A Si. Louis Romance—Strange Vi cittsiluilcs in the Life of a No* blenmu. The Si. Louis Republican records Ihe death of an old man in that city, and in re gard to his life furnishes the following t M.my years' ago Baron Frederick von Oertel, whose family Was one of the most ! independent and aristocratic in Saxony, fell in love with a poor girl and determined to marry her. He thus incurred the displeasure j of liis wealthy father, who, on learning of the proposed alliance, at once disinherited the young nobleman and turned him from lii< door. Th'is sudden reverse exasperated and maddened the lover, and bidding a silent farewell to the home of his childhood, and without informing the object of his affection, bent his course to this country. On arriving here he j lined the United Stales army, and served ten years as a soldier. It is said that his bravery and true heroism on the fields of Mexico, won the admiration of all who had opportunities to observe them. At the expiration of the ten years’ service, he returned to Germany to ascertain how the estate of his family was managed. He found that his parents were in their graves, and that the property was distributed equally among his brothers and sisters, himself being wholly overlooked and disregarded in the will. To add to his dark fortunes, he ascer tained that the girl who was the innocent cause of his ruin had married and moved away. Von Oerlel's mind had never fully, recovered from Ihe shock his intelligence . had created. Wandering in reason, he re lumed to the United Stales and came in St. Louis. Here he was prostrated by violent sickness for some months. When he con valesced, be found himself entirely.destitute of means. His pride was thoroughly bioke down, and, for a livelihood, the Baron actu ally took to selling “hieizels,” a hind of pastry much in ’ favor with the Germans. Hu confined in this paltry but honest business for sixteen or eighteen years, and gained the appellation of “Brelzel Fritz.” Three years ago, having saved up the snug sum of §9OO, and having met one of the opposite sex in whom he thought he could confide, and whom he believed would make him a good and faithful wife, though she was several years his junior. Von Oertel. was married. One day, a few months after wards, on -going homo with his basket, he found that liis wife had eloped with a seducer, and not con'enl with bringing her husband to diijrrace, had taken his money and every thing of any value about the house, leaving lyim m possession of a basket of bretzels and a, di-honored heart. The old pn an, for he w'ps now fifty-three years of age, quietly bWe his new grief, and again, with perhaps an imprecation on the false ope, addressed himself lo the one great task of his life— forgetting. - “Breizel Fritz” has hern well known in Si. Louis—a wrinkled, slow-paced, stooping old man, wiili his 'basket on Jiis arm and rarely n smile on his face. In the last three years he* has laid away $4OO, the profits of h:s Utile business. Yesterday he was buried, having been sick three or four weeks. Before he expired he benevolently bequeathed his small possessions to the orphan children of a poor man, well known to many of our citi zens, who died about a year ago. And so ended the eventful career of Baron Frederick Von Oertef. The Slaver at Charleston. —The Ctmrleslon Courier of Saturday has the fol lowing notice of the slaver recently captured by the United States brig Dolphin : Thete reached our Quarantine yesterday afternoon a brig called the Echo, having on board 300 Africans. She tvas captured on the 21st inst., about 7 p. m., off the north coast of Cuba, in latitude 33° 30 min. lon gitude 80' 20 min. by the United Stales brig Dolphin, Lieut. J. N. Maffelt commanding, j The suspicions of the officers of the Dol phin were aroused by the brig hauling sud denly off from the coast of Cuba, when chase was immediately made after her. On npar ing the brig, which the Dolphin did rapttjlly, two blank cartridges were fired at her, wlhen she hoisted the American ensign—the Dol phin being at the moment under English colors. T»o shots were then fired ahead to make her heave to ; but she continuing on her course, the Dolphin hois'ed American colors, and fired a shot at her, when she was promptly brought to. Lieut. Bradford of the Dolphin then boarded her with sixteen men, and found on her a crew of nineteen, composed of English, Americans and Span iards; and a cargo of three hundred and eighteen Africans, twelve of whom have died sirice the capture. The Dolphin took on boat;d a part of the original crew of the brig, and took them to Key West, from which port they will be sent by steamer to this city. The negroes, so far as they .could be seen are about fifteen years of age, and good, looking. They are suffering from dysentery. It is supposed that the present name of the brig is only an. assumed one. She is of Baltimore model, and a fine vessel. The prize crew consists of Lieut. J. M. Bradford, Lieut. C. C. Carpenter, ten seamen and six marines. 1 A Political “Jeu D* Esprit.**—Presi dent Buchanan to the Queen. —White House, Washington, Aug. 6.

Wood has established himself over Roberts 1 Hardware Store, and is prepared to furnish good pictures for the million. Try him. We have received No. 1 of The School and Home Journal , a handsome quarto monthly, published by Marcus Willson, New York, at $1 per year. From a hasty glance at its neat pages we incline to think that it merits and will receive an extensive patronage. The Republicans of Susquchana county have nominated Hon. G. A. Grow for Congress, Judge Wilmot for President Judge and S. B. Chase for As sembly. The Congressional Conference was to mcct.at Towanda, on Tuesday of the current week. Mr. Grow has received the nomination without ques- Therc arc some whose tongues are no slander* however nauseous may be the speech that chips there from. Such, in our judgment, are the tongues to whose slanders a quietus is effectually administered by the neighbors of Mr. Power in another place. That brief Card renders the addition of a single word by us unnecessary. Let the endorsement of those unimpeachable witnesses stand against the falsehood of the coward that hides behind un assum ed name. ft seems that Mr. Parkhurst was not nominated for Representative by the Mulatto parly in its dark lantern Convention. We are glad to learn this for his sake; as, notwithstanding bis repute as an ear nest Republican, a nomination from that parly could hardly fail to bring his integrity under suspicion. Our acquaintance with Mr. Purkhurst forbade a be lief that he would consent to run on that ticket. Mr. Bailey received the nomination for Sheriff, and appears to be the only man running on the Bu. chanan ticket. We write this for the eyes of patriot-politicians alone; and if any of our Mulatto-democratic politi cians recognize themselves in the pictures wc may draw, our object will be accomplished. The man who first uttered the injunction: “Look “ out for No 1,” -deserves a halier. In the text above, “ I” represents No. 1 ; “They” the private and particular friends of No. I; “ All,” the masses, or those who do the world’s work and desire to vole conscientiously when they vote at all. No. 1 is a patriot-politician, desirous of daringJ and doing wonderful things,for his country. He is always “in the hands of his friends;” liis mission' is briefly written: “To Be. to Do, to Suffer 1” for the good of the many, ostensibly ; for the glory and profit of No. 1 and “They,” really. He is at peace with all the world once in twelve months ; is alive to the best interests of the people and would be glad to see the price of wheat fixgd by law at not less than ten shillings per bushel, were such a tiling possible. “ Give me the power and I will fit all that,” says he. Besides, he experiences a sudden affection for other people’s babies, washed and un washed, and is, altogether, a very pleasant and agree able follow. “They,” arc the private and particular friends of No, 1. Not from any affection for the man, or his character, but bccanse he pays them well for turn ing the grindstone, “ They,” have axes to grind— shockingly dull axes, loo—almost as dull of edge as u Thcy” are of apprehension. Their business is to take care of the Interests of the people; which, be ibg interpreted, meanelh— the glory and profit of No I. If the public purse is to be lapped, they .Rlrailway insist that the pocket of their illustrious champion shall catch the drip. If there be a post of honor and profit at the disposal of the people, they go down on llnyr bellies and wriggle in the slime and filth of political mendicancy lo obtain it for No. I. If the people disregard their petitions, these sycophants shrink into their shells and swear (hat the masses are besotted fools, given over to be lieve a lie that they may 'be damned. Anon, they conic out and take the “ dear people" by the button hole; and they take them aside, and with lugubri ous countenances, with one hand patting the public’s coat-collur caressingly, blubber : “ Dear public, you have been cheated, humbugged, cajoled and lied to! Wc hugged your babies and kissed your un. washed feet; we crawled on our bellies and rolled in the mud of sycophancy without stint; we begged, we pleaded, wc lied; your babies crow over us and your feet spurned us; you turned a deaf car lo uur prayers, you would not believe our lies, you have plunged the country into irretrievable rum.

All honors, postsand perquisites arc theirs to bestow, or to withhold. It is for them to say who shall receive and who shall not. To their unbiased choice we would cheerfully submit every question within their jurisdiction* At the same time wc know that a lie travels faster than a truth, and for the sufficient reason that there arc more false than true men among the class known as ” politicians.” We do not need to be told that politics and knavery have come to be synonyms in the vocabularies of debauched rulers, despotic Cab inets and infamous statesmen; and if smaller men descend to use similar weapons, who shall wonder? We want the masses to remember (hat the advo calcs of a bad cause are ever more active than hou* James Buchanan, Republican Nominations. For Congress, (Subject to the decision of the Conferees.)

And we ask them to remem her another thing; it is this: Not every man can hope (o get through tins rough world without some braises, or to go down to his grave without scars. If the people stop to right the real, or imaginary wrongs of individuals, who shall right the wrongs of the nation? Republicans—we have nothing to do with either ' selfish 41 1,” or subservient “They,” in this battle. As men, in earnest and determined opposition to the wicked policy of the great central, controllng power,' we must waive all minor considerations and go lu | work as one man. As for u«, we shall work now, as 1 ever, uninfluenced by personal considerations, having in view the importance of preserving the organiza tion of the party as the great agent of the nation's emancipation. We have no strength to waste for the advancement of men, considered aa such ; but | for the measures which promise to redeem the lost; good name of this Republic and to make it truly | what U lyingly boasts of being —a land of Freedom , j —for those measures we give all we have to give, freely, gladly and to the uttermost. " ] If there be any in the Republican ranks whose ’ loyally depends upon favor and reward, let them he placed two puces in front for inspection. We much desire to see how such men carry themselves when divested of the cloak of pretence. Give them aprons of fig-leaves and let them go. They are dis organizers of the dog-in-the-manger order, devoid of all those qualities which characterize the trusty and .true soldier ot Freedom. These are the Judases of political parlies, and the sooner our ranks arc quit of them, if such there be, the belter. Political Correspondents. —Lying before us is a communication, the perusal of which reminds us that we have a duty to perform which had ns well *bc performed now, in the morning of the campaign, as at any time. By taking lime by the forelock we hope to obviate the necessity of alluding to the sub ject again.' There are some who, by precept and example, pro claim that all is fair in politics.’* The Sham-dcm ocracy have held to this doctrine for many years. We deny this monstrous doctrine and always have denied and denounced it; and when, to succeed, it becomes necessary lo lay flown self-respect and that integrity which constitutes the brightest jewel in the crow"n of true manhood, we shall choose defeat. With the private relations of candidates, except they take on the shape of crime, we have never meddled and shall not meddle; nor shall we accord to others, no mailer who may ask it, a privilege which a de cent regard for the proprieties of life forbids decent men to exercise. Therefore we say to our correspondent—“Nol” Could he substantiate the charges made, by ten, or twenty “ unimpeachable witnesses,” &till would we refuse to defils our columns with such personalities upon our bitterest enemy. Besides, we have an un measured contempt for the man who would attack the private character of any individual behind the screen of an assumed name. The softest name we recognize lor such scribblers is “ Coward*.” Show us an anonymous slanderer and wc will show you a smooth tongued hypocrite, an unconscionable liai and a poltroon with so little sclf-rcspcct that lie can. not look up at the midnight sky without blushing. Honorable men do not resort to such weapons of warfare, not in self-defence, even; and while we do not prescribe the course to be pursued by others, we recognize a belter modqof conducting personal quor. rels than that of newspaper recriminations. He must be weak indeed who cannot wield more honor able weapons. Bat what kind of a cause is that, which, to nd. vance, requires low, personal thrusts, the dregs of lies and the low cunning of doggery politicians? What reputable man would accept of place bought with such hire ? What honorable nnn will engage in such a struggle, or be accessory to such flagrant misconduct? Consider these questions calmly. I| is better to bo men Ilian mice. Private lives arc private property ; but the deeds of public men arc public properly, and, moreover, proper subjects of the strictest scrutiny, of praise or blame. Wo assure our correspondent that no unnecessary severity is intended in these remarks. We intend to make the campaign on political issues, not per sonal, or local. The Republican ticket, from Grow to county Auditor, stands on a truly Republican plat lorm, opposed to the spread of Slavery and to the wicked Administration of James Buchanan. It is the platform on which Republicans fought the fight of 1856; and as every vole for Fremont was a vole for free men and free soil and every vote for Buch anan a vote for Slavery, so every vote for the ticket at the head of this paper will be counted a vote tor Freedom—as an expression of political sentiment in Tioga county—and every vote for the opposing can didates will be counted an endorsement of the Ad ministration of Buchanan, as well as of its infamous Kansas policy, its truckling subserviency to the South and its prostitution of to the con. summation of outrages which are rendering this Republic a byeword on the lips of nations. Every man, therefore, will go to the ballot-box with his eyes open and so vote. Making the campaign upon this issue wc have no fears for the result, because Right is invincible und the masses will be true to their convictions of political dnty, regardless of the specious wheedling of political enemies. Again.—A correspondent is informed that it is of very little consequence to us what course Mr. John W. Bailey pursues to compass an impossibility. If, as our friend alleges, Mr. Bailey has been paying better prices for cattle this season than usual, accor ding to their market value, that is his concern, and not ours. If he can make a solitary vole for him self in that way, we have no objections to offer. It is not complimenting the Intelligent voters of this county very much, if our informant did but know it, to suppose that any considerable number of them would accept so paltry a bribe. For our pari, we have-no idea that Mr. Power's popularity can be in jured by any probable advance in the price of beef. The people will scotch that snake. The same correspondent is informed that Mr. El liott is not opposed to Power, tumor to the contrary, notwithstanding; at least, Mr. E. assured us next day afler the Convention, that he should support the entire ticket, and that is enough. From onr ac. quainlance with the man we make no doubt he will do just what lie voluntarily declared he would do. Anything further ? As lo the charge that any candidate was nomina ted by fraud in the Republican Convention, no man of candor, conversant with the proceedings of the Convention, makes any charge of the kind. The cry is set up by the Mulattoes for effect It is for the interest of that party lo create divisions in the Republican ranks. It is their last and only hope. Is it strange that a party steeped (o the eyes in frauds, whose official record for years past is but an unbroken series of stupendous frauds!—is it strange that sue}) a parly should set up the cry ol Fraud 7 Why,—the leading men in that parly pre tend to do nothing except by underhanded and frau dulent means. In this county, they arc busily en gaged in writing slanderous letters, defaming the character of Mr. Power, Republican nominee for Sheriff— letters which the authors should be made to eat, bit by bit and afterward driven out of the society oh honest men and kindly lodged in some moral pest-house. The New York Tribune. —To the Prospectus of this Journal we direct the attention of our read, crs. They will find it in a neighboring column. We have a word lo say of the Tribune* When we first became acquainted with The Trib une it was a fearless and uncompromisingly radical journal, devoted ostensibly to the interests of the Henry Clay order* of politicians; but really to the masses, it was what the Tribune was to the people of Old Rome; «For then there” was a M Tribune lo speak the word of might!** But The Tribune, imbued with the spirit of progress made a stride forward and stood freed from the shackles of Party. Under tiie better rule of its in dependence it rapidly arose to the highest place in the field of Journalism and its Weekly edition be came “ as familiar as Household Words** in thou sands of families. As the fast foe of Wrong it has blessed Humanity and the world is bettered thereby. It dealt boldly with public men and public measures —exposed corruption and unkenneled hordes that fattened on the people's money; and in this work it leads to-day as fearlessly and efficiently as it led then. But The Tiihune prospered and grew strong, and Willi prosperity came a tinge of that Conservatism which may be considered a characteristic of that Success which is born of unabated struggle with ad verse influences. Thai tinge deepened by slow de grees and finally ripened into posiliveness. We do not recognize in its dealings with New Things the frank independence and manly contempt of Mrs. Grundy which endeared it to (he liberal years ago. It has bent the knee lo Expediency—forgetting that the Right is always and only expedient. We disa grec with its avowed policy touching the duly of the Republican parly in this emergency; we disown its compromising, time-serving course on the great question of the day as a dishonorable concession of ground on tiie moral question. What it hopes to gain by concession of ground won in former cam. paigns we know not. It is sufficient lo know that It compromises and concedes when it should, in the judgment ot many earnest men, stand firm. But while we condemn the relicency of The Trib une in.these particulars, we cheerfully bear witness toils unrivaled excellence as a newspaper and fam ily journal. To the laboring man, whose means do not admit of more than one or two papers, it presents a bird's-eye view of the moving worM of To-Day; to the agriculturist and the mechanic it is of very great worth indeed. Campbell’s Choice. Lewis D. Campbell was, on the 24ih, unanimously renominated by the Republicans of the Fourth Congressional District Ohio for a sixth term in the House of Representatives. In the course of an address to the convention, in which he announced his acceptance of the nomination, he staled that he had been assured by prominent democrats in Congress, (hat he should not be disturbed in his seal, if he would keep quiet on the Lecompton busi ness ; and after his rejection a proposition had been made to him to come over to the drmneralic parly, and they would lake care of him. To this proposition he replied by telling the gentleman who made it the fbl lowing story t “Monsieur Foix, a Frenchman who went to Jamaica to embark in business, had been sadly abused there. Ho had been robbed, whipped, put in prison, his property con fiscated, and every species of indignity and outrage offered him. On hid return to New Orleans, he told the story most pitifully to' Col. Pike, r.f Arkansas. “Why, Monsieur Foix,” said the Col., “according to your story Jamaica roust be as bad a place as (be infernal regions 1” “Ma foi”—it is worse. “Now, Monsieur, do vou really mean that?” C’esl vrai”—il is true. “Well now, Monsier Foix,” said Col. Pike, “suppose you were on your death-bed to night, and the Lord should appear to you and say you might go bank lo Jamaica or go to the iufernal regions, what would you say ?” “I vould say, Monsieur good Lord, if il beez all ze zamn In you, if it makes no dif ference at all, I should very much choose to please, to prefer much rnzer to go to h—II.” He told his democratic friend that ,f il made no difference, he should prefer the Frenchman’s choice to joining the democrat ic parly. Bound to Go it.—The Owpgo Times, of this week, has the following local incident : “On Sabbath last an incident occurred that set every longue ip the village in rapid mo lion. Marvin Day, Esq., proprietor of (he Ceniral Meal Market in ibis village, has, we suppose, been for some lime, looking with envious eyes on a fair young lady, Miss Alice S. Raynsford, oldest daughter of Ed ward Raynsford of this place, and on the day above menlioned, m.et ihe said young lady on her way to church nod politely in vited her lo take a ride in his conveyance, lo which invitation she graciously consenied and they started for Candor. Her sisier made known to the old folks at home, how matters stood, and they followed the runa ways, but as is usual in such cases, were 100 late. The knot was lied, the twain were one. The fair young bride has secured a long and rather a good looking Day, and we hope it may be all sonny. His Day is yet young, about 15, ’tis her only fault, and every Day will improve her. The newly married pair have returned to our village, and the old folks very sensibly have received them with smiles, rather than frowns, and all is now ‘as well as could be expected.’ ” The Union Safe. —Kein, the Hotspur of South Carolina, seems to have come to think heller of the Union since Grow knocked him down in Congress, last winter. A year ago he advised secession: in a recent* teller to his constituents, he writes : “As for himself, so long as he was in (he Union, he was for discharging every obli gation that devolved upon the State or the citizens of the State, Twelve months ago he advised adversely ; but now he would say, sustain Mr. Buchanan’s Administration. He went Id Washington at the beginning of the last session resolved to oppose the Ad ministration ; but when he got there he found Mr . Buchanan upon the platform of the South , It was then he determined to sus tain the President cordially and ungrudg ingly.” P eommumcat tons. ,; For the Agitator. The Slander Railed.

Editor Agitator; We are approaching the season during which political excited in- view of (ho corning election, and it is quite amusing to witness the a'tempts of Mulatto Democracy to t'reate a division in the Republican ranks, thereby hoping to pro cure the defeat of our candidates. It is laugh able to behold their childish, contradiclary arguments. Already they know their case to be hopeless beyond hope, unless they can raise their prospects at ddr expense. For instance, iheir position upon the Sher iff question is beauiifuf beyond measure.— All at once they affect a holy horror because Elliott,was defeated atjdur Convention, and are out upon the frauds'Committed there with a vengeance. The unsuccessful ones in their virgin eyes, appear the! perfect embodiment of all that is Hue and beauiiful. Theip'fer tile brains are taxed to the utmost to portray their peculiar fnness foi; ihe respective offices for which they were cajnclidales, while, upon -ihe other hand, those ih'ai'received the norAi nalions are, in their iview of the mailer, 'very good representatives or that smutty old gentleman with feet! Render, let me present one (act for your sober consideration which will clearly detect Iheir present sophistical declarations. .It is a notorious fact that J. Bailey for the. last two months has sought) (jhr the nomination of A. G.-Elliott, simply beca.use, as he said, be could whip him easier-t!han any other man, and that he could beat him by one hundred majority in their own town, which is Repub lican by over three hundred. No man has been traduced more vilely than Elliott, and those that to-day are loudest in his praise, three rfeeks since were londesi in his condemnaiion. The reason of this is plain. They hope by j this to call) off his friends to the support pf their Independent Candidate (?) ; but already their contrivance is fully detected, | Again, they are strongly opposed to Grow, thinking it a great wrong because Williston is not selected to fill hjs place in Congress. When the Congressional question is broached they never fail to extol] WtllUion’s qualifies as a legislator. They jconcede to him more than ordinary ability]as a parliamentary leader, and gratuitously place him among the first as a public; debater. But perhaps the-nexl moment, at the mention of sending him again to Harrisburg, their tune will be changed, and with tears almost in their eyes they will plead that Tfoga be no longer dis graced by the return of him who has already brought such an odium upon a deeply out raged people. Comment here is unnecessary. The plain unvarnished jlruth is enough lo con vince every one of the beanlesness flf their position. Double dealing is the game that they expect lo palm off upon an unsuspecting public. i j Full well I know that the enemies of Mr. VViHi 3 :on are irying to make capital of some local matters, Theyj' make a great noise over (he Bank questipp, and one would sup pose from their remarks that Mr. VVillijston was responsible for I dll the deficiences and loop holes in our Bajiking system.
