AN /WEAL FROM THE LADIES OF HARFORO.
.....ifripEditor.-1 Appeal to you in behalf of
a numerous tlltd very respectable class of
citizens—the larliei of Hanford . 'lmagine
them Wore you in the attitude of suppli
cants. 'Does it not move your Manly hesit
to pity I Then listen to their complaint.
But rfirst s let tee premise that you have not
lived to become a man, an Editor, and a 1
husband, without learning the, painful truth 1
(painful to us,) that nine-tenths of the an
noyances we suffer may be traced directly
to the passireni,,prejudicer, and fcllies of men. I
In a thousand different ways are we the
recipients of the evil,' resulting 'from their
tnisguitit&zeal, their misconceived notions
of duty, their mistrelmn views of life, and
misconduct generally. I lay, this down as a
general principle, and if you adtsit its cor
-mattress, you cannot turn a deaf "ear to an
appeal based upon it, though it may be made
to apply to a particular case. sAssuming
that-you turn a "willing ear," I proceed with
the complaint. -
Now, Mr,- Editor, you knOriv AN about the
"ansargamation" excitement in die town, so
far as the leading facts are concerned. That
"John," after iundry attempts, succeeded in
merryitrg "Milly;" that Le was halforquarier
black, and that she—wasn't ; thit a few of
our citizens thought "John" had as' gold a
tight to trierrya white girl as any one else,
and that others disputed it ; that this latter
class,. the 'chivalrous and large-hearted"
majority held - 'an indignation meeting, and
that subsequently statements an I counter
statements have appeared in the Montrose
papers; that Democrats - and Republicans,
saints and sinners, and "the rest of the"
people; are wonderfully exercised beciuse
"John" and "Milly" are enjoying (poor eri
joyment),the sweets of married life; ail this
you knesek already; but you don't know-what
I, and almost every 'woman in this cow
inanity feel keenly, that , our neighborhood
pease is destroyed, that our husbands bare
1 each other by the ears,and after pulling them
1 all day,- come home 4 night to talk, of
`"John Gnsta," "Jobe Ginter until they fall
asleep.. No, Mr. Editor, you don't- know
1 this, but we do. TUexplain, let me tell you
that between Ilerford village and
_where I
live—a distance of three entree, the road pas
issing through the neighborhood of the Sophia
I
i family s and by the school house in which
i "Ellen" did not teach—tbein are from' fteen
i to twenty families, and fur years preceding
lJohn's "strange and unnatural marriage,"
their social relations bad been uninterrupted.
1 rte neighbors, they-bad been uniformly Intl,
obliging, and peaceable. Alas, how changed:
The community is now divided, and all be-
cause , "John" married "Milly l" One portion
defend "John" and justify his surreptitious
marriage, and the other denounce the whole
transaction. The first, to save- their pet from
i censure, seize upon the weak points' is the.
I characters of those who differ with
(them, willing to blast - the reputation
of white men, and destroy the peace of i
as entire community, rather than have the I
"darkey" stand in his true "color ;" while
the latter class, in expressing their. disappro
bation of the marriage and their detestation
of "Jan" and his abettors
_are equally un
reasonable, and seem determined to give the
affaira a darker shade than it is entitled to.
Members of the same church are arrayed
against each other, and refuse to unite in
common fellowship; members of the same
school district, heretofore' friends, aril's
each °thee with dishonesty and falsehood ;
and 'even members of the same family are up
on opposite sides; and all because "John"
married "Milly," and "John" was black and -
"Milly" wasn't. Tell d es, Mr. Editor, where
1 all this will end. It would take, columns to
give the details of oar neighborhood brawl,
but I imagine you see in the foregoing suf- 1
ficient ground for complaint, and I tbe:efore
proceed with the appeal.
Now, Mr. Editor, my appeal is to-ron, In
behalf -of the ladies of this neighborhood I
I pray you to suppress all future statements
1 caleulated to arouse , the "angry passions" oft
r our huabauda, sons and brothers. The 'papers
are anxiously looked for each week, and if
they contain anything relating to this affair, ,
a general excilement follows ' Business is I
neglected, and the uteri meet each other and 1
I talk for hoursslevising plins,uttering denuncis
I ationesand correcting slanders, If they will
I keep up the fight, don't add fuel to the
dame, I pray you.. We women are heartily I
tired otthe whole matter. We are no friends
of amalgamation; neither hare we- a single
'apology to offer for "John," or one word' to
utterio palliation of his disgraceful conduct.

The Crihnubia Democrat publishes the fol
lowing portion of a letter from Citamns R.
13:1,...:exatzi-, giving an account of the earth
quake at Quito:
Qum), 22nd March,lBs9
DEAR. Ste We bad this morning, at 8i o'
dock, the most severe earthquake which brut
visited Quito during the present century. Its
ddvatiun was shoat one minute. Ti e spires
of many churches are thrown down, roofs of
houses fallen in, and the streets in many pla
ces lined with broken tiles precipitated_ from
above. I have just returned from visiting the
Flores House, from which wo removed oti the
17th instant. It is in ruins--a great part of
the roof is down, also a part of the second
story; the chimney top, thrown with violence,
carried away the stable roof, some of the fur
niture is crushed, and the brick and ties are
plied four or five feet.deep over the lied places
where we slept. We escaped the catastr3phe
by just five days.
'My present house is 'militated, is reasona
bly secure against future Shocks, and there is'
plenty_ of open ground adjoining for refuge.
Mrs. 13uckalew and +passed into the patio,
and the children and servaots.!oto the garden
during the shock—from our position, I savi
the- motion of the house, and the movement of
the earth to advantage.
A bricklayer, on the roof working at a chim
ney top, found it throivn in confusion around
him, and took a firm grip to hold himself from
following the fisgments: There is. more or
fess of injury all over the city, but details are
yet unknown. Ido not think the number
killstl is very large. I have bad time to make'
only a slight personal examination, tbe-hons
es are very much shattered, and another se
vere shock would produce immense destruc
tion.
- Reports front neighboring villages -repre
sent them as having.adffera severely, and we
await news from the south, where, previous
earthquakes have' been most seiete. I might
fill my sheet with r3poiti, but have confined
myself io this letter to wrist r know.

A,Distracted Administration.
Forney has been so sedulously engaged in
search of the mote in the National Admini 2
stratioa's eye, that he has failed to perceive
the beam in his own. So eager hubs been
to discover the slightest point Of divergence,
io opinion between the President and differ
ent members of his Cabinet, that be has en
tirely overlooked the antagonism which
exists among the different members of Gov.
Packer's Cabinet—a Cabinet which be has
taken under his immediate fostering care,end
for whose good behavior , be is responsible.
Knox - pulls ,strongly one. way, Dieffenbaoh
pulls heavilyancither,bleister keeps quiet, and
Packer stands aghast. The "State Sentinel,',
edited by a special friend of Judge Knox'
who has been brought to the State Capital,
for the especial object of editing the organ,
and placed in office by Governor Packer,
meekly follows the lead of The Press; but the
_Clinton Democrat, of which Mr. Dieffenbacb,
is proprietor and editor,"putslhe ticket to its
masthead, and 'asserts its bodying adhesion
to the Democratic organization. The Lyc
otning Gazette pursues the - course of the
Sentinel, but the Perks countypaper seems to
he in as witch doubt risible Sobretary of the
Commonwealth, the lion. Wm. M: fleister.
Packer and his friends, therefore, are with
out consistency and cohesion; they are with
out compass or rudder; they are ignorant of
their, latitude and longitude, and inow - not
whittler to steer their sinking ship. Forney's
Committee at Altoona, day before yesterday,
did not assist them in devising some mode to
escape'from this most eusbarrastdcg conepli
cation. Unmeaning resolutions were passed,
a ticket was not nominated, and everything
was left very much in the same situation as
before.
Dieffeubach may continue to straddle his
Cw•o paits-colored horses at the si+k of being
split through the middle; Knox may continue
his efforte•to lead Packer Ind his followers
into the Republican ranks, with every ph)b
ability of success; ileister may cotritue to
hold his prudent tongue, and Packer may
continue to be the same—Which ho has
ever been. Did eier is Democratic Admini
stration in Pennsylvania appear in such con
temptible plight t The Lycoming, Gazette
and the State Sentinel may now determine
upon placing the ticket at the head of their
columns, but this tardy recognition of their
error, must still place in ludicrous attitude,
the leaders Who imagined that they were
inaugurating a formidablererrolution. Packer
finds himself somewhat in_ the position of
Murat, King of Naples, who placed every
confidence iu his imposing statue, so that at
an important crisis he attempted a diversion
in favor of Napoleon. Douglas, by courtesy,
-may stand for Napoleon, and Packer for
Murat, and be may by courtesy,meet Murat's
fate—annihilation.
There is but one real solution for the enL
berrassment in. which-Knox, Ileister, Packer
and Dieffeubsch - find themselses—a general
resignation.
There would be a public rejoicing, should
they all resign in a bo"y,since they are with
out constituencies; but somerof them are im
bued with a self-sacrificing pal - dodos'', which
is proof to any popular diseomfiture. Fail
ing.in this general andication in office, for
,their country's good, we respectfully suggest
to Got. Packer that he should resign, lest
worse betide him; we request Mr: Dieffen
bach once more to leave, position, wbieb he
is constantly attemptinglo proie distasteful
to him, if he continues in office, we must
doubt his sincerity; to Mr, Ilitster *a appeal,
by his honorable name, to bo longer let a
scion of Governor Meister endanger u the
credit of a most respected family. Judge Knox
we hand titer to *'orney and the Republicans.

The Scrauta■ Tragedy.
- One of those unfortunate eirchnistances re
sulting front the use of rot-gut whiskey, took
place on Sunday evening last, at about 10/
o'clock, in Providence Township, about half
a mile from this boro', by which one man wise
sent unprepared to his long account, and an
other having acvery narrow escape--recei
ving a scratch on the right side of the neck,
which, bad the cut been a little deeper, would
have severed the main artery.
The cirournstancea attending this almost
unparalleled _outrage, are substantially ai fol
lows:—Mr. William Bell, of Providence Bor
ougb, a quiet and orderly citizen, while return

A strante Aiti•ertisment.
The Zanesville Courier publishes an adver
tisement of Solomon Sturges, one of the
wealthy men of Ohio,in which he gets forth
bis reasons for °tiering for sale his vast land
ed, property. Ile advertises the subject
thus :
"I will therefore sell at low prices, and on
easy terms-of payment, any of my rear estate;
and I have a great deal more than I want,
ought to have or desire."
After enumering a number of tracts which
he wishes to sell, h‘goes on in this wise:
"I have also some eight or ten fine im
proved farms in Indiana, and one of 670
acres near Galena, in -Illinois, that I wish to
sell. I believe'no man has a right to own
more land than i. necessary for bra own use,
and that of his family. God ..has no doubt
wisely ordained that land slaarki should be
cursed ; and I can truly say that lam ex
ceedingly anxious so sell all my lands, and get
clear of the curse."
The Courier, in referring to the advertise
nrenr, remarks :
''Besides the property here offered for sale,
we happen to know that be has about ninety
thousand acres of land in the West, some of
it selected twenty or thirty years ago, in the
best pact of the Western States; and we are
glad to see that he is.rnaking an effort to re
hem himself of some of it and theieby re
move what be considefs a "curse," and that,
like Lis old namesake, he grows wiser as he
grows otter, and is
.beginning, like himi to
team that ie vanity." -
rir...When Mr. Bnchanati was elected
President, republican "old grannies" were
profuse in their prophecies of evil. That we
should have no more fiee States—tbat
slavery would "spread" all over thiTeouutry
—was a fact unalterably fixed according to
the professed Ifelief of these freedom shrieking
' worthies. Mr. Buchanan bat' now been in
office two years, and two free States have
been added to the Union during the time ;
and that too,against the vehenient opposition
of the
. 131alk Republican party. Ono free
State a year does • pretty well and the
probabilities now are that we shall average
that number during the. present Admini
stration.
Let the "darkies" continue to s cr eech for
freedom and vote - against the adthission of
free States; the Democracy will take care
that their insane ravings shall be as harmleek
in their effects in the future as they have
been in the past.

who was discovered a short time since scour
ing an old gdn barrel. s On being asked
what be intended to do with it, he replied,
that he was "fixing up l " to go luto the liquor
huskies., and to avoid the law was going to
use this iron
,tube instead of glass tumn!er,,
thereby making it appeartlat he was selling
liquor by the barrel. He could swear to
that, and none of hil accusers would be per
mitted to go behind the letter of his alit taxa

barrel be used, or what quantity it held.
