SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL.
From the Vnton Tiroes.
UNITED STATES SENATOR
In the last No. of ihe Lewisburg Demotrat,
e dashing correspondent, writing from Phila
delphia, entertain U with a paragraph or
two on the election of U. S. Senator. Af
ter pronouncing a labored eulogy on the
'brilliaut talenti" of Judge Woodward and
Black, avails himaelf of the opportunity to in
dulge in a aerie of very ill-natured remarki
in reference to the Hon. Simoh CiMtnoK.
In hit application of the term "political dema
gogue" he haa been singularly unfortunate i
there are few publio men in the State to
whom the term could not be applied with
more propriety than to Gen. Cameron. But
the correspondent of the Democrat "doe not
know a tingle democrat io pnper in the Slate,
that hat the face to advocate hit claim foi
the U. S. Senate." A correspondent of a
publio journal should be belter informed.-
The following democratic! paper are friendly
to the election of that gentleman to the Sen
ate. The Sunbury American, Pottiville Em
porium, Lancasterian, Danville Intelligencer,
with olher throughout Ihe Stale. Whether
their influence ha been perrhased with the
fund of the Mitldletown Bank or not we emit
aay ; but we consider Ihe insinuation a dis
creditable to him who make it a it i inputt
ing to the respectable journal!! to whom it
i sought to be applied. But again : Gen.
Cameron ha no chance of being selected as
the caucus nominee of hi parly, inasmuch
a he formerly suffered himself to be elected
over the regular party nominee ! If we re
member correctly, the Hon. Jus Buchanan
did the same thing. They thetefore eland
pari passu. Yet we never heard this objec.
tion urged against Mr. Buchanan a nn un
pardonable political sin. Senator Cameron
aolsd in concert throughout his whole Sena
torial career with the parly to which he
ewes an early and an unwavering allegiance!
and while he guarded, with jealous rare, the
honor and the constitutional rightsof Ihe great
sovereignty which he in part represented, he
labored with ur.tiring zeal and signal ability
to promote the great industrial interest of
the Commonwealth. If other gentlemen,
who have had the honor to represent our in
terest at Washington, had pursued ihe same
line of policy, and obeyed the reasonable
wishes of the State, William F. Johnson
would not be it Governor to day nor Senator
Cooper it representative ; nor would our an
cient majority of 30,000 be reduced down, as
jt frequently is now, to a mere nominal one.
While Pennsylvania, in common wilh other
Slates, is satisfied wilh the general features
of the tariff acf of 1846, she demands addi
tional protection for her extensive mining in
terest an additional duly of 10 per cent,
upon iron and the same increase upon bitu
minous coal, will satisfy Ihe claims of our
citizens, and deprive our opponents of their
only remaining hobby. We trust in thi
juncture of our political affair, the Legisla
ture will look well to the matter and elect
no free trade man to fill the important station
referred to. We wish to see "the old Key
tone herself again," rolling up her usual
majorities.
If our friend of the Quaker' city tan not
find many Cameron Democrais where he in
habits, we can tell him where he will find
them : he might find thrm in great force
among the yeomanry of this great Common
wealthamong its intelligent and numerous
artisansin the thousand forges and furnaces
scattered ihioughoul Ihe Stale, toiling on its
mountain topi, and the deep recesses of ils
mines plain, honest, warm-hearted men
who will not soon forget the distinguished
tervices rendered them by the Hon. Simon
Cameron in the Senate of the United States.
A LOOKER ON IN VKNICC.
Brutal. One of the most brutal and inhu
man act of which we ever heard, say the
Carlisle Democrat, came to our knowledge a
few day since, the particular of which, as
related to us by a gentleman conversant with
the facts, are briefly these : A laboring mam
lately in the employ of the Mount Holy Iron
Woiktin this county, lost a ton, some 12 or
15 year of age, by death. The coffin, being
made according to the dimensions sent, was
found, on placing therein the remains to be
entirely too small. Whereupon the inhuman
father cooly took up the corpse, and carrying
it to the wood pile, deliberately chopped off
bolk the feet above the ankle. Such an act of
monstrosity, in a community like this, in
enough to curdle our heart's blood, and made
us wonder to what manner of species we be
long. Cholera among thc U. States Troops.--Charleton,

-ALMOST A RIOT.
Pcoau, Illinois, December 19th, 1850.
Our city wa spa in thrown into much excite
ment to-day. The execution of Brown and
William for the murder ef Mr. Hewelt, waa
to have taken place yesterday, but by an or
der from the Governor, received on Wednes
day, it waa extened to the J5ih of January
next. Thi not being generally known net
expected, large masse of people of thi and
adjoining counties, assembled to witnes the
execution, and being disappointed in their ex
peotations, a portion of them resolved thai the
person should be executed forthwith, and ur
ged on by exciting peeehe, they got posse,
sion of the scsffold from the jail yard, and
ereoted it in Ihe street, In front of the jail. They
then effected an entrance by jerking the door
and lock, and proceeded with crowbarsi
scantling and olher implement, to the cells,
where they met wilh reilance from Brown,
who, although shackled, a soon a Ihe cell
were opened, stepped into the hall, disarmed
a few of Ihe mobbers, by taking from ihem
Ihe crowbar and caniling, barred hi cell on
ihe inside, and defied them. He broke the
wahtling over the mobbers, and rave them
other t riling illustration of hi entire disap'
proral of such unlawful proceedings. The
prisoner were again secured in the cell, and
before dark Ihe crcwd dispersed.

THE POSTAGE BILL.
We are glad to tee that our member Hon
Joseph Casey hat taken the proper ttand
on thit question, viz: uncompromising
hostility to every or any bill that will not
do justice to the Country Press, by allowing
free circulation of newspapers within
the County or Congressional district. Let
the members from the interior tpeak out
their sentiments, boldly & empirically, and
they must and will be heard. Legislation
hat been controlled to long by city influ
ence, that the rightt of the interior are al
most wholly forgotten and neglected.-
There it however, a determination of our
best men in Congrest to carry the measure,
and we feel satisfied it will be done. We
arc glad to see Mr. Thompson of Erie, do
ing battle in our caose. Mr. Morse (from
Louisiana we believe,) said he had not seen
a single argument in favor of reduction, and
as for the encouragement of the Country
Press, he seemed to have an utter contempt.
We doubt whether a man so stupid could
be ever made to tee or comprehend any ar
gument, and we think the Country Prest
will be unanimous in awarding to him a
leather medal for hit unrivalled stolidity.

TELEGRAPH TO THIS PLACE
Now that the line of Telegraph is about
being completed to Northumberland, it
could be brought to this place at a small
expense. Three hundred dollars would,
we believe, accomplish the object. It it
the intention of the Company to extend
the line to Harrisburg, and the quettion is,
which side of the river presents the most
advantages. On thit tide, the line would
pass through a larger number of towns, viz:
Sunbury, Trevorton, Millersburg, Halifax
and Dauphin. On the West side, Selins-
grove and Liverpool are the only important
towns. In a few years there will also be
a rail road communication from this place
to Harrisburg. Besides the line on thit
tide would traverse the outlet of Jour coal
regions between this and Harrisburg, vizi
Sunbury, Trevorton, Millersburg and Dau
phin. Our neighbors of Selinsgrove, which
s the only important point on the West
ide, could be readily accommodated by
stretching a line across the river from the
Isle of Que,
Liverpool. The City councils have appro
priated $ 1,500 towards celebrating the
event. The Glasgow it expected every
day and with two other Steamers now buil
ding, will constitute a regular line.

Lettert of patent were granted on the 5th
ult., to R. A. FmicR, of thit place, for a
washing machine, under thc above title. A
fair trial, which the inventor ha given thi
machine in hi own family, enable him tafe
ly to recemmend it to the public. Any gar
ment which can be washed clean by hand
orothewite, can also be washed clean by this
machine, in les lime, and with ies labour.
Besides this, it possesses a propeity in which
most, if not all other washing machine arc
lacking: namely, in washing quickly and
without Ihe least injury to the clothes, it be
iug constructed on the pressure, instead of thc
rubbing system. Those who entertain any
doubt concerning ihe correctness of our asser
tion can satisfy themselves of its tiuth by
giving it a trial. The inventor doe not in
tend to manufacture the machine himself,
but offer the patent for sale, on reasonable
terms, by townships, counties or slates.

incident which happened in the village of
Peidmont, N. H., last week. Two little
children, one five and the other three yean
ef age, strayed from home. Not returning at
dark, a general search throughout the night was
made by the people of the vilages. In the
morning thc children were discovered in an
open field, lying npon the frozen ground and
locked in each others' arms, one sleeping
soundly and the other awake. Although the
night wa a severe one, thc little ones have
ihown as yet no ill effect from the exposure.
It is wonderful how two such little children

He represented to Mr. Htilsemann, lhat the
refugee of bleeding Hungary would be re.
ceived wilh open arm, anil that, if Austria
demanded, hi passport would be ready at
any moment. Whereupon Mr. H. wrote
home for further instructions, but these not
having arrived, the chagrined diplomate may
be supposed to serve only in a quasi capacity.
SINGILAR MISTAKE.
The Philadelphia papers mention the re
turn to that city of the negro man who had
been arrested a few days since, as a runaway
slave, and remanded to hi owner near Elk-
Ion, Md. Thc Norih American ha the fol
lowing account of the affair:
Not the right Wan. Adam Gibson, the col
ored man who wa arrested in thi city, on
Saturday, as a fugitive slave, and sent to the
Stale of Maryland, under thc derision of the
United States Commissioner, Mr. Ingraham,
turns out to have been Ihe wrung man. He
was taken by the officers in charge of him to
Elklon, on Sunday, and Mr. William Knighl,
of Cecil county, hi reputed owner, sent for.
A oon a Mr. Knitit saw the prisoner, he
said : "lhat is not my slave I know this
man, Adams he wns formerly a slave in
thi neighboihood how he obtained his lib.
erly I do not know he is not mine." Mr.
Knight afforded the officer every opportunity
lo resinie the colored man lo hi family and
friends.
Gibson returned to Philadelphia yesterday
evening Warrenl have already been isaued
for the arrest of Albert! and ihe other men,
engaged in his capture.
It appeal that, at the time Adam Gibson
wa arrested, Emery Rice, the alleged fugi
live slave, the property of Mr. Ki.ight, wa
in conversation with Gibson, 'hi friend, and
wa (landing within a few feet of him. Al
berti and his party mistook the cue for Ihe
other, and hence the unfortunate phase
which the case present.
