CLEARFIELD, I'A., Jl 'JE I, 1850.
Wuat Sua li. be Dose? We observe that
one or two ti ouTCOtcijiponries, in discussing
the ipic-stion of what course shoal J be pursued
Lj the Feoplo's State Convention v.hich is to
laect at LIjirrisLurg on the Sib iast., Lave per
mitted their valor to get the Letter of their
discretion, and tbrealcn to "play siiiath and
break tbinrs," if certain specified matters are
iot done and others left undone. Ko one, wc
prusanic, will consider it improper in them
making suggestions to the Convention ; but
the idea of a few persons waking the adop
tion of a dogma, perhaps of an impracticable
character, or the rejection of a proposition
that might Le politic and well-timed, a condi
tion of their abiding by, or seceding from the
action of a Convention, ia, to a y the least of
it, imprudent. It is an attempt to force the
opinions of the few upon the many of one
man trying to control a whole party and u,
in cllect, saying that the members of the Con
vention arc not capable of performing the du
ty entrusted to them by their constituents,
und v.ill throw asides their own views and a
dopt such as these imperious, sell-constituted
dictators demand. If all these worthies ask
is to be submitted to, there is little need of
holding a Convention all that would be ne
cessary would be the issuing of un edict, set
ting forth their wishes, and requiring strict o
litdicnce to the same under penalty of their
dire displeasure. It seems to us, that if these
extremely wise and valorous gentlemen would
have suppressed their threats, their Migges
tions niight have been received with more fa
vor than they will be under existing circum
stances, and they would have been free of the
embarrassment they will be in if the Convention
hapxens to pay no attention whatever to their
demands. We have no doubt of the Convent ion
doing what will be discreet and right that it
will consult the feelings and interests of the
misses, despite the menaces of those whose
motto appears to be "rale or ruin."
Walker at his Old Tricks. The little
,:maa of destiny," as his foolish followers are
fond of terming him, is about again, endea
voring to do mischief. ThU fellow is only
bold because he presumes on the lenity of the
national government, and it is a pity that he
cannot be brought to condign punishment, in
the manner suggested in the following extract
from the Washington correspondence of the
.uith .'Imcrican :
-The rumored fillibus'cring movement of
Walker 0Kn .Nicaragua is necessarily annoy
ing to the Administration, jti.it at the time
u hen our diifxulties in Central America are
..bout being adjusted. His destination is only
suspected, not knou n, though tiie special ob
jestof bis visit to California, two months ag-j.
nxi wt'l understood to be a recruiting expedi
tion, which the imperfect intelligence now re
ceived seems to verify substantially. The
District Attorney and Marshal in S.m Francis
co hal instructions which orght to have pre
vented tiie txodus of any such organized
force, and their remissness, or culpable ne
glect, can hardly Le excused, after ll.c notori
ety ol Walkers presence and proceedings.
The instructions to the Home S'ju vlion, mos!
of which has Djeu on active service between
Aspinwall and San Junn, are positive, and re
tme the arrest of any armed expedition. If
Walker should bo t.il'.-ii, it is to t-c hoped he
t.ill be brought into some port uh-re the laws
of the United .States can be properly enforced,
and this discreditable farce of bringing him
borne for trial, and then releasing him, cinuot
be repeated, as it has been too often, llo has
done much mischief already, l4:si,les sacil
fictng the 1'ivv.s of thousauds of deluded fol
lowers." Walker is extremely fortunate in having a
very imbecile administration to deal with.
That he has not l?en tucked up long ago he
should thank Mr. L'ticlianan, and not attribute
bis escape from justice to his own shrewd op
erations or to his extraordinary merits.
The case of the Oberlin slave rescuers, who
were recently convicted and sentenced by the
U. S. District Court at Cleveland, presents an
other new phazo, and one which will, no
doubt, lead to serious results. The Stde
Court has issued a writ of habeas corpus, which
lias been duly served upon the U. S. Marsl.il.
T ho U. S. Attorney General has given in
structions to the Marshal not to produce the
prisoners on any writs emanating from tho
Uto Courts. On the other band, Governor
Chase says the State writs shall be respected
at all hazards. Thus tho matter stands at
present, and thhre is considerable feeling a
moiig the friends of tho two powers.
The Charleston, S. C, Mercury says it is "a
piece of downright audacity to say the Black
Republican party locks to the overthrow of
this Union." It adds: "Disunion would be
fatal in every point of view to Black Repub
licanism. They know it well, and would seek
to prevent it, if they had the power and could
succeed, even at the point of the sword. It
is the strongest Union party in the country,
not only from policy and the dictates of self
preservation, but by the principles of consol
idation which they euLertaiu."
The Madison, Wisconsin, Journal states that
Mild pigeons ate exceedingly abundant in that
region. They are belling for thirty cents pei
dozen in the street, and aie plump and fat.
-The ediior says a Mr.' E.J. Harmon, near the
city, killed twenty-fira at a single i"a; t Th:
must be fine fun tor spjrtcien.
Tue War axd EEEADSTirrs. The Econo
mist, alluding to tLo rapid rise in the price of
LreaJstuOTs, owing to the war, speculates as
follows upon the probable demand upon this
country for a supply : "Among 0,000,000 of
people, the taking of 000,000 men, that is one
out of 130, more or less, from ordinary occu
pations, will have but little influence upon
production, and no more upon consumption
than will be caused by waste. What they ac
tually eat as jol liers is los3 than what they
get at home. A large portion of these are
idlers from the cities, and in Europe the labor
of agriculture is customarily performed by fe
males, conscript is taken where bis labor
i3 necessary to bis family. The mere move
ment of the men i3 of no commercial impor
tance. Where their operations extend over a
large agricultural surface, they, however, de
stroy and prevent agriculture, and in so far
cause a demand from other ipuartcrs. If this
is conGued to .Northern Italy, while all the or
dinary sources of supply are undisturbed, the
commercial cflect of the war will iiardly be
felt. There never was a more propitious mo
ment lor war than now, since crops of all sorts
in Europe arc very abundant and cheap, and
enterprise not recovered from the panic of
ISoo."
Amiaele. Tho Packer and Buchanan Dem
ocrats of Pennsylvania are particularly amia
ble towards each other of late. For instance,
the Philadelphia J'cnnxylranian, a Buchanan
organ, calls "Messrs. Forney and Hickman,
"Red-mouthed Abolitionists, corrupt and
rotten at the heart, capable of pel petroling the
foulest and blackest crimes, who have lived all
their lives on plunder, stealing from the Trea
sury of the Government, and when the door
was shut against their w holesale stealing, they
turn round and abuse the men and party who
gave them life."
On the other band, the Salc Sentinel, the
Anli-Lccornpton Democratic pajior at Harris
burg, uses tho following mild ljnguagc in
speaking of the President :
"lie is a violator of pledges, an unwise, un
safe, and corrupt Executive, a pro-slavery
Disunionist, a pirate in intention, a tyrant, an
ajostate from Democracy, a wool dyed Feder
alist, and a disorganizcr '."
That, we should say, was ''talking out In
meeting ;" but as it is confined to the Democ
racy, we have nothing to say, and give the a--'
bove extracts only lor the purpose of showing
the kind feelings which the two wings of that
party entertain for each other.
Great Loss of Cattle. It is believed that
twenty-five hundred head of cattle havojpcris'h
ed in Oregon and Washington during the psst
winter. One farmer in Marion county, we
learn, lost sixty head in fifteen successive
days. Another in Polk county, having four
hundred head, lost one hundred during the
w inter : the loss was not couOncd to neat stock.
Valuable horses and brood mares have perish
ed. The past season has been the most disas
trous Oregon has ever seen. It will not, how
ever, materially check tho progress or pros
perity of the country.
To&SAbo i?f Iowa. A destructive and fatal
tornado occurred at Iowa City, on the 21th
May, by which houses, barns, and everything
movable, was swept off. The track of the
whirlwind was in a southerly direction, and
extending ten or twelve miles before its force
was spent. As far as heard from, four per
sons were killed and twelve badly irjured.
Of one fjniily, name 1 Morgan, the father, son
and grandson were all instantly killed. The
loss by the calamity has not been ascertained.
The Vicksburgh True Southron, a democrat
ic journal, rejoices in the fact that "a conven
tion of nine Southern, States has deliberately
spoken in favor of a repeal of all laws, State
and Federal, prohibiting the slave trade." It
further remarks that possibly tho people will
not "endorse this action, but the proposition
has gone forth with the deliberate sanction of
t!.c representatives of those Slates, and the
smail politicians and hoary conservatives of
tho djy can no longer evade the issue."
Mrs. Tolly Pixley, widow of EliJia Pixley
of Bethany, .,. V., w ho labored under the be
lief that the world would soon be buncd up,
concluded to anticipate that calamity by burn
ing herself to death on Sunday, the loth May.
She took from the house a pan of coals, went
alout fifteen rods from the dwelling, and set
lire to her clothing, and was found by the
neighbors after having lain on the ground, as
is supposed, some lour hours.
Great Stohx. A terrible storm occured
in Kansas, on Sunday night a-wcek. At Doni
phan, about thirty houses were blown dowu.
At Lancaster, some three miles distant,a num
ber of buildings were razed to tho ground,
Including a church. One man was killed, and
two others severely wounded. About three
miles from Atchisou.a train of twenty wagons
was nearly demolished, and one of the team
sters killed.
The Hon. Job:i C. Brcckenridgc is perform
ing a two horse act iu Kentucky. He aims to
be elected United States Senator in place of
John J. Crittenden at all events, and if possi
ble to secure the Charleston nomination also.
He has a democratic rival in tho person of
Linn Boyd for the seat of Crittenden, and a
rival for the Presidential candidacy iu the per
son of the Hon. Jame3 Guthrio.
Al Lockport, N. Y., there is a person seven
feet five and three-fourths inches in height,
who claims to bo a descendant of the huge
Philistine, and says his name is Douet Goshen,
from Charen, Isthmus of Suez, and that he ia
an Arabian of high rank. Ho is described as
of good proportions and pleasant countenance.
The Odd Fellows' block of buildings, at Du
buque, Iowa, including the Post office, U. S.
Land oiiice, Odd Fellows' and Masons' lodgo

'House Shoe Uonissos.' A correspondent
of the Anderson (S. C) Gazette, in giving a
sketch of Pickens District says : "Pickens is
a great district. With such an extent of ter
ritory, a large portion ol which is as fertile as
any in the State, with a population of at least
twenty-five thousand of high minded, intelli
gent and energetic citizens, with her large bo
dies of forest land which the woodman's axe
has never yet desolated, with her beautiful
streams and water power eqnal to any in the
world, combined with her mountain scenery,
which is unsurpassed, makes it almost impos
sible to predict lor her a future too bright, es
pecially when we remember that this preat
railroad, connecting us with tha valley of the
Mississippi, will pass directly through its cen
tre, and that tho whistle of the "iron horse"
will soon echo through her mountains and val
leys, where but a few years ago the war hoop
of the savago alone broke the stillness of na
ture. Nor is she without her history in ro
mance. It was on the banks of the beautiful
Chauga that Horse Shoe Uobinson lived. Here
it was that the Hon. J. P. Kennedy found the
old warrior, and gathered the facts for his cel
ebrated talc, which has placed him in the front
ranks of authors of bis d:iy. I had the plea
sure of visiting the bouse io -which Horse Shoe
Kobinson lived,and was tol l by the proprietor
(Mr. Hughes) that tho old hero built it with
his own hands. The place still bears bis name.
He has long since been gathered to his fathers,
and I have been told that near Tuscaloosa, in
Alabama, a rude stone, cpon which is a rough
ly carved horse shoe, marks the resting place
of the good old man.
Large Oedeu3 from Exclaxo for Ameri
can Fick-akms. The large quantity of fire
arms and gun-making machinery already fur
nished to England from American workshops
proves to have been but the precursor of more
extended orders. The JTcw York 'Journal of
Commerce' says : 'We learn from Mr. E. V.
Ilaughwout, agent for the Ames Manufactur
ing Company, that orders were brought by the
last steamer from England for tho immediate
construction of large quantities of machinery
for the manufacture of the most approvod A
mcrican fire-arms, and that the same have
been ji:tin hand for execution, both at Chico
pee, Mass., and other largo works, offering the
needed facilities. Tho agents of the British
government bearing these orders also bring a
large amount of sterling gold, and arc unre
stricted as to the amount of work to le done.
The American machinery already in England
is worked up to their fullest capacity, turning
out several thousand gan3 per month, under
the direction of workmen from theshops of
Chicopee."
IIaytiexjCostcme. James liedpath writes
tw the Hcy'Yotk'Vfibune of bis observations
during a' sojourn in nayti : "After descend
ing from the mountains, wo passed two or
three collection of huts. At one of them
four leagues from Gonaires we saw an inter
esting family group. There was an old man,
a young man and two young women the men
with their feet, and the women with their
breasts uncovered ; three almost naked chil
dren one a girl, fat and whining; one a boy,
dirty and merry ; both utterly naked, but both
under two years of age ; and a boy, eleven
years old, with the most unique of light sum
mer dresses. Ho wore a checkered handker
chief on his head, and an old broken case-knife
suspended from his neck by a piece of twine.
That was all. Cool, wasn't it ? and cheap V
Latest from Echope. The steamship Ilam
monia from Bremen arrived at New York on
the SOth. No battle had taken place, though
one was soon expected. Tho French are veiy
confident of success. Tho Austrians are still
changing their position, but at the same time
are making gradual advances into the territory
of Sardinia. An oflicial bulletin from Turin
announces that they had made a movement
from Strabclla towards Voghera, and they
have threatened the bridgo at Stella. Four
Austrian vessels have been captured by tiie
French squadron. Tho head quarters ol the
Emperor Napoleon have been fixed at Alles
Suiidria, at which place he has arrived.
From the Plains. A letter from Fort Bel
kuap dated 22d May, says that the express
train had just arrived from Camp Kadzimlski,
bringing the report that Maj. Van Horn had a
light with the northern Camanches at the fork
of the Arkansas river, on the lGth, killing fif
ty and taking thirty-six prisoners. Two sol
diers were kiiled and several wounded, among
the latter Lieut. Lee and Capt. Smith. The
letter also says that four or fivo hundred Tcx
ans wero encamped twenty miles below the
Brazos on the Indian Reserve, with the inten
tion of attacking tho Reserve Indians. Much
excitement prevailed.
Ax Old Man is Love. Iu Albany, an old
gentleman worth some half a million of dollars,
fell desperately in lovo with his servant girl.
He proposed and was accepted ; but the old
gentleman's children learning how matters
stood, threatened him with a berth iu the Lu
natic Asylum. He became alarmed at this,
and Dually told the girl "it couldn't be did."
Young lady hears the annouuement, and then
talks of "cold pizcu" and blasted hopes. She
consults a lawyer and threatens to make Rome
howl. Her lawyer brings suit for breach of
promise, and to get out of the scrape, the
old gcutleman pays $2-300.
