A. H. Thornton, of Convngham, Lucerne county, on Thursday of last week, as we are credibly iufbrmeJ, encountered a scene of onflering exceeding any thing we ever heard, and well merits the name of a "perilous adven ture." It appearst hat Dr. Thornton had been on a professional visit, some considerable distance South East of Conyngham, and on his return, became benighted. Anxious to ninke his near est route home, he took an old unfrequented road, on which he travelled until ho was obli ged to leave it to gonrotind a fallen tree, where he lost his course and was compelled to hunt his way through the darkness of the nighty in the lone wilderness. In this unenviable situa tion, his horse mired in the swamp, and was on ly extricated from his sinking position, by the dismounting of the rider and bin consequent ex posure about mid way to the same fate. Thus surmounting the first difficulty, little did our friend imagine, tint a more severe task awaited him. He soon found himself and horse in ano ther mire, worse than the fir.t, from which he saved himself by abandoning bis horse. Thus circumstanced, he was doomed to at tempt his retreat through the dark on foot, ta king with him only his medical valicc. In this situation he commenced wending his way through the dense forest, and mid night dark ness, when suddenly his troubles were enhan ced by the abrupt obtrusion of a still more for midable obstacle. Some living animal with shining eye balls, here met him full in face! U was a huge ravenous WOLF! And now he had arrived at a fearful and awful crisis! Alone in the wilderness in the dark unarm ed far from human help and attacked by a fe rocious beast of prey ! ! ! What a situation ! In this fearful extremity, Dr. T. could only meet the assailant eye to eye, assured that a retreat, on his part, was certain death. Sum moning to his aid all the philosophy ut his command, ho losencd one of his riding legons, in which he infused spirits of Hartshorne, and by walking backward all night, thus warded off the attack of his intended destroyer ! After day-break the Wolf disappeared. The Doctor thus exhausted and well-nigh overcome, succeeded in finding the nearest in habitaht, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, par tially related his adventure and swooned away, lie was finally taken home to his friends and residence at Coiiyuham, where he is still confi ned to his room from. tLc-tflocts of that perilous adventure.

E7" In another column our readers will find the proceedings of the Conferees, to nominate a candidate for Congress, in the place of the lion. Henry Trick, deceased. The Hon. JOHN SNY DER was, as expected, nominated on the first ballot. The conferees have all pledged them selves to support the election of Mr. Snyder. There will, therefore, be no other democratic candidate in the field. The contest will be be tween Mr. Snyder and Mr. Tollock. The result scarcely admits of a doubt, as the democracy have resolved to make up for their negligence and dissension, in permitting a whig to be elect ed last fall. Besides, Mr. Pollock is much less popular than either of Mr. Snyder's former oppo nents 0-7" We refer our readers to another letter of Mr. Snyder, on the tariff, which will operate, we think, as a clincher, on those who were dis posed to pick a flaw in his former letter. Some of our whig friends have been disposed to find fault with Mr. Snyder, because, as they say, he is not as strong a tariff man as he should be. Now, the truth is, Mr. S. is a stronger tariff man than Mr. Clay. This may seem strange to some, yet, it is nevertheless true. Let them compare Mr. Snyder's letter with some of Mr. Clay's late letters upon that subject, and they will at once see the truth of our statement. In his late letter to Dr. Proiisoni, Mr. Clay says : "I think there is no ilanger of a high tariff ever being established ; 'hut of was emi nently deserving that denomination. 1 was not in Congress when it passed, and did not vote ft it ; hut with its history and with the circumstances which gave birt to it, I am well acquainted. They are higbty discreditable to American legislation, and I hope, for Its honor, willuever be repeated." Snyder vs. Clay, on (lie Tariff. The only -object ion niadeto Mr. S.nvihr here tofore, was, that he was opposed to the present Tariff. That olijed ion cannot any longer exist in the mind of any democrat, as Mr. Snyder has avowed himself a decided friend of the present tariff. He has said, and still savs, it does Trot sufficiently protect some articles. Hethinks the lnty on Coal, Iron and Wool, not high enough. It was lor that reason that he thought it imper fect in its details, but as a whule he approves of it, because it is the best we could get. We have now before us a lotter from Mr. Snyder, in which he says "An economical ailtntuistralinn of our govern ment, can only lie brought abort !v A HIGH PROTECTION ON ALL ARTICLES WE CAN MANUFACTURE AND GROW INOl'K COUNTRY, which w ill indiscriminately protect labor i every description." U'luit Tariff man can ask more, and we ask some of our whig friends to compare it with Mr. Clay's speech, f March, 18-12, in which we find the following : "Let me not be misunderstood, and let me en treat that I may not be misrepresented I AM NOT ADVOCATING A RENEWAL OF A lilt JII PROTECTIVE. TARIFF ; I am for a biding by the principles of the Compromise Act." UT" The turn out in the lower end of this count y, it is said, w ill be very strong at the elec tion, on the 5th. !f so, we shall look out for sonieofihe old fashioned, heavy democratic ma jorities. 07" The dye house and loof of the boiler shed of Or Petri kin's Woollen Factory, at Danville, was consumed by fire, on Monday niht the leth int 1 l.r j rpeit y was inuired Totherulli!

They know they are greatly in the minority, and that if we try we enn brat them 1500 votes in the district. Then let us try, as the present election may have some effect on the fall elections. They know that their success depends wholly on our inac tivity. Next Congressman. A'lthe Democratic papers in this Congression al district, came out at onco in favor of the Hon. JOHN SN YDER. This speaks well, and shows conclusively that Mr. Snyder's election is placed beyond all doubt. This district, it is well known, gives a largo democratic majority. As there are no local matters now to interfere, and as the democracy of the district is unanimous in fa vor of Mr. Snyder, his majority will not be much short of MIO votes. The whigs have taken up James Pot lock. Esq , as their candidate, who, in thus otTeiing himself as a voluntary martyr to the principles of his party, deserves the high est commendation; for we would not insult his understanding by supposing that he was actu ated by political aspirations, or that he had the remotest idea of success. Our old friend, Ner Middleswaith, Esq., it is said, could have had the nomination, and as he is somewhat ambitious of political distinction, would, no doubt, have ac cepted it, if there had been any prospect of sue cess. Put he is a shrewd and keen-eyed politi cian, and Lad no notion of wasting his strength in a hop less contest. Old Tnrbut alone, we have learned, from one who supported Gen.

He accuses Mr. Snyder with having opposed the present taiitf, and also of having dodged the question. Now, this m no true, as Mr. Snyder supported the present tariff by his votes, w hile at Congress, and was absent at home, on account of family af fliction, when the bill was finally passed. Mr. Snyder is not a man to dodge any question. Of this, no man w ho knows him, will accuse him. The Democrat is, how ever, welcome to do its Vest iu Coluniliia county, for Mr. Tollock, in which he will have no opposition, as Mr. Sny der has determined to confine his election entire ly to this district. C7 The last Miltonian, speaking of the pre sent tariff, says : "V-.

Now, we asseit that the person wlio wnitethe above paragraph, was either grossly ignorant, or has been guilty of publishing what ho knew to be a deliberate and wilful untruth. Instead of Mr. Snyder having voted '-flatly and positively agaiiitt the present bill, in its passage through the House," we say he voted for the bill, and for the proof of which, we ask our readers to re fer to the Journals of Congress. Let the writer point out the page, if he tan, shewing that Mr. Snyder voted against the present tariff. Again, Mr. Snyder does not, in his letter, say of the ta riff, that "he dvnt like it as a K-Wt," but on the contrary npprotr of it as a whole, for the proof of which he refers to the Journals. We ask for Mr. Snyder nothing but fair play.

Letter from the Hon. John Snyder. j Mahon!!o, March 33, 1814. II. B. Masskr, Esq. Diar Sir : I regret to perceive that some of my political opponents are endeavoring to pervert the intent and meaning of my letter to the Standing Committee of Nor thumberland county, in relation to my views of the present Tariff. I supposed that I had been sufficiently explicit in that letter, to satisfy the most scrupulous, that I was favorable to the pre present tariff. But, as I do not wish to conceal my views and sentiments on any question, and in order tk prevent all further cavil and misre presentation on this subject, I again rapeat, what you will recollect I more than once stated to you last fall, previous to the election, viz : That 1 am not only in furor and approve of the prrtmt Tariff, to far as ii gom, but that if I am tlrc'td to Conff' tm, T w II oppose any measure that may have a tendrncy to distw b it, unless for the pur pose of still further protecting domestic indutry, by imposing a tax on articles now free of duty, always excepting tea, coffee and salt. These are my views, candidly expressed and honestly en tertained. Anyone who will take the trouble to look into the Journals of the last Congress, will find that I voted for the present tariff on every occasion, when the question came before the House. The reason w hy I did not vote on the final passage of the bill, was, as you well know, owing to my absence, in consequence of being called home to the death bed of my wife. I envy not the feelings of those w ho could seize upon such an event to misrepresent my views and pervert my motives. I unequivocally say, bad I not been absent, I should have voted for the billon its final passage. Respectfully yours. JOHN SNYDER. PuMie Triiil'in;.

The only defect is in the signatures of the Presi dent and Cushier. Every thing else is in the best style of engraving, and the only way, therefore, to avoid imposition, is to refuse altogether the is sues of the Bank, of U s denomination."

The following is Mr. Muhlenberg's letter ac cepting the nomination of the 4th of March Con vention, addressed to the Committee appointed toinfrom him of his nomination : Messrs. Meyer, Vamant, and Rahn, Com., Ac : Gentlem : Your communication, inform ing me that the 4th of March Convention has thought proper to nominate me as the candidate to be supported by the Democratic party for the office of Governor of this Commonwealth, has been received with those feelings which cannot but fill every properly constituted mind upon such an occasion. Considering that nomination as a proof of public confidence, I feel highly ho nored, and accept it with profound gratitude. The partiality of the Convention has, I fear, flyer-rated my ability to benefit the State in its present lamentable situation. Should, however, the voice of the people ratify its nomination, whatever capacity I may have to render services to our beloved Commonwealth, shall bo honest ly, and w ith untiring perseverance and devotion, applied to that purpose. One of the great maxims of the republican par ty lias been : "principles and measures, not men." In times like the present, and circum stanced as our State ami the Union are, we should continually recal this maxim to our minds. It is full of meaning and instruction. It commands us to lay aside all our predilections for more men, or for chosen or favorite leaders. Its spirit is the very soul of the party to which it is our pride to belong. Let us hear, then, no more of our former differences about men. This is all wrong. We arc no man's men we are Democrats, and, as such, always willing to sacrifice our love for men to our deeper love of principles. As long as nominations are pending, every mannasniu oniy a cear rignr, l.nt it is hs.tuty, j to declare h.s individual preference, and no one j can have a just cause of offence ; but when no- , initiations have been fairly and honestly made, j the welfare of the party and of the State demands j submission to the declared will of the majority. : Every former difference should then be forgot- ' ten. and all be "as a band of brothers joined." j I can very sincerely say, that I speak thus, not , on my account, but for the promotion of the pub- : 1 -l ... s .ii.cn must a. ways greatly uepen-i up- ! on maintaining Democratic republican principle and pursuing Democratic republican measures. As far as I am personally concerned, I can cheer fully pledge mysell hereafter to know no man ac coring to his former personal preferences, but to regard all with a single eye to the soundness of their political principles their honesty their capacity their ability to promote the public good to maintain unimpaired our noble free in stitutions, and all the rights, privileges and prin ciples connected with them, ami to carry out such measures as are accordant with their spirit.

The conferees feel the importance of the approaching election. Fur several years the Whig or Federal party has been untiring in their efforts, through out the length and breadth of the land, to divide, distract, and prostiute the Democratic party, and with it principles long cherished and adopted, as necessary to preserve and strengthen our govern ment. The Democracy, confiding too much in their strength, have not been careful to watch with that vigilance which was their duty, all the. points of their citadel ; the consequence has been an occasional defeat. If united, they present a front, through which it is in vain for the enemies of Democracy to attempt to penetrate. You will bear with us while we urge upon you re newed t-tforts and concert of action. The princi ples for which we contend, as a party, are thost held and taught by Jefferson, Madison, Moult and Jackson. As long as those principles wer adhered to and practised, our country was pros perous and happy. A departure from them has involved us in difficulties, which require time, skill and prudence, to overcome. For years we were groaning under the weight of a Bunk that aided in crushing us to national insolvency and national disgrace.
