The 'reason is oltionfin: be tween Judge Lisle siod Gen. Irwin, there are no two opinions site WhiCh.ifl the strongest. As a man, Judge •Halo everywhere coo mends respect, and he would have undoubt edly carried the entire vote of his party.: But, it not our province, inuch less our inclination, to investigate the personal cha racter of candidates. It is with their Pail -1.0/.=ion that wo have to do. As a pol nletl n. Irwin has always been ambitious for distinction, and to attain his aspirations' fie has joined every party and 'Vika% that proinised success. Ho bes• been several times a candidate before the people, but we thy not recollect tluit he eN* ran twice tinder the sannamoipices. In 1851 ho ran for As sembly ss an Independent, and in his speech es stated eipressly thqt lie belonged to no flinty ; in 1852 Ircr ran for Congi:esi as a Whig ; in 1855 ht. was a_Natitinal Know. Nothing; and in 1856 ho runs as a Itepubli can Know-Nothing i• But upon no question, has his inconsistency, or lather his " right about-fan" propensity becit more' glaringly. eiihibifed than on the &very qtiOtion. Up to Om 6th of 4141gLtatiast, It is well, known he had always been'National in his views, and denounced the sectionalism of the Re publicans in the bitterest tertns. B o eing an aspirant for Congress, however, tol'aLlt hav ing become a "pipari3nt that Fremontisni 'was gaining ground and Know-Nothingism dying out, he took our community by surprise at the'Know-Nothing meeting in court week, by endorsing the principles .and doctrines which had been held fortli at the Republi can meeting the night previOuil It is truo ho endeavored, at the close of his speech, to convince his Stidience that, although' he pt• tered eery different sentiments from those be bad previously maintained, yet he was just as true a Fillmore Know-Nothing, and just as much opposed to Rectionertiirii as ever ! but it is equally true that a majority of those pres ent could not be trios gulled. Since his nomination,. we observe, ho is canvassing the northern portion of the dis trict, making out-and.out Republican speech es. We copy the following from the Wil lianisport-laljTenTe-nl-Press: ---'--*- "The Court Howie, lest evening, was crowded to excess, to hear Gen. Wm. 11. Ir win. His speech throughout was a masterly effort —his searching end severe remarks of the present executive, were listened to with breathless attention, and one grand echo %id lowell his remarks of that traitorous act the iopeal of the Missouri ,Compromise." In order that our reauttiV, and the people of the'dbfreict, may know what Gen. Irwin'g sentiments were, /nm than a year ago, upon die slavery question and the repeal of the loksouri Compromise', we beg leave to call attention to the following extracts from a letter . itiblialied try his men.the 3d of Novella bt.r, 1855, iiithe Lewistown Anenra, and ad ! diR ssed •' To the American party of Pena- Isj!vania i'',:. - • " Why, then, this usckss 'agitation of the slavery Oration T Be assured that Its only practical effect will be to identify the .Amer lean Party in the North, with the fanaticism of Abolition, fur the real evil of Abolition ism consists in thus very point, the usrloras and (hote oot. inched agitation of Ms slavery The only arceininly toettforinded na'yec. ion to the abrogation of the Missouri Com promise line, is the evil example of broken faith which it gives; nod unquestionably precedents of bad faith are exceedingly dan gerous.
