A GLANCE AT A PEW FACTS.
Immediately after ihc elections last fall, and
on several occasions since, we expressed tl;e
belief that the more prominent of the "side
door" leaders would attorn. t to play ofTin tho
approaching Gubernatorial contest the same
game of duplicity and deception, by which
they, in tho Presidential contest, succeeded
but too well in dividing the Opposition to Lo
cofocoism and its Roman Catholic adherents,
and thereby gave the electoral voto of Penn
sylvania to Buchanan. "We thought we had
good and sufficient reasons for forming snch
an opinion, and the sequel shows that wo werc-l
Dot mistaken.
- On the 25th day of March last, a Shite Con
vention, composed of Americans and Republi
cans, assembled at liarrisburg, in pursuance of
a call issued by the members of tho Legisla
ture. Both branches of the Opposition to Lo
cofocoism were well represented in fuct,it vyas
the largest State Contention,- wo believe, ever
held in Pennsylvania. Each had a fair repre
sentation, a fair voice in tho deliberations of
tho body, and all were well satisfied. That
Convention, mado up of soma of tho best and
most influential men in the State, representing
tho American as well as tho Republican senti
ment, nominated Hon. David Wilmot, of Brad
ford county, for Governor, Hon. William Mill
ward, of Philadelphia, for Canal Commission
er, and Joseph J. Lewis, Esq., of Chester
county, and James Vecch, Esq., of Fayette
county, for Judges of the Supreme Court. Mr.
Wilruot Is known to entertain, and has express
ed as good American sentiments as any man
in the Commonwealth, and his determined op
position to tho extension of slavery and the
aggressions of the slave power, is well known
to every one. JVIr. Milhvard is said to be an
excellent man, and by the decided stand lie
took for tho tinion electoral ticket last fall,
won hosts of friends. Mr. Lewis is reprcscnt-
.. .J 1 .1 I. , 1 ' - . t- .
vu uv iiiuae v u u kuuh ijiiii us a ukiu 01 uuituy
and every way well qualified to fill tho oflice
for which he has been named. Of Mr. Vecch
we have some personal knowledge". Ho is an
estimable man, possessed of far more than or
dinary ability, and qualified to discharge the
duties of the station for which he is named,
with honor to himself and credit to the Judi
ciary. The political antecedents of these men
are snch as to commend them as strongly to
our American as to our Republican friends.
Now let us "see what has been the cours j of
the 'side-door' leaders. They pretended that
the "pure Americans" would have to be gui
ded by the action of their State council, which
convened at Altoona sometime in April. That
council tmIor"l and ratified the nomination of
Wilmot and the rest of the ticket, by a deci
ded majority. But this did not "serve their
purpose," and hence they issued a call for ano
ther Convention, which met at Lancaster a
few days since. Not over 8 or 10 counties, we
sec, were-represented. The proceedings were
"rich, rare and epicy," and the farce was en
tirely played out nominations made, and
after several ineffectual attempts, tlicy were
finally declared unanimous. If Baron Dubois,
the Dutch Minister to Washington, had seen
this affair, well might he havo exclaimed, as
lio did on ono occasion, "Vot a country, vot a
beepl?sv" And now it will require no pro-'
phctic vision to foresee what a pulling and
blowing will be done about these pretended .1
vierican nominees, and wo shouldn't be? sur
prised to see tho Locof jco papers pnising
them unreservedly, for we think the design of
the whole affair is to aid Packer & Co. Any
one that cannot sec this, deserves rather our
pity than our censure ; . and wo will now only
yet express ffcc hope that sensible and reason
able luen will not permit themselves to be de
ceived and led astray by the political tricksters
who arc at tho bottom of the-movement, and
whose political integrity can only bo regarded
as of tho most problematical character."
The Washington Hotel epidemic still con
tinues to piuzlo the Doctors. The New York
Tribune says : Al ter hearing and reading very
fully on the subject, we are firmly convinced
that the late sickness originated in the imper
fect sc wet ago and ventilation of the National
Hotel, whereby volumes of pestilential gases,
which should have passed away through sewers
or flues, were discharged into the basement of
tho house, rendering it an inevitable genera
tion of plague. This is so obvious a deduction
Irora established facts, that wo see no proba
bility in the more horriblo hypothesis.
ETlie President has some trouble in get
ting a Governor for Utah. Col. Cummins has
also declined, and the appointment has been
tendered to Ex Gov. P Frank Thomas, of
Maryland, who, it is thought, will accept. It
is not yel known who are to be the judges and
Marshall. Tho Secretary of War has issued
orders for loo movement of 2500 troops tinder
Col. Harney to Utah. :
Mi max Coiktt. A meeting of innkeepers
was beld at Millroy on tho 80th May, at which
& report was adopted setting forth .that tho
great trouble and expense that they were at to
obtain license to accommodate the pnblic, and
the unusual high, price of provisions, has in
duced them to pursue a course that will enablo
. them to accommodate their customers and ren
der them comfortable, and a bill of prices a
greed upon.
HONEST TALK WITH HONEST AMERICANS:
Why should yon opposo David Wilmot
asks tho Philadelphia Daily Sun of June 4th.
We showed yoit yesterday that you could not
consistently do so on tho scoro of American
ism. Wo consider that question settled with
nil men who can reason and arc swayed by it.
Should you opposo him on the ground of
Freesoilism ! Nay, that you daro not do, for
tho American Party in Pennsylvania has de
clared in favor of frecsotl, and so has the par
ty lit Kentucky. Nay, do not now play th6
lool, and say freesoilism is a new feature in
party politics. It is not. Do you not know
it is not 1 If you do not, you ought to be
modest and learn bcfo.rc you attempt to direct.
If you do know it, then we wish to have noth
ing more to say to you for you aro a crafty
deceiver.
Do you assert that to bo a Froesoiler is to in
terfere with the rights of the South 1 Non
sense. None but a perfect ignoramus would
wish to meddle with affairs which do not con
cern liim at all.' There was a freesoil senti
ment in tho South at ono time, or, in otiicr
words, there was no disposition to extend tho
area of slavery, until the violation of wise com
promises or legislative compacts, wheu tho
whole matter was thrown before the pooplo for
the expression of their sentiments, which can
only be given by votes.
Therefore, we ask every Pennsylvanian who
reads this to say whether he is in favcr of ex
tending tho area of slavery or keeping it with
in its present limits? The people are called
on to express their opinion on this subject.
We do not mean to say that tho abrogators in
tended this, but such is the effect of the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise, and if tho peo
ple still insist on their right to express an opin
ion, surely no sensible man hhould 'complain.
Judges may decide questions of Constitu
tional law lawyers may argue until they stop
Congressmen may make long speeches ed
itors may write and publish their comments,
strictures and arguments but tho poor people
can only show their views of matters and per
sons by their ballots;
Shall they be cbided for this 7 Shall they
bo prevented from doing this 7- If they are
lectured by demagogues and political zebras
it is no master but if the right be trammelled
there will be trouble if it is destroyed, then
what then 7 Merely this government is at
an end and tho People will triumph they will
rule the ruler.
Conflict or ArTnonrrr. A Serious Con
flict between State and Federal officers has oc
curred in Green co., Ohio... A deputy Mar
shal of the United States, with eleven assis
tants, went from Cincinnati, on Tuesday, to
arrest four persons iu Champaign county, on a
charge of harboring fugitive slaves nine months
ago. The arrests were made on Wednesday,
when a writ of habeas corpus was procured, but
before it could be served the Marshal had got
out of the county. Another writ was pro
cured in Green County, and served by the
Sheriff. Tho Marshal resisted, and several
shots were fired ; but the United States ofliccrs
were nt last overpowered, taken prisoners, and
conveyed to Springfield for trial, on tho charge
of resisting the Sheriff whilo in the perfor
mance of his duty. The aflair very naturally
created intense excitement. Tho Secretary
of the Interior, on application of the United
States Marshal at Cincinnati, has sent private
instructions in the case, and Judge Lcavitt, of
the United States District Court, has granted
a writ of hahras corpus to bring tho arrested
ofliccrs Wfore him, at Cincinnati. Should re
sistance be offered, it is said Government
troops will bo ordered out.
Jikoe Ci.x.ni.voiiam. A Kansas correspon
dent of the New York Times writes:
"There is a prevalent rumor lor a day or two,
that Judge Cunningham is killed. Ho left
Kansas City three weeks ago for bis court at
Fort Scott, and has not been heard from since.
He was the only Free Stale Judge in Kansas,
and it is known be has been somewhat obnox
ious to the Pre-Slavcry rabblo since his ap
pointment. Wo bopo to hear something more
definite soon."
Judge Cunningham was from Beaver county,
Pent). Letters from Kansas in the Chicago
papers, of a later date, state that nothing fur
ther has been heard of him, and that the tears
concerning him are deepening:

SUGAR.
The exorbitant prico of sugar in every part
of the L'nited States, naturally excites much
complaint, as that saccharine can no longer be
regarded as a mere delicacy, but rather as rn
arlicle of absolute necessity by all classes of
society. . Such being tho case, the attention
of our citizens should be turned iu an especial
manner to the home products of cane, maple
and honey. In no other way, at present ap
parent, is the very heavy tax levied by sugar
merchants on prudent housekeepers, likely to
bo reduced. According to the census of 13."G,
the product of sugar in Louisiana and its vi
cinity amounted to 217, 1S3 hhds., valued at
$12,378,800 j ami the introduction of the Chi
nese sugar cane is likely to extend that pro
duct into tho Mid lie and even tho Northern
States. The maple sugar, for tho same year,
made in the Northern States, weighed o4,2j3,
400 pounds, and wo aro rejoiced to observe
that jt is rapidly increasing. The quantity
manufactured the present season in tho several
States, is enormous, exceeding, it is C3tinvitcd,
100,000,000 pounds, which, at sixteen cents
per pouud, tho present price, is worth $10,000,
000 by no means an insignificant item. This,
says tho Louisville Journal, "is.doublo the
quantity that was manufactured last year, the
increase having been stimulated by the scarci
ty and consequent high price of our Southern
sugars."
, Tho beeswax and honey produced in 1850
gave a return of 1 1,851,700 pouuds, worth $2,
244,800 ; and it should also bo remembered
that largo quantities of honey are exported
both from Cuba and St. Domingo. We may
also refer to molasses as a kindred article. 'In
1830 the United States produced 12,700,900
gallons, worth $1,510,270. A glance at these
figures will, wo are sure, equally afford conso
lation to consumers, and encouragemcut to ag
riculturalists' for if tho cultivation of our
homo saccharines could bo zealously per
severed in for a few years, not only would the
price of foreign sugar bo lowered, but it would
be almost banished from the market.
FROM UTAH. ,
Tho Leavenworth correspondent of tho St.
Louis Democrat notes tho arrival there from
Utah of Gen. Burr and Judge Stiles. He
says :
"Their accounts of affairs in that territory
re very exciting. Uho Mormons, during the
past winter, have been perpetrating many out
rages upon the gentiles and United States au
thorities. These gcutltiueii confirm the ac
counts furnished the press by Judge Drum
inoiid, and say tlxit it is worse now in Salt
Lake City than it was at tho time Drummond
left. Several have been murdered and many
robberies committed by tho Mormons during
the last winter. The laws and courts of the
United States are repudiated by order of Gov.
Young, whoso will is supreme in that section
of our country, and tho authorities of the gen
eral government treated very indignantly.
Judge Stiles' court had been compelled to ad
journ in consequence of the mobocratic spirit
manifested in opposition to it, by tho devoted
followers of Young, rendering it Impossible to
Issue a process in L'tah emanating from the
district courts established there by act of Con
gress. Tho Mormons claimed exclusive juris
diction, and repudiated tho idea that govern
ment has any authority In that territory in any
manner whatever. .
Tho surveyor-general has been threatened
with violence several times, and nt last forced
to leave for safety. Judgo Stiles could not
execute the functions of his oflice, and conclu
ded to visit Washington to see what could be
done.
Mrs. Farnham, of Salt Lake City, had been
threatened and compelled to leave, and she
came on in tho company which arrived yester
day. Tho crime alleged against her, was "board
ing gentiles," which was contrary to tho will
of the Governor.
Tho Mormons express themselves de
termined to resist to the death every attempt
of tho general government to establish any au
thority in Utah. "That was thcircountry, and
no power on earth shall interfere with them."
They had a code of laws made by themselves,
and they should ' enforce them, establish and
maintain their own courts in spite of opposi
tion. This is illustrating the principle of squat
ter sovereignty with a vengeance."
Kansas Governor Walker's Inaugural.
St. Lot, is, Juno U, 1857.
Gov. Walker's Inaugural is received. It is
long, conciliatory and persuasive. It recog
nizes tho Territorial enactments ; says that all
constitutional laws must be executed j urges
all parties to participate in tho election j be
lieves tho Convention will submit a Constitu
tion to tho peoplo, and in that caso does not
lliiuk Congress will reject it; earnestly itnyrcs
scs tho necessity of removing Slavery agita
tion from the elections, from tho halls of Con
gress and from Presidential elections says
that Slavery will ultimately be determined by
climatic law, and that it was this law now ope
rating for and against Slavery in Kansas. - :
In tho event that Slavery .cannot exist in
Kansas, he says, that she has Constitutional
duties in common with her sister States, espe
cially Missouri. He trusts that her Constitu
tion will contain clauses forever securing that
State all her Constitutional guarantees both by
Federal and Stato authority, and supremacy
w ithin her own limits without the authority of
the Supremo Court of the United States.-;
, Ho concludes by saying, that If the questions
now disturbing theTcrritory are decided peace
fully, he sees lor Kansas an immediate career
of" sure progress and prosperity unsurpassed
in the history, of the world j bat that if they
are not so decided, fraud, violence and Injus
tioe will reign, and history will record the fact
that Kansas was , tho grave of the American
Union. : - - V ,v , si

A Convention at was a Convention Bacy
"Purceedings."
The "straight-out" American Convention
met at Lancaster .on the 3d inst. Tho coun
ties of Allegheny, Berks, Bradford, Dauphin,
Lancaster, Montgomery, Clearfield, Northamp
ton, York, and Philadelphia, werg only repre
sented, and they sending some fifty delegates.
Col. D. 31 'Curdy, of Allegheny, presided. Af
ter tho oflicers bad been elected an efiort was
mado to go into nomination for State officers,
but as it was opposed it was withdrawn, aud
th'j Convention udjoui ned until two o'clock.
C'jJi? a-wter Express .remarks : "It was
understood this morning that John P. Sander
son, of The Daily Xcu s, and other leading spir
its of tho Convention, came here for tho pur
pose of nominating Governor deary as the
Gubernatorial candidate, which would no doubt
have been done, had his name been presented
to the Convention ; but one of his f riends, a
delegate to the Convention, received a des
patch from Colonel Geary to-day, authorizing
him to withdraw his name, if presented."
The Convention met at two o'clock and pro
ceeded at once to norcinato a candidate for
Governor. Isaac Hazlclyirst, Esq., of Phila
delphia, was declared to bo the nominee. Be
fore the nominations were made, . 3Ir. Dartt,
delegate from Bradford county, presented a
card," withdrawing from the Convention, in
which he stated that the Americans in his sec
tion had full confidence in the Americanism
and integrity oi David Wilmot, and could not
be drawn from him to support any other man
for Governor. Nominations for Supreme Jud
ges being in order, Jacob Broom, of Philadel
phia, James Veech, of Fayette, and Joseph J.
Lewis, of Chcstor, were nominated. These
nominations led to a general debate. A reso
lution was offered deprecating parly interfe
rence in, the election of the judiciary declar-
inglhat they would not make any nominations
for Supreme Judges but recommending the
support of Judge. Sharswood, of Philadelphia,
and James Veech, of Fayette, as tho People's
Candidates. This resolution gave rise to an
irregulai and animated discussion, in which
tho Republican proclivities of 3Ir. Veech and
the Democracy of Judge Sharswood were very
freely canvassed, amid Vociferous applause".
An amendment was finally offered declaring it
inexpedient to make any nominations for Su
premo Judges, which, pending, the original
resolution was withdrawn. Finally 3Ir. Broom
was nominated by a vote of 40 to 8. A voto
to make his nomination unanimous failed.
The resolution was again renewed deprecating
political interference in the election of the Ju
diciary, and declaring it inexpedient to make
any nominations for Supreme Court. It was
asserted that not another good American could
bo found, to make a respectable- run for tho
office, in the western part of tho Stale. Jlr.
Thomas of York, regretted it was so difficult
to find a competent member of the legal pro
fession in the west to fill that office. A mo
tion to reconsider tho nomination of 3Ir.Broom"
waz lojt by a vote of yeas 21, nay 28. A del
egate suggested, inasmuch as the Convention
had "got into a snarl," tho appointment of a
committee to take tho subject into considera
tion and canvass the Americanism of the can
didates presented. Jasper E. Biady, of Alle
gheny, having been nominated, an Allegheny
delegate endorsad his Americanism, but was
sorry to say Mr. Brady had no friends west of
Altoona, and his nomination would bo inexpe
dient. Mr. Church was in favor of nominating
Mr. Brady, as b was as good an American as
could be found, and-in every way competent.
The Allegheny delegate said this was a deli
cate question, and he did not wish to go into
particulars; but it was sufficient to know that
in Allegheny county lie could not get twenty
five votes j and theAHeghcny delegation would
feel bound "to put their foot" upon his nomi
nation, although they had no doubts of the
soundness of his American principles. Mr.
Brady was finally nominated by a voto of 48 lo
8. A mot ion" to make tho nomination unani
mous was withdrawn, and the Conventien pro
ceeded to make general nominations for Canal
Commissioner, when Gen. E. C. Williams, of
Danp?,Kimbcr Cleaver, of Nortlmmber
land, Daniel McCurdy, of Allegheny, and John
F. Lii'derman, of Berks, were named, but all
subsequently withdrawn except that of Mr.
Linderinan. Pending a motion to nominate
Mr. Linderinan by acclamation, a delegate
wished to know who Mr. Linderman was, as a
man- might be "a good American" and yet not
qualified to fill tho oflice. no had lived In
Berks, but never heard of Mr. L. A delegate
from Berks answered that 3Ir. Linderman had
been a member of the Legislature from Berks.
Wonder what his politics were then 7 ' Ho
was then nominated viva voce as the cindldato
for Caual Commissioner. Mr. Killiati thought
that as the dog's tail had been cut oft" tho Con
vention might as well cut of! tho head also I
Another delegate concurred, and expressed his
opinion, that his only remaining course wa2 to
secede. The motion to'make the nominations
unanimous was renewed a delegate remark
ing that it was an insult to sond them forth
without a unanimous endorsement.' Another
remarked that it was impolitic to offer such a
resolution, when the-convention was On the
point of" breaking vp in disorder'.. Finally,
however, the motion carried.
Wb skx by a communication In the Cincin
