Riot in Now York:--Democracy
Rampant.
A. most disgraceful riot occurred on Tuesday
t in New York City, growing out of the re.
Ilion of the Locofoco Mayor Wood, and his
,rder Ruffian followers, against the authority
• the State government. It seems that the
feet Commissioner of the city, Joseph S. Tay.
•, died suddenly. The Governor appointed
s successor, Mr. D. D. Conover, but the May
. , by means of his numerous body of police,
•evented him from taking possession of the of
ca. To effect this, he got the furniture of the
Sc.' seized under a feigned issue, and the She-
T, who is of his party, seized and held the of-
_ :e. Mr. Conover called in the aid of the Me
°When Police, and these, on Tuesday, at
mpted unsuccessfully , to instal him. Then a
arrant was issued by Judge Hoffman for the
rest of Mayor Wood, and the Metropolitan
'—olice attempted to serve it, but they were at.
acked and forcibly beaten off by the Mayor's
.'olice. Captain Dilke was reported fatally'
ounded, and the military was ordered out.
Subsequently Mayor Wood surrendered him
self to the Coroner, and gave bail in $5OOO to
answer the charge against him ; and the Sher
.ff himself surrendered to the Coroner. In the
riot several members of the Metropolitan Po.
ice were desperately wounded.
Would it not be policy on the part of the De
mocracy of Pennsylvania, that the Chairman of
their State Committee issue a call for the im
mediate assembling of a Convention, to endorse
the action of the Locofoco Mayor of New York

consistent, after their endorsal of Buchanates

IL Democratic Split All Around.
We have often heard of "a rope with three
ends," "a woman that stuttered," and other
wonders artificial and natural, but a real, no
mistakable and apparently unhealable "split"
among the Democracy, is a thing we have nev
er heard of and never could believe to exist,
unless we could "see it with our eyes, and hear
it with our ears." We are satisfied now, how
ever, that such id the lamentable condition of
the Democracy, of this county at least. We
have a wide breach in the Democratic ranks,
daily becoming worse. In the matter of the
sale of the Main Line of Public Works, we may
safely say the Democratic Party of Huntingdon
County are evenly divided. One wing, under
the general supervision of Wilson, Representa
tive (in embryo) Petrekin, Postmaster Colon,
Contractor and lesser lights, bitterly op
poses the sale and the consequent downward
tendency of bread, butter, roast beef and easy
times generally, whilst the other wing, led on
by "Auld Scotia's son," the "gallyant" Major
Campbell, John Anderson my Jo, John High.
landman Scott, and their clans, is as atrenn•
misty exerting itself in favor of a sale. In an
engagement of this kind, it will require no ve•
ry great exertion on the part of American Re.
publicans, to win the field. Shoulder to shoul
der, on, on brave hearts, and victory will perch
triumphant on our banners. Let us have but
one object in view—LIBERTY ; let but one
feeling exist—HARMONY ; our watchword
and battle-cry WILMOT. Gird on the armor.
The skies are bright, the prospects cheering
and with harmony in our ranks, a triumphant
victory is certain.

Canal Commissioner Mott against ;
a Sale of the Main Line.
The Canal Commisioners have taken a bold
stand, urged on by the whole regiment of sub
ordinates, against a sale of the Main Line. T.
President of the Board, in his efforts to make
out a case before the Supreme Court and be
fore the People, has got himself in rather an
awkward position for an honrablo and honest
It appears that Mr. Mott is a Stockholder of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and he I
applies to the Supreme Court to enjoin the said
Company not to bid for said line because it will
cause great detriment and loss to him as a
Stockholder, by reason of the fact that "the
Stale Canals between Columbia and Pittsburg
have not for many years realised sufficient in
come to yay expenses. This was admitting the
whole argument for a sale, and created the
greatest consternation among the office-holders
and expectants along the whole line.
As a Canal Commiasioner it suited the pun
pose of Mr. Mott to defeat a sale, by any means
fair or foul. Hence in the Report intended for
the people a sale is opposed upon the ground
that the works are profitable; and in another
breath ho tells the Supreme Court the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, if the purchaser,
will depreciate his stock, because "the Canals
have tot for many years realized sufficient in.
come to pay expenses!'
Did ever any man so completely eat himself
up, and show his own dishonety?
Of course Mr. Mott has been obliged to pub
lish an explanatory card, but this does not
mend the matter. All he can can say is that
the clerk omitted to insert the "Allegheny Por
tage Rail, oad." Giving to Mr. Mott the ad
vantage of his explanation, we have his express
declaration that the Line from Columbia to
Pittsburg, "including the Portage road, has not
realized sufficient income to pay expenses.'
What more is required ?
Dreads in Ohio.--Ileavy Defalcation.
A short time ago we published a telegraphic
notice of a very heavy defalcation in the office
of the Ohio State Treasury, the amount over
running $900,000. The cause ot this, is thus
explained by the North American is a
defalcation in the State Treasury reaching three
quarters of a million of dollars, cotumitted by
John G. Breslin, the late Democratic incum
bent of the office ot Treasurer. And W. H.
Gibson, his Republican successor, hue studious
ly concealed it as long as possible, so that the
Governor has experienced the great.* difficul
ty in getting to a knowledge of the true condi
lion of affairs. Gibson it turns out is a broth
er-in-law of Breslin, and while the conceal
ment was managed successfully, Breslin profi
ted by tl.e time to migrate to Minnessota, whith
er his friend Medary has been sent as Govern
or. Gibson, it seems, has lately been out west
on a visit to Breslin, and during his absence
the astounding fraud was revealed. Now Gib•
son was not unknown to be a relative of Bres
lin's when he was nominated for the office of
State Treasurer, or he would have been beaten
fur Breslin's accounts were long susnected_not
, marton by a bare majority; and it requires no
very vivid imagination to guess where the
.means came from to secure that nomination.
To make the matter still more suspicious, a leg
islative committee of investigation into the
treasurer's accounts, composed of a majority
of republicans, showed a groat deal of reek.
less mismanagement, or failed to expose the
greet defalcation.
It thus appears that the people of Ohio have
been juggled with by an unprincipled band of
political conspirators, who, to ensure the suc
cess of their designs, belong to both the Re.
publican and Democratic parties. They foist
their instruments upon both tickets annually
in order to be sure of their game. In such 1 .
condition of things it is no wonder that air
taxes are excessive, and the burthens of the
people so intolerable as to drive thousands to
emigration. These leeches fastened themselves
upon the treasury first under the Democratic
administration, when the Whig opposition
seemed in a terrible and hopeless minority,
and the confused state of parties ever since
has very much favored their covert plans.—
Governor Chase has undertaken the detection
and exposure of these frauds, and hence the
Republican majorities have been corruptly
underminded by secret management.
The IViain Line—Why it should be
II old—Who are Opposed to a sale.
There are two aspects in which the Sale of
the Main Line and of the Public Works of the
State generally,rare to be viewed.
lot. As a measure of Economy and relief
from Taxation. The loss sustained by the
State in the management of the Main Line, has
been frequently shown, and may be easily de
monstrated. That since the completion of the
line, it has, like a sponge, been constantly ab
sorbing millions, and that the revenues there.
from have beet. insufficient to meet expendi•
tures, must be known to all. We shall, how
ever, easily adduce the figures hereafter to es.
tablish it.
2d. As a measure of public morale—by puri
fying the government, and taking a source of
patronage which all experience proves to have
a demoralizing effect, and bringing it back to
its original simplicity and purity. The bane of
Governments has ever been patronage. The
corruption of Courts and the demoralization of
the People have gone hand in hand. They con
stitute the darkest page in history—and espe
cially in the history of Republica. Let us take
warning I Corrupt rulers are the cures of all
Governments ; and patronage—the hope of re•
ward and the fear of its loss—is the efficient
means by which it is extended and perpetuated,
No people who are wise will arm high official
position with greater power than that, which is
indispensably necessary to administer its func
tions with efficiency. This is a fundamental
principle, and every deparlute from it will cer
tainly be visited by retributive punishment.
It was the conviction of the truth of these
positions that induced the last Legislature to
frame a Law for the Sale of the Main Line.
And hero we may remark that the efforts of that
body would have been in vain without the hear
ty co operation of the Governor of the State.
Governor Pollock gave his counsel and aid
THE HUNTINGDON JOURNAL.
toward devising some measure to effect a sale.
It was brought before the Legislature and the
People in his message ; and with no motive
of personal advantage or ambition—with a
view solely to promote the welfare of his State.
When about to retire from office with no ends
to serve, lie gave his sanction to the Bill.
Even more important than the favorable sea•
' timents of the Governor was the well•kuown
opinion of the great mass of the people in favor
of disposing of the Public Works—expressed
in various ways, and once by a direct vote at
f the Ballot• Box.
The recommendation of the Board of neve
nue Commissioners who met at Harrisburg du.
ring the past winter, had justly great weight in
securing the passage of a Bill for the sale of
the Main Line. That Board composed of ma
ny of the best men in the State, met to adjust
Taxation with on equal hand to and among
the several counties of the Commonwealth, and
a large majority belonged to the Democratic
party. Before adjourning the Board issued an
Address upon the resources, revenues and cx•
penditures of the State, in which they recom
mend in the most emphatic language an imme
diate sale of the Main Line, and a reduction of
the State Tax.
The reasons which recommend a Sale of the
Main Line are apparent. Are they cogent and
sufficient ?
That is the all important question to be de
cided by the sovereign people of Pennsylvania
after a fair and candid examination of the facts
as developed by the history of the past, and by
a comparison of the income with the expendi.
t urea.
As we have already stated, a sale has been
urgently advised by the Executive of the Com
monwealth—by the late Board of Revenue
Commissioners, embracing men of all political
parties—and by both branches of the State Le
gislature. Such high authority is entitled to
the candid consideration of the People without
distinction of party. No one can doubt the ho.
nesty, the patriotism, and the competent judge
mess of those who advise a sale, nor the disin
terestedness of the great body of people who
favor it.
Whence cornea the opposition to the Sale of
the Main Line?
Who are the persons that we find arrayed
against a sale? Aro they the disinterested tax
payers? Are they private citizens—men who
toil at the plough and in the shop—impartial
men, who have no party or private interest to
subserve? Are they patriots whose motives
are entirely above suspicion—men who rely on
their own judgment and after careful investi•
gation, eschew the mere interests of party,
The opponents of a sale may be classified us
follows :
Ist. Those who have always lived in the
confident and cauatertuble expectation that the
day would speedily arrive, when the Public
Works, a source of wealth to the State would
render taxation unnecessary. These troue,t
people are entitled to respect; they are just as
firmly convinced today thut lien year will ie
ohm their expectations as they were ten years
victlons. Hope will continue unshaken should
they be disappointed for ten years to come I
2d. The office-holders. With honorable ex- I ,
ceptions, these men constitute a clam who
make war to the knife on a bale. It deprives ,
them of lucrative situations which fill their i
pockets and which they hold as the reward of
years of toil in behalf of party. Such was the
demoralizing influence of the extensive patron
age of the Executive of this State, that when
the Constitution same to be remodelled in 1838,
the Governor was stripped of the power of ap
pointing the Judges and the county officers—
a power which he had exercised from the foun
dation of the Government. The choice even of
' the Judiciary was left to the people, that the
springs of justice might be separated from the
dangers of executive corruption. Let the ex•
ample not be lost sight of.

Governmental patronage.
' 4th. The Canal Board—men who naturally
feel that in their hands the public interests are
safe, and that if a sale were effected they would
be left without a vocation.

hopes of advancement upon the success of par
ty, and who stimulate the zeal of their follow.
ere by the hope of reward and the spoils of of.
flee; men who ignore the higher convictions of
duty and patriotiem,
Such are the influences to be met. At the
prospect of a sale, the offtce•holders, from the
Canal Commissioner down to the humblest
key driver and lock tender fen the works—are
up in arms. They are fighting with despera
tion. Such are the forces arrayed in opposi•
tion to a sale of the Main Line ; That there
are honest men among them is not to be doub
ted; but such men have not fully examined the
subject, or may unconsciously be blinded by
their confidence in men who are less honest
thou themselves. But the Canal Board, and
the formidable array of office holders who are
trembling for their places, cannot he relied on
for an honest and impartial opinion, and so
long as their advice is to control the votes of
the people, a sale of the public works can never
be expected.
The advocates of Governmental patronage
as a means of centralizing power,—sesame
that virtue exists exclusively in the political
partizans who fill the hundreds of offices, and
in the hands of a Corporation the interests of
the "dear people" would be utterly lost sight of.
Such on assumption in the face of the abut.
dant experience proving the superior manage
' ment of private companies, can be effectually
addressed only to men who are interested cr
who are wilfully blind.

THE CROPS.
As the coming crops are a source of great
anxiety at the present time, we make the fol•
lowing condensation of information derived
from all quarters :
In our own State we have every prospect of
an excellent crop of Wheat. Probably the
present indications never were better. The
press at Worcester, Circleville, Delaware, Co
lumbus and elsewhere, all speak of the prom
ising aspect of the wheat crop.
The Marquette (Wis.] Express, and the
Chicago (Ills.) Times, say that in all the coun
ties adjacent to their respective localities, the
promise of an abundant yield is excellent. In
Southern Illinois the wheat fields give great
promise, never having looked better before at
the same time in the season. Some of them,
we are assured, will be ready to harro-st by the
28th of June. Throughout the whole section
of the State lying south of the line of Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad, the crop is equally
promising, and the same is true of South-eas
tern Missouri and Western Kentucky. In
note not only has a greater quantity of ground
been sown, but the season is repdrted as unu
sually propitious.
In lowa a large quantity of last year's crop
still remains unsold, there having been consid
erable difficulty in getting it to market.
The Rochester Democrat says that a gentle
man just returned from an extensive trip thee'
Upper Canada, says that nothing can exceed
the promise of the wheat crop there, and unless
some evil, now unexpected, shall befall it there
will be an unusually bountiful harvest in Cana
da the present seascn.
In Tennessee the wheat crop is in a very
flourishing condition and will be twentyfive per
cent. larger than the wheat yield of last year.
The present crop will be ready for harvesting
in about a month, and in a month more some
of it may be in the hands of the merchants.
Tho Washington Union bays that a gentle
man, just returned from a visit to Floyd and
other counties of Cherokee, Georgia, reports
that the growing crops of wheat and corn look
very promising. One•third more land is said
to have been sown in wheat, and the prospects
are good for an abundant yield.
There is one fact to be noticed in connection
with the coming crop. The amount of wheat
sown this year in all parte of the Union will
nearly double that of any previous year, and
in all quarters, with but few exceptions, the
yield promises well. Wheat has been sown
in the Southern States where no effect had pro.
viously been made to raise it as paying crop,
and should no extraordinary occurrence take
place, we may look fur a most beautiful harvest
frost all sections.

From Kansas—The Free State
Legislature and Convention.
ST. LOUIS, Juno 16.
The St. Louis Democrat learns that the Free
State Legislature met at Topeka, on the 9th
with ha quorum. And the 10th, the mem.
bers went into a secret session to discuss the
propriety of immediately organizing and put.
ting into operation the new government. On

United States Senator, in place of Col. Lane.
The Legislature almost unanimously reed.
ved to sustain the Free State Convention.
The Convention met at Topeka on the 9th
inst., Col. Lane presiding.
A resolution was adopted disowning the
Territorial government, and declaring admin.
aion into the Union, under the Topeka Consti
tution, as the only method of adjusting dititcul.
ties; also pledging to pursue the application
before Congress, believing the measure so just
and accordant with the principles of the past
legislation of the country, as eventually to be
conceded that its defy to the Legislature was
to complete the State organization.
Other resolutions, recommending the Free
State party to disregard the approaching elec
tion, and casting suspicion on any man who
consents to become a candidate to the Consti.
tational Cony ntion, were passed.
The Convention then adjourned.
TIIE RECAR.—The Vestry of the Church
of the Epiphany have for some time past been
on the lookout for an- "obedient pastor."—
Having failed in their efforts to secure a North.
ern clergyman with southern principles, they
very properly sent to the South for a man of
the right stamp. As might have been antiei•
pated, the Southern expeditions was successful.
The Vestry invited the Rev. William Otis
Prentiss of Walterboro, South Carolina, to be
their pastor, and he has accepted the call.—
The rector enters upon his duties early.in Au.
gust. We cannot say positively whether Mr.
Prentiss is a High or a Low Churchman, but
of one thing we are sure, he is perfectly sound
on the Slavery question. If he had not been
a friend to the "peculiar institution," the Yes•
try would not have called him. We shall have
no more sermons on our "Country's Troub•
les."

Our southern neighbors seem to be still in
the midst of intestinal convulsions. Santa
Anna's] party and the discontented churchmen
between them, manage to keep the country
constantly in a ferment with some revolution
ary attempt, or project, or conspiracy, though
the unvarying lisiluse of all such ought by
this time to have taught them a lesson of sub.
mission. Those perpetual out-breaks, so far
from helping their cause, or causes, (for it is
difficult lc tell whether the two factions are
combined or distinct) only brings all revoln
lions more and snore into desperate. Parties
which get up a dozen successive revolts and
fail in all, can be held in no very high estima

They have, however, served to give President

never before could boast of. He has learned
something of the stuff of which these revolts
are made, and the localities giving them birth,
and the means of reaching them, since he has
held the reins of government, and the conse-
quence is that while many are nipped in the
bud, others on breaking out into full flower
are speedily cut off by the strong arm of pow
er close at hand. Intestial war has been use
ful in Mexico, since the last fight of Santa
Anna. It has taught the republican leaders
the necessities of their sphere of operations,
and given their troops and civic officers a die
cipline which they much needed. It has uni
ted the republican or liberal party, and increas
ed their etreng4h.
Thus we hear by the last advices, that the
popular election for President, under the new
Constitution, has resulted in the choice of Co
monfort ; and that he had marched toward
Vera Cruz with sixteen thousand troops, to be
prepared for the Spanish invasion, the entrance
of Santa Anna, or a new revolution , and that
a fresh revolt in one of the southwestern States,
stimulated by the absence of this army. had
been promptly put down by General Alvarez.
If the Spanish invasion should really take
place, it would consolidate the nation under
the present government. Comonfort's prep.
ration for it is much more thorough thins could
have been expected, under the influence of the
numerous intestinal troubles, and the difficulty
of raising money. Should the war with Spain
be a protracted reality, it might induce a new
treaty with the United States to obtain means;
which latter could only be had undo• peculiar
considerations.
