OCR LATE SES4ToR.-Both the papers in
Miflintown unite in eulogising James NJ. Se,-
iers, Esq, our late Senator. The Sentinel of
last week, whose editor retired with that mum
ber, thus speaks Of him.
Abused, prosecuted and misrepresented
at every point and on all occasions, he has
risen superior and in spite Of his enemies
The more he was abused and prosecuted, the
more refulgent did his virtues shine; the more
he was misrepresented, the more clearly did
his life and conduct overghelm the misrepre,
sentations. We have known men to be his
most bitter foes, and when adyersity and mis-
fortune overlook them, he was the first to step
forward and lend them a helping hand, and
hundreds in this county can attest his gener-
osity and noble sympathy. His kindness Of
heart Is proyerbial, and his integrity beyond
question. Ts day he is stronger in the hearts
of his people than ever before, and every ma
levelent shaft aimed at him only serves to
cnshrine him III the affections Of this commu-
nifty. In all the various public positions he
has filled, he has discharged his trust with
honor and fidelity. As politician he has
ever sought the welfare Of his party, and if
he has received honor and emoiument from
it, he has returned it with compound interest.
Such men we delight to honor they are cred
liable, honorable and noble"

s4=The National American Convention,
recently in session at Louisville, Ky, put
forth the following condensed rules Of faith
and action"
l. The Federal Uuion must be maintained.
,. The reserved rights Of the States must
lie respected.
3. The decision of the Supreme Court must
be enforced.
4. The Union Of Church and State must be
prevented.
.. The rights of conscience must be guar
anteed.
G. American interests must be promoted.
I. An American nationality must be cher
ished.
s. Sectional agitation must be terminated
9. Foreign paupers and criminals mus: be
excluded.
10. The naturalization laws must lie amend
ed.
IL. "Squatter sovereignty" and alien suf
frage must be repudiated.
Y. Americans must rule America.
In this State some straightouts have a 18th
rule which apparently reads as follows;
13. To carry out these rules of faith and
action. it is necessary 10 divide the opposition,
SO that the patent democracy, the most bitter
enemies Of most Of these rules, can perpetuate
its aims and ends in keeping themselves up
and Us down, as per side-dOor arrangement

THE INJUNCTION CASE.

The following proceedings took place in the
Supreme Court a few days ago:
Hsur7l L. Mott ct a., Canal Commissioners,
VS.. The PeunSylraaia Railroad Company ct al.
And now, June 6, 1857, cn reading the
bill Of complaint. &c, and on motion of VIM.
l.. Hirst James II. Walton, c. r. Buckalew,
VIM. ". Meredith, counsel for omplainants,
il is ordered that the complainants have leave
TO move the Court in baHc, az Harrisburg, on
the 18th day Of June, instant, at O'Clock,
A. NJ, for preliminary injunction, accord
ing 10 the prayer Of the bill. Notice Of mo
ton 10 be given defendants.
Tais is certainly most extraordinary pro-
ceeding on the part Of the Canal Commission
ers, in making themselves party TO such a
suit, and II is to be hoped that the next Leg
islature will take good care to see that the
lawyers bills are footed by Henry L. Nett ct
al. as iudirjduals, for as Canal Commission
ers shey have no right whatever to set them
selves up as guardians over acts passed by
the Legislature. To Us the whole case as it
stands appears as if gotten up by designing
knaves, who are using the Canal Commission
ers as catspaws, in the hope Of getting last
grab at the treasury. We shall soon see
however how far the Judges Of the Supreme
Court will lend themselves towards resuscita-
ting the dying hopes of the State robbers,
and We shall also sec whether plain law can
be tortured and twisted into such a shape as

"But it is the greatest and most pernicious
folly to vote for party where party is not the
question. to give up to party what was meant
for mankind, in town and county elections,
when the candidates are candidates simply
because they attended the primary or delegate
elections and had themselves showed on the
ticket by their secrecy or shrewdness. The
people sheuld test candidates by their merits
and ftness--not by their party professions.
Then our legislative and county Offices would
be better filed. We trust that more care will
be taken hereafter by those Immediately in
terested, that the proper persons are placed
in nomination, and on failure of that to vote
for the best men regardless of party. IT all
the candidates for an Office are equally gooa
and competent men, then, of course, party
ties should induce YOU to vote for the candl-
date of your party, otherwise not II the
people have any regard for themselves, their
children, and their interests, they VIII cease
following the foolish fashion OF voting Tor the
worst men their party can produce, SIMPLY
because they are the party candidates, IN
preference TO the best men IN the county be-
cause they belong TO party that holds differ
ent views on national questions from them
selves.
We copy the above from the Lebanon Ad-
vertiser. a full -bloeded democratic paper
which seems TO have awakened from its leth-
argy on the subject of party nominations, or
ia other words supporting Tom, Dick. Harry
or the ID, in preference to political oppo-
nent, no matter how unprincipled and unfit
the former may be, or how good the latter
The principle laid down is undoubtedly a
GOOD one for all to follow, and if the so-ealled
democracy will preft by it, we may have bet
ter legislation in future, for there is no dis
putting the fact that much Of the bribery, cor
ruption, intrigues and injurious legislation
are chargeable to members elected under that
potent name, though one-half of these who
voted for them at the time knew they were
destitute Of all honor and honesty as citizens,
and Of course unfit for Legislators. Were the
bone and sinew Of that party to discard the
political gamblers who now rule it, and put
in practice the major part of their professions,
there is no doubt thousands upon thousands
would soon be found among them again who
years ago left in disgust.

PERSEVERING BURGLARS.

LARGE AMOUNT OF GOODS STOLEN.
On Sunday evening" about O'Clock, Officer Glrvin,
Of the Filth Ward Police was duty in Duane street.
near the corner of Church, when he espicd man in
wagon whose conduct he thought to be suspicious.
This fellow drove his bone and wagon up an aDey-wsy
IN Church street, from which he soon sfterward
emerged with bundle in his hand The individual
who gave his name Gerard Hale, was promptly
arrested and on being led back into the alley the
officer Jaw another in the wagon which Hale had
just abandoned.
Becoming frightened the man in the vehicle jumped
out and ran of before the officer had time procure
assistance. Having Hale IN custody at the time, Officer
Girvn could do nothing himself toward capturing the
fugitive. Other of6cen soon being on the spot the
wagon ives searched and found TO ntain "A pieces Of

that the goods were the proceeds of burglary which
had been committed in that immediate nsighborhood,
