A Good Ib£a.— We learn that an effort rs being made.in the different townships and ■ towns of onr county to collect money'for the relief of Mr. and Mrs. Matderrt of Frank ford township, who lost their seven children and everything they bad in the world by fire, and-wbioh we noticed in our lost. Thisjs a praiseworthy movement, and wo hope every man in pur county will give something to this object. By a little effort all over the county four or five thousand dollars might be raised with fill ease. wishing .to contribute to this object, and who have not met any of the collectors appointed, might leave the amount they desire to give with any one of ..the editors of our town papers, all of whom, we feel satisfied, will cheerfully acknowledge the sums paid in their editorial columns, and pay over the same to Mr. Mat bbrrt. Collections in the various -churches might also.be resorted to. We repeat, let ■ every body contribute something to this -lau- ' dnble object. i Thb Fourth or Jolt.— The great day which commemorates the independence of our country is rapidly approaching. "Tn but three short weeks it will be here, and it is time, Tf we intend to do anything towards celebrating it in an appropriate manner, that we should -commence ‘operations -and -get ready. Alt of us, without distinction of par ti* can unite in this patriotic dutf. There are no political differences to be settled on the Fourth of July. That is a day in which every American claims a property. It be longs Exclusively to the people. It is a heri tage which they have received in the calen der of time, and no one can dispute their property. . . _ Th ® borough of Carlisle contains a popula tion of some six thousand souls, the county ' is large, enterprising and patriotic, andif the —proper exertions, are made an immense crowds at some stated point, could be assembled to- gather on the approaching anniversary of our independence.

For thirty offd’yeirs he bos been considered the Bead an'd "front of thi'Aboli tion-Bepublioan pfifty. Jlo has io histime, signed a thmnAnd petitions to Congress pray-' ■rag-far 'a disssintion of ihe.lTiiion, and it was .owing;, to bis.influence, and in deference to rbis'dhsirfl, that JUr, Lincoln was nominated for the Eroaidoncyin 1860. He is, indeed,, the father of the Abolition party, and he was th'e man who forced ail the factions hostile to the DemOhretio party Ho coalesce anchespoase the doctrines of the Abolitionists. He al lowed the new party to bo ohristene’d tbe “ Republican party,” -but Abolition doc trines of the most radical order wore to be the recognized principles of the new organi sation. Mr. SuitH, 'beyond doubt, is a man of great mind and extraordinary, energy of character, tlij influence over the lute Presi dent, Mr. Lincoln, "Was greater than any other man in private life, and few, if any,: contributed more to shape the course of the ' administration. Occupying ibis position then,.we call the attention of our readers'to bis sentiments ns tuprossed in his lile sermon, which will bo' found in another column. Compare these views .with - tho blood and thunder produc tions of the Ben Butlers, the Stantons, and the politipal demagogues whocall themselves mmistsfa. pf. Christ, but.who impiously and with th’ednoefhrozon effrontery,'nut all tho teachings of (heir Master at defiance, and trample thorn under fhoir feet. _ Gerrit Smith, .who ia the leader of tho itepiiblicnn' .party—who hira always Been an Abolition ist—rebukes those black sheep, branda them ae " hypocrites,” and sinful teachings. Ho talks io them like one hav ing the right to epeak, and tells them, in very plain language, that their cry for more blood da devilish, sirffol. tail! hypocritical.— He says to them bluntly, that tho Abolition ists and people of tho North aro as responsi ble for the war ns the slaveholders of tho South. The ddclrir.es and dqels of Northern men, ho contends, had their influenoe -in for •oing war 'upon -the country. The oonclu-. sions arrived at by Mr. Smith are true. They, cannot with truth bodenied. The Abolition ists and’ tho Southern fyo-catcrs occupied ■ tho same ground—both contended for war, and they got it, and-the Abolitionists gained their point and abolished slavery. In doing so, however, they sacrificed two hundred ■thousand white men, and placed a debt up on the people of some throe or fourfhousand millions •of'doHars, The Abolitionita accom- .plished their object,' we repeat, but for gen erations to coins must the people suffer for the experiment. Gebr-it Smith does-not at- tempt to cover up or shirk responsibility, and for this wo respect him, if for nothing else, and we therefore again commend his expressed views-to the attention of fhe peo- ■“ MiL QUIET ALONG THB LINE.” The Republican 'or Jacobin' papers, arc mute just now in regard to the administra- tion. formerly it was their habit to fill their columns with sickening and fulsome fiatterv of Mr. Lincoln. No matter what he said or what -Ms course was. he was endorsed and bespattered with compTnncnte. Now, how ever,, we see nothing of this. The, Jacobin papers are as quiet as mice Trhen a cat is about; They &m r t know-what to mdko of President Johnson ; they begin to fear tfca t ha is a man who has ability and a will of his own. His frequent reference to his “course for twenty-five years." rather startles them, and they are beginning to realize the fact that the President is not the kind of man to bo made a tool at It is not strange that they aqnirm and feel alarmed; no wonder they keep quiet, for it is a fact now known that Andrkw Johnson despises the miserable Abolition vultures who have been hanging aboufWashington by thousands for the last four years. Ho bjis no sympathy with them and never had, and it is not many years ago that he spoke of ! them as traitors who desired a dissolution of j the Union. They know and feel that John son desires them as far from him as possible. Hence their alarm. It will bo a fortunate thing for the conn try, fortunate people, when the Pres ident dissolves all connection with the radi cal Jacobins, who Unfortunately for the na tion, have had their own way too long. And it must oomo to this, for certainly Andrew Johnson cannot and will not give counte nance to the efforts now making to elevate the negro to the standard of the white man. He cannot and will not consent to negro vo ting and negro equality. Indeed, judging by late indications, it is evident the President has made up his mind on these aubjects, and intends to adhere to. the rustic opinions en tertained by the early fathers, who -believed this to be the white man’s country, and that white men should govern and control it. I*efc. President' Johnson then pursue a straight, forward course, adhere strictly te the old land-marks, and the great Democrat l ■ *° ® B . large portion of the more /cehffervativb men of the opposi tion will rally to' hid him in his laudable ef forts..

Tho -ffenfzid'still iusiats, in its feeblo way, that 'the •fcasaiilts'tnn’de upon the President ■byhis political opponents induced Booth to fire -the fatal shot. Where the Herald got this sublime idea we cannot conjecture. It must bo its own, fbf'oertainly no other sane ‘ mnn could originate so brilliant a thought. If its argument had a. somblaucqgpf trafli or reason, then every President wo ever bad would have (alien a victim to the assassin, for every President baa been soundly, abused and criticised, ' But a few weeks ago Andrew Johnson was denounced by’two-thirds of the Abolition-Jacobin papers as a sot,, a'bribe, a disgrace to tfip position he occupied, and lie was threatened with impeadhtnont. Accord ing to the reasoning of the Herald this was an argument-iu favor of his assassination. Again, the most scorching rebukes Mr. Lin coln over received were aSminidtet-ed by men of his own party. Henry Winter Davis, previous to Mr. Lincoln’s re-nomination, de ; nouncod him ns a pretender, deoiever and hypocrite; that he was procrastinating the wtir “for his own selfish VMP°ses, ’’ and he warned the people againstW re-election.— And yot.after this, Davis stumped tho oouh try and urged the people to vote for Mr. Lin coln 1 Then too, Wendell Phillips, one of 'the -leaders-apd bright lights of the Herald's party, used this language a few wpsks before [ Lincoln’s rc-nomination: this picture dooms tho cloud of a government habituated to tho e'xereiao Of a' despotic power, Well did- Soward say to Lord Lyons, “1 Wt Tingie boll -on this side. ,and unchallenged I put in prison a Now Englander., -I -ring-ono on that, and equally irresponsible consign a citizan of Ohio to a dungeon." No such despotism -this side of the wall of China.! Such powers may result in the speedy dismemberment of tho republic and the quick advance -6f despotism and vio lence." The New iTork Emiing Poat, an Abolition- Jacobin organ, spoke thus of the administra tion : "It is not to 'bo -denied that its arbitrary arrests, its suppression cf journals, its sur , render of fugitives without judicial warrant, and fts practical -abandonment of the Monroe .doctrine, have produced a wide and deep feeling off apprehension and disapproval.” The “ Chase National Committee,” in i's 1 address to the people in opposition to the re nomination of Mr. Lincon, said:;. “ The effort now mating to forestall the action or the Republican National Onnven ' tion by procuring the formal nomination of Mr. liinoofla in-State Legislatures ’and other public bodies, is deeply to bo deplored. Nay it isan outrage.

If ‘President Lincoln, in defiance of the teachings of Jackson, in violation of the great principle which underlies our democratic, in" stitutions, and in the face of tho solemn war nings of history, can mow so wield his patro nage as to secure his election for a second term, who so blind as not to see that four years hence ho will have less difficulty in se curing :his election lor a third term?

The religion, politics, commerce, and souial usages of the North have all been shop ’ed 'to the interests;-and biddings of slavery.

North admits that the nation bps ever bean held by her organic law to defend slavery, (ond this she admits in her present attempt to amend and reverse the law at this point), is her virtual admission that she has ever been morally disqualißed to punish the fconth for slavery. But to punish the South rebellion is to punish her for slavery. The North presuming to judge the South, when it is certainly: not fop her to deny that she authorised the.
