The New State Road,

The CommiSSI toner's. designated in the Act
of Assembly. to view and lay out this road,
have met, and performed their duties by run
ming a route, and returning a survey and
draft Of the same, 10 the Courts Of Union.
Centre, and Clinton counties, accompanied
with a report, allowing the road. This is an
enterprise of the highest Importance 10 the
citizens OF large portion of the aforesaid
counties, as 1t opens a direct and much Shor
ter communication from Lock Haven 10
Lewi>burg and Milton, passing through one
Of the finest lumber regions IN the STATE, and
al the same time afordlng the farmers Of Buf-
faloe valley convenient and easy access 10
every variety of building material at reduced
prices. This, to them, is of almost incalcu-
liable advantage, when we consider the enor-
nous prices at which lumber has been sell
Ius. II Will also ultimately lessen the burden
of taxation upon the whole community, IN
consequence of bringing into active use. and
enhancing the value and consequent rate of
asses Sment OF an extensive scope of country.
which, heretofore. has been rated and taxed
al a mere nominal value. II will not only
add TO the general wealth of the cunuiry, to
the amount of peThapS a hundred thousand
dollars or more, but viii contribute materially
10 It's industry, by giving active, profitable,
and constant employment to hundreds of
sturdy and enieTprISIng lumberman who will
break the solitude of this primeval forest
with the busy hum Of industry, and the sound
Of the >aW-mll.
The construction of this road has met with
opposition by some. who suppose that 1t will
be somewhat oppressive on a few districts.
This may IN part be Irue, but we must rcmem-
ber that no enterprise. however great or benc-
hcIal to the community al large it may be,
but operates with more apparent injury. at
first, upon some persons than others. The
same objection would apply to every road we
have IN the country; and II 1t be 4 valid rea-
son, and argument, against the construction
of roads, and they should not be granted on
that ground, Union county today would be a
wilderness, and the plowshare of civilization
would never have broken her virgin soil.
There is no doubt but those districts, which
consider themselves aGGrieved by this road,
will, in the end be vastly benefited, and amply
repaid. by The general good which ii will con-
fer upon our common country.
Too much praise can not be AWARDED 10 Mr..
John M'Call, who first conceived the idea Of
this benefccnt project. and to whose energy
and through whose iberality, the work thus
far has been accomplished, as well as 10 the
Board of Commissioners, who performed their
arduouS duties, in surveying and laying out
the road, with much dispaclh and accuracy.

WIDE AWAKE Last fall, the Repub-
licans of Wisconsin and Of Michigan were
so confident of their strength that they
did not do their full duty, and each lost a
Congressman by their neglect. This
Spring, they rallied and carried their Su-
preme Court Judge in Michigan by 5000,
and an Associate in Wisconsin by 5000
majority-proving that they have the
reliable power, if they will but be wise
and yigilant to exercise it.

sA-It is confidently predicted at the
West, that thousands of those on the
route for the Pixies Peak gold myth, are
intending there to organize for iIibus-

Mexican States, and conquer it, as recon-
mended by Pres. Buchanan. Lockridge
and his Arizona "emigrants" are to CO.
operate. Thus another Texas steal is to
be managed.

OF COURSE .-Nobody doubts the prac-
tice in the South of the foreign slavetrade,
which by the laws of the U. S. is declared
piracy. The crew Of the "Echo" were
tried in Charleston, S. c., this month, be-
fore Court and Jury, all of whom had
sworn to support the Constitution and
Laws of the U. S. No dct;nce ,ras at
tempted-thc case went to the Jury, and
though as plain as the sun at midday in
a cloudless sky, they were acqujted. Thus
is the law recklessly violated and the
odious, horrid, wicked slave-trafiic delib-
erately reinaugurated.

Good appointment by the Goyerpor.

A law was passed at the recent session
of the Legislature authorizing the appoint
msut of an additional Law Judge in the
county of Allegheny and Gov. Packer
has appointed JOHN W. MAYNARD, Esq,
of Williamsport, to ell the post. The
Governor has certainly been fortunate in
this appointment. Mr.. Maynard's quail
fcations for the position are pre- eminent,
as is acknowledged in all quarters.
s@-The trial of Sickles for the killing
of the dishonorer Of his wife, resulted, last
Tuesday afternoon, in verdict of "NOt
Guilty" the Jury having been out only
about one hour. The verdict was received
with outrageous applause, and Sickles re-
tired to the house next his former abode,
pale, tired, and thankful for his deliver
ance. The trial commenced on Monday
the 9th, and has excited large degree of
public attention, not only among the cor.
rupt fashionables of the Key and Sickles
school, but among the respectable popula-
tion generally. There is a general con.
viction that Sickles was not SO blinded
with rage that he did not know what be
was about, and it is certain he did not ex-
press, at first if ever, any remorsc for the
deed, which sent to the Judgment without
warning human being perhaps as good
as himself: but the degree of his excite.
ment was such, and such the detestation
Of the crime avenged, that jury which is
allowed to have been composed Of respect
able men, after trial aud under charge
not disputed as fair and legal, have ac.
quilted the manslaycr. The precedent SO
justified is doubtful and fearful one, but
those guilty OF the crime thus revcnged
will do well to beware.

nen-OIr last years County Convention
nominated Mcssrs Geo. W Chambers for
Senatorial, and James Wilson for Repre-
sentative, Delegates to the next State
Convention. Mr. Wilson having since
deceased, Union county has no nominee
for Rep. Delegate, and Snyder county
having recently by its committee nomiua-
ted Henry X. Ritter, Esq, if Juhiata nom
mates one this District will be fully rep
resented Centre is entitled to a Rep
Delegate, and Clinton and Lycoming to
two. Conceding Union county the Sena-
torial Delegate-as is advised by the vii
Transport Press-thcn each Of the SIX
counties Centre, Clinton, Lycoming,
Union, Snyder, and Juniata) could be re-
presented in the State Convention by an
Independent egate. We trust that this
arrangement ~ be acquiesced in, and
thus all needless expense, contest, and
possible difficulty avoided. la the busy
season just at hand, to call regular County
Conventions would be unsatisfactory, as
comparatively few would attend. The
Committees of those counties which have
not acted, will, however, exercise the
power confded to them as they deem ad.
visable, and We trust will agree upon the
easiest and most just plan to secure a full
and judicious representation.

Of July oration at Bridgeport, Conn.
Here is an extract
The American Eagle is a considera-
bic Of a bird--may she fly forever
but if every vagabond who can stuff
ballot boxes and swindle his way into
office is allowed to pluck a feather: il
the Bird Of Liberty is to be despoiled
by unpsincipled politicians if she is
to extend her wings over the slave
trade and piracy; if she is to protect
reputation and be made responsible
for all the crimes which CO ngressional,
and municipal bodies can
commit, she will be naked as a well
dressed turkey.
