IS OUR, MAN. Some of the editors holding offices under the present governor, have st rung together a . IMig . list of the names of papers said to be ftiendly to his re-election. From this list, it appears that every political paper in the state, that ever lisped the narne of George Wolf; without its being at the same time accompa nied with an expression of decided disapiwo hation, is set down as being friendly to, and an advocatothr, his re-election l As formidable as this listnaity appear in their own estima tion, they ought to know, and certainly do ---know T-that _tbe_re-_a.m_in4h 's st Ito-mere P— . decidedV Anti-masonic, that are opposed to -- Wolf,-thatrthe-whole amount of the strained , and forced number they have exhibited, (-La_ . mittin g , the win:de werefavourable to him.— In this however, we presume before the elec tion in 1832 they will find them Selves mista ken. Independent of this, there are more pa pers, perhaps double the number they have enumerated, that are -altogether opposed to him, none of which have taken any active part with anti-masonry. The natural infer ence is, that somewhere near one fifth of the_ Whole will be in favour of Wolf, the remain der very properly and justl ',opposed th him. Ofthe comparatively smal ~.,' iber of presses t i pth favourable ' , many i not the greate part of the di are office holders under tcla . him.

[From the Greensburgh Gazette We do not know that we should have no reed the , peregrinatiOns of this gentleman, called tour-of "reconnoisance," at all, and his bevy of male and female attendants, if it 4were not for the silly attempts offi-few -of his sycophantic adulators to mislead the pub lic mind and make them believe that the Governor was really viewing ,the public works, with a view to gather and communi, cite co`rreet information thereon to the pub lic. A short review of route and mode of travel of his Excellency, will set this mat ter in proper point of view. But before we 'commence we will just observe, by the way, that since the days 'ofSinbad the Sailor, who once made a tour of "recounoisance" through a certain country in a basket hung to the horn of a Lady's side saddle, or the famous Baron Munchausen, who rode a great distance on the back. of a-large -Bird, -- have we never heard of any one - wishirig to gain correct information of the state and situation of a country travelling in a stage coach with a train of ladies. We are told he went in a canal boat from- Harristair, to Clark's ferry. This was as . it should be, as lie might in that waS' hive an opportunity of viewing the work, although it could be of little consequence after the work was done and paid for; but by some mishap here he left the canal and took the stage. From thence to , Lewistown we are not acquainted with the situation of the -country, but 7restime thecaiiat i trid - a — iiiirenTr along side of the turnpike near all the _die,. tance, and at any rate lie could have but ht tle chance Of viewing it-whirled along in _a coach: Flom Lewistown to Huntingdon, a distance of thirty-four miles, he could not see, even had he been on horse-back, but a very little of the canal, and this is finished arid paid for. Here We find him on Satur day night, and might hops to hear dl' him spending the sacred day of rest and joining with some of the religious societies of the place _in worshirring_thaGod of_the Sabbath;_ but whether he cares for none of those things,.or he found himself not so very com fortably situated, few er none being found' so poor as to - do him toverence; or whether he could not afford to spend one day even at the expenSe of a little cash, we will not pretend to determine., But what will the friends of morality and religion, who were so scandalized at the alleged infidelity of Joseph ititner some twenty or thirty years agir, say, when we find Gov. Wolf and his 'company leaving Huntingdon on the Sabbath day and prosecuting his jaunt - up through the mountains with the pretext-of viewing the canal and rail-road route, but which in fact he could not do, as he would rarely be in sight of them.. - At Armagh he was per _Bonded to .go -ac rose:to-Johnstown-a nd there take a canal boat for Pittsburg. He staid in ,Pittsburg a few days and their minions have time opportunity oftestifying their feal ty to him and adherance to his cause. From Pittsburg he travelled on the turnpike through Butler, Mercer, &c. which lies a- bout mid-way betikeen the War contending; Tomes for the Pittsburg and Erie canal, and of course could not see-any of it ...except itH was a few perches of :the Frond' creek Absdorr . eadville; and now he is ofilike a wandaring star either to,Canada or 'New back to Harrisburg about as wise, as it re. spects the internal improve'ment of the state, as he was before he set out. It must be obvious to the most common, capacity that the object of this wild goose chase WasTany thing but to view the public works and gath er infbrmatlon thereon. The innwle of tra velling the route and the compaq - ali con ! , spire to force this conclusiori upon us.. We do not know that he had any scientific men along with him, or that he is one himself. It is true he had a pretty considerable com pany as to, numbers—there were Iwo- or three members of the State Legislature, to talk politics, make speees, and feel the public sentiment with itßard to the nellt . Governor's eletion; a p/4nter to report pro . gressi and give a puff when. they return .honte; and the Ladies, the dear little crea tures, we-must not forget them, ,they must have a finger in every pie, they were along too, and would do to attract the notice and attention of the beausy eat the gosidies,and while away the tedious , hours of travel, and thus the farce is ended.

In this„ however, we_were_ dedeived, forien Wednesday night last, he made another attempt to get out. He succeeded, by some means or other, in removing his handcuffs, and with, a saw made of the mainspring of a watch, sawed an iron bolt-through of an inch and a quar ter in diameter ' which secured the hobbles to his ankles.
