ADMITTED.—On Monday last, on motion
of David Blair, Esq., Mr. JONATHAN DUFF
was admitted to practice in the several Courts
of Huntingdon county: Mr. Duff, a native
of this county, is a very estimable young
man and we doubt not will fully maintain
the dignity of the profession. •
Pennsylvania Legislature
On Monday last, in the House, Mr. Sallade
read in place a bill to repeal the act to restrain
the sale of intoxicating liquors.
Mr. Hiester read-in place a supplement to
the act to restrain the sale of intoxicating
liquors, and which proposes to restrict gro
cers' licenses to their selling yearly merchan
diseto the value of $15,00•Q
The bill for the sale of the public improve
ments is still before the House.
[O.- Our young friend David S. Africa, has
commenced running a market car between
this place and Baltimore. Wednesday of
each week we believe is to be his regular day
for arrival, and our citizens may expect to be
furnished with the best the Baltimore mar
kets can afford. He will always have for
sale, fresh oysters, fresh fish, Give
him a call,
A Secret Out
We had hoped that not until the last day
of our. existence in this Shanghai world,
would the secret of our extraordinary good
health and sleekness, be made- known to the
people and "the rest of mankind," But the
meddlesome Quack Doctor of the patent Med
icine Journal, by --some means,--certainly
foul,.as we have no recollection that we ever
permitted him to examine our person,—has
discovered the secret and with malicious in
tent, has blabed it to the numerous readers of
the Journal. As`the exposure has made us
feel very miserable, and as misery loves com
pany, we ask it as a.particular favor that the
--Doctor examine several other sleek and heir
less gentlemen in town, and report at an
early day whether they too are unfit for ac
tive service.
The Mule and his Drivers
The mule and his drivers are certainly al
ready experiencing the last agonies of death.
We have devoted but very little attention to
them, yet it is evident from the appearance
of their lagt smut machine that 'they have
felt the lash, most -effectively applied, if
not by , us, by those who have heretofore
given that, sheet their support and a place in
their family. -Two long-columns of that pa
per are devoted to : our individual self,
and yet the addle-heads complain that use
have not kept them awake. It is a rule with
Its to do well whatever we undertake, and in
our own time we shall satisfy them that we
have "put them through."
CC' The last smut machine says we have
'"endeavored to cast opprobrium upon a gen
; tleman in this borough, in no way connected
- with the public press, and who is thus de
barred- the privilege of answering his (our)
insinuations.' This assertion is known to
be false by every individual who has perused
`,=the columns of that sheet. We insinuated
:,that the late editor of the "Standing-Stone
"Banner," a fanatical Know-Nothing, and a
`believer in ghosts and hobgoblins, was the
Writer of the abusive leaders in the Journal
Viand cbz
we now assert without the fear of sue
' bessful contradiction, that this same individ
.ital is the author of those articles—and fur
timer, that he has led Brewster by the nose in
to all the difficulties he now finds himself.
al:7" Lafayette, a foreigner, chartered a
vessel at, his own expense, =nee to this
~ountry, repaired to Philadelphia where the
Continental Congress was in session, and
asked permission to-aid in fighting American
•
battles, without compensation. His services
were acceptedr-Lhe fought gallantly to the
end of the revolutionary war, and then re
turnediltme to France without asking for of
fice or reward. And yet the Journal says
that "foreigners can never become fully
Americanized," and that they should never be
iiermithl3 to enter our army for the purpose
of defending their adopted country."

rtation. All possees alike liberty of conscience

gore that toleration is spoken of as if it were by
the indulgence of one class of people that anoth
er enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural

True Meridians
Experience has proven that some of the
Meridian lines established' in accordance with
the requirements of . an Aict of General As
sembly of this Commonwealth, passed' April
26th, 1850, are defective, and to such an ex
tea as to render them. unsafe as standards by
which to test, and regulate, surveying instru
ments. That something of the kind is
necessary, (true meridians): appears evident
from the numberless errors which have been,
and are being continually, detected and de
veloped, in our Courts of Yustice,—and is te.v
tified by practical thinking men, who have
devoted. their lives to the pursuit of engineer
ing and surveying.
The subject of variation of the magnetic
needle is but little understood by any others
than practitioners, and of course, the public,
in general, do not appreciate the necessity
of true meridians and feel quite little interest
therein.
Legislative action should be had on the
subject. The plan suggested, and one which
we endorse and approve, because we believe
it will most effectually accomplish the ob
ject sought is, that the Legislature at its pres
ent session authorize the - Governor to appoint
a Commission consisting of three qualified
persons whose duties shall be, to visit each
county with authority to examine, and
correct its true meridian—and make a report
of their examinations to him as early as prac
ticable. The expenses to be borne by the
Common wealth.
This subject has been, we notice, agitated
iti a Circular lately issued by the County
Surveyor of this county, J. StmPsoN AFRICA,
and a communication in the last School Jour
nal, by a gentleman in Centre county, also
touches the matter, and proves the writer to
be actuated by the right spirit.
'Democracy.
What Democrat' can read the- following
and not feel proud that he is one of the De
mocracy We copy from the Harrisburg.
Democratic Union :
"The Democratic party is the party of
progress. Democracy embodies all that is
good, holy, 'and virtuous. It promotes peace
on earth, and good will among men. It is
mild in its code, benevolent in its intentions,
and is tenacious of moral, religious and po
litical rights. It would curb the rough-shod
expeditions of the aristocracy over the labor
of the country, and restrain the lawless ag
gressions o f privileged wealth. It respects
the right of person, property and conscience :-
it opened the door for freedom of speech and
of the press. It tends to destroy inequality,
suffering and poverty. It protects and ritir
tures the general interests of society. It
enacts to benefit the many, without conflic
ting with the cctritiozi rights or privi
leges of the mind The will of the many
is the arch on which state sovereignty rests.
It oils labor, and fosters the cultivation of
the soil, whence all our wealth is derived.—
It has no love for persecusion ; but its course,
like that of truth, is onward. It levels dis
tinctions among men, except that which ari
ses from integrity, virtue and merit. It ex
poses the grasping, avaricious, domineering,
cruel and overbearing. It has nothing in
common with intolerance and corruption, and
depraved ambition—nothing compatible with
fraud, humbug, delusion or anarchy. Its
empire is founded on wisdom, freedom and
the happiness of a world now grovelling in
error,-superstition and despotism.
It has no cold philosophy, but speaks to
the heart ; of kindness, good-will , and love ;
and to the head, of utility and progress,—
Ever since the dawn of the Revolution, when
Bunkerts heights gleamed with the red light
of war; when our skies were illuminated by
the beacon-fires of liberty ; when the sun of
- American independence shone out bright and
warm ; ever since the patriots of 1776, and
the statesmen of that memorable day, preach
ed from the rude hustings the sublime doc
trine Of the rights of man, the equality of the
masses, old customs were no longer sancti
fied, old habits no more revered, and the loy
al ty of prejudice for kingcreft, priestcraft,
and English lawcraft, evaporated from the
bosom of man. They knew nothing but the
law of god : "Do unto others as you would
that others should do unto you;" and the
dogmas of a Christian tyrant, whose code
was not of min who came to bring peace on
earth, were leveled to the dust. The cause
of Democracy has been onward from that pe
riod to this. But Federalism—now Know-
Not hingism—is the old serpent who
would beguile us, as the devil did our first
parents, and with a mere song of gratifica
tion to our animal nature. -- It has nothing
for the heart or intellect. It is the stationary
party. It has broached no new idea since
the days of Ilanti.Ton, and we challenge
contradiction on this point. Its dogmas are
of a rotten British court, and its principles
are entirely monarchical."
O * There are three papers in New York
which are particularly down on the "d—d
furriners" of all kinds—the Albany State
Register, Rochester American, and Buffalo
Commercial Advertizer, and yet strange to
say, the leading men of these papers are of
foreign extraction. Lacy one of the propri
etors of the Register, was born in England.
Mann, of the Rochester American, was born
in Scotland, and until he was 14 years of age,
peddled itch ointment around Edinburg.—
Parmelee of the Buffalo Commercial—the
man of the "twenty-five dollar character,"
was an English soldier, and left the army one
day tinder the escort of one drummer and
two rope-ends. These are the men who are rich and extensive valleys of limestone land
now "rallying round the constitution "and within the borders of our State—and another

who insist that foreign influence will yet un-

► The Broad Top road has given a new life
bocker, and so say we. to this whole community. Towns are
springing up every few miles and rapidly in
creasing in population. Worthington, twelve
miles from Huntingdon, was laid out a few
weeks ago, and about fifty lots, 50 feet by
150 feet, were sold at prices , ranging from
one' hundred and fifty dollars to two hundred
and fifty dollars. Coal Mont, on Shoup's run,
and within half a mile of the coal openings,
twelve months ago bad but one small house,
now quite a number of fine buildings are
completed and occupied, and many more un
der way.- Saxton, at the junction of Hope
well and Shoup run branches, has been laid
out in lots, and a large number sold and
buildings commenced - . Hopewell and Ston
erstown have, within the last year and a half,
increased three hundred per cent, in popula
tion, and farm lands on the line of road have
been sold at an advance of two hundred per
cent, of what the same could have been pur
chase& two years since.
Froin all who come hello to examine for
themselves, we have the opinion, the time is
not far off when Broad Top shall be one of
the most populous and wealthy portions of
the interior of Pennsylvania.
We are, very respectfully,
Yours, &c. &c.,

PATTON & GOSJ.EII, heavy contractors 'On the
road, will be read with. much interest by the
citizens of this county. There can be no lon
ger a doubt that "Old Huntingdon" will;
a few years, be one of the wealthiest and
most populous counties in the State; and our
borough the principal town on the line of
the great Central Roncr, between Philadelphia
and. Pittsburg. No iv is the time for zaphal

footholds in our borough, as in a short time
we e..pect to see our town full and running
over.
Read the letter :
STONERSTOWN, March 29th, 1855.
To John McCanles and H. D. Moore, Esqs:
It may not be uninteresting to you to know
, how the work on our end of the line is pro-
I grossing. With the exception of the Sto-
Inerstown Bridge and section 25, the grading
of this end of the line of road, terminating at
the Company's lands on Shoup's Run, is
nearly completed. Section 25 may be done
. by some time in the mouth of - July next;
and the Bridge though the weather has been
, much against us during the whole of this
I month, we expect to have done early in July
1 next. Our quarries are turning out stone
1 from three to twelve feet in length, and from
' one foot to two and a half feet in thickness.
The abutments are finished, leaving to be
done yet the running up of the four piers,
I each of which is at present twenty-three feet
above low water mark.
I From the present strong force on the line,
: the road must be so far, completed as to etre
!' hle the Company to carry 'coal from the mines
Ito market in the . fall months. So much in
I demand is the Broad Top coal, even in this
neighborhood, that in one day. during the
late snows, no less than eighty-one teams
Ipassed our door on their way to the moun
tain for coal, many of them within a few
i miles of Hollidaysburg, where they could
I get the Allegheny and other coals at the
isame price they pay for the Broad Pop coal ;
I and they haul the Broad Top some eighteen
or twenty miles, crossing Tussey's Mountain,
in preference to taking the other coals which
they could get almost at theit own doors.—
The Broad Top coal has been carried on sleds
to Hancock, on the Potomac, and sold at
twelve and a half cents a bushel more than
the Cumberland coal was there selling at, to
Blacksmiths, and brings that difference at
Chambersburg, Qreencestle, Mercersburg,
and the country around.
We have been using the Broad top coal
I for the last two winters, in our dining room
and kitchen, and in the store room and office.
lOur blacksmiths, (tutee,} who have been on
most of the heavy lines of improvements -in
this state, Ohio, and Indiana, say they have
I never seen or used as good a quality-of coal
ias this; though having been used to enthra
-1 cite, from the Wilkesbarre and Shamokin re-
I gions, we much
. prefer this. It makes a de
' lightful fire, burns freely, and leaves a clean
I grate; and though wood can be had at: from
one dollar to one dollar arid a half per cord,
I delivered at the door, yet this coal is used
I here in this town almost exclusively. One
would suppose, from the quality of coal ta- i
Iken from Broad Top, that regular mining op-
erations were going on, which, of course, is
not. the case to any extent yet ; but from the •
I great facility of getting at the coal on either
side of almost any of the ravines in the
mountain, the most inexperienced open out
veins from which to supply their families, '
and get out large quantities for sale. There
is not so much of this out-crop to be remo-
Ived, [which costs -in most all other coal re
• gions thousands of dollars,] before coming
lat the pure coal; you come at the pure coal
at once. Certainly, there is no coal region
where coal can be opened and worked at so '
little expense as this; and as to quantity, it
is beyond calculation. There is no coal su
perior to it in quality yet found in our State.
The opening recently made, on Shoup's
Run, by the Company, works admirably—
better, in some respects, than the celebrated
Cook Bank opposite ; and the other open
ings on this run, Crawford Bank, Barnet '
Banks, Noble Back, Evans Bank, with oth
ers, can be put in order in quite a short time, 1
and at a trifling expense, to work coal in
any required quantity for market, as well as !
the openings on Six Mile Run, [with its ex
tensive
line of coal mouth.] The old Red-
Illesburg Bank, Porter Tract Bank; Entree i
kin's Bank, Shrieve flank, Loy 'and Patter
son Bank, William and Samuel Andresen
Bank, and others, as well also the'John Che
, vington Bank, Niniager and Co's Bank, and
the Barnet Tract Bank, an Sandy sun—all
of these openings on the three'runs are what
is called the "Bottom Vein," which runs
from five feet to seven feet thick, and in
some places as much as ten feet. Veins of
iron ore, two feet thick, are found between
the different veins of coal in the mountain,
which, beside other things, makes the best of
' forge hamnaera. ..
Timber is abundant. everywhere id the
mountain—white pines, hemlock, hickory,
walnut, and oak of the largest growth—ea de
cided advantage this, over the Schuylkill re
gion, where timber for mining purposes must
be'earried a number of miles, and all who
visit here are surprised to find the table lands
-of Broad Top lie so well for good farms—
with the purest and best of springs of water,
and limestone in inexhaustible beds, within
three to four miles travel, lying in Wood
Cock valley, through which the Broad Top
1 road passes.
You may not be aware that besides the very
extensive bodies of iron ore about Hopewell,
Lemnos' and Bedford Iron Works, and the ,
Fluke Banks, large bodies of ore, from quite I
recent examinations by the owners of the
lands, have been found all along the base of
Tussey's mountain to the Fluke Banks,
eighteen miles northward. The freight over
the Broad Top road—the cheapest cross
country road in the State, from this scource
alone cannot be inconsiderable; and there
has passed the Legislature an act authorizing
the construction of a Plank road from Pat
tonsville to Hopewell, a distance of about six
miles, making a road of a slightly descen
ding grade through the gap of Tussey's
mountain to Hopewell, and making a conve
nient out-let to the farmers and millers of
Morison's Cove, one of the meet beautiful,
Road
The Massachusetts Know-Nothing Leg-
islature
Some days since the Legislature of Massa
chusetts appointed a committee to visit and
investigate the Catholic schools and convents
of that state, for the purpose of enlighten
ing the public upon the internal arrang
ments of these institutions. The following
sketch of the committee is by one of their
own organs, the New York Herald;
BURGLARIOUS PROCEEDINGS OF THE MASSA
CHUSETTS LEGISLATURE.—The whole evi
dence has been published and it now stands
confessed to the world that a committee of
the legislature of Massachusetts have viola
ted the highest laws of the land by forcing
their way into a private seminary at Roxbu
ry, and trampled under foot the rules of de
cency by insulting the harmless, defenceless
females whom they found there. The Leg
islature had no right to appoint a committee
to - enter any private dwelling house, whether
used as a school or for any other purpose.— .
Such an act was beyond their powers; and if
the owner of the seminary they entered had
shot them dead on the threshold, the law
would, have held him harmless. There was
no danger of anything'of the kind, the, house
being occupied by ladies, and the commitee
proceeded on their task fearlessly._
Having. entered the building, they procee
ded to acts of blackguardism and indecency
which the worst mob could hardly have ex
ceeded. Some scattered and searched the
private rooms of the institution, .leaving but
one linen closet which happened to be locked
unsearched. Others followed the Superior,
questioning her in a rude indelicate manner,
and behaving as they might have done had
the building been an asylum for penitents
instead - of a private school. One brute for
ced himself into a bedr:oom where a poor sick
girl lay in bed, and approached her so close
ly that "she felt his breath on her face,"—
Another
actually placed his hands on the
person of a female teacher. Several of the
party thrust themselves into the chapel and
by their rude irreverent language, frightened
away a lady. who was in prayer at the time.
And the men who did these things are mem- I
bers of the Massachusetts Legislature !
So far as these individuals themselves are
concerned, the bare statement of their con
duct
is more crushing than any epithets I
however severe or however merited. But the
American party has a duty to "perform,
which cannot be neglected. The Massachu
setts Know Nothings must purge themselves :
of the society of such men as these. The
members of the order in the other States can
have no communion with individuals who
break into houses, or insult defenceless fe
males; and if the Know Nothings in the Bay
State do not cleanse their ranks by expelling
such agents of .defilement, the order will cut
itself adrift from the councils of Massachu
setts.
Is Poverty a Crime
The Know Nothing organs, generally, ap
pear to be almost horror-stricken at the idea
of foreign paupers coming to our shores ;
and those poor unfortunate creatures invari
ably come in for a full share of abuse. Now,
why is this ? Does the fault lie with the
paupers? Certainly not. The government
that ships them, alone, -. is responsible. We
are of opinion that the simple fact of being
held up to' the gaze of the world as a pauper
is heartrending enough, withont being kicked
and cuffed for it in the bargain. If Know-
Nothing saints—particularly those who pro
fess so much reverence for the Bible—think
this brutal treatment right and proper, and in
accordance with the word of God then, and
in that. instance, we shall be forced to cry
aloud, "Father, forgive them, for they know
not what they do." - If Christian ministers,
who sanction and uphold the dark lantern
gentry, can stand upon the alter .of the Most
High God and proclaim to the world that this
is Bible piety, then we confess that we have
read the scriptures to little purpose, and en
tirely misunderstood the doctrines of the
great founder of the church.
But, to leave out of view entirely the reli
gious aspect of the question, how can they
reconcile such a course with true American
principles, according to which, if we under
stand them correctly, ail :men were created
equal, and endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights, among which are
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
without any qualifications or restriction as
to poverty or riches.—Democratic Union.
fl John Binns, of Philadelphia ; in the
"Recollections" of his life, uses the following
language:
"My opinion is, that this new secret so,ci
etv, bound and kept together by illegal oaths,
will have a ruinous influence upon the whig
party. The love of office and the hope of
obtaining it will induce many active men
among thorn to join the "Know -Nothings,"
but those who are whits from attachment to
the principles of the party will not band
themselves with men who, for the sheer love
of office, take oaths against the peace and
dignity of the Commonwealth." '

Houses of the Massachusetts Legislature.
Agricultural
In pursuance of adjournment, the Hunting
don County Agricultural Society met in the
Court House on Wednesday evening the 11th
of April, 1855, and was called to order by
the President. J. S. Barr, Esq., one of the
RecordingSecretarips of the Society, not be
ing in attendance, on motion Henry Brews
ter was appointed in his place, pro tem. The
minutes of the last meeting, were then read,
approved and adopted.
On motion it was resoZvcd, That R. Hare
Esc., the Treasurer, pro 2:07L, of this
Society, be requested to hand over the books,
money, papers &c., now in his possession,
into' the hands of the present Treasurer, Hon.
James Gin.
On motion., it was further resolved, That
this Society hold a fair, next fall, at such time
and place as the Executive Committee may
decide upon.
On motion, the following supplement to
the Constitution was submitted for the con
sideration of the. Society, to come in as a new
Section, after Sec. 11th, viz ;: "Any persons
paying five dollars to the Treasurer, may be
come a life member, and shall be entitled to
all the privileges of said Society." A vote
was taken on said supplement, and carried
in the affirmative ; but a - question arising as
to its constitutionality and propriety a mo
tion was made to reconsider, which being
carried in the affirmative, the following reso
lution was offered and adopted as a substi
tute, as follows, viz ; "That it shall be op
tional with any person contributing to, or
wishing to become a member of said Society
to pay fifty cents—one dollar, or any greater
sum as he may deem proper ; and that any
person paying five dollars to the Treasurer
for the use of the Society, may become a life
member, and shall be entitled to all the priv
ileges of said Society."
On motion, it was resolved, That this So
ciety, when it now adjourns, shall stand ad
journed to meet again at Huntingdon, on the
Tuesday evening of the first. week of the
Court in August next. . .
Resolved further, That proceedings of this
meeting be published in all the newspapers
of this county .
At this stage of the proceedings, a num
ber of very fine and select specimens of seeds
were presented, and exhibited before the Soci
ety ; procured from abroad through the unti
ring zeal, and persevering industry of the
Librarian, Theo. H. Cremer, Esq.; and by
him distributed in small parcels amon'the
members present.
Society then adjourned.
The meeting, on account of other attrac t
tions elsewhere in town ; and more especial
ly in consequence of a large number of the
citizens, and persons attending Court, hav
ing gone home the day previous, was not so
large as on some former, occasions ; yet the
-number in attendance was respectably large,
and the proceedings were conducted in the
most orderly manner. Everything passed
off harmoniously, and to the entire satisfac
tion of all present. Considerable accessions
were made to the membership of the Socie-,
ty ; airespectable fund was raised to meet the
current, incidental,,and other expenses of the
Society,—and a deep and growing solicitude
seemed to be manifested by the members to
do everything in their Tower to promote the
interests, and to carry out ultimately and
successfully the object of the Society.

Know-Nothingisni in Kentucky.
John Bowman, Esq., of Kentucky, having
been called upon from several quarters to be
come the Democratic candidate for governor
of that State, declined to assume the position,
for reasons alleged in a letter to the Louis
ville Times. He says :
"1 am unwilling to peril the fair prospects
of the party by becoming their standard
bearer in the next contest, for the simple
reason that my wife is a Catholic. I see that
a respectable ivhig paper (the Common
wealth) estimates the number of know-noth
ings in Kentucky at fifty thousand ; znd as
I have been informed by good authority that
no man who has a Catholic wife can be a
member of that 'society, it is fair to presume
that they would not vote for a man so circum
stanced. If this be true, fifty thousand cirti
'zens of Kentucky would say to me, "What
though yob are a native of Kentucky, and
your ancestors were among the pioneers of
this fair land—what though your grand
fathers, Lytle and Rowan, lost the earnings
of their lives—the first by the torch of the
Indian, the last by the moneys of the Conti
nental Congress—what though they did lost
on, fighting the Indian and felling the forest,
and under all these difficulties educate a por
tion of their families and that portion
not unknown or undistinguished in the
histories of Ohio, Kentucky, and the na l
tien—and what though you may be qual
ified to discharge the high duties of the of
fice you aspire to—we, fifty thousand peo
ple of Kentnckey, livirhg happily around our
hearthstones, won for us by the daring of
such men_ as you' sprung from, are determi
ned that you shall not be governor of Ken
tuckey, Mr. Rowan, because your wife, ex
ercising the privilege guarantied by the con
stitution of the United- States and the con
stitution of every State in the confederacy, to
worship God as she pleases, is a Catholic.—
It matters not to us that the ancestors of that
wife were of those who landed with Lord
Baltimore, and established the good old colo
ny of M.aryland, ( to this hour the home of I
refinement and hospitality,) the first to in
vite the religionists of Christendom to come
and worship Pod according to the dictates
of their own consciences."
