THE OPPOSITION TO THE PRESI
DENT..
The Republican Senators who are
\.
opposing President aura;
.seem -to
orget that they only can influence
he people who come to them with
clean hands and pure motives; and,
that their prompt suspicions and Ar-
gus-eyes enttblothem qqtckly to dis
cern the presence of taint in the
movements and talk of public char-
acters, so that disingenuous artifices
in debate to cover up truth are
almost always fatal to him who calls
them into requisition, for they are
talten_as eyidence of personal dishon
esty and a bad cause, and so many
demagogues come to woe through
these instrumentalities, that wedcap-
not but wonder at men having as

because of the ruin it invokes.—,as to
stoop to such an . ignoble warfare as
they are making upon the President
'ocl store! and
,n, Canada; hare
finured. -
at the present time:
These men flreltiot fools as all have
heretofore supposed, and they know
as well as any that it is not the
wrong doing that is charged upon a
man that harts him, but the wrong
he really commits. Therefore, ha is
regarded a fool who ruins himself by
the commission of bad deeds, and if
&TUNER, Tnumpria,, and GREELEY
think at all upon the subject, they
must know , that false charges made
against the President either directly
or by implication, will htirt -them
most. Or, have they become so vain
from constant success and immense
I.audation, as to suppose they can be
mean, tricky, and pusillanimous with
impunity? Do they imagige the
people do not see under their busy
and noisy declamations agains,t cor
ruption, the foll purpose of a malig
nant spirit, roused into fury by the
disappointment of•theifsinister arts
to control the President? If SUMNER'S
personal lackey had not been remov
ed from office, if GanEfir and FEN
TON - could control the federal ap
pointments in New York, and TRUM
BULL those of Illinois, these ' men
would still be the friends of GnAN'r.
The people see this, and seeing they
appreciate properly the work these
worthies are at. And the question
is,' can ..hose men aflord thus to
destroy themselves? Are they wise
in - working so earnestly to this 'end?
Strange infatuation that prompts,
men to dig pit-falls_ for others; and
fall in themselves.
We are led to these reflections- by
reading the reported debate on the
preamble and resolution, providing
for the - ;appointment of a Senatorial
committee to inquire into the sup
posed frauds committed by govern
ment officials who sold the surplus
rifles.
In this preamble, it is alleged tha
there is a discrepettcy of $1,700,000
between the financial repprt of the
Treasury Departm - ent and War office.
Mr. EDMUNDS, of Vermont, proved
the allegation false in every particu
lar, and still SUMNE.R & arenrg
ing the passage yf the preamble.
What kind of fairness is there in
this? And in his speech in reply to
Scotaz, Mr. FRELINGLIUYSEN spoke of
the great injUsticeldone these officers
and others of the government,against
whom fraud had been alleged, intim
ating that in justice to these officials,
these charges shOuld be retracted,
since their falsity was known; instead
of this however, the opposition Sen
ators in all they had to say, not only
assumed all the charges made to be
true, but still repeated them. Mr.
FRELDWIMSEN, failing to draw from
Scum= anything—save the most con
temptible quibbling and evasions,ap
pealed to SUMNER, of Mass.; saying,
" I do believe that that Senator in
accordance with his known magnani
mity, will op6nly tell whether these
charges against the Secretary of the
Treasury, and the Secretary of War
are abandoned." But Mr. SUMNER'S
magnanimity had stepped out, if he
ever had any, for-not a word did he
utter then and there in reply. Was
this manly not and worthy of a great
Senator? r
'
If we souls accuse any of our
county officers with making mistate=
meats in their accounts, and frauds
ititheir official transactfons,and these
should be proven untrue to our faces,
what would be thought and said of
us if we still insinuated their truth
place of retracting them? Could
we escape the charge of baseness ?
And will the United States Senators?
That however, which is most likely
to prove disastrous to the reputations
of SUMNER, GUEEIV4-& Co., lathe
consistency of their past professions
with their present position. These
men have been leaders in the Repub
lican party, have done much in de

PIMADIMPUU. Feb„ 5, 1812:
Democrats have few arguments and
objections to urge against the Be-
Pablican party, and its administra
tion of the government, exeispi these
furnished by these former ksiders;
ma the Beimblicans are defeated
at the coining Presidential election,
it Will be through the assistance thus
given. It does not do for these men
to say they are only fighting corrupt
ion, for everybody knows they are
fighting Gs.t.vr, and that the cry of
corruption is raised to cover up their
unprincipled behavior. The corrupt
ions they allege to exist in the col
lection of the customs of the large
cities, have been asrife ddring other .
administratiOns,. and whilst these
men have held the same public and
responsible positions. Why haVe
they been silent so long? The ma
lignant spurs of revenge had not
goaded them. on.
These know very well that
themorals of a nation are ever im
paired or loosened by war, and that
the effects of this is always seen and
felt in the administrations of govern
ments long after the cause has sub
sided. But Suns n, Gitrzim, &co.,
are far from making any allowance
en this score, for the present admin . -
istration of the general government.
They know too that under the most
watchful, and the purest administra
tions, bad men will get into office.
But no extenuation do GnAyr's per
sonal enemies allow for this. They
hate him and they must try to crush
him. A pitiible sight indeed, it i$
o see such men' so belittle 'them-
se yes.
These merifuld no fault with the
President in respect to principles.
He carries out the laws and the doc
trines of his party, and trusting to
this end they helped to cleat him,
Now they strive to send the party, its
principles, and its administration to
the dogs. Consistent volitjcians and
honest men, these! They have be
lieved and preached a lie heretofore,
or they are believing and preaching
one now,.and which is it? We com
mon people, and line-back Republi
cans want to inlow.

increase in all kinds except sheep,
the recent appreciation in the value
of the latter not having yet had time
to produce its legitimate effect by
swelling the size •of flocks. The
report contains a synopsis of the pro

amount of miscellaneous information
of value to farmers and stock-raisers.

has been using his influence -to ac
complish this end: •
During tho unavoidable absence of
Senator PITCH from his seat in the
Senate on the fith,inst., Mr. Ilawnsia.
Senator from Schuylkill county, read
a bill requiring the commissioners of
this county to erect county buildings
at Troy. and appropriating one hun
dred thousand dollars for that purpose.
The bill-was sent to the printing of
fice to: be printed; but was never
placed upon the files in the Senate
and House as such papers'are requir
ed to be: The number of the bill on
the index to the calendar was also
omitted, showing collusion on `the
part of some one in the State Print
er's office. Although the bill was
never seen by either Senators or Rep
xesentatives, until the 14th of March
after its passage, Col. PIOLLET was in
possession of a copy on the .7th and
had employed men to circulate peti
tions in the eastern townships, ask
ing the Legislature to grant HERDIC
-his new county. If the Colonel de
nies this charge, we are prepared to
furnish - the names of the men em
ployed by him for that- purpose.
This was done with' the fall knowl
edge on his Bart that the bill had
been introduced and put through in
a dishonest, underhanded manner,
unbeknown to the Senator and mem
bers from this districtor io the people
of Troy.
What Mr. Pioux-rr's motive was
we leave-the people of this colfnty to
conjecture. The fact that he has
been working in the interest of the
HERDIC scheme is too patent to be
denied, and we leave the' great re
former (?) to explain what induce
ments PETER Hennlc held out to him
to enlist his active services in his be
half.
le" The Argus of last week, sends
up a terrible howl over the manage
ment of our county affairs. This di
atribe might have some influence
over people whO have never taken
the trouble to examine the accounts
in the commissioners' office, if the
Jtidge did not openly proclaim that
he was instigated thereto by the re
fusal of the commissioners to adver
tise in the Argu. , :.
The same article says :
" Tha largo annual expenditure of money
(our readers help to contribute), that is paid
for printing,) all goes in to swell the overloaded
pockets of the Towanda Postmaster and the
Custom House Surveyor, pap organ editors."
By referring to the published state . -
ment_of the commissioners, it will be
seen that. - $571 were • expended for
printing ; of this sum the BEroirrri
received two hundred and twenty-fire
dollars for advertising, which is lower
than any other paper in the State
having the circulation of the Itspon-.
TER, does the same amount of adver
tising for. The balance - of the money
-.was paid for election blinks and ad
vertising in the Argus and other pa
pers of the county.
We make the assertion, and defy
the .I rya.. or any one else to contra
dict it, that tlacre is not another
county in the State where the finan
ces arc managed as economically as
in Bradford county. -
In saying that the - commissioners
collected ser . entmsevell thousand dol
lars last year, the author of the Ar
,
guS article knew ho - was telling an
unmitigated falsehood !'as the report
published laSt month shows that
only si.rly.-e . ight thousand dollars was
received, a n d that the ordinary ex
penses of the'county, exclusive of the
new jail,.were less than $24;000.
The insinuations against the com
missioners and other officers, are
simply ridiculous, as the editor of the
Argus and everyone who has given
the matter any, attention, knows that
the work on' the new jail is being
prosecuted with the utmost economy.
and honesty. ; We da not 'ask the
people to 4.ccept: our assertion in this
matter, but invite them to come and
examine the work .for themselves..

script, - a Democratic Journal, states
editorially that Col. McClure has ex
amined, nine hundred :Witnesses, and
has only proven one hundred 'and

This town belongs to Austria, 'laid is situated

the red marble church of St. Maggioere,) the
famous Council of Trent held Its sessions. Dur-

obnoxious to some, and of that number, the
women formed the greater, and; as it has prov
ed, by far the most resolute and stronger por
tion. Mutterings have for some time been
heard against the dealing out of intoxicating
beverages. And last night the women of this
place, to the number of twenty-five,—mothers,
thrightera, and wives from the most worthy
families of the place—proceeded, without warn
ing, to the objects of their dislike, and, after
slight resistance offered at the first saloon,
made qniek'and effective work in the demoli
tion of.easks, decanters; jogs, bottles, ke., and
poured the contents into the street. For the
distance of over a block the gutter was swim
ming with whisky, and the-interiors of the sa
loons presented a scene of ruin that ono sel
dom beholds in a community: After complet
ing the work they bad set out to do the ladies
quietly relnrned to their homes. But they still
express their determination to persevere in
the temperance cause, and to repeat this per
formance whenever it may become necessary.
Pontnoy's PLEA.—The an
swer to the complaint of Sadie E. Wilkinson
of New Haven, Conn., for breach of promise of
marriage, against Mark If. Pomeroy, was filed
in the Clerk's office of the United States Dis
trict Court at New York on Thursday. The de
fendant 'denies that he ever, at any time or in
any manner, solicited the plaintiff in marriage,
and that the plaintiff was unmarried at the time
when she avers be praniised to marry her, 'fliq
defendant further alleges that at the times
aforesaid he was a married man, and incapable
of entering into a marriage contract, and that
this the plaintiff well knew; and he further says
that at the aforesaid times "the plaintiff was
habitually intemperate and of a violent disposi
tion and temper, and generally represented
among her neighbors so to be, of which the
defendant was ignorant at that time ; that on
divera occasions afterward the plaintiff threat
s
ened personal violence to defendant, and with
a pistol andother dangerona weapons imrsued
defendant from time to time :nap:ace to place,
so that he greatly feared that his life was in
danger; and that the conduct, habits, and dis
position and temper of Abe plaintiff were such,
as lie Las learned since the times in said com
plaint mentioned, that she was not a fit person
to enter into the marriage contract with any
person." And in answer to the allegation of
the plaintiff,that by reason of the alleged prom
iEC of the defendant to marry her, she was pre,
vented from receiving the attentions of other,
persons with a view to marriage, the defendant
says that if sail plaintif liar not received such
attentions it was in conskiquence of her intem
perate habits and her unkovernable and violent
temper and disposition, which render her unfit
to enter into a marriage contract with any per
son or persons whatsoever. - By the sworn state
ment of Pomeroy's connsel it appears that he is
now in the WeFt,an.l when last heard from was
In ii an-as. .
—There is an individual in Dan
bury, Connecticut, who thought yo would play
dead and fled out for certain exactly how much
his wife thonght of him. Accordingly' he lay
down upon his bed, placed an empty laudanum
phial by his side, and, holding his breath,await
ed events. They came with the lady. She
looked upon-the - apparent corpse, and'wonder
ed what in tho world could have induced John
to put an end to himself after this fashion.
The more she icnsidered the more she marvel
led, and at last thought she, too, would try an
experiment. Perhaps John was not dead, alto •
gather ; the laudanum might not, have taken
fall effect. She had heard thatal needle intro
duced into the human flesh would indicate by
the changing of the brightness of its polished
surface whether that flesh was defunct. John,
all' unconscious of the treat in store for him, re
mained riteut, enjoying, hol,wevzr, the opinion
that, from liar manner, Miss. John would not
fade away on account of his' iassing away. The
lady had no.idaa of going to • the expense of
burying a man who was not dead, and ap
prov_iiing the bedside - with throbbing heart
and bated brcatb,sho thrust the needle bravely
and deeply into John's leg. John watastonish
ed, and so was Km John,as he jumped up and
declared that the whole thing was a joke. He
I was not much pleased-because his wife said she
thought it the best Joke; she ever known of.
John has come to the-:ariie determination that
playing dead with that woman is a game Nitich
has its disadvantages. We neglected - 10 state
that the needle was extracted.

MARC.I .13,1571
Mn. Anvoue--Dear Sir: 'I see in
the last REMITER a notice of. a bill
introduced in our Legislature to au
thorize the abandonment of the North
Branch Canal. You say if not kept
in repair, it .'might as well be aban
doned and a double track made.
do not see how the State Of Pennsyl
vania can justly consent tOa-measure
that virtually destroys all value in the
connecting canals north and south.
But if these interested iu such canals
can lie satisfied, bow are the people
along the line to be secured' against
exorbitant freight charges on -the
rail road; already coal costs more, on
account of high local freight charges,
at different points in this county, than
at Elmira. In regard td this matter,
the rail read companies seem to re
gard a part as , greater than th , v•iorote,
and charge more for half a day's work,
than a full . day.
On long lines,and in the presence
of competition, ! freight:. charges are
very low; on short lin'p, free from
competition, outrageously high.—
When the last boatman shall be driv
en from the North Branch, by the
canal,being kept in the worst possible
condition, or filled up, we may expect
the local freights to be at the highest
revenue_poiht, unless prevented by
some act of the law-making power,
or a constitutional provision. •
There are certain indications that
.the legislation called for by the cor
poration interested in this matter;
-will be given out by the job and pass
ed with about as much reference to
the will, or interests of the people, as
is common under despotic govern
ments. I think the people alonn• ` the
line should insist upOn a tariff of lo
cal freights,jnst and reasonable, to be
made a part of the act, and, to - be
bindin.• e
upon the railroad company
for all time, if they accept of the
benefits of the release from keeping
up the. canal. The state has parted
with her public works for a nominal
sum, and given up their control to
private corporations, it is only rea
sonable that the people should be se
cured against extortion on' the part
of those who are now 'reaping the
benefits of the great expenditures
made by the commonwealth in cut
ting out the path along the Susque
hanna, which will ever be the best
and easiest route froth, the great an
thracite coal fields to northern mark
ets: I have no doubt but that our
immediate representatives will be gov
erned by the interests of their con
stituents, but I' very much, fed; that
sooner or later the great taoney
poWer that is • preparing to puah this
measure, will overpawer all ojDposi
tion 'and accpmplish its object.
It cost twenty.five thousand dol
lars last yeS• to pretend to keep open
the canal; and any ono can judge
from that how much the company
can afford to pay to get rid of that
task in the future and for.all time.
It is a burden upon the owners, as
managed blast year, , equal to a debt of
half's =Dion, ot. dollars at 5, per
cent. interest. I' do not • find fault
with their anxiety to get rid of it,
but I protest a,gainst their system of
unreasonable local freights, and in
sist upon some sort of s ecur i tyfor
the future. -
The company can well afford to
kiTe that - -security, to the people
dwelling along the line, and also
inakel.aome equitable arrangement
with ithe owners of the junction
Canal (who will otherwise be robbed)
then the legislation they want might
be accorded to them • the money
necessary to buy a legi slature saved
to help double .track the line, and the
reputation of its estimable : President
and Board of Directors preserved
from that stain which. will follow the
wie.sting .of this privilege from the
state, through' the 'venality said nn - -
faithfulness of our public men.
