The tiick of tho ljothagogue.
(JovKUNon JOHNSTON has issued bin pro
clamation declaring how much of tho state
debt lifts been paid off under his rcgimo.
Tho document comes with flaming capitals
aAd over the great seal of the Common
wealth, The act ol 1849, which was con.
coctcd by Governor Johnston, has fixed tho
diiigg so that this proclamation shall make
its appearance just six ivecks before tho o
lectioo, and shall como from tho Governor,
instead of emanating as such document na
•tarally should from the finaneial officers of
the state, at tho end of the fiscal year. It
comes to the people instead of going to tho
legislature as other such documents do. The
Auditor General and State Treasurer mako
annual reports of tho elate finances, and
why should not they include in such re
poits the subject of llio sinking fund ? They
nro by tho statute Commissioners of ibis
'fund, and Connor's proclamation is
l imply based upon what the Commissioners
of the Sinking Fund repoit to him thai the
people have done. The amount of stato
debt paid depends just upon tho piomptncss
with which tho citizens pay their taxes and
vthe amount of such taxes laid. The legis
lature lay these taxes, the Auditor General
keeps account of them and tho State Treas
urer receives and disburses them. These
departments of the Government aro Demo
cratie, and every attempt of Governor John
ston to make political capital for himself out
of this tratisation is simply the trick of a
demagogue. .

THE TICKET.
Our readers will 110 doubt wonder how
the ticket of last week will bo rccaived in
oilier perls of the county and district. .The
Berwick Telegraph in speaking of it says—
''lN another column will bo found the
names ol tbo persons nominuted as tho can
didates for county cilices and also tho Hep
resentative for tho district. Wo feel great
canto for rejoicing in the judicious selection
ol and the union and harmony
manifested in the Democratic party, by pla
cing in nomination unanimously, a candi
date, without particular regard to local ques
tion. It is refreshing to think that demo
cralscan fuirly meet tho political onemy,
and we think that a bettersolection than 11.
E. JACKSON Esq., could not have been made
for the purposo of uniting and cementing
the party. He is well known in tho district
arid sustains a reputation that will entitle him
to the confidence of all.
The ticket is strong and will be elected
without n single exception. Ii is not known
when the Judicial conferees will meet, but
we leel nsured that when they do, they
will do their duty, and if they mako a good
selection, wo w ill haro as strong a ticket

nr "HAWKH'S MAGAZINE," for Sept, pre
from? a table of contents equally attractive,
to say tlto leaST} with that of any protons
number. The publishers evidently rely for
tho chief interest of their magazine on the
excellence and variety of its selections from
tho loss e/aboratn portions of current Eng
lish literature, including roccrt popular
works, as well ns the latest reviews aud
magazines. In this department, they ex
hibit no small degree of tact and a shrewd
knowledge of tho demands of public taste.
Such articles as tho "Memories of Mexico,"
"I'oullailor tho Rubber," "Shots in the Jun
gle," "Autobiography of a Sensitive Spirit,"
and, indeed, as lite selections in this num
ber generally, aro always agreeable reading
with every class, and ntako tho magazine a
pleasant companion for a leisure hour. In
addition to these, the original papers aro of
Bitcommon interest and value. "Tho Youth
of Napoleon," by J. S. C. Abbott, cannot
fail to be read with gratification, even by
those who aro most familiar with tho career
ol the self-crowned Kmptior. Mr. Abbott
bus presented the old facts, witlt a rich col
oring, and in striking perspective, whioh al
most give them tho charm of novelty. "The
Treason of Benedict Arnold," by B. J. Los
sing, is u graphic relation of ihat datk epi
sode in our revolutionary history. The
number contains tho usual carefully pre
pared "Record of Current Events," arid
"Literary Notices," uhilo tho now feature
called "The Editor's Drawer," is continued
in an improved style, presenting an excel
lent melange of anecdote, humor, pathos,
and droll reminiscences.

Gen. Lopez's Lmt Moments.
At ihe fatal hour Gen. Lopez was brought
out, ami ascended tho platform with a firm
step. His person was enveloped in a white
shroud. The executioner then removed tho
shroud, and thero stoo l the General in his
full military uniform before the assembled
multitude. His appearanc wm calm digni
fied und heroic. Not a muscle quivered. He
looked upon the preparations for death un
moved, his coiintenunco changed not, and
Ins whole bearing was firm and manly. The
executioner now removed Ids embroidered
coat, bis sash, cravat, and ail the insignia of
his military rank, in token of disgrace. Gen.
Lopez, with his hands tightly bound together
in front, stepped forward, and in a strong,
eleßr voice, slowly spoko to those around us
follows:— " I pray the perron* who have com
promised me, to pardon mo us I pardon them.
My death will not change the destinies of Cuba."
[Tho exccutionor, standing a little behind,
hero interrupted him in an insulting tone,
with "C'ome, be quick, be quick "]
General Lopez, turning his head partly n
round, fixed his ci o on the man, and said
sternly, gritting his his teeth, "Wait, Sir."
He then continued .— "Adieu, my beloved Cu
lm ! Adieu, my Urcthrent" Tho General
then stepped back, and seated himself on
the stool. A priest with a crucifix and ta
per stood on 0110 side of him, tho exocutiia
er on tho other. Tho cellar \vas then placed
around tbtf pri27,cr's nock. The priest now
l>l D C'oi\ tho crucifix between the General's
hands, and just as he was in the act of incli
ning his head to kiss it, tho executioner
swung the fatal scrow, and tho head of tho
unfortunate man at tho sumo instant dropped
forward, touching tho crucifix. Ho piover
moved again.
Immediately nfler the oxceution, General
Lopez's body was taken down and privately
buried.
Among tho relatives of General I.opcz in
Cuba, are, bis brother-in-law, tho Count of
Pozosdutces, o noble of great wealth and
high character, Murlumo Frias, widow of a
nobleman of wealth, is his sister-in-law. If 0
had other near relatives. They all left town
previous to tho execution, unwilling to be
near on such nn'occasion. General Lopez
was 55 years of ago. Ho has a son 13 years
of ago, studying in Switzerland. Ilia wife
is in Paris. Tho General was very wealthy,
but spent his income as fast as ho received
it. In this, and tho previous unfortunate ex
peditions, ho lost very largo sums.

The Crime *ol' Voung "I'linronti "
The exocution of young "Pharoah," at the
early age of 20, for tlie crime of murdering
a young woman, for tho sake of her gold
watch, ought to fnrimli a lesson for the im
proved education of the young, nnd their
employment in useful industry, that will
place them above tho temptations of idle
ness, povorjy orjvant. Stephen Girard left
bis of seven millions of
dollurs chiefly to secure to orphan youth a
sound moral education, and the means of fu
ture independence, by ' binding them out to a
trade." Statesmen, sages and philanTliro
pists, in all ages, have labored to provide
poor youth With the means of subsistence
through honest industry, and giving them a
control over their passions, by wise and
proper moral instruction in early life. In his
letter to his mother, just previous to his ex
ecution, Tharoah expressed his sorrow that
he did not go back to bis employer, and
'stay his timo outfrom which wo may in
fer, that ho thought such a courso of con
duct would have saved him from this revolt
ing crimo. Leaving his employer, and "re
fusing to return," when advised to do so by
(lis mother, were tho obvious causes tliu'
plunged hint into guilt; for tho old saying
lias been fuliy verified in his ease, that the
"Devil is always whispering mischief in the
ears of the Kile." Tho condit ion of life be
ing labor, useful occupation cuts off all
temptation to wear ont tho timo by tho grat
ification of tho bad passions ; and as he
who is idle must necossarily become poor
robbery and inurdor slalk in to entice the
wretch to his perdition. His words to his
father could perhaps be truly uttered by ma
ny who now tread on the dizzy precipice of
crime. "Father! you know yon have not
acted a good part towards me ; you have
never afforded mo a good example In follow,
and permitted mo to grow up in ignorance
uiul vice ! What words arc theso to bo ad
dressed to a father, by a 6011 standing under
the gibbet I But, ,if that father neglected
lii 3 duty, that nogloct was no apology or jus
tification for tho crime of tho son. This fal
lacy is becoming too common. Parents can
not be too severely reproved for the ncglec l
of their children's minds and morals ; but
murderers cannot bring thoir crimes homo to
their parents. No man is so ignorant as not
to know the devilish turpitude of murder.
Wo want moro caro, liowover, over tho
minds and morals of children, and loss anx
iety to pamper their appetites, and gratify
their passions. Moral education cannot be
gin too soon, nor habits of industry, as a
means of living, bo too early and 100 assid

CENIOT'S FACTS FBPM THE CENSUS.—A
writer in one of tho New York religious pa
pers is comparing tho census returns in re
gard to tho prevalence of insanity, between
the whites and the blacks, and tho rolative
proportion. Tho facts adduced show that in
sanity is greater among the free blacks. In
tho Stato of Maine every fourteenth colored
person is an idiot or a lunatic. And though
there is a g adual improvement in the con.
ilitii-pGrf il.u --loro.l r.ieo us WO piocded
west and south, ylt it is evident that tho
ftoo States are lite principal abodes ol idiocy
and iunacy among llietn, In Ohio tljere aro
just ten colored persons who are idiots or lu
natics, where there is ono in Kentucky. And
in Louisiana, where a largo majority of tho
population is colored, and four-fifths of thorn
are slaves, there is but one of those unfor
tunates to 4309, who aro sane. Tho propor
tions in other States, according to tho census
of 1840, are as follows : in Massachusetts 1
in 43: Connecticut 1 in 185; New York I
257 , Pennsylvania 1 in 250 ; Maryland 1 in
1074; Virginia 1 in 1309 ; North Carolina 1
in 1215 ; South Carolina 1 in 2140; Ohio 1
ill 105 : Kentucky lin 1053. This is cer
tainly a very curious calculation, and indi
cates thai diseases of tho brain aro far more
rare among the slaves than atnoug tho free
of the colored race.

THE DVOTT CABE.
Tho addresses of tho Counsel in this case
of all übsorbing public interest, commenced
yesterday. James Campbell Esq., being
tho Junior counsel, opened in a speech
which lasted upwards of tlireo hours, and
without the usual indulgence for perpara
tion being extonded to him. We but ex
press the universal sense of the numorons
auditory in pronouncing this forensic effort
of Mr. Campbell ono ,of the happiest and
ablest that lias ever been listened to in our
criminal sessions.
The young orator commenced with the
beginning of Dr. Dyott's career as a banker,
and truced the liueamcnts of his portrait
with a master band, following liirn through
his dark and tortuous course, up to the hour
of his arraignment at tho bar for fraudulent
insolvency. The method, the earnest and
impressive munnor, the analytical ability
and familiarity with tho laws and fuels of
the clfto, evinced by Mr. Campbell, be
spoke the talents which must elevate their
possessor to an enviable rank iu bis profes
sion, and surprised all whoso [attention bad
not been previously attracted to tho unassu
ming cureer of this youthful advocate.
Too much credit we think, cannot bo a
wurJcd to this gentlemen and bis colleague
for the patient and indefatigable industry,
the tact and talent which they have dis
played in the conduct of the prosecution.
Bo sensible wore tho able counsel of tho ac
cused, of tho impression made upon the
Court and Jury, by tho powerful apifbal of
Mr. Campbell, that Joseph 11. Ingcrsol), Esq.,
asked permission to occupy the interme
diate time until Monday noxt preparing his
reply. This was granted by tho Court.

Wo desire our republican fellow citizens
to remerabor tho fact that tho present politic
cal party, which is organized under Iho
name of "Whig," is in body and soul tho
same which, heretofore was known as the
FEDKRAL PARTY", and which, during the
"nEia.x OF TEiiKott," perpetrated tho most
utrocious cxccssos and violations of law '•
and the samo party which noted upon
and carried out tho principles avowed in the
foregoing maxims, uttered by various mom
bers of that parly. Wo ask them also to
bear iu mind that every living individual)
and every paper whoso expressions or opin
ions have been quoted, are now nltachod to
Iho car of modern Whiggory, laboring with
renewed zeal in support of their old Federal
creed, and iu opposition to Democratic prin
ciples und tho nominees of the Democratic
| party.

characterized by a greater want of consis

Ho once was a ono teim man. Now he
begs office for a second term.
Ho onco was a Democrat. Now he is a
federal Whig of tho most reckless character
11c onco advocated a faithful execution of
the National Constitution, by "a summary
| remedy," in reference to fugitives from la-
I bor. Now ho repudiates all thai ho then
said.
| Ho was largely instrumental in -fastening
lan enormous debt upon tho Slate. Now he
j would like to avuid the responsibility of that
i dobt, by attempting to fasten it upon others.

Puedesttnation. —A correspondent asks
I Fowler, tho Phrenologist, somo knotty ques
tions, and lie replies : ''The "hair you oan't
split' has troubled metaphysical speculators
for conturios; namely, to harmonize tho ere"
ative and overruling government of God
with tho free agency of man. You ask how
'< the cre.aturo can be blamed for acting out
; the character which tho Creator has given
hint. Read tho parable of tho talents in the
\ New Testament Each received according
to his several ability, and tho responsibility
of each was according to his ability, and the
ability fo use and ocoupy, and no greater.
.Men have different capacities nod taloirts;
and are responsible or.ly for the right use of
what they havo; and one can fulfil tho re
quirements of a just and merciful creator
just as oasilj as another, inasmuch as he
holds them accountable no farther tLan their
ability to obey extends."

His force had been oonfpletely disporscd,
and lie was finally le f t to wander about in
the mountains, where he was pursued by
blood-hounds and finally captured.

Ilis last words wero "ADIEU, DEAR CUTS !"
A groat crowd witnessed tho execution.

Tho remnant of bis band, some 30 in
number, had fled to the mountains.
Previous the death of I.opez, ho declared
that ho had been greatly DECEIVED, in regard
to the promised aid in Cuba.

Who Is 1111 l Illglor.
Tho one idea party havo already fallen
into tho track in which they traveled in 18-
44, and havo commenced during the ques
tion—who is Bill Bigler? as if he was un
known to faino or to tho universal Whig
party. Wo can tell them who ho is. Ho
was a printer boy, like Dr. Franklin. Ha is
like Dr. Franklin, a working man—a "com
mon man " Ho is a raf'.sman oil the Susque
hanna river, who has earned his broad by
the sweat of his brow; who has stored his
iutolloct with useful, acientiflo and practical
knowledge; knows tho wants and condi
tions ol his native State, and offers his hnnd
and his heart to save her; who has done
more than any other man now in public ser
vice to e.\t ic :ta her from tho quagmire ot
repudiation, into which tho Federal party
had well nigh plunged her, and whom the
people remember and will reward with the
highest honors they havo to confer.

appears in an English papor:

household, scold his sprvanls, nurse his ba
bies (when thoy arrive,) cheek his trades
man's bills, accompany him to the thoatro,
or in walking or riding, cut the leaves of his
new books, sew on his buttons, warm his.
slippers, and generally muko his miserable
life happy. Apply, in tho first place, by let
tor to Louisa Caroline, Linden Grove, atjd
afterwards to papa, upon tho promises.

The Religion of Paying Debts. Otto of our
religious exchanges has tho following strong
remarks on this subject. They drive the
nail in the head and clinch it:
"Men ntay sophisticate as ploaso.
They can never mako it right, and all tho
Imhkrupt laws in the universe cannot mako
it right for them not to pay iboir debts.
There is a sin in this negloct as clear and as
deserving church discipline as in stealing or
fulso swearing. He who violates his prov
iso to pay, or withholds the payment of a
dobt when it is in his power to moot his en
gagement, ought to bo made to feol that in
tho sight of all hon.-st men he is a swindlor.
Religion may bo a very comfortable cloak
under which to hide; but if religion does
not mako a man 'deal justly,' it is not
worth having."
