Besides their nightly or weekly meetings they held one grand annual faturnalia, in which each tried to exceed the other 'in drunkenness and blasphemy, and on these occasions there was no star amongst them whose lurid light was more conspicuous than that of young Mr. Archibald 8., who, endowed with brilliant talents, and a handsome person, bad held out a great promise in his boyhood and raised hopes which had been completely frustrated by his sub sequent reckless dissipation. One morning after returning from his annual festival, Mr. Archibald 8., having retired to bed dreamed the fol lowing dream He fancied that be himself was moun ted on a favorite black horse that he al ways rode, and that he was proceeding towards his own house—then a country seat embowered by trees and situated upon a hill, now entirely built over, and 1 forming part of the city, when a stran ger, whom the darkness of the night prevented his distinctly discerning, suddenly seined his horse's rein saying, "You must go with me!" "And who are you 1" exclaimed the young man with it volley of oaths, whilst he struggled to free himself, " That you will see by and by," re turned the other, in a tone that excited unaccountable terror in the youth g who, plunging his spurs into his horse, at tempted to fly but in vain, However fast the animal flew s the stranger was still beside him, till at length in his des perate effort to escape, the rider was thrown, but instead of being dashed to the earth as he expected, he found him self falling—falling, still as if sinking into the bowels of the earth. At length a period being put to his mysterious descent he found breath to inquire of his companion, who was still beside himn whither they were going.— " Where am 11—Where are you taking me ?" he exclaimed. " To hell !"- replied the stranger ; and immediately interminable echoes repeat ed the fearful sound, "To hell ! to hell !" At length a light appeared which soon increased to a blaze; but instead of cries, groans and lainentings, the terrified traveller expected, nothing met his ear but sounds of music, mirth, and jolity, and lie found himself at the entrance of a suberb building, far exceeding any thing he had seen constructed by human hands. Within, too, what a scone!— No amusement, employment, or pursuit of man on earth, but was here being carried on with a vehemence that exci ted his unutterable amazement. There the young and lovely still swam through the mazes of the giddy dance 1 There the panting steed still bore his brutal rider through the excitements of the goaded race ! There over the midnight howl the intemperate still drawled out the wanton song of maudlin blasphemy ! The gambler plied forever his endless game and the slaves of Mammon toiled through eternity their endless task; whilst all the magnificence of earth pa led before that which now met his view. He soon perceived that he was among old acquaintances, whom he knew to be dead ; and each, he observed, was pur suing the object whatever it was that had formerly engrossed him ; when find ing himself relieved from the pressure of his unwelcome conductor, he ventu red to address his former friend, Mrs. D—, whom he saw sitting as had been her wont on earth, absorbed at 100 —requesting her to rest from the game and introduce him to the pleasures of the place, which appeared to him to be very unlike what he had expected, and indeed as extremely agreeable one.— But with a cry of agony she answered, that there was no rest in hell, that they must toil on at those very pleasures; and innumerable voices echoed through the interminable vaults, "There is no rest in hell," whilst throwing open their vests, each disclosed in his bosom an ever burning flame ! These they said were the pleasures of hell ; their choice on earth was now their inevitable doom. In the midst of the horror this scene in spired, his conductor returned, and at his earnest entreaty, restored him again to earth; but as he quitted he said, " Remember! in a year and a day we meet again !" At this crisis of his dream the sleep er awoke feverish and ill ; and whether from the effect of the dream or of his pre ceding orgies he was so unwell as to be obligedto keep his bed for several days, during which period he• had time for many serious reflections which termina ted in a resolution to abandon the club and his licentious companions alto gether. He was no sooner well, however, than. HUNTINGDON, PA,, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1848. they flocked around him, bent on recov ering so valuable a member of their so ciety : and having wrung from him a confession of the cause of defection which as may be supposed, appeared to them eminently ridiculous, they soon contrived to make him ashamed of his good resolutions. He joined them again; resuming his former course of life, and when the annual saturnalia came round, he found himself glass in hand at the ta ble; when the president rising to make the accustomed speech, began with say ing . . Gentlemen, this being leap year, it is a year and a day since oar last anni versary," &c, The words struck upon the young man's ear like a knell, but ashamed to expose his weakness to the jeers of his companions, he sat out the feast, plying himself with wine and even more liberally than usual, in order to drown his intrusive thoughts, till in the gloom of a winter's morning he mount ed his horse to ride home. Some hours afterwards, the horse was found with his saddle and bridle on, grazing by the road side about half way between the city and Mr. B's house ; whilst a few 1 yards off lay the corpse of his master. Now, as I have said in introducing, this story is no fiction, the circumstance happened as here related. An account of it was published at the time, but the copies were bought up by the family. Two or three however were preserved and the narrative has been reprinted. [From the Reading Journal.] An "Apple.Buttee Speculation. A good story is told at the expense of several of the candidates for office be fore the recent Locofoco County Con vention. It seems that a countryman near town had the good fortune to be chosen one of the delegates of his town ship, and in pursuance of " ancient dem ocratic usage" set his wits to work how he could best raise the wind, without appearing to be actually bribed. A lucky thought struck him. He had just boil ed• a large supply of "Apple-butter" and a few days before the meeting of the Convention he loaded up a number of earthen pots filled with this popular sauce and set out for Reading. Arrived in town, lie was soon pounced upon by a hungry office-seeker of his acquaint ance who was busy in buying over the delegates. Our hero was approached in the usual way,—" give me a lift this time, and I will not forget you hereaf ter," but the apple-butter man was not to be bamboozled by promises—which experience most probably had taught him were never fulfilled. Pointing out his stock in trade he remarked— " I have some nice apple-butter, and as my motto is, to encourage those who encourage me, I will thank you to look at it before I answer your question." " 0 certainly—just happen to want apple-butter !" said the candidate remo ving the cloth. " very fine article, this —whats the price 'I" continued he by no means indisposed to encourage home manufacture, provided he could thereby secure a vote in the Convention. " Five dollars a pot, seeing it's you!" replied the apple-butter man with a pe culiar twinkle of the eye. " Hum! Apple-butter has riz !"—ex claimed the candidate. "Yes!—Glorious effects of the Tariff of '46 !—But if you think it's too high you may have my vote on Saturday in the bargain." The money was paid and the apple butter transferred. The office-seeker run over his list of delegates and mark ing opposite the apple-butter man's name—" good for one vote," set out to buy up other delegates. The speculation succeeded so well that the delegate, in his character of apple butter merchant resolved to call upon all his " democrat friends" out for office, and approach them in the same way. In a , very short time he had dis posed of some twenty or thirty pots, at prices ranging from 4;2 to slo' each, netting altogether a very handsome sum by the speculation. But the• best of the story remains to be told. It turned out that the apple butter delegate " had dealing" with half a dozen candidates for the same office, and as he could only vote for one, of course four-fifths of his " best customers" were most gloriously humbugged ! This apple-butter transaction, we are assured on Locofoco authority, is actu ally true. It leaked out through one upon whom the "saw" was played, and who considered it quite too good a joke to keep himself. Many other charges of bribery and corruption have been made, and if half the stories are true that are whispered about by the Locofocos themselves, the proceedings in the Locofoco Delegate Convention were of so outrageous character that the wonder is any respec table man is willing to endorse them by his vote. But the mass of the party know nothing of .the rascality of their leaders, and no wonder, when it is re membered that they sit with closed doors, besides being all equally culpable and steeped in rascality, no one could enter' into an expose without criminating him self. General Cass and the Volunteers. There is, perhaps, no act of the Lo cofoco candidate for President which places him and them in such bad odor before the public, as his heartless and unfeeling conduct in regard to the re duction of the volunteers monthly allow ance in lieu of clothing : and, most as suredly, no act so richly deserves the execration of the volunteers, and their sincere friends. It is well known to every one, with what promptitude and alacrity a portion', of the youth of our country responded to the call of the President, in the full of 1846. What sacrifices were made to the genuine spirit of patriotism 1 The plow, the work shop, and the semina , ries of learning, were forsalien—the lawyer and his student were found in the ranks together—the youth in his teens, and the aged patriot whose head was silvered over with the frosts of age —without distinction of party, respond ed to their country's call ; and, with brawney arms, and vigorous constitu tion—confiding in honor, humanity, and paternal duty of their Government to sustain and cherish them in their haz ardous enterprise, advanced, boldly and Unhesitatingly, into an enemy's country to succour and aid their co untrymen in the tented field ; and to " conquer an honorable peace." Well, were their reasonable expecta tions realized 1 Accompany them to New Orleans,—their last foothold on their father land. Did the Government care for them there? Did these citizen soldiers, who had left comfort, and ease and many of them affluence behind them, meet with the attention, and regard, and ease, testowed upon the inercinary sol dier who fought for pay 1 By no means. They were obliged to encamp in the open morass on the bank of the river, exposed to the drenchings rains, and feverish sun of a tropical sky, luxuriat ing upon Uncle Sam's salt pork and beans, whilst the splendid barracks, within sight of them, in a healthy situ ation, were vacant and unoccupied ! Here the work of decimation and death commenced ; and, here many a youth ful heart yearned for its parents fire side again. But, let us accompany them to Vera Cruz. They are in the surf boats—they, plunge into the briny wave to the waist —they hasten on shore,—they tread the burning soil of the Aztecs. Vera Cruz and the Castle of San Juan de tuba are reduced, and the Stars and Stripes wave over its proud battlements ! But, where do you find the volunteers after this, ! their first glorious achievment 1 En camped on a low marshy beach under the perpendicular rays of a broiling sun, exposed to the deadly malaria of the stagnant and putrid ponds which sur round the city. The certain result was diarrea and fever; and in a few days, over two thousand of our volunteers were consigned to the hospital— that great charnel house from which, but few ever escaped with their lives. Accompany the survivors to Cero Gordo—to Jalapa, Puebla, Perote, Cher ubusc'o, Contreras, Malino del Rey, Cha pultepec, the city gates—and behold the ample folds of our country's banner proudly floating over the Halls of the Montezumas But, as you proceed with your gallant countrymen in their glorious career, mark what ravages dis ease and the battle field has made!' Look at the grave yard that extends from Ve ra Ciuz to the city of Mexico , l Cast your eyes upon those two thousand new ly made graves outside the Castle of Pe rote! Look at the wounded and sick volunteers stretched on. hard comfortless hammocks in and around the city of Mexico, wasting under the effects of loathsome disease, and suffering under ghastly and unsightly wounds—in a strange land,. an enemies country, amongst a peopleof strange speech—no wife, or mother, or sister's hand to smooth the pillow, or soothe the fever ed brow, and palpitating heart, as it sinks with all the fond recollections of parents and friends, and the home which he was never more to behold, into the' grave, in the view of those whom he had conquered! and ask yourselves whether the Administration acted with justice and humanity towards these gallant spirits 1 Keeping this picture in view, hasten back to the city of Washington, step into the Senate Chamber, and note that portly aristocratic Senator on the left, seated in a rich velvet cushioned arm chair—in the enjoyment of all the ease and luxury which wealth and station can afford—in the receipt of eight dol. A* lara a day out of the National Treasury, He is now addressing the Senate with great vehemence, on the Mexican goes- , Lion, and urging the necessity of "pre• paring the hearts of the people for war," and demonstrating the capacity of the United States to "mallow the it,hole of Mexico at a meal." He is Chairman of the Military Committee. Accompany him to the Committee room—he is now deliberately engaged in drafting a "bill. to provide clothing for the volunteers !" It is reported to the Senate ; and owing to the high source tithence it emanates, and its meritorious title, is passed with out scrutiny or opposition. Read that bill : its effect is to reduce the pay of the volunteers, in the sad state of an guish and misery in which you have left them in and around the city of Mexico, more than one dollar per month !!! Note him carefully. This is the same Lewis Cass which the hunker branch of the Locofoco party have presented to the people of the United Statrl. as their candidate for the office of Presi dent—the same Lewis Cass which their hireling presses, and pedling politicians —those in peace and ix war, in pesti lence or in famine, keep their aim stead. ily fixed upon the " DIAN CIIANCE,' Y and with the keen scent of the sleuth hound track lip the game to its lair, and seldom fail to lay hold of the loaves send little fishes—these,we say, are the class of individuals, who, with unblushing ef frontery are urging volunteers and their friends to vote for their heartless can didate. This inhuman and unfeeling conduct on the part of Lewis Cass, towards the sick and dying volunteers, was, at first, attempted to be excused and paliated, but now the penny whistles engaged in trutnpetint his fame, have the audacity to deny his participation in the matter altogether ; and, with true locofoco dex terity, attempt to cast the blame upon the Whigs ! Courtesy in the Family If any one doubts whether the family circle is a frequent witness of a want of due courtesy, even among its well dis posed members let bin, apply one test, which to us seems perfectly safe—that is, which never unjustly casts censure, though often too liberal in its acquittals —viz, would you thus speak to husband, wife, sister, brother, child, &c., if a stranger were present We of course do not refer to the thou sand instances in which a parent un binds himself to engage in the frolics' and sports of his child nor to language used in judicious discipline, but to ordi nary intercourse as among companions and associates. Not only will this condemn all rude ness on the part of equals in age and condition, cut of parents in their utter ance with children, and of teachers with their pupils. The "1 will" and the "1 wont," so obnoxious on the part of chil dren, no one defends, though our ears do, even now hear sometimes from those almost or quite at the years of "freedom" language equally as impertinent ad dressed to the aged. But such gross instances of impropriety arc too univer sally censurable to need comment. Not only is it wrong for children to use such language to parents, or pupils to teach ers, but equally so thus to address chil dren and scholars. I t is uncourteous, and they have no tight to set such an example before the young.—A parent or teacher has no more right to trample upon the rules of good breeding and kindnes than any body else. In some respects, such an exam ple from them is fraught with the great est possible evil'. The language of refinement only should be tolerated in a family or a school room, and the heads of those in stitutions should be the last to violate this rule. Our public tables, the coach, car and steamboat, worti'd not exhibit so much of the ludicrous, nor of the offensive, if this rule were strictly observed in the family circie and in the school room. If parents would also exhibit courtesy in their intercourse with their children, in most cases, children should be cour teous to each other and to their associ ates and acquaintances. It takes the Vidders.—Quite a mistake has taken place in a love affair in Phil adelphia. A couple of young fools agreed to elope together, and by some mistake in the preliminary arrange ments, the male lover put his ladder up to the window next to that in which his sweet-heart slept, which proved•to be that in which her mamma, a handsome widow, reposed. She, however, turned' the mistake to her own advantage, got into his arms, was bourn by him into the carriage, and by preserving silence until daylight, kept him in error, and then by the potent power of her bland ishments, actually charmed him into matrimony.

Bolters.—The Amherst Express thinks those who, taking the ground that the Whig party is dissolved, have left its candidates to support Mr. Van Buren, are now in a position similar to that of the hero of one of Gough's tem perance or anti-temperance anecdotes. He was riding with the driver or a stage coach near Rochester; he had ta ken a drop too much, and consequently was suable to retain his scat, and fell overboard into the sand. The coach stopped of course for the gentleman (!) to regain his seat. He soon gathered up, whmi the fo4 , lOwing colloquy ensued ; "'Well, driver',.:(hie,) we've had, quite a turn (hie) over, hain't wo "No, we have not turned over at all." "1 say we (hic) have."

Wiltnot's Congressional District is composed of the throe following coun ties, alwaYs giving a strong democratic rriftjority, as is shown by their votes is , 1841: POLK. 3,56 S 2,1397 Bradford, Susquehanna, Tioga, Total, 8, OS Democratic majoriO, 2,25`1 in the dis trict, or over one-third of Polk's major ity in the State. These conntiem are in the nor thern part of Petinsyls.ania bete a pop ulation of New England o'r'igin, and aro strongly tinctured with anti-slavery no tions. They are, therefore, nidre likely to go for Van Buren than Cass at the ensuing election. The following Coun ties, also in the Nortlitrn part of Penn- sylvanin, area of similar character with Wilmot's district, and probably will be similarly affected POLT. 1,657 761 Wayne, Pike, Carbon Jefferson, Potter, McKean, Warren, Luzerne, Wyoming, I,no 3,9.50 A 99 Total, Add three counties in Wilmot's district as above, 11,033 8,136 Total, 10,191 Democratic majority in these counties 6,121. That it will be seen that iwthese I'2 counties, the population of which is principally of New England origin, the . democratic majority in 1844, was 6,121 while Mr. Polk's majority in the State was only 6,335 nearly all of which was made up by the Van Buren or Free Soil movement, under the vote of these counties referred to. Should the auspi ces of Mr. Wilmot, the Proviso man, demolish the democratic party in these Counties ; it is evident that the prospects for Cass and Butler would be slender in Pennsylvania. These are some of the facts which led ue to remark that the prospects for Gen. Taylor in Pennsyl vania, were bet terthan those of General Harrison, in 184.01—. N. Y.
