CLEARFIELD, PA., OCT. 11, 1857.
Bisnop Potter, according to appointment
will visit CUarfield and hold service in the E
piscopal Church on the evening of the 24th
in.st. It is presumed that he will spend the
25th, being Sunday, also in the place.
THE ELECTION.
Below we giva the returns of the election in
this county, as far as heard from. By compari
son with last year's result, it will be seen that
Packer's majority is less than Buchanan's was
ia the same districts. Leonard, Independent
Democrat, who was run on a question of local
interest, so far as this county was concerned,
will probably have 400 to COO majority over
Wilcox, Democratic nominee, whilst the chan
ces are that Spyker, the other regular Demo
crat, will have but a small majority over Mat
son, Independent American Republican candi
date for the Legislature. This estimate is
based on the presumption that there will bo a
proportionate vote and result in the townships
to hear from, to those given.
We have no returns yet from the other coun
ties of the representative district.

fllO THOSE WHO WANT FARMS.
X A FARM WrnilNTllE REACH OF
EVERY MAN.
THE RIDGWAY FARM COMPANY has made ar
rangements by which all who desire to settle or
purchase a home can do so. The farms consist of
the best limestone soil ot the most superior q unlit v
for farming, in a rapidly improving pla.-e. into
whicu fin extensive emigration is now pouring.
The property is located in Elk County. Pennsylva
nia, in the midst of a thriving population of some
lO.OOo. The climate is perfectly healthy, and the
terrible plague of the west fever is unknown. It
i Iso has an abundance of the boot quality of Coal
and Iron. The price to buy it out is from t.'J to
Z'i per acre, pavable in instalments, to bo located
at the time of purchasing, or a share of 25 acres
entitling to locate the same for $:tOO, payabln S5
per month or 12J acres pavable ?lpcr month.
Discount for every sum of SI00 and under, paid in
advance, a discount of 5 per cent, will be allowed,
and lor over si 00 a discount ot 10 per cent.
In considering the advantages ol emigrating to
this locality the following are presented:
1'irst The soil is a rich limestone, capable of
raising the heaviest crops, owing to which this set
tlement has attained its present great prosperity.
feeona It is the centre ot thegreat .North V est
Coal Basin, and is destined soon to become one of
the greatest business places in the State. It will
supply the great Lake market, (according to popu
lation and travel tho greatest in the I nion.) It
has five workable vcines of the best Bituminous
Coal, amounting in the aggregate to over 22 feet,
which makes 22.000 tons ot coal under each acre.
This will make the laud of inestimable value.
Third The eminent state geologist Dr. Chas.
T. Jackson of Boston, has made a geological sur
vey of the land, and analysed the coal, the iron
ore an. I the limestone. This report together with
maps will be furnished to inquirers.
I'oiirth Three railroads are laid out through
this property. The Sunbury and Erie Railroad
gives us a market forourcoal to the Lakes it runs
lruin Erie to Pbiladelph ia. A large part of this
road has been finished, ami is now in running or
der. A heavy force is now working from Erie to
wards our lain! in the western direction, the means
for the completion of which has been raised it
will soon be finished. The Allegheny Valley Rail
road connects us with New York, Boston and Pitts
burg. The Venango Road connects us with the
West.
There arc already good Turnpike roads running
through the property, various other roads have
been opened to accommodate the emigration und
settlement which has already taken place.
There is no opportunity equal to it now offered
to fhc man who wants to provide himself a home
in an easy way. and make a settlement where he
can live in prosperity and independence iu a cli
mate PERFECTLY HEALTHY.
No ease of fever ever having been known to oc -cur
in this settlement. It is not like going to the
backwoods of the West, among perhaps intollcrant
people, where there is no society, churches, or
schools, where the price of land is high, and where
the emigrant, after being used to the healthiest,
climate in the world, has to endure sickness and
pai n. and perhaps ruins his health and that of his
family. But here is a thriving settlement having
three towns, containing churches, schools, hotels,
stores, saw mills, grist mills, and everything de
sired. There is a cash market at hand. The lum
ber trade last year amounted to over two hundred
million feet of lumber. In a short time, owing to
the coal, it will still become more valuable, as a
number of iron works and manufactories will soon
be started ; they are at present starting them ex
tensively at Varren. Even for those who do not
wish" to go there, the payments are such that they
ean easily buy a farm to save their rising families
from want in the future, or to gain a competence
by the rise which will take place in the value of
lands By an outlay scarcely missed, a substan

rpilE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, 1857-8
juc -iriuoue wai urst i"-uci as a j;.ulv on
i-iiu ui .-ipru, j-3 iieeniy cftiuon wss
commenced in September of tho same v r : i's
Seui i-Weekly in May, 1;I5. It was the lirit daily
in America to issue a double or eight-page sheet at
a low prico, and it has kept at least even with the
ioreiuosi ot its rivals m tho rapid expansion of
Is"CW!ilaPer enterprise, which thegreat extension
of Railroads, and the establishment of tie Tele
graph system bavc crowded into these last sixteen
eventful years. No larger journal is afforded at
so low a price in any quarter cf the world; none
in America, no matter at what price issued, pavs
an equal amount, weekly or monthly, for intellec
tual labor. It employs correspondents regularly
in the leading capitals of Europe, and at the moat
important points on this continent, with a libural
staff of w riters and reporters at home, regarding
full, early and accurate information as the first ob
ject of a Newspaper, and the timely and thorough
elucidation thereof as the chief end of its Edito
rials. In that spirit. '-The TriDuue" has been and
will be conducted, extending and perfecting its
correspondence so fast as the increase of its pa
tronage will justify the expense. Should the cur
rent attempt to connect the Old with the NcwWorld
by the magnetic ire prove successful. c shall ve
ry soon, at a heavy coat to ourselves and, we trust,
a corresponding advantage to our readers publish
each moruing a synopsis of the proceeding day "a
occurrences throughout Europe. Northern Africa
and Western Asia, w ith regular reports of the mar
kets, tho monetary aspects and harvest prospects
of hither Europe. With a good atlas ln-side him
and his daily paper on his fireside table, the A
merican farmer or artisan within a day's ride of
the city may then study each evening the doings
of the civilized world throughoat the day preced
ing; and it seems hardly possible that any who
can rea l, but especially one who has children to
educate, will longerdeny himself the pleasure and
profit of a daily journal. The same is true mea
surably of those who live further inland : though,
where mails are infrequent, a Semi-AYeckly, or e
ven a Weekly, may seem sufficient.
The Tribune deals w ith questions of Political
Economy, Public Policy, Ethics. Material Progress
and whatever may affect the Intellectual. Moral,
Social and Physical well bc.ng of mankind, dog
matic Theology alone excepted. Its leading idea
isthe honoring of honest useful Work in whatever
sphere or capacity, and tho consequent elevation
ol the laboring class in knowledge, virtue and
general esteem. It is necessarily hostile to Slave
ry under all its aspects, to Intemperance in what
ever form or degree with its accessories, to War
save in tho defense f Country and Lilierty against
actunl invasion, and to every form of Humbling.
Desinns to see Production extended and encour
aged, while wild Speculation and useless Traffic
are curtailed, it favors the policy of sustaining and
diversifying Home Industry by a discriminating
Tariff a policy which tends to increase the price
of Orain to the farmer while diminishing that of
Bread to the artisau. bv reducing the distance a-
cross w hich their respective products are exchang
ed and. of course, reducing the cost of tceir trans
far. Regarding Fillibuslurism in all its phases.
and every form and device of National covctous-
ncjs. with unqualified abhorrence as the bane of
Republics and iu their triumph the grave of Equal
Human Rights, we seek by every means to woo
and win the attention of our countrymen from pro
jects of aggrandizement abroad to enterprises of
developeinent and beneucence at home, torcmost
among which v.e rank a l'ailroad through the
heart of our territory to connect the waters of the
Atlantic with those of the Pacific. Believing that
the goods of this life are not yet fairly distributed,
and that co one ready to work should ever famish
in unwilling idleness, it lends an open car to eve
ry suggestion of Social improvement which docs
not countervail the dictates of eternal Morality
nor war upon that natural right of every one to
whatsoever he has fairly produced or honestly ac
quired, whose denial must sick mankind into the
chaos and night of barbarism and universal squal
or. With a profound consciousness that idlers,
drunkards, libertines and profligates can never bo
other (in the main) than needy and wretched, it
bears aloft the great truth that Prevention is bet
ter than Punishment that tbcchild trained up in
the way he should go, will rarelv in after years
des Tt that way for the thorny paths of ice and
Crime that a true Education Religious. Moral
and Industrial as well as Intellectual is the most
effective temporal antidote to the errors and woes
of our raec. Recognizing in the most degraded
specimen of Humanity a divine spark which should
be reverently cherished, not ruthlessly trodden
out. wc have charity for all forms of evil but those
which seek personal advantage through the de
basement of our fellow-beings. The champion of
no class or caste, the devotee of no sect, we would
fain be the interpreter to each other of men's bet
ter ill) pulses and aspirations, the harbinger of
general concord between Labor aud Capital, and
among those whom circumstances or misapprehen
sions haxe thrown iutn unnatural antagonism. A
cotemporary once observed that he never knew a
hard, grasping, niggardly employer who did not
hate -The Tribune nor a generous, large-soulcd,
kindly one, willing to live and let live, who did
not like it. Wc ask no higher praUe, no warmer
attestation.
The circulation of The Tribune is at this time
as follows i Daily. 32.000 copies; Weekly, 17t,,Sm)
copies; Semi-Weekly, 16.000 copies; California
and European, 6,000 copies; Total. 2o0.&00 copies.
That of the Semi-Weekly and Weekly wc believe
to be exceeded by no other newspaper published
in the world; that of the Daily falls behind that
of some of our cotemporaries. Had our hostility
to Human Slavery and the Liquor Traffic beeii
more guarded and politic, our Daily issues would
now be some thousands heavier aud our Advertis
ing far more lucrative; but of our patronage gen
erally we have no reason, no wish, to complain.
Of late, a concerted effort has been made to di
minish our rural circulation through the inuuenco
of the Postmasters, some of whom embark in it
eagerly, others under political restraint, while a
large number, wc are happy, for the sake Human
Nature, to state, refuse to be dragooned into it at
all. Still, we have been made to feel the heavy
hand of Power, and have doubtless lost thousands
of subscribers inconsequence. Pretexts to which
no individual in his private capacity would have
Ftooped have been relied on to justify the stoppage
of our papers w ithin reach of their subscribers aud
rightful owners, aud their retention in the Post
Office till their value was destroyed. Postmasters
have been schooled by rival journals several of
thein living on their self-proclainicd ability to
serve as an antidote to The Tribune as to their
political duty to promote at our expense the dis
si'tn in in.'ition of gazettes of adverse politics. We
shall outlive this warfare, but wc do not affect in
difference to it. In the open field of discussion.
wc fear nothing; but iu the tuns of thousands of
rural neighborhoods where the Posmaster can in
duce many of his quiet neighbors to take the jour
nal he recomiueuus.we have already lost some pa
trons, and expect to lose more as our subscriptions
for this year-expire. We appeal, therefore, to the
hearty, faithful, fearless advocates of Free Laltor
and Free Soil throughout the land to tako care
that this official warfare on our circulation be not
prosecuted without eouDtcraction. We employ no
travelling agents, for we will not consent to have
the public harrassed with the solicitations of stran
gers in our behalf. Wc strike the name of each
subscriber to our Weekly and Semi-Weekly frm
our books as soon as his term has expired, for we
will not haunt our patrons with duns for arrears
which they may say they never intended to incur,
fur papers which perhaps they never read ; we re
ly for the renewal of our subscriptions solely on
tho vol ur,'.'. red efforts of those who. liking our pa
per, believe its influence salutary and worthy to
be extended ; and thus far our reliance bus been
justified, as we trust it may continue to be.
