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

Gov. Packer's Cabixe. The Reading Ga

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.

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.
