Sale and Re-Sale of the State

sale and re-sale of the State Canals, and in

, •
to elicit notices that will reflect anything but
advantageously to :the character of the
Governor's official integrity, The Easton
Argus, whose editor Appears to be well
booked as to thefaits - cormected with-.tbe're
sale of the- Delaware Division, pronounces
Attorney-General Knox' version of that trans,
_ction "utterly devoid of truth," and proceeds
wits proof so, as follows,:
On the sth day of May, 1855, a committee
from the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com
pany made repot to theirßoa'd of Directors,
that in au interview with Mr. Moorehead,the
President of the Sunliury and Elie Railroad
Company, :that- gentleman' stated that the
lowest terms the Delaware Ditision could be
sold at, was t2.,00 - 0,000 cash,withicreighteen
months, as the Sunbury and Erie Company
had three offers at that price, equal to cash
in that time. To pay 62,000,000 for this
work within - two years, was so far - beyrind
their power-that the Lehigh Company felt
obliged to abandon the consideration of the
subject.
A month afterwards, in Jane, 1858, the
Sunbury and Erie Company, through this
same Mr. Moorehead, addressed a letter to
James Cox, President of the Lehigh- Com
pany,askinz them if they desired the purchase
the Delaware Divi,,ion, and if. so, to state the
highest price they were prepared to offer for
the same, payable, one-third in cash, the
balance within 24 or 3 - 0 Months,. in regular
monthly payments, and added, that they
"preferred selling it-to-the Lehigh - 'Company"
To this letter lie requested a'reply on the fol
lowing Tuesday—cwt five days—saying that
lie was "in treaty with ethers who desired to
close the purchase.' • •'
On the nth of Jane,Nr.• Cox replied to
this letter, saving that he bad -submitted it
to the Committee. appointed by the Board to
ascertain the hat terms on which the
purchase . of the Delaware Division 'could be
effected. They stated that they had some
time since renerted to the board, the terms
mentioned by him to Messrs. 'Hazzard rand
Cox,-in
_Philadelphia, (52,600,000 payable
months,) which the Board-deemed in
adtitissable. They were instructed to say
that • the company would be willing to
purcham the canal on fair terms, but that
they bad no authority to -Iszake a definite
offer—they, hoWevar, - considered their terms
of .
paymentm unreasonable and unacceptable.
That if they would make the time or terms
of payment more sari-factory, they were
prepared to recommend the purchae.
Now, Mr. Moorehead, who said in his let
ter he wanted the cash in 30 months, never
answered the letter of the Lehigh, Company
ot t jectingto these . twins, but proceeded to
negotiate privately with other parties, for the
sale of the canal for $250,000 lesi, and eigh
teen years longer credit than he offered to the
Lehigh Company: - The • Lehigh Company
heard of a hat was going on and notified him
three days before the sale Mar completed, that
they were ready to offer t 2,000,000, if their
bid would be acted upon. They' were cooly
pushed aside with the reply that they were
-too late," and the work went on ; notwith
standing the Lehigh Company wrote out their
_bid and presented it to the Sunbury and Erie
Company, and a committee on their behalf
Presented a copy of their bid to Governor
Packer, who raid be had given his "verbal
assent" to sell it toanother party. Was his
"verbal assent" such an "assent" as the law
required I lie was required to file his
written assent in the State Department; as
long. as he had - not dope that there was no
contract, such is the law required. We ask,
why ivas not a publio advertisement made
for bide. and the canals thriwo open 'to fair
competition l The people l - have a right to
suspect corruption and rascality, when they
, find nego?tiations covering millions of dollars
carried on in a secret, under-htmded, back '
stair fashion. So far from "preferring" to
sell the Canals to the Lehigh Company, they
never_ wanted that Company to have it: The
pretence that theyldid was all bosh and horn
hug. Other private arrangements had been
made by which the State - was to be cheated
out of $186,000. If an Administration that
helps 'o consummate Such an outtne,don't go
down to posterity covered with curses, then
there is no such thing as public -virtue or,
tore of integrity in the breasts of the people.

Close of the Normal School.
MR. EDITOR: For the benefit of your mu;
meroys readers throughout the_ county, I
would ask to report the Closing exercises of
the Normal School which has been in such
successful operation in this borough for the
past year and half, which took place on Fri
day evexing last. I, am aware that the re
ports of school proceedings is becoming con
siderable of a bore, and for the simple reason,
that the reports are too minute; and conre
quenily Jose interest for the public. But the
Normal Schoolie a public institution, and, as
I suppose, the public feel an interest in all
matters connected with it.
The \seliool has been from its_commence
ment unexpectedly well sustained ; by the
public in the bestowment of a large share of
patronage, which the school deserved ; and
by the young men and ladies of Susquehanna
and adjoinining counties, by the spirit with
which they have taken bold of the matter,
and aided the teachers in pushing forward
the enterprise.
The school the pest' term has numbered
150 students, and during this year. over 250
beim been in attendance. Ldo not suppose
that - all of them wen - fitting themselves for
teachers; but the greater portion of them, a
number sufficiently ; large to change the
whole character of the profession in the coun
ty, if it was as in years past.•

The Itevengeittl Faction.
In 1828, a powerful political writer, at the
head of a leading and influential newspaper r
of this City threw ail the weight of his pen
and his jmrnal in behalf of the election of
General Jackson, as President. After the
election, and after the old hero was inducted
into ofllue, this man was an applicant for an
important post within the gift of the Admini
stration, and . was disappointed: Ile did not
attempt to build up a faction to oppOse the
President and the party which elected him ,
but he changed the. whole course of hie
paper; .and his pen, which, before the iron
entered hie soul, could scarcely find words
fulsome enough to bedaub the incumbent of
the White Muse Witbirdulation and flattery,
'was turned, to gall, aid . the whole- cliceco
dictionary of Billingsgate was rinsacked for
epithetsio burl at the object of his hatred
L and malevolence. Dot able and talented as
he vra., the people did not sympathize with
him. Even those of the Federal party who
delighted in abusing the patriot President,
and opposing his policy, gave hire no Credit
for his re:ilings, because they knew the base
and truculent Motites that actuated the
man ; and they knew, too, that had he been
the recipient ofExecutivepowsr,lre would have
remained the same obsequims and cringing
toady as before. The consequence was ;hat
be soon lapsed into obscurity,- and "fell, Like
Lucifer, newer to hope again." • •
We have oftenbeen reminded of this inci
dent when contemplating the course of Col.
[Forney towarde his old patron,litle. Buchanan.
It is afmost a patalleled_case, except that
Forney has succeeded in beguiling a few
Democrats into Lis toils, and cold them to
the enemy for a consideration.- We do not I
hesitate to say, however, that all the leaders
of this Bogus mover-Pent against the Presi
dent rind the Democracy, are actuated solely
by revenge, either from disappointment in
not gettin g office under the Federal Govern
ment, dt from not getting their arms elbow
deep into the National treasury. Their ante
cetientsgive evidence that this is theirreason,
and their sole reason fur antagonizing the
President, deserting the party, and playting
into the hands of the common enemy. Their
extraordinary devotion to . "the doctrine of
popular !sovereignty," tilaidea of which,
Judging from their vapid .resolutions, is about
mere as "clear as mud," is all a sham, rant
and fustion, a miserable subterfuge to throw
dust in the eves of the people, and to shield
themselves from that popular odium, which
they feel must sooner or later fall 'with crush
ing weight "upon their bead.
Bow any man—any Democrat—who
respects, h6nor, good faith, high-souled in
legrity„ and-all thuse.ennobling„ traits which
go to adorn and embellish human nature, cart
i follow the lead of characters thus actuated
by revenge alone, and stained and blackened
by infidelity and, untruth, is astnystery to us.
And we trust, for .the sake of our common
humanity, - tha:t - the few honest men who, in
k thoughtless moment, have listened .to the
wiles of the serpent, and strayed into forbid
den paths, will retrace their steps-,- and wash

hotel in that city a few days since, was found
to be a girl of eighteen or nineteen, who had
run away from her home in Canada. She
had procured money enough to pay her fare
to the rnines,and taten a suit of her brother's
clothes, but she had no idea of the distance
nor of the dangers and hard,lripe'she yroutd
have to encounter. She consented to return
to her parents. The •story smacks of a long
bow, but it may he true.

ESIILINE, dinghtar of Obidah L and E. L
Carpenter, March 10th,1859, in Ararat, Sine's
Co., Pa., of disease of the hogs, in the 26th
Oar of her age.
Sister Carpenter !Savo many friends that
will cherish hur memois. She devoted her later
years to the instruction of youth, and many a
young heart will grow sad at the news that the
loved teacher is no more. Wherever she'went
_she made fist friends. Frank, earnest and
self.denying,always anxious to make others hap
py; to know, was tot love and esteem her. She
was converted while attending Wyoming Sem
inary. in 1853-4, and joined' the church there on'
probation, but neglected to bring a letter when
she left; she united nowhere olso, and lost her
evidence of salvation. Early in the spring et
'5B she again found- Christ, while attending the
Sunday morning class at Henry.st., M. E. chutes,
Binghamton. When questioned by the leader
she said, with tears in her eyes, but a peaceful
and: happy' smile upon, her, countenance, L know
that Jesus saves me now. She sena nnited
with that . class, and has since lived an exem
plary chriatain life.- Though a Sufferer for
many molds Wore her ,deCease,• she never
murmured. She loved ,to sing "My rtsst,is in
heaven. my rest is not here," &c. A little while
before she died she remarked to 'her attendant,
"1 t is all right, and I am perfectly resigned."
Thus pass away those who trust in Jeans. '
.May
this bereavement be sanctified to the good of her
weeping friends, and may we all so live that
when death takes us away, we may meet Ent-
