some weeping with passionate exclaims- I
thins, some swearing as if hell had broke
loose; some laughing while they cracked
blackguard jokes on you and me, the par
son and the dangling corpse. They had
come for the sight; they would have come
to see an angel murdered, They had
to get drunk with strong excitement, they
went back reeling and filthy with the hot
debauch. They had conic to riot in the
passions of fear and pity; they went back
some in a rage, some burning with hate,
some hardened in heart like me, or you ;
all sunk down ;n their own respect, ready
to make light of pain and blood, corrupted
by the indecent show, and more fit than
ever to make work for us, the judge and
the hangman.
0, wise law-makers I who think to sof-
ten the hearts of the people, to make them
gentle and good, to give them a feeling of
respect for themselves and others, bow

Coughs Coughs.
11R. Swayne's Compound Syrup of pru
nus of Virginiana or weld Cherry.
This syrup is highly . beneficial in all pecto
ral affections; also, in diseases of the chest
in which the lungs do not perform their
proper office from want of due nervous
energy: such as asthmas, pulmonary con
sumption, recent or chronic coughs, hoarse
ness, whooping cough, wheezing and dif
ficulty of breathing, croup and spitting of
'blood, 4c. Ilow many tsufferers do we
daily behold approaching to an untimely
grave, wrested in the bloom of youth from
their dear relatives and friends, afflicted
with that common and destructive rava
ger, called consumption, which soon wasts
the miserable sufferer until they become
beyond
. the power of human skill; it such
sufferers would cnly make a trial of Dr.
Swayne's invaluable medicine, they would
soon find themselves benefited; than by
gulphing the various ineffective certain
remedies of which our newspapers daily
abound. This syrup immediately begins
t o heal the ulcerated lungs, stopping pro
fuse night sweats, mititigating the distres
sing cough at the same time inducing a
healthy and natural expectoration, also re
lieving the shortness of breath and pain
in the chest, which harrass the sufferer on
the slightest exercise, and finally the lice
tic flash in the pallid and emaciated cheek
will soon begin to vanish, and the sufferer
will here peeeive himself snatched from a
premature grave, into the enjoyment again
or comforta ble health.

Coughs and Colds.
How many sufferers do we daily behold
afflicted with that common and distressing
disease! Do we not find that almost every
person or friend we meet with complains of 1
a bad COLD or a distressing COUGH? We
also find in assemblies of all kinds that there
is a continual coughing, by which welperceive
that there is one halt of the human family
afflicted with that troublesome disease. It
those sufferers would only make a trial of
Dr Swayne's Syrup or wild cherry
they would soon find themselves relieved,
and by continuing the use of the same for la
few days, it will effect a 'permanent core.
Hundreds can testify to this fact, as in the
short space of two months, Mpwards of five
hundred bottles have been sold.

of the extraordinary success of
Dr. Wm. Evans' practice.
Mr Munson, at Mrs. Lewis', 21 Bowery,
N. V. was laboring under a vi dent inflam
matory Rheumatism, being completely una
ble to move i n his bed without assistance,
with extreme pain in his legs and arms,which
were swollen to an enormous size, with great
heat, t•xcessive thirst, dryness of skin, and
violent pain in the head, &c., all of which
was within forty-eight hours greatly by Dr.
EVANS' CAMOMILE PILLS, and in a
few days restoi ed to perfect health.

A Case of Tic Doloreux,
Mrs. J. E. Johnson, wife of Capt. Joseph
Johnson, of Lynn, Mass., was severely af

lent pain in the head, and vomiting, with,
burning heat in the stomach, and unable to
leave her room. She could find no relief
from the advice of several physicians, nor
from medicines of any kind, until after she
had commenced using Dr. Evans' medicine,
and from that time she began to amend, and
feels satisfied if she continues the medicine
a few days longer, will be perfectly cured.

above, by calling at Mrs. Johnson's daught

The Mammoth
Perhaps most of our readers have read
and account of the bones of a Mastedo
having been found in Craword county, 0,
some time during last summer.
We have been requested to state to the
citizens of this county, that these mon
strous bones will be in our town for ex
hibition, on Friday and Saturday next.
The skeleton, we learn, is much more per
fect than that exhibited at the Philadel
phia Museum.
The citizens then of our town and
' county, who wish to look at them ,
can have an opportunity. When, where,
and how, this immense structure of animal
life existed, it has proven beyond the
power of history or tradition to tell. Its
bones, to which the bones of the ele
phant are like the bones of pigmies,
prove clearly that it did once move amid
the forests of this hemisphere. It is be
lieved that race has long since become ex •
tine t. Its bones alane have defied decay,'
as it were to tell of the mighty things of
ancient days. The head is entirely per.
feet, weighs 237 pounds.
Accompanying them is the celebrated
Irish giant, whose height is 7 feet 4 inch.
e should imniagine lie was a lineal de
sendant of Brian the brave.
TIIICVeto
Gov. Porter,;;iClnitious to emulate
the example of Ritner, has vetoed a little
omnibus of local appropriations. Ritner
was a very bad man, so said Porter and
his vassals, because he dared to set up
his judgment against the legislative wis
dom. Yet Mr Porter has done the same
twice in about four moths. Why do not
soine of Porters old dupes complain now,
They were wont to scold wonderfully at,
such things a year ago. 'the veto shall'
a ppear next week.i.
The "Advocate" thinks it has got flea
its ear. We haves never commenced an
attack upon any of the numerous writers
for that print; but when forced into the
arena, we like to lay about us right lustily
--and they generally quit us satisfied that
there are blows to take as well as give.
It wishes to see our history. A reference
to our columns, on a former occasion, will
show him the story of 'our short, but not
uneventful life,' c'en from our boyish
days, up to the very moment that lie bade
me tell it.'
That paper signifies that Mr. Porter is
unwilling to prosecute us, because he
could get nothing. Well now, that tells
a tale of the 'magnanimity' of his great
soul. The trying to patch up the rents
in a wrecked 4. blighted reputatation, has
no charms to him. A character blacken.
ed and blasted by the festering cankers of
guilt and crime, can find no water to wash
off the pollution, unless there is a chance
to wring money out of some one who had
boldness enough to point the finger of,
scorn at the crime and the criminal ; pro
uided that suborned witneses and bribed
jurors could convict. What a dignified!
yet what a true picture of the man. Mo
ney is all he seeks. 'Twas the love of it,
which traced the first slain upon his hand.
lie can make nothing out of us, and well
he knows it. Yes, he may make some
thing 1 A character which will fo!low him
to his grave.
It also says that puppieslare always try
ing to swell into importance. No one that
knows the editors of that print will de,
ny ; they have been swelling let some
time, and soon they can claim the honor
able title of "swelled kends."
" Your poor hand to help a lame dog,'
and Porter said when he read the ' Ad
vocate."
" Drunkness is a pair of spectacles to
see the devil with," as the ghost said,
when he frigtened the printer out of his
office.
"That coat fits, of course I wear it,"
as the chap said who wore one out that
did not belong to him.
"I can lick any woman of my size," as
the same fellow said, when he theatened i
to kick a woman out of his house.
" Kick a puppy and he'll stick the clo
ser," as Porter told his, when he started
him from Harrisburg.
"Collect your wits, for they are wool
gathering," as he told the printer who
wanted to be appointed collector.
" Follow me," as Porter told his wit•
nesses, at Lehigh.
"Dyott your a half hand," as Davy R.
said of the Dr. when he heard he was in
limbo for cheating his creditors.
"The tavelled path is safest," as he
said when he swore, that he did not hide
his property.
"Now I have him," as Porter's man
Friday said when lie saw the man with
the poker, trying to catch flies with his hat.
"flint I near the throne," as the office
hunter said when he crept to the feet of
his master.
"He is known by his company," as our
devil said, when he read an acknowledge
ment in the last Advocate, that its editors
laid down with dogs.
"You have a very taking way with
you," as the live dollar note said, when
the justice cribbed it from the counter.
"Your tongue will cut my throat," as l
Poi ter said when he read the last %Advo
cate.'
The Democracy.
By a reference to the Legislature news,
our readers will see that the present Loco
Foco Administration are determined not
to allow the people to elect their own of
ficers.
The new Constitution was adopted
simply because it took from the Executive
his patronage, and gave back into the,
hands of the people, that of which they
had been despoiled. In disrobing him of
his patronage, it destroyed the opportuni
ty of a dishonest Govenor, for appointing
dishonest underlings, and keeping them
in, disptte of the wishes of the people,—
and a petty tyrant like Jemmy Clarke can
be dismissed if the people have the power
in their hands. The new Constitution
made provision that the people could so
take the matter into their hands.
We advocated and voted for the amend
ments because, it placed in the hands of
the people, what of right belonged there;
and that we call democracy. But what
do the people see now from that party
claiming to be democratic—exclusively
democratic!—they oppose the right of the
people to elect—they are unwilling to
trust the people—they want the power to
remain in the hands of one man; in or-,
der that they can frighten him into ap
pointing their friends—or force him to
appoint some blood-thirsty bully, who
wilt tight in defence of their misdeeds—
lor else appoint some counter-lifting
who will do the dirty work for their party
For these, and no other reasons, they op
' pose the election by the people. If the
people elect the Canal Board, the Gover
nor cannot order his tools on to the public
works—in total dtsregi rd of the people.
The Canal Commissioners will be inde•
pendent of the Executive; they will be
untratnelled, and they can obey the wish
' es of the people, without any tear of exec;
utive vengeance. Neither will it be neH
cessary for a supervisor to ask the gover- 1
nor who shall be lock keepers. The
Board will be an independent democrat
is For this reason they oppose it.
They say the people are unfit to choose
their own officers. Yet they call them.
selves democrats! and some of the people
believe them. Can you be longer delu
ded?
To the honor of John Hill, be it spoken'
he openly differed from his party; and de.
dared himself to much of a democrat to
vote against the rights of the people. Ile
believed they desired such a change, and'
he cared riot what party supported, or op
posed it, lie should support it.
We ask every honest man, to watch
carefully the votes of this canting demo
(love
party, and they will see that their
love of the people, is all talk; and called
upon to act, they refuse the people a tote!

ask for it a careful perusal. They will
discover in Mr. .Stevens' reply, why he
is not wanted in the house. They fear
his presence. They know that they can
not riot on unchecked in their career ol

pose prolonging the investigation uncon-'
stitational as it is, until the session is ad
journed, and thus rob Adams county of
her representation. A more unholy act
of usurpation was never dreamed of.
ft ithout any law to support their course.
without any precedent, they refuse a stem

that he has forfeited his seat, if so, why

their own words—they do not considre
the:seat vacated, if they did, they would
order another election. Let them go on;,
there is a day of retribution at hand.
Loco Foco Honesty.
When the bill for the election of canal
commissioners was under discussion, Mr.
Hopkins and some other of the Loco Fo
cos, said they would be willing to give the
people an 'opportunity to vote upon the
proposition to elect said board. After the
the bill was lost, an amendment of that
kind was offered, when the Locos called
the previous question, cutting all amend
ments off ; and Hopkins, and the others
voted for it. Thus refusing to give the
people even a chance to say. whether they
consider themselves competent to elect
canal commissioners. Thus Porter has
drilled his slaves, and they have agreed to
let the appointment remain in the hands of
one man; and he not a pattern of hones.

On Saturday the 11th., the motion was
resumed to have Mr. Stevens sworn in;
whereupon, one of the Loco Focos moved
it further postponement which passed, aad
then McElwee of Bedford, urged his mo
tion to have a committee appointed to en
quire into the charges against Mr. Stevens,
which, after an animated debate was
passed. The friends of Mr. Stevens con
tending that the whole course was a palpa
ble violation of the Constitution, and we
believe every one refused to act on said
committee.
On Monday in the Senate, a resolution
was passed calling on the canal commis
sioners for infOrmation respecting claims
on Col. Rail Road, certain abuses being

resolution allowing the Appraisers of Dam

In the House, a motion was made to
discharge the committee in the ease of Mr
Stevens, and that he be sworn in; the de
ba,e was animated and severe; and final
ly coded in giving the committee power
to send for persons and papers. The lot
lowiug resolutions were offered, but voted
down, 49 to 36.
Resolved, That when a majority of the
people of any representative district make
choice of a representative, unless said
representative be constitutionally disqual
ified, a moment's delay or suspension of
the right of representation, in such case,
is not only a lawless trampling upon the
right of suffrage, but is a clear and palpa

violation of the c:oustitution.
