Taper has risen, including taxes, about twenty-five per cent., and is still rising; and when we tell our DemoOratialriends, candidly, that ire 'can no longer afford to sell the Weekly PATRIOT AND 17s1ow at one dollar a, year, and must ,add fifty cents or stop the publication, we trust they will appreciate our position, and, instead of witkdrawini their subscrip tions, go to work with a will to ihcrease our list in every county in the State. We have endeavored, 'and Shall continue our efforts, to make thipaper useful as a party organ, and welcome as a news messenger' to every fam ily. We flatter ourselves that it has not heti without some influence in prodtteing the giorlons revOlution in the politico of the'litate achieved at the late election; and if fearlessness in the'dlicharge of duty, fidelity, to the principles of the party, and an anxiirisdeeire to pro mote its interests, with some expeAence and a moderate degree of ability, can be made serviceable hereaftiti., the Weekly reran.?

'The expense to each indi vidual is trifling, the benefit to the party may he great; Believing that the Democracy of the State feel the' DOI celsityof sustaining a fearless central organ, we make , this appeal to them for assistance with .the fullest conff-' &nee of success. The same reasons wh i ch induce us to raise the price: of the Weekly, operate . in regard to the Dailypaper, the ; price' of which is'eleci increased.

Mr. ALEXANDER said that all he bad done was to remark that if the Tyrone railroad wee 'b extended to Clarion county, he would have no objeetion to vote for the relief of some taxes. The personal discussion continued further, amid confusion upon the floor. The intimation of bribery was freely thrown out, and Mr. LADAR deolared loudly that attempts had been made to bribe his colleague, Mr. JAS. R. BOI LIAII, member from Bucks. The Hall and the House were full of “borers," and he had seen members whisper and talk and argue with these "borers," and come back into their seats with changed views. These things were a gross outrage upon the rights of the honest yeomanry of the State, and resulted in the robbery of the tax payers, the orphan and the widow.
