Stop the Thief.
A pair of splendid match horses, said to be
worth about $260 were stolen, a short time ago,
from a Mr. Thompson of Thompsonstowu, in
Cumberland county, Pa. They are said to
have been stolen by a man who was turned off
from a show which had been in this place some
time ago, and who traded them off to Isaac
Lewis, an honest man, living at Couch's Mill
in this county. It is said that Mr. Lewis gave
for the horses a fine young horse, a gold watch,
and his note for $75. It is said the thief has
since been seen in this neighborhood, and shot
at, the ball passing through his hat.
The latest account says that the Wreck of
the 87141 New Era lies in the same position,
with her masts still standing, and her hull full
of water. One hundred and sixty dead bodies
have been picked up.

permanent organization at the earliest day
possible.
New York. Election.
At length it seems to be settled that Clark
(Whig) is elected Governor of New York, by
a plurality variously stated at 283, 277, 272,
and thereabouts. It is so small that any im
portant variation in the official returns from
New York city may elect Seymour, (Dem.)
The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, of Saturday
evening, makes-the majority 211, and states
the full vote in all the counties but three at
153,233 for Clark, (Whig;) 120,514 for Ultnan,
(American;) 153,022 for Seymour, (Adminis
tration;) and 33,010 for Bronson, (National
Dem.) The Albany Argus, (Dem.) says :
"The election of Mr. Clark may therefore be
regarded as a 'fixed fact'—subject only to the
contingencies of extremely unusual occurences.
It is somewhat remarkable that the majority
against Governor Seymour now is very near
the precise vote by which he was defeated by
Gmv. Hunt in 1850.
The official returns from all the counties, ex
cept Schuyler and Putnam, foot up as follows
on Governor:
Clark, 134,869U11man, 121,050
Seymour, 154,592 I Bronson, 33,590
For Lieut. Governor the vote in 52 counties
is 125,540 for Raymond, Whig 87,828, for
Ludlow. This, however, does not include New
,York and Brooklyn cities. In all but eight
counties, the vote for Canal Commissioner is,
Fitshugh, Whig, 142,747; Clark, Administra
tion Dem., 108,873 ; Williams , National Dem.,
52,883; Burnham, American, 90,806.
Toe GRAND CATHOLIC COUNCIL AT ROME.—
The .4mi de la Religion, (Paris) of Oct 19,
says :—The Catholic world is at present occu
pied with a great event which is about to be
accomplished at Rome. Bishops are proceed
ing from all parts of the earth towards the
Eternal City at the voice of the visible chief of
the Church. From France, 11. E. the Cardi
nal Gousset has already left for Rome, and has
taken the way of Switzerland. The Bishop of
Mans has arrived in Paris, on his way to the
Holy City, and is to leave in the course of the
week. The Cardinal Archbishop of Mechlin
has arrived in Paris. Several Melt Catholic
prelates, and among them the Archbishops of
Armagh and Dublin, aro also at present in
Paris, and on their way for Rome.
Ireland is the only Catholic country in the
world from which more than two prelates have
been invited hr name. But we learn from
Rome that a great number of bishops are ex
pected, and that the presence of other prelates
than those officially invited, will be seen with
pleasure. All the bishops will take part ac
cording to their rank in the projected grand
general assembly. The assembly will be pre
ceded,by private meetings composed, wo are
told, solely of the prelates specially invited.
It is Mgr. Antici Mattei who has been nomi
nated Secretary of the Consistorial Congrega
tion. Amongst the French prelates who are
to go to Rome to take part in the assembly are
named the Archbishop of Paris and the Bish
ops of Marseilles, and Agen.
(Er Godey's Lady's Book, fur December is
on our table, at this early date. It contains
10 full page engravings. "Iroise God from
whom all blessings flow," is ono of those en-
gravings that are only to be found in Godey.
It is truly a fine engraving. The —Fashion
Plate is excellent, eying the style of fashions
for December.
This number finishes the year, and Mr. Go.
dey can say with proud satisfaction that he has,
in the matter of embellishments, Sc., perform
ed more than lie promised. In this number he
gives a Slipper Pollens worked in Colors.—
Ho is the first in England or America to do it.
In the January number he promises to give
something still handsomer than this. To any
anything about the literature of the work would
be preposterous; all know that none but the
choicest matter will be admitted.
Now is the time to make up clubs, so as to
insure early copies. The rush for the work is
always greatest at this season of the year.
V. offer the HUNTINGDON JOURNAL and the
Lady's Book, one year for $3,50 ; or the Book
alone for $3,00 and the Journal $1,60.

maces the foreign burn no right whatever—
nor tho shadow of a right—not a slimd nor a
patch that the liveliest imagination can make

The only positive work (adds the author)
which the Constitution dyes in regard to for.
eigners is to proscribe; we repeat& it—for the
wordy is so unfashionable nowm•days that
when used it ought to be emphasized—TO
SCRIBE. The Constitution has but five clau
ses touching the subject. Four of them are
prohibitory, and the other simply permissive.
We must be pardoned for recalling the very
language of the Constitution, for this progres
sive generation is that loosing sight of even the
plainest filatures of that document.
Section 5, Art..ll, of the Constitution says
"No person, except a NATURAL DORN CITIZEN,
or a eittzen of the United Slates at the time of
the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligi•
We to the ollice of President."
That is a proscription.
Section 3 of Article XII, of the Constitution
says.
"No person constitutionally inelligible to
the ollice of President, shall be eligible to
that of Vies President of the United States,"
That is a proscription.
Section 3, Article 1, says
No person shall be a Senator who shall not
have attained the age of thirty years, and been
NINE "YEARS A CITIZEN' of these United States.
That is a proscription.
Section 2,Artieli: 1, says:
"No person shall be a Representative who
snail nut have attained the age of twenty-live,
(2c) . years, and been seven A CITIZEN."
That is a proscription.
These are disabilities imposed upon foreign.
eta alter they have been made citizens. But
inc:,, than this, the Constitution leaves it die.
c , :cimiary whether to tnake them citizens at
al;. it simply confers the power, simply per-
Section 8, Article I, says:
"Congress shall haze paver to establish a
uniform rule of naturalization and uniform
laws on the subject of bankruptcies through
out the United States."
Nothing whatever obliges Congress to exer
cise this puwes, or restricts its range either di
rection when it is exercised. Congress may
require two years previous residence as was
required by the act of 1790, or five years, as
by the acts of 1795 and 1802, or 1-i years, as
by the act of 1798, or 21 years, as is now de
manded ;or it may withhold naturalization
entirely. The question is purely one of exile•
diency.
The Courier then goes on to show that there
is another blunder in supposing that naturali
zation confers the right of voting, or that it
has anything to do with the voting one way or
the other—thr says the editor :
"There arc naturalized people who cannot
vote, there are non naturalized people who can
vote. Foreigners in many of the western states
vote after a year's or a half year's stay in the
country, though a stay of five years is necessa
ry for a naturalization.
Congress can naturalize, but Congress can
not confer the power of voting. That power
is conferred by the States alone, and each ac
cording to its own sole discretion, in the way
defined by itself in its own State Constitution.
Each State is sovereign in that respect.
The Purchase of the Sandwich Islands.
LFront the San Francisco Herald, Oct. 23.]
This subject has been long under considera
tion, and attracted so touch attention that it is
of interest to the entire community. The last
rumor relating to the matter was, that the
American government had agreed to give
Bing Kamehameha $300,000 per animal du
ring his life, and the same to the heir apparent
while he exists, in consideration of their sur
rendering their claims to the sovereignts of
the United States government. The statement
is so entirely absurd as to scarcely require a
contradiction. It is to be presumed that those
at the head of our national affairs are at least
not destitute of common sense, and such a
statement as the above is a comslete contradie
timn to such a surmise. Intrinsically, the
value of the Sandwich Islands amounts to but
little. The whaling fleet has made them what
they are, and now sustains them, and when
once withdrawn, as it will be in favor of its
natural depot, San Francisco, the islands will
only de valuable for a coaling and recruiting
station for our anticipated China and Japan
fleet of steamers. To corroborate this opin.
ion, let us refer to facts. All will acknowledge
that the main foundation of the prosperity of
the islands must be their agricultural products,
yet California is shipping to them, by every
vessel thai leaves their ports, a considerable
amount of potatoes, barley, onions, &c. The
Flying Dart, whirls sailed but a short time
since, took 300 bags of potatoes, 20 sacks of
onions, and 100 bags of barley, and this is
but one vessel out of at least four a month
'which leave here for that destination. This
fact must be a heavy offset against their oil
chid account of domestic produce shipped,
which, in 1833, amounted to only $281.599 17,
notwithstanding in this amount a supposionary
calculation is made, charging each whaleship's
supplies
c is r g b i aTto the consideration . of the
amount asserted for the purpose of arguing
• the complete absurdity of the statement, we
give the full amount received by his Keisuke
Arajesty at the present thee, from the nation,
for the support of Isis dignity. It is taken
from the civil list, approved August 11, 1854:
Fur his Majesty's Privy Purse, $lO,OOO
For his Majesty's Roval State, 4,000
For his Majesty's Medical Attendant, 2,000
For her Majesty the Queen, 1,000
For his Royal Highness (heir apparent,) 3,000
For Prince Kamehameha, General of
and Privy Counsellor,
Total . $20,800
—Wide is the whole amount received by the
King and heir apparent.
We opine it would be a satisfactory specula
tion for his Majesty to sell out for the snug
sum of $300,000 per annum.
The whole receipts of customs amounted in
the year 1853 to $155,640 17, from which is to
be deducted the cost of the collection, leaving
the amount of net assets at a small figure.
That these islands will eventually be incor
porated into our Union is beyond a question,
but not on such exhorbitant and indefinite
terms. There is a possibility, if not a proba
bility, that the "heir apparent " may live
fifty years, and it is scarcely to be supposed
our government would lay itself liable to give
him twelve times the salary of the President
during that period.

T. the Editor of the I'laiitilealer:
DEAR Sim—Hearing that Doctor C. M.
Furcit, of New York, is lecturing in yuur city
iin Pulmonary diseases, I kel impellcd by a
sense of duty to tho public, and gratitade to
Dr. Fitch, to make known through your cut.
ums the effects in my own caso of that system
of treatment, of which Dr. Fitch is so able an
advocate.
My - family are nearly all consumptive. My
own constitution has always been slender ; and
when, at the age of twenty-five, I commenced
my labors as Minister of the Ooapel, few of my
friends thought it likely I should live to thirty.
My lungs were week; I was troubled with con.
stunt hoarseness and a hacking cough, expec
toration, night sweats, and habitual costiveness
with distressing nervous headache. A change
of climate from New York to Ohio operated
favorably, and for twelve years I was enabled
to act as pastor of the Baptist church in Brim
field. In the winter of 1814 I had a severe
attack of Erysipelas fever, which left me in a
decline. In the winter of 1818 I tools charge
of a protracted meeting at Mantua, laboring
night and day for four weeks, at the close of
which I found myself entirely prostrated. My
lungs were so week that it was with great dif.
ficulty I could speek so as to be heard. My
friends and ministering brethren became alarm
ed, and urged me to stop preaching, but I did
not realize my danger, and continued my labors.
I tried all the usual remedies—such as blister
ing, etc., to no benefit—l went down rapidly,
with increasing alarming symptoms. All hope
was gene, and the community considered the
past recovery. Fortunately, at this time, a copy
of Dr. S. S. Pitch's lecturer; fell into my hands
the reading of which rekindleda spark of hope.
I lost no time in applying to him, and on the
first of December—day of happy—memory re.
cieved a full supply of his remedies. I follow
ed his directions to the letter, and to the astou
ishment and joy of all my friends my recovery
was us rapid as had been my decline; so that
on new year's day I was able to visit my friends.
1 soon felt myself compelled to labor for the
the support of my family. During the summer
I performed the usual amount of labor. In
October following, by imprudence and expo
sure I brought on a relapse. The disease now
concentrated its whole force in my lungs.—
The cough returned with great violence; my
lungs became loaded with thick heavy 'nat
ter, without the power to throw it off. I im
mediately applied to Dr. Fitch again, but there
was necessarily some delay in getting the
medicine, My friends and physician said there
was no hope in the case. I, too, felt that my
end wan near, and made arrangements to leave
my family; and how could I think otherwise?
Fit'cit's remedies at length arrived,after us
ing which fora few days, I raised large quantities
of matter that would sink in water almost as
soon as lead. Those remedies saved my life.
Under them I continued rapidly to improve,
and in May was able to visit Dr. Fitch in New
York. Seven years had elapsed, and my health
is better than any previous period. A con
siderable portion of that time was spent in an
office, (I filled the duties of Recorder of Portage
county, Ohio,) writing steadily several hours a
day, and yet I found myself well able to bear
it. If my ease be not sufficient to prove con
sumption curable, I know not what can be
called proof. Dr. Earl, of Franklin recently
said to me, "Your case is almost a miracle, in
the history of disease." If it bo a miracle, it
is wrought by that treatment of which Drs. S.
S. & C. H. Fitch are the originators and advo
cates ; and my advice to all afflicted with pul
monary diseases, is to lose no time in applying
to a source from which they have no reasonable
hope of relief—to men who,devoting their whole
time and energies to the investigation of a pe
culiar class of diseases, have met with a degree
of success in their treatment never before equal
led. Hoping that this may bo the means of
good.
I remain, sir, year obedient gement,

ed with severe loss.
The Anglo-French reports do not give any
explicit denial. They merely says that:the
Russians story is improbable and exaggerated.
Tho allies state that two Russian ships had
been destroyed in the habor of Sebastopol; al
so, the quarantine batteries silenced, and a
bastion of Fort Constantine damaged by the
explosion of a magazine. It is at least evident
that that there has been sharp lighting.
THE LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.
LONDON, Saturday morning, Nov. 4.—The
accounts from the East are still conflicting, but
the English reports says the siege of Sebasto
pol was progressing favorably up to the 27th of
October.
A despatch from Lord Stratford de Redclifu
confirms the report that 30,000 Russians had
attacked and captured the forts of Rataklava.
A great battle ensued, and the allies remain
ed masters of the field.
THE ENGLISH OFFICIAL DESPATCH.
The following telegraphic despatch iu rela
tion to the battle at Balaklava was received at
the Foreign Office from Lord Startford de Red
eliffe, just before the Asia's departure.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 28—midnight.—The
captain of an English steam transport, which
left Baluklava on the evening of the 26th, con
firms a great portion of the information brimght
this morning by the French ship. It appears
that the Russians attacked the posts in the vi
cinity of Balaktava on the 2iith, their number
being about 30,000 men.
"The attack was unexpected. The cossacks
preceded the infantry. To resist them at the
onset were the Ottomans and Scotch. The
Turks gave way, and even left their guns,
which were seized by the Russians and turned
against them. The Scotch remained firm un
til other forces arrived. The Russians were
obliged to yield, but nevertheless remained
masters of two forts, front which they fired up
on the allies.
The regiment of English light cavalry were
exposed to a cross firs from the Russian bat•
terics, and suffered immensely."
The French took part in the affair with ad
mirable bravery. Next day this position was
attacked by 8000 Russians advancing from the
side of Sebastopol, us well as from Balaklava.
The enemy was repulsed with great slaughter.
The loss of the Russians must have beau very
great.
It woo affirmed that the batteries of Sebasto
psi were much elaekened, and according to the
reports of the wounded officers some of whoiu
have arrived at Buyukuere, the belief is ex-
pressed that the town would soon be in the

cavalry attack was made, which produbly cost
the English half of their light cavalry. Lord
Cardigan, who commanded, escaped with diffi •
culty. Lord Dunkelliu was taken prisoner.
The Greek accounts recieved from Odessea
confirm the above, and say that the English
cavalry lost 300. It is certain that the Rus

a still stronger corps was expected from Pere

mouth of Sebastopol harbor, the vessels of the
allies were much damaged.
The British are said to be within 300 yards
from the Russian works. The French works
are not strong enough, and have been much
