tire appreciation of their constituents, to whom
alone they are responsible.

notorious VIM. B. Rankin or George W.
Bowman. can neither add to, detract from
the estimation in which this constituency hold
their Representatives.
Resolred. That the people of Cambria Coun-
ty, when they wish to be instructed in the
lessons of democracy, viii go to purer source
than the keystone Club or the Bedford Ga
zette The notorious infamy of the President
of that Club, and their intimate knowledge of
the servility of George w Bowman, would
cause them to direct their steps 10 some other
quarter.

sed unanimously. T. A Mcguire offered as
an amendment to the last two resolutions, the
following:
PocoJraJ That wbila ya mn hnsitatin pl Y IN
dorse and approve of the course pursued by

Senatorial Convention, we at the same time,
abhor, despise and condemn the infamous and
traitorous conduct of Lebo, Manear and Wag-
onseller through whose recreancy Simon Cam
eron was elected.
The amendment was supported In speeches
by Major Mcguire, DR.. Smith, and j. C. o.
Neill, and opposed by John s. Rhey, Joseph

when vote was taken and resulted against
| the amendment. The amendment was then
on motion unanimously added as an additional
resolution Mr.. Johnston then offered the
| following resolution, which was unanimously
passed.
| ResolUed, That the calumniators of Genera
Foster, and his friends, will fail, most signal
| ly in their efforts to detach us from contin
ued and unwavering support of James Bu
! chanan. We point with pride to the recore
of the past aud pledge ourselves that th'
support heretofore given to the man, shall no
be withheld from his administration
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

The Bribed Legislator.

On our outside, will be found this celebra-
ted poem, by the lamented VIM. B. Conway.
We have thought that its republication, at
this time, would be appropriate. and we affec-
tionately dedicate it to Messrs. Lebo, Manear
and Wagonseller.

A Remarkable Nation.

The Boston Journal notices some
missionary labors in region ofwhich
but little has hitherto been known
1t says:
One of the most interesting mis-
sions yet undertaken by the American
church is that to the Afighans, which
has been commenced during the past
year by the Presbyterian Board
This has long been looked upon as
remarkable nation, on account oftheir
independent, hospitable and martial
spirit, and their possession ofa coun-
try, lying between India and Persia,
filled with the grandest mountains in
the world, with the original fruits
and grains that have spread over the
earth-following the expansion Of the
human race--and with ancient ruins,
tablets, coins and legends of great
value to the religious and scientific
arch@ologist. But the chief attrac-
tiOn has lain in the suggestion of Sir
William Jones, Vansitart and others,
that they might be a portion of the
Ten Tribes of Israel. Though now
Mohammedans, they claim descent
from King Saul, ,througha son named
Berkis, who had a son named Afghan.
And those scholars have furnished
translations from their legends, de-
scribing the capture Of the ark Of the
covenant by the Philistines, the eanoin.
ting ofSaul by Samuel, the battle Of
David and Goliah, and other events
ofScripture history, which they claim
US their own. The scat of this new
mission is appointed for the present
at Rawal Pindee, q town OF fifteen
thousand inhabitants, between the In
dus and Jhelm Rivers, one hundred
and sixty miles northward Of Labor.
This is not within the borders Of AFT
ghanistan, where q residence is for
bidden by the present disturbed state
OF the country.

1t will be seen by the figures pre-
sented above, that from May 1856, to
January, 1857, including a period of
nine months, the road earned 1855 02
more than it did the preceding twelve
months and the last nine months
show an increase of $24, ,156 II over
the nine months preceding; thus ex-
hibiting a constant and regular in
crease in the business Of the road.
If such be the favorable report of
the earnings Of this road non, when
its northern terminus is yet. resting
among the Ohio river hills, what will
it be when it is once open from the
river to the lakeG When our vast
iron and coal fields shall be turning
ont upon the line of the road hundreds
of thousands oftons of their treasures
to be shipped in every direction The
subject is a ponderous one, and we
feel ourselves incompetent to grasp it
in style to do it full justice.
There is one thing very true, the road
is entirely Of too much magnitude in
developing the resources Of that por.
tion ofthe country through which it
passos 70 remain much longer in its
unfhished condition; and the only
wonder has been and is now, that bu.
Isiness men who control much of the
capital Of the country, and who arc
conversant with the fact that this
must, from the nature OF surrounding
circumstances, be one of the best pay
ing roads in Ohio, don't lay hold of it
at once and help to finish it. lfrail-
roads can at all be made profitable to
stockholders, then this must prove it.
self one Of them, if not, all idea of
building road with q view to profit,
may as well be abandoned. Running
north and south through the great
State Of Ohio, out Of the reach Of any
serious competition from any other
road, it must become a great thorough
fare of travel ; besides it will have the
advantage of freight which no other
road can command to the same extent.
Who can be so blind as not to see
these advantages! And yet in the
face of all these facts the road has
hitherto been weighed down by sort
Of fated incubus. But this must and
will fall of. Ere long the road will be
finished. Its adversely has about
reached its eliminating point, and
before the close of the present year,
we hope to be able to announce the
arrival Of the iron horse to our town.

ACurious French "convenience."

There is a female profession in Pa.
ris which is unknown in New York.
that of "8uiceu8e," or police Of vigil
lance to look after husbands while a.
way from home. The best known Of
this profession is q respectable widow
of about 40 years of age, who goes by
the name OF Madame Vidooq. She
resides in the Rue Montmartre, sec,
ond story, front; and for regulated
price, she gives in each morning re-
port of the doings and whereabouts
of any gentleman-something in the
following style:-
"Monsieur X. went ont at noon.--
He walked to the Rue Pigalle, No. =.
He made a call on Mile R,
and passed there three-quarters of an
hour. Thence he went to the Opera
House and engaged a box for the eve
ming. He went to the BourSe at ono
O'Clock, but did not remain. At half
past three he mounted his horse and
rode to the Bois de Boulogne. In
passing along the Boulevards he left
his opera ticket at No. -, and return
to dine at six. At ten he went to the
opera, where he met Mile s..
At midnight he supped with her at
the Maison dor, and at two he re-
turned home"
The price of this little bulletin (dai-
ly) is only twenty farncs! As soon as
the ladies of New York are willing to
learn the luxury ofsuch four dollars
worth, we shall have q new trial Tor
female industry.

LiquefaCtiOn of Rock.

One of the most wonderful discov.
cries of modern times is alleged to
have been made by DR.. Benjamin
Hardipge, Of New York, who sets
forth a process for turning quartz rock
into liquid, in an advertisement OF
over four columns in Tuesdays edi-
ton ofthe N. Y. Tribune. The dis
covery will prove of special impor-
tance togold miners, as it embraces
not only the liquefaction of the rock
but "the extraction of the last parti-
Gle of gold or other precious metal
which that rock may contain; and for
the holding of that hitherto solid rock
in the form of a liquor in casks and
hogsheads ready to be turned back
into rock again as it is needed, thus
affordinga a new material for builing
cheaper than brick and beautiful as
precious stones. ."-Sandusky Regis.

The DEBT OF THE STATES AND THE
GENERAL GovERNMENT.-The Treas
urer of the United States represents
the Joint Indebtedness OF the several
States as reaching S190,000,O 900, and
that of the General Government as
$50, 100000, making total of $780,
100000. The figures appear large,
but, when compared with the indebt-
edness of Great Britain, they are quite
insignificant. Indeed, our total debt,
State and National, is not eqnal to one
years interest Of the national debt Of
the United Kingdom, computing it at
our rate of interest, 6 per cent. This
exhibits great difference in the Pc
cuniary liabilities ofthe two countries.

Moral aud Example.

"Listen," said |, "listen and at
tend and you shallh have moral and ex-
ample. When the wasp now in the
window entered the room, you flew at
it with allkinds Of violence. won
der did not sting every one of you.
Now, in future, let a wasp, when it
comes, have its little bout and make
its little noise. Don't stir muscle
don't move a lip-be quiet as the
statue of Venus or Diana, or anybody
of that sort, until the wasp seems in
clined to settle, then do as | do now."
Whereupon, dipping the feather end
of pen in the cruet Of salad oil, |
approached the wasp, and in the soft
est and tenderest manner possible,
Just oiled it on the body-the black
and yellow, like green waiscoat-
when down it fell, turned on its back,
and was dead in minute. "There,
girls" said |, "see what kindness and
a little oil does. Now, here's MY
moral and example: When a hus-
band comes home in an i'll humor,
don't cry out and fly at him, but try a
little oil-in fact, treat your husband
like a wasp"

KISS or Fight.

An exchange tells astory ofacoun-
try party thus
A stalwart young rustic, who was
known as formidable operator in a
Stree fight, "had just married bloom
ing and beautiful country girl, only
16 years of age, and the twain were at
a party where a number Of young
folks ofboth sexes were enjoying them
selves in a good (D old fashioned
pawn playing style. Every girl in
the room was called out and kissed
except Mrs. B, the beautiful
bride aforesaid, and although there
was not youngster present who was
not dying to taste her lips, they were
restrained by the presence Of her her
culean husband, who stood regard
ing the party with look of sullen DIS
satisfaction. They mistook the cause OF
his anger, however, for, suddenly roll
ing up his sleeves. he stepped into the
middle ofthe room, and, in tone OF
voice that at once secured marked at
tention, said:
"Gentlemen, have been noticing
how things have been working here
! for some time-and amt half satisf.
ed. l don't want to raise a fuss,
| but"
"What's the matter, John!" inquir-
ed half dozen voices. "What do
YOU meanl Have we done anything
to hurt your feelingsl"
ayes, you have; all Of You have
hurt my feelings--and I've just this
to say about it: Here's every gal in
the room been kissed mighty nigh a
dozen times apiece, and there's my
wife, who consider as likely as any
of'em, has not had a single one to-
night; and | just tell you now, if she
don't get as many kisses the balance
oi the time as any gal in the room, the
man that sights her has got to fight
that's all. Now go ahead with
your plays!"
IfMrs. B. was sighted du-
ring the balance Of the evening, we
did not know it. AS for ourselves,
we know that John had no fault to
find with us individually for any neg
lect on our part.

KnnSas Territory.

The Kansas City Enterprise. a pa
per published on the border of Kansas
Territory, says:
Kansas Territory has, at most, a
population of 10000, and we have
now before us a list of one hundred
towns, each of which is the city of
Territory. There is not sufficient
population in Kansas Territory, ifit
were all concentrated to one business
point, to sustain town population OF
5000. Ninety mine of these are hum
bugs-and every land-shark in the
West is trying to delude the emigra-
ton into the belief that has is the ex-
ception. In some towns in the Terri
tory, ground is selling for $3.50 per
foot, when there is not corn enough
raised within a circuit of one hundred
miles to feed dupes that are buying it
at that price.

A shilling pound for mud! why
that's a pretty price. We can get it
in the streets for nothing, and get paid
for carrying it away in the bargain"
"But it amt like our Connecticut
mud, though"
"Are all your tubs filled with this
kind Of mudl"
"Why yes," said the Yankee, care,
lessly uncovering them--"they are all
chuck full Of mud"
"What'll you take for the whole
lumpl"
"Five hundred dollars--hawl haw!
hawl"
"Oh, nonsensel" said the market
man, dipping his finger into the hon.
ey, tasting from each of the tubs, and
smacking his lips in anticipation Of
the bargain he was going to make
Believing the whole to be pure honey,
and that he had u fool to deal with, he
at first offered twenty-five dollars for
the lot.
"Four hundred" said the owner,
"give me four hundred dollars, and the
mud is all your'n, tubs and all, by ho'
key"
INo--I'll give you fifty" said the
dealer in marketabes.
"Three hundred" said the Yankee,
"and it's all your'n, tnbs and all, by
gings."
81 won't give you q cent over seven
ty.fve."
"Haw! haw! Then you may have
it for two hundred"
81 dontcare if give you one for
old Acquaintance sake"
The money was presently paid over,
and each party was pleased with the
bargain-the New Yorker, that he
had cheated the foolish Yankee-and
the cute Yankee that he had over
reached the New Yorker. But if such
was the mutual satisfaction, it did not
last long, for the marketInan soon dis
covered the cheat.
He swore and raved, and tore like
d madman. But this not mending
the matter, he went in pursuit of the
Yankee, whom he at length found
sitting snugly by his own fircside.
"What the devil did you mean by
cheating me 50 in that honey9" said
he.
"Honeyl l sold you no honey
said the Yankee, who had by this
time thrown off his stolid appear
ance.
"The devil you didn't! What did
I pay you a hundred dollars forl" an
swered the New Yorker.
"Mud, nothing but mud" returned
the Yankee, land it's your own fault,
you wouldn't take my word for it; |
told you twas nothing but mud"
