widow is a
,dangeroim thing,
Milli soft, black shining curls,
And looketh more bewitching
Than, a host of romping girls.
Her laugh is so delicious,
So knowing clear beside,
You'd never deem her thinking
'Soon ta become a bride.
Her dress Omagh made of sables,
Gives ra- hitless to hoe form ;
A touch of something thoughtful)
A witching, winning, charm . ;
And when she sits down by you,
With quiet, easy grace,—
A tear may fall unbidden,
Or a smile light up her face.
Her Toles is soft, melodious,'
And lute-like in its tone ;
She sometimes sighs, "'tie dreadful
To pass - through life alone !"-
And then she'll tell you, you remind he
Of the loved one dead and gone;
Your steps, your form, your features—
Thus the widow will run on.
Oh ! listen, yet be careful,
For well bhe.plays her part;
her lips distil the nectar
That cloth enslave the heart;
Be guarded, or She'll win.y6u,
With sighs, and smiles, and tears;
I' faith she'll wear the breeches, 'too,
And - box your silly cars.

LETTER Fitp.M
ATTORNEY GENERAL, OV:PENNI.
.ON THE SUBJECT pE,Tl.l.wcousvpii ,
We ask the attention of the public to the
subjoined_ letter from . Thomas „Franklin, of
Lancaster, Attorney General of the. Common
wealth, on thomubjeot of the'riet and murder
in Lancaster county, and the letters of the
Clergyman Gorsuch. No one Who reads the
dommunicatiou, will hesitate to* any that Mr.
Gorsuch hap acted in the most unchristian end
uncharitable manner, and that Go Johnston
did hia'full duty - in the 064,. Joinlston
did not immediately offer a reward — ZNhe ap
prehension of the Murderers, because reward
are never offered until the ordinary means of
slaking arrests are exhausted: - The money of
the people is not to be uselessly thrown away
by the Executive. It is to be judiciously used,
and not lavished upon officers,
.whose duty re
,quiies- them - to na-WitliouFtffe - :incentive of a
reward. On thu2d, of June,1.847, a similar
I slave riot occurred in Carlisle, wherein James
Kennedy,, Of Ifagerstowii, Maryland, was kill
el. Gov. Shunk was then in office. He issued'
ao proclomation—oPrednd reward for *appre
hension of Me murderers. For acting in this
manner Gov. Shunk was not denounced by ir
single newspaper in the State. For offering a
reward when the proper time Gover
neiJohnsfon is Mow - denotinced . by this 'entire
Looofeco party of the
Mr. Gorsuch complained in this letter,Ahat
Gov. Johnston did not leave this cars to look on
the dead body of his father. Gov: Johnston'
could render no assisfancato the dead,___Many
parsons dislike to look at dead bodies, or to
witnegac.ecutions, becanio these thing's leave
a paiptlibmpression upon them. No mad ir>s
ever-yet-charged-with-wait-of--feeling -for-not
hispeoting a mangled corpse, or going to soda
criminal hanged:
Our opinion remains unchanged, that Mr.
Gorsuch is either a bad man himself, or 'that
he has been used by vinprincipfccl and heart
less politicians. The language of his second
letter is the language of- a notorious : Lecofoco
paper in Pennsylvania, and there is the strong
est circumstantial evidence that it yits concoct
edby a portion of the Locofuce Party for po
litical purposes.
S. Gorsuch, in his bk . -latter, dated
Columbia, September 25, 1851, says:
I conceive it to-ho nu act of justice to call
attention to the remark 1 made in my letter to
Gov. Johnston, in regard to the Attorney Gen
eral of Pennsylvania, lion. Thomas E. Frank
lin. Contrary to the practice in Maryland, ,I
have learned that the Attorney General of
of Pennsylvania has no jurisdiction in triminal
oases, and therefore the infia.ivity, of Mr. V.,
in the - premises, was not"rcioneu'rahlo. ' I Sm

proved his loyalty to the Constitution and days,
and zeal for the vindication of public imitire•
"In regard to no other pari, of that ktter

Mr. Gorsuch Lao retracts what - he suid a
gainst. Thomas E. Franklin. Ho should have
gone further, and retracted what he said a
gainst Gov. Johnston, for the Attorney Gene
ral of the Commonwealth distinctly and strong
ly declares, in the subjoined letter, that he
acted by the advice. of the Governor. He

' ,The llon. John:Strohm, the Whig candidate

lation to the unserupnlone , manner in which
some of the opposition press MiSect, and , ro
aisort that ho, a member. of t ,Congress,
-Voted against the granting of supplies to 'Sus
lain our army in Mexico. Mr. Strohm re
capitulates the whole- facts of the case, and
says that While ho was prepared to vote for the
original billr-the main features of which were
td authorize the President, if he deemed it ex- .
Pedient,-to call for and acoopt the services of.
any number of Volunteers, not exceeding 30,-
000, and appropriating $10,000,000 for ; the
purpose of carrying the provisions of that sot,

lOtter With this language :
;';;,;" After the passage of that bill, in which
lho - war with Mexico was reeognized and sanc
tioned by the regular and properly constituted
irariluakingipower of the government, I made
no further resistance;O the'war, but voted for

defy any of the denmeratio ;Scoters or editors
to point out n single instance in which I did

accused of giving *vote to withhold
supplieO, and starve the volunteers in Mexico*.
The,only. vote of 'mine that can be tortured
into anything like a withholding of supplies,
was the vote on the bill above alluded to, and
that - was - before - any' volunte - er.l - ivere 'ordered
out. That bill, as already stated, was to au
thorize the Pfesident to accept the services of
voluciteers, and making provisions for theirpay
and sustenance. 'Both propositions 'went to
gether, and hail my vote been decisive of the
fate of the bill, the volunteers could not have.
been, accepted, would not have 'been called up t.
on, and consequently would not have been
`Starved in Mesiee, even vithouf an appropria
tion.
'I might say much moro upon this subject,
but I fear I havo trespassed too much on your
space - already. ;What has, been said, will, I
trust, be sufficient for all candid and impartial
mob ; arid with those who-are determined not
to be convinced, it is useless to multiply words,
or accumulate arguments. Yours, --

Such results do not often occur,:and we blink,

this is by no means oertain, and the best way
to ensure success is fur every one to consider
the importance of every single vote.
One vote eleoted Marcus Morton Governor
