President has acted manfully and pioperiy in
insisting on his rights. He do-s ir.t shrink
from investigation ; he does not o?k that hi? pub

of those who have the right to examine it ; ii
only denies that his accu:,':r } th& mm who in

his actions. He is ready for a fair trial, in the
manner prescribed by the Constitution. Let
bis enemies bring on their ; mneachmnt and
try him at the bar of the Senate, as the C-nsti

ground." The fact is that Greely, who koow3
that the Fremont men spent SIOO,OOO to carrv
Pennsylvania, in 1856, is getting frightened at
Covode's greenness and audacity. He is afraid
le6t the Democrats turn the tables on the far
smelling John, and show up the corrupt schemes
of the Biack Republicans. We give Greely's
article entire in this connexion, and would re
spectfully suggest that the Bedford Abolition
organ copy it as a commentary on the col
umns of stuff it publishes concerning Congres
sional investigations. The "Republicans"
hereabouts swear by Greely ; will they be con
sistent enough to endorse him also when he
speaks as follows ?
[From the N. T. Tribune.]
"RIGHT AGAINST PREROGATIVE. —The Home
Committee ol Investigation, whereof Mr. CJ
vode. of Pennsylvania, is Chairman, insist®, we
learn, that Mr. Augustus Sch-11, 0 f city,
shall produce and deliver a list : n his posst v; n
of contributors in this city to the fund raised
hereto carry Pennsylvania for Buchanan at the
October election in 1556. Tho Committee, i:
is understood, propose to invoke the power of
the House to coerce Mr. Scheli to r-rodure the
paper demanded. If they do this, we trust t it-
House avill pause and consider well before ta
king the action required. Nlr. Schell, though
now Collector of tnis Port, w;.s a private citi
zen in 1856 ; those who contributed th- monev
he raised for the Pennsylvania canvass were
likewise mainly private citizens. It is not e
ven in evidence tliai the money was u. Ed im
properly, though we presume a good part ot it
was : there is of course no shadow of proof tint
it was contributed by public officers, or lhat it
came, however circuiionsly, out of th- Fed-r i
Treasury. Bv what right tier, under what
color of reason, do the Cunnuttee undertake to
constrain Mr. Sch-ll to give up this pi ivate pa
per and blazoQ to the world the name.® pri
vate citizens under circumstances calcu Ued tc
exposp them to odium? It they have been
guilty of conspiracy oricorruption, why riot in
dict and try them ? If the o ject is to L.-i our
evidence on which to base a prosecution, w
object that the made is illegal, uncons'itutioßit,
and the whole procedure fraught v. :ib c_: -f
to the rights of every citizen.
VVg speak thus freely, h.-cause ?'•. 'ct i
of the gravest importance, wiiii.- ■r '. :-i ;
the parties in conflict enable® so v..'
out exposure to misapprehension. y, I.
and his contributors are ou: p.;- ricaf .. -r.- ■>-
rtes ; the Committee v:m ar- • : g .1. t
the wall, are our political friends. Unt i
is right, and this procedure se :s,s to t!s t • .
an.>ther thing. It is an attempt to make parts
capital by an abuse of power—a dangerous
stretch of a doubtful prerogati.
The fact may as well be statf that li.
%-ltole business of developing t 1:1 s< s
tie legislative investigations hi ? .. ready :■><•
about run into the ground. Inte .:p; *, fair
minded men are growing sick of it. In ®o
as public functionaries and other recipients cf
public money are required to give an account
ot their dealings with the Tteasurv, we c ;o hi
the claim fo the fullest extent. Even this may
be abused : but it is a salutary, conservative
power,ana we rejoice in s-eing it fearlessly,
searching! v exercised. But dragging private
citizens or those who were private citizens when
acts as to which inquest is made were com-
milled, before Investigating Committees, to be
catechised in secret, under circumstances which
secure them no protection against insult, nor a
jainst the most inquisitorial and impertinent
peering and prying into their private concerns,
will not answer. Jt must be either strictly
limited or utterly stopped."

THE RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.
Our mongrel opponents are very sore over
the result in little Rhode Island. They die
harder than snake-tail.-. "Rhode Island," say
they, "elected a Governor opposed to the Re
publicans, but then be is not a Democrat."
Well, Ut us see! There are but two parties
a! present in existence in the Forth—the Dem
ocratic and the so-called "Renublican." The
"Constitutional Union" party about being star

Consequently, as Go?. Spngtm ran against the

A fine Scent for the Great Smeller
Those creatures of angelic purify, the Bla<k

ferret out bribery and corruption, and esnecin
lv th3t prince of smellers, who scents from afr
theu;eol money in elections, HON.
COVODE, will now have a new t el I for their
patriotic olfactories. The "latest develop
ments" are to the effect, that PADELfr ORP
the defeated "Republican" candidate for Gov
ernor of Rhode Island, resorted to the grossest
and m ist shameful system ot bribery and tram,
to effect ilis election. Now, this is not mere
ly an insinuation,or an iunendo, like the indict
ments ol Mr. Covode, hut it is a bold, dirt c
and specific charge, and what is more, it u
proved on oath. Will Mr. Covode call Mr.
Padelt'ord before his Committee and have Innn
examined along with his other witnesses, ant
will the Bedford organ of the smellers, pubiisl
the following affidavit of the town clerk c.
Cranston, proving bribery and corruption upor

THE MASK THROWN OFF.
On the 2l 11 of March !r. -1, Black Republicati
on! emerged from its Fr •? Territory chrysalis,
and bold.y assum J the shape o! aggressive A';
litionistn. Mr. Blake, a Black Republican
member M Congress, cm that day offered, in his
seat, the following Abolition preamble and res
olutions :
Whereas, The chattelingol mankind and the
holding cf persons as property, is contrary to
natural justice and the fundamental principles
of our political system, 'and is notoriously a re
preach to our couutry throughout the civi jp-d
wo.id an i a serious hindrance.to the progress
of republican liberty throughout the nations of
the earth : Therefore,
Resolved, That the Committee on the Judi
ciary be aud the same is hereby instructed
to inquire into the expediency ot reporting 2
bill giving freedom to every human being., and
interdicting slavery wherever Congress has
constitutional power to legislate on the subject.
After considerable discussion, the question
was put upon the passage of the resolution, tte
preamble being reserved for a separate vote,
when Sl.'v Pi Black Republican Congressmen,
being a large majority of that party in Con
gress, vo'ed in favor of this direct attempt
to abolish slavery ! Of these sixty, four ire
from Pennsylvania, v ; z: Messrs. BLAIR

Perhaps it isn't our "put in," but we can in
form the State Journal that "Mr. Covode's
Commit!"#" has not discovered the fact men-
tioued by the Clarion Democrat, nor is it at all
likely that it will, being intended tor a different
purpose. "Mr. C'ovode's Committee" was rais
ed to damage the Democratic party, (it possible)
by false accusations and lying testimony ; to
drag the affairs of private citizens before Con
gress, and with disreputable hints and inuen
does, gossip-like, to blacken the character of in

Significant Result.
As an evidence ol the fading fortunes of fh°
\boiitioa party, not the least significant is the
result of the election Tat (he home of John
Brown, the Traitor. At North Elba, where
tin- I .-ties of ?: is <4J murderer, insurrectionist
and horse-thief are entombed, the Democrats*
at the town-meeting last week, succeeded by :
n j ..t y ol twenty two. On the Abolition
ticuet wer-'several of John Brown's relatives,
ttwj were beaten. North Elba has heretofore
been one of the hot-beds and strong-holds of
the Abolit.on fanatics; but, since toe treason
able foray of their Chief, and his immolation
up m the gallows in Virginia, their strength in
that region has been growing-'small by degrees
ana beautifully less.''— Slate Sentinel.
Opposition Movements.
A "Constitutional Union Club" lias been or
ganized in Tyrone. A "People's Party Club"
has also been organized in the same place, the
members of which, as we learn by the Star,
resolved not to pledge themselves to the nomi
ne- ol the Chicago Convention wisely prefer
ring to wait until they see "what's what and
who's who." T?ie S lar also informs lis that
an attempt was made on tlie part of the "Peo
ple's Club" to exclude from membership all
who were favorable to the "Constitutional
Union Party," but the attempt failed. It
would seem from this that the star of Sain is in
the* ascendant in Tyrone, and is destined to
shine in the coming contest "like a rotten
mackerel by moonlight !"- Hollidaysbur g- Stan
dard.
Barnum has sent an agent to Eng'and to

Wisconsin Redeemed.
The Wisconsin Democracy, following in the
wake of our; brethren of Little Rhode Island,
have resolved to shake off the incubus ol Black
Republicanism. At the recent State election
(or Chief Justice ol the Supreme Court, a graudj
glorious Democratic victory was achieved.—
The 'Milwaukee JVews says that judging horn
Hie returns already received from this Slate, in
our opinion, Dixon is elected Chief Justice ol
the Supreme Court of Wisconsin by at least
">OOO majority ! Large Democratic gains are
shown all over the State, while it is but in very
lew instances that the Republican vote has
been increased. The Republican majority for
Governor last fall/was 3,900. Pf'.-cnt indica

3,000.

' ■at there is a difference between flattery and
simple justice. It has happened that in several
instancessve have witnessed the effect ot Hol
lo way's Ointment upon external diseases. 1 bat
it will cure erysipelas, tail rheum, and virulent
deep-s-ated ulcers, we can testify from fact

for scrofula and cancer. The late war in Eu
rope afforded zrami opportunity to ascertain
its value us a dressing for desh wounds, frac

published official reporters of the army
surgeons, that -is application i.r such cases \v a .<

and inflammation of the paits rapidly subsided,
and healthful reaction ensued. Injuries for

Probably no class of our countrymen better
understand t ie value of irdloway's Ointment
than the denizens of the tar west. It is in fact
their "salve for every sore," whether occasioned
by accident or the result of hardship and expo
sure. (ue Southern planters regard it as an in
dispensable item in their plantation dispensaries,
and use it a.most universally as a remedy for
the eruptions and glandular diseases so common
among their negroes. In New England, where
inventions and discoveries are gene;ally at the
outset i - Red upon with distrust, the Ointment
has attained an extraordinary degree ol popu
larity, and the demand for it in" the states' ot
New / ork, arid Pennsylvania has been quad
rupled wifiiin three years. In fact, it has no
rival iri pu die esteem among the remedies of
the age, if we except the celebrated pills for
internal diseases introduced by its world re
nowned inventor.
In the olden time, the law awarded to every
Roman who saved the life of a fellow citizen, a
civic crown. If the moderns had perpetuated
the custom, Hoiloway's Regalia would by this
time have been the eighth wonder of the world.

THE Lockhaven Watchman records a very
remarkable phenomenon. A few months ago,
Mr. John Johnson of that place had the mid
dle finger of his right hand amputated close to
the lower joint joining the hand. The wound
soon t eaied over, ami almost irnmediately a
new finger commeii ed growing from the slump
of the old : and six months from the time the
finger was amputated, Mr. Johnson had a
new and full grown one in its place, with the
exception of the nau, w hicn was just corrunen
cing to shoot cut.
