cellent works and are worth four times
their subscription prices. The Gazette is
only $3, and the Journal $2 per annum.
Address Frank Leslie, 12 & 14 Spruce
St. N. Y.
Dave Gwln.—We had occasion to pass
D. P. Gwin's splendid store last evening,
and were surprised at the crowds of ladies
and gentlemen there. On inquiring, we
understood, that Dave had just received
another tremendous stock of new goods.—
Go in, ladies and gents, there's where to
get your money back.
Courtship and Marriage.—We have
received this admirable work of Mrs. Rentz
from the Publisher Peterson, 102 Ches.
nut St., Phila. It is written in a charm

thrill of deep and exquisite pleasure.—
Only $1,25.
A New Hotel.—We invite the attention
of travellers and the public generally to
the advertisement of the "Farmer's Home"
Hotel, in another column. Mr. McMani

Clothing•—Roman's Clothing Store is
the best and largest in the ten counties.--
Just call up at Roman's Mammoth Cloth

of clothes in the village. He sells at city
prioes and none but good articles.
New Preacher.— fhe Rev. Schouff
preached in the Court House, on Sunday
last. He is stationed here by the Balti
more Conference. We had not the plea
sure of hearing him, but we are told he
made an eloquent sermon.
The Exchange.—Col. Johnson has be
come proprietor of tho "Exchange" Hotel,
and has fitted it up in a grand style. A
pleasanter home than the "Exchange,"
cannot be found, or a more obliging landlord,
than Col. Johnson.
Beautiful Flowers.—We would tell
our lady friends and our bachelor friends,
too, if they want to see something magnifi
cent, look at Mrs. T. H. Cremer's flowers
in full bloom in her window. They can
na t be bent.
Peace, Peaces—The Ministers of the
different nations of Europe by the lest ar
rival, therefrom, have concluded a peace
and signed the articles. The good times
coming, boys.
Catch Him —A fellow entered the
dwelling house of Mr. John Hildebrand,
on Monday and, taking Mr. Hildebrand's
coat, left his own thread bare one for pay.
NOW House.—We notice that Dr. Miller
has built a fine edition to his mansion.—
The Dr. is a clever fellow, and we rejoice
to see him so rapidly becoming wealthy.
Accident.-1-lenry Decker was very
severely injured by falling off a train of
oars on the Broad Top Railroad, last week.
lie Is recovering, however.
Ladies' Fair.—Don't forget the ladies'
fair next week. The girls are looking for
you.
Opeo.—The water has been let into the
utaging Canal." Boats are now passing.
Troubled in Spirit.
We perceive that some of our brethren
are greatly troubled in spirit, least, after
all the invasions of Kanzas, by the Miasma
ri barbarians, and all the murders and rob
beries committed by them on the free state
settlers in Kansas, and all the previous
Laws, to which Pearce has called upon :he
people to submit under pain of military ex
ecution, the people of Karma may, after
all these things, in despite of all their ene
mies, and all that the Federal Government
could do to enslave them—the intrepid
sons of the free states may finally triumph,
and establish a State Government, founded
on the broadest principles of universal e
quality of rights, and aid one more to the
list of free states, even within the short pe
riod of the next six months. We know
that the apprehension of this, sorely dis
appoints and grieves the whole body of
the three hundred and fifty thousand slave
proprietors, who have for so long a time
weilded uncontroled authority at Wash
ington, in all the departments of the Fede
ral Governtnent. Nor is the distress of
the Dough-faces of the free states, espe
cially in Pennsylvania, less keenly felt.—
Already we have these gentlemen lament
ing that the Union is on the point of being
dissolved, unless the House of Represen
tatives recall their Committee of Inqui
ry and Investigation into the barbarities,
murders, and other felonies which have
been committee: in Kanzas, by the barbari
ans, who have rioted in Kanzas during the
last year. The Dough faces bewail the
sad disasters that must follow the punish
ment of the felons in Kanzas, or even the
opening before the world of their felonies,
then alleging that the slave-holders are
men of delicate and tender sensibilities,
and cannot and will not bear to bo arraing
ed before the world as lawless vagabonds ;
and that if any such thing is attempted a
gainst the honor and chivalry of the South
—the high-souled South will hrst make a
fierce and bloody onslaught up on the free
States, and then go home and dissolve the
Union.
Now the dough-faces know very well,
that the slave-drivers in Congress and out
of it, have declared the Union actually to be
dissolved, at least a thousand times within
the last ten years; and the dough-faces
have as often wailed over the lost Union.
Yet the Union hangs together— .4eed the
Union seems to be like the serpent of the
eminent fable, which, however you might
cut it in pieces, and to whatever distance
you might separate the parts, yet as soon
as the divided members were left to them
selves, they instantly overcame all obsta
cles, whether of earth, of air, of fire, or of
water, and instantly returned to the place
where they were severed, and uniting,
became again the same living and undivi
ded snake.
If we of the present day, can but pre
vent and head off the invasions of slavery
upon the pure soil of the Republic, and
confine this great national reproach within
its present limits, this great plague spot
and cancer on the breast of the body poli
tic of the Republic, will have gradually
died out and faded away, leaving only a
historic sear upon the name of tliu country
and at that day our children will be a band
of brothers from Mexico to Canada.
Notice Extraordinary.
We may sometimes for sake of amuse
ment, notice the articles written by the
editors of the Huntingdon American, but
they must really pardon us this week, for
passing over those signed ~R epublican
Meeting," and "The Journal's Platform."
They don't contain much “venom" but af
forded use hearty laugh, as the composi
tion of a School Superintendent. "Its Co
lors," is somewhat better, and you will no
him gents, we touch it briefly. The talen
ted attorney who produced it, is "some,"
(not "sam") and "that's a fee'."
A Short Query.
The editor of the Huntingdon .qmerican
acted as Secretary at a meeting to appoint
delegates to the Union State Convention,—
admitted. Now why does he refuse to
place the names of the nominees of that
Convention at his mast-head and give them
his support? Has'nt all the clock-hollers
been seen yet? We would like to know.
Tile American party of this county will
give the ticket at our toast-head, a hearty
support, Mark it.
Question for Debate.
Is a "Parthian" a ' , free negro," a "ruf
fian" or a "frozen viper 1"
In an article in the last Huntingdon A
merican, we are first called a "Parthian,"
then a "negro slave," and next, a "frozen
viper," "spitting venom," Oh Snaix !
frozen viper spitting venom. That is too
much for 'human natur.' We cave. Ha,
ha, ha.
"A Jburd so! on a hikry Um,
He winked at me, I winked at 'im."
Look at this Ye Christian Men
The Huntingdon Journal, that sterling
old paper, is now the only paper publish
ed in this county, which opposes slavery,
openly and manfully. The only paper
published in the county, that upholds
northern men's rights against the demands
of southern Nigger•drivers. All others
are sold to the "Sous of Beliel."
"The Galled Jade Winces."
The "Journal" receives a very sarcastic
lecture in the last issue of tbe Huntingdon
Smerican, from one of the most celebrated
and eminent lawyers in the—we were go
ing to say country—but we may add the
world! We would not have dared to no
tice his elegant article, had we not feared
that by so doing we might have failed to
meet his august desires,
All this whirlwind of whirligigs, ap
pears to have been caused by an unoffend
ing local item which we published aortaa
weeks ago relative to our borough election.
We said that a few individuals in this bor
ough of Huntingdon, were attempting to
control the politics of the whole county,
and simplified our language as to point di
rectly at those few. Our talented and em
inent friend first accuses us of ..denounc
ing the whole American party," and does
this, stepping out of the thresh-hold of
truth and moral honesty, for the purpose of
arraying the Americans of the county a
gainst the "Journal." Now mark the con
sistency. In the very same paragraph he
rightly and very properly admits we meant
few." Publicly, he contends it to mean
the whole party, of which he is prominent
and powerful a leader and chief, but with
his characteristic sagacity and shrewdness
privately declares it to be "the party hags."
Now we propose to explain our language,
and set matters right before the people.
When we declared that the defeat of the
American ticket in the borough was a re
buke to certain -worn out party hags, &c.'
we meant precisely what we said, And,
for our noble, talented and renowned friend
with a spirit of olden time chivalry, to
"dare us to say who were the few," whilst
at the same time he is making public pro
clamation through the land that he under
stand who we aim at, indicates most clear
ly thnt "the slipper fits the owner," We
have always believed, and will always be
lieve that certain individuals have joined
the American party for office. How ma
ny, we cannot any, but we think we will
not be far wrong in saying two, at least, in
this borough. Men who have become A
mericans from honest principles, for the
good of 'the country, could not believe us
to apply such language as "shabby office
seekers," to them ; of course not. We
wrote it, intended it, and pointed it at those
whose consciences marked them as guilty.
And now, in all friendship, let us say to
our giftcd, ciceroic friend, if he feels he
cannot conscientiously free himself from
the imputation of upettifoging office seek
er," then "Thou art the man" we meant.
We will not ice another little argument,
he produces to prove why the Americans
should discountenance the Journal. It is
a beautiful figure, full of that sarcasm, pen
etrating thought, and eloquence of lan
guage, of hinguag,e so poetic, so character.
istic of our talented, gifted, eloquent friend.
It is a beautiful, yea, magnificent idea; and
here it is :—.Esop, in his fable of the fro
. zen viper warmed at the hearth of the
" peasant, has left a moral that should n^t
be profitless to Americans of our coun
ty. The riper stung the hand that had
warmed it into life. Bring no viper to
" your hearth stones. It is their nature
c , to strike their poison into every thing—
" they have no friends. How like the
Journal! Americans, give it no foster
. ing care, if you would avoid its venom."
.lEsop, the good old man, has left anoth
er fable, "whose moral should not be pro
fitless to the Americans of the county," al
so. No doubt many of our readers have
read it a hundred times. The wolves wan
ted to devour the sheep, but could not
come at them on account of their faithful
guardians—the dogs. They then attemp
ted a strategem, (the same as our talented
friend now makes) to send away the faith
ful watchmen—the dogs. The sheep, lis
tened, the dogs were dismissed, and the
consequence was, the little flock was de
voured for its short-sightedness.
American friends, make your own com
ments. There are wolves among you.—
Wolves, as ravenous—tor office—as the
red-mouthed packs of Russia, for human
flesh. Will you listen to their deceitful
pleadings ? They know, aye, well they
know, that the Journal guards the little
flock with a never-sleeping eye, and now
they wish to eat out your substance, and as
a preliminary more bid you dismiss your
guardian.
Beware, we say again, of these smooth
tongued hypocrites. Of wolves in sheep's
clothing, Spurn them, as you value your
nationality ; listen not to their insinuating
deceptions if you love your country.
HON. JOHN WILLIAMSON.
The course of our above named talented
fellow-citizen, in the Philadelphia Nation
al American Convention, is made a mark
by one or two little-minded men of this bo
rough to render him unpopular. Mr. Wil
liamson acted an free Northern men should
act ;as timorous creatures like his malig.
ners would not dare to act. The people
of the county know John Williamson, and
knowing love him. He may not be so ac
tive on his heel as his coveting haters, but
then, he has what they lack, the head aad
something in it, too.

NGDON JOURNAL.
Shall Kansas be a Free or a Slave
state 1
A number of articles which we notice in
the last issue of the Huntingdon .Imerican,
from its editors and other of our fellow-citi
zens, show one of the most interesting de
velopments we have met with of the pro
cess of deterioration and perversion, thro'
which a selfish feeling has led an "organ"
to part with a large portion of its birth-right.
Not merely bartering that birth-right "for
a mess of pottage,''—patronage—but trans
fusing into it a base alloy, which robs it of
the original purity, freedom, freshness, with
which it was endowed. Wo quote a single
sentence which indicates its scope, 'Shall
Kansas be a Free or a Slave State l'—a
very appropriate platform for the party
that is not known from "spavined horses,"
to stand upon." Almighty God, and has
it come to this. Christian men, men of
intellee6of learning; great men, denoun
cing freedom ; sneering at the efforts of
freemen to preserve the virgin soil of Kan
sas from the direful curse of human bon
dage. Yet so it is. - A paper, professedly
American : men professedly Christian,
with all the malignity of fallen spirits as
sail us, censure us, misrepresent us for da
ring to stand up for northern freemen's
rights; for the freedom of Kansas ; for the
restoration of the Missouri Compromise.
No sophistry, evasion, or collusion can
change the historical fact, that the Com
promise was made for the purpose of set
tling slavery agitation in this country, for
ever. The framers of that act unanimous
ly bound themselves to each other, to the
Christian community, to their country, and
their God, that the Compromise should be
to the American people North, South, East
and West, the bond of a perpetual and har
monious Union. This compact has been
so understood by all our beloved associates
the dead and the living. Never have we
heard from a Northern American patriotic
editor an intimation that it could hate any
other import, up to the present time. Eve
ry act of Congress, up to the day the
Compromise was declared a nullity, was
based on this understanding. We have
considered it so; we have enrolled our
names upon the list of those who battle for
human rights, and we will uphold our prin
ciples to the last.
In our labors to fulfill this sacred com
pact, we feel that we can bear to be misre
presented or censured; that if smitten on
the one cheek, we can, by the grace of
God, 'turn the other also,' until seventy
times seven ;' but we cannot, we dare not,
and so help us God we will not violate our
solemn trust ; the laws of God and the
laws of the land forbid it.
And now, before concluding, let us
glance at these articles in another point of
view. Is the language of the last Hun
tingdon American orthodox ? Is it the
creed of the American party of Huntingdon
County ? Do the Americans of our native
county, uphold suoh doctrines as that pa
per promulgates,— ,, Slavery to Kansas, no
Compromise, southern power and war to
the knife on republicanism ! ' such is the
import of the latest articles in the Anuri.•
can. We have alwayc considered ourself
an American, holding American principles,
but, if to be an American, requires us to
uphold slavery, to play the part of a north
ern dough-lace, to overlook the grand prin
ciples of constitutional liberty, to consider
private gain and personal interest para
mount to the great interests of the whole
people, we declare the sacrifice too great,
too great. If to be an American, requires
us to sacrifice every principle of right and
justice, to tear from our hearts every feel
ing for oppressed humanity, in one word,
to oppose the laws of liberty and equality,
as the American does, God forbid that we
should be a member of such an organiza
tion.
But, thanks to the patriotic founders of
our national creed, such are not the requi
sites. Free speech, free men, free labor,
FREEDOM, in its widest and most com
prehensive sense, is the only requirement.
Americans, say you not so ?
These are our views, our opinions, and
the rights for which we contend. Think
you they are calculated "to sting the hand
that warmed them ?" Think you they are
"poisonous." Ah, no, they are the doc
trines you uphold--the doctrines which
will live and flow . ish and spread, when
such as are promulgated by dishonest par
tizans through the columns of the Ameri
can shall have found an ignoble grave.
The call of the nigger•driver's friend, on
Americans to "give it (the Journal) no fos
tering care," will meet that honest indig
nation from Americans, it deserves. Prin
ciples and honor, are dearer to us than our
daily bread. And we have the promise of
the divine word, "Trust in the Lord, and
do good, and verily thou shalt be fed," wo
have found its fulfilment in the experience
of others, and we will not distract the word,
and grace, and providence of God. Our
motto is "Better is a little with righteous
ness, than great revenues without right."
"Honesty is the best policy."
"Liberty and Union" is our aim. If
we sink in sustaining it, we perish in the
cause of the country ; and can go down in
thu proud assurance of having done our
duty. Of having supported the cause of
humanity in preference to self interest.
Signed and Sealed•
"A. letter from the Hon. James Buchanan
has been published in the Warhington Union,
endorsing the repeal of the Missouri Compro•
miser'—Exchangc.
Then the lion. James Buchanan has
signed and sealed his own political death
warrant. No northern man can conscien
tiously aid in elevating a nigger•drivcr's
friend to the Presidency. The than is
approaching when to be popular, will not
require a man to sacrifice his principles of
right and honor.
Borough Election. —The election for
borough officers, hold in this place on
Monday last, resulted in the success of the
fusion ticket, composed of Republican
Whigs and Democrats, over the Ameri
can.
The majority for the fusion candidates
ranged from 27 to 37.
Now we hold that this is another exam
ple to the American party. For, it is large
ly in the majority in the borough, but it
contains honest men, who will not be the
tools of office seekers. It is another Fill
more "ratification" over the left. Now,
Mr. “Its Colors," you see how you can
control the Americans of the county. Full
particulars given next week.
The following gentlemen were elected.
Those in italics are Republican Whigs;
Democrats in Roman :
For Burgess—John Simpson, A. McCoy
Thos. Fisher.
Town Council-11. Cannon, J. West
brook .1. Snyder, H. Lower, B. Graffius,
D. Black, B. Cornprobst.
Supervisors—William Steel, J. Africa.
✓/soessor—F. B. Wallace.
Constable—David Long.
G Republican Whigs, 8 Democrats.
Rope Jumping --Some of our seinor
juveniles were enjoying themselves in this
pleasant exercise on Monday last, on Smith
St. We thought they had better been at
the dough-trough.
For the Journal.
SHADE thir, April 3d, 1536.
Messrs. Editors:—lt has been my privilege
to be present at the examination of Greenwood
Female Seminary, under the care of the Rev.
J. Campbell, Principal, held at this 'dace on
the 28th of March last. The young ladies were
examined on what had been subjects of study
during the session—Geography, Grammar, \a•
tarot Philosophy, Arithmetic, Watts on the
Mind, &c. They gave satifactory evidence of
assiduity, and of the pains taken by the Princi.
pal to make them solid rather than superficial
scholars.
Thu parents and others who were present on
the occasion returned home highly pleased with
the exercises of the day.
It in with great pleasure we recommet;tl the
above Institution to the favorable notice of pa•
rents and guardians, who wish to give their
daughters and wards a good education.

MEDXCAL VAPORS,
JOHNSON STEWART ROSE, M. D.,
rof the Royal Coliege rj Physicians,
and for years o§l'enior Physician in the Lon
don &yid Icr discus.; of
the I, :VC S.
IN this age of progress, Medical Science has
contributed her full share to the general wel
fare, nail that which shines resplendent, the
brightest jewel in her diadem is ItII,IIIOAL VAPOR
INHALATION in the ire: '.meat of Consumption
and kindred abeetions. The treatment hitherto
pursued has been faulty and wohilly inefficient ;
the stomach being made the receptacle of nause
ous oils, and a host of other nostrums ; all these
too, being expected to act upon the lungs ; the
failure to eradicate, or even stop the ravages of
the disease, in nearly every case of well-develop
ed Consumption, is surely warning enough to
the Consumptive to shun such a treatment. The
disease is not in the Stomach but in the
COMM. sense will at once teach, that medicine
applied in the form of Vapor, directly to the dis
eased surface of the Lungs, will be far more ef
fectual than ntedic'ne taken into the stomach.
The success of "Medicated Vapor Inhalation"
in treating di senses of the Lungs, exceed my
meine expectations, and I earnestly appeal to
the intelligence of all afflicted, or who may have
the germs Of sickness within them, to embrace
ut once the soothing healing, and successful sys
tem of Medical Vapor Inhalation, as the ONLY
"Ark of Refuge" for the Consumptive. I offer
to put it within the reach of all, and can so ar
range it, that the invalid is never requited to
leave home, where the hand of friendship and
affection, tend so much to aid the physician's
eflbrts. Where there is life there is now hope
for the most seemingly hopeless cases, as thro -
out all the stages of this insidious disease, the
wonderful and beneficient effects of the treat
ments are soon apparent. In cases also of
BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA, ace.,
the inhaling of powders and vapors have been
eminently successful, and to those Buttering un
der any of the above named complaints, I can
guarantee speedy and certain relief. I have
pleasure is referring to TWO HEMMED too go
yon names, residents of New York and neigh
borhood, who have been restored to vigorous
health. About one-third of the above number
according to the patients' own statements were
considered hopeless cases.
. . .
The inhaliiig method is soothing, safe and
speedy, and consists in the administration of me
dicines in such a manner, that they are conveyed
into the lungs in the form of a vapor, and pro
duce their action at the seat of the disease. Its
practical success is destined to revolutionize the
opinions of the medical world, AND /MARIAM
THE ENTIRE censnicrry OF CONNUMPTION.
Applicants will please state if they have over
bled front the Lungs, if the) have lost flesh,
have a cough, night sweats and fever turns, what
and how much they exporate, what the condition
of their stomach and bowels. The necessary
Medicines, Apparatus, &e., will be forwarded to
any part.
TERMS.—Five dollars, consultation foe.—
Balance of the too payable only when the pa
tient reports himself convalescent.
RECOMMENDATION BY PHYSICIANS.
We, the undersigned, practitioners in medi
cine, cheerfully and heartily recommend Dr. R's
method of treating diseases of the Loup and
Throat, as the best and most effectual ever intro
duced into the medical practice. Our convic
tions are based upon having several of our own
patients, confirmed consumptives, restored to vi
gorous health, after n fern months' treatment by
Dr. Rose. In the above named diseases, the ap
plication of "Medicated Vapor." inhaled direct
ly into the Lungs, may be Justly considered as
a great boon to suffering humanity, rendering
consumption a perfectly curable disease.
Dr. WHIR deserves well of ties Profession for
his unwearied labors in bringing the inhaling
method to such a degree of perfection.
