A KKVOM'TIONARY CENTENNAUIAN.
0(1 Tuesday last, our town was honored
with a visit from GEN. JAS. BURNS, SR., of
Juniata township, one of the surviving soldiers
of the American Revolution. This venerable
n an is now upwards of one hundred years and
six months of age, and is still vigorous and
healthy, lie was at the battle of Brandywine
and at Valley Forge, and subsequently was en
gaged in the protection of the frontier. Though
a mere youth when in the army ofth* Revolu
tion, he attracted the notice of Washington,
with whom he was on familiar terms. His
first vote was cast for Washington, and ever
since the organization of the Democratic party,
fie has been a steady adherent to its men and
measures. To see this veteran and hear him
tell of his early days, makes one feel like ex
claiming, with Moore,
O for the swords of former time,
() for the men who bore them !
When armed for right, they stood sublime,
And tyrants crouched before them!
Harrisburg Telegraph, ashamed of
I lie action ol the Black Republican House of
Representatives in refusing to repeal the Extra
Pay law, and anxious to bolster up that cor
rupt and unprincipled body, assails Messrs.
Welsh and Schell, the two Democratic Sena
tors who originated the anti-Extra Pay move
ment in the Senate, and endeavors to place
them before the people in a false position.—
The whole truth concerning this matter, is as
follows: On Friday, the first inst., when the
Appropriation Bill was in consideration by the
Senate, Mr Welsh offered an amendment to re
duce the pay of members from S7OO to SSOO
per year, to which amendment Mr. Schell
offered another to authorize the State Treasurer
to retain S2OO of the salary of members of the
last session. The amendment to the amend
ment was adopted, as was likewise the amend
ment thus amended, — Messrs Welsh and Schell
both voting in the affirmative. On the same
day, an evening session was ordered, lor the
consideration of private bills, at which session
scvrraT TTFTnoerals who acted with them, seized
the opportunity to reinstate in the Appropria
tion Bill, the §>2oo Extra-Pay clause, by sus
pending (he rules and taking up that bill out
of order. Mr. Schell was not present at this
session, having been called to Philadelphia on
important business. Had he been present, he
would have voted as he did before, against the
Extra Pay. As lor Mr. Welsh, who was
present, he did vote in opposition to the mo
tion to re-insert the §>7oo salary. The vote
upon this question will be found on page 539
of the Legislative Record, to which we reler
ail who desire to learn the facts concerning the
matter. Jhe Telegraph , as will be seen by the
Record , tells a deliberate falsehood when it
says that no one voted against the restoration
of the Extra Pay clause. Six Democrats and
but two Republicans recorded their votes in the
negative. The Telegraph, cannot whitewash
its own partisans by such silly attempts to show
inconsistency in Democrats.
HORRIBLE DEATH BY FIRE.
\\ illiam Croyle, a young lad, a son of Joseph
Croylo, of Union township, in this county,
was burned to death on the night of the| fifth
inst., at Mr. Reesy's, between Ebensburg and
Strongstown, Cambria county. It seems that
young Croyle was along with a party who
were moving the family and effects of Mr.
Joseph Burket, and had left home the dav
previous. The party put up at Mr. Reesy's
and retired for the night. About one o'clock
at night, Mr. John Imler, one of" the moving
party, discovered that the house was on fire and
immediately gave the .alarm. He found the
rest all sound asleep, but broke open the doors
of their bed-room and at once roused them to a
sense of their danger. Six persons were rescued
by being thrown out of windows by Mr. Jacob
Burket and caught below by Mr. Imler. It
was now asked whether the whole paity were
safe, and no one seemed to be absent. A rush
was then made for the stable, to get out the
horses, when it was observed that young Croyle
did out come Ibr his ; whereupon lie was at once
searched fir, and horrible to tell, w'as found
burned almost to a cinder ! with his arms and
legs severed from his body by the burning!-
His remains were buried on the spot, but were
afterwards taken up by his relatives and friends,
antf re-imerred at St. Clairsville, on the 10th
mat.,, where a large number of sympathising
people followed the mangled corpse of the
unfortunate boy to its grave. It is said by Mrs.
Burket that she conversed with young Croyle,
outside of the house, when it was in flames.
iss.ioes Were also found outside. The over-'
coats, hats, shoes and , rany o(her
belonging ,o the rest of the companv, were
consumed. I, ls su, ip()S( . t | , hat lhi . fire .

GEN. BOWMAN.
The wolves ol (lie Opposition press, howl
most piteously over the purchase oi the \\ ash
mgton Union by (Jen. Bowman. They trem
ble at the power of that pen which they long
since learned to fear. Wo to their corruptions
and wo to their intrigues, when probed by that
penetrating stylus ! But aside from these
wolves, there are those whose swinish propen
sities entitle them to a less honorable appella
tion, who delight in grunting an echo to the
ullulations of their more respectable brethren.
As for these, they need not fear that Gen. Bow
man will stir them up in their sty; he will not
"cast his pearls belore swine," especially not
before such whose chief ambition is to waliow
in the mire of John W. Forney's falsehood and
treachery.
Gen. Bowman has changed the name ol his
paper to that of the " Constitution ." VVe have
not, as yet, received a copy of the publication.
On receipt of it, we shall inform our readers
concerning its nature and appearance. Mean
while, we copy the subjoined extracts, which
are but three among hundreds ol similar no
tices of Gen. Bowman's new enterprise :
THE WASHINGTON UNION.— The telegraph
announces that Gen. Bowman, Superintendent
of Public Printing, has purchased the above pa
per. If he has, we may safely predict a mar
ked improvement in that journal. Gen. 8.,
has given great satisfaction to the public in the
way lie has discharged the duties of his present
office. lie has brought order out of the chaos,
and reduced the expenses of public printing far
below what tfiey were under his predecessor. —
We trust he may be successful in any enter
prise he undertakes, and, as he is a practical
printer, he is just the man to take hold ol the
Union and make it a profitable concern.—\"ew
York Day Book.
THE WASHINGTON UNION.— It has been an
nounced that tr.e Washington Union will soon
pass info the hands ol Gen. Geo. W . Bowman, at
present Superintendent of Public Printing. We |
think the change will be highly acceptable to j
the Democratic party at laige. Gen. Bow- |
man has large experience as an editor. He is j
a man whose moral and political character are |
alike free from reproach, and his honest and
fearless discharge of the duties of the office to
which he was called by Mr. Buchanan have ad
eed fresh laurels to his fame. We shall gladly
welcome Gen. Bowman back to the editorial
ranks, and claim for him a hearty reception
from the whole Democratic fraternity. We
hope the Union under his judicious manage
ment may be made a new bond to bind togeth
er the true friends of the country everywhere.

THE WASHINGTON UNION. — It has been an
nounced by telegraph that Cornelius Wendell
Esq., has sold the Washington Union to Gen
eral Geo. W. Bowman, Superintendent of Pub
lic Printing, the tiansfer to be made in about
two weeks. Gen. Bowman was for twenty-five
years the editor and publisher of the Bedford
-Gazette, in this State, and is a gentleman of tal
ent and integrity, as well as an orthodox and
consistent Democrat.— Piilsburgh Pot!-
Trrttrnirtr.
On Saturday last, as Mr. Samuel Barnhart,ol
this place, was driving his six horse road teanr
over the bridge at the "Narrows," a shorl
distance below town, the flooring and suppoi tin>j
timbers of the bridge, gave way, and the wagor
and four of the horses attached to it, droppec
through into the stream beneath ! The deptl
of the water under the bridge, is estimated t<
have been from twelve to fifteen feet. Tin
wagon was loadened, principally, with flour
the weight of the whole load being about 10(
cwt. A considerable quantity ol the flour wa
lost and some of the remainder damaged so a
to render its sale of no advantage to the owner
The four horses that went through the bridg
with the wagon, were raved, which seem
miraculous, indeed, when we think of th
height they fell (some 25 feel) and the dange
of their entanglement in the harness and wagon
gears, in the deep water into which they wer
plunged. Mr. Barnhart's own escape is
matter to be wondered at. Just as the timber
began to ciack and sink beneath his team, h
stepped from the portion of the bridge that wen
down, lie had been walking with the twofron
horses (which escaped by the breaking of th
coupling chain) and thus was saved from tin
perilous fall which otherwise would hav
awaited him. Take it all in all, this acciden
was most extraordinary.

CONN ECTICIT ELECTION.
The Black Republicans, Abolitionists and
Know Nothings combined, have been success
fuljin Connecticut, as they have been invariably
for the last five years. Their majority, howev
er, is small, compared with what it was in
lormer years, and the Demociats have gained
handsomely in both houses of the Legislature.
Had not unfair and extraordinary means been
resorted to, theje is no doubt lhat the Demo
crats would have been victorious. From the
article copied below, which is taken fiom a
respectable and reliable Connecticut journal,
it appears that votes were shipped from adjoin
ing States, and that money was freely used, to
secure the success ol the Mongrels. It re
mains for Pennsylvania Democrats, to wipe out
this outrage upon the ballot-box, and they
will do it on the second Tuesday of October
next, or they are not the men we take them
to be. The following will giveour readers an
idea of the trickery and frauds of the Connecti
cut Opposition :
[From the Hartford Times, April sth.]
They (the Rep.) have elected these men by
one of* the most extraordinary efforts ever made
in Connecticut. Had a Presidential election
been pending, they could have made no greater
exertions. They were aided by all of the
Northern States, on the ground that if defeated
upon their Congressmen they would be in a
minority in the next House of Representatives,
and this would cut them off from electing a
President bv the House, in case the peojile
should make no choice. With this view of
the case, Hie Abolitionists of tbe entire North
brought their efforts to bear upon Connecticut,
and money was showered upon the State in
floods. Ten dollars for a vote was repeatedly
offered, and we have heard that as high as $23
for a single man was offered by the Abolition
managers. The cars caine into the State loaded
with their voters, legal and illegal, on Saturday
and Monday, and a greatly increased vote was
polled.
Laborers were told that they should vote the
Abolition ticket, or be discharged from their
places, and ballots printed upon yellow paper
were placed in their hands—their situation as
employees depending upon the condition of
putting those marked yellow ballots into the
ballot box. Such tyrranny, by a party that
makes no issue in the country except that of
j slavery, must be shocking to the mind of all
i libera! minded freemen.
By such revolting means—by bribery, threats, I
and corruption—by the most lavish use oi A
money—have the Democracy been defeated.
But though defeated, they have waged a gal
lant contest, and have polled undoubtedly the
largest vote they have ever given in the State ;
a vote that will grow larger, year by year, as
the corruption and the dangerous doctrines of
the Abolitionists are more thoroughly and
calmly considered by the people. The State
cannot long be held by the "irrepressible con
flict" party that is waging a bitter war against
a portion of the independent States of the
Union.
When the votes are canvassed,"it will be

they will very soon achieve a triumph. In
all parts of the State our friends have worked
with a zeal and constancy worthy of the great
national party to which they are attached.

ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE ' i
COMMITTEE.
The Democratic Slate Committee appointed ;
by the President of tlie 16th ol March Conven- j
tion,met pursuant to the published call of the
Chairman, at the Merchants' Hotel, Philadel
phia, on Thursday, I7tr ins!., and after effec
ting permanent organization, adopted an Address ,
written with great ability, and containing f
sound and wholesome views concerning the j
present condition ol the party. The Address
fully exposes the treacherous designs of Forney j
and his disorganizing co-adjutors, and distinct
ly draws a just and proper line of dematkalion, '
beyond which no man dare place his loot and
afterwards claim to be a Democrat. Though j
we shall publish this able and interesting doc-!
ument entire, in our next, we cannot refrain
Irom giving our readers a foretaste of its quali
ties, by quoting in this connexion the conclu
ding paragraph :
Democrats of Pennsylvania, with energetic
preparation and with true hearts, we have
victory within our grasp. Our lines broken,
not by the enemy, who had not the strength to
do it, but by ourselves, have been re-established.
Oui veteran legions, never yet beaten on an
equal field, have been filled up with fresh levies
—the old banners are being advanced, and we
hear the steady tramp of a conquering army,
and behold those Hying hordes, whose robber
watchword is not patriotism or honor, nor the
power and prosperity of the nation, but private
booty, the oppression of classes, and lawless
agitation against Governments and Constitu
lions. The time has gone by for small things
and small men. We have something more
serious to engage our attention and our efiorts
than the miserable trade carried on by base
politicians, who are always in the habit of
making their personal successes in acquiring
oliices, or personal disappointments, the test of
the true value of principles or party. The
Constitution —the Union—our free institutions
—our prosperity—the security of property
our liberties —are all cast in the balance of a*
few years of political history. Should
Pennsylvania, the hitherto great High Priestess
of Peace and Law-abiding conservatism, veil
her glorious countenance in sorrow, and surren
der her trust and her person to the sectional
Moloch, all is" indeed lost ! Rally, then—let
aD good men rally under the broad and glorious
flag of the Democratic Convention. Its Plat
form is the official proclamation of principles
and measures by the Democracy of Pennsylva
nia. The candidates nominated by the Con-
vention are upright, intelligent and able men,
without a stain on their reputation. Is it
possible that you can be prevailed upon to desert
it, and to bow down before the double-faced
i Idol of Know-Nothing Black Republican devo
j ion—a thing you otherwise despise—because
it may please certain vain apostates to throw a
| cover over its detestable features I No man
j who respects himself will be guilty of such
' moral and mental obliquity. Stand fast with
the old Democracy and participate in our
i approaching triumphs ; for as certain as our
I country survives, we also shall rise in the
i majesty of a just cause. Should you triumph
, 112 itru* ■i,f U.
I their ends, and i* no worse come of it, your
| part of thi rejoicing and profit will be, to
! march in the rear of a ♦'fusion'' procession,
I with the blush of shame upon your faces, hated
j and despised t by your mongrel associates.
APPEAL TO THE
| People of the State of Pennsylvania, for the
PURCHASE OK MOUNT VERNON.
Chosen to represent, in this State, the Jilo'mt
Vernon Ladies'* Association of the Union, 1
venture to appeal to the generous and patriotic
people of Pennsylvania, on this day, the anni
■ versary of the birth of WASHINGTON, for their
aid. in unison with people of other States, to
complete tin purchase of MOUNT VERNON, the
place of his residence and his tomb; arid to se
cure it forever as a public and enduring monu
ment of their unabated gratitude for his life-lone
services, and increasing veneration lor his il
lustrious name. Gratitude to cue whose life
was so generous and exalted; veneration of an
example, such as his, of virtues thai have so
elevated the character of a public man, may
well enlist the deepest sympathies of the wo
men of America, and embolden them to claim
the aid, not ol iheir own sex alone, but of every
one whojustly glories in being a countryman
of WASHINGTON, and whose heart is moved fr
actions the purest and noblest that man can ren
der to mankind.
The object of the . Mount Vtrnon Ladies' !
dissociation is to obtain, by voluntary contribu- |
lions, a sum necessary to purchase and hold :
forever, two hundred acres of the Mount Ver- i
non Estate, including the mansion where '
WASHINGTON dwelt and died, his tomb, the
garden and grounds around them, and the lan
ding at the Potomac by which they are ap
proached. Io collect this sum, \ ice-liegents
have been appointed in different States, v.-itb
lady-managers, associated committees of ladies,
and advisory committees of gentlemen, in tin
various counties, cities, and principal towns.—
Every person by whom one dollar, towards this
fund, is paid, becomes thereby a permanent
member of the Association, and is inscribed as
such in a record which will be preserved at
Mount Vernon. Similar arrangements will be
immediately organized throughout the State of
Pennsylvania, and a public announcement will
be given of the persons by whom subscriptions
will be received and the registry of the names
be made.
A large amount has been already collected
from places where these arrangements have
been completed. The public press, so influen
tial in good works, has lent its powerful aid.
Associations established for philanthropic pur
poses—the fraternity of Free Masons, to which
WASHINGTON himself belonged; that of the Odd
Fellows; the voluntary military companies and
firemen, and numerous bodies assembling to
gether lor objects of utility and benevolence,
have everywhere exhibited the deepest interest)
and united in this noble eflort with the most
liberal spirit. Patriotic individuals have come
forward, with prompt sympathy, to lead and
encourage their several communities; and the
cheering piospect is held out that this wide
pervading spirit, spreading through all parts of
our common country, is insuring complete suc
cess.
Into this alliance of generous fellowship
Pennsylvania is now to enter. Always distin
guished by a devotion to works of voluntary
benevolence, which is an inheritance blended
with her name, she has, besides, peculiar asso
ciations connected with WASHINGTON, which
relate to liie noblest incidents of his great j
career. It was in Pennsylvania that, on the j
day when the delegates trom the colonies first j
met together, he appeared among them to join
in the task of forming a common country. It
was in Pennsylvania that, with unexampled
modesty, and touching expressions of anxious
but devoted patriotism, he accepted the com
mand of a little army, scarcely formed, and
assumed the responsibilities of an arduous war.
It was in Pennsylvania that, amid the fiercest
severities of winter, with troops almost famish
ing and naked, he partook of their hardships,
cheered their spii its, and kept them united to
win the triumphs to which he afterwards led
; them. It was to his "fellow soldiers and faith
ful followers in the military line of I'ennsyl
: vania," that he expressed, when the war was
| closed, and with a mind deeply affected, his
i grateful sense of their attachment and aid. It
was in Pennsylvania that he placed his ail
| conciliating name to the Constitution which
has cemented the Union; it was here that he
became its first and most illustrious President;
it was here that he addressed to his country
that memorable Farewell with which he closed
his public and immortal career.
To ask, then, the women of Pennsylvania to
unite with their sisters throughout the Union
in this tribute to the memory ot WASHINGTON
—to anpeal to all the people of Pennsylvania
fo give io this great object the,r generous en
couiageinent and assistance—is but to solicit
from them a patriotic service, to which they
are called by associations connected with his
memory that cannot be surpassed, nor hardly
equalled, in any portion of that wide country
which glories in his name.
