Rogers the Thief.
Last week we gave a brief statement o
the facts, relative to the discharge of this
DETECTED ROBBER, whereupon that
pink of decency, the ".qdroca'r," says
we lie, (so does he, in the gutter, occa
sionally)—But that the people may think
there is some mistake, we insert the en
tire article from the "Advocate" contra
dicting our charge; and if our readers, as
well as those of the "Adrocute," do not
say we have the poor thing in a forked
stick, we shall miss our guess. The truth
'is, we should not trouble ourselves about
the charges against us, but when the most
malicious untruths are uttered, in order
if possible to screen their guilty Governor
,from the charge of forming his suite of
"drunkards and thieves," we feel bound
to prove what we say.
Now then to what we did say; Iv! said
Rogers was a DETECTED THIEF, and
we said he was released by Porter's Pros
ecutingr Attorney. Whereupon the Ad.
rvocate utters the following.
"Benedict has about a column of false
hoods relative to some man who was ar
rested and imprisoned at Pittsburg. Ile
knows he lies—he knows the Attorney
General, Mr. Johnson, never heard of
Rogers, nor his arrest, and yet he publish
es this wilful misrepresentation. This
publishing fellow, too, knows that Rogers
was discharged because not a SINGLE Wit.
ness appeared against him. Ile was dis-
I charged according to all the rules of law,
and why any scoundrel should make a
charge of mat-practice is, to us, strange.''
Now then let us see how near this pal
try pimp of thieves and pe jarers, is to the
truth. We have inserted below, the
statement of the jailor of Allegheny, and
our readers will there se.o that he was let
out on the authority of a written order
from 0. F. Johnson, yet the Advocate says
"Johnson never heard o/ Rogers, nor his
arrest;" and we see further that he was
riot let out "according zo all the rules of
law." The jailor says that no nolle pro
sequi was entered, and that the cause or
his discharge was, a letter from 0. F.
Johnson, stating that the Prosecuting At
torney fur that county, was ordered to do
so "Wore the court met." Yet it seems
that he was not released until the morn •
ing of the first day of court.
• IVe made the charge direct, of a
. common and DETECTED Tii lEF at lib
erty, to prey upon the public, or else to be
boon companion in crime with those who
stand in high places. A careful exami
nation of thhe case will satisfy any sober
or honest man, that the cNarge is true.
Rogers stole the money—it was found
hidden in his collar—The prosecutor, Mr
Tanner, gave bail in fifty dollars for his
apparance at court. It was the duty of
the Prosecuting Attorney to draw out the
indictment and find what witnesses could,
be had to prove the charge. In this ease l
there was sufficient testimony to convict
any man, even if Mr. Tanner did not !
come back, and very well he knew it.
therefore, the desire to escape before
court. If they had known, that by the
rules of law, he could escape; they would
willingly have waited a day longer. But
No: he wore the brand of the 'FIEF on
his brow--he was , just the instrument for
dog-keeping Government; —They requi
red his services--and they snatched him
from the CELL OF THE FELON to
Place him we suppose, in the cabinet of
jewels of our "Nured Innocent"—Porter
—a beautiful pair, eminently worthy of
each other.
But here is the statement of the jailor,
we ask for it a careful reading, and then
they can in the language of the 'Advocate'
say "why any scoundrel," should make a
contrary statement, is to them strange.
"On the morning of the 10th inst., on
going into the office of the jail, I was told
that the Deputy Attorney General had
left a discharge for Dr. Rogers. I inqui
red if he had been let out, and was told
that he hail not. I then said he should
not go out, until I should see the Sheriff's'
counsel on it; Rogers being at the bars,
heard me, and sent for me, to see what
was the reason. I told him it was the
first time a prisoner had been discharged
in that way, who was charged with a felo
ny, and that I would see if a Nolle Pro
sequi could be entered belore he would go.
I then went to see, and was told that it
was a good discharge for me. I then sent
up word to let him go, Lut did not go up
myself until dinner time. I then saw,
Rogers, and spoke to him about it, and
told him it would not surprise toe if he
were arrested again. He then said it was.
not from the Deputy Attorney General,
but from Ovid F. Johnson, that he got dis
charged. lie then draw out a letter from
his vest pocket, and opened, and pointing
to it, I read a part, which stated that if he
had riot already, he might expect to re
ceive a visit from the Deputy Attorney
General, who was instructed to enter a
Nolte Prosequi,M'lrefore the Court met;'
and turning it (the letter) over, showed
me the signature of Ovid F. Johnson. I
was also informed by a prisoner, a day or
two after, that he had wrote a letter to 0.
F. Johnson, for Rogers, fur the purpose of
obtaining his discharge, and one to his
Attorney, informing him that lie expected
to get clear in that way, 3 few days after.
JAMES NIT UN F,.
What do you think of it, or rather what
would you think of it it you was sober
AVe prove here by the jailor himself, that
you are a plain, direct, and wilful false
fier. flow do you like the eminence you
have attained.
During our whole course, we have defi
ed Porter and all his "drunkards, thieves
and perjurers," to detect us in ode wilful
mistatement. They have ever failed; and
we have invariably heaped the sins upon
their own heads. New how any people
can encourage any paper that prefers
falsehood to truth, we cannot imagine.
Improvement Bill.
In order that our readers may know the
provisions of the Improvement Bill, as fi
nally passed, and to save room, we here
give a synopsis of the whole.
Section 1. Makes the following ap-
propriations:
"Fo complete the rail way to avoid the
inclined plain at Columbia 539,000
For reservoirs at the termination
of the Portage rail road 70,000
For engines and ropes 100,000
" repairs 25.000
" West Branch divsion 40,000
" North do. 65,000
" Beaver division 10,000
" Repairing French creek feeder 15,000
" Debts due for repairs a; sur
veys 145,000
" Damages '5,000
" For pay of Canal Commission
ers, Engineers &c.
Section 11. Appropriates to the
Shenango line 500,000
For the conneant line 2.50,000
" Tioga 4 Tunkhannock lines 450,000
Wisconisco feeder 150,000
Section 111, Directs a re-measurement
'by the tomer and present engineers, in
conjunction, of all the work done on the
North and West Branch canals, and %Vis.
consin feeder, where the contractors are
disatisfied; and further directs the Com
missioners to pay the contractors accor
ding to said re-measurement—retaining
the per centage•—except on such sections
as the commissioners have declared aban•
doned, on those to pay retained per cent
age and all.
Section IV. Authorises to change the
location of the feeder darns on Lackarva
na river and French creek.
Section V, Authorises the Governor to
borrow fur twenty nine years '254,000
dollars.
Section VI, Directs the Canal Board to
ascertain upon what terms the state cam.
purchase the West Philadelphia and Ches.
ter and Delaware rail roads.
Section VII appropriates $30,000 to
survey, to ascertain the most advatna.
geoous route for a continuous rail road
from Harrisburg to Pittsburg.
Section VIII enacts That whatever
amount of the loan hereby authorised, 01
any loan which has been created and not
disposed of; or any loan which may here
after be created, shall or may be taken by
any of the banks of this commonwealth.
That such amount may be paid out in five
dollar Lills, to be issued by the bank or
banks taking such loan or loans, and the
amount of loan so taken any of the
banks of this Commonwealth, shall remain
on deposit with said bank until the wants
of the Commonwealth require it to be
drawn out; and it sha II be the duty of the
disbursing officers of the Commonwealth,
it requested so to do by the officers of the
banks taking such loan or loans, to pay
out to contractors and other creditors of
the Commonwealth the five dollar bills of
the bank or banks by which they are issu
ed, so long as such bank or banks shall
continue to redeem the same on demand
in specie, if such contractor or creditors
will consent to revel c the same.
This last section we have published en,
tire. There are in it some very peculiar
features, which could not have escaped
the keen vision of the dog beepers of the
lower house; and we are led to think that
they are trying to curry favor with the
"old monster," and if possible to bring her
into their traces. We do not say that
such is the fact, but the adoption of such a
provision, has something about it ~ .L.erry
pet.•oaler." It allows the bank that takes
the loan to issue five dollar notes. Every
hank in the State but one is allowed to do
so by her char:• r. Is it not right to sup
pose then, that that section was inserted,
especially for that one bank's benefit. It
could not have any bearing on any other,
because they already posses the right to
issue live dollar notes by their charter. I t
follows then that this was inserted in or
der to bribe the U. S. Bank to take the
loan. Cannot any one with half an eye
see it? If the Loco Foco solons did not
know this, they are no more fit for legis •
lation than--Porter is for Governor. If
they did understand the provision, then
they are in tact guilty of tasting of the
forbidden tree,—their itching palms have
been crossed by the monsters gold— they
were tempted, and fell. Do not our rea
ders see this? If the bank takes the loan,
she can in defiance of all previous laws to
the contrary, issue five dollar notes.
We learn that there is however, a strong
probability that the Governor will not
the bill. If so, he will very likely
give it as one of the reasons fir so doing,
that he feared no other bank woald take
the loan—and if the "moneer" did—then
oh! horrible: she could issue small notes.
This may be the offered objection, al
though we doubt not the real one will be
that he is not satisfied with the amount
given to repairs—and because it is so spe
cifically appropriated, that his officers can
not get huld of it fur electioneering pur
poses.
The "Advocate" thinks that we ought
not to complain at the increased sallary
of the Judges. because forsooth, our friend ;
in the Senate voted for it. Ah! sets the
wind from that quarter. You oppose and
favor a measure, do you, because your
party does? That's e xactly tibia w e
thought. You arc not orily the tool, Lot
the slave of party. As for ourselves, we
care not who advocates or who suplir:s a
measure, when satisfied of its (greets, w e
are ready to_ praise or censure, let the n
fall on whom they may. Because our
friends in the Senate voted to increase the
sallarics of Judges, is no reason why we
should support it. It is the duty of the
press to defend the interest of the people
—not the errors of partisans; and we shall
fearlessly perform our part of the task.
But if the people will sustain a press that
endeavors to decieve them, by the most
barefaced falsehood, as was done by a
neighboring print in Rogers' case—then,
they will find that they nurse:a viper that
will sting them.
