The Main Line,

The Echo'' of last week contains under this
caption, a notice, which would seem to recon-
mend the passage Of the bill to lease the Main
Line to the Pennsylvania Union Canal Company
Had the accomplished editor of the So Echo " ex-
amined the bill in question, we satisfied that
he could not have given his appreciation to ore of
the most dangerous snakes that has been attempt
ed to be slnuggled through the present Legisla-
ture. We look upon it as the most barefaced at
tempt that has as yet been made TO steal the Main
Line. We agree with our contemporary that
s. competition is all important" and we would
not object to see the Main Line in the hands of a
company who would manage it with view to
fhe interests of the State, and would hold the
Pennsylvania Rail Road Company in check
But as this company have set their hearts upon
the possession of the Main Line, in order TO secure
their darling object Of monopolizng the carrying
trade through Pennsylvania, too much caution
cannot be exercised. The company's scheme is
perfect proteus it comes up in every shape, in
every disguise; at time it is in the guise of
regular offer to purchase, at another, it is an offer
to lease-again under the seductive mask of econ
omy they generously offsr to relieve the State from
all the expense Of working the main line, and
carry all eastern and western freight over their
own road-and that, too. just at a time when
their Tunnel has began to cave in, and they have
no certainty from day to-day whether they can
pass pound of their own freight.
If an offer can. be got to lease the works, on
terms fair, and prgatabIe to the Commonwealth,
from a company composed of men who are hos
tile to. and cannot be governed or bought by the
Pennsylvania Rail Road company, that offer
should be considered and perhaps, accepted. But
let the Legislature put its foot upon any scheme
intrigue, to lay the best interests Of the State
at the feet Of John Edgar Thompson and the
Board of Directors of the company. 1t would be
we'll if a few more members had the manly inde-
pendence and fidelity of our representative,
Smith, who on this question as well as every 9th
er, has been true to his constituents and the

Washington City Items.

WAsHnNGToN CITY, March 17-Mr Bu-
chanan's letters by the Arabia announce the
feelings in the political circles IN England to-
wards the United States as much modified on
the present differences. The reaction is even
stronger than indicated by the press, and is ia
vorable to a reasonable adjustment. No diff
culties need now be anticipated on that score,
although there has been no recent conferences,
owing to Lord Clarenden's absence at Paris.
Some apprehension is entertained as to the po-
htical effect Of the publication of the enlist
ment aud Central American correspondence.
There have been recent friendly demonstra-
tons towards Mr.. Buchanan, who viii remain
until his successor arrives, whom Mr.. Buchaa-
an will present Immediately.
Two affidavits have been received by the
Government from commissioned officers at
tached to the foreign legation, stating that the
British Vice Consul Stanley agreed to pay
them and such others as were held to bail fol
recruiting, the same compensation as though
in service, and they received S72 monthly
until recently, when Mr.. Stanley told them
he was going to Washington to close affairs
and asked them for the correspondence and
other documents in their possession. These
were delivered in mistaken confidence, and
then the men were discarded. Hence came
the publicity.
The treaty of Denmark on the Sound Dues
expires about the middle of April under notice
given, but the President extended the time
for its going into practical effect, sixty day:
longer, at the urgent request of that govern
ment. 1t appears that the Congress which
met at Copenhagen on this subject adjourned
but did not disperse, and has again resumed
negotiations in the hope of reaching some ac
ceptable conclusion. Denmark desired the
postponement thus granted, but the admin.
tration will not accede to any renewed prop
osition of capitalization at ninety millions o
rix dollars.

The Jefferson Meeting.

On last Wednesday the Know Nothing meet
ing came off at Jefferson for the purpose of Sc
lecting Delegate from this county to the State
Convention of bad spirits which meets in Harris
burg to-day. 1t may be important to devote
some attention to this meeting of the anti Demo-
cratic Party in this county, and let US find out if
possible, who are the leaders and members Of
that party. We have received no official account
of TIE proceedings; they will doubtless be pub
ishcd in the Thug organ" we can then pitch
in at leisure.
We are informed that the meeting WAS compo-
sed of 25 or 80 men, boys, and little dogs. Mr..
Geo. S. King, late Know Nothing member from
this county, pulled the wires on the occasion.
He selected George w. Kern, of Johnstown as
the Delegate. Mr.. Kern is not bad sort of
citizen, but we regret to see that he has become
nose of wax in the hands of politician like
George s. King. Mr.. Kern stated that he was
not "Know Nothing" but was "Republi-
can"
We have in another article, alluded to the fear
of the Know-Nothngs in this county to hide
themselves behind Seward and RcpublicansIn.
The Jefferson move is but a part of the game.
We have doubt that Mr.. Kern was selected in
the secret meeting in the Know Nothing coun-
ellis, aud 1t may be without his knowledge, for we
give him credit for integrity, although we cannot
for political acuteness and this outside manovre
at Jefferson, is merely to catch grecnhorns, by
giving apparent sanction in public to the Sc
lection.
Tho people of Cambria county cannot be de-
ceived so easily. They know well that the same
intolerabo bigotry and corruption is sought to be
concealed by the specious names of ''American
ism" and 50 Republicanism, that they are one
and the same thing, and are merely other and
more taking names for Know -Nothngsn.
" Sam has not been fortunate in his choice of
disguise. Cambria county has never been tainted
with Aboltionisna, and do not think that he will
make any new friends by putting on the 'snig-
ger" lie may frizzle his locks, black his face,
assume the African even to the very odor, and
strut aboutin the hope of making new conquests,
but his appearance in his borrowed pluInes & }

p r. B. Tunnel.

On last Friday and Saturday, immense masses
of rock and earth fell from the roof of the Tun-
mel on the Pennsylvania Rail Road. blocking up
the eastern entrance, so that communication was
cut off during some hours. Mr.. I. Scott, the
Assistant Superintendent, having arrived at the
spot, through his energy and activity the obstruc-
ton was soon removed. The mail train for the
west, containing large load of passengers was
detained at Altoona until Sunday morning. The
Passengers were loud in their praises of Capt.
Thompson aaA his lady, whose kindness and at
tention had made their stay so agreeable.
This great Tunnel is not all arched, some GOO
feet having been left in that situation. The COM
pauy for their own interest and that of the trav-
cling community should hare this arching COM
pleted Immediately. That arching should have
been completed before ever Passenger trains were
suffered to pass through the Tunnel: that it has
long remained unfinished, is another evidence of
the reckless disregard Of private interests which
has always characterized this unscrupulous COM
pany and of how little value in their estimation,
is human life when weighed against dollars.

The jug Law in Ebensburg.

The jug law still reig,s Supreme in this place,
and the worthy, ancient and honorable order OF
thirsty fellows" are consequently in a bad way.
As for ourselves, having always been very fond Of
water, we do not experience the slightest incon-
vanience, from the new arrangement. The other
day. we chanced to enter what was recently the
bar-room, of one of our hotels, and found a
g thirsty fellow,' eloquently but vainly, ipnplo-
ring the landlord for little spiritual consolation
The scene was touching to contemplate, and con-
scious of our inability to do justice to it in dull
prose, we at once determined to submit it to our
:. Poetical Machine" in the hope that it would
produce something worthy the theme. We ac-
cordingly at once set it going. and considering
the important fact, that we minus the neces-
sary oil - wherewith to grease the wheels, we
must say, it worked remarkably well. Hearken
! Oh blame not the landlord for closing the bar,
Where once whiskey and brandy invitingly stood
He'd fain give you some, for he knows that you
are,
Cold and thirsty, and therefore, 'twould do you
much good,
But the jug laws in force now, good times are
gone by,
IT'S in vain that you say you've quarter to
spend,
For g small drop of whiskey," you in secret
must sigh,
For it's treason to sell it, or give it, or lend.
Then ask not the landlord to give you drink,
He knows that your thirsty just well you do,
To blind horse a nod is as good wink,
SO at once leave off asking for tel you it's true,
The jug laws triumphant. But ere come to
an end,
Since you are so bad off that you must have a
Slug
may as well tell you, just to prove Pm your
friend.
Call in with Dick Tudor, and he'll fill you jug.

Sneeches in Convention.

We publish this week the speeches Of Mcssrs.
Brewer, Packer, Roberts and Welsh, as delivered
in the late Democratic Convention at Harrisburg.
They are well worth perusal, and we shall en-
deavor hereafter to find room for the speeches of
other prominent democrats delivered at thesane
time. b
The remarks of these gentlemen bear evidence
that their several authors possess very considerable
ability. Mr.. Brewer is member Of the Cham
bcrsburg bar-is gentleman of highly culti-
waited intellect, and has long enjoyed in his
ty, an enviable reputation public speaker
Gen. PACKER has occupied a more prominent DO
stion before the people of the State, and is well
known as gentleman of great ability Mr. Rob
ERrs is the District Attorney for Allegheny coun-
tv, having been elected two years ago when Al
legheny was one of the strongholds of the oppo-
stion. This shows his great popularity at home
He exceedingly pleasant and ready speaker
and is always willing to engage in a contest when
the interests of his party demand his services
Mr.. WELSH is a member of our State Senate
| having beaten his competitor last fall by an old
fashioned majority. He went to England with
| MIR BUCHANAN and staid with him two years as
! his private secretary. To be on terms of conf
Dental intimacy with James BUoHANAN is an
honor of which any young man might well be
proud but it was position for which he was EN-.
inently fitted on account of his talents and high
character for integrity. His speech in the con
vention was the first of his efforts we ever had
the pleasure of hearing, and must say that We
were delighted with the matter and the manner
of his delivery. He spoke feelingly and know
ingly of Mr.. BUCHANAN, which added greatly tc
the effect oe his neat encolnium. Mr. w. has
publicly enlisted for the compags, and his elo-
quent voice viii be raised whenever required
should Pennsylvania's great statesman be placed
in nomination for the Presidency. That he viii
be nominated we have no doubt-every days In
t9lligenoe but strengthens us in this belief. The

discover and break up a most formidable and nu-
merous band of desperadoes, who were engaged
in Horse Stealing, Burglary and Highway Rob

the band have been lately arrested in different

have been made by some of them. We lay be-

patch and other Journals, giving some clue to
their operations. Many of our citizens are anxious
for further Developments, in as-much as many of
them have suffered by the operations of the gang,
many good horses have been stolen in this neigh
borhood. during the last year, and it is to be
hoped that the Investigations now making may
lead to their recovery. On last Friday, Sheriff

Parole, '' Paris" C0unfersiyn, q Reading. ''
Col. Gays regiment of Gen. Wadworth s
brigade to go over to Long Island tomorrow
morning, there to take orders from Gen.
Greene.
1t is with great concern the General under
stands that iealousies have arisen among the
troops from the different provinces, and re-
aections frequently thrown out can only tend
to irritate each other and injure the noble
cause in which we are engaged, and which we
ought to support with one hand and one
heart. The General most earnestly entreats
the officers and soldiers to consider the conse-
quences that they can assist our enemies no
way more effectually than making divisions
among ourselves; that the provinces are all
united to oppose the enemy, and oil dtsttnc-
ttons sank in the name Of an 4ner}can. To
make this honorable, ard preserve the liberty
Of our country, ought to be our only emula-
ton, and he will be the best soldier and the
best patriot who contributes most to this glo-
rious work, whatever his station or from what
ever part of the country he may come. Let
all distinctions Of National, Country, and
Prouiiace, therefore, be lost IN the generous
contest acho shall beharc aciM the most courage
against the enemy, and the most kindness and
good humor to each other. If there are any
officers and soldiers so lost to virtue and love
of their country as TO continue in this prac-
tice after this order, the General assures
them, and is directed by the Congress to de-
clare to the whole army, that such persons
shall be severely punished and dismissed the
service with disgrace.
