ejectment had beefs served upon a cottage possessed of many comforts. A very pale fragile woman `was seated upon a substantial clump bedstead with her hand closely pressed against her side, as if in pain, while tears hewed down her cheeks. Chickens of va rious sizes were crowded in an ancient coop, and a stout little pig had a sotigan fixed to his legs, to pre pare him form road. Stools and iron pots, a dress er, dell, and wooden ware, were scattered about, and a serioas looking cat was seated on the top of a potato haskot, wcif,:uncertain whether the esteem she was heidinwould compel her friends to forego the super stition.'ancicarry her with them little thinking that .they had no alternative but to exchange the free air fora wretched room in wretched Navin, which it was I mot likely they could long keep. 'lt's Larkins' own fault, I must sat that, when the lease of his place dropthe wouldn't take !No' for an answer, but would keep possession, and I wonder at Ms doing so, and he so well learned, and bright at ev rything, said one of the men. 'My own fault!' repeated a strong, haggard looking person advancing, while the group of countrymen to whom he had been speaking made way for him. 'Who says it's my own fault?—yout--air, I was horn under that thatch, that now you stand on; my father and grandfather held the bit of land, 'and we paid for it at the highest, and to the last farthing.' `That ye did, poor man—God help you!' said many evoice in tones of the deepest sympathy. with every hard-working soul on the estate, gut notice to quit, because the agent wants it to be cleared of men, that it may feed beasts. I had acted all my lifelike a man, and I had the feelirts of one; I loved every stick of them blackened rafters. My father's own hands made the bed that poor broken hearted wo man is sitting on: on it I was born, and un it she bro't me five children. The bees that are now singing in the bushes came from the ould stock; and my father's mother. that they are bringing out now, has sat upon that stone bench for sixty-four years.' A very venerable woman had just been carried thro' the flakes of falling thatch into the open air, she seem ed hardly conscious of what was going forward, and yet she gazed around her, and from one to another, with an anxious look. 'Well, we knowull that,' said the first speaker, 'and you ought to know that I'm only doing my duty, and you ought to have sense; the gentleman's land is his own, and if he'd rather feed cattle for the market than have the place broke up in little farms, sure it's his own land, not yours; be lets you take away every stick that you like.' 'The law, only a bastard law. after all, for the poor,' said Larkins, "gives me them." 'And he pays you for your crop.' 'And that he can't help, either.' 'And yet the granny there would not leave it till the reef was of. Sure any how the gentleman had a right to do wleit he liked with his own.' 'He had not!' exclaimed the peasant, firmly planting his foot on the ground, and unconsciously assuming an attitude that would have added dignity to a Roman senator., 'ln the sight and light of Almighty God, no man having plenty, has a right to say to another, 'Go out and starve—starve, as I shall, and all belonging to me; starve and beg, and beg and starve, till my bones whiten through my skin, and I die, as others in this country have done before me, on the road-0 my God! if he had given me a piece of mountain. or a piece of bog, and time to bring it round, I'd have work- ed, as I have done all my life—and that's saying enough—for it. Dees he call to mind, that the tenant's duty is to pay, and thelandlord's to protect? Does he say as a Christian, that may man has a right to turn over scores of his fellow creatures to starvation, when they are willing to be his slaves for fool and raiment? for what more have any of us? We lay by nothing, and have nothing to lay by; yet we pay our rent. Will any of you say that God intended that?' Then why the divil, Johnny Larkins, my jewel!' said a. tight concentrated fellow, tvaiking, up to the ex cited speaker, 'why don't you let us starve them all out at once! Sorra a better sport we'll desire, and its un der yer roof ye'd be now if yc had let us take just one good hearty fling at them.' never bruko the law in my life, James,' replied Larkins. 'Serra a better ye're off than them that did,' an swered James, stepping back in a moot discontented manner. Two women were comforting the poqr man's wife, in the best way they could, and another was busy e4 in adjusting a bed on a small car, upon which they intended to place the old woman, so as to remove her comfortably. The landlord's agents, in this apparently most unfeeling proceeding, seemed resolved not to de sist until the roof was entirely removed. 't wish, a /anuan . , ye'd be said and led by us,' urged one to Mrs. Larkins, who was rocking herself, as the wind rocks a tree that has been more than half uprooted. ' What good can staying here do you, deur? Sure ye'll stop with us as lore , as ye like before ye go into the close town, and yer ' breathing so bad, and ye in weak.' 'lf they had only let me die in it,' answered the young mother, whose weak. trembling voice recalled herchild's opinion so feelingly expressed a few minutes before— `that death was printed in her face'—' It wouldn't have been long. Where's the children?' ' Sure ye sent them away, they were crying so.' 'And where's Johnr the sight leaving your eyes that you cant see him ferenent you, dear?' answered the woman, at the lame time looking anxiously in her face. 'John, darling! she exclaimed fervently. In a mo ment. her husband was by her.side. There's a change over het?' whispered 'he woman to the young man who had proffered to take the law in his own hands.—' There's a change over her—run fur the priest if ye love your own soul.' Even the man who had been so busy with the roof ponsed, and the silence was only disturbed by the pro longed whistle of a blackbird. John, my blessing—my pride—the only love I ever sad—you'll forgive any hasty word I spoke, won't ye, my jewel?' 'Ye never did, darlin,' answered the poor follow; ' but what's over you, dear? what ails you? What ails her neighbours? Great Queen of Heaven, what ails my wife" Whisht, dear!' she said, and raising her hand to his face, she pressed his cheek still closer to her own. I've been sickly a long time, John, and was going fast; better I should die before we got into the town—l must lave died then, you know. Your fact is very thin, darlin, already. Oh may the hoty saints lave ye as ye are, that I may know ye in Heaven! But, I would any way—spake to me my bird of blessings!— kits me dear; and let me lny my head on ycr bare breast. Neighbors, yell look to him, and the poor motherless children. Oh then has any Christian sent for a priest, ; that I may not die in my sins!' ' It's only a faintness, my jewel,' said the husband ; it's itothing else—fetch her a drop of water.'• She thank eagerly, and then nestled her head as a child would in its mother's arms 'Oh I was sinful,' murmured the man, 'to rebel while my angel was left me—l'll never say a word again ii the Lord spares her—pray for her, good friends.' There was not, to use a homely phrase, ' a dry eye' in the circle that formed round them; even the minis ters of a law as cruel as its enforcers, sympathized with• the poor man's agony. Suddenly the old woman, who had been forgotten in the fresh excitement, push ing the little crowd tattle right and left with her long lean arms, stood Like a spectre in the midst, her white hair streaming front beneath her black hood, ar.d the wrinkles-4n her sharp face thickened by a maniac smile ask.yer pardon,' she said, coartesying as deeply as the infirmities of extreme ege would permit—' I ask l yer pardon, bat I don't rigittly understand this—is it a wedding--or a' berr'in g?

PHILLIPS & SMITH, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS PITTSBURGH, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27 COVERS Oh MAKING.—The democrats of our county appear to have turned their attention to this matter in earnest, arid although some who wish to become their teachers suppose they do not possess the requisite in fbrmation to enable them to express their preferences at: this time, vet we think that the communications that have appeared in our paper for some days past, show that the people have not only thought of the matter, but that they are ready to act at any moment, independent of dictation from any quarter. The democrats of this contr . ) , take the right view of the difficulties to be encountered in the next Guberna torial nomination. It is clear to them, that there are but two prominent candidates, Messrs. SHUSH and MuHLENttunci, and that one of them will be chosen by the Convention. They regard it as the greatest folly for counties to instruct their delegates to vote for local favorites, who have no chance for the nomina tion, at the risk of loosing the only candidate who can thoroughly unite the vote of the party throughout the state.

DANIEL STURGEON • It is not a little singular that the numerous friends of our distinguished Senator, Dr. STIMGCOS, should have permitted the canvass for Governor to proceed as far as it has done, without bringing bis name in bold re lief before the people, and it can only be accounted fur fro n the circumstance that a kind of battle royal is attempted to be got up between two prominent politi cians of the East and West, in the hope of drawing off the public attention from the other candidates, and turning it exclusively upon these two individuals. Be ing of opinion that in point of character, consistency, talents and principle, Dr. Sturgeon is nut inferior to any other individual who has been named for the office, we strongly recommend him to the public consideration. Dr. Sturgeon is a western man, (if that should be deem ed a "sine qua non," as it teems to be by some,) hay leg resided in the West, not one or two years, or tern porarily, in order that he might hail from the West, as occasionmight serve, but hus always been a resident in Fayette county, except when called elsewhere by his public duties. Dr. Sturgeon has served in many elevated stations in the Commonwealth, and has comported himself in all, in such a manner as conduced greatly to his own cred it and the public welfare. tie was for many years it the State and National Legislatures, and acted for n long period as Sate Treasurer, in which last office, du• ring the laments Buckshot wa r, he evinced great firm ness of purpose, and singular intrepidity and prudence, as without these the Treasury would, in all probabili ty, have been given over to pu'ilic plunder, such bay*. been the intention of the leaders in that atrocious con spiral.), against the public liberties, and the most infa mous means having been used to intimidate Dr. Stur geon into a surrenderof the Treasury into theirhands,oi subjecting himself to their illegal orders. Unless we aro disposed entirely to lose sight of the imtriotiarn dis played on that occasion, and the numerous instances 0 talent and usefulness exhibited by Dr. Sturgeon on ma. ny others, we shall look to him as the %% estern candi date for theollice, and with a little resolution and ad dress, can render him the nominee of the Conventior. The notion that Allegheny county must have a candi date is an absurd one, and will probably be frowned down by the counties around us; but if the democracy of this county, governed by a high and liberal spirit should place in nomination a man like Dr. Sturgeon. they would gain the confidence of the adjacent counties reconcile the whole state to their views, and confer au essential and enduring' benefit on the public.
