DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.
JOHN BANKS,
Subject to the decision of the State Convention
"Historical notes of tho early settlement of
Monroe and Northampton counties" by A Sub
scriber," came to hand too late for publication
this week they shall have a place in our

GREAT FRESHET.
On Tuesday night last, the weather which
had been for three days previous intensely cold,
began to moderate, and early on Tuesday morn
ing it commenced raining the wind at the
lime being from the North East. It continued
raining without intermission until about eleven
o'clock on Thursday night. The wind shift
ing to the South West, the great body of snow
which had previously fallen, speedily dissolved,
and togelher with the rain, produced the great
est freshet which has ever been known in this
section of country. The two bridges which
were across the Pocono at the West end of
this Borough, have been swept away. The
North and South ends of the Bridge across
McMichael's Creek on the road leading from
this place to the Water Gap, are carried off,
as are also the bridges at Stokes' Mill and at
Cotant's on Brodheads Creek. The covered
Bridge across Brodheads Creek at the East
end of the Borough, is the only bridge stand
insi in this neighbourhood, and it has been
somewhat damaged. The mill of Stogdell
Stokes on Brodheads Creek has been very
much injured, and several families living on j
the banks were obliged to- move. The Stable j
of John S. Van Yliet and the Shoemaker shop
of William Smiley on said Creek, were carried
off. Depue S. Miller of this Borough, and
Elijah Schock living near Brodheads Creek,
are sufferers to a considerable amount. The
roads being impassable, we are unable to say
what other injury has been done, but we fear
that the above is but a fraction of the whole
loss sustained in this vicinity.
Melancfeoly Occurrence."
On Monday last, a man by the name of
George Ace, who had been driving the horses
attached to a threshing machine, at the barn of
William Eylenberger about three miles from
this Borough, being about to quit threshing,
-walked' up to the machine, and with his left,
hand pushed down the loose straw that had
just been put in, when the machine caught his
mitten and drew in his hand, which was torn
from his arm above the wrist, and passed
through the machine in the mitten. The arm
was amputated near the elbow by Doctors Tail
and Stokes oi Stroudsburg. Ace is, as we are
informed, a poor man, living in Smithficld town
ship in this county, and has a wile and sever-
al children who are dependent upon his daily
labour for support. His former industrious
habits and present situation- should call forth
the benevolence of those who have enough and
to spare.
The editor of the Belviderc Apollo thus cour
teously declines the polite request of another
editor.
JJj3 We take the liberty to inform the gen
tlemanly editor of the Monroe Democrat that
we will neither "exchange' nor 'go to h-11," Tor
his gratification. Our reason for declining
the first is, that we should be considerable lo
sers by the "exchange," and if we had no bet
ter mason for declining the second, the fear of
being thrown into his company would be amply
sufficient.
KB JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN.
Mr. Editor: I was pleased to see in your
paper an extract from the Harrisburgh Tele
graph," asking for the repeal of all unconstitu
tional laws passed by .the-last Legislature, more
particularly that connected with the Judges.
1 woulJ take the liberty to recommend to my
felljw citizens, that they advise their rulers to!
take a few steps farther in the work of reform i
and commence at "head quarters,! and to low
er the salary of the Govern r and every other
public officer, to elect the Canal Commission
ers and diminish their number instead' of in
creasing it to send out Committees whose bu
siness it shall be made to examine into the use
fulness of all the canals and rail roads that
have been put into operation by tho State, and
that wherever these Committees find any canal
or rail road in which Stale stock is he'd that
does not pay fqr keeping itself in repairs,, that
the IegUlaturo uppji their ropresenjajion of
2
thatfact, pass a law anthonzing its sale, and'if
it cannot be sold lei it be immediately aban
doned. Let the people call for a repeal of the frank
ing privilege which costs them from twenty to
thirty thousand dollars a year, since it has be
come the mainspring of so much corruption,
used by members of the Legislature as it is for
electioneering purposes, so that the representa
tives of the people seem to have forgotten their
duties as legislators and lost sight of the inter
ests of the people in their zeal to scatter elec
tioneering documents. Can it be, that the peo
ple of Pennsylvania have so far forgotten their
personal rights and interests as to submit to
such lavish and worthless expenditures as will
filch from their pockets by the rigid process of
taxation a million of dollars yearly to chequer
up the State with useless canals and rail roads
that can never benefit the people only while
they are building and whn built cant keep them
selves in repair, and in addition to this, employ
a set of demagogue Commissioners, underling
upstarts, bosses and sub-bosses, to eat out their
hard earnings, or pay the postage on pamphlets,
speeches, letters, &c. to the amount aforesaid.
The captivating name of internal improvement
will fail to sweeten the bitter cup of taxation
from which generations unborn will have to
drink- The people have rights as well as their
representatives and oflice-holders, and it may
well be doubted, whether the representatives
of a free people have a right to fasten upon their
constituents, a debt; rhat posterity can never
liquidate. "All men are created freo and equalr
and endowed with certain unalienable rights,
among which are life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness or property, and for the protection
of these governments are instituted," and not
for the purpose of making canals and rail roads,
and riveting the manacles of debt, without lim
itaiioiv of time, upon tho people. But we are
told that as patriotic sons of the Keystone State,
we will pay our taxes cheerfully and wilt never
suffer the credit of our state to be degraded.
The people may pay their taxes, but that they
will do it cheerfully will bo quite doubtful. The
great mass of the people of Pennsylvania are
too intelligent to be tickled behind the ear with
such a doctrine, although it may come from high
authority. There are many men who want to
see the end of their Job, and some time when
their debts can be paid, and not be made the
subject of perpetual taxation. I boldly assert
that these are encroachments more daring than
those against which the patriots of the resolu
tion fpught and bled, and dare not we speak to
our servants, our legislators as manfully as they
spoke to a sceptred tyrant, and demand a repeal
of all laws encroaching upon state or individual
rights.

Subjoined is the census of Northampton
county, for five several periods commencing in
1800 the returns for 1790, when the enumer
ation was first made were only of counties the
townships not being separately numbered in
the published list. Old Northampton then com
prising the present counties of Northampton,
Lehigh, Pike, Wayne, Monroe and several
townships of Schuylkill, contained but 24,250
inhabitants. I have obtained the returns for
1840 from the communications of the Marshals
in the Easton papers, the others I transcribed
from the official tables published by order of
Congress and are correal,

Shocking Murder;
We have another shocking murder to rocord:
Anthony Hasbrouck, Esq. of Fallsburg,. Sul
livan county, N. Y., (the gentleman who was
a candidate for Congress in that district in
1838) was inhumanly murdered a few days
since by a neighbor and connexion of his, by
the name of Hardenbergh. It is said that Has
brouck had lately commenced an ejectment
against Hardenbergh which is supposed to huve
been tho cause of the commission of the horrid
deed. According to the information we huve
received, Hardenbergh went to Ilasbrouck's
honsc, and in presence of his wife, presented
a rifle to his breast, saying that "he was a dead
man," and that Hasbrouck pushed the rifle
aside, and its contents were discharged into
the wall, and that Hardenbergh immediately
drew from his pocket a pistol, fajsoVshot Mr.
Hasbrouck through the. breast, That Mrs, II.
ran qut and gave the alarm, and that Harden
bergh, before leaving, took a knife and com
pletely laid open the bowels of his victim. The
icritninal' w-as arrested and committed,
for the jeffersonian republican.
Herewith are tables of the population of tho"
townships composing Monroe county, from 1800
to the "present year. It wilT bo seen that the
rate of increase has varied very much,, during
the last forty years viz:

must also be an error in the number of tons of

A Liberal Gift.-
We learn that Nathan Dunn; Esq., recently
presented the munificent donation of $20,000 to
the Haverford School, a Quaker Institution of
much-merit-, and devoted to lhe purposes of ed
ucation. Phis-is truly liberal, and adds another
ray of brightness to the character which Mr.
Dunn has earned for himself as a patriotic citi
zen and single-hearted philanthropist. Such
men are indeed ornaments and examples in a
Christian community; and acts like that to which
we have just referred, are not only beneficial
to the immediate objects to which they are ap
plied, but they cannot but have a humanizing
and elevating effect upon society at large. The
fact of this donation was known to us some
days since,-but the gentleman who communica
ted it, did so with an understanding that no
public mention should be made of it. But see
ing it noticed elsewhere, we consider ourselves
relieved from all implied obligation, and rejoice
in the opportunity of alluding thus briefly to
conduct thaf docs honour to human nature.
Application will be, made to the Legislature, at
the J anuary sesion, for a Corporation with a capital
of two millions, and power, to construct a Rail Road
from the City of New Brunswick to the river Del
aware at Eafeton, with power to construct as many
branches to different points on tbe Delaware as
may bo deemed dosirable, with such other privileges
as may bo necessary for these purposes. Sussex
