REPORTER : Wednesday, December 1844. Fairer Prospects. The.anxiety, and excitement which has pervaded _classes of cominunity daring the`late `•.political campaign' ii ...passing away" and- things - are begin eing, to .wear theft' usual and natural as pect. Right glad are we that the crisis is Past, :and the excitement subsided.-= vtan wrought - Ai fcr nn tintinturg pitCh; and could not have remained at such a height`for any great lengtkof•time with out working serious;injury to the social stale of society. But we Said, the crisis is past, and things again appear natural. Neighbors meet each Other with a smile instead of a frown, and friends greet each other with a a cordiality; which, to say, the least, has been pent up by restraint fOr theiast few months. This is right, and proves emphatically the _virtue and intelligence of the people. It may be taken also as the strongest proof of the perpetuity of our institutions. " While ever) one is afinorbed in the deepest in: terest in public affairs, and especially in the election of a chief magistrate of the nation, yet, when the result is known, acquiescence in the decree, and en tire submission to the will of the people, follows as a matter of course, and all par ties, the victors and the vanqnished, are ready to greet each other as triends and forget that they have been warring, even politically one against the other. How beautifully -are, thus shadowed forth the principles of our free institutions, and the charms of a republiein government. All are on a common Jebel. The rich has no more = powerl at the ballot box than the poor, and the will of the majori ty when legally .expressed is received as the law - of the land. in the heat of the . late contest, frienils have been estranged, we hope that mutual forbearance and allowance for the imperfections of our natures, will soon eradicate every, miigiving and restore their former friendly feelings, and that the entire community may wear its won ted smile of repose. For our own part we can truly 'say, that we have offended none willingly— and if, in our zeal for the cause we es pouse, we have wounded the feelkiiof any, we sincerely regret it, and as we freely " forgive those who have trespas sed against us," we hope to receive the same courtesy at the hands of our oppo nents.' Tim Legislature of this State - will con vene on the first Tuesday in January, the 7th day of the month. The election of United States Senator to succeed Hon. D. Sturgeon takes place on the second Tuesday. The inauguration of Mr. Skunk, Governor elect, on the third Tuesday (21,) in presence of both branch es of the Legislature, Governor, heads of departments &e. The State Treasu rer is elected in joint meeting of both houses on third Monday of January.. The approaching, winter bids fair to be one of more than usual interest at Harrisbuig to strangers and politicians. I FATHER MATHEW INVOLVED IN DIY FICULTIES.-A. public subscriptioni has been commenced for the relief of Fa ttier Mathew, the apostle of temperance, who, by his liberality in suppoit of the , cause, has involved himself in great and ruinous pecuniary difficulties.— Loid Clonburry has" contributO It appears from a paragraph in the Cork Examiner, that the Rev. Mr. Mathew has actually been arrested for debt.— His debts ire'said to amount to .25:00O. The money now collecting will speedi ly exceed this sum, and leave the. , phi lanthropic friar •something in hand.

David Wilnitit for the United States Si riate. Mr. Wilmot is a native of Wayne co., and her i skinaliave just eause to protid of him. If the : Northern Democracy hope ,to have their interest sustained, and their principles eloquently vindica ted, let them unite on Hon.. David Wil; -mot. In his , hands the rights,, of Penn-, sylvania, would find a safe and steadfast friend. . We publish below the article alluded to from the Herald' ' • We not Only- cheerfully, but with pleasure, give place the following communication . from a distinguished De, mocrat. Mr. Wit.mozand Judge WOOO - are both natives of this county : both worthy and well qualified for the high office named ; both have many warm friends arid ardent admirers, at the North, especially in this county. Had we,been aware that Mr; Wilmot's friends here or in Bradfordo intended to bring his name before the people, and the te 7 gisfature, for the office of U.S. Senator, we should certainly have stood neutral between him and . Judge Woodward.-- We will continue to urge the rights of the North ; we will publish communi cations from the friends of both these distinguished sons of old Wayne, but we will not intermeddle between them, or give either of them a preference over the other in our columns. We hope that the friends Of these gentlemen, will yet be able to unite on one of them, and present an unbroken, undivided strength n behalf of Northern Pennsylvania, when the proper time, arrives; nothing short of this we- think, can secure the choice of a U. S. Senator from Northern Pennsylvania, where it clearly of right belongs." -- [For the Wayne County Herald.] U. S. SENATOR-MR. ALLEN..-Sir I concur wiih you that it is not im- proper or premature to draw the atten tion of the Democratic party" to some person as a suitable colleague. of JAMES Bucimixx. You have expresed, ythir preference; allow me to express mine. We want a man who has been distin- guished in this crisis—who openly and fearlessly has been a champion of - the cause when danger threatened, and the calamity of '4O• overwhelmed it—who labored to rally our scattered forces, and to lead them on the victory of '44 one who is • in principle, in feeling. in character a Democrat. lam decidedly opposed to the selection of •any man for that high ' and distinguished station, who has not been thoroughly tried in the period of our adversity—whose po sition in our recent struggle has been like that of a valiant - soldier on the field of conflict, ready to sacrifice himself for the cause he has espoused. The cpuntry is indebted to such men. On all the great questions which were dis cussed in the recent campaign, we know where such men . are to be found. -Let the men who have thus distinguish ed themselves be remembered in pref erence to those whose only position was that of interested spectatord. I knOw of no man in Northern Pennsyl vania, on whom the honor' olan elec tion to the United States'lSenate, could , be more deservedly conferred, than on DAVID WILMOT Esq - 7, of Bradford' County; Mr: Wilmot is a native of Wayne County, and is now a member elect of the next Congress. He is not in - any respect.inferior in talents to any of those whose names have been men tioned in connection with that office, while for many important reasons he is superior. — lle has struggled against adverse circumstances, an 4 without the advantages of wealth or influential.rela dyes, has attained a distinction seldom the lot of men of his age. A more elo quent advocate of our , cause—a more clear and comprehensive expounder of its principles, has not taken, the field. He is a Democrat without guile, in whose--hands in any crisis, and on all. occasions, our interests would be safe. No man has _a stronger sympathy for the , neglected masses than he ;,none whose fellings and talents are more earnestly enlisted for theitinterests.- - - h is true; he is young;- but it can with certainty be said of him, thin he has done as much. if not more, to advance our cause, than those' of more years. whose names have been mentioned, for the same station. In any particular. with his want of age, he would - not suf fer in - comparison with any of his coin pi3titors.• . • r He has the discernment of age,the vig: or and energy of youth, Few , men.of his age. enjoy to' the extent which he does, the confidence of otheri. On I him, I believe the active and energetic portion - . of the deinocratic party of the North would unite, with more cordiali. ty, than on any other:Whose name has been motioned. The .

Cherry gave,Petriken 149, Pollock la notwithstanding the efforts of disorganizers and.treacherous democrats. 1 „ ,We are, imformed by a gentleman conversant with the fact, that in Chertv township, 'looming county, at the election for Governor, tuembers'of Con gress, &c.. after the polls were opened and about sixty votes deposited in the ballot box, the Locofoco Judges and In spectors discovering that the friends of Pollock had circulated imitatiott tickets, _ond presamiming that some of the "De inocracy ” had thus been induced se cretly to vote for the Tariff candidate, took the responsibili4 to stop the voting. throw out the votes that had been polled, and commence the balloting anew.— This is about as high-handed a proceed- ing as we have lately heard of. The township is thoroughly Locofoco—tiv. ing Petriken 109 votes, and Pollock 16 ! and exhibits Locofocoism in all its beauties. CONFLICT WITH A MAD Doo.—The Charleston Mercury gives an account of a desperate conflict . ivhich a Mr. Hap poldt, of that city had with a mad dog. He was out hunting, and, observing that his dog exhibited strange symptoths; tied it with a handkerchief to a saplittg, and leaned his gun against a tree. On returning towards his gun he found the dog. evidently ma d, r in the act of tear ing itself loose and-making l at him.— Without being able to reach his gun, Mr. H. ran into some water near and stood on a log until the dog, having gone - out of sight, he was returning for his gun, when suddenly a dog rushed upon him over a hillock, and he ()illy -escaped being bitten bylseizing the rabid animal by the throat. A struggle ensued between them for more than half an hour , requiring the exertion of all the muscular power of the assailed, while the dog mangled its own tongue dreadfully and covered H. with foam and blood. He -at last succeeded in getting off his belt, putting it around the dog's neck and buckling it to the stem of a small bush, regained his gun aad shot the dog. Mr. H., though he'es caped without a scratch, was much ex hausted, and the muscles of his arms were swollen from the exertion for two days after. TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT EXPLOSiON.-= Loss of life.—On Wednesday, the 13th inst.,.as we learn from the N. 0. Pi cayune, while the steam tow-boat Ti ger was towing, over the bar at the S. W. Pass the barque Marcia, she burst all her boilers, six in number, making a perfect wreck of the boat even to her guards, and killing three - persons and wounding three more slightly. Fortu nately, before the accident, all hands had been called aft a short time to haul .in the spring cable, or morelives would have been lost. Capt. Crowell, the master. was uninjured. The following are the names'of the killed : Capt. Daniel B. Clark, pilot, of N. Orleans; David Brown, Ist, engineer, of New York ; A. Snyder, 2d engineer, of Canada. The remains of the two lat ter were recovered. Clark's bodyewas seen flying in the air at the explosion and has not been recovered. - Two THANKSGIVINGS:4n Chicago they will have twiThanksgivingdays this yeay, - their Mayor haviog appoint ed. the 14th inst. for one, and Gov.
