Poor Robert the Scribe.
We can scarcely justify ourself, in decend
ingunce more, to notice the idle scribbling
of this self-conceited, arrogant' pedagogue.—
Vainly striving to write himself into notori
ety, he again assails and spits his venom at
persons, Who occupy positions in society, in
finitely higher than the one in which he grov
els, The language of his two communica
tions, inserted in the Huntingdon American
and ;Tuornal, characterize and point out aman
worthy of our contempt.
Robert takes care to proclaim, as we are to
understand from his intimations, that he is a
eh:Hs - Ilan. The following extracts from his
last ranting, we publish for his own benefit,
to illustrate how carefully he adheies to the
Bible injunctions:—" Do unto others as ye
would that they should do unto thee."—
"Judge not that ye be not judged."
"The nominal editor of the Globe, who, though unable
himself to write an advertisement for a stray dog without,
help, has succeeded in mustering a bevy of Lirals and black
guards, for the purpose of writing me down.".
We are inclined to doubt his opinion of our
ability to write advertisements. Let us try :
STRAYED from his keepers, on Mon
day the 4th day of May last, a small brown cur, hav
ing pretty long hair, and remarkable for surliness, bark
ing and snapping. He answers to the name of Bob.—
When last seen he was etanding in front of a bow-window
admiring what he has failed to.induce any body else to ad
mire. Whoever returns said cur will be rewatded with
two pints of pigeon milk, well churned in a cat's horn.
Speaking of a certain assertion of the Globe,
he says:
"It bears a LIE on its face."
" Who is circulating a wilful LIE to injure his neighbor 1"
a I was not fully aware that there was anything ••rotten
in Denmark," until I saw the announcement in the Globe,
heralding it as a Democratic victory, [you consummate
prevaricator!] and exulting over my defeat, publishing at
the same time, a wilful LIE. concerning me, and intended to
injure me."
"The assertion that I am an office-seeker, is false, and
the man who makes it tics."
The following extract from the proceedings
of the Whig County Convention, published
in the Journal, August 16th, 1854, may serve
to refresh Robert's recollections :
"The convention then proceeded to nominate a candi
date fur Register '8; Recorder, as follows :
16t. 2nd. 3rd 4th.

"T now pronounce the statements concerning 111 C in the
Globe, to be a tissue of wilful and malicious falsehoods,
and their author a base and unprincipled unit."
Speaking of a Communicant of the Globe,
he says: "That he is a root. maybe seen from
his style; and it is equally apparent that he
is a LIAR and a BLACKGUARD."
How a pretending christian like Robert,
can reconcile his abusive epithets of liar and
blackguard so plentifully interspersed in this
last communication, with his loud profes
sions, we cannot divine, and little do we
We would say to him:
care.
" Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam
out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou
see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
brother's eye."
I:tar-.TILE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENCY.—We
have received several communications from
different parts of the county, in reply to the
scurrilous articles in the American. and Jour
nal of last week. The attacks made upon
the County Superintendent, by ambitious po
litical aspirants, and newspaper scribblers,
have been low, vulgar, mean and false ; and
it is satisfaction enough for the friends of
Mr. Owen and the School System, to know
that they have met with their reward in the
merited condemnation of the people, and the
vindication and triumphant election of Mr.
Owen. From all parts of the county, from
men of all parties and all creeds, we hear of
the delight and satisfaction with which the
news of Mr. Owens' election was received,
and the indignation and contempt with which
they witnessed the mean and unmanly at
tacks upon that gentleman. Hence, we can
see no use in longer parleying with such
enemies. They having ignored all preten
sions to honor, honesty and truth, nothing is
to be gained in a controversy with them,
without using their own weapons and wallow
ing in their own mire, and to thus prostitute
the columns of The Globe, we respectfully
decline.
The communications of "Friday," "Citi
zen" and " Truth," might be published on
the plea of "justification," but we prefer in
serting them in the stove, which is done.—
The last, " Clive," will be found in another
column. -
Death of Bon. A. P. Butler.
The Ron. A. P. Bumnu, U. S. Senator from
South Carolina, died at his residence in that
State, on Monday, 25th ult., in the sisty-sec
ond year of age. The following is an ex
trad'from an obituary tribute in the Charles
ton Courier:
" The
,Palmetto State will weep for him,
with - a mother's grief for a beloved, a faith
ful, an honored and an honoring son—the
nation will mourn him as one of the brightest
of her Senatorial jewels, and one of the best
and wisest of her patriot statesnen. Honor
to his memory, embalmed in the hearts of his
sorrowing fellow-citizens—peace to his ashes,
as the clods of the valley shall lie sweet about
them."

& Brothers, Lewisburg; The Farmers' Your
nal, by John Robins, .111ilton ; The Advance,

titles of three new papers recently establish
ed in - the eastern part of this State.
The Policy of Black Republicanism.
The Black Republican party, says the
Pennsylvanian, is necessarily a hypocritical
organization. It dare not avow its real aims'
and. purposes, nor frankly proclaim to the
American people its ulterior projects.
pioneers, the avowed ultra-Abolitionists, who
form its advanced guard, alone proclaim
those sentiments of undying hatred to
. the .
Union and the Constitution, which in reality
form the active principle of Black Republi
canism. . The GAarttsoNs and PHILIPSES and
PARKERS are sent forward as the forlorn
hope which is to storm the citadel of consti
tutional affection and fidelity, and to open
up a path through which the Black Republi
can army may force its way with compara
tive safety, into a sacked and ruined nation
al confederacy. It is the business of the
ultra-Abolitionists to.first break dovin all the
outposts of reverence, and affection for the
cherished institutions of the country which
constitute the bulwarks of the nation. The
vital existence of the Union is to be found in
the breasts of the American people, in' their
sentiments of fraternal regard for each other,
in their reverence for the founders of the
National Government, in their attachment to
the Constitution, in their obedience to the
national laws, in their unalterable determi
nation to cherish and perpetuate the senti
ment that " the Federal Union must and
shall be preserved." The whole mental force
of Abolitionism has always been boldly and
undisg,uisedly arrayed against every nation
al feeling and against every link in the
chain ,which binds the Union together.—
Every sentiment which hallows it in the
hearts of the American people,' has been
rudely assailed. EVery remembrance and
association calculated to tighten the bonds
of union has been ridiculed and denounced.
The fame and memory of the sages and he
roes of the Revolution have been outrageously
vilified. The deadliest . foreign foes of our
Nation could not evince greater bitterness
and more unmitigated violence, in assailing
our institutions and all that should be dear
to every patriot, than is displayed by the
Abolitionists. Practically, they are formed
into a perpetual army of attack against A meri
can institutions, and every possible occasion
that presents itself is seized by them to dis
charge their volleys of treasonable declama
tion against their country.
Of late years, Black Republicanism has
become greatly emboldened, and although it
still keeps considerably in the rear 'of its
forlorn hope of Abolitionism, in the march of
infamy, it year by year approximates in
virulence -with undisguised Abolitionism.—
Its mad ravings of the last Presidential cam
paign, have been followed up by a systematic
attack upon the Supreme Court of the
United States, characterized by an extreme
degree of malicious misrepresentation and
undisguised bitterness. Its inbred sentiment
of hostility to the Constitution itself, has
found vent under the pretext of assailing the
interpretation of it by the legally constituted
authorities, who alone are authorized to in
terpret it. The avowed difference between
' Abolitionism and' Black Republicanism is,
that the former boldly assails the Constitu
tion itself, -while the latter, animated by the
same spirit of disloyalty, but less courageous
in its expression; seeks to render its assaults
more effective by professing lip service for
the Constitution, but rudely assailing its le
gal interpretation. PractiCally, -their posi
tion is identical.

2- : From the Harrisburg Patriot & Union
The Land of Eden Discovered..
Our literary- friend, MAX. ' GREENE, who
contemplation ; antemplation-the publication of the
•
- .
a
Pennsvlvtinia .21tagazinen,his'Place, , has re
cently been turning his attention to. a -ques
tion, the solution of which has defied the re
searches of the learned for many ages—we
mean the geographical position of the Land
of Eden. MAX. has boldly struck upon a
new theory—one which will astonish if ,it
does not satisfy our readers—and we submit
to their perusal with -pleasure, the following
extract from a lecture recently delivered by
him. - He has been kind enough to famish
the extract, and we commend it to all who
are curious as to the locality of our first
parents.
In the course of his lecture on Kansas,
delivered in the Hall of Representatives, on
the evening of the 25th ult., MAX. GREENE
remarked :
The South Park is the westernmost and
great mountain valley of Kanzas. We stand
here in an unrivalled region. Beautiful open
glades, verdant meadows, picturesque clumps
of pine, cottonwood, walnut and quaking
asp • and pretty level prairies, diversified
with steep hills, and stocked with deer, elk
and bison, and bordered with dense forests,
axe enclosed by a circumvallant mountainous
range, crested with rocky peaks. •
This natural park is a large circular val
ley, thirty miles across. It is a curious
birth-place of rivers. Here we find inter
locked, the head streams of four of the giant
rivers of the continent. The' Arkansas rises
here, and flows in a southeasterly direction,
fourteen hundred miles, into the Mississippi.
The South Pork of the Platte starts here,
and running first to the north and then east
erly, a thousand miles, empties into the Mis
souri. The Garita of the Rio Grande rises
here,. and flowing due south, along the bor
ders of Texas, empties into the Gulf of
Mexico. Also, several affluents of the Colo
rado of the west have their head-springs in
this valley—a river which flows eighteen
hundred miles, through the land of mystery
and gems, then empties, through the Gulf of
California, into the Pacific Ocean.
This South Park is the only valley in the
world, which with its four rivers, and in
other respects, answers to the sacred gebgra
phy of the Land of Eden. I do not assert
my conviction that this was the garden-home
of our first parents; neither do I care to
startle others with what sounds new and
strange. But the topographical resemblance
between the Eden in the Bible and this
place, has irresistibly forced itself upon me.
According to the Hebrew Scriptures, our
first parents were placed in a garden in the
Land of Eden. But where was Eden? The
manifold resources of philosophy, literature
and historical research, have failed to an
swer this question. Roland and Calmet as
-sume its locality to have been 'in the moun
tainous region of Armenia, among the head
waters of the Tigris and Araxes. Treating
of this subject in An Ilislorical Geography
of the Bible; 'Rev.Lyman Coleman says . : _
. _
"The learned have brought to this investi
gation; the aid 'of the most recent discoVeries
of eastern missionaries and travellers:; and
after the widest range of inquiry, have only
returned with some elaborate theory or fan
ciful conjecture."
The geographical position of Eden as de
fined by Moses, is involved in great obScuri
ty; and yet it evidently was intended to de
scribe the country by landmarks then fa
miliarly known. Four rivers proceedelfrom
this region;
- one of which encompaSses the
Land of llavilah, where was found "fine
gold and precious stones"—which answers
to the des'cription of the Colorado_ of
west. Two other rivers bearing the name
of Ilavilah, are mentioned in Genesis, but
'each is evidently' distinct from this, which is
now totally unknown. Another of the •four
rivers was named Euphrates: but, it is•now
incontestibly settled, that the Garden of
Eden could have been nowhere, on the banks
of the river in Asia, which has borne this
name for ages. The Bible plainly says, that
the rivers of Paradise arose from one source,
and flowing out of one garden, divided into
four' great rivers, running in different direc
tions. Nowhere else but the South Park
of Kansas is such a thing known on earth.
BLACK REPUBLICANISM ALWAYS THE SAME.
—The adjournment of the Black Republican
Legislature of New York is, the occasion of
the following remarks in the Albany Atlas
and Argus. They cannot be too carefully
read or too extensively circulated: •
" The Black Republicans commenced with
an overwhelming majority. They passed
800 laws. They emptied the treasury. They
a:nticipated its resources for years to come.—
They sanctioned hundreds of illegitimate
claims. They overrode the vetoes of their
own chief magistrate. They rejected his
nominations. They assailed the constitution
1 - of the United States and of the State ; declar
ed defiance of the Courts, and overturned the
charters of the chief cities. They reversed
the rules of the common and commercial law,
and unsettled every vested right in the State.
'While doing this; they cried 'liberty, liberty,
liberty—the negro, the negro, the negro!'—
But they passed no liberty bill. They tossed
the measure from house to house, and aban
doned. it. They voted for vaporizing resolu
tions • but the lover of liberty will look in
vain ihrough the immense statute book of the
year for a single word in protection of human
rights. He will find nothing but acts of spoli
ation and disorganization. Black Republi
canism is the same • every where—corrupt,
laypocritie, impudent and false."
TICE NEW YORK HERALD AND THE 'RE
PUBLICAN PARTY.—Last fall the New York
Herald labored zealously to bring the Repub
lican party into power. But the corruption
of that party has disgusted even the Herald,
which gives utterance to the following, no
doubt well-considered opinion:
"One praise is certainly due to the Repub
licans of this State. They are without ques
tion the most corrupt set of politicans we over
had. We had a good many corrupt parties
and party leaders in this State; but a - party
so ready to sacrifice every consideration of
public welfare and abstract justice to private
gain as these Republicans, we never had be
fore, and we do most earnestly hope we shall
never have again."

CONIIVIUNICATION.
T'ó Robert :
You have again favored the readers of the
AmeriCan and Journal with an exhibition of
.- yourself, and T,-;bave the gratification of see
ing you in (Our true colors. Both your let
ters ay.: pow before and I will help you
to v , tna'7',', -4 , vr cause. You complain of
my style, ; '.'!g 'must abide - that, for lam
I , 4gr
a plain mani, ng plain truths, which
need no Billingsgate to give them force. The
severity of truth is a sufficient antidote to de
pravity, and you will find it striking a flame
to your guilt long after your passions have
subsided. Besides, sir, having never thrust
myself upon the public as a candidate for
office, a disappointed ambition does not drive
me to the mad folly of showing the readers
of Billingsgate that I am my own worst en
emy. •
You repeat your former charges, but why
do you not prove them ? For me to show the
falsehoods of your ribaldry, were merely to
inform the public what they already know.
Will you not name the directors that you
thus libel and abuse ? Yourself, Robert, is
the author of the remark that you so meanly
charge upon others; and you uttered it under
a disturbed imagination ; it was the melan
choly madness of hatred blistering on the
forehead of revenge. You claim that every
sniveller has a right to be a candidate for
office. You are right, and every elector has
a right to make his own choice—to examine
the qualifications of each and. to condemn
every whimpering sniveller. You " were
weighed in the balance and found wanting."
And then consistent with yourself, you tra
duce and falsely libel directors!
You say you made no false promises to di
rectors. You rode through the county, and
you appealed to our sympathy. You boasted
to your friends that you and your conspira
tors were making•a political ,thing of the elec
tion; and we wrote " lehabod" upon your
folly. You have not informed us how many
free dinners it cost you nor how many votes
free dinners bought. Nay, even further, you
stooped so far as to court the favor of that
filthy and detestable J. S. Barr, which is
lower than any one bit yourself could stoop.
Your last letter made no very pointed re
ply. Its author, his moral and religious qual
ities, his familiarity with Billingsgate, Loy
ola, Tom Paine, and the five points ; all are
there; and the reader can see for himself bet
ter than I can tell him. lam unacquainted
with them and you must excuse me for a very
little notice of them. Your familiarity with
them gives you a decided advantage, for you
really seem to have studied a good many
Small' authors with yellow covers such as
clerks in confectionaries and that craft can
admire. However familiar, Robert, I hope
you will in future keep clear from the style of
the former and the vices of the latter. They
will operate like age bringing on disease be
fore its due time, and finally leave your fac
ulties broken and exhausted.
You use many vulgar epithets in your last
letter, such as originate in dens where re
spectability never enters. You must allow
Me to pass them by even at the expense of
your style. This chaste and popular journal
shall only notice the author without his lan
o•uacre
r, •
You call me a hypocrite. Is it because I
do not hunt the highest seat in the church
and look straight down my noklike a snivel
ling friend of mine? You call me a coward.
Is it because I refuse my name to the students
of Loyola, Paine, and Billingsgate ? You
threw down your challenge at the feet of a
multitude, and expected to gain some notori
ety. My name shall add nothing to the lau
rels of yours.
Deal then with the facts, Robert: let names
he no sign of true courage, among bad asso
ciates. But I cannot undertake to teach you
consistency, the task were too great. Your
inconsistencies exposed in their naked ugli
ness, will enable you in the future, to make
a negative example of the past. Let me per
suade you then to take my advice: " Shun
bad company. Tell no tales that you do not
yourself believe." Cease your libels upon
school directors : and when again you in
trude yourself upon the public, , and invite
attention to your religion, try to exhibit those
virtues that are above the lying piety of a

A BUCK-HOWL.; CHAIR FOR THE PRESIDENT.
—The editor of the San Francisco Herald has
seen a great curiosity in the shape of a chair
made entirely of elk antlers, and designed as
a present to James Buchanan, President of
the United States. It was made in the north
ern part of Humboldt county, California, by
Seth Kinman, a hunter, who has arrived with
it in San Francisco, en route for Washington.
It is mainly composed of four massive buck
horns, with the antlers branching as appro
priately as if the whole affair were the - work
of a carver. The two largest horns compose
the hind legs and back, and they incline back
-Wards gracefully at the top and meet togeth
er so as to form an arch.
"It is a great misfortime,". says La
Bruycre, " not to kayo mind enough to talk
well, nor judgment enough to be silent."
United we Stand---Divided we Pall.
This trite aphorism, though so long and so
frequently repeated, has lost nothing of its
wisdom and. force. • his the same truth taught
by the fable of the bundle of sticks, which,
whilst bound together, the strength of a giant
could neither break nor bend them, yet, when
unbound and taken separately, the efforts of
a child were sufficient to snap each one.
Whilst the States of the Union .
. remain
bound together by the strong bond of the con.;
stitution—by the sympathy of common inter
ests, common wants, and common dangers—
by the memories of the past and the hopes' of
the future—no power on earth can succeigS
fully assail them or materially damage.theine
It is equally true of the democratic party.—
All the experience of the past goes to prove
that as long as it remains united—as long as
its members act in concert and are goterfied
by the same principles—they are always sue:
cessful; always' invincible: It is only by di:
visions, jealousies, bickerings, and misunder
standings amongst themselves, that they lose
their party strength, and are beaten by their
enemies. The identity of the principles of
the democracy, and at the same time their
justice and fitness, constitute their strength
and as long as the party acts harmoniously
upon these principles; standing up boldly and
manfully to the issues and Measures which
grow out of them, victory crowns their efforts
and success follows their banner wherever it
is unfurled.
Seeing that these things are so—and that
they are so our entire political history proves
to be true—=how is it that we frequently see
restless and ambitious men of our party re
belling against its Usages, resisting its rea
sonable mandates and requirements; and dis-i•
tracting and dividing it by their complaints;
or impatience for their own promotion?--:
Eternal fault-finders and croakers are they.
if every whim and 'caprice is not gratified,
they denounce and abuse their friends, and
endeavor to render others as much dissatis
fied as themselves. Their clamors are un
reasonable as their imaginary griefs. • And
thus it happens that the rasping complaints
of sonic disappointed aspirant, of some one
who runs before he is called, some sore-head,
whose aspirations and self-love never can be
satisfied, have just influence enough to dis
tract our friends, and, in local contests where
the strength of parties is nearly equal to de
feat us by division and want of harmony.—
Then there are extremists who never can be
made to coincide fairly with their political
associates. They are always a little ahead
or alittle behind the policy of their party ;
and no persuasion or argument can change
or satisfy their discontents. Such men are a
disadvantage to any organization. By their
impracticability and obstinacy they bring
trouble upon their friends and discredit upon
their cause. They forget that no man can
reasonably carry out his extreme opinions.—
They forget that in all associations of men,
for - whatever purpose, if they would be har
monious and successful, there must be a spirit
of conciliation and compromise. Government
is a compromise. The constitution is a com
promise. And even party organizations pro
ceed upon the same principles of surrender
ing some little for the purpose of securing a
great deal—of submitting to be bound up
with the bundle of sticks in order to become
strong and irresistable.
We make these observations because we
have seen and felt the manifold curses of a.
divided party, in particular localities, and
the damaging effects of an obstinate spirit of
resistance to the usages of the democracy.—
We make them, also, because we desire to ar
rest the attention of our party friends, and
1 to cause them to reflect upon the vital impor
tance of unity of counsel and unity of action.
Let them illustrate the -maxim, as politic-as
it is true, "Everything for the cause—nothing
for men." We make them, also, because wo
have seen examples of this unyielding spirit
and obstinate persistanee in a factious course,
where harmony and unity would insure suc
cess, and stubborn pertinacity must certainly
bring defeat. This ought not to be so ; and
the party should ever deal summarily with
men who, to accomplish their own mere per
sonal advancement, would distract, divide,
and defeat their political friends.
Never had the democratic party stronger
claims to the confidence of the country than
at the present time. Their success in No
y,ember last was a triuniph of principle ; has
lemonstrated their -nationality, and the con
servatism of their measures and their - policy
of the country. The opposite policy his been
totally repudiated by the people. United
States Banks, tariff's 'for protection, internal
improvements by the general government,
and the distribution of the proceeds of the
sales of the public lands amongst the several
States, have become obsolete ideas, and are
ho longer the issues or the measures of a par
ty. It is true, however, that at this moment
distribution has been resurrected for the oc
casion, and its skeleton form again dressed
in the gaudy garments of selfishness and
hope's of profit. Appeals are now being
made to the people of Virginia, who being for
the moment under the pressure of high tax
es, the hope is indulged, that sonic may be
incautious enough to be caught by the delu
sive bribe offered to their hopes, and thus be
made lo desert their colors and go over to the
enemy. The same thing is being done in
Tennessee and Kentucky. But let the democ
racy remember that this doctrine of distribu
tion is wrong in principle and wrong in poli
cy. It is at best a 'cheat and a delusion.—
Let them beware, lest it divide and defeat
them. Let them remember that "united they
stand—divided they fall."— Wash. Union.
A GRAND EXPOSE!—MT John Ilausman ,
editor of the Washington Tribune, threatens
to become a "terror to evil doers." In his
last issue he says, that, before many days he
will lay before his readers "a series of the,
most atrocious and diabolical deeds of villany
ever perpetrated in any, commueity since
society was first ordained."
He then goes on, as follows:
"We feel it to be a great undertaking,—
one that requires more than ordinary nerve,
—hat there is a towering villany in our midst
that must and shall be 'overthrown; though,
like Sampson, we perish ourself in its ruins."
Read still further:—
„Conspiracies, dark, damnable and bloody,
will be our theme; and scoundrels, cool, cal
culating, and cunning, will be our game and
the sport of our pencil.”
He then gives notice that he will "open
three Seals," the first of which "will develop
an infamous betrayal of confidence, a prosti
tution of an lumorable profession, the acts
and fruits of an unrestrained adultery, a se
ries of crimes too revolting to be told, a con
spiracy to take life, and the commission of a
species of murder itself."
The above is only the preface to the forth
coming work. What may we not expect in.
the work itself?
