To Our Subscribers.

We return our thanks to those Of our
subscribers who have been prompt in pay
ing up their subscriptions. THERE'S nothing
that cheers Editors on in the hard path Of
duty aud right in this fallen and wicked
world, as prompt pay on the part of sub
scribers. They feel that their services are
appreciated by their readers And We
will take this occasion to remark to those
in arrears, that we are now engaged in
reviewing our subscription list, for the first
time in ten years. We will send bills to
all those who are in arrears, in the course
of the ensuing two weeks-and those who
do not respond to our call, and particularly
those who are in arrears over two years,
either by sending us the money or giving
US some good reasons why the demand is
not honored, they must not complain if VIC
place them on list, for further use, which
we are preparing. These times affect the
newspapers, quite as much as other branch.
cs of business. Our Paper bills and labor
are all cash-and the amounts due by each
being small, and scattered, as our subscri'
bers arc, all over the country, it is impos-
sible for us to collect these sums without
incurring expenses, equal to tho value oI
the bills-and therefore we have to depend
in a great measure on the honor Of those
indebted 10 us. There may be some
instances in which there is inability 10 pay
us. We hope such will inform us at once
as we do not desire to coerce or enforce any
who have been unfortunate, and really
have not the means to pay, even so small
o sum.

live together. From the evidence it ap-
pears that you lived together happily
she was the mother Of your children. 1t
was an evil home for you, when forgetting
your duty to hcr-your duty TO your God
and to your country, you administered to
her deadly poison that soon terminated
her life. She did not suspect that when
you were in her sick room, and stood by
her, day after day, apparently anxious for
her recovery, that the cup you presented
to her contained deadly potion, and that
you were seeking to destroy her life. She
did not suspect that the agonies she was
suffering and the pains she was enduring,
were caused by you. Oh, it was q deed of
the foulest kind, ovincing hardness OF
heart, that has scarcely parallel. Your
guilt, which is established by the verdict in
this case would in all probability not have
been detected, bad it not been for the
examination made by the Physicians after
her death. In her stomach was found the
evidence of the cause of her death.
During the brief period that may elapse
between .his and the time when the SEN
tonce of the law may be executed, the
Court would most solemnly and earnestly
urge upon you, the duty of cndeavoring to
prepare to meet Judge from whose dread
sentence there is no appeal, from whose eye
no one can escape, and who is able, with
unorring certainty to distinguish between
The innocent and the guilty. Do not neg
loct this, with the hope, that the Executive
clcmency will spare you. The Court most
deeply sympathise with you, but our sym
pathies cannot preventive sentence of death,
On its execution. You have had the benefit
of fair trial-you have been defended !,
and ably defended, by your counsel, and
you have been condemned BY jury Of
your country. 1t remains for the Court to
pass upon you the sentence of the Law,
and that is, that
You, William John Clark, be takon
hence, to the place from whence you came,
within the jail of the county of Montour,
and from thence to the place of execution,
within the walls or yard Of the said jail,
and that you be there hanged by the neck
until you are dcad--And may God have
mercy upon your soul.
Exceptions have been fled by the De-
fence and an appeal will be brought before
the Supreme Court on the ground that
Judge Jordan has no jurisdiction, and al
so on the want of Formally in drawing the
Grand Jury.
The Trial of Mary Twiggs has been
postponed until May term, as no unbiased

Girard Life Insurance Company.

We arc not surprised that the operations
of this Company should have been so wide
ly extended. The inducements which are
offered to individuals, to effect insurances
on their lives, are such as We should think
would invite very many to avail themselves
of the advantages cffered. The rates Of
premium are low, and such as can be af-
forded by almost every person. To those
persons whose families are entirely depen-
dent upon them for support, and whose
decease would necessarily bring with it
destitution, the propriety of securing some-
thing to provide against such contiDgen.
cy is too obvious to require to be enforced.
There are but few incomes, however limi.
ted, that will not admit of a slight abstrac-
tion for the purpose Of premium; and
the man who, in this way, secures his wife
and children from the prospect of immcdi-
ate want when they shall be deprived oI
his services, acquires for himself satisfac.
ton which under ordinary circumstances,
he could not enjoy. A few dollars saved
from some useless expenditure, and applied
to the purpose we have mentioned, may
prevent much distress, and alleviate much
suffering.-Saiurday Mes.

A Panacea for tho Panic.

Few suggest remedy. If one is feasible
that may be recommended, it takes an age
of suspense to render it practicable. In
this emergency We have suggestion to
cfcr which we regard as wiser and more
available than many chat meet US on all
sides, and which is attended with far less
risk than many of the commercial and f..
nancial speculations of the day. We allude
to the opportunities which are afforded by
the lotteries of S. Swan g. Co., which are
drawn every Saturday, at Augusta, Ga,
and which hold out the splendid opportu-
nifty Of realizing for triding investment
of SO, SIS or $2aa, the whole, half or quar-
ter of the capital prize issued from the
failing mint OF the above reliable
firm.

GOLD PENs.-If any of our readers wish
to have gold pen, one that will make
them feel like writing as soon as they get

purchase of Beckett & Co, 335 Broadway,

for some time, and would not like to dc

handles, which arc the more easily kept
clean. Beckett & Co, are the publisher;
of the Golden Prize; which offers great,
inducements in the way of prizes, to sub
scribers. See advertisement, in another

The North Western Counties.

We find the following item in the Ve-
n7ago Spectator, with reference to the
Democratic continent in the Northwest
ern counties of this State. The Specta-
tor says "The Democrats of Warren
endorsed the Administration at a meeting
held last week. The northwestern coun-
ties are now unit. This is what we
expected. 1t is the height of presump-
ton to suppose for moment that the
Democratic party will turn its back upon
the Administration, and thereby play into
the hands of the opposition"

How they were Converted.

The conversion of Messrs. Douglas,
Wise and Walker, three Democratic cam
didates for the Presidency, from fellow

owing to their perusal of the 18th chap
ter OF Psalms, 5th and 9th verses:
"Lilt not up your horn on high speak
not with a stiff neck.
"For promotion cometh neither from the
East, nor from the WeSt, nor from the

The Tonnage Duty on Freight Passing
over the Pennsylvania Railroad.

over the Pennsylvania Railroad. |
'sTo the Honorable the Senate and House |
of Representative ofthe Commonwealth
OF Pennsylvania =
The memorial of the undersigned, the
constituted authorities of the city of Phil
adelphia, respectfully represents that trade
and commerce among the States of the
Union, in order to be prosperous, must
be free, and that its freedom may be as
cllectually impaired by duty on the
tonnage passing from one State to anoth-
er as by any other means. This is espe-
cially true at time when cheapncss of
transit, under the fierce rivalry of conl-
peting routes is controlling the selection
of avenues 20 our eastern markets, ,abd in
creasing the tonnage upon those lines
over which it is CARRIED at the least cost.
In view Of this fact, it is obvious that
to preserve and enlarge the business of
Pennsylvania improvements, the price of
transportation must be reduced to the
minimum of charge on all competing
routes beyond our borders. To effect
this end, the cost of transporting to the
parties who do the carrying must first be
diminished, before it can be chcapcned
to the shippers of freight. Hence all
taxes leveled by a State upon its high
ways, for revenue or otherwise, decrease
their tonnage by increasing the expense
of conveyance, and therefore wise public
policy requires that all such burdens
should be removed.
There seem to be much sense and rea-
son in the position taken by the memo
rialists, and the case is very ably argued
by the Committee to whom the subject
had been given in charge. They proceed
to show by facts and figures that there is
no rivalry between the Pennsylvania
Rail Road and the Canal and that the
building of the road actually increased
the business of the canal. The position
is unquestionably correct. Business
breeds business, and trade will follow in
that channel where there is fair field,
and no invidious discrimination. We
see no reason therefore why the tonnage
duty should not be taken of; and the trade
made free rs possible the increase will
more than make up the difference, and
the Improvements and business of the
state, and consequently her wealth and
prosperity be aided. The cheaper freight
and travel can be carried through our
State the more of il will take this direc-
ton. The more trade is increased by
these means, the greater the general pros
perity and the higher the value of prop.
erty in the State, consequently the better
able it is TO bear higher rates of taxation
without expressing property owners. If
the policy of taxing the Pennsylvania
Railroad on its business, besides the 9TH
er taxes which it has to pay, is good
one it is also good for other railroads,
and what Legislature could think of in.
creasing the general prosperity of the
State by taxing all the improvements
which have been built to bring trade to
it! The question is one which every
citizen is interested in deciding correctly.
