UNPRECEDENTED OUTRAGE

A young girl from Carlisle, who
came here to obtain employment last
week, was decoyed into a disorderly
house in the back part -four town, KEEP
by black man, and was there mo-,
shamefully abused and ravished, by \
gang of from 8 to 10 brutes in the shap,|
Of men, who had congregated in this
sink of iniquity, to do whatsoever /.
heart desperately wicked and passion,
unbridled should prompt. Information
was made and the black man who kept
the house, and one other, were imme-
diately arrested and confined. The
governor issued a proclamation offering
areward Of ONE HUNDRED nlnI
LARS for the apprehension of ssas4s b
the abandoned scoundrels, since which
we understand, that two have been
caught near Strasburg, in Franklin
county, by w. Markward, & N. Hen.
ry of this place, and lodged injail, The
other two who are known, are thus de-
scribed by the governor.

0<s- The paper, last week, from which we
derived the information of Mr. VAN buren,
having pronounced, at his own Inauguration,
the Valedictory address of his predecessor,
was misinformed. Itseems, by the published
accounts, that the new President was not gull

indeed would be to urge them Gu 10 10 both.
Such course would place them in their true
attitude before the people; and the following
article from the Richmond Wing, being quite
characteristic of these prayers upon public
credulity, we have transferred it to cur col
umns.
"Reduction-that's the aUord."
"The Wings charge Mr.. Van Buren, with
TRICK AND DECEPTION in protesting to ia
your a reduction of the Tariff So said Mr..
Richie six weeks since. What's the word
now. Mum? And did not the Wings say
true3 Have not their predictions been veri-
fed by the result? Did not ''the Party keep
the reduction bill on hand till the last day of
the session, as an apology for voting against
the Distribution of the Surplus: And did
they not defeat both bills, and have they not
now, in consequence of that course, in the
Deposite Banks, and under the control of the
Executive, the millions of money which pro-
perly belong to the people?
Can partizan ingenuity invent any device
by which to conceal from the eyes Of the pub
lie the profigacy Of this system of double
dealing, or mitigate the adherence which a
betrayed people should entertain for its au.
thors
No doubt the effort will again be made to lull
us with promises assurances will be echoed
and re-echoed from Maine to Georgia, that
the Tariff shall be reduced at the next session.
But even if these assurances shall be verified,
of which we harbour but little hope, it will
be remedy which win in no degree meet the
evil.-There is now an actual Surplus of from
80 to 40 millions future reduction of the
Tariff will not affect this. The people are ir-
1 -. I'LL L..
of 'sthe Party to be employed for party ends.
We call upon Mr.. Richie, who has either
been duped, or has wilfully sought to dupe
the people, to denounce those ofhis brethren,
who having the power, have failed to reduce
the Tariff, and have retained in the hands of
office holders the Surplus, which all parties
profess to regard as necessarily corrupting in
its tendencies

GREAT TRoTTINa MATCH AGAINST TIME.
AT Charleston, on the first iRst., horse was
backed to trot sixteen miles in one hour, for
$500. He accomplished his task in sSm.
2ss., having I'm. s2s. to spare.
frs- The "Farewel Address Of President
jackson to the People of the United States
occupies considerable portion of our paper
to-day 1t but family resembles the Fare
well Address of the immortal Father of his
Country. True, like that paper, as has been
observed by the Lynchburg Virginian, ''it en-
forces the value of the Union, and denounces
the formation of geographical parties as the
most probable means of its dissolution-but,
afterwards, it is the veriest ''cant of party
in the purest style of Jacksonism 1t gives
passing blow to NuIlifcation-raps the Abb
olitionists gently over the knuckles-gives US
dissertation upon the powers of the state
and federal governments, designed doubtless
as commentary upon the Proclamation-op-
poses protective duties and the distribution of
the surplus revenue-levels its artillery a.
gainst paper money-and thunders in the u
sual Olympian vein against the U. 8. Bank,
which it untruly assumes to be the parent Of
this spurious currency" But, really, for our
own part, we must view this paper as Mr..
VAN BUREN's CREED, as we cannot discover
its merit to the title of FAREWELL, written
by himself, and adopted by Gen. Jackson, so
that he can during his reign ''sail by the chart,
and steer by the compass, bequeathed," as he
would desire us to believe, ''by the old to the
new helmsman."

The House have adhered by a majority decided, and now twice tested, to the amendment providing for distribution of the surplus. The Senate (ayes26 noes 22) have again resolved that they will net agree to the distribution. The Bill is now in this condition. As it is believed that the ma jority of the Senate is wavering, it is the opinion that the House will again adhere to the distribution. Mir. Clay has again been taunting MT.
