Sincerity vs Hypocrisy ',l ' ' l• Aa insignificant abolition sheet, pub iilicked in an adji;ining county, takes us to task in earnest fur not turning the ' •` column rules of our paper upside down, and going into hysterics over the death • of Mr. Lincoln.

We have no inclination at all to be hypo ': critical. Our opinion of Mr. Lincoln is -11 written, and from it we would not erase `Ai a single mord. The simple fact of his •' being called frotn,this world, in so sad a t ~/, manner, Aces adVejkitege it.

Who Taught Assassination ? --In our last issue r we proved beyond doubt that f Die ptiritan abolitionists did nut openly advocate the assassination of Pre,idelits Jaelisoit and Buchanan, they at '.ta.st, attempted to palliate the crime by excusing the criminal. We have now a little additional teqiniony to add - to - that, which - Flews - that - they hart not only been exeusers'of assassins but have taught assassination and boast ed of having men ready and willing to carry it out upon the person of their own „President should he pursue a certain eiii:O / se. In August of last Year, Deacon Gray, a leading abolitionist of Ohio, wrote •ti letter, over his Own signature, which u - as publi , hed in the Ohio State Jonntt, the drgan of the abolition party in Ohio, from which we clip the follow ing extract: I like the trpirit if the )lajor in eorpinsnil or the'Rith Otto.

When the toys tery that hangs around the assassination of Abraln.at Lincoln is unraveled, it . may, and we have. no doubt will, show to the world, puritanism as the guilty perpe trator of the bloody deed. —Some of our democratic exchanges are predicting that President Johnson ill ignore the abolition faction, and ad min. er the government according to the Kin is he cnce professed to en dcrsc. We Tray God that their predic tions may be verified; yet we have little hope that such will the ease. We would have more hope fer-the 'future of our country to-day, were its g'Civernment for the next four years in the hands of honest atolitiGnists like Horace Greeley, Wendell Phillips, Gerritt Smith, and William Lloyd Garrison, than we have as it is, under the control of such renc .gade democrats as Johnson, Stanton, Dix, Dickinson, Butler, and Holt. The former are hottest in their convictions and consistent in their course; the latter are neither. They are men who have neither principle nouatriotism about them. If a certain course will heap emoluments andoffice upon them, they will pursue it, let the consequence to the country he what it may. Self is the great thing with them—personal ag grandizement their only incentive to ac tion. From them um believe the coun try or people have little to expect. —W . eti John Brown expiated his crime for the murder of innocent and defenceless citizens of Harper's Ferry, on the gallows, at Charlestown, Virginia, the whole abolition parfy of the North deified him and sang peans in his praise. Now, when Abraham Lincoln has fallen by the hand of an assassin, a large por tioriof the same party immediately rec ognize the hand of God in the occur rence, 'amil say that it was done that a stesner —and...mora nossolle.. mea- 4 ._ • become chief magistrate. "Strange, and yet 'tis not strange" that in one case an assassin should be made a God, and in the other that God should he made an assassin. THE KING Is DEAD!—Loco Idva THE Kinn !—Two months have not elapsed sinco all shoddy Puritanism was exerting itself in a studied, and, shoddy thought, safe tibiae of the heir apparent—Vice President Atoirow Johnson. What anuffings,.alul ehullings there are now Andrew Johnson, of Ten nessee, on Saturday feat, took the oath of office as President of the United States. Now he has offices, and contracts, and fa vors without end, at lila. disposal. Which way will those time-serving Yankees now look, who, one month ago, were calling on him to resign? Who were calling on Con gress to imphach him ! What a sualipg time they will. have , of it! Let all thetr neighbors hunt up, and note down, what they said of Andrew Johnson, in the hour when they thought he was down / They thought he could not defend himself, and that is the hour when any man may count on a miserable Puritan to be valiant against him.

They had bVen classmates and chums at Waterville college; Maine, but when the war broke out one went with the South and the other remained true to the Union. They were both mortally wounded in this battle, and after the fight wee over a miftual friend found them lying side by side ou the battle field with their right hands clasped, and both dead.

MeALLLISTER. To Jas. McMan•'n, Esq., lion. Sanfl Linn and other members of the Bellefonte Bar, and officers of the court. 104Lp/rase the Court : I rise in accord ance with the resolution adopted by the officers of -th.to court and the members of this bar on the ifth inst. to announce in open court death Of the Honorable Names T. Hale. During the last session t Anding. the , Ist" day of the present month, Times T. Bale was with us—was of us—activ4engaged in the laborious duties of au attorney . of this court. Di!CALIO, sudden and unexpected, at o'clock on the night of the 6th instant, !er mined his earthly career—a most striking verification of the impressive warning that "in the midst of life we are in death." In the brief period allotted to these re marks, on what part or the '•history of the deceased shall I dwell? Of his many vir tues, of which shall I speak? The very endearing relation ho bore to his family as the most affectionate and thoughtful of hus bands and fathers we all know. And need I speak of his uniform kindness ana benevolence to the distressed, whether in mind, body, or estate, to this community, who have so frequently been participants of his kindness, and recipients °lbis bounty! Or shall L.speak of the high and honorable position he me:Tied, as a member of this bar, to those who have so often experienced his courtesy—felt his power and been con vinced of his reasoning ? Or shall I speak of his conduct when on the bench lour hon or now occupies, to those who, as at toeneys and suitors, tto 4 often witnessed his urbanity, imp rt il lnSeezily.leuning. and onnr gy, and never had cause to complain of his decisions?. Or shall 1 speak of his great moral worth as a christian man, and his liberal public spirit as a citizen which made him prominent in every enterprise calcula ted to ameliorate and improve the condition of his fellow men. From all these and many other limits of character which endeared him to us all, and which, dill time permit, we could dwell upon with pleasure and profit, let us turn for a few moments to contemplate him as the Rep resentative of this District in the Congress of the Culled States—the scene of his prin cipal labors during the last six years of his life. How little the mass of his constituents know of his labor, his anxiety and his influ ence'as a member of our National Legisla ture during that eventful period of our country's history. This however, we do know, that notwithstanding his utter'abhor once of human bondage, be adhered to the compromises of the Constitution, conceding th the elaveholder‘ his full rights as thcp , were recognized and understood by the pa trlots, North and South, who framed that instrument ; and that In this session of 1860 and 1861, before the inauguration of open rebellion, to prevent the shedding of blood, he took • prominent stand in favor of the adjustment of our national difficulties by manifesting a willingness to concede to the South all they could reasonably ask under the Constitution. Many here will recollect the attempt made in a public meeting, at that time convened In this house, to condemn the conciliatory course of our representative, which resulted in p, most triumphant vindication of his conduct. Although anxious to strengthen the arm of the Executive, and at all times prompt to vote supplies of men and money %o enable the govornipent to suppress the rti r belllon by force of %ruts, be was so from from vindictiveness and so moderate and oonoiliatory that be obtained in Congress the confidence of the moderate.,men of all parties, and was thus enabled to exercise over them a ',entraining influence. Most distinctly do I recollect en incident which occurred at the extra session held in the summer of 1861.. I sat for hours in the gallery of the House whilst the members were discussing and voting upon resolution after resolulon involving the principles upon which he war was le be conducted and the poi* of holding up the hands and strengthening the arm of the Executive. They were resolutions sprung upon the House with a view to test the opinions of members and their willingness to pledge their own and theirootuitituents' lives and property in defense of our nationality and the suppression of thi rebellion by force of arms. It was a crisis in dre great Amplest in elhiell we'were engaged. My eyes were fixed upon oar representative. Although he ojened not his mouth? in public debate, he Was active and appeared anxious. I saw him upon the Astor of the House. passing from seat to sent, engaged In earnest con versatioU wlth Members, on well on the Democratic tie on the fiepnblican aide. And when the ayes and time were called, I no ticed Democrats—men whom I had long known is Democrats—members elected as •Democaafs, with whom he had been conver sing, vote on the same sideyrith him, in position to the majority of their party. At the adjournment 1 :eft the gallery sad went dawn to the floor of the House and con gratulated my Democratic friends upon their votes; adding that although they may not have loved their party less, they had shown That they loved their country.thore, They re teed: "We voted with your mem ber, Judge Hale, and we shall continue to Stand tiff our country with him, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand " „I never did, I never can feel prouder of the repreeentative of our district than I did on that occasion. That promise was faithfully; kept, and among the last acts of those men were their votes for the amendment of the Constitution of the United States abolishing the institu tion of slaiery. Twice during the session of 1858-4 your speaker visited Washington City at the in. stance of the citizens of Centre County, to procure, ifpossible t ti_credit for our colon-. leer - I upon the grime required under the draft. We found Halealways at Ike post of kuty, always busy in the service of his fel low citizens, and anxious to servr them and b indomitable energy and 'untiring perse ..tte nce,aCtually obtaining ' fbr them many Ore benefits and many more favors than I fell to .the lot of the constituents of other `Coligrossmen. Ivor were his services emu. fined to his own ecinitituents or to the eit i -1 :cps of his own State. Hie ear was always open to the cf.) , of distress, whether it came from the loyal citizen of Louisiana. rep: easel, Kentucky, Alissouri, WesternirVir glom, or from the citizens of his own State or district. Judge Hale was, during his whole Con gressional career, a member, and during the last Congress chairmnn of the Committee on Claims—one of the moat laborious, the most iMportant and the most hotturahle offintitreci of Itielrotise, ani Fin mem - tiers LIZZLLibi, gre.t." lonue” , o-11.1)014-1• • action.

The body brought to 11 ashington. it strange we:rd Only Iwo tura blow 'Acre the body lies. The correspondent' of the New York World furnishes a full a d kril l :Alio account of the chase and captu e of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin,. of President Lincoln. After giving an account Of the chase, and the conversation between Lieut. Baker and Booth while the latter was in tho barn of the Garrets, the correspondent proceeds: Colonel-Conger, slipping around to the rear, drew some loose straws through a crack, and lit a match upon- , them. They were dry and blazed up in an instant, car rying a sheet of smoker and flame through the parted planks, and heaving in a twink ling a world of light and heat upon the mag salmi within. The blaze lit up the black re cesses of the great barn till every wasp's neat add cobweb in the root was luminous, Hinging Streaks of red and violet across the tumbled farm gear in the corner, plows, har rows, hoes, rakek sugar mills, and linking every separate grain„in the high bin adja cent gleam like a mote ,of precious gold. They tinged the beanie the upright c the barricades, where clover and timothy, piled high, held toward the hot intim:nary their separate straws for the funeral' Rile. They bathed the mprderer's retreat in .a beilutiful illumination, and while is bold outline kis figure stood revealed, they rose like an impenetrable wall to guard from sight the hated enemy who lit them. Be hind the blati,Nvith his eyes to the crack, Conger saw Wilkes Booth standing up• right upon a crutch. Ile likens him nt this instant to his brother Edwin, whom says he so much resembled that he half be= lieved, for the moment, the whole pursuit to have been a mistake. At the gleam of the fire Wilkes dropped his crutch and carbine, • • a-both-itaitslo-isser4--eip-so—t Ler .po. to espy the hmeudiary and shoot him dead, Ills eyes were lustrious like fever, and swel led and rolled in terrible beauty, while his teeth were fixed, and be wore the expression of one in the calmness before frenzy. In vain he peered aMI vengeance in his look ; the blase that made him visible concealed his enemy. A !wend lie turned glaring at the fire, as if to leap in upon and extinguish it, but it had made such headway that this was a futile impilirse and he 'dismissed it. As calmly as upcut,AbsCbattle field to veteran stands amidst the hail of ball and shell, and plunging iron, Booth turned at a man's stride, and pushed fur the door,' carbine in poise, and the last resolve of death, which we name despair, set on his high, bloodless forehead. As so he dashed, intent to expire not accompained, a . disobedient sergeant at an eye-hole drew upon him the fatal bead. The barn was all glorious with conflagration and in the beautilul ruin this outlawed man strode like , that we know of wicked valor, stern in the face of death. A shock, a shout, a gathering up of his splendid' figure as if to overtip the stature Clod gave him, and John Wilkes Booth fell headlong to the floor, lying there in a heap, a little life re maining. But no. , "lie has shot himself P' cried Baker, un aware of the source of the report, and rush ing in be grasped his arms to guard against any feint or strategy , . A moment convinced Lim-that further struggle with the prone flesh was useless. Booth did not move, nor bre/the, nor gasp. Conger and two ser geants now entered. and taking up the body they bore it in haste from the advancing flame, and laid it without upon the grass, all fresh with heavenly dew. "Water," cried Conger, t'bring water." When this wee dashed into hie face, he revived a moment, and stirred his lips. Baker put his ear close down, and heed him gay : .'Tell mother—and die—for my country." They lifted him...again, the lire esimoach log in hotness upon them, and plaoed him on the porch before the A mattress was brought down, on which• they placed him and propped kis'head, and gave hint water and brandy. The woman of the house-hold, joined meantime by another son, who had been found in one of the horn cribs, watching as he said, to sea that Booth and Harold did not steal the horses, were nervous, but prompt to do the dying mar all kinduetises, although waived sternly back by the detectives. They dip ped a rag in brandy and water, and this being put between Booth's teeth he sucked it greedily. When he was able to articulate again, be muttered to Mr. Baker the same words, with an addenda "Tell mother I died for my country._ I thought I did for the best." Biker repeated this, saying) .. the same time: "Booth, do I repeat it Ger reedy t" Booth nodded his head. By this time the grayness of dawn was approaching; moving figures inquisitively miming near were tob seen distinotly,and the cooks began to ow gutturally. though the barn by this eaas • bulk of blase and ash*. seking wads the zenith a spiral column of dens p smoke. The women became im poituhote at this time that thelroops might be ordered to extinguished the fire, which was spreading towards their precious corn cribs. Not even death could banish the call of interest. Soldiers were sent to put out the fire, and Booth, relieved of the bustle around him, drew near to death apace. 'twice he was beard to say, 'Kill tne, kill me." His lips often moved but could com plete no appreciable sound. Ile made once a motion which the .quick ,eyo of Conger understood to mean disc lath g ained him. Conger put his - 'Kea the dying man attempt& to cough, uConly caused the blood at hie perforated neck to flow more lively. 'lie bled very little, al though shot quite through, beneath and be+ hind the care,• his collar being severed on both sides. 4 soldier had been meanwhile dispatched for a doctor, bulgie route and return was . quite six miles: l, l'nd the einqtriras sinking fast. Still the 'women made efforts to get tlt_itelikkm, but work slimy& rebuffed, and all tie brandy they could find was demand ed by the assassin, who motioned for strong diink every two minutes. He made fre quent desires to be turned over, not by speech, but by gesture, and be was shit nately placed on his back„ belly and side. His tremendioua vitality ovideneed itself almost tuirtlously. Now and then his heart weuMEtiffie to throb, and his pulses. would he as cold as a dead man's. Dtrectly life would begin anew, the face would flush up effulgently. the eyes open and brighten, and soon relapsing, stillness re-asserted, ,would again be .dispossessed by the same magnificent triumph of man over mortality. Finally, the fussy little doctor arrived, in time to be useless. He probed the, wound, 'to see if the ball was not in it, ,and shook his head sagely, and talked learnedly. . Just at his coming Booth had asked to ltniti hist hands_ramad,and shown . Lim. ,They were so paralyzed that he did not know -thetr-leratiorr-- hs. Mey - were' dl.ulayed in multorad,-with-sLeatt lethargy; `.Useless, useless." These were the last words he ever uttered. As he began to die the sun rose and threw beams into all tffe tree Lops. It was of • man's height when the struggle of death twitched and fingered in the la ding bravo's &eel His jaw drew spasmod ically and obliquely downward; hie . eye balls rolled toward his feet, and began to
