Col, WILLIAM sEARIGHT.

| Some weeks since Mr.. Hugh Graham, pub
Il;sbed an article in the Uniontown Whig paper,
containing a number of charges against William
Searight, the candidate of the Democratic party
for Canal Commissioner, and q letter said to
have been written by Mr.. Searight, in February
1S41, to a certain Hugh Keys, is published
Herewith. In this letter, if it is true, Mr..
Searight states:
% But as was gilty of forgery by sining your
name TO his note and the penitentiary Staring
me in the face thot bast to release you from
the bank and have taken all the responsibility
on my self but if ever 1 do such an act again
Dam me-.
The charges preferred against Mr.. Searight
have been REFCTED so conclusively as to vim
dicate him entirely, and the odium of FALSE
HOOD has been stamped on the front of Mr.
Graham, who must 1Crithe and grOdn under its
effects The letter remains, either to plague the
inventor, or, if true, to crush the hope we en-
tertain for the election of Col. Searight.
The Bedford Gazette says " that if the whole
affair is not cleared up, Mr. Searight will be de-
feated, and that his name shall be taken from
the head of that paper" The letter is likely
to be disproved However, the Gazette is right,
and if sufficient evidence is produced to prove
the letter forgery, tbei g is no man ready to do
more to promote the election of Col. Searlght
than its editor Gen. Bowman. The present
position of the Gazette will be sustained by all
honorable, high-minded men; while the fact OF
the editor not allowing his democracy to lead
him into the support of dishonest person, (lf
Searight is proven so,) speaks for him to the
good sense of every honest-hearted man. 1t
were well if every journalist would do likewise ;
corrupt and base men would then be taught to
know that there are considerations which rise
above mere party allegiance, and the character
of the State. the dignity of the Republic, the
purity of Party, and the worth of the citizen,
would be increased not diminished.
If the letter is true, and we doubt it, there
could be no expectation of victory so far as Mr..
Searicht is concerned, and in that event we fall
not nobly, but ike Lucifer. Our position is
this. We hope the letter may be proven false IN
svery particuIar-we trust for the good of the
party TO hear from Mr.. Searight himself, so soon
as he RECEIVERS from his illness, whether the let
ter is a forgery or mott it is foTge! he can be
elected by a majority of twenty thousand-yit
is true he will be defeated by twice that amount
and his flag shall not float from the mast head
of the Sentinel for the reason that prefer
honor to victory-moral rectitude and defeat to
dishonor and success.

nsa. Long, long ago, when the editor Of this
paper was about as large rs big piece of chalk
and had TO stand on a chair to reach the case, he
was instructed in the art of printing by JAS. F.
Campbell, Esq, in the NountdineerSofice in this
place. Since then changes here taken place-we
have sprouted up n little out of our boots, be-
came good sized chunk of a man and taken
charge of that same old paper, under another
name, however, 1--WE wish it never had been
changed whilst friend Campbell has been push
ing himself up the ladder of fame in the ''Smo-
ky City, and is at present connected with sew
eral gentlemen in the publication of that nice,
neat, sweet, and popular democratic journal,
the Pittsburg Union. He, and one of his asso-
ciates, Jno. NJ. Irwin, Esq, left the smoke and
SCOT and came up to the mountains this week to
enjoy the pure air, and remained in town sever
al days. They came into our sanctum yester-
day morning just we had finished putting a
regalia, and we took them around to the
sights. They are highly pleased with the vii
lage, the scenery, climate, &C., and say this is
great country. No doubt of it. And We took
a last lingering look at them yesterday evening
as they left for their home and hoped they may
enjoy health, happiness and prosperity.

There is not more pleasant village in the

and as cold as ice-the roads good-a pretty
village-streamsa abounding with fsh-woods Full

.Every bush with natures music rings,
And every breeze bears health upon its wings.
'Tis pleasant 10 enjoy life in such a retreat
from the cares of the world amid the charms OF
such a spot, and far from the tumult and the
throng of men to view the solemn grandeur OF
the scene Our town, at present contains 9
number of visitors from Philadelphia, Lancas
ter, Harrisburg, Pittsburg, &C., and all unite il
their admiration of its beauties, its situation
its climate, and feel their health improving here
where they can breathe the fresh and uncorrup
ted air. We cannot commend too greatly, tn
healthiness of this country, and when tn
central railroad, distant from seven miles
is completed, and the plank road to it is con

Capture OF Another American Fishing
Schooner.
BosToN. July q

BOSTON, July "a.
A dispatch received in this city this morning,
from st. Johns, n. B., states that Her Majesty's
steamer Netley has captured and brought into
that port the Schooner Haydes, of Lubec Maine
in violation of the new construction of the treaty
of 1918.
The Haydes was captured in Bay of Fundy'
on the Goth inst
The New Brunswick papers comment with
considerable severity on the Webster dispatch.
The New Brunswicker of the 22d says thai
the United States Government will make an ST
tempt to obtain a modification of the strict let
ter of the fishery treaty, but failing in that
they will then offer as an equivalent, reciprocity
in certain articles of domestic growth The
New Brunswicker thinks that the American Gov
ernment will make great noise about the rigid
enforcement of the fishery treaty, bat they ieei
confident it will not frighten John Bull out Ct
his present position.
The ST. John Morning News says, that sefi-
Gus troubles between the two Governments arc
anticipated, consequent upon the strict interPfe-
tation of the fishing treaty, by Earl peru!
Government 1t is not at all improbable 'n'
News thinks, that the determination of the Dri'-
ish Ministry to enforce the treaty has oeeh 'O.
ceiyed with view to the success of the nesoN
alton for reciprocal free trrde.
The report gains currency, that the 'h',.

ANOTHER wHIG AND ''FANCY POLITICIAN GONE,
We received yesterday, and shall publish very
soon. an interesting sketch of speech of George
W. Purkins, esq, an able, eloquent, and inau-
entail whig, who, before a very large democrat
ic NEE ting in Halifax county, repudiated Gen
Scott and avowed himself for Pierce and King

The n. Y. Tribune advises its friends not t.

"Nould / Were with Thee
PARODY.

7
Would that my form had locomotive power,
No longer here my heavy heart would be,
Whate'er my lot, oer land or sea,
Would / were from thee eternally.
Would were from thee, when in peevish fret
ting,
Thy lazy limbs are on the sofa thrown;
While | from morn till evening sun am sweating,
And all the dimes claimed by thee alone :
While foolish dreams thy thoughts employ
About some coxcomb, rake ortOy.
Would Iwere from thee, when no longer feigning,
might enjoy a laugh without sigh
When thy blue lip pours forth its mad complain
ing,
And angry tears are forced from out the eye.
When all is and words below,
Would were far as | could go.
Would were from thee when my head is aching,
And when my ears are singing like bee
Or when in crowds thy careless voice is making
Ounce of thee and something worse of me.
In joy or Jail, by or shore,
Would were with thee neuer more.

On the outside of the paper will be found an
interesting article ON the subject of the Fish
cries" The capture of another vessel, belong
ing to American citizens, is somewhat ominous
and the construction placed upon the treaty OF
1918, by the Derby Ministry, may if persisted
in lead to difficulties That the United States
will maintain their rights under the treaty, we
do not doubt, and if we should have a little fight
about few fish, John Bull will get licked
that's all.
