Kf Wa have been requested to state by the Register of this county, that all persons having accounts to settle in the next Orphans’ Court, must band theni in on dr before tho lOth insti Confession 1 op Perrier, the Murderer Pebbier, the murderer of M’Namaba, ainco his conrioliop of manslaughter hitho jury that fried him, has made a full oonfesSfcn. The verdict of the jury disappointed most of our citizens, but yet as all the evidence produced on the part of the Commonwealth .was circumstantial, the jury no doubt felt it impossible, under the oath , they had taken, to find him guilty of murder, however just such a verdict would have been. The jury, wo feel satisfied, discharged their duty conscientiously, and, notwithstanding our belief that the prisoner deserved the severest penalty ot the law, wo feel no.-disposition .to And fault with the sworn gentlemen who com. posed the jury. . Perrier's confession amounts to this On the evening of the 8d of Juno last, ho was in town, in company with several other troops of the Garrison. Ho had been drinking freely all evening and , for several days before. He had been engaged in a tight the Monday night pre vious, with Devlin, a fellow-soldier, and been roughly handled. Ho felt for revenge, and pur chased a dirk-knife with which ho intended to kill Devlin, or whoever should atta'ck him Ha mot Devlin in town on the evening of the murder, and drank with him several times, but appeared, afraid to attack him, for Devlin sits -pected him, and kept a sharp eye upon him. They separated about lIJ o’clock, and Perkieb proceeded in the direction of the Garrison, mad with himself that ho had not accomplished the object of his Visit to town. On his way to the Garrison; ho was overtaken by M’Namara, who had.alsd been in town drinking, but was never theless sober, and boro the character of a good natured and inoffensive man. A couple of oth er troops joined them'about this time, and the four proceeded on their way to tlio Garrison- After they had passed Bedford afreet, a dispute arose between M’Mamara and Perrier, when the former struck the latter. Perrier imme diately took hisknlfe from his pocket, and, (to . "So his own language,) “ get to work on his as- He-saya he has uo recollection of the ■ 'fiumber of cuts he gave him, but'the last cut was the fatal one, the blade of. the dirk having penetrated the heart,-causing death in a fewi . seconds. M’Mamara Cried “murder” when he I nas first struck by the knife,and (ho tiro sol diers who had been in company with tlio dispu tants, took to their heels. PimitiEn lost his cap during the scuffle, and returned, after' ho bad left, to search for it. Ho could not find it, and having examined his victim to see that he was dead, he proceeded to the Garrison and imme. finitely, went to his quarters. He was arrested soon after, and has been in jail ever since. This is about his statement, and no doubt it contains some (ruth and some lies. Perrier is a Frenchman, aged about 30, and is a well-built man, and no doubt a great scoun drel. His sentence is sis years to the Peniten- tiary. Congressional Conference.—'The Con ■ gressional Conferees .representing the Demc , cratic party,of this Congressional District, met at Bridgeport yesterday (Wednesday.)

The late rains have hot benefitted this “poor man’s crop” to any great as the plants were nearly dead before the rain set In. The editor of the American thinks that we consider ourself “the big dog in the editori al corps.” Don’t be alarmed, neighbor—we make no such pretensions.

It is also notorious that a number of northern manufacturers, among whom iwas the great firm of Lawrence, Stone & Co., raised over $75,009, and sent an agent to Washington to boro especially for a reduction of Hie tariff. Other borers also went on, most conspicuous among whom was Horace Greciy, [no w so loud I in advocating a tariff,] and Thurlow' Weed, of the Albany Journal, the great chief of the On position in Now York. Tho bill reducing the tariff rates was presented in the House of Rep resentatives by Hon. Lewis D. Campbell, of Ohio, (lie acknowledged Black Republican loader of that body,who advocated its passage through out. Henry Winter Davi|, of Maryland, the Know-Nothing leader, also sustained it, and tho final vote shows that it received a pretty gen eral support from the Opposition, excepting the Pennsylvania delegation, sohio.of whom voted in tho negative. Two of them, however, Mr. Grow, of Bradford, and the Rev. John J. Pearce, dodged tho vote entirely. Tlio Democratic dele gation was divided, some voting for, and others against the measure. In the Senate the bill was reported by William H. Seward, of New York; but on the final vote his name is found against it. His colleague, however. Senator Fish, as well as Sumner and Wilson, of Massachusetts, and nearly every other Opposition Senator, vo ted for the bill. Tlio Pennsylvania Senators, Messrs., Bigler and Brodhead, both spoke against it, and both voted against it j— (see Appendix for 1856-’57, page 358.) In the face of all these facts, is it hot a piece -of effrontery, not to say impudence, almost without a parallel, to i fry to saddle the passage of the present, tariff( Upon the Dcniocratic parly I As to the charge, that the American Republican party supported last fall, an “open and avowed free tradesman'for Governor,” it is simply untrue—nor can the Volunteer man ad duce the shadow Of proof to support it. Ifo made a lame effort last fall, but all the proof he ever brought forward was his own unsupported assertions. . These were reiterated through the whole campaign, and doubtlesss had all the ef fect desired, upon his stupid. votaries.—Ameri can. • • During the Gubernatorial campaign last fall, we charged David Wilmoi with being a “free trade man,” and w e,proved it, by publishing the free-trade speech he had, delivered in Con gress, and also by quoting from the columns of -Whig papers. We think the American is abou t the only paper in the State that has been reck : less fenou'gh to gainsay the [charge we profered against Mr. Wilmoi. Several opposition pa pers atleiiipted to answer us last fall, and, wiih the exception of the American , they admitted that Mr. Wilmqi had favored a free trade policy, blit that he had, all of a sudden, been convinced of his error, and become ah advocate ofa high protective tariff! The 'American, | however, took ground, in the face of truth and evdence, that Mr. Wilmot'had never 1 been a free-trade man, and ou'rgeighbor sticks'to this position yet! It worth while to bandy vrords with one who; without attempting to prove his assertions, contents himself wi(h°re plying ‘'untrue, ” to /acts, that lie cannot and will nottlare deny, by argument. We repeat, )' Mr. Wilmot, when in Congress, was an open ! and avowed free-trader, and every Whig paper in the State called him, in derision, “free-trade Dave Wilmot,” and .some of .them recommen- ded that he should be banished.from the State, and others of them were for 1 lynching him. Notwithstanding his assertions last fall,.we be:, lieve he is still a free-trade man. and John M. tysAD—whose name is at the head of the Ameri can as its candidate for Judge—is “another of the same sort.” 3d Congressional District, Fiiila.

I q the President and Gentlemen of the Congres sional Convention of the Third District ; I am deeply sensible of the honor conferred in connecting my.name with-the represen fat i&n of the Third District in the Congress of the Uni ted States. Upon mature consideration, I most respectfully decline the honor intended. .'lp those friends, who, with a partiality far above my merits, have clung to me, and persist mgfy. urged my nomination, as well as the Con vention that entertains it, it is due I should state the reasons that induce my deolpnsioni Firtl It is a custom, never in my recollec tion departed from, to nominate for a second term faithful Congressional Representatives. The present Honorable incumbent has been emi. nently faithful, and X can allow no selfish con siderations to imperil his success. Second —l regard party discipline as essential to success, and while no . one in our party will allow a greater freedom of individual opinion, yet with Jefferson and Burr, I believe that we should “ yield implicit obedience to the will of the majority.” Without such “ implicit obedi ence,” there could have been, and can be, no Democratic party—no triumph of Democratic measures. The present Honorable incumbent, in the last session of Congress, voted with the vast majority of his Democratic colleagues, thereby maintaining party discipline, and I can not consent, that the uso of my name should di rectly or indirectly result in the nomination of any one who holds individual opinion as para mount to party fealty. Those are the controlling reasons (hat induce me to withdraw my name from the list of nomi nees, and as my time and energies were freely given to the triumphant election of Mr. Bucha nan. so will I rejoice in the nomination, and aid in the election of one who has never faltered in his duty to the Administration and our party Very respectfully, your obt. servl.- CHAS.

In Frcebourn county, it raged as a tornado, tearing down' fences, flattening corn fluids, demolishing gar dens, and doing much other damage. In fair field.

The desire of honorable distinction, says the Washington Union, is deeply planted in.tho hu man heart; and when secured by worthy moans wo cannot say it is not commendable. It is un doubtedly the parent of many useful acts, if not the main-spring of mnidy and patriotic exer tion. This motive pervades all classes, and has been manifested in-all ages and in every coun try. The means of acquiring distinction de termines the qualities of the heart of him who seeks It, and it is seldom that those are long concealed. Tlio motive of action are usually clearly seen by calm and close observers; and especially in the political world. Mon socking distinction-often forget, however, that others can penetrate their motives through ail the dis guises wifii which they attempt to conceal them. Politicians often desire (hat the country shall credit to their patriotism what should bo charged to their ambition. They do not seem to realize the fact that the public will keep their account correctly, however erroneously they may state if. When a political man seeks to secure to him self special distinction, not shared by his parly, the.motive becomes ns apparent ns (ho-sun-in a Clear sky at noon j ho covets a tamo which the principles of his party will not.confer. ITo in effect says : lam -wiser and better, than.my party, and desire the world to know it.” In stead of going with his friends upon the com mon road,.and sharing with them the labors and honors oftheir common position, he mounts an elevation by the way, and calls upon them to look at their,superior, and then suggests they bad bettor follow h|m. ,Ambition, arid not merit, has been committing these mistakes in all past time, and seems destined to continue to do so. - , In some high positions, temporary distinction ins boon acquired by these means, but no man ias been made President of <£ho United States by rosorting' to them. Not a man has secured that high station by assuming a special perfec tion which was not common to his political [ party ; and no one lias been elevated to it except by the united energies of his party acting upon ground common to all its members. It is the party, anil not'tho ambitious aspirant,-who select their common principles, and, if ejected, to carry their views practically into effect. The Democratic party has elected eight Presi dents, (Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Burcn, Polk, Pierce, and Buchanan,) not one of whom sought to stand upon special’ ground, or to occupy a position above tliat com mon to his associates. They were elected be cause they harmonized with the whole Denio 7 cratic party in its principles and .acts, and pos- Sessod.snporior qualifications for executing their wishes in administering (he Government.. They had, in all positions held by them, performed every duty' assigned them: in the best possible manner, thereby acquiring an enviable lame which no seeker after special distinction ever obtained. It was their devotion to file princi ples approved by the whole party, and not an attempt to establish a superiority over a portion 1 of it, that secured them the higli positions decu pied by them. They wore laborers in the parly, and tho faithfulness with which they performed their duties pointed them out as atandard-beaf ers, and . worthy of the highest honors their countrymen could confer. They did not call upon their brethren to accept them as loaders and guides, but were and were called for by tho masses. No man of either patty who has sought the Presidency by tip. as superior to his feftpws has been, or ever will be, elected President. Tho experiment,has been often fried and always failed, Those in Congress, or elsewhere who start movements to attract attention ,to themselves for the Presidency, forgot that the public will see through all disguises they may.contrive, and detect tho object, and will charge it to their selfish motives rather than credit it to pairiotlc ones. Most men who engage in them, instead of malting political lose what they, hai previously acquired. Some sink into obscurity, while others, stung by disappointment,- seek to destroy the party which refused to follow them and in the end form a portion of the' common, enemy.; This has occurred from the,days of Benedict Arnold, aiid will continue to occur while selfish ambition exists., ' Although it may not always be the jntention, in taking the first step, to Join the eneiiiy, the second ono usually takes them there. ■ ‘ . If there are Democrats seeking .special dis tinction upon grounds .not occupied .by thc : great body of their party, we invito them-'to pause and reflect, before making a mistake which has ruined fen where all the exertions' of tlie common.enemy prostrated one, during the last sixty years. If the .heart is right they will avoid tlie first as Well as the second step in the road which lias ever proved fatal. Reflection' will teach them Hint the place of safety and suc cess is among those friends who cherish'the same principles and are devoted, .heart and soul, to the maintenance of the same measures. Cot. J. F. Cautkk.— We were exceedingly gratified to learn that during a recent visit of Col. J. F. Carter, to his former home in .Wil liamsport, in this State, he was honored with a public reception by the Woodward Guards oi that flourishing town. The occasion was em braced by erotvds of the citizens of WiliiamsT port, to pay their respects to ono who has heen so long identified with tlie rising fame and pros perity of that town. Col; Carter was formally introduced to his old friends and fellow citizens by Major Hepburn M’Cl lire; and responded in a’ feeling speech tor the unexpected honor con" terrod upon him. The demonstration was a very enthusiastic one, and will no doubt prove highly gratifying to (lie Colonel’s numerous trionds in Washington and this State.
