..The More the McrrieT."

On the republican or anti Buchanan or anti
non intervention, or Douglas, or Topeka, or
anytOing else that youm call it, side Of the
Kansas question, are five newspaper organs in
Washington county; viz: the Reporter, the Com
monwealth, the Tribune, the Republican and
the Review whilst the ExAMINEE is the only
one that islands by the President and his
cause. WE'LL gentlemen, come on with your
canister and grape, your flying artillery, your
light infantry and Dragons; come with your
regular engagement or in the most approved
guerilla style; come in any way, or every way
as best answers your purpose and you will find
US ready to meet you and do battle for the DEM
ocratic cause. The flag under which ge fight
is the same that it was in the engagement Of
'5G, borne aloft by the same noble BUCHAN-
AN, and inscribed with the same motto-De-

A ROMANTIC GIrsEY SToRY.--A story is
afoat and some gossip has been occasioned in
Cumberland county, Pa, by the following cir
cumstances:
Mr. George Fry. Of Shippcnsburgh, married
a gipsey girl, belonging TO gang who were
haunting the neigl.borhood, about three years
ago. The gipsoy girls father was so enrased
at this that he kidnapped her, and sent her to
parts unknown. Mr. Fry mourned her loss
two years. and then married again. But, says
the Shipponsburgh News: Last week Mr. Fry's
FIRST witd-his gipsey wife-in company with
"Geo. Fry the second" arrived in this place
in search OF him! BY the assistance Of officer
Shade, she was successful in finding him.
Limited space forbids us from entering into
details, at this time. of the ezcruc;ating sufar-
ing Mrs. Fry has undergone since her depar-
ture from this place. The intelsencer OF her
husbands second marriage was severe shock
to hcr, ,tbut She emphatically declares he exciu
sve right to him. 1t appears, by the wat' that
Mr.Fry's second wife WAS "a widow" that her
husband went to California some years ago,
and, soon after arrival there, it was rumored
that he was murdered. A few weeks since q
letter was received from him by her, we have
been informed, in which he states that he will
return in the next steamer, &c. What the
faa's Of this romance will be is beyond the pow
er OF human ken.

"Old Hickory" "old Buck"

Those who are old enough, can well remem-
ber the thrilling political times incident to the
ranoval Of the government depoSites from the
Bunk Of the United States. When that noble
Roman Andrew jackson, had determined that
the deposites should be removed: when he dis
missed his Secretary Of the Treasury, William
j. Duane; when committees Of Democrats made
pilgrimages to the seat of government to dis
suade the President from his purpose; when
Democratic meetings were called in all parts Of
the country to express popular sentiment a
gainSt that which it was believed would entail
ruin upon the country; when Democratic press
es, too, raised their voice against the measure;
we say when such state of things as this ex-
listed, it was truly great crisis with the Dem
ocratic party. But, Jackson stood firm, and
those who had condemned him, afterwards dis
covered that he was right, and were ashamed of
their own conduct We predict that similar
will be the case in regard to President Buchan-
an and those Democrats who have deserted him
on a vitality important question. "Old Ilick-
ory' said, ren,oUe the deposites, and the people
sustained him. "0ld Buck'' says, admit Kansas
into the Union, and as sure as the people are
Democratic, he, too, will be triumphantly suS-
tanned Wash. (Pa.) Examiner.

HoLLowAY's OINTMENT AND PILLs-Cough
sore throat, bronchitis, asthma, tghtness OF the
chest and pain in the LEFT side, the precursors
and accompaniments of Consumption are rap
idly sublued by the regular application of the
Ointment after warm fomentaton of the throat,
chest and side. There is no preparation in en-
iStence which passes so quickly from the sur
face to the diseased and irrtated members EN-
ploy in the Office ofrcspiration. Ons or two
applications will sometimes restore the voice
which has been reduced 10 a husky whisper ty
cold, and enable the gasping victim of asthms
to respire freely, regularly, and without pain.
A few doses ofthe Pills by prompting the gen
eral health OF the system, minister to the periec-
ton and perlnansncy Of the cure. Beware Of
advertisements.

Our readers remember the trial, conviction
and sentence, at the United States Court in
Clevelrnd, of Charles Albaush, Of Mount Gilead,
iorrobbing the mail The Columbus Gazette
gives the lollowing:-
Charles Albaugh is only twenty years Of age,
and the events Of the past few months will fill
an important chapter in his LIES history. On
Christmas day he elorod with his landlords
daughter, Miss German, in her sixteenth year.
went to Alexandra, Pennsylvania, and was
married. An effort was made to keep the alfau
secret, but it was discovered by the girls par
onts, who were highly inc2nsed by their daugh-
ter's imprudence.
/, On the 38th of January, Mr. Prcntiss, tbs
U. S. Mail Agent, arrested Albaugh upon g
charge of robbing the mail. He was taken tc
Cleveland, tried, convicted and sentenced beor
the United States Court, and upon reaching
Cardington, on his way to the penitentiary, the
young wife came aboard the cars to bid farewell
TO her convict husband The meeting was q
painfully affecting one, She begged him to keeI
up his spirits, to make firm resolve to do hi,
whole duty while prison She vowed to stick
to him though all the rest Of the world should
torsaLe him; for said she, "Charley we are both
young; we have years Of happiness in store ioI
u.s. and when your time has expired, we can &C
to some other land where the offence will moi
be known, where we can live happily together
aud earn an honest livelihood"
The poor girl neryed herselfup to the task
and as she wiped the tears away from the checks
she never whimperrd.
The car was full Of passengers, who witness,
ed the scene with fearful emotion. The con.
ductor who at the request of the officers, had
kindly delayed few moments, to give the young
couple an opportunity of meeting each other, al
last noticed them that he could delay no longer
and the whistle gave notice that the cars were
about starting. "Keep up your courage like 8
man, Charley" said the fair heroine, and as she
kissed his cheek, she turned to leave him, but
overpowered by her feelings that she had thus
far kept under control, she fell fainting into the
arms of the bystandcrs, who carried her gently
INTO the station house, and the cars rolled oveI
the rails with increased speed, to make up fol
the detention.
Rather a sad honeVIuOol.

ODeying Instructions.

The Tennessee Legislature have instructed
Senator Bell, in the most emphatic manner, to
vote for the admission Of Kansas with the Le-
compton Constitution. Senator Bell has inti-
mated very broadly that he intends to disobey
these instructions. The whole tribe Of Black
Republican editors and correspondents are de-
lighted at this proof the independence Of o
Southern Senator.
The Ohio Legislature passed some milk and
water resolutions, which some say instruct Sem
ator Pugh to vote against Lecompton. A ru-
NOR that Senator Pugh intended to initiate Bell,
and vote as he pleased, has thrown these gen
tlemen into violent spasms. 1t makes great
deal Of difference with some people whose OK

Mind what You sa, Before CALI

1t is always we'll to avoid saying anyt thing that
is improper, but it is especially so before childn
and here parents, as well ~ others, are oftoa
in fault. Children have as many ears ss grown
persons, and they are generally more atentifs
to what is said before them. What they hear
they are very apt to repeat; and as they have no
discretion, and not sufficient knowledge Of the
world to disguise anything, it is generally found
that children and fools speak the truth" ~.
See that boys eyes glisten while you speak
Of neighbor in language that you would not
have repeated. He does not fully understand
what you mean. but he will remember every
word; and it viii be strange ifhe does not CAUSE
you to blush by the repetition.
A gentleman was in the habit of calling It Q
neighbours house, and the lady had always en-
pressed much pleasure IN seeing him. One dayi
just after she had remarked to him her happi.
ness from his visit, the little boy entered As
room. The gentleman took him on his knee
and asked:
" Are you glad to see me, .Georgef"
No, Sir" replied the boy.
" why not, my little man?'' -,
" Because mother don't want you to eome,~
said George. ~
Here the mother looked dsggers at her little
son, and her face became crimson. But he saw
nothing.
Indeed; how do you know that7'' -,

that old bore would not call again.
The gcntleman's hat was soon in requisition.
and he left with the impression that great is
the TRUTH and it will prevail"
Another child looked sharply in the face Of q
visitor, and being asked what he meant by il.
replied:
:" wanted to see il you bad drop in yodr
eye; have heard mother say that you often

A boy once asked his father who ii was listd
next door TO him and when lie heard the name,
; inquired if he was fool.
No, my little friend, he is not fool but
very sensible man. But why did you ask the

A TEN STRIKE.

Great efforts were made to get up an anti
LecomptOn meeting in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, on
Saturday, the 9Th inst. Distinguished gen.
tlemen were announced as having positively
promised to attend, and make war upon Dem
ocratic administration. Among the gentlemen
thus announced was Hon. John A. Corwin, of
Urbanna. How much Mr.Corwin sympatRiEed in
this movement to break down the Democratic
party by parcel ofdisappointed office seekers,
may be seen by reading the following CORES
pondence. We would think that Mr.. G. would
not again be invited to address an antiLecomp-
ton Democratic meeting, or that his name will
be placed in the posters as having promised
ito be positively present"

Hon. JOHN A. ConwIN, Urbana, O.--Dear
Sir: We ege directed by u number of the Dem
ocrats OF this county to invite you to be present
and address an Anti Lccompton meeting, to be
held at this place on Saturday, the 9Th of March
next.
We have been compelled to take this course
in selfdoiGnse few Of the Lecompton men
have issued call or a meeting on the 18th Of
March, intending to crush out the Anti lie
compton sentiment if possible and particularly
to influence our Representative in Congress to
vote for the admission Of Kansas with the lie.
compton Constitution. Hon. John X. Miller
has just returned from Washington, and has no
doubt undertaken to put the matter through
here. A large majority of the Democrats OF
this county are opposed to the Kansas policy Of
the Administrations and are determined that
their sentiments shall not be miSrepresented at
Washington. Hence it is that our meeting has
been called as above stated. The Lecompton
men are determined to slaughter us and we are
fully rosoSed to give them a fight. We have
issued our posters, and have stated within tint
yo@ ,0tN P2sit'grly be present.
We earnestly request as q great favor that
you attend. We must not fail in the effort now
being made to keep right.
Please advise us by telegraph whether you
can be with Us. Yours in haste.

MURRAY, LAxMAN s. KEMP's FLoaIDA WA
rER.--It,s strange thing that this fine perfume
manufactured in New York for twenty years,
for the South American and West Indian mar
ket. and esteemed by the entire population OF
Spanish America, above all other fragrant waters
should only recently have been introduced into
this country. The eagerness with which our
fair countrywomen have adopted IL proves that
the Spanish ladies who prefer it to Eau do Co.
lpgne, only place ajSt estimate upon the purity
and dclicacy of the article. As security against
fraud it Is advisable to ask for Murray, Ian

Is SO designated On the wrapper and label.

The Washington Union states: one of the
principal objections that have been urged against
the Lecompton Constitution by those opposed
to it is that by the 18th section ofits schedule,
slavery is fixed upon the people of Kansas un-
til after the year 1864. This argument how
ever was formally abandoned by Mr.. Wilson of
Massachusetts,, in his late speech in the Senate
He said: "But we are now told by the Presi-
dent that we can change this constitution before
1864 I EJeleUehe people hare The right to change
their constitution aoEen they please, and just zoW
they p1erse.' ICthis be so-and we fully concur
with Mr.. Wilson that it is, why not let Kansas
come into the Union under the Lecompton Con-
sttution? BY so doing we infict no wrong
upon her people; for, ifa majority of them are
opposed to Slavery, they have right to call a
convention the moment she becomes State,
and amend their constitution accordingly.

Cam Kansas Alter its Constitution
before 1864!

On the Rhode Island question, Thomas r.
Benton said
"Conventions to form State Constitutions
were original acts of the people. They depend
ed upon inherent and inaienable rights. The
people ofany State may, at any time, meet in
Convention, without law of the Legislature,
and without any provision or against anv pro-
vision Of their Constitution, and may alter or
abolish their whole ram) OF Government. The
sovereign power to govern themselves was in
the majority and they could not be diyested Of
it."--Congressional Debates, volume IL, page
