. A libryty pole was raised in Tuibiit township,
on Sa'uulay last, by th Van Bonn men six
cheers were given for Van Bujcn and Johnson and
tlvrtt fur Horton.

The above ia from the la-t Sunbnry Out itte.
Even Horton, It seems, could got three cheers, but
Gov. Porter wan allowed jusl none at all. Such
little things will sinetinvs leak out, and bIiow
which way the wind blows. Almost any one can
see that Horton and hi friend arc opposed to the
Governor and the true democratic paity.

Now, what have the peoi le on thia fide ! Why
one member of assembij? and a court house, and
they want to take them both from us.
Communication.
Mimiii. Editors: I have been credibly infor
med by a person of g od autho ity, who can prove
the fact if neceasaiy, that during lie recent camp
meet ng in Augusta township, JefaeU. Horton was
frequently p'csenl dui'mg the religious ejeicisea;
and, on one oct anion on h i way thilher from Sun
bury, he met u numlwr of young men somewhere
" on the Shomokin HilU, aa they were returning from
the meeting to Snydcrntowu, and after some con
versation shout the election, he hindid tliem a but
tle col mining ardfiit spirit, that they miglit regale
tlienie'ves with him on the highway, nnd ihu on
their return from the p'aee f worship, drown every
goad impiCKion in the iutirating IhiwI. He then
puraoed his way toward the meeting, und they to
.hill homes.
These are the fuel wliVh, as I have mi I, enn I

which must fill the bie.nt of evny pirerit, and ol
eveiy virluons man In the commun:tv 1 Truly

Will not a monl and religious community sluink
with abhorrence from the suport of one who thus
dcfl'es the veiy roal to tl e house of I is maker, de
secrates the ceremonies and ordinances of our holy
religion, and lo gain vote, sets such an aboininn
ble example of levity and hypocrisy in sacred things,
