selves astonished that so simpica piece OF mech

EEarPer's Ferry Raid.

RICHMoED, Va, Nov. 17.-RepoTts
have been received here to day from
Charleston, stating that an attempted res
cue Of Brown was expected, and created
great excitement. The military are un-
der arms, ready to march at a moments
warning.
EYening-A dispatch was received this
evening from Col. Davis ut Charleston, to
Gov. Wise, requesting hiIn to send imue-
diately two companies Of cavalry, and
stating that fve barns and outhouscs had
been fred to-day 1t was supposed by
symIathizars With Brown.
The Richmond dispatch states that Ed
ward MONT who was arrested ut Lynch
burg as = suspected participant In Browns
toray has 3@an released forwaut ofcyidcuce.
The identity ing parties have proceeded to
Nytheyille for the purpose Of examining
another suspected fu- tive. Several sus-
pected persons, mostly northern persons.

slaves vs.. CEatteis.

BY the decision OF the highest tribunal
known to our laws, Slavery exists in all
the territories Of the Union; that is to
say, the right Of Southcrncr to take his
negroes to a territory and hold them there
in Slavery, is quite as good As the right
of Northern man to 90 there with his
horse, or COW, or any other chattel, and
hold 1t as personal property. This decis-
ion is based upon the notion that a Slave
is as much the property Of his master rs
an OK is the property Of his owner Under
the laws of Slaveholding States, Slaves
are made personal property, Cor rather We
should say treated as such, for no law could
make them so,) and it unfortunately hap
pens that the People of the Free States,
for the purposes Of "Union aud Harmony"
are called upon TO regard them in that
light. But, even though we concede this
right Of property TO the Stakeholder, still
1t is not all he demands, nor all he GETS
He would have his '|right" superior to
that Of his Northern brother; and Congress
sional enactments and judicial decisions
make it so. Thus, if a slave escape from
servitude, all the authorities and people
of the State and Federal governments may
at once be called upon to see that he be
caught and returned to his master; and
the individual who chooses to obey the
dictates Of his conscience, rather than this
call, subjects himself to a very heavy pen
atty. But it is quite different where a
horse or other such chattel runs away from
its owner. In such case the owner has
the privilege of one of three things-catch
him himself, pay somebody else to catch
him, or lose him! Verify, there is great
difference between Southern chattels and
Northern chattels.
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1859-11-24

Assuming all this to be true, and we
think it viii not be doubted, the natural
conclusion is, that these resources should
be developed. But how is this to be done?
We answer, by PRoTEcTIvE TARIFF
Nothing is required to turn our Immense
wealth to good advantage, but proper en-
couragemen., and adequate protection to
HOME INDUSTRY. Let Us have Tariff
which will enable our own American ci,i-
2ens to compete with and undersell Europe
ans, in the manufacture and vending Of irCn,
zinc, paint, and many othei articles which
are now 50 freely imported to this coun-
try. Let us, we say, have such q Tariff
"a Tariff which viii protect our own people
against the pauper labor of Great Britain
and soon viii our country be humming
with furnaces, rolling mills, and other
manufacturing embellishments. How stand
the good people Of Cambria upon this sub
ject? Hitherto they have generally given
large Loco-Foco majorities, thus encour-
aging and supporting the ruinous Free
Trade Party, and practically opposing the
development Of the resources Of their own
county. Win they DO SO lonser1 Judg-
ing from the votes recorded at the two
last elections, we have much better to hope
for. But we leave 1860 to answer the
question.

4 WOFG About Cambria.

80 far as territorial extent Is concerned,
Cambria IS amongst the smallest counties
IN the State; and in point of Agriculture
her position is necessarily in the back
ground. We make this last remark, not
because she does not contain within her
limits many well-to-do farmers, but because
her soil is not, as general thing, so well
adapted to Agricultural pursuits Us that Of
many of her sister counties. This. it must
be confessed is drawback but while we
confess the fact, it is not little crafty
ing to every true "frosty son of thunder
to know that 1t Is more than compensated
for IN many other advantages which we
possess. We do not believe there is
county in Pennsylvania, taking territorial
area into consideration, that can boast of
more substantial wealth than Cambria
Her mineral and other resources are in
calculable- While she may be and is un-
able to send any considerable quantity of
the agricultural products of her soil to
other markets, she has, we think, suff-
cient land under cultivation to feed her
citizens and all the stock which they have
occasion to raise and keep. Her deep and
impenetrable forests viii furnish enough
of lumber to build cities on her own soil
and elsewhere, and give to her own and
other mechanics material to work upon for
ages. Her beds Of coal and iron-ore. we
might say, are inexhaustible She has
coal enough to supply half the demand of
the whole country, and twenty furnaces
would not exhaust her iron-ore in a thous
and years. More than these, she has vast
deposits of other valuable minerals, the
whole going TO show that her resources
are abundant 70 secure the future prosper
ity of her citizens.

agreement with her, tool, it, and has since
during lis most tender days, nursod and
nuturcd it. This, IN addition to the Dl0rGt
obligation which the father Of every bas-
tard incur5 the moment of its bin ia, casts
upon him the legcst obligation Of father
and removes another reason Of superior
right IN the mother to the guardianship
Of its pergea. 1t may be doubted then,
perhaps, whether in this instance, the
t'.;oi rights Of the mother rise much, it
any, superior to those Of the putatiTe
father
But, irrespective of the question of le-
gal right, Is between them, the Court as
we have seen, possesses controlling dis
cretionary power. to give It 70 either, or
withhold it from both, and give toa stran-
