is also stated, by the some authority, that great
hostility exists among the native population of

as active support is rendered by the neigboring

Wilmot's Proclamation.

Judge Wilmot who is chairman of the Repub-
lican or SanlJo committee, in this State, has issu
ed proclamation inviting the faithful to meet in
convention at Philadelphia, on the 10th day of
June next, for the purpose of forming an electo-
raj ticket, nominating State officers, &c. The
proclamation is sufficiently bombastic, as it nat
urally would be, and reads as if the Judge had
resolved upon the destruction of Mr.. Fillmore.
Poor Fillmorei that visit to Rome will fetch him
yet. We see but one way for him to get out of
the scrape, and that is to attach himself to the
So third order of st. Francis"
The Judge speaks in his proclamation Of sc at
tempts to corrupt the Legislative department of
the government-to debauch our public men,
Wonder if he means the Rev. Mr.. Pierce and his
recent financial operations in Congress? there is
9" certainly a reference to alusions" here, that
will bear that construction.
We hope that the Judge will have good time
with his convention; that is in case, that Mr. Buck
alew's resolution in relation to the meddlng of
Judges in partizan politics, does not pass.
By the way, it is high time that the community
should frown down political Judges. The func-
tions Of Judge so lofty in their nature, so i'm
portant in their bearing on the characters and
fortunes of all citizens should be performed by
men above and beyond the turmoil of political
parties The purity OF the ermine, should never
be soiled with the dust from the arena of parti-
zan strife, for how can even handed justice be
meted out by men whose feelings are swayed by
political ambition, and whose perceptions are
blinded by the mists of party predjudice.

Halls Patent Coffee Pot.

Col Henry Fink has been sojourning in our
town for a few days, disposing of the above Pat
ent-a number of our citizens have purchased,
and the general opinion is that they answer the
purpose. Col! Fink will remain few days lon
ger for the purpose of disposing of the balance
he has on hand. Those wishing to secure one
should call soon. The following are the direc-
tons =
Put into the Coffee Pot two thirds of the amount
of Coffee generally used, pour your boiling
water as in the ordinary way, then FIJI your con-
denser with cold water, and place it top of the
Coffee Pot, place the Pot tie Stove or fire, let
it remain until the steam commences to escape
through tie tube, when .your. Coffee will be
thoroughly done.
The unwholesome gases absorbed by the COT
fee, with the steam will rise up into the tube in
the condenser, where the gasses will become sepa-
rated from The steam and pass out through the
tube the steam coming in contact with cold sur
face, will become condensed into what may be
considered the essence of the Coffee, will fall back
in cool drops into the Pot, sink to the bottom,
carry down the sediment, and effectually settle
the Coffee, without the use of eggs or any other
ingredient. The tubes through the condenser
serves also as safety tube against explosion
The milk for your Coffee can well be heated in
the condenser, and will serve as well as water for
condensing the Coffee.
Col. Fink has also the right of Duncan's Patent
Churn which is said to be an excellent article, its
moddle can be seen at Major Thonpson's Hotel.

The Washington "Union" and MIR. Bu-
ohanan


The :" Pennsylvania " of a recent date, allu-
ding to statepent in the Washington Union.
says in reference to the course of that paper:
MR.. BUCHANAN'S RETURN.
The Washington Union says -. We have
been favored with the perusal of a private letter
from Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN to gentleman in
this city, in which Mr.. B. states that he would
leave for the continent soon his successor
reached London and that, after spending few
days in travelling he expected to take passage on
board the steamer Arago, which is advertised to
sail from Havre for New York on the 9th Of
April"
We suspect that the fact announced in the
above paragraph is true, although we do not con-
slider the Union very good authority, just now,
for anything that relates to Mr.. BUCHANAN. A
more discreditable attempt to deceive it's readers,
could not have been enacted by the Union, than
the suppression of Resolutions in favor of Mr..
BUCHANAN, passed at some of the recent meetings
in Virginia. The Berkeley proceedings, publish
ed in the Union, were greatly mutilated, and as
they appeared, were fraud upon the Democracy
of the land. The Resolution in favor of Mr.. BU-
cHANAN was left out of the body of the proceed
ings. Such morality can have but few admirers
even among scurvy politicians"
The remarks from the Pennsylvanian Were
richly deserved by the course of the g Union.'-
1t would seem as if that Journal. pretend
ing to be the National organ of the Democratic
party, was trying to ignore Mr.. Buchanan, and
the great State of Pennsylvania! for we take it,
that at this time, Pennsylvania and Buchanan
are one and the same thing. Let these gentle
men go-ahead their official influence will count
very little against Mr.. Buchanan, when the hearts
of the people are with him. They are suppliants
to kiss the rod of power, and no petty intrigues
will divert them from their purpose of placing
this great Statesman at the head of this mighty
Republic. The " Union - will soon find that il
is hopeless work trying to ''put out the sun with
a farthing candle.n

The License Bill.

The Committee of Conference on the License
bill reported it back to both Houses of the Legis-
lature on Friday last, having adopted substantial
ly Brownies bill with some few amendments
The report was concurred in by both Houses
by large majority, but under protest from many
members, who expressed themselves opposed to
many of its provisions, but were compelled to
take it as the best and only bill that could be got
this Session, and preferable to the es jug law of
last year. Upon adopting the report the vote in
the Senate was Yeas 81, Noys 0. absent 5-In
the House Yeays Ga, Noys 80; the Philadelphia
members all voting against it except Messrs
Morris and Dock
The law is stringent one, but will not put
this YeXed question at rest. Time will prove
its obnoxious features, and how it works. An
other legislature viii be required to make it
more acceptable to the people. although it cannot
be denied that there are some salutary measures
embraced in it. 1t is too long for publication this
week but we shall lay it before our readers here
after, when they can Judge of it for themselves.
Hotels graded and classed according to their an
nual rental, there being nine classes. The highest
rate of license is $1,000, and the lowest $25, ex-
cept in the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburg
where no license shall be for less sum than $75.
In country towns and Boroughs having over 200
taxabes the amount of license is $50. In the
cities one hotel is to be licensed for every 100
taxables, and one for every $50 taxables else
where. 1t also allows one restaurant, or eating
house to be licensed for every four hotels every
where, the license not to be less than 500, and to
be granted by the Court.
The "Iug Law" of last pear is repealed. but
the Buckalew law, and Sunday law are still in
force
BY this mornings mail we learn that the Gov
ernor has signed the bill, consequently it is now
the law of the land.
