SWOOPE AND THE PRESS.
TI. Bucher Swoope, in a speech recently
delivered at Philadelphia, in trying to
shield himself and company from the
charge of having been bought up, said :
" While speaking of this charge of corrup
tion, I wish to relate a circumstance that has
a bearing on the case. While in the city of
New V erk, not long since, on business, I fell
in with a correspondent of the New York
Herald—the man who wrote a series of let
ters from the State of Pennsylvania last fall,
lie became rery confidential, and, among
other things, he informed me that ho bad in
his possession a list of certain expenditures,
which was drawn up in tlio handwriting of
Ex-Governor Ford of Ohio. Mr. Rennet, of
the Herald, you may recollect, charged Gov.
Ford with having misappropriated the funds
furnished to subsidize the press of Pennsyl
vania, and this list of expenditures was pre
pared by Mr. Ford, and given to the gentle
man in whose possession I found it, for the
purpose of satisfying Mr. Rennet that the
money had been properly expended. That
list, showing the papers that wero bought,
and the amounts that were paid them, I shall
hare the pleasure of laying before the people
of the State with the proofs of its genuine
ness. You will remember that last fall car
tain papers in Berks, Lebanon, Lohigh, Dau
phin, Mifflin, and other counties suddenly
changed from the support of Filluioro to Fre
mont or Fusion."
The Gazette, as its files will show, put
up the ltcpublican ticket imme<fcutely un
der the Fillmore in .June, one week after
( %l. Fr< >i<mt! wns nominated, and then and
subsequently to the day of election, con
tinued to advocate a Union State and Elec
toral 'lieket, consequently we made no
'•sudden change," but still if Gov. Ford
left any money here for /.<, we hope Kwoope
will let us know in whose hands it was
placed. There were two papers here then,
the Gazette and the Aurora. Our course
was as stated above, as any one can satisfy
himself by calling at the office and exam
ining the file. I here eould therefore have
been no reason for buying the Gazette ei
ther to Fremont or Fusion, for it was both
from the start; but as there is said to be
one person here who ascribes Swoope's
statement to apply to us, we hold him,
Swoope, or any other one who asserts that
we were offered or received any money or
other valuable consideration for advocating
either Fillmore, Fremont or Fusion, to be
both LIAR aild SCOUNDREL.
Let the list be published, and the par
ties made known, so that justice mav be
done to all; and we pledge ourselves, so far
as the Gazette is concerned, if it will ap
pear that Gov. Ford has set us down am
ong the number, we will spend something
to know what he has done with the money.
Democrat professes to have au
thority—(has it Dr. Bower's ?) —that Dr.
Bower will not vote for an appropriation to
the Sunbury and Brie Railroad, and denies
that any letter signed by democrats has
been sent to him relative to that question.
To test the latter, we propose that Mr. A.
A. Banks answer the following questions
in the next Democrat or Gazette:
Ist. Were not sundry fqueries relative to
an appropriation to the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad—to the tonnage tax, &c., backed by
a number of democrats, propounded verbally
or in writing to Dr. Bower, and if so, what
was Dr. Bower's answer ?
2d. Was not such a letter drawn up and
signed. If so, what has bcconia of it?
3d. Did not Dr. Bower refuse to pledge.
himself to any course of action iu the Legis
lature ?
Let's have the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth.
Amendments to the Constitution.
The Legislature having, at the last two
sessions, adopted sundry proposed amend
ments to the Constitution, the amendments
will be submitted to the people at the Oc
tober election for their approval. If they
receive a majority of the votes cast they
will thenceforth become a part of our or
ganic law.
The most of these amendments are in
the form of new sections, being mhlitiom
to the Constitution rather than alteration.<
of it. One only, the third, is an altera
tion, and that refers mainly to the division
of Philadelphia into representative and
senatorial districts. The Lancaster Exam
iner gives the substance of the provisions
which they embody, and the propriety of
the changes contemplated, in the following
article.
The first amendment is a new article,
providing a sinking fund for the extinction
of the State debt; prohibiting any increase
of the present debt or the borrowing of mon
ey for State purposes except upon tempora
ry loans, and then only to the extent of
8750,000; restraining the Legislature from
creating any permanent debt by or on be
half of the State ; and providing that the
State shall not loan its credit to any individ
ual or corporation, become a stockholder
in any corporation, or assume municipal
debts, or authorize any municipality to be
come a stockholder in any corporation or
loau its credit thereto. This we regard as a
very important constitutional provision.—
It not only prevents the State from getting
into debt, in future, but provides a sure
means for the extinction of the present
debt, puts an effectual check upon schemes
for loaning the credit of the State to Rail
road Companies, and stops the practice
hitherto so prevalent, of authorizing cities,
towns and counties to lend their credit to
railroad and other corporations. With
these salutary restraints upon the Legisla
ture the fu'urr will be safe from the dan
gers which the pa<t has bequeathed to the
present.
The second amendment is a new article
relating to new counties. It prohibits the
cutting off of more than one tenth of the
population of any county in the formation
of a new county, without the express eon
sent of the people, and also provides that
the counties hereafter to be erected shall
contain at least four thousand square miles.
We regard this as a very valuable addition
to the Constitution. The conditions it pre
sents will prevent the division of old and
the formation of new counties except in
such cases as will command the general ap
proval of the people interested.
The third amendment relates more par
ticular to Philadelphia, hut contains a gen
eral provision regulating the method of fu
ture apportionment of representatives in
the Legislature. Under the operation of
this provision, the city of Pittsburgh, (and
probably the city of Allegheny,) will, after
the year 1864, he erected into separate rep
resentative districts, and will elect repre
sentatives distinct from the county. The
city of Philadelphia will also be divided in
to single senatorial and representative dis
tricts, hut this division will take place
there immediately, it being made the duty
of the next Legislature, in ease the amend
ment is adopted, to divide the city into such
districts, the division thus made to stand
until the appointment of 1864. At the
October election of this year the entire city
of Philadelphia votes as one senatorial dis
trict, the old city electing four members of
the House and the old county thirteen.—
When divided into single districts there wiil
be less danger than there is now of one
party getting the entire delegation. The
only objection we have to this amendment
! is that it does not extend to the whole
State. Every county electing more than
j one member ought to be divided into single
i districts.
The fourth and last amendment gives to
the Legislature the power of revoking, an
nulling or altering any charter hereafter
conferred by or under any general or spe
cial law, but in such manner as to work no
injustice to the corporators.
The Constitution, as it at present exists
provides for the submission to the people
of all such proposed amendments, and when
there is more than one amendment propo
sed, such amendments must be submitted
separately to the popular vote. The last
Legislature passed an act for this purpose;
and at the October election the people will
vote yea or nay upon each amendment sep
arately. Wc have no doubt they will all
be approved.
LOCAL AFFAIRS:
THE COMING WINTER. —-80 far as this
section is concerned, the prospects for a
hard winter to mechanics and laboring men
are extremely strong. Some seventy-five
hands have been thrown out of employ
ment by the stoppage of the furnace—the
mills are not likely to drive a heavy busi
ness on account of the inferior quality of
the grain—and in other matters but little
is going on calculated to afford employment.
Those therefore who still have a chance for
saving something from their hard earnings,
will act wisely and well by doing so, for
the fact stands undisputed that, unless
some providential or unforeseen circum
stance will create a demand for labor, many
who are in a measure dependent upon it,
will find much difficulty in making both
ends meet between this and the ensuing
spring. We are 110 croaker, hut such are
the appearances to us, and if correct, let
all profit by them. There is many a half
dime, dime, quarter, kc. that now daily or
weekly goes for trifles, which can he read
ily saved; there is many a half and dollar
now devoted to extraneous or superfluous
matters that can be readily dispensed with;
and those who will take an economic fit
will in a short time he surprised to sec how
these trifles run up into considerable sums,
ami how easily they can accommodate them
selves to circumstances in the way of dress,
&c. when there is the will to do it.
SniJ ArruJtnl. —A boy named Montgom
ery Threlked, a son of J. Threlked of this
place, who accompanied his father on a
boating trip, while playing on the wharf at
Columbia on Tuesday morning, fell into
the water and was drowned. His hat or
cap was discovered floating on the water hv
an elder brother alxrnt five minutes after he
had been last noticed, and although imme
diate search was made, more than an hour
elapsed before his body was recovered.—
His remains were brought to this place on
Tuesday evening, a sad bereavement to a
mother who a lew days before had parted
with her boy buoyant with life and health.
He was in his 10th Year.
Fir ft of On tcaton. —Joseph E. Major
handed us a sample of sausage, pndding,
and pork, on Saturday morning, being the
fir>t we had noticed at market this sum
mer and fall. They were trot up in excel
lent taste, and as may he imagined were
eaten with "neatness and dispatch," as the
tailors say. He purposes having them on
hand regularly at market, as well as beef,
mutton, veal, fcc.
jV'tr Jin if. —During a recent visit we no
ticed that the second track of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad eastward from Millerstown
has been laid with a new rail, now nearly
ready for use. The rail is eoiuposed of two
pieces firmly riveted together, forming a T
rail similar to the one in general use, hut
from the manner in which they are put to
gether—the joints of one half meeting in the
centre of the other half—presenting an un
interrupted surface of iron. Should this ex
periment ( tor such we presume it is) prove
successful, jarring arising from the join
ing of rails will be obviated, and the ears
pass over the track as smoothly as 011
an iron floor.
TrRNF.It BURNS, the new Su
pervisor 011 this division of the Pennsylva
nia Canal, has already introduced some re
forms for the better, all of which go to
show the miserable mismanagement that
existed while the canal was under State
control. Men are beginning to understand
that to hold situations under the company,
they arc expected to work for their pay ;
that inattention to business and loafing in
general will no longer be tolerated; and
that sobriety and faithfulness arc better
passports to favor than rum or whiskey and
brawling politics. We hope Mr. 11. may
succeed in being, what wo are sure lie has
the capacity to be, a good Supervisor.
Teachers' Institute. —Every effort hac,
we believe, been made to render the com

ses may be expected by Prof. F. A. Allen,

during the several evenings of the week,
to which the public are respectfully invi

QCEXR.— The democracy of Louisiana contend that free

That finely finished building, generally yclept the Jail,
