Senator Bigler, says an exchange, was can
Brodhead in the belief that the effect Of the
tariff bill for which he voted, would be disas-
trous to the great coal and iron interests of
Pennsylvania, and sought to justify his shame
less betrayal of those interests by the flimsy
plea that, ''as Senator he felt it his duty to
look beyond the interests of his own State to
those of all the States.' The industrial in
terests of his own State should first be taken
care of, before he takes the interests of other
States under his special protection at the cost
of an entire sacrifice of the former.

RESIGNATION OF Gov. GEARY.-It is now
matter of undoubted fact that Gov. Geary, of
Kansas, has threatened to resign unless de-
cisive steps are Immediately taken to sus-
tain him. He complains that President Pierce
did not sustain him as he had been led to be-
lieve he would, asserts that at least fifty men
were under oath to assassinate him if his Off
cial career did not please them, says that not
one-half has been told about the outrages COM
mitted by the pro-slavery men. and thinks the
adoption of slavery constitution inevitable.
Geary is Democrat: was appointed by Pierce
and his statements cannot therefore be pro-
nounced esAbolition lies.' He is the third
Governor of Kansas, and when this fact, his
political views, his statements and those of his
predecessors about the condition OF affairs in
the Territory, &C., are all considered together,
we think every individual will be forced to ac-
knowledge that there must be something rad
ically wrong in Kansas, and good cause of COM
plant on the part Of the Free State settlers.

AFFAIRS IN KANSAS.

CAUSE OF GOV. GEARYS REsIGNATIoN.
ST. Louis, March 1.-THE ST. Louis Demo-
crat publishes statement relative to affairs
in Kansas, given by Gov. Geary. The cause
of the resignation of Gov. Geary is said 10
have been the failure of President Pierce to
fulfill the pledges made at the time the appoint
ment was conferred to support him Gov. G.)
with the power of the army and militia, and
the means of the Treasury, if necessary; but
instead of receiving this aid, he has paid 12,
900 out of his own pocket to meet the expen-
ses of the administration, has been refused the
aid and support of the military under the most
urgent circumstances, and thwarted by the
Judiciary of the Territory in every possible
manner. The Governor states that not less
than fifty men were under oath, fl ON the day
he entered the territory until he left it, to as
sassinate him, provided his official career did
not meet their appreciation.
The Governor regrets the step he has been
obliged to take, and feels confident that had
the promised assistance been rendered him, he
could have had administered the affairs of the
territory in manner acceptable to the honest
settlers of both sides. In relation to the out
RACES committed by the pro-slavery men, he
says one-half has not been told. He pronoun-
ces the murder of Baffum by Hays, as the most
old-blooded and atrocious affair ever witness
sed. His version of the Sherrad affair is sim
liar to those already published. He says, how
ever, that the account Published in the Repub
lican over the signature of s'Jones,' is a It's
sue of falsehoods.
The Governor complains much of the OBJ
structrons and multilations of his official cor
respondence. He says the mail bags were con-
stantly opened, and all Objectionable matter to
or from him, extracted. He thinks the estab-
lishment of Slavery Constitution in Kansas
inevitable.

KANSAS A SLAVE STATE.

eBuchanan, Breckinridge and Free Kansas"
was the false rallying cry of the Locofoco par
ty in this State in the late contest. The
scheme succeeded in securing the vote of
Pennsylvania and the election of Buchanan
Its object was to deceive the honest anti-Slave-
ry voters in the Locofoco ranks, and in the
face of solemn warning from the Fremont jour
nails, the people trusted to this promise. The
day of Judgment has arrived, even earlier than
We predicted. Mr.. Buchanan is President,
and now We are startled with the first rumb-
ling of the storm from Kansas. While Bu-
chanan is being inaugurated the bogus Legis-
lature OF Kansas passes bill, over the veto
of Gov. Geary, authorizing the election of del
egates to a State Convention to form a Con-
stitution in next September, and proriding that
no one shall vofe for the delegates scho has not
been in The Territory preuious 10 the first Of 4pril
merit. Now how does the case stand The
obnoxious laws still exist in full force prescri-
bng the qualifications of voter. The return
of Whitfield last fall proves that the Slave
Power, by fraud and force, can carry the elec-
ton. The Missouri river is not yet open en-
igration cannot enter the Territory before the
ii OF Oi tHuS IuS tlcCllOU Ol
delegates favorable to a Constitution with Sla-
very as its chief feature. In order to make
s'assurance doubly sure,'' the act of the Leg
islature provides that the Constitution shall not
be submitted 10 The people for their approval, but
shall be at once presented TO Congress and the
admission OF Kansas demanded as State. The
doctrine of s'squatter Sovereignty proclaimed
the law of the land in the Kansas Nebraska bill;
the Cincinnati platform and Buchanan IS inaug-
ural will make Locofoco House, Senate and
Pre- sident cry 'sAmen:'' "Let thy will be
done, oh ye immaculate saints of Kansas -
will be their response. ssPopular Sovereignty
will then be practically witnessed in all its
beautiful phases, and the credulous voters of
the middle States, whose eyes longed to view
the lovely yalles and plains of Kansas, will
have the choice Of an eternal disappointment,
or being placed on level with a servile race,
lorded over and ruled by the lazy but tyranni-
cal chiyalry of the South. Gov. Geary, who
sees the inevitable event, has resigned his Of
fee, determined not to witness the perpetra-
ton of SO horrid and wicked crime DOOM
ing that Paradise to the curse of human Slave
ry. Where are the Locofoco politicians who,
before the late election, boasted and promised
'Sthat Kansas would be free State ?'' They
have an awful sin to answer TO an outraged and
deceived people. The iniquity will recoiI u
pom the heads of its authors, and the overthrow
OF the cohorts of Locofocoism will as surely be
the result. There is now no hope left for Kan
sas; the fiat has gone forth, and she is now
virtually chained to the black car of Slavery /;
and upon President Buchanan, the next Con-
gress and the Locofoco party, let the respon-
siblity and treason to promises forever rest.

THE EPIDEMIC at Washington, or, the mys-
terious sickness which attacked everybo body
who put up at the National hotel, just previous
TO the Inauguration, and the cause of which
has been traced to the water taken from the
cistern of the house, into which a number of
rats, who had partaken of arsenic had plunged,
is of more serious character than is general
ly supposed. Mr.. Lenox, of Ohio, died last
week from its effect, and we see by the New
York papers that the wife of Mr.. Jay L. Ad-
ans who stopped at the hotel on her way home
from Savannah has also died from the sick
ness contracted there. 4 post nrOYtem exami-
nation of Mrs. Adrms revealed the fact ssthat
the stomach lad been partially eaten away !;
the bowels manifested symptoms of violent in
flamation the lungs were congested, and the
kidneys severely affected" These appearan-
ces indicate the presence and action Of arsenic
in the stomach. Mr.. o. 3. Matteson. member
OF Congress, is suffering severely. Many 9TH
er persons in New York, Newark and in Phil
adeiphfa, beside the President himself, are
much enfeebled by the attacks OF diarrhGa,
having their origin, as is supposed, in the poi
soned water which they drank.

HoLLowAY's OINTMENT AND PILLS, are the
finest remedies for Bad Legs.-Francis Tom
kinson, of Ottowa, Michigan, had the misfor-
tune six years ago. TO break his leg, which was
imperfectly set lay the doctor, the consequence
was, that it formed it self into an angry
wound, and despite of the various remedies he
tried he could not get any thing to cause it to
heal, and it was feared by all who knew him,
that he would be lame all his life. About
four months ago he commenced using Hollow
ay's Ointment and Pills, which soon caused an
improved appearance in the leg, he continued
them for nine weeks, and the leg is sound, to
the astonishment of all who know him.

PoLTIcAL RoMASIsM.--A secret conclave
was held at Rome, in December last, at which
the state of the Romish Church in Mexico and
South America was considered, the result of
which was the issuing of document of the
Pope, in which he complains bitterly of the
doings of the new Government of Mexico, de-
clares all the Measures taken by it against the
Papal Supremacy, 10 be null and reid, denoun-
cling thePriests who obey the laws OF the coun-
tries in which they live, instead of the instruc-
tions forwarded them from Rome. Here we
have the essence of Political Romanism. The
plea of this Jesuit Policy, is, that the Church,
OF which the Pope is the head, is superior TO
all other authority Earth, and that every true
Catholic owes and must acknowledge supreme
allegiance to Rome-nay, that when the Pope
commands, he must resist the Law of the coun-
try of which he is citizen, and at al times,
under all circumstances, obey Instructions FOR
wARDED FROM ROME!

THE LATEST FRAUD.-We Informed our rea-
ders months ago, that Mr.. Strickler, a Demo-
cratic Collector of Tolls on the State Railroad,
was defaulter 10 the amount of $50, 600. He
took it to speculate with, in conjunction with
John NJ. Bickel, late Democratic State Trea-
$4,000 when reappointed by the Democratic
Canal Board, and Bickel knew it. His bail
paid $4,000 of the S55 900, and now the Dem
ocratic House of Representatives have passed
a law releasing his bail from the payment of
S35. .000-the balance. The taxpayers will see
how the Democracy are paying off the State
debt! This is robber Democracy, ard it will
always be so until the Public Works are sold.

Posr OFFICE ORDERs.-It has been recently
stated that the British system of sending mon
ey orders has carried the equivalent of S50,-
coo, 900 from place to place by mail, without
the loss of more than $500, while our system
of 'sregistering" letters is so notoriously inet-
ficient that all well informed persons now pre-
fer not to register them, as the act does not
make the department responsible, but only
serves to point out the money letters to thieves.
In England no sums greater than &l0 can be
sent by Post Office orders, but in Canada as
large sums as f25 can be sent, and under both
conditions the plan is believed to have proved
itself perfectly successful. The charge for
each order is thrcepence or sixpence. and if
larger sums than the limit prescribed are to be
sent, it is only necessary TO purchase two or
more orders. 1t should be introduced here.

Last Friday, whilst Sheriff Reed and one of
bis sons were in one of the prisoners rooms
in our county Jail. the latter discovered in
hole, three keys, made of wood, so perfectly
shaped that they would open several of the
locks. Upon further examination it was also
discovered that the heads had been sawed off
of some of the lock rivets, and one or two bars
sawed through. The keys were evidently
made ont of the Jail, and il is generally be-
lieved that the horse-stealng, counterfeiting
and thieving scOandrels who prowing over
the country, have accomplices in the neigh
means for effecting their escape from the pris-
ons in which they may chance to be confined.
We trust that measures will be adopted for de-
tecting them and bringing them to justice.

THE TARIFF.-As usual, the important bills
of the session were rushed through both Hou-
ses of Congress during the last day. when all
was uproar and confusion. Among those pas
sed is new Tariff bill providing for consid
cradle reduction of duties. Iron, sugar, lead
and wooden manufactures reduced to 24
per cent instead of 40 as now. Cotton goods
are reduced from 2f to 10 per cent. Wool
costing under 20 cents is free over that, "a
per cent. Wines and liqours will pay "a per
cent.,-blankets Is. Linen fabrics of all des-
cripti0ns, 10. Dye-stuffs, spices, and long
list of articles of less importance, which have
heretofore paid from 10 to 80 per cent, are
added to the free list. These are the main
features of the bill. 1t will fall most severely
upon the iron and woolen manufacturers.
