But, sir, although I may seem to be provoking
a discussion with you, I reallv am n"t inviting
it. Invited by ye.u, as I understand it, to
"look elsewhere,'" 1 am anxious to be inform
ed where I shall look : and taunted by your
article with a supposed absurdity in my polit
ical position, I am but turning the edge of
your irony in the right-cutting direction. I
am, however, obliged to you for notifying the
Republican National Convention that the con
servative Suites of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey can only be taken in as dupes, upon a
platform that ignores protection; and 1 return
the service you render us by suggesting that
the "elsewhere" party to which we are invited
to look for aid, must give us reliable assuiars
ces, if it design- to secure our support.
You must not deem it uncourteou:-to be
told that the Administration, and the party
for whom you speak, are not only under sus
picion, but, as we believe, actually under con
viction, of the wrongs arid injuries of which
we complain. And 1 will go further, as I
think, upon good grounds, and say for all for
whom 1 can safely speak, that now, as here
tofore, we have not been professional politi
cians or partisans, and are quite ready to give
our support to the nominee of any party for
the Presidency, en condition that he be a man
personally worthy of confidence, for capabili
ty and integrity, and pledged at the same
time to those measures of government which
-hall best promote the industrial, social, and
political welfare of the nation.
lou may rely, as I think, upon the whole
belt of middle States for the election of such
a man, for they are now too much in earnest
concerning the true and permanent interests
of the whole people to be carried awav by
merely sentimental or recti nal fancies. Tired
of abstractiuuns and distractions, they are
now asking only for favorable conditions for
minding their own business.
Respectfully yours,

Pennsylvania Legislature.
In the iiousf on Thursday tue following
joiQt resolutions relative to the tariff, were
taken up :
WHEREAS, The operation of the present
revenue laws of the general government is
rapidly increasing the national debt, crippling
the energies of the nation, retarding public
improvements, destroying industrial enter
prise, diminishing the value of property, de
priving the people of profitable employment
bv encouraging excessive importation of for
eign goods and products of foreign labor,
which ought to be produced by our own peo
ple, and prolonging a financial crisis caused
bv an excessive foreign trade ; and whereas,
an immediate alteration of the laws relative
to the duties up n imports is imperatively de
rounded to in-pire confidence, replenish the
national treasury, restore the public prosper
ity, and prevent the constant expurt of Amer
ican gold, now annually amounting to the
er.oimous sum of inure than seventy minions
i f dollars; therefore,
Jlcsolred, Ji'i the Senate and How>>. of Jitp
enfu tires of the Commonwealth oj I'enusyl
; in General Assembly met, That our
Senators in Congress be instructed, and our
Representatives requested, to earnestly en
deavor bv their votes and influence to procure
such a revision of the revenue laws -'a v.ill
restore the national credit, prevent excessive
importation of foreign products, and secure
to American 1. ; and enterprise an ample
reward.
Resulted, That the views <>f the Governor
of this Commonwealth, as expressed in his
late annual message, in tavor of placing the
revenue laws upon such a basis as to afford to
our great mining and manufacturing interests
the largest incidental protection, and to sub
stitute specific for ad valorem duties on arti
cles which from their nature are of equal or
nearly equal value, or change the foreign ton
home valuation, are eminently sound and
practical, and meet the approval of the Legis
lature.
Resolved, That the Governor be requested
to forward to each of our Senators and Mem
bers of Congress a copy of the foregoing res
olutions.
There is certainly nothing objectionable
in the wording of these resolutions; but
patent democracy would not be satisfied un
less the name of that arch-traitor to a tariff,
James Buchanan, was also inserted, and on
this ground, and apparently this alone, we
find the name of our representative, Mr.
Bates, recorded against them! The voters
of this county, especially the mechanics
and laboring men, who last fall so ardently
supported Mr. 8., have here the first illus
tration oi' profession and practice. Tkry
profess to be tariff men, in favor of just
such a revision as the resolutions call for,
but Mr. Bates, as their representative in
the Legislature, puts it upon the record and
tolls the country that the democracy of
Mifflin county is opposed to it! We made
some remarks on this subject last full which
are already partly fulfilled. We then said
til-;: if the voters desired a change in the
tariff pulley of the government, they must
continue to send men to the National and
State Legislatures who were known to be
faithful reflectors of their sentiments until
the object was achieved. A majority
thought, or at least acted differently, and
by so doing elected Mr. Bates, whose vote
has already half undone all that was ac
complished by the election of Mr. Hale to
Congress. If any man calling himself a
de nociut, hereafter stands up and advocates
a tariff, we hope our friends will point him
to the vote of Mr. Bates on the above, and
ask him why Mr. B. could not rise above
the machinations of political wire-workers
and vote lor what he knew to he the opin
ion of his constituents ?

BgL,A little girl, a daughter of Mr. Aultz,

lowed a new cent some time ago which,
with the aid of medicine, passed off. For
a few days thereafter she appeared to be
quite well again, but on Saturday fever and
other symptoms appeared and on Sunday
morning she died. We do not know wheth
er her death was caused by the coin, but it
is certain th.t both old and new cents are
dangerous. The old is copper, and all who
have ever noticed the greenish appearance
of that metal when exposed to dampness
or foul air, need hardly be told that in such
eases it is poisonous; the new cent is com
posed of nickel, opper, Ac., and we have
read of at least a dozen instances in which
from some cause it has produced death in
children.

was difficult, to realize that instead of spring
we are in the middle of winter.

THE CAME LAWS. —Together with a
number of our coteinporarics we were in
error last week in regard to the provisions
of the game law now in existence, having
confounded the old with the new law. Hie
act of April 1859 provides that no person
shall kill or otherwise destroy any pheasant
between the first day of February and the
first day of August, or any woodcock be
tween the first day of February and the
fourth day of July, or any partridge or
rabbit between the first day of February and
the first day of October, under the penal
ty of five dolars for each and every offence.
It will be seen that the law goes into effect
on the first of February, raid not on the first
! of January.

The Hudson River Railroad Accident.
THE BRIDAL AND THE BURIAL.
A serious accident occurred last week on
the Hudson river railroad, in which is men
tioned the sad fate of Mrs. Fields :
She was formerly Miss Ann 11. Tuthill, a
principal in the female department of Brook
lyn Public School, No. 12. and for a number
of years had been greatly beloved by her
scholars and all who knew her. Mr. Field,
who is a well known pomologist, residing on
Broadway, Williamsburg, as a member i t the
Board ot Education formed the acquaintance
of Miss Tuthill. The acquaintance ripened
into love, and resulted in their being married
at Kingston on Wednesday morning last.—
On the occasion of resigning her school, Miss
Tuthill was presented with a valuable k.ep
sake, as a mark of the affection they bore her.
After leaving she proceeded to the residence
ot her sister at Kingston, for the purpose of
preparing for her nuptials. On Tuesday
evening, Mr. Field left Albany Lr Kingston,
where lie was met by her brother and one or
two gentlemen from this city, who were pros
ent to witness the interesting ceremony. On
\\ ednesday morning the happy couple pro
ceeded to the church, accompanied by a gay
party of ladies and gentlemen in sleighs.
Four gentlemen, who were unable to procure
seats in the sleighs, were proceeding along on
foot,- when Miss Tuthill's niece called their
attention to them and remarked that they
looked more like pall bearers, than wedding
guests. \\ hat a strange significance there
was in those few words. They were united
at 10 o'clock, and after the ceremony, Mr.
Field and his happy bride crossed the river
on the ice, in order to take the express train.
There had been some doubts expressed re
garding the safety of the ice, and when once
fairly across, they congratulated each other
upon their safety. When the accident occur
red, Mrs. Field and her friends were sitting
at the rear of the hind car, chatting and jest
ing together, Mr. Field being outside. The
engine tore through the car, carrying Mrs.
Field with it, breaking both her legs and
mangling her body frightfully. After the
first crash, tier husband hastened to her res
cue, and removing a great quantity of rub
bish, he found her on the top of the boiler of
the locomotive, held fast against the side of
the car by portions of her clothing. Tearing
her dress from its fastening, and breaking his
way through the ear windows, Mr. Field bore
the mangled and almost lifeless form of his
bride to the air. Here be wassurroun ied uy
sympathising friends. \vh d; in. writing for
her that it was possible : tiii at last she |
was placed on a hasu.v.a.ac cot in one of
the cars, and conveyed to the Getty House, at
Yonkers. Medical aid was instantly procured,
but Mrs. Field failed rapidly, and at 7 o'clock
she breathed her last in the arms of her hus
band.

The Central Press says about a fortnight ■
since there was a sudden demise of a vigor
ous young man by the name of Budlo, of
Howard township. It took place under cir
cumstances particularly poignant. lie had ,
been attending the district school, and enjoy
ed his usual buoyant energy up to the day of
his death. He was induced by some one to
leave school and take a ride to Lock Haven,
which proved in the sequel to be attended j
with fatal results. When about midway be
tween Howard and Lock Ilaven, the young j
man was seized with a sudden illness and ex
pired before relief could be afforded.
A negro in the employ of Ex Sheriff Mus
ser in Miilheim, suddenly disappeared a few
evenings ago, taking with him several arti
cles of clothing arid about -720 in cash belong
ing to the Sheriff.
On the 17th inst., as Mr. Wilson Irvin, his
wife and three children were riding round the
bend of the pike, east of the borough of

which they were seated was turned over the
bank, and one child instantly killed by hav
ing its head crushed, Mrs. Irvin seriously in
jured, and one of the horses badly bruised.
