REPEXTAXT.
Our neighbors of the Johnstown Tribune
are evidently sorry for the abuse which they
heaped on Mr. Durbin, immediately after his
nomination for State Senator by the Demo
cratic District Conference. The evidences of
sincere contrition manifest in almost every
sentence of the leader in the last number of
their paper are truly refreshing, and lead us
to hope that the campaign in this County at
least, will be hereafter carried on in a high
toned and gentlemanly manner. They have
discovered that their personal attacks on Mr.
Durbin united the Democracy firmly in his
support, and did serious injury to the pros
pects of Mr. Hall in this County. Perceiving
this, they prudently determined "while the
lamp held out to burn," to take the back
track. They have already taught Mr. Hall
the truth of the old saying '-that an impru
dent and overzealous friend ia more to be
dreaded than a foul mouthed and abusive
enemy." It is highly probable they will not
furnish him with any additional lessons during
the present campaign.
Our Johnstown neighbors for the purpose
of making as graceful a retreat as possible,
seem to be anxious to get up the impression
that they did not abuse Mr. Durbin. No one
will believe them who perused their paper of
the 2d inst., In their leader that week, they
said "that as well might the gentleman who
composed the Conference have nominated one
of their old boots, for the important and res
ponsible office of State Senator, as the igno
rant and boorish individual they did." If
this is not abusive and insulting language,
we do not Know what ia. They complain that
exception has been taken to their course by
the Democratic press of this and Blair coun
ty. They should also have stated that excep
tion has been taken to their course by a por
tion of the Republican press of the district.
The Alleghanian, one of Mr. Halls' organs
in this county, commented week before last
on the abusive course of the Tribune and
Ilollidaysburg Whig as follows:
"The Blair County Whig and the Cambria
Tribune, two of the Opposition journals in
this Senatorial District, in their zeal to sub
serve the interests of Col Hall, have, we re
gret to say, opened out upon Augustine Dur
bin. the Loco-Foco candidate, in a very coarse
and indelicate manner.
Witness the followhg gem from the
Whiy-Jy
The Loco-Foco Buchanan and Bieler
candidate for Senator i3 engaged ia the
Whiskey business at Munster, but they say
he ''cantkeepahotel. Well, if he can't
do that, can he make laws for the people'
This is a serious question and should arouse
the sober-minded people to look at it with
that consideration which justly belongs to it
Let the watchword be "Can't Keep a Hoi
"And the following titbit from the Tri
bune:" ' As,weU m"ght the gentlemen who com
posed that Conference hare nominated one of
their o.d boots for the responsible and honor
able position of State Senator, as the ignor
and boorish individual they did- Mr. Durbin
jay be a useful man in a small way in the
locaaty m which he resides, but that he pos-
fn8r&iLany'-f-Ven cthe, S qaaliacatiSns
for the position of a lawmaker for this great
Commonwealth, is a supposition most ridicu-
? Ui Nboly-no honest and
right thinking Democrat believes that this
man Durbin is fitted, either by nature or
education for any office in the gift of the
people higher than that of township consta
ble or supervisor "
j- .ow tnese articles besides being very
ridiculous in themsalves, are uotruo. Mr
Durbm is not enrrnoaA ;n TCn.:i .
iness at Munster, as the Whig asserts; nor is
7j b "2 tt"u,DOrQ individual the
Tribune would make him anDear "
It will be seen by the above, that one of
sir wails organs, is severer on the Tribune
and Whig for their abuse of Mr. Durbin,
their even the democratic papers of the dis
trict. We think the above article from the
Alleghanian is sufficient to "spike the guns"
of the battery, which the Tribune has opened
on the "Democrat & Sentinel" and "Moun
taineer." We deDy tha t we ever assailed or attempt
ed to assail the private character of Mr. Hall,
nor have we any desire to do so. We have
no disposition to call him hard names, and we
know that by so doing we would most likely
diminish the vote of Mr. Durbin in the dis
trict. But we are determined to pursue a
fearless course, and as we remarked a few weeks
ago, should retaliation become necessary, the
gentlemen who live in glass houses, will prob
ably wish they had refrained from throwing
stones.
Doing Business on Small Capital.
The Editors of the Johnstown Tribune,
are capital hands at magnifying mole hills into
mountains. They are also very sharp, and
are blessed with such acute optics, that they
can actually see what is not to be seen. They
have recently discovered that "Union and
Harmony," have fled the democratic ranks in
this county, and that the "Democrat & Sen
tinel is rampant." To prove this, they submit
sundry facts to a "candid world," which we will
briefly review. In the editorial article which
we published a few weeks ago commenting on
the address of the Chairman of the County
Committee "to the voters of Cambria couuty,"
we said nothing about "Douglasism," Buch
anism, 'Lecomptonism,' or 'Anti Lecomptism.'
We merely denied the right of the chairman to
speak on behalf of the committee, without
first consulting them We did not say that
we objected to a single doctrine contained in
the "Address," bat we did say, that we de
nied the right of either County Committees
or their Chairmen to construe the Cincinatti
Platform, and say which of the different
wings of the party is composed of friends of
the Union, and which of disunionists. And
we say so still. The "Address" said nothing
about either Douglas or Buchanan, and on
perusing it carefully, we cannot discover the
sentence or paragraph in which according to
the Tribune, a thrust is given to the Admin
istration of James Buchanan, -in its most
vulnerable point." These are the cron which
the Editors of the Tribune base the assertion
that the Democracy of this County are in a
disorganized condition. How absurd, how
ridiculous. After this we would not feel at
all surprised, if our Johnstown neighbors
should undertake to prove that black is
white, and that chalk and cheese are one and
the same thing.
It is doubtless very pleasent for the Editors
of the Tribune to believe that the Democra
cy of this County ara not united, and we are
perfectly willing they shall continue to think so
until the second Tuesday of next October.
But if on examining the returns on the mor
ning after th at eventful day, they should
find that they were slightly mistaken in th oir
calculations, we hope they will not feel wrathy
or do anything desperate. In the mean
time, let them sleep on in peace. We will
not again disturb their slumbers.
The Three Mill Tax.
The Pennsylvania Rail Road Company is
endeavoring to avoid the payment of the three
mill tax imposed on its tonage by law. It
sometime ago refused to pay over to the state
tax due by it, amounting to $91,000, alleg
ing that the law imposing the tax was uncon
stitutional Suit was brought by the Com
monwealth against the Company for the
amount of the tax due. The case was recent
ly tried in the Common Pleas of Dauphin
county. It was ably argued both for the
Stat and Company. Judge Parsons after
hearing the arguments pro and con, decided
that the law was constitutional, and directed
the Jury to return a verdict in favor of the
State, for the amount of its claim. The Com
pany however nothing daunted, will doubt
less endeavor to procure the repeal of the law
imposing the tax, by tho next Legislature.
But if the right kind of men, men of intelli
gence and sterling honesty, are elected mem
bers of the Senate and House of Representa
tives, at the approaching election, the Com
pany will signally fail in their repeal move
ment next winter.
We think no good or even plausible reason
can be urged in favor of the repeal of this
tax. .Lvery citizeu every property holder in the
Commonwealth is taxed, and they all pay
the amount levied oa them, without murmur
ing. We can perceive no reason why a soul
less corporation should be Drcfered to Imnn
fide citizens, and be released from bearing
lis Bharo of the burthen of supporting the
government which protects it. We can see
no good reason why, while the poor farmer,
the produce of whose farm is scarcely suffi
cient to support him6elf and family, is taxed
for tho eupport of the government, the Penn
sylvania Rail Road, the povverfulest and
wealthiest corporation in the Um0n, almost
the equal of the United States Baafe in -ts
palmiest days, should be exempted from the
payment of a tax which it assumed to pay
when it accepted its charter from the state,
and the payment of which cannot possibly
affect its success or prosperity in the slightest
degree. As this is a question in which the
tax payers of this county are deeply interest
ed, we will probably refer to it in a few
weeks again.

Tne Public Square Johnstown.
The case of C. B. Ellis vs. John Swegler
and others, involving the title.to the publio
square in Johnstown, was tried in, the Com
mon Pleas of this county last week. The
case from its novelty, attracted -'considerable
attention among the persons in attendance at
court. The defendants something more than
a year ago, under the direction--'of -'the Bur
gess and Town Council of the borough of
Johnstown, erected a fence around the square.
Mr. Ellis who claimed that the property be
longed to him' brought an action of Trespass
quare clau sum f regit against them, for the
purpose of settling the " controversy. The
cause was reached on last Thursday mor
ning, and a Jury sworn to well and truly try
the issue joined between the parties.
The Plaintiff proved that the title to the
tract of land on which Johnstown now stands,
was vested in Joseph J ohns about the . year
1800. That during that year, he laid out
the town of Conemaugh, now Johnstown ;
that sometime afterwards. - he conveyed tho
tract of land to Peter Livergood, including
all tho lots in the said town remaining un
sold. He then produced a deed . from Peter
Levergood to him for the squartfin controversy.
The defendants proved that for more than
half a century, the Square had been spoken
of as the Public Square, that since the organi
zation of the borough of Johnstown in 1832,
the Burgess and Town Council of s aid Bor
ough had exercised acts of ownership over it,
that they had leased it to Men agar ies and
Circuses, that they had erected meat Bhops
on it, and leased them to different individu
als, that more than 21 years ago, they had
erected au Engine house and Lockup " house
on it. They also proved, that Peter Liver
good was Burgess at the time the Engine
house and Lockup house were erected, & that
although he had not then conveyed to Ellis,
he not only approved of the erection of 6aid
buildings, but exercised special supervision
over thtir erection. It was proved that the
Square had never been assessed to Mr. Lev
good or any other person. The ''charter of
the town of Conemaugh" executed by Joseph
Johns, when he laid out said town was read
in evidence. After designating one Square as
a Market Square, another as a place of pub
lic amusement, he proceeded to say that he
reserved a certain square, describing it, (the
one now in controversy,) for a Court House
and other Public Buildings, and promised to
convey said Square to the county, as soon as
Johnstown became a County seat. Mr.
John Barnes swore, that when he first moved
to Johnstown in 1832, Mr. Ellis took him
around to show him the town, and pointed
out the Square in controversy as the public
Square. The Plaintiffs Counsel contended
that the clause in the 'charter' did not dedi
cate the Square to the use of- the 'Borough,
but to the County, in the event of the town
becoming a seat of J ustice.
We regret that we have not room this week,
to lay before our readers an abstract of the
lucid and able charge which his Honor,
J ndge Taylor.delivered to' the Jury in the esse.
After reviewing the testimony, and dispos
ing of several minor points, he instructed the
Jury, that in consequence of Peter Livergood,
whilo Burgess, haviDg encouraged the Town
Council to erect buildings and expend money
on the square in controversy, and even havc
ing excercised supervision over the erection
of said buildings, that thereby he and thoso
claiming under him were estopped from main
taining this action. He ! also instructed
them, that the title, if any, remaining in
Johus after executing the 'charter,,' was
not such as would warrant him or
those claiming under him, in maintaining
this action. The Jury rendered a verdict
for the defendants without leaving the box.
The defendants counsel excepted to the charge
and the case will probably be'.reviewed in the
Supreme Court. .
Quite a Curiosity. The Hollyhock, the

&3P We learn that the right hand of Mr
Jerome Dawson of Allegheny township, was
cut off a short distance below the wrist, by
a circular saw on last Saturday. It seems
he was endeavoring to remove some object
from the log which was being sawed, when
the saw caught his hand and severed it in
stantly from the arm. Our informant states
that it was the opinion of the,; physcians in at
tendance, that it would be necessary to am
putate the arm above the wrist in order to
save his life

Gentlemen. I have received your letter, and
will endeavor to answer it in a satisfactory man
ner in as few words as possible. If elected a
member of the State Senate, I would vote against
any bill or measure which might he introduced
into that body for the repeal of the Three Mill
Tax on the tonnage of the Pennsylvania Rail
Road. A number of letters have been addressed
to me recently inquiring my views on this sub
ject, I hope this will be regarded as a satisfactory
answer to them all.
Very respectfully,
Your Ob't. Scrr't.

To the Voters of Cambria Countv.
Having understood from various sources, that
it is desirable that I should define my position in
reference to the policy of repealing what is fa
miliarly termed the "Three Mill Tax," and being
willing, as well as anxious, that my views on
this, as well as on all other questions of State
policy, should be fully understood by the electors
of the County, I will state, that in the event of
my election as a member of the next House of
Representatives, I will not only vote against the
proposed repeal of the "Three Mill Tax," but
will steadily oppose the passage of any law con
templating that purpose.
Respectfully, S:c.

Chess Springs Borough, Sept. 13, 1850;.
M& The following exquisite ballad, says the
Johnstown Tribune ; was written by Joseph
Bfennan an Irish Exile who died in New Orleans
several years ago, of Contumption. It is ad
dressed to his wife, and is touchingly beauaful:
Come to me. dearest, I'm lonely without thee;
Day-time and night-time I'm thinking about thec;
Night-time and day-time in dreams I behold thec
Unwelcome the waking that ceases to fold thee.
Come to me, darling , my sorrows to lighten;
Come in thy beauty, to bless and to brighten;
Come in thy womanhood, meekly and Fowly;
Come in thy lovingness, queenly and holy.
Swallows will flit round the desolate ruin,
Telling of Spring and its joyous renewing;
And thoughts of thy love, and its manifold trea
sure,
Are circling my heart with a promise of pleasure.
Oh, Spring of my spirit' oh, May of my bosom!
Shine out on ray soul till it bourgeon and blos
tom; The past of my life has a rose-root within it,
Azd thy fondness alone to the sunshine can win it.
Figures that move like a song through the even'
Featnres lit up by a reflex of heaven
Eyes like the skies of poor Erin, our mother,
Where shadows and sunshine are chasing each
other:
Smiles coming seldom, but child-like and simple,
Opening their eyes from the heart of a dimple;
Oh, thanks to the Savior! that even thy seeming
Is left to the exile to brighten his dreaming.
You have been glad when you knew I was glad
dened; Dear, are you sad now to hear I am saddened?
Our hearts ever answer in tune-and in time, love,
As octave to octave, and rhyme unto rhyme, love.
I cannot weep, but your tears will be flowing,
You cannot smile but my cheek will be glowing;
1 would not die without you at my hide, love.
You will not linger when I shall have died, love.
Come to me, dear, ere I die of my sorrow,
Rise on my gloom like the sun of to-morrow
Strong, swift and fond as the words which I
speak, love,
With a song on your lips and a smile on your
cheek, love.
Come, for my heart in your absence is weary.
Haste, for my spirit is sickened and dreary;
Come to the heart which is throbbing to press
thee,
Come to the arms that would fondly caress thee.

. When the United States and Great Brit-
ian agreed upon the treaty, that the 49th par
allel of latitude, should be the Northern boun
dary of Oregon Territory, every body sup
posed that the question was finally settled.
fT-.l . t. - AIl 1? 1 ...... - -
xiau mis via line Deen exienaea to tne a
cific, it would have divided Vancouvers Is
land, which it was conceded belonged to
Great Britiao, therefore the treaty stipulated
that the 49 th paralled should run only as far
West as the main channel, which seperated
Vancouvers from the shore, then follow the
channel so as to exclude Vancouver, then
due West to the ocean. Now it appears there
are two channels between Vancouver and the
main land; that of the canal Dc Haro. which
lies between Vancouver and the Island of
San Juan, and the Rosario Straits, lying be
tween San J uau and the main shore of Wash
ington Territory. The Americans contend
that as the canal De Haro is the widest, deep
er and more direct, that it is, therefore, the
main channel, whilst the British say the Is
land of San Juan has always been considered
as an appendage of Vancouver, therefore,
the channel referred to in the treaty is the
Rosario, so that the present difficulty in that
section of country rests upon the several in
terpretations of the treaty. San Juan has
been partly, at least, in the possession of our
Government for several years, aud U. S. Of
ficers have resided and done business there.
Gen Harney in takinc exclusive rwv:scRrm

A HISTORY OF ALL RELIGIONS:
Containing a statement of the origin, develop
ment, doctrines and government of the religious

Duane Rulison, Quaker City Publishing House,

The subject of Religion and the Doctrine Sects
must always have an absorbing interest for the
thoughful observer, and a woik which affords
the desired information, in a convenient and ac
cesseible form, at a moderate price, has been ur
gently demanded, and will be sought fur with
avidity, and must command a large sale,
In the present work, the origin, developement,
doctrine belief, Church government and peculiar
ities of over eighty different religious sects, are
treated in a style clear, compendious and accur
ate, And will afford all the information which
might be procured with great difficulty and ex
pense, and much labor and research, from the
larger polemirl works and encylopedias.
Dr. Smucker has evidently prepared this work
with much care, and it exhibits great abilitv and
learning. The articles on the different religions
are very impartially written, and show the care
ful study of an unprejudised and sound mind ;
and the importance and value connot be too high
ly estimated of such superior and unbiassed 'ef
fort in a work of this kind, as too often, those
pretending to give correct information upon such
subjects are prejudised in favor of some particu
lar sects or denominations. Mr. Rulison has
brought cut the work in a very handsome form,
and the public is indebted to him for a very
valuable, instructive and useful book. The
price, $1.00, is remarkably low for such a work,
and in order that it may have a rapid and ex
tensive circulation, he will send it to any ad
dress, accompanied with a valuable Gift, on the
receipt of the price and twenty cents to prepay
