The more quietly and peaceably we get
on, the better for ourselves, the better for
our. neighbours. In nine cases out of ten,
the wisest policy is, if one cheat you, to
quit dealing with him: if he is abusive,
quith company: if he ISLANDERS you take
care so TO live as that nobody will believe
him; no matter who he is, or how he mis-
uses you, the wisest way is generally just
let him alone. There is nothing better than
this cool, calm, quiet way Of dealing with
the wroags Ts &eet.

The York Pa Gazette has the foll.w-
ing:
sour readers will remember that some
weeks ago we published an account ofan
erfenSire robbery, committed in this bor-
ough, at the house of A. w. Sterling mer-
chant. The amount stolen was about
$4,000. Since then we have seen in va
rious papers paragraph, originating we
believe, in the Miners journal, at Potts
vile, stating that Mr.. Sterling had been ar
rested in Reading, on charge of swind-
ling. We deem it due to Mr.. Sterling to
correct this report, which is altogether un-
true and unfounded; and to state that Mr..
Sterling has not been away from York
since the robbery; that he has not been ar
rested here on any such charge-and that
he is now doing business at his old stand,
in this place.
"Those OF our contemporaries, who pub
lfshed the paragraph referred to, are re-
quested as an act of justice to Mr.. Stcfling,
TO publish this contradiction fit"

"A correspondent in Trenton desires to

A Loco Foco, in the present accep,ation Of
the term, is man not satisfied with any
thing as it exists; but is in favor of an e.

OF the institutions of the country and sub

which will make him as rich, as influential,
and as consequential as his more induslri-
Gus, prudent, able, perseverlny, and thriv-
ing neighbors, without any particular tai
ents or exertion OF his own. A Loco Foco
wants a new constitution; he desires that
there should be no credits that all debts
should lie debts of honor; that no man
should be superior to himself; that we
should have no medium OF exchanges but
