And the Pittsburg Morning Post In an
article of some length, comes to this very
proper conclusion in regcrd to the same
subject x
PENNSYLVANIA AfoD THE PRESI
DENCY. When the few person? at Harrisburg
vvhp. re laboring to destroy the Pjesideii
'till, election of '44, first, made a dsmonstra
ttpnof their designs by hringing fcirwirds
Cpl, Johr.sori, we' warned (pur friends to
have nnthi.ngto do wjth, the disorganizing
faction as their efforts were called furth
solely for the purpose of 'injuring Mr..
Buchanan, and not with desire of elevating
tho .brave old. soldiet bf Kentucky. The
leaders p this scheme, to 'degrade Penn
sylvania among her sisters States, and to
give her claim onihe, National Convention a
-secondary character, never, for a moment,
entertained a serious thought of nominating
Col. Johnson for tho Presidency; their
onlyojecl In bringing, him forward was
to 'use his well-earned military fame, to
divide the party in this State, and then
transfer their slrenglh'W Whoever would be
raos), like;to favor th'ei'rse'lfish views. But
wltialj 'their efforts, they' have failed to
rn'ako the"peopYe.s'werve from what eVer'y
honesf democrat considers hVs duly is' a
citizen' of the Keystone .State, or to forget
eiruug ciaiiua ut Ills hiaic, ui hic jMc-fiitm-
eni qualification of the candidate' they desire
to receive the nomination 'of the National
Convention.,
' JTtit Democracy of I'ennsyluYnia are not
presumptuous in asserting that in common
justice they hava a right to. ihe candidate, of
--Hum?
acy.aeaan who . occupies the front, rank
among the eminent statesmen of the nation
and whose opinions guide the actions of
wen of all parties,, on, questions of vital
importance to the interests and honor of the
country, they cannot permit tho bidkenng
of factions, or the sohemes of rascillating
demagogues, to turn them from their hon
orable purpose of maintaining their own
rights.tnd the dignity of the'old Keystone,'
in preference to the subordinate claims of
other who seek their favor.
Knowing such to be the feelings of our
Democracy, we never apprehended that the
effort of a few individuals at Harrisburg
would have any influence on the party
throughout the Stale; and we feel confident
that their late movements, of shuffling off
the kind hearted old Colone) and attempting,
tosarryon their scheme of disorgadization
with Mr. Cass, have opened the eye of tlie
the people to their, tricks, and completely
deprived them of the pqwer, to thwiri tho
honest wishes of the great body of. the pat
ty in Pennsylvania,
Tha, heartless manner in which Col.
Johnson haasen, act aside for one who is
considered more, available, lias disgusted,
the few who were honestly inclined to post
pone our own .claims, to, do 'honor to the
flaJlnni old Spldier, and tho party is now
almost unanimous in its, declaration for
the nomination of James Bucuanan, the
?tojest,, competent, and fearless champion
of the people's rights, and defender .of tlje
country's honor' against the insolent d,et
raands of fqrejgppowers. 'The' experience
of every day.brjhgs ussoma,ne,jv evidence,

Jauss iiucrtANAN is the choice of the-
democracy of the Keystono'for 'the Presi
dency in 1844; they believe their claims to
th? nomination just, and their candidate
competent and deserving: and until the
derision oolite National Convention, they
will use every honorable means to induce
their democratic breihern to do common
justice to the pqble old Commonwealth,
that has so often sustained the democracy

tions of public sentiment ' that reach us

With lilts view of the mattejs we have
placed at the bead ofour coluuis the name

thrilling scene. It makes American blood
boil:
"As we were about starting, after the
events 1 have just detailed, a man named
John McAllister a. native of Tennessee, and
ol an excellent family complained that one
of his ankles was sprained and that he could
hardly walk. He was nearly lame in the
other ankle, and could never walk without
limping. On starling, he was allowed o
get into a cart, which had been employed to
carry some of the more feeble of our rfieu,
but, finding it too heavily loaded, after being
a mile on tho road, he was ordered put, and
told to limp along tho best way heleould.
Salezar had frequently told those who weie
unable, to keep up, that he would shoot
them rather than have the march delayed
Although he had already struck and severe
ly beaten several of the sick and more un
fortunate, we could not believe him brute
enough to murdet a man in cold blood, whose
only crime was that he was lame; but in
this we weie mistaken. Un bring driven
from the cart Mr. McAllister staled his in
ability to proceed on fool,, , Salazor told
him to huny on. Again the unfortunate
declared himself utterly unable to walk, and
this in the presence of half a dozen of hE
comrades. The worsethan brutal captain,
now wound up. to a, pilch, of fury, cowman
ded hfm to follow the end, or, hp . wnvitd or
det him to be shot.; '.Then shoot.'sajd Mr.
McAli!er throwing open his blanket, and
tho quicker the bettor ' Salazar look him
at his word, and a single ball sera as bra ye,
a mm as ever trod the earth into eternity I
His ears were then ut,olI,..hs, blanket and
pantaloons stripped frurn.iiin, and his body
thrown by the 'roadside as, food lor the
wolves."' . ,
Arrest for Murder. Mr. Eugcnenc
Clifford, living near Fairfield Pound'.1 re
alleged his wife to accompany him' on 'd
visit to a' friend, on the bppObite'siiie ill the
pond asserting at the same tune, (what is
reported not tobe" irue,')thal they had been
specially invi'ied!'sa'to dd! The day was
raiheVcjId a'nd' unpleasant,' and Mrs. C.
made rrtauy' objection; but, at, tho urgtfnt
aoliditdtion ofMier husband, 'she finally con
sented; and taking an 'infant child', they left
home; and, In croWlng the water, the boat
was'upsetVurid.the'mpiher and child were
drowned, wnile the husband and the lather
escaped. Clifford's sfoiy is ihat in eonse

so violently that his wlfe'n'nd child fell into
the water, and that' in trying lo recover

He' further says, that wJien landed 'safely
himself, he made no effort to save ' them,
and instead of going to a honso near by, he
went about two 'miles round the pound to a
near neighbor, and communicated the death
of the mother and child.
The bodies were found on the samo day,
and the following day a coroner's inquest
was held, and a verdict given, actidentallfc
drowned.' Some suspicious circumstances
coming to light, a second inquest was
called on Thursday, and a verdict givdn
'wilful murder.' Clifford was accordinalv
arrested and a court of examination held,
and which' recoiled in his romtnitial to jail
in tin's village, fur further examination.
