By SAMUEL j. ROW
THE cLEARF1ELD REPUBLICAN AGAIN.

The editors of the ClearfeM Republican
seem to think that somebody is annoyed by
the course Of their paper. Pretty correct IN
one point of view. 1t is annoying for any OF
our loyal citizens travelling abroad, to have
COP, of the Clearfeld Republican stuck under
his nose, with the inquiry as to whether that
paper represents the people of his county, and
whether they are all secessionists up there
Such things sometimes occur and under the
both annoyed and disgraced, by the fact that
such a sheet is published in his county.
The ruling passion of the editors of that pa
Der is, an intense hatred of the Republican
party, and it seems to afford them an especial
delight to misrepresent Lincoln and Greedy.
Their last paper, for instance, has an article
in it for the second time; purportng to show
that Lincoln in lS48 made a speech, in which
he advocated the doctrine of the right of a
State to secede from the Union. Now, Mr..
Lincoln does not say any thing about the right
of State to secede, in that speech; nor did
he ever admit or advocate such right in any
speech in his life. The speech referred to
was made about the period when downtrod-
den Hungary was rising in arms against the
Austrian Government, and when every true
Americeu heart sympathised with her brave
people. The speech of Lincoln alluded to,
defends the right of rebellion and revolution,
as a remedy for any people who find their lib
critics destroyed by the government under
which they live. This is right which no
Statesman ever denied. 1t is the right to de-
stroy and defy the existing government, in
order to get relief from oppression for which
there is no other redress. But the right OF
secession, as claimed by the rebels, is very
different thing. They claim that the Union is
nothing but compact of States, and that the
States have the right to withdraw or secede
whenever they please--and that such secession
is not rebellion and revolution against the
government, but right belonging to them
under the existing Constitution and laws.
When Mr.. Lincoln made the speech refer
red to, the right of Secession as now claimed
was not under discussion. Such terms as the
"right of State to secede from the Union, ''
or the ssright of Secession were not used
and not thought of.
This is only specimen of the misrepresen-
tation continually found in the columns Of the
Republican. Greely comes in for full share
of their editorial wrath. They fairly gnash
their teeth at the "Tribune.' But they
might as we'll keep their temper. The "Trib-
une" still flourishes, and contains more whole
some truth in one number of that paper, than
can be found in the Cledrtied Republican for a
whole year.

A UNION MOVEMENT IN NORTH CAROLINA
Col. G.. II. Foster is announced as an uncon-
ditional Union candidate for Congress in the
First Congressional District of North Carroll
ma. Having made his appointments, he will
soon take the stump and prosecute vigorous
canvass. He boldly appeared and defended
the course of the Federal Administration in
strong Union speeches, at large public meet
ings which were got up by disunionists, for
the express purpose of denouncng Mr. Foster,
and, if possible, driving him out of the State.
at all of these meetings Mr.. Foster appeared
in person and met the traitors face to face,
and told them to their teeth what they might
expect if they continued in this unholy rebel
lion against the Union. Mr.. Foster is man
OF iron will and undaunted courage, of bril-
liant talent, with very effective and inished
style of oratory. He was among the ablest
supporters of Beckinridge in the last campaign,
and was also the first to take the stump for
the Union at the opening of this great rebel
lion. He says that if few Federal regiments
were stationed in North Carolina, one in each
congressional district to protect the Union
men, there would be full delegation of un-
conditional Union members elected to Con-
gress from that State on the first Thursday of
August next. He says that brigade of loyal
North Carolinians might be easily raised to
cooperate with the Federal forces in putting
down he reasonable usnrpation of Governor
Ellis and others in his State.

LOOK OUT FOR CoMPRoMIsERs.-1t has been
ascertained that men OF high position, Senator
Bayard of Delaware, and perhaps Senator
Hunter of Virginia, have been in New York,
secretly trying to enlist the efforts of certain
politicians in favor of some kind of compro-
mise that will enure to the benefit of the reb-
els. The traitors, perhaps, see that they are
destined to be put down. 1t is therefore pol
icy for them to have secret emissalies to Sc
cu-e, if possible, cessation of hostillites
and finally some kind of compromise, that
will save them from the just punishment of
their crimes. 1t would seem that they were
successful in enlisting some of their old
friends in the service and Immediately we
hear of meeting at New York of Northern
editors and politicians, who are in sympathy
with the secessionists. The programme seems
to be, that they will aid the traitors in their
schemes by raising general cry in favor OF
compromise and peace, and by doing every
thing possible to embarrass the Administra-
tion in the prosecution of the war. Look out
for these. compromisers. They are that class
of persons spoken of by Patrick Henry, who
cry "Peace, peace" when there is no peace
and who would lull you with their syren song till
your enemies have bound you hand and foot.

JEFFERsoS's NOTIONS OF ssCoEasIoN I'm
answer to questions put to him in 1856, be-
fore the adoption of the present Constitution,
Jefferson wrote: 'sIt has often been said that
the decisions of Congress are impotent, be-
cause the confederation provides no compul-
sorry power. But when two or more nations
enter into compact, it is not unusual for them
to say what shall be done to the party who in
fringe it. Decency forbids, and it is as un-
necessary as indecent. because the right OF
compulsion naturally results to the party in
Jured by the breach. When any one State in
the American Union refuses obedience to the
confederation by which they have bound them
selves, the rest have natural right to compel
them to obedience. Congress would probably
exercise long patience before they would re-
cur to force; but if the case ultimately re-
quired it, they would use that recurran ce.
Should the case ever arise, they will proba-
bly, coerce by naval force, as being more
easy"
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1861-07-03

Hon. JOHN NJ. BoTTs.-The following ex-
tracts are from letter written by Mr.. Bolts TO
the editors of the New fork Tribaue, dated
Washington city, June "a, 1861, which he O.
pens by saying ssYou will be surprised to
hear from me, and especially from this place.
1t was with great danger l reached here, and
only under cover of Disguise That so dis
tingushed citizen of Virginia could only
thus reach the capital of his country, pains
even more than it surprises us. The fact is
one of those striking comments upon the char
acter of the Southern lnSurrectloD which do
not need to be enlarged upon.
But the context of Mr.. Botts's letter is even
more surprising than the circumstances under
which it is written. He is in Washington as
a member of Congress, and is there we pre-
sumo, to take his seat in the House on the 4th
OF July next. This important fact has been
suppressed by the Richmond papers, but we
have the authority of Mr.. Bolts himself for the
statement in these precise terms ssI announc-
ed myself a candidate for the Richm ond
District, and received 1T3 votes. Which, there
being no opposition, elects me-"
But the letter brings us other and even more
important intelligence. We learn from it that
the Southern insurrection of white men is al
ready at the last gasp, while Instructions of
Southern black men threaten the destruction
of slavery. And these facts we have not only
on the testimony Of John Minor Bolts, who
might be regarded as q partial witness, Out on
the authority of Gen. Bcauregardi himself,
who is certainly more competent to speak up
on the subject than any other man in the coun-
try. Beauregard, says Mr.. Bolts, has sent q
circular South, from which the following is q
quotation "If the Cotton States do not raise
aud equip One Hundred Thousand Men in sir
tUeelss, ice are ruined.'' So much for the white
insurrectiOn. On the black, he says: s'Our
troops in this State (Virginia) to great ex-
tent, are busy in suppressng instructions a
mong the blacks. They are breaking out in
every direction" But, this has significance
10 us, at the North, which puts a new face up
on this question. Gen. Beauregard's circular
adds g But for this your desire 10 see Washing
TON in ruins 1cOuid long since hare been gratifed.
There is another bit of news in Mr.. Bolts 8
letter more interesting than important. We
have more confidence in Extra Billy, Smith S
disposition than his power to do mischief.
He. says Mr.. Bolts, sis now in this city,
Washington. The object of his visit is TO cor
respond with Maryland traitors. The Legis-
lature of that State, Mr.. Bolts assures us, has
been advised by JEFF. Davis to continue in ses-
sion, adjourning only for short intervals.
sSmith,' - he adds, .swas in the War Depart
ment to-day disguised beggar.' 1t is
proper to add that have the permission of
Mr.. Bolts to give to the public, this morning,
the principal and most interesting facts con-
tanned in his letter. Our readers, no less than
ourselves, will be greatly indebted to him for
this permission.
