THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.
: Tli election in Virginia occurred on Thurs
day last, but up to the present time we arc un
able to determine, from the returns we have
received, which candidate has been elected.
Both parties claim tho victory. The latest
news we have(up to Sunday, the 27th,)are that
rumors are afloat of some astounding majori
tns given to Flccrxot, the American Candi
date, i a Western Virginia, and that it is prob
able he. is elected..- .-. :
. We thiuk Wiss is elected by a small majority,--though
-we maybe mistaken. It seems
too great a revolution, in so short a time, to
think of overcoming an adverse majority of
fifteen thousmd, by which Vizizz carried the
State in 1852. The reduction of this majority
by the American Party, ia the very Gibralter
of Locofocoism, would be a sufficiently glori
ous achievement, even if they are not entirely
successful.
THE NEWS.
The- English pi ess admits that hopes of peace
have fled, and that no assistance can be expec
ted from Austria, and but little from the rest
of Europe; consequently that France and Eng
land must fight it out. Tiia London Tim?s
publishes an article expressing these view s.
The Times has also an editorial on behalf of
the Government, stating that it is impossible
to peruse" the official documents of the Vienna
Conference without seeing that Kussia was
never ia earnest in her pretended desire for
feace. Soma, however, thiuk differently, and
Earl Grey, in the House of Lords, has given
notice of a motion for an address to be
sest- to the Queen, deploring the failure
of negotiations, auJ stating as tho opinion of
Parliament, that the proposals of Russia were
such as to afford a fair prospect of concluding
a pe ice, by which a'.I the original ol j c's of
the war, .might have been gained, and by which
the Alii es might have obtained all the advan
tages which CiiTi lie reasonably demanded from
Russia, Milr-er Gibson made a similar mo
tion la the House of Commons.
. A correspondence from the camp, April 27,
cipliiustLe difficulties xf the siege, but states
confidently that the Allies advance over the
ground bit by bit, and tnat while the works so
k advance, there can be no doubt of ultimate
success, provided the Russians ia the field are
unable to force the Allies to raise the siege.
Gen. Car.rcb.-rt has announced that when re
inforcements arrive, he will enlarge the circle
of his operations, implying that he will attack
the Russian field positions. On the 2th; of
April, Canrobert writes to the Emperor that
the English army has recovered its health and
efficiency, aa-I is on cordial terms with the
French: ...
..The latest official aiviees from Sefcaslopol
are to May Ufa. . Oa that day, in tie morn
ing, the Russians mid a a sortie with a ; large
body of troops on the Allies' right advance j
trench, but were driven back immediately, and
a second. and similar attempt shared the, same
ix'.t. Nothing could be better than the con
duct of the rrcops who, took part in the aflair.
The los of the enemy was serious. :
The following U from the London Standard:
Avery extraordinary circumstance, reported
from a quarter which precludes any doubt as
to the truth of the statement, reaches us by
letters from St. Petersburg. It appears that
a fine Artier.cas frigate built ship recently ar
rived at a port in the Baltic. ' ' -
It was stated that the vessel had on board
COO bales cotton, but the correspondent of our
informant visited the ship and found, in addi
tion to tho above, she had fifty thousand rifles
and five thousand-revolvers. The Russians
laugh r.t our 'cruisers, and naturally ask if
John Bull Lai been asleep to have allowed so
valuable a cargo to have escaped. The Messrsj
C'" merchants 'of Boston, were passengers,
and, it is supposed, acted as supercargoes.
We have not been able to ascertain if the vesi
eel left America this season, and has cut her

oue of tbe'lower ports of the Baltic last . year,

TnC.tCMBEtt JJUSINESS. "-V.
, We had occasion, some time ago, to speak
of rumors on the river,-: and among ;bur citi
zens generally, of tt conspiracy among dealers
to keep down the price of lumber this spring,
and we promised , at the time to investigate
the matter, determined, if any Clearfield men
were engaged in it, to expose them, that their
friends and neighbors might visit upon them
the penalty of so gross an outrage. We have
accordingly taken pains to discover what
grounds existed for the report, and have come
to the conclusion that there was no foundation
for it whatever.
Some months prior to the freshet.it began
to be rumored that an attempt would be ruade"
to put down the price of lumber, and the rea
son given was that some of our dealers at
home were doing nothing, that in the fore
part of the winter they were very uneasy, but
that subsequently they seemed to have come
to an agreement, and were perfectly disinter
ested. 'It Is true, that our men were uneasy
nitil they went to the East and discovered that
they could not m ike a contract for a single
foot of timber, except to be delivered at the
market prices that eastern dealers were sup
plied, and had not ret worked up their last
year's stock, and that the general depression
in all Kinds of business would necessarily re
strict the demand for lumber. With this in
formation thev returned home, determined to
do as little in the business as possible, and
warned our people of the very result that has
taken place. Because their experience in the
business enabled them to come to a correct
conclusion, and keep their fingers out of the
Sre, they are now charged with a "conspira
cy," by those who would not heed their warn
ings.
With their heads full of these . rumors, and
prepared to believe . any report of a similar
character, and to construe any circumstance
into its corroboration, our people went down
the river. . On their arrival at the 'Island' they
found no buyers, and, overlooking the true
reasons why Eastern men were not there, they
immediately raised the old cry of "conspira
cy !'- Here too, a circumstance occurred,
that, by a little twisting, was easily distorted
into a confirmation of their suspicions.1 One
of our townsmen sold a raft for six cents, an 1
it was immediately reported, that it was done
to fix the market price, and that he was "to
have a contingent interest in the profits when
the timber should be again sold in New York."
We have taken some trouble to learn the truth
of this circumstance, and we are convinced
that if the owners of that raft had kept it one
day longer, they could not have got five cents
for it, and had they taken it to Marietta, they
would have been compelled to sell it lor less.
The man who made the raft, and who was in
partnership with the one that sold, was per
fectly satisfied with the price, and felt confi
deut that they could not have made any more
out of it. Vet this is one of the strongest
reasons given upon which to bass the charge
of ''conspiracy !"
At Marietta the same charge was re-echoed
along the beach, and because of it, a number
of men were induced to hold on to their tim
ber when they could have sold it for ten cents,
until they were compelled to sell it for five
and six. Any man who could walk up the
bank of the river at Marietta and behold the
immense quantity of timber lying there at the
mercy of the' wind and waves, and suppose for
a moment, the market could be controlled by
a few individuals, would be wo'se than a fool.
There was a string of raits extending half way
across the river, four mile long, in addition
to all the lumber at Middletown, Columbia,
and other points. How we may well ask,
could any clique of speculators control the
price of such a quantity of lumber, lying at
the mercv of the elements ? Is it not too ab
surd to think of
. The true reason why timber brought a low
price, was because the supply was greater than
the demand. This must be apparent from the
fact that there were about eight hundred, more
rafts passed Karthaus Bridge this ."pring, than
there were last. When we add to this the in
creased quantity on the Sinnamahoning, Pine
Creek, Kettle Creek, and the North Branch
we may very easily understand the cause,- of
the low prices. ' But you say, boards and shin
gies brought a good price, then why not tim
ber 1 Because, in addition to the fact that the
quantity of timber was greater than boards
and shingles, it must always be at the mercy
of the waters, and, owners are compelled to
sell, rather than eat it up in expenses by stay
to take care of it. Boards aud Shingles, on the
other land, can be landed at any point, aud be
distributed throughout the entire country by
means of canals and railroads. This of itself
would be sufficient to account for the ditler
ence in price. But the purposes for which
the largest portion of timber is generally used
are very different from the mere manufacture
of boards and shingles. How m.iy railroad
bridges, aud similar improvements have been
making during the past six months f How

Politics have assumed a neW.and to the old
manageraof ' parties aud elections, a most unr
expectedKphase. Matir .things: have conspired
to produce tb1siiEsrr!t;and merrwilLno-doubt,
give this or that, explanation 61 the movement
we are witnessing, according to the point 'of.
view from which they consider it. Many effects
mav be produced by the movement itself; and
men will appreciate those effects, and endeav
or to promote or prevent them, according to
their views of general politics, of the intcr
ests of society, and of the proper destiny of
our great country. !
The intense and prevading power of the
movement itself tan no longer be a matter of
doubt. And to the cahu observer various ele
ments are manifest which render its future
progress altogether Inevitable. Amongst these
decisive elements may be stated, the augmen
ted force of the movement itself, acquired by
its own previous triumphs; and the .greater ho-mo-geneousness
of the spirit of it, to the por
tions of the coun'ry yet remaining to be s.ub
dued, than to the portions already conquered.
It will enconr-ter no difficulty equal to the iu
tense Democracy of New Hampshire, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, and Michigan; the wide-spread
political immortality of New York; the settled
anti-slavery sentimeut of Massachusetts ; the
hereditary Whigism of Kentucky. Yet all of
these are inastered, by the grinder spirit of
the new movement. What barrier remains to"
arrest its irrcsistable care-erf
. it is infbiately absurd for the -opponents of
this vast movement-of the human mind,-to at
tribute it to unworthy or insignificant causes.
It is utterly ridiculous for its friends to ima
gine that it ean exhaust itself upon objects that
aro feeble and indistinct. It may aim at what
is wrong, or what is unattainable; but it cannot
aoid aiming at what is great and permanent
any more than it could have been produced by
anything that was feeble, indirect, or base.
A "great people does not receive such shocks,
from such ciuses; nor when received, do they
terminate without immense results.
What wc behold is a vast, and, apparently,
spontaneous and nearly universal uprising of
the spirit of American Sat onali vin Beneath
that, we behold the. restoration ot that prime
val nirit of Protestant civilization, in which
the coimtrv itself was originally creuted. At.d
stiM beneath that, we "behold the renewal ot
th.;t profound sense of the overwhelming ne
cessity of our National Union which wau the
grandest outbirth of our National Revolution.
These are the life, avid heart, and soul of this
gigantic movement.' American Nationality;
Protestant Civilizition; National Union. The
country believes all three of these are in dan
ger. Men may sjy the country is deluded.
iiiit that does not alter the cas-j sj lot.g asthe
country thinks ortherwise. : The country is re
solved that all danger to all of them snail be
thoroughly removed. Men may s.iy, the coun
try is iiiibled; but what of that, so long a:i the
country is resolved to be National, Protestant,
and United The country is thoroughly con
vinced, that it cannot trust the perpetuation ol
its National. ty, Protestaut civilization, and its
Uuion as one people, any longer to the keep
ing of its existing parties, in their ordinary uc-ti-.n
; and so the country has, for the tune, at
least, set aside all parties. Men m ly siy this
is mere fanaticism ; bat does the country care
for the sayings ol men whom it rejects as un
worthy of being entrusted w;ti its destiny, in
so greut a crisis Tue country resolves to per
petuate the Union ol these States. They who
are faithful to that Union, had better take up
the .same great parable; they who are not,
ought, in the judgement of the country, to be
in t.scri:ui:utely crushed. The country deter
mines that its Protectant civiliz itioii is its ori
ginal, its most precious, and its must vital in
heritance ; and", believing it to have been be
trayed, it purposes to surround it with adequate
sile-guards. They who participate in these
opinions and purposes, will appiauu m.s pio
foimd purpose: they who couspire to deslroy
thut Protestant civilization, or who abet, or
sell themselves to those who do, must abide
the political overthrow which so justly and
permanently awaits them. The country cher

The revolt of the country was wholly unex
pected by those who supposed they had alrea
dy secured its final subjugation; and like eve-
ry other great retribution, it takes those it fall
on by surprise. It is. not, therefore, to be won
dered at, that they execrate with peculiar hor
ror the special means of success against them,
which their own perfidity and ferocity had ren
dered absolutely indispensable. The country
organizes itseli for the great conflict, which to
those .-who first embarked in it,' seemed well
nigh desjer.ite in silence and without obser
vation. That is the way -in which all 'grand
movements' "btCur; even the Kingdom or Hea
ven does not come with observation. But the
demagogues, the priets, the mobs, the foreign
papists and infidels, are shocked beyond endu
rance because the handful of devoted men
who first combined to save the country, if that
were any longer possible did not admit tho

Were they advertised, when the overthrow of
our Nationality, of our Institutions, and of our

The sofe.'y of the State is the sujreme la o I And,
sureU it is the first necessity of a State that is
endangered, that they who would save it must
consult, tnust combine. If the perdy and fe
rocity of their enemies compel them to ob
serve unusual caution it only proves -great-'
ness of their danger. In point of morality, it
i-tands precisely on the same footing, as veto
by ballot. The object of.:it, determines its
lawfulness: and it is its success, nt its na
ture, which makes it so hateful.
li the Nationality of America is to be sus
tained ; if the Protestant civilization is to be
perpetuated ; il the I federal L nin is to be pre
served: there is but one possible method cf
dealing with the subject. Ti.e organized pow
er of society must be taken out of the hand ot
those who "have betrayed these vast interests,
and must be put into the hands of those who
will cberish them. Public opinion is the only
instrument bv which this great change cm be

jestv to assert, to vindicate, and to d-evelope
still more powerfully that Nationality, without
which, the country itself has no destiny no
mission on the face of the earth. They who
are so lost to every, exalted instinct, as to be
insensible to the grandeur of such hopes as Uwi
has set before us, may also despise all me ci
forts by which those' hopes are to be realized.
Nevertheless, the country will guard and as
sure its Nationality ; in spite of its recreant
children, as well as its open foes. This is one
version of this grand movement ; one point of
view from which its rise, its progress, and its
aims are distinctly manifest. Let the country
execute such a work in such a spirit ; and she
will be launched anew upon her high career.
It may be of less import mce to determine
by what means this great spirit h.-.sbeen arous
ed aud conceutrated. , Yet that is not difficult.
Manifestly whatever those means were, they
must have worked long, ami worked deeply.

and for years together, ami upon the most op-

was constantly threatened? Was if nothing,

ons flowed ceaselessly into the bosom of the
Republic Was it nothing, that millions of
foreign papists ami foreign Infidels, inundating
th- pntititrv like a hood of locusts, were open
ly, organized into political-powers, directed
against the Liberty, the Religion, and the Na
tionality or the people t W is it nothing, that
political parties openly bought and sold the
support of these fearful powers contracting
always for such payments, in return, as were
the most humiliating ana tiie most iaiai i as

this, we only ask, who constitutes the Church
that Mr. Brownson clothes with such power!
If they had happened to be Chinese, or Ma
homidan, the nation would have revolted
much sooner. And yet without reason. For we
snd our fathers have an unsettled account with
0. A. Brownson on the EssUny of tiia IT. 3ta'.5i.
Orestes A. Brownson lectured at New Or
leans a few davs since. The Creole of the 1 Ith
gives the following abstract of the concluding
portion cf this lecture. Speaking of th3 Ro
mish Church, he says:
It must become the arbiter between ths
State and the subiect. It must guard the man
by interposing its flaming sword as a defence.
must instruct cci.stmct.ons.andexroundlaxs,

The lecture of Dr. Brownson is. therefora. a
clear, bold, and pacific annunciation of the
right of the Pope to exercise jxditic tl power
particularly in this country, which is emphati
cally chosen- in thesa latter days to fulfill a
mission .which the -effete nations of Europe
have been unworthy to perform.
