CLEARFIELD, PA., SEPT. 9, 1857.
3Ir."Wilmot's Appointments. We received
a letter on- Saturday evening from Hon. Lem
uel Todd, Chairman of the American Republi
can State Committee, stating that Judge Wil
mot found it wonld be impossible for him to
meet his appointment at Clearfield on the 23d
of this month. lie affirms that it will be be
yond his powers of endurance to travel from
Johnstown to Clearfield, and from here to Cen
tre county, in the! time allotted.' The Judge
regrets this necessity very much, but he can
iiot overrule it. '"'"."
' We' feel sorry that Mr. "W;lmot cannot be
here at the time heretofore announced. We
were sincerely desirous that the people cf this
county should hear from his own lips his views
and opinions, and it may be possible that an
opportunity will yet present itself prior to the
lection. We thought, as did many others,
that it would be almost impossible for him to
meet his appointments at all the places desig
nated in the call of the State committee, and
are, therefore, not much surprised to hear him
recall his appointment for Clearfield. We
trust the friends will make it known that no
meeting will be held at this place on the 23d,
in consequence of Mr. Wilmofa iuability to
be in attendance at that time.
a Pcckh." It is really amusing to
witness the -manner in which some of the
Democratic brethren in ' this county are wrig
gling and twisting about Packer's position on
the log question, and the efforts they are ma
king to smooth over the fact that ! he was in
favor of log-floating and instrumental in defeat
ing a, bill in the winter of 1852-3 to protect
the-raftsmen. Everybody here knows how
irulently these same men have denounced
log-floating that they have taken part in
meetings, lor the purpose of having the legis
lature pass a law to restrict floating that they
have njude load and repeated professions of
friendship to the rafting interest; and yet,
when a man, whose antecedents ar6 against
that isterest, is a candidate for an ofBce, in
the discharge of the duties of which, if elect
ed,he has in his power to frustrate legislation
on the subject, the . people of this county are
asked to forget all this and ' vote for Packer,
solely on , account of political considerations,
after being coolJy told that the log "question
is cne of conflicting local and personal inter
sts," and that nothing more should be claim
ed than the very equivocal and uncertain dec
laration from Tackerthat he "has no desire to
aoe anything but equal and exact justice done
t all parties in any manner connected with
that trade, either as raftmen or floaters."

Advices from Bogota, South America, state
that the yellow fever was committing great
ravages there. In the department of La Paz
15,000 Indians had died from that disease.
The revolution in Peru was not over. A revo

The Attorney General of the United States,
has decided against the extraordinary claims
of Mr. Haywood, the late Marshal of Utah,
more than 20,000 of which were for conveying
the Judges of the Territory to and from the
places of holding the courts. The expenses
for numerous guard-houses, wagons and pro
visions were not those of a ministerial officer.
The expenses of a Judge on the way to Couit
are decided to be his own.

The Trenton State Gazette of the 31st. Aug.
relates the particulars of a case of seduction
that occurred in Burlington, New Jersey, on
the 28th. The perpetrator of the crime
was the Rev. Wm. B. Sutherland, a clergyman
and a married man,, and the victim a young
lady of a respectable family and a member of
is church, only fifteen years of age. 1 Great
excitement was aroused amongst the people of
Burlington, when the perpetration of tho out
rage became known, and the clerical hypocrite
was obliged to flee lor life. He succeeded in
getting off. Had be been taken, so high ran
the public indignation that he would most pro
bably have been lynched. -
The Texan papers abound with statements of
Indian hostilities. The Indians had appeared
in the vicinity of San Antonio. Captain Whi
ting, of tho Second Cavalry, who went in pur
suit, re-captured all the horses and mules ta
ken from the San Diego mail train. Capt.
Pope's party had arrived, at Fort Clark all
well. The Indians had been troublesome along

Clttino Brcsu. This month is a favorable
time for this business. Some kinds of brush
and weeds are more damaged by cutting now
than at any other season of the year. .The
brush in rocky pastures should be kept close
cut every year, until it is exterminated. This
is the only effectual remedy. When kept
down the cattle browse upon the tender shoots,
and help the farmer in subduing them. If
lett to themselves they shade the land, impair
the quality or the grass, and in a few years j
take complete possession ' of the pasture.
The wild cherry is frequently found in these
grazing lands, and along the fences that in
close meadows. Care should be taken to keep
the leaves of this bush away from the cattle.
In the wilted state they are poisonous, and
it oecaaionaly happens that animals are killed i
by eating thuoj. r The poison is pruss ic acid.

KANSAS AFFAIRS. .
From the Quindaro Chindowan, of Aug. 29,
we learn that on Wednesday, the 2Cth instant,
there was a Mass and also a Delegate Conven
tion at Grasshopper Falls, to decide upon go
ing into the October election. At the Mass
Convention there were between four and five
hundred men present, and this number was
composed.of persons from every section of
Kansas The North, the South, the East, and
the West.
After considerable discussion, in which Gov.
RobinsonJ Gen. Lane," and Judge Smith, ad
vocated the "policy of Toting at the October
letion, -although it was appointed under -the
bogus laws, and James Redpath, Judge Con
way, Wm. Phillips and "Rev. Daniel Foster,
opposed voting; the following amended report
of the Business Committee was unanimously
adopted. -l . i i
Wheeeas, It is of the most vital impor
tance to the people of Kansas, that the Terri
torial Government should be controlled by
the bona fide citizens thereof," and
Whereas, Gov. Walker has repeatedly
pledged himself that the people of Kansas
shall have a full and fair vote at the election
to be held on tho first Monday in October, for
Delegates to Congress, Members ol Uie Tcrri
torial Legislature, and other officers. There-
Q ,
fore, ' v
Resolved, that we, the people of Kansas, in
Mass Convention assembled, agree to partici
pate in said election;
That in thus acting, we rely upon the faith
ful fulfillment of the pledge of Gov. Walker,
and that we, as heretofore, protest against the
enactments forced upon us by the votes of the
people of Missouri ; -
That the Mass Meeting proceed to the ap
pointment of a Committee to wait upon the
Territorial authorities, and earnestly insist
upon a revision and correction of the wicked
apportionment, endeavored to be forced upon
the people of Kansas, to govern the selections
of Members of the Terr torial Legislature;
That Gen. J. H. Lane be authorized and
empowered to tender to Gov. Walker, the
force orgauized by him under the resolution
passed bv the Convention at Topeka, on the
15th of July last, to bo used for the protection
of the ballot-box ;
That this Mass Meeting express their unal
terable determination to adhere to the Topeka
Constitution and Government, and that all our
action shall be pointed toward setting that
Government in" motion in a legitimate man
ner at an early date.
' Gov. Robinson, who favored the policy of
seizing upon the Territorial Legislature thro'
the October election, said "That this would
spike the guns at Lecompton, which, playing
into the Free State party, would wrest the
power from the bands of those who have been
and arc now depriving the people of Kansas of
their just rights. The citizens ought to choose
reliable Free State men to the Legislature,
and leave the matter in their hands, depend
ing upon them to carry out the will of the ma
jority." Nomination or a Delegate to Congress.-
Gen. J. II. Lane inquired if any delegate de
sired to present to the Convention the name
of any candidate except Mr. Parrot. No oth
er name being offered, Hon. Marcus J. Parrot,
of Leavenwarth, was nominated by acclama
tion as Delegate to Congress. The nomina
tion was received with three cheers, amidst
great enthusiasm.
- Of the nominee, the Chintlownn says: Mr.
Parrot acted with the Democracy in Ohio, but
when he became acquainted with their acts
and policy here, he abandoned a party that re
tained nothing that was democratic save the
name, and took sides with the people who had
been wronged and outraged.
A Novel Spkcklation. Mr. R. C. Jennyes,
a lawyer in Troy, who his long rejoiced in the
most ample and luxuriant of locks hanging
gracefully over a wide and easy collar, was, on
Wednesday, shorn of his hirsute glory by a
committee of citizens, .who had purchased of
him the right to do so by paying him the round
sum of one hundred dollars. The hair was re
moved, by a ferocious looking barber, with i
pair of shears three feet long ; a supernumer
ary lifted each separate lock with a pitch fork
and laid them on the plates ; while a negro
with a banjo played the dead march. And the
lawyer arose,- pocketed his $100, and Went
forth cropped. It was a good speculation for
him. ...
Freb Passes. A fireman on the New York
Central Railroad asked the Superintendent for
a pass, which he declined to give, saying:
"The Company employ you and pay j-ou so
much for your services, and there our trade
ends. If you were at work for a farmer for
dollar a day, and wanted to go to Saratoga,
would you expect him to hitch up his team
and take you there for nothing ?" The fire
man answered : "No, sir ; but if be had his
team hitched up and was going directly to
Saratoga, I would think he was a mean hog if
he didn't let me ride."
Born to be Hanged. It appears from a re
port which is in circulation that it ts very un
pleasant to be born in a certain house in Ches
ter county, Penn. Since the year 1794 tbero
have been five executions for capital offences
in the county. Edward Williams who was
hanged in 1830, and George Pharo, who was
executed in 1851, were both born in a house
which stands about & mile from West Chester,
Ingram, who was recently hanged in Illinois
for the murder of his wife, also, first saw light
in this same unlucky house. : - ;

Atlantic Telegraph Cable. The Isew
York Timet says i "we publish this morning
a great variety of interesting matter relating
to the deplorable accident to the Atlantic
Telegraph Cable. From these accounts, and
from the letter of an intelligent correspondent
on board the steamer Niagara, it would appear
that the expedition must have fniled, even
though the cable had not parted when it did.
Though the chief engineer tor laying down the
the cable, Mr. Bright, has given bis certificate
exonerating all persons on board the Niagara
from all blame for the melancholy mishap, yet
there has not satisfactory roason been given
for the immediate act which led to the parting
of the wire. It seems that the" cable had
several times slipped off the "controller,"
and became jammed, by which its safety was
imperiled, owing to the impeilection oi tue
machinery for payine it ont. But, even
though it had been suffered to run freely and
no accident had beJalien it, the chances
were all against its reaching its Western ter
minus, in concequence of the cable being too
short. There was a surplus of about six hun
dred miles, but at least a thousand miles were
needed. Sufficient allowance had not been
made lor sweepine away the cable by under
currents. Alter all. it mav have been mosi
fortunate that the ships did not proceed fur
ther. To have laid the cable nearly me
wholo distance, and then to have been com
pelled to let it slip because it was not long
enough, would have been a much greater ca
lamity than that which has retarded the com
pletion of this great work. They now know
what the perils are which must be guarded
against, and the experience ol the first experi
mental trip will give them almost surety of
success, when thev make another trial. It is
not vet known whether another attempt win
be made this year. But, as there is usually a
long spell of fine weather immediately after
the equinoctial gales, we should suppose that
it would be less costlv to make the attempt to
lay the cable the present season than to uncoil
it aud send it ashore.
Mr. BicnASAn's Appeal to God. Mr. Bu
chanan's unction in behalf of the laws of Kan
sas, as displayed in his letter to Prolessor Sil
Iimau and others, reminds one of the fervor
with which Phillip II. swore to maintain the
power ol the Inquisition, at Yalladolid, in
Seated in his chair, with Ins sword in
his hand, the Kinc listened to the following
oath, which was recited by tbo Inquisitor
General, Yaldcx : "Your Majesty swears by
the cross of the sword, whereon your royal
hand reposes, that you will give all necessary
favor to the Holy Ouico ol the inquisition
azainst heretics, apostates, and those who
favor them, and will denounce ana iniorm
against all those who, to your knowledge,
shall act or speak against the faith." The
1VI 11 & ) 1VUA wuuva-.uy
Then they burned thirteen persons alive, by
wav of ratifying the oath.
Mr. Buchanan, with equal fervor, asks the
aid of God to enable him to inlorce the laws
of Kansas, which his own Secretary of State
declared, iu the Senate lat year, to be infa
mous, a disgrace to the country and the age,
and which were enacted by invaders tf the
Territory, and not by its people. It is some
thing very like injustic to Phillip II. and his
associates to bring them into a comparison
with the President and his advisers : for the
formerjwere fanatics, who really believed they
were doing the work of heaven, whereas our
sovereign and his inquisition have no faith in
their own doctrines. Then the world has made
immense progress since the sixteenth century,
and the Kansas code would have reflected dis
honor on that time, and the Inquisition itself.
We believe that ours is the only country in
which such a code could be blasphemously
upheld by the chief of the nation. Even
King Boroba would be ashamed to call on God
to help him do the infamous work that he
finds ncccsrary to the maintenance of his au
thority. ; But he is a decent, tyrant, bad as he
is, and at least affects a regard for religion

Hypocrisy Unveiled. the boldest piece
of Hvpocrisy wluch has yet come to pass,
says the Reading Prets, is about being played
on the National Native Americans, by the
Packer newspapers. They are now check lv-
jowl, but a more discordant set of fellows were
never rocked in the same cradle. The Packer
papers are as smooth, as easy, and ascourteus
to the Native Americans, going lor llazelhurst,
as a soaped pig s tail on a race. Thev admin
ister.'soft soap' largcly,and urge them forward
by pattingjthciu soiuy on the back, let it is
plain to every body, that like the Anaconda,
the Packer papers, are merely smoothing them
over, with their peculiar glandular secretions,
preparatory to swallowing them horns and
hoofs. Now it is notorious, that when the
American party was strong, and tliey were
afraid. of it when the plunder was endangered
by the power and popularity of "Sam," that
these same papers denounced the Americans as
enemies of civil and religious liberty, pirates,
adherents of the dark lantern order, and every
effort that was foul and despicable, was freely
applied, to tne Americans, who are now so
high iu tavor with the vcrv same Democracy.
There is pure and unadulterated hypocricy
for you. It is worthy f the rotten cause ;
we onlv wonder that Americans will suffer
themselves to bo the tools ol a party which
is the worst enemy to Americanism we have
to contend against. How long will they stand
it? Look out for the cunning hypocrites !

command of that tyrant, arrested and impris
oned several ot the r rco btate leaders in Kan
sas, upon a ridiculous charge of treason. ' Af
ter keeping these men prisoners for several
months, so great and overwhelming was the
pressure of public opinion, Pierce was forced
to abandon his purpose of trying them, and a
nolle prosequi w as entered in their several
cases. ;
But under the mild and gentle reiarn ef peace.

cially in the Territory of Kansas, was to gild
that administration with glory, lo ! and behold !
Dr. Robinson is arrested, and tried before Cato,
(not the censor,) upon a charge of usurpation
oi tne oince ot uovernorortlie state of Kansas
Robinson has been long known as thhead and
front of the r ree btate party, and wasm of
Tierce's treason prisoners.. It was not enongh
that be was persecuted and imprisoned under
the rule of Franklin I. Mr. Buchanan most
now push matters still further: He uses his
power so as to endeavor to produce doubt, dis-
may, ana nagging courseis among the Free
State men. If Robinson had been convicted
he would have been subjected to an imprison-
menioi at ieist a year s duration. Ilia nartv
would in the meantime have been deprived ut
cis services.
This trial of Governor Robinson is but a part
of that diplomatic, cunning system of arrange-
menu wnicn ne ana w alter nave made, to per
secute the Free State men,' sncakingly, skulk-
ingiy, witnout any exercise of force, into sub
mission. The tax decision of Cato the be-
leagurment of Lawrence the arrest of Free
State m,en at Franklin, and the trial of Robin
son are all nin-noints markinc various posi
tions upoa their chart of action. PhiVa Times.
