Another Arbitrary Arrest.
The last issue of the Fulton Democrat, comer;
to us with the following announocmcnt under
its editorial head:
"Any inaccuracies in proof this week will be
• accounted for by the fact that it was read by
the c'ditor while under the guard of three Uni
ted States soldiers, he having been arrested for
the ciime of_ acting JUS counsel in the hdbeaa cor
pus case reported below. lie informs his read
ers that he is still in favor of the largest liberty
in everj' lawful sense of the word, and ready as
ever to do battle for it with tongue or pen.
Unawcd by the glitter of bayonets he bids his
readers learn their rights an 1 stand up for them."
"The "habeas corpus case'' referred to by the
editor of the Democrat, was that of a drafted
man by the name of Forney, who had been ex*
I from service, by the Draft Commission
r the following circumstances: Forney
fled the Assessor making the enrollment
township in which he resides, that lie
r 45 years of ago, and it was so writ*

Is "over age" written at the end of the

served the process issued by the
for the deli very of the person of Forney,
K the officer of the Provost Guard, who at
He snrrendercd Forney and gave up all claim
him in his custody, liut subsequcnt-
V, Lieut. Ford, (the officer just spoken of,) con
cluded that he would re-arrest Forney and take
mini with him in defiance of the law and of the
'Court. Accordingly, on Wednesday morning
last, the Lieutenant, with two of his men and
SL boy to point tbo wny, proceeded to Forney's
house for the purpose of again effecting his ar
rest. The officer searched the house, and final
ly came to a pair of steps leading to the kitch
en loft, which ho attempted to ascend, but whilst
in the act of doing so, lie was shot in t'ac shoul
der, the ball entering through the shoulder strap
and passing downward. Thus ended this some
what tragical farce, so far as it concerned the
attempted arrest of Forney as a drafted soldier.
Put the after-piece was yet to be enacted, and
this was a part which only those lowest of low
comedians, the hirelings of the War office,could
properly perform, llcnry G. Smith, Esq., ed
itor of the Fulton Democrat, had acted as coun
sel for Forney, in the habeas corpus case, and,
because his client, in defence of his personal
liberty, guaranteed him by the law, shot the
man who was attempting, contrary to law, to
deprive him of that liberty, Mr. Smith is ar
rested and hurried off to prison, beyond the
limits of his county, without any charge specif
ically preferred against him by any one, with
out any legal process being served upon him,
and without a shadow of justification for his
arrest, except such as was founded upon rumor
and suspicion.
Wc do not pretend to know what was the
nature of the advice given to Forney by Mr.
Smith, ns his counsel. It may have been prop
er, or, it may have been otherwise. Hut this
wc do know, that if Mr. Smith gave such ad
vice as would render him amenable to legal pun
ishment, the civil courts are yet open in Penn
sylvania for the trial of cases like his, and the
Twenty-Second Section of the Ninth Article of
our State Constitution, which says, "No stand
ing array shall, in times of peace, lie kept up,
without the consent of the Legislature: awl the
militaryshall, IN ALL CASES, and AT ALL
TIMES, be a strict subordination to the civil pow- 1
er," is Hot yet repealed, though suffered to bo
trampled under foot, by those who are sworn
to maintain it.
WMon-ni, of Malnfe, Doolittle, qf Wiscon
sin, Chandler, of Michigan, and Wade, of Ohio,
all Abolitionists, have been ro-electcd to the U.
is tales Senate. Wade would not have been
elected, had not the present legislature of Ohio
been ehoeen in October, 1801, instead of Oc
tober, 1832.
Duties of Sheriffs and District Attorneys, j
As Gov. Curtin has hitherto failed to per
form bin sworn duty in his wilful neglect to en
force that requirement of the[StateJConstiti*jtion
which declares that "the military shall, in all
cases, and at all times, be in strict subordina
tion to the civil power," we Hope tl-.at some of
the inferior ministerial officers of the law, espe
cially Sheriffs and District Attorneys, will see
that the people have their rig'uts under the Con
stitution. It is the duty o'f these officials to do
all m.their power to preserve the "peace and
dignity of the Commonwealth." They are
sworn to support t'ue Constitution of Pennsyl
vania, and, therefore, sworn to see that the mil
itary power shall not override the civ il authori
ty. The '"dignity" as well as the. "peace" of
the Commonwealth, requires that this should be
done. Gov. Seymour, of New York, thus ad
dresses himself, in his message, to these officers:
"Sheriffs and District Attorneys are admonish
ed that it is their duty to take care that no per
sons within their respective counties are impris
oned or carried by force beyond their limits with
out due process, or legal authority." This ad
monition is just as applicable to the Sheriffs and
District Attorneys of Pennsylvania, as it is to
those of New York. It is their duly to see that
the Constitution and laws of the State are not
violated, and they must discharge that duty, if
in their power, or they will be looked upon as
having failed to perform their official functions
and as having disregarded and violated their oath
of office.
"Count.cr-Sevolutionists!"
That sage and far-sighted individual, the ed
itor of the Inquirer, has discovered that there
is a new party in this county, which, for polite
ness' sake, wo presume, lie denominates "Coun
ter-Revolutionists." We are somewhat at a
loss to know what this profound etymologist
means by "Counter Revolutionists." The pre
fix, counter, signifies, against; henee to be "coun
fee-revolutionists, we must be against revolution,
or, in other words, revolutionise against revolution.
Therefore, there must be revolution before there
can be counter-revolution. Consequently, the
Inquirer man admits that the present administra
tion is revolutionary and in rebellion against the
Constitution which it professes to administer.
If ho does not mean this, what docs he moan?
Ilc certainly can't have reference to that "coun
ter-revolution" which has brought gold up to 50
per cent, premium and makes muslin sell at 37A
cents per yard. That would be still more sui
cidal.
SUICIDE.—A yonng man named John Stone,
residing with his parents, ir> Colerain township,
committed suicide on Tuesday evening last, by
hanging himself. It is not known what .caused
the aberration of mind which led him to do the
LOST. —A brown, thread-covered canc was
dropped from a carriage on Tuesday last, either
on the street in Bedford, or between Bedford
and Bloody Run. The finder will receive a
suitable reward by leaving it at the store of
Mr. J. B. Farquhar.
CST"Wc would most earnestly request the Re
publicans and all opposed to the Terrorists to
form UNION CM.IIS throughout the county. Or
ganize and cnrjll every man who can command
a vote so that we may be able to counteract the
efforts of the enemies of our liberties. Coun
ter-Revolutionists are at every door, and it be
comes necessary foact. Organize! Organize!"
The above is from last week's Inquirer. Our
Democratic friends will learn from this para
graph that the Abolitionists intend making a
desperate effort to galvanize into life the dead
body of their defunct organization. Let them
be watched!
C-rrThc Inquirer man consumes a whole col
umn in an attempt to prove that Democrats are
"terrorists." IVbat need for so much labor to
prove what every one knows to he true and
what every Democrat is proud of, viz: that De
mocracy is a terror to Abolitionism ?

Oapt'.ire of Arkansas Post.
The Federal expedition under (Jen. McClor
nand, which, under the command of Gen. Sher
man, attempted but failed to capture Vicksburg,
succeeded in surprising and capturing Arkansas
Post, a fortified village on Arkansas river. Tho
following from the Chicago- Post, is about as re
liable an account of the capture as can be ob
tained :
From a gentleman who left Arkansas Post
on Monday evening following the capture of
that place by General McClernand, wo learn
that tho number of prisoners taken cannot ex
ceed 1,000, as that was currently said to be
the total strength of the. Rebel garrison at that
place. The losses in killed and wounded were
about equal, ami did not exceed three hundred
on either side. Arkansas Post is on the east
side (left hand) of the river, and boasted of one
store, a blacksmith shop and a grocery. There
is a road running from the place to St. Charles,
on White river. The distance across is thirty
utiles.
It is reported that a Rebel force was at St.
Charles, where the fortifications arc very for
midable. General Gorman had gone up White
river with a view of taking that place. The
capture of Arkansas Post will prevent the Reb
els from placing a battery at Cypress bend, be
low Napoleon, on the Mississippi, where it
was feared tliey would seriously obstruct the
passage of transports on tli# way to Vicksburg.
The Rebel General Holmes sent away most of
his forces from Little Rook two weeks ago bj,
some point down the river. It may be that he
lias concluded to make a stand at St. Charles.
If so, an early engagement will take place there
abouts.

A Syllogism.
The destruction of the Constitution is the
dissolution of the Union. Put the destruction
of the Institution of Slavery by the Federal
Government, is the destruction of the Consti
tution. Therefore, the destruction of the Insti
tution of Slavery, by the Federal Government,
is the dissolution of the Union. (And yet the
advocates for the destruction of Slavery profess
to lie the friends of the Union. Verily, "blind
ness in part, hath happened unto" some of the
American "Israel.'')

Attempt to Bribe a Member of the Legis
lature !
ASTOUNDING DEVELOPME NTS I
GEN. CAMERON'S OPERATIONS TO EFFECT
HIS ELECTION TO THE U. S. SENATE!
Statement of T. Jefferson Boyer, Member
of Assembly from Clearfield County.
To the Editors of the Patriot and Union:
As many rumors are afloat in regard fo cer
tain transactions which took place between
General Cameron nnd myself on several occa
sions previous to the late election of the Uni
ted States Senator, 1 think my duty to make a
plain unvarnished statement of tho facts, so
that there may ho hereafter no misunderstan
ding orniisrepresentation. Believing that there
would he attempts to bribe members in order
to defeat the election of a Democrat, I concei
ved tho project of putting myself in the way
of the operators, and trying how far they were
disposed to go in the matter. Once conceived,
1 determined to act upon it, and communicated
my intention to several friends. The first op
portunity that offered I embraced—and here is
the result:
I had been to Philadelphia, and on my re
turn perhaps a week or more before the elec
tion,! met Mr. Win. Probst, of Lewistnrg,
with whom 1 was acquainted, at the Pennsyl
vania House, in Ilarrisburg, for the first time
this winter, and noticed some unusual nervous
ness on his part, and from his conduct was soon
led to suspect that his business at Ilarrisburg
was not of a very public character. In the af
ternoon lie came to mo and asked toseemc p:i
valcly, and we proceeded at once to my room,
where he very soon commenced disparaging the
several prominent Democratic candidates for
United States Senator, and concluded by expres
sing his decided preference for Gen. Simon "n
--oron. This, of course left me no room to doubt
the object of his visit to the State Capital and
to me, and I at once asked him whether that
was the object of bis visit: He said it was. In
reply t<> my question, whether General Cam r
on authorized him to come to mo in this way,
lie said lie was authorized by Cameron to see
any Democrat of the House or Senate, and cu
terinto the preliminary arrangements to secure
a vote for Cameron. I then asked him in what
manner they expected to secure the election of
Cameron. He answered, "by getting three
Democrats to absent themselves on tho day of
the election." 1 then asked him what they
wouldjpay. Ho said he was authorized by Cam
eron to oiler $5,000. I told liim the figures
were too low, and desired him to tell me who
the other members were. This he refused to
do at the time, but would try and get permis
sion of his principal to do so. He then left,
and returned in a short time, and said that
General Cameron wanted to see nie, personally,
nt his residence out of tho city that evening. I
told him I could not make tho engagement, but
would answer him in one hour, and if I eould
get clear of another engagement 1 had made, 1
would go with him. In the moantime I con
sulted with Dr. Early, of the House of Repre
sentatives, my colleague, to whom I related tho
foregoing facts. I then saw Probst again nnd
told him I would go. He told mo ha would
havo a carriage ready in front of Kerr's Hotel
a; seven o'clock-; that he was autltorized by
Ctmcron to get a carriage at any time. When
tl time arrived, Dr. Enrley and myself walk
ed down to Herr's, and saw the carriage and
lirobst there. I then made some exenss to
lirobst, and told him it would be best not to go.
(I deemed it prudent at this state of proceedings
not to manifest too much eagerness, lest 1 might
defeat the object in view.) The next day ho
(lirobst) called and said Cameron wanted to
seo trie at the State Capital Hank. 1 called ami
was ushered into a back room of the bank, and
found Cameron there alone. He addressed mo
as follows:—"Buyer, do you think you could,
liave courage enough to \ote for me?" I an
swered that it was a very business-like ques
tion, and that it would depend very much on
circumstances.—He then said, "suppose the
circumstances are all right!" I asked him how
he meant "all right." He answered "the fi
nancial consideration; in short, tliodollars and
cents." I answered him, "certainly." He
then asked ine what I would take. 1 told him
I had not been in this business long, and did
not know exactly how to answer, but wished
him to name the sura. lie asked what I thought
of SIO,OOO, "right down, after the work was
done." 1 then asked him whether he wante 1
a vote or an absentee. lie answered, "a vote,"
a3 it would be very troublesome to get the
men away, and besides, he only regarded the
money paid as the first installment, and that ho
felt in duty bound to take care of the person
that made liiin Senator afterwards, and, if he
had so many to take care of, it would embar
rass him, but if lie had but one, ho could do it
well and profitably as long as we lived ; and
said besides, there would lie no more danger in
voting directly for liiiu than in being absent, for
tliey would make every provision for the pro
tection of the man that would vote for him.
This ended the interview, and we agreed to
meet again to fix the compensation. The next
day ho sent lirobst for mc. I declined going
to see him, but agreed to see him at my room,
No. 15, Pennsylvania House. Mr. lirobst,
who was still, up to this time, figuring for Si
mon, wont after him, and in less than twenty
minutes returned with him. Cameron then
said, "Well lets conic to an understanding." I
said, "What for i" Ho answered, "In reference
to the Senatorial question." 1 then said, "I
must have $15,000." lie said, "I will give it,"
and wanted to know who I would prefer to ar
range future interviews and do the financiering
of the business. I told him my limited knowl
edge of his friends did not enable me to name
that person-. lie then' proposed Jim Burns. I
said he would do. He then left, stating that
lie was going to Philadelphia to arrange anoth
er matter which lie had in view, and would re
turn on Saturday evening. This was on Wed
nesday.
On Thursday I met John J. Patterson. He
desired to see me, and asked ine to call at his
room at Herr's Hotel. When I met him lask
liim where Burns was? Ho told me ho was sick.
Ho then said, "Boyer, the money will he all
right." 1 asked liim, "What money?" lie
then said, "Oh, I know all about it; 1 saw
Cameron," (I must not forget to state here that,
prior to my meeting Patterson, lirobst told me
Patterson wanted to sec me on that business,)
and, by Cameron's arrangement, he would go
down in the cars on the Lebanon Valley road
wgetner*an^soi^ J fli r iJ f biS^ t ' would go
We met according to arrangement, and, in
the baggage apartment of the Now York car,
concluded the bargain for $20,000 for a votu
for General Simon Cameron for the office
of United States Senator, with the agree
ment that no other member should be bought,
and that this should end the matter—provided
Cameron would agree to the terms, and depos
it the money in the hands of Patterson, to he
paid to me immediately after tho election was
over, and that tho two members (with whom
Patterson and Cameron were also in treaty) who
were in the cars on their way to Philadelphia,
should return on Saturday.
We considered the fact that, if they were
sent off, the House would not go into an elec
tion, anil our agreement could not be consum
mated. This statement seemed to determine
his mind in favor of tho arrangement. Patter
son went immediately to Cameron, who was in
the car, and returned in a few minutes, stating
that, although Cameron regarded the price big,
lie would pay it in order to savo further troub
le, and would, therefore, not say anything to
the members then on their way to Philadelphia,
and that they might return, and thus prevent
any disarrangement of tho plan that might a
rise from their absence.
Saturday evening wus then agreed upon as
the time tor the next intci view. I stopped at
Heading; so did Patterson, who returned that
same evening to Ilarrisburg. Cameron went
to Philadelphia. I came up on Saturday and
found Cameron on the train, as well as at least
one of the men who went to Philadelphia the
day before, and I think both. At the depot at
Ilarrisburg 1 met Patterson, who said the in
terview would he at Don Cameron's. Accord
ingly Patterson and myself went directly to the
house, and found the General there ahead of us.
lie invited us up stab's, and, by a dismal
light, wo agreed upon the price, viz: Cameron
assented to the bargain between Patterson and
mvseif, by agreeing to pay the §20,000 —$5000
of which was to bo paid in hand—and would
deposit it in Patterson's hands in my presence,
at some future interview. A little incident
which occurred hero it would be a pity to lose
to the world.
After the bargain was concluded, Simon
straightened tip his chair, rubbing his legs with
his hands, saying, "Well, this ends it"—(ad
dressing himself to me) —"I wiil be the most
powerful man in tiiat senate, the entire state of
affairs of this Government will be changed, j
nothing is more certain than that the South
will gain Iter independence, (this sounded like
treason,) and then we will hold the control of
the Government, and I will be able to serve my
friends;" and so we parted again, to dream of
Southern Confederacies and Winnebagoos for
Senator. Patterson and I then agreed to meet
on Monday.
We met at five o'clock, in Patterson's room
at Ilcrr's, on Monday afternoon. Hero Patter
son told mo lie had .SSOOO hand money locked
lip in tho safe down stairs, but wanted me to
see Simon again before paying it over to me. I
insisted on the hand money. This I deemed ne
cessary to keep up tho delusion. We then
parted to meet at the same place early the next
morning. Immediately riftor breakfast, on Tues
day, (the day of the election.) I mot Patterson,
according to agreement, at his house, Simon
being present, lying on the bed, complaining of
a disease of tho bowdls.
It was then desired that I should see somo
Abolition member of tho Senate or House, who
would bo wnt to me, and inform him of my
willingness to vote for Cameron in ense lie was
nominated. To this I made some pretended
olyection, and demanded to know the necessity
for it. Simon said it was this, thuf unless I
did this tliey might think lie just wanted tlicir
t l J nomination for effect, which was not
true. lie declared lie would not have the nom
ination and a defeat for the whole Legislature.
So, of course, I consented, and the voting price
was voluntarily raised ssoo#. Patterson said
the gentleman who would wait on me there was
Dr. Fuller, of the Senate,- who would be pres
ent as soon as I was ready to receive him. lsaid
that was all right, but must now be convinced
that the money was all right too. Patterson
then hurriedly showed ino a large bundle of
notes, which he represented as being the amount
of the final payment. He assured me the day
before 1 should have the hand money, and a
gain on Tuesday morning said I could have it.
I told him I deemed it better, on reflection,
not to have it about ine, inasmuch as there
might bo a row after the election, and said I
would trust it to them (Patterson and Cameron,)
knowing them to be honest. Patterson again
assured me the hand money was down in the
safe, and, together with the residue, should be
forthcoming as soon as theelectiou was over.—
[I may here state it did not come.] Cameron.
then said his carriage would be at the State Cap
ital Bank after the election, and I should comi >
down and go over to his house and remain then)
awhile. This, of course, I agreed to do, (but
'did not.)
Now, then, all things being arranged, Dr.
Fuller was ushered in by Patterson. The in
troduction completed, I said: "Doctor, I pre
sume I understand the object of this interview.''
lie then said: "1 am chairman of a coininitte.;
appointed by a Republican caucus to wait 011
you to Roe whether you would vote for Cante •
ron." I said "Yes; I assure you that if you
nominate General Cameron (pointing to the oh 1
Winnebago lying on the bed.) it will be al l
right." Uesaid: "Yongive inotiiat assurance? '
I said "Yes." Dr. F. then said: "You nee 1
have no fears of personal danger, or any thin g
of that sort. We have made every provision
to meet all danger." Thus the last scene i n
this strange l'arce ended. Simon assured le
that he would be ever grateful, and I hope lie
will.
It is proper here to say that during this en
tire adventure with Simon and his agents, my
colleague, Dr. Early, W. A. Wallace, the
Senator from Clearlield, and ltobcrt Vauglin,
the proprietor of the Pennsylvania House, in
this city, were in the secret, and Dr. Earh -y,
especially, knew constantly what was goring.
Oil.
In one of my interviews with Patterson, on
the cars going to Reading, lie said in case t! te: '3
should any investigation grow out of the tri :n s-
would lie the only witness that k uc w
anything about it, and he would swear fa. laedy
and put it through.
In regard to the dates given in the a bnvc
statement, as I made no memoranda at the i ti me
I cannot be certain that they are correct, bu.t I
believe they are.

SWAKMING OF THE MEDICAL HIVK&
CONSOLATION FOR TUB SICK.
Concerning the enormous number of routig
M. D.'s that our medical colleges turn out ev
ery year, we eertuiuly ought (if thoro be any
virtue in. "regular physicking'') to be a maoh
healthier people than wo are. But tbo bills of
mortality do not shorten as the list of doctors
lengthens. Quite the reverse! Shall we say,
then, with Macbeth, "Throw physic to the dogs,
I'll none of it ?" No that will not do, Nature
when attacked by disease, needs an ally to fus
t: tin her. An ally , retneinl>er; not n depleting
ajo lit, that helps the discuse and exhausts hot
energies. We verily believe that most of the
drugs administered in accuto disease have this'
effect. Such, however, is not the operation of
one medicine now generally used in this coun
try for complaints of the stomach, liver, and.
'Dowels. VVe mean Ilolloway's Pills. Of
course our readers are aware that both the oint
ment and I'ills which bear the name of that
distinguished physician and philanthvophist are
in the highest possible repute nil over the world;
but we have only had an opportunity to witneta
the effects of the Pills. I gives us pleasure to
testify their efficacy. In dyspepsia and liver com
plaints they unquestionably work the most
marvelous cures. Nay, we will even go so far
us to say that, with this remedy within their
r each, no man or woman need ever be long
troubled with dyspepsia. The pills remove the
distress at the stomach, and restore the strength
and appetite with a rapidity that is really as
tonishing. The curative action seems to be tha
same in all cases, without reference to age, con
stitution, or sex. Such, at least, istheconclu
to which our experience and observation point.
