COunterfeiters About Z!

Our Borough is infested. by gang of men
and women, who are engaged in passing
Counterfeit Money, and are doubtless flood
ing the County with tito the great injury
and loss of the ignorant and unsuspecting.
Warrants have been issued within a few
days, by N, M. Wilson, Esq, aud several ar.
resls have been made. George Decoursey
was committed TO the lock up on Saturday
evening last, charged with having procured
his wife to pass Counterfeit SIS Note on the
Lebanon Bank, upon Mr.. Henry B. Glass.
mire, in the Market House. He broke out
oil the Watch House on Sunday, and escap-
ed. His wife, who was also arrested, and
gave Bail for further hearing before Justice
Wilson, forfeited her Recognizance. Mrs.
Susan Rose, wife of Daniel Rose, was arres-
ted on Monday evening, for passing SIS
Counterfeit Note on the Lebanon Bank, on
Friday evening last, upon Mr.. Reuben Rec.
ser, in Market street. This Note was pre-
clsely similar to the one passed by Mrs. De-
coursey on Mr. Gassmire. Mrs Rose gave
Bail for her appearance at the next Court of
Quarter Sessions TO answer. John Sterling
was arrested on Tuesday, and held in 5000
for further hearing. other warrants are
out, aud other arrests will doubtless be
made.
The IS note on the Lebanon Bank, which
is evidently Counterfeit has for its yignetie

the purpose of establishing "more perfect
Union," and "to secure the blessings of lib

the objects of the patriots who assembled in

A wholesome AdmonItion.

| The last Lei0isbuTg Democrat remembers
the story of the Quaker who said il man
deceive thee once--shame. on him; but if
he deceive thee twice-shame on thee. and
makes the following good application -
"Fellow Democrats, beware! Simon
Cameron put us once-where Judas put his
master--into the hands of the enemy; that
was has fault. But if he puts us there again,
that will be OUR fault We have no person

manner, inclnes US 10 like him. as man.
But in politics we aie moi guided by friend
ship, but by principle. We believe that the
tariff of '42, based, as it was, upon the same
principle as ihe,eosa;lags of Esssiand, taxing q
the poor mans necessaries Of life high, and
the rich mans Injuries lop, was an outrage
upon the rights and interests of the common
people and we believe that the man who
upholds that system nop, with the light and
knowledge which has been she'd upon it
within tne last five years orthe man who
denounces his fellow democrats, for advoca.
ting that system, as "advocating the scenes
of British free.tradc capitalists" as Simon
Cameron did in a letter to Hon. Charles Sha.
Ter, is anything but democrat. A tariff, for
revenue, based upon the ad ralorem principle,
as the tarlf of 1916 is, the doctrine of the
democratic party throughout the thirty States;
and they have so declared and re.declared
time and again, in their State ana National
Conventions. How then can man be a
democrat who opposes tha, doctrine? What
constitutes democrat ?-Time was when it
was, at least necessary 10 profess 10 believe
and practice the principles of the party
founded By Jefferson, but that time, accor-
ding TO the Sunbury American, has passed
away. A mans democracy now, depends
not upon his principles but the amount of
money lie has TO pay hungry editors. A man
may oppose the democratic ticket three
times ont Of every four--he smay dsnounce
those who adhere to principles laid down
by Democratic National Conventions, as ad-
vocalng the schemes of "British, free. trade
capitalists,"--he may sell himself and be.

THE POOR MAN.

What man is poor Not he, whose brow
Is bathed in heavens own light
Whose knee alone TO God must bow,
AT morning and at night
Whose arm is nerved by healthful toll
Who sils beneath the tree,
Or lreads upon the fruitful soil,
With spirit calm and free.
Go--let the proud his gems behold,
And view their sparkling ray;
No silver vase, or yellow gold,
Can Danish care away,
Hecannot know that thrilling dream
Which smiles within the cot
Where sunny looks and faces CLEAN
To cheer the poor mans lot. 7.
What man poor? Not he whose brow
Is wet with heavens own dew
Who breathes to Col the felt vow,
Whose pledge is deed and true.
The morning calls his active feet.
10 no enchanting dome;
But evening and the twilight sweet,
Shall light his pathway home.
And there is music 10 his ear,
In the glad voice OF his child
HIS vile, with hurried step, draws near,
With spirit indebted.
Then turn not from the humble heart,
Nor scom his humble tone:
For deeper feelings there may art,
Than the proud have ever known.

knowledge of the Judge, offers them 10 the

Poor Logan's dead, no more he'll howl,
Aud rend the air with deafening cries,
No more he'll set for man the fowl,
In deaths cold lap he lowly lies.
How fondy would he hunt the game,
How closely would he scent the air,
A setter known full well TO fame,
The huntman's friend! his masters care.
From day 10 day, from yearto year,
He roamed the wood, he scourd the field
From every vicious practice clear.
In faithfulness, 10 more he'd yield.

From quarrel, strife and pickering free ;
He never fail'd his aid to lend,

Is now exlinct,-i wicked mood,
Man sent him 10 his resting place.
