More Womble bathe Wigwam, It seems that our old Democratic friend Price, is not the only poor fellow who is in trouble about his appointments. Mr. Joseph Riter has been in a most terrible quandary for some time, and the trouble , seems to thicken upon him. But let us tell the story in proper or der. Riter found, that to fill the dignified station of mud boss, he had a large sup. ply of hungry patriots, who desired a share of the laves and fishes. Being a stranger he wisely concluded, that he would wait and examine their various petitions. sie did so; atal lo! each one arrayed nearly the same names. The "tell chickens" having signed all the petitions, so as to snake them think, that they were the friends of all. Taking it for granted, that, a private word in the corner, would at once secure their favorite, of which the others would be none the wiser. Riter being a Jackson man, an!" being anxious to be in keeping with the powers them selves, he concluded, that to lessen the difficalty, he would take the responsibili-' ty, and import one. To do tnis, he took a Mr. Martin from Alexandria —whose vines do not lean to virtue's side. This only increased the difficulty, for he had the same number to satisfy, and one third less to do it with. A happy thought then came over him. It was thi s —to gist the applicants all together, make them agree, that as they were patriots, they should be satisfied; and an election should be held by the people; and the man of their choice, was to be confirmed by the supervisor. This brilliant idea struck him as exactly the thiere. Because he could let his friends arrange their mat ters, to elect the very men they wanted. Bat as fate, or bad luck would have it, a soverzign %%Ito had not the fear of the leaders before les eyes, concluded,he could brieg friends enough, to elect him self. So on Thursday last, the day of the election, he ceine, and less forces sent dis may into the ranks of the great 'sachems' of tl►e party. Soinethiug, must be done-- From some cause (to us unknown) disli • kin; any thing that should awake any retriiniscen:4 of ansulgansuaon. An order WV issued, that no Rimer man should be allowed to vote. This did no good— Still the Clover creek champion stood the sure chance of success. There was no ether ;remedy. The election must nut be held; and an offer was made, that some liver be forth coming, mid that we COI,' stun the "de prat prek:." Clover creek • said no! he would pay for the liquor, if they would let the ball proceed. The time wee spent in quailing and wrangling, mid finally they all went home, satisfied, that there were ►sdians about; and that the boys who went near the throne, would have there man, no matter what was the desire of the people. This fellow citizens, are some of the fantastic tricks of ilia new refocus party. "Stir up the .Inintals." Our readers undoubtedly recollect something about the charges made against oar canal officers for proscription. In or der that our readers may see, with what religious horor, they view that course now, we will relate a single expression made by that travelling patriot; Job Nlcr r!s, principal mud boss, and General kee. per of the animals, on the division above! town. Eut first, not to got before our sto ry, for we hear some of our readers say. who is Jobs Job is a patriot! a real jewel of a patriot: a brdliant of the first water. Wkether he be a lineal deeendant of the man of Uz, we cannot say, but .certain it is; if not as patient as Job, he is as patient as an ass. But as we said before, Job is a ps.triot, 'and shall we show you why.— When the stories of Fate, and Anti-MaH sonry overwhelm:lid the long estabclished dynasty of Geo. Wolf, and his prede.:es stirs. Job held the humble, yet responsi ble situation of mud boss. When he saw that the sun of his hopes had set, unwil ling to remain a witness of his country's degredation, without being allowed to help her out of the mire, lie pulled up stakes, exclaiming like the wanderer, "I am bound for the west." Job, from afar, watched for nearly three years, the opper, ations around his old home, he would have sighed, but as his name denotes, he bore it patiently. Job left his country, rather than to see the Goth and Vandals of Anti- Masonry, riot among the spoils—was he not a patriot? The storms of Rate and 1.-co Focoism, overthrew, Ritner's reign: shouting with all imaginable joy, Job returned to see the power in the hands of his oid !riends. Again he "wanted to help to take care of his country, and he wanted Ids country to take care of :din." Is he not a patriotP Some envious persons have said, his patriotism would have been better shown, had he stayed at home, and helped to guard his country. But we opine not. It would have looked as if he was only fighting for office. New he has the proud oatisfaction or knowing. that it la Ilia sterling worth, that ensures him a place ,igitally pre-eminent with the former. True Job has a trade, "but whata a trade when a man's got a soul:" As we said before. Job come back, 4,• asked to be again made :owl boss, declaring if he was not ap -• pointed, he would again take up his abode in the west,-and let them assume the dread responsibility of sending such a pil lar of the republic as him, out of the reach at ,offering succor. The proposition was acceeded to, and Job 'Morris of Ohio is' mud boss on the Pennsylvania canal. But to 'go back again to our story—last, week, numbers of hands were needed tip at the dam, and among them, were some who did not exactly like Job's tone, who related it to us. Job in conversation with some of the faithful, says, "tell the D--•D Anli-masons not to come up here, for they unll get no work,', Duca nut this con , duct accord admirably with their howls last fall; and this same Job is not a citizen (of Pennsylvania.

The resolution to abandon the Gettysburg Rail Road was taken up. No little debate arose on the subject. Mr. Strohm advocated it with renewed zeal, and attempted to prove the road ought to tie abandoned because Gov. Porter said so in his message. But Mr. Ewing pointed to Mr. Porter's votes as a Senator, and desired Mr. Strohm to prove something tier both sides from Ids conduct. The bill finally passed to abandon the GettysH burg road on the lot of March. eISO, 000 were appropriated to pay the debts, and then the resolution was agreed to. In the House, the Wyoming Coal Bill was again reconsidered. end after some amendments was agreed to.

The remainder of the session was consumed in discussing matters which received no final action.
