Hon. Flavius ]. Littlejohn, formerly State Sem
ator in Michigan, and one of the ablest Democrats
in the State, is about 10 take the stump for Van
Buren,. A short time ago, bunker Meeting was
called, and Mr.. Litilejohn announced as one OF the
Speakers.
"The meeting assembled" says the Grand
Riuer Eagle, and lusty call was made for
speech from Mr.. LittleJohn. Mr.. L. arose, and
said he had renounced the Michigan Doughface-
couldn't 60 hin-did'nt wish to disturb the harmo-
ny of the meeting, and desired to be excused
This was cooler. The little enthusiasm manu-
factured for the occasion was wrapped in wet
blanket. The plan of the meeting failed. The
faithful labored with him nearly all night and part
of the next day, but to no avail.

Pennsylvania Election.

There is still some doubt as to who has been
elected Governor Of this State, William F. John
ston OF Morris Longstreth. The latest returns are
not quite as good, for the Whig candidate, in the
average as the earlier. We have elected major
ity Of the members to the Senate and House of
Representatives, which secures Wing U. States
Senator, and have also elected a majority of the
Congressman. Below we give the returns for
Governor from all the counties in the State but
two-Potter and Mexican. II these reports may
be relied on, and if the two counties yet to he
heard from give the same majorities that they did
IN 1874, Governor Johnston is undoubtedly elec-
led. 1t is certain, however, that the contest is
much closer than was at first supposed, and it is
equally certain that the official majorities have
red SO widev from the reported, that IT is impos-
sbe to rely upon the latter, especially where the
aggregates are likely so nearly to approximate.

Severe and True.

The Louisville Journal some time since pub
lished little article enumerating nine things
which Gen. Taylor never did. The Louisville
Democrat replied, by alluding to Gen. Taylor's
refusing to pay postage give political pledges, &c.
The Journal responds in the following paragraph,
the severity of which is attributable to its truth
We can, without the least trouble, continue the
catalogue Of things that Gen. Taylor never did
He never wore the black cockade He never at
tached himself first to the Fedsralists, then othe
Jackson men, then to the wings, and then to the
locofocos. He never at requisition to surrender
himself and his sword tt' an enemy, broke the un-
conscious sword over stump and quietly surren-
dered his conscious self, sleek and unbroken. He
never sought to procure the disgrace and death of
an old revolutionary veteran by making before a
court martial an oath directly and expressly con-
tradicted by his own written statements He nev-
er fed like base culprit from the midst of dis
tinguished circle at the sight of an accomplished
lady, who for the vindication of her dead father,
had addressed to him a written interrogat0ry he
dared not answer. He never signed law TO whip
and sell poor white men and poor white women,
at the discretion of justice of the peace, for the
exercise of their natural rights. He never estab-
lished a distillery, and, whilst making quarterly
importations of French liquors, required set Of
pensioned presses to hold him up as the especial
champion of total abstinence. He never drew
100000, from the public Treasury for aledged
extra services. He never, while holding high Of
fee under government, got up company with
capital of nearly half million of dollars, with
himself at its head, for the monopoly of the pub
lie lands. He never had two fraudulent lives of
himself published, the one for circulation among
the advocates of slavery in the South. He never
stood with four faces, looking towards the sections
of the Union, and addressed each section in Ian
guage not meant to be heard by others.

There appeared in the Monroe Democra. Of

,ure Of :. Criticus," to which We make the fol-
lowing reply,

and they will return his shilling, provided he
paid one. and will also pay him for the compli-
mcn,s which he SO bountifully bestowed on US.

s,ruc,lon Of the English Language he is firs,
finding fault about there being ",oo great
scarcity of dialogues and dramatic pieces" and

StraYs.

For the satisfaction of our country friends we
give below the substance of the differen. Acts OF
Assembly relative to- the course to be pursued with
s!rays of various kinds.
1t is necessary, after taking up starry, 10 give
notice to the Town Clerk within four days, under a
penalty of Jfve dollars. Hthe owner appear. and
the parties cannot agree about the charges for
keeping the stray, the matter must be referred to
a Justice of the Peace. But if the owner do not
appear within the ten days from the time Of
of taking up. and 81. days from the time of
giving notice to the Town Clerk, the same must be
advertised in at least one paper in the county
Written advertisements not answer, when there
is paper printed in the county. After the stray
is advertised, if the owner do not appear within
sixty days, application must be made to Justice
of the Peace, who will issue warrant to the Con-
stable to sell said stray.
A neglect to give the notice we have mentioned,
will prevent the person who takes up the stray
from recovering anything from the same The
law expressly says that if notice is not given the
stray or srays shall be delivered up to the owner
thereof without any recompense, fee or reward
whatever. 81
We consider the law an important one, and
publish the above in order that our country friends
may know what to do, and thereby keep them
selves out Of difficulty.

depicts the mischiefi does. The money mar
ket and the currency, il says, arc pun BY i. un-
der the control of MIR. WALKER. and the power
he has under j, is too grea, for any one human
being. The Courier" says:
1.-The absurdi,y Of the Sub,reasury system is
daily witnessed in the carting from the banks
10 the eustom-honse and back again the iden-
lcal dollars and dimes which are paid on, al
the banks to their customers. The loss OF time
and the labor and expense Of this extraordinary
and unnecessary movement ofspecie falls heav-
lily upon our merchants. Frequently clerk is
obliged to stand several hours in order 10 pay
his duties. and must, when his turn is come,
wait until The gold and silver is counted on,
piece by piece, by the Sub.reasurer or ono Of
his clerks II perchance one or more Of these
pieces should not be American coin, he Is sent
back to replace them, and mus. again wait his
turn ere hascan conclude his business. So, in
the case of the payment Of tho semi-annuaI In
terest on the public debt, are the drafts on the
Treasury. We have known old gentlemen
who were obliged 10 wait a, the time of the
payment Of the six months interest several
hours; and we know OF a case where one who
was entitled TO ,hir,y.6ve dollars half yearly on
his stock, was obliged 10 stand three hours be-
fore he could receive his money.
Besides the individual injury il inhicts, i,
is Of more serious injury 10 the money market.
At this time the payments TO the custom house
for duties are large, but the payments by Tho
Government are slow, and the accumulation of
nearly three millions of dollars, most OF j, taken
from the banks, is very serious and alarming
evidence Of The power of The system TO do evil
"The money market. is contracted in conse-
quence. and the stocks Of The United States
fall under the pressure"
! The "Conrrier" then dwells upon this curious
mode Of locking up nearly three millions in
specie, in Sublreasury vaults, when The use of
