The legislature has had the apporton-

will have no little trouble in forming the
State into such Congressional districts as
will give general satisfaction. The last bill
introduced unites this County with Dau-
phin and Lebanon in which the democracy
of old Northumberland is to be completely
swallowed up by the whg majorities of
these two Counties. This will never
do. Old Northumberland and her unterr-
fled democracy will never submit in being
thus unceremoniously surrendered into the
hands OF the Philistines.

following BEAUTIFUL extract:
His death has been ascrbed 10 the sad

fa'l or his elevation. ObscuIi,y became his
disposition. He loved solitude and leisure /;

Old man, something of repose which looks
TO eternity for requital. He felt his night
approaching before his evening, and he ac-

and even separation from his friends.

DEATH OF JouN L. STEPHENS, Ese.-
The New York papers announce the death
of John L. Stephens, Esq, the eminent
traveller, which occurred at his fathers resi-
dence in that city, on Tuesday, the 18th
inst. His books of travel, in the East and
in Central America, have justly earned for
him the reputation of one of the most intel
ligent observers and delightful writers in
the language, and they are as popular in
England as they are at home. The profits
Of his publications have been scarcely sur
passed by any other American writings.--
Stephens was forty-seven years of age
Mr.. Stephens himself had accumulated q
large fortune, derived partly from his
works but mainly from various successful
enterprises in which he had engaged. He
was President of the Panama Railroad Com
pany, and his death was caused by fever
contracted on the Isthmus during late Wis.,
it. He will be mourned by many personal
friends, and by the country at large as one
of her most eminent citizens.

The Election.

The great battle comes off next Tuesday,
and before this paper reaches the hands Of
many of its readers, they will have voted,
and the contest will be decided.
1t is too late to talk for effect. But it is
not too late for every voter who sees this
to remember that it is his duty, as well as
his privilege, 10 vote. We hope no friend
OF Gen. Scott will fail to be at the polls and
cast his vote. Particularly do we desire
the Wings of Howard to vote. Important
as was the election last August, numbers Of
them stayed at home. Let this not be the
case again. Old Howard ought to cast her
vote for Scott, and will do SO, if the Wings
everywhere are active. We do not know
whether they are cctive or not. We fear
they are not; and as this is the last time we
can speak to them, we urge upon them to
turn out, as in days past, and poll their en-
tire strength.

think will-lose them again. The very

Lauehable Occurrence at Concord.

A correspondent of the Covington Jour
nal tells the following "good 'un." We
wonder if this "incident" is related in Haw-
thorne's new novel, the "Life and Paintings
of Mr.. FRANKLIN PIERCE"
A laughableiaffair came off in Concord,
N. H., the residence OF General Franklin
Pierce, some few weeks after his nonina-
ton for the Presidency. II you think the
following account of it worthy Of aplace in
your paper please insert it:
At one of the churches in Concord, where
General Pierce usually attended public wor-
ship on the Sabbath, the Clergyman COM
menced the morning service by reading a
hymn from Watts selections, and while
reading the following line--"The fearful soul
that tires and .fdintS'--his eyes happened
to fall on the pew where sat Frank Pierce.
In a moment, all eyes were turned in the
same direction, and Gen. Pierce was pierced
by SO many piercing eyes, that he came very
near tdinfing. After the morning service
was closed several of the political friends of
General Pierce sought and obtained an in
terview with the said clergyman; who, by
the way, is Wing and by name John Scott.
During this interview the clergyman was
accused of Intentionally directing the minds
and eyes Of his congregation towards Gen.
Pierces pew, but the clergyman assured
them that they were mistaken, that it was a
mere casual glance of the eye, while reading
said line. Pierce's friends were not salts
fled with this explanation, and during the
ensuing week there was great commotion in
Concord and throughout the region round
about. On the Saturday following, Pierce's
friends, who were members of Rev. Mr..
SCOTS church, called Church meeting and
proposed TO dismiss their Pastor-where-
upon a vote was taken by ballot and result
ed as follows, to-wit: For retaining the
Rev. Mr.. Scott as pastor of the church, AZ;
for dismissing him, 4; blank 2. When the
result of the balloting was made known one
of the jealous friends of Rev. Mr.. Scott
sang out-"Hurrah for Scott" Another,
probably associating this Hurrah for Rev.
Mr.. Scott with the idea of the coming Pres
idential election, proposed nine cheers for
ScoTT and GRAHAM, which were heartily
given, when the church meeting adjourned
without delay.
