their arrearages. We hope this appeal will
not be in vain.
J CIVIL WAR.
The so-called "peace policy" of the Lincoln
Administration has all at once been turned info
one of blood and horror. As the white and
placid moon when storms are gathering in the
firmament, sometimes changes her wonted pal
lor to a lurid red, so the fickle "powers that
be," have suddenly yielded up their prolessed
desire lor peace and are now engaged in the
wicked and desperate attempt to precipitate up
on the country a conflict, unnatural and unne
cessary, brutal and horrible, and calculated to
bring destruction, famine and desolation to the
hearlh-etone of every American family. It is
r.ow almost certain that the pretence of peace
on tfie part of Lincoln, was a mere ruse to gain
time for preparation for war ; to lull the sece
ded states ir.to security, and bring about the ad
journment of the Conventions in the Border
Slave Slates without any definite result. This
hypocritic policy, Mr. Lincoln, doubtless, im
agined, would not be discovered by the Sou
thern people until too late to resist its consum
mation. How sadh', how lamentably he has
erred, he will learn when Maryland, Virginia
and the remainder of those slave stales which
have so firmly and nobly stood by the Union,
shall have joined hands and shouldered mus
kets with their brothers ol the Southern Con
federacy. Too late will he then discover that
a bold and straight-forward course, an open and
unconcealed front, eveu though it had been
warlike, would have been far better for
broken and detracted nation over whose desti
nies he presides. Too late also, may he rec
ognize the fact that the adoption by his Admin
istration of some one of the numerous plan 3
suggested lor a pacific adjustment of the Sou
thern difficulties, would have been ineffably
preferable to the barbarous wager of battle to
which he has chosen lo resort. When he shall
behold his country lorn and bleeding, the prey
of civil teuds excited and precipitated bv his
own immediate agency ; when the cruel fe
rocity of the liberated slave shall bring fire and
rapine to the homes of the North, as weil as to
the plantations ol the South ; when this lovely
land, ere while an Eden of love and peace, shall
havtfbeen turned into a very hell of hate and
strife , Mr. Lincoln and bis partizansmay learn
pray that the curse placed upon their polit
ical sins may be removed. Perhaps, says one,
civil war will not bring all this. Fiiend, it has
never brought {less. Do you rempmber Greece ?
Rome ? York and Lancaster ? Thte French
Revolution ? Do yon remember the disasters
that resulted to mother England when she at
tempted to coerce our lathers, her children ?
Rut how much better would it have been if
Mr. Lincoln hafl made the Crittenden Compro
mise, or even the Peace Conference Plan, a
, measure of his Administration. The Slavery
question would have been settled. No civil
strife would have ensued. The adoption of the
Crittenden plan, would have brought back into
the Union all ol the seceded States, for their
President, Jefferson Davis, their Vice Presi
dent, Mr. Stephens, and even Mr. Toombs,
expressed themselves satisfied with that meas
ure il acceded to by (he "Republicans."—
When this sectional conflict shall rage, when
the Northern man shall be called upon to bathe
his fraternal sword in his own blood flowing
?n th a veins of his Southern brother, let it be
remembered that this unjust and unholy war
could have been avoided, but that Mr. Lincoln
and his Cabinet peremptorily refused to make
any compromise with the Southern people,
stolidly insisting upon construing the Constitu
tion as they please, no matter how the Supreme
Court, the proper anil only tribunal erected
for the decision of' Constitutional questions,
may expound it.
WORE REPUBLICAN ECONOMY.
The People to pay the Piper !
Those particularly honest and scrupulously
economical gentlemen, the politicians of the
Disunion Black Republican party, are begin
ning to exhibit some sjiecimens ol their speciali
ty in saving the dear people from corrupt and
burdensome legislation. After their howls of
disapprobation at the conduct of Democratic
officials, it was hardly to be expected that they
themselves would be guilty of such profligacy
as the following :
IN THE STATE SENATE, APRIL 21, 1851.
Mr. BOUND, Rep., read in place an act to
pay the expenses of the reception and entertain
ment of the President
Mr. BOUND moved that the Senate proceed
to the consideration of the above bill.
The first and only section was read. It
authorizes the State Treasurer to pay the sum
of $2,115 expenses incurred.
The items of the total were called for, and
given by Mr. BOUND, as follows :
Colder, horse hire $178.00
Continental Hotel refreshments 97.50
Coverly, (Jcnes House) 640.00
Committee, each, SIOO 2,200.00
2,115.50
Here we have the cost of the visit of Abra
ham Lincoln to Harrisburg, involving an ex
panse ol $2,115.50, an outlay unnecessarily
and extravagantly large, entailed ufn the
over-burdened shoulders ol the taxpayers ot
Pennsylvania. Mr. Lincoln spent just about j
twelve hours in Harrisburg. and yet his hotel !
bill is $64-0.00, and the Committee appointed
by the Legislature to wait upon him are to be
paid at the rate of SIOO each! This is
"Honest Old Abe" for you with a vengeance !
When did Mr. Buchanan ever ask his fellow
citizens to pay his expenses when on a visit o
any of the States of the Union? Never!
He was a plain, Democratic citizen, paid his
own hotel bills, and never attempted to play
the lion at the expense ot his fellow citizens.
THE GLORIOUS REACTION.
THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT' j
"OLD ABE" HEARS DISTANT THUNDER !
We give below a few extracts of telegraph
ic lightning which have recently given Oid
Abe and his Administration a peculiar pain in
the region of the fifth rib. There are more of
the same sort in the political atmosphere. It
the Southern folks will give us a little more
time, we will rid the North of the pestilerous
party that has arrayed the two sections in an
attitude of hostility. The States Rights De
mocracy, the Constitutional Union men of the
country, are determined to uproot and extermi
nate everv seed and off-shoot of sectional <a
na'icism. As witness the following brilliant
and significant victories:
THE RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.
Defeat of the Republicans—Re-election of
Governor Sprague—Loss of two Republi
can Congressmen.
PROVIDENCE, R. 1., April 3, midnight.—The
State election was held to-day, with the fol
lowing result :
The Republican ticket, headed by James Y.
Smith, for Governor, is defeated.
Governor Sprague, the Demociatic Union
candidate, is re-elected by a large majority.—
The Legislature is of the same political char
acter.
The Democratic Union candidates for Con
gress, William P. Sheffield from the Eastern,
and George H. Brown, from the Western Dis
tricts, are elected over the late Republican mem
bers, Messrs. Robinson and Brayton.
CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
The Democrats elect two of the four Con
gressmen in this State, being a clear gain. The
Republicans elect their Governor by about
1500 maj., being a Republican loss from last
fall ol nearly 9000.
CLEVELAND MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
CLEVELAND, April 2.—The City election
yesterday resulted in the choice of Edward S.
Flint, Democrat, as Mayor. The entire Dem
ocratic ticket is probably elected.
MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
ATTICA, April 3.—At the village election,
field at Rome, N. Y., yesterday, the Democrats
elected all the village officers and two-thirds of
the Ward officers. The majorities average
350. George Barnard is chosen President.
ST. LOUIS MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
ST. LOUIS, April 2.—ln the municioal elec
tion yesterday the Anti-Republican ticket was
elected by from 2,000 to 3,000 majority. Th
"Unconditional Party" ticket, having Mr.
Howe for its candidate <ot#Mayor, was success
ful in only two wards.
CLEVELAND, 0., April 2.—The municipal
election at Sandusky yesterday, resulted in the
election ol the Democratic candidate for Mayor,
by 155 majority. The Democratic candidates
lor Treasurer and Solicitor, were elected ; also
two Republicans and three Democrats as C'oun
cilmen.
CINCINNATI, April 2—Full returns of the
city election yesterday show a Democratic
Union average majority of 2,800.
BROOKLYN ELECTION.
BROOKLYN, N. Y., April 6ih.—The Demo
crats have carried this city by fi oin -1000 to
6000 majority.
The Great Reaction.
One of the most striking evidences of the
change that has taken place in public sentiment
at the North in regard to the continued agila
i tion of the subject of slavery, is found in the
recent action of the Philadelphia Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, on a re
port from the Committee on the State of the
Chuicft, recommending to the General Con
ference to repeal the Chapter on Slavery, and
declaring a division of thejConference by State
lines inexpedient at this time. The" report in
cluded the two following resolutions :
Resolved, That we concur in the resolutions
of the East Baltimore Conference, requesting
the General Conference, at its next session, to
repeal the Chapter on Slavery ;. and instead
thereof, empowereach annual Conference,with
in whose bounds the institution exists, to make
such regulations upon this subject as in their
judgment may best subserve the interest of the
Redeemer's Kingdom among them.
Resolved, In view of our present national
difficulties and embarrassments, and the con
sequent dis'urbed condition of the public mind
on the one hand, and the conflicting opinions
ol our churches in Delaware and Maryland on
this subject, we deem it inexpedient to divide
the Philadelphia Conference by the State lines
at this time. But we recommend all the
Quarterly Conferences of the Peninsula, du
ring the coming year, to consider this matter,
and give such expression of their working as
may aid in determining the action of this body
at its next annual session.
The resolution in favor of the repeal of the
Slavery Chapter, was adopted by a vote of 174.
yeas to 35 nays ; the second resolution by a vote
of 143 yeas to 31 nays ; a call for the previous
question on the adoption of the report as a
whole was then sustained by the decisive vote
of 181 yeas to 5 nays—showing'the determina
tion of the Conference not to allow the once
exciting question to provoke a debate—and it
was finally adopted by general assent.—Read

.... We are informed that the nominal editor j
ol the Inquirer, lias been appointed to a second j
class cleikship at Washington, under Simon
Cameron. We have often wondered how any
man, or any half a man, could swallow the
filth the aforesaid editor uttered against Came
ron in 1855. We see it alt now. The pro
mise of a little office, was the salad that made
the "Buzzard Feast" palatable.
... .Mr. G. W. WEIDEL, the newly appoin
ted Steward of the Poor House, has been in
stalled, and is now in the active discharge of
the duties pertaining to his otfice. The crow
ded state of our columns precluded us Irom
making a notice of a very pleasant day spent
at the Poor House on the occasion of the last
monthly meeting of the Directors. Suffice it,
at this late day, to say, that we found every
thing in excellent order, the public properly
well taken care of and the paupers comlorlably
clothed and properly fed and attended. Messrs.
Amos and Keinery wpre in attendance, perfu
ming their duties as Directors with great care
and fidelity. The dinner prepared on the
\ occasion, by the family of the Steward, afior
| ded to our mind ample evidence that the Poor
House will surely have an excellent house wfe

' good wishes ol many friends, having discharged

. . . .The difference between Black Republi
can Unionism and that ol Democrats and Con
servatives, is this : Tlie'Republicans are in fa
vor of compelling the Southern people to stay
in the Union and submit to the working of the
Government under the Black Republican con
struction of the Constitution. On the other
hand, the true Union men are in favor of ma
king the Constitution, as expounded by the
tribunal established for that purpose by the
Constitution itself, the bond of Union between
the North and the South. This is the whole
difference. Is it hard to decide which is right ?
.... We understand that tbe Messrs. Baer,
of Somerset, are making preparations to bore for
oil in Hermon's Bottom, in tbe Western part
of Ihis county. It is said that the "surface in
dications" are excellent, and those skilled in
oil-ology assure us that the geological forma
tion in that region is similar to that of the great
oil regions in the western part of this State.—
One thing is certain, if the oleaginous fluid ex
ists in Hermon's Bottom, those Baers are bound
to scratch it out.

Wanted—A Policy.
The New York Times , one of the most for
midabie organs of the Republican party, opens
its guns upon the Lincoln Administration with
deadly effect. With every disposition to fur
nish support, it is compelled to administer cen
sure. An extract will serve to show the opin
ion entertained by many of Mr. Lincoln's party
friends ot the conduct of his Adrmnistration :
It is idle to conceal the tact that the Admin
istration thus far has not met public expecta
lion. The country feels no more assurance as j
to the future—knows nothing more of the pro
bable results of.the secession movement—than j
it did on the day Mr. Buchanan left Washing
ton. It seeins no indications of an Administra
tive policy adequate to the emergency—or,
indeed, of any policy beyond that of listless
waiting to see what may "turn up." * *
The fact is, our government has done abso
lutely nothing towards carrying the country
through the tremendous crisis which is so
rapidly and so steadily settling down upon us.
It allows everything to drift— to float along
without guidance or impulse of any kind.—
This might do well enough, if the Southern
States were pursuing the same policy. But
while we are idle, tfiey are active. While we
leave everything at loose ends they make
everything tight and and snug lorj the coming
storm
'NEWS FROM WASHINGTON CITY.'
We mike the following extracts from tele- |
| graphic despatches received by the Philadel-
I phia Inquirer of a late date :
ANXIETY AND PREPARATION.
There is an uneasy and anxious feeling man
ifested by everybody who comes within imme
diate range of the Government, that indicates
that the comparative calm existing for the last
month is about being broken up by storms.—
The Departments ol War and the Navy are a
live with the proceedings necessarily antece
dent to great undertakings by sea or by land.
Ihe Cabinet preserve a piofound and ominous
silence, but hold frequent and long sessions, in
which it is certain that tlie Southern complica
tions occupy more of their time than the wran
glings of office-seekers, 'to the great disgust of
the latter.
OFF FOR THE WARS.
Some of the officers who have just returned
liom Texas to New York, and who expected
soon to join their families here, have telegraph
ed that they sail to day for unknown service.
EXTRA SESSION.
Ihe New Yorkers are gaining ground in
their deman d foi an extra session, as they say
: nothing about the tariff, but urge warlike prep
arations, which will require the authorization
■ of Congress.
The President has asked the opinion of sev
eral Senators here, in writing, on the necessity
for calling an extra session.
VIRGINIA APPEALS TO LINCOLN.
Senator Chandler and Colonel Segar, mem
: bers of the Virginia Convention, with John Mi
j nor Bolts, are here from Richmond, and are
j having an inter view with Mr. Lincoln urging
t 1 peace and depiecating activity in the War De
i par'ment.
' | FORT PICKENS.
General Scott is of the opinion that Fort
Pickens cannot stand a continuous siege if the
j Secessionists continue to throw up batteries,
j encircling it and commanding all approaches,
■ai ha< been done at Charleston. It Pickens is
-:to be maintained, a force must be hmded on
- shore to silence the batteries.
. SOUTHERN COMMISSIONERS INDIG
NANT.
The Southern Comn issioners now in Wash
ington . are indignant. The first intimatiou
which they rrc*ived of the warlike policy of
r j the Administration, was given to-day.
READY FOR WAR.
; j The Commissioners immediately telegraphed
? to Jefferson Davis "to prepare for war." The
answer which they received was, "VVe are all
. ready, let it come
, APPOINTMENT OF AN ALLEGED SE
CESSIONIST.
' : Great excitement exists in consequence of
r ; the rumored appointment, by Secretary Bates,
l ;of E C. Carrington to the office of Distuct
. Attorney of the District of Columbia. He is a
| nephew of ex-Secretary Floyd, and reputed to
i be a Secessionist.
It is rumored that the Ohio delegation pre
fer the appointment of Mr. Gholson to the Su
preme Bench.
CABINET TROUBLES.
Messengers are continually passing to ami
ho between the offices ot the members of the
Cabinet. There is trouble in the wind!
i AFFAIRS begjn to have a warlike aspect. —
The Administration has determined to re-in
lorce Fort Pickens at all hazards, and troops
being concentrated at New York preparato
ry to a descent upon the South. The Soutb
i ern Government is also preparing lor the con
j fiicl, having collected an artny of at least four
I housand men at Pensacola, which i; being daily
■ augmented, to repel any assault that may be
: made, or, possibly, to attack the fort in case
jan attempt is made to re-inforce it. Charles
ton was thrown into a great state ot excite
| ment on Thursday by the appearance of a
schooner off"the harbor, and her attempt to
pass the batteries. Sfie was fired into and
turned about and disappeared. It is supposed
that she contained reinforcements for Foil
Sumpter.
While the Admmislration hesitate concern
ing the evacuation of Sumpter, the Charlesto
) nians are becoming impatient, and rumors were
I current that an attack would be made upon it
frcm the fortifications in case the troops were
not withdrawn. The suspicion begins to pre
vail that the Administration have delayed the
evacuation for the purpose of inciting the South
ern Government to make an attack upon the
fort, and thus to throw upon it the responsibili
ty of commencing a war which the Lincoln
Administration has determined upon.— Patriot

HEAL THE SICK. — Diseases of the Bowels
and Stomach are always caused bv lirge de
posits of hurtful matter, left by impure blood
in those important organs, and the poisonous
material in this vinated blood, acting on the
system, makes it too weak to throw ofF this
matter by the natural channels, or if any is
carried off it is a very small 'portion. So arise
diarrhoea and dysentery, colic, costiveiiess, bad
breath, indigestion, nausea, loss ol appetite,
belching of wind ol stomach, etc. To cure
all these "the blood is the life," and must be
perfectly pure and clean, then you cannot be
sick. A short use of JUDSON'S MOUN
