PENSsYLvASrA.-There is general shaking up
among the politicians of this State. In districts
where Democracy ruled rough-shod and with the
greatest impunity, now can be found a majority
in favor Of Fremont and Dayton. The great
mass of the working people are indignant at the
course OF the Administration, and are deter
mined that man shall occupy the Presidential
Chair, who will not seek to degrade the free la.
Dor of the North to the slave labor of the South.
The Pittsburgh Gazette, while talking ON this
subject, among other things says sc 1t is of
no use now for politicians to palter or falter ;
the people will sweep over them like an irresist-
BILE flood. Those who will not lead must either
follow or be swept out of the way. The honest
yeomanry--the masses, the working men-the
backbone of the community are for Fremont !;
and the enthusiasm awakened by his name is un-
equalled by anything in the recent history of
politics"
David Wilmot is in the field and is doing good
service. The Germans of this State are aockine
to our standard in great numbers.

is it to see to these things? Steps are needed
to get into the Court House, and when in, a
railing is needed about the stairs to prevent
persons from falling off and seriously iniuring
them. and then broom is needed to sweep out
the dirt that obstructs the way. The exterior

know that remedy is needed, and that some
body is to blame. Who is it?

BECOMING AGIrATED.-The removal of Major
Murphy and the resignation of Secretary Rosser,
is just now creating some little stir about town.
The Department at Washington are becoming
aware Of the fact that there is corruption here
which needs cleaning out, and in order to save
the best portion Of the party for future emer-
gency, some Of the old hacks are to be thrown
overheard, and new ones appointed. We assert,
without fear Of contradiction, that the Govern
mental affairs Of this Territory, are in a most
debased condition. Important trusts are prosti-
tuted to money getting. officials are constantly
dabbling in corner lots and town sites, and hon.
est creditors are debarred from receiving their
just dues because men in high places have appro-
priated the means to their own use. We speak
Of that which We do know, and it is time the De-
partment at Washington should be made ac-
quainted with the fact, and if they do not desire
to see thousands more of Uncle Sans money
squandered, let them commence thorough ref
ormation Immediately. We do not impeach the
honesty or capability of Major Murphy, but we
know of several officials in this Territory whose
removal would be blessing to the community.
