,(I:7' The Huntingdon Journal is no longer
like the Irishman's flea—it has at last defin
ed its position, and those of the Whig party
of "Old Huntingdon" who have not stooped
to conquer by going over to the Know. Not
hings, will discover that they are left solitary
and alone without an organ in the county.—
That the readers of the Globe may have a
full view of the character of Know-Nothing
ism we place upon our opposite page an"expo
sure" by a highly respectable citizen of Clear
field county—and tve hope our subscribers
after they peruse the Globe, will favor their
Whig neighbors with the loan of it that they
too may know what Know-Nothingism real
ly is, and what kind of "republicaniArn" the
once Whig organ of Huntingdon county now
advocates. How the mighty have fallen
since the days of the lamented Clark.
U Some days since the fanatical editor
of the Harrisburg Telegraph asserted that
Hon. James Campbell had appointed a for
eigner, by the name of Patrick M'Guire, as a
secret agent of the Post Office Department,
and that he was a Roman Catholic. The
truth is, Mr. M'Guire was first appointed by
President Fillmore to this post, and because
he was found a most excellent and trustwor
thy officer, Mr. Campbell retained him. He
is no foreigner. His fatlie9• was born in Ma
ryland, as was also his grandfater, and this
is more, probably, than can be said of the ed
itor of the Telegraph, and most of those who
are busily engaged in circulating falshoods to
keep alive that spirit of religious intolerance
which has been of late engendered in this
country.
Shirleysburg Female ;Seminary
We learn that Rev. JAMES CAMPBELL, has
resigned his charge of the Female Seminary
in Shirleysburg and his resignation has been

the close of the present session. Prof. J. B.
Krnurat, of New ,York, has rented the Semi

Seminary in New York city for the last
twelve years. Further particulars concern
ing the time the session will commence,
charges, Sz:c., will soon be placed before the

From the Harrisburg Democratic Union.
What save You Gained.
It is unnecessary for us to repeat what we
have several tirries already said, in regard to
the pbsition of the Democratic party in the
late Senatorial contest in this State. We
have strenuously contended that our political
organization had nothing whatever to do
with the selections for that office by Know
nothings. They had the power, although
for want of concentration 'did not exercise it,
of electing an United States Senator; and it
was not for us; or any other sincere Demo,
cratic editor, to dictate to them who they
should or should not select for the Office.—
The secret organization is one independent
of both the Whig and Democratic organiza
tions, and it received its existance, according
to the notions of its members, from the cor
ruptions of the old parties. It was stated
too, that a member's political antecedents
were forgotten—they all, whether formerly
Whig, Democratic, Free Soil, or what not,
stood upon the common platform of what was
called "Americanism," and the only desire
manifested was the establishment of a party
which acted from the principle that "Ameri
cans should r ule America." It is well known
that a large majority of the members of the
order were Whigs, and that they used the
organization for the benefit of themselves.
We predicted that they would not give the
Democrats who joined them the smallest
show, unless it would be some such office as
.alessenger or Assistant Doorkeeper; and
hence it.has turned out to be, what we said
from the first it was, nothing but a "Whig
trick."
When the Legislature assembled aegreat
deal of patriotism was displayed, and a
silent spectator would have thought that the
political revolution of 1854 had indeed thrown
upon the surface a state of things which was
to last: Democratic Know-Nothings went
into the caucus ; and assisted in the election
Of Mr. STRONG as Speaker. He was a Whig,
and in principle is so yet. Subsequent to
that time, another caucus was held, and the
Democrats again assisted - in the election of
Mr. SLIFER, as State Treasurer. Ho is also
a Whig, and nothing else. When the cau
cus assembled for the selection of a person
I for United States Senator, every one supposed
a man would be selected whose political af
finities heretofore were with the Democratic
party. Gen. CAMERON, we always believed,
was fairly nominated by that caucus; bat as
it did not suit those who intended to carry out
to its fullest extent the '"Whig trick." the
caucus broke up, and hence the result has
been obtained which was designed—the elec
tion of a Whig or no election at all.
During last fall's campaign we stated that
Know-Nothingism was a "Whig trick," and
we contended the result would plainly show
that we were not mistaken. Gov. Poeeoca•
was elected, and this was part of the game.
He came into power, and what. then ? Mr.
CURTIN, another Whig, was appointed Sec
retary of State—Mr. FRANKLIN. another
Whig, Attorney General —Mr. SULLIVAN,
another Whig ; Deputy Secretary of the Com
monwealth; while Mr. POWER, formerly a
Democrat, was appointed Adjutant General,
an office at a salary of three hundred dollars
per annum, and which office it is said he
cannot hold. Now if the American organi
zation is designed to obliterate all. recollec
tion of the members former political connec
tions, why were those officers not equally
divided? We do not wish to be understood
as saying aught against these men. We
have.nothir , to say against them in any'
way; but when a party asserts "fair play"
to be its leading characteristic, we wish to
see some evidence of it. The appointment
of former Democrats to small officers will ,
not be regarded as an answer to our argu
ments. "'Such an assertion is too bald not to
be understood. The man who is himself I
elected by Democratic votes to A high and
responsible station, on the plea that he is
the representative of a new party, should not
make all his selections of officers under him
from those who acted with him politically
heretofore. Such a course is but a clear indi
cation that he is in the game and under
stands how to work it.
The order have oaths to bind its members.
Those oaths prescribe it to- be the duty of '
'each and all to adhere to the nornina.tions '
made by the majority. The honest country
men who was frightened into connection with
- it, by the cry 'that there were danger to be
apprehended from Catholicism, and the hon
est Free-Sailer, who joined the order for fear'
slavery would spread over the land, were
''anade to believe that to oppose a ticket nomi
nated by the order would be perjury ! Yet
these same leaders, who taught this belief,
and had themselves sent as representatives to
the Legislature, on the first chance refused to
abide by the nomination made in caucus for
U. S. Senator ! Cannot any mar: of ordina- ,
ry eapacity see the boldness of the whole'
trick ! If the honest farmer is a member,-
and yotes ag o ainst the nominee of the order,
commits perjury, have not these- men done
the same thine If an act committed by one
map, be declared to be perjury, surely the
_same act committed by another person is no :
less so.
We have referreclSo these facts for the pur
pose of bringing to the minds' of the people
the exact stare of things as they now exist.
It is true we have nothing to do with the
Know-Nothing - organization, and never shall
have; but we have said that many honest
,Democrats have from various causes, some.
truthful and some not, been enveigled into
the organization, and tothem now we ask
the important question, What 'have you gai
ned' in the whole transaction Have you
been dealt with as men who' were willing to
forget former political affinities for what von
considered the good of the country "? Have
you not rather been dealt with as toadies, to
be used when votes were wanted, and to be
thrust aside when offices were to be given ?
We know there will be men sent into all parts
of the State to husk tip this matter, and you
will be told it is necessary to tio so for the
good of the order; but remember what we
now
. say,_ it is only intended to be for the
good of Whigs, who could not otherwise get
offices. Experience is a school wherein the
best and must useful lessons are taught.—
You can now see the object of the whole or
ganization, and we Warn you in time to" flee
the wrath to come." You have been most
egregiously fooled.. You have assisted to el
evate to power men who have no political
feeling in common with you, and who
are bound by the bitterness. which former
considerations have engendered, to betray
you, whenever an occasion arises'.
We are opposed to Know-Nothingism, out
anent ; but we are not opposed' to Democrats
will have been fooled into this' rriost foolish
business. To them we say, be fooled no longer
—the Democratic'party may have committed
errors, but remember, that the Whigs are the
poorest of all other_ partizans to correct them.
They are governell too much by self, and how
ever right a principle contended for maybe,
they never fail to make it a stepping stone
by which to obtain power. What we have
said, has been more in sorrow than anger ;
anti if we mistake not, the time is not far
distant when our good old ship will right
herself up again, ready to breast the storm of
all opposition,
MR. EDITOR :-I see a large portion of the
Huntingdonlournal occupied weekly by the
proceedings of the Teacher's Institute, under
the editorial supervision Of Mr. J. A. Hall.
Amongst those proceedings and essays read
before the Institute, I have yet to see any=
thing in relation to the most important part
of the education of children. I mean their
physical training. A sound and healthy mind
must ever be accompanied by a sound and
healthy body. A sound and fiealthy body
cannot be expected, unless the laws of na
ture, in rearing of that body be duly obeyed.
Cannot the "Institute," instead of giving
us learned essays and debates as to the best
method of cramming the most learning into
the tender minds of children in the shortest
time at the expense of health and future com
fort, give some consideration to the more im
portant subject of physical training and the
observance of more natural laws in the edu
cation of our youth Do not the teachers
know of the great effort to reform the whole
system of education in this respect in some
of the New England states, and the success
attending that effort Do they not know
that the modern plan of erecting school hous
es, need great reform in the way of heating
and ventilation—that having forty or fifty
scholars enclosed in a tight room for hours,
breathing over and over again the same air.
made doubly obnoxious by contact with a red
hot coal stove; without eiren a chimney,
place is murdering children ? That chil
dren must have pure air and exercise tp be
healthy and happy, is admitted by all, and
that three hours confinement out of twenty
four in a_school room well ventilated is fully
as much us nature will , endure without cam
plaining, is the conclusion come to by those
who have devoted their minds to the subject
in the east—and even then the intervening
hours of the day must be devoted to free and
uncontrolled natural exercise of the body.—
Great importance is attached to the age when
children should be first admitted to school.
The age should never be muter eight or nine.
The shape of the bench and the height of
the desk, so as to raise the scholar's arms
and keep him in an erect posture is also of
great importance.
I am not in the habit of writing for news
papers, but I know great evil is being done
now in this place, by gross neglect of the
plainest principles of common safety, in the
education of our children and I hope to call
the attention of the teachers to the subject I
allude to, hoping they may see the importance
of working some reform at least in the buil
ding of school houses, by increasing* the
height of the ceilings, introducing proper
ventilation, dispensing with air-tight and
coal burning stoves, and paying more atten
tion to the age of the pupil at admission, the
shortening of the . time of confinement in
,
school. and the free, natural and unrestrain
ed exercise of the body. A. 13.
Horrible Discovery.
The Chicago Press of Feb. 24th has been
furnished. by a gentleman from Lafayette,
Inc„ with the details of a rumor current in .
that city, which says, on the Saturday pre
ceding the memorable storm of the 21st ofl
January, two families, numbering ten persons, !
moving from Southern Indiana to Nothern j
Illinois, arrived at Oxford, the county seat
of Benton county, Ind., about forty miles
northwest of Lafayou;l, with two ox teams,
and well provided with necessaries for the
road - . They remained their through the I
storm, and on Monday morning resumed
their journey. Last Tuesday morning a
man passing over a prairie, only about five
miles from Oxford, came upon a sight which (
filled him' with horror.
The carcases of two" oxen, from which the
viscera had been removed, ' lay upon the
wound. Inside of one of them Were the fro
zen bodies of four children, and in the other
the frozen corpse of the mother, with a nur
sing infant at her breast. under the snow
was a heap of ashes, in which the iron of
the wagons showed that the party had bro
ken them up, and burned everything they
had in them in the effort to L• ve their lives.
Not far from this spot was found the body
of the other woman of the party, partly con
cealed in snow drift, and near her, one of
the men. The two other men had no! been
found.
At is probable that the party became intox
icably involved in the snow drifts on the
bleak - prairie and lest their presence of mind.
After burning up their wa g ons it would seem
that the men had killed two of their oxen
for a shelter to those found in them, and
then, accompanied by one woman, vainly
endeavored to reach the town they had left,
and procure aid to rescue their companions.
The two other oxen had wandered off.—
There was nothing about the persons to indi
cate who they were, and :nothing more is
known about them than was accidentally
communicated by them during their brief
stay al Oxford.
- THE RICHEST SELL WE' EVER HEARD OP.
—We find an account, in the East . Brooklyn
Times, of a new method of "raising the
wind" as well as the dead, in that city,•
which takes
. down anything in the didling .
line of the season,_ and indicates the extent
and pressure of the hard times. A female
called a few days since on a lady of some
influence in Brobklyn, and told a sad and
plaintive story of suffering and privation;
and moreover that her husband had just died
and she lacked the means of a decent burial.
Her tale of woe eo wraught upon the lady
that she proceeded to - visit her immediately
to satisfy herself there was no imposture.—
On entering the apartment she beheld th'e
coffin, and was satisfied all was right, and
not wishing to harrow the feelings of the be
reaved woman, she left her a considerable
sum of money ; and immediately departed.—
After passing two or three blocks-, from the
dwelling, thinking all the way of the strange
complexions to which we are liable, she mis
sed her pocket handkerchief and returned to
see if she had not dropped it in the house.—
The stairs were ascended hastily and the
room entered without much ceremony, when
what did she behold—the woman's husband
sitting up in the coffin counting over the
