TR T UNDER WHICH KINO I —The Abolition
organ up street ha? been in the habit of prais
ing both Wade and Cameron in the most un
qualified terms. Mr. Wade i? the bitter enemy
ol all compromises. On the other hand, Gen.
Cameron is in favor of the Crittenden compro
mise, Senator Biglers proposition,or any other
similar mode of settling the present difficulties.
Does it approve the course of Wade, or of
Cameron ? "Under which king, Benzouian
STAND STILL. AND SEE THE SAL
VATION OF THE LORD.-Lovejoy.
The abovp, says the Philadelphia .Irqus, was
the exclamation of a rampant AbolitionisL nj
the House of Representatives, a few days since,
which was received with bursts of laughter,
even by his own adherents.
The Republican party, by its aggressions up
on Southern rights and Southern institutions;
by its legislative action in every State, where
u had the power, nullifying the laws of Con
gress ; by its John Brown raids, the legitimate
results of the teachings of its leaders ; and final
ly, by its election of a sectional President upon
a sectional issue, has brought upon the country
financial, commercial and manufacturing ruin
and disttess, has broken the band 3 that hold us
together as one people, and has caused the Sep
aration of seven sovereign States fioro (lie U
ninn. And now, these" men, after having re
jected the teachings of our fathers, the {.lain
provisions cf the Constitution, adopted by our
fathers, the Bible of cur fathers, and the God of
our fathers ; and having set upon their stead Ab
olition teachers, a Chicago Abolition Constitu
tion, an Abolition Bible, and an Abolition God,
standing amidst the crumbling ruins of a
broken natron and a divided Confederacy,
and refusing to retrace a single false st.p,
or to put iorlh a hand to slay the misery
and distress brought upon the people, or to
arrest the ruinous course ot things, fold their
arm?, and with the madness and fanatici-tn that
tias characterized the whole course of ttieir par
ty, ask the representatives in Congress to "stand
still and see the salvation of the [Abolition]
Lord."
The Republican party now stands before the
countiy as unqualified, from its President elect
down to its meanest member, to grapple with
the great issues upon wlnch the salvation of the
nation depends. They are utterly incompe
tent for good, and powerful for evil only, and
that continually.
The hope for the settlement of our difficulties
does not rest m this minority partv, which fas
already given us such revolting and terrible ev
idence ol "the triumphs of Republicanism thus
far," but in the coneervaDsm ol the Union mas
ses of the nation.
Let the proposition of Gov. Bigler before the
Senate, or the Crittenden resolutions, be adop
ted, and give the people, the source of all right
ful power, an opportunity to vote thereon, and
rtie whole matter will speedily be settled, and
peace, piosperity, and happiness be restored to
the country.
When this consociation, so devoutly to he
wished, is had, then we can "stand stiil and see
thr salvation ol the Lord," who, in his wrath,
will grind this Abolition party to jiowder
Then will be realized the idea of the poet
"Tt.e widows of Ashur are lout! in their wail,
And the Idols are broke in tt.e temple of Baal,
And the of The Grntife,unstnote by the sword,
Math melted like srow in r£e & ai.ee of the I.ord.'
. -THE TRIBUNE ON CAMERON —The New York
Tribune is positively savage and comes down
hardmn Senator Cameron, because he announ
ced, in behalf of the Republicans, that they
would vote for the Crittenden comprun sse as I
amended by Senator Bigler The Ttidunews, j
of "to huirvlhate the North," j
"it 19 the most detestable, the mud cowardly, !
and the most irregular." This Abolition print
will soon have its hands full of work in read
ing out from its party.

The minutes of the last meeting were then
read and approved. The question lor discus
sion, "Resolved, i iiat three thousand dollars is
worth more to a man of twenty one
tears than English Education," was then
read by the Secretary,and an animated discus
si jn ensued between Messrs. A. Growden, C.
M. McLaughlin, J. Simons and J. RJcLellan,
on the aflirmative, and Messrs. T. Fisher, H.
and A. Smith, on the negative. The question
was decided by the iioiioraßle President, Mr.
Joo. A. Gump, in the affirmative. The speech
es were highly entertaining and instructive.—
A resolution was men utlered requesting the
publishers of the County papers to publish the
proceedings bl the meeting, ordering the Cor
responding Secretary to prepare a copy of the
same, and was adopted. Questions were I lien
proposed to'be discus-ed at the next meeting.
On morion the question was adopted for discus

due Air. Jno. A. Gump, and otlws iu their in
defatigable efli.rU to establish the society on a
firm footing. The society feels an honest zeal
to see the spread ol improvement in its .com
munity, until ils purifying and elevating influ

a complete success. It cannot fail to have a

!AN OUTRAGEOUS PROCEEDING—I REE
I SPEECH CHOKED DOWN—A PUBLIC
MEETING IN PITTSBURGH PREVEN
TED FROM EXPRESSING MS SENFL
; MENTS IN FAVOR OF THE UNION
I THE LIGHTS FIT OUT.
; Our city was disgraced on Saturdav right bv
a pieconcerted, and we regret to say, success
. ful movement, ro preven/ a portion of our citi
i zens from freely, expressing their opinions in
! favor of the Union. The spirit of injustice to
j our sister States of the South, which has caused
the Government to tremble to its very founda
! tion,and which is fatality bent upon destro\ ing
it, on Saturday night exhibited itself in our city
! in preventing a public meeting oy little rhort
j of mob law.
Pursuant to the following call, a large num
i ber of our citizens assembled at the City Hail,
on Saturdav night :
! (TP-GRAND t;NiON MASS MEETING !—Till.
CITIZENSOF PITTSBURGH and vicintty, without
j distinction of party, who appreciate tbe inestin.a
--i ble value of the UNION, comprehend the dangess
which threaten its existence, and who believe that
I tbe restoration of the Missoun Compromise oro
j poed by the Honorable J. J. Crittenden, as a con
stitutional amendment, would effectually settle the
i great cause of oonter.tion now existing between
| them are requested to meet at the CITY HALL on
; SATURDAY EVENING NEXT. AT 7 oc. -k.
: For two or three days this tall appeared in
' the public papers of 0..r city, both Democratic
; and Republican, signed bv seteral hundred of
| citizens of all parties and all classes.
: Immediately upon its appearance the Repub
lican papers began to warn the people against
j any Compromises or concessions, and the Jour-
I ual especially on Saturday morning, had seve
! rzl articles of the most ultra Abolition and an
ti-Union character, pronouncing the Crittenden
Compromise to be identical with the Breckin
ridge platform, and warning its abolition co
horts to staod firm in their position.
I On Friday it was evident to those who are
' accustomed to watch popular movements, ihal
the leaders ol Black Republicanism were or
' ganiziog a plan to defeat the object of the con
; servative citizens who had called the meeting.
,On Saturday morning, in the Dispatch, ap
peared the following advertisement, infilself al
most a direct invitation to resort to mob Jaw :
| K7-RAI-LY, UNION AND WORK ING MEN, TO
; THE MASS MEETING THIS EVENING IN CITY
j HALL,express your opinion in favor of the Con
j stitution and tne Union as it is, and frown down all
I attempts at dictation by Southern Politicians
j UNION AS IT IS,
It was perfectly evident that the mad advo
jcatesol the "irrepressible conflict" had de
| termined to prevv; t the meeting, and to choke
I down free speech at all hazards. letters were
I written in advance, stating that this would !.■
| done,and rurnots were current that the IVid
; Awake organization would be present and take
chaige of the meeting.
At the appotiV' .'. § tiour a large number of
tfioke who were invited under th- call to be
j piesent, went to Ci?y Hall at.d a'tempted to
organize the meeting, when a scene td tii- most
disgraceful disorder and confusion earned. It
had evidently been intended to prevent an en
dorsement of any compromise by force of num
bers ; b.it rowdyism defeated ils own ends, and
yeiL and shout* took the place of order and
reason.
The scheme of "the irrepressibles" |>arl l.ei o
j .veil laid out, and the attempt to prevent huw
; ' r eds of peaceful citizens of I'itisbuag fr'.u. a
tairand hone.-- expression of their luv.- foi the
Union was effectually earned out. Those who
had paid for the Hall were not p'eirr.iUed to
use it, and a Union mass meet.ng ot the citizens ii
of Pittsburg was < fl.-cliial'v 'mushed out by the j
cohorts of Black Republicanism. The \V'i je j
Awake rabble with good cloths* ami bad I
clothes was triumphant.
Are f. Republicans of Pittsburg willing to '
accept this proceedure as the true exponent of
Republicanism in Pittsburg ' Are they will
ing to take the responsibility of saving, "Free
speech shall not be permitted in our uty, ami
citi/.ens snail not peaceably assemble to soy how
and in what manner the Union may be pre
served.' Has rampant abolitionism become so
black in Pittsburg tnat the Mayor ot our city
is justified in proclaiming that the "lights shall
be pul out" upon a meeting ol our citizens?
Tins was no partizan meeting. The call
was signed by citizens ot all parties, and the
nuj oily nl ttieni wore intelligent and conserva
tive Republicans.
SOUTHERN MOVEMENTS.— ftE Governor of
Mississippi assigns as a reason why he establish
ed a battery at Vicksburg, to overhaul alt stea
mers going down the Mississippi tliat he had
reason to beliece an expedition would be sent
down the river to reinforce the garrisons u! the
lons and arsenals, and lie therefore ordered the
volunteer artillery companies of Jackson and
Vicksburg to take such a jiosiiiun as would pre
vent any hostile expeditions lrom Noitheru
States lrom descending the river. The forces
were withdrawn as soon as lie heard that lhe
State of Louisiana had fully garrisoned the forts
and arsenals. This clliciai explanation is cool
ly given by the Governor in a special mess
age.
lhe North Carolina Legislature is constder
ing propositions to send Commissioners to

It is rumored from Washington that tl\e gov

Sunn er, in Charleston harbor, and Fart Pick

confirmed by the departure of the steam sloon
of-war Brooklyn, from Norfolk,on Thursday
bound South, with sealed orders, having on
board two companies ol soldiers from Fort Mon
roe. The preparations ol the government have
been quietly made, and tfcet> j s reason to be
lieve the expedition will prove successful.
There was aneport *cutjvnt,in Washington
yesterday that the Grand Jury of the Di>lrict

A telegraphic correspondence has passed be

Wood, relative to the recent seizure of arms in
New 1 ork city. Mr. Toombs inquired if it was
true that the arms had been seized bv the pub
lic authorities. Tl.e Mayor responded that the
arms had been seized by the police, but that
the city of New Fork should jri no\vav be l.eld
responsible for the outrage. He fortherinoie
states that :l he had the power he would sum
marily punish the authors of tire illegal and un

A MAN KILLED BV A LION AT ASTLEY'S
1 IJEATUE. —.7 I'/irUltric p Scene. —On the 7it
iust , alltlie lions at Astley's Royal Amphithe
ater, in Loudon, and owned bv Mr. Crockett,
escaped from tbeir den. The London Time s
says :
Several men who were at work in the build
ing were startled oy toe loud roaring of the li
ons, and in a few minutes they were horror
struck at beholding one ot the lions struggling
with a man named Jarvey, a yard-helper in the
establishment. On the arrival ol Mr. Crockett
be rushed on the stage, where the lion w a run
ning about with the unfortunate manJYrvev in
his mouth, to all appearance quite dead. Mr.
Crockett instantly seized astabie fork, and dealt
the lion a heavy blow on the side ol the head
which caused it to let the man go ; but instead
of running away, he turned round, and seemed
inclined to spring U|on his master. Another
powerful b.o v, however, made the enraged an
imai tutn, aud run away. Medical aid was
imtn-diaieiy brought for poor Jarvey, but on
the arrival of the sutgeon, life was found to be
extinct. After the body of Jarvey had treen
removed Mr. Crockett went in search of the
three lions, who were now roamiog about the
theatre. (hie was seen runniog a! a temple
corner of t ne stage, another was in the arena,
and theotber could not be seen.
The licaess was the first that was attempted
to be secured, but this was a work of extreme
danger and difficulty, as the assistants were all
afraid of even approaching the beast. Ou see
ing Mr. Crockett, the lioness made a dash
tlirou„i h the pit saloon, whence she rushed up
the boxufair case and entered one of the pri
vate boxes, and took up a most threatening at
titude.
Kothijig daunted Mr. Crockett entered the
box, placed al> ather collar around her neck,
and having secured her head, she was hauled
out oft ne place by ropes, and finally placed in
security. Fiom the private box Mr. Crockett
saw another of the annimals playing on the
stage with a Quantity of ribbons and stage prop
erties , and, with comparatively little difficulty,
it was plated again in the cage—and, alter a
ew minutes search, the third was recaptured.
At half past seven yesterday morning, the
watchman of tt.e theatre, who is on duty all
night, left, at which hour, he says, ,)) was per
fectly qu'et and sate. In consequence of the
large lion being unwell, it had been parted from
its companions, and, it is supposed, that in en
deavoring to Join it, one ol the three lions in ttie
other compartment of the cage must have bro
ken down the paitilion and "thus displaced the
imn bars. The greatest excitement and con
sternation prevailed for some time in the thea
tre, aim it required Mr. Crockett's utmost per
suasion to convince the attendants that no fur
ther danger need be apprehended.

largest man in the American service. 'He is
six feet six inches tall, and weighs two hun

A MAIL CARRIER ATTACKED BY WOLVES IN

a pack of a hundred or more wolves, apparent
ly Irenzied with hunger, and with lolling
tongues, rapidly lessening the distance between
(them and the horror-stricken mail carrier.—
| Viewing his danger, with desparalion the mail

wolves gradually gained upon hint, when sud
j uenly a tree presented itself to his gladdened

finally gained the asylum ol his no pes, with
the savage beasts close upon him, and jumped

J THE EFI.TCTS OF JANUARY LIGHTNING.—
! During the thunder-shower, ol Wednesday,
! 'he 16th, the lightning-struck the house of Mrs.
Jacob I.oomis in BloomfiehJ. Over seventy
panes -,t glass were shattered by it, clapboaids
were chrown off, the plastering W3s toin from
the walls, and a picket fence, in front of the
bowse. was splintered. Two ladies sitting in
ol the rooms, upon finding the lively visi-
I .or had parsed within ten feet of them, fainted,
Dm! were n.it injured. In addition to this, the
] fluid went nilo the well, which lias since re
; tused to yield any ol the convenience
' fur which it was specially designed. So it ap
; pears that the malignity of January lightning
i equ:u3 that of the hottest months ol summer.
A Firm in Albdoy haw recently inven*
j ted anil art* now manufacturing, a pocket which
; can tie B ut " ;,t0 any garment, where valuables

The pocket is made of two thickness of (men
j .übtic, covering up a network ot vvirej so arrati

j closely fitting garment. At the top ol the pock-
Jet there is a clasp and a lock, weighing from
I two penny-weights to half an ounce, aceordic,,-

Ihe pocket is 1 ght and pliable, and should it e

.Neither the mouth of the pocket or the pocket
