the President's policy. They also
nominated a full:ticket for State offi

tho part of the Convention last week
is equivalent to acquiescence, beCause
if they were opposed to it they would
have said so. Failing to do so they
must be held as the rest of their par

The following resolution, adopt
ed by the Republican convention of
this county, on Monday a week,
comes with a bad'grace from farmers
and mechanics, like most of them
are :
Reeolved, That we continue, as heretofore, the
friends of American industry against the compe
tition of low priced foreign wares ; and we have
less cause now than ever to do aught that may
build up British monopolies at the expense of
our own industrial prosperity.
Did they consider what they were
passing when they unanimously
adopted the above, or did they mere
ly accept it without thought, as it
was preseiated to them, drawn up by
one whose interests are probably as
different frem theirs as day is from
night. They declare that they, "con
tinue the friends of Americati manu
factures," and are "oppposed to the
introduction of low-priced " foreign
wares" to compete with our own.—
This all looks very well in theory,
bnt let us look a little at thDpractice.
One or two items will.snffice to illus
trate. The gentlemen of the conven
tion,or their Wives, may want some
muslins. If they step into any store
of the neighborhood they will ibe Ask
ed froin 37.1-2 -to-50 cent a yardfor
an article that:used 3 to. be boliglit,lor
12 1-2 to 15 cents. For prints they
will be' asked at least ihree times
what they paid formerly. Cottoais
now selling at42to 44 cents.a pound,‘
a price Which would enable the man
ufacturers to make, and sell at' a,
fine profit, the above goods at a Price
that
_the storekeepers could retail
them at one-half the price he is now
obliged to ask for them. The manu
facturer,- whoin the ~merdiers of
the convention resolve to
,stand by,
is the one who gets the enhanced
price, making at least 100 per cent.
on the manufactured article, and, as
the income returns show, some of the
mills in the Nev England states are
making, over $lOO,OOO per week. We
could go on and specify hundreds of
articles that enter - 'into'the family
consumption of Messrs. Bicksler,
Mark, Early, Rank, and their col
leagues, causing them often to make
long faces when they hear the prices,
and yet they are not only willing to
continue to pay thus exorbitantly, but
resolve and vote to make their fellow
men do the same. What return do
they receive for maintaining this tax
upon the . public, ' and which bears
most heavily upon the laboring class
es ? How would they be "injuring
American industry" and be "building
up British monopolies" by buying
their muslins at 20 cents a yard in
stead of - 40, and their calico at 15 in
etead of 25 and '3O cents ? What is
the remedy ? Instead - of passing
such resolutions, let Messrs. Bicksler
& Co., get up petitions praying Con
gross, which is soon to meet, to re
duce the tariff on all goods. which are
now manufactured' at an exorbitant
profit in this country, and they will
soon find - that Cotton, as well as a
good many other things, are no long
er Kings and Princes in this land of
manufacturing monopolies.

Convention of this County last week,
did not .intimate, whether it was op

have commended it'? Being oppos

stir For cool lying, some Republi
ean papers we know of have a happy
faculty. The Democracy have been
contending thaethe war ended the
moment the rebel armies under Lee
and. Johnston surrendered, and that
consequently the habeas corpus should
be restored, military commissions and
courts martial abolished, and the
civil law again be made supreme.—
We have thus been contending for
months, and in Philadelphia, aDemo
cratie Judge of the Supreme Court
decided that the "war was over,"
granted 'a writ of habeas corpus, and
arrested and ftned,an officer for refus
ing to obey it. All this on our side,
while the republicans have been con
tendinglor just the reverse. Now,
to make a point, these same republi•
cans suddenly veer round, abolition
ize their own wards and position, and
not only assert that the war is over,
but have the cool assurance to say
that the Democracy contend that it
is not over. Far reckless lying these
republicans take the rag off tbe hush.

tion in the Board, as is here implied,
at its late meeting. , i. Buchanan's
withdrawal &mai the presidency was
altogether of his own free choice, and
took place with entirely kind - feeling
on both sides. Having been contin

re-election, against his reiterated re
quest to be excused from the service,
he presented hie resignation finally,
on this Inutile; in a form too abso

accepted accordingly, after some hes

resolution, which may be left to
speak for itself:
n Resolved, That we receive with regret the re
newed request of the venerable President of this
Board to be released from the position he has so
long and acceptably filled since the formation of
our Institution in its consolidated form ; but as
this request has been reiterated for a number of
successive years, and as advancing age has a,
olaim to release from such more public duties,
we hereby respectfully accept the resignation of

past services, and the hope that he may 'be long

AN UNPLEASANT BED - FELLOW,
We are informed that a woman
named McFadden, in South White

of her house a few minutes, leaving
her child some ten months old, asleep
on a bed in a room. When she re-
turned the child was sitting up hi
bed playing with a large milk snake.
She at once slipped back and picked
up a hoe handle and went 'at the
monster, but his snakeship was too
quick for her, and slipped off the bed
and down through a hole in-the floor
before she could hit it. Mrs. McFad

A WIFE MUTILATES THE PERSON OF HER
HUSBAND,
A most disgusting crime was com
mitted in this city on Sunday night,
August 25, wbich created considera
ble excitement, and furnished' an
other evidence of the depravity of
human nature, and the tendency of
the times toward brutality and law
nessness.
W. Berlin, a Bohemian, is an hon
est, industrions man, and has worked
at his trade—that of a blacksmith—
for a year or more in Connolly's wa
gon shop, where he was highly es
teemed for his skill and close atten
tion to his work. He resided with
his family—a wife and one child,
about fourteen months old—on the
alley between Fifth and Sixth streets,
west of Main,
His wife is represented as a virago
of the worst kind, and consequently
they did not live together on the
best of terms. Some time in Februa
ry last, heleft the city for a few days,
and during his absence his' wife ad
vertised him as a runaway. Upon
his return he went to his borne,
where he has been living ever since
with his wife, without attracting pub
lic attention, and apparently in har
mony. *, On Sunday, night they re
tired to bed, nothing having occurred
during the day or evening to indicate
that Mre. , B. had matured in her
mind the fiendish design which she
put info, execution during the night.
About one o'clocic in the morning,
while her husband wiz lig, asleep,
she arose from. the lied, got 'a razor,
and infliaterrilerrible woinif upon
that part of her husband's body
which, according to the old Levitical
law would eidludo him from the
"congregation of the< Lord." She
then left taking with here all the
money in the house amounting to
abouts3so, and- up to this writing
has not been apprehended. Mr. B.

help himself in,.the deep water into
which he ventured. Th6y dragged

A SPOILED BOY.—Some months ago
a young mat about 19 years of age,
the son of respectable parents near
Bethlehem, forged the name of his
father to a note and sold it to a citizen
of Bethlehem. He spent the pro.:
ceedsun a , pleal3ure tour to Philadel
phia. When the note fell due it was
presented to the father, who at once
pronounced it a forgery, but in order
to, save the family from being dis
graced, he paid it. ,When the boy
returned his father had him arrested,
but he. was finally discharged with a
sharp reprimand - from the justice.—
But he did-ndt seem to' profit much
by this - kind treatment. A short
time thereafter he demanded some
money of his mother, threatening to
knock out her brains if she refused.
The old lady, through fear, complied
with his demands and =gave him the
i . noney. He came to Allentown, got
a woman of bad repute to go with
him to Philadelphia, where they
flourished until the money was all
gone, when he returned. On Yriday
morning last he renewed his demands
for money, this time patronizing his
father, whom he threatened to run
through with a pitch fork if he re
fused. Instead of handing over the
greenbacks the old gentleman went
to Bothlebemlnld _proeureit. a
rant for the arrest ofhis hopeful son.
The document sent him to the Eas
ton jail, where - he will have time to
study the scriptural injunction, "hon
or thy father and mother."
Tho soldiers who fought for

Mobile Advertiser, in reply to accu
sations against the South, says "so
far from "robbing the poor negroes
of their labor," the difficulty is to
get their labor for wages which
would be deemed exorbitant at the
North. The South is full of work to
be done, and in cities and on planta
tions the cry is for laborers for a lib
eral compensation. In the face of
this demand the negroes are roaming
about the country, or clustering a
round the towns, picking up a preca
rious existence, and, as a natural con
sequence, sickening and dying by
thousands. A gentleman just from
Memphis tells us that 26,000 of these
Nomads are squatted around the out
skirts of that city, the mon doing
nothing and the women - dependent
on what they can gain from the
troops. Sickness and death are hold
ing high carnival in their midst.—
And do we of the South not pity these
poor people ? From the bottom of
our hearts we do."
