Thistle is now in irons at harraoks. Ve have-not seen him, but learn from those who have, that ho is quite a young man, say 25 years of ago, uneducated and uimplo.

That is doing vfcry well, but if a few Democrats would take an inter est in the matter, otirlistof subsdribers could, with all case, be doubled in a few weeks.— During these times of double-dealing and treachery, fraud and corruption, Democratic papers should circulate freely with the peo ple. Will not our friends make an effort to swell our subscription'list? C 7” Wo have, received a letter from a num ber of the soldiers of the 84th Reg. P.

It always gives us pleas ure to do anything in opr power in behalf of our soldier boys, and as scon as-we received their letter wo made the necessary inquiries at the proper offiico. Our County Commis sioners admit that they did offer to pay and did pay $5O bounty to-rrew recruits in 1862, but to those,only who were sworn into-tho ser vice prior to the 20th of August of said yean' Those therefore, who enlistad'after the 20th of August cannot claim tho bounty offered by the County. We regret that we are com pelled to make this imndneement, but as friends of the 84tb ask for information on which they can rely, wo give them tjie naked facts. Election- in Senator White’s District.— The Harrisburg correspondent of "tyo Phila-i delphia Inquirer, writing under date of Jan, 30, says > 11 A f° r a new election in tho Indiana District was certainly issued by the Speaker of the Senate a few'days ago. The Sergearit at-Arms is now absent, it is supposed as a bearer of the writ to the Sheriff of Armstrong. It is said that the Sheriff, who isa Democrat, will not recognize the writ.” Should the Sheriff of Armstrong Co., “who is a Democrat," refuse ’’to recognize the bo gus writ of “ Speaker” Penney, he wilj be (.doing his duty ’and fulfill his oath. Mr. Penney Speaker of tho Senate, and has no.morre right to issue a writ than any other Senator.

All honor tQ the unbought Democracy rOf Lancaster,- *, THE DAVIS EXPULSION BESOLimOfI. - ’For tho last two or, three weeks.the Uni ted States Senate has been engaged in dis- cussing a resolution (offered by the notorious Wilson of Massachusetts,) for the expulsion of Senator DAVJS’of K&ntucky, because be, in his temerity, and in tho presence of tho august Abolition fanatics who are largely in tho majority in that body, offered a series of resolutions sharply arraigning the adminis- tration for its unlawful and unconstitutional. acts. ’Tho resolutions, as presented by Sen- ator Davis, indicated.a warm and ardent love of country, but denounced tho doings of tho imbeciles in power as calculated and in- tended to usurp the Constitutional liberties of tho people and to strike down their denr osfc rights. For offering resolutions contain- ig these sentiments, tho fanatical majority at once bristled up and demanded his expul sion from their body. They appear to hold to the doctrine that all Senators .'must come doSvn to Th'eif level and think and vote a’o they do, or leave. Strictures on the thieving, truckling, and treasonable administration, is branded as “ disloyalty” by those pinks of morality and honor, Sumner, Wilson, An thony and Jim Lane ! The resolution for the expulsion of tho Kentucky Senator, we repeat, has been un der discussion for two weeks or more, during Chairman which time ,the rights and privileges of a Senator wore fully sot forth In a number of able speeches. Tho remarks of Senators i Johnson of Maryland, "Powell of Ky., and others, against the proposed expulsion of Mr. 1 Davisj were powerful, crushing and wilting. The Jacobin Senators—those petty tyrants who ape greatness and put on airs that are disgusting to statesmen—quailed and cowed under tho well-directed blows that wore hurled against their impudent attempt at as sumption of power, anti on (Thursday last/Ac resolution for the expulsion of Mr. Davis was 'loiihdraxim by Wilson, who hdd offered it. — Thus ends the farce and the two or three weeks discussion. Wo desire to call attention to a portion of tho speech delivered in opposition to the ex pulsion of Mr. Davis, by Senator Hale of N. 11. Mr. Hale, it is well known, is a leading Abolition Senator; he has been in the Sen ate for many years, and wh.en he first en tered it he was wo believe, the only open and avowed Abolitionist in that body. He is tho Senator who “has great influence with the Secretary of War,” and whoso magic pow er can throw open prison doors and set apo litical -prisoners free without a bearing or trial, provided always that said prisoners are able to pay two or three thousand dollars for the privileges granted them ! Senator Hale is at the head of the heap and a big dog un ' der the wagon at present. From his speech, ' then, on this subject, wo take tho following extracts. Mr. Ha>ls said : ‘O. Moore, Vr&s'U “Now, Mr. President, for myself I confess that I feel peculiarly sensitive on this sub ject. I came into this body some sixteen years ago or more, without the -sympathy of a single member on this lloor ; and I hardly ever met a responsive glance from the galle ries. J stood here with nobody in the -Sen ate or out of the Senate to sympathize with me; and .if this doctrine had* prevailed that for the utterance of sentiments obnoxious tc the majority of the body a man might bo cen sured or expelled, 1 should have have been censured or expelled the first month that 1 was upon this ‘floor. Sir, I have denounced the action of this Government, of the Senate,' and of the House of -Representatives, and of the President, as being such as was eminent ly calculated to proVolce the scorn of earth and the judgment of Heaven. I have said that, and I have said a great deal more than that, and under like circumstances I would say it again. But, sir, I will do the credit to the party th-at-then ruled thc Senato to say that the idea that for the utterance of those sentiments I was subjecting myself to expul sion ur to censure noverenterediuio my bead or my heart. In -a few years there-were others who came here who occupied the same position that I did. Wo were under the ban and the op probrium and the reproach of both the polit ical parties that werc.contcnding for the ma jority here and in the country. My honora ble friend from Massachusetts [Mr Sumn.er]- came. Who more obnoxious thap ho ? No body,’ un/ess it might hare been and that not because I was a worse, but an older sinner tuat he was. Notwithstanding that, wo warejoined anon after by one or two oth ers; the honorable Secretary of the treasury first, and then the honorable Secretary of State, who came on this floon. “ almost per suaded to bo a Christian,' ” [laughter;] be cause ho was ready to go with us in every m.easure of opposition to the slave-power and to its encroachments, when it did not conflict with the policy of the Whig party. ■•[Renew ed laughter.] i had no -such -qualification, and my honorable friend from Massachusetts had none such. We-stood-up alone here, and wo battled as wo might for that freedom of debate which is the birthright of an Ameri can Senator. You must not bo-tco-censori ous, too much inclined to find'fault, tco much Inclined to vioit your censures and 3 r our de nunciations-upon those who. differ from you. TV X "K -X X- X X- # Aa I said at the beginning, the question whether we agree with him, whether in ,our judgment his resolutions are true or false, whether they tend to sedition, or what not, is not for ns to say. It was a declaration of tho great apostle of American Democracy that error might be safely tolerated while truth was left free to combat it; and, sir, in my humble judgment, the truth, and the simple truth,-wielded by the able men who sit around mo, is the appropriate pnd legiti mate and the senatorial -manner and the sen atorial weapon with which tho errors of tho Senatorfrom XCentdcky, if errors he has com mitted, are to be met. Mr. President,-I have said thus much, itid X do not moau to say more, because T have felt from tho-beginning of my entrance on this floor that the freedom of debate in tho Senate should bo maintained at all hazards and under all circumstances ; and no matter if with tho fastidiousness of a lawyer, we may point out everywhere that has been pointed out in the resolutions of the Senator from Kentucky, I ask you at last, what-are yoii going to censure him for ? Isot because he has uttered’sentiments that tend to rev olution and that tend to sedition, - but be cause in your judgment he hai done it. In his own judgment he Has not done it. Now, sir, it is tho first time I over he'ard that-any body in a public -assembly having made statements upon which a construction was put, was-not-fit liberty to disclaim the at tempt to put ‘a meaning upon his words which lie disavowed. I think, sir, it would be the most danger ous precedent that is to be found in the leg; islativo history of our country, if the Senate of the United States, for words spoken or, written, however obnoxious they-may be, should exercise this high prerogative of ex pelling or censuring the- men who uttered or wrdt.c thorn, olt would be a confession of weakness before the country and.the world that we should not make. BvU disposed men would siezo upon r and they would say: “There was that So- tor from Kentuc ky ; he introduced'ioac ,ious which you could not answer ; he introduced resolutions arraigning yon and your President, and there was not a man of you that could answer them, and so you held your jieac'o and voted him out of tlib Senate.” No wonder Mr. Hale felt '• peculiarly sen sitive on the subject,’’.for it is true as he says, that “ if this doctrine had prevailed, that for the utterance of sentiments obnox ious to the majority of the body, a man might be censored or expelled,’' ho (Halo,) would have “ boon censured or expelled the first month ho was upon the floor.” And the same would have boon Sumner’s fate. In deed, it would'havo\)oen the fate of nearly every Abolition Senator, for it is patent to all that these very men have been mo'st bit ter,,vindictive and treasonable in speech against every Democratic administration.— During tho Mexican War, Ton Corwin of Ohio., (whp now holds office under Lincoln.) in bis place in the Senate, expressed the hope that the soldier? o'f our armies “ would •id met with bloody hands and welcomed to in hospitable graves.” This was rank, unadul terated treason, but no one thought of offer ing a resolution for tho expulsion ol that trai tor Senator. Nor was Corw;n alono in giv- ing “ aid and comfort to the enemy.” ’ Bur- ; linoame of Mass, (another office-holder un- * dor Lincoln,) gave tongue to the same tune,, and denounced the war and the then Presi dent (the patriot Polk,) anil urged our young men “ not to enlist in our armies.” Thes-o two men were the loaders of their party, and , they spoke for their coflcaguos, but yet no | motion to expel thorn was entertained. , And if we go back to.more remote history, wo find that the Federalists and Whigs did not hesitate to denounce, in terms of bitter ness, every -net a Democratic President whose opinions did not accord with their own. By a reference to the debates during the war of 1812, it will be found that hardly a subject was debated involving the policy of that war in which th 6 Executive We not de nounced in the roost acrimonious terms. — Still, no member of the House or Senate was expelled, nor were men put into prison be cause'of their opposition to the President; but “truth was left free to combat it.” — John Q. Adams, Seward, (our present “ loy al” Secretary of State,) Chase, (the “loyal” Secretary of the Treasury,) Hale, (who has -influence with our “ loyal” Secretary of , War,) have all, time ,and again, presented partitions in Congress praying for a dissolu tion of the Union, and they have voted to dis solve the. Union, and yet they were not ex pelled. And-, not a great many years ago, a 'certain rail-splitter from Illinois, a man 1 i with monstrous icet and little head, called ABRAHAM LINCOLN, held a seat in Con gress, and ho made a disunion speech, and in that speech boldly, and with treason in -lira heart and asp-like poison on his lips, dared, to propose a dissolution of the Union,, and ar gued that the people of any State lecling ag grieved, might, and should , go out of the Union and put the balance of the Statesabdc fiancc ! And even he was not expelled or oven censured by the House. Had bo fulminated such treason in England, or France, or Rus sia, his bead, would have been in danger; but here, in once free America, whore a free press and free speech has been, tmfis -no lon ger tolerated, the Democratic majority in Congress permitted even the treason of Lin coln to go unpunished. But, how is it now— now that Lincoln is President, and two men who voted for a dissolution of tho Union arc in 'the Cabinet ? We have nofroc press, no free speech,'no liberty, no law, no 'Constitution, no Union. Senators arc arraignedtfor speak ing “ disrespectfully” of the poor incompe tent in the White House, and others are crowded out ot the Senate because an impu dent majority of fanatics require the taking of a new and insulting and unlawful oath.— In the name of heaven, whither arc we drift ing ? Soldiers'Packages iiy Mail. —The Prcsi dent has signed the act recently passed by -Congress, providing that “articles of clothing, being manufactured of wool, cotton or linen, and comprised in a package not exceeding two pounds in weight, addressed to any noncom missioned officer or private serving in the armies the United States. Wybe trans mitted in lhe mails of the United States at tho rate of eight cents, to be in all cases prepaid for every four ounces, or any fraction-thereof, subject to shell regulations as the Postmaster General may prescribe,” Other materials than those above specified, if sent by mail,, must bo prepaid by stamps at-letter rates— three eeute for every half ounce or fraction thereof.

An Important Question. — As " Old Abo" has determined to he his own successor in the -Presidential chair, t’ho question begins to be seriously agitated in the minds of the peo ple, whether ho will not arrest and impris on, or sand into exile,-any one who attempts to run against him, on the charge of opposing " the Government?"

Cavalry;) ar rived at Harrisburg. Having re-enlisted for tjirce years more, they iroro granted a fur lough of thirty days, and ordered to our seat of Government to receivt their pay. Their journey had been along and tedious one, and tho officers and raonwc'c. almost exhausted^ for tho want of food nnc rest; but they bore up like true veterans, feeling sure that on their arrival at the home of Gov. Curtin, tho “ soldier’s friend,' " they world receive plenty to eat and .comfortable charters forest in.— They expected, poor fellows, a warm recep tion from thoSe in authority whoso duty it was to provide for their comfort. But, tho veterans wer* disappointed. On arriving at Harrisburg, cold, tired, hungry, and many of them sick, neither tho “ soldier’s friend or any body dsO mot them or ministered to their wants. They marched into town, head ed by bands tf music, and finally halted al most in the sladow of tho Executive Cham- her, but still 30 one hi authority recognised them. -Finally the brave boys became im patient, and commenced to clamor for l * Cur tin, quarter?;, and victuals.” At last the “soldier's friend” was roused from bis mor bid drowsiness, and he sent one of his nu merous-and well-fed Aids to the Colonels of the regiments, with instructions to march the men to Gamp Curtin! . The order was given, land the weary and soto*-£boted soldiers wore marched to said camp. The Camp waa in a ] dreadful condition —filthy, cold, and mud op to the knees. A few Md shanties, half-filled with water, and with no straw, wore the “ quarters” Abo soldiers were introduced to. No wonder they at once rebelled ; no wonder they cursed the “ soldier’s friend” and all in authority; no wonder they put their officers at defiance, to town, pellmoll, to heg something to cat from the citizens ; no wonder that, rather than inhale the miasma of Camp Curtin (camp mud-hole, would ho a hotter name,) they rested their weary bodies and aching bones all night upon the pave ments of Harrisburg and on the stopfe of the •Executive Department. •How different would have been the recep tion of these three years’ veterans had an el ection heen pending? Then Curtin, whose impudence prompted him to call himself the f * soldier’s friend,” would have met them, in company v\'itli his lazy staff, .at £he depot, and welcomed them home, in a speech filled with fulsome flattery. Ho would have re-, mined them of the groat affection ho felt for' thousand with honied words convitteed them that he was proud to bo copfciffoTOd their very anxious friend. Ko-w long tables ‘■frobld have Igroanod under the weight (iff good things sot ; before the soldiers, XT.uwr he. would have Caressed arid hugged thorn, and taken a “ smite” with them as'ofton as they desired. Comfortable •quarters, too, filled with straw ■and blankets, Avon Id have been provided for them; and Anally lie would have whispered in their ears that he was the true “soldier’s friend,” and a candidate for re-election!— This would have been Curtin's conduct, we 1 say, had his rc-e.leetiou been pending. But the election is over, and CnmN nogiects even his plain dn ty toward our bravos. Ho cares no more for the soldiers—now that the election is over—than he would fur so many dugs, and h'ta into conduct ie as disgraceful' as it is cold and heartless. A bnauty-indood, to style himself -the, “ snMlcr’s friend I” Ho is their friend when ho wants their support, but as 3?oartHas as a lizard when no votes are wanted. The “ soldier’s friend,” indeed ! ! Hah I The bad -treatment of the soldiers was loadc known to members jf tlio Legislature, when Mr. Hex, (Democrat, from Montgome ry,) offered-a resolution in the House, to the effect that the military authorities should make arrangements suitable to the proper accommodation of the soldiers, during .their, stay in the city, “ and thereby wipe out the: disnraoe to our soldiers which the neglect to do so had imposed upon them.” This was ' more than Abolition “ loyalty” could stand ; .so Mr. Smith, of Chester, moved to strike out nil of the resolution, after the word city. Mr. Smith, by his motion, held that such treatment of oup soldiers was no disgrace at all. ■Mr. B. F. Meters, of Bedford, however, placed-the whole subject in its proper posi tion, by ofenng'th'e following substitute: dissolved, That a committee of three mem bers of this House no hppointed to inquire in'todhe condition of Camp Curtin,-and also what arraegements have been mads by the authorities for the reception of the volun- : teers returning from the war, and to report the same to this House. The Abolition, members squirmed end wig gled,like eels ■under the process of skinning. Finally most of them very reluctantly voted for the resolution, and others “ dodged,” and did not veto at all. The resolution was adopted. The Harrisburg 'Telegraph, the 'pensioned Jacobin organ of the State and Nationabßd ministrations, notwithstanding it is "'over ready to excuse all kinds of villainy in its party, was alarmed at the conduct of those in .authority,, and protended to chide-them severely for it. dt was yery indignant, bow over, that -Hr. Rex, and the Democrats of the House should think-and feel for the sol diers, and after blackguarding them soundly, the Telegraph says: “ Wd would ask, whoso duty it is to see to the comfort, the subsistence and the shelter of the returning veterans ? "We cannot close our-eyes to the fact, that there are Major Ge'nerals,-Stuff officers,- Captains, Lieutenants and every grade of officials at this post to at tend to ‘‘military affairs” And yet, when a regiment of veterans arrive at'Harrisburg, either during dny-light or dark~in sunshine or rain, it is nobody’s business to them tjuarterh-r-nohody’s business: to issue them rations—nobody’s business to pay them off. The.men are jeft to lie down in the mud they are forced-td repose on the,steps of the capital or a cellar-door. ‘ln oha instance, while these, Veterans Were huddled together in the soldier’s retreat, they were driven out on the written order of a Major General, at the point of the Provost Marshal’s.hayepets; Those are facts. We cannot close bur byes to them ; and it is time that the Government take hold of 'those neglects, if we expect men to' peril their lives in its defence.— Somebody is to blame, and we demand that that somebody he exposed. 1 If it is not the business of the innumerable officers at this post to attend to the wants 61 the soldiers— to .she that they-nth-cjua’flerell,' Sy-bVisitd, paid, &«., then, the officers iu question are a qet of idlers, consuming the substance of the pooplo without a fair return in service, and they should all bo expelled froth the employ ment of the Government forthwith.” Tribute or Respect. —At a meeting of Ma nor Lodge, No. 500, I. 0. 0.
