CLEARFIELD, PA.. MARCH 13, 1801.
' .' - THE CONSTITUTION
- An appeal to the passions of mankind is '.a
more ready way to incite a commnniry to ac
tion, than a resort to reason. When passion is
inflamed, like mi infectious disease, the circle
widens and widens until all w ho are within its
influence become feverish, and Icr the while
reason loses its sway. Such appeals though
the most efficient are the most dangerous, for
tuaa blinded by passion may destroy his only
substantial good, or in fleeing from anticipa
ted ill rush upon evils ten times more terrible.
These thoughts force themselves upon us when
we review our history, particularly that of the
last few months. Our government was crea
ted to "establish justice, ensure domestic
tranquility, provide lor the common defence,
promote the general weltare and secure the
blessings of liberty" nobler, better objects
than these could no people have adopted
they are aummnm bonum comprise all tempo
ral benefits which man should seek or desire.
The prosperity or adversity of any individual
has a greater or less effect on tbe whole com
munity. .The success of the many is the ob
ject to' be attained, and its attainment proves
beyond cavil that the government lias per
formed its inis.-ion. The sim has never shone
upon a freer, happier or more prosperous peo
ple than we have been, and if we arc but wise
and study and practice the teachings of those
who conceived aud projected our glorious
Constitution, that brilliant luminary will, as in
its regular course it .lights our eastern shores,
disclose the progressive strides which we are
making towards our manifest destiny and the
solutiou of the problem man's capability for
self government. Our Constitution was a
compromise. It was the product of careful,
prayerful deliberation. If it was not perfect',
its comprehensiveness and excellence was the
marvel of thinking men and the subject of
their panygeric. Unless impious hands des
troy it and demolish the fair fabric of a gov
ernment which has been raised upon it whilst
a jot or tittle remains it should be respected
and obeyed, as it declares itself to be the su
preme law ot the land. It is our ark of safe
ty. When a flushed and victorious majority
seeks to override the few and trample their
rights in the dust, the minority can fly to the
Constitution, invoke its protection and it will
palsy the arm of a majority intent on wrong.
Our fathers displayed foresight in providing a'
means of changing tho organic law of the land
by amendments to the Constitution and thus
removing all reasons for revolution. Their
wisdom is apparent by the checks which pre
vent amendments in time of intense excite
ment. They believed the sober second thought
of the people would correct the dangerous po
sitions assumed by men during popular com
motions. Let us, like them, view men who
pander to the prejudices of a community as
enemies of themselves and of the people. If
our Constitution does not suit the exigencies
of the times let us divest ourselves of passion,
and as reasonable, thinking men, with an eye
biuglo to the good of our whole people, take
tluj proper steps and make sucit amendments
as are necessary and then trust to Providence
for the future.
The Isai-gcral. The Philadelphia Bulle
tin, in speaking of the ejects produced in that
city by Mr. Lincoln's inaugural address, says:
"The general impression in this city, among
moderate men of all parties rtppears to be that
the President could hardly have snid more
or less. While his assurances are full that
the rights of the South shall not be invaded,
and that the Constitution shall be strictly
observed, he is equally explicit that the laws
shall be faithfully enforced. If this brings
on collision, it does not appear that the res
ponsibility can rest upon him."
It is a noteworthy fact that the opinions of
many of the Northern democratic papers, in
regard to the inaugural, coincida with those
of tbe secessionists of the Gulf States. The
New York Herald, Pittsburgh Post, and the
New Orleans Bulletin, and Charleston Mercu
ry, all unite in the cuckoo cry of "coercion,"
while the Union journals in Maryland, Virgi
nia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North-Carolina and
Missouri, generally speak of the new Presi
dent's position in terms of approval.
Tuk Corwi Amem,me.nt. Tbe passage by
the Senate and House of -Representatives, be
fore their recent adjournment, by a two-thirds
vote, of the amendment to the Constitution
proposed by Mr. Corwin, practically disposes
of tbe most important point in the whole slave
ry agitation, so lar as. Congress is concerned,
and places it in the power of the people of the
different States, through their Legislatures, by
endorsing this provision,4 to remove the most
important ground for apprehensiou which ex
ists among the people of the South.
North Carolina. Tbe Unionists have car
ried North Carolina on the question of hold
ing a Convention. The State has gone against
a Convention by a thousand majority small,
but sufficient. Of the delegates elected to be
members of the Convention, in case it should
have been ordered by the people, two-thirds
are for tho Union.

S. B.ROH', EDITOR AXpTrOPKIETOR
SUHMAEY OF NEWS.
Afteh Ex-Secretart.IIolt. The Charles
ton Mercury walks into Mr. Holt, late Secre
tary of War under Mr. Buchanau, as follows:
Joseph Holt, who is more cordially and just
ly hated and despised than any man in the
Cabinet, has . refused to receive a box sent to
him from South Carolina. The .box when
opened at the Adams Express Company's of
fice, was found to contain "most beautiful flow
ers." No one dared to disturb these flowers,
for fear of an explosion of some subtle poison.
Holt dof;s not ili'sorvo the honor of assassina
tion. But be is a marked man. If ever he
ventures within the confines of the Confeder
ate States, he will never return to practice co
ercion again. The breed of such traitors can-,
not ba nernetuatcd anions us. 1 ;

Kccelliox in" Arizona. In the southern
portion of the Territory of JS'ew Mexico, kuown .
as Arizona, lor wnicn we patu ten minion dol
lars in bard ash,- fbd secession rebellion is in
full blast. -Certain United Statesofficials there
are busy stirring up rebellion against the Gen
eral Government, and proposing secession for
the purpose of uniting with the new Southern
Confederacy. If the General Government
cannot prevent the secession of States, it cer
tainly has the. power to enforce the laws in
and niantain; its authority over a Territory ;
and these citizens of New Mexico are furnish
ing a strong argument against the admission
of that Territory as a State, to be followed by
her immediate secession, taking our ten mil
lions along with her.
Senate Ducrssiov. A discussion occurred
on the 6th ri the Senate on the printing of
the Inaugural, which elicited some expressions
that aro"worth of note. Mr. Clingman de
nounces it as a war document, intended to
provoke a collision with the South. Mr.
Douglas camc'to the rescue, and defended the
President's position with much effect, con
tending that the Message was far more concil
iatory than he expected, and evinced a friend
ly purpose which would lead to pacification if
properly met. There was no move of evading
the duty which Mr. Lincoln" was solemnly
pledged to discharge, and in collecting tho
revenue he could not discriminate in favor of
j one port over another by an omission to obey
tne law without forswearing himself.
Plan eor Pk-enforce.ment. A plan was
organized some time ago under the direction
of Gen. Scott for sending in supplies of men
and provisions,' which can be moved at a few,
hours' notice. Two. steamers of light draft
form the proposed extiedliiou,' and a gallant
officer of the navy has volunteered to conduct
it in safety to Fort Sumter. Anderson is not
allowed to procure any more meat anil vege
tables from Charleston than will Ia,st from one
market day to another, . No stock of flour aud
other necessaries has been obtained, and in
these respects he is worse o.T now than two
months ago ; and as Governor Pickens might
countermand the present privilege at any mo
ment, his position is necessarily precarious,
and must sooner or later bo relieved.
Protest Against Recognition. Mr.Black
recently addressed a circular letter to all for
eign Governments protesting in decided terms
against tho recognition of the Confederated
States as an independent Government, and as
signing tho reason at length which induced
the remonstrance. Th protest will, of course,
be renewed, and, perhaps, by the present
Administration, so that- when M. Yancey
and his diplomatic, colleague get abroad,
tiiey may discover that recognition by the
Gr?at Powers is less easv tliau was supposed
at Montgomery. . .
Florida Postage Stamps. Several speci
mens of a pretended postage stamp from
Florida have Lcn received at Washington.
Of course they are not recognized by the De
partment, but, like letters which have been
accidently forwarded without prepa3'nient, are
charged with the usual postage before delivery".
The oflice at Pensacola continues closed, and
several others will be in the same category be
fore long. The time has come when the
mails must be cut off if they are abused.
Feeling about the Treason of Twiggs.
Letters received ort, March 8th, from a promi
nent army officer at San Antonio, state that
the conduct of Twiggs excited great indigna
tion, and while a largo majority of the troops
were iu favor of the South as they understood
the causes of difference, they were opposed
to the disruption of the Union, or the disbiod
ment of the force's. It is now certain that in
addition to bis crime of treason,Twiggs basely
deceived all the important officers around him.
Wigfall Despairs of Secession. Since
the appointment of Ke&gan of Texas as Postmaster-General
of the Seceders, Mr Wigfall
begins to despair of the Confederate States,
lie considered them a close corporation, in
which the leaders looked out sharply for num
ber one. As Davis has shown this want of
appreciation he is half inclined to secede
again. He cannot be stationary.
From the So urn. The Southern Congress
has passed an Army bill' which has been for
some time under discussion, and it is expect
ed that the Confederacy will soon have 50,000
men in the field. As that number of troops in
active service will cost at least fifty millions
oi dollars per annum, the Confederacy will find
tho question of revenue an exceedingly se
rious one.
Virginia. Hon Wm. C. Rives addressed a
large meeting on the night of the 8th, on the
subject of the Peace Conference propositions.
His remarks looked to the conciliation of the
bpvlJer States and the eventual reconstruction
of the Union. He denounces tho secession
movement in strong terms. His speech ox
cited much LTithusi'ism among the audience.
South Carolina. The Charleston Courier of
Thursday 7th, March, says that the works in
the harbor have made formidable progress
within the last ten days, under the direction
of Gon. Beauregard, in whose charge the at
tack on Fort Sumter has been placed. Three
soldiers whose terms of enlistment had ex
pired, left Fort Sumter on Wednesday.
Anderson's Pbomotion. Maj. Aaderson's
promotion to the TAD tC of Brigadier-General,
for the Twiggs vacancy, has not been deter
mined, because Secretary Cameron's absence
necessarily precludes any such action at tiiis
time. There is the best feeling toward him
by tho new Administration, and by all who
estimate his faithful service.
Visit of Army and Navy Officers. The
officers of the Army aud Navy now in Wash
ington were received by the President, and
subsequently by Mrs. Lincoln. Commodore
Shubrick was at the head of . the latter, not
withstanding the secession ot South Carolina.
He considers the disunion experiment about
played out. .
Resignation of Jcdge Campbell. It is stat
ed that Judge Campbell will resign immedi
ately after the expiration of the Supreme
Court on the 14th. He has hitherto resisted
the intense pressure Houi. Alabama, and is -ven
now for reunion on the basis ot the Con
stitution.
Southern Commissioners. Messrs. Craw
ford, Forsyth, and Roman, the Commissioners
sent by the Southern Confederacy to demand
the surrender of the United States forts, are
in . Washington, and were to have made their
demand on the President on Tuesday.
Texas. The New-Orleans papers bring in
teresting nowa from Texas. The bold stand of
Capt. Ilill at Fort Brown greatly disconcerts
the Rebels, and there socrus to be some danger
of a fight.
SECRET ABIES HOLT AND THOMPSON.
Ex-Secretary, Thompson's recent boast that
it was through his revelation of Cabinet se
crets that the Star of the West was prevented
entering Charleston', has brought out Secre
tary Holt in a letter of reply, iu which he ex
ecrates that derelict functionary as he deser
ves.1 Thopmson pretended that the sending of
reinforcemont was a concealed "trick," but
Holt-shows that the Prestdent know all about
it.-as it had been discussed in Cabinet Council.
He says, it is true that, in the hope of avoid
ing a waste of human life, an endeavor was
made to "conceal" tho expedition lrom the
hostile troops in charge oi the forts and bat
ttries in Charleston harbor; but thisendeav
or.the vigilance and .zeal of Secretary Tiomp.
son defeated.; -"Secretary Holt says s f .-"' i
"This step not merely endangered the high
est public interests, but put in imminent jeop
ardy the lives of two hundred and fifty innocenf
men, who had never wronged the Hon.. Sec
tary, and who iu proceeding to Charleston
harbor, were simply obeying the lawful com
mand of their superior officers. The armed
enemies of the Government ho was serving,
under, the solemn sanctions of Jan oath, were,
as he 'declares, 'thus put upon their .guard,'
and the frail vessel that was bearing succor to
its friends 'received a warm welcome from
booming cannon.' It could not be less than
offensive to the heart and to the intelligence
of the American people to comment gravely
n this humiliating transaction. Its true
character has alreadybeen determined by the
public "voice, and that voice, will doubtless
find its echo in the judgment of history. Ft is
well known that a persistent falsification ot
the policy and conduct of the late Adminis
tration, iu its relations to tho South, has prov
ed a potent instrumentality for inflaming the
popular mind of that distracted portion of the
country, and thus giving an ever-increasing
impetus to the revolution; and the fact, that
the telegraph and the press have bee,n under
the absolute direction of those controlling
this movement has rendered resistance to this
instrumentality impracticable. Wliateverpur
poses, therefore, were expected to be ac
complislied by the circulation of the paragraph
which has been exposed,' wilt probably be at
tained, since the antidote now offered cannot
possibly puisne the poison into its, ramifica
tions. If however, this explanation shall se
cure to me, the confidence of those true-hearted
patriots who still love the . Union better
than all the spoils and power which revolution
can promise, then I shall little regard the con
demnation of men who, for the last two months,
have denounced me throughout the South,
simply and solely because 1 have refused to
blacken my soul with perjury, by betraying
the Government of my country, while iu its
service."
Wigfall, the inevitable Wigfall, gravely in
formed the Senate-on the 7th inst, that inas
much as the views of Mr. Douglas on the Pres
ident's inaugural had been given to the conn
try, it was but right that the. country should
also have the benefit of Wigfall's opinion on
the same subject, which he then proceeded to
give in his peculiar style. The Union he said
was dead must be buried, and the only ques
tion was whether it should have a decent Pro
testant funeral, or an Irish wake. The Gov
ernment might take its choice the South
would bury the Union in any way that was de
sired. If the President did not remove the
troops lrom Forts Sumter and Pickens they
would soon be removed lor him. The seceded
States will never come back. They will nev
er consent to live' under such a Government
as that of the United States.' The United
States could have war or peace just as they
pleased. "No compromise or amendment to
the Constitution, no arrangement you may en
ter into will satisfy the' South, unless you re
cognize slaves as property, 'and protect it a3
any other species of property." Mr. Douglas
replied, reasserting his opinion expressed the
day before that the inaugural was pacific in its
tone, and that Mr. Lincoln meant peace and not
war. He thought, however, that events were
rapidly drawing to a crisis, and that tbe Fed
eral Government could not long retain Sumter
and Pickens. There was a time, he said,
when Fort Sumter could have been re-enforced.
He believed it could not be re-enforced
now without the use of at least 10,000 men by
land and sea. There were but four men to serve
each gun, and they would soon be exhausted,
and beside they had not bread and salt enough
to last for thirty days. If war was to come,
there was no time to lose. Congress should be
in session, and 200,000 men in the field. These
suggestions of Mr. Douglas are obviously of
great importance. The general tone of the
South indicates a determination to force the
United States into a war.
The King ot Dauomey at His Old Work--5,000
11 c m a n Beings Sacrificed. Another of
those horrible massacres, which are a disgrace
to humanity, has recently taken place at Da
homey. The West Ahican Herald publishes
the statements from eyo-witnesses of" the bar
baric "custom" just perpetrated at Dahomey.
From this fearful narrative we learn hat the
recent "grand custom" of Badahung, King of
Dahomey, was one of the most revolting which
had ever taken place. Several persons agree
in stating that the number' of persons slain .on
that occasion was estimated at 2,000, but a
nother correspondent gives the number at 7,
000. He says he was present by compulsion,
and that tho blood swept past him like a flood
into a large reservoir. Another gentleman,
referring to these inhuman butcheries, says:
"I assure you that it made me quite sick, and
at the same time I felt stunned. The poor
whetchesmet death with perfect indifference. "
Tht JUralJ, which gave Government notice
through its columns many mont!issince of the
intention of the King of Dahomey to hold an
unusual "grand custom," in remembrance of
the death of the late King, concludes the re
citals of the butcheries by stating that '-Consul
Foote has come out with full powers to
'treat' with the King of Dahomey, as to the
abolition of these sacrifices." A correspond
ent, who is well acquainted with Dahomey,
says : "The best way to 'treat' with the King
is to 'squelch' him. deal fairly by the natives,
and let the custom die out."
Henry Clay on Ruf.tt. According to the
report in the Benton abridgement of debates,
v. 10, p.584, Mr. Clay thus spoke., in 1S00, res
pecting a South Carolinian, now quite notori
ous: "Mr. President : 1 said nothing with res
pect to the character of Mr. Rhett, lor I might
as well name him. But if he pronounced a sen
timent attributed to him, of raising the stan
dard of disuuion and of resistance to the com
mon government, whatever he has been, if he
follows up the declaration by corresponding
overt acts, he will be a traitor and hope he
xcill meet the fate of a traitor. Great applause
in tbe galleries, with difficulty suppressed by
the Chair."J Mr. Clay resumed : "Mr. Presi
dent : I have heard with pain and regret a con
firmation of the remark I made, that the sen
timeut ot disunion is becoming famiiliar. I
hope it is confined to South Carolina. I do
not regard as my duty what the honorable Sen
ator seems to regard as his. If Kentucky to
morrow unfurls the banner of resistance, I
never will fight under that banner. I owe a
paramount allegiance to the whole Union a
subordinate ODe to my own State." ,

.Nebraska City, Feb. 13,1801.
Dear Father, and Mother : When 1. got
back from Wisconsin, some ne had told them
that I was a salaried "nigger thief ;'' so I was
taken the very uight I got back to where I had
been at work in the woods, by leu or twelve
ruffians, stripped bare, tied to a tree a rope put
around my iictk audocer a limb, and told that
I had got to "own' up" or be whipped to death.
I tried to reasoa.witli them, but they were full
of w hisky, and of course it did no good. They
cut a whip eight or ten ftel long (crotched),
and thcu set one man to pull up the rope, and
another to apply the forked gad, 'with, both
hands until it wus used up entirely, and then
gave me a chance to "own up" again. I told
them they could probably extort anything
they wished to by whipping loug enough, but
that as long as I had my senses I could tell
them nothing diilerent from what I had. They
got another gad then, and used it up in the
same way ; put a fresh hand at it, of course,
this time, whether to divide the honor or to
multiply tho pain I could not determine, prob
ably the latter. Thanks to kind human nature,
it refused to feci the inost of the huixt "fifty," as
they called it. Tbe tlnee that did the whip
ing and choking were strangers.' The others
stood off at a distance, and as it was between
8 and II o'clock in the night, I could not ro
coguizo thenu Tbe leader has been justice of
peace, and is now Postmaster at Fillmore. Mo.
They tried to frighten me with their revolvers,
and one that had hold of the rope, after they
had concluded to whip no more, stuck his re
volver up to my head, and, with great gravity
and sternness, said: "Now, G-d d-n you,
own up, or I wiUblow your d-d. brains out."
They caught hold of liim and held his pistol.
Then he swore he would break my neck, and
then jerked up on the rope, but they at length
untied me, not, however, until I had promised
to leave and stay away, which is not hard to do.
Tho charge of "Abolitionist' was a base fabri
cation, got up by one or two that were owing
me, to get rid of paying. Now I hope there
may be a civil war anything for on excuse for
me to go into Missouri, to hunt some of those
bloodhounds ; but I will bold my temper.

Focu Counterfeiters Arrested and Shot.
The Memphis Enquirer, of 2Sth Feb. says :
Wo last evening learned the particulars of tbe
arrest of four counterfeiters and the singular
administration of summary punishment on tbe
part of the people of Pocahontas, Tennessee :
An old man named S. Carper, and his two
sons, William and George Carper, together
with a son-in-law named Gruber, were recent
ly arrested on a charge of counterfeiting at the
above named place. Upon an exa'mination
being held, the testimony, including that of a
confident, who turned State'3 evidence, went
to show that they were implicated w ith a band
of horse-thieves, robbers, and counterfeiters
of gold coin, the latter being carried on in this
city. The four were bound over for trial.
They procured bail and were released, when
they threatened the lives of their prosecutors,
and the party who had turned State's evi
dence.' This open defiance of law greatly en
raged the citizens of Pocahontas, who took the
matter into their own hands, and on Tuesday
last proceeded to re-arrest and take them to
jail. The four men made a desperate effort to
escape, and tho citizens seeing no other al
ternative and desiring to rid the town of such
a set of villians, fired upon them in their effort
to escape. The old man, S. Carper, was killed
on the spot, and the other three were suppo
sed to be fatally wounded. A large number
of shots were fired. We are of the impression
that George Carper was arrested in this city
some time since, on tho charge of stealing a
trunk containing 51,C00.
U. S. Tuea sl'Uy.-i The accounts laid before
Mr. Chase on his assuming the charge of the
Treasury show that; there are funds on hand
applicablo to the current expenses of the Gov
ernment to the amount of $6,000,000. Beside
this, tho current receipts from tho customs
amount to $80,000 daily.
