A Union County Man. Murdered !

A Union County Man, Murdered!
Among those who were shot in cold
blood in the last inroad of the Border Ruff
fans upon Kansas, was announced " Mr.
CoLpETzER, of Pennsylvania" We are
Informed that Mr.. Colpetzer formerly re-
sided in Union county, where he married
Miss ORwIG, some few miles from Mif-
hinburg The widowed woman has writ
ten home in her distress after this cruel
bereavement-this ruthless murder Of the
harmless husband of her youth-and asks
some of her friends here to 60 and assist
in gathering in her crops and securing the
little property they had acquired since
their marriage. Mrs. Colpe,zer's case
comes home to the public Of this county
with unmstakeabe power and point. An
Innocent, unofending man, murdered only
because a Free State man, and his MUIR
dcrcrs unpunished
Eg-The Democracy of Schuylkill cOun
ty met last week, in the Court House, for
County Convention, when fight cnsued
between the Irish under one Cochran, and
the Dutch over one Hendler-both Post
Office aspirants. After a long contest,
the Sheriff and police turned them all out
of the Court House, when they organized
two separate meetings, called two County
Nominating Conventions, and appointed
two Standing Committee. The Dutch de-
clare they have been ruled by the insOlent
and ignorant Irish Catholics long enough,
while the Irish retort that they will "sell
the stupid Dutch to pay the State Debt"
We wish them both all possible success
in their present mood-Meanwhile the
American and the sensible foreign popula-
tion of the country are consolidating for
action in the manner recommended by
Gen. Cameron in his speech on our first
page, and indicate mighty revolution
next fall
s1-The Buchanan pole in Lewisburg,
long the sole survivor of the contest of 'j6,
having become as destitute of every letter
of its motto as the party is of genuine
Democracy, was this week laid low by the
willing hands of son of Africa. 1t
leaned entirely too much "towards the
South" and endangered The iron intelli-
geuce nerve; hence its downfall did not
call forth a remonstrance or tear from
any of the men, who voted for Buchanan,
who stood around its remains as it was
prepared for the " fire."
LG-We see that Phil. has been in
Georgia at least dozen days, and is SO
enamored Of the "peculiar institution"
that We expect, next news, to hear that he
has blackened himself, and sold out for
servant" so that he might "run init der
musheens." "Aiken and Wordcn' don't
object to anybody's being slave that de-
sires it, but recommend their young friend
not to be too hasty in his conclusions that
way better first try cotton field and peck
of corn, at least a week.
sg~Col. A. X. Mcclure, of Franklin
county, and EDWARD MCPHERSON, Esq,
Of Adams county, are both proposed for
Congress in the district now misrepresen-
ted by Wilson Riily. AS both are com.

done the State some service, We are put

for-pity they can't both gol

s1y@The wound received by Gen. Lane
in the contest in which he killed his auta-
gonist, is very severe, threatening the lock-
jaw and amputation. 1t was sad affair
all around, and Lane it seems to be thought
resented his injury in an unnecessarily Sc
we're manner.

inent pervert to Romanism from the Whig
camp, has been appointed Minister to Ma
