The exceeding [lyl shallow" arti.

cio prcscntcu 10 inc common sense
consideration Of our readers last week
in relation to the mobites Of Pennsylva-
mia, and in reply to the uncalled-for re-
marks of the Tory print in this place,
it seems has, Notwithstanding, called
forth from the sage scribblers of that
paper another labored article, in which
they unblushingly reiterate and prolong
the stale and insulting charge Of "out-
rageous conduct" on the part Of Gov.
Ritner, Stevens, sc. at Harrisburg. 1t
is wonder that our article should have
caused them SO much labor and trouble,
really, considering it was so "exceed-
ing lly] shallow" We shall not at
tempt to waste words with our ,rise and
opinionatcd neighbors to prove the false
position they have assumed,-it would,
in fact, be worse than useless to do so,
especially as the authority or testimony
of a Loco Foco Sheriff, (who, by the by,
refused 10 do his duty when called upon
to aid in quieting the mob referred to, }
with that of others of the same political
stamp,-they consider more ,corihy Of
belief than the statements of Gov. Rit-
ner, Stevens, SC. corroborated as they
are by host Of witnesses, and to the
satisfaction of every candid and sensi-
bic man, who fully understands the sub
ject, without regard to party distinc-
tons.
But to come to the point at once
If Gov. Ritner, together with his asso-
ciates, have been guilty of COURAGE
ous CONDUCT" as is pretended, and
were really and truly "the principal
movers and actors in the attempted d
treason against the LIBERTIES Of Penn
sylvania, how is it, we should like to
know, that they have not yet been in
dicted and held to account for their high
handed misdeeds [? We have never no.
ticed any process instituted against
them-but on the other hand, we find
something like dozen Loco Focos,
one of which, it will be seen, is a Co
vERNMENT OFFIcE-noLDER, arraigned
up before the Grand Jury and TRUE
BILLS found against them for this same
outrageous conduct" The article
which we copy below from late num-
ber Of the Harrisburg Telegraph, will,
we think, satisfy every one on that
head, and will need no comments from
us to carry conviction to every unprej.
udiced mind as to pho were the instiga-

Pennsylvania, and took a prominent
part therein. In copying the annexed
from the Harrisburg paper, we place
over it a quotation from the Republican,
production of yesterday, as being ex.
ceedingly appropos, and adapted to the
purpose. The sublime poetical flourish
which is appended, about "the Home
of the Free" and "LIBERTy with out
stretched wings, fleeing from the land, y
we have no occasion for.
"Those who act in defiance of the laws

self with wall Of evils, to surmount which

If happiness be your object, you will not
accomplish it, BY marrying the woman you
describe. Unacquainled with practical
life, with disposition different from your
own, aud with constitution eyeebled by
ilnprudent fashions, she will he rather
"pretty thing" to look at, than an easy
thing TO manage. Besides, think you. she

a higher sphere. Yes, carriage at the
door, morning aud evening, and husband

terials, with which she will "play life's
subtle game" Yel, after all, if you have
PROMISED to marry her, "go ahead;' for
there is nothing in gentleman, | SO much
detest, as disposition to deceiue a lady i'll

In fine, object in toto to the present
system of female education. 1t is not

other sex will be called upon 10 perform

things thai appertain to them, as Mothers.

"A great philosopher has said of marriage.

lers are capable of ellectins many strange
deeds, we are always prepared to believe,
but that Bravo, with infinitely less talents
aud celebrity should be elected, or chosen,
for situation, OF which, as il appears, his
master was deemed INV orthy. is matter
that seems to require more confirmation.
The EsseX's manifest, shown 10 us by
Capt Cottrell, bears an Endorsement to
this earct-"On The 17th inst. an express
courier arrived here from Mexico, Stains z
that Santa Anna was driven from the pref
dental chair, aud General Bravo elected
10 fill the vacancy"
OF the correctness of this statement,
Cup. Cottrell entertained no suspicion;
an'l when we take into consideration the
well know n fact, thar The present races of
Mexirans hardly recognize any principle
of action but the iumulruous incentives Of
unbridled liceniiousness, The news may
not wear so apochryphal feature.
Generals Lemus and Canalizo are re-
goiaiing about making peace. The for
mer is encamped at Monterey, and the lat
ter at Saltllo. Buslamente is etiuTam-

Matamoras, we need moi say, is still in

NOR oft being captured by the Federal
