"The nominee for Congm , s, M. IL C. Vail,
Esq, of this borough, as a, gentleman and
scholar is well fitted to occupy the office for
which he is put in nomination. That .he will
meet 'with a hearty support from Many warm
friends in this locality•is not to be doniated.
Mr: V. is a young man of energy-rand takes
the pains to perfectly familiarize himself With
his subject before attempting to speak upon
it. This is A good quality tor. a-legislator.
Many of them are too lazy tci post themselves
up ctn the questions of legislation' presented
for their action, and consequently follow the
lead of some-partizan friend, not fully Com

about.'
- For_ Representative, no better man 'Could
have been selected - than CHARLES S. Git.upyr.
We.for many years enjoyed his acquaintance
and society as a neighbor, while a resident of
the southern part of the county, and in all
the relations of life we have found him to be
one of OUT BEST citizens. who know - him
heartily unite in expressinetheir highest, con- -
&Jen s en in Lim. - His political opponnts can
not but admit that he is an excellent Bran in
all 'respects, and %vejl qualified for the - office..
Hundred; of thetn will doubtless takpleasure
in giving Lim their -votes this fall, in prefer
ence to the nominee of their own , party. In:
deed,there is a general belief that his election
isllighly probable, even in the fate
I :ifsta op

ocracy, we need not speak. lie is in this re
spect, what hail in all others—a ; staunch,
unwavering
unwavering man. If elected, his vote will
always be recorded alit has-been and will
continue to be as a private citizen, for the
men and measures best calculated to;lwornote
the interests of the country.
tEANDER Germs is a populaV man, a
.staunch Democrat, and will make a: fine run
Tor Commissioner. -His nomination - is an ex
cellent one, in itself alone, but when taken in
connection with the opposition candidate, is
peculiarly, fdrtunate. We understand that
there is a great deal dissatisfactiou among
the !‘Ropublicans"in the northern and eastern
part of the comity, in relation to the nomina
tion of Mr. Page—and more in his own ,town
ship than elsewhere, so much so, that many
of them will voluntarily support Mr.' Griffis.
Read what the "Northern PennsYlvanlan"
says of him :
"L. S. Prige,the nominee I'm' Commissioner,
is a citizen of this borough—a fellow towns
man —as such,we modestly beg to be excused
from saying anything more."
There iA but one construction, which can
put upon the abore,and that is- ! —"wr can
not say a favorable word of him, and we do
not wish - to speak - , nnfavorably of him." It
cannot be said that the,editor declines speak
ing well of him becaUse be is a fellow towns,
man, for such construetion,would - be contra
dicted by, the 'remarks about Dr.tail..-(In
•this - nonnection- it may be well for as to state
that the paper quoted from is independent .of

has-been understood to be ..of tendencies to-
Wards Republicanism.) From all appear
ances it -will Le well fer the oPpiSisition, to

as to What has, caused the terrible " pressure"

found him banging tot the tail of his party,
especially about he

known. In fact manyf his friends had found
1.
that he was a small tatoe; a fit tool to be
used by i small cliq e of men who cared
nothing for the interest. of the masses of 4be
people. Again this fall he has secured a re
nomination from his party. That begot it fair
ly,-no one can - pretertd. Publicly, he was
scarcely beard of- in connection with the of
fice. His nomination was brought about by
secret influence and plotting, aided by chi
canery and mismanagement at the conven
tion. Great dissatisfaction is expressed by
prominent Republicalis, - and there are ,hun
dreds of that party who will not give him
their votes at the coming election. Having
once reposed confidence in him, only to. be
betrayed, they will spurn him as he deserves.
His course in the-Legislature has been - far,
very far'lrom satisfaltory to the mass of his
constituents, and it is only-the corrupt in
fluence-of party orgaMzatioti that has placed
him on the ticket. So far as his course in

his utmost efforts for ihe furtherance of their
interests, even thougiiltbey are while men; but
if Learly one-half the number_of those who
give him his bread and butter, ask a favor of
him, be , treats theitl memorial as though it

Atiatirs at Quarantine.
t' The New , York - correspondent of . the
Annsyleanian, writing on 'the '7th, a week
after the riot and burning .of the Hospitals
on Staten Island, says ; •
"Governor King is out with a Ilroclatnation
this afternoon, declaring Staten Island under •
martial law. The Governor is a beatitiful
specimen of a 131ack Republican in office.
He was in this city on the evening when'the
Hospitals were fired, and might have read a
newspaper by the refleetion of the conflagra
tion, if he had chosen ; lie watt fully posted
up then with the state of affairs at Tompkins
ville,yet there'he sat,at the municipal banquet
board, like another, Belshazzar—haughtily
refusing to stir a finger to Inell the disturb
ance, or to do anything to bring the incendi
aries to account. And now, - when all the
mischief is done, we base a proclamation de.
elating martial aw !
Such disgraceful neglect of duty,and such
'glaring incompetency for his office, ate too
much even for the Black Republican editors
here, all of whom are after his majesty to•
day with a sharp stick. Bqually incompetent
appear to be the Albany Police Commission
ers. They have suspended the General Sure;
inteadent ; Mr. Talmadge, for not obeying the
Orders of Nye, to send down a police force on
Thursday night ; but Talmadge excuses him
self, by saying that be was overruled by the
Mayor, who did not-think the exigencies of
the ease were such as to call for any extra
demonstrations of force. •
The truth is, Black Republicanism is utter
ly incapable of administering either city or
State government, and the aconer it gives up.
the experiment the better. It can plunder
the treasury and fold its arms while ruffians
and rowdies are setting the government pro
perty in a blaze, but it can 'do nothing else.
It has been weighed in the balance and from
beginning to end found wanting. The people
are sick of it.
Thlf:Ploalatnation has created the utmost
excitement on.the Island,knd the probability,
at this writing, of a collision between the
military and the people,is . hourly increasing.
The insurgents, however,are no match for the
guns of the sloop-of-war Sabine and the State
militia, several companies of which are to be
sent down from the city to night."

stated.
Drs. Tobias and Welch examined Canny's
wounds and by probing soon extracted one
of the halls. The other they were unable to
dislodge. By their advice be was sent to
the Jefferson Flouge. -Soon after arri‘ing he
was very faint, but exhibited pluck. The
landlord, Mr. M. J. Fistly, ordered a carriage
and conveyed him to the Hospital, Where he
was put under treatment. The physiciani
think they will be able to extract the ball,:
and their opinion is that he will recover.
It appears that Canny has been paying his
addresses to. this •young woman for the five
years past,-and that during this protracted
period the attentions were of a nature that
generally leads to marriage. He was con
stant in his visits and profuse in his promises
of affection. Three weeks ago last Saturday
evening, he announced to her thit it would
be impossible for them to be married; giving.,
as a reason that , he was already a husband,
and that he had been inatied by compulsion
to a woman in the State of Maine. Be as
sured her in all seriousness that such was the
.case, and that their union was impossible.

already instituted civil proceedings against
Canny, who is under $4OO bail, to appear for'
'trial. It is his intention to procure whatever
redass the law will allow. Last evening she
left the house—so she told Fier mother—to
get some thread at a store near by. Instead
of this she went to North street, and there de

Fearful Death of an Inane Matt
On the passage up the river on -the steam
boat Hero, Tuesday night, a most fearful tra:
gedy was enacted. Soon after the boat had
left her dock, it was discovered that a Ger
man, among the passengers, was insane. His
conduct became so wild that it was found
necessary to restrain him, and he was tied
down to some balls on which' to sleep.
About one o'clock in the morning, when`
all but the watch had retired, he managed to
disengage himself, and commenced prowling
about the boat. The gangway doors - being
lucked, 6e was prevented from getting out
side, or even up stairs. Becoming enraged
in consequence:he commenced smashing the
glass in the windows of the ladies cabin and
the captain's office with his hands. In so do
ing thevwere most severely facerated,he thrust
his hands through the thick glass.
As he continued his work of deitruction,the
frenzy seemed to grow upon him, and finding
himielf baffled, be made a spring and plunged
-head first through one of the windows on the
side of the main cabin, taking sash and all
with him. With such force did be go, that
he came in collision with the upper guard
works the boat. A watchman being at- ,
tracted by the noise, opened the gangway
door, but not in time to save the man's life,
for picking himself up, after striking his head
against the guardi'i, he sprang overboard with
,a wild and terrific scream. Tile boat was
under great headway at the ti e, and it was
deemed unnecessary 'to attempt to Save the
man% life, as he must have inevitably drown
ed before a small boat could tiny* got rn his
assistance; and, indeed, he bad cut himself so
repeatedly that, judging from die amount of
blood on the deck, he must have bled very
profusely.—Albany Statesman.

gives the following information concerning
the progress of the - railroad survey from that
city to Mexico:
"In Mexico I met: with Col. Tolcott, steam
engineer-in..chief.bf the surrey ,being effected.
between this city and the capital for the .tir
pot,ii of balin g a line of railroad for account
of Manuel Escandon. I learned from his son
that the line bad been )(vatted as far as Oii
.zaba, and that they found that they could
ascend the embus between that city and
Bleb's, with not more than twenty miles of
heavy grading, and with no grades over 200
feet to the mile.. The big barranco between.
Cordova and Orizaba, will require bridge
of 1080 feet in length, and will be about 350
feet above the running water beneath. This
road is a work of great magnitude, but is the
only thing lhist can save the nation. ' Manuel
Escandon has undertaken it, and he has the
energy to carry it through,' provided , his
countrymen will give hint a chance. I was
told in Mexico, that .t%L TolcOtt's report
-would be made in September, and,that then-
Escandon would-proteed to Europe : via the
'nited, States, in order to lay his plan before
the capitalists if the world. If success at•
tend him, I hope to see the work under way
within the coming year. In 18 months it
could be finished as-far as Orizaba,. lad, in
four years it could be carried to Mexico. "

.he was a fugitive from justice, having com

only '.four years old, He was - arrested and
w)l3 about being brought Over. when the au•

and it was found that the criminal - must be
released, the Ashburton treaty containing no
authority by which he could :he detained.
This lAN wretch, g s uilty of the most abhorrent
of crimes, was consequently set at liberty.
The way the matter stands, it seems:[
that "
there' is no wails of obtaining possession of a
criminal 'of this stamp who chooses to take
refuge its Canada. _To the, unjust restrictions
of the treaty is added the officiousness of. of

ends of justice by stickling for technicalities:
We have never known an instance where the

carrying a criminal to Canada. They have
too much respect for justice to insist upon
national' privileges which result
_in no possible
