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

The Republicans of Susquchana county have
nominated Hon. G. A. Grow for Congress, Judge

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. Ven
geance U ours : Henceforth all puppydom shall
yelp at your heels- You shall turn lo the right and
an unwashed bur shall confront you; to the left and

We shall reverse the order of oar text: First,
the People, then individuals. 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*

eat men. Wrong never sleeps. The lips of False
hood are never sealed. 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

Political Consistency.
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
