THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.
TVe hope the voters of the 24th Congression
al District will ponder well the subject of elect
ting a man to represent them in the legislative
branch of the federal government. It happens
too often that individuals are sent to Congress
who know little of, and care less tor the re
sources and wants of our Commonwealth
they being the representatives of mere party
spirit and party schemes, regardless of the in
terests of their constituents and the people at
large. While other States have, heretofore,
been demanding and receiving legislative fa
vors, the great resources of Pennsylvania were
disregarded, because she had men there, who,
like Geo. M. Dallas, and some others of less
note not so far from this district, proved recre
ant to the trust confided to their keeping. Du
ring the past few yeais, however, the people
of our Slate have been waking up to the im
portance of exercising more care in the selec
tion of Congressmen, and men aro beginning
to be chosen not alone for tbeir devotion to
party, but also for their devotion to Pennsyl
vania because they understand and appreci
ate, and have the courage and honesty to ad
vocate and defend all the interests of our great
Commonwealth. When a good man is found
one who possesses the energy, the "back
bone," and the requisite amount of practical
qualification we think it is the duty of the
people to elect him. We conscientiously be
lieve that in Gen. John Patton, the Republi
can candidate, we have just such a man as the
wild-cat" district should have to represent
them in Congress. lie is an unwavering advo
cate of a Protective Tariff the interests of
Free White Labor will always receive his ac
tive support the men who toil in the fields
and the workshops will at all times find in him
a true friend and the cause of Freedom will
ever have in him a warm defender,who will, by
all constitutional and lawful means, resist ev
ery efiort to extend the blight of Slavery over
the Territories of the United States.
Miltox N. Taylor, of Baltimore, has writ
ten a letter, under date of August 8th, decli
ning to serve as one of the Democratic State
Electors for Maryland, and in speaking of the
Conention which nominated Mr. Breckin
ridge, he pointedly remarks ;
"I next inquired into the political lives of
the candidates which these gentlemen have
nominated, and find that the candidate for the
Presidency was for Gen. Taylor in 1848, that
he expressed Know -Not king sentiments at a later
period, that he was for Popular Sovereignty in
1856, and that he is for Congressional interven
tion in 1800; and I find that the candidate for
the Vice Presidency has been quite as erratic
as his chief. These results satisfy mc that,
however well suited their candidates may be
for the purpose of those who nominated them,
thcydonotat this time represent the princi
ples for which the National Democratic party,
both in the Union and in this State, are to do
battle now."
We direct the attention of the editors of the
Clearfield Republican to the above, particularly
to that which is in italics! It will be a good
text for another article against men who have
been guilty ot "hunting Catholics with a broad
sword and a dark lantern," and "talking of the
criminals and paupers shipped upon us by Ire
land and France." We like to see such arti
cles there is so much originality about them
that it does one good to read them they are
really refreshing. And, besides, it may be a
great treat to the editors of the Republican
themselves, they being specially fond of pitch
ing rough-shod into everybody tainted in the
least with Know-Nothingisni !
James K. Kerb, Esq., the candidate of the
Democracy for Congress in this district, made
a speech in Warren on the 20th ult. The Led
ger, his organ in that county, in noticing the
speech of Mr. Kerr, says :
"He reviewed the position of parties at the
present day with great force, and ably argued
the correctness of the principle of Popular Sove
reignty, as expounded by Stephen A. Douglas.
He announced that he was determined to slick
to thai doctrine, as being the only safe way of
. disposing of the Territorial question."
It is a fair logical deduction that, if Mr.
Kerr is "determined to stick" to Popular Sov
ereignty, he repudiates the Breckinridge dog
ma that Slavery, under the Constitution, ex
ists in the Territories, and that it is the duty
of the Federal Government to protect it there.
How do the Breckinridge Democrats of Clear
field like Mr. Kerr's position ? Will he "stick
to" it, when be gets among the Democracy
here, and finds that the territorial doctrine of
Douglas is anything but "popular" with a ma
jority of the party in this county" We shall
Bee, perhaps, what we thall see." '
INFORMATION WANTED.
S. B. Row: In looking over the Clearfield
Republican of Aug. 29th, I see the assertion
made, that Henry D. Foster "does not rest on
straddling two platforms." This bothered me
somewhat, for I had just been examining three
or four platforms which are claimed as Demo
cratic. At first the thought arose : perhaps, if
he does not straddle two platforms, he strad
dles four; then, again, if he does not straddle
four, he may perhaps "rest" on one, but whicn
one ? I then again referred to the platforms,
and taking up the one madeat Cincinnati,in it
I found a plank with these words : "That the
" time has come for the people of the United
" States to declare themselves in favor of lfec
" seas and progressive free trade !" Perhaps,
I thought, as Gen. Foster is a Pennsylvanian,
and this platform was adopted four years ago,
the Democratic doctrine on that point may
have been changed as well as on others, and
being against Pennsylvania interests, he would
not "rest" on that. So I turned to what is
called the platform of the Reading Conven
tion, which closed on the 2d day of March, in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight hun
dred and sixty, and at which Convention Gen.
Foster was nominated for Governor ; but, lo !
and behold! in the first resolution I found a re
affirmation of the Cincinnati platform. Now,
Gen. Foster, thinks I, we have got you "rest
ing" on a free trade platform ; but on further
examination I found a plank in the same plat
form, which says, "That the convictions of the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania remain un
shaken in the wisdom and justice of adequate
protection of iron, coal, and the other great
staples of the country." Now, says I to my
self, this begins to look like Pennsylvania doc
trine; but maybe this is "Polk, Dallas, and
the Tariff ot '42," come again. It sounds
very much like it, and the more I think over
it the more it appears to me like a cheat of the
same sort. I then referred to another plat
form, called the Breckinridge platform ; here I
found "that Congress has no power to abolish
slavery in the Territories; 2d, that the Terri
torial Legislature has no power to abolish sla
very in any Territory." I then turned to what
is called the Douglas platform, and found that,
according to its teaching, it is "Democratic
doctrine" to abide by the decisions of the Su
premo Court of the United States over the in
stitution of Slavery within the Territories.
Here my mind became confused with the con
flicting doctrines of the Democratic faith, and
I just thought, as the editors of the Clearfield
Republican were learned in all the mysteries of
Democracy, and know on which platform Gen.
Foster "rests," they would give the proper in
formation, so that we may know where to find
hira. A Voter.
The steamship Africa which arrived on the
31t. brings European dates, via Queenstown,
down to the 19th of August. The report that
a battalion of Garabaldians had been landed in
Calabria, is confirmed. The Paris Debats af
firms that the Neapolitan Home Secretary was
cognizant of Garabaldi's late visit to Naples,
and that he has accepted the post of Provision
al Governor of N?ples for King Victor Eman
uel. Lately 2G.000 stand of arms, 700 Orsini
shells, and a million and a half of cartouchce,
were secretly landed there. A Calabi ian, w ho
was arrested at Faro, confessed to having re-"
ceived money from Count d'Aquilla to assas
sinate Garabaldi. Two thousand volunteers
had been recruited in Greece for Garabaldi.
Garabaldi's agent in London is engaged rais
ing a battalion of 800 men for him. Already
500 names had been recived, and they were
of men of means, and the highest respectabil
ity. Garabaldi continued to reconnoitcr the
Neapolitan Littoral. The preparations for
war in Saidinia were progressing with activity.
The fortifications of Bologna have been made
formidable, and Placentia is now a first-rate
stronghold. The old gun founderies in Luca
and Florence had been revived, and France
had furnished 50,000 rifles of the Government
arsenals. The report that Austria would not
suffer any further revolutionary proceedings
in Italy is contradicted, and it is said that on
the anniversary of the Emperor's birth, equal
ity in civil and political matters, is to be pro
claimed for all Austrian subjects of whatever
creed. We have nothing later from Syria.
The wheat harvest had partially commenced
in the south of England, and the crops were
reported good. The weather, however, con
tinued wet and unsettled, and hot sunshine
was much needed. The Times announces that
Lord Stanley of Alderly will succeed Lord El
gin as Postmaster-General.
The Herald, the leading Democratic paper in
New York, in its issue of the 2d inst., says :
"The Breckinridge politicians of Pennsylva
nia, unable to raise funds for the campaign in
their own State, have sent Senaior Bigler and
Thomas B. Florence to this city begging for
money. Those gentlemen modestly ask for
the sum of twenty thousand dollars, stating
that, with that sum, they can carry the State
against Lincoln. A neatly printed card, sign
ed by Barlow, Schell, Cisco and seven or eight
other Breckinridgers of this city, has been ex
tensively circulated among the merchants lor
the last three days, inviting them to the New
York Hotel on Friday evening. Many of the
leading merchants refuse to respond, declaring
that no money shall bo subscribed until the
mansycrs of the different Democratic factions
stop their Kilkenny fighting and unite on one
Electoral ticket, and labor for the common
cause to prevent the election of Lincoln."
The Ilarrisburg Telegraph says : Gen. Fos
ter, the Democratic candidate for Governor,
through Hon. William II. Welsh, chairman of
the Democratic State Committee, has sent a
challenge to Col. Curtin to meet him on the
stump, in joint discussion. Col. A. K. M'
Clure, chairman of the Peoples' State Com
mittee.has promptly accepted the challenge on
behalf of Col. Curtin, and Col. M'Clure and
Mr. Welsh will meet op Monday evening next
in Philadelphia, to fix the times and places,
and the order of the discussion.
Horrible Funeral Ptre. Accounts from
Africa state that the King of Dahomy is about
to make an immense sacrifice of human life to
the memory of his late father. A great pit
has been dug, and in this pit two thousand
persons will be sacrified. He has sent out an
expedition to capture prisoners, the younger
portion of whom will be sold on the coast to
slavers, while the old will be thrown into the
pit to appease the manes of the deceased king.
A correspondent of the Troy Arena says
that among the visitors at Saratoga Springs is
a runaway nun. Sick and tired of confined
life, she ran away from the cloister, and is
now here with her lriends, recuperating her
health a contrast which must be sensibly felt.
Her face is really beautiful, and she attracts
no little attention by her modest, unassuming
behaviour.
The Clearfield Republican says "Henry D.
Foster rests on his past record, not on strad
dling two platforms." If he doesn't "straddle
two platforms," will the editors of that
be kind enouzh to inform na wbih . nt tho
"two" Democratic platforms he does ride ? It

POLITICAL ITEMS.
William Pinkney Ewing, Esq., of Elkton,
Maryland, a true-hearted Republican, address
ed a Wide Awake meeting at Wilmington,
Delaware, on the evening of the 17th inst. It
seems his address did not suit certain gentle
men of the Breckinridge party there, and a
correspondent of the Delaware Gazette sneer
ingly asked whether Mr. Pinkney was a resi
dent of Maryland. After stating that his an
cestors, for at least one hundred years, had re
sided in that State, Mr. P. adds: "And when
I intorm him that my grandfather fought in
the Revolution, my father in the war of 1812,
and that I was an elector on the Fremont tick
et, a delegate to the Chicago Convention, and
am now a Lincoln elector, and a soldier for
life on the side of freedom, he will need no
other assurance of my hatred of that pestilent
organization mis-named Democracy, aud my
devotion to the cause of my country and Re
publicanism. Is he satisfied ?"
There is an election district in St. Law
rence county New York, Silas Wright's old
home, which is ten miles long and two miles
wide. The whole numler of votes given for
Governor in 1858 was 150. Morgan had 140,
Burrows G, Parker 4. All of the Burrows men
are now Lincoln men ; two of the Parker men
experienced religion last winter, and one of
them a short time ago said that he had always
been a Democrat, but since his conversion,
he now looked at these things very differently.
At the present time there is not a man in the
district with sufficient assurance to declare
himself for either the Northern or Southern
Democracy.
"Douglas in Search of his Mother," will
soon become as proverbial as "Japhet in
search of his Father." Shortly alter his nom
ination, Mr. Douglas started. northward on the
pretext of visiting his mother in Western
New York. We have yet to learn that he has
succeeded in finding. his maternal ancestor.
To be sure, we have heard of him making
speeches iu Vermont, New Jersey, and finally
in Virginia, hoping, perhaps, to find his moth
er there. lie will, however, doubtles learn
that there is neither a President nor the moth
er of a President at the present time in the
"Old Dominion."
The Republican blood is up in the State
of Indianna. The recent gathering at Indian
apolis was an immense one literally an out
pouring of the people. The railroads carried
30,000 to it, and those who came in by other
conveyances swelled the uumber to over 4'J,
000. The procession was very long; in it
were some eight thousand Wide Awakes, fif
teen bands ot music, and a wagon drawn by
forty-three yoke of oxen, with several large saw
logs, with men splitting rails and distributing
them along the way.
Gov. Chase, of Ohio, closed a recent po
litical speech in the following beautiful lan
guage : "The fringes of the vast curtain
which hides the future, are all luminous with
the glories of the coining day. I will not at
tempt to lift it. Let us only steadfastly main
tain our principles ; let us sustain each other
by gcneious sympathy and cordial apprecia
tions; and, in this spirit, let us work and wait.
The veil will rise; the future will he ours."
It is said that when Mr. Douglas was at
Rutland, Vt., and just as he was entering
the hotel, a large Irish woman, rushed up and
grabbed him in her arms, and kissed him.
We doubt the story, but it may be that the
Milesian matron having heard of Stephen's
long and unsuccessful search after his mother,
thought it the duty of some motherly female
to show him some affection. Boston Bcc.
Four weeks pgo, the Democrats ot Ann
Harbor, Michigan, prepared a handsome pole
to erect in honor of their Presidential candi
date. But when it was ready to go up, there
were not Democrats enough to be found to do
the required lifting. At the end of three
weeks it was sold to the Republicans, who ad
ded thirty feet to it, and then run it up with a
shout for "Lincoln and Liberty!"
In the borough of Knoxville, Tioga coun
ty, Pa., there are sixty-five voters. Sixty-four
of them are Lincoln men, and the lone
Democrat is a Breckinridge man. Douglas is
"skunked" in that borough. In the borough
of Elkland, same county, there are eighty-six
voters. Eighty one of that number are for
Lincoln, and the other five are split between
Breckinridge and Douglas.
Wm. E. Dodge, Esq., of New York, one
of the most esteemed and honorable mer
chants of that city, of the well known house
of ' Phelps, Dodge & Co., and w ho was one of
the Vice Presidents at the Bell-Everett Ratifi
cation Meeting held in New York on the 8:h
of June last, repudiates the Syracuse juggle,
and has declared for Lincoln and Hamlin.
John Van Buren says that Cagger & Co.,
committed "the great blunder of the are,
when they fused with the Know Nothings, the
most violent enemies the Democratic party
over had." He also says he "will be much
surprised if Douglas carries more than a sin
gle State." What State that will be, John
does not mention.
The friends of Mr. Breckinridge in Ken
tucky have induced him to take the stump.
He speaks at Lexington on Sept. 5th, and the
arrangement of his friends is that he shall
make five or six speeches in Kentucky during
the canvass, probaply extending his tour
through other States.
A Douglas paper in this State returns
thanks for a copy of "Covode's Life and
Times of James Buchanan" alias tlw report
of the famous investigating committee. It
says that there are few public men so fortu
nate as to have their biographies compiled
from official records and sworn statements.
lion. Thomas B. Florence, Breckinridge
Democrat, was badly defeated by his Douglas
competitor, in the first Congressional District
of Philadelphia, last week. The old "navy
yard" member has lost his popularity w ith the
Democratic b'hoys of that city.
If any of our particularly pious democrats
should entertain doubts about Old Abe's
claims to distinction, they are respectfully re
ferred to the 5th verse of the 74th Psalm : "?
man was famous according as he had lifted up
axes upon the thick trees."
The fact has been overlooked that one of
the speakers at the great Republican meeting
at Springfiield, 111., Gen. John Wilson, Com
missioner of the General Land Office under
Mr. Fillmore, made a speech for Lincoln and
his principles.
The Rochester Express speaks of the or
ganization of an American Domocratic-Bell-Everett-Douglas
Club in that city. What a
mixture! A Chinese stew is nothing in com
parison. A flourishing Lincoln Club has been form
ed at Ironton, Missouri, in a place where two
years agthere was not an avowed Republican,
but which now will give 200 votes to Lincoln.
Since the State election in Missouri the
fight between tho Breckinridge and Douglas
factions of the Democracy is being carried on
with intense bitterness.

rtt.EPAB.ED FOR THE "RAFTSMAN'S JOURNAL.
Lycoming Cocntt. The Jersey Shore I e
dctte says: The highest and most destructive
freshet that has happened for many years occur
red on Pine Creek on the 24th of August. The
water rose some ten feet in about four hours.
The saw logs came down in vast numbers, and
with such force as to carry away many rafts
which were tied along the shore. A portion
of the Safe Harbor boom was carried away,
and a large number of logs escaped. A part
of the boom below, at Phelp's Mills, also gave
way, and the logs were carried out into the
river. We have no reliable information as to
the quantity of logs lost by the Phelp's Mills
Company, but have heard it estimated at two
million feet. We learn with regret that the
flood proved very destructive at Jersey Mil's,
(Stoddard's) The water overflowed the banks
and washed away a considerable quantity of
the ground about the establishment. It is sta
ted that the damage done is not less than a
thousand dollars. The flood has entirely ob
literated the rafting channel in the Creek,
and the raftsmen have found great difficully in
getting out. Bars are found in places where
none ever existed before. A number of rafts
have been brought out, however, and are on
their way to market. The flood seemed to
come from the very head of the Creek ; and,
lrom the heighth of the water and the rapidity
of the rise, it is evident there must have been
an extraordinary rain. The river also rose
very rapidly, and a good many logs were lost
out of the lower boom at Williamsport. The
upper boom remained secure, and caught most
of the. logs from above.
Blair County. On Saturday tho 25th ult,
Biddy Creely, whose husband is in the Ilolli
dayshurg jail, was found lying on the porch
iu front of her house in Irousville in a state of
beastly intoxication, and her child about three
weeks of age, on the floor in the house, cover
ed with filth, and so emaciated ns to scarcely
have the semblance of a human being. Its
limbs were not thicker than tho finger of a
man, and its feet and hands resembled the
claws of an animal, w hilst its face was fail ly
distorted with the pangs of hunger it was suf
fering. The child was taken up and cared for
by some ot the humane neighbors who had
been attracted thither by its cries, and Biddy
was arrested and committed to jiil, on the
charge of wilfully and ci nelly neglecting and
abandoning her child. ... A beast in human
shape, named Michael Corcon, was lodged in
the llollidaysburg jail for committing a rape
on Mrs. Filer of Allegheny township, on the
21st Aug. The woman and her little son had
been berry hunting, and or. their return were
met by Corcon, w ho laid hold of the vioman,
and after tearing the hair from her head, and
otherwise maltreating her, in the scuffle which
ensued, finally accomplished his hellish pur
pose. ... A clerk in Wolf's Clothing Store in
Altoona, undertook to have a little f un with a
worthless fellow known as "Black Charley" on
Thurday,the 23d. but in th effort lost his tt-in-piT
and stabbed the poor darkey, though fortt -nately
not inflicting a fatal wound. He was
taken into custody and bound over to answer
at next Court.
Crawford County. On the afternoon of
the 21th of August, a storm of w ind, rain and
hail passed over Venango borough, blowing
the roof off the large brick store room of John
Culbertson, and otherwise injuring the build
ing, one barn was blown over and another un
roofed, a brick building occupied by Mr. Kern,
was also unroofed, all the w indow panes expo
sed to the storm tvere broken, the fruit trees
were stripped bare, and corn and garden vege
tables destroyed. . . . On the evening of the
21th, a dreadful accident ocenrred at the saw
mill and lath-machine of Mr. Robert Ilerring
ton, near the aqueduct. Tho Lath Machine
was under full headway, when Mr. Herrington
observed some irregularity in the movement,
and going down below the mill, he found to
his horror that his little daughter had been
caught by her clothes upon a revolving hori
zontal shaft and was whirling round it at the
rate of one hundred and sixty times a minute,
and at every revolution striking her head up
on the ground. She was dead, of course, w hen
he discovered her, and mutilated in a manner
too dreadful too describe. She was about 12
years of age and remarkably intelligent. It is
supposed she had went below to play, and In
stepping over the shaf t her clothes were wrap
ped around it by the rapidity of its motion.
Mifflin CotNTY.-Miss Maggie Roseborough
was bitten by a rattlesnake, about two miles
from McVeytown. on Thursday the 23rd of
August, whilst returning from Jack's mount
ain, where, in company with several others,
she had been gathering berries. She was a
bout to cross a feuce on w hich the snake was
lying. It was so concealed on a rail that the
girl did not observe it until it had buried its
fangs in her wrist, where it held until she shook
it off. She then with great prescence of mind
bandaged her arm, which was rapidly swel
ling, and very painful, and hastened to the
residence of Rev. J. Haniwolt, where vari
ous remedies were applied to destroy the
poison and restore the suffering girl. Dr.
Rothrock was immediately sent lor, and has
tened to the bedside of the almost dying one,
and by his skilful and timely aid she was sa
ved from an untimely death. MissR. is yet
very ill, but the physician has pronounced her
out of danger. She was alone when the occur
rence took place, the company having previ
ously separated.
Indiana County. On the 20th Aug., Mr.
John Rough, conductor of a freight train on
the P. R. R., killed near Ililsido station, two

eight and a half inches in length, and had
eighteen rattles; the other measured five feet
two inches and a half, and had twelve rattles.
... On Sunday, the 2Sth, about 2 o'clock in
the morning, the house of Mr. Archibald
Stewart, of Armstrong township, together w ith
all its contents, was destroyed by fire. Mr.
Stewart, who is an old man and was sleep
ing up stairs, was obliged to make his exit
through an up-stairs window on to a porch,
and thence jumped to the ground. He saved
all his papers. The fire originated in one of
the lower rooms, probably from the stove.
Clinton County. On Friday night the 24h
August, the river rose suddenly to an unusual
height; the Boom above Lock Haven having
been left open, all the logs remaining it, which
amounted to near five million of feet, were
swept out into the stream and were not stop
ped till they reached the Williamsport Boom.
This will be a severe loss to the mill owners,
and the people of that place generally. The
mills will all have to close operations for the
season for tho want of logs. . . . Lock Haven,
according to the census just taken, contains a
population of 3,G20.
Armstrong County On Sunday, Aug. 22d
a fellow who was in liquor attempted some lib

yesterday that he had died of O wounds. We
hope it may not be so.
