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

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.

REPEAL 1N BALTIMORE.-A most entlimiia:tir and
overwhelming Repeal meeting was held in Baltimore
on the evening of the 21st. Col. R. M. JOHNSON
was present, and delivered a stirring and eloquent ad

presented with a handsome silver mounted hickory cane
by the Association. The Sun says that it was the
most enthusiastic gntlmring of Repeaters ever hell in
Baltimore.
riP The Democrats of Beaver are in a snarl about
their paper. The Patriot has passed from the hands
of Mr. Shortlefr. who promises to procure a new press

our friends in Beaver. end we hope they will take some
steps to fix matters in such a manner as will settle
these family disputes for the future.

Calve, of the French Theatre. The Diamond states
that on liorarrival in the steamer Neptune at that city,
from New York, she left the boat in a complete glow of
hilariuu s spirits. It is said she met a cool and sudden
check to her sensibilities, and those interested in her,
fear that her sensitiveness has led to an unhappy end.
RIOT.—The students of St. Joseph's College, Ky.,
took it into their heads to have a regular row and

DtED.--On the 6th ult., at Mobile, Ala., Mu. DAN
. .
lEL JEFFREY, engineer, a native of La xrenceyille, near
Pittsburgh, Pa., in the 24th year of his age.
His aged father and friends who are left to mourn
his early loss, may console themselves with the reflec
tion that his remains were borne to their resting place
by his friends who loved him fur the big, manly heart
that dwelt within a bosom that knew no guile.
That he died so young, saddens those who loved him;
(relatives and friends,) but so he died, with a wish to
realise the grandeur of futurit, as compared with the
unsatisfactory imaginings of this. It is to be hoped
that he marches onward to fruition of good, unclogged
by the vices which often mar the journey of those oho
go fearfully to answer for the "deeds done in the body,'
rather than lift with an unfaltering hand the drend veil
hidden here from our hereafter. "Rcquitscat in pace."

It is not a little singular that the numerous friends of

it has done, without bringing bis name in bold re

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.
