action to make known their ientimtmt by
holding mei ting', remonstrating CongreM

of States is to be severed, for God's sak
let it bo in peace. There may then be
linnrg of a rs"union, and a restoration of
the frslernol affection that characterized
the people of all sections in those better

ever dragged the human heart down to

A Confession.
Truth l. mighty, and will prevail."
Thi. old adage ha. never been more fully
verified than in the case of our neighbor
of the 'Journal, in hi. last issue. He has
labored with an energy worthy ol a better
cause, for two month, to prove that "the
secession bub-bub in Clearfield borough"
(a. he styled it) extended nowhere else.
But in hi. last iisue he nake. the follow
ing confession :
"There i. no use in any one trying to
elose hi eyes to the real condition of the
country."
