FRAZER, of Fayette Co. D02TT LIKE IT. Our neighbor of the Clearfield Republican doesn't seem to like the "People's Party," its candidates or platform, and emits a copious ehower of epithets, prominent among which appear "mongrel," "renegades," "political bandits and hungry desperadoes." We were not altogether prepared to hear the editor of that paper indulge in low abase and billings gate, for usually he is rather polite and affable ; still we hare no disposition to restrict him in the enjoyment cf anything that may be genial to his tastes and natural inclinations. The way our amiable neighbor pitches into the nominees of the "People's Party," is real Jy terrific, and we wouldn't be at all surprised to hear of something dreadful happening them, after such dire condemnation. And yet, we think, this abuse smacks considerably of "sour grapes." Like poor KeynarJ with the rich, tempting clusters, when he finds that he can not get them, the editor of the Republican pro nounces these men poor aSairs. We are at a loss to account for this apparent aversion to "renegades" on the part of the Republican, and its bitter complaint about "empty honors" be ing bestowed upon them, when this slame class of individuals finds the highest favor with the President it worships and upholds. Joseph R. Chandler, who wrote more against the Demo cratic party than any man in the State, bos been appointed Minister to Rome by Mr. Bu chanan ; Wm. B. Reed, who was famous for Lis opposition to Francis R. Shunk, is Minis ter to China; and John Cadwalader, who was extremely bitter in his enmity lo Gen. Jack son, received an appointment as U. S. Judge. Others might be named, but these will suffice to show what "pure and nndefiled" material may be found in the so-called Democratic par ty, and how they are treated there. And we would humbly suggest that the home organ of Buchanan's "right bower," out of respect for the feelings of this particular portion of its as sociates, hereafter exercise a little forbearance ia tho use of the term "renegades." The editor of the Republican, thinks that he ought to be "grateful for the high compliment paid to the Democratic rarty, by the opposi tion," who, he alleges, are "endorsing some of the principles of governmental policy which have always been part of our (the aforesaid editor's) standing faith," and ia a tone of un disguised admiration he proceeds to ennmer ale them. In the very next paragraph, how ever, he declares that "Altogether the plat form of this 'People's Party' is like the mate rials that composed the Convention, a mass of incongruities ; and as a 'foundation' for any thing practical is even worse than were in their day either the American, the Republi can," &c- Come, it won't do to boast of the "principles which have always been part of your standing faith," in one breath, and in the next condemn them as "a mass of incongrui ties" and as being impracticable, and for no other reason, perhaps, than, as yon assert, that the Opposition have been "endorsing, adopt ing," or a? you add with classical refinement, "stealing" them ! And now a few words about tho platform. It asserts that the sovereign rights of the peo ple and their liberties, as well as the Union and the Constitution, must be preserved ; pro tests against the attempt to crush the popular voice in Kansas, and denoences the reckless and profligate extravagance of the National Administration ; declares that the purity of the ballot box should be preserved at all haz ards; that laws prohibiting the introduction of foreign criminals should be promptly enact ed ; and that the Industrial Interests of the country should be adequately protected. Is there anything in that platform that good A merican citizens cannot endorse 1 Is it not liberal and patriotic? Does it not oppose wrong and uphold right and justice ? Does it not condemn the miserable mismanagement of our governmental affairs ; and advocate the protection of our own manufacturers, mechan ics and laboring men our coal, iron, farming and other interests J And if there is any thmg anti-American, anti-Republican, or anti-Democratic in that platform, according to the true and literal meaning of those terms, we should like to know wherein it consists. A Mistake. We see an item going the rounds to the effect that IT. B. Swoope, Esq., ia the People's candidate for State Senator in the Cambria, Blair and Clearfield District. This is a mistake. Mr. Swoope is not a can didate for State Senator. He was the Senato rial Delegate to the State Convention, and this has doubtless been confounded with a nomina tion for the State Senate. Mr.S. assures ns that he is not an aspirant for that or any other office that he intends to devote his attention at this time exclusively to hu professional business. A Change. R. F. Ward, Jr., has withdrawn from the Clearfield Republican, and that paper is now under the sole charge of the senior ed itor, Jas. H. Larrimer, Esq. Our best wishes attend both gentlemen. UTAH AFFAIRS. The letters of our special correspondent in Utah, says the X. Y. Tribune of the 30th July, contain full and interestizg details of the sayings and doings in thai city and its vicinity down to July 3, which is the latest date of any accounts yet received from Utah. The army marched through Great Salt Lake City on Saturday, the 25th of Jnne, the city still remaining deserted, the houses unoccupi ed, the windows boarded np, and the few male inhabitants left to guard the houses and tend the gardens keeping within doors, and affect ing to take no notice of what was going on. On the other hand, the army was equally non chalant, since no notice was taken of and no salute paid to Gov. Cumming, who alone of the householders ia the city stood out on his porch to pay doe honor to the spectacle. . A part from this rather gloomy reserve on both sides, everything was conducted with the greatest decorum. The soldiers were kept strictly lo their ranks, and there was no cheer ing nor laughing. In fact there does not ap pear to have been much to cheer at, and still less to laugh at, except the army had taken to laughing at itself, and the contrast between this quiet entry into Salt Lake City and the triumphant march if not the bloody fight and glorious victory which had been so fondly counted oa and so conSJently expected. The army merely passed through the city, and crossing the river Jordan by a bridge, encamped five miles off in a dusty pasture. No soldier was allowed to recross this bridge without a written permission. After remain ing in this camp over Sunday and Monday, the army marched on Tuesday to a point twen ty miles southward followed by poor Chief Justice Eckels, who had found it utterly im possible to get lodgings in the city except at Marshall Dotson's, whose small house of two rooms and a pantry was already occupied by twenty-one lodgers. All the ether Gentiles who had followed the army were in the same predicament, no lodgings to be had for love or money, and board only at the Church Eating-house at the rather costly rate of three dollars a day. These gentlemen were begin ing to realise the wisdom of the old proverb as to tli e great difference between leading a horse to the water and compelling him to drink. The army has entered the valley of the Salt Lake, the civil officers are there, the Mormons havo promised submission to the laws but ilormonism is as rampant and the influence of Brigham Young as potent as ever. No sooner has the army gone than Brigham turns up again, followed a day or two after ly bag and baggage, wives and children. The boards come down from the windows, and Salt Lake City was beginning to be active. The next mail will bring us, we suppose, an account of Brigbara Young's Fourth of July sermon and oration. Meanwhile, Gov. Cumming has been taking steps to rid himself of that portion of the civil officers who do not sympathize with his conciliatory system of action. This fact has come to the knowledge of these gentlemen, and though the attractions of Utah as a place of residence would not seem to be very great, at least to persons of their turn of mind, it has produced a good deal of commotion among them. This application will doubtless be suc cessful, if, indeed, as is very probable, it has not been anticipated already. There is one statement of our correspondent which merits special attention. Much as the Mormons stand ia need of religious enlightenment, they have never been visited by a Christian mis sionary of any sort, except, indeed, an agent or pretended agent of the Bible Society, who turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Even the army sent to sustain the cause of religion and morality is unattended by a chap lain. Cheap Postage. Mr. Vice President JJreck enridge has taken the stump in Kentucky, and is attempting to justify the iniquities of the Buchanan administration. He also advocated a high rate of postage, stating that the defi ciency of three millions in the Post Office De partment was the consequence of not raising the rates of postage. If yoa want the post of fice department to pay expenses, said he, you must raise the postago to such a price as will do it. So, then, we may consider the Demo cratic party as fairly committed to the task of raising the rates of postage. What will the people think of Mr. Breckenridge's suggestion? The old and erroneous idea that the whole region of the Rocky Mountains North of the 40th parallel is a sterile region, presenting an almost unbroken field, is completely refuted by Gov. Stevens' exploration. One of the of ficers of his party, Lieut. Saxton, says in his report : "I find that my previous ideas of this Rocky Mountain range are, so far as this sec tion is concerned, entirely erroneous. Instead of a vast pile of rock, and mountains almost impassable, I find a fine country, well water ed by streams of clear cold water, and inter spersed with meadows covered with a most luxuriant grass." The Xorth .American publishes an odcial re port of an investigation into the affairs of the Tioga county, Crawford county, Shamokin, Pbcenixville, and Octoraro banks of this State, five new concerns chartered by the legislature of 1SG7. They all seem to have been used to subscribe to the capital stock of another. A party of Buffalo speculators figure as the con trivers of the scheme. President Buchanan has appointed John Nugent, editor of the San Francisco Herald, an agent to prevent collisions between our citizens in the Frazer river gold region and the British authorities. JIocsehold Words. A change has taken place ia the publishers of this interesting pe riodical. Fredk. A. Brady, 126 Nassau St., New York, is the new publisher. E2?See advertisement for Ascents- in anoth er column, headed. "The Greatest Bio of the Age." AS IMPOETAJTT DECISION. In our last we pablished 'the opinion of the Supreme Court ia reference to the laying of a school tax for building purposes. There was another case from this county, which also in volved a point of the most direct interest to our people, viz : what constitutes a sufficient j delivery of timber 1 The case to which we allude was an action of Replevin, broug&t by the firm of Ralston & Beatty against John M. Chase, to recover two rafts of square timber which they had purchased from Daniel Bnt ton, and after stamping it with their marking hammer, permitted it to remain upon the prem ises of Britton." The constable levied upon and sold it as the property of Britton, under an execution issued by John 31. Chase, who purchased it at the sale. The question was, we believe, whether or not the marking of the timber was a sufZIcient delivery as against an execntion creditor. Judge Burnside held that it was, unless the Jury could believe lrom the evidence that the contract between Ralston & Beauty and Britton was made to hinder and de lay the creditors of Britton. Ralston & Beat ty recovered the value of the timber, and a writ of error was taken ti the Supreme Court, where the opinion of Judge Burnside has been sustained, and the judgment affirmed. The case was argued by IT. B. Swoope, Esq., for Ralston & Eeatty, and W. A. Wallace, Esq., for John M. Chase. It is an important deci sion for this region, involving a point which might have seriously affected the business of the county. If we can procure a copy of the opinion, and it is cot "too lengthy, we will publish it. The New Gold Excitement. Since the davs when the grandees of Old Spain looked npon the continent of America as a land of goul, and the love of wealth made them forget their family pride, and the time when Sir Wal ter Raleigh risked his life on the broad Atlan tic to visit the western Eldorado not in a steamship or a modern clipper ship-from these times to to-day this continent has been sulyect to the best kind of yellow jacks, name ly l'i fevers. California has been made by one, and no sooner do we see her rising a pros perous State, and able as it were to walk alone, without the stimulus of gold washing, than a new field is opened up for the restless miner, and gold in plenty is discovered far north on the Pacific Coast. Thousands have left Cali fornia for the new gold field, which is in the valley of the Frazer river, in the British pos sessions, flowing from the Rocky Mountains into the Gulf of Georgia. There would seem t be no humbug ia the excitement, and the gold discovered has been really astonishing, many miners report having collected almost fabulous quantities of gold. The Hudson Bay Company have the control ot this portion of the country, an! e are inclined to think that the discovery of gold in their territory, and consequent enormous immigration, wiil do more to break up this disracefnl monopoly than all the Reports which the British House of Commons have been making for the same purpose during the last few years. The Indians who inhabit the district belong to the Chinook tribe, and are already familiar with the whites from their intercourse with British aud French trappers, and will no doubt prove of valuable assistance to the miners. We also see that some English capitalists propose to make a great Pacific Railroad in connection with the Grand Trunk ot Canada, and their surveyors are already ia the field planning the line from Lake Superior through this same territory to Vancouver's Island in the Pacific Ocean. This will increase the value of the gold mines, and render the journey there easy. Imagine the Great Eastern to Portland, railroad to Mon treal, crossing the Victoria Bridge, from thence by boat and rail to the Pacific only seven thousand miles by steam throagh the finest scenery in the world, and over the greatest engineering triumphs mankind has ever seen. Truly America and England are great coun tries, and the people rather go-a-head. A Disgraceful Revelation. The Mobile Register contains a letter written by Walker, the great Filibuster, in which there "is a state ment of an intrigue on the part of our Gov ernment that seems almost incredible. It is neither more or less than a conspiracy against the jteace of a neighboring Nation, endanger ing the peace of our own, and which, had it been successful, would have placed ns in a most damaging and unjustifiable position be fore the world. Walker's story is that he and Henningsen were urged by Mr. Secretary Floyd to turn their attention to Mexico, and to enter into the service of Comonfort, with the understanding "that while in the Mexican service we might by some act, such as tearing down the flag of Spain, bring about a war be tween Mexico and Spain, and Cuba might then be seized by the former power." In this operation Walker says they were promis ed not only the support and protection of the U. S. Government, but Money from the Fed eral Treasury to carry it out ! The Washington Union denied this story at first ; but now that it is repeated circumstan tially, with the authority for it,we fancy it will be found more difficult of contradiction than when it appeared solely on Walker's authority. Unless positively and circumstantially denied this detailed report of the conversation be tween Secretary Floyd and Gen. Henningsen will be regarded as not only convicting the Administration of the most marked dupficity toward the filibustering chicl, but also of entertaining most dishonorable designs upon a neighboring republic with which we were professedly on entirely amicable terms. As to poor Floyd, himself, who seems to be tho chief actor in all the discreditable tricks and sly plots of the Administration, there seems to be no chance for escape, unless by utterly discrediting the authors of these disclosures, and even proving that he never had any private interviews with either of them. This he cannot do. Henningson's story carries probability on its face. It turns ont that Captain De Riviere, the im pudent and indefatigable foreigner of large pretensions, who has lately distinguished him self by running away from Mobile with the wife and daughter of a wealthy lawyer, is the identical Signor Don P. L. De Morete, who turned the heads of all the Chicago belles a year ago, bought a thousand dollar horse with borrowed money, got np a magnificent excur sion to Hyde Park, which was patronized by the wives of a distinguished Senator and a well-known Chicago lawyer, and finally becom ing suspected, vamosed for parts unknown, leaving behind a large number of anxious cred itors, broken hearted young misses, with mor tised and disappointed mamas, an astonished city, half a dozen happy local newspaper re porters, and two trunks filled with dirty linen and cravats. The Washington Union boasts that the af fairs of the Government are going on like clock-work. Oh yes, they are going oa tick, tick, tick. G0I3JG TO GLASGOW FOE ISOK. The developement of the fact that the na tional administration has sent to Glasgow for $2-30,000 of water pipes for the Washington Aqueduct, when they could have been had cbeajer in Pennsylvania, is awakening a feel ing of bitter indignation ia eastern Pennsyl vania. Throughout the varions iron counties of the State the furnaces and foundries are idle, and such a job as this would have given them partial employment; but an administra tion that knuckles to Great Britain ia the matter cf the right of search, must carry its treachery to the country to the utmost limit, and add to the sufferings of our mechanics by sending abroad fur what could have been bet ter made at home. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Xorfh '.American gives the facts as follows : "Six thousand tons of cast iron pipe were wanted to supply the city of Washington with water. Congress made the necessary appro priation, (one of the inducements being to supply mechanics with work during the pres ent dell times,) proposals were invited and a day fixed for their reception. When all were in, then was brought to bear certain influences which are only kaown ia Washington. It was necessary that the successful bidder should be a democrat ; in fact this was abso.utely essen tial, so that the faithful might be the recipi ents of democratic money. Besides which, a person who is cot strictly entitled to a con tract, and yet receives it, is expected to pay his friends. Under this process, bids from responsible parties, legitimately engaged in the making of pipe, were rejected as informal several i's aud a few t's not being dotted or crossed and the contract awarded at a higher price, to a gentleman ia this city, who, by the directory, is a brass and iron founder, Lombard street below Willow, where in a building 40x-30 feet, he carries oa both pro fessions. Now, it is as well known at Wash ington as here, that a brass andiron founder is not necessarily a maker of iron pipes; that many of our largest iron founders never make them, aad the recipient cannot be charged with being in the business, or intending to go into it. The contract being duly signed, sealed and delivered and the Pencsylvanian and Argus having duly announced in their columns, "3ore York for Philadelphia, merhtiu ict," the job is quietly transferred tpjsitish soil, and the $250,000 that would haw cone much to benefit our coal and iron miners, and our blast furnace men. and iron founders, and also onr coasting vessels in transportation to Washington, wiil be expended ia building up our rivals in England. When our own gov ernment goes abroad for its water pipe, when offered to I hem by American founders at a less price, how can we expect foreijrn governments to come here ? It we ignore the lact that our iron has been pronouueed superior to theirs, (by competent authority) can we expect them to appreciate it ? The injury done to us as a nation by this trick of our democratic govern ment cannot be estimated bv millions." Expexsive Admisistratiox. The follow ing figures go to show that the charge of "ex travagance" brought against Mr. Buchanan's Administration, is sot without foundation in truth : Balance in Treasury 1st July, 1857,according to Cobb's re port. . 17,710,111 27 Receipts first quarterfroroCus toms, Lands and Miscella neous Sources 20,029.819 81 Receipts second quarter. .

They are no longer su! ject to doubt. Almost one hundred and four millions in sixteen months ! Where has it gone ? Who has got it? What has become of the $104,000,000 ? That is the real question, and a categorical re ply will be more appreciated than a hundred disquisitions on retrenchment. Who has cot theSlOI.OfO.OOO? "Me A5D the Kixg." Did any of our rea ders ever observe particularly the Sola Bene to "'our own Montgomery's" letter to Enoch South ! Here it is : "Send it (the whiskev,) to James Buchanan, Esq., care of the Hon. Wm. Montgomery," &c. This reminds us of the hack driver in New York who was sent by his employer to drive lord Morpeth a few miles into the country. When he reined np at the St. Nicholas his lordship was standi!?? on the step. "Where isthe feller," inquired the man in the livery, "who's goin' out in Mr. C.'s car riage ? "I suppose its intended for me," re plied the English lord. "Well," added the driver, "jump in, I'm the Gentleman as is to drive you." H'ashinston Republic. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Washington City under date cf Aug. 1st, says : A prominent Western poli ticiaa is about to make a fall and clear expose of the secret appliances and inducements em ployed by Mr. Buchanan and his agents t& car ry the English Kansas bill. He knows where of he affirms, and will place not only the Ad ministration but its Congressional converts from anti-Lecomptonism, especially the Ohio gentlemen, in a most unenviable light. I do not think be can now be silenced it is too late. CALiroxiA.The Frazer river gold excite ment continues unabated. The reports from there have become fabulous in their character One letter writer, vouched for ia the San Francisco papers as reliable, says that his first day s work was seven hundred dollars. Vic toria was crowded with Americans, who had run np the price of building lots to $20,000. The Hudson Bay company are buying gold at $1-5 per ounce. The Indians had commenced molesting the emigrants on their road to the mines. A Case of Persevere?!

The thief was traced to Lancaster, arrooto.i i , ... .hii,u, a iM imprisoned at York. The horse was found in the possession of Nathan Meads, of Baltimore county, Maryland. DorGLAj Backs Oct.

PZSHSYLVA5IA IIE2CS PREPARED FOR THE "RAFTSMAS's JOCRXAL." Indiana Cocstt. On Tuesday night, July 20th, the door of T. White & Co's. store, west of the depot, in Indiana, was forced open and the goods in the store were tossed about. Tte object of the burglars evidently was to get muney ; for they rilled the drawer f its con tents. The clerk having in the evening re moved all the money except some small change, they got bet a trifling amount. It is not known that any goods were carried otf On the same night, the dwelling of Mr. Hacx hurst, at the paper mill, was entered, probably by the same rascals ; but the fellows did not succeed in stealing anything, as they were frightened od by some of the family On the 23d, while W. II. Coleman, Esq., aud George Hamilton were engaged weatberboard iog at the dwelling of Dr. St. Clair, in Indi ana, the scaffolding broke and precipitated them to the ground, a distance of about 16 feet, bruising the Squire on the shoulders and back, from which he suffered considerably, but is now recovering. Mr. Hamilton received no injury of any account Oa Wednes day night, the 21st, some burglars succeeded in getting into the store of Mr. Kelly, in She locta, and carried o3" several suits of ready made clothing and some twenty-fire or thirty dollars in money. Cambria Cocstt. The locofocos of Cam bria County will have two tickets in the field this fall, the one already nominated being ob jectionable to a portion or the party John Quinn, eldest son of Mr. Thomas Quinn, met with a serious accident, on Monday after noon the 29ih. Young Quinn it appears, was employed as fireman on the old "Concmaugh," a locomotive at present owned an 1 used by the Cambria Iron Company. His foot slipped and came under the locomotive wheel cutting it very badly A miner by the name of John Smith was so unfurt mate as to have one of his legs broken in one of the Company's coal-banks, on the Goth. Dr. Ye3gley set the broken limb and the man is doing well. Mifflin CorxTT. E. C. Freeburn, for a number of years a resident of Lewistown, met with an accident on the 22d July, oa one of the farms of James Burns, Est., which termi nated fatally on Saturday. He was endeavor ing to prevent a wagon loaded with grain from tilling over, but was drawn along with it and fell with great force, breaking both amis above the wrists and no doubt sustaining internal in juries which resulted as above. He was about 45 years of age. ... Two colored men, named Hawkins and Scott, employed at the National House, Lewistown, got into an altercation on the 24th, during which Scott ran an ice break er, an instrument somewhat like a butcher's steel, into Hawkins' shoulder, creating an ugly wound. Scott was committed to jail." Westmoreland Cor5TT- On the 20th July, Mr. Robert Birnett, of Allegheny township, met with a horrible death. He ha 1 taken a pauper to the poor house, and was on Lis way home, in a state of intoxication, unable to drive his horse. It is supposed that he fell forward out ofthe vehicle, and his feet became entangled in the shatts and front axle. In this condition he must have been dragzed over 4 miles, when the horse wanderedfnto the woods, and was there discovered next morn ing. Mr. Barnett was so frightfully disfigured and mangled that tor some time he was not recognized, lie was about 70 years of aire. What a death! Clistox Cocstt. On the night ofthe 27th July, the "Leckport Hotel." opposite Lock Haven, the property of R. M. Hannah, was de stroyed by fire. Very few things were saved. The loss wiil probably reach $5,000 On the 2Cth, the dry brush in the clearing on Dr. Lichtenthaleir's farm, near Lock Haven, was being burned, when the fire spread at a furious rate, destroj ing some fifteen hundred cords of wood, and fences, causing a loss of about $3, 000. .... A young man named John Geise was thrown from a stage coach on the 23d, and had one of his legs lracturcd in a frightful manner. Armstrong Cocxtt. Jacob Snow, of Bra dy's Bend township, hung himself on the 22d. by a strap attached to a rafter in the loft of las father's house A son of Philip Hon- ser, of Manor township, had his foot nearly severed from his leg by stumbling on a scythe blade A fire company is being organi zed in Kittaaning. .... The Lutheran Church in Kittanning will be dedicated on the 6th of August Messrs. Putney", of Putney vilie, had their valuable mill property consumed by fire a few days since. No iDsnr'snce. The fire caught from friction of the gearing. Centre CorxTT. On the 23tu, while several sporting gentlemen were engaged ia fishing with a seine in the waste-weir, below Belie fonte, two of them, Mr. C. Derr and Mr. Cun ningham, were drawn into the vortex and nar row ly escaped drowning. Mr.Derr.we are told was speechless for some time after the occur rence A daughter of Rev. M. P. Crosth- waite, of Spring Mills, was a few days since severely bitten by a snake. A physician was immediately called in, who stopped the effect of the poison in time to save the life of the suCerer. JIf.rcer CorxTT. An indignation meeting was held in West Salem on the 10th, growing out of the attempt to release noted criminals from the county jail. Strong resolutions were adopted. A vigilance committee was organi zed to look after the scoundrels. Ccmderlaxd CorxTT. A little daughter of Mr. John Shunk, of Hogestown, aged about 3 years, was so severely bnrned, a "few days since, by her clothes taking fire, that she died w ithin a few hours of the time the accident occurred. Bradford Cocxtt. George White, a voung German aged about 19 years, was drowned while bathing in the river at Towanda. His body was recovered a few hours afterward near the spot where ho disappeared. Mr. Rarey's career has unexpectedly been stopped. He had cleared some 15,000 to 20,000 by his horse-taming secret, when sud denly Routledge, the cheap publisher, cot hold of a pamphlet published by the horse tamer in America, and printed it." It contains in a small compass all the art of horse-taming; and the subscribers, w ho had bound themselves not to divulge the secret under a penalty of 500, became furious, and Mr. Rarey had to release them from their pledge in a letter in the Times. In this letter he states that the pamphlet in question is one he published m Ohio some years since, w hen his system was not perfect, and that more will be learned from his practical lessons ia one hour than from th book in a life time.
