AN APPLE OF GOLD

The unqualified abuse that is daily heaped
upon the "PEoPLE's CANDIDATE" by party
press that owes It's existence only to the pam
perings of corrupt and wicked government,
cannot but be viewed with scorn and abhor-
renee. Abuse, it is true, is the only weapon
that is left to the enemies Of Gen Harrison,
but it is pOintless and imbecile. The following
noble and eloquent sentiments expressed by the
"PEoPLE's CANDIDATE" is an "apple of gold,
and contains more true and unadullerated pat
riotism, than volume of the sayings of Martin
Van Buren, They occur at the close of COM

GROSS ISLANDER RETRACTED.


That excellant man, William Henry Harri-
sen, has been charged with having recorded
his vote to sell freemen for debt" and this in
famous lie has been published in all or nearly
all of the Van Buren, presses, without comment
as if it were fact not to be disputed, and it is
probably believed by many who take, as law
and gospel, whatever their party Journals tell
them. 1t is is pleasing, indeed, to find one ad-
mihistration journal, the New York Evening
Post, one of the most determined and unrelent-
ing in its hostility to Gen. Harrison, willing to
make amends for the injury 1t has done to his
fame. That paper has published the follow
ing retraction.
"a letter of Gen. Harrison's has been pub
lished, from which it appears that IN our re-
marks on the subject of his attempt to introduce
white slavery into the State of Ohio, we did
him some unintentional injustice. The letter
is dated Dec. %, 1921, and appears to have
been drawn forth by newspaper attack upon
his course in the Legislature In relation to the
same law. We are glad to see, that according
to Harrison's explanation of the matter, neither
he nor the gentlemen who voted with him, were
in favor of selling human beings for civil debt
Will the other papers of the party initiate the
above honorable example? Not one In ten o.
them. And thousands of misguided freemer
will perhaps, cast their votes against the trleC
patriot in honest Indignation at this supposed
violation of human rights, and never know, ol
if at all know too late, that the charge is as
false as it is malignant. Do not these thing:
admonish the Wings that 1t is their solemn du
ty, to greatly extend the circulation OF thei
journals, and thus carry the antidote whereve
the poison goes We leave it to our friends II

Several of the most extensive manufacturers
ef wooden and cotton goods in this country,
have been compelled TO suspend operations for
the present. Others run their machinery one
or two days during each week The origin of
all this difficulty is to be found in the policy of
the National Administration. We must have
a thorough change in our rulers before we can
expect any alteration in The business and pros
perity of the country. Should Van Buren and
his. party be continued in power, and his fa-
vorte scheme, the sub-treasury, become law,
the wages of the mechanics and laborers of the
United States will be- reduced to a level with
those of England This is the darling object
of the leaders of the administration party, Buch-
anan, Benton, &c, boldly proclaimed on the
floor of Congress. The employers and the en-
ployed have the remedy in their own hands,
let them use it when the proper time arrives.

ATTEMPT AT MURDER.---On Friday last an
attempt was made to take the life OF 4. e. Bush
Esq Of this place. The attempt was made by
an old man, by the name of Robert Freeland,
who we are informed is citizen of n J. He
came here last fall for the purpose of settling
some business matters and he spent the winter
in fruitless exertions in eDdeavOuing TO bring
his matters to close. Onthe day above men
toned he entered the store of Mr.. Bush AMI
in the presence of several, drew double bar
relied pistol, one barrel of which he fred at Mr.
B. and snapped the other. Fortunately, at the
moment he was drawing his pistol Mr.. B. dis
covered it, and snspecting his design sPrang
from his seat and made for another room door,
running against an individual in chair he fell
his length upon the floor, just at the instant the
pistol was fired. To this circumstance he
probably owes the preservation of his life. The
ball passed directly over his back, striking a.
gainst an andiron about two feet from the floor.
Freeland was Immediately secured and lodged
in jall.---Tioga Democrat.

RATTLEsNAKE vs. THE BLOoDHOUNDs.---
There is story in circulation, that the Semin-
oles are training Rattlesnakes to fall on the
white settlements as an offset to the Blood
hounds. The Evening Star says: "The story
is, that on hearing of the intended importation
of the bloodhounds council of the chiefs and
warriors had been held in the Black Swamp,
and that one of the chiefs, who is also jug
gler or sort of prophet, named Mico humppy-ti
ti-nuggy, had offered to catch and tram fue hlsn-
dred of the largest rottlesnakes to be found in
Florida, and employ them against the white set
dement's The bite of this reptile is dreadful !;
it is instant death; and the Rattlesnake of Flor
ida is of enormous size, often from eight to ten
feet in length; one was killed some years ago,
with an hundred rattles. What horrld idea of
whole army of these terrific creatures aP-
preaching the very gates of Tallahassee"

The Locofocos are nightly displeased with
the popular movements in favor of General
Harrison, and seek to diminish their Importance
by denomnatlng them preconcerted game of
the opposition. But this will hardly do. 1t
will prove an ungrateful task to convince the
people of this position. The fact is there is
comethipg more substantial in these indications
of public feeling than the Locofocos willing
to admit. The people are becoming sick of
mis- government and are leaving Van Buren, by
thousands. Causes which cannot be counter
acted, are operating to produce the overthrow
of the cabal in power, The revolution is al
ready begun and will go on until that grand
purpose is accomplished No one can mistake
the signs of the times. The efforts of the par
tizans of the Federal Administration at misre-
presentation, evince the alarm and apprehen-
sions which prevail in the Locofoco ranks
The result of the approaching contest will over
whelm them in defeat. Van Burenism approa-
ches its end.---T The Political Retormer

The Editor of the " Wayne County Free Press"
some time since made a large promise ohiS Wing
friends that he would establish, in addition to his
Wayne paper. press in Pike and Monroe. Won
Gers were to be effected in favor of Mr.. Harrison
by this enterprise. the whole eastern section of the
Commonwealth, wheeled over to his support. 1t
appears however, that Harrisonism is in so little
favor with the firm democracy of Monroe, Pike
and Wayne, the whole splendid scheme has been
abandoned, and that the Wayne County Free
Press, itself, the protector and father of the pro-
ject has been compelled let 90 its hold on life

SomnamJultSm Ertraordinary-A Paris paper
tells us with all the gravity due to the occasion,
that worthy inhabitant of St. Omer went to bed
on Christmas eve, full of feast he was to give
next day to his family and friends. About mid
night, he arose in his sleep, went down into the
Kitchen and lit all the fourneaux. About o'clock
his wife awoke, and finding him gone searched for
him throughout the house, and atlength found him
busily occupied with his culinary labors. The tur-
key was on the spit, the soup was smmering in the
pot, and the creams just raising their first bubble ;
altogether emitting most delicious odour. Our
cuisinier lim-proviste, finding all going on well,
went up TO the dining room, arranged the table in,
perfect order, and going to fetch up the soup,
when the wife with great caution contrived to wake
her husband, who on coming to his senses. set to
work aided by his wife, and carefully put by the
dinner to keep till the afternoon. Trans.
