ROMAN CATHOLIC HosTILITy TO OUR Schools.
The Freeman's Journal, the organ of Arch
bishop Hughes, insists that the decrease in
the population of some parts of the State,
principally in the rural counties, is in conse-
quence of our Common School System. Says
the Journal-ssWe once more signalize the
State Free School Law as it is called, as
the pregnant beginning of unconstitutional,
undemocratic, unrepublican legislation II
would be both democratic and republican is
the law only conferred upon Archbishop
Hughes the right to institute Catholic schools
at the public expense. There is where the

UNPLEASANT TRUTHs.-The Easton Argus,
published at Gov. REEDER' IS former home, tells
some unpleasant truths respecting the Presi-
dent, which place that distinguished individu-
al in predicament not much to be envied.-
The .7rgus says, Immediately after the first ell
ection held in Kansas, one after another of the
Missouri invaders called on the President and
filed their complaints against the Governor,
charging him with neglect of his official duties,
illegal speculations in lands, &c. We state
upon authority that cannot be disputed, that
President Pierce at that time told a friend, 81
am satisfied that Governor Reeder possesses
firmness, honesty and capacity, and man
who has these three qualities, don't often get
wrong.' We happen to know, too, that our
Chief Magistrate gave Governor Reeder re-
peated personal assurances that &c he ap-
proved of his course, and would have acted
precisely as he did in the same position

DEVELOPING ITsELP.-The investigation into
the causes of Gov. REEpER's removal, and the
appointment of Gov. DAWSON is brining to
light rich state of affairs. The Buffalo Dem
ocracy, says that Dawson's absence ON Lake
Superior will be appreciated when we say that
he is one of that knot of SPECTATORS who own
Superior city. His partners are Senator Bright
of Indiana, Mr.. Fornoy, Sid Webster, Private
Secretary to President Pierce, and others
among whom undoubtedly is Pierce himself.
But the interest in the concern which this vir-
tuous citizen, lately so indignat at Gov. Reed
er's land speculations has, is of course in the
hands of somebody who will nicely CLOAK it.''

RALRoAB NEErtSo--In an other column
sili be found The proceedings OF a Railroad
Meeting, held yesterday morning in the Court
House- We sincerely hope that this attempt
70 ensure the success of our long projected en-
terprise will not like ats predecessors prove
abortive If those who are abundantly able to
take stock, and who are directly Interested IN
the success Of the road, would manifest the
proper spirit, the wlieie amount OF stock could
be obtained and the road made
1t is certainly strange that We have men
among us possessed of large fortunes-owning
hundreds of acres of valuable timber lands,-
and vast fields of the finest quality of bituini-
nous coal, which only awaits an introduction
into market to yield an immense profit, who
will stand back, and by hesitating TO subscribe,
or by subscribing niggardly, paltry sum,
throw cold water on the enterprise It always
puzzles us to think what the Creator ever made
such men for. They are a miserable burden
to the community, that hangs like milestone
about the neck of Progress.
Since these men, who can complacently
look over broad acres, the title deeds to which
are secure in their brooches pocket, are so
uery poor, that they are unable to subscribe
Eberally TO an enterprise which will not only
benefit themselves but the entire country, let
the hard listed yeomanry of Clearfield, who
have made them what they are, come up to
the work and make them still richer. We
have talked until we are tired to those who
consider themselves the wealthy men of our
community, and all without effect. We ap-
peal now to the sons of toil-those who are
only able to take single share of stock, to
come to the meeting to be held the week OF
| the adjourned court, and make the road. They
can do it, and thus shame the miserly note
shavers of Clearfeld, who think more of six.
pence feeced from honest poverty, than one
of our hardy lumbermen, who is possessed
only of a sclean shirt and dollar does of al
their broad acres, judgements, and bank stocks
| Come then, citizens of Clearfeld, attend the
meeting, make the road, develope the resour
ces of your county, lesson your taxes, and pile
| higher, for these miserable money worshipers
their golden shrine.

THE AFTsMANes JOURNAL.

TUE WEATnER.-We think The following
remarks of the albany Euening journal, are
not Inappropriate to this locality:
Last year we had a prOtracted drought. The
earth was parched and baked, vegetation was
only farmers, but merchants, preachers and
newspapers all over the Union, were complains,
ing and lamenting over the unaccountable and
terrible weather by which were afflicted,
and the crops ruined.
This year, it is just the reverse Rain falls
in floods. Grain sprouts in the the head, and
Hay rots in the field, from excess of moisture.
And here We are again, all grumbling and
grieving over the unaccountable and terrible
weather, by which our hopes are blasted.
Certainly something about the matter is
wrong. But whether it is in the weather
which it has pleased wise Providence to
send, or in the men who neglect to make pro-
vision against the weather's changes, is a
point at least worthy of consideration.
In Egypt and parts of India not drop of
rain falls during the whole summer. Never
theless, they contrive to raise wheat, barley
and millet, in, abundance. We understand
this is done, not so much by grumblng at the
drought, as by using cisterns, wells and
streams to irrigate the land.
In England, it is rare to have as clear a har-
vest season as even this. Not unfrequently
there is not a day of uninterrupted sunshine
for month. Yet they manage to get in crops
very much like ours. We have no doubtthey
put up reasonable amount of complaint, but
they also thatch their shocks of grain over
| with straw, that the rain will run off, while
the interior is drying. ,.
| 1t is true that the Egyptians are only half
| civilized pagans, and that the English are lit
| tie better than foreigners; while we are native
born Republicans and Christians. Neverthe-
less, we are not prepared to pronounce that
| they are altogether wrong in this matter, and
that we are right in assuming the Weather to
be the only one to blame.

SICK OF Ir.-Mr. Houston, the only free-soil
member in the Missouri-Kansas Legislature,
has got sick of bad company and resigned
He says that several members of the so-called
Legislature are not and never were residents in
the Territory, but are still living in Missouri,
and adds that these and other facts of atroci-
Gus illegality sseaused me, mortified and dis
gusted at the assumptions ofmy countrymen,
to retire from 'sa position which 1 could no
longer retain with sscredit or honor to myself,
or justice to my ssconstituents." And thus

THE New CAPITAL OF IowA.-The supreme
Court of Iowa has decided that the law for the
removal of the capital to Fort Des Moines is
constitutional. The decision settles the mat
ter, and Fort Des Moines is the capital OF that
great and growing State. The new seat of
government is situated on the Des Moines riy-
er, about o7e hundred and fifty miles above
Keokuk, and in most delightful and fertile
region. The rirerruns distance of four han
dred miles through the State, aad is represen-
ted as one of the finest in the United States.

A TRICK OF THE ESEMY.-We understand
that an attempt is being made by one or two
individuals, calling themselves sold line
Whigs," to get up County Convention and
nominate regular Whig ticket. 1t is scarce
ly necessary to say to those who are Wings
from principle, that this is nothing but a mis-
cradle scheme of Loeofocoism to distract and
weaken their opponents. We have no objec-
tion to a peoples Contention to nominate
ticket in opposition to the Locofocos, but it
must be apparant to the veriest child in poll
tics, that distinctive Whig ticket, will be
the very measure that will secure the success
of the Locofoco candidates.
But if there is to be Whig Convention,
(and we are satisfied that the mass of the party
do not want it, let it be called by those who
have voted the Whig ticket, and not by rene
gades who, for at least two years back, have
voted with the Loo cefocos. ssActs speak loud
er than words,'' and Wings will believe the
professions of men who claim to belong to
their party when they vote to sustain its prin-
ciples and candidates. We propose that the
opponents of Locofocoism, of. all parties, hold
a County Convention and nominate Peoples
ticket. This would seem to be the proper
way to get at it, and snch ticket would un-
doubtedly be successful.

RETURN OF JOHN B. GouGH.-This gentle
man returns to Boston in the America next
week from a two years canvass of Great Bri-
tain in behalf of Total Abstinence from Intoxi-
eating Drinks. He has doubtless addressed
larger audiences and produced deeper sensa-
tion than any other advocate of Temperance
ever heared in the Old World. He proposes
to rest for season from his labors, but he
will find it difficult long to resist the solicita-
tions which will reach him from every side
for a renewal of his efforts in this, his adopted
country. -

NARROW EsCAPE.-Our friend of the Della
,care County Republican,, at Chester Pa, made
narrow escape from death short time since
He was passenger on board the steamer Nc
Donald, which came in collision with the
schooner GA. G. Pease," killing large num-
Der Of persons. Our friend ofthe Republican,
was thrown into the river, and after founder
ing about short time, caught hold of piece
of the wreck from which he was subsequently
taken by schooner. 1t was truly a narrow
escape from the very jaws of death. Apart
from all other considerations, We are glad
that he is spared because he prints the neatest
paper in the state.

EXCITEMENT IN kANsAs.-A gentleman from
Kansas, who left on the same boat with the
bearer of the memorial praying for the reno
val Of Governor Reeder, describes the state Of
affairs in and about Kansas as exciting. At
Shawnee Mission there was good deal Office
ling on account of Gov. Reeder's determine
tion to ignore the so-called legislature. The
editor of the Chicago Press, who met this gen.
tleman, says: ssOur informant had travelled
through the greater portion of Northern Kan
sas, and gives it as his opinion that before
three months are over every settlement of free
state men in the territery will have its rifle
brigade. There is fixed determination set
Ting down upon them that lighting is to be
the order Of the day, and they are preparing
to meet the enemy at every point. They are
not now excited, but coolly at work fixing
their firearms running bullets, making cart
ridges, and going through the drill exercise. -

or of Kansas, saying that it was equally unex-

invulnerable. We are glad that he has so
promptly refused the insulting offer.

HONORABLE OPPOSITION When men seek to
break down paper opposed to their system of
politics, by honorable means, we think but lit
tie Of it, but when they stoop to make slaves
Of their fellows, to destroy their rights and
trample them in the dust, in order to carry
out their design, then we think it is time they
should be exposed and denounced. When a
man who claims to be citizen of free coun-
try, uses the control which his money may give
him to oppress his fellows and take from them
their rights as freemen, he places himself in a
position to receive the denunciation of every
republican and every honest man.
: A miserable money-shavers of this vicini-
ty, who takes delight only in impoverish-
Ing his fellows and crushing them beneath his
feet, has seen proper to attempt to bring his
influence to bear upon us, in an endeavor to
break down our paper. Now, we don't care a
straw, as far as we are concerned ourself, what
he does with this object in view. We despise
and defy him. But when he so tramples on the
rights OF freemen as to threaten them with an
execution or judgment which he holds against
them, if they do not discontinue our paper then
We think It is time for us to speak out. We
want the miserable creature, who, for paltry
sixpencs, would SINCE his soul in the fires of a
place that shall be nameless, to know that we
are aware of the attempts he is making, and
that We are determined, If ever he repeats the
outrage, to expose him.
We don't care straw for prosecution for
libel. We are prepared to prove all we assert,
and just so sure as we hear Of this unmittiga-
ted william, who would rob the orphan of his
bread, repeating this gross outrage on the
rights of ar American citizen, just that sure
will we publish his name to the community,
together with all the circumstances. He may
look out for breakers.
