The Right Way-We are very much pleased at the course the Harrisburg Patriot is taking with reference to the Legislative corruption ring. The pass made at Sam. Josephs, the left bower of the ring, was capital. We hope the editors will hunt the nests of these foul birds, and scare them up. Point them out to country men, and we will help to shoot them. and we will guarantee that by mid winter, all the Democratic roosters will be either bagged, or badly wounded. We call upon the Radicals who are opposed to Legislative corruption, to take care of the right bower, ace kings and queens, Davis and Strang in particular. If a few more of the loil papers would speak out like the Pittsburgh Commercial, the rats would soon be driven from the State Capital at all events, and turn up at Washington, where the plunder is secured from a much larger field, and consequently less burthensome upon the people.
