Wo nigral to r.otico that the Democrats of Westmoreland county havo ogain a supera bundance of nominations for State Senator Tho-district is composed of Westmoreland and Fa) otto, and tho candidate seems con ceded to the formor county. Col. John Mo l'arland and John Eausold wore at the pri- wary elections candidates for Senator. In opening the canvass Mr. I'ausold insisted that in propriety llio candidates ought to obido by tiro choice of Westmoreland county, a* they woro b£M known there and the counly from which the nominoo was to come should choose the candidate. Hut Col. MoFarland stated that he intended to canvass Fayette county also. Ills antagonist remonstrated, and finally made several propositions to ro ler to \Uioo a ood disinterested Democrats the propriety ol canvassing bulb counties. Mo- Farland tofuscd to submit to any such leror nco of tho question, and stubbornly set out to electioneer in Fayette. Mr. Fausold see ing that his rival would not submit to his proposition acceded to tho determination and conduct of McFailand and foltowod him in to Fayette, while tho friends of both kopl up the contest iu Westmoreland. The dole that since the oleotion ho has become con vinced thul it is tho truo doctrine for the candidates to abide by tho decision oi that county which is to lutnish the nominee ■ and he has found some uigumouts and pre cedents in support of that idea, llut he has found none yet where a Candidate first tclu •ed to übldo by tho choice of his county, uud after driving his competitor to extend the issue over tha whole district, attempted to present himself as the tegular nominee utier his rival carried a majority iu the dis trict. We know neither of the parties in this case but speak only of the principal in volved. Tho Ebtnsburg Sentinel in speaking of this subject 6ays in good judgment : "Whou tho Return Judges mul, boiug mostly Mi MoFarland's friends, they declar ed him the regular nominee on ucouunt ol linving roctived a majority in his own coun ty, whuh would have been proper enough hud tiot Col. McFarland himtolf made tho issue sn Fayette, which iu all justice would make Mr. Fausold the nominee by a majority of at least 200. Tho Return Judges most cer tainly over-stepped their authority, and ul though we are hound to believe from the foots of the capo that Mr. Fausold is the pro per candidate, wo do liopo (hat the candi dates and their friends will umieahly arrange the existing difficulties so as to have but one Senator in tiic field, for it must be evi dent that if botli run, both will bo defeated null a Whig elected." Election in France Tbo election for Trcsidoul in France is to bo held on the second Sunday in May 1852. Tlio constitution provides lliut the I'residcut, who is cloolcd for four years, can only bo rc-elocted after a lapso of four year's ; and co Louis Napoleon cannot legally bo a can didate in 1852. Three fortha ol the mom hen of tho Logislativo Assembly must ag.eo before the constitution can ho altered to make him ciegibie; hut wo should not wonder if some law was passed by a ma jority postponing the election, arid thus ab >uidly doing undor the guise of law what the constitution specially declares shall not bo done directly. This would bo like im pairing the obligation of a contract and then saying you impair only the remedy on the contract. Or it would ho like enlarging the trio Canal by an iudirocl movement before the state of Now York tias sufficient money in the treasury to do so, wben tho constitu tion plainly and directly says such a thing ahall not be done. How Quiii U bounds, judge Coulter ot tlio Supremo Court late ly et Sunbury delivered a dissenting opin ion which iu its Domoctatio tendency sur prises and alarms tlie Wbigs who have nom inated htm as a candidate for the Supreme ■fetich. Whoa wo reflect how universally B Whig tnembtft of the Legislature vote in a solid body for the aid and cam- all corporations, and to loosen them more from tho wholesome restraints Rffib bind individuals, it must surprise | every person (o hoar such views from such ' a source. Tho reasoning in the whole ©pin | ion is able and correct, and the oxU'.zl we I give quite eloquent and sound. The ques tion was w bother the Supromo Court has jurisdiction to restrain the Pennsylvania H&ilro&d company in the cxeteisa of its power ihrough the couuiiea of the Common wealth. Judge Coulter sayo : " J may observe hore drat a corporation ; has uo existence except an aililioiat one; it | is tho cieauluro of the statue, aud as it has ; uo individual identity, uo heart to fed, or j tonscienoo to rostrum it, but is actuated by the love of gain or profit, It is fit aud proper that there should bo udoqun'.o power lodged to keep it within its sphere." ! "I, for my part, havo ho hoirci of groat | corporations. Croat must bo ac complished by great means—muans tar, very far, exceeding individual resources. Corporations are tho creuturoa of law, their limits are defined in tho law of their crea tion, and whoro tlioy are kept within those limits, they ure harmless as individuals, bo cause ihoy can do nothing but what the law allows them to do. But when there is no power which can restrain them thon they area terror to me, beceuso thny are char ioted libertines to do us they list. Like the lost"Taco of the Mastodon, which in tho or der of J'roviJdllce has coased to exist, be cause it was too powerful for man, us ho increased and overspread the earth so these companies moving by an element like the wind, uro too powerful for individuals; some of thorn are so polant, in space reaching from the east to tlia west, with many branch ing adjuncts, that by and by tlioy may havo as many arms us tho fabled gium of old, j llriaseus, and may finally clutoh the govern ment oi tho State itselt in their folds."

The sCaflold was orccted upon an emi nence, affording all a view of the tho exe cution, uud the crowd was very orderly, there being several volunteer companies aud u large force of special polico present to maintain order. The prisoners being brought out, attended by two clergymen, ascended tho scaffold wills hint slops, and looked urouud curiously upon tho crowd.

The fallowing communication from a manufacturer of Iron, who favors Mr. Walk er's rorctiuo tariff, contains the oniy argu ment in favor of an increased duly on iron, under that law, thut wo have ever seen ad vanced—namely—that the prico of iron ,is not so high now aa when tho law was pass ed, and therofore as much as.much revenue from iron as was intended is not produced.. But our correspoudeut shall speak for him self: "Messrs. Editors.—l dosiro to make somo observations on your money aiticle of 33d July, in reply to some stiictures by the "Mi nor's Journal" in regard to the tariff lam a manufacturer ol pig iron, belong to the Democratic purly, aud have When a warm I iupportor of the free trade doctrines of It- J. Walker, which I still consider e only correct theory. Theie appears, however, to be an anomaly between tho theory and tho practice of free trade. The most of those iu our business liavo failed, and many more will fail, simply because iron can bo tropor- I tod cheaper than it can be mada hoto. Aud why qjreaper I Sorno will answer, booause j the free trade doctrine is theoretically incor rect ; for how is it, tlicy sny, that wo havo coal and oro iu übundtiico all around us, und yet wo oro obliged to send to England, llirea thousand milos off, for rails to lay 1 alongside our coal and ore mines'? This is a poser. Where, then, is tho difficulty? Free trade, caetcris paribus, is the only cor roct theory. Other thi.igs not being equal the theory is false, as is abonduntly shown by the ruin it has caused to the iron interest in onr own Stale. Tho inequality is in our expanded or depreciated currency. If this could be corrected, I have no doubt but that our iron masters could compete with the English, with open ports and a froo trado. You juelly remark that "if n dollar of appreciated currency jvill buy as much as much as two dollars of doprecialcd currency, is it not apparent that we lose by infusing so much paper into our currency, und by run ning up prices without appreciating values. prevent our competition in the manufacture of commodities, tho raw material of which abounds all around us? Every million of paper addod to our currency, by increasing tho price of production, weakens our compe tition with foreign producers, without adding a dollar to ilia real wealth of tho country ; because, what we have to sell übroad is sold by tho more appreciated measure oi valuo." This is the whole matter in a nut shell. But I disagree with you in the remedy you pro pose "to give up protection, and sltiko ut the root oi tho ovil—a depreciated currency." This, I conlond, cannot bo dune, tis there is not a politician or statesman in tho country who dare risk his popularity on this curren cy question. You doubtless recollect how tho Hon. James Buchanan was vilified uud abused when, iu tho U. S. Sonale, a few years ago, ho look precisely tho ground you now occupy. The United States Government recognises no currency excepting gold and silver ; and, further, the constitution prohibit the States nom issuing " Dins or crouil: but, it bank nolos aro "bills of credit," how aro wo to " strike at tho root of the ovil," so long as a single State bank can Hood tho country with its bills of credit, in deflunco to law ? l'rosideut Jackson crushed tho U. S Bank, but can Congress crush the Slate banks'! Show mo tho man who has the nerve to make the attempt. And if he has, how would iid JuccdS'l ? They aro an ovil so in terwoven with aii tho tailless relations of life, that conturies may elapsp before tho system may bo relinquished if, then, fiCS trado and a depreciated currlWy nre incom patible, and " weakens our competition with foreign products," ought wo to adopt tho former, before wo rid ourselves ol tho latter? Shall wo go on cutting our own throats and " weakening oursolves," when wo can avoid it by a simple and effectual modilicalion of tho tariff? Walker's bill, which I favored from tho first, was intended to produce a certain amount of revenue Irom iron, and was based upon the price of the articles ut tho time the bill was (ruined, and this afforded euifrciont incidental protection for tho man ufacturer here, lint tho prico has lalleu to such an extent that many furnaces have bloppod, uud tho Government does not got the amount of rovenuu which the bill con. tern [dated. Under these circumstaices, certain poli ticians, forgetting thai even the protectionist manufacturers aro not willing to uccnpt a laritf which will produce the most revenue, are struck with a now affection for tho peo ple, ai.d insist that an increased tariff would make iron too dear for thorn, a thought thoy nover thought of tho consumer when tho price, and consequently the tariff, wcro at the higher grades uf the roveuuo tarilf.

And it came to puss, that iu those days there arose a great contention iu the valley of the Susquehanna, cottoerning the division of Columbia, into two Counties, and the strife waited hot between the contending parties—and tlioy strove together, and the noiso of their strife penetrated even unto the hill country of Schuylkill. 2. Then there arose a mnn called Charles, whose surname was Kralloy, and ho said unto his fripnds, "I will gird up my loins, and betake myself unto tho field of battle, poradventuro I may be ablo to ,restore peace aod harmony amongst those who should be united in tho Locoloco ranks." So he called his survunt unto him, and said, '-Saddlo mo the ass," and he saddled hint and he depart ed on his journey. 3. Now when oven-tide had cotnc, and ho hud grown woary with his journdy, ho betook hinwolf uule the house of a publican named Catrctson, in the tovvu ot Danville, and ho theio reposed from the fatigue ol tho day, and refreshed his tuner man with the viutago of sonny France, in company with his friends. 4. Then ono of his frionds whoso name was Ilonrio, opened his mouth, and said unto him, •'liohold, formally years llioro has been strife and discord botvvcon the citizens of "Blooin," and tho Danville, and although in *4B and 1819 wo smolo thorn hip and thigh—novortholoss, oven now they are mustering iu great force, and aro again inviting us to the combat." Aud thoso who wero with him drinking, said, "Yea, it is even so." And thoy lifted up their voices aud wept! 0. Then Charles said unto them, "Why murmur, aud weep'! llavo ye not even now a Prophet in your midst, uaruod Valoiltiuo, who is sometimes oalled "'Felly," for short, lliink you that his power hath departed, or his right hand lost its cunning V 6. Then thoy answorod aud said unto him, "The Lord forbid dial your servants should bo suclr dumb dogs us to forget 'Bol ter Best'—but know you not, that his power hath deparlod and that he is oven now as one ol us—yoa, vorily, tho iniutdo in which ho slow our enemies, now wraps the loins of ono who hath been our most bittor foe, evon 'Buckalew, of Bloom." 7. Then ho answorod and 6aid unto them, "Oh, wicked and perverse generation. You have this night boon soeking after a sign, but there shall no sign bo given to you but the sign of Valentino, tiro Prophet, and ns Valentino was raised up to tho chair of spea ker, so also must I bo elevated lo that post before I shall wug a finger in your cause." 8 Then tlicy spoko one unto another, saying, "Come lot us hasten to Valentine, and tuke counsel of him in this mallei. And ttoy said unto Charles, "lurry here, wo pray thoe, and we will hasten Unto our fiivntlo and vUIUIUUUIUttIO UUtU it llf I U fUtf J|!U position thou hast mado." And they alt de parted, leaviag him alone with the wine of France. _ 9. Now when they relurnoJ, thdy rejoiced und were exceedingly glad, and they said unto him, "This thing shall ba arranged ac cording to thy wiisli—for Valentine—yea, evon Best hath informed us that all tho Sons of Adarr. have their Fruil(y)-liee, and that ambition is the most noble of all. We, therefore, now hail theo us a champion of Montour I" <O. When it was yet early in tho morning, Charles arose, nud dopatlcd unto own place, and visited not tho lown of Bloom, for be hold his mission had been accomplished. And when bo was rested from his fatigue, ho communicated with several Wiigs throughout tho State, and asked (hem to support him for the ofHco of Speaker—but they turuod a deaf cat to bis words, and would none of his blarney, nor tho blaruoy of his friend Valonliiio, and when lie heard those things he was sore afraid. 11. Now when the day of tho Election was come, Chailos was defeated—lor Ins own parly could not trust him, and ho called Vuleutine unJ upbiaided htm in an angry manner, and said, "Tho Lord do so unto me, and more also, if 1 will not blast Mon tour from hot position as u County in tho Stale, and cause her lo bo united lo Colum bia, for tho desertion of you and your friends in tho hour of dungor." But Valentino ar gued witli him for a long limo, und called him Canal Commissioner, and Governor, and somo other neat names, until his wrath subsided, then "Felty" loturnod homo and called to liirn his Irionds to devise moans to repay Charlos for his disinterested services in tho cause of Montour. 12. Now when mid-wintor was come, thoro assembled ot Ilarrisburg several of tho rulere of theXocofoeo party, und omongst others the celobraled "Iron Grey," of Mid dleporl, oral Strange, who is euriiumod l'ul mer, uud Thomas who is the Commissioner, auJ thoy called upon Charles, the raoulli pieco of the party, and thoy solicited him lo assist in having a Bill passed, removing the County records fiorn Orwigsburg to I'otts ville, but Chailos said, "As my soul livedi, it shall not bo so—for aiu 1 not u citizen of llio former place, and if I wore to assist in Buck a foolish msasure, how could I look my fuouds and neighbors in the face?—Be sidos it would injure tho prospects of our parly in (lie next campaign, ia all llio egii cultural districts, if I were to be active in this mutter, —couso therefore importuning mo in this case, for it cannot be us you desire." 13. Thou when the "faithful" heard these words, thoy said unto him, "Let it be a* thou say est, but let us preload to compro mise life matter iu this manner : The words which you havo uttered, are tbfffcwords oi wisdom and experience, and have convinced us, that to urge tho romoval of tho County records in Juue next, would destroy ouc po litical prospects iu October. Therefore let the removal not take place until December, then the pooplo in the Agricultural and in the Coal Region will be satisfied, and the Whig members can be humbugged into tho support of our measures."—And he said "Yen, aud Amen," 10-the words of the <fcm> taitleo. And l they thou communicated this fact to lite citizens of the Coal Region, by lightning, and asked for more cash, to effect u compromise, lor, said one of their num ber, "Why should we not now rejoice, and • make merry with our frieuds, when our mis sion is ended V Now tome foolish men, who fancied they worn attending to tho interest of Pottsviiie, sent them fordiwilh the cash, and they had the failed calf slain, und thoy did eat and drink, and make merry upon tho spoils whrch had been sent. 14. Now at this time thdro Was quite a famino iu the Caul Region, in consequenco of the iniquity of tho Reading Railroad Co., who oppressed the people with enormous luxes, iu the shape of toll, and the cry of the people uroso to Heaven. Thon after praying • for redress a long time, thoy assembled to' gather iu vuiious portions of the County, * and addressed petitions to tho Legislature for relief, und many of them wore sent unto Charles, to whom was ulso sent a bill for a Charter to construct a new Railroad. Now he received uii those papers and tho friends of the new Road, who woro soul to urge its construction, with smiles, and promised to them its speedy passage, but, when thoy de parlod, he took council with thoir ouemies, and noglectod their interests, and n last, by his eupinouess and naglcct, defeated the pas sage of tho Bill. * 15. Tlion tho people woro exceedingly wroth, und they assembled together in vari ous portions of tho Cotlniy, and addressed, letters upon tho subject to him, but he laugh ed at their remonstrances, and returned for un answer, that he was busy attending to the interests of Montour County he was forced to lot his constituents take care of themselvbs. IG. Now when ilia Session was ended, Charles retained to his own house, and on deavorsd to regain his position in the affec tions of the people, but thov would none of his cou noils, and heoded not his ropronf, and he said, ''Oh, Schuylkill, Schuylkill, how oft have I gathered the faithful together, QS a shepherd gatherclli together his fleck, but now your habitations shall bo loft desolate, for aB you will not again rocoive mo, I will turn unto the Gentiles, yea, I will ovon turn unto my beloved friends in Mun'.our for af fection and llio spoils." 17. Then the citizens of Montour, hearing of (ho distress of Charles, they mot together in solemn conclave, and they resolved that they would present unto him a token of their afloction, for attending to their interests, and neglecting tho interests of llio County of Schuylkill. And somo 6aid, '-Come mid lot us present him with a jeweled watch and n chuin, which ho can use in the hour of trou hlo,torlo! will it not remind o' tho lime ho bus spont in o ir employ, and will not the links of tho chain remind him of tho golden links which have united us for so mauy months together V Others said, "Nay it shull not he so"—but let us present him with a Steed, liko unto that which Balaam rode when lis Iwimjotl Ihs Israelites, suit they all answered "Lot it he even as ye say." 18. Then immediately a subscription was I 'skon up, und each man contributed ncoord ing to his means, and when they had raised iuflicie it mono/, they sent it unto a man who lived rear Washington, in tho county of Montour, nud a steed was purchased from him for ten broad pieces of gold, und the steed was sent unto the house of the publi cait, called Garretson, to bo admired for a season, by the citizens of Denville, and thon it was sent unto Chatles, who Is sur natned l'railey. 19. Now whilst Chatles sat in the door of his tent, ut Orwigshurg, in tho month of July, he liftod up his eyes, and espied an escort of citizens, and in Iheir midst a gallant charger, and ho said, "As my aoul liveth, a noble an imal indeed !" And when thoy had drawn nigh unto him, ono of the escort liftod up his voice, and said, "Behold a present which thy friends of Montour, who admiro thy pa triotism, eloquouoe and learning, linvp Bent thee. Hera thon, talto this steed, and when danger gathers touuJ thoe, when friends for. salco, and duik despair wiaps thy noble brow, mount but this Bleed, and soou you will Icuvo all fears behind thee, and set thy fees ut deliatico." 20. Then ho auswored and said unto them "I accept this steed in tho samo spirit which it is given, and may fortune do so uhlo me, and inoie also, if I follow not your councils." Thou he invited them into his tout, and they made merry together—but 10, tho secrol his tory of Charles and the rost of tho faithful, still to bo written in tho Sd Chapter of this veritable Biography.
