FOR PRESIDENT, J
HON. ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

FOR TICE TRESIDEXT, ;

OF MAINE.
' FOB GOVERNOR,
HON. ANDREW O. CURTIN, of Centre Co.
IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
The editor of that immaculate sheet the
Clearfield Republican is once more in "a peck
of trouble.". Ills mind is wonderfully dis
turbed about the Chicago nominations, and un
less soon calmed, must result fatally. He has
some vague and confused.notion that the ghost
of old John Brown is mixed up in the affair,
and is apprehensive that war and carnage will
shortly ensue. After stating that the Conven
tion had nominated Lincoln and Hamlin, he
proceeds to say : .
: "Our readers will thus see that there is a
gain a sectional ticket in the field for Presi
dent and Vice Paesident, nominated by the
John Brown Republicans of the Northern
States, who have declared unrelenting hostili
ty, with war to the knife, on the inhabitants
and institutions of the Southern States."
It will doubtless surprise most people to
learn that the Republicans are such a blood
thirsty set of fellows as our neighbor here
'makes them out to be. We .always thought
they were a peaceable, law-abiding party, and
heretofore had no idea that they intended cut
ting the throats of their southern brethren
with butcher knives, or playing the "ancient
Henry" with their institutions. If the editor
of the Republican thinks any intelligent man
will believe such silly twattle as is contained
in the paragraph quoted above, he must rely
more upon his credulity than we should like to.
Our neighbor thinks "the nomination has
fallen like a wet blanket upon the 'irrepressi
bles' here and many other places," and con
soles himself with the idea that the Bates and
JfcLean men have "grave faces." So far as
we can learn the nominations are not only gen
erally satisfactory but are enthusially received
by the 'Irrepressibles' here and many other
places ;" and if any one wishes to see a "grave
face," all that is necessary is to hunt a Demo,
cratic editor and ask him who was nominated
at Charleston. A "wet blanket" couldn't pos
sibly dampen his ardor more effectually.
Tjie Philistines after Him. It being quite
apparent that the nomination of "honest Abo
Lincoln" is very popular and creates a great
deal of enthusiasm among the masses of the
people, the Democratic editors have already
-commenced to defame his good name and to
misrepresent his public acts. In this cry tho
villainous old reprobate of the X. Y. Herald
leads off, and is followed by the whole horde
of small-fry editors scattered over the coun
tiy. After having abused Mr. Seward in the
most brutal and indecent manner for his ut
terance of the "irrepressible conflict" doc
trine, they now change front, and after ac
knowledging that he is tho greatest states
man living, assert that not he, but that Lin
coln is the author of that doctrine, the latter
having enunciated similar views at least six
months before Mr. Seward made his famous
Rochester speech. No one will be at a loss
to know what construction to put upon this ef
fort of tho Democratic press to shift the "irre
pressible conflict" from Gov. Seward's to Mr.
Lincoln's shoulders.
Col. Cuutin's Prospects. The election of
Col. A. G. Curtin is conceded to bo a fixed
fact. From all portions of our'good old Com
monwealth, the most cheering news is brought
us, that tho people are united and deter
mined to 'elect " Col.' Curtin, tho People's
candidate for Governor, by an immense ma
jority. Tho Buchanan men are chop-fallen
and disconcerted, and feel that their glory is
about to depart, without organization or ener
gy in their ranks. Let this not defer any
friends of our noble and talented candidate
from using the most timely exertions on be
half of the election ; but let it encourage us
to "push on the column" and make tho victory
more decisive and brilliant. It looks now, as
though his majority would reach thirty or for
ty thousand. '
Found the Nigger. Tho democratic pa
pers have been very loud and very solemn in
-their notes ot blame on the Black Republican
party for their agitation of tho slavery ques
tion. According to their assertion, wo find a
nigger everywhere. Pray, who "found tho
nigger" at Charleston 1 There was not a
Black Republican in the whole city. There
was no one there but Northern and South
ern Democrats, and yet there was found
tho rankest kind of nigger in the woodpile.
The "irrepressible conflict" between freedom
and slavery was never carried 6o far before, as
in this brotherhood ' of Democrats 1 Who
makes all this "agitation ?"
Jt seems there is to be no lack of Presiden
tial candidates before the peoplo this Fall.
A meeting was held in New York the other
night by members of the Constitutional Union
Party, who are not satisfied with the nomina
tion of Mr. Bell, and preliminary arrangements
were made for bringing Sam Houston into the
field. A Mass Convention was called for this
erenlng, to ratify his. nomination,
WHAT OTJB OPPONENTS SAY.
. The New York Sun, a democratic newspaper
in a long leader on the Chicago nominations,
thus refers to the Republican candidate for the
Presidency i r ; '
"The first impression produced among our
city politicians, that the rejection of Mr. Sew
ard and the nomination of Mr. Lincoln, by the
Chicago Convention was a blunder, has been
removed by. subsequent reflection. It is now
admittted that Mr. Lincoln's nomination is a
strong one, and that he will receive the united
and cordial support of the party. He is, em
phatically, a man of the people, and owes his
present proud position to his own efforts and
energy.
"Born of poor but honest parents, he was
early thrown upon his own resources, and was
obliged at one time to work as a common farm
laborer 1 o earn a livelihood. It is said that he
received but about six months of a regular,
school education ; but if he had not the assis
tance of schoolmasters, ho" had a strong and
clear mind, which he industriously improved.
His life is an example of what the poorest boy
may attain to in this free country, by habits of
industry and self-culture. Mr. Lincoln is pe
culiarly a self-made, self-educated man, and
is, in all respects, a sterling representative of
the "go-ahead" American character. That he
would, if elected, make a good President, we
do not entertain a doubt.
"His chances of an election are certainly
good, unless the Democrats show more wisdom
at Baltimore than they did at Charleston.
The peoplo are tired of being rnled by profes
sional politicians, and they would rather vote
for a man like Mr. Lincoln, who holds, in a
measure, an independent position, than for an
old party leader, who has friends to reward
and enemies to punish."
The Administration Corruptions. A dis
patch to the N. Y. Tribune, dated Washington,
May 22d, says : "Mr. Wendell again appear
ed before the Covode Committee, and testified
that while the President or Cabinet did not spe
cifically direct him to apply money to carry
the Lecompton bill through the House, his
intercourse with them at that time fully justi
fied the inference that he was to be benefited
by the expenditure. Otherwise he would not
have appropriated $30,000 or S40.000 of his
own money. The expectation was that he
would receive remunerative patronage, which
was subsequently realized in part. All his
testimony on this and other delicate points
has been constrained, and evidently embarrass
ed by the knowledge that every disclosure af
fecting those in authority would involve
himself. In comparing his check-book with
the accounts of the Bank of the Metropolis,
several weeks ago, an item of $250 was found
charged to "Foster of Pennsylvania" among
tho moneys appropriated for electioneering
purposes in that State, and dated tho 22d of
September, three weeks before the Congres
sional election. He was then asked whether
the Foster thus named was the present Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania,
and who ran against Mr. Covode for Congress
in 1858. No satisfactory answer could be ob
tained at the time, but when the interrogatory
was repeated t6-day, he admitted knowing no
other Foster for whose benefit the money could
have been applied, and said that large sums
had been intrusted to Mr. Witte, an ex-Member
from Pennsylvania, lor distribution during
that canvass.
The House of Representatives at Washing
ton has refused to appropriate a cerfain sum
of money to maintain an auxilliary police force
in that city. When a nnruber of Republicans
called at the residence of Senator Hamlin, on
Saturday evening the 19th, for the purpose of
congratulating him on his nomination for the
Vice Presidency, they were attacked by an
organized mob. Stones and other missiles
were thrown into the procession, and those
who composed it were assailed with insulting
and indecent language. The authorities of
the city made no elfOrt to suppress the distur
bance, no doubt secretly approving of it. But
they were soon struck with a very serious af
terthought they had an appropriation bill
pending in Congress, and the House was con
trolled by a majority of Republicans. There
suit was that every paper in the city from
the staid National Intelligencer to the little
twinkling Star came out with articles con
demning the "outrage." Tho City Council
called a special meeting and passed strong res
olutions denouncing the conduct of the law
less individuals who dared to attack peaceable
citizens in tho enjoyment of their constitu
tional rights. But repentance came too late
their appropriation bill came up on Tuesday,-
and it was very properly defeated by the Re
publican majority. In the debate on the sub
ject it was shown that, although it i3 customa
ry to detail police for attendance at public
meetings of the other political parties in Wash
ington, not one was present on this occasion.
The police, we presume, considered that Re
publicans have no rights which they were
bound to respect, and the consequence is that
their pay will be somewhat diminished for the
current year.
The Conservatives urox Lincoln. The
National 7acZgCMccr,which is one of the most
conservative journals in tho country, as well
as one of the most impartial, says that when
Mr. Lincoln was in Congress ho was "distin
tinguished alike for the ability and amenity
which ho brought to the discharge of his pub
lic duties ; that the "selection was a tribute
no less to the political position held by Mr.
Lincoln among his confederates than to the
popular talents he is admitted by all to possess,
and, in consequence of the deep and wide pub
lic interest that was felt in the issue of the
contest between him and Mr. Douglas, his
name acquired a new celebrity beyond the
bounds of his State, while the manner in which
he bore himself throughout that arduous strug
gle has doubtless largely contributed to pro
cure for him the distinction he has just re
ceived at the hands of his party, assembled in
general convention;" and that Mr. Licoln is
"justly entitled to his private worth and prov
ed ability to wear with dignity any honor"
his friends may be able to confer upon him.
Of Mr. Hamlin the Intelligencer says : "Of
the worthy gentleman placed in nomination
for the Vice Presidency it must be unnecessa
ry for us to speak, as his long career in the
Senate of the United States has familiarized
his name to all our readers, who, with us, will
bear willing testimony to the fidelity and in
dustry with which he has fulfilled the high
public trusts confided to tim by the people of
the State which he has so long, in part, been
called to represent."
Forty hard-fisted laborers of the first ward
in the City of New-York, left the Democratic
ranks, a Might or two ago, and came out for
the "Rail-Mauler" and "Carpenter" ticket.
We notice many more such expressions of
sympathy in other quarters, amongst the work
ing people. It is one that breaks through all
political parties, and must be felt in tho grand
result.
The Delaware Slate Journal and tho Dela
ware Republican, both Filmore papers in the
last Presidential campaign, fly the Republican
flag or Lincoln and Hamlin. Delaware may
safely be classed among the Republican States.
She will go staong for the Chicago nominees.
The State was fully represented in the National
Convention, the delegates being from among
her best citizens.'
PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.
PREPARED FOR THE "RAFT3MAN'S journal."
' Centre Cocntt. During the heavy storm
on the 21st inst., the house of John II. Mus
ser,in Harris township, was struck by lightning
and badly shattered. The chimney was torn
to pieces, stoves, tables, and chairs scattered
in every direction, and dishes and other arti
cles demolished. There were eight persons
in the house at the time, all of whom escaped
uninjured except a little girMvho had her hair
nearly burnt otf, and Mr. Musser who was se
verely stunned. The glass was all broken,and
the house was fired at several places, but the
flames were fortunately extinguished. The
leaden water-pipes were melted for a consider
able distance from the house. The damage
is heavy. . . Wm. Grassier, a silver smith who
resides in Boalsburg, on the 19th inst., fell a
sleep on a chair in the Rivierre House in Lew
isburg, and was robbed of about S30. It is
not known who committed the robbery. :
Armstrong County. The residence of Mri
J.J. Hollobaugh, of Brady's Bend township,
as destroyed by fire a few days ago, together
with nearly every thing that was in it. The
fire was occasioned by a detect in the stove
pipe flue, and broke out about the middle of
the day. There were no men about at the
time, and the women, becoming terrified, tail
ed to save anything, except a small quantity
of bed clothing. In the loss is embraced a
quantity of grain, a considerable amount of
money, and a gold watch worth one hundred
dollars, which had been left with Mi. H., by a
gentleman, as security for borrowed money.
It is a singular fact that troubles never come
singly. The famly of Mr. II., .had been, du
ring this spring, nearly all prostrated with
scarlet fever, and several of the children had
not entirely recovered, when his house was
destroyed by fire.
Jefferson County. On Sunday morning,
the 20th inst., the store house of Philip Shan
non, in Ringgold, was destroyed by fire, to
gether with a large portion of the goods. The
loss is estimated at from 52,000 to $2,500.
Mr. Shannon had just received his summer
stock of goods, many of which had not been
opened The fire was discovered about three
o'clock in the morning, and the whole roof
being on fire it was impossible to stop the
flames. In endeavoring to get out some pow
der which was on the second story, Mr. Shan
non burned his feet badly, but finally succeed
ed in securing what he was after. The goods
on the lower floor were saved, but those on the
second floor, together with the groceries and
heavy articles were destroyed. There was no
insurance, and the loss will fall heavily on Mr.
Shannon. .
Blair County. On Saturday the 11th, a
little girl, aged about five years, daughter of
Mrs. Wire, was so much injured br a fall from
the balcony of the Washington House, in
Altoona that her life is despaired of. It ap
pears that she was playing on the balcony, at
tached to tho second story of the rear build
ing, around which there are no banisters, and
getting too near the edge, tumbled over and
fell into cellar of the building, the door lead
ing to which had been left open. In falling,
her head struck some hard substance and broke
a hole in her forehead about the size ot a pen
ny. No hopes are entertained of her re
covery, j
A letter from Paris tells a strange story of a ,
recent discovery in science, culminating in a
melancholy denouement. A governess in pri
vate families had under her charge a little Rus
sian boy, who had been born deaf and dumb.
The gentle disposition of the boy greatly en
deared him to the governess, who devoted
much of her time in developing his intelli
gence, and enabling him to keep pace with her
other pupils. After many sleepless nights,
and many experiments, the lady finally resolv
ed that sulphuric ether was the talisman to be
employed in opening the world to her poor
little prisoner. Its application proved perfect
ly successful ; numerous other experiments in
dicated that the grand secret had been discov
ered ; the Monthyon Prize was awarded to the
lady; and she rapidly rose from poverty and
dependence to wealth and fame as a benefac
tor of her race. But alas ! the sudden transi
tion was too much for a mind so long overbur
dened by study and devotion to a single ob
ject ; the reason of the poor lady gave way,
and she has since been conveyed, a hopeless
maniac, to a maison de sante, at Montmartre.
The Baltimore Patriot has been informed by
one of the delegates to tho late Chicago Con
vention that the Committee who were appoint
ed to convey to Mr. Lincoln the official notice
of his nomination as their candidate for Pres
ident, repaired to Springfield, Illinois, in the
fulfilment of this duty. He stated that Mr. L.
resides in a comfortable mansion in the su
burbs of the city, and as the Committee pro
ceeded to his residence, they altracttd much
attention. His neighbors, knowing that Mr.
Lincoln was a strictly temperance man, at
once dispatched their servants with waiters
covered with bottles of wine, brandy, whisky,
Ac, to enablo him to offer what they conceiv
ed was proper to these distinguished guests.
Mr. Lincoln met the servants who had the
eharge of these refreshments, and requested
them to say to his friends and neighbors that
ho duly appreciated their kindness, but he
could not consent to violate a long establish
ed rule of conduct, and that he should treat
his guests with plentiful draughts of delicious
and pure ice water.
Terrible Tragedy. A daughter of Rev.
A. S. Freeman, pastor of tho Presbyterian
church at tlaverstraw, N. Y., was killed on
Monday by Mrs. KirkpatricK, a neighbor, du
ring a fit of insanity. The woman was very
fond of tho little girl, and had been beard to
say. "She is too good for earth she must not,
shall not live ;" and then, turning her face to
the wall, she muttered to herself, "Must I do
it how can I do it ?" But those who heard
these remarks understood not their meaning
at the time. On the day mentioned the little
girl was at Mr. K.'s house, playing with his
little girl, and the woman, having sent away
her own daughter on an errand, took a carving
knife, and cut the child's neck completely a
round, thus almost severing the head from the
body. When her daughter returned, the
wretched woman said to her, "I have done it."
"Done what?" asked her daughter. "Why,
killed Carrie," was her reply. She has been
sent to an asylum.
Senator Cameron and Mr. Lincoln. A
grand demonstration took place at Harrisburg,
on Friday night, in response to the nomina
tions made at Chicago. Hon. Simon Cameron
presided, and made an excellent speech on
taking the chair, endorsing the nominations
of Lincoln and Hamlin, in a most cordial and
emphatic manner. Speeches were also made
by Hon. Jos. Casey and A. J. Herr, Esq., both
of whom were active supporters of Fillmore
in 1856. The State Capitol Band discoursed
music during the evening, and 100 guns were
fired from the Capitol grounds. The meeting
was large and enthusiastic, and old Dauphin
will roll up her old Whig majority of 1200 for
Lincoln, without fail.
The Presbyterian Board of Domestic Mis
sions will report this year an increase of more
than $20,000, and tho Board of Foreign Mis
sions a still further increase of upwards of
530,000 over the income of the previous year,
year. This exhibition is regarded as a satis
factory proof of the vitality of the Church,
and inspires its members with fresh zeal.
LETTER FROM IOWA. - ,
y Newton, Jasper Co., May 12th, 1860.
Ma. S. B. Row: Dear Sir On the 25th
April. I left my old home near New Washing
ton, with my family, in the midst of a snow
storm, which continued all day. .In Indiana,
our friends, Samuel Sebring and John Itora
baugb leftns; on Thursday evening we took
the cars there, and on Saturday about 10 o'
clock wo reached Wilton Station, where wo
remained with our friend Garret McQuillin ,
until Monday morning, when we started for
this place, 130 miles distant. To Iowa City,
30 miles of the way, we traveled in the cars,
the rest of the distance in a coach.and though
the coach was piled full, we landed safe and
sound, and in good spirits. It was a novelty
for my family to look over the vast prairies and
see the chickens running wild in droves. We
have a bouse to move in, and 22 acres of
ground to put in corn this summer. Times
are just middling. Horses -are worth from
$100 to $150; cows from S15 to $30; hogs
demand high prices, from 3 to 3 living weight;
corn is cheap, only 15 cts. a bushel ; flour $2
per hundred ; bacon 10 cts. a pound ; potatoes
20 cents a bushel ; eggs 5 cents ; butter 10
cents, and other articles in proportion. It
cost mo to bring my family, consisting of my
wife, six children and myself making 5 tick
ets on the cars, all under 12 years going for
half price and under 5 free one hundred and
forty dollars. What my freight bill will be,
I can't say, as the boxes have not yet arrived.
It has been rather dry in Iowa this spring, but
since I came here, we have had some fine
showers, things look well, and tho health of
the peoplo is good. . Now is a good tiru to
start in this country as provisions are cheap.
I think if some of our neighbors would seo this
beautiful west, they would lorsake stumps and
stones and roots, and come where they could
farm easy. I plowed one half day without
getting fast once. That looked like farming.
My family are well satisfied with, Iowa.
. Yours truly, Jsrael Rorabaugu.
A Western Tornado. The southern por
tion of Ohio was on Monday a week the scene
of one of those terrific summer tornadoes so
peculiar to the West, and w hich, in sudden
ness and violence, cannot, perhaps, be excee
ded in any portion ot the world. Cincinnati
appears to have been the victim of its greatest
fury. Rising in a gathering cloud in the north
west, ot that singular and threatening density
which always presages a Western tornado, the
storm swept over the city, unroofing nearly
every public building, carrying away steeples,
and damaging more or less every house in the
city. On the roads whole forests .f trees
were torn up ; steamers were capsized on the
river, ard even the locomotive and passenger
cars on one railroad, at the Kentucky side,
were blown clear ofT the track. The damage
done to buildings amounts, to half a million of
dollars. The tornado seems to have extended
seven milles to the northwest of the city,
and its effects extend as tar cast as the town
of Chillieothe, sweeping away trees by the
thousand, strewing them over the railroad, and
demolishing houses, railroad depots, and fac
tories in its course.
