CLEARFIELD, PA , OCT. 27, 1858.
A CUXINAET GRIEVANCE.
The art of living is beyond all question, one
of the most important subjects that could bo
submitted to the human mind. Too little at
tention is paid to it, especially in the United
States not only in eating too often and too
much, but as regards the preparation of food.
Nor do we expect that a reform will soon be
- effected in this particular ; for we are well s-
ware that reformers receive, as a general thing.
but poor treatment at the hands of the public
in this "fast" age. At the risk, however, of
being called an intermeddler and a busy-body,
we intend grumbling a little, if you choose so
to call it, about a grievous, or, perhaps, more
properly speaking, a greasy wrong, which we
as a people are laboring under. This "uni
versal YanWee .nation' of ours is, we know
considered a rather slippery affair ; but if there
is any truth in the aphorism, viewed in an un
limited meaning, that "like produces like,'
then, indeed, are we in danger of becoming
an oleaginons race, and representatives of the
'Oily Gammon" tribe in a more literal sense
than Sam. Warren intended the cognomen of
that hopeful individual should convey. What
we mean is, that we eat too much fat meat and
oily food, generally ; and, we think, we are
more likely, at some future period, to find our
selves metamorphosed into a "monument of
grease," than, like Lot's wife," into a pillar
of that preservative article, commonly called
Bait. No one can fail to observe that an im
mense quantity of grease of one sort or an
other is used in cooking now-a-days. Nearly
every kind of "rich" cake is saturated with
butter the most delicious pastry, forsooth, is
filled with it your fowls, when brought to the
table, are swimming in a little ocean of fat
your eggs and potatoes are fried in it till they
lose their distinctive tastes your lettuce and
other vegetables emit an intensely oily flavor
in short, grease varied, but interminable meets
our gaze as yon scan the endless array of
modern dishes that are placed before men,
women and children to gratify their vitiated
appetites. And then comes your fat meat
pork, &c, the very quintessence of scrofula
the germ of dyspepsia the first cause of
half "the ills that flesh is heir to." And as
all the different forms in which grease is used,
present themselves to our imagination, we in
voluntarily pray, "From such, good lord, de
liver us," and onr stomach utters a hearty
"amen" to it. The ancients, it is well known,
abstained, to a great degree, from fat moats,
and there is little doubt that to this habit were
they more or less indebted for their vigorous
constitutions and minds, and for their compar
ative freedom from scrofulous and infectious
diseases. And it seems to us that we could
profit by their example. If we would eat mere
light food, rice, puddings, &.c.,--and fewer
rich, or rather, greasy victuals, and instead of
placing inexperienced, uncultivated, unskillful
Dutch and Irish in our culinary departments,
we would elevate the standard and procure
persons who had correct ideas of health and
diet, we would bo individually benefitted, and
the race, instead of degenerating, would soon
be immeasurably improved.
Thk Industrial Interests. .The result of
the late election, says Frentice, looks as if the
work-shops, theeoundries aud the shipyards
wore to Lave a larger representation in the
next Congress than tho trading politicians.
Wben the people declare against such men as
Glancy and Owen Jones, Fhiliips, Groesback,
Dewart, Lcidy and others who have adhered
to party in preference to national interests,
and bartered the good of their constituents for
personal or partizan advancement, we may
hope that a movement has been made in the
right direction toward breaking up that com
bination which has basely betrayed the coun
try on all the vital questions affecting its in
dustry and business. The plow, loom and an
Til are to have a voice in the capitol to the ex
clusion of mule contracts, swindling purcha
ses of military sites, and reckless appropria
tions of public lands in payment of profligate
jparty services.
Keitt has been making another speech in
South Carolina, breathing tho warmest devo
tion to Buchanan. "Occasional" writes to
the Press that this fact shows that Buchanan
has succeeded in accomplishing what Old
Hickory never ecu Id do adopting a policy
exactly suited to the tastes of the nullifiers of
that State ! This is one of the few things in
which Buchanan has turpatsti Jackson !
As Interesting Experiment. Mr. Glancy
Jones appeared to be so confident of re-election
that he actually said he vat going to run
only to show Mr. Buchanan how easy it vras to be
elected a an Administration Democrat. The
result of (his interesting experiment is , told
by the offiaial returns.
Judge Porter has in a pet resigned his seat
on the Supreme -Bench, because the people re
jected bim at the recent election. This act
betrays a great deal of bitterness and regret,
and indicates less self-possession and sober
ness of mind than we thought he possessed.

New Orleans, from the 27th June to the. 9th of

OUT OF HUMOR.
Our usually complacent and pacific neighbor
of the Clearfield Republican has "got his mad
op," and in his last issue pitches into ns in a
truly terrific style. He seems to be as irascible
as a pet child that has lost some cherished toy
"As peevish, cross and splenetic.
As dog distract, or monkey sick ;" . '
and, in the pitiful objurgations he indulges in,
makes allegations against us which are far from
squaring with the truth. His article contains
so many misrepresentations of such a palpa
ble character, that we do not think it worth
while to allude to them in detail. We give
the following, however, as a sample :
"Scarcely a number of the Journal has been
issued for the last two months that does not
contain some abuse and malignant slander up
on the private character of some distinguished
democrat; of this, however, Senator Bigler
comes in for the largest share."
Je-e-whil-li-kins ! I ! That would be really
"orful" if it happened to bo true. But as
the charge is false, it does'nt amount to much.
The editor of the Republican cannot point out
a single instance in which we have uttered a
"malignant slander upon the private character"
of any of his political idols. We have dealt
only with the public character of men who
have taken an active part in the campaign.
If, in doing this, we hare rubbed up any sore
spots, we cannot help it, nor do we regret it ;
nor will we in future be deterred from expo
sing the duplicity and misdeeds of any politi
cal charlatan, be he even "some distinguished
democrat" who has monopolized the entire ad
miration of our neighbor of the Republican,
and to say aught against whom may be con
sidered an unpardonable offence a species of
moral treason. As to the Republican dealing
"generously" with candidates, the base attack
made in that paper on Michael A. Frank, Esq.,
on the eve of the election, so late that there
was no opportunity of replying, shows how
much truth that declaration contains. Still
we can m:ke great allowance for the plaintive
fanfaronade of our neighbor just now, when
he is laboring under tho depressing and dis
tracting effects of an unexpected and most
signal defeat.
There is a contemptible class of individuals,
known as toadies, whose principal aim in life
seems lo be to hang around, admire and flatter
men who may happen to bo prominent in the
community. A few days since, one of these
"posies" wanted to know "what right tho edi
tor of the Journal had to say anything about
Senator Bigler !" just as if we had not the
privilege of commenting upon the public acts
of a public man. What beautiful specimens of
liberality and good sense these toadies are!
Do they imagine that Clearfield county is a lit
tle kingdom and Mr. Bigler a little king, of
whom we, or no one else, dare speak without
special permission from them 1 It they do,
they are sadly mistaken. When a man is a
public character, his acts, as such, are public
property, which even the most humble citizen
has the right of inspecting; nor can he reach
such a great altitude as to be beyond the reach
of free discussion. Mike Walsh, a noted New
i"ork Democrat, graphically, though somewhat
irreverently, illustrated this idea when he
said that, "in this country, every man is as
good as every other, and a d-d sight better."

The McKean Citizen says that in Eldred
township 82 votes cast for Frank and Arthurs,
were not returned. By adding these to Mr.
Frank's vote, as above, it will leave a majority
of but 320 for Boyer in the District. Altho'
it is to be regretted that Mr. Frank is not e-
lected, yet it is gratifying to know that he was
beaten only 201 votes in Clearfield, where the
Democratic majority is usually 600 or more.
It may not be inappropriate also to re
mark here that the Independent candidate for
Sheriff, Mr. James Irwin, Sr., run a vote of
which he has reason to be proud, the majority
against him being but 370.
A new law, it seems, has been established in
York county. In one district, tho names of
a couple candidates were "scratched" off the
tickets. The election officers decided that
pencil marks were not lawful, and accordingly
counted the tickets. This is one way of com
pelling men to vote for a candidate whether
they will or not. A little "scratching" a
round of the brains of the officers might give
them proper ideas of their duty.
The Tariff xsd the Democracy The
Richmond South has an article on the subject
of "duties on iron," in which it takes bold
ground agaist tho cherished policy of its allies
in Pennsylvania, and informs them that they
shall reeeire na aid from the universal De
mocracy. It adds :
"If we know anything of Democracy, the
party will not, for a moment, entertain a pro
position to impose additional duties on iron."
Mr. Buchanan asserts his intention to "pre
serve the unity of the Democratic Partv, cost
what it may." i Vermont he has reduced
the party to one Democratic Senator, and in
Pennsylvania ho ha but one uncontested!

SESIGKATI0N OF JUDGE POKIER.
Philadelphia, Oct. 10, 1S58.
His Excellency William F. Packer Governor
of Pennsylvania Dear Sir: : On the first day
of your entrance on official duty, I received
from your hand a commission as a Judge of
the supreme Court of 1 ennsvlvama. The
event then considered possible, nerhaos I
should say probable, has just been realized.
I have little to say of the means w hich produc
ed it. On receiving the appointment I thought
that, being a Judge, actually sitting on the
bench and deciding on the rights ol men of
all shades of political opinion, I ought not
tow-rite a political letter, nor make a political
speech, lu the first place. I was not willing
to hide with my claims to the oflice, however
small, in the shadows of a mere political ques
tion. In the next place, I was and I am
thoroughly convinced, by reading and reflec
tion, that whenever a judge can be elected by
reason of his sentiments on any question of
politics, that moment the real power of the
judicial oflice will disappear. Possibly this
may be very erroneous doctrine, very inop
portunely expresed, but I shall maintain it
while 1 possess a moral sense or rctiin a ration
al faculty. In the certain prospect of a de
feat far more disastrous, not one hairsbreadth
of it should bo abated.
The reverse which has occurred to the par
ty is of less consequence than we are apt to
suppose. The Democratic paity is coeval
with the Government itself, aud it will exist
so long as the Republic endures. Within its
ranks men will always be found who remain
there only' to do with more success the work
of disorganization. The party itself, though
depressed, is not destroyed. The point of
its lowest depression is that from which it will,
of necessity, begin to rise. At this moment,
I solemnly believe it to be the best and stron
gest political organization which has ever ex
isted for preserving the interests of the whole
country.
Now to the point. I am not weak enough
to suppose that the enclosed commission has
had much to do in causing tho present politi
cal excitement. Nevertheless, it is plain that
the people of Pennsylvania prefer another
person as a Judge of their Supreme Court. In
these circumstances, it seems to me a simple
dictate of delicacy and propriety to retire
from the office. In addition to this, I ought
to state that there are several important cau
ses pending in which I wish to take part as
counsel, and these require immediate atten
tion. I therefore, enclose my resignation.
The office was tendered by you very . kindly,
without solicitation on my part. I resign it
gratefully, and without, as I hope, having
brought upon it a stain of dishonor. Less
was accomplished than J, could have wished,
but I am not conscious of an act which does
not meet the approval of my own sense of du
ty. . To yourself personally, and to those
friends who arc sending me their sympathy,
I beg to say, in a word, that there is no cause
for regret. I return to a profession which I
was conscious of abandoning too soon, and to
a position at the bar as honorable as that
which is now relinquished, and so much more
remunerative, that comparison is out of the
question. Certainly, I ought to regard it no
hardship to exchange for the comforts of homo
that wandering life which the law of Penn- I
sylvanla compejs her judges to lead. If I
have any regret, it is in parting with those
pure and upright men who will remain to dis
charge their arduous and unrequited work.
Wishing you a prosperous administration of
public affairs, I am, very respectfully and tru
ly, yours, William A. Porter.

PREPARED POa TUS "RAFTSMAN'S JOLUXAL."
Dacphis County. The Middletown Journal
of Oct. 2lst, says: "Andrew T. Green, hotel
keeper at Highspire,' was arrested and taken
to Philadelphia last week, on the charge of
making counterfeit TJ. S. coin, lie has also
been indicted before our own County Court
for passing counterfeit $1 and one quarter dol
lar pieces. He had a hearing in Philadelphia
on Saturday liefore the United States Com
missioners. The principal evidence against
him was that counterfeit money was found ia
the cesspool attached to the bouse. His plea
was that this was accessible to all persons, as
boarders or otherw ise, and that the house, in
the spring of the year, was filled with raftsmen,'
going up and down the river with lumber, who
might have put tho money in the place men
tioned. The accused wss held in $3,000 for a
further hearing. On a second hearing, he
was bound over by the United States Commis
sioners, at Philadelphia, in the sum of $3,500
to answer the charge of counterfeiting. ....
A man by the name of Geo. Nitts, was drown
ed about three miles above Liverpool, in the
Susquehanna river. Ilia body was found in
water scarcely two feet deep, and it is sup
posed that he had taken a fit and fallen out of
his boat.
Hcstingdox Coistt. Wo copv the follow
ing from the i-'pruce Creek correspondence of
the Huntingdon American : "A very interest
ing runaway rn tch had its scene of exposure
laid in Spruce Creek a week or two ago. It
seems that some man from Pittsburgh arrived,
on last W cdnesuay a week, at the Keystone
Hotel, kept by Col. Hazlet, with another man's
wife, where thev spent threo nights and two
days. On the evening of Saturday, of the
same week, the true husband arrived on the
westward train. He had passed Spruce Creek
in the search, but after he had done so,
gleaned some intelligence of the guilty pair
from the Conductors, and returned according
ly.,, The woman, who was on the lookout, ptr
ceiving him, conveyed the news to her quon
dam husband who, taking leg-bail, was soon
out of sight. He went to Tyrone, from whence
he telegraphed to her to come to him. By the
time the dispatch arrived, however, tho true
husband and false wife had amicably settled
their affair, and started for Pittsburgh in the
evening. The parties are said to have very
respectable connections and are wealthy.
Elk CotjfTT. We learn, says the Ridgway
Reporter, that a girl about 13 years of age, an
adopted daughter of Elder J. D. Boyer, of
Second t oik, was the victim of some brute,
who it is believed administered chloroform to
her and then violated her person. Mr. Buyer's
house recently burnt down, and his family
were staying at a friends about a mile from
the site of their late residence, where the
child was sent to milk. On tho occasion re
ferred to the girl did not return as usual, and
as Mr. Boyer was not at home, his w ife gave
the alarm to the neighbors, who generally
turned out and searched, without success, lor
the missing one. Next day some persons
were attracted to the barn, where she had been
to milk, by the barking of Mr. Boyer's dog,
when the birn was searched for the third time
and the unfortunate child found, helpless and
insensible, with evident marks of a brutal out
rage having been committed upon her. Wc
hope the guilty wretch will be arrested and
convicted. The good people of Gibson will
not rest until the brute is brought to condign
punishment.
Indiana CorsTT. On Sunday afternoon,
John Nagel, accompanied by his wife, were
out taking a drive in a sort of gig, and while
turning the corner of Church and Mahoning
streets, the bottom of the " vehicle gave way,
and Mrs. Nagel was precipitated to the ground,
but fortunately escaped without injury.
A man named William Henry was lodged in
jail on Wednesday, charged w ith having stolen
from Alex. Adams, of Marion, a watcli and a
suit of clothes: The watch and a part of the
clothing were found. .... Some hungry fel
lows broke into Kaeuflitie's meat cellar, under
the Washington House, on Tuesday night,
and carried off a lot of beef. ... . On the
night after the election, two prisoners in the
county jail mannged to cut their irons by
means of an old case knifo, which had been
nicked on the edge, so as to form a sort or
saw. Their cell being all sound, however they
could not escape, and arc still securely kept.
Jefferson CorxTY. On Wednesday night
last, while W. W. Corbet, Esq. was at McCrea's
furnace on Mahoning, one of his horses was
taken from the stable and rode some distance.
In the morning the horse was missed, and Mr.
C. taking the track, followed it some ten or
twelve miles, when he met the horse coming
back. A saddle, bridle and halter had also
been taken from tho stable, and it is supposed
that the horse hud been stolen and fastened in
the woods, and in fretting to get back to its
mate, had slipped the halter and escaped.
No trace has been found of tho saddle or
bridle.
Erie CotxTr. The dwelling house of Mr.
William M'Creary, of Milh reck township, was
destroyed by fire on Saturday a-week. with
nearly all its contents. Mr. and Mrs. M'Crea
ry narrowly escaped with their lives. A few
articles of furniture, a small portion of the
elothing of the family, and the private papers
of Mr. McOreary, const it utd all that was
saved. The flames communicated to another
house adjacent, which was also burned to the
ground. No insurance in either case. There
seem reason to believe that tho fire was the
wanton act of an incendiary.
Blair Cocstt. Some burglar or bnrglars
effected an entrance into the grocerv store of
George T. Cyphers, in Hollidaysburg on
Saturday night last, by wrenching off some
iron bars placed over a back cellar window.
It appears they must have went direct to the
money drawer, into which they fitted a skel
eton key, which started a patent alarm at
tached to it, and caused the rascals to beat a
hasty retreat without eettinp any boot v. The
drawer contained a few hnndred pennies, and
some $13 in Furnace scrip.

There is nothing more graceful than a grace
ful submission to defeat. Tho true philoso
pher is he who meets disaster with a smiling
front, and goes into retirement without a sigh.
This lesson seems to have been lost upon the
highly distinguished gentleman who was a
candidate for Supremo Judge, in this State,
at the late election, and was badly beaten by
Hon. John M. Read. We allude to the Hon.
William A. Porter., whoso lettor to Governor
Packer, resigning his position upon the Su
preme Bench, to which he had been appoint
ed by the Governor, we reprint in another
column. Wc aie free to say that, in point of
style and temper, it does Judge Porter no
credit. In the first place, it reflects upon
Governor Packer. Would it not h ive ben
at least decorous for Jndge Porter to' have
held over, under the commission conferred by
the Governor in such manifest good faith, for
the very brief period remaining before Mr.
Read assumes the ermine 1 Why this hot
haste to get rid of the judicial robes t Sure
ly his clients would have waited a little while
longer in order to let his term close as provi
ded by law. .
Judge Fortcr is not less unfortunate when
he says thtt whenever a judge can "be elected
by reason of his sentiments on any question
of politics, that moment the real power of
the judicial office will disappear. Then, the
Convention that nominated him did wrong in
taking him up because he was a Democrat,
and in so far he rebukes ihein. But then Judge
Porter had "sentiments" on a cet tain "ques
tion." He took care, in some places, to de
clare his auti-Lecomptonism. while in others
he allowed himself to be quoted as of a re
verse opinion, and was even content to stand
on "any platform" in order to get votes.
Now, more remarkable than all, he allows
himself to say what is neither more nor less
than a rebuke to those who, if ti:ey sinned at
all, sinned only in standing where he professed
himself to stand. What else does he mean
when he speaks of those who "remain in the
Democratic party to do the work of disorgan
ization 1" He may allude, indeed, to his
uncle, James Madison Porter, who ran as a
volunteer candidate for jndge some years ago,
in the Monroe judicial district, or to his own
father,' Ex-Governor Porter, who is known to
oppose the regular nominations in the county
where he resides, whenever they do not please
him. lie did not suppose that the taunt at
the glorious Democracy, which refuses to en
dorse Lecompton, as so many disorganizes,
would react upon those so near to him. That
Democracy may now see bow right lhey were
in distrusting Judge Porter, and we only re
gret that he did not allow bis real sentiments
to appear before instead of after the election.
Had he done this, the majority against him
would have been five times larger than it is.
Judge Porter is one of the last men to use
harsh language to any portion of tho Demo
cratic part3-. He is the last man to set him
self up as a model Democrat. He has never
rendered any service to that party ; has in
most cases refused to subscribe to its expen
ses ; was more than indifferent to it in 1806;
and even now, while declaring that he obtain
ed the appointment of the Judgeship without
solicitation, and that he expected to reach it
by election, without doing anything to pro
mote his success, he forgets that he was in
consultation with some of the most reckless
local partisans before he procured his nomina
tion at Harrisbtirg, and that these partisans
acted under his lead.
Judge Porter makes an allusion to bis yc nth,
in his singular letter. It will take him many
years to recover from the impression it will
make on the public mind. He has had a full
share of patronage, and he must not think
that he has any claim, cither of family, or of
intellect, or of orthodoxy in matters of faith,
to entitle him to the right of holding oillce,
or of denouncing those who do not think him
deserving of it. The days of the Bourbons
of politics are over in this State ; and we re
gret that so young a man as Judge Porter
does not know it.
