XT It frequently happens that when our peo

Stage full, and are compelled to walk or lie
over at Tyrone. These diiiiculties will now be
obviated since James Ckowtoku has opened
his new Livery Stable, where horses and bug

Clearfield County, and ought to do v eil. We
wish him abundant success, and are glad to
hear he is with a good firm. Go and ace him.
E7 In passing through Philipsburg, some
time ago, we had occasion to stop with David
Johx-stos, who keep the Philipsburg Hotel,'
and we must say, we never sat down to a bet
ter table, or met with a more gentlemanly, ac
commodating landlord. We advise all our
friends who arc fond of good accommodations
to stop with 'Squire Johnston. See notice.
C"The general complaint about -hard times'
should induce us to be cautious, and endeavor
to purchase cheap and substantial goods. Those
merchants who have this object in view, when

"ALL HAIL MAltAFFEY V
As we obsorved last wees, our friend Thom
as, at New "Washington, has immortalized him
self by his Know-Nothing exposition. His
fame as an author is spreading far and wide,
and the banks of the Susquehanna bid fair to
become as classic and as celebrated as those of
th immortal "Avon. f Uriels Tom's Cabin"
was not more popular than "Mahaney's Expo
sition," which is really said to compare favor
ably with the famous and tragic story of
'Poor Cock Robin," who suffered such a mel
ancholy death from the heroic 'Sparrow "We
have no doubt it will rank equally high on the
rolls of fame with the -veracious history of
"Jack the Giant Killer," and that Thomas will
have no rival left, having surpassed even the
renowned Eaiou Maunchausen.
We find the following very flattering and com
plimentar y notice of his excellent production,
in h iWfdrhman. published at Lock Haven:
The man who can voluntarily place himself
in the position in which the writer oi mis
statement stands, must either have a very ten
der conscience or no conscience at all. And
he sets up some claim to a conscience ; for he
says he has all his life endeavored to 'keep his
obligations' with his fellow men, and talks
about his duty to his 'conscience and his coun
try.' Will it be believed that in the very next
breath he coufesses that he took 'an obligation
without knowing its extent or its character V
Can any sane or honest man take such an oath 1
Can any man in his senses take an obligation
of anv kind without the terms of it being first
made known to Lira ? No; even the writer of
this renunciation can plead no such gross ig
norance of the nature of an oath. And if he
l'.-lt in the smallest desree the 'proud consci-
ousues of being an honest man,' as he so niod-
estlv tells us he did, he would have died rather
than blaeken his soul with an an obligation he
did not understand. If his statement is true,
the inference is irresistable that lie well under
stood the nature and extent of the obligation
before he assented to it: that he well consider
ed beforehand the .tep he was about to take ;
that he was free to retrace his steps at any
time ; and that he intended to live up to this
obligation, whatever it was, and would have
done so had he possessed a tithe of the moral
honesty claimed in his 'card.' According to
his own showing, therefore, he is a perjured
man. and unworthy of confidence. This
conclusion is forced upon every impartial rea
der of his 'card' before he conies to the grand
flourish with which, in a few lines, he absolves
himself from all moral responsibility to keep
the solemn obligation he confesses be took,
and determines to relieve his 'conscience' by
mtrioticallv warning his countrymen of the
dreadful volcano of Knownothingism over
which they are reposing in fancied security,
and whose hidden fires are to spread teiror
and destruction throughout the land. Let
U3 reioiee that we are spared this calamity.
Mahaifey conies, a second Brutus, to save his
country! All hail, MuhaHey ! Thou hast
dune a deed that will write thy name in im
perishable characters on the pages of thy
country's history ; unborn children will yet
be taught to lisp thy euphonious name.
But we pass on. Having stretched his con
science to the required point necessary to en
able him, 'without reflection,' to take an obli
gation the nature of which he did not under
stand, he sits down very deliberately in this
pandemonium, and tells us that he 'concluded
for awhile to remain with them and learn ichat
he cculd of them !' His 'conscience' did not at
all trouble him; he seems to have fairly got rid
of that troublesome article. With a demure
and hypocritical face he takes his seat in his
'wagon shed' among the brethren, in their 'se
cret coi!:b.vcs,' and composedly hears their
'impious oaths administered.' and takes a part
in their 'midnight origies.' There was nothing
strange in this. He had never read the histo
ry of Benedict Arnold or any &py, and was pro
foundly ignorant of luo detestation in which
they are held by all honorable men. Why
shouldn't be feel 'a degree of rremr.css in go
ing to and returning from' the wagon-shed
It was impossible for him to feel otherwise.
How he must have chuckled in his sleeve at
the prospective consternation and rage of these
secret conspirators against liberty, wnen they
should feel the blows of the terrible rod he
was pickling for them. Morgan wasn't a cir
cumstance to Mahaftey; and all the lesser
exposers of O Id Fellowship, and other secret
societies may now hide their diminished
heals. Mahafl'ey takes them all down.
Having completed his education in Know
nothingism, and 'learned what be could of
them,' he enters the confessional, swelling with
patriotic indignation, and gives the world his
card! And such a card ! Did any body hear
it thunder How many of the grand old hills
of Clearfield yet stand firm Do any of iter
noble pines yet remain unscathed ?
Mr. Mahatfey need not have told us that he
was a whig, and 'always gloried in the success
of whig principles,'. The disappointed politi
cian sticks out all over his 'card,' and we pre
sume the nominations of township oliicers of
which he speaks were not adjusted to suit An
fancy. The Americans of that region can
congratulate themselves on a happy riddauce;
wo have no fears th.it this tissue of stupid
stuff will kill Sam' in that county.
Shall it be Permitted? Last Friday, the
Catholic Priest of this city visited the County
Poor House, in company with anothei gentle
man, and gained permission, under false pre
tences, to have a private interview with some
cf the female inmates. Again on Monday af
ternoon, in the absence of Mr. Taylor, the
Poor Keeper, he visited the same place to see
one of the inmates,- (a young girl) to have a
private talk with her, which Mrs. Taylor refus
ed to comply with. -, Whereupon he strongly
persisted in his game, and in which he highly
insulted Mrs. Taylor, by using disgraceful lan
guage and calling her names and threatening
to kick her out doors. Those who were soon
present became interested, and took part in
the affair, when clubs and knives soon became
useful and lives were in danger. One of the
inmates, a Protestant woman, who took part
with Mrs. Taylor, had her life threatened if
caught. However," the parties soon became
calm, and the Priest took his leave for home,
on the arrival of Mr. Taylor. We would ask
of our authorities how long this monster is to
be allowed thus to carry on his games, and vis
it our public institutions under false pretences
and inflict disgrace and shame on the inmates
and abuse the Managers? This is not the first
time or the only place that this said Catholic
Priest has endeavored to show his authority,
when not by fair means by foul ones. He has
already been held in the law to keep the peace
for a similar offence in Newark.- Patterson In.
Washington Monument. Two bodies of
men claim to be the Board of Managers of the
Washington Monument Association, one con
sisting of those who were elected by a coup de
main on the 22d ult., and the other consisting
of those who were then the acknowledged
Board, and who claim that the period for an
election had not arrived, and that that election
was invalid. We learn that the newly elected
Board have chosen Mr. S. S. Briggs, one of
their number, as Superintendant, but that Mr.
Wm. Dougherty who has for several years oc
cupied that position, refuses to recognize the
authority of the newly elected Board, and re
tains possession of the premises. " t

The whole afl iir passed off in the best of or

present. It is but due to Me. Hartsock to
say, that during the time he has resided among
us he has discharged his duties as a teacher in
the most satisfactory manher, and has succee
ded in placing the school in a higher position,
than its friends anticipated. He deserves
great credit for his efforts. J. P.

G It A N I)"lIU 31 BUG.
The following extract frcm a letter of Mr.
Robert Cahmox, formerly a citizen'of Ebens
burg, we commend to those of our readers in
this vicinity who have the'Kansas fever.' They
had belter try ": ld Clearfield" a little longer.
By this time I fancy some of my readers are
anxious to hear where Council City is located,
and what it is like, and what its prospects are.
Well, the truth is, it is no where on all the
face of the earth. The Circular stated that it
was located at Council Grove. Bat that was
not a fact. Council Grove still belongs to,
and is in possession of the Indians. I was in
formed by those who had a perfect right to
know, that when the Pennsylvania party arri
ved at Kansas City they burst asunder and sep
erated. a part going with Mr. Bi'own to Law
rence City, and a part followed Mr. Stebbens
and Mr. Albright into the wildernessof prairie;
they took the Santa Fe rea l, traveled and ten
ted, till they all became wenry, and arriving
at a small stream called Switzel crcc'c, they
called a halt, and, turning themselves around
once or twice, looked w ise. and exclaimed in
a loud voice, 'we have found it!:' and they
called the new-born city Jlurtka Whether
they used water on it ln-fore they named it, I
did not lcr.rn. It was born on the loth day of
November, A. D. 1S54, 85 miles west of Kan
sis City. The surveyor was ordered to ' lay
cut said city in such proportions as would suit
all those directly interested. He did take a
rope and ran the boundary lines at 2 miles
square, and thinking that sufllcient, closed for
the present. Others stepped off their claims
for f irms and next day all left and took the
hack track, except two men and their families,
formerly of Plum Creek, Indiana county. Pa.,
who are still on tlio gro-.jud. I was told that
they all had the honors, and that some only
got relief in an overflow of water from their
eyes! . .
-Now, I have only to say, that in my hum
ble opinion, this Kansas Territory, this "Land
of Promise," has been entirely overrated, and
must 'nave been wilfully, deliberately, and
grossly misrepresented, to the injury of all,
and to the destruction of many a poor man.
In conclusion, let me say to ail who arc in
search of a home, stopund "take the friendly
warning" before you travelany further in the
wilderness of Kansas Humbug. But if you
must see the elephant, leave your family at
home, and come and see for yourself. I was
in search of him, I have found him, examined
him in part, and think him and expensive
baste, &c, &c. '
I remain vour humble servant,

TnE Scott Letter. William SI Damrell,
member of Congress elect from the Third Dis
trict of Massachusetts, has written a singular
letter to the editor of the Kcene Sentinel, in
which he declares his belief that Gen. Scott's
late letter is a forgery. Mr. Damrell gives, as
the foundation of the statement which he has
made respecting the trade for the Catholic
vote at the Presidential election, that he heard
a speaker in a New York meeting say that
"Bishop Hughes had proposed to sell the Cath
olic vote to the Scott party, or those having
the General in charge; that he was present
when the matter was talked over by his (the
General's) friends, and that he was ready to
furnish proof of the trade by the Pierce party,
if it should ever be desired." "
