SPURIOUS PATRIOTISM.
When we come to look at it calmly and
considerately, the pretensions of those pros
fessing to be the friends of the dear peo
ple on the question of taxation, are most
transparent. Those who have established
and are sustaining the True Press newspa-.
per are notoriously the richest Black Repub
lican property holders in the community.
The history of their lives is a record cf se
ishness, and now, an they have ever done,
they are laboring for their own pockets, and
not for those of the dear people whose in
terests they claim to have nearest their
hearts. Their loader sought political posi,
tion from the party to which-he belongs, and
having failed most ignobly in securing a
nomination for Congress from his own party,
comes out from Echrexefuslve - and - aristueratio
"shelland cries, "Lo! I, Thomas ,Williams,
am the friend of the people I Behold what
I, even I, have done for you, and listen to
what I will do, if you only elect me to Con.,
gress. This is all I ask from you. Give me
this and I will upset the Supreme , COurt ;
and the law, of the land shall be as chaff be
fore the breath of my- nostrils I But, boy
dear and much injured people, I cannot be
elected by the votes of the Black Republican
party which I have made, and upon whose
platform I stand, and to you, 0 Democrats,
I call in this my hour of need. It mats
tors not that in times gone by I could smell
a mechanic across the street matters not
that I have maligned-and traduced yourselves
And the patriotic men of your party—it mat..
tern not that I ' stand whero I ever stood' on
the Abolition-Republican-Know Nothing plat
form, and shall not aot as a Congressman if
I am so fortunate as to be elected, with the
National Democrats of the country—eall this
is of no .consequence now. For this once I
am the friend of the people—the poor people
especially, and I call upon you to—

went, and now, 0 Democrats of the XXIId
Congressional District, ye are what I always
said you were—a set of miserable _wretches,
having no; interest in the county, if you
not vote for me. I have " managed" Butler
county through your Democratic office l / 4 hold•
ere. I have induced them to disregard their
party organization, and forego the best chance
they ever had to elect a Democratic Congress
men, that I, Thomas Williams, the brilliant
orator, the great law'yer, the father of Black
Republicanism, and the friend of the people,
may be glorified by a seat in the Halls of
Congress. I, Thomas Williams, have done
this thing."
Will the Democracy .be hoodwinked into
the support of Mr. Williams, by the shallow
devices which he has used, and the
. open
treachery to the party of their own agents,
who found it " inexpedient" to make a norni ,
nation at Bakerstown? We think not. Mr.
Williams seeks to go to Congress purely to
gratify' his own vanity and personal ambition.
What cares he for the people, and especially
for the Democratic people ? What has he
ever done for the Democracy; except to ridi
cule their principles and malign their public
men? What does he intend to do, except to
pursue the same course hereafter, that he has
done heretofore? He "stands, where he has
ever stood, upon the Republican platform,"
and with these words in his mouth and re.it
crated by his organ—.the True Press, he asks
for Democratic votes to elect him to Cow
gressil! His antecedents, his instincts, and
his associations are all anti-Democratic. He
seeks now but to save the rich property hold
ers from disgorging a portion of their rent,
rolls, gathered frcm the hard earnings of the
poor. He loves the aristocracy of wealth, and
desires that gold may accumulate in the cof
fers of purse proud aristocrats, to be spent in,
gay London parties, and not in such improve
month as benefit the people. His soddenly,
excited love for thorn is but a politician's
means to gain his own aggrandizement. If
he gain his object, he will drop his patriotic
cloak as though it were the garment of Nese
sus. If he do not gain it, he will be outra
geous at the very people whom he noNv,pats
on the head, and calls the dear 'people, and:.
then again he will " stand where he has ever
stood," the fast and unwavering friend of
Thomas Williams, and the coterie of wealthy
and disappointed Black. Republicans, who
stand around the True Press.
It is for fore him and such as he, that a blow
has been attempted at the integrity of the
Democratic organization in the XXIId Dis
tricit. But the attempt will prove a failure.
The sterling Democrats of the district, nombeli
ing five thousand men, will never consent to •
the sale to Thomas Williams, by the "sit.
wise men" who went to Bakerstown. The
twenty-six hundred Democrats of Butler
County, are not even offered anything in re
turn for asking their support of a'Blaok Re•
publican. We are well assured that neither
they, nor the National Democrats, in the Al..
legheny portion' of the 'District, will submit
to the outrageous and most Anti•Democratie at
tempt to place them in the hands of the
Philistines. They will uphold the party or
ganization and place in the field a sound and
reliable Democrat, and certainly they-have
now iZmost rare opportunity of triumphantly
electing such a ono.
Tay. Gazette puts a series of ugly questions
to Mr. Thomas Williams. What right has it
to know what took place in his " back office."
The public will be satisfied if the Gazette dis
cusses what the Black Republicans do out
side of their back offices. This intermedling
with private affairs, is shameful. Mr. Wil■
liams made the Black Republican party is
that back office, and a nice institution it is to
be sure. Let Mr. Williams and his back of
five alone, Mr. Gazette. People that go gro
ping around " back offices," are apt to get des
filed, and we know no plane where this result
would be more probable than Mr. Williams'
back office aforesaid.
Pennsylvania Editorial Convention
The Editorial Association of Pennsylvania,
will hold its next meeting at Philadelphia,
on the 30th day of October next. The last
convention was held at Sansom street Hall, in
that city, and about twentyifive represents ,
tives were present. The first organization was
then and there effected, and no ono of the
members who attended the sccial meeting
after the adjournment, can forget the courte
sy that was shown by the city editors to their
country friends. Let us hope that the same
interest which carried delegates to that as
semblage from the extreme western part
of the State, will again induce them to
attend in a body. It is highly desirable that
the newspaper publishers of Pennsylvania,
should be better acquainted with each other.
Judge Wiliam A. Porter
The Somerset Democrat thus truthfully al
ludes to our nominee for Judge of the Su•
preme Court : " During a brief visit to Pitts•
burgh last week wo had the pleasure of meet
ing Judge Porter and making his acquaint•
ante. He is a polished geritleman—in the
prime of life and the vigor of manhood.
He is pre-eminently qualified for the proper
discharge of the duties of the high and hon
orable position which his Democratic fellow
citizens desire to assign him. He is a man of
great practical judgment, sound common
sense, and talents of the highest order, which,
combined with his high literary acquirements,
enable him to bring to the discharge of his
official duties, a degree of judgment, practical
experience, and profound legal lore which is
rarely, if ever, met with in men of his age.
We heartily wish every voter in Somerset
county knew him, and feel assured that they
would than agree'with us in saying he would
be a credit to the bench, and an honor to the
S.Lltc._"

Who Chesil iDontest in England:
: From . infoimation received by the Vander
141t, we learn that Paul Morphy, the young
American chess player, won the match he was
playing with Herr Lowenthal, the score at
the close standing thus : Morphy, 9 ; Lowen
thal', 3 ; drawn, 2. The match was for $5OO.
The Birmingham chess tournament has re
sulted (much to the surprise of the England
chess world) in Herr Lowenthals winning
the first prize. Mr. Stanton, the great player
who so unsparingly criticised both Morphy
and Lowenthal in the columns of the Illustra
ted London News, was beaten handsomely by
the last named gentleman, who scored two
straigh f games—thus winning the prize. Some
time since, Herr Lowenthal was in the habit
of receiving the odds of the pawn and move
from Stanton, but now there seems to be but
little difference between them ; if any, it is in
Lowenthal's favor.
Mr. Morphy's feat of playing eight blinds
folded games is astonishing Gall England.
Seven of them he won, and one he lost,. He
is now in Paris, where he will play with Harr
witz and other continental players. The
match between Stanton and Morphy for 85,-
000 will be played in London, commencing
the first week in November. In the mean
time the young American has engaged to play
n.match of twenty-one games with Prof. An
derssen, of Preslaw—supposed to be the best
player in the world.

these men will faithfully perform their duty. Let

I am confident that we can win, and a triumph

BENJAMIN CRAWFORD,
Supervising Inspector
SOUT4I-WESTERN MISSOURI.
At the present time, the south-western per-
tion of Missouri is attracting a large share of
public attention as a suitable point for emi
gration. The following statements in regard
to the soil, climate, water, mineral resources,
&c., of this district, aro from the report of G
C. Swalow, Geologist of the State of Missouri,
to the Secretary of State, and are reliable.—
In regard to the culture of the grape in this
region, we may remark that, we are credibly
informed that there are grapes growing wild
in Jasper county, of better flavor than these
which are cultivated in Westernennsylva..
nia and Ohio. These are nauiage grapes
by the early settleas, and are thought to be
the best wine grape in the United States.
Mr. Swalow, in his report, says
The alluvial bottoms of the Osage, Niangne,
Pomme de Terre, Sae, Marais dos Sygnea, Grand
and Spring Rivers, Turkey, Horse, Deep Water,
Dry Wood, Muddy, Centre, Shoal, Oliver's,
Hickory and Sugar Creeks, are but little inferior
in fertility to the 51 id3tkul i bottom, and all cover
ed with a heavy growth of the characteristic
timber. All of these bottoms produce superior
corn, and many of them are adapted to the pro
duction of hemp. Vast areas of high timber
land and prairie, also possess strong, durable
and productive soPs, admirably adapted to the
culture of wheat, corn, oats, tobacco and grass,
while the remainder is suitable for grazing pur
poses and the production of timber.
But the southwest is doubtless better adapted
to the culture of the grape than any other part
of this or the neighboring States. Nature has
endowed this part of the country with a tempe
rate, dry and salubrious o imate, and a light,
rich, calcareous and vegetable soil, which pro
duces a vigorous growth of the native vines.
And besides, the high bluffs of magu sian lime
stone of the Calciferous and Potsdam age ; on the
Osage, Niangue, Pomme de Terre, Sac and Grand
rivers, usually present natural terraces covered
by a rich boil, all wonderfully prepared by na
ture for the planting of vineyards. It is quite
certain, in short, that the cultivation of the grape
in the southwest may be made a source of great
profit and national wealth. But there is another
and higher consideration which should load us to
encourage the production of native wines ; as the
vigor and sobriety of the nation would be greatly
prompted by substituting the pure healthful
juice of the grape for the drugged and poises ous
liquors so abundantly manufactured and con
sumed at the present doy.
Timber.—The alluvial bottoms, on the streams
of this part of the State, sustain a Very heavy
growth of white, blue and prickly ashes ; laden ;
red birch ; buckeye ; bog-.elder , sycamore ; coffee
tree ; cotton-wood ; American, slippery and wa
hoo elms ; honey locust ; hack-berry ; common,
thick shelbark and pignut hickories; pecan;
black and white walnuts ; red bud sugar and
white maples ; mulberry, bur, swatnrwhite,
eseenut- white, laurel, red and pin oaks ; papaw ;
red plum, and the summer and fox grapes ; while
a large area of the high lands is timbered 7, iith
yellow pine ; white, post, claesnut, black, laurel
and black-jack oats; common and black hicko
4es ; hornbeam ; ironwood ; red bud ; pereimon
ffid dogewood. Timber exists in sufficient qfian
titles to supp'y all the necessary demands for its
oonsumption, particularly in u country where
hedges of the Usage orange oan be sumeasfully
cultivated, and where stops fence t i can be made
at so small a post.
Stoc4.—The Sonthwest possess'es many advan
tages for raising stock, particularl; neat cattle,
horses, mules and sheep. 'the broad prairies
furnish excellent grazing for the long salubrious
summers ; and the winters are so short and mild
that but little feeding is necessary. Indeed, the
drovers a Ibis part of the State have been able
to compete most successfully with tlio4o ;row. the
other divisions of this and the adjoiniug State's
in the St. Louis market.
Wheat, corn and tobacco might be produced
in any deirable q uantity , but the price of
transportation is smell that but little is grown,
save vital is 130040 a for domestic oonsuffiption.
Water power is very adc.ndot in this part of
the State ; good mill eites may be obtained on
nearly all of the larger streams and on ninny of
the epilogs. 4r3ree'a spring, above mentioned,
furnishes the best miD eito observed iu the
State. The large and constant quantity of r:a
ter and its even temperature render it twat de
sirable, as no ice ever forms in it to obstruct the
machinery, as no drought makes a scarcity of
water, erid - no flood. ever endangers the safety of
dam or mill. tsne can estimate with precision
how strong a dam must be to raise agti retain
the water at any given height, and how ranch
machinery can be driven by the constant die
ohargelf 11,000,000 cubic feet of water per di
em. 41se, giortrishing mill now occupies tide
site.
Gctnter's spring, below Bryce's on Ito sikase
stream, discharges about half as muoh water,
and in other respects affords the same advantage
as the lager. It drives a sawmill and perk ips
other machinery.
Grand Fans, on Shoal Creek, furnishes a tl
parlor mill site, now occupied by Scott and
Stewart's mill. Plate VI, page 96, gives a tine
view of the Falls and mill.
Mineral IVealth.-9 condensed view of what
io known of the mineral wealth of the South ,
West, has already been given on pages 159
154.
The Clinuee is mild and salubrious; and sum
mers are long and temperate; and the winters
warm and abort, and not subjeot to the sudden
and extreme changes so,prevalent iu some parts
of the West.
This part of the State is filling up very rapid
ly with an enterprising population , new dwell
ings meet our view on every side ; while, on one
hand, the forests are disappearing before the
axe'of the pioneer—the prairie, on the other,
is yielding to the plow.
Liebelion In Giddings' District
The pent-up fires of rebellion—which have
been smoldering in Joshua R. Giddings' Dis
trict, in Ohio, ever since ,he was defeated
in the Congressional nomination—have at last
burst forth. B. N. Richmond, a Republican
of the blackest dye, is out as an Independant
candidate against Hutchins, the regular cau
cus nominee. " Things are working," even
on the Western Reserve.
—The Boston Post oti-thod7th instant says :
"Thiele the asnivertary of the sottlemen' of Bos
ton ; of the birth of Franklin : and the date of
submisgion d the Federal Constitution to the
States. A truly remarkable day, and one worthy
of perpetual commemoration. Here we have
themes touciing, as it were, the base of our
polity, the tewn and its apex, the Federal Con
stitution, and relating to the' first statesman of
note whioh the New World presented to the
contemplion of the Old World."
—How much gold they are picking up about
Frazer 'River may be imagined by and extract
from a letter from Fort Yale, of a recent date,
which says: t , I think there are about two
thousand z men within a mile of the Fort, and
about ten women. There are, perhaps, fifty
men at-work with rockers, and two hundred or
More are engaged in winter preparations, put
fing tip log houses Ste., within the same distance.
The balance, embracing men of all nations and
professions, are idle, gathering in knots, talk-
Ing, smoking, sleeping, hoping, watching the
river, wishing—gently enjoying their own
thoughts or listening to the `ifs' and huts' of
others ; and particularly attentive to the rela
tions of returned explorers. There is no riot
ing, no confusion, no gambling, no police, no
lawyers."
How TO 'CUP Poon —Buy two glasses of ale
every day, at five cents cacs, amounting in one
year to $36 50, smoke three segars, one after
;each meal, counting up in the course, of the year
to:ss4 75; keep a big dog, which will consume
ift a year at least $l5 worth of provisions, and
a oat $4 more—altogether this amounts to the
snug little sum 421'4110 25—sufficient to buy
several barrels of flour, hundred bushels of coal,
one barrel of sugar, one sack of coffee, a good
coat, a respectable dress, besides a frock for the
baby, and half,a-dozen pairs of shoes—more or
less. Just *ink of it!

Arrival of the Sitalnerqqorth BsUlan.
Qunnso, September 21.—The steamer North
Britain, from Liverpool, with dates to the Bth
inst., has arrived
There had been a cessation in the cable . 'sig- ,
nals ; there is no particulars, however. It is
believed the difficulty is near shore, and is rem
ediable. The shares have declined greatly,
At the groat cable banquet at Killarney, Mr.
Bright, the engineer, was knighted by the Lord
Lieutenant.
The political news are unimportant.
The reported Chinese ideranity to Franco and
England, is greater than was at first stated.
The Secretary of the Atlantic Telegraph says,
in a letter to the press, that intelligible signals
cea'-ed on the morning of the 31. The cause
was unknown. A corps of practical electricians
were in' t V , d;ntia investigating the matter. The
quotations of Atlantic telegraph shares were
quite nominal at 400 a 500, and no sales. The
Times thinks that this is only ono of those casu
alties to which the cable must be liable till mew
sures are completed for the protection of the
portion near the shore. Dr. Whitehouse, the
principal electrician, thinks the trouble is near
Valentin, in a spot he had previously repaired.
He has no doubt of ultimate and complete suc
cess. Whitehouse has been dismissed from the
service of the company.
