THE ATEXICAN - WATIL—DEFENCE 016' THE

union, and other Locofoco papers, have beep
taunting the Whig party v;ith being hostileto the,
war; and friendly to Mexico-.—in cotne instances
they have been called "Mexican Whigs".and oth
er epithets alike ;mime. Elven in our own neigh
borhood the poceerlings of the recent Locofoco
meeting partook of this characte. - , when the fact
was staririg•them in the face, that out of the 9h .
who volunteered to 'fight tho' battles of their 41164-

were members of theLocofoeo•party. Your kind

party in power, with a view of

We were led to these, remarks-for ,the purpose
of calling the 'attentitih of our readers to an extract

Coma jhoonen ThannErt.—Our tAwn on Wed.
nrsday evening last was throWn into_ a state of in
tense exeitement by a report that a:murder of the
most outrageous kind had been committed in this
ne4hborhoud, The facts so far as we are able to
ascertain them are as follows:
Jolt& Reese,who• our readers wtll recollect ,
liviur tried and acquitted for the murder of
hen at ,our last Court, was walking in company
with - his wife, sister and his two small children up
on the. l gotint Carbon Railroad in the direction . of
Wadesville, -.when they, were follocved by a man
carrying a miner's pick inhfs hand apparently with
no. good intentions. After proceeding, fur some
distance in this manner Reese, induced by his wife,
turned•to look bad:, when the man following them
seized the opportunity; to step, forward' and strike
Reese a violent blow with the pick upon the side
of his head, literally crushing his scull to pieces.
This occurred about 4 o'clock it the afteinoom.
The dnfdrtunate man lingered until the next morn..
'ing about 2 o"clock,When he expired. 'The rnur.
dercr has not yet been •arrested although our olfr
cers are in pursuit of hid. ; •".
'• Beldom have we been called upon to record an
instance of mOridartng and cool blooded mutder
than the above. The circumstances ander which
the .deed was perpetrated, in open day light—in
view of several dwellings—in the midst of the de- .
ceased's family—without provocation or quarrel,
all tend to stomp it as one of those diabolical acts
which overwhelm the mind by the magnitude of
its atrocity.. is but a short time _since this.un
fortunate man, ac4uitted by an impartial
_jury on
the ground dint he acted in welf defence. returned
to the_botne of his family with health and reason
shattered. He is now dead; we fear the victim of
rt deadly and implacable ieenge. •
•In view of all the facts our authorities ought

for our ceontry, but, at the seine time, to acknowl.

the inglorious surrender by Loco-Focoism of our

. If nuthina had been -done, and h itailioad - were

we would say take a route -in- a great-part graded
by nature—that is, ascend the •Scliny Pull to Read- ;
ring, from thence .to - Harrisburg, thence up 'the
„Susquehanna to Northumberland, and 'thence up
the West• Branch to near its head—or up the Sin
nemalionittr; and Bennet's Branch to the Surninit,.
dividing ;the Waters, of thgl Susquehanna from .
those of the Allegheny. From this surninit let
ono branch be. taken pff to Erie, •and the other
pass dotin the waters, of the Allegheny to Pitts
burg. But a Railroad is already constructed and
in operation from Philadelphia to liairis . burg by
another route. Begin then at the latter point and
+et the route aboie suggested be followed froth
thence...

There remains scarcely , :a doubt but thitt , a Rdil-,
road could be sainstructed between Harrisburg and

than 20' feet to a mile, and a strong probability
I exists that they may be reduced to 17.fect;•There

assume, in. the absence of all knowledge on the

- It is with the deepe-t sorrow that we announce the
death of one :m long known and so much beloved. M.
Nichols had been for Many. years a resident of this
place, and while his - talents would always. chromatid. -
bur respkt, yet out. esteem and affection were won by
the constant exercise of the, gentler
,vittnes..those
which strengthen the bonds of relationship and friend- -
'ship, throw their char in areundithe dOmestic circle, and
make the hom y of the 'Misses/of -happy. And though
his lark years were passed away from his native coon
. try, yet he left behind him among those who had' been
his neighbors and friends; the rerolleetion of tho many
kind offices the socuiliels of his heart prompted him to_
perform, a recollection which trow'only increases the
grief we feel for hts lobs. 7
The knowledge of Vie general' sympathy felt with
them,may not efface In any degree that grief from the
minds of those more intimately-related to him—who
knew him ben; and los'ed him most, yet when a good
Man departs, we feel it our duty to express the respect..
we feet for a spotless character and blameless life.
