ger The Pennsylvanian, having become
alarmed at the decided manifestations of oppo
sition to the Nebraska bill in this State, has
been laboring industriously to.prove that Sla
very will never be introduced into Nebraska
and Kansas. On the other hand the Washing.
ton Sentinel, the organ of the South, says that
"recent developements have shown that the
Kansas territory is in the highest degree adapt
ed to Slave labor, and that the equal laws of
labor, if unchecked by wilful and organized
opposition, MUST INEVITABLY INTRODUCE THE
INSTITUTION OF SLAVERY THERE !" IS the
Pennsylvanian cheated, or is it trying to cheat
the North?
COULDN'T KILL. 11151.=-The (S. C. ) Colam•
hien says:—"ln Barnwell, S. C., a few days
ago a negro man was struck by lightning.—
His scalp, for the greater part, was torn up from
behind forwards; the fluid then passed down
the sides of his neck, reached the breast, which
it lacerated severely, and thence passed down
each of the lower extremities, tearing a wide
gash all the way down. Yet strange to say,
he was not killed, but bids fair to recover.—
The rain descended copiously immediately af-
ter the stroke, and to this the negro probably
owes his life."

What Good is to Come of It/
When the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
was first suggested, many presses and public
men, foreseeing mischief, warned the country
against the agitations which must inevitably
follow. So far from "removing the slavery
question from Congress and settling it forever,"
the very reverse was predicted, and passing
events furnish daily proofs of a renewed agita
tion as bitter as any that has ever yet endan
gered the bublic peace. In the Charleston
"Mercury" of the 21st tilt. we find an article in
which the present condition of things is briefly
portrayed. The Mercury says:
"The spectacle presented by the North and
the South at the present moment is well calcu
lated to arrest the attention of thoughtful minds.
In the former we find society convulsed, all the
slumbering elements of sectional bitterness
roused, and slavery agitation awake again, af
ter its brief and delusive sleep, strengthened by
new accessions and eager for the onset. Nev
er before has the Northern sky portended such
a storm. Never before have the Northern press
ap Abolition.p hed so nearever b efore , tounanimity Nerall
other in the cause of
is
sues so far buried, and the sentiment and voice
of that whole section so united in war in the
South„ * * * * * * *
"Such is the state of things at the North.—
Flow is it at the South? All is calm and easy
indifference. The thunders which came rol-
ling from the North die away before they reach
our latitude, or, if heard at all, are scarcely
heeded. The contrast thus exhibited between
the active and fierce energy of the assailant
and the quiet apathy of the assailed is most re
markable. What are its causes? Does the
South feel safe and secure? Has she no bitter
recollections which bristle up nt the name of
Abolition? Does she look for peace when the
cry is 'war to the knife?' Is she so infatuated
with her own strength as to despise the aims
and power of fanaticism? We leave these
questions to be answered by others."
The "Mercury" then quotes the views of
of Northern prints to show the growing feeling
of bitterness which has been re-kindled, and
the ulkra measures recommended by journals
hitherto deemed calm, conservative, and just.
In reference to the modes proposed at the North
to bring about a repeal of the Nebraska bill it
says:
"If we look now to the South, we will discov
er great variance of opinion on the Nebraska
bill. By many it is regarded with indiffer
ence; by some openly opposed; while the mass
look upon it as a thing of so little practical
good that it is certainly not worth the labor of
an active struggle to maintain it. This is the
tone of some presses in our own State. OUT
SIDE OF IT MANY COULD DE ENUMERATED. The
New Orleans Bulletin, speaking of the unani
mous feeling at the North against the bill, uses
the following language:
"So much for the Nebraska bill, which we
have opposed as a Southern man, bound to our
section by every tie of inclination, friendship,
and interest, because we deemed its introduc
tion inexpedient, impolitic, and calculated to
do harm, although we have ever maintained,
and shall ever maintain, that the principle of
non-intervention embodied in it—the principle
that the people of the Territories, when they
propose to come into the Union as States,have
a clear right to control their own domestic af
fairs as suits them—is right and proper."
"There is no compact sectional sentiment at
the South in favor if the Nebraska and Kan
sas bill, while at the North there is the most
intense hostility to it. What is to be done?—
Can the South stand listlessly by and see the
bill repealed, when this i.e made the direct is
sue against her, and the bond of unton, which,
once secured, is to be used fiercely for her ru
in? If the matter coded with the repeal of the
Nebraska bill it might bepermitted. But when
Abolitionism intends to stoop to this measure
merely because it will unite the North against
the South, and secure a triumph which it can
press to the worst acts of aggression upon her,
how can she remain indifferent to the result?
If she prises the citadel, can she neglect the
outposts? There is no alternative for the South.
When the North presents a sectional issue, and
tenders battle upon it, she must meet it, or
abide all the consequences of a victory easily
won by a remorseless and eager foe. That she
has not a better issue is her own fault."
We have more than once referred to the lit
tle value set upon the Nebraska movement as
a sectional gain by the reflecting people of the
South, who must, however, under a painful ne
cessity, take sides with their own section. Tru
ly does the Charleston Mercury say that 'the
spectacle presented by the North and South is
well calculated to arrest the attention of thonght
ful minds." Truly does it say, too, of the peo
ple of the South in regard to the Nebraska bill,
that "the mass look upon it as a thing of so lit
tle practical good that it is certatnly not worth
the labor of an active struggle to maintain it."
The Mercury, by no means inconsiderate in the
utterance of its opinions, notwithstanding an
ardor natural to its position, evidently feels
that the South, in accepting the "boon" tender
ed by a fragment of the North, has gained no
thing but a crop of troubles, and that the peace
of the whole Union has been most needlessly
imperilled. It was this apprehension which in
duced the National Intelligences to raise a
warning voice against the repeal. It was this
belief that induced it, at an early moment of
the agitation, to ask its conntrymen to pause
ere they broke up au old and beneficient ad
justment. And now what has the South gain
ed, and what has the whole country not lost?
It gives us no pleasure to record these evi
dences of sectional discord, but as faithful chron
iclers we feel bound to lot our readers under
stand the prevailing sentiment both atthe North
and the South, and in so doing to invoke the
spirit of patriotism and conciliation still to lend
its soothing influence in quieting the troubled
waters.
He Won't Decline.
We have the authority of a number of the
leading locofoco presses for announcing that it
has been decided not to withdraw Gov. Bigler
from the canvass. While some of them admit
that no man who is leagued with Postmaster
General Campbell, has the smallest chance of
success, they appear well aware of another fact,
to wit: that by repudiating Bigler on the ground
of his Campbellism, they would lose the whole
catholic and Irish vote, and be left in a more
hopeless minority than before. Of the two
evils, they have wisely determined to choose the
least.—Lancaster Whig.

How are We to "Whip all Creation?"
The Boston Times of Saturday hod one of
the most sensible editorials having a bearing
on the manifest destiny, extending the area of
freedom policy which we have seen in a Dem.
ocatic paper for a long time. Commenting
upon the bill of Mr: Bocoek for re-organising
the navy, the Times says:—N. T 'Tribune.
"What is wanted is a large addition to our
navy of ships that shall combine all the mod
ern improvements. We should be in a position
to put afloat, at not more than two months' no
tice, a fleet that should be sufficiently powerful
to command the respect of Europe. The only
alternative is to refrain front talking of what
may he offensive to European Powers. if we
should make op our minds to remain content
lath our present vast possessions, which it will
require an hundred years to people in
.411, we
?teed not trouble ourselves about building men
of:war or of increasing our expenditures on the
navy. There is not the slightest probability
that any nation will attack us of its own will.
Fearful of our increase, England and France
may combine to assail us if we should take
measures to extend our territory, though that
would depend a good deal upon the direction
in which we should march.
"On the supposition, then, that we are to go
on 'annexing' every thing that we like, there
should be no time lost in putting the navy on
such a tooting as should make it equal to any
work that might be demanded at its hands. If
a war should grow out of our desire to have
more sugar plantations, it would be essentially
naval in its character. It would be waged in
the West Indian seas. Without command of
those seas we might as well look to obtain, or,
having obtained, to hold, Sicily or Malta as
Dubs,. The Western Indies have always been
the prize of the strongest maritime nation, and
they always will be. If we would have them,
we must cease gasconading about certain mat.
tees, and go to work al completi9 suck a um
as vo nation or combinatioa ol nations could
afford to regard otherwise than with respect.—
rt. may be very fine to talk about the ability of
the United States to have their own way in all
things, but sensible men know that if they
should come into collision with a stronger na
tion they would be beaten, and badly so. All
the heroism, bravery, and 'manifest destiny' ism
in the world would not save us from disgrace
ful defeats on the ocean, if our enemy should
have a decided superiority of force there. Some.
thing beside words would be found necessary
to meet all the results of modern science that
England and France have brought to bear up.
on naval warfare."
This is placing the matter in its true light
before the public. If we are to become an ag
gressive nation we must have a larger navy
and a standing army, with the oppressive con•
comitants of an enormous debt and heavy tax
ation. If we are content to keep within our
own borders, to confine ourselves to the legiti•
mate pursuits of peaceful enterprise, to improve
our already vast unoccupied domain, we must
quit gasconading and discourage fillibusterism
in all its forms.

A New Orleans letter says that the fate of
Cuba is sealed. It says that nothing short of
the hand of Omnipotence can save her now,
and the Queen of the Antilles, may set about

Uncle Sam. It does not matter a straw whe
ther we /tick up a war with her about the Black
Warrior case, or let that lake its place among
the thousand and one other indignities we have
impatiently endure,!. There is an expedition
on foot, having for its object her overthrow, of
a character altogether too formidable to admit
a loop upon which to hang a doubt. This is
positively true, and what is a little remarkable
there is no disguise whatever about it. Men
talk of it here as an event beyond the surveil
lance of chance.

into the house. saying he expected to die soon,
and wished to be laid out on the same. He
then ordered him to fire oil a gun, as he want
ed to see whether ho could hear the report.—
After this his wife asked him whether she
should send the negro to work in the field—he
replied net, that he was going to die, and wish.

For the Journal
Mn. EDITOR,—A CARD appeared in your
paper, of last week, signed by Hugh J. Camp
bell, of Juniata Academy, who was so signally
defeated, after a desperate effort, in the late
contest for County Superintendent of Common
Schools. It is very evident, from the scurrilous
matter contained in his card, that he feels sore
over his well-merited defeat; and desires to ex
cite the sympathy of his friends, by accusing
his successful opponent with "ungentlemanly"
conduct towards hint. Ho says, "in a case of
gentlemanly and courteous rivalry, where my
opponent had nut descended to such depths of
gross, personal, and false abuse, as appeared
in one of the county papers;" meaning, 1 pre
snme, the Standing Stone Banner, which con
tained a communication and editorial upon the
subject.
Mr. Campbell's organ of "gumption" must
be considerably on the cave-in order, if he pre
sumed that the Common School Teachers, and
those interested in the advancement of Common
School education, would let him pursue his sel
fish course, during the eampaign;without, at
least, a passing notice.
• In regard to the sentiments contained in the
communications which appeared in the county
papers, previous to the election, I felt no hesi
tancy in endorsing at the time; sad certainly
should have no reason for changing my opinions
since, as they were almost unanimously adopt
ed by the Convention of Directors, in rejecting
the resolution which was offered, censuring me
as their author.
Mr. Campbell's anomalous method of elec
tioneering, is proof sufficient that his chief de
sire was to have no rivalry whatever; and in
order to prevent, as much as possible, any one
cessful rivalship, he t not only, canvassed the
county, but urged the directors to sign "pledges"
to support him for Superintendent. If such a
course could be termed "a case of gentlemanly
and courteous rivalry," when there were a
number of other candidates, who did not think
it prudent to canvass the county; he should cer.
tainly allow all communications on the subject
to pass unnoticed, especially at this late day.
As it regards Mr. Campbell's influence with
his "numerous acquaintances," I have never
heard him charged with exerting any, simply,
for the reason that he had none to exert.
He could, probably, without much reflection,
recollect healing the words : "propose low fig
ures, for if we cannot do one thing wo can an
other." Did you hear such words Paonsson?
If you did not, a very reliable citizen of the
borough of Huntingdon did, so the least said
about the rause of the low salary the better, or
you might be brought to blush at sonic. of your
own statements. I love the first person to
hear say thnt the low salary was approved
through ki.v influence; for the reason that ke
was known to be incapable of exerting any in
hence whatever.
Tho vote he received in the Convention is
the best proof of his imbecility, for notwith
standing the unscrupulous exertions that were
made to secure his election, he still failed to
make even u respectable shore. I think the
Professor could point out some School Direc
tors, if he felt so disposed, whose expenses were
offered to be paid, from a suspicious source,
providing they would attend the Convention
and vote for him.
Many persons will, I have no doubt, consid
er it a waste of time and paper, by replying to
his card, as it amounts to nothing more than a
sickly expression of his disappointment in not
obtaining his desired object,—the County Su
perintendency. But I will, in this case, follow
the old maxim, and "answer a fool according
to his folly:'
Before I close, I would request all who have
not hnd an opportunity of reading the Caen
signed by this PROFESSOR of circular notoriety,
to, by all means, get one of last week's papers,
and give it a careful perusal; and I feel well
satisfied that after a careful analyzation of each
sentence, you will, at least, pronounce hint em
inently qualified to teach ignorance as a science.
I have never cherished any hostile feelings
towards this paragon of learning, or the Insti
tution of which he is the Principal; but he can
have the assurance that I will answer all he
publishes over Isis signature on the subject.
Ho has commenced the attack, and it will
not he any fault of mine if he does not receive
the benefit of it. I advocated the Common
School teacher's rights before the Convention
met, and I am happy to know that those who
have the charge of educational matters sanc
tioned my sentiments and opinions.
The very learned Professor, who received the
awful support of sixteen Directors, should not
condescend to write such cards; but rather be
out electioneering; as he might stand some
chance of being elected to Congress, yet, this
fall.
What next, PROFESSOR? If you intend do.
ing anything terrible—"come AN TAKE ME."

Cuba.
Exciting stories continue to reach us in re

intimates that the Administration is determin
ed to seize the island by force. He states fur

ber of Congress from Georgia, related as a fact,
of which he was personally cognizant, that two
thousand men were armed and organized in
his district, awaiting the signal from Washing.

their enterprise, and to be aided by its co-oppe

Quitman has sent a telegraphic despatch to
one of his friends in Congress, declaring that
he has not authorized the disclaimer of fillibus
tering intentions which some person has pub
lished in Isis behalf in the Union. The des

in organizing his force, and shall take Cuba,
whether the government oppose or assist in his

CHILD VOMITING UP A SNAKE-A little girl,
about fouryearsot age, residing in Centre Bridg
ton, in this State having been apparently out
of health for some time, and troubled with a
bad cough, on Saturday last, her mother gave
her a lobelia emetic, soon-alter which she vote
iced up a blaek snake. A physician was called,
and the child is now doing well. The snake
was covered with a scaly substance, was about
as large round an a lady's little finger, and 14
inches in length. It was alive when ejected.
HOW long it had been in the stomach is unknown
but probably, was swallowed in water when it
was very small as some time past the health of
the child has wasting away.—. Bangor, Sink ry•

Annexation of an Italian Principality to
the United States.
A letter from Paris to the New York Telb•
one, (latest ,Tune 10th. informs us that the Prin
cipality of Monaco, on the air es of the Medi
terranean, between Nice and Genoa, With a
population of 6500 sonic, al] two smell sea
ports, is a candidate for admission into the
Union of the American States. It contains
three cities, which cover nearly all its . area.—
They are Menton, the largest,Roquebrune, and
Monaco, the latter being the capital. The sov
ereignty of Monaco is-vested in the Princes of
that name; but froin : tho year 1814 until 1848
it has been under the protection of Sardine.—
In 1840, when all Europe was in a state are,
olution, Mentou and Roquebrune revolted, and
declared themselves independent. Monaco, the
capital, being occupies! by a Sardinian garri
son, remained faithful. The Sardinian Cham
ber of Deputies has recently prepared a pro
ject of law to incorporate the revolted cities
and nil the principality into the kingdom as an
integral part thereof; without any seperate rights,
and it was probably in view of this, that the
Duke of Valentinois, one of the Princes of Ma
naco, made an attempt in April to seize his
hereditary possessions. Ile tailed, however,
and both parties have appealed to the United
States representatives at Paris, to take posses
sion of the territory. The Prince wishes to sell
out to the United states his rights for the pur
pose of raising money, as he is in needy cir
cumstances, while the people of the principali
ty wish to be taken under the wing of the
American Union, in order to secure republican
liberty, and the protection of a powerful gov
ernment. The United States Secretary of Le
gation at Paris has undertaken to investigate
the matter. The seaports are said to be good
ones, and would prove valuable to us, while the
territory is described as rich in mines, iron,
mercury, &c.
Presents to the Japanese.
The brilliant success of Commodore Perry,
in negotiating relations of intercourse and am
ity with the Emperor of Japan, is now a settled
fact. We give a list of some of the presents
by which the way of negotiation was paved by
the gallant Commodore. Those for the Empe
ror consisted of, among other things:
A railway with steam engine; an electric tel
egraph; a surf boat; a life boat; a printing press;
a tine lorgnette; a set of Audubon's * American
Ornithology, splendedly bound; plates of Amer
ican Indians; maps of different States of Amer
ica; agricultural implements, with all the mod
ern improvements; a piece of cloth; - a bale of
cotton; a stove; rites, pistols and swords; cham
pagne, cordials and American Whiskey.
And for the Empress (presuming there is
one:) a telescope; a logneete in a gilded case;
a lady's toilette box; gilded; a scarlet velvet
dress; a changeable silk dress, flowered; a splen
did robe; Audubon 's illustrated works; a hand
some set of china; a mantelpiece clock; a par
lor stove; a box of fine wines; a box of perfu
mery; a box of fancy soaps.
Among, the other presents. perhaps the one
most valued was a copy of Webster's Complete
Dictionary, to the imperial interpreter. To the
high officers were given hooks, rifles, pistols,
swords, wines, cloths, maps, stoves, clocks and
cordials ' the last of which tinny fully apprecia
ted, and, us regards clocks, when it Was props
sed to bring an engineer from shiphrtnard to set
them going, the Japanese said there Was no
occasion tbr that, for they had clockmakers iu
Jeddo who understood them perfectly.

The battle between the - European and
the Imperial troops before Shanghai is thus
accounted for! The European and American
residents, being continually insulted and rob
bed by the Imperialists, who were beiieging
the city, formed a corps of three hundred vol.
unteers, with four pieces of cannon, and ac•
companied the insurgent garrison in making a
sortie on the 4th of April. After a lively com
bat the Imperialists were defeated end tied,
leaving the victors possession of their camp, ar
tillery, and an immense booty. Accounts dif
fer as to the other eircumstancds of the war.—
Some say that Pekitr was quite safe: others that
it must speedily Gall, and that the Emperor of
China had tied, with an escort of 2,000 horse-
The London "Standard" states that the Brit
ish war steamer Encounter and the United
States sloop Plymouth were engaged in the at
tack on the Imperialist forces at Shanghai.—
On hoard the Plymouth George /tlcCorkle was
killed, nod four others were wounded severely.
Capt. Pearson, of the American merchant ship
Rime Standish, was dangerously wounded. As
yet we have is detailed account of the engage
ment.
A War Wanted.
The flippancy with which a class of small
beer demegogues and heroes talk of a war with
Spain would be disgusting if it were not too
absurd and contemptible to inspire disgust.—
Theseworthies, hanging about pot:h '
ouses rea
dy for a row or robbery, in case their skulls are
not to he endangered, fancy that it would re
quire an "indignation meeting" or two is the
Park to annex the whole Western hemisphere
and whip Europe; and that all that is needed
to justify such a result is for neighboring Pow
ers to apply the same rule of government and
practice to Americans and American interests
—provided the practice offends such American
ideas of freedom and right—as are applied to
the citizens Red interests of other nations.
A class of AmericanS are of the opinion that
an American must be allowed to do just about
as he plums the world over or else we must
go to war. It is very easy to talk about war,
but not so easy to fight one out and foot the
bill, When notion of this sort comes, somebo
dy more courageous, sensible, and responsible
than the taproom portion of "Young America"
has to be consulted, and that peace•loving, in-
dustrious, sensible somebody is not going to
war without goal honest reasons for it.
If a war could be got up in which all the de.
magognes and mock-heroes who bluster so
much about "stripes and stars," "national hon
or," "manifest destiny," kr. would he brought
within point blank range of musket or cannon

injured, we should say "let it cone!"—A: I'.
