I shall leave the old beaten track to politicians end Ren!imentnikts, and cut my path right through the woods. Yon have heard of the rut direct of Mr. Van Buren, and the coro nation'ot Mr. Clay. I leave these, and manner of things, To low ambition and the pride of Kings," white I give you ,a sketch containing per haps more of rhyme than reason ; certainly more truth than poetry. _ . I met four classes of visitors at the Spring. I will glance nt each. First, the rear invalids, who fly to,Sura. 'toga in the vain pursuit of health. If they would chase their shadows thither, on foot, they might grow baler. This class may be known by their gloomy airs and cadaver ous cheeks.: Every morning, at sunrise, as regular rui though their salvation 'depended upon it, they march. with solemn gait to '•Congress Springs;" and swallow ten tum blers of water. At 0 o'clock, they inspect their tongues before a looking glass, and shake their heads dubiously. At 10, feel thinr .pUlse, and note down the number of throb s ? per 'Minute, in a diary. At 12. six tuniblars Of water from - the 'lodine Spring." From 1 464 nap it. 'Aroused by the pre• paration brill, they gird themselves, and bush to the dining hall, assaulting roast pig, boiled bass, lobster, water melon, and ice cream, with a fury known only. to the dys peptic. Then 101 l ono hour on the sofa.— Ilead-ache and heart burn till 5. Fainting at 0, with camphor and hartshorn, and cite flog of the temples.. Two tumblers of"ton ic water." At 7 five cups of-green tea rath er. strong, if you please." Cramps and sighs till ten. Then four tumblers of "Con gress," and hie to bed.! Their nerves dance a hornpipe till 1. Then doze and dream of Mazzeppa, and wake with the night mare. Groan till daylight, and now for the spring and ten tumblers. .Tlns is their bill of tare. The second class is the ashionablee— those,mho go to Saratoga to kill time, -and make is white in the water—the beaux 41 3 chow their mustaches and gallaphy—.and the belles, their pretty forats, red cheeks and glossy leeks—and to whirl around •in this great Maelstroorn of beauty and booty, wit and folly. In the evening you'll see them spinning like a painted top in the gid dy waltz at Congress Hall, or floating like golder,fislies down the stream of gaiety and Bash at the brilliant saloon of the United States. The elderly ladies, arrayed in proud attire,*preside over the gala, while the youn ger tak sentimentally of Lake George and Lord Byron, Maryatt and millenery. 0411 is motion—rings and plumes and pearls, • ;Are shinihg every where; some younger girls Are gone by moonlight to the garden bells, To gather fresh cool chaplets for their heads." "What lady is that I?onder,"(said a New England friend to me,who had just arrived,) su9h a noble countenance, and an air that wotild dignify a Queen 1" “The widow of Do Witt, Clinton." vlndeal And that's the lady that turn ed her heel on Van BurepV "Yes. He shuffled and she cut." “Well —She was• right." • "That's a debateable question." "Yes--I know—you're more than half a Loco :.Fuco." "Only in the abstract." .. . ' , What tall gentleman is that, so majestic in mein,•and who converses so gracefully with that bevy of beauty around him!" "Genoral Scott." - ' ''. . • • . "General Seott'l Gallant fellow ! Why don't the 'Whigs nominate hiin for Prosi dent I lie is the most poptgar man in the nation." "They hav'nt tact nor courage for it. Be. sides, they owe a debt to Clay, and this is their last opportunity of discharging it." "Well—if they 'pay hire ofr with Harris burg nominations, he'll find.hinaself a bank rupt in 1F40." "No doubt ofit." Rely upon it,many of Webster's friends in New England, feel very cool towards Clay, and will put on his harness with great reluctance. And the whole party will feel) 'that they are fighting a hopeless battle, but Scott! by Mars! who would • not fight to the hilt under Mei{ a leader? Could he ear ly New York? "Yes—by 45,000 ; whereas Clay would lose it by 10,000. • But our dialogue was broken off by the entrance of the countess of Westmoreland, leaning on the UM of the President. He is all adulation—bowing, and simpering, and smirking, as when he passed old Tammany on the day of the grand entree. As the crowd rushed upon them. said my friend: "These republicans aro all on tiptoe ie see a live Countess. And Van Buren plays the courtier admirably foi a leVeller." "Bless my star a:Mid nit ariefent dame fibtn the East, whaseWlut 'rime marked her for an invalid, "What. a pesky thing that . ere fe., maleCotiaties . ,has got on her head'. Did you ever see the like on't I" The third clasii of visitors—great:favor ites with the bar kespers , -I will designate, as "the burst& s." They are keen - blades from the cities,who come cut here not mere ly to kill time but themselves also. They may be known by their. long hair and short frocks, little canes and big whiskers, white hats and dare-devil air. • They rise at half past nine, and take a glass of Cogniac to clear away the remaining fogs of the last' night's storm., They rid themselves of the forenoon by smoking and lounging. As the dinner hour approaches, they gird them selves for the onslaught. Seated at table, they summon every energy for the mortal .struggle, and set their life upon the cast.— The waiters leap—the corks fly—the dish es rattle-7-ond the viands rapidly disappear •before them. cloth bein 6 removed," thoy.eing snags. tell stories,smash tumblers, curse the servants, and shiver the bottles. Two hours passed, they reel from the hall, light their segars, tumble into a carriage, mai surientlor themselves up to Jebu, who ghillies thou through the streets, at a break meek pace. At 0. four bottles of wino.— Supper at O. M 10, mint julans, a et roll breugh the streets, and a quarrel trial a a loafer. At .12, Cards and ,caek taiLs till 1. Then, "Jim Crow," - with Variations, filling the hall with the din. . At 8, .they stumble up to bed, and dream of chainpaigne and purgatory, and wake at 9, their cheeks flushed with a fever and their heads snap ping with pain. This ie their bill of fare. Tho fourth class is the politicians—the brol.•crs in partizan stock, who can't trust the people to transact thetri?wn business in their own way,but kindly volimteer to "man. age" for them. Thin year there is a large supply, "in lots to suit purchasers." AD: UNI'ARDONAIILE SIN.-Our readors have been lion) time to tithe informed of at tempts, sometimes successful, to intercept the trains on railroads by placing obstruc ages on the track; wo find the following in an exchange paper. "A Villainous Attempt.—The locomo tive attached to the night train of cars was thrown off the track of the Columbia rail road on Friday evening last, near Oakland, by a beam that bad been thrown across the rails, and fastened to keep it down, to en• sure the destruction of the passengers and cars. Happily, no harm was done, except to the locomotive, and a slight injury to one of the engineers. The superintendent, Mr. Cameron, intends offering a reward for the detection of the villain who placed it,there.' , Natural feelings' of liiimanity will some• times prompt one to question the propriety of capital punishment; which, if it can be justified, should, we have 'often thought, be confined to wilful murder and incontestible stupratian. But the improvements of the ago in the mode of travel have given exist• ence to a crime, hitherto unknown, and the motives for the commission of which, are of all others the most inexplicable. It is a crime for which there is •no name, but that described above. It makes mani fest a depravity, which we could scarcely credit existed in the hucdttn heart among a civilized people, and the actor in such a deed would be a prodigy of nt----, 4 tY that nature could not beliP•—• murder grows into virtue- the filthy lecher is half re when parallelled with this, and, yet' we doubt if the law has providad.a punish. went adequate to the enormity of the crime. if death by the rope is at any time expedi ent, it should await the perpetrator of such a deed, and if aught could justify the barba. ism of torture it is this. We hope the miscreant spoken of in the above named at tempt may be discovered and brought to justice; for we are curious to know what dark passion could have instigated a man to such a hellish act. We cut the above from the Post, of Sat urday afternoon, and heartily agree iv:th the writer in all he says or can say in re ference to the punishment due to the cold blooded scoundrel tvho would thus jeopard the lives of perhaps a hundred passengers. We can conceive of no mode of punishment recognized among civilized nations which would be too severe. But we have another object in view in copying the above from the Post. Att rocious as was the act of this unknown individual, who in the language of the Post, hes committed the "uripindonable sin," yet it bears scarcely a comparison in the scale of guilt with a design avowed by an animated mass of flesh, built up in .the likeness of man, who occupied a seat in the last house of representatives of Pennsylva nia, we mean THOMAS B. McELwEE, from Bedford county-a loco foco of the first water. In the published report of the com mittee of the Pennsylvania Legislature, who were appointed to enquire into the causes of the disturbanc: - . , s at Harrisburg last winter, we find in the testimony of A. J. Pleason ton that in a conversation he held wtth Mr. McElwee, that worthy avowed that it hod been agreed by himself and two or three ethers to preient the Philadelphia troops from reaching Harririburg at all hazards, and in order to do this it was determined to take up a part of the rails of the rail-road, and form a mine under the exposed part, filled with guupowder, and when the confu sion consequent upon the cars running off, took place, then to spring the mine and blow the whole body into the air together. The design was not carried out, although it had progressed so far as the purchase of three barrels of powder. Col. Pleasonton, who gives this testimony. is a man,cf unblem ished character, and Mr. McElwee acknow. ledges ho held the conversation, and does not deny it in any of its particulars. Now how much virtuous indignation has the Post to expend .upon this precious specimen . of democratic loco-tocoism ? This statement in reference to Mr. McElwee has been very generally published, yet the Post has never seen dove are bound to presume, - else would it "coi,sume with burning words" the un mitigated villain who could in his heart conceive so horrible a design. Mr. Mc- Elwee is a loco , foco—there is the secret. He is a -candidate for reelection te' the house of representatives, and it will not do for an organ of the party to say aught against him. If they cannot praise him, his sins must be passed over in silence.— Truly circumstances alter cases. Balt. Chron. Joseph Ritner on Ms Farm. The travelling correspondent of the N. York AMerican, in a letter from Chambers• burg in this state, gives the following ac count of a visit to Joseph Rimer, the Ex• Governor. Stopping a part of a day at Carlisle, a friend proposed a visit to Ex-Governor Rit nor, wno resides in the vicinity. We took a carriage and were soon on our way.— Governor Ritner lives on a large farm at Mount Rock, about a mile from the main road, in a plain two story brick !mute, quite sequestered among, the woods. On our ar rival he was not within, and a lad was des patched for him. After the lapse of nearly half an hour, he .entered, without either coat or vest on, covered with the sweat and dust of the harvest field: his hands and face bronzed by the summer sun. 'Well, gen tlemen,' said he, 'you have found me in my farming dress. But I always love to be in the field among the crops.' fhis did not surprise us, when we remembered a few yearaiigo he cracked his whip and whistled to his six horse team as briskly as any other Pennsylvania wagoner, while transporting goods over the Alleghanys from Philadel phia to Pittsburg. In those days, dressed M his tow frock and slouched hat; no whip could drive more miles from sun to sun, or drag a heavier load over Laurel Ridge or Cove Mountain than 'Jo Ritner.' Would that more of our statesmen had been trained up wagoners. Some, no doubt would have lived and died in tho ruts—to the great glo ry of their country. He retired a few mo ments, and having arraigned his dress, re• turned, when we entered into an animated conversation about Mr. Van Buren, the Currency, General Scott and the Border Difficulties, Mr. Clay and Abolition, Gen. Harrison and Antimasonry, We were pleased with the high intelligence ho ex hibited on all these topics, and with his straight forward manner of expression, and the strong and oppropriate language it which he clothed his ideas. I had frequent ly seen him represented in the public papers us a stupid old German—the mere tool of Thaddeus Stevens and Thomas H. Bur rowes. But we !bend him possessed of an un commonly clear and vigorous mind,-stored with. practical knowledge, and thoroughly versed in - all the topics which agitate the cOuntrY. Lie thinks for - himself; and as to his being a tool in the hands of others, his German independence is almost equal to Knickerbocker obstinacy. He examines questions carefully, and when persuaded of the right, ho moves straight onward in the lino of duty, neither stopping to parley nor stopping to compromise.—Flattery cannot lure him nor threats . drive him from his purpose ; but on he goes, whether flowers or thorns strew the pathway ; whether cheered forward by the shouts oflln ap proving populace, or beaten back by-the re. buff of an opposing public oPinfon. Gov. Ritner's conver....tutial powers are above .d,'.-..7ry. When roused by excitement, as ha Was once or twice during our inter view, his fine full oyo kindles, and his strong Ger man accent gives an edge to his sen tences which, send them home to the heart. When he spoke of the malignant attacks upon him during theennvass last fah, be cause in his first message, he very properly rebuked 'the base bowing of tho knee to the dark spirit of slavery,' which then per vaded the free states, he rose from his seat, and his whole soul breaking out throng)) his noble countenance, he said in substance, slowly lifting his arm, 'lf the Opposition party thought to drive me from the avowal of my honest sentiments, on that important subject, and to compel me to abandon the good old Pennsylvania doctrine of 1780, and lower the standard-which Franklin, and Rush, and Wilson and - Wislar, and Rawle erected, they found for once that they had mistaken their man !' This was evidently a fender point in his political history. Af ter'declining a pressing invitation to dine, in order to take cars for the west, were. turned to Carlisle, cherishing the hope that the people would recal this patriotic Cin cinnatus from his plough to rescue his na tive state from the miarule which cripple's its energies, and offers it nn unnatural sac. rifice on the altar of 'the Northern man with Southern principles.' INTERNATIONAL COURTESE.-Tt will be recollected that the United States Explor ing squadron, whilst at Cape Horn, met with very boisterous weather, and some of thti vessels snared damage. The store ship Relief, it is understood, lost all her an chors at that time. She arrived at Valpa raise in April last, and was of course obli ged to lay off and on, having lost all her an chors. Her Britannic Majesty's corvette Fly was lying in the harbour at the time, dr the condition of the Relief was iaferredfrom her movements. The commander immedi ately despatched his boats, with an anchor and cab/c,for the relief, which were bent on, and the store ship came to anchor. • The Relief was at Callao on the LFth of. May, and she then had the anchor and ca ble of the English corvotte. Such expres• sions of international courtesy aiway merit a distinguished notice..—Globe. ADVERTISEMENTS. PROCLAMATION.

Editor of tho York; 'Vella'kali hog been remioutsil ug the Arai-Van Boren unolithite fur *water, for the Yolk anti• I.aitca:trr Lamentable Occurrence. Mos. Bormitax, wife of Mr. George Bushman, of Cumberland township,.on Thursday last left her dwelling in a one horse waggon to go to a neighbors, taking with her one or two of her chil dren. From some cause unknown, the horsy be came frightened, ran offwith the waggon, threw . her out, and so seriously injured her, as to cause her death on the Following day. The Loan. A report is in circulation that tho U. S. Bank has taken the loan of $2,051,000 authorized by the Legislature at an interest of five per cent ; with the privilege °filming $5 notes. Whether the above bo correct or not we aro unable to say. Professional .71oflesfy. At the late trial of David R. Porter, at Hunt ingdon, in which the jury found him guilty of robbing Mrs. Somerville, purloining the record of Sie own insolvency, keeping race horses to run liooty races, and being a common loafer, George W. Barton, and ;Wm. Potter, Ens. were his counsel. Barton - Is a conceited, fluent declaimer, wh ire Sephomorail fustian is of the largest and most glossy kind. Potter is an industriota, pains taking, well read lawyer of considerable talents, about fifteen years Mr. Barton's senior; be needs nothing to make him a respectable man and law yer, but a little more reverence for truth. Ho is now ,tnember of .Congress. , When Mr. Barton rose, as junior counsel, to sum up the evidence to the ,jury, after reminding them of the groat lino-. perform) of the cause, as by acquitting the defen dant,(Mr. Campbell,) they would convict the Governor of Pennsylvania of heinous crimes, he proceeded as follows: .alut, gentlemen, I will not 'attempt to detail all 'the evidence of the town, I will take off the cream, and leave my colleague, Mr. Potter, to lade out the skim milk, to you !" The and General. The moat shameful scenes of corruption aro en acted by the presentadministration that ever dis graced a civilized country. In order to carry out his oppression and wicked designs, Porter very properly selected Dr. Espy as Auditor General; a man whose face is as red and heart as corrupt as his motives. Ho has been Cngaged for the last few weeks in pimping along the Canal, in Hun tingdon County to -find straw witnesses to swear against the titonebrakers and other agents of the late administration. Of course ho has found crea tures to swear any thing he desires, we suppose, although, we have not hoard what his budget con tains, as ho refused to allow those whose conduct he was investigating to call witnesses to prove,the fairness of their conduct. Stonebrakers were at ull hazards to be traduced, as they are important witnesses against Porter4n the Lehigh suit. This Espy, is the same man who was treasurer of Vs nango county, and whose official conduct there, was so fully exposed by the affr3 wits of honest men ! ! Xew Trial. It will be recollected that instead of prosecuting the Editor of the Ilunttngglon Journal, who first made the ,charge, D. R. Porter, by grace of the mob, Governor of Ponnsylvania,.went down to Lehigh county, where ho was not known, and prosecuted .111 r.. Sage, Editor of the Lehigh Jour nali for inserthWiut extract charging him with being a fraudulent iniolvent. Mr. Sago did not go to the expense to prepare, as Porter had let the court go over without appearing to prosecute, and ho supposed It would be abandoned. But Porter suddenly appeared at Court with a troop of lackeys and affidavit-men, and convicted Sage, who was quito unprepared. A shout of, exultation was -raised all over the state by the minions in power. But Porter's convictien at home (Huntingdon) changed their tune; and the Lehigli:court has granted Mr. Sage a new trial, in whkeik Porter's honesty will bo a little more full invostigated.

"The Compiler"—Jteries. In the last "Compiler," there is a 'nest infa mous and wicked insinuation against the County Commissioners ; the idea having been borrowed by the pettifogger who conducts it from the eeKey stone," or its offspring the '•lron Gray." This stupid and mendacious scribbler asserts, that utile political complexion of our juries of late years, when party excitement has been at its greatest height, cannot fail to manifest itself to all w:ln have been in manner connected with our judicial procoeaings." He then further asserts that ethc proportion of democrats has bean for the last ten years, of about 6 out of the 24 Grand Jurors, and 10 or 12 out of the 48 Traverse Jurors.: Tho proportion of Democrats wo 'aelieve, will rather fall below than rise above the numbers." Wo wore prepared to expect at the hands of those who control the "Compiler," much-that was knavish; but• we must confess wo had not anticipated such reckless and wicked villainy as is manifested in this attack upon the commission 'Cis, and Om attempt to introdnrat parry spirikkok our courts of justice. , The assertion of the "Vow piler" as regards the disproportion of Jurors, is utterly false, as will be discovered by referring to the panels of Jurors; draWn for the last several years, We had not thought of this subject until reference was made to it by the "Compiler;' but after having examined, we find that instead of a small proportion of loco foco jurors appearing upon the panels, drawn for the last three years, there is a very large and undue proportion of that political faith; a 'much greater proportion than would have appeared if the Commissioners and Sheriff had strictly complied with the act of assembly; and selected only "sober, intelligont and judicious jurors, to servo us jurors." But we pro sumo the unduly large proportion of such jurors appearing upon the panels, is to be accounted fur by the fact, that the Sheriff is a violent politician, and made use of his privilege to fill up the wheel with those of his own creed, without regard to' their being "sober, intelligent and judicious pen sons," as the law requires they should be. That the sheriff would be capable of doing this, has been proved in another case. We would not have adverted to the largo and undue proportion of loco feces, who have been drawn on our juries, if reference had not been made to the subject, and false statements published concerning it by the "Compiler."' But in order_ that the Conamishioners, who were honest men and unsuspicious of foul play, may be on their guard hereafter, and not suffer the provisions of the law to bo abused, by it person who disregards them, we have deemed it right to make this e xpo. siti o n,—,A u d by woy of tllust au tt eve will g,o , . . farther, and show that a more, undue proportion or loco foco jurors is not all that is to be corn. plaincil of; but that Into foco politics WERE CARRIED INTO THE JURY BOX and ap plied to a cause tohich the jury had SWORN "to try according to the law and the evidence I.' In a certain cause tried or attempted to be tried, of the last term of our Court, a single loco foco juror, held out against eleven 'Jones' omen, and crowed as bus reason for so doing, that he was a loco loco It cannot ho said that it was in the conscientious dischargei of his duty that he stood out; ho took care to Show that it was not con science that he regarded, for he offered to give the plaintiff a verdict for the amount of the debt, if he would pay his own costs ! 1 This juror swore "to try the cause according to the law and the cal doors; and by law, if the plaintiff was entitled to recover Me debt, he was likewise entitled to recov., cr the costs; but this loco Coco disregardful the law ' although he hail sworn to ho governed by It, when ho went into the jury box ! lie refused ' to agree to .ta verdict, because the thi em l an t was o loco focf:;',and the Court was obliged todischarge the jury without having, agreed upon a verdict, this soma man having taken sick after having held out twenty four hours. Thus the people will ace hots much truth and justice there is in the statement of thu "Compi ler" on this subject. But after all it is not a mat ter of much surprise ; the same, party who collec ted a mob and drove the Logislatuo from the Cap , Rol, Would i not hesitate to pollute Courts of jus , tico by introducing them party . politics.— Such things as these, should awaken honest mon of all parties to tho danger that must result from the triumph of thu I rinciples of such a party.

MUSIC'. Most of the citizens of Gettysburg must have noticed, within the last two years, a great fulling off in the musical enterprise of unr young men.-- The reason of it is to be found in the fact that those engitged in it aro most liable to change of situation of any part of our population. If we look round for them now, we find that many have left us, to seek their bawl° elsewhere ; others have grown up beside their parents, and left their 'native place fur others which offer greater induce ments to success. It is to ho regretted. that the taste fur music should have departed with them, and that the science should languish for want of the requiste spirit to sustain it. The influence of music is now admitted to be much greater than was forinerly Eiupposed:ln itsclrthera can 'he no more innocent atuusement, and none perhaps more capable of yielding more real delight. Music hue also n tendency to refine and elevate the taste, and give a dislike fur low and degrading pursuits. That music has this effect is now o common matter of experience, particularly' in large cities. In some sections it is introduced into the schools as a b7anch 'ofcommon school education. We should be glad to see our young people move in this matter, and revive the musical Par ties which were formerly so numerous in our town. We still have materials for an effective band, which only wants training and exercise to make fins music. The following were the pass words and coun ter signs of the Connaught-men, used in the late riot and disturbance on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.

Wo give place to the following communications without being at all accountable fur iny thing con tained therein. MR. EDITOR :—From a conic unicatibn in the loco foco organ of this County, 'of the 10th inst. it appears that tho selection of a competent and suitable person for the office of county Commissioner is deemed of paramount importance. Now we must con fess that we do most hearttly acquiesce in the opinion entertained by the author of the communicatico so far as regards the neces sity of making a judicious selection; but judging from certuin comments upon the .qualifications of the individuals selected by the loco locos for the several county offices, we are somewhat inclined to doubt the truth of a portion of the remarks in reference to their Candidate for commissioner. It is said that lie ie a Man of intelligence, integ rity and honesty. Nut having the pleasete of a thorough personal acquaintance with this intelligent gentlemin, we are ofcourso in a great measure obliged to rely upon in formation. The only evidences aim bon ed intelligence that hare ever reached us, aro; that , ho carries constantly nbont his person a particular bone of n Mack chicken to protect turn from the pernicious influence of evil spirits, or as a preventative of a cer tain disease. As to his honesty. I have never heard it it called in question; any ono desirous of information upon that subject is respectful ly referred to those little boys with whom ho has heretofore dealt in watches and oth oN notions. As to what his political principles are at this time, I am ate loss to determineoinless tie bo a '.Chickenhonapartist" being the on ly intelligent man ever presented to the peo ple of Adams for their support with a chick en bone in his pocket. NO _CHICKEN BONA FAR'FIST. P. S. Since writing the above, we under stand there has been great fluttering and consternation in the crunp of •tho terms, in consequence the cam* or abduction of tho bone from the pocket of their candidate. The loss is the More severe owing to the circumstance of there being but one black chicken in the vicinity and that one busily engaged in hatching. Any person in the county having la black chicken (recollect black it must be) would no doubt be liberal ly rewarded for it by the disconsolate can. didate, and if elected (which of course he will feeY , find his name among the list of ju rors for the 'November Court.

GOV. PORTER AND HIS HUNTING DON COUNTY SUIT. the mob of last Deceinber mode this minable individual the Chief Magistrate of , 4fie . Commonwealth, we have refrained saying what his _previous character and his 'subsequent - conduct would have fully justi fied-us in tieing. We ha'e done so because we had no disposition to trumpet forth the I disgrace of Pennsylvania, brought upon her no less by the character of the man himself, than by the circumstances which forced . him upon the people in spite of their wishes. We-have been, and. are now, willing to make the-most : of it. But we consider it no part of outtinty - ta-smootho•over,..or comsat-the dishonest deeds of orie high in authority, even though that man be the Governor of a great State. Our readers aro probably aware, that dur ing the. contest last fall a suit was instituted against Porter for the recovery of a due bill in favor of Evan Crain for labor. The case was arbitrated, as we learn from the Hunt., ingdon Journal, and the decision - seemed partially to establish Porter's honesty, as the arbitrators declared there was no cause of .action. Subsequently, however, the books and papers connected with this affair wore discovered, which conclusiVolfshowed that the debt was fairly due . to Crain, or his Administrators. • An appeal was Consequent- ly made from the decision of the arbitratbre, and the case come up for trial at the last term in Huntingdon county. And when the creditor had fairly established 'the justice of his claim, how does the honest laborer, the industrious mechanic, or the enterprising and fair.dealing farmer of Pennsylvania, imagine that. David R. Porter, the Governor of the Keystone State, got rid of paying a debt to a day 'laborer who had sweated and toiled for months for him? Will they credit the fact that a Governor, worth 840,. 000, and -receiving a salary of 84,000 per annum, would . Plead the STATUTE OF LI M I TATION S to avoid pay ing an honest debt-of WO to a man who is really Pool? T,nis David R. Porter did in. open Court, When every other plea had failed 'him.— Before the referees; when he supposed the papers lost,-and there was no hope of the plaintiff establishing his claim, he declared he never would plead - the statute, says the Journal.. He was then quite 'trilling that' the trial should proceed, and to abide by the result , • Weislan allSertousneis, e'very cQnilid man, nnd'without partyhths, if they would not pronounce that• man a villain who would discharge a debt due them, honestly and fairly contracted, by pleading that it had been due too long, that the law does not compel him to pay it, and therefore he will not.? Every man in Pennsylvania who had beet, defrauded of his jest claims by such a plea, would declare the person who resorted to it a rogue of the vilest character:. Is he any less so because. he happens to be a Governor?-Penn. Courant. YDVE NI AL ItrlGl!iiT333 It. azAR MED. 'On the 10th inst. by the Rev. J. M. Jones,.Mr. Joshua Sadler; to Miss Harriet .
