fort. A few days since they. Ailed to make
themselves believe that the reason of the
apathy among their former friends in the
country, was the fact that the farmers
were busy taking in their harvest. This
would not do, for it happens that the har...
vest is not yet ripe, and if the people had
any inclination to befriend antis.asonry,
they have as much leisure to do it now as
they will have at any time before the
tion. But the fact is, and the blue noses
will not venture a serious denial to the
statement, that antirnasonry is done for in
Allegheny county, and that it is not the
want of time but the want of feeling that
prevents the people of the country from
giving it their aid. The old blue nose lead
ers, in most of the tovr,ships, are now with
the whip, and this the city clique know
full well.
This being the case, the only formidable
opponent we have, is that portian of the
federal party that organized under the
management of the whig and antimasonic
Convention. It is the party, and all our
efforts should be directed against it. We
cannot see, however,that there is the slight
est chance of electing a single candidate
on the whig ticket, even if they should ev
entually receive the aid of the small squad
w ho now adhere to the desperate fortunes
of Antimasonry, as we feel certain that the
democratic Convention will nominate such
a ticket as will be able to beat their com
bined forces. But we think it well that
the democrats should be on the alert, and
prepared to meet the only party that can
make any thing like a struggle in the con.
est.
As we predicted some time since, the
whigs are sweeping all before them, and
the Gazette cliquy, we are it , f.rrned,desire
to capitulate, and for a very small share of
the loaves and fishes, are willing to become
menial servitors to their folmet followers.
Antimasonry being thus floored, we must
Dow look to the whigs, and use the utmost
vigilance to counteract their schemes. Let
but a ticket be nominated that will come
mend the confidence and call forth the en
erlies of the party. and victory is certain.

An Alligator Storm—Charleston a-,
gainst the world.—A late Charleston Mer ,
cury gives the following account of the
thunder storm which brought down an alli
gator:—"The thunder storm of Sunday
night—the winding up of one of the most I
oppressive days ever inflicted on mortal
man—was really terrific. The whole fir.
mament growled thunder and shot light
ning. It was blinding to look out, and at
frequent intervals the thunderbolts burst
overhead with a power that shook the sol.
idest structures—then rolled with angry
growlinge along the wings of the storm.
St. Paul's church was struck, but not seri•
ously injured. Beyond this we have heard
of no casualty, unless we may account as
such the raining down of an alligator about
two feet long, at the corner of Wentworth
and Anson streets. We have not been
lucky enough to find any one who saw
him come down, but the important fact
that he was there, is incontestible—and as
he could'nt have got there any other way
it ws decided unanimously that he rained
down. Besides, the beast had a look of
wonder and bewilderment about him, that
showed plainly enough that he must have
gone through a remarkable experience.—

The Corn Law and Farm Laborers
In a speech recently made by Mr. Cobden,
he said chat it was contended by some, that
the Corn Laws were for the Lenefi of the
farm laborer; but his experience enabled
him to state most positively, that the ag•
ricultural laborer recieved the lowest wa.
gee of all, and thnt the very lowest wages
were received in purely agricultural dis
tricta, the wages of agricultural laborers
increasing in proportion to their proximity
to inanufacturing towns. He himself em•
ployed 600 people, and the lowest wages
he paid were I2s. a week for such work as
an agricultural laborer was competent to.

A Thrilling Scene
At Wallace's Concert recently given In I
Baltimore about 1000 persons were pres- 7

tremendous that it came near producing a
fatal result. The plastering of the ceiling
was loosened by one "round," and the
stucco work around one of the chandeliers
giving way, it fell to the floor with a ca

The language that the Gazette now con

that was used by it and every federal pa

no objection to a;eandidate's having a repu•

ly censurable in them when elected to
strive to preserve a character for honesty
by pursuing an honed course. "Honest

the Whigs well enough, but "honest John
