LEBANON, PA,
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1861
kir We are no prophet. We stated
last week that in less than ten years
the American people would do justice
to Mr. Buchanan. We were mistaken
in point of time. Instead of ten years
—not ten 10.78 ' have passed since his
-assailants could not find terms suffi•
ciently harsh to denounce him. But
now, behold the change! While some
are silent because they dare not praise,
others, more bold—and they the most
violent in his abuseare actually
praising him. Even Forney's Press
does not stop to call upon all "to
unite in surrounding him (the Presi
dent,) with the strongest manifesta
tions of public opinion." It further
says, "let no man who loves his coun
try fail to snpport. JAMES BUCUANAN
in ''his present - atti tuck." line %very
words. Its enough, however,' to' try
the patience of a saint, to listen to
the eleventh hour praise of those who
have so persistently, outrageously,
and unjustly abused and misrepre
sented him for four years, now, when
the evil is done, and that by their own
acts in a great measure,to turn round,
but six weeks before the expiration• of
his term of office, and praise him.—
Gen. Jackson had to wait thirty years
before justice was done him; Mr. Bu
chanan retired to bed ono night last
week, with-calumny h o weri ng upon
his , bead thick and fast. The next
“nrorning his enemies' heartsshad been
turned. There is a God, and who
will deny his hand in this wonderful
transformation. The prayers of the
good on Friday a week have produced
some fruits.
es,. On Thursday, in the lower
branch of the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture, Mr. Barnsley, of Bucks, (Re.
publican,) read in ,place 11, ; bill 'appro
priating $200,000 to arm 'the volun
teers of the State. We note the in
troduction of said bill, because we
last week foretold it, and the Courier
pronounced our assertions as "n©t
true" and a "base . thiVeprosentation."
The denial of the Courier that Mr.
orillinger and other Republican Con
gressmen were at Harrisburg to per
suade the Republicans against such
action, is of littlo consequence. We
had the information from the Phila
delphia Daily -News. and other repub
lican 'papers, and .they were not
'there, they should have been, or, at
least, should yet hasten therefor that
purpose with all the speed that steam
can furnish them. Moreover, we can
not see that it, would be greatly out
of place for Mr. Killinger, who pro
fesses himself favorable to concilia
tion and comproMise, with firmness
in repressing treason, to use his influ
ence in bending the Republicans of
the Legislature from their mad and
thoughtless purposes. The Courier is
a little too fond in chaigingfalsebood
upon ns. it . does so unthinkingly on
many occasions because it has accus
tomed itself thereto, hut that is no
justification, especially when, on ev
ery occasion, ourassertions• are .prov
. en by ti wto be . true,‘while its thou
-sari& oftuntruthe 'remain as 'menu

A NIGGER STEALER SENT TO
THE U. S. SENATE.
In these times of danger.and diffi.
culty, when the good and patriotic
citizens of the South. and the North
should be willing to conciliate and
compromise, to avert the threatening
calamities, it -certainly slows but a
slight tendency - in'that dire'ction when
we find the r ßepublican legislature of
Maine, last week, taking from,the Gu
bernatorial chair of that State, the
notorious tot M. ;Ciorrill, and trans
ferrlns him to the , lllrilte'dStates Sen.
ate, as the - successor of Hannibal
Hamlin, the Vice President elect.—
Morrill's subscription of 85, some
time since, to aid in stealing slaves
from the South, and running them
off into Canada, was recently exhibi
ted in his own hand writing, and if
'that is diiiputed•itris-saitl , that his sig.
nature can be proven. Now, whether
the sending such a man to the U.
Senate is an effort in the direction- of
conciliation the Union-loving citizens
generally can judge. What compro
,mise•enciliilhey make with one who
is not only their aeatlliedt enennybut
who contributes $5 to steal the prop
erty of his neighbors.
sir The Legislature of New Jersey
met on Tuesday of last week. In the
Senate the Republicans had a major
ity of one, but one of their Senators
has beeome -so disgusted with the
iroOvements of the.leaders of his par
ty; that he forsodk 'them and voted
with the Democrats, thus throWing
the power into their hands. Light
is beginning to shine in rainy hearts
.where there was darkness.

WHAT IS CO:N 411,ESS ABOUT ?
Congress has new been in session
eis;»it six weeks, and sees the Union
iissolving piece by piece, but, so far
has not moved a single step to pre
vent its dissolution. They . know that
the President has neither power to
coerce a sovereign State to remain in
the Union nor to recognize her inde
pendence after she has resolved her
self out of it; and yet they leave him
to struggle with the . great difficulty.
They laugh at tho impendingcalarni
ty,,-ortalk big and loud of -treason,_
coercion, and so on, and still 'neglect
or refuse to strengthen his arm to
meet its rude and terrible shock.. The
constituents,. too, of many of the
members—perhaps of most, of them
—instead of thundering in the - ears
of their Representatives as they sleep
at their posts, and waking them to a
sense of their duty, employ their time
in !'cursing Buchanan," us if he. pos
sessed not only executive, but also
legislative and judicial powers; and
could make laws for himself and for .
all mankind, and construe them to
suit and meet any emergency.
The Republican members have made
patriotism.give"way to partizanship.
They see 'the danger-,they can't shut
they eyes to it; . but as it is a Demo
' eratie and not a Republican adminis
tration that has to grapple with 'it,
they have set themselves down quietly
at their desks and resolved to let the
storm blow on. Having brewed dis
union and political and financial ruin
by electing LiNcor.N, their wish now
is to have civil war break out during
Mr. BUCHANAN'S administration, so
that they may impose upon the delu
ded voters who gave them the victory
last fall, the false story that the Demo.
crate are responsible for the deplora
ble condition of public affairs.
In his Special Message, published
in another column the Pesident makes
another. appeal to Congress, to attend
to its duty. We have reason, how
ever, to fear that the appeal is -.still
in vain.

the South Carolina .Fbrces.
The Charleston Courier of the Ifith,says
that at about half past six o'clock yester
day morning the steamer General Clinch
discovered the steam-ship Star of the West
and si g nalized the • • fact of her approach to
•
the occupants of the battery on Morris
Island. As, soon as the signal were been
by those on guard there, Morris Island
was astir with men at their posts before
the orders could be given them to prepare
for action. They remained in anxious
suspense, but ready for what they believ
ed was sure to come—a volley
,from Fort
Sumter. The Star of the West rounded
the point, took the ship channel inside the
bar, and procetded'straight forward . 'nntil
opposite Morris Island, about three quar
ters of a mile from the battery. A bail
was fired athwards the bows of the stea-
The Star of the West displayed

the stars and stripes. As soon as the flag
was unfurled the fortification fired a suc
cession of heavy shots. The vessel con-_,
tinned on her course with increased speed, '
but two shots taking effect upon her, she
concluded to retire. Fount Moultrie fired
a - few shots at her, but she was out of their
range. The damage done to the Star of
the West is trifling, as only two out of
seventeen shots took effect upon her.
Fort Sumter made no demonstration,
except at the port-holes, where guns were
run out bearing on Morris Island.
After the firing, Major Anderson addres
sed a note to Governor Pickens, demand
ing to know of him if 'the firing was by
the authority of, the - GoVernment of that
State, and notifying him that if it was
in obedience to instructions and not dis
claimed, he (Major Anderson) would re
gard it as an act of war, and would not
permit any vessel to pass within range of
the guns of Fort Sumter. ":n order,"

any attempt to send United States troops
into Charleston, to reinforce Fort Sumter
or to resume possession of the fortifica
tions abandoned by Major Anderson,
couid not be regarded by the authorities of
the State as indicative of any other pur
pose than the coercion . of the State by
the armed force of the Government. , The
Star of the West had been notified that
she could not enter the harbor; notwith
standing which, she persisted in theattempt
and was consequently fired into; which act
says the Governor, "is perfectly justified by
me. In regard to your threat about Ves-
sels in the harbor," continues Governor P.,
"it is only necessary to say you must. be
:the judge-of your responsibility"-
Subsequently, an arrangement was en
tered into between doxrernof Pickens and
Major Anderson,, that. ,Lieutenant,.. Talbot
should be allowed to go on to 'Washing
ton without interference, as the bearer of
despatches from Anderson to the Govern
ment.

that the State at once repeal. any laws she
may have enacted tendihg.to obstruct the

which has been taken shwa the comment:4;cent
of the troubles. This pisklie property has bee
left without garrisons and troops fur its protec
n
tion, because no persbn doubted its security un
der the flag of the country in all the States of
the Union. Besides, our small army has scarce
ly been sufficient to guard-our remote territories
against Indian ineureinne„
The seizure of this property, from all nppear
unces, line been purely aggressive, nod not res is
torten to any attempt to coerce a State or States
to renriin in the Union. At tho begining of
these unhappy 4 trbobles, I determided that no
act of mine should increase the excitement in ei
ther section of this country. If the political
conflict were to end in civil war, it was my de
termined purpose not to commence it nor even to
furnish an excuse for it by any net of- this Goy.
eremoot. My opinion remains unchanged, that
justice ns well as a sound policy, repuires ns still
to seek a peaceful solution of the questions at
issue between the North and South. Entertain
ing this conviction, I refrained even from send
ing reinforcements to Major Anderson, who com
manded the forte in Charlestbn harbor, until en
absolute necessity for doing so shall make itself
apparent, lest it might unjustly be regarded as a
menace of military coercion, and thus furnish,
if not a provdcation, Ttt least a pretext for an out
break on the partof South.Carolinn. No neces
sity for these reinforcements - seemed to exist.
I was assured by distinguished and upright
gentlemen from South Carolina, that no attack
upon Major Anderson was intended,; but that, on
the contrary, it was the desire of the State au
thorities, as much as it was my own, to avoid the
fatal consequences which must eventually follow
a military collision.
And here I deem it proper to submit, fur your
information, copies of a communication dated
28th December, 1860, addressed to me by R. W.
Barnwell, J. 11. Adams, and James L. Orr, "com
missioners" of South Carolina, with the acconspa
nYirtg documents; and copies df my answer there
to,
dated 31st December.
In further explanation 'of :Major Andereon's
removal frOteFurt Moultrelcr Fort Sumpter, it is
proper 'to state that,aftbrlny answer to the South
:CaritlitM:" commissioners," the War Department
received a letter Vona' that gallant officer, dated
on the - 17th DeMioThe`r, 1860, the day _after this
movement, froin 'Which the following is an . ex
tract :
will add, na my opinion, that many things convin
ced me that the mithoritiee of the State designed to
'proceed to a {motile act."
Evidently referring to the ordere, dated Decem
ber 11, of the late Secretary of War.
" Under this Impression, I could not hesitate that it
Vas my solemn duty to move my command from a fort
which we Could oot propably have held longer than
fortyeight or sixty hours, to this one, whore my power
of resistance Is increased to a very grant degree."
It will be recollected that the concluding port
of these orders was in the following term,:
"The smallness of Jour force dill not permit yea,
perhaps ' to occupy more than one of the three forts;
but an attack on or attempt to take possession of either
one of them will he regarded as an act of hostility, end
you may then put your command into either of them
which you may doom most proper to increase its pow
er of resistance. You are also authorised to take aim-
Bar defensive steps whenever you have tangible evi
dence of a design to proceed to a hostile act."
It issnid tha serious apprehensions are, to porno
extent, entertnined, in which I do not Acre that
the peace of this District may be disturbed before
the 4tb of March next. In any event, it will be
my duty to preserve it, and this duty Anil be
performed.
In conclusion, it may be permitted to Moro re
mark, that I have often warned my countrymen
of the dangers which now surround us. This
may be the last time I shall refer to the subject
officially. I feel that toy duty has been faithfully,
though it may be i:nperfeetly, performed ; and,
whatever thermal!, may be, I shall carry to my
grave the consciousness that I at least meant well
for'my country.
