CLEARFIELD, PA., MAY 16, 1860.
TOB PRESIDENT,
' GEN. SIMON CAMERON,
Subject to the decision of the Chicago Convention
FOR GOVERNOR,
HON. ANDREW G. CTJRTIN.
Constitutional Union Convention.
This body met at Baltimore on last Wednesday.
There were Delegates present, we believe, from
most of the States and Territories. Some of those
who teok part in the movement are men of high
distraction. Hon. John J.Crittenden, of Ky., call
ed the Convention to erdcr. Hon. Washington
Hunt, of N. Y., was selected as permanent chair
man. A business committee of one from each
State, with Jos. R. Ingersoll, of Pa., at its head,
was appointed. This committee made a report,
setting forth that as all political platforms are am
biguous and deceptive, both patriotism and duty
require that they should recognizo no policy or
principles but those resting on the broad founda
tion of the Constitution of the country, the Union
of the States and the enforcement of the laws, and
that to maintain, proteet and defend these prin
ciples, the representatives of the Constitutional
Union Party pledged themselves. The report was
adopted by acclamation, after which the Conven
tion proceeded to a ballot for President, with the
following result: Houston 57, Everett 25, Gra
ham 22, Crittenden 23, Bates 91, Bell 68i, McLean
22, Sharkey 6, Goggin 3, Hires 13 whole number
of votes 254 ; necessary to a choice 123. On the
second ballot, Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, was
declared nominated for President. Hon. Edward
Everett, of Mass., was then nominated for Vice
President, by acclamation. After the appoint
ment of a Central National Execs tire Committee,
the Convention adjourned sine die.
, The action of the Chicago Convention, which as
sembles to-day, will now be looked for with more
interest than ever. Upon it hangs the result of
the coming Presidential election.
The Covode Committee is bringing to light some
new evidences of corruption. Mr. Printer Wen
dell was again before that Committee last Thurs
day, and his testimony proved that from $30,000
to $40,000 was expended in carrying the English
bill through the House for bribing members Mr.
Bean of Ohio, a clerk in Mr. Allen's office, in the
last Congress, and Mr. Alex. K. Hay of Philadel
phia, a Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Express, and a member of the National Union par
ty, were the almoners of this fund. Mr. Wendell
did not deny that from $10,000 to $15,000 had
been paid for a single vote, which was to be reim
bursed from Government patronage. He was in
frequent intercourse with the President during
the progress of the English bill, and the presump
tion is, that Mr. Buchanan was not altogether ig
norant of the means which were used to influence
legislation. It will be interesting to know into
whose pockets this money found its way, and with
' the cine given, it is not likely the Committee will
rest satisfied without eliciting furthor information.
High Water. The rains of the past week rais
d the water in many of the streams in this State
to an unusual stage, and caused much dauiag to
property of different kinds. The West Branch of
the Susquehanna was higher than it had been for
number of yews previous. On Friday morning
abont one o'clock the large boom at Williamsport
broke, and it is thought that eighty million feet
of logs went adrift. , At Sunbury the river was
literally covered, on Friday, with logs, and on
Saturday morning large numbers of them floated
past Harrisburg. The boom company, we see, of
fer a shilling a piece for all logs that are caught
and saved. This sort of lumber is estimated to be
worth, in the boom, $5 per thousand feet; and
the loss will neeessarily be great. The Juniata
and its tributaries were also very high, and it is
caid that Tyrone City was almost entirely inunda
ted the water ranning through the streets to the
depth of two feet. Much damage was done along
both the Bald Eagle and the Juniata.
The Federal Judiciary and the Mormons seem
to be more at variance than ever, and a recent re
lease on habeas corpus, by Chief Justice Eckles, of
five prisoners who had been confined in the peni
tentiary by authority of a mittimus from the Pro
bate Court for the County of Great Salt Lake, had
called down npon him the most violent abuse from
the Mountaineer, the organ of the Saints. It was
stated that Gov. Cumming had been hard at work
with some Mormon friends preparing affidavits to
send to Washington regarding the release of these
prisoners, and taking the strongest ground against
the action of Judge Eckels. One or two shooting
affrays are reported. The troops rejoiced at the
prospect of getting away from the Territory.
Congress. In the Senate, on the 10th inst, the
Senate's Homestead bill was passed by a vote of
44 to 8, after Mr. Wilkinson's amendment, which
pnt pre-emptors of five years on the same footing
with settlers who should hereafter settle upon the
pablio lands, was rejected .by Democratic votes.
Mr. Wade renewed his motion to substitute the
House bill, but it was rejected by a vote of 25 yeas
to 30 nays. A good work was done in the House.
The Tariff btll f Mr. Morrill was passed by 41
majority. All sorts of fillibustering was employed
to prevent this resnlt, but in vIn, It remains to
ie seen what the Senate will do with it.
The Petersburg Iutelligetutr announces that
Virginia is ready to sell the Panhandle to Penn
sylvania, for a sum equivalent to one year's legal
interest on the assessed value -of property therein.
This sudden change f policy, it seems, has been
brought abeut by the Republicanism of the inhab
itants of that portion f the State, and the fear of
having the ad valorem tax -system upon slaves,
brought into the politicsof Virginia, if Brooks and
Ohio counties are not got rid of at once.
The Secedors from the Charleston Convention,
it seems, are being sustained by their constitu
ents. A meeting lor this purpose was held at
Mobile, Alabama, on the 12th inst., and Delegates
were appointed, to the Richmond Convention.
THE METHODISTS AND SLAVERY.
The element which enters into the discus
sion ot ever; vital question in the political,
social, or religious life ot America, is Negro
Slavery. The Methodist Charch, once sever
ed by it, is now strongly agitated in its North
ern wing through the same cause. In order
to present a clear Idea of the manner in which
this question is now brought up in the Gene
rat Conference in session at Butl'alojait will be
necessary only to refer to certain, well-known
points in the history of the Church.
When the Methodist Episcopal Church was
organized, a rule was adopted forbidding the
buying and selling of men, women, and chil
dren with an intention to enslave them. This
rule slumbered Inactive for many years, then
caused discussion, dissension, and, at last, a
division of the Church into the Methodist
Church North and the Methodist Church
South. The Northern wing includes some
border Slave States ; in them are more than a
thousand preachers, and at least a hundred
thousand members. Ilence the continuance
of the contest on the Slavery question, which
has now come to a head. The Church North
is to-day divided into two general parties on
this subject-r-the Conservatives and the Pro
gressives. The former desire the rule to re
main as it is ; the latter wish it so extended or
interpreted as to include the holding of slaves,
making the fact of holding a prima facie proof
of an intent to enslave. The bar to the mak
ing ol a new rule is clearly seen to be insur
mountable ; for by the laws of the Church, no
change in its rules can be made, except on the
recommendation of the Annual Conferences
and the action of the General Conference, or
on the action of the General Conference in the
first instance, and the subsequent indorsement
by the Annuat Conferences. In either case
two-thirds of the votes in the General Confer
ence and three-foarths of the votes in the An
nal Conferences would be required, and this it
would be impossible to get on the Slavery
question, while some of the Annual Confer
ences are controlled by slave-holders. But,
though the rule may not be changed, it can be
authoritatively defined, so as to include the
holding ol slaves, as well as the buying and
selling with intent to enslave, and this policy
is that most likely to be adopted.
At the General Conference in 1856, three
propositions were submitted to the Annual
Conference in order to obtain a full expression
of opinion from them. These propositions are
substantially as follows: The Erie proposition
asks tor a change of the rule so as to forbid
slaveholding, or for any interpretation which
shall produce the same result. The Provid
ence proposition declares the buying and sell
ing of men, women, and children, with the in
tention to enslave them, inconsistent with
Chiistianity. The Cincinnati proposition asks
for a change in favor of non-slaveholding, but
not excluding slaveholders from the rights of
membership. The votes of the Annual Con
ferences show that twenty-nine of the forty-
seven are strongly opposed to the rule in its
present form. Fourteen arc in favor of it, but
five of these are so because they consider it
sufficiently Anti-Slavery if properly enforced.
A great mass of petitions on the subject have
been presented to the Buffalo Conference.
Twenty thousand names in opposition to Sla
very, and about lour thousand in favor, arc
upon these papers. An address from the Bri
tish Wcsleyan Methodists, in which the hope
13 expressed that this Conference will use all
possible means to drive Slavery " from the
Church and the land," was read, and ordered
to be printed ; thus was shown a different state
of feeling from that prevailing In 1836, when
so much of the address of the British brethren
as related to Slavery was cut out in the print
ing, and now lies dead in the records of the
General Conference.
The whole subject petitions, propositions,
rules, new and old has been referred to a
Committee, whose report is daily expected,
and upon which an exciting debate must sure
ly arise.
Sequel to a Tracedt. Our readers will
generally remember the Mercer and Heberton
tragedy that occurred in Philadelphia many
years since. A man of some wealth and soci
al position named Heberton bad seduced Miss
Mercer, a young woman of seventeen, and re
fused to repair the matter by marriage. A
brother took vengeance into his own hands,
waylaid the seducer in a ferry-boat, and shot
him dead. For this he was tried for murder
and acquitted. Since that period he led a
wild career, and finally, about two years since,
was shot in a restaurant in Philadelphia. The
sister was married a few years subsequent to
the death of Heberton, lived unhappily with
her husband, was drowned, and we find her
death recorded in an exchange. The whole
family have now passed away.
Mormon Wives "A Fair Shake Demand
ed." Brother Kimball in one of his famous
Mormon sermons, served the following timely
notice on a number of missionaries who were
about starting out on a proselyting tour :
Brethren, I want you to understand that it is
not to be as it has been heretofore. The bro
thcr missionaries have been in the habit of
picking out the prettiest women for themselves
before they get here, and bringing on the ugli
est ones for us ; hereafter you have to bring
them all here before taking any of them, and
let us all have a fair shake.
A man named Joseph Feagloar died of con
sumption in Cincinnati last week, lie nad a
sister, a Mrs. Joseph Deckar, married and liv
ing in ainuence at my ion, unio, ana witn a
stinginess and hcartlcssness scarcely to be
conceived of, after, being sent for to take
charge of her brother's body, she declined do
ing so, and left it to be interred at the ex
pense of the Methodist Episcopal Church in
Cincinnati, of which he had been for a short
time a member. What a sister! What a
heart to carry through tho world 1
Mode op Voting. There are many persons,
no doubt, unable to explain how the halt
votes " are given in the Charleston Conven
tion. For the information of such, let us il
lustrale it. Each congressional district sends
two delegations, but under the rules adopted
by that body, a district is entitled to only one
vote. When, therefore, tho two delegates
vote as a unit for instance, for Mr. Douglas
they are counted as one ; but when they divide,
one for Mr. Douglas, and the other for Mr.
Guthrie, they ar set down as half for each.
i be might ivixd or a wife. Una ot our
farmer friends, says the Schuyler County,
N. Y., Republican, in tho town of Hector, has
a wife worth having. Last year she took care
of her husband, two work-hands and three
children, milked seven cows through the sum
mer, gave birth to and took care of a fine pair
of twins, and dried and sold 2,625 pounds of
dried apples, besides attending to a large
amount of other domestic duties not here enu
merated. Schuyler against the world.
Blooxinq m the Grave. A metallic coffin,
containing; the body of a young lady who had
been buried more than four years, was lately
opened in Memphis, Tennessee. The body
was in an excellent state of preservation the
hair, particularly, was very life-like, and, what
is mote astonishing, a fall-blown camelia j
sonica, which some affectionate band had
twined in the tresses of the girl, was remark
ably fresh looking, the leaves retaining their
top, greenish hue to perfection.
PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.
PREPARED FORTH "RAFTSMAH'8 JOURHAt".
Indiana Coustt. On the 4tb inst., one of
the children of John Rogner, a German resi
ding in Indiana borough, aged about two years,
picked np a drawing-knife and unperceived by
its parents struck the babe a blow across the
ankle, severing all the sinews and chords. . .
On Friday altcrnoon three little boys named
Wm. Powell, Albert Templeton and Chas. E.
Tucker were at the house of Col. E. Paige in
Indiana borough. Mr. Paige was from home,
and during the temporary absence of Mrs. P.,
Templeton picked up a double-barreled shot
gun, when Powell cautioned him to be careful
as it might be loaded, and took the gun out of
his hands to examine it. To do this, he rais
ed the cocks, but his hands being wet, they
slipped, and both barrels were discharged, al
though the caps had been previously removed,
the contents entering the forehead of little
Tucker above the left eye, carrying away the
left side of the head as far back as the ear,
together with about one-eighth of the brain
and the left eye. Every aid that human skill
knew, was rendered the little sufferer, but
to no purpose, and about 24 hours after the
accident occurred, little Charley's immortal
spirit took its flight to another world On.
the day of this frightful casualty, Mrs. Tucker
had gone on a visit to her lathcr-in-law, at
Plumville, but while riding along and when
she had nearly reached that place, a strange
presentiment seized upon her mind that some
misfortune was about to fall upon her child ;
she turned her horse and immediately started
homeward. When a few miles from this place
she was met by the messenger who was des
patched for her, and who disclosed to her the
sad relaity of her presentiment. On Sunday
the remains of the deceased were interred in
the Presbyterian grave-yard, whither they
were followed by a largo concourse of people.
He was aged C years, 1 month and 5 days. No
censure attaches to the little boys.
Mifflin Cocntt. The barn of James Cup
pies, in Derry township, was consumed by fire
on the 4th inst. The barn contained grain,
hay, wagon, nearly all his agritultural Imple
ments, with a number of other articles, all
of which, were destroyed. A calf was also
burned. The loss is probably $1,500, only
about $500 of which. is insured. . . . Azariah
Smith was re-elected CountySuperintendent,
and tho salary fixed at $600 a year. ... A man
named Jacob Dengler, from near Reading,
Berks county, applied for lodging in the barn
of Robert Forgy in Oliver township on Tues
day evening of last week, and laid down on
some straw. During the eveniDg Mr. F. went
ont and found the man quite sick, when. lie
made the fact known to It. Bratton, Esq., one
of the County Commissioners, who promptly
called in a physician. lie was subsequently
removed to tho Poor Honse, where, although
every attention was paid, he contined to grow
worse, and died there on Thurday last. He
was on his way to Pittsburgh, and had but lit
tle money. . . . Joseph, a son ol Thompson
McManigil, of Armagh township, aged 20
years, injured himself internally a few weeks
ago at Lock Haven while engaged at jumping.
When considered out of danger, it was con
cluded to take him home. When he reached
Lewistown, he was unable to go any farther,
suffering from a severe attack of inflammation
of tho bowels, which finally caused bis death
on the 4th instant.
Cambria Cgdntt. Late on Wednesday eve
ning May 2d, Mr. Daniel T. Jones, a wealthy
citizen of Cambria township, was observed
sitting 6n a pile of stone near the Ebensburgh
and Wilmore plank-road, and about one mile
north of the Walton House. He was in a state
of helpless intoxication, and his nose was
bleeding. He has not been seen or heard of
since, although his lamily and neighbors have
made diligent search for him. Ii is supposed
that he wandered into the woods in his deliri
um, and perished from the effects of the cold
of Wednesday night. The missing man has
been a confirmed inebriate for many years. . . .
Thomas A. Maguiie.of Ebensburg,was elected
County Superintendent, and the salary fixed
at $800 per annum.
Montocr Cocntt. During a terrific thun
der storm on the 7th inst., George McGuire,
while standing on a pile of irion rails at the
Montour Works in Danville, was struck by
lightning and instantly killed. . . . Patrick
Cahill, a puddler at the Montour Works, died
suddenly, on the 8th. after taking a drink of
cold water, while in a heat, and which pro
duced cramps. . . . On emptying a hogshead
of brown sugar, a few days since, at a store
in Danville, a small living turtle popped out of
the sweets. How it got there, or how long it
lived in the sugar, is not known.
York County. Noah Kahlbaugh, charged
with killing William Weakly, was found guil
ty of murder in the second degree, at the late
term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer held
in 1 ork. ... On the 2d inst., Mr. Israel Pur
key, an employee of the Northern Central
Railway, was thrown from a hand-car as he
was returning from his work, and his head
striking a rail ho was injured so much that he
died shortly afterwards. . . . Fruit promises to
be unusually abundant this year. ... Dr. A.
R. Blair was re-elected County Superinten
dent, witn a salary or l,UUO.
Warren County. On Sabbath, April 29th,
about noon, as an old couple, Mr. John T.
Jones and his wife, of Sugar Grove township,
were returning home from meeting, on 'Still
son's Hill" in a buggy, their horse becoming
trigntened when near ratchin J bchool House.
ran on, throwing both of the old folks out.
The old man struck the ground head first,
fracturing his neck, and killing him almost
instantly. The old lady was somewhat stunn
ed but not much hurt. Mr. Jones has been
for many years a resident of Warren County.
Blair Cocntt. Jacob Weyandt, of Clays-
burg, while searching his cellar for rats, a few
days since, came across a box, imbedded in
the ground, which contained the skeleton of
an infant child. It is supposed to have been
placed there several years since, by a girl who
once resided in Hollidaysburg.
A Prediction Fulfilled. In the Illinois
contest of 1858, Mr. Douglas had much to say
about the sectionality of the Republican party.
In reply to one of these tirades, Hon. Abraham
Lincoln used the following terms :
" I ask his attention, also to the fact that by
the rule of nationality he is himself fast be
coming sectional. I ask his attention to the
fact that his speeches would not go as current
now South of the Ohio river as they have for
merly gone there. I ask his attention to the
fact that be felicitates himself to-day that all
the Democrats of the Free States are agreeing
with him. If ho has not thought of this I
commend to bis consideration the evidence of
his own declaration on this day, of his becom
ing sectional too. I see it rapidly approach
ing. Whatever may be the resnlt of this e
phemeral contest between Judge Douglas and
myself, I see the day rapidly approaching
when bis pill of sectionalism, which he has
been thrusting down the throats of Republi
cans for years past, will be crowded down his
own throat."
. It seems that the S. R. Spaulding drove
quite a business in kidnapping slaves. - It is
rumored about there that besides tbe fellow
named Blocker who was sent back on the stea
mer Deford, there was another slave who ac
tually did get through, landed safely la Bos
ton, and is now either in that city or on his
way to Canada.
THE CINCINNATI PLATFOEM.
In the debate in . the Senate, on Tuesday,
Mr. Benjamin, of Louisiana, said : .
" Suddenly a a alarming neresy sprang up m
the North ; and something was said about the
right of the Legislatures in tLe Territories, not
to destroy Slavery, not to abolish it, not to
act by any direct legislation , against the citi
zens of the South i but by a side-blow, by in
direction, by unfriendly legislation, to do that
which Constitutionality they had no power to
do by direct legislation. Now, sir, the Cin
cinnati platform would be sufficient for that
purpose if properly construed. But, sir, when
the Delegates of a great party assembled to
gether from all parts of the Confederacy, and
the proposition was made to them to adopt the
Cincinnati Platform, it was under what cir
cumstances and with what views? It was
made with tho knowledge of every man in the
Convention that two distinctly opposite inter
pretations wero to bo placed upon that Plat
form, one at the South and one at the North.
It was admitted time and again that the Cin
cinnati Platform bad two interpretations. It
was avowed, over and over again, that if the
Convention poc upon it that citizens of the
South had a right to hold their property in the
Territories, and the Legislature had no power
to affect that right, that not a singb Northern
State could bo cart led on that ground. That
was a brand on the good faith and honor of the
Democratic party. It was unworthy of the
Democracy to go into the canvass on a plat
form wearing two aspects. He would himself
enter into the contest on i.o such platform.
Let their principles be blazoned in letters of
light upon their banner, and upon them stand
or fall."
This is a very frank admission, and displays
the double dealing of the majority, in the
Charleston Convention in its true light. Tho
purpose of that majority was undoubtedly to
repeat the two-faced game of 1856; and Mr.
Benjamin and his Southern colleagues are en
titled to credit for frankness in exposing the
cheat so effectually.
The Census Takers will enter upon the dis
charge of their duties on the first of the com
ing month. They will visit every house and
family within iheir limits, and will have innu
merable questions to ask. These will in part
cover the numbers, names, ages and sexes of
every family, as well as the products of every
farm ; the number of acres under cultivation,
and the number of horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs upon it. These questions should be an
swered promptly, and as nearly as possible
correctly, and ii order to do so it would be
advisable for ever head of a family to write
down the answers in advance. Farmers es
pecially should in their leisure moments pre
pare accurate statements of the number of
acres of land they may have under cultivation,
the number of bushels of different Rinds of
grain, the quantity of hay, fruit, &c., they pro
duced last year, together with the number of
horses, cattle and stock they feed. This
would greatly facilitate tho labors of tbe Census-taker,
and also render the information
Government is seeking more valuable and re
liable. Convention or Tanners. We see it an
nounced in some of our exchanges that a gen
eral convention of the Tanners of Pennsylva
nia will be held at Harrisburg on the 16th of
the present month, in pursuance of the call of
an adjourned convention held in Juniata
connty, in February last. The object of this
convention is to associate together the Tan
ners of the State for the purpose of correct
ing several abuses under which they now la
bor. It is proposed to attempt a 'reform in
the weighing and inspection of toother, as
well as the manner of storage, and todiscoun
tenance the appointment of inexperienced
men as leather inspectors ; and to take into
consideration other matters of general concern
to the trade.
A Mcrderkr Rewarded. President Buch
anan has rewarded Calhoun Benham for his
part in the Broderick tragedy with the ap
pointment of United States District-Attorney
for California, in place of P. Delia Terry,
who was compelled to resign that such a laud
able purpose might bo achieved. Mr. Benham
was second to Judge Terry on the occasion of
his duel with Mr. Broderick. The Washing
ton correspondent of tho Tribune suggests
that if Judge Taney should die, the President
will feel bimuelf bound to appoint Judge Ter
ry, the chief butcher in the Broderick trage
dy, in his place.
