Sentenced. —The negro Bell convicted at our late court of murder in the second degree, was sentenced (on Friday last,) to seven years and three months imprisonment in the East ern Penitentiary. Sheriff Eippev took Bell and Borns, (both colored,) to tho city on Monday. Dickinson College. —The winter and Spring term of Dickinson College commenced oil the 22d inst., under very favorable aus pices. There has been a considerable in crease in the number of students, and, we are glad toTonrn, tho College is in a prosper ous condition. Opposition to “ Contraband” Importa tions.—The extreme abolition policy of the ‘jrttWgjff-Adasinistration is producing its legi timate fruit in tho Northern States. In sev eral of them, legislation has already been ini ti nted to exclude all colored persons from their territory, and ih our own State, a multitude of petitions are coming up to the Legislature, praying for a law to prohibit negroes and mulattoes from coming here. Petitions to this, effect are now in circulation in this county, and receiving numerous signatures, not only of Democrats, but of Republicans also. Gov. Parker's Inaugural. —We invito a caroful perusal of that paid ot tho Inaugural Address of Qby. Parker of Now Jersey, to be found on our first page to-day. It is the best State .pap or we have seen for some time.— His views on State rights, arbitrary arrests, rind, martial law 'will ho heart! ly endorsed by the people. . It defines the.rights of the' peo'- ple, advocates th cir sovereignty, and shows how grievous and unwarranted have been the usurpations of this Administration, upon tho false ab surd and ridiculous assumption . that the military power is above and overrides the civil powers of the.government. ZZT Goy. Curtin in his late message, had not one word to say about the Presidents’s emancipation proclamation. This silence has a significance. Does the Governor fail to find authority for it under tho Constitution, which ho has Sworn to obey ? Has he failed to djs pover by what means a “military necessity” pan warrant the Chief Magistrate of the na tion to usurp and disregard the Constitution at pleasure ? Gov. Curtin deserves credit for not euifcrseing it, but how much better would it be for the Governor’s reputation had he de nounced this monstrous usurpation in such terms as we are euro he feels it deserves? Tub Mutineers or the Anderson Troop. •—Gen Kobecrans has issued an order in ref erence to the Anderson Troop, commending highly the valor of those, who followed him to battle under the brave Majors Rosengabten and Ward, amDexpressing great grief at the shameful conduct of the seven hundred who refused to fight. Ilosayatheirconductappqars not only “base and cowardly, but so criminal as to deserve the penally of death.'’ Before proceeding to do what his duty requires, and have them dealt with as their conduct merits, he directs the order to be road to thorn, in the hope that by a full confession of their fault, they may save themselves from impending disgrace and ruin. They had better avail themselves of his merciful offer. o®* It is a most singular fact that the en tire Republican press of this State are at tempting to patch up excuses and npoligies for infamous attempt to bribe a member of the House- to vote for him for Senator. They- abuse Mr. BoyEr : without stint, and appear to think they can break- the force of the expose by detraction and foul billings gate.. No use, Messrs. Republican editors'* The statement of Mr. Boyer will prove true in every particular, and the Min ister to Russia will yet suffer for his high-1 handed outrage.- But, we desire the people to remember,- now and on the day of the next election, that nll'the Republican mem bers of Assembly and all, the Republican par pars defend Cameron, If they can go before the voters with this load to carry let them try it. ASTOUNDING DISCLOSURES, In to-day's paper will bo found a most startling exposure of attempted corruption. Rood it, good people of Gumbcrlond;eounty r and remember that the man who approached! Mr. Boyer, a member of the House from. Clearfield county, is President Lincoln’s Minister to Russia, and was Secretory of War, untihpublio opinion forced him from that position. It wat Cameron. who inaugu rated tho syatom of arbitrary arrests foropin iofi’s'sake, and incarcerated free white Amer ican citizens in hastilos, because they refused to coincide in the opinion that this war was tiftje waged for the sole purpose of giving freedom to four millions of Ignorant slaves Remember too, that Cameron’s attempt to foist himself info a seat in the United: States Senate, by resorting to bribery, was known to all the Republican members of the Legis lature. They nominated the ofd corruption- ist because they believed ho bad succeeded in bribing Mr. Boyer to bis support. Came ron’s infamous attempt, therefore, was endorsed and approved by the Republican members'of the two Houses, and they.and their party must carry the infamy of the base transaction. Mr. Boyer deserves the thanks of the peo- ple of the State for exposing Cameron’s in famous conduct. The. old sinner has been caught at last; twice he bought himself into the United States Senate, but in this third attempt he Ims been foiled, and the finger of scorn will hereafter point at him wherever ho goes. . " And this is the bold, bad man, we say, who with tlio permission of the potty tyrant, Lincoln, dragged thousands of men from their homes like felons, without Warrant or civil process, and incarcerated them in forts and prisons, until some were driven to insan ity and suicide, and to bo at last turned out without trial nnU without accusations of tiny kind appearing against them ! The pretext given for the arrest of these citizens—for thus shutting up mon in distant forts and prisons, without any process of law whatever ; —was as contemptible as it was false. , ‘‘They were suspected of disloyalty,” was about the only answer that could he extorted from the authorities at Washington in explanation for these outrages. Disloyalty, indeed 1 Why, the most disloyal men our country, ever pro duced are the traitors now at lhe head of our National affairs. They have violated their oaths and trampled the Constitution under their feet. They are disunionista, and no rebel in arms ever aimed more fatal blows against the Union and the Constitution.— Look at, Cameron’s confession to Mr. Dover. lie said, “ the entire state of affairs of this Government will,be'changed ; nothing is more certainthan that the South will gain her'fnde pendence, and then we (the Abolitionists, ).will hold the control of the Government, and I will be able to serve mg friends !” Had a Demo crat.used language like this when Cameron was Secretary of War, how quick would he have been picked up and escorted to a prison. This opinion expressed by Cameron, is. not merely his own. We have good evidence for saying that the President and his Cabinet and all leading Abolitionists hoUFthe same views, and have really determined to recognise'the Southern Confederacy. They don’t want to appear in a hurry about this business, for they desire to deceive the people as much as possible, so that they may continue to “,ho!d the control of the government;” and thus he able to “serve their friends.” This war has about accoomplished the objects the Abolitionists had in view when they and their twin-traitors in Sodth Carolina com menced it. They have stolen thousands of slaves—about all they can got—and have robbed the Government until there is nothing more te steal. They are through, therefore, and are now ready to recognise the rebolsand declare peace. Still, they are looking ahead,' and desire to “hold the control of the Gov ernment," so that they may continue to tax the people and rob them. Was there ever a party that more richly deserved tho execra tions of the people ? ' What Oumbeuland Pays. —We learn from tho Auditor General’s Ecport that the pay ments into the State Treasury, from Cumber land county, during tho last year, were as follows Tax on corporation stocks, $ 4,044 10 Tax on real and personal estate, 44,015 41 Tavern licenses, “ , 2,271 25 Retailers’ license, 4,194 23 Sample licenses, 259 00 Brokers’ licenses, 185 59 Distillery and brewery licenses, 118 7,5 Billiard room, bowling saloon, and ten-pin alley licenses, 182 08 Eating bouse licenses, 531 50 Pamphlet laws, 7 00 Militia, tax, . .. 804 88 Tax on writs, wills, &c., 055 32 Collateral inheritance tax, 2,443 25 Tax on enrollment of laws, 10 00 Banks paying interest on public debt equivalent to specie, ■ 275 00 Free banking system, 223 75 Tax on brokers and private bankers, 113 47 The Result of NequoisM. —An empty Government Treasury ; not a dollar in it.— So say the Press, the Now York Eoening Post, and Republican members of Congress. One hundred and fifty millions of dollars now duo find asking payment; upwards of fifty millions due the bravo and gallant sol diers, hundreds of thousand of whom have not received a cent of pay for six months. Government paper money greatly under par —it requiring $l4B of legal tender “ green backs” to equal §lOO in gold. “ Push on tho war," —“ no compromise,” —“ to talk of pence is treason,” —the negro must be set free, no matter what tho cost of money and life is to the white man.” Such is the cry of Sumner, Greeley, Hickman & Co. Alas for our misgoverned country 1 Emancipation in Missouri. —ln- response to an inquiry from Washington, asking the Missouri Assembly to fix the sum necessary to compensate the slaveholders of that State, resolutions have been offered in the House, asking for twenty-five, thirty .and fifty mill , ions of dollars. They might -as well doable the amount, for unless they get it in Govern ment greenbacks during the Lincoln reign, they never will. All sdfch contracts will bo repudiated just So sure as they are made.- The North’ will never submit to be taxed to buy niggers. If Missouri wants bet niggors freed lot her take the responsibility herself. Tho following extract from tho debates in the national 'Honso of -Representatives, on Thursday Inst, on the bill before tho Commit tee of the Whole to “ provide ways and moans for tho support of government,” may be rend usefully in nil the grain growing and grazing sections of tho country. Iti one way it shows whoso interest it.is, and whose' it is not, to prolong tho war; Mr. Cox (Doth., Ohio,) 1 moved’ to amend’by making the revenue payable-in legal tender, ns he said proforma, to "express Wa fear of the eflect of increasing paper money upon Western interests. ,Ho hiuf always opposed its issue. Ylo now opposed, it; because every dollar of new issue burdened the West by in creasing the protection to New England manufao tuyeres. The customs being paid in coin,, the* price of coin, goes up as paper .mon ey increases, and the price of coin enters in to the price of the article upon which tiiere is a money tax. The consumer pays 3fc.- For instance, the importer purchase 1 dol lar’s worth of prints in England. When he enters them for consumption ho pays 30 per cent. duty. This he" adds to the original purchase, making §1,30. He also adds the differonco.in exchange, 60 per cent, making —with the first cost and duty—sl,9o. On ‘ this sum he charges His profit of 10 per cent, or 19 cents, which makes §2,09. On this sum the retailer adds his profits of 20 per cent, or 42 cents, making the cost to the con sumer §2,51. Thus, under the present tariff and paper-money system, the manufacturer gets an actual protection of 150 per. cent.— Do you wonder that the manufacturers of Massachusetts', divide their regular 10 per cent, and from 20 to 66 per cent, extra on the Ist ot January? The Maumkoag Mills of Salem divided 66 per cent, extra, and the Peppcrill Mills at Eiddeford, Maine, divided 50 per cent, extra. - -Many other mills divide large extras at the same time. Do you Wonder that certain per sons in Massachusetts want the war to con tinue for selfish purposes? These and other facts ffliew limy the agricultural interests are impoverished, and how the life blood is sucked by these manufacturing vampires frorif the veins of-labor through a. high tariff, and in inconvertible paper money. Agriculture gets lie protection. Its surplus above domestic consumption seeks a foreign market, and receives no ben efit from prohibitive or protective tariffs or from-tin inflate currency. Hence agricultu ral products do not rise. Let this process go on a few years, and the wealth of the West will he transferred to the .pockets of New England monopolists and capitalists. This is a poor way to sustain the credit of a gov ernment which depends on taxes, confidence, and union. It is n poor return for the patri otic devotion of the West tp the .'Republic!— If such a policy prevail, it will increase and, not mitigate the feeling in the West against Now England; I speak this in warning and earnest devotion to the whole Union. ; Fitz-Joiin Porter Founu Guilt v and Dis missed; —Tho New-York Tribune has a spe cial dispatch from Washington, stating, con trary to the general belief, that'the Court Martial before which Geri. Fite-John Porter was tried, had found him guilty on everyone of the charges prefered against him, which wore for disobedience of orders and cowar dice in the face of the. enemy, and that the President has approved the findings, and or dered the sentence of dismissal from the ser vice to be carried into execution against him. Fltz-Jobn Porter was a cadet from Hew- Hampshire, leaving the Military Academy in 1845. He was made First Lieutenant in 1847, and the,same year Brevet captain ror gallant conduct in the battle of Molino del Key. At the battle of Ohepultepoo he won the honors of Brevet Major. He was wound ed at tho Belen gate, at the taking of the City of Mexico. After peace with Mexico, ho was Assistant Instructor of Artillery at the West Point Academy up to the commencement of the present rebellion. [C7*“ Support the Administration,” is the. cry of Forney and other blood-suckers.-—. What!—lend support to this administration, indeed !—to this administration, which has trampled under foot tho rights Of States and of citizens ; which has obliterated State lines; and erected new Commonwealths in defiance of the Constitution ; which has nullified tho decisions.of tho Supreme Court,.recklessly squandered the money and lives of pur peo ple, bankrupted tbe treasury, annihilated one grand army and is rapidly destroying an other—to this corrupt, faithless, arbitrary and imbecile administration, which has tar 'nithed tho honor and threatens the.very life of tho nation. Never! No honest man or lover of his country can do that. War Power Currency'. —A, good joke was practiced cn the woollies in Havana, Schuyl er county, N. Y., recently. An old chap, not worth a red, issued a batch of shin plaster B which he made payable at the Havana Bank. One of the bigwhigs of the place, a Senator and stockholder, mot the joker one day and commenced lecturing him on tho impropriety and illegality of his conduct, winding up with, “You have no legal or moral right to issue them—how, then, can you do it?” “Do it, Senator,” replied tho cheap currency man, “do it—why I do it under tho wap power.” There was no more said. A Righteous, Move.— A resolution has been introduced into the House at Harrisburg, inquiring into the why and wherefore our volunteers have not been paid, and setting forth the consequent suffering endured by their families at home. This is right. It seems necessary that some moans should he adopted to draw tho attention of the law breakers at Washington from their “pet lambs,”.tho “American citizens of African descent,” in order to bestow an act of com mon justice to tbe white man. §60,935 18 That’s So.—We occasionally hear of a Re publican who says ho is no abolitionist, and who yet approves of emancipa tion proclamation. Mr. Cox, of Ohio, says ho can see no difference between the republi canism that sustains emancipation proclama tions, and the real,4)ld, genuine, Congo aboli tionism. They are links of the same sausage, made out of the same dog.

Attempt to Bribe a Member of tbc Legisialnrc. astounding developments Gen. Cameron’s, Operations to Effeci his Election <io the U. S. Senate I Statement nt T. Jeffers on «oy «r, member of Assembly from Clearfield County; As many rumors are afloat in regard to cer tain transactions which took place between General Cameron hnd’rayself on several oc- casions previous to tho late election of United States Senator, I think it my duty to make a plain, unvarnished statement of the facts, so that there may he hereafter no misunder standing or misrepresentation. Believing that there would, ho attempts to bribe mem bers in order to dpfeat tho election of a Democrat, I conceived tho project of putting myself in tho way of tho operators and trying how far they were disposed to go in tho matter. Once conceived, I determined to net upon it, and communicated my inten tion to several friends. Tho first opportuni ty that offered I embraced— and bore is tho result: . I had been to Philadelphia, and on my return, perhaps a week or more before , the election, I, met Mr. Win. Brobst, of Lewis burg, with whom I was acquainted, at the Pennsylvania House, in Harrisburg, for the first time this winter, and noticed sumo Unu sual nervousness-,on his . part, and from his conduct waa sooa led to su.ipeot that his business nt Harrisburg was notof a very public character. In the afternoon ho came to mo and asked to see me privately, and we pro ceeded at once to my room, where ho’very' sOon commenced disparaging the several prominent Democratic candidates'for United States Senator, and concluded by expressing his decided preference , for Gon. Simon Cam eron'. This', of .course, left mo no room to doubt the object of bis visit to the State Capitol'arid to mo; and I at once asked him whether that was the object of bis visit. He said it was. In reply to my question, wheth er General Cameron Authorized him'to come to mo in this way,, lie said ho was authorized by Cameron to seif any Democrat, of the House or Senate, arid outer into the, prelimi nary arrangements to secure a vote for Cam eron. I then nsked him in what manner they expected to secure the election of Cam eron. lie answered, "by getting three Democrats to absent themselves on the day. of tho election.” ■ I then asked him what they would pay. He said tie was authorized by Cameron to offer $5,000. I told hini the figures were too low, and desired him to tell me who the other members wore. This he refused to do at .the time,, but would try. and get permission of his principal to do so. Ho then left, and returned,in a short time, and said that Genera!Cameron wanted to see mo, personally, at his residence out of the city that evening. I told him I could not make the engagement, but would answer him in one hour, and,if I could get clear of another engagement I had mad&, I would go with him, In the, meantime with Dr. Earley, of the House of Representatives, my colleague, to whom I related the foregoing facts. I then saw Brobst again and told him I would go. He told mo he would have a carriage read£> in front of Herr’s Hotel at 7 o’clock ; that he was authorizod-by -Cameron to get a Car riage at any timq, When the time arrived Dr. Earley and, myself walked down to Herr’s .and, savplfhe carriage and Brobst there. . I then made some'excuse to-wjruum., and told him it 'would he best not to gq. ■ (I doomed it prudent at this slate of the pro ceedings not to manifest too much eagerness, lest I might defeat the object jn view.) The next day ho (Brobst) called and said Camer on wanted fo see me at the State Capitol Bank. I called, and was ushered into a back room of the bank, and found Cameron there alone. He addressed mo as follows : “Boyer, dp you think you could have cour age enough to vote fur me ?’J I answered that it was a very businesslike question, and that it would depend very much on circumstances. He then said, “ suppose the circumstances are all right V Tasked him how. ho meant “ all right.” Ho answered, “the financial consideration; iu short, the dollars and cents.” I answered him, “ certainly.” He then asked mo what I would take. I told, him I had not been in this business long, arid did not know exactly how to answer, but wished him to name the sum. He asked what I thought of §lO,OOO, “right down, after the work was done.” - I then asked him, whether he wanted a vote or an absen tee. He answered, “a vote,” and that, it would ho very troublesome to got the men away, and besides ho only regarded tho mon ey paid as the first instalment, and that he felt in duty bound to take care of tho person that made him Senator afterwards, and, if ho had so many to take care of, it would embarrass him, but if ho had but,one he could do it well and profitably as long as wo. 1 lived; and said besides, there would be no more danger in voting directly for him than in being absent, for they would make every provision for the protection of the man 1 that would vote;for, him. This ended tho interview, and ,we agreed to meet again to fix'the compensation.. The next day he . sent Brobst for me. I declined going to soo him,-hut agreed to see him at my room, No. 15 Pennsylvania House. Mr. Brobst, who was still, up to this time, figuring for Simon, went after him, and in less than twenty minutes returned with him. Camer on then said, “ Well, lot’s come to ah under standing." I said, “ What for ?” He an swered, “ In reference to the Senatorial ques tion.” I then said, “I must have $15,000." He said, “ I will give it,” and Wanted to know who I would prefer to arrange further interviews arid do the financiering of the business. I told* him my limited knowledge of his friends did not enable me to name that person. Ho then proposed Jim Burns. I said ho would do. He then loft, stating that he.was going to Philadelphia to arrange another )i;atter which Tie had in view, and would return on Saturday evening. This was on Wednesday. On Thursday I root John J. Patterson. Ho desired to see me, and asked me to call at his room nt Herr’s Hotel. Whoa I met him, T asked him where Burns was? Ho told mo he was sick. He then said, “ Boyer, the money will be all right.” I asked him, “ What money ?” Ho then said, “ Oh, 1 know all about it; I saw Cameron.” (I must not forget to state here that, prior to ray meeting Patterson Brobst told me Pat terson wanted to see me on that busi ness,) and, by Cameron’s arrangement, lie would go down in tho cars on tho Leba non Yalley road on Friday at 2 o’clock, arid that wo would go together and. settle the en tire affair. Wo meet according to arrangement; and, in tlio baggage apartment of the New York car, concluded the bargain for 920,000 for a vote tor General Simon Cam£tm for the of fice of D. S. Senator, with the agreement that no other member should be bought, and that this should end the matter—-provided Came ron would agree to the terms, and deposit the th'o hands of Patterson, to be paid to mo immediately after the election was over, and that the two members (with whom Patterson and Cameron was also in treaty) who wore in the oars on their Way to Philadelphia,' should return on Saturday.— •Wo considered the foot that, if they were sent off, the House would not go into an election, and our agreement could not be consumma ted. This statement seemed to determine liis mind in favor of tlio arrangement. Pat terson wont immediately-to Cameron, who wnsin the car, and returned in n few minutes, stating that, although Cameron regarded tho price, hip, lie would pay it in order to save I further trouble, and would, therefore, not say anything to tho members then on their way to Philadelphia, and that they might re turn, and thus prevent any disarrangement of tho plan that might arise from (heir ab sence. Saturday evening whs then agreed upon ns tho time for the next interview. I stopped at Rending; so did Pattoraon, who returned that sanjo evening to Harrisburg.— Cameron wont to Philadelphia. I came up on Saturday, evening, and found Cameron on the train ns well as at least one of tho men who went to Philadelphia the day before, and I think both. At the depot at Harrisburg, ! met Patterson, who said the interview would (bo at Don Cameron’s. Accordihgly Patter son and myself went direct to the house, and found the General there ahead of us. He in vited us up stairs, and by a dismal light, wo agreed upon tho price, viz i Cameron nssen-. ted to fßi* bargain between Patterson and myself by agreeing to- pay tho §20,000—§5,- 000 of which was to bo paid in- band—and would deposit it in Patterson’s hands in my presence at some futurejfcwview, subject to my inspection. A Httl(Wli((pnt which oc curred hero it would hoßp!tjj{fa9 lose to tho world.. After the bargauf wjis concluded Si mon straightened up on his chair, rubbing his logs with his hands, saying: “ Well, this ends it. I will bo Senator and you shall nev er regret it”—(addressing himself to me) — “ I will bo the most powerful man in that Senate; the entire state of affairs of this Gov-, eminent will be changed ; nothing is more' certain than that the South will gain her in dependence, (this sounded like treason,) and then wo will hold the control of the Govern ment and I will be able to serve my friends;” and so we parted again, to dream of South ern Confederacies and Winnebagoos for Sen ator. Patterson and I then agreed to meet on Monday. We mot at 5 o’clock, in Patterson’s room at .Herr’s, bn Monday afternoon. Here Pat terson told mb ho had the $5,000 hand monev' looked Up in-the safe dbwiustai^3, : but wanted mo to see Simon again before paying it over tome. I insisted on the hand money. This I deemed necessary to keep up the delusion. Wo then parted to meet, at the same place early the next morning. Immediately after breakfast On. Tuesday, (the day of the elec tion,) I mot Patterson, according to agree ment, at his roonr, Simon being prosopt, ly ing on the,bed’, complaining of a disease of tho bowels. It was then desired that I. should see some Roiublicamnember of the Senate or IIouso) who would be sent to mb, inform him of my .willingness to vole for Cameron in case ho was nominated, To. this I made some pretended objection and demanded to know, the necessity for it. Simon said it was this, that unless I did this they might think he just wanted their'd—d nomination-tor effect, which was not true. He declared he would not have the nomination and a defeat for the; whole Legislature. So, of course, I consent ed, and the voting price was voluntarily raised §5,000., Patterson snld the gentleman who would Walt on mb there, was-Dr. Puller, of the Senate, who would bo present ns soon, as I was ready to receive him. I said that was all right, but must now be convinced that the money was all right too. Patterson then hurriedly showed me a largo bundle of notes, which he represented as being the amount of the final payment, Ho assured mo the day , before I should have tho hand money, and again on Tuesday morning said I could have it. I told him 1 deemed it bet ter, on reflection, not to have it about me,, inasmuch ns there might be a row after the. election, and said I would trust it to them, (Pnttorson.and Cameron,) knowing them to Be honest. Patterson,again assured mo the hand money was down in the safe, and, to gether with the residue, should bp fortboom hovo state it did not come.y Cameron, then sdid his carriage would bo at the State Capi tal Bank after the election, and! should come right down and go over to his house,and ro : main there awhile,. This, of course, I agreed to do, (but did not.), . - Now, then, all things being arranged, Dr. Puller was ushered in by Patterson, The in troduction completed, I said: “ Doctor, I pre sume I understand tho object of this inter view.” Ho then paid : “l am chairman ofa committee appointed by the Republican cau cus to wait on you to see whether you would vote for Cameron.” I said “ Yes; I assure vou that if you nominate Gen. Cameron (pointing to the old Winnebago lying on the bed) it will be all right." He saidf “ You give mo that assurance?” I said “Yes.”— Dr. F. then said; " You need have no fears of personal danger, or anything of that sort. We have made every provision to meet all danger.” Thus the last scone in this strange farce ended. Simon assured me that he would be over grateful, and I hope he. will. It is proper here to say that during this entire adventure with Simon and his agents, my colleague, Dr. Ealey, .W. A. Wallace,: the Senator from Clearfield, and Robert Yangn, tho proprietor of the Pennsylvania House, in this city, were in tho secret, and Dr. Early, especially, know constantly what was going on. In one of my interviews with Patterson, on the cars going to reading, ho said in case there should any investigation grow out of tho transaction he would ho tho only witness that knew anything about it, and ho would swear falsely and put.it through. In. regard to tho dates given in the above statement, as I made no memoranda, at the time, 1 cannot be certain that, they are cor rect, but I believe they are. T.

Republican Logic.— -The Boston Post thus disposes of the Republican doctrine that sla very was the cause of the war: “If there wore no negro slavery, they say, there certainly would have been no war, and therefore slavery was the cause.

GIRD OF. F. W. HUGHES, ESQ. TO MY DEMOCRATIC FRIENDS IN PENNSYLVANIA, Tlio sympathy enlisted in hiy behalf, ho enuso ot the Abolition persecution through which I have paagod, nnd my knofrn views in regard to the future of our afllfeted and miegovorned country h ns evoked oppressions of regret for my defeat in, the recent contest for the United States Soni>v, r< Dot mo as sure you that you have but litii 0 occasion for any regret on t|mt account, but great cause for congratulation that a gontlemk 0 0 f Sll ch surpassing ability and sound Constitutional and State rights views as the Hon. Charles R. Buokalew has boon selected. I comparatively little other feeling or anxiety on the subject of mf election, than that per '* chance I might in the position sought, bo the humble instrument under Providence in serving my native State and our common country. I believe that God bas engraven on the face of this Western Continent, so legibly that all should read it, that the territory from the mouth of the Mississippi to the head waters of its tributaries, as well as such ns flank this spa’co and afford outlets to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans must bo for ovfer governed so as to confer on every part free commercial intercourse throughout the whole, and unobstructed navigation of its in land waters. So. too,.such country should always bo provided with means for common defence and “to promote the general wel fare.” The Union ns it was and the Constitution ns it. is, would best accomplish all this, if Abolitionism would permit. While our national glory would bo best promoted by the preservation of our present political relations with the New England 'States, yet if they will'insist upon the destruc tion of the Union by the subjugation of the Southern States or by their separation from them, I am ready to yield to the latter rather than to the former of such alternatives. The New England States constitute the seat where the' doctrine of Secession was first asserted, they are the hot-bed in which has been' propogated all the heresies that have pfodheed national discord—they are ,our rivals, in commerce and manufactures, and the sacrifice of submitting to their separation from us would be much less than that of our separation from the .great South arid West. It is impossible for the Western States even to permit the control of the mouth of the Mississippi to bo lodged in the hands of an independent government. Their destiny is inexorably linked with a free tran sit through the great inland navigable waters that river and its tributaries afford. The future prosperity of Pennsylvania is alike dependent on. her connexion with the great West. Without professing to know the views of Mr. Buckalow on these points; yet my confi dence in his devoted patriotism and compre hensive stitcsmanship gives mo assurance that he does not essentially differ'from these above stated. I know that he condemns the Constitution and Union destroying.policy of the 'Abolitionists, I am quite confident ho agrees with- mo that the measures and policy now directed by Abraham Lincoln, more than any other, have brought us tb our im pending ruin. Ho has the ability to present in the—still the Senate of the United States, the solemn protest of Pennsylvania against these measures and policy, and I trust, thocourage and energy to see that such pro test is not in vain. There is yet'abundant vtfbrk for the true men of Pennsylvania to do, to protect her true-interests and maintain the identity of her political and natural bonds. To this good work .I shall, as heretofore, devote my. humble efforts P. w. HUGHES, PoTfsviiiLE, January 14tb, 18C3. . rW'XSHTfrOTOK - uoocirv- correspondent of, -the. "New York;-Herald!, in his letter of the 21st inst., notes down ns follows:’ . ■ Mr. Hurtlin'', (Union) of ,Ky., said the President’s emancipation proclamation had united the South, as ho had predicted, like one man, and paralyzed the efforts of loyal men, so as to leave little hope of the restora tion of the Union. The President had final ly yielded his former position to the influence of persistent radicals. The proclamation was a‘war on the constitution. It was nothing but bold and absolute.assumption of despotic power, which would, wrest from the .peo ple the right of self government. No State could bo safe with such d power suspended over it. No stronger disunion "doctrine was ever issued in this, county. Those who sanctioned it were ready to yield their liberty and confess themselves slaves. He spoke about arbitrary arrests, &0., aiM said any man in the Executive Departmortwho usurp ed power under ■ the miserable," detestable subterfuge of-military necessity, deserves to bo called tyrant. The abolition creed was short, bnt full of horror and blood. The se cessionists furnished the fire and the aboli- tionists the fuel to kindle the conflagration now .'Weeping through the land. Withdraw the fuel and the fife' would soon burn out. Ho had no hhpo of re-union under the present radical policy. The democratic party of the North and South would crush out, both aboli tionists and secessionists; and snatch tho government from ruin. ■ • ■ The Progbamme op the Radicals. —It is understood that Mr. Wade is recognized as the leader, of the republicans in Congress. Tho radicals demand the execution of their whole programme ns to both civil and milita ry ofticers. Some of them are determined to sacrifice patriotism, loyalty, usefulness and efficiency to partisan feeling. They denounce conservatism ns treason, and will have ultra ism predominant at all hazards, oven if their dominion is to be confined only to tho limits of New England. Ketoited Dismissal op Gen. Eitz" John PonTEitFROM TEE Army. —lt is statdethat not withstanding tho intimations that the find ings of tho Court in Pitz John Porter’s oeas were favorable, the President, upon a review of tho findings of tho Court and tho testimo ny, has dismissed General Porter from the army. This decision, if it be true, is unex-, pectod. It was believed that hisviridication was complete, and tho result is regarded more as another blow at General McClellan than a condemnation of General Porter." Tho friends of General McClellan are unfor tunate, arid they are stricken down for their friendship to him while tho power that strikes can reach no nearer to tho object of tho blows. ■ Is there any DIFFERENCE ?—The Presi dent orders the execution of 37 Indians, in Minnesota for murdering women and children in their savage warfare. This was right and his notion will receive general applause.;— But stop 1 Ho immediately issues a procla mation calling upon three millions of barba rous negro slaves to rise in insurrection, he knowing that such rising is always accom panied with the murder and ravishment of women and the slaughter of children and other noneombatnnts, lie commands the army and navy of the United States to do nothing to repress any means the negroes may take to recover their freedom 1 Why should he hang Indians for doing in Minne sota what ho wants the negroes to do in the South ? O’ Among the prisoners captured at Ar, kansas Post wore one general, ton colonols ton lieutenant colonels, ten majors, one hun dred captains, nearly two hundred lieuten ants, and a lot of adjutants, quartermasters, surgeons and staff officers. Jeff. Davis will probably now bo willing to exchange, _ in stead of putting in force the threats contained in his proclamation.

After eking out a little more revenge, renting a littlo more spleen, wasting a little more grill, arid lotting off a little more gas, this will bo tho result-. They are paving the way for it now. Thaddeus Stevens, their lender in the House, said in a ,speech on the Bth inst., tlint “ tho States in rebellion wore out of tho Union and wo musttreri'|them ns an independentnation." Do the rankest secessionists claim more ? This is out-spoken, downright secession and the bloodiest rebels ask but this and nothing more. The die ioo«ot,.thollubieon is crossed, and tho Abolition chieftain from the opposite shore, is calling to all his timid followers:— “ Why linger shivering on the brink, And fear to launch away ?” ;—Somerset Democrat. ■ llaye we a Goternment I The ardent Republicans who used to go about the streets asking Democrats, “Have wo a government,” can, by looking over the President’s last emancipation proclamation, find oh answer to their questions. Yes, we have a Government, or at least,"the President distinctly affirms that wo have ; and what, in it ? “ The executive Government of the Uni ted States, including the military and naval authorities thereof.!' We used to thank we had it Govern ment consisting of a Legislative, Judioiary.and Executive branch. Soon after Lincoln’s inauguration, wo were, told that the administration was the Government. And. now we have it officially announced that wo have an “ Executive Government.” “The Executive Government of the United State” what is it ? " I Abraham Lincoln,. President,” the military and naval authorities er-in-.Chiof of the army , and navy.”—Thi»' then is the “ Executive Government.” Gov ernment includes the ideas of law making expounding and law executing. Of course all those powers are vested in this “ Executive Government.” Otherwise it is no Government, This will account for President Lincoln’s extra ordinary exercise of power heretofore unknown to theexeoutivo Dopartmentof the Government of the United States. —-Danville Intelligencer.
