HON. DAVID BAECLAY.
The Clearfield Republican, of last week, it
down, "like a thousand of brick," on lion. D.
Barclay, the member of Congress from this
district, for doing an act, than which there is
cot one in his whole official career more in ac
cordance with the wishes of a majority of his
constituents namely, for moving a reconside
ration of a vote which resulted in the House
adopting tbe bill to admit Kansas under the
Topeka or Free Constitution. Tho contortions
of the Republican aro as amusing, as its wait
ings are plaintive and Tengeful in turn, and
the Honorable gentleman had better lock to
his own safety lest, under tbe scathing and
withering flro of our neighbor, he sink into bis
political grave, "without benefit of clergy,"
or privilege of resurrection.
If we recollect aright, this is the sanie "Hon.
D. Barclay," who, tho Republican last winter
slid, was made tho object of tbe most intem
perate and vindictive abuse by both the Know
Nothing and Abolition organs of this district,"
"altogether tcithoul cause," and that it was "un
fair and unmanly" to charge biin with betray
ing the principles of those who it alleged a
bused him at that time. So long as he stuck
to and carried out the views of such Locofo
cos as the editor of the Republican, he was re
garded by the latter as all right a good and
consistent man a paragon of uprightness, and
a perfect political Israelite in whom there was
so gnile. :ven if, perad venture, be betrayed
the Americans and Freesoilers, to whom he
in a great measure owed his election, it made
so difference ho was doing service to tbe
Democratic party, which was ail-sufficient to
excuse him. in the eyes of the immaculate ed
itor, for the commission of a niultltuaa oi m
of a like nature.
-. -, nvnerer, Mr. Barclay mani
fested a disposition to waver in his subservien
cy to the Slavery Extensionists, and in about
five weeks from tbe time when our down-town
"neighbor" took him under his special pro
tection, he placed himself, by interrogating
Mr. Aiken regarding his views on American
ism, which the Republican alleged r.-as the
cause of Banks' election, in an "inexplicable
position," which the editor "deeply regrets."
Bat tbe latter, in the plenitude of his forbear
ance, was willing to wait and hear the explan
ation of Mr. Barclay, who, he said, "until
within a few days of tho end of the struggle,
-was among the most steadfast in resisting the
schemes of tbe Republicans and Know Noth
ings, and then only gave signs of resttveness
by iavoring the plurality role" "And who
would not grow restive in a nine week's con
test of this kind V asked the editor of- the
Republican, who was still willing to apologise
for bim, hoping, no doubt, by the practice of
leniency to bring him back into tbe fold of the
faithful. But, alas! for the uncertainty of hu
man calculation ! those hopes have be.cn frus
trated the Democracy, pnre and undeflled,
have at last been "betrayed" Mr. Barclay has
'committed a grievous sin Use guillotine is e
rccted, and bis head is in imminent danger.
'For ur part, wa believe, so long as Mr. Bar
' clay-vote's in favor of admitting Kansas with a
free constitution, he will be acting'in accord
ance with the views l a large majority of his
constituents, and the dictates of humanity and
justice ; but by doing so, he would undoub
tedly arouse the irate feelings of tho editor of
the Republican, 'who would heap malediction
after malediction upon his devoted head until,
in the agony of his heart, Mr. Barclay will, like
Cardinal Wolsey, be constrained to exclaim : '.
"Had I but served my God, with half tbe zoal ',

Vetoes Vetoed. Legislation, in our Con
gress, seems to have taken a turn somewhat
independent of the Executive, since the Cin
cinnati Convention. The three bills which
the President had vctood, for tbe improvement
f the Mississippi, tho St. Mary's and the St.
Clair rivers, were on the 7th passed by the re
quired two-thirds vote in the Senate, notwith
: standing thero is a large democratic majority
in that body. The presumption is that in the
lower house, .where the administration is in a
minority, they will be carried in the same
way. Truly the respect for tbe Presidential
die tun has much diminished since the incum
bent of the oifice failed to receive the Cincin-
tati nomination. .Party policy would never
' have permitted a candidate for re-election to
receive so decided a rebuke at the hands of
his own party as is to be found in the votes of
the Senate on the. occasion mentioned.

This charge no American, that knows any

ments from the Cabinet, down to a post-masters
clerk, are selected from the masses of the
foreign population, and from the pro-slavery,
incendiary border-rufiian class of inhabitants,
so much so, that the present Administration
has become noted both in Europe and Ameri

Protestant virtue, and the Ministers of the
Gospel of all anti-Roman Catholic denomina

But what else can the upright moral portion

the thousands of oihce-hoiders, miner tr.e con
trol of the President and his cabinet, arc mis
sionaries for the extension of human slavery,
and pioneers under Franklin Pierce, the Iler
ostratus of America, to conduct tbe "peculiar

wrongs, over the territorial empire of the free,
and fruitful region Of the great sor.th-wcst,
until our illustrious Union shall be dissolved,
and like the Ephesian temple, its Only glory be

freemen of America tremble for the safety of
the teniple'of our liberty 'that was ' reared by
tbe exertion, and cemented by the blood of
our fathers, when we see the chief Magistrate
of the nation, removing competent, honest and
good men, and promoting to high official sta
tions in the Government, the intemperate, ba3e
and unprincipled classes of both Europe and
America. The right of a people to elect their
own representatives,bas been taken from them;
the judges of their own choice have been driv
en from the polls, and drunken ruflians appoin
ted in their places; the ballot box corrupted,
and all its most illustrious privileges over
thrown ; and citizens under penalty of death,
to vote for men of their choice, were forced to
tland aside and sec their elections conducted
by foreign mobs of brutal ruflians, electing
from a neighboring state, a band of drunken
slavery propagandists, as the fit representa
lives, to make laws for a free people, that bad
no voice in their election ; and yet these un
natural, unconstitutional, and unchristian acts
were all sanctioned, sustained and carried out
by the President Franklin Pierce, and apnrov
ed of and endorsed by James Buchanan, tbe
present Democratic aspirant to the executive
chair. And to complete bis reign of terror,
fierce lias not only removed good men, from
the smaller offices of tbe Territorial govern
roent, and put bad men in their places, but he
has even took from the Governor's chair, (for
Oaring to do right.) that great man Andrew II

In reference to the Repvbican, man, I would
prefer when he attempts to quote from me,
that ho would do it correctly. In my last com
munication I slated, that "every owner of five
slaves has four votes, and every owner of one
thousand slaves has six hundred and one votes
in representation." But the editor of the Re
publican declares that I said, the slave-holder
had these votes at the election, and then char
ges me with untruth. Kow almost every per
son that has seen his effort, to destroy the
truth, have pronounced it the most silly and
imbecile exertion they have ever witnessed,
even a poor old woman after reading his "at
tempt," declared she was sorry that the Dem
ocrats could not find more able material in
Clearfield to make an editor. I have charity
enough however, to believe, that he did not
misrepresent roe intentionally, as I think he
does not understand the difference between a
vote in representation, and a vote at an elec
tion. And as it regards the truth of all I have
written on the subject, I am fully prepared to
prove it all, by official evidence, and pledge
myself to do so in public discussion, with the
Editor of the Republican or any other man, of
good character, at any time in Clearfield or
elsewhere. . C. J. -

. Baising a Safo from a Sunken Steamboat.
Iu 1852 the steamboat Atlantic was sunk in
Lake Erie, by c6ming in collision with a pro
peller,and on board there was a safe belonging
to tho American Express Company, in which
was secured a considerable sum of money.
This safe has been raised by a diver clothed in
submarine armor, who went down, and was un
der water for 40 minutes. The Detroit llver
lUer gives the following account of the affair :
"The upper deck of the steamer lies one
hundred and sixty feet under water, and far
below where there is any current or motion.
Everything, therefore, is exactly as it first
went down. When the diver alighted upon the
deck he was surprised to s jc a beautiful lady
whose clothing was w ell arranged, and her hair
elegantly dressed. " She was standing erect,
with cno hand grasping the rigging. Around
lay tho bodies of several others, as if sleeping.
In the cabin the furniture was still untouched
by decay, and to all appearanco had just been
arranged by some careful and tasteful hand.
- In the office he found the safe, and was ena
bled to move it, and took it upon the deck,
where the grappling irons were fastened on
and the prize brought safely to light. There
were in the safe $5,000 in gold, $3,500 in bills
of the exploded Government Stock Bank, and
a large amount of bills on other bank3,amoant
ing in all to about $36,000. The papers were
uninjured.except that they smelled very strong
ly of decomposed human bodies. All this
money goes to the persons interested in this
adventure."
The Detroit Free Presi says: "The new
bills, wo are told, are comparatively uninjured
by their long imprisonment and exposure to
dampness, but the old ones are quite injured
and defaced, whether so much as to prevent
their identification and redemption we have
not learned."
On the 1st of June, 1856, the total debt of

Shall a man be a Catholic against hit villi
Political heats are opt to hatch out false
hoods as tropical heats do venomous insects.
But Christian men should be especially care
ful that they do'not countenance or propagate
such filsehoods.
At this time many newspapers recklessly
charge Col. Fremont with, being a Roman
Catholic. Though it has been authoritatively
contradicted, it still continues to be asserted,
and in very positive and impudent forms.
We have takeu pains to inform ourselves in
tins matter and now state! to"" the, 'Christian
public the simple truth, that good men, at
least, may cease to bear false w itness.
Col. Fremont was blessed with a mother of
devoted piety. She was a member of the
Episcopal Church, St .' Philip's, Charleston,
S. C, and reared her son in her own faith.
Indeed until he was fourteen, Col. Fremont
was educated in 'the hope and expectation
that be would become an Episcopal minister.
At sixteen be was confirmed in the Episcopal
church, and has, ever since, w hen w ithin reach
of the church, been an attendant and commu
nicant. And since his temporary sojourn in
Xew York, be has been an attendant at Dr.
Anthon's church, until recently, and now he
worships at Grace Church. Mrs. Frernon
was reared Strictly in the Presbyterian Church
and uuited with the Episcopal Church upon
her marriacre with Col. Fremont. Their chil
dren have been baptized iu the Episcopal
Church. ' It is said that a daughter has been
sent to a Catholic institution for education.
So fur from it, she has never been sent away
from home at all, tut has teen educated by
her own mother.
It is well known that Mrs. Fremont is the
daughter of Col. Benton, and that, at the time,
her father was opposed to her marriage. Col.
Fremont personally solicited several Protes
tant Clergymen to perform the marriage cere
mony, but, on account of Col. Benton's oppo
sitiou to it, they were unwilling to do it. A
female friend, in this exigency, said that she-
could find a clergyman who wonld aid with
out fear, and brought in a Catholic clergyman,
who married them. Like a true lover and
gallant man, Fremont said he did not care
who did it, so that it was done q:ick and
strong. Had we been in Col. Fremont's place
we would have been married if it had required
us to walk through a row of priests and bish
ops as long as from Washington to Rouie,
winding up with the Pope himself.
Is it n5t ludicrous to see a class of citizens
so terribly frightened at the spread of Cutholi
cism, and dreading the evils of Papacy above
all things, seizing a quiet Protestant gentle
man, and insisting upon it that he shall be a
Catholic 7 In vain he struggles and protests!
Catholic he shall be whether he will or not ?
"But, gentlemen I do not believe in the doc
trines ; I was reared by a Protestant mother
in a rroicsiaui cnurcn ; i nave inameu a
Protestant wife ; my children have had Prot
estant baptism ; we and they attend Protes
tant worship, and we are, both by education
and conviction, Protestants. Von iniist'-ex-ense
us, but we cannot be Catholics."- The
eager1 gentlemen will not bo baffiVl. "You
shall be Catholics; you are i Catholics ; we
will have yon Catholics ; all that you s?y may
be true, in some. mysterious manner; you ere
Catholics, and we will have it so!" Poor
Col. Fremont. We do not sec how he w ill
gut over it ! These terrible Frotestants of the
Express are out with sword and pen, determin
ed that he shall be a Catholic '.

' The ' Radical Democracy om Buchanan.
The New York Pott, the organ of the Radical
Democracy, continues to pour "hot shot" into
Buchanan ; and the Democratic party, so far
from being united, by reinstating of the Hards
and the degradation of the Softs appears to
have come out of the Convention ' wore
divided than ever. The Post says : In an
examination of tbe political character of Mr.
Buchanan which we made some months since
and in which we showed the superiority of his
chances for a nomination, we alluded to the
character of his assotiates and confederates.
Xo public man of our day is surrounded by so
profligate a set of followers and admirers. He
isthe centerof acircle of unprincipled and rest
less adventurers, whom men of a higher degree
of self respect avoid. There is something
we suppose it consists in the ease with which
he is managed which attracts to him thatclass
of persons; and he seems to he perfectly con
tent with tho associations thus acquired." If
Mr. Buchanan could see no bann in seizing
upon Cuba for the protection of slavery, ii, is
not likely that he w ill entertain any scruples
concerning the seizure of Kansas by the slave
holders and their myrmidons,forthe same pur
pose. Rely upon it, that the battlo is to go on
as it has begun, unless stopped by the defeat
of tbe Cincinnati candidate; there is to be no
compromise with the residents of the Territory;
no slackening of the persecution by which they
are to be driven out that their places may be
supplied by the slave-drivers and their gangs.
If Mr. Buchanan is elected, the seal of approval
will be set by the people of the United States,
on all the fraud, all the violation, all the usur
pation, all the burnings, all the robberies and
murders, the news of which, for so many
months, has been the melancholy burden of
the mails from the West. Ho will be as easily
persuaded into a co-operation with these atro
cities, as he was into the folly of the Ostend
Manifesto.
Tde celebrated Mount of Olives, near Jeru

The first thing she had done was to plant tho
whole area with a grove of olive trees and thus
to restore it to the original state from which
it derives its name.

There were about 800 present, all arued.

Gov. Shannon's proclamation, and one issued
by Mr. Woodson, Secretary of the Territory,
together mith a note from Cvd. Sumner, say
ing he would prevent the meeting of the Le
gislature. They were, however unheeded. 1
- Both branches of the Legislature met on tbe
4tb. The same day Col. Sumner entered the
town with 200 dragoons, and plnted two can
nons at the head of Kausas avenue. While
the troops were drawn up before Constitution
al Hall, where the Legislature wis assembled.
Col. Sumner told the citizens he would not
disarm them or break up the Convention ; but
be had orders to dissolve the Legislature, and
should do so.
Co. Sumner repaired to tbe nail or Repre
sentatives, and said : "I am called upon to per
fonn the most painful duty of my life, under
the authority of the PresMent of the United
States. I am here to dissolve the Legislature.
In accordance with tny orders, I command ycu
to disperse. God knows I have no party feel
ings in the matter, and I will hnve none, while
I hold my present position in Ksn-sas. I have
just returned from the border, where I have
been sending home the Missoui ians ; and I am
now here with instructions to disperse the Le
gislature. I again command you lodisperse."
Judge Schuyler asked if they were to under
stand that they were to be driven out at the
point of the bayonet.
Col. Sumner replied : "I will use the vrhoie
force under my command to enforce my or
ders." The House then dispersed.
A similar scene was enacted in the Senate
Chamber, ending in the dispersion of that
body.
