A NEW CANDIDATE FOR LITERARY
HONORS 1
Mifflin county has produced quite a num
ber of citizens who have held important
trusts, and at least forty candidates for
Governor, but thus far has not made much
stir in the literary line—particularly in
the " Rochester" vein—but as this vacuum
is likely to be supplied, we cannot resist the
opportunity of aiding in his immortality
by publishing some of the author's choice
productions. The language used is natu

is of course entitled to a copy-right. Ihe

LUNATIC RAVINGS,
BY ADAM JACKASS GREER,
Reputed Editor of the Mifflintown Squill,
alias Register,
Known as a bad child from the day he could
toddle along on his spindle shanks and say
"damn;" afterwards as a bad boy and worse
man ; a whig in 1853, a proscriptive know
nothing in 1854 although his father is a
foreigner ; a woolly head Republican in
1856; and now a red mouthed lccofoco after
going through a DARKER METAMORPHOSIS in
the fence corners of Brown and Armagh
townships.
From the Juniata Register, June 9.
The scavenger of the Lewistowu Gazette
indulges his cuttle-fish propensities last week,
in a manner peculiar only to himself. Find
ing himself defeated in his assaults upon this
place, and wholly unable to return the galling
fire upon the "fabulous golden village," he
returns like a dog to his vomit, and belches
forth any amount of falsehoods aud monstros
ities. It has been wisely ordained by Provi
dence that " monsters cannot propagate, nor
the father of lies become the father of liars,"
hence the productions of the stupid brain of
the low scavenger of the Gazette, becomes
more insipid and foul than their progenitor.
There is nothing in his ribald slang that mer
its lengthy notice, save only that by his silence
he confesses himself a political scoundrel of
the first water, having betrayed all parties
with which he has been connected ; simply
because the GOLD of others made it a consid
eration for his betrayal,— hence the odium he
and his paper are held in, in Mifflin county ;
the powerlessnees of both to accomplish any
thing either morally or politically. The
leather headed scavenger is perfectly exultant
because our Republicanism teas not the price
of gold; but HE is transcendantly glorious
and jubilant that ins was thought worth pur
chasing at a very moderate figure. lie then
glories in his shame. Judas repented of the
BRIBE he received, and under the goadings of
a guilty conscience, terminated his career in
a terrible manner; but the Judas of the Lew
istown Gazette, has not yet repented, and the
conclusion follows that HE is a more infamous
scoundrel than his infamous prototype. The
more the creature indites against us, the more
we are led to believe that he is the offspring
of some one of the Hessians of Revolutionary
memory!
We have only to say in conclusion, that this
personal collision is not of our own seeking ;
but was commenced by Judas Frysinger upon
his own responsibility. Since 1851 he has
manifested his impotent rage at us on every
occasion, simply for exposing his rascality
towards the Whig party of Mifflin countv,
and carries his insane animosity into every
party or organization where he can gain ad
mittanco for his slimy carcass. As to his
charge of our being compelled to sell printing
offices elsewhere, we pronounce it the coinage
of the scoundrel who invented it, and basely
false. That exposure of his treachery ac
counts for his lunacy, by it
" His wretched brain gav* way.
And be became a wreck, at random driven.
Without one gHuipse of RKASON or of heaven!"
Our readers we suspect will stare with
astonishment to know what all this tirade
of idiotism, for it cannot well he called by
any other name, is about? What has the
editor of the Gazette done to call for all
this, and a column and a half in his pre
vious paper, written in a similar strain ?
\\ hy simply that he defended the citizens
of Lewistown from low and scurrillous at
tacks, made without the slightest provoca
tion, duiing which we took occasion to re
apply some of the choice terms made use
of to Adam himself; and having it seems
driven home a nail or two, stirred up more
bile than ever did a double dose of calomel
and jalap.
No better evidence can be afforded of a
bad cause than when such transcendant
geniuses like him of the Register lose
their temper and lay bare their putrid
hearts; nor need anybody—not even his own
readers, for we have a better opinion of
their intelligence—be told that he is one
of that class of base natures who mistake
low blackguardism for wit, and defamation
for argument.
With all who have read the insane arti
cles in that paper during the past few
weeks, and noted how our statements and
queries were met, but one question is ask
ed, and that is, is the magnificent specimen
of humanity who signs himself Adam J.
Greer " drunk or crazy ?" A "sober man''
certainly would not write, much less pub
lish, such a string of absurdities, blackguard
ism, vulgar but pointless attempts at sar
casm and falsehoods of every hue and
shade, as he has done ; but as by report at
least he has put the bottle aside (whether
out of reach or not we don't know,) the
conclusion must be formed that he is CRAZY,
and in saying so we beg pardon of the lu
natics in the Utica Asylum particularly,
as from the matter in their Opal, we feel as
sured there is not one in that establish
ment who would not blush to have it said
he was so insane as to indite such an arti
as We P ublish to-day from the Regis
ter.
That our talented native of Mifflin coun
ty is rather restive in the position he has
placed himself is shown by the fact that
he now accuses us cf having attacked Mif
fiintown ! —says this controversy is none of
his seeking—and then charges us with hav
ing pursued him since 1851! When or
where did we say a disrespectful word of
the citizens of Mifflintown. Certainly not
since a word has been said about the ma
chine shops, or at any other time, unless
Greer and the writer in the Sentinel are
the citizens of that place. As to any con
troversy, there is none. Well do we know
that A. J. Greer will seek no controversy
with us through a newspaper. He tried it
once, and though he now tells the citizens
of Juniata county that he "impaled" us,
his conduct for seven years and public opin
son then, demonstrate that somebody else
was " impaled." We told him at the time
that for once we would descend to his own
LOW LEVEL and teach a scoundrel what
could be done with his own weapons, and
he knows and it seems still feels the re
sult. When and where have we pursued
him since ? Excepting on a single occa
sion, when he attacked Col. Slifer with an
article peculiarly " grcerish" in the Sen
tinel, did we call him to account, and be
sides this there has not been a single word
published in the Gazette except noting his
political somerset, at which he could have
taken the slightest offence. Had we
felt disposed to pursue him with the ma
lignity that characterizes his own conduct,
opportunity was not wanting, for no man
reared in this county is more easily assaila
ble, both politically and morally, than this
same A. J. Greer. To the truth of this
every reader of the Gazette will bear wit
ness, for with the exceptions spoken of they
will ransack the fount of memory in vain.
Does he really believe it himself? If he
does, we cannot account for it in any other
way, than that in such moments of halluci
nation he has imagined the Gazette to be
after him with a sharp pen instead of
snakes, toads, or the "man with the poker."
If that is the case, he is certainly to be
pitied, and it also accounts for some strange
stories occasionally set afloat in this region
in places where he used to frequent
within the past seven years, namely, that
we were about breaking up —that our sub
scribers were leaving us at two post offices
where there have not been ten actual dis
continuances in as many years —and other ]
similar nonsense.
The people of Mifflin county, and par
ticularly of Lewistown, must be a strange
people if Adam Le Diable is to be believed.
\\ e and our paper be alleges are held in
odium here and without influence! Vet,
strange to say, our list has gone on steadily
increasing from year to year, and at the
present day embraces patrons of whom any
editor might well feel proud. We too can
find friends wherever we go, among both
rich and poor. The day laborers, the cart
ers, the mechanics, and others stand by us
on all occasions, as any one can fiud out by
making inquiry among them; other classes
do not hesitate to place important trusts in
our hands, involving discretionary powers
over what is almost exclusively their inter
est; and the people of Lewistown have on
several occasions against our wishes placed
us in the principal borough office—the last
time shortly after the publication of
Swoopc's list, when they elected us over a
highly respectable regularly nominated
democrat; besides us there was we believe
but one of the opposition candidates elec
ted. This does not look as if we were held
in particular odium. We have a few ene
mies, it is true, but most of them are of
about the same mental, moral, religious and
political calibre as the polliwog of the
Register. How far we valued his esj>o
surcs, can be estimated by the fact that we
republished them in the Gazette, just as
we have the choice literary production
above.
With this we might close, but as Adam
has also made some most miserable attempts
at squibs aimed at us and the Democrat,
we cannot forbear giving him a few speci
mens, which he can paste in his hat for
future use, mixed with a little more caustic
than he seems capable of putting in his
own, so that the next time he wants to shoot
one off he will not be as much of a botch
of an editor as he is of a man :

That's better than being a sap head.

makes selections in rather poor taste. We
would recommend to him an old piece headed
" An Ode to Ilum," from which he can make
quotations that will hit somebody, if it don't
us.
flsjyGreer don't deny that he told the senior
editor of the True Democrat that he was a
"d—d fool" for having come out a Republi

of hundred dollars had he waited. How about
the Sentinels, Adam ? Don't you think Get
tysburg Sentinel is wrong on that list?
■QuSpooncy Greer thinks we must be a
descendant of the Hessians. Wrong again,
Adam, as usual. Our forefathers came to
this country long before the Revolution, and
were neither Hessians nor tories; and our
father was fighting the British, as Ad. can
ascertnin at the Pension Office, when his wns
in Ireland. That was no disgrace to him,
hut Ad. is.
IP&AVe have given several of Ad's splen
diferous productions to our readers to show
what a fool he is. As he says we are a "scav
enger," suppose he copy these items and re
marks to let his readers see some of our work
in that line. We are scraping you this week:
should it he worth our while we'll skin you
next, and if not too strongly saturated, get
your hide tanned for a drum head for the new
volunteer company.
Having thus afforded some amusement
for our readers, and given Greer, what he
seemed to be fishing after, a mode rate
REPLY, we hope he will endeavor hereafter
to say something worth noticing, as we can
assure him that all he has said so far has
but created a feeling of contempt among
our citizens of all classes, while in Juniata
county be is the butt of boys, the laughing
stock of men, and the " animal" to ladies
whom they point at with the finger of scorn
as a " living monument of infamy and
shame."
Remarks of Gen. Cameron
On presenting a petition from laboring men
of Pennsylvania.
1 am requested to present a petition, signed
by a large number of laboring men engaged
in the manufacture of iron in Pennsylvania.
I receive a great man}' letters daily from per
sons of this class, and i will say here, what
will save me the trouble of writing a great
many letters. They think the Congress of
the United States can relieve them from their
troubles. There never has been a time in the
history of the iron business of Pennsylvania
when there was so much real distress among
the laboring men of my State—the men who
do the work, the men who go to the forge
before daylight, and return there long after
the moon has risen—than there is at present.
It is not a complaint now on the part of the
capitalists. Men of capital, men of fortune,
can take care of themselves. Capital can
always take care of itself; labor, poverty, indi
gence and want, always need sympathy and
protection.
These persons reside in the town of Norris
town, on the Schuylkill river, some twenty
miles above Philadelphia. The river Schuyl
kill is traversed, on both sides by a railroad,
one extending some twenty or thirty miles,
another one hundred miles. On the one side
of the river is a canal. All these works
have been made for the purpose of conveying
coal and iron to the place of manufacture
and sale. The county of Schuylkill, the
great coal deposit of Pennsylvania, has a
population of some 80,000 or 90,000 people
all of which has grown up within the last
twenty-five years.
At this time the whole laboriug population
engaged in the iron and coal business, of the
whole country extending from 1 hiladelphia
to the mountains of Schuylkill county, are
entirely idle; the boats are tied up ; the loco
motives are, in a great measure, standing
still, and the laborers are running about
hunting employment and hunting food.
These are the persons who complain ; they
think that Congress can relieve them. 1
have told them, and I have written to them,
that they have the power in their own hands.
The laboring men of this county are power
ful for good always. They do control when
they think proper, aud I think the time is
coming when they will control the politics of
this country. I tell them that before they
can get common protection they must change
the majority in theSenate;they uiustchangethe
majority of the other house of Congress; and
above all, they must change the occupant of
the White House, who is the dispenser of the
power which controls the legislation of this
country. In place of gentlemen who sneer
when we talk about protection, they must
send men hero who know something of the
wants, something of the interests, something
of the usefulness of the laboring men.
Hitherto they have not acted as if they
cared for their own interests; while they
talked about a tariff which would guard their
labor from competition with the pauper la
bor of Europe, they would g® to the elections
under some ward leader and vote for men to
represent them here and elsewhere, who cared
only for party drill, and who bad no interest
above party success. This system they must
dhange if they hope for success. I think the
laboring men of Pennsylvania, at least, are
now beginning to put their own shoulders to
the wheel, and I believe they will make
such a noise in the next October contest, as
will alarm the gentlemen all over the country
who laugh at them.
The canals, railroads and mining operations
of this region of country hare cost more than
a hundred millions of dollars. The furnaces
and other works connected with the manu
facture of iron, cost an enormous sum, and
the people interested in the iron and coal
business, directly or indirectly, along the val
ley of the Schuylkill amount to more than
three hundred thousands souls. Since 1855
there has been a blight upon the business]
growing out of the unwise legislation of Con
gress, wlneh has really protected tho iron of
Kngland, Kusssia and Sweden, and thus ta
ken the labor and bread from our own work
men.
This iron interest of Pennsylvania, in
which these men are employed, commenced
in 1820, with a production of only 10,000 tons.
In 1855, when it was up to its greatest extent,
the production was a million of tons of pig
metal. When this pig metal is worked into
the v&rions uses in which iron is to be con
sumed, it amounts to very many millions
of dollars. The annual produce of coal in
Schuylkill ceunty alone, in 1855. amounted
in value to some $20,000,000. When it is
known that it requires two tons of coal to
make a ton of iron, you can imagine the
number of persons who raly for their daily
bread on the production of iron and coai.
Iron, in its native mountains, is worth but
50 cents a ton ; when it is worked into pig
metal it ranges in price from S2O to S3O, and
sometimes to S4O a ton; and worked into
various uses it frequently amounts to many
hundreds of dollars a ton.
I have said that these people have the power
in their own hands. lam speaking to them
now, and I wish them to exercise the power
they have. I cannot help them, much as I
desire to do so, nor can any of their friends
here ; but when they go to work as men de
termined to succeed should do, 1 have no
doubt they will get protection. The people
in this valley and on the slope of the Schuyl
kill mountains have votes enough to change
and control the politics of the linioa ; for as
Pennsylvania goes, so goes the Union in all
great elections; and their votes can at all
times decide the politics of Pennsylvania.
Let them exercise the power wisely, and they
will no longer be without plenty of work and
good prices.
I move that this petition be referred to the
Committee on Finance.
FROM UTAH.
A despatch was received at Washington
last week from I tuh, by which it appears
that the Mormons, notwithstanding their
open rebellion, are to go unpunished, and
thus suffered to gather strength for a fu
• c o
ture struggle when it will cost twenty lives
to subdue them instead of one now.
In his letter to Secretary Cass, Gov.
Cumraing says he left the camp on the sth
of April, en route to Salt Lake City, ac
companied by Col. Kane as his guide, and
two servants. In passing through the set
tlements, he was greeted with such respect
ful attentions as were due to the Represen
tative of the Executive authority of the
I nited States in a Territory. Xcar the
Warm Springs, at a line dividing the Great
Salt Lake from Davis county, he was hon
ored with a formal and respectful reception
by many gentlemen, including the Mayor
and municipal officers of the city, and by
them escorted to lodgings previously pre
pared, the Mayor occupying a seat at his
side in the carriage. Ex-Governor Young
paid him a visit of ceremony as soon as he
was sufficiently relieved from the fatigue of
his journey to receive company. In a sub
sequent interview, ex-Governor Young
evinced a willingness to afford him every
facility he might require for the efficient
performance of his administrative duties.
Brigham Young's course in this respect,
Governor Cumming fancied, met wifchjlhe
entire approval of a majority of the Salt
Lake community.
Having heard numerous complaints, Gov.
Cumming caused public notice to he posted
signifyiug his readiness to relieve those who
deemed themselves aggrieved by being ilie
g iliv restrained of their liberty, and assuring
the protection of all persons. He kept his
office open at all hours, night and day, and
registered fifty-six men, thirty-three women,
and seyenty-oDe children, as desirous of his
protection, and evincing their disposition of
proceeding to tho United States. A large
majority of these people were of English
birth, and were promised assistance to be re
moved.
Gov. Gumming says that his Tisit to the
tabernacle will never be forgotten. There
were between three and four thousand persons
assembled for the purpose of public worship.
There was the most profound silence when he
appeared. Brigham Young introduced hira
as the Governor of Utah, and Gov. Gumming
addressed them for half an hour, telling them
that it was his purpose to uphold the Consti
tution, and that he would expect their obedi
ence to all lawful authority, assuring them of
bis determination to administer equal and
exact justice, etc. He was listened to respect
fully. He invited responses, and several
spoke, referring in excited tones to the mur
der of Joseph Smith, to the services rendered
by the Mormon battalion in the Mexican war,
and recapitulated a long chapter of their
wrongs. The tumult fearfully iucreased, but
an appeal from Brigham Young restored
calmness. Several afterwards expressed re
gret at their behavior.
Gov. Cumming proceeds to describe the
exedus of the Mormons. The people, inclu
ding the inhabitants of Salt Lake, in the
Northern part of the territory, are leaving
the roads are everywhere filled with wagons
loaded with provisions and household furni
ture, the women and children following after
without shoes or hats, driying their flocks
they know not where.
They seemed not only content but cheerful.
It is the will of the Lord, they any, and thev
rejoice to change the comforts of home for the
trials of the wilderness. Their ultimate des
tination was not fixed upon. Going south
seemed to be sufficient to designato the place,
but from the private remarks of Young in his
tabernacle, Governor Cumming thinks that
they are going to Sonora.
Brigham Young, Kimball, and most of the
influential men, had left their commodious
mansions to swell the ranks of the emigrants.
Ihe masses everywhere announced to Gover
nor Cumming that the torch will be applied
to every house indiscrimately, throughout the
country, as soon as the troops attempt to cross
the mountains. The people, though scattered,
every means would be taken to rally them.
Some of the Mormons are yet in arms, and
the Governor speaks of the mischief they are
capable of rendering as guerrillas. The way
for the emigrants to the Pacifio is open.
Gov. Cumming savs that he would leave for
the south on the 3d of May. He says that
he will restrain all the proceedings *©f the
military for the present, and until he shall
receive additional instructions from the Pres
ident.
