8. B. ROW. EPITOR AD PROrRIETOU.
CLEARFIELD, PA., Alffc. 10, 1859.
PEOPLE'S STATE TICKET.
FOR AUDlTOn GENERAL.
TUOMAS E. COCI1RAX, of York.
FOR SCRTEYOR GENERAL,
WILLIAM. II. KEIM, of Berks.
The Extravagance of the Goyekxmest.
The wild extravagance of this administration,
remarks the Pittsburgh Gazetlt, cannot too
nrrpn Tw hrninrht before the public. It has
the hardihood to deny that extravagance, and
to claim that it is 'reforming" and "retrench
ing" the expenses of the government; and in
order to show that the claim is a fraudulent
one, it becomes necessary to revert to fact
which are a part of the history of the past
In "old fog)"" times, before Profligacy was
President, and Corruption got hold of the
money bags, the revenues of the government
were deemed ample for the Federal expenses
In fact, such an extravagant and reckless ad
ministration as General Pierce's was consid
cred to be, could not manage to dispose of lb
immense income, even in bribe-funds and dis
sipation, but was compelled to hand over to its
successor more than twenty-five millions of
dollars. Since the accession of "J. B.," tho
what with dishonest office-holders, thieving
contractors and Navy Yard sinecures, the bal
ancc sheet is an awful one. Look at the items
Oa the 4th of March, ISG7, when "J. B."
came into power, there was a balance in the
Treasury of $26,000,000.
On the 3d of June, 1857,. it was reduced to
$17,-500,000.
On the 1st of January, 18-J8, it was reduced
to nothing.
On the 10th of January, IS-38, the govern
ment was compelled to borrow $20,000,000
In August, 1858, $10,000,000 more.
In January, 1S-59, $10,000,000 more.
And now it wants $30,000,000 to commence
a debt of $500,000,000.
It may be said that the receipts into the
treasury, vow, are equal to its disbursements
but they ara so only because the country is
repeating, under the low-tarriflf policy now
prevailing, the sad experience of 1857 by
which, within the first six months of the ad
ministration, it was involved in a commercial
crisis which brought ruin to the doors of the
people. We are now, in its third year, fast
rushing on to a similar fate. The government
officials are rejoicing at the large revenue com
ing in from imports, which is saving the na
tional treasury from ntter bankruptcy, but all
the while the prudent men of the land are
looking on with alarm at the terrible volume
of those imports, the immense foreign debt
they are creating, and the unceasing outflow
of specie, already in the first seven months of
the year, equal to the entire yearly product of
the California mines. It is not too much to
say that if these importations be kept up a
few months longer, the country will be precip
itated upon another crisis, equal in its ruinous
effects to that of 1857. Two such crashes
within two years ought to be enough to satisfy
to the full ambition lor mischief which seems
to possess this administration above all that
ever preceded it. One half the time it can
not raise the money to meet its extravagant
expenses, and then it borrows; and when,
during the other half, it does collect as much
money as it needs, it does so at the expense of
the prosperity of the country and at the risk
of plunging it into the deepest financial dis
tress. A government so corrupt, so reckless,
and so extravagant mast, it would seem, either
bankrupt itself or the people. The punish
ment follows the crime, in either case; and
the only escape from it is to turn the criminals
out of power.
Washixctox .Natioxal Moxcm ext. The
construction of a Monument at the Federal
Capital in honor of "the father of his country,"
is an object which should enlist the aid and
influence of every patriotic citizen. Among
the various projects on foot to raise funds to
prosecute the work, which has been some time
suspended, is that of placing boxes in the va
rious post offices throughout the Union, for
the reception of such contributions as those
w ho repair to the offices may see fit to make
the postmasters to make quarterly returns of
the amounts so collected. As a matter of
course, it is not expected that any very large
contributions will be made, but that they will
consist of such trifling amounts as can be
spared at any time. However insignificant,
by themselves, these amounts may seem, they
will swell to an important aggregate when col
lected from all of the 30,000 post offices in the
United States. This is a good plan, and will
give every one no matter what his station in
life an opportunity of contributing his mite
to one of the most commendable cnterprizes
ever started in the country. C. D. Watson,
the worthy postmaster in this Borough, has
had a box made and placed at a convenient
place in the office, and we trust no one will
iail to drop a contribution into it whenever it
can be conveniently done.
The Washington Constitution announces a
discovery which may startle the country. It
- is that Senator Seward has gone to Europe
professedly on a tour of pleasure and observa
tion, but in fact to perfect an alliance to over
throw this Government ! Let the Democratic
organs sound the alarm ! - -
Kansas. -The Kansas Convention, forthe
purpose of drafting a State Constitution, has
adjourned sine die. It closed its labors by
framing a strongly anti-slavery instrument,
and all that is required to render it effective,
is the approval of the people, to whom it will
be submitted in October. This it -will, no
doubt, receive, and then it will be presented
Congress at the next session." In reference
to the proceedings of the Convention, tne
Washington Republic remarks :
This Constitution.however, has been fram
ed in utter disregard and defiance of the Eng
lish bill, and it becomes a question of sonic
interest, h hether the admission of Kansas in
to the Union will be resisted on that ground.
The English bill requires that before the peo
ple of Kansas shall be authorised to form a
State Constitution, it shall be ascertained by
a census, taken according to law, that the ter
ritory has a population equal to the ratio re
quired for a lleprescntattvo in Congress. No
such census has been taken. Even if a census
should now be taken, after the formation of
the Constitution, it would be no compliance
witli the act of Congress. Are we, then, to
have another Kansas controversy in the ap
proaching Congress.orwill the Administration
back down and permit her to come into the
Union in defiance of the act which it cost so
much trouble and treasure to pass? This
will be mortifying to tho Administration, no
doubt, but still we think they will have to
come to it. It will be nseless to attempt fur
ther resistance. The Administration has very
little money at its command to operate with,
and as to the offices, the tenure by which they
are held is now so short that they are by no
means as available to influence votes in Con
gress as they were during the Lecompton
controversy."
The Kansas troubles we think arc over. All
the ingenuity of the pro-slavery interest can
not keep this State out of the Confederacy.
The young commonwealth has earned this po
sition by years ot suffering, which no State
fcas undergone since the organization of the
"immortal thirteen." Let us, then, prepare
to welcome the "vounzest born of liberty" in
the family of commonwealths.
Gov. Wise Defining His Position. The
public have been favored with a six column let
ter from Governor Wise, of Virginia, in reply
to certain questions addressed to him by a
number of his follow citizens, of the Old Do
minion, who flatteringly allude to his position
as a candidate for the Presidency. The two
main questions upon which Mr. Wise spreads
himself, are the protection due to naturalized
citizens returning to the country of theirbirth ;
the re-opening of the African Slave Trade,
and the enactment by Congress cf a Slave
Code for the Territories.
In the first place, Mr. Wise goes in for the
fullest protection to naturalized citizens. In
the second place, he declares himself opposed
to the reopening of the slave trade, which he
considers offensive to the large majority of
slaveholders, and of the people of the South.
In the third place, he does not consider the
enactment of a "slave code" for the Territo
ries judicious or necessary, but he holds that
the slaveholder going into a Territory of the
United States, with his slave property, is en
titled under the Constitution, to be protected
in the possession and use of that property.
He would not permit the people of a Territory,
previous to their assuming the responsibilities
of State Government, to exclude slave prop
erty by unfriendly legislation. Such are three
planks of the Governor's platform, and he
may be considered as fairly on the course for
the Presidential prize.
The miserable dependence of our people
upon Europe in one respect, is illustrated by
the announcement that Mr. Cushman, the new
United States Minister to the Argentine Con
federation, will sail for Southampton.England,
and there take a British steamer for Buenos
Ayres this being the only way he can reach
his destination. -Ouly think of a man having
to cross the Atlantic twice, in English steam
ships, to reach a sister Republic, on our own
Continent ! The fact is a disgraceto our peo
ple and onrGovcrnment. Phil. Arttus (Dem.)
That is "just so," but while a Loco Foco
free trade party rules us, there is no help for
it. We every week give to the manufacturers
of Europe money enough to build a line of
steamships, and the mechanics who should
build them are either idle or hunting some
useless employment, in which to find a subsis
tence, because their services as mechanics are
not wanted. Loco Focoism is an incubus
which weighs down the energies of the people,
and makes our once free States mere colonies
to the monarchies of Europe. PAif. Daily
yews.
Joux Mitchell Apologies. John Mitchell,
who has, ever since his advent in the United
States, been a strong friend of the Democratic
party, and bitterly hostile to the Americans,
canrt stand the new doctrine of Mr. Cass rela
tive to naturalized citizens, and in comment
ing upon it, indulges in the following apolo
gy :
"It is no great triumph for us to be com
pelled to acknowledge that the Know Xoth
ings were right all the time, and to retract
whatever we may have heretofore said against
that philosophical body of men. Our language
in dealing with the American party (that title
can no longer be denied them) has sometimes
been harsh and bitter ; we take it back ; eat it
up, though it goes against the stomach, and
must digest it as best we may at our leisure.
We request the American party, then tho on
ly rational and consistent Americans we are
aware of to accept our respectful apologies."
The importation of foreign dry goods into
the sea-port towns of the East, for the fall
trade, continues unabated. According to the
Nevr York Times, the entries into the Custom
House of that city, for the past week, were
$4,988,720, against $1,679,000 same week last
year, and $4,378,698 same week in 1857. The
entries since January l,have been $67,572,056,
asainst $27,189,C83 same time in 1858, and
So0,940,512 same time in 1859. To pay for
these goods, the steamers from New York,
last week, carried out over two millions of
dollars in specie.
The Opposition have gained considerably
on the Democrats in Tennessee ; and have
gained two, if not three members of Congress.
The Democrats have elected their Governor.
In Kentucky the Opposition have gained
several members of Congress ; but the Demo
crats elected their Governor and State offi
cers, by from 7,000 to 10,000 majority.
The news from Texas, so far as received,
would indicate that Gen. Sam Houston has
been chosen Governor, by a majority of 3 or
4000.
It would appear from the partial returns re
ceived, that the Opposition have gained one
Congressman in the 1st district in N. Carolina.

Ax Interesting Predicament. Two days
ago, says the Chicago Times, was lodged in
the jail of this county an elderly Englishman,
named Joseph Elliot, for a debt of $16, due
for his board. Elliott had just received let
ters from Great Britain announcing the fact
that the sum of Jt'5,4.00 sterling, with interest
from 1836, is now lying to his credit in the
Bank of England, yet the old man has not the
tees to enable him to appear before the coun
ty judge to swear out of jail.

v Crops in California. A correspondent of
the New York Times, writing from San Fran
cisco, says : "Turning to our agricultural re
sources we find that the harvest is rapidly pro
gressing in our grain growing districts The
crops ot wheat and oariey are immense, ana
if vou at the .East should not have ureaastuus
enough to feed European armies during the
pending war, we shall probably be able to help
makeup the deficiency. Certainly we need
no Eastern flour for our own consumption ;
and r.o one will think of usinsr Ilaxall or Gen-
cssce wheat after trying our best California
brands."

yourself up for the night in.the folds of a rose,
rocked to sleep by the gentle sighs of a sum
mer's air, and nothing to do when you awake
but to wash yourself in a dew-drop and fall to
and eat your bed-clothes ! . '
The handsome pair of jet black horses, late
ly owned by Mr. Sanderson, of Somervillc,
X. J., which attracted so much attention at
the State Fair, have been sold to the Emperor
Napoleon for $4,000. For the last ten years
these horses have taken all the prizes lor car
riage horses in the State ; they also took the
prize in the Springfield Horse Fair. They
were bought to match a team of bays bought
in this country. The horses sailed for France
last week.
A touching story is related of a Zouave,
who had picked up a wounded Austrian and
was carrying him out of the melee. - As he
was trudging along with tho man rtponjliis
back, he felt something cold upon his neck,
and cautiously looking around perceived that
the poor fellow wftfr a pair of scissors which
ho had contrived to draw from his poeket, was
cutting off a lock of bis preserver's hair to
keep as a memento. ' '
A party of gentlemen went to Chess Springs,
in Blair county, Pa., recently to hunt squir

time among the long tailed beauties. They
were absent two days, and succeeded in cjj
turing ten squirrels, all told. The total ex
pense of the party, counting loss, time and
horse hire footed "up to $22,00, being $2,20
per squirrel ! Rather expensive squirrel pie,
that. - i -

Tuscan Archduchess and some others of the
royal blood, have died within a few months,
and now we have intelligence of the death of"
