Grand Flare-up in the Philadelphia Know
Nothing Council on the Question Of Slavery
| Still brilliant Prospects for the Future.

Grand Flare-up in the Philadelphia Know
Nothing Council ON the Question Of Slavery
Still Brilliant Prospects for the Future.
The proceedings of the great National
Know othing or American Party Council, IN
PHILADELPHIA. will attract in q most especial
manner, the attention of the public. On the
slavery question as might have been naturally
expected there has been decided split
The platform reported by the committee, which
received majority late on "Wednesday night,
has been publicly repudiated by many of the
Northern States, headed by Massachusetts,, In
series of separate resolutions, passed in Il
special meeting, and addressed to the people
OF, the United States. This result has been
generally anticipated. But instead Of this
split being a disaster to the Known othings,
we are inclined to think that it viii constitute
stronger ground for them TO acquire further
victory and power over the old parties III the
separate States. 1t was idle to suppose, III
the present state of excited feeling between
the North and South on slavery, caused by the
Pierce Administration, that any common
ground of agreement could be found for the
construction of a national platform other than
opposition to that imbeciie administration
They were compelled to agree to disagree on
slavery. This will give the Known othlngS
the vantage ground in future contests, both
North and South, each in their own State
They Will now fall back, each State on its own
passions, principles, prejudices and humbngs,
either on slavery or anti-slavery, and thus
have a better chance to carry the elections OF
this year than they otherwise could have done.
In nine or twelve months they will be able to
call another National Council or Convention,
simply for the nomination of President and
Vice President, and we venture to say that on
that single plank-iHrolUing simply eighty mil
lions of spoils per anBum-there will be no split
no diyision-no flare-up.
We rather think, therefore, judging of these
matters in g practical way, that the Know
Nothings as a party will now become in each
State the most formidable Of any other in the
field. Take, for instance, the Known othings
of New York. The course Of the Northern
and Southern men relieves them from all COM
promises to Southern sentiment, and they can
go into election next fall on any platform that
will be the most popular carries the most
votes, without regard to slavery or anti-sla-
very. We verify believe that by the droll re-
suit or split of the Council in Philadelphia,
both the Seward party and the Frank Pierce
party arc completely caught in trap. The
several Known othing State organizations
over the Union will never be abandoned till
after the Presidential election of 1856, and
for that single contest they can bring already Y
nearly l SOC, 900 absolute voters into the field
besides the volunteers they may pick up by
the way.

TO PRINTERS.

The Journal Office, together with all the &C
counts, books and everything else, will be sold
or leased, on reasonable terms, to good prac-
teal printer, capable of editing and conduct
ing paper.
To married man, with a small family, no
better oportunity can be afforded, and there is
no country paper in the State with better
patronage, in proportion to the number of in
habitants in the county in which it is located.
1t was never the design of the present publish
er to continue in the business, not being him
self practical printer, and having now eStab-
lished the paper on solid foundation, he has
accomplished his purpose, and desires TO re-
tire forever from the chair editorial. Refer
enccs as to character and ability will be requi-
red. Address IL. 3. SwooPE, Clearfeld, Pa.

4 SUMMER RETREAT.

We would advise our friends, who are in
search of healthy and salubrious retreat
from the hot payements and close atmosphere
of the city, to turn their steps towards Clear
field. Here We are, away up on the summit
of the 'blue Alleghenies,' enjoying the coolest
breezes, ,and healthiest atmosphere in the world,
with the bright SusquehaEna rolling past us,
and the neighboring woods abounding in all
kinds of game, while the brooks and rivulets
are full of ssspeckled beauties, - the very sight
of which, would make disciple of old ssIsaac
Walton" dance for joy.
Here is the spot to regain your lost health,
or find relief from the cares of business
Come to Clearfeld, and we'll soon return the
bloom to your pale cheek, and send you back
to the city with ''right Sizeable cooperation, .
full oftrout and venison, and (if you want it }
the very worst kind of rot gut whiskey.

THE NEWS.

The news from the seat of war in the Crimea
is again highly exciting. The bombardment
of Sebastopol was RECOMMENDED on the 9th
instant. a
On Saturday, just before the sailing of the
Asia, a despatch was received from Lord Rag
ian, dated Friday, June Str, o'clock, P. NJ.
announcing that after u fierce bombardment
the French attacked and carried the Mamelon
and White Tower. The affair was conducted
with the greatest gallantry on both sides, and
the loss of life has been very great, but no
figures are given
This event excited great buoyancy in pub
lie feeling, and caused slight advance in
ConsolS-
The news, other than the above brilliant ac-
tion, possesses no features of striking impor-
tance.

A SOBER SECOND TEOUGHT.

Ii strikes us that some of the people of Kas-
sas or of the border countries of Missouri, are
acting very foolishly, as we'll as improperly !;
that in their zeal for slavery they are doing
much that must eventually prejudice the cause
they set themselves up to defend. Violence
and illegality cannot fail to produce reaction
against the cause which they claim to assist,
and in the end produce state Of things deep
" to be regretted.
1t would appear that Governor Reeder is un-
popular with certain portions of these people,
whether justly or unjustly we do not pretend
to say; nor is the decision in this question at
all important in this connexion. If there are
reasons why he should be removed there is a
proper mode and manner of procedure, by re-
presentations in the proper quarter. Instead
of this it seems that they have chosen. to take
the matter into their own hands-to threaten
to drive the Governor out of the Territory,
and either to elect a Governor on their own
hook or to dictate to the President who shall
be the Governor TO be appointed in Reeder's
place after that gentleman shall have been
driven out. Now, this is nothing more nor
less than plain revolution-a direct nullifica-
tion OF laws constitutionally enacted, and a
defiance of duly constituted authority This
is wrong, no matter how unpopular ReedeT
may be; and need hardly say how yitally
important il is for the South to be strictly
right in every step of the controversy now
pending.
The truth seems to be that, in the effort to
secure the control of the new Territory and
future State, both parties, pro-slayery and
anti-slayery, are using every means in their
power to carry the elections; and that, in fur
therance of this object, men have crossed the
line from the neighboring States to vote, as
well from Iowa from Missouri, and that the
Governor, as in duty bound, has endeavorcd
to prevent Illegal voting by persons not bona
fide residents of the Territory, as prescribed
by the law organizing it; hence the outcry
which has been raised against him on all hands.
But, be this as it may, the means resorted to
to get rid of him are Illegal, uniustifiable, and
must do harm. They must deprive the South
of that strong position of right and legality
which it has held against Northern fanaticism,
and should therefore be discouraged by South
ern men.

From tie North West

The Indians on the Plains have actually
commenced hostiIities on large scale, be-
ginning with the capture of an emigrant train,
killing the men and taking captive the women
and children. 1t was rumored, and is proba-
bly, true, that Fort Laramie was in the hands
of the Indians, and the Messrs. Nave and
McCord, of Andrew County, Mo-, had been
robbed at Ash Hollow, of 40 head of cattle,
16 horses, several wagons, % mules, and all
their stores and provisions. They were left
entirely destitute. The particulars of the cap
ture ofLaramie were not given.
The express merely stated that the Indians
had gathered there in great force, and had Ia
ken the Fort, and that, as he came by Ash
Hollow on his way into the States, he saw
Messrs Nave and McCord and their teamsters
and drovers, who were without horses or food,
and stated to him the fact of the robbery, and
that no lives were lost. This news has occa-
stoned great excitement in st. Joseph.
The Indians carry no stores with them, and
depend upon the chances of each day for daily
bread and can fight as long as they roam with
the buffalo, and no infantry can cut them of.

Publication of the Laws. Aaser.::s. re. a

Thcsprcscut mode Of publishing the laws in
PENNSYLVANIA issa farcca They ordinarily m;tk
their appearance about the middle OF August,
or some four months after the ad djournmeut of
the Legislature !; and meanwhile, he that vio-.
lates those unpublished statutes, about which
he has heard and knows as much as a Il ottentot
is politely informed flat S:ignorincc of the
law eXcuScth no mau,5 and compelled to pay
the penalty. We believe that they could be
published. in at least one newspaper in each
county in the State, at less cost to the Com
monwealth, than the $4,000 or upwards that
is now paid annually to the State printer
And we are very sure that this mode would
reach larger proportion of our citizens by
five hundred per cent, than are enlightened by
the present pamphlet process. The expense
could be greatly reduced too, by requiring
the Secretary to publish only the general laws,
and compelling County Commissioners, Bank
Directors, Incorporators. or such other parties
as might be interested, to publish at their
own expense all other statutes, charters n
actmeuts. In addition to this would sug-
gest u law making all statutes imperative, un-
til they shall have been published at least three
weeks in the county or district interested
therein. We also believe that Banks, Saving
Institutions, and Insurance companies should
be required to publish monthly, at furthcst
quarterly, reports under oath of the proper
officer. In the city of New York, statement
of Bank affairs is laid before the public through
ject of SANDER and libel also requires revision
and modification. Young America don't be-
lieve in the ancient barbarous code, which
teaches that q the greater the truth, the great
er the libel,'' and she'll never learn it. She
is used to plain ght-forward, out-Spoken
words, and understands truth TO be truth
der any circumstances, and only falsehood to
be libelous or slanderous.
We would further suggest to our editorial
brethren, and citizens gencraly,-for all are
interested,-the propriety of agitating these
and kindred subjects now. 1t has too fire.
quently been the case, that important meas
ures have not been fairly presented dis
cussed until after the meeting of our Legisla-
tors; and Under such circumstances they are
slow to believe that any considerable proper
tion of their constituents feel interested, and
slower still 20 act. Were we not so young at
the business, we would recommend conven-
ton, to meet at Harrisburg on Tuesday the
7th of August. to consist of all the editors and
publishers of Pennsylvania. Take them all in
all, they are the hardest worked, poorest paid,
best looking set of men we know f,-and
certainly have right to see each other once
in generaton,-as well as to discuss and
arrange the general interests of the Press
Telegraph.

AMERICAN MEETING AT EAsroN.-The American
party held meeting in the public square at
Easton, on Friday evening of last week which is
generally conceded to have been the largest ever
assembled there.
DR.. Samuel Sandt was called to the Chair and
series Of resolutions adopted which en-
dorsed the platform established in PhiladcIphia
as the political creed of the party, but at the
same time depreeating the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise breach of sacred compact be-
tween the North and South, and declaring the
twelfth section of the platform does not endorse
the Missouri outrage as has been alleged. but re-
fers the whole subject of Slavery to the proper
legislation not committing the party to any spe-
cfc action.
The Hon. E. Joy Morris was introduced and de-
livered eloquent address. lie was followed by
Mayor Conrad. The latter commenced by apollo
gizing for his inability to deliver speech, being
completely worn out by his official labors at home
He, however delivered very effective speech in
vindication of American principles. which
hailed by the most vociferous applause.
speech from HenryL Smith, of Philadelphia
closed the proceedings.
Subsequently, the speakers were sercnaded by
the Easton Band. and Jadge Conrad responded in
a short speech.

GRANGE OF TUNE.

Napoleon T. had what is commonlv termed
q State Printer, named, five remember Alright,
Beaugaud. When Napoleon was transferred
70 Elba. the printer Joined in with the new dy-
nasty under which he continued his former
business The CorSican, growing tired of ex-
lie. mustered several hundred men and sailed
for France, thinking to re-establiSh himself on
the throne which he had been compelled to
surrender. When, with his body-guard he
touched the shores of France, the news spread
with unusual rapidity and soon reached Paris.
Beaugaud, still in the employ of the Bour-
bons, announced the circumstance thus laconi-
cnliy :+ssThe Usurper has landed at Cannes!'
As Napoleon advanced towards Paris, thous-
ands upon thousands flocked to his standard,
and in few days he found himself at the
head of formidable army. Under this promi-
sing aspect of the Emperor's affairs, Beau
caud's advertisement stated g Napoleon has
reached Fontainbleau - Onward pressed the
revolutionists, augmenting every hour in num-
bers until they had arrived in the capital and
everything indicated triumph for the return
ed exile The State printer once more gave
notice of the progress of events, this time an
nouncing ''The Emperor has arrived in Pa
ris!''
The foregoing anecdote, read by us several
years ago, was recalled to mind the other day
in consequence of the change in the tone of
the n. Y. Tribune, every reader of that pa
per must have observed, after the meeting of
the National Known othing Council in Phila-
dclphia, whittier one of the editors had gone
to report proceedings. Previously the Know
Nothings had been treated by the Tribune as
a set of barbarians and scoundrels, but when
the reporter reached Philadelphia and saw the
Council composed of several hundred of the
first men in the nation, among them Govern
ors, EX-GOvernors, Judges, United States
Senators and Members of Congress, g what a
fall was there, my countrymen!!" For the
first time. the Tribune spoke in respectful
terms of the new party, and it grew more re-
spectful still as day by day it published the
proceedings of the Council. With the Trib-
une it was first Ss Hindoos,'' next it was
g Kno,r- Nothiags," and now it is, very respect
fully, g .Americans.' This change of tone is
a good omen, indicative Of the strength Of the
party, and, like the Paris printer did OF Napo-
leon, the Tribune may speak of Known 9TH
ngs in still more respectful terms hereafter as
their prospects continue frightening
