gardens, swilling Lager beer and smoking
his beloved pipe, or worst Of all, those
"reformers who under the name of"Su
day Institutes" "Free enquircrs, "Socisl
harmonists," &c, array themselves in open
warfare against priestcraft, and kingcraft,
church and state-or without state, and
gather up disciples from among the hor-
des of untaught and uncarcdfor youth,
with whom they minglc in workshops
through the week, and who on account Of
onr obnoxious apprentice system are left
to be prey to them or any other devou-
rers who may light upon them.
This is the element which has de-
fcated heretofore all efforts at tenn
perancc reform for legislation on that
subject, of course, interferes with mems
rights, both as producers and consumers.
The Sunday law which has just been pas
sed, will prove strong enemy to "social
REFORM and will be very likely to hand
over many hopeful disciples to the are Of
the church the next step, will be church
and state, to which We have made one step
already, by retaining the Bible in the
public schools, notwithstanding the tender
consciences Of the thousands Of pious Ro-
manists, and Jealous Hebrews, who form
SO large portion Of our fellow citizens;
and if such things are allowed to pass
with impunity, where are our liberties?
Such is about the train Of reasoning BY
which our radical sages convince them
selves of their jealous patriotism and
staunch democracy, but fail to convince
any one else. Such are the men who
would blot the word SABBATH, from our
language, and the day from our calender.
Remove that day, and in its stead will
glare the inscription-"Death is an eter-
nal sleep" and the aimsy shell that walks
around; labelled "moral REFORM" will dis
close very soon, Robespierre, Danton
or Marat. Perhaps you think there is
no danger Of such q crisis, perhaps not
but there is need of watchfulness and there
is need Of man J good wholesome laws
which We have not and there is above all,
need Of religious journalism-examine our
principal journals and judge if there is
not.
If timo would permit, 1 would write
you series of letters on the sabbath of
the city, but dare not promise.
You see by the papers that although We
have later news from the east, there seems
to be no change of affairs, everything is in
statu quo and old-fogydom triumphant.
The journals Of course speculate wisely on
the change of the British ministry, but l
have learned to look upon time as the best
judge of these affairs, after all.
Business this way, begins to look up,
but the season will be light, for merchants
are not anxious to sell, and will not push
men to buy beyond their means, as is too
generally the case, and for which it is right
they should suffer sometimes.

Harman St. Clair, having sold some pro-
duce in this Borough during tho day, for
which he obtained the money-about 80

passage on condition that he should pay
twenty-five cents, this ho did, got in, pro
ceeded short distance when be was told
he must pay another quarter, very soon ano-
.her was demanded. and another. He then
refused to pay and proceeded to get out,
whereupon he was knocked down, and robbed
of all the money he had, dragged upon the
railway track, and left there for dead.
The men in the wagon were all unknown
TO Mr.. ST. Clair, but he being able TO describe
them, the proper information was lodged
with Justice Sechler, vhereupon he issued a
warrant TO Constable Young. who arrested
three men. to Wit; Geo. Bingham, Thos. Ray,

A flying visit home has accumulated

only way is to plunge into the pile like q

however in the fact, that in a year, or
eighteen months, after the dislocations and

last week. / hope it will help to increase
its circulation in your region. Its general
contents are of immediate practical inter
est to every Director, teacher, aud friend
of education in the State, and aside from
this, in mere business point of view, it
Is worth more than the subscription price,
on account Of the current decisions of the
State Superintendent, which are published
in it every month, and thus save much
trouble and correspondence to both direct
ors and the Department. As six copies
are furnished for s., there is no good rea-
son why each board Of Directors should
not supply themselves at once, and it
woald be well for teachers and others to
follow suit.
The Senatorial question having been
transferred from the Capitol to the people
at large, the legislature will now have
some leisure for other business. Many
bills Of importance have been passed by
the Senate, and await the action Of the
House. Bank bills have leen reported
from almost every county iu the State,
and there seems to be disposition to pass
the whole batch, and compel the Governor
10 make his own selection.

PHILAD,, March 5, 1855.
DEAR CHRoyIcLH.-The genial sun Of
Spring is adding a charm to life this beau
siful March morning; the workman as he
passes along to his daily labor, looks fresh
and vigorous, for he has rested through the
Sabbath day, and the dust and fatigue Of
. weeks toll have been removed, and his
clean md shaven face and cheerful asp Get
furnish An eloquent appeal for the Sabbath.
We are looked upon here, and We look
upon ourselves, as Sabbath keeping
people, because the majority recognize
the institution and abstain from labor.
But if VIC will divide tho two classes, those
who ksep The .SIb5ath, and those to whom
it is mere holiday, it will be found that
the latter are By far the largest class add
70 these the thousands of English radicals
and German atheists who are arrayed di-
rectly against the Sabbath, as the surest
means of sapping the foundations of Rcli.
gion, and see what multitude We have.
If you are at loss where to draw .
line, or how to separate these elements,
just let any one of our Legislators intro
dpce bill for the be:ter observance of the
Sabbath, aud watch the multitude Of pat
Tiotic hands that will be raised against le-
gislatiDg on that subject! and listen to
the multitude Of voices warning against
church and state collisions-but mark who
they are!

Salary of Wem1erS.

We noticed some weeks ago the passage
Of a bill 10 the State Senate, to increase
the pay of members to $500 for session
This measure is condemned in strong terms
by all tae independent papers in the State;
and if the tone fthc Press is to ho regard
ed as an indication Of popular sentiment,
it is equally unpopular with the great mass
Of tho people. The indications are that
in the event of the passage Of this bill,
the press and the people will speak in
thunder tones Of condemnation, and call
upon the Governor to veto it. In view of
the fact that two months Of the session
have already expired and only one or two
public bills passed, it would be advisable
for the peoples representatives to 60 to
work at once, and transact the legitimate
business for which they were sent there in-
etsad of wasting time in tinkering up a
bill to increase their own pay.
