mm1 mmwm laftaii's journal S. B. ROW, EDITOR AD r-ROPIt: ETOIl. CLEARFIELD, PA., DEC. 30, 1S57. SEUATOB. BIGLEK. This gentleman has gained some notoriety though little fame, by his course on the Kan sas Qnestion, and by his polemical encounters with Mr. Douslas. who put him tiirjugh a reg ular "course of sprouts' The position of Mr. Bigler is little relished by a large proportion of the Democracy ; in fact, there are many avowedly averse to it. The G.'obe, a Demo cratic paper in Huntingdon county, which is not wilting to comply with the r.ew demands of the Slave Power as made in the Lecompton Constitution, is quite severe on him. It pub lishes, among other things, the following cx tract, italics and all, from Bigler's speech at Huntington last summer, in answer to one from J edge Wilmot : t; We claimed that the Democracy were more the friends of 'Free Kansas,' because they wished to have her people perfectly free to se lect all their domestic institutions." Upon which the Globe comments thus : "We regret that Hon. Win. Bigler, who nut four months ago pledged the Democracy f this State as being earnestly the friends ot 'Free Kansas,' should so soon assnnic the lea dership of the enemies of 'Free Kansas.' His position and past influence may lead astray a Jew who do not think for themselves, and oth ers who are 'spoils7 Democrats only, but the masses, the honest men ot ovr party in the State, will remain firm, and demand that the people of Kansas le left perfectly free to select ali. their domestic institutions. The Democrat ic party will neither be led or driven into the enpport ot minority rule in Kansas." This, be it remembered, is the language ol a Democratic paper. The paragraph is worthy of close consideration. It discloses the fact that a leading man of that party is guilty of practicing gross duplicity, though the editor should not, we think, be surprised at any snd den turn the Honorable gentleman alluded to may make, as consistency seems never to have troubled him very much. It is well-known that in 1817, Mr. Bigler introduced resolu tions into the Stato Senate, of which he then was a member, endorsing the Wilmot Proviso, and made at the time a speech in their favor, and voted for their passage ; and yet, during the past summer, he repudiated that act as having been done in haste and without due consideration, and that he did not at all ap prove of the Proviso. The paragraph contains se me other admis sions, which it is not our purpose to allude to now, but which every one can ponder over tor his own edification. Kansas. The St. Louis Democrat of Dec. "I, publishes a Kansas letter in which it is said that on the evening of the 10th a battle occur red at Fort Scott between the Pro-Slavery and Free-State men. I ive of the former were kil led, among them Blake Little, a member of the Lecompton Convention. Several were wounded on both sides, and twenty Free-State men were taken prisoners and confined in the Fort. The Missourians were assembled in strong force on the border, and more fighting was apprehended. The difficulties grew out of the fact that Clark, notorious as Cie mur derer of Barber, two years since, went about, accompanied by a Deputy Sheriff, collecting taxes, and seizing their property in default of payment, making prosecution nnder the rebel lion law. The Territorial Executive Commit tee had -issued a call for the re-assembling of the Delegate Convention, held at Lawrence on the 2d inst., to take into consideration the best course to pursue in consequence of the Legis lature having failed to submit the Topeka Constitution to the people with the Lecomp ton instrument. A New Political Movement. The X. Y. Express states that a movement to form an other political party, which is to snpercede the American and Republican parties and unite the opposition to the Administration, has been commenced in that State. The platform sus tains the Union of the States above all other considerations demands Protection to Amer ican Industry asks for Internal Improvements by the General Government sustains Popular Sovereignty, and denounces any attempt to deny the people of every Territory the right directly to form their own Constitution, as un- rl, 1 .1 .i ii: jusi, nieai a:iu miu-re uuiicau cans lor a uniform National Currency ; and asks for a Registry Law. Joirsal of Industry is the title of a week ly publicaticn devoted to the advocacy of a policy of the government which will establish an American System that will foster American intercstsand protect American industry against the pauper labor of Europe, containing valua ble statistics of the Agricultural, Manufactu ring, Mechanical, Commercial and Laboring Interests of the Country.

The Reading Ga zette announces that the Governor elect has formally tendered the office of Secretary of the Commonwealth to the Hon. Wra. M. Ilies tcr, and that Mr. Hicster has signified his ac ceptance of the appointment. During the late season of navigation on the Jakes, the disasters bare resulted in a loss of 221 lives and $2,000,000 of property. A GOOD HIT. During the debate in the House on the pas sage of the "Democratic" Treasury note bill, otherwise known as the "shin-plaster" bill of a hard-money administration, Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois, brother of the murdered Lovejoy of Alton, one of the first martyrs in the anti- slavery cause, said : This was a deceptive bill, but he would not characterize it as lraudulent in the legal sense of the term. The bill proposed what is called a loan, but in reality it designs to convert the government into a great 'shin-plaster" ma chine to fill the country with irredeemable pa per money, which has always professedly been distasteful to the democracy. The generous soul of democracy has left that carcase ami has entered and now animates the true Jetter sonian democracy the Republican party. The supposed plates for the Treasury notes had already been prepared, with the likeness f the President on one end, and that of the Secretary of the Treasury on the other, icith the motto, '-Thanks to the Sub-Treasury, the Government has not failed." (Laughter.) He wanted to know where the money is tg come from, and whether any part of it is to be used to force infamous laws and a despotism on the people of Kansas, anil cnlorco the Le comptuu constitution at the point of the bay onet. Mr. Letcher inquired whether Mr. Lovejoy was aware that the people of Kansas were to vote to-day f therefore the money could not be used for that purpose. Mr. Lovejoy replied, that the party there had played such fantastic tricks as made Heav en blush and the other .place rejoice. (Laughter.) Tyrants always want money, and he could rnly compare this administration to that of Philip the .Second. He charged on the sham democracy, and warned the people of the fact, that an attempt was now made by it to convert the country into a despotism, and the Treasury department into a great na tional bank. The President is gradually slid ing into it. and when he fullv succeeds, the democracy will swear they always favored a bank. Americanism. General Jackson was right "we need be more Americanized." This is what the country wjnts to give it the charac teristic ot nationality. jo more conserva tive proposition has ever been brought to the country than the American system, proposed by Henry Clay. It is lamentably true, and we say it with regret, that the country has drif ted past the landmarks set up by our earlier statesmen, and although little is to be hoped from the doings ot the present Congress, it may be that a returning sense of patriotism will arouse some intelligent orator to ask why the opinions and sentiments of such statesmen as Clay and Jackson, should not pass into the law of the country. We have an American name, and an American form of government, but it is too true, that these things exist in name and form only. Our rapid prospcrify seems to have contented us, and closed our eyes to the necessity of sell preservation. We do not appear to realize the importance of a Nationality. There seems to he, under the dominion of the self-styled "Democratic" party, no probability ol alarming the country to the excessive immigration that is flowing in on us, and yet there is, perhaps, no one rep resentative ot the people .nconscious of the evil, and of the necessity of a change. Europe. The Persia arrived on the 2oth at New York, with English dates to the 12th. The Indi.in news is rather gloomy. There is a force of 70,000 around Lucknow, and it was doubtful if the garrison could hold out until the arrival of Sir Colin Campbell. Sir James Outram's force had been seriouslv reduced. The chronic rebellion in Onde is more troub lesome than ever. Dates from China are to the 30th of October at which lime preparations were making for an assault on Canton. It is said that the Chinese Government had deman ded the withdrawal of the Russians from the Amour. The English news is not important ; the Rank and commercial questions occupied Parliament. The Imh-mnsty act had passed the Commons. Very little progress had been made in the launching of" the Leviathan ; she is about half launched, at an expense thus far of $3-V),U00. The. Times severely censures Mr. Brunei tor this result, or rather lack of result. Utah Extemtiox. St. Louis dates of the 23d state tint an exprecs, recently arrived at Leavenworth. K. T.; from the Utah expedition briugs information that the whole force, with the exception of Col. Cook and his command, had concentrated at Black's Fork, and were moving towards Fort Bridger. Their progress was very slow, sometimes making only two or or three miles per day. The animals were giv ing out hourly, and it was thought that all would perish during the winter. The supply train, with all the military stores and provi sions, were abundant. The report that two companies of Infantry had met with reverses on the route to Utah, was without foundation. Five companies of Col. Sumner's regiment, and the first Cavalry, had recently taken win ter qaarters at Fort Riley. Stodaut of the Tyrone Herald complains of 1 the hard times and ol the poor support he re ceives at home, and threatens to "pull up stakes" and go elsewhere, unless the citizens give him a "raise" pretty soon. Clearfield is just now a splendid opening for an editor who has a fancy for indulging in the very quintes sence of "hard times," and may wish to try the experiment of living on promises, pine knots, buckwheat cakes and "hog gravy" the latter two being rare luxuries or to give a practical illustration of "spontaneous combus lion." A Revelation. The public are indebted to Mr. Bigler for his revelation, in the debate of Wednesday, of the fact that the omission in Mr. Toomb's Kansas bill of the last Congress of any provision for a submission to the peo ple of the Constitution proposed to be formed under it, was a matter of design and concert a mong the Democratic politicians who conferred upon it. The Republicans suspected the de sign at the time, and charged it, but were met by indignant denial. It is now said by Mr. Big ler that the framert of the Toombs bill attended that there should be no submission to the people of the constitution to be foimeduadcr it. Republic. THIETY-FIFTH C0NGBES3. December 21. In the Senate, Mr. Bigler had the temerity a second time to defend the Lecompton swindle, arraign Senator Douglas lor inconsistency, and insinuate that he was carrying favor with the Republicans. Mr. Douglas replied in such a wise that in the run ning debate which followed,Mr.Bigler was bro't to his marrow-bones more than once. Mr. Bigler had said that he knew the Lecompton fraud to be an Administration measure, from the Message and from "other sources of in formation." When pressed to say what those "other sources" were, he as good as backed out from his original position. He was for ced to disclaim any intentions to read Mr. Douglas out of the party, and finally he de clined to protract the discussion. M. Bigler will hardly care to tackle the "Little Giant" again. Mr. Stuart of Michigan will continue the debate to-day. The House resolution tor the payment of arrearages to Members of Congress at the commencement, instead of at the end ol" the session, and a joint resolution providing that when the two Houses adjourn to-morrow it be till the 4th of January, were passed. The House spent the day in discussing the Treasury Note bill the principal speakers thereon being Messrs. Letcher of Va., Banks of Mass., Lovejoy of III. andCampbeil of Ohio Various substitutes and modifications of the measure were suggested, but no action was taken. A resolution was passed limiting de bate to two hours to-day, with the view, it is to be presumed, of rushing the bill through before the recess. Leave was asked, but not obtained, to introduce a resolution of inquiry into the propriety of excluding Mr. Beruhisel, the Delegate from Utah, lrom his seat. Decemueh 22. The Senate refered bills to secure to actual settlers the alternate sections of the public lands reserved in the grants to the States for railroad purposes, and to grant every head of a family who is a citizen of the United States a homestead of 100 acres of land, on condition of its occupancy and cul tivation. On the President's Message, Mr. Fitch took the floor. lie did not desire to read Mr. Douglas out of the party, pointed him to the fate of such as had taken position outside of the pale, instancing Mr. Van Burcn as a frightful example. Mr. F. was for ad mitting Kansas with whatever Constitution she might present. Mr. Douglas replied, show ing Mr. Fitch to be heterodox on one point at least, lie (Mr. D.) had not become the mere servile tool of any President. If the Presi dent wanted Democratic harmony, let him stand by the Cincinnati platform. Mr. D. spoke with confidence in the strength of his position, and in a tone of defiance to those who denounced his course. Mr. Clay mixed in, but said nothing of importance. In the House the Treasury Note bill was discussed. Mr. Snow opposed the sending forth of an ir redeemable paper currency : there being noth ing in the Treasury to redeem the issue, it would but add to the evils which now prevail. Up favored a loan which would bring forth the twenty millions of coin now in secret reces ses unemployed, and waiting for a safe invest ment. Mr. Smith of a. considered that the notes would not be of the character of bank paper; that the bill in effect only proposed a loan. After a political tilt between Messrs Smith and Grove, Mr. Morris of Pa. congrat ulated the President on his stand upon the oldWhig National Bank platform. Mr Glaricy Jones supported the bill. Mr. Banks moved to amend so as to raise $20,000,000 on stock redeemable in one year, which was lost, 78 to 103. The Senate bill was then passed with out amendment, 113 to 80. December 23. In the Senate, after refer ring various portions of the President's Mes sage, Mr. Stuart took up the Kansas question, lie agreed with Attorney-General Butler that the power of Congress in the admission of new States was plenary. Congress is to deter mine whether the State shall be admitted at all, anI if so, how. Enabling acts are not in dispensable to the admission of new States. These principles he applied to the case of Kan sas. Was the form of Government republi can, were the people satisfied, and did they ask admission under it ? Congress had pow er to admit, but not to coerce. As half of the people of Kansas had not an opportunity to vote for Delegates to the Convention, how should they abide by the decision in which their voices had not been heard J The Con vention was a trick and a fraud, and he would never veto to sanction that fraud, the most enormous ever attempted upon the people un der the form of law. If this (the Lecompton) Constitution ws forced upon the people cf Kansas, those who did it would light the torch of civil discord throughout the Union. Thev- might cry "peace, peace, but there would be no peace." Mr. Broderick agreed w ith Messrs. Douglas and Stuart in most of their remarks ; but when Walker went to Kansas he found in surrection, and with great labor restored peace. The President and Cabinet were alone respon sible for the recent outbreak. It was the first time that he had known the President to de scend from his high position to coerce peace able citizens to the will of party men. He had rendered as much service in the election of Buchanan as any man on the floor, and he was sorry to disagree with his party. He was astonished at the forbearance of the people of Kansas toward the Delegates to the Conven tion. If they had flogged them, cut oflf their ears, and sent them out of the Territory, he would have applauded them for it. If the Lecompton Constitution should ever be pre sented to the Senate, he should have some thing to say about it. He was no Free-Soiler ; in his own State his most bitter opponents were Republicans. When he was in the party councils in New-York there was a Democratic Stato Convention, of which Messrs. Doolittle and Preston King were members, and at that Convention a proposition was made to the ef fect that if one wingof the party should consent to indorse the Wilniot Proviso, they might have all the offices, but he refused to enter into nny such agreement. .Mr. Doolittle an swered that he was in that Convention, and such a resolution was submitted ; but no pro position of the kind ever came from him. Mr. Broderick said it was Mr. King who made the proposition. Mr. King did not recollect it. lie thought there could be no other mo tive for citizens residing in Free-States oppo sing such a resolution, except the hope cf of fice. Mr Doolittle said that when the Wilmot Proviso was before the Senate and was expec ted to pass, Mr. Cass expressed his anxiety again and again to record his vote in its favor. It failed, because John Davis talked it to death, but to get the Southern nomination for Presi dent, Mr. Cass subsequently wrote the Nich olson letter. Mr. Brown gave notice that he should hereafter express his yiews; but if the recent election in Kansas was a fair one, he stood upon the record in favor of admission ; and if she should ask to come in as a Slave State, he hoped his frieids on the other side would admit her. The Senate then adjourned to the 4th day of January. In the House Mr. "Warren asked that the Committee on Territor ies be instructed to report as to the propriety of excluding the delegate from Utah from a seat, on account of the rebellion of Brigham Young- Messrs. Banks, Bocock, Humphrey Marshall, Morris of Illinois, Davis of Mary land, Curtis, Warren, Boyce, Colfax, Stephens, and others, joined in a general debate on the affairs of L'tah. Mr. Keitt moved to table the resolution, which was lost. The resolution did not come to a vote. That part of il.e President's Message referring to Utah was sei.t to the Committee on Territories. Mr. Petit announced the death of Mr. Brenton, and Mr. Niblack the death of Mr. Lockhart, and after the delivery of eulogies upon them, the; House adjourned to the -1th day of Jan n iry . TV lb uue.
