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 ing gathering of the Teachers interesting and instinctive. Teachers and freinds of education are earnestly requested to attend on Monday morning, and spend its much time as possible in the Institute. Addres ses may be expected by Prof. F. A. Allen, Supt. Hickok, and Hon. Thos. 11. Burrows during the several evenings of the week, to which the public are respectfully invi ted. Suppose a man drinks four glasses of liquor a day. at Ave cents a gloss; In a week he spends sl.lO, and In a year $72.90. This will buy the following articles Four barrels of flour, say $24; four pairs of boots, say sls; forty pounds of butter, $10; one hundred pounds of beef, $9; a new hat, $4; a new satin vest, $4; a bonnet for wife, SS; sugar plums for children, sl.au—total. $72.80.

The Indianapolis Journal cautions the public against a new shlnplastor concern which Is about going Into opera tion, under the name of Orleans bank of Cantielton. The city Of St. Paul, Minnesota, with a population of 12.00U souls, has not a single fire engine, a foot of hose, a tire bucket, nor a single public well or cistern. A few days since, Lemuel C.

We can only account for this " dark love" by the fact that the free negroes there b-lieve the republicans would make tliem slaves, and therefore are ail democrats. The police of Wledlken, In Switzerland, have been oblig ed to Interfere, In order to put a check on the proceedings of the Mormons. Three individuals, calling themselves priests of that sect, but whose conduct was anything but clerical, have been marched to the frontier by thcgeudarin erv. The I'hlladelphtu Xews gives an acconnt of an upper-ten minister In that city who was swindled by a pretended French lady, who claimed relationship with birn as co-heir ess to extensive estates In Texas. Served him right, as ac cording to scripture a minister can no more ser\e God and Mammon than any body else. The Tampa (Fla.) Peninsular states thatCapt. Simpklns, of the brig Gov. Anderson, lying at that place, " was down with yellow fever on Monday ; on Tuesday he was attacked with Asiatic cholera; on Wednesday he was dangerously ill wit h small px. and on Thursday he transacted business in the city, and prepared bis vessel for sea." That finely finished building, generally yclept the Jail, continues to trouble the vision of the Democrat with vain regrets that Its party had not the handling of the dimes spent In its erection. To dry off Its crocodile tears, we would recommend it, whenever the democracy gets a ma jority of the commissioners, to advocate the rebuilding of a tfew court house, nt about $20,000. That will bring the m even with the know nothings. Tlie rioters in Clearfield county who last spring Ilrcd upon a part}' of log floater*, wounding several, tore down their cabins, destroyed their goo ls a:rd committed other Infamous outrages, were recently tlned front $lO to 25, while some log Heaters, whose logs had gorged and done some injury wi re fined from $1 to 15. With such an ad ministration of inw there is not much wonder that mob violence prevails in our country.
