EscounAcum—We have lately added to
our list a handsome number of advance pay
ing subscribers. This is encouraging when
we take into consideration the tightness of
the times. We - have room for a few more
of the-same' sort, to take the place of those
the tightness of tho times compel us to strike
from our list.
- ON: TUE INCREASE.-WC notice by our ex
changes that rowdyism is fearfully on the
increase in almost every town in the State.
Huntingdon is not an exception—and unless
parents take the proper step in time to re
form their boys, the county will have to pay
boarding for some of them, and that before
long, at the Pittsburg institute.
J. SIPMSON ArnlcA.—lt will be gratifying
to the numerous friends of this gentleman in
`Old Huntingdon' and out of it, to learn that
he has been honored with a respectable posi
tion in the State Senate. If we are not
greatly mistaken in our estimate of his qual
ifications, the Senators will discover before
the end of the session that Mr. A., with a
little practice, would be fully competent to
fill any Clerkship in their gift.
We are pleased that our friend Dr.
Isaac Clughsob, of Shirleysburg, has been
honored with a post in the house of Repre
sentatives. He deserved something better,
and we hope his claims may be more favora
bly considered by the Democratic members.
We notice that most of the publishers
of papers in this State are bringing their bu
siness down to the cash system. They have
come to the Conclusion that "a bird in the
hand is wOrth two in the bush,"—that it will
pay better.to do business with five hundred
regular advance paying patrons, than with a
thousand; the . pay from one half being uncer
tain. We hope to induce all our patrons to
pay in ad.vance for the Globe, advertising and
job Work as far as possible, but if not in ad
vance, in a reasonble time thereafter.
TuE PRESS.—The Shirleysburg Heraldhas
been revived by Mr. John Lutz, as editor,
and Benj. Lutz, assistant editor. If it can
live and put-money in the pockets of the en
terprizing, publishers; they will deserve the
plaudits of their many friends.
A. new Democratic paper to be called the
Patriot, `is to be commenced in Bellefonte
early in March next, by Benj. R. Hall, Esq.,
Practicala 'printer, and of considerable ex
perience as an editor:
The ..Germantmen Telegraph comes to us
this Week a beautiful dress of new typo.—
P. R; Freas; Esq., an old acquaintance, is
one of the most industrious editors and pub
lishers in the State. - The Telegraph is in its
twenty-eighth year, and was established by
Mr. Freas, and is the - best agricultural family
paper published in the State:
The Country
.Gentleman, a journal for the
farm, the:garden, and the fireside, published
at Albany, N. Y., has just entered upon its
eleventh year. • It is a valuable publication.
Specimen number can be seen at our office.
Published weekly at $2 per year in advance.
The Juniata Register came to us last week
in an entire new dress. It is now published
and edited by Greer & Allison. The most
striking improvement in the paper, however,
is the total disappear4nce of patent medicine
advertisements from its columns.
,'The opposition to the manifestly only
just proposition of submitting the Constitu
tion of Kansas to the people, has led to some
discussion as to what has been the usual
course adopted in the different States of the
Union in respect to their constitutions.
Tnrsay-oNc States have had their constitu
tions submitted to the people.
The reformed Constitution of the State of
Pennsylvania was submitted to the people in
OctOber, of 1838, and was adopted by a deci
ded vote: By that instrument it is provided
that any future amendment of the Constitu
tiOn must first be adopted by two successive
Legislatures, and then submitted to a popu
lar vote at a subsequent election; and if this
vote approves the amendments, they . shall be
incorporated
: with the Constitution. The
principle that a tadjority of the people shall
control, now contende.d against by a portion
of our countrymen, in the case of Kansas, is
the most sacred element of our political sys
tem, without which we should be the prey of
misrule and anarchy in every State of the
Union.
ter The inaugUration of Gov. Packer will
take place on Tuesday next, the 19th inst.—
It is expected that an immense crowd of peo
ple will be present from all parts of the State.
His Cabinet will be composed as follows :
Secretary of State—William M. Mister, of
Berks county.
Deputy Secretary of State—Henry L. Dief
fenback, of Clinton county.
Attorney General—Hon. John C. Knox, at
present Judge of the Supreme Court.
It is understood that Mr. Knox will resign
the judgeship at present held by him, and
that Wm. A. Porter, Esq., of Philadelphia,
will be appointed in his place.
Douglas and the Opposition
It is nut a little amusing to notice with
what unanimity the opposition press and
politicians, are now lauding STEPHEN A.
Dorm,As, and commending his course on the
Kansas difficulties. Why is this? Judge
Douglas occupies the same ground now, in
regard to the rights of the people of each
State to make and regulate their own laws,
that he did sin 1854, when advocating the
Kansas-Nebraska Bill, and in 1856 when he
was advocating and defending the great prin
ciples of popular sovereignty embraced in
the Cincinnati platform. Then he was de
nounced by these same opposition prints, as
the very worst man in the nation, and as al
together unworthy the confidence of the
American people. What has wrought this
sudden change in the sentiments of the op
position toward the "Little Giant?" Simply
that he differs from a Democratic Adminis
tration on a question of policy, and they are
ready and willing to give up all semblance
of consistency for the sake of opposing that
administration. If their self respect was
equal to a tithe of their fanaticism, they
would blush for the position they now occu
py. But we shall not complain of them.—
They are only furnishing the means of meet
ing their own reckless assaults upon Judge
Douglas hereafter, when the Democracy of
the nation shall have determined to elevate
him to still higher honors. Douglas is too
great and too strong in the hearts of the
American Democracy to be seriously injured,
even by the deceitful praises and pretended
friendship of the opposition party—and the
statesman who can stand that need fear little
else.— 11 7 itynesbury 111-csscizger.

M~tuo-'i;1 11 (e, Well al 1012 i ;11:t4a.731.1miloki
On the 7th inst., in the Senate, the follow
ing message was received from the President
in response to the call for information rela
tive to the recent events in Central America :
"In submitting to the Senate the papers
for which they have called, I deem it proper
to make -11, few observations. In capturing
Gen. Walker and his command after they had
landed on the soil of Nicaragua, Commodore
Paulding has, in my opinion, committed a
great error: It is quite evident, however,
from the communications herewith transmit
ted, that this was done from pure and patri
otic motives, and in the sincere conviction
that he was promoting the interests and vin
dicating the honor of his country.
In regard to Nicaragua, she has suStained
no injury by the act of Com. Paulding. This
has tended to her benefit and relieved her
from a dreaded invasion. She alone would
have any right to complain of the Violation of
her territory, and it is quite certain she Will
never exercise this right. It does not lie in
the power of her invaders to complain in her
name. She has been rescued by Commodore
Paulding from their assault. The error of
this gallant officer consists in exceeding his
instructions and landing his sailors and ma
rines in Nicaragua, whether with or withoitt
her consent, for the purpose of making War
upon any military force whatever which he
might find in the country, no matter from
whence they came. This power certainly
did not belong to him. Obedience to the law
and conformity to instructions are the best
and safest guides for all officers, civil and
military, and when they transcend these lim
its and act upon their own responsibility,
evil consequences almost inevitably follow.—
Under these circumstances, when Marshal
Rynders presented himself at the State De
partment on the 29th ult., with Gen. Walker
in custody, the Secretary informed him that
the Executive Department of the Government
did not recognize Gen. Walker as a prisoner;
that it had no directions to give concerning
him, and that it is only through the action of
the Judiciary that he could be lawfully held
in custody to answer any charges that might
be brought against him. In thus far disap
proving the conduct of Commodore Paulding,
no inference must be drawn that I am less
determined than I have ever been to execute
the Neutrality laws of the United States.—
This is my imperative duty, and I shall con
tinue to perform it by all the means which
the, Constitution and the laws have placed in
my power. My opinion of the value and im
portance of these laws corresponds entirely
with that expressed by Mr. Monroe in his
message to Congress, of Decen'aber 17, 1819.
That wise, prudent and patriotic statesman
says it is of the highest importance to our na
tional character, and indispensable to the
morality of our citizens that all violations of
our neutrality laws should be prevented. No
door should be left open for the evasion of
our laws. No opportunity afforded to any
who may be disposed to take advantage of it
to compromise the interest or honor of the na
tion. The crime of setting on foot or provi
ding the means for military expeditions within
the United States to make war against a for
eign State with which we are at peace, is one
of an aggravated character and early enga
ged the attention of Congress. Whether the
Executive government possesses any or what
power under the Constitution independently
of Congress, to prevent or punish this and
similar offences against the law of nations,
was a subject which engaged the attention of
our most eminent statesmen in the time of
the administration of General Washington,
and on the occasion of the French Revolution.
The act of Congress of the sth of June, 1794,
fortunately removed all the difficulties of this
question which had heretofore.existed. The
fifth and seventh sections of this act, which
relates to the present question, are the same
in substance with the sixth and eighth sec
tions of the act of April, 18,18, and have now
been in force for a period of more than sixty,
years. The military expedition rendered
criminal by the act must have its origin, must
begin, or be set on foot in the United States,
but the great object of this law was to save
foreign States, with whom we are at peace,
from the ravages of these lawless expeditions
proceeding from our shores. The seventh
section alone; therefore, which simply defines
the crime and its punishment would have
been inadequate to accomplish this purpose
and enforce our international duties. In or
der to render the law effectual it was neces
sary to prevent the carrying on of such expe-,
ditions to their consummation before they
had succeeded in leaving our shore's. This
has been done effectually, and in clear and
explicit language, in the authority given to
the President under the eighth section of the
act, to employ the land and naval forces of
the United States for the purpose of prevent
ing the carrying on of any such expeditions
or enterprise from the Territories or jurisdic
tion of the United States against the territo
ries or domain of any foreign Prince or State,
or of any colony, district or people with whom
the United States are at peace. For these
reasonshad Commodore Paulding intercepted
the steamer Fashion, with General Walker
and his command on board, at any period be
fore they entered the port of San Juan do
Nicaragua, and conducted them back to Mo
bile, he would have prevented them from car-
rying on the expedition, and have done not
only a
. justifiable, but a praiseworthy act.—
The crime well deserves the severe punish
ment juilicted upon it by our laws. It violates
the principles of Christianity, morality and
humanity, held sacred by all civilized nations
and by none more than by the people of the
United States. Disguise it as we may, such
a military expedition is an invitation to reck
less and lawless men to enlist under the ban
ner of any adventurer to rob, plunder and
murder the unoffending citizens of neighbor
ing States who have never done them harm.
It is an usurpation of the war Making power
Which belongs alone to Congress, and the
Government, at least in the estimation of the
world, become an accomplice in the commis
sion of this 'crime, unless it adopts hell the
means necessary to prevent and to punish it.
It would be far better and more in accord
ance with a bold and manly character of our
countrymen for the government itself to get
up such expeditions than to allow them to
proceed under the command of irresponsible
adventurers. We could then, at least, exer
cise some control over our own agency and
prevent them from burning down cities and
committing other acts of enormity of which
we have read. The avowed principle which
lies at the foundation of the law of nations is
contained in the Divine command, that all
things whatsoever ye would that man should
do to you, do ye even unto them. Tried by
this unerring rule, we should be severely
condemned if we shall not use the best exer
tions to arrest such expeditions against our
feeble sister Republic of Nicaragua. One
thing, is very certain, that the people never
existed who would call any other nation to a
stricter account than we should ourselves, for
tolerating lawless expeditions from their
shores to make war upon any portion of our
territories. By, tolerating such expeditions,
we shall soon lose the high character we have
enjoyed ever since the days of Washington,
for the faithful performance of international
obligations and duties, and inspire distrust
against us among the members of the great
family of civilized nations. But if motives
of duty were not sufficient to restrain us from
engaging in such lawless enterprises, evident
interest ought to dictate this policy. These
expeditions are the most effectual mode of re
tarding American progress, although to pro
mote it is the avowed object of the leaders
and contributors in such undertakings.
It is - beyond question the destiny of our
race to spread themselves over the continent
of North America, and thus at no distant
day, should events be permitted to take their
natural course, the tide of emigration will
flow to the South and North, and nothing can
eventually arrest its progress, if permitted to
go there peacefully. Central America will
soon contain an American population which
will confer blessings and benefits as well
upon the natives as their respective govern
ments. Liberty under the restraints of law,
will preserve domestic peace, whilst the dif
ferent transit routes across the Isthmus, in
which we are so deeply interested, will have
assured protection.
Nothing has retarded this happy condition
of affairs so much as the unlawful expedition
which has been fitted out in the United States
to make war upon the Central - American
States. Had one half of the number of
American citizens who have miserably per
ished in the first disastrous expedition of Gen.
Walker, settled in Nicaragua, settled as peace
ful emigrants, the object which in all desire
would arc this have been in a great degree
accomplished. The expeditions have caused
the people of the Central American States to
rerard us with dread and suspicion. It is
our policy to remove this apprehension and
convince them that we intend to do them good
and not evil. We desire, as the leading
Power on this Continent, to open, and if need
be, to protect every transit route across the
Isthmus, not only for our own benefit, but
that of the world, and thus open a free access
to Central America, and through it to our
Pacific. possessions. This policy was com
menced under favorable auspicess when the
expedition under the command of General
'Walker escaped from our Territories, and
proceeded to Punta Arenas. Should another
expedition of a similar character again evade
the vigilance of our officers and proceed to
Nicaragua, this would be fatal, at ledst for a
season, to the peaceful settlement of these
countries, and to the policy of American pro
gress. The truth is, no administration can
successfully conduct the foreign affairs of the
country, in Central America or anywhere
else, if it is to be interfered with at every
step by lawless military expeditions, " set on
foot" in the United States.

Reading out of the Party.
The following we copy from the Clinton,
Democrat, edited by 11. L. DIEFFENBACII, ap:
pointed Deputy Secretary of the Common
wealthqty Gov. Packer :
" We notice a disposition in some quarters
to proscribe those Democrats who cannot
agree to the admission of Kansas as a State
under the Lecompton constitution. The ab
surdity and folly of such a step ought to be
apparent to every one. If public sentiment
around us is an indication of the feeling of
the Democracy of the State, we suspect there
would be but a small party left after such a
summary proceeding. In this county there
would not a sufficient number remain to form
a standing committee, and we hear of a simi
lar unanimity of sentiment in the counties
around us.
Bat why may not Democrats differ on
Kansas affairs without affecting their party
standing ?_ We do not see that it is a viola's
tion of the principles of the party to support
or oppose the admission of-a territory into
the Union as a State under a certain consti
tution, so that it be republican in form ; and
in regard to the various measures of expedi=
ency growing out of the slavery agitation,
we think it has always been herd that Demo
crats might differ as to their propriety, with
out affecting their party standing, provided
they remained true to the party organization.
We maintain that position still, and while
doing so we insist that we are sustained by
the previous uniform action of the party. •
It will not do to read such men as DOUGLAS,
WALKER, and. FORNEY, out of the party.—
They have devoted their lives and their bril
liant talents to the maintenance and 'ad
vancement of Democratic principles. They
have never been found in the opposition—
and never lake-warm when the party was in
danger: And shall they now be immolated
simply because they insist that Kansas shall
net be admitted into the Union under a. con
stitution which is notoriously opposed by a
majority of its citizens, and in the formation
of which many of them never had an oppor
tunity to participate ? NEVER—and the par
ty will never submit to it!"
First Annual Report of the Managers'
of the Huntingdon Gas Company.
The Board of Nanagers snbn it the
follow
iog report of the condition and operations of
the Company from the -organization until the
present time.
After the granting of the charter, on the
14th of March, IS57', subscriptions to the
stock of the Company were obtained amount
ing to the suni of sB,7oo—when the Compa
ny was organized by the election of the pre
sent Board of Managers.
Proposals were then: received by them from
a number of persons, and on the 13th of May
1857; a contract was entered into with
Messrs: J. N. Bird. & Co., of Trenton, N. J.,
for the building and completing of the whole
works, including the supplying, and laying
of the street mains, service pipe, &c., for
which they were to receive the sum of $ll,-
465, which amount was several thousand
dollars less than any of the other proposals.
A lot of ground was purchased from Messrs.
Orbison, Dorris & Co. for two hundred and
forty dollars, and Col. Bird commenced the
erection of the works upon this lot on the
first day of June, and on the twenty-ninth
day of August the town was lighted with
gas, and since then the WOrki have been in
successful operation,
The whole amount collected. on tfie stock
subscriptions is s7,6oo—and for the purpose
of raising money to pay the balance due for
the construction of the works, laying extra
service pipe, purchasing meters, tools, &c.,
the Company under -the authority given by
the charter, issued eight bonds, each in the
sum of five hundred dollars, with interest at
eight per cent per annum payable semi-an
nually, secured by a niortgage given to Hon.
James Gwin as Trustee, upon the works,
street mains, &e. Five of these bonds have
already been sold and the other three are
still in the possession of the Company.
There are now eighty consumers of gas ;
3420 feet of four inch street mains and 1134
feet of three inch, have been laid; 70216
pounds of coal have been carbonized, fur
nishing 258,125 cubic feet of gas.
The net amount of gas sold up to first day
of January 1858, is $692 89 :
September, $lO9 98
October, 184 09
November, 195 47
December, 203 35
The average loss during October, November
and December has been only St per cent on
the whole amount of gas made.
The works are now under the management
of IJriah Lewis at a salary of six hundred
dollars per annum. The whole expense of
carrying on the works duringthe month of
Decembr is $Bl 27, whilst the receipts for
gas are $203 35.
The Company have had the whole 'works,
including the coal and lime house, erected at
the contract price, without the payment of
anything in the shape of "extras." The sum
of $677 12 paid to J. N. Bird & Co. for addi
tional service pipe, and for street pipe, which
the mana g ers deemed it advisable to pur
chase for the purpose of extending the street
mains to Washington street as soon as funds
can be raised for that purpose.

under it. In this instance they are . denied
that right. A count is called for, and it is
sheer despotisrn to refuse it. This right they
have, without any promises or pledges ; but
in this case the promise was made in addi
tion to the natural obligation. It was osten
tatiously made, and repeated by millions of
tongues. After all that has been said for the
last three years, nothing will do but the most
fair and liberal fulfilment of the pledge that
the people of Kansas shall frame their own
institutions to suit themselves. It will not
do to dodge it, by any technicalities, excuses
or subterfuges."

throat while playing in

that time the child continued ailing until its
death, the immediate cause of which was
supposed to he diarrhoea.

manufacturing and selling massive gold Pencils for $5
each, (which are cheap at that price,) and they throw in a
gift or prize with each Pencil, worth frorn $2 up to $5, $lO,
$l5, $2O, $25, $3O, $5O, $75, $lOO, $2OO, and $5OO. Don't
cry out, Humbug! Lottery I" It's no such thing. The
Pencils are sold at their cash value, and all the profits over
the first cost are thrown into the gifts, which actually cost
the purchaser nothing. The prizes are distributed on a
simple plan of drawing, which would take too much room
to explain, but which has never failed to give complete
satisfaction. We have drawn and sent to purchasers 183
gold watches of various prices, 74 purses of gold dollars,
238 gold lockets, 850 gold chains, and a corresponding
number of other prizes, within two months.
THERE ARE NO BLANKS,
but every purchaser draws a prize worth $2 certain, and it
stands thousands of chances to be a higher figure.
We want a good agent in every neighborhood through
out the country, to solicit purchasers, nail any agent, to
be successful, must have a Pencil and prize to ev•hibit.—
Wo pay agents $1 cash for each purchaser he obtains, and
the first person in any neighborhood who applies for a
Pencil and gift, will receive the agency for that locality.—
Should an agent obtain a valuable prize to exhibit with
his Pencil, he would, have little difficulty obtaining
scores of purchasers, and making it a paying business.
A NEW IDEA! • READ!! READ!!!
We ask nobody to send their Money till they know what
prize they draw. Any person wishing to try their luck.
can first seed tis their name and address, and we will make
their drawing and inform them by return, mail what prize
they drew, when they can send on and take the Pencil and
prize,, or not, whichever they choose. We
: give this privi
lege only - once to a purchaser. After the first drawing, ev
ery purchaser will be required to send in advance, through
the authorized agent. We will send with each drawing
the number taken out, with full description of the plan of
drawing: Address . C. E. TODD & CO.,
