A License Bill.

We have received copy of bill reported by
Judge Wilkins Of the Senate, to repeal the res
training liquor law and substitute to regulate
tavern licenses and to restrain the use Of spritu-
Gus liquors. 1t consists of twenty sections.
1t provides that person hereafter, unless he be
a citizen of the United States, and of good NOR
al and sober character, shall keep public house.
Also, that there shall be two classes of taverns
the one class TO be chargeable with high rate of
assessment, and authorized to retail wines, BRAN
dy, spirits, malt and brewed liquors; the other
class chargeable with low rates of assessments,
and authorized to retail cider, beer, ale, porter
and malt liquors. The fourth section provides
that the Judges of the several Courts of the Quar-
ter Sessions shall hear the applications, and the
fifth section thus designates the rates;
For the first class $1,000, in all cases where the
adjusted yearly rental or valuation of the house
and property occupied or intended to be occupied
for that purpose, shall be $4,000 or more.
For the second class, where the rental shall be
$4,000 ard not more than $4,000, the price of
the license shall be $500.

From the Washington Union.
The Old Guard can Never Surrender.

In the present situation of parties, it i i'm
possible to estimate too highly the importance
of the approaching political contest Never
was graver or more vital issue presented to
the American people than that which must in
evitably enter into the Presidential canvass Of
1856 This issue is union disuRi0a. We
speak not as an alarmist, but in the honest
conviction that nothing bat the triumph of
the Democratic party can save the country
from an Abolition President. Never wee
the enemies OF the constitution and the Union
stronger, more determined, or more favored
by circumstances, than they will then be.
For years fanaticism, political, social and reli-
gious, has left no effort untried to destroy the
constitution and its friends. For this aim
they are marshaIling their every man to make
one last great effort The country and the
constitution have but one hope. but one friend,
the Democratic party 1t battles for no mere
party ascendency, but for the constitution. In
defence of this noble instrument it enters the
contest Its cause is the cause of the Union
the constitution and the Union, one and in-
separable. BY these they have lived; by
those they will conquer or they viii fall-for
the Old Guard can never sure nder its proud
banner, Our cause is a glorious one, and
with a proud and willing heart viii every true
Democrat do battle in it. The struggle will
be fierce, but the victory will be all the proud
er for that The hopes of the people are in
the Democracy, and their eyes are fixed upon
them as they marshal their tried mcn for bat
tie They expect to see every Democret at
his post, aud ready for action. Our enemies
are harmless while we remain true to our
selves. Dissension and division alone can
defeat US These then, are the enemies we
have most to guard against. United-of one
heart, of one mind, and of one faith-the
great national Democratic party may defy all
the combined hosts of fanaticism. Now all is
bright before us Each day that comes shows
US the old legions which time and again have
done battle in the good old cause, wheeling
into line all eager for the fray. And when
the battle signal sounds TO the music Of the
aloft its proud banner in spite of all its foes
comtined-for the old Guard can nercr sur
render.

The Case Of Mr.. CHAMPION.

The London Shipping Gazette discusses
the case of Mr. Champion at some length,
and closes with this language:
'EMr Champion, although not publicly I'M
peached, is openly charged with having taken
advantage of his position at a foreign court to
transgress, and encourage others TO violate,
the laws of the country in which he Is resi-
dent To this charge MIR. Champion las as
vet voucbsafed no answer. The United States
government, therefore, reasonably asks for
explanation and satisfaction. Mr.. Champion
has hitherto, by the manner In which he has
discharged the important functions entrusted
to him, secured the esteem of every member
of the Cabinet of Washington, and generally
of the American people and when the accu-
sations were brought against him, his simple
denial would have no doubt been satisfactory
to the American government. The British
Minister, however, refused to make anV an
swer 10 the charges until he had communica-
ted with the government at home, and, hav-
ing so communicated, finally decided upon
saving nothing, either in explanation. exten-
uation. or defence of his conduct. What
other course was open to the United States
Government than to require from the British
Government the explanations which the Brit
ish Minister refused to give? And what
reason can poSslpiy lhuuce tiie bFitISh NoN-
ernment to decline giving such explanation
Either Mr. Champion has transgressed the
neutrality laws of the United States, or he
has not If he has not, what easy to
say so? Why has the settlement of the mat
ter been delayed SO long? Why leave so
unpleasant question an open one just pre-
viously to the publication of the Presidents
Message? This document has, no doubt,
been delayed until Mr. Bucbanan's dispatches
arrived, SO that the dispute between the two
Governments could have been referred to as
past, if mentioned at all. But if the report
to which we have directed attention be true
and the British Government have really de-
clined to gire the required explanations, we
cannot be surprised if such conduct be aliu-
ded TO in the Message with asperity, and the
dismissal of Mr.. Champion should close the
first scene of very unpleasant if not a dis
creditable transaction"

Our Members.

Il il pleasing To the Democracy of this repre-
sentative district to obse-ve the bold consistent
and direct course pursued by our Representatives
at Harrisburg. Public opinion justifses US in say
ing that, thus far, Maj. Bernhard aud Captain
Smith have entirely carried out the wishes of their
constituents. and have shown that they deserve
the confidence reposed III them. They are always
to be found at their posts in the House. vigant
and attentive, not only to the interests Of their
own district, but also of the Commonwealth at
large. Laborious and industrious, they have car
ried their share of influence. As citizen of Cam
bria county, were gratifed, whilst listening to
a debate in tie House, the other day, to witness
the applause bestowed by members on some re
marks made by Mr.. Smith, on the motion to print
Gen. Jackson's Farewell Address. The Know
Nothngs were seized with terror and quakipg
at the very mention of the old Hero's name, and
commenced a terrible caterwauling: in the midst
of their tribulation, Mr.. Smith got up and settled
the hash for them, in one of his off hand plthy
speeches We suboin an imperfect report of the
remarks, which though incomplete, may yet serve
to give an idea of that genteman's style of speak
ing; a STYLE which direct, energetic, and business
like is always efficaciors in deliberative assem-
bly,.
MR.. SMlTH.-Mr Speaker, the more I have
heard said against the printing of this address,
and the more | have reflected upon it, the more
am 1 impressed with its virtue and its importance,
and the greater has my anxiety become to have
it printed and freely circulated
Had there been no opposition to the printing
of this address, l would have been satisfied with
the number of copies the resolution proposes to
have printed, viz: 10000 copies in the English
language, and 5000 copies in the German Ian
guage, but convinced, that that num-
Der is not sufficient.
1t is document which should be in every
house in the Union. 1t is a document which
should be read and re-read by every citizen of the
United States, both old and young. No docu-
ment ever set forth many important truths
and useful lessons, or hung out so many glorious
beacon lights as the Farewell Address of Gen.
Andrew jackson There is greatness attaching
to the Farewell Address of that illustrious sage
and hero, which should render it hallowed in the
recollection of every American citizen, and which
should cause it to be cherished and treasured up
as an example of greatness
Mr.. Speaker, there cannot be too many copies
of this address printed and circulated, and | now
move to amend the resolution by increasing the
number of copies to be printed in the English,
to fifteen thousand.

State Treasurer.

The Legislature on Monday last elected Henry
S Magraw, Esq. formerly of Pittsburg, but now
of Lancaster, to the office of State Treasurer fol
one year from the first Monday of may next. The
election was effected upon the first ballot, Mr.
Magraw receiving 70 votes, and the presen. in
cumbent Eli Sifer ~.
Mr.. Nagraw is gentleman of decided ability,
of strict integrity, excellent business habits, and
will no doubt prove bimself splendid officer
He is well known to the Democracy of Western
Pennsylvania for his activity and the consistency
of his course in many political contest in our
State, and his election was we'll merited. The
unanimity with which he was nominated IN cau-
Gus by the Democratic members of the legislature
is high compliment to his worth, it being done
on the FIRST ballot, and such an occurrence we be
lieve has rot taken place in Pennsylvania for
many wears

Our county has been infested for several years
with a gang of horse thieves, and it has been i'm
possible for the officers of the law the owners of
horses to arrest them. We are informed that a
number of persons who reside in this county are
strongly suspected. Last summer MIR. Geo. Set
tlemyer, of SuInmerhil township lost two vaua-
bic hor ;es, and VIM. Carney of Cambria township
lost two together with a number of others taken
about the same time. Mr. S. received informa-
ton from citizen of Luzerne county, that he
could obtain his horses by going to the place and
proving them he went on and found one of them,
the other having been killed by hard usage
Carney has received information that his horses
are there also.
We copy the following from the Greensburg
Democrat:
HORSE THIEvEs.-A man by the name of Rut-
ter, who had been arrested in Luzerne County,
was taken to Pittsburgh Jail on Thursday morn
ing by Constable Mechling. For number of
years past, there appears to have been regular
Is organized band of horse thieves, who have de-
pots and assistants through Pennsylvania and ex-
tending into New York. Rutter and man by
the name of Brown were arrested in Wilkesbarre,
through the efforts of Mr. Sloan, of Derry Town
ship. Information also was obtained by him of a
number of horses which had been stolen from this
county. some of which were recovered. We are
informed that steps are being taken to arrest some
other parties who belong to the band, and that
the whole concern will be exposed and the guilty
ones brought to punishment. We do not feel at
liberty to make public any further particulars at
present.
1t appears that Rutter and Brown are the in
dividuals who made way with Settlemyer's and
Carneys horses.
