THE ELK ADVOCATE
Ninth. Inasmuch as it has been
shown that tlio restoration of the Union
was the pretended, whilst the destruc
tion of slavery was the real purposo of
ihe war, may wc not reasonably fear that
Mr, Lincoln has in store other decep.
tiooB, through which he desigDS grau.
ally to assume the powers of a Dictator 1
Therefore
Resolvid, That, in view of tho forgo
ing declarations, wc, confessing and ac
knowledging our obligations to tho laws
and institutions of our country, aud siu
corely desirous of preserving and trans,
mitting them unimpaired to posterity, do
(solemnly protest and demonstrate
against being required to contribute
another man or another dollar towards
the prosecution of the present war ; and
further, that in view of the fact that
ovortures negotiation and settlement
have been repeatedly made by the so.
called Confederate States authorities,
nnd as often rejected by Mr. Lincoln,
we insist that -a. cessation of hostilities
shall be pioposed, thus i ffording an op
portunity for tho introduction of proposi.
tions for settlement and peace.
Resolved, That it, is evident from the
policy of President Liucoln, that no set.
tloincnt of the difficulties between the
North and tho South can bo effected
whilst he occupies the Executive chair,
it becomes the solemn duty of all men
who desire the preservation of a Republi.
can form of Government, to unite their
energies to prevent his reelection.
Resolved, That evidence to prove the
tendencies of Mr. Lincoln to usurpation
is to be found in his suppression of the
public Press, in bis suspension of the
writ of habeas corpus, in the arrest, iin.
prisoumcnt aud banishment of citizens
without due process of law, in his inter,
ference in elections, nnd finally, in bis
attempt to re elect himself through his
rotten borough system of a one.tcnth
vote of tho rebel States, to accomplish
which he boldly assumes to ignore a
solemn law of tho last Congress, and
which act is characterized by Senator
Wade (both Abolitionists) as "dictato
rial usurpation" that must be reme.
died.
Resolved, That, "peace upon tho ba
sis of the Union as formed by our fath
thers, is now the heartfelt desire of every
true lover of our institutions, and all
other political objects should be made to
yield to its attainment; and we solemnly
protest against, and utteily repudiate all
dogmas at variance therewith, and da.
nounce the manifesto of Abraham Lin
coln addressed "lo whom it may con
cern," 4 as revolutionary in sentiment,
contrary to law, and subversive of the
Constitution ; and we affirm, that a ser
vant of the people who has thus placed
himself above the law, has forfeited all
claim of our confidence, respect and obe
diencc."
Resolved, That while we are ready to
obey all laws enacted in accordance with
tho Constitution, wo hold it to be the
right of freemen to disregard all edicts
aud proclamations that have no higher
claim to our observance than the des
pot's pica of "military necessity."
Resolved, That the only hope of es
cape from the evils that now afflict our
common country, and put a stop to the
daughter of husbands, fathers and sons ;
an end to heartless conscriptions, most
odious in their discriminations in favor
of the rich and against the poor ; cause
tho sacking, burning and spoliation of
cities, towns, villages, hamlets and other
property, to cease; lead to a reduction
of dybt, a diminution of taxes, and res.
toration of Constitutional curreucy ; and
finally to the re.establishment of free
dom of speech and of the press is to
be found in a speedy return to peace and
the benign influences which will, there-'
by, be brought to bear upon the minds
and hearts of the people ia all pec.
Uous.
Resolved, That the doctrine of States
Bights now so much derided by those
who seek to subvert our present system
of Government is one of tho main pil
lars upon which the fabric of Union was
erected by the fathers of the Republic ;
that the departure therefrom brought
upon us our present woe, and that a re
turn thereto would leave tho Southern
States no pretext to remain out of the
Union.
Resolved, That the course of Senator
"Wallace aud Representative Buyer,
meets our most hearty approbation, aud
deserve the appellation of 'well done,
good and faithful servants."
Resolved, That, these proceedings bo
feigned by the officers, and published in
the Clearfield Republican, Patriot J)
Union, and Philadelphia Aye.
' On motion, the vote was taken by
yeas and nays, which resulted iu one
universal shout of yeas, and when the
nays were culled, the silence was that of
the tomb; and the whole "were then
adopted with three hearty cheers.

A brilliant flank movement was made
by the 5th corps yesterday morning, and
was a complete success.
The enemy's forces had been recently
all withdrawn from this direction to send
across James River to meet and attack
the 2d and 10th corps, and only strong
pickets found guarding the road.
These retreated so rapidly that our
men thought they would not meet with
no opposition, and they went to work
very diligently to destroy tho track, but
when they had about a mile torn up, a
heavy force advanced in line of battle up
the railroad with supporting coluniu on
either side.
They charged gallantly, but met with
vetcraus of the 2d division, under Gen.
Ayrcs, and after an engagement of half
an hour, fell back in confusion.
After a short time they formed into
line, and made another attempt to drive
back the division, but were repulsed the
2d time with severe loss.
Just before dark they made another
effort to break through our line, and this
time received worso punishment than
before, as they were driven back nearly
half a mile, leaving their dead and woun.

Their loss is estimated at 1,000

B,A portion of our citizens, through
the kindness of Mr. Weis, received an
invitation to attend a "Pic-Nic," to
come off about midway between this
place and St Mary's, (near tho line o
the Philadelphia and Erie R. R.) on
Thursday the 25th inst. Timely notice
not being given at this place, but few of
our citizens were present. Wo under
stand that quite a numberof the citizens
of St. Mary's were present, and enjoyed
themselves in the very best manner.
The only thing to mar the pleasure of
the day, was a heavy shower of rain
about 3 o'clock, which seemed to cast a
gloom over the whole affair. We ex
pected to be furnished with a statement
of the doings of the day, but up to this
timo have reoeived nothing, consequent
ly we are only able to state, that a pic
nic was held.

absence ot several days, returned to our

however, as he left. While abseut, he
had the misfortune to let his team get
the start of him, when on his return
home from Brookvillo, by way of Rich

Fatal Railroad Accident
A man apparently absut 50 yearofage
was killed at this place on Tucsda'y morn
ing last, by being run over by a down
freight train. The accident occured at
a point of tho road below ilia gas works,
and about one third of a mile from the
passenger depot, in the endcavoursof tho
deceased, unobserved by the attendants
of the train, to get on tho cabooso car,
He seized the railing of the caboose but
in his endeavors to gain a foothold fell
on the track, the car passing over his
body and right arm, "Not tho slightest
blame can be attached to those connec.
ted with the train, nor can all tho precau.
tion of a railroad company prevent acci.
dents resulting from the folly of persona
attempting to get on a train under speed.
The deceased, we learn, has been
indentified as Mr. James Lindey, of

Railroad Collision. A collision
occured on the Pennsylvania and Erie
Railroad at Montoursville Station on the
morning of the 16th inst. As near as
we can learn the facts are as follows.
The Express train west was an hour and
a half behind time, and had orders to
pass the down Mail train at Montours
ville Station. While the Express train
was backing out the siding, the Mail
train going at full speed ran into it. Both
engines were disabled and several cars
badly mashed. Some half a dozen pas
sengers were seriously injured. Among
the number was E. P. McCormick of

At one time there was great danger of
the fire extending to the Railroad buil.

Terrible Boiler Explosion
Three men Killed. On Thuisday morn
ing last n engine boiler belonging to a
lriaDle saw mill, owned by Pond & Co.,
of Spring township, but located at the
timo of the explosion near Crossingville,
exploded with ternblo force, killing La
fayette Wyeth, Jeremiah Waters, and
Ezra Thayer, aud woundidg Isme Pood,
Jr., one of the proprietors, aud S. West,
a hand employed about the mill. The
mill had not been in opcratiou tho pre
vious day, two of tho persons killed hav
ing been absent at a funeral of a hand
formely employed in the mill. The en
gine had just been started in tho morn
ing when the explosion took place result,
ing as above stated. The engineer,
Thayer, was thrown a distanoo of twenty.
two roas, by actual measurement, and
was literally blown to pieces, parts of his
body being found in over a dozen differ,
ent places, completely naked, and pre.
senting a horrible spectacle. Waters
was not carried quite so great a distance,
but was nearly dismembered, one arm
and leg being torn off and his bod v other,
wise horrily mutillated. Wyeth was in.
jurcd in the back of the head, making a
terrible wound from which the brain
oozed out. He lived a few moments afti y
the explosion. Issao Pond, Jr., was
struck in the bip but is able to be up
and around. S. West, hurt in head, but
not severe. The force of the explosion
was tremendous ; pieces of tho boiler
weighing from 400 to 800 pounds being
thrown from twenty to thirty rods, and
nothiug remains on the site of the mill
except a mass of ruius. The killed, we
believe, were all residents of Spring
township. Taken all in all it is the most
terrible accident that has occured in our
county for many years. -ConneautviUt
