OFA Frontier Wing of the last issue, was
handed to US few days ago, by good democrat,
who informed us that several had been given to
him by the Editors, who requested him to circu-
Iate them among the democrets of Crawford.-
Upon inquiry. we learn that many over their usu-
al number had been struck off for circulation
among the democrats of this county.
In looking into this particular paper. which was
printed for particular purpose; we find in it an
unfair attack upon two Of the democratic candi.
dates Of this county-an incomplete and partal
account of the proceedings of the last Legislature
on the Specie Bill; printed and circulated. as is
supposed, at the expense of one of the whg ca
didates Of this ounty, who took the trouble to
overhaul the journals of the last LEGISLATURE
and we believe to make up the article, which is
"point no point'' affair after all.
This may be considered by some gentlemen as
an honorable mode of warfare, and such as might
bo expected from men who consort with the ed
itors of the Frontier Wing, but the honest farmers
of the county; the democrats will look with sus-
picon upon gifts from source which never be-
fore extended towards them the hand of lberality
and friendship.

ANOTHER ILLUsTRATED
WEEKLY ERALD!
SPLENDID HN0RAVINQS.
Early Life Of the Presidential
Candidates.

We shall publish another illustrated Weekly
Herald on Saturday morning, containing some
beautiful engravings, illustrative Of the early life OF
the Presidential candidates before the country
for their sutfrages next November. The artists are
now vely buslly engaged OIL them. One of these
engravIngs will represent that well known scene
the lite OF Mr.. Clay when he went horseback
with his mothers grlst 10 the mill. This Is very
beautifully designed and will be well executed.
II viii present a most impressive example TO the
youth OF this country, OF the truth that TALENT ge
nius and energy, well directed, rise from the
very humbest rank in life to the great and elevated
position which Mr.. Clay now occupies before the
people of this country.
Another engraving will represent a scene in the
early life of Mr.. Polk, who naive of North
Carolina, and IS represented when boy as chop
ping wood for his mother, and making himself
useful IN an equally humble capacity as that iii
which MIR. Clay was engaged. This Is also another
luslrious example OF the peculiar character OF the
institutions and society of the United States, show
lug how inlnd can rise from the lowest condition
IN the social scale 10 the very highest; and that
there Is nothing TO prevent the very newsboy who
sells tins paper through the Streets if he choose to
conduct himself with virtue and energy, and pro-
prety, from becoming the chief mag gistrate of this
great nation--higher than the kings and emperors
of the old world. This Weekly Herald will also
contain other Illustrations which will be seen on
the day Of publication.
We intend, now that the Presidential contest
has fairly set in, and all the local exctements and
riots have ceased, to proceed and illustrate all the
various important incidents in the lives Of the two
candidates. We shall also give graphic and anu.
sing sketches, Illustrative Of the manner in which
both parties conduct the canvass.

SUMMER TRAvEL-The day before yesterday,
we understand that there arrived in New York by
the Philadelphia trains alone, nearly four hundred
strangers, and probably every day for some time
past has averaged from fifteen hundred to two
thousand passengers. The visiters came from all
parts Of the Union, but chiefly from the South and
West, by packet, railroad. stage, and steamboat.
During no former season do we recollect to have
seen such crowds flocking into our city. Possibl,
the disturbances in Philadelphia have driven to
this metropolis some who would have gone there
Business, of course, in this city, is much benefited
by this great influx Of strangers. The hotels have
been doing an immense business all the season
The shopping in Broadway is greater than ever
Most people do not travel unless they have plenty
OF money, and the ladies want new hats and fash
ionabe dresses when they come to New York
and the gentlemen must consult our metropolitan
tailors. We can speak, too, Of the increase of ou
own prosperity from this cause. We never recol
lect in any period Of our past most prosperous ca
reer, such crowds as now flock daily to aur offc,
| to subscribe tor the Weekly Herald which is al
| immense favorite throughout the country, as !,
keeps every one who takes it "fulIy posted up il
all the news and movements of the day, at hom
and abroad.
| The remarkable cheapness Of travelling is doubt

Gates in the most conclusive way the great prospert
Of the country. People can't afford to spend tim,
unless they are unusually prosperous. The fact il
the country is going ahead in all the elements e
national greatness and wealth and prosperity wit

nothing can stop it. There is such load of steam

A ScEsI IN BRoADwAy AT NIaHr.-One ofthose
real scenes Of deeper tragedy, and more Impressive
moral, than any witnessed on the stage, and
which made up but one trivial incident IN the sad
drama of the daily life of crowded city, occurred III
Broadway last night II appears that the watch
men have recently he'd orders to apprehend and
carry to the /" Tombs," the miserable female out
casts, who throng that great thoroughfarei and as
we passed Park place, we saw one OF them seized,
and dragged away by two of those vgant guardians
of the night The poor creature struggled hard to
escape from the rude grasp of the officers, and much
of her gaudy apparel was literally torn into shreds
in the effort, revealing charms, rarely equalled a.
mongst the most favored of her sex. A crowd col
ected but no friendly accents OF sympathy fell up
on the ear of the victim, and amid the derision oil
the heartless, and the jeers of the vile, she was
dragged away. We can imagine but not describe
the agony of that terrible degradation. The work
of the Destroyer was complete. In imagination We
followed the poor wretch to her gloomy cell. What
visions of the past-what even more agonzing VI
sions of the future, must have hurried through the
waking dreams Of that long, awful night!
We can appreciate the motives which have pro-
duced this effort at the removal of terrible evil,
but we do not the proprlety or justice OF the
means adopted to carry it out: The seizure Of
these wretched outcasts on the streets-the drag
ging of them away to the "Tombs" by brutal men
the sending of them to the Pententary to be
driven to still lower depths OF selfdegradation and
crime-oh this is not the way to free us from the.
terrible evil of prostitution. Why is it that the
city authorities cannot be brought to suppress the
houses of illfame--the chief source OF this desc
lating evil There are hundreds of these dens o
vice and crime well known TO the police author-
ties, and yet they continue open-night after
night and day after day, inviting and wooing hun
dreds to perditon. These houses must be all sup
pressed-and they can be easily suppressed
before one step is taken in the eradication
of this evil. And instead of dragging the miseia-
bic beings who inhabit them to prison cell, let an
asylum be opened for them, to which they will be
conducted by the hand OF mercy and love, and
where they will be treated in the spirit of the be-
nevoent Redeemer of men, who said to the treni-
bling penitent that washed his feet with her tears
$50 and sin no more 20

TEMPERANCE REcREATIoN-PIc--Nrc Clifton
House, and the grounds in that neighborlood have
been the OF several romantic plc-nics, ofate
A few days ago the Sisters of Temperance"-an
association of the fair sex, organized tor the pa
tronage of Croton Water,-with splendid band,
went down by one OF the Staten Island boats, and
held a delicious picnic in the weeds near Clifton
House. A shower happening to come on, they
treated to the pazzas Of the Clifton House, and
there for several hours, trpped it on the hight
fantastic toe,' to the inspiring strains of the fine
music of the band-and all sorts ofdances-wallzes
and quadrlles-all except the "Polka," which has
not yet been sufficiently introduced by Korponay
to enable the beautiful Bowery girls to manage al
its intricacles.
Highly delighted with the charming scenery, the
fair slsterhood who would almost tempt one 10
forswear the "sparkling cup" kept up the gay
scene till late in the evening Immense quantities
OF water were consumed, and il IS said, but with
what degree of truth we know not, that some OF
the brethren who went TO keep order were found
in some Of the quiet corners mixing little brandy
with the water-not much, however, only 4
small drop TO keep away colc."
There were probably one hundred in this party,
most OF them very elegantly dressed women, and
some OF them in quite picturesque attire, and every
little group OF two or three, had its basket Of pro-
visions, for the angelic Of the dear creatures
must occasionally patronize the good things of this
earth. They were healthy and good-looklng-
some OF them quite charming, and all full of life,
gayety, and happiness. They may be regarded, or
many Of them at least as the founders OF the elite
Of the next century, but not before.
Before their departure of the ladies made
quite an eloquent speech, thanking the proprietor
Of the Clifton House for his polite attention and
abundant supply Of pure water, and expressive OF
the enjoyment which the party had received in In
haling the fresh air and beholding the magnificent
scenery of the neighborhood. When the boat
loaded with its full freight of youth, beauty and
happiness, moved of, all the ladies of the Hous,
waved an adieu with their handkerchiefs, and the
party on board acknowledged the compliment IL
the inspiring strains of their band, which was heard
as long as they were in sight
Thus closed the pic mic and gala day of the "Sls
ters of Temperance" but the Clifton House, antl
the fine breeze, and the cool shore, and the shady
woods still remain. This Is indeed one of the mos
delightful places to visit on Saturday or Sunday
The house kept in the first style Of excellence By
Pieris, formerly of the Pavilion. You can 60 down
from Whitehall by the boat for a shilling-get IL
the Telegraph in stage for another-ramble
among the woods or on the shore-then at three
or four get comfortable dinner at the house, ano
return to the city in the cool eventide- refreshed
and happy. Just try and see if our description BE-
not correct.
