S. B. ROW, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA., OCT. 18, 1859.
THE ELECTION'.
The election is over, and the so-called De
mocracy of Pennsylvania are well whipped
Thomas E. Cochran and Win. H. Keini, the
candidates of the People's party for Auditor
General and Surveyor General, are elected by
majorities of from 15,000 to 20,000. Out of
the 11 Senators chosen, we have ; elected 10,
and of the 100 Representatives onr party has
carried 67. Here, in the "wild-cat" region,
where the Democracy were thought to be se
euro beyond all peradventure, the districts
having been formed so as to give them very
large majorities, they are badly used up.
Samuel Linn, the Opposition candidate for
President Judge, though fircely and malig
nantly assailed, and notwithstanding his com
petitor had the active eupport of Senator Big-
lerand other prominent and influential men,
has a majority of 461 votes. Lonis W. Hall,
our candidate for State Senator, against whom
was raised the cry of ''tonnage lax," "monopo
ly candidate," "increase of taxes," &c, beats
Durbin about 600. In the Representative dis
trict, it is conceded that we have elected I
saac G. Gordon, and, perhaps, Wni. A. JTich
ois. This is "glory enough for one day," to
say nothing of the fact that in our own coun
ty we have cut down, on the State ticket, the
Democratic majority, which last year was 520,
to 333whilst on the county ticket one of their
candidates has but S6, and several of thera less
than 200 majority. Our political friends have
abundant cause for rejoicing, and we trust
the result will give them fresh courage and in
cite them to continue their efforts in behalf of
the principles of Freedom and Protection to
American Labor, and we feel certain that the
day will come when the reign of Locofocoism
will be at an end, even in Clearfield county.
FaoM Et-ROPE. By the arrival of the steam
ship .North Britain at the Father Point, we
have European advices to the 5th inst. A tol
graphic dispatch from Paris announces the
death by apoplexy, on the 3d, of the Hon.
John. J". Mason, U. S. Embassador to France,

There is talk of a speedy end of negotiations
at Zurich, and of general pacification ; but It
aly is still heaving with the throes of incipient
revolution. A collision between the Pope's
troops and those of Romagn3 seems inevita
ble, audit is barely possible that Sardinia
should not be involved in the fray. The Pope
is said to have tendered the Sardinian Minis
ter bis passports. Garibaldi has summoned
the Italians of the Legations to arms. France
is said to be again arming at all events not
disarming. Spain has offered to send troops
to aid the Pope.

The controversy between Judge Black and
Senator Douglas promises to be interminable.
Senator Douglas, it is annouced, is preparing
a rejoinder, over his own signature," to Judge
Black's second reply to his Magazine essay.
"Whether the cause of trntb and sonnd princi
ples will gain much by the discussion remains
to be seen. The partisan purposes and temper
of the disputants do not inspire any strong
hopes in that respect."
Miswesota. The news from this young
State is of the most cheering character. The
Republicans have nobly won a stoutly contest
ed battle, electing their entire State ticket,
and securing a gain of two Republican mem
bers of Congress. This is a glorious result,
and is a fit accompaniment to the victories
won on the same day in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indians and Iowa, by the opponents of the
Black Democracy.
TVo can't to a certainty give the result of
the election for Representatives. In Jeffer
son county, Gordon has 420, and Nichols 230
maj. over Boyer, who Is the highest on the
Democratic ticket. IfMc&ean has done her
doty, both our candidates are elected.
"We did not receive the official returns of all
the counties fn the State, for Auditor and
Surveyor General, in time for our paper this
week, but we will give them in our next.

Arctic researches. She is in the South of

THE "IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT."
The organs of the Black Democracy harp
day after day upon a passage in the speech of
Senator Seward at Rochester, in which be
states that there is an irrepressible conflict be
tween Freedom and Slavery, and that the ti
nned States will eventually be either all free
or all slave. In a speech, delivered before the
Colonization Society, in January 1827, Henry
Clay expressed the same rdea, only, if any
thing, in stronger language) and hence he may
be regarded as the author of the "irrepressi
ble conflict" doctrine. In the speech refer
red to, the great American Statesman said :
"We are reproached with doing mischief by
the agitation of this question. The Society
goos inty no household to disturb its domes
tic tranquility ; it addresses itself to no slaves,
to weaken their obligations of obedience. It
seeks to afiectno man's property. It neither
has the power nor the will to affect the proper
ty of any one, contrary to his consent. The
execution of its schemes would augment, in
stead of diminish, the value of the property
left behind. The Society, composed of free
men, concerns itself only -with the free. Col
lateral consequences, we are not responsible
for. It is not this Society which has produc
ed the great moral revolution which the age
exhibits. What would they, who thus reproach
us, have done ? If they would repress all ten
dencies toward Liberty and ultimate emanci
pation, they must do more than put down the
benevolent efforts of this Society. They must
go back to the era of our Liberty and Indepen
dence, and muetlo the cannon which thunders
its annual joyous return. They must revive
the slave trade, with all its train of atrocities.
They must suppress the workings of British
philanthropy, seeking to ameliorate the con
dition of the unfortunate West Indian slaves.
They must arrest the career of South Ameri
can deliverence from thraldcm. They must
blow out the moral lights around us, and ex
tinguish the greatest torch of all, which Amer
ica presents to a benighted world, pointing
the way to their rights, their liberties, and
their happiness. And when they have achiev
ed all these purposes, their work will be yet
incomplete. They must penetrate the human
soul, and eradicate the light of reason and the
love of liberty. Then, and not till then.wben
universal darkness and despair prevail, can
you perpetuate slavery, and repress all sympa
thies and all humane and benevolent efforts a
mong freemen, in behalf of the unhappy por
tion of our race w ho are doomed to bondage."
Another Fallen Minister. The descent
to hell is easy. The Rev. Dr. Win. M. Daily
was tried a few days ago at Bloomington by
the Indiana Conference, and expelled, by a
vote of Sixty-three to sixteen,for drunkenness
and lewdness. What a commentary on the
dangerous consequnces likely to result from
the slightest departure from the path of cler
ical dignity ! Dr. Daily was formerly Presi
dent of the Bloomington University. For
many years he ranked high as a minister in the
Methodist Episcopal Church ; he gradually,
however, connected himself with the outside
world, and his sacred calling was often forgot
ten amid the reelry and corruption of poli
tics ; at a later stage be acquired a taste for
the fatal bowl ; finally he was conquered by a
passion for women. The fault was his own ;
he had for many years walked so near the edge
of the pit of ruin that in an unlucky mdment
he was carried down the precipice.
Sharp Shooting asd Sharper Practice.
The Frcdonia (N. Y.)Censor tells of the sharp
est betting trick that we have heard of for
some time. A Mr. Jackson Sage made a
wager of $500 with some parties in Fredonia,
that htt could shoot fifty consecutive rifle
shots oC-band,at a target of two and one-fourth
inches, at the distance of ten rods, without
or.ee missing the mark, ne accomplished the
feat, but did it by setting up a heavy boiler
irok funnel, one foot in diameter at the wider
end, and tapering to a size less than that of
the mark, just in front of the target. He had
only to keep his ball within five or six inches
of the mark, and the (nnnel took them home,
sure. He had the Yankee impudence to de
mand the stakes after this perform ance.and we
cannot feel certain that he did not deserve
them, for his sharp trick, if not for bis sharp
shooting.
It is reported that the President intends
bringing a libel suit against Forney, for his re
marks in the Press upon the death of Broder
ick. ' The libelous paragraph is as follows :
"David C. Broderick has yielded up his life
for a sacred principle. If he had surrendered
to the blandishments of the Administration,
he might to-day be living among his numer
ous friends. It was only because he refused
to compromise the truth,and to abandon his sol
emn pledges, that we are now called upon to
mourn his untimely, death. Thus has fallen
the first great martyr to the political princi
ples of the campaign of 1859 ! We ask the
arch traitor to those principles if, in his old
age, and in the sunset of his life, he can feel
that his hands are clear of the heart's blood
of David C. Broderick."
Democratic Dilemma. TheWyandotte Con
stitution has been ratified by the people of
Kansas, by a decisive majority, despite the
desperate? efforts of. the Democracy for its de
feat. It remains to be seen whether that par
ty, having the Executive and the Senate, at
Washington, will use their power to keep the
new State out of the Union. By the Nebraska-Kansas
act they are pledged in lavor of ad
mission ; and by the English bill (voted for by
Mr. Pugh) they are pledged the other way, no
census having yet been taken. Which horn
of the dilemma will they choose ?
Just prior to the opening of the Public
Schools of Brooklyn, a few weeks since, one
of the Roman Catholic clergymen made thera
tbo subject of a Sunday discourse. Their
"godless" character was forcibly depicted ;
the charge was made that they were the hot
beds of vice and infidelity, and parents were
vehemently urged not to patronize them. Two
or three Roman Catholic Institutions, held in
the unwholesome basements of churches, it is
said, were - recommended to the patronage of
the faithful. : ;
Singular ChargesAgainst a Clergyman. '
A council of ministers of the Christian Bap
tist denomination was held at Warren, K- I.,
on Wednesday last, for the purpose of exam
ining into charges against Rev. S. K. Sweet
mau, of Swansea, Mass. The charges are :
The publication of an unchristian and uncler
ical pamphlet ; making false representations
to a Bristol church in order to hurry it into
closing a bargain ; borrowing a shirt and not
returning it ; sermon stealing, and advertising
for a wiJe while the third one was still living.

PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.
PREPARED FOR THE "RAFTSMAN'8 JOURNAl."
McKean County. Week before last, the
trial of James Dunn for the murder of James
Stocker, came off in Smethport. The. murder
was committed on the first of July last, iii the
township of Ceres. Dunn and Stocker lived
neighbors. - A few days prior to the murder,
a dispute arose between the two about some
business matter, which had ended in Dunn
brandishing a spade and threatening to cut
Stocker down with it. Although the amount
in dispute was small, Dunn seemed to have
treasured up a deep sense of wrong, and made
various threats against Stocker. On the eve
ning of the murder, Dunn left the village of
Ceres, , in a state of intoxication. He was
seen in a thick hemlock forest," into which the
road up Bell's Run plunges, by a Mrs. Can- and
a Miss Benson, who some ten rods farther on
also met Stocker, who was in search of a stray
cowi - Twenty or thirty minutes later, a young
hian named Fuller,accompanied by two young
er brothers, was proceeding up the same road,
when they, fouud Stocker lying dead on the
edge of the road, the back part of his head
having been horribly mashed with a club.which
was smeared with blood and brains and the
gray hairs of the deceased. There had evi
dently been no conflict or struggle. Other
circumstances seemed to fix upon Dunn the
murder, beyond a doubt, and the jury, after
being out about 9 hours, delivered ; their ver
dict. It was for Death
Indiana County. A young . man named
Bowers, of Pine township, was brought to
Indiana Borough on the 2d inst., taken before
Esq. Reed, and afterwards sent to jail to await
his trial on a charge of stealing hogs, calves,
and sheep. Other members of the same fam
ily are said to be implicated in the same offen
ces, who have thus far managed to elude the
officers. ... On Saturday.tho 2d inst., as three
children of Samuel Rice, Esq., of Green town
ship, were amusing themselves in a field con
venient to the house, an old dead tree was
blown down by a passing gust of w ind, w hich
fell upon the youngest of the. three, a little
boy, aged about three years, and killed him
instantly. One of the other children who was
in the immediate neighborhood at the time,
barely escaped with its life. ... A Wild Cat
and Catamount were recently killed in the
neighborhood of West Lcbauon. . . . On the
5th inst., a man named Samuel Shepler,whi!st
on his way to Indiana in the cars, fleeced a
citizen of that county out of a quantity of
small change, a gold watch and several hun
dred dollars in Railroad bonds, by playing
cards. The operation was perceived by Esq.
Reed, who was on the cars at the time, aud
who on his arrival In Indiana had Shepler ar
rested and imprisoned. The sharper delivered
up the watch, bonds and money, but has not
been released. An accomplice made his es
cape. Armstrong Cocntt. A yonng man named
Rupard, adjoining the Indiana county line, had
his arm torn off above the elbow by a Thresh
ing Machine, while engaged in helping to
thresh Buckwheat on the 11th inst. The arm
was so badly lacerated as to require a second
amputation above the wound, which operation
was skillfully performed by Dr. M'Chesney
and Dr. Park, and the young man is in a fair
way of recovery. Another lad, a companion,
in making haste with the distressing news to
the house near at hand, had one of his arms
fractured in attempting to scale a fence. . . .
On Thursday the 12th, Leo lieilman, son of
Isaac Heilnian, of Manor township, while as
sisting in threshing Buck wheat, wit ha machine,
got his left arm caught by a strap, which
whirled it round the pully, and entirely sever
ed it between the hand and elbow. Drs. Mc-
.Culloch and Otto were called, who found the
elbow joint so badly injured as to render an
amputation above the elbow neccessary.
Washington County. A son of Mr. Lewis
Newkirk, of Somerset township., aged about
eleven years, was kicked by a horse on Sunday

ing caught in the master wheel of a threshing
machine on exhibition at the county fair. The
flesh was completely torn from the boue, on
one side of the foot,f rom the heel to the toes.
It was the opinion of Dr. Clark, the attending
physician, that amputation would not be ren
dered necessary.
Columbia County. On the 10th inst., Jacob
Girten, known as "Cooney," attempted to
spring on a freight train, at the Depot in
Bloomsburg, while the cars were in motion,
but, missing his hold, was drawn upon the

letters bore the address of James M. Myers.
Lawrence County. On Saturday morning,
the 8th inst, while Mr-Ethan Thomas, resi
ding near Princeton, was engaged in hawling
wood, he met with a serious, and perhaps fatal
accident. Having brought a load to the house,

tongue of the wagon, in order to unload the
wood,' when his foot slipped, precipitating him
to the ground about the horses feet. His legs
becoming entangled he was dragged some five

SUMMARY OF NEWS.
Last week was an exciting one in the religions
community of Philadelphia. The noon pray
er meetings continue crowded, and the;prcs
ence of the American Board, with the cleri
cal strangers from Ireland, gave unusual in
terest to their proceedings. At ou of them a
little Indian boy from Bengal was produced,
having been picked up friendless in the streets
of Baltimore, unable to speak or understand
our language, and brought on. here to save
him from Slavery. An Indian missionary in
terpreted for him on the platform, but in re
ply to a question in Hindoo whether he knew
who God was, or Jesus Christ, he answered
that he had never heard of them. The mis
sionary then prayed aloud in Hindoo,and this
was followed by a general prayer for the con
version of India. This poor helpless waif is
in Christian keeping, and will be well taken
care of.
Douglas. The defeat in Ohio and Iowa is
a sore blow to Douglas. His friends there
thrust the Admjnistration men to the wall and
fought the battle upon the Douglas issue.
The defeat, therefore, falls upon him. He lo
ses his friend Pugh in the Senate, and des
troys his chances for the delegates from those
States to the National Convention. In New
Hampshire, also, we notice 'that tho Douglas
men have been beaten in the choice of dele
gates to the National Convention.
Prince Napoleon, says the Xoucelistl'auJois,
has purchased for 700,00Cf. a fine estate called
the Bergerie, situated on the Lake of Geneva.
The Prince seems to entertain strong objec
tions against travelling with his wife. He left
Paris about a fortnight ago fer Geneva. Ills
consort. Princess Clotilde, followed him on
the wings of love three days after, but he un
gallantly sent her back to Paris.
KEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
A man named Daniel Stafford stole a pair
of oxen near Detroit last week, and in tour-
teen hours from the commission of the deed,
he had been arrested, tried, convicted, and
was'on his way to the State Prison under a
sentence for three years. This was pretty
quick work, but commendable and worthy of
imitation in older communities.
John A. Washington has "suspended." It
was stated, some time since, that ho had in
vested $175,000 of the money he recived for
the bones of his great ancestor in corner lots
in Chicago. The presumption was that he had
paid over the cash lor them ; but it seems that
he gave his notes for them, and they have
gone to protest.
A man in Milwaukee a few days ago shot a
wild cat within the city limits. Stretched at
full length it measured five, feet, while the ac
tual length of its body was nearly three feet.
It was very lank and poor, although possessed
of great muscle,and was doubtless driven from
its usual haunts by the pangs of hunger.
Another Fatal Duel in California. A
dnelwas fought on the ICth ult., near San
Andreas, California, by Dr. Peterson Goodwyn
and Col. Wm. Jeff Gatewood. Weapons ri
fles ; distance forty yards. At the first fire
Dr. Goodwyn fell mortally wounded, and died
about two hours afterwards. '
The hand and wrist of Coe, the balloonist,

his balloon lodged, and broke his wrist, have
been amputated, to save his life. '
