Fourth of July.
The 75th anniversary of our Independ
ence was commemorated in a becoming
stylc, in our Borough, by the " Humane
Fire Company" and the " Monroe Ar
tillerists," of Fenncrsville, under Cap
tain Slutter, a very handsome military
corps, that paid us its first visit on that
day. At an early hour in the fday the Fire
Company, preceded by the " StroUDS
Jirr.a Brass Band," met their guests in
the vicinity of the Borough and escorted
them to the Washington Hotel, where
they were welcomed to our
a very neat and apppropriate speech by
tf. C. Burnett, Esq. At 1 1 o'clock they
repaired to the Court House, where a pro
cession was formed under the superin
tendence of the Marshal, Gen. Borert
Brown, and Dr. A. 11. Jackson, assis
tautj "which proceeded to the Presbyte
rian Church, where the services Vere
omnienccd with invocation of the throne
of grace, in a truly impressive and fervent
manner, by the lie v. Baker Johnson.
After which the Declaration of Independ
ence was read in a clear and correct man
ner, by I..M. Ruckman. Then followed
the oration by J. L. llingwalt, Esq. which
is highly spoken of for ability and patri
otic sentiments.
After prayer by the Ilev. Mr. Cox, the
procession was- re-formed, and marched
to the Washington Hotel, where a most
bountiful and sumptuous dinner was in
waiting. In a word, the day passed off
pleasantly, and to the general satisfac
tion of all participants.
The Supreme Bench.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says : The
Lancaster Convention has certainly present
ed a powerful ticket for the Supreme Bench
and one well calculated to secure an en
thusiastic support. We point to "it with
pleasure. It contains the names of gentle
men of the very highest legal ability and
the only surprise is, when we remember the
Finall salary attached to the office, that they
consent to serve. But the deserve the more
credit for this pecuniar' sacrifice, for such in
1-irt it will prove to most of them in the e
vent of success, and hence they are entitled to
the most liberal appreciation of their fellow
citizens. We repeat, the ticket is every way
credible -to the Convention the Common
wealth and the Judiciarv.
05Col. Bigler has been presented with a
'gold headed cane, by some of his political
-friends. Tiiis, we suppose, is to help him
over the course, and tickle the aristocratic
notions of the leaders of his pa rty. Govern
or Johnston1 can out travel him without a
cine.
All for Uie Party.
A committee appointed bj" the Harris
Lurg (Locofoco) convention lias put forth
an address to the party, urging them to
rustaiu their Judicial ticket on party
grounds, and for the influence it -will have
upon the Presidential question. They
pve a short biographical sketch of each
of their candidates, in which every strong
point is magnified and all the weak ones
suppressed. The age of each candidate
is given, except that of JtiJgc Gibso?i, who
i"? said to be 74. Every appointment
Judge G. has ever received is paraded,
with the exception of one he now holds
as Chief Justice of the State, which was
conferred by Gov. Rilner the Judge re
signing several years before the . .expira
tion of his term, for the purpose of pro
curing from Gov. Ritner a reappointment
for a full term of fifteen years fan act
which was severely condemned by the
democrac' as unbecoming and undignified
in the Chief Justice of this great com
monwealth. They, however, take care;
to cover this suppressed fact to- state that
lie headed the Jackson electoral ticket in
182-1. And they conclude by appealing
to cevery democrat to yotc the whole
democratic ticket, without alteration or
change," assuring them that the democ
racy of the Hniou . expect them to sustain
the party and its nominees.

"TOur Political Prospecs.
The prospects of the Whig party in Penn
sylvania are flattering in the highest degree.
The political skies are unclouded and bright,
and wn look forward with confidence to'a
brilliant Whig triumph in October. What-
ist among Whigs in certain quarters, they
are unanimously for the re-election of Gover-
nor J0IINST JNt wh080 aHtniniatration has
done much to advance the interests and ele
vate the position of our Commonwealth.
Gov. Johnston's Administration is universally
popular, and we point to the unexampled
fact. He has proved faithful to his party,
unanimity of the Whig party as evidence of the
and to the interest of the Commonwealth, and
his course has received the unanimous en
dorsement of the Whigs, and the meed of ap
probation from the honest and the unpreju
diced of the Democratic party. Governor
Johnston will be nominated by acclamation,
and the campaign will open with an outburst
of popular enthsiasm that will cause a tern
ble shaking among the spoils cohorts of Loco
focoism. JOHNSTON AND THE RE
DUCTION OF THE STATE DEBT is the
motto inscribed upon the Whig banner, and
the patriotic of all parties will rally around
it in the majestic of their strength, and car
ry it in triumph through the coming contest.
The Reading Journal, in an able article on
this subject, speaks our sentiments exactly,
" Governor Johnston," says that paper, " has
achieved more for the benefit of the people
than any of his predecessors during the last
quarter of a century. When first placed at
the head of affairs, he found the credit of the
State greatly prostrated and its finances del
ranged. To bring order out of chaos was a
work of great difficulty, but he set manfully
about the task. "How successfully he has
been let the history of his administration an
swer. Since he has been in office, not only
have all the current liabilities been promptly
discharged, but more than half a million of
the load of debt, accumulated in previous
years, hasbecn paid, which, with the liberal
appropriations towards completing the North
Branch Canal, the improvements of the Co
lumbia railway and Schuylkill Inclined Plane,
and other salutary outlays show an actual
saving of nearlya million of dollars. Three
years more of the same line of policy will ac
complish greater wonders will, in a word, i
place our Commonwealth in a position from '
which there will be no retrograding. No
learnceuoeappreuenaea oi any new toaus,
or any increase of State liablities, while he ,
holds the reins. He stands pledged before the

brief period, and much more would doubtless
have been accomplished had the Legislature

human folly a folly of which Ave hope the
people of the Keystone will never be guilty."

Hear whajt the neighbors of Mr. Comly,
one.of the Whig candidates for the Supreme
Bench, say of his worth. The Danville Dem
ocrat has the following article on the sub
ject.
Seldom, if ever, did we witness a greater
unanimity of good feeling, than prevaileda
mong our good townsmen on Wednesday, when
the Telegraph announced our own Comly as a
candidate- for a place on the Suprcnie Bench.
J'jvqry one was pleased ; many even to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm ; nor did this
feeling. partake in the least of a partisan na
ture. Both Whigs and Democrats united in
their demonstrations of pleasure.- It was in
deed the spontaneous expression of all our
citizens in favor of one for whose talents, in
tegrity, find true nobility of soul, they enter
tain the most profound respect.
As soon as it was known that Mr. Comly
was nominated, our citizens generally waited
upon him with many congratulations, and in
the evening, our excellent Band serenaded
him byperforming some of their finest piec
es. -

worth, Dr. Moffat is the richer man of the
two; but the probability is, that Mr. Astor is
worth over 3,000,000. Dr. Moffat's dwell-
ing house, with its out-buildings, is valued at
$185,000, and ho owns other property in the
city to the amount of over a million and a
half. Besides this, ho owns a bank in Wall
street, and farms, almost innumerable, with

r The Shawneetown (111.) Advocate of the

up of a gang of freebooters, and the arrest of
several, whose combination was but little
less than one which lately created so much
excitement in Michigan. Their head-quarters
were on Wolfs Island, Ky., near the cor
ner of the States of Kentucky, Tennessee, Ill
inois and Missouri.

them. Another of their methods of specula-
tin"- in nenroes seems to have been as Follows:
Some of their emissaries would make a tour
through some of the neighboring Slave States,
enticing slaves to run away, and providing
their victims with means to get into Southern
Illinois. Arrived there, the fugitives were
arrested by others of the gang on the lookout
for the runaways; fictitious claims to them
were then set up, and maintained by false
testimony and perjury. The slaves were
then taken into one of the Slave States and
sold. THey carried on another species of
swindling upon an extensive scale, by means
nf firtitmiiR nl.iirns against estates of deceased
v c
persons. Having lorged notes oi large amount
against such estates, they would prove the
validity of the claim by some of their gang.
In some cases they have gone so far as to
Like depositions, and were provided with
County seals and everything requisite to give
their proofs the semblance of legality.

We can add our own testimony to the val

j amazing and speedy relief from its use in a
