The last week's Gazette has a long article
attempting to ciiticise the conduct ot' 001.
John W. Foruey, and reading him out of the
party for opposing the outrageous attempt of
.lames Buchanan, to force upon the people of
Kansas a constitution against their veil I, and
which they hare tin ice t ejected. This is de
cidedly rich, to say the least of it John W.
Forney has all his life long been a Democrat—
'•tie of the strictest sect of Looofocos, and al
ways supported the principles and candidates
of his party, right or wrotig; but this Lccomp
ton swindle was a little too much for even him,
and he has honestly opposed it, knowing that
nothing hut its defeat would save his patty.— -
'1 he cream of Ihe juke in its reading him
'Ut of the party lies in this: 1. F. Meyers
was, un'il iate iu the campaign of 1856, an
active Know Nothing—instituting Councils
and making .speeches. lie had previously been |
a W big. and a Republican, and is, as is seen by
iho above, a Locofoco of only a few months'
standing! the other editor of that paper, G.
°W."Beuford, although he has not belonged to
kpiitc sc many different parties as Meyers, is
only * Locofoco of but a very few years'stand
ing. He commenced political life a few years
ago as one of the publishers of the Somerset
flcrald, a decided Whig journa'! These are
the men who take upon themselves the exceed
ingly-doubtful ta>k of reading John W. Forn
ey cftf of' his party. Their attempt to do so
reminds us of the litl dog lurking at the
moon!
SE R lOUS'ACU IDE NT.
We learn from our friend, Capt. John A. :
Osborn, thai a very serious accident occurred ;
on the Six .Mile Run branch of the Broadtop j
Railroad, in this County, on the 30th ult. It
appears that two young mm, by the names of :
Ira Foster and Samuel Long, Loth residents of :
that neighborhood, wt-re employed iu loading !
cars with hoop pedes, sud after getting one J
loaded, they on the front of it, and two j
others got ou'behind for the purpose of brak
ing. By some moans the. brake would not I
work, and the result was that the car ran off; j
the two men behind threw themselves ff but
T&stained little injury. The other two in front i
could not get off, and when they catuc down to *
the main road at Riddles burg, they came iu
contact with four other cars. The collision
was fearful, and youug Foster had his leg bro- j
ken above the knee, while the other, Samuel
Long, wbu is only about 14 years of age, had
one thigh broken hi two places; the other was
also btnken and bis left foot badly crushed.
They were Conveyed to their homes, and the
wrvii'citil a couple <>t medical gentlemen cal
led into requisition. Foster appears to be do
ing well, but Lang's recovery is considered
'doubtful.
Ttic Gazette last week attempted to account
for the defeat of its editors' lately adopted par
ty, ic ibis Borough, by saying that eighteen
Faocofoeos left the Borough, and consequently
c'id not vote. They may have had that many
less votes than they had last fall, but accord
ing to the Gazette's own showing, eight of
'their men voted for our ticket, which leaves
-nly ten who voted for them last fall, that
were ndt at the polls this Spring. The most of
hcae have left the Borough, and lost their res
idence. The gains arc all in our favor.
Mr. Meyers' bowels yearn in compassion for
the few traitors that were beaten. This is all
natutal. Mr. Meyers' treason to the Whigs,
the Republicans, and the Know Nothings, has
also been quits leeeut, and a "fellow-feeling
makes us wondrous kind!"
After writing to persons in this District that
"all the sympathies of his heart" wore with
die Free State men iu Kansas, Wilson Ueiily
has basely betrayed them. What was the re
ward! Who knows? Thanks, however, to
the free, unbought, unpurcL-asaMe men iu the
House of Representatives, Wilson Reilly's
treason did not accomplish its object, and
Heaven, wo hope, will preveut it in the future.
We were last week tnd week before, the
guest of D. J. Chupman, Esq., of Philadel
phia. DAM is a clever fellow, and always
knows bow to do the nice thing, to members of
■the ci aft, as well as to all others.
A DLHLV DOUOU-FACK.— Beef Bigkr, last
week stated iu the Senate, that ha dosired to
see Kansas eome into the L'uion os a Slave
State'
S. MtGibbons, Esq., City Auditor of
Giucinoati, has our thanks for a copy of his
Report.
If I'irt news of the defeat of Lccompton
tuns beer, received tit different parts of the
I : rami by the firing of cannon and general jol
l.lL-iUion. The hearts of the people are
against- Lccompton. The administration is
growing .weaker tveiy day.
WANTED AT HOME.
The following gentlemen, who have misrep
resented Pennsylvania at Washington, are
wanted at home. They will return, doubtless,
at the close of the present scssiou, uover ugain
to return to the seats which, by voting for Le
compton, they have disgraced. The following
are the names of these enemies toffreedom, not
of the servile blacks of the South, but white
men, as gootl citizens, and as much entitled to
all the privileges of citizeus as themselves.—
Mark the names: Mr. Bigler, of the Senate-
Messrs. Ahl, Dewarr, Dimmick, Flotcnee,
Gillis, J. Glaney Jones, Landy, Loidy, Phil
lips, REILLY and White,of the House. Come
home, gcntlamen, tlm cup of your shame is
full and QVCI flowing.
WHAT CRITTENDEN'S AMENDMENT IS.—
The force of Mr. Crittenden's amendment
should be thoroughly understood. We find in
the Washington Union the f Rowing statement
cf its provision®, and it is a fair one: "tt is
voluminous tit terms, but simple iu actual pro
visions. It provides that the Lccompton Con
stitution shall be submitted to tle white main
inhabitants of the T'-mtarv, resident there
thtce months, and citizens of the United States.
If a majority approve, then Kansas is to be ad
mitted as a State, by proclamation oi the Pies
dent.
"If, on the contrary, a majority disapprove,
then a Convention is to bo called to fiuiue a
new Constitution, which, in turn, is to be .sub
mitted to u like vote of the inhabitants."
DA\"G£R AHEAD. —Die llarrUburg Demo
cratic Union is fearful that the Democracy of
out State will be fatally disrupted by a secret
political association into which its party friends
have crept lor bad purposes. Possibly it may
be the "Molly Maguire" association, and if so,
is an old one, which has not been able to nuke
much progress out of 'he ci'y of its birth. But
hear the Union:
"There is a secret society in Pennsylvania,
which, whatever its ultimate object, must have
for effect the disruption of the Democratic par
ty. Unless it. is cheeked, it will array the
united North against the South, and present
an insurmountable barrier against the harmo
nious action of the great party of this confed
eracy. Prominent Democratic politicians arc
engaged therein, and would wreck all, in their
short-sighted madness, fo r the purpose of car
rying otvt t'ueir ridiculous resolves."
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Harrislurg w: s visited with a serious fire on
Tuesday night last. The flarri-bnrg -Tele
graph says-
Tbo fire originated in a small frame stable,
belonging to M Gowan's Hotel, on the corner
of Sacoud and Chestnut streets; and with such
rapidity did the flames spread, that tluee ad
joining building", belonging to Messrs. Jutise
aud Myers, were cu veloped before the Bremen i
could bring their streams to play upon them.
From these, several frame buildings in the rear
took fire, and soon after the flames communica
ted to the' Presbyterian chinch, on Second St.
This edifice could have been saved, hud the
fire apparatus been of the propct efficiency, as
the cornice only of one end first took fire; but
the hose of the Citizen burst, and a stream
could not reach that height-, liere, as well as
the frame building back of it, the destruction
was rapid, the roof ami cupola being soon en
veloped in a sheet of flame, and as the creep
ing tire mounted to iho top of the cupola, a
thrilling giaud s : ght was presented, yet appal
ling to many a heart who witnessed it.
Both on Second and Chestnut, in the alleys
adjoining, and Mulberry street below, there
was an extraordinary busy sceue, iu the efforts
to save the property endangered, an>i most
gallantly and nobly did the firemen and citi
zens generally, lend themselves to the task.—
At one time it was feared the whole range of
frame buildings in the rear of the church, be
tween Chestnut aud Mulberry, and between
Second and Thiid, would share the fate of
those iu which the firo originated. It is impos
sible to estimate the amount of property de
stroyed aud injuied by removing it from the
buildings endaugered. Positive losses we have
been able to glear: with some precision.
The stable iu which the fire originated was
worth but very little, being just such an affair
as would tempt an incendiary.
Mr. Samuel Myers, at the ectner of the al
ley, had a shoe store, with a stock worth $2,-
000. Building and articles partly destroyed.
He had an insurance of 5400.
Mr. Ludwig Weltz, baker, lost some fifteen
barrels of flour, meat, furniture, <fcc., altogeth
er some 5500. No insurance. The building
belonged to the Bridge Company, having been
-old some two weeks ago, by Mr. C. Kbberly.
There was an insurance upon it of 51,000,
nearly covering the los*.
Mr. Juhn Jauss, house and furniture de
stroyed and broken. The'loss is about 52000.
Insured fur 51000.
Mr. Fetter, a tenant of Mr. Jauss, lost eve
rything in his house, valued at some 5200.
Mrs. Fox, widow of Sheriff Fox, oacupicd a
small house in the yard of Mr. Jauss. ller
son and she reside together, and had already
retired. Tltey were re-cued with some diffi
culty, although the house, being built of brick,
withstood the devouring element.
Lucas Ivoenig, brewer, whose whole premi
ses were iu imminent peril, is indebted to the
untiring efforts of the firemen fur its safety.
I His loss is slight, some say §2OO, which is ful
ly covered by insurance.
The Presbyterian Church, which was totally
destroyed, was insured iu the Pennsylvania and
Franklin Insurance Co., at Philadelphia, for
57000. The library was saved, together with
; two melodeoßß, an i nearly all the cushions and
, furniture.
The fire was the work of an incendiary, and
curtain suspicious circumstances occurred which
will be zealously investigated. An attempt
was made on last Friday morning to firo the
same building, aud it is to bo hoped that the
miscreant or uiiscrcauts may be traced to their
fancied security, and that condign punishmeut
bo meted out to them which tbrir dastardly net
deserves.

The House then adjourucd.
Mr. Crittenden's amendment as passed was
materially iuiprtvtd una modified since it was
first offered in the Semite. Instead of saying
thai the Couetifotion with which Kansas is now
admitted shall be submitted to th#l popular vote
it relets to it merely as a Constitution framed
:at Lecoiujitop. It prcveuts leas than n mojor
itj of the Bnard ot Commissioners from certy
fying the vote ou the Cousiiiutiou to the I'res

of any demands tor compromises as conditions

Senate b.ll absolutely.
HON. WILSON HWLLI.
By refcrt nee to tha Congressional pro
ceedings in mother column, it will be seen
tut-t our Representative, Mr. p,eilly, has given
his adhesion to the Lecompton Constitution !
•After stimulating the highest hopes and the
fondest expectations among his constituents as
to his uncompromising opposition to this fraud
-and swindle, and afterwards strengthening
those hope* und expectations b.y his several
votes on Mr. Harris' Resolution—after all this
he has "broke down," "caved in," and now
bows submissively, to the iron rule of the
Slave Drivers! O, con.-istency, thou urt a
jewel . 1 lie Spirit says:—"Our 'Predictions,
in respect to the course our talented rep
rescutaitve in Congress would pursuo on the
Kansas question !n\e been verified." Our
neighbor knew better, probably, than most
people, what kind of influences were brought
to bear to produce such a change iu the scnti
nient of "our talented representative," and
wr uIJ 'h trefore judge whether they woul 1 be
likely to prove suffioi*Jt!y potent, to warrant
such a "prediction." One thing is certain,
every word, every sentiment, every declaration
that 11c ever made to any person even whore,
when he *j.okc at all upon this subject, was iu
terms the most emphatic in eondimhatiou of
the Locoiupton fraud. He declared hiumclfas
"xoeiscibntici/isly opposed to it," uu l even with
cursas he denounced the swindle.
Me append the following remarks from the
pen ot John \V. Forney, which appeared iu bis
paper, The Press, of Saturday last, because
they are L-tter than anything we can ray with
reference to this singularly straoge and, t-_- us,
unaecuiioi.ihlc desertion of Mr. Reiliy on this
impoi'Mtit question :
"The shameful defection on ibe Kansas is
sue of the Representative from tho 17tn dis
trict of i'ennsylvania, though not entirely un
expected, tnust call for'h the hearty condem
nation of his constituents. Mr. Keilly knows
very well that the sentiments of the speech
which Im pronounced on Wednesday night in
favor of th" Lecompton swindle, must shock '
rudely the Democratic sentiment of the couu- i
ties Which be professes to represent His first
votes, which we:c co:isitenely iu favor of the
right, elicited a response or admiration through
out his district, and contributed to cement be
tween the Representative and his constituents
a strong boa I of sympathy and friendship.
"Had lie remained steadfast to the cause of :
justice, had he continued faithful to the manly
position ho voluntarily assumed upon the qucs- '
tion of Col. Harris's resolution, there would
have been no public >crvaut more gratefully '
remembered or more highly honored by the '
honest-hearted masses of his district. Ry his
present political ■miierset Mr. Reiliy seals in- J
evitubiy his Congressional cnreei—a fete to !
which he liimsclt is not blind or in'scusible, for j
in his public sell stultification, and recantation j
of the pledges he once so freely made, he bar !
the effrontery to tell his constituents, if tliev 1
do not like him, they can grt somebody better !
to fit! his place.
••This we regard as u piece of gratuitous in
sult, for after m iking what is equivalent to a
candid admission that ha is openly and boldly
betraying his trust, the only" course for
him to pursue, consistently with personal hon
or, would be to resign his seat at once, und
allow his constituents an opportunity of having
their voice fairly expressed upon the com
manding issue of the day. In holding ou to
his place, therefore, be forfeits all self respect
and sacrifices, at tho vaate lime, the regard of
all in his own district whose good opiniou 7s
worth having.
"Such a sacrifice ought tb have some satis
factory counterbalancing advantages to break
the fall of the victim. What these may be,
we presume tine will show. The account with'
those whom he is anxious to sn vo may be ea
sily, and perhaps, to Mr. lteilly, satisfactorily
settled, but the account with his couseience
and hi* constituents, which must be met, will
take more time and be far tuorn difficult to ar
range."
O, what a fall!—-from a conscientious oppo
nent down to tho support of all the iufamies,
frauds, murders, arsons, andoutrages that have
Deen perpetrated in Kansas, culminating in the
Lecompton Constitution ! Mr. RxiLLY note
maintains that that instrument is 'legal,' ami
that if Kansas is admitted under tt, she can al
ter or amend it at pleasure. We should like
to know what kind of arguments were used to
effect sueh a change iu iiis mind as to its 'le
gality.' Every thing that has been developed
relative to it, for months past, has beeu an ko
cumulatiou of the most clear, indubitable evi
dence, successfully con tt overling this point.
To his cont!tuents it wiil seem strange that
this overwhelming testimony as to its beti.z a
swindle and a fraud, should have just the op
posite effect upon his mind. 'As to the power
of the people to alter, amend, or reject it after
warda—that is hut a tub thrown out to aiuusc
the whale—and if you please, to appease his
outraged conscience— foralf tcuow that,if adopt
ed, it cannot be alrered before' ifiG4, union by
revolution, and this Mr. BULLY knows very
well.
1 OR.NET truly a ijs that *3llOll a aaerifi.'e
ought to have some satisfactory counterbalanc
ing advantages to break the fall of the victim
and these 'counterbalancing advantages,' we
have ho doubt, have been, '.-aiisfaetorilv set
