This be ing undeniably established, it behoove The Democratic party to set themselves right. A county convention should be called, and res- , ohnifins passed denouncing the , actions of, Odell, and measetes taken for the establish ment of another phpbr that will faithfully and honestly contend for the principles of the party and the interest of the people. Unless this is done, tree Democrats should and will cut themselves loose from ix,trty ties and act independently and estahligh a sepal.- hte organization on a Free Rallrotid platform, and in opposition to the monopoly.

WAS fentY was composed of a mother and seven 'OM; nen:— lleir. Anderson, ript:btfors;but. after the hus band left the helpless ..ones, went over there to seize property to: liquidate his -claim On arriving on the ground, no prop erty, save four large hogs, which the family had acquired some months before, presented itself, and these were levied upon at Mr. A's. instance by the constable who seccurepanfed , him. The hogs were very thrifty; and the ' . wife' and children had taken everr.pains with them that they poisibly:could to bring them - forward, so that their meat at hmst, tor the winter, would be provided for. They grew finely, and when taken from the family by the "Cruel law" they were worth $5O. Now remember that Mr. A's. claim was but, s4o,and then determine who; steered in consequence of this procedure.. The bogs were !old, the .family, if destitute before, was now more des_ titute still ; and they looked forward to the coming of the chilling blasts Of winter as do those trom whose hearts hope has departed. I do not say that the bogs teU for $5O; I only say that the neighbors believed them worth $5O to the family under the circumstances. Nor did Mr. A. after this, send "goods enough to the woman to.ciothe all her little ehildren." He did send what the lady now:believes Lobe "three dollars -worth" of .goods to, her after the occurrence above related, but she has nev er made ,use of -the "eharity",eztended under, these circumstances. The "goods" have never been made up, and I presume never will be, by the family to whom they were sent . , - The Least'. version of the affair 1 iff.then at - fault in these partitulars The debt 'due 3[r. Anderson was contracted by Mr. 31., himself. That paper seeks to convey the idea _that this levy was made before Mr. 31., left his family, when the truth is the property was seized lef-- ter he was gone. , The debt amounted to $4O. The Local holds Out the idea that but property enough was taken to pay s- portion of this Sum while the neigborssay *5O -worth was sacrificed in the operation. -The Local claims that 31r. Anderson then, sent the woman "goods enough. to clothe all her little chil dren ;" *idle the lady who was the recipient , of the favor, says that $3 worth was' all she received. I would like also to know why these -hogs were brought over to Beaver, and why I no return of their sale or.-other disposition was ever made to the family from whom they .were taken. ' I may also add, that the $8 Worth of goods above referred to, were only. sent after Mr. A. had learned of the 'intense indignation in Phillipsburg, which this 'sale -and levy- had. excited. The goods were sent to appease thrit indignation . - - . to' the latter. We deny this indignantly, and to Prove that we are willing andfanxious to treat Mr- A. truthfully and ,fairfy, we limy' ; state that a day or two after the above coin -1 ] munieation was • brought to this efliee, we thoUght there might be some misreprenta -1 lions in it, and to avoid doing Mi\-Anderscin ; the least injusticeove sent a gentleman over . i to Phillipsburgwith it and 'requested him to . raid it to thelady referred to, and if there was i ~ a single misstatement 'in the commtinipi Lion to have her make the' proper torrec- 1 tion. Ile dills!), and it now appears as re= i vised by the lady whose . property:AVas seized i and taken. * • Is Tni: General UOVin ernenelavoutes Ha i ble for the old peace debts of the rate! States, by abolishing their State Governments and taking their goverinuent into Its own hands, as Mt. Jblinson suggests, we suppose that by the same ! law the States will take on the lia bility again as soon as they reconstruct their governments. 'As all'our measures are to bring about such reconstruction, and as ii is intended, that the work shall be done within 'the present year, and as it may bc, if Johnson will cease his diversions to, hinder; A is hard lv worth while to make two shifts of this lia bility for so short a probation, especially as• the control of the State taxes would have to' go with 'it .But if the United States becomes liable for these State debtA of course it comes in pos s&ssion, of the control of the Slate taxation, to pay them. Mr. Johnson has, like Petrucio's tenor, "timed many thingai":.bat he will not face the people with the pretense that the' National Government will, become liable for the State debts because it has taken their gpv eminent into their hands, withoutacquirmg ,also a right to tax them for payment of their debts. In Its completeness the idea is vastly better than Mr. Johnson intends. • For these rebel States are now definaltets in the payment of the interest. Their mss is the distresaand exhatistion they brought Upon themselvesby rebellion. The United States suffers-in fame by their dishonor. `tribe National Govern ment should in view clads liability tat. system in motion topay,-this inte pat a rest, an should insist that when State governmentsd take possession they audit bind themselves to keep it upend to sacredly apply the proceeds, It would greatly improve .the 'honesty of theseStritesand thegenerul reputation....
