we do say it is marvelous indeed that they should

when correct ones were much More natural and
easy to, be supposed. We envy not the man who
is ever teady to imagine corrupt' motives for every
aetien in another, without the least evidence to sus
tain the imputation. It .carries a suspicious mark
otspe's own disposition to do so. The idea, there
, fothst. Mr. Little vans influenced by corrupt ap
' , pliances from the Banks, to refrain from voting on
certain 'preliminary questions where his vqte one
way or the other would have effected nothing, is
not only palpably ridiculous, but when it is shown
is - it is in- the 'following article, that he was ab
sent im the duties of a committee in most instances
cited, and that his vote on the main question in oth

We vomment thus freely upon tho violent—we

in genera We probably differ, widely 'differ with
him in our views 'on some questions of public poli

no ground for impeaching histumesty and sincerity.
From inveral years personal acquaintance• with
him, we should say that he was vastly less likely
0, be influenced by motives of sordid pecuniary
gain, than by his ambition to gain a name and a
fame among his fellow men by some great achieve
ment of his talents or influence in public life; and
we hav4 no oil* motive in copying the following
defence of his course, than to afford his constituents
in this county an opportunity to judge impartially
of the propi*ty and justice with which he has been

subseqpent to that period, he was attending to his
duties !as Chairman of the Select Committee to
whom Were re.ferred the charges against Judge Ir
vin. We were at Harrisburg scene weeks during
the time. There were in this case more than 100
witnesses in attendance ; and die investigation oc
lcupied'all the time that could' be afforded by the.
!Ctunmittee for five or six weeks. During this peri
,od.thqy were in session a part of almost every day
and evening. If, during some.,pFtion of this peri
od, his name should be round in the list of yeas
and nays, is it a matter of astonishment ? Is it ev
idence of the corruption imputed to him by the
honeitt and eharilable Democrat? But., says the
Democrat, " durir6 ,, this period we find his vote.re
corded in several other cases in which a party vote
was not required." In reply to this we my that
the Journals shoW his cote rectirded'but rarely up

tituting his press to such vile purposes. But enough
appears upon the record to show us Mr. Little's rm
tual position upon this} bill It is well known that
one rather approved mode of defeating a is to
postpone its considerdtien from time to time. On
page 665 we find him voting to postpone. Again,
on page 690 we find him voting to postpone. This
was after the bill had passed the- House by a dem
ocratic majority, and bad been returned with amend
ments by the Senate, striking out the House'
amendments, which Oie democrats considered so
important. Why then, if Al?. Little was favor
of - the bill, did he twice vote to postpone, knowing
that there were demi:beadle votes enough to pass it
without a 'snug vote I Again, 011 knell 691, 692,
and 693, we find him uniformly voting against re

cused of dodging. • Where now is the "treason,"

The next aecusatio' relates to the Farmers and
Meduinics Bank of ' adelphia. This, one of the
oldest and soundest : • "s in the State , for this
reason it received a pretty general democratic sup
port. In the House, where there was during the
session, a very strong , democratic majority, it pass
ed by a very decided vote, to wit, yeas 49, nays
32- Of the A%• who voted , for the bill, 99 were
Whigs, and 20 Democrats. Among the latter were
Wilcox, Zeigler, Walters, Williams, Souder, Wil
liam Y. Roberts, (who during the last session was
the very head and front Of the opposition to the
same institution,) Nieldeson, Fausokl, Gordon, Da
vid Evans, Lamberton, Limbach, Long of Barks,
Long of Bucks, Kerr and Krick ; each of whom
was and is quite as highly respected by their party
as the editor of the 'Montrose Democrat. There
were 19 members who did not vote, a majority of
whom were Whigs; for the record shows that near
ly every democrat:. voted upon one side or the oth
er, so that if there was any dodging, " it was princi
pally done by the Whigs. How strange it must
resin to this immaculate editor, that the bank should
endeavor to persuade their own members to dodge
a vote upon their owls bill ; , for if he discovers an
omission to vote upop any question, he can imag
ine nothing but a corrupt motive for such omission.
If it -was such a motive that induced Mr. Little to
omit in this instance, how much more corrupt must
have been the motives of the 20 very respectable
democrats who voted for the bill, and vet not a
syllable is breathed apinst their honor. if it were
it would not be believed.
—On_nasse 964 we' fi nd dust on the last day of the

House from the Senate, having passed there by a
constitutional majority. This being the last day,

W. On the motion to proceed to the considera
tion, Mr. Little voted No ; in this way aiding to
defeat another of the bills he is accused of favor
ing.
Last in the list is the Bank of Chambersburg.—
On page 914, upon the question, " shall the bill
pass I" Mr. Little voted No !
We have now shove by the record the utter fal
lady of the groundless charges made against •Mr. L,
and that he actually opposed each of the four bills
he is accused of favoring. But says the editor,
"Mr. Little consummated his corruptioa bg voting

whom Mr. Little appeared to be chief, and they
made a furious onset against it and finally voted it
down." Oh, terriblel terrible ! who are " they" who
did all this I Mr Hempstead says " Mr. Little and
the undivided Whiy delegation." Now let us see
where the lie is The vote upon this question stands
Yeas. 33, Nays 43, Of the 43 nays, 27 are demo

Bradford, Redick, Perry, Nickleson, 'McKee. Long,
of Burks, LambertonNerr, Hill , Hallowell, Fegely,
Fausold, Bushnell, and others of the same class of
democrats. Only 16 Whigs voted against it, and
yet Mr. Hempstead says " the undivided whip del
egation, Mr. Little sit their head, foremost in the
tight, made a furious onset against it and finally
voted it down." The-journal shows that the Demo
crats voted it down, many more voting against than
for it, and the whiga voting upon both Sides ; and
they did right in voting against it ;—for it was a
disgrace to the journal ; and the mean imputations
atempted to be cast upon them for so, doing, are a
disgrace to the man Ifmt would offer them—a dis
grace to the press--and a disgrace to the party.
We have only to say in addition to what we have
already said and shown, that the Montrose Demo
crat will not effect its object by stooping to equivo
' cation and falsehoed. No permanent capital was
tver yet made against any man by such measures.
What the Democrats of this county think of Mr.
Little and his course in the legislature appears in
another column in which they again, (and at a meet
ing very fully attended--" enough to officer the
meeting decently," -I-held at the Court House on
Monday evening o 1 Court week,) express their
unquahked approval of his legislative course.—

somehow or other the friends of Forrest have raked
up the alleged 'insults to their favorite, on the occa

to Bitch a degree asi to get up a most intense but
ridiculous excitemeht against him. ;Hence the de

below. Each of these eminent rival actors bad been

each hero would have - gone to swell the audience of
their respective favorites and give them the loudest
applause, instead of going as they had no right to
do, to disturb,, insult and impose upon those who
chose to hear rind patronize another. These rowdy
disturbers had clearly no right to - go there if they
did not want tb hear Macready. Accordingly, al

opposition, he was induced by a letter signed by a
large number' of the most respectable citizens of

The NewlYork Express of Tuesday the Sth,
gives the following account of the first disturbance, :
The Astor, Place Opera House was the scene, last
night, of one IA the mast outrageous and disgrace
ful riots that ever happened in this Oty. Mr: Ma
cready Was announced to perform " Macbeth ' there,
and there was a very full house a half hour .before
the rising of the Curtain. The upper tier was cram

than half) were warm in their plaudits, and waved
their handke Thiefs, but they were overborne by
the horrid and uncouth noises which continued, al
most without intermission, (except when Mr. Clarke
appeared, and he was cheered) uptil the end of so
much oPthe tragedy as was, performed. Mr. Ma
tready walked down- to the footlights, and abode
" the pelting ,of the pitiless storm" of groans and
shouts of derision and contumely with wonderful
firmness. A. placard was hung over the upper box
