tnJ~ OURSELVES. We have invariably abstain
ed from publishing any notices, complimentary
to ourself or the course which we have pursued
But, at the present time, when the servility and
squeamishness of some, has induced them to cen.
sure us for daring to exercise that invaluable
right of every freeman--the expression of our o.
pinion, it may not be improper to refer to the o.
pinions Of some of our contemporaries. The Lam
caster Democrat, in reference TO the very mat
ter, thus speaks Of the course which we have
pursued -
"THE RioHr CouRsK---The editor of the
Sunbury American has been censured, by the
thoughtess portion Of his democratic friends,
because he will not descend to abuse and vi.
tuperaton when speaking Of the federal cam
date tor the Presidency. Such course as has
been pursued by Mr. Masser canno, fail to com
mand the respect of his political opponents !;
and in the end is the most likely one to make
converts for the cause he so ably advocates.
Many, very many editors, Of both parties, too
frequently indulge in language, when oppos.
ing the claims OF certain distinguished candi.
dRies for office which they would be afraid
to apply TO their hunhlest neighbors and they
may rest assured that il is neither mark Of
courage, decency, or wit, to apply beastly epi.
thets to such of our public men whose posi-
ton and standing forbid the slightest notice
of such filthy and ruere attacks. We have
all seen the wan'on, coarse, and vindcitive
manner in which the private character of Jack
son, Van Buren,, Benton, Kendall Adams anc
Clay has been assailed; and seen il only to de-
plore the decencies Of life violated, and The
| prostitution Of a venal press glaringly expos
ed. For our own part. we believe that th'
! political principles of Henry Clay are equal
| " odous, dangerous and dest struc,ive and t,
| show those principles in the,r true light il

ACCIDENT THE MINES AT PoTTsvILLE-
On Tuesday last, an explosion of damp took
place in the mine worked by Nfcssrs, Miller &.
Haggerty, at Pottsvile, by which five persons
were burned though fortunately not enough TO
cause fatal results. The accident was caused by
the intentional ignition of the gas, course which
although dangerous, is frequently practiced, The
miners, on Tuesday, having discovered that
there was some fre-damp in the breasting they
were about to work, allowed small boy to fire
il, thinking that there would be but slight ex.
plosion. But il appears that there was hole or
ofsett in a working adjacent 10 the spot in which
a large body of the innamable matter had collect
ed and when the lamp was applied, this mass
of air exploded and rushed out over their bodies,
The men, being accustomed 10 such scenes, threw
themselves upon their faces, and the volume
rolled over them without injuring them very Sc
| riously but the boy was severely burned.

A Queer aud Remarkable Trial.

New KIND OF Lovers Sulr.--A most re.
markable suit, and as amusing ps remarkable,
was tried in the Boston Common Pleas on Wed.
nesday. 1t wss an action brough, by Nathan
iel Haley against George B Wiggans and pife,
to recover the worth of certain articles advan.
ced to Mrs, Wiggans when she was Miss Mary
Ann Tibbetts, aud when Mr.. Nathaniel Haley
was wooing her, and which he intended at that
time to be considered as love tokens. Mr.
Wiggans put in for Miss T.'s favors, and being
the likeler of the two won them, and poor Ha.
ley was left without any redress for the injury
done to his lacerated affections but the bringing
of suit to recover the moneys worth of the
pledges and testimonials Of love SO cruelty
Sighted. These "tokens" consisted of presents
or gifts, and certain sums advanced for her be-
netit, and in payment of such little charges as
young gentlemen incur when they give their
iady-loves excursions in the country in horse
carriages and over railroads. 1t is not TO be
supposed shat he rerented of these acts of good
will, these tokens of sweet remembrances, till
circumstances ,ranspred which changed their
relative positions, and left him deprived of his
lady-love, and her the chosen object of another's
affections. The following is the "Bill of Par
ticulars:

II was contended for the defendant, that these
presents were gifts which the lover, having fai.
led in one kind of suit sought by smother to
change into the character of contract. The
jury was not satisfied with the proof brought
by the plaintiff to show that there was a con,
tract, and they could not agree, consequently
the slighted Mr. II obtained no satisfaction from
the law. The case should be instructive TO
young gentlemen similarly affected, and teach
them not TO be too extravsgani at first in bril-
bng the affections of their fair Ones unless
they make a charge of it at the time in their
books
