The hero is a proem Courted by his master's daughter, and liiseonregeandtledcrnii nation towards the close of fhe eventful history prove that his discretion and distrust at the corn mnreinr?nt were caused by no lack of manly rpirit About nine months airo, Mr. Ohnrlns Brook, a wrnhhy Amerimn nimhmt came to settle with his family, a wife, and two daugh ter nt Mirfield. Among the servants rmplny ?d ns MbK)UT, or occasional groom, was Benja min Hall, for whom ihe ekler Mima Brook, twenty-three years! age, conceived an anient passion. Whenever be was at wnrk in the yard, she watched him from one oftho windows; and she never left it until he had finished his tusk. The youth did not suspect her feelings, but was often heard to complain ol her conduct, because, he said "il seemed as if he could not do hi duty without beinsr watched." At length Mits Brook employed a more direct lan guage than that of the eye; she contrived to im part her feelings to Benjamin, and to inspire him with a turn of affection : overcoming some scrupli s which he had entertained she persua ded him to consent to their marriage; and she furnished him on Saturday fortnight, with the means to furnish alicenso. For the sequel we borrow the words of the Jrtds Times : "On Sunday evening, theday following, Miss Brook took an airing in the phaeton alone, her Adonis being the driver : here the license was du!y conned over, and it was finally arranged thai the marriage should take place on Tues day, the second instant. Early in the morning of that memorable day, they accordingly arose : Benjamin, with his fair one's assistance, prepa red n horse and gig from his master's stables, into which they sprang like lightning, and drove off about four o'clock, by a circuitous route to the am-Wit village ofBihtrnl, unporceived by any of the family or servants. They nrri ved nt the Bl.ick Bull Inn a little before seven o'clock, where they remained till eight ; they then proceeded to church ; and the marriage was duly solemnized by the Rev. W. lleald, the vicar. After the ceremony was over, they iigain returned to the Black Bull Inn. In the menu time, the family at Mirfield arose as u snal, and seated themselves at the breakfast ta ble ; but the young lady's place was empty: a maid was therefore despatched to her lodging room to fetch her; but instead ol bringing Miss Brook, she brought the following laconic iiote from her dressing table : 'Dear Mamma pray don't be alarmed, I am only gone to get mar ried.' This of course put the whole house in a ferment ; and Messrs. George Mitchell (of the Yew Trees,) Fearneides, and Fairburn, and other neighbors, were called in, and set inquest of the fugitives. Birstal, being about three miles distant, was thought to be the destination of the lovers. Mr. Mitchell arrived first on horseback ; and ptocceding to the Black Bull Inn, found '.hem in the travellers' room. The bridegroom bid Tiim ''good morning, and obser ved, had yon been lierehalf an hour ago, you would have just been in time for the wedding.' What !' said he in a rage, 'is it over?' and dart ing out of the room, went to the vicar to ascer tain the fact. Mr. tleald assured him that it was true: remarking 1 have only jumI returned from the church.' 'And cannot you then,' re plied Mr. Mitchel, 'undo what you have done?' 'No sir.' observed Mr. Ilea Id, smiling; 'if I could do so I should have plenty of work.' Mr. M. Iheu returned to the Inn, where he found the other gentleman, who had arrived in a phaeton. An attempt was then made to part tho whom 'God had joined together,' by gi ing the bridegroom into custody on the charge of bteuling the horse and gig. This was ton much for the lady's equanimity. She then stood lortli, and said in a tone of greut anger, 'Xo, gentlemen, Benjamin is now my husband : lie was then my lather's servant and in taking the horse and gig lie only obeyed my soiuiimude.' Then, turning to her husDund, and presenting him with her gold watch and purse, she said, Mlere, take these : they might as well charge you with stealing them.' The charge ;hen of course, fell to the ground ; and all par ies for several hours sat in sullen silence, save j he sighs and sobings of the afflicted lady. At ength Benjamin, whom wo shall call Mr. Hall, use and said to his wife and his brother (a mi tor, who had been engaged to give tbeilady in narriuge.) 'Come, let us now go Wit.' Up n which Mr. Fearnsides exclaimed in a fran tic manner, 'if you attempt to move, I will shoot i'ou ;' and 'if you attempt to do that,' said Mr. (hll's brother, I will knock yi down, ooom midating his fist totlie expression ; and again ill became silent. While tlnngs remained in his tlatc, the young lady's father (who had nly just returned from Liverpool) arrivod at he inn. Upon his entering the room, Mrs. lull immediately rose, and courteying, seized inn by the hand; and, after complaining bitterly j if the Conductor the individuals present st.iteil j ii r warm aliuchiuetit to iier Benjamin. Alter! ilrs. I lull had done spuking, all again beruuie j ilent for a considerable tune. At length, m.iiii elrtiliinents were ordered, and a mote cwiieih tory policy adopted. It was ultimately and iiuiually agreed that they thonld all return to ilirfield, and see if they could not accoiiiuii ate matters. Accordingly, at night, the horses, ' Ineton and gig, were brought out, and the par V started oft' for Mirfield ; Mr. Hall being be ween two of the gentlemen in the plueton, and fra. Hall being between the other two in the ig. They arrived at Mirfield, at ten o'llock, nd the pha-ton turned up the road leading to l'r. Brook's, residence. At this moment, Mr. Hall turned his head, and perceived that the gig, containing his lady, was proceeding at a rapid rate on the rotul towards Huddersfleld ; upon which he sprang fVom between his com panions, and crossed the field to overtake the gig, and as he approached he called out 'whoa, whoa !' and the horse, knowing the Voice of its former indulgent keener, immediately stood still and obstinately refused to budge. The young lady's keepers, hearing Mr. Hall ap proach, they took her from the gig into an ad joining house, (Mr. Shaw's;) her indignant husband following, and fighting his way through the door and passage of the house. They however, managed to cause him to be ob structed and detained while they got her through the window, screaming pitiouely, and placed her again in the gig, and drove of!. In hnlf an hour, Mr. Hall was turned out of the house; and knowing that his wife had re cently been on a visit to Mr. Kiiner's, at the Carr House, Iludderfirld, he concluded that they had conveyed her thither. He therefore proceeded, on foot, and arrived at the Carr House a little after midnight. He repeatedly paced the front ofthe house, and was perceived. Soon after two o'clock on Wednesday morn ing, a gig, containing two men and a female, drove from the yard ; and Mr. Hall ran and sei zed the horse by the reins. Two of thellud dersfield watchmen were called and feed to take him off, and hold him while the gig got a way. They did so; but two other individuals coming up, and being informed ofthe cause of his being detanied, they attacked the watch men; a scuffle ensued, and ultimately Mr. Hall was released, when he immediately set off in the direction the gig had taken. He, however, never overtook them, nor was he able to trace them through any ofthe toll-gates; and it has since been ascertained '.hat the female in the gig was not his wife, but only one of Mr. Kiiner's servants, who was placed there in order to decoy him from the premises. It was alsodiscovered that a chaise conveyed Mrs. Hall from Hud dersfield to Manchester, at midnight, on Tues day week, when il was observed that the indi viduals who had charge of her had hard work to i pacify her. This circumstance reached the ears nf Mr. Hall, and he started at 11) o'clock on Friday night from Mirfield by omnibus, to Hudderfield, and from thence, in company with two friends, by gig to Manchester. They then proceeded, by the first train on Saturday morning, to Li verpool. Owing, however to his inexperience and mismanagement, he returned home on Wednesday night last, without having accom plished the object of his mission. An eminent solicitor, however, has now taken his case in hand ; and it the young lady is not produced in a few days, it is more than probable that legal proceedings will be commenced against the par ties implicated in her abduction. We under stand that the young lady possesses from jfjl"), 1)00 to JC'JO.OOO, bequeathed to her by a decea sed uncle in America, and independently of her lather. It is supposed by those most compe tent to form an opinion, that she is either in the Lie of Man, or lias been shipped to Ameri ca. Her relations, however, reluse to give any information ; consequently it remains an ab solute mystery. Outrage, Itobrrtrs, JLc.

The term high tariff, wo never made use of, because of itself, it has no meaning, for who can define the limit, when it i high or low. We, however, predicted, and advocated ihe paasage of a laritT, that would protect our manufacturer and mechanic, from foreign pauper laborer, and such a bill did pasa, and was anppoited by the whole Pennsylvania iVIegation in Cong ess. On the o. ther hand, the O.izetle, and a few of its kindred free trade print, advocalid the free trade, horizontal or 20 per cent. InrilTT. which, Mr, liuchannan in hia speech denounced a a most iniiiitom and unjust measure, and one that must ruin the manufac turers, mechanic and lultorera of lYnnxylvunia. In support of this wo refer to ihe speech of Mi. Ducbannan. In reeard to the price of wheal, we ay that more wheat ha been shipped to England since the pava ige of Ihe tanlf, than during the same I me, for several year past. The truth is, our free trade advocates, have been most awfully swamped. You must try it again, neighbor, but stick to the text. (JTj" The Sunbury Gazette of last week, in giving an account of a meeting, held at Northumberland, in favor of Wm. Foray ih, aay a. that the meeting nominated John W. Miles for Prothonotary, and Edward Oyster f Register and Pecoider. Now ao far aa the nomination of Mr. Milea and Oyater ia concerned, the Gazette is entirely miataken ; no thing waa dune, in regard to the nomination of Pro thonotary and Itegi-ler snd Hecorder. The meeting having been got up by Mr. Fr th's select friends. they i f rouisi'i d s ipprov. d of the nomination of Jee O. Morton, a S.nator, I ut did nothing in regard to Ihe olfices nf Prothonotary and liegUter and Recorder, and will, we presume, as a m iller of cour-e, support S, D. Joidan and E. Y. Bright for those offices, as all must admit, lhat they were fairly nominated, and are the regular candidates of the democialic party. David V Lake If this gentleman had neer been in favor of forming a ticket, hi opposition lo it now would not have been surptising; bul he endeavored to have him-elf placed on the Democratic ticket, ft he par ty candidate for Sheriff, snd that too hy bargain and sale, very dishonorable mesne to aay the lea-t, and it is the height of inconsistency for him now lo cry nut, "let us break do njhe Ticket system." He was very willing to avail himelf ofthe advantage, which a nomination by the Democratic! conven tion would have given him, and it is very selfi.h snd contemtable in him t decry tha very mean that he would have gladly used to put himself into oll'ice. Three venrs since, Mr. Lake r ime out in a publication, and rontiadicled a report lb t be was Ron j; io supp rl John r'amsworlh, in opoition lo Henry (io.sler, who was ihe candidate on the tiiktt, and said in addition, tlist he slwsys tluck to the ticket, snd advised every dcinociat to do the same. Let every Democrat take hia sdvice. He followed it then, let us follow it uuw. If it ws good sdvice three yeara ao when applied lo ano ther, it ia alill good, and kl hiin'bave ths benefit .f it. This shuffling inconsistency of Mr. Lske. shows lhat he will lie any thing for lbs sske of olfice a ticket man or an anli. ticket man. ju-t aa uite hi in ternet.

Lake, is still travelling through the county, singing and teaching other to sing. It is aaid that he selects the most lively song, just as a cowaid whistles tho toudeat tune to keep uphU courage. Whistling, is however, no proof of courage, nor singing of Democracy. David will chinge hi tune after next Turtdiy, and ws shrill then call upon, if not otherwise engaged, to hum for uathe Dead March, or A Jeste Fiddles, air which will to doubt accord wiih his feeling. Every bo dy that has heard David sing, admit that he is a moat excellent songster, but Ihey can't understand exactly how that qualifies him for the office of Sherifl. If the girla had vote, David would no doubt get a great many, for it is said that a song win a woman's favor sooner than almost any thing else ; but unfortunately for him ha ha sober, thinking democrats to deal with, and in their eyes his new wsy of electioneering will only render him cot.tr mptihte, Qjf A Qcraa. Is the Wm. Forsyth, who is a candidate for the Senate, ngnintt the tirtetl, the Wm.

Itul they may console themselves with the n flection, that their praise will benefit Mr. Forsyth a little aa their puerile attacks injured his rival for the nomination in this county. Something to bt Rrmrmbfrr J. Let every Democrat, when he goea to the Poll, remember that Wm. Forsyth, the volunteer can didate fr Ihe Senate, against the regu'arly nomi nated Democratic candidate, is s Dibccto in the Northumberland Ban:, and that now, while the Bancs are in a state of Scartssio, is not the time to elect a Bank director to the Senate. Remem ber if Bank directors sre to lepi-late for us, we w ill never have a biscmptioh ofarxcit rVMiNTs. Mr. Forsyth Asainst t lie Ticket. Notwithstanding the information we gave our readers last week, we learn that Wm. Forayth, has since determined to be a Cand dite for the Sen te, against the regularly nomin .ted Democratic c.imti date, Jesse C. Morton. Win, Forsyth, i the lat peison that ought to volunteer agiint the tick. I Such a course in him, is an outrgn upon the De mocrscy of the Di-trict. Ha nomination in this county, as we I ae repcatrdly asserted and na of ten proved, w as brought about l y bargain and sate, on ihe part of himself, and several other candidates and by the secret treachciy of one of the delegates. His nomination was as much of a surprise to the people of Ihe county, as it ws in i ppo iiion to their wishes. The conferee foil, thi county, d hered to him to the last, which they would not hve done if the wUhei of the Democracy of ihe county had been regarded, nrcon-ulled in the l.-a-U Thai the conferee from the other counties would pre fer another person waa to be expected, and wa e vinced by them from the commencr ment el Ihe conference, and if there is any dissatisfaction at ihe result, it is owing to the obstinacy, of Mr. For syth's conferees. He ha nn right to complain. The nomination of Mr. Horton, was fiitly mule and there can !c no objection on that ground. What I peculiar capacity then hn Mr. Forsyth for the station be seeks with so much pertinacity ? He I has none. Hi education and qual. fixation, are very ordinary indeed, and not such to fit him for the olfice of Senator. The only time be was ever known in the politic of this county, waa when he wa a candidate for Sheriff, on the Federal ticket, and defeated. He waa originally, and for a long time a Federalist, ardent in tbe support of lhat party, bul having a great hankering for office, he has lately crept into the Democratic parly of (his county, snd now like all renegadoe he i willing to divide and defeat, if he cannot conquer. Ha I tilt s frdera'ist at heart, but a democrat for the aake of office. He knows thst he cannot I elect ed, but he is willing to divide ihe party, and se cure the election ofthe Whig randidale, Mr. Quay, of Clinton county, who haa been nominated by the Whigs, since they learned that Forsyth would run against the ticket. Let every Democrat stick to the ticket, and defeat his selfish purpose. Our ascendency in the next Senate, depends upon the election of a democrat from this district. The best interests of our country sre intimately connected with the triumph of Democratic principle, and let it not be said lhat the heretofore true and ateadfat Democracy of old NorhumWIan I contributed in ike least lo mar that triumph and divide and defeat the democratic party. Lay aside then all preju- dicea all feeling of dissatisfaction; go lo the Polls and vole for the regularly nominated Democratic candidate Jxsti C. Hobto. The Reading Gazette, gives sn account of a very narrow escape of a gentleman and lady who in attempting to cross Ihe Kail Road, near lhat place, with a horse and wagon, when the Loco native, which wa coming from Potlavilla wiih e qusl speed, came in contact with them : "The Engine waa under a full head of stesm, and for the distance lhat intervened entirely beyond the control of the Engineer.

Altogether, it was one of the most Auir breadth escape thai we ever read of in the whole chapter of Kail Koad accidents, that have come under our notice."

Want of room this week, prevents us giving an extended notice. Cj We invite Ihe attention of our resders to the following extrsct of on address, of three nf the sen atorial conferees, published in Ihe last Lycoming Gszette, giving an account of the difficulties attend ing the last nomination of Senator. Afer giving an account of the numerous efforts made by the conferees, lo effect a nomination al the first and sp rond meetings, which ws prcven'ed, s le'y by the imperturbable obstinacy of the conferees from this j county, they proceed to lato the result of the I third meeting, when the conferees from this county, still continued their disorennising c rure, and when every thing indicated, another scpjrn ion without a nomination : "Judge Crawford bad hie four votes ; Mr. Burn ides bis two, and Mr. For-yth his two. Il is true, this vole, as rrsccls Judge Crawford and Mr. Burneides, was not slwsys tbe same the friends of each gentleman occaMonly cisting their votes for aomcoiher peison; but Ihe conferees from Noi ihumlierlarid supported Mr. F'orsyth throughout, manifested Ihe most illiberal conduct in a Confer ence purporting to represent the Democracy of foul unquestionable counties. There is little use in a conference, where its member assume a stubborn obstinacy in adhering lo their own views, and cer tainly ifauch a course is commendable, a wooden m m would m ke s very popular conference. But to the subject. Il I einit apparent that no nomina tion could le made, unless (he rhoici fell upon a new man, and aware of Ihe wi lingness of Meis. Crawford and Burn-idc lo waive their claims, as good Democrat, lining more at heart the succes of principle than the gratification of self, the con feree from Clinton, Lycoming and Centre, e- pressed to lhoe of Northumberland, their readi- ness not onlv to withdraw the namea of their can- didates, in order to effect a nomination, but that they would also give the candidate to Northumberland county, and further, would unite upon any NEW MAN that Mr. Forsyth and his friends hould se lect. In making ihis nffer, they considered them selves a having conceded much more for tbe sue cess of the party, than doty tequired at their hands; bul ripecting a geueroua response from their Nor thumberland friend, and induging tbe hope thai ihey had afforded the opportunity of an honerable compromise, they were willing lo make the sacri fice. Bul iuatead of this otfer finding favor with Mr. Forayth and his friends, it wa indignantly rejected, and we were told in effect that we must either nominate Mr. Forsyth, or do worse. Indeed, one of the conferees fro n Nortliumlierland, went so far as t inform the confeiees in writing, that hia course in adhering to Mr. Forsyth, under any and all circumstances, was approved by his conMitu ents, and that they would agree to Ihe selection of no olher man, either in or out ofthe county, but would run and elect Forsyth "let witU will op. post." Such language we believe wa entirely un- authorized and Eratutlous, but it will serve to illu- irate the position in which ihe other conferees found themselves plsced. Believing that the De- mocracy of Noithumberland waa not ao blinded to their own interests ss to refuse the office of Sens- tor among them, and that they were willing, they could not gel their first choice, that the nomi. nation ahould fall on some other worthy citizen, and there are many in that county, the conferee from Lycoming and Clinton united in support of Gen. Hammond, and aome four or five votes in succession gave him roca ofthe eight voteaof Ihe conference. Either of Ihe Northumberland confer ees might have nominated him, and il waa also in their power on one or two occasions to have nom inated Mr. Hegins, nf Sunbury, Thi they declb ned doing, ami aa if the euceee of f.deialism iu the District wa more preferable to them, than the rice- lion of any other man except Mr. Forsyth, they peremptorily left the room, ordered out their vehicle, put on their overcoats, and were shout leaving for home, when a nniorilv of confereea united in the choice of a candidate. Another meeting was had, snd upon tbe fust ballot, JESSE C. HORTON, Esq., of Northumberland county, declared duly nominated, having received a majority of all tbe voles of the conferees."
