The Observer has "observed" the article
referred to ; but the Observer has not read
it. It knows of but one individnal• who
has the time and the patience to wade
through itsfutterminable length—and thit
is the man who read the celebrated letter
of Gov. Wise to the Alabama editor. But
the Observer is willing to take the &slitters
version of positio.ns. And now what of
it? What does it prove ? Simply that this
gentleman—an able lawyer, but not more
able than other gentlemen in the country
—Agrees with Doecu.sx and disagrees with
BLACK on the question at issue. Very well;
what then? Shall we pin our faith, (taking
it for granted that we must believe this or
that proposition in political economy, sim

the •Seetisel seems to argue) to Mr. Ex-At
torney General immix, who never was a
Democrat so long as there was a Whig par
ty to fight for, or to Mr. Attorney General
Bum., who always has been a Democrat,
who is still a Democrat, and whose politi
cal lag we unfurled in Erie county in the
first county convention we over attended,
as a candidate for Governor, now some
eleven years since. The &minel can do as
it pleases—but as for us, so long as they
walk in the true faith of the party, we shall
stand by our old leaders, like Judge BLAcx,
instead of such new converts as Reverter

As to the opinion of the Se7u;se/ that we
are a "bold man," even to "recklessness,"
we have a word tosay. We are sometimes
inclined to think that the opinion is, in
part, correct. We recollect' of being so
"bold," nay, even so "reckless,' as to raise
our voice and use our pen in denunciation
ofthe "Wilmot proviso" when all the mem
bers of the present State Administration,
whose organ the awitiae/is, with but one ex
ception, quivered and quaked before the
then popular cry of "tree dirt" and "free
men." We maintained the integrity of
the party then as we maintain it now. We
stood by the administration of Jilin K.
Pout then as we stand by that of Jima
Boatissis now ! We denounced the traitor
Waxer and his followers then, as we de
nounce the traitor FOXIMY and hi follow
en now. The eipas of those men said we
were a "bold" and a Ireekless" "scribbler"
then, just as the organs of- them men say
WO are a "bold" and a "reckless" "sevib
bler now. And, let ns add.' we haveimen
the day when the very men, who were then
stemma when our "boldness" and "reeking's
nem" ware called into play—for esszaple,on
the Tariff question, when all Pennsylvania
arrayed itself against President Poi —the
Kansas and Nebraska bill, when there was
another quaking and quivering among the
weak-kneed brethren. In neither instance
did we flinch—we "boldly" carried the flag
of the party ? -we "recklessly" stood by the
Administration, and we are there now.—

for quarrel with the President, may

we shall follow him, even at the bidding

In conclusion let us add, these mortal
allusions toms own course, or to dip course
of others, am unpkesant—Lbut the
upon wets! oticasime has called our po*
tioal integrity in question, and hence the
occasion has seemed to demand it.
IL B. Lower, an ansulited lead
sr of the Republican party of Erie county,
visited Jabs Anson in his prisim at Charles
, town some ten days since, and in his
account of that visit, as published in the
Tiue .nevus's, occurs the following sen
knew
"He, Brows, alluded to Crawford as being
very dear to him, as its soil was hallowed
as the regal:who. of his former wife and

from that region was most cheering."
How this "noble old man," as his ado
gist quoted calls him, must have "loved"
his children itedeeenixod below by an eye
witness quite as creditable as Mr. L., even
with the Anoints's endonement. We
quote :

We beg to assure the Cleveland
Ras Dealer that it is mistaken in supposing
the suktiect of the following notice was ever
Mayor; of Erie. Whether there is any
truth in the balance of the Dealer's article
we are not prepared to say—et all events
the occurrence mentioned as having taken
place at Wheeling is not recorded in the
'history of that gentleman's adventures in
Virginia m related by himaeLf in the last
'number of his orpan; The 2hge Artseriran
Ex-Mayor Lower, of Erie, who took so
prominent a part in the Erie Railroad riots
and is one of the mast energetic and suc
cessful "Rail-rippers" in the world., stopped
at Wheeling the other day on his way home
from Harper's Ferry, whither he had been
to comfort the doomed Baoww and his corn
cads. He opened not his Month at the
Ferry, but feeling safe in- Wheeling . he
"cussed" Virginia and her chivalry all in
to a heap and pronounced a glowing eulo
gy upon Old Bitown. In a few minutes he
was waited upon by a deputation of citizens
with a long rope and told if he did'nt leave
town instantly he would positively be
strung up to a tree. The Mayor seized his
valise and tore for the Depot like a lunatic.
Since the above was in type, we find an
other account of the same affair in the
Cleveland National annoerat, as follows :
Amami* BAD "SCARE."—Loway, the he

while in that re ion, ontits.ape interesting
scene that occuFred durinif -4 his trip, as we
are informed. ~.
On his ••returin from Charlestown and
Harper's Ferry,. Lower stopped at Wheel
ing. Seating hinself in a public room, he
commenced m a ostentatious and ridicu
lousim manner h startling narrative. Four
or five wags, si ing around, soon took a
proper maim of the man, and concluded
to have some at his expense. Provi
ding themselv with a rope, they waited
upon the valia4t Lowav and notified him
that he could have just fifteen minutes to
remove his inctindiary body and raps from
Virginia Territory, or take a hempen exit
to that "undiscovered" country. LOWitY

scared. f

with otherwise, it is not just to accuse him
of ever having been Mayor of Erie.

paper, sad we think the decisions of Courts,
in the main, are not legitimate subjects for
newspaper animadversion ; but there is a point
at which all such delicacy must be laid aside.
This county has already been saddled with a
bill of costs of many thousand dollars in an
attempt to enforee the laws against this crimi
nal. Re has hid two fair trials—or rather he
has had one fair legal trial, and another aqua&
ly as fair, which was not legal. The result
arrived at in both cases was the same. Twelve
responsible, intelligent men, have twice pro
nounced him guilty of murder! It seems to us
that the end of the case, in view of these facts,
ought to have been reached, anti the people re
lieved from ihrtber taxation on his account.—
Let us also add,that we do not think there la a
tax payer in Erie county that desires this un
fortunate man's blood, but so long as the law
punishes the crime of murder with.death, they
believe every murderer should be hang; they
believe, also, that when Courts halt, and palter,
and procrastinate in the administration ofjus-
Lice to the criminal they do more to make our
laws a dead letter upon the statists books than
all other aliases combined. And benee it is,
and not from any barbarous desire to witness
a fellow -being strangled, that this decision of
our Court will meet with almost universal con
demnation
't gives us pleasure to record the fact,
that one minister of the gospel, whose discourse
we listened to an Thanksgiving Day, allowed
that occasion to pass withoutrinthalging Is azo

first appeared in our columns last week, for a
case of their justly celebrated:Old Wheat Whis

we are commanded to take.* little wine for the
stomach's sake, we had a good opportunity to
submit the articlusent us to several competent
judges, and their verdict, together with our
own, was that it is the hest ever brought to
this city. There is no doubt that an iudis
atimitutte use of liquor is the prolific source of
many evils ; nor is there atql more doubt that ,
the judietotut use of a pure article is oft tithes
beneficial ; nay, absolutely necessary. Many
physicians are now ordering 'IL for their con-
Mooptims patients, and in runny estese*rith the

posewhere beneficial results are sought, a
pure article is 'absolutely essential, hence when
we tell those who are seeking for such infor
mation that the House of E. P. MutntaTos
Bao., Philadelphia, is such a place we state
what we know by experimental demonstration.
Besides their line stock of native liquors, they
have perhaps the hest assortment of Wines and

The handing occupies en entire building in the
most fashionable part of Broadway, with 25
feet front, and running through 200 feet to
Mercer-street. The front is a single iron
Gothic arch, three stories high, the two lower
stories being formed of eight panes of plate
glass, four in the lower story, each .144 by 5
feet, and four in the second story, each 114 by
6 feet. The basement is used for setting-up
and peeking the nun:blues, the space under the
Broadway sidewalk makings nice shop for re
pairs, and the space under the Mercer-greet
sidewalk being occupied for getteratieg the
steam by which the building is heated. On
the first floor is the beautifttl salesroom; 25 by
160 feet, 60 feet in the rear being used for re
ceiving, delivering and storing the machines
as they come from the manufactory. is the
second story, directly over the salesroom, is
the receiving-room, where ladies who purchase
machines are taught the strt of using them.—
This is an elegant drawing-room, richly car

library. Adjoining the drawing-room, is the
ladies' toilet room, containing a looking-glass,
a marble wash-stand, pine for hanging cloak"
&c. We were informed that this company
have already sold about 30,000 of their ma

would amount to $8,0004100. The machines

unoccupied. how we turn within ourselves for
