CLEARFIELD , OC'2’. 21, 1853^
The Late Represeptplire Election, ilgnin.
'Tho attitude and action of the Democrat
ic party of.Clonrfield county in the election
of a representative, being entirely new, wo
/jtesiro at tbi? time to put a few additional
facts upon record in justification of their
S .course, a 9 wc liave no doubt tho election of
Mr.’ Caldwell will be brought up in judgo
naent against tJio Democracy of this coun
ty, as on acl of disorganization.
. The district composed of Clearfield, Eik
and McKonn was formed in 1849. In 1850,
Mr. Hemphill, having served ono year from
.Clearfield, after quite a contest ut Ridg
wny, and after exhaustingovery argument
and urging tho largely preponderating pop
ulation of our county, over both tho others,
Mr. Hemphill only socured tho nomina
tion by a positive—though not written—
yet not tho less clear and distinct under
standing—that Clearfield would not again
claim tho member until both Elk and Mc-
Kean should each ha vo ono year; or in oth
or.-words, that tho district should adopt the
one term system. Tho members of that
convention will each acknowledge tho truth
<of this statement.
• In 1851, Clearfield in good faith, urged
no cnndidnte, and Judge Gillis ofEik, was
nominated and received the party vote of
our county.
In a Senator was to bo elected.—
The three counties forming tho representa
tive district, formed part of the Senatorial
.district. McKean was clearly entitled to the
representative, and again Clearfield, by her
bounty Convention, presented no claim to
the representative. But she did for tho
JSoljatp/', and to which her claim was as
good as thntofany other county in,tho dis
trict* A worthy gentleman of McKean
Was nominated for tho Senate. It was then
thought that McKean would ccrtajnly not
psk the Representative also, and our dele
gates in the Representative convention pre
sented the names of dificrent democrats of
pur county, the nomination of either of
tvhom would have given satisfaction to our
county. But contrary to all expectations
£ cilice# of McKean, and a very worthy
jnap, was nominated. This was only sus
tained by the most active exertions of those
jvbo are always ready to make any reason
able sacrifice to prpsor.vc tpo har/nony of
jhe party, opd the most confident assuranco
tjiot this full tho member would he volun
tarily conceded to us. These assurances
•jvero made under tho impression that our
porthern friends would remain faithful
fo their implied pledges, and 'do as they
.jyould have others do.’ They were assured
,jn the most positive terms, that in no prob
jtplo e.vept, would tho people of Clearfield
Apunty -submit to a repetition of such treat
ment, and that it wpu.ld be dangerous to
Attempt it.
;i la 1853, our county, in convention, pre
. APB ted ono of the most unexceptionable of
-jtqr. citizens, and with a unanimity* seldom
jtqualLecl, Conferees were appointed, hut
.through a misapprehension, unintentional
hpweyer, on the part of a distinguished cit
tjsen of Elk county, as to tho time of meet
ing at Ridgwuy,our delegates did not at
tend, Those of the other two counties did
.Bltet, and tho inference is clear, from their
proceedings, that a strong desire
to carry out in good fuith, although
datp,' tho understanding had in the convcn
'tion of 1850. Another day was appointed
-to afford Clearfield on opportunity to ap
pear and claim what seemed to be volun
tarily offered. The day arrived, a full con
vention assembled, and our readers know
ih6 rest.
1 These are all the (acts in the history of
'lhis affair, and we are willing that the fi
delity ofthe Democracy of Clearfield coun
ty, shall be tried by them. A number of
g6od democrats here were after all, in fa
ctor of supporting tho nomination of Mr.
.Arnold, inasmuch as pur Conferees had
jrent into the Convention. But tho mass
'plThe people felt that there was no virtue
'jb such treatment, and therefore
’jfiey took the. matter in their own hands,
[ bnd wo seo the result.
“ But it seems that the objection on the part
'bf'Bl l ei > st one of the Delegates of Elk
county, was not to the claim of our coun
bv but to our candidate , for it seems that
willing to nominate a Clearfield
JBrtn, and the only tpoublo wjtfi fiim wob
jJvR ho and the people of Clearfield county

new feature attempted to be introduced in
itoijiifcdistrict conventions. Perhaps wo

MW* fce.reafler, ~
.‘Tjvs only.objection wo have heard urged
■fgainst the.cJaim of our county, is tho fact
dhat itiis the home pf .Gov. BIGLER, nnd

ilfii this .fact has any weight at all, it is de

tofvohad.no part lioflot in the matter that

The Growing greatness of mr Country.
Those who do not give particular atten
tion to the subjoct, nnd compare the fig
ure* of the present with the figures or for
mcr yeurs—have but a very imperfect
idea of tlwinorcnsiriggreutnoss ofourcoun
try in a commercial point of view, both ns
regards her domesliennd her foreign trade.
Our country is now fairly on the high-way
to commercial supremacy, and is advanc
ing with railroad speed.
A glance at tjio statement of the Wash
ington Union's Now York Commercial
correspondent, (a perfectly reliable au
thority,) under date of October 4, 1853,
will convince tho most skepticul of the
truth of what wo say. Wo here find that
for tho month of September, tho imports
at the port of New York, amounted to
§15,710,350 —being an increase of nearly
four millions oyer last year. Of this in
crease, dry goods are the largest, being
nearly double that of any former year—
whilst specie also shows a handsoma in
crease.
For tho same period, the exports of do
mestic produco, including §1,244,191 of
specie, were §7,413,407, againstss,Bs7,-
990, including 2,252,495 of specio of last
year.
Now, according to tho theory oflhe pro-
I tectionists, who used to preach to us so
[lustily and so arrogantly about tho balance
of trade, this wide difference between our
imports and exports will Imvo to bo bal
anced with specie. Yet the figures show,
that, whilst the importations go on steadily
increasing, und tho domestic exports in
creasing in a corresponding degree, yet
the spocie item in these oxports have great
ly decreased. This decrease, it must be
remembered, is not for the want of specie.
Tho supply from California continues still
on tho increnso. For the nino months end
ing with September last, the gold deposit
ed at the mint in Philadelphia, amounted
to $40,7(515,620 being an increase of $6,-
404,335, over tho coresponding nine months
of 1853. During tho same time the ex
portation of gold amounted to $10,195,-
117—or $4,920,751 less than for the cor
responding nine months of 1853—and add
ing no less than $11,385,088 toourspecie
currency, or a littlo more than one million
por month.
From these figures, it is very clear that
our government is in a sound financial con
dition, with evory prospect of its continu
ing to improvo. But is this all 7 Are the
people of the interior of the country —the
furming, manufacturing and mechanical
interests of the country to receive no ben
efit, besides that which they derivo indirect
ly from the government? Wo will let the
correspondent of the Union answer this
question in his own words: Ho says, in
speaking of the revenuo from imports:
•‘During the nine months since January
1, 1863, the excess of receipts at this (N.
York) port has been 0ver524,500,000.
The specie in tho bank and sub-treasury
in this city, January 1, was $12,905,37*4;
at tho close of September it was $20,200,-
807, of which tho treasury held $9,819,-
882, subject to draft. Thus, of the whole
excess of $24,500,000 receipts, tho hanks
retained $2,500,000, thetreasury $0,400,-
000, and the balance $15,810,000, has
passed into circulation, absorbed by in
creased truffle of theinlerior,notwithstand
ing tho notions entertained about over
trading—a notion which rests on the fact
that the business of tho country is greater
than wlmt we have been accustomed to.”
But why, it may be asked, do we see no
evidenco of this increase in the amount of
I
gold in circulation 7 If the above figures
give the truth, surely a large portion of
this $15,800,000, has’Been paid in ex
change for the produce of Pennsylvania,
among which the lumber from the West
Branch of the Susquehanna is not the most
inconsiderable item—yet we havo no evi
dence of an increase of gold in our busi
ness transactions. The reason is very
clear. If the quantity was increased ten
fold, with the same amount of paper mo
ney—with their present denominations—
the result would bo the same. Our rag
money is still as abundant as ever, to the
/disgrace of our State for allowing her stat
utes to be contemptuously disregarded for
the benefit of banks and stock-jobbers of
other States. Let the law prohibiting the
circulation of small notes of banks of other
States—bo strictly enforced—Jet our own
banks be prohibited tho issuing of notes of
a less denomination than five dollars , nnd
let tho prosont relief notes continue to be
cancelled, without any more re-issues, and
then wo may expect to have a share of
| this growing greatness of our common
jeouptry. .Until nil this is done tho labor
ing'and producing classes must bo content
Jo bo “hewers of wood and drawers of wt»-
Ipr” fqr those who, if not better, ore cor
taiply more wise, os regards their own in
terests. 1

! The Result of the Election.
By reference to the election returns of
this county, which can be found in another
portion of to-dayV paper, it will be seen
that the entire State ticket has been tri
umphantly sustained by the Democracy of
.Clearfield. The majority far Knox being
1)29, banks 789, Brawley 740, and For
syth’s majority beyig 700, the same as
tliut given to Bigler (or Governor, and tho
same also, ns that given to Pierco and
King last fall. There was but a small vote
out—but judging from tho returns one
would bo led to believe that (litre was a
respectable number of democrats among
those at tho polls, as the majorities for tho
Slate ticket, with tho exception of Forßyth,
are larger than ever beforo given for any
Democratic candidate.
For Assembly, Alexander Caldwell, the
candidate of Clearfield county, and tho
nominee of the Democratic County Con
vention, has 980 majority over Aaron S.
Arnold, the nominco of the Ridgeway Con
vention. It is conceded by nil parties here,
that Mr. Caldwell is elected. We shall
no d°ubt hear from Elk and M’Kean be
fore the timo of meeting of tho Legiclaturo,
and wo shall then know all about it.
Tho whole Democratic county ticket
with the exception of County Survoyor, is
cloctod.
THE MURDER,
Tho two persons who werearrostod and
committed to juil on Wednesday tho 12th
instant, on a charge of boing interested in,
or having a knowledge of tho murder of
Mr. Conklin, wero taken out on a writ of
habeas corpus, on Saturday last, and had
a hearing beforo his Honor Judge Hovt,
and wero admitted to bail, ono in tho sum
of $2,000, and the other 81,000 for their
appearance at court.
Since the publication of our last paper,
facts havo been rovcalcd which provo con
clusively that Wm. M’Alay, the porson
first suspected, is the perpetrator of this
.bloody deed, or at least the principal actor
in the scene.
M'Alay as wo stated before, left imme
[diafely,on hearing that Mr. Conklin was
dead. Sheriff Powell and others have
been dilligent in their search for him, but
so far unsuccessful. A report reached us
last night however, by n passenger in the
stage, that the citizens of Ebensburg have
arrested and confined a person answering
the description given of him. It is possi
ble too l)iat this report is correct, and they
havo arrested the right person, ns ho wae
last seen within ten or twelve miles of that
place, heading that way.
But fearful that the report may be incor
rect and tho perpetrator of this horrible
crime still at large, we givo the following
description of him, and request our ex
changes to copy the same, that ho may, if
in tho United States, be brought to justice.
WiUia?n M'Alay, the murderer, is an
Irishman, about 25 years old, about 5 feet
8 inches high, heavy sett, ruddy complex
ion, dark Brown hair, with a small scar on
his forehead, and holds his head a little to
tho right. He had on a black tight body
coat, black pants and black vest. Tuo
hundred dollars is ofTcred for his nrrest
and delivery at tho jail in Clearfield—or
lu-enly dollars will bo paid for his arrest
and detention
Mr. Conklin, tho murdered man, was
about 60 years of oge, instead of 50 as we
stated in our last. It appears tjjint Mr-
Conklin had snid something concerningthe
Catholic Church, of which M’Alay profess
ed to bo a member, at which ho took of
fence, and caught and kicked him in Mr.
Hemphill’s barr room at the timo the of
fence was given, but being compelled to de
sist by those present, awaited an opportu
nity and caught him out and struck the
i fatal blow. Mr. Conklin was carried back
to Hemphilll’s hotel, where he revivedsuffi
cientlv to make known that jpme person had
him, unawares,” but who it was
he knew not. ; It is even snid that ho re
covered sufficiently to be able to walk up
stairs to bed, and the impression was that
hp was not seriously injured, and no med-’
ical aid was sent for, nor further attention
paid to him until tho next morning, when
it was found that lifo had,fled.
Many of our citizens are bold in attrib
uting tho perpetration of this dark apd
damnable crimo to tho too freo uso and
distribution of ardent spirits on the occa
sion—a chargo which is not altogether un
founded. While it can bo said of somo
of our hotels, that on this, as well as all
other occasions, they havo kept strictly
within tho founds of tho law—thore are
others who, if they Jjnyo not gono beyond
the limits prescribed, have certainly stretch
ed it to its utmost tensions.

by M. George Sackett, has boon received,

met at the Asky school houso, on Saturday
evening tho Ist inst. Perry John Lucas,
was appointed President, Wm, Holt, Esq.,
nnd William Askey, Vico Presidents, snd
William Stewart Secretary.
Dr. James Irwin addressed the meeting
at some length, portraying in a forcible and
eloquent manner tho grievances and inju
rious results and injustice of floating loose
logs: —When on motion, a Committee of
twelve, were appointed to report resolutions
expressive of the scoso nnd object of the
meeting—whereupon, Dr. James Irwin
and eleven others were appointed, which i
Committee, through their Chairman repor
ted the following preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, The floating of loose saw logs
in tho Mushannon creek, offer a total ob
struction to lumbering in tho old and appro
ved manner—thereby rendering the sel
lers of the country idlo spectators of the
wholesale havoc. And whereqs, the Leg
islature ofPennsylvnnin, has been appealed
to by nlmost general acclamation by the
citizens interested in the navigation of the
Mushannon, ns well as other navigable
tributaries of the Susquehanna, without re
ceiving from that body the protection which
justice nnd sound policy demands. It is
therefore
Resolved, That wo will no longer submit
to the obstruction to our business and de
struction to our property which is occa
sioned by the floating of loose saw logs in
the Mushannon creek.
Resolved, That any person or persons
engaged in log floating, or aid and abet in
tho same, arc not just to their neighbors
nor true to the best interests of the coun
try. »
Resolved, That while wo are desirous of
having a peaceable adjustment of this busi
ness, we are nevertheless determined that
at all hnzards to our persons and property,
tho floating of loose saw logs in the Mu
shannon creek, shallfrom this night cease.
Resolved, That a committee of twelve bo
appointed to proceed up tho Muslmnnon
creek, and wait upon those persons who
may be found engaged in cutting logs and
preparing to float in the Mushannon creek,
and in an orderly and peaceable manner in
from them of the proceedings of this meet
ing.
Whereupon John Askoy and eleven oth
ers wero appointed said Committee.
Resolved, That a Committee of forty be
appointed to enforce the laws declaring tho
Mushannon creeks public highways—and
that it shull be further, the duly of said
Committee to remove from said streams all
loose logs thrown therein for the purpose
of floating, and to take such measures,
“peaceably if they ean” but forcicly if ne
cessary, ns will prevent the navigation of
said streams from being obstructed : and
this meeting hereby pledge itself to aid and
assist said Committee in the discharge of
such measures ns it may be found neces
sary to adopt, to carry these resolutions
fully into effect.
Whdreupon William Holt, Esq., and
thirty-nine other persons wero appointed
said Committee.
On motion, Resolved, That the erection,
and extension from time to time, of a num
ber of Booms ucross tho channel of the
Susquehanna river, have obstructed the
navigation and become a nuisance, causing
detention and great risk in running lumber
to market. This meeting therefore, call up
on the lumbermen of Clearfield and Elk
counties to give their aid in taking such
measures as will remove such obstructions
and abate such nuisances.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
meeting bo signed by tne officers and pub
lished in the Clearifield Republican, Centre
Democrat and Democratic Whig of Belle
fonte, and Tribuno, Lock Haven.
