D. OVER-Editor and Proprietor.
FOR PRESIDENT IN 1860,
HON. SIMON CAMERON,
OP PENNSYLVANIA,
Subject to the decision of the National Convention.)
FOR GOVERNOR:
ANDREW G. CURTIN,
OF CENTRE COUNTY.
To Our Friends!
During the past winter we sect rut quite
number of accounts to some of our subscribers,
for subscription, varying in amount, from §4
to S2O. We stated that we had purchased a
property and had Dear SIOOO to pay on the
Ist of April, now near at hand, and would be
glad if they cou'd make<t suit to pay the re
spective amounts, or at least part of them, but
as yet we have not received from these persons
$25, in a!!. Come, friends, don't let us stick,
but every one of you try to pay us immedia
tely.
A Bill has been introduced into the Legis
iature, by Senator Hall, r>f Blair, providing,
that coal and ore rights an 1 miuing privileges,
owned by any person or urpnration'within
this Commonwealth, shall be assessed and tax
ed according to their vulue, and the taxe3 col
lected S3 real estate taxes nor re.
To this bill a rewspaper eV.; ? the "Mining
Keoora" objects, it seems. We ..ru net sure
but that the "Mtuiug Record" may bo some
what in the interest of the coal-rigbt specula
tors. At any rate, we regard the proposed law
as eminently just and proper.
It is not very rnsny yeais since the Suhuyi
kiil County farmer hauled bis black diamonds
into Philadelphia, and found no sale [> r them,
people bating t.o fa it h in lis assertion that the
black stones would barn. Ten years or so
ago, the Brcnd Top coal field, surface, coal,
ore and all, was regarded as of very little thine.
The whole mountain cm id Lave Leeu.purcha
sed probably at an average of two or dol
lars an acre, and coai righ's were purchased at
a mere song If wc mistake not, iu 1848, or
thereabouts, a citizen of this place bought the
cxolnsive right to the coal and all other mine
rals of over one thousand acres on Brnadtop,
for one hundud and fifty <'o'{<irs, which on
the completion of the rati road was worth from
thirty to forty thousand dollars, and this is
not a iiolitary case.
Now, what is the surface or farming tight of
Broad Top lends worth / About as nearly
nothing as land can be—rough, rocky, steep,
and poor as it is. But the coal and ore rights
are valuable—will be imm nsely valuable imny
of them, no doubt, when trade and times re-
VIVf.
B , t!3 the law stands now, the laud is taxed
10 the poor ta'Jtt owoiug the comparatively
worthless surface right—the mere shell —whilst
the speculator having the coal and rutoing
righ", the really valuable kernel, pays uo tax
whatever.
And the object of this bill, as we understand
it, is, that the owner of the surface right shall
bo taxed for what he actually has, according to
it* value, au i tho owner of the coal right shall
Use pay his duo proportion of taxes to support
tho government, which protects fcim in and se
cures to him hit rights and priviliges.
Dedfoia County as well as Blair is interested
this thing should be done.
Ther" has be n, within the isst f. w year?, in
•uany of the miueial Counties of the S'afe, n
good deal of speculating in mineral rights and
mining privileges. Keen, shrewd speculators
have traveled among the farmers along the
lines of projected public improvement?, and
purchased for a trifle, from uusurpicious nod
unknowing men, ct>*l una ore rights, worth
*ny times more than the whole land besides.
And it seems there is no provision for uxiog
•hese tight*. We aro at a less to uadersfaud
how t>y ouo can doubt the propriety of doing
it. If any one is to escape taxation, let it ra
ther be the owner of the poor mountain sur
face, *bao the owner of the coal. But let each
pay tueir fair proportion. Let the assessor
value the whole tract, coal and all, and then
divide that value fairly betweeu tho respective
interests. Dan any reasonable man object to
tbia! A property, whether it bo coal right or
surtaco, is generally regarded as being worth
what it wilt bring at a fair cash sale.
The editor of the Bedford Gazette heads a
paragraph on tho subject of this bill, "More
Protectionand asks, "Is this the kind of
"protection Republicanism is in favor of giv
ing Pennsylvania coal and irou! Its Tariff
"turns out to be taxation."

Ilall is connected with a protective tariff, wc
cannot understand. Docs the G.zette ono
mean tc say that the owner oi a eoal rubt
should not pay Lis fair share of u* on i:1
But suppose, lir. Gazette, you define your
D'sitaco 00 :b#ubject of a protective tariff-
you seem to be so fend of "spreading" your
self oracularly on great questions. Perhaps a
little honest and earnest advocacy of a protect
ive tariff at your hands, now yon are, or'pre
tend to be, a Democrat, might be of service,
if you really are io favor of protecting Peons
vylvania iron and coal. The President and
the Reading Convention have made it safe
(you have an eye to that) for you to take that
course, and as there his been a good deal of
anti-tariff prcsched and taught io the meetings
and presses of your party for some years past,
in this section, it might he well to enlighten
the masses a little. The facility ycu seem to
hevo acquired in turning at the beck of self
interest, will make jou a vory proper leader in
this party position.
THE LAST OF HARPER'S FERRY.
No soouer had John Brown and his mad fol
lowers made the attack on Harper's Ferry,
than the whole Locofoeo party charged the
blame of it on the R cpublican party, and ac
cused them of being iu some way connected
with it. Pretending to believe these charges
true, Senator Mason, of Virgiuia, so soon as
Congress met, procured the appointment of a
democratic committee of investigation, with
himself as Chairman, fully authorized to ex
amine the w'uolo subject. This investigation
has been rigorously pressed for months, vud
the result is just what we expected, and knew
it would be. Not a single spark of evidence
bus been procured to show that anybody but
John Brown and his twenty-three nin knew
auything about it. More than this, it positive
ly appears that nobody else did know anything
on tbf, subject. Not cvoa Gerrit Smith, and
bis radical school of abolitionists, were aware
of .Brown's piarts, and he has couiutencod ac
tions of siander certain parties fur
charging that he w-s connected with the ua :
scheme.
So complete ha* bceu she acquittal oI >
Republic ms, aud all others i the North, . < i
ID a recent speech iu Congress, the liou. Lien
rj Winter I'avis, of Maryland, in speaking of
this w (iter, says:
"The utmost vigilance oj two governments
has failed to trac a single connection with
any body of men in any State. Two of
Brown's confederates wete arrested iu Peuu
8)1 vania without warrant, and carried without
a guard to jail in Virginia. His arsenal con
tained two hundred Sharpens rifles, and some
thing over a thousand pikes; his arm) consist
ed of about twcut) awn, and such were the
means provided 5-) eighteen millions of people
for the invasion of • a millions.' for though
rum: r promised hiia succor, vo one ever saw a
body of men ot a single man marching to join
him or to rescue h-'m. It (the iovestigadoa)
negatives the existence of an) 3CDpiruo)
ogaiuat cur psaoe in th free States ot' the
UB('cd|. . U). IVelibe* the piao Oof the exdeu
tioo revealed any higher intelligence or grey
er power behind the crazy enthusiasts who act
ed in the tragedy.• To lay this blood at the
door ufa great political party of our fellow
citizens, who now control the government of
every free State except two, in spite of the in
digo ait denial of all their representatives hete,
and without particle of proof in fact, IS
NOT REASONABLE."
Such is the houest st&temeuts and opinion
of an able ami honest Southern member of
C ngre.-;?, nod it confirm? ail we have said
heretofore on the subject. They prove the
otter reekiesnesfl and falsehood of all these
charges ma !e by Locofoco politicians, and the
people everywhere cau now see what the truth
is, and act eceordiogly. 4
THE SPiti\Ci ELECriO.ISI 0 f
The elections in Bedford County, have iai
suited gloriously for the People's Party.

that wo have elected cur whole ticket by an

carried our whole ticket Ky an increased ma
jority over last fall. Esquires Hull sud 0!d

Monroe, we carried cur whole ticket by an in

Borough Election
The eieoticn io this Borough last Friday re
sulted iu the success of the Locofooos, gener
ally. We elected the High Constable by 4
votes of a majority, and Auditor by 46. Oae of
our justioes of the Peace, Esq. litdebaugb
was only beatcu 2 votes 1 The majority of
Hugh Moore, for Judge of Election, was only
10 votes over Martin Miilbtirn. Mr. Moore
ran contidcrably behind tiis ticket. His ma
jority Est year wis 24 ! Mr. Moore, iustead
of attending his duties as Judge, was out of
Lw seat haif the day electioneering, and yet
ran behind lit* party vote! Tho People's
Parly had the power to have elected their
whole ticket, had our men stood firm. A? it
is, wc gain considerably over list year's vote.
