To TIM PATRONS or TII,..NORTIM PIOINSTLINISIAT.
—ln view of the verb - us circumstances affecting
this paper—l have decided upon withdrawing from
its editorial controls and from all participation in the
political affairs of Bradford county. This design I
have entertained for some months past and have
only postponed carrying it into effect until this time
at the earnest solicitation of a number of the active
supporters of the paper, and some personal friends,
whose wishes I did not feel itlibeny to disregard.
embarked in this enterprise, with strong hopes
of making the establishment a permanent and profi
table one, and also useful to the Democratic party,
More than one half in numbers, of the Democrats of
this _county, were. and still rensain, opposed to
the ab 'boon doctrines and disorganizing course
of the Re-Porter. That piper,aln fact, but the or
gan of ONE MAN ; and that man, notoriously re
garded by the sound demscracy of toe state and of
the titian. as A TRAI ['OR to the party and its prin
ciples: To fellowship with him, is to abet politi
cal treason. ,'Po follow him And blindly obey his
bidding, is the most grovelling Species of political
vassallage; sure to bring upon those who are an.
fortunate enough to do so, certaic political degra
dation. - I had every reason to believe,. that a thor
ough democratic journal. sympathizing with the par
ty in its national feelings and associations—was
?tot only needed, bin would be well sustained in
Bradford county. The experiment has been made;
and so far as I am concerned, I am forced to say, It ,
has not been successful. la , desire to censure no
one; but, with two or threeenerousandinanly ex
eeptions, few efforts have be e- ea made to give the pa.
per a circulation and support,—whilst its enemies
have, spared no labor, or pains to clog its progress
earl prevent its success. Promised aid his not been
forthcoming; and I ans,imperativety induced to
doubt whether an hcmesi, national, and radically
democratic paper eon succeed in this county. It is
true, the circumstances of my being a stranger, was,
seized upon by the tools of Wilmot; and every spe
cies of falsehood employed against me personally,
and against the paper. My efery motive was be
lied; and my every hope mistaken. Purposes new.
er dreamed of—and parties with whom I never had
the remotest concert, were put , prominently forward
to prejudice the people of this county against my
projects: and opposition, bitter, relentless and dis
honorable has assailed me at every step. So far as
lam iodividoallr concerned, I could have borne all
this, and battled with my enemies to the last, if I
could see any useful result in prospect.
I thank, most sincerely, those personal frientle—of
both parties, who have extended me their counte
nance and support. Theirkkindness and confidence
falling upon the heart of a stranger, has made the
most indelible impression—on which neither time
nor distance wilfever efface; and which will always
be recalled and acknowledged with the most trate
ful emotions. WEIN pORNEY. •
Wwi's idea of tithdrawing • " from alt partici
pation in tee political affairs of Bradford" is a pleas
ant ftarent of the imagination, as the part he has
played therein, has been so small art to be imper
ceptible. So of his aseenion that " one half in
number of the Dem - rends of this county, were, and
still remain opposeillto the abolition doctrines and
disorganizing course of she Reporter."° If so; they
have a singular way of making their opposition
•manifest—by liberal patronage, and by resolutions
approving of our course, adopted at Township meet
ings and in County Conventions. Ah ! no,. Wein
You found the Dentocracyot Bradford firmly united,
and your weak efforts and the malignant slanders of
your masters only made that party the stronger in I
unity. Your attempts to mike them believe they
were about equally divided were failures; your
mission unsuccessful. Your efforts have been to
bring about such a state of things, but have been
of no avail.
We are extremely sorry our lamented •friend
should exhibit en much ill•humor. T -sure, his
mission to Bradford had produced o good fruits ;•
his cherished hopes may Isere • blasted—his
. aniicipations never realized ut if Wein was can
did he would say that it is they the fault of his
backers, than of any one else. We gave him the
best advice, on-the occasion of his debut, we were
capable of giving, both as to the state of inane and
of men bere—gc:r Wan bus ir not been proven

hang like a mill-stone around the neck of the
weak baadingss-aedthat this paper is to be they

protest against this sasamption, - and this =manly
Way' of giving him the cold gladder. The owner
and conductor of the concern, he has always sup
plied whatever there was of talent to the e paper—
and we shall see hereafter, that though his friends
may refuse to accede to him 'due credit for his la

ral months he has been at large on bail, while the
elder, Connive, has been undergoing close con
finement end medical treatment, at the hospital of
the Sisters of Charity. His insanity is of the mei
embolic order, and at times he appears quite ra

and e-caped to the streets. Search was made, but
_ineffectually, till his brother. Raymond recollected
that he had often expressed aidesire to go to the
country seat of Mr. Charles Chouteau, seven miles

sire to execute this man for homecides be evident.

turned and went to the .depot at the lime when
Phelps invited him to go to his uncle's, where he
supposed his brother was with the horses They
proceeded down the railroad, and shortly alter pas
sing the bridge Swayze was struck down by a blow
from a third person, and robbed of 1200 dollars in

been carefully attended, and remained in bed in a

TZLEGRAPIIII UNDICR THE ATLASITM-A writer in
the ScientifrAmerican, H. L. Swart, Esq., Civil
Engineer, takei strong ground in favor of the prac
livability of a, a sub-marine telegraph between
America and Europe. He proposes to coat four
separate wires in a solid Gotta Pemba conf, one
and three-fourths of an inch in diameter ; •and to
oink this, by snouts of anchors, as was done 'be
*een Calais and paver.' He urges, however, that
the anchors should be heavier than those used on
that occasion. In laying Jowl. the him he thinks
that fifteen ships of one thousand tons, and two fast
steamers as tenders. The distance between Cs
'
Clear, in Ireland,. to a point about one hunt d
miles above Halifax, is sixteen hundred mile . A
hue of this length, such as is proposed to e ploy,
would weigh nearly eight thousand tons, d re.
quire six hundred asic-hors. The cost of everything,
when in complete wanking order, is estimated, by
Mr. Stuart,rt not over three millions of dollars.—
The wire could be laid down in twenty days, and
would projietily last one hundred years.- The tine
would be sunk below all anchorage, and below all
action of the water. A sub-marine telegraph, .of
this deecripion,has been projected between. Ens
land and Irelan g
; @TAM it should succeed, the at
kampt will be made in the broad Atlantic.

Irishman; by the name of Nicholas Kelley, some
50 rods above the Depot in this village, killing him
instantly. The engineer disovering him on , the

stop the train, at the same time making every fort
to drive thc man from the track, failing in which,
and the train being too near him when discovered
to be brought to a stand before reaching him, 11.
was of course run over and killed. His body wa
howibly 'mangled and his leapt sca ttered — in every
direction, presenting altogether a most ekkening
spectacle... Deceased was from Corning, ,ear&about
21 year; of sge ;arid although it is not known that he
was intoxicated at the time of accident, the neces
