Extra Pay--Mr. Lightner Tariff.
The Gazette lately rebuked us for the man
ner in which we published a vote that was taken
on a resolution connected with the Tariff question,
and complained that it was a misrepresentati,cm
of Mr. Lightner's course on the Taeitf. The 6.-
zrAte stated that Mr:Li:ollter was absent, attend
ing to private 'business.during the whole of the
extra session, th;s being the fact, it denounced
our notice of his conduct as a "falsehood." Thel
Gaz7lte's statement was tLe first certain knowl
edge we had of Mr. I's negleat of d u'y, and on
refering to the journal we find the fact corrobora ,,
ted W a A this is not the worst of it; Mr. Lightner .
net only neglected his duty, during the whole of
the er tr i see i hut., as we learn Isom the "Key.
stone", actually DEMANDED AND RECEIV
ED 'HIS "REGIJLAR PAY FOR THE TIME
HE WAS ABSENT ATTENDING TO HIS
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
What has the Gazette say to this piece. of "Light.
ner Reform?" Do any of the fabrications against
democratic officers, that appear in the report of
the celebrat( •• ltivcstigating Committee," equa
little piece of federal honestNg
ill the Gazette look over Mr. Lightner's r^-
port and see the penalty that it recommends should
be inflicted on extravagant and dishonest public
servants?
The Insolence of Office•
We subjoin, from the Phila. Times, an
account of an outrage perpetrated by the
federal whip Postmaster of Philadelphia
and his underlings, upon an inoffensive
young• man, whose place they probably
wanted for some supple tool of their own.
If anything could add to the revolting
ch•.aracter of the, affair, it is the fact, that
the young man is the sole dependence of
a widowe6 Mother'find a sister, andthat his
only care is to maintain them decently
and comfortably. The reflection that 'be
renderel a helpless family entirely desti
tute, no doubt gave great zest to the ex
ercise of tyranny by the Philadelphia Post
master. Paxson, we are told, is not without
friends, who have alt eady taken measures
to have the Matter properly represented
a t Washington.
We can but hype that the postmaster
will be promptly_stripped of the authority
with which he is invested, and be thrust
from the place he has 'disgraced.—lf Mr.
Tyler is the man..he ought to be, the corn
plaint of the plot rainier will not be un
heard, nor listened to with indifference:
'A. MORTIFYING Sccivx.—Rom in the Post Office
—Rtinovat of a Carrier.—A disgraceful scene oc-.
curred at our Post Office yesterday morning,
which resulted in the immediate discharge of one
of the letter carriers, named Wm. EL Paxson.
It
seems that Mr. P. has been in the P. 0. man and
buy for over sixteen years, and has always borne
an irreproachable character. Differing somewhat
from the new clerks in politics, he has latterly
been mode the quiet butt of all their abuse. On
Wednesday afternoon, not content with abusing
him, three cf the scamps fell to villifying Col.
Page, the late Postmaster, and denominating him
a thief, &c. &c. &c. Indignant at this, Paxson
took it up. A quarrel ens led, and after an almost
approach to fiiticuff , ended by an appeal to Mr.
'Mon , goinery.
Yesterday morning the matter came up before
the Postmaster. Mr. Montgomery said many
hard things about his amiable predecessor—call
ed him we are told, and all the old clerk., a d—d
set of old thieving scoundrels,' and put his fist in
the face of Mr. Paxson. A general melee ther
ensue. - Mr. P. was knock
he underli ed down ngs of the office,
. held the:
and stamped upon,by
when he was permitted ti get up, an d told forth
with to leave his situation.
These are the plain facts just as they were re
lated to us. We have nut intentionally misrepre
seined or exaggerated in the least.is a start
ling pietore of affairs in a public offi t ce,and we
are pained to think that we should have occasion
to chronicle so disgraceful an event.'

The Baltimore Slut of the llr instants gives
the details of a murderous- assault mantra upon "the
person of John C. Legtend, Leg., SecretarY: of
State, which , took place in the vestibule of
State house at Annscolis, on Wednesday art
noon, the 14th lost. The perpetrator of t tumipt
was a young man.named T. C. Loockertuan,iiir
for sontetitne past, has cherished a rriltifinair• . ! .
nant feeling toward Mr. L., arising -from jealousy.
The cause ofLoockerman's enmity is thus di
-
tailed by the correspondent of the Sum ; 41 As I
learn, this young man. (Loockerman) marriiidaicone.
time ago a very amiable young lad„'?at daughter
of Major Jones, of this city, at wharekouse Mr.
Legrand was an ocgasional visiter. Loockertnan's
conduct, however, subsequent to his marrlt ae,ted
to a separation, and the young wife continued to
dwell under her father's roof, where Mr.. Legrand,
of course, continued his visits. Under the pecu.
liar circumstances of the position of the parties.
Mr. Legrand, as the friend of the furnily, grew in
the eyes of Loockerman inlo a rival, and out of
this the assault has occurred."
At the time above specified, Loockerman past
ed himself - at the door of the State House, armed
with a bludgeon and a dirk, the latter concealed,
and as Mr. Legrand approached, Loon kerman ob
structed his entrance to the building. Mr. • Le.-
grand immediately attempted to thrust the man
aside, when the latter struck at him, Mr. Legrand
receiving the bludgeon ot! ... his left armvand
promptly retaining with In Ist a severe blear;
which felled his antagonist to the floor. Before
he could improve his ach-antege, hotoyever,Lonielt
erman had parity risen, and .flra - wing hia dirk,
-stabbed Mr. Legrand in the thigh, severing the
muscle and causing him instantly to fall; thus
lying at the mercy of his assailant, with the mal
ice of a fiat], he was twice stabbed in the body,
the dirk entering the right breast just above the
lower rib, and again about three inches below, the
wound inclining in an oblique direction towards
the hip. Loockerman then - made his escape, &ere;
being no one present but a young man, wha
seems to have hesitated a little too long tis to what
he ought to do. Mr. Legrand arose and was
able to make his way into the Executive
surgical aid was immstately summoned, amides.
patches sent off to anirnore for Drs. Biickler,
Smith and others.. Our ictest information is, that
he had been very sick, vomiting quite freely; and
that between 7 and 8 o'clock ou Wednesday night
his pain was increasing, and the physiciani were
not without apprehension as to the result.
A Reward of $250 has been offered for the ar'
rest of Loockarnan.
A Tennessee paper gives an account of an at
tempt to assassinate W. G. Brownlow,the editor of
the Jonesboro' Whig, at a Camp Meeting on Sab
bath, in Silistury county, by a mob led on by F.
McCullem a inembar of-,the Virginia Legislature.
They approached him-behind, felled him to the
earth with clubs—he arnse,snapped a pistol at the
breast of one of the villains—was felled again to
the earth—and neaten in a moit brutal manner.—
The time, the place, the manner of the attack,
' should bring down upon those engaged in it, the
severest punishment or the law.
It. is a very surprising fact that President
Tyler still holds on to the executive office,
after what has been done to get him out.
A petition was got up in this place and ex
tensively signed, requesting him to tesign .
his office, and unaccountable as it is may
seen, he had not complied with the request,
at the-latest dates! Such contumacy is ab
ominable,or as we are told one of the sign
ers declared, "most tolerable wad not to be
endured." There is but one way left to
get Mr. Tyler out of the place the whigs
took such vile means to secure for him;
and that is to send a committee on to Wash ,
ington, to represent to him how very wrong
it.is for him to hold on; and how much bet
ter it would be for him to let Mt. Man--
gum be President. Such a committee, it
will be borne in mind, 'vas once sent on
from this city, to lecture Gen. Jacksbn.—
Isaac Lightner, (Extra pay Lightner) was 1
upon it, we believe,came home and read a
long report on the matter in the Court
House to the people who had powers of
endurance enough to hear him out. Why
not follow this example, and send a corn
mittee to Tyler? , We have no doubt they
would receive as much attention, and do
squally as much md—as did the commit
t, tee that waited up ii Jackson.

Cabinet Changes.
The New York Uni.m, an organ of President
Tyler's administrating, says;
"Rumors of changes in - the Cabinet, and ap.
pointments to fill vacancies., continue to appear
in the- newspapers; some are true and some
merely speculative. Mr. Cushing, !here appears
to be no doubt, will go intu the Treasury depart
ment at an early day, but the successor to Mr.
V bster is not yet dedided upon. In fact, it is
no easy matter to fill that department with the
ability with which it is at -presant sustained.
There is talent sufficient for any department in
every section of the country, but other considera
tions ate likewise required, tot give effect to this
'selection. The Secretary of State should be off
the old democratic school, of high character and
attainments, of positive influence, available and
efficient; one who would add strength to the Ca
binet, and give additional energy and decision to
the administration. It requires both time and re
flection to select such a person as Premier, and
we are quite sure that it will not be done in haste
and without due consideration.!t

We have eften-been amused with the ingenuity

Of some peeple in misspalling words. Some there
are who are so wilful as to spell very with twor's;
others find „it impossible to spell the word right
correctly; Making it "write," '‘rite," ' , upright,"
"wrighle,".& c., and transposing each of these dif
ferent words so as to have them wrong in every
case. There is a man in Allegheny, who has two
rloins for Rent, and he makes the fact known by
writing these words on a placard:
' TOO 1400NIES TO LETT."
It is a Bole strange that he should have mana
gad to spell the third word correctly.
A queer Mistake.

Reply to the 4 Grazejtel and 4American. 7
Messrs Editors: I did not see the Gazette and
American of yesterday in due time, to pay my
respects through your paper of to-day, to Mr.
White and Mr. Biddle. In attempting to repel
the charge of Locofocoism, brought against ma by
Mr. White, I feel I am treading on very insecure
and ticklish ground. To enter the lists, single
handed, against two ab'e a nd experienced editors,
is enough, you will admit, to intimidate an oh,,
i.cure and unprotenditio . individual. I must,
therefore, studiously avoid, in the prosecution of
my defence, the use of language, which might
add the 'Post' to the present number of my learn
ed.aud talented opponents. - Will you promise,
Missrs. Editors, in the f t rue spirit of chivalry, to
take no part in the unequal contest, now in pr.-
grass, whilst I disclaim, for the gratification of
Mr. Whit any, even the slightest, connexion
will, Locofocoism? In order that there may be
`no mistake' about my position, it may also be ad
visable to inform our neighbor of the Gazette that
I actually belong to the Liberty party.
It is extremely judicious in friend White not
'to go into any defence of Mr. Sheridan: for such
an attempt, in all probability, would prove a corn - ,
pletsr:failure. There are-certain -things which the'
greatlk men now liking can not accomplish; and
in all such cases 'discretion is the better part-pf
valor.' .
Notwithstanding theireendiscernment of neigh
bor White, he is egregionsly mistaken in another
important particular. He says 'as far as we have
been able to ascertain, the course of Mr. Sheridan
meets with the approbation of, the Liberty partyr
As the editor of the Gazette.2ls,a prominent pro.'
fessor of Religion, it will not `do to accuse him of
intentional misrepresentation. It must, therefore,,
be inferred that he is totally ignorant of a i•ubject,
upon which he has undertaken to enlighten hiS
readers. Every body who knows any thing:
about the Liberty Party, is thoroughly convinced
that Mr. Sheridan can not calculate, with any de4
gree of certainty, on receiving a single vote truni
that 'lFtuarter.
How the accornplieted and gentlemanly Editor!
of the American will account to his numerous sub T
scribers, fur the manner in which he coinplimeni a
their understanding, it is not easy to deteriuine,
It says, 'WO well known to every bddy that the
Recorder's office is the most advntageous and
profitable of any other on the whole ticket, and
that tlie one for Assembly,of all others, as to pro . -
fit is the most thankless.' Now who possrssel of
any intelligence, does not know, that it is
impossible for any person on the Liberty ticket to
be elected, and (that such is the universal opinion
of the Liberty men themselves! Whereas ,it is
generally believed, by politicians of all parties,
that the Whig and Antimasonic ticket will sue
ceed, by a respectable if not triumphant majority.
And yet in the very face of these facts, our n-igh
bor of the American has the hardihood, broadty
and boldly to insinuate that Mr. Sheridan's ebonite;
of election is as good on the Liberty, as on the-
Whig and Antirnasonic ticket. Were not -Se
(Biddle) steeped in duplicity, he would opt do- .
thus to impose upon the credulity of the : public..::::

ALLEGHENY CITY
F A mob of lazy loafers assemble at sta
ted periods in,the lisrket house of Alie
,
gheny city, much to the annoyance of the
Citizens in the neighborhood, and the pas•
aers by. On last Stitday afternoon they
numbered about fifty, we are informed,and
raised such a row as was really disgraceful
to that usually quiet city.
A friend has promised us a list of their
names which we will publish as soon as
received. So look out.
The indetatigable m mbers of the Uncle
.Sam appear dissatisfied with our notice of
,their engine. We are surly for this, as.
! we know to a certainty, that they are cle
iver fellows. They are the last persons in
:the world we would offend. But we would
just suggest that hereafter it would be bet
; ter for them to throw water on the fire, in
stead of trying to "knock a nigger down"
merely for peeping out of a window.
The Clay Utah is a miserable aborticn.
They can't raise active members enough to
officiate, and we believe they have already
held their last meeting, Would it not be
well if they would change it into a literary
society; they would do their patron as much
service, However, for their especial edi.
fication, we publish the followinglines:
'Oh Clay, Oh Clay, soft, soft Clay,
Rotten is his staff who leans on Clay !
We are pleased to observe that the foun
dations of many new and elegant brick
buildings are beir.g laid. This is a cheer
ing indication. Allegheny city must go
ahead !
Maine Election-- Br ighter _Vet.
The returns come io gloriously from every part
of' Maine. The democrats hay eelected their can
didate for Governor by a majority larger, by some
thousands, than that of last year, and the Legisla
ture will be democratic in both branches, by in,
created majorities! In the 69 towns given in our
table, Fairfield's majority over - Robinson is 3,463
—A GAIN OF SEVENTEEN HITI4DREO AND,
THIRTY-.SIX VOTE; SINCE THE -LAST
ELECTION ! Whiggery is annihilated.
