eSs" OuR FREUD W orden of the Lewsburg
Chronicle, has been on tour as far down us
tLs place. and gives the result Of his obser.
vations in humorous strain, in the last
Chronicle. Mr.. Worden happened in at tie
opening Of the conrt, on Monday week last,
and contrasts the small and nconyenient
accommodations as compared with their own.
This is all very true, ind if the people who
are obliged TO attend court are satisfied, it
must always remain so. The people Of Sun.
bury will certainly make no move to rebuild,
as they are not the ones to suffer Being at
home the Inconvenience TO them is but ten.
porary, and as they have been uniustly
charged by designing politicians with endea-
voring to get up new buildings, they will
leave our country friends and neiGhboring
towns TO move in the matter Themselves
The editor Of the Chronicle thinks cur Bar
strong in numbers and respectable in ability
The limbs of the law are certainly mul.
tiplying as well rs the business Of our courts
Our friend Worden is, however, sadly mis-.
taken in saying that the business and receipts
Of the Lewisburg station Of the Northern
Central Railroad, is greater than any other
between Harrisburg and WilIiamsPo:t. The
receipts being for February over $500, aud
in March $500.
Now We have only to sag that the business
from the Sudbury station alone, in December
last, amounted to nearly twenty Eve thousand
dollars, cud during the last mcnth, March
which was duh mouth, the business YVES
nearly eleven thousand dollars. 1t is true
most Of this is the business Of the coal ship
meuts. But the business, independent o
coal, was about three thousand dollars

their eyes opened by the excitement now
prevailing, and will aid in restoring the
Administration Of affairs to the policy OF
The founders Of the Government. And
we are happy to see that even in the South
itself, there are beginning to be strong indi-
cations that some of hei best citizens are
beginning 10 take rational view Of this
subject, and all that is needed is the
freedom Of speech to make the Republican
,sepliment felt even there.
In view ofthe whole case, we think there

their labors lost in their frantic efforts to
make political capital out of the unhappy
affair, and that 1t will but hasten the time
when the benehcient policy OF the Repub-
licans. will be accepted by the great mass
of the people.

PoMERoY. Nov. 10. 1853.


Al meeting held At the Central School
House, on the 18th inst, of a few Of the
JUNIOR citizens Of Pomeroy, (they being
the individuals charged with interruptius
the procession of the /. o. S. NJ. on the
evening of the 9Th inst, adopted the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, We, those "certain individ-
uals," having met on the 9th inst. and re-
solved that we would have an Innocent
burlesque on the Sons of Malta, and hav
ing procured the necessary clothing and
emblems, we proceeded to the Court
house. We there awaited their appear
ance, when we followed them TO the foot
of Court Street, where we were stopped
by one of their officers, and ordered to 90
down the street; and we were told we
shouldn't 90 up the road-we shouldn't
follow their music. We being American
boys, could not brook the command, com
ing as it did from one who had no author
iIy 10 command us; therefore we told him
we would SO up the road, and that we had
as much right as they had to the street,
and we would take advantage Of that right
TO go where we pleased, and we did 90 up
the road. They attempted 10 stop us sew
eral times afterwards; and when they were
retiring 10 their hall We were coming UP
the street after them, when some of them
threw off their 'cows" and made gen.
eral assault on US; and we, having entire
faith and confidence in the principle laid
down in the second resolution of their
communication in last weeks Telegraph,
acted accordingly. But when the Sheriff
commanded the peace, we desisted; and
one of their number came and told US that
they did not blame us; that we were all
right, and told us to 90 home; that it was
all right. The Sons of Malta having
adopted in the preamble to their resou-
lions in the Telegraph, an untruth, we
deem it a duty we owe to ourselves 10
deny it; therefore, .......s...
ResolOed, That the following language
contained in the preamble OF the resolu!
tons adopted by the order Of Sons Of
Malta, continually endeavoring, by every
available means in their power, to disturb
and interrupt the solemnity. quietude and
good order Of our procession" is 6.se
and anQuulGed falseAood!
RESOLVED, That We sincerely regret that
we were the innocent cause of disturb
ance; but we infer from the custom of the
Sons Of Malta that we have right to pa
rade in the streets at any time, dressed in
any uniform we choose; and if we think it
proper, We will do it in spite of all orders.
Reso'ped. That copy OF the above
resolutions be forwarded To the Meiys Co.

upon others will, in some way, recoil upon
themselves. And the Democratic party,
which las inaugurated this "reign Of ter

form themselves, these scenes of fraud
and bloodshed might be overruled for the
6nal good of the country. But they need
not hope for sympathy so long as it is ap-

Utah Territory. who arrived in Washing
ton this week, ii appears that there con-
tinued 10 be frequent murders and assassi-
nations, but no arrests are made, as the
Mormons Systematically obstruct the
courts of Justice. The opinion prevails
among the Genliles that the courts will be
useless unless the Government shall
change lis policy. Gen. Johnston is so
restricted bv instructions that he cannot

The continuance of the army at Camp

Of the Mormons, by means of the large
