The Inraneas RarEaIn and Sale.


In our paper this morning we give the
official bargain and sale by which, on the
25th day of April, the State of Virginia
was uomiually sold ous by the Star Cham
Der despotS OF Richmond TO Alex. II. Ste
PhenS, commissioner from the JED. Davis
Government At Montgomery. There will
scarcely be more than one opinion, we be-
ieve, in this community about this infa-
nous usurpation- 1t will he repudiated,
seorned aud defed here. Yet the Wheel

word and work Of these conspirators-iu
ITS extra of yesterday, makes bold TO say
that this document " will be read With mn
alleged satisfaction by every virginian."-
The assertion is gross caIuuny npon our
people, and one, were it true, that would
call for the General Government and tile
netghboring States on either side Of US to
at once seize and occupy tue ground on
which NC stand. Were we such a nest of

Union would represent US, we would not

Baltimore is rapidly coming to her
senses. We have a dispatch stating that
a spontaneous meeting was held On Mon
day night. a. which 10000 people were
present. Straight out Union speeches
were made, aud the Star spaugIed Banner
was upfurIed, and the utmost enthusiasm
prevailed.
This is glorious news. 1t shows that
the hearts Of the people on the frontiers
are with the Government and that, despite
accession ordinances, or secession mobs,
they will stand by The dag.

The National Crisis.

Some ten or twelvesdays ago, Major
Anderson who held possession Of Fort
Moultrie, successfully perf1med the da-
ring feat of evacuating that fort and ta-
king possession Of Fort Sumpter, much
stronger fortifcation, situate in Charleston
harbor. Before leaving, he spiked the
cannons and burnt the gun carriages
This move, it is said, was taken without
authority, but it is applauded on all hands
as a brilliant maneuver. Since then j -.
B. Floyd, Secretary OF War, Ev-G ov. Thorn
as, Secretary of the Treasury, and Jacob
Thompson, Secretary of the Interior, have
resigned their positions in the Cabinet, as
signing as their reason for so doing the refu-
sal Of the Cabinet to order Major Ander-
son to resume his position in Fort Moultrie
Postmaster General Holt has been appoint
ed to Eli Floyd's place.
Since the change in the Cabinet, the
President has manifested Il disposition to
take stand against the disunionists but
this, has only been brought about by diff
ficult means. Judge Black, seeing that
the President hesitated, sent in his letter
of resignation. He was induced to recall
it, however, at Mr.. Buchanan's urgent
solicitation and assurance that Major An
derson should be reinforced.
We have the following news ly Tues

To the Editor Of The AUeghanjaH:
The President in his Message on the
Union says correctly that if the doctrine
of secession is true, 1.-The Confederacy Is
rope Of sand, to be penetrated or dissolved
by the first adverse wave of public opinion
in any of the states. In this manner our
thirty-three states may resolve themselves
into as many petty, jarring and hostile
republics" Then he quotes Gen. Jackson.
The right Of the people of single state
to absolve themselves at will without the
consent Of other states, from their most
solemn obligation, and hazard the liberty
and happiness of the millions composing
this Union cannot be acknowledged. -
And again he concludes, to confute seces-
sion, "but that the Union was designed to
be perpetual, appears conclusive, from the
nature and extent Of the power conferred
by the Constitution on the Federal Gov
ernment. These powers embrace the very
highest attributes OF national sovereignty.
They place both the sword and the purse
under its control" Under the next head
he says the Constitution Of the United
States is binding on all the states, &c
And again, that secession is neither more
nor less than revolution.
In the above, he talks like a good high
statesman, but then he dcscends and be-
comes like a partisan, asking whether the
Constitution has delegated to Congress the
power 70 force a state into submission,
whilst the Constitution stares him in the
face aud says it has. Article |, Section
/, No. 10, ITO provide for calling forth
the militia to execute the laws of the
Union, suppress insurrection, &c" And
that this power is vested in the President
see Art. H. ''The Executive power shall
be invested in the President of the United
States of America" And he says if there
is insurrection in a state, Congress must
declare war against it. Suppose there
was an insurrection in Cambria county
similar to the whiskey insurrection which
occurred in the S. W. part of Pennsylva-
MIA about sixty-fve years ago, would the
Legislature declare war against the county,
or would not the Governor of Penna act
as the Governor of that time did, and send
an armed force to bring us to subsection?
j. y. sympathises with South Carolina.
and 1t is u misfortune that he was not at
hand to have advised her to remain in her
mothers arms, and not to come into the
Union. But what is the use of talking.
She has been united, and therefore cannot
secede without first obtaining a bill of di-
vorce. The President thinks that the
South has good reason for secession, be-
cause the North is opposed TO slavery
But the truth is, it is the work of few
politicians that want to ride themselves
into office STEPHEN LLOYD

CHAPTER NSvII.
GGnemaugh Borough.

Conemaugh borough was erected by Act
OF Legislature out Of portion of the town
ship of the same name, and lies along and
on the southwest side of Conemaugh
creek. Its western boundary, part natu-
ral part artificial, is singularly irregular.
While the canal divides this borough from
Johnstown proper on u portion of its line,
the southern portion seems Intermixed
with its larger neighbor, aud no stranger,
and, it would seem, nothing but an asses
sor or some other borough officer, can dis
tinguish the true line between the two
boroughs. And this seems the more sin
gular, as Kernville, a village divided from
Johnstown by Stony creek, has been in
cOrporated into JOhustoWn borough, and
is known as Fourth Ward 1t is to be
presumed that all these neighboring vii
lages, COnemaugh, Johnstown, Millville,
Cambria City, Prospect, &c, will ere long
become united in single corporation, as
sumo (what their aggregate population
entitle them to- a city corporation; or at
least, place themselves under single mu-
nicipal government
The population of Conemaugh borough
in 1850, was S54. The recent census, we
understand, shows an increase, though not
so rapid as some of the neighboring vii
lagos, owing to its greater distance from
the Cambria Iron Works
The depot, machine shops, &c, of the
Old Portage Railroad formerly within this
borough, have been abandoned; and the
warehouses consequent upon its use are
also thrown idle. This shows an apparent
decay, without really affecting the popula-
ton.
The foundry of Messrs Pringle, Rose
4 Edison, the largest in the state outside
OF the cities, is situate in the upper portion
of this borough.
The public schools of this borough are
in high state Of prosperity, under the
direction Of skillful teachers and an intel
ligeEt and liberal board of School Direct
oIs.
