" ADVISE Aii Our io7eSiS W
future reference, President Buchanans
Annual Message for 1858. As far a'
we observe, more Republican papers
publish the document, than Democratic
papers. The reason is obvious: the op-
position wish Buchanan TO show, by bis
own words, that he is just the one sided,
pro slavery, sectional character they pre-
dicted he would be.

The Message clincbes the truths OF the
Srcech. Preserve them both.
The Bill in Equity filed BY Elisha C.
Marsh, in the Court of Union Co., vas
decided in favor of Gedies Marsh Il Co.
by the Supreme Court.
/ The suit between North Chase 4 North
Of Philadelphia, and Charles II. Shr'ner'
was recently decided by the Supreme
Court in favor Of Mr. Shriner.
WM. MOVER, of Freeburg, was elected
Deputy Surveyor for Snyder county, but
Gov. Packer refused TO commission him,
for the reason that this was not the "third
year" for the election although his prede'
cessor and opponent HENRY Morz, was
elected three years before and enjoyed tho
Office three years. The Judges, however,
very properly appointed Mr.. Meyer to the
Office, until the election Of 1859.
Report Of the Auditor General.
The Harrisburg Union says: We are
indebted TO the Auditor General and the
very efficient Chief Clerk in his depart
ment, VIM. @ Wallace, Esq, for the
statement Of the receipts and c1pend'-
lures at the Treasury, for the last fiscal
wear. 1t presents the gratifying fact that
a balance Of over eight hundred thousand
dollars remained iD the Treasury, and that

is good deal of talk about the Demo
cratic leaders being alarmed at the excite
mcut which their blow at the Anti-Le-
conyton Democrats his caused. Such
talk is absurd. The blow has been given
deliberately, and will no, be smoothed
over. The prescription Of Douglas would
have been consummated in open Senate
to-day, but it is required that the Com
mittces be announced on the second Mon
day of December.
Tie States dcclares that the act will
have the most disastrous effect upon the
Democratic part, will revive an extinct
issue; will encourage Black Republicanism,
and give it renewed assurance of triumph
over the disorganizcd Democracy.
The Republican Senators held caucus
to-day to consider the question of Com
mittees. 1t was decided to vote against
the unfair arrangements Of Committees
proposed by the Democrats. They were
unanimously opposed to backing Douglas
in his fight with his own party.
His abuse of the Republicans during
the canvass, and his attempt in his South
ern speeches TO conciliate the Firc-eaters,
has materially weakened his position. The
leading Ant-Lecompton Democrats, in
Congress, openly complain Of his conduct,
They think that he talks too much about
the organization Of the party.
