This Demo cratic paper some weeks since charged Mr. Wilmot witii advocating what it termed "the monstrous doctrines of abolitionism." We . uKed it to substantiate its allegations. In the last issue of that sheet we find an article -which is evidently designed to serve the pur pose f proof; but which is really little else than a rcLash of stale arguments and absurd conjectures. The editor is a lawyer, and ought to know, if he does not, that he is of-f-'rliip no evidence at all that his own asser tions, suppositious and strained inferences can not be taken as proof against a person against whom he makes a charge. What we want is, that ha shall produce anything that Mr. Wil mot has ever written or .spoken, in which he advocates any such views as the editor of the Republican alleges he does. That is the proper way to substantiate the charge, if there is any trut'ii in it. We asked for proof, and after ta king two weeks to respond, the editor of the .Republican makes the most pitiable effort at vindicating his position, we have ever wit nessed, after sneeringly alluding to a quoted phrare of ours, as being "classical." We have remarked before, and say again that Mr. Wil mot is opposed to the extension of Slavery in to the Territories ; but that h" desires to in terfere with the Institutions oi" sistvr States, is untrue, and if the "classical, " dignified and refined editor of the Democratic organ had a proper respect for candor, he would not mis represent Mr. Wilmot in tbii matter. If we had heretofore cause lor deeming our neighbor funny, we have more since reading bis last effort. By some strange fancy or oth er, the editor of the Republican seems to im agine himself a representative of chivalry perhaps another Don Quixotte in full armor and ready for a tilt. After talking about throwing down the "gauntlet" and "breaking a friendly lance," he mounts his Rozinante, rushes upon us like a true knig!:t, and makes a uc.-perate thrust at us with an article about as locg as the famous Don's lance, asserting that the Republican party hold that "Congress " has the right to legislate for the territories on the subject of slavery, which," the editor continues, mero preface to the claims that she has also the right to legislate on " thit subject wherever it exists whether in states or territories, the one being as rational " and as constitutional as the other." In the name of the prophet figs. How could any ease man ever think of drawing such a con clusion ? As a.i argument it is simply absurd and ridiculous ; but when set forth, as design ed, for evidence to substantiate the astute and classical" editor's allegations against Mr. Wilmot, it is most supremely preposterous, and we Lave the charity to believe that our neighbor was only testing the credulity of his readers. Another important link in the chain of evi dence adducad by the editor of the Republican to prove his charge against Mr. Wilmot and his party is, that he is "compelled to judge liini and them by the company they keep." Because some fanatic ma happen to act with the party that Mr. Wilmot represents, does that argue that Mr. W. entertains the ultra rations of the cthei ? We think not. We luignt ms reasonably conclude that if a man was born in a t table, be must necessarily be a horse or an ass. And if there is any force in our neighbor's argument, he and his party must bo the advocates cf slavery aud iKilygamy, 'if we judge him and them by the company ihey keep." The only difference in the two cases being, that the "peculiar institutions" named may perhaps be congenial to the "clas-juiwal- editor's taste and conic up to his exalt ed ideas of dignity and refinement, whereas that which he would force upon us we disclaim altogether. Tfce whole force of the Republican's article, argument and proof may be summed up thus : The "classical" editor makes a charge against Ir. Wilmot. The "classical" editor has de clared it to be true, and declares so yet. Now, because the "classical" editor hath so said, and rayeth so yet, therefore, he, the "classi cal" editor declares his charge proven. AVoc- dcrfu'ly astute and ingenious man ! If thy genius is not nipped in the bud, thy brow may yet be crowned with a wreath of thistles ! We had almost forgotten in our admiration of his profound logic, that the editor of the Republican finds fault with Mr. Wilmot for not coming to Clearfield, and says he was on that account "iomcwhat non-plussed." Now, it was certainly wrong for Mr. Wilmot to dis appoint tho editor of the Republican, who, it teems, had -set l)is heart upon having him say things jut to ,b :it his case. The non-appear-ance, we suppose, Is owing to the fact that Mr. Wilnit. i ats for himself, and is not, like Gen Packer, subject to the order of a committee. Wejreally pity the editor for being disappoint ed, but shall nevertheless insist upon him pro ducing the evidence heretofore demanded. CtJtcufSATi Morals are bad way. The Gazette, wt Wednesday, rej the attempted anfeide of a steamboat clerk on account of love ; the shooting of a negro by another, from jealousy; the killing oi two negro women; the knocking Jown .and robbery of a farmer on the prbiic streets ; the arrest of two cattle rhieves;the attempt to murder an Italian by m Jnafl.-H" ; .: ' numberless robberies. SUMMARY OF NEWS. On September 28th, a considerable number of five hundred dollar notes upon the Black- stone, Suffolk Shoe and Leather, Brighton and Market Banks, were in circulation, in Boston, with forged signatures ; their appearauce has add'.'d to the excitement, and the police are- keeping a close watch upon those who attempt to pass them. The mail from El Paso brings dates to the 2-3tli September. The Indian campaign was ended. In two engagements the Iudians were badly beaten. About 900 were encamped at Janos, near the Mexican boundary, and were receiving rations from Chihuahua. There had been fine rains, and the wheat and corn crops were so abundant as to be almost a drug. Companies C and M of the fourth Artillery, under Col. Bc.uton, from Florida, had arrived at New Orleans en route for Kansas. llavanna dates of September 23, state that several cargoes of slaves have been landed on the north side of the Island. Two Spanish s'avers have been seized, and several parties implicated have been arrested and imprised by order of the Captain General. The barque R. II. Knight, with the murder ers of the crew of the brig Albion Cooper,vho were p'eked up at sea and taken into Havana, arrived at Portland on the 29th Sept. The lad who was the only witness, died of vellow fe ver, on the passage. A Bank at Janesville, AVisconsin, had been paying out notes of the Hariford Bank of Con necticut, to the farmers, who learning that that Bank had suspended, demanded an exchange of money. The Bank refused, and the farm ers attacked it,broke in the windows and doors, and rushed in, only to find the officers of the bank had disappeared, carrying the contents of the vaults with them. It is stated that the Commissioner of Pa tents is sending out circulars, with the view of ascertaining the amount and cost of cotton consumed in the United States during the fis cal year ending the 20th of June last, and the qualities and value of the different classes of goods into which it is manufactured. borne members of the Cabinet, at Washing ton, who admitted that the law does not re quire the payment of a tax as a condition to voting, in Kansas, ridicule the idea that Gov. Walker has power over the judges of election, who will reject whatever votes they please. A letter received, dated Fort Kearney, Sep tember 5, states that two companies of troops arrived there on that day, en route to Salt Lake, and that the 5th and 10th Regiments had reached Fort Larimie. Colonel Hoffman had seized 500 kegs of gunpowder in a Mormon train. Returning Californians state that the Mor mons were making preparations for afight,and did not conceal their hostile movements. El der Kimball, in a sermon that he delivered In the Tabernacle at Salt Lake, said that he could with his wives whip the 2,500 troops, and af terwards do a good days work on his farm in the aflernoon. He further remarked that the provisions for the army would reach the Val ley, but that the troops would nover enter Salt Lake City. Applications for the redemption of a large amount of United States-stocks are steadily on the increase at the Treasury department. The whole number of warrauts issued from the Pension office during September, under the Bounty Land Act of March 3, lS5-. was 1,026, to satisfy which, nearly 21-3,000 acres are necessary. The names of fifty-five thousand and ninety pensioners for revolutionary services have been placed on the rolls since March, 1818, but on the SOth of June last, only three hun dred and forty-six of this number were report ed living.' The Secretary of the Treasury on appeal has decided tl.at 19 and not 21 percent should be charged as the duty on twilled fabrics, such as printed and dyed merinos of worsted and cotton amelines of worsted, printed cobotirgs, and rainbow-printed worsted and cotton twills. The entire amount of treasury notes out standing is only $108,000 worth. Cuf.eri.ng News. From all parts of the State we have the most cheering accounts of Judge Wilmot's prospects. Ilazlchurst has given up the campaign in disgust. Bucher Swoopc has deserted the battle-ground which is Philadelphia and has come back to Clear Gcld county to try and create a split among the Americans and Republicans here, not be ing able to do so elsewhere as he expected. The Packer organs in Philadelphia, are scared and are urging the Straight-out men to stick to their integrity. And more than all, wherever Judge Wilmot has made his appear ance, he has won hosts of friends. All these are straws showing which way the political breeze is blowing, aud we trust our friends in this county will be up and doing on the day of election. Tub way met work.

In this county, the tools of the Democratic politicians are trying to make it appear that he is not an American. Such double-faced- ness requires no comment. The Mosket Snow of Sanderson & Co. is this week, we understand, exhibiting in Clear field county, trying to gull Americans into the support of Isaac Uazleburst, the sham candi date for Governor, thereby aiding Packer.

Purchasers, we think, should be careful or mey mjgut get a "tkunk" instead of a baboon, LETTER FB.0M HOS. DAVID WILMOT. From the Plultilelphui North American. Wc have been furnished with the annexed copy of a very interesting letter, addressed by the Hon. David Wilmot, to our esteemed fellow-citizen, David S. Brown, Esq. Mr. B. is not a politician, and never has been. His position at the head of one of the very largest domestic jobbing houses in the country, has given him an interest in the prosperity of A merican manufactures equal to that which he necessarily has in the trade and commerce of Philadelphia. To such men the policy of tar iffs for protection, as well as for revenue, is of course a great study, and it is in this way only that Mr. Brown is connected with politics. The letter Mr. Wilmot has addressed to him is upon that topic, just now an absorbing one, and it is truly a pertinent missive. The calamitous visitation under which the mercantile and manufacturing interests of our city are now suffering is the result of a false and ruinous tarilf policy. Mr. Wilmot has been freely charged with being a Free-Trader. However his previous course may have been, there can no longer be any doubt, after his clear and decisive letter, that he is true to tho industry of Pennsylvania. As the State elec tion is close at hand, and tho freemen of the Commonwealth owe it to themselves to give a decided expression of opinion at the ballot boxes respecting that anti-American policy of Free Trade, which perpetually drains the coun try of its specie to pay for enormous foreign imports, Mr. Wilmot's position is of much im portance. We ask for his letter an attentive perusal. Harrisbi hg, Sept. 28, 1857. David S. Baowx Dear Sir : I am deeply pained by the news that reaches me from your city. Tills sudden financial revulsion threat ens to carry down hundreds of your worthy and enterprising merchants ami business men, bringing distress to their homes of comfort aud affluence ; and what by many is felt as a greater calamity, commercial dishonor and loss of credit. Its most disastrous and painful ef fects, however, will fall upon the thousands of lionet and industrous workingmen, unexpect edly thrown out ol employment and deprived of the means of support for their families. It is truly a calamity calculated to excite the sympathy ol the most selfish and insensible. I do not profess to be able to fathom all the causes, proximate and remote, of a disaster such as is now upon us. Doubtless excessive importations, overtrading, extravagent habits of living, and fluctuations in the currency have had much to do with it. You will recollect that, on our visit to the Gloucester mills, we had some conversation u pou the subject ol the tarid policy of the coun try hi connection with its influence upon A merican enterprise and labor. The events of the last few days have given to that subject an interest it did r t then seem to possess. That the tari.1 policy or the government has much to do w ith the revulsions that periodically con vulse this country, is doubtless true, intimate ly connected as liat policy must ever be with ail our financial and industrial interests. The very considerable reduction made in the taritr, at the last session of Congress, must have had a disastrous influence in bringing upon us the present state of things, as it greatly stimula ted importations, caaiug heavier drafts upon the country for its precious metals. It is a great mis''ntur c that our tari.'fiolicv cannot b.j wholly removed from the party con flicts of the country and placed upon a perma nent and reasonable basis. Aside from parti san prejudice, there is not, I imagine, a very wide difference of opinion upon this subject among intelligent and reflecting men. The policy of imposin? prohibitory duties. of actually destroying tho revenue upon a large share ol ttie articles of commerce, for the purpose of protection, would hardly find an advocate at this day. Fair incidental pro tection, without a gross violation of the reven ue principle, is all that is asked or required for our manufacturing interests, and this should be cheerfully and promptly extended. No one contemplates the policy of free trade and a re sort io direct taxation as a hicans of rais;' ? revenue to meet the ordinary expenses of tne Government certain it is that 1 never con templated such a policy. I have always looked to our policy as settled in this respect that tho ordinary revenue is to bv provided by duties upon foreign importations, and I have ever favored the policy of such discriminations as would atiord adequate and ample protection to American interests and American labor. We have an immense revenue to raise. Al ready the expenditures of our Government reach the enormous sum of about sixty -millions of dollars, and it is rapidly increasing under the profligate and demoralizing extieu- duures of Democratic Administrations. In raising this vast sum there is ample room, bv judicious and proper discriminations, to nflord to our great industrial interest ample protec tion aud to American labor just and ade quate reward. I have never intentionally vio lated this sound American policy, and would cheerfully unite to-day, with the reasonable and judicious meu of the country, in placing our tarilf policy on a basis that would secure to American enterprise and labor a fair and just measure of protection. The great struggle in which we are now en gaged, and in which my feelings are so deeply embarked, is a struggle to maintain the digni ty and rights of lree labor against tho degrad ing competition of the labor of the slave ; and I am equally in favor of protecting our Amer ican labor against a ruinous competition with the cheap labor of the olw world. I confidently trust that you will weather this storm, and that years of prosperity will attend you in the nebla enterprise you have thus Tar successfully sustained. . Very respectfully, your obedient servant and friend. ij. AVilmot. Outrage on an American Vessel. A cor respondent of the Panama Star and Jlenil'l, writing from Callao under date of August 12, says: "On Saturday last an armed boat was sent on board tho American ship John Milton, by order of the captain of the port, aud forci bly took out three of the crew and brought them on shore ; and again on the same day, by tho same authority, lour others were taken from the Morning Glory, assigning no other reason than that of might. The commanders of these ships have laid their case before Mr. Clay, our Minister. lie has" demanded that the men be placed on board their ship again, and an apology made for the insult to our flag." A SiostiFiCAXT Fact Siuce Ilazlchurst & Co. have abandoned the canvass, especially in Philadelphia, the Democratic papers of that city, satisfied that unless the Straight-outs would stick to their ticket that the game' was up with them, are urging the Americans to be true to their integrity and not to desert their pest in the present emergency. AVhat does this mean? 'But it's no go Wilmot will be Governor at all events. GEN. PACKER AND LCG-FL0ATING. AArhcn a man is a candidate lor an important office, it is but right that the "People should know what his views are on such subjects as Hllect their interests. The following letter, copied from the Clearfield Republican, of Fcb iiiary 1, 1853, will show how General Packer then stood on the "Log question :" IIarrisuurg, Jan. 26, 1853. Gkxti.emen : Your favor of the 13th instant enclosing a copy of a resolution adopted by the citizens ot Morris township, in Clearfield county, tendering to me the thanks of the in habitants f that township for the part which 1 took in the Senate at its last session, in 1)K FEjiTIXU the bill to PROHIBIT the floating of logs iii the Jloshannoii, and o'lier tributaries of the Susquehanna, reached me at this place a few days since. The deep intei est which very many of my constituents had in the question, made it my duty to oppose the bill to which you refer with spirit and energy. This J did ten A the more readiness and zeal, as the pre pos ed PROHIBITION MET WITH MY OWN LOLj9L1F1EU DISAPPROBATION. 1 1 thought the bill which passed the House ol" Representatives irrowsr in every point. Wrong, if no expenditures had been mat'.e in the EREC TION of BOOMS in the lirer.for the ACCOM MODATION of the FLOATING BUSINESS ; but especially so, in view i the large invest ments f capital which had been made at Wil liamsport, Lock-Haven and elsewhere in the construction oi booms, the erection of steam saw mills &c, dependent entirely on that bu siness, as then fully recognized and establish ed by law. The Senate was of the same opin ion, and the bill was defeated by a single vote. Nor can I believe that the bill now before the Legislature will meet with any better success. Tendering to the citizens of Morris town ship, my sincere acknowledgments for the kind notice which it has pleased them to take of my humble ellorts in the Senate; and to you gentlemen, my profound regaid. I remain, vours, faithfully, AVM. V. PACKER. To Jas. Ailport and S. C.-Tlfompson. The language here used by Mr. Packer is so plainly in furor of log-foaling, th tt it Is al most needless to comment upon it- One thing is, however, worthy of special note. Alter acknowledging in litis letter that he did take part in "defeating a bill to prohibit the floating of logs in the Moshannon and other tributaries of the Susquehanna," he proceeds to argue the merits of the bill, and comes to the conclu sion that it is "wrong in every point!" Nor docs he assume that it is "wrong'' only be cause of conflicting personal interests, but that it is "WRONG if NO expeniUnrcs ha,l been wade in the erection of booms in the river FOR THE ACCOMMODATION of the FLOAT ING business .'" and, therefore, and because it viet u ifh his oicn "unqualified disapprobation," he aided in defeating the bill. Here, then, Mr. Packer asserts that log-floating is tight, and that to prohibit floating is wrong ! To show how Mr. Packer's action at that time was regarded by the p ;ople of Clearfield and Centre, it is only necessary to refer to the proceedings of a Meeting held in Rush town ship, Centre county, which was largely attend ed ly men ol all parties. Among the resolu tions adapted at that meeting, aud which are published in the Clearfield Republican of Octo ber 13, 1833, was the following : "Resolved, That we will vote our thanks to both Houses of the next 'session, if they will pass an act to compel Bill F. Packer, and John Beck, to stay at home, mind their own busi ness, and not annoy the legislature all winter long, as borers." At present Mr. Packer is trying to carry water on Loth shoulders," or rather, perhaps, logs on one shoulder, and rafts on the other, as would appear by the following extract from an article in the L ck Haven Watchman, of Sept. 4th. 1S37 : "It is an incontroverfable fact, that General Pack-.i has always been, or at least pretended U, Have been, the firm friend and supporter of the log-floating system on the West branch of the Susquehanna. This none of his warmest friends will deny. . In fact, we have heard his friends claim him as being the "lather of log floating ;" that he did, no more than 2 months ago, approach one of our extensive log-floaters, and assure him that, if elected Governor he would aid them to the extent of his ability in keeping the River open to the floating of loose saw logs. It is also a fact, that two weeks after making this assertion to a log merchant, in a conversation with some square timber merchants from Clearfield county ,when questioned upon the same subject, he asserted that he had chavg.nl his former notions, in le gard to the justum of log-floating, and if c lectcd Governor, he would aid the timber men of Clearfield county in having the "nuisance" .abated in the West branch of the Susquehan na river. These are incontroverfable facts, which we defy successful contradiction." This shows that he is 'all things to all men.' In order to secure votes, he makes premises to both parties. lie is "fish or fowl," as the occasion may require, aud it is fair to presume that he is a fishy candidate ho is rather loo slippery. Can such a man, who gives pledges to the Log-floaters as . freely as to others, be trusted by tho people of Clearfield County? Let tl em answer for themselves. The pros pects for passing a bill next w inter to prohibit floating are good, but ir Packer is elected, there is every reason to believe he will frus trate legislation on the subject. The anxiety of the Locofoco party and the solicitude of their papers for the welfare of tho Straight American although exciting in alL true friends of the cause feelings of disgust are nevertheless amusing. When men see tho Pennsylvanian, one of the leading organsof the l'ro-Slavery Democracy, steppiug into the breach and urgi.ng Americans not to abandon their principles, a broad 1 ingh is a "sine qua won" to the exhibition. . Such bare-faced hy pocrisy and double-dealing to accomplish their own purposes, require neither reasons to prove nor comments to expose them. They are sell eviient. The purposes arc so palpable, that wore the Pennsylvania and every other Loco foco paper in the State that publishes lauda tory articles in regard to the "Straigh's" and their candidates, to head each article witii 'the true motive, (wo have an axe to grind,") their object could not be more apparent. AVe see that lately the country papers in the service of the Locofoco party have almost a bandouod advocating the cause of Packer, and taking the cue from tho I'euuxijlvanian, are every where showing their respect for Mr. Ila zlehurst and tho Straight Americans, thereby hoping to divert strength from David Wilmot but it wont do, the trick is too bald and bung ling. It illustrates the secret assassin who ostensibly.cxtends bis hand to save but at the same time quetly gives the death blow which consigns the victim to the grave. BBIB1NO THE PEESS. The Chairman of the Straight American Scute Committee, recently published a state ment, which has since beeu extensively copi ed, furnishing a list of newspapers in Pennsyl vania alledged to have been bought over by Lieut. Governor Ford, of Ohio, t. support Fremont in the last campaign, and adding that the information was originally derived from Ford himself. Among the pajers in this list was the Altoona Tribune. Messrs McCrum c Allison, the publishers of thar Journal, have addressed a letter to Lieut. Governor Ford, calling his attention to Swope's statement, and asking him specifically whether the alle gations were true respecting the .Tribune. In answer, Mr. Ford writes from .M.m-ticM. Ohio, under date ot September 21th, saying that he was not t: e the author of any list of subsidiz ed papers in Pennsylvania; that he never paid money to either Mr. McCrum or Allison, du ring the Fremont or any other campaign ; that he never paid money to any other person tor them, and further denouncing the whole of Swope's publication as false. Another paper, the "Adams Sentinel," published at Gettys burg, which was upon the same list, has taken up the cudgels against Swope and his endor sers. The editor of the Sentinel pi enounces tho charge that the paper received a"bribe of $300, "a base, infamous falsehood, without even the semblance of a foundation, and its authors unprincipled and maliiirfiit li boilers.'" He adds that he s'ands ready to substantiate this, and that to do so he has prosecuted the editor of the paper w hich first published the statement, and that he will follow up the movement with a similar overhauling of the other parties concerned in it. The American Republican Union Convention of Adams county, which recently assembled at Gettysburg to nominate an opposition ticket' deemed the matter of sufficient importance to adopt a preamble and resolution denouncing Swope's charge as a base and malignant libel, without the least shadow of foundation, en dorsing the high character of the editor of the Sentinel, and saying, that during near half a century of editorial life he has com manded the confidence and respect of his fel low citizens. AVe know nothing of this mat ter, and attached no importance to it, but we are glad to find the editors cf the newspapers in the interior vindicating their character in so clear and unniistakeable a manner. Lieut. Governor Ford's denial is explicit enough to clear all ot them, but as that has b--en disput ed, the legal test proposed by the editor of the Sentinel will show what ground there is for the statement.
