presume, know! It was- upon such
false assertions tbd Bill was passed—
an outrage and disgrace upon Beaver
county. This outrage and disgrace
was perpetrated by citizens of Beaver

Cam/Hopkins, Ludlow and others en
tgaged to perfect it. Will-the people
■of Beaver county jforget|it?
, editor, qt the ■ Star is very
indignant, and spreads himself won
derfully, about the Sjfrest of Soileau,
of the Philadelphia Evening Joutnal,
foi writing and publishing treason.
In this case Ml. Boilfeau’s fricnd»?aro
mui£h more exercised than he ia .him
self. In fact, be admits in bis retrac
tion to Gen. Schenek, which 'the Star,
designedly, we,presume, omits to men
tion, that the arrest,,was Just. Why.
then, ddqathe the Star got
into terrible rage-? Is he mbre
interested, bottcrjndge of treason,
right and ’Wrong,| than, the principal
himsclf—Me. T .In his article
•the editor uses ■ this re
‘ e ave read
or that is the
! arrest was made, and
“while w]n>«nnpf: «ppnw« or endorse
.not think it dauhin t»vn
p '‘pliobablo cause’lor arrest'.’’ Tfthere j
j is any one doubted before the legality
jof the arrest , they need do so no more.
The editor of the Star can’t endorse
Mr. Boileaii’s article 1 Is no*, that ev
idence enough to,, convict any inan ?
|We are surprised, and gratified like-'
i wise, to learn that our neiglihor could
i not go quite so far as some others of I
fhis party. There is really a length,
j he won’t go against the
I government. It isj- really encoura
ging! beg leave to change
■'him, slightly. Mr. Boi
releSse, says in bis ed
s retraction was volnn
i aTJriioniDemocrat.and
s as the ono'ln s queWion
find a place iiHns pa
per 'Vy nssecj since the retraction,
and avowal- ot‘limon sentiments,. Mrvj
trends Bd the'Lcgislatnre,
who were so much outraged at his ar
rest, are now equalJyNxUidignant aji
hiihj-and many of them refuse fiPUike
liis'papcr longer. He avowed himself
a union man, anil they again f
him. We expect the Star wil
its readers next week of his conver
sion |o liepnblicaniam. i . When a man j
once declarWhimsolt intercourse j
with Democracy ceases. " .
The "editor of the Star is mistaken
when bo says tbo Lcgislaturd'passed
lesolutions condemning tbo arrest.—
They passed nonsuch resolutions.—
Again, he jitatos ..the Court ordered
the to prepare bills
of indictmdbt against• Gen. Scbcnck
and others. iJudge Ludlow made that
'order, but 1)0 was only one of throe,
and the other two ma.de > different
order. " - 1 ■
jgrThe 'editor of the Star is great- *
ly exercised about arming thenogroes- 1
4t is a fearful thing, baiu’t it, Brother ,
Long? Niggers were’not made to ■
be killed. It is.much betler to "make
the white soldiers-do all jthe fighting
—do all the the work and undergo
all the hardships. . They are jhsttoade
for itfand we ftro ndl going; to allow
any others to interfere. What if the
negroes could save 2- the lives of. fifty
thousand white soldiers, it would not
be right to allow tlTetn to do it. Anig
ger shan’t save the life of a white man,
no how. Wj» suppose Hr. Long,
if he was drowning, would droirn
rather than let a nigger rescue him
So you would: Mr. Editor there is
nothing like assorting your rights,and
showing ydur superior! ly over others..

an editor of a paper in Philadelphia,
was arrested for hia lreasonable teach

there:was quite a flutter among the

it is not sufficient, it.would seeni, that
such <chap» should sympathise with
