Johnson appear to be very thankful for small favors, in thoir at tempt to defeat tho nomination of James Buchanan, Pennsylvania's favorilo son, as the democratic cendidato for tho Presiden cy. As they havo not, as yet, been able to get a single County Meeting in the State to favor their scheme, they are publishing, for the purpose of manufacluring public opin ion, resolutions adopted by small squads of military men, and by meetings in some re mote comer of a county. It must be rather disheartening to tho renowned Doct. Sals bary, tho would be leader of the Johnson parly Since tho Doct. Salsbury farce, at Harris risburg, on the 5th of March, to lead off in in thii stale in favor of Johnson, several counties, at their county meetings, havo resolved in favor of Duchanan, while not a tingle county, and not more than half a do zen democratic newspapers, have expressed themselves in favor of tho repudiating tcheme.

THE POOR MAN'S FRIEND- Wo recollect once, when a lad, hearing a dozen politicians dcbalct ho queston as to which of then existing parties were the friends of the poor man. Every argument seemed to make the differenco of opinion moro wide, and tho disputants wero waging high and hard words, when a facetious gentleman said ho could answer iho ques tion in a few words. 'Do it if you please,' said one of the par ty. 'Who is the poor man's friend?' 'Why the poor manV said the facetious gentleman. All agreed to the answer, and wo went home, with a firm conviction that tho poor man's friend is tho poor man. Aj-ons.

Times of Ihu OUi inst. We learn by a gentleman who left Sampler county, a day or two since, that, on Men day evening last, the first day of tho meet ing of the Superior Court, a crowd entered the office of tho Clerk, or the court room, and took tho desk containing the court pa pers and destroyed them that, on Ihe fol lowing day the Deputy Sheriff of the county was forcibly taken and carried off' so as to prevent his conducting the sales that the Sheriff undertook to offer tho property advertised under execution, but that any person bidding for property did so at his peril which deterred any ono from offering a bid, thereby preventing sales on that day and thai, finally, an cffori was mado to prevent the Judgo from holding Court, but that Judge Taylor kept his seat on the bench, and was enabled, by his firmness and determination, to proceed with tho business before the Court- Wo Underslandthat in ensequcneo of an affidavit mado on Wednesday last before the Hon. B. TmmsTON.ono of tho Judges ofourCircut Court, warrant was issued charging that 'there is probablo cause to believe that tho Hon. H. A. Visc annd tho Hon. Edwaud Stanly, members of the House of Representatives, are about lo com nut a breach of the peace by filing a duel and that preparations are now making by said parlies to commit such breach of tho peaco. I ho warrant was issued last Fed nesday evening and search was immediato ly madu by the officers that night, but neith er of tho par'.ics could be found; and it was understood that Mr. Stanly had left the city. Sometime on Thursday afternoon tho Hon. Mr. Wish was arrested; and on the reurn of tho writ by the Marshal before Justice MonscLL the same evening, P. R. Fendall, Esq. district Attorney, appearing for the United Slates,) Mr. Wise expressed his willingness to give security to keep the peace within the district of Columbia, should the Justice deem sucli a course ne cessary on his part, but at tho samo time do tried the right of any Judge or Justice in the District lo require him lo cive orsicrn anv bond obliging him to keep the peace out of ate uisinci. The proceedings in the case, however, were postponed, at the reauest of Mr Wish uniil the next day,(yeslcrday,)at ten o'clock ior me purpose ot Hearing testimony. Yesterdav. at the time annointed. Mr Wise again appeared before the Justice.and in tiie presence of several members of Con cress and a largo company, enlored into an able argument and defence, conlendimr that Wb.couUI not be held to bail, and pleading nis privnoge rrom arrest as a member of Congress, tho warrant charging no actual breach ol iho peace, but merely probable cause ,o ueueve mat ono would be commuted To this argument theiDislriclAtiorhey made a very powerful and courteous reply. After which, the further consideration of this lnlcreitiiic caso was at the reauest of Mr Wise, and with the consent of the District Altorney and tho acting Justice, postponed until ihe.(Salurday) morning, at ten o'clock to no lurtner argued at the Court-house be fore the Hon. Judge Duraor. Nat, Iniel Mr. Wise again appeared before Judge iJunlap on baturilav, and alter an oxamina tion of five hours, was bound over in the sum of threo thousand dollars to keep life peace not only in tho Uistrict of Columbia, but the whole United States. Mr. Wise gave the bond, but it is thought that he will ultcrly disregard it, at feast out of the Dis, tncl ot Uolumuia. A Washinlon letter stales on tho authority of Rumor, that Mr, Stanley's friends, aro Mr. vv ashington member Irom North Car olina, and Col. McCarly, of Virginia.
