"THAT LETTZ2."
- It is really amusing to witness the twitching
and wriggling of some of our Democratic co-
temporaries since the publication of an extract
from Senator Bigler's letter of August, 1857,
to Secretary Stanton, in which the former
says "the Administration is a little weak at
the knees ami winces under tlte Southern
thunder." Our amiable neighbor of the Clear
field Republican take's it seriously to heart, in
his last paper, and seems to be slightly "riled"
because we published the extract. lie de
clares most emphatically that it was "a base
betrayal of confidence" on the part of some
body Secretary Stanton, we presume to
give' publicity to a private letter. 17011, it
may be very naughty and wrong for Mr. Sec
retary Stanton to do so, for aught we know ;
but at the same time it seems to us that Mr.
Bigler and his friends should be the last to
complain of such a "base practice" after the
scene that was Witnessed last winter In the IJ.
S. Senate, when he disclosed some important
arrangements that had been made at a "pri
vate" conference in the house of Mr. Donglas,
during the late Presidential campaign. Then
we couldn't hear a word from Democratic ed
itors about ."a base betrayal of confidence ;"
and we incline to the belief that their present
aversion Js only one of those trivial anom
alies that are apt to make their appearance in
the opinions of those who worship a human
idol. The genuineness of the letter is not de
nied by the Republican ; on the contrary, the
tone of its article must satisly any one that it
believes such a letter was written, and that its
author was "our own Bigler." It says, "Mr.
Bigler does not know whether he wrote the
extract or not ; for, regarding the note as con
fidential, he kept no copy." Be that as it
may, it is at least convenient to have a treach
erous memory just now. And as to his con
sistency on the Lecompton question, let fact?
speak for themselves. It is well known here,
as well as in other parts of the State, that du
ring the campaign of 18oG he assured the peo
ple that Buchanan and his party were in favor
of "Free Kansas." Last winter he and the
President did all they could for the Lecomp
ton swindle, which was designed to make a
Slave Stato out of Kansas. These facts are
too well Known to require comment. They
tell the tale ; and if we mistake not, about
this time there are others beside the Adminis
tration who are "a little weak at the knees and
wince under the Southern thunder," and they
needn't be surprised if before long they bear
some Northern thunder that will make the
whole Lecompton crew grolv still weaker at
the knee-joints.
Giixis Re-xomijated. An extra from the
Brookville Star informs us that on last Friday
the 20th inst., the Democratic Congressional
Conferees met in that place, and unanimously
re-nominated James Lccomption Gillis no
other candidate being presented. All the
counties, except Clearfield, were represented.
Resolutions were passed eulogizing Buchanan
and Packer ; advocating the admission of Kan
sas and Nebraska as States when they shall
Lave sufficient population to entitle them to
admission ; and endorsing Gillis and his course
in Congress. Brookville was designated as
the place, and the 2d Wednesday in August,
18G0, as the time for holding the next congres
sional conference.
The Administration organs remain dumb as
oysters concerning : the news from Kansas.
"Washington Union and Philadelphia Pennsyl
raniando not seem to be aware that there was

Th M'Kean County Bank, we learn by the
Potter County Journal, gave up the ghost a
few days ago. The cashier decamped with
$71,000 of its funds, was arrested in New
York, and committed in default of bail. The
bills of the bank have been thrown out in New-
York. Mr. Kingsbury, its president, says the
Journal, will secure the holders of its issue
against loss, being able and willing to do so.

ENGLAND AND AKE3ICA UNITED.
, THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE. '-
I mhniia, Jluznst 13, 1858. To the President
of the United States The Quecn;desires to
congratulate the President upon th successful
completion of the great international work, in
which the Queen has taken the deepest inter
est. The Oueen is convinced that thi Presi
dent will join with her in fervently hoping that j
me electric cable which now connects Great
Britain with the United States, will prove an
additional link between the nations, whose
lriendship is founded upon their common in
terest and reciprocal esteem. The Queen has
much pleasure in thus communicating with the
President, and renewing to him her wishes
for the prosperity of the United States.
THE PRESIDENT'S RESPONSE.
Washington, August 13, 1858. The Presi
dent cordially reciprocates the congratulations
of Her Majesty, the Queen, on the success of
the great international enterprize accomplish
ed by the science, skill and indomitable en
ergy of the two countries. It is a triumph
more glorious, because far more usefnl to
mankind, tnan was ever won by the conqueror
on the field of battle. May the Atlantic tel
egraph, under the blessing of Heaven, prove
to be a bond of perpetual peace and friendship
between the kindred nations, and an instru
ment destined by Divine Providence to diffuse
religion, civilization, liberty and law through
out the world. In this view, will not all the
nations of Christendom spontaneously unite
in the declaration that it shall be forever neu
tral, and that its communications shall be held
sacred in passing to the places of their desti
nation, even in the midst of hostilities ?
Mr. Buchanan wrote a letter to 3fr. English
to help him procure a. nomination in his dis
trict for re-election to Congress. Mr. English
read that letter, or what purported to be thtt
letter, to the nominating convention, and it
had its effect. The editor of the New York
Tribune published what ho said was the sub
stance of the letter. The New Albany Ledger
pronounces the Tribune's document a forgery,
and other Democratic papers cry out against
it as a forgery, but none of the Democrats,
though boldly and loudly defied, dare under
take to prove tl.e forgery by the publication of
the genuine letter. They fully admit the exis
tence of that letter and the fact of its having
been read by English, but they have not the
courage to produce it and let the world sec
what it really is. They know well, that,wheth
cr it does or does not consist of the precise
words given in the Tribune, it was such a let
ter as a President of the United States could
not, without exposing himself to deep shame
and disgrace, write to a partizau in a contest
for a Congressional nomination. We advise
all the Democratic organs to observe a death
like silence upon the subject of the alleged
forgery until they are prepared to let mankind
see what it was that their President ' actually
wrote. If the genuine letter were less infa
mous than the forgery so called, it would have
been forthcoming weeks and weeks ago. So,
if the President didn't write exactly what the
Tribune published, he wrote what was quite as
bad probably worse.
Three Children Picked it ix Lake Erie.
The Windsor Herald gives the following
particulars of the finding of three children
floating in Lake Erie, on Thursday last ; "Mr.
Owen was crossing from Sandusky to King
vine in a small schooner, when, about eight
miles from one of the islands, he fell in with
a boat containing three children, the eldest a
bout 11 or 12 a girl the others much smaller.
The boat was full of water, drifting before the
wind, and they up to their necks in water.
From being so long in the water they had be
come almost speechless, and were with diffi
culty freed from their hold on the boat. From
the oldest, Mr. Owen learned their names and
where they belonged, and kindly took them
home. From the father he learned that they
had been in the water from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m.
They had been seen in the boat in the morn
ing, shortly after which they were missing.
The father started in pursuit, .but failing to
nnu tuem, returned to the island.
A Paradise. InLewis lownship.Clay coun
ty, Indiana, they have a sort of foretaste of the
mihenium. It has within its limits one hun
dred and seventy families, all white except one
and they keep dark about it. There are one
hundred and sixty-five voters, and during the
last twenty years there has never been a fight
or quarrel at any election held in the township.
It contains seven school houses, seven road
di.itricts,seven bachclors.and seven lartre men :
three churches, three preachers, three pair of
iwin ooys, ttiree nddiers, three carpenters,
three post offices, three crazy men, and three
over seventy-five years old. There is not a
lawyer, doctor, or loafer in it, nor a grocery
nor a pauper. A better, friendlier, happier
population is not to do iouna in ttie State.
Cause op the Sioux and Chippewa War.
A woman it is said to have been the cause of
the protracted war between the Sioux and
Chippcwas. The two tribes were formerly
friendly and at peace with each other, until a
rupture took place at Yellow Lake, on the St
Croix. There, as the story goer, the tribes
met for a "tete-a-tete," and w hen they came
to separate, the wife of a noted Chippewa
Chief went off with a Sioux. The Chippewa
followed them, and killed the guilty pair, whom
he found sitting side by side. The friends of
the Sioux avenged his death, and there has
been war ever since. So much for Indians.
Alarming Fataut? . The Mobile Adverti
ser states that at Greenville, Mississippi, a
family of seven fell victims to the "milk sick
ness." Milk was a daily article of food in the
family, and they ignorantly continued the use
oi it after their cows had been attacked by the
prevailing disease, and there is no doubt that
an seven died from this cause. . '

Indiana Cocktt. The Young man named
George Stewart, who attempted to cut his
throat some three weeks ago, while afilicted
with the Typhoid Fever, died at tho residence
of his father, near Jacksonville, on the 13th,
from the effects of the fever and from the in
juries inflicted in the attempt to commit sui
cide. ... An old gentleman named .. Gasper
Miller, a resident of Saltsburg, this county,
was found drowned iu Laird's mill-dam on
the 10th. It is supposed that he voluntarily
drowned himself, from the fact that his hat
and cane were found on the shore of tho river.
He was a shoemaker by trade and a native ol
Germany. . I. On Monday evening the IGth.

Joseph J. Young, Esq., of Indiana borough fell
from a trve in the yard of Mr. Lichteberger,
to which he was endeavoring to attach a swing,
and his head coming in contact with the ground,
severe injuries were sustained. The skull was
not broken or fractured, however, and the
boy is recovering. . . . Jacob Faith, ot Kayne

Somerset County. The Barn of Mr. Daniel
Weaver, near the Qucmahoning bridge, was
struck by lightning dnring the storm on Tues
day evening the 10th. The electric fluid set
fire to the building, and it, with all its con
tents, was consumed. Mr. Weaver owns I wo
farms, and had just collected their products
into his barn including his oats and some
forty or fifty tons of hay when t he whole was
swept away forever. He lost no live stock by
the fire, but all bis horse gears, a thrashing
machine, and a number of farming imple
ments, were burned. His loss is about $2,-
500, on which he had an insurance of $'J0O
. . . On Tuesday the 10th, John Schneider, of
Quemahoning township, committed suicide
by cutting his throat. He had previously
made several attempts to destroy his life, but
had alwavs been caught in the act. 11ns time
he procured and old dull razor and hacked his
face and body most horribly, but could not
make it cut deep enough. Then by some
means he cot hold of a pocket knife and cut
his throat from ear to car. He had been Very
much addicted to the use of intoxicating
liquors. He was an unmarried man, about
tnirty-turee years ol nge.
Fayette County. A fatal and melancholy
accident occurred in Saltlick Township, by
which Mr. Christian Bnngard, lost his life.
On Monday, the loth, in company with his sou,
he repaired to the woods for the purpose of
felling some timber. He was standing close
by a tree which his son was felling, with an
axe on his shoulder, w hen the tree falling in a
contrary direction to what cither of them ex
pected, came crashing down, and striking Mr
B., crushed him to the earth, breaking his
legs, and sinking the axe into his head and
shoulder, causing almost instant death. The
deceased was an estimable citizen, and his loss
will be deeply felt by those who knew and
loved him best. ...
Crawford County. The project to form a

Warm Times in Illinois. The political
canvass in Illinois is getting somewhat warm,
and considerably personal. Mr. Lincoln and
Senator Trumbull are Mr. Douglas' opponents
on me stump, l he former recently charged
that Mr. Douglas, though now' proclaiming
popular sovereignty, really had conspired
wun me Administration to subvert the consti
tutional power of the States and establish
slavery over the land. Mr. Douglas, in a re
cent speech at Ueardstown, pronounced this
statement "an mlamous lie." Mr. Trumbull,
in his address to the people, made this charge
distinctly, and furthermore said, that to "the
man who does deny it, I will cram the lie down
his throat till he shall cry enough." Douglas,
in his reply, comes up to his work boldly, and
says :
"This charge was once made in a much
milder form, in the Senate of the United
states. I did brand it as a lie, in the presence,
of Mr. Trumbull and Mr. Trumbull sat and
heard it thus branded, without daring to say
that it was true. I tell you he knew it to be
false when he uttered it at Chicago, and yet
ne says mat ne is going to cram the lie down
the throat' of the man who denies it until he
should cry enough. The miserable craven
nearted wretch, he would rather have both
ears cut off than to use that language in my
presence where I could call him to account.""

THE GEEAT ISSUE..
When tho English bill was pending before
Congress Governor Walker made two predic
tions if the bill passed :: '
1st. That the Lecompson Constitution would
be rejected by an overwhelming majority of
the people ot Kansas, and of every county of
Kansas.
21. That the Territorial Legislature of Kan
sas, elected; in October next, upon its assem
bling next January, would call a Convention
of delegates to be chosen by the people ol
Kansas, which Convention would frame a
Constitution, and submit it to the vote of the
people for ratification or rejection ; that it
would be ratified by an overwhelming majori
ty of the people of Kansas, and submitted for
the action of Congress in December, 1859.
The first of those predictions is already veri
fied. The people of Kansas, by a majority,
it is believed, in every county, have rejected
tho Lecompton Constitution. The criminal
has been tried and condemned by the only
competant tribunal, the people of Kansas.
The charge of fraud, forgery, and perjury,
preferred by Walker and Stanton in the official
proclamations against Lecompton, have been
submitted to the electors of Kansas, and the
verdict of guilty and infamy has been render
ed. Who so bold as now to assert that the
Lecompton Constitution ever was the choice
of the people of Kansas 1 Who so reckless
as now to deny that Congress was asked and
urged by the Administration to force this
Constitution upou the people of Kansas a
gainst their will ? Nay, more to nialce it a
test of "Democracy, and ostracise all who would
not endorse these detestable frauds and f or
geries ?
Now, that first prediction of Governor Wal
ker as to the rejection of Lecompton has been
fully verified. But what as to the second?
Will they now proceed, without a census, and
frame a new Constitution and send it ratified
by the people of Kansas for the action ol Con
gress ? Wo think this will be done, thus
stamping with falsehood the pretence that the
people ol Kansas do not now desire to become
a State. And what then? Will Congress
admit them without a census showing the
population to exceed 1)3,000? They agreed
to admit them under the Lecompton Consti
tution with a fraudulent census, showing but
24,000 people ; and will they reject them when
having certainly a much larger population ?
Tiie restriction in the latter clause ot the
English bill is not binding upon this Congress,
much less upon the next; it can be repealed
or disregarded by Congress, and we have no
doubt Kansas will be admitted in 1850, if, the
people will do their duty in the coming elec
tions by voting for no man who favored the
forcing, without submission, the Lecompton
Constitution on the people . ol Kansas. Trust
no such men, whatever their present pledges
may be. They violated the most solemn pledg
es of the canvass of 1856 they betrayed their
constituents. They took the executiva boun
ty in 1858, and would do so again in 1S50.
Well, let us suppose a new Constitution with
out a census ratified by the people ol Kansas,
and accepted by Congress in 186'J. Will it re
ceive the sanction of tho President, or his
veto ? . We trust tho former, but fear tho lat
ter. The same disunion organs of the South,
whose threats and opposition drove the Presi
dent from his position in 1S5G and 1S57, and
caused him to abandon tho doctrine embodied
in his instructions to Governor Walker, we
fear will produce the like result in 1850. In
deed, this is said to be a part of the bargain.
And what next? Why, if the President veto
such a bill he will .renew the Kansas question
in its most distinct form ; he will make it the
direct issue of tho Presidential election of
1800, which must theu be decided by the A
mericin people. How it w ill be decided it
were insanity to doubt. Lecouiptonism and
Lecomptonites will bo swept beneath the sur
ges of populnr indignation, and they will share
(he fate which must ever await treason to self-
government, in every Republic w here- the peo
ple are enlightened and incorruptible. Press.
