The balance of our ticket was elected by

of the ticket, and the American candidate
for Constable had a maj 'rity of 57, which

' 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

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

"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

termined, however, that, no removal of the
present incumbent* shall ihe place, ex

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

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. Ail ibis
was proved clearly and beyond any sort of'
dispute—the first word, the blowy fit • stab
and the tieatu. And y. ; ; this una w.i.s de-

Apple ton will probably withdraw from flic
Union in a short tune. His health is suffer

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. This failure with others, is
not considered auspicious for the starting

to succeed to his post, but opposition threat

HOW TILE NaxHNATIONS ARE
RECEIVED.
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. Our people in this County, an
well enough acquainted with the past course
of that sheet to render these few remarks

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.
