The Richmond south and the

Tue Richmond Souta, ia speaking of The
late election ia Pennsylvania, INDUCES in a
strain Of exultation and insult that must be
especially gratifying to the old line Wigs
who voted for Buchanan and assisted in put
ting tie Locofocos ID possession of our State
government.
In speaking Of the parties opposed to them
Il says: "Jouah's gourd is a type Of them
all-soon ripe, soon rotteh. The political
principles of the old Wing party were false
aud vicious, but they constituted complete
system, and hence, although Inflicted with
the inevitable weakness of error, they hold
their ground for twenty years" Before
elections these organs and mouth pieces Of
Locolocoism wed with each other in doing
homage to the old Wing party, in lauding
lis purity and patriotism, and in invoking
tAe spirit Of the immortal CLAY to guide
them into the ranks of the Locofcco party
Now the elections are over and they have
used the Wings to accomplish their own par
poses, all DISCUSSES are thrown aside, and
they are openly informed in what light they
are regarded by their new made political
associates. The crime ofingratituds is there
fore added to the list of principles that gov
ern this party, and no political opponent need
ever expect any measure Of justice at their
hands, Or reward for service rendered, unless
it be for some party assistance without which
they never could grasp the spoils Of Office,

The Cost Of the Extra Session,

We observe that some of our contempo-
raries labor under the mistake that the
State has been subjected to heavy expense
for the late extra session Of the Legislature.
This is not the case. The State has ac-
tually made some $4,000 by the opera
tion, which the banks are obliged to pay,
over and above the expense incurred. BY
apyovisicn in the Relief Bill the banks will
have to pay a tax of one-fourth of one per
cent, on their capital stock, on or before
the first day of January next, in addition to
the taxes now paid by them. This will
bring in some S62 900, whilst the expen-
ses of the Legislature have been only about
$4,000. The State will thus make the
balance clear profit. So after all, in a Pc
cuuiary point of view, the Extra Session
has not been a bad operation Harrisburg

A LOVERS TRAGEBY.-Th quiet little
town of Hallowcil was agitated on Monday
of last week By tragedy of uncommon in
terest. Mr.. RYant of Pennington had been
paying his addresses to young lacy WHO
worked in the factory at Hallowell. She
had recently declined receiving any far ther
attentions from him, and had requested tia
her letters should be returned to her. On
Monday Ryaat visited the factory, called
tho young lady out, and paoceeded with her
to boarding house, where an interview
took place. % leaving the room, Ryant
requested her to pass cut ahead of him,
which she did, and Immediately heard tho
snap Of percussion cap. Looking round,
she observed pistol in Ryaat's hand d.
rected at her. She immediately rushed to-
ward tim for the purpose of seizing it, when
he turned it toward himself and fred. He
Immediately fell dead, having received two
balls in bis head, The escape of the young
AdY is remarkable one. Ryant had pro-
Tided himself with double barreled pistol,
aud, as he supposed, had loaded both bar
rels with bail; but, instead of thar, he Put
bofs balls into one buTst, and the barrel be
nred at the young lady was the one that

How President BUCHANAN RECEIVES
THE LADIEs.-A Washington correspondent
Of The South says
"bIr. Buchanan still continues 10 have
hosts of lady visitors, and scarcely pretty
woman comes to Washington, bu; she must
see the bachelor President. His manners
toward his fair visitors show that he is no
'lady's man. his graceful commonplace
seens to fail him with them and have
seen him evidently sorely taxed to find a
few words to say to the danes who will find
their way to bis reception room. He issaid
to have been commpelled to have recourse
to two stereotyped phrases, which ne inVari-
ably addresses by turn to the ladies', as he
runs the gauntlet Of them at reception hours.
These: Madam, is this your first visit to
Washington!' Answer. a pause, and then
MADAM, l would advise you to visit the
Smithsonion Institute After which the la
dy is expected to vamose.

To TIE Editors of tie Nat. Lateltigencsr.
An old subscriber TO your paper fully
agrees with you in your opinions on the ex-
pedieney and necessity of i Bank of the
United States, and is utterly OPP os0d to the
State Bank system. 1t has always been diff
icult for me to reconcile 5he inconsistency
of that class of politicians who hold that the
State Bank system is constitutional, and
that United States Bank is unconstitu-
tional. 1t seems 10 me clear that the bills
for circulation of a State baak are 'bills of
credit within the meaning ard spirit of the
Federal Constitution, and at this time they
certainly are such to all intents and purpo>
ses; and though not issued by The State,
they are authorized by the State TO be is
sued; and no person or State can do indi-
rectly that which they cannot DO directly.
But, however this may be. there are many,
and among the number the writer includes
hr.self, who would rejoice to see the Wings
organized on their old time honored princi-
pies
l. A Uyited States Bank, as the safest
and only constitutional bank.
2. A protective tariff, to foster home in
dustry and sectUo commercial indepen-
denee.
8. A judicious and equal system of in
ternal improvements by the General Gov
ernment.
4. a distribution Of the proceeds of the
public lands among the several States, in
proportion to population.
5. A stern opposition to sectionalism,
and a rigid accountability of NIL public
agents and officers.
6. An economical administration Of the
General Government, and q liberal and
magnanimous foreign policy.

THE FAVDRITE LOW WAGES STAN
DARD OF MR.. BUCHANAN.

The Pres, the Pennsylvania, and other
hocofoco journals are republishing portions
Of Mr. Buihanan's celebrated Ten Cent a
Day Speech The Lebanon Courier sarcas-
ticslly remarks as follows:
''No ouewill deny thar we are fast com
ing down to that standard of prices which
has been tlr theoretical delight of Mr. Bn-
chanan andhis satellites. And the result
OF it is applreut to any rejecting mind

DEMOCRATIC FEARS.

Wessearcely take up '.Democraticn pa
per, now-a-days, that does not contain a
cading article deprecatory Of a re-organi-
cation Of the Wing party. Fer many reas-
ons, satisfactory 10 ttemseIUes, these patri-
OTIS contend that the cd Wing organization
should be allowed to sleep. They have
preached It's funeral sermons, they have
written its obituaries, they have inferred its
evil deeds with its bones, they have embaIm-
ed it with their praises, and they would now
have it rest in the cerements Of the grave
until the things of this world shall be no
more, aud the trump Of the arehaugel shall
summon the sleepers to arise The rpla cid
ity of their pleading for therepose OF their
old enemy is refreshing. Their sanctino-
NOUS appeals to allow it TO ''rest in IT'S glo-
ry," bear the odor Of blotherly affection,
and are as touching as the beautiful lines of
Morris wanting the "woodman' to 'spare
shat tree" Our veneration for the old Wig
party leads us almost to admire these mod
ern eulogists. At times we feel like clasp
ing them to our boaoms and pouring out a
torrent of thanks for their, at last, doing
justice TO party and to it's adhereots which
they DETAINED aud slandered for genera
tion. They certainly would deserve con-
sideration forever this tardy Justice Of theirs
were it not that there Is a serpent under
their wreath Of roses; and an adder's tongue
it is that bisses.out their honeyei words
Like the boa constructor, they have been
for two OF three years Shining over the Wing
party with their false praises that they
might swallow it entire; but new that there
are signs of a re-awakening, Of dispos;-
&lon to throw of the coils of the temptcr,
they begin to struggle with desperation, to
keep it in their grasp.
Why is it that democratic leaders depre-
cate Reorganization ofthe Wing party!
The reason is not hard to faihom. Thy
fear it. The principles of the Wing parry
are essential to re-esta5lishmant of the
country's prosperity. Tho people begin to
understand this; aud Democracy feels that il
the Wing standard is again unfurled to the
breeze. and the Wing bugle sounded, there
will be resurrection of old heroes and
recruiting of new soldiers in the patriotic
cause of the Whig party, that, will bear
them into the shades of retracy. 1t Is not
dsinterested impulse, therefore, that leads
Democrats to protest against fhe rcorgani-
cation.
On the question Of rc-estab.ishing the
Wing organization, We, at this time, have
htsle to say. But let that name be revived
or not, Wing principles are the principles to
re-esrablish and perPotuate the prosperity
of the country; and whether we battle for
those principles under the name Of Whigor
some other designation, battle for them we
shall, while we can WELD pen or cast q

Fellow Citizens:-ro reudcr tn Aimlgh-
ty God, who controls the destinies OF na-
tons aud men, the homage of deyout graft
tude and praise fer his goodness aud his
mercy, is the appropriate and solemn duty
Of free and highly favored people. Is
the giver OF every good and perfect gift we
should ever recognize His hand in our mer-
cies, and acknowledge our dependence upon
His providence; aud although adversely
may throw its dark shadow across our path
way, yet we should be assured of this s'the
Judge of all the earth will do right"
During the past year tbe bounties of
kind Providence have not been witheld from
our Commonwealth. Our free institutions
have been preserved, and our rights and
privileges, civil and religious, enjoyed and
maintained. The arts and sciences, aad the
great interests Of edueation, moralit1 and
religion, have claimed the attention AID re-
ceived the encouragement of all inteFligen;
aud liberal people Honorable industry in
its varied departments has been rewarded;
and although recent and severe financial re-
sulsion has filed with gloom, sorrow and
distress, the hearts aud homes Of many of
our citizens, yet no fear of famine, no dread
of impending public or social calamity, min
giles with our emotions of gratitude for past
blessings, or weakeus our trust for The tu-
ture, ia the providence Of Him who wopnds
but to heal, and ''whose mercy eadureth
forever" A pienteous harvest has crowned
the iabors Of the Observation-Disclosures with
its gentle and reforming influences, and un-
wonted health with its benefits and nlercics
have been vouchsafed to US.
In acknowledgement of these manifold
blessings,we shold offer unto God thanksgig-
ing and pay our vows unto the most High:
