Swaixowino Tin Evidence. Sailors are
proverbially grumblers, nnd even when well
treated are very apt to find fault Their pro
visions good or bad, and sometimes they are bad
enough in all conscience, furnish an everlasting
subject of complaint ; they are never ao good as
they were the first voyage." We lately met
with an anecdote of Judge Peters, of Philadel
phia, having a bearing on this subject, which
is too good to be lost.
Complaint was tnnde to the Judgn in behalf
of the crew of a vessel who had made a voyage
to some port in Russia that they had been fur
nished with bad provisions. While tlie coun
sel for the seamen was arguing the cause, one
of them stepped forward, and drawing from
his pocket a piece of bread, the color of brown
soap, presented to his honor as a specimen of
their fate. To persons accustomed to fine
wheaten loaves it appeared disi;u9iing indeed,
and the bystanders, one and all, cried shame
to fill men's stomachs with 6iich unwholesome
aliment.
The Judge applied the broad to his nose,
nnd finding nothing in it olTensivo to his olfac
tory nerves, was tempted to taste it ; he nibbled
a little piece, it tasted well, and ho took a large
kite. The counsel proceeded at much length,
though the dinner hour was fast approaching,
and, as he rounded the periods, the Judge nib
bled around the black biscuit until none remai
ned. At this moment the sailor stepped up,
and with a conntennnce in which was depicted
real distress, said 'why you have eaten my best
witness. Yes, (said the lawyer) I have been
Tcmarking that the Judge hns been swallowing
the. evidence as well as the law. 'Never mind,
(replied his honor, as if awakened from a
dream) 1 am the better able to digest your cause.'
So saying, he rose, and ordering the libel to bo
dismissed, went home to his dinner.

FOR TIIK AMI'.HICA.
Ma. EniToa: Myself and neighbors me de
cidedly in favor of again nominating EDWARD
V. BRKillT, as the Democratic candidate for the
Assembly. Mr. Bright m idea v.iy good mem
brr lie wn active and indiistriou always at his
post, and did his duty faithfully. He was chair
man of a very important Committee, and one thnl
required a great deal of attention and labor. Hin
appointment lo this station shnwa that he had the
respect and confidence of his fellow members, and
they say that we ever sent a more industrious
and attentive member.
Mr. Bright took an active and leading part in
retrenching ihe expense of the Legislature, and in
introducing principles of economy into every
brunch of ihe (iovernment. He was on the Com
mittee of Accounts, through whoso exertions Ihe
reform which distinguished the last Legislature
was brought about. He went about saving the
people's money in earnest. A few ilnys after the
opening of Ihe setainn, he olli nd the resolution
which bi came a la, giving the Public Printing
and Binding to Ihe lowest bidder. This measure
alone will save about Tax Thoi-iand Dollass
annually.
It was suspected that great frauds had been
committed by the punters under former laws. The
Committee on Accounts set about the investiga
tion of these accounts with a determination to
lei ret out the frauds. Mr. Bright was one of the
moat indubtrious and persevering members of that
Committee. The result was that oveichargee of
the printers,, lo the amount of thirteen thousand
dollars, were discovered and suits directed to be
brought lo recover that sum back into Ihe Treasury,
1'ne contingent ex penses of the last legislature !
were not one tilth ol the expenses of the proceed
ing. Koine (15 or (20,000 were saved lo the
Commonwealth in this matter alone, by the care
and economy of the Committee of Accounts,
Mr. Bright then has done his duty faithfully and
houestly. He has carried out the wi.hes of the
people, and ought to be re-elected unanimously.
Honor to whom honor is due. Let the faithful
public servant tie rewarded, and the best interests
of ihe people will be faithfully represented.

Ma. F.hitob : It being in accordance with the
Usages of the Democratic party, for the people,
previous to the formation of the County Ticket,
to bring before the public the names of such in
dividuals as they muy deem most worthy to dis
charge the duties belonging to the offices within
their gift, we would recommend to the consider
ation ofthe Democratic F.lectors of Northumber
land county, Maj. WILLIAM L. DKWART
as candidate for the Legislature. Should the
people see proper to elect Maj. Dewart as their
. Representative, we feel confident that they will
find in hnn a public servant of distinguiahed a
bilities, an intelligent, firm, and unwavering De
mocrat of the JetTersonian school, and, conae
kequently, the laboring man's friend.
