y We have no disposition to go into an
elaborate reply to the column and a half of perso
nal abuse of us which appeared in the last num
ber of the mountaineer. AVe will not stoop so
low as to attempt to get up a set of to our
neighlwr's personalties. Nearly two years ago
he invited us to accompany him to Carrolitown,
and we did so. AVe returned home with him,
and nothing occurred during the trip to mar the
friendship which then existed between us. And
j-et our neighbor, for the sake of being personal,
endeavors, by falsifying a circumstance which
occurred ou that occasiou, to represent us to the
world as a blackguard, as a contemner of the
common courtesies of life. AVe will not retort to
his personalities by saying that he was so drunk
on the occasion referred to, that he could not
possibly know anything which occurred, for ly
bo doing we would place ourself on the platform
which he himself occupies. If he is mean enough
to invade the hours which we believed were
consecrated to friendship, let him do so, but we
are determined not to disgrace ourself by follow
ing his example. AVhen we see a fellow being
with faults and failings, we pity him. It is a
tight at beholding which, although devils laugh,
angels weep. Engaged in the defence of what
we believe to be an honorable cause, we have
freely commented on the political conduct of the
politicians of this county whose views did not
accord with our own. But we have not, in any
instance, assailed their private character, and we
never will do so.
The editor of the M-juniaineer has many and
grievous failings, but it will not be our fault if
they are harshly commented on during his life,
or are remembered in his epitaph. We regard
with contempt his attacks on our private char
acter, and sr.y to him with as much sincerity as
Uncle Toby said to the fly, which he caught
while buzzing maliciously around his head
"Go, poor devil ; is this world not large enough
for thee and me ?" There i3 nothing in the
world at which there are so many adepts as at
personal abuse. The best hands at it we ever
met with were the fish women of Philadelphia.
It is as natural for them, to be personal in their
observations, and tj be even sarcastic in their
remarks, as to cry ''fresh shad." Our neighbor
is welcome to continue his personalities if he sees
proper. AVe arc M illing to leave the business
with such creatures as himself and the fish wo
men of Philadelphia.
Our neighbor commences his article by assail
ing an individual who never had anything to do
with this controversy. ' This is cowarJly and
mean, but is eminently characteristic of the edi
tor of the Mountaineer, and furnishes a convin
cing proof of the truth of that which he has said
of himself "I ain't much of a lawyer or editor,
but I am the best purveyor in the county."
Last fall he made a personal attack on General
AAThite, to which he replied, and after a "few
letters" were exchanged, our neighbor quietly
backed out from the controversy. AVe know
that the almost unanimous verdict of the people
on the occasion referred to was that the editor of
the Mountaineer had been badly used up. After
thus . "backing out," his attempt to make a
thrust at General White over our shoulder is, we
repeat, mean and cowardly. He asserts that we
are not our own master, and that in the dis
charge of our duties we are controlled by "outsi
ders." It takes but little time or ink to make
euch charges, but it is sometimes difficult to prove
them. NY e have never published anything in
ine editorial columns of this paper of which we
are ashamed. AVe challenge our neighbor to
point out when or where we ever faltered in the
A. f T-V . .
support 01 democratic men and measures. If
we were dictated to, our dictators evidently nev
er counselled us to pursue an anti-Democratic
course. v Our neighbor cannot say the same with
truth. Our course never elicited the approbation
of Black Republican editors his did.
A few weeks ago our ne ighbor made a number
of serious charges against Senator Bigler. AVe
called on him to prove them. Instead of doing
this, he commenced assailing our private charac
ter tho common resort of low-minded bla
guards when sinking under the weight of arn
rnent. Our neighWr asserts that wo have been
attempting to misrepresent the bogus Conven
tion which assembled at Hirritburg on the 13th
of April, and cites the Ilarrisburz Patriot &
Union as authority to sustain his position. That
Taper denounced Forney's Convention in stron
ger terms than ever we did. It was a fl,nv
tion called in open violation of the principles of
lM ucrauc party, for the purpose of trans
1W lu " lacic Republicans. AVe de
iuc ume me men who composed it as
traitors and disorganize. Our neighbor acted
luo Vm " llie,r polngist. Our views with re
Kara io inero nave undergone no change since
then. AYe regard them as low demagogues, and
if possessed of the intellect of Junius, we would I
preserve the perishable infamy of their names,
and make them immortal.
Our neighbor last fall and winter denounced
ns traitors the men who opposed a portion cf the
County ticket last October. He is now the apol-
ogist and defender of the men who held a bogus
Convention at Ilarrisburg on the 13th of April,
i v i t - 1- a
and repudiated the Democratic State ticket and
r .
the platform adopted by the State Convention
AAThere is his consistency? According to his
logic, that which was treason last fall is perfect
ly right now ! "If this be consistency, make the
most of it."
For the purpose of bringing the matter to an 1
issuo. we will endeavor to come back to the
point from which we first started. Our neighbor
has asserted that the appointment of Quiggle
was procured through the influence of Senator
liigler. This we wish him to prove, lie has
asserted that, in procuring this appointment,
o. tj. , tii!
Senator Biglcr was actuated by pecuniary mo-
tives. We ask him to prove this. He has as-
serted that we are not our own master, and that 1
we are controlled by "outsiders." This also he

pursued a straightforward and consistent course.
Is he, or is he not, the political friend of John
AV. Forney. A satisfactory answer will be more
interesting to the readers of the Mountaineer than
a column and a half of personal abuse of the ed
itor of the Democrat Sentinel.
CO-AVe were shown the other day, by a friend,
a letter from Mr. Abraham Cramer, who resided
in this place a portion'of last year, dated from
Pike's Peak. He states that the diggings are a
magnificent humbug and that he intended start
ing shortly across the Plains for California. AVe
believe none of the citizens of Cambria were
duped by the Fikes Teak humbug.

up the window on tho Alley between their Store
and Mr. Fenlon's residence, but fortunately the
noise awakened Mrs. Stahl. She immediately
hoisted a window and looked out and the burglar
finding that he was "noticed" decamped. Court
has evidently drawn to our town a number of
these enemies of society, and we advise them to
leave as soon as possible. If they get into the
clutches of the Mountaineers they need not anti
cipate merciful treatment.

CCJ- The editor of the Mountaineer was absent
from home last Monday and Tuesday, aud con
sequent'y did not write the leader ia the last
number of that paper. AVe know very well the
gentleman by whom it was written, but we will
not name him now. If he pcrsiats in thrusting

Proscription in Massachusetts. -
The voters of Massachusetts adopted, on
Monday last, the proposed amendment to the
Constitution of the State, which was submit
ted by the Legislature in the following words:
No person of foreign birth shall be enti
tled to vote, or shali be eligible to office, un
less he shall have resided within the jurisdic
tion of the United States for two years sub
sequent to his naturalization, and shall be
otherwise qualified according to the Constitu
tion and Laws of the Commonwealth : Pro
vided, That this amendment shall not affect
the rights which any person of foreign birth
possessed at the time of the adoption thereof:
Provided further. That it shall not affect the
rights of any child of a citizen of the United
States born duriog the temporary absence of
the parent thereof."
The amendment has been carried by over
six thousand majority. Massachusetts is a
Republican State, and this is a Republican
vote. Notwithstanding the earnest remon
strances of the German Republicans of the
North-western States, and the fears of the
New York Tribune that the adoption of the
amendment would drive off this class of vo
ters, and possibly affect the Presidential elec
tion, Republican Massachusetts has not been
deterred from giving expression to its hatred
towards citizens of foreign birth, by engraft
ing upon her Constitution an odioua and pro
scriptive feature, unknown to ether States of
the Union. Ry this amendment a foreigner
may be a citizen of the United States, quali
fied to vote and hold office, and yet be exclu
ded from the same privileges in liberty-loving
Massachusetts. That State exhausts all
its liberality upon the negro, who is allowed
to vote, when the citizen of foreign birth is
excluded Patriot t? Union.
Tricksters Unmasked.
The New York Tribune, so long the most
virulent organ cf the abolitionists, has cow
the cool effrontry to accuse lhe democratic
party of organizing and keeping up the sla
very agitation ! In its anxiety to qualify as
the leading director of the fuionists, this
rapid auti-slavery acd sectional journal for
merly declares that there is no immediate
practical issue before the country iuvolviug
the slavery question. The audacity of the
first statement must be obvious to every man
who knows anything cf the history of ti e
subject in Congress and the couutry. Uoes
the Tribune really imagine that the people
lave forgotten the early beginnings of ag
gressions upon the constitutional rights of
the South, and the meddling with their priv-
lges and comforts, whether at home or trav
elling with their fanilics and servants in other
parts of the nation? that, from first to last.
the Democratic party iu the Scuta havo only
said, 'let cs alone T'
The second declaration is a preirrant proof
that the black republicans feel the dissolution
of their faction to be nigh, Have wc cot
declared, over and over again tuat the sub
ject of slavery is no longer a practical ques
tion among democrats? Tuank-i to the far
seeing sagacity and unclenching firmness of
the President, the disturbing issues that
were forced upon the democracy in relation
to it are settled, Could we believe in the
Tribune in this statement to express tbe
minds of its faction to throw the dead issue
behind them, we would hail tec announce
ment with satisfaction ; tut, unluckily, there
is to much reason to believe tht it is merely
intended for the nonrc. It is desired to
bring about the so much desired coalition be
tween tho opposition elements, North and
South. If that coalition could succeed in es
tablishing a hybird Administration, then the
mask would bo thrown off, and the more
powetful party to the bar era iu would pre
scribe its own terms. The success of so
unprincipled a combination could not but be
fatal to the peace, the happme&s and liber-
tics of the people, if not to the integrity of
the people.

Washington Constitution. "
A Balloon in tlic Lake.
As the propeller Jefferson, Capt. Rond,
was passing Erie, about 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, 6omc five miles from shore, a large
balloon was discovered abont 3 miles in the
uir, above Eric, travelling in a northeasterly
direction. Capt. Rond was looking at it
through the glass, when he saw it rapidly de
scend to the lake, and in a few minutes strike
the water. Two persons were seen iu the
basket, and one of them waved a white sig
nal for relief. The Captaiu ordered the
course of the propeller to be changed toward
the sufferers, and when a short distance from
them a small boat was lowered aud manned
and sent to them One of them proved to
be Mr. Lynn, the editor of tho Erie Dispatch.
They were standing iu the basket, which
was sunk in the water up to their heads.
The small boat was made fast to the balloon,
when a tug came out from Erie and took
them ashore.
Mr. Kyle, the clerk of the propeller Jef
ferson, and to whom we are iudebted for
these particulars, informs us that the wind
was hauling the balloon through the water
at the rate of about five miles an hour, and
it required considerable exertion for the
small boat to overtake it. The men in the
balloon were quite jocular over tho mishap,
but as they shook like tho ague and were us
whit3 as sheets, their mirth seemed to be of
a rather ghostly character The propeller
was about seven miles from them when they
struck tho water. The prompt action of
Capt. Rond, Mr. Kyle and others on board
the propeller, saved the lives of the unfortu
nate aeronauts beyond doubt.
The manager of tho balloon was the editor
of the Dispatch, who has been on several
aerial excursions before. 1 he assension was
made in the presence of a large concourse of
people yesterday afternoon at lrio A tug
has been engaged to be in readiness to go to
the relief of the rcronauts in case they etruck
the lake, but somehow it did not get started
until the propeller's small boat had picked
them up. They were in the lake half an
hour.

cabinet has issued a decree restoring Santa
Anna to all lights and titles which he form
erly held in Mexico, and inviting his return
via Tampieo. wither General Woll is march

The dispatch also states that the steamer
Coatzacoalcos, of thi Tehuantepec route,
has been attached by creditors. She could
not, therefore, leave on Friday with her

New Orleans, however, that the matter will
be arranged in a few days.
Excitement at St. Louis A Riot Ap
prehended Military Out.
St. Locis, June 3. An intense excite
ment prevailed to'day amocg all classes cf
our citizens, growing out of the shooting of
Mr. Charless, ,Ahia morning, by J. V
Thornton. About noon some two or three
thousand persons repaired to the jail, with
the avowed purpose of forcibly taking out the
prisoner, and hanging him. Through the
exertions of the police, and the influence of
several prominent citizens, the excitement
was somewhat allayed, and the majoiity of
the crowd prevailed upon to disperse.
A squad of excited men, however, lingered
around the jail all the afternoon, and tra
versed the streets threatening venance upon
the culprit. To prevent violence, Mayor
lilly ordered out the military, some of whom
are now (S o clock 1 . M.) standing guard in
the jail yard, while others are patrolling the
streets, prepared instantly to suppress any
threatened outbreak.
Mr. Charless still lingers, but his death is
looked for every moment. lie received two
pistol wounds in the abdomen, either one of
which the surcreous pronounce to be mortal
Much excitement still exists, and it is
feared that the annouucomeLt of the death o
the wounded ican will be the signal for a
general outbreak.
Mr. Charless ia the senior member of the
firm of Charless, Rlow and Company, one o
the oldest and most esteemed merchants in
the city, and the attack upon hitu is univer
sally regarded as the ino&t uprovoked and
cold-blooded oa record.
