Cause of the Recent Storm.

The Herald says, learned men skilled
in the MYSTERIES of currents, tides and
gulf streams of the great deep, tell US
that from the Antarctic ocean mighty
volume of ice water comes pouring along
up the western flank of South America
that this cold stream, flowing through the
body of the ocean off the coast of Chill,
Peru and Ecuador, gives rise under the
burning sun of.those latitudes, to tremen-
dous fogs, which, floating off in vast mas
ses of clouds to the SUBMITS of the Andes,
are there discharged in rain, and hence
the Amazon and the other mighty rivers
which sweep the breadth of the continent
to the Atlantic ocean. upon this theory
we may account for the recent four days
of wind, snow, hail, rain and slush,-
There has been grand southwark move
ment amongthe ice-bergs from Bafin's
Bay, and coming down in contact with
the warm Gulf stream from the West In
dies, the same effect has followed, modi-
fed by colder atmosphere, as that per-
petual phenomenon of the west coast of
South America.

MAGNITUDE OF RUssIA.-Russla is the

Caspian for bathing place. the Black
Sea wash-hand basin, and North Pacific
Ocean as fish pond" He "encroached

Afraid Of the People.

We can we'll understand why the abo-
litionists assail the doctrine of popular SOW
ereignty-it is that tribunal which has
never yet hesitated to reject their most
abhorent doctrines-but that men who
know the temper of the American masses,
North and South, should halt before the
amplest recognition of such a principle as
that of leaving the people to manage theiI
own affairs, under the constitution OF me
country, passes our comprehension
That they. should allow themselves to be
deceived, too, in regard to this principle,
by class of men whose interest it is to
oppose and to misrepresent 1t, Is another
cause for honest surprise. 1t cannot be
too often repeated that in all parts of the
American Union popular sovereignty is ir
resistible. No man can breast the current
of peoples will. He must 60 with it, or
go down, The South, as we said few
days ago, has fully and practically assert
ed this doctrine. in nearly every one of
their State organizations. A few years
ago the judiciary was regarded as class
sacred from Innovation, and net to be touch
ed by the influence of the people. Now
the door is thrown wide open, and the
ballot-box places upon the bench the first
iurist in the civilized world. So too, in
reference to elections for all other Offices.
The feeling extends over the wholt Unrs.
The question recurs, in view of this pros
pect, why deny to all the Territories the
blessings of that principle you are so ca
ger to apply in all the States 7? Does 1t
not show either an absurd fear Of them
telligence of the masses, or, what is equal
ly unjust, disposition to distinguish be-
tween the citizens of States and the cili-
zens of Territories 3 Washington L7siOn.

papers put the number at 10, and others

We have been shown a letter received
IN this city, written by Mr.. Carvalh TO his
wife, dated at "Parawan, Little Salt Lake,
Mormon Settlement, Feb. 9lh." Mr. Car
valho states that Col. Fremont and party

For the Democrat.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Will you let Demo-
crat of "Old Potter" say word through
the columns of your paper. The candi-
dates, Legislative and Sheriff, have already
began to engage the minds of some of the
Democracy, particularly the shoulder car
rers of the County politics, of and near
Bellefonte. Old Potter has for years Of
fered the Democracy candidates. They
were always defeated-by what means /
don't say. The candidates next fall by
acknowledged right and claim of the De-
mocracy, belong to this side of the noun
tain. And all Potter township asks is, for
the Democracy this side of the mountain
to settle the candidates for themselves
without the interference of the Solomon
politicians of and near Bcllefonte.

The State Administration.

Gov. Blgler, says the Democratic Union,
stands before the public invulnerable to all
the assaults OF the opposition. He is "an
Israelite, indeed, in whom there is no
guile" The measures of his administra-
ton thus far have met the appreciation Of
the people, and he enters upon fresh
contest with clean hands and light heart.
The evidences of his increasing popular
ty are multiplying daily, and the signs
of fthe- times indicate that he will not only
receive the undivided democratic vote of
the State, but large support from the op-
position ranks. To Judge Black there
will be but nominal opposition, all par
ties concurring in the opfhioAh sia is
eminently qualified for the office of Chief
Justice. Col. Mott will carry storming
vote in the "tenth legion" and receive
the democratic vote entire in every other
section Of the state. Thus we have every
reason to be sanguine of great and glo-
rious triumph at the State election.

SlNGULAR.--The Greensburg Press tells
Of farmer, named Hise, living in Deca-
tur county, Indiana, who sold his farm
short time since for 81, 100 In gold,
which he put in carpet-sack, and hung
it upon his bed-post, and then retired to
rest. In the morning the sack and mon
ey were gone-all he had IN the world.
TO add to his misfortune, too, he had con-
tracted for another farm and was to pay
for it the next day. During the day the
carpet sack was found IN hollow poplar
stump, near his barn, with the pocket
book in it, but no money there--the thief
had secured what he wanted. On Friday
night, Mrs. Hise was awakened by her
husband getting out of bed. She arose
and watched him. He went TO the barn,
and after searching little came out with
the money in his hand, and went TO the
stump where the carpet-bag had been put.
She now awoke him. when to his to great
Joy, he found that all was not lost. He
had, doubtless, while in his sleep, become
uneasy about his money on the first night
and got up and hid it; the second night
fearing it was not secure where 1t was he
was removing it to more secret place.
Fortunately for him, his wife deteced HIM
in his somnambulIstic wanderings and
saved their all.

The Treaty.

Mr.. Buchanan has again given US cause
to rejoice, that he accepted the response
Bile position ofMinister to England. The
character of Mr.. Buchanan is such, says
the Pittsburg Union, that he can be pla-
ced in no position where he will not leave
the mark of vigorous intellect. In the
Senate of the United States he was long
an honor to his own State, and a valuable
chief in the Democratic party. In the
Cabinet his thorough acquaintance with
foreign affairs, with the law Of nations, and
with the history OF modern diplomacy,
made him an invaluable member of for
mer democratic administration.
tits probable, however, that no event of
his public career will prove more useful to
the country, or more gratifying to his
friends, than the accomplishment of a
treaty with England which realizes, if we
may rely upon the first glimpse of Its fea-
lures, the most sanguine wishes of our
lcountry, in relation to the security of her
commerce, in the convulslons about to
shake the European continent. 1t will eff
fectually put an end to all apprehensions
Of the United States becoming involved in
| the coming struggle, and insure safety to
American seamen and respect tothe Amer
| ican flag.
The New York Herald, by no means
| friendly to President Plerce's administra-
ton, thus alludes to the treaty:
We learn that either The Hermann,
from Southampton, or the America from
Llverpool-the next steamers due-will
bring the draft of a convention concluded
between Mr.. Buchanan and Lord Aber-
deem, on behalf of their respective govern
ments, by which England admits, in the
approaching European war, the doctrine
that the flag covers both ship and cargo,
and that free ships make free goods; also
renouncing the right of search for the i'm
pressment of seamen so far as American
vessels are concerned, and conceding the
restrictions as to the law of blockade.
'' In return, the United States is pledged
to strict neutrality and non-lnterference in
the coming contest between the Western
Powers and Russia.
"Thls is most important convention,
and has been negotiated by Mr., Buchan-
an without instruction from Washington
1t is important as it affects our rights and
commerce, and places US in the position
that we should have occupied years ago.
1t secures our neutrality without any trea-
ty stipulations, as it removes the cause Of
war, and at once enables us to become the
great Carrier on the seas of the world"
