WM. M. BRESLIN, Editor and Proprietor.
LEBANON, PA
WEDNESIIAY, DECEMBER 18, 1801
.The Courier thinks that it' we
over get the night-mare it will be in
the ehape of a meiona. No wonder.
That a
_parcel of niggers ithould
rapt this, the happiest (heretofore)
government on, the face of the earth;
throw the nation into a civil war; im
poverish the people; destroy thou
sands of lives, and bring upon' us
horrors:without end, is enough to put
any night•mare into the shape of a
nigger.
op, To confiscate the property of
rebels, whether it be slave property
or otherwise, is perfectly right and
proper; but the distinction between
confiscation and emancipation is vast.
If slaves are confiscated, they should
be treated as any other property, and
used to assist in defraying the expen
ses of the war. If you emancipate
them they cease to be property at
that moment, and you cannot use
them without payment for their la
bor. Hence emancipation is of no
more injury than con'fiseation to the
rebels, but ruin to the Union man of
the South, while it destroys the value
of' the. property tons. Emancipation .
would violate the constitution and.de
stroy the last spark of loyalty in the
South, while confiscation would be.
legal, and beneficial to the Union men
of all sections. A recent letter frOm
"Kentucky, on this subject,
Suppose you were to confiscate
lands owned by rebels in Kentucky,
and instead of selling them for the
benefit of the GoVernment at the fair
market value, should throw them o
pen to pre-emption, and thus bring
down the value Of all the land. in
Kentucky to a dollar and a quarter
an acre. Would you not be ruining
um as well as the rebels,
cutting our
throats with the same knife you used
on thorn. 1)o you propose to inun
date us with free niggers? I would
as lief be in bell at once."
ABOLITION LOGIC
The Abolitionists all say that 'Sta.
'very is the cause, of our national
'troubles" and hence the'only way to
restore pence is to "destroy Slavery."
Suppose now we draw a parallel
case. A man is walking along the
-public highway and has upon his per.
eon aiarge sum of money, which fact
in known to a gang of thieves,.who
fall upon him with the design of rob.
bing,bhu of 'his money. The high.
waymen-say "that the man's money
is the cause of all the diffieulty,-and
therefoh to end' the trouble they must
take the money aWay from him."-.

estimates, in his report, thatthe pub

per pound on brown sugar, 3 cents on

In the judgment of the Secretary,
it will be necessary to increase the
direct tax so as to produce from tbe
loyal States alone, a rek'enue of'at
least twenty- millions of dollars, and
to lay such duties on stills and dis
tilled liquors, on , tobacco,- .on bank

REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES
The opposition are curious political
economists. Their principles, if not
dangerous, are absurd. The follovV;
i lig from the Philadelphia Daily/V - 6.es
of Wednesday, has :1:13 e r nieri t of,speak
ing straight out,what otherl confuse
by an abundance of words and un•
meaning praises. That the idea so
plainly advanced is, a Republican be
lief, we do not doubt,. from the fact
that we see it in all their papers and
hear it at every corner during the
past six months. We have cut up the
News' article into sentences,.so as to
comment-upon each understandingly:
"With We establishment of a debt of a Thou
sand Millions of Dollars in prospectiVe, there
need be no great fear that our currency system
will be goon deranged by the- papuent of that
vast sum"—
No, not during the present century
at least, if the "derangement" de
pends on the "payment."
"When peace is once again happily restored,
and the wheels of industry in full operation, sr
we shall have a good currency, and -enough of it
to supply alt our businesirequirements, the rates
of interest will full to so low a figure, that the
Government will be .able to carry,wdeht of, a
Thousand Millions without embarrassment, and
without imposing serious burthens upon the
poplar
No doubt the "if" was *ell .placed
to start the argument, hilthow will
it be with those whO -won't 'have.e
notigh "good currency" to supply
their "requirements"--basinoss or
"and'if the National stooks can be made .
avail
able for prOeuring money, such a debt will'be
fuund to be an immense advaiunte to the
oountry."—
"If" again—the. never-failing Re
publican argument? "Debt" being
such an "immense :ad:Vantago!' for -A
nation, the principle should hold good
for States, for counties, for cities, for
boroughs, for districts, and for indi
viduale. But what are the.. facts:—
Without mentioning the IMpoverish
ed and debt-ridden kingdoms 'md
principalitieS of Europe, we shall on
ly instance Mexico., It has a Nation
aldebt, and the Sheriff, in the shape
of England, France and Spain, is now
on his way to Collect it. 'Pennaylva

Scribed" for Railroad stocks a few

of.its Railroad debt, and : has been
trying to repudiate it. if the prin."
ciplo is a correct one, we as individu
als never understood it, for' instead of
trying to keep out of -debt, and. pay
ing of what we owe, we should run
into debt for the sake of the "im
mense advantage:"
I, lrebave frequently adverted to the fact that
the public debt of England enables the tnanufao•
torero of that country to have au abundance of
capital at low rates of interest, and it is this
which had heretofore enabled, them to mush the
manufacturing establishments of this country:"
"Yes, "abundance of .capital" and
millions of "white slaves" to- ork it!
That is just. the position:many would
like to see this . country in—and to

country, and it is to be , honed that souse measure

stuff as the - .Yews' article should be
made a criminal offence.

A EEPUI3LI&AN SPEECH
Our :Republican friends and the
Courier find so much fault with the
speeqlies and letters that, we publish,
that we have determined to please
their for or co,, even if we shOuld die
in thc attempt. Here is .a speech by
Senator Trumbull, just delivered in
the United States Senate. He is ono
of the first men in, the Republican
ranks; hails froth Illinois, the i'reSi
dent's own state r and is deeply in the
confidence of the latter.. To be sure
we do not approve-of all he says, but
we.do approve nioSt beartily'Of the
main subjeet-matter of. his remarks,
some of which Wo have italicised•—
.Now, 'if the: Republicans generally
were to place themselves right and
constitutional on the nigger quo stion,
as does Mr. Trumbull We would. have
no difficulty at all in enrolling their
whole crowd into the Democratic
ranks, and then party distinctions
would be speedilY - effaced, rebellion
crushed, and the Uuoin4reserved :
want no other authority for putting
down even this gigantic -rebellion than
such as may be derived from the , Consti
tution properly interpreted: . It is equal
even to this great emergency, and the
more we study its provisions, the more it
i„.tried in troublous times, the greater
will be our admiration for the instrument
and ,our veneration for its, authors. , As , A
unpopular as the avowal may be fig the
2noment among the thoughtless, There de
clare that I am for suppres,sing this
monstrous rebellion ' according to -law,
and.in no other way, and I believe. that
Congress has, only to discharge its duty,
and the army perform its With energy and'
activity, to bring;the war,to a speedy. and
successful issue. • We pre_ fighting to
maintain the Constitution. and ,it; especi
ally becomes us in appealing to the peo
ple tecome,to its rescue; not to violate it
ourselves. HoW arc we better than tke
rebels if both Alike set at nought the ain
slitution.? I warn my countrymen who
stand ready to toterate ieriy act done in
piod faith for the suppression of the re
bellion, not' to sanction usurpations:of
power which may hereafter become pre
cedents for .the destruction . of constitu
tional liberty. .* " 4 13nt while fighting
this battle in behalf of Constitutional lib.
erty, it behooves us especially to see to
it tharthe Constitution receives no detri

ed but little in suppressing the insurrec

tution, for the chains which the bond men
wears are none the lighter because they
were pressed by his own and noCanother's

SAD CALAMITY--One of the most dis

notice, occurred in BloOlufleld, .Perry

appears that Mr. William H. Henderson
had, a short time previous; .procured a
bout two pounds of powder for the pur
pose of blasting a well. Having got the
powder damped he placed' it - on'the man
tle, above the stove, to dry. Dn the day
the accident occurred, Mr. IL - was arrang
ing something on the shelf when he spill
eda portion of the powder on the stove,
and the remainder or the floor. His wife
took a broom and swept the powder off
the stove, by which means .the whole of
it became ignited, producing a terrible
explosion and. burning and his
wife and child in a horriblelnianner. The
child died Ori 'the. Friday morning
lag from the effect of its Instils. Mrs. H.
is now lying in a
