CLEARFIELD, PA., OCT. 23,1857.
WHAT THE TIMES DEMAND.
Every candid man, if be inquires critically
into the canses which lie at the bottom of our
present financial troubles, and the deplorable
condition of all branches of business, mustac-
' knowledge that those difficulties spring prima
rily from the existing tariff, which is utterly
inadequate to protect the industrial interests
of our country. So apparent is this truth,
that Mr. Buchanan himself, we see it stated
somewhere, attributes the distress in part to
the redaction that was made in the tariff da
ring last winter. Over-trading, excessive im
portations, a consequent drain of gold from
our country, and, finally, monetary and busi
ness embarrassments, are all in their turn at
tributable mainly to a lack of proper protec
tion to our manufacturers. This is too plain
to require special argument. Every one can
see that if our wholesale dealers can buy goods
" abroad and import them much lower than they
can purchase them at home, they will do so.;
and this has been done during the past eight
or ten years, under the operations of a low
tariff.
The principle of Protection to American
Industry, which was one of the cardinal and
cherished doctrines of the old Whig party,
has of late years been too much lost sight of.
The extraordinary issues that have recently
agitated the public mind the cry of political
speculators and charlatans that the tariff ques
tion was an obsolete idea ; abundant harvests,
the great influx of gold from California, and
other fortuitous circumstances, all tended to
withdraw attention from it, and blind our peo
ple to the real condition of affairs. They did
not believe that all this appearance of wealth
and prosperity, was a chimera and a delusion.
The late crisis, however the bteaking of
banks and heavy business men, and the sweep
ing away of immense fortunes, like the driven
8now under the rays of the noon-day sun
has forced the conviction upon them that we
have been standing upon a fictitious basis, and
that no auspicious circumstances could longer
avert the disasters which will inevitably lollow
the violation of the great principle of Protec
tion. Our closed factories, the paralyzed state
of every branch of business, the thousands of
men and women out of employment, and the
distress and suffering that are showing them
selves in many places, all bear witness to this
sad truth, and speak out unmistakcably that
what the times require, is Protection to Ameri
can Industry. This is a principle for which
we have always contended, and the necessity
for which we believe is greater now than ever.
Thk Ultimate Object. Little dmbt can be
longer entertained that the ultimate object of
the so-called "side-door" leaders is, to carry
the "Straight Americans" over to the Free
Trade, Molly Maguire, Slave Democracy. An
article in the Philadelphia Press, of the 22d
inst., shows which "way the cat jumps." In
speaking on the subject, that paper says :
"We need not take into consideration the
vote thrown for Mr. Ilazlehurst, because it is
manifest that if the Democratic party is true
to itself, all this rote will henceforward be en
rolled under our banner. Every citizen who
voted for Mr. Hazlchurst had more or less con
fidence in the Democratic party. Those who
still call themselves Americans must see that
Americanism has become an obsolete idea."
That is what John W. Forney, that arch po
litical trickster, and editor of the Press, says,
and he knows ! How we ask our American
friends, are yon thus to be conveyed, body
and sonl, without "benefit of clergy," to the
Democratic party ? Will you allow yourselves
to be made a chattel of, and sold wholesale, by
a few political scoundrels? We trust not
we believe not. We think, row that the mask
is being thrown off, that all true Americans
will array themselves on the side of those who
are battling for Protection to American Labor,
and against Political Romanism and Slavery
Aggression.
The Orricuu. Retcrxs of the election in
Pennsylvania, which will be found in another
colnmn, show that Packer's majority over Wil
mot is 42,751 over Wilmot and Ilazlehurst
14,619. The aggregate vote for President last
fall was 460,176; this fall it is S63,15j a fall
ing of 97,021. The "straight" Fillmore vote
last fall was;26,33S Ilazlehurst has 28,132.
Quite a number of Locofocos voted for him.
"Straightoutisni" has about run its race it is
clean out of market, and will have to suspend.
Thk Clearfield Republican still persists in
Calling Mr. Wilmot an "abolitionist," but fails
to produce a single sentence that Mr. W. has
ever spoken or written to establish its charge.
Come, trot out the proof, or act the man and
acknowledge you are lying under a mistake.
Ohio had all been officialy heard from at
Columbus last Friday but eleven Counties,
and Gov. Chase's majority was 2,076. The
corrections made by the Official Returns are
generally in his favor, so that his fall official
majority is probably over 2,100. The Legis
lature is Democratic in both branches.
Iowa. Returns from 59 counties, give
Lowe, Republican, about 3000 majority for
Governor. The remaining 18 counties are
small and cannot vary the result. The Repub
licans have working majorities in both
branches of the Legislature, which secures
them a J, S, Senator.
THE ASSEMBLY QUESTION.
In another column will be found the official
vote for Representatives, in this district. The
result, wo are free to say, is not what every
sincere friend of the interests of Clearfield
county should desire ; and when we reflect on
the means and arguments used in this county to
bring about such a result, we are forced to the
belief that a large proportion of people, gen
erally speaking, can be easily blinded by the
glare and glitter of "a little brief authority,"
and supposed honor.
When Judge Leonard was announced as the
anti-log candidate for Assembly, a large ma
jority of the voters of this county were in his
tavor, and would have voted for him, if they
had been left to a free exercise of their opin
ions. For ourselves, we were willing to lay
aside political preferences in this instance, go
for the interests of our county, and practice
what we professed ; but our motives were im
pugned, our sincerity doubted, and our ac
tious misrepresented, by the dictators of the
Democratic party. Notwithstanding this, we
remained passive, having entire confidence in
the honesty of purpose of our citizens. We
yet believe we were correct in our impressions,
and that the masses would have stood up for
their local interests, had not false reports
and false issues, to suit different precincts,
been raised, and the party lash applied to and
by aspirants ; had not individuals been asked
as "a personal favor" to act against their ex-
pressed feelings ; and had they not been im
plored to "stick to the ticket,' for fear of in
juring Gov. Bigler's popularity t We wish to
be understood as speaking with all due defer
ence of that gentleman, yet we should like to
know what Senator Bigler has ever done, as a
public roan, for Clearfield county, that her cit
izens should sacrifice their most vital interests
to preserve an appearance of political influ
ence for him 1m He was in the State Senate,
and has occupied ether positions in which he
might have done much towards protecting our
raftsmen, and did be do anything 1 And yet,
as said before, the people of Clearfield were
asked to sacrifice their own interests, yea.
their very bread and butter, to keep up his
show of popularity ! We are glad to be able
to say that many disregarded the tics of par
ty, and that a majority, though small it is, con
sidered the Honorable gentleman's "popular!
ty" ol less importance than the protection and
preservation of that business, upon which our
people are mainly dependent.
THE KANSAS ELECTION.
It is now ascertained beyond a doubt that
the grossest frauds have been practiced in ma
king out some of the returns of the recent e
lection in Kansas. Parrot, the Free State can
didate, is, however, thought to be elected Del
egate to Congress ; but the Legislature is still
in doubt, and depends entirely upon what the
officers of the National Administration will
do. W ithout the Douglas and Johnson dis
trict, the Legislature stands :
Council Republicans '6 ; Pro-sl.ivery 4.
Houso-T-Republicans 19; Pro-slavery 12.
The Districts in which Johnson and Douglas
counties are embraced, elect 3 Councilmcn
and 8 Representatives. If the Pro-slavery
party would carry these, it would give them a
majority of one in each branch of the Legisla
ture. The way they went about accomplish
ing this, exhibits the boldest attempts at fraud
we have ever heard of. The precinct of Ox
ford, which is on the Shawnee Indian Reserve,
borders on Jackson county, Missouri. It is
not to be found on any map yet published, and
is in fact of a rather imaginary character; yet
the voting feats of this phantom district are
astonishing and extraordinary beyond all con
ception. The election was held cn Monday,
the 5th Oct. On Tuesday the returns were
made from Oxford, showing 88 majority for
the pro-slavery candidates all around. Count
ing Oxford at 88, the Republican majority in
the Douglas and Johnson district was ascer
tained to be 1,200. This was a loss to the pro
slavery party of 3 councilraen and 8 represen
tatives. With a judicious arrangement of mat
ters in the balance of the Territory, this loss
could have been sustained without throwing
the Legislature out of the hands of the Bor
der Ruffians. The interior counties, however,
almost unanimously returned Republican mem
bers. This put things wrong, when, presto! a
mistake of sixteen hundred and fourteen votes
was discovered in the Oxford precinct, in fa
vor of the pro-slavery ticket not one Free
State vote on the list! This, j&.will be seen,
would give the 3 members of council and 8 of
the House, in the Johnson and Douglas dis
trict, to the pro-slavery party, which added to
the number given above would give them a ma
jority of one in each branch of the Legislature !
No reason has yet been assigned for the
marvellous "error" that was found in Oxford.
Some people pretend to think the Shawnee
tribe of Indians made a grand rush at the polls
the day after the election, and voted the Na
tional Democratic ticket in spite of the Judges
of Election. Yet it is said to be a singular
fact that the 1614 names on tho poll list, and
all three of the signatures of the Judges, are
in the same hand-writing ! So gross a fraud,
of course, finds few apologists, and it remains
to be seen whether Walker and Stanton will
see the people of Kansas, whom they prom
ised to protect, thus cheated. If our Federal
functionaries will not promptly protect the
people of that territory, who went into this e
lection under promises of protection, against
this villainy, we may reasonably anticipate se
riona consequences.
Query 1 Whit was the trouble with the
post offices in Clearfield that the special mail
agent should traverse the connty, on foot, with
an umbrella under his arm, for a couple weeks
prior to the election 1 Some are curious to
know whether there was "a screw loose," and
whether the umbrella was designed to protect
the agent's person, or Gov.Bigler's popularity.
CyPacker's majority over Ilazlehurst is
at least 160,000. Wilmot'a majority over Ila
zlehurst exceeds 118,000. That Hazlehnrst is

W. P. Landon, a clerk of Surveyor General
Burr, of Utah, who had been left in charge of
the office when Burr left the Territory last
spring for his own safety, has also been com
pelled to leave. He is now in California. He
was severely beaten with clubs and stones by
the Mormons. He was driven from bis home
at night, leavinghis wife and child at Salt
Lake City. After adroitly eluding his armed
pursuers, he reached Placcrville in the most
distressing condition. Another clerk in the
Sarveyor-General's office, Mr. Wilson, was at
tacked by the Mormons, They roughly seized
him, tearing him away from his family.. They
commanded him to go along with them and
make no fuss, or they would d-n soon show
bitu what they were going to do with him. Mr
Lan'don's letter gives the particulars ot these
occurrences. Ho concludes by saying that
"all the Mormons have left Placorvillo ami
Carson Yallcy, for the purpose of defending
Zion."
Another conspiracy to restore Santa Anna
had been discovered and promptly frustrated.
A reso lution was to have broken out on the
25th in the city of Mexico. There was gieat
excitement and alarm for three days. Among
the conspirators arrested were Generals Salas,
Obando, Galosso, Zirez, Bonilla and C1. Do
minguez, who were doubtless in Santa Anna's
confidence.
The most destructive conflagration which
ever visited Chicago, occurred on tho 20th.

half a dozen were saved.
The President expresses a good deal of con
cern regarding the efil-ct of the pressure upon

Letters from California induce the belief
that the Pacific section of the wagon road is
by this time completed. The Honey Lake and
Humboldt River country is not so favorable as
was anticipated, grass and water being scarce.
Quartermaster Reynolds, who was dismissed

five minutes and was accompanied by a rum
bling noise like the rolling of an engine.
Latest advices from Salt Lake state that the
Mormons will refuse to allow the U. S. troops
to enter the city. Brigham Young publicly

city, if necessary, before he will submit to the
demands of the government.

The Election. Sufficient is known about
the recent election in Pennsylvania, to know
that tho allies of Slavery interests, aided by
the Molly Maguires and the influence of po
pery have again carried the State by a hand
some majority. However much we deplore
this result we still have a hope that good will
eventually result from it. The friends of
Freedom and a Protestant nationally may
learn the importance of more active, energet
ic and harmonious action. We are unwilling
to believe that this? result is a fair expression
of the sentiments of the people of the great
Keystone Stale, Iliinibuggery aud deception
were extensively practiced, and no means
were left untried by the enemy to bring about
this state of things.
The Protestant sentiment is too deeply
rooted in our people to thus contribute to the
encouragement to the Papal Hierarchy, if
they had not been grossly deceived. Already
is there an association tor Klitical purposes
in full operation in our country, commonly
known as the Molly Maguires, which is said to
be composed almost exclusively of Roman
Catholics. This association acted in harmony
with the so-called Democratic party at the
last election. Will not American citizens
soon take warning of the impending danger
and unite togother to stay the progress of
the political power which a foreign ecclesiasti
cal Potentate is exerting over our elections ?
Will they choose their own rulers or will they
permit a foreign power to dictato for them
