ITNot ice of Disoluticn—Foilman ,t Patfcrsou . Exposition. The leader in the Young America ol last week, under the significant caption of; “Base intrigue,” is fully characteristic of its pseudo author: base, low, mean and contemptible each paragraph and sentence I contains uilllul, deliberate and malicious falsehoods, inantvactun-d for the occasion i out of whole cloth, with the design of de-i Celling the honest and ur.suspi-c'ing — Judging from the article, we predict there . cannot be found, in or out of the State,' a set of meaner, lower, more contemptible, pusillanimous, lying editors, than [ those who h ive control of that ' high toned moral paper,’’ the Young America, inclu ■ ding nil the quasi editors, from the famous Dandy Jun down to Flat Foot.— The entire article is a fabricated falsehood ‘ having no foundation whatever in truth. I But we pr >pos.e to examine, bri. fly, some I of the many falsehoods the article con- 1 tains, for the purpore of giving the author ' an opportunity to attempt to prove their i reckless charges. The article commences by falsely asserting that there is, within the county of | Adams, a “p litical clique,” that was deeply interested in the nomination of! Spencer for Auditor over his competitor, I they say: “The clique went to work in order to secure hif(S’iencer’s) nomination.’ I This is untrue in every particular; we deny positively that there is, within the county of Adams, a class of men entitled to ary such appellation, that any set of! men, by counsel or otherwise, set to work i to secure his (Spencer’s) nomination by any means whatever, and we call upon those wis aacres to give the names of those | who compose the clique, who are they? What individual member, or members, went to work? come, makegood your charges. The truth is, there was not one-fourth the exertion m id®, either by [ Spencer himself or his friends, that was used for either of the other candidates. Again, they say: “To get Billy nominated was now the all absorbing topic, they j (the cliqu--) could not rest, * * * they nt last succeeded in biting upon a plan, it was this: to get some good honest farmer of the south part of the county, as a can-1 didate for the purpose of dividing the vote for Mr. Smith.” Now every man of or- | dinary capacity well knows that the Auditorship was not the ‘all absorbing topic,’ it was merely secondary; and when the Young America asserts that the clique, as they term it, Spencer or any of his friends, i or any person through the agency of Spencer or Ins triends, devised a plan in order to divide the vote in the south p-irt of the coun'y between Mr Smith and Mr Gillespie. they assert, and give publicity to a wililul lie from wl ich they cannot *-x---trie tie themselves, and we challenge them for the proof. The truth is: Gillespie received but 105 votes in th c uuty, of which 110 was received in the north part and 55 in the south part; besides, Mr Gillespie had the same right to announce ' is name as M«-f\rs. Smith, B illman and S, cer/ and wh -n a candidate he had lite rifiht to use all iiunombk means to «e---cur_ Lis nomination. Ag ,v: “Tbev (the clique) t-. :.. h n>* —they ransacked . r -i -le— ey at last though-, of ; i Gt ’ ® good and honest farmer, * * 3 tteted him. they coax.d . : .e s il - KMt 4ncouragiiig Scully i--. :tic-d him o announce his r. ..t - ” A; Un -re we corny.lleo to pror-■ Jje above a ,] -de lil, and n-k iho-. :.-r. vrable editors of that “higli r,ed eno. al p-s' r” U name- the agent suit cut b t ie ci qwho visited, co rxed and Xi ■* Uc. 14 2*l r ■ 0»11c.-tp; t isl t Utt K* a U lic*T IB* who arc they?

we know, ns does many o'hers, that the accti-ni iis false, for Mr Gillespie haw repeatedly refuted the false charge, and said he was only induced to become a candidate by I.is neighbors, and the vote show this to be true; but Mr Gillespie’s Statement would not satisfy those editor’s inordinate desire for prevaricating, hence they recklessly and maliciously publish to, the country that which they well knew to be without the least shadow of truth.— Again, they have the boldness to assert: , . 'The agents told him (Gillespie) he should I [ have ths support of the leaders of the j ' party at Decatur.” Now a baser, lower, 1 meaner lie was never invented by man, I i and it should make the vile authors trem- ; I 1 b!“reflect upon the oroduetion of j their own corrupt minds.—perhaps they may again dee-re to get out of it as they have heretofore done, bv asserting that they were misinformed; but. ignorance is no excuse—no man it justifiable in publishing to the world an article upo» mere rumor ! —they should first investigate. They inti--1 mate that this imaginary bodv (the clique) is in and abou- Decatur, which make, us still more anxious to be informed who I they are; we hope their names will be given. in order that the citizens of Adams county mar know them. Again, they sav: “We have the names of these men that persuaded Mr. Gillespie to come out, and shall give them al some future time.” | Here again is another bold and unequivI oca) falsehood, they have not the names ’ — lhev dare not publish them, as being ; | the clique or Spencer’s agents, or connec- ’, i ted with any base intrigue unon Mr Gil- , . '' . i j lespie, or any other candidate. Again, , 1 they say: “If Mr Gillespie had not come i, i out as a candidate, Mr. Smith would cer- | I tainly been nominated.” Here is a false conclusion, drawn from false premises — I Again, they sav: -'lf Mr. Spencer’s agents ■ . ! had done one half for Mr. Gillespie, what j I they said they would do, he would have ( been nominated.” Now, who, but a de-;, ■ mor, could have invented such a false- ; , i hood? Spencer had no agents engaged I, in any political maneuver with Gdlespie ’ or any other candidate and Mr. Spencer ', , never dreamed of Mr Gillespie being a , candidate until he announced his name, j, neither did any mar, who was a friend of , ■Spencer, or voted fur him, ever promised to do anything for Mr. Gillespie prior to , , his announcing his nf.T.e.'-knd j I lengs them again for the proof of their' I false accusation. Again, they clap the I climax o 1 all their villiany by the following: “So the whole ‘nub’ of the thing is just here, Bill Spencer knew he must be defeated ts he could not get out another (candidate, to do this he deceived an hon- ' ♦s', farmer, and by doing so, he deceived i every man that voted for Mr. Gillespie.” Now, it will be observed by a casual ieaider, that they first charged the intrigue and deception upon the clique, then upon '.he agents of Spencer, sent out by the j clique, and lastly upon Spencer himself. Truly has it been said, “That liars should i have good memories ” In conclusion, we deny each and every charge made; ; and call upon the author to make good i each allegation, or stand convicted, before : lan honest and indignant community, of lying with the avowed object of deceiving , the honest and unsuspecting; or republish 1 the article to serve as a mirror to reflect the vileness and blackness cf the Author’s corrupt heart.

iwKii 11 n Concert. On last Saturday evening our cifizens were regaled with a mu>icsl treat, disi coursed by the Newville Brass Band, at the Cou-'t House—playing and ringing alternately. We passed a pleasant evening, as evidently did the whole assembly. The singing was in the German tongue — ' notwithstanding, we could not understand ’ it, many of the airs were familiar and performed in perfect time. As to their instrumental music, they are so well known that it is needless to say aught, for public opinion has long since awarded them ' what is better than anything we could—a just tribute to their excellence. There advent here, again suggests to us what we long since should have done, th“ organization hereof a band. We have frequently heard several of our most promi--1 n<-nt citizens signify their willingness to lend their pecuniary aid. There certainly is entep-ise enough among our you men to onriw out our cti-raesiion, and .e ■ Certainly hope they will give it heed. Waverly Novels For The Mill'on. Tiiat entt prising firm of publishers, T B Peterson dr Btothers, Philidelphia, has just begun an undertaking 1 which can- , not fail Io be beneficial to the whole com- j munitv.

Settlement ofthe Paraguay Claims—How It was Done-What next tor our Pacil- - 3i _ioc.ting fleet! We give in another column the import t.a,it intelligence of the final settlement of r our claims on Paraguay, without the £• ’ ring of a gun. President Lopez has i agreed to pay sn indemnity to the family of •'the mtn killed onboard the Water-Witch “ and to the American company, of which ' Mr. Hopkins was agent. The peaceful set'lement of this disa-, greeable affair wa? brought about in no ‘small dttgrtt© through the friendly ofheps of President Urquiza, of the Argentine Confederation, and it is his report thereof tnat has given us a knowledge of the j facts. But the chief inducement to a pa- | > cific arrangement was no doubt, the determined manner in which Mr. Buchanan set about making the reclamation. We gather from the report o f President Urquiza, and from advices we have h-reto- : tore published in regard to the matter, the following facts: Wi en President Lopez learned the formidable character of the expedition sent .againet him he became alarmed, and sent urgent ao!icit»‘.ions to all the neighboring, i powers to intervene in its behalf, ini ' <’<>n«-qtience nf this step on his part, bo'h Brazil at d M intevido determined to offer their mediation. Th s was declined by the commissioner, under his instructions from the President, and the result was that ail the neighboring goverments sent, representatives to a diplomatic congress that whs to be hell somewhere on the hanks of ths Paraguay. Bn.Lt). Montevido and the Argen'ine C'.“:!t,dera‘iotl' were represented, and the F r i-nch minister to the riverine States also proceeded to the scene. Besides this Lopez made an arrangement with President U’qu'za to come down and meet him at Corrien- j tes, in the ' rgentine Confederation, and meet the United Stat<e Commissioner there. But the movements of Commodore Shubrick were too rapid for them, and he had got b'yotid Condemns when he met the Paraguayan Commissioners who wished him to return and wait for a negotiation at that city. This he declined. as we announced some days since in our -pecial correspondence and pushed on. When President Urquiza reached Corrientes, under his arrangement with Lj- j pi z, he found how matters stood, and says in his report that he could return the confidence of President Lopez in offering to come into the territory of the confederation by proceeding at once to Paraguay So he followed the Commodore. and ids report tells the rest 01 the story. The result is <x icily what we have for ventik.ion, at another bv leaping from it to see something curious which two or 1 tlisee Indians had brought, not knowing, ias mterwards proved true, rha; we were 'very, near a village, I so 1 discovered ; noy mistake, and though I did not my self I feel there was any cause for alarm, I was . s rrv I hud been seen, on account of the .ft <-li”g . xisting in the train It was of no use to hide now, every Indian within ; a mile knew of my wb- reabouts. Though ■ i there was not a shadow of danger in sueh j a company as ours, as many of us well predicted in the columns of the Herald, ever since we began to recieve ’he bragadocia announcements of the Paraguayan press. Tiie louder the Spaniards boast the greater is their fear. Those I Black Republican journals that so rapidly abused the President for sending out the expedi’ion to Paraguay will now be forced to confess that the administration was perfectly right in adopting the course >it did. Had the milk and water morally . which they advocate been allowed to pre-'v-il, we might still have been soliciting President Lopez to do justice and receive .onlv insults >n return for our moderation. Commodore Shubrick and the big guns I behind him were the real pacificators in the case, and the result wi'l he that if the Uni'e.l States i« only decently represen-i t»d diplomatically hereafrer in those regions.

Political Cant Since the days of Jefferson the main staple, the capital in trade ol the opposition. has been a wholesale abuse ol the Democratic party. No terms of reproach could be found too extravagant to express the bitterness of their political animo-i y. Jefferson was denounced as an infi tel, a jacobin, and as imbued with all manner [of politic J corruption. Jack’on was assailed as a tyrant, as an ignoramus, and 1 a« a being incapable of administering the Government, successfully. All the leading men of the D-mocratic party have thus been stigmatized by the opposition as destitute ot patriotism and lacking personal and political integrity. But all these hsI gaults against the party, Us principles ano policy, have been as the idle wind. The peObfe have ever trusted in the sagacity of the one and toe correctness of the other by entrusting to their guidance the administration of the Government. This old game is being revived with the hope that it may if flu>-nce some weak and credulous heads in the coming Pres idential canvass. Tiie charges of corruption, detnoraliz nion, &e., will increase iu vigor and p< rtin icily as the contest draw.- ; nigh. Such have been tlie tactics the op position party have ever pursued. It is a policy which will not accomplish the purpose in view The honest masses are ever disposed to doubt the purity ot the] party which bases its claim* to popular! svmptthv on the abuse of its opponents, 1 and iis own professions of virue. This kind ol political cant does not take long to disgust. It has been tried by the opposition some sixty years, and such has b’-en its effect upon the public mind — But short-sighted politicians, influenced bv no higher imp'uises than the spoils of office, can’t learn by experience, so they travel over and over the same barren road. We notice a politician of this class in our midst, who tor year* lias been lear 1 tong without being able to-acquire wis •Join; ha* issued a prospectus fora piper, the object of which he vows ,8 to repeat the same kind of poliicnl tactics wnich have so signally failed in the past, and must ever. Notasingle affirmative principle* is avowed, n-j views ■>! goverrment al policy are suggested, but tiie only plea turged lor the emerj-rize is the sixy year' | repeated slang. ‘IO rescue the government from the most i.-orrupt and ex ravagant adminisirmion whicli lias ever < x isted in any country.’ The ex ravaganct of the charge shows the poverty ot the consideration. It proves the weakness 01 the opposition. It comes too tr-’in a party which has ever voted for and sustained all ‘coiruptand ex ravagant’ government expenditures and whose idea of public policy is based upon the theory that a public debt is a public blessing.’— the D< mocra ie party have but little h ft ar from such opposition. A negative party cannot success'ully administer the' government. Sueh • xperiments have been tried, but, they have proven splendid lai. ures. To use a homely illustration, they ha e come into power like the dazzling j rocket, and have subsided as the stick.’ — , Stale Sen Ihe Revolution iu t hili—ShockingC-ut' rages.
