Taylor would question tho motives orsinceri

ted at a time when the country had emerged
from a state of revolution and commenced its

all those tests and yet the moro unforced
by his own singular and vacillating course
setting at defiance the very men who 'stoop

if Gen. Cass had seen lit to take "the Phila

At this junction of u flairs there can be but
icne course left to the men of principle in our
own ranks and well we know thousands of
all parties, who cannot sympathize with any
of the present candidates would rush to our

that is to "do right, and trust to Providence

seem to think tfiut we have been already,
quite too generous, in allowing the whigs,

take charge of it again ourselves, fora time,
at least.

UL" We make room for the following
letter from a Correspondent from Lewis'
Township, exposing the trickery which was
resorted to, in order to effect the nomination
of R. M. Frick, at the recent whig Con
vention at this place. The writer is one of
the ablest, and deservedly one of most pop
ular whigs of northern Pennsylvania. His
character and high standing, is to us a suf
ficient guarantee of the truth of his state
ments, and would preclude the idea.ol mis
representation. As our whig friends have
no organ in this County, but the paper pub
lished by Mr. Frick himself, we fee! bound
to give publicity to the Communication,
in order to expose the shameful duplicity
ami treachery that was evidently resorted
to, in order to thwart the wishes ol the
majority of the whigs in this county.
Lewis Township. Sept. 11th 18 IS.
Ma. EniToit :
I h ive just seen tho Miltonian, containing
an account of the proceedings of our whig
delegates and also the opinion of Charley B..
a corresiHindeut, that it passed off "without
mitrft gouging," 1 cannot tell what Charley
calls mi'cii, but, he must allow mo to say, he
is mistaken: my opinion that Mr. Frick'
nomination was effected altogether by goug
ing, from Harrisbnrg to Lewis Township is
worth as much as his based upon the circum
stances 1 shall state, which belong to the pub
lic to know. First in tho list of Delegates I
see the name of Wm. S. Montgomery, Frick's
dear cousin, how iu the naiiio of tho gods
eanio ho into the temple of honor ! ! ! I will
tell you.
Montgomery, intended to be a delegate but
finding lit) could not bo elected, procured
Samuel Shannon, Esq., to run in his slend ;
nineteen citizens met, and those who desired
somo other candidate than Frick, voted a dif
ferent ticket. The result was that Squire
Shannon and James Tweed, were chosen de
legates ; they differing in opinion as regard
ed the Senatorial candidates. After the tie.
legates were chosen, a vote was taken and
S. Hunier was recommended for Senator, 2
dissenting voices; and James Armstrong,
Esq., for Congress, the same number disseut
ing, the delegates therefore, were so instruc
ted, 14 persons were in the room, wfcen the
instructions were voted.
After the meeting adjourned, Mr. Shannon
approached the other delegate (Tweed) uud
stated that it did not suit him. to go to Sun.
bury, he had no horse, and ho would not
have consented at all to go only that lie did
not like to have such a "Btathcrjng foot as
Montgomery," sent into the Convention, That
their going would effect nothing, as he would
not obey tho instructions they would balance
each other, and proposed that they should
not go at ull and he would pledge his honor
to the observance of the arrangement Mr.
Tweed consulted a few of those who elected
him and acceded to Shannon's proposition.
On the following day (Sunday,) uuder the
droppings of the sanctuary where he was pre.
paring fur a solemn act, be again pledged his
honor, if h had honor in him, that he would
not violate the arrangement. But what fob
lowed ! ! He started like a thief in the night,
takes his blathering fool and they proceed to
Sunbury ! And this accounts for the. name
of W. S. Montgomery appearing as the sole
representative of Lewis.- How did ha as an
honoiable man, knowing the circumstance! ac.
eept of a aeatl .The answer . to this is iu
Charley B.'s communication. ' They went to
Sunbury to act as circumstance- required,
and they found before 13 o'clock that the
forks by such trickery could nominate Frjck.
I do not sea Shannon's name., in the list of
delegate no 'matter he had his seat su p
plied I - And "Blathering fool", as he ex
posed his colleague to be, will find men of his
own depth often exert a greater influence
than any other. Did Mr. Shannon not exert
an influence "fteors .12 o'cfocl" himself t- It
Is but just that his betrayed voltenguo should
know what took bim to Sbnbury, v
.. While it is within the scope of probability
that Frick was nominated by this trick it is
equally so that Mr. Armstrong lost the vote
of Northumberland County. ' Had Shannon
and Tweed been in the place assigned them
on the first ballot, '. Armstrong would have
had 12 votes and Quay 1, which would have
been a strong leader in favor of Armstrong.
It is therefore not improbable that this trea
chery gave a cast to the Congressional as
wells the Senatorial nominations.
I am not suffiently versed in the mytholo
gy of the pagan nations to define the reasons
which gave rise to the belief of, some of
them, in the transmigration or the spirits of
dying men and animals into thoso just be
ginning to live, but, I tnke it, that it wns by
observing a viinilarity of action between ani
mal and auiinn and not unfrequently between
men and animal. Perhaps they had politi
cians and comity delesmlions and such tric
kery, which is quite likely from the part that
Aristides was ostracised and banished because
he was an honest man. BenTlthisas it may,
if there is any thing in the dogma alluded to,
a pairof contemptiblu dogs must have yelped
their Inst ut tho birth of the Lewis ambassa
dors to Sunbury.
As I made Hnrrisburg a point, as well as
Lewis, let me refer to it before I close.
There happened to be a firm established
near tho State Capitol for binding and stitch
ing state papers and selling stationary, quills
&e , Hiid a board placed over the door with
Clyde and Williams on it, 1 know not whence
they came, but they matlo money and 1 be
lieve both have military lilies; they are also
adepts iu nautical science such as is practiced
in the Latitude and Longitude of our eom
monwealtu which admirably tils them to tnke
the command and net fhe Black beard of a
lumbering crew. It somewhat happens, per
haps by accident, that one of the lirmhas ac
ted us Senatorial conferee ever since Dauphin
and Xorlliumbeihindbecaiiiea district. Three
years since Mr. Williams was the conferee
from Harrisbnrg with tins preamble, 1 will
let you see the clue I have, by l'h end.
Between tho 14th and 20th April 1815 a
distinguished eitien of llarrisburg, ut the in-
stance of a friend, called at the olliee of
Clyde & Williams, to ascertain their dispo
sition in regard to ;a candidate proposed by
Northumberland enmity. Mr. Williams, the
conferee ; was not in but Mr. Clyde, in great
confidence 1 suppose, stated his views, lie
agreed that it would be best to (live the can
didate to Northumberland, provided a suita
ble one cnuld be had, said be, you know we
make our living out of the Legislature and
we are resolved to no for no candidate in
Northumberland or eVewheie unless we
know l hat we' can use him, and you know
well that the candidate proposed byNorthurn
berlund, if elected camiof he v.s.l and so we
will support any other candidate whom we
.don't know rather than he.
This same Mr. Clyde, li.npprnod, perhaps
bv accident, to be one of the Conferees who
' nominated Mr. Frick. Mr. Frick was one of
I lie Conferees who met the partner of Mr.
Clyde, in 1845, and although he may be a tall
man with a big nose, and neither swear,
drink, gamble nor be given in marriage, as
Charley B. writes,, he can and has dealt
treacherously to the injury of his f iend. It
is proper that the public should be informed,
whether any understanding took place be
tween him and a certain individual, in llar
risburg iu 1845, which induced his treachery
at the time. And what arrangements he
made with Mr. Clyde, about the 5lh of July
last, a f.w days after Mr. Clyde was nppoinT
ted Conferee, when he visited Harrisbnrg,
and had an interview with him. Unless Mr.
Clyde has changed his views, they talked
much about the mutual advantages which
would accruo to both by csino each other us
occasion might require.

ARRIVAL OF Til H STATE PRISONERS IX
BELFAST,
About half-past twelve o'clock to-day (Sa
turday) the Government screw steamer Tra
falgar landed fourteen ot tho state prisoners
at Dunbar's Dock, where a largo attendance
of polices, with Mr. Jenkins, R. M , ut their
head waited their arrival. The quay was
densely thronged with speclatoro, but no
word expressive of fouling pr ) or co i esca
ped from the crowd.
They entered the prison van, and were es
corted to tho new jail by a few police and
troop of the Carbineers. Tho crowd follow
ed the van a short distanco from tho quay,
but the driver having received orders to move
quicker, drove off at a rapid pace, and left
the spectators behind.
The prisoners, with one exception, are
young men of manly appearance and robust
constitution, looked the personation of good
health, und seemed quite cheerful. They

"There is, 1 think, but little excitement as
to the Presidential question in this quarter.
I fear it is not the case with yoit. 1 seej af
ter all the paint I have taken to be distinctly
understood as to my position, 1 have not es
caped misconstruction; which' 1 attribute to
party zeal. If my friends, on both sides,
would regard me as taking no part between
tho two candidates,-and as standing on inde
pendent ground, ready to support or oppose
the successful, as his measures may or may
not accoi'4 with the principles and views of
policy which have long governed me, they
would avoid all misapprehension. I see much
to condemn and little to approve in either
candidate." ,
California against Slavery..; While the
North and the South aro discussing the ques
tion of slavery in the new territories, and ex
hibiting a degreo of violence anil feeling un
called for by the subject, the people of the
new territories arc settling the matter for
themselves in a way that will be very effec
tual. The people of Oregon said it should
not exist, and the people of California are
coming to the same determination. .The I
Califomia Star takes strong ground against I
, .. . , . , I
it, and as this is the only newspaper in that
quarter, it is moat likely reflects public senti- j
ment upon the subject.. It says, at the pre-
sent time "there is not a slave in California,
and the power of the Homo Government is
iiMdenm.te to their introduction into that tcr. !
i
ritory. ''Those who attempt to transfer their
slaves from the east to the west of the ltocky
Mountains, will meet with thu inevitable loss
of their properly. They might us well at
tempt to remove them to New England or to
Cauuda.' It is said, 'that tho simple recog
nition of slavery liiuo would bo looked upon
us a greater misfortune to the territory than
though CalifoiRia had remained iu its former
slate.' - It declares that neither the soil, the ! in ihe liorouuli . f Sunhoiy- the following detcri,
climate, nor the productions of California, are I l,i V' l,r',v- '" "', ' " ' '
suited to slave labor, and that thev could not - certain trac t or piece of Land.

people." Such sentiments as these are the
most effectual barrier to tho introduction of
slavery. They will make California a fiee
soil in spite of nil the clamors aud obstructions
raised by a faction iu the South. Vhila. Led

A FuiaiiTKi t Accident at La vino tih:
CoRxra Stosb of a Cui'itcii 0;i Sunday
afternoon, there was a frightful accident at
the laving oflhe corner stone of the new
Catholic Chinch, corner of Eighth st. and
Avenue B. N. York., ll had been announced
the Herald says, that Rev. Bishop Hughes
would perform the services of tho lying of
th'J corner stone of u new Catholic Church, to
be erected at tho corner of those streets, and
this drew a largo crowd together to witness
tho ceremony. The walls of the basement
had been built, mid the flo ir laid over thu tim- j
hers. About 4 o'clock, from eight hundred j
to one ih Hisand persons collected ?n this floor I

upon it precipitating the mass of human be
ings into ihu basement below, a distance of
twelve feel, and against th-- front wall, n
midst the fallinz brick and timber. The scene
of confusion nnd desptir lhal followed can
more easily bo imagined than described. A
bout fifty persons were taken more or less
hurt. Some were very seriously injured.
Two were taken immediately to tho City
Hospital . . Oiio man, named Patrick Kelly,
was so much crushed that what ho had eaten
for dinner was forced out of his mouth. Al
though there wero no outward bruises, yet he
died soon aftur, probably from some eternal
injuries. One boy had both legs broken, and
there is very littlu reason to believe that ho-
will recover. Jaao Bums had her right le;
b.t Ily fractured. Hector MeDongall also had
his right leg badly fractured. Another man
injured iu tho spine.
