Unnecessary labor.
The tilit 'r of tho Journal, has labored
wt'.i k-ro.H zoil for two wcuks to prove a
fad, that no ono bad over denied that
Uio Democratic parly bad changed their
policy in reference to the subject of slave
ry, williln the past ten or twelve
yt an.
Yt'c ore sorry our friend should spcod
bo ixiuch time in proving tho old Buying,
J ih.it wise, men often change,but fools nev
er." Our neighbor is (tting as bold as a
sheep. and if he is not secured soon lie may
but' liis brains out. against some desperate jewelry, luces, ic, annually imported,
Loeofuco. A reproof far changing comes
will) a bad grace, from one who changes'
every year. It is somewhat like Satan re-
proving fin ; and the next wo expect to
learn is, that Satan has reproved Gabriel
for not walking more circumspectly.
Vo admit that the Democratic party
has changed its policy "frequently in ref
erence to local or miner matters in order
to com" up more fully to the will of the
people, but every time a change of this
kind was made, it was always for the ben
efit of the country, and the more gradual
extension cf genuine democratic princi.
pies ; no leading principles were sought to
be subverted; no inalienable rights were
attempted to be overthrown ; nothing
that in any Kay interfered with the pre
scribed rights of an American citizen was
evr attempted by the Democratic party.
e wonder if the editor of the Journal
can say this much for his party 1 We think
net. It is no doubt well remembered by
himself und his party, that they made an
i.riholy nnd a desperate effort to ignore
tha rights of u largo portion of their fel
low citizens, not only in the usual way
by public conventions and meetings ; but
nt the hour of midnight the assassins
hour they w.ou!J congregate in dark
sheds, and pig sties and stables, and there,
in direct antagonism to our Constitutions,
admicitter to each other blasphemous
and illegal oaths, swearirg to do that
which tha Constitution expressly said
should not be done. 0, shame with your
Know-Nothingisni ! R?ud your plat forai of
i.Coi-5 and the teachings of a Buzzards'
Feast at Harrisburg. We are well aware
that the.prestfni Black Republican party
is averse to ' Lacking down." So the same
men were when they had christened
themIve the Know-Nothing party.
They reiisted " unto blood." The streets
of Baltimore, Louisville, Cincinnati, and
New Oilcans can testify to this fact, from
whence the blood of American citizers is
still crying for vengeance upon their
murderers, and tUeir enemies who at
tempted a species of subjugation and men
tal despotism over their foreign born
neighbor. What does the locksin of those
same men though, under another name,
sound for now? "Stand firm," "no back
ing down," "coercion," and call for war!
What did those sme felloes do in 1854-5 ?
They committed murder and treason upon
tho bodies and property of their fellow
citizens ; and, after fill, had to back down.
So they will have to do again.
How different tbo teachings and prac
tice of the Democratic party. It continues
la be known tho world over, by the same
name and principles, and its principles
continue to be as heretofore, practicable
food will to all our fellow citizens.
In 1848-50, it was ascertained that if
the "Free Soil" element was allowed to
remain and spread within the party it
would be broken to pieces, like their oppo
nents, and tho con-equence was that such
men as Wilmot, J. I Hale, Gov. Chase
of Oliio, and a host of lesser lights, who
bad in a largo measure controlled the
com-entions of our party, by tho strong
voice of the party, backed by the people
they drove these men forth from the
party, who at onco joined the enemies of
the country ; nd those very men who

opposition ever since, and at this time
Lave well nigh succeeded in destroying
and overturning the best government
that ever was formed for man.
A few years ago they attempted to tin

Our Exports and Imports.
Wo have for years heaid the language

her; then wo will have peace."
In order to display tho falsity of this
reckless assertion, wo think it but neces
sary to submit a few facts, which cannot
be controverted or gainsaid by tho most
egotistical or perverted mind in tue
country.
The following tublo poos to sho-v in
what the commercial importations into our
country consist, which goes to prove, that
wo annually import about $130,000,000

Total, ? 130,202,055
The imports or 1S59 amounted to
$338,708,130, and the exports were $256,
789,462 ; of this amount, however, nearly
$21,000,000 were foreign goods re-exported
; leaving the net amount of American
exports to be $335,894,386, and in this
amount there is the sum of $57,502,305 of
gold and silver exported during the year,
which leaves but the sum of $278,892,080
as the real exports of the country, and of
this amount $186,716,000 is realized from
cotton, tobacco and rice all Southern
productions. If we subtract this amount
from the net exports of the country, we
have but tho small sum of $92,675,971 as
the aggregate amount oi the exports of
the whole country, to which the Southern
States contribute a reasonable share.
The question that now naturally arises
is, what is the amount realized from the
great Northern staple" wheat, flour, corn
and pork ? We answer that the amount
exported was $28,068,230, to which the
Southern States contributed a large pro
portion.
We can assure our readers that this is
no fancy sketch of ours, ir. reterer.ee to
the exports and imports of the country.
We haro comp iled it from the official
records of the country.
In order to illustrate the subject still
further, we will give the amount of ex
ports and imports of the Northern and
Southern States for the same year. The
Northern States exported $150,835,560, of
which nearly one third was gold and sil
ver, the boutbern Mates exported flea,
058,825;. Showing a large excess of the
real production of the country in favor of
the South.
The North imports over $300,000,000.
while the imports of the South do not
exceed $35,000,000.
The e being the facts in tho case, where
is our boasted independence here in the
North ? It must be self evident to every
thinking mind that if a separation of our
country must be made a Northern and
Southern Confederacy established to sat
isly the irsane fanaticism of Northern and
Southern disunionists that wo in the
North must support our national Gov
ernment by direct taxation, while our
neighbors in the South may declare uni
versal free trade; or by levying a few cents
upon cotton will always have a full treas
ury, They will do the exporting and we
niaj do the importing ; they will annually
realize their millions out of the cotton and
tobacco crops, and we may sell our wheat,
corn, pork, and beef, too, when it cannot
be produced chewhere. While cotton
cannot be produced anywhere else in the
world, as cheaply as it is in the Southern
Northern staples can be
produced as cheaply elsewhere as in
the Northern States ; consequently the
North has co npetition for trade every
where in striving to dispose of her
leading productions, while the South
meets no one to contend with in dispos
ing her King Cotton.

tbelVmorvMic Convention held t Hr
rM urpon IhnCW. The entire -Mtjr r
it,, r'nmnwmwrnlih were lookina to Its
dobberations with nnirly. Thrt result
has not disappointed ineir jun 'T--The
resolutions passed breath tbo
te.Ui.ii it of the pristine days ofthrr'
ty. Theproccodmpsff the Convention
were charsctcr'ed bv harmony and good
feeling, and in the fare or the common
dangci all former strife has iin settled
and tho party ore again ready to act as
one man, in defonco or tho principles of
the Constitution, and tho Union, nnd
equality or tho States.
Tho jesolutions, as will be seen, embody
this timo-honored doctrine of the democra
cy : tho Union or the States under a Con
stitution limited in th powers conrerred,
with ihe reservation of bII other rights
to the States nnd people The doctrine
is also enunciated that within the limits of
the powers granted to tho Fedoral Gov
ernment she is supreme and has all tue
usual powers oT self preservation nnd pro
tection. By them we are pledged to cling
to the Union "as the last prop of free
dom, nnd as the great experiment in self
government that is to light the nations of
the earth to liberty nnd independence."
To every democrat who loves his coun
try and his party, and has seen us pros-
per under the benificent rule of tho Con
stitution. the fourth resolution comes
with heartfelt acceptance. In a Conven
tion composed of near four hundred men,
representing every shade of opinion in
the party, from a committee thereof com
posed of leaders of different wings in our
unhappy dissentions, we are presented in
thi- resolution with the pledge of better
things, and at last we see the dawning of
the dny when in the face of the enemies of
the Constitution the democracy unite as
one man to rescue our beloved country
from tho perils that environ her May it
be the aim of every one of us to aid in
furthering the objects in view, and in pre
serving us from the unfortunate divisions
of the past.
The fifth resolution accepts the Dred
Scott decision as a finally upon tha terri
torial question until an acceptable com
promise be effected by Constitutional
amendments. The sixth and seventh res
olutions insist upon the repeal of our un
constitutional statutes, and pledge us to
the faiihfjl observance of the fugitive
slave law. The Crittenden compromise is
endorsed and its passage urged ; it is com
mended to all as the plan for the hour,
and as calculated to give us peace in the
future.
But it was reserved for tho sixth refo
lution to show the zealous accord that ac
tuated '.he democracy, and to place them
upen the record a bond of brothers,
pledged "ly all proper and lejilimate
meant to oppose, discountenance and pre
vent any attempt to mak$ aggression
vpen cur sister Southern States. We
nre honest in our belief that thee
were the sentiments cf tho party in Perm
sylvama, and wo onlcss tnat we were
pleased that this determined front against
roercion, is to ur.miMakiiMy me leeung
of her entire democracy. Upon the reed.
ing of this resolution the whole Conven
tiou spontaneously rose to their fet, and
it was carried with waving of hats and
shouts of enthusiasm that shook the very
walls of the building in which they met.
Two hundred and thirty thousand deal o-
crats cf our noble old State rise up like a
all of fireletwecn their Irethern of the
South and the John Brown radicalism of
the North that seeks to culminate in war,
The present dignified position and pru
dent reserve of the- Southern border
States is commended by tho Convention.
And the act of Gov. Curtin, in appointing
Republicans alone as Commissioners to
the Fcace Conference, is condemned.
The following are the resolutions:
licsotved, That the States of this Union!
are sovereign and independent over every
subject not surrendered to the control of
the Federal Government, and they have J
no right to interfere with each other's
domestic institutions, but nre bound by
the Constitution of the United States to
protect and defend them against domes
tic insurrection as well as foreign invasion.
Kesolved, That the Government of the
United States, although limited in its au
thority to thf subjects enu.nietated in the
Federal Constitution , possesses within
those limits supreme authority, and has
the usual and necessary power for preser
v ing itself and enforcing its laws.
Jiesolved, That the Union of the States
was founded by the isdom of oar patri
otic ancestors is sanctioned by the expe
rience of our whole political existence,
and has secured to us unexampled pr os
perity at home and respect abroad. The
Democratic party will cling to it as the
last hope of freedom, and as the great ex-
Fierimeut in self-government, which is to
ight the nations of the earth to liberty
and independence.
Jtesohed, That the Democratic parly pos.
sess the recuperative power which noth
ing but integrity can give, and is deter
mined to sacrifice on the altar of patriot
ism All individual interests and past dis
sensions, and unite as a band of brothers
to rescue the country from the control of
those who are seeking its destruction;
that this country, with the best form ofl
government that ever was devised, is suis
rounded with dangers and difficulties I
which threaten its very existence ; and
yet the Republican party refuse all
reasonable terms of compromise, end their'

Lincoln'a Flight to Washington.
By the programme deliberately ar
ranged, Mr. Lincoln was to have left
Harrisburg at 9 a. m. of Saturday last,
spend an hour or two at Baltimore, snd
reach Washington in Ihe afternoon, where
arrangements were made to receive him
in a public manner.
But a son of Mr. Seward arrived in Har
risburg on Friday afternoon, btaring cer
tain messages from his father and others,
at Washington, requirng Mr. Lincoln's
immediate presence there, and, accor
dingly, Col. Scott, ice President of tho
Pcnn'a Railroad, being present, furnished
a special train, and stationed it a short
distance below town, to which the Tresi.
dect elect was escorted bj Gov. Curtin
about 6 p. m., when the locomotive
started for Phil's, arriving there in time
to connect with the 11 p.m., train for
Baltimore, reaching Washington at C a. m.
on Saturday morning. Tliis was all done
without the knowledge of any one ex

questions at issue were such as might eas

with deliberation and calmness, and with

peace and harmony would once more be

establish an v charce upon this? No, it
was a mere bairatcllc. and had really no
thing to do with the present difficulties
which threaten the disruption of the
Union, as the question was ensy-of solu

conflict of opinion between the people of
the North and the South relative to the
institution of slavery, some believing that
it was a blessing to the slavo and a ben

North, were taught to regard it as a mor
