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.

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 a popuhtt ion olsonio•20,000 inhabitants; last week the "baked tater " boy callod upon many of his old associatss as James Oakshot, the Mayor of Swansea, hav ing accumulattsl some eonsideralile wealth. and exhibiting a praiseworthy example to young men of what per severance and industry can accomplish in this World.—Loiadua (C.

There is a story on record of arc hi tect repculkatity..7 any connection As ith the !wilding fr.tteriiitv, in the c:►se of the late eminent and talented Mr. Al eX:lndor, the architect of R4whogter hrich4v, mai several other line build; in thel county of Rent. He was under cross-examination. in a special jury ease l it .Miiiiktone, liy Sergoant (afterwards Il:ro►i) tiarrot►-, who wished to detract from the weight of his testimony, and whomsking what WllB his name, proceed ed thus: " You aro n builder, I believe r No, sir; I am not a builder, I dm an arc hileet." " Ah, well. Architect nr builder, builder or architect, they are much the mmei I guiipose.7 "I; ho your pardon, sir, I cannot admit. th•it; I consider them to be total ly dillrerent." "Oh, indeed ! perhaps ynn will state wherein this great difference con sists " 4 l n architect , sir, prepares Iho plans, 1 . conch ;yes the designs, draws out the sped tcations—in short, supplies the 'ninth 'l'ho builder is merely the brick layorlor the carpenter--110 builder, in fact, is the machine ; the architect the power that pats the machine toxether and sets it going." gl ' 01t, very Ivell, Mr. Architect, that will do: And now, after your very in genius distinction without a tlitf,!ence, perhaps you could btform the court who was the architect of the Tower of Babel'"' And now mark the reply—w promptness and wit. is perhar be rivalled in the whole history of re johnhir: " There WWI no architect, sir; and henco the confusion !" Shan't Bite Me. There was a fellow of a certain neighborhood in Arkansas, who was strongly- suspected of sheep-stealing. Thetie were weekly', mans• cases of the my - mjerious disappearance of choice mat ton 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." 11®"Re}•nolds, the dranu►tist, observ ing the thinness of the house at one of his pieces, said, " I suppose it is owing to the wnr 1" 4 ' No," way the reply, " it is owing to the piece." aA slattern always makes a poor cook.

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. An awful destruction .of starch now eon! menced, and in good citrnest, too.

'Her neck tacking soon began to sever, partril at the throat, away went a string of white beads, scrAmmering and running races everywhere over the floor. She fubght fair, however, I must admit, and when she could fight no longer fur the want - of breath., she yield ed handsomely ; her arn►s fell down by her side—those long, round, rosy arms —her hair hung hack over the chair, her eyes were half shut, as if she was unable to hold them open a minute long er, and there lay a little plump mouth all in the air! illy goodness! did you ever ACC a hawk ranee on a robin, or a bee on a clover top ! Even so I settled; and when she came to, and threw up those 81105 and seized me around the neck and declared she'd choke one it' ever I did Ko again, and had a great notion to lo , SO now, I just ran the risk again, and the more she choked me the better liked it ; and now she puts her arms around my neck, and ruts her lips in the way of mine every day, and calls me her own John, and don't .sewn to make any fuss about it at all That was a very sensible girl, and shirnakes me a go(xl wife, too, ab I am nut asham ed to say anywhere. 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.
