after a brief address replied to the arguments of
the defence , in reference to the law of bribery,
and contended that although formerly bribery
U'3s oniv indictable at common law, against
jodictal offieers. and those who offered bribes
to those connected with judicial proceedings,
vet the law was now enlarged, and it was
well settled, both in this CiTuntry and in Eng.
land. that bribery of persons connected, in
anu way.with civil government. was punisha
ble by indictment. He read Russell on crimes
.inilseveral other English authorities to sus
tain his position. He thought that the reason
trtir there were no case of indictments in the
Courts of legrslative bribery in England, was
found in the ahtindant corruption in England.
He Contended, that it made no difference
whether money was given to procure a good
or . bad art ; anti that if the jury belived that
Itamel M'Cook offered or gave money to
Victor E. Piollet, to vote for or procure a re
port in favor of the Lehigh County Bank,
whether the charges against the bank were
true or lake, it was tlt Y etr duty 'to bring in a
verdict id guilty.
He Mot commented on the evidence, and
undertook to vindicate both Mr. Piollet and
Mr. Galloway from the seeming inconsis
tencies of Mot testimony, and the contradic
tion t - other witnesses. He passed a high
v uloily upon Mr. G alto way and concluded witii
al appeal to the jury to vindicate the
purity (rf rite Commonwealth. and the
oilier id the State.

respondence of the Journal of Commerce. an
hits - es-tin description of this adventurous
pioneer, in the settlement of those parts.

OOTRAGE.—A barbarous outrage was per
petrated in Washington parish. Louisiana,
upon the person of a young lady, daughter of
Mr. Lewis B. Cutter,- by a negro matt. The
flolmesville (Miss) Free Press state that the
negro entered the room throutth a windcw.

deadly purpose, severely beating and bruising
her head, and leaving her there, weltering in
her blood, as dead. The negrci suspected of
the crime is the property of Mr. Alex. Brum

ARKASSAS Duirr.—The debt or Arkansas is
$.3.200,000. The Arkansas paper contend that
the interest on this debt cannot be paid. One

that it never looked more healthy or forward.

Tue fact is well known, that Bn•Nnitrrit's Pima

the same root, which is impurity of the circulating fluid,

States, they have restored to perfect OFALTH and enjoy

given over as incurable by Physicians of the first rank
and standing, and in many cases when every ether ie
meily hail been resorted to in vain.
The great secret is to have the medicine by you when
you are first attacked with sickness; one dose then will
have more good effect than twenty, if you put it off un
til disease has enfeebled the bodily powers; therefore
every individual who considers health a blessing, should
always keep a box of Brandrelh's Vegelable r Universal
Pills where they can be sure-to lay their hands on them
when wanted. Twenty-five cents cannot possibly be
better disposed of. A valuable life may be saved, or a
long fit of sickne-s prevented.

A FACT WORTH KNOWING
A gentleman of a scrofu:ous habit, became affected
with Ulcerations of the Throat and Nose, and a dis
agreeable and troublesome disease of the skin. Indeed,
his whole system bore the marks of being saturated with
disease. One hand and wrist were so much affected
that he had lost the use of the hand, every part being
covered with deep, painful, and off live Ulcers, and his
hand and wrist were as hollow and porous as a honey
comb. It was at this stage of his complaint, when
death appeared inevitable from a loathsome disease, that
he commenced the use of i•T NE ' S A LTEIIATIV E, and
having taken sixteen bottles, is now perfectly cured.—
Public Ledger.
This ALTERATIVE operates through the circula
tion and purifies the blood and eradicates diseases from
from the system, wherever located; and the numerous
cures it has performed in diseases of the Skin, Cancer,
Scrofula, Goitre, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, and other
Chronic diseases, is truly astonishing. -

4,000 large imperial octavo pages, and is illustrated
