An Old Story, but a Good Ono
Many years ago, in a country town of an
adjoining Slate, the iuhabitants under the
.eaestemeut of a revival, determined to build
a meeting-house, and a Inane for it was
forthwith produced and raised. This done,
Mew zeal and funds became alike exhaus
ted, and the frame remained exposed for
years to the action of the elements, and ii.
sally noted and tumbled down. After a
long interval, their zeal again kindled, a
nimism frame was procured, and the crowd
asssembkd to raise it. • Religious ceretno.

was at once assented to, but no psalm

"Prom my Mother, MO"
A short time since, a case came up to
the U. S. District Court in Philadelphia,
in which a captain all vessel 'was charged
with some otTonce on shipboard by his'
crew. Au incident occurred in the hear
ing of the case, which excited a deep feel
ing in the court and in all present.
A small lad was called to the stand to
testify in the case. He had been a hand
on board the barque, while at Pernambu
co, and was present during the Controver
sy between the captain and the crew.—
The shaggy appearance of his head, and
the bronzed character of his face and neck,
from the exposure to a southern sun, at
first sight, would seem to indicate careless
ness and neglect; but underneath that
long and matted hair, the fire of intelli
gence gleamed from a pair of small and
restless eyes, which could not be mistaken.
The counsel for the captain, front the ex
treme youth of the lad, doubted whether
he understood the obligation of an oath he
was about to take, and with a view to test
I his knowledge, asked leave to interrogate
him. This was granted, and the follow
ing colloquy took place.
Counsel. "My lad do you understand'
the obligation of an oath 1"
Boy. "Yes, sir, I do."
Counsel. "What is the obligation 1"
-Boy. "To speak the truth, and keep
nothing hid."
Counsel. "Where &A you learn this
my lad 1"
Boy. "From, my mother, air," replied
the lad, with a look of pride, which show
ed how much he esteemed the early mor
al principles implanted in his breast by
her to whom was committed his physiCal
and moral existence.
'For a moment there was a deep silence
in the court . room, and then, as eye met
eye, and fare gleamed to face with the re
cognition of a mother's love and moral
principle, which had made their fixed im
pression upou this boy, it seemed as if the
spectators would forget the decorum due
to the place, and give audible expression
to their emotions. The lad was instantly
mined to testify.
Behold the Mother's power. Often had
evil influence and currnpt example assail
ed this boy. Time and care, and exposure
to the battling elements, had worn away
the lineaments of we infant face, and bron
zed his once fair exterior, but deeply nes
tled io hifi bosom still the lessons -of a
tnuther's love, which taught him to love
and smak the truth.

The Maiden awl tho Zero
On the night of the battle of Brandy
wine, I was sent with a message from Gen.
(.;reene to Count Pulaski, a noble Polander,
who took a prominent part m our freedom.

In all tnetant, a rosy-etteeked girl enter•

sound of Pith aski'm voice.

very timidly.

he said. hemlituz his tall form to kiss her
cheek. ••not to call me Count; call toe your
dear Pulaski. This is a republic, my lit

know."
"But you are a Count, sir, when at home,
and they say you came a lung way over
the ocean to fight for us."
"Yes, yes, Mary, very true, I did come
a long way. but one reason why, was, I
had to come in a measure. Now, can you
get for this gentlemen and myself a little
refreshment 2 He hes a lung way to ride

"A fine. pleasant girl," said Pulaski.—
..Would that I had the wealth I once had,
I would give her a portion that ould send
half the youths hereabouts afte her sweet

On the morning of the 11th of Septem
ber, 1777, the British army advanced 'in
full force to Chadd's Ford, for the purpose
of crossing Brandywine Creek, and bring
ing on an action with Washington. Sir
William Howe drove Maxwell's division
across die creek by ten o'clock, at one of 1
the lower fords.
The Hessian general, Knyphaidlen, with
a large force advancing up the side of the
creek and uniting with Cornwallis, who
commanded the wing of the army, crossed I
at the upper forks of the river and creek.
It so happened that during the raging of
the conflict, in carrying orders, I passed
immediately in the direction of Pulaski's
quarters, that I hail visited the night be
fore. Situated as the house was, in the
midst of the battle, curiosity led me to ride
up. Suddenly a sheet of flame burst forth.
The house was on fire. Near the door
step lay the body of Mary, her head cut
open by a sabre, and her brains oozing
out Irma the terrible wound ! I had , not
been there morAtan half a minute when
Pulaski, at the head, of a troop of cavalry,
galloped rapidly to the house. Never
shall I forget the expression of his face,
as he shouted like a demon onn - seeing- the
inanimate form— •

THE CESIUM EEL
A Severe Rebuke upon the Looofoco
Party by a Locotoo° Paper.
.The Bradford Reporter, the organ of
the Locofoeo party of. Bradford county, in
the following paragraphs, severely but justly
reproves the conduct of the Locofoco Press
of the State in attempting to fasten upon
the Whig Party the guilt of having brought
about the recent lamentable tragedy at
Christiana. This unhappy occurrence, de
plored by every good citizen, be he Whig
or Democrat, is dragged into the political
arena, and is made the burden of every
political harangue and every news paper
editorial. Even Col. Bigler himself, from •
whom, as the candidate of a great political
party, something more manly was to be ex
pected, throwing asidirthrlegitimate is-
I sues involved in the contest, in all
his harangues, dwells upon this mebinclioly
occurrence, representing it as ono of the
direct consequences of the position of the
Whig party of Pennsylvania in reference '
to the Compromise measures. Such was
the character of his speech in Hanover on
Friday Tast,lti which lie,charged that Gov.
Johnston was responsible for the murder,
and said further that it was "humiliating'
that after having been instrumental in in
' stigating-tliese min to the perpetration of
the deed, the Governor should spend the
money of the people iu reward for the de
tection of the murderers.' The Mowing
manly and sensible remarks show the mut
ter in the true light, and place Mr. Bigler
in an unenviable position :
"In this connection we feel called upon
to deprecate any attempt to drag this un
- fortuaate occurrence into the arena of poli
it ics, for the purpose of making capitalfur
any party. Such conduct, in our opinion,
is disreputable, whether it be by Demo
crat or W %Ye have no need to dip
our banners in the blond of the victims at
Christiana, and flaunt the bloody insignia
to create entliumasin for our candidates,—
Amy attempt so to do, is both unjustifiable
and unworthy the name of Democracy.—
Let us never stoop to inflame the pas
sions and prejudices of men, while we are
a party of principles—nor, upon the bleed
ing corpses of tile!' who have fallen victims
iu such a manner, endeavor to prejudice
either local or State authorities, without
better cause.
"The immediate instigators of the riot
which has eventuated so fatally, will, we
trust, be brought to condign punishment.
They are more culpable than the negroes,
who ignorant of the magnitude of the crime
they were committing, armed themselves
to defy their master in his attempts to re
gain possession of his property.
"It is one of the deplorable but legiti
mate consequences attendant upon and re
sulting from, the institution of human sla
very. Upon that dread evil falls the odi
um--rbrought about and hastened by the
Fugitive Slave Law. In no small meas
ure are they answerable who are aiding
and abetting the Slave Power, by denoun
cing all who will not worship at that shrine,
as abolitionists and incendiaries, and who
for ulterior objects, and front motives of
personal aggrandizement, are endeavoring
to create the impression that a considera- .
ble portion of the North is hostile to the
fulfilment of the guarantees of the Consti
tution. What wonder if the colored pop
ulation of the North will arm theinselves
to prevent the reclamation of Fugitives by
bloodshed and violence, they are made
to believe that a large portion of the citi
zens of the North stand ready to aid them,
or even to wink at their treasonable pro
ceedings. And yet it has been fashiona
ble of late, in certain quarters, to denounce
those who did not stand ready to endorse
the Fugitive Slave law as the peifection
of human wisdom and the height of mer
cy, as Higher Law advocates, persons who
were ready to trample upon the Compro
mises of the Constitution, and ready to fire
the aacred temple of Liberty, and to class ,
them with that misguided and fanatical
sect who avow the most dangerous and
treasonable doctrines.

A Case to Point.
The Locofocos try to hold Gov. John
ston responsible for the riot in Lancaster
county and the murder of Gorsuch. In
1847 a riot of a similar nature took place
at Carlisle, in which Mr. Kennedy. of
Hagerstown. Md., was severely injured,
and soon after died. Francis K. Shook
was Governor of the State. Was he re
sponsible for the riot and the murder?—
Did Gov. Shunk interest himself in ar
resting the rioters? Did Ito issue any
Proclamation offering a reward No,
Gov. Slunk did nothing whatever to ar
rest or bring to trial the persons implica
ted. The Anti-Kidnapping law of 1847.
which Bigler he!ped to pass and Shank
signed, was then in full force! Did Gov.
Shook afterwards recommend its repeal ?
Did Bigler whostill remained in the Senate,
advocate its repeal I Not a bit of it
They took the matter very cooly and said
nothing. The Lostoloco party left the law
of 1847 four years on the statute books,
and not until the very last hour of-the last
day of the seitsion of the Le gieliture; did
the Union get into suck! imminent danger
as to require its repeal !! What humbug

of our objections , to Loathe° Administra
tions. They got the money, blot didn't

people eau imagine. •
Bigler's friends have reason to
blush for him. He is as reckless of facts as
the must abandoned Locrtloco Editor in the
State. Htepoint of attack now is the 4oan
of 1849 to avoid the Schuylkill Inclined
Plane at Philadelphia. In his speech
at Hanover, on Friday last, he boldly, 4 as
serted that the Proclamation of the Gover
nor setting forth that $732,235 97 of the
rate debthad been cancelled. was false,
that G.tv. Johnston had added to the State
Debt $400,000 by the appropriation to
lavoid the Inclined Plane.---and that the
actual amount of debt cancelled is only,
9332,235 97 ! A few words will stance
to rho W how mean and how reckless are
these misrepresentations.
When the Platte was used, it required
930,000 a year to pay the expenses of
keeping it in repair and use. The sLegie
ture of 1849 passed a bill authorizing a loan
of 8400,000, at 0 per cent.. to avoid this
Plane. The loan was made and the plane
was avoided. This arrangement actually
effected a saving to the State Treasury ev
ery year, a+ follows:
Annual expense of keeping up
the rischuylkill - thellwrd
Interest on $4u0,000 at sit pet
Annual mina to the State;
These sixAousand dollars are applied

This loan of 8400,000 had nothing to
do with the Sinking Fund. It wad auth
orized by the Legislature of 1849, and
was negotiated because the Legislature di ;
rested it. This amount is included in the
840,110,302 44 due on Sept. 1, 1851. but
with the addition of this sum, the debt is

In the mean time Gov. Johnston has ap.

on the Columbia railway—about four

Branch Canal, and various amounts to the
repair of the public works. He. has done

irrJudge Woodsmrd, when in Har

that belied bawd of but one Whig in
State who would not vote for Gov. John
ton now, and that ho had boon recently a
a citizen of a sister State, but that he knew
hundreds of 'Democrats' who would now
vote for Gov. Johnston who had not voted
for him in 1848, and if this stampede in
Johnston's favor war not slopped Mr.
Bigler would be defeated. To stop this
uprising of the people, he proposed a pan
ic on the slavery question and remarked :
rtr 'He did not know that
, there was any CAUSE' for A
! LARM, but that it was better
to Iblir RAISE A FALSE
ALARM than that • Johnston
'should be•eleeted ! ! !"
Remember this trick, Whip, when you
read the Gorsuch letter, the comments of
the Locofoco pit.sa on the lints at ahristi

all a mere sham, intended for political ef-

pat-Some of the Locefocos say that
Anti-Kidnapping Law of 1847 was the
cause of the riot at Christiana. . The
Carlisle Volunteer of the 25th September,
says that it was the cause of the riot at
Carlisle . in 1847. It remarks of.Cioveripm
Johnston :
"The legithnotO fruits of his abolition
doctrines, and affinities, and his opposition
to the Compromise measures adopted by
Congress, are now before him in the mang
led remains of the murdered I.lonmeh, as
the fruits of the art of 1847, ono section' ,
of which he now refuses to repeal, were
manifested in the death of the ktmenleel
Kennedy in this place."
Now who made this law ? Lot us ace.
