APOLOGY.—The readers of the " Huntingdon Jour
nal" are most earnestly requested to look with every de
gree of allowance upon the wild ravings of the young
trumpeter of that paper. His gross - fabrications against
respectable citizens, have only been met in this community
with smiles of contempt, mingled with pity for their au
thor, who is in no way to be held accountable—he is sup
posed to be idiotic!

after the Governor's election next fall, any how; as with
its valuable assistance the democracy will carry the county
by a clean majority of 500 ! Do you remember our former
predictions? if so, keep this in mind, and then you will
realize the " woolly head's" proverb—" Blessed em dey dat

'HAT A LETTER, MAY no.—The last number of the Lancas
ter Examiner & Herald intending to speak of the appraiser
of mercantile taxes, says, "Daniel W. May of the borough
of Manheim, has been appointed by the County Commis
sioners appraiser of mercantile axes for Lancaster county."

discontent against the government; though the troops of
the latter had gained numerous victories over the rebels in
various quarters.

our bringing certain facts concerning him, before the pub-
William Brewster & Samuel G. 11 atlaker.
The " facts," as you choose to call them, were the asser
tions that we are a Roman Catholic, a pardoned convict,
and now, that we have been gnilty of preventing the circu
lation of the Journal on the eve of the election. Do you
not know that all the assertions you have made in the col
umns of your paper against us are BASE LIES. " You tell
the lie, knowing it to be a lie, and intending it as a
On all these assertions we have branded you as wilful liars,
and as such you are known. We have given you every op
portunity to produce the proof, and you backed out. But
we now bind ourself to pay all expenses of a suit you may
bring,—or the expenses of a committee of investigation to
be selected by yourself—if you can produce the least evi
dence to justify you in making either of the above charges.
Will you accept our offer, and show a willingness to "back
up" your assertions—or will you lie on, and continue to
pray "for the kingdom to come." while you give to the
devil complete control of your blackened hearts and rotten
carcasses. Now, face the music, you base, drivelling cow
ards, or be assured, that you will be heartily sick of your
folly ere we have done with you.
EXPENSIVE ETIQUETTE.—It is estimated that the mission
of Earl Granville to Moscow as the Extraordinary Ambas
sador of England at the coronation of the Czar, will cost
the country from $125,000 to $175,000. The suite of the
Noble Earl includes nearly forty persons.

Where, when, and by whom? 'We arc authorized to
offer $lOO for any information that will lead to the convic
tion of any person guilty of "stopping the mails."
"PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISD:'—A Pittsburg paper cal
culates that the loss to Use merchants, manufacturers, me
chanics and marines of that city, since last June, by the
suspension of the river navigation, is not less than $1,500,-
000, and pertinently inquires, " what might have been
done with that much money, if applied to the improvement
of the Ohio river r,

noticed no less than five bitter Roman Catholics, including
Lewis, the editor of the Globe." •

leading Fremont man. What astonkhing " diskiveries"
the illegal voter can make sometimes
A STRANGE PARTNERSHIP.—At a ball, in Moscow, on the
evening after the coronation ceremonies, the Empress of
Russia danced with the Turkish Ambassador!
AZ-It is now generally believed that the " renal:my Cir
cular" issued by the Journal, was manufactured in that
office by the editors, as nobody else appears to know any
thing about it. That they would be guilty of such con
duct, and a little worse if necessary, no one man in this
community has a doubt.
.11Q-Gabe & Brewster don't appear to like the situations
we gave them on the boat "Fusion." They certainly could
not expect us to crowd them into decent company, by lift
ing them a. peg higher.
We have been informed that at least fifty "Ameri
cans" in Warriorsmark township, claim to have voted the
straight-out Fillmore ticket, while the returns give but 15
straight-out votes. In other townships the same com
plaints are made. Sonic of the honest politicians of the op
position have been obeying instructions from head quar
ters—to bring about a fusion.
.11EB-We have waited patiently for more than a week, and
still that suit promised to be brought against us, by the
forgers of the Journal, has not been commenced. hurry
it on, you cowardly scamps—we shall ask for no better op
portunity to convince the public of your true characters.
Huzza. for Freedom."—Tournal.
Pour thousood seven hundred and thirty-five votes were
cast in Huntingdon county at the last election—and but
nine hundred and twentg-six, df • that number were for
"Fremont and Freedom." 'Meat an obstinate people the
voters of Huntingdon county are! "Fremont, Freedom
and Bleeding Hansa s"—what a specious plea!' The vo
ters couldn't have believed half what the "Journal" told
them before the election. The people will be free—from

SINGULAIt DEATIL—The Cincinnati Commercial says that
a young dry goods clerk, named Wm. Houghton, in that
city, was bitten by a malignant spider, on Thursday morn
ing, from the effects of which he died before night.
"WArkun."—The "Angel," jr., of the "Journal" gave
the startling information last week that he had been lvay
laid. We shouldn't wonder. The information, however,
was not very definite as to when, where, and by whom, he
was waylaid, nor yet as to the nature and extent of the in
juries received by him. Well, we sympathise deeply with
the jr. Angel in this unfortunate occurrence, inasmuch as
it is only imaginary—the result of a disordered brain and
a wicked heart, to say nothing or the excessive vanity and
presumption which impel him to court a notice of some
kind from a man who would not soil his hands by touch
ing, nor demean himself by noticing such a scurrilous,
contemptible, and filthy puppy. The private citizen whom
he stigmatizes "n notorious scoundrel" is beyond the
reach of his scurrility. Before he undertakes to malign
respectable citizens let him turn his attention to the letter
of the Hon. A. W. BENCIUCT, which is upon record against
him—let him remove the just censures, and the strong, but
true charges it• contains, and then—he may hold up his
head I

Meeting of the Agricultural Society.
A meeting of the Huntingdon County Ag
ricultural Society was held at the Court House,
in Huntingdon, on Wednesday night, the
13th inst.
Judge McWilliams, President of the Soci
ety, took the chair ; and J. S. Barr, the Sec
retary being absent, Gideon Elias was ap
pointed Secretary pro. tem.
The annual Report of the President to the
State Agricultural Society was read, adopted,
and ordered to be published in the newspa
pers of this county.
llon. James Gwin, Treasurer of the Socie
ty, submitted his annual report, which was

On motion, the Committee appointed at a
former meeting to report on the subject of

through their chairman, T. 11. Cremer, Esq.
The report was unanimously adopted and or
dered to be printed.
Gen. Geo. W. Speer, chairman of the Com
mittee appointed to report upon the subject
of the Potato Rot, stated that he had prepa
red a report on that subject, but on account
of not having had time to submit it to the
other members of the committee to ascertain
whether it met with their approval, he decli
ned reading it for the present. At the re
quest of the meeting, Gen. Speer then gave
a synopsis of his report, verbally, which
evinced considerable research, and embraced
the results of numerous 'ciperiments ;- after
which a general discussion of the subject of
potato culture sprung up, in which Major
Sana'l Caldwell, Peter Stryker, 11. N. McAl
ister, Esq., Gen. Geo. IV. Speer, A. W. Ben

Report of President McWilliams.
STOVER'S PLACE, Nov. 7, 1856.
To the President of the Pennsylvania State
Agricultural Society :
Sin—ln compliance with the requirements
of an act passed. on the 20th day of March,
A. D. 1851, on behalf of the Huntingdon.
County Agricultural Society, I herewith trans
mit to you a brief report for the present year.
The officers named in our first report were
re-elected at our last annual meeting, and are
as follows, viz :
President—Jonathan WcWilliams, Stover's
Place.
Recording Secretaries—John S. Isett, Spruce
Creek, and James S. Barr, Huntingdon.
Corresponding Secretary—Dr. John Gem
mill, Alexandria.
7;•easurer—Hon. James G win, Huntingdon.
Librarian—Theo. 11. Cramer, Esq., Hun
tingdon.
Our Second Annual fair was held at Hun
tingdon on the Bth, 9th and 10th days of Oc
tober last.
The expediency of having a fair the pres
ent year was doubted by many ardent friends
of the good cause, on account of the unfavo
rable character of the early part of the sea
son. But the result so far exceeded our most
sanguine expectations, that it is now deemed
expedient, to invite in future, an annual ex
hibition of the result of the industry and in
genuity of the inhabitants of the county.
In many less favored parts of the world
the utmost ingenuity of philanthropy is se
verely taxed to devise material upon which
to em ploy the industry of suffering human
ity. And still more, to procure such a scant
remuneration as will keep soul and body to
gether until their destiny on earth is accom
plished.
But we are a more highly favored people.
A benevolent Providence has spread out be
fore us, almost a boundless, rich and diversi
fied region, with a soil and climate capable,
under the hand of industry, of raising all the
products originally planted by the hand of
the Creator upon the Earth, which are essen
tial to healthy and comfortable life.
But with us, the oldest and best cultivated
perts of our country are susceptible of such
improvements under the hand of industry as
to sustain more than quadruple its present
inhabitant:.
And in order to realize such results, we
have only to render labor respectable, by con
necting it with science and intelligence, to
which, our State and County agricultural so
cieties and fairs are so largely contributing.
It is deemed unnecessary to give a detailed
report of the Judges on premiums. But
some special notice should be taken of domes
tic manufactures, the amount of which was
so great that it was not possible for the Judges
in that department to do justice to their own
feelings. .And we would respectfully recom
mend, that in future, that department be so
divided that at least three sets of Judges may
be ' employed, and also that power to award
discretionary premiums be enlarged.
JONA. McWILLIAMS,
President.
Penmanship
It is always a matter of gratification to us,
to be able to lay before our readers, any use
ful information, or inform them where it may
be obtained ; but especially is this the case,
when the means of such information has been
brought into our midst. It is well known
that every man's object is business, and that
his ultimate• success will -be just in propor
tion to his degree of that information which
is so peculiarly adapted and essential to good.
success in any business. We say, then, to
all who would be ultimately successful in bu
siness, you should, at your earliest opportu
nity, enter Pollock's Commercial School ; see
his advertisement in another column. Mr.
Pollock is an enterprising man, and is spar
ing no pains to make his School worthy of
patronage ; he has fitted a commodious room
40 by 45, for Lectures and Book-keeping, and
also one for a Ladies' writing room. Prof.
Morrison, of Pittsburgh, conducts that de
partment, and we are frep to say, with a great
er degree of efficiency, than has ever before
been done here. Mr. Morrison has received
the highest commendations, from both pen
and press, as a Teacher and Gentleman.—
The subjoined preamble and resolutions are
from one of his classes in Monongahela City :
SCHOOL ROOM', No. 3,
June 28, 1856.
Whereas: The term of Mr. Morrison's
School for penmanship has transpired, and
his scholars deem it due their teacher as well
as themselves, to offer an expression of their
high appreciation of his capacity as a teach
er of Penmanship, and character as a gen
tleman. Therefore,
Resolved, That we regard his system, as
one perfect in all its outlines, and admirably
calculated to ensure speedily a graceful com
mand of hand, and consider that as a teach
er of the Art of Writing, Prof. Mc,rrison has
not an equal.
Resolved, That in closing, 'we would ex
press our regard for his assiduous attention
and gentlemanly deportment, during our en
tire intercourse, thereby endearing himself
to us, not only as a teacher, but as a friend,
and do most cordially commend him to the
patronage of our town and vicinity. Signed
by the pupils.

Mr. Buchanan's Policy
Speculation is already rife as to the proba
ble policy of Mr. Buchanan. Those who are
curious in regard to this matter will proba
bly find as much reliable information in his
letter of acceptance of the Democratic nomi
nation as they can obtain from any other
source. The letter will be read with new in
terest since his election, and. we feel certain
that every candid reader will feel sure that
the destinies of the country are in safe hands
for the nest four years to come. It is as fol
lows :
In accepting the nomination, I need scarce
ly say that I accept in the same spirit, the
resolutions constituting the platform of prin
ciples erected by the Convention. To this
platform I intend to confine myself through
out the canvass, believing that I have no right,
as the candidate of the Deniocratic party, by
answering interrogatories, to present new and
different issues before the people.
It will not be expected that in this answer,
I should specially refer to the subject of each
of the resolutions ; and I shall therefore con
fine myself to the two topics now most prom
inently before the people.
And in the first place I cordially concur in
the sentiments expressed by the Convention
on the subject of civil and religion liberty.
No party founded ou religious or political in-,
tolerance towards one class of American cit
izens, whether born in our own or in a for
eign land, can continue to exist in this coun
try. We are all equal before God and the
Constitution ; and the dark spirit of despo
tism and bigotry which would create odious
distinctions among our fellow citizens, will
be speedily rebuked by a free and enlighten
ed public opinion.
The agitation on the question of domestic
Slavery has too long distracted and divided
the people of this Union, and alienated their
affections from each other. This agitation
has assumed many forms since its commence
ment, but it nowseems directed chiefly against
the Territories, judging from its present char
acter, we safely anticipate that it is rapidly
approaching a "finality." The recent legis
lation of Congress respecting domestic Slave
ry, derived, as it has been, from the original
and pure foundation of legitimate political
power, the will of the majority, promises ere
long, to allay the dangerous excitement.—
This legislation is founded upon principles
as ancient as free government itself, and in
accordance with them, has simply declared
that the people of a Territory, like those of
State, shall decide for themselves, whether
Slavery shall or shall not exist within their
limits.
The Nebraska Kansas Act does no more
than give the force of law to this elementary
principle of self-government ; declaring it to
be ''.the true intent and meaning of this act
not to legislate slavery into any. Territory or
State, nor to exclude it. therefrom ; but to
leave the people thereof perfectly free to form
and regulate their domestic institutions in
their own way, subject only to the Constitu
tion of the United States, This principle
will surely not be converted by individuals
of any party professing devotion to popular
government. Besides, how vain and illusory
would any other principle prove in practice
in regard to the Territories I This is appa
rent from the fact admitted by all, that after
a Territory shall have entered the Union and
become a State, no Constitutional power
would then exist which could prevent it from
either abolishing or establishing slavery, as
the case may be, according to its sovereign
will and pleasure.
Most happy would it be for the country if
this long agitation were at an end. During
its whole progress it has produced no practi
cal good to any human being, whilst it has
been the source of great and dangerous - evils.
It has alienated and estranged one portion of
the Union from the other, and has even seri
ously threatened its very existence. To my
own personal knowledge, it has produced the
impression among foreign nations that our
great and glorious confederacy is in constant
danger of dissolution. This does us serious
injury, because acknowledged power and sta
bility always command respect among
.na
tions, and are among the best securities against
unjust aggression, and in favor of the main
tenance of honorable peace.
May we not hope that it is the mission of
the Democratic party, now the only surviving
conservative party of the country; ere long
to overthrow all sectional parties and restore
the peace, friendship and. mutual confidence
which prevailed in the good old time, among
the different members of the confederacy.—
Its character is strictly national, and it there
fore asserts no principle fog the guidance of
Eleanor N. Goucher,
the Feddral G,overnment which is not adopted
and sustained by ifq Members in each and
every State. For this reason it is everywhere
the same determined foe to all geographical
parties, so much and so justly dreaded by the
Father of his Country. From its very na
ture, it must continue to exist so long as there
is a Constitution and a Union to preserve.—
A. conviction of these truths has induced ma
ny of the purest, the ablest and most inde
pendent of our former opponents, who have
differed from us in times gone by upon old
and extinct party issues, to come into our
ranks and devote themselves with us,lo the
cause of the Constitution and the Union.—
Under these circumstances, I most cheerfully
pledge myself, should the nomination of the
Convention be ratified by the people, that all
the power and influence, constitutionally pos
sessed by the Executive, shall be exerted, in
a firm but conciliatory spirit, during the sin
gle term I shall remain in office, to restore
the same harmony among the sister States
which prevailed before this apple of discord,
in the form of slavery agitation, had been
cast into their midst. Let the members of
the family abstain from intermeddling with
the exclusive domestic concerns of each other
and cordially unite, on the basis of perfect
equality among themselves, in promoting the
great national objects of common interest to
all, and the good work will be instantly ac
complished.
In regard to our foreign policy, to which
you have referred in your communication, it
is quite impossible for any human foreknowl
edge to prescribe positive rules in advance,
to regulate the conduct of a future adminis
tration in all the exigencies which may arise
our various and ever-changing relations with
foreign powers. The Federal Government
must of necessity exercise a sound discretion
in dealing with international questions as
they may occur ; but this under the strict res
ponsibility which the Executive must always
feel to the people . of the United States and
the judgment of posterity. You will there
fore excuse me for not entering into particu
lars ; whilst I heartily concur with you in the
general sentiment, that our foreign affairs
ought to be conducted with such wisdom and
firmness as to assure the prosperity of the
people at home, whilst the interests and hon
or of our country are wisely but inflexibly
maintained abroad. Our foreign policy ought
ever to be based upon the principle of doing
justico to all nations, and requiring justice
from them in return; and from this principle
I shall never depart.
Should I be placed in the Executive Chair,
I shall use -my best exertions to cultivate
peace and friendship with all nations, believ
ing this to be our highest policy, as well as
our most imperative duty ; but at the same
time, I shall never forget that in case the ne
cessity should arise, which I do not appre
hend, our national rights and national honor
must be preserved at all hazards and at any
sacrifice.
Firmly convinced that a special Providence
governs the affairs of nations, let us humbly
implore His continued blessing upon our
country, and that He may avert from us the
punishment we justly deserve for being dis
contented and ungrateful whilst enjoying
privileges- above all nations, under such a
Constitution and such a Union as has never
been vouchsafed to any other people.
Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

B:►xs FAILURE.—The report of the failure
of the Lancaster Bank a few days ago caused
considerable excitement in town. There is
a large quantity of its paper in circulation in
this region.
A BUNDLE OF ELOPEMENTS.—The Buffalo
Express gives the following chapter on do
mestic difficulties: Mrs. King, near Kings
ton, was recently taken sick, and her hus
band seized the opportunity to elope with a
handsome servant girl named Martin. On
their arrival in Albany, Miss Martin eloped
with a young man named Cornelius, taking
Mr. King's money. King being penitent,
returned home and found that his wife had
eloped with a dry goods clerk named Jeffers,
with all the moveable articles in the house.
Whereupon King started off in pursuit, con
sidering himself a deeply injured man.
Garrison's Lament.
War. LLOYD GARRISON, known to fame as
the leading Abolition Black Republican edi
tor of Yankee land, announces the result of
the Presidential election in a style peculiarly
his own. It is needless to say that he is
wrong in every assertion except one—that
BUCHANAN is elected:
From Garrison's Liberator
The election has resulted in accordance
with our unwaverinc , convictions from the be
ginning—in the defeat e ' of the north and the
triumph of the south—in the complete supre
macy of filibustering. Ostend border-ruffian
democracy, and the continued rule of the
slave power, with every barrier of freedom
overthrown, and all constitutional rights trod
den in the dust. " Hung be the heavens
with the black." James Buchanan is un
questionably elected President of the United
States by the popular vote.
ger-The Fremonters have been celebrating
their defeat in New York, on which occasion
the pretty Mr. George W. Curtiss made a
speech, concluding with some lines of poetry,
wherein Mr. Fremont is advised to put on a
shirt! Poor fellow, we hope he will, if lra
can get one, for the season is becoming cold.
Mr. Curtiss asks him to "arise" before he
puts on his shirt, which, of course, he will
do, for he can't run himself into it, very well,
while lying on his bed. We suppose, how
ever, he has not felt like sitting up since the
election; Here is Mr. Curtiss's poetry
"Arise, Fremont! and go before;
The hour must hare its man—
Put on the hunting shirt once more
And lead in Freedom's van."
The New York Post says—" Mr. Curtiss
took his seat amid the most enthusiastic ap
plause." We don't wonder the audience
was pleased sewn 1e sat down."
