TALL PisroL SHooTIse.-Col. Hay, of the British
army, recently tired his hand with the Volcanic Re-
peating Pistol Yankee invention. The pistol used
on the occasion was an S-nch barrel which dischargs,
nine balls in rapid succe ssiop. The Colonel fred the
arm "a times, making number of shots which would
do credit TO riieman. He first fred at an e-inch
diameter target at 100 yards putting nine balls inside
the ring. He then moved back to a distance of 200
yards, and fired nine balls more hitting the target
seven times He then moved back 100 yards further,
distance Of 800 yards from the mark, and placed FIVE
of the nine balls inside the ring and hitting the bulls

LESSONS FOR THE FUTURE.-A most intelh-
gent friend in st. Lawrence county, in private
letter accompanying the official returns from that
county observes:
"Our great success, in this county, is due to our
system of close and minute township and school dis
tfct organization and canvassng holding an immense
number of small meetings., by which alone the doHbJM
minds can be reached, and sp ending no money in
efforts te get up monster demonstrations parades
eff PENNSYLVANIA had been worked up but half as
well we should be rejoicing in Fremonts cleo
tion.
But perhaps il is better as it is. God knows
with men rests the responsibility of action, with Him
are the results"

We invite the attention of our readers to
the call published in to-day's paper for a
Mass Convention to be held in this Borough on
the 10Th August, Court week. We trust ev-
cry friend of American principles will join
heartily in this movement, and assist in over
throwing the power which is now administer
ing our governmental affairs so disastrously
But little effort was used in getting names
20 the call, those appended being mostly of
individuals who were incidentally seen during
the past week.
We trust that due attention will also be paid
TO the selection of delegates to the Conyen-
tion to nominate County ticket as well as to
the call for meeting to select Congressional

s:TEN-CENT JIMMY

Our brethren of the Locofoco press are busy
attempting to explain and refute the allega-
tion that James Buchanan at one time favored
the reduction of wages to low and, what is
regarded in this country as ruinous standard
of prices. In doing this, they assert that Mr..
Buchanan ssneyer said he was in favor of re-
ducing wages to ten cents day" This is a
mere bubble on words, by which they expect
to gull the public. We, however, have bet
ter opinion of the peoples intelligence, which
they thus insult for nowadays men read and
think for themselves. In endeavoring to dis
prove that Mr.. Buchanan advocated such re-
duction, they publish extracts from his speech
containing his doctrine of low wages, most of
the journals, however, studiously emitting the
paragraph in which this declaration occurs: =
REDUCE OUR NOMINAL TO THE REAL STANDARD OF
PRICES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, AND YOU COW
Err OUR COUNTRY WITH BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS.
And what is that ssreal standard ?'' Undoubt-
edly the European hard-money one, which av-
erages about 'sten cents a day." for by ref
erence to the most reliable authorities we find
that, in France, laborer gets only from to
Is cents day; in Germany, from to IA in
Holland from to 10 cents, &c. 1t was re-
duction to this standard, by an exclusive spe-
Gle circulation, that Mr.. Buchanan said would
'scover our country with blessings and bene-
fits" Laboring men in this country, we feel
certain, will differ on this point with Mr.. Bu-
chanan.

, We ask nations disapprobation of fraud
unparalleled in the history of our country let
the nation wash her hands of the disgraceful
act, and let the history of it go down to poster
ity with a nations condemnation indelibly en-
craven upon IFS forehead.
Let Congress. in the place of repeating GER
tain laws of the Territorial Legislature be-
cause ofther Inherent defects, set them all a.
side because of the inherent defects in the pow
er that made them. Let this be done, and tho
of the people may be redressed, their consti-
tutional rights restored, and peace restored TO
the country and to the territory, the Consiitu-
ton itself vindicated, the theory of non-inter-
ference saved. The great principles of popu-
lar sovereignty and self-government reestab
lished, an unmitigated fraud upon the sacred
ballot-box branded with marked disapproba-
ton, the character of our free institutions
preserved untarnished, the confidence of the
people in the perpetuity and strength Of free
government stimulated and confirmed, and the
bonds Of the Union strengthened and estab-
lshcd upon the rock of eternal Justice; but
refuse to do this, and all these propositions
are reversed.
If the bill was designed to effect these OBJ
jects it will most certainly fail of its purpose,
but on the other hand tend most directly TO
the reverse of all these desirable results and
therefore, finally, as Democrat. citizen and
friend of Kansas, one who loves the Union
and the harmony and peace of all sections Of
the country, must most earnestly protest a.
gainst its passage into law. Very truly,

CONSISTENCY.

The editor OF the Clearfeld Republican, it is
well known, has a strong ayersion-a species
of Observation-Disclosures ministers saying any
thing that relates to the politics of the coun-
try. This feeling seems, however, to be linn
tied in its application. For instance, if our
correspondent C. j. writes an article, the ed
itor Immediately pitches into him in truly
scientific manner, and enters his solemn pro-
test against this particular class of men in
general, and c. ]. in particular, saying aught
upon political questions, unless it is done in
..an ethecal and theological sense-'' On the
other hand, should one of the class. referred to
for example, Rev. Charles Wadsworth-de-
liver a sermon in which direct and express ref
erence is made to the politics of the country,
and the views therein expressed coincide with
those OF the editor of the Republican, it is all
right in The eyes of the latter, who not only
forgets his seeming aversion to preachers de-
livering sspartizan'' sermons, but actually pub
fishes an extract, designed to refute an argu.
ment of the American party, from one, and
commends it to his readers. This may seem
strange, but such, nevertheless, is the fact

SHOWING HIS TEETH

The last number of the Clearfeld Republican
contains extremely vindictive attack upon
our correspondent C.. J. The editor, if he is
capable of such feeling, seems to be ashanl-
ed of his own words before he gets through
with his TRADE, for he says he is ''sorry to use
such language in speaking of anything in the
image of God.'' And well he might be. for
such superabundance of yirulent invectives
and indecorous epithets, have not, for long
time, fallen under our notice. In order, how
ever, to leave the public judge for themselves
we give the following extracts from the article
in the Republican:
s.Rev G.. J. appears at the end of another
column of falsehoods in the last Jourmal.-
Without any exception, he is the most bare
faced falsifier we ever knew
ssNow, we defy the Rev. &C. j. not only to
make his charge good, but to show that there
is even one (not foreigner, for there are none
such at all) naturalized citizen to every thirty
native borns, appointed by the present admin
istration. If he can't do this he must consent
to be branded as liar of the first magnitude" /"
ssAfter filling 4 half column or with one
lie after another, conched in the choicest bill
lingsgate of the most loathsome pot-houSe of
the celebrated Five Points, this ignorant crea-
ture proclaims with flourish OF trumpets that
tue L
&c.
s|Why is such monstrous lie, so boldly pro-
claimed? No bar-room brawling politician,
would so degrade himself. Aud yet here is a
man claiming TO be minister of the Gospel,
making an assertion that every body does, or
ought to know, is SANDER and falSehood."
ssWho would dirty himself by engaging in a
spublic discussion with man who would offer
to sproye' sby official evidence such mon
strous falsehoodi
ssWe are sorry to use such language in speak
ing of anything in the image of God. We
never did so before, and we would not do so
towards one who made no pretensions to extra
ordinary piety, But when a minister OF the
Gospel turns traitor to his God-to truth, and
to justice, he should be told of it, and in tel
ling him, things should be called by their
rights names.
ssBut we shall occupy no more space with
him. We believe him to be as bad a man as is
to be found in the whole army of Satan,-for
no less n sinner could, while clad in the live
ry of Heaven, lie and SANDER as he does"
Such is the language the editor of the Re
publican uses against a highly respectable cit
izen, who is known to many in this county as
an estimabie man. But We will refrain from
comment upon it, as we feel certain that eve
ry reasonable and impartial reader will con-
denim such unmerited abuse and vituperation.
