THOMAS E. COCHRAN, of York.

WILLIAM II. KEIM, of Berks.
IN "A PECK OP TEOTJBLE-".
The letter of Gen. Cas3 to Mr. Le Clerc, in
which he says that naturalization will not ex
cmpt a man from military service, if claimed
by the Government under which he was born,
is a source of great concern to the Democratic
press in general, and the Clearfield Republican
In particular. The editor of that pure, gen
teel, truthful and sinless sheet is in dire trib
ulation lest the letter of Mr. Secretary Cass
should not be properly understood by the
faithful. His distress is really agonizing, and
his lamentations over the conduct of the Op
position press, which persists in giving pub
licity to the precious document, are uttered in
the most plaintive and melancholy strains
Occasionally these partake of a wrathful char
acter, and swell forth in severe, bitter, sea
thing (!) denunciations of the Know Nothings,
who, he would have us believe, are ever such
bad fellows, charging them with committing
"a grand fraud upon natural rights a wicked
assault upon the spirit and theory of our in
Etitutions," and with impairing that "valuable
acquisition of wealth, of labor, and of indus
try," which our country receives from foreign
emigration ! How terrible ! How awful ! !
Such carryings-on shouldn't be allowed, and
we trust the editor of tho Republican, will
sneedilv nut a ston to them. The feat could
scarcely fail to immortalize him, and his mem
ory would doubtless be forever cherished in
"the land of the free, and tho home of the
brave !"
When, a few weeks ago, we published the
letter of Gen. Cass, alluded to, we had no
ilea of seriously disturbing the equanimity of
our Bp-street neighbor. But in 'this it seems
we were mistaken, and we feel sorry for it
We regret that he should have allowed bis
temper to get the mastery of his judgment,
and whilst attempting to correct others, that
he should fall into error himself. For in
stance, he asserts, in the beginning of his ar
ticle, that "one of the causes of the last war
with Great Britain, was in vindication of the
right" of expatriation. .Now this, we admit,
is something new to tjs. We always were
taught that the attempt on the part of Eng
land to come upon our shores, and to enter
our ships, for the purpose of impressing natu
ralized citizens, formerly her subjects a claim
that neither England nor any other European
power has ever yet abandoned and not a
"vindication of the right of expatriation," was
one of the principal causes of that war. Nor
were we aware, until the astute editor of the
Republican enlightened us, that "the right of
expatriation" was ever "questioned," as he
intimates, by the Know-Nothings. And here
we may as well state that his remarks about
the views of the American party, are all bal
derdash. The American party were in favor
of restricting only certain political privileges
of foreigners in this country.
But let us take a glance at this letter busi
ness. Gen. Cass, in the first place, writes to
Mr. Le Clerc that his naturalization here will
not exempt him from a claim of military ser
vice there, if he voluntarily returns to Lis na
tive land. This was regarded by some as a
tacit admission that the United States Govern
ment lacked either the will or the ability to
protect all those over whom her flag floated,
particularly that class who had renounced al
legiance to the sovereigns in whose dominions
they were born, and had sworn fidelity to the
Government of their adoption. The want of
precision in a paper emanating from the State
Department, allowing all kinds of construc
tions to be put upon the language, brought a
bout newspaper comment, and some animad
versions. The Republican, in speaking of the
letter of Gen. Cass, says :
"It does not say that that 'claim' would be
a just one. It does not say that it would be
consistent with the doctrines held by the gov
ernment of the United States nor does it say
that such claim' would be acknowledged by
our government. None ot these things does
it say, or even admit."
Gen. Cass is to blamo for not having made
bis meaniDg more clear, and Le admits his
want of perspicuity by writing another letter,
defining more distinctly "the position of the
United States" upon the subject. In this sec
ond letter he says, if a naturalized citizen was
actually in the army of his native country, or
called into it, at the time of bis emigration,
and voluntarily returns thither, his citizenship
Lere will not protect him from whatever pen
alty he may have incurred there by tho act of
leaving ; but when no personal liabilities ex
ist against him at the period of his emigra
tion, the law of nations gives no right to any
country to interfere with him, and the attempt
to do so would be considered unfriendly by
ur Government. Does this, then, not admit
that, under some circumstances at least, natu
ralized citizens cannot be protected against
tbe-claims of the Government tinder which
they were born 7 Does it not plainly make a
distinction between native and naturalized cit
izens, to the disadvantage of the latter ? Does
it cot leave us to infer that, if a naturalized
citizen returns to his native land, where h e
had been enlisted or enrolled before bis de
parture, he may be punished or forced to serve
in the army there, and no relief would be ex
tended to him no protection afforded him by
our Government 1 If this is the case, then
naturalization here does not absolutely and en
tirely dissolve the bond which obliged the a
lien to serve the sovereign in the land of his
birth ; be is only safe, if any personal liabili
ties existed against him when he left, so long
as he "remains out ot tho monarch's jurisdic
tion ; he owes involuntarily service to two
Governments at the same time; and in the
event of a war between the United States and
his native country, he might, while serving
with one, if taken prisoner by the other, be
bung as a traitor. We contend, whether it is
the law of nations or not, that this country
should declare that all her citizens shall be
protected from insult or oppression, wherever
found under the broad canopy of heaven, un
less it be in the case of a naturalized citizen
voluntarily returning to the country where,
prior to his expatriation, he had committed
such an offence as, under treaties relating to
extradition, would have made it incumbent
upon our Government to deliver him up.
In taking the position he does, Gen. Cass
comes in contact with the views entertained
in the case of the Hungarian, Koszta, who was
seized by an Austrian brig of war at Smyrna,
in Turkey, after he had declared his intention
to become a citizen of the United States, when
Secretary Marcy took the ground that natu
ralization here entitled the adopted citizen to
complete protection by the Government. It
also conflicts with the action taken in the case
of M. Allibert, who had been drawn as a con
script in 1S39, left France, audwas natural
ized here in 181-5. When he returned to that
country in 18G2, he was arrested as an escaped
conscript. The American consul at odcc took
his case in hand, and after two trials, and a
detention of six months, procured his release.
Mr. Everett, then Secretary of State, recog
nized the course of the consul as correct, and
expressed tho desire that this might be con
sidered a precedent, and that "hereafter natu
ralized citizens of the United States may visit
France without danger of arrest for military
service." This was under Mr. Fillmore's Ad
ministration, but according to Geu. Cass' dem
ocratic doctrine, M. Allibert would have been
subject to arrest, and no protection should
haxe been extended to him by our Govern
ment. And now a few words about the allegation
of the editor of the Republican that we have an
"irresistible habit" of "misconstruing facts."
Well, that is bad enough, if true; and very
kind of him to tell the people indeed, we are
pleased to hear that one Locofoco editor, at
least, is opposed to lying, and we hope he will
stick to it. We don't feel oCended at him for
saying sucn very severe tmn2s ; it may te a
"habit" of his, when he is hard run for an ar
gument and we do not apprehend that our
reputation will be seriously damaged in those
quarters where his delectable sheet may hap
pen to circulate regularly. If, however, what
he alleges were correct, in order to sustain
the character he gives us, we would have to
say that his is the most truthful, high-toned,
honorable and respectful paper in the State.
EUEOPEAII NEWS.
The arrival of the steamship Vanderbilt and
Bavaria at New York, puts us in possession of
advices from Europe to tho 22d ult. The
news although the great battle for which
every one was looking had not yet taken place
is important, inasmuch as it foreshadows
that battle and the results likely to flow from
it, and shows the situations and feelings of
the combatants and of those who may soon
become combatants. The Allies had almost
reached the borders of the famous Quadrangle,
and the Austrian headquarters were at Villa
franca, which is about midway between the
fortresses of Peschiera and Verona, and npon
the road from the latter place to Mantua.
Garibaldi was on the western shore of Lago
Garda, and had moved to within a few miles
of Feschiera, when the appearance of a supe
rior force obliged him to retire. Napoleon,
whose headquarters had latterly been at Bre
scia, whence the lUovileur now receives tele
grams, had left that place to advance. The
Allies had been marching leisurely through a
smiling country, the inhabitants of which
rose to greet and to join thera ; while the Aus
trians were retreating in such hot haste that
the march partook of the character and in
spired the sentiments of a flight. They gave,
it is stated, many opportunities of attack to
the foe, which were not improved But it
seems probable that it was the intention of
Napoleon to defer an engagement until Frince
Napoleon, with the French fleet, could attack
the Austrians in the rear. An indication of
tho feeling of Venice is given in a telegram,
which describes the exultation of the inhabi
tants on bearing that the French were at Pa
dua, and the riots which sprung up in conse
quence of that false report. The motives or
want of motives, the policy or impolicy, by
which the Austrians have been led to abandon
their strongholds and fall back iu such a hurry
to the Mincio, continue tw be matter for spec
ulation, aa their inaction after crossing the
Ticino and overrunning Sardinia was; and
speculation is quite as idle now as it was
then. Meantime, the new Government of
Lombardy has quietly gone into operation,
and Modena and Bologna were making prepa
rations to govern themselves. In the Papal
States there had been further troubles and
Swiss troops had been sect to Perugia to put
down a rising there. The purpose of Prussia
in mobilizing her army was not fully known ;
bnt the prevalent opinion was that she design
ed to put herself in tho position to act as
armed mediator between the belligerents.
Little hope was, however,entertained that her
clforts would be successful, and it was gener
ally believed that, whatever tho result of tho
expected battle on the Mincio,she would there
after become a party to the war,whlch, in that
event, would involve all Europe. The depar
ture of Kossuth for Genoa and the proclama
tion ot Gen. Kiapka were consideted ominous
of such a war.
NEW KAIL AS3ANGEKENTS.
During the past week or two, the Post Mas
ter General has been busy at what his parti
zans are pleased to tcrm."the work of retrench
ment and reform in the Post Office Depart
ment," and all over the country we hear of
mail service being curtailed or cut oil entire
ly. In our own county some changes have
been made. One of the most important
routes that from here to Curwensville and
Lcthersburg, and thence west has been cut
down from a daily to a tri-weekly mail, and
another has been discontinued. Whether any
more changes or discontinuances will be made
in this couuty, we cannot say, for there, is no
telling what act of madness the present mis
erable, imbecile National Administration may
not perpetrate. To it, the interests, conve
niences and accommodation of the people are
nothing, so that its toadies and favorites are
well fed and taken care of. In nianj places,
in the North, where a handsome revenue was
realized above the expenses, a reduction of
mail service has been made ; profitable post
routes are damaged to support others which
have always been losing affairs ; and contract,
ors, whoso jobs were not sufficiently fat, have
been permitted to break their agreements,
causing heavy increased expense, aud no at
tempt is made to enforce the stipulations, be
cause the parties or their sureties are friends
of the Administration. This is called "econ
omizing." But whilst this sort of "retrench
ment and reform" is rapidly progressing, not
a word do we hear about stopping such leaks
as the one mentioned in the annexed article,
which is regarded as a mere trifle by J. B. and
the gang of worthies who control him :
A Swindling Operation. A letter from
Camp Floyd to the Missouri Democrat, shows
how easy it is to make four hundred thousand
dollars out of the Government in a flour spec
ulation, especially if a Cabinet olhcei is en
gaged in the business. The correspondent of
the Democrat says : John Holliday and Col.
Martin are the lucky contractors for furnishing
the army with breadstufls the ensuing year,
for which they received 28 GO per 100 pounds.
The daily average consumption of flour by
the camp is not less than 5,000 pounds, ma
king the annual consumption about 2,000,000
pounds. Thi3 would amount to $-572,000 a
snug little item in the current expenses.
Now, when we take into consideration the fact
that Mr. William Martin and E. F. Stanton
oflered to furnish the supply of flour for 10
per 1000 pounds, it seems strange that Messrs.
Holliday and Martin have been awarded this
contract at $28 CO per 100 pounds. Does it
not look like collusion on the part of the Sec
retary of War J
The quality of flour manufactured in this
territory is of the poorest description, and
would pass for "sweepings" at any market in
the States Yet this is the stuff the army
will be compelled to use the incoming year.
If it was the intention of Secretary Floyd to
have the supply of flour shipped from the
States, then the price is in the neighborhood
of. reason. But if such was his design, why
did he furnish Messrs. Holliday and Martin
with orders for Government mules from any
post along the route on their journey to this
point.
Since their arrival, they have commenced
buying and contracting for all the flour in the
territory, for which they are paying $5 per
hundred, but in all probability they Willi have
to pay as high as S8 for a portion. We will
say that they pay $8 per hundred for all of it,
and we see that they are at an outlay of $300,
000 In fulfilling the contract, leaving them a
snug little balance of four hundred and twelve
thousand dollars. There are probably four
partners in this contract, Mr. John Holliday,
Major Martin, Wm. Russell, (firm of Rnssell,
Majors & Waddell,) and Secretary Floyd.
They will realize one hundred thousand dol
lars each, and be at no trouble or risk.
Truly, Uncle Sam is blessed with a noble set
of office holders they are so careful to look
to their own interests. They are so economi
cal as to order the discharge of all the team
sters and mechanics in the employ of the camp,
and put soldiers to doing the same.all because
the expenses are too great. - Now the entire
wages for an entire year, of the men engaged
in the Q. M. D. would not amount to half the
sum squandered on the flour contract alone.
"The Mongrel Meeting. " In an article
under this heading, the editor of the Clearfield
Republican complains that some harsh expres
sions were used by one of the speakers at the
meeting on the evening of tho 27th ult. Be
that as it may, we always prefer to see affa
bility and moderation observed ; but it seems
to ns that the editor of a sheet that indulges
as frequently in the use of scurrilous and con
temptible epithets and unwarranted abuse as
doe3 our neighbor, should be tho last to lec
ture others on their manner of speech. The
very paper in which he complains, is not free
of those peculiarly chaste and refined terras,
for which it has become notorious. Out upon
such barefaced, shameless and hypocritical
cant! Bah! it's filthy.

SCROFULA, OR KINti'S EVIL, is a con
stitutional disease, a taint, or corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak,
and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and may burst out in disease on
any part ot it. .No organ is free from its attacks,
nor is there one which it may not destroy. The
scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, or disordered or unhealthy
food, impure air, filih and filthy habits, the depres
sing vices, and. above all, by the venereal infec
tion. AVhatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the
constitution, descending from parents "to children
unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed, it
seems to be the rod of Jliin who says. "I will visit
the iniquities of the fathersnpon thoir ahildren'
It effects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and ulcerous maticr.whioh. in the lungs,
liver, and internal organs., is termed tubercles ; ir
the glands, swellings; and on the surface, erup
tions or sores. This foul corruption, which gen
ders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so
that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer from
scrofulous complaints, but they have far less power
to withstand the attacks of other diseases ; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders which,
although not scrofulous in their nature, are still
rendered fatal by thi3 taint in the system. .Most
of the consumption which deceminates the human
family has its origin directly in this scrofulous con
tamination; and many destructive diseases of tho
liver, kidneys, brain, and indeed, of all the organs,
arise from or are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ; their
persons are invaded by this lurkingconiarninition,
and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse
it from the system we must renovate the blood by
an alterative medicine. and invigorate it by healthy
food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in
Ayer's Compound Extract of Sarsapanlla.
the most effectual remedy which the medical skill
of our times can devise for this every where pre
vailing and fatal malady. It is combined from the
most active rerncdials that have been discovered
for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the
blood, and the rescue of tho system from its des
tructive consequences. Hence it should be employ
ed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those
other affections which arise from it, such as Erup
tive and Skin Iiseascs, St. Anthony's Fire. Rose,
or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules, Blotches, Blains
and Boils, Tumors, Tetter and Salt Rheum, Scald
Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism, Syphilitic and
Mercurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility,
and, indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitiated

a degeneration of the blood. The practical purpose

AYER'S CATHARTIC BILLS, for all the pitrno

ease within the ranjc of their action can rarely
withstand or evade them. Their penetratiug pro
perties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every
portion of the human erganisin. correcting its dis
eased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities.
As a consequence of these properties, the inalid
who is bowed down with pain or physical debil
ity is astonished to find his health or energy re
stored by a remedy at once so simple and invhinz.
Sot only do they cure the cvery-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and dan
gerous diseases. The agent below named is pleas
ed to furnish gratis my American Almanac, con
taining certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Cox

ordi'rf.l tstomarh, JYatfsca, Indigestion. Pain in
atul lorbid Inaction of the HoukIs, l'tntnlency,
Los of Appetite, Jaunlice, and other kindred
complaints, arising from a low state of the body
or obstruction of its functions.

Croup, Rroiichitix, Incipient Consumption, ami for
the relief of Const, mjittve. Patients in rvtpuneeA
stage of the disease. So wide is the field of its
usefulness and so numerous are the cases of its
cures, that almost every section of country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restor
ed from alarming and even desperate diseases of
the lungs by its use. When once tried, iu superi
ority over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent to escape observation, and where its vir
tues are known, the public no longer hesitate what
antidotes to employ for the distressing and danger
ous affections of the pulmonary organs that arc in
cident to our climate. While many inferior reme
dies thrust upon the commuuity have failed and
been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can
never forget, and produced cures too numerous
and too remarkable ever to be forgotten.
