Clearfield, I'a., December 17, IH0;
jfcfirHon. Wm. Bieler win please nc-
iwpt our lhai.ks for a bcund copy of tbo
"oflgrMsiorial UIouo ol the lirst ci-sion 01
tho 1'hiity-Sixth Congress.
Will it be Done.
In about one month from this diite, the
yovernois of tbo following States nill.be
called upon to transmit their annual mes
sages to their respective Legislatures:
Pennsylvania, Now Ycrk, New Jersey,
und Ohio.
We hope to be able to stato to our raid
ers in time, the fact, that they will act in
concert by throwing oil upon tbo now
terapest-tossed sea of politics. Wo hare
no doubt that Governor Taokcr, of our
Stato, will, in hit forthcoming message,
strongly urge tho repeal of every obnox
ious enactment upon our statute books.
The same can be expected from Gov. Ol
den, of Kew Jersey ; from the Governors
of New York and Ohio we expect but lit
tle, as they are both Ilelperitcs, and have
to far shown more respect for party than
patriotism.
Gov. Morgan, of New York, subscri
bed $100 to assist in citculating tho hell
ish sentiments contained in tho Helper
book acquiesced in calling his Southern
neighbors barbarians, assassins, and
highwaymen. Being well aware of his
abolition proclivities, wo still have a. hope
that tho commercial interests of tbe city
of New York, which are now well nigh
prostrated by the nets of Abolitionism,
will compel him to throw his tvoight into
the scale on the sido of justice and hu
manity. If the usual' abolition ideas are
rehashed by our Northern Governors this
winter, wo can expect nothing mora than
a revolution, of which no ono can at this
time, fathom tho result. If it comes, we
can say wo have dono our duly to avert
such a calamity, and defy reproach from
any sourco.
The Rej-uhlic
lit must be distressing to every patriotic
hesrt, to observo tho temper and spirit of
a numlior of Northern newspapers towards
tho South. Instead of seckiug to calm
the tumult, and mlore pence and good
feoling, they taunt and ridicule their
neighbors in tho South, and assist in
prooipvtating the coming catastrophe. '

s- Kl: "A compact mat is t.roKen on one

it discreditable to yield, wiien Hie South
