was written by an old and well known citi-
zen of this county, and every one should read
it. After this week We shall not devote much
of our columns to the discussion of the ques~
tions of new county. We think we have
already given satisfactory reasons why this
county should not be divided. 1t is not any
too large, neither is it too expensive.

ny THE BARD OF TOWER HAIL.
A lady fair, before me walked
On Chestnut street one day,
Arrayed in Fashions "latest styles"
Their beauties to display.
In satin robed, as on she went,
With proud and naughty men,
Her skirts were trailing at her heels,
And swept the pavement clean.
I thought I'd notice, when she stepped
Upon a cross walk near.
What she had cleaned with trailing skirts
I'll note the gleanings here.
Her skirts beside the curb. stone left
1.-The sweepings of q square
Tobacco guilds, cigar-stumps foul,
And orange-skius were there,
Mixed up with shavings, paper, straws,
And many kinds of dirt, 4,
Such as should ne'er in contact come
With any lady's skirt
Reform must come, and hanish hence
A style devoid of taste
Then men wont tread on women's skirts,
Aud tear them from the waist
For they'll not dray, but neatly hang,
In graceful. folds to swing,
AS free from CONTACT with the earth,
As is birds bring wing.
Let tidy wives be thus arrayed,
, And happy husbands, all,
BE dressed with taste, in raiment fue,
Procured atTower Hall.
A splendid assortment of Spring Clothing.
Wholesale and retail, at the lowest cash prices.

Hon. John Patton.

Everybody knows acko John Patton is, but
few know sohat John Patton is. He is the
member Of Congress elect from the Wild Cat
District, and is one of the cleverest little
men we ever knew. Nor is this is all, he is
Of all friends the truest, and when he makes
promise you can rely upon it that it will
be kept in good faith. When Congress as
sembled, John Patton went down to Wash
ington to look after the interests of his
friends. lie made out list Of the men who
had done most for the party in his District,
and went to work in earnest to SECURE their
appointment. lie secured every prominent
appointment he asked for in his District
John Patton Is man, and that is saying
more for him than we can say of nine-tenths
of our members, of Congress. We like him
for his trutA and fidelity to his.fricnds; he
stands by the men who stood by him, and we
love him the more because true men are now
seldom found in high places. This day We
would rather have John PattonIs word than
the oaths of, six men we could name VIII,
write NJ. g. to their names and think they
are honorable men. Like good and true
man Patton has taken care Of the Press in
bis District; he has secured for S. B. Row,
Esq, the Editor of the leading--paper in the
District, tie Ratismcn's Journal, the appoint
ment of y. S. Mail Agent, nice little berth
worth some $4,000 per annum. MIR. Row
has given his time. money. and brains, to
build up the party, and, it is right that he
should have jast what he got For FIVE years
Mr.. Row has fought the Democracy in that
District as no other man ever foughtit, and
has done more than any other man in the
District to redeem it from the thraldom of
Democratic mis:ule. lie labored hard to Sc
cure Mr.. Patton's election, and John Patton
like an honest man, has repaid him for bis
toll. We like an honest man, and when Mr..
Patton comes up for Office again we will 60
for him, first, last, and all tile time. It is
time that onr public men were taught that if
they want the Press to take care of them
they must take care of the Press. The Ed
itor is tie poorest paid man that lives; poor
devil, he tolls day and night, some times
hungry and cold, to place men in power,

substance that keeps them alive, and often
kill the very man that, had they taken care
of, would have put them in the very position

John Patton is none of these, if he had killed

would have killed Mr.. Patton. Now, that
he has built up Mr. Row. let Mr.. Row 20 to
work in earnest to build up Mr.. Patton. All
hail to the gallant little member from the
Wild Cat District, long may he wave, and
high may he climb. Here's our shoulder,
mount up, John, hoping we may be in your
District the next time.

pa The Washington news are not as In
teresting this week as usual. Nothing has
yet been done with Fo1t Sumpter. 1t will,
however, be abandoned, we think, in the
course of week orso. The Administration
is pursuing pacific policy, aud evidently
desires to conciliate the rebels. In the diss
tribution of the public patronage, Pennsyl-
yania has thus far been almost entirely over
locked. Mr.. Seward it is said, works hard
to defeat the Pennsy lvanians and does it out
of spite, thinking in this way to have revenge
on them for defeating him for the nomina-
ton at Chicago. That is a poor way to get
them to go for him the next time, we should
think. Uncle Abraham should see to it that
Pennsylvania is properly served. He is in
debted to this State. both for his nomination
and election. 1t will never do to ignore the
claims of Pennsylvania.
