 daigua, N. Y., which is too good to be lost.- A,number of travellers had stopped for the night at the stage house of a loco loco mail contractor, who like all the SpoiIsmen was very unreServed in his wholesale abuse Of " Granny Harrison," denouncing him cow ard and a knave, and calling him every thing but what he is.
 Directly one of the strangers present, who had manifested a good deal of uneasiness, approached him and inquired if he knew Gen. Harrison. To which he replied that he knew enough about him then ask ed him if he knew any one who was person. ally acquainted with him-to which he re- piled in the negative. "Well," said the traveller, "I know and have known him, for number of years, and have resided in his im- mediate neighborhood, and know him to be an honest, intelligent and brave man. l, SIT, am a supporter of the present Administration and an oflice-holder under Government. l shall vote for Mr. Van Buren, but it is such unprincipled rascals as yourself, and such lies as you have just uttered, which will, ii persisted in, be the means of electng Gen. Harrison to the Presidency" The effect of this honest rebuke upon the contractor, was such as to make him look as cheap as if he had been caught stealing sheep, and the merrment of his guests was not little excited.-Ne,o London AdrOcaie.
 Cannot the editor ofthe Boston Atlas send Hallet, and Rantoul, and Henshaw, and the Collector of Boston, on short pilgrimage into our benighted State! Perhaps the seed which they would SOW here might spring up and bring forth such fruits as it did in Con- necticut, Rhode Island, Vermont and Maine. It he will lend them to us a few days, we will send our own Jimmy B. into the old Bay State to repay the favor.-HarriSburg ChrOn.
 We would be most happy to comply with the above request could we dispense with the services of these gentry. But our friend of the Chronicle will remember Massachusetts is looked upon as Tory State, and nothing is contributing more to remove the stain upon her escutchcon than their present labors here. Much as we should like to sec, there- fore, the great apostle of low wages here, we cannot spare Hallet or Rln,nul for the sake of it. They may take Henshaw in well come.-BostOn Atlas.
 Brutal Murder Gt Dubag,e.-The Galena Gazette of the 9th, gives an account of the brutal butchery of negro man suspected of stealing. The victim was dragged from his house, tied to a post, and 300 lashes given on his bare back. The poor creature was made to confess in such manner as to contradict himself, which gave the tiends an opportuni- ty to continue their merciless cruelties, until his back was literally .fayed. After this the mob forced him to conduct them to place where, in his endeavor to mitigate their cru cities, he had said the goods were concealed; but they not being found, thirty mine uddi- tional flashes were laid on his feshlcss back. He was then dragged up the stairs of his house, and another whipping laid over his raw and quivering back. They afterwards dragged him to bluff, where he had said the goods were, and not finding them they continued their shocking cruelties until life was extinct, and tho miserable and ill.fated creature was brought to his house cold in- animate corpse, with his back Jroken, and has ribs and sides 0U St0re in The humanity of the mob, after death had relieved their vic- tim, may be inferred from the fact, that they brought him upon TWO POLES to his house
