A LITTL2 PLAIN TALK.
For some weeks p-st, politicians uncompro
misingly opposed to Fremont, have Leon en
deavoring to creatj the impression that, if tho
Union State Ticket is carried in Pcnnsylva
ria, the South "ill drop Buchanan, and unite
on Fillmore. The Locofoco leaders, well sat
isfied that the St.ite was lost to then), at once
took up the same cry, evidently thinking that
something was to be made ly encouraging this
Idea. Their design is very apparent. A man
with a grain of political sagacity can sjc that
the object is to stimulate the hopes of the Fill
more men, and by thus inducing them to stick
to their candidate, prevent a union between
them and tho Fremont men. But in it at all
possible, under any circumstances, that Bu
chanan will 'no dropped We think not. The
Locofoco politicians are too shrewd to encour
age such a proposition, if they thought there
was the remotest possibility of it being carried
into effect for, if such a thing should happen,
the great Democratic party would be complete
ly swullovsed up and obliterated. Besides
this, they would not stultify theTiiselves so
much as to thus admit the weakness of their
cause and the speciousness of their preten
sions. The talk about the South uniting on
Fillmore is ail moo.ishine a trick of the pol
iticians as any one, who will take the trouble
of making hiniself acquainted with the feeling
in that section of the Union, will readily dis
cover. In a speech delivered by Gov. II. A.
"Wise, of Virginia, at Richmond, on tho 20th
Sept., that gentleman says oi Mr. Fillmore
that "He is out of sight in this race." We
wish that wc could think diflerently, but the
elections already held show that this is really
the case. Missouri, Kentucky, North Carolina
and Delaware had been counted certain for
him no doubt was entertained about them.
And how are they 1 Why every Southern
State, including the States named, in which
elections have been held, tho Democrats have
either carried or have gained largely in. How
idle then is it to talk about the South dropping
Buchanan ! The hopes of the Democracy are
centred in the Southern portion of the Union.
But, as already stated, they expect, by en
couraging one portion of the Opposition, to
succeed in keeping up a separate and distinct
third party organization ; and with the oppo
sition thus divided, they may reasonably con
clude that they will be enabled, like the fox in
tho fable, to slip in and carry off the prize,
whilst those who should be friends are quar
relling about matters of little moment. They
could thus, if they cannot do. anything else, at
least, prerent an election by the people, and
throw it into the House of Keprcsentatives,
where an endless contest would ensne. In the
meantime the Senate would elect Jo'n C.
Bieckenridge presiding officer of that body, and
when the 4th of March would arrive, and no
election had lieen effected by tho House, he
would under the Constitution, by virtue of his
position as president of the Senate, be sworn
in as President of the United Slates ! That is
the plain truth. Americana and Republicans!
Having thus presented matters in their true
light, we ask whether you will allow your
selves to bu duped by the schemes of the po
litical tricksters who are wording for Btichan
an ? We trust not wc have an abiding confi
dence that you will not. We caution yon a
gainst the coys that are thrown out to deceive
you ; and admonish you to unite cither upon
one electoral ticket, or upon the only man
whom the Democracy fear and fight John C.
Fremont. Do that, and yon will come out of
the ' Presidential contest with Victor in
scribed upon your banners.
Axcmseb of spirited meetings of the friends
of Freedom wete held last week ia this coun
ty. A large meeting was held on Tuesday at
Salem City, in Brady township, and two Cue
poles raised, and a large fl ig, inscribed with
the names of Fremont and Dayton, suspended.
On Wednesday afternoon and evening meet
ings were held at New Washington, on Thurs
day evening at Pennville, and on S.iturday
evening at Dr. Schryver's, all ofwhich were
largely attended. On Monday of this week,
a very enthusiastic meeting was held at French
ville, in Covington township. There were
donbtless other meetings held, of which we
are not cognizant. The fires of Freedom are
beginning to burn brightly amidst the pine
Clad hills of Clearfield.
Pctsam's Montuly, Household Words, and

'Tn devil was sick, the devil a monk would be ;
The devil was well, the devil monk was he '
When we read the last Clearfield Republican,
we at first scarcely knew whether to pity or
laugh at it. But the idea of the editor of that
paper raising objections to a naturalized citi
zen, as such, and giving currency to a charge
of CatholioVsm against another, was so su
premely preposterous that we could not re
frain from indulging in a hearty outburst of
merriment. But, without joking, the course
of the Republican is certainly one of the most
anomalous of any journal that has ever come
under our notice. There is no telling where
it is in some things whether it is fish or fowl
Roundhead or Cavalier Roman Catholic or
'bloody K. N." In this community it is well
known with what bitter vehemence and malig
nity the uditor of that paper denounced the
American order, and that no epithets were too
harsh or severe for him to apply to them.
But scarcely has the cry of "dark-lantern par
ty," . midnight cabal," "pcrverters of the
Constitution," "traitors to tho country," to
God, and everything that is great and good,
ceased to be shouted forth by him or his par
ty, than, surprising as it may seem, they raise
the cry that one of our candidates is a Catho
lic a charge that they know is false and with
out foundation in truth. How does this come J
Why is it that tho Republican gives curiency
to a falsehood, impugning a man's Protectant
integrity, when it but lately was so loud and
fierce in its denunciations against others for
opposing a foreign catholic hierarchy interfe
ring in our political affairs; Is it possible
that tho editor of tho Republican has become
impressed with tho importance of checking
this influence ? Or is ho only '-shedding cro
codile's tears," only pretending to bo interest
ed in the "four or five hundred sworn know
nothings," for the purpose of advancing the
cause of James Buchanan ? Out upon such
hypocrisy ! Such duplicity is too palpable,
too bold, to deceive even the most unwary !
What consistent fellows these Locofoco politi
cians are ! At one time, it is said, they object
to a respectable citizen, who was a candidate
lor a county onice, on tne ground tii:it tie was
a catholic! Then they villify and abuse the
American order for attempting to check for
eign catholic influence from controlling our
elections. And now they give currency to a
false charge of Romanism against as good a
Protestant as the sun of heaven ever shone
upon, in order to injure him in the estimation
of the same Americans, whom they so lately
denounced ! And, that it might be prominent,
pains wero taken to put it forth in glaring cap
itals, besides receiving the editor's endorse
ment in these words: "What a spectacle !
A candidate for President of the United States
denying his religion!"
Knowing these things, it must be apparent
to every reasonable man that there was no sin
cerity in the opposition of the Locofoco lead
ers and presses to the American party that
they were selfish in their designs and actions
and that they will seize upon anything that will
in the least tend to benefit their cause ! : Well
might honest, christian men exclaim, "What
a spectacle !"
THE NEW INQUISITION.
The last Clearfieid Republican contains a let
ter of J. A. McMasters, editor of the Free
man's Journal, the mouth-piece of Bishop
Hughes, and an organ of the Roman Catholic
church, in which the following occurs :
"A man who will lie about a serious fact in
his own history, ought to be denounced, if he
pretends to run for Presidentcven of so mean
a coalition as Black Republicans and Choctaw
K. N's. If Col. Fremont will assert that he
has never given himself out a Catholic, I WILL
CLAP THE HUT IRON ON QUICK AND
SURE."
We have little doubt that the Archbishop,
McMasters, and even their worthy compeer,
the editor of the Republican, would dearly
love to establish the Inquisition with all its
diabolical tortures, in this country, and then
'clap the hot iron'" on the back of Col. Fre
mont and every other "heretic." How the
mouths of these "hale fellows well met" must
water at the prospect of such a luxury, and
doubtless their '-hearts leap with joy" at tho
anticipated agony and cries of their victims.
Things have come to a pretty pass, indeed,
when an insolent Jesuit can thus denounce an
American Protestant citizen, aad threaten to
"ca the hot iron on, quick and sure !" But
Buchanan is not yet elected President, and
Hughes, McMasters,and our down-town 'neigh
bor' will have to postpone their branding oper
ations for a while. All the opponents ol Fre
mont clutch with rapacity at the Inquisitor's
threat to "clap the hot iron on, quick and sure!"
But, is this the evidence you bring that Fre
mont is a Romanist ? Is this the argument
you intend using 1 Atnericans, friends of
freedom, of whatever name, party or sect, will
you lend your votes and influence, directly or
indirectly, to give this Jesuit and his abettors
a victory? Can any one doubt, after this as
sault of McMasters & Co. upon Col. Fremont,
that he is a protestant ? Would the organ of
the Roman Catholic church in New York.dare
to assault him thus, if he were in the remotest
degree connected with its church 1 No one
can with truth assert it.
The "hot iron," the pincers, the rack, and
the thumb screw, to be followed by an auto da
fe wouldn't that be a pretty "spectacle" in
this civilized land of ours ? Protestants, A
mericans, Freemen ! are you prepared to give
Buchanan, McMasters 8c Co. such a triumph 1
"We shall see what we shall see !"
Mr. Benjamin Watts, of Fayette, Mo. on
the 13th Sept. took a walk into his park,
where he had some deer and an elk. He was
found dead and most dreadfully mangled about
one hour afterwards. It is supposed the elk
became enraged and made an attack on him ;
that he retreated to thtr-fence, but was unfor
tunate in escaping, and was horned to death
on the spot. Hs was the wealthiest man in
t-b oocat?.

From the JVeur Yorl Tribune.
AN OP Elf LSTTESt.
To the Hon. Wilmax Branca, U. S. Senile :
Si a : For some time past, an anonymous and
utterly unindorsed string of calumnies and
misrepresentations, entitled ''Infidelity and
ti Abolitionism j An Open Letter to the Friends
of Religion, Morality, and the American U-
nion," has been gratuitously flooded over
the country. I have been repeatedly asked to
put my foot on it, but declined to do so, as I
do not deem anonymous slanders worthy of so
much consideration. But a respected clergy- !
man of your State sends me one of throe co
pies of this delectable concern which he has
just received under your frank, indicating that
you oro engaged in a general distribution of
this tissue of lies throughout your state, or at
least among her clergymen. I pay, therefore,
to you, the responsible indorser, a respect ol
which tho uaked and skulking libel was and is
utterly unworthy, and proceed to expose somu
of tho more flagrant of its falsehoods :
1 "We assert, and defy contradiction, that
cvry organization boasting infidel doctrines is
now an organization in favor of Fremont; and
we assert also that all tnose desiring a dissolu
tion of the Union are openly co-operating with
these organizations."
This is grossly false, Mr. Eigler! and you
know it. It is faise, that even tho handful ol
Northern Disunioiiists support Fremont, as I
shall soon show; but all these are insignifi
cant in numbers and power when compared
with the Southern Nullifiers and Secessionists,
every one hostile to Fremont, and nearly all
supporting Buchanan. In South Carolina,
those who desire and expect a speedy dissolu
tion of the Union are a very large if not the
larger party ; they hoid high stations and edit
influential journals ; one member of the Cabi
net (Jefl. Davis) ran for Governor ou the tick
et of the "State Rights" anti-Compromises-of-1850
party ; and throughout theSouth there
is a powerful interest in favor of dissolving the
Union whenever they can no longer rule it
You know how Bully Brooks boasted in the
House that he could have caused a civil war
by merely raising his hand ; you have read his
grave proposition that the South should march
upon Washington and seize the Federal treas
ury and archives, in case Fremont should be
elected, before he can be inaugurated; and
you know that Keitt, Wise, and other eminent
Southern supporters of Buchanan, are habitu
ally indulging in similar bluster. You arc
slandering a very large portion of your fellow
citizens, Mr. Eigler, and utterly falsifying the
record, in asserting that all the disunioiiists
or any considesable portiou of them are
found in the Fremont runks.
2. Following in the same track, your libel
proceeds to copy from The Xew York Standard
of April 19th last, representing it as "a Fre
mont Abolition organ," and speaking of it a
gain a? "this advocate of Fremont, The Stand
ard." That, Sir, is a deliberate lie. No one
caa have copied from The Standard without
knowing that it is of the Garrisonian non-vot
ing school of Abolitionists, bitterly hostile to
Col. Fremont and to the Republican party.
It is as utterly averse to Fremont's electioa as
you are, or as your Secessionist at the South
can well be.
3. Your pamphlet proceeds to quote from
" 1'hc Boston Liberator, Garrison's paper a
" paper that supports John C. Fremont."
This, Sir, is another black, blistering false
hood. The Liberator supports no candidate for
Federal office, being hostile to voting, to the
Union, and the Constitution, but especially
hostile to Fremont and the Republican party.
Columns to this effect might be quoted from it,
but tho fact is notorious among intelligent
men. The Liberator will not even supportGcr
ritt Smith, and it never supported any Repub
lican or Anti-Nebraska ticket. Yet the lie is
repeated, and reiterated, as if its author found
a real pleasure in the simple act of lying.
4. Passing by several insignificant or irrele
vant lies among others that involved in cal
ling Wendell Phillips a "Boston Infidel," when
he h an orthodox Christian, and then insinua
ting that he is a supporter of Fremont, when
he is his inflexible opponent I proceed to the
following :
"The New York Tribcxe is the chief par
ty organ of these infidel disuniotiists. That
journal has been the reservoir, for years, of all
the levelling, anti-religious, and revolutiona
ry doctrines of European ultraists and destruc
tives. It is controlled by a corp9, among
whom are notorious infidels. It has opi-ned
its columns to the revolting doctrines of "Free
Love" to Fourierism, and to the scarcely less
dangerous dogma of '-SpiritualiMM." All the
wild, monstrous, anil absurd theories of the
day, including the political equality of blacks
and whites, have found favor in its sight. It
fs this dangerous paper, whose editor, Horace
Greely, has assisted at public meetings of
blacks and whites in the City of New York,
where both God and the Constitution have
been reviled ; it is he who has co-operated with
the advocates of Woman's Rights in the same
city, where unsexed females have delighted in
addressing mobs of men in strains of vulgar
violence."
These, Sir, are lies gross, willful, palpa
ble, malignant lies and yon are their respon
sible propagator. Tub Tribute is the organ
of no "infidel disunioiiists." It has never been
the ''reservoir" of "anti-religious" doctrines,
as its readers well know. It has never been
controlled by "notorious infidels." It never
"opened its columns to the revolting doctrines
of 'Free Love,' " except to expose, denounce,
and reprobate them. All the "wild, mons
trous an I absurd theories" which it has ever
countenanced are based directly on that im
mortal assertion of Jefferson in the preamble
to the Declaration of Independence that "All
" men are created equal, and endowed by their
" Creator with certain inalienable rights that
" among theso are lite, liberty, and the pur
" suit of happiness." Its editor has "assist
ed at no public meetings of Blacks and Whites
where both God and the Constitution have
been reviled," nor anything like this; and
your closing assertion about "unsexed fe
males" addressing mobs of men "in strains of
vulgar violence" is only more sweepingly ca
lnmnious, more basely false, than the rest.
Fo such meetings ever occurred j and certain
i ...
ly no Editor of Tas Tribujii: ever "co-operated"
with any such. -
That you or your scribe who is said to be
your Senatorial Chaplain, but I hope is not,
should proceed to assert that
"Greeley's Fourierism, Free-Loveism, Spi
ritualism, are parts ot that platform of which
sectionalism is the soul," .,
is but natural and consequent. ' What would
be the profit of lying if you were not to bring
your lies to market ? You know very little,
yet you can hardly be so dull as not to know
that this talk of "Greeley's Free-Loveism,
Spiritualism," &c, is the basest kind of lying
an appeal from the reason and conscience of
the community to the prejudices of tho ignor
ant and the credulity of the unwary.
Mr. Senator Bigler ! you occupy a very ex
alted station, while 1 am a private citizen, and
both of us occasionally address our fellow-citizens
on the politics of the day with reference
to the Presidential election. When I do so, I
generally read the platforms of tho three par
ties with relation to Slavery, and set forth their
points of accordance and of difference. I then
compare the doctrines of each party, as thus
defined and proclaimed by itself, with those
ol Washington, Jellerson, and our Revolution
ary patriots, and with the action of Congress
throughout the purer days of the Republic.
I ask those who hear me to vote for Fremont
and against Buchanan because of tho position
taken by them respectively on the great issue
of the day, as Mr. Buchanan truly pronounced
it in his interview with Senator Albert G.
Brown. I appeal to all who Lave beard me to
say whether I have or have not at anytime
personally assailed Mr. Buchanan or any of his
supporters whether I have or have not sought
to divert attention from the great issue made
up by the rival National Conventions to irrel
evant and trivial matters, or to the opinions of
your candidate or his friends on any question
not involved in the canvass. You, Sir.! have
chosen a different course; we shall see how
the People regard it. Up to this hour, I can
not hear that any member of your party has
ever printed the Three Platforms and the Let
ters of Acceptance of the rival candidates for
President fur circulation among the voters of
all parlies ; I have printed many thousands of
these, and ihall be happy to supply you with
them at cost. But you do not want them
you would carefully refrain from distributing
if you had them ; and your fellow-partisans
have frequently denied the fact tht the Cin
cinnati Convention unanimously indorsed the
administration of Franklin Pierce, and at Crot
voted down a resolve favoring the PacificRail
road the Pcnnsylvanians going solid against
it, and afterwards voting for an ambiguous,
non-committal expression of opinion ia its fa
vor. This day, there are baud-bills circulated
in your State calling on the people to rally for
"Buchanan, Breckinridge and Free Kansas,"
just as they were called in !44 to struggla for
"Polk, Dallas and the TariJ of '42." I ob
serve one of the speakers who in '41 maintain
ed in a public debate that Polk was a better
Protectionist than Clay, now on the stump de
monstrating thatBuchanan's election will more
subserve the cause of Freedom in the Territo
ries that would that of Fremont. Perhaps,ilr.
Bigler! such tricks will win, as they have won
ere now and perhaps they will not. I bid
you welcome to all that you can make by such
a canvass, and remain Yours, indignantly,
HORACE GREELEY.
THE PAPIST EI0T3 IN BALTIM0EE.
The Baltimore Clipper states that the vici
nity of its oflice, during Wednesday evening,
was the scene of outrages that could only be
paralleled by the class of lawless aud ignorant
offscourings committing them. It was the
price of an American's life to open his mouth,
and, indeed, many who passed quietly were
fired upon. A small boy, who was walking
along, hurrahed for Svvann. One of their des
picaMe clan, and i rhably one of the Mont
gomery Guards, an Irish company, lor he
had a military belt around him, raised his mus
ket and fired at the child, the ball passing
through his jacket. A young man r.anM.d
Jas. Corner, received a slug iu his right shoul
der. Two gentlemen passing along with Major
McAllister, wero shot one through the heel
and the other through one of his legs. They
evidently intended to kill the Major for his
audacity in daring to entertain feelings favor
able to the American party. It has truly ar
rived at a pretty state of affairs, when Ameri
can people are not allowed to vote and express
themselves as they please .in this their own
country. This w'.iolo riot was the effect of
preconcert. The plan of the Democrats was
boldly laid. They knew they had the willing
instruments to carry it out. 'I hey projected
a gigantic scheme of fraud and violence, and
they counted fully upon success. They sup
plied their satellites with arms and ammuni
tion ; they considered their muskets would
give them the advantage, and had even pro
cured cannon to secure their positions when
g lined, for that must have been their object.
Their plan now stands fully developed it was
to take forcible possession of tho Third, Sev
enth, Eighth, Twelfth aud Eighteenth Ward
polls, to rush iu enough fraudulent votes to
secure eight hundred or a thousand majority
in those wards, and then they might snap
their fingers at tho rest of the city, as their
victory would have been sure. BjI in carry
ing out their bloody plan they encountered
some particularly rough snags in the energy
and determination ot the Americans. They
have received a lesson which should teach
them to refrain from such diabolical plots in
future. It is true that they succeeded in pol
ling a large, a very large fraudulent foreign
vote. The returns will show this, but they
have been beaten, and they may rest assured
that whatever game they may try they will be
beaten. The city will never again submit to
be ruled by a rabble of foreigners, whose num
bers havo made their insolence unbearable.

delphia papers that a largo number of names,
amounting to seme 12,000 or 15,000, have been
entered r.pon the assessors list, which are tho't
to be imported voters. It has been apparent
lor some time past that the Locoloco politi
cians were concocting some scheme by which
to defeat the Union State Ticket, and there Is
no telling how much they had to do with theso
ex'.ra assessments ! We fear this system has
been carried on-extensively ia different sec
tions of the St.ite, and wc can, therefore, look
out for some strange lesults !
