JOHN G. MILES, ESQ.
When such men as Mr. Miles come out
in favor of the great question of freedom,
we may well say our victory in the county
is certain. Mr. Miles has few equals in
Pennsylvanians a jurist. He has enlisted
heartily in the cause of Fremont and Free•
dots, and is doing good service in the coun
ty.
Circulate the Documents.
The friends of Fremont and Freedom should
keep no documents lying idle, on their hands,
but after having rend them themselves, they
should hand them to their neighbors, and whoa
they are done, circulate them still further. Do
the same with the Journal—rend it, and then
pass it around. Every document calculated to
do good should be read by as many as possible
Every man should consider himself a commit
tee to circulate documents.

One of these, entitled: "Words of Counsel to

who could utter such barefaced falsehoods, and
then cover over his wickedness, by resorting to
the base deception of subscribing himself, "A
man of business." It is a good dent more
likely, that he is a genuine seoundrtd—a fit
subject for the Penitentiary.
The Republican Nominations,
We have only time and space to give the
ticket nominated by the Republican County
Convention, without comments. Suffice it to
say it is an excellent one, and can be elected.
Next week we shall notice at length.

Caution.
All hotel- k eepers ouglit to be extremely cau
tious. If they should be convicted under the
regent license law, (a Democratic one,) the:
will not only be fined and sent to juil, but their
bond of WO, must be sued out and collected,
and the amount paid over to the Sellout Direc
tors of the proper district in which the convic
ted inn-keeper did business. The Court has no
power to remit the line; and the Governor has
no control over fines nod forfeitures other than
these which go to the see of the Commonwealth.
We think it proper to recommend to all
concerned, great caution ; and, if possible, a
strict compliance with the very letter and spirit
of thin law. It springs end snaps like a steel
trap, and it must catch time who disregard it.
The Catholic Press United for Buchanan
It is a singular fact that every Catholic press
in the Union, front the Boston - Pilot down to
the Huntingdon Globe, supports Buchanan fur
President! Is it to bo wondered at? Louisi
ana, Florida, Texas, Now Mexico and Calitiir•
flin t are all strongly pro. Catholic, or wets at
the time of their annexation by the Democra
cy 1 Every addition made by them to our
Territory has strengthened Catholicism in the
Union, and now they want to nil Cuba and
Nicaragua to build up Slavery and the "Holy
Roman Church." Protestant Democrats, did
you over think of tiles , : things?
Boiled Back Again.
Chauncey Shaffer, who was (tile of the most
prominent bolters from the Philadelphia Amer.
man Convention, nod who has been stumping
in the river counties in New York State at the
Fremont meetings. has returned to the Ameri.
can party, and to the support of Fillmore and
Donelson. Mr. Shaffer was district (Wortley is
New York city. Ho belongs to the Methodist
church, and his recent conviction that Fremont
is a Roman Catholic is the reason why he with.
draws his support from the Republicans.
We take the above from the Hol. Regißter.
Now, mark thefidet. Mr. Shaffer, whose letter
we published last week, asserts that it is a libel
on him, to say he will vote for Fillmore. He
goes for Fremont, heart sad soul, because "he
is the only wtan who can give peace to our
country and bring back the government to the
Jefferson plan. Will the Regieter make the
amenda honorable? Como Jones, don't steal
Republican thunder.
The Huntingdon American.
In the last issue of the above•named sheet,
the publishers deny, yes, actually deny that the
An, 'lean procession endeavored to break up
the Fremmit meeting here. Those honest A
mericans of the county who were present, can
now judge what kind of cattle their editors are.
They say it wasnecessary to march by Was
it necessary to do so three times? Was it ne
cessary to yell like demons and blow on borne
when they came near the Republican meeting?
Was it necessary to endeavor to organize ano
ther meeting not one hundred yards from
where Governor Ford was speaking ? Aye,
we believe it was necessary. It was necessary
to hinder the Americans from hearing the great
truth of Republicanism proclaimed by a cham
pion of Freedom. We would earnestly request
our American neighbors to leave oil their bad
habit of prevarication. To read their Bibles

Mr. Auxer, the gentlemanly Ambrotypist,
who is now in our borough, appears to ho doihg
a good business, and this we should judge is en
tirely owing to the excellence of tho likenesses
which he takes. His Ambrotyes are beautiful
indeed, and those who want a faithful picture
of themselves, would do well to give him a call,
and test his capability as an artist.

The Friends of Freedom nro earnestly

School District in the County. The co.
horts of Slavery are at work. Already
they claim to know their strength. They
aro bringing every element of opposition
to bear on the friends of Freedom and
Fremont. Union. saving efforts to force
Slavery into Kansas—wonderful efforts to
frighten Germans with defunct "Know No
-1
thingism,"—one swearing that Fremont in
a Catholic, and another that he is a Know
Nothing. One set claiming that Fremont
is a slaveholder, and another that he is
trying to have all the slaves let loose to
murder their masters. No stone is left
unturned to stop the onward roll of Free•
dom's waves, and as they tower higher and
higher, harder and harder they strive to
arrest the mighty avalanche. Take cou
rage then friends of Freedom. The alarm
of our foes should be another Incentive to
more active efforts. Let the people but
know that the contest is between Freedom
and Slavery, and all will be well.
The Late American Convention.
The Convention of Fillmoritcs or the South
American Slaveocratie Division of the Ameri.
cans of this county nominated a ticket, which
we have publish,d. It is proper here to state,
that in several of the townships, a great major.
ity of the Americans who attended the elec
tions were for Fremont, and elected Fronton
tern to attend the Convention in Huntingdon.
When the convention met, these Fremonters
were all turned out of doors, and those left pro
ceeded to form the ticket.
At Shirleysburg, the Fremont Americans
were four or live times as numerous as the
Fillmorite Americans, and elected their dele
gates by a large majority. To prevent this
exhibition of popular feeling, the Filltrorites
culled on all the Americans present, to take an
oath that they would vote for none but Fillmot ,
ites in I funtingdon. The Fremonters, of course,
refused to take any such oath, as required them
to support the Fugitive Slave bill, and when
these delegates cause •into the Convention at
Huntingdon, they were turned out of doors
with the other Fremonters. The Filltnorites
having thus purged their Convention of every
man who preferred Freedom to Slavery, and
having sutured themselves that those remain.

were ready and willing to run down and catch
fugitive slaves for nothing but the honor of be

SCREWS LOOSE—LYNCH-PIN LOST.
We were handed the following note from one
of the most prominent Democrats of our coun
ty, with the request to publish. Will Creaswell
comply with the request? Will be?
"Is the Democratic candidate for the Login

We will go $25 on That.
The editors of the Huntingdon American
still persist in saying that the Fremontmecting
here adjourned with three cheers for Fillmore!
If they urn men of honor, they will take up this
proposition:—We will bet $25 that the Fre
mont meeting done no such thing, and the
editors hare told a wilful and deliberate lie.—
We know it is folly to speak of this matter to
people who know the American editors, but we
make this offer to pore the character of these
Dare they take as up? We shall see.
Curiosity for the Huntingdon Co. Fair.
Among the curiosities to be exhibitedat our
next agricultural Fair, is a mesquite's bladder,
containing the souls of Lewis, the little Lager
Beer man of the Globe, Miserable Green, the
mon toot wrote a book, and who was run out of
Huntingdon for amalgamating with niggors,
and the swe:l•head editor of the Hol. Standard.
Political Papers in Illinois.
The Chicago Tribune gives a list of all the
newspapers published in Illinois, with their
political preferences. From it we learn that
of the dailies, fifteen are for Fremont and sev
en for Buchanan; and of the weeklies sixty
six are for Fremont, and fortyseven for Buch
anan, only one in the whole State being for
Fillmore. If the power of the press be as
great as is generally supposed, there is very
little doubt that Fremont will sweep the S late.
The Union Ticket.
The Washington Union don't like the • idea
of a Union Electoral Ticket in Pennsylvania,

such a pro position, so that Buchanan can car

Syuseuse, Aug. 27, 1856.
The South American State Council met
again at 9 o'clock this morning. A largo
amount of business relative to the order was
dispatched. Reports of Committees, &c., were
received. Rochester was selected as the place
fur holding the State nominating Convention.
The Council has nearly completed its labors
with entire harmony, and will soon adjourn.
Mr. Luther Caldwell of Rockland County of.
fered a series of resolutions denouncing the
attempts to gag free speech at Washington,

deploring the Kansas outrages, and the failure
of Congress to effectually interpose ; denounc
ing the Kansas Nebraska bill, the repeal ache
Missouri Compromise, etc. Mr.Satntuons, the
President, ruled the resolutions out of order.
Mr. Caldwell appealed from the decision. The
Crencil voted to sustain the Chair, thus rejec
ting the resolution. Thereupon a small num
ber of Free Soil Delegates withdrew front the
Council. Resolutions ratifying the nomination
of Fillmore and Dimelson were then adopted
unanimously, and after appointing a State

The Council adjourned.
The South Americans and Locofocos in this
county and State, hate freedom in Kansas and.
freedom of speech in Congress as sincerely as
do their brethren in New York. The vote of
the South American ut Syracuse, as set forth
above, is an honest and true exhibit of the feel•
togs of the great body of the Filmorites in this
State. Voters of Huntingdon County, you
must soon determine whether you will vote for
these worshipers of the slave power, or for the
friends and supporters of Fremont and liberty.
With whom will you go, and whose companions
will you be ? How can you hesitate.
EDUCITIONAL
From the minutes of the proceedings of a
meeting of the patrons of Mr, Hall's Select
School, held in the school room August 27,
1856, we extract the following preamble and
resolutions:
Wetness, Our teacher has, during the last
six years, constantly subjected himself to con•
siderable pecuniary los9,by limiting his school,
fur the benefit of our children, to a less number
of pupils than he always could have had , and
whereas, he now proposes,Ar the same reason,
to stake additional sacrifices if properly s,
sailed by ; and whereas we believe that it
will be true economy—a saving of time to our
children and money to ourselves—toaccept his
proposition. Therefore,
Resolved, That hereafter this school shall be
limited to Arty paying scholars, exclusive of
the Teachers' Class, and that the terms of tut.
tins shall be as follows, viz : Orthography and
Reading CiaSSeil, $12,00 a scholar; Freshman
and Sophomme classes, $15,00 a scholar ; and
Junior and Senior classes, $lB,OO a scholar,
ono third duo at the beginning of each session
and payable at the end of it. Terms for the
Teachers' class to remain as heretofore, $3,00
a month, $12,00 a session, or $30,00 a year,
payable in advance.
. . . .
flesoleed, That the number of scholars above
named, shall he so fixed and determinate
that no addition can be made thereto, during
the school year, without the unanimous consent
of the present subscribers, and that such con
sent must be presented to tho Teacher in wri
ting before ho shall be at liberty to receive any
additional patronage.
Resolved ' That the rules and regulations of
this school, as revised and published, August
24th, 1854, together with the alterations decla;
red in the foregoing resolutions, are hereby
adopted for the government of the school the
ensuing year.
Resolved, That we will sustain our Teacher
in the administration of these rules, and in the
faithful discharge of his responsible duties, and
that we will encourage all hts efforts to promote
the interests of his pupils and to secure the co
operation of his patrons.
Readved, That if any subscribes not present
at this meeting shall disapprove of these ar
rangements, their names may be withdrawn
from the subscription list, and others instituted
who are willing to avail themselves of the prie.
Resolved. That these proceedings be signed
by the parties interested and preserved as part
of the records of the school.
