The Parker Girls—Supporting the Honor of the
LIM
The Democratic State Committee,
in enumerating the many public ser
vices of Gov. Bigler, allude to his.no
ble defense of the honor of the State,
when Gov. Loire Maryland, reffised to
deliver up the notorious McCreary
who stood charged with the abduction
of the two colored girls of Chester
county, Elizabeth and ItachelParker.
We think the comniittee are pushed
when they are oblio-ed to refer to that
letter as an achievement meriting the
liighe;t honors, when we consider the
contemptuous manner in which it was
treated by Gov. Lowe, and the sudden
ness with which Gtiv. Bigh-r dropped
the subject when he found it to he dis
tasteful to the Southern allies.
, The
sovereignty of the State had been in
vaded by a notorious outlaw ; two of
its citizens, entitled to the protection
of the laws, had been hurried into -a
state of slavery ;. one of them had been
sold and sent to New Orleans ; Mr.
Millet . , a citizen of Chester county, an
inipiirtaiit witness, had been murdered
in a most flagitious manner—and yet
when the cause and author of all these
atrocities was demanded in the name
of our violated and insulted laws, and
the State of Marviaud refuses to re
mand him for trial, Governot Bigler
tamely contents himself with a simple
letter to the Executive of that State,
acknowledging it to he an infringe
ment of our constitutional rights, as
well as all our ideas of justice. And
here he drops the subject ! Governor
Lowe retires to return McCreary, and
not a whimper escapes the high digni
tary in ‘vinise hand the people of Pettii- .
sylvania had entrusted its dignity acid
honor. McCreary goes at large,
'wasting . of his triumph over the laws
our State ; and we know not when lie
will again cross our borders, invade
,or houses. and carry off our citizens,
as ate, has frequently done heretiin ire.
.Aly other man but Gov. Bigler, would
have nride the insulting conduct of
Gov. Lowe the subject of an indignant
appeal to the people, or of a message
to the Letri:lature. The relit-I of Gov.
Lowe to obey the national compact,
would have been held up to the
cen
sure of the nation. Ire chose to pitek
et the insult, and in his message at the
ensuing- session, we find not one word
ia denunciation of the conduct of Ma
ryland, or in vindication of the rights
of our State ; indeed the subject is not
inemioni:d ! So much for this praise
or the Governor, by thi,: red.inidable
roil long-winded committee, ! Were
il• State of Penn ;vlvania to refuse to
deliver up the ah,loctor of a slave, w
sh o uld never hear the last of it ; d
the I 'Mon would he emlingered. Our
tillers quell the srathering storm, and
our wrongs go miavenged ! rillage
run].
ut CouslN .1 osnu.t :—I have lots
of lieWS to write. 1 am bothered
:Mont where to begin, and where to
leave ofil I've never .systemized a
:zrate site, as you'll di•.cover. I will
jest leave oft when I get done ; then
you will find it out. Wall, sir, I'm in
the slate of Potter county yit. My
attachment grows every day. I have
no disposition to leave. and if I had,
it would n't do no good; I could n't
git no mosey to go with. Potter
comity is a grate county; it contains
a grate many folks for tile ?lumber of
inhabitants, and a grate detil of land
to the acre. The f,ilks here are mighty
cute, ; all kinds of bu , iness is
carried on in this county ; its SO nu
merous I WWII stop to mention, hut
will refer you to the editorials of the
Midi land Patriot. 'Fore I forgit. I
want to jest say, if you can't do nothin'
mintin' there, jest clue here; I
know a man what's made himself tile
up by printite a few papers ; he grad
uated down in Warren. Nothin' gain'
on in Warren, and he took it into his
head to start a paper here, and, sir, he
done it the first time tryin'. His name
is De Witt C..lammi. He and Mr.
Dent, who never emancipated his
tlaves, are smart editors; everything
vicious and rascally is in dun - time
zttended to, and when they can't find.
any rascals to pour out their vittuous
inilignashun on, then some .one they
tnliect might or could do S:omething
wrong, is lashed. By pursuing such
c. course they, have become impalar;
they have established a character that
will not be forgotten right away. And,
sir. what amazes me must, is that these
tivu editors should git so much honors
in so short a time. There is no pro
portion between the fame acquired
and the period spent in.the acquisition.
1 " lie honest„ dear Josh, Potter
county is a favorable place for a man
'l' acquire the reputation of a jackass.
I remain your faithful and obedient
tcyant, Oar.m.m.
MOT,E. TRICKERY.
An address to flue Teinperance men
of Pennsylvania, got up at Harrisburg
by Dr. John Patrick, an office-holder
under Bigler, represented that any
and all the candidates for Governor
were trustworthy On the Temperance
question. Mr. Patrick went to Phila
delphia with this address and . pre
sented it for signatures to sundry
prominent Temperance • men. The
mode of obtaining, signatures is thus
described by Robert M. Foust, Esq.,
whMe connection with the Temper
ance cause is well known
" When the p ,per was handed to me, I was
told it was prep .red for the purpose of pro
ducing united action at the ballot box in ftvor
of Prohibition in October, next. The signa
tures of a number of ny friends, but cite of
whom had ever been identified with the Hem
ocratic party, was attached thereto. And I
felt assured without due examination, the doc
ument was really in good faith intended for.
the purpootahove specified, and none other.
I was anxious for the appearance of an
address ea ealated 16 bring out the good old
rtshioned vo.o in favor of Prohibition, and
tep, , n this being represented to the as suitable fur
deal purpose ' and signed it as it had been by
men whose lead I had been 'amid on more
than one occasion to follow, I conceived it to
be my duty. to ..:ve it my sanction and op-
Foral. That the. addre s has been perverted
into an e'ec ionceritig machine for partisan
purposes wi bout the con:ent of the signers
thereto, is a matt. r deserving severe repre
heaiion. For myse'f, (the others tiny and
prob .bly will speak for themselves,) I aver, if
had any suspicion that the address was to
serve as a battery for the purpose of playing
upon the rinks of the Wing party or its can
didate for Governor, or that the action of the
State Convention at Harrisburg in June last
was thereby to be neurralized, or itt- any way
unftvorabty atreeted, I should have withheld
my name from it."
This method of obtaining signatures
under false pretense> is'wortby of the
State Administration. It is a fraud
itself, and can only succeed by fraud.

WE saw a Kingular article in the
Richmond Enquirer, the other (lay,
which paper is got, or apparently not
opposed to slavery. It contains these
words:
"Our own views are that slavery is
destined to be extended but not perpet
uated. Thou ands of square miles
will yet contain servitude from one
part of the human family to another,
%%here it does not now exist, yet shall
it not continue!"
Will the Enquirer have the good
ness to tell us when, 'whet e, and how
he thinks slavery will stop'? We are
interested in this matter, fir a friend
of ours has, in Marshall Co. 10,000
acres of land for Which he expects to
get an average of about $l5 an acre,
while land in Ohio, situated like that
in every respect, sells lire just $lO an
acre. Now, the diffetence would buy
all the slaves in Marshall Co. It
would make him the pretty little sum
of $250,000 clear,' and perhaps he
might be desirous of knowing whether
he mat• expect slavery - to cease any
time soon. All this region of country
is situated in like manner.— Il7teding

Wout.W.NT "SA nvr.."—Several
years ago, says the Lynn News, at a
town meeting in a neighboring town
an old fellow whom i lve shall call Mr.
Perkins, (because that was his name)
was informed by the moderator, 'in
open town meeting,' that he had been
elected surveyor of highways. He
arose and said,
" Mr. Moderator, I shall incline."
The moderator expressed great sat
isfaction, and hoped that he would im

office as some of the roads were in .a

"Very glad," continued the modem
