''Treason planned to change the ruler, but not
10 destroy the government, has always been
treated rs less cupable than an attempt to change
the government"
What is the result of this logic? John Booth
planned to change the ruler, and George Wash
ington attempted to destroy the government
and, according to Mr.. Stevens theory, John
Booth was less cupabe than George Washing
ton.
Now the second premise cannot, we think be
denied, and 10y all the rules Of good ''common
sense " if the conclusion is false the error must
lie in the first premise; so we think we may
safely set down this proposition Of Mr., Stevens
as tase at least from an American point of view.
Bat suppose it were true, in what position does
it pl Ce Mr. Stevens and his party? Convicted
OF the worst treason by their own showing
"TrehSun must be made odous" and We think
we may confidently rely u. on Mr.. Stevens, Gen.
Butler, and their confrees to, bring about this
consummation so devoutly to be wished and
whenever traitors receive their deserts, Mr.. Ste
vens 'small remnant of life" will afford very

The County Assessment.

We give this week n statement Of the late as
sessment in this county. We are unable TO give
the number Of farms in the county, or the num-
Der of acres of land. In many parts fthe coun-
ty very large tracts ofland, which must embrace
many FARMS are assessed to single individual
AS in the first or Abingdon district, we find
assessed to General George Cadwalader 5000
acres, and to William r. PaEuell $500 acres !;
and in the fourth or MarshalTs district, and
Dublin the fifth district together, there is as
sessed to Evans S. Rogers 5000 acres. Besides
these there are many other very large land owners
in the county to whom the land has been assess
ed in the bulk, thereby leaving no means of ar
irving at the exact number of farms. There are
in the county 3,8ll taxable names. We use
this expression because there is a considerable
amount OF property taxed to companies and cor
porations as we'll as to the heirs of deceased per-
sors, so that the taxable names fall far short of
the number of the taxable inhabitants of the
county. There are in the county 1854 names
who pay taxes on real estate, and S57 names
who pay taxes on personal property only.
1t will be observed from the figures below that
working tools-which we suppose includes all
farming implements and machinery--and car
riages are placed together in one column, and
that the value of the produce of farms on hand at
the time the assessment was made cannot be re-
lied upon as strictly accurate, MS there is no re-
turn from the Fourth district, ard as it appears
to us next to impossible for the assessors to have
collected any very reliable information in regard
to the other districts in the time allowed them to
complete the assessment. They had no means Of
weighing or measuring, and therefore were COM
PEELED to estimate il as best they could.
The assessed value of the lands and buildings
Of the county is put at 50, H. 2S5, and all other
property at $4iO59,632 making the whole assess
able property amount to Sl3, 23l ,9l7.
The following table shows the number of tax
able names, and the value of the various kinds OF
property in the several election districts, for a
great part of the figures of which we are indcbt-
ed to the kindness aud courtesy OF John I. Sp-
Ger, Esq, Clerk to the Board County Commits

DR.. sCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS!
A Substitute for Calomel.

T'HESE Pills are composed OF various roots
/ having the power to relax the secretions of
the liver as promptly and etftctualy as blue pill
or mercury, and without producing any of those
disagreeabe or dangerous effects which often fol
low the use of the latter.
In all bilious disorders these Pills may be used
with confidence, as they promote the discharge
OF vitlated bile, and remove those distractions
from the liver and hillary ducts, which are the
Cause of bilious affections in general.
SCliENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS cure Sick
Headache, and all disorders OF the Liver, indica-
ted by sallow skin, coated tongue, costiveness,
drow slness, and general feeling of WEAKNESS
and lasstude, showing that the liver is in tor
pd or INSTRUCTED condition.
in short, these Pills may be used with advan-
tage in all cases when purgauve or alternative
medicine is required.

THE CONVENTION. call which has been
made for District Meetings at the several pla ,es
of holding the polls in each District, on Tnes-
day, the I'd of April, was designed to include
not only those favorable to a Constitutional
Convention, but all concerned, az every Demo-
crat and Conservative citizen is and ought to be-
in the representation in such Convention, should
it meet. We trust, therefore, that our friends
will adopt and act upon this call. The notice
was necessarily hurried, but the importance of
the subject is sufficient to justify US in waving
mere matters of form, and all other considerations
which stand in the way of the welfare of the
people and the permauency of our institutions.

A vast deal is reported about the insecurity of
the Susquehanna Bridge. 1t is but just to state
that these reports are chimerical. What lorna

against it time only can demonstrate. The piers
have not settled the fraction of an inch the
WORKINGS Of the draw give no evdrnce Of that
longitudinal pressure, which il has been prophc-
sled would push over the piers next the draw
and the SPANS sustain, without depression, the
weight of the heaviest trains which run OH the
road. Travellers, therefore, may rest rs secure
while crossing the Susquehauna as elsewhere on
the road.
Our lumber merchants are shipping lumber
largely 10y the Branch Road, considering the
disadvantage in hauling and the newness of the
enterprise, 10 points MS far east rs Wilmington,
and down the Delaware road. This trade will
