In Congress, and through the press of the South, we find another supremacy openly avowed over and beyond that of the peo ple. A Seuator from South Carolina an nounces in the Senate chamber of the United States that " Cotton is king," and all his brother Senators from the slave breeding and cotton-growing States tacitly concur in the statement ; nor does it meet with stern rebuke from any considerable number of Senators from t lie nominally "free States." We are therefore con strained to admit the assertion to be true, that we are ruled by a king ; and one more tyrannical than any who sits upon a Eu ropean throne.

The most singular matter connected fu iu ruie va iiai ue majurwy w our Tit. ti - t il.i a' - ; ! people imagine that whilst they are per mitted to go to the polls and vote for the agents and tools of King Cotton, they are governing themselves. When the atro cious acts of this usurper are pointed out to them they admit the tyranny, hut, like toyal subjects, are ready to assert that "the king can do uo wrong," because, say they, these despotic acts are necessary to the preservation of his power, and without their exercise he would speedily be depos ed, since he has no legitimate claim to rule beyond what is derived from having three millions of slaves whom he may sell, use, or misuse, besides the other millions whom he uses without claiming the riht to put them on the auction block. That this king is but an impudent usur per must be apparent to all, since if we are no longer "a republic" but a monarchy, , ... , , , . . ur rutif wouiu oe aDie to exuiDit a iar better title to rule, and the sway of either J would be more universally acknowledged than that of "King Cotton." Neither of these would find it necessary to marshal a host of slaves to maintain his dominion, since either might be maintained to be the representative monarch of free la bor. We are therefore not only ruled by a ferocious despot, who is not willing to ac cord to us any right which might conflict with his assumed supremacy, but who is himself a base usurper, whose family was transplanted to these shores since our no ble Declaration of Independence was pro mulgated. His Native American compet itors were here when the "Pilgrim Fath ers" landed, and are entitled to rule, if we must have a king for even King Potato has stronger claims upon us, if he would assert them, than King Cotton. Cotton, however, is conceded to be king, and it only remains for U3 to overthrow the despotism which he has established and reclaim the rights which he has wres ted from us, or sink into the condition of abject slaves of hi3 will. The oucstion has been placed before the people and the issue is fairly made. Shall we demonstrate to the world that we are a nation of free men, owning no sovereign but the expres sed will of the sovereign people, through their unbribed and untrammelled represen tative8 M our fatbera decreed? or shall we aJmit that free government is a failure Aat CQttoa .g ki and g ' triarchal tenure, a divine institution, wbich we fire bound exten foster protectand thereby repudiate the asser I tions of our revolutionary natrinfq wlin prociaimed-ftler?y to be the birthright of aUmtn and denounced all kings who rule by making tbeir subjectg The Charleston Convention. The National Democratic Committee have determined not to change the place for holding the National Democratic Con vention. None feel more resentment for the disgraceful conduct of the Charleston press, in regard to the Convention, than do Southern Democrats ; but it is urged that the business of making a candidate and a platform may be very quickly dispos ed of. The previous question will cut off pro tracted discussion upon abstractions, and the ground will certainly be taken, that whoever refuses to vote for a resolution pledging every delegate to support the nominee, shall not be considered a member of the convention. Herein is abundant room for quarrel and for that disruption of the Convention which is intimated in quarters not generally thought of. TlT Opv at Tast., px,tV York.

CHAPTER VII. History. Cambria County, like her sister coun ties, was, prior to the settlements made by rjioneers. the abode of the savages A The territory now included in her boun daries was the hunting-grounds of the Delaware Indians, or the Leni Lenape, (original people) as they complacently called themselves. They were also called Algonquins. The Munseys, or Wolves, as they were called, inhabited tin? region; while the Unarms, or Turtles, and the Unalachtgos, or Turkeys, inhabited the more eastern portions of the then pro vince. These were distinct tribes of the Delawaref. From the fact that no extensive Indian villages leave their vestiges among us, we are led to infer that our territory was not a favorite residence for the "red men of the forest." Still there is a number of aborigiual remains among us, which shall be noticed when we come to speak of the different Townships. The severity of the seasons, ana tne aDsence or any large stream of water, perhaps, prevented them from having any large encampments here. Yet they have made some portions of the County famous by their traditions. Johnstown is located on the site of an old Indian town named44Kickenapawling," and the beautiful name of the stream upon which it is located, is borrowed from the same source. J.iia name oi fausquehanna is also of Indian origin, and one of. their greatest landmarks is Canoe-Place, (now Cherry Tree,) the north-eastern corner of the county, that being the head of canoe navigation. But the county is intersected by various paths, by which the natives were wont to pass from their encampments on the Juniata and Susquehanna to those on the Conemauirh aud Allegheny. The celebrated "Kittanuing path" traverses the county from the Eastern border, a little North of AVest, until it crosses the line of Iudiaua county. This far-famed path was the route of the "sons of the forest" from the "Frankstown settlement" to 4'Kittannin," at that time a celebrated Indian town on the Allegheny. It became afterwards the track for the early explo rers and surveyors, and hence in the in vestigation of land titles, the same path is a favorite starting point in the location of warrants. Though nearly obliterated, it is still well known to our hunters, who often follow it in thc pursuit of game. An Indian path also led from the neighbor- hood of Loretto, aud intersected the Frankstown road, between Alunstcr and the Summit. A short distance above the confluence of the Deavcrdam and Slate-lick branches of the Clearfield, are found the remains of a very singular ancient fortification. The embankments must originally have been 6Qme six Qr eight feet high, but at this ... , . , c j time do not exceed five, and are overgrown lnS lands exhibit the appearance of a Western prairie, from which it is probable the name of Clearfield had its origin. The story of Mrs. Alcorn is familiar to many of the old settlers, llcr husband, James Alcorn, had settled near to where the borough of Loretto now stands, lie had erected himself a little lo' cabin, and had cleared a patch in which he had planted potatoes, at some distance from it. One day, Mrs. Alcorn went to get some potatoes for dinner, and was never seen afterwards. The most diliccnt search was made for her, but it was entirely unavail ing. A report which prevailed that she was seen many years afterwards was not authenticated ; and her disappearance is, to this day, wrapped in mystery. Of course, thc Indians had the credit of the abduction ; but there is just as little doubt that they were entitled to it. Mr. Alcorn afterwards removed to Indiana county, where some of his descendants still reside JONATHAN OLDBUCK. Moxkbauns, Nov. 12, 1S53. IJARSUM Erect.

IIohrible Affair. During week be fore hist, a sloop engaged in the oyster trade was found off Staten Island, New York at sea, and upon examination it was ascertained, that no persons were on board, and that the vessel bore marks of a bloody encounter. The deck was cover ed with blood, at places showing signs of a struggle. At the sides of the vessel were to be seen bunches ot hair clotted with blood. On the stair-way leading to the deck was to be seen the mark ol a hatchet, where evidently in the enoouuter the hand of one of the unfortunate victims in clinging to the stair-way had been cut off. The "small boat of the vessel was gone. It was found upon bringing the vessel to New York that the sloop had left the harbor of New York but shortly before in charge of a Captain, two boys, and a man by the name of Johnston. A vessel had run into thc sloop the night before she was found, when the small boat was still aboard, and but one man made his appearance on deck. Particular atten tion was not called to the sloop at that time. The Police of New York were soon on the track of the murderer, and a series of circumstances soon came to light, which d to his speedy capture. A man in a small boat landed on Staten Island, and eft the boat on the beach. Shortly after person with a bundle stopped at a res- aurant, and his conversation seeinco , ir. i 1 rather suspicious. lie was iraccu uu a 'erry boat, where he had tliesame bundle. and maae an exnioiuon oi some iuuiiev n the bundle, about $1000 as alleged, which he had saved from a shipwreck. Ie was finally traced to his home in New York, was s-en to leave the city with his wife and child and was finally captured in a private dwelling on the outskirts of rovidcnce, K. 1. A sold watch, belong ing to the Captain of the sloop, was found in his possession, lhe name ol the sus pected murderer is "William Johnson, and it is supposed, that he murdered his three unfortunate victims singly, the clothing of the Captain being found unsoiled with blood, and rendering probable the inier- . . i ii i .1 .1 ence, that he was in bed, wnen tne omer two were murdered. The unfortunate man has been brought to New York, where histnal will come off in due time. A more daring and cold-blooded murder, it has not beeu our lot to chronicle in many a day. Tiik Free Banking Law. Under the new law, the power to establish banks will exist wherever the requisite capital can be obtained, and a sufficient amount of business is transacted to render them profitable ; but while this wide extension ot baiiKing privileges is made, every pos sible precaution is taken to guard note holders against loss, and indeed they are more completely and effectually secured than under the old law. Notwithstanding the many stringent provisions applicable to our present banks, failures have occa sionally occurred by which note-holders have been subjected to great losses, and this seems impossible under the new sys tem. Under a free-banking svstem we do not doubt that the number of banks will be greatly increased in our State. Indeed, every prominent village will probably es tablish such an institution, and localities which have long vainly importuned the Legislature will now gratify their deterred hopes. Many of the existing banks will also fiud rival institutions springing up by their side, lor the favoritism which some of them are accused of manifesting toward applicants for discounts, will, necessarily, lead to new banks. It is probable that, in some cases, banks will be established where they cannot be well sustained; but the experiment need not, necessarily, be injurious to the public, for note-holders will be amply secured, and stock-holders must take their risks in this as in all other kinds of business. Besides, the minimum amount of capital required is so small, that institutions can be created whose operations will be in accordance with the demands of localities in which the amount of active business and of capital is very limited. The 1'rcss. Burning Negroes at the Stake The St. Louis JTeics condems the spirit of tne late speech ot Mr. an Vyck,of New York, and says portions of it were gravely false and uncharitable, if he meant to con vey the idea that cruelty to male slaves in the bouth was the rule, and kindness the exception. Kindness was the rule cru elty the exception. 44But" says the Jteics : "But, nevertheless, cruelty exists and slaves have been burned to death at the stake in the slave States. No louder a-o than last summer, a negro man committed an infamous outrage in Saline county, in this State, and he was instantly seized byan infuriated mob, composed, it is said, of the best citizens of that county. lie was tied to a stake.

To this irregularity another is uuuea, viz, mat 01 wearing the hats a la savour, wnicn are considered the emblem of the party opposed to the Imperial and Execution of a Murderess at q, Paul. The St. Paul (Minn.) papers last Saturday morning contain the partk ulars of the hanging of Mrs. Mary Ata Bilansky, whose trial and conviction fa having poisoned her husband, will be t. membered. She was executed on 1. Friday, and to the last moment strong protested her innocence, declaring not she, but another person, had polsoiiti her husband. It ban unusual thing to hang awoty in this country. This is one of theon'r two or three cases where a white wo has ever been hanged in the United StatT The murder of which Mrs. Bilansky y convicted, occurred on the 12th of Marci 1856. Mr. Bilansky, a Polander, of iotj wealth, removed from Illinois to St. pa-j! in 1847, and there bought real estate, opened a saloon. The woman who tj, executed last Friday, arrived at St two or three 3'ears ago, from North Carc! where it is supposed she has rt-latiTes lir. ing, but she has persistently refund give any account of her past life, more ii to say that she has friends living, Vj know not where she is, and from i0a she evidently wished to conceal her minious fate. She married Bilansky in 1859, aci their family resided a man named Walker, between whom and Mrs. Eilanar there existed an illicit intimacy, as y proved, both before and alter hermarr. Mr. Bilansky died suddenly, and sxa of foul play arose, which led to an iaver.. gation, resulting in the conviction of Lj wife, it. being proved that she purch.i arsenic, and arsenic was found in the 53. ach of the deceased. In May last, si; succeeded, by means of outside aid, in es caping from the jail, but was re-arrejtd some days afterwards, and in I'ececb? last, after repeated efforts on the part d her counsel to secure for her a new trjl the day of execution was fixed forthe2S: of March. Her counsel and sympathizes then made a last desperate fcffvrt to incus the Minnesota Legislature to commute h: sentence, and succeeded so far as to hrt a' resolution passed to that effect. TV.4, however, was quashed by the veto of tb Governor. There can be no doubt, after a penasl of the testimony, that she was guilt v of ih horrid deed of which she stood convicted, her motive being to get her husband c;: of the way, get possession of his property and enjoy it with her paramour, Walier. whom she claimed as nephew.
