VILLAINY —The 13,..ff410 Derweacy of the

The particulars of I very melancholy case, in
volving the most diabolical sconndraliem, have
been deuuled to us, us recently taking place in
this city. A young man, doing a thriving busi
u. as, .‘aa lately married to the daughter of a re
spectable family living a few miles from town.
A day ur two lola' the marriage, he returned to
bi busira,:ss in the ity, leaving his wife at the
residi.nce of her p:arnts Here, some young
men, assovates and friends of his, in order to
celebrate his marriage, engaged him in a spree;

going, and so worked upon her fears that she
was, as he asserted married to him, though. it is
hoped the villain was guilty of a falsehood in his
avtement to that (fleet The wretched woman
is still deranged, and the officers are on the track

Bigler's Ite-eleetioa.
The Clearfield Republican closes an able arti
cle, giving the ressins why Bigler should be re
elected, with the foll“wing:
He will be triumphantly elected ; because he
has been weighed in the scales and not found
wanting. Because throe years of his adminis
tration has fully satisfied the people of his "abil
ity to disc Large the duties of the office," and be
cause n "genewal feeling of satisfaction" with his
Smuces of character and determined purpose to
do what is right, "pr rails all over the State,"
and in every ease of community. If ever we
have Lads purely Dt mocratic rule without osten
tation or displsy of any kind, it has been under
Gor Bigler. If ever three years have elapsed,
during which t'clizatered monopolies," "specula
tore," and "State robbers." have been held in
proper check, it has been ander Governor Big
ler. He stopped "log-rolling legislation;" he
has arrested the increase of banking capital by
his manly vetos—he has held to strict seeount
ability the agents of the State—kept up her
credit, and can justly bout of her condition and
the unmistakeable evidence of her prospe.ity.—
But it is the "overthrow of the Detuociratie party"
our whig friends seek, and they care not by what
means they affect it. or how faithful a public ser
vant is stricken down The "cloven-foot cannot
be concealed. Democrats, will you allow the
Whig party by such means to triumph? It is
for yon to say. If they do, they will laugh at
your folly, while they are rejoicing over their
victory. While they "love the treason they will
despise the traitor."
no.. Commodore Perry did not go to Jeddo,
as he intended. The Commissioners would not
agree to it. When the commodore determined,
in spite of their remonstrances, to run up, the
intepreters, who were on board the commodore's
ship, told him that just so sure as he came in
sight of Jeddo, they would perform the "Hari
Bari" on themselves, that is to rip themselves
open, (an action they think highly commendable)
and the commissioners would do the same also.
He endeavored to reason with them on the folly
of such an intention, but they cooly replied that
they were not there to 'disouss the propriety of
their customs, but to conform to and execute
them. They had already stripped themselves to
their under garments, when the commodore seeing
their resolution inflexible, turned his ships about
and anchored a considerable distant,* down the
bay.

to-day, informing me that it was currently re

that I an not a member of any "lEsow Nothing"

or OW friend, D. M'Allaatiu, the Whig
esadidate for Regibtor and Recorder, chicks we

who do boeinees with the Ake. if we did Mr.

The refusal of Judge Thompson Ned Mr. Ref- '
ley to allow their names to be used, m candidataa
for al. , Legislature, has set those who do not like
the other candidatesin the field, al sett owe some.
Like Daniel Webster, they impatiently ask, where
shall we go? We confess thaquery in a hard one
to answer. The regular whig candidatas are not
to be -thought of, after what has peered. Mr.

the Court will not sanction that plan; hence it
is evident it was only submitted as a foil, to coy
er their cherished design of appealing to the Le
gislature for help. This being the fact, it is
doubly important that we should have a strong, ,
reliable and laborious delegation in at Harrisburg
this winter! None of them qualifications are
possessed in a remote degree by Mr. Warner.—
Even this, his own neighbors and friends admit;
claiming his election simply because he is a whig,

vention. It remains to be seen in the present !
aspect of affairs whether dial qualification, and
that alone, will enable Erie county to meet and I
vanquish her enemies at Harrisburg this winter. !
If the people of Erie county think it will, and
agree with Mr. Ball, that our local questions
will require "nu Democratic help from Erie coon
ty" to pilot theta safe through the Halls of Le
gislation, why all they have to do is go it blind,
and vote for Wszttrki- For one, we beg leave
to say, that we shall not train in that company.
Where then shall we go? To JOHN B. Psoi?
Not while his name is John B. Page! True, he ,
claims, in his letter, published by request hut
week, that he entertains correct views in regard
to our railroad questions. With all due defer
ence to the prefix of "Rev." to his name, we beg

Not that we think a Clergyman would tell an
untruth, or seek to deceive his "flock " By no ' I
means" But we all know that men sometimes
become so anxious to attain a fancied good,. that
their views of right and wrong become warped,
and they are ready to pledge themselves to any
line of policy if they think it will help them:—
Now, Mr P —we beg his pardon, Rev Mr P.

lieve it is not disputed that this Reverend gen
, tleman took part, and a pi., nument one, too, in one
or more of the meetings held at his plaoe last
winter—Lockport--to denounce Erie, and her
"mob citizens " If he did, how can we recon
cile that course, when he was not a candidate,
with his present letter, when he is a candidate:
Further than that, the only personal controversy
we had last winter in regard to our railroad mat
, ters, was with Rev. John B. Page; and we know
he did not then express the sentiments of his let
ter of last week. Therefore we say we believe
John B Page when not a candidate, but we do not
believe John B Page when he is a candidate
Hence we cannot recommend our readers to vote
fur him. That is one reason; but it is not the

the last twenty-five years, have pursued such a
course that it has left democrats, with a proper sense
of self-respect, no alternative bet to adhere to their
candidates, or those known to favor their views
in politics. Believing this, we cannot consis
tently vote for the Free Sri! candidates for the
Legislature, and hence cannot urge others to do
se! For whom then shall Democrats vote? We
answer Jamas TROXPSON` He is just the man
we want in the Legislature this winter! In in
tellectual ability, in knowledge of Legislation—
in political and personal influence—be towers a
bead and shoulders above every other man nam
ed for that Ace. To Democrats! to Whigs! to
Free Sellers! to the People! we say if you want
the local questions of oar county decided PR thi
faetorily, vote for him! True, he has declined;—
but be has declined because be would not, oven
in appearance, place himself in the position of a
person seeking dice. But if the people will
call him—if his neighbors and friends insist up
on it, and make it known through the ballot• boz,
HE WILL SERVE. Vote then we repeat for
a AMES THOMPSON!
ifir When a man seta out to do a mean thing,
he generally can find a mean excuse for it—in
other words, "he nut% find any thing else." This
is about the predicament the Chronicle is in rela
tive to Gov . Bratsk. That the C9uneeicle should
oppose a Democratic candidate for Governor,
would not be strange, and =would elicit no
remark But that the should kick its
whigery out of doers to all appearance, and then
tell the world that, "for Gov. Bigler, as a friend
of our local interests, it entertains unfeigned res
pect" and "gratitude;" still, because a bill was
par. d by Congress giving the people of Kansas
and Nebraska the right to choose their own loos!
Instituuons, it, the astute Chronicle, can't go for
him, sounds very much to us like a case of false
pressed The truth is, the Chronicle is Whir,
Bigler is a Demeerst--he has stood by us ss no
other man would have done, under the cinema
swoon—still the Chronick >s too much whig to
support We own local interests, if in doing so it
supports a , -Democrat--hence it goes on • situsims

sod finds it in an set of Congress—an act in it-
Olaf right, but with which Bigler bad no more to
do than the Editor el the Uhronick. In this
course oar ootemperary is but following the in
milieu of its brew political &Saida with the
'big party. Still, whin nut winter it becomes
apparent that a Writ "Democratic help from

A few Last Words I I
Before our paper shall be lamed ace lecOlEt
the election will have been held, and the malt
at the canvass determined: We therefore take
the present as the only opportunity that will of
thr to call upon the Democrats of Erie county to
rally the entire strength of the party on BroLan,
Bt..ecit and Morr. They are men who are emi
nently fitted far the different Aces to which
they have been nominated, and no true member
of the party \ should vote against a single individ
nal presented fur his support. Bring every man
to the polls. Canvass every district thoroughly.
Bee that those who are distant from the place of
voting have modes of oeuvertnee to enable them
to be present and deposit their ballots. We have
c h eer i u m news from the-balance of the State.—
Th e D elmont' 'fa Widestrake, sod they promise
us increased majorities ill the Democratic
counties. Whigs who have never voted cri:: tick
et before will do so this year Every man who
leaves the Bigler line to vote for Polloek, strikes
a blow against a party that has made the country
great and prosperous. He strikes a blow at the
party arganised by Jefferson, and perpetuated by
Madison, Jackson, Wright and Polk. Believe
not the slanders of treacherous friends, or open
enemies. Jill manner of reports will be circula
ted to lead the people astray. This is the death
struggle of the whig party. It has licked its for
, tunes with the Know Nothings, or the party that
strives to cut up by the roots the most sacred
guarantees of the oouatitutioo. We call upon
Democrats who have been led thoughtlessly into
this new organiution to leave i•, and deposit
their votes for the men of their choice, without
restraint, coercion, or comp& siou. Bad promis-
' es are better broken tlisti kept, and it is far more
honorable to come out openly and acknowledge
' the error, and set right, than to continue in the
wrong. Certain religions fanatics once banded
together with an oath to slay the great apostle of
the Gentiles That oath was better broken than
kept So it is with those of either party who
have unwittingly been drawn into the order of
Know Nothings Leave them and deposit your
votes for those who are faithful to the pledges of
the Censtitation Democrats of Erie county per
form your duty Par over the pine clad bills of
Pennsylvania the ebeeriog intelligence a borne
that the great old party of the people is again to
triumph. From eve y portion of the State, good
news comes rolling m upon us, and we enter the
contest with assurance , ' that nothing is wanting
but energy and activity, to make the present as
decided a victory as ever was gained by the in
vincible Democracy of the old Key Stone. We
' call upon the Democrats of this county to perform
a full share in the struggle. Let every township
poll its entire vote. Leave no man at home.—
Vote the whole ticket. Go early to the polls,
and you will then have no, regrets, but your duty
will have been fully perfirined.
Governor Bigler
"I oonsider Go? Bigler one of the purest and
safest men that ele , filled the gubernatorial
chair of Pennsylvania.' G. .1 Ball
Insomuch se there are probably a number of
whigs yet in Erie county, whose party attach-
ments bind them indissolubly to whig organiza
tions and whig can ii fates, notwithstanding the
corruption or illiberality of either, we have
thought advisable to call their eapeeial attention
to the above quotation. The language was used
in Harrisburg, sometime daring last winter.—
The speaker, G. J. Ball, is the prominent candi
date of his party fur the coining Legislature, and
will of course be recognised at once as little less
than infallible by all the inveterate of his stripe.
Addressing ourself then to such men in their ad
ditional character as citizens of Erie county, we
would ask what sort of a response does the sen
timent require from you' Each individual of
you know that experience, in the philosophy of
life, is at the very foundation of wisdom and pru
dence Not one of you had reached the age of
maturity before you were convinced by the im
mortal Henry, that the only true way to judge
of the future, was by the past. That wise men
do not desert either tried principles or men, for
others untried, and consequently uncertain. If
in tbo affairs of adult life, the stakes at issue
were as immaterial as is the sports of boyhood,
mew might without hazard adopt novelties with
impunity But when the important interests of
States,Communities and Households, are involv
ed, that man who follows inconsiderately the
freaks of fancy or the invitations of the de.
signing, is a traitor to all that is valuable in so-
Ciety. The application of these remarks to the
subject of Mr. Ball's expression, instantly invests
it with great importance. If an officer of govern
ment has so discharged his duties, so as to merit
and Induce the tribute that he has proved him
self "one of the safest and purest" that ever fill
ed his station, to rob the government of the em
inent services of such an agent, is to strike a dan
gerous blow at the highest interests of associat
ed or individual man. The citizens of Erie coun
ty must certainly see and feel the force of these
truths. Suppose that some other than a "safe
and pure" man had filled the gubernatorial chair
of the State during our troubles of last winter.
Where would his sympathies—powerful from
his position—most probably have b . :en? On that
side where the "safe and pure" prineiples of
eternal justice were arrayed? or would they not
rather have been found where the foul end dan
gerous principles of treason and tyranny were co
operating, united for the moment by the libelous
efforts of a venal press Without the efficient
and generous assistance of William Bigler, we
confidently believe that the citizens of Erie and
the county would have been involved with the
power of the General Government in a contest
that would inevitably have brought ruinous pe
enniary consequences if not actual loss of life.—
Having never suffered, we are apt not to appre
ciate the joy of a relief from pain. Had we felt,
in our property or in our persons, the weight of
successful opposition at that time, long before
this we would have felt by contrast the value of
a preventive power. If then, a man who has
been so "pare and safe" in the general adminis
tration of the State government, has alio been so
efficient in the happy management of a difficult
local question; surely the people of that local vi
oinity will be ungratefol and unwise, indeed, if
they shall make the effort to remove him from his
offme. If William Bigler is defeated, sad Brie
county twists, and a day of .retributioa comes,
we want it remembered, that our last word was
one of warning.

The North Fief i Erie Oomputy, by their Al. I
tansies, John E. Walkersnd Nay R. Cutler,
presented their pleas for the sheratiou of the
railroad in Harbornreek sad at Eris, on nook/ I
morning last. Oe Thursday monde' following,
Judge Thompson, on the part of the City sad
Harborereek, presented other plans of the same
purpose. Acoompanying the plans for the City
were resolutions by the City Cousells, and an
address and protest to the Court, against a eon
fhetstios of the plane submitted by the Compa
ny. The Company propose to obey the decree
of the Court by meeting the old borough east
line et Twelfth street, which we believe is oa
the east beak of llillereek; bringing the Depot
upon a fifteen-acre lot of John A. Tracy's, Pres
ident of the Company. If the private specula
tion constituted the only interest involved, we,
of course, could have no porno' list objection to
the proposed bowies. But Twelfth street is
only a few rode sorth of the prang Hue of road,
and so far se the •00011111todatiou of lake nom-
mem is concerned, or the Attraction anneals
wily of the City, is liable to all the objections
that were urged against the fret location, except I
technical observes.e of their charter require-
meats. If their present location at Twelfth st.
is an honest one, (which we beg leave to doubt,)
then the nuisance is only brought so much closer
to the heart of the City. That erosion of the City
is fast improving with dwelling houses, and, if
possible, should be relieved of the presence of an
inhabitant so dangerous to life and property.—
The recklessness and malice of the plan are trans- '
parent. It never could have been suggested, it
never was suggested, except bj , the diabolical do
sign of insulting this community, sad detailing
all enterprises for the increase of the commerce
of the harbor and the growth and prosperity of
the City generally. If the directors of that road
were honest a year ago, when they declared that
their contracts trod understanding with railroad
interest east and west, was all that compelled.
them to seek a commotion with other roads at
their old location, au; moment that the Supreme
Court relieved them of that responsibility, their
"lois" for the city of "their residence" would
have impelled them at ones, and with joyful
alacrity, to seek the harbor, and indnee all the
consequent prosperity. But instead of a course
to be eapeeted from honorable men, what have
we' An attempt, upon its very front, bearing
the indubitable marks of a malicious determina
tion to thwart, by every means possible, the wish
es and interests of otir community, and by
the same disreputable perseverance subserve the
adverse interests of harbors and cities east and
west of us. Such are some of the List acts of
those amiable men, for whom Mr Ball and the
Erie Liasette so much respect, that they cannot
believe it possible, that they (the railroad men)
would ever think of invoking legislation to accom
plish their nefarious scheme'. Credulity 'may
for the time be a comfortable condition; but when
time and events shall have stripped it of its com
placency, and exposed its culpable Terdency, that
condition, we imagine will be sadly altered
Thefew last remarks may seem perchance to
some, as not nooessarily incident to the matter
first notieed.
Wo hope that the future will prove as widely
wront, but we cannot, from the course of things
for the last week or two in political .holes, di.
vest ourselves of the fear, that if our represents.
fives will join themselves to forbidden idols, like
Ephraim, we will be "left alone" for destruction!
Inns* of Tricks.
Let our readers beware of vain reports—no
matter from whom they emus! We make this
caution, because we understand that an ailidavit
is in circulation, purporting to have been made
by I. W. Hart, stating that he had paid into the
Order of Know Nothings $lOO for the purpose
of defeating certain of the wig& candidates. Mr.
Hart is a whig, a Know Nothing, and a Shanghai;
now is any man green enough to believe that if
Mr. Hart had dons as it is 'Hedged, that he
would now come out Lad expose the fact,. Cer
tainly not; besides we have it from another
Know Nothing that this money was raised by
Mr. Hart, and paid over for the purpose of send
ing oat two missionaries—a pair of young whip
—to establish lodge. in other counties for the
purpose of defeating BISUZ! This version is
corroborated by the testimony of a gentleman
who sasares us tbat be has seen the two whip
we refer to in Warren county, engaged in that
enterprise! Nevertheless, one or two of the reg
ulu whig cannidates, becoming alarmed, amide
siring a "little Democratic help" to elect them,
have seised upon this scheme of their own party
to injure Bigler, to rake a Aim darns against
the Shanghais to save themselves! We say,
therefore, to the people—don't believe in affida
vits made on the eve of election—they are gen•
erally lies!
wir The London Times, probably the ablest
paper in Europe, takes a correct view of the ef•
feat Know Nothingism would have upon emigra
tion, provided it should be successful in its
schemes---an event, under our oonatitution, not
at all probable we know. Bays the Tissa:
"The Know Nothings--we will not dispute with
them about the title they have seen fit to assume
—if they succeed, will simply succeed in driving
the capital, the intelligence, the respectability of
Europe from their shores; but of European rae
caldom their crop will be as bounteous as ever.
We pray them to consult the experience of all
Eiutpea,4l Liations which, in historical times, have
been so foolish as to tell into similar errors of pol
icy."
This is a truth the most bigoted Know Nothing
cannot dispute. Instead of preventing the emi
gration of the least desirable class of emigrants,
Know Nothingian is (*Misted to prevent rho in
telligent and the respectable, the "bone end the
sinew" of European countries, from seeking our
shores. And why? &cause that class seek a
home here helium@ they admire our institutions
and the liberties dig roaahasie. The boon of
citizenship is one they are willing to forsake fam
ily and friends, and the dear associations of "fa
ther land" to obtain! Remove that boon—that
inducement—and they remain where they are!
But there is a class that care nothing for this,
and citizen or no citizen they seek shelter here.
