Editors : Man; and various attempts have been made to unravel the great mystery who began the war ? or, in other words, to give the world a knowledge of the source from whence flow the pois onous, filthy and loathsome fountain, the effects of which have maddened the minds and fired the hearts of so many Americans, the best and bravest citizens against eaoh other, to a degree unparalleled in the history of the Christian world. Citizens of the South against those of the North— citizens whose names America at one day was not' ashamed of—citizens who'm Amer ica in the days of her prosperity raised in her own house and instrnsted with the keeping of her most saored treasures— elevating them to the dignity of men in eyes of an observing world. Now with ingratitude, equalled only by that of Lu cifer when be rebelled against the God of Heaven and Earth, these same citizens usher forth armed to the teeth with all the hellish implements of war, with viper hearts.and men only in form, driving the chariots of death and destruction through the streets of every oity, hamlet and vil lage, the comforts of which were but a few short years ago purchased by the blood of their own fathers, and as it were determined on the dishonor and eternal ruin of our happy home in America. America, the only country the Sun ever shone on that never was oonquered by an invader; that sympathizing America, whose open arms received and made welcome the distressed and downtrodden of every clime; that America, whose flag was, is, and we hope ever will be, the passport to freedom from pole to pole; that lovely Amerioa, the garden and paradise of the world.— Oh ! my country ! how painful to behold thy disastrous condition. Thy people in martialed ranks ; bi other against brother and father against son, wading knee-deep in each others blood for the common de struction of all! In the name of high Heaven what can all this mean 1 It may well bo asked, as it h#s often been, in God’s name whatoan be the cause of such an unholy conflict 1 This has been a world-wide question. Many, who in their short-sightedness could see noth ing behind the curtain, have answered that slavery was the sole oause of all our trouble ; and even President Lincoln, a few days ago, told some of his colored friends that- if slavery and the black race had never existed, this war would not have taken place. We concur with Mr. Lincoln in so far as to say, that slavery has had much to do in bringing on this difficulty, and we believe that the emancipation of slavery never would have been so exten sively advooated in the North, nor so much notioe taken of it in the South, had the American people been conscious of its authors and its original design. And we are perfectly convinced, by long observa tion, that had the people of the United States been more careful in adhering to the admonitions of the great and giant minded Washington, when bequeathing to a free people his last legacy and blessing, telling them to beware of foreign influ ence, peace would now be reigning where war is raging. In 1844, and at a still later date, when politics run high, we have been told that foreign influence was about to overtake us, but that was only a politi cal dodge, got up to divert our attention to a wrong quarter where the enemy was not to be found. Whilst the demon most to be dreaded was preying at the life’s blood of our happy country, the influence of perfidious Albion—for that was the enemy whose influence the Father of his Country so much dreaded, for he well knew that she was the ‘enemy of the liber ties of mankind all over the world. But of all oountries calculated to injure us politically, England was least suspected, the more so from being frequently told by political hacks that England was the freest and best government in the world, and that England was America’s friend. We were one stook—one people—one re ligion—speaking one language—almost one and the same person—mother country, and what not ! But, my dear friends, by our own blind simplicity we have grossly deceived ourselves in England’s conduct towards Amerioa, and the only man who can see England’s treachery towards America is the man whose politics never bound him to any party further than the interests of his country was at heart; and the only thing which astonishes us, is that the body of the American people never can draw the veil to one side and view . England in her true position. England wants, and always did want, to have America weakened down so as to suit her purpose in the balance of national power, and it was neither yesterday nor day be fore that she began her attacks on Amer ica for that purpose; and as we mean to prove that England is the cause of this desolating war, and has put slavery into the minds of the American people, as the etching tool is in the hand of the operator to work the design, we only wish to draw your earnest atttention to a few facts whioh will satisfy the mind of every un prejudiced man as to the truth of our as sertion beyond all contradiction. The first thing to which I direot your, attention, is to an article which appeared in the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post,' which 1 remember reading at the time of its publication. I think it is in the issue for the last week in December 1832, written by the late and much la mented Mr. Richard Rush of that city, as an Address to the People of this country.; and proving to their entire satisfaction that the threatened rebellion of John C.Cal houn, whioh agitated this country at the time, was altogether of English origin. It is from a conversation which had] taken place between himself and a few of the members of the British Parliament, whilst he was in London as Embassador from this country, as early as the year 1824. Their place of meeting, I think he says, was the King’s Arms Inn, and, after an exchange of common courtesies, America and her strength became the subjeot of the Table. Mr. William Cobbetf, who . bad long been in this country, said that England would yet take America. Mr. Bash wished to know how that could be done, after England falling so far short of the mark in all her former attempts. The reply was positive, that .England would agitate some untoward question in Ameri ca, wherein both North and Sooth would be deeply interested, until they would be ' exoited to aivil war, and then both would j become an easy prey to the invader. And , who, said the writer of the article referred j to, is he who will not acknowledge that: we are now reaping the fruits of England’s ! influence through -the agency of John C. Calhoun. So mnch for English influence and Cobbett’s prediction—that influence whioh planted in the heart of South Caro lina a never dying hatred for the Amer ican Union. A hatred, the effeots of j whioh at that day was as likeiy to produce | as serious oonsequences as the war of the present time can do, had it not been for the timely and manful intervention of the in trepid Jackson. Thus England in her disappointed rage was forced to put on her studying cap, and sent forth a hypocritical yell of philanthiophy from both Houses of Parliament for the abolition of slavery in the British West India islands. Societies were formed, debating rooms were opened, and collection boxes were plaeed at every cross roads, at every workshop and faotory gate, at every theatre door and ohuroh gate; and as the greater number of the members of both Houses were cotton manufacturers, either spinners, weavers, bleachers, printers, or dyers, it required but a short time until there were funds sufficient raised to pay the planters of the West India islands for the title they held in their slaves. This was the system by which philanthropic England carried out her soheme of emancipation, whilst the government never subscribed one shilling towards the enterprise ; but made 'it orim - inal in any Captain or Master of a ship to take any of the black population off the islands, unless as servants and return them as such, so that there was no danger of their emancipation ever interfering with the interests of the laboring classes in England ; whilst, on the contrary, if she could have got the Southern planters to follow •her example, she knew that the liberated slaves, by spreading over the Northern States, would give annoyance to the laboring olasses in that quarter. But as the Southern Planters did not deem it prudent to follow in her track, she thought the next best card she could play would be to get up a hue aud ory in the North against the institution of slavery in the Southern States, and thereby threaten the planters of sugar, cotton and rice with in evitable ruin, knowing well that if either of these dodges were successful, sho had lit the faggot of never dying hostility in the bosom of the Amerioan Union, whioh was certain one day to bring the fulfilment of Cobbett’s prediction through a very unto ward question. And to obtain that end, with the sagacity of the sneak that be guiled Eve and the hypocrisy of the Devil, who was a murderer from the beginning, England oovers the ocean with ships and lands her legions of hypocrites in the garb of Missionaries on our Northern sea board, spreading over all the free States like the locusts of Egypt, proaching to the unsus pecting Americans that the institution of slavery was an abomination in the sight of God, and that by abolishing the same they would be doiug God’s best work, still hold ing up England as an example. At last the slave question beoame wor thy of consideration, and in the counties of Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Schuyl kill and Lancaster, as well as in every other corner of the North, debating rooms were opened. The question then being whether was slavery a blessing or a curse to the country, and whether it should or should not be abolished ; and for the use of lecturers on that subject, a large and magnifioent hall was built in Philadelphia in 1838, known by the name of Pennsyl vania Hall, and was occupied for several weeks by lecturers on slavery—many of them advocating not only the abolition of slavery, but the acthal amalgamation of the black and white races! During the time the lecturing was going on, it was quite a common thing to see a sparkling maiden of first olass lady-like appearance, in the neighborhood of the Hall promenading, linked arm in arm with some high oheeb boned buok negro with a shirt oollar cut ting his ears, and him walking on the end of his leg as it protruded through the mid dle of his foot, whilst his ivories were far from being hid. This waß done of course to introduce the praotice of amal gamation. Amongst the most conspicuous of the lecturers at that time was the very eloquent David Paul Brown, of the Phila delphia bar, whose opinions on amalgama tion so disgusted the citizens that they rose up in masses, broke in the door, kindled a fire in each of the four corners of fhe Hall and consumed the whole building, whioh but a few days before had cost forty thou sand dollars. Mr. Brown for a few months left the city, and the cry for amalgamation dwindled into nothing. Bnt amalgama tion had yet more evil deeds to perform. Whilst England’s influence was thug goading on the people of the North to the destruction of Southern institutions, her agents were also at work in the South urg ing them to resist any tariff measures that might be presented in Congress for the protection of Northern manufacturers or business generally; and some English speculators have even gone so far as to tell the Southern planters that England would buy all the cotton the South could raise, provided they would refuse selling that article to the people of the North. This was as a matter of oourse to sustain English manufaoturies. Thus, for many years, between North and South, England held, as it were, the position of a hypo oritioal mediator between two disputants, saying strike that sooundrel, and whisper ing in an under tone to the other, if 1 was you I would not stand that, but you oan do as you p’ease. Thus at every dodge driving the poisoned ‘arrow of bitter re venge deeper and deeper into the heart’s core of our peaoeful country. But the deepest, deadliest and most destructive wound ever aimed at the peace and tran quility of any oountry by a foreign and unsuspeoted enemy, was inflicted in the bosom of this happy republic by a sooiety of the Queen of England’s maids in wait ing, between the years 1848 and 184 ft, under the delusive veil of philanthropic zeal for the diffusion and inorease of re ligion amongst the African race in North America. The inconsistency of suoh an act, at suoh a time and from suoh a quarter, is .what develops the monstrous fraud. embodied in - the atrocious. design. It will nodoubt be remembered that from “THAT OOUHTBY Ifl THI HOST LANCASTER CITY. PA.. TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 30, 1862. 1846 to 1851 it pleased the Giver of all Good in His Divine and merciful Providence to visit the western parts of Enrope with what is generally termed a short crop, and in the more westerly parts the lack of pro visions was, more sensibly felt; and ex perience having proven that when the potato is raised on Irish soil it is more nutritive than when it is elsewhere culti vated, causes tbst root to be greatly used in Ireland by alt Classes, but more so by the working people; and the potato having entirely failed in Ireland during the above mentioned periods, famine, starvation and death swept that island, whose population numbered six million of souls, to suoh an alarming extent that thousands and tens of thousands laid down and died by the way-side' for want, of bread, till the grave in five brief years closed over one-fourth of its whole number of inhabitants. And when an Irish eommittee petitioned her most gracious Majesty, setting forth the starving condition of Ireland, with a view to excite the British government to lend a helping hand to elevate the sufferings of her Majesty’s most loyal subjects, that oommittee was answered by a letter from Sir Robert Peel to Daniel O’Connel, stating that Parliament would not meet until late in February, a period of three months from the date of the letter ; thus at a time, when it was no uncommon thing as stated in the London Times with sar castic cant, that only one hundred and fifty had died the day previous in Ireland of starvation, and instead of helping to relieve the poor and needy. Every man who had sympathy to think and courage to say that the government ought to extend a paternal hand in that critical junoture, were dragged from their homes like as many beasts of prey, shut up in dungeons, tried like murderers by paoked juries, to be hanged as felons, and to be quartered and beheaded as traitors, whilst in the Queen’s lenienoy their sentence was oommuted to transportation to Van Dieman’s Land during her. Majesty’s pleasure. It was at this trying moment of Ireland’s existence, a moment which stands in her history’s pages as the groat famino of the nineteenth century, that Amerioan sympathy for Ireland drove a thrill to the heart and brought a blush to the face of perfidious Albion, and renewed never dying love in the heart of every Irishman for his adopted country, a truth which their con duct has proven on every battle field. So soon as the alarming account of Ireland’s deplorable condition reaohed the happy shores of Amerioa every heart melted with sympathy, every bosom swelled with be nevolenoe, every man’s hand was thrust into his pocket bringing forth the one thing needful ; and in our Congress halls the sound of sympathetic benevolence for Ireland rang loud and long, the doors of the national treasury were thrown open, and the archives of every commonwealth in the land poured forth their donations. In every city, town and village meetings were held, and collection boxes appropri ated. In Philadelphia, in Independence Hall, the first day the subscription list was opened seven thousand dollars were col lected ; the second day six thousand dol lars ; the third day five thousand dollars ; the fourth day four thousand dollars ; the fifth day three thousand dollars ; the sixth day two thousand dollars; and the seventh and last day one thousand dollars were collected. Besides, many thousands were collected in the different wards of the city. Every banking house and savings institu tion handed out their thousands and tens of thousands, and throughout the Union it was all as one voice of sympathy for the suffering Irish. Provisions were purchased, ships were chartered, captains and orews were hired, and in many instances oaptains volunteered their services ; and from the St. Lawrence to the Rio Grande the ocean was covered with ships laden with all kinds of provisions ; and as fast as sail or steam oould propel them safely into port, eaoh discharging their swellftg cargoes—. the donations of the free, happy and pros perous people of America into the empty, hungry and welcoming lap of ever gener ous but then famine-strioken and Starving Ireland, ihat aot of American benevo lence stamped indelible shame on the frozen heart and brazen forehead of that would be imperial parliament of her most gracious majesty for its disregard to Ireland’s wail ings in her moments of adversity, and to tell what effect that act of Amerioan friendship had on the hearts of Irishmen we have only to look at their deeds of daring at Bull Run and throughout this oampaign. But America Wes' not to go long un punished for his benevolenoe to wards suffering Ireland. The Queen and Consort viewed that aot of American humanity with disgust, and in stead of opening their hearts to the relief of their suffering subjeots they oaused a meeting of the Lords of the Colonies to be held at the house of the Duke of Suther land, in London, in the month of August, 1849, for the purpose of concooting the easiest means of driving the last nail in Ireland’s coffin; and whilst the Russels, the the Aberdeens, the Der by’s, and the two Highland gentlemen, the Duke of Sutherland and the great Lord of the Highlands, the Duke of Argyle, were closeted, in the Highland man’s baok room : planning a coercion bill for the suspension of the writ of Habeas Corpus and the es tablishment of Martial Law in every oounty in Ireland, as a means of chaining down by England’s iron grasp the few whose souls and bodies still hung together in the form of liviSg skeletons, having passed through the ordeal of famine’s bit terest trial, that under the weight of Eng land’s iron heel Ireland’s grave might be sealed, and the name of that once nursery of ohristianity be only known to futurity as, a thing that had passed away. And now, my friends, let us view the hypoorisy of the Queen’s Maids in Waiting, who whilst their husbands were in eonolave in the baok room for the above-named pur pose, were themselves in the parlor as sembled with Lady Sutherland at the head of the board, at the hour of midnight, oon cooting the ruin of Amerioa under false pretences, by .appropriating ways and paeans for relieving the bodily wants and aiding in the better religious training of the colored population in North Amerioa! Suoh was the object of these two meetings as worded in the London, papers. It is an old saying that oharity. begins at home; but not so with the Queen’s Waiting Maids, and the inconsistency of -the objects of these meetings compared with the time and oiroumstanoes fully ex poses the.atrooious .design, the results of whioh are. now stabbing oar onoe happy WUUI LABOB OOHXAHDS THI OBBAXBSS BBWABD.”- BUOHAHAB. country to the heart’s core; and no sensi ble man can be so- blind as-not to see it, for had charity been the object of these : Angel-like ladles, there was certainly suf ficient matter at home whereon to bestow their benevolenoe ; for the Home Missions had just published a report showing to the world sthat there were twenty thousand persons in the City of London living by stealth or plunder, and thirty thousand rose every morning not knowing where to get a mouthful of bread; sixty thousand could neither read nor write, and that ig norance prevailed to a still greater extent in the mining distriots. They say that having occasion to visit the oolonies, they were .astonished to find that, ignoranoe reigned there to such an alarming extent. The people soaroely knew when the Sab bath came, and when they conversed with some of them concerning Christ oruoified, they had been told that such a man never lived in that district; and that they were several times asked if Christ was a good boss, or rather if he was a good master, or if he was the candidate that was up for York or Durham at the next election ? There was a wide and uncultivated field for the benevolent hand of charity to oper ate upon, and that too within the hearing of the Royal Falaoe, unheeded and,r.un oared for hy those dear little Angel-like creatures, the Queer’s Maids in Waiting. But to speak ot charity. We ask the world where is the man that ever knew of a charitable act to come from an English Queen or her Waiting Maids? No, no— we are more likely to find an eel’s neat on the top of Bunker’s Hill Monument than to find oharity in the bosom of an English Queen or her plate-washers. Indeed it was the very reverse of oharity whioh prompted these damsels of royalty to as semble at the darkest hour before day and form a society for the education of Ameri oan children, either black or white. It was the spirit of rancorous hatred, envious malice and cruel revenge that, under the unsuspected garb of Religion, they might have a ohanoe of throwing the last royal armful of unquenchable faggots on that, already flaming pile of Abolitionism which England had already kindled and kept raging in the bosom of Amerioan fanatics. So that in the end, by hypocrisy, these royal nymphs might aooomplish their deep, dark and damnable design, whioh had de fied England’s power by land and sea, combined with the . skill and oourage of Howe, Clinton, Burgoyne, Rodney, Corn wallis, the traitor Arnold and the gallant Buckingham to accomplish—the destruc tion of the Amerioan Union. After the above meeting the first packet brought out a reinforcement of mission aries to stir up and keep alive the new system of Abolitionism under the pretence of a religious training, and it was but a short time until it became the untoward question in whioh both North and South were deeply interested according to Oob bett’s propheoy. The Laborers in the vine yard of the Lord, as it was termed, were regularly supplied by England. Their rapid maroh was so suooesßful in the field of conversion that great numbers of the Amerioan people, in their honest simplici ty, were so muoh astonished and oharmed by the wolf in sheep’s olothing, that in the month of October, 1849, the Boston Atlas, a well-known newspaper of that : city, came out in an artiole thanking God that there had been an allianoe formed be tween the Ladies of Old England and the Ladies of New England for the better pro tection and religious training of the color ed ohildren in North America ; and many of my courteous readers will no doubt still remember the very appropriate reply which Lady Tyler gave to that artiole. It was in substance, that the Ladies of London would do well by first looking to the wants of their own starving white population at home, before they would waste their be nevolenoe too freely on the dark popula- lation of North America—for the United States were well able to take oare of their own people. That answer ought to have been written in letters of gold and placed in the Halls of Congress at Washington, where the English Ambassador oould read it daily. Still the ball of Abolition rolls on from the debating room to the pulpit all over the Northern States, and indeed it was apparent that the different congregations vied with each other in denouncing slavery and intemperance ; and amongst others the fanatical Henry Ward Beeoher, of New York, even went so far as to tell his con gregation that men should sell their Bibles and buy Bowie-knives and rifles and go down South and shoot and out the throats of those who kept slaves on their planta tions, and by so doing he would oonsider them justifiable in the sight of God for doing his best work. And it iB too well known that suoh as the above were the general sentiments of the Northern pulpit, so that Mr. John Chambers, of Philadel phia, was perfeotly oorreot when he told his congregation on Thanksgiving day, 1860, in the ohuroh in Broad street, that the American pulpit was the oause of this unhappy struggle, and few men living knew .the cause better than his reverence, as he himself had preached the same doctrine for many years, and at the same time knowing well that it was England’s desire he should do so. Whilst religious fanatics in the North seemed so enchanted by the subject of slavery, for the purpose of debate the political wire-pulling dema gogues, bcth North and South, were not unmindful of its capital producing quali ties. In the South, and by a Southern man, a book was written on the abomina tions of slavery, known by the name of Helper’s Book, whioh was largly endorsed I by members of Congress at Washington. ’ Whilst in the North societies were formed, known by the name of underground railroad, under the influence of what they termed a higher law, from Canada, to California, linked with that of the Queen’s dames in London—the latter being the fountain head from which monthly instructions and the means of having them exeouted were trans mitted to the former and at the disposal of Mr. Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune, who acted as President for the underground track, and who wps to see I that when the man with the woolly head would be kidnapped or stolen from his proper owner, whether agreeable to his feelings or not, he would be faithfully con cealed and forwarded to the most remote corner of her Majesty’s dominions in North America. This dodge was altogether for the purpose of exciting Southern animosity, but too slow for political purposes, in in the Presidential campaign. Where fore it was agreed upon by the t Queen’s 1 Maids, the Greeleys, Beechers, . Smiths, Wilsons &_Co., that nothing short of the effusion of blood could oome anything near the mark of. the original design. Renee bleeding Kansas, agreeably to the London articles of managment, the filthiest oess-pools of broken merchants and disap pointed politicians were dragged,and lo and behold! a : tool every way suiting their purposes, comes forward in the person-of John Brown who had been tenderly raised, carefully , educated, married and lived oomfortably for many years, and by his ap pointments rendered reckless of life, offer ing himself as a fit person to be a conductor on the underground railroad. He is just the right man in the right plaoe, said Greeley; and Brown goes to Canada in the first train. From Canada back to New York, from New York to Canada again, and from thence to Kansas, with hlB dis patches in his pooket how to act and how he was to be rewarded. And there he bums a barn belonging to one of the new settlers, and a stable belonging to another, and then flies to Nebraska, stays a short time there, and goes baok to Kansas, makes himself master of a few rowdies, and leaves them at work destroying life and property, whilst he returns to Canada, and from thenoe to New York, and there enlists some few of the Five’Point lads and others, numbering in all about twelve desperadoes. He sees his employers, reoeives his pay and. new instructions, and Js off again to Kansas ; and with his band of land pirates commences and carries on a wholesale trade of butohering and burning, according to his own confession, for the spaoe of three years. Whilst the whole Northern press was kept alive by the murder ory of bleeding Kansas, whilst none but the anti, slavery fanatios of the North and the Queen’s Maids in London had the slightest knowledge of John Brown, or for what purpose Kansas was kept so bleeding, until Kansas became too hot for him and his murdering brigade, and then to the tune of Greeley’s quiok march, he and his invinoible band, twenty-five in number, strolls down through the State of Virginia, armed to the teeth with rifles, shot-guns, broom-handles and gardenrhoes, and aß sail tife arsenal at Harper’s Ferry. Several of his men, including some of his own sons, were killed, and the rest with himself were taken, tried, condemned and hung, near Alexandria, Va., for treason against the Constitution of the United States of America. The day before his execution, his wife, whom he had not seen for two years, brought several ohecks or orders that by having his signature to them the might at any time draw the reward of his long blood letting*in Kansas. It was a common saying amongst his Greeley friends, and even to this day, that she same murdering John Brown died a martyr to his oountry, whilst they well know that he and all his band of traitors, as well as all the innocent lives destroyed by them in Kansas, were only victims to the infernal design of their ladyships in London. And on the day of Brown’s execution, that Bame Hi race Greeley re greted that he had only given Brown twenty dollars for all his toils and mur ders, and let it be remembered that Mr. Greeley had just been a few days home after his visit to London, in behalf of the same John Brown. The tragedy of John Brown, together with the spirit of some acts known by the name of Personal Liberty Bills which were enaoted in several of the Northern States, where an Abolition majority ruled, as well as the praotice of kidnapping, and the bit terness. with whioh inflammatory speeches were delivered in the Halls of Congresß against the institution of slavery, opened the eyes of Southern men to a sense of duty; confirming their opinion that what the Northern people had heretofore said or done was not done in jest. They be lieved, and reoent acts of Congress goes far to justify that belief, that the Northern people were soon coming down South to burn, butcher and rob the oountry. A sectional President was to be the passport to Southern Independence, and, as self proteotion is nature’s first law, resistance to what they considered an infringement on Southern Constitutional rights waß indis pensable. Meanwhile England was still careful to keep always a debate going on in Congress for the suppression of the slave trade, or the right of search; and by her whim and quibble each section of - the Union believed her to be their friends, although, in England’s unguarded mo ments the teeth of the lion oould be seen glistening through the expression of Lord Aberdeen. When speaking about Central Amerioa a short time sinoe he said that America was getting large and spreading too far, and by next return exchanges the French press responded in the affirmative and said that it ought to be looked to.— Meanwhile the. North and South watohed each other with an eye of jealousy, eaoh thinking that if things should oome to the worst, England would be their friend for certain. The North on aocount of her anti-slavery principle; the South relying on England’s free trade spirit and her de pendence on the South for cotton. Mr. Linooln, when fishing for the reins of power, had given vent to expressionspre judioial to Southern constitutional rights, showing his willingness to abolish the in stitution of slavery in that quarter, whioh so exasperated the people of the South that when he beoame’President of the United States, they determined to sever their State ties of nnaminity and hold no more fellowship with those of the North, which they considered to be their most deadly enemies. Southern wrath was fomented to a boiling point; several of the Southern States were deolared free and independent of the North; whilst a member of that Convention stood up and thanked God that they had that day completed the work of forty years ; thereby proving that Cob bett’s plan was in operation at the very moment that he divulged it to Mr. Bush in 1824. In South Carolina the war ory went forth, .and about the 18th of April, 1861, the first aot of resistance to the au thority, of the United States was perform ed by the rebellious party taking forcible possession of Fort Sumpter. Sinoe that day two armies; haye : been raised, each numbering nearly a million of men, and at this moment confront eaoh other—fathers plunging the dagger into the necks of their sons, and_ sons into the bosoms of their brothers. Every State in the Union has become a Potter’s field; every river in the land runs red, and every sunny spot’ smokes with the blood of the bravest of the braye from every dime under Heaven, as well as'with that of America’s noblest sons. • And all for thegratification of despodo znonarohy through the glorious triumph of the Queen’s Maids in London, and their Greeley dopes inAmerioa, under the pretext of the bodily protection and better religious training of the oolored population in the United States of America.- And now that England has taken some kind of a neutral position, much to the disappointment of both North and South, ■ it is somewhat diverting to read the taunts and gibes of the London press .on the two American belligerents, paper blockades, &o. Whilst Lotd Palmerston, with the sagacity of the snake which is natural to him, chuckles over what seems to be our . bitterest misfortune, and from his lounge jon the-woolsack responding to the many petitioners who are urging England’s in- tells them in tones of his usual gravity that it is too soon for England to interfere in Amerioan matters—signifying that a little time will weaken both North and South and make them more suitable for England’s purpose, thatCobbett’s pre diction may be the more easily fulfilled; for he no doubt, thinks it will be with us as it was with tee two'Kilkenny oats, that fought till there was nothing left but the two tails, and then the two tails fought till Pat Murphy’s dog oame in and run off with them. But Mr. Palmerston may rest assured that England or himself will never Bee the day that the North or South, or either one of them, will be an easy prey to the invader. But if in our misfortune it should be the will of Divine Providence that the restoration of our Union as it was he rendered impossible, and the proud genius of Amerioa be shorn of her jewels, she will dress herself in the latest style of mourning, whioh was typven in the High land man’s parlor at London, and made by the Greeley dress-makers in Congress in 1861, and fly from the dome of the Capitol, to the top of the Monument of the great Washington, there to take the last fond look at her once happy home and gar den of the world. And, alas ! what a mel anoholy pioture appears to her despairing eye. She sees a number of men dressed in blaok with long faoes, each with his hand on his pocket, looking behind him in dread knowing that his deeds were evil. She seos an empty treasury and a' moun tain of debt at its door. She sees desola tion on every side, depopulated cities and deserted villages, and as far as the eye can reaoh there is nothing but one vast expanse of death-stricken devastation.— And the few who may have escaped the ravages of the great conflict, trembling atd tottering under a load of taxation ; and the air will yet be reechoing the groans of the . departed millions on the battle field, mingling with the wailings of one hundred thousand widows and soreams of five hundred thousand orphans, orying for bread and none to give them, and not a man to be seen in the land younger than sixty years of age with the exception of invalids strolling about, some without legs, others without arms, hungry and helpless, without a shelter or a‘ shilling. She will hear the prayers and groans of destitute and suffering thousands offered up to Heaven, imploring vengeanoe on the heads of the guilty ones. And the voice of the great body of the Amerioan survi vors, raising like a thunder storm after being betrayed to their ruin, crying woe bo to the knaves into whose hands we intrus- ted our country’s keeping. She will sde the old Stars and Stripes contemptibly de rided the whole world over. And the name of the American republio will have beooffle a phrase of derisive scorn to the remotest corners of the globe. And look ing to the South she will hear the rejoioing of the people clinging round Jefferson Davis, orying well done good and faithful, servant, you have been faithful over a few things we will make you ruler over many, you henceforward shall be oalled the saviour of our country. And again turn ing to the North she will tell them Bhe has just heard the people of the South pour ing their congratulations on the head of their deliverer, Jefferßon Davis, for his unflinching integrity throughout their afflictions. And addressing herself to the partizans of the North she will ask them in an nnmistakeable tone who amongst you thinks himself best en titled to bear the weight of the atrociouß crime of destroying my onoe happy country. The blood of your Fathers can no more be boasted of. Democracy 1 Why did you not oome to my resoue in all the' majesty and greatness of a free people ? Republicans I Why did you mingle with bad company and foreign influence contrary to the warnings of the great Washington ? And turning with a frown to the guilty ones, and as the hangman would adjust the rope on the neck of his cul prit, she will hang like a millstone that bag of iniquitous abomination, infamy, disgrace and eternal degradation around the neck of abolitionism, as a keepsake and a just reward for his many years of labor, hoping that in future that relio the weight of her crime, may keep him in eternal remembrance of Amalga mation, bleeding Kansas,’Negro emancipa tion, confiscation and no compromise. She will then deliver the wreok of her country into the hands of futurity and drop the last tear on the top of that mememorable pedestal, bid adieu to all happiness, and de scend into the deepest and darkest cell of oblivion, and there hide herself in shame from the 1 contemptible gaze of a onee admiring world, and to avoid the hypocritical and sar castic sneers of the Queen's maids in waiting. These, sirs, are the true and undeniable oauses of all our troubles, impartially collected from the passing events of forty years, by your most sincere friend who always rejoiced at.the prospeaity, but now weeps for the fast ap proaching destruction of his adopted country.

THE HORSE POWER has proved' itself to be the best ever Invented. The friction is rednced..by IRON BALLS, so arranged in all the bear ings, that the whole weight of the castings runs upon them. THREE POUNDS DRAUGHT, at the end of a ten feet lever, will keep the power in motion! thus permitting the entire strength of the horses to be used on the machino to be driven. One horse will do as much work on this power as two on tb e endless Chain Power. It Is port able and may be used in the field as well as in the house. More than Twenty-Five Per Cent, of horse flesh is saved over any other power iu use. It is simple in construction, and not liable to get out of order. Price of powej for 1 to 4 horses. Price of power for 1 to 8 horses. THE $125 POWER WILL DRIVE ANY THRESHING MACHINE. EVERY MACHINE IS GUARANTEED TO GIVE SATIS FACTION, OR THE MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED. REFERENCES Wm. Leaf, R. R. Supt.
