"We have received a neat little volume bear ing the above title, by the Rev. S. M. Cooper, of this place. The book is well written, and Rives an interesting account of the trials and ' sufferings of a Pioneer family. "We commend it to our readers, and regret that we Have not room this week, to give it such a notice as it merits. Bigler and the "Know-Hothings." , Judge Pollock has been charged with be ing a "Know Nothing," and although it has been denied, universally, by. the "Whig press, the Locofocos still re-echo the foolish and ab surd charge, and call for its denial by Judge Pollock himself. Now it has been charged upon Mr." Bigler, upon just as good authoity, that he applied for admission, and tea rejected. "Whenever, our Democratic friends show us Gov. Bigler's denial of this charge, over his own signature, we think we can promise them satisfactory evidence of Judge Pollock's posi tion. Will they do it t - In addition to this it is charged, and that tharge has neccr been denied, that Mott, their candidate for Canal Commissioner is a member of the order ! Can they procure his denial over his own signature ? We should like to see it. : Military Election. The 'Guards' at their election, on Monday, selected the following officers : Captain. William A.' Wallace. First Lieutenant. Josiah Wl Baird. -' Second Lieutenant. Thomas J. 3cCullough. Third Lieutenant. Coston McCullough. Ensign. Wm. R. ITemphill. .Quartermaster. David B. Rodkey. First Sergeant Geo. Wm. B beam, jr. ' Second Sergeant. Latimer R. Merrell. . . Third Sergeant. Wm. P. Beck. Fourth Sergeant. Wm. R. Barr. The company deserve great credit for their selection of men who not only understand their Beveral duties, but who are all clever fellows, good citizens, and fine looking soldiers. Should they ever be called to fight the battles of their country, we have no doubt, they, as well as the men under their charge, will do good service, and that none of them will ever fall with their backs to the enemy. Long life to the "Guards." " - Ty: t 3 - v : A fellow by the name of Copenhaver, in Huntingdon county, was convicted of larceny, and sentenced to two years in the Penitentia ry. Before his time had half expired, he was pardoned by Governor Bigler.

Unless the par don, was conditional, it fully , and entirely re mitted the prisoner of punishment whatev er, whether by fine or imprisonment, and it was not a conditional pardon, but concludes in accordingly." A pardon exempts the indi vidual on whom it jS bestowed, from the pun ishment the law inflicts for thecrime .ha has committed, be it -what, .it may." Such is the law, and -consequently the allegation of the "wreckles editors," alluded " to by some of the Locofoco papers, is not such a 'bare faced falsenood," as should cause them "to be held up to universal contempt." We would advise those who "use such language, first to, Jake the advice of .the renowned" Davy 'Crockett, ,f 'be sure you're right, then goahead."" " '. u FACTS AND FIGTOES." r In our last paper we published a statement showing the proportion of foreigners to native born citizens holding office under our Govern ment, which has been pronounced ,cas far from the truth as one zone is from the' other," (which, by the way, cannot be very far, as. the zones happen to be very sociable and conve nient neighbors, lying, as they do, side by side,) and we now desire to place ourselves "right upon the record." We observed, sometime since, in certain Democratic papers, an estimate of the number of foreigners hold ing office at 401, to 3903 Americans! We knew this at the time to be incorrect, but as we did not wish to follow in thc'J wake of our Democratic neighbors, and "insult the intelli gence of our readers by attempt ing to practice npon them so barefaced a deception," we for bore to notice it, until we had obtained the correct statistics, for the authenticity of which we could vouch. "After a careful examination of all the tables, lists, and estimates that we could obtain access to, on the subject, we came to the conclusion that the list published last week was correct, not from the fact, merely, that it was taken from a. neutral paper, (the narrisburg Borough Item,) but because the result of our careful examination proved it to be accurate in every particular. By that list, instead of 401, we have one thousand four hun dred and eighty-four foreigners, to seven An- dred and sixty-secen Americans ! In the Cus tom House, in the different States, we find employed 1337 foreigners to 215 Americans! Having used every proper precaution in ob taining this estimate, we d"fy any one to show that it is incorrect in any essential particular, So much for our side of the case. The Locofoco list estimating the number of foreigners at 401, also professes to be taken from a neutral paper, the Baltimore Sun! It exhibits a very singular kind of "neutrality," however, when it uses the following language a portion of the comments published with the list : "Can sufficient cause be found in this to aim at the destruction of the Democrat ic party ? Can any democrat annul his ancient ties to unite with such allies, the head and front of which at least is whieeery. &c." If this is "neutrality" then the Washington Union, the organ of the present Administra tion, is the most neutral paper in the United States! But what a farce to attempt to palm off" on an intelligent community the Baltimore Sun as a "neutral" paper, when everv on knows its columns to be tinctured with the same spirit of locofocoism that characterize the Philadelphia Ledger, and other indepen dent papers of the same stamp ! The employees in the Mint arc numbered in this list at 37 Americans no foreigners. Now, it is well known in Philadelphia that there are 12 foreigners in that establishment. It was charged boldly in the American Banner, and other papers, and has tever yet been satisfac torily denied. The Banner even published their names, and called upon the Democratic papers to show the contrarv to bcthe case if it was in their power. It has not, and we may reasonably presume cannot be done. And if their list be thus false in one particular, may we not safely cast it aside as incorrect in all, because "the facts arc easily : ascertained by any person making inquiry at the proper place. Hence there is no necessity for any person be ing deceived or attempting to deceive others, for detection and exposure must follow." In conclusion, what "food for reflection" does this estimate, of whose nftmoinpss fhrr J can be no doubt, present .to every American citizen ! A party, calling itself Democratic, and professing to be the only true lovers of their country and its institutions, thus pan dering to an influence whose tendency is de structive to every principle of American Lib erty ! Truly may we call it "stealing the livery of the court of Heaven, to serve the devil in !" The Borough Item, commenting on the dis parity between foreigners and native born cit izens in office says : "Xow will any one have the effrontery to say that such disparity as this, (taken especi ally, in connection with the fact stated by us yesterday, that the foreign population is but as one to ten in the Union,) is the result of an open undisguised effort to secure themselves position. Certainly not; and we must refer this strange discrepency to its true cause the existence of a hideous foreign order, who work darkly for the advancement of their own peculiar views which involve the destruction of everything dear to Americans. Xow, who can gainsay the right of the native-born of the sons and grandsons of those who perilled their all for liberty to countermine for- the destructien of this insidious foe ?" . .. Gross Libel on Bishop O'Connor." Our readers cannot - be. mistaken as to our opinion of Roman Catholocism, and will there fore regard what we are about to say, as dic tated only by a sense of that justice due to all men. An unfounded and attrocious libel, got ten up byr that nnprincipled and notorious scoundrel Joe. Barker, has been published in a number of papers, and has formed the theme of conversation among a large number of our citizens, accusing Bishop ; O'Connor, of the perpetration of an outrage, too diabolical, even to be montioned. The story is totally without foundation, and has called- forth the indignant denial of the Pittsburg Press, . The Gazette speaks of it as the worst species of persecution, which ought to be. frowned upon by the communityin self-protection, if for no higher motive,. for no man ; is safe if such as saults are encouraged,' Or are Viewed with in difference. Common humanity and a sturdy sense of justice should prompt the communi ty in which Bishow O'Connor lives to protect him against the vile libels of such a walking moral pestilence as Joe' Barker,' who disgraces Protestantism and humanity by 1 his' ribaldry and blasphemy. He has been suffered entire ly1 too long to pollute the youth of Pittsburgh and to scatter "firebrands; arrows and death" broadcast. The . community will in the end reap a terrible-harvest of evil for suffering such nuisance to exist among them."' r ; We oppose no religion, and we persecute no sect. We cannot endorse the polilical meas ures and sentiments of the Roman Church but, so long as we have power to raise onr voice in opposition, neither that Church nor any other, shall have it to say, that we silent ly assented to assaults and persecution, so nt terly aohorent and attrocious, as the above. The character, reputation, and rights, of Bish op O'Connor, are just as sacred as those of any other American citizen, and whether Catholic or Protestant, it is the duty of every man to see that they are protected. We are opposed to his principles, and condemn them in the strongest terms, believing theni injuri ons to our country and our institutions, but for his private character, we have the same respect, as for that of any other American citizen. : ' Democratic Convention. The "unterrified," assembled in solemn and secret conclave, on Saturday last, in an upper room of the Court House. Although so deci dedly opposed to all secret societies, they set with closed doors, and consequently we are un able to give an accurate account of their oper ations. We are credibly informed, however. that the fun commenced by the introduction of a resolution declaring it impolitic at this time to nominate a Clearfield man for Con gress. This was a masterpiece of political wireworking, and our friend theCapt. deserves great credit for his success in getting it pass ed, without its being understood by one half the Convention, as one of the delegates as sured us was the case. So far all htld procee ded amicably, with great harmony and unani. ty. But at the next step, there was every in dication of a "bust up." The Barrett dele gates, (of whom, by the way, there was a jna jority,) discovered that in the passage of the resolution alluded to, they had been most aw fully bamboozeled; that the Capt. had been trying to administer to them a small dose of "flapdoodle," which Marryatt defines ' to be "the stuffthey feed fools on." But, they had got their eyes open, and it would'nt go down And when the Conferees were elected, they were instructed for Judge Barrett first, in the teeth of the "flapdoodle" resolution, and for David Barclay, Esq., second. About this time it is said, there was every indication that the Convention would break up in a row, but they succeeded in quelling the 'fillibustering' pro pensities of the belligerant delegates, and quieted down, again, to get to work on the connty nominations. David Ross, of Pike township, a very wor thy and deserving man, was nominated for County Commissioner; and George Wal ters, of Bell township for Auditor. The Rep resentative Conferees were instructed to sup. port Alexander Caldwell, Esq., for re-elec tion. W. A. Wallace, Robert Mehaffey, and D. W. Moore, were appointed Congressional Conferees. After the transaction of this bus iness, the Convention adjourned, as far as we are able to learn, withont passing a single res olution cndnri6 Vo -A rlminiotritlnn r fla-r Bigler, or declaring the principles of their party! The only excitement, externally, was pro duced by the offer of a Whig to bet two dol lars to one, or Five hundred dollars to two hundred, that Bigler would be defeated. ' An other offered to bet a valuable horse that Pol lock would be elected by a triumphant ma jority,, but neither Billy, nor anybody else would take the bets. The whole thins; passed off rather harmoniously, and all our drowsy inhabitants were awakened early on . Sunday morning, by the clattering of horses hoofs, as the delegates started for home ! , ; . Th Whigs and the Greytown Affair. We have already given the particulars of t he bombardment and destruction of San Juan, or Greytown, compiled from the Documents of the Administration ; and we have condemned it, in common with other whig,- neutral, and independent papers, as a gross outrage, un worthy the Government of the United States, and entirely uncalled for by the circumstances of the case. It is unnecessary for us : to go over the reasons that induced us to pursue this course, but we ask any candid and un prejudiced reader to examine the facts, and see if he can come to any other conclusion. There are very few democratic papers that have the hardihood to attempt its cpology, but there are always some,edited by employees of the Administration, ready to endorse any act, however infamous, of those to whom they look for their "bread and butter." We care. not what opinions such men may express, cither of us, or of their idol tho Pierce Dy nasty,"but when they attempt tolibelthe Whig Party, and the large number of their fellow citizens who fight beneath its banner, by ac cusing them of "opposition t o their own coun try npon every occasion of a quarrell with a foreign nation," they take one step too far. ; ; However much, as a party, the Whigs have been opposed to; wars .improperly, brought about j when once the country, is embroiled, they are always found beneath the Stars and Stripes. of tho; Republic ! Though we, may denounce the President for usurping the pow ers of. Congress, and believe that a war, for territorial aggrandizement is inimical, fo the policy of ;our Government, we are yet, always found on the field of battle, on the side of our country. If you ask where is the evidence of this love and attachment to . our glorious ban ner, beneath whose ample folds , every one calling himself an American citizen can repose in safety, go read the histosy of your country, and upon the plains of Lexington, the heights of Bunker Hill, the .blood stained banks of Brandywine, the congealing " torrents of the Delaware, and beneath Mount Vernon's sacred shade, you will read the achievements of our glorious Whig ancestors. Go, gaze upon the pages of your country's history for the last forty years, and behold inscribed in letters of living light Whig devotion to Our nation's flag. Go to the hard fonght fields of Mexie6(a war broughtj on without our concurrence orconsent) and there,' kneeling upon the ground consecra- j ted by the blood of slaughtered thousands; ask I who were the heroes of Cerro Gordox Vera Cruz, and Chapultepcc, but Woody traces to the gates of the.

TnERE is a remarkably small degree of fight ing in Europe, and that of a very careful qua! ity. ' Punch says that the allied forces are equipped for every thing except a battle, and that there is no disposition to soil their uni-. fornis, which arc uncommonly brilliant. The fortresses are all either too easy or too strong to take, and the allied fleets are entirely non plused. - The English are sending nine more: rcgi ments to Turkey.- It is true that the force sent out in the spring has not done anything, but the reinforcements are now to help them. An attact on Sebastopol, and even on Anape, is entirely out of the question. Dundas does everything that is easy a"d does not risk any thing that might prove difficult. His first care is to make war withont bloodshed, and to avoid anything serious. The Turks arc to fight their own battles, the allies to remain as look ers-on, just like the crowd in the theater which cheers or criticises the actors on the stage. Austria continues to concentrate her armies in Hungary and Transylvania, and to give re newed assurance to the allies that she is going to ocupy the Principalities, while the English believe her words. . ... . , .

Bigler has no concealments on any subject affecting the public interests." !: The above, jean de esj-rit, from the Bedford Gazette, published by the renowned Gen. George W. Bowman, has been republished in a large number of Democratic papers, and is re markable not less for the utter absence of truth in the assertion, than for its brazen imperti nance. No one, however closely he may have observed Gov. Bigler's course from the time he was first named as a candidate, throughout his Administration, until the present moment, can tell his policy or his opinions. It is noto rious that he is shirting, changeable, and un- tsable,and that it is his great forte in politics to give no opinion, or to give such an one, that cither side may interpret it in its own fnvor. If hi opinions aro known,' if he has no con cealments from the ptibiie, we should like to know his sentiments on the sale of the Public Works ? ; He argued against it in his annual message, and sulwequently signed a bill in fa vor of it ! To the Temperance Convention,' he wrote a letter, declaring it impossible for him to say in advance what would be his course, but now the Rev. John Chambers asserts that he has in his possession, a private letter from' the Gov., in which he pledges himself to ap prove a Prohibitory. Liquor Law, containing the.nght of search clause ! He is opposed to banks, and yet -signs a large. number of re- charters. Professiug to be in favor .of indi vidual liability, he signs, an act, which special ly exempts stockholders in certain mining and manufacturing companies, from all individual iabilities. .: On the Nebraska question, he is claimed by Speaker Cliasc, to .be opposed to the bill, and by .the Administration organs, to be in favor of it. He has said nothing to com mit himself, one' way or the otlier, ihoxigh he rcvented the. adoption of. Nebraska Resolu ions in their State " Convention, and of :anti- Ncbraska ones in the Lcgislaturer Though deploring crime, he' uses the pardoning power with a liberal hand,:and turn's loose upon the community, kidnappers, ; murderers, robbers, bullies, and desperadoes of every description. oucn is vrov. uigier's position, and such is the manner in which he demon sf rates' that he 'has no concealments from the public." r ' We submit whether any great question of'moral reform, could be safely committed to the cus-" tody of such an Executive ? What security have the Temperance' men that he will approve a Prohibitory Law ? nave they Tiot, rather, every reason to believe from his versatile course that it would meet his disapprobation?
