Tho "Whigs in the diffcrcrt townships, should organize,' and - prepare for battle. Let them give Got." Bigler, such a demonstration in his own home, as shall re buke his miserable non-committalism, which has disgusted his friends, and exposed him to the con tempt of his enemies. Let them endorse tho hon est, manly frankness of our candidate, who openly meots all the issues of the campaign, and whoso noble independence, call3 for the respect of both friends and foes. ' ' " With anything like an organiiation, Pollock will bo elected by an overwhelming majority, lie is a noble loader, who will enter the contest with his whole soul, and use every honorable exertion to promote the success of the glorious principles of our party. In his own language ho "will labor to deserve success," and if the whigs stand by him, 'i and follow him into tho thickest of the battle, Gov. $ Bigler, will be burried in a political grave, next - October, so deep that "plummet line can never uound his tomb. - '" " ' " . Gov. Bigler at Home. We have been frequently asked by persons in other parts of the State, whether Gov. Bigler will run as Iare a vote at the ensuing election, in his own County, as he did threo years ago? - If our own information, which we hare obtained from the most authentic sources, can be relied upon, we may safely answer that he will not. The feeling of dissatisfaction that prevails all over the State 'exists also in Clearfield, and will tell at the ballot box, a mournful tale to the friends of an adminis tration whose acts have been so utterly inconsis tent, and whoso political wire working ha3 been so absolutely disgusting, A3 that of Gov. Bigler. From the time of the appointment of Judge Campbell, after he had been rejected by the Dem ocrats themselves, up to the present, that feeling has been increasing and taking deeper root in the. ruinds of the people of Clearfield. . They were not top blind to sec the object of such an appointment; they were not too ignorant to knew that it was contrary to the popular will. Nor have they been so utterly devoid of sensibility as not to feel the fad consequences so plainly written, "that ho who rung may read " I Wc have naught to say personally against Gov. Bigler. We are not acquainted with his private history, nor if we were .would wc desire to bring it into the contest, whatever it might be. AVe have o doubt he is a gentleman, in every sense of the word, and should bo sorry to say aught to tho contrary.- We know and seo nothing but his public acts, and official conduct. These, it is the unalien able right of every freeman to review and criticise and no Democrat, whether his friend or foe, ' can find fault with u3 for doing so. It i3 not to be dis guised that these acts have been unsatisfactory to a largo number of his former supporters in Clear f field County. His admistration has failed to full- fill their reasosablo expectations, and like thou-i sands of their fellow-citizens in the Commonwealth; they will express their disapprobation at the polls. In 1851, ho ran some two hundred- votes ahead of his ticket in thi3 county, but his warmest friends cannot anticipate an approach to Mich a result,' at the ensuing election. Should he run jmtkiti that much of the usual locofoco majority in this county he will be eminently successful. But, it is a ques tion, that the ballot box only can answer,, whether he will have a majority at all. From the present aspect of affairs, we think the5 Democratic party ought not to be astonished if they, should lose Clearfield County. , " " , ; ppThe Featyvanian recommends us . to "tie V p,7 as our Taft is headed up stream en the other ' side of politics, and thinks.our oar cannot savo us dearly" ifitrong current setting in , against U3. - )T fi - a.T .

' The steamship Canada has arrived at Halifax with one weeks later news from Europe: Political events of great importance are daily transpiring all over Europe.

A change had taken place in the British Cabinet, which it was thought. would lead to a vigorous war. Lord John Russell had been appointed President of. the Council..

It is ono of the most excellent dailies published in the City. -- ; A Eailroad Its Practicability. ' It seems to be conceded by all those who have given their attention to the matter, that the route for a railroad from Tyrone to Erie, by way of Emigh's Gap in the Allegheny Mountains, is not only practicable, but crosses tho mountain at a much lower elevation than any other line, either proposed or in practical operation. It is likewise tho shortcst'routc,"'and can be constructed at less expense. It is som fifty miles shortcr.than the Sunbury and Erie Road, and it uses the largest portion of tho way, lines already constructed. ' There are few railroads in the country that pos sess natural advantages, equal to those that would be opened tip by this i line". ." Paseing through a country, not only abounding in vast stores of min-' eral wealthy but the only great pine lumbering re gion ia tho State, the whole road must in the very nature of things become the scat of a large manu facturing interest, as well as the channel of an ex tensive commerce. Thu3 its local trade assumes an immense importance from the large quantities of coal that must ot necessity pass over it, while the superiority of the article will always secure for it a ready market, so that there will be no doubt the demand will always be equal to the capacities of the road- ., ; ' Its importance to Clearfield county can scarcely be estimated. While, so far as our trade in lum ber is concerned, a railroad can never supersede tho use of tho river, it will yet open up a way for those owners too far from the river to be benefitted by it, to get theirlutnber to market. It will thus increase the demand for labor, while it will cheap en goods and espacially provisions, by increasing the facilities for bringing them into the country. It will also open up. a market that can never be overstocked for the immense qualities of coal and iron now lying useless and valueless entombed in' our hills. . , We have within U3 all theclements of a great manufacturing county, and the benefits that murt result from calling all these inactive sources1 of wealth into active operation can scarcely be con ceived. The fear that the conduction of a rail road, will injure the business of our mechanics and laboring men, is wholly witfiout foundation. Clearfield differs from almost every other portion of the State in this respect. The great business of our county is lumbering, upon which a railroad, can effect no alteration. The same number of men and horses, the same amount of labor, and tho same quantity of clothes and provisions will be required to get out tho lumber, then, as now. And though a railroad may. perhaps, bring down the prices of some of our manufactured articles, it will also proportionably cheapen the material, the provisions, and every thing else mechanics are re quired to use, while it will lower their taxes, and increase the population, thus increasing tho de mand for their articles. It is to the mechanic, the farmer, and the laboring man that it will prove of greatest importance, and it is the prosperity of this class of the community that increases the hap piness, wealth, and comfort of the whole. It is from-them that others must obtain their livelihood, and upon them they must depend fur all they can expect to receive And it is for them and their in terests, with which our own are identified, that we ardently hopo tho time is not far distant, when the shrill shriek of the iron horso, the axeman's cheer ful song.and the plough-boy's merry whistle, Ehall all combine to enliven our forests, and cheer our groves. ''.' " ' ' i Probable :War with Spain. . From tho present appearance of our relations with Spain, it would seem that President Pierco has fully determined on the conquest of Cuba, as the great and signal act of his administration. The "Washiaglon Union ' the organ of the Adminis tration, says "we arc free to state in terms so em phatic and unequivocal as to idmit of no misinter pretation that if ample satisfaction is not allow ed for the seizure of the Black Warrior, wo shall advocate an immediate blockade of the island' Thus to retrieve its fallen fortunes, and re-rain it3 lost strength the administration, seeks to involve the country in a warupon a feeble neighbor, sim ply to dispoil her of her territory, and bring more slave States into the Union. 3ut tha hfioic Frcs- idenf will find that brave, warlike, ar.d patriotic as our people may be, thy regard the mission of their country as one of peace, and that they will never consent to pour forth tho blood and treasure of the nation to extend the area of slavery, or to gratify the wanton ambition of the power3 that be." , -. ' , Our people will never sanction an attack on Cu ba, until ell negotiation shall fail, and that nego tiation, too, carried on through some other thau the present Minister, whose hot blocd has alreadv - V sufficiently disgraced the American Embassy. We want some ono else at the Court of Spain than a duellist and a "fillibustcr." A war of aggression and conquest upon a fecblo neighbor, brought about by the cxageration of cir cumstances that might bo settled by conciliation, is contrary to tho sentiment atid feeling of a free people: Experience ha3 taught ui? that the sword is not tho arbiter fot thought, and wo have lone since ; learned too highly to prizo human life, lightly to sport with it. The hour is passed, we hope too, passed forever, when tho strength or glo ry of a Republic, 13 to bo determined bv the num ber of its soldiers, or its power of its concentrated carnage.

Bigler and his fr iends.1 ' That Campbell "is a vastly overrated man," by some of the Democracy, wo think no ono acquainted with his politicuLbistory will deny, and if "no man con nected with, him politically can .bo elected to any office in Pennsylvania," what, pray, is to, bo the fate of Gov. Bigler? He is hi very good father; who raised him up from the position in which he was cast by the people of the State, and placed hTm in power, by appointing him Attorney-General; and it is to him that Campbell is indebted for hia present position in the Cabinet at AV ashington, for no one can be so silly as to suppose that Pierce, would remove an officer from the State Adminis tration, without at least, the knowledge and con sent of the Governor.. If true' ..the Union is cor rect, Gov. Eigler's fate is sealed, his defeat is cer tain, for Campbell will not resign, and his removal at'jthis ti.ne, would bo an act,' equal only in absur dity to his first appointment; an act, the barcfa cedness of which would not only betray the Catho lics, whom his appointment was intended to concil iuto, but disgust the Americans, to whom it would be a base pander. . The following is the article from the Union: , . AYill J as.. Campbell Resign? Thi3 is a ques tion we hear twenty times a day from gentlemen residing in different parts of the State? It is a serious inquiry, butouc which we cannot answer, llis resignation would, undoubtedly promote the interests of the Democratic party ; but our impres sion is, that ho would not resign, even if satisfied that nothing else could secure tho election of the Democratic, State ticket. We, think the better way is to call upon the President to remove him. He is a vastly overrated man, and is an injury to any party or administration with which he i3 connect ed. It is our drliherate opiuion that, at this day, no man connected tcith hint politically cun . be elected to anv office in Pennsylvania. It is' there fore, if ire. are correct, his duty to resign ; if ho does not) it s the luty ot the President to remove him. Nothing would tell more favorably at the coming election; indeed, Mr. Campbell out of the way, no combination of isms could beat the Demo cratic party. Such an event as his resignation or removal would create a T.eul and confidence in the Democratic ranks that 'would tell wonderfully at the next October election.- Let us hear , from AV ashington on this important subject. i - . WHAT D0E3 IT MEANT The little free soil soft .shell administration organ of this city, yclept t&c True Nuiional Democrat, is in a transition. It has become very feeble upon the thin soup of executive patronage, and is evidently resolved upon rai sing another distubance in the family on the Ir"uh question. Hear what it recommends as tho true policy of the Democratic party: " Ilonestly speaking, wc believe that the Democratic party will never become worthy of its noble principcls, until it thouroughly Americanizes all its views, and wholly alienates itself from all foreign influences. There ; arc, of course, exceptions to all general rules, and we are here and there acquainted with Irish men whose hearts are sound, and whose jndg ments honorable. But, as a body, the Irish arc always insinc jre,ahvays corrupt,always un pratcful, ignorant, bioted and despotic. They are unfit forfrcedom ami cannot properly appreciate it. Their sense of equality is noth ing but an intense selfishness, and their sense of justice, that which pays most for the most perfidy. From such elements of mischief, wc say, with the Kitual, "Good Lord, deliver us! as well as the Democratic party.'.' ; This is a naked proposition to swap ofT the Irish vote for the Know-Nothings. The paper advancing this proposition is an organ of the adminiatration. It is in the confidence of Gen. Pierce and his Cabinet. .Now, then, wedesire an answer "by authority" to this question : Is the True Nuiional Democrat authorised by the President, or Cabinet, or any of them, to throw out this proposition for casting off the Irish and adopting the Know-Nothings as the basis of the reorgimzation of the administra tion Democratic party? Can the Washington Union answer ? N. Y. Herald,' 13ih.-. The above quotation from the "True Demo crat" is, as will bo seen, directed alone at the Irish. It is j)lain to be seen that this Locofoco element of party strength is now discarded by the "Democracy." They are anxious to rid themsclvs of it ; and, whether orders to that effect have gone from AVashington city or not the fact is plain that Locofoco managers, al most everywhere, are already fully convinced that their party is rapidly on the wane, in consequence of its identity with Irishism. The New York Budget is quoting from the "xrue Democrat," to show fas wc supdoso.A that it does not unreasonably oppose the princi ples 01 t lie JN ative American party. This may be true, to some extent but, for one,' wc en dorse the American sentiment of no "Demo cratic" editor as genuine, until he joins with us in exposing to the people of this country the true character of the influence that seated James Campbell in the Cabinet ; nor yet, again until he has independence enough to tell his "Democratic" fellow-countrymen, that hun dreds and thousands of national office-holders of alien birth, arc now holding-places for which they arc indebted alone to, the secret but over shadowing influence of Komanism. - Let him "make a clean breast," and show tho American people that Pierco is steepod in the very guilt for which Scott, the greatest Captain of the age, was sacrifice'din advanced America Ban ner.

The 'American Banner,' commenting njKii tho cause .of the recent defeat of the Demo cratic party in Philadelphia, makes the follow ing remarks . ; . It Is true, perhaps, to some extent, that Kc braskaism, , Fillibusierisni, and Forney ism have contributed in a remote degree to the late tru!y "American" victory, and it ia equally true that the peculations in the Mint and the Collector' 'r Office on the State road, for the last few years, added to the following bill of par ticulars, have not lessened the influences that consimiated the result. It is said, and believed by many, that each Canal Commissioner, who has retired from office for the past few years has amassed princly fortunes while in, office, of from one hnndred thousand to two hundred thwtsaud dollars, and thatmany'of their xclu sivearon'tej in office, have. been -exceedingly successful in getting along in the world that two of his Excelency's favored confidential offi cers liave retired from office on fortunes of fifty thousand or seventy thousand dollars, andL that while his Excekncy was exclusively"" ieanli-bank," he Iras chartered nearly every bank that applied for a recharter, and among them a pliable pet institution, in this citv, for the reasonable period of xwesii "tears that" the State deposites were taken from the old Bank of Pennsylvania, where every body be lieved them secure, and placed in this pet in stitution, not so much for safty as convenience that tho destines of this great Commonwealth havc.bccn delegated by his Excelency to the keeping of two distinitishcd statesman ot this city, for the benefit of "oar foreign relations," viz: the man who refused all appointments in the gift of the Governor, nd the one who got all he asked for and the lease of the Se Railroad, given to some fourteen persons, per sonal and political friends, whose names are known, and the confirmation and ratification ot -that singularly honest transaction; the appoint ment of the Prothonotary of the Supreme Court here under peculiar circumstances not forgetting that Trinity Church case these with innumerable others, not necessary now to instance, may possibly have exercised an in fluence in the late rebuke. But superadded and all pervading was, and is the great life-giving principal of our Free Institutions, which has infused an enduring vitality and vigor, un known to papal despotism. It is the American Protestant sentiment, which is destined to hurl Governor Bigler and President Pierce from their exalted positions, and place in their stead men of known ability and . integrity, whose sympathies and affinities will not be ex clusively exercised in behalf of Foreigners and Papists to the exclusion f every thing Ameri can. An Open confession Good for the Soul. The following confession by the principal Democratic organ," at narrisburg, is a singular document,and we print it for the edification of our Democratic readers. When it is recollec ted that Campbell, was first raised from tho mire ly Bigler, and appointed to a place in hi3 cabinet, from which he was subsequently re moved, certainly not without Bigler's co-operation and consent by President Pierce, it will be seen that his Excelency gets occasionlyja rather "rough dig in the ribs." . . We never whine over a defeat when the re sult is not attributable to tho folly of those whomjthe Democracy have elevated to power. Notwithstanding our resect for the President of the United States, as a man and as a demo crat, it is nonsense to attempt to disguise tho fact that he has committed serious blunders. His appointment of Campbell was enough, of itself, to place the party in a false josition and endanger its success. " In making that appoint ment he listened to the advice of selfish men, aud the democratic party.in Pennsylvania,!!' no where else, must sutler for the indiscretion. t Ever 6ince the corrupt . bargin between Buch anan and Campbell, by the terms of which tho one was to be made President of the United States, and the other Judge of the supremo court of Pennsylvania, a determination has existed, on the part of an honest portion of the party, to defeat them and their friends, whenever or wherever nominated lor office ; and the real cause of our defeat in tho . city of Philadelphia may be traced to the 'appoint ment of Campbell and tbe nomination of his bosom friend, Hirst. This . is the truth in a nutshell; and no politician who understands the ropes and has any regard for truth will de ny it. The removal of Bronson, a linn demo crat, of the true grit, was an outrage on pub lic sentiment, and a serious injury to the par iy; but in Pennsylvania nothing was so fatal to the interests ot democracy as the appoint ment of James Campbell, who had been repu diated and defeated by the democratic party when cvrry other candidate on tbe ticket was elected by an overwhelming majority. The defeat of Hirst by nearly 12, 000 majority shows the unpopularity of Campbell in Phila delphia; and those who desire the success of the democratic party, in or out of the city may as well at once impress this solemn fact i; upon their minds. AVe know that we are speaking unpalatable truths, for which we ex. pect to be denounced; but the success of tho democratic party requires us to do so, and wo are willing to make any sacrifice in a good cause. . . ' - A Modal Democrat. ' : - " - Perhaps no whig paper ever spoke In such bitter terms of a political opponent, as the Democratic Uni on uses towards their own Post Master General. Ilear it. "And who is James Campbell? A pothouse politician of Southwark, and an obscure petti foging lawyer, who, to. this day, would have groveled in obscurity and tho dirty intri-" gues of ward politics, had he not but twelve brief years ago been plaeed upon the bench of the Philadelphia quarter sess ions. Judg-e Campbell lost no time" in improving all the ad vantages of his new position. By a shrewd dispensation of tavern licenses and of the court patronage, he soon assumed a danger ous influence in the politics of the city and county. The violence and corruption which, tinder his auspices, soon disgraced the dele gate lections,drove thousands of honest dem ocrats from the ranks of their party, and event ually led to the riots which disgraced tho city and county of Philadelphia, in 'II." - "The democratic party, as now organized", stands upon, the brink of a precipice! r The, time for temporizing is past.
