(Cr sided its the State a Year. Returning to Phil- ' adelphia, with rather a limited opinion of the profession in Bucks county, he asked the ad vice of Charles Chauncey, Horace Binney - and John Sergeant, all 4 whom took great interest in his success. Acting upon the advice‘ , ese distinguish el geneernen gave him, Mr. . :e ng directed his steps to Reading, reaching at place in November,- 1832, with less t n. $lO in sits peekat, owing t4OO unacquat ed with a single individual in the county, knowing nothing ofthe pinctice of Pennsylvania courts, and being unable to speak or understand a word .of the language spoken generally by nearly every one about him. These were ratbee digcouraging circumstances, but Mr. Strong was bound to succeed, and be did, as every one else who has the gift of continuance. At the end of the year he found himself mas ter of the German language, and in posses sion of .a fair, living practice, his previous thorough legal education giving him an ad vantage over most young lawyers of that day. tie thus realized the benefits of the many hours he had spent in hard study ,while his companions were sleeping. We have thus followed the subject of our sketch, until we find him firmly established in that Gibralter of Democrecv, old Berk. Although a Democrat, firm and unwavering, be always declined being a candidate for the Legislature and other positions which his friends were anxious for him to accept, pre ferring the'walks of private life, until 1846, when, owing to his health failing, on account of severe application to his profession, be was induced to accept a nomination for Con gress, which resulted in his triumphant elec tion,—and although comparatively a stran ger, be ran nearly eight hundred votes ahead of the Democratic State ticket. Mr. S. com menced. his Congressional career in the XXXth Congress, with a Whig Speaker, and being a new born member, was not as . signed a very prominent* place on Committees. being placed on the Committee on Revoln tionary Pensions. In this, as in all things else with which he was entrusted he discharg ed his duty faithfully. Among the speeches - made by him during this, Congress, was one in defenceof the Mexican War, and sustaining the position of President Polk., The speech was highly eulogized and widelY circulated at the tiine of its delivery. He also delivered a very able speech against the,system of con tracts for Ocean Mail Steamer service, which was the first important speecVmade iu either House against this system of plunder. In the fall of 1848 be was re-nominated unanimously, an event tinnsual inThis district, and re-elected by a majority five hundred greater than that given. the Democratic ean didate for Governor. Oa the appointment of • the Committees for the XXXIst Congress, Mr. Strong was placed at the head of the Committee on Elections, and appointed a member of the Committee on Rules. -At the expiration of his second term, he declined a re-election to Congress, and resumed the prac Lice of his profession. -He has always been a sound, national Democrat, but tnore of a student and a law cer than a politician. The is a fine, noble looking man, about six feet high, of pleasant and agreeable Te.anners, with. a gentlemanly and dignified hearing. _ En wan.

Thus discourses an alarmist print of_the Enst,in the coarse of a rather lengthy article. Why it should do so we are at a loss to isay. People of all shades of polities, - here in Kan sas; freely and unhesitatingly say that this must be a Free State. -The prospects of free dom never were brighter than to-day. The world does move and that aright. Error may for a time bold stray, but Truth will eventu ally prevail. We are not of the desponding class, but we are ever hopeful of the right: No person well acquainted With the state• of affairs in Kansas would have,in truth writ ten the above, and we do entreat the friends of freedom to be cautious bow the give cir culation to such injurious reports. Such ac counts from professed friends are doing much to retard the prosperity of our growing count From reading the above article from which we have extracted, one would be led -to believe that our case is hopeless.. •It • is, however, a. willful perversion or. the emana tion of ignorance.

" Axes to Grind*" The Kansas Leader, a free state paper de: flounces the polici . of the N. Y. Tribune as developed by their " special correspondents," very properly designating them as " shriek erg," and charges them with desiring to keep Kansas in the . field until certain ends have been accomplished. The Leader- advises a participation in future elections, instead of standing back and "shrieking fraud ! fraid as heretofore," but says it expects to ho posed in this by the Tribune, and gives its .plain outspoken opinioti of that monster o$ fanaticism in the following pointed express ions; " They (the Tribune and its co-work ers) hare " axes to (mind," we have none.-:-- They hare a President to Wed in 186.0, awl grant to we Kons.as to do it, and after that they will admit it into the Union as. a free State." Here welave, from a free State paper in Kansas, a . full vindication of the truth of our assertion that the party claiming to be the e=pecial advocate of" freedom," was a base imposition upon comnianity ; that instead of really desirirg the freedom of Kansas, it wanted to keep up anarchy and misrule in that unhappy territory, and then by charging it upon the Democratic party, to deceive the public into the very foolish act of placing the fe-deral government under the control of its reckless, and unprincipled leaders. Greeley d Co., had." axes to grind," in the last cam paign but conunenc.elgrinding so early, and ground so furiously that long_ere the fourth of November had arrived, their axe was ground to the poll and.availed them teething: 1.11:0111AN:A\N'O tunjority wag Aver half a milli on, and even the .Yorth, upon which they lived their hopes, left the Rocky Mountain Nag 300,000 in the rear ; while the whole Union, over which it is supposed a President: is elected to preside, kindly permitted him whom the axe grinders delighted to call the "Path Finder," to pursue his lonely way along the fabled. path that leads to the head waters of " Salt River," by a majority greater than leis whole vote. • Let Greeley,'Seward,Wilson,Witmot & Co., pursue this axe grinding policy in the future if they choose, the r EOPLE wilt watch them and be prepared to administer an appropriate rebuke. Let. them attempt to play "bleed ing Kansas"in the future if they. dare; it will prove the certain and utter annihilation of their party organization. They have played upon the harp Of a single string until thous ands of their former victims have bad their eyes opened, and as a matter of course have left them to pursue their own road to ruin.-- They have yelled "Kansas I Kansas I" and . resolved and re-resolved that Topeka burn-. bug was the only way of admission for that territory, until so far as wican learn not a single free State paper in Kansas is . with them. 44 IA Pnekof Hounds." It will be remembered that we copied an article a for weeks since from the Kansas Herald of Freedom, charging the papers and politicians of the East, who hare bas'd their fortunes upon the success of the "Republi can" party, with havini labored to make Kansas a slave state, in order that their po sition in the past might be maintained, and their reckless - ambition, and thirst for office be satiated. We invited the Editor of the Republican to copy - the article, and he did so: ; but that he might destroy the effect he feared 'it might hare upon his readcro, etated that Brown, the editor of the Herald of Freedom, was opposed to the policy of the free state party, and desired to" sell out," the cause of freedom. Brown brands this charge as 'vilely false, says he never opposed the free sta.'s; policy, unless it be the policy of that parts', " to keep vp anarchy and strife, and prolong the era of bloodshed and violence. Brown says the " letter-writers" and " cla quere. of the leafing eastern papers have made this charge, and a portion of the rank and file,-(we quote his language,) " without 1 understanding the subject; but blindly fols lowing the dictates of the leaders; echoed the cry that the Herald of Freedom was unwor thy to be longer supported by freemen, and was recreant to the cause. Like a pack of HOUNDS unloosed from their kennels, they (deadly echoed the bay of the master-spirit, and Tray, Blanch. and Sweetheart, rushed madly 'after the offender." ' As the editor of the Ikrublicas is fond of referring to us as "dogs,".ie must not complain if we remind him that the extract above in elndei him among the "hounds," (meaning a species of " dogs" with long ears, which bark a great deal, but seldom bile anything, ex cept it be - in the provender line,) who, " with- 'out understanding the subjei,"blindly follow the dictates of such fanatic id and reckless I ji falsifiers as Greeley, and is iiresponsible " Kansas correspondents." I iar The Daily Sun truly stye that " all who are anxious to crush Americanism and have it put out of the way," are the " enemies of Judge Wilmot ;" and that those who op pose the "Catholic Irish" are • his friends.— He freely admits that the Democracy aro avowedly and implacably hostile to that AmericanisM recently represented at Wash ington by the " Plug Uglies," and which but a few years ago deluged the street of Louis ville, Cincinnati, and St. Louis with the blood of suffering citizens ; of that Americanism Mr. Wilmot is now the sworn representative. It remains to be seen whether the men resid• ing in this locality, who have heretofore pre fessed a willingness to maintain those provis ions of the Constitution which guarantee to every man the right to worship as his con science dictate., will violate those profes.ions by supporting David Wilmot—a member of the odious Knoi-Nothing order—for the of flee for which the Mongrels have designated him.

A Carious Case of Matrimony. The Paterson Guardian of July 24th, re-• lates the following extraordinary story: Not ten days have elapsed since we pub lished a tnarriag! in our colomns, whilst with the' peculiar circumstances of the strange wedding we have until now been ignorant. A young lady of this place went to New York on a visit, and was introduced into family residing in Fifth . avenue. By render ing herself affable and endearing, she was in vited to spend a few days with them as a welcome guest. All went, smoothly, and act ing. with- mach propriety and possessing such apparent sweetness of character, -she gained the respect and confidence of the whole fam ily, and upon her departure invited them up to see her at her residence in this place, rep resenting her people as - living in .the first 14)10, with erlfiy luxury about them. She then left for Paterson, after receiving a prom ise from. them to return her visits in a very shcirt time. • A few weeks after, a son and daughter of the family on the avenue, came up to Peter son, and - fJund the young girl at home ; but also found appearances very different from what her.deseriptiou had led them to 'antici pate: • •At night the young gentleman sug gested to his sister that they should put up at a hotel ; bst this the young lady strenu ously opposed, and insisted vehemently Upon their remaining nt the house, which they fi nally consented to d'o. B d time anived,.and both were shown 'o their rooms. In a short time after the young man hal retired, the young lady, who is the heroine tf our story, introdtc4 herself into his bed chamber, and passed the night there. Extraordinary as-this conduct seems to have been, it was not: such 'an nstnnisber as the venlig gentleman received in the morning, for he found himself entrapped. the minister_ present; and a fu's generally b. leg kicked up , by the girl's relatives. -The sister upon be ing informed of the true state of the case was,. highly indignant, and astounded even more than the young man himself. Onlv one way presented itself for the young gentleman to' escape froin the wrath of the household and the meshes of the Taw. A marriage was quickly solemnizedot last expressing his wil lingness to become a husband- sooner than have!legal measures resorted to. llis sifter returned to the city to acquaint the family on the avenue with the scrape, and th. young man, her brother, we believe slipped off in the text train. -Nothing has been hearti of the bridegroom from that time to this; but his mother came up and visited his newly made wife, and after reproaching all hrinds for their hypocrisy. and deception, declared her son should never Tire with the woman he had been forced to marry—that sooner than he should see her, they should send him as far as water c•altd carry h m.. • Thas lie affair stands at present. Consid erabl excitement and a erre:v. -- deal of 0-o3sip has crown but or the affair, and how. it w ill end time alone can tell _•Topetin Constitution. We w e re invited by an itinerant politician who visited our ofilee during the present week to sign a petition to Congreks to admit Kan sas as a State under the Topeka ConstitUtion. As a matter of course we declined lendin7 our name to the keeping. up of any such humbug,..terr. We wish to see Kinsasa Free . State, an ' d.will do all in our power to aid in attaining that end, but we will.not join in . every toolish or fanatical pro . kt winch som a if our 'Free State brethren may choose to or-. iginate. Has not this thins of petitioning to Congress for admission under that Constitu tion been tried once! and has it not prose(' a failure! And why try it again? has the complexion of Corgre-s so changed that the chances appear more favorable ? or is it mere ly fur the purpose of keeping up agitation. and olnkiug p l rty capital, to the detriment of the best interests of the people of Kansas! We had hoped that the day of agitation was passed, and the class of men who danced to the fiddling of political jugglers' in the States, had disappared from the stale. But alas, how rain are !Arian hopes. We We to have the old plavacied over. again, for the benefit of cutsiders at our expense.

Another Falsehood Sailed. The 'Republicans' are fond of assetting that a majority of the , Judges of the Supreme Court are S!areholders. This is not true.' Four of them reside in free states where no one owns slaves. • Chief Justice TANEY has not owned a slave for more than thirty years. lie never bought or sold a slave.. Of those that the 13 , itish spared his father, when they polluted the soil of Ifaryland, some.came to him by inheritance. ,After educating those who - were young enough to be taught, and quallying them to take care of themselves, he voluntarily gave them all their freedom.— Two, who were so old as to be _unable to earn their living, be cheerfully supported during their lives..

On a full consideration of the subject, it haw appeared •to the . Commiltte, that it would be more in accordance With the:olject for which the Society was institiited, to omit all special pre miutns for grain or root crops, as th ry have a tendency- to encourage an undue share ol• atten- tion to these p articular objects, to the neglect of the general - interest of the farm.

Holloway': Ointment and Pills,—The idea that cancer is incurable cannot be enter tained by persons who have witnessed the ef fect of these remedies on this terrible disease.
