Rev. T. P. Hunt.
This celebrated Temperance lecturer
%isited our town on Monday the 14th inst.
awl if mined here until the morning of
l'hursday the 24th. On the night of
Tuesday the 15th he commenced a series
~1 lectures which were continued from
to night during the whole period of
114 sojourn among us, and attracted crouds
of auditors. The zeal and eloquence of
his lectures stirred up the lagging and
dormant spirits of the Washingtonians in
this neighborhood, and incited them to
renewed exertions in the good cause.—
The veteran lecturer kept blazing away
at intemperance and the trade in ardent
spirits until he warmed almost every heart
and kindled hope in almost every breast.
As a temperance lecturer Mr. Hunt pos
sesses much more than ordinary talents;
and if he has a fault it is that he has too
much severity. On the Sabbath he preach
ed three sermons—two in the Presbyte
rian and one in the Methodist church.--- ,
From this place he went to Hollidaysburg,
where he commenced lecturing in Thurs
day night, May success attend his

By the Previous Pardon of Coots, Leas
Riot M'Vitty, published in another col.
umr, it will be seen that the governor
granted the pardon on the ground that the
indictment was preferred at a period of
great political excitement, when the minds
of men were in some degree excited with
rancorous animosity against each other"
&c' By a close inspection of th: same
document" it will also be seen that it
was originally dated on the Ist of April
1842, but afterwards changed to the lst l
of August.
Well, at the time when*Coule, Leas and
M'Vitty were pardoned, on the grounds
hbove stated, John Shaver was prosecuted
•ith a vengeance that is rarly manifest
o in a court of justice; and fur more than
iniinth afterwards the persecution con
tinued.
These facts show that the Governor's
recitals in the pardon are sheer hypocrisy.
Nor is there less hypocrisy manifested by
interlining the pardon so as to show that
none prosegui had been entered as to
haver, and omitting to say that he had
already been prosecuted for the same of-,
fence.

Our P - aders will recollect that at No
vniiber Sessions 1841, the Grand Jury
of this county returned a presenttnent
against Christian Coats, William B. Leas
and Samuel McVitty fur the crime of
\Conspiracy before the cisalial Election of
1841, in unlawfully tirgrwickedly con
spiring, conNning, confederating and
;.greeing together to influence electors, by
gifts and rewards, or plotnises thereof, to
vote fur John Shaver, then a candidate
for the office of Sheriff. The Deputy
Attorney General was instructed by the
Court to send up the bill against them,
which he did at January Sessions last, in
which he included the said John Shaver,
and the bill was returned " a true bill" by
the Grand Jury. Um Shaver having been
before prosecuted fur the same offence,
the Court directed the Prosecuting Attor-
I ney to enter a nolle proseque as to him,
which was accordingly done. The in
ditement was then continued from Court
to Court until the 15th inst. when it was
'called up for trial. The defendants then
appeared ; but, instead of asking for a
jury of their country to try the charges in
the indictment, they produced a Pardon
from His Excellency David It. Porter,
Governor of the State of Pennsylvania,
under the great seal of the Commonwealth,
which was pleaded in bar of the in-
Aictment. After readiitg the Pardon, the
defendants were discharged ; and thus, by
this precious sample of " Executive clem
ency" our Court, and Jury, and the elec
tion laws are rendered powerless and
contemptible. An act like this is olden•
lated to astound even those who are folly
acquainted with the villanies of the Gov
ernor; and many of his political friends
here felt " the crimson blush of shame"
burning upon their cheeks when they
heard the disgraceful paper read in Court.
As we are anxious that all shall see the

.rnor wonderous kind," we here insert

that neither public justice or the good of

Now, therefore, in consideration of the

case for the exercise of the Executive
clemency, and do pardon the said Chris

Alas, poor degraded Pennsylvania!—
In vain have our legislators studied to
;ward against every corrupt encroachment,
with which the inestimable right of suf.,
i (rage is threatened—in vain are our grand
'juries charged to inquire into and present
ill violations and violators of that right—
and to vsio do oar courts todtavor to
nantaiti it in its purity if the Guy
oililly steps ittled says .• that 'later
public justice or 'the good of society
Ile promoted by any punishment of the ,
, litiduincharged" with such offences.
Governor Porter has pardoned lihelfirgs,\

Aligh s ind low degree, but never before has,
the 4Aat seal" been a ffi xed to any par-,
ilo, h
is so enormous in its effects
;eßtfZonsequencAw as is this one. In a,
government like our own, where elec
tions are of frequent occurrence, and
where the safety of life and fortune and
every thing that is dear to freemen des
ponds upon them, their purity, which is of
the most vital importance, should be,
guarded by all ; but most of all by him
who is sworn to see that the laws be faith- 1
fully executed. Of Messrs. Coots, Leas
and McVitty we say nothing disparaging'
—as men they are as good and perhaps
better than many of their neighbors; but
this makes.the example only the more dan
gerous. They should have been tried—
not with the savageness, however, which
characterized the trial of Sheriff Shaver—
hut they should have been tried like other
men, and suffered the penalties of the,
law. Then community would have been
satisfied— they would have but received
their deserts--and it would have been a
check upon other offenders. As it is, it
will be hailed by the politicians of the
dominant party as a general license to
practice all manner °refection frauds.—
Here are three Locotocos, one a Justice of
'te Peace, another a merchant and the
ird a tavern keeper, calling themselves
" Workingmen" or " Democrats".
profit themselves they go into a Conspi
racy to defeat one Whig candidate and to
elect another—they succeed ; and after
the election the Sheriff' elect sticks to his
Whig principles in spite of all they can
do ; and then the Locoloco or Working
men's party, or their leaders, prosecute
I,iin with fiendish malignity—he is con
victed, sentenced, fined and imprisoned-•-
and not content with this, his persecutors
pursue him even to the Supreme Court
and endeavor to have him declared infa
mous and deprived of all the rights of a
freeman. But when the grand jury ferret
out the principal actors in the Conspiracy,
and they are called before the Court fur
trial, the . Governor, in the plentitude of
his mercy, says STOP, neither public jus•
Lice or the good of society will be promoted
by any punishment of these individuals!"
This is an end of it, and the Conspirators
are let off " unwhipt of justice."
What think you, Pennsylvanians, of
such conduct on the part of your chief
Executive officer Are your rights se

Is it Justice 7 Is it 't D,lnocracy." II it
is, then God deliver us from such De-
locracy:
The Death Scene of Colt.
The newspapers of last week are filled
with minute accounts of the closing scenes
, n the life of John C. Colt—scenes which
ire too extravagant for fiction itself. We
ioubt the propriety of spreading pictures
f crime before the e3ei of the com
munity, and "lionising" the perpetrators
thereof after they are under the condem•
nation of the law. But in the case of
Colt, which has attracted much attention
from all quarters, there is something so
unusual—so high a degree of guilt, hypoc
risy and recklesseess—that we deem it
due to our readers to condense and lay
before them the facts as they have come
to:our knowledge.
It will be recollected that some monthsl
ago, Colt was convicted, in New York, of
the murder of Samuel Adams, in that city
—that a motion for a new trial was made,'
which, after much discussion, was over
ruled—that the case was then removed to
the Court of Errors, and there the deci
sion of the court below was affirmed unan•
imously—that an effort was made by hi,
'friends to procure his pardon, which Gov
ernor Seward, with a manly firmness.
worthy the imitation of some other Gover
nors, refused to grant. He was sentence.,
io be executed on Friday the 18th inst.
Colt is represented as a high-born well•
educated villian. On the day the execu
tion was to take place a crowd of persons
gathered around the prison in which th.
convict was confined. On the mornint.'
of the day of his death, he was marries ,
to Caroline Henshaw, the mother of hi.
child. The marriage ceremony was per
formed in the narrow cell, by the Rev.
Dr. Anthon, in the presence of several
persons. " What a bridal scene! The
marriage hall a prison cell The pros
pect from the bridal window the bride

ced to die a felon'. death in a few short

gre th. , set of pun to mourn over the ig
rionoutous grave of him with whom her
( reputation and fortunes were just linked
lby the sacred ties of love and matrimo-
Illy!" Their purling is said to have been'
iso affecting as to draw tears from the eyes
H of the spectators. After this, several of
his friends went to the door of the prison
ler's cell, shook him by the hand and bade
him a last ferewell. Ile then desired to
be left to himself until 4 o'clock, the hour
'appointed for his death. The door was
accordingly locked at half past two. At
3 o'clock one of the deputy sheriffs un
locked the door and looked in, when Colt
was walking his cell. lie was not seen
again alive. At precisely five minutes
lbefore 4 o'clock the door of the cell was

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
WASHINGTON TEMPERANCE
SOCIETY of the borough of huntingdon.
November 26, 1842.
WASIIINOTONIANS
In compliance with our
Constitution, I now lay before you the
(Annual Report of this society,
The Society was instituted on the 10th
of November 1841. On the evening of the
17th we were visited by a delegation from
the Washington Society of Lewistown,
who addressed a large assembly in the
M. E. Church. On this evening the torch
of Washingtonianism was first lighted in
this county.
The society was fully organized on the
27th Nov. 1841, by the adoption of the
Declaration of Principles and the Consti
tution, (with a few amendments) of the
" Baltimore Washington Total Absti
nence Society," and also by the election
of a Board of Officers for the government
ot the society.
Immediately upon our organization, the
whole moral atmosphere gave evidence,
that the day was not far distant, when the
suffering inebriate, the moderate drinker,
and even the cold, calculating moralist,
would all unite with zeal and energy, tw
assist in expelling from our country, the'
use of all intoxicating liquors as a bever
age.
The standardof our cause was scarcely
unfurled to the breeze, ere the haggard
slave of alcohol found under its glorious
folds, hopes of new life, and new scenes
of happiness ; and came, like the Prodigal
son, and begged to be admitted into our
brotherhood, and, in the language of the
Poet,
" Woman followed, gleaning
New hopes, with glistning tears."
Our first meetings were characterized
by a fervent anxiety, which showed, that
the signs of promise gave us the assurance
of success.
Thus prepared, we took the field to do
battle in the cause•of hums n!ty. Resolu.
;ions were adopted that a standing commit
tee be appointed to visit every Township in
this county—to call meetings, and to urge
every friend of debased and degraded hu
manity, to unite with us in keeping stead
fast the reclaimed, reclaiming the wan
dering—aod use every power to plant our
Flug of" the free hearts, only home," upon
every hill ; to rear altars dedicated by the
sighs and tears of the orphan, the widow
and the mother, to the sacred cause of to
tal abstinence.
It is with feelings, which none but one
of the reclaimed can feel, that 1, as Sec
retary of this society, report the faithful
ness of that committee in their labor of
love. Unceasing were their efforts.--
Through the piercings of the winter's blast,
onward they bore our banner of light, and
it was hailed as the star of hope by the
palsied drunkard, and he seized the
" Pledge•" as the ark of safety, and with
tears, which spoke of a bruised and con
trite heart, he told in burning words, his,
tale of wrong. Home, with its joys, again'
rose with all its beauties, before him, and
he shouted in the wildness of his joy,
"Raise your banner, raise it high,
Let it flap against the sky."
It is the breaking of n moral morn, the
sun of which, is g radually rising, to give
warmth and light to time cold and lievigliteti
welt:dew in o,e r oho of intemperance;
and to the labors of that committee. the
Cause, under God, owes much ; every hill
and e% cry valley, has resounded
their eloque nee and their tongs of glad.
ness and rejoicing.
During the course of one short sear,
our own society has swelled in numbers to
three hundred and fifty—whilst the many
auxiliuries in our county number thou.

Nor would I *be doing justice to that
Patriot and Chistian Father in our cause,
should I neglect thus publicly to mole,

ring the last two weeks, has been awn,
