The NULLiFICATIoN DIFFICULTY OF 1888
How 1T WAS SETTLED. Tho politicians
who are opposed to compromise of our
present sectional difficulty are constantly
referring to the crisis of South Carolina
notification OF 1882, which they tell US
was put down 10y force Of the Govern
ment of General jackson. Without, in
the present connection, referring to the
widely different state of our political af-
fairs now from what they were then, it is
sufficient to say that that difficulty was
settled not y coercion, but by compro-
mise. South Carolina demanded a le-
dress O. grievance 10y the repeal or mod
itication of the tariff of 1923, which bore
heavily upon her industry. 1t was upon
this issue that she made preparations iol
secession from the Union, In the heigh'
of the difficulty. Mr.. Clay introduced hi
Tariff Compromise Bill, which obviatec
the objections of Soutn Carolina to lh,
Black Tariff OF 1898. The bill passed, anC
y e crisis was averted. The politicians o
that day, such as General jackson anC
Mr.. Clay, were for compromise between
the State AMI the General Government
and the compromise was made. Ou
troubles now will have to be settled il
same way, or no. be settled at all.-CHn

RHODE IssAND.-To Rhode Island, the
last State to come into the Union, be
longs the honor Of being the first Stat 10
repeal the Personal Liberty act upon her
statute book, er acted with n view Of nul
lifying the fugitive slave law. There
can be little doubt that the Goyernor will
give the repeating bill his prompt apPro-
val, as lie was elected as \ conservative
in opposition to the regular Republican
nominee. If he should not, the majority
is sufficiently large to pass it over his veto
10y a two-thirds vote. The example Of
little Rhode Island should be promptly
followed by all the States that have passed
objectiona olo acts. And. above all, Penn,
sylvania should not hesitate. Her act Of
l847 may not be as offensive as those ad-
opted by other States since the passage oi
the fugitive law, but some Of it's proyis-
ions are disgraceful and demand prompt
modification -PLtriot d, Union.

slave ry never ceased anywhere on n
principle Of religion the religion of all

rot be enforced among Christians on that
ground, without reproducing the founder
CT their religion. Many who think them
selves Christians are nov engaged IN

ascertain whether they have fulfilled the
pIecepts of Christ before they assume a
moral superiority over him and under
take todo what he did not, To the poll

patton il is needless to give the like adj
moniiion. They have their views and the
succe IS of these would be poorly promo
ted by following the precepts of the Cos
pel. Their kingdom is of this world, and
to reach it they will do the things they
ought no., and leave undone the things
which they ought to do. Slavery will
cease. in the course of some generations,
in several Of the States where it now ex-
lists, and cease upon the same principles
on which it has disappeared elsewhere"

Isaac g. Gordon, Esq.

This gentleman has for some time past
been attempting to out "lIerod" Gerrit
Smith in his Abolitionism and he has
nigh succeeded. His outrage ,us aboli.
tionism. which he is retailing to his BROTH
er members Of the Assembly, are unpala-
table to a; least three>fourths Of his con.
stitucnts in this county, and we believe
elsewhere in the District. Aboltionism
aud the Chicago Platform may be palata'
bic to majority of the nor rIhern portion
of this Assembly District; bat Clearfeld
county desires to be represented by somo
other person than the "wooden-nutmes,
philantropic" gentlman who is now mis-
representing us at Harrisburg, in the per
son of |. &. Gordon.
From his conduct in the House, we are
led to believe that mistake must have
been made-that he must have taken ar
oath to support the Chicago Platform, as
he is always referring his brother mem
bers to it--as though it was the sheet an"
chor of the nation while upon the other
hand the Constitution is very scldom al
luded to by him.
If the country is to be relieved from tht
humiliating condition to which the teach
ings and doctrines of the Chicago Plat
form have brought it, soue other coun
sells must prevail at Harrisburg anc
Washington. The sentiments OF JohI
Brownlsm must be repudiatei before TIVE
months roll round, or tie nation will b,
deluged in blood.
Citizens Of CIearfeld county, are 20,
willing to be represented at Harrisburg a
Abolitionists? If not, call upon Mr.
Gordon to resign and go home.

Another Letter from Gov. DoWney.

SACRAMENTO, May 18th, 1861.
HoN. }. G.. DowNEY- Dear Sir: We have read
with much concern the concluding part of your
recent letter upon the subject of our national
difficulties; and while we discover in it nothing
to affect our coddence in your loyalty and de-
votion to the Union. there is no doubt that it is
liable to misconstruction in several important
particulars. 1t will be to us matter of profound
regret if the high position you have heretofore
occupied in the estimation of the people of the
State should be prcjudiccd by having sentiments
attributed to you which we are persuaded you do
not entertain and the suspicion of which may be
easily removed. That which is of most cQnse-
qucnce in the present condition OF aEniTs rs
frank and explicit recognition of the obligations
resting upon our State. as a member of the Fede-
raj Union, and we rely with great confidence
upon your disposition to maintain her integrity
in this respect by any sacrifice necessary to pre-
serve the honor of the nation. 1t is not our pur
pose to inquire into our personal views upon any
question of policy, but as doubts have been cx,
pressed, touching your fidelity to the Govern
ment, it is highly proper that these doubts should
be Immediately solved by an emphatic decara-
ton upon the subject. We beg to assure you
that this communication is prompted by the most
sincere feeling of friendship, and we hope that
you may agree with us as to the prorriety of an
explanation upon the points suggested.
We are, sir, with great respect ETC..

THE LIFE.CLOCK.

There is a little music clock,
No human eye hath seen;
That beatcth on, and beateth on,
From morn until e'en.
And when the soul is wrapped in sleep,
And heareth not q sound,
1t ticks, and ticks the livelong night,
And never runneth down.
o wondrous is the work OF art
Which knells the passing hour;
But art 'er formed nor mind conceived
The lifecock's magic power.
Nor set the gold, not decked with gems,
BY pride and wealth possessed;
But rich or poor, or high or low,
Each bears it in his breast.
When life's deep stream, mid beds of flowers
All still and softly glides,
Like the wavclet's step, with gentle beat,
1t warns of passing tides.
When passion nerves the warriors arm
For deeds Of hate ard wrong,
Though needed not the fearful sound.
The knell is deep and strong.
When eyes to eyes are gazing soft,
And tender words ale spoken,
Then fast and wild it rattles on,
As if with love 'twere broken
Such is the clock that measures life,
OF flesh and spirit blended
And then twill run within the breast
Till this strange life is ended.

What is a Zouave."

Doesiicks saws he is "a fellow with blue
bag having sleeves to it for "A coat; with two
red bags without sleeves to them for trous
ers; with an embroidered and braid ID bag
for vest; with cap like Il red woolen
sauce pan; with yellow boots like the fourth
robber in a stage play; with n mustarhe like
two half pound paint brushes, and with a
sort of sword gun or gun sword for weap
on, that looks like the result Of a love affair
between an emorous broad sword and Il lone
" musket, indscreet and tender-tha, is a
Zouave. A fellow who can 'pulI up hun
dre,l and ten pound dumb bell; who can
climb up an eighty foot rope, hand over
hand, with barrel Of flour hanging to his
heels; who can do the giant swing on a
horizontal bar with a fifly-six tied to each
ankle; who can walk up four flights of stairs,
holding heavy man in each hand t arms
length; and who can climb a creased pole
feet first, carrying barrel Of pork in his
teeth-that is Zouave. A fellow who can
jump seventeen feet four inches high with
out a spring board; who can tie his legs in
double bow knots round his neck without
previously softening his shin bones in p
steam bath; who can walk Blondin's tight
rope with his omach outside of nine bran
dy cocktails, suit of armor outside his
stomach, and stiff north east gale outside
of that; who can take a five shooting revol
yer in each hand and knock the spots off the
ten of diamonds at eighty PAGES, turning
summersaults all the time and firing every
shot in the air-.that is a Zouave."

A Precious Item.

-
The following precious moroccan is culled
from the Atlantic News. It will be ra,
membered that this John Brown, jr., who is
to lead these Canadian negroes, is one of the
Williams who attacked and mur :ered citizens
of Virginia at lIarper's Ferry. An indct
ment for murder is now hanging over him
in that State; but instead OF meeting his
just deserts, he is permitted to raise negro
gang for the invasion OF Virginia; and with
out the hndrance of the authorities of Penn
sylvania
A letter in the Cleveland Herald from
Youngstown, Ohio, dated April 2Sth, says:
II have Just learned from canal boat cap,
tain, who reached tn S place last evening,
that John Brown, Jr, is encamped on Bea-
yer river, about midway between Newcastle,
Penn, and the Ohio river, with four hundred
negroes, principally from Canada, whom he
is practising in military drill. The cap ain
Of whom speak brought large amount OF
-four and other provisions from Pittsburg
for the camp. He did not learn the paricn.
lar object of the gathering, but presumes it
has some relation to a visit to Virginia
probably IIarper's Ferry-when the proper
time arrives. The camp is not more than a
days march from the Virginia line. The
captain further states that 500 additional
negroes are expected to reach the camp in n
few days They were well provisioned and
supplied generally. Another canal boat has
since arrived, whose captain confirms the
re ort of seeing large body Of negroes Ell
canped on the Seven Mile Sleckwater.'
