Col. Forney's Letter,
We direct the attention of our readers to
the admirable defence of Col. FORNEY, in an
other column, against the wanton, false and
malicious attacks upon him in the Harrisburg
Union. The letter was mailed at Washington
on the 20th ult., and we should have had it,
by due course of mail, in time for our last is
sue; but by some mishap it did not reach us
until Tuesday evening, the day after our pa
per had gone to press.
The Devotion of Foreigners.
During a debate in the United States Sen
ate, week before last, on the Homestead Bill,
Gen. Shields, in answer to a question put by
Mr. Attalory, (says the Valley Spirit,) stated
thht a majority of themen in the regular army,
during the war with Mexico, were foreigners.
And Mr. Butler, of South Carolina, who' op-
..s - . Itimting foreigners the same privileges
under tike bill as Americans, candidly said
that "the truth of history required him to
state, that when the officers of the Palmetto
regiment were all shot down 'at Churubusco,
the flag of the regiment was tied around the
body of a gallant Irishman, and was thus car
ried on through the battle to victory."
Is there a, genuine American' living who
would restrict the privileges of any man, no
matter where he was born, who fought in the
ranks of our army in Mexico ? Never did a
braver, truer band than . the handful of regu
lire we sent to Mexico, go to battle ; and yet
a majority of them come under the ban of
Snow Nothingism, the new adjunct of Whig
gery. Even the gallant Irishman who tied the
American flag round his body and carried it
before the enemy, would not be permitted by
- Snow Nothingism to share all the privileget;
of an American citizen.
Gen. Scott stated, during the late Presiden
tial campaign, - that foreigners had followed
him' to every battle-field on which he had
fought, and that he never led braver men into
action. The great Washington also leaned on
the arms of foreigners when he battled for his
country's independence, and the patriotism of
a foreigner enabled him to capture the Hes
sians at Trenton, an event which electrified
and inspired the whole country. We present
an z .,extract from a letter written by Washing
ton to Robert Morris :
"My army is encamped on the Delaware,
opposite Trenton, where our foes are concen
trated; our wants are great--$lO,OOO is neces
essary to gain the properinformatron and place
me in a position to justify an offensive move
ment against the enemy; to you, Robert Mor
ris, can I only look - for assistance."
And. Robert Morris, who was not born in
thin country, rendered that assistance ! On
his own note he borrowed the sum asked for
by the "Father of his Country," and the vic
tory of Trenton speedily followed. If Robert
Morris were now living in the city in which
he borrowed ten thousand dollars to enable
Washington to capture the Hessians at Tren
ton, the Whig and Know Nothing Mayor of
that city would not appoint him a Policeman.
Indeed, there must have been Know Nothings
there at the close of the Revolution; for after
Morris had bankrupted himself to save Amer
ica from the British poke, he was imprisoned
for debt. If the names of the persons who
oppressed him after he had saved them from
oppression could be obtained, they ought to
be enrolled as honorary members of every
Know Nothing association. They are enti
tled to rank as Patriarchs of .the Institution.
SkrWe regret to learn from the Easton
Argus, that the Cholera is prevailing to a con
siderable extent in that Borough and vicinity.
Quite a number of deaths ocourred from the
disease last week.
ANOTHER FAILIIRE,—John Tucker, Esq.
President of the Reading Railroad, suffered a
protest on Thursday, for various engagements
in his individual capacity. It is supposed that
an arrangement will be effected to resume bu
siness in a few days. The liabilities are large,
but the assets are also large—consisting of
railroad and other securities,but not saleable,
except at ruinous rates.
SINGULAR FATALITY.—Mr. Jacob Landis,
formerly of this county, but now residing near
Sterling, Whiteside county, Illinois, left his
home a waek or two ago, for the purpose of
attending to some business in a neighboring
town. While there he was taken with the
cholera, but succeeded in reaching home, and
eventually recovered. His wife and six child
. ren, however, were stricken down with the
same disease; and within a short time of each
other, all died.
SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—The following is
from the Centreville Times:—"Under the obit

How it was to be Done !,
The Pittsburg Post exposes the game the
whip Lye been attempting to play-in order
to elect Pollock. It says that up to February
last the whip had accomplished nothing to
wards securing the co-operation of the Atoll-
tionists. Without such co-operation they
knew their case would be hopeless; with it
there was a possibility. of Imams. Hence it
was that great efforts were made to nominate
Larimer instead of Pollock by the "Fusion
ists," and they would have succeeded but for
the power of the "silver gray" portion of the
party in and about Philadelphia. After this,
the plan of "Fusion" was apparently given
up as impracticable; but the passage of the
Nebraska bill, and the Fugitive excitement in
Boston, brought on the "attack" again more
virulent than ever. But how the thing was
to be accomplished was the question? And
it has proved a sore question to all concerned.
Ncf one appears capable of solving it, though,
if we may believe the Post, the effort has been
made, if not successfully, with a good deal of
pertinacity. Not one contract, says the Post,
is yet signed, sealed and delivered. Mr. Dar
sie, being of foreign birth, is obnoxious to the
Native,Ameoeans or Snow Nothingi; and he
has consented to withdraw from tke ticket.—
His letter•to"that effect is in the hands of the
State Central Committee, and the publication
is only delayed until other bargains can be
perfected.
B. Rush Bradford is the Native American
candidate for Governor. Upon the withdraw
al of Mr. Darsie, the design was to have Mr.
Bradford decline the race for Governor, and
take Mr. Darsie'e place on the fusion ticket
for Canal Commissioner. That would secure
the Know Nothing vote to Pollock, and the
whig vote to Bradford. But alas!
"The best laid schemes of mice and men
Gang aft aglay."
To the astonishment and wrath of the Whigs
Bradford refused to withdraw. He •insists
that Pollock must get out of the 'way, and let
him have the Gubernatorial track. And he
believes that he has only to be stubborn and
resolute, and it will be done. But Pollock,
too, refuses to get out of the way. It is said
he has joined the Know Nothings himself;
and why then should he be required to with-
draw. But Bradford is stubborn. His infan
cy was rocked in a mahogany cradle. He is
a man of wealth, of respectability, of ambi
tion. wlv should he be compelled to aban
don this forlorn hope of being Goverttor of a
great Democratic commonwealth? Not he,
indeed! He positively refused. So fusion is
"up a stump" there.
Not being able to buy the Native Ameri
cans and Know Nothings with the Canal
Commissioner's berth, the traders turn to the
Abolitionists, and offer them the vacancy oc
casioned by Mr. Darsie's withdrawal. Geo.
R. Riddle, of Allegheny county, is supposed
to be available. The Democrats favored him
with a fat office once. He rewarded them by
abandoning their ranks. He can• probably
have Mr. Darsie's place; but upon one condi
tion. Pons, the Abolition candidate for Gov
ernor, must withdraw, and sell, assign, trans
fer and convey his whqle party to Pollock.—
But. lo! another difficulty. Potts refuses to
get out of the way. He is. rich, alid can af
ford to spend a little money in the campaign.
He is ambitious; and something might turn
up that would snake a great man of him yet:
There is nothing like biding in luck's *ay. A
nomination for Governor is an honor not to be
had every' day; and when obtained, it is not to
be relinquished for nothing. But above,all ;
Potts is reputed an honest man, and he de
nounces "bargains and sales" as dishonest.—
He does not believe a few demagogues and
trading politicians have a right to buy and
sell the great mass of the people. He believes
it wrong to buy and sell negroes, and equally
wrong to buy and sell white men. He appears
to be one instance of an Abolitionist who con
siders a white man as good as a negro, and
that neither should be sold. Again is the fu
sion scheme "up a stump." The plan, it will
be seen, was originally to., put Bradford in
Darsie's place; Wilmot in Smyser's place;
and have Potts withdraw. That would have
left a clear field for Pollock, with Whigs,
Know Nothings, and Abolitionists to back,
him. And the other candidates on the State
ticket—Bradford and Wilmot—would have .
had the same backing. But the refusal of
Potts and Bradford to decline the Gubernato
rial race knocks the whole thing on the head,
and fusion is thrown into utter confusion.
There is another difficulty. Sruyse'r refuses
to decline in favor of Wilmot. Se thinks a
whig should not be required to withdraw from
the ticket to make room for a renegade Dem
ocrat. We think so too. Mr. Smyser is right
and should stick to his text. Bradford is right
too. He is a better man than Pollock ; and
has hosts of friends who will never consent
that their favorite be sacrificed. Potts is right
too. "A white man is -as good as a negro,"
and should not be sold.
Such is a brief history of events thus far.—
We shall keep our readers informed,from time
to time, of further developments. A new era
of political gambling has dawned upon us,
rich in schemes, and tricks, and infamy. Is
it not infamous ? Party leaders professing to
have principles, and asking the confidence of
the people; yet ready to abandon all their
principles, and trade for the fusion of a rab
ble that, they hope, may secure the spoils to
those leaders once more. We are satisfied that
the great mass of the people of this Stato will
scorn such political gam,bling. The Democrats
have nothing to fear in the present campaign.
They have only to close ranks, and charge
firmly upon the disordered rabble of their fran
tic opponents,, and our old Commonwealth is
still wife under Democratic rule.
A NEGRO PATRIOT.—The Charleston Mer
cury chronicles the death in that city, nu the
17th ult., of Captain WilliaMson, a free man
of color, at the great age of one hundred and
thirteen years. In this long life of indutstry,
he accumulated a sufficient fortune for the
comfortable support of himself and wife.—
The latter survives him, being over eighty
years'of age. The Mercury says of the Cap
tain, that, "during the war of the revolution,
he assisted in throwing up the lines for the
defence of the . city (Charleston,) and was an
ardent lover of his country."
BUFFALO, June 29.—Charles Fillmore, a
brother of Ex-President Fillmore, died at St.
Paul, Minnesota, supposed from cholera.
Bea:mans, Julp 29.=The deaths reported
in the almshouse of this county by cholera
were caused by intern perance and eating un
ripe &nit.
James Pollock a Meinber of the
_ ,
Minna Banana) BY :BE 'llarow-Notni
nws."—The Washingtoq Commonwea/th learns
from Pldhulelphia that Goiernor Bigler ap
plied for admission into the society of Snow
Nothings, but was rejected:—.News.
This of course is a fabrication of the most,
silly character. If will deceive no one. Gov
ernor Bigler is known to be opposed to tiiisze
cret political religious society, and on all prop
er occasions has denounced it as an attempt
to minglelbitterness of religions prejudices in
our political canvass. The Whigs and their
allies must tax their ingenuity -Thr a more
plinsible invention, or they will lose their old
and well-established character foir adroitness
in manufacturing falsehoods for all occasions.
But James Pollock, the Whig candidate for
Governor, is a. member of the Order of Know-
Nothings. He joined in Philadelphia, on the
evening of the 19th of June, and made a speech
on that occasion, in which he gave in Ins ad
hesion to all the monster doctrines of that un
constitutional organization. James Pollock,
on entering that secret order, Swosx, Ist. He
would not vote for or appoint to office any man
who was not born in this country.
2d. He would not vote for or appoint to office
any man who believed in the doctrines of the Ro
man Catholic Church, whether born in this
country or elsewhere.
3d. He would not vote for or appoint to office
any man whose father was not born in this
Countrynd a believer in the Protestant Reli
gion.
These are the facts with relation to Mr.
Pollock. Will he dare deny them? They are
susceptible of the most abundant and convin
cing proof. The'time, the place, the circum
stances in connection with . the admission of
Mi. Pollock, are all known in this city. The
members of the finowNothing organization
claim him as their candidate, and as a mem
ber of their order, in full communion with all
its proscriptive ideas. If Mr. Pollock is elect
ed., instead of the State Government being
conducted on the broad, open basis of the
Constitution, and the equality of all men un
der that sacred instrument, the directing hand
will-be controlled by the oath of a secret society,
proscriptive in its character, and based upon
the baldest and most ultra doctrine of religious
persecution. Mr. Pollock is sworn to deprive
one portion of our fellow citizens of their
equality of rights because they do not wor
ship God in the same manner that he does;
another, because they were not born upon the
soil of this country: and still another, because
their fathers were not native to the country,
or may have been believers in a particular
religious faith. This is new doctrine to be
preached on the soil of old Pennsylvania, and
attempted to be forced on her citizens by
means of a sworn secret society. How will
the honest yeomanry of the interior relish
such an attempt to make aliens of their chil
dren, and ostracise them from the benefits of
civil and religious liberty? The Star-Chamber
of England, and the Inquisitorial institutions
of other countries, are justly reprobated by all
lovers of the rights of conscience; but how do
they differ in practical consequences from the
order of Know-Nothings. To be sure, they de
prived a man of life as well as liberty. That was
a feature of the same barbarous age in which
their organization existed. The same spirit
that leads a man to take an oath to proscribe
another on account of his religious faith, will
induce him to burn him at the stake; and the
Know-Nothingism, of 1854, of which. Mr.
Pollock is a member, is identical in all its
features with the most barbarous crusaders of
the middle ages.
For the purpose of courting success, the
Whig party and its candidate, Mr. Pollock,
have affiliated with this society, and are bound
hand and foot to its bloody car. Mr. Darsie,
the Whig nominee for Canal Commissioner,
is not a native of this country, and hence he
is fo be superceded by Mr. Spicer, of the Na
tive American State ticket, and a member of
the Know-Nothings. In this manner the
ticket is to be prepared for the allied forces.
The qiiestion therefore for the citizens of
Pennsylvania to deetde is, shall the fire of
religious persecution te lighted in this old
Commonwealth, and its laws subjected to the •
blighting influence of a sworn secret order?
Shall the ballot box and the jury room be
polluted by the presence of a spirit alien to
the genius of our free institutions, and para
lysing to all the best and dearest interests of
freemen? Shall our Legislative Halls be con
verted into Star Chambers, where the religiouts
opinions of a portion of our citizens will sub
ject them to the auto de fe of Know-Nothing
vengeance. Shall the Supreme Bench be in
vaded by this demon, and the administration
of our laws subjected to its fell and pestilen
tial purposes? All these questions are attempt
ed to he silenced on the part of the 'Whigs
with the cry of Anti-Nebraska, and the ad
vance of slavery by the establishment of the
principle of self-government in the Territorial
governments of Kansas, and Nebraska.
This, however, will not satisfy the people.
They ask from the Whig candidate, Mr. Pol
lock, an admission or denial of the fact of his
attachment to the Know-Nothing organization.
Governor Bigler is not a member, nor did he
ever make application. Mr. Pollock is a mem
ber. We have given the time and place of
his admission—the oaths taken by him which
are openly at variance with the Constitution
of the United States and that of the State of
Pennsylvania; and we now ask the citizens of
the Commonwealth of PeraisylVania if they
are willing to aid in electing him to the office
of Governor of this State? It is for them to
decide.—Philadelphia Arum?.
SLAVERY AT THE Noavu.—Slavery exists
here—slavery which is involuntary—it exists
among the white laborers of the north. Thous
ands are compelled, by circumstances which
bind them like fetters of iron, to yield their
independence of thought and action to the rifle
of other men.—Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
In the South, when a slave escapes from
his master, he is advertised, hunted, and gen
erally returned to his servitude. In the North,
when a factory laborer or a white slave, lf you
please—leaves his employer for more freedom,
he, too; is advertiSed, by a circular being sent
to all Other maufacturing establishments, his
or her name given, and thus hunted, he is
proscribed—labor being refused him—and he,
too, is compelled, in too many cases to return
to the wearing servitude of his master.
All over New England this slivery exists ;
and with tens of thousands of white men and
women, well-read and intelligent people, so in
tolerant and proscriptive are the 'Lords of the
Cotton Mill,' it is a slavery almost as abject
as if they were black people, and held in bond
age on Southern plantations. And yet Yan
keedom, with a big beam in its own eye, is
eternally clamoring to have removed the mote
which it sees in the eye of its Southern. Neig
hbor. Like old England, with its myriads of
white slaves, forever canting upon the bless
ings of human freedom, and setting up to be
monitor for all the world, to teach what hu
man freedom is, New England sees in its own
society_no social evils to cure; but with a phar
isaical pretension, as bold as it is shameless,
first advises all other sections what reform is
for their good, then urges, then demands, and
now threatens to subvert the organizations of
political society, and demolish even the pil
lars of the Union, unless its self-wise and ar
rogant exactions are meekly conceded. Out
upon such festering hypocrisy I—Cin. Enq.
A MASTER PIECE OUT-DONE.—We have late
ly. supposed. ATER'S Cherry Pectoral . was the
Ultima Thule in its line, and that nothing had
been or would be invented which could sur
pass it in its fine points of excellence as a
medicine. But we are confidently assured by
those competent to Judge on the subject, that
Dr. Ayer's new Pills excel in high medical
artistry even that widely celebrated embodi
ment of his skill. He has succeeded in mak
ing them not only pleasant to take, but power
ful to cure the large class of complaints which
require a purgative remedy.
Book Notices, &c
GRAHAM FOR AUGUST.—A fine number, filled with the
most entertaining literary matter, and embellished with
superb engravings, ."Encampment at Valley Forge," a
mezzotint, is designed with spirit, and artistically execu,
ted. This number contains a continuation of Headley's
Biography of George Washington, illustrated by two ex
cellent engravings. "Cape May—a Warning," is very hu
morous, and cannot fall to elicit from the reader a hearty
laugh. In fine, Graham for August fully sustains the
well-know reputation of that first class American magazine.
THE CHOLERA.-N. YORE.—The total num
ber of deaths in this city, during the last
week, were one thousand and ninety-eight--
from cholera 234. This is a total increase nf
one hundred and forty-three, and of deaths by
cholera fifty-one.
WHEELING, July 29.—There have been sev
en deaths by cholera in this city during the
past three days.
.17iir•We direct attention to the card of Rev-

The Truth Well Applied.
::;The Cincinnati _Enquirer, of the 20th ult„
has the following excellent tirticle, in reply to
I
the Times, the Whig and iiiioW-Nothhig in-; f< gan of that city. Although specially intended I
for the benefit of the people of Ohio, itneVer- ei
theless suits other States just ail well, and-is .
peculiarly well adapted to the meridian of
Lancaster at the present time. We hope all
our readers will give it # careful perusal, as
it inculcates the right doctrine which has been
sanctioned I I the fathers of the Republic and
handed down unimpaired to the present gen
eration,:
THE PRINCIPLES OP 1.776-ME CINCINNATI TIMES.
Our cotemporary of the Times, while lie
professes to teverencetheprinciples of 1776, yet
evidently thinks that the British King, GEORGE
ims, THIRD, was right, when he went in for .
the "obstruction of the laws for the naturali
zation of foreigners," and that WASHINGTON,.
HANCOCK, JEFFERSON, Firssmut:, Antmg, and
the rest of our revolutionary' ancestors, who
condemned his conduct in that respect, in the
Declaration of Independence, were very short
sighted and.. unwise. He and the proscriptive, ct
intolerant party to which he belongs, have at
mounted a platform which was. laid down by of
a British monarch seventy-eight years ago,and o:
which was repudiated at the time by all the I
revolutionary,statesmen. He thinks that the t
accident of birth should alone determine the
qualification of those who exercise the right
of suffrage—that it shouldbe restricted to men
born upon the soil. Such was not the opinion:
of those who laid the foundations of the Amer
ican Republic. No each narrow, intolerant
views governed their political action.
Instead of limiting the right of suffrage to
natives only, our revolutionary ancestors, im
mediately after the Constitution was formed,
passed in substance the present naturalization
laws, making foreigners voters at the expira
tion of five years after landing in this country.
The patriots and generals of the Revolution
were in'Congress when this statute was pass
ed, and it met the approval of President t.x'EO.
WesruNcroN. They carried out in theiriegis
lation the doctrine of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, that the "naturalization leis should
not be obstructed." Afterward the high-toned
Federalists, jealous of givilig too much power
to the people under the administration of Gen.
WASHINGTON'S successor, Mr. ADAMS, extend
ed the period of naturalization to fourteen
years; but it met with so little favor that it
was placed back again, under the auspices of
THOMAS JEFFERSON, to five years, where it has
ever since remained.
• Fifty years have passed away and we now
find a faction springing up which, pretending
to reverence the names and principles of Wash
ington, Jefferson, Franklin, and their cotem
poraries, would entirely change their national
.policy in a very important particular.
. Onr "Know Nothings" of the present day
have discovered that Washington and Jeffer
son had no political sagacity. when, as Presi
dents, they signed laws conferring upon for
eigners the right of suffrage in five years-that
such liberality is very dangerous to the coun
try. Now, although we are radical and pro
gressive in our notions, yet we must confess
we had rather adhere to the principles of the
illustrious framers of our government than
adopt those of Orestes A. Brownson, Ned Bunt
line, and our cotemporary of the Times. Wash
ington and Jefferson we have always consider
ed pretty_ good Americans, pretty good pa
triots and petty good statesmen, and as they
were in favor of giving foreigners the right of
suffrage in five years, we would not rashly dis
turb the work of their hands.
We can see no reason in the world why for
eigners who design to remain in the country
al their life, and leave their inheritance to
their children-whose interests are consequent
ly here—who are as much affected by good
or bad government as the natives, should be
denied a voice in making the laws to which
they are subject, after a limited- period has
elapsed. As they are subject to the responsi
bilities of citizens, why should they not have
their political privileges? The test of birth ;
is a very poor one to apply; for by it an igno-'
rant and vicious person, if he be born upon
the soil, would be allowed rights which would
be denied to the most intelligent and best af ,
fected individual who could not plead that cir
cumstance.
Birth-place is not always a test of patriot
ism either, as the instance of Arnold, in our
Revolution, clearly proves. The presumption
is strong, that foreigners who flee from a land
of oppression to one of liberty come here with
feelings in favor of our form of government.
We ask the Times, in all candor, whether
'foreigners have ever been backward in re
spondingtto the call of the country in time of
war? To go no further back than the Mexi- '

Gordo, Chepultepec and Mexico? Has not
Gen. Scott often bore witness to this fact as
well as other gallant American &Beers, under
whose command they served? No one can
say, in truth, that our adopted citizens have
been recreant in this particular. The Times
quotes the remark of Washington in his fare
well address—"l conjure you, fellow citizens,
ever to be on your guard gainst the insidious
wiles of foreign influence;"and of Jefferson,
"I wish there was a wall of fire set up between
this country and Europe"—as sustaining its
views of naturalization, when they have noth
ing whatever to do with it.
The expression of both these eminent pa
triots had reference to the attempts which
were made to involve us in European wars and
difficulties, with whiCh they desired we should
have nothing to do. The citizen Genet, the
French Minister in this country during Wash
ington's Administration, made strenous efforts
to bring this about, and it was such "insid
ious wiles"as his that Washington warned his
countrymen against. That neither of them
partook of the fears of the editor of the Times
and of the Know Nothings, in regard to for
in this country, is sufficiently evident
from the fact that they, as Presidents, signed
the five-year naturalization laws which' we
have at the present time. Every pulsation in
their hearts was in favor of the broadest polit
ical equality and religious liberty, and if they
were alive now, they would denounce th
Know Nothings, who would liirdt the one an
proscribe the other, in the same way they di
King George the Third, in 1776.
The T imes asks us if we think the "help o
foreigners indispensable for the preservatio
of American principles and institutions ?"
Whether indispensable or not, we think that
every man whose interests and residence are
in this country should be allowed the right o'
suffrage as a matter of justice and good policyl
We think American institutions are' not de
pendent for their preservation upon the actio
of the Whigs, yet this is no reason why the
should not exercise the right of suffrage.
Our cotemporary is very silly when it ask,
who is inclined to make religion a test of pol
litical action in this country ? We answer 4,
and the bigoted, intolerant, anti-American fac
tion whose views it represents, and who hava
made it the principal plank in their politic
platform, and who proscribe all of a certa'
denomination. Its plea, that it is just as rig t
to exclude a man from office on account of his
religious as his political opinions, will not gip
down in any country that is not cursed with
a union of Church and State; and we wond
at the impudence of the man who can advert e
such a doctrine and still claim to reveren e
the principles of 1776, of which entire reli
gious liberty was an essential ingredient.
The Democratic creed upon the subject of
the naturalization laws is to be found in the
following resolution, adopted by the Demo
cretin National Convention in 1840, and reef- .
firmed in 1844, 1848 and 1852. It reads thiA l
That the liberal principles embodied by Jf

ours the land of liberty, and the asylum f

vindication. Heretofore these slanders have
beeh leveled at myself alone; and one after
another they have' been left to die unnoticed
in eir. own •poison. Now, however, those
wh have conducted this crusade, have turned
the calumnies upon others,—upon those near

au knave who invented it, knew how thor
ax h a lie it was, and hence refused to start it at
ionie, where crowds of voluntary witnesses
;old attest the infamy alike of the• counter
el , and the counterfeited. But that in his'
int
iety to wound me, he should ,so far, forget
he little manhood remaining in his nature, as
to httempt to lacerate the
- feelings of two la
dies who are incapable of injuring a human
being, is what even those who know his pro
fae and pestilent character would hardly have
be 'eved.
he charge is that while I anCriuting in
wlth in Washington, I have left my sister
to , ork in a factory at Lancaster, and my
mother unvisited and neglected; and this in
famous statement is sought to be made plaus
ible by the addition of details equally without
the color of truth. Ido not plead in reply my
own character, or the acts of a life well known
to you and to my friends at home;—because
every circumstance stamps the assertion as an
in treble lie. For fifteen years it has been a
so rce of unbounded satisfaction to me, to be
ab e to contribute to the support of both my
m ther and my sister. I have had a long
s uggle in the busy battle of the world, and
1
until within six years past, my ability has
been far below my earnest desire to serve
them. Left fatherless when eight years of
a4e, and dependent alone upon a noble mother ,
fc7F support, I was thrown among the conten
tins and trials of life without education, with ,
o t means, and, for a period, without influen
ti 1 friends. From this obscure position, if I
h ve been able to advance at all, it has been
solely by constant application, unremitting
toil, and sincere devotion to what I believe to
bO right. If I deeded testimonials to this
statement, I could appeal to even my political
' enemies in Philadelphia and in Lancaster; but
the fact requires no evidence to strengthen it.
Poring my humble career, up to the present
u,,,ment, the constant prayers of my mother
and sister have accompanied and sustained
Me. How eagerly' I sought the first occasion
Which presented itself to place both in d posi
tm of comparative independence, their own
lick-arts have often borne witness. True grati
tUde discharges, its obligations as so many re
-1 gious duties; but the devotion which a son
f els for his aged mother, and only sister, is
olier than any other that stirs the depths of
human passion. Can it be possible that this
cenotion iit ever extinguished in the heart of
man ?
1 It is true; my sister a few years ago, re
4olved to take her place in a cotton factory at
Lancaster. She was accompanied by the
4aughters of some of,,your best known and
host respectable citizens. As soon as I was
' formed of it, I objected, not because Labor
' not always honorable; ,but because I felt
iyself equal and able to maintain her. I
1
-rote to her, and appealed to her in person,
o yield to my counsels; and I am now remind
d by her that one of the reasons, which I
hen mentioned, was that some low and lying
aitiff, in his desire to strike at me, vould
eize upon her position in the factory as an
evidence of my heartlessness and ingratitude.
She preferred to follow her own inclinations
or independence, pointing to her associates,
s an evidence that she was right, and ex
ressing her disbelief that any one could be
ase enough to take advantage of such a fact
to wound a brother she loved and loves go
well. I have nod been disappointed that my
prediction has been fulfilled, and that, too, by
!the very person, who, with one breath, seeks
to flatter the voters connected with your flour
ishing factories, and with the other tries to
blast the reputation of a fellow-citizen because
Ihe has a female relative connected with one of
' those establishments ! If his abuse of me is
correct for this reason, what brother, who has
a sister, what father, who has a daughter,
lamong those engaged in either of your factor
ies, is safe from similar imputations? The same
, rule must apply to all who have been, and all
who may be, so occupied. And Labor is thus
sought to be made, by an arrant slanderer, a
BADGE OP REPROADHA STAIN PAR MORE GALL
ING THAN A WOUND!
No less false and cruel is the allegation that
I have neglected my mother. While I recur
to this shameless falsehood, the letters of herself
and my Edgier, running through a long series
of years;aiid coming down to the present time,
lie open before me, redolent of hope and joy,
of prayers and blessings. Could I reveal these
cherished mementoes and expose to the pub
lic eye.that which is sacred to home and to
memory, even the anonymous slanderer would
shrink and cower as his own bad heart re-.
sponded in throbbings of shame and remorse.
Do he and his echoes expect me to defend
myself with such witnesses? - Is. it still his
purpose to drag;before the public those whose
hearts now bleed over his calumnies'? What
upright, generous, and chivalric spirit, could
stoop to the revolting game, first of fabricating
a vile aspersion; and then of asking weak and
innocent women to fly to the public press to
shield themselves against his envenomed fangs?
Allusion is made to my success in life and
to my position here. If both were true in the ex
aggerated sense sought to be conveyed, could
either be discreditable? It may be a source
of bitter disappointment to a vain, ignorant,
false-hearted pretender, whose foul tongue is
useful alone in' elevating all it seeks to defame,
that a poor printer boy, born among the mass
es, and inspired by a resolution never to for
get his friends, and never to desert his princi
ples, should have succeeded in making for
himself a respectable position. before the coun
try, and should now be able to point to devo
-ted friends ig every State in the Union, inclu
ding some of the purest and best of our citi
zens.' From my soul, however, I pity the man
who, blinded by passion and lost to reason,
has become so utter a slave to revenge that
he cannot see another's prosperity without
wishing to drag him down to his own low and
debasing level. •
Whether I enjoy the confidence of our pa
triotic and fearless President, is not material
to this issue; but if I do, those who dissemi
nate the vituperations you 'have so severely
rebuked, may'rest assured that that confidence
never will be violated in imitation of the dark
example which respects neither the memory
of the lamented dead—the virtues of the vene
rated living, as shown in the bloodhound pur
suit of the eminent statesman James Buclaan
an—nor the feelings of sensitive women who
shrink with instinctive , apprehension from be
ing made the subject of public controversy.
This is already too long a letter; but I am
addressing a people among whom I was born,
and with whom I spent the larger portion of
my lifethose with whom I have' associated
in boyhood—and mingled in the intercourse
of sterner years-those who knew my father
and who also know my humble history. Not
indeed that I require to be vindicated before
such a community, for I am so conscious of
their love of justice and' their scorn of false
hood, that I would be content to allow my
, calumniator to act alike as my accuser and
judge, if these were my jurors. You will be
lieve, I know, when I tell you how all my im
pulses have revolted at the necessity of writing
upon a subject so delicate, and in reply to
charges so unnatural. But the breath of cal
umny is like.the breath of the pestilence, and
flies upon the wings of the air. - These imputa
tions haVe even penetrated here, and it is
right that I should meet them as they deserve.
It is for this reason that I have.asked a place
in your columns, that`l may crush a festering
and cowardly slander on the very spot from
' which it emanated. -

Qul The.
The Democrac, ophe old "Tenth Legion"
have never beekt:totrnd napping when called z to
stand by their'arms. In every battlp with their
"ancient enemy" they have ralliedl i around the
standard bisicira* . ef the Party, and carried
them through each contest in triumph. In the
Presidential campaign of 1840, when hitherto
sound Demcgritic districts wavered in their
'fidelity to the 'bans% deserted the banner of
Demoeraiy, and went over to the enemy—whin
even loyal "Old Berke came -up scattering,
and presented a broken phalanx to the as
saults of whiggery—the old "Tenth Legion"
- stood like an invincible bulvirk against the
foe, and held in check the victorious forces of
the opposition. No false issues could misdi
rect her enlightened freemen, no delusive prom
ises seduce them from their earnest and sin
cere attachment to the principles of the Dem
ocratic Party. Whatever course others pur
-1 sued, she was always found firm and uncom
promising in her adhesion to that party which
she has so frequently saved from discomfiture
by her increased majorities.
And, it is gratifying at this time,—upon the
eve of an important State Election—to witness
the harmony that prevails in our ranks.—
Without any undue excitement to keep them
firm in the causer the Democratic party of the
old "Tenth Legion" is prepared for the com
ing contest with an ardor and an energy even
greater than has heretofore characterized her.
t'ederalism with all the false issues which she
is endeavoring to foist into the approaching
contest, cannot seduce her from her loyalty to
the cause which she has nearest her heart—
the democratic administration of the affairs of
our State. With Abolitionism she can have
no sympathy, and with the narrow, proscrip
tive policy of Nativism; in whatever garb it
may be dressed, she can hold no communion.
Her people are faithful to the Union, and to
the compromises and guarantees of the Con
stitution.
In this region then, our Democratic breth
ren throughout the State, may expect a hear
ty support. The party here have the greatest
confidence in the administrative ability of
Gov. Bigler, and, 'with good reason for their
faith, have a firm reliance upon his moral and
political integrity. Knowing full well that it
would prove utterly fruitless, the opposition
have, thus far, made no attempt to infuse el
ements of dissention into our organization;
and this is one of the signs of promise upon
which we most confidently rely for the success
of our, candidate; for though we have no fear
..hat they would succeed in any such attempt,
t is an assurance made doubly sure to find
them disposed to forego their usual schemes
for the dismemberment of the. Party. In
view of this condition of matters at home,
and judging from the indications in other
parts of the State, we feel certain of the elec
tion of Bigler, Black and Mdtt. Let the De
mocracy of the old Keystone, then, go tuwork
in the spirit which has heretofore characterized
them, and, though our opponents may enlist
under their banner all the'isais which usually
fix themselves to the skirts of whiggery, there
will be no chance of defeat. We would there
fore, in conclusion, exhort you to be upon the
qui rice!—Easton Argus.
THE - SUNDAY LAW AND THE TAVERN KEEP
ERS—On Wednesday morning; in the Su
preme Court, before Justices Lewis, Wood
ward and Knox, the question of selling liquor
on Sunday by the. licensed tavern keepers,
came up for investigation. Daniel Burr, a li
censed tavern keeper, who was recently bound
over by Mayor Conrad,. to answer the charge
of keeping a tippling and disorderly house,
sued out a habeas corpus to have the question
tested, whether he couldbe indicted for such
an offence, when he held. a license legally ob
tained.
Messrs. David Webster, Henry M. Phillips
and William M. Meredith appeared for the de-
fendant. There was but one witness examin
ed. His name is Samuel E. Yoder, at presen
a member of the Marshal's Police, who testi
fled as follows :
On Sunday evening, the 18th of June last, I
saw a number of persons enter the tavern of
Mr. Barr. There were two squads—one con
sisting of four persons and the other of six.—
The door of the house was open, but the win
dows bowed. I went around to the Water
street front of the house and looked through
a window, which was also bowed. I saw per
sons standing up to the bar drinking, and al
so saw the money paid for it. There was no
noise nor disorder of any kind that I heard.—
Everything was quiet. Mr. Barr showed me
his license. I informed on him as a licensed
tavern keeper selling liquor an Sunday. I saw
but one sale and payment of liquor. [The wit
ness was here about to state the orders he had
received from Mayor Conrad, when Judge Lew
is informed him that he need not proceed, as
it was not necessary to the decision of the ques
tion before the Court.]
The counsel for the defendant argued, that
the evidence did not establish any indictable
offence; that although the act of 1704 punished
by a fine of $4, the following of worldly em
ployment on Sunday, yet it was not competent
to take the prohibition from that act, and in
flict the punishment contained in a totally
different act; that where two acts exist upon
any one subject, they must both be executed
where they are not in conflict. The law im
posed a penalty for selling liquor without a li
cense, or after it has expired, and a person
having a license could not be justly exposed
to a penalty under this law, although he could
be fined for a violation of the Sabbath. Seve
ral acts of Assembly and cases decided, were
cited, to show that where one punishment is
provided by law, no other punishment can be
inflicted, nor other proceedings had.
The real question in the case, it was con
tended, was—where there are two existing
statutes applicable to a different state of facts,
as to the following of a particular business,
can the penalty in one statute be applied to the
infringement of the other statute? The Act of
_1794 fixes the infraction of the Sunday law
at $4, while the penalty under the act for sel
ling liquor without license is $5O for the first
offence, and imprisonment for the second. It
was contendedi that each of these statutes
must have an application to the offence it was
designed to cure, and could not be made to
bear alike on both offences, by municipal con
struction. . .
Mr. Meredith, while he denied the legitima
cy of the construction given by Mayor Conrad
to the decision of Omit's case, paid a glowing
tribute to the good intentions of that officer,
and thanked him as man, a citizen and a law
yer, for the .peace and order he had procured
on the Sabbath day. It was a fact which no
good citizen could deny, that a great change
had taken place in the observance of Sunday,
and he had no doubt that even the respectable
portion of the tavern keepers were pleased with
the change.
The penalty, however, which it was sought
to afiply - to the introduction of the Sunday
Law, could not be so applied, according to the
decision in Omit's case. The Supreme Court
had there adjudicated the question, and had
inflicted the penalty of $4 under the act of
1794.: This, then, was the Jaw which govern
ed the question.
Judge Knox said, that had it not been for
the act of 1794, the tavern keepers, under
their license, would be authorized to sell liquor
every day in the week.
After the question had been argued, and be
fore the decision was given, Wm. B. Mann,
the Assistant District Attorney, came into
Court. It was not yet ten o'clock, the Court
having met at nine o clock, Ss it did on Tues
day also. Mr. Mann stated, that he had re
ceived notice the day before to be in Court on
that day at ten o'clock. He -was in attend
ance at that hour, and remained during the
greater part of the day, until he was informed
that the case would not be ;called until Wed
nesday. He did not know that the Court met
at 9 o'clock, and was now here at what he
believed the usual and proper hour. Finding,
however, that the matter had been argued in
his absence, he desired to take no part.
Judge Lewis remarked, that notice had been
given three times by the crier, that the Court
would meet at nine o'clock, and stated that the
whole, examination would be gone r.i thro' again,
as the witness, he aupposed, was etill in Court.
The witness not being in' Court, as lie was
infomed, he would read;the testimony to Mr.
Mann. The counsel for the defendant also
assented to this. ---
Mr. Mann declined taking part, inasmuch
as he had intended.tcrmakd a statement to the
Court before the case had been heard, and as
his witness had been examined in his absence.
Judge Lewis, after ashoit consultationwith
his associates,. said—l aid instructed to say
that it` is the unanimous opinion of. the, Court'
that an indictment will not lie against the de
fendant for the offence chilled. The remedy
is.nnder the, act of 1794. i The decision m;
Omit's case has been. misunderstood, and
Judge Woodward will, inite, opt .the opinion
of 'the Court, arid." explain hi-what - Particular
the. deon in.tat case- has bed' inisappre
