East lowa Fair in our Sanctum
On Saturday last, Mr JOHN RHODES, of
Vast lowa farm, Henderson township, enter
ed our office with two bags filled with arti
cles he proposed, with our permission, to ex
hibit, that the whole world and the rest of
mankind might know that some things can
be done as well as otherth He. first emp
tied out an enormous sugar beet—next, six
turnips, the three largest weighing 111
pounds—next, a half bushel of large pota
toes of different kinds--next, a half bushel
of the largest and most perfect ears of corn
we ever saw, any exhibited at our late fair
not excepted—also four ears of beautiful pop
corn- , --and several twin apples. After the ex
hibition should close we were to appropriate
tho whole to our use, and we found it necessa
ry to break up the show at an early hour in the
afternoon or lose our profits, as every visitor
'would like to have this or that,' leaving us the
honor only of having the management of the
affair.
On the day previous we received from`Mr.
A. Jacasox PORTER, of the same township,
a half bushel of large and very fine turnips.
We thought at the time Mr. Rhodes was emp
tying his bags that we would also exhibit Mr.
Porter's turnips, but we soon discovered'that
we would be risking too much; they were safe
in the cellar and there, we came to the very
wise conclusion, they had better remain.
First premium of thanks are awarded to
both gentlemen.
The Senatorial Conference
We learn that this Conference passed a reso
tion of instruction in favor of Mr. Buchanan i
for the Presidency—and that his few fi lends '
in this county are crowing lustily over it.—
Now the fact is, the question was not 'agita
tated at all so far as we know in the selection
of conferees, but it seems that the. friends of
Mr. Bnchap had been secretly busy, to
force an expression of this kind for their own
purposes. As it was, the whole delegation
from Huntingdon, and part of Blair voted
agaisnt the resolution, whilst one of the Cam
bria conferees declared himself personally op
posed to it. We have 'not yet received the
proceedings, but presume the yeas and nays
will not be published, as that would not suit
the wire workers. The valley of the Juni
ata is not for Buchanan for the Presidency,
for the reason that he is not available—and is
additionally obnoxious to the Democracy on
account of the Character of the men who have
him in keeping. We know his friends in
Huntingdon county are not one in ten of
the party—and we believe he is greatly in
the minority in Blair.
BROAD Tor CITY.—A public sale of lots
in this town was held on Wednesday the
17th instant. Forty-seven lots _were dispo
sed of, for the sum of four thousand three
hundred and one dollars—averaging $9l 51
each. Another sale will be held.
A SMALL BUSINESS.—Under this caption
the Globe makes an attack upon us for leav
ing out the word "beautiful" in the notice of
a card from his printing establishment.—
iNow here is another face on the matter.—
We had intended placing on exhibition a sam
ple of our job work, but when we understood
that neither of the other offices would exhib
it specimens, we gave up the idea.—Hun
tingdon Journal.
Then, because you had no specimens of
job work on exhibition, you had the impu
dence to alter the report of :he Committee to
suit your own interests. Well, it is not too
late for "the largest and best job office in the
county" to contest for the honor we claim.
We propose-Ist. That a committee of five
gentlemen be selected,—you name two, we
name two, and the fifth to be named by the
four we select. 2d. That we place in the
bands of the Committee $25, and you the
same amount, the whole to be awarded by
the Committee to the office hiving the best
assortment of jobbing type and exhibiting
the best, neatest and greatest variety of work
---the type and specimens of work in both
offices to be examined by said Committee.-
3d. That said Committee make their report
on Saturday next, and for their services to re
ceive an oyster supper at "the expense of the
office receiving the premium.
Now, Mr. Journal editors, as you have
been bragging prodigiously of late, and try
ing your hands at specimens since the fair,
we hope you will not beck out.
The Scheme of the Abolitionists.
The Abolitionists are playing a deep and
wily game to secure the election of Wet. H.
SEWARD, of New York, to the Presidency.
To effect this result it is positively asserted
{says the Perry county Democrat,) that the
Abolition societies of Europe have united
with similar societies in. this country, and
that with the aid of the remnant of the Know
Nothing party they hope to succeed in their
design.
At a time when we see Know Nothing Ab
olition journals teeming with abuse of for
eigners who have fled from oppression and
made this their home, we find them secretly
conniving with Foreign Abolition societies
to elect to t he highest office in the' world, a
man whose whole life. has. been that
of an agitator—the violent sectionalist—who
would sacrifice the best interests of the coun
try and destroy the bond of union which now
exists between the North and South, merely
to carry out his one idea—the abolition of
slavery in the United States.
Agitation is the food on which these fenat
ics live, and political life or death depends
upon the success of their schemes to embroil
the two sections of the country . in a disas
trous civil war. For many years have the
Abolitionists exerted all their power to bring
about this result. With the aid of the Know
Nothings, and with s new party name—that
of "Republican"—they hope to accomplish
their treasonable designs.
"Foreign influence," of which we have
heard so much fora year or two past, is now
employed, by theevery men who pretended
to be but a very short time since dreadfully
alarmed at its interference in our concerns, to
carry out their attempt to subvert the Consti
tution of the country.—When Gen. Wash
ington cautioned the United States to beware
of Foreign Influence, he referred to the inter
ference of foreign governments and foreign
political parties, in our affairs. He never
dreamed of proscribing the individual for
eigner who had fled from tyranny and came
here to make this his home and the home of
his children. He never desired to disfran
chise nor degrade them. But 'his warning
referred to the schemes which European gov
ernments would concoct to cripple and des
troy our country—a country which he fore
saw destined *to surpass all other nations in
power and greatness. After having fought
side - by side with foreigners throughout the
Revolution, and after our liberties were won,
took one of them into his cabinet and made
him his confident, he certainly did not mean
to impress his countrymen with the idea that
our liberties were in danger front foreigners
in their individual capacity. The Father of
his Country desired to warn our nation of
just such "Foreign Influence" as the Aboli
tionists and Know Nothings are now em
ploying to carry their candidate for the Pres
idency.
The issue to be decided in the next cam
paign is, shall the Democracy continue to
govern the country according to the Consti
tution, or shall a combination ot. Abolition
ists, Know Nothings and fanatics of every
species, be permitted to rule and eventually
ruin this highly favored and prosperous na
tion.
Will those Democrats who were enticed into
the Know Nothing organization suffer them
selves to be sold to the Abolitionists I Will
they yield implicit obedience to the mandates
of those leaders of the secret order who have
been purchased by the money of foreign ab
olition societies 1 Will they heedlessly con
tinue to oppose the only party to which the
country can now look for deliverance from
the unholy schemes of these traitors 1 We
believe there are thousands of men who
were' enticed into the dens of the Know
Nothings who are possessed of too much pa
triotism to be convetted into incendiary Abo
litionists. Now is your time to make your
choice. Will you remain true to your coun
try and her glorious institutions, or will you
connect yourselves with an organization
that is seeking the destruction of the Union,
and that, too, through the machinations of
Foreign Abolition societies ? It is high time
for every man who is opposed to this scheme
of the Abolitionists, to come out at once and
indentif3 himself with the Democratic party.
No matter whether he :las been a Know
Nothing or a Whig in the past, it is his duty
now to take a position with the only party
that is strong enough to avert the threatened
danger.
POST. OFFICE DECISION.-II has been deci
ded by the Post-Office Department that a
mere mark above or around an advertisement
or other asticle in a newspaper, does not sub
ject the newspaper to letter postage; as by
such mark no additional information is eith
er asked for or communicated. This, how
ever, should not be understood as allowing
any device used by which information is ask
ed for or given. Any device—a letter or fig
ure, for instance—to indicate that the period
of subscription has expired, or is about to ex
pire, is a clear violation of law, subjecting
the paper to letter postage by weight, and if
that is not paid, the Postmaster of the office
of delivery is required to return the paper of
the mailing office for prosecution. The pen
alty is five dollars.
10' After a tedious hunt over the columns
of the Journal we found what the honorable
editors of that paper intended should take the
place of the paragraph referred to in the Globe
two weeks ago.
,It is not published in the
words of the committee and might as well
have been omitted by them altogether.
The Elections
NEW YORK.—the election in New York
has resulted in the success of all the Know-
Nothing State officers. The plurality for
Readly, K. N., for Secretary of State, is 10,-
839. The complexion of the State Senate is
undecided, though from 15 to 17 Senators,
out of the 32, are claimed as Republican or
Fusionists to the Evening Journal. The
Assembly will stand—Democratic, 50; Re
publican, 43; American, 35.
The N.Y. Tribune of Monday says
There being neither President, Governor,
nor Members of Congress to choose this year,
the vote is naturally light—not more than
three-forths of a full poll—so that the vote
polled for the Know-Nothing ticket cannot
exceed a quarter of the legal suffrages of our
people. The machinery of councils, oaths,
and passwords, of course, enabled the K. N's
to poll very nearly every vote they had, and
the seven or eight score thousand votes tin
polled are nearly all opposed to proscription
because of creed or birthplace.
Last year, the secret organization . carried
nearly all the West-7-Senaca, Ontario, Orleans,
Livingston, Genesee, Erie, •Chautauque, Cat
taraugus, Allegany, Steuben, and Chemutig.
Of all the Counties west of Cayuga Lake, on
ly Wayne, Monroe, Niagara and Wyoming
gave pluralities against Ullmann. Now,
these four are as decidedly anti-Know-Noth
ing as then, while Erie, Cattaraugus, Allega
ny and Chemung are reclaimed—two of them
by the Republicans, two by the Softs—and
Ontario, Livingston, Chautauque and Orleans
are nearly tied —the Republicans carrying a
part of their candidates in each. And this
reaction is not the result of a "fusion" of all
parties opposed to the "Americans;'? on the
contrary, there were generally two or three
tickets in the field opposed to theirs. Erie
County last y ear gave the Know Nothings 2,-
450 more than the Softs, while Gov. Clark
had 2,119 votes; now the Softs beat the K.
N's 1000, in spite of their appeals in favor
of their Senator, Putnam, as author of the
Church Property bill; yet the Republican
vote is decidedly larger than Clark's.
MARYLAND.—The Maryland Congression
al delegation elected stands as follows :
James A. Stewart, (Dem.) First District.
James B. Ricaud, (K. N.) Second District.

eral hundred. There is nothing from the
Fourth District.
MISSISSIPPI.—It is remted, on the authori
ty of despatches from Jackson, that all the
Derilocratic members of Congress in IVlissis
sippi are elected.—The Legislature•is also
Democratic by thirty majority. The Demo
cratic State ticket has a majority of 5000.

ted as follows : Senate—Democrats 12,
Whigs 5, Know. Nothings 3. House—Dem
ocrats 37, Whigs 16, KnoW-Nothings 6, and
1 Temperance man.
WiscoNH - N.—The State ticket runs close,
and the result is doubtful. The Legishail re, ,
as far as heard from, standi :- 7 -Senate, 14
Republicans, 11 Democrats. Absembly, 32..
Republicans, 32 Democrats.
Double Headed Hindooism.
Hon. Mr. Sidell, United States Senator from
Louisiana, in replying to an invitation to be
present at a Demociatic festival at Baltimore,
thus shows up the inconsistency of Know..
Nothingism :
"Look at Massachusetts; there Abolition
ism, religious persecution and the most - gall
ing system of social espionage and despotism,
under the garb of temperance, go hand in
hand. From the pulpits, instead of the meek
and persuasive tones of Christkin pastors, in
culcating the pure and unpretending morality
of the Gospel, peace on earth and good will
towards men, are hurled the defiant and an
gry denunciations of wily demagogues and
excited partisans. May God long avert the
day when the monstrons combination of the
politician and the priest, whether Protestant
or Catholic; shall find favor with the masses
of the American people ! There the 1,100
anti-Nebraska preachers thunder forth their
anathemas against abominations of the lewd
woman of Babylon, the type of the Scarlet
Prostitute of Rome. But what say their af
filiated lodges in Louisiana, where Catholics
form so large a portion of the constituency ?
They 'roar you as gently as sucking cloves.'
There, forsooth, opposition to Catholicism is
no part of the Know Nothing creed. They
assert boldly, and attempt to prove that re
ligious proscription is not one of the watch
words of their order. They appeal to their
ticket and point complacently to their Catho
lic candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor and 7'reasurer, as conclusive refutation
of the baseless slander."
Thus, it seems that whilst the Hindoos of
Massachusetts appoint boorish committees to
ransack the appal tments in Catholic female
seminaries, and insult the lady teachers, their
brethren of Louisiana select Catholics as
their candidates for the highest offices in the
State ! and why ? because a mojority of the
people of Louisiana are Catholics, and they
wish to secure their votes !
The Ohio Democracy.
The democrats of Ohio do not despair.
The result of their last election show im
mense gains over the preceding contest, and
we are glad to perceive that they are already
in the field marshalling for the canvass of
1856. The following from the Ohio States
man of the 28:h of October shows the spirit
which pervades the Buckeye democracy :
"THE OHIO DE3IOCRATIC PRESS.—We have
never known the democratic press of Ohio to
be in such glorious spirits after an election
in which their opponents were successful as
at the present time. There is not a democrat
ic paper in Ohio which looks upon the result
of the late election as a democratic defeat !
The whig or fusion majority against us last
fall was so overwhelming that it seemed al
most impossible to overcome it in one year !
Yet we have broken their ranks, confused
their armies, and almost overcome their great
majoritie.4 ! When we consider the circum
stances under which the campaign was com
menced—the singular, yet powerful, combi
nations against us—the secret and oath-bound
cabal to organize and marshal their forces—
the fraud, deception, and misrepresentation
to aid in obtaining votes against us—and the
many traitors in our ranks who went over to
the enemy—it seems a wonder that the fu
sion majority, of last year •was not increased!
Instead of such a result, we have gained tens
of thousands of votes, and dismayed the ene
my by the small majority they have obtained!
Democrats of Ohio, the skies are bright !
Pick your flints, and try again !"
Turnpikes and Plank Roads
We learn that several companies are form
ing for the purpose of constructing turnpikes
and plank roads in Bedford and Blair count
ties to connect with the Huntingdor, and
Broad Top Railroad at Hopewell. The Bed
ford people say the timelas gone by when
it will pay to wagon their produce and take
back their merchandize from points so dis
tant and difficult of access, as Hollidays
burg and Cumberland. Hopewell will be
come the depot and all the trade and travel
to and from Bedford, the Cove, &c., will in a
great measure pass that way. The business
people of the "ancient borough" must be
prepared for a heavy increase of business as
soon as the several roads are completed.
FouNn.—An infant female child, supposed
to be about 8 days old, comfortably dressed
and wrapped up in an old calicci dress, was
found at a late hour on Friday night last in
the school house yard on the hill. Who its
mother or father is, or who left it there, is
yet to be discovered. The little, innocent
fell in good hands—Miss JANE WOODS has it
in charge.

Covet not your Neighbor's Goods.
The New York Tribune thus sensibly an
swers a correspondent who has been swind
led by one of the many traps set to catch the
green and gullible portion of the sovereigns :
We CAN'T HELP IT--Mr. Thomas Potter,
Glen's Falls N. Y., wants our help to expose
and punish somebody who has been doing
him and many others out of $2 each,- being
their subscription to The Whole World, which
was to have been, and perhaps for a time was
issued in this city by "J. W. Hart, World
Hall, Broadway, N. Y." Said Hart advertised
that he would distribute among his first
three hundred thousand subscribers $300,000
worth of "Gifts," commencing with." Prof.
Hart's Whole World, $50,000," then Profes
"Hart's elegant country -Seat $55,000 ; 77 "A.
magnificent City Residence, $17,000," and
so on. Of course, these "Gifts" are not
forthcoming, nor the newspaper either;"
whence we conclude that the Professor has
retired to his "Elegant Country Seat," to
concoct some fresher scheme for swindling
the greenhorns wherewith the country over
flows. Or perhaps he has started on those
"Extensive Travels in the Old and New
World," of which we note that he proposes
to distribute One Hundred Thousand Copies
among his geese—when he gets his flock
made up.
Mr. Potter must not ask us to hunt up
"Professor Hart." He may be at Aix-la-Chap
elle, or•Benares, or examining the crater of
Kilaueo, or looking down from the peaks of
the Himalayas, for aught we can guess.
Wherever he is, we have no doubt that he
has a pocket toll of cash and is having agood
dollar
while Such men will never lack a
while the world rejoices in the possession of
a fool. And we really can't pity those that
run into his gambling trap very much. If
they had not coveted money which they had
never earned, they would have never run in
to his snare, Men who pay over their cash
to agents or publishers of whom they know
nothing and whom nobody knows as respon
sible, cannot expect to have much left.
To PREVENT BLOOMERS.—The patent pet
ticoat lifter ~2s a great centre of attraction at
the Crystal "Palace. It is thus described:
There are four small pulleys attached to
the ,waste, underneath the dress, over which
are rove small cord, one end of which is at:
tached, with diaper pins, severally to the
front, rear and sides. of the skirt, at about the
height of the knee.—The other ends termi
nate in loops, which are led into the pockets
on either side. Ti a lady wishes to go up
stairs, she pulls loop No. 1 in the right pock
et, and instantly the dress rises in front, so
that the ascent is made with perfect grace.
No. 2 in the left hand packet elevates the
rear in the same 'manner, and all pulled at
once lifts all the skirt knee high.
From the St. Joseph. (Mo.) Cycle, Extra, Oct. 23
Startling Developments—Treason. in
Kansas.
To the people of Missouri :
Acivico-military organization exists in our
neighboring territory, formed to war upon
our institutions, and to militate against our
lives, our interests and our hopes. A Mr.
P. Laughlin, a Kentuckian, and a member of
the secret society, with danger to -his life,
has made the following expose, which we
give in his own words :
" There are arms accumulated in abun
dance in Lawrence and in the territory, fur
nished by an organization in Boston, which
has also forwarded $lOO,OOO cash, to be used
for the purpose of making Kansas a flee
State. This Northern secret society is pre
pared to resort to violence to carry out its.pur
pose, in case all other means fail. It pro
claims the Union a bagatelle and a farce, and
the confederacy not worth preserving. A
house bu Et. at Lawrence by the Emigrant Aid
Society in Massachusetts, and the principal
hotel in the place, is a fortress in itself, with
port holes and all the requisites—for offensive
and defensive warfare.
"A box marked drygoods, and directed to
Dr. Robison, agent of the Emigrant Aid Soci
ety, was opened in my presence, and was fil-'
led with the arms and munitions of war. The
leading men of this Secret Northern Society
are directing and governing the popular mind
with a view to war. They proclaim that
Slavery shall not exist in Kansas, and boast of
having run off three negroes from Missouri
and sent them to Canada.
"The object of the society, which is open
ly promulgated to the members, is to war
upon the institutions of the South. They de
clare that color is no bar to perfect liberty
and equality, so far as the Whites are con
cerned. The society is organized on a mil
itary basis, and draws on religion as the spur
and incentive to action. According to the
Constitution the members are bound to mus
ter, is fact oath-bound, whenever called upon
for active service. 1 was introduced to the
Executive Commit tee by Governor Reeder,
and recommended by him as a worthy mem
ber, and left it only when I found I could not
commune with it without being guilty of
,treason,
"A resolution was offered on the 9th Sep
tember to the following effect : That every
reliable Free"-Soiler be provided with a rifle,
a brace of pistols, and a sabre, to come when
called upon by his superior officer. That
he should go and use his arms for the rescue
of any one coming under the jurisdiction of
the present laws of the tetritory. For the
truth of the above, lam willing to vouch on
oath. P. LAUGHLIN.
Important from Washington.
‘VASHINGTON : Nov. 9.
We have stirring intelligence from Europe,
Mexico and Central America. The Govern
ment have received the full correspondence
between our minister in London and Lord
Clarendon, on the conflicting interpretations
of the Clayton and Bulwer treaty. The gen
eral result is, that that celebrated arrange
ment is no more. It is by mutual agreement
or rather disagreement, explained away. It
has disappeared in a cloud of construction,
and is repudiated-by common consent. In
the negotiation upon this question, both Mr.
Marcy and Mr. Buchanan have put forth their
highest ability, and have shown themselves
perfect masters of the art of diplomacy—
more than a match in fact for Clarendon and
Palmerston combined, the latter being, per
haps, the most acute
- and adroit in Europe,
not excepting the German veterans, Metter
nich and Nesselrode.
Mr. Buchanan writes that the British Gov
ernment, being pressed , by him, under in
stmctions, to give a distinct answer to these
demands of the American Government, has
replied that she rejects them; without quali
fication.
The Cause of the Defeat
It is rather amusing to see how the differ
ent newspapers .explain the cause of onr
defeat at the late election. One says it was
the "Jug Law ;" another says the Whigs
were at fault ; another, it was the proscrip
tive course of the Know Nothings; and an
other ascribes it to the doings of the late
Legislature. There may be something in the
reason last assigned, .and perhaps in each of
the others, but we strongly suspect it was the
general disgust of the people with Know
Nothingism that did the work. If the party
in power last winter in the Legislature had
harmonized and elected a United States Sena
tor, which it was their duty to have done,
and not passed the "Jug Law," the result
might possibly have been different. How
ever, we are not sure that even that
would have saved them. Their intolerant,
proscriptive and fanatical course in other re
spects, was enough to damn any party with
out regard to its course in the Legislature.
The people were disgusted with it, and were
determined to rebuke it and check it in its
boastful and insolent career. Nd such secret,
intolerant, assassin-like party, that proscri
bes men on account of birth and religion,
and like the assassin, stabs in the dark, will
ever flourish in this free and intelligent land.
Such parties may spring up from time to time
and be temporarily successful, as Know Not h
ingism was, but like it they will have a mush
room B :owth, and will be as short-lived and
evanescent.—Barrzsburg Whig.
• The Pennsylvania Liquor Law.
PITTSBURGH, Saturday, Nov. 10, 1855.
The sentence of the liquor-dealers who
were convicted for violations of the Liquor
law expired to day. A large crowd assem
bled near the jail, where carriages had been
provided and a procession formed, headed
with a band of. music'" and the prisoners
were conducted through the.principal streets.
It is understood that all the liquor-dealers in
the city intend selling as usual, so that the
number of complaints will be so increased as
to clog the business of the courts until the
law is repealed.

amount of claims is about $155,000. The

Correspondence of the Daily Pennsylvanian.
NEw YORK, Nov. 9th.
There is no use in boggling about it ; the
Dark Lanterns have carried the State, but by
some fifteen thousand votes (according to the
latest returns,) less than were cast by the
Democratic Herds and Sorts. It is important
to keep this fact in mind lest the impression
may obtain elsewhere that New York now is
not as Democratic, as ever :he was. It .is
only a miserable quarrel about men in" the
Democratic patty, which warms black repub
licanism and disunion into life, and denies it
that power and influence in the Empire
State, which it exercised in the days of Uni
ted Democracy. ..•
