Preparations for enormous frauds have been
made in view Of the approaching election in
Pennsylvania. This We inlinaled the other
day, and now we have positive data upon the
subject. In Philadelphia it appears that be-
tween ten and fifteen thousand names have been
added to the extra assessment lists, mainly by
the Border-Rullian Democracy. There are 4, :
900 in Millwards District alone. These facts,
together with the significant circumstance that
the Commissioners have determined not to pub
lsh the names and residences as is usually done,
assigning the preconcerled reason that no APP
preparation had been made for such publication
by the Democratic Councils, have excited much
feeling, showing as they do a manifest design
10 carry the election by fraud The colonial
ton process has been managed principally by
recruits from New-Jersey. We are Informed
that if The attempt is made TO carry it out On
any such wholesale scale as is threatened col
lisions at the polls cannot be prevented. The
people Of Pennsylvania will not submit; with
patience to California ballot stufing, or be bare
iacedly cheated out of their righls.-N Y.

From all accounts the potato crop has been
damaged more by the rot this year than ever
before since il first made its appearance, and
The crop will be shorter. We hear of whole
fields Of four and five acres not yielding a sin-

on low, wet lands. Many farmers say they
will not get as many as they planted.

Some twelve months ago Bethel Presby-
terry thought proper to tender a part fthe.
oversight of this institution to one of the
Presbyteries of the Associate Reformed sSyz:
nod of the South !; a Presbytery covering in
part the same territory with Bethel That
Presbytery has accepted the tender and is
now joint patron with Bethel in sustaining
this Institution. The attendance of pupils
has always been large. The collegiate year
year closed with one hundred and fifteen, and
future prospects are very favourable for q
large increase. The present. Senior class;
numbers 81, all of whom, it is understood
will return and finish the course,
In passing among the friends Of the In.
stitution during the exercises Of its first conn
mencement, / heard but one opinion in re-:
gard to it: "It has done well and snobly.4s
Many contemplate greatly increased facili-i
ties not only to meet the present wants of
the Institution and enable it to maintain its
present respectable position, but to elevate il.
to ground still higher and higher, till it
meets every desideratum of female educa-
tion. What is to hinder the two Presbyte:,
ries, and the town in which it is located,
from putting together their strength, as we'll:
as their wisdom, and lifting it right up:to
the first class of Institutions in our country

in the State in substantial advantages, butI.
can see that its facilities can be greatly in,.
creased. VISITOR.

When round each elm and maple tree
=, The honey suckles clung:
But still love the cottage e-where
passed my early. years,
Though rot single face is there
That memory endears.
It's not as it used to be.
y The moss is on the roof,
And from their nests beneath the caves,
- The swallows keep aloof.
The robins-how they used to sing
When you and We're young;
And how did fit the wild bees wing
The opening flowers among!
Itis not as it used to be. ....
The voices loved Of yore,
And the forms We were wont to>see.
We see and hear no more.
No more! Alas, We look in vain,
For those to whom we clung,
And love as we can love but once,
When You and we're young.

APPENDIX.

The imprudence of evil disposed persons,
who by newspaper articles and in private
conversations, have done injustice both to
the Hon. Mr.. Burlnehamc and myself, rem
ders it necessary that the subioined memor-
anda should be appended to my speech -
"Mr. Burlng ghane in a fair and manly
way, admitted his responsibility for any Ian
guage used in his speech, and discaimed
any intention to reflect upon the personal
character of Mr. Brooks or to impute to
him in any respect a want of courage; but
discriminating between the man and the act
to which he was called upon to allude, he
had characterised the latter only in such
manner as his representative duty required
him to do"
The above is statement made by Mr.
Burlinghame in reference to the passage in
his late speech which referred to Mr.
Brooks. 1t is the handwriting of Mr.-Spea-
ker Banks, and was acknowledged by Mr.
Burlinghame in our presence, and was salts
factory to US as friends of Mr. Brooks.

The affair of the Orizaba and Captain Tartleton
of the British ship of WarsEurydice.

1t will be recollected that recently the public
mind was much agitated by apprehensions Of col.
lison and trouble at San Juan del Norte, based
upon an affidavit made by Capt. Tinklepaugh. of
the Orizaba, charging Capt Tartleton,ofher Bri-
tanio Maiesty's frigate Eurydice, with insulting
the American flag by OBTAINING the Orizaba. &c.
The Secretary OF the Navy Immediately ordered
Commodore Paulding, of the home squadron, to
proceed to San Juan to institute inquiry. We
learn that satisfactory dispatches have just been
received at the Navy Department from the Com
modore 1t seems that Capt. Tartleton was ava
kened in the middle of the night with an appca-
tim from American citizens for the protection of
American property. To this application he promp-
tly esponded,proceeding at once with Capt. Tin
klepaugh to the office of the Transit Company.
Capt. Tartleton, it appears.then visited the Oriz-
aba to ascertain if there was any ground to JUST
fly his Intervention in behalf of American interests;
and soon satisfying himself that there no case
for intervention of foreign officer. he retraced
his steps Immediately. Commodore Paulding's
flag was sauted by Capt. Tartleton promptly on
his arrival in the Susquehannah.a land the investiga-
ton and all that occurred clearly indicate that
Capt. Tarteton had noinstructions or disposition
to interfere with countrymen, but that he
was improperly persuaded TO act as he did by GER
tain American citizens whose names and motives
it is unnecessary to mention or discuss. --Wdsh
