Charles soon made his wife acquainted with himself and •his affairs, and she was. not it all displeased to find that chance had thrown in her way a husband full her equal in every respect. His fortune was quite as large ns her own, and his family connections of the first standing.

Why of course not ; and other things equally culpable can be charged upon the present officers of the mint. Peculators have been discovered, and upon their making restitution have had their wages paid in full and discharged without punish ment. :Does the Ledger presume that Col. SNOWDEN is a modern Brutus, that he should condemn his own kin? .`low would it sound in the family circle if Negus had been seiz ed as thief and sent to the Penitentiary!-- flow would it have shamed a long fine of Directors who have held office in the Mint by a tenure as degarding as some of British titles are—that of fawning'on power and playing the sycophant to public posi tion.

We sincerely trust a time is rapidly approaching when this en tire flock of carrion birds will be driven from their prey.-Philad. Sun. The Unholy Combination, We stated in a former article that the suc cess of the Democratic party at the lust Presidential election, was the result of an unholy combination between. President Pierce, Mr. Buchanan, and the High Priests of Romanism, by which the Catho lic church was to have a representation in the Cabinet in consideration cf giving their support to Gen. Pierce. Since then, Mr. John A. Parker, a Democrat of Virginia,re contly removed from office at Washington, has been "telling tales out school," one of which is the folCowin ,, clkct "Mr. Patter has b een as for many years a warm friend of Mr. Buchanan. Seine time ago, he remonstrated with Mr. Campbell, the Postmater Ucnetal, fur having a ppoint ed'so few friends of 1 1r.

This Camp bell denied, and asserted thittto'an arrange ment had been made between himsey and Gen. Pieri7e before his election, by virtue of which he was to secure for Gen. Pierce the Catholic vole of Pennsylvania, and re ceive therefor a seal in tbe Cabinet !" This statement of Campbell Mr. Parker declares himself seady to confirm by his af fidavit, if it'be disputed in any particular. A Mrs . ' . raw EXPLAINED.—The unfortu nate Allison and his wife,who were recent ly killed by art infernal machine, at Cin cinnati, stated, in their dying moments that they suspected William P. Connelly, of Philadelphia, to hare,heen their Murderer. It was soon afterwaids discovered, however, that the guilty person is a student, known us Dr. Arrison, who effected his escape from Cincinnati, and has not yet been arrested. The following paragraph, copied from the Cincinnati Gozate,.disclose the reasons why the Allisons suspected Connelly: "Mayor .Snellhaker received a letter yes terday from William P. Connelly, of Phila delphia, explaining his intimacy, with the Allisons, and deeply lamenting, that they should have susOt:cted him of sending to them the box containing the bombshell. Mr. C. coufesses that in . limner years ho had been guilty of certain burglaries, of which Allison and his wife and others were cogni zant; that-when in tho chy.a few weeks since, Allison requested Conntlly to make him a present of a handsome 'watch, us he needed one in' the hospital. When Connel ly returned to Nev York he sent the watch to Allison. The latter then addressed a letter .to Connelly requesting him to send a present to Mrs, Allison, which Connelly neglectel doing. Connelly is of the opinion that when the Alliions received the box they supposed it to contain the present front hint to Mrs. A:, and the explosion led them to believe that Connelly sent it, fearing they Might inform him and that he took this method 'to get clear ut hent." lac f,e4igl) Register.

DANIEL M. SMYSER, Of Montgomery County. The Agricultural Fair In the Register of July .51h, we endeavored to say something by way of inducing our me chanics to contribute or present articles in their respective lines of business, to the ensuing Agriculture' Fair—also with a promise soon to say a word )o the ladies of Lehigh county to do liktswise—which we shall endeavor to do as plainly and concisely as possible. It was very frequently remarked during the continuance of the last lair, and Alice then, that the most interesting and attractive part of the . exhibition was the ladies department, yet every one most admit, that it by no means pre. rented, what it might have done, had proper exertions been made, or the ofj•ct and pur pose of the Fair thoroughly - comprehended.— Tco frequently was the remark made. 'Oa if if I had known that such articles could be of fered, I have them at home' and no doubt many persons were annoyed, that they had been so careless, or had not received proper informa tion, as to what really constituted an Agricul. rural Fair. The experience already had, may be of ser vice to those who were in attendance, but there may be many, not then present, who intend being so, on the next occasion. To that class we more particularly direct our remarks, yet earnestly urge all to do their duty. The list of premiums, contains many articles, exclusively the work of ladies, of which many samples will no doubt be produced, but many more, there are, which are not mentioned, the pres entation of which would be highly conducive to the interes, of the society and which the committee of arrangements confidently expect to find on the ground. It was impossible .to name everything, yet they invite "productions in every branch of useful industry"—ornamental also; promising "premiums or diplomas to every article of mer it." Articles may he exhibited , as ol jects of interest or ciriosity merely ; without a pre. mium. In the list itself, attention seems to have been paid particularly to useful articles ; such as car. pets, blankets, yarn, thread, linen, quilts; &c. All these articles, come within the prey. I ince of every farmer's wife and daughter in the country, and we expect to sea a vast variety on hand.' For this purpose, the fair, is speci- 1 ally intended, so that all may learn something from those who present them, either as to the mode of manufacture, i.'9auty of style and finish or utility in household affairs. The present is the season to prnpare such articles, it the long winter evenings were suf fered to pass without taking advantage of them to do so, and it is so to be hoped, that the mat ter may be delayed no longer. The premiums i offered on butter, cheese, honey, ham, &e., &e., are sufficient to induce our farmers to have the best article that can be manufactured.— inasmuch as it is the staple „product-of our country, deserves particular attention. To receive the premium for the best roll or keg of butter, and thus establish the reputation of tier dairy, should be the ambition of every farmer's wile or daughter'. The ability to exhibit the best loaf of bread, tall of butter, cheese, prer serves, pickle, dried hulk., &e., is far more l eiediiiihie to any , woman, than the ability to ; execute a piece of fancy needle-work—to sing, , or play on u piano—with no more ifnowledge fur the tot mtg . , than is inquired' to eat them. The tint are necessaries, without which life would lose its charrns,—the• second are hke ries, with which ii is easy to dispense. We do not wish to be understood as condemning the • latter by any : means, bin we prefer the useful to the ornamental, where both do not exist in the same person. l'is not every lady, who has the opportnni ty afforded her, of learning the" more useful branches of housewifery, of a course for them remains the other branch. We hope to see a large display of articles generally termed fabcy, for even amongst such are frequently found specimens of exquisite taste and skill. At the last fair, although the number of articles was quite liruited yet all were universally admired and we leel well assured, that the ladies who so kindly. .lurnished them, wilrnot wttlfhold tthers still more beautiful.. In order therefore, to afford all an opportunity to compete, it is desirable that but one article of any given kind should be offered. This will cause a more general distribUtipn of premiums and also bring upon the ground a variety of fancy goods. We trust this part of the exhibition will not be con fined to ono or two towns, but that the ladies generally, iltroughout the county will not only grace the fair by their presence, but by acttral aid, in presenting something of their own man ufacture. Bitten' by a Mud Dog.—On Monday morning last, a mad dog made his appearance in that part of our Borough known as Germantown," and before he could be captured bit a number of persons. We aro told that the dog belong ed to Francis Mayonko, a Prussian, who.lives in that part of the town, and that his' wife and two children are arming the unfortunate per sons bitten by the dog. Among those bitten we understand are also twe'cliildreq,of Itcbt. E. Noll ; Philip Bower and a Mrs.Tolan. Easton Sentinel. Sale of the Wain Line Defeated: A second time has the sale of the main line of the public works beec defeated. The lime appointed for opening the bids under the Act of the last Legislature, the first of July, is passed, and it is announced that no bids were made for the main line. It will be remember ed that the Act fixed the sum of ten millions as the minimum price, and that no sale was au thorize for a less sum. We are not disappointed at the result, deep ly as we regret it. The separation of the State from the system of internal improvements, if ..ve are not greatly ignorant of public sentiment, has been looked forward to with the'deepest interest by the people. All over the State res olutions favorable to a sale, were adopted pri, or to the last election, by meetings without dis tinction of party. In Bucks, Lehigh and West moreland, the Democratic party adopted reso lutions expressing their sentiments in favor of a sale in the most unequivocal • terms. In Chester county, the Whig party, and a large number of dernccrats disgusted with misrule, corruption and extravagance on the public works, have 'professed the most earnest desire to dispose of the works-for any reason• able price. The defeat of this great measure, will be deeply deph3red by the. Tax Payers of the Sate. It perpetuates the old system which has dragged the S:ate into fiain;ial embarrass• mer.t and established a body of paid officials, who control the Legislu ion of the State and cat out the substance of the people. It cuts off all hope of the payment of the public debt, and the liquidation of Taxes which weigh down the hardy producer. It retards the ,progress of every branch of industry, and our growth in pop ulation and wealth, by abstracting two millions of dollars annually from trade, manufactures, in order to pay the interest upon the public debt. Without this enormous annual drain up. on the prosperity of the State, Pennsylvania would rapidly rise in the scale of National wealth. But so long as this exhausting process I goes forward, our state wdl be crippled in its resources ; and retarded in its career to great. ness What was. the cause of this failure? Was the price fixed in the Act too high? Was there no prospect oLbusiness to invite purchaser:?— We believe that either was the case. The price, ten millions, was deemed a fair and lib eral one; and the amount of business to be done, absolutely incalculable. All the immense commerce between the East and Wee', to an enterprising company which might be able to manage Its operations with speed and econ omy, was within its grasp. Every temptation therefore, was held out to induce capitalists to inve'st their money. And the times too were propitious. The real cause.of the defeat of the sale, was the inherent and essential principles of the act authorizing a sale. That Act, while it provi ded for a tale, as'the; result has proved, con tained provisions calculated and designed to defeat it. These provisions it is needless to say, was inserted by the enemies of a sale.— The administration was known not to be in fa vor of a sale; and having a verS , large majori ity to its friends in the House of Represeuta , lives, that body afraid to meet the issue di rectly and vote it down, determined to destroy the sale by. indirect means. They therefore moulded the bill so that it would be inopera. OM The friends of the sale being entirely..at die mercy of its , enemies, were compelled to take such a bill as they could get, or adjourn without passing one. Had they adopted the lat ter alternative, they would have been charged with insincerity. They were compelled there. fore to vote for the bill, in such shape as its ene mies would permit. A powerful effort was made to defeat a sale, by fixing the price al filteeu millions ; this failing, the next plan was to ac complish the same tiring by restricting the charge on Insight and passengers, so that they would nut be remunerative. The result of! these efforts to defeat a sale is now before the people ; and there is great iej 'icing, among the eflice holders: It remains now to determine I what shall be done. Shall the public works be sold, or shall die -project be abandoned. it is for the people to answer the vestion. If they, are in laver of a sale they must say so at the Ballot Box, in 1./debut next. If they are hos tile to it; let them speak at the Ballot Box.— ; Believing as we do, that the true interests of 'the Commonwealth demand a sale, We shall I do all that is in our power to promote it. All hopes of honest management and pecuniary profit, have departed forever. They are vain and illusory. But this is a free country—where 1 the majority govern ; and if that majority are hostile to a sale—il they still have confidence in State management and are willing to go on I increasing the public debt, we shall pay our . taxes with as much philosophy a.l possible, and submit like good republicans. II Chester coon ty is opposed to Seale, or ha's not had sufficient experience in managing canals and rail-roads: let her re-elect men 'to the Legislature, who will vote against selling the leant litie at ten millions.' If other portioua of the State, which I know less about the management of the works arid which pay comparatively hew taxes, shall ! do likewise, Chester county cannot complain.; The opinion of a county, that pays into the Stare Treasury nearly a hundred thousand dol lars of Taxes annually, will have immense weight not only with the Legislature but with ; the People'. The .issue must be decided at the Ballot Box. It must, and we doubt not, will be taken into consideration in the set:Mimi 01 candidate's, ter the Legislature, Canal Corn- . missioner and Governor. Anothe'r chance for a sate yet remains. But the result rests entirely with the People. Be. tore all hope for a sale is abandoned; ooe :core resolute, energetic effort should be made. The Act of Asirembly provides that bids may be Made for the purchase of the Main line—which uids ehafl be considered by the next Legiala.. tore. Thus the subject - will come up directly before that body next winter. Whether the Telegraph Election. bids be accepted or not depends upon the Gov- t A t the annual meteing of the Stockholders of the ernor and the iepreseniatives the Peopfia send to above Co., held at their office in Enstomon Tues.

We are aware that it is always difficult to I get men to vote against their parts'; and we doubt not, that by party tactics, many friends of a sale will be found voting with its bitter en emies. But is this reasonable or patriotic ? Where a party will not put itself right upon a groat question like that which involves State Taxation and State Debt, how can it appeal to the Tax Payers and ask their support? Neu" trality or nomeommittalisin, should not be tel. , erased.

Last Sunday the num. ber of visitors exceeded any thing of the kind, we ever saw, being variously estimated from one to two thousand. It is believed that at one time some five hundred vehicles and horses have been tied up in the woods. The practice of viiiting this delightful place is getting more into vogue from year to year. The view from the Rock will carry you a distance of at least twenty miles around, and over a section of country that stands preeminent fur agricultural richness and beauty. We are much pleased to hear, dial no accident of any kind has happened. Yet, 'is was very evident that something stronger than what evul ges front the clear springs of the mountain was on the ground. Fatal Accident On the 4th of July, a young man, formerly of this place, named Quintus Rot/t, SOll of the late Daniel Roth, met with an accident that cost his life the following day.

Punk Rebellion in lb Locotoco Comp The appointment. of 'John McKeon as District Attorney cif New York, has created open rebel.; lion in the locofoco,ranks, Even Tammany Hall rejects him, and at a meeting of the Democratic Republican Genet i al COmmlitee, held in that old Wigwam on Tuesday, a preamlile reciting all his former defections, wad ddolited, with the fol lowing resolution : Resolved, That we deeply deplore the apPointlw ment of John McKeon to the office of United States Attorney for the Southern District of Nevi Yoi lc, believing that it equally outrages the core nections of the Democratic Republican Party in all its existing differences; and contributes seri ously to impair the confiden6e fieiettafore rep bed in the President and the Adtitinisteatiofi. The True Democrat, the Administration organ in New York walks in McKeon on anothei teach; and before his confirmation, said : We hope it is not true that the President has sent in the Hon. Jobn McKeon's name for the of• floe of District Attorney. For the President sake, we hope the rumor is wholly unfounded,: Should the President have been unfortunate enough to make such a mistake, we trust that t here are sensible representatives le() yei io tht' Senate, who will not thus permit Bishop Hughey to insult the country by so bold a display of his poltncal irllucnce We know President Pierce to be a man of sound iniegrity. We know him to be eminently patriotic in all his determinations. But he is. surrounded by some of the most desperate politi.. cia I gamesters in the world. The Catholic Church, too with its vast, wide,srreall, deep and potent, ambition, has its emissaries at-Washington, 'who: lose no opportunity to labor for the introduction in to power and place, of their Jesuitical acolytes. And yet we hope that the Chief Magistrate 4)4 our country has not allowed such men, with sucl% motives, to overrule his own good seng and cor. reel judgement. - The appointment of Mr. McKeon would be a. death blow, in this city, to the triumph of Demo. cratte principles. We have frf,htnen and Catho.. tics now in public office, far surpassing in num. ber the demands of justice, and the best inter', csts of our country. The Demoeratic party is ac. cused of being the instrument of this nattonat wrong. The appointment of Mr. McKeon would seem to endorse this accusation as a truth, and the result, would be a general repudiation on the part of our own countrymen, of every llemucrat,, is nomination. We have no desire to witness such an aliens, lion frem our ranks of its best and purest etc. met t. We have nu wish to see the Dem'ocrar, is r an ) , stand up a confessed band of aliens, and opposed to the honest ambition and just rights of our native_burn citizens. We have no, wish to see Federalism and Abolitionism, under the name of Whigs. taking advantage of our misplaced gencrosity,•absorbing from us every American impulse, and carefully converting them to its own use for our . destruction. Yet, this is just what we shall see, just what we must expect, if such persons as Mr. McKeon be perterred to the able and ready Protestants and true Americans some one of whom has a right to expect the noun.. tenance of the Executive. flt• It'is all very well to make speeches, and get up public documents denouncing the deep laid opposition that may be traced in the popular feeling. to 'foreign influence.' lint the American, principle is triumphing all over the country.
