D. W. Mooai, Esq , Dear Sir When
Ibe Ittpullican containing Col. Campbell's
letter was received at this place I was not
at homo, or I think I ahould have been
templed to reply to it.
As it is I want to say a fow words to
you. I know that the Colonel, as woll as
the Journal, alias II. B. Swoopc, Esq., are
charging that I did not volo for Mr. Lin
coln hence one great point in writing
this loiter. It is to bring me into disre
pute with the Democratio patty, andde-
troy what friends I may have among the
vi'uuuiuu. -imiuuv entering luio a
I. ... . , . . .
lengthty review of Col. Campbe l'a letter
I will notice a few of its most nrominoM
features. lie says that I "had frorp. tima
o ica reported the impossibility of ob
taining aid or assistance frorr, thq luhabi
lantt in the prosecution 0f Vis (my) iV
ties, that, on the contrary deserters end
non-reporting drafted caen were secreted,
harbored and eroyed -m defiance of
me laws, dj msny (influential titiieni-.
that hi myj 0ffwrts mut prove fruitless
tt1nCM sustained by a military force and
thai he (I) bad been repeatedly fired upon
(While in tho execution of his (my) duty."
It is true that I did report "the impossi
bility of obtaining aid or assistance," not
'from the inhabitants at large, but from
i4he Republican party. I do not suppose
that there was another officer appointed
by the present administration so feebly
.sustained by the parly as I was. There
but three or four Republicans that'ment, when the precceding fever is at its
gave me anything like assistance, and as
for asking Democrats, it was too much
like asking a man to be his own execution
er. The only instance in which I em
ployed a Democrat, he did his duty choer
fully, and I believe faithfully. But, alas
for himhow much better It would have
been had be "touched not the unclean
thing." Samuel Louneberry will have
causo to remombor to his dying day that
lie was an employee of tho Government.
Again, "deserters and non-reporling
drafted men were secreted, harbored and
employed by citizens," "not many in
fluential." These words were added to
my report. ' I was advised to arrest these
men and hand them over to lho U.S.
Marshal at Pittsburg.
The deserters of most notorioty at that
time in the county were Tom. Adam and
Jim. McKee. It was patent that they
185G.
were employed by some one. A. T. Ma
son and myeeir, left Clearfield town
morning, with tho intention of arresting
knowledgmont I arrested Mr';Jaccb Heed
m having had them employed. I then
knew nothing about the man or his poli
tics, nor did I care. All I wished to do
was to break up the nest of those bad
mon, danis and McKee. I took Mr.
Rpeil tit PiII.Iim.. ..J I 1 . .
- - uv.( uul ou Uli own ac-
- -'"""s nun iittnaeu mm over
to tho District Attorney. About tho first
noru mo Attorney asked me was, "Is this
man a copperhead ?" I said since arrest
ing him-ho tolls ma he is a Republican.
He replied by saying, "this is not the
kind of men we are after. Wo want an
out spoken Copperhead, one that is oppo
sed to tho drafi" or words to this effect
He then asked Mr. Reed if he know any
such man. Reed said he did, and upon
bis making oath against Mr. Geo. SIoss as
the kind of man wanted, and his having
done the same thing that Reed was arres-
lui.uir, ugjj WM permillo'l
turn homo.
When I fouud ihat nc

- prosecutej I maJe no mora nr.
V.otS.
lje fact is I do not know of one
Well-authenticated caso of a Democrat
" lecret ing, harboring or employing deser
ters, or non-reporling drafted men." You
yourself know it was curiently reported
and believed at Clcarfiuld town that Ellis
Irvin, a Republican, harbored and em
ployed Oscar Shirely, a deserter, and Jos
eph Lansberry, a non-reporting drafted
man. And tho oiy time not repeatedly
I was " fired upon," was by Lansberrv.
whom I had just found in the employ of
a ttepuuiican. Again. It is truo that 1
told the Colonel that my "efforts must
prove fruition" in the arrest of de.crters
" unless sustainod by a military force."
Tho Colonel fails to tell his readers when
I asked for this " force." It was immedi
aloly after I was appointed Deputy Tio
vost Marshal. I told him then that thero
were a fow deserters in Clearfield, that the
county covered a very large scope of coun
try, was sparsely sottled, ana tuai two u.
three deserters could keep me running af
ter thein all summer. Soon alter this he
wrote to me that Major Myers had writ
ton to him from Harrioburg that Thomas
Adams, James McKeerAlei. McDcnaM
and others, all deserters, wero in Clear
field county, armed and ready to resist
the oflicors of the Government, and that
he should sond " a military force " to
hava them arrested. "But," continues
the Colonel, " I do not wish tg io lh;a for
fear they i. e. deserters, will ru cut of the
county. (Surely tua:e cc.uld have been
n harm in ri'kniog Ihem out of the
county.) V.'erenot these men left as a
nucleus far disaffected persons to gather
round! There must have been some ul
terior motive. I believe if he had sent
me at that time half a dozen soldiors to ar
rest desortors, not pcactalU eititens, that the
" numbers of eoserters from other coun
ties ir. the State " would nover have been

J .iiS country was formed for the white,
not for tho black man. And looking up
on African slavery from the same stand
point held by the nolle framers of our
Constitution, I, for one, have over consid
ered it one af ibe greatest blessings (both
for themselves and u.) that God ever be
stowed upon a favored nation. Witness
heretofore our wealth and power ; witness
their elevation and enlightenment above
their race elsewhere. 1 have lived among
it most of my life, and have seen less hartb
treatment from master to mnn than I have
bnheld in the North from father to son.
Yet, Ito&veu knows, no one would be will
ing to do more for (he negro race than I,
could I but see a way to still letter their con
dition. But Lincoln's policy i3 only proparing
the way for their annihilation. Tho South
are not, nor have they been fighting for the con
tinuance of slavery. The first battlo of
Bull Run did away with that idea. Their
causes since for war have been as noble and
greater far than those that urged our fathers on.
Even should we allow they were wrong at
tho beginning of this cou tost, crue't' and in-

When I aided in the capturo and e.o -
cution of John Brown (who was a .mur -

was fairly fri'd and eont'totc'i, before an im
partial judge and jury, of treason, and
who, by the way, has since been made a
gou.iwas prouu in my n .10 stiuro in
tho transaction, for I deemod it my duty,
and that I was helping my common coun -
try to perform an act of justice, Hut
what was a crime in poor John Brown is
now considered (by themselves) as tho
greatest ami only virtuo of tho whole Re
publican parly. Strange transmigration !
Vice to become a virtue, simply because
more indulge in it.
I thought then as nme, that tho Aboli
tionists were the only traitors In the land, and
that tho entire party deserved the same
fate of poor old Brown, not because they
wish to abolish slavery, but on account of
the means they have ever endeavored to
use lo effect that abolition. If Brown were
living I doubt whether ho himself would
set slavery against tho Union, Most or
msnv in vho North do, and oponly curse
the Union, if the South are to return and
reUlQ 11 lln3lc riJhl guaranteed to them by
every tie which we once revered as sacred.
The South can make no choice. It is
either extermination or slavery for than
selves (worse than death) to draw from. 1

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION
OF
PRESIDENT JACKSON.
The assassination of President Lincoln
brings to mind the attempted assassina
tion of Provident Jackson, in 1835. Mr.
Benton, in his "Thirty Years' View"
gives the following account of it :
On Friday, tho 30th of January, the
President with some members of his Cab
inet, attended the funeral ceremonies of
Warren R. Davis, Esq., in tho 11 all of tho
House of Representative of which body
Mr. Davis had been a member from the
Slate of t'outh Carolina. The procession
haj moved out with tho body, and its
front had reached tho foot of the broad
steps of tho eastern portico, when the
President, with Mr. Woodbury. Secretary
sou, iocretary oi tno iavy, were issuing
frotn lUo ,loor of lho Ereat rotunda
which opens upon tbo portico. At that

and pulled the triggor. It wasalno a per

President inutantly rushed upon him with
his u "lifted cane ; Jhe man shrunk back ;
Mr. Woodbury aimed a blow nt him j Lt.
Gedney of tho Navy knocked him down;
he was secured by the bystanders, who
delivered him to lho officers of Justice for

took placo before tho chief justice of lho

Edwin M. Stantov,

The orders of General Sherman to Gen

bury and join him, will probably opon the
way for 1'avis to escape to Mexico or t J
Kuropo with his plunder, which is report
ed to be very largo, including not only
tho plunder of Ihe Richmond banks, but
previous accumulations.
A despatch received from Richmond
says "It is ktatcd hero by responsible
parties that the amount of gpecio taken
South by Jeff Davis and his party is very
largo, including not only the plunder of
the Richmond banks, but previous accu
