j Cousistency is a jewel. It is to be
kept and obembed at all times as n treas
ure. So think we, and so thinks our
friend, the Editor of tbo Democrat: at
loast we are led to imagine so, after read
ing a succession of Editorials which have
from time to time appeared in that jour
nal. We have been more particularly in
duced to indulge in-these reflections, after
reading two articles which have, in the
short space of two weeks, emanated pro
fessedly from the same pen, and yet
whioh are quite the reverse of each other
in sentiment. In the first, our Editor,
either inspired by a little of tho Forney
Spirit, (owing to the Colonels recent vis
it amongst us,) or on account of some
other unaccountable cause; camo out with
quite a spirited denunciation of the re
cent nefarious, so called democratic State
Convention at Harrisburg. We even
fancied after reading tho aforesaid lead
er, that our friend was becoming repent
ant of his numerous political sins, and
that in course of time be would, if he had
good luck, become entirely converted to
the true faith of Anti-Lecoaiptonism.
This we are inclined to believe would
havo been tbe case had our friend been
allowed to follow tho honest promptings
of his own heart, whioh nature placed in
the right spot, but which has been sadly
warped and distorted, by political asso
ciations. But Alas! AlaB! for the pros
pect thus opened, of the future salvation
of this new convert. Alas! for human na
ture, when fear of the official Guillotine
is stronger than the sense of duty and the
honest cooviction of right. It has been
said that "uncasv lies tho head that wears
a crown," and judging from observation
and from the curious antics of our neigh
bor, tho head beneath the crown of even
a country Postmaster is no exception to
the general rule: especially when that
crown is holden by the precarious tenure
of pleasing a weak, puerile and vaecilla
ting Administration.
Fearing that perhaps he had gono too
far, and that in consequence, the Govern
mental pap, upon which our friend so in
gloriously thrives, might he withdrawn
from Jjis craving lips, he with great trep
idation hastens to explain in his last pa
per, what he meant in his previous one
And we gather in substance, from this
curious explanation,' that when this Edi
tor in his first paper made very flattering
allusions to Col. Forney; who, he says
"is one of the great men of our times; and
years will but add to tbe respect and es
teem which his taleuts and the goojJ qual
ities of bis head and heart," (and his po
litical principles, our friend would have
aid bad be dared,) "create for him in
the minds and hearts of all who make hi;
acquaintance:" all this laudation we pre
sume from the tenor of that remarkable
explanation, was intended, not for Mr.
Forney but for President Buchanan.
And ho goes on farther to express him
self in terms of unbounded adulation re
specting tbe administration of Mr. Bu
chanan, and is even willing to agree "for
tbe purpose of creating harmony in the
Democratic ranks,' (and to conciliate the
Powers that be.) "that Governor Packer
is a cheat and a rascal. Yet, as ho says,
"notwithstanding that Gov. Packer has
cheated aud defrauded our honest tax
payers out of their property, by the sale
of the Public Works:" he would bo in fa
vor of- a resolution approving of his
course. Here is a specimen of consisten
cy for you; not more strange than it is
characteristic. He would endorse a man
whom be believes, a consulate scoundrel,
if we are o believe what he says, and
all this immense sacrifice of conscience
would he make "for the purpose-of re-uniting
tbe Democratic party." How des
perate must tho affairs of that party be,
which demand such immense concessions
on the part of our peace loving neighbor.
But we cannot blame the Editor of the
Democrat, we onl y pity him. Blessed is
the man who has nothing to lose, and
therefore nothing to fear. We thank our
lucky stars that we are of this class, and
therefore that wo daro be independent.
We know, as the Editor of the Democrat
knows, aud we say, as tho Editor of the
Democrat dare not say, that the course ol
Gov. Packer has commended him to tbe
hearts and affections of every true patri
ot throughout the btate; and that the
great mass of "our houest tax-payers'
so farfroru feeling themselves "cheated
aud defrauded,' by the sale of our public
works to the Sunbury & Erie Railroad
A n an t n am I . . i I 1
tuuijinu;, uu me contrary, bless our
worthy Governor for that very act. And
the late dastardly insultjffcred to Mr.
Packer, by the bastard Deicooratio State
Convention , has kindled a fiamo of hon
est indignation in the bosom of every loy
al citizen of Pennsylvania, and caused
the estrangement of a great majority of
tho Democratic Party in this state, that
it will require greater sacrifices than ev
en the Editor of tbe Demoorat id willing
to make, to remove. Whether tbe trse
Democrats of Pennsylvania consider
themselves "c.heated and defrauded," will
be made manifest on the 13th iust. at
Harrisburg.

A Toting Man "faith Three Wives &
Attempt to marry tne x ourin jjmsua
ted. JameB R. Moulton, brought from Lit
tle Falls, New,York, on a requisition on
the Governor of Massachusetts, is a young
traveling boot and shoemaker, about 23,
of prepossessing appearance, wearing a
black moustache aud whiskers, and gen
teelly dressed. In Maine he left his wife
and two children at iJetbel. liis next
stopping place was "Worcester, Massa
chusetts, where he won the affections of a
handsome young lady, whom he married.
With her he lived a few months, and sud
denly left the place upon the eve of her
confinement. Her friends provided tor
her wants until several weeks after tbe
birth, when she was compelled to go to
tho almshouse.
His third victim was a young lady of
eighteen, the daughter of Morgan Stilen,
of North Adams, Mass. This was clan
destine, against the wishes of her parents.
They were married in Vermont, returned
home and were received with open arms
The next day bo left; a fortnight after, he
was traced to lroy, where he was again
engaged to be married. The day previ
ous to tho wedding he received inlorma
tion that an officer was in search for him
The officer reached Troy the day fixed
upon for his marriage. The hour for the
marriage arrived, Moulton was not to be
found.
Tbe would bo bride waited three long
hours for Moulton, (and so did the officer,)
but both wore disappointed, fur ho wa?
too shrewd to be caught. lie is next
traced to a house in Lydius street, in New
York city, from which ho escaped while
the officer was m it, by his comrade an
swering to" bis name. After nearly a fort
night, we find him writing letters. Mor
gan Stiles, the father of Moulton's last
wife was in New York city, when tbe lat
ter escaped from Lydius street. He went
home to North Adams, and kept watch
for all letters directed to his daughter.
On Tuesday be bad the satisfaction o
obtaining a letter for her from Moulton
who had assumed the name of Warren
Black. It was post marked Little Falls
New York.
In this letter he gives a glowing descrip
tion of the manner in which he escaped
and boastiugly says he is too cunuing to
be caught. He tells her that be has ob
tained a good situation and constant cm
ploynient, and that ho has engaged board
for her in a private boarding house kept
by Mrs. Hatter. Ho renews bis pledge
of loyc, and entreats her to come spccdi
to him, without the knowledge of her pa
rents. Wednesday night a loiter was re
ceived by Mr. Stiles, statig where Moui

assumed. Officers took the cars, and be

A Man Shot by his .Deranged Wafe.
The wife of Capt. B. F. Bentley, of
Monongahela, Pa., a young and beauti
ful woman, is subject to periodical de
rangement of the mind. On Wednesday
morning last, she got possession, by some
means, of the Captain's pistols, procured
powder and load, and loaded them, went
into the garret of the home. Discover
ing her whereabouts, the Captain went
after her, and as he ascended the last
flight of stairs, Ehe presented one of tho
pistols and fired. The ball or slug enter
ing his neck, in front of the jugular vein,
ascended through tbe jaw-bone, and was
found lodged in the opposite side of the
mouth, shattering bones and teeth in its
deadly course in a horrible and frightful
manner. The unfortunate husband is
still alive, but cannot recover.
Charge of Roasting a Man Alive.
A case involving circumstances of un
paralleled atrocity is reported in a for
eign paper. Two engineers of a steamer
employed in a mail service between Rio
and Panama, were recently brought up
before a police magistrate in Liverpool
charged with roasting ono of tho "coal
passers" to death. It "appeared that the
deceased, overpowered by the heat of the
bold, had given out, and laid himself
down on tho deck, unable to work. The
chief engineer sent him below, and oaus
ed to bo tied to a ladder between two
furnace doors, within two and a half feet
of one fire, and within three and a half
feet of the other. Tho fires wero lighted,
were raging fiercely, and were renewed
twice while the man remained tied. One
of tho witnesses said ho himself eould
not stand tho heat three minutes, and he
shipped as a stoker. Tbo victim of this
barbarity prayed to be released but was
conGned half an hour, at tbo end of which
timo he was carried to the forecastle; be
fore the next watch ho was thrown over
board; one of the winesses, tho man who
cut him from the laddor, thought he was.
dead before he was removod from the fire.
The names of tbo engineers are John Bu

name of the deceased was Thomas Lan

circulating a story that Mr. Ten Eyck.
tho new Republican Senator from Now
Jersey, is the owner of 200 slaves, be
queathed to his wife by her father This,
if true, ought certainly to procuro for
him tbe good opinion aud endorsement of
the servants of tho institution, instead of
being oited as against his honorable stand
ing. But the fact is that tho whole
charge is a fabrication. Senator Ten
Eyck might have been tho owner of a
number of slaves from the estate referred
if he had teen willing to become a slave
holder, yet not notwithstanding tho value
of the "property" devised, he absolutely
refused to receive tho legacy.
