24th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
The lollowing is the official vote for Mem
ber of Congress in the several counties ol our
Congressional district :
Patton, Hep. Kerr, Dem.
Clearfield, 1929 1863
Clarion, 1797 2268
Elk, 417 C28
Forest, . 125 GO
Jefferson, 1872 1480
McKean,. . 1041. 686
Venango, . 2548 . 2101
Warren, 2097 1152
- ,11,826 10,216
: Majority for Patton, 1,580. No return was
made fromShippen township, McKean county,
which gives about 100 Republican majority.
Two years ago the majority ol Hon. Chapin
Hall, the Republican candidate, was 756. The
political complexion of the district may, there
fore, be regarded as permanently established.
Gen. Patton has reason to be proud of the
large vote he received, and his friends who
urged his nomination have the satisfaction of
kjaowiig that ho . more than redeemed their
pledges. Those who sneeringly alluded to
him as having in his youth been "a clerk in a
country retail store," may draw what consola
tion they can from the fact that, whilst the
Democratic candidate, Mr. Kerr, who is a law
yer, ran 41 votes behind the State ticket in
his own county, Gen. Patfon not only ran 174
ahead of his State ticket in Clearfield, where
Mr. Curtin is personally popular, but actually
obtained 64 majority in the county, whih has
always been regarded as irretrievably Demo
cratic. This, too, he accomplished in the face
o4 the bitterest and most unscrupulous opposi
tion that has ever been waged against any can
didate within our knowledge. His vote -at
home is the severest rebuke that could possi
bly have been given his defamers. A com
parison of the vote for Governor and Con
gressman throughout the district will afford a
bundant food for reflection to the Democratic
leaders in this county, who had intended to
"show the - people how bad they could beat
John Patton!" . ' '
"OFFICIAL VOTE FOR ASSEMBLY.
The following is the official vote Jor Assem
bly in the district composed of the counties of
Clearfield, Elk, Jefferson and McKean, by
which it will bo seen that both the Republican
candidates, Isaac G. Gordon and Samuel M.
Lawrence, have been triumphantly elected :
' ' ' Gordon. Lawrence. Benton. Brady
'Clearfield, 1772 1760 2026 2022
. Elk, 422 507 522 620
Jefferson, 1923 18(57 1422 1457
McKean, 9J5 1035 750 -071
Totals, . 5117 5169 4720 4773
Maj. for Gordon 344. Maj. for Lawrenee 396.
This finishes up tho last of the Democratic
district, in the "wild-cat" region. - The Con
gressional, Judicial, Senatorial and Assembly
districts to which Clearfield countv was at
tached, at tho time of their formation were
all Democratic ; now we have elected in them
a Republican Judge, a Republican Congress
man, a Republican Senator, and two Republi
can Assemblyman ! Hurrah for the "wild
cat" districts ! And now let us finish np the
reign of Locofocoisni in Clearfield county!
Truth and Right are on our side, and if we do
our duty, success will sooner or later crown
our eflorts.
. The editor of the Republican, the Democrat
ic organ in" this place, persists in saying that
Carl Schurz talked in a very naughty manner
about the Declaration of Independence. Why
don't he publish all that portion of Mr. S.'s
speech that relates to the subject, and let bis
readers judge for themselves of its force 7 It
won't occupy more than a column of space,
and we can furnish our . neighbor tho speech
entire, if he has no copy on hand. If ho is
sure he is right, tho editor of the Republican
shouldn't fear such a test. Until he lets his
leaders have the nngarbled language of Mr.
Schurz, Le is guilty of wilfully misrepresent
ing a man, who, we believe, is as warmly at
tached to the institntions of our country as
some who make louder professions. (
' , Tne political complexion of tho next Penn
- aylvania Legislature will bo as follows : Sen
ate, 27 Republicans to G Democrats ; ITousc,
70 Republicans to 30 Democrats f Rg&ublican
majority on joint ballot, 61. - A - '

THE "LOGGING INTEREST."
The last Clearfield Republican, in speaking
of the result in this county, says : .
"The rednction in our rtbe Democratic ma
jority, therefore, in the county, is entirely' ow
ing so me large influx ot citizens irora otner
counties and States. The logging interest con
tributed largely in this behalf, as is shown by
the vote in Bloom, Decatur, Guelich, Huston
and Morris townships."
How, how does this square with tho truth 1
Is it not well known that, so far as this county
is concerned, the "logging interest" is mainly
controlled by Democrats, some of the largest
log jobs being in the hands of leading mem
bers of the Democratic party 1 And Is it not
a fact that in Morris, Huston and Decatur, tho
Democratic leaders havo heretofore relied in
no small degree upon the "logging interest"
to keep up their vote ? The people in those
townships can doubtless testify to this. Mr.
Bowman, of Decatur, the Democratic candi
date for Auditor, and Mr. Perks, his partner,
are extensively engaged in the log business;
and yet it is contended that in that township
the Democratic majority was reduced by the
very "interest" witk which one of the candi
dates of that party is closely identified ! This,
we think, is "piling it on a little too strong,"
and we have no idea that tho Republican can
gull any sensible man with such stuff and clap
trap as that. We do not pretend to say that
all the log men are Democrats like in other
branches of business, there are Republicans as
well as Democrats engaged in it. But whilst
we have always endeavored to keep the log
question separate from party politics, it can
not be truthfully denied that in another of the
townships named, a very active and radical
Democrat has, in years past, managed to se
cure a majority to his party by influencing the
men whom he had in his employ.
In relation to the Republican's complaint a
bont "the large influx of citizens from other
counties and States," we have but two re
marks to make : First, that citizens from an
other State must be; not less than one year in
Pennsylvania before they are entitled to vote
here hence it is worse than folly to talk of the
Democratic majority being much "reduced"
by that element; And second, although the
Democratic leaders may regard "citizens from
other counties" as intruders and as endanger
ing the ascendancy of their party, we have yet
to learn that there is anything criminal in
such persons settling here for tho purpose of
carrying on a' lawful business, so long as they
do not interfere with the lights and privileges
of others, or assist in producing a nuisance. '
We have alluded to this matter only for the
pnrpose of exposing tho desperate means that
the Democratic leaders are resorting to for the
pnrpose ot keeping up the hopes and courage
of the rank and file of their party.
ELECTION FRAUD. .
It seems as '.f an election could not be hold
in Philadelphia without some rascality being
perpetrated. In tho first Congressional Dis
trict, John M. Butler, having been granted
the certificate of election, it is alledged that
this result was brought about by altering the
returns, and although Mr. Butler is a Repub
lican, it seems the cheating, if there was any,
has been done by the Democrats out of re
venge to each other. A correspondent of
tho Tribune writes from Philadelphia, under
date of Oct. loth, as follows:
There is a ferment among the politicians of
the 1st District touching an alledged fraud by
which Butler has been returned as elected to
Congress. If there be a fraud at all, it is ad
mitted that neitherButlernorany of his friends
had any knowledge of it. It is emphatically
a lamily quarrel among the different wings of
the Democracy. If any cheating has been
done they havo done it themselves. Lehman,
tne uouglas candidate, has been floored by
the Breckinridge men in revenge for the Doug
las voters boltiDg certain Breckinredge candi
dates for the Lezislature. Rnflr has rrrciv.
ed his certificate from the Return Judges; but,
under our law, two returns are made to the
Governor, one by them and one bv tho Pro-
thonotary, and as theso will not asrree. It is
oareiypossiDie ine uovernor may omit But
ler's name, and withhold a certificate under
the broad seal of the Commonwealth. The
fraud is said to be this, and occurred in the
Fourth Ward, Moyamensing, a district from
time immemorial ruled by the roughest of the
rough Democracy. The Judges of its pre
cincts met on Vednesda3' last and made up
their returns, appointing William Byerly, a
Breckinridge man, as return Judge to "the gen
eral meeting on Friday. Each of theso ten
Judges kept memoranda of the vote, as did
Mr. Lehman and the reporters, all being cop
ied from a book containing tho returns of tho
ten precincts, and this book gave Butler 1,003
votes, Lehman 1,518, and King 193. The
Judges signed such a return, and delivered it
to Byerly to hand in to the general meeting
on Friday. But on that dav he handed in a
return giving Butler 1,160 votes, Lehman 1,
389, and King. 206, thus defeating Lehman.
This last' return is alledged to bo forged.
Some of the signers swear their signature to
it are forgeries, while others say theirs arc
genuine.. Byerly has been bound over 0 an
swer for forgery,"yet it is well known he can
neither read nor write, so that if a wrong has
been done, others mnst have had a hand in it.
Altogether it is a strange affair to happen a
mong the harmonious Democracy, and where
the wrong is to be righted we do not exactly
see, whether in Court or in Congress. But a
fresh count of tho ballots will undoubtedly bo
had somewhere, and that being done, we are
persuaded that Butler will be shown to have a
majority and if Lehman has been cheated in
one ward, it is fully believed that Butler ha
been worse cheated in others. Should Leh
man obtain his seat, it will be some satisfac
tion to know that he is really an able lawyer,
an enthusiastic Tariff man, and heart and soul
anti-Lecompton, all which is infinitely better
than could have been said of Tom Florence.
The Epfects op Ad Valorem Duties. Wc
find, from an examination of the official re
ports of the General Government, that during
the last ten years, ending the 30th of June,
1860, there were imported into this country,
of foreign merchandize, the enormous amount
of $2,852,731,764, and that over and above tho
exports from this country, together with the
securities of various States and Incorporations
we have exported the sum of $485,666,277 is
sPECre; With theso simple facts before us, is
it not enough to arouse the American people
to a sense of their own rights, and lead them
to take such measures as will protect their
own interests and thereby stop this vast drain
upon their very lif-blood, their industry and
their enterprise ? ; -. ,!

Among the Iaat cards" of the Pennsylvania
democracy and which is being extensively cir
culated throughout the State of New Jersey,
is a pretended quotation from 'John M. Wil
son, one of the Lincoln electors for Massachu
setts," which was mado up of ibe most
blackguard, beastly abuse of our German and
Irish voters, representing them as brutish,
idiotic, drunken, blear-eyed, incapable of in
telligence, judgment or decency, &c. There
is of course no such ele.clor here as John M.
Wilson, and Gen. Wilson, whom it was evi
dently sought to identify with the pretended
extract, was never guilty of such language. It
is a complete falshood and libel. Springfield

RUSSELL'S IMPROVED FLEXlRr v
HARROW, Patented, Januarv 17th
"W need an improvement in Harrows," is a re
mark not unfrequently heard among farmers. .
mong the few improvements which have hereto
fore been made in this important and useful. w
might say indispensable implement of husbandry,
it would setti that none of them has fully met the
wants of the Agriculturist. Some are tio heavv
some too complicated and costly, and all are lilt!
ble to the objection that they are only adapted t
certain kinds of ground, for while it is easy tout
up a Imrrow that will work Well on smooth, clear
and level ground, it is net eo easy to find one that
wrll answer a good purpose ii new ground, amnni;
stumps or on a hilly and nodnIating surface, but
whon you get one of the latter cl;i;s. you may
rest assured that It will also givo sati.-factiun ou
a smooth surface.
The undersigned Confidently believe that this
object is fully attained in this improvement, and
would call the attention of Practical and Scienti
fic agriculturists to tho following important fea
tures which characterize it. First, its simnlieitv ;
secondly, its strength and durability, and lastly
its adaptcdncss to any and all kinds of surfa';o.
The following named practical Farmers, of Clear
field county, who havo used it this season thus
testify to it
We the undersigned farmers of Penn township,
Clearfield county, and State of Pennsylvania, hav

have no hesitation in saying that it has given eu
tire satisfaction and that from its simplicity and
cheapness it should speedly come into general u?e

The '-Scientific American,1' a paper with which
the scientific world is well acquainted speaks thuii
in reference to it. "The harrow is one of the must
important agricultural implements, as much de
pends upon the top pulverizing or dressing of the
soil, both before and af:er the seed is sown, for the
success of the future crop." Alter describing it,
it continues : -'This combination harrow is so cim-
Fle, that it is superflous to extend this description.
t can be made cheap, strong and durable, and it
is well adapted for Harrowing either well clear
ed or rough ground.
Tho undersigned havo purchased the riht t
make, sell, use, and transfer their right to do tho
same, within the county of Clearfield, and are
now prepared to furnish the article to all who wi-h
to purchase, on reasonablo terms. They will a!sj

HOSTETTEIl'S STOM
ACH BITTERS. The proprietors and
Manufacturers of llostetter's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters can appeal with perfect confidence to phy
sicians and citizens generally of the United Statei,
because the article has attained a reputation hc.--toforft
unknown. A few facts upon this point will
speak more powerfully than volumes of bare a?er
tion or blazoning puffery. The consumption of
llostetter's Stotnach Bitters for the last year -mounted
to over a half-million bottles, and from
its manifest steady increase in times past, it is ev
ident that durinjj the coming year the consump
tion will reach near one million bottles. This im
mense amount could never have been sold but fjr
the rare medicinal proprtiuscontained in the pre
paration, and the sanction of the most prominent
physicians in those sections of the country whers
the article is best known. who not only recommend
the Litters to their patients, but are ready at all
times to give testimonials to its efficacy in all e
sesof stomaohic derangements and the diieaso? re
sulting therefrom. This is not a temporary popu
larity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way
of trumpeting the qualities of the Hitters, but a
solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which
is destined to be as enduring as time itself
llostetter's Stomach Litters have proved a God
send to regions where fever and ague and various
other bilious complaints have counted their vic
tims by hundreds. To be ablo to state confident
ly that the '.bitters' are a certain cure for the Dys
pepsia and like diseases, is to tho proprietors a
source of unalloyed pleasure. It removes all mor
bid matter from the stomach, purifies the blood,
and imparts renewed vitality to tho nervous sys
tem, giving it that tono and energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. It operates upon
the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores theia
to a condition essential to the healthy discharge
of the functions of nature.
Elderly persons may use the Hitters daily as per
directions on the bottle, and they w ill find it
stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining
years, as it is pleasant to the palate, invigorating
to tho bowels, excellent as a tonic, and rejuvena
ting generally. We have evidence of thousand
ofaed men and women who have experienced
the benefit of using this preparation while suffer
ing from stomach derangements and general de
bility; acting under the advice of physicians,
they havo abandoned all deleterious drugs and
fairly tested the merits of this artiele. A few
words to the gentler sex. Thero are oertain pe
riods when their cares are so harrassin? that many
of th em sink under the trial. The relatione! mo
ther and child is so absorbingly tender, that the
mother, especially if she be young, is apt to for
get herown health in the extreme anxiety for her
infant. Should the period for maternity arrive
during the summer season, the wear of body an t
mind is generally aggravated. Here, then, h
necessity for a stimulant t rerupratc- the ener
gies of the system, and enable the mother to bear
up under her exhausting trials and responsibili
ties. Nursing mothers generally prefer tho Lit
ters to all other invigorators that receive the en
dorsement of physicians, because it is agreeable
to the tasto as well as certain to give a permanent
increase of bodily strength.
All those persons, to whom w have particular
ly referred above, to wit : sufferers from fever and
ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery, in
digestion, loss of appetite, and all diseases or de
rangements of the stomach, superanuated inval
ids, persons of sodentary occupation, and nursicg
mothers, will consult their own physical w df ira
by giving to llostetter's Celebrated Stomach Hitters-
a trial.
Caution. We caution the public against uic;
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for JlastetteraCeUbratal tSto-msrrh Litters, and
that each bottle has the words "Dr. J. Il'Mtotwr'
Stomach Bitters'' blown on the side of the bottle,
and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork,
