"wooding Up on the Missouri.

Reader, do you remember the picture near the
beginning of the Geography you used to study
in your early schooldays, representing band of
Indians, standing on high bluff and gazing in
tently on a heavily-laden steamboat blowing
her way through the river at its foot? The pic
ture was wildly brought back to our own mind
last Sunday morning.
About 60 miles above St. Louis, Steep bold
bluff rises abruptly from the turbid waters OF the
Missouri river to the height of more than 200 IT.
Half the ascent, though steep, is gradual, with
good setting Of lockwood and other trees un,
and Jagged ledge of stratified limestone rock
springs from the side, and rises perpendicularly,
until the trees that crown its top seem almost to
challenge the clouds as they float lazily over
head. Brown and SCARED with the storms Of

y No HARM EH!--The following significant par
agraph appears in the last issue of the Clearfeld
Republican
q The Philadelphia North american is afraid
that Genereral Robert E. Lee might be the next
candidate of the Democratic party for President
What a terrible shock this would be to the exclu-

either to the country or to the General"
A-hem {. No harm aOoud result y then, by

Democratic View of the Situation.

Democratic View of the Situation.
TheSt. Mary's Gazette, always supporter of
the Democratic party, reviews the political sit
uation in Maryland, " and classfes (" the differ
parties into which the public sentiment of the
State appears to be divided We make the fol-
lowing extracts
There are now no less than four distinctive
partiesin this State. In numerical power the
Democratic party is greatly stronger than the
other three parties combined and is perhaps also
second in elective strength. It is, of course, a
unit against the Registry law and nearly unani-
nous for the restoration policy of President
Johnson. The party Of Senator Cres,oey the
1lhomases and the Baltimore american is the neat
IN order. IL IS the second IN numerical strength
and the first in electioe poaceT. This party is UNI
animous for the Registry law and a unit against
President johnson. The third party agrees in
sentiment upon vital issues with the Democratic
party. It upholds johnson and favor5 the repeal
or at least the modification of the Registry law
1t is headed by Mr.. Speaker Frazier, and embra-
ces all opponents of the Registry law and all the
real friends of President Johnson's policy of res
! toration outside of the Democratic party -
Though of considerable Independent weight, this
party derives its chief significance from its init
| mate Identification with President Johnson and
from being the recipient of his confidence and
patronage in the State. The fourth and last par
tn is composed Of Governor Seam and has adhe-
rents, and Is the aoeakest, both IN numerical and
eIectioe strength, of the quartette. 1t is against
negro suffrage and opposed to the repeal of the
Registry law These are its minor tenets, how
ever, its cardinal one being the election Of Gov
ernor Swami to the United States Senate. For
this the Governor is now in market and is pre-
pared to sell himself and party at the shortest
! notice.
| It is clear to our Judgment that the ultimate
parties in this struggle are the Democratic and
the Radical, and that the two others will be alb
sorbed by these before the election.

The Union Executive Committee


Last week we published a call for meeting
of the Union Executive Committee of Baltimore
County, to be held in this town on Wednesday
On the day named, some of the members, of the
committee assembled here, but it was soon found
that the majority present had determined to go
beyond their legitimate rights and to lay down
platform for the guidance Of the Union party
in the county, in advance of the action of the
people themselves-in fact that resolutions were
already prepared { probably in the Custom House
or Baltimore Post-ofice pledging the party TO
measures and policy which it does not uphold
Under these circumstances several members of
the Committee refused to go into the meeting
and the advocates of my policy had things
all their own way. They passed series of res
olutionS and presented them to the public, but
they do not reflect the sentiments of the Union
people of the county, and are only to be taken
as the individual opinions of few ofice-hoIders
This minority of the Committee refused to call
meetings to elect delegates to the State Conven-
ton to be held in Baltimore on the 9th of June
but fortunately the mass meeting remedied that
omission by calling on the people to assemble in
primary meetings on Saturday next, call which,
we are satisfied, they will act under.

extensive lumber and coal yards, clothing, shoe,
dry goods, grocery and grain stores. OF the

including the various products of the farm and
dairy; two bakeries and three National Banks,
indispensable adiuncts Also in full and sue
cessful operation two Colleges for young ladies
and gentlemen, where can be acquired the ru-
diments of superior education at small cost.
One is conducted by Rev. John A. Munroe, and
the other by Mr. II. Buell.. - | will
give YOU an outline of the topography of the
town aud surroundings. It is most beautifully
located in valley, hills rising rather abrupt
ly at either end of the city, whichis two miles
long, with a population of about two thousand
and rapidly Increasing, laying at the head wa
tiers of the Patapsco and Pipe Greek, as from a
few yards either side of the street the waters
flow in opposite directions, one into the beau
tiful Patapsco, the other into the tortuous Pipe
Creek 1t contains two Methodist, one Episco-
palian, one Catholic, and in contemplation to
be built this season one Lutheran and one Ger
man Reformed Church. Now building and i'll
process of construction at least sixty or seven
ty buildings this summer This place is locat-
ed directly in a cereal producing region, much
of the land being Of superior quality, more
particularly so in the Pipe Creek, Sans Creek
and Wakefield Valleys, which are perfect gems
as seen this season of the year, dotted over
with beautiful farm houses, barns, &C., which
lends attraction to the scene. Limestone in
.inexhaustible quantities, as well as immense
beds of superior iron ore within the corporate
limits, all of which attracts capitalists and
gives employment to many laborers, the whole
giving activity to trade.
Property has rapidly increased in value since
the close of the war. Business houses and
places of the kind, as well as private dwellings
command high prices.

ne The Journal man advises US to read our
Bible. We have done SO, and in Isaiah we
find a passage telling ola period in the worlds
history when " the wolf shall dwell with the
lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the
kid, and the calf and the young lion and the
failing together, and little child shall lead
them p and when the cow and the bear shall
feed, and their young ones lie down together"
Surely this mellenial period is at hand Swami

rs The triumvirate of the Journal, the ed
itor and his two assistants, have again taken
occasion 10 make us and our paper the shaft for
their malignity and wholesale abuse. We had
hoped this war of words between the Journal and
ourselves was over we have no taste for it, and
wouldAwillingly avoid it if we could. Week af-
ter week, for three months, that paper contained
some offensive or sneering remark concerning the
Union, either from its editor or correspondents
until at last we were compelled to notice them
The Journal seemed satisfied, and desisted from
its course, and we were content to let the matter
rest where it was, even going so far as to lay
aside articles already prepared commenting upon
the Journal, and excluding the productions of
valued correspondents who had written upon the
subject. But ii seems the war is not over; that
our neighbor has only been taking breathing
spell, and his paper last week is almost entirely
devoted to u.s. Now, if there must be contro-
versy between us, we areready for it ifthe ed
itor of the Journal and his brother copperheads
desire to indulge in abuse and vtuperation either
of our paper or its editors, let them proceed
But from henceforth we are going to have say
in this matter ourselves We are tired of being
blackguarded and abused and lied upon, week
after week, and promise them hereafter as good
as they send.

The New York independent, a lradbW
Radical organ, and which The New York
Tribune says Is "tht most widely circu-
lated and generally read rcligiole-politieal
journal in America In its issue of this
week, serves the following notice on tln
American people:
''No man shall De tie hcrt President of he

We suppose asking permission Of TIC
white man is played out. The independent
makes the above proclamation because OF
its conviction, that the Radicals win sue
ceed at the approaching Congressional
elections, Was Il pot strong In that con-
viction, It would hardly have ventured to
