Strange and fantas tic forms rose to the surface, and beckon ed him to approach; dark gleaming eyes peered from the water, and seemed to mock his hesitation, while hollow murmurs from behind, urged him onwards. lie re treated a few paces, took a short run, des. perate run and plunged into the river. Not five seconds had passed when he rose to the water's surface--but what a change had taken place in that short time, in all his thoughts and feelings ! Life— life—in any form, poverty, misery, starva tion—any thing but death. He fought and strugled with the water that closed over his-head, and screamed in agonies of terror. The curse of his own son rang in his ears. The shore—but one foot of dry' ground—he could almost touch the step.' One hand's breath nearer, and he wassav ed—but the tide bore him onward, under the dark arches of the bridge, and he sank to the bottom. Again he rose, and struggled for life. Fur one instant—for one brief instant— the buildings on the river's banks, the lights on the bridge through which the cur rent had borne him, the black water, and the fast flying clouds, were distinctly visi ble—once more he sunk, and once again he rose. Bright flames of fire shot up from earth to heaven, and reeled before his eyes, while the water thundered in his ears, and stunned him with its furious roar. A week afterward. the body was wash ed ashore, some miles down the river, a swollen and disfigured mass. Unrecogni sed and unpitied, it was borne to the grave; and there it has long since moul dered away ! To the Public.

This week we purpose giving an account somewhat at length. Our readers will bear in mind, that in this case THE TRUTH could be giv en in evidence, being a publication against a candidate for office. The suit was in stituted with a confident hope, that they had entrapped Mr. Campbell; as any one can see, who remembers the letter upon which it was based. The worst charges in the letter are not noticed, while those of minor importance , and as was supposed much less susceptible of proof, were seized hold of as the basis of the indict ' orient. A refferekce to the indictment, will satisfy any, who are acquainted with the circumstances, of the truth of what we say. In order, then, that the matter may be fairly understood, we shall here insert the indictment in full.—Read the INDICTMENT. In the Court of Quarter Sessions of the peace, in and for the County of Huntingdon, of November Sessions D. LB3B. Huntingdon Co. so.

REED Attorney Gen N Elt M I DDLESWORTII, per S. C'alvin T. P. CAMPBELL„ After a patient hearing of the witnes ses, the jury returned a verdict of .i'ot Guilty; for which verdict they have been the objects of the severest censure by the organ of Mr. Porter, in tills place; and a base and unprincipled attempt made to induce the people to believe that the ju ry Box had become the arena for conten ding politicians, and with a sneer, says the jury was composed of ten anti-ma sons and two democrats. That they were all Democrats, and contending against the encroachments of power upon their rights to inquire into the character of their ser vants, we hesitate not a moment to say, their verdict shows it; and their characters for honest and upright citizens, is a cer tain guarantee of it. That paper says, they are 'perjured all, every one, of what ever party, for it says their verdict is foun• ded without any evidence or argument to support it. They swore a "true verdict to give according to the evidence;" that pa per says they have not done so—is not that an indirect charge of perjury. What were the politics of the jury we know ''not, neither do we care. If by "democrats" is meant friends of Mr. Por ter, we can simply say that those two friends of Mr. Porter will not thank his mouth piece with charging them with perH jury. One of them, Mr. Flenner, we 1 know to be a man of correct conduct, of mild sod unobtrusive manners, *willing at all times to do right, but not to be tempt ed to wed himself to infamy and wrong, and when Mr: .Porter's paper charges him with compromising his integrity and honor, and basely submitting to agree to, that which is wrong, we hesitate not in saying, that they do Mr. Flenner man ifiest injustice. Who, or how many oth ers there were on the jury who were a mong ivir. rureers earnesi nt,...115 we can not say. Again this same paper says (this cause was decided expressly on political grounds' --as base a falsehood against the charac ter of that jury, as ever blackened the pa. eta of that sheet, against any man, or set Id men. We have it from 'undoubted authority, that there was not the expres , sinn of any !party feeling uttered or en -1 tertained by any of the jurors. But, that their decision was based upon the 'LAW AND THE VA CTS' unprejudiced by any other consideration. True, that paper says, "that the whole law, the whole evi dence, and the whole charge of the court that no honest man could - doubt" that Mr. Campbell would be convicted. Of course then, it says not one of the jurors were honest when !t.hey acquitted him. "The whole law !" the jury thought other wise. "The whole evidence !"--the jury did not think so. "('he charge of the Judge"— aye, aye, sir--“dang Bob we were sure of that before." If the annexed shall prove of use to any one, as explana tory of that cl.arge, we have nothing to say, farther--It is 'recorded in an oath, too' often taken, but not often violated. "I further promise and swear, that I will "ASSIST a companion Royal Arch Mason, "when I see him engaged in any difficulties, "will ESPOUSE HIS CAUSE, so far as to "EX - MICA:FE HIM from the same, "whether he be RIGHT Or WRONG ! ! "Binding myself under no less penalty than "to have my skull smote off, and my brains "exposed to the scorching rays of the me "ridi an sun ! ! ! " Whether this be explanatory, we leave to those who are better judges of cause and effect, than ourselves. It is sufficient for us to say, that a jury of our country's peers have declared, that Mr. Campbell wrote no li!)el, in writing as he did; and if that verdict leaves any rents in the tattered and torn character of Penn. sylvania's Governor; Pennsylvania must suffer the debasement. On the skirts of those who brought this ignominy'upon her, let the humilliating stain rest;, and let them in sackcloth and ashes, mourn over the degredafion brought upon us, and write upon the tablets of their memories that 1 sacred warning, let ithem hang it up as a tenor to ;their evil doers. It has been strikingly illustrated in the tours of the last week--“BE SURE YOUR SINS WILL FIND YOU OUT." The same paper further says, not one of the jury dare this moment say that Campbell was nut guilty in manner and form as he stood indicted." The fact, that the whole twelve says NOT GUIL TY, puts the lie upon that part of the story. "No knave c're felt the halter draw, With good opinion of the law." Is a very old, and withal!, very true say ing. If e never saw it more clearly de monstrated than in the ravings of theJ Advocate' at the decision of the jury in ,this case. It,is really rabid—"scoun drels, villians, dm," appears to hang on his very tongue, "of the fulness of the heart, the mouth speaketh." The whole truth is, they have, in order to keep the spirits of their partisans up, made out as pretty a case by SPECIAL PLEADING, as one need look at. An hon est man, unacquainted with the fact, •6ould almost think that the jury had been packed to clear Campbell, and that they all agreed about his guilt, and fined him five Or six hundred dollars- for his "SLACK MALIGNANT HEARST' and that for all this they were a set of "Anti-ma sonic, political, and to cap the climax, MORAL SCOUNDRELS, VILLIANS IST," for finding him "NOT GUILTY" of a libel— whereas, if any one acquainted with the facts was to read it,it would dwindle down to the plain statement; that the truth was allowed in evidence, and what was called false, wicked and malicious, assumed a character of too muds PROBABLE truth-- although Davy R. was some hours swear- 1 ing AS vsvaL, yet the verdict of the jury indicated a slight inclination not to take all for gospel that might be found in an old almanack . But we will take up no more time at present, but will content ourselves with letting the Governor wear back to Harrisburg, all the honors lie gained in this suit, and it the looks of his friends do not tell him that they as well as he, have got the ague, we shall be mis taken. "The Statute of Repose?) There has nothing transpired within the last year which has thrown so much of a gloom on the faces of Porter's friends, or more completely opened their eyes to the rents in the garments which hide the de formity of his character, than the circum stance of his pleading the Statute of Lim itations. Last fall, when this suit was pending, the friends of Porter loudly do clared that he never would put in that disgraceful plea. Before the arbitrators, when it was tried, he boldly declared in the name of his God, that he never had , nor never would disgrace himself and hi s friends by doing so. And if we are not misinformed, when he was giving in his testimony at Allentown, he there said he never would put in that plea. Then he Lnee s t,.. okt uouhs were lust, and never could rise in judgement against him. But they did come to light; and then a deci sion of the jury box was likely to say he must " fork up" to the injured Crains, then, rather than to loose his hold of his ill-gotten wealth—and render justice to his poor and oppressed creditor, he pleads the length of time it has been owed as an excuse for not paying it at all. Shame! shame!! and this conduct from a Gover nor of Pennsylvania. The advocate" has thrown out a lit tle of its special pleading in behalf of its real owner and self apparent controller. First, then, the plaintiff was sent by ns, so says that print, to Mr. Blair--next the Crains had been tools enough to let Porter owe them 23 years—and knowing he had no property on record, thought he was poor, and could not pay. Last fall we gave our readers to know that Porter claimed to be worth forty thousand do:- , lars. Then they thought of course it was the right tune to call and get honest Davy to "hand over; " so they did, but it was all for nix. It was arbitrated, and Crains lost their cause, because they could not produce all the old books. But they ap pealed, and in the mean time found all the books of both parties—Porter and, the Crains; and both books agreeing to a' dollar, proclaimed the actual debt as de manded. This was a little too strong, and honest David R. pleads the Statute of Limitations, to get rid of paying it. This paper however says the "books were lost —the clerks dead and gone,"—yet if Por ter had let the trial go before a jury of his neighbors, he would have seen the clerks all alive. and the books all safe. But the " Advocate," shameless, and hardened as! it is, dislikes to own that his master plead! the Statute of Limitations. It is too harsh a sound—it grates even on his depraved ear, and reader what do you think he calls itt—Oh such a mild, and innocent name -just exactly fitted to the character of the Injured Innocent,"—what a difference! in sound—who would think it could make such a cliang,e—. The Statute of Repose." by there is really music in that word; who would imagine that it meant refusing to pay a debt of six year. standing. Au gustus Tomlinson, a worthy knight of the road, who robbed •and plundered in the most gentlemanly manner, always told his associates not to talk okrobbing—it was appropriating, with him. So with the Advocate,"— don't say statute of li mitations, but the statute of repose is inter posed. It farther asks very sagely, what was the law made for if it was not to be used? Made for indeed? Not a cloak for a man to cheat his poor neighbor un der. First take the benefit—and when ( in after years he got hold of property, it was held in another's name, because his old claims would be inconvenient, at least so he told Thotnas Jackson, and when he gets by . some mishap Governor of Penn sylvania, then he r efuses to pay these old debts, but resorts to that law intended for good, but now used for base wrong. There are a few of Mr. Porter's dupes who are still willing to deny that he has resorted to that statute to protect him from his creditors; aye deny it in round terms, although the docket of the court shows in simple words that, the only rea son why Porter would not pay Crain's was that, like fools they had trusted him more than six years. The lawyers have a snug way of doing a thing, and when the suit was brought into court, Porter's law yer gets up and tells the court, "non as. sumpmt infra sexannos,"—reader that's latin, and means in plain engl ish, " I don't pay any debts that are more than six years old." But say Porter's friends he did not plead the statute of limitations—he plead the statute of repose--he only said in court" non assumpsit infra sexannos," that's all—there is nothin,g in that about limitations. No: but, reader, there is a little something about not paying debts after the creditor has bees fool enough to trust him six years. The Advocate would seem to " insin uate" that we were instrumental in the bringing of that suit. We are not aware of any influence that was used for that purpose. But we trust the plundered claimants will take the cause to the su preme court, and have the question there tested whether an insolvent can take ad vantage of that statute of repose--and it he can, let it be reported in the books that the Governor of Pennsylvania plead the statute of limitations (when lie was worth forty thousand dollars), upon a poor ' creditor. More of the investigation. The people of Pennsylvania, were never more grossly insulted by what pretended to be a legal investigation, than by the course and conduct of the inquisitor him self, and of his partisans. Nor is this all. They are not only insulted, but the money we zing from them by taxation, is squandered, upon a useless subject, to deceive them, and to enrich a few profli gate partisans. That we may be understood, we will explain. The auditor general, is directed to examine the vouchers of the accounts of “the Break." lie comes here and quarters himself at a tavern, hangs about the bar room— lounges on the benches— and gathers up his budget of petty islan der, which may be rife in the town, and after a week or so, pitches his tent in some section of the county ; begins sum.; moning witnesses. lie gathers in shoals —such as suit his purpose ; and then one sided testimony is sent out to the world AS truth. One sided we say, because we have been told that when a witness states any thing to the credit of the officers, it has even been refused insertion in their statement. When through at one place, he steers his course for some other port: Again, his messenger is on the high road for suVeets. Perhaps a dozen are subpee naed,,-Four or five examined ; and then bit again by some magot of mischief— away he goes, and the remaining num ber are left till the same cause lfrings him back, to go through the same scene once more. We believe that there are cases of witnesses, having been subpoenaed three or four times— attending—and have yet to give their testimony. Must these wit nesses travel around to hunt him up ? must they make two, three, or four trips of twenty-five, fifty, or a hundred miles, before they can find him in a humor—and be allowed pay for only one attendance. One of two things must be true—either they are paid for each time, or they are robbed of their time—if they are paid, the State Treasury is robbed by the caprice or negligence or this o ffi cer. Twice has Alexander McConnell, been brought front Blairsville—qis testimony is yet to be heard, unless taken at Hollidaysburg since he left here; for when lie got here, he found his man was "away to the moun tains away."— In order to show how they try to de ceive the people we need only advert to one fact. 'lwo weeks ago the mouth piece of the party, stated - that Samuel Royer, had sot the state hands to dig, a tail race to his forge—and that they were paid by the State. Thus making it ap. pear that Mr. Royer, had not paid for it. When this statement appeared in the pa per, Mr. Royer, desired that his friends should know that the charge was false. To show which he procures the statement of Messrs. Bell, and McNeilly; and sends them to the same paper for publication. in order that the antidote might follow the bane.; and what is the result—They refuse to publish them. Thus they think that they can keep the truth from their readers. What think you honest reader, (even though you belong to the party) of such conduct, are you willing to support a pa per that wilfully refuses to contradict such base falsehoods, against your citi zens. It is the first time in our recollec tion, where conduct so totally unworthy a freeman, has been enacted by an Edi tor professing to give his readers the truth;
