Harrisburg, - June 30, ls3B. '
Mr..Richiard Drinker, of Luzerne coun
ty., certifies liiat he was in the Governor's
room on the '29th ofJune, when -the sex.
ton presentcd the bill kir pew rent to the
Governor, and that -he paid it, and said
nuttiing aboin giving up his,pevv. The sea
ton also certifies to the same circumstance.
No one appears ever to have heard the
Governor say that he "would hold no pew,,
in a church the minister of which was. not'
an abolitionist;' and such an assertion
would be proved untrue by 'his holding as
he does, pews in the P,resbyteriaii church
of Mr. DeWitt, and Lutheran church of
Mr. Smeller, NEITHER of whom are
abolitionists.

TRUE LADIES.
“The true lady,” says Dr. Cotton Mather, in
hie Essays to do,Good, "is one yr holeeds the poor
and relieves their indigence; the original mean
ing of the term implies one Jobe distributes bread.
In the days of primitive Christianity, ladies of the
first quality would teak out the sick, visit bespi.
tale, see what aid they wanted, and assist them
with an admirable alacrity. What a 'good report'
!tare the mother and sister ofWastanxen obtained
from hie pen, for their unwearied bounty to the
poor ! Empresses themselves have stooped to re.
have the miserable, and never appeared so great
as when they thus stopped." Verily there are
prayers in alms; and, "is, not this the fast that I
have
. chnsen, saith the Lord." The expression
of thr beggar at-ong the Jews was, "deserve
something by me;" among us it might be, obtain

worthy Farmer Governor, "-Old Joe."—
Ritner has ale aNs been a- favorite with
the Farmers of Schuylkill County, and
nothing but party trammels prevents them
from supporting him in -a mass; Now is
the time, fellow citizens, to throw off these
party trammels, which have been riveted
on you by a ,few deeigning demagogues,
for the purpose of procuring office. The
cry of "turn coat" is now shorn of its ter
rors—thousands are bursting their fetters,
and comity , out manfully in favor of Joseph
Ritner and the prosperity of the Country,
all over the State. It is more honorable
to be a "turn-coat" now, than to be linked
to a party, whose measures are now con
demned and 'rejected by the people through
out the whole country.

$2 and the other $3. The difference in
appearance between the cars is blight-, and
there is no difference in accommodations.
This is the ground of dissatisfaction. It
is thought that s2too,is high enough fur
either, and if the Company are disposed
to make distinctions, it would be better to
provide lirditiaiy covered cars, and reduce
the fate in such to $l. By the : present
-arrangement,. the fare through isjust the
same as it was before the_ completion of
the rail road. •The advantage :justly ex
pected from rail road• travelling, is not
merely. an "increase . of speed, but a reduc•
tion'of price. Weintilte these-remarks in
a spirit of perfect good feeling to all inter.
ested.
The Louisiana Election has terminated
in the most gratifying and triumphant
manner to the Whigs. Our readers will
find the returns in another column.. It
will be seen that the Whigs have elected
their Governor, all the members of Con
gress, together with a large majority of
the Legislature. , National Bank and
a Sound Currency" was the rallying, cry.
The Van Burenites are aghast!--their '
cause is now absolutely desperate! Lou
isiana has taken the lead—she will scion be
followed by Missouri. The
ciample she has set will be imitated by a
large majority of her sister States. We
rejoice to bee at length the triumph of
sound principles, and evidences of the - sure
overthrow of corruption and ty,raony. The
country is now thoroughly. alive to the
importance of the issue between the "Gov
ernment and the People." That the peo
ple will no longer submit to a system of
corruption and , tyranny, is now manifest.
The acts of those who pretend to etercise
the powers of government, have signally
'failed in the Louisiana Election. We
shall now see a seriedinl- unparalleled tri
umphs and victorieirgorn one.end of the
