The Republicans, says the State Jour
nal, believe in letting slavery stay where
it 13, and take care of itself. The
Democrats believe in agitating for its
permanence, and gratifying all its de
mands for extension. If there is anv
ono thing in our political history clearer
than another, it is that .slavery has always
been aggressive, while freedom has always
stood on the defensive. The Democratic
party has always joined the slave interest
in pushing its claims to new privileges.
This is too familiar a fact to be denied ;
and it places the responsibility of the eter
nal discussion of the "negro question" at
once and forever on the shoulders where
it belongs. The demand that slave labor
shall be spread over territories now free
assertedby the Democracy, necessitated, in
cheer selt-defence, the existence and the
action of the Republican party. If free
labor was to hold its own, if our white in
dustrial classes were not to be driven to
the wall by the black, then it is plain to
any man who can reaion, that resistance
to the extension of slavery was a logical
necessity.
The Republican party is emphatically
and truly the party of the white man.
"While the Democracy seeks to let slavery
into all places where it is not, thus degra
ding white labor, their opponents seek to
Bare every foot of territorial soil for the
white man. They do not desire to see
the fair domains which open their rich
fields to human culture, cursed by the
black foot of the slave. They leave
to the Democracy the championship of
the idea that slavery and freedom hare
equal rights and are equally indifferent.
They honestly and avowedly prefer free
dom ; prefer it because they have seen its
greater blessings, and proved its superior
value. So far as the question of freedom
vtnus slavery enters into the domain of
law, so far as they have constitutional con
trol over its extension or restriction, they
do not hesitate to throw their weight in
the scale of freedom. Beyond this, they
seek not to go. Believing in the benefits
of white labor, they strenuously oppose
every course of policy which looks to the
colonizing of the territories wi4h negro
labor.
The Democratic party is never done
with the negro. They fetch him forward
at every convention, and make him 'Show
his pace.-" from every "stump. They fill
their party organs with his claims (or
rather with the claims of his owner,) and
seek to browbeat the country into the be
lief that he has the right to be carried
everywhere. While their opponents are
fcusied with the endeavor to sustain the
fighU of white men and white labor, the
Democratic party have the hypocracy to
eall them " Black Republicans," and
-ncgrophilists." The Democracy have a
permanent "lien" on the negro question.
The negro is the staple of their speeches,
the essence of their articles, and almost
their whole stock iu trade. They use him
as
"Their grace 'fore meat
Their talk at table, and their talk at eud."
Uejs the burden of their most audacious
charges, the subject of their most reckless
falsehoods, the butt of their most contemp
tible wit, and the engine of their most
shameful and unscrupulous party war
fare. Having used him thus dishonestly,
to vilify those whoso policy consists in let
ting hira alone, they fling him, like a
eucked orange, at their feet, and clamor
about "agitation" and "abolitionirm '"
Such brazen impudence, properly inves
ted, would make the fortune of ..ny bcll
tc'iindrr in the coiu'wunlhr.
Washington Monument.
An effort has been started at Washing
ton for the purpose of raising funds to
complete the monument in course of
erection there to the father of his coun
try. It consists in an appeal to the people
to contribute funds for that purpose thro'
the postmasters of their respective towns.
About 1,000 postmasters have boxes for
the purpose placed in their offices, and
have raised within the past four months
more than 82,000. There are nearly
28,000 postmasters who have not been
heard from, and it is to be hoped that they
will co-operate with the others. If they
will consent to do so, and if the returns
average only SI. 50 per year, or 12 i cents
per month, the work can be kept in pro
gress. A very slight effort made in each
place throughout the country would iu
sure the completion of the monument in
a few years. Editors of newspapers are
desired to call attention to this patriotic
enterprise.
CUKIOL'S Stouy The Chicago Jour
nal of the loth tells the folluv.iii'j; extraor
dinary story :
This morning, a case was examined be
fore Justice Akin, which has au air of
romance around it, and exhibits a revela
tion of real life' from which a most thril
ling tale of fiction could be wrought. A
woman named Kllcu Welch was found
last night by one of the policeman roving
about the street, slightly intoxicated. She
was arrested upon the charge of vagTancy.
Parties who are knowing to her history
inform us that some five or six years ago
Ellen ran away from Ireland in company
with a dashing young Irishman whom her
parents had forbidden her to marry, ller
lather lived at Castle Kearney, and was
a man of opulence and influence, and El
leu had been well -brought up. But with
that perverscness which is always charac
teristic of love, was bent on marrying the
young officer. She accordingly eloped
with him, and came to Philadelphia, where
she wjis marriel.
She lived with her husband about a
year, at the expiration of which time he
died. She then came to Chicago and mar
ried again, but again she was doomed to
misfortune. Her husband, who had the
reputation of being an excelle nt man, was
drowued in the river by falling from a
schooner. Ellen maintained herself by
sewing for a time, but finally fell in with
disreputable characters, who fleeced her
out of her clothiug, and an allowance of
thirty dollars which she received every
three mouths from her father through the
priest. She took to drinking, and by
gradual descents soon fell to a low depth
We know from indubitable sources that
this woman, this morning arraigned be
fore the Police Court for being a common
vagrant, is an oura nin-e, to Daniel O'Con
nell, the great Irish orator and reformer,
her mother Mary O'Connell, being his sis
ter. Her parents, as we said before, oc
cupy Castle Kearney, in Ireland, and are
known through the length and breadth of
Ireland as a family of opulence, and widely
esteemed for their many acts of kindness.
New Post Office Stamps. A new
Post Office Stamp lias been invented by a
gentleman in Philadelphia, which is cal
culated to meet a public want that has long
been felt. The peculiarity of the new pat
ent stamp is this : it leaves its impression
not only on the envelope enclosing a letter.
but upon cvc-ry'fold of the letter itself.
This is effected by means of a steel die, the
letters and ngures upon which arc formed
by a series of Sue points, which pierce the
envelope and its contents in such a m.ninpr
as to impart, incffuceably, the name of the
post-omec ana date upon winch the letter
is mailed. Since the general introduction
of envelopes, much inconvenience has been
suffered from the want of such an invention.
In numerous instances, as every business
man knows, letters containing orders are
received, in which the name of the poi t
town and the date are entirely omitted,
and upon which the post-mark has been
so imperfectly impressed as to be unintel
ligible. For this reason post dates on en
velopes are not received iu court in evidence
and very properly so, from the fact that
wrong envelopes could be easily substituted
to make out a ease. With the new steel
pointed stamp, however, all these disad
vantages are effectively obviated.
Will of William E. Burton-, the
Actor. The will of the late William E.
Burton, the distinguished comedian and
author, has been offered for probate. Its
provisions relate solely to the testator's
family, and possess no interest for the gen
eral public.

thousand dollar?, to be paid to his wife,
Mrs. Jano Livingston Burton, in equal
quarterly payments during her life, and

Cleveland Burton, the testator divides all
the residue of his estate into three equal
shares, one for each of his three daughters
Cecelia, Virginia, and Rosine, such'sharcs

they may appoint by will, or, in defaulted
such appointment, to their children, if they
shall leave any; and in case of the death
of either, without such appointment, and
without such issue, to the surviving sisters.
Dr. John J. Crane, and Cecelia" Burton

CHAPTER I.
Introductory.
I is really astonishing how little attention
we Pennsylvaniar.s pay to the local history of
our Commonwealth. Many an incident of
pioneer life, many a scene of savage warfare,
and frontier strife, enacted within our bor
ders, that might well occupy the pages of
historj-, are only preserved as legends of un
early history, and will soon be lost forever.
Indeed, in the present agepf railroads and
telegraphs, we scarcely think of looking into
our past history; devoting all our attention
and our energies to the future.
Treogo's "Geography of Pc-uusylvania,"' and
Burrowes' "State Book," are both excellent
works iu their way, and no school-room should
be without the one or the otht-r of thc-ia.
Geographically, they tire accurate and reli
able ; but they make little or no pretensions
to a history of the early settlement, as this
would have been beyond the aim of their
respective authors.
The author of "Historical Collections,"
Sheumax Day, of Counect'.cut, has succeeded
in rescuing much that is interesting and en
tertaining in our early history" from oblivion.
Iu order to accomplish his purpose, he visited
every county in. the State, gave wood cuts of
the dinVrc-ut County seats, from views taken
by himself, and elicited! every possible infor
mation as tt) the history and resources of
every County in the State. He ha3 since been
followed by plagiarists, who, iu pretence of
giving the history of certain Counties, boldly
appropriated the whole of his labors, without
a word or thought of their own, and succeeded
in palming tho thrfi upon the community.
But every County contains a volume in
itself; aud I, gentle reader, your unknown
friend, shall be the chronicler of Cambria
County. Intimately acquainted with her ge
ography, her population, and her resources, I
trust to be able to do full justice to these de
partments. But I shall attempt something
further than this ; and endeavor to give a
separate history cf the settlement of each
neighborhood, stirring incidents among the
pioneers, anecdotes and eccentricities of no
ted characters, ic, ic.
If these papers shall be the means of doing
justice to the iluunlain Cvimty, among those
who do not know, or knowing do not appre
ciate, her advantages or if they shall make
one citizen thereof, native or adopted, prouder
of his mountain home Verily I have my
reward."

MoNK3Aii-s, Sept. 25, Ib53.
Lor is Natolkon. A Paris letter wri
ter thus describes Louis iNapoleon on one
of the spacious avenues of that imperial
city : Driving a pair of splendid buys at
tached to a box wagon, with the reins in
his own hands, and handling them astho'
he were accustomed to it, without itny out
riders, equerries, or guards, the Emperor
Napoleon came along the avenue. He was
dressed with a black overcoat, and a hat
which wasa fashion of itsown. The points
of his moustache looked particularly sharp
and his 'imperial' as though it had just
come from the barber's.. It reejuired a
stead7 hand and a quick eye to guide those
dashing horses thro' the immense throng
of vehicles of every description which filled
the avenue, particularly as the driver, while
keeping one eye upon the steeds, was obli
ged with the other, to acknowledge- the
salutations which he received on every side
and he kept up a continual bowing. 1 con
sider myself a tolerably good Democrat,
but I took 1113' hat entirely from my head
as he passed. A great man is he he has
been Eucccss-fal; and, cant as pseudo phi
losophers may about it, success is the true
measure of great men, after all. The Em
peror gives us yet, no signs of age he will
be fifty-two on the 20th of April next
but looks as fresh and young, I think, as
when I saw him five years ago, before he
had the whole weight of Europe on his
shoulders and the i'opc 'down ou him.'"
The Census. The government at
Washington is now engaged in preparing
for the eighth census pince the organiza
tion of this republic, and it has already
issued preliminary instructions for cariy
ing out that great work, to the census
marfdialls throughout the country. The
census officials are to commence opera
tions on the first of June, and they are
required to complete the work in over
state and Territory within the earliest
practicable time. Ten years have elapsed
since the last national census was taken,
and in that period the country has attain
ed a marvelous degree of prosperity, liiirli
ly developed resources, a wider extended
territory, and a largely increased popula
tion. Two States Miunesota and Ore
gon have been added to the Union since
then, and three new Territories Kansas,
Nebraska and "Washington have been
organized under Territorial Legislatures.
The total population of the States and
Territories, according to the census of
1850, was twenty-three million one hun
dred and ninety-one thousand eight hun
dred and seventy six. The New York
Jlrruhl publishes a carefully prepared
estimate, and sets down the population of
the country in round numbers at thirty
six millions : Do Bow and other s-taticians
estimate it at thirty-two millions, while a
writer in the fhiladclplna orflurn Amer
ican, puts it at over thirty-three millions.
It is not improbable that the llerahVs es
timate will be found nearer the figures of
the total returns than any of the others.
The Kentucky House of Ilepresen
tatives paFsed a bill on Friday, by a vote of
77 to 5, providing for the removal of frco
negroes from that Stt.
Removal of ttic Scat or Government.
Many attempts have been made to re
move the seat of government from llarris
burg to Philadelphia, under the plea that
members of the legislature and otiicers of
the Commonwealth would have better ac
comodations, better library privileges, &c.
The bill before the present Ugi.-lature con
cerning the removal, reads as follows :
Whereas, It is believed that the mem
bers of the Legi.-lature and officers of gov
ernment would enjoy better accomodations
in the city of Philadelphia than in the
present capital cf the State, have access to
various libraries, reading rooms and insti
tutions of learning and tbc aits, and obtain
a more extended intercourse with their fel
low citizens and men of business resorting
to that commercial metropolis, which could
not fail to be mutually bc-nitieial, and to i
the advantage of the commonwealth :
Therefore,
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Kejiresc-ntativcs of the Ce-mmou-we
alth of Pennsylvania in Ceneral Assem
bly met, and it is hereby enacted by the
authority of the same, 1 hat if the city of j
Philadelphia shall and will uhlan "two j
years fr;m the date hereof proviue ample
buildings and accommodations fbr the leg
islative halls and oflicers of government,
including a mau.-ion for the residence of
the Governor, the faith of this Common
wealth is hereby pledged that the heat of
government shall bo removed to the city
of Philadelphia, end provision be made
by law for carrying the purpose of this act
into effect without delay.
Sec. 1. That the Uovei nor is hereby di
rected to transmit to the mayor and coun
cils of the city of Philadelphia, a duly au
thenticated copy of this ct, and to receive
and transmit to the Legislature such com
munications in relation thereto ao may be
received by him.
Store Hlown ip with an Ini eknae
Machine. Dr. II. A. Uavison, who, it
will be remembered, was one of the er
sons who entered the jail and shot Thus.
S. Lowe, about a year ago, attempted to
destroy his own life, together with the
lives of several other persons.
On Monday last. lr. Davidson entered
the fctoie of Mr. Duncan, in which Mr.
Sterrett, with some other persons, were
.seated. He had under his cloak a willow
market baktt, in which, covered e ver with
some es, was an "mic-mal machine of'
his own invention, a desc-rir tion of which i
1 . 1 1
may tre interesting. It wis a tin tube,
large enough to bold fve or six pounds tf
ptwdir, vitli which it was filled. This
magazine was contained within another
tin canister, of double the size. I he
space between the two was filled with
bullets or lirge-sizcd thot a sufEcLnt
number to weigh ten or twelve pounds.
Mr. Pavidscn aj j Torched Mr. Sterrett,
and, when within a few foot of him, set
fire to his infernal machine, with the ex
pectation of blowing hin.sel.f, Mr. Sterrett
and eve rybody cle in the room into eter
nity. The shoe- k was terrible. The room
was built of stone and brick. One whole
side of the house was blown out, the roof
was lifted from the rafters, and six larire
siils above were broken. Mr. Duncan, the
merchant, was very dangerously wounded
it is feared fatally. Mr. ttrret was
seriously hurt, and badly burned. Three
of the bullets entered his face, and it is
feared he may lose an eye.
Dr. Davidson had his left arm broken
in two places, his collar-bone broken, his
right shoulder dislocated, the fles-h torn
off the shoulder to the bone, his clothes
torn from his body, and he was badly
burned iu the face, breast and arm. lie
was a horrible sight, and rushed from the
house after the explosion crying, '-Kill
me, fur Hod's sake ; I do not want to live
any longer." Two other persons were in
the room, but were not seriously hurt.

Women's Kiuiits at a Pukmitm in
New York. The women of New York
are about to Lc placed, by law, in a 1 edi
tion in which wedded bliss will not make
their pioperty the common property of
their husbands, cs formerly. The net of
IcMS vested everything that a woman
possessed at the time of her ir.arriaro, or
afterward acquired, in the hands' t f the
husband, and if he became involved, her
property wa-. at his Service. But there is
a bill now before the New York Legisla
ture which is to further promote the in
terests of the emancipation of women, in
asmuch as it provides that what a single
women possesses at the time of her mar
riage, or whatever she may subseuuently
acquirc, by gift or desire, is her own auei
docs not become a partnership matter with
her huband. This law will
give the w ife
much the advautane over tin liuO...,i 1..,
cause ti e wile s property will be her own,
and the husband's property will be his and
his wife s, both. She is not liable for his
oe.-lts, but he is liable, as heretofore, for all
of hers. Woman's rights are at a premi
um now in New York, and if Inlands
don t like it, they can take leave whenev
er they please, and their wiles can do bus
iness with their own money, if they are
fortunate enough to be the happy posses
sors of such previous to marriage.
Gold in Bucks County, Pa. The
Doylestown (Pa.) Democrat, of the 21st

within three miles of Doylestown. This

not quite ten cents worth to the Ion
