Rather susu,elous..-A aeminlseenee.

In 1898 a young man removed from the
borough OF York to Huntingdon county,
and commenced the practice of law. In
politics he had been known as a whig. but
! by some means or other, after his removal.
he volunteered a defence of David r. Por-
ter in letter written to Y York, in which he
! held up that individual as one of the best
citizens OF the county, although he could
not have known him for more than few
weeks or months. This letter was paraded
IN the columns of the York Gazette and
republlshed over the State as the produc-
ton OF near neighbor of Gov. Porter,
and no doubt had some effect with those
who strongly mistrusted the nomination,
and who had thus far yielded a reluctant
support to the Iron Grey" Well,
David r. Porter was elected Governor,
( and the hitherto briefess lawyer was first
appointed Prosecuting Attorney, then TO
some other petty stations, and finally as
Consul to a South American port, which
4
ne held until last year. It's hardly neces-
sary now to say aught respecting the Por-
ter Administration, as the locofocos them
selves would rather it had been blotted
from the records, and have since reaped
some of the fruits Of their sowing, and we
only refer to it for the purpose of showing
how and by whom the people were then
deceived.
We now find this same man, who twelve
years ago volunteered a statement which
he probably did not himself believe in favor
of Porter, IN correspondence with the loco
foco nominee for Canal Commissioner, in
which Mr.. Morrison is made to say that he
belongs to no clique or faction, and had
made no pledges to any one to obtain the
nomination. He claims to be an indie
pendent but humble member" of the par
ty, and if his nomination is ratified at the
ballot-box, he processes his readiness to
serve the dear people with all his might.
Such promises, II Is well known, come with
peculiar grace and ease from the different
factions of locofocoism in this State, and
as we have noted for several years that
straws show which way the wind blows
when the spoils on the canal are at stake,
we should say without hesitation tint the

GREAT DISCOVERY Railroads do occa-
sionaily bring to light something new, but
the greatest discovery yet made has just
been brought to notice by some Philadel-
phia agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
who among the inducements offered for
purchasing excursion tickets to Hunting
don, describes that place as being =" in the
midst of the best trout fishing region of
the State" and It's hotels supplied with the
delicious mountain mutton. Rumor hath
II that The citizens of Huntingdon have
been so much astonished at the news, that
town meeting is shortly 10 be held and
a committee appointed to find out where
the trout are and where the mountain NUT
ton comes from.

AN IMPROVEMENT UPoN THE OLD METHOD
The Austrian Government has affixed the name
of Hungarian leader to the gailows, as pun
shment for his rebellion. This is an improve
ment upon the old method, when they used TO
afFix a mans neck to the same instrument. 1t
gives reason to hope that the ood-thrstiness
of the Government is nearly appeased and that
something like humanity may be hereafter ex-
pccted from it. Perhaps in future polticalr rev.

heads of their monarchs, may adopt the spirit
