THE GLOBE. Huntingdon, Wednesday, Jan. 16, 1861 LOCAL & PERSONAL. • The Union and the Constitution, Now and Forever, One and Inseparable." V - e, the undersigned citizens of Huntingdon county. having watched with a deep and abiding interest the progress of disunion in our country for some time past, now feel satisfied that unless the potential voice of the Union loving people be not raised in behalf of our blood-bought institutions—under which we have attained, among the nations of the earth, our present envi able position—we shall ere long behold the abhorrent spectacle of civil war; "of States dissevered, discordant, be ligerent—in which brother shall war against brother." Believing, from the history of passing events, that to this end we are fast hastening, we recom mend that a general Mass Meeting of the citizens of Huntingdon county be held in the Court House, in the bor ough of Huntingdon, on Thursday evening, Jan. Mb, to attest their fidel ity to the Union and the Constitution, and to give an expression of opinion as- to some means of adjusting the present difficulties existin g between the Northern and Southern States.

FIRE. —A BARN BURNED WITH 310 ST OF ITS CONTENTS.—About S o'clock on the morning of the 26th ult., the barn of Benjamin Shope, at Three Springs. in Clay township, was discovered to be on fire, and in half an hour was consumed, together with most of its contents, consisting' of his entire crop, pro ender for stock, a valuable set of carpenter's tools, barn tools, and sonic filming utensils. Mr. Shope had but lately finished threshing his crop, and had the grain gathered in the barn.— By strenuous effort, a portion of the wheat and oats was saved by openings made through the floor underneath the garners, through which it descended into the basement; it was then carri ed away, and otherwise prevented from being entirely consumed, though saved in a damaged condition. For from the stable without injury, with the exception of several hogs and one or two calves, which perished in the flames. The horse-gears were also saved. It was a large bank barn, al most new—one of the best in Clay township. The fire originated through the mischief of two little boys—one a son of 31r. Shope, about eight years of age, and the other a neighboring boy —who, with matches, set fire to a straw-stack adjoining the barn, which in an instant communicated to the barn. Estimated loss, $2,000. No insurance. The loss bears heavily on Mr. Shope.—Shirleysburg Herald. /3ESY- We have received from the pub lishers, Dinsmore & Co., No. 9, Spruce street, New York, Diusmore's Railroad and Steam Navigation Guide.

EDITOR :—During the time which has elapsed since the writing of my last, many changes have taken place. Many of our companions have entered the matrimonial noose; others are making preparations, and others are halting between the opinions " to" and "to not." Many have taken their de parture from this world of sorrow, un til the close of time; others have been smitten with the hand of affliction, while we aro still alive and permitted to agitate the slavery question, and to behold the scene of advancing war and blood-shed which o'erhangs our glori ous country—the home of our birth— the land for which our fore fathers laid down the lives. The proceedings of the South ap pear to be the chief topic of conversa tion among a number of our citizens, and our merchants' establishments serve as the chief resort for those who delight in arguments. Pleasure parties frequently occur among the pleasant and benevolent farmers' sons and daughters of this "neck o' woods," in which we occa sionally participate. On the evening of the 4th, in company with several of the ladies and gents of our village, we set out in full feathers to enjoy one of those evening entertainments given by the Miss and Messrs. Burkets at Royal Point. As the merry bells did jingle and we did glide o'er the snow-bound highway we chatted considerable, viewed the beautiful landscape o'er and pencilled accordingly. After a pleasant drive of—miles more or less, We reached the 7*s where others joined our number. Onward we sped our way. But hold the steed. What's wrong With`the Txdls (?)nary - jingTo iii - them. Soon the mystery is solved.— All is right and again we go. The Point is at hand. The meeting salute is given, and soon we find ourselves surrounding the cheerful fire, enjoying numerous jokes and anecdotes. After spending the greater part of the eve ning pleasantly, glad tidings were borne to us, that we might " eat, drink and be merry." We did so Mr. Editor, and were inclined to think that the lady of the establishment could pre pare a supper equal to any among the numerous. Continuing with different exercises until wearied, we extended our right pis tipped our beavers and bade farewell. Yllamt. BLOODY RUN, Jan. 8. 18G1 DEAR GLOBE :—Since my last I have attended a Teachers Institute in the town of Bedford, under the name of the "Bedford County Teachers Asso ciation." The interest manifested by not only the members but also those that were merely spectators, was truly cheering to the friends of education.— The Teachers in attendance numbered between eighty and ninety active, worlcinglnstructors. There were three sessions held each day, of three hours each. The forenoon and afternoon ex ercises were conducted in the form of a school, while the evening session was more of a miscellaneous nature, such as lectures, essays, debates. &c.— There were exercises each day in the different branches conducted by some of the ablest teachers of the county.— The interest of the Institute was great ly facilitated by the hospitable citizens of Bedford in keeping the members free of charge. STANLEY. WHAT is Cor.acioN ?—The Southern people regard the attempt to send more troops into Charleston harbor, as coercion. The followin: , , front the Wilmington (N. C.) Herald, will give our readers an idea of the feeling in the South : " The Union men of the South will never submit to any kind of coercion, and the first attempt to exercise it will drive even the most conservative to immediate resistance. And when we say coercion, we do not confine ourselves to direct armed invasion by any means—that the women and chil dren would resist. We mean that af ter a State has declared herself inde pendent, no investment of the Forts and Arsenals by Federal troops for the purpose of executing the Federal laws, would be submitted to. If the object of the Northern States is to save the - union, they must know that force is the last means to be used to attain that end. Force would be the parent of immediate and everlasting separation. If the salvation of the Union is not their purpose, or if they are reckless , of the means to be used to accomplish it, then they are right, and—we are ready. The time is near at hand, if it has not already passed, when not even a compromise can save it. Let them make a proper use of it,if they appreci ate the value of time, and have not de termined to continue their course un changed." MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT. To Me Senate and Hangs of Representatives At the opening of your present ses sion, I called your attention to the dangers which threatened the exist ence of the Union. I expressed my opinion freely concerning the original causes of these dangers, and recom mended such measures as I believed would have the effect of tranquilizing the country and saving it from the peril in which it bad been needlessly and most unfortunately involved.— Those opinions and recommendations Ido not propose now to repeat. My own convictions upon the whole sub ject remain unchanged. The fact that a great calamity was impending over the nation was even at that time ac knowledged by every intelligent citi zen. It had already made itself felt throughout the length and breadth of the land. The necessary consequences of the alarm thus produced were most deplorable. The imports fell off with a rapidity never known before, except in time of war, in the history of our foreign commerce. The Treasury was unexpectedly left without the means which it had rea sonably- counted upon to meet its pub lic engagements, trade was paralyzed, manufitetures were stopped, the best public securities suddenly sunk in the market, every species of property- de preciated more or less, and thousands of poor men who depended on their daily labor for their daily bread were turned out of employment. I deeply regret that I am not able to give you any information upon the state of the Union which is more satisfitetory than what 1 was then obliged to communi cate. On the contrary, matters are still worse at the pres;:at time than they then were. When Congress met, a strong hope pervaded the whole pub lic mind that some amicable adjust ment of the subject would be speedily made by the representatives of the States and of the people. which mig?lit restore peace between the conflicting sections of the country. That hope has been diminished by every hour of delay, and as the prospect of a blood less settlement fades away the public distress becomes more and more ag gravated. As an evidence of this, it is only ne cessary to say that the treasury notes authorized by the act of 17th Decem ber last were advertised according to law, and that no responsible bidder of fered to take any considerable sum at par at a lower rate of interest than twelve per cent. From these facts it appears that, in a Government organ ized like ours. domestic strife. or even a well grounded, fear of civil hostili ties, is more destructive to our public and private interests than the most formidable foreign war. In my annual message I expressed the conviction which I have long de liberately held, and which recent re flection has only tended to deepen and confirm, that no State has the right, by its own act, to secede from - the Union, or throw oft' its Federal obliga tions at pleasure. I also declared my opinion to be that, even if that right existed, and should be exercised by any State of the Confederacy, the Ex- Arm five Dennri mont a it ig norn- Mont had no authority, under theyon stitution to recognize its validity by acknowledging the independence of such State. This left me no alterna tive, as the chief executive officer un der the Constitution of the United States, but to collect the public revenue and protect the public property, so for as this might be practicable under the existing laws. This is still my pur pose. My province is to execute, not to make the laws. It belongs to Con gress exclusively to repeal, modify, or enlarge their provisions to meet exi gencies as they occur. I possess no dispensing power. I certainly had no I right to make an aggiessive war upon 'I any State; and I am perfectly satisfi ed that the Constitution has wisely withheld that power even from Con gress. But the right and the duty to use the military force defensively against those who resist the Federal officers in the execution of their legal functions, and against those who as sail the property of the Federal Gov ernment is clear and undeniable. But the dangerous and hostile attitude or States towards each other has already far transcended and cast into the shade the ordinary Executive duties already provided for by law, and has assumed such vast and alarming proportions as to place the subject entirely above and beyond the Executive control.— The fact cannot be disguised that we are in the midst of a great revolution. In all its various bearings, therefore, I commend the question to Congress as the only human tribunal under Provi dence possessing the power to meet the existing emergency. To them ex clusively belongs the power to declare war, or authorize the employment of the military force in all cases Contem plated by the Constitution; and they alone possess the power to remove the grievances which might lead to war, and to secure peace and union to this distracted country. On them, and on them alone, rests the responsibility. The Union is a sacred trust, left by our revolutionary fhthers to their de scendants, and never did any other people inherit so rich a legacy. It has rendered us prosperous in peace and triumphant in war. The national flag has floated with glory over every sea. Under its shadow American citi zens have found protection and respect in all lands beneath the sun. It we descend to considerations of purely material interest, when, in the history of all time, has a Confederacy been bound together with such strong ties of mutual interest? Each portion of it is dependent on all, and all upon each portion for prosperity and do mestic security; a free trade through- out the whole supplies the wants of one portion from the productions of another, and scatters wealth every where. The great planting and farm ing States require, and commercial navigation States send their produc tions to domestic and foreign markets, and furnish a naval power, to render their transportation secure against all hostile attacks. Should the Union perish in the midst of the present ex citement, we have already hail a fore taste of the universal suinring which would result from its destruction.— The calamity would be severe in every portion of the Union, and would be quite as great, to say the least, in the Southern as hi the Northern States. The greatest aggravation of the evil, And that which would place us in a most unfavorable light, both before the world and posterity, is, as I am firmly convinced, that the secession movement has been chiefly based upon a, misapprehension at the South, of the sentiments of the majority in several of the Northern,States. Let the ques tion be transferred from political as semblies to the ballot-box, and the people themselves would speedily re dress the serious grievances which the South have suffered. But, in Heaven's name, let the trial be made before we plunge into an armed conflict upon the mere assump tion that there is no other alternative. Time is a great conservative power.— Let us pause at this momentous point, and afford the people of both North and South, an opportunity for reflec tion. Would that South Carolina had been convinced of this truth before her precipitate action. I therefbre appeal, through you, to the people of the country to declare in their might that `TILE UNION MUST AND SHALL BE PRE SERVED " by all constitutional means. I most earnestly recommend that you devote yourselves exclusively to the question how this can be accom plished in peace. All other questions, when compared with this, sink into insignificance. The present is no time for palliation. Action, prompt action, is required. A delay in Congress to prescribe and recommend a distinct and practical proposition tin. concilia tion may drive us to a point from which it will be almost impossible to recede. A common ground on which conciliation and harmony may be pro duced is surely not unattainable. The proposition to compromise by letting the _North have exclusive con trol of the territory above a certain line, and giving Southern institutions protection below that line, ought to receive universal approbation. In it self, indeed, it may not be entirely sat isfhetmy ; but when the alternative is between a reasonable concession on Loth sides and the destruction of the Union, it is an imputation on the pa triotism of Congress to assert that its members will hesitate for a moment. Even now the danger is upon us.— In several States which have not se ceded, the forts, arsenals, and maga zines of the United States have been seized. This is, by flir, the most seri ous step which has been taken since the commencement of the troubles.— This public property has long been left without garrisons and troops for its protection, because no person doubted its security under the flag of the coun try in all the States of the Union.— Besides, our small army has scarcely been sufficient to guard our remote frontiers against Indian incursions. The seizure of this property, from all appearances, has been purely ag gressive, and not in resistance to any attempt to coerce a State or States to remain in the Union. At the begin ning of these unhappy troubles, I de termined that no act of mine should ' 1 increase the excitement in either sec tion of the country. If the political conflict were to end in civil war, it was my determined purpose not to commence it, 1101' even to Amish an excuse for it by any act of this Gov ernment. My opinion ttemains un chane•ed that justice. au well as a a peaceful solution of the questions at issue between the North and South.— Entertaining this conviction, I refrain ed even front sending reinforcements to Major Anderson, who' commanded the forts in Charleston harbor, until an absolute necessity for doing so, should make itself apparent, lest it might unjustly be regarded as a menace of military coercion, and thus furnish, if not a provocation, at least It pretext for an outbreak on the part of South Carolina. No necessity for these re inforcements seemed to exist. I was assured, by distinguished and upright gentlemen from South Carolina, that no attack on Major Anderson was in tended, but that, on the contrary, it was the desire of the State authorities, as much as it was my own, to avoid the fatal consequences which must in ' evitably follow a military collision.— And here I deem it proper to submit, for your information, copies of a com munication dated the 28th of Decem ber, 1860, addressed to me by R. W. Barnwell, J. 11. Adams, and James L. Orr, Commissioners from South Caro lina, with accompanying documents, and copies of my answer thereto, dated the 31st of December. In further explanation of Major An derson's removal from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumpter, it is proper to state that after my answer to the South Carolina Commisioners, the War De partment received a letter from that gallant officer, dated on the 27th De cember, 1860. (the day after this move ment), from which the fbllowing is an extract : I will add, as my opinion, that many things convinced me that the authorities of the Si ate designed to proceed to a hostile act." [Evidently referring to the orders dated December 11, of the late Secretary of War.]— " Under this impression, I could not hesitate that it was my solemn duty to move my command from a fort which we could not probably have held longer than forty-eight or sixty hours, to this one, where my powerof resist ance is increased in a very great degree." It will he recollected that the con eluding part of these orders were in the following terms : " The smallness of your force will not permit you, perhaps, to occupy more than one of the three forts; but all attack on, or an attempt to take possession of either ono of them, will be regarded as an act of hostility, and you may then put your command into either of them which you may deem most proper, to increase its power of resistance. You are also authorized to take similar defensive steps when ever you have tangible evidence of a design to proceed to a hostile act." IL is said that serious apprehensions are, to some extent, entertained that the peace of this district may be dis turbed before March next. In any event, it will be my duty to prevent it, and this duty shall be performed. In conclusion, it may be permitted to me to remark that I have often warned my countrymen of the dangers which now surround us. This may be the last time I shall refer to the sub ject officially. I feel that my duty has been faithfully, though imperlbctly per formed, and, whatever the result may be, I shall carry to my grave the con sciousness that I, at least meant well for my country. JAMES BUCHANAN. AVAsurseToN CITY, Jan. P.. 18(31: THE BI ISLE ON SECESSION . — The Prov idence (R. I.) Journal says : We find in a Charleston paper the following striking paragraph, which proves conclusively that the prophet Joel was in favor of sesession : The 20th verse of the second chapter of the Book of Joel reads as follows : " But I will remove far off from you the Northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the East Sea, and his hinder part toward the - utmost sea. It may be a comfort to those who are alarmed by this, to be assured that Jeremiah is on our side. For, in the 13th chapter and 79th verse, he says: " The cities of the South shall be stmt up, and none shall open them." Jer emiah being one of the greater proph ets, and Joel only one of the minor prophets, the advantage is clearly with us.
