Senator Wilson's Trip to Kansas.
Senator Wilson of Massachusetts, has re
turned home from a visit to &irises, and is full
of hope for the success of the Free State cause
and says that the impreesions of the pro-sla
very party there coincide with his own. Their
only reliance now is on securing the control of
Kansas as a Free State, and of electing two
administration Senators to the next Congress.
Samuel 1. Jones, the great shot-at Sheriff of
Douglas county, whbse alleged recovery from
the effects of a free State bullet in his spinal
marrow forms an epoch in the annals of medi
eihe, told the General that Kansas was lost
through the folly of the pro-Slavery party. Sen
ator Wilson nays that Gov. Walker, though in
sympathy with the pro-Slavery party, has no 62C.
pectation of making Kansas a Slave State, and
that there is every reason to believe that the
pro-Slavery constitution to be made by the con
vention will be submitted to the people, when
it will be voted down. According to him, the
free State men are largely in the majority, but
it would not do to vote under Secretary Stan
ton's apportionment, as not half the voters in
the territory have been registered, and they
would be sure to be beaten. He thinks, how
ever, that there is some prospect that next fall
they may waive their present objections so far
as to vote for the next Legislature.

keep our readers advised of the disclosures
that may be brought to light.
The Dred Scott Case.
The historical argument upon which Judge
Taney rests his i nfamous decision for the out
lawry of colored freemen, is founded upon
certain old statutes passed by several of the
colonies against the intermarriage of whites
with negroes, and others containing certain
specific disabilities. In this very deejsion Judge
Taney says that Indians may become citizens
of the United States, apd yet the very Colonial
statutes he relies upon to outlaw a freemen
of African descent contain the same disabilities
respecting the Indians. The same is true in
regard to Catholics. The members of that
communion were debarred from the exer
cise of their religion in every Colony save
Pennsylvania, and to this day the Constitu
tion of New Hampshire provides that no
Roman Catholic shall be Governor of that
State. Now then, as Judge Taney is a Cath
olic himself, wo should like to linow whether
Catholics can be citizens of the United States,
for the Colonial statutes are fully as strong
against them as they are against the negro.—
Judge Curtis, in his dissenting opinion, says
that in five of the thirteen States, at the time
of the adoption of the Constitution, free men
of color wets voters.

day, June 9th, for the purpose of placing in no
mination two candidates for the Supreme Bench
of this State. After a stormy sessief, William
Strong, Esq., of Berke county, and James
Thompson, of Erie county, were finally nomi
nated. The committee on resolutions reported
a long string, and it is our intention to notice
some of them, briefly. Amongst others was
one approving of the course of the National Ad
ministration thus far, and applauding the action
Of the President during the election riots in the
city of Washington. This is o wide-sweeping
and extensive one. It is nothing more nor less
than an endorse' of,cold-blooded, inhuman and
cowardly murder, perpetrated upon innocent
and unofl'ending citizens—as who has the her
dihood to deny, that the firing of the Irish-Ca
tholic Brigade, called out by Buchanan, upon
the people in the market-house in Washington,
Iwas without provocation ; being worse, far
worse than Pierce's endorsal of the killing and
scalping of free State men in Kansas. It is an
awful thought, that men in our very midst, cal
-1 ling themselves Christians, can openly and in
defiance of justice and religion, applaud the
merciless butchery of their fellow-man for no
other crime under the sun than attending the
election polls I But we pass on from this sick
ening spectacle, to notice another.
The fifth resolution approves of the decision
of the Supreme Court of the United States, in
the Dred Scott case! We were prepared for an
endorsal by this immaculate body, of the Ad
ministration of Buchanan and its concernitafts
—slavery, morruonism, polygamy, filibustering
and almost anything and everything that justice,
humanity and religion condemns, yet we are
free to confess that we hardly believed such re
solutions would pass unanimously, especially
when we considered that there were delegates
present who profess a belief in Christianity and
the Christian religien. We are glad, exceed.
ingly rejoiced that the Democratic Party of this
Commonwealth has placed itself in an unmis
takable position before the people on this great
issue. Will the honest Democrats of Pennsyl
yenta, who have hitherto been blindfolded, en
dorse this ? Can they ? Judge Taney arrays
himself against the Almighty God, and declares
that the "colored man has no rights that the
white man is bound to respect I" He has no
right to "life, liberty or the pursuit of happi
ness;" Taney declares in substance that God
has given the negro a kind of "half soul," and
therefore he is only intended for earthly use.—
All this the Democratic State Convention of
Pennsylvania endorses. Honest Democrat of
Huntingdon County, will you ?
The seventh resolution condemns the passage
by the Legislature of the bill for the sale of the
Main Line of the Public Works. In order to
show how thoroughly the Convention was im
pregnated with bread and butter patriotism, and
how completely it endorses the corruptions and
frauds, which have been so long practised upon
the tax-burthened people of our State by means
of the titter
a resolution declaring that the resolution disap
proving of the sale of the Main Line, on the
terms of the law, shall not be construed into an
expression of the Convention against the pol'.
cy of the sale. It is needless to add that this
resolution was postponed indefinitely. All the
other resolutions were then unanimously adopt
ed.
Here, then, we have the true issues of the
present contest clearly and distinctly marked
out. No man need err in hie decision. Which
will you choose—Wilmot and the Right or
Packer and the Wrong. Don't be deceived but
look calmly at the issues. The dernocraticplat
form is now made up of these planks: Slavery,
Polygamy, Mormonism, No Rights for Color.

Line, endorsals of cold•blooded murders, and
the enslavement of Kansas.
The American Republican doctrine, as up•
held by David Wilmot, is Freedom, first, last
and forever, the disposal of our non-paying
public works, and "equal and exact justice to
all."
Removing the Widows.
The present Postmaster General has no sym•
party, it seems, for the widows of deceased
Postmasters, whom he found in office, when he
assumed the duties of the Department over
which he now presides. Out they must go, no
matter how faithful and capable, to make room
for some hungry applicant in the shape of a
man, who has a vote to cast on election day.
A short time since, Mrs. Saupp, Postmaster
at Bedford, Pa., was removed, and John A.
Mowry appointed to fill the vacancy. The bus
band of Mrs. S., who deceased a few years ago,
did the President good service politically, when
the friends of Mr. Dallas, in Western Peonotl•
vania, were about to take the wind out of his
sails. But these acts of kindness were forgot.
ten—the widow's "term of office had expired,"
and a change was necessary. The Bedford
Gazette, a rampant Democratic paper, says:
"The office was well conducted, but rotation in
office being the motto of the Democratic party,
she had to be removed." This business of re
moving a woman, with three or four small chit
dren, from a petty post-office, is certainly not
very creditable to the bachelor administration
of Mr. Buchanan.
Defining Hie Position.
We notice in the lastissue of the Holliday's.
burg Register, a letter from Hon. John M. Gib•
bonny, Into Representative from Blair county,
in relation to his vote on the sale of the Main
Lino of the Public Works. It is an able docu.
mont, and had we space should publish it. Mr.
G. represented his county with marked ability,
in the late Legislature, and it would have af
forded us much pleasure to have helped to send
him back again. The people of "little Blair"
should consult their interests and re-elect Mr.
Gibboney, which we have no doubt they will do.
A DAI,GEROIIII PLAYTHING.—Thero have

The "Main Line.”—"Packer and
Repeal." . .
We stated last week, that thane patriotic,
self-sacrificing and disinterested gentlemen, our
Canal Commissioners, had made application to
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, for "an'
injunction to restrain the Governor from selling
the Main Line of Public Works." Thursday
last was the day appointed for hearing the 'ap
plication. Suckalew, Chairman of the Losofo.
co State Central Committee, was hired by the
Commissioners to make the application, and
will receive a pretty penny—the tax-payers ha
wing to "face the music"—for his services in at
tempting to thwart the will of the people, and
render "null and v3id" the action of their Re.
presentatives. Since then, the Locofoco State
Convention has again assembled, and passed
resolutions, condemning the sale, and declaring
it a fundamental principle of the Democracy of
Pennsylvania to oppose a sale of the Main
Line, and inserting this resolution as a plank
in the platform. Thus, the Locofoco party,
openly and unanimously, by its delegates in
Convention assembled, endorses the system of
fraud and corruption which has so long beer
practiced upon the Commonwealth, and which
has burdened ua with a debt of millions of del.
tars!
The Democratic Union, of Harrisburg, an•
nounces by authority, that the watchword of the
Democracy in the present canvass, and at all
times is to be "Packer and Repeal." Ia noti•
ciag the movement, we agree in the remarks of
the Village Record, that it may catch a few
votes, not heretofore allied with the "democra•
cy" along the line, where local interests are
held paramount to the general welfare I but it
ought to, and we earnestly hope, will, receive
the severe reprobation of the public at large.
We need not assign the reasons which are
urged in favor of the Repeal. They may be
easily imagined. They are such as have been
urged against a sale heretofore, and which have
been so successfully used to involve the State
in the building of canals and railroads—argu•
meets which served at one time to satisfy
the tax-payers with the hope of extravagant
gains; but which experience has proved to be I
utterly illusory. With the history of the past
before our eyes—with the debt and taxation—
with the corruptioq fostered by the spoils, ho
must be stolid indeed who permits himself to
be longer deceived by them.
The purpose of the opponents of a sale—the
offiee•holdere, State Agents, Contractors, and
mere politicians—to make this a party ques
tion, being distinctly avowed, the coming elec
tion assumes a magnitude and itnportauce
which must arouse the slumbering energies of
the people.
The first question is whether the citizens of
Huntingdon county, or any portion of the broad
Commonwealth, are willing to lend their aid to
any party for the purpose of defeating a sale.
This is not and should not be a party question.
It is essentially a Tax question—a question of
money—of Taxation. Shall the Main tine be
"
Now is the golden time for its decision—and
no mere party purpose—no sinister end should
be permitted to divert the public mind from its
object.
Shall the people be deceived by the cry,
which is now raised, that the bill for the sale is
liable to objections ? That the price is too low
—or the terms not sufficiently stringent? Is a
sale to be deferred until a bill is prepared
which shall receive the favor and support of the
Canal Board and the numerous officeholders
who fatten at the public crib?
If this is the ground to be taken, then the
people may look to the future in vain for a se
paration from the Public Works. The men
who fatten upon them will never voluntarily re•
linquish them. If they are ever sold they must
be sold in the face of a relentless opposition.
The friends of a sale can never expect unman'.
ity. That the Bill may not be without excep•
lion, may be true. Such is the case with eve
ry important measure which goes through the
Legislature. More than a hundreed heads are
to be consulted and conciliated, and the most
perfect bill which human wisdom can devise,
must be moulded and rounded to meet the ob.
jettison and wishes of each. Hence the idea
of a perfect Bill—one which shall challenge
the favor of those opposed to a sale, under any
and all circumstances, can never be hoped for
or expected.
It is sufficient for the people to know, that
the present bill is as perfect as the sincere and
honest friends of a sale, wore able to make it.
It must be acquiesced in or a sale indefinitely
postponed. If it Waal' be defeated, we warn
the voters and taxpayers of Pennsylvania,
that their children will bitterly rue the decision
of the d.y. Should the Main Line be sold, it
will be an incalculable blessing in purifying
our political atmosphere, and in reducing the
Public debt. Should it be defeated now, a sale
may bo procrastinated until new lines of rail-
road from the East to the West4hall render a
sale impracticable, and so reduce the revenues
upon this line, that direct taxes must be levied
upon the people to defray the expenditure. A
large portion of the lino is already in this con.
dition; and no man can doubt that in the hands
of the State, the whole will become so.
To sell while we may—this is the policy of
the State. New lines of competition are going
on, and others will be origninated. Every con
necting link meet diminish the value of the
Main Line. It will never in the world be worth
more than it is at this moment; but its market
value must deteriorate. No one can doubt
this.

favor of a sale. It may be possible to form

in the last Legislature; a law for a sale was

perfect as any to be hoped lor. Shall it be ra

--WILMOT AND A SALE.
Presbyterian General Assembly N. S.
This body adjourned on Wednesday evening
to meet at Chicago on the 20th- day of May,
1858. Perhaps three fourths of the time of
the Assembly was occupied with discussions
on the slavery question. The ground on
both sides was thoroughly reviewed; and the
subject was finally disposed of by the adoption
of a report which places the New School Pres
byterian Church in a decidedly antislavery po
sition. This report was prepared by Profes
sor Allen, as a subtitute for that of the regular
committee. It sets out with the declaration
that "The Presbyterian Church in these Uni
ted States has, from the beginning maintained
"an attitude of decided opposition, to the in
stitution of slavery."
In proof of this, the action of every Gener
al Assembly since 1787 is cited. In 1818 the
Assembly adopted unanimously a report by Dr.
Green of Pennsylvania, Dr. Baxter of Virgin
ia, and Mr. Burgess of Ohio, declaring "the
"voluntary enslaving of a portion of human
"race by another, a gross violation of the most
"precious and sacred right of human nature,
"utterly inconsistent with the law of God,"
&c.
These testimonials, continues the report,
were universally acquiesced in by the Presby-
terian Church up to the time of the division in
1838, and subsequently by the New School
body even up to the year 1856. The report
concludes with strong expression of regret "that
"we now discover that a portion of the church
"at the South has so far departed from the es
atablished doctrine of the church in relation to
"slavery, as to maintain it is an ordinance of
"God;' and that the system of Slavery which
"exists in these United States is scriptural and
"right. Against this new doctrine we feel
"constrained to hear our solemn testiipsfar.;',..
auallted by extraordinary vote of, 167 to 26.
This action was followed by a protest from the
Southern members, closing in the follow
ing language :
"We protest that such 'action is, under pres
ent condition, the virtual concluding of the
South, whatever be the motives of those who
vote the deed,
We protest that such indirect excision in un•
righteous, oppressive, uncalled for—the exer
cise of usurped power—destructive of the uni
trot' our branch of the church—hurtful to the
North and South—and adding to the peril of
the union of these States."
The assembly replied to the protest through
a committee, and thus the matter rests for the
present.

Monthly Report of a Poetmaster.

ago by President Buchanan, as a monthly re•
port from a post office in the West :
CRAWFORD CouNTYMQ., April 20, 1857.
Mr. Buchanan—Dear Sir:—Mr. is the
Postmaster at this place, and ho is gone out
West, and has been gone for three orfour weeks,
and he has no deputy here, but I have been
opening the mails and attending to it since he
has been gone, as he left the key with me, and
the Postmaster told me that.l must make a re•
port at the end of every month, and did not tell
me who I was to write to, but I suppose it is to
you we should make our report, as we are all
citizens of the Government of which, you are
now President. If you are not the right one
to receive tho report, please drop me a tew
lines, letting me know who I am to report to,
and I will write again.
REPORT AT THE END OF APRII.—The wea•
ther is cold (or the season—provisions scarce
and very high—but notwithstanding all that,
we have regular mails once a week, good
health, and the people of this country are uni
versally pleased with your Administration;
this is all I know that would interest you ; it
there is anything omitted in my last report,
please let me know, My best respects to you
and Mrs. Buchanan.
ABewitohed Mississippi Girl.
We find in the Grenada Republican the fol.
lowing singular superstitious narrative :
"We are credibly informed that there is now
in this county, a girl ten years old, who is very
singularly affected. It appears that. she labors
under the impression that she is bewitched.
Her case is certainly a remarkable one. She
wears a piece of gold around her neck, and if
the gold is not watched, the string will twist to
suffocation. She thinks if the gold was remov
ed she would die instantly ; on one occasion it
was removed while she was asleep, and imme
diately there were 'signs of strangulation. Ano
ther remarkable feature connected with her
case is this: cut off a piece of her hair and throw
it into the fire, and she will show evident signs
of pain or uneasiness by screaming. Her hair
has been burnt half a mile distant, and at the
very instant of burning, she manifested the
same sign of pain. Another strange feature
in this case is, if the picture-of the individual
whom she believes to he the cause of her suffer
ings, is drawn upon paper, and shot at with
lead, it makes no impression upon her, but
present a gun loaded with silver, and she is
thrown into spasms—fire, and she is calm

TIM RIDGWAY FARM COMPANY has mode ar
rangements by which all who desire to settle or
purchase a home can do so.
The Farms consist of the best limestone soil
of the most superior quality for farming, in a ra
pidly improving place, into which on extensive
emigration is now pouring, The property is lo
cated in Elk County, Pennsylvania, in the midst
of a thriving population of some 10,000 popula
tion. The climate is perfectly healthy, and the
plague of the west fever is unknown. It also
has en abundance of the best quality of Coal
and Iron. The prim to buy it is from $3 to
$2O per acre, payable by instalments, to be loca
ted ut the time of purchasing, or a share of 25

under, paid in advance, discount of 5 per cent.
will be allowed, and for over $lOO a discount of
10 per cent.
in considering the advantages of emigrating
to this locality the following are presented
Fla.—The soil is a rich limestone, capable
of raising the heaviest crops, owing to which the
settlem't has attained its present great prosper
ity.
SECOND—It is the centre of the great North
West Coal Basin, and is destined soon to be
come one of the greatest business places in the
State. It will supply the great Lake market,
(according to population and travel in the Un
ion.) It has live workable veins of the best Bi
tuminous Coal, amounting in the aggregate to
over 22 Wet, which makes 22,000 tons of coal
under each acre. This will make the land of
inestimable value.
The eminent state geologist, Dr. Chas. T.
Jackson, of Boston, has made a geological sur
vey of the land and analyzed the soil, the iron
ore and the limestone. This report together
with mops will be furnished to inquirers.
FOurrn—Three railroads are laid out thro'
this property. The Sunbury and Erie Railroad
gives us a market for our coal to the lakes—it
runs from Erie to Philadelphia. A large part
of this road has been finished, and is now in
running order. A heavy force is nom working
from Erie toward our land in the 'western direc
tion, the means for the completion of which has
been raised—it will soon be finished. The Al
legheny Valley Railroad connects us with New
York, Boston and Pittsburg. The Vcnango
Road connects us with the West.
There are already good Turnpike Roads run
ning through this property, various other roads
have been opened to accommodate the emigra
tion and settlement which has already taken
place.
There is no opportunity equal to it now offer
ed to the loan who wants to provide himself a
home in en easy way, and make n settlement
where he can live in prosperity nod independence
in a climate rancacwr lIGALTII I'.
No case of the fever ever having been known
to occur in this settlement. It is not like going
to the backwoods of the West, among perhaps
intolerant people, whom there is no society, no
ehurches '
or schools, where the price of laud is
high, and where the emigrant, after being used
to the healthiest climate in the world, has to en
dure sickness and pain, and perhaps ruins his
health and that of his family. But hero is a
thriving settlement having three towns, contain
ing churches, schools, hotels, stores, sawmills,
grist-mills, and everything desired. There is a
lash market at hand. The lumber trade last
year amounted t 3 over two hundred millions
feet of lumber. In a short time, owing to the
Coal, it will become still mere valuable as a
number of iron works and manufactories will
coon be started ; they are ut present starting
them extensively at Warren. Even for those
who do not wish to go there, the payments are
such that they can easily buy farms to save their
families from want in gm future, or to gain a
competence by the rise %Melt will take place in
the value of their lands. By an outlay scarcely
missed, a substantial provision can be made.
Persons should make early application, apply
or write to E. Jeffries, Secretary, No. 135 Wal
nut Street, below Fifth, Philadelphia. Letters
carefully answered giving full information.
Shares or tracts of land can be bought or se
cured by letter enclosing the first instalment of
five dollars, when the subscriber will be fur-
nisll,l with books, maps, &c. Warrantee deeds
given. Persons can also purchase from our
Agents.
Route from Philadelphia to Tyrone on the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad, and thence by
stage to the land. This is a delightful season to
visit St. Mary's—the best hotel accommodation
is afforded. Enquire for E. C. SHULTZ, Nag.,
