The following is from the kit week's
Union Demokrat, a German paper in New
lierlin. The Editor, Mr. Gutalius, was
opposed to th jirinrijtfe upon which the
Subscription is made, but sine it is made
he submits to it as he does to any other
Law which he doe not approve, ad ab
hors the foul heresy of KEi'L in.vTrov. In
the following he effectually exposes those
w..ld-be party leaders, who after aiding
mid abetting the making of the Subscrip
tion, arc traitorouly endeavoring to make
arty capital out of it.
Inconsistency.
Some of the Democrats ef L'nion county
are punning a very inconsistent course,
which is not honorable. Mr. Slenker at
tended some of the Kailroad meetings last
winter, which were held in oar town, and
was familiar with the project to get a sub-
wnptionof our county to tbe tvasqueHauna j
JUilroad. lie was present at meeting,
where we opposed the proceedings intro
duced mainly by his party friends, and
was supported by every Democrat and
Whig iu the meeting except our humble
lf. It is true Mr. Slenker said nothing
iu the meeting, and that is the fault we
find with him ; for he had a right to speak
as it was a meeting of the citizens of New
Uerliu and vicitiity. As ho remained i
leut in the meeting when the project via
up to request the Commissiun'-rs to make
s subscription to the Susquehanna Rail
road, th meeting had a right to believe
that Mr. S. was in favor that the Commis
sioner should :ual;e the subscription to the

ii with his conduct since the subscription
is made. S.'s object is too plain to be
aiisanJrrstood ; he laid low until th sub
scription was made, no doubt with th ob
ject to make political capital for himself
and his party, by injuring Gen. Scott's
elvetior in our county. We hope the
honest Whigs in our county will not be !
. . .. i i i i
deceived by Mr. S., and such other Dom
ocrats who aided and assisted to induce the
Commissioners to make the subscription.
We ask the Whigs to examine into the
conduct of the Democrats, w ho are so loud
in their denunciations of the subscription,
and you can readily ascertain the cloven
Lot in their underhanded game.
We will now relate some of th gross
inconsistencies of the Democrats who arc
the loudest in their denunciations against j
the Whigs who were iu favor of the law j
and subscription. Yes, fellow Whigs, '
these very Democrats are applauding Gov. !
Bigler as th great champion of the tax- j
payers rights; and are denouncing Col. .
Sifer, in the bitterest terms, because the
iw was passed and Col. blitcr was a mem-1
ber of the Senate. Notwithstanding these
Democrats know the fact that Gov. Bigter
a the author of the law to authorize the j
evenil County Commissioners to make j
subscriptions to the Sosnuchanna Railroad
Company. " to mortnace the people's prop-
crty, according to the doctrine of Sleuk-1
er and thos who have joined him to make I
political capital for their candidates for
mmJt ' -' -
..... . .....'..., -ei, .i til.
President, Congress, aud Representative.
As the Democrats assisted to indue the
Commissioners to subscribe, we hops and
trust no honest Whiz will Lav anything
4.J .l .1 .
iu uo wun inos jLeicocratic trimmers. 1
M'e ask the Whigs to bear in mind that i
the Democrats passed the law, and that
they were the men who called the meetings
in our town, and prepared the proceedings
to request the Commissioners to subscribe
the two hundred thousand dollars.
It is true, at the Anti-Railroad meeting
in Sew Berlin on the 31st of Jnlj last,
there was a resolution passed, denouncing
tbe Governor; this was accomplished by
the Whigs and the honest Democrats,
against tbe will of those political trimmers.
Prior to that meeting, ad since, not one
word has ken said by theE deigning
Higier had this law passed : JJr. JiciJn

and the Democratic legislature ? Last
year, the cry of these Democrats was that
would reform the government thoroughly,
and protect th tax-payers. This year the
cry is to elect Mr. Keller, and he is to re
ffmn the Gnvrrnor and rnical his ones.
Gentlemen Democrats, will you tell u!door, beckoned them to rnb up. They
who is to rrfurm the Jhm'trmtic jinrfy ttt- (did so, but, lo and behold '. they perceived

the Governor and stand by him, he has
'enslaved the tax-payers," if your denun
ciations against the subscription arc cor

tended to injure the Whigs who have taken
part in the law aud subscription, and you
sustain the Governor becaus he belongs
to your party. How disgraceful such con
duct ' You all kuw the Governor is the
prime inver of the Railroad subscription. !

some distance from his residence, when he

perceived approaching him from the woods, Lf

a stout, able bodied ncro man. VIr. C. '
, . e. -
awaited his approach, thinkiag he belonged
to one of his neighbors, and had been sent
on an errand. Ho came boldly up to Mr.
C-, and accosted him thus :
" Your name is Mr. Core ; I am a run
away, and have long wished to have a con
versation with you. I do not fear being
apprehended I am well-armed (exhibit-
ng to Mr. C. a splendid brace f pistols
and a bowie knife) but I have long waited
to see you. In the first place, I wish to
pay you, as your negroes have been feed-
iug nie for several nienths, and I have
plenty of money (pulling out of hi
pocket as He spoke, a largo roll oi Danir
notes) and I assure you I never murdered j
any man io cei u. i got, u iijroumo;
houses,'" (naming many houses here,and I
exhibiting to llr. 0. a bunch of false keys.) j
Mr. 0., doubting the propriety of trying
to arrest him, as he was alone, concluded j
he would question him about two runa-
ways who had been cone sometime, and
asked the negro if he knew them, and had
seen them. The negro promptly replied
that he did know them, and volunteered
to assist Mr C. in arresting them, and
told him if he would meet him alone at
the same place next day, he would carry
him whore he could arrest both the ne-
croes, as lacy uau ncen ireuoicsome to

him, and he wanted to get rid of thera.
Mr. C. promised to meet him, at the
time and place appointed ; but, instead of
going alone, h took with him his over
seer and another yonng man, and 6ccrcted
them, armed with double-barreled guns,
ia the vicinity of the place of meeting.
At the time appointed, th runaway made
his appeal anc, but instead of finding Sir.
C. alone, found the two gentlemen with
their guns levelled upon him. II at

COUNTY, PENK, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1852.
European Murdkkkrs. A Parisian
correspondent, writing under dat of Sept.
iO, says : llie leuaa papers g:
ve an
aceouut of a horrible affair thus
; acsouut ot a horribl alUir thus : A
peasant sold at a fair a pair of oxen ; and
j too much, li placed the money he had!
i received, in a girdle which he fastoued '
1 around his daughter, who accompanied j
! him. Ou pasiing through a wood, a man '
stepped them and demanded the money.
The peasant denied having any. The tuan
knowiag ha had sold the oxen, seize!
him by the Lair, and draped him a little
. J ' ci .
way into the wood. Thr two other men
joined the Cist, and the three murdered
th peasant. The daughter distinctly saw
the crime perpetrated. She took flight,
reached a cottage, told the inmate, a
woman, of what had occurrd, and said
slje ,l!ul the money on her. Thi money
the woman took aud fastened ia a drawer,!
and, iu compliance with '.he prayer of the;
girl, secreted her in an adjoiuiag bed-j
chamber.
The three men cam?, told of their
crime, and one, it seems, was the woman's
husband. Thereupon bc, with a loud
laugh, said the daughter was in the next
room, and she produced the belt, to their
great joy. The men reeol!ctiag that the j
i.:rl could betray them, resolved at once to!

The Treaties negotiated in the Tcrrito-

with tho Sioux or Dakota Indians, by
which the Indian title to a fertile region
of country, as cxtcasive as the State of
Pennsylvania, was extinguished, were rat-
ified by the Senate at its late session, with
amendments. These amendments were
recently submitted by Governor Ramsey
to the Indians, for their assent, which was
given ; and this country is now open to
settlement from the United States. This
information is derived from the Governor
himself, who is at present ia Washington

The king asked the shepherd what time it

did not understand Spanish, but if he

in this country. Why, more, than th
mare, she should be considered entitled to
this exemption, is a question not easilj

have been moderately worked, they hav
not been at all injured thereby, and have)
produced nearly if not q iite as much milk
