"FIDELITY TO THE PEOPLE
COUDERSPORT, FRIDAY, APRIL .1, 1854
Er England and France have each
declartd war against Russia.
rgi? The article on the first page, en
titled a A Pat on the Back for Brother
Jonathan," is one of great interest.
l There will be a Temperance
Meeting at the Court House on Tuesday
evening of May,Coui t, May 16th. The
address will be delivered the Rev. N.
A. DE Puy, of Wellsborough. A gen
eral attendance is requested.
The Councils of Philadelphia
have at last made a subscription of
$1,000,000 to the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad Company. We trust this im
portant work will now be prosecuted to
completion with as little delay as possible.
Erne name of Douglas has become
so connected with bad faith and dishonor,
that Frederick Douglass, of Rochester,
talks of applying to the Legislature for
a change of name.
Igr Mrs. Francis D. Gage is lectur
ing on Woman's Rights, in the city of
New-Orleansr. Mrs. Ernestine L. Rose
is lecturing itifzWashington, D. C:, on
the same subject.

falls in with it, will meet with - admirers

EP' There are 88 German newspa
pers in the country, nearly all of which
supported the slavery democracy,—and
all but eight have abandoned it on the
Nebraska question.

Snot:• fell in grcat quantity last
Friday; on Sunday night about four
inches more came down. On Monday
the snow was at least fourteen inches
deep on the level,—more than at any
time during the winter.
-U' Our raaders will be gratified to
learn that the Journal is better sustained
than any other paper that has been pub
lished in the county ; and that, in spite
of the difficulty of adopting the cash
system, our list of subscribers is steadily
Incroa!ing
L "If the Pittsburg Dispatch will
tsll its readers what possible good is
likely to come of the passage of the
House liquor bill, we shall then under
stand ifs advice to the Senate to recede.
But at present we are as!onished at its
advice, and heartily rejoice that the
Senate insisted on its own bill.
"Speak, that I my see thee,"
was a wise request ; hut the, expression
of the countenance is more to be relied
on than the voice of the speaker. Mar
tial forcibly says :
Thy beard and head are of a 'different dye,
short of one (not. distorted in an eye:
With all these tokens of n mun complete.
Shonldst thou: be hemest,. thou 'rt a devilish
cheat."
M"' The present Term at the Acad
emy opened on Wednesday morning
last with fair prospects. Thirty-ore
students answered to their names at the
first call of the roll, and • there are 'at
least a dozen more who will commence
on Monday next. This is promising as
to numbers, but a still more encouraging
feature about the school, is the deep
interest which nearly every scholar
manifests iu its exercises. If we only
could persuade more of the parents to
look in and see the bright happy faces
of their children, we are very sure it
would be to the mutual advantage of all
concerned.
I. The Susquehanna Register has
again made its appearance. The Regis
ter office '.was burned on the 12th of
March last. The type and fixtures were
all lost, and we must therefore conclude
that the editor is blessed with a hest of
good subscribers, for he comes out with
his paper looking fresher and better than
(tier before. The Register is now the
largest paper printed in Northern Penn
sylvania, except the Erie Gazette.—
We would, however, suggest, in all
kindness, to both of these papers, that
size is not the chief merit of a newspaper.
We think the mass of the newspapers in
this State lack life, energy, and inde
pendence, rather than bulk.
Cir •' A faithful friend is a strong
defense, anal he that bath found such an
one bath found a treasure."
The Maine Law Defeated In Penn
sylvania by Pretended Friends.
At last we have something definite
and reliable in relation to the action of
our Legislature on the Prohibitory
Liquor Bill. The defection of Senator
Price was so sudden and ur.expected
that it was thought the Maine Law,
could not pass the Senate. But after a
few days' delay, the Inci nis of the good
cause rallied, and passed throtigh the
Senate as an amendment to the House
bill, a very good law which is mild
enough to be acceptable to any man
who is at heart •in f.tvor of temperance ;
but Senator Price opposed it at every
stage, and stood shoulder to shoulder
with the most inveterate enemies of the
temperance cause. But it passed in
spite of the Price defection and was
sent to the House, where it came up for
action on the sth of April, and was de-
feated by the following vote ,

That is the second time John B. Beck
has assisted to defeat the Maine Law
during the session. We hope the tem
perance Democrats will make a note of
this - vote and 'remember it at the polls.
We are glad to see the name of our
other member recorded among the yeas.
Mr. Eldred was reputed to be an honest
Maine Law man, last fall. We doubted
it at the time, but take great pleasure in
putting him right before our readers.
Mr. Lowrey of Pop has voted just as
the temperance Democrats of his county
said he would, with the enemies.of terh
perance. The opposition to him •is
fully justified by his course, and his
vote is another evidence that noMan
Who thinks more of party tha - n of prin
ciple, can be safely trusted by temper
ance men.
The Germans Taking Position.
One of the most encouraging features
of the present movement to prevent the
extension' of slavery, is the unaninimity
with which the German population op
pose the repeal of the Missouri Compro
mise. The following article from the
Pittsburg, Dispatch is full of cheering
significalce
As MOST SJOSINICANT of the feeling
among our German fellow-citizens, we
rejoice in the announcement through
the columns of the “Pittsburgher Cou
rier" of yesterday, that the 510013
Zeitunz, lately published by Mr. W.
H. Mueller, has been transferred to
Messrs. Backofen and Bauer of the
Courier, and will -be merged in -that
paper. which, under the new arrange
ment, will be hereafter cognected as an
Anti Nebraska and thoroughly Free
Soil organ. The Stoats Zeitung was
a Whig organ, the Courier a Democratic
one.. The new Pittsburgher Courier
und West Pennsyl.. Stoats Zeitung
Will be published daily and weekly.
The ligns are indeed glorious when the
German-Americans are thus wheeling
into the Free Democratic ranks. Suc
cess -to • Slessrs. Backofen & Bauer in
their new enterprise.
It appears to be perfectly well under
stood (and we rejoice thereat) by our
German fellow-citizens, that to admit
slavery into Netiraska, Kanzas, or other
portions of the national domain, is virtu
ally to exclude free white laborers—for'
white loborers, in . such circumstances,
must not only compete with the unpaid
slave laborer, but be degraded, in the
eyes of the tyrant masters, to or even
below the social standing of the slave.
Let Nebraska and Kanzas be given up
to the Slave Power, and the end will be
that every foot of national domain yet
unorganized will be planted with the
accursed seed of injustice, oppression,
and human . degradation. Not a spot
will be left where a laboring freeman,
white or black, will be regarded even as
the equal of favorite "body servant"
of a slave-holding aristocrat,. while, in
the competition with unpaid labor, the
white a ,, riculturist mast encounter im
mense oildds.
gar " Women were formed to temper
mankind, and soothe them into tender
ness and compassion; not to set an edge
on their minds, and blow' up in them
those passions which are too apt to rise
of their own accord."
The position of the Bigler Party.
If a vote was taken in this county on
the question of repealing the Missouri
Compromise, there would not b e votes
enough in favor of that meastre to make
it interesting. And yet we foresee that
quite a number will vote at the very
next election so as to promote this.very
repeal, and to aid the Slave Power in
its scheme of conquest anit subjugation.
We hope our readers will endeavor to
lay before their- neighbors who desire to
act against the extension of Slavery, the
facts- which go to show that a vote for
Bigler will be a vote to repeal the Alia
souri Compromise. For instance, the
administration papers admit that the
elections in New Hampshire and Con
necticut. damaged the Nebraska. bill
very seriously. Just so it will- be in this
State. If Bigler is elected by the usual
majority, the advocates of ahe Douglas
fraud will claim that the people of the I
State have endorsed this inivuity, and
so a • vote for Bigler will be a vote
for Slavery.
The papers in Pennsylvania 'which
advocate the 'election- of Bigler with
three or four exceptions, advocate the
passage of the Douglas bill. The only
exceptions to the rule so far as‘we
know are as follows ; the Montrose
Democrat. Bradford Reporter and War
ran Ledger. One. or two others. are
on the fence, deliberating whether to
serve the people or the administration.
But the great mass of papers that
display the Bigler flag, also' carry the
black flag of slavery.
. Now it.is certain that three-fourths of
the voters of this State have no sympa=
thy with this iniquitous scheme to- cheat
freedom out of the boon conceded to her
in consideration of the admission. of a
slave State. We believe that a large
majority will enter their; protest against
it at the polis, if the friends of freedom
do their duty, and place the facts before
the people - for their consideration.—
Reader,*this ,last is a work in which
you have something to do. If you de
sire the supremacy of the principles of
freedom, let your acts be.a living wit
ness of the strength of that desire. - You
have a neighbor who has paid no atten
tion to this subject. Reason with him,
and get him to. take and read some
paper that advocates the maintainance
o f plighted . faith, and the overthrow of
the Slave Power,
The lollueoce of Slavery.
At the North the press is free to dis
cuss any and all subj , cts. Ii may even
La...ly assert that the place where it is
published has a bad character, Lti.L c
crime on the calendar is winked at by
its neighbors; and rte/excitement will be
produced by such declarations. because
there is no truth in them, and because
'intelligent, honest men are in favor of
maintaining the freedom of the press,
believing that error of opinion may be
.sofely tolerated while reason is left free
to combat it. But such is not the case
wherever slavery has existed for any
length of time. Throughou: the slave
States the press is muzzled, and free
dom of speech is denied. It is very
certain that a free press would soon
destroy slavery, hence the ..indignation"
meeting
.lately . held in Wheeling be
cause one of the papers of that city had
the hardihood to express doubts of the
divinity of the peculiar institution:
. We take the following account of this
meeting from the 7'rue .Bmerican. It
will be seen that the Wheeling indigna
tion meeting came out about as the one
did which certain .champions of the
character of Coudersport gal up to de
nounce the People's Journal for stating
a fact in relation to some"horse theives.
The result of this Wheeling meeting
is highly encouraging, for while it
'shows that the slaveholders and their
tools did their best 'to "crush out" a
free press in that city, it also shows that
there is -independence and manliness
enough there to sustain the able editor
of the Times in his opposition to the
drspotism of slavery. -
Says the True .11merican:
A few months since, the people voted
by a large majority, to grant no license
to sell liquor within the City. This
subject came up in some form before.
the Virginia Legislature. There they
raised the hue and cry of "Abolition
ism,' "Maine Law," and Northern
Fanaticism," and passed a law, taking
from dm people of the City the right to
refuse to grant license. One of the dai
ly papers, (the Wheeling Times and
Gazelle) which is opposed to the-Ne
braska swindle, spoke eut boldly against
the course taken by the Legislature,
and denounced it as tyrannical. But
the crack of the plantation whip brought
to the aid of the Legislature the press of
the State, and with them the other three
daily papers in Wheeling, which de-
I nounced the Times and Gazette ns an
Abolitionist, as a Traitor to the ~ S acred
institutions of our forefathers," a free
sailer, an anti-Virginian,•&c., fzx".
They have also taken occasion from
this to traduce and abuse Northern men,
Northern principles, the 'Yankees in
general, and Massachusetts clergymen
in particular. The startling annuncia:
tion that a free Boiler was in their
midst resulted in a call for a meeting,
without distinction of party, to denounce
and condemn the traitor.
When the meeting came, a number
of resolutions were introduced condemn
ing the offending Editor., But Mr.
Wharton gotr the floor, and manfully de
fended his course, and the citizens of
WheEling voted that " they, would have
and sustain one independent paper ,
which did not fear boldly to speak the
truth."
Pulling Back the Day of Emanel-
palion.
This stale assertion continues to be
made by a few 'Rip. Van Winkles, in
relation to- the efforts of anti-slavery
men to open the eyes . of this Nation to
the encroachments of slavery. Such
men never produce tiny proof to sustain
their silly assertion, for the simple rea
son that none exists. The slaves of the
South never were treated so well as now.
Emancipation by will and otherwise
never so common as within the. last few
years.. The conscience of the South
begins to be reached, and when North
ern men cease to defend and approve
the institution of slavery, it will • cease to
exist. Even now, with all the effort of
Northern serviles to make the slave
holders believe that their
of
is
respectable, a goad many of them sus
pect that if the devil ever lays his hand
on any one, it be on those] . who
make no effort to repair the great in
justice done their slaves. As an evi
dence of this . working of the Southern
'conscience take the following, tvhich we
clip ftom one of our exchanges
We learn from the Cincinnati Times,
that Mr. Christy, agent of the Coloniza
tion Society, has been offered a group
of slaves in one of the southern states,
valued at $15.000. The owner cannot
eliittnciPate them where he lives, and
must remove them to some other State
to effect his purpose.
In view of the uncertainties fittepding,
the execution of wills, in reference to
slave property, and • the liability of his
slaves being scattered after his death,
he thus closes his appeal to Mr. Christy :
"I abhor the thought of their being sold
after my death. My reason for. wish
ing to emancipate them now is; I don't
wish the devil to get my soul, and the
lawyers my money. Pity me, for Je,
sus's sake, and give me good counsel.
Your brother in Christ."
Mr. C. has accepted the offer.
Public Sentiment in St. Louis.
The following article from the St.
Luuis Dolly Deliwcrerf .c,,ntrasts favor
ably with the tame and cowardly articles
which appear in the administration Ra
pers of this . State. Read it, and see
how an independent Southern Man ex
presses' himself on the Douglas -fraud,.
and its authors:
' , Look at the results of Douglas's
bill. The object which ostensibly -it
purported to accomplish, but which in
reality it intended to prevent and which
all men interested in the Territories
deemed certain and near at hand, has
receded far into the future, and instead
of a certainty; has become a possibility.
Unless a counter movement takes place
in Congress immediately, we assert that
the interests of the Union, and those of
Missouri in particular, involved in the
speedy construction of - the Pacific Rail
road, will have been set back for years.
Progress will run awry, and_ legitimate
enterprise will turn from the great un
dertaking in which it has toiled with
such success, and degenerate into Walk
er expeditions. Shut out the great and
wild but teeming•territories of the West
from the eagle eye of enterprise, and it
will • bend its gaze upon the South.
Debar it from using the implements of
industry, and it will take to its heirt the
ethics and to its hands the weapons of
fillibusterism. Who will be responsible
for this? Undoubtedly the men whom
we h - ave named. Already they have
applied a galvanic battery, in the' shape
of a proposition to repeal the. Missouri
Compromise, to the most seniitive nerve
in the-system, and the whole•body pol
itic has thrilled and shaken under the
reckless experiment. It is true the
result will be as fatal to the fortunes of
the authors of the bill as td the material .
and moral interests of the West. The
infirm ambition of Stephen Arnold Doug
)as could now as easily make
,hini . Czar
of all the Russias as President of the
United States. Senator Atchinson, on
whose spirit is the shadow of the.com- .
ing event, is contemplating emigrating
with his household, composed, we be
lieve, exclusively of negroes. tiV d
should be sorry to say that the people of
Platte County or the bush-rangers of
Texas will suffer by the transfer of the
Vice President's household gods. ' But
the Administration has also suffered, for
it grappled with the spirit of Freedom,
and, like Jacob wrestling with the angel,
it has been crippled in the contest.
I2P" "Trust not too much to an en
chanting face."
The Position of Judge Pollock,
The following correspondence throws
tructakliglit on the affinities of the Whig
candidate 1 for Governor: We ask our
readers to 'note the nea-commital policy
which has:been Marked out. The Whig
Conventioh doubtless thought that a
resolutioa;against the Nebraska iniquity
would catch all opponents of Slave:y,
and-that the following, the second in the
series, and the 2 . 4011,1 kided to in Mr.
Howe's fifth question, would satisfy the
pro-slavery Whigs :
Resolved, That to preserve the Na
tional Union ought to be the • highest
ambition of the American citizen, and
that all attempts to weaken the. affection
of 'the people for its continuance and
maintenance, to violate its compromises
or to produce discussions of its value and
efficacy, should be indignantly frowned
down as a species of moral treason.
The above was doubtless intended to
endorse the Baltimore 'platform, the
Fugitive Slave - bull, and kindred meas
ures. We rejoice that the Hon. Jons
W. Flows and the live Whigs.of Craw
ford are not disposed to sustain any such
equivocal Policy. The times demand an
open, avowed, and delermined opponent
of the Slave Power for Governor; and
if the independent press does its duty,
we shall have such an one.
•The foaming is the correspondence
alluded togas we found it in the Erie
True .thnerican ; "
MEADVILLE, April 11, 185 , 1.
Messrs. HAYS &SACKETT,
Gulls :1 Soon after the receipt of the
intelligence of the nomination of James
Pollock, Ilread in-a Pittsburg daily (I
believe the Gazelle) that Mr. Pollock
was a native of Milton, Northumberland
county, Where - he now resides, that he
-Was a scholbr, a gentleman, of good
moral character, a lawyer, an ex-member
of Congress, ex Judge, a member of
some Presbyterian church, and anti
slavery to : the backbone. Believing it
to be'all true, I ventured to address him
a letter, of which the accompanying is
a copy,and . which t l seriously apprehend
has been crushed out." That Mr.
Pulliick is ;all and some more than was
in the'bil4 1 have no doubt, but think
the anti-slavery vein does not lie quite
so,deep as. the backbone, or if it does, it
has some.ipinal affection.
Win yciu give this and that one in
sertion in your live paper.
Yours truly.

IkIEADVILLE, March 22, 1854.
PoI.LOCK,
Sir: Ac you are the Whig nominee
for the Gdbernatorial office, I be ,, to take.
the libertY to ask - the' following direct
questions, which I pray you will. be
pltiased tolanswer with equal directness.
Ist. Dolyou "receive and acquiesce
in the series of acts of the 31st Congress,
commonly known as the compromise or
adjustment. (the act for the recovery oil
fugitives from labor included) as a final
settlement:, in principle and substance,
of the subjects to which they relater
2d. And so far as These acts are con
cerned, will you " maintain them, and
insist on their strict enforcement 1"
.3d. Do iyou "deprecate all further
agitation of. the question thus settled, as
dangerous to' our peace, and will you
liscounte'pance all efforts to continue or
renew such agitations, whenever, where. !
over, or however made ?"
4th. ." Will You maintain this settle
ment as essential_ to the nationality of
the Whiff party and. the integrity of the
Union ?"
,sih. Do you fully .endorse and abide
by 4// the doctrine laid down in the
second resolution passed by the conven
.tion at which you were twiiiiiiated ?
' The objeCt of my inquiry will be ob
vious to you, when I say there :fie in
this single county about one thousand
NORTHERN MEN who have not, as
yet, been able to conquer their'prejudices
against the doctrine laid .down in the
eighth section of thle (Whig) Baltimore
Platform, and clearly recognizAl inter
aliain the second resolution, to which
I haVe refeired . in my fifth interrogatory.
to you. With much respect, lam your
ob'L servant; JOHN W. HOWE.
fiSipiatier Sovereignly."
The frienis and apologists of the
Nebraska bill talk very loudly about the
principle of permitting the People of the
Territories to frame their own,system of
government, and enact their Own laws,
permitting or excluding slavery as they
may think best. This, they say is the
principal feature of the bill, about which
so much' complaint has been made.
Let'us see for a. - moment-whether this is
so. The Nebraska bill repeals the Mis
souri-Cornprotnise, Which for more than
a third of a century has been conse
crated to freedom. No one can for a
moment doubt but that the object and
aim .of this repeal is to permit slave
holders to take slaves into the Territory,
and .;to invite them to do so. If any
doubt existed on the subject, it would be
dissipated by a reference to the pro
ceedinv in the Senate, when the bill
was , under consideration. When the
bill was about to be engrossed, Mr.
CHASE offered an amendment providing
that the people of the Territory should
have the right if they should see fit, to
exclude sktveryi from the Territory.
This 'was promptly voted down—yeas
10, nays 36 ! as follow i
YEAS.—Messrs. Chase, Dodge of
Wisconsin, Fessenden, Fish, Foot, Ham
lin, Seward, Sumner, and Wade -10.

Fitzpatrick, Gwin, Houston, Hunter,
Johnson, Jones of lowa, Jones of Ten
nessee, Mason, Morton, Norris, Rusk,
Pettit, Sebastian, Shields, Slidell, Stuart,
Toucy, Walker, and Williams.-28.
In the face of this vote we find men
every day saying it leaves the whole
matter with the people of the Territories,
and strange as it may appear, they
make some few people believe it !—
