i. its own appointment, simply because

The llarrisburg Union, a leading organ
ci the Pennsylvania Democracy, in speak
ing of Beeder's return, Buys :
'Wherever he appears he will be greet
ed by the people as the champion of the
tree and uncontrolled right of suffrage;
and the day is not far distant when, iu
the old Keystone Staie, he will enjoy
something more than the mere title ol
i.ovciuor. We must also again express
r probation of his removal. We believe
that this is the feeling of Pennsylvania.
We charge the President with having dos
crated the power he exercises. We charge
him with prostituting himself with ruffian
ism and lawlessness. We charge him
with cringing and fawning and playing
the sycophant to the South for the sake
of continuance iu office. We charge him
with violating the trust and conGdence of
-the North. We charge him with treach
ery to the noble sentiment he once utter
ed that he knew no "no North, no South,
ii3 East, no West," for he has demon
strated that in truth with him there is no
North all is South. His last act sum
mons him before the bar of public opinion,
and by that tribunal he will be tried and
condemned. His judges cannot be bribed,
neither can they be awed by all the
prestige that surrounds the least of the
Presidents. 2io sdi,ht ol hand or shuf
fling trick can save him from the nether
most political damnation to which hope
U'jver enters, aud from which there id no
resurrection."

learn that Gov. Breeder wiil not return to
Eapton as soon as has been anticipated.
The latest imformation is, that he will not

Villanoua Legislation.
Amongst other acts passed by the quasi
Legislature of Kansas, is one requiring
that settlers from Massachusetts sli all take
an oath of allegiance to the Constitution
and laws of the Unit ted States, the fugi
tive clave law and the organic act of Kan
sas Territory included; and that they shall
support the laws enacted by the Territo
rial Legislature of Kansas, lor which they
them, and that without the necessity oi
taking an oath.
The Legislative Council of Kansas havc
likewise passed an act, and sent it down
to the Legislative Assembly for concur
rence in which the penality of death is
denounced against any one who shall en
tice away or abduct a slave belougiug in
that. Territory: and also the samepuuish
mcnt against any person who shall steal
a tlavc from any other State or Territory
and bring the same into Kansas. Also
the importing or introduction into the
Territory of any abolition document,
tendin? to incite slaves to rebellion against
authority, is made punishable with death.
It eaunot bo possible that the EC0un-
drels who have taken violent possession
of the legislative authority of Kansas,
have any rational hope of enforcing the
laws which they are framiug, or they
would certainly try to make them of a little
more rational character, and more in ac
cordance with justice and common sense.
However, let the rascals have plenty of
rope and they will effectually hang them
selves. The intelligent men of the South
very generally regard the antics of the
Missouri interlopers in Kansas, as an out
race upon order and good government,
and a disgrace to the nation. If we had
half a man m the Presidential Chair, he
would send to Kansas a force strong e
nough to protect the Territory against
Missouri aggression, and ensure to the
regular settlers the full enjoyment of their
civil right's. But nothing can be expect
ed of the present weak and timid Execu
tive, lie has not the nerve to do his du
ty, even if he had the will. Sussex Reg.
The following statement, to whioh
general attention is colled, is taken from
the Hartford Couraut
Saturday evening, Aug. 11, 1855, Da
vid Daltou and Mrs. Mary King, of this
city; (Hartford,) went before the Town
Reciter, declared their intentions of mar
riage, and were by him, as Justice of the
peace, duly and legally married. Sun
day, Aug". 12, the very Kev. Father
Hughes, pastor of the Catholic Church,
informed Mr. and Mrs. Dalton that they
were not married were no belter than
the bea?ts of the fk-ld were living a life
of prostitution, but that he would marry
them all right for ttn dollars, and that
they must pay that or he would banish
them, from Hartford, and that wherever
they went he would Lave them banished,
unless they paid him the 810. The man
Dalton, being a poor, laboring man, had
not SH' to spare, but told Father Hughes
he would (rather than have any trouble)
pay him five or even ix doliars, but that
he could pay no more. The llev. Hughes
said, 'No, not a cent less than S1U,' and
then took from Balton the marriage ccr-
tificate he had; and although urged and
requested to return it, refused, and turned
Mrs. Ialton outoi the bouse, and satu tney
i .-uvuiu uui i
The above can be substantiated by the
oath of the parties. Mrs. Dalton told
Hughes that she would publish him if he
didnot return her marriage certificate.
Hushes said, I will publish and banish
you in Church next Sunday.'
Here is a beautiful revelation ! Well
may the Courant ask :
What arc wc coming to? Is this a
country where a priest and a clergyman
are no better and no worse than othcr
people? or, arc we living in Spain or Italy,
where the priest has legal powers and the
laity are mere beasts of burden for their
greasy reverences to straddle? Let any
American, with the feelings of a man,
! read the above statement of acts, and if
j his blood docs not boil we pity him.
Exciting Scene at a Camp meeting.
On Sunday week a violent thunder
storm passed over the vicinity of Dutch
Creek, near Cincinnati, where a camp
meeting was in progress. The Cincinnati
Enquirer says :
"Several large trees wercblown down,
and one, a huge beach, half rotteu, was
prostrated to the ground while twenty-five
or thirty persons were congregated under
its branches. Fortunately it fell so slow
that every one escaped unhurt, and dam
aged nothing except a barouche, which
was capsized and completely wrecked. A
gentleman who witnessed the falling of
this tree from a distance says that the es
cape of those under it seemed almost mi
raculous. The Storm was at its fury,
and, as the old tree gradually bowed un
der the gale, men, women, and children
rushed iu every direction to save them
selves, sbriekiug and screaming. Sever
al were knocked down by the branches,
but were not injured. A number of tents
were torn to pieces and others blown en
tirely away. Whilo the storm was rag
ing the great mass of people broke for
the open fields, where they remained un
til the storm was over. Sueli a soaked,
drenched, and thoroughly saturated crowd
of human beings havc not been met with
in this region of the country as far back
as the memory of the 'oldest inhabitant'
ruud."

Horrors of Indian Warfare.
The following account of a desperate
fight with a party of Indians, copied from
the San Antonio (Texas) Ledger, calls to
mind the days of old, when the frontiers
were the theatre of many such fatal con
flicts and the scenes of many such iustau
stances of undaunted courage :
a
"On Saturday evening, June 30, some
sent from the house, leaving at the time
no occupants in it but a Frenchman named
Louis and a large dog. It seems that the
Indians had been lying in wait for some
time, and took this opportunity to attack
him. Mr. Westfall, however, succeeded
in getting back to his house, wounded in
a dangerous manner, the ball striking him
in thelcft breast high up and coming out
of his back under the opposite shoulder,
lie fastened the door, and the Indians
then commenced an attack on the house.
Louis and Westfall now exchanged shots
with them in rapid succession, but West
fall was fast failing from loss of blood.
Louis approached an aperture in tho wall
in order to make sure aim, and was shot
through the heart, fell and expired. J he
faithful dog, on seeing Louis fall and the
blood streaming down from his body, bo
came frantic with rage, and, rushing out
a small aperture, sprang upon the Indians,
seized one, aud tore every garmeut trom
his body, aud was on the eve of killing
him when ho was shot ami overpowered
bv the demons in human shape that sur
rounded him. Westfall, overpowered by
the loss of blood, could only support him
self now by holding to the walls of tnc
house; but nothing daunted, he tore a
large aperture in tho wall and stuck his
gun out, in order to keep up appearances.
Tho Indians, no doubt thinking they
would have a long siege, and many of
them bcinr: severely wounded, left, taking
with them all the horses belonging to their!
ranch. It was now night, and Westtah
remembers ot crawling to uis oe, wuieu
was the last consciousness he had until
Sunday evening, when ho found himself
lying od his bed covered with blood that
had come from the wound and from his
mouth; but he was not able to come from
his bed until Monday, when, from the
stench of the dead body in the room, he
found something must be done. With
great effort he succeeded in dragging the
body about twenty feet, but could get it
no further. At suuset on Monday eve
ning he htarted towards Fort Inge for as
sistance, but succeeded that night in get
ting only four miles; and on Wednesday
evening he arrived at a house in the vi
cinity of Fort Inge, where he procured as
sistance, and is still alive, and his physi
cian has strong hopes of his recovery.
Mr. Westfall is a man of strong frame
and extraordinary constitution, which ac-
rnnnts for his remarkable escape, lie is
a terror to the Indians, and is known on
the frontier by the name of ' Leather
Stocking." The Indians without doubt
were tho Lipans, who commit their mur
ders, plundering, &e. and then take shel
ter in Mexico.
Political Movement.
The Hard-Shell Democratic State Con
vention of New York, which assembled
! at Syracuse on Thursday of last week, did
not conclude its business till lTiday,wnon
the following ticket was nominated :
Aaron Ward for Secretary of State; J.
B. Mitchell for Comptroller; J. M. Lyons
for Treasurer; F. Follett for Canal Com
missioner; Darius Clark for State Prison
Inspector; Josiah Sutherland for Attor-
ney uenerai; ueorge Loie ior oiaie j-iii-giueer;
and S. S. Selden and John Wil
lard for the Court of Appeals.
Greene C. Bronson, Samuel Bcardsley,
George W. Clinton, and Charles O'Couor
were appointed delegates ot large to-the
next Democratic National Convention.
The resolution adopted by the Conven
tion re-assert the adherence of the Na
tional Democracy to the theory and prac
tice of the resplutions of the Democratic
National Conventions of 1848 and 1852;
insist upon a strict construction of the
Constitution and the principle of non-intervention
upon all domcstio State ques
tions; assert that the peace and quiet of
the country demand that it should be left
to the people of the Territories, as it per
tains to the people of the States, to de
termine all local questions, including the
subject of slavery; denounce all secret
political societies, and also the prohibito
ry liquor law, which is pronounced to be
not only a violation of the Constitution,
but subversive of personal liberty and the
rights of private property; and cordially
invite all who agree with the doctrines
here enumerated, regardless of former as
sociations, to unite with the Democracy
in engrafting them upon the policy of the
country. It was also resolved that the
Kansas Nebraska bill be approved, and
all efforts to restore the Missouri compro
mise be discountenanced. During the
sitting of Thursday evening a resolution
was offered proposing to iuvite the Soft
Shell Convention (which is to meet on the
29th) to untite in the affirmation of the
platform of the Hard-Shells and take half
the offices; but this proposition was, after
a warm debate, rejected yeas 10, days
04.
The Mormons in Utah are about being
reduced to starvation. Countless swarme
of grasshoppers are busy devouring the
vegetation. They have wholly eaten up
the wheat save scattered patches which
havc been preserved by the labor of men,
women, and children, organized into re
lieving squads; who with willow brushes
havc painfully swept the insects into run
ning water, where open bags caught them.

Railroad Matters.
The track of the Belvidere and Dela

tance of six miles from Phillipsburg, and
the extension awaits tho completion of
some grading, which will require about a
week. It is confidently affirmed that the
cars will be running to and from Belvi
dere before thc first of November next.
Traveling is expected, to commence
within a mouth between Scrantonand thc
Delaware, and also that in the further
period of the three months thc Warren
Itoad, connecting the Central and the
Scraton or Lackawanna Roads, will be
ready for the cars. The present week
will enable the workmen to get through
thc Tunnel at Vass' Gap. This Itoad
will be one of the most substantial in the
country, being all the way of a double
track.

Warren County Kail lload Company have
been disposed of, and 8200.000 of the a
