A Tallt wltla Mordeoul.
On last Saturday morning, about 10 o'clock,
we ob.crvcd our old friend Mordecai passing the
window of our sanctum, and, as we flit rather
lonesome, "ftxTcsolved to call him in and have a
little 'friendly talk with him. Although not
much of a scholar, his conversation is often very
Interesting, and while that he says displays strong
practical common sense, it is uttered with the
'honest ienplicity of a child. A gentle tap on the
window sufficed to arrest his attention, and in a
moment he stood before us. After passing the
compliments of the morning, we requested the
old gentleman to be seated. "I declare," .said
be, as he deposited a huge mouthful of cavendish
in the stove, and helped himself to a frech quid,
"I declare I think I am -a doomed man this bles
sed forenoon. I have just made my escape from
the sanctum of the editor of the Mountaineer,
And tore I find myself located in your den."
"Verily, friend Mordecai," said we, "1 thought
you had been in a different place. Be good
enough to pardon me, but I really thought when
you entered that you were a little to happy and
a little too weak in the knees, to have just made
your exit from an editor's sanctum." "Permit
me," said Mordecai, to explain. Your neigh
tor, as .you r.re wont to style bim, called me into
Ida -sanctum this morning, gave me a friendly
tbake of the hand, and iten asked me if I would
not take a nip. I o!d him I had no objections.
By the way. Sir. Editor, I am at a loss to ac
count for this sudden ontburst of friendship to
wards roe on the part of your neighbor. I
recollect he took a particular liking for mc about
this time last year, but be very unexpectedly
gave me tlie cold shoulder immediately after the
-day -on 'which the last Democratic County Con
vention was held. On what day will the dele
gate election be held in Ebensburg this year, Mr.
Editor?" "I don't know, Mordecai," we an
swered, "but it will likely be held sometime
kvring the next six weeks." "That accounts for
It," 6aid Mordecai, in a soliloquising mood, and
with his eyes steadily fixed on the ceiling, "that
Accounts for it. After the delegate elections are
over, farewcCl friendly greetings, farewell social
nips;" and the old man pulled out his red ban
dana, wiped the perspiration from his forehead,
nd remained silent for some time. "I suppose,
Mordecai," we at length ventured to remark,
"you had a very pleasant time of it with our
neighbor V "Very pleasant, indeed," he respon
ded; "as soon as I w as comfortably seated,
your neighbor, as you call him, produced a bottle
of 4th proof Gguiao brandy, which he graciously
informed me he had carefully laid aside sometime
ago for future reference, and told me to imbibe.
I accordingly imbibed a pretty large jorani, and
your neighbor did likewise, lie then became
very talkative, and related a number of very in
teresting stories of events which happened, and
in which be acted a com picuous part, when he was
at "college. Although hi yarns reminded me
very much of those which my grandmother used
to relate to me when a child, I of course pre
tended to be deeply ii.tercs.tcd. I soon dis
covered that your neighbor had a double object
in view in boring me with his reminiscences of
college life. In the first place he wished to dis
play his fine conversational powers, and in the
second place he wished to appri.se mc of the fact
that he had been to college, and was something
cf a scholar." Here our old friend made a pause,
and we cctild not restrain ourself from remark
ing "Mordecai, I know you are not much of a
scholar, but really you say some very sensible
things occasionally." "Well," resumed Morde
cai, "after your neighbor had exhausted his fund
of anecdotes touching hi3 collego life, we took
another nip, and then he branched out into poli
tics j he told me he honestly believed that it was
all up with the Democratic party, aud that he
was confident the Black Republicans would tri
umph in 1SC0. You know, Mr. Edit, that I
ain't much of & scholar, and I therefore didn't
feel like contradicting him point blank; but I
ventured very meekly to express the hope that
" wau mistaken in hia predictions with regard
to the downfall of the Democratic party. We
then again imbibed. Your neighbor then pro
ceeded to ask me if I didn't think he published
the best and root reliable Democratic paper iu
tlie United States. As I did not wish to hurt his
fecling3 by saying nay, I remained silent, and
your neighbor remained silent also. At length I
ventured to remark, j our friend of the Democrat
$ Sentinel has recently charged you with incon
sistency, and seems to legard you as a bogus
Democrat.' He did not make a distinct reply to
this observation, but muttered something about
kicks a la posterior. You know I am not much
of a scholar, and I did not therefore understand
what he meant. Just as I was about to ask him
to explain he remarked 'It is rather long be
tweeu drinks,' and we both took another nip."
At thU point we to jk the liberty of interrupting
fur friend "Mordecai," said we, "were you not
along with me n a certain evening when I in
vited an individual called KiUacey to do a certain
thing." "Yes," answered Mordecai, -'I was '
present on that occasion." "Well, then,'' we
continued, "Mordecai, will you be kind enough
to inform my neighbor that I extend to him the
eacred privilege which I proffered to KiUavey on
the occasion rtsferred to, and tell him also, that if
he don't like my generous offer he can lump it.
"All right," said Mordecai ; "I'll tell him ; and
now, Mr. Editor, can you tell me tne exaet day
on which the delegate elections will be held this
year T ' u No, Mordecai' we repMed, "I cannot.
The Chairman of the County1 Committee has not
yet issued Lit call." M I merely asked," said
Mordecai, "because yonr neighbor expressed con
siderable anxiety' to know 'the day on which the
event would come off. lie informed me he had
performed several pilgrimages t Johnstown for
the purpose of arranging matters with the De
mocracy of the Souih. 'I am certain,' said he,:
'that all will be right in that neck of woods, for
I superintended the arrangements myself.'"
"Mordecai," said we, "my neighbor is undoubt
edly a man of might and power, but still I think
the Democracy of the Soiitk are as capable
of thinking and acting for themselves as he
is. They are net "very fond of being dictated
to by Ebensburg politicians." "That's so,"
Eaid Mordecai, "that's so, Mr. Editor, that's
so. "Well,' continued Mordecai, 'at this
stage of our conversation wc took another nip,
and after we had conversed a spell, I told
your neighbor it was time for me to go.
Take another nip, Mordecai,' said he, 'it
will do you good.' I grasped the Lottie,
turned it upside down, and lo, it was empty !
I immediately made for the door, said fare
well,' Mr. Editor: and so for the resent the
words of Mordecai are ended. I find I have
been conversing with you longer than I sup
posed, so good-bye, Mr. Editor." "Good
bye, Mordecai," Eaid we. "and don't forget
to call again." "Of course I won't forget,
Mr. Editor, and o .good-bye until we meet
"Hie Future.
The increase of our country in p-opulation and
all the elements of greatness, since the Declara
tion of Independence, has been truly wonderful.
No parallel can be found for it in either ancient
or modern history. While the mightiest nations
of Europe are fast approaching decrepitude, and
when even Great Britain gives evident signs
that she has passed the meridian of her power,
influence and glory, cur country is still animated
with the fire of youthful energy and vigor. The
prospect which the future opens to her is even
brighter than her record of the past, brilliant
though it be. The Railroad Lecord recently
contained the following estimate of the probable
increase of the United States in population be
tween the years 18G0 and 2000. The calculation
the Record states, is based on what is regarded
as the "actual law of population." The popu
lation cf our country in 1850 was 23,000,000.
18C0, 30,660,000 1&00, 90,000,000
1870, 40,800,000 1950, 290,000,000
1880, 54,000,000 2000, 040,000,000
1890, 72,000,000 J
We de not regard this as an exaggerated esti
mate. Its realization would not be more remar
kable than the increase of our population during
the last eighty years. 040,000,000 inhabitants
would scarcely be regarded as a dense popula
tion for 3,000,000 of square miles. The density
of the population of several nations of Europe is
greater. We need only instance Holland and
Belgium.
It is painful to reflect that this bright picture
of National prosperity may, before many years,
be dimned by dissc-Bsions among the sovereign
States which compose the American Republic,
and, that, instead of a free, prosperous and happy
Nation, we may be presented with the tpectacle
of a land "rent with civil feuds or drenched it
may be in fraternal blood." The cneouragemer.t
which has recently been given to tie Fpirit of
sectionalism, affords good ground for entertaining
serious apprehensions of such a result. The mo
ment that a sectional party triumphs, the moment
that any State of the Confederacy is degraded,
the moment that tlc Union ceases to be to us all
"a copious fountain of national, social, personal
Jiappiness," the days of the Republic are num
bered. And who will deny that the Black Re
publican party is not a sectional organization ?
Its object, according to the views expressed by
Senator Seward in his Rochester speech, is to ex
terminate slavery in the United States, and "lib
erate the nigger." Under these circumstances,
the duty which devolves on the Democracy as a
thoroughly national organization, is of a pecu
liarly important and impressive character. Thej
should not allow themselves to be drawn aside
from the path of duty by demagogues and hun
gry office-seekers, but keep constantly iu remem
brance that it, is their mission to sustain the
patriotic principle of Nationality, aud crush out,
if possible, the foul spirit of Sectionalism.
The Democratic party is at present passing
through" a tiying ordeal. It has recently been
deserted by many of those who professed to be
its friends. But as the party of the country, it
must and will soon again be triumphant. We
have an abiding confidence in the intelligence and
patriotism of the American people, and cannot
believe thac a majority of them will endorse the
position assumed by the friends of Sectionalism.
If they are true to themselves, and (rue to the
trust confided to them by those who have gone
to their reward, the efforts of the disunionists
wili be thwarted, and centuries after this the
American patriot will be justified in exclaiming,
"Here the free spirit of mankind
Throws its last fetters off ; and who shall place
A limit to the giant's unchained strength,
Or curb his swiftness in the forward race ?
For like the comet's way thro' infinite space,
Stretches the long un travelled path of light,
Into the depths of ages ; we may trace
Afar, the brightening glory of its flight,
Till the receding rays are lost to human sight."
CCJ-Two young gentternenTroai this place,
Messrs. J. D. Thomas and J. S. Todd, narrowly
escaped from serious injury while returning from
Loretto last Sunday evening. The horse which
drew the buggy in which they were seated, be
came suddenly frightened and started off at a rate
exceeding that of John Gilpin's nag, when ho lost
both "hat and wig." Mr. Thomas becoming
alarmed leaped from the buggy, but unfortunately
me sKirt of Jus coat caught in one of the wheels
and ho was dragged for a considerable distance.
Mr. Todd by his superior skill as a driver, suc
ceeded in arresting his "fiery and untamed steed"
in his onward course, and saved the life of his
friend. Mr. Thoma did not sustain tnj serious
injuries.
Our neighbor down - street persists in
refusing to answer tbeimporiant interroga
tories we presented to him last week. We
asked him to prove tbo 'charges he made
against Senator 'Bigler. 'Instead of doing
this, he indulges in low personalities, and en
deavors to cover Lis disgraceful retreat by in
dulging in' billingsgate slang, and low filthy
blaguardism. He Eajs that the sentiments cm
bodied' in the editorials we publish are stereo
typed. In many respects this is strictly true.
The principles of the Democratic party stereo
typed by Thomas Jefferson, and ratified and
approved by Jackson and Buchanan, consti
tute our political vade mzcum. Our neigh
bor has, of course, the right to change his
political views every day, week or month if
he sees proper to do so, but he shonld not
quarrel with us, because we continue to re
gard consistency "as a jewel " If he'sees
proper to act the part of a political weather
cock, that is do reason why 'we should follow
his example. The talk about the letter of
Bishop O'Connor to Senator Bigler is su
premely ridiculous, and affords a capital
illustration of the saying that "drowning
men will catch at straws." The Bishop, of
course, did not expect a reply to his epistle.
It was merely intended as an exposition of his
views with regard to a questk)Hhdn agita
ting the public mind. For "certain matters
not herein sat down," see the report of our
friendly chat with Mcrdicia.
3T An election was held at the Court
House last Thursday, by the Stockholders of
the Ebensburg and Cressoa Rail Road Com
pany, for the purpose of electing a President
and twelve Managers. The following per
sons were elected: President, Thomas Col
lins; Managers, E. Roberts, John Williams,
J. Moore, A. A Barker, J. S. Clark, M.
M. Adams, A. Durbin, E. Shoemaker, A
Lloyd, Robert Davis, R. Jones, Jr., Edward
Glass. The Managers held a meeting on
last Monday, and elected Job a Williams,
Treasurer; William Kittell, Esq., Solicitor,
and A. C. Mullin, Esq., Secretary, for the
ensuing year.
jCST Mr. A. Blain has fitted up his Ice
Cream Saloon in fine style. He has arranged
his room for private parties, so that Ladies
can enjoy a saucer of Ice Cream without be

Mr. Ely's Select School will close next
Friday, and an examination and exhibition
will be held on that day. Careuts, Guardi

are invited to attend. t
CO- Having during the last two or three weeks,
been occasionally furnished with a foretaste of
the long and sultry days of summer, a number
of cur friends have asked us "Where can we
get a wholesome and cooling drink that won't
intoxicate?" We have uniformly answered
"Call at the Drug Siore of Dr. Lemmon an 1 try
a glass of his Mineral water." It u truly deli
cious, and when you have once raised a jdass of
it to your lips,
"Not a full blushing -goblet could tempt you to
leave it,
Though tilled with the nectar that Jupiter sips."
JCST" The following is the concluding poition
of au ably written article, on the Acquisition of
Cuba, which recently appeared in the I'ennsylva
nian. As this will doubtless be an important
issue in the Presielential contest of 1&C0, of course
our readers will feel anxious for information on
the subject;
Taking it for granted that no rational man
will contest the acquisition of this Island on
the ground of its not being essential to the
jurisdictional rights of the nation over the
Gulf of Mexico, we shall first treat it as a
question involving only politico-commercial
considerations. Its comparative proximity to
the United States, rendering its value incal
cuble to us in time o war, hs great distance
from Spain, and Colonial form of govern
ment, creating in time of peace a constant
danger of collision with that power, its con
venience as a rendezvous and' market for
those engaged in the slave traffic, together
with its being a tempting bait to the filibus
ters, both bative and foreign, all combine in
sustaining our just claims to sovereignty over
the island. To Spain Cuba is merely a source
of revenue, and should she persist in refus
ing a fair ce inpets-tion for this revenue, ex
posing u3 to the disadvantages and perils
attending her possession of Cuba, we cannot
regard the latter in any other light than a
standing menac3 and attack, compelling us
to resort to measures of defense.
The Island of. Cuba has an arrca of 32,
o05 square miles, only 14,500 loss than that
of Pennsylvania. The population of all clas
ses in 1S50 was 1,247,230. ' Its mineral
riches have not beeu exfensivrfy developed.
Gold and silver have been'; found in small
quantities ; copper and coal in considerable
abundance; asphaltum, marble and jasper
abound. The minimum value of the forests,
consisting of mahogany and - other useful'
wood, was estimated in 1830 to be equal to
$190,024,000. The agricultural value of
the island rests mainly in the production of
sugar, coffee, aod tobacco, but of 12,992,
730 acres, however, only 1,124,832 were
under cultivation. The whole represeneative
value of agriculture was estimated at $508.
179,332, and of products. $40,039,871, of
animal production $9,023,110, and gross
capital invested $317,204,882.
If we compare the extent under cultivation
with that remaining waste, we may form 6ome
appreciation of the vast productive power of
the island in those great staples coffee, sugar
and tobacco. Many other and valuable ar
ticles of production are indigenous to the
soil. The opening of inines, utilizing her
vast forests, opening roads, and' the introduc
tion of American machinery upon the estates
and in the workshops necessary to its ener
getical developement, presents an almost un
limited scope for American enterprise and
improvement. In another article, wo shall
give some statistics of her commerce with the
United States, and show to what portion of
the Union tho greatest benefit would accrue
if Cuba was iu her possession. .
As we predicted sometime ago, the Pike'
Teak Gold Diggings have proved to be a mag
nificent humbug, and' the gold seekers are retur
ning home with their "thumbs in their mouths."
A late telegraphic dispatch says :
".It is estimated that 20,000 men are now on
their way'back, all, or most of whom, are desti
tute f money and the necessaries of life, and
perf etly desperate. Threats are made of burn
ing Omaha, St. Joseph, Leavenworth and other
towns, in consequence tf the deception used :to
induce emigration. Two thousand men are re
ported 50 miles west of Omaha, in a starving
condition. Some of the residents of Plattsmouth
have clesed business and fled, fearing violence at
the hands of the enraged emigrants.
y "We examined, a few days ago, a map of
the Ebensburg & Cresson Railroad," made by Mr.
George Barrett, civil engineer. The Road looks
remarkably well on paper, and our friend Barret
has reason to feel proud cf his work. In less
than a year from this time the citizens of Ebens
burg will be called upon to pay their respects to
the "Iron Horse," on jthe occasion of his first
visit to their Mountain home.

One of the humanitarian movements cftJie
times although little known as such, can hardly
be over estimated in its importance upc-n the well
being of our widely scattered communities. The
population cf the American States is in many
sections so sparse, that skilful Physicians are
hardly available to them. Vast numl crs of our
people, are obliged to employ in sickness, such
medical relief as they can hear from each other,
or, iadeed any they can got from any qnar'er.
Uence arrises the great CTsumtion of Patent
Medicfnes among us, grater by f,tr than in r.v.j of
the r,M countries, where skilful physicians re
accessible to all classes. Unprincipled men
have long availed themselves cf this necessity,
to palm off their worthless nostrums, unt:i the
word bs become synonmous with iinpciui n j
and cheat. One of our leading cbemis in the i
East, Dii. Ateb, is pursuying a course which
defeats this iniquity. lie brings not ouly his
own but the best bk ill of our times to I ear, for
the production of the best remedies which cm be
made. These are supplied to the world, in a
convenient form, at low prices, and the people
will no more buy poor medicines instead of good,
at the same cost, than they will bran instead of
flour. The inevitable consequence of this is,
that the vile compounds that flood our countrv
are discarded for those which honestly accom
plish the end in view which cure. Do we
over estimate its importance, in believing that
this prospect of sapplanting the by-word medi
ans, with those of actual worth and virtue, is
tought with immense consequence for good, to
the mosses of our people- Gazette and Chronicle

The regular correspondent of the Demo
crat, writing from Denver city, on the 9th
inst., recounts a most deplorable condition of
things on the plains. Many of the emigrants
were dying of starvation, while others were
subsisting on prickly pears and wild onions
found along the road. The Stage Agent re
ports picking up a man named Rlue, who was
reduced to a skeleton from starvation. He
had started with his two brothers. One of
them died, and the remaiuing two ate . his
body. Another died, and he in turn was
nearly devoured by the survivor. A man
named Gibbs had reached the mines in a
starving condition, and he expressed the opin
ion that his party, numbering nine, had all
perished. Many graves arc reported alon
the route, and much property had been aban
doned and destroyed on the road
The writer of the letter says that the de
partures from the mines are about equal to
the arrivals.
About 500 returning emigrants reached
St. Joseph on Saturday, all of whom confirm
the previous accounts of the suffering . and
privations on the plains.
An Editor 'Qualifying' Himself.
The editor of the Omaha Xebraskian hav
ing published something deemed offensive to
a person in that place, the wife of the latter
undertook to rawhide him, assisted by her
husband and some relations, but the scrim
mage was soon stopped. The editor com
ments upon the affair in his next number, and
adds the following by way of postcript :
"We would here remark that fighting is
not our vocation. The sedentary pursuits in
which we have been so long engaged are un
favorable to muscular development. We only
weigh about one hundred and twenty-five
pounds, and have never before seriously con
templated the necessity of a resort to fisticuffs.
But wc now intend to go into a course of
training for the spring fights. We expect in
a short tiino to take lessons of a celebrated
pugilist in the noble art of self-defence, after
which we shall bo happy to oblige any ex
bankers, ex-clergymen, or their brothers-in-law,
who may feel aggrieved at anything
which may appear in the Nebraskian. And
until that time we shall perhaps employ a
body guard of ladies to protect us from per
eonal assaults which might deprive the public
of our valuable services."
A Dead Failure.
An attempt to build up a new Democratic
party under the dignified title of the"States
Rights Democracy," with Forney asieader, j
has proven the most dismal .political tailure
of the times. It would really be a work of
charity, says the -Patriot and Union, for some
respectable democratic "paper to bestow a
word of encouragement upon the ragged, bald
and crippled thing. The Anti-Lecompton
prets of the State refuses to acknowledge it,
instead of giving the encouragement and
suppurt which were anticipated by the projec
tors oF the movement, are unspariug in tbeir
blows. Of this class of Democratic newspa
pers, the Somerset Democrat is among the
most able and vigorous. In commenting with
deserved severity upon the proceedings at
Altona, it administers the following advice
to this faction :
"We understand tbat'it!is the 'intention of
this States Rights Democratic ' party, when
the proper time arrives, to make aD energetic
effort to secure a majority of utlegates to the
next 4th of March Convention. To this we
have no objection. But we tell them now, :
in advance, that unless they roll up their
sleeves and go zealously to work for the f uc
cess of the regularly nominated Democratic
State Ticket at the next election, they will
find themselves nowhere when these delegates
comi to be'che-sen. "So disorganizing move
ment can carry the Auti-Lecouipeoa senti
ment of the State with it, and the soonor the
leaders of this Democratic State Rights fac
tion are made aware of this fact perhaps the
better. There is a vast difference between a
genuine Auti-Lecompton Democrat, and a
bogus one who makes it his busine.-s to en
deavor to defeat the regular party organiza
tion, and who gives ail and comfort' to the (;
common enemy.'
