Excursion to Loudon and Back. —A corres
pondent of the Boston Transcript suggests, that, as
the great World's Fair in London next June will
probably attract more strangers to that city than
were ever there before, at any one time, there are
many who would like to go, if they could accom
plish the trip for about $lOO. He has ascertained,
from good authority, that provided one hundred
passengers can be obtained, the proprietors of a
line of first class packets will agree to furnish a
passage to Liverpool .and back, and provide good
accommodations and excellent fare, for the sum of
sixty dollars each. It is intended to leave Boston
about the middle of May, and arrive in London
somewhere near the fifth of June, allowing three
weeks for the passage across, which is the usual
time occupied.. Passengers can remain in London
three weeks, and make excursions to Gravesend,
Woolwich, Greenwich, Richmond, Windsor, and
other places in the neighborhood of the Great Me
tropolis : also visit the theatres and public gardens,
and have a “good time,'* for the space of three weeks,
when they again go on board the packet, bid adieu
to marie England , and arrive in Uncle Sam’s do
minions about the first of August, having been ab
sent ten weeks, and gained any quantity of useful
intormation—and all for the sum of one hundred
dollars.

The visitor must of course content himself with
plain accommodations while in London; the Tran
script's correspondent speaking from personal ac
quaintance, says they will be far superior to those
of any three dollar boarding house in Boston. In
the course of a few weeks some definite proposi
tions on this subject will probably be made. The
idea is a good one.
Base Swindling. —The basest kind of swindling
yet practised is noticed in the New York Courier.
Some mean-souled scamps advertise “500 girls
wanted to work on shirts,” and when application
is made, the girls are told that a deposit of one
dollar is required lor the safe return of the garment.
This deposit is made, and the cloth is taken, to be
made into shirts at six-pence each. In due time they
are returned, and the girls are told to come next
day, after their work has been examined. They
go next day for tVieir pay, and are then told that
their work was not well done—that the cloth was
spoiled—that they cannot have their pay, and that
the dollar which they deposited will be kept for the
cloth they have spoiled! Thus these men get the
work for nothing, and make a dollar besides ; and
the next day they adveitise, as before, “500 girls
wanted ■ —and go through the same operation.—
The Courier says these villainous frauds are not
dealt with legally, because magistrates are unwil
ling to offend the wealthy and influential parties
against whom the complaints are made, at the ip
stance of the friendless and moneyless females from
whom they come. A fine set of public magistrates,
and a nice sense of justice!
ID~VVe copy the following from the Maysville
Eagle, of the sth inst:—ln Fleming county, on
Wednesday last, Wm. Ringo had an altercation
with Mr. , who had married his sister, whom
he killed on the spot by a single shot from a re
volver: Ringo's mother ran up to expostulate
when the inhuman monster fired two shots into her,
body, from which she died next day. His sister,
the wife of the murdered man, then ran up, when
the fiend shot her through the .thigh. She is likely
to recover. He then made off, but the next day
was pursued by the neighbors,who found him at
ihe house of another neighbor." - On seeing the com
pany advancing he entered the house; he was sum
moned to come out and surrender, but he refused,
and while attempting to draw a pistol, was shot
through the abdomen by one of the party, he then
shot at another of the party wounding him slightly
in the shoulder, who thereupon fired back, killing
the monster instantly; the parties surrendered them
selves, were examined and acquitted.

A Caution to Hasty Eaters. —Mr. Wm. Bur
dick, of Newport R. 1., while eating supper on Wed
neday, choked himself on a piece of beef steak.
Medical aid soon removed the obstruction, but the
pulse had ceased, and he was pronounced dead.
Artificial means of restoring life were resorted to
cold water was dashed upon his face:—artificial res
piration was attempted, and he was bled freely.
After the last had been done consciousness was sud
denly restored, he raised his head quickly, pointed
to his throat, and said.“gone,,” After the over
whelming feeling of suffocation and impending
death, Mr. Burdock had no recollection of any
painful sensation, or of any of the circumstances
which occurred, until alter he was bled.
\ ankee In Q.UISITI veness. —We see by the Bos
ton papers that Mr. Andrews, the jailer, is constant
ly beset by persons who are anxious to know if he
believes Professor Webster to be really dead. The
jailer s answer is that, as the body was coffined
twelve hours, and put twelve feet under ground,
his sincere belief is that if he is not dead, he soon
will be.
CrA Great Pigeon Roost is at present to be
seen about a mile and a half .from Ravenna, Ohio

and kill and afterwards bear away loads of pigeons.

GEO. SANDERSON, EDITOR.
HT" We■ direct attention to the card of Mrs.
Row*, Principal of the Strasborg Female Seminary.
The Institution is in a flourishing condition, and
under the continued charge of the accomplished
Ladies who superintend it, cannot fail to ensure a
large share of public patronage.
BIT” We would refer our readers to an advertise
in another column, for a partner with three, hun
dred dollars capital.
B 7" Mr. O. C. B. Carter, from Philadelphia,
has opened a splendid assortment of Pianos, Parlor
Organs, Seraphiues, Melodians, &c., in Kramph's
Arcade, No. 4, to which he invites the attention of
the public. He has engaged the services ol M. La
Grassa, a distinguished Pianist, wha is always in
attendance to entertain visiters with a rich musical
treat. - We advise our readers to call soon, as Mr.
Carter s stay is limited to the Ist of November.
Babbit's Effervescing Yeast Powder. —We
are indebted to our kind friend, C. C. VankanaNj
of the Family Grocery in Kramph's Arcade, for a
package of the above preparation. It has been
tried in our family and found to possess all the ex
cellent qualities for which it is so highly and so
justly recommended. It will save housewives
and bakers a world of trouble, (as they not un
frequently experience in their baking operations,)
and should be used by every family. We recom
mend our Lady readers to give it a fair trial, being
well persuaded from what we have witnessed at
home, that it is a most valuable preparation.
oJ*The Washington Republic of Thursday con
tains Attorney General Crittenden's opinion of the
constitutionality of the Fugitive Slave Bill.. He
says there in any part of the law that
suspends the privilege of a writ of habeas corpus,
and that the whole act is not only constitutional,
but is necessary for the proper enforcement of that
provision of the Constitution which declares that
ail fugitive slaves shall; be delivered to their mas
ters ujjon claim being made for them. .
This is the opinion of a Whig Attorney General,
which, taken in connexion with the fact, that a
Northern Whig President approved of the bill by
affixing his signature to it, ought to be sufficient to
silence the attacks made upon the law by Whig
presses and orators nofth of Mason and Dixon's
line.
The Canal Commissioner Elect.
f That truly able paper, the Norristown (Mont
gomery County) Register, speaks of Mr. Morison,
and the vote ol his native county:
When Mr. Morison was nominated for the office
ofuCanal Commissioner by tbe Williamsport Con
vention, we promised our political friends through
out the State, on behalf of our Democratic brethren
at home, that Montgomery county would, on the
day of election, declare her attachment to, and con
fidence in the candidate of the party, with a mighty
voice. Our pledge has been fully redeemed. We
have given Mr. Morison a majority that he may
well be proud of—had the vote in the county been
more full, that majority, we are confident, would
have been greatly increased. It is large enough,
however, to make good the promise we gave—suf
ficient, to testify to our Democratic brethren
throughout the State, that the candidate they se
lected from our midst, is one who stands deserved
ly high in the estimation of his fellow-citizens, and
possesses a hold on their affections which they are
happy in being able to make manifest.
Afflictive Event. —While the Hon. Hknrt
A. Wise was engaged in animated debate in the
Virginia Convention, on the 17th instant, at Rich
mond, he received a telegraphic despatch informing
him of the sudden death of his wife, at Acconiac,
where he had left her but a few days before, in
perfect health. The announcement caused much
sensation in the Convention. Mrs. Wisf. was a
daughter of the Hon. John Sargeant, of Phil a.
D 7" A tremendous storm of thunder, rain and
lightning, occurred in Allegheny city, on the night
of Wednesday last. An entire row of houses were
struck, shattering the windows in pieces, and brea
king up most of the furniture. Several persons
were knocked down, some of whom remained in
sensible for a long time, but no lives were lost. A
frame house had its entire front knocked away,
leaving the inmates exposed in their beds. The
rain fell in torrents, and the wind blew a perfect
hurricane.
Democratic Review. —The October number of
this excellent periodical contains a splendid engra
ved portrait of Robert Rantoue, Jr., of Massa
chusetts.
Central Rail Road-
The opening of this great improvement to Hoi
lidaysburg, was celebrated on Thursday and Friday
last, by an excursion from Philadelphia and the
several trains along the route, to that place. All
:who participated in the jaunt were delighted beyond
measure at the splendid accomodations, excellent
road, and delightful and romantic scenery through
which they passed.
Upon the return of the cars to Lewistown, on
Friday, the company partook of an excellent din
ner. After the cloth wa» removed, several toasts
were drank—amongst others, one to Pennsylvania,
which was eloquently responded to by Mr. Buch
anan. Addresses were also made by Gen. Riley.
one of the Heroes of the Mexican War, Judge
Kelly, Mr. Meredith, and others.
ID" Root, the Daguerreotypist, must be the
greatest fool in Philadelphia. He paid $625 for
the first choice of seats at Jenny Linds Concert,
on Thursday night. ?
We begin to suspect, however, that there is a
good deal of humbug about ttgp high priced mania.
Should’nt wonder if Barnum has the matter pre
arranged,, for effect! Th£ mere fact of the choice
ticket going off at such an enormous price, is well
calculated to make fools of hundreds, who, under
other circumstances, would act the part of sane
men and women.
Miss Lind, when she returns to Sweden, will
doubtless take a hearty laugh over the lolly and
extravagance of we model republicans, and the
newspapers of Europe will ridicule us for our sim
plicity. We richly deserve it all.
Remains of Geii. Taylor,
We understand from the Pennsylvanian, that the
remains of Gen. Zachary Taylor, late President
of the are to be taken from Washington
City to their final rating place at Louisville, Ky.
They are to leave Washington on Friday next, and
will reach Baltimore at S o’clock, where Col. Tay
lor and Col. Bliss will take possession of the
corpse. They will then proceed over the York and
Cumberland, or Susquehanna Road, cross the Col
umbia bridge, and proceed thence to Harrisburg,
and so over the Central Railroad to Pittsburg,
where they will take the steamer to Louisville.—
The Portsmouth and Central Railroad Companies
have offered to pass the remains and the escort free
of expense.

Tbe Secret Disclosed!
it has long been a source of wonder to the unso
phistieated Democracy of the State, why it is
such a singular course is pursued by a portion of
the Democracy of this County,. •in fust, opposing.
Mr. Buchanan, and then transferring a portion of
their enmity to Col. Bigler, and depriving him of
tbe vote of the county in the State Convention of
.1848, in violation of the known will of a majority
of the party, when most of them knew then, and
all are constrained to admit now, that had he re
ceived the Gubernatorial nomination instead of Mr.
Longstbeth, our success in the campaign of that
year would have been certain. But the wonder is
still further increased, at the present a
similar game is attempted to be played over again
without any apparent, object other than a disposi
tion to place* the Democracy of the county in a
false position, and debar them from having a voice
in the nomination of Col. Bigler, when it is certain
that nearly every county in the State has declared
for him, when his nomination is as certain as any
event yet in the future can be, and when it is believed
that a large majority of the party here desire his
nomination.. We.repeat that this suicidal policy
has caused the Democracy elsewhere to be aston
ished, and the enquiry is very common—“ What is
the cause of all this ?” and “Why is it that the at
tempt has been made and persevered in, to estrange
the Democracy of Lancaster county from their
brethren throughout the State?”
The.true secret of all this opposition to Col.
Bigler has at length leaked out, and may be found
in the puerile attack made on the. Address of the
Democratic County Committee, by the last Lan
casterian. It is is simply because of the friendship
existing between that gentleman and Mr. Buchan
an. The hostility of the editor of the Lancasterian
to Mr. Buchanan is so malignant and uncompro
mising, that he would again be willing to jeopar
dize the State and tbe Nation to gratify his personal
; hate of this distinguished statesman! In this feeling
the great body of the Democracy of the county do
not participate. No man stands higher in the esti
mation of all his neighbors, of every political party,
than Mr. Buchanan. He is beloved by the people,
and we hesitate not to say that there is no other
man in the Union who could poll as large a vote
in Lancaster county, if he should receive the Pres
idential nomination. The Lancasterian knows this
full well, and its talk about a willingness to join
issue on the Presidential question, is all gammon—
intended solely forieffect abroad. Here, where the
j truth is known, it is laughed at as perfectly lidicu
j lous and absurd. The writer for that paper k’nowß,
and would so state if he were permitted to give his
honest opinion, that in such an issue before the De
mocracy of Lancaster county, the enemies of Mr.
Buchanan would be in a meagre minority ; and at
the proper time, when the question of the Presiden
: cy fairly comes up, they will hesitate long before
they run the risk of encountering an overwhelming
and ignominious defeat, notwithstanding all their
unmeaning bluster at the present time.
This controversy is not of Mr. Buchanan's seek-
ing. Neither he nor his friends wish to make the
Presidential question an issue at this early day.—
But it is his and their desire that the Democracy
of the great county of Lancaster should occupy a
proper position on the Gubernatorial question. If
Col. Frazf.r had any. the remotest chance for a
nomination, they would make no objection to his
receiving the vote of Lancaster county, provided it
was fairly obtained. But when it must be evident
to every intelligent person in the community that
he has no earthly prospect of such an event, inas
much as the question is already settled in the pub
lic mind, they consider it the height of folly to frit
ter away the influence of the six thousand Demo
crats of the county, in grasping at the unmeaning,
empty bauble of a complimentary vote—the Dele
gates to be used for ulterior purposes, and to ac
complish an object which has heretofore been stu
diously kept in the dark.
The Address of the County Committee, to which
fthe Lancasterian takes exception; and which it re
fuses to publish, is a document of uncommon power,
truthfulness and ability, and will be so regarded
wherever it is read throughout the State. If the
positions of the Address be “ false and untenable,”
as that paper would fain make it be believed, why
not give it an insertion, as requested, and let its
readers judge for themselves 1 The very best way,
we apprehend, to expose its “ false and untenable
positions,” would be to give it all the publicity pos
sible, and in this way appeal to the intelligence of
the people. The mere ipse dixit of our neighbor
will not satisfy sensible men. Neither the County
Committee, nor its talented Chairman, dread the
most thorough investigation of the Addiess; —on
the contrary, having full faith in the intelligence of
the party* they are'only anxious that every Demo
crat in the county shall read it carefully and pon
der well over its contents. If the positions and
arguments of the Address be “false and untenable,"
it is necessary that the people should have an op
portunity of reading it, so as to be satisfied of their
falsity ;—if true, then it is equally important that
they should all be made acquainted with the truths
it embodies. Truth never fears the light—it is only
error that seeks concealment.
With regard to the eharge of disorganization
brought against the County Committee by the
paper in question, we shall at present only observe
—as this article is too much extended already—
that that is a question for the whale Democracy of
the county to decide, after they shall have given
the proceedings and action of the Committee a
careful and intelligent consideration. That they
will decide in favor of right and justice, we have
not a doubt, and that the charge of disorganiza
tion, fall where it may, we are equally certain will
not be fastened on their shoulders—the twaddle of
the Lancasterian to the contrary notwithstanding.
1D“ The gentleman to whom common rumor
ascribes the editorials of the Lancasterian talks as
flippantly about “ good Democrats,” in his attack
upon the County Committee, as though he were
the very pink of consistency himself; —when the
fact is that, until very recently, he was looked
upon as the file leader of one branch of modern
Whiggery—and, If a very common report does him
no injustice, he voted for Mr. Stevens, at the recent
election, and thus assisted in defeating the excellent
candidate of the Democratic party, Dr. Muiilen
bero! This may have been owing to his predi
lections for the “raw head and bloody bones” of
defunct Anti-masoury, but it speaks badly for one
who assumes to control the action of any portion of
the Democratic party. “ People who live in glass
hiouses should never throw stones,” is the old adage,
ana* might be studied with some profit by that gen
tleman, if he wishes to avoid a controversy which
may, as it progresses, bring to public view again
certain unpleasant reminiscences.
The political character of each and every mem
ber of the County Committee is open for the scru
tiny of the Democracy of the County—nor do they
fear an investigation, even by the erudite gentleman
who does the writing for the Lancasterian. We
look upon this attack as the very height of impu
dence, coming as it does from one whose untainted,
unsuspected Democracy, if he carries about him any
of the commodity at all, is posterior to the election of
fust Tuesday week ! Truly, the Democrats of Lan
caster county will have sunk to a low ebb in the
scale of political'morality, and greatly degenerated
from the high character they sustained a few years
a*o, when they deserve to be lectured for their in
consistencies by such a hybrid politician as the
anti-masonic editor of the Lancasterian.
Anofber Fire in Colombia.
On Saturday evening last, five or six stables were
burned in Columbia. The fire, which was no doubt
the work of an in'cendiary, commenced in a stable
in the rear of the Columbia Bank. Several of the
Hone Companies in itfi is City, went up by special
express, for the purpose of assisting to arrest‘the
flames.
The Fugitive Slave Law.
This law is violently opposed by the Abolition
ists of the North, and their papers and orators are
counseling resistance to. its execution in several of
the large cities and towns—in this way exciting
the colored people to deeds of blood, which if per
sisted in for any great length of time must bring
about a war of extermination between the races,
and produce a terrible contest between the northern
and southern sections of the Republic.
This is a state of things which is greatly to be
deplored by every friend of his country, and
should be frowned upon by the press—the great
moulder of public opinion. Generally speaking this
is the case; but we are sorry to see an exception
even in our own Tittle City. The Union £ Tribune
of last week contains a communication which is
well calculated to bring about the very state of
things in this community we are all anxious to
avoid. We allude to the extraordinary production
signed u Alpha.” That we may not be accused of
doing injustice to that paper, we copy the article
entire, and ask the attention of all our readers to
it:
For the Union and Tribune.
Mr. Editor :—Already have several high minded
Commissioners of the U. S. Court (Col. Kane and
others,) and Deputy Marshalls resigned their offices,
lest they - should be called on to aid in executing
the infamous Fugitive Slave law.. This is manly,
and it is to be hoped will be universally followed.
I tiust no man will be found in Lancaster county
base, mean, despicable enough to accept the office
of Commissioner. If any .should be found so low,
he should be hooted and scorned by every man,
woman and child in the county. It would be more
honorable to associate with a common hangman or
thief. I observe a fellow named McAllister, in
Dauphin county, has accepted the office and acted
under it. Of what stuff are the citizens of Harris
burg made to endurfe his presence ? ALPHA.
“ Buckshot and Ball!' 5
It is rumored that the somewhat celebrated Wm.
B. Reed, the defeated Whig candidate for Prosecu
ting Attorney of Philadelphia, who acquired con
siderable notoriety during the “Buckshot and Ball"
administration of Governor Ritner, intends treating
the election of his Democratic competitor, Mr.
Kneiss, “ as if it had never been held.. ’ and thus
carrying the doctrines of the memorable Buckshot
war into practical effect!
Poor Reed ! He hates amazingly to let go his
hold upon the public teat—and, like old Joe Ritner.
is not willing to surrender the spoils, even when
fairly beaten at the polls. Like that administration
—reeking with the corruption of the ballot boxes
at Millerstown, Youngwomanstown, Halifax and
elsewhere—he judges others by his own standard,
and has the unblushing impudence to charge fraud
and unfairness on the part of the Democrats! It
is, doubtless, all labor wasted on his part. He is
too well known in Philadelphia and elsewhere, to
expect any body to believe his infamous charge of
fraud upon the Democratic party. The people of
his distiict have decided against his pretensions,
and, whether willing or unwilling, he will have to
submit to his fate.
Alas, poor Yorick!
Xfon. Howell Cobb*
This gentleman, Speaker of the House of Rep.
resentatives, arrived at hie home in Athens, Ga., on
the Cth inst., and on the very next day commenced
addressing meetings in favor of the Union, and* in
opposition to the revolutionists who follow the lead
of Governor Towns.
Speaker Cobb is a true patriot, and his untiring
labors in behalf of the Union will endear him to
the true hearted Democracy, in every section of the
Republic. The American people will hold him in
grateful remembrance, and elevate him to a yet
higher post of honor than the one he so ably tilled
during-the late session of Congress.
Valentine Best.
This man defeated llkndiuck B. Wright, the
Democratic candidate lor Congress in his district.
But, whilst we denounce the treachery that lost the
Democratic party a Congressman, it is a source of
gratification to knoflv that the traitor has received
his desert. He run as a volunteer candidate for
the Senate, a post that he..disgraced last winter,
and has been beaten in the district 1784 votes by
C. A. Buckalew, the Democratic candidate.
Supposed Mail Robbers Arrested.
Five persons were arrested in Philadelphia, on
Monday nigh't of last week, on suspicion of being
concerned in the mail robbery the Saturday night
previous. Their names are John McCartney, Thos.
Brannan, John Bell, Thomas Vetch and Robert
McDowell.- They were examined by the Mayor.
One witness testified positively to having seen them
with the Mail Pouches on the night of the robbery.
They were committed for trial at the next term of
the U. S. District Court.
In respect to the robbery, it would seem from
the accounts that the Mail Agent is charged with
a lack of vigilance, to use the modest term. The
Pennsylvanian says:
The driver and brakeman were in front of the
baggage car, to which the mail car was attached,
while the mail agent, Mr. Anderson, was in the
passenger car, several hundred yards behind, and
out of sight. The mail car was then left at the
mercy of any one bold enough to force it. All the
robbers had to do was to provide themselves with
a key to the company's locks, jump on behind,
open the door, throw oat as many they
conld, before the cars got under full headway again,
and then jump off and dispose of them.. And this
is doubtless the way in which it was done.
The Chester County Murder. —The Upland
Union, referring to the diabolical' murder ot Miss
Sharpless, says: We know of but one parellel for
it, and that was the murder of Wesley Patton, a
youth murdered by Jabez Boyd, on Sunday, in the
house of his parents, while the family were attend
ing religious worship. The scenes of these mur
ders are about four miles apart, and what is singu
larly impressive on the minds of citizens is, that
Pharoah, the accused, and now confined as the
murderer ot Miss Shaspless, is a close relative of
the. wretched Boyd, tried, condemned and hanged
for the murder of Patton. We learn that the young
lady had for several days, labored under the fear of
the accused murderer, having seen him on different
occasions about the school house with a gun, both
in the morning and evening, and had used the pre
caution of having scholars with her, both at her
coming in the morning and leaving in the evening.
The Saturday on which she was shot, was the last
of her school term, and her brother was to come,
and did come on that day to take her home to the
beloved family circle. On that fatal morning, she
was unattended by any of her scholars, and the
bloody deed was consummated, no doubt, by the
villain who had beeen waiting an oppurtunity, and
who knew that was the last that would offer,
ID*Hon. James Bcchanas paid our town a visit
on Wednesday afternoon last, and was called on in
the evening, at “Craigjp Allentown Hotel,” by a
large number of the citizens, irrespective of party,
who were anxious to pay their respects to so dis
tinguished a visiter. Mr. B. travelled without os
tentation or parade, and having, of course, come
unannounced, no demonstrations of a public char
acter were made to receive him. He, however
like a true democrat, seemed to prefer that free,
familiar intercourse with his fellow citizens which
enabled all to enjoy the pleasures of conversation,
rather than the pomp and show of public meetings.
He started the next morning on his way to Bethle
hem and Easton, leaving behind pleasurable ?ensa
tions on the part of all who had made his acquain
tance.—JUentoum Democrat.

William M. Beetem, Esq., has been elected
Cashier of the Carlisle Deposits Bank, in place of
William S. Cobean, Esq., resigned.
Tbe Next Governor.
We observe that a number of the leading Demo
cratic papers throughout the State have placed the
name of Col. -WILLIAM BIGLER, of Clearfield
county, at the masthead as their choice for the next
Governor. In many counties Delegates have been
instructed in his favor. From the indications man*
fested through various sources, there is but little
doubt ot bis almost unanimous nomination by the
Democratic State Convention, and the certainty of
his election in ISSI by an overwhelming majority.
Among the many prominent men of the Democrat
ic party named for that station, there is none more
worthy and deserving than Col. Bigler. He will
play sweepstakes in Bucks, that's certain. —Doyles
town Den'iocrat.
This school opened last evening, under charge of
Mr. W. W. Tatlor, as Principal, and Messrs. Liv
ingston & Row, Assistants. The school is intended
for the benefit of young men and apprentices whose
employments prevent them from attending day
school. The Board of Directors feel confident that
this school is calculated to do a vast deal of good
—they therefore trust that it will be properly sus
tained and encouraged. The school commences
with about GO scholars, which number will no
doubt be greatly increased in a short time.
Tbe visiting and superintending Committee of
the Board, for the school, is composed of Thomas
11. Burrowes, Esq, Geo. Sanderson, and Hon. A. L

Distinguished Visitor. —The Hon, James
Buchanan, returning homeward from Easton, Al
lentown, Bethlehem, Ac., tarried in our borough on.
Saturday evening last, and was called upon at the
Hotel of Mr. John Hartranft by quite a number of
our citizens, many of whom for the first time had
the pleasure of taking him by the hand. His com.
mandfng form and intelligent expression harmonized
well with the ideas one would have formed of the
man, whose towering intellect has frequently been
brought before us in point, of services rendered his
country as a statesman. Dignified yet social in
disposition, all who form his acquaintance are im
pressed favorably with the man. If Pennsylvania
is true to herself, he may yet be President of the
United States.— Pottstoit'/i Ledger.
