Attempted lturstary.
The Owego Advertiser, of the 7th int}, gives the
following account of a most daring attempt . at
Burglary, Which happily proved unsuccessful..
On Friday night last, an attempt was made to
enter and rob the House of Mr. Hamilton Lamont,
in the east part of 'this town. Late in the night,
Mrs. Lamont was awakened by the noise of the
burglar, getting in at the window,..and she imme
diately aroused her husband Who sprang out of
bed and succeeded in catching hold of the fellow's
head, but his hat slipping oft he escaped, leaving
it in the hands of Mr. L. While struggling with
the villian, Mr. L. laid his hand on a case knife
which happened to be7Z — a table near the window
with which he marked the robber on his hand or
wrist. The hat, now in possession of Mr. Lamont,
has betrayed the owner, who has absconded.
• Not long since a sum of money was'tolen from
a public house' nt the neighboring town of Titrga,
and an innocent person was arrested on suspicion
of the theft. There is now strong reason to be
'lieve that the burglar above alluded to was the
thief, and that Ins success encouraged him to pur
sue his criminal course. Nov, that he is suspect
ed, he will probably keep clear of this region.:r—
Mr. Lamont had recently returned from a trip
down the river, and had brought back a large suin
of money. This was the bait which lured the
villiin.

/Mew b nicks Wan I
krielod WEBB, of the Tioga Banner, thus replies
to the Pennsylvanian's condolence upon the remo
val of the late Postmaster at Harrisburg. He tells
the truth in a plain, straight forward way. The
es• Postmaster it was, who said in 1846, there were
- but half a dozen papers in the state opposed to the
tanff of 1842 ! He also prefessed,, a strict neutral
ity upon the subject of the presidency in 1248, but
upon being appointed Postmaster, suddenly resign.
ed his neutral position. But the following " fancy
sketch" is to the life -.=-=
"Gocid say we. if there is tine tiel tot Which
Taylorism should be lauded, it is the removal of
of [Luc G. McKim-Ey, the Editor :of the lying
corrupt, and servile tool of the dishonest office

McKinley, (and -we might add, and his kidney
epologists,) than there is in the "greatest scoun

Bank. He was the soapy-adulator of the "favor

his proportion of the funds upon which she isisted,
and received therefor thevery office from which he
is now joraly removed. He is the' good-devil"
advocate of all monopolies, corporations, and ape
elai privileges le which are necessary," and all are
nlcessarj, whiCh open to him their money-drawer.
In 1816, he was the ultra friend of the 'l2 Tariff,
and he even went so far as to say that "no man
who was not opposed to the Tariff of 1816., and in
favor of the restoration of the Tariff of 1812, could
be elected Governor! In 1817, the lamented
Shunkwas chosen, and this " honest democrat,"
McKinley, has sirce abused every man who favor- -
ed the "British whig Tariff of 1812," He has ever
opposed the " Wilmot Proviso," and all kindred
measures of freedom, and advocates the mainte.
nance of the 'humbug doctrine of the "compromis
es of the constitution," which In plain English is,
" give the South all she asks, and let her alone in
what she possesses.' McKinley "k democrat

of that " rotten and corrupt" kind which the Lae

Itanages of the Cholera al Fort Gibson—Depredations
oftke Indians on the Rio Grande--Col. Kinney Kill
ed—lndian Attila on Camarge---The Cholera
among the California Emigrants,
New ORLEANS, June 3, 1849:
We have dates here to day from Fort Gibson to
the 25th ult., which state that the cholera is raging
in that region to a great extent.
On the Walnut branch, Mr:Seckell has lost 15 of
his negroes, and Mr. Briscoe as many on adjoin
ing plantation, himself also being among the Tic
tirllS. In his case the ilssease proved fatal in 3 or
4 horns, it being the opinion of the physician that
vitality was destroyed the moment he was attacked.
Others in the same neighborhood have likewise lost
a number of their slaver.
We have lengthy accounts from Corpus Christi,
of the depredations of the Indians between the Nue
ces and the Rio Grande. They entered the town
of San Pad Legan on the 18th, stole a number 01
horses, and carried off large quantities of stock In
this affair Cal. Kinney and another man were killed.
A number of Mexican Indians crossed the river,
entered the town of Camargo, killed several per
sons and carried off a number of horses and cattle.
Capt. Adams, of the U. S. Navy, had arrived at
Galveston, and left for the Sabine pass.
The cholera had broken out at Victoria and car
ried off 34 members of the " New York Fremont
California Association.", Four cases had also occurr
ed in Waahingtpn county, on the Brazos, all prov
ing fatal.
Espere—Tordkt of tee Jury.
The Coroner's Jury find that the deceased per
sons came to their death on the night of Thursday
May 17th, by drowning, aboard the steamer Em
pire which was sank in the Hudson river, near
Newburg, by coming in collision with the schr.
Noah Brown. That the said steamer was coming
up the river and the said schr. going down, beat
ing against the wind. That the Jury believe that
said collision was occasioned by the lack of vigi
lance on the pad of Levi Smith, pilot of the
Empire not seeing the said echr. soon enough to
avoid her, and by the conduct of Richard Robin
son, Capt. of said Behr., in adhering to the customs
of the river, that a sailing vessel on the wind,
meeting a steamboat, may keep her course, while
if he had sooner gone about he might have avoid
ed said collision.
Coostearaxv Moirxr.-0a Monday last, one
dollar counterfeit bills were sown in Danville by
vigilant and expert operators—chiefly on the bank
of New Brunswick. E. Trego, Esq. issued war
rants, and pursuit was made. The word having
been passed on to Bloomsburg, the Constable of
L a
that townshi hailed two of the fancy on the tow
path, above ' y, and arrested one of them with
out much torn ~who called himself William Sion
ker, and who is represented to us to be • lame
man. The other one, who calls himself -leave
Crawford, and resides in Black Hole Valley, Ly
coming county, attempted to give his pursuers leg
bail. He dashed through the Canal, and into the
river, but finding the water too deep for him, and
being unable to swim, he (*tune back to shore of his
own accord, and was taken, regardless of threats
and remonstrances j and we understand they were
both loiged in jail at Bloomsbust.
Henry Somers, Inkeeper, of McEwenaville, was
also in town on the occasion, and passed several of
the spurious bills, to different persons. He wager
s stud in this place on Wednesday morning, hav
ing returned, as he alleged, for the purpose of re•
deeming the bills he had passed. He was taken
before E. - Trego, Esq. and bound over till Thins
day noon, to procure dill for his appearance at the
next Court.. The bail then offered not being satis

me a line or two in regard to my position as a can
didate for the presidency, has been dul_y_received.
In reply I have to say THAT I Ale NUT A PARTY

I afn dear sir with high mil:reel and regard, your
mosti obedient servant.
George Lipped, Foci.' Philadelphia, Pa.
This you will remember, was after you had
accepted the whig nomination in a letter which
said nothing at all about %big principles.
The publication of your letter of July 24th crea
ted a great excitement among the people and the
politicians.
Whig papers in New York denounced it as a
Licotoco - forgery. The North American, in.
Philadelphia, (once the organ of Henry Clay and;
now the northern organ of the Sscietary of data,
relied upon the word •" Private," and in weary
columns assailed the person to whom the letter was
addressed, as the betrayer of your confidence.—
Other journals, however, which circulated among
the masses, hailed the letter with unqualified ap
proval and placed at the head of their columns as
"the areal creed and watchword of the Taylor
Part must I must frankly.tell yon that had you to made the
declaration embraced to this letter, I for one could
not have advocated your election, nor given you
my vote. Certain it is, that without thiedeclaration
(soon followed by your Charleston letter,) you
could not have gaineitt the vote of Pennsylr
famous for thousand."
Whalwas the result and of the excitement im
mediately consequent upon its publicatiOn I The
whig party in Pennsylvania forthwith drepped the
very name of whig. They stored it array—per
chance under the sepulchre of tliniors squandered
bequest may be under the minaof some broken bank
you well know, and every reader of the papers
knows that for the late compaign the battle was
fought, not nuder the name of Whig, but under the
united names of "Taylor and Fillmore."
The democrats wereasked to vote for you as the
independent candidate—the candidate of the peo
ple—as the man who had no friends to reward, no
enemies to punish—in fact, as Zachary Taylor who
in ease of his election, would not be President of a
party but the President of the whole people.
And with your letter in my hand, 1 addre.sed
thousands of my democratic fellow-citizens, and on
the security of your broken faith, stated that you
could not in any event, become the President muh
less the creature of a party.. Upon your own solemn
declaration, I honestlyadvoclued you as " the Pres:
ident of the whole people."
I did not fora moment indulge the thougit that
you could ever become the centre of a mere party
administration. Had I been told by you that you
would ever become the head of an administration
made up of whig politicians, I could not in any
case have advocated your claims, nor would have
received the vote of a htmdied democrats its Penn
sylvania.
Now, general, the smoke of the contest has
cleared awayy. You are the President. Elected
upon the faith of tour solemn pledges, you are at
the head of the government.
Have you fulfilled these. pledges I Ask your
own heart—call back that tau purpose, that clear=

fellow-citizens that you had never broken your word
and could not forget to.morrow what you pledged

You know that the whig party of itsef or by its

best instincts which God implanted in hia nature—
could never have elevated yon to the presidentia
