An Infamous Cheat 4"

Our readers no doubt Iecollcct, that
during the progress OF the late Presden"

TO the conduct of an Austrian Red Re

which we were severely censured by the
editor of the journal, who chars ctcri2cd

We hope the ed:tIr will assist Shurz in

Mr.. Shurz is not slaughtered by the " in

The following article we clip from the

Mr.. Shurz is barely citizen Of the

Soil ers in iS50-lut, having been spowed

seems to have tackled about, and selected

Bay"The Legislature of our State has
passed bill granting 100000 Of the peo'
pies money to the State of Kansas. A mo.
ton was made that each member should
pay $40 out of his salary, but il was unan.
imously voted down. There is no ques.
ton but that this mode of depicting our
treasury is unconstitutional and wrong
The State of Pennsylvania has more poor
people within her borders, who need aid :,
than the whole population of Kansas, yet
who is so foolish as to 60 before our Legis.
ture and ask for an appropriation of this
kind. Tho good old rule. that "charity
begins at home has been reversed in
this instance.
We have heard it remarked that the
majority Of the members of the present
Legislature were not accountable beings,
The truth of this remark i, being more
fully realized every day, They have been
guilty of nearly everything that is wrong,
except of committing suicide, and for this
task they are too cowardly.

SrRASGE.-in a late issue of the Press,
we find an article on "ofiice hunting"-
something that Mr.. Forney seems to
loathe and despise. This is indeed strange
advice from a man who has either held CT
been seeking an Office ever since he was
twenty-one years Of age. If, however, he
speaks from experience, his advice should
be taken but it seems strange that mis-
own son should refuse to take his fatherly
advice, as We observe that he has taken an
office under Mr.. Lincoln; end we shall
not be surprised to learn soon tha. the

order to illustrate still further the hypoc-

OF this tariff party:
During an incidental debate, Mr..

an increase Of the tao on iron, either for
horse shoes or rings for the SHOUTS Of
swine; and he proposed to reduce the duty
on skates which were used by ladies rs

"Mr Campbell, Republican, of Penn.
sylvana, earnestly denied that the bill
was for the interest of Pennsylvania any
more than for producers in all parts of the
county.
Mr.. LOveoy joined issue, denying
that the pro luccr was prot ccted by the
bill"
Well does the PcnnSyi'daidn rem lrll
upon this subject that the Abolition
Republi cans have but one principle in
common, and that is nrgroism. On all
other questions they agree to disagree
Lovcjoy, in Illinois, votes for Lincoln,
while he is against tariff for the protcc
tion OF Pennsylvania. He even goes 50 far
as to snarl at the "BInne: State, AMI 10

like Lovejoj, he is for giving protection

that skates are much affect sd by poll ti>
