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. Lon. Jour.
