CLEARFIELD, PA , MAY 19,1858.
How tuey Look at it is Kansas. The
people of Kansas, as we anticipated, reject
with contempt the pitiful bribe offered them
by the Administration as the price of their
liberties ; they scout the idea of receiving the
Leconipton constitution even wheu accom
panied by a golden pill.
The Quindaro Chindovran says : ' For our
part, we consider it a most infamous dodge
an infernal swindle a piece of unmitigated
Bconndrelism. It is mean, low-lived, villain
ous. It bas its origin in injustice ; its chief-
cst feature is partiality ; it is the latest man
date of the vilest despotism."
The Leavcworth Ledger says : "It now re
mains for the people of this territory to decide
whether they will accept the bribo offered to
them by Congress, or reject it, and with
that budget of villainies, tho Leconipton con
stitution. We have too much confidence in
the integrity of the people of Kansas to believe
that they will accept any such proposition
We believe that they would rather remain ;
territory eternally, thin to conio into tho
Union under such insulting and degrading con
ditions."
The Leavenworth Timet says : "Our dnty
as it appears to us, is plain though it bo pain
fill. "With that devotion and niagnanuuity
characteristic of tho free state party, we should
drop all thought of existing state govern
mcnts: sro, like ono man, into the election
Tinder the English bill, vote the land bribe
with its Leconipton appendage, into eternity
and then urge forward emigration, so that be
fore another year rolls aroun I, we may count
a population guaranteeing our admission into
the confederation even under tho high-handed
terms of the English bill."
The Lawrence Republican says : "As we
go to press, we learn that the Lecompton bill
as reported by English from the committee of
conference, has passed both branches of Con
gress in the House by nine majority. Lc
compton is therefore passed provided the
people of Kansas vote to accept a proflered
land grab ; otherwise we remain in a territorial
condition until we have 93,000 inhabitants. Of
course we will remain a territory !"
The Atchison Champion says : "This act is
the crowning infamy of the disgraceful action
which has characterized the Leconipton move
ment since it sprang into existence. Corrup
tion culminated in this English amendment,
and fiendish malignancy hurled its last shaft
at tho people of Kansas, in a low insult to
their manhood and honor, by attempting to
buy their manhood, and bribe them to accept
this famous swindle with a few acres of land.
They would rather remain outsido of the
Union lorevcr, than accept this Swindle on
any terms. They hated it first from a sense
of its injustice, and at every step in it3 pro
gress, as the villainy which has marked its
successful consummation has grown more in
famous, their hatred has grown more intense;
they utterly detest its every feature, and scorn
the paltry acres of land with which unprinci
pled men have sought to purchase their man
hood." A Xew Party Movkmext. Measures are
being adopted in the State of Xew York, to
effect a union of all the opponents of the Le
conipton fraud upon a single ticket at the com
ing election. A circular has been issued urg
ing the importance of a meeting of all persons,
without regard to former political associations,
who are now willing to oppose, at the polls,
tho principles and policy ot the National Ad
ministration. This circi lar is signed by the
most prominent members of the Republican
and American parties, and indicates clearly
the platform on which a common organization
and a common effort are practicable. The
New York Tribune gives the movement its
entire approbation. It says : " We hail with
iov an.l iino this cordial overture. This
j - i
State onght to send from twenty-five to thirty
opponents of the Lecompton fraud to the next
Cnneress. and elect a State ticket and Legisla
ture hostile to it by at least ono hundred thou
sand majority. 1 o secure this consummation,
a generons forgctfulncss of obsolete differ
ences, and an. earnest reciprocity of conces
sions with regard to candidates are all that is
needed." no mako the following extract
from the circular :
"The absolute and unconditional surrender
of the National Government into the hands of
the aggressive and intolerant slave power of
tho country, by tho National Administration,
as exemplified in its attempt to impose a re
pulsive Constitution upon tho people of Kan
sas, in defiance of their expressed wishes,
makes it the imperative duty of all good citi
zens, who desiro to preserve the institutions
inherited from their fathers, to ignore all con
siderations of a selfish character, and to unite
at tha polls for the purpose of deposing an
Administration at once so faithless and des
potic. As a preliminary step, the undersign
ed have cordially united with their fellow-citizens
in calling a mass-meeting, to bo held at
Buffalo, on the twenty-seventh of May, at
which an opportunity will be afforded for a
free and full expression of the sentiments of
the people of the country, in regard to their
political rights and duties. Satisfied them

no hesitation in asking their friends in each of

with them m utter forgetfulness of tho past
ana in harmonious preparation for the future'
to the end that tho Government of the country
SS53tt?.ftm nd' f those who
Protection- to American Ixdi-stry. The
following article, which we clip from a late
number of the Delaware Journal, expresses ex
actly the sentiments we entertain on the sub
ject to which it relates :
"Protection to American industry should
le the watchword of every mechanic in the
United States. In adjusting a tariff lor rev
enue a just and proper discrimination should
be made in favor of the industrial classes of
our country. Why should not we take care
of our own manufacturing interests to the
same extent as England ? Why should Con-
cress in its legislation give to the manufac
tories and workshops of Europe a preference
over those at home. This question of protec
tion, like that of slavery has too long been
moulded into shape ami power :y soutnern
Interests, to the great injury of northern me
chanics and laborers; and the time we think
has now come when the working men of the
country have a right to demand of Congress a
more decidedly American policy in reference
to the tariff question.
The toiling millions of our people have
felt keenly and bitterly the cllects of an indis
criminate competition with England in the
departments of trade and industry ; and pro
fiting by that experience, should set up their
claim to more substantial protection lrom a
government so abundantly blessed with all the
energies of industrial vitality as is ours at
present. It would seem that nothing but the
most decided hostility to domestic industry
could prompt an American citizen to oppose
a proper degree of protection to our manufac
tures, when he must know from the experi
ence of the past, as well as by the natural laws
of trade, that such protection such fostering
of home industry is essential to the perma
nent establishment of a fair system of com
petition between this country and Europe.
If incidental protection Lad been afforded
our manufactures long ago, hundreds and
thousands of men and women might now be
employed, who to-day are wandering about
the country in a half-famished, impoverished
condition, seeking employment but seeking
it in vaiu. And while all this misery, all this
stagnation of busiuess is going on, England is
pouring in upon us all the productions of her
shops and manufactories m such vast abun
dance as to completely overstock the market,
undersell the American producer, and thereby
prostrate the industrial interests of the coun
try ; thus locking up workshops, silencing the
loom, the anvil, the saw and the various im
plements of busy trade, which might other
wise send up their united hum of activity from
the plving arms and hands of thousands of
happy and skillful mechanics.
Why not then give lis protection 7 why do
not the people the interested people, those
whose shops are idle, whose implements of in
dustry are silently rusting for want of use.
whose homes are desolated by poverty, and
whose sinews arc becoming rigid and still
from very want of exercise, why do they not
insist upon their rights and speak out to Leg
islators and Presidents a voice that will be
heard, and must be respected ?
Let the key note of the American mechanic
then, be Pkotectiox that protection which
will secure national prosperity, and insure
domestic happiness and comfort by a fair and
sure reward for honest industry and toil."
For weeks, if not months, Congress was im
portuned to dispose of the. Kansas question
somehow almost anyhow in order to take
up and dispose of the subjects on which prac
tical legislation is required by the public in
terest. Such were the daily exhortations of
the "National" press such was the burden
of the strain especially of those devoted to
the Federal Executive. No "harp of a thou
sand strings" was ever twanged more persis
tently. Well: Kansas, is at length disposed
of, at least for the present. Congress has for
some ten days devoted its energies to other
and (as they say) practical subjects. What
aie the results, present and probable, of this
new direction of its energies ? What good
has thence been realized, or is likely to be ?
The securing of Homesteads to Actual Set
tlers on the Public Lands by some measure
which shall give them at least a few years'
start of speculators, if not the exclusive right
of appropriation, has been brought fairly and
in an unexceptionable form before each House.
There was no excuse, not grounded in hostili
ty, to the principle, for evading or postpon
ing -iMmn. Yet action has been evaded or
postponed in each, and almost exclusively
by the votes of those who supported tne Le
compton and English bills. Those votes have
probably defected any action looking to Land
Reform at this Session.
The Pacific Railroad bas in hko manner
been taken up only to be thrown over lor the
Session. The votes by which action on this
subject, also, was deleated wero mainly those
of the Lccomptonitcs.
The long-deferred claims of the sufferers by
French Spoliations prior to 1800 havo also
been thrown over for the Session, which pro
bably means for the Congress. Here, again
the majority was composed mainly of Admin
istration men.
On the subject of Tariff Revision no action
has been taken, and there is no rational hope
of any. A Pennsylvania President and Chair
man of Ways and Means seo tho Mining and
Manufacturing interests lie paralyzed and des
pondent, with the Labor of the Country inad
equately employed and paid, while the Gov
ernment is rushing into debt at the rate of
some Twenty Millions per annum. A propor
Revision of the Tariff would reanimate Indus
try and arrest the decay of the National Fi
nances. Nothing like this is done, nothing
is attempted for the architects of ruin have
a majority in either House. .
Tho improvement of Rivers and Harbors
ought to receive marked attention from Con
gross at this time ; but there is little hope
that anything will be done. The only bill re
ported which provides at all adequately for
this great National interest emanates from
the Republican minority of tho House Com
mittee of Commerce.
Even the NationalBankrnpt Act, has scarce
ly a prospect of being acted on. Two or three
bills have been reported to the Senate, by va
rious fragments of tbo Judiciary Committee,
but there is hardly a chance that either will
be definitely acted upon.
Such being the general aspects presented by
the journals and tables of the two Houses, in
this sixth month of tho Session, and after the
Kansas question has been for some tiuio put
aside, can any one tell us what sort of practi
cal legislation, beyond the very practical bus
iness ot putting the oUico-holders freshly in
funds by passing tho Appropriation bills, the
majority in Congress regard with favor ?
The Great Et ffaloIIcst-- The headquar
ters of the great buffalo hunt, in which Moham
med Pasha, a bevy of Congressmen and a lot of
diplomatistis are to take part next July,will be
established at Breckcnridge, which is at the
head of steam navigation on the Red River of
the North. From this point for full five hun
dred miles the Red River of the North, navi
gable for heavy draft steamers, rolls down the
richest and most magnificent valley in the
world. Its attractions for emigration are ime
qualed; rich in its products, with a mild aud c
ven temperature. Through it roam the buffalo
and elk, the hunting of which will prove a no
llj sport to those composing the paity. The
expedition will leave St. Cloud, on the Missis
sippi River, about the middle of July, and pro
ceed directly to Breckcnridge, and Mr. George
F. Boott, of Minnesota, offers to convey all ed
itors of the press through out theUnion.who de
sire to accompany the expedition, from St.
Cloud to the hunting grounds and back to St.
Cloud free of expense. Proper vouchers will
bo required.
An " Address from tho Advent church in
N.York and Newark, to the church scattered a
broad," in which there is an attempt to prove
that the advent of our Lord will take place
this year, &c, having been circulated in the
public prints, Dr. Hutchison of the N. Y. Ad
vent Mission Church comes out and says they
have no hand in the matter; that they have no
faith in the teachings of the address ; and that
it is mainly the work of Mr. A. Flavcl, of
Newark, who has sat quite a number of times
for the event before. "Advcntists believe in
the near coming of Christ ; but they are not
to bo held responsible for the disjointed lucu
brations of every charlatan speculator, who
wishes to bring himself into notoriety by set
ting days or years for the Advent of out Sa
vior." Receipts and Exi-exmtiues of the Bap
tist Missionary Union- The donations and
legacies to the Babtist Missionary Union, up
to the close of the financial year, March 13th,
amounted to ?S-3,8-50.71, which, added to tho
sums placed at the disposal of tho Executive
Committee for specified purposes, by the
United States Government and co-ordinate
societies, swells the entire sum, in round
numbers, to $07 ,000. Tiiis amount is equal
to the sums actually paid out by the Treasurer,
and leaves the debt against tho treasury about
the same as the previous year $37,000. The
amount received into the treasury during the
month of March was $34,000.
The New Military Law. Under the new
Military law, passed at tho recent session of
the Legislature, tho militia enrollment is en
tirely dispensed with, and all volunteer com
panies parading, are all owed for every person
each day, not exceeding six times during the
year, one dollar and fifty cents per diem. In
addition to this, tho commanding officer of a
regiment may order tho companies composing
it out for an encampment parade, not exceed
ing six days, once during each year. This is
intended as an inducement to young men,
with military ardor, who cannot well allord to
lose the time for the indulgence of it.
Geography Ciucaco. Chicago is a bust
ling city. It was formerly in Illinois, but now
Illinois is in it. Lake Michigan is situated in
Chicago. The principal productions of Chi
cago are corner lots, statisticts, wind, the
democratic press and long John Wcntworth.
The population of Chicago is about sixteen
millions, and is "rapidly increasing." The
people are very unassuming and moral almost
too much so. Tho real estato dealers arc all
honorable men, like Brutus, and wouldn't tell
a lie for anything. Chicago is not in the
temperate zone, the habits of the people not
being at all in that way.
A fiightlul accident occurred upon the New
York Central Railroad on the morning of tho
11th. Two trains,running upon different tracks,
one of them at full speed, met upon the bridge
over tho Sauqno.it Creek, near Whitesboro.
The bridge gave way after the engines had
crossed, and the freight and passenger cars
were precipitated into tho creek and piled ono
upon tho other. Eight or ten persons wero
killed and between forty and fifty more or
less seriously injurred.
The Tigeon-Roost in Decatur county, Indi
ana, extends over a distanco of twenty eight
miles. It is about fourteen miles wide. The
birds have not nested at this roost for thirty
years until this spring. Over this vast extent
of country every trco has from ten to fifteen
nests, and every nest at least ono bird. The
young are now hardly able to fly,and the shoot
ing is mere slaughter. The old birds leavo
early in tho morning in search of food, and
return in the evening.
The Tremendous Crevasse opposito New
Orleans, in spite of all efforts of the pilo dri
vers, still continues in full force. The water
has overflowed some of tho grave-yard, and
the cement upon the tombs has been dissolved,
and the smell has becomo offensive. The wa
ter has been so impregnated with tho obnox
ious gases, as to poison tho fish around about
the diflercnt cemeteries.
The Trice of the coming Wool Clip. The
Ohio Cultivator for May 1, thus speaks of the
prices of the coming "Wool clip :
"The Wool buyers approach their work very
cautiously, and wo presume prices will open
some 8 or 10 cents lower than the ruling rates
of last year. Many of the Manufacturers need
to buy on time, on account of the difficulty of
negotiating their paper in Banks lor cash, as
formerly.
The actual receipts of tho U. S. Treasury
for tho quarter ending March 31st were, in
round numbers, $7,500,000 tho expenditures
$ 17,500,000 ! One of Gen. Jackson's sayings
was that those who trade on borrowed capital
ought to break, and as Buchanan's adminis
tration promises to leave the people a nico le
gacy of debt, tho sooucr it breaks the better.

Lancaster County. Miss Mary Culp, a
beautiful and accomplished young lady, was
drowned last week in the Little Chiques at
Mount Joy. She. in company with Miss Mary
McNeal, ventured out upon tho stream in a
skill. The boat, unfortunately, upsct,Jprecip
italing them into the creek, which, at that time,
owing to the recent rains, was quite swollen
and rapid. Miss McNeal caught at a limb and
supported herself until she was rescued. Af
ter dredging the stream for some time, Miss
Culp'sdead body was found with her arms clasp
de firmly around a floating log.and was loosen
ed with the greatest difliculty. . . . Tho Lan
caster Times says, on Wednesday, a young
man residing in the vicinity of the railroad
bridge, at the Conestog.i, attempted to jump
from the cars, as they arrived near that place.
The train was going at the rate of thirty miles
an hour, and when last seen, the young man
was firing down the embankment, performing
about" twenty-five evolutions to the minute.
Straps, dickey-strings and suspender buttons,
flew oil in everv direction. . . . The Wrights
ville Star savs, as Mr. M'Cunc ol Marietta, was
crossing Chestnut Hill, with a horse and bug
gy on Thursday evening last, he was stopped
oil the road by four men, and robbed of eleven
dollars, which happened, fortunately, to be all
the money he had about him at the time. It
is said that Marietta and Columbia are infest
ed at this time with a gang of scoundrels hail
ing from Elmyra, called "the Sharpers," who
came down as raftsmen, and arc playing their
avocation of gamblers, thimble ringers, pick
pockets and robbers, in the neighborhood
with a high hand. The same paper details
two other cases of robbciy at Columbia one
of a Mrs. Wilson, of that borough, of her
port raonnaie containing thirty-five dollars,
and the other a farmer, who came to town to
"sec the elephant," and who got a sight to the
tune of seven dollars, being relieved of that
amount at the circus.
Ixdiixa County. A son of Mr. Samuel
Dixon, of Blairsville, aged about G years, came
very near being drowned, on the oin last.,
while fishing near Treicu's Mill. By sonic ac
cident he fell over the wall near the dam and
bad sunk twice. and was about going down the
third time, when ho was rescued by some of
the men in the mill. But for this timely as
sistence ho would have been brought home a
corpse. . . . We learn, says tho Indiana Mci-
senser, lliai some tinio since, as a iiumuer oi
persons were engaged at work on the farm of
W. Hoovei, in East Mahoning township, they
discovered, under the roots of a tree or sap
ling, a large flat stone, upon which were inscri
bed the figures 171 1 ; and on removing the
stone, boues in a decayed istate, supposed to
be those of a human being, were discovered.
This section of country, according to the
most reliable history, was not settled by any
inteligent race of beings until many years af
ter the above date, and consequently we are
unable to give the name of the sculptor who
chisselcd the figures upon flic .stone ; nor can
we give or readers any information in relation
to the person whose remains were found moul
dering beneath. We give the facts as they
have been stated to us and leave the mystery
for others to solve. . . . On Monday morning
the 1 Ot It, a colored individual, named James
M'Ginty, in tho employ of John A. Jamison,
of Indiana, breathed his last, as was supposed
by all persons present. The necessary articles
were purchased by Mr. Jamison, and prepara
tions made lor his burial, when, to the surprise
of all present, it was discovered that the col
ored individual was not dead, but had been
lying in a trance for a couple of hours. The
preparations for a funeral at once ceased, and
the supposed dead man continued to revive to
such an extent that hopes are entertained of
his recovery.
Jeffekson County. On tho 3d inst. while
thegunners attached to flic Ringgold Artillery,
were exercising with their brass six-pounder,
a premature explosion occurred, tearing a
hand from Mr. Solomon Hoch, setting lilt; to
his clothes and otherwise injuring him. Tho
physicians cut of the hand above the wrist and
the patient is doing well. . . . The Brookville
Jeffersonian of the 13th says, an Irish woman
living in the suburbs of our town, who washes
and scrubs about town, and who is addicted to
tasting tho "crittur"' occasionally, partook
rather freely one day last week and fell beneath
the load before reaching home. Her good
natured husband met her, loaded her into a
wheelbarrow and conveyed her home. The
scene is described by those h ho witnessed it
as ludicrous.
Nokthus:ui:rland County. Tho Shamokin
Journal gives tho following notice of the
contemplated rolling-mill at Shamokin : This
rolling mill will contain two steam Engines
one of 120 horse power, and one of b'0, and
will have a capacity to manufacture 0000 tons
of iron per annum. The machinery will be so
arranged, as to turn out Railroad Iron of all
sizes, f rom -0 pounds up to 7-3 pounds per

GREAT DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.
IMPORTANT TO TORACCO CHEWERS.
r. (riixtap Litliiard't Ta-;.'ti l!e.t;,rative. Troches,
the Great Substitute for Tuh'ieeo. It is a well
known and inconfrovertable fact that the use of
Tobacco is the promoting cause of many of the
most severe MENTAL AND PHYSICAL disorders
to which the race of man is subject, as careful an
alasis and long and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it coutainsccrtnin narcotic and poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their cfficts,
which by entering into the blood derango tho
functions and operations of tho Heart, causing ma
ny to suppose that organ to be seriously diseased.
TOBACCO affects also she eut ire nervous system;
manifesting itself as all who havo ever used tho
noxious weed will bear testimony in Lassitude,"
Nervous Irritability, Water Brash. Dyspepsia, and
many other disorders of a similar character. Tho
'Taste Restorative Troches"' arc designed to coun
teract these baneful influences, and havo proved
completely successful in a multitude of cases, and
wherever used. Being harmless in themselves
they exert a beneficial effect upon tho cntiro sys
tem, restoring the Taste which has becomo vitia
ted or destroyed by great indulgence, complete
ly removing the irritation and accompanying tick
ling sensation of the Throat which are always
consequent upon abstaining from tho nse of To
bacco, and by giving a healthy tone to the Stom
ach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches immediately and throw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobacco
Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges aro put up in a con
venient and portablo form at the low price of 00
cents per Box. A liberal discount to the Trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned to whom
all orders should bo addressed.
