' Our neighbor is again permitting him
self to. bo led astray by bin pretended
friends, for we are quite sure the assumed
editor of the AwW h is letter sense than
to dictate any such appeal to the spii'U pi
mob law at the above, paragraph exhibit.
Immediately after the commencement of
hostilities between the North And tin
.Ssuth, the scenes of violence that dis
graced so many parti of cur country, by
inaugurating a reign of terror, and a re
sort to brute force against alt who hetita
ted cr stopped to reflect ' before rushing
headlong into an unnatural civil war, wa
airously talked of, and openly threatened
here. Many of our people had never
learned the rt of holding their tongues,
when discussing the afTuii s of tlio Nation,
ir the acts of their rulers; and they were
threatened with the hultvr in all parts ol
the county. With these over zealous pa
triots, ' tho ' Republican was a ."seditious
sheet',' "our town, wus fall of tnitors,"and
"there were traitors oven in the ranks 61
lie Cadets. " Notwithstanding ' these
thread, our people continued to talk (nnJ
talked, too, without Uttering a word ol
disloyalty to the country or it." Constitu
tution,) and the Republican has continued
to denounce the policy, the usurpations
and blunder? f the Administration juM
as if there was "noth tig going wrong''
and nobody hurt."'. If this is gliding with
(he forbearance of the 'people," we cannol
hejp it, '( We know that our laws and Con
atitutions give us this right, and we Mierr
that the ' necessities of tho case requ ire
that we should so spoik. But we rather
suspect that it is the chagrin and disap
pointment of the clique that controls the
.kmrnat, at their failure to' control public
opinion by threats of mob law, that has
ren disturbed, rather than any ' tnfling"
with the "forbearance of the people."
tVe haveno doubt that they are extreme
ly snnoyed at the course of the Republican,
And that its course has not only been "tol
crated," but commended in the most sub
stantial manner.' We are sorry for them
but don't feel like helping them in any
ehape. , If they, wont act like sensible
:nen but like ninnies, goats and asses
let them drive away, that's all.
In the article from which the above
quotation is taken, it is asseited that we
made an "unwarrantable onslotight upon
Gen. John ration."- This is simply and
plainly, itosucb thing. We made no ''on
fclought" upon him j nor did we speak ol
him in any unkind spirit. Wc merely
suggested that his constituents shouh
"sound" him upon certain measures. Th
Journal says it is "not aware what the
views of Oen. Patton ate." Believing that
the Oeneiul's riiislitunits wcio just
as ignorant as the Journal, is the reason
why we suggested the asking of those
questions. The Journal adds that it doei
not "think it necessary at this time to in
uuire" sa to what his views are. There tve
think the Journal oikI the General's con
tituetitt widely oilier. This futal
indifference on tho part of tho constitu
encies of American Statesmen as to their
"views," is the great cause of all our pres
ent troubles. If members of Congress had
I oen held to a more faithful obedient to
lUe Till of their constituents instead of
beir.gon tho brood way to utter ruin, our
country would now be enjoying an unex
ampled degree of prosperity. And for
merely suggesting to General Pa ton's
constituents tho propriety oi "sounding"
him upon certain "subjects" which are
just now occupying the most anxious
thoughts of every friend of the Union, is,
in the eyes of the Journal, making an "un
warrantable assault" upon Oen.patton!
Truly this is refreshing. Hut we can as
sure our neighbor of two things : One is,
that we know, not only what tho people
of this community w 11 ."tolerato," but
what their sentiments and feelings are,
and which we endeavor to reflect as fur as
possible. The other is, that unless he
ceases to be made the mere cat's paw of
those who usurp his editorial privilege',
to spit suit their private spleen, and thus
dodging the responsibility, he will indeed
have- much reason to wondtr at the "for
bearance of the people."
Taxation.
Thi Washington Rcpvblkan, the organ
of President Lincoln, urges vigorously up
on the President and the Governors of
the Northern Plates, the rery harshest
plan of carrying on war taxation. As
this plan has already been adopted by our
State Administration we presume the
-;it k ..li.ftit tu. . f
Eepubhcan will be satisfied. The people of
Pennsylvania will hereafter bo compelled
to pay an additional tax of $400,000 an-
nually. merely to pay the interest upon
lbs State debt, ulade since the first of
. , " ' '
ircb last. .... . . , : i i
'e doclrine preached by the Black
Republican party last !h11 was t rev
Spoech and Free rjes.se," but this hallu
cination has, in less limn three months
after they came into powcr.culminated in
-erir and taralionK This hypocritical, party,
like their prototype, IWhiWaar, see j the
hard-writing upon the wall, and the' ev
acuation of the Presidential chuir, by Mr
LUiooin ; at the end of lint term, will be
hailed with as much joj by our people a
when the British evacuated New York
duiing the revolution.
Information Wanted. -
I Wo may be charged with being inquis
itive, but knowing that something is "go
ing wrong" in our Governmental affairs,
and not being blessed with much Knowl-:
edge, especially in rcftercnec to Constitu
tional law, we merely seek for informa
tion, and in doing so, if it reaults in any
good to ourselves H can do our neighbor
no harm. .. '.
Iu scanning over tho Constitution of
the United States, we find a rtuin pre
scribed rules and regulations, which were
intended to be preserved and upheld by
each branch of the Government, which

history ofthe world. ' , . ,

thing worse.
We will enumerate a few of the duiie
of Congreas, as found in the Constitution :
Stc. V!1I, Coi.gress ahull have power
to regulatu tommcice with foreign na
tions. To establish a uniform rule of Natural!
zition. ..!
To establish post-otlh-es and 0!t-roud.
To declare war.
To raise and support armies.
To pro'ide and maintain a navy.
To provide for calling forth the militia
to execute the laws of the Union, sup
press insurrections, und repel invasions.''
And the duty of suspending the writ of
Halitat Vorpvt, to our mind is clearly ves
ted in Congress ulone. ,
Our readers are fully aware that a nan
of lStKtO men has Keen "provided," that. ,
huge army has been rats, d, and tl e men

the writ of "Habeas Corpus" has been sus

A little light seems occasionally to
shine upon our daik National pathway.
The legislatures of Iowa and Connecticu
have each raised their voices in nuttings
stop to this unnatural war. Here follows
two ofthe resolutions introduced into the
legislature of Connecticut. Tho.e offered
in the h?gislatuie of Iowa express einiilui

itself in other quarters. A public meeting
was recently held in the city of Newark,

were adopted :
