them was a cup of coffee, without sugar or cream,
and half cooked fat pork, with the hardest kind
of dry bread. Donations sent there, unless per
sonally given the soldiers , by the 'donors or the
association, seldom reach them.
In the lower roams of the Capitollt was found
that tables covered. with every' luxury were

very candidly says: "Nobody pre

This is not true. Every Democrat,
every loyal man in the country, what
osier' may be his polities, 'does care
whether the President's .ftets are con•
stitutionitl or not: The Abolitionists
only do not ease for the -Constitution

Under these circumstances our duty
is. to support the Constitution and the

But, we, w* 1 pot , impeach the reader's

bodyknowni that if the negroesire set
free they, will remain in the . United States.
when. it is Considered that 'Abolition
ism will belie taught them to believe that
ihe Northern free States are the nedro's
paradise,it will be evident to all that the
blacks, when freed, will immediately set
their faces hitherward. Indeed, the very
circumstance of their changed situation
will beget a ilesire for further novelty.--
Besides, the 'theory of the emancipation
ists in this business is, that the negroes
will as they must, fight, their way through
to our lines—that, on hearing that Massa
Lincoln has set them free, on paper, they
will avail themselves of Whatever weap
ons may be within their reach, and will
slaughter such old and defenceless white
men as have not gone to the war, mur
der the woriren and children, and make
off to the 'Federal lines, marking their
way- with bNchery and blood. So, the
conclusion is inevitable that if the four
Millions 9f Southern slaves are set free
we shall hale them swarming, in th,e,
Northern States, numerous as the frogs,
and the. flies, the locust and the lice of
Egypt. This will be the curse put upon
our Pharoah,andlis people, not because
of their refusing liberty to the children of
'lsrael, but because of their giving liberty
to the children of Ham !
Now, leaving out California and Ore

: ordering on the (present)
slave State:i' New England, by its remote
situation, .8. _uninviting, climate, and its
sterile soil, would, to a great extent, es
cppe the coin which its policy will entail
on the other Northern• States. ' New York
and Michio„Atz will receive a considerable
portion of the "freemen," Wisconsin and 1
Minnesota not so many ; Kansas, we be
lieve;has poised a law calculated to pre
vent such an, influx of negroes—but that
State is under the Abolitionists' rule, and
of what account is law when it runs coun
ter to their purposes'? illinois has strin
gent - laws against permitting negroes to
come to reside within its borders, and we
believe the laws of Indiana place impedi
ments in therWay of negroes immigrating
to that State. So the probability appears
very strong that when the four millions of
negroes are let loose upon the North,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey will
be the chief receptacles of them. But,
suppose wedivide them equally between
the whole seventeen Northern States—
this twill give to each State two hundred
and thirty-five thousand-two hundred and
thirty-five (235,235) in - addition to the
stock already on hand. But, as we have
seen, there is no probability that there
will be an equal division of those culotte'.
Wed negrues amongst. the Northern
States, Pennsylvania and Ohio would
be likely to receive one half, at least, of
the whole low millions. The proclama
tion ;of the President, if its purpose,be ful
ly realized, will very probably.add a mtill
ion. of negroes to .the. population Of Penn
sylvania: , .!._,.. .' , —:,
Think :of tbis, laboring. tnen 'llliinlt of
it, tax-payers r Our fields will be black
with negro laborers; our factories and
workshops and wharves will fairly stink
with them ; our prisons and poor-houses
will have to be enlarged to hold the vast
increase of criminals and paupers that
they will furnish us, and our taxes will
have to be increased accordingly !
Southern products will be vastly abridg
ed; and the prices of cotton goods, sugar, '
tobacco, rice, etc, which our people want,
be . proportionably increased. Al
ready these things are nearly double in
price what they were two years ago.—
When this negro exodus from the South
shall occur, and the negro laborer is
transplanted to Pennsylvania, a poor
man will not be able to afford the luxury
of a muslin shirt, nor of sugar in his tea
or coffee—indeed, he may have no tea
or coffee to put it in !
A million more of negroes in Penn-
Sylvania ! Ten hundred thousand more
of negroes in Pennsylvania! Think of
this, white laboring men, and remember
that these imbruted Africans will not on
ly be your peers in the field and in the
factory, but, if Abolitionism be carried
out to its legitimate (or illegitimate) re•
sults, they will he your peers at the bal
lot box ; and, in localities where they
may settle so thickly as to have a major
ity of votes, they will be office-holders,
Justices of the Peace, Constables, etc.
And, if negro equality is to prevail, they
will be candidates for the hands in mar•
ridge of your daughters and sisters, and,
the forte of this negro delusion may be
mine so great that, ere fifty years elapse,

Ittir Major General Nelson was shot
at the Galt House, Louisville, Ky, by Gen
eral Jefferson C. Davis, on Monday week.
They were both attached to the U. S.
Army , and both - enjoyed the reputation
of being excellent officers. Davis. had
been rudely treated - :)y - Nelson, and on.
MondaY morning went to'theGalt House
to demand an apology of h im. NelSmt
stead of apolod;:ing cursed Davis in the
most infamous manner, denounced him as
a coward, and struck him in the face.—
Davis obtained a pistol from a friend—no•
tilled Nelson to defend himself, and then
shot him. Nelson died twenty minutes
after.—Nelson was formerly a Lieuten
ant in the U. S. Navy. Davis was one
of the Fort Sumpter garrison under Ma
jor, now Ge,n. Anderson, and served
with great di4tinpliort in the tiattle !Of
Ridge, Arkansas.

Reading and Columbia Railroad--
The work of Jaying, the track on this
road is being steadily pushed forward.- -
The rails are now down from Columbia
to within about three miles of Manheim,
and in two or three weeks our friends in
that neighborhood will probably be greet
ed with the shrill neigh and hoarse cough
of the "Iron Horse" as he rushes along
on his way through new scenes, and to
accomplish new labors. The track lay
ing has not progressed as rapidly as it
might, but this is not owing to a want of
energy on the part of those engaged up
on it, but from the fact that the cross ties
and other material , could not be furnished
any sootier.
President Taylor's Plantation.—
The Montpelier (Vt.) Journal contains
a letter from a soldier of the Vermont
Eighth, dated Camp Allemands, August
29, in which he states that on. the previ
ous Thursday the property of General
Richard Taylor, son of old General Tay
lor (by whony it was bequeathed to him).
was confiscated, the son being now in the
rebel army. The slaves, one hundred
and fifty in number, were all declared
emancipated, while the plantation was
plundered by the Union soldiers. Accor
ding to the writer
It is one of the most splendid planta
tions that I ever saw. There are on it
seven hundred acres of sugar cane, which
must rot upon the ground if the Govern
'meat does not harvest it. I. wish you
could have seen the soldiers plunder this
plantation. After the stock was driven
off the boys began by ordering the slaves
to bring out everything there was to eat
and drink. They brought out hundreds
of bottles of wine, eggs, preserved figs
and peaches, turkeys, chickens, and hon
ey in any quantity.
I brought away a large camp-kettle
and frying pans that belonged to old Gen
eral Taylor, and also many of his private
papers. I have one letter of his own
handwriting, and many from Secretary
Marcy ; some. from General Scott, and
some from the traitor Floyd. I brought
ib catnp four botdee' Of claret wine.—
Lieutenant=-:--brought away half a
barrel of the best syrup from the sugar
and a large can of honey. The
camp kettle and pans I intend to send
