CLEARFIELD, PA., MARCH 29, 1871.
Conne .ticuf. holds her State election on
the 3d of April Rhode Island on the 5th.
Vinnie Ream a said to have commenced
a new work, entitled "Sadness." It will
represent Weston inspecting the returns for
Governor of New Hampshire.
lion. Ellis Lewis, ex-Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of this State, died at
his residence, West Philadelphia, on Sun
day last, iu the 73d year of His age.
The recent Methodist Conference at Wil
Arlington unanimously denounced the prac
tice of holding "gift enterprises," and the
other forms of gambling indulged in at
church fairs.
Weston, the Democratic candidate for
Governor of New Hampshire, expected to
walk right into the Gnbernatorial chair;
but, like Weston, the walkist, in several of
his pedestrian undertakings, he foil a little
short.
A Democrat in Quiwcy, 11!., who heard
the tumultous rejoicing of hisbrethren over
their unexpected victory, at last turned ap
pealingly to one of them and asked,
"Where is New Hampshire, anyhow?"
Ahem!
Governor English, of Connecticut, has
issued a proclamation appointing the 7th
day of April as a day ff fasting and prayer.
Th's will be four days after the election, and
e'.ther the Democrats or Republicans, which,
ia not definitely settled, will be called upon
to observe it with especial unction.
The New York Journal of Commerce,
(free trade) innocently or unintentionally
confesses that "nine tenths of the money
subscribed to sustain the New York Frev
Trade League comes from foreigners."
These are the men most interested in break
ing down the "monopolies" of American
labor and capital.
We cannot see why it is that Democratic
journals and Congressmen are opposed so
bitterly to any investigation being made of
the outrages in the South, if they are caus
ed entirely by Republicans. If they be
lieve what they say, they should certainly
lend all the ail in their power to hare just
punishment meted out to those who are
guilty of such villainous deeds. Republi
cans court investigation. Democrats op
pose it. What is the inference?
The free-traders protest against cheapen
ing the food of the laboring man; acainst
the removal of the duties on tea and coffee,
his stimulants and his chief food. If these
two articles were the product of the manu
facturers of England and the New York
importers were the sole agents lor their
sale in this country, their attitude would be
different. We should like to see the Sen
ate repeal the dutieon tea and coffee, and
allow those on coal and salt to stand.
The only members of the Pennsylvania
delegation in Congress who voted to abolish
the duty on coal were four Democrats,
Messrs. Acker, Haldeman. Meyers and
Storm. Not a single Republican member
from this Commonwealth but stood up man
fully for the interests of his constituents and
opposed this free-trade meagre. Time
was when Pennsylvania was considered prac
tically a unit on this subject of prelection ;
when, whatever issues divided parlies in the
rest of the country, both parties in this
State contended stoutly for the American
principle. Now, however, all the promi
nent leaders of the Democratic party, au 1
every Democratic japer in the State, is
more or less openly in favor of free-trade.
The laboring men should bear these facts in
mini .
The New York Sun. urges the Democratic
party to nominate Hon. Charles Simmer as
their candidate at the next Presidential
eleetion, and gives the assurance hat he
"would carry all the New England States,
all the Southern .eta tes, and nearly all the
remaining States." It cannot conceive of
any State that would vote against him. This
is one of the bugest jokes of the season.
But why should the Democracy not nomi
nate him ? They have at least bad their
eyes opened lo see his great worth. They
have been brought to acknowledge his su
perior statesmanship qualifications, and the
purity and integrity of his political life. He
was sent to the Senate "by the Democrats,"
why should they not take him out in this
compiimpntary way? What will Mr. Sum
ner say to the proposition?
The Greensburg limit says : "Mr. Bil
lingfelt. Republican, and all the Democratic
Senators in our State Legislature, succeeded
Thursday afternoon, March 1 Oih, between
times, while making a free use of their
white hfimlLprchipfs in lrvJn to simrr.,;.
- - - -j m
the refuse flow of tears, (crocodile) in pass
ing a resolution of extreme sympathy for
Mr. Sumner, and of regret at his removal
from the Committed on Foreign Relations.
We have for fivtne tima past noticed that
one of the means of determining what was
right in polities, was to watch and see what
the Democracy was opposed to. Where the
question had nothing in it to be determined
by moral rules, this was a sure criterion.
Those who have had any doubt as to the
propriety or policy of displacing Mr. Sum
ner, mu-t have no difficulty now, since the
D moeraey have espoused hie cause, and of
fered thir rrgrefs and sympathies."
What they mean to Do. The Augusta
(Georgia) Cltrouicle (Democrat) invites the
Northern Democracy to a very idee feJst.
The election of a Democratic President in
1872 it seems to think is foregone conclu- j
sion, and to the query what the Democracy
will do, once again in power, itsays: "How
easy it will be to call a convention of States,
and how easy it will be for such a constitu
tional convention to undo every result of
the war." Magnificent suggestion! But
somebody hint9 that the Senate and the
Supreme Court are in the way. "These,
too," it exclaims, "can be easily got rid f
by the convention." Better yet ! "Noth
ing," eays our enthusiastic Democratic con
temporary, "is irreversible which the mon
grels have done to our Federal system unless
the South gives up," and much more of the
same sort. We think the people will avoid
the expense of a convention by electing a
good Republican in 1 S72.
TRorBT.n is tiie Camp. Another fire
brand has been thrown into the Democratic
camp 19 disturb the discussiun of the next
Presidency. The Cincinnati Inquirer pro
tests against the language of the Albany
Argus, which intimated that the party was
sacrificed to a few malcontents in the West,
who quarreled over the candidates and de
feated the choice of the people. The In
quirer says that the influence exerted in
New York by a few wealthy men, large
bondholders, in tho Democratic organiza
tion, has been most disastrous in the West
ern States, and has cost the party hundreds
of thousands of votes. And it insists that
the party must have, in 1372, a thorough
Democratic platform, at least as strong and
radical as that of 1SB8, and candidates who
can be relied upon to carry it out if they
are elected. With anything short of this,
in cither respect, it declares that the party
is defeated in advance.
Collector of the Port. The nomina
tion of Col. John W. Forney as Collector of
the Port of Philadelphia has been confirmed
by the Senate. His appointment, it is tho't
will be generally satisfactory to the Repub
licans and merchants of all shades of poli
tics in that city. He n capable of making
an efficient officer, and no doubt he will.
Perhaps a better selection for the place could
not have been made by the President, and
besides it is believed that the services he
rendered the party entitled him to tome
mark of Executive favor. In a political as
well as financial view the office is important,
and in the discharge of its duties the in
cumbent, to give satisfaction in both partie
nlars, will find use for all his faculties and
all the knowledge of .human nature he has
g'eaned in a long and somewhat eventful
political and newspaporial career.
Campaign of 1S72. The New York Tri
bune truthfully remarks that the Presiden
tial campaign of 1S72 will be "the most in
furiated contest" we have ewr had, because,
owing to tend existing in the Republican
ranks, the opposition will attempt seriously
to carry for the Democratic nominees every
State except Maine, Massachusetts, Ver
mont, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Min
nesota and Iowa, while the Republicans will
struggle to carry every one of the States,
not excepting Delaware, Maryland and Ken
tucky. In view of the situation, it is urged
that the Republicans of every State begin
at once to prepare for the struggle by sev
erally inducing every one they cati influence
"to lake and read some Republican news
paper." This isgool advice and will be
heeded by eveiy live Republican.
IToi.ii ! The Lancaster Examiner says
the Republican pretis have pretty generally
had their say cn the Grant Sumner difficul
ty, and all sides can afford to hold back, and
turn their attention to the common enemy.
We, therefore, ca!l on ail sides to stop. Let
u? have peace again, as no good can come
to a cause which has preserved and sj ved ns
as a nation, by wranglii g over a thing done,
no matter how impolitic or wrong. It is
too late cow to justify or condemn what is
an accomplished fact. Let it stand as a
warning in our path, for the future for
milder and more conciliatory councils and
action. Nothing but injury and evil can
result bj the eoutinuancc of a diussion on
a circumstance which all true Republicans
cannot but regret and deplore.
A weekly organ of the Tammany Democ
racy ridicules the idea of the doctrine of
Stales Rights being 'a dead issue." It
says it must come up for Democratic legis
lation. "It must inevitably come up. It
has been coming up for five years, only to
be stamped out by Radical selfishness and
lack of true statesmanship." This is
strong language and indicates very clearly
the policy of the Democratic party, if Re
publicans should see fit to surrender the con
trol of national affairs, and place it in its
hands.
The Democratic Platform. The New
York World, the speaking trumpet of the
party, says: li The Democratic party is the
Free Trad party.'" The Augusta (Ga.)
Chronicle, a Southern organ of the pr.rty,
says boldly : "The election in New Hamp
shire means the election of a Democratic
President and Congress, a convention of the
States to recti, the Constitution and to un
do every result of the tear." Here we have
two planks of the Democratic platform
for 1 S72.

jou. Colonel, for the frank confession, for
we presume you speak from personal knowl

he dues not propose to press action on the
San Domingo question. The report of the

New Eeign of Terror in Paris.
Mob power, anarchy and revolution, are
once more rampant in Paris. On the 19th
the National Guards Committee, seized the
Departments of the Interiorand Justice.and
occupied the Prefecture of Police, and bar
ricades were erected in various parts of the
city. Gens. Vinoy, Thomas and Lecompte,
were murdered by the troops. The mem
bers of the 1 biers government fled to Ver
sailles,
The situation was unchanged on the 20th.
The National Guards are weli armed, and
stationed in various parts of the city. An
election was ordered by the Central Repub
lican Committee.
On the 21st fie-h barricades were erected.
I The Nationals occupied Forts D'Issy, Van-
veres and Bicatre, and the police Commis
sioners were arrested. The Central Com
mittee issued a proclamation assuring the
people of the adoption of measures in ac
cordance with their wishes, and providing
for the election of a Municipal Council by
the citizens. Gen. Chanzy, on his arrival
in the city, was so maltreated by the mob
that he was sent to the hospital. His sister
was also maltreated. It is said that the in
surgents on several occasions fired into each
other, but no particulars as to loss of life
are given. Many persons are reported as
having been shot on Sunday without being
tried. The National Assembly at Versailles
denounced the insurrection in Paris, and
proposed to take immediate measures to re
store peace. The insurrectionists, however,
refuse to recognize the Assembly as a legiti
mate body.
On the 22d proclamations and decrees is
sued by the insurgents were circulated, as
suring the people of their intentions to pre
serve Paris- and France intact ; and from
treason and cowardice, and that they will
respect the conditions of peace. Advices
state that the Thiers government at V er
saillcs is growin? stronger every hour, in
the Provinces. Humiliating as it may be,
if the Provinces do not rally to the support
of Thiers, he must ask the return and as
sistance of the Prussian troops. Orders
have already been issued to suspend further
movements in the Prussian army. The
payment of the indemnity i- not yet begun,
and Prussia will not suffer the Provincial
Government to be overthrown until that is
arranged.
The Tribune says : An early and possi
bly terrible conflict between loyal and insur
gent citizens of Paris is foreshadowed in the
latest news. Battaliions of the National
Guards claiming to be loyal to the govern
ment and having confidence in their officers
have expelled the insurgent Nationals from
various position? in the city, and have oc
cupied important streets leading to the
Place Vendome and other strongholds of
the rebels. The lines of the two opposing
forces, becoming well defined, are nearing
each other, and the preparations for fight
are otherwise concluding. The insurgents
in the Place Vendome have received re-enforcements
in men and cannon, but the of
ficers have little control over the men, and
their orgatiization is defective. The insur
gents have already dismissed one of their
principal officers, and areclcar!y disappoint
ed with others. The Mobiles who still re
main in the city have demanded arms to
fight the insurgents; and the troops of the
regular army, disarmed on the surrender of
the capital to the Germans, have been in
corporated into the Loyal National Guards.
The Assembly has cc'Ied upon each depart
ment for one banallion or the defense of
the Government, thus largely adding to the
loyal force at Versailles. Nevertheless the
conciliatory policy of M. Thiers has not
been abandoned, and he evinces no dispo
sition to precipitate a conflict. In this he
shows the sagacity often before displayed in
his long public career. The insurgents
arc at a halt, and rebellion can no more af
ford to stand still than to turn back. That
of Mnntmartre has conquered all of Paris it
can hope to control, and only bloody affrays,
precipitated by the loyal Guards .or by un
armed citizens, can keep them active, or
ganized, and urited. Delay is their worst
enemy, for it gives occasion for disaffection
and demoralization to display themselves.
M. Thiers doubtless means to let them alone
as long as he can do so with honor aud safety;
and the conflict which now seems imminent
may through this wise caution be pre
vented. Such is the situation in Paris and France.
What the end will be remains to be seen.
The Tribune says : "The President has
issued a proclamation warning the South
Carolina Ku Klux to deswt from their out
rages and return to their homes within twen
ty days. The proclamation is the usual
preliminary to the sending of an army to
the rebellious district, and conveys informa
tion to that effect. Prompt action will cer
tainly follow at the end of the specified time
if Gov. Scott does not then report the State
as tranquilized. It is well known that troops
are already on their way to South Carolina,
and more will be sent if those en route seem
unable to disperse the Ku-Klux. The great
difficulty, of course, will be to find this
guerrilla-like enemy, the secrecy of the or
ganization being the chief security of its
members ; and lor this very reason Congress
should lose no time in giving to the United
States Courts the power which will enable
them to reach where the army cannot."

The Nova Scotians have always had a

proposing that. England shall cede the prov

which has long exerted a powerf ul influence

a proviso making it obligatory on the United
States to admit the province with all the
rights and duties of a State of the Arneri
can Union, and upon sach other term", fi
nancial and otherwise, as may be agreed
upon by the joint high commission. This
liberal proposition strikes us favorably. It
affords a solution in whole of the free coal
question, and, in part of the fisheries dis
pute. Besides, Nova Scotia is an enterpri
sing and growing conntry. with many natu
ral advantages, which under our popular
government would soon make of it a mighty

The delivery of a speech by the Emperor

great wars in Europe are productive of
marvelous lesults. It is not strange that
the religiously inclined old Emperor shed
tears as he found himself standing in the
place of one of the most renowned warriors
and mighty Emperors of history.
