FOR GOVRENOK.
HENRY D. FOSTER,
OF WESTMORELAND COUNTY.
John Covodeaud the President,
On the 4th of March 1857, James Buch
anan Assumed the discharge of the duties of
the highest of earthly stations. A few months
previous a Nation of 30,000,000 of freemen
had elected him to the high and responsible
office into which he was then inaugurated.
It was too at a trying period in the history of
hare thought proper to invest him with the
most honorable, responsible, and dignified
office iu the world; and the individual, how
ever unworthy, now holding this exalted po
sition, will tcke care fo far as in him lies,
that their rights and prerogatives shall never
be violated in his person, fct shall pass to
his successors unimpaired by the adoption of
j a dangerous precedent, lie will defend them
to the last extremity apatnst any unconstitu
tional httcropt, come from what quarter it
may, to abridge the constitutional rights of
the Executive, and render him subservient to
any human power except themselves.
The people have nut confined the President
to the exercise of executive duties. They
have also conferred upon him a large mea
sure of legislative discretion. No bill can
become a law without his approval as repre
senting the people of the United States, un
less it shall pass after his veto by a majority
of two thirds of both houses. In this legis
lative capacity, he might, in common with
the Senate and House of Iiepresentaives, in
stitute an inquiry to ascertain any facts which
ought to influence his judgment iu approving
or vetoing any bill. This participation in
the performance of legislative duties between
the oo ordinate branches of the Government,
ought to insyire the conduct of all of them,
in their relations towards each ether, with
mutual forbearance and respect. At least,
each has a righl to demand justice from tho
other. The cause of complaint is that the
constitutional rights and immunities of the
Executive have been violated m the person
of the President. The trial of an impeach
ment of the President before the Senate .on
charges preferred and prosecuted against him
by the House of lieprescntatives, would be
an imposing spectacle to the world. In the
result, not only his removal from the Presi
dential office would be involved, but what is
of infinitely of greater importance to himself,
his character, both in the eyes of the present
cur country. A sectional party, a party
whose principles if carried out in the admin- I and of future generations, might possibiy be
iatration ijf the government would have re- tarnished. The disgrace cast upon him,
suited in the dissolution of the Union, or a
long and bloody civil war, had been defeated
by his election. He was known to ba a
Statesman, who kijew no North no South un
der the Constitution, and ho stood pledged to
maintain inviolate the Constitution and its
Compromises. lie had also previously de
clared that he wouU not be a candidate for
re-election to the cCice into which ho wa3
then inaugurated, and consequently had
no motive for doing wrcng. Under the a circcm
ttances he bad a right to expect to receive the
support of the patriotic portion of his fellowjciti-
zens, and at the same time to encounter all the
slanders and calumnies against Lis public and
private character, that the ingenuity of the
Disunooists, he had defeated could invent.
And o it has been; while the Democracy have
fearlessly sustained him, the minions of Black
Republicanism have persucd him with ficndlike
malignity. It will not be their fault if the
fature generations of men, do not regard him
as the lowest tnd vilest of mankind..
Our readers are aware that we have been
consistent in our support of the administra
tion of Mr. Buchanan. But we do not feel
disposed to quarrel with those who believed
that certain measures that he advocated were
wrong. If they honestly thought so they had
a right to think so. But they had no right,
because his views did not square with theirs
to assail his character for honesty and integ
rity, or to charge him with having in his offi
cial capacity countenanced bribery, fraud and
corruption. And the truth is many of them
were reluctant to enter openly on the work. I joyed all the offices and honors which my coun
would in some degree be reflected upon the
character of the American people who elec
ted him. Hence the precautions adopted by
the Constitution to secure a fair trial. On
such a trial it declares thai the chief Justice
shall preside. This was doubtless because
the framers of the constitution believed it to
be possible that the Vice President might be
biased by the fact that "in case of the remo
val of the President from office" the same
shall devolve on tho Vice President."
The arguments contained in the above ex
tract, are clear and convincing. It will be
an evil day for our country, when a few dem
agogues in Congress shall have it in their
power to degrade the chief magistrate of the
Republic, by making with impunity vague
charges against his official conduct, and car
rying on investigations in the desperate hope
of discovering that he has done something
worthy of ceusure. The President does not
fear an investigation, but he feels it to be his
duty to maintain his constitutional rights
If any act or acts cf his administration are to
be investigated, he demands that he shall be
proceeded against in the manner the Consti
tution directs. His record as President is
without a stain and he is willing that it shall
be submitted to the closest possible scrutiny,
and investigation, if his enemies desire it, but
he demands that it sha 11 be done in a lawful
manner. lie says.
I again declare emphatically, that I make
th's protest for no reason personal to myself,
and I do it with perfect respect for the House
of Representatives, in which I had the honor
of serving for five successive terms. I have
lived long iu this goodly land, and have en-
Thcy knew that the task was an odious and
dLgraceful one, When the time arrived far
performing the dirtiest part of the work they
cast abcut them for an appropriate tool to do
it with. They soon found that John Covode

try could bestow. Amid all the political
storms through which I have passed, the pres
ent is the first attempt which has ever been
made, to my knowledge, to assail my person
al or official integrity.and this when the time is
approaching when I shall voluntarily retire
trom the service of my country. I feel proud
the very article they wanted. Remarkable tf . . . . . . .

I defy all investigation. Nothing but the ba-
only for ignorance, impudence and love of
money, and notoriety, he at once entered on
lut discharge of tho disgraceful work, and
commenced shooting the bullets which the
members of Congress of his party, unwilling
to n$e their character for manhood and res
pectability altogether, had secretly moulded.
The people of Western Pennsylvania know

not fear even this because I cherish an hum
ble confidence that the gracious Being who
has hitherto defended and protected me
against the shafts of falsehood and malice
will not desert me now, when I have become
old an gray-headed.
This charge of fraud and corruption against
the President, has been started by tho Black

welcome to all the glory he can acquire in prominent leaders of the party had too much
manhood to consent to becoma openly respon
sible for the movement. They left the dis
graceful responsibility with John Covode,
who is mean enough and ignorant enough to
glory io his shame.
The Day is iircakln?.
The official returns of the recent elections
in Connecticut and Rhode Island, furnish an
other and a convincing proof that the sober
tecond thought of the people is always right.
The Black Republicans have been defeated in
their stronghold; the Jast pi aces where they
anticipated such results They are justly
dismayed at these evidences of a radical
change in public sentiment -in the North
which must inevitably lead to their overwhel
ming defeat next fall . The day of their
glory is over, and tho star of democracy is
once more in the ascendent. The result in
Connecticut may justly be regarded as a
democratic victory. The Republican major
ity is so meagre, and the democratic gains
over the election of last and former years so
large, that no reasonable man will doubt that
the current is running in favor of the democ
racy, and that they will carry the State next
fall without any difficulty. In Rhode Island
the victory is complete. All honor to her
gallant democracy for having achieved the
first democratic victory of 1SG0. The Dem
ocratic party has recently passed through a
trying ordeal. The timid and faint hearted
feared a few months ago that it could not en
ter the campaign of 1860 with, ,apy reason
able hopes of success. We never- belonged
to that number. We always believed that it
was still full of its original spirit in a word
that it was not dead but slumbered, and that
it -would come forth into the political arena in
I860, fresh and vigoro us with rest, and lik
Achilles the Grecian hero, mova forward in
spite of the assaults of its foes
"Resistless in its Course,
And seeming a match for more than human
force"
And so it has been. At this eaily period
of the campaign, the democracy are every
where preparing for the contest with the en
thusiasm, energy and vigor of men confident
of success They have already achieved
tvo important victories, defeating the Black
Republicans where they boasted they were
invincible.
A large majority of the American people
love their country and its institutions and
will not knowingly belong to a party the ine
vitablc tendency of whose principles is to de
stroy that country and those institutions
They are everywhere beginning to perceive the
treasonable tendency of the principles of
Black Republicanism, and are determined
a
that it shall be put down. The reign of fa
naticism and treason is over, and the Abol
ition leaders, the endorsers and eulosist of
John Brown's treason will soon be without a
corDoral's euard to Eustain them. If the
Charleston Convention performs iti work prop
erly, the Democrcy will elect its nominees by
a majority equal to that lor Pierce and King
inlS52.
gifj. lias the Cambria County. Agricultural
Society ceased to exist? The time for the
annual election of officers has long since pass
ed, and we can't see how a eociety can pre
serve its vitality without officers. The mat
ter should be looked to by the members of
the Society at once. Agricultural Fairs are
exeat "Institution s" and tho Farmers of
D
Cambria County arc disposed to encourage
them. They not only assist in the improve
ment of the noble science of Agriculture, but
tend to promote harmony, sociability and
good feeling among the citizens of the county
Let us have a Fair next fall by all means
By the way, we heard it suggested sometime
asro, that the next Fair should be held in
Johnstown. "Time about is Fair play" and
therefore as far as we are concerned we have
no oLiections to urse. But we are not cer-
j -0
tain that our Johnstown neighbors desire it,
or would be willing to assume the trouble of
makin? the necessary arrangements. Who
a w
speaks? We are all attention.
Since the above was set up we received an
advertisement for the election of officers,
which will be found in another column.
iTS7Weclip the following highly com
plementary notice of the late Legislature of
this State, from the Philadelphia Inquirer .
The Inquirer is one of the leading Black
Republican papers of the State, and certain
ly it3 testimony against the reprcsentaves of
its own party, is entitled to some weight.
Its comments are severe but they are meri
ted.
.Adjournment of the Legislature.
Yesterday morninir. at twelve o'clock, the
Legislature of the Commonwealth adjourned
sine die, after a long and disgraceful'struggle
over the General Appropriation bill, in refer
ence to the Salaries of the Judges of the Su
preme Uourt and the Courts of Philadelphia
county. The whole question was. whether
the expenses of the State should be increased
twenty-sixhuudred dollars to more adequate
ly remunerate an over-Xrorkcd, Lit under
paid, Judiciary. Had it been to increase the
pay of the legislators themselves, not a dis
senting voice would have been heard, and
with great self-complacency our legislative So
lons would have lauded to the skies the great
value oi their inestimable services and the
immense sacrifice of private interests tlftv
had made in leaving their quiet homes and" I
lovely families, and honest business, only to 1
serve their dear fellow citizens in the coun
cils of the State, and the appropriation; would
nave passed unanimously.
fcuch is the contrast between the values
men place upon their own labors and the ser
vices of others.
But both Houses of the Lcsislature have
adjourned, and for that one act we tender them
our hearty thanks; for never in the history of
l ennsyivauia. lias a session been marked by
more corrupt, wicked intriguing than the
present. Every good citizen feels the blush
of honest indignation tingling his cheeks when
he thinks of their proceedings. No measure.
however beneficial, could stand the slightest
chance of passing, unless by the profuse ex
penditure of money. Almost every man,
with some noble exceptions, had his price,
and, if common rumor be true, it was an
enormous price. If it could not be paid in
the hard cash, secure prospective profits were
just as good.
ockemcs were devised for depriving the
city of Philadelphia of the control cf her
streets, and men who had never been within
a hundred miles of the State House steeple
were seeking to obtain valuable urivileees
for nothing, with the intention of selling them
out for hundreds of thousauds of dollars.
The most iniquitous proceeding was the com
bining two, three, four, and often as many as
six bills, of the most incongruous description.
lor tne purpose of giving strength to mea
sures which could not stand alone without each
other's aid.
The remedy for these evils lies in tue hands
of the citizens. Let every man determine
to vote only for those whom he knows to bs
honest and capable, without so servile an ad
herence to party, and we should very soon
have a Legislature worthy of the Keystone
State. -

Poetry, Campbell assures us, "is but the
eloquence of truth." If this be true, the
following lines by Southey, are a specimen of
the genuine article.
They sin who tell us love can die;
With life all other passions lly;
All others are but vanity.
In heaven Ambition cannot dwell.
Ncr Avarice in the vaults of hell.
Karthly, these passions of low earth.
They perish where they have their birtL;
But love is indestructible,
Its holy rlame forever burncth;
From Heaven it came, to Heaven returneth.
Too oft on earth a troubled guest,
At times deceived, at time opprest;
It here is tried and purified.
And hath in Heaven its perfect rest.
It soweth here with toil and care.
But the harvest time of love is there.
OL! when a mother meets cn high
The babe she lost in i nfancy,
Hath she not tLn fir all her fears.
The day of wo, the watchful night, .
For all her sorrows, all her tears,
An overpayment of delight!

The Connecticut Election,
The Connecticut Election which took place
on Monday of last week, resulted in the elec

Governor, by a majority of 571 votes. Fre
mont majority in 1856 was 7720. Ceitainly
the opposition have but little reason to re

years they have sustained a loss of 7149 votes
and succeeded in carrying the State,, the mea

Island Redeemed.
The Election in Rhode Island on the 4th
inst., resulted in a brilliant Democratic Vic
tory. Wm. Sprague the Democratic Candi
date for Governor is elected by upwards of
2000 of a majority. The entire Democratic
State ticket is elected. Rhode Island has
for years been the hot-bed of Black Republi
canism, but she now stands forth redeemed
regenerated and disenthralled. The Demo
cratic horizon 13 every day growing brighter.
The people are determined not to sustain the
men who who declared John Brown a martyr
in the cause of humanity.

esteemed citizen of this county, died at his

was through life, an honest industrious, en
terprising and useful citizen, and acted well
his part on the great theatre of ths world.
His remains were interred in the Catholic
burying ground at Lorcttoon Monday. May
he Rest ia Peace.
Horrible Tragedy at Sea.

Master. The steamship Fulton arrived at
this port this morninr, having on board two
prisoners, who had been sent to the United
States by the United States Consul at South- !
ampton. The papers and facts already sub-
rait ted iu the case show one of the most fiend- !
ish tragadies ever conceived of by a human !
bciog. It appears that the bark Acna left
the port for the Brazilian coast in June last
the crew consisted of Captain Tuthill, EI
muud P. Lane, first mate, and Gordon Hires,
second mate, (the prisoners.) seven seamen,
all colored, and the Stewart From the Bra
zilian coast the vessel took cargo for Cowes,
England.
After leaving the coast of Brazil, it ap
pears that tho mates commenced a systematic
plan of excessive cruelties towards the crew.
On the slightest whim, a belaying pin was
thrown at a seaman, he was knocked down
and then stamped upon. On one occasion,
because one of the seamen did not move quick
enough he was struck a blow on the foreheai
which knocked his left eye out. The sea
men in question was then trampled down and
mashed almost to a jelly ly the heavy sea
boots of the mates, three of the crew jumped
over board and were drowned, while thre of
the others died from the effects of the inju
ries they received.
On arriving at Cowcs. there was bat one
seamen and the steward left to tell the tale of
horror. The survivors informed the local
magistrates of the scenes that had been enaet-
