The Wayof the Transgressor is Bards ■ About fourteen.ye»r? , ngo,,a young m'an Ti om (he United Stales, by the name of Gar diner, weiit-io Mexico as a traveling dentist. He was pleasing in ibis and made ■friends and rridney whatever -ho- wenlt ' The war which broke out between Mexico and the ‘United States, I suppose interrupted his busi ness, as it did. ; als.o the farming and mining 'operations.of 'a tiumber'of Americans, Who • ■were obliged ;td abandon their farms and .minds'at a great Sacrifice of property. ‘When the war was closed, Congress pu,t .aside three millions, of dollars to .pay these men,for- tfyeir loaves, and a committee was' I'otmed to decide upon their claims’, and pay them their just dues. .Among these claim ants, Gardiner appeared, who came to Wash ington, and set up a claim for nearly half, a million of this money, for the loss of a silver mine which he said he owned ip Mexico.— lie brought a great budget of papers to prove his.claims, and engaged able lawyers lo.man age the business. After examining his proofs, .thijy 'said it was all iTigh'i and, he was paid §120,000, Gardiner Ayas now a very rich man j .he was young and handsome, and a •gt'eal many,-1 dare say, envied his good for tune. After dashing about in Washington and,New York, leading a life of gaiety and f i-hion, he went (o Europe, to enjoy all that was to be enjoyed on the other spde of the water. Everything, seemed prosperous and well wiih him, find his rise front'd poor boy to a rich man, was thought to be very won derful. All the papers relating to the Mexican claims, had to be filed and pul away for safe keeping in the State Department, and while Gardiner was in Europe, it fell into ihe hand-, of a newly appointed Secretary, the Hon. Mr. Davis, ro do this work This gentle man, it happened, had lived fifteen years in Mexico. While examining Gardiner’s pa pers about his silver mine, in order to fiile (hem, he, was extremely puzzled. ‘ Why,'’ said he, “1 have lived for years at San Luts, tthVre this silver mine is said to be situated, 'and ihnfe is no such mine there ! Here is a cheat 1” and perhaps, there was no man in the United States so well acquainted with that locality, and, of course, so able to expose the cheat, if,there were one. Thus God, by his p’rovidnpce, unravels the designs of wick ed men. VBut able lawyers had examined the matter, and pronounced it all right ; the mon ey had been paid out and all the country knew about it—could be dare rise up and call it all a cheat I !—“Yes,” said Davis, firm ly, “I do dare ; there is no such mine as Gar diner lays claim to, and Government has been defrauded out of this great sum of mon ey by a lip.” - . Ha wrote to the Attorney General, whose business'it is to look into'such things, but no notice was taken of his letter. He then pub lished his views in a "newspapers, which Pres idem Fillmore saw, and he immediately seat for Davis to ask what he meant. Mr Davis stated his suspicions, and before all the Cab inet, persisted in his declaration. “There is no such mine,” he said. The President im "mediately Sent five gentlemen to Mexico to explore the country, and examine and ferret out the truth. They came back, and said fDavis was in the right. And now, how do you suppose Gardiner felt? for he got back from Europe, and a writ of prosecution was out against him. O, he made quite light of it, for he had powerful friends who had the utmost confidence in his integrity, and money pnough to employ the ablest counsel, in his behalf; and sure the first-Trial' acquitted. him. Bui those who IttTewwhere the truth lay, determined never "fo give up. Another delegation was sent to "Mexico, and these confirmed what iHo oihers ‘had said, and brought home fresh evidence against him. The case was in the''courts ,more lhafilihfee years; and, at last 'drew id n final close.' , There must have been a terri ble burden on his heart, although he kept up a good appearance, laughed and talked, and appeared in the street as usual ; and, besides, he was on the point of marrying a beautiful lady in Georgetown. At last, the case was given to the jury ahd his friends awaited with anxiety and im patience for their verdict. After twenty-three hours it came— Guiltp. O what a change of hopes and prospects. He was immediate, ly taken into custody, and the next day was led out to receive his sentence —ten pears in (he State Prison. It was an awful and sol emn hour. Clad in a felon’s dre.-s, he was carried to his solitary cell. But no sooner had he entered it, than he fell to the floor in the agonies of, death. Uuable to meet his ignominious fate, if the case went against him, he had provided poison beforehand, Which he had taken, and thus murdered him suicide to forgery, and leaving an impressive confirmation of the Scripting-, "the icay of the transgressor is hard.— “Though hand joined in hand, the wicked shall not go unpunished.” “He that pur suelh evil pursueth it to his own death.” IJow il ruins a man 10 make a President of him ! A Pew years ngo, Fames Buchanan, Esq., of Lancaster, discontinued the Lewis burg Chronicle, very politely—paid up for Ft tike a man—wished it much successs.—and did the fair thing all around.

So true it is that success hardens the heart. —Lewisburg Chronicle, ' At New Britain, Conn., on Wednesday, Frederick Wealover, son of Amos Westover, was playing with an, old gun barrel, and after touching it off the third lime with a slow match, ran about twenty feet, when the bar rel burst, and a small thin piece about the weight'of a cent, struck him on "tlie side, over the heart, going through his cldihes and just breaking the skin.'

It mint be rather ajdcasant episode in the cxpe» ricnce of the slave, when, as sometimes happens, he walk* from the auction block into the possession of the mm who had tingled him out from the miss of chattels, and who, on his part, had singled out that very man from the crowd of purchasers as the man into whose possession he desired to pass. A mutual attraction often leads to pleasant results; more especially docs it so result, when, as in an in stance just transpired in the political market-place, the interests of both parlies are made dependent up on mutual concession. We hope the adni.rers of Mr. Stephen A. Douglas will bear with ns while wc exhibit his public acts in ihe light which shall conceal neither defect nor excellence winch severally disfignre and adorn his political record. Our object is, not to malic that dis tinguished man appear worse than ho really is, but to qiakc him just what he appears Id be on the rec ord. With his record fairly and fully before an in telligenl Northern public he can bedefculcd in iB6O. To that work the free presses of the couutry should devote their inflacnjQQ'flnd.cncrgie?. . We hive shown lM Douglas, in afjhuraan prob ability* will lead llie- modern Democracy in the con test in I 860; and that (he South must! accept him, nolens volens. Hot that the South prefers him be fore all other men ,for that post, but because expedi ency points to him as the only man with wham.the only chance of, victory rests. Since lost week new evidence of that mutual attraction and undisguised preference* each for the other, has cqmc lo hand. The Oligarchs put out a feeler Douglas-word and Douglas extends a feeler South-ward; and these u feelers” will meet and twine themselves into an indissoluble bond of union and brotherhood before (he Charleston Convention sits. We find iu a Philadelphia Democratic paper the following summary of Douglas's political creed, as published in an ultra pro slavery paper called The Richmond South. The latter sums up the political virtues of Mr. Douglas thus ; 1. Judge Douglas affirms the original and essen tial inferiority of ihe Negro. 2. He denies that ihe.-Ncgrawa* intended-to be embraced within Uie abstractions of the Declara tion of Independence* and asseftt that the. right to II IE tiO.Cr.A,, COUjif-lfY AGITATOfe j — ll .* "i' "; ~—r* freedom and equity was ] predicated onlyT,cs“ the dominant race of white men, 3, He deniea'the privileges ofcilizensliiprfo the Negro. t •. \ 4/ _He affirms the compatibility of a confederacy oT'free and Slave Stated and thVpossibilily - of iffeir -harmoaiouS'-co-cxUlence-under-a-oommoQ Goostitu* lion ’ s;' He^affirms lh&' absolute, Mvej’ffigjnty' of the * States, in respect to their domestic institutions, and denies the authority of the Federal Government to discriminate against the interests of Slavery. • ’6.- He irfculcVles a policy of nori-Mfervbntion us' between-the-Tree-ond slaveheUingStates,-as well as between thc.ljltcr and ilje Federal Qqvprnjnent. . r 1 ; 7. tie supports the decislqn of (he Supreme fcourt, and asserts for Slavery the right of cotoniza. lionin-ihe Territories - - - - 8.

' ’ • This, bear in mind, is a view Ukcn of Ihe posi tion of Judge Douglas by a Southern democrat—a •tendering of his political faith in’ the tentacular of bis own parly—and not the view of a’ “ Black Re publican,” nor the estimate of a Republican paper. Wo consider it a correct estimate of the man, how ever. Wo have a small pamphlet digest of the points discussed by Lincoln and Douglas which ful ly sustains the view of the Richmond South. — Ho affirms all that he is charged with affirming in the foregoing summary and plants himself firmly i and unreservedly on the platform of Southern rights —as distinguished from the rights of. lhe people un der the Declaration of Independence.. It is worth while to note the character of each of the above ar ticles ol faith, which, taken together, constitute the .test of modern democratic orthodoxy for 18G0, witli .out doubt: It is a significant fact, and one to which we desire to direct the reader's attention, that, with the exception of the lOih and lUh articles, there is a direct allusion to the Negro in every one! These articles being the programme ot the Democratic parly for the campaign of 1860, it can now be seen what party thrusts “ the nigger question” into the canvass. Let ibis be remembered by all Republicans. But examine the Glli article—observe the section al narrowness of the policy of “non-intervention” as there bounded and defined. iVis proposed to pro (cct.thc States from the rapacity of the free Slates, but, not content with this protection, it proceeds to declare the absolute independence of the Slavc Sldtcs—their perfect feeedom and immunity from any intervention on the part of the General Government. True, this is bot a short re-declaration of the doctrines of the NulUficrs; built' is rather significant just lit this time; for; observe, it does not propose to grant this freedom from Federal inter i vention to any 6 tit ihe Slave States I Remember, these are the days of latitudinous construction of both Constitutions and Platforms, and that the ob vious meaning of a declaration to day, may be dis carded for the less obvious, to-morrow. It may be wise to look at all propositions emanating from the South in every light of possible construction, and thus prepare for the very worst. - Will Douglas endorse this programme'? He has already endorsed it. . Bot bad be not endorsed it in detail; his unflinching advocacy bf the Dred Scott Decision covers the whole ground in dispute. No ■Star Chamber of Tyranny, ever decreed so great an infamy as the Decision in the Dred Scott. We arc .aware that a lew men deny that Slavery is made pnlversal, under the Constitution, by that Decision; .such men have read the several decisions in that Case to little profit, else they falsify their under standing. The fact exists therein in direct terms; it was boldly recognized and eagerly endorsed by Mr. Buchanan in his Lecompton Message; and was so Intended and is so understood by the magnates of the Negro-breeding parly. What need of argument to prove what is as obvious as the nose on one's face? Such is Stephen A. Douglas, and such is tiia plat form on which ho has climbed in order to make him self acceptable to ihc South. Il is presumed by his Northern adherents that the Northern masses are ready to gulp down Douglas as the voters of Berks 'county swallowed James Buchanan in 1856—with, 'out winking. We predict that the Northern masses will not do anything of tile kind—if tire Republican Press do its plain duty. “Join ypursclvcs to the Democracy!” is the fer vent exhortarlion of our Taokhannock eolemporary to “ The Young Men.” Among other notable rea sons why young men should elrailway enlist in the democratic army is this : The Democratic parly is the oldest and the strongest parly in-lhc Republic- The Democratic party, then, must he henceforth ranked with its kindred spirits, brandy, rum and wine—all of which are valued in measure of their age and strength. We cite our cotemporary to that portion of the Scripture where the practice of put ting new wine into old bottles is reprehended. Il is no recommend of a religion or of a political parly to say “it is venerable, it is powerfulsince it happens that Paganism ,s ancient and Tyranny powerful. If young men desire to wed a grizzled Babylonish Cyprian ; if they desire to enter the ser vice of a mistress whoso delight it will be' to dc. grade them to licrow-n mean level; if they desire 'ln beomo party to the destruction of the liberties of the country—by all means let them make haste to join themselves to the Democracy. It lias age—it is hoary with sin—it is old enough to be decern, re speclable. Unfortunately, age adds to its crimes rather than to its wisdom and respectability. Our advice, to young men Is, enlist in the service of Free dom and Equality—thus securing to yourselves a conscience void of offence and a record wiiicti shall nbl bring a blush to the cheeks ol those that come ailer you.

Three Persons Drowned. —On Sunday afternoon last, a boat containing three qolored persons, Henry Carter, of this place, Henry Johnson, formely of B.inghamlon, and RicA ard Williams, of Elmira, .was drawn over the dam at this place, and all were drowned. The parly were in a small boat, rowing across the river, just above the dam, which, when the water is low, is a place of safety, but the present rise in the river makes the current .strong and rapid. It is supposed that tb,ey were carelessly allowing the boat to approach too near the edge of the dam, supposing that they could easily overcome the current. — The boat plunged stern first down the apron of the dam, breaking it, and, precipitating the occupants in the rough water; they were short distance below, where they obtained a temporary foothold upon a bar, but were born away before help could reach them, and all found a watery.grave. Young Carter was a son of John Carter of this place, an industrious and well-behaved young man, and generally respected by out citizens.
