thing, in faror of striking it out—as
plain as black and white can make it
That the provision carried, was not Mr.
Will's fault. lie pursued the best pos
sible course to defeat it by voting against
it; and this was the only test had upon
the section, and consequently the only
occasion upon which an expression of
the sentiments of members in regard to
it could have been given.
Such is a simple and unvarnished
statement of the facts in the ease, as
we have gleaned them from the Journal
of the /10100 proceedings. And yet, in
the face of all, and easily established as
the truth can be, the Ashram Sentinel has
the mendacity to declare that "The
Compiler misstate* the facts, when it
says that ' Mr. Will voted against the
additional pay to members' "
"The Compiler attempts to got out of
Mr. WILL's 'extra pay' business, by
charging that Maj. Mussur.man stands
upon the same looting, en the record of
the previous session. We do not know
that. this, ceeii if tree, can help Mr.

In the last Sentinel appears a corres
pondence, (the idea suggested by a'
leader out of the borough, and the let-!
tern the work of the Star managers,)
between Mr. JAciiii REssrit, of Exist
Berlin, and Mr. SeIIII.IKI. DeiteonAw,
the Know Nothing candidate for the
Legislature. Mr. D. is asked his °pin-,
ions in regard to " extra $200" and the
" tonnage tax."
In regard to the former, he says he
would vote, if elected, (there's the I
rub !) to repeal the $7OO law, but is very
careful not, to commit himself in regard
to the titling of the said $7OO, should the
bill sot be repealed. This is a palpable
dodging of the question.
As to the tonnage tax on the Central
Railroad, it is paper to bear in mind',
that the Opposition in the Legislature
have always shown a very warm side.
for that mammoth company, going oven ,
so far as to give it the Main Line of!
our Public Works for half price. Be:-
coining fearful that the people would
suspect. them of a desire also to relieve
the company of tine tonnage tax which ;
it pays into the Treasury of the State,'
tkeir leaders, hero and there, suggest
the propriety of their candidates pledg
ing themselves to an opposite course ;
but they generally leave a loop-hole for
an emergency, such m the following in '
the letter signed by Mr. Durboruw :
" folding these views, I shall regard
it my duty, if elected, to vote against a
repeal of the Tonnage tax, mikes I can
be satiPfled, that a repeal would bring more ,
money into the Treasury of the State." '
*lra; 2
W a italicise the last two lines, be
cause them is more in them than will
occur-to the appreliensiou of the hasty
reader. It would be a very easy mat
ter for the Central Ttailroad Company
to convince Mr. Durboraw that, the
" repeal would bring more money into
the Tirsusury of the State." Let his
partizan feelings but run with that
Company, as did those of Major Mus
sels:nen and all the rest of the Opposi
tion member's in 1857, and there would
be little. trouble in convincing Mr. Der
boraw of anything. The Opposition
candidate for Congress in this district,
who has served the Company well,
could readily be impressed into the ser
vice, said his "flgares " (if as potent as
in ..1857). 1 nrould soon, demonstrate to
Mlottitilnion the propriety of a repeal
tOnnage tax I That dodge is
equally transparent.
Mr. Duchoraw's letter winds up as
follows:
"Having no,viewsof public policy to,

ties as would produce the amount of menus

incidental protection to our home Industry."—
June 19, 1844.
Now turn to the resolution of the re
cent Opposition State Convention. It,
is these words, exactly :
" Resolved, That the revenue necessary for
a judicious and economical administration of
the Government should be raised by the impo
sition of duties upon foreign imports, and i■
lading them, inch discriminating protection
should be given as will secure the rights of
free labor and American industry."
The sentiments expressed in each are
us like As tw•o peas—and if there was
" (rand" in the one there must bo
" fraud " in the other. Is it not so,
candid reader?
This "Tariff" agitation is tnrning
out to be an unfortunate one for the
Sentinel and Star, as well as for their
candidate for Congress. Both these
papers were very earnest in favor of
the elect ion of " rree-trade " Wilmot to
the Governorship, but a year since,
whilst Mr. MePuEasoN went so far in
his admiration of the " traitor Davy "
as to serve in the office of Secretary to
his State Commit tee, and spent several
months in that, intonate capacity, at
Philadelphia, immediately preceding
the election. And now, to make bad
worse, the Opposition Convention has
placed before the people of the Com
monwealth, an equally ardent old
"Free-trader" for Supreme Judge, Join
M.. Ram of Philadelphia, siiirwho was
one of the signers to a letter congratulating
Vice President Dallas upon his "firm
ness" and " patriotism" in giving the cast
ing rote against the Tariff of 18421.'1 - 5A

The editor of the Star does not like
our allusions to Know Nothingism.—
Didkny reader ever know a man guilty
elan improper net to desire to hare it
afterwards "cast up" to him ? Orcoume
not. But it may still be well, occasional
ly, to remind such persons of the frailty
of human nature, that they may be
more cireupispect in after life. So with
the Star Anvers. Wo wish to keep
thtin in remembrance of their "dark
lantern " folly, that they may avoid
new-fungled isms in the future. We
are not sure that our " remedy " will
effect a permanent cure—but the physic,
nauseating us may be, they must most
certainly take, and in just such doses as
we may choose to prescribe. 'Ugly

The Star says that "a lie well stuck

in our line, of course we cannot be ox-'

his paying closer attention to his "P's

for the trifling discrepancy, he last Fri
day took an immense leap upwards,
and fired the sum at nearly 8104,000,-

"stuck to," that we should not wonder
if his readers presently believed that
the Administration had not spent half

Ma. STATILE :—I never wrote any

know that you will put thi• in 3 our
paper. But I want to say something
about the Know Nothing candidate for
Cougress, w hick I think others should
bo told of. A couple of days ago, this
candidate called at the place I work,
with acother big Know Nothing, and
he asked me or my vote. I dill not
promise him, because 1 had not forgot
that, throe or tour years ago, 1 went to
the barber shop, and waiting until my
turn came, 1 picked up a paper printed
by this very Mr. McPherson, in Pitts
burg, in which he said a great many
hard and not true things of all foreign
ers, and abused the Democratic party
in the worst way he could. Now how
can ho have the faoo to ask people
whom he has so badly abused, to vote
for him? Ho done all ho could to put
foreigners and Democrats down, and be
ought not to ask them to help to pat him
up. Besides this, ho never took any
notice of as common people until he be
came a candidate, and he only does it
at this time to get our votes. But he

Notwithstanding all this, the Star,
clique can scarcely keep within bounds,
as is evidenced by the sedarian Innen
doesithrown out last week through the
columns of the Star in regard to the re
ligion of Chas. Will. If they dare not!
bite, they cannot refrain from showing I
their ivory; and it seems that they
would spare a part of their very nose,
if they could with profit or impunity be
permitted to follow the bent of their!
narrow bigoted and sordid inelinstions.
The comments they make in regard to I
the votes of Mr. Will on the extra-pay I
bill are truly ridiculous and desperate.
They know that he roted against it on
every occasion and in every shape, and I
this galls them to the core. They feign
to be surprised that 31r. Will did not
call the yeas and nays after the bill had
i
actually passed. In this the clique!
again show their teeth, as well as their!
ignorance,if they possibly can be sincere.
They can find nothing in Mr. Will's
course last Winter calculated to console
them, and they are forced thus togrup
plc with shadows, and resort to strata
gem and fiction.
Judge Smyser, once upon a time, vo
ted against, and took, extra-pay, and
the Star subscribed to the legality and
propriety of the net. John Musselmau
more recently dodged an extra-pay bill,
(at least his vote cannot be shown,)
and pocketed the proceeds, yet it was reg
ular and patriotic in tho eyes of the
Star. Mr. Will did as the Hon. D. M.
Smyser had done,—did better than Ma
jor Muaselman had done, yet he is
blamed, and they applauded by this
'clique. They had better drown like
men, than show their cowardice by
catching a 1 such subterfuges as this,
and then sink even in their own estima
tion.
They are to be pitied, poor fellows,
becAuse they can find nothing pinasible
to urge against our men. 9i r. Will's
vote on the License question embarras
ses the' not a littlo. They cannot
make any capital oat of that without
n terfe ring with and contradicting their
past positions and expressions on the
subject.
Besides, their man, Durboraw, they
say, is so great a stickler on the tem
perance westion,and for total' abgtinance,
that he would not assist his neighbors,
oven of kis owe opolitkid complexion,"
in obtaining' tavern. license by simply
signing their petitions. Under these
and similakArounistances, it is no won
der that men of such impulses and pan
slops as Shoal that conduct and control
the coalmine of the Star shouki become
desperate and despotic. So while we
are in day bound to make alkmanoe
for wUnso passed, wo most be sur
prised at potitiOg on their roil, in the,
future, - • Yosiase&est*.
