~paraget.phs
" Mr. Ensa - orth3by this verdict. is thus clear

as he hes suffered while the ca ‘te was pending,

Ale.ss shonld do him justice. We neVer, after

his character fully, and it !twat be a
*dune of congratulation to every lover ofjus
'flee, that an honorable citizen has been re
lieved from the odium attendant upon a pros
pcutrott of the kind.
"The opposition press, however. nre dis
posed to deal unfairly with Gov. Parker iu
the . premises. If Gov- P. has been deceiv
ed anti has liberated a convict. it is no
4 P1144011 that it should be charged that in
.4l,l‘frillents were held out to criminals to
; implicate honest men. It is well known that
.Inducements have alwyas been held out;
..co parties under arrest in order to get one
';non to make diseeslures against the rest;
'sid in 'this matter Governor Packer sim
!ply performed his duty. We hare no doubt
whatever that the charges against Mr. Ens.
Furth were nufounded, but we think our op
position neighbors can defend him full, with
out attempting to stigmatize any officer of the'
e.OructionWealtlf."'
• . The "opposition press" are here,charg-1
xi s with being "disposed to deal unfairly
pith Gov. Packer," and in another part
bf the artiple, "impeach Gev. Packer" is'
the language used. Now our readers
sow (but the readers of the Republican
flo rotas ftr as that paper is concern
rd) that the only impeachment of the
governor has been the pnbliCation of the !
pardon of Charles Miller, accompanied
by a.short comment from the Elmira Ad
vertiser, the only important part of which
is a contradiction of the falsehood con
tained in the pardon that three men had
Ileen arrested in Elmira through informs-
Von nhtaiped from Miller. If this is ins
pelphtnent the Governor and his defend-
Aro ,can make the most of it.
The Republica); expresses full confi
dence in the honesty of Mr. Ensworth,
and declares that "after the first proceed
ings had taken place it never doubted
that he Would be able to vindieate his
pharacter fully," and yet the Governor
pays iu his pardon, "there is uo doubt of
; the' guilt of these partieS." Now what
as the evidence upon which the Govern
pr founds his assertion ? /We mere word
pia convict in the Penitentiaq, commu
nicated to him by the DiStriet Attorney:
But there are other facts connected'
pith this matter which it will not be amiss I
to refer to, and perhaps in doing_ so wel
pan refresh the memory of the editor of
1.6 - 'Republican. Charles Miller was par
doned eut of the penitentiary and came
home on Saturday. On Monday it was
expected that Mr. Ensworth's trial would;
come on, and on Monday morning, it was
runerted in Williamsport that Miller midi
Kate King bad decamped, and on Tilos::
day the Jersey Shore liPpublican camel
put . 6outaining the following article :
Aeseoenee.—it wilt be recollected that at

The appearance of this article with the
,signiticant last sentence struck us at the'
Mine as singular. ;In the first place it is;
libelous, and if a prosecution should be
pommenced would probably subject the
publisher to considerable expense, and in
the second place it presented a case of.
enterprise in getting news not habitual
tenth that journal, as we need not say that'
it is not in the habitpf publishing
actions taking place in Williamsport the'
day before its issue. This we all know!'
Perhaps this will be an impeachment of!
the Republican.

friends in this matter, appears more,
afiamey and degrading every time we
look at ti." and it is impossible for any one,
after exaininikg the subject in all its
bearingi to resist the conclusion that it
rag a most base and deeply laid scheme

Last week we gave soave of the pro

rs. Loran A. Ensworth, which was tried!
in the District Court held at Williamsport,
Sept. '2U, ISSB, with remarks thereon

Miller, under 04(111111st:ince:: to say the
least u . of them, very discreditable (if not
orituipal) on the part of the Exeoutive of
a sovereign State.
TIM same plea offered in extenuation,
by Guy. Packer for the pardon of Charles
Miller, could be entered with as much
justice in every case where a person has
violated the laws of his country, and is
justly suffering the penalty for violating
those laws. Therefore, if nothing else, it
is a bad ifreeedeni, and for the protection
of all eowutuoities should not have been

under, and the learned Judge instructed
the . d .i Ury to return a verdict of acquittal
'of •r. Ensworth without leaving their
box, which they did,
I Now we wish our readers to bear in
I mind, that this evidence which 'Attorney

could not ask a ponvietlon under, was the
evidence which Gov. Packer pardoned out
of the Penitentiary, (as we 'believe) for
the purpose. as far as In his power, to I
in

I friends, whose character for honesty and'
!morality no one had heretofore dared to,

parties were who:would be arrested, and;
whom Go'v. Packer terms before their'
'trial, or even arrest; as " notorious erinii

ty. Gee. Kelm's political antecedents
were Whig, whio4 adds to the interest of
the result.
nC$ James Chestnut, Esq., has been
elected to the United States Senate from
South Carolina. Mr. Chestnut was Pres
ident of the State Senate, and is anti-6re
eating in his political sympathies. The
Palmetto people are thus left without a
fire-eating representative in the kational
Senate, Senator Hammond having in a
recent speech renounced disunion doc
trines.
4 lion. John Letcher, fire-eater, has
been nominated by the Democrats • for
Governor of Virginia. The• Convention
was a warm one, and some of the mem
bers "passed the lie," and have gone to
North Carolina to "vindicate their wound
ed honor," in a duel. They are Mr.
Jackson and Mr. Seddon. The result
will be looked for with interest, by the
' Virginia "fancy" who are just now bay
ing i a fine "sea Sou" of private shooting-at
'each-other.
z We print herewith, .a couple of
articles relating to the recent trial of.L
A. Eusworth, at Williamsport, on a
charge of counterfeiting. The positron
which' Gov. Packer has taken in this
matter is not very flattering to either his
politival or personal integrity, and is al
together a fine illustration of "Democrat
lie usages," when a party purpose is to be
!served. Mr. Ensworth is well and favor-
I ably known here, having at one time re
sided in this village. The articles will
bo read with interest by his friends.
var. We endorse the following item
from the McKean Citizen, and cheerful
ly give it it place In our columns:
TRANSCRIBING CLERK.—We learn
that our friend Row of the Raftsnton's
Journal is a candidate for Transcribing
Clerk of the neat Efouse. Mr. Row ts
one of those persons to whom James Le
comptun Wllis owes his late eleetionto
stay at hoine. Ile is a gontleman that is
b .itleiog for the Right in the dark cona
ty of Cicarticld, with the entire 13igler
faction to oppose him. Pis efforts have
been such that the day is heg;iming to
dawn in that benighted region, and a few
years more will certainly Bud him in the
ascendancy. If such a man does not de
serve an office when he asks for it, who
does?
Tun NATIONAL &A.—This excellent
paper is about to commence its thirteenth
volume, and as it is conducted upon the
cash prineiple, its editor -appeals to the
public for 4 continuance of that support
which has been extended to it heretofore.
The Era is the only paper at Washing
ton which reflects the anti-slavery senti
ment of the country; and as it is on that
account deprived of all federal patronage,
it is dependent entirely upon the people, ,
' l
outside of the District. Those who de
sire a first class paper from the seat of
government should order the Era. No
journal in the Union bas a - more able
corps of editors and correspondents. It
WI/quits weekly a well prepared variety
lof editorials on different subjects, a sum
' wary of moral news and political intel
ligence, has a ANN, record of the pro
ceedings of Congress, and is the repository
' of a large portion of the most, interesting
speeches delivered in that body. The
terms are two dollars per annum for a
single copy, and to clubs it - is furnished
at a much lower rate. . We trust a large

JAMES POLLOCK, the first Republican Coy
ernor of Pennsylvania, on whom tli6 Resubli
cans, Americans and Whigs united Iwhea they,
achieved the glorious victory of his election,
is second to no man in our country for true
patriotism and for political as well as person
al integrity. The example of economy set by
his administration of our State Government,
might well be imitated by our National Ad
ministrations.

candidates tbr the Presidency and Vico Presi
deney, the Republica!) party of tlie nation may
rely that and' Pennsylvania will give
the taajorities for Freedom which will decide
the campaign of eighteen hundred and sixty.
PITTSBURGH.
, I We heartily endorse all of the above,
culogium of principles and men; but, we
- -
as heartily object to the ticket proposed—
Or at least half of it—for many, and we
think, incontrovertible reasons, souse of
-which we give below.
'1 We believe it would be inexped i ent to
aoroloate two wen of the same political
-antecedents- and of such approximate lo
cality. Both of these mon are old-line
Whigs, and however long-headed the wire
Workers may deem themselves who will
endeaver to procure the nomination of the
ticket proposed by " Pittsburgh," the re
suit Would unmistakably prove that they
were exceedingly too short-sighted for po
litical lenders. Would the Middle and
Eastern States sustain a :ioket made up
in two adjoining Western States? Would
the Democratic element of the Republi
can party sustain a ticket on which they
were not represented ? The thought of
either is preposterous in the face of good
policy. Our party is now in a position
7 . •
which glees every reason for its success
in the Presideu(ial - contest of 186 U, and.
we honestly and sineorely believe that the
suocessor of Mr. Buchauan will represent.
the Republican principles and party. But
the line of policy suggested in the last
paragraph of " Pittsburgh's" constnunica
lion would prove a regular eoap d' etas up
on the prospects'of the party.
We have no objection whatever to Win.
H. Seward as our candidate for President
in .1860—indeed, we would be very much
'pleased to have hits* for our standard-bear
er. .He is now " square and fair" upon
the platform which we desire to see the
Republican party adhere to and rise pr
fall by in 1860—bold, fearless and h-on
estly avowed hostility to the slave-power
—a platform upon which we believe it
will achieve the victory of its second great i
battle with slavery and official eorruption.l
Give us either him or Salmon P. Chase,
of Ohio,", with
..a suitable .candidate for
' Vice President; and our party-will be sure
of success. But save us from such a
ticket as that presented by " Pittsburgh."
The true policy .would be to nominate
Wm. 11.. Seward for President -and Cas
sius M. tlay i for,Vice President, or Sal
mon P. Chase for President and Francis
P. Blair for Vice President. With olds
.-
cc of these tickets we would feel certain
of success. :
While we cheerfully accord to ex-Gov.
Pollock all the . honors he has thus far
achieved in his profession and past official
position, as well as in the nobler position
of a man, we do not feel safe in endorsing
his name as a candidate for Vice Presi
dent in 18(10: If the nomination is to be
given to Peitosilitaiiia at all, wo Ipattld
muuli prefer the _name of David Wilmot;
but we think it would ,be. i inexiiedient to
noininate either candidate frotp;,Penniyi

of domestic nigger-driving into the bills,

American cruisers on the coast of Africa
have no right to overtake and punish the
Charleston nigger-stealing fraternity whom
they may nab in the act and I in full pos
sessi6n of the booty. The United States,
naval officers are posted in the matter too,
and when they do chance to Cause a Free
dom shout on the coast of Africa or Cuba.
it is sure to Echo Slavery in th" great
port—the immense slave-grotto—of
Charlesfon. Hence, the common law of
South Carolina sirens into tlle grand pro
-portions of National acquittals for piracy.
Hence, no bills were found by a Charles.
j ton grand jury, (which set in the Federal
Cowl at Columbia,) against the nigger
stealers captured by Lieut.
Onarleston, therefore, we repeat, is a great'
city, fur it can take its own part, and its
grand juries are *oder ready to second it ;'
land South Carolina is a great State, be-,
cause it contains, nay, we had better say,
it is in Charleston.
But abolitionism, or aught -in the Fed
eral laws that favors the idea that slavery
is wrong, must tiow be ex purigedi; for here
is the 'fiat of Charleston, and who dares
refuse its demands,. and cull himself a cit
izen of South Caroiiva ? I#y a Leh:ram

of South Carolina in Congress to use all efforts
to secure ,the repeal of all ineotsures of the
Genera! Government restrictive of the slave
trade, the isaine being in derogation of the
rights of the South. They were ordered fur
euu,ideratioa tu-day.•'
We presume the said resolutions will re
ceive due consideration from the members,
which consideration will of course be gov
erned by the particular demand of Charles
ton ; and furthermore, we presume the
South Carolina Senators and Congressmen
will be instruoted to demand the repeal of , l
all federal enactments interfering with
free-trade (in niggers) in the name of the
great Palmetto Union ; and furthermore, 1
we presume that the national adwinistra
tion, with its dough face northern laequeys,
will listen to-the South Carolina commands 1
with obedient ears ; and furthermore, we
presume that the great South Carolina
powers will, in consequence of the ausil
liary feelingof the administration, be high

elated - with an "almost victory," out
of which to make capital for iMr. Doug.
