Attention !---Todd & Co., N. Y.
The following we find in the New York Led
ger of a late date. Those who send money
to Todd & Co., may expect to be swindled :
A FORGED PUFF."—We have received many letters
within a short time inquiring about "C. E. Todd & Co.,
No. 3d2 Broome street, New York," who promise to give
prizes ranging from $2 to $5OO to all who shall buy of
them a gold pencil worth $5, and who have sent circulars
over the country containing a strong " puff " of their "en
terprise,' which they falsely allege appeared in the is.k;ENV
YORK LEDGER. :some of our subscribers, supposing this
forged "puff" to be a genuine commendation by us of what
"C. E. Todd & Co." call their magnificent speculation,"
have sent money to that firm. A short time since, one of
our distant subscribers came to the city, having in his pee
sesion one of the circulars above alluded to, and called at
"392 Broome street," when, to his surprise, he found that
no such parties as "C. E. Todd & Co." were there, or had
ever had a place of business there. He then called on us,
stated his case, and showed us the circular containing the
"puff" falsely alleged to have been given the missing con
cern by us. We at once dispatched a competent person to
investigate the matter, who reported that "C. E. Tood &
Co." could not be found. We make this statement in jus
tice to ourselves and to our readers. We know nothing
about "C. E. Todd & Co., 392 Broome street, New York,"
and have never said, and probably never shall say, any
thing in the LEDGER commendatory of them or their " en
.terprise."
A NEW DEMOCRATIC PAPER AT HARRISBURG.
—We have received several numbers of a new
Democratic paper, the Daily Herald, pub
lished at Harrisburg, by ROYAL & MCREY
NOLDS. The Herald is a neat six column pa
per, ably edited. It may be considered the
organ of our State administration, as it is the
only Democratic paper at Harrisburg that
sustains Gov. Packer in his views on the Kan
sas question. ROYAL & MCREYNOLDS are both
practical printers, and have ever been hard
working and influential Democrats. Their
success is certain. %Ve give an article from
the Herald in another column—read it. If
you want a daily from
. Harrisburg, send fur
the Herald—s 3 per annum in advance.
A PARADISE OF DEBTORS.—A bill has been
introduced into the Legislature of Minnesota
intended to stimulate immigration into the
State. The bill exempts actual settlers from
all process of law for the recovery of debts
that were contracted before their coming into
the State. if the bill should become a law,
we may expect that the State will be settled
principally by the dishonest of the old States.
Hereafter When a subscriber leaves unexpect
edly, we will announce him as left for Minne
sota.
THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE.—On the 11th,
after the majority of the House had passed
Mr. Harris' resolution referring the Presi
dent's Message on the admission of Kansas
into the Union under the Lecompton Consti
tution, to a Select Committee, with power to
inquire into the frauds, the Speaker appoin
ted the following named gentlemen on said
Committee :
Thomas L. Harris, 111., (Anti-Lecompton Democrat.)
A. H. Stephens, Ga., (Lecompton Democrat.)
Justin S. Morrill, Vt. z (Repuplican.)
John Letcher, Va., (Lecompton Democrat.)
Edward Wade, Ohio, (Republican.)
John A. Quitman, Miss., (Lecompton Democrat.)
Warren Winslow, N. C., (Lecompton Democrat.)
Henry Bennett, N. Y., (Republican.)
Alison White, Pa., (Lecompton Democrat.)
D. S. Walbridge Mich., (Republican.)
'T. L. Anderson, (Lecompton American.)
J. W. Stevenson, Hy. ' (Lecompton Democrat.)
Garnet B. Adrain, N. J., (Anti-Lecompton Democrat.)
James Buffington, Mass., (Republican.)
William F. Russel, N. Y., Lecompton Democrat.)
Eight Lecompton men to seven anti-Le
compton. The majority will attempt to force
the Lecompton swindle through the House,
fraud or no fraud.
fl Gov. DENvErt is the fifth Democratic
Governor sent to Kansas, and it is authenti
cally known in Washington that he has writ
ten to the President, advising against the ac
ceptance of the Lecompton Constitution. Gov.
D. says that its acceptance will undoubtedly
bring on a civil war. Who will be responsi
ble Y
SHIGLEYSBURG MCNITE 3 Esq.,
has been appointed Post Master, vice Dr.
LIGHTNER, resigned. J.S. A. DOYLE, was
fined $5, before Esq. BAcKus, for sitting in
his seat in the time of prayer, in the M. E.
Church. Prof. T. H. PoLLoos, delivered a
lecture in the Academy Hall, on Thursday
night last. A few years ago Prof. P. was a
poor farmer boy in that neighborhood—now
ho is Professor of a Mercantile College in the
city of Lancaster.
LOOK OUT.—The Bank of Crawford county
has commenced circulating its notes, and
once again we would warn our readers not
to take them, says the Erie City Dispatch ;
they will be, in the course of a few months,
not worth a straw. We have the facts rela
tive to the establishing of this bank, as well
as that of Tioga county, the names of their
owners, and their present financial responsi
bility, &c., &c., which we will publish shortly
—but in the meantime would advise those
who would not suffer loss to refuse.the notes
of both the above-named banks.
APPOINTMENT BY TEE GOVERNOR.—Edwin
C. Wilson, Esq., of Venango county, Adju
tant General of Pennsylvania, in place of
Thomas J. Power, Esq., resigned.
The Question at Issue
The distinguished Representative from 'llli
nois, the Hon. Thomas L. Harris, in his let
ter to the recent meeting at National Hall,
Phila., enunciated one truth which ought par
ticularly to strike the attention of the whole
country. In the writer's eloquent language
it is thus expressed :
"The struggle in which we are engaged
has a more extensive application than to the
Territory of Kansas. The principles for
which we contend are to be applied in all
places, and through all time. It is not, in
any sense, a strife between the North and
South—between African slavery - and its
enemies, although the array of parties in
Congress would, at first view, seem to indi
cate. It is a question which involves the
whole doctrine of popular liberty—the liberty
of white men. In that sense alone am I en
gaged in it."
DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENT IN Old) LYCOMINC.
—A Mass-Meeting of the Democracy of Ly
coming county, was held on the 6th inst., and
the following with other resolutions, were
adopted with great enthusiasm.:
Resolved, That it was promised and expect
ed by the the Democracy of this country that
the election of James Buchanan to the Pres
idency, would be a triumph of the principle
of popular sovereignty over that of Congres
sional interference ; that he would insist upon
fair play in Kansas ; that the election frauds
and certificates would be crushed ; that Le
compte, Calhoun, and other notorious charac
ters in office in that Territory would be dis
missed; that unjust laws, enacted by a Lgis
lature elected by Missouri votes, would be re
pealed or nullified ; and that slavery should
not prevail there against the will of
. the ma
jority. Under these promises and explana
tions we triumphed in that election, and with
out them we must have been defeated. We
shall still labor to make good our vows to the
people.
Resolved, That the admission of Kansas,
as a State, under the so-called Lecompton
Constitution, would be a violation of the prin
ciples and pledges of the Democratic party ;
in direct conflict with the Cincinnati platform,
the Kansas Nebraska act, the inaugural ad
dress of the President, the promises made to
the people in 1856, and present public opin
ion ; because it is notorious that said Consti
tution is not the work of the citizens of that
Territory, nor has it been sanctioned by a
majority of them, but is a bantling conceived
in sin and brought forth in iniquity.
SOMERSET COUNTY.—That fearless Journal
of the people, the Somerset Democrat, of the
10th inst., speaking of the President's last
message, says :
" There are no additional facts communi
cated, nor no new arguments produced by the
President, calculated to change our views
upon this momentous question. We have
from the first regarded the Constitution formed
at Lecompton as a base swindle and a usur
pation of the grossest character, and as such
we shall resist it to the last. The whole con
trivance, from the beginning to the end, is a
fraud so palpable, so gross, so unmitigated,
that it is matter to us of utter astonishment
that it has its friends among the party that
prides itself in being in favor of popular
sovereignty' and of the will of the majority.'
We do not exaggerate when we say, that at
least four-fifths of the Democracy of this
county, differ with the Administration on this
question, and will never be fully reconciled to
the gross outrages that have lately been in
flicted upon the people of Kansas, unless a
fair opportunity is allowed them of expres
sing their sentiments in regard to this infa
mous bantling of the Lord John Calhoun,
which was conceived in iniquity and brought
forth in corruption.' "
SEPOY ATROCITIES.—We have been assured
by a medical friend, says the _Medical Times,
that lie has been eousrlted by a lady who has
recently arrived at _lllyswater, from India,
whose nose has been cut off. Her child, three
years old, has neither hands nor feet ; they
were all cut off by the mutineers. How the
child survived is a mystery. The governess
to this family escaped with the loss of her
ears, which were cut off as an easy way of
getting her ear-rings. Another friend is at
tending a lady whose nose has been split
open, and her ears have been cut off. She
has brought home to England three young
children, all blind. Their eyes have all been
gouged out by the Sepoys. We have heard
from another source, quite beyond question,
(a lady who speaks from personal knowledge,)
that there are several ladies now in Calcutta,
who have undergone such unspeakable deg
radation that they obstinately refuse to give
their names. They prefer being thought of
by their relations in England as dead. There
are also in Calcutta several young children
whose names are quite unknown. One little
creature says she is " Mamma's pet ;" and
that is all we are over likely to know of her
past history.
To Teachers and Friends of Education.
The attention of Teachers, School Direc
tors, and friends of Education generally, is re
spectfully invited to a call recently published,
for a meeting of the Huntingdon county
Teachers Institute, in this place, on the 22d
inst., to continue in session for two or three
days, or longer, as a majority of the members
present may determine. Al number of sub
jects of importance, it is expected, will be
discussed during the session ; amongst others
that of the County Superintendency, which,
at the earnest solicitation of numerous citi
zens from all parts of the county, will be pre
sented for consideration, and for the discus
sion of which, no more favorable time could
be selected. Petitions for the repeal of this
office are now being presented to the Legis
lature, from different portions of the State,
and it is desirable that a full and fair opinion
of sentiment from the friends of education
and tax-payers of our county, be had, as well
as a free interchange of opinion on the sub
ject. It is expected that a memorial will be
presented for the continuation or repeal of
the office, and it is, therefore, desirable that
a full representation of those favorable to the
same, as well as those who are opposed to it,
be present, in order that the subject may be
fairly and impartially discussed.
By order of the Board of Managers.

HUNTINGDON, Feb. 17, 1858.
Two of the McKeesport murderers,
Ffenry Fife and Charlotte Jones, were hung
at Pittsburgh, on the 12th inst., at 2 o'clock.
Both delivered addresses acknowledging the
justice of their sentence, but pronouncing
Monroe Stewart, as innocent of the crime.
Pennsylvania Legislature.
TUESDAY. Senate.—Mr. Buckalew presen
ted a petition of citizens of Bucks and. Phila
delphia counties, representing:
"Tia they are subject to trouble, inconvenience and
expense, on account of a continual influx upon them of
fugitive slaves and manumitted negroes from other States.
Fugitives aro pursued to this State and their reclamation
Is sometimes attended with mobs, and always with a de-:
gree of excitement, in violation of the quiet of the people
and the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth. Old and
broken down negroes, set free by their masters on account
of their utter worthlessness, seek our shores only to be
come a public charge or a prey upon individual charity;
others, still more objectional, commit petty and attrocious
crimes, occupy the time of our courts, and fill up our jails
and penitentiaries, mid thus in various ways increasing
the already enormous burthen of our tax payers. 'We
therefore respectfully urge upon your honorabo bodies, the
necessity of a general law prohibiting negroes and mulat
toes from coming into our State with a view of acquiring
a residence."
The subject has engrossed the attention of
the citizens of the Commonwealth for some
time and although the present movement is
circumscribed, it may have the effect of awa
kening the public mind to the importance of
legislation to meet the case.
Mr. Creswell presented petitions from coal
operators, transporters, and owners of boats,
on the public works, for payment of damages
sustained by them in the sale of the Main
Line of the public improvements. Petiticns
were presented for the erection of a new
county out of Erie, Crawford and Warren
counties. Mr. Schell read bills, incorpora
ting the Bedford Railroad Company, supple
mentary to the Huntingdon and Broad To
Railroad Company, and to authorize the
commissioners of Bedford county to borrow
money.
House.—Considerable time was consumed
in the hearing and discussion of the bill di
vorcinc, Thomas Washington Smith and his
wife. A principal objection urged against its
passage was that it is a case within the juris
diction of the Courts. A bill chartering the
Mifflin County Bank was read by Mr. Bower.
Mr. Houtz read bills authorizing the Canal
Commissioners to examine the claims of Isra
el Graffius and John Gemmill for damages
sustained by them in the construction of the
Pennsylvania Canal, and Kessler, Whitney
Sr, Co. for coal furnished the Columbia Rail
road.
WEDNESDAY. Senate.—A bill to make bet
ter provision for the punishment of frauds
committed by bankers, trustees and others,
entrusted with property,—very stringent in
its provisions,—passed second reading.
THURSDAY. Senate.—Mr. Schell from the
committee on Claims, - reported with amend
ment, a bill to authorize the Governor to ap
point an assessor of damages sustained by
transporters and boat owners on the public
works, in consequence of the disposal of the
main line of improvements. Dr. Gazzam of
Alleghany offered a resolution instructing,
Simon Cameron, our U. S. Senator, and re
questing our Representatives in Congress to
vote against any bill admitting Kansas as
a State, that may recognize the Lecompton
Constitution as the act of the people, or in
any way binding on them. It was referred
to a select committee of Messrs. Buckalew,
Evans, Gazzam, Randall, Shaeffer, Miller
and Gregg. The House resolution fixing the
25th of March as the day for, the final ad
journment of the Legislature was discussed
fully and freely, and was amended by nam
ing the 13th of April. In this shape it was
passed and sent to the House for concurrence.
House.—Two petitions from Huntingdon
county, praying the incorporation of the Mif
flin county Bank were presented. The bills
relative to the claims of John Gemmil and
Kessler, Whitney Sr; Co., of Huntingdon
county were reported, and so, of the bill re
lating to the claim of Israel Grafuis.
FRIDAY. Senate.—A memorial from citi
zens of Coalmont, Huntingdon county, pray
ing for the erection of a lock-up at that place,
was presented. A bill embodying the desire
of the petitioners was read in place by Mr.
Schell. The House fixed as a standing rule,
that every alternate Friday it will adjourn
until the succeeding Monday, at 3 o'clock,
and applied the rule to-day by suspending
its labors until next Monday.
SATURDAY.—The Senate was at work in
good earnest and considered and passed a
large number of bills.
On Tuesday evening Col. John W. Forney,
of Philadelphia, by request of the members
of the Legislature, delivered an address in
the Hall of the House of Representatives, on
"American Statesman." The address was
well prepared, and was delivered in a pleas
ing and effective manner. The Hall was
crowded with ladies and gentlemen, eager
to obtain a sight of the man and hear his
words.
Elihu l3urrit, commonly called the "Learn
ed Blacksmith," addressed the people on the
subject of a compensated emancipation of
slavery, on Wednesday evening. His plan,
which he ably advocated, to rid our country
of slavery, was to apply the proceeds of the
sale of the public lands to the purchase of
the slaves by States, as rapidly as the States
were willing to enter into the arrangement.
The Philadelphians are wild. on the sub
ject of passenger railways. The experiment
has been tried in the city of Penn and proved
successful. This success has induced many
persons to endeavor to form companies and
obtain charters for the construction of roads
in other parts of the city. Several bills have
been presented embodying the desire of the
applicants, and the friends of the enterprize
are here in "plentiful" number to urge their
passage. JUNIAT A..

The Revivals in Hollidaysburg.
We copy the following items from the Hol
lidaysburg I?egister of Feb. 10th :
Revival in the Lutheran Church.—There
were taken into the Lutheran Curch in this
place, on Sunday last, one hundred and one
members, viz:—rB by confirmation, 9 by bap
tism, and. 14 by certificate and application.—
There are several more applicants, and still
the good work goes on. They begin to talk
of enlarging their church edifice.
Revival in the Presbyterian, Church.—ln the
Presbyterian Church in this place the work
of grace still progresses. The results are not
as yet fully developed, but about fifty have
been admitted to the communion of the church;
others are propounded, and so far as known,
between sixty and seventy have professed. con
version, whilst a still larger number have
been the subject of spiritual impression.
Revival in the M. E. Church.—Rev. G. W.
Cooper, Pastor—assisted by Rev. Stewart, of
Lewistown, Pa. The meetings are held night
ly, and up to Sunday last, eighty-f Our persons
had been admitted to church membership;
whilst some that professed conversion have
not as yet joined the church. The altar is
nightly crowded with seekers, and the inte
rest manifested by all seems to be on the in
crease.
Revival in th,e, Baptist Church.—On Sabbath
last eight persons more were baptized in the
river at this place by Rev. Taylor ; making
in all since the first commencement of their
protracted meeting some 30 souls who have
been added to the Church. The meeting
still continues with promise of further happy
fruits.
From Washington.
[Correspondence of the Press.]
IVASHINGTON, Feb. 14, 1858.
The programme has been made out for the
passage through the Senate at an early day
of the Lecompton Constitution, and an ac
companying for the admission of Kansas
into the Union as a State under it. This week
the Committe on Territories of that body, to
which the special message of the President
on the subject was referred, will make a re
port embodying the recommendations of that
message. Judge Douglas is preparing a
minority report. This document from Judge
Douglas promises to be one that will cover
the entire ground, embracing a succinct but
accurate history of the admissions of new
States, the facts and circumstances surround
ing these admissions, the principles involved,
and the principles that prevailed and have
grown into precedents by repeated recogni
tion, beside an expose of the Kansas question
as it has progressed through its various
stages. It will publish the position in which
he has taken his stand, and, as it undoubt
edly will be the record for his future political
career, its statements and conclusions will
be weighed well and clearly enforced.
The argument of the friends of Lecompton
for the hasty action which they design, is
that there are questions of vital importance—
the Utah question, our foreign relations, as
well as many others—demanding the atten
tion of Congress, and that to get to them this
Kansas question must be decided. They are
met with the argument in opposition, that
nothing can more vitally affect our existence,
as a Union of States than a departure, how
ever slight, from the animating and invigora
ting principle of our Constitution that in or
ganic acts of States the will of the majority,
as fairly expressed, shall be obeyed. If this
principle be done away with, what then but
bickering, but anarchy, and confusion must
be the result? None doubt, and all admit
now, as they admitted at the begining of this
Administration, that Kansas is unfitted for
slave institutions—that the inhabitants by over
whelining majorities, have time and again de
cided against them as their domestic institu
tions, and that with these facts indisputable
and tindenied, it is a sore, a grievous, and
dangerous . measure on the part of the Fede
ral Goverment to force upon an unwilling
people an' instrument of State Goverment
which they loath with an inexpressible ab
horrence, 'and spurn with the utmost con
tempt and contumely.
But, careless of principle, acknowledging
that the result will inevitably be civil broils
for the people of the new State, the open ad
vocates for an unprofitable measure of expe
diency will rush it through the Senate and
send it to the House for action. Then will
arise perplexing questions; perplexing, how
ever, only to some members, for Speaker Orr
will not mince matters when the moment ar
rives for the decisions from the chair to settle
mooted points of order. This must be evi
dent from his appointment of llarris's com
mittee, where, when a majority expressed it
self for an investigation, the spectacle was
presented of a committee with a majority
against an investigation, who themselves vo
ted against an investigation ; and where the
anomaly was also exhibited, for the first time
-in a legislative body, and in a committee on
a great question, dividing public sentiment,
of a chairman who voted with a majority ap
pointed with a majority on the committee
against him.
I learn that it is the intention, when the
bill is received from the Senate, to hurry it
immediately through the House without wait
ing for the Investigating Committee to make
its report; but I am inclined to believe that
this intention will be frustrated.
Calhoun is giving here, in person, an ex
hibition of his ingenuity. It is said that the
returns of the elections in Kansas are in the
department,, but if they are, nobody that I
have seen yet has had an opportunity to in
spect them._ The truth is that the impression
begins to, prevail that he, instead of being in
KansasAsakarging any duties that were de
volved upon him by the Lecompton Conven
tion, is here with all the returns, ready to
amend them as circumstances may demand,
and make Ahem conform with transpiring
events—always providing that in case of Le
compton passing, he shall be insured a posi
tion in the United States Senate.
