XEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN
Thursday, June 13, 1850
(Tjr The 74th Anniversary of American Inde
pendence is not far distant and, if the citizens of
Stroudsburg and vicinity contemplate celebrating
ihe same by some public demonstration, it is high
time that arrangements be made.
.Violent TIiiiMiler-Slomi.
There was a heavy thunder-storm at Ilonesdale
last Saturday evening; the side-walks and streets
in the morning were literally covered with a yel
lowish, substance, which some of the chemists of
tliiVplace thave tried, and found it to be sulphur.
The Secretary of the Treasury has received from
some repentant sinner, len eagles, of which amount
liehacl once cheated Uncle Sam.
From Washington.
Telegraphic despatches state that, Henry Clay
was takenill while in church on Sunday last, and
would not be able to attend in the Senate on Mon-
d'
Another despatch, however, slates that Mr. Clay
made his' appearance in the Senate &V Monday,
iiis health having much improved.
There was a rumor in Washington that the brig
Rolla had been seized, and the American Consul
imprisoned, by the authorities, of Cuba. It turned
out to be a hoax.
. Gen. Lopez has been arrested at New Orleans,
ona charge of having violated, the law of 1818.
A great excitement ensued.
rEP On Friday night last,- $100,000 worth of
Property was destroyed by fire in -Pittsburg in
cluding the second Presbyterian Church.
. D33 Horace Grccly in a letter to the.New York
Tribune, .gives it us his opionion that the Compro
mise Bill cannot pass the Senate. The plan re-,
commended by the President seems to be gaining
strength daily. The last accounts from New
Mexico state that the people now propose forming
a Constitution-, and will ask admission as a State,
thesame as California.
I Enportaist Decision.
The County Commissioners of Berks county,
for some years past, haye assessed, upon Farmers
a tax or their occupations, for county purposes.
The legality of this assessment yvas tried the other
day,Jn',that county, and by a decision, made it ap
pears that the proceeding was illegal.
lYashvifle Convention.
. This body met in -the City of Nashville, on the
3d inst. Delegates appeared from nine of the
Southern States, but in many cases they had no
special authority to represent the people. It is
represented as a. perfect failure as far as -the num
ber 'of the delegates is concerned. Thus far, no
thing of a disunion character has transpired, though
resolutions of a strong ultra caste have been pre
sented, and referred for consideration. Some, of
these suggest the formation of a Southern party,
anti;a dissolution of .the present constitutional par

3,75 per thousand. Lumber has also fallen, but
not in iho same proportion.
It is estimated lhal during the year i860, the to
tal wealth sent from the United State to Califor
nia, will amount to the enormous sum $75,000,000.
The New York Globe says that thislfact is calcu
lated to startle at first glance, bu'adds thai when
"we come to reflect upon thd amount and charac
ter of the European emigration to these shores, we'
think our apprehensions of any series embarrass
ment from the emigration to California may cease.
The emigration from Europe to the United Stales;
lasl year, was, we believe, over 220,000. But if
we estimate it at only 160,000 for the current year,
we shall be farvithin lhemark. Now, the char
acter of this European emigration has much im
, k . c
Pved oflate years. Avery large proportion of
it consists of farmers and others, in circumstances
comparatively affluent. More than half bring with
them probably 500 pounds sterling, and a fourth,
at least, of the number may be fairly estimated to
b'rinff with them S5000 each, and not a few from
four to five times that amount. But, if only half
the emigrants from Europe average each 250
pounds sterling, it will replace the drain produced
by the emigration to California. We have no doubt
that the emigration fiom Europe to the United
States brings into ihe country, in i money, tWioe the
amount which the California emigrants take from
it."
High, Price of Flour in IVew Orleaui .
The Delta of the 30th ult., says : A great and
rapid advance has taken place lately in the price
of flour in this market, and sales of Ohio ,were
made yesterday at seven dollars a barrel, which is
a dollar and a half more than it would have brought
three weeks ago. The choicest brands of St. Lou
is flour are now held at eight dollars a barrel, and
there seems lo be every prospect of a further ad
vance. At St. Louis the stock is unusually low;
and a telegrapic dispalch of the 2.6th, received yes
terday, states that good brands of superfine were
selling there at seven dollars a barrel.
Effect of the Short Cotton Crop.
Our accounts from the South relative to com
mercial prospects continue to be discouraging. It
is said that there are more than on6 hundred and
thirty ships in the port of New Orleans, unem
ployed, and without reasonable prospect of em
ployment at remunerating rates. Freights are rul
ing at the ruinously low rale of on fourth of a
cent. per pound to Liverpool, while the prospect is
that the coming crop of cotton will not be equal to
that of last year, which scarcely 'exceeded tvo
millions of bales. Ships are leaving for Liver
pool in ballast, or freighted with goods for that
purpose, the freight of which scarcely defrays the
cost of' lading and discharging; a. circumstance
believed to be almost, if not altogether, without a
parallel in the history of American navigation.
The Growing Crops.
Private advices and reports of newspapers from
the Middle and Western States, represent, a glow
ing prospect for an abundant harvest, of bread-,
stuffs. Wheat is generally in excellent condition.
Fruit, with few exceptions, is also in a promising
state. With the exception of cotton, of which it
is, we regret to say, certain not an average crop
can be realized, the. prospects of the. husbandman
are quite flattering. Peace and plenty are the
greatest blessings which an Allvyise Proyidence
can vouchsafe to the great human family. Our
glorious country has been eminently favored, for
which we should be (but are, not) grateful to Him
whose goodness and mercy is.boundless fathom
less! The Lutheran Synod, which held its 104th an
nual session in Pottsville. last week, ordained six
Pastors, and licensed five candidates.to preach.
Among the latter was Edwin W. Hutter, Esq..,
formerly editor of the Lancaster Intelligencer, and
now .associate editor of the Luthemn Observer, "ax
Baltimore.
Resignation of Capt. Stockton.
We leai-if from Washington that Commodore
Richabd P. Stockton has resigned his4 commis
sion in the United States Javy. He entered "the
navy fn September, 1811, and received his cap
Iain's commission in 1838. Only sixteen years of
this long period has he spent in actual service.
The rest of the time he has been "waiting orders."
Commodore Stockton is a proud and haughty mil
lionaire so vain of his position and influence that'
no one can possibly mistake rthe fact. It is whis
pered that he aspiies to the democratic nomination
for the next Presidency ; and this is quite possi
ble. But surely the Democrats are too sagacious
not to know that he is. unpopular with the masses,
from his peculiar character.
Another Furnace Stopped.
'We regret to learn that Thos. S. Richards & Co.
proprietors pf ihe Pioneer Furnace at this place,
have determined to blow out that establishment in
the course of a few days, on accpunt of the ulter
prostration of the iron interest under Ihe present
British Tariff. This was the first Anthracite Fur-

of honesty'and professions of purity, do not look
well when coming from one who is known to have
thrust his fingers into the State Treasury and ta
ken therefrom thousands' of dollars, as a fraud,
and appropriating it to his own use, without ihe
least scruple or compunction of conscience. It
shows that all his professions of honesty 'are a

ple It is therefore hardly worth while to waste
words in reply ib-a deliberate' falsifier one who
utters parrot-like, the slanders Coined by the un
scruplous and hired minions of his party at the
seat of Government, and whose only ambition it
is to weave the wool of lies thus manufactured to
his hand in the great national laboratory al Wash
ington, into an apparently consistent and plausi
ble romance, without the slightest regard to honor,
justice, or decency. And ,yet, it may not be alto
gether unprofitable to expose the character of this
paper, which we regret to say is one of a class of
Locofoco journals, far.oulnumbering all the others
in the country.
When Dickens made his tour of the United
States., he seemed to be somewhat surprised to
find a class of jockies and small- speculators, who
boldly vaunted of their villainies, and who passed
amongst the communities in which they lived, as
men of a certain smartness and shrewdness, be
cause they were so "eminently successful in cion
ing their conciences into gold. We have often
had occasion lo remark that the Locofoco editori
al corpse could furnish a numerous class of op
perators upon the same principle.
Thfe Carlisle Volunteer, is a paper of this class.
The fundamental principle of its editorfal conduct
is that "a lie well stuck to is as good as the truth."
Proceeding upon this plan, it .becomes a matter of
great importance to study the principles of the
system, with a view to rendering it still more ef
fective. As orators have often found, that even
truth, is sometimes aided and.enforced by the help
of art, it becomes a subject of emulation yilh this
class of editors to m&ka . consist
ent and plausible in us paus.
To show what progress has been made in this
system of editing Locofoco papers, we will endea
vor to analyze the .little paragraph before us, and
extract the . substantial mass of falsehoods from
the mere filling with which the warp is united and
held together.
The whole people are out against the Galphin
Administration.1' - -
This we suppose means General Taylor's Ad
ministiation, and hardly heeds to be characterized
as lie ihe first. Its; friends were never more nu
merous or more devoted and enthusiastic than
they are at present. Why did not the editor of
ihe Volunteer point us to some suppoiter of Gen.
Taylor's who had changed his, opinion. Jf there
is such a man in the Union, we have yet to. hear
of him.
" No honest man can he any thing else than an
opponent of an administration so notoriously weak,
corrupt and dishonest as is the one now in wo-
wer
This, as it charges the Administration in-general
terms, with dishonesty and corruption is lie the
second. The editor did- not specify simply because
he could not. There was nothing for him to lay
hold of. Every body who takes any interest in the
affairs of the Government, knows that notwith
standing all the base efforts of the Locofoco ma
jority in Congress, to implicate the President and
his Cabinet in dishonorable practises they have
signally failed, and that locofoco Committee have
been obliged to sustain them in their reports in
every instance. That maker no difference how
ever, With the jockey press. " A lie well stuck to
is as good as the truth ;" and they continue to treat
it as though it had never been exploded.
' Henry Clay and Daniel Webster are not so
Iosl to shame as lo sanction the duplicity and dis
honesty of the " Robber Admistration."
This charge, it will be sepn, ismade to hang
upon the second ; it is dependent upon the general
allegation of corruption, which we have charac
terise'd as lie the second ; but,, as it is slightly va
ried by the introduction of Messrs'. Clay and Web
ster, who are in consequence of the alleged cor
ruption made to stand in a hostile attitude to the
Administration, it may be very properlylcharac
lerised as lie the third. The only point of differ
ence betwen Messrs Clay and Webster, and the
Administration, every body is perfectly laware, is
in reference , to. the adoption of the Compromise.
No.charge of corruption, or any misconduct, has
ever beei) brought by either of these gentlemen,
against 'the Administration. On the contrary Mr.
Clay distinctly affirmed in his .last intemperate
speech, in which we were sorry to see that be ar
raigned the Administration on the California Mes
sage, that it was withgreat pain that he felt him
self called upon tiToppose the President even up
on this subject, upon which it cannot be preten
ded, that a difference of opinion implies a want of
purity and honesty. If he had thought the Ad
ministration dishonest arid corrupt in the payment
of claims, and other matters, it'ean-hardly be sup
posed that it would have given him pain to differ
from it upona mere matterpfpojitipal expediency.
On the contrary would he hot haye rejoiced tjit

wisdom, sagacity and patriotism, but what is more
pertinent lo the issue presented by ihe paragraph
before us, honesty and purity, also.
. In recard to the payment of interest upon ihe
Galphin claim, which ia made the basis and pre
text of all this outcry, and .alUhis-vituperalion. of
the President and his Cabinet, it is sufficient .to
say that Congress recognised the justness of the
claim, and authorized the payment of whatever
might be found "due by the proper accounting of
ficer of the Department that this was under the
Administration of Mr, Polk-r-.that the auditor who
investigated the matter, was a Locotoco, oi iur.
Polk's appointment, and that HE reported in favor
of the payment of BOTH principal and interest
and that in addition to this, it was declared by
Mr. Ex-Secretary, of the Treasury, Hon. Ro
bert J. Walker, on oalh, as a witness before the
Locofoco Committee, appointed by the present
Locofcoo House of Representatives, to investigate
the whole transaction, that had he had the opinion
of the Attorney General before him, when the
matter was brought to his notice, while Secretary
of the Treasury, he would at once, and without
the slightest hesitation, have directed the payment
of the interest.
In view of all these facts so fully sustaining the
honor and character of the Administration, we say
it is plain that the editor Who affects to see any
thing dishonorable in the payment of the Galphin
claim, is either a base and reckles3 slanderer, a
Hbiller and traducer by intention and profession,
or else a hopeless and drivelling fool, who is inca
pable of comprehending the weight and force of
undisputed facts and the positive testimony of un
impeached and unimpeachable witnesses.
In contrast with the fabulous "Galphin," and
other imaginary plunderers under the present Ad
ministration, we beg leave to present the following
list of real vultures who were' so successful in
thrusting not only their beaks, but their whole bo
dies into t he Treasury under the Locofoco Admin
istrations of Jackson, Van Buren and Polk:

Add to the above listi a countless host of small
petty larceny theives, about the Post Offices, and
in the various public stations under Locofoco State
Governments, our own Canal Commissioners, &c.
&c, and we shall be able to form some conception
of the amount that has been plundered without the
slightest shadow or pretension of claim from the
public Treasury, by those horror-stricken individ
uals who now throw up their hands in such ill
feigned alarm and astonishment at the payment of
a just claim, reported by their own officers.
We would urge upon those locofoco editors who
are now preaching up honesty with patriotic indig
nation at the contemplation of fraud upon the
treasury to look upon this list of locofoco plunder
ers, and proclaim it from the house tops, with the
vengence.of iheir long pent up and righteous in
dignation. Such a course would exhibit evidence
of repentance and a change. of heart altogether
necessary in them to carry conviction of sincerity
and principle to their readers. We shall expect
the Volunteer to present this list tp its readers,
with its usual amount of labored indignation and
emphatic denunciation'.
