ZAILTIZOLOMMIXT LAPORTE,
OF BRADFORD COUNTY.
Sie••Hon. J. R. Edie, will accept our thanks
for Public Documents.
Mr. Carter has at length arrived in town with
his pianos, melodeons, &e., and is now comfor
tably fitted up, in the brick house opposite the
“Exchange HOtel." 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

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

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 ?

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

our Revolutionary Fathers, consecrated to the
poor white man nod his children, to free white

is ton pure for slavery to breathe I This doc

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

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

can nn angel grunt or ordain indulgences.

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

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

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,

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

members of the party assembled ut this Coun

pose of getting the genuine views of the
North and West, called a National Convention

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

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

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.

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.

thing to do with its success. The mere !het

Imalthy district of country, IvinOte from temp
tlllloll9 to vice and immorrality of large and
populous places is sufficient to commend it to
t, treble notice.
Greenwood Female Seminary located at
Shado Gap also under the control of Rev. Jas•
Campbell is in n flourishing condition, and pert
haps may ontibute some of its seeress also to
the same favorable circumstances.
