On Last Wednesday, 1 Mr. Richard Carter, President of the Anthracite Bank, Tamaqua, was shot dead in Philadelphia, by Mr. Thomas W. Smith, for alleged criminal intercourse with his wife prior to her marriage with Smith This is another witness of the frightful preva lence of crime in our land. Virtue seems to be at a low ebb, and human life is regarded as of little value. Their destruction scarcely disturbs the moral sense of community ; and bo vitiated has the public taste grown that nothing appears to be relished so much by the reader, as narratives of murders, accounts of seductions, scandalous gossip, &c. How comes this t And what is the cause of this depraved taste and morbid mental appetite 1 If we lift the gaudy veil that is thrown over modern so ciety, we find it has imbibed a poison, which coursing through its various arteries and veins has corrupted the entire body. Men, carried away by the glittering allurements of wealth and unrestrained passion, have seemingly for gotten God and the Devil, and given them selves over to the worship of Mammon and to the gratification of the libidinous tendences of the flesh. To acquire gold and gratify their lusts, they will risk their lives and jeopardize their eternal salvation. But is it anv wonder that evil disposed men grow unblushingly bold and disregard moral sentiment, when we see the libertine and bawd, the corrupt and venal brawler, whose every breath is tainted with obscenity, profanity and whiskey, upheld and associated with, by individuals who assume to to respectable, honest and even religious, thus countenancing and encouraging their vices ? Can we expect crime, and vice, and immorali ty to diminish s"o long as they are purchaseable commodities? We -think not. And until there is a radical change in public sentiment, and our Courts become the dispensers ot rigid justice, we may expect that murder and every other sort of crime will abound undiminished. The IIard Times. We see the Democratic papers are arguing that the existing low tariff had nothing to do with bringing on the pre vailing financial difficulties. There is, howev er, no disguising the fact that it was the pri mary cause of our present troubles. The banks and the state of our currency may have pre cipitated matters; but if we want to know what caused the expansions, contractions, fluc tuations, the failure of banks and merchants, it can be summed up in few words : We have bought more foreign fabrics than we can pay for, and permitted the industrial interests of our own country to languish ; and the banks and land have been drained of specie to pay our foreign indebtedness. From last January to October, foreign merchandize to the amount Of $175,000,000 was imported. The value of our exports during the same time was about $50,000,000. These are the figures, and it is easy to calculate the difference against us. We have run in debt this year alone, S125, 000,000. With such a balance of trade against us, it is not reasonable to suppose that a crash could be prevented. The crash had to come, and it was the inevitable effect of the Free Trade policy ot the Democratic party. Slightly "Riled." Our neighbors of the Republican don't seem to relish our remarks, two weeks ago, on the Assembly Question. Vel, rot of it? Wo can't help that. If, by their course in the election of Representatives, the Democratic party of this county has iden tified itself with the log-floating interest, that is none of our business, but shows that the leaders care more for the "loaves and fishes" than for the interests of the "dear people." And if the result of this election is to be re garded, as it is already claimed, as an ac knowledgment that Clearfield county is in fa vor of log-floating, and thereby our raftsmen will be deprived of the protection of their just rights, they are to blame, and no others. This onr down-town neighbors know full well, and it is this that makes them feel sore about the matter, and exhibit signs of snarlishness. Still, after all that was said and insinuated concerning us, before the election, it ill be comes them to complain if we now place mat ters in their proper position. The Clearfieid Republican, though repeated ly called on for evidence to substantiate cer tain allegation against Mr. Wilmot, has not been able to produce any at all, and thus im pliedly acknowledges that it was guilty of 'bearing false witness", against him. The ed itor had better confess openly at once that be had been indulging in a little Mnnchausen ish Ji-terature, acd thus ease his conscience fully of any violation of the ninth article of the decalogue that ho may have" indulged in, In making his charga against Mr. Wi tmot. Utah. Lata advices represent that a large Mormon force under Brigham Young and He ber C. Kimball, were to leave Salt Lake City, well supplied with provisions and ammunition, for a campaign eastward to cut off and destroy the United States troops in some of the nar- " tow mountain passes, in some of which, it is aid, ten men could cope successfully with one hundred and fifty soldiers. Many of the In dian tribes of Southern Oregon and Utah were tecretly preparing to join the Mormon forces. THE WHOLE STOHY. The balance of trade against us during the current year, having to be adjusted in cash, is more than one hundred and twenty millions of dollars. ' And what causes this excessive im portation of articles of merchandize, the most of, ,vhich we ought to have made ourselves ? Common sense tells ns that it is the Tariff pol icy which has prevailed since 181 . And who dictated this policy ? The South the grow ers of Cotton, whose great staple find its chief market in England. And who enable tins sim ple interest, this small minority of the Amer ican people to control the policy of tho gov ernment in respect to this most important of our material interests I The so-called Demo cratic party. Three times, now, has the foundation of our national prosperity been undermined precise ly in the same way." Trom the close of the war with Great Britain in 1815, until 1821. we had a period of free trade and large importa tion, and some of us are old enough to remem ber the distress and utter prostration of the country during that shinpbister period, when wheat was less per bushel than oats have been in ordinary good times, and when ten bushels of oats were often sold for one dollar cash. Well, in 1824, a protective tariff law was enac ted, and the country at once began to recupe' rate. The currency soon became good, ex change regular and very low, manufacturing establishments sprung up everywhere, and the fanners having a home market, began to pros per too. . Perhaps there never was a more smooth and comfortable time since we became nation. Four years afterwards, 1828,' so pleased were the people with the protective policy,that Con press was induced to make it still stronger. This led to violent opposition on the part of the cotton-growing portion of our people, and ended in the .Nullification movement in South Carolina, and the unfortanate Tariff Compro mise of 1832, by which the rates of import were slowly reduced, until, in 1840, they should be only twenty per cent. Most. of us remember the crash of 1837, and the distres sing depression that followed, and which was relieved by a return to tho protective policy in 1842. In 1846, the policv was a train changed. In 1847, the famine in Ireland, and a general scar city in Europe, gave os high prices for our sur plus breadstufls, and that bore us very well o ver one year. la 1848 gold was discovered in California, and that kept us np for a few years : but all things find their level, and they have fonnd it, for we now see that sixty or seventy millions of gold, which cost as much labor as it is worth, is swallowed up and lost, like our cotton, tobacco and flour, in the overwhelm ing flood of European fabrics which the pres ent tree trade policv pours upon us. To sum up in a single sentence, tee hare neccr had a general breakdown under the protective pol icy ; nor have we ever recovered from a reverse like tho present except by the return to protection. 1 hese are historical facts. Pitlib. Dispatch. Kaksas. Dates at Lecompton to October 22d, received at St. Louis, state that Governor Walker has issued another proclamation in re lation to 1.200 votes returned from M'Ghee county, which are thrown out for the same reasons that governed his action in relation to the Oxford district in Johnson county. The proclamation states that in neither case has he gone behind the returns, and he disclaims all right todo so, but the votes were rejected in consequence of fatal defects in form. M'Ghee count-, it appears, was returned as giving 1,202 ".National Democratic" to 21 Free State votes. Parrots, Free State, is elected Dele gate to Congress certain. . Delegates to Congress. On the 13th ult. an election for delegate to Congress was held by the settlements- in Dakotah Territory, and Alpheus G. Fuller, formerly of St. Paul, was duly chosen by the people to represent them in that capacity at Washington. The example set in 1813 by the portion of Wisconsin Terri tory not included in that State, now in part Minnesota, in electing Mr. Sibley its delegate to Congress, is doubtless the precedent for this action by the settlers in Dakotah. - The in choate Territory of Arazonia has also elected a delegate to Congress. Judge Cato. A man named Ford, arrested for stabbing Bailey, a Free Sta'e man, at Le compton, Kansas, has been allowed to escape by Judge Cato, who refused to call a G rand Jury, and so suffered the case to go by default. The Herald of Freedom says Cato is such an habitual drunkard that lawyers of all parties, as well as the people, complain loudly of him. He is often too drunk for a whole day to at tend to business. ... "Work or Death." For several, days past meetings havo been held daily in the city of New York,by laborers and workmen out of em ployment, which have been attended with con siderable excitement. Inflammatory speeches have been made in the English, German and French langnages, loud threats of violence a gainst the rich have been uttered, and cries of "Work or Death !" have been indulged in. Ohio Election. The official majority for Chase, the Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio, will be 1,585. All the amendments proposed to the State Constitution have been adopted by enormous majorities. They pro vide for single legislative districts, annual ses sions of the Legislature, the equalization of Bank and individual taxation, general acts of incorporation, etc. The election in Maryland, on last Wednes day, resulted in the complete triumph of the American party. Several men were shot at the polls in Baltimore ; but on the whole, the day passed off more quietly than usual. The suspended country banks of Pennsyl vania have all, as far as we can learn, accepted the terms of the Relief Law. Those of Phil adelphia and Pittsburgh having done the same, the law is now in full operation. New Yokk. The election for Secretary of State, Controller, Treasurer, &c, of New York was held last week, and resulted in favor of the Democracy. The Republican vote was not out by over 100,000. ILlssaiCHwetts The Republicans have tri umphed in Massachusetts. X. P. Banks is e leeted Governor, and a large majority of both branches of the Legislature is Republican. New Jersey, as usual, has gone in favor of Democracy, Lager Beer and Molly Maguire. Of the newly elected Senators, 15 are Demo crats, 8 Republicans and 6 Americans. STJKMAEY OF JTEWS. . On the 1st inst., three persons, named Breen, and Slavin and his son, the supposed murder ers of the Mackenzie family of six persons, on the 24th ult., were arrested at their camp in the woods, and brought to New Brunswick and placed in jail.

Letter from Kansas to the 2Gth ult., state that only S3 of the GO members of the consti tutional convention were present, ani that nothing of general interest 'had been 'done. Gov, Walker .and .Secretary, Stanton were at Lawrence on the 19th ult. ( Nothing was said about their leaving the Territory The" Herald of Fieedorn says that the Bank suspensions in the east were severely felt in Kansas, on ac count .of the large amount oi valueless Eas tern Exchange held there. Upwards ot 300 of the troops are stationed at Lecompton. A protest has been entered against issuing certificates for the Pro-Slavery candidates for the Legislature in the Leavenworth district in the Kickapoo precinct. " The depot of Illinois Central Railroad at Cairo, with all its contents, was destroyed by fire on Oct. 30th including five freight cars, and also the engine house. The loss, is esti mated at $200,000. Two packages of money each containing about S1500,were also burned. One of these belonged to Adams, Graham & co. . . . ' '.' Advices frem Texas state that a fire occur red at Brownsville, Texas, on tho ICtli ult., during which 95 kegs of powder exploded, killing four men and injuring several others. The loss amounts to $200,000. ' ! ' A terrible hurricane passed over the coun try oDe mile north of Frankford, Ohio, on the line of the Marietta and Cincinnati Rail road, on the Gth, destroying houses, barns and fences. A two story dwelling waa completely prostrated, and eight or ten persons were se riously injured ; two of them are not expected to recover. General Walker, in a letter addressod to the Secretary of State, says so far as any vio lation on his part to the acts , of Congress is concerned, he denies the charge with scorn and indignation, and will not so far forget his duty as sn officer ef Nicaragua, as to vio late the laws of the United States, while en joying hospitality of those within its limits. As his military organization is abandoned, about 2500 men from the various Southern States have enrolled themselves as emigrants to Nicaragua. The Rev. Wm. F. Merrill was knocked down and stabbed in four plsces, in Biddeford, Maine, on the 5th inst. The assassin was not arrested nt last accounts. The difficulty, between O" Conner Brothers and the Merchants and Manufacturers Bank, Pittsburgh, has been adjusted, aud the bank now stands ia its old position as one of our safest institutions. . : - - . . The Quaker City arrived at .NewYorkon 2d. r An accident having compelled the Gol den . Gate to put back, her passengers and freight were transferred to. tho Golden Age, which left San Francisco on tho 11th ult. The Star of the West, which was to have left on the 30th ult., had $1,600,000 in specie on board. The most important news brought, by this arrival is a confirmation of the rumored exodus of the Mormons from Carson Valley by order of Brigham Yonng. It is also stated that the foundations of a new Zion "are being laid ' in the Russian Possessions. The ma jorit' in favor of paying the State debt is large. The "crops are abundant. Numerous Indian difficulties are reported. The news of the com mencement of the financial crisis in the East had caused little excitement. On Monday night Col. Fremont arrived at New York, from California, and on Tuesday morning his wife also arrived on the Arago in the same cify,frora I the other side of the world. A letter in the St. Louis Democrat, dated Lecompton, Nov. 2, says that Walker had left there a few days before, and his destina tion was thought to be Washington. It is stated that WalKer's object in stationing the troops at Lecompton was not exactly to pro tect the Convention nor to watch and be pre pared for any action his Pro-Slavery enemies might make against him, but because the Le gislature, having a large Free-Stste majority, will probably repeal the obnoxious laws and depose the office-holders ; in which case a re petition of the bloody scenes in the early his tory of the Torritory is apprehended. The Constitution will be submitted to the people with a Slavery clause which will be objection able to the Free-State men, and too moderate for the Pro-Slavery ultraists. Some excitement was occasioned in Phila delphia, on the Gth, by a gang of about a doz en men" armed with muskets appearing in the streets, carrying a banner bearing the incrip tion, "We will Protect the poor," and with a loaf of bread pictured upon it. The Police dis persed them and captured their guns. A horrible murder was committed in the 5th Ward, New York city, Friday night, the Gth. Four fiends, named O'Conner, Toole, Ragen, and "Sailor Dan," broke into the room of a woman named Spitzlin, aged 55, and whilst one held by her throat the others violated her person, and by the time they bad all accom plished their hellish purpose, they had her strangled to death. The Earthquake. The recent earthquake which so astonished the people of western New York, was also felt in Warren, county, Pa. In the borough of Warren, it jarred many buildings so much as to cause alarm. It last ed about a quarter of a minute, and was ac companied by a heavy rumbling sound. The Administration at Washington it per plexed as to the course it shall pursue towards Governor Walker, of Kansas, for rejecting the fraudulent votes. On Monday last, Flour sold ia Pittsburgh at $4,50 for superfine, and ?5 for extra brands. : PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS... PREPARED FOR THE "KAFTSMA.N's JOCKS AX.." 'Dacphix Cocxty.

Some weeks ago, news from Carson Valley announced the attack of a train of six men and one woman and child, on the Hum boldt river, by the Indians. Tho men were all killed but one, who made his escape. The child was also killed and its mother shot in several places with arrows, scalped,, and left for dead. All the while they were scalping her and st-ipping the clothes from her body, she was perfectly conscious of what they were doing, but fcjgncd death, and let them tear the skin from her head without ever giving signs of life, knowing that if she did, they would either dispatch her at once or take her into hopeles.-i captivity. Atone time, when they left her for a moment, she ventured to change her position, in order, if possible, to relieve herself from the uncomfortable posi tion in which she was lying, but on their re turn they very soon discovered that she had moved, and for fear that her life might not be extinct, they took hold of the arrows that were still sticking in her body, and worked them about in the wounds, pushed them deep er into the Seh. and stamped upon her with their heels. All this she endured without ut tering a groan, or drawing a brenth that could be perceived by the savages, and in that con dition was left as food for the wolves. Fortu nately, however, a train came along before she had lain long in that condition, and dressed her wounds, and brought her along with them, and not the least remarkable fact attending the whole matter is, that she is fast recovering lrom her wounds; her head, we are told, is nearly well, and the arrow wouuds doing bet ter than any one expected. Kansas. The Kansas Free State Territo rial Executive Committee have issued an ad dress to the people, saying that the recent ic ty great as it is, does not Free Kansas. A body of usurpers, (the Constitutional Conven tion,) were assembled at Lecompton, concoct ing a scheme to perpetuate the slave oligarchy in Kansas. The address continues : "To their action wo respectfully call -your attention; hold meetings in every locality and denounce them ; persevere and perfect your military or ganization at every point; be prepared to march at a moment's warning, that when vour cause and your country calls, you may prompt ly respond." ' Scoty axd Pillow. General Scott has pub lithed another card in reply to General Pillow. He says that in consequence of the ill advised publication bj Congress of the report of his expenditures of secret service money during tho Mexican war, five highly rcspectabjo citi zens of Mexico, utterly guiltle-s of bribery, but liable to suspicion under those designa tions, have, through a distinguished channel, made application to him for exoneration. Isdiax Affairs ix Utah Brigvam Voun in a communication to the Indian liareaa savs that if he is to have the direction ot Indian Affairs, and is expected to maintain friendly relations with the Indians he would &uc,eJt that tr vellers should omit the infamous prac. tice of shooting them when they LappotJ see one. Hence it is natural that they t61 vengeance in retaliation. The government should make more liberal presents. He h proven that it is far cheaper to feed and clothe the Indians than to fight them. When th fighting is over, it is always followed by ex pensive presents, which, if properly distribu ted at first, might have averted the fight The troops, he also says, must be kept away, for it is a fact that wherever are the most of these, there' we may expect to Cad the greatest amount ot hostile Indians, and the least secu rity to persons and property. If these items be complied with, he has no hesitation in say ing that, so far as Utah ia concerned, no Indi- ans would molest the persons or property .of travellers. He says that the Department has often manifested its approval of his manage ment of Indian affairs, and never its disapprov al, and why should he be subjected to such an noyances in regard to fund for paying expen ses, and why denied his salary 1 Wi.y should the appropriations for the benefit of the Indi ans of Utah be retained in the Treasury, and individuals left unpaid 1 These are questions, he says, I leave for you to answer at your lei sure, and in the meanwhile submit to such course in relation thereto, as you shall see fit to direct.
