DTh Scnti.vel, has much the largest cir
culation of any paper published in this county
and at an advertising sheet offers superior
inducements to merchants and business men
generally. Those desirous of making use of
this medium for extending tneir business can
do so by either sending their notices direct, or
through the following agents:

29th of January, 1850, at 3 o'clock P. M.,
for the purpose of fixing the time and
place for the meeting of the next Demo

the matter for the present.
This settles
EFThe Ohio Senate appears to be in
as bad a fix as the National House of Rep
resentatives. At the latest dates they
were unable to organize, and no prospect
of effecting that object soon. The difli.
culty appears to be the same as last year
the Hamilton district which has sent
two sets of members.
Morris fc Willis' "Home Journal' is
decidedly one of the best papers printed
in New York or any other place. You
never find any thing in its columns that
is either stale or flat, but on the contrary
its columns are always filled with articles
graceful amusing and instructive. We
are much indebted to the publishers for an
exchange for we would not be without it
for twice the amount of its subscription
price, two dollars a year.
Closing the Canals.
The Board of Canal Commissioners of
Pennsylvania have issued orders to draw
off the water from the Canals on this day.
Notwithstanding the great drawback to
transportation sustained by the State and
transporters during the summer season in
consequence of the lowness of waters, we
learn that the receipts of the State from
her improvements, exceed those of last
year by some seventy thousand dollars.
bCOTT S CEKLY PAPER COffles to US
in an entirely new dress, considerably en
larged, and its general appearance very
much improved. It is now, we believe,
the largest paper published in Philadcl
phia, and the taste and ability displayed in
its columns arc not eclipsed by any other
literary journal in the state. It is a valua
ble family newspaper, and we are glad to
see that Scott is receiving that extensive
patronage which his enterprise and energy
so eminently merit.
C7Will the editors of the Johnstown
Aeirs inform us how far it is from Eb-
ensburg to the town of Jefferson, and ac
company the information with the ac
knowledgement that he lied in his last
week's paper? He knows, or he ought to
know, that it is only seven miles from this
place to Jefferson, and yet he has the au
dacity to state that the nearest possible
point of the line of the contemplated new
county to Ebensburg, is from eight to ten
miles. The boundary of the proposed
new county must run in a north-west di
rection from the point designated on the
Railroad in order to strike the waters of
the Blacklick, and mu9t of course, run a
considerable distance this side of Jefferson,
which makes the JVcics' assertion a still
greater violation of truth. Come out,
then, and acknowledge the corn like men,
and do not permit your anxiety to get a
jail in Johnstown to destroy your ideas of
truth altogether.
OCTlt is said that there are one bun
dred professional thieves at this time quar
tered in Pittsburg and Allegheny citie3.
These rogues must meet with some fine
pickiug occasionally in erder to sustain
themselves.
Another Difficnlty with England.
It will be seen by the intelligence from
Nicaragua which we publish in this paper,
that we are in a fair way of getting into
another difficulty with Great Britain about
the Mosquito Shore. Inaeed from the
rumpus that appears to have been kicked
up we may come to blows with old ' Eng.
land as soon as the most warlike of our
citizens can possibly desire. In addition
to the intelligence which wc publish in
another column, we have received the
proclamation of the Ministry of Honduras
relative to the recent British outrages. It
is a well written document, and confides
in the American Government for an ad
justment of the wrongs which that country
has suffered at the hands of the British
usurper. The following are the conclu
ding paragraphs of the proclamation:
The President of the Republic, in his
note to the Consul upon these claims, of
the 15th of June last, not only showed
that they were, many of them, destitute of
foundation, but also desired that a person
should be appointed in order to verify them
and settle the affair in a just and amicable
manner. In spite of this just and reason
able proposition, pretexts have now been
made to attack us, to occupy our soil, and
to insult us, resorting to violence, making
an exhibition of power, trampling under
foot the most sacred rights of a free people,
profiting of our weakness and inability to
meet face to face the tyrant of the ocean.
People of Honduras! Notwithstanding
our own want of means to resist with ef
fect, and to defend the integrity of our
soil and the dignity of our Government,
yet we need not submit to the unjust and
violent conduct which oppresses us; for the
Star-Spangled Banner will be unfurled in
our seas to assist us to vindicate our rights
and rescue us from insults. Yes, that
bright flag, resplendent with glory, backed
by immense power, will be our guaranty
in virtue of solemn treaties, and has gen
erously pledged itself to aid us. The
identity of our principles, and the fact that
we are children of the same continent, is a
band of union with that great Power, Let
us, then, confide in her resources, under
the bo..Jd which unite our interests. Loner
ive Republican governments! Long live
the illustrious descendants of the immortal
Washington!
I he Ministry of the Government of
Ionduras, at Teguagalpa, October 21,
1819.
J. MARIA MONADA.
ITT'TIie Jury in the case of the Spanish Con-
sul who was accused of kidnapping youix
Key and carrying him off to Cuba, have refused
to find a bill against him. It seems there was
uo evidence on which to convict the Spanish
Consul. What a large amount of patriotic
feeling and indignation have been thrown away
in behalf of young Rey.to no purpose.
Congress.
This body has notjyct organized, They
have now been balloting for a Speaker of
the House for more than two weeks and
were at the latest dates further from an
election than when they commenced.
During the past eight or ten days consid
erable excitement prevailed, and some of
the members on one or two occasions rot
to calling each other hard names, but the
feelings of members appear now to have
moderated, and they begin to view the
want of a Speaker in about the same light
the old woman did marriage, as being
nothing when tl.ey got used to it. The
House w ill, in all probability remain in
this position until after the hollidays,
when the members will be more anxious
to proceed to business, and the necessity
of electing a Speaker will present itself
more forcibly to their minds than it does
at present. The idea of wasting a thous
and dollars a day of the people's money
in their jangling for a Speaker does no1
appear to disturb their cosciences in the
least.
On one 'occasion, Wm. J. Brown, a
democratic member from Indiana, receiv
ed 112 votes, being within two of the
number required to elect, and his pros"
pects seemed very flattering. But before
another ballot was taken, an inquiry was
made relative to certain pledges which he
had made to the free soilers, which knocked
his prospects of an election into a three
cocked hat. Neither party hasa nominee,
but every man votes as he thinks proper.
On Saturday last, Mr. Boyed, democrat,
from Kentucky, and Mr. Stanley, whig,
of North Carolina, were the most promi
nent candidates, but neither received the
entire vote of his party. Mr. Boyd had
SO votes, Mr. Stanley 66, and Mr. Scat
tering 72.
The patience of the Senate, however,
appeals to be exhausted, and they are de
termined to proceed to business whether
the House organizes or not. On Satur
day last, Mr. Berrien offered a resolution
for the appointment of a committee to in
form the President that the Senate was
organized and ready to receive executive
communications, which resolution was
adopted forthwith. The committee was
appointed, who waited on the. President,!
who informed them that he would scud
a communication to the Senate on Mon
day. We have intelligence to the evening of Mon
day last, and to show our readers how nutters
stand in the House we give the four ballotings
on that day.

Johnstown and Ebensburg.
The Johnstown Echo in its remarks in
favor of the new county says in relation
to the conduct of the citizens of Ebens
burg, that "heretofore in all the relations
of life, whether social, political or other
wise, they have entertained feelings of the
most vindictive contempt for our citizensj
and have used every device those feelings
could invent to retard the progress of our
people, and the interests of this portion of
the county." We must confess that we
are totally at fault in our knowledge of the
grievances of which our friend Smith com
plains. We cannot call to our recollec
tion a single instance in which the citizens
of Ebensburg have manifested toward
t hose of Johnstown, any such feeling or
conduct that he has unjustly, we think,
attributed to them, and we would like to
see Mr. Smith coming out boldly before
the public, and letting them know in plain
terms the wrongs which Johnstown or that
portion of the county have suffered at the
hands of Ebensburg, rather than attempt
ing to create a sympathy in their favor by
making assertions which we believe have
nom foundation m truth. Our southern
friends must admit that they have always
been well represented in the county offi
ces, and that whenever an attempt has
been made to raise a question between the
north and the south, it has always origina
ted among themselves. Will Mr. Smith
let us know in plain terms what are his
grievances, so that we may no longer be
kept in the dark, relative to a matter of
which we are so profoundly ignorant?
We know that there are men, whose love
of excitement is paramount to every other
feeling, who are ever ready to jump into
the advocacy of every new movement, no
matter how absurd or ridiculous it may be,
and perfectly regardless of the consequen
ces or the difficulties it may create. And
we are disposed to think that this move
ment in favor of a new county, has origi
nated in a feeling of this kind, and has
been started by men who care as little
about the welfare of Cambria county in
general, as they do about a counterfeit
copper.
How the Suspicions Yanish-
The Boston Herald of Saturday has the
following. (It is to be remembered that
the Herald has been the foremost to pub
lish suspicions of Professor Webster's
guilt.)
A man by the name of Cobb, living in
Pleasant street, and who knows llr. Park
man well, says that he met Dr. Parkman
on the common at half past two o clock.
on Friday afternoon, the 23d ult., when
Dr. Parkman was last seen, and is willing
to swear that it was him and no one else
that he saw on that day; and that it was
at no other day or hour that he saw him
This evidence will go to show that Dr
Parkman, if he went into the Medical Col
lege at half past -one o'clock on the day
alluded to, must have come out again, and
may account for the finding of his hat on
one of the wharves the day that he was
missing. There are also many others
who will swear that they saw Dr. Park
man on the afternoon of Friday, the 23d
of November.
The State of Deseret.
There is a delegation in Washington
from the Mormon settlement, at the Salt
Lake, in Oregon, whose chief design is
to secure, if possible, the admission
Deseret into the Union as a State. From
the showing of the delegates themselves
thev have not to exceed 20,000 inhaitants
upon the area of territory they seek to
have brought into the Union as a otate
They could propably secure an act giving
them an organization as a territorial gov
ernment, and this has been suggested to
them by a number of members of con
gress. One of the delegates states that
from twelve to fourteen thousand emi
grants will leave Europe this winter in
time to cross the country for Deseret by
the opening of the 'spring, and that they
have all embraced the Mormon faith.

For the Sentinel.
Tariff Dalies and Protection.
No. 2.
Every dollar that is levied on foreign
importsenablesthe domestic manufacturer
to add a like sum to the price of his man
ufactured article, and this must be extorted
from the labor of the consumer, and given
as a tribute to the domestic manufacturer.
For example, the tax on imports, paid by
the people of this country, for the year
1848, amounted to 631,757,070. Now
supposing our domestic manufactures to on
ly have equaled the imports (though in fact
they were much more) then we have a tax
to the amount above stated levied on our
domestic manufactures, and paid by the
farmers, mechanics and laborers of the
country to manufacturing capitalists for
what they are pleased to call protection.
And yet they protest that this is not half
enough and call loudly for the restoration
of the tariff of 1842, by which instead of
the above amount, more than one hundred
millions of dollars would have been rob
bed from the labor of the country, to pam
per the inordinate avarice of a few privil
eged capitalists.
This is called protecting American in
dustry, and we are told that without thus
wronging every other interest, to pamper
our manufactures they cannot compete
with those of other countries.
Let us analyze this humbug. Before
the revolutionary war, manufactures were
restricted in this country and in many cases
actually prohibited by statutes enacted in
the parliament of England, and yet they
could, and did progress and prosper, and
rom that time to the present, we may
search the history of the world in vain for
a parallel to the progress which our manu
facturing establishments have made. Now
during all this time, there has not been
more than eight years continuance of a
aw which our capitalists are willing to
honor with the name of a protective tariff
aw. The question then is, how have we
been enabled to compete with foreign labor
and at the same time, make such an unex
ampled progress?
1 o this we answer, first; that we have
been an industrious and enterprising peo
ple. Secondly, we have an inexhausta-
ble source of mineral wealth, and a climate
and soil in every way fitted for the exer
cise of our industry, and lastly, we have
every species of material necessary for
manufacturing, without having to purchase
it abroad, as other nations have to do; and
with these advantages, no nation on the
ace of the earth can compete with us no
matter what other advantages they may
lave.
Ah! but then "the pauper labor of Eu
rope, here is the mighty bugbear, v e
are told that the dense population of Eu
rope, makes labor so much cheaper there
than it is here; and with the same breath
we are told that we must have a high pro
tective tariff, or we will have nothing for
our numerous laborers to do. In other
words, -we must have a high protective
tariff to create laborers, to do our work,
and we must also have a high protective
tariff, to create work, or we will have
nothing for our laborers to do. Here is
a flat and most ludicrous contradiction,
the premises of which in neither case is
true.
If European manufacturers with their
laborers to work, they must feed them, or
they will not be able to work, and this is
all that our American employers do, or
ever intend to do, and if we compare the
ruddy cheeks and robust appearance of
the European laborers who come to this
country, with toilworn skeletons of some
of our native laborers, we will be led to
believe that the former have had vastly
the the advantage. If a farmer throws a
quantity of food to his pigs, or his poultry
more than thev are able to consume he
very natnrally considers the overplus was
ted, and precisely the same is the case
with an American manufacturer, if he hap
pens to give his laborer more than he can
eat and ware, he looks upon it as wasted,
from the principle cherished by all capital
ists, that a man who has no capital ought
not to clear any thing.
Now the Europeans have to purchase a
great part of the food for their laborers, at
the present from the United States. How
then can they feed their laborers cheaper
than we can ours? It would bother Hen
ry Clay himself to answer this question.
1 his matter will be treated of at length in
a future number.
All who have paid any attention to the
progress of this country, must have ob
served, that men who have engaged in the
manufacturing business with a capital suf
ficient to sustain them, have accumulated
wealth in a degree far exceeding that
gained by any other industrial pursuit.
Men who thus engage, particularly in the
iron business soon monopolize all the lands
around them. Their possessions spread
like wild-fire, and in a few years they are
surrounded by an enslaved tenantry, simi
lar to the feidal lords of Europe, whose
extravagance, and empty pomposity they
try to imitate with the most mean and sla
vish servility. This they can do without
any protection at all, and yet they have the
grave affrontery to tell us that they cannot
carry on business, or give employment to
laborers, without a tariff to tax labor at the
rate of 70 or 100 per cent., for their espi
cial beefit.
In reply to this however we are referr
ed to the cases of some who engaged in
these branches of business and fail for
want (as i t is pretended) of the protection
to enable them to succeed. If the misman
age ment, profligacy and extravagance o
every individual, is to be remedied by tar
iff laws, then indeed may the veriest spend
thrift in the country demand laws of Con
gress to tax labor and industry for the pur
pose of supplyiug his squanderings and to
make him rich in spite'of his profligacies.
.. Airain: men are flattered by the prospect
of making immediate fortunes by the aid of
bank credit and protective duties, ana em
bark in business far beyond their means
and this must inevitably bring ruin on
themselves and all connected with them.
A man by this means places himself in a
dilemma from which it is impossible for
him to extricate himself without injuring
the community around him. He must
either defraud his laborers out of their
wages to supply his want of means, or he
must suffer himself to bieak, bringing ruin
on all dependent on his business. This
feature alone is sufficient to condemn the
protective policy in the eyes of every true
friend of the permanent prosperity of the
country.
JUSTICE.
Important from Honduras High-Handed pro
ceedings of British Agents.
Correspondence of the N. Y. Express.
Leox de Nicaragua,
Nov. 8, 1819.
The British have been committing some
new outrage in this part of the world;
and as a consequence, Central America is
in a high state of excitement. Mr. Chat
field, as the agent of the British Govern
ment, arrived at the Gulf of Fonseca on
the 16th of Oct., and immediately took
possession of the Island of Tigre, 4in the
name of the British Queen.'
This was done under the cover of an
armed force, with cannon and all the pomp
and circumstance of war. The flag of
Honduras was, by his order, torn down,
and that of England run up and saluted.
This is not all. A Superintendent was
by him appointed, and a new order of
Government established.
I learn that Mr. Squier, "our Minister,
who has been very prompt in the dis.
charge of his duties, at once dispatched a
messenger to Chatfield, telling him that
the Island of Tigre had been ceded to the
United States, and that under the circum
stances, he had no doubt that he (Chat
field) would immediately order its evacu
ation. Chatfield, replied, it is said, on
the following day, acknowledged the re
ceipt of our Minister's letter, and declar
ing that Honduras had no right to cede
any portion of her territory, because, first,
she had not even the right to a national
existence! And, secondly, he is under
stood to have said, that she had no right
to dispose of the Island of Tigre, because
he (Chatfield) had intimated his intention
of placing a lien upon the Island!
Chatfield, I learn, has writen a second
letter to our Minister, declining to evacuate
the Island, but promising to submit the
question to Her Majesty's Government.
This was on the 1st of November instant.
Since when Mr. Squier, it is reported all
arouud, no doubt correctly, ha demanded
that the Island snould be evacuated with
in six days.
All the islands of the Gulf, belonging to
Honduras and San Salvador, have also
been seized; also the ports of Truxillo and
Moro. These high-handed measures have
been taken to prevent the spread of Amer
ican opinion, and the emigration of Amer
ican people to the Pacific. The people
of Honduras feel that they have been
wronged, notwithstanding which they
have offered to submit all the claims of
the British to commissioners; and have
pledged themselves to abide by the result.
But this reasonable request has been met
with no sort of notice.
The catalogue of abuses does not end
here. San Salvador also received a sum
mons, requiring her, at 24 hours notice,
to yield to certain insolent demands made
by the Britisn agent, to which the reply
was that they were unjust, and could not
be complied with; whereupon the ports of
Acajuhla and La Union, with all the coast
of San Salvador on the Bay, were taken
possession of in the name of the Queen.
write this amid great excitement, and the
arming of the States, which have pretty
nearly agreed upon a plan of union.
Manning, who betraTed his Govern
ment in England, has been seeking to
make his own Government negotiate a
disreputable treaty. The Director here
told him, that the first article ot such a
treaty must be the evacuation of the Mos
quito coast and the port of San Juan by
the British. The treaty made by Man
ning in England will not be ratified, ex
cept upon compulsion.
I he whole country is deeply excited,
and ready to take up arms against the
lintish Government.
Sir Joha Franklin.
Sir John Richardson, in his official ac
count of the proceedings of his own over
land expedition, gives the following opin
ion as to the resources of bir. John Frank
lin, in case of provisions falling short:
"Deer migrate over the ice in the spring
trom the main shore to V ictoria and v ol-
laston lands in large herds, and return in
the autumn. These lands are also the
breeding places of vast flocks of snow
geese; so that, with ordinary skill in hunt
ing, a large supply of food might be procu
red on their shores in the months of June,
July, and August. Seals are also numer
ous in those seas, and are easily shot, their
curiosity rendering them a ready prey to
a boat party. In these ways and by fish
ing, the stock of provisions might be great
ly augmented. And we have the recent
example of Mr. Rae, who passed a severe
winter on the very barren shores of Ke-
pulse Bay, with no other fuel than the
withered turfs of a herbaceous andromeda,
and maintained a numeious party on the
spoils of the chase alone for a whole
year. Such instances forbid us to lose
hope. Should Sir John Franklin's provi
sions become so far reduced as to be inad
equate to a winter s consumption, it is not
likely that he would remain longer by nj,
ships, but rather that in one body, or in
several, the officers and crews, with boats
cut down so as to be light enough to dra
over the ice, or built expressly for tfca,
purpose, would endeavor to make their
way eastward to Lancaster Sound, or
southward to the main land," accQrding t0
the longitude in which the ships were ar
rested." Capt. Sir James Ross has Duhli.hl .

jesty's ships Enterprise and Investigator.
under his command, between the date of
his last dispatch to the Secretary of the
Admiralty, from Uppernavick, in July
1848, and the arrival of the expedition off
ocarDorougn, .on the aa instant. Both
ships (the Investigator and Enterprise)
wintered in Port Leopold, where the party
suffered more than usual, partly front de
pression of spirits on account of their warn
of success. Here many white foxes were
caught alive jn traps, and were set at lib
crty again when copper collars had been
fixed round their necks, on which collars
were engiaved notices of the position of
the ships, and of various depots of provis
ions carefully made at different points
of the coast, for the benefit of Sir John
Franklin's party. Some of these four
footed messengers may yet, it is hoped
convey intelligence to the lost explorers
which may be of r se to them in extremity.
In the spring a detachment of men, com
manded by Sir John Ross, traversed the
ice as far as lat. 72 38' north, and long.
95 40' west, where, from a high pen
insula of land, they had a view for a great
distance, but without peceiving any indica
tion of Sir John Franklin.
He expresses the belief that Sir Joha
Franklin must have penetrated so far be
yond Melville Island as to p refer seeking
assistance on the continent of America to
any that could be afforded by whaleshipi
in Baffins Bay. Boston Alias.
Report of the Secretary of the Interior.
A Washington letter to the New York
Tribune says:
The report of the secretary of the in
terior, with the commissionei's report,
will exhibit an immense fund of "useful
information for the public, and will con
tain recommenations that will command
universal approbation. The latter State
paper, I learn, shows that the whole art
of the public lands, ever held by the gov
ernment of the United States, from its
organization to that acquired under tha
treaty of 1S4S with Mexico, is equal to
fifteen hundred and eighty-four million
acres. 1 hat this vast aomain, but one
hundred and forty six millons of acres
have thus far been disposed of, leaving
yet unsold, and as the property of the U.
States, FOURTEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY
EIGHT millions of acres of land. lis
recommends in view of the subject, that
an additional donation for school purposes
besides the sixteenth section, be made bv
congress to each township a recommen
dation that will find a hearty response m
the bosom of every friend of education
throughout our wide-spread land. , An
other recommendation which I learn is
urged by the commissioner in his report
is, that suitable rewards should be held out
by the general government, for improve
ment in the important branches of agri
cultural as well as the arts and sciences.
The Intellect ts. The Heart.
JMoral of the Boston Murder. The
Boston 1 raveller, commenting on the at-
trocious murder of Dr. Parkman says ia
reference to the accused Dr. v ebster:
It is more in sorrow than in anger that
this case is now regarded; and the Chris
tian sympathy, which a correspondent in
vokes, is not lacking.
bhould the general suspicion unhappily
prove true, what a lesson to the intellectu
al pride of man will the tragedy convey:
What a rebuke to that educational system,
which would elevate in public esteem the
knowledge of the head above the wisdom
of the heart! Here 'is a man, it will be
said, connected with the first institution of
learning in the land, who with all his sci
ence and his cultivated tastes for literature
and artpossessed not the safeguard against
evil, which, the veriest child, who has
been taught to lisp the Lord's prayer, car
ries with him into his daily walks! Though
all the treasures of human knowledge are
in our possession, what beggars we are,
without the faith, compared with which,
all these treasures are but vanity and vex
ation of spirit.
Later from Santa fir-
St. Locis, Dec. 11.
Dates from Santa Fe, to the 30th Oct.,
have been received at this place, which
brings farther accounts of Indian depreda
tions. The troops had taken five Apa
chese prisoners', who had been offered in
exchange for Mrs. White and daughter.
Mr. Aubry had also offered, in addition,
the sum of one thousand dollars.
Information had been received that
thirty-six California emigrants had recent
ly been killed by the Indians, near the
Copper Mines. The iroops stationed at
El Paso, had started in pursuit oi the ene
my; but, at last accounts, had not met
with them. Three Mexicans had been
killed at El Paso, on the 6th of October,
and several others were reported to have
been murdered near Santa Fe. The In
dians were daily committing fresh depre
dations, and had become quite hosme w
the emigrants. Dates from Cmhuanua,
to the 30th of September, represent the
cholera as raging fearfully at that place.
Not less that 75 to 100 deaths were oc
curring daily. A new Fort, called Fort
Barkey, had been established the Mow
river; and Lieut. Simpson had. selected a
site for a fort in Navajo county.
