FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER,
ARNOLD PLUME R,
or VENANGO COUNTY,
Ike Colombia Coal and iron Company.
At the last session of our Legislature a law
was paaaed authorizing t the chartering of a
company by the above natno, with a capital
pf five hundred thousand dollars, and if deem
ed necessary by the members of the compa
ny 10 catty out the object of the corporation,
r may be increased two hundred and fifty ihou
•and dollars more; to hold not exceeding at
anyone time three thousand acres ol land in
Columbia and Moatour counties.
We understand that a portion of the stock
baa been taken by reliable capitalists, who
expect to organize the Company the present
month, and as soon after'as possible, com
•meoce making the necessary improvements,
to mine and convey to market the coal from
M'Cantey mountain.
This mountain is located in Beaver to/wit-,
-dhip, this county, and contains as m'iclv eoal
to the superficial area, as has ever been dis
covered elsewhere. The both red and
white ash, are esteemed by all who have used
nhem, as superior to any either Lehigh or
Schuylkill.
it will require hnly abont throe miles of
railroad to connect the mines with the Catta
wisra, Williams port and Erie rail road; and
thence the cool can be delivered to the iron
manufacturers nnd other consumers ofihis
and Montour countios, and in fact to the ex
tremity of the West choapcr than from any
other coal district In the State.
This the Company will bo enabled to do,
by the peculiar and advantageous situation
f the cool.
The vast deposit of codsix'y feci in depth
or thickness is oti and near the summit oi tho
mountain. A tunnel can be drove in,to the bot
tom of the basin, through which the coal can
te taken out,l the samo time affording an
outlet for any water that may accumulate in
the mines, rhus avoiding the outlay for put
ling up, end expeuso ol maintaining engines,
pumps, &c.
"Columbia comity, containing such vast and
rich deposits of coal, iton ore and limestone,
is dostined, to become ono of tho wealthiest
counties i:i the Stale. All we want is capital
and enterprise. We aro informed this Com
pany possesses both, and wo may congratu
late ourselves that there is now a prospect ol
our hitherto too much neglected wealth being
made available, and tho stockholders of the
Company richly reimbursed for any invest
ments made.
The follow ing if the act of incorporation:
AN ACT to Incorporate the Cotumtin Coal
■and Iron Company.

Columbia Coal and Icon Company,Tho Cap

hundred thousand dollars; with the privilege
of increasing the same, in tho sutT! of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars more ; 30d
the said Company may hold not exceed
ing throe thousand acres of land at any ono
time in (he countios of Columbia and Mon
tour, and the said Company shall havo the
same powers, liberties, privileges, and immu

conditions, as are imposed on tho Anlbara

day of May 1839, and the said Company, are
hereby further authorized to employ, such
portion of their capital as may be necessary,
in tnining coal, constructing rail roads, and
in transporting to matkst and in vending the
produce of their lands, and mines, and in
dealing in such articles of personal property
as may be necessary tocr.ablo them success
fully to cairy on their operations. Provided-.
That the said Company shall pay to the
Commonwealth a tax of ono half of one per
centum, on its capital stock, in fivo annual
instalments. The first whereof shall bo paid

Alarming Cnso r CommlUcc-phoblu.
li is an al*rmii% fact that the nan of dis
appointment* in .laboring under an attack of
Comtniitee.pbobia,; which may prove fatal to
him in those dog-days. The wound proves
what bit l.im. The Standing Committee did
not consult Aim—did not aond Aim as dele
gate to Harrisborg—did not go tor him for
Canal Commissioner, and bine ilhc lachrymie
therefore shall there be a thunder storm in
general—therefore shall there be no moro
light for the poor Stay. However if he gets
through tho dog-days we shall still shine,
and the Standing Commiiteo will be able to
stand it.
l'oot fellow! To show how tabid he is
it V* only necessary to observe that in his fury
anil mental hallucination ho delusively ima
gines Daniel Loe the Chairman of the Stand
ing Committee, while that gentleman it not
anil has not within the yeas been even u member
of the Committee. The Colonel is so far gone
that the poor fellow actually don't know
whom he is fighting; ami visions of our
friend Daniel rise in his mom.ory from last j
fall's contest and ho lots Vive. Well, an
evil conscience is a'.wp.ys troubled with vis
ions of its wickc'tin&gs in the past. The good
book tells he iv ,n olden times the prophets
of error born testimony agaim't honest
Danie'i br jCauSß |, O oulJ not bow the knee
l r . an d W e ktiotf that our modern Dan
'j'l has suffered some in the same manner
Ins liia ''illustrious predecessor" of old.
No doubt tho Colonel would put Daniel
I and the Star in the lion's den or the fiery far
nace—if he could. In his severe mania du
ring last year's dog-dujs tho spirit of evil
prompted him to boar false lostimony—rav
ing that his neighbor had joinod the Know-
Nolhiugs in Philadelphia at a time when the
man was in Bloomtburg, and which proved
to be Sunday! The Know-Nothings woro
shocked at die blunder of thoir tool and we
know ono of them who sworo '• that non-/
sense must be stopped." "
No wonder tho Colonel don't like the op- |
orations of the Democratic patty in this coun
ty. Hp could not make it go for Hubloy and '
Cameron at Willismsport, although ho (lung ■
out the Ilublcy flag to ibo breeze with a tri- '
urn pliant shout, lio could not prevouyjie '
Standing Committee from sending Mr. Rout j
to the Stato Convonlion in 1851, when tho '
Colonel ktul his aids raised the famous con- j
venlion of seven to butcher poor Roat, and ,
that convention Llowcd itself up, while a sub
sequent /id/convention of tho people endorsed
and confirmed tho appointment of Mr. Roat j
by the Standing Committee, and he took his '
teat in the Stale Convention. That was a timo 1
too when Judges of the Supreme Court and !
other officers of importance were to ho nom- 1
inated, and when a Canal Commissioner had j
some power and influence. Tho Main Lino
was not then, as now, to be sold, nor tho
North Branch Extension taken from the Ca
nal Board.
But the party of the county did not go for
tho Colonel for Canal Commissioner, nor lor
Revenue Commissioner, nor for delegato to
tho Slate Convention, nor allowed him to
control tho formation of die county tickets,
and thcrcforo he determines it shall have a 1
general blowing up—i( ho can do it. He |
begins at tho Standing Committee, beeauso
the whole party is rather to much for even
his military valor to attack at once.
What, he a Democrat ! A man who don't
know who is Chairman of die Democratic
Standing Committee—who twice within the
past two years opposed tho Democratic tick
et—two years ago supported the Whig can
didate and last year the Know-Nothing vol
unteers ! A pre'ty Democrat truly! Why
Simon Cameron himself is a belter one.—
yVd warrant Simon kr.ows who is the Chair- :
man o( 'ho Standing Commiiteo both in bis
county atli! in.'"' No wonder we lately caught
n Whig lawyer hf ihe Prothonotary's ofltco
coaxing a client who "fid he intended to
advertise in the STAR to £'" ve advertise
ment not to a "d—d Loco-tod" ' hut to the j
man of the Democrat who waa"ntJ '.odp-joco
to hurt." Wo shall try to deserve all sf'th I
compliments. For the past years the Demo-I
crat has done all the dirty work of tho Whigs j
and Know-Nothings, which they were asha- '
mod to do themselves; and it deserves its !
pay from them But by tho time their load- j
eri suffer ns much from Its malicious and '
Uiercena-y propensities as the Democrats 1
have tht'y will be like the Frenchman who j
won the elephant at a raffle—they wontj
know whet to do with tho aniulul.
If tho S'unding Committee had appointed
llio Colonel as delegato tvery thing would
no doubt havo been right— except that he
woulJ hnvc ben voted out of the Stato Con
vention along with Ferrco and Reel for hav
ing supported Know-Nothing'landirintes and
opposed Democratic nominees. They wore
voted out for having supported one —ho had
gone for three; nnd in tho hot campaign of
last fail, when Bigler and Wright were struck
down, he never said or printed a word against
the now parly.
No doubt tho Know-Nothings would havo
boon delighted if tho Standing Commiiteo
had called a county convention, and are very
cross because no cbsnco was given them lo
instigate strilo and division in the Democrat-,
to ranks. Tho Democrat proves that fact.—
Its masters aro mad. They wanted to find a
number of defeated and disappointed dele
gates in the several townships whom they
could lap on the shoulder and convince how
badly they had been treated in the DTFB-
cratic ranks, with the offer of better
they would turn lo be Know-Nothings. They
were ready to practice tho art of tho old spir
it of evil who tempted for homage with tho
promise of the whole world when the poor
devil had not a foot of it to giro. It wohUI
have been a fine field for mischief, and tbe
Standing Committee, after full consultation
with best Democrats of the county, did like
the Commitioe of last year, when there was
no complaint at such action, and when thore
was even a Governor to bo nominated. They
did like Iho Standing Committees of Mon
tour, Luzerne, end in fact onq half tbe coun
ties of tho Stato this year, and disappointed
the instigators ol mischief. Lei these rave

1 Another Hiturr,ct I'rodlpnl.
To the hakior of human nature it is Iron
that all men are over-credulous to }ho honied
and seduoing word* of promise in man. Tho
evanescont strength of Know-Nothiogism laid
in this trado upon the credulity and generos
ity of frail human nature. Whatever evils
men complained of in society theso men
promised lo remedy. Whatovor wrongs there
waro in the public policy they promised to :
reform. They offered as certain cures for all |
ailmonts of the body politic as tho vender of
patent pills offers for the ills of tho human
system. Mwn who thought all men an hon i
est as themselves bought—and were sold.
Others fell into the net from itching ambi
tion; and like Themistocles ol old betrayed
the causo of the people ; but when the time
came fo: arming against the good old causo
and leading on the fray the weapon foil from
the nerveless grasp; and the Persians must
lead themselves if Greece is to bo attacked.
Wo remember right well the shout of joy
that went op all overlhe Stato when BENJA
MIN H. BREWSTER was welcomed as an apos
tate by his old enemy, and how the revenues
of three provinces were sot apart for him—
when they should once ho taken. He was
tempted with the promise of the United States
Senalorship. He had been disappointed in
his aspirations in the Democratic party, and
had seen demagogues in some of its high
places. He was brilliant, enthusiastic and
ambitious—ho was sorely tempted and ho
fell.
Yet has ho not been lost. Ho has scon
how the painted liesh pots in tho Soerot Coun
cil were filled only with husks, and ho comes
back in tho spirit of troe repentance to warn
tho brethren of his father's household and of (
his early faith.
Ho was invited by the KnowNothiiigs to
address them at Reading on the past lth of
July, and in answer sent tho following matt- |
ly and ruodert letter ol declination:
SATURDAY EVESINC 23d June, 1855. j
t York Buildings, Walnut st., I'hil'a. j
MY DEAR Sm ; —I rccoived your letter to
day. I cannot accept your invitation—l do
sire to tako no aclivw part in politics. Be
sides, I feel obliged lo say, that I do not sub
scribe lo the doctrines ol the American Par
ty, as they havo been pronouncod by the
Convention. As I havo before this said, it
will be well to correct tho abuses of tho Nat
uralization Laws, secure their proper admin
istration, ami amend their defect*—further
than this lam not prepared to go. To do
more would be lo do evil, and tho end is per
seculion. It has been the hopo of alt men
who valued the right and duty of sufliage, lo
correct tho errors of our two great parlies,
with relorenco to tho naturalized voters.—
But ovils, which af'.or all in a country like this
can on'.y bo transient, should not bo remedi
ed by subverting tho very foundations of re
publican democracy. We must not attempt
to check tho abuse of a great principle by
trampling the principle itself under foot. Suf
frage is a political right, hut as we have hith
erto taught and practised, it is a human right
due lo a man, bocauso of his manhood. Be
ing governed by society, ho may say how lie
shall be governed. To regulate this right,
would be proper—to abridge ami wholly re.
fuse it, would be wrong. To frown down
and punish demagogues, who would combine
bodies of Naturalized Voters to corrupt and
demoralize the Democratic parly, and aluiso
the Democratic principle of suffrage, would
bo right and just. To prevent by law, the
recurrence of those pernicious conspiracies
is all that should bo asked—more than that
would bo lo make slaves of those men who
were prescribed, Btrip them of their manhood,
and degrado a republic of Domocrats into a
popular despotism. For my part, I never
havo thought, and 1 can never bolieve, that
it is either wire or jnst lo enurt laws and en
courage opinions, that will result in religious
or even political intolerance. It is hard
enough from tho very infirmities of our na
tures, to suffer our individual judgments to
be tainted with prejudices arising from differ
ences of opinion ; but let us not corrupt our
la' v 8 or our political organizations, with the
polloD etf roligiotls or political persecution.
Such thlilg'A "-""d in tyranny, degrading alike
to iho ruler ana (hs rulod—whether the ruler
bo n great popular par'v or s monarch, or
iho ruled bo a miserable of a wretch
ed beaicn down minority, ft is ?■' '"hu
man.

A Voice from A W*ud.
g. -
\\ e woro very forcibly struck with the truth
of Col. Wright's remark at Harrisburg, that
if Hewy C.lay and Daniel Webster ware now
alive, they would lie opposed to the narrow
bigotry pf Know-Nothiugvsm To verify il,
a son of llonry Clay has been tufting tho
stump against tho new Amoiican'' organ!-
: zatioit. Tho Kentucky Stalosman says that
: a great Interest was manifested to he*r the
! fim! politics! speeoh of the son of so renown
j ed an orator as Ilchry Clay, and a very largo
coflcotirso of citizens attended the meeting.
'J'tio speech is given as loilows : •
The next gentleman who took the stand
was Mr. James 11. Clay, who as we havo al
ready remarked, is tho son of the great states
man, and has succeeded to the paternal es
tate of Ashland.
Mr. Clay said that this was his first effort
at a public speech, and nothing less than the
profound interest which bo fell in the great
queatiuns at iseuo, could induce him to ap
pear on ibis occasion. Nover before had
such extraordinary, such alarming, such nov
el questions beon presented for the political
consideration of the American people, llis
apprehensions were aroused in view of them,
and he sometimes trembled fur the fate of
tho country,,. The idea that this government
was to bo taken into the keeping of a secret,
political, oath-bound organization, which set
up unconstitutional tcstoutbs, and tho mem
bers of which were bound to each other by
tho most tcrriblo obligations, was to him
most alarming, aud should, in his judgment,
arouso tho apprehensions of every patriotic
man in tho wholocountry.
Mr. Clay denied that the platform put forth
by tho lato Know Nothing Convention at
Philadelphia, was tho real platlorm of tbe
parly—parly did I call them, said he : no,
they ate not a party in any proper acceptation
of tho term. Parties have heretofore been
open, public ar.d above boatd ; but this is a
secret, oath-bound, political organization,
which is seeking after Iho political power ol
iho country, by ways and mentis unknown !
to the law, and in palpablo disregard of thn
long-established usages of the peoplo and
tho history of tho Government. Il sought
political power, not by open and fair moans,
but by secret plotting*, by cabalistio pass
wotds, by signs and grips, unknown to the
people at largo, ami in palpable violation of
the wholo spirit aud genius of the Govern
ment.
No, said he, the true platform of this ex
traordinary organization is to bo found in
their oaths and ritual. There wero to bo
found iho things which they wero sworn to
do and to carry out, and looking into theso
oaths and the ritual, ho found that their ob
jects were to strike at the citizen ot foreign
birth, at the immigrants from other countries,
to disfranchise, degrade and disgrace them,
by depriving them not only of the right to
Americanize themselves, hut by rutting them
off from the rights of hospitality and human
ity. They also sought to disfranchise and
Jogrado another class of our citizens, wheth
er native born orToreign, on account ofiheir
religions opinions, iu plain violation of tho
Con.-titntion of the country, and regaidloss of
tho plainest dictates of justice-and human'
Mr. Cl.iy said thai, rather than submit any
extended remarks o( hir ownxm Ibcso sub
jects, ho had chosen to collate tho expressed
atid authentic opinions of tlur old fathers of
I the republic ; and he read extensively from
the wrrbgs of Washington, of Jefferson, of
i Madison, ol Jackson, of Quincy and others.
I Me concluded his happy effort by saying
| that, though the old whig parly, with which
j lie had always acted, was broken and dis
| perscd, yet ho appeared there a3 one of the
eld rear guard of that onco powerful and
great party ; and iu that capacity he protest
oil against this pew organization, as fraught
with dangor to his country and its liberties;
and ho called upon all tho old liners of the
whig party to join him in the protest.
Iho Portland It tut.
Tho Portland Advertiser contains iho ver
dict of tho jury in the case of tho second in
quosl on the body ot John Bobbins, shot du
j ring tho lute riot in Portland. The jury find
that Bobbins camo by his death from a mus
| kit ball, fired uithor by a niombor of tho Ri-
I tie Guard or soma person aciing as a volun
teer, by order and command of Ncal Dow,
Mayor of the city ; dial the Rifle Guards
were 01,1 under a precept signed by
the Stale, ai.J wholly void ; that although
the Mayor and sonio J>l 'ho Aldcrmou had
reason in tho easly pail 01 Iho to appre
hend a disturbance, thoy took no raeens to
prevent the assemblage ; and that, in the ear
ly stage of the proceedings, a few policemen,
aciing in concert, could easily hava dispersed
it, and tint tho military, when,they discharg
ed their muskets, wore wholly out of sight of
tho crowd upon whom they firod,'and who
appear to havo had no provions. notice of
their proscncaor designs. Tho jury say no
proof was furnished of any exigency o.xist
ing requiring a resort to such extreme meas
ures, and that tho act is without any legal
justification or excuse. John Bobbins, they
decide, died by felony, and not by mis
chanco ; but whether his death was a mur
der or a homicide, they leave for Iho State
tribunal to decide. We suppose, therefore,
thai Dow will be indicted and tried.— Ledger.

The Battles In the Crimen.
Since the time of tho battle of Waterloo,
Juno 18, 1815, to the late general attack on
iho Redan and Malakoff works, in the south
ern division of Sebastopol, Juno 18, 1855,
just forty yoars afterwards, an English army
has met with so severo a loss in the fiolJ as
is reported in the last battle. The Boston
Courier says :
The great Afghan loss which the East In
dian army sustained was not in action. At
Iho battle of Waterloo, Wellington had under
his orders about 68,000 mon ; a moiety of
theso only wore British troops. Tho Prus
sians, under Bluchcr, camo up late iu tho
day—tlioy aro not iuoludetl in this estimate.
Wellington's total loss was less than 11,000
men from his army of 68,000. By far the
hcaviost portion of this fell upon tho British
troops, as all the troops under htm on that
day wcro not engaged in action. Neither
-the numbers of the French nor English who

A Itcmarkuble illnu.---.Viid a Universal
Itemed y tor Disease.
This city is now the home of one of the
most remarkable men of tho age—a man
who has traversed the civilized glebe, and
established in almost overy couniry which
ho has visited, the satu of bis medicines for
the relief ol human suffering, und which are
a cettain cure fur disesso in all its forms.—
Wo allude to Professor Thomas llolloway,
.of Loudon. It is uow several years since
i this benelaclor of the human race first pro
claimed to the world, thrliough Ihe British
press, that he had, after deep research, pre
pared a remedy that was sure '.o eradicate
disease. Yours of patient investigation into
tho laws of human physiology which control
our bodies in health und when diseased, led
to tho invention and preparation of the World
reuo vned Hollowy's Pills and ointment.—
(lis meritorious career is bounded by no
imaginary lines of latitude and longitude
short of those marking the confines of civil
ization itself. No isolated couniry or nation
was sufficiently exlenlive for tho operation
of his' enterprising and gigantic intellect.—
Wberover disease has a residence, there ho
has penetrated with his medicines, and left
an enviable and enduring reputation After
enlightening Europo, his fame spread ovct
Asia and the civilized portions of Africa and
finally appeared in America. Ho has trans
lated the cures he has peifornod arid the vir
tues of his medicines, into as many langua
ges as tho missionatics huvo tho Bible.—
Governments, otherwise the most tlespotic,
have been forced by (ho groal value of his
medicines, and their popularity with the
people, to ramove anticipate J and time-hon
ored restrictions upon tho introduction ol for
eign medicines, and open their custom hou
se* to a free introduction to tho pills and oint
ment of this distinguished man. Empires
and kingdoms removed the barriers of ages
against the introduction and sale of propitisry
or patent medicinos, and freely permitted
Hollovvny'a medicinesfl becomo the physi
cian ol the masses.— AT. Y. Dispatch. '

HOLLOWAWS OrNTMENT AND PILLS, certain
Remedies for Rheumatism.—Henry Foot,
aged 52, of Natchez, Mississippi, was a se
vere sufieror from this complaint, and tried a
number of tenured remedies, hoping they
would benefit him, but he became so bad at
last as to be entirely confined to his bed, and
lie was unable "to movo either hand or foot.
While he was in this horrible condition, a
Itlcinl brought him a quantity of Holloway's
Ointment and Pills, which he immediately
commenbed to use, he soon found himself
gradually improved by them, and by perse
vering with them for eleven weeks, ho was
entirely cured, and has since enjoyed the best
of health. It.

PILLS.—The combinations of ingredients in
these Pills, is die result of u long and ex
tensive practice; tiny aro mild in their oper
ation, and certain' in restoring natuco to its
proper channel. In every instanco have the
Pills proved successful. Tito Pills invaria
bly open those obstruction* to which females
aro liable, and bring nature into its proper
channel, whereby heath id restored,and the
pale and deadly counlcnanco changed to a
healthy one, No female can enjoy good
health unless eho is cgutai ; and whenever
an obstruc.ion lakes place, whether from ex
posure, cold, or any other cause, the general
health immediately begins to decline, and tho
want of such a remedy has bcei: tho cause of
so many consumptions among young fomata.
To ladies whore health will not permit an in
'crcase of their family, Ibcec Pills will prove
a valuable acquisition, as they will prevent
pregnancy. Headache, painin tho side, pal
pitation of tho heart, loathing of food, and
disturbed sleon do most alwa*s arise from the
int ertuption of nature; and whenever that is
the case, the Pills will invariably remedy all
these evils. Nor ore ihey lass efficacious in
