r CLEARFIELD, PA., JAN. 21, 1?57.
ELECTION 0? TJ. S. SE2s AT32.
Immediately after the appearance of our last
paper, in winch we stated tLat a strong effort
was being made against John V. Forney, the
caucus rn'inincc of the Di-niocr-itic liitrinbcrs
of the Legislature, for U. S. Senator, we re
ceived the gratifying intelligence- thai lie had
been defeated, anil Gen. Simon Cameron, the"
Americ.m Republican candidate, elected on
Ihe first bal.t. Gen. Cameron received the
votes of all the American!" and Republicans of
both Houses, together with three Democrat?,
namely Lebo sn 1 Wagonselh-r, of Sehin Ikill,
and Manear, of YWa county. S--ven Demo
crats voted for Henry D. Foster, and one for
William Wiikins. The votes will be foacd in
another column of our paper.
The result of this contest cannot fail to gra
tify every opponent of Locofocoisro in Penn
sylvania. Forney was the pet and favorite
candidate of Buchanan, and the latter, it is
said, threw all the weight of his position and
influence in his favor, on the ground that his
"claims wcr superior to those of nil other can
didates, and outweighed every other consid
eration. The Penns-jlcauian. and other prom
inent papers, had for sonic time been zealous
ly engaged urging these 'claims,' and the de
feat of Forney must, therefore, be regarded
not only as a defeat of the party and its head,
but as a rebuke to tha President elect for pre
suming to indulge in unjust ifiablo dictation.
It would no doult have been proper for hirn
to endeavor to secure the election of a man
who would have brought with him character
and influence into the National Senate; Lut
cot in a manner that gives room to sr.pj.ose
that lie distrusted such men as Black, Foster
and Buckalew, and which could ctdy have the
eSVct of embittering them aguir.bt hir.i. Sir.
Buchanan hr.s committed an error which speaks
-illy. of his political wisdom for certainly to
bi.i bad management and that of Lis friends
is t J no inconsiderable degree attributable the
defeat of his favorite, and thi-t too in a Le
gislature of his ow n State, in which his party
tad a majority on joint ballot.
There Ua moral to be drawn from the elec
tion cf Gen. Cameron, which ws trust will not
be lost upon the various elements arrayed a
gair.st the Democracy. It shons clearly what
they can accomplish by i:niu-d and harmoni
ous action ; and tLui if they allow diss.-nsions
and divisions to exht in tlitdr rank, they can
Only expect their e Hurts to prove futile. In
the late Presidential contest, a pack of trading
politicians succeeded, by creating and keep
ing up a -plt among the Oj position, in tliriu
irg this State to liuchaimn. In the co":!e.-it
tor U. S. Senator, the Deri.ocracy were divi
ded, and defeat was their fate. Wo trr.t.
ti.ertfore, that the le:-sun taught will in future
be remembered I y the Americans and Repub
licans id Pennsylvania, and that they may act
in accordance with its teachings. And when
ever one of these traitorous disorganizes, who
for a consideration would sell his patty, shows
himself, lst Lim be kicked out of our rank
the more prompt and summary the ejection,
the better. This we must do if we wuh to
build up a permanent and reliable parly.
We seo that the Democratic papers are
giving Lebo, Wagonseiier and Mallear partic
ular ' for voting tor Cameron, charging
them with being 'corrapt,' 'bought,' &c, and
Mr. Foster and those who voted for him als
receive no small bhare of con Jemn ition. No
thing less could be expected. Hut we see it
stated that Lebo,Wagonseller and jdanear were
friends of (Jen. Cass when he and Buchanan
were rival candidates for the Presidency, and
that for advocating the claims of Gen. Cass
they had been proscribed and stricken down in
more than one instance, both in their persons
and those of their friends, by the Buchanan in
terest. An opportunity to avenge their wrongs
upon the leader occurred, and they availed
-themselves of it. Their revenge has been as
signal and effective as the came of its provo
cation was great. This may give a better in--sight
into the motives which. actuated the gen
'tleiuen named in taking the course they did,
in the election of IT. S. Senator, than the rea
sons assigned by the Democt at ic journals.
Kansas. The Territorial "Legislature" was
to meet in Lecompton, on the second Monday
in January, the 12th, and Gov. Geary, in his
message to that body, was expected to n com-
' mend the repeal of the most obnoxiou enact
ments found in the Kansas statutes. A "Law
And Older" Convention is advertised to be
lield at Lecompton at the same tinie, to which
delegates have been elected from the different
- pro-slavery localities. The Free State Legis
lature wa3 to meet at Topeka on the 6th Janu
ary. Thy designed only to meet for tho pur
pose of continuing their existence, and then
adjourn to await the action of Congress on the
admission of Kansas as a State. Gov. Robin
son resigned hi post, and Is now in Washing-
- ton City. '

About instituting proceedings against the
Charoliersblirg BanK, tho Uonesdale Bank, and
'number of others, to recover tho forfeiture

WASHISGTO GOSSIP.
Foesei . is Washisgtos. The defeat of
Forney has created much excitement here to
day among all parties. 3Iany of the Demo
crats arc dolefully grieving many others are
receiving it with pleased acquiescence," and
the opposition with joy. This failure of Mr.
Buchanan's first inovemenlmfter his election
to tho Presidency argues badly.
A Kescontre. An unpleasant personal ren
contre took place on the floor of the House
a few days since, between Campbell, of Ohio,
and Rust. It is understood that Knst was an
gered by Campbell's pressure of the previous
question on referring the message to the Com
mittee of the Whoie, so that the House -could
take up the Tariff bill, and told Campbell it
was a mean trick, or something to that effect.
Campbell retorted with offensive language and
endeavored to reach Rust, but was prevented
by A. K. Marshall, who interfered to preserve
the peace. There are rumors of a duel, of
course, but the affair will probably blow over.
Investigating Committee. Only two wit
nesses have been examined before the investi
gating Committee Mr. Raymond and Mr.
Simonton. The former disputed the authori
ty, saying jjis statements were predicated upon
representations which, as a journalist, he
would not divulge. Mr. Simonton was two
hours and a tiulf subjected to a close scrutiny,
covering former and present transactions.
Finally, one question was proposed which lie
positively refused to answer, and there the ex
amination closed, with an intimation that he
might be arris.ed.
Tue PaEsiinEsair. Recent developments
give reasonable assurance that Gen. Cass is de
feated for the Premiership. An immense ad
verse pressure has been brought to bear, which
he could not resist. Mr. Buchanan has said,
nithin a few days, if he could settle on a Sec
retary of State the rest would follow naturally
within twenty-four hours. The Southern in
terest, headed by Mr. Toombs, is making a
formidable demonstration in favor of Mr. Tou
cey, in perference to Mr. Clifford, as tho Xew
England man.

Democratic Miieting. The Democracy of
Clearfield held a county meeting in the Court
House in this place last evening. They se
lected delegates to their State Convention, and"
instructed them to favor tlm nomination of
I Hon. G. R. Barrett, as a candidate for Gover
nor. Among the resolutions adopted was one
denouncing the three Democrats who voted for
Cameron, and another condemning the course
of their Representative, Mr. Backus, relative
to tho U. S. Senatorship. When the latter
resolution was offered for adoption, things
didn't work very "harmoniously," some ad
vocating and others opposing it, but finally it
was passed. Tho election of Cameron has put
the Democracy wonderfully out of humor.

Messrs. Lebo and Wagonseller, of 5choyl
ki'.l, and Menear, of York, Democrats, voted
for Gen. Cameron.
The announcement of the vote was received
with prolonged applause in the galleries.
Mr. Browne presented a protest against the
legality of the proceedings, which Is under
stood to refer to the proceedings of the Sen
ate in not electing a teller, at least one day
before the election, according to law.
Messrs. Ball and Penrose objected to receiv
ing the protest, oil the grouud that the Con
vention kept no journal.
Pending the question, Mr. Penrose moved
to adjourn, which was lost by a tie vote yeas
GO nays Co.
Mr. Browne's motion was then discussed -at
some length by various members, and finally
ruied out of order.
The Convention then adjonrned.
The Senate having retired, the teller of the
House reported the result to the House, and
that body thereupon adjourned.
The correspondent of the Pittsburgh Cia
:clle, writing from Ilarrisburg, under date of
Jan. 15, says : On yesterday we had an exci
ting time in the House. The Democrats not
satisfied with being beaten by Cameron for
Senator, endeavored to have a protest entered
upon the journals of the House. The protest
was also introduced into the Senate about the
same time. It proclaims the absurd doctrinu
that a concurrent majority of both Houses is
necessary to validate the election. The only
otiier point it raises is that the Senate failed
to appoint a teller the day before the election
came on, and notify the House cf its action
according to the provisions of the act of 1SCD.
Their mouths ought to be estopped forever
upon this point. For if there was any illegal
ity iu the proceedings the Democrats were for
tieths criminis. The whole of the Democratic
minority in the Senate voted togo into joint
convention. The House on the 13th the
Democratic majority concurring "appoint
ed a committee to wait upon the Senate to in
form them that the House was ready to go in
to convention. Thus it will be easily seen
hat the Democrats of both Houses by their
own action effectually, precluded themselves
from raising these points of illegality. In
deed they ar mere pretexts mere after
thoughts which never would have been heard
of if Forney had bcea elected.
Yesterday, notwithstanding the Cameron
Democrats voted steadily with the minority,
the majority sought to force the House to
place this protest upon ils records. The mi
nority, under the lead of Ball, Eyster, Hic
statid, of Lancaster, and others, fought them
under the rules until they forced them to ad
journ about 3 P. M.
Holloway's Ointmen' and nils, a certain
Remedy for Ulcerous Sores. Jeremiah Hen
derson, of Wilmington, North Carolina, suff
ered for seven years and five months with six
ulcerous sores on his leg, and three on his
arms, which defied every kind of ' treatment,
although he used some of the most noted rem
edies for the cure of the same, both internal
and external, it was without avail. At last, lie
had recourse to Ilolloway's Ointment and Pills
which quickly caused tho wounds to ha-o an
improved appearance, and by continuing with
these remedies fort;n weeks, he was com
pletely cured, and has ever since enjoyed tho
bust of health.

PEKN3YLVASIA LEGISLATURE- .'
Senate. Ilarrisburgh, Jan. 14. Mr.Wright
presented a protest agaiust the election of Si
uion Cameron as United Senator, assigning
the following reasons : .
,First. Because he did not receive a concur

1839, requiring the appointment of a teller,
and the making of nominations at least one
day before tho meeting of the Convention. .
The protest is signed by fourteen Democrat

Sexator Harlan. The case of Mr. Harlan
whose seat in the U. Senate was contested,
is as follows : Mr. Harlan, who is a Republi
can, was chosen two years ao a Senator from
Iowa, when there was a locoloco imijoiity in
tha State Senate ami a Republican ditto m
the House. Their U. S. Setators are chosen
in joint Convention, and this Courts! ion hav
ing fixed a" day for the tdection, adjnurried to
that time. The Senate, containing a majority
of Democrats, as a distinct body, paid no at
tention to the joint meeting, and instead of ad
journing to meet in joint convention adjouru-
e 1 over to meet in ordinary session as a Sen
lite. But the Republican Senators convened
with the House iu joint lneefiriz, agreeably to
the adjournment, mid constituting the requit
ed quorum, proceeded to elect a Senator.
Mr. ilui Un, of course, received the certificates
of election and has been acting as Senator ev
er uiiiue.- The committee of the U. S. Senate
having charge of tho subject, have reoortt-I
ga!nst falm, Sod h his !nct bn trust.
Bones as Mascre. When bouc-dust, such
as is comraouly employed as manure, is left
for some time iu contact with wafer, and the
latter is filtered y, it is found to contain
appreciable quantities of the phosphates of
lime and magnesia. .; The same result is ob
tained when the water is freed from .carbonic
acid by long boiling. By filtering water- for
months through tho same mass of bone-dust,
it was found constantly to contaiu these earthy
phosphates, and their quantity even appeared
to increase ia proportion as the organic mat
ter of the bones became putrid in consequence
of its long contact with water and air, and the
Water flowing off became turbid and offensive.
This fact seems to have some practical value
in agriculture, as it shows that, without any
artificial preparation, tha earthy phosphates
may be extracted from the bones and intro
duced into the soil in a state of solution, per
haps exactly in the quantity necessary for their
appointed functions, and that in the employ,
roent of bone-dust as manure, all the -reparation
necessary is perhaps to lay it iu heaps
during the summer, and keep it constantly
rnoist. Prof. Wohler.
The State of Indiana bids fair to haro no
Scnafors whatever in Congress during the next
year. It will be remembered that there is al
ready one vacancy in the Senate from Indiana,
in consequence of the expiration of PetU's
term. Two years the Democrats had one
House tjfj the Legislature, and the opposition
the other; but upon joint ballot the latter
would have had a clear majority, and could
have elected their man for Senator. Under
these circumstances the Locos refused to go
into joint ballot at all, and so the vacancy re
mains unfilled ; and as Brighfs terra expires
on the 4th of March, there are two Senators to
be elected. Now the Locos have a clear mi
jority on joint ballot ; but the Republicans v. bo
control the Senate will probably play them
back their own game, and refuse to go into a
election.'
