TNt Case of Moses y Beach New Cotton NH
The German Vote-A New Political Scheme, &c.
The recent application to the Executive of this
State, by one of Moses Y. Beaeh's sons and his
attendant counsel, does not appear to meet with
any favor. i learn from high authority that the
affidavis stating the Indictment, as found by the
Grand Jury of Lehigh county, had been obtained
by Wall street spectators with view oil extortins
money from Moses Y Beach, has been fully IN
vestgated. The result, so far from having Inc
slightest foundation, stamps the whole proceedings
as base attempt 10 throw odium on responsible
and high. minded public officer, in order to quash
the criminal proceedings pending against Mr.
Beach Admitting the Lehlgh Couay Bank
money now worthless, should be redeemed by
apy arrangement on the part OF those interested IN
lis fraudulent issue, such course does not destroy
the intent of the parnes 10 defraud the public, as
no Ioubt eX sis that the Institution was merely a
lender 10 the financial schemes of the former pub
Usher of the New York Sun, aud that most Of its
issues were confined 10 The shaving shop adjoining
that publication office, and loaned TO nesdy me-
chanics 10 pay off their woTkmen.
The machinery of our new cotton factory Is
heipg arranged under the supennte ndence OF Mr.
Simeon Briggs, OF Salem, Massachusetts, gentle
man every way qualified by extensive observation
and experience. This new element of industry
will give employment 10 two hundred and seventy
five hands, Two hundred of whom will be females.
The factory il one Of the first class, aud will have
eight thousand one hundred and niney-two nng
smpdles, aud three hundred looms, driven by d
high pressure vertical beam engine, of one hun
ord and sixty horse power. The whole, when
finished, will reflect great credit on the perse-
yeTance Of a few gentlemen who induced its cree
fion, and on the builders, Messrs Holman and
SimoDs, az well as on the masons, Messrs, Me-
Gala ana Bell, whose work on this building will
compare fayOrably with any in the country.
The work on The gas works, which had been
suspended, has been resumed. The contractors
now promise Us The much de sired light IN sixty
days. his will be a valuable auxiliary TO give
life and business during the session of the Leglss
ture, provided the Town Council will open their
hearts, and light Up the main streets and thorough
fares, which Is suggested with all due Difference TO

movement Is IN embryo, with extensive ranii-
hcations amoDg our adopted citizens of German
extinction, the fountain.h ad being in your city,
Tor the oTgaBIzhilon of distinct political element,
al the neat Presidential ele cton. One of the lead
els in this design, declares the intention of this
body 10 be- notbDg less than presentation in the
Senate Of the United States of oae-lhird, or ne
remarked, of twenty-five members, with their
balance ysie 10 be thrown into The scale in Con-
gresslonal districts, wherever either party would
nominate candidate for the " Faderland." This
scheme is not idle one, Is II IN the hands of
men destitute Of abiliy-on the contrary, il has
many support, rs whose talents and political saga
cly are looked up 10 as guide by their country
men. The Intrigue for this vote, by some OF the
viii have tendency 10 revive The Native Ameri-
can organization with ten-fold iorce. IL is To be
hoped that the good sense of the majority of our
adopted q liens will keep them aloof from any
pollpcsl organization, which would weaken their
fesliy 10 the constitution and laws they have sworn
10 defend, and which guarantees and confers on
all classes of citizens, both native and adopted,
the same rights and privileges, aud recognizes
such distinction as this movement would inevitably
produce
The prospects of the wings in the next campaign
appears 10 be slight. They have lost the prestige
OF the name OF General Taylor, around which a
number II independent democrats rallied in sufl-
Client force tn carry The State the independent
ticket Since the Presidential campaign, The wings
have fallen back their old party organization,
called their convention as wings, in Phiadel-
pbid, and nominated a full State ticket, kick
ing out without any compunctons of con-
science, the indepepdent leaders who could not
consistently take part IN their convention. The
result, by this suicidal management, will be dis
played in overwhelming defeat on the State
ticket, and large democratic majority in both
branches Of the Legislature. SUsQUEuASNA.
