CLEARFIELD, PA , DEC. 3, 1558.
EThere are some facts connected with the
late Presidential contest, and the attitude of
the forces opposed to Locofocoism, in Penn
sylvania, winch it may not be inappropriate to
allude to n(tw,whcn all can consider them with
a fair degree of placitude. In the latter part
of the campaign, as will be remembered, the
Impression was attempted to be created that
Mr. Fillmore was the only available candidate
against Buchanan that the former would car
ry a majority of the Southern States that X.
Jersey, New York, and other northern States
were certain for hicu and that Fremont did
not stand the ghost of a chance. Whether
these declarations were the offspring of honest
opinions, or whether the persons who made
them were actaated by individual interest or
sinister motives, are problems which we do
not now propose to solve; all we have to sav j
1 v ' -
on that point is. that it was regarded as strange j
1 - b c
inai Lioceiocos 3iiou;a use luC same anruiuems
The result of the election shows how egregi
ously the individuals who made such repre.-t-a-tations
were mistaken, to siy nothing harsh-,
notwithstanding some were induced by them
to vote differently from what they would have
roted, bad they not believed Mr. Fillmore to
be the stronger opposition candidate. For our
own part, we felt satisfied, from the turn affairs
had taken, that he could not secure the elec
toral votes of more than two or three States at
the outside. In arriving at such a conclusion,
we did not assume that we possessed any un
usual political foresight we only argued from
cause to effect. The Democracy had forced
the slavery question upon us in a way that it
had to be met there was no avoiding it. The
Philadelphia American platform did not ex
press the views of a large majority of the par
ty at the North on this particular subject
bence hundreds and thousands tought a stand
ard which represented those views, and a par
ty, whose members entertained similar views
in regard to the evil tendencies of Roman Ca
tholic and Foreign influences being exercised
in our governmental affairs. The strength of
the anti-slavery extension element had been
largely miscalculated by those who thought
that Col. Fremont stood "no chance." They
doubtless can scarcely realise that he has car
ried more than one-third of all the States
that in Pennsylvania his vote exceeds that of
Fillmore 65,000, and that in our own county
lie has received more than half the epposition
Tote polled ; and yet such is the case. From
these facts, we wish to argue that politicians
are not always to be relied on in their calcu
lationsthat tricksters cannot always have
matters their own and that the People can
not be driven hither and thither at will. The
' result in this State teaches that union and har
mony are essential to success, and that parties
should never permit trivial point3 of difference
to divide their forces. A small diversion in
our ranks elected James Buchanan. Now,
under the circumstances, what is the plain and
obvious duty of every sincere and honest op
ponent of the Locofoco party ? Is it to keep
up a division ? Or is it to adjust differences,
as wisdom dictates 1 Every one can readily
answer these questions for himself. The A
mericans and Republicans, if we understand
their positions correctly, are respectively op
posed to Political Romanism and slavery ex
tension. Whatever trivial barriers separate
them should therefore be at once removed, all
the forces formed into one organization, and
then made to move, in the Gen. Jackson style,
like "a unit." Steps with this object in view,
have already been taken in some sections of
the State; anl prominent Americans in Phil
adelpbia arc now urging it. The truth is that
this feeling is manifesting itself everywhere,
and, not to be chary about words, nearly all
the objections we hear made to an adjustment,
come from a set of fellows who, if they are not
acting the part of knaves, are acting the part
of fools. We trust, however, that no one will
permit evil counsels to bias his opinions ; but
that all will give the matter their serious con
sideration. We may have more to say oh this
subject hereafter.
Kansas ArrAiRS. The land sales at Leaven
worth on tho 19th passed off quietly; 2000
purchasers were present, and the bidding was
spirited. The Leavenworth Herald publishes
a correspondence between Gov. Geary and
Marshal Donaldson, in which the latter refuses
in execute the warrant for the re-arrest of
Hayes, the murderer of Buffum, who had been
liberated on bail, and expresses his determina
tion to tesign, which he has since done and left
Lecompton. Gov. Geary, after the refusal of
- Donaldson to re-arrest Hayes, immediately
dispatched Col. Titus, with six armed men
who captured the murderer and brought him
to Lecompton. The prisoner's counsel there
spon applied to Judge Lecompte, for a writ of
habeas corpus, but Gojr. Geary has suspended
the Judge, it is said, and the trials were to pro
ceed before Judge Cato. The report that the
Governor has suspended Judga Lecompte, ap
pears almost incredible, as we do not think
he possesses the authority to do so. There
seems, however, to be some strong grounds
for believing he has done so, for later advices
state that Lecompte has issued a process a-
fsinst Got. Geary for contempt of Court.
CHAKGE OF TUTTE.
It is amusing to witness the many singular
erolutions performed in the Locofoco camp
by those who are attempting to gain a control
ing influence with the incoming National Ad
ministration. The South, ever since it was
known that Mr. Buchanan is elected, has been
raanceuvering to gain such an influence. Im
perioas dictation was at first resorted to, and
the most ultra demands were made. Suddenly,
however, we find the Richmond Enquirer,
which had opened the fire, change its position
and commence rtbuking the Charleston Mercu
ry and New Orleans Delta, for the threaten
ing attitude which they had assumed. It says
they "are in no sense party papers," and that
"it will be time enough to suspect Mr. Buchan
an and to oppose his Administration, when he
discovers, by some unequivocal act of bad
faith, that he docs not deserve the confidence
and support of the South." The Enquirer
seems also4o have arrived at a full realization
of the difficulties which snrround Mr. Buchan
an, and advises the practice of caution and
prudence in the most tender manner. It even
talks of preserving the Union as a desirable
object that the North should be conciliated,
."so that when the final conflict comes, if come
it must, the South may not find herself utterly
friendless and alone ;' and, strange as it may
seem, after having talked of disinheriting all
the Xf w Tork politicians, it has very recently
discovered in Hon. Wra. L. Marcy one of the
-foremost statesmen of the age," and indul
ges in a strain of the most unbounded lauda
tion of Lira. This complete change in the
tone of the Enquirer, may appear unaccount
able, at first sight; but when it is known that
immediate! v prior to it, Gov. Wise, of Virjri-
. . i - 'ir.T i a ,v.
nia, had paid a visit to Wheatland, and that,
- . - , . . , , .
as it is said, he went away out of humor, it is
fair to infer that the President elect would not
commit himself, (a habit into which Jeems fell
early in life.) and, therefore, the "chivalry"
deemed it prudent to drnptiwu- .--.
bullying, and try flattery and cajolery to bring
him into complete subjection. It i really
wonderful what effect the dispensing of pat
ronage has upon the nerves of politicians, and
what deferential apologists and defenders ini-
erious dicti.tors may become when they find
t necessary to wheedle a President into their
meshes. Tbe whole aCair is laughable, and
his sudden change cf position of th i South
ern fire-eaters reminds us of a certain

Marched up the hill, and then marched down
Sharp Bcsixess Opebatios. The New York
Evening Post gives the particulars of a keen
business transaction in that city, which seems
to be mixed in equal parts with love and mon
ey. A school girl, and only child, received
the addresses of a young man, which coming
to the ear of her father, he had an interview
with the lover, and, by dint of persuasion and
a thousand dollars, got his promise to cease
his visits. For a while the separation seemed
to be permanent, but after a few weeks appa
rent forgetfulness of her sweetheart, the girl
informed her friends that three days previous
thereto she was married to the bought-off lov
er, but returning directly from the house of
the officiating clergyman, she had not seen her
husband since the ceremony. The father,
distressed beyond measure, again sought the
young husband, and, after much persuasion,
got from him a promise to sign a written agree
ment releasing his marital rights, and relin
quishing all control over his wife. The father
willingly handed over four thousand dollars,
and the papers were to be signed at ten o clock
the next day. At nine o'clock, the sharp op
erator, with the five thousand in his pocket,
called and demanded his wife, and she depart
ed with her husband, leaving her father minus
five thousand and a daughter.
The Becissiso of the Exd. The New Or
leans Delta, of the 18th Nov., says : "It is
now evident that the election of Mr. Buchanan
is a moral defeat. It Is equally evident that
the war between the North and South did not
end on the 4th of November, 1S3C. It rather
had a new beginning then, and will certainly
not end before 1800. We are perfectly satis
fied that the triumph, as it is termed, of the
Democratic party, is the mere success of for
ces, and not the definite vindication of prin
ciple a simple respite for the present, with
out anv security for the future." The Delta
also says, "without a reversal of the past his
tory of our politics, the Republican party will
as surely come into power as time shall flow
on." The Delta is a Democratic paper. The
Cnterrifled, it would seem, don't like tho way
the current is running.
"Bleedixo Kaxsas" is winning advocates
where they were least exacted. Even the
Washington Union pleads for the destitute and
suffering there like a genuine "Black Repub
lican." On account of the "frightful attroci
ties and disorders which have filled the land,"
the settlers could neither plant nor harvest,
and the winter has, therefore, surprised them
unprepared for its terrors. "Unless early and
efficient measures are adopted," continues the
Union, "t3 guard against famine in Kansas, no
one can foresee the fatal consequences to
which it may lead first, in the despairing ef
forts to sustain and prolong life, and then in
the work of death itself. Without relief, the
imaginary .scenes of the past may become tra
gic history."

The Presidential election returns, so far as
they have came in, show a large plurality for

Gen. Goicouria, is a Cuban of great wealth
and intelligence, and was the head of the "Cu-
ban junta," so called, ia New 1 or, His pet
scheme is to rescue Cuba from Spain ; andbe-
lieviTisr that Nicaragua would form a splendid
basis for hostile operations against that island,
he rut himself in communication with Wvlker,
for the purpose of enlisting his co-operation
He frankly avows that last Winter lie sent an
-ent to Nicaragua, through whom Gen.Wa'.k-
er made an express agreement that be would
assist and co-operate with his person and his
various resources, ssch as men and others, in
the cause cf Cuba, after having consolidated
the peace and Government of ic-aragua.-
I'nder this agreement Gen. troicouna wem
to Nicaragua and entered into Walker's ser
vice. That he was honored and trusted by
Walker to the fullest extent, is clear from the
tne of the letters which passed between them.
He received from bini an appointment as Min
ister to England, the main purpose of the
mission being to open negotiations with Erg
land and secure for Nicaragua the port of San
Juan, which would give them a naral force in
the CcrilLisn Sea, precisely the thing most
needed for a successful invasion of Cuba.
But Walker, while Goicouria w.is In New York
wiuguna, sent nmi a teiter. con
taining ceiUin f.-aiik disclosures of his ulte
rior views, which did not at nil suit the Gener
al, with whom he was dealing. Those vU-ws
are stated in the following paragraphs :
"With vonr vcrsatiiitv, and, it I may use

Gen. D. ie Goicoiria.
This letter led to some remonstrances from
Goicouria, when bis appointment was revoked
by Walker, and hence the quarrel and these
revelations.
From this letter, and other evidence, it is
plain that Walker intended to use the posses
sion of his power in Nicaragua, as soon as he
became firmly seated in it, to make a descent
upon Cuba, and acquire it, if possible, bs;t
that, instead of doing so with any idea of fur
thering the patriotic 'views of such Cubans as
Goicouria, his great ol ject was to unite with
the secessionists of our southern States in for
ming a great Southern Confederacy, of which
Cuba and Central America should form a part.
This has been the day-dream, for years, of
many a southern politician; and the hope of
accomplishing it under Walker's auspices has
doubtless been at the bottom of the boisterous
threats of dissolution made at the South dur
ing the late camjaigu. The decree of Gen.
Walker to re-establish Slavery in Nicaragua
was one of the first steps towards establishing
this ''powerful and compact Southern Feder
ation," which was to "cut the expanding and
expansive Democracy of the North." Gen.
Walker was evidently playing a coaspicious
and important part in the programme of the
Southern Disunionists. He was laying tho ba
sis lor that Southern Slave Empire cf which
sundry Southern papers have made frequent
and mysterious mention, an I of which several
of the Southern States, as well as Cuba, Nicar
agua, and Honduras, were to become mem
bers. The quarrel between these magnates, with
these developments accompanying it, may em
barrass the movements of Walker somewhat,
and postpone the realization of his hopes ; but
while his purpose is thus made plain, as well
as the drift of his coadjutors in the Southern
States of this Union, it is evident that no rev
elation of the kind will drive these Southern
Hotspurs from adhering to their schemes, or
from claiming the support of the incoming ad
ministration. If they cannot rule the man
they have elected President, they can at least
make bis recusancy the basis of another and
a louder cry for Disunion and a Southern Fed
eration.
The New Orleans Delta, the Charleston Mer
cury, and others of that faith, have been clam
oring for the acquisition of Cuba and Central
Americans the legitimate result of the Ostcnd
Manifesto, the Cincinnati Platform, and the
election of Buchanan. The Richmond Enqui
rer, in. the article which we quoted yesterday,
tells them that they prescribe to Mr. Buchan
an a "policy which, in the nature of things, he
cannot undertake ;" and in the light of Gen.
Goicouria's revelations, this language has a
marvelous significancy. Pittsburgh Daily Ga

England have again raised tneir.iaie i

Even during the late war the rates were never

We frequently observe upon examination a
strange analogy and similitude between sub
jects superficially antagonistic and divided.
It is a very serviceable mental exercise to trace
out these essentia!, though nrd patent, similar
ities; and, if no better purpose is subserved,
it at least quicken the wit and affords cs ra
tional amusement. ""An analogy of rtore than
usual interest, and between subjects more than
UiVKieu, nas j-isi occurred 10 us
aud, for example sake, we shall endeavor to
follow it and see how far it lends. Who could
believe, for instance, that an analogy subsisted
between our country and a Pill 1 And yet
there is, in many points, a radical similitude
as we shall now prove. In every branch of
physical development it seems to be onr des
tiny to conquer. In every branch of physical
disease, the Pills and OintmeDt of Professor
Uolloway have proved efficacious for a cure.
With a population inferior to Great Britain,
we have more miles of telegraph and railroad
than England, France and Australia combined.
From his central establishment in London.
Prof. Uolloway has rescued and restored to
health more patients thaa the united physi
cians of the worid. Our commerce and our
fame cover every sea. His Tills are in the
reach and his praise is on the tongue of every
nation on the globe. The elastic character of
our institutions enable us to accommodate our
grow th to the accessions which are manifestly
in reserve lor us. The strictly universal prin
ciples upon which llolloway's Remedies are
compounded, enable them to grapple with
and overcome every variety of disease ; they
destroy the manifestations of ailment by era
dicating its causes. There is a mighty destiny
in store for the United States ; they will absorb
eventually every weaker government by the
force of tho democratic idea. The idea of
Prof, llolloway's Universal Remedies is one es
sentially democratic ; it does not limit health
to wealth but gives it a free boon to all who ask
for and employ it. It also will eventually ab
sorb all inferior schools of practice and be re
garded, universally, (as it already is by the
wise) as the supreme and only remedy. Our
country is much given to annexation, but uses
whatever power it may acquire exclusively for
the benefit of the annexed. Prof. Holloway
has extendbd. his medicinal dominion over the
four quarters of the earth he has penetrated
even tho remotest haunts of the barbarian;
and yet he carries lessing in his hand and the
only burdens he imposes are those of happi
ness and health.
We could carry out the remarkable simili
tudes of these apparently disconnected sub
jects intoinfinite detail; but enough has al
ready been said to arouse the attention of the
reader, and a very little thought will enable
him to follow up the train of meditation we
have started. The proudest destiny that we
can wish the United States is, that they may

Dimy places are whidly annihilated, and pala
ces have taken their places. Associations
have been organized for the mutual advantage
or teachers, and weekly and monthly meetings
are convening, where every question in the art
of teaching is discussed, and every superiori

cher or member of the association advances
such bene5c:al idea as may tugcest itself to

It is to be regretted that, wih her intelligent
population, she should l so far in the rear in
this matter. S'.e has not been opposed by the
influence of a s:i2"-neckdd population, like
many other counties, where conservatives stilt
exist ; but is populated with enterprising men
from the eastern Statcs,who have brou-ht wiU
them every incentive to abbreviate and facili
tate the labor of their pursuits. But, "afr.;

Teachers Let us move towards something
that will exalt our profession, which will indu
bitably add to our good, and to the improve
ment of the youth, whose welfare ia future
life depends in a great measure cpon the prin
ciples which we dally instil. School teaching
is destined to become the most respectable de
partment of industry, aul the tioxc ia wnicU
it shall become tucli is wholly with us. If w-
all strive to obtain the highest honors, making;
"Excelsior" our motto, the teacher's object
will not be pecuniary, but it will be fame and
tlove for the dissemination of knowledge. Ncv
methods will then be introduced into scboe-ls ;
new sciences will be taught, and every conve

or rather, rally for the fulfilment of their du
ties. Directors should allow teachers a portion
of their time for the purpose of attending as
sociations of this kind. .Three days out of
every school year allotted to teachers for their
instruction at stated annual meetings, would
be of ten times the value that the same time
in teaching w ould render, and by so doing they
would be complying with the desire of the Su
perintendent of common schools. (See school
tews psge G7.) Let every friend of education
make an effort to organize an annual meeting
or Institute, or at least attend when one is pro
cliimed. W. W. Shaw.

We think it is hardly known even to th
most intelligent of our readers, how deep some
of the sciences are looking down into the mys
teries of creation. We know there were wort
derful discoveries in these times, and wonder
ful uses made of them, but did not know the
Chemists were imitating in their crucibles and
even surpassing the most wonderful produc
tions of organic life. During our visit to Low
ell we were introduced by one of their promi
nent citizens to the laboratory of Dr. Ayer,
(inventor of Cherry Pectoral and Cathartic
Pills.) where we were shown with generous
frankness, his process and his products. This
master genius of his art is manufacturing the
subtle essences of flowers from tar and other
vegetable substances. His essence of Pino
Apple, Strawberry, Checkerberry, Pear, Ca
nella, Qiiiuce, Cinnamon, &c, not only equa
but they exceed in purity of flavorthose veg
etables themselves. His oil of Winter-green
is purer an 1 of better flavor than any that can
be gathered from the plant and yet is mado
by chemical composition from the Hydro-carbons
in tar ! His process is, to analyze the
substance and find the exact ultimate atoms Ct
which it is made, then recoiupose them in the
same proportions which exist in nature.-
