J0& Supports the Lovcrnumit
The disunion traitors who are incessantly
slandering the South, assert, because the reve
nues are principally collected at northern port!, i
that the South pays hut little into the treasury
and is a burthen on the government. This is
unjust as well 3? fals-. The revenues are de
rived from duties on imports which are paid for 1
by the products of the country. The furnish-i
ors of the products are those upon whom the
burthens oi'the duties rest : for whatever amonnt
is paid in duties is ko much deducted from the
quantity of commodities received in exchange. j
Look at the auth-ntic figures and see who pays
the vaunted revenues collected at Northern
ports.
The following statement lias been taken lirom
the reports of commerce and navigation for the.
year ending June 30th, 1554 :

to Si 11,277,220. For the same year the ex

Raw produce not manufactured 1.959,000
Whole amount of products common

Deducting the share produced at the South
oi these exports coming from both sections, and
it will lie found that over two thirds of the for
eign imports are paid for by Southern products.
Who then supports the government? Who
pavs the revenues ? How much wr-u-Ju be col
lected in Northern ports if Southern products
were not sent out to pay for our imports?—
What would become ol the foreign ci'ptperce
upon which the prospei ity of the great rTrfthern
cities depends, if the South were to withdraw
from the Union* ? L-t this resource he cut off,
and how long before bankruptcy would ovej

STARTLING- NEWS FROM TEE FLAIRS.
By the at rival, on Saturday last, of I). B.
Cieghorn, Esq., from California, v,a Salt Lake,
which latter piace he left on Ihe 2d of August,
nit., we have news of a terrible tragedy in the
murder and robbery of Col. A. VV. Babbitt's
train of Government property, by the Cheyen
ne Indians.
Mr. Cieghorn met Mr. Babbitt in camp, at
Wood liver, some 15 miles from New Fort
Kearney, of whom he learned the following
painful particulars of the murder of his men ami
breaking up of the train .
On Monday night, the 25th of August, the
little train with Alexander .Nicholas, (one of
our citizens,) as captain and conductor, and
Mrs. Wilson and infant, (from St. Louis,) a
young man named Orren Parrish, a man from
Pennsylvania, and another, name unknown,
accompanying, were encamped upon Prairie
creek, ten miles east from Wood river, neither
fearful or dreaming of danger, when thev were
suddenly attacked by a rand of Cheyennes,
(which for some cause hr.! been attacked ami
driven by the soldiers at Kearney.) Orr and
Parrish oniv escaped uninjured to the fort,
whilst the other young man recived a danger
ous wound from a bullet in the leg. Some
days afterwards a d* tac lunetit was smt irom
the fort, (fwentv miles.) who found the dead
body of Mr. Nicholas some twenty yards irom
the wagon, also the dead body of the gentleman
from Pennsylvania close by, and tlie ihad body
of the child with it-- brains dashed out, and hor
ribly mutilated. The pillow where the child
and mother sfopt, v. as bloody, and a portion of
torn wardrobe of Mis. Wilson on the ground,
tut her body was nowhere to be found.
The oxen (ten yok) and all the- mules were
gone, and the wagons rilled of much of their
contents.
It seems, however, Ibat a band of Omaha hun
ters happened near just after the murder, and
in time to stop the pillage and recover the mo
ney and some other \aloab!es stolen, which
were honestly turned over to the Colonel in
command of the corps.
Mrs. Wilson ha- doubtless been wounded,
and then carried away captive. Tire young
man who escaped with a wound is in the hospi
tal at the fort ; and the wagms and what pro
perty remained were also taken to tire fort.—
These are the particulars, as far as we can
gather litem. In a few days we shall however,
no doubt, get a full detailed account of the mat
ter, from the* pen of Mr. Babbitt himself, which
we will lay before cur readers.
The Cheyennes are a warlike and cruel race,
numbering several thousand, who inhabit some
of the wild and almost impenetrable rallies in
the fastnesses of the Rocky Mountains, southwest
from Fort Laramie, and seldom come out, ex
cept to roii, plunder, or go to war with other
tribes. Our emigration will never be safe un
til these merciless pirates are exterminated.
SNAKE -TORY. —The Dayton Gazette tells the
f Bowing :
"A young rr.ar., deaf and dumb, named Elvin
Birch, amused the passengers on the railroad
train from Richmond east, last Friday, by ex
hibiting his travelling companion and pet—a
live rattlesnake, which was eighteen years old :
and he seemed delighted to receive its embrace
by permitting it to coi! around his neck. It
seemed to he completely under his control, arid
would permit him to open its mouth to show
its poisonous fangs; after which he placed it
carefully in his tin box, without the Last fear.
It had twelve rattles, and was about three feet
in length. He appeared anxious to obtain an
other rattlesnake, and professed to be .jtbb' to
pick them up in the lot est and tame them, with
out being 11m least afraid ol'persona! it jury."

A short time ago, a large gang of negroes belong

On their return, two Irishmen -aid something to
them at which they took offence, when a number of
the ncgroe- got out of the oirinibu-.es and commen
ced an assault upon them. S vera! citizens who saw
th.s, went to ttie assistance of the Irishmen, when
the whole of them were attacked by the blacks. A
public hoiSAiear was then attacked by the woolly
head-, end the keeppr severely beaten. Seeing a lib
erty pole erfl-ted by The Democrats, in the vicinity,
lor. negroes go VP three rkeern for FLTUMONT, pulled
down the .♦nericun banner, and trampled it in the
dust bem-Ah their feet. If the-e thing-can be done

Is Fremont a FaSiielic?
-TryVht* seems to he the areit question at issue
between the two divisions of the Know Nothing par
ly—the ONE supporting; i BK.WOXT, the other FILMOBE.
As far as DEMOCRATS are concerned, it matters
not what a man's religion is, provided he l el.nM
rtTßvr snJ Hostsr." These are the only inquiries
that inte:eri he Democratic Party when men are
presented, either hy themselves, or others, tor pjjw'es
of public trust. But our adversaries having lai-ed
the point a- to the religions opinions of Fremont, and
he having stated that he so framed his replies as to
catch the"voies of al! sides, we deem it our duty to
put him just where he belongs. I hat he •".< a
Catholic admits or' no doubt not even of the shad
ow of a doubt. If any, how ever, should he seepticle
on this pon.l, we invite their attention to the proof*
to tie found on the fiist page of the Gazette of to-day,
ail copied from the Philadelphia A>-i the accredited
organ of Mr. FILMOBE in Philadelphia. If any man
can i/imljt alter reading these facts—some ol them
taken from the organ of tii ■ Catholic Church in St.
Louis—then it l- only because he is determined to
deceive himself as well as to practice a gross fraud
upon others. Having bartered his religion and his
political principles to aid the Abolitionists in their
etiorls to di-solve this union, it remains to he seen
how ninny of the freemen ol this land are wilting to
prostitute themselves by voting lor FREMONT lor Pre
sident of ttie L T lilted States.
The Republican Party is not a -•■ party—it is on
ly a branch of the Know Nothing Party—made up
principally of the elements which withdcnc fiorn the j
Fillmore Convention at Philadelphia, because that
Convention resolved that the PEOCLE of the Tetrito
lie- should he left to frame their Constitution and
Laws, and to regulate their domestic and social af
fairs in their own way—employing almost the very
words of the t incmnutti Convention on the subject
of SLA VERY, a fact that dare not be denied.
Now fo re js the TRU.'K. Look at it. The Know-
Nothings in Pennsylvania finding that thousands of
honest ni-h, who barf been deceived to join their or
der, are leaving them and corning over to the De
mocracy, determined to do something to chest a por
tion of our adopter! citizens to vote their ur holy tick
et: Whilst, therefore, Fillmore is the cry
'of that part ol the Know Nothings who profit to he- i
licce thai Cathol cs aie a walking ClJfiS£ and NL'l-
SANCF. upon ll.e earth—FKLMON I is made the
rallying cry ol that other portion of the very name
party —and thev appeal to Catholics and Foreigners
to vote lor him because he is a Catholic, and because
tig is Ihe son of a Frenchman!
They have but unc F.lectoral Ticket, although they
have two candidates, and the plan is to catch Protes
tants WITH Fiu.vtoßK, and Catholics with FKEMONT,
and then unite the two branches of the Know Nothing
Party, if successful at the polls, by casting the elec
toral voir of Pennsylvania lor John C. Fremont and
Abolitionism.
Here i- a true -fa foment of the way things stand, i
and the Catholic or Foreigner who vote- for John C.J
Fremont, votes to rivet the chains of oppression and ;
infamy upon his limbs manufactured in the Know -
Nothing midnight Lodges, just as certainly as he
would by voting <or Millard Filmore, or Nimrod
Norris, of Bedford Town-hip notoriety. Remember,
the two parties have but < F.lectoral Ticket,
and this exposes the stupendous fraud so glaringly
that the wayiaring man though a fool cannot be mis
taken.
But we have other evidences of this combination '
in BEDFORD COL'NTY. The 'Know Nothings' ar.d
'•Republicans" are holding seperate meetings, all to
tttrnvr. for at each Ihey uige a till ion of both factions j
upon the Slate and County tickets, which are aboli
tion from fop to bottom. Will the hone-t freemen
of our rour.fy submit to so degrading'# system of
traud and deception astlus? Will they ?

HIS FORCED DECLINATION!
CT/'One ot' tli" me-: extmordinury political rsns
! ever w itnes-ed liy our "oldest inhabitants," came
i olj'in Bedford ad Wednesday of last vve, k, when the
delegates selected two veais by the midnight
i Lodges, met tor the FOURTH time in Bedford. On
j thi.- occasion they went through the farce of receiv
ing and accepting the declination of W in. Griffith,
which every body knew had been violently totted
i from hirn! He was their regular nominee Tor Asso
■ ciate Judge, and had been held up as a mode] of per
fection by Fr. Jordan & Co.—and yet, in the ab
{ sence of any charge preferred against him by his op
i ponents, the K. N"s arraign him—try hurt—execute
i Into—trike biro ftom their ticket—thus disgracing
| hias-ior lite. To add to The degradation inflicted
r upon hirn, they insult bint with the declarations lhat
J he "-tarnls higher in their estimation now than he
ever did before," and lhat they view bint tv- a rr an of
The highest •'principle and integrity." "b"-
lieve this, hat better recommendation could they
desire to defend him before the public ag:ii/|st the
attacks ot his most hitter enemies But this is only
i intended as soft-soap to make Griffith and his friends
WORK for his EXEC! TIONFRS. To give the
matter the blackest kind of impress, they speak of his
declination as "a most unpleasant condition of
things." They do not fell why he was stricken
from the ticket, leaving the people to form whatever
conjecture their imaginations may siigge-t. Wl v
not specify the charges and put in the pi.a ot de
fence which all rmii ol "principle and mlegrity"
hava a right To expect V"a, to demand
From w hat we can learn front Mr. Griffith's poli-
I tical If.ends, he is guilt v of having -aid some very
hard and indicut things of the Mcthodi-t Church.
Now, This is either true or faDe.— If true, be de
serves the contempt ot till honorable men—it lalse,
every principle which b nds man to his fellow man
demanded lui hoi est dejence at the hands of his
friends. But the siimu arv manner in which they
hurled hirn from their ticket is the best evidence in
the world that they con-ider him guilty in manner
and form as Mr. WM. COOK, of Bloody Run, de
i dared the indictment, threatening him with a In s <>f
i 100 votes in West Piovnience township alone ! Now,
: it guilty, (add his own party say he is.) conld Mr.
Jordan X Co. offer a more deliberate insult to the
Methodist Church than they have in making the pro
i riamation that "Griffith stands higher in their r-ti-
mar ion NOW than he ever did before!" We have
heard ot men "leaving their countiv lor their coun
try's good," ami now we have to rerorri tiie Grand
High Sachem of Know Nothingism in Bedford comi
ty as having his ticket for the '-good of bis party!"
William first tried to check the progress of Me
thodism— then of (. atholoeism—and ended hi- poli
enl witchery in the annihilation of himself!—th< fi
nal reward of all demagogues.
How much better has '-the party" made matters
by taking BARNHART—with the flagrant declara
tion staring the people in the face that "he VOLUN
TARILY permitted himself to lie SACIiIFICKD
two years ago" to carry out the frea-onalde midnight
plots of the Know Nothing-! Whilst this hum! ha
ting confession is made in hi- own partv organ, it is
well known to mosr of onr citizens that no man in
Bedford denounced the Know Nnthu gs with more
severity Than did Adam Barnhart, and now we are
told hv his friends that this was all a TRICK to de
ceive Democrats, many of whom voted for him thro'
the perpet rat ion ot this grn-- rnoial fraud. He vo
lunteered to say to Democrats that he would not
join the dark-lantern Order for all the offices in the
count) —that it was a disgrace arid a nut- to the
country—that he mo t heartily despi'ed it, &c. fcc.
—facts which can be proved by such men as Hon,
"John (hs-na, Mr. Lawrence Jamison, Mr. Wm.
Chenoweth, and many others of the same standing in
society. Who, then, i- willing to endorse the as
sertion of Mr. Jordan that Mr. Barnhart is a "strict'
ly moral and upright man," with such violations of
morality fa-tened upon him? Above all things in
the world the aspirant to a Judgeship should he a
man of TRUTH. Voter, remember that whilst A
dam Barnhart was profes-ing the greatest hostility
to Know Nothings, he was a SWORN member of the
order anil so zealous was he for its success ihat he
VOLUNTEERED a personal SACRIFICE FOR the
GOOD Ob IHL t'AUSKI" U ill honest ireemen,
of any party, sanction -nrh conduct as this'
We are told that Know Nothingism is made tip of
both the old parties, whilst every u an on that ticket,
except an And tor, is of the old Whig Party. When
Griffith was to he struck off. who had been a Demo
crat, why not take Dar.ie! B. Wisegarver, or some
niari as good as him? Because it would not do to
rake any matt who bait ever been tainted with DE
MOCRACY ? Let Democrats look at this , and come
home.
THK CHEAT TRIAI. FOR TREASON. —The black-re
publican party stands arraigned before the people on
the charge ot attempting to revolutionize the gov

aga n-t trie United States. The evidence of its guilt
amounts to a demonstrat on. Indeed, it is self-con
virted—caught in the act. It remain- now only for
the people to pas- sentence upon it. On the dth of

strike terror into the hearts of the boldest of the

: Mr. minor Bets no—and of couise will win the mo

Gen. Bowman:—After a considerable time spr.t
1 in serious reflection, i have come to the conc'.u-inn
that it i- my dutv to vvithdiaw from the Know No
thing Order, and to give my reasons ioi doing so.—
To the best of mv recollection I joined the Older in
December, 1 S3l, under the mo-1 solemn a-siirunces
that it wa- designed to correct the errors ot the old
i parties, which was all gammon, lor its leaders turn
ed out 10 he the cast off "scum" of creation. They
i professed to make opposition to CATHOLOCISM
I the leading feature of the dark conspiracy, and now,
| in less than two years, they want to elect Fremont,
a CATHOLIC, to the Presidency .' ! Could any thing
j portray their infamy in more glating rolois than
i this { I ani fully satisfied that Know Noth;ngitn
■ was conceived in fraud and treachery, and that it i-
the child of ABOLITIONISM; seeking to elvevate
the negro to the disgrace of the white man—hence 1
have determined to rally under the glorious Flag of
Democracy, and aid iri the pro-trat'on of Know
Xothiugi-rn to the best of my ability, and 1 hope that
every man who was deceived a< 1 wa will come

oi them must know, the jnju-tice and untruths con
tuilied in these attacks. lint as such hopes appear to
he fruitless, repugnant a- it is to me to appear in any
way before the public, I feel that it is a duty that 1
owe to tr.e memory of my husband to -av to you, Ins
executors, and through you to the politic, that the
charges made against my sou James ale utterly am!
unqualifiedly false; that he posse-sed The lore, les

both his .attier and inv-elf a most affectionate and

We submit to The candid consideration of that por
tion of ltie KU-MORK party, who are really oppo-ed to
an affiliation with the F KKMCIN r disunion am! Aboli
tion party, the following, which we find in the col
li,lis of the Ledger:
"The New York Herald speaking by authority for
the Fremont party, follows up Greeley's constant
abuse of the friends of Fillmore, on Thursday last,
Sept. IS, iti the following choice and elegant ex
tract :
"• lil associations corrupt good manners;' and
the extent to which this fact lias been proved bv the
association- of respectable men with the Know-Noth
ing Lodges is most remarkable. It has made the
amiable .Mr. Tillmore himself a blatheiiug disunion
ist. and Ins organs the rao-l abandoned of vagabond
presses, i here are many rc-pectahle and honorable
deluded men in the Know Nothing ramp; but it-,
pi er ad mg atmosphere is redolent of had whiskey
and rowdyism. We dure say that, in the lump, a
more beastly, brutalized.contemptible, ruffianly.am!
disgusting faction has never existed in any civilized
Community. The basest instincts of brutalized hu
man nature —the meanest and vilest passions and
prejudices of the proiessional thief, loafer and vaga
bond are the gailrage upon which tins monster of
Know Nothmgism leeris. From the beginning the
concern was invested with some of the elements oi a
public nuisance fiorn which we vainly endeavored
to liberate it; but from comparative respectability,
it has descended to the lowest level of tilth and deg
radation. its leading organs and orators go about
like scavengers on duty, and carry with them the re
pulsive odors of scavengers."
This is from the pen of one of the purchased edi
tors of the daily journal ; and yet, a majority of the
FILLMORE party support the FREMONT fusion State
ticket in Pennsylvania, ami are urged to vote for it
in October, thereby aiding the friends of the free ne
gro and woolly-hor-e candidate for the Presidency.—
The time has been when freemen would spurn all as
sociation with a party that continually vvepe heaping
such attrocions insults upon them and their candi
date.—F ntifjlvawian.
