adelphia, with rather a limited opinion of the
profession in Bucks county, he asked the ad
vice of Charles Chauncey, Horace Binney
- and John Sergeant, all 4 whom took great
interest in his success.
Acting upon the advice‘ , ese distinguish
el geneernen gave him, Mr. . :e ng directed
his steps to Reading, reaching at place in
November,- 1832, with less t n. $lO in
sits peekat, owing t4OO unacquat ed with a
single individual in the county, knowing
nothing ofthe pinctice of Pennsylvania courts,
and being unable to speak or understand a
word .of the language spoken generally by
nearly every one about him. These were
ratbee digcouraging circumstances, but Mr.
Strong was bound to succeed, and be did, as
every one else who has the gift of continuance.
At the end of the year he found himself mas

thorough legal education giving him an ad
vantage over most young lawyers of that day.
tie thus realized the benefits of the many
hours he had spent in hard study ,while his
companions were sleeping.
We have thus followed the subject of our
sketch, until we find him firmly established
in that Gibralter of Democrecv, old Berk.
Although a Democrat, firm and unwavering,
be always declined being a candidate for the
Legislature and other positions which his
friends were anxious for him to accept, pre
ferring the'walks of private life, until 1846,
when, owing to his health failing, on account
of severe application to his profession, be
was induced to accept a nomination for Con
gress, which resulted in his triumphant elec
tion,—and although comparatively a stran
ger, be ran nearly eight hundred votes ahead
of the Democratic State ticket. Mr. S. com
menced. his Congressional career in the
XXXth Congress, with a Whig Speaker,
and being a new born member, was not as
. signed a very prominent* place on Committees.
being placed on the Committee on Revoln
tionary Pensions. In this, as in all things
else with which he was entrusted he discharg
ed his duty faithfully. Among the speeches -
made by him during this, Congress, was one
in defenceof the Mexican War, and sustaining
the position of President Polk., The speech
was highly eulogized and widelY circulated
at the tiine of its delivery. He also delivered
a very able speech against the,system of con
tracts for Ocean Mail Steamer service, which
was the first important speecVmade iu either
House against this system of plunder.
In the fall of 1848 be was re-nominated
unanimously, an event tinnsual inThis district,
and re-elected by a majority five hundred
greater than that given. the Democratic ean
didate for Governor. Oa the appointment of
• the Committees for the XXXIst Congress,
Mr. Strong was placed at the head of the
Committee on Elections, and appointed a
member of the Committee on Rules. -At the
expiration of his second term, he declined a
re-election to Congress, and resumed the prac
Lice of his profession.
-He has always been a sound, national
Democrat, but tnore of a student and a law
cer than a politician. The is a fine, noble
looking man, about six feet high, of pleasant
and agreeable Te.anners, with. a gentlemanly
and dignified hearing. _

Why it should do so we are at a loss to isay.
People of all shades of polities, - here in Kan

the most dubious have not their doubts dis

" Axes to Grind*"
The Kansas Leader, a free state paper de:
flounces the polici . of the N. Y. Tribune as
developed by their " special correspondents,"
very properly designating them as " shriek
erg," and charges them with desiring to keep
Kansas in the . field until certain ends have
been accomplished. The Leader- advises a
participation in future elections, instead of
standing back and "shrieking fraud ! fraid
as heretofore," but says it expects to ho
posed in this by the Tribune, and gives its
.plain outspoken opinioti of that monster o$
fanaticism in the following pointed express
ions; " They (the Tribune and its co-work
ers) hare " axes to (mind," we have none.-:--
They hare a President to Wed in 186.0, awl
grant to we Kons.as to do it, and after that
they will admit it into the Union as. a free
State."
Here welave, from a free State paper in
Kansas, a . full vindication of the truth of our
assertion that the party claiming to be the
e=pecial advocate of" freedom," was a base
imposition upon comnianity ; that instead of
really desirirg the freedom of Kansas, it
wanted to keep up anarchy and misrule in
that unhappy territory, and then by charging
it upon the Democratic party, to deceive the
public into the very foolish act of placing the
fe-deral government under the control of its
reckless, and unprincipled leaders. Greeley
d Co., had." axes to grind," in the last cam
paign but conunenc.elgrinding so early, and
ground so furiously that long_ere the fourth
of November had arrived, their axe was
ground to the poll and.availed them teething:
1.11:0111AN:A\N'O tunjority wag Aver half a milli
on, and even the .Yorth, upon which they
lived their hopes, left the Rocky Mountain
Nag 300,000 in the rear ; while the whole
Union, over which it is supposed a President:
is elected to preside, kindly permitted him
whom the axe grinders delighted to call the
"Path Finder," to pursue his lonely way
along the fabled. path that leads to the head
waters of " Salt River," by a majority greater
than leis whole vote. •
Let Greeley,'Seward,Wilson,Witmot & Co.,
pursue this axe grinding policy in the future
if they choose, the r EOPLE wilt watch them
and be prepared to administer an appropriate
rebuke. Let. them attempt to play "bleed
ing Kansas"in the future if they. dare; it will
prove the certain and utter annihilation of
their party organization. They have played
upon the harp Of a single string until thous
ands of their former victims have bad their
eyes opened, and as a matter of course have
left them to pursue their own road to ruin.--
They have yelled "Kansas I Kansas I" and .
resolved and re-resolved that Topeka burn-.
bug was the only way of admission for that
territory, until so far as wican learn not a
single free State paper in Kansas is
. with
them.
44 IA Pnekof Hounds."
It will be remembered that we copied an
article a for weeks since from the Kansas
Herald of Freedom, charging the papers and
politicians of the East, who hare bas'd their
fortunes upon the success of the "Republi
can" party, with havini labored to make
Kansas a slave state, in order that their po
sition in the past might be maintained, and
their reckless - ambition, and thirst for office
be satiated. We invited the Editor of the
Republican to copy - the article, and he did so: ;
but that he might destroy the effect he feared
'it might hare upon his readcro, etated that
Brown, the editor of the Herald of Freedom,
was opposed to the policy of the free state
party, and desired to" sell out," the cause
of freedom. Brown brands this charge as
'vilely false, says he never opposed the free
sta.'s; policy, unless it be the policy of that
parts', " to keep vp anarchy and strife, and
prolong the era of bloodshed and violence.
Brown says the " letter-writers" and " cla
quere. of the leafing eastern papers have
made this charge, and a portion of the rank
and file,-(we quote his language,) " without 1
understanding the subject; but blindly fols
lowing the dictates of the leaders; echoed the
cry that the Herald of Freedom was unwor
thy to be longer supported by freemen, and
was recreant to the cause. Like a pack of
HOUNDS unloosed from their kennels, they
(deadly echoed the bay of the master-spirit,
and Tray, Blanch. and Sweetheart, rushed
madly 'after the offender."
' As the editor of the Ikrublicas is fond of
referring to us as "dogs,".ie must not complain
if we remind him that the extract above in
elndei him among the "hounds," (meaning a
species of " dogs" with long ears, which bark
a great deal, but seldom bile anything, ex
cept it be - in the provender line,) who, " with-
'out understanding the subjei,"blindly follow
the dictates of such fanatic id and reckless
I ji
falsifiers as Greeley, and is iiresponsible
" Kansas correspondents." I
iar The Daily Sun truly stye that " all
who are anxious to crush Americanism and
have it put out of the way," are the " enemies
of Judge Wilmot ;" and that those who op
pose the "Catholic Irish" are • his friends.—
He freely admits that the Democracy aro
avowedly and implacably hostile to that
AmericanisM recently represented at Wash
ington by the " Plug Uglies," and which but
a few years ago deluged the street of Louis
ville, Cincinnati, and St. Louis with the blood
of suffering citizens ; of that Americanism
Mr. Wilmot is now the sworn representative.
It remains to be seen whether the men resid•
ing in this locality, who have heretofore pre
fessed a willingness to maintain those provis
ions of the Constitution which guarantee to
every man the right to worship as his con
science dictate., will violate those profes.ions
by supporting David Wilmot—a member of
the odious Knoi-Nothing order—for the of
flee for which the Mongrels have designated
him.

A Carious Case of Matrimony.
The Paterson Guardian of July 24th, re-•
lates the following extraordinary story:
Not ten days have elapsed since we pub
lished a tnarriag! in our colomns, whilst with
the' peculiar circumstances of the strange
wedding we have until now been ignorant.
A young lady of this place went to New
York on a visit, and was introduced into
family residing in Fifth . avenue. By render
ing herself affable and endearing, she was in
vited to spend a few days with them as a
welcome guest. All went, smoothly, and act
ing. with- mach propriety and possessing such
apparent sweetness of character, -she gained
the respect and confidence of the whole fam
ily, and upon her departure invited them up
to see her at her residence in this place, rep
resenting her people as - living in .the first
14)10, with erlfiy luxury about them. She
then left for Paterson, after receiving a prom
ise from. them to return her visits in a very
shcirt time.
• A few weeks after, a son and daughter of
the family on the avenue, came up to Peter
son, and - fJund the young girl at home ; but
also found appearances very different from
what her.deseriptiou had led them to 'antici
pate: • •At night the young gentleman sug
gested to his sister that they should put up
at a hotel ; bst this the young lady strenu
ously opposed, and insisted vehemently Upon
their remaining nt the house, which they fi
nally consented to d'o.
B d time anived,.and both were shown 'o
their rooms. In a short time after the young
man hal retired, the young lady, who is the
heroine tf our story, introdtc4 herself into
his bed chamber, and passed the night there.
Extraordinary as-this conduct seems to have
been, it was not: such 'an nstnnisber as the
venlig gentleman received in the morning,
for he found himself entrapped. the minister_
present; and a fu's generally b. leg kicked up ,
by the girl's relatives. -The sister upon be
ing informed of the true state of the case was,.
highly indignant, and astounded even more
than the young man himself. Onlv one way
presented itself for the young gentleman to'
escape froin the wrath of the household and
the meshes of the Taw. A marriage was
quickly solemnizedot last expressing his wil
lingness to become a husband- sooner than
have!legal measures resorted to. llis sifter
returned to the city to acquaint the family
on the avenue with the scrape, and th. young
man, her brother, we believe slipped off in
the text train. -Nothing has been hearti of
the bridegroom from that time to this; but
his mother came up and visited his newly
made wife, and after reproaching all hrinds
for their hypocrisy. and deception, declared
her son should never Tire with the woman he
had been forced to marry—that sooner than
he should see her, they should send him as
far as water c•altd carry h m.. •

We w e re invited by an itinerant politician
who visited our ofilee during the present week
to sign a petition to Congreks to admit Kan
sas as a State under the Topeka ConstitUtion.
As a matter of course we declined lendin7
our name to the keeping. up of any such
humbug,..terr. We wish to see Kinsasa Free .
State, an ' d.will do all in our power to aid in
attaining that end, but we will.not join in .

Congress for admission under that Constitu
tion been tried once! and has it not prose('
a failure! And why try it again? has the
complexion of Corgre-s so changed that the
chances appear more favorable ? or is it mere
ly fur the purpose of keeping up agitation.
and olnkiug p l rty capital, to the detriment
of the best interests of the people of Kansas!
We had hoped that the day of agitation
was passed, and the class of men who danced
to the fiddling of political jugglers' in the
States, had disappared from the stale. But
alas, how rain are !Arian hopes. We We to

To the Farmer whose productions are the
greatest, (hay included) in proportion to the
number of acres under cultivation, taking into
account the stock . kept on his farm during the
season, $10: to the next, 5.
The Reports - on the greatest productions, tile.,
will be received, and the premiums awarded ai
the meeting of the Society in January.
Tue Executive Committee in presenting the
foregoing Premium List, would take occasion
to remark, that it has been thoroughly revised
and extended to the utmost limits of the Socie
ty's means, in order to give the greatest encour
agement to competition.
On a full consideration of the subject, it haw
appeared •to the . Commiltte, that it would be
more in accordance With the:olject for which the
Society was institiited, to omit all special pre
miutns for grain or root crops, as th ry have a
tendency- to encourage an undue share ol• atten-
tion to these p articular objects, to the neglect of
the general - interest of the farm. But in lieu
thereof, premiums are offered for the largest re
tnrns et the farmer's labor, which, after all, is
the-main object, as it is the best general 'manage
ment which deserves commendation, whether it
be on a large or small farm.
It is highly Creditable that the interest in the
Annnal Fair continues to 'increase, thereby show
ing that the public appreciates the usefulness of
the Society in promoting the prosperity of the
County.

Holloway': Ointment and Pills,—The
idea that cancer is incurable cannot be enter
tained by persons who have witnessed the ef
fect of these remedies on this terrible disease.
The ointment penetrates the substance of the
cancer,
and reaches its minutest ramifications
in tin flesh, checking its progress, and grad
ually restoring the parts affected to a sound
condition, while the pills, acting upon the
blood as a powerful detergent, destroy the
reeds of the malady in the circulation. The
testimony on this head is abundant and con
clusive.
Agreeable to a resolution 'of the &Tufa
County Agricultural Society,.the Executive
Committee propose to hold the Annual Plow.
log Match in some one of the townships
where sufficient encouragement may be given.
The Committee Would therefore invite pro
posals addressed to Alfred Baldwin, Montme.
