Bat this grand flourish about "gentlemanly conduct" was all bosh, at least so far as Curtin is concerned, and this he provgi before ho closod this same "gentleman ly" speech, as we find, by reading a lit tle further, in referring to President Buchanan, he stigmatizes him as one "who has disgraced his State and dwarfed his manhood." Do you call this gentlemanly language ? High au thority has informed us, for oar instruc tion, "that the Ethiope cannot change his skin, nor Ow leopard his spots ;" and from this ungentlemanly attack, alto gether uncalled for, equally an offence against good manners, justice, truth, and history, we are led to the conclu sion that even wandidato for Governor, (the highest office in the gift of the State,) of the Black Republican party, even w?on ho endeavors to play the gentleman, is so bound by old habits and governed by instincts (if not by constitutionally chronic habits) of his par ty, that if it is not good policy for him to slander and abuse one distinguished Democrat, he mast give vent to the en venomed virulence of his spleen by an insulting sing at another. It is further said that "people who live in glass houses should not throw stones," and to this addve the especial attention of the would-be Governor is directed. The answer to certain ques tions which we may put to Col. Curtin, might show that somebody else bad "disgraced his State and dwarfed his • manhood." Hon. Ricbard Faux. It will be remembered that at the close of the Congressional convasa of 1858, the Republican presses vrero loud in their charges that there-election of the Hon. Thomas; B. Florence, in the first Congressional District of Philadel phia, bad been secured by " the most outrageous frauds." Notice was given that his seat would be contested by Mr. John W. Ryan, his defeated competitor, and the prediction was confidently made, that Col. Florence would be ous ted. Nov, that the time has come for proving these charges, andking good their boastful prediction, hat do we see and hear? A complete and humilia ting retraction of them all l Mr. Ryan himselfis compelled to answer numerous inquiries of his own friends, by a public confession that " after an industrious and patient investigation of the many rumors that reached him of alleged frauds,he was unable to obtain a sufficient amount of legal testimony to prove that he had a majority of votes." Thus is exploded another of the many monstrous allegations of fraud againt the Democra tic party, which unscrupulous Opposi tion journals are in the constant prae tice of making. We take the following from the Phila delphia Sunday Mercury, a neutral pa per, of the 28th ultimo : Hon. David Taggart hails from the rural region of Northumberland county. Ile traveled night and day, in order to be present at the Curtin ratification meeting in this city. jje, doubtless, considered his prompt endorsement of the opposition candidate for Governor of decisive importance. Burdened with a speech, Mr. Taggart appeared upon the platform at Concert Hall, and has tened to tell the assembled crowd what he intended to do for hid friend "Andy." But he also indicated to persons of sense the damage he might do, by giving ut terance to the following intensely sar castic sentence : "Henry Clay was defeated by tho hordes - from foreign shores, especially by that portion who do not eat meat on Friday." From this, it appears that, in Mr. Taggart's political philosophy, there is a vital in fluence exercised by the digestive or gans upon the fortunes of parties and candidates ; that vegetanan dinners on Friday are favorable to Democratic health and strength, and that the suc cess of the Opposition depends upon the quality of beef and mutton consumed upon that day. Bat the Northumber land orator designed to sneer, and from a political rostrum, to ridicule the reli gioas observances of a very large class of our community.

It matters little what may be elicited by the investigations of this Coruzaittee of Mr. John Covode, every person of common sense and ordinary sagacity perceives and understands that the in quiry was instituted for party purposes nlone, and to aid them in the coming Pretiidenfial contest. No man in the community supposes that Mr. Covodo or thoso acting with him were fur ono motr.esit influenced or actuated by a pure or earnest zeal for, the public good. In addition to his party hostility to Mr. Buchanan, John Covode has per sonal malignity to gratify. He looks upon the President as one who stood like a Hoc in the way and prevented him from grasping a large share of tbo public lands. In 1856, a Railroad company was or ganised at Omaha City, Nebraska Ter ritory, with a nominal capital of eighty millions of dollars, not one contof which was paid in, nor was it designed that any money should be ever paid in.— The scheme was to obtain immense grants of public lands for the construc tion of a Railroag h from the Missouri river to the SontrPass of the Rooky Mountains, via the valley of the Platte river. This road was to have some three or four branches, and it was cal culated that in this enterprise nearly every acre of good land in Nebraska would be absorbed by the oompany. John Covode was a prominent mem ber of this company, and they relied upon him to engineer this mammoth fraud upon the government through the House ; but the scheme was foiled by the decided stand taken by the President against voting away the pub lic lands to Railroad corporations.— Henoe the bitter personal hostility of John Covode to President Buchanan. But if Mr. John Covode himself were put upon the stand, it is our opinion that he would be obliged to make some startling and shameffil dotelopments, unless he should shelter himself under that provision of law which permits a rogue to refuse to answer when that answer would criminate himself. In the canvass of 1856 it was stated, and stated upon good authority, that this immaculate John Covode was Treasurer of a Republican Corruption Fund of $100,000; that be was commis sioned to spend the sum in the effort to secure the vote of Pennsylvania for Fremont; and it, was asserted that ho did spend this fund in bribing newspa pers and in other disgraceful and cor rupt ways. Since that time be has been notorious in base attorneyships of the same disre putable character. He has also dis charged with great energy and seal, so it is alleged, the active duties of one of the directors in the Underground Rail road; and not long since, fur the pur poses of defeating the law in the case of a criminal negro, became the purchaser of the negro, and for ought we know, is yet. a sla,veholder. He is, without exception, the last man . is the whole length and breadth of the land wto should dare, with a record so black staring him in the face, to make or insinuate charges of corruption; and that, too, at the very moment that be is himself guilty of corrupt acts, and in the actual and immediate commission of them; at, this very time prostitutiog his privilege of a Congressman by frank ing hundreds and thousands of political documents at the expense of the gov ernment. Yet this venal and corrupt, dema gogue, who has grown and flourished in the very hot-bed of political depravity, becomes the accuser, and, at the same time, judge of others. But already it appears that those who instigated these measures anticipate that they have overshot the mark.— Ford's testimony proves that to secure the public printing, he agreed to divide the plunder with some half a dozen vultures that have gathered around the carcass of Black Republicanism, and who aided him to secure the prize.— This distribution of the plunder he facetiously dostnates as "taking care of the wounded." The more sagacious of the Black- Re publicans see reason to regret the inde cent and unparliamentary codrse of their faction in the House against the President. They fear the recoil, and would now, were it possible, gladly get out of the issue. They are' conscious that every step taken before the Com mittee is bringing them into still deep er discredit with the people, whose natural sense of justice and lair dealing revolts at this unparalleled and shame. ful attack upon the Chief Magistrate of the country.—P/uTudelphta Argus.

The partk ow. of thedistressing case, so far as we have been able to gather them, are as follows; Wambangla was engaged, temporarily, as the driver of Ai sir-horse wagon employed in hauling iron are to our depot from the banks on the Littlestown road, and was acting el a substitute for the regular driver, who had been absent for some dap'. When descending a bill, he proceeded to draw tbe.rubber, in doing which his foot slipped and he fell ender the wagon, at the time very heavily laden with Over ll* tons of ore. A hind wheel passed over his body juei above the hips. crushing the spine with the in. teguments in the immAiite vicinity and coat.' lug paralysis of the luwer extremities. The • team passed on towards town, and at the dis- Lance of about half-a-wile from the place °fan; cident was seen by some persons on the rued who noticed the absence of the driver and pro. seeded to ascertain the cause. On going up the road to the vicinity of Long's store they discovered the unfortunate man, still conscious but of course entirely helpless. Measures being immediately taken for his removal he was brought to town in a spring wagon and con veyed to the public hones of Mr. JR11:11PS Irvin, on Carlisle street, where he was visited by Dr. Horace Alleman, who upon examination dis covered injuries as above stated, and also that tbey were necessarily of a fatal cluaracter.—. The system was collapsed and all effort to es tablish a reaction proved unavailing. The stif f ferer lived about one hour after reaching Hau -1 over, when death came to his relief. His re mains were conveyed to York on Saturday and Interred on Sunday afternoon in.the Cemetery at that place.—Elarsorer Spectator.

Brethren In the cause, lot this work go actively forward. Each of our patrons may be able to add another name to our list, and this probably without much effort. Bat suppose it does require effort.
