Southern character by doubting their sin
cerity f Massachusetts resolved itself out
of the Union, when Texas was annexed.
But she did not stay out. Money was the
god of her public men, pnd she soon re
turned not to her duty as a sister State
but to her place in the Union. Those
who talk so glibly of Southern secession
seem to have forgotten that the records
of Massachusetts legislation have in them
resolutiors to the following eQect:
Itesolved, That the annexation of Texas
is, xpsofacto, n dissolution of the Union.
Jitsolved, That Texas being annexed,
Massachusetts is out of the Union.
Thoso resolutions stand unrepealed.
We advise our friends not t measure the
Southern people by the Massachusetts
standard.
No Southern State has as yet said this
much -and we hopo to Hcavon no South
ern State over will. Until thit is done, we
shall still hope for a reconciliation. It is
possible the South may ask more than her
'just due. Bo this as it may, we are quite
sure that she has been denied her just
rights, and is now threatened by the party
about coming into power, with still fur
ther encroachments. If they aro attemp
ted all is lost. But if the demands and
the threats of tho Abolitionists are with
drawn and withheld, there cuu still bo
hope.

The Cause and the Remedy.
If it aflbrd them any comfort or con
solation, (re are perfectly satUfied that
the black Republican press should con
tinue its false chirgis against the Democ
racy as having been the cause of the pres
ent disturbance in the South. What a
miserably contemptible subterfuge is it
for them to say now, that because the
Democrats threatened, that if the people
would elect Lincoln the Union woiud be
dissolved, . and that Lincoln beinir now
elected, tne
merely to make their words good.
' It is rather remarkable that these gen
tlemen would et en give the Democracy
credit for having some regard for thoir
veracity.
But the plea i a false as it is shallow
and contemptible. For more than ton
years the Democracy have been Mi Union
party in the North, and their presses and
orators have . spared no pains in their ef
forts to show to the people of the North,
that if the aggrossive measures concocted
in the hot-bed of Abolitionism in Massa
chusetts, were sanctioned by the voice of
public opinion in such a manner as we
now witness in the election of Lincoln
the South?rn heart would not submit, and
' as a consequence, secession and dissolu
tiou must follow. This was the warning
given to the country by the Democratic
orators, aud presses, and statesmen. The
same sentiments were uttered, and the
ame warnings given in every page, and
from every stump, from Mason & Dixon's
lino to the Aroostook. Our Republican
friends cannot deny this. Thoy know it
is trito. And they also know, that while
they were ridiculing the Democracy for
thus trying to "save tho Union, " as they
sneeringly called it, their black Republic
can legislatures of more than half the free
States were pawing laws nullifying one of
tho plainest and simplest provisions of
. tho National Compact. And these things
our Republican friends know to be truo
' nor dare they deny them.
But what is the present condition of
our country, and what tho remedy t
That secession is tho order of the day a
fixed fact in at least five of the States of
the Union, is beyond dispute. Aro thoy

the formation of a Southern Confederacy T
We hope we will not bo churged with a
wish to frighten anybody, when wo say
(hat we believe no people wore ever more
in earnest in any enterprise they ever un
dertook. There aro many mon in the
South who sincerely desire a dissolution.
They believe they could prosper l etter if
operated from us, than they can in con
ncx'on with us. But this is only the case
with comparatively but few of them ; for
the masses of Iho people there, as in the
North, can see no futuro for either section
on the other side of a dissolution and
are thereforo willing to submit to any sac
rifice, except that of dishonor, to preserve
the Union.
If there is any moaning in the expres
sion of public opinion, in tho recent elec
tion of Lincoln, it is, that a Southern man
Otfning slaves, has not on equal right with
the Northern nun, in tho Territories tho
"common property" of a common Gov
ernment. The Southern States are thus
put upon an inequality with the North, and
to which inequality every Southern man
will say he cannot submit 'without dis
honor. Bofidos this, some ten pr a dozen Not Ik-
ern Slates have passed laws nullifying, to
omo extent at least, that provision of the
Constitution requiring the rendition of
fugitive slaves. This, every man in the
South believes to be a breach of the Na
tional Compact, and that if the North, be
ing the greater party, is permitted to evade
and violate tbo provisions of thp Constitu
tion in one instance, to suit its conveni
ences or caprices, it is natural to suppose
that it will do io in others, and, there
fore, there is no safety in living with a
people who are unfaithful to their solemn
contracts.

Tho everlasting negro seems to occupy
an enviable position in this country.
Two oxtremn psrlios are constantly on
his track, and their objects and aims aro
as distant as the poles; each pArty at
the same timo olaium to be his psrticulur j
friend. One of these parties inhubit tbo
North, whero tho attempt is made to
equalize tho Native African with the
white raco ; the other in the South, where
hois hunted down for tho purpose of en
slavemcnt.
In several of the northern States the no
gro is allowod to vote; the Constitution of
rtew loi'K allows tnem to voto upon a
property qualification, This qualification I
has always been looked upon by that 1
school of politicians headod by Horace
Grcoley and Thurlow Weed, as wrong
and oppressive. T-vo succossivo Legisla
tures in that State voted down this clause
in tho Constitution, and passed nn act
submitting that clause to a vote of the
peoplo at the lato eloction ; which has
been most gloriously defeated.
In some of the Souther a States nn at
tempt has been mado to enslave all tho
froo necrocs within their borders, and
Maryland, at her lute election, submitted
an amendment of this character to a vote
of tho peoplo for thoir approval ; which,
like the New York amendment, has been
dofeated by a largo vote. Thus for tho
time being, this question has boon settled
against both extremists.

is that Pennington Las been defeated by

The excitement in tho South, which a
f.w weeks ago seemed to bo confined to
but a few States is spreading rapidly
throughout the South generally. It Is
not confined to the politicians alone ; but
several of the religious denominations are
moving in this matter, especially the
Baptists. The Baptist 8tate Convention
of Alabama met on the 13th Instant, and
resolved unanimously in favor of disu
nion. They sent their resolution to tho
Governor of the State, who pronounces it
the most important disunion movement
yet made in Alabama.
We learn bv the New York Herald, of
Saturday that steady Virginia is moving
in the matter. The Herald says :

Tho population in the same counties in
1840 was 908,744, and the increase from
1840 to 1850, was 311,309, these showing
that the increase fiom 1850 to I860, is
26.791 greater, than it was from 1840 to
1850. This is indeed gratifying.
The deaths in the same counties in
1850 wore 17,729, and in I860, 16,172; be
ing 1,557 less in I860, than they were in
1850, notwithstanding the additional in
crcare of 338,100 in the population.
The aggregate Increase of the popula
tion is about 27 per cent. This is how
over far exceeded by Carbon, Philadel

counties fall far below Ibis. The increase

CocNTr. On Wednesday night, the 7th
inst, the residence or Mr. Jacob Ileck

county, was entered by seven men and
robbed of $1,500 in gold. The robbers
were disguised in various ways, and to
this time they have not been detected.
or any trace of them fonnd. They broke
open tho outside door with a poet and en
tered the room whero Mr. Oentzel (aou-in-
1 1 a. ...
iaw 01 .nr. uecitman,) and his wile . were
sleeping down itoir. Mr. Gentzel jumped
from hitibed and commenced dressing him
selfwhen twoof the men presentingpiHtols
commanded him not to move. Others
went up stairs end held Mr. Hock man,
similarly in tenvrem, while somo of the
party got the money. Immediately on en
loring the house, the robbers sUuck a
light and proceeded coolly and boldly to
commit their midnight deed. This is
ccrtaily one of the most flagrant violations
of law, and the safety of society we have
heard of in many a day. It is almost in.
credible to think that such a deed could
be committod in Centre county, or that
demons so black hearted could move
among us. It a is wan.mg to those who
have accumulated by honest industry, a
sum 01 money, not to bourd it in thoir
houses, instead of availing themselves ol
profitable investments.
A gun and an axe had been carefullv
romoved from the house, a a matter o1
precaution, doubtless pieparatory to com
muting tuo ueeu, ana were touml some
where an the premises the next dav.
Who tho perpetrators are, or from whence
they came, is a matter open for coniect
ure. From the circumstances in connec
tion with the case, it it evident that the
persons engaged in the robbery, were not
only familiar with the house, but well a
ware of the exact locality in which the
old gentleman kept bis money. We hepe
that a ctrict vigilance may he exercised by
every nonest man in the community to
ferret out the offenders and bring them to
justice, it is scarcely possible that seven
armed men, entirely strangers in the
community, would so mvsteiiouslv make
their appearance, perpetrate a deed of
this character, and escape without detec
