CLEARFIELD, Y., JAN. 28, 1857.
The Pi.aotCAcr ix Trouble. The course
of the Democratic members of the Legislature
who absented themselves from the caucus that
nominated Forney, and who voted for General
Fester, has had the t-llect of bringing down on
their devoted heads the vengeance of the Un
terriSed press through the eastern and interi
or portions of the State, from the puissant
Peuny Iranian down to the most diminutive of
the sniad-fry class of papers. The denuncia
tions of these are, however, not relished in the
western section of the. State, where Mr. Foster
has many warm admirers, who have taken up
the cmljels and are rapping their eastern breth
ren "over the knuckles severely. Besides this,
the members" referred to, have also come
out in a card, in which they say '-if tlie De
mocracy of the East will permit such men as
passed the resolution contained in the 'Pcnn
sylvaniau' of the loth inst., to arraign a por
tion of the Democracy of the West, and dis
solve all connection with them politically, they
arc much mistaken that they, (the signers of
the card,) are willing to dissolve with those
who arraign them, but not with the Democra
cy of Pennsylvania." This card is accompa
nied by a copy of a protest, signed by Messrs.
Hill, Fausold. Smith, Nicholson, Calhoun,
Cresswell and Johns, which had been prepared
before the meeting of the cacctis, setting forth
their reasons for refusing to take part in the
nomination of a candidate for U. S. Senator.
The principal reason assigned is, that Mr. Bu
chanan had thrown into the scale the weight of
the Executive influence ; '-that a premature
veto hail been interposed by Mr. Buchanan a
gainst the claims of all candidates in the field,
except the one upon whom the smiles ot the
incoming National Administration were alrea
dy dawning," which they regard as "an un
warranted assumption of authority." The
card and protest are tart and pointed, and may
cause a "family quarrel," and a political '-Kilkenny-cats"
tragedy. To us, as one of the au
dience, the performances arc decidedly in
teresting. Tue "Weather. Last week will doubtless be
long remembered for the unusual extent and
severity of its snow storms. Snow fell to an
almost unprecedented depth all over the coun
try, though we have less here than we had last
winter, interrupting railroad and telegraphic
communication, and doing serious damage in
some places. During the past week, the curs
on nearly all the railroads in the New England
States, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and
we believe some still further south, were pre
vented from rnnning for several days, and as
yet there are no regular connections made.
The streets of Boston were blocked up. At
New YctIi the storm was very severe. In the
outskirts of Philadelphia, the snow-drifts were
from 10 to 12 feet high. On the morning of
the l'.'th, a mil St wagon was found in a snow,
drift near Market-street bridge, with its occu
pants, a woman and a child, frozen to death.
Another woman was also frozen to death in the
19th ward. The snow had prevented trains
from reaching Washington City for several
days. At Charleston, South Carolina, the
thermometer indicate! 22 degs. below zero.
This seems almost incredible. The streets of
Baltimore were so thoroughly blocked up with
t;now, some drifts as high as 15 to 20 feet, that
it took all day of Monday to open the principal
thoroughfares. In Vermont, the roads were
impassable, and the mercury was 30 degs. be
low zero. At Nashville, Tennessee, the river
was frozen over, on the 22d, and people were
crossing on the ice the first time for 21 years.
At New Albany, the Ohio was frozen over,
and people were crossing on the ice, for the
first time in 40 vcars.
State Legislature. Monday a-weck was
the day fixed upon for the election of a State
Treasurer. Many of the members from the
East had visited their homes Saturday previ
ous, and were prevented by the storm of Sun
day from reaching llarrisburg for some days
after. Both the speakers were absent, and no
quorum being in ttendance in either House,
the election for State Treasurer did not take
place. It was, contended that the present
Treasurer would have to hold the office anoth
er year, as no election was held. But as the
Constitution requires that a State Treasurer
shall be elected annually, the Democrats find
themselves disappointed in this hope. They
evidently fear another defeat when an election
. for State Treasurer comes off.
In the Senate, on Tuesday, Mr. Harris pre
sented a preamble and resolutions, instructing
our Senators and requesting our IJcpiesenta
tives in Congress, to vote against the admis
sion of Kansas as a Slave State. On Thurs
day, in the House, Mr. Eystcr introduced a
resolution of instructions to our Senators to
vote for the immediate admission of Kansas as
a Free State, and only as such. A motion to
refer it to the Judiciary, was lost by a vote of
42 yeas, 50 nays the. Democrats voting against
tho motion to refer, notwithstanding the mo
tion was made by one of their number. But,
as the judiciary comrnitte is so constituted that
they had no certainty of a report against the
resolutions, the vote of tho Democrats against
thtir ev-ii niotioi iz tasifv accounted for.

THE PERSIAN WAE.
England is now fairly embarked in another
war. The nation fs, to bo sure, hardly ever
without a war of somo sort. At one lime, she
is pitted a gainst Franco then Russia is her
antagonist next Birmah, or China. Thus, in
turn, she has supported Russia and Spain a
gainst Turkey, until she annihilated the Tur
kish navy; then Spain and Russia against
France ; and, lastly, France and Turkey against
Russia. There is a subtle policy at the bottom
of all this, and no one who studies it rightly
can fail to perceive that England has playod
her cards most ably. At present, her antago
nist is Persia. She has disposed of uil other
adversaries, even cajoling France back Into an
tr.ttutt cordialt, by the shadow of the Auslro
Turkish alliance. Poor t'srruah is nearly all
absorbed by British India; and now the fool
ish Persians are r.ishing upon their fate.
Many persons connect this Persian war with
the dilliculty about the Persian arrest of one
of the messengers of the English embassy.
It had a very di til-rent origin. Ever since the
Atlghan war, which ended in the British aban
doning a possession too costly to hold, they
have had a treaty with Dost Mahomed, the sov
ereign of Cbul, to protect and defend him in
the possession of his dominions against all op
ponents. The Dost is, in fact, set up by the
British, who, though unable to maintain pos
session of the country, except at an expendi
ture of blood and treasure they could ill af
ftrd, have made provision for its acquisition
in case they should find it necessary. ThePcr
sians,with a powerful army, have attacked and
captured the city of Herat, the capital of the
western province of Afghanistan. This is Dost
Mahomed's possession, and as he cannot alone
contend against the Persians, he lias demand
ed the British aid secured to Itini by the trea
ty. Persia being unfriendly to England, the
latter has readily responded to her call. But, in
stead of going to resist the Persian attack on
Afghanistan, they have sent a strong arma
ment to the Persian Gulf to attack Persia, ami
thus give the Persians so much to do at home
that they will be unable to prosecute further
the Atlghan war.
This is the whole case in brief. The contest
has commenced with two measures looking
undeniably to British expansion. First, the
British troops have seized the Islands of Or
muz and Carsaek, in the Persian Gulf, and it
is stated that they will be retained as securi
ties for the future good behavior of Persia.
These islands are important, as giving a strong
naval power, like England, full command of
the Gulf and coast of Persia. Next, in order
to fulfil the treaty stipulation, and protectDost
Mahomed in keeping his throne, the Indian
papers inform us that it will be necessary to
garrison Cabul with British troops. Any one
familiar with British Indian history will know
that this is, as a correspondent of the London
Timet hints, the prelude to the acquisition of
the territoiy, the Dost being erTnitted still to
reign, like other native sovereigns of India,
as a mere cover.
WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
MfLITARr AFFAIB9.
The Committee on Military Affairs reported
against Mr. Lane's bill providing for expenses
incurred in the Indira wars of Oregon and
Washington Teriitories, and were sustained
by the House, notwithstanding Mr. Lane's ur
gent appeal. The President was authorized
last session, when a similar movement was
m de, to send a Commission to investigate the
claims, and two army officers and one civilian
were accordingly appointed, who have not yet
reported. The present efTbrt was to induce
Congress to authorize the payment upon the
recymmendation of this Commission, without
intelligence of the amount: but the House
would not consent, and so a large operation
has been spoiled. Territorial business makes
a void in the House. The Senate was dull
and adjourned early.
TRANSIENT PAPERS.
The Post Office Department gives notice
that neither the act of the 30th of August,
18jo, nor that of Jannary 2d, IojG, regards
newspapers or periodicals regularly mailed to
bona fide subscribers as ''transient printed
matter." Agents as well as publishers may
therefore mail them to subscribers without
prepayment of postage, provided the agent
files in the mailing office a written statement,
showing the names of newspapers or periodi
cals thus mailed, the offices to which they are
sent, and the number of actual subscribers at
each office to wliicl jthey may be directed.
THE BRIBERY CASE.
Yesterday, Mr. Simonton, the Washington
correspondent of the New York 'Times,' was
again before the Congressional Investigating
Committee, but he positively refused to dis
close what he knew of bribery and corruption ;
expressing a determination to submit to any
and every- penalty rather than betray confi
dence. Schism among the Mormons. Elder John
Hyde, hitherto one of the leading spirits
among the Latter Day Saints, who was sent to
the Saudwhich Islands to convert the heathen
to the many wife system, has denounced the
Mormon faith, and is engaged in exposing its
fallacies. Among other charges, that of falsi
fying the census of tho Territory is made.
The ex-elder says that there are not much
over half as many inhabitants in Utah as the
census returns would indicate. Names of de
ceased persons, names of disciples who never
came there, and those who have long since
gone away, have been retained to swell the ag
gregate to the required seventy thousand.
CS"""Tbe Republican contends that the reso
lution condemnatory of Mr. Backus was a
dopted unanimously. A member of his party,
one whose Democracy is "above suspicion,"
informed us that ho, as well as several others,
voted against the resolution. Tho Democracy
of Clearfield, then, are not, as 'our neighbor'
intimates, "a perfect unit on this point."
Messrs. Souther, Backus, Blame, and Bra
dy will please accept our thanks for favors.
IMPORTANT FROM KANSAS.
St. Lov'it, Jan. 20. The Republican has an
advance copy of Governor Geary's Message to
the Kansas Legislature. In laying down the
principles which are to guide his administra
tion, he says : A jealous regard for the elec
tive security aud sanctity of the ballot box,
with an adherence to the doctrine of popular
sovereignly as guaranteed in the original act
establishing the Territory ; the preservation
of the currency based on gold and silver, free
and safe immigration from every part of the
country, a determination to submit to no inva
sion oi tne sovereignty oi mo lemtpry, entire
religious freedom, a free press, free speech,
the right to assemble and discuss all questions
of public interest, trials by juries impartially
selected, the sanctity of the writ of habeas cor
pus, the repeal of all laws inconsistent with
tho Constitution of tho United States and tho
organic act, arc the ideas by which bis policy
will be shaped. His views of squatter sover
eignty are embodied in the following pat sage :
'The durability and imperative authority of
tho State Constitution, when the interest of
the people require a State government, and
the direct popular vote necessary to give it
sanction and effect, .will be a proper occasion
for all to decide tho grave political questions
which underlie a well regulated Common
wealth." The Governor advises the Legislature to let
slavery alone where the Constitution places it,
to forego legislation in reference to it until
the State Constitution is formed, lie recom
mends that tho errors and omissions in the
statue book be corrected. He denounces the
test oaths' act, and recommends it repeal.
He disapproves of tho present mode of select
ing juries, and recorameuds their selection by
ballot. The adoption of the ballot box plan is
insisted on. . -
He recommends a law requiring a residence
in the Territory of ninety days, and in certain
districts for ten days, to prevent illegal voting.
He advises a repeal of the patrol law, winch
leaves a tax on all properly for the especial
protection of slave owners. The balance of
the message, which is an able and upright doc
umcnt is devoted to local affairs.
A Brutal Miiek. The. body of a well
dressed man was found on the 16th inst. two
miles above Altona, with his throat cut and his
hands and feet frozen. It is supposed he was
murdered. The Pittsburgh Gazelle of Friday,
says : -
Nothing has yet been heard of McKinney
the supposed murderer of young Norct oss at
Altoona, last week. The father of the deceas
ed who was expected at Altoona on Wednes
day, from his home in Massachusetts, has been
kept back by the snow on the Railroad, and
the body still lies at the former place unburied
Means are being taken, wo understand, to ob
tain some information in regard to this mys
terious aflair from Dunleith, III., where the
deceased had been residing for some years
past. The proprietor of the Eaglo Hotel,
where he stopped all night with McKinney be
fore starting East from Pittsburgh, describes
him as pale and delicate in appearance, with a
very intelligent and mild countenance. He
was suffering from a tumor on his side, and it
is supposed by some that he fell in with this
companion somewhere on his route, and that
the latter had been very attentive to him in his
illness, leading the young man to suppose he
was a disinterested friend. We have heard
that it is very probable that the man's real
name who accompanied him is John Kinney,
and not McKinney, as a man of that name, a
very desperate character, answering the de
scription given of'McKinncy at the Eagle Ho
tel, who formerly resided in this city, but par
ted from his wile here and left for the West,
was afterwards seen bj some one from this vi
cinity who knew him, in the neighborhood of
Dunleith, 111. The real circumstances and
facts in regard to this strauge affair, however,
csnnot be obtained for some time, if at all.
We have taken some pains to gather some clue
to the mystery, but as yet have been unsuc
cessful. Mexico. This unhappy and distracted coun
try is continually tossing on the stormy sea of
revolution. Like the restless volcanoes of
that country, the people are forever upheaving
the foundations of government, and spreading
desolation and death throughout the land.
They seem to have no settled -idea of order
and permanancy, but drift without pilot, rud
der or compass, wherever the winds or waves
may drive them. They call their government
a Republic, but anarchy seems to darken and
confuse all notions of law or discipline. We
see it stated that Santa Anna has sent agents
to Madrid to propose to re-establish a monar
chy in Mexico, with a Spanish sovereign or
prince, provided Spain will grant him the re
quisite assistance. Santa Anna has experien
ced many vicissitudes of fortune. For some
time he has been living in retiracy ; but rest
lessTas'jhis race, he comes ' before the world
with fits novel pioject. We have no idea that
Spain will undertake the task of re-establishing
her power in Mexico. The poor, decrepit
"sick man" has no strength or energies to
waste in a vain attempt to extend his domin
ion ; when it is well known that he can scarce
ly retain his present possessions. We appre
hend that Mexico will continue to bo racked
and tortured by revolution until her people be
come more enlightened as to the true theory
of Republicanism.

Prospectiof. the American Eepublican Party.
From the Ilamsbitrg Daily Tdrgraph.
Our renders will remember that on thcTday
after the latcPresidential election we announc
ed our firm and determined purpose to labor
earnestly and unceasingly to unite and harmo
uize all the elements of opposition in our good
old Commonwealth, to tho destructive doc
trines of radical Lofocoism. We determin
ed to permit pypersoual feelings, no selfish
ends, no minoi onsiderations, so far'asjwo are
concerned, toseperate those'whose principles,
patriotism and policy should identify and bind
t lie m together.' .No one can point out to us
ary such radical difference in sentiment on the
great questions of public policy, among the
intelligent men by whatever name called, who
make up that opposttion, as shouldj for a mo
ment divide and distract their Councils.
Whether they call themselves Americans, Re
publicans or Old line Whigs, their views on all
these great questions are altogether similar, if
not identical. Arc the Americans opposed to
tho wholesale importation of foreign squalid
paupers and vicious criminals, who crowd the
avenues to tho ballot-boxes, and who make
our election canvasses but a system of fraud
and perjury t Surely there is no honest Re
publican in the land whose cheek does not
burn with indignation when he remembers that
his favorite and gallant candidate way borne
down in the late contest by the votes, and ma
ny of them illegal and fraudulerd.'of this same
miserable, priest-ridden foreign rabble. Are
the Republicans against the extension of the
area of human bondage, and tho curtailment
of the power of the slave oligarchy that have
been "lording it over the heritage" of free
men for many long years? Every genuine
"American" in the State is with you heart
and soul. It is a part and parcel of his nature,
of the humanity within him. And hewould
be false to the dictates of his own feelings and
conscience, false to the teachings of his youth,
the sober judgment of his manhood, and the
instincts of a generous nature, if every fibre
of his frame and every pulsation of his heart
did not rebel against the extension and perpet
uation of ajsystcm fraught with cruelty and
wrong to his fellow man, and which must in
voke upon (he oppressors the righteous retri
butions of Heaven. To the "Old line Whig"
there is nothing new fanglud or strange in ei
ther of the foregoing sentiments. T!:oy were,
and so long as he follows the precepts and doc
trines of his great champion and chieftain,
must continue to be cardinal principles of his
creed. It is true, aspiring and selfish politi
cians may attempt to magnify minor or alleg
ed differences. Political combinations strug
gling for power and ascendancy may bo horri
fied at what they denounce as an unholy alli
ance. It is not of such we write, or whom we
hope to influence by the considerations we
here suggest. But it is of the honest, candid,
manly individuals composing nearly one-fourth
of a million of free voters of Pennsylvania, of
whom and to whom we speak. Why, there
fore, should there be any division and distrac
tion 7 Divided aud disjointed we can accom
plish nothing, but the success of the corrupt
and dangerous doctrines of the sham Democ
racy ,which we alike detest and abhor, and the
prostration of the very principles and policy
about which it would puzzle the most acute
aud sagacious to point out wherein we mate
rially dilfer.
That we shall be firmly and cordially united
in our future political contesis, tho signs of
the times appear to indicate with almost uner
ring certainty. From a!! parts of the Stale we
have the most cheering and abundant eviden
ces that - our friends will bu.y their political
feuds in the deep oblivion of the past. And
were any thing wanting to confirm the ap
proach of dawn on our political horizon, the
proceedings of our Legislature, and the per
fect union and harmony of the opposition to
the Shamocracy, makes our sky radiant with
promise and hope. And the lull, hearty and
cheerful response that their action meets from
the people every where, leaves nothing on
which to cherish a doubt or entertain a fear.
Wc cannot refrain from congrat.ilaiing our
friends throughout the Commonwealth, that a
mid all the vicissitudes and misfortunes of the
last campaign amid the disaster and defeat
we then sustained, wc still had the good for
tune to secure such a representation in the le
gislature of the Commonwealth, as promise,
by their intelligent and patriotic action, not
only wise and wholesome legislation, but by
their example and influence to unite and ce
ment the entire opposition to Locofocoism in
one common effort for the success of the great
American Republican principles. Should they
persevere as they have commenced, and wc
are confident they will, they Vill not only se
cure such legislation as will redound to the
interests and houor of the State, but will in
spire our friends with courage and energy .and
we will find ourselves in the next campaign,
not only a unit in action, bat triumphant in
result.
Having accomplished these great results,
they will have the approval of their own con
sciences, be sustained bj their constituency,
and will receive as they richly merit, -the plau
dits of "well done good and faithful servants.'
A Terrible Tragedy occurred at Baltimore,
Maryland, on the 21st. A druggist filled a
prescription ordered by Arnold, a German
physician, for a child. The child took the me
dicine and died immediately. Arnold took
the remainder of the medicine to the drug
gist, and told him he had made a fatal mis
take. The druggist persisted that the medi
cine was right, and to show his confidence In
his correctness, swallowed a portion of it him
self. He was immediately attacked by horri
ble convulsions and died in 5 minutes. The
doctor, who merely tasted the prescription,
and spit it from his mouth, was also attacked,
and was with difficulty saved. The affair oc
casioned much excitement. The druggist had
mixed cyanuset of potassium with lemon juice,
thus developing enough prussic acid ia the

Verges. The Archbishop instantly expired.
The proceedings of the Paris Conference
remain obscure. The Pays says t!u Confer

The delay is attributed by some to the neces

to a .new disagreement. No apprehension Is
felt for any other than a pacific result.
The Swiss difficulty remains as before, but

the Immaculate Conception. The Bishop fell

Graham Tr., Jan. 20, 1857.
Ma. Row : I desire to make a statement
ti. rough the columns cf your paper, relative to
the conduct of the Postmaster General and a
citizen of our own county, who l.ol-ls a clerk
ship, it is said, in Washington city.
A lar'e number of the ciiizcr.sofGrahr.nl
township, all of whom except two or three
were Democrats, petitioned for a post oifice at
Palestine, in said township, ani to have :ae ap
pointed postmaster,and the petition was sent fo
the depaitruent. A short tiuie after, if I am
correctly informed, the clerk referred to in
formed a citizen of your place that as I was
out of the ranks of the Democracy I could un
der no circumstances receive the appointment,
but that any man be would name in their par
ty could be appointed. Accordingly Mr. Wil
helm was named, and soon after a blunit was
sent to him to fill up as to the practicability of
the routft, Ike. Mr. Wilhelm is a worthy and
respectable man, and was one of the signers of
the petition for the office at Palestine; but
Mr. Wilhelm lives near a mile from the place
petitioned for, and all know that this point is
more convenient, as they have business here
almost daily. When I handed the petition, as
requested by the signers, to this Clearfield
under-clerk, D. V.. Moore, requesting him to
present it to the Postmaster General, he in
formed me that they had no objection to ap
pointing postmasters out of their own ranks
sometimes, where the office would not bo used
for political purposes against them which
might, perhaps, indicate what use they make
of them. Those gentlemen can rest assured
that they will not receive many thanks from
any party here, their own not excepted.
As much dissatisfaction exists here about
the matter, I have thought proper to make this
statement. Yours, &c,
J. P. Nllsos.
