8. B. ROW, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA., NOV. 7, 1860.
f :. THE WOLFS CRY.
. Daring the last week or two, the old bug
bear cry of dissolution has been freely indulg
ed in by Democratic editors and politicians.
'-Tho last Clearfield Republican was filled with
'this sort of stuff. The editor declared that
the Democrats of this county might "never
have another opportunity to cast a vote for a
'President of the United States." A corres
s pondent, M., whom we suspect to be a certain
Daniel, decribes In, vivid colors, the "alarm
and fears" that are agitating Southern people,
yet acknoweledges that "one of the largest
and most imposing Lincoln & Hamlin banners
he ever seen anywhere, is stretched across
one of the principal streets" of Wheeling,
and that "a respectable vbte for the Republi
can candidates will be polled in that city and
one or two of the adjoining counties !", Then
comes a very learned address, signed by the
"Chairman of the Democratic Standing Com
mittee," in which frightful things are foretold
in the event of Lincoln's election ; and finally
another address, of a similar tone, from the
Chairman of the State Executive Committee.
We shall preserve these precious documents,
and give our readers some of the most stri
king paragraphs after Old Abe's election, for
the purpose of showing what truthful fellows
these Locofoco editors and politicians are.
la the meanwhile, they . should read .the fol
lowing article from an extreme Southern pa
per, and learn in what estimation they are
held by sensible men in the South
j From the New Orleans Bee of Oct. 23. ,
"Frivolous Complaists. Nothing is more
common than for the brawling and excitable
partisans of State Rights - to declaim vehe
mently against the North, on account of its al
leged aggressions upon the South. To bear
these factions and discontented extremists, it
might really be imagiaed that the people of
the North were engaged in. a perpetual, and
systematical effort to bring ruin, disaster and
depopulation upon the South, and that this ef
fort has proved perfectly successful. Truly
the power of imagination is wonderful. Our
ultra State Rights brethren swear that e are
disgraced, humiliated and oppressed i that we
will soon be reduced to a condition ot vas
salage and servitude to the north, . and that
the o&Jy remedy left us is. to secede ; peacca
Wy if we can, forcibly if .we must. Their pa
thetic pictures of Southern grievances and
suffering, of Southern woe and anguish, of
Southern loss and desolation, are such that
not unfrequently those who listen to them
feel inclined . to bewail the. sorrowful fate to
which they are subjected, even while frankly
acknowledging that they had uever suspected
their misfortunes before.
, Werl, it is quite" possible that to the clear
and penetrating vision of a Disunionist, the
South is a victim to an innumerable catalogue
of calamaties all the exclusive result of
Northern injustice, fanaticism and fraud; but
to most other people these appalling evils are
entirely invisible. . The friends of the Union
humbly conceive their sight to be quite as
keen as that enjoyed by the Secessionists;
yet they peer about very closely, and even
with the aid of a ten -thousand ioJd magnify
ing microscope they fail to discern the mon
sters which affright the latter. Cob it be that
they are not to be seen because they do not
xist 4&atthc blight and mildew which are
aid to have fallen upon the south are naught
but the teeming products of the lugubrious
fancies -of extremists? We think that a mo
ment's rcflectionwill go far towards demon
strating that this is the sole solution of tho
probltm. " '
"Talk abont the ruin of the South ! Will
the State Rights Solons please inform us at
what period of onr national existence the
' South enjoyed so much of positive prosperity
as now?,- When were the comlorfs of life,
more generally diffused f ' When was it easi
er for tho humblest classes at the South to
earn their livelihood ? When were the agri
cultural resources of the South more univer
sally developed ?- When did the great staple
of our section furnish a more prolific yield,
command more remunerative prices, and en
rich our plasters more speedily ? It is when
cotton is selling at a profit ot more than a
hundred per cent, upon the cost value of the
production, or when field hands are sold at
fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars apiece,
that we are to be deafened by dismal outcries
of poverty and distress, by stories of North
ern monopoly and Southern subjection, and
that the guant and hideous spectre of Disun
ion is invoked as our guide to an imaginary
Utopia of independence, opulenee and honor ?
Is anything more needed as a practical and
unanswerable refutation of the false and silly
view of the oppression of the South, than the
story of her constantly progressive increase
in all the. elements of. material greatness?
Really we think the Jeremiahs of Disunion,
Who are perpetually bemoaning oaf sad Tate,
might discover abundant elements of consola
tion if they would only take the trouble to
use their eyes and look about them, t
o "Ay, but Southern aggressions, free' soil,"
the war upon slavery, are all insupportable :
and if we do not resist a once, in the course
f a few years our domestic institutions will
be inevitable exterminated. Snch is the
language in which many fiery spirits of the
Sooth are but to prone to indulge. If there
were much truth in this.it would certainly be
Loove us to pause and provide for the exigen
cy ; i but these assertions-have ' little founda
tion in the past, and are not likely to be reali
zed in the future People prate glibly of the
wrongs endured by the Sooth. -What wrongs?
We knov c t bat one real serious wrong, viz :
- the failure in most 'of the Northern States to
enforce the Fugitive Slave law,and even with
respect to this ft may be pertinent to remark
that it always wa enforced nnder the admin
istration of Millard Fillmore. Bnt granting
the full force of the argument admitting that
every year a dozen attempts are made to re
cover a fugitive lave,and are thwarted and de
feated by the Abolitionists : is this a grievance
eo intolerable as to Justify disunion and civil
war ? May ; it not be fairly counterbalanced
by the almost unbroken victories which the
South has achieved from the inception of the
slavery .question to the present time. Wuy
the Missouri Compromise was esteemed a
Southern triumph. . ' . -
"The reduction of the tariff of 1832 by the
bill ot , Mr. Clay was bailed as an . immense
victory. In 1850 the passage of the Compro
mise measures, adopted chiefly by Southern
voters, carried joy and gladness to Southern,
hearts. In 1854, the Kansas bill, with the ab
rogation of the Missouri Compromise line,
and the substitution of the grand principle of
Congressional non-intervention, was hailed at
the South as another legitimate object of ex
ultation. In short our section, by the energy,
common accord and perseverance of its rep
resentatives, has generally succeeded in ques-;
tions haviDg a sectional bearing. The , com
plaint has been, not that the North co needed
too little, but that the South obtained too much.
We are unable at this moment to recall a solitary
enactment-of a positively aggressive character
to the South ever passed by the Congress of the
United Stales.
"It, therefore, follows that with our section
of country in an eminently prosperous con
dition, and without a single law on the Con
gressional statute book affecting our, interests
injuriously, we have no earthly excuse for the
clamor and complaints incessantly raised by
certain classes amongst us. . The Union has
thus far been fertile in blessings to us ; and if
we are wise we will cherish instead of striving
io destroy it." , .. ..
THE RESULT IN CLEARFIELD COUNTY.
The returns received this morning, np to the
time of our going to press, are too meagre-to
estimate with any degree of certainty what tho
result is in this county for President and Vice
President. We append tho returns received.

5 Neobo Vote is Ohio ! Among the latest
lies circulated by Locofoco editors and ora
tors, is one which was repeated in New York
byllerscbel V.Johnson, Douglas candidate for
the Vice Presidency, to the effect that the Re
publicans carried the State of Ohio, at the Oc
tober election, by means of the Negro Vote !
that 14,000 negroes voted their ticket!;
Now let us see what the facts arc. ' From tho
Cincinuati Gazette we learn that the colored
population of Ohio numbers, all told, 25,279;
of these, 22,691 are males, and of the males
there are only 5,827 over 21 years of age.
The Gazelle, then goes on to say : - . , .
"By the Constitution of Ohio, none but?We
males over twenty -one can vote ; but the Su
preme Court decided that a man less than half
blood, was white ; consequently," if the judges
of elections should decide that a light-colored
mulatto was ; less than half, they might admit
him to vote. Now the number of this class is
not one-third of tho whole amount, and of the
5,827 colored males over 21, not more than
2,000 could possibly come within a legal right
to vote. Judge Urinkerhoff's clear majority
of the entire vote was 13,004. If, then, every
colored man in Ohio had voted the Republican
ticket, the Judge would still have had 8,000
white majority beyond that ; and if every one
voted for him, who had a right, he would have
had 11,000 iaj.v But, so far from this, we
challenge all the inspectors of elections in O
hio to show that three hundred colored men ac
tually voted at all; or, that two hundred voted
the Republican ticket. When we state that
half the colored population of Ohio are in tho
counties of Hamilton, Ross, Franklin, Pike,
Fairfield and Gallia, and one or two others,
where a negro voting would subject him to be
ing mobbed, it will be seen what an incredible
amount of eitker ignorance or lying is involv
ed in Mr. Johnson's statement." :

, Protestant Clekgy in Acstria. The pov
erty of the Protestant clergy in Bohemia and
Moravia, says a correspondent . of the Boston
Watchman and Reflector, is such that it will
do our poor ministers in America good to
know something of it it will make some feci
rich who now feel very poor. ; There are but
three or four Protestant pastors in Bohemia
who get as high as 400 florins ($200) a year.
The most of them receive but 200 florins:
These are nominal amounts, and in many in
stances they do not receive the half of it.
Many congregations are without pastors, and
are unable to procure them. The reform
ed Church in Prague is," or at least has been
within the present year, in this condition.
Both the Lutheran and Reformed Churches
have established small funds for tho widows
and orphans of their clergy, but the State
does nothing for this purpose.
lEttix Convicted. William Byerly, an
election officer in Philadelphia, who has been
on trial for the last week, charged with sub
stituting a fradulent return for a correct one,
by which Mr. Lehman, the Democratic candi
date for Congress, lost his certificate of elec
tion, has been convicted. The penalty for
this crime, under the new code, is a depriva
tion ' of citizenship, a flue of not moro than
one thousand dollars, and imprisonment not
exceeding three years. Judge Thompson re
fused the bail offered by the prisoner, and he
was committed to prison tojawait sentence.
It is asourco of gratification that tho laws
have been vindicated in this instance.

THE WAY SOME THINGS ARE DONE. ,
Tho" following article from the New York
Courier $ Enquirer of Oct. 30th, shows how
Mr. Secretary Cobb, in connection with some
of the monied men of that city, got np a panic
in financial circles, for the purpose of doing
injury to;"honest old Abe," and of carrying
that State against him. Instead of having the
contemplated effect, this rascally transaction
drove thousands of honest voters off the Dem
ocratic ticket. Here is the article :
"The Attempted Panic. The history of
politics in this country exhibits nothing so dis
reputable to all concerned, as the deliberate at
tempt made last week by capitalists and Dem
ocratic or Union banks, to create -a panic in
the money market, in the hope of thereby dri
ving the people into the support of the Fusion
ticket. We charge, and in a court of law
could prove, the existence of a conspiracy to
produce a panic, which far exceeds in infamy
anything of the kind ever heard of in this,
country ; and we could, it so disposed, give
the names of brokers, bankers and banks con
cerned in the conspiracy, which wonld utterly
astound our readers, and consign all implica
ted to the richly merited contempt of the pub
lic. Swindling is a crime which assumes dif
ferent phases ; but never is it more despicable
and disgraceful than when persons of wealth
and position combine to cheat men out of their
property, either for the purpose of enriching
themselves, or with a view to accomplish a po
litical purpose.' And yet this is precisely what
was done last week ; and that, too, with appa
rent success, so far as the cheating was con
cerned. The political effects have not been,
and will not be produced, even if the existing
attempt to get up a run upon our banks should
be successful.
"On Monday, of last week, we were apprised
that a combination had been entered into be
tween certain very heavy bankers and banks,
to "call in," simultaneously, all their "call
loans," and thus produce a panic in the stock
market, which was then to bo attributed to ap
prehensions of a dissolution of tho Union if
Lincoln should be elected and thus drive vo
ters from the Republican to the Fusion ticket !
He gave us the names of the individuals and
banks said to be parties to the conspiracy, and
s.aid that he doubted not but the work was then
progressing, as he knew that the notices for the
return of "call loans" had been extensively is
sued ; and he fixed tho arrangement of the
plot to the evening of the meeting on the cor
ner of Anthony street and Broadway.
"We paid but little attention to the story,
not believing it possible that capitalists would
indulge in such a hazardous game to achieve a
momentary political purpose, which at best,
could only lessen Lincoln's vote in the city,
and in no way affect his election. During the
morning, however, Broker after Broker repeat
ed to us that the most fearful attempt to Bear'
down tho Stock Market which they had ever
witnessed was then in operation. And they
added, that the cry in the street was that a dis
solution of the Union was inevitable if Lincoln
should be elected; that' all stocks would iu
that event, fall irom ten to twenty per cent. ;
and therefore the only safe course was to push
off everything. And to insure the sale of
stocks at a depreciation, there stood tho notice
to return all "call loans." To the uninitiated
we should explain, that the custom of dealers
and men of small '. capital, is, to borrow "on
call'? within five or ten per cent, ot the mar
ket value of any stocks ; and thus, with a
small, sum of money, hold for a rise, a large
amount of stock. Thus with fifty thousand
dollars, a man may easily hold half a million
or more, of any good stock.: But when the a
mount loaned is called in on twenty-four
hours'. notice, fit fallows, of course, that he
must borrow somewhere else, or sell his stock;
"Now then, when the persons loaning, com
bine to call in their Loans, what has the inno
cent holder to do but to throw his stock upon
the market 7 Or if he refuses to do this, why
then the capitalist sends the stock to a Broker;
to be sold at auction to. the highest bidder, a-
grecably to the printed conditions of the loan;
Of course, a combination of this kind, may
force many a million of stock upon the mar
ket on the same day ; and if so, who are to
become the purchasers ? Of course, the act
of forcing largo amounts of any; stock upon
the market, produces more or less panic ; and
then if those who are combined to produce
this result, stand aloof, it necessarily follows,
that the stock continues to decline, until fi
nally it is purchased at a very low figure by the
very persons who have forced it upon the market,
and possibly arrange among thetnscives at what
price they should jwrchase.
"Now this was the game played in our city
all last week ; and tojgive efficiency to it, Mr.
Cobb, the Secretary of the Treasury of the
United States, was present on -the spot, pro
claiming that in the event of Lincoln's election,
disunion was certain, and the total derange
ment of our monetary affairs inevitable! The
result was, a panic in the stock market, which
robbed honest men of millions of dollars, be
sides injuring the property of the widow and
the orphan and the retired business man, to
tho amount of tens of millions ; and all to
enrich the conspirators,and to prevent, if pos
sible, the election of Lincoln. We know of
no Highway Robbery more deserving of pun
ishment than the robbery by a capitalist who
loans his money "on call'', upon stocks, and
then combines with other capitalists, to com
pel tho innecent borrower to sell that stock
ten per cent, below its real value, and become
the purchaser of it himself!! He may at
tempt to stifle his conscience by pleading that
it was to achieve a great political object and
save the Union ! but we tell him that in the
sight of God and all honest men, he is a robber
aud a thief, and should be treated as such, al
though the law cannot reach him. '
"The New York Central, tho Erie, the Har
lem and the Hudson River Railroads, were the
principal stocks operated upon to produce
the panic ; bui as is well known, the entire
stock list was affected, and even the best State
stocks, were compelled to give way under the
fictitions demand for money thus created ; and
that, too, through the presence of the Secre
tary of the Treasury, brought here by tho
conspirators, to aid them in alarming the pub
lic, and robbing the widow and orphan. Wo
give, therefore, the transactions in the stocks
referred to, as affording a general view of the
game played. And if such has been the trans
actions in four stocks only, how enormons
must have been the operations in the entire
stock list, including State securities 1 What
millions of property havo thus been ruthless
ly destroyed ? and how enormous the amount
of this systematic swindling and highway rob
bery, under the auspices of the Government,
to produce a political effect ? ""
' "Tho sales of New York Central, for 'cash,
during tho week, amounted to 22,982 shares,
and on short time, to 10,800, amounting to
S3,378 000! The sales of Hudson River Rail
road amountod to 9338 shares ; the sales of the
Erie amounted to 17,148 shares,' or nearlv two
millions of dollars ; and of Harlem' to 10,720
shares I J r-And is it to be wondered at, that
under this pressure, New York Central fell six
per cent., equal to a depreciation of a million
and a half upon its capital? Or that Hudson
River fell four and a half per cent., Harlem
three and a quarter, and Erie nine and three-
quartersequal to nearly a million and a half
of property struck out of. existence for , the
time being to achievo a base political purpose !
And all this under the auspicices of tho Sec-

cy of capitalists wno can inemseives nonesi,
while they combine to rob the widow and the

And now, Messrs. Capitalists, who have
been engaged in this dirty work of deprecia
ting the property ol your neighbors under the
auspices ot tne uovernmeni ana you wuo.
have featuereu your nesis Dy wnai is no Dener
thanbighway robbery do you imagine that
you have gained a vote for Fusion by the ope
ration ? Perhaps yon laugh in your sleeves at
the question, and say that was only a cover.
Very possible. But take our word for it
your knavery has added in the City and State,
tens of thousands to Lincoln's vote. Possi
bly you anticipated such a result, and looked
only to making your fortunes by the operation.
But not so the 'Government and Mr. Cobb.
They were sincere at least in believing that
by the panic they wonld injure .Lincoln's vote,
and they acted like knaves to produce such a
result. We congratulate them upon the le
gitimate consequence of this knavery." .

"Peter's, Pence." Amoag - the. foreign
news brought by the Asia is the statement
that the Pope is claiming "Peter's pence"
from all the faithful, having already. expended
the 1,600,000 crowns, contributed by the faith
ful throughout the world. The 'Peter's pence
is not a voluntary contribution, "but a direct
tax levied on every household throughout the
country placed under contribution, r It is sup
posed to have first originated in England, and
was for centuries paid as tribute money from
a subject provinee to the Central Roman
Catholic power at Rome. At one time it a
mounted to a penny on every house and at a
notber to a penny on every twenty pence own
ed by the family. It was recognized by the
Norman laws of William the Conqueror, was
discontinued by Edward III, but afterwards
revived, and only terminated by tho rupture
of Henry VIII with the See of Rome. Pe
ter's pence" were paid by France, Poland,
and other realms, but for a long period the
the tribute has not been claimed. Its at
tempted renewal at the present time is tho
assertion of claims that were disputed even
during the mediaeval ages, and it will be curi
ous to see how the Roman Catholics in this
country will act in . the matter. Will they
virtually renounce their citizenship in the
United States, by paying a tax imposed on
them by a foreign potentate or will they meet
this arrogant demand with the answer of Lew
is of France : "Am I Rome's slave?" . .
A horrible discovery has been mado recent

ago, and of whom her parents, inhabitants of
the place, have r never since had , any news.
The neighborhood is in a state of great ex

will not be allowed to speak of it. The girl is
described as having been very beautiful and
precociously developed. She had been to her
first confession shortly before her disappear

The census takers are catching it on all

18,658." Increase -in votes 1392 ; increase 5 in
population 756. During ; the ten years, 770
