r.cmplioa Law.
We invito the jtf -ntioii of our reader to the
C,y ol tiiti Exemption Law, published in this
week Paper. In regard tu thii $300,00 Law,
we have a lew ward to lay. Wa liar been talk
ing with ale num. rich one at that; and
which by the way accounts for tbeir opinion,
wlij say that l bit law if, and Juutt be, moat inju
nout to liui poor man.
Tlii-y aiiiTt that at th era it to muck property
exempt from levy and tale, thut few man can be
United, at a debt cannot be collected. Bait mm I
be given when i man rent a house or a lot. II
man cannot gtt bail he cannot ft a houte.
Therefore, ha may be mott unjuttly and heart
lej-.lv driven from a house and forced into the
utrent. Dear Gentlemen, how they pity thete
poor men ! Could not they let tli'tn have a houte
without bail ?
They further say that it tnaket men rogue be
cause it givei them a chance to evade jutt and
ho lett.debts. For at the law exempli a certain
amount of property, it of course really take the
place of the creditor .Vjw let ut examine thii
matter.
In our honorable opinion tha pretent law if
tuperior to the former. TViiil tpeeified the a
mount and kind of properly, ao that if a man had
net such certain article, all he had, probably,
would be told, becaute not particularly nfn.pt.
The promt aiolt would teem, repeal th form
er, and give to the poor man the power of thoot
ing hit three hundred dollar worth.
Thii i certainly an improvement. Thi pro
tet U him, fully, the other, only partially. It i
assuredly favorable to the poor man, and tha Leg
islature deserve their thank. The rich have
been long enough on the tale tide, and now let
. those who have alued ha brunt of the batll en
j'iy the bear St of repot.

Ilotc the Judge became an Jfl. D.
Judge D., notwithttauding hi tternnett on th
Bench liked a joke a well a any mao, and wa
withal considerable of a wag. He wat very rea
dy wilted, and while at the Bar wat notoriou for
an ofT-band.euttiDg, but apparantly carelen reply .
It wat a harJ case to beat him, for if the Law
wat not on hi tide, hit wit humor, attire and
ridieule, were weapon both of offence and de
fence. He wa a capital hand at a eonvivial mee
ting, and could alway tell the beet joke going,
and that in mott inimitable ttyl. At an annual
convivial meeting of the Bar over which Judge
R. prended both in court and at the toeial board,
the lollowing anecdote told by himlf and in hi
bappictt vein ; more than any other appeared to
"bring down the house." Turning lo a gentle
man on hit right, "Mr. W. laid he, did you
ever know that I wat an M. D. I" "I did not,
said W. let us hear of it by all mean Judge,"
Glaitet and fittt immediately went to thumping
the table as if they could' lit help it and every one
shouted vociferously for the Judge' dory."
Shortly after I received my appointment 1 wa
travelling from one county eat to another in a
sulky, as I sometime had business off of the rout
and it was more convenient for me. A I was
one day driving leisurly along from N. to R. in
rather an anfiequented part of the country, I
came to a little house on the side of the road.
Now I never thought I looked particularly likt
a Phyician, but my Ri mutt have done the bu.
inetiforme. Just a 1 passed the houte the
casement flaw up and an old lady poked out her
head calling at the lop of her voice "Doctor,"
"Doctor;" I reined up and looked round. "Are
you a "Doctor ?" taid the. I nodded an anenl
and the continued "Well my daughter it a going
to be confined or how du you call if, and I want
you to come in !" Without ayin a word I turn
ed my horw't head to the yard fence got out tied
him and went in. Nature had already nearly
completed her functioni, and there was nothing
lo do but await the issue. I had read a little
midwifery from natural cun'otity, and the child
having bean diliver-d 1 gave a little prudent ad
vite and trted. The old lady followed me to
ihedoor "asked my fee told me the had not
so much, but would certainly have it the next
time came along." After the tension wat over
Brother F. of the It th district returned in com

House. The old woman taw and recognized m.

Brother F. looked astonubed but taid nothing.
The mother intitted upon calling hereon by uiy

IIarrisbi'Ro, April?, 1849.
Gentlemen; Your letter expressing
your approbation of my judicial labors,
during (he time I had the honor of presid
ing in the courts of this judicial district,
and inviting me (o partake of a public dinner
with you, on the occation of our official
separation, before leaving llarriiburgh, has
excited in my bosom the kindliest feelings
ofour nature. Next to the satisfaction
derived from a consciousness of having dis
charged tha duties of the high judicial trust
eonfuled to me, according to the best of my
imperfect abilities, the unanimous approba
tion of a bar.so distished for learning and all
that adorns the noble profession of which
we are members, affords me the highest
gratification.,
It would give me great pleasure to meet
you at the festive board.but I have already
made arrangements for my departure,
which, I sincerely regret will not allow me
to accept of your kind invitation.
I separate from you, gentlemen, with
regret and pleasure. I feel pleased at the
prospect of returning to resido among the
friends of my earlier and more youthful
days, and regret in separating from a bar
and a community, from whom during my
residence among them I have received no
thing but uniform kindness and generos
ity. That health, prosperity and happiness
may attend you all through life, is the sin
ceie praye of
Your humble and
Obedient servant,
N. B. ELDRED.

Letter from Cen, Taylor,
Don't itart, reader it i an old one, writlen
6eort election. Read, it now and lay if he it a
second Washington :
"If I ever accept that high office it must
be untrammelled by PARTY obligations
cf any kind." ! have to enemies
to punish, or friends to reward."
ZACIIARY TAYLOR.
How has Gen. Tayler carried out the
above pledge ? Is he untrammelled by
party f Is he rewarding hia friends ? He
is certainly rewarding the whigs. We do
not complain, understand, but we should
mightily like to see one whig carry out tho
pledges he made btort the election. Per
haps we shall live long enough to see such
a man, but we confess we have little hopes
of living to such a good old age.
One Wife loo Many.
An Irishman, mamed Burko, residing at
Springfield, Mass., has been arrested for
bigamy. Twenty-six years ago, he mar
ricd, and lived with his wife ten years,and
had a number of children. He then came
to this country, and many years passing
without his hearing from his family he
married again. Soon after he heard from
his first wife, and sent her money to come
over, which sheclid, and lived in his Amer
ican family as the widow of his deceased
brother. The women having quarrelled,
Burke took sides with his first wife, and
removed with her to new quarters. Hence
the cat was let out of the bag, and poor
burke placed with in the meshes of thelaw
wich he may not so easily get out of. It
is a bad business fur a man to be bothered
with more than one woman at a time. The
sultan of the barn yard may scratch for a
dozen hens, but a man will be surely hen
pecked and scratched to if he is gallant to
more than one woman.
Canal Commissioner.
Col. Charles Frailey, is announced in
the Fottivillt Emporium, as a candidate
for Canal Commissioner, before the Dem
ocratic State Convention which is to ass
emble at Pittsburg on the 4th of July next.
Col. Frailey is a practical business man,
considerably f xprrienced in public affairs,
and would make a most cxrcllunt Canal
Commissioner.

Liberties. W were vattly in debt and our

to pay any taxe.
We were weak. Only about three million of
People in all thi great country. Dittracted
by a war destructive in the extreme. Overrun
by factiou diaconent. acoundrel and Tories.
Having much to contend against in the formation
of a new and unique and vubstantial form nf Gov

landing all these diadvsmtage, a nirit nf com-

0 We wonder if it would not be very edify
ing to General Taylor, to read over hi old cam
paigning letter f He certainly muit have for
gotten that he ever wrote many of the things
which appeared over his tignature. Ia fact we
very much doubt, whether he i really the au
Iher. It would doubtleit he a amusing to Mr. Pre
mier Clayton, a it would be edifying to his chief.
However it is of little consequence, because Tay
lor, think hi opinions of little conequence,
even if he were President of the United State.
Thit opinion, we think General Taylor still
ar.teriains, lor he appears to be letting things go
on about at they plea.e at Washington. Hia oth-

with quite a repeciablo minority vote, and we

Removal of John Mleatly, Esq.
The guillotine is still at work ? This
administration, which had 'no- enemies to
punish and no friends to rward,' seems
determined to dismiss every Democrat
from office, and appoint "ultra whigs" in
their places. Very well we like to see
it! The people can judge of the sincerty
of the federal leaders, before the election
when they asserted that under Gen, Tsj
tor's administration "proscription would be
proscribed." In yesterday's Post, the
telegraph announced that Joh.s Keatly
Esq., has buen removed from the office of
Marshal of the Western District of Penn
sylvania, and certain Mr. Irvin, of Clear
field county, appointed in his place, We
venture to affirm that not a single charge
was preferred against Mr.Keatly's integr-.
ity, honosty, capability, or faithfulness to
the Constitution : but we have no doubt
that his Democracy was esteemed a fair
and legitimate ground for removal, in the,
J Utsburg Morning fott.
