THE PLACE WHERE MEN SHOULD DIE. How little recke it 'where men die, When once the moment's past, In which the dim and glancing eye Has looked on earth its last; Whether beneath its sculptured urn The coined form shall rest, Or, in its nakedness return, Back to its mother's breast. Death is a common friend or foe, As different men may hold ; And at his summons each must go— The timid and the bold ! - But when the spirit free and warm Deserts as it must, What matter where the lifeless form Dissolves again to dust? The soldier falls, 'mid corses piled, Upon the battle plain, Where rainless war steed gallops wild, Among the mangled slain; But though his come be grim to see, Hoof-trampled on the sod, What reeks it when the spirit free Has soared aloft to God? The coward's dying eye may close Upon his downy bed, And softest hands his limbs compose, Or garment o'er them spread; But ye, who shun the bloody fray, Where fell the mangled brave, Go—strip his coffin lid away, And see him in his grave. 'Twere sweet, indeed, to close our eyes With those we cherish near, And wafted upward, by our sighs, Soar to some calmer sphere; But Whether on the scaffold high Or, in the battle's van, The tittest place where man can die Is where he dies for man! LAYING DOWN THE KINGDOM BY S. lI..ORTON So Thomas is going to get married, To bring home a bride, a young wife; Be has said it himself, and he never Deceived me or joked in his life. When William got married it gave me No thought of regret or surprise; For the boy seemed just made for a woman— To live din the light of her eyes. And when Clara was wed to the Sonthron— Though Clara, my daughter, was dear— And removed to the tar Rappahannock, It cost but a sigh and a tear. Bat Thomas, my ataff and my eldest, seemed never to care for the girls, So proud, like the oak, to surrender At last to soft eyes and soft curls I Since John died—six years ago Christmas— Our Thomas—he , s always the same— With momthmithe strength of his father liar stayed up the house and the name. I never once thought he could marry, So kingly, so firm, and so kind— And me! tears will come: they are needed; For my old eyes, indeed, must be blind. He tells me I'm getting so aged, I need more repose, more fresh air; So a daughter he'll bring me to lighten My burthen of labor and. care. Ah me! he may think so ; he brings me A mistress, it must be, instead ; The sceptre must pass to another, And I to my grave, or my bed. • But, hold! It is well! omy Father r Help me to subdue my proud heart; I have reigned like a queen ; but 'tis over, And another of right takes the part. I yield hei my empire, for ever; And, Thomas, I'll love all that's thine— Thy chosen shall have all her honors, As I've always had all of mine. Come hither, my little man, Tommy, Come hither, my rosebud, my Jane; You are Grandinama's darlings and treasures Her pearls hung about her again.. Not Papa, Uncle Will, nor Aunt Clara— So grand and so sweet when she comes— Ever gave me one half of the pleasure Of these little sprouticngs of Tom's. They have kisses and cheer in the morning; They have kisses and cheer all day long; And their sports and their griefs so alarming Which always are cured with a song. They know Where to find a consoler; As little birds fly to their nest, They climb Grandma's knees for a cover, And always find peace on her breast. SPEECH OF HON. W. H. WELSH, .Made in the Senate on the 12th inst., on the resolutions relative to the organiza tion of Congress. An amendment was pending, offered by Mr. Schell, when Mr. 1l elsh moved the indefinite postponement of the amendment, together with the original resolutions. The Speaker put the question to the Senate when Mr. Welsh said : I have made this motion, not with a. desire to embarrass in any manner this day's proceedings, but because I am anxious to speak, at this time, upon all the resolutions reported by the committee, and, in doing so, I wish to be strictly in order. I regret, sir, that I am not able, on account of the severity of a cold from which I am suffering, to speak as freely and as fully as I would like to do ; yet, notwithstanding this difficulty, I cannot let this occasion pass without giving my views frankly and unreservedly upon the important questions now pending before the Senate. Ido not entirely agree with my friend, the Senator from Chester, that resolutions of this character are altogether out of place in legislative bodies. I think, on the contrary, that there are times in the history of States and communities when it is eminently proper and necessary for the people, through their Representa tives, to declare their attachment to some great principle, and express their adherence to some chosen doctrine in government. There was a time in the history of this country when resolutions adopted by State Legislatnres, resolutions which did not partake in any degree of the nature of laws, were shaped into the corner stones of a great and enduring party—a party, sir, which is inseparably associated with the glory and prosperity of our common Union, and . which, though it be in a minoiity in this Legislature to-day, I , honestly believe, commands the admiration and respect of a vast majority of the people of this Republic. Sir, when the Alien and Sedition Laws were placed upon the statute book of the United States, it became necessary for the States of Ken tucky and Virginia to pass resolutions declaring these enactments to be unconsti tutional, and, at the same time, clearly defining the rights of the several States— and those resolutions, drawn by Jefferson and Madison, became in time the founda , tion of the Democratic party of this Union. Nay, more. They at this day form the very charter of our common liberties, asserting as they do, in grand and compre hensive language, religious toleration, free dom of speech, and freedom of the press, and claiming for the foreigner, who seeks a shelter upon our shores, the protecting arm of that Government which was inauga- rated here for suffering-humanity through out the civilized globe. But the resolutions now before the Senate are widely different in their nature. They assert no principle now necessary to be placed upon our stat ute book. They- propose no remedy for any existing evil. And, as I said yester day, and I now repeat it with all respect to the majority of this body, they contain declarationd and assertions which, are not founded in fact, bat which in my estima tion are utterly fallacious. Believing this, I raise my voice to-day against them. " Hear me for my cause." In discussing this question, I have no fault to find with the hasty manner in which these resolutions are proposed to be, hurried through by the majority. I have no complaint to make, in reference to- the manner in which this debate has been conducted. Being in the minority here, I am fully sensible of the peculiar position I occupy. We have heard a great deal, sir, of the tyranny of majorities, and of the rights of minorities. I am one of those who believe that among the rights of the latter is, chiefly, the right to be voted down ; and as we will no doubt enjoy this privilege very frequently during the present session, I think we had better regard the matter as complacently as we can, and endeavor to get used to it as soon as possible. Now, if we carefully examine the resolu tions reported by the committee, we will find in them three leading declarations and assumptions. Fzrst, that the present National Administration is faithless and corrupt ; second, that the Republican party is the only one that protects the individual and industrial interests of the country ; and third, the assumption, that while the Republican party is the true friend and champion of the Union, the adherents of the pre -ent National Administration are disunionists, and are plotting the destruc tion of the Confederacy. I design, Mr. Speaker, to examine these several points in their order, and I shall do so as briefly as the nature of the ques- tion will allow. This ory of faithlessness and corruption, uttered by the party out of power, and seeking for supremacy, is no new one to the ears of the people. It is part of the cant of partisan orators, and forms the great staple of the partisan press. But I regret that it has found its way into the Legislative Halls of this Commonwealth. Its significance, however, is greatly des troyed, by the frequency with which it has mingled with the popular breeze. If we examine the curious and instructive history of politics in this country, we may learn how often this same song has been sung, by those who were struggling to dethrone a power and overwhelm a party. If we look back to the period when the oppo nents of the Administration of John Quincy Adams were laboring to defeat his re-election, we will discover that even in those halcyon days of the Republic, the cry of corruption was raised, and investigating committees sat in the Capitol at Washington. The Administration fo Martin Van Buren was assailed with the bitterest invectives. The history of the Galphin fraud, under the Administration of President Taylor, is as " familiar as household words " to the people of this country. And we all know that as late as three years ago, the House of Represen tatives of the United States ventilated the integrity of four of its Republican mem bers, and compelled three of them to resign their seats in Congress, under resolutions of condemnation and expulsion. And here to-day, sir, in the Senate of Pennsylvania, we hear the same cry of " faithlessness and corruption " against the present National Administration ! The charge is vaguely made, and is unsupported by a single specification. It is a bold. assertion only, uttered without a single fact to prove its truthfulness, and unsus tamed by any evidence whatever, outside of the simple declaration of the resolutions. I deny it, sir. I deny it, boldly and fear lessly—and Lmay leave the question here, because it is not necessary for me to attempt to prove a negative. I have no disposition to protract this debate by an elaborate -defense of the Administration of James Buchanan, and the policy of the Depiocratic party. Sir, the Government needs no defense, that by treaty stipula tions, opened the sealed empire of China to the holy feet of the Christian Missionary —that brought order out of chaos in our . Western Territories, and closed " the purple testament of bleeding war" in the frontier settlements of the Republic— that sent its " white winged messengers," armed with authority, to the Dictator of Paraguay, and wrested from that arrogant power, " indemnity for the east and se curity for the future "—and that proudly maintained the indisputable right of the American citizen, native or adopted, to be protected and shielded from harm, where ever the glorious flag of his country floated, and wherever his wandering foot steps strayed'. lam willing to leave the acts of this Administration to time and truth. I am willing to put the Democratic policy, as it is illustrated by the Cabinet at Washington, upon the country, and I believe, sir, that God will send it a safe deliverance. Equally unfounded and fallacious is the claim of the Republican party, so frequent ly advanced, to be 'the exclusive friend of the individual and industrial interests of the country. From the inception of the government, to the present hour, the Democratic party has ever been the true and real friend of the people. In al•1 times, and under all circumstances, it has battled for the abolition of prerogatives and for the destruction of monopolies.— Let us appeal to impartial.history, to learn the true position of our opponents upon this question. I hold, sir, that they are unsound upon this great question of pro tection to American industry, which is deemed by so many in this country the elixir of our social and political life, and which always assumes an undue promi nence in Presidential, and even in minor political struggles. I' say that the record is against the Republican party upon this point, and I ask you to turn with me, for a single moment, ,to the history of the passage of the last two Tariffs which were enacted by our National Legislature. It is well known, that when James K. Polk came into power, on the' 4th of March, 1845, he did so with the positive under standing that he would throw the full force of his Administration. in favor of a reduc tion of the Tariff of 1842. True to the pledge he ,made to the people' of the United States, he at once sought to reduce the duties upon. foreign importations to such e , THAT 001714TItY 18 THY 11108 T PROSPEROUS Walrati • 1.1 4:1 - 1" • • I • ; • LANCASTER CITY, P.A.., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 24, ,1860. rates as would raise revenue enough for the wants of the government, and would, also, incidentally afford ample protection to American industry. The rates of duties imposed by the Tariff of the 30th of. July, 1846, were exclusively ad valorem, and were arranged by schedules, from 5 to 100 per cent., while the free list was large and liberal in its provisions. But no sooner had this act passed and become the law of the land, than the fiercest denunciations were heaped upon the Pres ident and the Democratic) party. David I Wilmot was bitterly assailed by! the Op,' position press of Pennsylvania, for his vote upon the bill iii-the Hous..! of Repre sentatives—and George M. Dallas •was denounced as a traitor to his native Com monwealth, for giving the casting vote in its favor in the Senate of. the United States. Ruin was everywhere predicted, and a wide-spread national distress was deemed inevitable. And yet, sir, all the while, trade flourished, commerce increas ed, and our people were prosperous and happy. Now, we all remember that in 1857, the Republicans were in a large plurality in the House of Representatives. Nathaniel P. Banks. of Massachusetts, was elected Speaker, and Lewis D. Camp bell-, of Ohio, was appointed by him Chair man of the Committee of Ways and Means. Although it was a short session, a revision of the tariff of 1846 was absolutely de manded; and after the usual manceuver iugs in legislation, a report came from a committee of conference to both branches of Congress. The report was adopted in the last days of the session, and the rates of duties in it were arranged by schedules, from 4 to 30 per cent., the duties being exclusively ad valorem in their character, while the free list was greatly and largely extended. The vote in the House upon this reduction of the Tariff of 1846, • was one hundred and twenty-two yeas, and seventy-two nays. Among the former there were fifty-five members who had been elected as hostile to the Democratic party, and thirty-nine of that number were good, honest, and true Republicans ! In th Senate the vote upon acquiesc ing in the report of the committee of conference presented the same aspect. The leading Republicans, Seward, Fish, Foster, Trumbull and Wilson, voted to sustain the report—while the whole num ber of votes cast against the bill did not equal the number of righteous men re quired by the angel of the Lord to save ill-fated Sodom from destruction! And yet we are told that the Republican party is the friend of American industry—of Pennsylvania interests ! 1 say again, sir the record is against this organization, and that the claim, impliedly put forth in these resolutions, that the Republican party is the exclusive patron of the individnalin dustrial interests of the country, is unwar autable, and has no solid foundation in truth or justice. Sir, I do not wish to take any unfair advantage in reference to this important question. I do not wish to claim anything for the Democratic party which is not its due. I, therefore, sir, speak for myself alone, with no reference to any policy that may be determined j upon by my party, when 1 say, that while I am in heart and soul in favor of Pennsylvania interests, and of protecting the labor of her childern in all its departments, I would advocate such a Tariff only, as would raise, by the lowest possible rates of duties, sufficient revenue to meet the necessary wants of the governinent, and, at the same time, afford incidental protec tion to all the great and flourishing interests of the Union. I have now come, sir, to the third and last point in this discussion, which involves the great question of the Union; and is, at this time, unhappily occupying so much of the attention of the public mind. The covert assault upon the Democratic party on account of the " threats of disunion uttered on the floor of Congress," has awakened much surprise and astonishment in the hearts of the minority upon this floor. The charge made in the second of these ill-tempered resolutions, is as unfair as it is illogical. W,hy, sir, do the gen tlemen of the majority intend to hold the Democratic party responsible for the exci ted language that has been uttered by Southern men, in the crisis that is now impending ! So be it ! But we must " commend the poisoned chalice - to their own lips !" I remember most distincly, sir, that a Republican Senator from New York, high in position and commanding in talents, boldly declared that there was, in this country, " a higher law " than the Constitution. I recollect that a Republi can member of the National House of Representatives said that he looked for ward to the day when a servile, insurrec tion would desolate the homes of our Southern brethern, and that he would " hail it as the dawn of a political mille nium." I have not forgotten that an anti slavery fanatic in the North proclaimed the Constitution of the United States .to be " a Covenant with death, and an agreement with hell." Nor can I ever obliterate from my memory the treasonable senti ments of that champion of Republicanism in MaSsachusetts, who told the country that " the times now demanded an anti slavery Constitution, an anti-slavery Bible, and an anti-slavery God." Sir, the spirit of Northern fanaticism is reeking with the pestilential breath of treason and disunion ! And is it any wonder that the men of the South, who are sharers of our sacred compaet and should be partakers of all our Constitutional guarantees, should be appalled and startled from their propriety, when the flaming sword of insurrection is carried to their borders, and the flag of treason is borne upon their soil ? Is there not • some excuse for men to pause and inquire, "what is all this worth ?" when their rights are invaded, and, their homes are despoiled by malignant traitors? Sir, scarcely three months have passed away, since a miserable fanatic, led on by the doctrines of the " irrepressible con flict," and influenced by the wicked teach. ings of the .anti-slavery` apostles of.. the North, invaded:_' the ail e d, ;Virginia, for the purpose of hastenillr the dawn of that political millenium which was to be ushered in with fire and the sword. Gathering together a few deluded followers, in the dead of , night, he seized upon the proper ty of the United States, at Harper's Ferry, and raised the standard of rebellion against the laws of his country. Arming the negro, he told him to cut the throat of his master. Placing the torch in'the hands of the slave, he incited him to apply it to the dwelling of his protector:— Arrested in his arimes, the slaves them selves failing to join in his bloody .foray, he and four of his guilty comrades were taken captives, tried, condemned and most righteously executed.; and when the just sentence of the law was carried into effect, when the majesty of the outraged Com- , monwealth of Virginia was vindicated, there were, sir, in'Northern cities, assem blages of men and women, who gathered together to applaud the traitors, and to_ proclaim the gallows upon which John Brown was executed, as glorious as the cross of the Redeemer! When the time has Come for the citizens of any. portion of our country to arm their households when the torch of the incendiary flashes in the midnight—when the, property of the United States is seized by a band of desperadoes—when the soil of a neigh boring State is ruthlessly invaded—l ask you, sir, if the crisis has not arrived in the history of this Union, when men .may well think of the preservation of their Constitutional rights with fear and tremb ling, and demand in all sincerity and earnestness the true intent and meaning of the compact which our fathera made ? Mr. Speaker, I believe that we can all live happily and prosperously in this Union as it is, without wasting its substance in unfriendly strifes and internecine conflicts. I do not believe that at any time it is necessary for any man in the North, or in the South, to claim a dissolution of this Union as the panacea for any ills that may afflict the body politic. I am for the Union as it is, and for the Constitution as it came from its immortal framers ! What has given rise to all this trouble 1 It is the ceaseless agitation of the slavery question. Fifteen States in this Confed eracy, under the compromises of the Con stitution, a<sert their indisputable right to hold negroes as property. No one can successfully controvert that right. It is theirs by law, and under the Constitution. Why should any portion of the Northern mind be arrayed against it? Is not, then, the continual and everlasting agitation of this question, calculated to weaken the bonds of our beloved Union, and destroy the fraternal relations which should exist between all sections of the Republic ? Sir, the Constitution under which we are living to-day, was formed for our "more perfect union " in a spirit of compromise and concession. The question of negro slavery, at an early day, invoked the serious attention of the founders of this Government. It was one which they saw, in their prophetic visions, would be the prolific source of anxiety and trouble.— Henoe they dealt' with it in a spirit that well became the great work they were laboring to accomplish. The golden grains of compromise sparkled in all the cement they used to build up the fabric of our national 'libel ties. When tke Ordinance of 1784 was proposed for the government. of the Western Territory, after the cession by Virginia,to the United States of the domain lying northwest of the Ohio river, a proviso was inoorpOrated in that instrument, that, after the year 1800 slavery should not exist in any of the States formed out of the Territory.— The recognition of the right to hold slaves for sixteen years, evinced the disposition of the framers of that Ordinance to com promise the very point at issue. In 1785 this proviso was stricken out, and " the Ordinance, thus amended, became the aw of the land." In 1787 the question was again renewed in Congress, and the famous Ordinance of that year was adopted for the government of the Western Terri tory, with the restrictive clause inserted in it in reference to negro slavery, but containing, also the following proviso : " Provided, always that any person eseap ing into the same, from whom labor or service is lawfully claimed, in any one of the original States, such fugitive may be lawfully reclaimed and conveyed to the person claiming his or her labor or service as aforesaid." Again, we see the invoca tion of that, spirit of compromise and concession which runs parallel with the history of our country. In 1787, when the Constitution was adopted, the African Slave Trade constituted a part of the commerce of the whole civilized world. Spain, France, Holland, Denmark, Swe den, England, and Scotland, were engaged in the inhuman traffic. The `faithful historian informs us that " the original proposition' was to give Congress the power to abolish it from and afer the year 1800, but when Gen. Pinkney, of South Carolina, moved to strike out 1800 and insert 1808 as the period for its abolish ment, the motion prevailed by all the New England States voting for it with only four Slave States—Deleware, Virgin ia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania voting against it !" .fris needless to follow, at this 'time, all the enactments before and after the old Confederation, or to allude at length to all the Constitutional provis ions which bear upon this subject. They all' breathe but one spirit—that of conces sion—and while we live under the Constitution as it is, while we hold fast to its compromises as the Ark of our politi cal covenant, let us all remember 'that there can be no true liberty without the Union, no real Union without justice being fairly and faithfully rendered to every portion of the Confederacy:— Believing, sir, that these resolutions as they come from the committee, express the sentiments of a sectional party, whose existanoe is calculated to weaken the bonds of the Federal Union, I cannot give them my assent and approbation. Sir, I stand here to-day to raise, my voice against all sectionalism and disunion, no matter in what quarter of the . country they may, shake their Gorgon locks. I speak as an American citizen, in behalf of State rights and strict Constitutional con struction. Regarding the perpetuity of this Union as of more consequence to ourselves .as a people, and to the civilized world around us, than any question that modern humanitarianism can teach, I would not have one of the pillars of our proud fabric totter to the ground, for, every „negro is the universe. But a little more than two hundred years ago, the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. Exiles from their native land they sought here a spot, where, though alien from their fathers' graves, they could bend the knee in peace and safety to their fathers' God. The representatives of principles that had no resting place in their distant home, they laid here the foundations of a State, which, I trust will remain intact and unimpaired, " till the latest syllable of recorded time." It has been said, that the hour will come when the bright stars on our consecrated flag will grow : dim and its red stripes will turn. pale, before the 7 dismaying speotacle of fraternal Strife. But, sir, I am , not one of those who look gloomily upon the; book. At length, after the greatest din future destiny of this. Union.

Since the time when John Phamix, in the absence of " Boston," the editor of the San Diego Herald, took temporary, charge of that now illustrious journal, and changed its politics in the very first num ber issued under his supervision=whence ensued that memorable battle, wherein the' returned editor was so singularly worsted (! !)--since that' period until the present, we have seen nothing in its kind more laughable than a little sketch we have re- 1 ceived, with the heading : " Be, Emphatic, Jones ! Touch 'em on the Raw:!" All papers, " Republican," " Democratic," " American," " Whig," " Conservative," all are full of " nigger," as we write in late October—" old John Brown," "Cook,', " nigger," " nigger," " Cook," " old John Brown ;" these are the changes which are rung in all the journals of the day, east, virest, north, and south. • There is no political offence in the sketch, and the Republicans themselves, we venture to say, will laugh at it as heartily as their opponents. We clip here and there, but with no detriment to the story ; " Jones " was a journeyman printer, upon The Genius, a Republican newspaper, nomin ally edited by a popular and able lawyer, who, however, could, not do his duty to his clients and the paper too ; either his briefs or his editorials must come lamely off, and the paper suffered in consequence. The proprietor, although a good manager and a practical man, knew nothing at all about editing ; he wouldn't trust himself to select a paragraph from another paper, or accept for publication anything which did not emanate from the pen of the editor. And now behold he was in trouble. The neglect of the ostensible editor was greatly reducing the subscrip tion list. That worthy was out of town, engaged in an important law-suit, and the proprietor, being in despair, hastens after him " He left the city hurriedly in search of his editor, but was himself delayed a day beyond his appointed time to return. In this state of affairs there was but one course to pursue. Jones was the clever fellow of the establishment, and he was instructed to get out the issue of The Genius, during the temporary absence of both editor and owner. The following is an exact copy of the letter of instruction received from the absent proprietor, to gether with the postscript by the regular editor : Dear J ones : Can't come home till morning. Get out best paper you can.— Write short articles, and stir up the party for not giving their organs more assistance. 6 P. S.—Be emphatic, Jones ! touch 'em on the raw !' The Genius was a Republican paper of the broadest stripe,' and that Jones did not exactly like, nor never did,' for he was a strong Democrat, and had on several occasions reasoned with the publisher upon the propriety and policy of changing the politics of the paper. No proposition of this sort, ho ‘ :Lover , could be entertained. The Genius owed its existence to the Re publican party. Its politics was its life blood. Nevertheless, a very great privi lege was here extended to Jones. He was instructed to stir 'em up,' to be emphatic,' and_to touch 'em on the rasni ;' he had full powers. "At length the deed was done ;' the next Genius appeared with the following startling editorial : THE NIGGER.—We admire him. We like him. We love him. We go in for him. We have but one idea and that is nigger. We have but one dream and that is ditto. We preach from but one text, and that is ditto. We sing but one song, and that is ditto, We play but one tone, and that is ditto. We go our full length on nigger. We are all over ditto. We are ditto in the morning. We are' ditto at noon. We are ditto at night. We are ditto all the time. We live on ditto. We sleep on ditto. We'll die on ditto. And yet, would you believe it, reader, The Genius don't pay !' While the writer of this stirring edi torial was enjoying, next morning, a pleas ant reverie at his success in editing, the office door was thrown violently open by the exasperated proprietor. You infernal scoundrel !' he fairly (oared, rushing toward Jones ; but before he could finish his sentence, the latter had made his escape. The editor, however arrived just in time to catch him at the street door. Jones 'P he shouted, at the same time shaking a copy of the paper in his face ; look here ; what have you done 1' I reckon I have touched 'em on the raw," said the bewildered Jones.
