THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C.
THE GLOBE.
Huntingdon, Wednesday, July 30, 1856.
Line upon Line--Bore and there a Little.
In anion—The Blair County Court. Got enough to do.
A rich treat expected'—The "Excelsior Baud" will give a
Grand Concert at August Court.
Nay expect a fall house—The "Excelsior Band" when
they give a Concert.
Looks comfortable—Mr. Lawrence, Ticket and Freight
Agent, in the now office at the Depot.
Very rruounot-h7ce—Getting married by a Catholic Priest,
as Fremont did.
Wanted—A first class cooper and one 'hundred thous
and hoop poles. Apply at the dress-makers.
Cool—The rain on Monday afternoon.
..(IPickles of the Standard thinks there is no danger of
young ladies now-a-days bursting with envy—they are too
well hooped.
Ila"—Gabe, junior—night—West Huntingdon—practising
-Premont speeches. Look out I
"We shall have the pleasure of stumping the county."
—Journal.
The Doctor will retail Baltimore Lock Hospital medicines
and those receipts he received from Now York, while Gabe,
Jr., will instruct young men under age how to put in ille-
gal votes.
Ye) -.Who are the leaders of the Black Republican party
in Huntingdon and Blair counties?—Sam. G. 'Whittaker
alias Gabe, jr., the illegal voter, who has appointed himself
Chairman of the Republican County Committee of Hun
tingdon county—and George Raymond the " kicked-offt"
of nil political parties and respectable society. Can re
spectable men act with such characters ?
Won't _Fuse—The Americans with the Republicans. The
Americans allege that a fusion with such a sheet as the
Journal and its editors, would drive all the respectable
men of their party over to the Democrats.
Telling wide great effect—The war which is being carried
into Africa. Let the campaign proceed vigorously.
Numerous—Desertions from the Black Republican ranks.
Let them do it—The Journal says—" The Republican
Americans have seen proper to call a County Convention,
separate and distinct from all others." Cause why—their
numbers are few and far between, and none will espouse
their treasonable cause. Let them hold a convention and
nominate a ticket—let them enter the field as a party, with
sentiments of treason and disunion upon their lips, and
they will be routed from the centre to the circumference
of the county. Stick a pin there!
A Glorious Time Expected !—A Pic Nic and Harvest
Home Celebration will come off at the Sinking Valley Cave
and Arch Spring on Friday next, Ist instant.
.tIZ.A western editor suggests as a good rallying cry for
the Black Republicans : Millions for black wool but not a
cent for white sheep I
Can't do it—The opposition can't find throughout Mr.
Buchanan's forty 3-ears' career, as a public man, any per
sonal point on which to attack him.
Cun't stop.tltem—The Boston Courier says many of the
Boston Webster National Whigs will support the Buchanan
ticket, and endeavors to persuade them not to do it. The
Courier's efforts are of no use—the Buchanan ball is roll
ing, and can't be stopped. The patriotic old-line Whigs
are keeping step with the Democrats to the music of the
Union.
Out for Enclecolon—James B. Clay, Esq., son 4. the
illustrious sage of Ashland, is out in a letter for Buchanan.
Worthy son of a noble sire !
_Does our respected opponent of the Hollidaysburg
Register mean to say that Henry Clay, if living, would be
a Know-Nothing? His long and illustrious life, his pub
lic and private acts, furnish nothing to sustain such an
opinion. The great body of the Whig party having "de
generated into a contemptible Abolition diction," if living,
the voice of Henry Clay would be heard throughout the
land proclaiming to the people the absolute necessity of
electing James Buchanan, and thus preserve the Constitu- -
tion and the Union and restore peac3 and harmony to this
distracted country. In a crisis like the present, former
political difficulties would be forgotten, and we should see
the Sage of Ashland and the venerable Cass leading for
ward the Democratic hosts to victory.
A Rag that will not Wave.—A sixteen starred flag has
been raised at a Black Republican gathering in Norway,
Maine. The number is significant of the sense of the
party who raised it. They have but half of the proper
amount.
Smells of British. Gold!—The movements of the Black
Republicans. The race of Benedict Arnolds has not yet
run out!
Enmo-Nothing Agony.—An Indiana Ku ow-Nothing,, wri
ting to the Louisville (Ky.) Democrat, thus laconically ex
presses his agony at the fate of Hindooism in that State:
" &rube has got Sam. Ho won't even let Sam sleep in
the same bed with him over here in Indiana. He swears
that ' Africans must rule America' And his motto is—
' Put none but Niggers on guard to night' We're all go
ing to the devil as fast as wo can, and I want to sell out.'
Republican County Convention.—-" Sam. G. Whitta
ker, Chairman of the County Committee," -- a, the same
who published the "Family Record:' to-prove that he vo
ted illegally, has issued a call for a Black Republican Coun
ty Convention to meet first Court week for the purpose of
nominating a County Ticket. The "Americans" say they
can't swallow the "lingers."
American County Convention.—The "Americans" will
bold a Convention first Court week fur the purpose of nom
inating a County Ticket. We shall see whether they can
swallow the "lingers," Brewster, IThittaker, Gov. Wil
liamson, and Fisher.
Just like him.—Last week Doctor Brewster was requested
by Dr. Wycoff of Pittsburg to furnish us with a copy of
his advertisement for publication in the Globe and in bills.
The Doctor, thinking no doubt that by keeping the adver
tisement from us it would assist him some in "starving us
out," refused to comply with Mr. Wycoff's request. Stran
gers will soon know the animal as he is known by all who
have over had any dealings with him.
,The Jackson Hotel property has been purchased by
Mr. James Boon, Superintendent of Huntingdon and B.
T. Rail Road. 'We can't say for what purpose it has been
bought, but we do know that the purchaser is a man for
the times and the place.
The Bedford Springs.—These Springs are just now crowd
ed with visitors from the eastern cities—all reaching them
by the Huntingdon and Broad Top route. We also learn
that a company of Philadelphia capitalists largely con
cerned in the 11. B. T. Railroad, have purchased the
Bedford Springs property.
X&' The Journal still insists, without a particle of evi
dence to sustain the assertion, and in thee of the knowl
edge of every man in Huntingdon county to the contrary,
that we area Roman Catholic! 4, They tell the lie, know
ing it to be a lie, and intending it as a lie." They are,
without' exception, the most incorrigible liars we over
knew. There is no dependance to be placed on any state
meet they make. They must have a bad conscience. We
pity them ; for,
"Not sharp revenge, nor hell itself, can find
A fiercer torment than a guilty mind ;
While day and night does dreadfully accuse,
Condemns the wretch, and still the charge renews,"
Spurned—The overtures made by a few of the Black Re
publicans for a fusion with the Democracy 1 They were at
once indignantly spurned.
Rather Gloomy—The prospects of the Iluntingdou Jour
nal. Time will convince them of the error of their.way,'
but the experience will be dear.
"Aro you for Fremont !" asked a dark party hack,
/oho tapped a K. N., with a smile, on the back,
With a smile that soon spread to a snigger!
"No, sir," he replied, "for Fillmore I go,
A little reflection has taught me to know,
That a white man 's as good as a nigger."
A Rich Political Jokc,—'Yo have private authentic ad
vices of an amusing but indicative mistake, of which Fre
mont was the victim. In Now York city, last week, the
Free-Soil candidate went on board the steamship "Oriza
ba" to say "adios" to some Caliernia-bound friends. A
gentleman who was with Fremont, said to Padre Vijil,
the Nicaragua minister, who was on board, "Allow me
to introduce your excellency to the next President of the
United States," (making a motion toward Fremont, but
not calling him by name.) The Pedro stepped forward,
raised his hat, bowed, and said, "I am very happy to see
you, Mr. Bucustv.4-N I"
iLnough said.—Southern Argtt.F.
BREWSTER, and
•triPSADIUR.L G. WHITTAICE.R.,.
Editors of the " Huntingdon Journal."
These individuals have charged us with
" owing our present freedom to executive
"clemency" and with being " a pardoned con
" vict." And further, that we are a "Roman
" Catholic—a Jesuit—bound by all the popish
" rites and ceremonies of the Roman Church—
" chained to the car of the anti-Christ of the
" seven-hilled city, by all the forms, oaths,
"and obligations required by that Pontiff."
The truth is expected from men occupying
the positions they do, as editors of a public
journal and members of a Christian church.
They disgrace both these positions by their
bold and malicious LIES.
The charges Brewster and Whittaker have
made against us we pronounce FALSE, and
shall continue to do so, and keep them
posted throughout the county as the most IN
FAMOUS LIARS until they retract their false
hoods or accept the- propositions we now
make.
We propose that William Brewster and
Samuel G. Whittaker select a committee of
five respectable gentlemen, citizens of Hun
tingdon, from their own political party, and
their own church,—said committee to sit with
open doors on any day previous to August
Court, to hear evidence to justify the above
charges, and to report under oath. The re
port to be published L the " Journal" and
" Globe."
If said committee report that we owe our
present freedom to executive clemency, or
that we are a pardoned convict—a Roman
Catholic—" bound by the popish rites and.
ceremonies of the Roman Church, we agree
to pay into their hands the sum of one hun
dred dollars—s2s to pay expenses of commit
tee—s2s to pay Brewster and Whittaker for
their trouble and attendance ; and $5O to be
presented to the Huntingdon Brass Band.
If Brewster and Whittaker fail to convince
the Comraittee that the charges they have
made against us are true, they shall pay ex
penses of Committee and present to the Hun
tingdon Brass Band the sum of $5O.
Will William Brewster and Samuel G.
Whittaker face the music? Will they make
us as liberal an offer to sustain the charges
we have made against them? We shall see.

• FATAL AFFRAY.-0 Ur community was
thrown into painful excitement on Sunday'
morning, by an occurrence of the night pre
vious, the like of which never took place in
our town before. The particulars, which we
have gleaned from several eye witnesses, are
as follows : On Saturday night, between
the hours of 10 and U. o'clock, Thomas
McGee, late merchant of this place, Dr.
McKee, and Daniel J. Neff, Attorney at Law,
went into Dannals' Restaurant, and seated
themselves at the table, a portion of which
was afterwards occupied by Daniel K. Ra
mey, Maj. Geo. Raymond, David Hewit and
others. Several others joined Neff's party,
and after eating, McGee's party went to the
bar room. At the door McGee met Hewit
and demanded of him a bill of eighty seven
and a half cents. The demand was not
made abruptly enough to insult Mr. Ilewit,
and he immediately drew his wallet and
tendered McGee, a $2,00 bill, whereupon the
latter went out to the bar to get change.
In his absence, some conversation took place
on the propriety of dunning a man in a pub
lic restaurant, when Hewit started out after
his change. He was followed by Major Ray
mond and several others; and some wrang
ling ensued, when Maj. Leet, for the pur
hose of pacifying the parties, handed Mr.
Hewit the change, which he took from his
own pocket. Mr. Hewit then returned to
ward the dining room, and it was thought
the difficulty was settled. It appears, how
ever, that when Hewit reached the room
door, Raymond declared that it was an in
sult to dun a man for money in company.
Hewit remarked in a jocular manner that it
was "rather rough," but should be overlooked.
Raymond declared that it should not be
overlooked—that McGee had insulted him
(Raymond) by presenting a bill, but that
when he had made out his bill, he had
brought McGee out $B,OO in debt, and he
meant to have the money. He continued
asserting that it was a d—d insult and
should be resented. This roused Hewit and
both started to where McGee, Neff and oth
ers were standing, when Raymond rolled up
his sleeves, and said he was "in for two
chances." When he came near McGee,
Neff warded his approach off with his arm,
when Raymond started for the door. In the
meantime ffewit caught McGee by the coat
collar and shook him. Neff interfered and
told him to let McGee alone, as he was a
weakly . man. Hewit then released his hold
on McGee, and struck Neff, when the latter
drew from his pocket a clasp dirk knife, and
warned Hewit not to conic at him again.
Hewit advanced toward him a second time,
while Daniel K. Reamy endeavored 'to hold
him back, and when near enough, Neff ad
vanced a step and stabbed Hewit in the
left side. Immediately afterwards Neff
walked to the front door, and Hewit went
into the dining room, where he discovered
that lie was stabbed, From thence he went
to the office of Dr. Landis, who attempted to
probe the wound, but failing to do so, he
dressed it, and Hewit went home, To
wards morning internal hemorrhage ensued,
and he vomited great quantities of blood.
During all day on Sunday he kept sinking
until tn o'clock at night when he died.
A post viortem examination was held by
Drs. Landis, Irvin and Conrad on Monday
morning. It was found that the knife pone
trated between the fifth and sixth ribs, mid
way between the spine and sternum, and
passed through - the lower left lobe of the
lungs into the transverse colon. Nothing
but Mr. Hewit's powerful constitution pre
vented immediate death.
Coroner James Funk summoned the fol
lowing jury, viz : John Cox, J. 11. Bell,
Henry Learner, William McFarland, Jona.
Dern9, S. W. Rhodes, Joseph Smith, Hugh
McNeal, J. Berry, B. M. Johnston and
Daniel Bollinger, who, after viewing the
body, held an inquest at District Attorney
Hammond's office, and returned as a verdict
that the deceased came to his death by
means of a wound inflicted by a knife in
the hands of Daniel J. Neff.
From the "Standard."
Mr. Neff graduated in the office of Mr.
Blair in this place, and was always looked
upon as a quiet, inoffensive young man.
His father lives a short distance below Alex
dria. He promptly gave himself up to the
Sheriff on Sunday morning.
It may be as well here to remark, that the
evidence as to the precise time he drew the
knife is contradictory. Some assert that he
drew the knife before llewit struck him
-others that he did not draw it until after he
was struck. This is a conflicting point to be
decided by a jury.
Mr. Hewit was about 40 years of age, and
was one of the oldest settlers in the place—
having come here about the year 1828. He
leaves a wife and some five or six children.
On Monday morning a messenger was
sent to Huntingdon for Judge Taylor, who
arrived in the ten o'clock train, when a writ
of habeas corpus was sued out, and made re
turnable at 2 o'clock, P. M. At that hour
the court met when some five or six witness
es were examined, after which the Judge re
leased Neff on $6OOO bail for his appearance
at court. •
We have thus given a brief account as we
gathered it from the witnesses. We forbear
making any comment that could prejudice
the case either way, rather choosing to leave
it to a court of justice to say who was to
blame for this sad and sickening tragedy.
COURT.—The July Term of the Court of
Oyer and Terminer, Quarter Sessions, ae.,
commences on Monday next. The criminal
calends: is one of the darkest records of crime
ever brought before any tribunal since Blair
has been a county. Murder, homicide, at
tempts to kill, burglary, larceny, &c., stare
us in the face in such glaring colors that we
are forced to wonder what we are coming to.
It is deeply to be regretted, that our county,
so long free from the stain of crime, should
now present an array of trials not unlike
those tried in the southwest, when it was in
fested with the most reckless desperadoes.
It is not certain that either Davis or Rock
er will be tried, they will both make an
effort to have their trial put off: This -Un
certainty, and the fact that farmers are very
busy at present, makes it probable that there
will not be a very large attendance at court.
—Standard.
Murderous Assault. On Thursday last in
Altoona, a colored barber named Dennis,
made a murderous assault with a razor on
another colored man named Sam Richardson,
cutting an awful gash in the side of his face
and neck, exposing the jugular vein, but
fortunately not severing it. He was arrest
ed and lodged in our jail. He was drunk.—
Register.
Riot on, Saturday night.—On Saturday
night last a row was kicked up in a Lagar
Beer saloon on Juniata street, which grewinto
a sort of a free fight and riot extending from
the basement of the U. S. Hotel to the Juni
ata House, and we understand that quite a
number of blacked eyes and broken heads
was the consequence. —.M.
Row on Sabbath.—On Sabbath last a row
occurred at a doggery on Montgomery street
in this place, and one of the parties, in a
very intoxicated condition was taken to jail.
—lb.
XtE":r An Irishman in Lloyd's "Brown Row"
on Union street, brutally beat his wife en
Monday night last, and was arrested and ta
ken to jail. All said to have been drunk—,
of course they were.-Ib.
Law and Order
The most significant sign of the times—
one which is leading many sober-minded peo
ple to anticipate an early dissolution of the
Union—is the disposition of individuals and.
parties to disregard law and order in the ac
complishment of their designs. With a class
of politicians—the Black Republicans—even
the Constitution of the Union is scouted, and
held to be a secondary consideration to what
they term the "freedom of Kansas." At a
recent meeting of this class of politicians at
Buffalo, measures were taken to raise $lOO,-
000 a month to make Kansas a free State,
which it was boldly said should be done in.
spite of the United. States Government and.
forces. GERRETT SMITH subscribed for this
purpose $l5OO per month, and drew his check
for the first instalment. What is this but
meditated treason ? And why these wicked
and fanatical efforts to make Kansas free ?
when every sensible man knows that if she
had been left alone—if emigration had been
permitted to take its natural course—if a tone
of vituperation and menace had not been as
sumed by the fanatics of the North against
the South—Kansas could not have been 'made
a slave State. The truth is, there are a set of
traitors in the Eastern States, who, finding
they cannot gain political power without a
dissolution of the Union, are endeavoring to
accomplish that object by every means in
their power. We are not uncharitable—we
believe that we are merciful—we abhor blood
shed—but at this time we cannot refrain
from expressing the opinion that if the trea
sonable movement of the Black Republicans
in regard to Kansas is persisted in much lon
ger, the peace and safety of the Union will
demand the punishment of the leaders in the
rebellion. Come what may—war, pestilence,
famine, or even worse, if possible—the Union
and the laws must be upheld. Tho fanati
cism which leads to open defiance of both
must • be put down, and the traitors must be
taught that the Federal Government, support
ed. by the Constitution and law.abiding citi
zens of the States, is strong enough to sup
port itself and punish the enemies of the
Union, Guided by the advice of the leading
agitators in the Eastern States, the free State
men of Kansas—or, at least a large portion of
them, have acted not only foolishly but trai
torously. With arms in their hands and
treason on their tongues, they have sought to
establish a government in opposition to the
existing government, and without authority
under the Constitution or any law of Con
gress. And what makes this worse, the re
bellion—for we can call it nothing else—is
sustained by the whole force of the Black Re
publican party in Congress.
We extract a brief and. clear 'statement of
the case - from the Journal of Commerce of the
17th inst., and ask all sober minded, law and
Union loving citizens to read and ponder it
well. The Journal says:
"One other notable instance of defiance of
law . we will mention, and that is to be seen
in Kansas. There a Territoral government
was organized under a law of Congress—the
Executive officers bein appointed by the
President of the United 'states, as required by
that law—and the Legislature chosen by the
people. In the choice of the Legislature,
there were gross frauds, beyond a doubt ; yet
a large majority of the members received cer,
tificates of election from Gov. Reeder, whose
duty it was made by said law to determine
who of the candidates voted for in each case,
received the highest number of "legal' votes.
Moreover, the United States Court having ju
risdiction of the case, decided that the Legis
lature thus elected was a legal body ; and
the President of the United States (as well as
Gov Reeder at first) recognized it as such.
There is no pretence, so far as we know, that
Gov. Shannon and other officers of the Terri
tory appointed by the President, are not the
legal officers of the Territory. Nevertheless,
a portion of the people, acting probably un
der advice from their friends met in Conven
tion at Topeka, and provided for the elec
tion of a Governor, Legislature, &e., by the
people, just as if the President and Congress,
and all their acts, and the acts, performed un
der their authority, had been a nullity. A
Governor, Legislature, &c., were elected ac
cordingly ; nobody taking part in the elec
tion except that portion of the Free State men
who approved of the proceedings. If ever
there was a downright defiance of the su
preme authority of the nation, surely this
was. And it is so regarded by the national gov
ernment, as well as by the Territorial au
thorities. Accordingly, Gov. Robison. and
his associate usurpers in office, have been ar
rested on a charge of treason, and the preten
ded Legislature dispersed by Col. Sumner,
who otherwise had orders from the President
to arrest them. It is the Constitution adop
ted by that Topeka Convention, which the
United States House of Representatives have
voted by three majority to recognize as the
Constitution of the Territory; thus virtually
sanctioning one of the grossest usurpations
that ever was attempted. Such is the strength
of sectional prejudice. The Senate, by a ma
jority of three or four to one, have refused to
concur. And so the case stands at present.

TIIIGHTNING RODS ! Armitage's Pa
4TENT OF SUPERIOR ELECTRIC 311 G NET LIGHT
NING RODS, it is now' admitted on all hands, that every
building to be secure from the destructive influences of
lightning should be provided with a good conductor.
The large number of worthless rods that are put up
makes it necessary for purchasers to examine the merits
of the different rods offered for sale.
'The public need but to examine Armitage's rods to be
convinced that they are constructed upon not only the
best, but the only safe principle of any rod in use.
Over 6000 of these rods have already been put up with
out the loss of a dollar's worth of property by lightning in
any building to which they have been attached, which is
the best evidence that they are perfectly secure. I have a
few on hand which I will sell for less than h tlf of the re
tail price asked by Armitage. to close out my stock. Call
soon at Coloti's Book Store, Lluntingdon, l'a., where they
can be had of COLON.
