EEa.A mob of raftsmen, armed with rifles,
shot guns, and axes, attacked a number of
log foaters in Clearfeld county on the Both
uIt., wounding several foaters. The organ
of democracy there speaks of this infamous
violation of law and right-for the foaters
have undoubtedly as much right as the RATS
men-as if it had been a pleasure expedition
The end is not yet, and it is to be hoped some
of the leaders will be taught that there is
law aboUe mob law, of which this country has
entirely too much.

lyn, Long Island. New York, was without
doubt severe sufferer from nervous and gen
eral debility, ths least thing provoked his ir-
ritability, put him in passion, and laid him
up; this was caused by the bad state Of the
fluids, and though he tried many remedies
for his complaint he was not benefited. At
length he had recourse to HolIoway's Pills
which quickly performed their part, by re-
moving the injurious fluids from the system,
cleared his head, restored tone and vigour TO
the stomach, and after five weeks pcrsever
ance, restored him to the blessings Of health.

ES~The Harrisburg Herald, edited by
John }. Clyde, Esq, speaks as follows Of the
proposed American Convention to nominate
third candidate for Governor:
Afew straightout Americans who, for reason
best known to themselves, disapprove of the
union movement which resulted in the nomi.
nation Of David Wilmot for governor, have
issued a call for an American State Conven-
ton at Lancaster on the 25th of this month
There has been no response to the call, ex-
cept IN one or two counties, the mass of the
Americans deprecatlng the movement as one
designed to distract and divide the Opposi-
ton, and give aid and comfort to the Demo
cratic, anti-American, pro slavery party.
The Americans Of various counties wee fully
and fairly represented in the State Couren-
tion,-their delegates went there in good
faith, prepared to abide the result, whatever
1t might be,-and casting aside all personal
preferences, the Americans Of the State gene
rally cordially endorse the action of the Con
vention and will give hearty support to the
nominees. The evidence Of this may be
found in the action of the State Council, and
most Of the subordinate Councils. Many hon
est Americans were misled last year, and
made to play second fiddle" to the Demo
cratic party and their Foreign Romish allies.
They viii be careful not to make q similar
fatal mistake this year. The tone and tenn
per of the American press throughout the
State indicate that the Union movement is
comp plete and perfect in all its parts, and
that the Americans and Republicans, occupy
ing the same platform, aad rallying under
the same banner, will present a solid front 10
the Romish and Slavery Battalions. and
march onward to certain victory. The right
spirit is abroad, and all attempts to distract
and divide the Opposition will prove abor-
tive.
Mr.. Clyde was, and perhaps is now, Presi-
dent Of the American State Council We
publish his opinion to show our American
friends in this county the tendency of the
proposed movement.
