fa- The struggle in Texas is between
slavery and frcedom-slavery that kill
eth, and freedom that maketh alive
NtW York Tribune.
That is the manner in which the leading
Republican paper of the country speaks of
the late slave insurrection in Texas. Abo-
litionists of the Lincoln-irrepressiblc-
fict' school have stirred the slaves to
revolt, They have instructed them to
burn their masters dwellings and stables
and barns, to poison them in their meals
to massacre them, to commit outragcs on
their wives and daughters. The Tribune
has no word of condemnation for such
atrocities, inspired as they are by the
demon of Abolitionism.

Tiffiin, Ohio in the course of his remarks

TIE BRITISH NAvY.-Donald Mckay
writes to the Boston Commercial Bulletin
some of the results of his observations in
the British navy yards. The Government
is nov building fity-eight steam war ycs'
sells of various kinds, carrying / ,7S3 guns,
or nearly as many as the whole United
States navy BY the middle of next year,
when the ships now on the stocks are com.
pleted, the British feet will count 735 YES
sells, with 1909 guns and 1872 ,786 horse
power, or about eight times as many guns
as our navy. Over two hundred Thousand
men will be required to man the vessels
The French navy is, in guns, only a little
over half as strong as the English.

SATIsFAcToRY.-Thc proceeding of the
State Executive Committee at Cresson,
seems to give very general satisfaction to
both wings of the Democratic party. 1t
is the most re asonablc proposition made
the only one that can bring out the strength
of the party and insure a triumphant VIC
tory.
The Democracy of Clarion are sound to
the core-cach man is ready TO adopt a
policy to defeat the common enemy. The
way is now clear and the policy adopted
at Crcsson will unite the party and elect
the candidates that stand on the broad
platform of Democracy.
The Clearfeld Republican, like every
Democratic paper in the State, speaks fa-
vorably of the action of the Committee,
and expresses belief of its meeting with
entire success.

REpUDLIoANIsM IN New YoRK.-The
N. Y. Tribune is getting " WEAK IN THE
KNEES" 1t complains bitterly that the
Republicans don't buy its documents, that
the campaign life of the Rail Splitter don't
sell, and that "Gen1 Apathy" has com.
mand of its forces generally. It's no use,
Rcpublicanism has got the blind Staggers
in New York, and is bound to "GO UP ~
Wouldt it be a good joke if, after all
the Post Offices, Collectors Offices and
other little pickings have been parccled
out in anticipation, Lincoln should fail
before the people? Would't it be funny
if neither the DocToR nor the MERCHANT
should get our Post Office! And wouldn't
it prevent either one from quarreling with
tho other over the a" "Jone" if the Demo
Gratis should retain the Offices for them
selves JUST so!

Republican Consistency,

In the Republican Convention of last
Saturday, DIR. John offered resolution
alleging that the Republican party, is the
"only National party" of the country
The truth of this assertion we utterly de
ny and shall prove its falsity by their own
undisputed record. When similar reso.
luton was offered in the Republican Wig
wam' at Chicago on the 10th of last June,
Judge Jessop, of Montrose, in this State,
called the attention of the President of the
Convention to its peculiar phraseology
viz -" National Republican party" de.
nying that they were National party
and as the sense and judgement of that
Convention, the term "Nationat" was
stricken from the Republican vocabulary
Columbia Democrat and Bloomsburg general advertiser. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1850-1866, 1860-09-08

The speaker asserted that the election
Of Lincoln would not dissolve the Union,
and gave as reason that twenty millions
of freemen in the North could easily
prevent the eight millions of whites,
and their Slaves in the South from
going out Of the Union. So then
according to Mr. Bounds own showing,
the election of Lincoln is to be the signal
for series of John Brown raids upon our
Southern brethren. Mr.. Lincoln if cleo
ted, which may Heaven prevent, is TO car
ry out the "Irrepressiblc Conflict" and the
twenty millions of the North are to coerce
the South and force them to submit to re-.
publican measures.
Mr.. Bound is a candidate for the Senate.
Will the people of Columbia county sup
port him We think not.
The speaker drew invidious comparisons
between the North and the South, after
the fashion of Lovcjoy and Sumner and
he most cffectually used up all his tariff
argument by the following assertion
After lamenting the prostration of the
country, its trade, its manufacturers, its
commerce, he affirmed that the manufac-
lures of Massachusetts, alone, were worth
yearly, ten times as much as the whole
Cotton crop of the South. Now the Cotton
crop of the United States for 1856 was
3,527 ,s45 bales, weighing each about 400
lbs, and worth about cents pound. 1t
is large sum of money, and the country
is not so badly ruined as you would sup
pose. Try again Mr.. Bound, but cover
your tracks more shrowdly.

Massachusetts,, to withdraw the Army
from Mexico and relinquish all the ad-
vantagcs our glorious army had gained, p,
without any guarantee Of good faith to

The Tariff Cheat.

1t may be interesting for the tariff men
Of Pennsylvania to know that the head of
the New York Republican electoral ticket
is William G. Bryant, the editor of the
Euening Post, and for forty years an un.
changing Free Trade man. Mr.. Bryant
denies that the twelfth resolution of the
Chicago Platform contains single word
in favor of the protection of home labor or
home productions. To this effect his jour-
nal remarks as follows:
"The twelfth Of these resolutions is call
cd in some of the journals an approval OF
higher tariff of duties. The tribune seems
to have fallen in the same mistake when it
calls it a resolution in favor of a protective
tarif.-We have read the resolution sevc-
raj times over, and cannot fnd u single
aeord IN tavo, of raising tie dutaeS on a1a-
ported goods, nor the SttghtesS mention Of
the dctrine cf protection. Favoritism to
the manufacturers is no part Of the policy
it recommends to the adoption of the Gov
ornment.
"This is the Interpretation we pit upon
the resolution adopted at Chicago, and
it is as fair construction as any other
If any other construction be tairor or
truer one, then aCe do not JcIong 10 the par
IN by achtch Me resolution as adopted. If
it was intended to pass a resolution which
should mean nothing distinct or positive,
but should bear two constructions, then the
Convention has done what was unworthy
of the party whom it processes to represent
and we are ash AIMED of it. 1t would have
become it better to be silent on that topic
altogether.
"The construction we have placed upon
this resolution we shall hold to firmly. u
the Republican party should elect its can-
diclate lie must act on TINT construction, On
he s0iu soon tint himseB encountered by
an opposition by schich he a0iU be oDer-
acheIpied"
While Mr.. Curtin is holding up this
same twelfth resolution as pledging the
Republican party to protective tariff, the
head man on the New York electoral tick
ct fatty contradicts all his assumptions
Who is cheating and who is to be cheated
Both can't be right. Let Mr.. Curtin tax {
courage and give us little variety by ox
pressing bis opinions on the fourteenth res
olution, or "Dutch plank"
