ABRAHAM LnfCOIiN, , . OF ILM50IS. . , FOR VICE PRESIDENT, - HON. HANNIBAL HAMLIN. OF MAINE. F0BC0VEBX0R, HON. ANDREW Q. CURTIN, of Centre Co. A BASE FORGERY. The Democratic papers are copying tbe 'schedule of general facts concerning Mr. Lin coln, prepared by a New York paper, a para graph forged to convey an impression that Mr. Lincoln was disposed to urge an open war up on the southern States. The words quoted, and asserted to have been spoken by him in Illinois are : "I nevertheless did mean to go on the banks of tbe Ohio, and throw stones into Kentucky to disturb tbem in their do mestic institutions." Most persons would at once recognize the absurdity of the assertion that any public man had declared such a pur pose; but as there are malignants to whom any perversion is welcome, and who would be repeating it only the oftener it known to be false but found to be useful, we give here the exact form of the paragraph quoted from. In "repelling certain charges of sectionalism made by Mr. Douglass, Mr. Lincoln said : '. "I have again and again said that I would not enter into any State to disturb tbe institution of slavery. " Judge Douglas said at Bloomington that I used language most able and ingenious 'for concealing what I really meant, and that, while I protested against entering into the slave States, I nevertheless did mean to go on the banks of the Ohio and throw missiles into Kentucky, to disturb them in their domestic institutions." Thus, in quoting a false charge by Mr. Douglas, to repel it in the most direct manner possible, a paragraph ias constructed put oi which this shameful forgery has been manufactured.; It is disgraceful to tho age that such acts as this are possible in any form which permits identification of their authors. The New York Herald prepared and published the paragraph, which has been extensively copied by the locofoco papers. - POSITION OF ME. SEWARD. It is astonishing what a deep and friendly interest the "Democratic" papers are mani festing for Hon. Wm. II. Seward, since the Chicago Convention. They say he was badly treated by his friends, and pour out whole bucketfuls of "crocodile tears" over his "de feat." - Before the Convention he was a terri ble fellow in their 6ight be was tbe author of the "irrepressible conflict," a traitor, and tbe most dangerous man in tbe land. Now their tune is changed. They even pronounce bim the greatest statesman living. In all this there was an object. They had hoped Mr. Seward would feel sore over his failure at Chicago, and that by tbeir mock sympathy they could make Irirn at least luke-warm toward the nominees, if not induco him to take no part in the cam- paign at all. But in this they have been dis appointed. In a .letter dated Auburn, May 21st, Mr. Seward says he has "no sentiment ei ther of disappointment or discontent," and then remarks : . -' "I find in the resolutions of the Convention platform so satisfactory to me as if it had been framed with my own bands, and in the candidates adopted by them eminent and able Republicans, with whom I have cordially co operated in maintaining the principles embod ied in that excellent creed. I cheerfully give them a sincere and earnest support. I trust, moreover, that those with whom I have labor d so long that common service in a noble canse has created between them and myself relations of personal friendship, unsurpassed In the experience of political men, will indulge me in a confident belief that no sense of disap pointment will be allowed by them to hinder, or delay, or in any way-embarrass, the pro gress of that cause to the consummation which is demanded by a patriotic regard to the safe ty and welfare of the country and the best in terests of mankind." TueHohesteadBill. The Seuate, on Tues day of last week, by the almost unanimous Vote o,f the Democratic members of that body, defeated the House Homestead bill. Every Republican Senator voted aye and every Dem ocratic Senator no, excepting- Mr. Rico of Minnesota! The friends of the Homestead bill will thus be enabled to see bow parties stand on this question. The Republicans of tbe House pass a bill eminently just and pro per, giving tho public lands, in limited quan tities to actual settlers, which the Democrats of the Senate defeat. Had the House bill pas sed it would have secured free homes to all v,;ho desired them upon the public lands, and put an end to the land speculations which Jiave been a curse to the West. Let it not be forgotten that the country owes it to Demo cratic Senators -that it is deprived of this be neficent law. - , , We see an article from the London Chroni cle, going the -rounds of the Democratic pa pers, headed, What-the English think of the Covode Investigating Committee," in which the Committee is denounced and Mr. Buchan an applauded. We always knew there was a strong affinity between Democratic and Brit 3sh editors, and hence are not surprised that they parade the Chronicle' article with so zanch gusto. ' - v Head tbe new advertisement. DxsraccTivE Stoem. TTe learn by the Clar ion andBrookville papers, that on Wednesday last, 80th May, a very destructive tornado pas sed through those and adjoining - counties. The course of the storm was from south-west to north-east, along the valley of the Red Bank. Those who witnessed it represent the shape as that of an inverted cone, in color like smoke; whilst others describe it as a whirl wind or fire and smoke. Trees, houses, barns, bridges, fences, horses, cattle, and, in fact, everything in its course was entirely destroy ed. Many barns and trees took fire and were consumed, whilst others were torn to pieces, and tbe fragments scattered in such a manner that it is impossible to tell where they are. . The village of Maysville, in Jefferson coun ty, was entirely demolished, not one building remains standing twenty-five buildings, in cluding the grist and saw-mills of John Hess, dwelling and store of Col. M'Farland, and Mr. llawe'a Hotel, composed the village. Tbe bridge across Red Bank at that place was blown down. Four persons were killed, and some 25 or 30 injured; some of whom are repor ted as having died since. - At Maysville it crossed the Red Bank, and continued to destroy all that came in its way. How far it extended northward, we have not learned. The destruction of property is im mense. No estimate can be made of the loss sustained. The mere loss of property, bow ever, is small compared with the destruction of human life, and the amount of Jmisery en tailed on the families thus afflicted. Never, in the history of that region, has such a dread ful calamity visited it. Many hearts are left desolate and mourn for those so suddenly snatched away in the midst of health and use fulness. Shingles, window-sasb, with remains of the glass, pieces of weather-boarding and clap boards, were carried from there to Kersey, m Elk county, a distance ot forty miles. Pieces of oak shingles, corn blades, &c, were also found at Luthersburg, in this county, which evidently came from the same neighborhood. The Baltimore Patriot is too respectable to adopt the system of wholesale slander and a buse which is so common among journals which oppose the Republican candidates. While laboring zealously for the Union party, it frankly pays a tiibute to tbe chosen leaders of tbe Republicans. In an article upon the lives and characters of Lincoln and Hamlin, it uses the following language: "They who know Mr. Lincoln intimately, say that be is a moderate and conservative man, that though opposed to the extension of Slavery into free Territory, just as Mr. Clay and Mr. Bell were, and the latter gentleman still is, yet he is a State Rights man of the strictest sect. He is also the sworn enemy of Executive and legislative corruption, and has a character for personal integrity unimpeacha ble. His popular sobriquet is, "Honest Old Abe." There can be little doubt, but that this man of the working people, the artificer of his own fortunes from poverty to compe tence, from the lowest to tho highest position, will meet with the cordial sympathies of tbe laboring masses everywhere, whether they sup port him politically or not. "Mr. Hamlin was always a Democrat, until the repeal of the Missouri Compromise bill came up, when he denounced it as an offence against plighted faith, and, in open Senate, dissolved bis connection with the Democratic party, and went over to the Republicans. As a legislator, his record shows him to be the author of more laws than that of any of his compeers for the same length of time. He was and is tho special friend of commerce. No roan of any party questions his high integ rity ot character, and his sound and solid judg ment has always made him a safe lawgiver. Had 51 r. Fremont been elected in 1856, it was understood that Mr. Hamlin would have been his Secretary of tbe Treasurj'. On the sla very question, he was always what the Demo crats used to consider sound, before the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Of the rights of the States he is the unqualified defender." - Tiie Indications at Washington. The Washington correspondent of the New York Courier and Enquirer writes in the following encouraging strain : "The most cheering ad vices are pouring in upon members of Con gress from their various districts,(rclative to the prospects of success for tbe Chicago tick et. Wigwams are in the course of erection all over the country ,and in those sections where rails are easily procured the fronts are laid up with handsomely split rails. The prevailiug opinion is that a repetition of the political scenes of 1840 is about to take place. The Democrats already aver that it is to bo anoth er hard cider campaign. Even Douglas him self begins to waver and intimate that he be lieves that the chances of the Democracy are so slight that he has no desire for the nomina tion at Baltimore.' lie says that "Abe Lincoln Is an honest man, and his personal friend," and adds that if they are both candidates, no matter which ia successful, tbe other, will be on the best of social terms at the White House, or else things must change very much in tbe future from what they have been in the past. As for the Southern Democrats, they give up the contest, and declare that Lincoln must be our next President, unless they can manage to throw the election into the House or Senate, of which they have but little hope. Some of Mr. Douglas' most sanguine friends have ac knowledged that they see no chance for Doug las after the lato speech of , Benjamin. He certainly made out a very strong caso against the Senator from Illinois ot playing fast and loose." "Breeding: Carcass." We are to hear no more of fBleeding Kansas," but a "bleeding carcass" is to take its place. Mr. Pitch, in his pitiful appeal in behalf of Douglas, made in the senate on the 22d, tells us, in terms pa thetic enough to move a fire-eater's heart, that Mr. Douglas' enemies -"may kill him at Baltimore if they choose ; but bis friends will carry his Bleeding Carcass to the Northwest and show bim to the young men coming to cast their first votes, and tell them, 'this is the author of the Nebraska Bill,and this is South em gratitude !' " Tbe only response made to this appeal was that made by the poverty-hating WiarALt, who complacently informed Mr. Peon : that Douglas was already dead. So bring on your ".Bleeding Carcass." Barxum Sold. It was recently announced that Barnum offered $25 per pound for live brook trout in eood condition, weichinir over two pounds each. An enterprising Yankee of oprmgneia, namea uaity, sold three trout to Barcum which weiehed in the acrtrreiratA si lbs., for which he received the snns sum of uo.:io. uarnnm wanted them Tor his aquari um. It is now maliciously reported that the creat showman was humbucorcd. and that h fish, "sold" were nothing but Connecticut river suciten pamtea,. ana their mouths altered. Unfortunate Baxauui PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS FBEPARED FOR THE "BAFTSMAN'S JOCRXAL." Blair Cocxtt. Mr. Johnston Mooro, of Scotch Valley, had one of his legs broken on the 24th ult., by tbe kick of a colt, whilst he was salting his stock in a pasture field. . . . Slaj. H. Wayne, of Altoona, got his arm bro ken between tbe bumping beams of a couple ot cars on the 18th inst. ... A boy fell from a tree in the school grounds at Altoona, on tbe 21st inst. and was carried home in an insensi ble state. . . . Wm. Albright, got three of his fingers crushed by being caught in tbe belt in tbe Altoona planing machine a few days ago. . . A young man named John O'Neil, bar-keeper at the American House, Hollidaysburg, traded a watch and $2.50 in money, on the 26th ult., to a miner at the Frankstown Ore Bank for an order of $30.00 on Watson, Denniston & Co.'s store. The order turned out to be a forgery, and the man was arrested but released on bail. ... The step-parent of a child residing in Gaysport so maltreated it, one day week before last, as tojnearly cause its death. It raised a great excitement in that neighborhood, and the people talked about lynching the inhuman parent. . . . A poor "fallen woman," attempt ed to commit suicide at Tyrone on the 25th ult., by throwing herself into the river; but was discovered and taken out before life was extinct. ' ' - . ' Lycoming Cocntt. Two chaps in Williara sport are held in $300 bail to answer at tbe Lycoming Court for a "cauthumpian" sere nade. ... A hail-storm in Jersey Shore last week, the product of which, the Vedette says, were "as large as potatoes" potatoes, we suppose, abont the dimensions of a "piece of chalk." . . . Clinton Lloyd, a lawyer of Wil- Iiamsport.has commenced proceedings against Jones, of the Jersey Shore Vedette, for libel, and claims $o,000 damages. The recovery of such an amount from a country editor would be likely to shut up his shop. . . . On removing the floor of the old Court House at William sport, a white oak stump, two and a half feet in diameter, and m a tolerably good state ot preservation, was brought to light. The tree was cut from it about 1801. ... A fine two year old colt, belonging to Charles Heilman, of Clinton township, which had taken sneiter under a tree during the storm on Saturday a- week, was killed by lightning. ... A son ot Capt. Thomas Eppley, of Montoursville, aged ten years, fell from his father's canal boat, while lying at Harrisburg, and was drowned. The boy was engaged in fishing with, a drop line when he fell ovtrboird. Centre Cocntt. A serious affray took place in Bellefonte between two butchers, on Friday, May 2dth. It appears that a man named Corman, for some reason, attacked another named Loeb,who had in his hand a large butch er knile, which be used in defence, striking his antagonist near the region of lhe heart, inflicting a ghastly wound which came near causiuff death. The wounded man is recover ing slowly. ... On Tuesday the 29th May, a Corn Doctor calling himself J. Barrett,was ar rested by Sheriff McCoy at Millroy. He- had been on a professional visit at the bouse of Miss Catharine Gherrett of Bellefonte, and sometime after , his departure she missed a pocket book which bad been placed on the mantel a short time before. ' In the pocket book were about $18 all the money she had. , Indiana Cocntt. The barn of William Kier, near Clarksburg, was struck by lightning on tbe 23d May, and damaged to a considerable extent. ... A little girl, aged 4 years, daugh ter of Abraham Tiger, of Canoe township, was killed on the 17th ult. She and some other children of tbe family were playing near where ber father and brothers were, chopping a clear ing. A tree, almost cut down, was thrown, by a gust of wind, in a different direction from that intended, and striking the child, crushed its bead between a limb and a stone, breaking an arm and otberwiso injuring it. Death en sued the next day. . . . A man named Samuel McCullougb was lodged in the Indiana jail, charged with stealing a large hog from Mr. Joseph Boggs, of White township, and selling it to Mr. Robert Mitcbel. Armstrong Cocntt. At Brady's Bend, on Tuesday, May 22d, an unfortunate occurrence took place between two brothers named Michael and Sebastian Sybert, and a man named Levi Fetter, which resulted in the for mer of the two brothers being severely cut in the face, back and 'groin, with a pocket-knife in the hands of Fetter. His injuries are quite severe, but not dangerous. Fetter has been arrested and lodged in jail, bail having been refused, as at the time of his commitment, the extent of the man's injuries were not known. There are several conflicting reports in regard to tho difficulty ; Fetter alleging that he acted wholly in self-defence against the attack of tho two brothers, while they assert to the con trary. Elk Cocntt. On Monday the 21st May, an interesting boy of 6 or 7 years of age, son of P. T. Brooks, of Ridgway, was instantly kill ed by tbe falling of a board pile in that place. It seems he bad been playing around tho boards whilst a man was loading from a pile near, and after the man left the whole pile fell upon the lad, crushing bim in a horrible manner. Huntingdon Cocntt. The Huntingdon pa pers record the death of two citizens of War riorsmark township, named Daniel Moore and John Duffey. They were engaged in working in an ore bank, when tho earth caved in upon tbem, entombiug . them, and when taken out life was extinct. , Mifflin Cocntt. A barn in Derry township, owned by James Cupples.was entirely destroy ed by fire on Friday a-week, together with a quantity of hay, straw, horse gears, ac. The fire is supposed to have originated from chil dren plaj ing with fire close to the barn. Presents for Japanese. Among the mag nificent presents to the Japanese, from the Government as well as from individuals, the President has directed that there should be struck offa splendid medal(at the United States Mint, in honor of the visit of the Orientals to this Republic. The order and the design have been promptly executed under the superinten dence of Colonel J. R. Snowden, director of tbe Mint. The medal, which is about twice the size of the old American silver dollar, bears a beautiful likeness of Mr. Buchanan, and on tho reverse an appropriate inscription. Three of these medals have been struck in gold, thirty in silver, and one hundred in copper. The Slate Trade Opened in a new Wat. The Washington correspondent of the Phila delphia Press states that the Government has received information that tbe fishermen of the coast of Florida and South Carolina are in tbe habit of runuing over to Cuba, on the pretence of disposing of their fish, and returning with two or three native Africans, bought there at a low figure, which they dispose of at a great advance, to parties who meet them on the coast, purchase the negroes and take them in to the interior. This gross and notorious vi olation of law has been going on . for some time, and it remains to be seen whether any steps will be takea to arreat it. - Good. The Salem - Standard states that all tbe newspapers in that State that supported Fillmore aud Donaldson in 1856, without ex ception now support - Lincoln and Hamlin. New Jersey may be counted with certainty for thsnominc.es of the Chicago Convention. Fight with Snakes. Mr. I Jas. Lankford, of Fearing township, says the Marietta Home Netcs, had a severe fight with three enormous spotted black snakes, on Mon day morning last. He had been fepairing a barrow by the side of a large tree, in one of his fields, when a strange sensation passed over bim, which paralyzed him to such an ex tent as to render him almost powerless. He felt conscious that danger was approaching, yet seemed unable to. save himself.. He heard a rustling noise on the tree beside bim. and was partly aroused from his stupor by a snake six feet and four inches long and seven inches in circumference, striking him on the back, passing over his shoulders, around his body and under bis arms.; A second snake imme diately coiled itself around its body. Seeing a third approaching and aroused to despera tion, he seized an ax which he fortunately had with him, and by a lucky blow, severed it in two six inches back of its head. This one was five feet and eight inches long. Mr. Lank ford then turned his efforts to ridding himself of his other two foes, then beginning to tight en themselves unpleasantly around his breast. A severe contest ensued, lasting fifteen or twenty minutes, during which Mr. L. was thrown down several times. The reptiles kept up a constant hissing uoise, and emitted a fe tid, sickening odor. At length the largest snake, in endeavoring to strike Mr. L. in the mouth, at which it made repeated efforts, was seized by the back of the neck, between Mr. Langford's teeth, and literally crushed. The snake instantly uncoiled, and threw itself from him to the ground, hors du combat. The third one did the same, and made his escape, Mr. L. being too much exhausted to make any at tempt to pursue it. It was a narrow escape for Mr. L., who is a farmer, and whose veraci ty is unquestioned. We bad the narration from his own lips. A Railroad Feat Mr. Haugblin, foreman of the machine shops of the Michigan Central Railroad, accomplished a feat at Michigan City with the train carrying delegates to the Chica go Convention, which is well deserving of mention. At Michigan City it is necessary to change engines, and in order not to lose time the train was run up the track at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, the engine then being uncoupled and rnn at a faster speed on to a siding. The switch was replaced in time, and tbe cars dashed along up tbe main line to the engine waiting to take it to Chicago. Moviug at nearly the same speed as the cars, it was coupled to the train, and plunged along with its load. Uncoupling and switching a loco motive, and coupling on another at fifteen miles an hour, is certainly a very remarkable engineering accomplishment. Lincoln and Hamlin together measure just twelve feet five inches. Lincoln is six feet four inches long and Hamlin is six feet one inch long, but neither of these gentlemen have any other measurement. Indiana Sentinel. - The Sentinel tells us that Lincoln and Ham lin have no other measurement than their length. It is evidently very proud of the shape of its favorite candidate, tho Little Giant, who has a greater measurement than his length, being about five feet long and eight feet, six inches, and two barley corns round to say nothing of the measurement of corn and bar ley inside.
