MOUNTAIN SENTINEL, EBENSBURG, PA. THURSDAY. APRIL 4. ISiJO. FOR CONGRESS, GEN. JOSEPH M'DONALD, OF CAMBRIA COUNTY, Subject to the decision of the Democratic Con gressional Conference. HyTiiK ScNTixEt, has much the largest cir eulation 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 us cf this medium tor extending their business can do so by either sending their notices direct, or through the following agents; John Crouse, Esq., Johnstown. CFThc Pos: Office lias been removed to the Store Room formerly occupied by James Rhev, three doors cast of the Dia roond. CjtAs we have been unable to pay the usual attention to this number of our pa per, we beg the indulgence of our patrons. v e will cnueavor hereafter to make up for the deficiency. rpThc valuable letter of our kind cor. respondent at Harrisburg was received too late to appear in this number. It will be attended to in our next. GT We learn that a bill has passed both Houses of the Legislature, miking the Borough of Ebcnsburg a seperatc election district. ijf In another column will be found the m reported proceedings ot the great mass meeting which assembled at the Court IIous on Tuesday evening last. It was by far the largest meeting ever assembled in Ebensburg. Indeed its very density contributed to defeat one of the objects for which it was called. As will be seen, there was no expression relative to the Delegates to the Williamsport Convention; and the matter will we presume be submitted to the people for their decision through their delegates to a County Convention. But we have not time for any comments this week. We will defer them until our next. ryrhe bill erecting the new county of Snyder, out of parts of Cambria, Indiana, and Clearfield, passed the Home of Rep resentatives on Monday last. Death ol John V. Calhoun. Intelligence was received yesterday of the death cf the great champion of the South, John C. Calhoun. lie died at his residence in Washington City, on last Sunday morning, at ten minutes past sev en o'clock. None of his family but his son, was present. The following partic ulars we extract from the telegraphic des patch for the Pittsburg Post: Mr. Venable, of N. C, who occupied the next room, was called, and came in. Mr. Calhoun extended his hand. His eyes were very bright, and he was per fectly conscious, but he did not speak. Mr. Venable found he had no pulse, and poured out half a glass of Madeira, when Mr. C. raised his head and drank it, and then fell back upon his pillow. Mr. Orr and Mr. Wallace came in. When the A I r, . . uuur tiuscu, ;jr. turned his eves in that direction, and was perfectly conscious ot every thing that passed. He squeezed his son's hand convulsively; his lips mo ved, cl nis eyes were very expressive. His voice could not be heard, and when some one leaned over him as if to listen, he said. "I cannot speak." His breathing was very hard until five minutes before his death. One hand rested upon his breast, and he raised the other and placed it once or twice upon his head. Probably the last rush of blood pained him. When the breath left the body, it was like a long urawn cream, it was the last and all was over. He died as easy as an infant, and was perlectly conscious until the last spark or life had fled. His funeral will take place on Tuesday. The body will be placed in a metallic coffin and deposited in a vault in the Con gressional burying ground, where two of las children are buried, and will remain thrr; until the wishes of Mrs. Calhoun are known. Dr. Webster Convicted The trial of Dr. Webster charged with the murder of Dr. Parkman has been con cluded , and the jury in the case have ren dered a verdict of Guilty." The testi mony, Although circumstantial, elicited du. ring the -trial, was sufficient to satisfy the nv.r.d of almost any man as to the guilt of the accused. Thu vrrdict savs the PittsbV rest. is. a Md commentary upon present Here i a man of many year, who has gathered around him an interest ing family; a man of education and natu ral talent, who occupied a high place in community; a man who belongs to the 'higher circles'," and whose sons and daughters scorned to associate with the "lower" or "middle" classes this man, so situated, has been declared a murderer. A murderer for money; for it does not ap pear that he committed the fatal deed in a heat of passion. Here is a fact well suit ed to the study of the thinking men of the world. Crime it seems, does not alone belong to the children of poverty. Wick edness may sometimes, like consumption, lie dormant in a man, and be brought out in green old age. The following particulars of the close of the trial are interesting. "The galleries were crowded to excess. In about five minutes, Professor Webster came in,in charge of a constable, and took his seat in the dock. His appearance was unchanged, except a serious dejectedness, which was appa rent in the contraction of the muscles about his mouth. The court came in five min utes after. The Clerk of the Court then said, ad dressing the jur : "Mr. Foreman, have yon agreed upon your verdict?" Mr. Bryan, foreman of the jury, bowed assent. Clerk John W. Webster hold up your right hand. Prisoner rose and looked steadily and intently upon the foreman of the jury. Clerk Mr. Foreman look upon priso ner; prisoner look upon the jury. Professor Webster still maintained his fixed and intense look upon the foreman of the jury. . The Clerk continued What do you say, Mr. Foreman? Is the prisoner at the bar guilty or not guilty? "Guilty," was the solemn response. The hand of the prisoner which had hitherto been held erect fell to the bar in front of him with a dead sound as if he had lost all muscular action, and his head dropped upon his breast. He soon sat down, his to give evidence of failing. limbs seeming He then closed his eyelids and bowed his head down towards the Court. Mr. Ryan, the foreman of the jury, at the same time held his hand up before his eyes as if oveicomc by the painful duty he had performed. An awful and unbroken silence ensued. during which the Court Jury and Specta tors seemed to be absorbed in their own reflections. The appearance of the prisoner at this time was painful to contemplate. His eyes were closed, and a deep sigh denoted the load of inexpressable anguish on his soul, and the crushing blow that had fallen upon him. Chief Justice Shaw broke the awful si lence and suspense by dismissing the jury in a voice wild with emotion. Attorney General Clifford narrated the facts of indictment, trial and verdict, and moved the Court that final sentence now be passed. The prisoner arose and was asked by the clerk what he had to say why the sentence of Death should not be passed upon him. The prisoner bowed and took his seat in silence. Chief Justice Shaw then addressed him. In conclusion he said: "And now nothing remains but a solemn duty of pronouncing sentence which the law fixes for the crime of murder, of which you stand convicted, which sentence is, that you, John W. Webster, be removed from this place, and be detained in close custody in the prison of this county, and thence be taken at such time and place as the Executive Govern ment of this Commonwealth, may, by their warrant appoint, to place of execu tion, and then be HUNG BY THE NECK UNTIL YOU ARE DEAD; and may God in his infinite goodness have mercv on vour soul." From the N. O. Commercial Bulletin. The Nashville Convention. The indications still continue to become stronger daily, that the sectional conven tion, to be held at Nashville, will be a complete failure. Even in Mississippi, which was thought to be so zealous for it, the strongest kind of Union meetings are being held in different sections of the State, and the conduct of the Legislature as regards the appointment of delegates has been denounced as an unwarrantable assumption of power. In Virginia, the opposition to the convention is very gen eral and strong. In Texas, the feeling against it is overwhelming, and not a single county, so far as we have heard, has yet responded to the recdmmendation of the legislature to elect delegates. Many of the counties have refused even to vote on the question, and where the vote has been taken scarcely in one coun ty has there been twenty ballots cast in its favor. In Georgia, the Govenor's proclamation for the election of dele gates has been entirely unnoticed by the people, and in Columbus, we perceive, they had to call a small meeting to ap point the delegates, and recommended the same course should be adopted in th other counties. They are evidently un willing to submit the subjeclto the peo pie by a regnlat election, though so order ed by the legislature Ttnd the Governor's proclamation. In tii is State, the people are sound to the very coie, on tho subject of the Union and opposed to all sectional conventions The one .now proposed to be hald a shnile nas too many strong points of :md thc pol;.ica, fate 0ralllhuSe who may attend it, will probably be very similar. COUNTY MEETING. A tremendous meeting of the democra cy of Cambria county was held at the Court House, in Ebensburg, on Tuesday evening, the Second of April inst. pursu ant to a call of the County Committee. There could not have been less than one thousand persons present. On motion, Michael Hasson Esq', was called to the chair. Patrick Regan, Hon. Obed Edson, Col. John, M'Gough, John G. Given and James Farren, were appoin ted Vice Presidents, and Mathew M. Ad ams and James RitHo Secretaries. ; On motion, Gen. Joseph M'Donald ad dressed the meeting. At his suggestion, the chair appointed a committee of thir teen to draft a preamble and resolutions, expressive of the sense of the meeting. The chair appointed the following gen tlemen as the committee on resolutions viz: Joseph M'Donald, Thomas A. Maguire, John G. Given, John Kean, Peter Dough erty, John M'Mullin, James Carroll, James Potts, Michael M'Guire, Thomas Collins, James Myers, Patrick M'Coy, and James Smith. Thc commitee, through Major Thomas A. Maguire reported the folowing pream ble and resolutions, which were unani mously adopted. The Government of the United States was established by the People, has been protected and continued by them, and must be perpetuated by their power. It is emphatically a Government ofthe Peo ple, in which every citizen has a' voice, and exercises a proportionate share of sovereignty. It is this relation between the Government and the citizen that con stitutes a democracy, and so long as that connection exists, uncontrolled and un tramclled, so long will our free Institutions, based upon thc Constitution, adopted by the wisdom and foresight of the patriots of the Revolution, be maintained in their original purity. In all popular Governments there may occur criseses, in which the patriotism and virtue of the masses may be tested. As the heart in the human system sends forth the blood to its extremities, so do the people give life and character to our Government. When the existence of that Government formed by the popular will, is threatened when the well-being of the People demands an expression of their views, it is proper that they should assemble together and proclaim their re solves to the world, that their servants, to whom they have delegated legislative and executive powers, may be influenced and guided thereby. While this is not only the privilege but the duty of the whole People, it becomes the peculiar obligation of the Democratic party in its local organizations, to act promptly in all emergencies, and at such times as thc perpetuity of the Constitu tional Governmen; of the Country may be placed in jeopardy. It is mainly attribu table to the promulgation and' influence of the pure principles of LKlpocracy, mat our Government has stodti' thus long. That party has been a shield to the Con stitution, protecting it ironi innovation and subversion. Now. that"the American Union, formed by the joint exertions of the patriots of the Revolution, is menaced now, that the fiend spirit of disorganization stalks boldly forth through the land, and invokes the aid of traitors to subvert that Government under which we have grown to be the! proudest nation on which the sun shines, we, the Democracy of Cambria couuty.j composing an integral part of the great Democratic party of the nation, have as sembled to give expression to our feelings, our fears and our hopes,. in relerence to the great question of the Union of the States, and, at the same time, to speak our will on matters connected with the local interests of the party. Therefore, Resolved, That, in common with the great Democratic party of the nation, we hold it as a cardinal principle, to give strict construction to the National Consti tution, and that, as all power'not plainly delegated to the. General Government, re miins with the States, we are opposed to all innovations upon the rig&s of the States, and are favorable to protecting them individually in the enjoyment of the guarantees of that Constitution. ' Resolved, That the institution of sla very in the States is one of a local char acter, over which the States respectively have entire control, and with which the General Government can not interfere, without assumption of power not delegated in.the Constitution. 'Resolved, That we view the discussion ofthe abstract question of the Constitu tional power of Congress to prevent or permit Ihe existence ol slavery in tne ter ritories, as uncalled for and injurious in its tendency. "We view it as a matter of no importance to place restrictions upon States applying for admission, which re strictions are not required oy the Nation al Constitution, and which might be over come by State enactments after admission. Resolved, That we are favorable to the immediate admission of California with her Constitution as she has adopted it. Having complied with all the Constitu tional prerequisites, her right to admission can only be resisted by those who are deaf to the voice of patiiotism and callous to a sense of justice. Resolved. That in all? trials and under nil rircmnshnrM. the Democracy of. l & ww WW ml Pennsylvania will prove, true to the Amer ican Union. That while the entire party of the State give a fervent response to the motto, "may it be perpetual,' hone are more sincere than thc Democracy of "little Cambria." Resolved, That the Democracy of Cam - , bria county take advantage of the present) orcaion of renewing tlicir vow of fealty to the candidates and principles ofthe par ty, and that having assembled for the pur pose in part of appointing delegates to represent them in the Democratic Conven tion, to nominate a Canal Commissioner, which is to assemble at Wiliiamsport on the 29 of May next, we hereby pledge ourselves to abide the nomination there and then made, and to give it a candid and enthusiastic support. Resolved, That the democracy of Cam bria do most respectfully solicit the consid eration, on the part ot their brethren ofthe other counties composing this congression al district, ofthe claims of our county to the next candidate for Congress, and that fofthe purpose of presenting this subject to the counties of Westmoreland and'Bed- ford, the chair apppoint a committee of five to take charge of it, and to use such means as to them may seem advisable for accomplishing the object in view. ' .Resolved, That be Congessional Conferees, to meet the Conferees, appointed by the democracy of w estmoreiand and by that ot liedford, at such time and place, as may be by them determined upon, and that our Conferees be instructed to use all honorable means to secure the nomination of of Cambria county, as the next democratic candidate for Congress. Resolved, That be the representative delegate to represent the de mocracy of Cambria county in the Will iamsport convention, for nominating a Ca nal Commisioner, to assemble on the 29th of May next. Resolved, That the thanks of this mee ting are hereby tendered to the democracy of Indiana county, for the just appreciation of the rights of Cambria county in the se lection of a Senatorial delegate to represent this Senatorial district in the Williamsport convention, they, by the resolution, adop ted at their meeting at court week, having ratified in advance, the nomination that may be made by Cambria. Resolved, That of this county, be recommended as Senatorial delegate in the Williamsport convention, and that, as Indiana has already endorsed it, the democracy of Clearfield county be respectfully requested to give it their sanc tion; and that the Chairman of this meet ing be requested to communicate this res olution to the democracy of Clearfield ac- jfompaningjt.with the resolution adopted by the democracy of Indiana. Resolved, That we view with admira tion the course of our estimable Congress man, Hon. Job Mann. He has realized the expectation of his warmest friends, and, by his undeviating adherence to, and inflexible support of democratic principles in the Congress of the Nation, he has en deared himself to the democracy of this Congressional district in general, and to that of Cambria county in particular. His unwavering: devotion to the carse of citizen soldiers, as manifested in his ardu ous efforts to procure them their justjde mands on the National Treasury, is living evidence that his heart is in the right place. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meetirg be published in the "Mountain Sentinel" of Ebensburg, the "Mountain Echo" of Johnstown, and the "Democrat ic Union" and "Keystone" at Harrisburg. On motion of James Carroll, the blank in resolution relative to the nomination of a candidate for Congress was filled by inserting the name of Gen. Joseph Mc Donald of Cambria county. On motion of Col. John Kean, the blank in the resolution relative Congessional con ferees, was filled up, by inserting the names of Michael Hasson, M. M. Adams and Thomas Collins Esqs. On motion, Thomas A. Maguire, M. M. Adams, Thomas Colhns, James Riffle, John M'Ginley and John B. Hoover were appointed tellers to lake a vote on the se lection of delegates to the State conven tion. There existing a diversity of opinion as to the selection of delegates to the Will iamsport convention, and, it being impos sible to obtain a fair and correct expres sion as to the choice of said delegates, owing to the immense crowd present, the meeting was adjourned sine die, with the recommendation of the chair, that the de mocracy of the county should assemble in their respective townships, and elect two delegates from each, to meet in county convention at Ebensburg, and then and there determine upon the choice of dele gates to the Williamsport convention. M. HASSON, Chairman. M. M. Adams, Secretary. From the St. Paul (Min.)Chron., March 2. Interesting from Mine sola. The Hudson Bay Company Depreda tion on the Red River Frontier. On Tuesday last, two voyageurs ar rived from Pembina, by means of a dog train, making the trip through in eigh teen days. They brought considerable of a mail, and from numerous letters for warded by the trader of the American Fur company at that remote post, N. W. Kiitson.Esq., and others, we are enabled to glean the followig interesting news: The Hudson's Bay company still con tinue their aggressions on the American side ofthe line Two of their emissaries, Charles Grant and Geo. Flap, are tra ding within our territories without lice.ise, and others are making preparations for the same purpose. Flap was implicated in the transaction which took place last summer on the plains, between the half breeds and Indians, and which was nigh causing the murder of several of the lat ter, owing to the sale of liquor, which had been brought into the country by him and his associates. Grant procures nearly all the goods used in his trade di rectly from the Hudson Biy company. lie also uses liquor in the trade, which! he also procures from the same quarter.! I bus the legitimate trade ot American a : : i . -. i citizens vn nmciiuiw auw is uoi oiuy brought into competition with the capital and influence of that powerful foreign monopoly, but the damnable aid of ardent spirits is called into requsition to assist its agents in their acts of aggression and usurpation. If a check be not put to these proceedings by, the strong arm cfi our government, our traders will be com pelied to abandon their business in that quarter, fcour northern frontier will, ere long, witness a scene'of blood and carnage revolting to humanity and the age In which we live. There is no reason whatever to suppose the persons named above have come upon our territory with intention of becoming citizens. Grant is the son of one of the Royal company's magistrates a man who has taken every occasion to abuseand oppress our citizens and the son is not unlike the father. The settlement within our borders has been increased by the addition of several familiesrom the Selkirk settlementsince last summer, und several more are making preparations to immigrate in the spring, j ftlajor Wood s visit to Pembina last sum mer has given confidence to manj-, ofthe future support and protection of our gov ernament; but the officials on the other side are industrious in promulgating opin ions that the only security for their lives and property is to remain where they are. It is, therefore, absolutely necessary, if our government intends to encourage settlement on that frontier, that a suffi cient force should be sent into thc coun try without delay, to put a stop to the continual aggressions from the neighbor ing colony of Great Britain Most ofthe Indians to the east of Pem bina, owing to the disappearance of the game from their winter grounds, and the failure of their corn and rice, were in a state of starvation. Mr. Kittson was doing his utmost to relieve them; but it was so difficult, in the winter season, to transport provisons into their country, that he was fearful he could accomplish but little. To the west they were living in abundance, as the plains were cover d with buffalo. Information has been received at Pem bina, that the Mandan tribe of Indians on the Missouri, which it will be remem bered, was greatly reduced, a few years since, by the ravages of the small pox, is now threatened with entire extinction by theJSioux. Every day one or two fall victims to tne cruelty of their unrelenting enemies. The Mandans are desirous that the government should interpose, and check these bloody incursions into their country. Heavy Steamboat Bobbery. The St. Louis Ujxion of the 22d ult. contains an'advertisejnent, signed John Grigsby, a citizen of California, and David F. McClellan, of Jackson Co., Mississippi, offering reward of 83000for the recovery of a sum of money, about $12,000, which was stolen from the steamer Ne Plus Ultra on Tuesday the 12th inst., ofjSll, 400 in money. They were passengers on the boat on their return from California. The robbery was perpetrated, probably whilst the boat was lying at the Levee at New Orleans, but was not discovered until an hour after she had left port for St. Louis. The money was m a trunk in their state room, which was broken open with a chisel, fc the monej' extract, ed.since which time nothinghas traspired that would lead to its recovery. Messrs. Grigsby and McClellan came passengers in the Georgia to Havanna; in the jSvon to Mobile, and reached New Orleans only a few hours previous to their starting for for St. Louis. At New Orleans they exchanged their gold dust for gold, principally, 'consisting of A me ican Eagles and Sovereigns, and with it took passage with other returning emigrants for St. Louis, on the Ne Plus Ultra. Ofthe money lost 8G.100 belonged to Mr. Grigsby, the Tesidue to Mr. Mc Clillan. The Lakes. The entire line of lake coast is two thousand miles.

"We are not to wait," said Mr. W , ster, in one of his noblest speeches t;n i .... puouc miscuiels come; till the env. ernmentis overthrown; or liberty itself put m extreme jeopardy." These 'striking axioms, spoken years ago, upon a great national question, may well be applied to the frequent attempts to overthrow authority of the Federal Constitution-L the fundamental law of the Republic. W0 see, in one section of the Countrv. atical party assailing that - Constitution with the utmost violence. We see a pro posal made, in another quarter, to amend the Constitution, (or the purpose of carry ing into effect an absurd theory. And, "in our very midst, there are not wanting those who boldly assert, that a law passed in a moment of indiscretion, directly in violation of the Constitution, cannot and dare not be repealed. Truly is it the duty of those who believe that that sacred in strument is the bond that unites these States together, and the vital spirit that keeps Liberty itself alive, to rally in support. One of the most fearful elem - wa have yet been displayed in hostility to th federal Constitution, is that of calling upon the general Government to expend mil lions of dollars in works of internal im provements tmong the several States. It is wholly without Constitutional authority, and must Jead at last to mighty public evils, if not to a wide-spread and over whelming national bankruptcy. The first serious breach, upon the barriers which the universal opinion of the framers ofthe Constitution had for more than thirty years thrown in the way of the assump tion of this power by Congress, was du ring the administration of John Quincy Adams. It is true some trifling appropri ations were made during the term of Mr. Monroe, though he entertained and ex pressed the opinion, that Congress had no power, under the Constitution, to "adopt and execute a system of internal improve ments." Within ten years from the first grant of public money to such purposes, more than two hundred millions of dol lars were asked for from the National Treasury, for the purpose of internal im provements. In 1830, the heroic Jackson threw himself into the breach, to arrert the tide of demoralization which threaten ed to sweep away the strongest safe guartls ofthe Constitution, and to whelm the na tion in one sea of debt. He was sustaned by the amplest and most irrefragable au thorities. President Jefferson denied that congress possessed such power .as is claimed for it by the advocates of internal improvements by the general government. In 1806, in a message to Congress, he proclaimed the opinion, which he re-affirmed in 1825, that in order to apply the funds of the general government to the purpose alluded to, would require an amendment of the Constitution by the consent ofthe States, "because the objects now recommended are not among those enumerated in the Constitution, and to which it permits the public money to be applied." President Madison, in his message of March 2. 1817, declared that the power to regulate commerce amonjr the several States cannot include a power to construct roads and canals, and to im prove the navigation of water courses, in order to facilitate, promote, and secuie such commerce, without a latitude of con struction departing from the ordinary im port of the terras, strengthened by thf known inconveniences which doubtless led to the grant of this remedial power to Congress." President Monroe, in hii message, 4th of May, 1822, declares, that in all the measures preliminary to the adoption of the Federal Constitution, the subject of internal improvements by thc General Government, was not "mentioned or even glanced at." "It is manifest," he says, "that the regulation of trade with the several States was altogether a secon dary object." "If the power necessary to this system of improvement is included, under either branch of this grant, I should suppose it was the first rather than the second. The pretension to it, however, under that branch, has never been set up. In support of the second, no reason has been assigned, which appears to have the least weight." Every sound Democrat will remember with Tpleasure, the noble veto ol Jame K. Polk, of the river and harbor bill, ni to Congress on the 15th of December, 1847. He was denounced for it vehe mently by the entire opposition, and by certain Democrats, who had made up their minds to obtain bounties from the public treasury for their particular interests. We command the following powerlul passages from that able State paper, to all thos who are now invited to participate in us movement got up to bleed the public trea sury out of untold millions, for the con struction of a railroad almost without end, and over a route which is not generally regarded as practicable: "How forcibly does tho history ot inn subject illustrate the tendency of power to concentration in the hands ot the i.enerai Government. The power to Improve their own harbors and rivers wag clearly reserved to the States, who were to be aided by tonnage duties levied and collect ed by themselves, with the consent of Congress. For thirty-four years, im provements were carried on under that system, and so careful was Congress not to interfere, under any implied power, with the soil or jurisdiction of the States, that they did not even assume the por to erect light-houses or build piers, with out first purchasing the ground, with tne pnnsrnl of thr States, and obtaining Jurl!" diction over it. At length, after the laps of thirty-three years, an act is passed pro viding for the examination of certain ob structions at the mouth of one or two hsr
