A CARD.
HUSSEY'S REAPER.


We the undersigned farmers of Montour
and adjoining counties were at the trial Of
NJ overs on the 22d Of June 1857, on the
farm of j Ohm Mowrer in Mahoning township,
Montour county. Three Machines were
brought into the field, namely: Hussey's I'M
proved Reaper und Mower manufactured by
Geddes Marsh & Co., of Lewisburg. Pa..
Manny's Patent, manufactured at Hoostck
Falls, n. Y and Ketchuu,'s manufactured at
Reading by Boas g. Spangler. The machines
were worked by the owners or agents. Az
ter seeing the operation Of the three ma
chimes, we give our preference TO the llus.
sey Reaper and Mower. for the following
reaSons."
!. We think ii is the most durable ma.
chine.
2. It costa less than the Aaunys and the
Ketchum's.
3. 1t is very simple in its construction and
not liable to get out OF order.
l. 1t is manufactured in this section Of the
country.
And wa would say to our neighbors, that
il you want good, durable and reliable Rea
per and Mower, get one Of the Hussey's I'm

EyThe following verses were handed to us
for publication, by the author, Hartman III.
Knuble, who is a candidate for Prothonotary.
They purport to be translated from the Ger
man original by the same author. In regard
to their originality there can be no question:
Hypercritical individuals may feel inclined to
ind fault with the author, in making himself
the hero Of his own epic. But be had mo-
tive-a commendable one too. He is can.
didate, and by blending business with itera-
turo, be ecouomises time as well as expense
Heretofore, friend Kneble has been down on
us, as being, in his opinion, somewhat he!ero
dox, and somewhat deficient in our taste fol
codfish-but that, he says, is past. Besides
he has discovered that the only way to lie,
the people know, that he is q candidate, is tc
have his name in our English and German pa
pers.

KANSAS A SLAVE STATE.

ssBuchanan, Breckinridge and Free Kansas
was the false ralying cry of the Locofoco par
ty in this State in the late contest. The
scheme succeeded in securing the vote of
Pennsylvania and the election of Buchanan
It's object was to deceive the honest anti-Slave-
ry voters in the Locofoco ranks, and in the
face of solemn warning from the Fremont jour
nails, the people trusted to this promise. The
day OF Judgment has arrived, even earlier than
we predicted. Mr.. Buchanan is President,
and now we are startled with the first rumb-
ling of the storm from Kansas. While Bu-
chanan is being inaugurated the bogus Legis-
lature OF Kansas passes bill, over the veto
of Gov. Geary. authorizing the election of del
egates to State Convention to form Con-
stitution in next September, and proridiag that
no one shall rote for he delegates ,cho has NOT
been IA the Territory preriOus 10 The first Of 4pra
nert. Now how does the case stand The
obnoxious laws still exist in full force prescri-
bing the qualifications of a voter. The return
of Whitfield last fall proves that the Slave
Power, by fraud and force, can carry the elec-
tion. The Missouri river is not yet open en-
igration cannot enter the Territory before the
first OF April, thus ensuring the election of
delegates favorable to Constitution with Sla-
very as its chief feature. In order to make
'Eassurance doubly sure, 1.-THE act of the Leg
islature provides that the Constitution shall not
be submitted 10 the people for their approval, but
shall be at once presented TO Congress and the
admission of Kansas demanded as 4 State. The
doctrine of s'squatter sovereignty" proclaimed
lnt of, ,Ia IN
the Cincinnati platform and Buchanan s inaug-
ural will make Locofoco House, Senate and
Pre- sident cry s'Amen:'' ssLet thy viii be
done, oh ye immaculate saints of Kansas
will be their response. ssPopular Sovereignty
will then be practically witnessed in all its
beautiful phases, and the credulous voters of
the middle States, whose eyes longed to view
the lovely vallies and plains of Kansas, will
have the choice of an eternal disappointment,
or being placed on level with seryile race,
lorded over and ruled 10y the lazy but tyranni-
cal chivalry of the South. Gov. Geary, who
secs the inevitable event, has resigned his Of
fee, determined not to witness the perpetra-
tion of so horrid and wicked a crime as doom
ing that Paradise to the curse of human Slave
ry. Where are the Locofoco politicians who,
before the late election, boasted and promised
s'that Kansas would be free State q" They
have an awful sin to answer to an outraged and
deceived people. The iniquity will recoil u
pom the heads OF its authors, and the overthrow
i'of the cohorts of fLocofocoism will as surely be
the result. There is now n hope left for Kan
sas the fiat has gone forth, and she is now
virtually chained to the black car of Slavery
and upon President Buchanan, the next Con-
gress and the Locofoco party, let the respon-
sibility and treason to promises forever rest.

AFFAIRS IN KANSAS,

CAUSE OF Gov GEARYs RESIGNATION.
ST. Louis, March 1.-THE St. Louis Demo-
crat publishes a statement relative to affairs
in Kansas, given by Gov. Geary. The cause
of the resignation of Gov. Geary is said to
have been the failure of President Pierce to
fulfill the pledges made at the time the appoint
ment was conferred to support him Gov. G.)
with the power of the army and militia, and
the means of the Treasury, if necessary; but
instead of receiving this aid, he has paid l2,-
900 out of his own pocket to meet the expen-
ses of the administration, has been refused the
aid and support of the military under the most
urgent circumstances, and thwarted by the
Judiciary of the Territory in every possible
manner. The Governor states that not less
than fifty men were under oath, fiom the day
he entered the territory until he left it, to as
sassinate him, provided his official career did
not meet their appreciation.
The Governor regrets the step he has been
obliged to take, and feels confident that had
the promised assistance been rendered him, he
could have had administered the affairs of the
territory in manner acceptable to the honest
settlers of both sides. In relation to the out
TdScS " Pio-oia'Nls AhNh. HS
saws one half has not been told. He pronoun-
ces the murder of Baffum 10y Hays, as the most
cold-blooded and atrocious affair ever witness
sed. His version of the Sberrad affair is SIM
liar to those already published. He says, how
ever, that the account pnblished in the Repub-
lican over the signature of s.Jones,'' is It's
sue cf fasehoods.
The Governor complains much of the OBJ
structIons and multilations of his official cor
respOndence. He says the mail bags were con-
stantly opened, and all Objectionable matter to
or from him, extracted. He thinks the estab-
lishment of Slavery Constitution in Kansas
inevitable.

Senator Bigler, says an exchange, was can
did enough to admit that he agreed with Mr..
Brodhead in the belief that the effect of the
tariff bill for which he voted, would be disas-
trous to the great coal and iron interests OF
Pennsylvania, and sought to justify his shame
less betrayal of those interests by the flimsy
plea that, ssas Senator ne felt it his duty to
look beyond the interests OF his own State to
those of all the States'' The industrial in
terests of his own State should first be taken
care of, before he takes the interests of other
States under his special protection at the cost
of an entire sacrifice of the former.

CLARIFIED, PA, MARCH Is, 1857.

REsIGSArIog OF Gov. GEARY.-It is now
matter of undoubted fact that Gov. Geary, of
Kansas, has threatened TO resign unless de-
cisive steps are Immediately taken TO sus-
tain him. He complains that President Pierce
did not sustain him as be had been led to be-
heye he would, asserts that at least fifty men
were under oath to assassinate him if his off,
cial career did not please them, says that not
one-haf has been told about the outrages COM
mitted by the pro-siavery men. and thinks the
adoption of slavery constitution inevitable.
Geary is Democrat: was appointed by Pierce,
and his statements cannot therefore be pro-
nounced ''Abolition lies.'' He is the third
Governor ofKansas, and when this fact, his
political views, his statements and those of his
predecessors about the condition of affairs in
the Territory, &C., are all considered together,
we think every individual will be forced to ac-
knowledge that there must be something rad
ically wrong in Kansas, and good cause of COM
plant on the part of the Free State settlers.

PoL1rIoAL RoMASIsM.-A secret conclave
was held at Rome, in December last, at which
the state of the Romish Church in Mexico and
South America was considered, the result OF
which was the issuing of document of the
Pope, in which he complains bitterly of the
doings of the new Government of Mexico, de-
clares all the Measures taken by it against the
Papal Supremacy, 10 be null and roid, denoun-
cling thePriests who obey the laws OF the coun-
tries in which they live, instead of the instruc-
tions forwarded them from Rome. Here we
have the essence of Political Romanism. The
plea of this Jesuit Policy, is, that the Church,
OF which the Pope is the head, is superior 10
alt other authority on Earth, and that every true
Catholic owes and must acknowledge supreme
allegiance to Rome-nay, that when the Pope
commands, he must resist the law of the coun-
try of which he is citizen, and at all times.
under all circumstances, obey instructions FOR

THE LATEST FRAUD.-We informed our rea-
ders months ago, that Mr.. Strickler, Demo
cratic Collector of Tolls on the State RailroS6
was a defaulter to the amount of s55, 900. He
took it to speculate with, in conjunction with
John NJ. Bickel, late Democratic State Trea-
surer. He was defaulter to the amount of
$4,000 when reappointed by the Democratic
Canal Board, and Bickel knew it. His bail
paid $4,000 of the s55, 600, and now the Dem
ocratic House of Representatives have passed
a law releasing his bail from the payment OF
S35,000-the balance. The taxpayers will see
how the Democracy are paying off the State
debit This is robber Democracy, and it will
always be so until the Public Works are sold.

HoLLowAY's OINTMENT AND PILLS, are the
finest remedies for Bad Legs.-Francis Tom
kinson, of 0ttowa, Michigan, had the misfor-
tune, six years ago, TO break his leg, which was
imperfectly set iy the doctor, the consequence
was, that it formed it self into an angry
wound, and despite of the various remedies he
tried he could not get any thing to cause it to
heal, and it was feared by all who knew him,
that he would be lame all his life. About
four months ago he commenced using Hollow
ay's Ointment and Pills, which soon caused an
improved appearance in the leg, he continued
them for nine weeks. and the leg is sound, TO
the astonishment of all who know him.

Posr OFFICE ORDERs.-It has been recently
stated that the British system of sending mon
ey orders has carried the equivalent of S50,-
000, 900 from place to place by mail, without
the loss of more than $2,G0, while our system
of ssregistering" letters is so notoriously inef-
ficien. that all well informed persons now pre-
fer not to register them, the act does not
make the department responsible, but only
serves to point out the money letters to thieves.
In England no sums greater than f10 can be
sent by Post Office orders, but in Canada as
large sums as f25 can be sent, and under both
conditions the plan is believed to have proved
itself perfectly successful. The charge for
each order is threepence or sixpcnce. and if
larger sums than the limit prescribed are to be
sent, it is only necessary to purchase two or
more orders. 1t should be introduced here.

The TARIFF.-As usual, the important bills
of the session were rushed through both Hou-
ses of Congress during the last day, when all
was uproar and confusion. Among those pas
sed is a new Tariff bill providing for a consid-
erable reduction of duties. Iron, sugar, lead
and wooden manufactures reduced to 2i
per cent. instead of 40 as now. Cotton goods
are reduced from 81 to 10 per cent. Wool
costing under 90 cents is free over that, p
per cent. Wines and liqours win pay q per
cent.,-blan<ets 10. Linen fabrics of all des-
criptiGns, 10. Dye-stufs, spices, and long
list of articles Of less Importance, which have
heretofore paid from 10 to 80 per cent, are
aaaa. to the free list. These are the main
features of the bill. 1t will fall most severely
npon the iron and woolen manufacturers.

Last Friday, whilst Sheriff Reed and one of
his sons were in one of the prisoners rooms
in our county Jail; the latter discovered in a
hole, three keys, made of wood, so perfectly
shaped that they Would open several of the
locks. Upon further examination it was also
discovered that the heads had been sawed off
of some of the lock rivets, and one or two bars
sawed through. The keys were evidently
made out OF the Jail, and it is generally be-
lieved that the horse-stealing, csunterfeiting
and thieving scoundrels who are prowling over
the country, have accomplices in the neigh
borhood to supply them with keys and other
means for effecting their escape from the pris-
ons in which they may chance to be confined.
We trust thai measures will be adopted for de-
tecting them and bringing them to justice.

THE EPIDEMIC at Washington, or, the nys-
terious sickness which attacked every body
whS put up at the National hotel, just previous
to the Inauguration, and the cause of which
has been traced to the water taken from the
cistern Of the house, into which a number of
rats, who had partaken of arsenic had plunged,
IS Of 4 more serious character than is general
j. supposed. Mr.. Lenox, Of Ohio, died last
week from its effect and we see by the New
York papers that the wife of MIR. Jay L. Ad-
ans, who stopped at the hotel on her way home
from Savannah, has also died from the sick
ness contracted there. A post moTtem exami-
nation of Mrs. Adrms revealed the fact s.that
the stomach lad been partially eaten away !;
the bowels manifested symptoms of violent in
fiamation; the lungs congested, and the
kidneys severely Affected These appearan-
ces indicate the presence and action of arsenic
in the stomach. Mr.. O. B. Matteson. member
of Congress, is suffering severely. Many 9th
er persons in New York, Newark and in Phil
adelphia, beside the President himself, are
much enfeebled by the attacks Of diarrhGa,
having their origin, as is supposed, in the poi
soned water which they drank.

oyA party hunting recently in Angelina
county, Texas, found two hundred bodies in q
cave, entirely petrified, and dressed in a style
neither European nor Indian. On the waist of
one was found buckle of gold, almost three
inches IN diameter, embedded in the body.
The features were not much sunken, the eyes
partly closed, and even traces of the eyebrows
could be seen plainly.
