THE GAZETTE. LEWISTOWN, PA. Thursday Morning, Dec. 25. Notices of New Advertisements. ILLINOIS LANDS. —The attention of farmers and others about removing to the west, or desirous of making safe investments, is re quested to the advertisement of Joseph Mini ken, Esq., offering for sale 20,000 acres of Prairie Lands in Central Illinois. These lands are located in a climate congenial to our own, near the great lines of railway that traverse the State, and for fertility and easy cultivation are unsurpassed. Among those who have already made purchases are Wm. Mitchell of Lewistown, Joseph Tice of Gran ville, John M. Bell of Perry, and others, who examined them in person and will cheerfully testify to their value. The lands will bo sold low, and offer the strongest inducements for emigrants from this and neighboring coun ties to form neighborhoods, and thus in a measure relieve the tediousness arising from settling among strangers in a strange land. Juukiu lias a line lot of Gift Books—M. Montgomery will sell his Valuable Property at public sale during court week—a new vol ume of " Forrester's Playmate" begins in January—a notice to stockholders of the Gas Company, and an Executor's notice also ap pear. According to our usual custom, no regular paper will be issued from this of fice next week. Either a half sheet or an extra will be published however so as not to interfere with the publication of suudry legal advertisements. The Opposition Candidate for Governor. The Kepubiicuns and liberal minded Amer icans are discussing the nomination of a suit able candidate for Governor at the next fall election, and generally in a good spirit. The most prominent of those named thus far are Hon. DAVID WII.MOT, Judge IVEI.LV of Phila delphia, and lion. J AS. T. H ALE of Bellefunte. As the representative of a great principle, Mr. Wilmot has undoubtedly done more to wards revolutionizing .Northern Pennsylvania than any man in it, and we suspect would receive the largest vote in that section any man has ever received. The only difficulty in his case would be whether he would receive a cordial support from the Americans incase of his nomination. Should circumstances c-eeur to make it likely that he would be ac ceptable to them, His election then might be ■et down as a fixed fact. Judge Kelly stands next on the list, and would make a formida ble candidate t > any one that could be brought cut against him. As matters however at present stand, the Hou. Jus. T. Hale is un doubtedly the strongest man yet named, and one against wi.om less objection can be raised, either by the Republicans er Americans, than perhaps any other in either party. Of high legal attainments and standing in the front rank in all that constitutes the man and gen tleman, he is deservedly popular wherever i knows, and most so where best known. In this congressional district his uoiniaition weald be r-f..j;ued t with an enthusiasm far beyond any called forth for y-ars. and be regarded as the entering wedge f.r a m..r complete onion of the opposition than has yet existed since the disruption of t! • w! ig party. While it may be as vet time enough to discuss this matter, we cannot *ee any impropriety in bringing forward candidates, ' subject to the decision of a Union State Con vention, and wc therefore namo him as >w candidate, until ve shall see reason to prefer another. ITJE POMTIC VI, MCI i>. Among other remedies now proposed to resuscitate the opposition is one that we must have NEW LEA pus ■. A - >/• Iml-■. indeed! Why what hare th people had during the past few rears but rsic leader*, and what : have they accomplished? A partv with the germs in it to make it the roust p-.-pular and powerful that had ever boon f rmed \va- en trusted to their rare, and l*bo1d the result: —in two short years it has been dishonored and betrayed— ili leadert beoome mere cor rupt and dish ne*t than ever was the manage ment of the Portage itailrad—and now, in stead , f being dominant, ha* been scattered until hardly a vestige of its recent greatness ' remains. Such has been the work of neve leaders; and now, forsooth, the same game is tc be played eve:! B"ut the people do n'.i want new leaders, and will n--t be apt t • i>* bri lled so readily as they havo been without knowing who is to be the rider. They do not want iicic leaders, but HONEST ones—men vrho however ambitious in aspirations for office and honors, are at least not political i gamblers and mountebanks—men who wili not sell themselves and betray the party with them, so far as lies in their power, whenever opportunity offers. Thits is ail that is want ing. and all that ought to be done. Purge the opposition of its f-xeresccnses. aud a vear or two will rest re it to it* pristine vigor; but on the oth*r hand, call fortii self-important jnen without tact or talent as leaders, and the opposition will *on dwindle down to half a dozen insignificant factions, more bitterly hostile to ea< h other than to the common enemy. Scf'PER (fre to all tcfio bvy tickets.) —The Ladies of the Episcopal Church intend getting up a aeries of suppers at the Town Hall du ring court week, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to the benefit of their church. Aa several of them have on all occasions ren dered efficient aid whenever any thing of this kind has bc< n got up, the public of all per suasions owe thern a debt which we hope they will discharge by a general and open iiacd&d attendance I Proceedings of Congress. During the debate in the United States Senate on the President's message, Mr. Wil son of Massachusetts delivered an able speech, which is thus noticed in the Natioual Intelli gencer: lie recapitulated the charges brought by the President against the Republican party, . numbering among its supporters,-as the last election shows, more than one million and three hundred thousand of his fellow-citizens, surpassed by none in patriotism and intelli gence. He denied each and every one of the f President's allegations against that body of American voters—allegations which he stig matized as equally false and malignant. Nor 1 did he think that the defence of the President, t as set up by one of his supporters (Mr. Pugh) on the floor of the Senate, could be plead in his behalf, as it was plain that the President's censures were intended to fall on the heads of the Republican party, and were not di • rectcd to the Abolitionists proper, as that , Senator had intimated. The President char ges those whom he arraigns with entertaining covert designs "against the institutions of ex isting States." This charge was meant for the Republicans, and was a Presidential fling at the honesty aud sincerity of more than a million of American citizens. The speaker then explained the differences of opiuion and purpose between the Repub lican party and those who were called Abo -1 litionists, either of the "Garrisoniau" or "Radical" school, of which the former held j that the Constitution of the United States was a pro-slavery document, and therefore they abstained even from voting in national elections, that they might give no counte nance to such a compact with slavery, while the latter maintained that tho Constitution ; was an anti-slavery instrument, and that, under its provisions, Congress or the Supreme Court might to-morrow declare the emanci pation of all slaves throughout the Uhion.— In opposition to both of these inconsiderable parties, the Republicans held that the Con ! stitution gave to Congress ao power over | slavery in the States, but did confer jurisdic tion over the territories, and did authorize a prohibition of the extension of slavery to territories which were free. This pewer the Republicans believed was constitutional, and, being so, they meant to exert it in behalf of freedom. It is true that the Republicans ! were opposed to slavery in every form, and wherever found; l.ut they recognized the right of the States to hold their bondmen if thev thought it right or expedient to do so. lie had enjoyed peculiar facilities in the late canvass for ascertaining the sentiments of his political friends, and he had yet to learn that a single one of their speakers or presses had countenanced the idea of touching slavery in the States. He challenged contradiction on ' this point. T e speaker then reviewed tho doctrines f the Republican party as defined by the Phil adelphia Convention, and quoted a clause of their platform which was iutended to disclaim the right of interfering wi;h slavery in the South. The Republican party was pre-emi nently a States-Rights party, and granted to the South, as ;t claimed for the North, all the immunities of State sovereignty. He repu diated the imputation of disuniunisin which it was attempted to cast on the Republicans, and thought such a charge came with an ill grace from the party which numbered in its ranks nearly every avowed disuuiwnist in tho ' United States. Ho quoted froin speeches of Mr. Toombs, Mr. Slidell, Gov. M ise, Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, and others, fur the purpose of discovering who were the real disunionists in the country. He also replied to portions of the recent speeches delivered iu the Senate b. Messrs. Butler, Mason, , Rusk, Brown, and Cass. lie denied that the 1 Republican party was sectional in its princi- j pics or its aims. It sought to benefit the white laborer of the South no Ir-stkvn of the North, by retaining tie free Territories as : the common heritage of b ah. He quoted from the returns < f the last cen>u to show that while only two hundred thousand men of the North had gono to the South, six bun dred thousand natives of the South had "mi grated to the free North. Free laboring men would ever shun contact and fellowship with slavery. Th** Republicans had no feeling of . hatred to the Smth. All Southern men were tre.it" i WHII courtesy and kiudnos when they visited tire North, even though tls y came to utter 'pinions contrary t> the taste and eon- ! science* • I * great majority of Northern eit . izens. But what citizen of the North, he ! asked, could now utter the sentiments and maintain the principles avowed bv Jefferson, M idi-i it, or Washington in the State which ■ had given birth to these fathers of the Re- | public? There wa* no freedom of speech or of opinion at the S..uth in the matter of !a very. in support of this assertion he cited , the case of Mr. Underwood, driven from Vir giniaf. r atterwllng the Republican Convention at Philadelphia, of I'rof. IJedrick, expelled from Iv.' chair in a Southern University for writing a temperate letter in favor of Mr. Fremont and the principles of the Republi can party, and other such examples. i ne House, on thij '_2d, under a euspensi >ll of the rule?, took up and adopted the resolu tion offered by Mr. \\ ashburne of Maine, on Monday last, calling on the President to i communicate to the House the amount of money paid and the liabilities incurred for : the pay and support of persons called into the service of the United State*, either under the designation of militia in Kansas, or ns posse comitatus by the civil authorities uf the ■ territory, since the date of its establishment: and for witnesses, and the arrest, detention, . and trial of persons charged with treason ug.iin*t tiie I nited States, or with the \ir -1 ,-r - tion of tiie so-called laws of the territory. 'J he House then proceeded to the election of a Chaplain, when Father Waldo was re elected. Sixteen other* were voted for—Fa- ■ > tber Donn, a Jesuit of St. Louie, was support . ed by Messrs. Morrison and Kelly, and Rev. ' Antoinette Blackford, by M Watt* and Spinner. Mr. Clingman, under a suspension of the i rules, introduced a bill explanatory of the resolntioa authorizing the President to confer the title of Lic-ut.-General, by brevet. The object was to place" Gen. Scott on the same footing a* Gen. \\ ashington was, under the j law oi ICJB. '] he bill after some ex plana- I ! lions passed. Mr. Humphrey Marshall moved a suspen sion of the rules to enable him to move that the bill establishing a uniform rule for natu ralization be made the special order for the lGtb of January.

LATEST NEWS. THE NEGRO MOVEMENTS. The Clarksville, Tennessee Chronicle oi Dec. 13th, says: The excitement growing oul j of the insurrectionary movement among the negroes, is gradually subsiding, as the appre hension of immediate danger is allayed. The City Council of Clarksville have in ; structed the recorder to notify iron masters and other owners of slares, that no slaves j will he permitted to come into the city, ta remain longer than two hours, unless accom panied by u respectable white person. The city constable and night watchmen will in flict twenty lashes 011 every slave violating this ordinance. The Paris (Tcnn.) Patriot, of Dec. I Ith, says: Some of our citizens have been over in Stewart, and have returned with their ne groes! We understand that one of Mrs. I Harris* was s. badly whipped that her son would not receive him. In the C'onyers j vilie district, in this county, the people be , came alarmed, a few days since, and took up !_ nearly 300 negroes in that part of the county and examined them, but not discovering any j signs of guilt they were turned loose. Ihe St. Louis Democrat contains the fol -1 lowing: The furnace owners who had hired ' blacks employed at their works had sent I them home, and others who owned negroes ; |' ; id confined them :n irons. The consequence : is that no less than twenty-five furnaces had ceased operations, and where all was .lately alive with the hum of labor, is now all silence and desertion, as if the plague had suddenly introduced itself. This proceeding will no j doubt greatly advance the price of Tennessee iron, which lias for years entered largely info the manufacturing interests of St. Louis. A : gentleman of this city, a manufacturer, upon the first news of the insurrection, purchased • upwards of $190,000 worth of Tennessee iron, j in anticipation of the stoppage of the furna | ces in that State.
