b. f. TILLOTSON.

We did think tina. in view of the facts ad-
duced by Mr.. Howell, Mr.. Tillotson would
have manhood enough, in the first place. not to
receive certificate to which he was unjus,ly
entitled, and in the second place, to refuse to
present himself before the Legislature for
seat in that body to which he had no right
Would not an honorable man have pursued this
courses. Is 1t honorable for one man Git may
be neighbor) to take advantage of an error
made by the clerk Of an election, to prevent
that neighbor from representing the wishes of
the people? But after all, the power is great
er behind the throne than the throne itself. In
other words, Mr.. Tillotson has been made the
tool Of designing men, who desired to use him
to perfect the organization Of the Council and
nothing else. Will the people of Fillmore
County think any the more of Mr.. Tillotson
for the course he has pursueds Had Mr.. Til
lotson been actuated by the principles that gov
ern the true man, he would have said, when
presented with the certificate "No gentle
men; my opponent has received the majority
of the votes,-he is the legally elected repre-
sentative Of the People, and although by mis-
take of the clerk, can procure certificate,
yet it is not honorabe,--it is not right,---it is
not just, and Ispurn it." Such course would
have won him friends; but he has stepped over
the brink, and if we know any thing Of the
people Of Fillmore county, they will kick him
down to the level to which he justly belongs.

The RULING PASsIoN.-At the caucus OF the
Rice men, a few evenings since, gentleman
who was present for the purpose Of contest
ing the seat of a Republican, was informed that
they, (the Rice men, would do anything for
him right or ,0rong. This gentleman bears up
on his brow the impress Of an honest man, and
we should think would have spurned the offer
and turned his back upon those who made it,
The proceedings of the first day Of the Legis-
lature clearly show that the Rice men have
been as good as their word, but how low and
humiliating how despicable how bvlittling
and mean, to promise man that he shall have
this or that, right or wromg. Will these things
always continue so! Is there no honor in
mans Are we to be guided by no principle

THE LIQUOR QUEsrIoN IN PENNSYLVANIA
The liquor question still hangs fire in the hands
of the Committee of Conference, who have not
yet been able to agree. 1t has been deemed
prudent to add TIVE members from each House
to the committee, in the xpectation-accord-
ing to the correspondent of the Lcdger-that
thereby speedy and satisfactory settlement
of the. question might be effected Neither
committee is essentially changed in its charac.
ter by these additions.
The Lancaster Express says we had a letter
the other day from prominent member Of the
committee who says there is a bare possiJiliit
of the Committee agreeing, but if such al
agreement is had it must be oil the basis of tb,
Senate bill. This the House stoutly resists
and some of the members say they will not ad
iourn until they have a license bill passed =
We still hope and believe the majority of tn
Senate will stand frm-or, If they should yield
that the Governor will save the present lay
until it can be fairly tested.
