To Our Subscribers,
This mrmber of the Watchman completes
one year since the change was made in its
editorial department, from Seely & Barn-
hart, to that of Alexander & Meck. It has
been an eventful year, pregnant with the
most startling occurrences that have ever
found a place upon the pages of history.—
Civil war has raged within our borders with
the most relentless fury, Millions of treas
ure have been expended, thousands of lives
have been freely given up in our efforts to
maintain the government, avd after all the
rebellion is nearly as strong as 1t was one
year ago. ‘The progpect for the coming
year is, if anything, more gloomy than was
the last.
Through all the time that has passed since
‘we assumed the control of this paper, we
‘have endeavored to give the news of trans.
:piting events as faithfully as we could. In
the editorial department we have endeavor.
ed, as far as we understood them, to advo-
«cate the true principles upsn which our gov-
ernment is founded, a close adherence to
which by the ralers of this nation, affords
‘the only prospect of salvation for this gova
ernment. For doing this, we have been ag.
#siled by the pressof this county, and de
nounced as traitors- -sympathisers with the
Southern rebellion, &e.
_ A pack of abolition blood hounds were put
upon our tratlto hunt us down. Yet, in
the language of the illustrious Webster, we
can say, ‘that we ain’t dead yet,'’ nor have
wo been convicted of treason, nor don’t ex-
pect to be. On the contrary, our accusers
have justly merited the contempt of all
good and sensible men, who love their coun.
try far better than the negro, and we have
been vindicated in our course by the votes
of three thousand of the citizens of this
county.
Now, after having passed through all
this, and believing chat the laborer is worthy
of his hire, we would modestly suggest to
all those who know themselves indebted to
us on subscription, to pay up at once. We
intend hereafter to give you a better and a
much larger paper, and to this end we need
money.
This week we only give you a half sheet,
for the reason that we have not sufficient pa-
per of the old size to give you a full sheet ;
and further because we are making some
changes in our office preparatory to the en-
largement of our paper. After this we will
not be compelled to send you a half sheet.
Waite vs. Brack.—Abolitionists and
sickly sentimentalists may pass by their
own color, and reserve all their sympathies
for the ** suffering slave,’’ and crack-brained
philosophers may theorize and persuade
themselves that the negro is capable of com-
mingling and enjoying freedom with the
white man, and intoxicated with this idea,
they may endeavor to put it in practice, as
they are attempting to do at present; but
the silent workings of the law of races will
scatter all their fine spun theories and upset
their calculating philosophy. It is said that
+¢ necessity knows no law,” and from pres-
ent appearances, in view of the threatened
hegira of ignorant blacks from the South,

man of the North, crowding him from his
hitherto undisputed field of labor. which
will grow in intensity until the white man
will feel the ‘“ necessity ”’ of getting rid of
the negro at whatcver cost. And that feel
ing will never be allayed until he is either
exterminated or driven beyond our borders,
Ours is & Government of white men, made
for the benefit of white men, and any Quix-
otic attempt of silly theorists to raise the ne-
gro-to an equality with the white man, by
seducing him from his natural field of labor
in the South, to crowd out the laborer of
the North, will only have the cffect to has-
ten the day of his destruction. Reader, pon-
der over this question, for it is one that will
be more momentous in its consequences
thanany that has yet ccme before the Amer-
ican people?

enough ony the price of tony for a

We have a missionary society. Tt gath-
ers each year from nearly a million of peo-
ple. It throws its benificient influences into
nearly every part of the world. But its
whole yearly revenue would endure the
draft of the United States Treasury only one
hour of the ten in the day.
Seven hundred thoussnd men are drawn
from the pursuits of industry. It is far
more impoverishing than if a million of pau
pers were thrown on ua to support, for then
laborers and producers would remain‘ at
work. Now they are far worse than idle.—
Their weapons are costly, equipments the
standerd of imperishability, harvests perish,
and cities are ruined by their presence.
England is contributing feaiful amounts
of wants and starvation to swell the price of
victory. France loses the sales of twenty
five millions of its wares, Interior Europe
and parts of Asia are paying portions of
this stupendous cost of victory.
Emancipation —The Coat.
Abolitionists,*in congress and out of it,
talk very flippantly of emancipating all the
Southern slaves, and paying the slave-hold~
ers for them. Let us look at the figures of
such a proposition. There are four miliion
of slaves. :
The bill now in Congress which proposes
to abolish slavery in the District ot Column-
bia, fixes the prices to be paid by the Gene-
ral Government at three hundred dollars per
head. At that rate the emancipation of all
the Southern slaves would cost twelve hun~
dred million dollars. without meluding the
cost of carrying cut the plan, or of disposing
of the free nogroes after emancipation.—
This sum according to the Constitution
would Lave to be apportioned among the
States according to the population = As:the
white population of the United States. sc-
cording to the census of 1860, was about ws
twenty-seven millions, aud the population
of Michigan three-fourths of a million, the
share for the citizens of Michigan to pay on
this speculation would be about $33,333,333.

Pennsylvania's proportion of this © nig-
ger trade,” would be near three times the
sum to be paid by Michigan or over ninety~
two millrons of dollars for every man, woman
and child 1n the State! If, fn thus pur-
chased, the slaves are to be colonized, or
sent to some distant country, they would
have to be maintained, in partat least, by
us; and this would involve an enormous
annual expense. But if they are not to be
colonized, they must be distributed over the,
Northern States, wherever the ple of
those States will permit. It is well known
that they would not be ‘tolerated in the Weat
and most of them would therefore be thrown
upon the Middle and Eastern States. But
supposing they are distributed over the
North in proportion to population, Pennsyl-
vania’s share of the four million negroes
would be over three Aundred thousand !
Do the people of this State want to pay
ninety-two millions of dollars to free the
slaves of the South, and then take three hun-

Hon. John J Crittenden and

The correspondent of the Syracuse N. Y.
Union says: A
«¢ Speaking of Secessionists, leads me to
réniember Ex~Governor Morehead of Ken-
tucky, who wes recently liberated from Fort
Warren, on condition of his not returning
home, but remaining in the ‘Free States
during the war. An anecdote is current as
to how the Governor got his release. hist
I am assured is well founded. It seems that
Ex-Seuator Crittenden demanded it, and was
assured by President Lincoln that Morehead
should be let out. A week went by, and
nothing more was done. A decond visit. to.
the White House gave the information to
Mr. Crittenden that Seward had been premt-
ly ordered by the President to release the
Prisoner, but, for some reason of his own,
ad declined to obey ; and a second written
request was then and there made out yo
signed by the Presidential hand and
patched to the State Department. Mr. Sew:
ard quietly consigned it to the flames, how-
ever, and Mr. Morehead | remained “in the
casements a fortnight or three woeks longer.
Again the indefatigable Kentucky loyalist
sald on the President an ped and
equally eneffectual message was the result -
the a still Hogorod on Boston Harbor.
At last Crittenden called on Seward himgel{
—six weeks had elapsed since his first mter-
ference. He demanded to know , why his
old friend was not discharged, Seward fal.
tered aud equivocated; Crittenden lost bis
temper—the old lion was aroused, and in
the Plaines, possible Anglo Saxon, he, ven. .
ted his opinion of the ¢¢ first officer under
the Government.”” “I always knew, he
roared, ¢* that you were a liar and, a dirty
dog, and you have proved it clesrer than
ever.” Mr. Seward in the most Christian
manner meekly declined a retort ; bat. hans
ded Mr. Crittenden the order for the release
of Mr. Morehead, and. 80 the Ex Governor
got his liberty. ; LT
