CLEARFIELD, PA., OCT. 22, 1856.
People's National Ticket.
FOR PRESIDltST,
JOIIX C. FREJIONT,
OP CALIFORNIA.
FOR TICK PRESIDENT,
WILLIAM L. DAY TOW,
OP SEW JERSEY.
THE RESULT.
The election held in this State on the 14tb,
It would seem, has resulted in favor of the Lo
cofocos. We cannot siy what the majority
will be until the official returns are received ;
but we do not think that it will exceed 3,000.
When all things are considered, the result
is not surprising, for among the causes which
produced it, the importation of voters stands
prominent. We have good reason lor think
ing that from 15,000 to 30.000 illegal votes
were cast in this State for the Locofoco ticket.
In Philadelphia, the frauds were extensive,
and committed with unparalleled boldness.
Thousands of persons were assessed and per
mitted to vote, who had no more legal right to
do so than a Turk or Spaniard who had ne'er
ncen our country. We heard it said, that large
numbers of laborers on railroads had been ta
ken to Philadelphia, assessed there, and after
having voted in that city, were sent in the
cars to Reading, where they had previously
been assessed, and voted there again. The
t-normous and unusual increase of the vote in
Philadelphia, of itself, shows that fraud was
perpetrated. It must be evident to every one
that against such rascality it is hard to con
tend, and it is apparent that if the illegal
Toteswere taken off, the Union State ticket
would have a handsome majority. It is high
time a corrective is applied to such frauds, and
we feel confident the day is not distant when
the honest people will rise in their might and
crush these workers of political iniquity.
' The Legislature, as near as we can learn,
stands : Senate, 15 Democrats, IS Opposi
tion ; House, 52 Democrats, 48 Opposition-
giving the Democrats a majority of 1 on joint
ballot.
The Democrats have elected 14 members of
Congress, and the Opposition 11.
Ia our own county, our defeat is attributa-
ble in a great measure to the largely increased
ote of the Locofocos. Our candidates re
ceived nearly 200 voles more than were polled
for our candidates last fall, in this county.
The Locofocos increased their vote between
400 and 500 over last fall. There were other
causes, to which wc may refer hereafter.
TJKI03T ELECTORAL TICZET.
: The members of the Republican Slate Com
mittee, those of the North American State
Committee, and a portion of the Fillmore State
Committee, met in Philadelphia on the even
ing of the 17th, anil agreed upon a Union E
lectoral Ticket, upon the following basis : If
successful, the 26 electoral votes to be divided
between Fillmore and Fremont in proportion
as each shall receive votes at the election on
the 4th 2s ovember. If Fillmore receives half
of the Opposition votes, give him half of the
electors, and the rest to Fremont ; if he gets
three-fourths of the votes cast against Buchan
an, give him that proportion of electors, &c.
This is fair and just. The man that votes the
ticket headed with Fillmore's name, votes for
Fillmore, and his ballot will count for his can
didate; and the individual who deposits a
ticket headed with Fremont's name, votes for
Fremont, and his vote will count for that, can
didate. By this ticket, the Suite could be
carried against Buchanan, if all the opponents
of the Cincinnati platform vote it, and no one
would lose his political identity. This ticket
Is what was asked lor by the Americans and
republicans of this county, and every man
who at heart desires the defeat of Buchanan,
will use it. Those whose first choice was Fill
more, and we know that there is a large
number of the opposition in this county
that occupy that position, can vote for their
choice with this ticket, preserve their distinc
tive Americanism, and at the same time aid in
defeating the "old Buck" party ; and the Fre
ucont men can do the same thing, without
loosing sight of their preferences or princi
ples. The ticket will be found elsewhere in
ttis paper.
Fon Salt River. Last week we received a
ticket for atrip up Salt River, but we. have
concluded to lay over a short time, as most
probably wo would have to come down again
on the 4th November. We trust our Demo
cratic friends will not think we are acting un
courteous ; and as we will have no need lor it
after the 4th, we will band over the ticket to
tume one of them. -
Ineffable Mean-mess. We . have been in
formed that somebody took the trouble of wri
ting on the handbills for our meeting on Mon
day, that the meeting was postponed, whilst
others circulated that Mr. Clay would not be
here, the object being to prevent a large at
tendance. But the game wouldn't work ; for,
although many were thus induced to stay at
home, the meeting was one of the largest and
most respectable ever held here. Such das
tardly dmod'h will eventually recoil on its
jtttberc. "

T
FREMONT & DAYTON MEETING. .
The friends of FremoDt and Dayton held a
large and enthusiastic meeting in Clearfield j
Borough, on Monday the 20th inst. Delega- i
tions from different sections of the county
were in attendance. The Woodward delega
tion was accompanied by a Brass Band, com
posed of five brothers named Staat. The dele
gation from Curwensville, Pennville, &c,
headed by a band of splendid martial music,
was th largest that ever entered this town.
Finding that the Court House would be over
crowded, a stand was erected in front of the
residence of Jas. B. Graham, Esq., where the
meeting was organized by the appointment of
Eliis Irwix, President,
Elisha Fenton, John Z. Lindemnth, Eras
mus Morey, Philip Antes, Joseph Peters, lion.
Thomas B. Davis, Martin Nichols, sr., John
Welsh, Jon. Hartshorn, Vice Presidents,
And S.B.Row, Robert Rothrock, Nathaniel
Rishel, Secretaries.
After the meeting had been organized, the
President introduced Hon. Cassius M. Clay,
of Kentucky, who delivered one of the most
powerful speeches we have heard lor a long
time. He said he was a lesident of a slave
state, that his father and relatives were slave
hoi Jers,but be was opposed to slaveryextension.
lie exposed the humbuggery of the Disunion
cry raised by the Locoloco leaders,and of their
claiming to be the supporters of the Constitu
tion instead of sustaining, they were sanc
tioning the violation of constitutional rights,
by their course relative to the outrages in Kan
sas. He explained the gull-trap of represen
tation, set forth southern equality, and showed
that it consisted partly in the aristocracy, or
slaveholders, filling all the offices. He drew a
comparison between schools and cductation
north and south that with uz the children of
the poor had the advantages of common school
education, but in the south they had no such
schools that a strong prejudice existed against
laboring men that slave and free labor were
incompatible and could not flourish together.
The South had land enough without Kansas
her fertile plains and genial climate
Texas had land enough to make several States,
which was yet wild and uninhabited, and over
which the buffalo roamed at will. Whilst the
South, therefore, would not for a long period
of years require any more territory to meet
the wants cf the peculiar institution,' the
North was becoming so densely settled, that
her manufacturers, mechanics and working
men would require new fields of labor in which
to fulfil the destiny of man on earth. He
urged the people to vote for and elect John C.
Fremont that the cry of dissolution was rais
ed by the South merely to intimidate the
North that if Fremont was elected, and any
class attempted to sever the Union, he, like
Gen. Jackson, would vow, "The Union must
and shall be preserved," and the speaker knew
that he would preserve it. He condemned the
repeal of the Missouri compromise, and aptly
illustrated the position of those who favor its
repeal and the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska
act. Very innocent-like they say :
:I hear a noise at the door,
I think it is a lion roar.
Mautcr, shall I let hiui in.
You can turn him out again."
The slavery lion is let in, but they will expe
rience some trouble in turning him out.
Neither time nor room will permit us to fol
low Mr. Clay through the whole of his speech,
lie presented many things in a light that was
new, as well as interesting and instructive,
lie gave some severe thrusts to the Democra
cy, which, as well as overything else lie said,
will asa matter of course be pronounced "Ab
olition lies" by the Locofocos. Mr. Clay is a
man who has the moral courage to throw aside
the fetters of sectional prejudico aud declare
his honest convictions.
After Mr. Clay had finished, tho meeting ad
journed to meet at the Court House in the
evening, when spirited speeches were made
by R. C. Winslow; John M. Chase and C. Jef
fries. Tiie proceedings in the day and evening
were enthusiastic and cheering, and we feel
convinced that a correct feeling is rapidly ta
king hold of the hearts of the people.
The Keetins of the Return Judges Close of
Yesterday's Proceedings Another Exciting
Scene.
After we had gone to press yesterday after
noon, it was discovered that there was a dis
parity between the return made from the Ninth
Ward and the precinct returns handed into the
oflice of the Prothonotary tho morning alter
the election. Tho original return of the offi
cers of the fourth precinct of the Ninth Ward
was brought in, and it was discovered that ac
cording to it Mr. Ramsey hid but 137 votes,
instead of 157 as returned yesterday. This
difference of twenty votes turns the scale and
elects Mr. George R. Smith by a majority of
three rotes. PhiVa Bulletin.
THE WAY IT WAS DONE!
The figures of the election at Philadelphia
exhibit a strange result. At tho Mayors elec
tion held this spring, the total vote amounted
to 55,259. At the election on the 14th, the
voto reached 66,476 being an increase of 11,
217; in less thanfiee months. Such an increase
is unnatural, and must be fraudulent. Besides,
this is a larger vote than New York, the larg
est City in tho United States, has yet polled,
by 6,109. These are facts for the considera
tion of honest men !
Onto Election-. The returns from Ohio
show that the Republicans have carried the
State by over twenty thousand majority. As
far as heard from, the Republicans have elec
ted thirteen members of Congress, and the
Democrats five. The lltb and 17th Districts
are j'et to be heard from, and are probably
Republican.
I.vdiaxa Election. The returns from this
State indicate a majority for the Democratic
candidate for Governor. In 42 counties, Mil
lard Dem., leads Morton, Republican candi
date, for Governor, 2100. Three Republican
members of Congress are elected, and proba
bly six Democrats. ' Two districts are in doubt.

Mexico asd England. Late advices from
Mexico state that its relations with Great Bri
tian are in a very critical position. It is even
rumored that the British Embassy has closed
its doors, and suspended all interchange of
courtesies with the distracted government of
.Mexico. - A correspondent of tho New Tork
Times states that a fleet in tho Gulf of Mexico
awaits the orders of the British Minister, and
that Admiral Bruce, of the Pacific squadron,
is ordered on the west coast of Mexico. The
cause of the rupture is said to bo the delay in
the settlement of the old affair of Barron, For
bers & Co., and the unwillingness or inability
of the Mexicans to pay" their Indebtedness to
British subjects. , Mexico is also in peril of an
attack from a Spanish squadron, and, what
with internal feuds and external assaults, she
bids fair to be pretty thoroughly shaken.

The Trate of Chicago. We noticed some
time since, says the Chicago Press, the fact
that shipment of cotton had been made by way
of experiment, from the South, up the Missis
sippi river, via Illinois Central Railroad to
this city, and thence by Michigan Central
Railroad to Detroit. This shipment of cotton,
200 bales, his been shipped eastward to the
manufacturer, via propeller to Dunkirk, and
thence by the New York and Erie Railroad.
It is expected that this experiment will prove
the forerunner of a large business in that line
by the same route.
Tho Times, of the same city, says : Thus
far, since tho beginning of the year 1850, there
has been exported by lake, from Chicago, 110,
509 barrels of flour, 5,291,410 bushels of wheat
and 9,540,000 bushels of corn. Reducing the
flour to bushels of wheat would make a total
of over fifteen millions bushels of wheat and
corn alone ; to wit, 15,385.940 bushels. Be
sides, there has been exported a corresponding
umonnt of oats, rye and barley, together with
28,000 barrels of pork, 4000 bales of wool and
4000 barrels of tallow. The amount of lum
ber received here since the first of April last,
has been over three hundred and seventy-two
millions of feet, besides ninety-six millions of
shiugU? s nd sixty-nine .millions of laths.

that sectional organization which seeks to forc
slavery upon a free people at the point of the
sword, and degrades American citizens by vi
olating its safeguards at the ballot box. .
The undersigned have appointed a commW
tee to prepare an address to the people, which
will be published in a few days.
We are happy to announce that entire unan
imity existed in the proceedings of the conj
niittees, and no doubt is entertained that the
result from common efforts to secure the adop
tion of the Union Electoral Tickets now pre
sented, will be hailed with satisfaction by ev
ery citizen of Pennsylvania, who is honestly
hostile to the Cincinnati Platform and the -lection
of James Buchanan to the Presidency.
Signed by ali the members of the Republi
can and North American State Committees
and the following members of the Fillmor
Committee :
S.-.muel Siilyman, Schuylkill; William II.
Koontz, Somerset ; George M. Lathey, Clar
ion ; Smith Fuller, Fayette ; Richard Coulter,
Westmoreland.
DErni op the Oceax. On Monday ISthOct,
the United States, steamer Arctic arrived mt
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, from her expedition
across the Atlantic. She soundsd the Atlan
tic all the way across, finding the greatest depth
2070 fathoms, more than two miles. It wat
not accomplished without difficulties, as many
of the instruments used were new inventions;
but the persevering spirit of Captain Berrymaa
and bis otEcers conquered every obstacle. The
bed of the ocean, in the section traversed by
the Arctic, is a plateau, as already announced
by Captain Berryman, who had twice belora
sounded across the Atlantic. The bottom in
the deeper part is a very fine mud, of a mouse
gray color so soft that the sounding instrument
frequently sank several feet into the mud.
They brought tip specimens of the bottom, at
every sounding, in quills which were attached
to the end of the sounding instrument. Tow
ards the shore on each side, this mud changes
into a fine green ooze. No other substances
were met with, no rock, nor anything that
might prove fatal.to a telegraph, wire. There
seems to be now nothing to hinder the great
work, to unite Europe and America by means
of a Telegraph wire, an undertaking so grand
that few thought it possible. The wbole f
tauce across was found to be 1640 sea miles
from St. John, N. F.,U ValentiaHaAor, Ire
land. The greatest depth was fonnd nearly in
the centre between these two places. The pro
file of the Atlantic bed, on this route, is of by
far easier grade tlin many of our railroad pro
files. Tho ofljcers who accompanied Captain
O. II. Berryman were Lieut. J. G. Strain,
Acting Master J. G. Mitchell, Passed Midship
man C. T. Thomas, Engineers II. Newell, L.
Williams Draughtsman A. Von Burck.
Sixcclar Bt rial. Mr.John Wilson, of Mil
lers county. Mo., w ho died on the 20th of Au
gust, in the 88th year ol his age, was buried,
by his own express desire, in the following
manner: Adinner wasprovided for his friends
with plenty of liquor, after which a physician
removed the entrails of the corpse, which was
then filled with salt and placed in a coffin.
The funeral cortege then proceeded to a rocky
bluff, and the coffin was placed in a natural ex
cavation about ten feet deep by thirty inche
in diameter. The ceremony is described as
having been very solemn and imposing. Mr.
W. had been an old hunter and pioneer.
Itollou-ay's Pills may be taken with perfect
safety by both sexes, and all ages, their effect
being mild yet positive ; their searching pro
perties renders thsm invaluable for the exter
mination of every dis-ase, particularly lier
and stomach complaints; bilious disorders,
and indigesjiun.- As a purifier of the system,
they are unequalled, and their virtues in cases
of termination of blood to the head, and asth
matic complaints, cannot be too highly com
mented on, in short, by a perseverance with
these admirable Pills, there are few complaints
which can resist their extraordinary influence.
