Again Threatening Rebellion.

We quote the following significant SEN
tence from the Clearfeld Republican,, of
July 1lth, 1857:
The Democrats will yet find it necessary to
proceed in army style and accom- pany tn cir
bers to Washington, and furnish them with seats.
Here we have the positive declaration of
the editor of the RepuJlicon that his party
'',oiU YET find 1t aecessary'' to proceed to
Washington in ''arney style, and at the
point of the bayonet furnish disfranchis-
ed rebels and defeated Copperheads with
seats in Congress.
Why this war-like declaration? Because
Congress has deferred the admission of the
members elect from Kentucky, until inquiry
as to their loyalty and the legality of their
election has been made-that body being
notified that they were rebels during the
late war That the RepuJlicdn and its
party leaders should come to the rescue of
these Rebels, is but natural Previous to
the Rebellion they melted the Rebels to
take up arms against the legally elected Ma
tional authorities, and, the Rebels obeying,
they encoura ged them in their rebellion, re-
joiced with them in their successes, lament
ed with them over their defeats, mourned
with them over their final discontinue; and
now, failing to foist themselves upon Con
sress without proper guarantees for future
good behaviour. it is but consistent that
these Northern Copperheads should advise
unlawful armed means to the accomplish
ment of their purpose
Whether such an attempt viii be made is
yet in the future, but, never-the less, the
people should bear these threateniugs of
the editor of the Republican in mind, and
be prepared for any emergency that may
arise-remembering that desperate men are
capable of undertaking almost any desper-
ate scheme to enhance their personal ends.

The DEATH OF DR. LIVINGSTON Cox
EIRMED. All doubt as 10 the fate of DR..
Livingston, the explorer, appear to have
been removed. DR.. Mcller formerly a MEM
Der of the Livingston expedition, has arriY-
ed at Capetown, an pronounceS the state
ment of his de; tn authentic. The Times OF
India, of May 23d, says hopes raised of his
safety have been dispelled, and '.there can
no longer be any doubt that he was killed
by savage of the Matte tribe" Previous
accounts as to the manner of his death are
substantially confirmed The three Maftes
were armed with bows and arrows, and
other weapons, and they Immediately COM
menced hostilities. Evidently the men must
have losed on the doctor, when. finding
matters deSrera,e he drew his revolver and
shot two of his assaiiants. But while thus
disposing of the two. the third managed to
get behind DR.. Livingston, and with one
blow from au axe Glove in his head The
wound was mortal, but the assassin quickly
met his own doom, for bullet from Moosa' S
musket passed through his body, and the
murderer fel dead beside his victim

There is no mistaking the feeling of the
people in what is called the Border States.
There are strong Republican organizations
being formed in Maryland, Kentucky and
other Border States. By men of these Or
ganizations it is strongly urged that unless
Congress establishes universal suffrage and
makes treason as odious hereafter as it was
during the war, the old slave States will be
controlled by the men who fought to destroy
the Union. The Radicals in Congress un-
derstand the subject, and as soon as that
body enters on a course of general legislation,
proper remedies will be applied to secure
the rule of the South in the hands of loyal
men.

TERRIBLE BOILER EXPLOSION AT Ian
CASTER, PA terrible catastrophe oc-
CURED at Lancaster, Pa, on Saturday morn
ing July 18th about six o clock caused by the
explosion Of a boiler at the Fulton cotton
Mill, owned by j. \. Bitner & Co. The
accident took place before the operatives
had assembled, or the loss oflife, terrible as
it is, would have been much greater. The
explosion carried a portion of the boiler,
weighing three tons, for distance of two
hundred yards, rebouuding twice from the
ground in Its passage. The boiler and en-
CINE house is a perfect wreck, though much
of the machinery can be saved The second
boilei was driven through a thick partition
wall into the mill Some of the dwellings in
the vicinity were damaged by the flying
masses of brick and iron, but none seriously.
The engineer David Hantsh, was found dead
in corner of the house The body of an
operative named Valentine Myers was sub
sequently taken out of the ruins crushed
and mangled. Superintendent Plumber was
mortally wounded, dying about twelve O.
clock from his injuries The fireman and
overseer. and seven female operatives were
severely injured-some of them it is thought
fatally The cause of the accident is not
known.

THE Reconstruction ETo.-Attorney
General Stanbery authorizes the statement
to be made that the veto prepared Tor the
reconstruction bill of last session was never
used by the President, who, after it was
given to him, sent for Judge Black, who
Was Buchanan 5 Attorney General, and who
officially notified the South that there was
no power to coerce a State, and asked him
to prepare another veto; that Judge Black
did write another veto message which was
sent into Congress, and which offended At
torney General Stanbery, 50 that it came
near leading to an open rupture with Ar.
Johnson he having spoken his mind to the
President very fatly op the subject. In the
opinion recently promulgated by Attorney
General StaDbery, he claims that he takes
the same ground as the veto he had pre-
pared on the bill.

Wrong Skinned,

The editor of the Clearfeld Republican,
in his issue of July 1lth, says
''The disunion press North, generally and the
JOURNAL in particular, have lately became very
much enamOred with the red handed rebel and
traitor Gen. Longstreet'
Not exactly that, neighbor We pub
lished Gen. Longstreet's letters, not be-
cause the journal ''taUe became enamored
more of the rebel, but because ,oe (the ed
itor, have greater aversion for the Nor
thern Copperhead. We have not now, nei-
ther had we during the war; any very pro-
found love for either, because we believed
Doth were laboring for the same end-the
dismemberment of the Union But, ifthere
is any difference between the two, the rebel
has it for he had the courage and temeri-
ty to unsheath his sword and bare his breast
to the shafts of death to accomplish his
purpose, while the other tried to obtain his
wishes through deception and misrepresen
tation, while far in the rear of all danger
and hardship. And, we opine, that the
name of the brave red handed rebel and
traitor" win be remembered long after that
of the cowardly copperhead will be forgotten

The copperhead papers of Ohio talk big
and claim to be confident of victory this
fall. A sanguine fellow of Cleveland def
antly offers to bet $500 that his party will
not be beaten at the next election by
more than fifty thousand majority. This
Democrat appears to know his crowd and
places fair estimate on the veracity of the
Copperhead newspapers.

There is peculiar audacity in Judge
Sharswood's aspirations to seat on the
Bench of the Supreme Court, particularly
as the honor is to be bestowed directly by
the votes of the people During the war
for the suppression of the rebellion, Shars-
wood was in favor of disfranchising at least
one third of those who will have votes at
the coming election. We mean the men
who fought in the Union armies. It is
barely possible that one of these veterans
will vote for Sharswood.

&" The Guardian Anget.''

Many of our readers have no doubt
been very deeply interested in this serial
story by DIR. Holmes, which has just
been completed in the Atlantic Monthly.
From lengthy (and we think JUST criti-
cism in the Congregationalist, we extract
the following:
ave protest against the license in
which DR.. Holmes indul ges himself, OF
dragging the great and good names OF the
past down into the mire of the contemp-
tuous association which he puts upon
them, by linking them with some knave
or fool. Why the Grey. Jo@ph Bet
ldu.y Stoker p How would this author
enjov it. if some Orthodox writer were
to name his william, William Ellery Chan
ming Trimmer, Or his ninny, Ezra Stiles
Dunderhead, or-to bring the thing a
point or two nearer the wind-his char
latan, Oliver W endell Holmes Quackem
We submit that there is a refined courte-
~ due to the dead, if not to the living
which should shield them from such low
assaults, even by apostates from their
doctrine"
90 We deplore the unfair
spirit of bitterness, which saturates the
whole book, against that Evangelical
faith in which DR.. Holmes was trained,
and in which his honored father sleeps.
If he pleases to be Unitarian, or a
Nationalist, or, for that matter, a Nor
mon, he has his own private right to be
such-it is between him and his Maker.
But that he should habitually caricature
that religious system, which is dear to
the vast majority of Protestants and
that the knife and saw with which he
sometimes cuts right and left among lis
living tissues, should be heated with his
own wrathiul spirit so as to burn while
they are trying to butcher-this seems TO
US an outrage in any writer, at least in
one rot profcssedly polcmic, which deser-
YES severe Reproduction, and from which
his publishers were bound to spare the
public.
A story for the Atlantic, and for the
general public, is not the proper place
for savage sectarianism, The great field
of literature for which the Guardian
Angel was written in neutral ground and
that man who abuses his welcome TO it,,
as DR.. Holmes is rerpetually doing, ne
ccsSltates at least in some minds, two
conclusions, in regard TO himself ; one,
that he is essentially underhled to that
degree that he could never be trusted not
to oiscuss ropes in the hearing OF the
family even OF Il physician who has been
hanged the other, flat lie is uneasy III
his own reliance on his new faith and
gocs through the world whis,lins against
Orthodoxy 10 keep his courage up.
