8. B. ROW, EDITOR A5D PBOPRIKTOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA., NOV. 21, 1860.
AN EDITOB ON LITEEASY STILTS.
We like to see a man, when be baa anything
to do, doing it with all bis might. If he has
praise to bestow, let him give him it heartily;
if be baa censure to mete oat, let him adminis
ter it unstintedly. Actuated, probably, by such
feelings, the editor of the Clearfield Republi
can, tho Democratic organ in this county, re
proves, in a severe manner, the "refractory
members" of bis political "family." "It is
" mortifying to us to know," says he, "that not
only in oar own town and neighborhood, but
" throughout the whole country, numerous in-
dividuals, who have heretofore been acting
" with the Democratic party, seen fit to desert
" ua or, not vote at all." Having, with the
politicians of Jus party generally, looked anx
iously, Micawber-like, for "something to turn
up," by which the Republicans might be de
feated, and being sorely disappointed in that
expectation, it does not surprise us to hear our
up town neighbor aflirm that those who went
" square over to Lincolnism, are willing to a
" vow a principle bad and wicked as it may
' prove in the end to every one of us." Our
dull comprehension prevents us from discern
ing clearly what "principle" he refers to as
being likely to prove "bad and wicked" to
those be embraces in the phrase "every one of
us unless we keep in view the fact that both
the junior and senior partners in the Republi
can establishment, as well as some influential
friends, hold public offices which they may
possibly lose before very many mouths pass a
way. Of "those Democrats who did not vote
at all," he speaks very distinctly ; he says they
"represent nothing not even themselves ;"
and "are an injury to any causehey espouse,
" as they are certain to flee when danger ap
" proaches." Poor fellows, what a deplorable
situation tbcy must be in f We don't know
what they are to do. If they are not as great
cowards as our up-town neighbor represents
tbem to be, they might go South and secede.
After thus sharply reprimanding the "re
fractory members" of his party, the editor ot
the Republican turns his attention to such as
continued firm till the battle was ended. "To
those," he remarks "who stood by us we
' say, well done ; but you have done nothing but
your duty." Though the concluding words
may seem a little frigid, if not arrogant, those
to whom it is addressed will doubtless leave it
pass quickly from their minds and dwell with
admiration and wonder on tho brilliant sen
tence which our neighbor uses in immediate
connection with the foregoing, viz: "Let not
thoso Democrats, who plainly and explicitly
declare for Constitutional truths, fear to
" loose by tbeir explicitness ; let not those who
" implicitly, or less explicitly, declare their as
"sont to the same truth, hope to gain by
" tbeir explicitness." Very likely they wont.
We take it for granted that such an "explicit"
intimation will be "implicitly" obeyed by the
"true friends of the Constitution and the 17
nion," who are told that they "deceive them
selves egregiously" if they "imagine that the
Democratic party at the North can sustain
" itself against the Republicans by standing
timidly, sbrinkingly, tender-footedly, and
cowardly on the platform of adjudicated
" constitutional truths." We shouldn't won
der if they did. And our neighbor tells bis
friends that there is only one way to save tbeir
party, (which he says he can and will redeem,)
and that is, in "fraukly, firmly and fearlessly"
planting themselves upon "tho great funda
mental truths and principles of the Constitu
tion." Then, warming up with his subject, he
paints in vivid colors what will be the fate of
our great governmental structure. "If wecan
" not succeed in this manner," he exclaims
with tragic effect, then it will be evident that
" the American Union is nothing but a lifeless
corpso, a phantasm of magnificent greatness,
" a mere sham of power ; and is about to en
" ter the great Maelstrom of departed Repub-
" lies," (u-g-h, we tho't she was gone,) "and
" live only in memory and history in the lugu
brious procession of the departed empires of
" the Old World." Wouldn't that be horri
ble ! We do hope that our beloved Union will
keep out of such an outlandish "procession,"
with snch a jaw-breaking adjective as that 1
Be that as It may, bowever, we cannot but ad
mire the 'explicit' and eloquent language which
the writer in the Republican uses throughout
his article. Such scholastic joms are rare, and
we 'know of nothing that will come near it in
comparison, unless it is the aecount given by
a Western reporter of a lecture which he says
was "designed to demonstrate the mysterious
" operation of the disintegration of the etomo.
" logical formula, in which the etomological
" element predominates in logical form, by a
mysterious conformation of sympathetic au
" thenticated integration of vernacular phe
" nomena, terminating, in intricate material
" resolutions of a spiritual nature, in referen
tial, indirect and objective analysis of the
ego and non ego of the individual, which re-
salts in three cognotive epochs of miscella-
neous things." We do not pretend to be a
competent judge of such things, and therefore
leave it an open question whether the writer
jn the Clearfield Republican or the Western re
porter conveys his ideas most "explicitly."

THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW.
The Democratic editors and politicians arc
much troubled about Mr. Lincoln's views on
tho Fugitive Slave Law. They labor hard to
create the impression that the President elect is
averse to the principle of the Act, that be will
oppose its enforcement, and that slave owners
will bo afforded no protection should they at
tempt to capture their runaway 'property.' A
complete refutation of all such talk as this can
be found in the published Debates between
Lincoln and Douglas in 183S, page 88. In re
ply to a question put by Mr. Douglas, Mr. Lin
coln says he does "not now, nor never did
stand in favor of the unconditional repeal of
the Fugitive Slave law.' Alter having given
succinct answers to all the interrogatories pro
pounded by his competitor, Mr. Lincoln goes
on and speaks of them in detail. Of the one
already referred to, he says : -
"In regard to the Fugitive Slave law, I have
never hesitated to say, and I do not.uow hesi
tate to say, that I think, under the Constitu
tion of the United States, tho people of the
Southern States are entitled to a Congression
al Fugitive Slave law. Having said that, I
have bad nothing to say in regard to the exist
ing Fugitive Slave law, further than that I
think it should have been framed so as to be
free from some of the objections that pertain
to it, without lessening its efficiency."
We believe every well-informed Republi
can, at least, was fully aware that Mr. Lincoln
occupied this position. Certain is it that "the
Se wards, the Greelys, the Wades," and others
about whom the Democratic editors are so
much concerned, knew all about it, and assist
ed to circulate hundreds of thousands of the
pamphlets containing the speech from which
we make tho extract. We hope, therefore,
our disinterested Democratic friends, who fear
a rupture will take place between Mr. Lincoln
and some of the leading Republicans, will qui
et their solicitude as much as possible. They
might also keep in view the fact, that if there
has been any violation of the provisions of the
Fugitive Slave law, it has been under the Dem
ocratic Administrations of Franklin Pierce and
James Buchanan, and if the South has cause
for complaint on that score, they should hold
Buchanan and Pierce, and the party that elect
ed them, responsible for it, and not a party
that has been cut of power during nearly the
entire period since the law was passed.
SOUTH CAROLINA MINUTE MEN.
The Charleston Courier publishes the con
stitution adopted by the Minnte Men of that
city, the objects of which organization arc
stated in the preamble to be as follows :
"We, the undersigned, citizens of the Stato
of South Carolina, cognizant of the grave is
sues which will be inaugurated by the election
of a Black Republican Presideut of these U
nited States, and deeply impressed with the
necessity of the formation throughout the
South of a political organization having for
its object the preservation of the political in
tegrity and equality of the slavcholding States,
and recognising, as we do to the fullest extent,
the importance of maintaining the doctriue of
States rights, which justifies the right of se
cession as a constitutional resort of a people
whoso rights under the Federal compact have
been violated and trampled on, do hereby
form ourselves into an association, to be
known under tho name and style of the 'Min
ute Men,' for the purpose of sustaining our e
quality in the Union, or failing in that, to es
tablish the independanc of our State out of it.
And we do further pledge ourselves, in the e
vent of the election of Lincoln, and a conse
quent call for a Convention of the people of
the State of South Carolina, to vote lor those,
and those only, who, as members of such Con
vention, will, in default of co-operation, ad
vocate separate Stata action."
Tbo concluding article of the constitution
consists of the pledge which every person is
required to make and sign on becoming a
member. It is as follows :
"I do 8olemnIv rlerl(r mv wnrd of hnnnr
l o j - - - - - J
as a member of this association, that I join it
witu a urm and unconditional determination
tO CarrV OUt its objects . set forth in n r.rn-
amble ; and I further pledge myself to do all
tilings consistent witn my legal responsibili
ties to advance the objects of this association
and preserve its decrees."
"Slave Repkesentation." The last Clear
field Republican undertakes the difficult task of
showing that the North has the advantage over
tne South, so far as the Negroes go, because
a free negro at the North counts a whole one
in representation, while a slave In the South
counts but three-fifths of one. The writer in
the Republican forgets, however, to tell that
the South had, when tho last apportionment
was made, more free negroes than the North.
By the census of 1850, it appears that there
were 3,201,089 slaves, and 434,203 free color
ed persons, in the United States. Of the free
negroes, 196,016 were in the Noithern States,
228,128 in the Southern States, and the bal
ance in the District of Columbia. Thus, it
will be seen, the South, and not the North, as
the Republican would have it appear, has the
advantage in even free negroes for. if we
mistake not, a free negro in the South counts
as much in representation as one in the North.
A few other facts, it may not be amiss to stato
here. Sixteen Free States, with a population
in 1850 of 13,237,670, had 32 Senators and 144
Representatives in Congress. Fifteen Slave
States, with a white population of 6,186,477,
had 30 Senators and 90 Representatives in
Congress. Any person who can subtract, add
and divide figures, can easily learn, by com
paring the above statistics, whether the asser
tion of our up-town neighbor is correct, that
"in this question of representation, the Nor
thern States have a decided advantage over
the States in the South."

THE DISUNION MOVEMENT.
The tidings from the South are of a more
harmonious and peaceful character. While
we admit the existence of great popular ex
citement, the most conservative indications
present themselves. In Baltimore there is a
better feeling among commercial circles, aud
the former activity in trade is about to bo re
newed. In Georgia the members of the Le
gislature, forgetful of the danger hanging over
our late lamented and beloved country, are
dividing themselves off into Cobb and Iverson
factions,' the object of each - cabal being to
elevate their favorite into the Senate of the
United States of North America. This is an
agreeable sign among the tumult of disunion.
Florida has intimated an intention of joining
South Carolina, while through Virginia, Ten
nessee, Kentucky, and North Carolina conser
vative counsels are rapidly increasing. In or
der that our readers may judge for themselves
as to the character and extent of the secession
movement, we append a few extracts from
Southern papers.
From the Baltimore, Maryland, Clipper.
The fact is, the politicians but not the peo
ple of South Carolinia, Georgia and Alabama,
have for months past made so many threats as
to what they would do in the event of the elec
tion of Lincoln, that they feel obliged in hon
or, to do something. The occasion they con
templated has happened and they cannot let
it pass without some action. They aro doing
as little as they can. They sre making dis
union speeches and propose to call conventions
to deliberate and determine what should be
done. They don't intend to do anything seri
ous. They will content themselves with pass
ing resolutions if they are only let alone.
When the secret is told, it will be ascertained
that a few interested Southern politicians and
a few interested Jsorthern merchants nre at tht
bottom of all these so called disunion move I
ments. The great conservative sentiment oJ
tne country is silent, me masses who aril
opposed to disunion have not hing to say. They
make no demonstrations. They are waiting
quietly for a necessity for action. They arq
not to be victimized by silly levers or by hot
headed speeches. When the time comes foi
action, if it ever should come, which God it
his infinite mercy forbid, they will be fount
ready and willing to act and to take the leai
where the noisy disunionists will be afraid t
follow: but that time is not yet. If thesd
people in the cotton States are only let alont
severely,they will soon froth out their rage an(J
settle down to equanimity of temper and con-l
elude to wait patiently to see what they shal
see. 1 hey will discover that under existing
circumstances they canrot present to the coun-i

From the Petersburg, a., Intelligencer.
The returns in have shown beyond doubt
that Lincoln is onr next President. We fearno
evil from his administration. AVe do not be
liove that ho will trample on our rights, but
will pursue a vastly more conservative course
than our politicians have endeavored to im
press upon the Southern mind he would pur
sue. Apart from this, tec are for submitting
to the Constitutional expression of tho opinion
of the majority. We shall (sbonld the Union
be preserved), support him in his constitution
al action, and oppose him when ho pursues
the opposite course.
The Nashville, Tennessee, Patriot, after an
nouncing the election of Mr. Lincoln, ridi
cules the position of South Carolina, and
adds :
"We entertain the loftiest respect for Gov.
Gist ; we greatly admire bis remarkable
strength of character, as well as his scholarly
mind, as exhibited in his masterly State paper
labeled "No. 1," and we have always been of
tho opinion that South Carolina is about the
only State in the Union that is entitled to any
constitutional rights or worth a continental
cuss ; but notwithstanding that respect, that
admiration and that opinion, we would advise
him and South Carolina to adjourn their Le
gislature as soon as it fixes up its electoral
business, and then go home, strap down their
pantaloons, and hire somebody to hold them
until old Abe guts to meddling with matters
that don't concern him, and then feather in
npon him and wear him out."
The people of South Carolina and some of
the other secession States, it would seem from J
the following despatch, are getting tired ofl
the excitement into which they have been
precipitated: ,
Charleston, Nov. 16. Tho excitement in
this State, as well as Georgia and Alabama,has
sensibly diminished within a day or two past,
and the conservative portion of the people
(and more especially the commercial classes)
are anxious for a speedy end of the commo
tion that exists. They contend that matters
have gone quite far enough, and that the best
interests of the Slate demand that good feeling
toward the North shall once more and speedi
ly be restored. With regard to many of the
stories and reports sent from here, at least one
half are wholly destitute of foundation.
A despatch from Charleston, South Caroli
na, dated Nor. 17th, says the people inaugura
ted the revolution that morning, the leading
merchants erected a mammoth pole, and the
hoisting of the Palmetto flag was duly celebra
ted. Private advices from Mississippi indi
cate a fearful condition of sentiment there also.

its manifest steady increase in times past, ltjs ev
ident that during the coming year the corifump
tioji will reach near one million bottles. This im
mense amount could never have been sold but for
the rare medicinal propertiescontained in the pre
paration, and the sanction of the most prominent
physicians in those sections of the country where
the article is best known, who not only recommendl
the Bilters to their patients, but are ready at alf
times to give testimonials to its efficacy in all ca
sesof stomachic derangements and the diseases re- j
suiting therefrom. This is not a temporary popu-;
larity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way
of trumpeting the qualities of the Bitters, bntai
solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, wkiclt
is destined to be as enduring as time itself -

source of unalloyed pleasure. It removes all mor-l

for the restoration of health. It operates uponi
the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them"
to a condition essential to the healthy discharger
of the functions of nature.
Elderly persons may use the Bittersdaily as pert

stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining!

they have abandoned all deleterious drugs and
fairly tested the merits of this article. A few
words to the gentler sex. There are certain pe
riods when tneircaresare so harrassing that many 1
of them sink under the trial. The relation of 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 and
mind is generally aggravated. Here, then, is a
necessity for a stimulant to recuperate the ener
gies of the system, and enable the mother to bear
up under ber exhausting trials and responsibili
ties. Nursing mothers generally prefer the Bit
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.

PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.
PREPARED FOR THE "RAFTSMAN'S JOURNAL.
Biair Cocntt. Mr. David Bolger, of Mar
tinsburg, whose mind for some days previous
seemed to be unbalanced, disappeared on the
7th Nov., and although close search lor him
was made, at last accounts no clue to his where
abouts had bem discovered. He is about 50
years of age, with rather sharp features, and
is between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet high.
The only cause for his derangement is suppos
ed to be the recent death of a beloved son,
which had deeply affected him. . . . Mr. Harry
Campbell, a blacksmith in the Company's
shop at Altoona, whilst at work at his anvil on
the 12th, was struck on the inner side of his
arm by a chip oil a piece of iron he was cutting
with a chisel, and penetrating to the bone,
glanced downward, passed through the mus
cles, and lodged some 5 or 6 inches from the
place of its entrance, where all attempts to
remove have proved unsuccessful, and occa
sions him great suffering. . . . Augustine Ham
stead, a fireman on the Pennsylvania Rail
road, had, on the 10th inst., his leg broken be
tween the knee and ankle and his toot crush
ed, by being caught between the cross-heads
of the locomotive which he was greasing. . . .
George McDonough, son of Mr. Strickler, of
IloIIidaysburg, aged three years, was so burn
ed on Sunday morning, the 4th, as to cause his

Borrowed Plumes. The ball given to the
Prince of Wales in New York, was attended
by what was considered the very cream of
New York aristocracy. A fact has come out,
however, which shows even such are prone
to shine on false pretentions. It seems that
many of the costly jewels which shone so daz
zlingly on the ladies on' that occasion, were
hired from a jeweler for that evening. It is
said he received enough for the jewels thus
loaned to pay his store reut for a year.

named Gartrel, who had voted for Lincoln,
was seized by a party while he was coming out
of the Court House, and carried a short dis
tance from the village, where he was blacked
completely with printer's ink, mounted on his
horse, and started for his house in as uncom
fortable a situation as one would wish to be in.
Rarey, the horse tamer, is expected homo
soon. He has accumulated, it is said, not less
than $50,000 by his exhibitions and schools
in Europe. He has recently been to the Shet

rpiIE TRIBUNE FOR 1861 PROsrEC
JL TUS. The XXth A'olume of the AVeeklj Tri
bune commenced with the issue of Sept. 1. bar
ing the past year Tho Tribune has been obliged tu
devote quite a large proportion of iu space to pol
itics, but we shall goon bo able to forego Political
discussions almost entirely, for months if not fur
years, and devote nearly all our columns to sub
jects of less intense, but more abiding, interest. A
mong these, we mean to pay especial attention t
I. Education. Tho whole subject of Education,
both Popular and General, will be discussed in
our columns throughout tho year lSdl. and w
hope to elicit in that discussion some of thepru
foundest thinkers and the ablest instructors iatiar
country. It is at once our hope and our resolve
that the cause of Education shall receive an im
petus from the exertions of The Tribune in it3 be
half during the year 1 SO I .
IT. AGRicuLTfitE. AVe have been compelled to
restrict our elucidations of this great intere!
throughout lSi0.andshaU endeavor to atone there
for in lfcOl. Whatever discovery, deduction, de
monstration, id calculated to render the reward of
labor devoted to cultivation more ample or mure
certain, shall receive prompt and full attention.
III. Mascfactckes. Ac. ATc hail every in
vention or enterprise whereby American Capital
and Labor are attracted to and advantagcoaiW
employed in any department of Manufacturing or
Mechanical Industry as a real contribution to tbe
Public Weal, insuring ampler, steadier, more con
venient, morn remunerating markets to the Farm
er, with fuller employment and better wagei to
the Laborer. The progress of MiniDg. Iron-Making,
Steel-Making. CIoth-AVcaving, Ac. ia our
country and the world, shall be watched and repor
ted by us with an earnest and active sympathy.
IV. Fobkigx Affairs. AVe employ the best cor
respondents in London, Paris, Turin, Rerlia, e!
other European Capitol, to transmit us early ni
accurate advices ot the great changes there silent
ly but certainly preparing. In spite of the pres
sure of Domestic Politics, our News from the 0!d
AVorld is now varied and ample ; but we fhH
have to render it more perfect during the event
ful year just before us.
A. IIomb News. AVe employ regular paid cor
respondents in California, at the Isthaius of P'
rien, in the Rocky Mountein gold region, or who
ever else they seem requisite. From the wore
ccssiblo portions of our own country, we deriv
our information mainly from the multifarious cot
respondents of the Associated Press, from our ei
changes, and the occasional letters of intellig""
friends. AVe aim to print tho cheapest general
newspaper, with tha fullest and most authentic
summary of useful intelligence, that u anywber
afforded. Hoping to "mako each day a critic os
the last," and print a better and better paper frott
year to year, as cur means are steadily enlarged
through tbe generous co-operation of our macJ
well-wishers, wo solicit, and shall labor to d
6erve. a continuance of public favor.
