The Three Judaic*. The feeling of mortification and indignation excited by the treachery ot the three individ uals in the Pennsylvania legislature, who, elec ted by their constituency as democrats, had the lack ol shame and honor to vote for Simon Cam eron, the republican candidate fur United States senator, is growing deeper and deeper, both in the Keystone State and in the country, at large, every day, as the enormity of the treason is de liberately comprehended. The first impulse everywhere, on the receipt of the humiliating tidings, was to vent upon tin* three Judase.s maledictions. Every democratic exchange that had in season received the news came to us levelling their curses upon tiiein. Every re publican exchange that came to us exulting over the election of Cameron, hut ominously si lent as to those whose treachery was procured to secure it. The feeling ol' mortification was not concealed by the democracy, and, with a slight exception or two, was manifested in the silence of the opposition. A feeling of indigna tion at the defeat of Colonel Forney, under the peculiar circumstances, ran through the veins of the democracy, and through the veins of the republicans everywhere ran tingling a burning hiush of shame at the means by which General Cameron succeeded, that, in their very efiorts to conceal it, has been but th<* more openly re vealed. It is natural that it should be so. Treason is abhorred bv all nations and all paities, and on ly becomes more degrading than in itselt it is. when, as in this instance, it is suspected of be ing purchased with money. Tt is said that these three Pennsylvania Ju dases will now be rewarded with place and power by the opposition. V\*e wiii speak for the republicans once, and vouch that it will not be so. The old illustration is not yet so trite but that it may be called into service a gain. The American colonies pointed the fin ger of scorn at Benedict Arnold. i fie Engli>h gloried in the treason, hut they ever dispised the traitor. So the American democracy ton man point the finger of scorn at Lebo, Wagon seller, and Manear. The republican party may rejoice in the fruits of the (reason, but they will ever despise the traitors. There is no longer place and power for them : there is no longer respect towards them: there is no longer peace of mind fir them. The cruel injury thev havp done the party that, confiding in timrn, has warmed them into political life, is irreparable : hut the injury they hare, in thus doing, inflicted upon themselves, is what will carry with it a punishment terrible enough for each to hear. It is over. Let them 20! Lei them go where they can ! The republicans will not receive thenar and repudiation from her ranks and a sneer of contempt are all that the democracy will see fit to bestow Upon the three Jutlases.— Washington Union. THE FLORIDA JIDTANS. —The following letter from Cant. Casey, late Indian agent, written two days before his dealt), shows that he had given up all hope of the peaceful removal oi the Seminole Indians : "TAMPA LAY, (F'a.,) Dec. 23, 1806. "SIR : I have the honor to transmit here with, for the information of vonr excellency, 'official information,' just received, of an attack on the United Slates troops in the 'Big Cypress,' south of the Caloosahatchee, by the Indians. '-The Seminolf-s, finding no alternative left hut emigration or hostilities, have chosen the latter. Although a different result was strong ly hoped for, yet, in anticipation of this decis ion, me government nas nan, arm nas, a large force in the Indian country. I hope the troops will occupy the attention of the Indians near their homes, so as to leave them hot few wnr liors to spare for depredation on our frontier : but, in the meantime, and with the sanction oi Col. Mbnroe, (commanding United Statestroops in Florida,) I would respectfully suggest the propriety of promptly placing say two Compa nies of volunteers in position on Pea river, to give confidence and protection to the extreme frontier settlers. With great respect, votir obedient servant, JOHN' C. CASEY, Captain U. S. Army. His Excellency JAMES E. BROOME, Governor of Florida. Other accounts from South Florida show the prevalence of great alarm among the frontier settlers. Several companies of volunteers, in addition to those already in the service of the United Stales, were being organized for the purpose of affording protection to the inhabi tants. Supposed Discovery of lite Tower cf Babel. A correspondent ot the Boston Traveller, writing from Beirut, announces that .Mr. I'lare, the French Consul at Mosul, has discovered the ruins of the Tower of Babel. '•Six ot its eight stones have fallen and crum bled into dust : but the two which remain are so high that they may be seen tor fifty or sixty miles around. The base of the tower is quad rangular, and each side about six hundred feet long. The tower is made of bricks of the purest clay and of a white color, which is .1 little sha ded with a yellow tint. f nder a clear sun, as a whole, this ancient monument of human skill and daring presents a line blending ot colors, which s-ts the painter's pallet at defiance. Before being baked, the bricks had been covered with characters traced with the accuracy of the hand of a writing master. Near the top of the letters, the straight strokes were adorned with flourishes resembling the heads of nails. All was neat, regular and severe ; aiid, indeed, t fjose who saw these spe cimens of ancient cahgraphy affirm that the lathers of the human race wrote a better hand than their children. Among the interesting discoveries of M. Place, wore certain inscriptions on lillets of gold, silver and copper, and also upon a rnetal now unknown, and which has somewhat liw appearauce of ivory. It has been submitted to the experiments of an metallurgist, and its qual ities will soon be ascertained. Some very cu rious photographs, taken by ttie expedition, completed their labors, one of which was of the ruins of the palace o! the larrious Queen Seroi ranrtis. This ancient nionutnent, situated on the height of a mountain raised by the hands of men, overlooks the awful solitudes which sur round Lake Van—a body of water six or seven times larger than lake Geneva. NEW TOWNS TN KANSAS. —The Kansas Her ald says that two towns are now being laid out in that l'errrforv—one at the mouth of the Kan sas river, to be called Wvandott, and the other on the Missouri, four miles distant from the first, to be named Quindora.

You have just struck down the ser pent Abolition, but no sooner have you done this than vi u have been betrayed by those whom vou cherished as your own children. THEIR LUTSK I [XI?"The Abolitionists try to excuse themselves for their support of Gen. Cameron, by basely and mali ciously charging upon Col. FOKNKY all the crimes in the calendar of vice, and then crying out that it was a "c hunt of evi/s," and they tooi; the least —hi oth er words, that they weie compelled to choose be tween Forney anJ Cameron. Now, mark tiow a plain tale will upset their position. Suppose, for the sake of argument merely, you admit that Col. Forney is ail that his meanest enemies charge upon him, did that justify the opposition to the Democra cy 111 taking a man whom their entire party had de nounced, two years ago, as a "fit representative of nothing good, ami a lit exponent ol r.o honorable principle'"—as one who had procured his nomination 111 caucus by the "cohesive power of I'LL NDHIt," and l, by wholesale I'U!\Ali. BRIBERY 1 —One whom JORDAN arid 27 other K. N. members of the Legislature had solemnly declared they could not vote tor without -'violating their oaths and throwing away their self-respect V They say they had to choose between the two persons named! Is this true.' Can any hone-t man of any party ?ay so ! When Gen. FOSTER and hi> seven friends declared, publicly, that They would not support the regular nominee, this rendered the election of Mr. Forney utterly impossible. The opposition then had the power, on the lirst vote, to have elected lien. FOSTER, whom they all now exult over as a man who would have done honor to tire trust, but they had deter mined, long in advance, to elect no body but Camer on, whether through a disposition to da right, or by the "cohesive power of plunder and wholesale •>ri vci/f Bribery personally applied, is for the people to determine for themselves. Gen. Foster must i'eel highly complimented with the ,\y at pa thiri expressed for hun by the rotten sheets of Abolitionism, whilst their party in the Legislature took Cameron over his head, having full power to have elected him. No matter who the Democrats hail nominated, the result would have been the same. If the Abolition members of the Senate and House had possessed a spark of patriotism or political honesty, how beauti tnily they could have exhibited the fact to the world, by saying to the eight friends of Foster:—"Now, as the Democracy have a clear majority 011 joint ballot, and are entitled to elect the Senator, if you will name an unexceptionable man, qualified by nature and ed ucation tor the place, we will go with you and elect him." Or, had they even named a man of high mor al character and capacity in their own party, and called upon the friends of Foster to join them in e lecting an opponent of Mr. Buchanan, Ihey would have manifested -one respect for common decency ; but as tilings stand, every honest citizen will brand them as having prrfr.rrni Cameron to any other man in the State. There is no escape. £XF* Fr. Jordan fv Co. make extracts from the Ga zette, written some six years.ago, to show Die opin ion we entertained of Gen. Cameron at that timr, and give this as incontrovertible evidence that he is the man of all others that should have been selected lor the post oi Senator. Bui this won't answer. Withina much shorter period, some men who stood at the very head of the highest circles in the coun try, are now paying the penalty of their had conduct by incarceration in the Penitentiary. What u man was six years ago, and what he is now, is altogether a different state of a Hairs. All men must have a shirting point in degradation, and we are willing to let Gen.

CCr* ' nder this head the opposition to the Demo cracy are called upon to rally on Tuesday evening of the approaching court to appoint delegates toa State Convention to nominate a candidate tor Governor and Supreme Judge. It seems they do riot intend to nominate a candidate forCaria! Commiss. inner. Now mark the fulfilment of our prophecy. We told the people last fall that our opponents would never en gage ,11 another contest under the name of "Ameri cans,'' and even now they admit the fact. The word ''American" is not found in the call—so that that cla-. of tnen are invited to .take a back seat. Ihe party went to bed, as ti.ey ex posed, " Ameri cans," and, on arising, lind them-elves initiated "Republicans," or, in piain words, "Abolitionists;" and Jordan fx Co. exppcts them to swallow the "Buz zard,"' feathers, rnsides, and all. Wiff they do it? T!ip CUambcrsburg Repository aid Simou CAMERON. Two years ago the Chambersburg Keprsitory de clared in the following emphatic mantrr again-t Simon Cameron, after he received the Lv. N. caucus nomination for 11. S- Senator: "We protest against the election of Simon f amer on. Destitute of principle himself, he can represent no principle with fidelity ; and eminent only for his political cunning and intrigue, he can give character to no party, credit to the friends of no administra tion, and success to no honest effort. 1 "Ami is a man who is the honest exponent of no principle and has long since forfeited all claim to puhlieconfidenee to be chosen as the embodiment and representative of Americanism '?" "He opposed the American movement until it was declared the party of'power, and now he hovers over the triumphant train to -'"t his insatiate appetite at the cost ot its INIEGRI ' I —yea, it> YLK Y FX IST ENC El!" In addition to the above, the K. N sol the county of Franklin, on the l.'Jth ol February, 18-55, assem bled in the Borough of Chambersburg, and solemnly denounced CAMERON as a "Political GAMBLER, a head and shoulders taller than ANY man now living in political INFAMY." They close their address in the following words. Read thern carefully : "Gentlemen, has Simon Cameron any claim upon us? Most certainly not. For even had he been one of the fit-t to enlist under our Flag, his conduct as a member of the old democratic party should l.ave been sufficient to warn us against hnn. No party owns him —no HONEST party should." And, we may add, no honest party does! Less than two vears ago the Chambersburg Repo sitory and its followers thus denounced Cameron, anil now that same sheet hold- him up as the very paragon of honesty and patriotism, proclaiming bis election a double triumph, having added Republican ism to bis Americanism; and the editors say they "rejoice in his election and offer the whole country their warmest congratulations" in honor of the re sult ! Such a "Buzzard Fea.-t" was never hetore served up to the masses of our opponents. Will they partake of it? Will it go down? From what we have heard within the past few days, we are inclin ed to believe that a very large body of inert who have heretofore acted against the Democracy will spurn the degradation as they would a loathsome pesti lence. Some have already said so publicly. But we are not done. We have a few extracts to make trorn the address of the man who boasts of his '•lux/I moral character and his "t/e tru.se of hon or." for the especial benefit of our opponents iri Bed ford county. On the 1 "2th of February, 18.15, Ft:. JORDAN, in the Borough of Harrisburg. signed his name to an ad dress published by himself and those who acted with him in the Legislature, from which we make the following extract: "Cameron is one of the most corrupt politicians in the State —his name as a Statesman has never been associated with the word —he is a tit representative of nothing good, a fit exponent of no honorable prin ciple— his election would di-gr.ice the American or ganization and our native State—to elect liim would be to throw away our self-respect, sacrifice our in tegrity, and violate our oath—tie obtained his nom ination by the cohesive power of plunder, and (he super-added element of shameless and wholesale pri va * e bribery —he has declared in favor of the Nebras ka Kan-as Bill and has denounced Americans as pro scriptive and anti-republican—invite ns not to par take ol such a Bu.'./.ariLls l east—even should Came ron change his opinion upon these questions, there is not character enough in the man to impose upon credulity itself." Such was the deliberate judgment of Mr. Jordan two years ago—and, a few days since, without a word of explanation to justify his gross prostitution of the place he degrades, he voted for this same man, and proclaims through his mouth-piece "we have carried off the prizt of the session—ound the hew gog and the torn torn, and let the earth tremble in view of our great morn! triumph to which a feeble response comes tip ftorit Wood berry. at which one Samuel Blake made a speech—no other names are civen a narUslpaiits m this Buzzaid Jubilee But, perhaps, the most revolting pait of .'or,- DAN'S conduct is found in his article I.e.tiled "Fou- NEY AND CAMERON, " in which he I!cr!arc, in effect, that he and the other members of the Legislature who preferred the above charges again*; Cameron, were actuated by downright malice—'-that they ra ked the purlieus of St. G:|e, arid Billingsgate, 1,1 or " der to express in tilting phrase, the malignity which rankled within thern." Jordan says further, "that Cameron was vindicated from every charge prefer red by himself and others, by the committee appoin ted to investigate his conduct." Now, if this were not a gross lie, manufactured expres-!y i'or the occasion, how does it come that this man of "high moraPcharactcr" and "nice sen-e of honor" did not* promptly acknow ledge the deep wrong he and his colleagues had done Cameron in the address they publisher!,anil from which we make the above extracts. Two years pass, with all these charges resti: g up on Cameron, and neither Jordan rior any member of the factions with which he acts, ever intimated that the "Committee of Investigation" had honorably exonerated him from any of the charges they them selves preferred. f, this the virtue which makes Black Republican's men of "high moral character and a nice sense of honor I If so, save the country irorn such morals and such honor. C y 1 htee creatures elected as Democrats, pledg ed to carry out Democratic Principles, betray the sacred trust committed toihem by the people of their respective Districts, in violation of every principle of honor, and the Black Republicans herald their act to the world as a great popular triumph for then par ty, and assert that they will carry the State next fall by the same means! One ihrng they will learn, however—arid that is that whilst a ptthlir may sometimes degrade himself for gold, the PEOPLE can never be bought. No matter how much a con stituency may he in error, the man who represents them in a Legislative body is bound either to carry out their principles or re-ign. Who dare assert an opposite principle—and yet the Abolitionists glory in irie act of three men corruptly disobeying the will of those who elected them. E7"Mr. Smith, one of the apostates in the Legis lature. says the Democrats of Cambria and West moreland will speak in thunder tones in favor of those recreants who refused to be governed by the usages of the party. When they do, we will re cord the fart, but they appear to be slow in making the proclamation. We have a higher opinion of the riobie men who inhabit that region, and cannot be lieve that they will stoop to so mean an act to oblige any set of boiling Democrats. fCT Because G. Nelson Smith walked six miles with his daddy to vote for Jackson, he is of opinion he can now treat his constituents with impunity, and that they will even applaud him for his treache ry. We shail next expect to hear that old hoary headed Traitor, Penrose, claim las right to identifi cation with the Democracy because he, too, voted for Jackson ! CfT'VVe venture to say that no man in Pennsylva nia more heartily despises the men who voted for hirn than does Cameron himself, lie courted their sup port, and got it, we presume, in the same way he procured his nomination in 's">, but he will hate them through life for their conduct towards him on that occasion. Among the despised, he will look upon Jordan with thegreatest contempt. 83* t apt. G. N cr.sox SMITH, one of the men who relused to go into caucus in the selection of a Sena tor, and who afterwards voted against the regular nominee, writes two column- in justification of bis course, and publishes the same in !he Johnstown Echo, over which he has entire control. Instead, however, of offering any solid reason to sustain his violation of Democratic usage, he breaks out ina long tirade against the (i ßsdfort£ Ciazr //e," and declares that the apostates are the peers of its editor in all that constitutes the gentleman and the Democrat. It's well, perhaps, lor those who stand condemned by the public to have an exalted opinion of them selves. About this we will r.ot quarrel. But the constituents ol Mr. Smith would lather hear from him ori this point:—'' YV a- it not your plain d"tv to have gone into caucus, and, aiter having failed in getting the candidate of your choice, was it not e qually your duty to have been governed bv the ac tion ot the majority, this being the very essence of the principle upon which free government rests for support. In teiusTng to do this did you not proclaim your contempt for the great iule by which ail men are chosen to office, and thus render yourself justly liable to he branded as a tuaitoh to the party that elected you J" What right hud you and seven oth ers to set your judgment against that of all the other Democrats in the Legislature ? It Col. Forney wa< not honorably before the Legislature, would your colleagues not have discovered the fact as well as yourselvs, and hid they net the manliness to have rejected anything squinting at dishonor? The conrse of Mr. Smith and his associates was as in sulting to the other Democratic member- of the Leg islature as it was to the nominee. Because he did riot vote for Mr. Cameron direct, Mr. Smith thinks he stands fair on the record. Remember "he that i> not for us i.- against us," and he who refuses to dis charge a plain duty drtegnlrtl to Jim by the prop's, is as bad, if not worse, than the man who goes over body and breeches. We do not say, nor do we think, that Mr. Smith and those who acted with him were governed by a con opt pcctiniaiv motive, but the <ouscjurnrrs ot' their course was just as fatal to the interests of the Democratic party and the people, as was the course of Wagon-eller, Leho, and Manear. Intact, if matters could be probed to the bottom, we have no doubt it would be found that the three scape goats named were only fully operated upon alter tlu v totlnd such men as Mr. Foster and ins friends openly denouncing Mr. Forney, and declaring their inten tion not to suppott him. After the fearful struggle of la s t fall, which decided the fate of this I'ntott in favor of the right, we do not believe that the three irptri who voted for the Abolition candidate, could have been bought to perpetrate the disgraceful act, had they not received an impulse from the actions of the apostates who "protested" against being govern ed by the MAJORITY. Let those who undertake to defend Mr. Foster and his friends, argue the real point in controversy, and not hide the main question by talking about their abilities and their former s-t --vice.s and standing. These have nothing to do with the controversy. Let us have the org""< for tin a-serlion that the public servant who withholds his support from a usage which ha- been recognized since the organization of the Democratic party, s not as bad as the one who boldly disregards it and goes over to the common enemy, and then we can tell w hat it amounts to. We will have no quarrel with any professing Dem ocratic paper on this subject. We have honestly expre.-ed our views, not because it is agreeable to our feelings to have to denounce those with whom we have heretofore arietl as brethren, or ar.y body ele, hut because, as a sentinel on the watch-tower, it is our duty to cry aloud and spaie not. We abhor litigation and harsh controversy, and will not engage in it except when we caiFt help it. If Mr. Fostek art? his friends had promptly ac knowledged their error, instead ot attempting to fetid it. how -lineh more HIUI1| . ... „I.l rr a ve been their course ! OCT" A Ijttle whiskered B'hoy, by the name of Nrn K: ! \A\, a few years ago started a paper in West moreland called the "Democrat," about the time when that glorious old county, known a- the "Star of the West," gave between '2, 1u11) and '5,000 Demo cratic majority. Since that time taction crept into our ranks there, and this tremendous majority ha beeri reduced to almost nothing —in tact the enemies of Democracy have occasionally triumphed, the nec essary consequence of having such miserable leaders, whose very appearance would make an honest Dem ocrat turn away with disgust. This B'hoy sheet gives several columns in vindication of !ho-e who violated a sacred tru-t placed in their bands by the people, made up not of any argument to show that they were right, but of wholesale denunciation of the Penn-ylv anian, Craw lord Democrat, Bedford Gazette,&v. Among other things, this B'hoy says "Bowman did all in hi- power to sell out the west ertt I'o'tnociacy and SAC'ltli ICE that good old man Fkanci, M. bin xk to build up Henry A. Muhlen berg." Strange that Gov. Shunk shoo! 1 have inci ted the man who thus treated him to take a seat in his cabinet 1 Wasn't it ? He says further that the "Gazette DI.XOI NCEI) a movement to nominate Jatr.es Buchanan for the Presidency-." Here, again, tin- hairy little B'hoy lies under a mistake! No "denunciation" ol Mr. Buchanan ever found its way into the columns of the Gazette. We committed ail trior once in running tip the name ot the next greatest man in the State (Geo. M. Dallas, now Minister to England,) as our choice for the Pre sidency, but in doing so we did not deem it necessa ry to denounce one whom we had cherished in our heart from the first publication of the Gazette under our control. Hoisting the name of Mr. Dallas was a mere experiment to ascertain whether our sister States ever designed doing justice to Penn-ylvania. It turned out, however, that notwithstanding the exalted estimation in which Mr. Dallas was held in Bedford county, and thioughout the State, Bedford county was enthusiastically in favor of "Old Buck," but the following te-olution unanimously passed by the county meeting called expressly to signify its preference for Mr. Buchanan shows conclusively that our people never entertained the idea that our ' course was prompted by unworthy motives: Feb. 7, 1818, "Resolved, That in Geo. W. Bow- ' " man we recognize the able, fearless, and indeluti " gable editor, that for his efficient aid to the Demo " cratic rail- tie is entitled to democratic support "and APPLAUSE. And, although we differ with ; >• hirn fortune, in the choice of a candidate for the Piesidencv. we cheerfully award this sentiment to 4i his worth, not doubting that the nominee of the "Convention will receive our united and cordial sup " port." Had we denounced Mr. Buchanan that meeting would have denounced and not thus complimented us. And although it did not even request us to take down the name of Mr. Dailus, and substitute that of Mr. Buchanan, we done so in the issue of our paper which appeared the next day. So much for the re cord. The Bedford Gazette never attempts to lead, but is always ready to obey the popular will, when manifested by the people. ffyVVe invite attention to the proceedings of a democratic meeting held in Martinsburg, Blair coun ty. which will be found on the first page.

We would have said this of him up to the very moment we heard he refused to carry out the principles of the party to which he is indebted for all the political ho nors that ever decorated his blow. We always liked foster—there is something about him peculiarly at tractive in his per-ona! intercourse—and, in denoun cing las recent "treachery." it is not necessary, nor do we desire, to take bi ck any good thing we ever said concerning him. We mourn over the political fall of a man like Fo-ter. A love for promotion, and not a (ORRCPT motive, actuated him in the error he committed. But why did'nt our opponents elect him? They had the power on lir-t ballot.
