Tom CorWin,s Sentiments.

The Signal displays in garng capitals these
words: g. The Ohio Columbian is authorized to say
for Mr.. Corwin, that he believes all Mat is desira.
6le and proper may be accomplished by the election
Of Mr. Fillmore"
Ii is not difficult to determine what Tom Corwin
deems desirable and proper" He is known as one
of the foremost and most hnatcal abolitionists of
the age. The total abolition Of slavery is what Cor
win would say was =" desirable and proper" When
Southern paper introduces such testimony to boil
ster up its candidate, what should Southern men
think of it? Surely the two remaining editors ofthe
Signal are about to endorse Mr. Rayners letter. and
go for fusion Of every ism to beat Democracy.

Of the three candidates presented the people of the
country for their suages, Mr. Fillmore the only nation
al candidate. VII Herald.
1t is unreasonable to expect much truth from a
K. N. paper, but one that perpetrates such glar-
ing falsehood the above must either be reckless
else suppose the people fools. Mr.. Fillmore has
but little, if any, more claim to nationality than
Fremont The platform which he stands was
adopted hy Northern K. Ms, and the Southern X.
Ms withdrew from the Convention. They then
went back and were permitted to nominate Mr. Fill
more, when the Northern X. Ms withdrew, and al
most all of them are now fghtiag under the black
flag of Fremont. Mr.. Fillmores platform is sec
tional, and his nomination is sectional. The free
States made the platform, and the slave States made
the nomination. The South ignores the platform,
and the North ignores the candidate.
James Buchanan is the only natio9al candidate
He was unanimously nominated by delegates from
every State in the Union, and the platform which
he stands adopted by delegates from every State
Democracy is the same every where. Know Moth
ingsm is thing at the North aud divers different
things at the South. FILLMORE will not get State
in the Union, and Fremont will not get more than
six. The national Democracy-the only national
party-will sweep the rest.

she Signal in Misery.

The Signal groans and lies awfully over the DEM,
ocratc eeiebration here on Wednesday last It calls
the demonstration then inside q great failure" We
are content with all such failures. It says three
hundred and fifty would be more than q full esti-
mate for the number assembled" We don't know
which one Of the two remaining editors of that sheet
penned the words; but whichever one It was either
didn't know or else wilfally told falsehood. The
same article says that the Democrats had boosted
"that there would be as many persons present as
Gov. Bragg had majority in the State'' We never
heard of any such coast, and We don't believe eth
err of the two editors of the Signal ever did. Why,
$4,000 would have been too many persons at once,
especially to be called together four FIVE days
notice. a&
Of the torchght procession the Signal says there
could not have been more than seventyfve persons,
leaving out the boys and negroes The little editor
had very little vision that night. There sew
eral hundreds of good voting Democrats in the pro-
cession, and the writer of the article knows it, he
knows any thing; but protesting to Know Nothing
he cannot be expected to tell the truth.
Such little, low, mean, hypecritical conduct as
eharacterizes the article alluded to, can excite no
other feeling but that of contempt in every honest
BOSOM.

THE COURT HOUSE.

The following is that portion of the present
ment of the Grand Jury, at the recent session
of the Court at Clearield, which relates to tho
improvement of the Court House, which we
publish at the request of several persons. The
Grand Jury say
awe have examined the Court House and
are of opinion that it should be improved to
meet the wants of the present condition and
population of the county. Built as it was over
thirty years ago, when the population and bu-
siness of the county could we'll be accommo-
dated in it, it was sufficient and indeed cred
liable edifice but the growth OF the county
has rendered larger building absolutely ne
cessary. The people of the county have q
right to demand it. 1t is building for their
accommodation, and in which they desire to
be, and have right to be during the sitting
of the courts. Now they cannot have seats
nor be made comfortable, and therefore do not
enjoy visit to the sitting of the courts. Be-
sides want of the proper space and seats for
the people produces a noise and confusion in
court that must retard the public business
The county is amply able to afford a good
building, and the present condition of her fl
nanceS will warrant its commencement next
season. We think the County Commissioners
should at once adopt plan, and commence
the work.
The Grand Jury think the rear wall should
be removed and the side walls extended back
to the Offices, and that the Court room should
be on the second story, and the Jury rooms
on the first floor. When this is done, good
iron fence should be put round the yard and
the trout and south sides paved with brick
All these improvements are necessary to make
the building what it should be what the wants
of the county require and to make it cores
pond with similar buildings in adjoining coun-
ties. Clearfield county is not behind our sis
ter counties in means, and we should not be in
enterprise and ambition.'
