JUDGE WATTS IN JUNIATA
Tho Juniata Sentinel speaks in complimenta
ry terms of Messrs. Prow: and Morrison, the
Associate Judges of that county who retire
from the Bench, and adds—
"Of Judge Watts it is needless to speak.—
'He has presided dyer our courts but little snore
: than two years, yet no Tan ever enjoyed 'the
confidence of the public to a greater extent
than he does at this time. That he is eminent
ly qualifsed,-is universally conceded, and that.
hellos discharged his duties without fear, fa
vor at affection,' even the most unscrupulous
-will net:deny. He is respected and commen
ded by all num; and but for the strenuous ef
forts of a few political leaders of the opposi
tion party, to crerce the Democrats to sustain
the nominee for President Judge, he would poll
nn overwhelming majority in this county. As
it is he will do well, for no phety tactics can
drive many honest, candid_ and independent
democrats in this county from supporting bins;
and if the other counties of the district will
but do as much as Juniata towards securing an
Independent Judiciary, Judge Watts will be
chosen by a handsome vote.",

Mr. Bonhams attempts to explode what he
calls this '• idle boast." But how does he do
it ? The figures he gives above are all correct,
but they don't prove that the Farmers of the
State have paid far more taxes under Governor
- Johnston - than - before: -- ThiTire tlio amounts
of stases assessed—not the amounts collected.—
These increased assessments were made by the
Board of Revenue Commissioners, composed of
a majority of Loccifocos. But thc.actualpay
men! of taxes have not increased, but rather de
creased, as every man will find by referring to
the same pogo of the Auditor General's Re
port from which Mr. Bonham quotes. Be!uw
we give the true statement of the amount of
State tax collected in Cumberland county with

DECREASE,
So that Gov. JOHNSTON is proved to , have
actually received over THREE THOUSAND
DOLLARS LESS from the Fartners of Cum
berland-county in the way of taxes than did
his locofoco predecessor, Gov. Shunit Is not
the " idleboast" of Gov. Johnston's friends
made good? Has I%lr. Bonham "exploded" it?
On the contrary is not Mr. Bonham proved to
be guilty of a most gross perversion of the re
cords of tlfe State, and of attempting todeceirc
and mislead the . honest Farmers of Cumber
land eofinty ? .
• When we contrast the taxes received thro'-
out the entire State during the same fouryears,
we find a result equally favorable to Governor
Johnston's administration. , We find that in
two years of Gov.•Slinhk's time the tiics re
ceived amounted to over two hundred and four
teen thousand dollars more than during the•last
two years of Gov. Johnston'Erterni. We quote
from the Auditor General's Report for 1850,
page 118 :

Tliese "facts and figures" not only convict
Mr. Bonham of the grossest misrepre'sentittion,
but triumphantly sustain Gov. Johnston's as:
scrtiou that over half a million of the State
debt has been paid .4 without any i4oreased tax
ation upon the Farmcrs of the Commonwealth."
We defy Mr. Bonham to disprove them, and
when he makes another " great" speech we
- hope - ho will stiek more closely to the truth.
LIGHT FOR MIL .1301111LIAIII I
One sage conclusion to which Mr. Bonhanes
very fanciful .facts and figures" has brought
him is that Gov. Johnston has not-redue6cl the
State - DOA over half a millioe. of dollars,—as
his friends so confidently boast. We are really
afraid that this wading through. such aleap of
"facts and figures" has been a little too much
for Mr. Bonham and that his wits have really
become somewhat obfuscated! We must there
fore bring the light of Messrs. Bickel, Banks and
Russers certificate to bear upon him," so that
his understanding may again be illuminated.—
Messrs. Banks and Bickel are as 3:mon pure
locos as Mr. Bonham and ex-officto are probably
as well acquainted With "facts nnd figures."—
We invite Mr:Bonham's particular attention to
the great six hundred and fifty-nine thousand
dollar faCt mentioned in the following certifi

It is impossible to, confine voters to, strict par

distinguishes Judge Watts, it is not only natu

➢IR. lIONRAM AND STATE DEBT
•Mr. Denham coriimi3naes his gicat:sPeech in
the last VOlunteer with a lahored vindication
of hie vote laeCWinter to increase the State
State Debt. ' And what is his vindicatioiz?--
_Why if wo understand him it is simply this,,
ilearguOS - thit if it was good - poliovto- build
a now road avoiding the Inclined Plane.at'Phil- .
adelphia (Which cost $400,000) then it :is a
ilually good Policy' to go on spending money
.and increasing the State Debt for the purpose of
avoiding the Inclined Planes of the Allegheny
Portage Rail Road anilimiroving the 'curves
of the CMumbia Rail Road. This, if we ha've"
succeeded in raking 'out his meaning from the
mass of figures in which it is befogged, is his
argument.- lir. - Bonham' is therefore - not:only
satisfied that his vote last winter 'in favor of
NEWSTATE DEBT was right, bat 'hedeclarei
his intention of reycating it if he is re-elected.
'We quote from his speech as follows:
A3iOUNT
consider, theiefore, an avoidance Of the
plands en thd Portage : road as, vital to the. in
tereits of the‘CoMmonwealth, and .1 ihall arti:
lain that nzerisure as long as X Lave the honor
to represent, in part, the people of this county
at the seat of government."
Now what would this avoidance of the
Planes cost? Some time ago, Robert Fairies,
an Engineer, was employed by the Canal Board
to make a survery of a 'route to' avoid these
Planes. He reported to the Legislature that
hi - had surveyed four routes to avoid these
Planes and . gave estimates of the cost of the
proposed_work. For the first line
Ilis estimate was
ror the second, it was
For the•third, it was
For the fourth, it was
The cheapest route therefore would cost
more than a million and a quarter of dollars!
This is the "measure" which Mr. Bonham Mlle
the People of Cumberland county he will sus
tain if they Will be good enough to send Lim to
Harrisburg again I He Will vide to INCREASE
THE - STATE DEBT OVER ANOTHER MIL
LION MORE! Just read his speeoh—he tells
you so in plain words. To be sure Mr. Bon
ham gives certain reasons why this " improve
ment" should ise_made. And so there - were
reasons given in the days of Wolf and Porter
why million after million should be spent until
our State Debt now amounts to FORTY MIL
LIONS.
,>4.: Bonham's reasons iv° shall not
examine. He may be satisfied with them, but
the only question for this Farmers, and Tax-
Payers of Pennsylvania to determine is wheal
er'they will sanction a further,
,INCREASE OF
THE STATE DEBT eon ANYVIIRPOSE ? What
say you, Tax-Payers, do you want Mr. Bon—
ham to go back to Hari isburg with this delib
erate purpose to vote snore State Debt? Are
you in: favor of thd - Increase of the State Debt, -
or do you rejoice in its reduction by GOv. John:
ston? You can't be deceived in this matter.—

You can't be ignorant of Mr, Bonham's inten
tions. Ho tells you in plain terms that lie ioes
for BORROWING MONEY to mule a road a
avoiding the Inclined - Planes - of the Portage
Rail Road.
If therefore you are in favor of INCREAS
ED STATE DEBT vote for J. .Ellis Bonham
and John C. Dunlap. But if you nre in .favor
of REDUCING TILE STATE DEBT and DIMINISH
ING TAXES;" Vote for the Whig dandidate§

CM
MR. BONHAM'S IS.OSITION
Mr. Bo c nbam is now fully and -fairly before
the People. His position -cannot - be misunder-,
stood. No one can fail to understand what
are his_opinions anl.purposes.-1-Ilis last win
ter's speeches showed him to-be a rabid FRiE
Tit. Ann advocate. In his recent speech at Har
riskurg ho ridiculed and denounced as "con.
temptible,: , the Sinking Fund which has said
over half a million of the State Debt!
$2 611 742 78
110 voted last winter to INCREASE THE
STATE DEBT. He does not deny this but
endeavors to justify himself in his long-wiuded
speech in the last Volunteer. He deelare i p his
intention to vote again, if re-elected, for the
appropriation to avoid tho Inclined Planes of
the Portage Rail Road at an expense of over a
million and a quarter of dollars—which must
bo borrowed and ,the STATE DEBT INCREAS
ED to that amount!.
Here is Mr. Bonhanfs-position. Tax-Pay
ers'of Cumberland. county, aro yog in favor of
inorsasing the State Debt anti doing away with
the Sinking Fund . ? If so, vote for J. Ellis
Bonham. Ile will make your hard earned
money fly! Ile willgiv.o you Taxes to your
heart's content! Col. Bigler has announced
himself in favor of borrowing money to com
plete the North Branch Canal. Mr, Bonham
will of course also favor that if elected.
But if you-arc tired of 'oppressive Taxes—
if you are opposed to any further increase of
the State Debt, and in furor of its reduction,
as has been commenced by Gov. Johnston—
then vote for the 'Whig candidates for the 'Leg
islature, HENDERSON and CATHCART, who
will sustain the. Sinking Fund and -the wise
policy of Gov. Johnston, and the gloomy days
of TAXATION and DEBT will soon come to an
end!
TILE "OLD GUARD" IN ILIOTION I
We are happy to Proclaim to our political
friends throUghout the State, days theLaneas

this great "County Palatine" are a ponderous
body;'but - wherronce - placed - iw'motionT-their
impetus is irresistible. The Whig majority in
this county at the election in October nextwill

I!IIILADELPHIA, Sept. 14, 1851.
Gentlemen:—Tour letter, without date, was
this afternoon put into my bands by ope of the
servants of the Ilotel;Thuanxiety which) you
manifest to maintain the laws of the land and
the public pence, is fully appreciated, rind I
have great- pleasure in informing you that
more than twenty-four hours before the re
ceipt of your letter, the parties implicated had
been, through the vigilance and decision of
the local authorities, arrested, and are now in
prison, awaiting - an inquiry into their imputed
guilt. The District Attorney and Sheriff of
Lancaster county, acting in concert with the
Attorney.4eneral of the State, deserve espe
cial thanks for their - Prompt and energetic con
duct. This was all done early on Saturday
morning, and duly reported to me by the local
officers. ,
The testimony taken by the U. S. Commis-.
sinner, who arrived at a later period on the
ground, _a printed copk_of:which has accident
ally reached me this' afternoon; confirms Me in
the belief that the State authorities had vindi
cated the law, and to a largo extent arrested
the perpetrators of the crimes.
The cruel murder of a citizen of a neigh
boring State, accompanied by n gross outrage
on the laws of the United States, he the cools
tance of its process has been committed; and
you may be assured that. so soon .as the guilty
agents are rocertained they will , be punished
in its severest penalty by the law of Pennsyl
vania. I anf_yery proud tbat.the first steps to
detect and arrest these offenders have been
token by . Pennsylvania officers.
Permit me, gentlemen, having thus removed
all just cause of anxiety from your Minds, re
spectfully to suggest that the idea of rebel
lion, or insurrectionary movement in the county
of Lancaster, ()rimy where else in this Com
monwealth, hoe no real foundation, and is an
offensive imputation . on - a large body of out
There is no insurrectionary movement in
Lancaster county, and there would be no _ peen
sion to march a military force there,._
as you
septu.to desire, and inflame the public mind by
any 'such' strange exaggeration. T'aa not wish
our brethren of the Union' to think that in any
part of this State, resistance to the law goes
undetected or unpunished, or that there exists
such n sentiment as treason to the Union and
the Constitution. The alleged murderers of
Mr. Gorsuch, whose crime is deep enough
without exaggerating it, have been__arrested
and will be tried, and they and their abettors
be made to answer for what they have done in
contravention of the law. But-iu . the mean
time, let me invite your co-operat on, as citi
zens of Pennsylvania, not only to see that the
law is enforced, but to add to the c nfidence
which we all feel in the judicial tribunals of
the land,. by abstaining from undue violence of
language, end letting the law take its course.
Depend upon it, gentlemen, there is in Lou.
caster county a sense of duty to the laws of
the land, manifested in the easy and prompt
arrest of these offenders, which will on all oc
casions show itself'in practical obedience.
, The people of that county are men of peace
and good'order, and not easily led aside from
the path of duty which the Constitution pro
scribes. They-and - every Pennsylvanian love
the Constitution and the Union. -They will
. detect, Ete they have done in this case, and ar
rest and punish all'who violate the laws of.the
land. There is no warrant, depend on it, for
representing the anon of Lnuetfeter county as
traitors anti ptirticiPants Wen "ineurrectiona
ry, innvement." You do them, unintentionally
I have noVoubt, groat injustice.
I am • deeply indepted to yen. for affording
me this opportunity of expressing my views.
But for_your comtupicatimrl might not have
boon able - to do so. You and my fellow citi

SHOCKING OUTRAGE S
Awful Murder In an Attempt, to Cap,
titre Flagltlve Slaves I
One of the 'most dreadful occurrences we
have ever been called upon to record, took
place near Christiana, in Lancaster county, on
Thursday morning last. Mr. Edward Gorsuch,
respectable citizen of Baltimore county, Md.,
accompanied by his son, three nephews, a den--
- iny marshal and others, repaired to Penning
-tonville,- Chester county, to arrest two fugitive
slaves named Piolitiey and-Parker,-(_of which
Mr. G., t was - The own era who were living' near_
Chris:trona. Early on Thursday morning, they
proceeded to the house where the slaves resi
ded, and attempted to arrest thorn—the mar
shaVin-the presence of a white man living in
the neighborhood, having first read his author
ity to do so.
The slaves were advised- to surrender, but
refused; and, whilst the owne&-and his party
were - attempting to secure them, about one
hundred ncgroes gatheredc who at once con
rammed an attack on the, whites—incited, it is
believed,,by the white person in whoso pros
ence. the Marshal read his authority to arrest
the slaves. In the melee which ensued, Mr.
O.,_was_knocked down_with.a_cl üb,-and—whilst
in the act of falling was shot by one of the
slaves, the load entering the right lung and
proving fatal almost instantaneously. Bill dead
body was - after - Wards robbed of about $3OO in
money and a gold watch. The son, on witnes
sing the fate of his father, discharged a pistol
at one of the - party, which it is supposed
struck him in the arm or the posterior. The
negrocs afterwards attacked him, and shot him
and beat hint very badly. 'lle also Would no
doubt have been (as we •are informed
by one of the nephews,) bad not a white man

cried "for God's sake don't hurt him More, lie
.
he is dying now," and the latter got over the
body'and protected it, lie is now lying at
Christiana, very much injUred, though his
wounds will not; it is thought, prove fatal.
In the.fight, two of the nephews were also
--- injured - Tette - of -- them — having - FeeTeMiriciiTlOT
through the right arm. The Deputy Marshal
is said to have showed a want of nerve to dis- •
charge his duty.
The whole party dispersed shortly after too
occurrence, leaving the body of 31r. G. where
it fell, and where it was afterwards found.
The North American of Monday gives the
following additional particulars:
On Friday morning ; the United States
Marshal, Mr. 'Roberts, accompanied by, Mr.
Commissioner Ingraham; John W. Ashmead,
Esq., United States DiStrict Attorney, Recor
der Leo, find several other gentlemen, left the
city for the scene of -the late outrage at Chri
tiono, Lancaster county, with the view of ful
ly enforcing the law of the United States, rel
ative to the rescue of several fugitive slaves,
the murder of the elder Mr. Gorsuch ' and the
wounding of Isis son. and nephew. The officers
were accompanied by some 45 U. S. Marines,
under command of Lieuts Watson and Jones,
, with a civil posse of some fifty men, Marshal
, Roberts having mode a requisition to that,--ef
feet.
The party; upon reaching Christiana, itnme
diately proceeded to discharge their duty, by
scouring the woods and` surrounding villages

kont several guns, dirks, and huge clubs were
found. Sotuo of-the guns were heavily. char

officers.
There was tut ono disposition manifested on
the part of the authorities from tho city, who
were promptly seconded by the Prosecuting
•Attorney from Lancaster, Mr. Thompson,:and
a portion, ortjto police from that city, who
had, the they before t. made some eleven arrests,
and secured their prisoners in Lancaster jail.
Tho excitomOnt fibp
ut Christiana and. the
neighborhood was intense,and hundreds of
people were in attendance during , the exami
nation of the prisoners on Saturday afternoon
and, evening. It was after nine &clock, before
the officers of the' United States concluded
their arduous duties, tho _ heat_ being ,_ iutonse,
and almost suffocating throughout..
There is no doubt but that several promi
nent actors in this lamentable affair have been
secured, and if found guilty, they will bo so-'
verely punished.
It will .be remarked that the marshal for the
State'ef 'Maryland accompanied Mr. Gorsuch:
