Sergeant at Arias for the House.
We notice by our exchanges that Dr. C
W. Moore of Huntingdon County is na
med es a candidate for Sergeant.at-Arms
of the next House of Representives. We
know Dr. Moore very well. Be has al
ways battled against the despotism of the
LOOO Foco Piny, and especially so in ref -

To say that he is fully competent for such
a position, would be superfluous.—Pltil'a

We heartily concur in the above favor
able suggestion of the name of Dr, C. W.
Moore for the office of Sergeant-at-Arms.
He is a man of irreproachable character,
an unflinching member of the People's
Party, and would make a popular and effi

favorable consideration of the members of
the House, and hope to see him success

with the busine,a interests of the State,
and could do more to further these inter

and administrative capacity; and if eleotod

THE DIFFERENCE
The Pennsylvania State Jonrnal very
truthfully says that when Senator Sum
ner was so trutally assaulted, Democrats
said .he got what he deserved," When
Kansas was invaded by border ruffians,
and life and property was mercilessly de
atroyed, Democrats applauded and defen.
ded them. When Gov. Wise threatened
to march to Washington, take possession
of the public archives, and prevent the in.
aguration of a Republican President--that
the choice of the people—Democrats
thought not of treason but said he would
do right. Blind partizanship prevented
an expression of manly feeling, and a bold
condemnation by the Democrats of any
one and ell these outrages ; and when Oa
sawattomie Brown, upon whom untold.
wrong was afflicted, made an in sane ef
fort to abolish slavery, Democrats expected
every voice to be raised in his defence;
but the Repub titan party is differently con
stituted. No blind partizan devotion pro
hibits a condemnation of wrong whatever
may be the provocation or its character.—
The difference in this—Democrats defe td
Democrats only, Republicans defend truth
end justice; Democrats condemn only
those opposed to their party; Republicans
modem wrong where ever it may be
found. The one is a party of slaves cring
ing to slavery ; the other a party devoted
to freedom and acting like freemen;
Execution of Thornton at St. Louis
Joseph W. Thornton, who expiated,
yesterday, the act of killing Joseph Char
less, was born on the 12th of August, 1821
in New York city. Ills pa rents were of
Irish birth. There were nine children,
only three of whom—John, Ann (not mar
ried,) and Eliza (married to a gentleman
named Clark).--are now living. The first
named resides in this city. 'the sisters
are in New York. Joseph was younger
than any of these three.
Yesterday being the day of the convict's
execution, he arose from his couch early,
and at once began his preparations to meet
the fate that awaited him. Ile seemee

the previous evening, and announced that
he had given up every vestuge of his de

anything had been heard from the Gov
ernor, e. n d inhe he was told that a despatch
had been received from Jefferson city, sta
ting that no executive interference with
the sentence need he expected, he mani
fested no astontahment, disappointment or
grief. He had been muck comforted and
sustained by a letter from one of his sisters
in New York, the perusal of which ap
peared to afford hi m infinite satisfaction
and delight. The prisoner was not inter

we have named also eseended to the plat

Thornton was Bested, he spoke a few
words with a cheerful expression of coan
tenance to Father Feehan, and then cast
a cold and rather restless lot k at the crowd

on in his bosom. Thornton had previous

any morbid curiosity of the crowd by ma
king any speech to them and had expressed
a desire that the execution should be made
'as brief as possible. In accordance with
this wish there were no rites iterformed
on the gallows, such as prayer or song,
but almost itnniediately after the Marshals
had nsended, Thornton arose to his Met,

During the reading Thornton stood erect
with his hands in his side coat pocket,
rocking gently to and fro on his feet, At
the conclusion, he was placed on a email

I without the movement of a mus-

put over his head and face, his arias pin

and the hangman's loop adjusted about
about his neck. During this time the
priests sere engaged in silent prayer. At
three oclock and fourteen minutes the
spring w is touched, the door fell heavily
against the posts supporting the scaffold,
and Thornton decended five feet with a
plunge that broke his neck. For nearly
three minutes his body underwent convul
sions and contortions horrible to look upon,
in which one of his hands clutched the
platform, by which he seemed to raise
himself up for a moment and then drop.—

After the lapse of fifteen minutes, he was
taken down and placed in a .netalic coffin
which had been provided. Drs. Philips.

Reported Destruction of Brour3-

The Town Burned, and the Citizens
Massacred.
Washington, Nov.lB—The War De
partment has received a despatch from
Gen. Twiggs, dated San Antonio, Nov. LI,
stating that an express had jnot arrived
front Rio Granda city. stating that Catlin
us had laid hrownsville in asi , es, killing
bOlllO hundred American citizens. Also
that Cortinas, with eight hundred men
was marching towards the Neuces.
Full credence is not given to the report.
The Alarm at Charlesto n
,Nother Incendiary Fire—The Expected
Attack vol made.
Harper's Ferry, .Icov. 18—The roes•
senger sent to Charleston last night was
detained outside of this town over two
hours and a half before the guard would
premit his departure, and he was also
de
tamed tilt 4 o'clock on his return.
A very large fire occurred during the
night, abrut four miles front Charlestown,
and the military were ordered out, expec•
ting an attack, but none was made.
The particulars of the fire could not be
ascertained,by the messenger, but they
will probably be ascertained on the arrival
here of the train from Winchester.
Richmond, Nov. 18—Six companies
of military are under arms ready to mart
for Charlestown at a moment's warning.
None having left yet.
Washington, Nos. 18—A company
comprising 87 infantry and riflemen left
Alexandria for Charlestown by the early
train, via the Relay House.
Capt. Duffey's company of 60 men
and four guns went by a separate tratn on
the Manassas road, via Strausburg. From
thence they are to march 18 miles to
Winchester.
Washington, November, 18—Th.
government to•day ordered 2001 lbs. o
powder, a large number of Minix bath
and howitzer shells, from the Wa eitingtoo
arsenal to Harper'. Ferry.
TUE CAUSE OF TEE LAST EXCITEMENT
—Harper's Ferry Nov.lB—The excite.
went last night was caused by the burn
ing of a wheat stack about three miles
from Charlestown. The military and the
whole populace were called to arms, and
the wildest terror prevailed among the
people, with the supposition that Col.
Davis had some informatoin of an approach
mg danger.
The panics among the people extended
to the Color.el, and a messenger was sent
by him to Harper's Ferry with:a despatch
to the Governor, calling for two conipa:
pies of cavalry.
This mo Oting the fire was found to be
the work of an unknown incendiary, but
no person could be found in the country
on whom suspicion could rest.
There are now a thousand men under
arms, and no enemy to be found to en.
ceenter.
The troops from Alexandria strived
at Charlestown this afternoon, and those
by the way of Winchester are expected
to morrow morning.
The Baltimore and Ohio Roilrond Coin
pony have sent Colonel Suutt with nil
armed poise to Harper's Ferry, to guard
t he bridge and property of the Company
at that point.
There is much dissatisfaction both here
and at Charlestown at the precipitate as
t ton Colonel Davis, in sending dispnches
for troops, instead of first sending nut a
posse to inquire into the cause of the fire.
The people think they have been made
to appear in a ridiculous light before the
country, and they are more than half right
on that point.
Gov. Whe Guilty of Treason,
Governor Wise, it will be recolected, on
one occasion, in a speeoh before the last
Presidential election, recommended that
in case of Fremont's success, the South
should seize on the arsenal at Harper's
Ferry, raise an army, and march to Wash.
ington, take possession of the city, and
dissolve the Union. Capt. Brown, it will
be noticed,has only attempted to carry out
this programme marked out by Governor
Wise. Asa marked evidence, howl ver,
of the dominance of slavery, Gov. Wise,
who proposed high treason in favor of sla-
very, is to be rewarded with the Presiden
cy, while old Captain Brown, who attempt
ed it in favor of freedom,will probably be
hung.

GEORGE BERONER Dear Sir
The cowman ity of lieedeville, five miles
north of this place, has been thrown into a
panic by the trequent fires they have had
during several nights this week. The
first occurred on Tuesday night, by the
burning of a large born belonging to Reed,
e arly in the evening, which was filled with
valuable grain, stock Esc. As the fire had
subsided most of the people then went to
their homes, when another fire was seen in
a barn not more than sixty yards from the
I first, which was also consumed, defying
ail human efiorts to stop the devouring ele
ments. This wits also filled with valuable
products. Ott Wednesday night, notwith
standing the vig;l , nce of the fanners

another bum, a shirt distance. from the lat.

quantity el' grsin stock 3.c. The los: in
these was not less thin ten thonsand dol.

On Thursday night, a large, well organi

when they thought all danger would be
past for the night; but they had scarcely
returned when the alarm of foe again
aroused the frighted people. by the burn
