Secession Doctrine and its Consequen
ces-
In the settlement of the disputes be
tween the North and South which it is
possible may result from the present flurry
down South, the doctrine ot the right of
secession must be forever settled, for if
recognized or allowed in any contingency,
we do not see how any Northern member
of Congress could conscientiously appro
priate a dollar of public money towards
erecting new fortifications or strengthening
old ones, or for building costly public edi
fices, in States where this sentiment is
held, for in such ease it would be no long
er for the benefit of the " Union," but for
the States separately. Nor would it be
worth our while hereafter to acquire a foot
of territory, either by purchase or conquest,
for with a compact of no more strength
than a rope of sand, such territory as soon
as it became a State, could walk out of the
Union, set up for itself, or annex to Mexi
co, Canada, or some French or Spanish
Island ! With such a doctrine, Florida j
would take the Pensacola Navy yard and a
number of forts, Georgia its forts, South
Carolina its forts and arsenal, Virginia
Fortress Monroe and the Kip Raps, two of
the most costly fortifications in America,
with the Navy Yard and other works near
Norfolk, Ac. A few such facts are suffi
cient to show what an absurdity is grow
ing up among the Southern leaders of de
mocracy. and how disastrous it must prove
to ail future legislation by Congress for the
benefit of such States as will set up this
infamous claim.

sensation dispatcher seldom the people
Jtnow,
Pennsyfouua and the Fugitive Slave
Law.
The so-called democratic newspapers
which pretty generally are now apologizing
, for the treason hatching in the South, pre
tend that one of the principal causes for
dissatisfaction is to be found in State Laws
at the north, nullifying the Fugitive Slave
& Law To srive color to this false state
ment, they pretend to give a list of States
s fsee Lewistown Democrat of week before
last) which they say obstruct this law. In
some States there are provisions probably
/ in conflict with the statute of Congress,
r but ii so, why not reeort to the Supreme
Court, as was done by Maryland and Penn
sylvania a number of years ago, and have
- those laws declared unconstitutional ? For
■ our part we do not justify or uphold wrong
laws in either section, but those who throw
. all the aggression on the North ought to
carry back their memories a few years and
I recall the expulsion of Mr. Hoar from
South Carolina, having been sent there by j
the State of Massachusetts as an agent to
see that no injustice was done to the free
negroes on board of Massachusetts vessels, '
. tj the brutal and cowardly assault on Sum- j
. ner, to numerous cases of kidnapping, and
to the maltreatmen tof Northern men in
the South, too often without cause.
The laws passed in Pennsylvania are !
principally designed to prevent kidnap
ing and riotous proceedings in ease of an
arrest of a fugitive. If these conflict with
the fugitive slave law, the singular feature
will be presented this winter of a set of
self-styled democratic papers and politicians
appealing to the Peoples and Republican
party —or as they like to style them the
Black Republican party — to Jo justice to
the South by repealing acts every one of!
which was passed by legislatures cither in j
whole or part democratic, and sanctioned j
|by democratic Governors ! Even the new
Penal Code adopted last winter, and con- ;
taining some ol these provisions, was the
labor of three democratic lawyers, wa3 pas
sed by a democratic Senate, and signed by |
a democratic Governor! The Peoples and |
Republican party having now both branch
es of the Legislature and the Governor, we ; i
hope they will appoint committees of able
men to examine these laws dispassionately, j
and if they are in violation of the Consti- ' 1
tution of the United States or laws made
in pursuance thereof, repeal these demo- j
cratic violations—first, because it would be j
right, and secondly, because the Peoples !
aud Republican party, with more majority 1
than many slaveholding States have votes, '
can not only afford to be just, but raagnan-
imous.
As the public seem to have but little
knowledge of facts relating to this subject,
we quute a portion of an article from the
Philadelphia Inquirer which will perhaps
enlighten some folks who seem to have
more faith in " democratic' - newspaper
statements than they have in aught else
that is iii print—the Scriptures not ex
cepted.
In 1820, the Legislature of Pennsylvania
passed the act " to give effect to the provis
ions of the Constitution of the United States,
relative to fugitives from labor, for the pro
tection of people of color, and to prevent kid
napping.'' Under this act a person, named
Edward Prigg, was indicted by the Grand
Jury of York county for having carried off a
negro woman from the State, with intent to
sell, and dispose of her as a slave. The negro
was shown and admitted to have been aelave
who had escaped from Maryland. The de
fendar.t, Prigg, was the agent of her owner,
who had obtained a warrant from a magis
trate, in accordance with the act of 1826, on
which the negro was arrested and brought be
fore the magistrate, who then refused to have
anything to do with the cas . Prigg then
took the slave back to Maryland without com
plying with the provisions of that act, re
quiring him to establish his claim before a
magistrate. And for this he was indicted un
der the act. The defendant was found guilty,
and the ease was carried up on appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States, which
gave a pro forma judgement against the de
fendant, and thence to the Supreme Court of
the United States. On the argument before
| the latter .tribunal the cause was conducted
on the footing of an amicable sgit between
Pennsylvania and Maryland, which had be
j come a part / in interest; and the good faith
j of Pennsylvania in passing the act of 1820
was admitted by the counsel for the defen
dant. The Supreme Court decided that that
i part of the act of 1826 under which the de
fendant has been indicted and convicted for
kidnapping, was unconstitutional; because
under the clause of the Constitution, the own
er of a fugitive slave had the right of recap
tion, provided he can do it without any
breach of the peace or illegal violence. And
the court went further and decided, though
with 6ome dissenting voices, that the whole of
the portion of the act which provided the
mode in which the reclamation of fugitives
from labor should be condn<*rr>t
stitutiona!, because exclusive
jurisdiction over the sulject. The court fur
ther decided that the constitutionality of the
power conferred upon State magistrates by
the act of Congress of 1793 was doubtful, al
though such magistrates might, if they choose,
i exercise that authority, unless forbidden by
the State LegiHature.
The case was decided in 1842, and the
act against kidnapping being held to be un
constitutional, a large class of persons were
left without any protection from abduction ;
6inee, if the negro stealer could only escape
with his victim to a slave State, he would be
able to dispose of him beyond recall Aecor
i dingiy, the Legislature of this State, in 1847,
, passed an act oil this subject, which is still in
, force, except a single section repealed in
1852 forbidding the use of the State and
county prisons lor the detention of fugitive
slaves. This act is. in substance, as follows;
The first tad second sections against kidnap
| pDg are almost identical with those of the
act of 1826, except that the words "free ne
gro or mulatto" are used instead of " negro
or mulatto." These sections have since been
held constitutional. The third section pro
hibits judges and other magistrates of tbe
State from exercising anj jurisdiction in fu
gitive slave cases. While this section is pre
dicated upon the principle reeogniied by the
United States Supreme Court, that the States
have a right to prohibit their magistrates
from acting under the fugitive slave law of
1793, it perhaps would have been as well if
the State had abstained from any legislation
at all in this particular. The admission of
the court that a State might prohibit her mag
istrates from acting under a Congressional
law. did not require that every State should
proceed to do so. Besides, the general cur
rent of the opinion in Prigg's case is against
any " intermedling" of State authority in the
matter. Pennsylvania would have set a good
example to the other States if she had liter
ally complied with the judgement of the Su
preme Court, and left all legislation on the
subject to Congress.
Now, however, the present fugitive slave
law, by implication, takes away the power to
act under it from all State judges and magis
trates, and confides those powers exclusively
to the United States commissioners andjudg
es. The fourth section of the act of 1847
prohibits tbe owner of the fugitive from re
taking him in a violent and tumultuous man
ner, so as to disturb or endanger the public
peace, and imposes a penalty or fine, of not
more than one thousand dollars, and impris
onment for not more than three months, on
conviction, The limitation to the right of re
caption, indicated by the Supreme Court, wag
that tbe owner must exercise it without any
breach of the peace or illegal violence. The
fifth section of the act of 147 reserves
the right of the State judges to issue writs of
habeas corpus in all cases of arrest and im
prisonment. This act has been re enacted in |
the penal code passed at the last session of
the Legislature, with an additional section,
prohibiting, under a penalty of five hundred
dollars, any attempt to enforce a sale made
within this State of a fugitive slave who is
within this State at the time of sahe.
fanaticism stijl continues
rampant in the South, though
there conservative men are t-king a stand
against the suicidal policy urged by those
who hope to rise into importance on the
ruin of the country. The whole scheme
is evidently the plan recommended by Yan
cey " to precipitate the Cotton States into
a revolution." With the exception of the
tories of South Carolina all the Senators
will be in their seats.
tSf There has been a general suspension of
specie payments by the banks south of New
Y'ork—the measure in this and the adjoining
States being one of protection against taking
coin southward. There is but little doubt
that the disunion movement in the South
will bring ruin or distress on one half of its
inhabitants.

be more apt to take him for a mulatto than

the yard of his residence on lirown street,
fracturing the thigh bone. The Judge

NEW SCHEDULE. —It will BE seen by
reference to the time table of the railroad
that a considerable change in the running
of trains was made on Monday last. The
mail train arriving here at 10 a. m. runs
only from Ilarrisburg. We believe the
company would do much towards concilia
ting local travel by having two trains both
ways to take up and set down passengers
at all stations, as many persons still contin
ue to come down the river on horseback or
in carnages, in most cases trains stopping
only in one direction. Thus, from Newton
Hamilton a passenger cannot come here at
a proper time to do business without walk
ing to Mount Union, while upost Inconsist
ently provision is made for his going up.
Other stations are at the same disadvant
age, and we have no doubt the same state
of things exists in all the counties along
the route. Why not make two trains sub
servient to the public, and make one a real
through train, stopping only at the leading
stations ?

The Bellefonte p>apers give the following
account of a robberv recently committed in
Centre county :
On Wednesday night, tfre Ttb inst., the
residence of Mr. Jacob iieckinan, an old res
ident of Penn twp.. Centre co., was entered
by seven men aud robbed of 1,500 in gold.
The ruLbe's were disguised in various -ays.
and to tliis time they have not been detected,
or any trace of them found. They broke
open the outside door with a post and enter
ed the room w here Mr. Gentzel (son-in-law of
Mr lieckman.) and his wife was sleeping
down stairs. Mr. Gentzel, in alarm, jumped
from his bed and commenced dressing him
self, when two of the men presented their pis
tols and commanded them riot to move. Oth
ers went up stairs and held Mr. Ileekman.
similarly in terror em, while some of the par
tv got the money. Immediately on entering
she hcuse, the robbers struck a light and pro
ceeded coolly and boldly to commit their mid
night deed. This is certainly one of the most
flagrant violations of the law, and the safety
of society we have heard of in m: ny a day.
It is almost incredible to think that such a
deed could be committed in Centre county,
or that demons so black hearted could move
among us. It is a warning to those who
have accumulated by honest industry, a sum
of money, not to hoard it in their houses, in
stead of availing themsel es pr in- •
vestments.
A gun and an axe had ben carefully re
moved from the house, as a matter of preca
tion, doubtless preparatory to co.umiting the
deed, and were found somewhere on the
premises the next day. Who the p- rpetrators
are, or from whence they came, is a matter
open for conjecture. From the circuinstan
ces in connection with the case, it is evident
that the persons epgtjged jn thg robbery, were
not only familiar with tlie bouse. but well
aware of the exact locality in which the old
gentleman kept his money. IJ'e hope that a
strict vigilance will be exercised Ly

The Qestion of Xeyro Suffra-je — Vote of
the Republicans. —The official returns of the

this city, of the 95,000 who voted upon tl e
Electoral ticket, only 39.000, ip the gross,
voted upon the amendment, and only s.>nie
1,600 gave their suffrages for it. It is evi

with its majority ip the of 5*0,000 has
decidedly pronounced agrinst admitting col
