the aristocratic managers Of the Reading

"MAIL ARRANGEMENTS. !"
szEzaszs < szsspEzE


We regret to see any disposition on the
part of few individuals in DanviIle TO in
terfere in LOCAL questions here, particularly
when the democratic part of that county
have trouble enough with similar difficult
ties al home. As to any change having ta-
ken place in the time of carrying the mail
from Philadelphia TO Reading it is all mis-.
take--for it is no,O carried in conformity
with the original contract. But how any
change in carrying the mails from Phia-
de- phia, Reading, or PottsviIla, could affect
the citizens of Danvile or Cattawissa, we
are at a less 10 imagine; because they are
such an industrious and enterprisiug people
that they believe in and practice the motto
of our venerable prototype
" Early 10 bed, and early to rise,
Makes man healty,wealthy and wise;"
and consequently whether the mails arrive
a, one o'clock in the morning,or jiUe CLOCK
in the morning, we should presume an i'm
material matter to them, unless peculiar
correspondence wers kept up between the

These remarks are not alone induced by
an acquaintance with the names Of the indl.

the operations which have been zealously
attempted at Washington City by ONE, who
lends all his official influence to aid the Fe-

would not employ the means he does, nor
apply the epithet Of "a pet contractor. =

The Berwick Censervator publishes the
following pretended extract from speech
of Senator Tappan.
"The price of labor is entirely TOO high.
The Laborer in this ceuntry can afford to
work for eleven pence q day and the hard
money system will bring down wages TO
that sum. Wheat will also come down to
sirteel cents bushel, and every thing else
in proportion. This is the best tariff you
can have, and the only one that can enable US
TO compete with England. The Sub-treas-
ury viii effect both objects-it will putdown
the Banks, and bring WdgeS and eUery
Thing else do,Cn."
We were somewhat surprised to see this,
as we had hoped better things from that
quarter, than the publication of slanderous
articles, which, it appears TO US, they must
have known was "a forgery, as Mr.. Tap

GOV. McDUFFIE AGAINST HARRI-
SON.

The great Nulli6er McDufie--a man Of
the most powerful talents and whose oppo.
sition TO General Jackson was perhaps,
more effective than any other-has written
a very severe letter against Harrison, which
ihe following extract may serve to show.
! concur fully in your opposition to the e.
lection of General Harrison. If there were
no other objections to his election, the auda-
clos and insulting position he has assumed
OF refusing to disclose his opinions to the
people on subjects Of vital importance TO
Weir welfare, While asking their sufIrages
Nr The highest Office in their gift, and the
disgusting mummery Of log cabins and beer
barrels, which would disgrace the orgies of
the lowest demagogue, by which his nomi-
nation has been heralded forth even by the
highest of his partizans, would be quite
eonelusive with me. | consider all this a
gross and conlemptuous insult to the people
Of the United States; aud if a weak, SUPER
arualed old man, utterly destitute of quail
heatons to sustain the dignity, or perform
lhe duties of the Office, could be elected
ffesident under such auspices, should
consider it reproach 10 our common coun-

At the earnest solicitation of large num-
ber of my friends, who arc well acquainted
with my situation and circumstances, have
permitted my name to be brought before the
public as candidate for the office of Sheriff
OF Columbia county, and having done so,
J now respectfully solicit your support l
am aware that almost every individual who
presents himself to the public for an office
has, or at least thinks he has, strong
claims upon his friends, for their support,
and whether those claims are real or unreal,
he will endeavor 10 urge them. Knowing
this, it is with reluctance that now attempt
to give the reasons which think should be
sufficient to draw around Inc my numerous
friends who have known me in active polit-
Ical life for the last twenty years-but the
duties owe to myself and to my family,
ever ONE my scruples, and compel me for

with stout heart and stong hands, and

the day, when Aattered myself | should
be placed beyond the reach of want, and
have secured to myself comfortable living,
But in an hour when least expected, my
bright hopes were, in measure, blasted
by the fell destroyer fire. Three years
since having commenced the business OF
carpenter and cabinet maker, and having
procured the necessary tools and large
quantity Of stock, was defeated in my cal
cuIalions by having my shop, tools, and
stock on hand entirely consumed by fire,
by which last about @l4OO. was con.
sequenty for time, flung out Of business

on my shoulders, and which, if am una
