ROBERT nj. TAYLOR. ESQ.

This gentleman, citizen of sold Napier. .
was among the many good men who Joined the
''American Order" under the mistaken impress
sion that it was TO be ''sovereign remedy for
all the corruPtions existing in the old parties
but, finding this a mere trick to catch unsuspect-
tng men, and then TO transfer them 10 the incen-
diary doctrines of ABOLITIONISM he has
boldly returned to his "frst love-" and be has
our hearty welcome 1t was great loss 10 US
when ROBERT NJ. TAYLOR left our ranks and
we hail his reunion with our party, therefore,
as no ordinary gain. His manly opposition in
leaving the amaiganoated opposition, merits and
will receive the praise of every conscientious
man, and will be followed by hundreds of 9th
ers who occupied the same position that did
Mr.. Taylor. He will never regret this act as
long as be lives When such men as Robert
NJ Taylor abandon the opposition and rally un-
der cur banner, there need be 20 fear for the
future Of the Democratic party. Mr. Taylor
was an officer Of the Democratic Mass Meeting
held in Schellsburg on last Saturday afternoon.

1t may be we'll enough to say that there are
some other names on the above list, that for rea-
sons perfectly satisfactory to myself and to the
gentlemen whom | have consulted, are not 5to1g
published. Among these distributed the
sum ofS2050. Neither is this the only list which
shows the expenditure Of monies ior similar
purpose, in the la;r Presidential canvass IN this
State. There Were other papers beside those on
Gov Ford'> list, that were bought and paId for,
and those also VIII br furnished with the proofs,
when the proper time arrives, unless, in the
meanwhile, they come from another and differ
eat source.
Whether or not the papers above announced,
actually received the amounts SPECIFIED, ! am, OF
course, unable to say That, from the necessity
Of the case, must, for the present, remain 4
question OF yeracity between them and his Ex-
ceilency, Gov Ford. But, doubt not, the peo-
plr will regard it, whatever they may say to the
contrary, as Drima focia evidence that they got
the money. Whether they performed the SER
vice required, or not, is another question, and
one with which / have nothing to do.
How the money was paid, or who We're the
instruments used by Gov Ford, it is not for me
to say at present happen 10 know, however,
that large part ofthe amount passed through the
bands OF the officer OF banking institution in
Harrisburg, and that certain very prominent mrn
ia the State were directly and Indirectly con
cerned in the transaction.
By looking at the name at the head ofthr liSt.
it Will, perhaps, br readily understood how 1t
happened that the little packed State Council
which met at Altoona, over which that gentle
man presided. endorced the nomination OF David

desire it 10 be distinctly understood that The
qpnuineness Of The above list rests not simply
uoen the affidavit of DR.. Woodward, which,
however. of itself would be sufficient, but have
other proofs, placing the matter beyond all con-
trovcrsy, ready TO be presented whenever the
occasion shall require it. ] have deemed this
sufficient for my present purpose, and have re-
tanned other afidavits and correspondence IN MY
possession for future use.
In presenting these facts TO the people Of
Pennsylvania, il may be proper for me 10 say
that have done il in seIi-defenCe. 1t certainly
affords me no qualification 10 be the means Of
the injury that these men and their friends must
sustain by baving their venallty and corruption
thus exposed. But by these papers, and Others

dcd by Gen. WALKER, who still regards him
self as the rightful President of the latter
country. Men and funds have been raised
throughout the country generally, and it is
believed the first expedition will consist of
1000 men,. Arms and ammunition, in abun-
dance, have been obtained. Meantime, our
government has possession of the information,
and has instructed her coast officers to per-
NIT no violation of the neutrality laws. But
we venture the opinion that the filibusters
will find means to depart the country without
involving "Unclc Sam" in difficulty
Capt T. j. MAcKEY has recruited one hum
dred "emigrants" in this State. They passed
through Columbia en- route for Savannah last
Friday, from which point they expect to en-
bark directly for Costa Rica. They were each
promised two hundred. and Fifty acres of land
We wish them pleasant voyage to the ''pro-
missed land" and n peaceful realization of
their brightest hopes.

Reliable returns from Kansas confirm the
reported election of PARRoTT, the black re-
publican candidate for Congress-, by very
considerable majority. Many Southern men
refused to vote for RANSOM, the democratic
candidate, because he left free soil anteeo-
dents in Michigan. The democrats have sue
cccded in clccting their candidates for the
Legislature, including Mossrs. JOS p. CARR
and JONI p. MnLER, young men who cmi-
grated from this State. The constitutional

Mr. Boyoe's speech at Yorkville.

On Thursday last Mr.. Boyce delivered
an address before meeting in Yorkyille.
The Eaquiror says "his speech was highly
conservative and appeared to give general
satisfaction" He expressed himself high
ly gratifed at the election of Mr. Buchan-
an, as he had the utmost confidence in the
soundness of his opinions and the honesty
of his heart.
On the Kansas issue he expressed HIM
self having bocn ut first pleased with the
appointment of Mr. Walker But it was
very evident he had oxcrtcd his official in
iiuoncc to make Kansas free State AT
first view it would seem that the admins
tration should be involved in common
condemnation with Walker. But the dec,
larations of the Richmond South, Davis of
Mississippi, aud Yanccy of Alabama, led
him to believe that the administration did
not approve of Walkers course and could
only be blamed for want of dcicison. lie
pledged his influence to procure his reicc-
tion by the Senate. He would not favor a
Southern Party; this he thought was LA
bic to overwhelming objections.

not sock for it. .lIo favored alliance with

Presentments.


Thc Grand Jury for Pickens District at
Fall term, 1851, would respectfully make
the following Presentments;
First. We have examined the Public
Buildings of our District, and find the Court
House needing no repairs except one or two
pancs of glass in some of the Offices.
+ But we have been very much annoyed
during our session, by the noise of foot
steps on the floor of the portico above our
heads, and hope thee Commissioner of Pub
lie Buildings will contrivc some remedy for
this evil. We were also somewhat disturb
ed by the noise on the Court Hill around
our room. \
We found the Jail very neatly kept and
the prisoners well provided for; and also
both Dungeons and one Debtor $ room in a
condition to lodge the prisoners quite safe
ly; in the other Debtors room one or two
of the iron bars across the window were de-
fcicnt in strength ); this should be remedi-
ed. We also found some of the window
shutters very much out of order.
Secondly. Our Committee finds the Poor
House in good condition, and the few Pau
pers there we'll cared for.
Thirdly. The roads in. our District, SO
far os we have been able to ascertain, are
generally in an excellent condition.
Fourthly. The necessity for an Iuferior
Court to try misdcmeanors, such as trivial
assaults and batteries, &C., as His Honor
suggests, has, we regret to say, been most
forcibly illustrated at this term of our Court
Fifthly. We are unanimously of opinion
that there should be a codi6cation of tho
Statute Laws of this State.
Sixthly, We recommend the establish
ment of Penitcntia,y. &
Sevcnthly We recommend the assess
ment of q Poll Tax.
And lastly, We learn that while there
are numbers of poor scholars in our Dis
trict to be educated, appropriations have
been made by the Commissioners of Frcc
Schools for the benefit of persons in very
good circumstances, this We regard contra
ry to the spirit of the law, and recomment
that the Free School fund be withheld from
such persons, even though-it remains to bt
appropriated the ensuing year.
