Call round and see and examine his splendid instruments, and hear some good music. SCPERINTENDENT.-Mr. Albert Owen has been appointed County Superintendent of Corn. mon Schools, by the State Superintendent in room of J. S. Barr, resigned. So fur as acquainted with Mr. Owen, we know him to be a gentleman of ability and integrity, and in every particular calculated for the responsible duties of his appointment. Tux MAumovu Svonc.—J.& W. Saxton are just opening one of the largest and best assort ments of Goods ever brought to town. Call up and see their Mammoth Store. The spring styles are beautiful, the fabrics elegant, and the trimming the most musty see have ever seen. The stock of Messrs. J. .he W. Saxton is very extensive ; all tastes may be sa• tisfied, and we invite bur friends to look over it before they make their selection. TERRIFIC Ihmatc.rxe.—One of the most ter rible storms of wind passed over this place last Saturday night, within the recollection of the "oldest inhabitant." I3arns, bridges and houses -were blown down and unroofed, and other da mage done. The new bridge across the river at this place, erected two years ago, was blown down, not a stick of timber left standing ; it was completely and entirely destroyed. The chimney of "Exchange Hotel" were blown down, and several other hottses in town injured. We hear of barns and houses from all sec tions of the county, being blown down, but we believe no lives wore lost, with the exception of a boatman, who was swept over board and drowned in the Waterstr set dam. We will give further particularsas we receive them. EMIGRANTS FOR KANSAS.—the Colum bus (Ga) Enquirer mentions the arrival in that city, on the 3d inst , of Mr. Jefferson Buford, from Alabama, with a company of seventy men for Kansas. He was joined by thirty wore from South Carolina under Mr. Bell, of that State. A military recep tion, speeches, &c, signalized the arca. Ilion, and the emigrants were increased by the addition of about thirty persons in Columbus; so that the aggregate reached about one hundred and thirty. Thev dc• parted from Columbus on the 4th instant by railroad, the company having given them a free passage. ATCHISON AND KANSAS.--At a recent Kan. eas meetith in Columbia, S. C., letters were read from Atchison, saying, among other things "it understood by all parties that the tight will begin in the Sprtng ; that ho bud at .y too. ment the power to bring about a civil war ; that their organization is complete that they have taken steps to provide for those who come into the Territory without means of sup. port," Mr. Tradewell made the principal, speech and regarded the Katisus quarrel as the most bolieful means to bring about the dissolution of the Union, which he avowed was his object, as be believed it to he Mr. Atchison's ; but he said, . _ "here is no chance on the earth for the South when it cornea to votes. The only chance is to assist Oen. Atchison in the way of men and means for fightilig. If there is not a fight before the meeting of the Convention to pre. pare a constitution for Kansas, the lima will be preserved." A New Act. OF Asseaumr.—The following act has passed Loth branches of the Lcgisla• tore .d received the signature of the hover. nor : An act in relation to the appointment of Cal kctors of State and County Tam.—Section I, Be it enacted, d'-c., That the county commis sioners atilt) several counties in this COlllll,l • wealth shall Lase the power to apps i t collectors of state and county taxes, without being confined in thcir cl.oice to the persons whose names may be returned by the assessors anything in the nct passed fifteenth April nigh. teen hundred and thietylour, entitled "An net relating to county rates and levies, and tow • ship rates and levies,' to the contrary notwith• standing. _ - - PROSPECTS OF NEST HARTEAT.—The Alton Courier, of the 7th ult., expresses its op n• ion that we may expect another line crop or wheat, and the opinion is bleed upon the fol. lowing reasons: "The early winter was very mild, so much so that the late sown wheat, of which there is much, continued to grow to a much later dote than usual. Then the snow will have protected it from injury by frost. Lastly, such uninter rupted cold weather for so long period, and un til so late a date • augurs an uninterrupted springtime when it comes. It is further said that the number of acres put under wheat in that part of the country lust fall was greater than ever before known." The Chicago Juurnal saps :—"We must have large crops belt fall. The snow which has fah len during the past sixty days is equal to five inches of manure. People capable of estima• ting matters imagine that the wheat crop of 1856 will be the largest ever harvested in this country. To estimate the value of snow upon the grouna at ten million of dollen!, would be a l o w via," Shall Kansas be a Free or a Slave State 1 We observe that the "American" cop ies largely from the papers of Louisiana, which are bold in their laudation of the Presidential Candidate, which the "Am erican" carries at its head. These pieces are such ns might be expected to come from the cotton fields and sugar plantations of the lower Mississippi. Why dors not the "American" give its readers a wood cut of an overseer, of his short•han"led whip with a pound of lead in the butt, and n ten feet lash suspended from the other end 1— It is engaged in common cause with slave drivers of Bayou Lake and of Red River; the most bloody and merciless men on the Continent. See the last ' , American." ' , BLACK REPUBLICANS." The above is the name by which the Kanzas murderers designate the friends of freedom who favor the continuance of free dom in the Free States ; and who resist the invasion of Kansas and the other free Territories of the United States by slave drivers and their slaves. In all the Free States, except portions of New York and Pennsylvania, the American Order and the Republicans have united and formed butt one party. This great party of freedom thus united, has within the last month de feated the slave power in the purely con• tested State Elections of New Ilampshiru. Rhode Island and Connecticut; and will most assuredly be victorious in the coming Elections in all of the other New England States, in Ohio, and in all of the great States of the West and North-West. Thu Grand Council of the State of Ohio, act ing as Americans, have spurned the prin ciples of the Slavery Conventions at Phil. adelphin, in February, by a majority of more than three hundred to thirty ; and this without the aid of Republicans whose numbers are oven greater in Ohio, than the Americans themselves, When united, ns they will be at the Presidential Election. these joint organizations will sweep Ohio, like one of the great western tornados. Unfortunately for Pennsylvania and N. York, a few ill disposed men is each of these great States, have confederated to gether, under the name of Americans out nny of the true principles of the Am erican, for the the purpose of distracting the order in these two States for no other apparent object, or reason, than a pur pose of dividing the friends of freedom in those two States, and thus of throwing the vote of both of these Suites to the Demo cratic candidates for the next Presidency Whig no leaders of the order ourself, we can do DO more than advise such members as stand Opposed to the present wicked ad ministration of the Federal government. that they arc in danger of being divided and led to vote in favor of the great oligur. chy of slavery, and thus to ensure the es tablishment of slavery in Kansas, and all the other Territories of the United State's. To show how this stratagem is to be, and may be, nay will be effected.. let us take j Pennsylvania, as an example. In this State there are about 400,000 voters, of these, it is said, that there are full 100,040 Amertcuns. At the last Governor's elec tion, when there was a union of Americans, Preesoilers, Republicans, and all opponents of the further progress of the slave power, Pollock beat Bigler 37,000—but Baird the American candidate for Judge of the Su. preme Court, was beaten by Black the De mocratic candidate more than Pollock beat Bigler—the Whigs having a candidate of their own (Smyser) for the same office who received about 45,000. The Ameri cans and the Whigs were both at that time too selhoonceited and silly to come to any agreement, ns to the Judge of tne Su preme Court, and were both badly beaten by the Democrats. So it will be now, as to the President, unless some agreement of union can be mude, we are all certain of being beaten in P ; and as this State goes to will the Presidency, for the next four years. The other day a Convention was held to form a :tato ticket, for Canal Com missioner, Surveyor General, and Auditor General. In favor of this ticket, the Am oricaus, the Republicans, and all the other parties opposed to the further progress of *livery, agreed, and its election looked up on as certain. The Republicans and the same other parties, now opposed to Pierce again propose to the Americans, to hold a great national Convention in Philadelphia, on the 17th of June, to nominate a midi date for the Presidency who will receive the votes of all the parties opposed to the further encroachments of the slave j owor. Will the Americans of Pennsylvania refuse to join this union of the friends of freedom merely for the purpose of giving Penna. to the slave power, and defeating freedom everywhere ?

EDITORS :--Has Americanism in this county fallen so low that it requires the aid of the Romish Galileeau church to hedefended, and is an American - Journal of this county is the very centre of American feelings, the old county of Huntingdon with its hundreds of lea. jurity against Romanistn in all its faces, called upon to tell us what the Galilean church But yesterday the name American would have startled the world, the Pagan Pantheon paled before it, traitors trembled, and foreign Mo . ence fled as from a defeat ; but why this maul. sion; is it because t:,e great principles, free speech, free Bible, and free schools have lost any of their shams ; is not the American heart the snow? are not its principles immor tal and eternal? Let us look where this mice roes disease is, mid which must eventually overwhelm the cause if persisted in. Is it not in this, that some men are endeavoring to put slavery in Kansas and no free white labour on the platform, and push the party from her moorings by amalgamations, Galilean Human ise', and Cisalpine dogmas, and•superstitutioas upon her shoulders, all of which is attempted and engrafted upon the fair tree of American liberty. Does not Americanism embody the same imperishable principles of patriotic and constitutional right she ever did'? and truth lies at the foundation of all she bas ever do..— , Why then are our hopes less buoyant? is it not because men of our party are afraid to meet all the important issues of the day, for, • next to the undying principles of Americanism and the Bible, is there not another great issue to be decided. It cannot be blinked or the par ty would lie lost. And that issue is, no more sla very in Kans. and Nebraska. This must be 'net by the American party. That territory dedicated to freedom, sonetitied by the blood of our Revolutionary Fathers, consecrated to the poor white man nod his children, to free white laher. This virgin soil must never be polluted or pressed by tile iron heel of rho slave•driver. The Constitution forbids his tread upon this sacred soil. The air of that glorious country is ton pure for slavery to breathe I This doc trine bas,Aßen fully confirmed to the honor• of the, American party, not only Mune State coun cil, hut renffirtned in every other wherever tit., question has been mooted, and also by the Cincinnati National Convention of the Free States, which unanimously resolved that the in. fraction of the Nlissouri Compromise was a vio lation of the sacred constitutional right of the North, and must be restored or its equivalent; and on no other platform has the. American party stood since the general council in Phila. in ; when 'Pennsylvania, by her delega. then protested against the infamous 12th section of the slavery platform which sync forced upon them by a majority of the• South. This ereat party never was instituted to fight the battles of the silver grey whigs, the cottotenera ey of the city of Phila., Menton) pro-slavery, or to he in league with the Hdlican Romi,h ehureh of Louisiana, its mummeries or idola tries, er to h 6 the cringing vlissal of southern dictation or the subservient tool of Romish Gallicanism. It has a higher nod nobler null more elevated destiny 1 And yet this young, Hercules just in the cradle of its power and in fancy is about to be strangled by being pushed from the basis of the platform on whit h it stands, by being compelled to carry upon its mighty shoulders the dark and lowering clouds of slavery, and the mummeries and idolatries of the Gallicnn impish church of 1.40111311111. The American party asks no such auxiliaries. Her claims upon the mighty heart of the Amer ican people are, free Dilutes, free speech, free schools and liberty of conscience. When we ask what necessity is there for the "American," a paper at Huntingdon, to show its readers i that the Catholics of the Gallic. Church who arc under the dominion of the Pope are fit sub jects to dictate to their party, candidates for the suffrage of the American order? why an apology that the Gallicnn church is not Papist' and to show that they are toot in the Romish Hierarch ? Does not this departure from Ante- • ricanism startle the friends of Protestantism, and the true friends of the American party? Now to show that Gallicanism is popery, and • that popery is anti-Republican, let us look nt what that Unwell claims. Never has the lost' her grip on poorer from tho3eir 1070 down to Pio Nino, Gallic., Cisalpine, Transalpine, HI. tramontane, whether on the French side of the Alps or the Italian side, or Spain, or upon this continent of North America, has that iqfidliide apostacy ever ceased to claim temporal .and spiritual power, and fur the proof of this let us ' 1 see what the Pope ever claimed and what he now claims: First, according to doe history of I that antillepublican church, we find Innocenti 111 claiming to be equal with God. In the year 1212 he affirmed tho Pontificial authority so much exceeded the royal powers ita the non lath the moon. Ito also apptiod to himself the words of Jeremiah, the Prophet, of the coming of the Messiah, "See I have set thee over tho nations and over kingdoms to root out and 1)011 down awl destroy and throw down." Baronies a distinguished annualist and acknowledged de. fender of the Romish Church yip of the whole church that there is no doubt that the civil principality is subject to tho sacerdotal, and God bath made the political government nub. ject to the dominion of the spiritual church.— Anlonins and Pancras and all the Popes claim the sovereign power both spiritual end tempo• ral and niter applying the Bth Psalm to the Pope which is ascribed in the Bible to the Sn• viour of the world, this quotation "Thou host mode him it little lower than the angels," Le. They say the pope is greitteztliatt mat:, as eaith Ilurteutiits ; less than an angel, beeouse he is mortal, but greater in authority and power, fur an angel cannot consecrate the body and blood of Christ, or absolve or bind; the jurisdiction of which in a plenary manner in the Pope. Nor can nn angel grunt or ordain indulgences. Pope is crowned with glory and honour because he is most blessed, as soith the canon law. IVIio can doubt that he is holy whom the summit of such great dignity bath exalted. Hs is crown ed with honor that the faithful may kiss his feet; greater honor cannot exist than that men• tioned by the Psulmist, "Adore his footstool." Psalm XCVIII. Pope Benedict XIV in his book of synodical afrairs bee the following The Pope is OM head of all heads and the prince and moderator of the whole church which is under heaven. And Bellemair sets down the COIIIOI9II opinion that by reamon of the spiritual power of the Pope, at least tenth indirectly a certain temporal power which is supreme. In the year 730 Gregory excommunicated the Emperor Leo Isacuris because he was against •the worship of images. Hildebrand or Pope Gregory VII when he deposed Henry IV of England, absolved all his subjects from their oath of allegiance. Time would fail to show the hundreds of authorities that can be brought before the reader to demonstrate that Galilean ism or the Cimalpine church as well as Ultra montane, and all orders Transalpine, Jesuit , Franciscan, all are subjects of the Pope and owe to him both spiritual and temporal alle giance. Then if this be so, what American swing his solemn obligation to a party which resists theencroacbtnents of the.Romish church, but what is absolved from any ticket dictated by theta in an American Convention. He must be as utterly unacquainted with the his tory of that church as not to know that Gelb can Anglican Papacy, Cisalpine and Trans alpine is Catholicity. AMERICCS. A.Convlnelag Letter. Mn. EDITORS :—For the information of ell who are Americans, and as such, opposed to fae• tionary dieorganizetion, it is necessary that the party of this county should be informed fully of the action of the chartered Council of Penn. In the month of dune, 1853, the Nntionel Cost, cil of the C. States met in Philadelphia ; at this council a majority of southern men intro• doted into the American Platform, the "see lion" so called, as it put the whole party both North and South, on a proedavery platform.— To this proposition the Delegates from Penn's. protested, end called a State Council to 'fleet in the city of Reading. About three hundred members of the party assembled ut this Coun cil, end affirmed the principles of the restore. lion of the Missouri Compromise, or its equiv.. Went ; or, the plain English, no more clove States north of :UP 30' ; nod then, for the put , pose of getting the genuine views of the North and West, called a National Convention to meet at Cincinnati, the November Mllowing. To these proceedin,Ts, or the State Council, a bout Mermen members of the Reading Coon• cil protested, and withdrew, as disorganizers, and called a conneilmt which Mr. Hunsieker was made Chairman, and hence the name of Hunsieker council, and then dccbucd in favor of the twelfth section. These men then pre. claimed themselves the friends of the twelfth section, or prteslavery party, tool attempted to disorganize and dear the regular chartered ' and constitutional S• . • Couneil, and proceed. eel to make their •'. to the Nominnting Convention, and netti:tlly made twenty seven delegates who contested the right of the legal State Delegates to Jewett in the Convention ; and every southern State wag(' fur their admislion, :to the exelmion of the reg ular delegates of the State of Penusjlveuin, ou the ground of the Hunsicker delegates being In favor of the introduction of slavery into Mom. ; and, upon this very question, and it is one of the great questions in the Canvass, the ;leper called She "Amerionn" has put itself before the American party in this county, in opposition to the regular C o pp e jl of the State, anti endorses the diserganizere of dm Hunsieker Council. No man with ordinary sip gaeity but must see that by vindicating the slave-holding nomination, when the whole north and west withdrew, and that in Pennsylvania, but nine delegates out of twenty-seven remain ed in, and those nine cast the vote of the whole • State, the "American" is not only violating the obligation, Mal the majority shall role, but disobeying the trio, of the State Council, which, at Reading, Carlisle, and at Altoona., solemnly emlorsed the restoration of the Mis• souri Compromise, or its equivalent ; and also at Cincinnati, when Pennsylvania called a Na• hone! Convention, and all the free States re ! winded, then, and there, the Missouri Compro* mist was endorsed solemnly, and made rare of the cardinal principles of the Attachean plat• form, and only auxiliary to Americanism And yet in view of all this, our puirty is called upon to tithe any matt the south may dictate, and thereby break down the power of the Am• eriean party in Pennsylvania, and the whole North and West ; for, they ere perfectly safe in the matter of their "peculiar instils lien" with the "meat.° minty, who, to get the south ern rte, would permit slavery to be •carried him Paradise. • Now, in view of all this, not ono word of A• meriean principles are avowed in that. paper ; not a syllable of the doings of the tyrannical South, is permitted to get to the people through that "urgent," The truth is Own, is no Ameri• crinisto South. All things must' be subservient to Slavery. Those southern men in Congress, who dictated is the nomination at Philadelphia, voted against Banks for Speaker, but support. cd Aiken of South Caroline, a foreigner.-- Since, when Mr. Willed Resolutions were of fered, to send a Committee of their own body to ferret out the frauds and murders commit. led by the Missouri radium, not one single member of Congests professing to be an Amer. iean, south of Masan and Dixon's line, voted for them, while every American north, voted fur them. This shows plainly that unless Slavery is first and National and Americanism is sec. Enid and Sectional, the South will have no com munion with you. But a paper that crfs oat no more slave states in ono breath, and in the next upholds the No braska and Kaunas aggressions, and vindicates those men •vhs aro emphatically pru•slavery, is an 4,111181(a., and unsafe to follow. When the Americans shall have made their nomination for President, Mr. Editors, yuamay hear from me again. I ask for this as a favor, that you publish this, as the "American" con. rains nothing but what is calculated to deceive and Mislead the American party. AMXRICAN. April 5, 1866.

When the Know Nothing or Amer. heat, Party•sprang up, and swallowed up the old Whig Party of the county, I joined that party, under the belief that its plntfininwrin thing else than a demoditication of old Whig principles.

At ten o'clock A M tlyt anniversary oration Itefore the Philo tool Hagnothean Such:tie:4, WOO delivered by Prof. Woods, the principal of the Academy.

The npartmont woo brilliantly hmhted by several chandeliers, and the audience was large notwithstanding, the unpropitious nature of the evening. tin exercises consisted of original and se• lect, oration, dialogues, Se., interspersed with excellent tousie by a Brass Band in attendance front Lewistown.
