Gov. WALLER having thrown out the fraud-
ulent returns from Johnson County. tbe ST..
power has turned TO an older friend fo- "a
and comfort. Judge Cato has issued writ
commanding the Governor and Secretary to
give certificates TO the '.members elect, or
show cause why they will not or cannot do so.
With that happy discrimination which invari-
bly, attended Judge Cato's proceedings, he
dispatched the paper by an officer who was
fnnctus otfcio, the sheriff under whom he had
been deputy having been superseded aud his
successor sworn in, on the previous day. Gov.
Walker therefore politely laughed in the mes
senger's face. The law of s.honor'' has also
been invoked. Ex-Sherff Jones has chailen-
ged Secretary Stanton. These items of news
come to US through a Proslavery journal,
The 81. Louis Republican, the correspondent of
which also communicates the details of the
frauds in McGee County.

WHAT ARE PARTY NAMES

Since the palmy days of the Old Wing Par
ty there has been no permanent consolidated
opposition to Locofocoism.
The broken fragments of that once great
national party which was buried in the graves
of Clay and of Webster have been divided
Its strength as unit was gone. Its powerful
leaders had passed away, andW higs. who found
themselves without party organization We're
compelled to seek associations in politics but
little congenial to their true sentiments, and
often in direct violation of the principles they
professed.
Now there is great party in this country to
which every true Old Wing go and unite
himself. 1t is the party which holds to all the
cardinal principles OF Henry Clay. 1t is the
party that halls under the name that was first
gwen to the Wings, and which is identified
with the government itself. 1t is the party
which protests against the runous rnle of Lo-
cofocoism which proclaims everywhere the
doctrine of protection TO the free white labor
of America which calls upon the government
to give us a tariff that will protect our own
manufacturers and workingmen against the ten
cent labor of Great Britain which asserts the
rights of the white man to our territories;
which denies to the Shareholder any power un-
der the Constitution or the laws to carry his
slave beyond the jurisdiction of the State that
tolerates his favorite institution; which says
| to him, keep your negroes where they belong,
but you shall not bring them in competition
with our Industrious citizen, to degrade his Ia
Dor and destroy his .lf-respect. 1t is .he
| party which opposes the Free Trade Pros Slave
| ry dictation OF Southern Locofocoism, and will
not consent that the Union and the Constitu-
| tion shall be put in jeopardy by sectional
| Southern party who now control our Govern
mel land who are determined to'srule or ruin. -
DeSpising all fanaticism and sectiOnalsm-
whether it be Pro-Savery Free Tradeism on
| the one hand, or AbolItionism on the other-it
stands by the principles of freedom, Of pro-
| lection IL American interests, of the rights of
| the poor man everywhere, of eternal Opposi-
tion to the trcasonable conspiracy of Molly Ma
| guireiSm against our Constitutional Liberty.
and in support of the ssConstiiuiion and the
Union, one and inSeparable, now and forever
This party is at this moment stronger in its
defeat than its enemies in their success. 1t
must be thr oyerrnling power in politics. IL
is built upon rock. It's strength is in IFS G.
quail rights, in its morality, its justice, truth
and its noble Christian principles. Governed
| by these motives, the friends OF this party are
! content to stand fast and bide their time
They may call themselves Republicans Wings
| Democrats or American Republicans, they are
all striving for the great principles we all hold
dear, and there is determination now tC
work together in one party organization IL
union and in harmony that shall accomplish il
the end our future triumph.-Phii'G Sun.

EXCITEMENT IN BALTIMoRE--Att the late mu
nicipal election in Baltimore city, Maryland,
there was serious riot, caused by parcel of
foreigners of the eighth ward firing upon the
policemen and killing To-day will be
held the State election, and though the city is
quiet and orderly, yet Gov. Ligon, of that
State, has issued a proclamation declaring in
advance that Baltimore is under martial law,
and has ordered ont volunteer force of some
1000 men. A public meeting was called, and
a large number of citizens have asked the Go
vernon to withdraw his proclamation. The of
ficers OF the military had called on him and
made known their design not to obey his Or
ders; but the enrolment Of special military
| force, pursuant to his orders, was still pro-
| gresslng. Meantime, the Mayor has been pre-
| paring his arrangements. The Governor has
manifestly transccnded his authority and COM
mitted a gross and aggravated error. 1t is ev-
identity an unwarranted usurpation Of power
| for Governor, in time of peace, to assume
! jurisdiction oyer, AID set at defiance all mu.
nicipal authority.
y. B. By the last mail we learn that Gov
| Ligon has backed out, leaving the Mayor tc

No FLISCHING.-Our neighbor of the Belle
fonte Wing is laboring under wrong impress
sion if he thinks we are despairing at the re-
suit of the recent election. We are not in the
least discouraged, and we trust no other OPP
ponent of Slavery Extension and Friend of
Protection to American Industry and of Pro-
testant Nationality, will finch single inch
from his position. What's the use s.crying
over spilled milk'-that wont help matters
Somebody had to be whipped, and we only
acknowledged the corn.': 1t is true, if our
friends had turned out at the recent election,
the result would have been different to what it
is. The vote was 81 900 short in the State,
5000 OF which were Of the Opposition. 1t
is, therefore, plain that the inaetion of our
own friends caused onr defeat. So, you OBJ
serve, there is nothing specially discouraging
in the result, and we shall continue our hum
bic efforts against the Sham Democracy, and
their Molly Mcguire and Slave driving allies.

MISSEsoTA.-It is yet doubtful who is Gov
ernor of Minnesota, although the latest ac-
counts favor the Republican candidate, Ram
say having 13, ,429 votes to Sibley's II, ,735.
The Minnesota papers give accounts of gross
frauds perpetrated by the Democrats. Penn
bina county has voting population of less
than hundred, yet by setting drunken In
dians and starved-out lr shmen to voting, a
Democratic majority of sir hundred was re-
turned. In Mcleod county, 100 indians, wear
ing their blankets, voted. At Mankato, IS In
dians, s'glorying in paint and dirt, breech-
cloth, leggins and all, were marched up to the
polls, and put through according to the most
approved German style" By such means the
Democracy tried to carry the election in Min
nesota, and it is not yet certain but that they
have succeeded:

Sd. ROW, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR
CLEARFIELD, PA, NOV. 4, 1857.

Who Is MOLLY MAGUIRE ?>-She is secret
organization, composed of Foreign Roman
Catholics, and is au important element in the
Democratic party. The order is believed to
have originated in Boston. Inside, it is sup
posed they are known as the Blue Ribbon men,
and associated together under the name Of u
MON Benevolent Association. Brownson, the
renowned Jesuit and editor of the Roman "a
tholic Rerie,c, jHstifies this politico-religious
organization in recent article, in which he
saws the Catholics have s.heretofore taken
their politics from one or another of the par
tered the enemies of their religion to impose
their doctrines upon them, but it is time for
them to teach the country itself those moral
and political doctrines which flow from the
teachings of their otcn church." Here We get
an insight into the objects and aims Of the
Molly Mcguire order, and the force that gives
it motion. Stripped of all disguise, its pur-
pose is to acquire Political Power, and TO sc.
cure offices and Influence in the government
1t is by such Jesuitical means the Roman
church is endeavoring TO obtain controlling
foothold in our country. And this viper
the venom of whose bite would subvert and
endanger our free, Protestant institutions,
is lovingly embraced by the Democracy. II
future, any one of that party who wishes to
be elected TO State or Federal office, will
have to give Molly hug, if he desires TO Sc
cure the assistance of her minions.

THE RELIEF BILL, passed at the extra session
OF the Legislature, it is thought is not answer
ing the purpose for which it was designed.
The banks are slow about accepting its prOvi
sions, as by it they will have to redeem the
notes they put in circulation six months be-
fore they can compel their debtors to pay
sumo specie payments, being in April, whilst
the collection of debts is postponed until Oc-
tober. The bank legislation, which viii! be
asked of our Legislature at the approaching
session, will be looked forward to with an uu-
usual degree of interest, as upon its action
will depend in great measure the continu-
ance or settling of the present embarrassing
arrangement of our currency.

A dispatch from Washington city under date

A dispatch from Washington city under date
Of Get. 80, says Previous to the election in
Kansas, Gov. Walker received specific instruc-
tioIs from the administration relative to his
duty on that subject, and which precluded him
from purging the poll as he recently did in
rejecting the return of Oxford precinct. Act
ing without the authority from Washington,
and clearly contrary to instructions, his con-
duct is emphatcally condemned. There is
reason for belief that both Gov. Walker and
Secretary Stanton will be removed, unless
they shall choose to resign.

KANSAS AFFAIRS.

Last week We gave an account of the exten-
sive election frauds in the Oxford precinct, in
Johnson county, Kansas. These frauds were |
SO palpable that Gov. Walker, after visiting |
the precinct in person, ordered the returns |
from there to be thrown out altogether. On
his return from Oxford, he halted at Lawrence,
and taking out of his portfolio large roll of
paper. said to the crowd that he would show
them curiosity, If they promised not to de-
stroy it, He then unrolled the returns OF the
precinct of Oxford, which contained sixteen
hundred and one names, all written in the
same handwriting, and all of which, except
40, were copied from civilians Cincinnati
Directory in the same order in which they
appear upon the pages of the book.
As fast, however, as one fraud is disposed
of, another makes its appearance. Every mail
| brings us some new development. The Pro-
slavery men seem determined to have ma
| jority by some means in the Legislature. A
correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune thus
tells how additions are to be made to their
numbers in counties heretofore set down as
decidedly Free State =
yesterday returns reached Lecompton from
McGee County, very thinly populated DIS
| trict in the Southern part of Kansas, and lying
! on the Missouri border. 1t is one of the fif-
teen counties that were formed into one dis
| trict. 1t contains probably one hundred vo-
tiers, mostly pro- slavery. Yet from the three
precincts, f,reIre hundred and t,rO votes are re-
turned, all pro-siayery. This counterbalances
the vote of all the other counties on Represen-
tatives, and elects the Rutfian candidates. 1t
remains to be seen whether Stanton will throw
them out. The same objections urged against
| the Oxford vote can be urged against the Nc
/. Gee returns.
.sMarshall County has elected pro slavery
Representative. Marysville, in this county, is
the place where, on the memorable 30th OF
March, 1855, fifteen men cast six hundred
votes by marching around the house all day
and voting each time. The same game has
been Te-en3cted.
ssThese two. with Leavenworth and Atchi-
son, give fifteen Representatives and fouT
councilmen to- the Ruffians. 1t is rumored
that nearly all the precincts in Linn and Lyk-
inS counties, which elect two Representatives
are to be thrown out on account of informality
, in the proceedings. Should this be done II
, will elect two more Ruffians, and make seven
| teen members for them in the lower House.
