Why tho Main Line Was Sold.
In speaking of tlu) sale of the Main
Line of the Public Works to the Cen
tral Railroad Company for $7,500,000,
the Erie Observer remarks : By the late
decision of the Supremo Court, this sale
14 made subject to the tonnage tax, and
the right of future taxation. We do
not regard this fact, however, of mud
account. The purchaser has had ex
perience enough in Pennsylvania legis
lation to know that the tonnage tax
can be removed—perhaps not next win
ter, while this robbery is fVesh in the
minds of the people ; but eventually,
when other questions occupy piddle at
tention, there will be found plenty of
Waglue•cllers in the market, and then
just such legislation as is wanted to
oomplete the dominion of this mammoth
monopoly over the State, can be readi
ly secured—for a con.iideriaaat."This
being sy—the first step in this great
wrung having been taken—it only re
mains now for the people—the tax
payers—to ascertain who (lid it, and
why it %V:l4 done. As to the first inqui
ry, we presume no ono will dispute that
the whole swindle—so far as yet ac
complished—is a pet eluld of the Black
Republican-Wilmot party. It Wa4 con
seived and accomplished by that party,
with the help of the Lelsni, Wagonsel
lers and 3lenears of the House. It has
been emphatically endorsed by their
State Convention.
They seek to build up the Penn,.ylva
nil% Central Railroad, 1.3- givint. it the
monopoly of the carrying trade of the
State, so that like the Camden and Am
boy monopoly of Now Jersey, it may
control the politics of the Common
wealth ovideneo of this let, the
reader con well the revelations in the
following extract from 'a
letter from the
Editor of the Milwatikio Wir-ronsin, to
his paper, while the bill was 1...f0re the
Senate. It appear that the Editor of
the ll'imynmin visited Harrisburg on a
political pilgrimage—that he there sasv
lien. Cameron, tho chief conspirator in
this sale, hod by him wits posted in the
de-:iems and hope . s of his Political breth
ren in the State. And, thus inspired,
he wrote:
"The Legislature was in session when we
arrived, mid were a g 0.41 Inking .et of men.
They have passed some very important laws.
The most pron s i 444 /la is that for the sale of the
Main Line of the l'oblic
. Irnot i'hila
d..lphia to Pillsbury, for 5i,00.000. It is
generally under;to.sl that the Pennsylvania
C'entral Railroad will hid it in. The bill was
ritppormd by the Republicans, and carried by
combining with a few Democrats. It tins cre
ated as much excitement in this State as our
lemons band Grant leg:6llob]. There are
wide differences of opinion as to its political
accts. While the Democrats say that it ea
eurot the rote of Prisssylranin at Me October
election by 25,00 J majority, the Republicans
think Mal it will be the means of girtng them
the Slate in the Presidential ran/Num of 1 860—
inasmuch as it divegs tse Democratic State
officers of the vast and potential patronage of
the Main Line of Canals find Railways. The
shrewdest Republicans of the Sluts consider
lie sale toorfil 10,000 ooies lo their side."
Mark well the portion of the above
wo have italicised, and then recollect
that the writer, in the same letter e in a
previous paragraph, gives it as his opin=
ion that Gen. (.`4tmomm will prove the
most formidable oompotitor for the Re
publican nomination for President in
1800, and when nominated, will be ver
vain to ocrry Pennsylvania, and you
have the key to the conspiracy to de.
fraud the Commonwealth out of the
Main Line for the benefit of the Central
Railroad Company. Geo. Cameron is
a shrewd, keen, far seeing politician.
Ho wants no rival in his own State in
the Republican ranks. 110 saw plainly
that Wilmot would be nominated for
Governor, and that ho would be that
rival if, by any possible chance, ho
should bo elected.—Hence that result
' must be prevented at ell hazards.
There is not much prospect of it, it
is true—bat even the possibility must
be guarded against. The sale of the
Main Line at this time, outraging as it
does the rights of the people, and
squandering their means upon a corpor
ation, was just tho measure to accom
plish it—hence it was put through with
railroad speed. Gen. Cameron saw that
it would "ensure tho vote of the State
at the o , .tober election by 25,000 ma
jority" to the opponent of Wilmot, thus
effectually killing him off for 1860, and
leaving him sole heir apparent to the
nomination fur President at that time.
And in this connection, the reader will
observe that the writer of the para
graph quoted, who appears to have ro
ecived his instructions from Cameron
himself, does not profess that any pres
ent benefit to the Republican party will
result from the sale of the Main Lino to
tho Pennsylvania railroad company—
bat "in the Presidential canvass of
1860," when Wilmot is dead and buried,
he thinks "it will be the means of giv-
•
/
"TRUTH IS MIGHTY, AND WILL PREVAIL."
lug them the State." "The shrewdest
Republicans of the State," ho continues,
"consider the salp worth 10,000 votes
to their side." And here is the secret
of this wholesale State robbery—not to
relieve the State debt, hut- to ensure the
State to Republicanism in 1s1;01 not to
relieve the people of taxayon, but to
add "10,000 votes" to the Republi
can column at the next Presidential
election.

"With Hannah, of coarse. You don't
expect me to tie myself to him ?" sho
1 . returned.
The young inan's face grew eletnly.
"No," he returne , l, with a. half sigh;
hut I can't bear to have him left with
servants."
"Oh, well, I can," alio said, and
with a radiant smile lett her husband

"There's the danger," replied the
dear old lady, casting a pitying look
upon the richly embroidered cloak her
son's wife had bent over allday, "unless
the mother bo constantly imparting

" Yes, but to think yon should al

" Yea, in jail for stealing."
" Not our boy ! not our Charley !

The boy was sentenced to the State's

The "Bakod Tater " Boy and
the Mayor.
A gentleman named Oakshot visited
Arundel a few days since, after an ab
sence of thirty years, to call on some of
his old companions. At the time he
lived in Arundel his father was a work
inti black-smith, and the mother, being
of an industrious disposition, made pen
ny pies, bulls' eyes, ite., to assist in
gaining a The son at that
time was chiefly employed in hawking
pies about in the day, and shouting
" baked taters" in the streets at night.
Although he was always considered a
sharp Ind, yet he never had the advan
tages of education which yont lir of the
present day obtain ; An uncle, who
was a linen draper in Swansea, wanted
a lad, and thirty years ago young Oak
shot instructed himself as ho best could,
and " soon rose from one positiiin to
another, until he became the confiden
tial assistaht of his utio,, who regarded
Irim with very greab sitfeetion from his
attentive habits and trustworthy char
acter. A year, passed away; the
business grew under "young" Oakshot's
care; and the uncle died, l eav i ng th e
whole to the nephew. Thirty years
from the day that Oak-hot left Arendt , '
as an errand boy he was chos:n Mayor
of Swansea, and chief magistrate over

There was a fellow of a certain
neighborhood in Arkansas, who was
strongly- suspected of sheep-stealing.

Qom the tiocksof the planters which
were traced to his door; but ho gener
ally !succeeded in proving an alibi or
some other defence, which reduced: the
charge to a more suspicion.
Al Last, however, planter riding
through the woods perceived the sus
pecti'd sheep-thief stealing from the
woods, and after tonking around to see
that no one was near, walkin' np to a
flock of sheep, and deliberately knock
ed over the large't and fattest. At this
moment the planter rode up, and cOn
frontin%t the thief. exclaimed :
" Now, sir, I hare got you!. Ton
can't get ell; you are caught in the very
act !"
, 4 What act?" hulidnantly ingnirod
the thief.
" Shoep-stealing," was tho confident
reply.
" Sir, you had better mind how yon
charge a respectable American citizen
with such a crime as sheep-stealing,"
replied the gentleman with the penchant
for mutton.
" Now, will yon deny that I saw you
kill that sheep?" asked the planter.
" No, sir," was the prompt answer, "
did kill him, and I'll do it again. I'll
kill anybody's sheep that will bite
me as I um going peaceably along the
road."

Tho Rough and Tumble Kiss.
The neatest bf all neat things,
the story of Widow Lambkins, from
whom Dr. lioadows took so much, toll
when they crossed tho bridge on a
sleigh ride, reminds us, says a down
cast friend, of one of our young Maine
fellows, who thus describes the battle
and final victory, in a fair fight ibr a
kiss of his sweet-heart :
" Ah, now, Sarah dear, do give me a
kiss —just one—and be done with it."
"I wont! so there now."
"Then I shall have to take it."
"Take it, if you dare."
So at it they went, rough and tumble.

In Favor of the Hog.
John Smith was tried in Alabama for
stealing a hog - worth ono dollar and a
half. The theft was proved beyond the
shadow of a doubt. The jury retired,
to make up their verdict, to an adjacmit
grove of trees, and were not. out long
before they returned with a verdict of
" guilty of hog stealing in fast degree."'
The Judge told them that the verdict
was proper, except that they had omit-.
tel to assess the value of the property
stolen, And that there was no degree to
hog stealing, and to retire again and
bring in their verdict i)*" roper form."
Again they retired, with pen, ink and
paper, ; but rather nonplussed with re
gard to the "firm." They pondered
long and deeply over what ho meant by
firm. At last old - W. Jim Turner ,who
had hecit jup.tice of the peace in l;itorgiat,
with a bright countenance and a sly
ilk, as mach as to say, " Look at me,
understand u thing or two,"
wrote the verdict and returned to the
court, house. Ono after another .they
Jim handed the verdict to
the clerk, with anxious pomposity, and
sat down. Judge of the langlawr when
