THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DKVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C.
The Poettion of Pennsylvania.
"To the people of Pennsylvania the admission of a new
State into the Union—into that Confederacy of which she
is A , member—must be at all times a subject of high inte
rest. And I believe I express their sentiments, as well as
my own, in declaring that all the qualified electors of a
Territory should have a fair opportunity to participate in
selecting delegates to form, a Constitution preparitery to
addraismen RS a State, and if desired by them, they should
also be allowed an unqualified right to vote upon suclA Con
stitution after it is framed."
This extract from the " inaugural address" '
of GOvernor Packer, delivered at Harris
burg on the 19th of last month s in the pres
ence of thousands of Democrats from all parts
of the State, and responded. to by them with
tumultuous applause, has since been publish
ed all over the United States as the true po
sition occupied. by the Democracy of Pennsyl
vania on the great question of Kansas and
the Lecompton Constitution. They are mem
orable words. The time, and the occasion of
their utterance, were alike fitting for this ex
pression of the sentiments of the people of
Pennsylvania. Called by their suffrages to
fill the Execative chair, Governor Packer was
authorized to speak to the country in their
name ; and for them, as well as himself, he
has said that " .xia, the qualified electors of a
Territory should have a fair opportunity to
participate in selecting delegates to form a
Constitution preparatory to admission as a
State, and, if desired by them, they should
also be allowed an uxona.r.triEn right to vote
upon such Constitution after it is framed."
Here is a succinct, and at the same time a
powerful, summary of the merits of the whole
question, and a clear enunciation of the
ground on which Governor Packer and his
Administration intend to stand. Such a dec
laration was not made unadvisedly, or on im
perfect information. As a candidate for the
office of Governor, General Packer had trav
elled over the State, and had the best oppor
tunity to ascertain the views, and consult the
wishes, of the people. Since his election he
has been in correspondence and intercourse
with the prominent men of the Democratic
party in the different counties of the State,
and has mingled freely among the masses,
and ascertained their opinions and convic
tions. From all these sources of information
Governor Packer has ascertained that the
Democracy of Pennsylvania arc united in
their abhorrence of the fraud and violence
practised in Kansas, and now sought to be
Inflicted on the people of the United States, by
forcing the Lecompton Constitution through
Congress by Democratic votes
When Gov. Packer says that " the quali
fied. electors of a territory should have a full
opportunity to vote for delegates to a Conven
tion to form a Constitution," he undoubtedly
means to express for himself, and the. people
of Pennsylvania, their condemnation of the
illegal and anti-Democratic scheme, successful
ly practiced in Kansas, whereby nineteen
counties were deprived of the opportunity of
voting for delegates to the Constitutional Con
vention.
The qualifications of the people of these
nineteen counties, as voters, have never been
denied, nor has it ever been asserted that
they had. expressed, in any way, their unwil
lingness to participate in such an election.—
On the contrary, it is an indisputable fact
that they were prevented from voting, partly
through the defect of the law of the Territo
ry, but mainly by the exertions and artifices
of those lawless men who have conspired
against the rights of the peoqlo of that Ter
ritory. No census had been taken in the
nineteen counties thus disfranchised. No
registry of votes or poll-books were prepared,
and no polls were opened. On the day of the
elections, all these were the glaring acts of
fraud. that deprived the qualified electors of
so great a portion of the Territory of Kansas
of the opportunity of "selecting delegates to
form a Constitution preparatory to admission
as a State." Every disinterested man, every
true Democrat, and every true Pennsylvani
an, will give his most earnest support to Gov
ernor Packer in speaking, in the name of the
people, against an iniquity thus practiced,
and now sought to be upheld.
When Governor Packer goes a step further,
and proclaims his adherence to the principle
that the people have "an unqualijied right to
vote upon such Constitution after it is
framed," he takes his place alongside of Sen
ator Douglas, Governor Walker, Governor
Wise, and other leading men, who resist the
encroachment now attempted to he made on
this great principle of self-government—the
very life and genius of republican institu
tions. Here we see Pennsylvania, through
her Eeecutive, fairly entering her protest
against the mere sham of voting on a Con
stitution, presented in the ex parte manner
in which the Lecompton Constitution was
submitted to the people of Kansas. And
here, too, Governor Packer brings to our
escollection, by the use of such language, the
fact that ten thousand majority has been
cast in Kansas against that infamous cheat.
The Democratic party (and when we say
"the party," we mean the masses of Demo
cratic voters who, more truly than the self
appointed leaders, uphold the cardinal doc
trines of our party creed, and not the men
who bow down in servile submission at the
footstool of power) will rally round these able
and eloquent men in their fearless resistance
of wrong and injustice.
The question of the admission of Kansas,
under the Lecompton Constitution, will arise
in Congress in a few days, and Democratic
members will be called upon to vote when
the ayes and nays are called. For these who
represent Pennsylvania eve have a word of
caution and advice. Let them read Gover
nor Packer's inaugural address if they desire
to know the sentiments of the Democratic
party in Pennsylvania. Let them be well
assured that Governor Packer not only
speaks in the name of the people, but he' ex
presses their sentiments; and if our repre
sentatives doubt it, let them return to their
constituents for a brief interval and ascer
tain by personal observation and inquiries,
whether what we here assert is true or not.
Let them call county meetings, if they please,
and ask for instructions. But, above all, let
them execute "the will of the majority."—
We appeal to them to disenchant themselves
from the seductive and dangerous influences
which surround them in Washington, and
think of their responsibilities at home.
Our people love and admire the great prin
ciples of popular government too much to
hesitate now on this question. Here, on
Pennsylvania soil, those principles found
their ablest expression in the Declaration of
Independence. It can never be that the
Democracy of Pennsylvania will ever support
representatives willing to sanction the fraud,
perjury, and oppression, that have attended
upon the Lecompton Constitution.
We hear it said that it is a Democratic
measure, and therefore it should be support
ed. We deny it. That would make the
name of Democracy a synonym for wrong and
tyranny, instead of the watchword for Justice
and civil liberty.
With such leaders as Senator Douglas,
Robert J. Walker, Governor Wieo, and Gov
ernor Packer, backed as they are by the well
ascertained sentiments of the Democratic par
ty in Pennsylvania, we have no fear of the is
sue. And we have simply to say, in conclu
sion, that the representative in Congress
from Pennsylvania,. who votes for the Le
compton Constitution, will seal his doom
forever This is no mere conjecture of ours;
it is the determined will of the people.—Press.
[From the Presll
Special Message of the President
The message of the President of the Uni
ted States, presenting and commending the
Lecompton Constitution as the only fair way
of composing the difficulties which now dis
turb Kansas and the country, contains two or
three leading passages upon which we desire
to comment, and from which we entirely dis
sent.
The first is, that the whole of the people of
Kansas, who protest against the Lecompton
Constitution, are held responsible for the tur
bulence created by the so-called General
"Jim LSNE," and also fur that ridiculous
farce, the Topeka Government. There is no
line of discrimination drawn between these
two classes in the message; and there is a
very broad difference in their sentiments and
actions.
The fact is, it was because the moderate
and law-loving portion of the people of the
Teritory refused to follow LANE on the one
hand, or CALHOUN on the other, that Gover
nor WALKER was enabled to tranquillize the
majority by assuring them that they should
vote upon their own Constitution after it was
framed. LANE himself, violent and danger
ous a demagogue as he is, was compelled to
yield before the conservative sentiment so
successfully invoked and cultivated by Gov
ernor 'WALKER. But for the efforts and
pledges of the latter, made upon the author
ity of the ample and equivocal instructions
of the Administration, LANE would have
swept the whole Teritory with his followers.
Governor WALKER gathered all the men to
his standard who desired to have the question
terminated ; and if the Constitution had been
submitted to the people, L.tx - E would have re
mained as powerless as he was when the peo
ple accepted the solemn pledge of Governor
WALKER. It is, as we conceive, a hard
measure of justice, therefore, to include the
great body of the Democratic and free-State
parites of Kansas in the same category with
the Topeka disorganizers and the brigades
of LANE. And we deplore the effict of this
indiscriminate condemnaton of the majority
upon an excited populace, who are at this
very moment called to contemplate a new
outrage upon their rights, in the rejection of
enough of their own votes to defeat the very
State ticket and Legislature which they fair
ly elected on the fourth day of January.
The suggestion contained in the following
extract from the message is the key that
opens the door to a multitude of dangerous
doubts
"It has been solemnly adjudged, by the highest judicial
tribunal, that slavery exists in Kansas by virtue of the
Constitution of the 'United States. Kansas is, therefore,
at this moment, as much a slave State as Georgia or South
Carolina. Without this, the equality of the sovereign
States composing the Union would be violated, and the 11,,e,
and enjoyment of territory acquired by the common tress
me of all the States would be closed against the people
and property of nearly half the members of the Confeder
acy. Slavery can, therefore, never be prohibited in Kan
sas, except by means of a constitutional provision, and in
no other manner can this be obtained so promptly, if the
majority of the people desire it, as by admitting it into
the Union under the present Constitution."
We come to the practical question at once.
The people of Kansas, ever since it has been
determined to make this Lecompton fraud a
test, have been assured that all the power of
altering or amending their Constitution is in
their own hands and that immediately after
the admission of Kansas under the Lecomp
ton contrivance, they could proceed to erect
their own Government instead. It was this
assurance, authoritatively thrown out from
Washington, and doubtless pertinaciously in
sisted upon by Gov. DENVER, which induced
many excellent citizens to vote for State offi
cers and Legislature on the 4th day of Janu
ary last—though, happily, at the same mo
ment of time, they took the precautionary
step of recording their judgment against this
abominable Lecompton contrivance. At this
election they threw a majority for their own
candidates ; but this majority has since been
counted out by C_ rotor who, under the Le
compton Constitution, will hold Kansas for a
long period of years in utter defiance of the
majority, sustained by the troops of the Gen
eral Government. The whole State machin
ery is already in his hands. The Legislature
he has manufactured into a pro-slavery Le
gislature ; the framing of the laws will be
accomplished under this influence ; the Gov
ernor and all the heads of the new State or
ganization will be his creatures. Under these
auspices he can provide such precautions
against the exercise of the will of the majori
ty in Kansas as will keep Kansas in the
hands of the pro-slavery party, until, in deed
and in fact, it becomes "as much of a slave
State as Georgia or South Carolina," to use
the President's-own language.
That CALHOUN and his partisans are capa
ble of this, no fair man will contest. They
have done worse in the Territory; and
they will certainly not hesitate when, with
two pro-slavery Senators in Congress, and
with the Legislature and the whole new
State Government in their power, they may
go on, and fetter the hands of the people, and
call in the troops to shoot them down in case
of resistance, as so many rebels to the law.
Apart from this view of the case, is an
other full of startling confirmation. The
Southern States now feel that in forcing slav
ery into Kansas, they may rescue Missouri
from emancipation, and so maintain their
power, by aid of .i.YOrthern Senators, in the
highest legislative branch of the Government.
This is no longer an inference.
The President does not tell his country
men that the proposed new State organiza
tion, after a fair vote against the pro-slavery
minority, (which minority polled about 6,000
votes, nearly 4,000 of which were fraudulent
—see certificate in the PRESS of yesterday,
signed by the Speakers of the two Houses of
the legal Kansas Legislature, now in session)
—has been given to this minority, thus
placing at the disposal of the Minority the
whole force of the Government, in the event
of the admission of Kansas under the Le
compton fraud. But he does tell us, emphati
cally, "that slavery can never be prohibited in
Kansas except by means of a constitutional
provision;" and also that, by virtue of the
decision of the highest judicial tribunal, the
Supreme Court of the United States, "slavery
exists in Kansas," and also that "Kansas is
as much a slate State as Georgia or South
Carolina."
Taking it for granted that " slavery exists
in Kansas," under the Dam) SCOTT decision,
it seems to us that the President concedes
the enormous difficulty of extirpating it when
he declares that a constitutional provision is
necessary to do it, and when he must be
aware that the whole c,f the machinery of
the Government of Kansas, when she be
comes a State under the Lecompton Collett
tution, will be in the hands of those whose
interests and whose expressed determination
is, to continue to maintain Kansas "as much
of a slave State as Georgia and South, Caro
lina."
How supremely absurd, in view of these
extraordinary facts, is the pretext of ,the
friends of the Lecompton fraud, in our midst,
that the Legislature of Kansas has abolished
slavery ! (which is true,) and, therefore, that
the will of the majority against slavery has
already prevailed. Mr. BUCHANAN, though
not stating the action of CALHOUN as to the
election of State officers, &c., sufficiently
shows how difficult it will be to attain this
end.
We are not disposed to comment at length
on the absence of condemnation in the mes
sage, of the gross frauds perpetrated by the
minority in Kansas, heeded by Canuourr,
upon the rights of the majority. We should
have been gratified to see these frauds ex
posed, and repudiated by the President of
the United States. In our opinion, they were
so manifold, and of such controlling magni
tude, down to the very last living moment,
that, inasmuch as the Executive has spoken
of other unofficial facts, (as, for instance, the
action of the Topeka disorganization,) he
might well have condemned these glaring
outrages upon the will of the majority. Con
gress, however, will be compelled to give the
full facts of the case a searching analysis
and an elaborate publication; and upon this
investigation we now depend for the protec
tion of the rights of the people in Kansas.
We shall have more to say on this prolific
subject. We differ from the President on
this one great issue, respectfully but firmly.
We are glad that he has made no party test
of Lecompton in his message. In these days
when messages are apt to be political appeals
as well as State papers, this omission is
marked. A very wide toleration on this
question of Kansas is the best for all parties.
Democrats, who have grown gray and old in
the service—men now in Congress who have
led the triumphant legions of our party, and
have given heart and soul to many a forlorn
hope—hundreds of thousands of the constitu
ents of these men, at their farms and work
shops---,.are, at this moment, sternly resolved
against the course of the pro-slavery minori
ty in Kansas. They laugh at the efforts of
puny politicians to frighten them from their
position by the cry of party, or the .parrot
call of going over to the Republicans. The
veterans who fought at Bunker Hill and Lex
ington, and Saratoga and Monmouth, might
as well have been rated for want of patriot
ism by the raw recruits who grew pale at
the thunder of a distant cannonade. Mr.
BUCHANAN sets an example to these tyros.—
They may consult their interests by follow
ing it or not. We are equally indifferent to
their stabs and their smiles.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GLOBE.
SPRUCE CREEK, February 5, 1858.
MR. EDITOR.:—AIIow me once more to
pen a few lines from this end. There has
nothing transpired since my last worthy of
note, except an Educational Mass Meeting,
which was held at this place, commencing
on the evening of the 29th ult., and continu
ing over Saturday. The meeting was well
attended, and particularly by the friends of
Education. Addresses were delivered on the
occasion, by A. W. Benedict, Esq., Prof.
Walsh, Dr. Thompson, Jas. Gardner, Esq.,
and others. The addresses were all instruc
tive as well as commendable. Both time and
space forbid me giving the particulars of
this meeting, but feel assured that it marks
a new era in the Educational history of this
place. All present, I believe, left with the
determination to labor more assiduously in
the proper instructing of youth, and to for
ward on our glorious Common School Sys
tem.
At the close of this association Master
Miller delivered quite a spirited declamation
from Dr. Dick. X. Y.
DEAR. GLOBE :-My school-room duties for
a few weeks past, have been so arduous that
I could find no time to pen anything for your
columns. But since I had the pleasure of
attending on Friday the 29th ult., an exami
nation of the school under the care of G. P.
Eldredge, Esq., in Morris township, I now
regard it, truly, as a mental feast, that I can
report to the friends of Education the result
of so successful an examination.
I will not attempt to give a detail of the
various recitations of the school, for neither
time nor space would permit. I will, how
ever, say that - while witnessing the exercise
of several boys in Book-Keeping, we were
highly delighted with the proficiency fliey
had made, as we learned from the teacher
that they had not been long engaged, in this
study. Also a number of boys and girls
chanting Geography on Outline Maps which
had been drawn by the teacher of the school,
amused us exceedingly. And as I designed
to be brief, suffice it to say that the entire
exercises of the day were very entertaining.
The scholars acquitted themselves admirably
-thus reflecting great credit not only upon
themselves, but also upon their' devoted
teacher.
Before the close of the examination, a num
ber of citizens and directors being present,
the following resolutions were offered and
adopted :
Resolved, That we as directors and citizens
are highly pleased with the rapid advance
ment of our school under the charge of Mr.
Eldredge, and that he deserves great praise
for his labor and untiring zeal in advancing
the interests of our children.
Resolved, That we regard Mr. Eldredge
as one among our first teachers, and that we
will lend him our undivided assistance in
support of his school.
And since 'the laborer is worthy his hire,'
it is but just that I should add, Mr. Eldredge
is truly 'a teacher of the times,' and I dis
miss the subject by commending to public
confidence so successful an instructor.

AGENTS, ATTENTION ! Do you
wish to find good employment, and make money
with little or no investment, and without interfering with
your regular business? lf you do, read this advertise
ment.
C. E. TODD <4; Co., of 392 Broome Street, New York, are
manufacturing and Belling massive gold Pencils for $5
each, (which are cheap at that price,) and they throw in a
gift or prize with each Pencil, worth from $2 up to $5, $lO,
$l3, $2O, $25, $3O, $5O, $75, $lOO, $2OO, and $5OO. Don't
cry out, " Humbug ! Lottery!" It's no such thing. The
Pencils are sold at their cash value, and all the profits over
the first cost are thrown into the gifts, which actually cost,
the purchaser nothing. The prizes arc distributed on a
simple plan of drawing, which would take too much room
to explain, but which has never failed to give complete
satisfaction. We have drawn and sent to purchasers 183
gold watches of various prices, 74 purses of gold dollars,
238 gold lockets, 850 gold chains, and a corresponding
number of other prizes, within two months.
THERE ARE NO BLANES,
but everßpurcbaser draws a prize worth $2 certain, and it
stands thousands of chances to be a higher figure.
We want a good agent in every neighborhood through.
out the country, to solicit purchasers, and any agent, to
be successful, mast have a Pencil and prize to exhibit.—
We pay agents $1 cash for each purchaser ho obtains, and
the first person in any neighborhood who applies for a
Pencil and gift, w ill receive the agency for that locality:—
Should an agent obtain a valuable prize to exhibit with
his Pencil, ho would have little difficulty in obtaining
scores of purchasers, and making it a paying business.
A NEW IDEA I READ! I READ I f
We ask nobody to send their money till they know what
prize they draw. Any person wishing to try their luck.
can first send us their name and address, and wo will mako
their drawing awl inform them by return mail what prize
they drew, when they can send on and take the Pencil and
prize, or not, whichever they choose. We give this privi
lege only once to a purchaser. After the first drawing, or-'
cry purchaser will be required to send in advance, through
the authorized agent. We will send with each drawing,
tho number taken out, with full description of the plan of
drawing. Address C. E. TODD & CO.,
