DRFJO SCOTT COXRYXTIO.W —The pcop'c of \\ :.rreu, Mas*., at a Meeting held on the 22d iu!a?.t, passed a reseiutiou ia favor of a state contention at Worceates at an earl? day, to "devito uicniis t secure prompt, efficient,organized, united and continued sction Iu the crisislesal ting from the Dred Nc.wt eajt and thr state of nffairs iti Km &U& * "Several toarriages auo deaths have beer? trowtiei out ibis week, ' POLITICAL PABSOKS " For the last two or three years, the fears of the Democracy hare been constantly ex | cited by the cries, and of the \ Bedford Gre'/e,aad kindred prints against I "POLITICAL R.'.KSOSS," and "PUEACHEKS I MELDLINO IN POLITICS." This game las j Leen so persistently pursued, that many clergymen were deterred from expressing i their honest sentiments at the Ln:lot Box. i Two years :go the solemn protest of three thousand clergymen of New England against t'jat great National Crime the Re peal of ihe Missouri Compromise, and the ! attempt torproad Slavery over the fair Terr? iory of Kansas, was received with the bowks and execrations of the sham-Demo cracy from one end of the land to the other. To have heard them then, one would have ; supposed that clergymen had no political > right*, no j o.'itieal duties or'obligatious.— j The politicians told them that their "King i dotn was not of this Earth," aud to meddle at all with the trade, would only dibble their sweet aud saiutiy garments. Hut j when tne of thcui is found like the llev. John Chambers, ready to prostitute bis priestly clliee and garble holy texts to prove that human slavery!* an institution of divine ordination, lie was caught up and ; quoted,and puffed and fluttered hv every one Jbf these politicians, who had lately been 1 .-o fearfully exercised on account of eletical I interference iu affairs belonging so pceuliai ly to the laity. Aud when the Rev. John 1 A. Collins was wheedled into a very foolish reply to tire "three thousand," which made ; him guilty of the very fault which he eon | detuned in them, his letter was u.-eu as a first-rate campaign document, by these very ! politicians who so late trembled with the j fear that the meddling priests were übou l | to overturn the fair fabric which hod beets reared by the patriotic fathers. In short wherever a minister could b persuaded to j use the influence of Lis priestly office, aud ; attempt to prove the divine origin of hu i man chattlcLood, and the exceeding great j , blessings thereof, he was carried upon the ; 1 hands of these very politicians, and his | ! arguments were made to appear the most 1 forcible in the campaign, j To come down from these general remarks j to a special case, and to prove that this cry I jof priestly interference .was only a sham, '■ and that if is regarded by themselves as a very excellent thing, we have oniy to refei j |to the election of I'ost Master of our lit- j ; tie Borough, when throe Buchanan. Doinio j cratie, Union-loving Preachers, were led to j : the polls, and soiled tie purify of their j | priestly iob s, in the filthy pool of politics. ' Here was a meddling iu political affairs em- J j pbatic and decisive; more so than if they : bad openly declared from the pulpit their i i opinions upcu the great political questions' j which divide the and thus let them ! Jbe seen and known of all men. They were I thus seen to exert their personal influence j at a strictly party dispute, without any o* j ' the usual sanctions of stn election, from j , which one half of their fellow-citizen*, sup. ! i posed to possess equal rights with themselves . were excluded Ns>ne, be it understood were permitted to vote at this election but regular, simon-puro 'recognized Democrat-' , who bad voted fur Buchanan, and these , , clergymen marched to the polls with the ! ' badge of Democracy upon thcui, thus using 1 all the influence which preachers possess in j behalf of the parry- and the favorite of its ; ; leaders. It was not an election involving tiie slightest political principle, but an eager ! | and indecent scramble after public plunder. . Worse still, it was a paltry proscription, a I petty persecute n of a defenceless woman, i and the participation of these gentlemen i failed to impart to the proceedings the least j j odcr of ricetity. Four or five other clergy- I | men were not permitted to enjoy the privil- I j ego of voting at this party election'. Were j : the former better than their professional ; J bretbern who were excluded? Two of the j j latter we believe did uot vote at the gencr-! |ai election, and tlie others, in obedicuec, j i perhaps, to the arrogant demand that preaeh j era should take n.i part in politics, so luod | catty and unobtrusively, gave expression to | their pvedi.eetious at tlie ballot-box, that their opinions are hardly known now- to the j public. After t!iis demonstration let us j hear no more cant and slang about preach- j | ers meddling in politics.- But iu what wc have said we do not wi.-h it to be'understood that we make nor objerti JU to the participation of clergymen j |in political affairs. Ou the contrary we re- ! | gird it as a misfortune that they do not i make their influence more frequently felt, j If one half that we were told by the Deiuo jcraej wore true of the designs of the j fanatics of the opposition to destroy this : glorious union it Was their duty tobriDg all j ■ their influence no bear * gainst the .wicked j attempt. 'J'Lus acted the clergymen of the | good old duj s of the Revolution, wLo bold ly preached against ihe usurpations of the j crown and gave their blessings to the youth | who went out to fight tLc battles of their ! c-uutry. So did they in Scotland, when | they ir.fued iu the hearts of the people their own love of liberty. So too, iu Eng. | ' covenanter clergymen upheld and defended the cause of civil liberty, when the cavaliers and politician* had well uiirh ruined it. They cherished a sacred regard jin those days for liuuum Rights.

At least they have none of that spirit which would lead them to in : tcrfere in a petty dispute between rival i claimants of their own party for a petty | political office, aud that too against a teo man. 1 "WON'T GO DAVY!" Under this head, the Gazette, last week, ■ lias a characteristic article. It states that ! .'Mr. Levi Atznew, who has been one of our j most active and prominent opponents in ! Bedford," and "who was their nominee lor ; High Constable only a few weeks since,' ! when "he heard of the nomination of \\ ti met, determined bis course, and voluntarily j recorded Lis name to the Constitution of the | Buchanan Club!" Well, if Levi was one cf their "active and prominent opponents," I we never knew it, neither did his hypocrisy' jof the Gazette! As to his joining tho Club i on hearing cf the nomination of Wilmot, lit is simply ridiculous. All in this place ! knew that Levi voted against us last fall, j ! he has frequently admitted this fact, aud it i is well known that it was only through sym j pa\!ry that he received a sort of nomination ■ for high constable—and it was only through I sympathy that he has been kept in that j i ffice by the \i liigs and Americans for the | la.-t seventeen or eighteen years. It was i on acccuiit ot his course last fall that be j was uet elected this Spring—quite a tsum i her of cur friends would not swallow hitu, jou account of his desertion of us in our ! time of need. Levi told us, and told quite a number of others, on the evening of the i Spriugejeetion, that he had left the Auieri : can partv, and that he was now a Locofoeo. This was before the American Republican Convention met, and consequently it was not because of his "hearing of the {nomina tion of Wilmotl" It is also well known that in ease of a tic vote for Constable, ihe Court has the appointment of that officer. 'I Le Judges are all Locofoeo.-, uuc of whom voted for him at the election, knowing hitu to be a laocofoco, and Levi has taken this public course, (now that he can no longer act the Looofoco secretly,) to get the ap pointment from the Court over Win. T. Chapman, Esq. The Gazette knows all this, and yet the ly ing hypocrite, says that it is on account of the nomination of Wil mot. The Apportionment Bill, was defeated in the Senate a few days ago, Mr. Crabb of Philadelphia, voting against it on the ground that the old City, proper could cot bo ob literated as a Legislative or Senatorial Dis trict, and that she was thcrefoie still en titled to two Senators. Messrs. Seofield and Souther moved a reconsideration. — The bill is not yet acted upon. We clip |he following paragraph from the Harris burg correspondent of the Philadelphia Peiinsylvaniau Inquirer: Upon another point connected with our city apportionment, there will be trouble, aud that is upou the Constitutional right to district the county of Philudc'phit for mem bers of the lower House. Mr. Jordan, who reported the bill, and who is a very able pnvyer, holds that the Legislature has the power to di.-trkt. Mr. Browne, tho able Senator, from the county, his conceded the light in his draft of a minority bill in that body. Gen- Foster, one of the üble-t law yers in the House, his expressed doubts ol the constitutional power. It will, therefore, be a very pretty subject for discussion. FiftE.—The Barn belonging to the Misses Sellers, in the Western part of town was burned down on Sunday night last, The fire broke out aOout 11 o'clock and before assistauce cuuid lie reudered it was con sumed. About 50 bushels wheat, 50 of corn, and 3 or 4 ton* of hay were also des troyed. A valuable Thrashing Machine of Mr. Shires, which was in the b'ru was also burned. The loss will bo about 5S00,00; uo inssrauce. The Engine Company were on the ground prepared to perioral their duty but front the uitet want of water were unable to render any assistance. The cause of the fire is unknown. A singular eercumstatico. connected with fires iu this place, is that iu almost every instance they have occurred on Sunday night, when our citizens were at Church or after the towu was wrapt in sleep. IION. JOHN C KTNKEL. We call the attention of all our Ameri can friends to the speech of this talented Amer'.eaan which we publish on our first page, before the meeting of the American party in Harrisburg. He gives tho best reasons in the world why all true Americans should vote for the great orator and States man, David WUtnot, for Governor. Read the speech, and hand it to your neighbor after you are done with it. it gives the views of one of ihe ablest and greatest A merican orators in the land, why every one who loves the principles of the American party should give our candidate bis hearty and eurdiai support. For the gratification of our Democratic friends iu this place we publish the follow ing little dispatch from Washington. As the Gazette carefully excludes ell such in formation frctn its readers, we publish it gratis, and expect that they will not be un grateful for tbeajt little favors! WASHINGTON, April 3—Applications for route agencies and small post offices, con tinue largely to increase. It lias been de termined, however, that, no removal of the present incumbent* shall ihe place, ex cepting for cause. THE Ca*V£.inV-Ifß CANDI DATE*. We bad time last week but briefly t 0 announce the results of the deliberations of the Convention to nominate candidates for Governor, Canal Commissioner and' Supreme Judges. We now wish to state more particularly why that action receives our hearty suppott, and why we think it deserves tho ratification of every Peun syfVaniati who properly appreciates his I duties to the State and the couuiry. The candidates are, all first*ch**s men— . meu whom uo o.ie nee i be ash <tfiad to j avuw as uts preference—uiea wuo urn cuii j ncntly fit for til,* places for w itch they ; are named —men who, i! chosen, wilt brtug j to the service of the Commonwealth mature ! minds and pure hearts—uiea who subscribe !to all ike principles announced in (he ; resolutions, and are prepared to carry out tnst docl.-iocs to which the Conven tion, by a vote, p'edgei it* hearty support.. What those doctrines are we need not state. A raLrenee to the platform will solve all doubts, ao l icuum* I all difficulties. Let, it be sufficient to say 1 that the platform repudiates all coauivauce at the spread of Slavery, and, in a patri otic spirit, warns the eo uulry agaiusl the 1 dangers which menace it from the pow- j crtul compact and Jesuitical Hierarchy : 1 vvho have crushed tiie heari's-blood from i so many people. All those who concur j in these two purposes: the limitation of the area of Human Slavery, and tho pow. j er of a despotic church organization over ! the polities of the nation, arc invited m j show their concurrence by supporting the! candidates presented for their suffrages. The candidates arc fit exponents for the i principles. DAVID WILMOT'S name is j associated, iu the minds ot all, with the j recent effort to restrict the power of toe Slave interest—an effort in which the Looofoco party origiually participated, but which they have long since abandoued; j preferring the spread of aristocratic to the spread of truly DoUiucratie ius:itu- j tiuus. Mr. WILMOT is a man of tho peo ple. lie has risen ftom their ranks, and , has won his way to distinction solely by the force of his character, the purity of j his public and private lite, the cousisteu- ! cv of bis course, and au unswerving de votion to the great principles he many years ago professed. As a member ot i Congress, he distinguished himself chiefly ' by the boldness and courage with which i ho urged the application of the Jefferson j Proviso to the bill contemplating the ac- j quisitioft of territory from Mexico. — i Whilst ;is a Judge and as a man, bo ha ' so endeared himself to his immediate ac- j quaiirtaucea as to have gained au influence j among them which is equalled by that of no other public man. A few years ago, i lie was the rising Democrat of the State. ! lie was confessedly among tho ablest ot i ins ps rty, and ho was sustained by such ; au itrflucuce as must have made him all powerful in its counsels. there was every tiling iu the present and in the pros- ■ peets for the future, to ciako Liui content with his position. But his party failed to | stand firmly where it had arrayed itself— on the side of humanity and free labor.— • it retrograded iuto tbtvsupport of Slavery, and lie left it; at a blow suudering tho j tics which Douud him to it, and willingly j liurvin" the hopes whteh wore held out to him. Wuii.st oili r Democrats, with less position, degraded themselves with their 1 party, iie preserved his personal nud po- j lit iu it integrity, profaning to sink with , his principles' rather than basely betray! theui. Such was bis influence—the in fluence which a true man will always have : who pursues the truth—that his Emigres- j siuiu! district sustained him; and from g'iviug 300 L' Democratic majority, it now gives 8000 Republican. This fact is the highest evidence of his standing at home, of his power where best known; for it is mainly to bis exertions that this unparal- lelcd revolution is attributable. Besides • being a trust-worthy, reliable, houest man, DAVID WILMOT is a great man. lie has J a large heart and a great mind. Ho not only feels right, but ho thinks eiearly and j strongly. He .would make such a Gover nor us the State has not often had, for he j has the capacity to plan for its good, and the nerve and ability to carry out his pur poses. If elected, Le will impress him self upon our legislation, and will so fill the Executive office as to give alia pride iu his eminent attainments. Mr. MILL WARD has served one term iu Congress, and is well known for his gal iuotry, fidelity uud courage. He is a yoiug man, with the energy requisite for the post. Ho is a practical business man, and has Lad such an experience as would make him a useful aud intelligent mem. her of the Canal Board, lie comes from Philadelphia, whose varied interests have seldom had an exponent in the Board, but whose importance deserves it. II is nomi nation was due as well to his locality, as to his personal qualifications and his po litical affiliations. JAMKB VEXCH and JoeEPii J. LEWIS arc well known as accomplished lawyers, One is among the distinguished men of the West, tho other of the East. Each ; has had a largo practice, is cf mature age, ii of high Aantcter, and of good habits, combining all the qualification* desired in the occupants of >o exalted i positions. The Supreme Hen eh of the ; State should he composed of hottest Judge*, who understand their duties and 1 the rights of suitors, and who are thor oughly up to the spirit of the age. They should have no lingering love for tyranny, : but rather should seek the opportunity of accommodating the principles of the law ; to the alleviating tendencies of christian civilization. That the candidates named ' will not be found wanting in these great | essentials, wo truly believe; and we freely and cordially commend their support to those Pennsylvauiaus who wish to see justice administered iu that enlarged spirit which alone becomes the nineteenth i petitory. | Tiio ticket is thus strong in personal character and eminent <ju j.liSlca.ti. us.— The candidates are such a* no American, no Whig, no Republican, no true Demo- ] ; crat should hesitate to support. They are accompanied by a declaration of doo" trines, wish which only cavillers can find fault, and tiiey represent principles elder than our government, upon which it is based, a lid without whose gonial iufiti cuees it cannot iyiig exist. Let, liieu, all rho io?e our free instituiions and would preserve them; a'd who would more firmly establish justice; all who would keep the Government true to the principles de clared in its great charter; .all who would faithfully discharge their duties as mem as patriots and as christians, rally as one utau, enthusiastically support, and tri umphantly elect the candidates last week nominated. HE DECLINES.—Hon. ELLIS LKVWS, at present Chief Justice of the Supreme (Joutt of thi., State, and who was nominated for re-election by the recent Locofoeo State Convention, in a letter published a few davs ago, declines the nomination. The reasons assjgned for this declination are'his earnest deshe to retire from judicial life,' and a hope that harmony may he secured to the ' Locofoeo party by giving the candidates who j desired the place vacated bv Judge BLACK ! two chances for a uoiuiuat ion, instead of one. ! lie says: 'I have beep laboriously engaged in ju- ' dicia! duties nearly twenty four years—a ; longer period of serfice than that of any ! living Judge in Pennsylvania. I have been i thus engaged under three changes of the Constitution. I have aided to the extent cf my abilities in bringing up the arrearages of business, in re placing upon their ancient foundations some of the lindmaibs of the law which bad bceu inadvertently removed, and in maintaining the purity and the in dependence of the Judiciary. I have con stantly endeavored to <iojustie wi'bout de lay, fear, favor, affection or ill-will. I now occupy, by the voice of the people of my naive State, the highest Judicial station in it. My leng career as a Judge has re ceived the approbation of the Democratic : party in tho re-nomination so generously j and unanimously made by the State Uou- ; vention. All my ambition is satisfied. 1 { have but one wish left and that is to return to toe freedom and iudenendeuze of private \ life." ' ' ' Ai! these thirty must have been known while Judge LkwjSs was working for a re- ' nomination, and wo therefore think bis Hon i or bus not stated exactly the real grounds : of Lis declination. lie has heretofore been ; accredited with cot*idruble sagacity as a politician, and if the whole troth had been told, we have no doubt he would have said that, seeing no chance of his re-election, he | did not desire to stand the humiliation of a j defeat. The result of next October will j prove his wisdom. — A Tragedy ix Kexticky. —The neigh- i borhood of Flemingsburg, Keutiukj, was j the scene of a most shocking tragedy on ; Sunday night, the 1-tih inst., some notice \ of which appeared to the last Maysville i Eiglc. Tlie circu'ostances have awakened an intense excitement throughout the ad- ! jiceut counties. The person killed lived a bout s,x miles from this village, and 1 though w 11 to do in the world, was not of j very good repine. His name v,ns J ones Tiber, ami he was murdered by his own ' slave, in his own house, while lying in front j of the fire on the floor asleep. The uegrc was convicted of the act under Lis own eon f-ssion, ami is to he hung on thu I4;h ( rox. lie is not at a'! insensible of the crime,and seems to have been terribly wrought, upon by his late master, and declares that he dues not regret the deed; that he was fright fully ill-treated persouajlv, and was time and again ordered by Taber froui the house, for the sole purpose of compelling his wife to submit to his (Tabor's) brutal and depraved lust; and to this latter cause may be traced the awful tragedy which followed. After ho consummated it, himself and his wife flod from the house and secreted them selves near by in a iliieket. In the morning they were pursued by the neighbors, and the woman, in a nroxysin of fear, when she saw that they were likely to be found, rushed to a small stream a' hand and drowned her self in water not to exceed three fed deep, before she could be overtaken. The man, however, Was captured, and at once admitted his guilt, and wholly exculpated his wretch ed wife from any share of the deed, or any knowledge of it until the axe clave the head of his m ister in twain. Such a chapter as this docs not need any comment. It is easy enough to conceive how these poor wretch es must have been excitod by the outrageous treatment they received from their guilty master, but while the laws of the State in flict almost summary punishment upon them, they take no cognisance of the offences a gaiust them and their oppressors go off scot free. Is it a cause of wonder that such scenes a* this are sc frequent in Slave States? list tier is it not to bo wondered that they u*re not every day occurrences? While this tragedy wis being enacted in the country, another scene was transpiring it. the (.Join t House in town. A yontix' man was being tried fur murdering his neighbor, having first struck him with a bludgeon and 'hen slabbed inui to the heart, killing hint d-ud, id] in broad daylight, and in the pres ence of a b*if dozen witnesses.

His health is suffer ing from the poisonous' influence of the Na tional Hotel; and other causes eonspiie to produce this necessity. In addition, no con fidence is entertained r.s to his getting the printing of eithor house, from the apparent distraction of parties and tendency to new complications.

We have beta carefully noticing t'ue tone of the press, and the people of ti,ij State, siuce the nominations, a cd-find tint they ere received with the greatest entuuil- I asm everywhere. Large an J enthusiast!,, I ratification meetings are held, an J the great ; est rej.'ioiugs are made. We have sever before known the opposition press so unani mous on any nomination. Ail, every one, with the single, solitary exception of the Philadelphia Daily Ami, gives Wilmot a cordial and heaity support. The Nans i, aa but little influence even in I'uiiaUeipuia and we have the ben assurance, that tuo whole American party of Philadelphia, wh-, a few, very few exception®, will put their veto on '-side door" arrangements, ami vote for Wilmot, Millward, and the balance of the ticket. The News is the paper that opposed every honorable arrangement last iaii for the union of the opposition, auu Americans and Republicans, now view it in the same light. We would therefore caution our readers as the Gazette intends to take uli its capit al during the next campaign, frma tin columns of the News, to put tm faith in anything it says, as tbat paper has sever been in the confidence of tiio Ameri can party. No paper abused the American party, at the time cf its organization uior r han the News, uud it afterwards tried to >]ip into the party, probably by a "side door" arra rgemt-nt, >o that it, like the ser pen might sting the one who warmed it ir.- to life.

HAKRISSCKG, Apt it 7, 1857. ME. EDITOR:— Dear Sir: —The item of news which absorbs ail others here, is the sudden a-.i unexpected death i f the Hon CHARLES FI. PENROSE, one of the Senators from the city of Philadelphia. He hat' lutes somewhat unwell for about two weeks with a sore throat, and hoarseness, but wag not considered dangerous. He had been confined to bis bed in Philadel phia for a couple of days in the eatJy pa;t of last week, but on getting better, as lis sup posed. became up on Thursday, and was in Ids seat on the afternoon of thai day, and ih# forenoon of Friday. On tie alternooaof Fri day be w us taken ill in com tuitue, and went!. bis room, and 10 Led, but his ca:e was not re garded :.i serious until Sunday. Ha die.l on •Monday about 3 o'clock, and Lis phys run* | say his disease was pleurisy, itnd infhiuutiou : of the diaphragm, lie was aged fifty-seven; ami in his last bouts he wis waited upon by | three of his soiia, who had been seat for. II i is greatly lamented by tins Senate, and lie will be much missed from that My. His decease , was loißlally announced this morning, in I>o:a 1 the Senate and House, a i.d n.cst tq-pri priato j uddressos delivered in each; and I especial!/ I oommemi the speech of Mr. Thome of !to > llousu, as in t:\ceilent biographical conipcod.- ! unt. This death, as is usual on sll such cases, i materially interferes with the busiuses, and hat j li tie will he done this week. Both the Seatto : and House have resolved to attend the fttaeral, I which is expected to take place its Philadelphia | on either Thursday or Friday of this week.— i The body was taken to tfcs. city this morning. : jn charge of a committee of five appointed I/ the ivoiiste. j The House has parsed the appropriation l.'H; j arid t is now in the hands of the proper coa- I tuittec in tne ' discussion, but not so much as the afford • ] merit bill, or the bill ior the sale of the Main j Line, recently reported by the Committee of j Ways and Means of the House under s reseda j lion of instruction. It is believed it can be ' passed, but it will require time. The Apportionment bill was the order "f the ; day in tbc Ser.ato for the session this sfterfidor; i but the adjournment in consequence of Mr. j Penrose's death prevented its considi fatic I and it is now net likely to come up ag.ua uc i tii licit week. The House has os yet refold J ! no apportionment bill, which only confirms the 1 suspicion entertained fit serine time, that tfia i rosj rity tlvere do not desire or intend ihst I any such bill shall pass. It is believed the Se -1 uato will pass one, bin there are sevsrai knot - ty questions of constitutional law, like'/ to embarrass, and make trouble even in the Sati ate. The Senate l i'l divides the city of I'bil adtlphia into districts for re; ressntitives. sud s this has never been duae before, the power to d-> it is by many greatly questioned. Tl-f tseuate bill gives the consolidated city of Phila delphia only lour Senators, whilst the rifrcsea- I talives of ib.it city contend for five, if not six, • sccoiditig to the number of her taxabl'-s. Tbe • question is or.e of constitutional ccnstrtrcficn, I and various opinions are held. It sea-ros o constitution provides in express terms tl.tjt • ; city or county shall have tuoie than four Fa - ' tors; but the representatives of the city con tend that tbiir city is not within lite comtitß- I lionai limitation, because tbe act coi.soli4a" 4, i l thr city and county expressly declared oiher ! w!sc. These are .e* questions; ami wiii fi doutly give trouble. Yours, >ruiy, SI'KCTATOR. says iLere is a u ' difleicnco between perooverauoe and 0 sfinucy. Ona is a strong iil sud the d 5 .. -dreDg vtou't
