The Bible fully sustains him in his position
as regards slavery, and he boldly chal-

which is all wrong, aud he is endeavoring
to bring them together again. upon moder

lanYilIe Wide.AHakes.

Timely notice was given by the Republl-
cans OF this place, through their Press and
otherwise, that the Wide-Awakes, of Dan
Vile, designed paying our quiet and peace

Agreeably TO their engagement, they ar
rived at this place about halt pas: nine -
They came by Canal boat, and landed at
Port Noble Wharf, where they were met
and escorted into town by the Boomsburg
Band and a few Republicans. Under the
command of Captain they marched into
the Court House, for the purpose of listen
ing 10 a speech which was being delivered
by Henry M, Hoyt of Wilkesbarre But
the speech or place did not suit their tastes;
thev soon came out into the street, and
done some not very credilable parading: after
which, we are reliably informed, they join
ed in drunken revelry, and kept up their
noisy merriment, making night hideous,
until after le o'clock, when they decamped
for Dauyille. Thus it will be understood
that they were infringing upon the Sabbath,
and at such a time, when every man VINO
has any claims 10 respect, should have been
at his home.
We are not informed as TO the number oil
these Wide -Awakes, but we do know that
a good portion OF them were unnaturaiized

We have heard it remarked that few

are clothed with the loose open robes that
all wear.and their legs are cased in trousers
