HE DAILY DISPATCH

Political Prostitutes.—We don't know
a phrase that more accurately describes the
candidates of the New York Byracuse Con
▼unties, than thess coarse bat expressive
words. The great harlot of Babylon coald
net possess greater facility of principle or
easiness of virtue. The majority of the
nymphs of the New York pave are superior
in morality to these political profligates, for
tyay have generally become what they are
through the villainy of others, or from strong
and deficient moral training. No
such apology can be made for the courtesans
<* Syracuse. They were neither seduced
from the paths of virtue by others, nor by
&eir own fiery natures. Cold-blooded as
snakes, they have calmly and deliberately
sold themselves for a sum not as large as a
blooded horse will command in the market.
In order to be Governor, Lieut. Governor,
\e.., of New York, they have degraded and
•debauched the dignity of human nature in
•their persons as completely and as thorough
sly as the Cyprian, who, for so many pieces
of silver, sells her loathsome embraces to
# any and every comer.
These Syracuse nominees, Clark, Ray
. mond, 4cc., to obtain office, are ready to be
• lieve and do everything a besotted and fana-
tical mob requires. Their former Whig prin
* ciples, their opposition to abolitionism and
every other ism, are thrown off with as much
nonchalance as a man would cast his coat
# off on a hot summer day. Instead of avoi
ding temptation, they rush into it; they fly
with indecent haste to the spoils market,
and beg every party in turn to prostitute
them—Abolitionists, Temperance men, Free
soilers, Know Nothings, freo Democrat?,
—"anybody, good Lord.*' No sooner does
one of the thousand isms of New lork
hold a Convention, and put forth some creed
so crazy and monstrous, that its authorship
would consign an inmate of a lunatic asylum
to the straightest of straight jackets, and the
deepest dungeon in the establishment,than pop
comes a letter from Clark, then another from
liaymond, declaring that that creed contains
every possible element of wisdom and pa
triotism, and has always been held by
writers as the next thing to the Bible, a]
though, the very day before, they had de
lounced it as the consummation of humai
lolly and wickednesa. Without the slightest
twinge of conscience in the breast, withoul
tie slightest tinge of modesty upon the cheekj
tiese mercenaries hurry to every town wherei
a rabble convention has assembled, expose
tbiir rottenness in the very highways, and
gi»ry in their shame.
knd is office desirable which is thus attain
ec ? Could any man enjoy office purchased
at the sacrifice of principle, manhood and
common decency? Why, the pick-pocket
msy revel in his ill-gotten spoils, and the
wo(*en of the Five Points in the wages of
iniquity, but no office-holder, unless he were
qui.'j as depraved and remorseless as either
of Aese, could take a moment's satisfaction
in Aosition purchased at the cost of con-
BcieTCe, honor and self-respect.
Tlese Syracuse candidates would not be
worfr a moment's notice if they had notsc me
chaise to sell the peace and Union of he
county, as well as their own insignifk wit
souls. And that sale they will unquestic aa
bly (Asummate if the virtuous and patriotic
penpfof New York do not lash out of the
temp' the creatures who would make this
confederacy worse than a den of thieves,
who wfculd sell their birthright as American
citizea for a mess of official pottage, and
betra) American Liberty to its deadliest foe
for thi*~y pieces of silver.
Pontes in New York.—Not only have
the Soft era Whigs cut adrift from the Sy
racuse 'Convention, but the conservative
Whiga of the North express their disappro
bation. MUhe Courier and Enquirer is dissat
isfied «I the platform and the ticket. The
Commeimal Advertiser, in an article mark
ed by fa' more than its usual vigor, points
out that the candidates arrayed under the
whig bafeers, are abolitionists, not whigs;
and unefltivocally warns them that they can
not expea undivided support of the whigs of
State. 'Where are whig principles, and
where is «e whig party?' is the gist of an ar
ticle in tie Rochester Daily Advertiser,which
if it have $oy influence, must be regarded as a
hostile increment against the ticket paraded
over the cAitorial columns in which it ap
pears. T® Buffalo Commercial Adveriiser
is bewildetod by the turn affairs have taken.
With the iflfidence aa plain as day-light be
fore its ey-« ( it cannot believe that the whig
candidates *iave proved so faithless as to
abandon tb i flag of the national whig party.
Yet we all know they have done so in the
plainest straight-forward way in the
world." ■
There waf a meeting of the softs at Tam
many on F 4lay night, which the N. Y. Her
ald says w Athe most humorous and uproa
rious ever Sid in the old wigwarn. The
meeting h*4| been called to give Gov. Sey
mour an opportunity to explain his views on
political m*tera generally, and especially,
the prohibitory law. The Governor, how
ever, was utable to attend. The views of the
audience, hwever, on the liquor law seem
to have befl very fully and unmistakably
Mt forth in Weir practice. It was emphati
cally a spirited meeting.
Eubofxa* Paupers.—A very efficient
mods has be* adopted by the city of Boston
to prevent tk* shipment of European paupers
to that port. The Boston papers state that
four pauper* rare on the 23d alt. arraigned
before a JusMse in that city, on a joint charge
of bang "for*|gn paupers, receiving aid from
the city of Bsston, against the peaoe of the
Common weaih and contrary to the law in
such case and provided." The charge
of pauperisa|wa« sustained, and the court
ordered the Jkisoners to be returned to the
Queen of Great Britain. They will be for
warded in th« ship Star of Empire, from Bos
ton for livanooL This coarse Is worthy of

West Point.—Tbis western terminus of
the Richmond and York Bhrer Railroad is leu
th in 60 miles from the ocean. It is ritunted
on the extremity of the neck of lend lying
between the Pamuukeyand MatUponi rivers,
where they unite to form the York. There is
a bar tiro miles below it, upon which, how
ever, eighteen feet nine inches of water can
be had at low tide, and twenty-two feet at
the flood. The route from Richmond goes
through the lower end of Hanover, and cross
es the Pamnnkey river. This railroad does
not exceed forty-two miles in length. We
agree with the Enqvircr of yesterday, which
states these facts, that the new improvement
will bring almost to the door of the Capitol,
a large, wealthy and improving section of
Virginia, which has heretofore been com
pletely isolated and cut off from communica
tion with the cities of this State.

Examination on the Cham* or Bma
ky.—Baajamin F. Prentiss, a wall known ckfeen
of Henrico county, waa arraigned before the Comi
ty Court of Henrico, on Saturday last, to aaewer
the charge of Bigamy-tint of marryiaa Mia* Mary
Hunter fa Pennsylvania, ia 1834, and Mia a Melcena
M. Mlnton, of Hearicocounty, in 1941. Tha Coon
waa composed ot the following Josttees of the
Peace: Meaarf. Cox, Hanea, Jar via, Waldrop and
Dickon.
The aeeuaed la a atout, portly man. apparently
forty-eight yeara of age, auburn hair, bine eyes,
dark complexion, and ia over aix feet high. He
appeared In court dreaaed In a mixed sack, black
panta, vest and cravat, and wore a gold guard chain
across hia boeotn. While sitting ia rear of hlseoon
aeL, be held a high head, and endeavored to look
very pleasant, but thoae who noticed btm could
readily perceive that hia amilea were aaanmed, and
that he fully appreciated the nnpleaaantaeaa ot hia
poaition.
At twenty minutea past 11 o'clock the Court waa
opened on the accused, Messra. Lyona, Moraon and
Starke, appearing aa counsel lor the defence; and
Capt. John B. Young for the Commonwealth.
On Mr. Young'a announcing bla readiness to pro
ceed, Messrs. Lawrence Kulp, Charles Stiner, and
Benjamin F. l'rentia, Jr., of Pennsylvania, were
sworn by the Clerk.
Mr. Lyons aaked tbat the witnesses might be sep
arated, before testifying, at which Measra. Stiner
and Prentis, Jr., were Invited into the Clerk'a office,
where they remained until called for.
Lawrence Kulp, examined.— I reside in Lewis
town, Mifflin county, Pennsylvania, and waa 37
years old in' February laat. My father's name waa
Henry Kulp. I wsa present at a marriage of Hun
ter and Prentia, by my father, who waa a Justice of
the Peace.
Here Mr. Lyons Interrupted the witness, and in
sisted tbat the Commonwealth's Attorney should
first prove by the laws of Pennsylvania that a Jus
lice of the Peace had a legal right to solemnize the
marriage vows, before he undertook to prove a mar
riage before such an officer. This being done, the
proof now attempted to be Introduced would be ad
missabte, but not until then.
Mr. Young thought it unnecessary to adduce any
such proof at this time. He was prepared to show
tbat in the State of Pennsylvania, marriage was a
mere civil contract, and might be completed in any
words in the present tense, without using any par
ticular form. If a man were to say before a Justice,
or any one else, " I will take this woman as my
wile," and the lady answered in a similar manner,
theparties would be legally married, according to
tbe laws of that State. [Mr. Y. cited several cases
decided by the higher courts of this country to
f trove bis proposition, and argued the bearing of the
aw with great ability] While a person might lay
himself liable to prosecution for solemnizing a
marriage without legal right to do so, that fact
would neither vitiate nor annul the marriage.
Mr. Morson could not agree with Mr. Young. It
was necessary to show the marriage law ot Penn
sylvania, and also to show that a Justice of the
Peace had legal authority to solemnize the marriage
rites, before a marriage Lelore a Justicc could be
proved in evidence. Ho, too, quoted from various
law books in support of hia argument; and conten
ded that while general reputation and cohabitation
might be given as an evidence oi marriage in cer
tain cases the charge of bigamy could be main
tained by no such testimony, lie hoped the court
would not permit the question, "who married Hun
ter and Prentis," to be answered by the witness,
until the law authorizing a Justice to solemnize
marriages was shown.
The Court overruled the motion, and tho exami
nation of the witness progressed.
iawreuce Kulp, resumed.—Hunter and Prentis
were married by my lather. Both parties assented
to tbe marriage, so far as I know. They stood on
the floor, joined their right hands, and atter the
ceremony, father pronounced them man and wife.
Father was a Justice, and in the habit of solemniz
ing marriages. After the marriage they gave their
names as Hunter and Prentis. I do not know which
was Hunter and which Prentis. [Here Justice
Kulp's book was introduced, containing the origi
nal marriage certificate of Benjamin Prentis and
Mary Hunter, bearing date 21st February, 1834,
with many other records in it ] That book was
kept by my father lor entering marriages in. He
died in May, 1852, and the book has been inthepos
session of my mother since that time. [Mr. Lyons
stated to tbe Court that the counsel for tbe defence
objected to the use of the record just read, but
would not now take tbe time to argue their objec
tions.]
Mr. Kulp, continued.—l saw the parties pa6s
along the street in a carriage, before they came to
my father's to be married. Don't remember the
character of the carriage, but it had a pair of splen
did bay horses attached to it, which attracted my
attention. The same man that drove the fine bays,
came to father's that evening, and called him out
That night the lady and himself came back and
were married about Bor 9 o'clock. After the cere
mony was over, the gentleman threw down some
money on the counter, and I heard father say he
would only take what the law allowed bim—one
dollar and a halt. How much he received, I am
unable to say. Father kept a small store, and the
marriage took place in the store room. I never
saw the lady from that night, until about three
weeks since. Then saw her in Lewistown. Mr.
Jacobs, a lawyer, came to mother's in search of
father's marriage certificate book, and 1 happened
to be there at the time. He said he wanted to
search for the marriage of Prentis and Huuter;
hearing which, I remarked to him that I believed
I was at thK marriage. My sister and myself then
went up stairs and found the book. Alter finding
the certificate, Mr. Jacobs invited me to go over to
the tavern and seethe lady. lat first declined, bat
on bis Insisting, went over. As soon as I entered
the parlor, I recognised her, notwithstanding the
fact that there were two or three strange ladies in
the room with her. (Mr. Young requested Mrs.
Mary Prentis, who had come on from Pennaylva
nia and was in tbe room, to stand up, which she
did) That is thelady I saw married. The witness
was next requested to look upon the prisoner.—
He did so, and answered, "I do not recognise bim
1 paid but little attention to the man, being more
interested in the lady."
Cross-Examined by Mr. Lyons —Don't remember
when the marriage of Hunter and Prentiss took
place. It may have been ten, fifteen or twenty
years ago. Cannot speak positively as to the time.
Do not remember the day ot the week, the month,
or the year, but know that it did not take place on
Sunday. Never saw either of the parties from the
time ot the marriage until about three weeks ago,
when I saw the lady in Lewistown. The carriage
was open in front, and did not stop at father's
when I first saw it pass along the street. 1 noticed
the lady particularly, because she was dressed
much finer than ladies usually dress ia our town.
Do not remember what I was doing when I first
saw them, or who was with me. Abont that time I
was either going to school or attending in my
father's store. When they came back 1 was in the
store, and heard persons say " here comes the
grand people in the carriage." Many of the citizens
ran to their doors to see them. I noticed persons
passing from towards my grand-mother's, by the
store wiodows. There were several persons about
the store at the time they passed by. The marrl
sge took place that night. I was in the store at the
time. My attention was particularly called by the
fine horses and hadsomely dressed lady The
store was closed when the parties came My father
did not know.thatl, even,was in it I suspected that
some low game was going on, by my lather's clo
sing the store that night and telling me that I could
go home. Believing that a marriage was to take
place, I felt a curiosity to see it, so instead of going
out of the back door, I merely opened and shot it,
and then bid in a dark corner. When theparties
came, my father was at his desk writing. They
stood In the floor, went through the ceremony,
joined their right hands, and father pronounced
them man and wife. There was but one candle in
the room, and that enabled me to see directly in
their faces. I was in view of the parties, bat sup
posing that they did not desire any one to be pre
sent, I tried to prevent my being seen. After the
ceremony had concluded, the gentleman told my
father to say nothing about it for two or threedays.
He then polled out some money and threw it on the
counter. One of the half dollars fell and rolled
near to the place where I was concealed. It an
noyed me a great deal, but 1 did not get It' Father

After I left Milton 1 went to the State of New York,
and remained about seven months. On my return,
1 went to Northumberland to live.
Ily Mr. Young.—l waa at Northumberland at tha
time the news came up that Prentis bad left.
Mr. Vauiig asked the witness what was the report
be heard?
Mr. Lyons objected to the question's being an
swered, and moved the Court to instruot tha witness
not to answer it. He argued that common report
could not be given as evidence in a criminal case, in
aamscb as by admitting it, the prosecution would
prove a marriage, whish had not bean otherwise es
tablished by legal means. He admitted that in eases
of pedigree, etc., cohabitation and reputation were
admissable; but in a criminal cause hearsay evidence
waa illegal and should be rejected.
Mr. Young argaed that the question was a proper
one, and should be answered, and cited eases from
the law books to maintain his position. The fast that
the prisoner bad liv-d with a Ndy as his wife three
or f or years, was proof conclusive that they were
mairied; and therefore it waa peifectly proper to ask
what were the current reports when be left hen
backed, aathe question was, by the evidence of wit
nesses wh-> p'oved the mairiage and that they co
habited together.
Mr. Moraon was surprised to hear the Piosecuting
Attorney lay down any auch proposition of law.
Sorely the evidence that would not be admitted on a
suit for $2, could not be given against a man charged
with bigamy. He argued the question with great
earnestness and ability, and among other authorities,
quoted from Mayo's Guide, as follows:
'•In a prosecution for bigamy, the fi at atep is to
prove the previous marriage assordisg to the rites
md ceremonies of the country in which it waa cele
brated. Proof of a marriage by reputation merely, is
not sufficient; an actual marriage must be proved, but
to do this, it is not necessary to produce either the
register, or banns, or license, for the marriage, may
be proved by a person present at the ceremony, and
by other modes that might be suggested; aa for exam
ple, the acts, acknowledgements and confeaaions of a
party sccused of bigamy, ars aa good evidence and
available and auliicient for hia conviction, aa they
would be in any other case, and when sufficiently
strong and clear, will dispense with the production
of other tes'imony "
The Court, on taking the vote, sustained the mo
tion, and therefore decided that the queation was im
proper
Mr. Young now presented a number of certificates,
bearing the lesaer seal of the secretary and the great
seal of the Commonwealth, only a portion of which
were necessary, the original certificate book of Jus
tice Kulp, with tbe recorded marriage of Benjamin
Prentis and Mary Hunter, having been produced.
The first certificate in bis batch of papers was that
of the marriage of Benjamin Prentis and Mary Hun
ter, by Justice Henry Kulp, on the 21at February,
1834, io Lewiatowp, Mifflin county, Pennsylvania.
The second waa the certificate of George W. Stew
art, Justice of the Peace for Mifflin county, stating
that he had Henry Kulp's record book, and certifying
a true copy of the marriage lines of Benjamin Pren
tis and Marv Hunter from it
The third was from Thomas F. McCoy, Prothono
tary of Mifflin county, certifying that Henry Kulp
waa a Justice of the Peace in 1834, and that George
W Stewart is now.
Tbe fourth was from Abel S Wilson, Judge of the
20th Judicial District, certifying tbat Thomas F. Mc-
Coy was Prothonatorian of Mifflin county, and tbat
Mea«rn. Kulp and Stewart were Justices.
The fifth was from E. S. Goodrich, Deputy Secre
tary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, certify
ing that the above were all proper officers, and that
their acts and deeds were entitled to full credit
and elsewhere. This document had the lesser
sea! of the Commonwealth attached.
And the sixth was from Governor Bigler, with the
great seal of the State attached, certifying tbat E S.
Goodrich was deputy Secretary of the Common
wealth.
Mr. Young next read the act concerning marriage,
passed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, showing
that matriages were regarded aa civil contracts, and
could be solemnized by Justices of the Peace.
Benjamin F. Prentit, Jr., examined.—l am a son
of the lady in court, and reside in Duncannon, Pa.
Will be 20 years old the last of next August. I have
slight|recoll ections of childhood. Remember a man
living with mother, and that I called him papa.—
Have|no particular recollection of bis leaving. Saw
his trunks put in a carriage, and saw him get in tbe
carriage and go off His brother followed him with
a drove of horses. I recognised the prisoner to-day
by the appearance of his brother In Pennsylvania —
The man alluded to, left my mother about fourteen
years ago. Noah Prentis, the brother of tbe prisoner
md my uncle, recognises me always as his nephew.
lam unable to identify the prisoner ss I was small
Crott examined by Mr. Lyons.—l came here with
my msther. Did not know tbat 1 should be called
ot. to testify until I got here Have since had a sub
pcena served upon me.
Anderson Grubbs was next called, but the counsel
for the prisoner admitted bis marriage to Miss Mel
cena M. Minion of Henrico, which was all that he
cou'd prove.
The Commonwealth being through with beT testi
mony, the case was submitted to the Court without
argument, and the Justices were unanimous for send
ing h°m on for final trial before the Circuit Court for
Henrico, which commences its fall term on the 25ih
cf this month. After recognising the witnesses, the
accused was remanded to prison, and the Court ad
journed for the term.
|The length of oar report has prevented us from
noticing more fully tbe arguments of counsel on
bath sides. We have merely attempted to show
the position* on the points raised and discussed by
them. |
Robbery.—Mr. Simon Steinline's resi
dence, on Broad street, wa« entered laat Friday
night and robbed of $650. The money was taken
from a bureau drawer, wbich was opened by boring
a bole above the lock and then pushing down the
bolt. The robber must have known all about the
premises to have been so expert in his operations.
Theatre—Miss A. Ihce.—-This charm
ing actress, whose name is on the tongue of every
friend of the drama who has seen her, and whose
praises are echeod and re echoed by all Americana
who have souls to appreciate American talent,
makes her first appearance at the "Marshall"' this
season, in Sbakspeare's thrilling tragedy ot "Romeo
and Juliet,'' she sustaining the character of "Juliet,"
and Mr. Taylor that of "Romeo." To those who
have ever seen Miss litcx in the trying character,
where all the feelings of the human mind are
brought out, it Is needless to invite them to attend
the Theatre; but to those who have seen other
"atars" attempt to personate the fair "Juliet," we
have only to add, that they will have but a faint
conception of that character, until they see it by
Miss Ince. If she is not perfect in it—if she has
not set upon the stage the beau ideal of old Shake
peare, then she has succeeded so well in getting up
a counterfeit, that the author himself, il he could
but arouse from his slumbers and become one of her
andence, would doubtless lay claim to the talented
actress as the offspring of his mind. The whole
piece has been cast in the strength of the company,
and should be seen by every lady in the c'ty wbo
has a fondness for dramatic representations. Let
all bear in mind that Miss Ince is an American lady,
and with that native pride wbich should swell the
bosom of every American, let her be greeted by a
| full and overflowing house.
Kunkel's Troupe make their appearance
at Metropolitan Hall to-night, and with the assis
tance ol Master Adams, will give a rich and varied
entertainment. The whole corps are in tine voice
now, and promise to furnish their audience such
music, and such fun, as their friends in Richmond
have never yet enjoyed. Harry Lehr—the inimita
ble Harry—ls full of wit and humor, while Search,
Brown, W. Penn Lehr, Morgan, Levi Brown, Ah
rend, Hermann, Huger, Floyd, Kunkel, and the
celebrated Master Adams, and bent on a grand sea
sation it artistic skill can produce it Hoop your
sides and be in time, if yon wish an antidote for
blue devils.
Obstcctiow.—Jet Be Williams was fined
flaud costs tor obstructing Adams street with a
quantity of bricks.
Fires.— Benjamin Durham and John
Bosh were each fined 91 for calling their dogs when
the police were abont capturing them.
Sebt oh.—-Matilda Turney, a free negro,
charged with stabbing Elisabeth Southard, a mix
ed blood, was examined before tbe Mayor last Sat
urday, and sent on to the Hastings Court for &osd
trial.

Liver Complaint.—This dangerous and
often fatal disease had long baffled tbe skill of the
most eminent pbvsiclans, when tbe discovery of Dr.
McLans's Liver Pills solved the difficulty, and pre
sented to the world the great specific far that com
plicated malady, which has attained such widely
spread celebrity for its certainty of care. This suc
cessful remedy was the result of many year's stndy
ia which the symptoms were narrowly obeerved, and
are thus described by tbe doctor himself:
"Symptoms or a Diseased Livex —Pain la the
right side, and sometimes in the left, andea the edge
or tbe ribs—tbe patient being rarely able to lie oa
tbe left; pain sometimes under the shoulder-blade,
frequently extending to the top of the shoulder—
often mistaken for rheumatism in the arm; sickness
of stomach and less of appetite; bowels mostly ooe
tive, bat sometimes alternate with lax; dull, heavy
actuation In the back part of the head; loas of memo
ry, with uneasiness of having neglected something;
sometimes dry cough; weariness and debility; ner
vous irritability; feet cold or burning, aad prickly
sensation of akin; low spirits, lassitude, with disincli
nation to exercise, although satiated it woald be be*
neficial. In fact, patient distrusts every remedy."
Have you any or all of these symptoms? It so. yoa
will fiad a certain remedy in Dr. MoLANE'S LIVER
PILLS.
