Under this head, the Gazette, last week,
has Characteristic article. IL states that
.sSir. levi Agnew, who has been one OF cur
most active and prominent opponents N

High Constable only d few weeks since,
when she heard Of the nomination OF Vii,
mot, determined his course, and voluntarily
recorded his name to The Constitution Of the
buchanan Club.'' Well, if Levi was one
Of their ssactise and prominent opponents,
we never knew IT, neither did his hypocrisy
Of tie Gazette. rs to his joining the Club
on hearing cf the nomination Of Wilm0t,
it is simply ridiculous. All iuthis place
know that Levi voted against Us last fail,
be has frequently admitted this fact, and it
is well known that it was only through SYN
patty that he received sort uf nomination
for high cons;able--and it was only through
sympathy that he has been kept IN that
flee by the " ligs and Americans for tue
last seventeen or eighteen years. Il was
on account OF his course last fall that be
was net elected this Spring-quite mum
Der OF our friends would not swallow him,
on account of his desertion of US in our
time Of Deed. Levi told US, and told quite
number Of others, on the evening Of the
Spring election, that lie had left the Ameri-
can party, and that he was now l4ocofocc.
This was before the Ameriean Republican
Convention met, and consequently il was
not because Of his '.hearing Of the nomina-
tion Of Wimot." it is also we'll known
that in case Of tie vote for Constable, The
Court has the appointment of that officer.
Tie Judges are all Looofocos, one Of whem

to be Locofoco, aud Levi has taken this
public course, (now that he can no longer

headed by Bricaam Young for Governor,

Court Of this State, and who was nominated
for re-eleetiop by the recent Locofoco State

In the Township oR BFoadtop, all ihe
candidates of the American party were
elected except the Judge. The candidate
who was elected is an old whig, aud Ameri-
cans as we'll as Loc1foeos voted for him.
The balance OF cur ticket was elected by
80 majority. In Monroe Township the Elo-
cofoco candidate fer Judge was eiec tel, re-
eeviag the votes of great many Aneri-

for Constable had majority OF 81, wtieh

Judges, who und erstand their duties and
the rights Of suffers, aud WHO are thor
oneh!y up 10 the spirit Of the age. They
should have no lingering love for tyf@nny,
but rather should seek the opportunity ef
accommodating the principles Of the law
to the alleyiating tendencies o. christian
civilization. That the candidates named
will not be found wanting in these great
essentials, we truly belieTe, and we freely
and cordially commend their support to
these Pennsylvauians who wish 10 see
justice administered in that enlarged
spirit which alone becomes the ninete slth
century.
The ticket is thus strong in personal
character and eminent qualifications -.
The candidates are such as no American,
no Wig, no Republican, no irae Demo-
erat SHOULD hesitate to support. they
are accompanied BY declaration Of doe

Tie Apportionnent Bill, was defeated in
the Senate few days ago, Mr- Crabh Of
Philadelphia, voting against it on the ground
that the old City, proper could Rot be OBJ
liberated as a Legislative or Senatorial Dis
trict, and that she was therefore still en-
titled to Two Senator'S Messrs Sco6eld
aud Soutber moved reconsideration
The bill is not yet acted upon. We clip
the following paragraph from TIC Harris
burg correspondent of the Pli!a delghia
Pennsylvania Inquirer:
Upon another point connected with our
city apportioument, there will be trouble,
aud that is upon the Constitutional right TO
distric, the county Of Piiladcl pha for nlen,-
bers of the lower House. Mr. Jordan, who
reported the bill, aud who is very able
lawyer, holds thal The Legislature has the
power to district. Nj. Browne, The able
Senator from the county, has conce'ed the
right IN his draft Of minority bill in that
body. Gen Foster, one Of the ab!est law
yers in the House, has expressed doubts OF
the constitutional power. Il wi!l, therefore,
be very pretty subject for discussion.
