F A GRAND DISCOVERY •
"SIGNIFICANT.--The great money panic
which last full prostrated tho business of ihe
| country, /utd its origin in the failure of the
j Ohio Trust Company, an institution located iu
' a Black Republican State."— Gazette.
| We consider this decidedly rich. Business
; of nearly all kinds Was prostrated last fall by a
financial storm, and remains prostrated yet;
and that, too, without any hope of speedy re
covery. Our great manufactories are closed
and idle, or working on half time, and reduced
wages; commerce is paralysed, so that our
merchant marine is rotting at the wharves for
waut of something to do; the price of agricul
tural products has fallen below living rates,
there is no demand for labor at even half the
usual wages, and the whole land is covered
with a universal complaint of a scarcity of
money and of "hard times." Many have in
quired and speculated into the causes of these
evils. Some attributed them to the suspension
of the banks, but the banks have all resumed,
and things remain unchanged for the better.—
Others, for want of some better reason, have
attributed these evils to "overtrading," "ex
pensive living," &e. Rut more recently the
convictions of the country have settled down
in the opinion that the great trouble has boon
occasioned by the unjust tariff policy of the
national government. We have no adequate
protection for American labor, American agri
culture, commerce or manufactures. Sticll fe
the voice of the press, or the country, and such
was ihe voice of some five thousand mechanics,
artizans and laborers, who met in council, ir
respective of party, at Philadelphia, week be
fore last, and unanimously resolved that the
government whiehj'efused to protect its citi
zens, was unworthy of support by its citiz-ms.
Rut it seems tbat the people, the press, and
the working men of Philadelphia, and all who
thiuk with them, have been mistaken. It re
mained for the philosophical, the wise, and the ;
logical editor of the Redford Gaz.tte to discov- j
er that the whole trouble " had its origin in !
i
the Jailure oj the Ohio Trust Company—'
And what makes the matter still worse, is the j
fact that this Trust Company is "an institution ;
located in a Rlack Republican State." Isn't j
it dreadful 1 We hope the five thousaud Phil- ;
adelphiaus, aud all others concerned, will just
make a noto of this, and amend their opinions
and practices accordingly. Onc-lulf of them
may have never beard of this tremendous "in
stitution," called the "Ohio Trust Company,"
and we much fear that ihose who have heard of
it, may be altogether unable to rercoive or
comprehend any connecfion between it and the
great financial embarrassments aud distress of
the people,—but no matter. The editor of the
Gazette has both made aud proclaimed the dis
co very, and that should be the end of contro
versy and doubt. Let us have the matter set
tled. That be is right, is "as clear as mud !"
The fact that this "institution" was "loca
ted in a Black Republican Slate," ought of
itself almost he sufficient to settle the question.
The further fact that this company was char
tered in Ohio by the authority and in the palmy
days of Locofocoism in that State, ouht not,
we think, make any differcnoe in the conclusion
arrived at. When we arc asked, hereafter, the
"origin" or cause of the present hard times, we
caD just blame it all on the "Ohio Trust Com
pany /"
>IORE FABRICATIONS.
"At the prescut session of Congress, bills
have been passed directly admittiug two ucw
free States—Minnesota and Oregon—and pro
viding for the addition of the third (Kansas) to
the northern side of the Ledger. Here then
are three new free States, and without the off
set of a single new slave State."
We copy the above from the Gazrite of last
week, where it purports to have been taken
from that piuk of democracy, the Acq# York
Herald. Look at the miserable subterfuges
and fabrications to which shatn democracy is
driveu. Before the election it was "Buchanan
and Free Krnsas." and now, since the Presi
dent and Congress have exhausted all their ef
forts, and wasted Dearly a whole session to
force slavery on Kansas, their followers insult
the people they have betrayed by flouting in
their faces such wholesale lies as the above.—
"Three new Jrce States " admitted into the
Union nt the last scss'n n of Congress, were
thoy ? Let us see. Of the whole three nam
ed, Minnesota alone was admitted as a free
State. The bill to admit Oregou as a free
State passed one House of Congress, but not
the other. She had prepared a free State con
stitution, aud fitted herself in every way for
admission, as the one biauch admitted by pas
sing the hill, and there was and could be no
substantial reason urged agaiust hor admission.
Why then was she not admitted ? For two
reasons; first, became she wanted to ho a free
State, and, secondly, to use the language of the
Gazette, "there was a Democratic majority in
both Houses of Congress " Another reason
may be that they had not time. This demo
cratic Congress, which could spend four months
out of the five in 3Hinnpting to fasten slavery
on Kansas iu defiance of her popular vote, had
not time even to consider the claims ofqi free
State against which there was and could be ufr
objection, except that sbo was a free State.—
Oregou, therefore, is not a State yet, and it re
mains for some other than a democratic Con
gross to admit her. And then Kansas. She
is another of tho three free States, is she ?
Why, it is notorious that she is not admitted at
all, aud will not be, and eannot be, unless up
on compliance with cortain terms. The main
conditions are that if she will vote to accept
some three millions of acres of public lands
I she may then come into the Union as a State
under the Lecowtpton pro-slavery Constitution.
That is if she will agree to cotue in as a slave
state she tuny come, ami slip may have flic three
milliohs of acres of land for railroads, schools
&e, for so doing, hut if she refuses to come in
under the Lecompton Constitution with her
thirty thousand inhabitants, then she can not
come in or have any land, lut must remain out
of the Union by the express provisions of the
bill until she has at least ninety three thousand
inhabitants. It seems to bo good sound demo
cratic doctrine now that thirty thousand popu
lation is sufficient for a slave state , whilst it
requires ninety three thousand for a free slate.'
Under the late law ot Congress therefore Kan
sas must come into the Union as a slave state,
or stay out until other provision is made fcr
her. Such is the lagislatiou of that Congress
which was " Democratic in both branches."—
But the "three new free states" are nowhere,
save iu the fabrications of those who for parti
zan purposes, and in utter disregard of the
truth endeavor to prop up the filling foituncs 1
of President Buchanan and his follow conspi
rators against the rights of freedom.
AN ECONOMICAL CONGRESS.
"The session of Congress which has just ter- f
initiated is remarkable as having inaugratcd a
new era in the history of our Pederal° legisla
tion. The representatives of the people seem
for olico to have partially lost sight of their
own interests, and to have looked with a watch
ful eye to those of their constituents. The |
reason of this is plain enough : there, was a i
Democratic majority in both Houses of Cong- j
"*j
We clip the above characteristic paragraph j
from the Gazette of last week. We have seen
tall specimens of brazen impudence aud false- ,
hood in our day, but we consider the above
article a little ahead of anything in modern j
times. Economy, forsooth ! Let us see. This
was the first session of Congress held under
the new law which pays to each mouther about
two thousand dollars per annum, mora than
under the former law. They adjourned about
two months earlier than before for the last ten
years, having a targe amount of the. public j
business undone, and yet pocketed their whole j
year's salary and milage. These are the facts, j
and this is the evidence on which it is icek- i
ie.-sly a.sscrtcd that "The representatives of j
the people seem for once to have partially lost
sight of their own interests very '' partially,"
iudeed, Mr. Meyers.
Again, the (list public act passed by this
great democratic and econotuicul Congress, was
an act authorizing the Usue of twenty millions
of paper money, under the name of Treasury
notes, thus ruuuing tLe country in debt twenty
millions to start on. Before the session
hardly five months is over, they pass another
law, authorizing a loan of twenty millions
more, thus pushing the country headiong in
debt forty millions of dollars , iu six months.
Now, it is a notorious fact, that there wa from
seventeen to twenty millions of dollars surplus
in the Treasury, at the coumiencement of Mr
Buchanan's term. This has been all spent; all
the immense revenues from customs, lands, and
other sources since that, have been all spent*
and, in addition to all this, this " economical"
and "Democratic*' Congress, at one short ses
sion, has incurred a national debt of forty
millions of dollars.
Those are only a few of tiio items of profli
gate and extravagant, an J, wo may add, un
precedented expenditures of the last Congress;
and at an early day, when wc have more time
and space, we will feel it our duty to give fur
ther details.
And this is the "economical Congress*' we
arc asked to admire, and which the democratic
press would hold up as a model. We hope the
people are well enough informed, and houcst
enough, to repudiate as false aud disg raccfnl
all such economy, and all such sham democra
cy as this.
lO.\. SIMoTCAMERON.
The uarne of this distinguished Senator of
Pennsylvania, is now veiy generally spoken of
in connection with the ucxt Presidency, and
we notice that the Huntingdon American has
already hoisted the CAMERON flag. Mr.
Camf.ron is now considered one of the best
and most influential members of the Senate,
and always true to the interests of this Stato.
lie lias made souie of the be-t speeches that
have been made iu tho Senate during the late
•session, extracts from several of which we have
published. Pennsylvania has never yet had
a President,tho one who now occupies that po
sition being only a representative of the
Southern %Slave power intercst--aud she pre
sents the strongest claims for that position,
and should Hon. Simon Camf.ron receive the
uotuination, he would carry his nativo State by
an overwhelming majority, and would be elected
by an unprecedented vote. Locofocoism knows
his strength and dreads it.
HARVEST.— Some of our farmers expect to
commence harvesting next week. The crops
gouerally look well. We hoar some complaint
of the weevil and tho rust, but we think tho
injury will be but slight.

j LOCOFOCO CASbtI>ATK FOR CoNOHICSS.
j There is now considerable commotion in the
liocofoco camp in this district in reference In
tlie eandidicy for Congress Wilson Reiley, the
present incumbent, and John Cessna, of Bed
ford, are the most prominent The Conferees
appointed last week for this County are well
known to be iu favor of Cessna. lie will also
secure ihe FultoD Conferees, so that he will go
into Conference, backed with the solid votes of
two Counties out of the five. Uviley will have
a iiaid road to travel to defeat him, Cessna
is au adept at log-rolling aud wirc-ptliilug, and
it would uot surprise us much if he receive-.'
j the votes of Juniata and Adams. He has an
| advantage over Reilly, ulso, as ho has remaio
jed aloof from the Lecompton question which
i has rendered Reilly odious with so ru'.ny in

Only thirteen out of Hie twenty-one Hof*

candidate for Poor Director is especially unfit,
and as decidedly unpopular—the Coroner is an
old broken-down hack, who, like the editors of
the (iazelfe, has only lately joined the Locofoco
party, considering it the best iuvestmcmt on a
small amount of intellectual and office-seeking

Ttiouui. E IN THE CAMP. —The Chicago A'a.
,\ # ®
ftonal Union, some days since, denounced F.
J. Grund, Mr. Buchanan's Jlgssian emissary.
The Union is the organ of tW Administration,
and the article was written by Mr. Hcliade, one
ol the editors. At Spriugfield, Mr. Grund
pulled Mr. Schado's nose, and Mr. Schade
struck Mr. Grund with a cane. There was a
prospect of a beautiful fight, but bystanders
iuterferred and prevented it. The Union of
Sauday morning contains the announcemffct of
the withdrawal of Louis Soltado. He.says ia
it is c.*.rd ;
"lieing no longer at liberty to conduct the
National Union in the way 1 would like to do,
and being too good a deinociat to lend a band
in destroying the democratic party of Illinois,
I voluntarily withdraw from the editorial man
agement of this paper."
A note from flie editor pro. itm. renounces
the article on Grund, and says it is not a lair
exposition of that sheet in relation to the Presi
dent's emissary . The retraction is made in ac
cordance with a resolution passed at the caucus
ct the Cook county delegation at Spiingfield.
So the President and his man Gruad triumphed.
Are there auy other papers iu the Union con
trolled by the Piesident ? The Tribune says :
Scbadc has found "Jordan a hatd road to
travel." First.— lie made a pilgrimage to
Washington, and came back with fisherman's
luck. Second.—He attacked F. J. Grund in
his paper, and got his no*c pulled therefor.—
Third.—He was incontinently kicked out of
the concern.
It is rumored that Charles K Pine, editor
of the Princeton Democrat, will take char geof
the Union. The Buchanan State convention
raised about §3OOO for the support of the es
tablishment.
The New York Herald, a Buchanan organ,
gives up the election in 1860. Retrenchment
and reform, he says, must carry the ucxt elec
tion. There never was so much need for both.
The National Treasury exhausted, the Govern
ment in debt, the corn crop a failure, how are
the people to pay taxes for State and county
purposes aud the §23 per head necessary to
support the extravagances of Mr. Buchanan's
administration. Every fanner in this county,
in addition to his ordinary taxes, pays, iudireet
-Iy, to the National Treasury §23 for every
persou on his premises; if there are ten in the
family he pays §230 towards supporting the
administration. Is it any wonder the old grey
rats like Bennett desert a sinking ship? The
Herald says :
The lato Presidential election; from the divi
sions of the popular vote, established die con
viction of tho publio mind that not only a ma
jority, but an overwhelming majority of the
people of the United States are opposed to the
democratic party. We have hetetofore shown
that since the year 1886 tho democratic has
been a minority party, and that its success iu
1841, 1852, and resulted, not from its
own in herent strength, but from the disson
sious and divisions and conflicting factions of
tl o opposition. Mr. Buchanan was thus slip
| ped iu Ujt wecn two conflicting opposition fao
j tious, which, if united, would havo defeated
| him by a popular majority of nearly four Inn-
I dred thousaud votes.

A Conjecture.
It is conjectured in certain quarters that the
British answer to our remonstrances ngainst
visitiug our ships in tho Gulf of Mexico, will
in substance, be some whit like the following :
"We have in no manner changed our in
struct tons to our commanders of vessels em
ployed in suppressing tue Slave trade Those
instructions were made out several years ago,
and the Government of the l uitcd States duly
apprised of their nature. On the coast of
Africa whore there is but little American Com
merce, they have uot led to any evil conse
quences: and when the Administration oj Mr.
Buchanan, seme months since, REQUESTED
of the British Govn nmeni to change the cruis
ing ground of its squadron for the suppres
sion of the Slave trade, from the Coast of 1
Africa to the Coast of Cuba, we very cheer
fully complied with its request. It appears
that instructions which truthgovernments deem- j
ed judicious for the Coast of Africa, where 1
thore was scarcely any American Commerce, :
have proved to be troublesome on the Coast of;
Cuba in the midst of your large Commerce in ,
that quarter. Her Majesty's Government re- !
gret that any such difficulties should have
arisen from the chauge of the crusiiig ground
of its squadron at the request oj the American '
Government; and they will promply give such
instructions to their naval commanders in the
Gulf of Mexico, as will effectually guard i
ngainst similar complaiuts in future.'.
Now if this should be the state of the case ;
and if after all, it should turn out, that our
government asked of England to change her
cruising ground, well knowing what were her
instructions to her officers on the coast of Af
rica, Mr. Buchanan and his administration, will
very justly be laughed at for their blustering.
We do not eutertaiu a doubt but England will
apologize for any wrong committed, because
she well knows that not to do so rentiers war
inevitable.
As to boasting, and blustei iug, and war-like
speeches in the Senate, they arc understood by
every intelligent reader. The Administration
docs not dream of war, but its friends threaten
aud look to the opposition to hold it back and
keep it in check ; and then in 1860 we will be ;
called the Peace Party willing to submit to
British Aggression 1 Our friends preccive this
game, and check-mate it by coolly saying :
We shall not be iu your way. The Government
is yours, and if you wuut war with England,
so be it—have ii your own way ; only do uot
ask us to hold you back when you pretend to
be anxious for a fight. You are responsible to
the people for the honor of the country ; and
if you decide that a war with England is ne
cessary for its vindication, so be it; the
Republican Party will not be iu your way."
This is a simple translation of the ganio b<i_
ing played at Washington ; and the Adminis
tration having discovered that they can have
war if they desire it. are exceedingly frighten
ed lest it should actually take place.—. V. Y.!

ARRIVAL
COL. THOMAS L. KANE to whom justly be
; longs all the credit of adjusting our difficulties
with the Mormons, arrived at his home, in
Philadelphia, on Friday evening lasr, trom
j Utah. 'J'he New York Tribune, iu alluding to
j his return, speaks as follows ;
j "During this period he has travelled front
j New ioik, byway o! ifun Francisco and San
Bernardino, to Salt Like City, in the depth of
winter, in the surprisingly short lime, if we an
nul misrekt-D, of forty-seven days, lu San
Bernardino he was arrested as a Mormon agent
: ; '"d escaped with great danger, losing all tho
! furs lie vided fit the tedious journey
j between that place and the Morniau settlements
! in Utah. This journey, as wc have heard, wss
. attended wiih much peril: be was repeatedly
j compelled l*> bide himself under the merchan
i disc conveyed by his couipacious, in order lo
avoid falling into tlie bauds of outlaying par
| ties of Mormon*, who would lure killed him
I as a secret ageut or spy of the Federal Gcv
-1 err.mi nt. What difficulties he encountered
after his anivul at Salt Like City, or how ho
flu-lily induced the Mormon leaders to make
: peace and submit to the Federal authorities, will
! very probably, in due time, be communicated
to the public. Thru came (he extraordinary
ride from Salt L ike City to the camp of the
United States army, where, as our readers will
remember, after twenty-six hours of contiuu'-
o'is exposure to the inclo.i e icy of wii.tc:, u.05f,.
it iiv! all, the time in the saddle, lie arrived io.
a state of speechless exhaustion. Finally, ho
accompanied Governor Humming to Salt Lake
City, and saw him inducted into his office; and
'hen, his mission of peace accomplished, ho
came home.
" 1 he Government having disavowed all con
nection with Col. Kane's efforts, the credit of
in ikiug them, and of the success with which
they have been crowned, belongs entirely to
him. lu our judgment they constitute a claim
upon the esteem and gratitude of the country
which can never be disputed, lie has avoid
ed the effusion of blood ; he has saved the ex
penditure of millions; he has substituted peace
tor a war in which glory was impossible. A
private citizen, he has done what all the power
of the Government eould not accomplish.—
liouor to the patriot aud peacemaker
MUD SILL CLUBS Sinator Hammond of
South Carolina, bids fair to become famous.—
His recent speech in the Senate of the United
States, in defence of the ''peculiar institution"
of the South, has attracted great attention.—
i'lie honorable gentleman argued that Slaiory
was necessary to free government, that if there
was uu black Slavery, there must be white
Slavery, lletice the laborers of the North,
must be iu reality slaves—tho "mud sills" ot
the*?9oci'.ty. It wi Ibe some timi before the
nabobs of the South and the Free-Traders who
go against domestic labor, will hear the last of
this speech.
The San Francisco, (Ctrl.) Chronicle has tho
following:
"MUD SILL' CDUO. —Wo learn that a large
number of the Democrats in the second Dis
trict of this city p- e taking steps to organize it
politic >1 club juder the name of the "Jlud Sill
Club. ' ' Atl j s c < lU b will doubtless bo organized
within the coming week.
Some of the Douglas-Broderick meu soy they
will have "Mud Sill Clubs" in overy town iu
the S*ate. We presume the Buchanan man
will be organized uuder tho titlo of "Hufflj
Shirt Clubs."

now lying at tho bottom of* the ocean, and esti
