Judge Watts is an ornament to the bench, and men of nil Parties feel that there can ho no possi ble advantage in making a .change. Changes in the judiciary involve the most serious Con sequences to the community. The fear of an atteraPi to change wo firmly believe wad what induced tho people of Cumberland county to cast a majority of five hundred against the a mandment to the Constitution. Nor can there be any party advantage in the election of ei ther a whig or democrat. A President Judge has no yatronagd to bestow; and if he is an honest and impartial officer, his political friends can reap no party benefit from his election.— And regarding it in this light the majority of sound and right-thinking democrats can see no good reason why they should engage in a par ty effort to displace a good Judge and a man in,whom they have entire confidence, to a chieve a mere political triumph which might to the endrove injurious to their beet inter ests and tltd pablfc good. The reply of 'Judge Watts is happily expres sed and is characteristic of the man. Ho ox oresses a natural repugnance to.running as a nereparty candidate for a judicial station.— .:qually repugnant to him would be the con ' inuanco in his present station if ho was not idected to it by the free and cordial suffrages pf the people.

The Declaration of littlepentleime was read by Daniel Gantt, Esq. Toasts by W. A. ,Sponslor, Esq. and an el tiluent address delivered by Col. P.

Johnston has 'not created a Sinking Fund; nor has he originated asolitary measure cal culatedto diminish the State Debt.' It is to. Gov. Shenk that the'people, are indebted for the revenue`measure. called the, "Sinking Fund." It was "honest Frank Shunk" who originated the idea of potting - npnrt ty certain amount yearly for the, payment of a portion of the Principal of .the State Debt."--Volun teer. The .Volunker is in the habit' of making large drafts upon the ercdplity4f its readers, but the extract above incertainly the great= est insult it hap lately offered to their intelli gence. For wo hold that intelligent -readers are really insulted, when they aro impudently, asked to - ree - ervins truthWhatis notoriously a bald falsehood.- Now every man in .the Cora timinvealth knows that the Sinking Fund for the reduction of the State Debt has been in operation but two years. If Gov. Shunk orig inated it why was no State Debt paid during his administration; Gov. Shunk wan certain ly long enough in office to have done so, if the Sinking Fund had its origin with him. But the Volunteer knows and every sensible man knows that it is a falsehood to say 'that Gov. Shunk originated the Sinking Fund. No such Fund was known until Gov. 'Johnston's admin istration commenced. Not a dollar of the For- , ty Million Debt was paid until Gov: Johnston was elected, This is the simple fact and well do the Tax-burdened Farmers of Pennsylvania know it. They know that Goy. Johnston's em phatic declaration was in his -inaugural ad dress, NO MORE' STATE DEBT ! His next effort, and in this he was signally successful, was 'envy the interest on' the Debt in-gold and sliver, thus raising the credit - of - the State to the' highest point. His next effort was to establish a SINKING FUND for the reduction of the Debt. He pointed out the manner in which the public monies had been diverted from their legitimate uses and squandered. He" showed how a large portion of the revenues of the State might be saved and gathered into a Sinking Fund, by Which HALF A MILLION OF DOLLARS OF DEBT HAS* . BEEN AL READY PAID! The People know these facts and His too late in the day to deny that Gov. Johnston originated the Sinking Fund, and to claim the credit 6f it for Gov. Shunk: No E:typn'Dniii WAS PAID UNTIL Gob. JOIINSTON . (MILE INTO POSSVL! This every -man in-the Commonwealth know° to be true. , The peOple cannot be deceived in this Matter by the pudent assertions of the locofoco papers.— They are attempting to gull the people into the belief that Gov.

CANT SWALLOW TOE 111 I' The Tillage I?ccord says a Bigler Club was formed by the Locofoces, of West Chester, on Thursday evening last. Measures...were aclop, , tod for promoting his election.- At the same time along preamble and resolutions were a dopted declaring that some. of the candidates for the Supreme Bencl4 nominated at Harris burg, wore entirely unworthy of the support of the Democracy of the State... They there fore, resolved to repudiate that portion of the ticket—eapecially Campbell, Lewis rand Gib son. The objection alleged against these gen tlemen, were incompetency anddishanesty, -and the fraud and corruption by which they procured their nomination. The Meeting last ed until nearly midnight, and the discussions wore sustained principally by Mr. John Hick man, Joseph L. Lewis and P. P. Smith, all of whom were delegates to the (Harrisburg' Con. vcntiou. They all declared that they could not support the Harrisburg nominations. With but two dissenting voices the meeting adopted an 'address to their brethren abroad, .004 forth their reasons in bold language.— They say they rare not proparerto place the judicial power of the State In the hands capable or dislmnett men merely because they were nominated by a Democratic convention; particularly controlled is that of Harrisburg - , by combinations and bargains, resulting in the nomination of some candidates unfit to be elec ted." "The corrupt men aspiring to the load. of late years must be thrust back to their pro per places. Their object is office and plunder; we must defeat them in their purposes at all hazards. We must strike now;• the occasion is too important to admit of delay. Although we in Chester county constitute but a small portion of the ranks of the party in the State, we have our rights and will at least try to maintain them. If others aro willing to truckle to corruption and intrigue, we aro not. Nevertheless we have confidence in the virtue of the masses and with their help we hope to bo somewhat instrumental in purifying party morals." . 7 TIIE FUGITIVE SLAVE L.i.w u Mississtrm.— Down inMiesissippi they don't seem to think the Fugitive Slave Law so essential to the proseit _vation_ef-the-Union.---A eortain-TudgeWilkin ,- son is reported by the Lexington (Miss.)

It has everyttikng to re commend it to either ,the seekers of 'pleasure or the seekers of health. Both can have the attiption of one of the moat gentlemanly and obligingrhosts in the country, untiring in his exertions to secure comfort, pleasure and con stant enjoyment to Lis visitors. The lionlic is charge and beautiful stone building, "standing on the slope of the hill, on the Western side of the Gap. Along its whole length extends a broad portico, affording at all times a delight ful promenade. The paiioure aro largo and comfortable, and filled with the instruments and materials for amusement and entertain ment to both ladies and gentlemen. His table. is furnished with all that the market can af ford, is spread with the greatest neatness, and served by polite and attentive servants. • In front of the house is enclosed 4 beautiful grove, through which pleasant winding walks are made, and Various means of exercise and a musement erected. From the how. to_the main-road,ndistanecofiiliefft - ihuntirod yards, the mountain gradually andregnlarly descends, at an angle of about three or four degrees.= From the road it descends at greater angle to the Springs and baths, which are a - short distance-below.---Along the main-road-leading np through the Gap, are some of the most love ly views that the admirer of nattimeould wish to have. Ire can stroll along in quiet solitude, and see every variety of mountain Bolters ; all around him a thick forest of greert foliage; and occasionally the smoke rising gracefully from some mountaineer's hut standing deep in the hollow below Lim, or high up on the hill side, almostioat and hid from view by the dense clusters of forest trees that surround it. Across the ravine an immense mountain ri ses up thickly covered with various species of pine and cedar. Its two extended points, sev eral miles apart, stand on a lino nearly North and South, and between these it curves in the form of a horse shoo: In a clear evening. as the sun sinks below the high ridge on the West ern side of 'the Gap, to see the long shadoW of the mountain gradually creeping up the steep aseent.of the opposite hill, and above it the bright sun light still illuminating the forest of pine and cedar when the sun itself is no longer visible, presents ono of the moat beautiful and brilliant pictures that the eye can behold. ' Directly across from the house, about half way up the oppeaito.mountain, and probably half a mile distant, is the- well-known cave of Lewis, the celebrated robber. Many a thrill-. ing and, romantic story is connected with the name 'of this bold, and in many respects, no-. ble-hearted freebeeter. It may appear strange to speak of a highway robber having a noble heart. Ilut if ono half the tales,' (and appa rently from authentic sources) told-of him aro true, he was not wholly lost to the feelings of hOnor and humanity. The aged and helpless never stood in danger from Lim ; and many of the.poorowere special objects of his care and, charity. It wee his boast and pride, that what ho wrested from the rich, be gave to the poor; and no monntaineer,lit ye said, would ever be tray him: 'Although a robber, he was not a murderer, and we believe yras,never known to commit a murder; Among the many stories told of 'Eta wo can only briefly relate two. On ono occasion; with several confederates,, ho went to a farm house to.rob it; at night.--' When he entered ho found it occupied by a' lonely old couple; .who were on their kneee en gaged-in theitevening devotions. Lewis atop pod in-the door, stood reverently silent until thoyarose from prayer,'bid them goodevening, and• retired,- leaving them unmolested. . . , On another:Occasion, it is said, that ho stop pa& young - man travelling-over the- Alleghe ny Mountains, on the l'ittsbnrg rend, bound Westwar4.;.lfe made him get but of his wagon , en the road aide, and deliver up his money.— After receiving it, Lewis-eat down a-11We dis tance off, to comtkover the spoils, and. found that lie bad made a spedulation of seven hun dred dollars... Whoh he returned to the wagon the young man wait still sitting on, the road side,sand weeping bitterly. • Lewis upbraided 'him for being such a child, as . to cry about the loss of his money. -The 'young man replied that it was not that which caused his grief, but that he had an aged mother and• a blim brother, Who were wholly dependent upon him for their support,:nnd that what lac had taken from him was everrcent he possessed in the ; The robber's heart .was touched. He gazed intently:on him for some time, apparent ly to see if there ,was truth and sincerity in his story, and finding nothing else, with an oath swore that it mote° hard a case, restored him his money, and sent him on his way re- — Mau stories of a similar character (wheth er true on not) have woven n_spirit of.romanee around the robber's name, and left him a char acter not entirely withouti admiration. The cave mentioned was in Lewis' time, in one of the most secluded parts of the mountain, and to this place he was in the habit of retiring and secreting himself, when sometimess almost the whole country around him, would be up in arms and in his pursuit. About two miles from the Springs on the top of a high bluff that Juts out from the Mountain, is also a place of great resort, and thaViliniild not be forgotten by- any -visitor, called - " Flat Rock."

To this point Mr. COylahas liad; a - Ptah' cleared out, and distinctly marked from the Springs. To reach it visitors should start in a clefts morning in parties. The ascent of the mountain is somewhat steep and tiresome, but not difficult. After,reaching the top they have an easy walk for about a mile, and on tho way have the opportunity of refreshing themselves at a cool and'delightful spring. They pass on through a forest of pine, and before they are aware of being at the point of destination, they emerge from the shade of the woods into clear open day; and in an instant the whole Cum berland Valley, fourteen miles in breadth, and in length each way as far as the eye can reach, opens before them with a grandeur and mag nificence that no pen, pencil, or tongue can de scribe. An admirer of nature must at first sight stand in silent amazement. Ire looks far down, and below Limbo sees hundreds of beau tiful farm houses, and -groves and fields of grain. Ho looks across the valley end the same rich variety of beauty' and wealth meets Lis eye, until the objects become gradually in distinct in the distance, and the valley and the opposite mountains blond together.

Yiirious villages can be distinguished with the naked eye, and with the aid of a good glass Chambersburg eon be brought to close famil iarity. Our readers will pardon us if they think we have been attempting to describe the view from "Flat Rock." We have had no such_intention, rind foal filet neither our own feeble pen, nor any ether however apt could do justice to the scene.
