Congress.

A few days since Hon, Joseph R. Chandler, a
whig member from the city of Philadelphia, in
reply to a speech of Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts,.
favored the assembled intelligence Of the nation
with one of the most brilliant forensic Efforts that
has ever echoed through the Halls of the House Of
Representatives,
The occasion was one calculated to impress an
honest and intelligent statesman with the clearest
convictions of those duties which patriotism m
spires. The effort of Mr.. Chandler was made
against fanaticism, persecution, and an ungodly
'ssortie, made upon the constitution of the coun-
try, by the unsanctifed sons Of the reasonable
sires. who hung out the blue-ghts from the shores
of Connecticut, to light the way for the British
feet to desecrate the free soil of America
We win publish the speech entire as it
arrives. and can promise our patrons intellec-
tual treat in its perusal.

Pennsylvania.

This week ushers in new Executive of the
Keystone State. Mr.. Pollock took the mantle of
power upon himself on last Tuesday, and whether
In three years from this time will be indignantly
" torn from his shoulders" is question, upon
which the people will act when the period arrives.
1t is vain to speculate upon what may be the
prominent measures of the incoming Administra-
ton Time alone will develope them. Any hon
est effort to contribute to- the advantage of the
State, and perpetuate free institutions, which
1t may occur to the Rew incumbent of Gubernato-
rial honors to make, should meet with the cordial
cooperation of the democracy.
While upon the other hand, if he gives himself
up to the g new lights" who seek to improve up
on the constitution, and to break down all the
barriers which reason and justice have interposed
against fanaticism and fury, then he shall deserve
the judgment, that just as surely awaits him, of
being damned to the infamy of an affecting re-
mcmbrance.

A Rehuke.

At the recent elections in Pittsburg for Munich
pal officers, and for Mayor of that city, a signal
rebuke was administered to that unholy and un-
constitutional compact of political cut-throats,
y-cleped Know Nothings- That rebuke was sig
nal triumph of law, order, and the constitution,
over the Hnhallowed combination of secret con-
clave To give certain prestige of success to the
operations of the Know Nothings, convention of
the Foul Birds assembled in Pittsburg few days
preceding the election of Mayor. The daily pa
pers of that city hindered the in Fiction of the
moral curse which would have been the result Of
their triumph. Timely notice that pick pockets
were abroad, and that the house keepers of that
city were in danger of losing silver spoons attrac-
ted attention to the iEgress of the suspicious fra
ternity who congregated at the Masonic Hail. The
citizens Of Pttsburg deserve the thanks of the
whole country, for their patriotic and successful
opposition TO the ssnix wesers."

Hon. .Johu l. Dawson.

In the House of Representatives of the United

John L. Dawson, a representative from the Fay
cite and Somerset District, addressed the House

as IN receipt OF important dispatches, show
Inc that an amicable settlement of the Sound
Dues question is not TO be expected They
inform him that England has intimated if an
American vessel passes the Sound without
paying toll after April next, she will claim
the like privilege. France also informs ID en-
mark that, not being altogether well pleased
with her position towards Russia and the al
lies, she must expect no assistance from the
Emperor in her difficulties Alone, then. to
Prussia can Denmark turn for aid. In her
last appeal to the neighboring powers of
Europe, Denmark has declared that. without
the Sound Dues or some equivalent. she
must cease to be a separate political power.
Very well. II Denmark cannot maintain
the position of an independent power without
levying black mail upon the commerce Of
other nations, it is time that she should be
annexed TO some country thatis ableto stand
alone.
