: L arge Failure.

We are compelled to announce the sud,
den and complete failure of the firm of
WILMoT&C Co. Thepartners are WILMoT,
VEEcH, LEWIS & MiLwARD. They failed
to a very large amount-liabilities heavy
assets nothing. The cause of their failure
is said to be the sudden fall in the price of
"bleeding Kansas stock in which they
had been dealing heavily. This is their
second failure. No use of liquidatipg
because it is, estimated that they can't pay
one per cent. Of their liabilities. They
had succeeded by putting, in initiating their
stock to higher figure. A large number
Of people were induced to invest, and have
been ruined by their failure. '.'-

Pennsylvania appears to be growing strong
er than eserin the Democratic faith. She
stands before the world as sp irresistible
barrier to the aggressions Of both Northern
and Southern fanatics, Pennsylvania de-
clares for Packer and non.interrention
against Wilmot and Abolafionisns, by an
overwhelming andlunpreeedented majority.
Aye, DAVID WILMoT, the embodiment Of
the political antslavery sentiment, lies low
in the dust, and there are none so poor as
to do him reverence. The thirteenth day
Of October, s51, will be memorable through
all coming time as the epoch Of the down.

A PROCLAMATION.


Elllo,o. Citizens To render to AL.
mighty God, who controls the destinies Of
nations and jmen, the homage of devout
gratitude and praise for his goodness and
marcy, is the appropriate and solemn duty
of free and highly favored people. AS
the Giyer of every good and perfect gift
we should ever recognize His hand in our
mercies, and acknowledge our Dependence
upon His Providence; and although ad-
versity my throw its dark shadows across
our pathway, yet we should be assured of
this, that "tho Judge Of all the Earth will
do right" 'F .''"t
During the pas, year the bounties of
kind Providence have not been withheld
from our Commonwealth. Our free insi-
tutions have been preserved, and our ri ghts
and privileges, civil and religious, enjoyed
and maintained. The arts and sciences,
and the great interests of education, mo.
rality and religion, have claimed the atten-
ton and received the encouragement of an
intelligent and liberal people. Honorable
industry in its varied departments has been
rewarded and although recent and severe
financial revulsion has filed with gloom,
sorrow and distress, the hearts and homes
of many of our citizens, yet no fear of
famine, NO dread of impending public or
social calamity, miDgles with our emotions
of gratitude for past blessings, or weakens
our trust for the future, in the providence
of Him who wounds but to heal, and "whose
mercy endureth forever a plenteous
harvest has crowned the labor of the hus
bandman-peace with its gentle and re.
forming influences, and unwonted health
with its benefits and mercies, have been
vouchsafed to US. of 1gH .-i .a9Hw
In acknowledgment of these manifold
blessings, we should offer unto God hanks
giving and pay our vows unto the mos
High and call upon Him "in the day oi
trouble; He will deliver thee and thor
shalt glorify Him. .gnol
Under tho solemn conviction Of the pro
priety of this duty, and in conformity witt
established custom and the wishes of many
good citizens, 1, James Pollock, Governor
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, d.
hereby recommend THURSDAY, the zioenty
sixth day Of November neat, as day o
, general thanksgiving and praise throughou
this State, and earnestly request the peopl
that, abstaining from theirusual avocation
and all worldly pursuits, they assemble ol
that day according to their religious Gus
toms, and unite in Offering thanks y
3 Almighty God for his past goodness an'
mercies; and while humbly acknowledginy
o. our transgression, and imploring His for
# givcnoss, beseech Him, with sincere AM
earnest desire, to return and visit US agai
with His loving kindness, make us worth,
,, of His bounties, and continue to us the ric
blessings Of His providence and grace.

OFFICIAL DEsPoTIsM.-The reno
val Of Secretary Stanton and the ap-
pointment of Gen. Denver in his stead,
simply because the former called a
special session Of the Kansas Legisla-
lature, is signal stroke of despotism
on the part Of President Buchanan
What its effect will be remains to be
seen. Certain it is that the people of
Kansas will not tamely submit to the
indignity Of having the Lecompton
Constitution forced upon them. They
will rather declare civil war. They
have the almost unanimous sympathy
of the people Of the North in their
struggles against the attempt of the
Administration to enslave them.
