Burchard, the revivalist, was in the habit Oi
addressing his Congregation in this manner:

THE UNION,


May God save the Union! God grant it may stand
The pride Of our people,-the boast Of our land.
Still, still, mid the storm moy our banner float free

Startling spiScoyery.

During the sitting Of Court in Connecticut,
not long ago, on a very cold evening, crowd
Of lawyers collected around the open fire that
bIazed cheerfutly on the hearth in the barroom
when traveller entered. benumbed with cold,
bnt no one moved to give him room to warm
his shins, so he leaned against the wall in the
back part of the room.
Presently young limb Of the law addressed
him, and the following dialogue took place:
''You look like a traveller" III at ee

The ordinary rule of ascertaining che net
weight Of beat cattle from the live wsight on
the scales varies according to quality, size and
age, and after all is no rule at all, because it Is
entirely a matter or agreement between the
parties at the time, 1t also depends upon the
locality, In New York, the net weight of The
beet in the quarter only is wanted. In Boston,
the hide and fat are Included, counting those
products equal ono quarter Of the beef or ra-
ther, calling the whole FIVE quarters. There
the net weight Of fat bullock is estimated at
so to 68 ponnds Of each 100 of livs weight.---
In extra fine animals, the per centsge Is higher
In New York, where the hide and fat are left
out Of the calculation, the buiiocks are estilna-
| led at SIS to 20 pounds net TO each 100 pounds
gross and If the animal is very fne, the esti-

Husbands Experience of 70
Strong Minded Woman.

A worthy citizen OF Maine, of fair soc al po-
stion, good plain understanding, and amiable
manners, entered into the holy state Of matri-
mony with a strong minded woman, Our nar-
rative is brief. She had all things her own
way, from the very first hour Her contempt
for his mental powers improved evrry day. Hei
wishes soon assumed the tones of command
They lived on for many years, and the "gray
m are was universally thought to be the better
horse" In her presence, and that of third par
ties, he was rarely known to open his mouth;
and he would no more have thought of giving
an opinion upon uny subject than Of giving up
the ghost. At length his career Of passive obe-
dience came to close; and Miss Popkin chad
not the least doubt what killed him." His last
words and they were remarkable words, gave
something like color to Miss Popkin's opinion,
Then Rev. DR.. Thunderbob attended him in
his last moments, and the conversation between
them has been stated as follows: | - ""

JAMES X. KERR, ESQ.,, the candidate of the
Democracy for Congress in this district, made
speech in Warren on the Goth ult. The Led
ger, his organ in that county, in noticing the
speech of Mr.. Kerr, says -
ssHe reviewed the position of parties at the
present day with great force, and ably argued
the correctness Of the principle of Popular Sore
reignfy, as expounded by Stephen A. Douglas
He announced that he was determined 10 stick
TO that doctrine, as being the only safe way of
disposing OF the Territorial question:
1t is fair logical deduction that, if Mr.
Kerr is ssdetermined to stick" to Popular Sow
ereignty, he repudiates the Breckenridge dog
ma that Slavery, under the Constitution, ex-
lists in the Territories, and that it is the duty
of the Federal Government to protect it there.
How do the Breckenridge Democrats of Clear
field like Mr.. Kerr's position? Will he ssstick
to" it, when he gets among the Democracy
here, and finds that the territorial doctrine of
Douglas is anything but sspopular'' with ma
jority Of the party in this county, awe shall
see, perhaps, what We shall see.''

S.B Row:-In looking over the Clearfeld
Republican of Aug. 29th, 1 see the assertion
made that Henry d. Foster ssdoes not rest on
straddl1ng two platforms. This bothered me
somewhat, for had just been examining three
or four platforms which are claimed Demo
cratic. at first the thought arose: perhaps, if
he does not straddle two platforms, he strad-
dies four; then, again, if he does not straddle
four, he may perhaps crest" on one, but which
one 2 l then again referred to the platforms,
and taking up the one made at Cincinnatl,in IL
found plank with these words :-''That the
&c time has come for the people of the United
60 States to declare themselves in favor OF free
&c seas and progressive free trade ~ PerhapS,
I thought, as Gen. Foster is 4 Pennsylvania,
and this platform was adopted four years ago,
the Democratic doctrine or that point may
have been changed well as on others, and
being against Pennsylvania interests, he would
| not ssrest'' on that. So / turned to what is
| called the platform of the Reading Conven-
| tion. which closed on the I'd day Of March, in
| the year of our Lord one thousand eight hun
! dred and sixty, and at which Convention Gen.
| Foster was nominated for Governor; but, 10
and beholdi in the first resolution L found re-
affirmation of the Cincinnati platform. Now,
| Gen. Foster, thinks |, we have got you crest
| ing'' on a free trade platform but on further
| examination found plank in the same plat
| form, which says, ssThat the convictions of the
| Democratic party of Pennsylvania remain un-
| shaken In the WlSdOm ana Justice OF adequate
! protection of iron, coal, and the other great
staples of the country" Now, says | to my
| self, this begins to look like Pennsylvania doc
| trine but may be this is s'Polk, Dallas, and
| the Tariff OF '42," come again. 1t sounds
very much like it, and the more | think over
it the more it appears to me like cheat OF the
same Sort / then referred to another plat
FORM called the Breckenridge platform; here

! slavery in the Territories; I'd, that the Terri
torial Legislature has no power to abolish sla-
very in any Territory then turned to what
is called the Douglas platform, and found that,
| according to its teaching, it is democratic
doctrine'' to abide by the decisions of the Su-
preme Court OF the United States over the in
sttution of Slavery within the Territories.
| Here my mind became confused with the con-
| ficting doctrines of the Democratic faith, and

MILTON N. TAYLOR, of Baltimore, has writ
ming to serve as one of the Democratic State
Electors for Maryland, and in speaking of the
Con, ention which nominated Mr.. Brcckin-
ridge. he pointedly remarks =
ssI next inquired into the political lives of
the candidates which these gentlemen have
nominated, and find that the candidate for the
Presidency was for Gen. Taylor in 184S, that
he expressed KnolC- -Nothing sentiments at a later
period, that he was for Popular Sovereignty in
1856, and that he is for Congressional interyen-
tion in 1860; and find that the candidate for
the Vice Presidency has been quite as erratic
as his chief. These results satisfy me that,
however well suited their candidates may be
for the purpose of those who nominated them,
they do not at this time represent the princi-
piles for which the National Democratic party,
both in the Union and in this State, are to do
battle now."
We direct the attention Of the editors of the
Clearfed Republican to the above, particularly
to that which is in italics 1t will be good
text for another article against men who have
been guilty of s'huntng Catholics with broad
sword and dark iantern," and s'talking of the
criminals and paupers shipped upon us by Ire
land and France" We like to see such arti-
cles-there is so much originality about them
that it does one good to read them-they are
really refreshing. And, besides, it may be a
great treat to the editors of the Republican
themselves, they being specially fond of pitch
ing rough-shod into everybody tainted in the
least with Known othingismi

THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION

We hope the voters of the Oath Congression-
al District will ponder well the subject OF elect
ting a man TO represent them in the legislative
branch Of the federal government. 1t happens
too often that individuals are sent to Congress
who know little of, and care less for the re-
sources and wants of our Commonwealth
they being the representatives of mere party
spirit and party schemes, regardless of the in
terests of their constituents and the people at
large. While other States have, heretofore,
been demanding and receiving legislative IA
vors, the great resources of Pennsylvania were
dsregarded, because she had men there, who,
like Geo. NJ. Dallas, and some others Of less
note not so far from this district, proved recre-
ant to the trust confided to their keeping. Du-
ring the past few yeaIs, however, the people
of our State have been waking up to the i'm
portance of exercising more care in the selec-
tion of Congressman, and men are beginning
to be chosen not alone for their devotion to
party, but also for their devotion to Pennsyl
vania-because they understand and appreci-
ate, and have the courage and honesty to ad-
Commonwealth. When good man is found
- one who possesses the energy, the s'back-
bone,'' and the requisite amount of practical
qualifcation-we think it is the duty of the
people to elect him. We conscientiously be-
lieve that III Gen. John Patton, the Republi-
can candidate, we have just such man as the
sswild- -cat'' district should have to represent
them in Congress. He is an unwavering advo-
cate of Protective Tarif-the interests of
Free White Labor will always receive his ac-
tive support-the men who toll in the fields
and the workshops will at all times find in him
true friend-and the cause of Freedom will
ever have in him warm defender, who will by
all constitutional and lawful means, resist ev-
cry effort to extend the blight of Slavery over
the Territories of the United States.
