NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTIoS.-The result of
that the Pierce Democracy have been sadly
routed. The opposition have carried both
branches of the Legislature. No choice for
Governor having been made by the people,
that duty devolves upon the Legislature, and
as the anti-adminIstration party has decided
majority, their candidate will be elected. This
is serious loss to the Pierce party, which
made every exertion to carry the State, know
ing that if they lost New Hampshire their case
desperate. Several prominent speakers
were sent there, and money was used in liber-
al profusion, to secure a victory. But it was
all useless-they are signally defeated.

THE seALGEnINE LAw.''-We arc indebted
to tho attentive and energetic Senator from
this district, Henry Souther, Esq, for a copy
of the Bill repeating the supplement- to the
act of May 8, 1872, known here as the ssAlge-
rine Law" which he read in place on the 18th
inst. In order that Mr. Souther may be en-
abled to work effectively in this matter, petit
tions asking for the passage of the repeating
act should be Immediately forwarded, well
signed, from the various townships Of this
county which are most directly interested in
it. The repeal of the supplement is of high
Importance to the lumbermen of the Susque-
quehanna, and it is to be hoped that they will
make the necessary exertons to secure it.. A
little activity is all that is required. Petitions
have already been forwarded from our borough,
and other steps have also been taken here
But Clearfield borough can't do all-the rest
of the county must lend their assistance.

however complicated or ingenious may be tho
statement. or however special the pfeaains q
for that purpose. The case requires some qut-
citing, kind and prudent treatment by the ha Ia
of Congress to do justice and satisfy the ma
tion.
The people of this country are peacefully
relying on Congress to provide for competeas
measures of redress which they have the ua-
doubted power to administer. The Attoruer-
General, in the case of Arkansas SAYS ssCoH-l
g gress may, at pleasure, repeal or modify
{" the laws passed by the Territorial LepisIs-
ss ture, and may at any time abrogate and re-
sc model the Legislature itself, and all the 9TH
Sc er departments of the Territorial Govera>
&c ment.''
Treating this grievance in Kansas with IN
genious excuses, with neglect or contempt, or
riding over the oppressed with an army and
dragvoning them into submission, will mako
no satisfactory termination.
Party success may at times be outwardls Sc
cured, by adroit devices: plausible pretenses,
and partisan address but the permanent pre-
seryation OF this Union can be maintained on
ly by frankness and integrity.

THE WORLD SURROUNDED BY THE STARS AND
STRIPEs.-The American tonnage of this coun-
try now figures Up 100000 tons. and Will
make up the very respectable fleet OF o,4oo'
ships of l 900 tons each. And If the tonnage
of the fleet be figured out in Yankee clippers
of 200 tons each, and placed on the equatorial
line around this globe, each SKIPPER may speak
the next in line, by raising his voice a little
above the ordinary pitch on ship board, round
the whole circumference of the globe. Var
would be a terrible calamity to this immense
fleet and England would not fare better with
her commercial marine OF {, 200, 900 tons but
little less than cur own.

GAZING IN.-The Pittsburg Union learns by
passengers that on Thursday night last por-
ton of the earth, in that part of the big tun-

for couple of hours obstructed the passage
of the train. The rubbish was removed as
speedily as large force of hands, who were
promptly set to work, could do it.

Die by the people at large, taking unIteo
stand for one of the great political parties OF
this country, and thus controlling our elections,
a spirit of jealousy was engendered that can
never be subdued. It is in their character as
a poiitico-ccclesiastical body t hat they are oP-
posed. Had they contented themselves with
the privileges extended to other citizens, and
employed no suspicious and insidious means
for gaining an ascendancy, they would have
met no opposition from any party.
Thus it will be seen, that it is not the reli-
gion of Catholics that Americans contend a.
gainst They war with Rome; for, as cotem-
porary remarks e'Rome is the enemy of a
merica, and America is the enemy of Rome.
We war against the imposition by Rome OF a
Priesthood upon US, alien to civil Laws, our
Customs, our Schools, and ever seeking indi
rectly or directly, the subversion of them all.
We war against hierarchy, Roman-made, that
robs its own people of their own property, to
concentrate it all (in church form) upon itself,
utterly subject to Rome. We war against a
hierarchy that rushes into our elections, and
turns huge masses of votes in selid bodies into
our American ballot-boxcs to create American
demagogues to obey its will. Rome has been,
and is attempting, through her powerful hie-
rarchy, to rule the civil power of the United
States. For this purpose she exports here and
imposes upon us, the Irish hierarchy, as the
most subservient tool of its power. For this
purpose, this Irish Roman hierarchy turn all
the Irish Catholic masses one way, into one
ballot, the better thus to everawe and to con-
troll American demagogues and politicians.
For this purpose, we have sChurch Property
| Bills to concentrate on the one man power OF
Rome, the now immense Roman Catholic es-
tates of this country. For this purpose our
School System has been attacked, and por-
ton of our School money demanded from us
at the ballot-box and in the State Legislatures.
| 1t is upon such Roman Catholicism that Amer
| leans war.
| To us it seems strange that the Democrat
| ic presses, which so much :shonor the minister
of the gospel for manfully expressing his
sentiments, should direct their denunciations
/ against Protestant clergymen for so doing, but
never say . word when Roman Catholic bish-
| op or priest does the same thing Who ever
heard of Democratic newspaper say aught
against Catholic church dignitary for express
sing bis opinions, either in the pulpit, or thro'
the medina of the press, on matters pertain
ing to the political condition of our country
1t would almost seem as if they were the spe-
cial guardians of the ''mother church, Ii
| they are, we congratulate them upon the hap
| py circumstance. For our part, however, we
| do not envy them their occupation, but shall
consider it our duty, so long the head Of
the affairs of our government, to hold it up in
its true colors, by exposing its insidious policy
| and anti-republican tendencies, which, if car
ried into effect, would prove subversive of our
institutions and destructive TO our liberties.

THE FRUIT CRop OF New JERsEY.-The New
ark Daily Advertiser states that the prospects,
in New Jersey, of large yield of fruit, were
never better than at the present time. The
buds are generally uninjured, and the linger-
ing cold weather will prevent them swelling
until the season is too far advanced to have
them su6er from high winds or frosts.

There is now practically demonstrated, what

did not materially help to enlighten Northern
opinion, or to recall the errant Democracy,

allegiance. Such indication from that

to the singular belief, so often verified. that
the political complexion of the Speaksrship

YANKEE SPlRIT-Col. Hiram Pearson, Of
CALIFORNIA, is now travelling in Europe Re-
cent foreign letters say that, having arrived
at Vienna, he applied to the proper author
tiles for permission to insbect the govern

LONDON DEPICTED BY HEINRICH HEISE.-
The German Heine, in his pictures of ira
vel, thus describes the city of London:
81 have seen the greatest wonder which
the world can show to the astonsshed spirit
have seen il, and am still astonished; and
still there remains fixed in memory the stone
forest of houses, and amidst them the rush.
ing stream of faces of living men with all
their notely passions, all their terrible I'M
pulses of love, of hunger, of hatred-I
mean London. Send a philosopher to Lon
don, but for your life no poet. Send phi
losopher there and stand him at the corner
Of Cheapside, where he will learn more than
from all the books of the last Leipsic far :;
and as the pillows of human life roar around
him, and the eternal spirit which moves up
on the face of the waters will breathe upon
him the most hidden scenes of social har-
mony will be suddenly revealed to him he
will hear the pulse of the world beat audi
bly,, and see it visibly-for if London is the
right hand of the world-its active, mighty
right hand-then we may regard the route
that leads from the Exchange to Downing
street as the worlds pyloric artery. But
never send poet to London. This do u
right earnestness Of all things, this colossal
uniformity, this machine like movement,
this troubled spirit in pleasure itself. this
exaggerated London smothers the imagina-
ton and rends the heart"
