FRAUD AND CORRUPTION

If the present board Of Canal Commits
sioners should be continued in office much
longer, we may expect 10 see the State
bankrupt--not worth dollar, as all her vast
resources are now applied to the unhallow-
ed purpose of purchasing and bribing men
to support the present State Admins lralion.
This assertion can be proven to the satislac-
tion of every man who will lake the trouble
of examining for himself, ~.
The following circumstance is, in itself
sufficient to cause every Democrat to starlle
with Just apprehension for the safety, hon
or, and prosperity of his State.
A few days since, three Canal Boats ar
rived at the Collectors office opposite. this
place having the name "JoSeph Ritner"
printed on shingle and placed on their
bows, and cleared FREE OF TOLLS by
the Canal Commissioners, from Reading 20
Farrandsyille, and back to Reading. These
boats loaded at Farrandsville, two with coal
and tie other with FiIe Proof Brick, and
going toll free have undoubtedly made very
profitable trip.
What right have the Commissioners to
exonerate any boat from paying toll! Can
tilCJ lOlSO tIO i OlICA Hldll w pay ,tOllJ dlu
| allow the Ritner man to 60 free? Yes they
can, for they have done SO.
This is new species Of favoritism, from
which every honest lover of Pennsylvania
will turn in disgust; and it will bring upon
the Commissioners the contempt of every
| high-minded and honest man.
Where will the corruption and depravity
Of Mr.. Stevens & Co. end! Undoubtedly
umess they are checked by the election OF
Porter, in the overthrow of every Democrats
ic and Republican principles.
Democrats of Pennsylvania, are you vii.
ling to be trampled upon, robbed and pro.
scribed by officers who only wish to serve
their own unhallowed and selfish purposes
or will you not rather raise in your wontec
strength and hurl your oppressors from pow
er? Yes we know you will choose the lat
ter, and by electing Mr.. Porter, break uF
that band Of public plumbers which is now
in Office and striving to crush and ruin al
who will not bow to the notions olSteyehs

FARRANDsvIbbE LETTING, AGAIN
--GREAT CHANGES IN LY.
COMING.

In noticing the unparalleled corruptions
practised at the letting at Farrandsville, we
declared that 'fno honest man of their party
no man whose moral sense was not en-
tirely blunted and deprayed, could support
or countenance proceedings so ROTTEN,
CORRUPT AND HEAVEN DARING"
and under the impression that there were
many honest men who were deceived into
the support of Ritner, we stated on that oc-
casion, that "we would not be surprised if
HUNDREDS who were for Ritner before
the letting, would 90 for Porter now." The
result has gone far beyond our expec tations;
not only the rank and file of the enemy, but
the sentinels on the watch towers, the lea
ders in their army, under high sense of
obligation 10 God and their country, have
burst assunder the shackles of party, and
standing redeemed, regenerated and olsen
thralled'' have proclaimed TO the world that
they cannot support such high handed pros
titution of official power, as was disclosed
at the Farrandsville letting. We mention
as one of many changes, the Lock Haven
Eagle" paper which has heretofore been
a fearless and efficient champion of Joseph
Ritner. Located in the immediate vicinity
of Farrandsville, where, the letting took
place, the editor of that paper had ample
means of becoming acquainted with the in
iquiles practised upon that occasion, under
his own eye; and like can honest Chroni-
cler," prefening the cause of his country,
to the cause of Thaddeus Stevens and CO.
he has magnanimously given to the public
the facts, and shaking the foul corruptions
of his party from his skirts, and the dus
from his feet, has come ont from among
; them, and abandoned them and their rotter
) cause.-LycOn,ing Gazette.

DIsGRACEFuL OPPRESSION.

The Lycoming Eagle says -" We have
it from uuquestonable authority, that every
labOring man eng lged in repairing the Can
al between Huntingdon and Hollidaysburg
who is not for Rilner will be turned off,
The supervisors have already commenced
this dastardly. business, and last week lhir-
ty-ive men, who were too free to be inAu-
enced either by the coaxings or lhreatnings
Of the supervisors, were discharged. This
too when they were advertising that 600 adj
ditional laborors are wanted We saw some
of these discharged hands, and they told us
that no reasons were assigned for turning
them off, but that, without solitary excep-
ton, every man discharged was known to
be for Porter"
Such disgraceful oppression will not 60
unpunished. The freemen of Pennsylva-
MIA will rebuke this attempt TO interfere with
the freedom of elections, in manner which
will teach The men now in power, that The
peoples money is not to be applied to the
destruction Of the peoples liberties.
The laboring poor will see in this effort
TO force men TO vote for Rilner, what they
may expect in case he should be reelected.
Whoever seeks employment upon the pub
lie works must consent 10 part with his po-
liticul rights. This is the order, of the Ril-
ner administration. Let tho laboring classes
look iGs--ReporteT.

POLITICAL.


: The democrats in exposing their political |
adyersaries are saved the necessity of even
Tes0rting TO facts as to the private character
of Joseph Ritner although God knows it is
a verv vulnerable one they find enough in
his want Of capacity and the necessary intel
ligence-in his want Of standing and firm
nessy-in his vacillating policy and his utter
recklessness as TO the public good, In, all his
acts displaying his entire unfitness for the
station which he .disgraces by. being the tool
and caispaw of Thaddeus Stephens, John
Dlckey, Theophilus Fem and such like
cattle.
He owed his election to the schism in the
Democratic party in 1895 and was elected
by minority of the votes of Wolf and
Muhlenberg being nearly $4,000 more than
those polled for Joseph Ritner--he felt that
he had no right TO be there and has deter
mined 10 avail himself of every means in his
powerto prostitute the public patronage and
influence 10 reward his followers and grati-
fy his own selfish ends.--'The whole Can
al influence down to the lock keepers and
ahe common hands, is welded to sustain
the present rotten administration OF Penn
.sylyania, a,--The public money--that con-
tributed by the banks TO keep up their i1fu-
ence, is freely expended by Canal Commits

THE NEXT ELECTION.

Every day gives but ADDITIONAL confrrna.
ton of the immense majority which Porter
will receive at the.next election.
Montgomery win give upwards Of 1000,
Bucks 400, LehiglI 400 and Luzerne 1900
majority for Porter.
The changes for Porter have been so ereai
in Lancaster, that il is confidently believed
that Ritner's majority will be reduced from
over 1000 to 1000 or even less. Travellers
from western Pennsylvania say that unless
Ritner receives overwhelming majorities
east of tire mountains, he will be as far be.
hind Porter as John Quincy Adams was be-.
hind General Jackson in 1923. Western

South Carolina -Mr. Preston VS.. Mr..
Clay and the Bank.-In Columbia, the seat
of government, two sets ofycandidates are
in nomination for the state lsgislature--one
by the friends Of Mr. Calhoun, and the
other bv those of Mr.. Preston. The Char
lesion Courier says, that "both parties are
therefore iR the field, and an animated con.
test may be expected. The friends of Mr..
Preston disolaim any knowledge of the ex-
istenc Of party in the state or in the Rich
land district, OPPOSED to the separation Of
the money power from the government
and favorable to the establishment of
National Bank and to the elevation of Mr..
Clay TO the Presidency"
Thus it will be seen that the friends Of
Mr.. PREsToN,-he. who in the Senate is
the adjunct, the echo, and the."Ancient Pts.
tol" of Mr.. Clay and the Bank, and the
declamatory assailant of ''a separation Of
the money-power GIom the government
in order TO stand at all with the people of
South Carolina, take ground in all respect
the antipodes of their leader. Such is the
force of public sentiment. Such the ''signs"
in relation to the Independent Treasury and

ErtraordinGfy GrottO.--A singular dis.
covery has been made at the Dane, Margate,
of an extensive grotto which appears to have
been excavated about the time oil the Saxon
heptarchy, and which affords matter for
deep reflection, and will probably throw
some light on the habits Of our Saxon an.
cestors. The Dane is celebrated as the
field Of a decisive and terrible engagement
fought between the Saxons and the Danes.
From time to time objects have been disin-
tered which show the deadly nature of the
struggle, including numerous human bones,
notyetreduced TO dust, and even entire
skeletons imbeded in soft chalk, and thus
preserved, as with coat Of cement, from
decomposition. Armor and warlike weap-
ons of the fashion Of that early period have
also been found. The Grotto, however,
which has Just been laid open, does not ap-
pear to have any reference 10 the battle. II
extends 10 great distance under the hill,
and is laid out in serpentne walks, alcoves,
and passages of considerable extent, the
sides being studded with shells, formed in-
TO elaborate and curious devices, and doubt
less executed by torchlight. The discovery
of this remarkable structure was entirely ac-
cidental, and in consequence of some exca.
vations made on the spot by the proprietor
OF the land--Douer Telegraph.
