10 THOSE WHO CAN UNDERSTAND IT.

We have uniformly endeavored in our edito-
rial career, TO treat our brethren of the press
with courtesy, and have never stopped to stig-
matise them as ssvile and most despicable black
guards,'' even when we we'll knew they merit
cd such epithets. Notwithstanding our at
tempts to discuss all questions fairly and hon
orably, il seems we have given offence TO a
neighboring editor, who not only uses towards
US the above most harsh and most ungentle-
manly epithet, but intimates that he intends to
use some desperate means to obtain satisfaction
We do not profess TO be sbully,'-we don't
deal in threats, and we don't boast of what we
intend TO achieve. But if the editor in ques-
tion iniagines that he can compel us by force
to hold our peace, while he continues to heap
the most vile and outrageous abuse on the
American party, and upon ALEX. CALDWELL,
our Representative at Harrisburg, we beg leave,
ssin the most gentle manner possible to inti-
mate, ''in the most delicate way in the world, .
that he has mistaken his man. We claim moth
ing but the rights of an American freeman, to
express our opinion OF public men and public
measures. In doing so, we have made no at
tack upon the private character of the Editor.
we have said nothing but what the circumstan-
ces demanded, and what We have said we are
willing to stand or fall by.
When We came to Clearfeld, long before our
paper was established, card was issued by
some of the Native Americans, of our county.
which was replied to, and in that reply, most
uncourteOus and uncalled for attack was made
upon us. From that time to the present, on
every convenient OCCASION, we have been made
the recipient of blows from the same source
FINDING now. that they are likely to be worsted
the battle, the valiant editor threatens anoth-
er mode OF warfare, in which he expects his
superior strength to give him the victory
He may find himself as much mistaken in the
latter as in the former
We have long been acquainted with this Jesuit
mode of controversy, and we anticipated moth
ing else from the beginning. But the editor
many find, that there has been a slight change
in public opinion in Clearfeld since the Conk-
lin murder, and that, however humble we may
be, there are too many who are determined to
stand up for the rights of American freemen,
to permit professed bully to disturb any citi-
zen, for the expression of his opinion, and the
avowal of his Americamism. We are able to
take care Of ourself, and we intend TO do so.

OPINION OF WASHINGTON

We frequently hear it denied that General
WASHINGTON was opposed to the employing of
foreigners to fill official stations in our Govern
ment, and that when he used the expression,
ssBEwARE OF FOREIGN INFLUENCE; he only al
luded to foreign States and powers, but had no
reference to the emigrants who came to our
land to seek home. The following extract
from letter to foreigner applying for office,
written the Goth of January, 1710, and to be
found in Sparks Washington Papers, Vol. xi.
p. 392, will set the matter at rest. There is
no mistaking the meaning OF this =
Dear Sir: It does not accord with
the policy of this government to bestow Off
ces, civil and military, upon foreigners to the
exclusion of our own citizens.
/ am, &c. G. WASHINGTON.

THE INAUGURATION AGAIN.

We have been charged with falsehood by
81 Democratic Paper,' in asserting that the
platform did not esbreak down. and ssfall away
from under Gov Pollock at the recent inau-
guration, and the Democratic Union is quoted
for authority. With all due Difference to the
editor of the Union, and his Holiness of the
'Glearfeld Catholic we beg leave to say that
we are correct, and that can refer to those
who were with US from CIearfield, and who
stood near the platform, for the truth of what
we said. The end of board, that projected
over one Of the sleepers, broke off, and neces-
sarily caused a little hustle among those on
that side of the platform. This is the whole
story, and those who doubt it, can inquire of
VIM. Mcbride, James NJ. Taylor, B. Hartshorn.
and others from Curwensville, who were there
and saw it. The editor says that during our
sswhole editorial career we have never been
known to tell the TRUTH 1t is rather singu-
lar that we haven't stumbled on it once, and
must therefore doubt his ability to recognize
it when it is told, for no one who reads his pa
per viii deny that to him, 'struth is stranger
than felton,

THE RAIL ROAD.

We hope our citizens will not neglect the
Railroad meeting next week, as much depends
on the spirit manifested in the manner of car
rying on the enterprise. They should all at
tend, and endeavor, as far as possible, to ad-
vance the success of the project. 1t is not
simply an affair of interest to our borough, but
to the whole county. Those parts most remote
from the Improvement viii feel its beneficial
effects. By increasing the value of property,
now almost worthless, for want of a market it
will lessen taxation, and thus benefit the entire
community. Let the meeting then be a large
and spirited one, worthy of Ciearfeld county,
and worthy of so great and important an en-
terprise.

Know \ othing candidate for Mayor, by a ma
iority of 260 votes, over Mr.. Kieffer the 'Fu-
SION candidate who was supported by the
cold line'' Wings and Democrats, backed by
the rummies and Catholics The combination
was a formidable one, but the invincible and
ever victorious esSAM" came out of the con-
test with flying colors The cold line'' poll
teal trcksterS, and their allies the rummies
and Jesuits, have been emphatically crushed

warmly contested, and there was great turbu-
lence and excitement at the polls all day. but
ssSAM" nobly stood his ground and proved
more than a match for all the elements that

AN EXPLANATION.

Our attention has been called to an article
in our last paper, speaking disrespectfully of
Senator CooPER-placing him on a level with
Broadhead. We sincerely regret that it ap-
peared. 1t was extracted by the publisher, du-
ring our absence, from another paper, and
would have been excluded from, our columns
if we had observed it in time. We have no rea-
son to find fault with Mr.. Cooper's Senatorial
can Resolutions are deserving Of the very
highest praise.
