Anti-TariT Meeting.

After the recent demonstrations by q
portion of the Democracy of Pittsburg,
in favor of the present Tariff, il will no
doubt excite some surprise with our rca-
ders TO learn, that another portion of the
same party, in the same place, have still
more recently held an ANTI-Tarifr meet
ING, at which it was roundly asserted that
''the protective policy was al war with
the spirit of Democratic principles,
and inimicai TO the rights Of the laboring
classes
The meeting was held on the 22d ulh-
mo; and the PntsbUrg Age, in noticing Its
proceedings Says:-"The Democratic par

follow the Administration in It's course, be

Horrible Murder.

Just as we were putting the paper TO
press this morning, we were startled with
the news of an aggravated murder, which
was committed yesterday about one o.
clock at the house of Thomas Evans on
the Mount Braddock farm, in Dunbar tp.
II appears that Evans and his brother-in-
law named Bliss, had some misunderstan-
ding previous to the fatal aflray, and that
Bliss repaired TO the house of Evans with
a stone in his hand, in order to make an
assault upon his person. when Evans in
fiicted great MANY blows on Bliss head
with an instrument called a corn-cutter,
cutting open and fracturing his skull in a
most shocking manner. They were both
men of families. Evans has fled, but
pursuit is now being made by officers and
citizens: and it is hoped, he will be cap
tured, TO answer before the tribunal of his
country, for the awful deed he has perpc-
trated.-Uniontown Dem.

Indians had another interview with the
President Yesterday. when Halliday, the

formed him that their grievances had not

piled that he would direct the negotiation
to be re-opened, perhaps on new basis.

The Government Paper and the
Baltimore Democratic Con-
VentlOn.

The officiel paper again parades half a
column of resolutions which II says were
adopted by the Baltimore (Presidential)
Convention, and which embody the Re-
publican creed. For the "Republican, "
which has as many hues as the chameleon
and more phases than the moon, we care
nothing, but ii is POSITIVE UNTRUTH to
say that the resolutions cited by the Union
were adopted at the Baltimore Conven-
ton. 1t may appear SO upon the record,
but it is not so III fact.
The Convention met on the 9th OF
Nav. 1914, and adjourned on the Both.
The whole business of making Pre-
sident was finished on the afternoon of
the 29th, Mr.. Hubbard of New Hamp-
shire, having introduced Mr.. Folks name
on the morning of that day
On the morning of the both, (the ses-
sion being short one, Mr.. Butler of n.
York introduced series of Resolutions,
among which we find the following. now
quoted by the Union to prove that the
whole Democratic party is pledged to the
whole OF oregon:
"Resolved. THAT OR TITLE TO THE
WHOLE OF THE TERRITORY or ORE
Con IS CLEAR AND UNDERSTANDABLE; that
no portion of the same ought to be ce-
ded to England or any other power. and
that the reoccupation of Oregon and the
rcaDne a. ion of Texas, at the earliest
practicable period, are great American
measures, which this Convention recon-
mends to the cordial support of the De
mocracy of the Union"
In answer to this resolution, and the
authority claimed for it. we assert that NOT
oNE-FIFTH OF THE DELEGATES WERE PRE-
SENT WHEN 1T WAS ADOPTED, and there
fore that il was not the act of the Con-
ventiOn. but at most the act of a commit
tee. All was confusion, worse confoun-
ded," when the Committee on Resolutions
was authorized, and when the resolutions
were adopted. Great bodies Of the So
called Democratic party then, and ever
since, have practically repudiated the doc
trines of this resolution.
All this was after Mr.. Van Buren, had
been kicked out of the Convention by the
perseverance OF bold and open foes, and
the intrigue, treachery, and weakness OF
pro(essed and real friends. The world,
we believe. never gave exhibition to so
much double-dealing, falsehood, and hy-
pocrisy as was practised in this same Bal
timore Convention of 1914, from which
the Union now puts forth a new ..Rcpubli-
cancreedr' What now is to become of the
creed of '9S, which the memorable organ
has harped upon for forty-one years past

The BountifnI west.

A run westward upon the Railroads,
and along the line of the Canals, enabled
us to see, and to some extent REALIZE the
abundant and abounding Agricultural re-
sources of the West. The quantity of
FLOUR coming forward is beyond all pre-
cedent. The canal is taxed TO It's utmost
capacity, with Boats. An intelligent For
warJer, who has constantly upon the Tow
Path lor the last fifteen wears, and who
knows pretty accurately the extent of the
means for removing property, and with
whom we travelled on Monday, gave it as
his opinion that there was then at least
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND Barrels of Flour
ahoat between Buffalo and Albany. He
counted, within the distance of ten miles,
east of Utica, seyenty-five Boats, SEVEN
TY-THREE of which were loaded wholly,
or in part, with Flour. Every thing in
the shape, form or semblance of Canal
Boat, has been set in motion. An enter
prizing Miller at Rochester, foreseeing the
exigency that occurred, purchased an a.

sin, and now has dozen of them en-
ployed in the Transportation of Flour.

AccrDEST To THE STEAMER HIBERNIA.
The steamship ITibernia, which leit

struck on the point of Cape Race, New
foundland. in dense fog, on the night oil
the 5th, three days ont from Halifax. In
consequence of leaking considerably
she put into St. Johns, Newfoundland, for
repairs, where she arrived on the subse-
quent evening. A letter from Mr.. Gu
nard, at Halifax, gives fhe particulars OF
occurrence. from which we learn that the
steamer received but slight damage, and
it was expected that she would proceed on
her voyage in a couple of days.-Nation-

The Cananche indians.

These Arabs of the American wilder
ness range over our continent from Arkan-
sas to California, and from Oregon to
Mexico, plundering frontier settlements,
numbering the whites, and stealing chill
dren. They sell the white girls to neigh
boring Indian tribes, retaining the boys TO
train up as chiefs and warriors. The
present great war chief is red-haired
Scotchman, who was stolen from his pa
rents while quite young. They use the
bow and arrow; and among their twenty
five thousand warriors, they have only
twelve hundred rifles. The British Co
yernment is said to have had an interview
with some of their chiefs early IN the pre-
sent wear, near Monterey, IN Upper Caii-
fornia: md the presence OF their warriors
in Texas is always attributed to hostile
motives; they having an old grudge against
the Texans for the murder OF a number OF
their chiefs, out of revenge, at San Anto-
MIA few wears ago, while in the Texan
camp. They are faithless race, and
seldom or never make treaties. They
live principally upon parched wheat,
which they carry with them in small bags
They never eat animal food. Their VII
lages are usually built among the noun
tains. where their wives, children, and old
men are protected by natural iortlflcatlons.
A Camanche always fights 10 the last;
and seldom or never has one OF them been
taken prisoner. I'm athletic and equestri-
an feats they excel every other tribe; and
to their honor be it recorded that I 4
manche never offers an indignity to fe'
male. In burning the frontier settlements
in the United States and Mexico, they
make il principle to murder every adult
male and female, over fifteen or sixteer
wears of age; but on some occasions
when they rob the dwellings, OF the rich
they carry off the young women to OBJ
tain ransom money from the relatives OF
friends of the captured. In one instance
a few months ago, they took two daugh-
ters of rich Mexican in Durango, and
received five thousand dollars for then
safe return.

sPAnother eruption of Mount Iecla,
in Iceland, the first during 80 years, has
burst forth and threatens to rayage the IS

In the night of the lst of September a

but till several of them were burnt. The
waters of the neighboring rivers near the

killed, and il was impossible for any one
to ford them even on horseback.

gence of the slipping of mountain in the

FROM HAYTE.

Bv the Mary Clinton we have intelli-
gence from Cape Haytien to the Both ul-
tImO.
On the 26th ultimo the Dominlcans
surprised the Haytien garrison at Lexa-
Won, consisting of about three hundred
men, and after killing, according to the
official accounts, one hundred and twen-
weight men, including colonel, took
possession of the place. On receipt OF
this intelligence, the President, ordered all
the troops at Cape Haytien TO march Tor
Lexayon; but information arriving the
next dav that the Dominicans had evacu-
ated and burnt the town, the order for
marching was countermanded. Lexavon
is the principal frontier town on this side
of the island. about eighteen leagues to
the eastward of Cape Haytien, and just
within the Spanish lines. The llaytiens
took it from the Dominicans In July last.
The President Is still preparing his
grand expedition for the reduction of the
Spanish part of the island. which, it is
said, will be ready TO march III the course
of month.
The President had ordered all the min
listers and members of the Council OF
State to reside at Cape Haytien, and seve-
raj of the officials had already arrived
from Port au Prince.-Boston Wing.
