sPOOR WHITE TRASH AND RICH
NEGROES.

The New York Tribune, the Acknowledged
organ Of the Black Republicans, in a late article
on the revolution in Hayti, makes the following
infamous and disgraceful comparison
!" A considerable part Of the white poPula-
lion (of Hayti at the time of the abolition OF
slavery in that country were petit 6tancs,
50 called, little whites, the same with the
POOR WHITE TRASH ofour Southern States,
without education, or property. but exceedingly
tenacious. like OUR POOR WHITE TRASH
NORTH and South, Of distinction which
tna5led them 10 take rank Of the most ac-
comp'iSt.rd and wealthy MEN OF COLOR -
Here this Black Republican oracle intimates
that he p7or white people Of our country and
the "litile whites Of Hagti, occupy the same
position in the scale of society, and declares that
the former were enabled $40 take rank of the
most accomplished and wealthy men Of color, .
thus placing our poor white population on a
level with the negro What will the intel!i-
gent American laborer say 10 this Shall such
degrading insult to class that forms The bone
and sinew of our land, 90 unrebuked The
.'poor white lrash.'' forsoolh Let the poor
man remember this stigma that Black Re-
publican ar,stocIacy fixes upon his name. Let
him remember il aud let him resolve TO wipe
out Of existence the party that dlres thus 10
dshonor him.

The Banks In PENNSYLVANIA.

ln The Audiior-G Generals report recently
made to the Legislature, presenting STALE
meut of the condition Of the Banks Of this
Commonwealth during the last year, there are
one or two points worthy Of notice.
/. The amount the Banks owed. their stock
holders, depositors and credito's, fin November
last, was S72 ,095, ,s64 30.
2. The amount OF gold and silver at that
time, in all the Banks, was 5Ii,42o,547 74.-
That amount is money, but the balance is m ere
IL credit, viz 500, 0,675,2 ,2l6 50.
Ifthey are not asked 10 pay this large a
mount they eau get along quite swimmingly,
but if some ''Trust Company" should fail, or
some sudden demand arise for coin, their cond-
tion, and that of the community, would be
de 1lorable indeed.
Most people seem to forget that The Banks
are bound to pay all their liabilities in specie.
There is a popular error on this subject, namely,
itl4s considered that Bank is in good condi-
ton If its specie equals or is nearly equal to its
notes. Whereas ii is bonnd 10 pay lis deposits,
aud other liabilities, IN specie on demand, as
weIl as IFS notes.
Another popular error prevails on the subject
Of deposits they are supposed to@be money
placed in the banks for safe keeping whereas,
they consist mainly Of promissory notes, dis
counted BY the banks and, instead Of being
| money, are only credits.
Il is a singular remedy-alihough not a
move! nor an original one-that is proposed in
certain quarters, namely 10 use State stocks,
which are nothing bat credits, to increase the
security Of banks, hen at present they stand
in the proportion OF segsnfy-taco Of credits ta
eleUsn Of specie A remedy 10 increase the
disease is a htlle different from that Of the
quack doctor, who gave bis patient medicine
to produce fits, because he was great on fits /;
bat the practice would be equally good in
either case.
Why cannot some wholesome measures be
adopted As, for example, the establishment
of Constitutional State Treasury /; the prohi-
bition of notes under twenty dollars the au-
Identification OF the issu- and circulation of GER
tiicatrs of the deposits ol gold. Some meas
ures like lhese might prevent the evil conse-
quences Of our system of banking, and give the
people sound currency. PenasylUaaiaa.

ANOTHER FIRE

On Saturday night last, at about nine O'Clock,
the Stable oI Ma. JosEru CLAAR, in the IVES
tern part OF oar town, was discovered TO be on
FIRE A considerable quantity OF straw and
other Gombustible matter having oeen slowed
away in the building, the devouring element
made short work oft. Tins is the third stable.
that has been destroyed by FIRE in this place and
vicinity, within the last few months What
IS singular about this sta5le-bnfnlng, is the fact
that it has thus far occurred at or near the same
points at which former fires Of similar kind
took place. This would seem 10 Indicate that
these ii-iated spots are the haunts of suspicious
characters, who probably bivouac there o nights,
and b. Sareiessness, accident, or design, sci fire
10 their lodgings. Our borough fathers should

THE AIM OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

"There is no middle ground, says Giddings;
"the Republican party must be one. thing or
the olher-radical Abolition or nothing. Il
must plant Itself on the old and despised Aboli-
ton platform, or abandon its organization as a
party. An active, hostile interference with
the institutions Of thu Southern States is impera-
tire on the paIl Of the Republican party, or its
organization cannot be maintained, We must
take and maintain positius Ant-Slavery ground.
The Republican party must come upon my old
Abolition platform, and wage an uncompromi-
sing war upon the South-if disunion be the
result, all right"
Such in effect is the language nf Gidiings,
whom a majority of ihe present Republican
party, while they &C led as Wings, ridcued and
opposed. -GiddiHgs tells them the truth when
he saws they must take their stand on the old
true blue Abolition platform. That is precisely
what they have got TO come ,o-and most OF
them are already there.
No one who has watched the progress Of the
Anli-SlaveFy movement IN our country, vii!
question the correctness Of Mr.. Giddng's propo-
sition. The Republican party must Goat on the
Uare nE.L-l-ii4>a avcilcInanl St1l1t'a rise ne
more. In time Of comparative quiet It may
exist, and cajoIe the people with the idea that
1t means 10 act within the scope and limits Of
the Constitution, but when the final struggle
comes, the old banner Of dIsunion and higher
law will be raised, and the real purposes OF the
organization be pIaaly revealed. That purpose
is TO override the Constitution by means of po-
iticaI power obtained in sectional issue, and
! thus virtually dissolve the Union, Or compel
the people Of one portion Of il TO accept such
terms as the victors shall be willing to extend.
Senator SewarI's Rochester manifesto means
simply this and as that has been endorsed BY
the Republican party, thfy are bound by IT'S
doctrines PeaASyiUanjan.

The Territorial Governments Of Arizona

WAsnlNG TON, Jan. 28.--The bills establish
ing Territorial governments for Arizona, Daco-
ah and Jefferson, were to-day introduced bv
Mr. Stephens, in the House, on his own notice.
They are not, therefore, reports from the
Committee on Territories, though exactly
simiiarto those agreed on by the Committee.
excepting the name Of the Platte River country.
which is in Mr.. Stephens bill called Jefferson.
Jefferson will run from the one hundred and
FIRST degree 70 the Rocky Mountains, and from tie
foriy-third degree to the New Mexican line.
The object OF introducing the bills in this way
was 10 have them rinted, SO that when the
Committee on Territories is reached in tire call,
The bills then reported can be put on their pas
sage, the House in the meantime, having an
opportunity 10 read them.

BEDFORD RAILROAD.

From what we can learn concerning the
aboye-named project, we may safely predict
that ii will prove entirely successful. There is
hardly doubt bat that the 'iron steed' about
whose laundering tramp and rearing snort we
read SO much, will before many years come
rushing into old Bedford with all the rattle and
clangor Of his noisy hoofs What an era in the
history Of our county will it be, when the far
mer shall always have market at bis own
door; when real estate shall double lis yaIne.
and labor command corresponding wages
when stage-coaches shall be numbered among
the things that were, and The occupation" o.
six horse road-tears shall have '.gonc," like
otbelo's; when Broad Top coa' shall glow in
our CRATES at 6 cents a bushel, aed hickory
shall be used for nought but liberty poles, axe
handles and split-brooms; when, in short, we
shall be connected by railroad with the great
cities and commercial marts Of this great coun-
Try But a truce TO speculation; there should
be- none Of that, now, for, doubtless, contrac-
tors and sub-contractors will show us enougl,
Of it before The Bedford Railroad shall be finish
ed. We will only add that there is still room
on the subscription books Of the company for
few more names, and that all Interested in the
making of The road, should once more give it
"shove," either by subscribing additionally,
themselves, or by inducing others 10 do 50.

A MOURNING DoG.-The Boston Transcript
says police officer pointed out rare instance
Of canine affection to-day. A;handsome Scotch
terrier has for two or three weeks past watched
beside grave in Kings Chapel burying
ground, night and day without cessation, save
only occasional intervals of short duration,
when obliged to absent himself in quest of food
to prevent actual starvation. During The last
severe snow storm the humane officer first
discovered the dog at his devoted duty, and
endeavored to call him away for the puI pose of
giving him shelter but the faithful animal
would not leave the sacred spot, and responded
o4ly in wailing deeper and more melancholy
than those of the storm. Even the subsequent
intense cold weather, with the thermometer at
| 5 degrees below zero, did not drive him from
his guard, and he may still be seen daily at his
post Of watchfulness over The remains of some
beloved human being whom he has enshrIned
in his affections. The sleepless interest
manifested by this poor brute would seem 70
indicate that he cherishes some idea of literal
resurrection of his friend, and that he must be
constantly watching for bis coming.

TnE BoARD or CBNat. COMMISSIONERS. - After
a bin had been carefully matnred providing for
the abolition Of The Board OF Canal Commission
ers on the 10th of February next, the Senate,
upon information which imperallvely dcnlan-
ded prompt action, concluded that the safest
course was 10 pnt an immediate period 10 the
duration ofthe Board by aboIishing il without a
moments delay. As stated on the floor of the
Senate, this action was demanded By the abase
OF the last hours of power on the part OF the
majority of the Board, in disnttFfing and
allowing claims long since rejected as meritless.
The Canal Board has received much unmerited
abnse from the Opposition, and now that il is a.
bout being abolished, they give II a parting
kick, as If IFS errors and faults were their spe-
ciaI aversion. This spi:it renders necessary
the observation that The allowanceIol the claims,
alleged TO be rotten, followed close upon the
heels Of the entrance Of an Opposition member
into the Board, who has been landed III all the
Opposition prints, both before and since the
election, as just the man 10 put an end TO The
corrupt practices Of the Canal Board We
know nothing positively Of The merits or demer-
ifs of the CLAIMS allowed, but while Judge
Strickland [aud Mr.. Plumer were both members
of the Board, these claims could not receive
their sanction Harrisburg Patriot.

HUNTINGDON, PA.-On the l7th inst. Elias
B. Wilson, Esq, summoned jury, and procse-
drd 10 hold an inquest over the remains Of a
man found on Terrace Mountain, some time
since. After a careful investigation, the Jury
returned verdict Of death by violence, by
some person or persons unknown to them
The skull gave evidence Of violence, as il was
fractured in several places. The mans name
is supposed to have been DR.. Mayer. who left
Woodbury., Bedford county, about the last of
May, Or ISt Of June, 1856, 70 90 to Philadel-
pba, since which time he has not been beard
of, nor has been known 10 have reached that
place. He was a German by birth, and is
supposed to have been Jew, from he fact that
he had two straps about him, which are worn
by the lsIaelites, in commemoraton of their
deIiverance from bondage. There was also
found with the remains, a small hand trunk,
which contained one glass inksand one taper
match box, one tin match box, the clasp or
frame of pormonnaie, the frame OF a cigar
case, and wooden box filed with matches,
which the jury believe to have been the property
Of the deceased. They ale also Of opinion, from
the appearance Of the deceased that he had
been lying there from four to seven years.

TRIE TO THEIR PROMISES.

The fourteen Democrats in Congress from
this State, have nobIy redeemed the pledges
made by themselves and their friends in regard
10 The revision of the Tariff. Our own mem
Der, Hox Wilson REILLY, has used his best
exertions, in behalf Of the interests Of Penn
sylvania, and his Democratic colleague, Mr..
PHrLLlrs, has framed a Tariff bill which, if
passed, would certainly prove satisfactory to
all classes Of our citizens. The paramount
object of Ma PHiLLlPs, bill, is revenue, but it
also aims TO give incidental protection TO such
OF our industrial interests as are thought to
ieluire IT, This bill is all that the iron men
can ask, whilst at the same time it is framed
with that special Democratic regard for the
welfare Of the masses, which should always be
so lightly esteemed by The extreme protection
isis. Every Democratic Congressman from this
State will vote for il, aHd il The Opposition are
really desirous Of higher tariff than the one in
force at present, they can attain the Object OF
their wishes By doing 50 likewise. The Penn
sylgaaa Democrats have redeemed their
promises concerning the tariff, will the Black
Republicans and Know Nothngs redeem theirs ?
