Hall vs. Durbin.
Last week we nailed to our mast-head
the name of L. W. Hall, the People's
Candidate for Senator in the district com
posed of Clearfield, Blair and Cambria,
and informed our readers that we had
joined hands with our Cambria Conferees
in supporting him at the ballot-box, and
in laboring for his election. This week
we do something more ; we ask our read
ers to vote for him.
Although Mr. Hall was not by any
means our choice for the nomination, pre
ferring as we did a Cambria County man ,
yet it must be admitted, leaving locality
out of the question, that there is not in
the District a man better fpralified to- dis
charge the duties of the office for which
lie has. been nominated. Mr. Hall w a
lawyer by profession, and although quite
a young man, has already earned for him
self a reputation among his professional
brethren. Moreover, he . is a self-made
man ; a man fresh from the ranks of the
People ; a man who has literally fought
his way to the position lie now occupies ;
I.-- : 1 : c l v: ip -.
i ui.iu n uj uiu iucuuuii lumaeil Wltn no
clique or faction ; a man who has never
before been a candidate for office ; and a
man who, if elected, as we doubt not he
will be, will have "no friends to reward
r enemies to punish."
We urge- not the claims of 3Ir. Hall
upon the People of this Senatorial Dis
trict, merely upon the grouud of his per
sonal popularity. Nor do wc urge his
claims because he is better qualified, in a
general point of view, to discharge the
duties of the office, than his opponent,
Amrastin Durbin. We would look high
er than this. There- are issues at stake
in the present canvass which cannot be
overlooked, no matter how much we could
desire to favor certain localities, or person
al friends. There arc principles involved,
ia tb.e Senatorial campaign which should
ut weigh every other consideration. There
arc principles prounulged by bodies whose
rights to do so We do not question, and if
it be possible, we should seek to dissemi
nate those principles, and apply them to
the practical working of our government.
We would have no intervention of the
Federal Executive to defeat the expressed
will of the People. We would have no
Congressional Slave Code for the Terri
tories of the United States. We would
have no extension of Slavery. We would
have no revival of the Slave Trade. Nor
would wc have the introduction of foreign
criminals to the shores of America.
These arc some things that we would not
have. There are some things that we
would have. We would have protection
to American industry. We would have
economy in the expenditures of our State
and National 3 overnmcnts. We would
have land for the landless ; and we would
have the purity of the ballot-box preserv
ed and maintained at all hazards. How,
then, are we to prevent those things which
wc do not want, and secure those things
which we do want ? Can we do so by
supporting Augustine Durbin, on the
second Tuesday of October ? Surely not. i
Wc may do so by supporting Louis W.
Hall, the People's Candidate. Then
friends, wherever your are in this Sena
torial Distriot, pull off your coats, roll up
your sleeves, and go to work for the Prin
ciples of our Party. Elect L. W. Hall, and
he will maintain, defend and support your
principles. And this is more than his
opponent would do.

Insurance Against Fire.
There is a subject to which we wish to
call the especial attention of every reader
of The Albijhanian, and it is the subject
of Insurance. Amongst all the various
institutions of the day, it looms up as one
of the most important and useful. Modern
times have furnished to mankind a variety
of inventions and means for improving
their condition, but certainly none of
them can better or more worthily excite
our admiration or gratitude than the
system of Insurance. It has become a
part of our civilization, and gives unmis
takable evidence of the wise policy and
constantly progressive spirit of our people.
We live in an age of progress, and Insu
rance is one of its concomitants. It is not
a new system, comparatively speaking, but
it is one which has recently been developed
and properly brought before the people.
The benign influence which the system
of Insurance exerts upon our present so
cial organization, should commend it to
the patronage of every property-owner in
the land, and to the encouragement of
every philanthropist, whether an owner
of property or not. There live but few
individuals who would care to part with
property, without some fitting equivalent
either in present or in prospect. There
are few, no matter how rich in this world's
goods they may be, who have property
that they feel able to lose, even though
that property be trifling and of little val
ue. And yet, how often do we find it
that many who arc enjoying the comforts
of a hard-earned home many who are
fast pressing onward to independence, are
nearly if not entirely ruined by their neg
lect to insure. The earnings of a whole
life may be swept away by a single fire,
and the party neglecting to indemnify
himself against such a calamity be plunged
into a state .of hopeless destitution.
Thrown upon the cold charities of the
world, his youth and energy gone, he
perhaps seeks consolation from the intox
icating bowl, and drags out a miserable
existence, rendered still more so by the
consciousness of his own folly and neglect.
1 erhaps, too, he may have a family. If
sor how bitterly must he realize the truth
of the saying, "If a man provide not for
his own household, he hath denied the
faith, and is worse than an infidel." What
a change is thus wrought in the social
position of that household ! Home and
its endearments gone, a husband and fath
er unable to provide for their necessities,
the mother unfitted to earn a livelihood,
the children without education and all
without hope they too are cast upon the
cold charities of the world they too are
made to feel the bitter pangs of penury
1 a rri -.
anu want. j.nis is a 6ad picture trulv
but not overdrawn. Its counterpart might
readily be produced ; but comparisons are
odious.
Against reverses like these, Insurance
furnishes adequate means of protection.
It has been well said, that "a stitch in
time saves nine," and nowhere does the
maxim better apply than to insurance upon
property, liut a small pittance from your
incomo is required to secure yourself
against the probable loss of your house or
your barn. If they are aofc destroyed by
the destructive element, you will not feel
the amount you have expended for their
safety. If they should be destroyed, you
have the certainty of being compensated
for your loss. Do not tell us that you are
unable to insure your property. The very
fact that you own one would contradict
your statement. Do nbt tell us you are
unwitting to insure. It would be foolish.
If you own property, you ought to know
how to take care of it. Be not afraid of
an occasional assessment. You freely pay
taxes to Government, in return for its pro
tection to you as a citizen. You should
not be loth then to pay taxes to an insu
rance company for the protection of your
property. Take care of your interests.
If you have a building, insure it, whether
it be a pig-pen or a palace. . .

Bgy Stephen Lloyd, Esq., an old and
much respected citizen of this place, has
handed us the following for publication.
It refutes, in very few words, the idea
that Congress has no power to prohibit
the extension of Slavery into the free ter
ritory of the United States. - Read it care
fully : ' - "
To Tuk EniTon op The Alleghaxian :
Judge Douglas is perfectly sound in that there
was an end put to the "slave trade, agreea
bly to the compromise after A. D. 1808. But
when he comes to popular sovereignty, he
seems to think that Congress has no right to
prohibit the extension of Slavery Into Territo
ries. If so, I would like to know what is
meant by this clause in the Constitution :
"Congress shall have powef to dispose of and
make all needful rules and regulations respec
ting the Territories."
" I see in the Mountaineer of last week that
"the Democrats are everywhere asserting the
doctrine of Territorial popular sovereignty."
I would advise those Democrats to employ
Judge Douglas to erase the above clause out
of the Constitution, the same way that he got
the Missouri Compromise repealed. For what
is the use of it, if politicians can twist and
untwist it as they please?

tion. AFFAIRS IX ITALY.
Sjx'eth of tltc King of Sardinia on Italian
Affairs.
The deputation appointed to present to
the King of Sardinia the medal which has
been struck by a private society, in com
memoration of the words pronounced by
his Majesty on his opening the session of
the l'ledmontese Parliament on the 10th
of January last, had the pleasure of an au
dience on the 20th. Count Mamiaua,
President of the Committee reminded his
Majesty of the memorable words, " We are
not insensible to the cry of grief which
we hear from every part of Italy." His
Majesty replied as follows:
" I thankyou for your beautiful present,
Ever since it has been in my power 1
have consecrated my efforts to the great
national cause. I have it constantly be
fore my mind; I live for it, and am ready
to die for it. Difficulties and misfortunes
arise which must be surmounted, and they
certainly will, for I have witnessed the
courage and discipline of which the Ital
ians are capable. Under present circum
stances it has been impossible to go further,
as I might have wished. In the midst of
past sorrows I have found great consolation
in seeing that the Italians have understood
me, aud have not entertained a doubt con
cerning mc. The masses, blinded by ex
cessive enthusiasm, are sometimes led
astray. I might have pardoned such false
steps, but I repeat I have nothing to re
proach them with. It seems incredible
that some countries that are not unfavora
ble to us do not or will not believe that
there is nothing obscure or insiduous in
my policy. Frankness and straightfor
wardness are its companions perhaps it
is the going straight to the object in view
that creates displeasure. The Italian ques
tion is very clear, and it is n6 doubt on
that account that they will not understand
it. The union, perfect order and wisdom
which the people of Tuscany, the Duchies
and the Komagna now display are admi
rable. I certainly did not think that It
aly was incapable of acting so, still the
spectacle of .such an attitude affords me
great pleasure. Have, therefore, great
faith in me, gentlemen, and be assured
that now, as well as in future, I shall do
everything in my power to promote the
welfare of Italy."

Washington, Sept. 11. The 1W Of

very earnest letter to Mr Johnson, the
contractor for carrying the California mails
from both New York and New Orleans,
asking immediate report as to his prepa
rations or means for fulfilling his con
tracts. There is necessity for this, since
that the New Orleans mail for California
must be brought to New York before the
fifth of October, if means be not provided
for carrying out the contract for the New
Orleans branch of the service. A gentle
man of this city has twice stated at the
department that the contract would be ex
ecuted, but no recent letter upou the point
to the responsible- contractor has beta
answered, nor has he come to Washington,
as requested ; nor could an agent of the
department learn anything at New York
as to the prospects of fulfilment of tht
contract.
