Mutes . Clinttels.
By the decision of the highest tribunal
known to our law.-, Slavery exists in all
the territories of the Union; that is to
say, the right of a Southerner to take his
negroes to a territory an J liol.l them there
iu Slavery, is quite as goo J as the right
of a Northern man to go there with his
horse, or cow, or any other chattel, and
hold it as personal property. This decis
ion is based uton the notion that a Slave
is as much the property of his master as
an ox is the property of his owner. Under
the laws of Slave-holding Slater, Slavis
arc made personal property, (or rather we
should say (rental as such, fur no law could
make them so,) and it unfortunately hap
pens that the People of the Free States,
for the purposes of "Union and Harmony,"
are called upon to regard them in that
light. But, even though we concede this
right of property to the Slaveholder, still
it is not all he demands, nor all he gets.
He would have his ''right" superior to
that of his Northern brother; and Congres
sional enactments and judicial decisions
make it so. Thus, if a slave escape from
servitude, all the authorities and people
of the State and Federal governments mav
at once be called upon to see that he be
caught and returned to his master; and
the individual who chooses to obey the
dictates of his conscience, rather than this
call, subjects himself to a very heavy pen
alty. But it is quite different where a
horse or other such chattel runs away from
its owner. In such case the owner has
the privilege of one of three things catch
him himself, pay somebody else to catch
him, or lose him ! Verily, there Is a great
difference between Southern chattels and
Northern chattel.
A Word About Cambria.
So far a3 territorial extent is concerned,
Cambria is amongst the smallest counties
in the State ; and in point of Agriculture
her position is necessarily in the back
ground. We make this last remark, not
because she docs not contain within her
limits many well-to-do farmers, but because
her soil Ls not, as a general thing, so well
adapted to Agricultural pursuits as that of
many of her sister counties. This, it must
be confessed, is a drawback; but while we
confess the fact, it is not a little gratify
ing to every true '-frosty son of thunder''
to know that it is more than compensated
for iu many other advantages which we
possess. Wc do not believe there is a
county in Pennsylvania, taking territorial
area into consideration, that can boast of
more substantial wealth than Cambria.
Her mineral and other resources are in
calculable. While she may be and is un
able to send any considerable quantity of
the agricultural products of her soil to
other markets, she has, we think, suffi
cient land under cultivation to feed her
citizens and all the stock "which they have
occasion to raise and keep. Her deep and
impenetrable forests will furnish enough
of lumber to build cities on her own soil
and elsewhere, aud give to her own and
other mechanics material to work upon for
ages.- Her beds of coal and iron-ore, we
might say, are inexhaustible. She has
coal enough to supply half the demand of
the whole country, and twenty furnaces
would not exhaust her iron-ore in a thous
and years. More than these, she has vast
deposits of other valuable minerals, the
whole going to show that her resources
are abundant to secure the future prosper
ity of her citizens.
Assuming all this to be true, r.nd we
think it will not be doubted, the natural
conclusion is, that these resources should
be developed. But how is this to be done 't
We answer, by a Protective Takiff.
Nothing is requited to turn our iuiuienso
wealth to good advantage, but proper tn
couvugeuicnt, and adequate protection to
Home IsMsiRY. Ijvt us have n. Tail:,
which will enable our own American citi
zens to compete withand undersell i'urore
ani, in the manufacture and vending of iron,
zinc, paint, and many othei articles which
are now to fntly imported to this coun
try. Lotus, we say, have such a Tariff
a Tariff which will protect our own people
against the paujtr labor of Great Britain
and soon will our country be humming
with furnaces, relling-milLi, and other
manufacturing establishments. How stand
the good people of Cambria upon this sub
ject ? Hitherto they have generally given
large Lceo-Foeo majorities, thu-; encour
aging and supporting the ruinous Free
Trade) Party, and practically opposing the
development of the resources of their own
county. ViU they do so longer . Judg
ing from the votes recorded at the two
last elections, we have much belter to hope
for. But we leave lsCO to answer the
question.
By the call cf the Chairman of the
People's Statu Executive Committee which
we publish iu another column, it will be
seen that our next State Convention will
be held at llarrisburgh, on Wednesday,
the 2JA. day of February, 1SG9. Ve no
tice that our friends, in .several of our
sis-r counties, are already taking steps
towards the election of their Seuatoriai
and Representative .Delegates. The peo
ple of Cambria we doubt not will move
iu the mutter ere long, aud we hope their
action will be characterized by harmony
and good feeling, and calculated to pro
mote the welbbcbrg of a most righteous
cau.:e.
Jtiieiestiiig- ft. use.
We la st week noticed that the rare cae
ot controversy between the father and
mother ot an illegitimate child for the
po.ssos.-iou of its person, had been before
the Court of Common Fleas of our county,
aud that the Court had awarded that the
child should remain in the po-- e. "wu ot
the lather. The following is the opinion
of the Court in the case, as delivered bv
his Honor, Judge Tay Loll : IL.i.l. R,'j.
"We have here for decision a somewhat
singular, and a very uncommon Contest,
between the mother and the putative
father of an illegitimate child, respecting
the custody and guardianship of its per
son. The child, named "Isadora Blanche,"
is about S months old. No-nev Snack,
the mother, who voluntarily parted with
it when it was but a day or two oil, now
claims it again ; and John Benny, the re
spondent, who in obedience to tho com
mand of the writ, has it here before us,
resists tlie claim on the twofold ground
that he has the child under an act cf
adoption, -with the consent and by the
agreement of Nancy, arid further, that she
is totally unlit to have charge f it.
In the case of Ann Cat ley, Lord Mans
field stated the law to be that tho Const
is bound to set infants free from uny im
proper restraint, but they are not bound
to deliver them to anybody, or give them
any privilege. '-These," says he, '''must
be left to tlieir iU r,ti-ii , according to the
circumstances that shall appear before
them;" ." Cur. 1 loo. There, in tho ex
ercise of discretion, the Court re fu-ed to
deliver the infant to cither the father or
the mother. This has also been held to
be the law, and it has been so applied, in
Pennsylvania, 1 Brown, 11 1. If this is
so with regard to the rights of the parents
of legitimate children," tlie claim of tlie
mother of an illegitimate- child must be
subject to the same discretion. In neither
case does there exist any right in the
father or mother, which the Court is
bound to enforce against their convictions
of what may, in w.mo crimes at least, be de
manded for the well-being of tho child.
It is true a a general rule, the moth
er of an illegitimate child is entitled to its
custody. She is bound to support it;
but her consent to his adoption of it, may
transfer this obligation to the putative
father. "The father of a bastard child,"
says Chancellor Kent, '-is liable upon his
implied contract, for its necessary main
tenance, without any compulsory order
being made upon him, provided lie has
adopted the child as his own, and acquies
ced in any particular disposition of it."
"The adoption," he adds, '-must bo volun
tary, and with the consent of the mother "
He may therefore, by adopting it with her
consent, become its adopted father, with
as it would seem to follow, the rights of a'
lather over its person. "
In this cae, Nancy declares upon oath,
in her petition, and Benny declares upon
oath in his answer and return to the writ,
that he is thr ! , oftir J,t77; and.tssNancv
and Benny ought to know, the uual un
certainty of that point which furnishes
one reason for superior legal rights in the
mother, is removed, at least as lar as tlie
best available evidence can remove it.
And, it is distinctly proven by two wit
nesses, that two days alter its 'birth, the
putative lather, not merely with the con
tent of the luotLer, but upon au cxpies
agreement with her, tot.!: it, r.nd has duce
during its luost tender dayf, nur-ed and
nutuivd it. This, in addition to the inornt
obligation which the lather of every bas
tard incurs the moment of its biith, casts
ujou him the h;jd obligation of a father,
and rtiuovcs juiother rea-ou ed' superior
right iu the mother to the guardianship
of its pcicn. It may be doubted then,
perhaps, w briber iu this iu.-tauee, the
i-'jul rights of the mother rise much, if
any, superior to those of the putative
father.
But, irrespective of the question of le
gal right, u between them, the Court as
we have seen, possesses a controlling dis
cretionary power, to give it to either, or
withhold it from both. And give to a stran
ger even if it were their legitimate child,
the guardianship cf its person, if convinced
that the well being of the child, demands
the exercise of that discretion. And to
this inquiry we direct oar attention.
Pcrcuy, actuated doubt'oss by the same
motive, whether it was paron tal attach u.cut,
or a soiii.0 of moral obligation, or both.,
whi-jh rronipted him to take tlie child at
its birth, still clings to it, and brings it
before us in a manner which satisfies us
that it is well and kindly nursed and eared
for by hit:', lie is proven toboaober and
iudu-trious, kind to hij children, and cf
ability to iupp.jft thorn. On the other
hand, w'ruio a change might noar in itself
endanger tht: chihis u.aith, the Lck ot

IO.- The old woman of the Democrat k
S,nt;,icl exhibits a little Morcdecay, as usual
this week. This, of course, was to be expec
ted. Rut there is now one most alarming
symptom about her, one indeed which we did
not think sha would manifest fr a few weeks
yet, at least. She is now dabbling in Ilistorv
aud in b.erho t number inflicts upon her friend's'
one mortal column aud a quarter of the His
tory of an old book. We humbly trust the
is now over this; Historical fit, and that she
may never have another, as Damphool assures
us that two Historical tits are always followed
by at least oue Hysterical fit. Aud should
her case assume this latter phase, we would
at oucc-be compelled to give the old lady up
ns entirely bcyvrud the reach of our uurivulloU
Ruters.
We had the pleasure of meeting a few
evenings since at the American House in
this city, Mr. Bavid Y apple and family,
from Erie county, Pennsylvania, who were
on their way to visit some relations, about
tifty miles south of Pekin. From them
we'gather some interesting facts relating
to a burning well accidentally discovered
a short distance from Bo3'd's Grove, Bu
rcaxi county. It appear! tiiat, on the prem
ises of a farmer whose name our informant
had forgotten, and within a few feet of his
house, which was a fine two-story dwelling
a well had been previously dug thirty-seven
feet in depth, and which had become
entirely dry. From the bottom of it the
proprietor had commenced boring for wa
ter, and the operator had at this time
reached a still further distance of forty
feet when he struck a spring that commen
ced rapidly flowing; so great was the dis
charge that, frightened from bis work, he
lied, leaving the augur in the hole.
On reaching the surface, he called for a
little girl to light a candle for the purpose
of letting down in the well, when, as she
opened the door of the house with it in
her hand, the atmosphere around seemed
to take fire, but after one fluih the blaze
was conlined to tlie vicinity of the well,
reaching to the heighth of lift eon feet aud
upwards. The little girl was badly burned
upon tue arm and other parts of the body:
the man who had escaped froiu the Weil
had one side of his face completely blis
tered, while another workman, making
the only three who were pic-cut, was also
considerably injured by the sudden lia.-h.
The neighborhood was of course soon
aroused, and although hundreds visited
the spot, many working night and day,
it was not until Friday morning that the
iiaines Were completely extinguished.
During this time, a piazza attached to the
house was iht removed, next a complect
wing in order to save the main building,
as iu every change of the wind the flames
were driven iu that direction with fcuch
loiee ;es even to char the woodwork.
'dhe well w.s again tilled up with earth,
but to htile avail as regards a final extin
guishment, as Mr. Yuppie, when he vis
ited the spot ou Friday morning, describes
tiie liaiues as breaking through the loose
earth ot the well like rlashes of gunpow
der running along tho ground. "When he
left, the hie upon the surface appeared to
be smothered, which had fin ally been ac
complished by the- crowd beating upon it
with Mat boards. "
Such occurrences were formerly quite
fre p.ient in the vicinity of the Mu-kii.gum
river and other portions of Ohio, and ..ih
er western States, but tho iinding id' such
a reservoir of inllammable gas iu this sec
tion ot liiitiois is somewhat remarkable.
