Huntingdon, Wednesday, May 23, 1860
LOCAL & PERSONAE.
HAIL STORM.—On Monday night this place
'was visited with a severe storm, attended by
hail. In the evening the vivid flashes of
lightning, accompanied with the low, rum
bling noise of the distant thunder, might have
been heard in the western horizon, coming
closer and closer, until it was fairly upon us
at 9 o'clock, when it not only rained, and
hailed and blowed, but it poured down. Hail
stones fell in our yard as large as hickory
nuts. We fear the hail has done great dam
age to the grain. We go to press too early
to have any news from the country; but we
hope for the best.
RAILROAD EMPLOYEES AND Pourics.—At a
meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, held re
cently, the following preamble and resolution
were adopted :
WHEREAS, It is proper to let it be fully and
clearly_understood that it is the settled policy
•of this company to keep aloof from all politi
val contests, and to disapprove of any of its
officers or employees taking any active part
therein ; therefore,
Resolved, That whilst we disclaim any in
tention to interfere with the individual rights
of our officers or Employees, we will regard
any attempt to control the votes of those in
the service of this company, or in any way
pervert its influence to the support of any po
litical party, as sufficient ground for summa
ry dismissal."
Two MEN KILLED.--Shepherd Crownover
and George Hampson were killed near Mill
Creek by the fast passenger train going east,
at 10 o'clock on Monday night last. They
had been in,.this place during the day, and
left for their homes in the evening, both in
toxicated. Crownover was badly mangled,
and instantly killed. Hampson lived two or
three hours after he had been struck by the
locomotive. They both lived in the neigh
borhood of Mill Creek. Crownover leaves a
THE WEATIJER.—Sunday was one of those
beautiful days poets sing of. Clear, calm,
and salubrious. But to-day (Monday,) the
lightning gashes, thunder bellows long, loud
and angry, and the rain falls in torrents.—
We are almost inclined to the opinion that
the clerk of the weather is " wrong shipped,"
for we have had almost constant rain for two
weeks. The air is raw and cold for May, but
vegetation comes on finely.
ser We took a drive into the country, on
Thursday last, and were surprised at the flat
tering aspect the wheat crop presents. The
farmers we talked to, are in high spirits, and
Hay they have not seen a nacre flattering pros
pect for five years. Most of them have their
corn in, and a considerable quantity of it up,
which also bids fair to yield an abundant crop.
Tnn RAILROAD.—On Friday a week, a
train of three passenger cars were thrown
into the Juniata river below Perrysville, by
a land-slide from the ridge. Fortunately the
passengers had all• left the cars a few min
utes before for the purpose of walking around
a slide which had previously occurred. Two
of the cars immediately sank—the third
floated down the river.
THE CANAL.—The late high water in the
Juniata river done considerable damage to
the Canal at several points between Lewis
town and Harrisburg. Boats will not be
able to run through before the first of June.
A brake occurred in the towing path at this
place, on Wednesday morning last, but was
repaired by Saturday sufficiently to admit of
boats passing.
ACCIDENT.—Fletcher MeCahan, a young
man employed on the passenger train of the
Broad Top Road, met with an 'accident on
Monday of last week. He was coupling some
freight cars, and was caught between them,
crushing him in a serious manner. lie is
recovering slowly.
I3oeutTs.—Miss 'Jennie White has our
thanks for abeautiful boquet of wild and tame
flowers. We also received ono of choice
garden flowers from Mr. 11. W. Miller, but
not half as large as the one we shall expect
from the same garden in a few weeks. •
DEPUTY MARSECALS.—George Jackson, and
E. L. Everheart, of this place, and George
W. Speer, of Mt. Union, have been appointed
to take the census of this county.
New Schedules have gone into effect
on the Pennsylvania and Huntingdon and
Broad Top roads. See time tables.
THE SOUTHERN DISUNIONISTS.—The South
ern members of Congress have issued an ad
dress to the Seceders from Charleston to at
tend the Baltimore Convention, and advises
them to secede a second time if their demands
should not be acceded to. We have no fears
that the Seceders will give the Baltimore
-Convention the least trouble—they left the
Convention—are outside of the organization,
and can only get back by re-election and sub
mitting to the will of the majority.
LET THE PEOPLE BE HEARD.- - It is proposed
to adopt a resolution at the next National
Democratic Convention that no one holding
office under the General Government should
be allowed a seat in any Democratic Conven
tion. This should be done by all means.
The man who, in the Baltimore Convention,
will make such a proposition, will immortal
ize himself. Let it be done by all means.
Abe Lincoln
The Phila. Ledger, an independent, neu
tral paper, amuses its readers with an ex
tract from - one of the speeches of Mr. Doug
las in the contest fur the Senatorship with
Mr. Lincoln. We publish it as we find it in
the columns of that paper :
Mr. Douglas said :
" In the remarks which I have made upon
this platform, and the position of Mr. Lin
coln upon it, I mean nothing personal, disres
pectful or unkind to that gentleman. I have
known him for nearly twenty-five years.—
We had many points of sympathy when I first
got acquainted with him. We were both
comparatively boys ; both struggling with
poverty in a strange town for our support—
I an humble school teacher in a town of Win
chester, and he a flourishing grocery keeper
in the town of Salem. [Laughter.] Ile was
more successful in his occupation than I, and
hence became more fortunate in this world's
goods. Mr. Lincoln is one of those peculiar
men that has performed with admirable skill
in every occupation that he ever attempted.
I made as good a school. teacher as I could,
and when a cabinet maker I made the best
bedsteads and tables, but my old boss said I
succeeded better in bureaus and secretaries
than in anything else. [Laughter.]
But I believe that Mr. Lincoln was more
successful in his business than I, for his busi
ness soon carried him directly into the Leg
islature. There I met him in a little time,
and I bad a sympathy . with him because of
the up-hill struggle in life. [Cheers and
laughter.] He was then as good at telling
an anecdote as now. He could beat any of
the boys at wrestling, could outrun them at
a foot race, beat them at pitching quoits
and tossing a copper, and could win more
liquor than all the boys put together, [laugh
ter and cheers ;] and the dignity and impar
tiality with which he presided at a horse-race
or a fight were the praise of everybody that
was present and participated. [Renewed
laughter.] Hence, I had a sympathy for
him, because he was struggling with misfor
tune and so was L Mr. Lincoln served with
me, or I with him, in the Legislature of 1836,
when we parted. He subsided or submerged
for some years, and I lost sight of him.—
In 1846, when Wilmot raised the Wilmot pro
viso tornado, Mr. Lincoln again turned as a
member of Congress from Sangamon District.
I, being in the Senate of the United States,
was called to welcome him, then without
friend and companion. He then distinguished I
himself by his opposition to the Mexican war,
taking the side of the common enemy, in time
of war, against his own country. [Cheers
and groans.] When he returned home from
that Congress, he found that the indignation
of the people followed him everywhere, until
he again retired to private life, and was sub
merged until he was forgotten again by . his
friends. He came up again in 1854, in time
to make the Abolition Black Republican plat
form, in company with Lovejoy, Giddings,
Chase and Fred Douglas, for the Republican.
Party to stand upon. Trumbull, too, was one
of our own contemporaries."
Mr. Lincoln appears to be very popular in
the Northwest, and doubtless he owes his
nomination over Mr. Seward to the desire to
secure the Northwestern States for the Re
publican party. His views in regard to sla
very are quite as decided as those of Mr. Sew
ard, and on the occasion of his nomination as
a candidate for the United -States Senate, he
made a speech, in which he distinctly an
nounces the " irrepressible conflict," as the
following extract will show :
" We are now far into the fifth year since
the policy was initiated with the avowed ob
ject and confident promise of putting an end
to slavery agitation. Under the operation of
that policy, that agitation has not only not
ceased, hut has constantly augmented. In
my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis
shall have been reached and passed. A house
divided against itself cannot stand. I believe
this government cannot endure permanently
half slave and half free. Ido not expect the
Union to be dissolved—l do not expect the
house to fall—but I do expect it will cease to
be divided. It will all become one thing or
all the other. Either the opponents of sla
very will arrest the farther spread of it, and
place it where the public mind shall rest in
the belief that it is in the course of ultimate
extinction, or its advocates will push it for
ward till it shall become alike in all the
States, old as well as new—North as well as
South."
Chicago and Baltimore.---Lincoln and
Douglas.
The Republican party, in convention at
Chicago, nominated Abram Lincoln, of Illi
nois, as their candidate for President of the
United States. There must have been strong
reasons which could have induced, now, for
the second time, the rejection of Mr. Seward,
and the nomination of Mr. Lincoln in his place.
These reasons are obvious. The Charleston
Convention adopted the two-thirds rule—not
two-thirds of the vote as originally intended,
but two-thirds of the whole Convention, from
which fifty delegates had already retired, and
it was therefore believed at Chicago that the
nomination of Mr. Douglas at Baltimore was
impossible. Mr. Lincoln was the opponent
of Mr. Douglas in the late contest in the State
of Illinois for Senator of the United States.—
Mr. Douglas was successful, but with the aid
of the Federal office-holders, who recently
presented their discarded delegates at Charles
ton, the contest was extremely close and
doubtful.
From the facts above stated, it was believed
by the Republicans that Mr. Douglas could
not be nominated at Baltimore, and, there
fore, that Lincoln would certainly receive the
eleven electoral votes of Illinois in November
next. Not only was this calculation made
with regard to Illinois, but also in relation to
Indiana, Ohio, and indeed the whole North
west. Lincoln was nominated on the as
sumption that Douglas could not be nomina
ted by the Democratic Convention at Balti
more, and that if Douglas were discarded,
the whole sixty-six votes of that region would
certainly be given to Mr. Lincoln:
It will be recollected that in 1856 Illinois
and Indiana voted for the Democratic nomi
nee—thus securing his election by the peo
ple—and the intention of the nomination of
Mr. Lincoln is to withdraw these States, to
gether with the whole Northwest, from the
support of the Democratic party in 1860. It
remains to be seen whether the Baltimore
Convention will profit by the facts to which
we have alluded, and, by rejecting the nomi
nation of Mr. Douglas, insure the election of
Mr. Lincoln. It is now quite clear that if
Mr. Douglas, as was believed at Chicago,
should be discarded by the Baltimore Con
vention, Mr. Lincoln's election may be re
garded as certain. Mr. Lincoln has, perhaps,
gone farther than the Republican platform of
1856 against the States of the South. The
great battle between Mr. Lincoln and Mr.
Douglas in the late Senatorial contest in Illi
nois, was on the doctrine that there was, in
reality, an irrepressible conflict between the
slave States of this Union and the free States;
that all must ultimately become slave States
or free, and that the whole moral and politi
cal power of the Government should be used
to make them all free States. This Mr. Doug
las denied, contending that in the future, as
in the past, from soil, climate, productions,
and other causes, there might continue to be
slave States as well as free States, and that
neither the moral nor the political power of
the Government should be used to favor the
one or the other. His doctrine was non-in
tervention by Congress, in States or Territo
ries, and that the problem might be left in
the future, as in the past, to that solution•
which time and circumstances would produce.
He, Mr. Douglas, believed that a perpetual
upion between the slave States and the free
States was practicable. It was denied by
Mr. Lincoln, and this was the great contro
versy between them, in which Mr. Douglas
was successful.
But it is now quite certain that if Mr.
Douglas be rejected by the Democratic Con
vention at Baltimore, Mr. Lincoln will sweep
Illinois, Indiana, and the whole North-west,
and his election by the people, becomes, -per
haps, a forgone conclusion. One thing is
sure, and must be known to the Baltimore
Convention, and that is, that with Douglas
they can triumph; and that, with any other
candidate, defeat is almost inevitable. What
the result may be time will determine. The
Seceders and Disunionists who retired from
the Charleston Convention would, most as
suredly, prefer the election of a Republican
President rather than the success of Mr.
Douglas; but whether this factious, personal
opposition can control the masses of the peo
ple of the Southern States remains to be seen.
It is not doubted that a large majority of the
delegates from the South refused to secede,
and will sustain Mr. Douglas if nominated.—
The Press.
Ought Douglas Withdraw ?
Is a question which is earnestly propoun
ded by many men, whose only ottject we
know is the good of the Democratic party,
and who only seek the perpetuation of its
power. Men whose whole lives have been de
voted to its success, and who have never per
mitted either their love for a man, or their
antipathy to him to prevent them from doing
justice to his merits. When such men in all
sincerity, and with an anxiety which shows
how deeply they are interested in the an
swer, ask the question, then we are willing
to give the best solution in our power to the
question. It is unnecessary for us to revert
to the history of the last three years. It is
unnecessary to refer to the glorious battle
which Stephen A. Douglas has fought almost
single handed for a cardinal principle of De
mocracy. It is unnecessary for us to give
reasons why he has come to be regarded as
the embodiment of that principle. Without
fortune to attract the selfish ; without pat
ronage to reward the place seekers; without
power to attract to him the ambitious, he en
tered the canvass for Presidential honors,
trusting his fate in the hands or-the people.
His flattering success at Charleston shows
that he did not put his trust in his country
men in vain. A clear majority of the dele
gates to that Convention, designated him as
the choice of their constituents, and that ma
jority represented nearly two-thirds of the
entire Democratic vote of the United States.
Throwing aside entirely the great merits or
the man, the question arises, ought a majori
ty submit to the will of a minority ? and
this is the only question to be decided. Is it
Democratic that an obstinate minority should
control a majority? To this question there
can be but one answer.
Then comes the spacious argument that to
restore harmony to the party, the withdraw
al of his name is necessary ; to harmonize
elements that are not willing to submit to
the expressed will of the majority, he must
be sacrificed. That the withdrawal of Doug
las' name after the facts which have been de
veloped, would have that tendency, no sane
man believes. His friends are ardent and
self-sacrificing ; they are not man worship
pers, but regarding him as the embodi
ment of a principle, he is the pole around
which their affections centre. Should he be
sacrificed contrary to the usages of the party,
I. or should he withdraw, will any one pretend
that the strictest party drill could induce the
rank and file of the party to vote for his suc
cessful competitor? We think not. We be
lieve as firmly as we believe in our existence,
that after the facts which have transpired at
Charleston, Douglas is the only living Demo
crat who can carry a Northern or North-west
ern State ; that he is the only Democrat who
can be elected President; that his withdraw
al would be that death-knell of the Democratic
party. Believing this, we think his duty,
and the duty of those delegates who voted
for him at Charleston is a plain one. How
ever willing he may be to sacrifice his per
sonal aspirations, the time for such a sacri
fice has gone by. His withdrawal now would
be regarded as a pusilanimous act, whilst his
desertion by his friends would be a succumb
ing to the insolent demands of men who have
not the welfare of the Democratic party at
heart, which must result fatally to its best
interests.—Ebensburg Mountaineer.
TTIE LUMBER BUSINESS AT WILLIAMSPORT.
—The Lycoming Gazette, in a lengthy ducrip
tion of the recent flood in the West Bnch,
and the loss to the lumbermen of that vicinity
by the breaking of the boom above Williams
port, says
"It is estimated that •fifty million feet of
lumber passed Williamsport—and the best lot
of logs ever floated to this celebrated lumber
depot—their value being about half a million
ofdollars. The mills are not running at pres
ent, and will not be in operation until the re
cent troubles are settled. There yet remains
a portion of the logs in the booms, and we
learn that the majority of lumbermen will
soon go on regularly with their business.—
The loss will be felt more or less by the
whole community. Considering that there
is' less dry lumber in this market now than
there has been at this season for many years,
it will make the price of lumber advance
very much. It is thought that there will be
a sufficient quantity of logs in the booms to
keep the mills running from a third to half of
the manufacturing season. For hundreds of
miles down the river many of the logs have
been picked up. Crews of men have been
sent on to take charge-of them, and the loss
will not be a total one, as the logs will be
sold and sufficient money recovered, together
with the balance of stock here, to enable our
lumbermen to carry on their business. At
the same time the manufacture of lumber
will be put off for two or three months later
than usual."
A VOICE FROM CLARION.—The Democracy
of Clarion county held a meeting on the Bth

Resolved, That lion. Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois,
baying received in the Democratic National Convention, a

Resolved, That we hereby request our Senatorial, and
instruct our Representative delegates to cast their 'votes
for Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, at the adjourned convention
