Her carriage is frequently seen for hours at the door tt the great public institution for the relief of the dis tressed: she is indefatigable in rag-fairs—she never omits presiding in all the dignity of full blown beauty at one of the best filled tables in all the charitable ba zaarsa—ber name heads every list of s ubscribers to the building of churches, or for the getting out of missions —she has educated several young clergymen at her own expense—has adopted and portioned vivo yountr, girls, who, under het influence, went out as missiona ries to die in foreign lands; and, in short. she is a model of excellence and liberality. Do you doubt that Mrs. Blazon is a most worthy and respectable member of so ciety? Let us inquire of her servants—of the humble dependants upon het bounty—of the poor, whom she conscientiously relieves by furnishing them with em ployment. Let us inquire of them if she be truly the 'kind and generous benefactress whose steps glide soft ly around the couch of sickne 35, whose smile sheds sun shine over the squalor of poverty, whose hand is as rea dy to do as her heart is prompt to impel to deeds of good. Let us see whether her wealth dues not afford her the power, as she has the will, to grind the face of the poor—to wring from the hands of penury the means of purchasing cheaply her r eputation for charity. Let us ask her to point out the wretched abode of her bus lma's children—the offspring of that woman who into sa ved her early years from beggary. Let us look the suffering hearts of those who should now be enjoy ing a portion of that wealth which :heir father's widow lavishes in charity. Lie us read in their blighted faces the misery, the privation, nay, the. vice which poverty has brought upon them: and then we may determine the claims of the excellent Mrs. Blazon to that respect ability which the world so willingly accords. What would Colonel Hearty say to one who should doubt his right to a domination in the region of respect• ability? Is there a man in the country who dresses bet ter?—who drives finer horses?—wilo drinks better wine?—who gives more luxuriant entertainments?— who throws open his house more freely to the claimsof hospitality? Why the Colonel is the very model of a fine, frank, free-hearted, cordial, whole-souled fellow —whose brilli ant qualities are so dazzling that we can not see those dull and homely virtues which other men prize. We like him too much to analyze his chatac ter he tells us a story so graphically, sings a sang with such a grace, pays a c ompliment so delicately, and withal is so courteous, so kindly, so affectionate in his manners, that we should be most unreasonable to ex pect any gold beneath a soil so full of flowers. The Colonel is a most devoted father, and has succeeded by dint of adroitness and finesse, in marrying s pretty daughters to advantage, while his sons have hi all been provided foe in the army and navy by the aid of hi; Pd. ents for good fellowship. Is not the Col. a respecta ble, as well as amiable, member of society? We need not remember that his wife died years since broken hearted, from his neglect and ill-treatment—that his aged mother was left to wear out le‘r life amid the cold charity of strangers—that his eldest son perished in a hospital in a foreign land while the father was staking at a gaming table the money which was required to bring the boy to his home. We need not reral the three sev eral bankruptcies of the much pitied Colonel—we need not specify the trust money of the widow and orphan which have been swallowed up in these failures, and which have never sincebeen restored to their beggared owners—we need not listen to the daily dups which haunt the door of the man, who lived for years on " interests of his debts." The Colonel is a fine fellow; and, while he ves in a three story house, drinks cham pagne, and giv li es dinners, he is certainly a respectable man. Reader, do you judge as the world judges? Do you u value the tinsel of outward seeming, beyond thefine of real worth? Remember that every time you offer the hand of fellowship to a man you despise--every time you make one amid the crowds which throng the drawing room of a WOMarl whom your purer soul con temns, you 'are aiding - them in the establishment of their claims to respect; silencing within your bosom that truthful monitor, which is n sort of instinct to the soul —<ruardin Er us from evil contact, and attracting us ever to the beautiful and good. THE NEW YORK FORGERIES. Ragee and wife, charzed with assisting young Saun ders in his forgeries, were examined on Thursday and Friday last. The examination was quite private, but the Expresssacs: — We u nderstand that Ragee denies all knowledge of, or participation in, the. forgeries. The wife testified that the money was left at the house about 2 o'clock on the day of the forgery. It was enclosed in a wrapper and directed to her in Saunders's hand writing. She knew from whom it came, and said nothing to her hus band about it, till the Monday after the forgeries, (which occurred on Thursday ) He wished her to give it up but she refused, saying she would wait till Saun ders got back and let him return it himself to his em ployers. After the officers called upon her and asked her questions, she became alarmed lest they might search the house and find it, and suppose that she and her husband were guilty, and then disposed of the mon ey as has been already stated. Her husband afterwards suggested the prophet of getting the box again, and returning the money, ut she would not permit it, saving, as before, it was better to wait till Saunders returned, and make him give it back. The black woman disclosed the secret,which led to the arrest of herself and husband. as already known. Ragee and his wife are natives of one of the French West India Islands. and came here last December with letters of introduction to the German Consul; they are exceedingly genteel in their deportment and manner. He is about 24 years of age, and the wife 22. They boarded, at the time of the arrest, in a house kept by three highly respectable ladies in Canal street, one of whom is the widow of the late Henry Ulshoeffer, (broth. er of theJadge) who gave them a most excellent charac ter for eorrec4leportment and general good conduct.— Ragee, we believe, has not been engaged in any business since his arrival in New York. Ragee was fully committed. The examination then proceeded .in relation to the charge against the wife. --------- tar.

B FOSTER, of Bradford r"The Advocate has a long article vindicating its candidate from our charge that he is a super annuated politician; and very complacently concludes that "he is sure of all the electors over-56 years of age"—thu; inferring that- all the -"old fellows" will make common cause with Judge B. in order to prove "their own capacity for civil office." We are sorry to say that even if the elderly part of the voters could be imbued with a sort of esprit da corps that would in duce them to go for one of their number in order to vindicate their rights and capacities; the whig candi date would be effectually headed, for Jude Witstas is, webelieve, somewhat older than Judge 8., though tolook at the two men together few would suspect it. The Advocate, however, might easily have perceiv ed that we alluded not to the age of their candidate as it mightbe *shown by the calendar—but to the fresh ness and vigor of their respective capacities to serve the constituency of this county in that important field, the Congress of the United States. Judge Witittms has taken an active and prominent part in state and national politics ever since the year' 1818. He has devoted to political disquisitions al most the whole energy of his mastermind, and:wheth er in or out of the public service, he has exercised ve ry considerable influence over the political movements of his section and of the country - tt large. It is this sort of training that makes a man most efficient as a le gislator, and enables him to serve his fellow-citizens with credit to himself and valuable results to them. Judge BRACKENItIDGs, although it cannot be denied that he has had a considerable share of office, was ne ver strictly a politician. He chiefly devoted himself to law and to literature, and but occasionally to politi cal matters. From 1823, when he was not reappoint ed Judge in Florida, he has lived in comparative re tirement till 1840, when the whips accidentally tho' t of him to fill a vacancy in Congress. During his whole career he never was prominent in politics.—and in the long interval we speak of (from '2B to '4O) he would necessarily grow "rusty" and an tiquated in his political acquirements, and would not keep up with the progress of political events. In view of these facts, we drew our comparison be tween these rival candidates—and we repeat the opi nion that the result of the voting will prove that a ma jority of the frcernm of Allegheny county agree with us • as to their respective merits. 100 j 111101 THE DELEGATE SYSTEM --AGAIN ..---IR our paper of Monday last, we indulged in a few suicturos on this rot ten and corrupt system, and are glad to perceive that the article has had the effect of convincing oar neigh bors of the Post and Age of,the necessity of instituting an investigation into the abuses which have crept into it, and at once demanding their immediate reform.— Chronicle.

In the towns given in the table, he stands 900 votes better than Fairfield did in 1910, when the ma jority in the state against Mr. F. was but 163. The returns for senators and representatives are fa vorable to the democrats so far as a choice has been effected. There appeals to be little or no doubt that Ia sufficient democratic majority will be found in both ,ranches to elect Anderson, (if not chosen by the peo ple) and elect all state officers. In Penobscot county there is not a whig representa tive elected, and io Pi seataquis county not one represen tative of either party, so far as heard from!

DUBLIN Mr. Weed, of the Albany E /ening, Journal, having returned to the Irish Capital, from his British tour, writes thus: "We are detained here for the friends who went by coach through Wales; but it is no hardship to pass a day or two in Dublin. Your only cause of regret here is, that a city with every element of prosperity within and around it should exhibit nothing but the perishing monuments of its manufactures and its commerce.— Here is a population as intelligent, as enterprising, as industrious, as patriotic and virtuous, as any that lives; and yet their canvass is scarcely seen upon the Atlan tic; their looms and shuttles stand still; you neither hear the hammer, click, nor see the anvil spark; the Mar iner lingers despondingly about the quays; the Me chanic seeks in vain for employment; the Shopmen sits listlessly behind his deserted counter; and the Agriculturist, though he causes the bountiful earth to bring forth its gifts, sees the fruits and the fatlings of his toil and his care rapaciously devoured by his op- pressors Who, therefore, in view of these wrongs, and with a knowledge. of the causes that produce them, can fail to "sympathize" keenly with Irishmen! And above all, what AMERICAN who remembers the generous alacrity with which Irishmen shed their blood in the ' two wars we have been compelled to wage for the achievement and maintenance ofour National existence, can withhold his prayers for the disenthralment of Ire land! It is consoling to see and to know, as I do, tivt the cause of REPEAL is acquiring a moral power and energy that will tell with prodigious effect upon those who presumptuously threaten TO PUT IT DOW' BY FORCE!
