Borough Election.
117 - The election for Borough offices on Tuesday
last passed off with unusual quietness—the "Demo.
cracy" making no show of opposition. The vote
was, of course, very small, and stood as follows :
BURGESS,
Daniel M. Smyser,

C. W. Hoffman,
Wm. King,
John Winebrenner,
Geo. W. hi'Clellan,

Common Schools.
Erin pursuance of the usual notice the citizens
of thellorough assembled in town meeting at the
Court house on Tuesday evening last, to deter
mine the amount of tax to be levied for school pur
poses during the coming• year, and organized by
calling A. B. Kunrz to the chair, and appointing
Jens H. BEIGHLY, Secretary, A statement of the
condition of the School fund and iheamountof
expenditures during the past year having been
laid before the meeting by the Secretary of the
late Board of Directors, on motion of H. J. Schrein
er: Esq., it was . unanimously Resolved that the
Board of School Directors ,be authorized to lay a
tax of Five Hundred Dollars additional.to the
amount which the law empowers the Board to
levy, making in all twelve hundred dollars. This,
with the - fund received from the State appropria.
tion, Will keep open all the Borough schools du
ring the entire year. The promptness and una
nimity with which the additional tax was voted,
indicates the growing popularity of the Common
School system among our citizens.
U? - The Antimasonic and Whig County Com
mittee for Allegheny, have called a County Con
vention to meet on the 3d of June to nominate

friends in Allegheny are determined to be prepa
red for the contest in good time.
A Treatise on Dlileit Cows.
' 113 We have received dcopy of this work from
the publishers, and cheerfully commend it to the
attention of our Farmers and others who have to
deal with mulch cows. The treatise lays down
certain indications by which the quality and quan
tity of milk which any cow will give, may be accu
rately ascertained, the length of time she will con
tinue to give milk, &c. See advertisement in a
subsequent column.
The Bight of Way.
ErNotwithstanding the reputed sharpness o
the Philadelphia LaWyers, the Right of Way men
have "pnlled the wool over their eyes" most suc
cessfully. It' seems that while the attention of
all was directed to the grand contest upon the
"Right of Wayßill," a few of the friends of the
measure managed to have a clause attached to
some Act in regard to the "Poor of Erie County,"
reviving a former Act of Assembly incorporating
the Pittsburg and Connelsville Railroad Company,
with ,a uthority to construct a Rail-road from Pitts
bUrg to the . Maryland 'Lino by the route of the
Youghiogheny livery. The Bill , with this clause
atinched, passed both houses without exciting 'any
attention, and having received the signature of the
Governor, is of course a law. The first notice
of the trick received by the Philadelphians.was
in the Shape of 'the published card of the Com
missioners under _the act anhouncing that books
feir the subscription, of stock in said Company
would be opened in Pittshurg, West Newton, and
Connelsville on the 25th inst. I . The route author- .
ited by the Act is in,the direct line towards Cum
bei
rland,'ind'secures , all that was_proposed to be
accomplished by the "Right of Way Bill," without
any of the "onerous restrictions of the latter. The
Pittsburg men seem quite, delighted with the idea
of having "come it" so successfully tiver their
Philadelphia rivals, and the latter as much cha
grined at the idea of having been caught napping.
Virginia ElectiOn.

up the 'result of the election, as far as ascertained:
"One hundred and 'twentysix members elected,
68 Democrats and 58 Whigs -8 counties to hear

117 Influenced rearmiss arising ont of the pe 7 ,
culiar lonation of.thiaPreas with reference lo one
of the prominent itatiivirluals named in - ionnection
with.thehext Whig candidate for Governor of this
State, we have hitherto generally refrained from
' any remarks that we mignt have been - disposed to
make "upon the Gubernatorial question, content
with occasionally referring to movements upon
the subject elsewhere, and transferring to our col
nnins a few of the numerous complimentary no
tices of our distingtiished . and deservedly esteem- ;
ed fellow.citizen. Similar reasons, as well as
considerations of proper 8611:respect, have pre
vented any notice of the illiberal and exceptionable
remarks that, from time to time, have eminated
from sundry quarters, in which ungenerous insin
uations of selfish and unworthy motives were freely
imputed to all such as have. hesitated to shape
their preferences ard views.of policy conformably
to the teachings of certain political schools. • Firm
ly convinced of the propriety of an early, frank
and full development. of the preferences of the
masses that constitute the strength and hope of
our party, we have on more than one occasion
urged a direction of attention to suitable candi
' dates for the Presidential and Gubernatorial offices,
and frankly expressed our preferences as to the t.
It need scarcely be remarked that our confi de
in the correctness of this policy has been in no'
way shaken by the. fact that our motives have
been misunderstood or even willfulljmisr‘prereat•
ed. Conscious of the purity of those motives, as
having in view the sole advancement and final
triumph of Whig principles, and scorning as we
should to attribute views less disinterested to those
whose preferences lir ideas of expediency may
differ from our own, the ungenerous insinuations
to which we have alluded can excite no other feel
ing than that of supreme contempt, mingled pos
sibly with occasional regrets at meeting with the
imputations from sources" whence better things
had been esrpected. But we have said more upon
this matt‘r than was intended—more, possibly,
than we shall say again—more, certainly, than it
deserved
Our object in commencing this paragraph was
.0 notice the excellent - tone of X' sensible article
under the caption of the "Next Governor," in the
last I.ll;ntingdon Journal. The editor is a friend
of Gen. Invrxs, and warmly urges the propriety
of his nomination as the next Whig candidate for
the office of Governor. Yet' he deprecates' any
"bickering and - heart-burnings between the friends
of different candidates," and cheerfully accords the
same devotion to principles to the other. gentle
men named that he claims for his own favorite.—
This is the right spirit—the feeling that should
actuate the friends of all the candidates named.
The Journal_ emarks :
The favorite of the Whigs of thc 17th
Congreassonal District desires not to be
the candidate of the Whig party, unless it
appears to be clearly and unequivocally the
wish of a majority of that party, that it
should be so. Gen. JAMES 'IRVIN cares
more for the success of Whig principles in
Pennsylvania, and the ultimate redemp
tion of our, c,,, un the - blighting in
trunifncnism, than ma
litical promotion of himself. There will
be no occasion, therefore, for .any bicker
ings or heart burnings between the friends
of the
.different candidates, as we are quite
Willing to accord the same amount of pa
triotism to the othergentlemannamed, that
we clatin for the favorite of our district,
and believe all now before the people are
"Whigs of the right stamp—willing either to
bear the Standard, or do battle,for the suc
cess of their principles, as private soldiers
in the ranks. If, therefore, the different in
terests and divisions of the Whig army but
act prudently, the most harmonious and
auspicious nomination may be effected
with ease, and the candidate, be he Irvin, I
Cooper, Markle, Stewart or Strohm, or a
ny other good Whig, triumphantly elected.
The friends of Irvin, it may be expect
ed by all, will be moderate, yet firm and
unwavering, in his support. They will
stand by the man of their choice, and with
becoming zeal support his 'nomination by
the Convention, until .they discover that
there is a majority against them ; \ but in
that event they will go in heart and hand
to the support of any other gentleman that
may be selected, with as much zeal and
industry as if the choice had fallen upon
their own favorite ; provided he possesses
the indispensable qualifications—"hones
ty and capability."
The general spirit of the above extract, wo re
peat, commends itself to the friends of the differ-
ent candidates, and by none, we feel assured, will it
be more cordially reciprocated than by those who
have urged the nomination of our immediate fel
low-citizen. Holding the triumph and successful
administration of Whig principles in our State
legislation to be an attainment infinitely paramount
to all personal considerations, we have but little pre-
ference as to the individual to be ourtstandard bear-
er, and stand ready to do battle tinder any good
Whig to whom the majority of our friends shall
point as combining in his qualifications the better
requisites for a successful leader. We support Mr.
Coorsa not that we regard • him a better Whig
than Gen. IRVINE, Gen. MARKLE; Mr. STr.wAnT,
orMi.lagrt, but that we believe the qual
ifications which shouldattach to the next Whig
candidate for Governor develope themselves more
preeminently in him than in any other individual
named—not that we dciubt the possibility of , an
election of any other man ; but that we he
lieve that a triumph over our political enemies
would be achieved More easily and more certainly

trr The eise'Of the Commonweaith vs. DANIEL
31'Coort,for.im attempt to bribe Victor E. Piollet,
a Member of the Legislature, and of the Conimit
tee on Banks, by giving him $4OO and promising
him 11100 more, for his vote in favor of the Lehigh
County Bank, 'an investigation of sundry charges
against which was then pending before that Com
mittee, pursuant to a resolution of the House, was
closed in the Court of Quarter Sessions of Dauphin
I county, on Saturday last, having occupied the
time of the Court since the previous Wednesday
morning. The Harrisburg correspondent of the
U. S. Gazette states that the prosecution was con
:
ducted by John A. Kane, Esq., the Attorney Gen
eral, and his highly respectable Deputy for that
county, Richard 31Vallister, Esq. And the de
! fence, it possible, was still more ably managed by
James MCornsick and J. A. Fisher of Harrisburg,
and the lion. James Cooper of Gettysburg. "When
Greek meets Greek Allen comes the tug of war,"
—and yet the whole case was conducted with
great decorum and due courtesy on both sides, the
Court-house being crowded with spectators; attract'
ed thither by the novelty or importance of the trial,
and the ability of the cotinsel concerned in it.
The whole
two
depended upon the tea.
timony of two witrresses upon the part of the Com
monwealth, Mr. Piollet and Mr. Galloway, both
member of the Legislature. The defence was di
rected principally to discrediting this testimony
and adducing evidence of the uniform good char
acter of the accused. The counsel fdr defendant
also argued to the Court that the offence of bribing
a member of the Legislature is not an indictable
offence at Common Law, and that the prosecution
I could not be sustained ua we have no statuary
provision upon the subject.
Judge Eked, in his charge to the Jury, corn
'batted this view, and decided that the case before
the Court was indictable at Common La.w, and
that whatever amounted to a public wrong was
the subject of indictment. He then reviewed the '
testimony, and instructed the jury, that if they be
lieved Piullet and Galloway, they must bring in the
defendant guilty.
At half past 2 o'clock, the Jury returned a ver
'diet of ouri,Ty- 7 when the counsel for the defence
moved„ an arres.t. of judgeinent, with a view of re
arguing the legal points.
On Monday after a short arguinent, the Court sen
tenced McCook to pay a fine of $6OO and the costs
of prosecution. The $4OO Which Piolet had re
ceived from McCook and-handed =over to the
Speaker of the House, was restored to McCook.
Support 'Your own County Papers.
CETI I e last Westchester "Record;`" in an arti:
de upon the' propriety .of T encouraging County
Newspapers, has. the following sensible remarks,
which we transfer to our columns, and commend
to the attention of our readers: Substituting Ad
dams for CI ester, every word becomes peculiarly
applicable to this region.
While on this , subject, we may say a
word in reference to the tricks
. constantly
practiced by the Philadelphia papers to
gull the public into their support. Quite
recently one of them has offered to supply
nf 7r, rnntn tl niece the present 3rear,
and next year for nothing, zi . they get More
subscribers than any other office ! Their
chance is as one to a 1000. In one or two
_instances, we understand, the take in has
been effectual and numbers of men have
subscribed for a distant paper, that gives
not a stiver of Chester county news, be
cause it is cheap. Some of these men arc
mechanics, who think it strange that their
neighbor should go to the city to buy
boots, coats, hats or cabinet ware; when
' they could get a better article at home,
which if it cost more would suit them bet
ter. We do not think any store keeper,
or shoemaker, or cabinet or chair maker, or
other mechanic, who goes to Philadelphia
or New York to buy his papers, while he.
borrows his own county papers from his
neighbors, has aright to complain f he
finds his own customers going to the same
places to buy their goods. Now, we say
to the storekeepers and all others in Ches
ter county, encourage your own county
papers—make them respectable by giving
them support. Every citizen of Chester
county will find in his own county paper
news that he cannot get 'elsewhere—im
portant news—marriages, deaths, adver
tisements, local items, proceedings of Court,
jury lists, notices to Drs. and Crs. and
thousand other things, interesting and impor
tant to him, and not to be found elsewhere.
Come, fellow citizenssupport home in
dustry—support us and we'll sup sort yon
—every dollar that is added _to 'bur sub
scription enables us to add something to
the value. and appearance of our paper. To
all merchants and mechanics, we say—
support your own county newspapers, and
you can fairly ask and expect your, neigh
bors to support you. Example is every
thing.

ed for several dayi in order to have the Halls re

- In the House of Representatives on Monday
last, on motion of Mr. Adums, a resolution was
adopted requesting the President of the U. States
to inform the House whether any deserters lrom
the United States army have been shot while in
the act of deserting, and if so, by whose orders.
On Wednesday the President transmitted to the
House a message in reply, stating
.that no orders
upon the subject had been,issued by the War De

from Gen. Taylor, commanding the army on the

. which went out from this country by the Hiber

preserve peace between the two countries. The
English people are engrossed by their own public
affairs, and the excitement upon the Corn Laws
and the Irish Coercion Bill has reached such a pitch
that it was : expected Sir Robert Peel would have
to retire from his position at the bead of affairt.
The opposition'to - his measures'was expected to
be led by Lord Stanley.
The Cotton Market had advanced one-eighth of
a . penny, the Hibernia having carried out a confir

Business generally was dull. No improvemeiit

There was no change to note in the flour mar
ket, which continued firm at former prices.
The iron trade had undergone no change.
The provision market dull, large arrivals having
recently taken place.
As Louis Philippe was returning from his drive
in the forest of Fountainbleau, a man seated on
the wall, fired at the King. His family were with
him. Several balls struck inside the carriage but
no one was injured. The assassin was artested.
The news from Ireland is distressing—in some
parts of Tipperary the peasantry, unable to resist
the cravings of hunger any longer, have broken
into the shops and helped themselveS. The town
of Clommell is• in a state of siege, and the poor,
starving people are only kept down by fear of the
bayonet.
The latest accounts from Spain announce the

rived at New Orleans on the 29th ult., ad
vices have been received from the Army
of Occupation to the 22W On the 19th
Lieut. Porter, of the 4th Regiment, (son of
the late Commodore Porter,) being out
with a fatigue party of ten men, (some of
them wearing uniform) was fired upon with
in a few miles of the camp. Lieut. Porter
and three of his men were killed in the at
tack, the rest of the party escaping, return
ed to the camp next day. It is stated that
the guns of the Americans 'were wet and
would not fire.
Nothing further had been hoard of Col.
Cross up to the 19th, but the general opin
ion is that he is still a prisoner, though not
at Matainoras. In answer to a message o
inquiry from Gen. Taylor in regard to the
capture of Col. Cross, Gen Ampudia sent
several officers to the American camp with
the answer that they knew nothing of Col.
Gross, but they had made Lieut. Doas a
prisoner. This officer it appears, had pre
viously crossed the river (but without or
ders) in search of Col; Cross, (who was
his particular friend,) and had fallen into
the hands of the Mexicani. Gen. Ampu
dia, in his answer to the inquiries of Gen.
Taylor concerning Col. Cross, expressly
disavowed any acts' hostility that might
have been or might hereafterbe committed
by Mexicans op this side of the river, sta-
ting that all such acts were unauthoriaccl by
him or his Government.
About fifty of the American army have
deserted and swam the river for the Mexi
can-camp, but a number of them were shot
as deserters while in. the water, The
whole-number of American troops is esti
mated at between two and three thousand,
-and they are said to he in excellent discip
line, and eager for tin engagement with the
enmity, tAmptidia's 'forces-arOreported at

As he stood 'sawing off the end of a felloe,
the current of -electricity penetrated his
boot near the hall on the inside his left foot
followed his left side up to his head; and
passed up' through the chamber floor into
the room where it had first left, killing
Mr. Cussinough 'instantly ; and carrying
with it particles of his cap, which were
picked out of the ceding! directly over
where lie stood., 'chore was a young tnan
in the same room, at work with Mr. Cus
sinough, who was not more than six or
seven feet from him at the time he was
struck; he was not even shocked nor in-
jured. There were also in the room, where
it passed' down and up, Mr. elute and his
wife, and Peter MeHuey and a boy; none
of them over eight feet from the current,
and none of them hurt. The house was
considerably damaged, and the chimney
cracked in several places.
A SAD ACCIDENT.—The Washington
(Pa.) Reporter says :—"A. most distress
ing accident occurred in our borough on
last Tuesday evening. A well-digger nam
ed Stewart Lynn, engaged in sinking a well
at the new foundry of Brice, Frisbee and
Hitchcock, met -with an accident which is
likely to terminate in his-death. He had
placed the fire to the match in order to
make a blast, but unusual delay in the ex
plosion led him to suppose that the match
was cxtinguised by the _ damp air in the
well. While descending the well to reig
nite it, the, explosion - tool: place, which
mangled his lace in a most horrible man
ner, lacerating every ligament, breaking
his arm and otherwise dreadfully mangling
his body. .His appearance is described by
those who saw him, as horrible in the ex
treme. The poor sufferer is enduring the
tortures of a thousand deaths at the moment'
of this present writing."
COITSTERFEITS.—A letter, published in
.Bicknell's Counterfeit Detector, says that
the new counterfeit lives, on the Farmers'
and Merchants' Bank of Baltimore, -arc in

EXTENSIVE Ronumtv.—Mr. McCabe o
Howard st., Baltimore, was robbed of $B,-
221 in Bank bills, a few nights ago, while
on his , way to Philadelphia, in one of the
steamboats. The money was taken from
under his pillow; while he was asleep in
one of the berths, and consists of $2,000
in notes of the Commercial and Farmers'
Bank of Baltimore, $2,000 on the Union
Bank ; and $3,221 on various BankS in the
city of New York. There were live $l,-
000 notes among them.
A LAWYER SENTENCED in the U. S. Dis
trict Court sitting at Baltimore on Satur
day.—By this Court the sentence was pro
nounced on E. P. King, a lawyer convict
ed of attempting to defraud the U. S. Treas
ury Department, at Washington. Judge
Heath reviewed the transaction, setting
forth to the prisoner the enormity of his of
fence, and concluded by sentencing him to
the Penitentiary for five,years.,
THE SECRET SERVICE FUND.—The N.
York Sun say's :—We learn that President
'Tyler has written a letter to the commit
tee of Congress, in which he alleges that
Mr. Webster never applied any portion o
the secret service fund without consulting
him, and . receiving his entire sanction;
that no part was applied without proper
consideration, and that he, and not Mr.
Webster, is wholly responsible for its ap
plication in all cases.
INCREASE OF POSTAGE.-111 the course
of the discussion on the Post Office appro

_House
of Representatives, in reply to an enquiry
made by Mr. Payne, Mr. Hopkins, (chair
man of the committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads,) stated, that . the committee
had agreed upon a bill proposing an increase
of the rates of postage established by the
Into law, but not a heavy increase—and that
the bill would be reported in a few days.

BREACH OF PROMISE.—During 63 7 SCS
sion of the Supreme Court of Massachu
setts, which was begun. silt Lowell; April
il3, two cases of breach of promise of mar-
Hag have been tried. Iri the East Caro.
line Frost sued Wheelock Newton for
breach of promise of marriage and seduc
tion, claiming $2,000 damages. The Ju
ry gave the plaintiff a verdict of $2,500--
$5OO more than she claimed. She can
avail herself of $2,000, the amount claim
ed. Poor Newton got badly frost-bitten.
Both' of the parties' belonged to West Cain
bridge, Mass., and arc very young; and
tho connexions highly respectable. In the
other case, Lucelia Pearl sued Philander
Cheswell.for breach of promise of mar—
riage and seduction, and the jury gave a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $2,000
The girls of Massachusetts are not to be
trifled with. We wonder if the faithless
wooers feel chat]; 7 .. •
MARRYING IN JEST.—The Legislature
of New York has refused to annul the mar
riage of Miss Lilhe, who, it will be recol
lected, stood up and was married during a
sleighing frolic. It is hard, but just. A
ceremony of such importance is not a lit
subject for mockery. As she married in
haste, she must repent at leistii.e.
The Albany Citizen, of Monday, says the mat
ter has been finally settled as follows :
"Miss Lillie and Mr. Hall, whose ap
plication for divorce has occupied much of
the time of the Legislature, were married
last evening, in the South Pearl street
Baptist Church."
WESTERN PRODUCE.—The amount of
bread stuff waiting shipment at Milwaukie
was a short time since, 150,000 bushels
of wheat, and 15,000 barrels of flour. And
there was in store at Racine 150,000 bush
els of wheat, 2,000 hides 1,000 bbls. flour,
450 bbls. pork, 4,000 bbls. beef, '2,000
bushels oats.
DISPARITY.—In all marriages care
should be taken to encourage no disparity
of years between the parties, which is ev
er the source of unhappiness. The Lex
ington (Mo.) Telegraph announces the
marriage of Mr. Eden Myers, a youth of
10,_to Mrs. Mary Nash the mother of 25
children ! And also, Judge John Briscoe,
formerly of Cooper county, and_now a res
ident of Van Buren, aged 70, to Miss Drake..
aged 16!
THE NASHVILLE TRAGEDY.—'!'he Pitts
burg Despatch contains a statement from
Edward Z. C. Judson, who it rill be re
membered, shot Robert Potterfield at. Nas
hville a few months since. He posith;ely
denies all and every charge that has been
brought against him at Nashville with re
gard to his having seduced Mrs. Potterfield
and pronounces all that has been said a
bout her as base libels on.an injured and
virtuous lady.
DIVORCES. —A paragraph is now doing
the rounds, stating that sixty divorces
were granted by the laSt,Legislature of this
State, and that each case paid a tax into
the State Treasury of twenty dollars. The
Senator from this county informs us that
this is a mistake. But twenty seven di
vorces were granted, and the tax of $2O is
only paid when the application is made by
the husband.—Lan. Examiner.
REDUCTION OF FARE.-.A. material' re
duction in the rates of travel has been made
on the Baltimore and Susquehanna Rail
road. Passengers are now conveyed be
tween Baltimore and York, Pa., a distance
of sixty miles, for $1,50, in three hours
and a half, and to other points on the road
at proportionate rates.
Two HUNDRED AND FORTY-THREE TAV
ERN LICENSES were granted at the April
term of the Court of Quarter Sessions, at
Lancaster, and twelve applications refused.
The Court will not grant a liemise to any
new stand unless the applicant makes out
a very strong case, and is without the op
position of any respectable portion of the
community in which it is located.
FINE TIMEA . FOR THE GlRLS.—Accord
lug to an ancient act of the good old Scot
tish Parliament, passed in the reign of
Queen . Margaret, about the year 1288, it
Was "ordered that during ye reign of her
maist blessit Majestic, ilka maiden Mee,
