Thus it will be seen that Mr.. Wilmot receiv-
ed the strongest possible endorsement of his
course from the democrats of Pennsylvania,
every democratic member in both Houses of
the legislature, excepting three, having voted
to sustain him. -
1t is worthy of note, also, that the legisla-
ture that winter was Wing in both branches /;
yet this resolution was introduced in one
branch by democrat and urged through in
the other by another.
David Wilmot, has occupied the same ground
ever since but the party which then endors-
ed him has falsely deserted the noble stand it
had took, apostatized from the faith of its
founders and shamelessly renounced all the
good which it did in its better days.

KANSAS.

A dispatch from St. Louis states that the
Free-State men of Kansas, through a commit
tee of the citizens of Lawrence, have made n
distinct proposition to Secretary Stanton for
the peaceful settlement of all the questions
which now trouble that embryo State. That
proposition is in substance as follows
"Two persons zone from each party), selec-
ted in each district, will correct the registry
list. and proceed together to register the legal
votes. The Probate Judges will then correct
the first list, and the appointments being
made according to these returns, four Judges
of elections, two OF each party, will be selected
for each precinct, and the names of three of
said judges will be required to the certificates
to cntitlc person to a seat in the Convention. .
This proposition, it is added, Secretary
Stanton has declined-of course because the
Pro-Slavery party, who have entire control of
the bogus census and registration, and who
mean to hold the election and count the votes
without check or scrutiny, will not consent to
abate one scruple of their sspound of fiesh.'
They have, at great expense of effort and wear
OF conscience, got their machinery all oiled for
making Kansas Slave State, and they will not
forego their advantage. a fair election would
prove their ruin, so they will none of it. And
the Federal Administration, which, for the
honor of human nature we must believe, would
gladly feel at liberty to take the side of JUS
tice in the premises, is constrained by its obli-
cations to the Slave Power TO back its minions
in Kansas in refusing the Frec-State men that
fair election SO often promised them and which
is all they ask.
The Free-State men of Kansas have now vim
dicated their motives and confounded the NAL
ice of their enemies. If anarchy and civil war
should ensue, History and Eternal Justice will
place the blame where it belongs. The issue
Is now SO clear that sophistry cannot confuse,
ana laisehood win in vain misstate it.-Trib.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

The unprecedented number of murders, rob
berries, &C., that are being daily committed,
often gives rise TO inquiry as to the causes
which lead to their commission. Evidently
there is a great lack of moral principle at the
bottom OF it ala disregard of the value Of
human life, and OF the dread penalty that lies
in the future; but we think that portion of
the Newspaper press is in some measure TO
blame. We refer to those journals that give
all the horrible and disgusting details, when
ever some incarnate fiend inyades the taberna-
Gle Of life, and destroys a fellow mortal-not
permitting the most trivial circumstance to
pass by unnoticed, but filling up whole pages
with their recital-and the public, with nat
ural proclivity towards viiiated taste, seizes
upon these details and dcvours them with a
rapacity that would put to blush q famished
catamount when he seizes an object Of prey.
We believe that constant indulgence in this
sort of reading can do nothing less than dull
the sensibilities and stupefy the moral feelings
of persons of mature years, and with the
young, whose minds may as yet have no fixed
cast, it must be infinitely more deleterious.
Every one knows with what ayidity boy will
peruse the adventures of Jack Shepherd" +"
"Sccnes in the Lives Of Murderers,'' and pub
locations of that sort, and yet, perhaps, few
reflect what influence these books may exert
upon his future life and actions and doubt
less reading the details of murders and robbie
ries and villanies of all kinds, with which too
many newspapers ale filed, tends not only to
generate taste in the minds of our youth for
such morbid trash, but is calculated to almost
entirely withdraw their attention from that
which is useful, beneficial and elevating. Not
long since we saw mention made Of case
showing the lamentable fruits of reading news
paper details of a murder. The dabolc act
had been conceived and carried out with an
unusual degree of cunning-the body of the
victim, female, buried beneath barn floor,
and all traces of the horrible deed obliterated.
A boy OF some ten years Of age, bright
little fellow at that, having heard the details
read by his father, conceived the terrible idea
of initiating the fendish act, and the account
stated that he really did kill q smaller sister,
and carried out the entire tragedy, even to the
removing of blood spots by means of acids,
as given in the journals OF the day. Other in
stances might be given, but this will suffice to
illustrate the perncious tendencies of this
sort of reading.

IHE New York Times says that on Wednes-
day night at the Opera, Col Fremont and ex-
President Fillmore sat side by side in front
seat, listening to Gazzaniga in 'Norma." ap-
parently entirely forgetful that there had been
a Presidential election last fall. If Mr.. Bu-
chanan could have looked in and seen how
perfectly satisfied and placid these two rivals
OF his appeared in their defeat, we are not
sure, but that he would have enyied them their
happy escape from the tolls and troubles OF
the White House

LATEST FROM HARRISBURG.
HARRISBURG, Monday, May 11th, /

HARRISBURG, Monday, May 1lth, 1857.
Mr.. EDIroR OF JOURNAL Dear Sir The
Senate, to-day, passed the bill for the sale of
the Main Line, with some amendments. The
House will no doubt concur in the amendments.
They have the bill under discussion this after
noon. i send you copy of the bill as it pass
cd the Senate.
The House amended the Apportionmcnt bill
in such a way that the Senate would not con-
cur, and the bill has been in the hands of a
committee of conference for some time this
committee have not yet been able to agree.
There arc few bills of Importance that will
occupy the time of the Senate for week or
more.
The Senate have not taken up the bill to
loan the credit of the Commonwealth to the
Sunbury and Erie Railroad yet, as they have
only to-day disposed of the bill for the sale of
the Main Line.
Private bills, in the passage of which your
readers are not much interested, mainly occu-
pied the attention OF the House, for the last
week, and the Senate have been discussing the
bill for the sale of theMain Line, so that not
much business of general interest has been
done by the Legislature.
Mrs. Cunninghom has been acquitted of the
murder of DR.. Burdell, by the jury sworn to
try her according to evidence. Who, then, is
the murderer3 y murder has been commit
ted. Alas, his Sodomi
/ see, at the present, no agitation of the sub
ject of the loose log question. Have the RATS
men managed their side of the question well ?
There quite stir about a week ago on
this subject, caused by the warlike manifesto
tions on Clearfeld creek.
The river has so fallen that it is in excellent
rafting order. Three RATS struck pier of the
bridge to-day.
1t is showing to-day at Buffalo, n. Y. The
clouds here have some appearance of snow,
but none has fallen.
must again express my decided approba-
tion of the manly, digniied, upright course Of
our ScEator, Nj. Souther. That Mr. Hamlin.
his predecessor, was one of the most worthy
members of the Senate, while a member of
that body, we must admit; but excellent as he
was, we have made a glorious exchange. AL
though neither of these men are from Clear
field county, yet Cealfield has reason to be
proud that her district is so well represented
Yours, truly, CUJUs.

A Book FROM Gov. GEARY.-The Chicago
Tribune has the following statement. we pre-
sumo the informant of that Journal is Gov.
German, of Minnesota 1--WE are told by a
Democrat of unquestioned faithfulness to his
party, himself Governor, that in late con-
versation with Gov. Geary, he learned that
that gentleman is preparing from his diary,
faithfully kept during his administration a
summary of events in Kansas, as they came
under his own personal or official observation
we are told by the same authority, that in
that book, when it is given to the country the
allegations of the Republican Journals in rela-
tion to the fendish atrocities practiccd upon
the Free State men, by their Border Ruffian
invaders, will be not only confirmed, but full
ly proved. 1t will be stated that. during a
trip on much frequented roads, soon after his
arrival in the territory, the Governor saw the
bodies of twenty-six murdered free State men
Some of these had been shot or brained and
thrown out by the roadside to rot under the
burning sun. Others had been scalped as In
dams scalp their victims. One was pinioped
to tree by bowie knife driven through his
heart into the solid wood at his back on his
breast was fastened written 5warning to all
other ''Abolitionists." Some were buried
just beneath the prairie sod, their hands and
arms left sticking out of the shallow holes into
which they had been thrown. Upon others
the nameless mutilation of private parts, which
characterize the ferocious joy of the Indian
In the moment of victory, had been commit
ted. In all cases, brutality seemed to have
exhausted itself in insulting what among all
civilized men, whether friend or foe, are look
ed upon with respect--the bodies of the dead -

THE BURDELL MURDER.-The trial of Mrs.
Cunningham for the murder of DR.. Burdell,
in New York, closed on last Saturday evening
at O'Clock, under much excitement. AT half
past the Jury returned verdict of ''Not
Gully" The verdict is said to give general
satisfaction. As soon as the verdict was rem
dered Mrs. Cunningham and her daughters,
Helen and Augusta, tainted. John J. Eckel
was admitted TO bail in the sum of $4,000 on
his own recOgnizance and liberated from pris-
on. He is to appear on the 18th, when it is
believed nole prosequi will be entered.-
Thus for the present ends this mysterious
murder.

RAILROAD RIors.-The employees on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have struck. in
consequence ofa circular issued from the office
OF the Master of Transportation, TO the effect
that thereafter, each and every car containing
merchandise to be transported over the road /.
should be delivered into the charge of the con-
ductors sealed, and a receipt taken for the
same. The issuing Of this order arose from
the fact that for long time the company has
been required to pay claims for goods lost in
transportation, and this plan has been in sue
cessinl operation on the New York Central
Railroad, and also upon a number of Western
roads. Attacks were made on the trains leay-
ing Baltimore and Martinsburg on Wednesday.
The trains subsequently sent out met with
various distractions, and fire arms were used
by both the military and rioters, resulting in
the death of few persons and wounding 9TH

1T is SAID that many fish have been killed
lately in the Sciota river, near Chilicothe, O.
hio, by the drainage from the whiskey distire-
ries. This did not formerly occur, and there
is nothing in the grain that should prove fatal
to the fish. 1t is no doubt the effect of strych-
nine, recently introduced into the manufac-
ture of whiskey. BY the of certain
quantity OF this poison, mixed with tobacco
juice, every bushel of grain is made to pro-
duce five gallons of whiskey, while with hon
est distillation the product is one-half that a.
mount, No wonder that whiskey is called
Ssrot-gut."

The TRIAL OF MckIM, at Hollidaysburg, for
the murder Of young Norcross, came finally to
close on last Thursday. All the testimony
went to show conclusively that McKim was the
perpetrator Of the murder, and is but con-
firmation of facts already known to the public.
At O'Clock on the day named, Judge Taylor,
in clear and able charge, submitted the case
to the jury, who after an absence of an hour
returned into Court with verdict Of guilfv Of
murder in The first degree. Afterwards, the
Judge passed sentence of death upon him, and
it now remains only for the Governor to sign
the deatb-warrant.
