"CLING TO THE CONSTITUTION, AS THE SHIPWRECKED MARINER CLINGS TO THE LAST PLANK., WHEN NIGHT AND THE TEMPEST CLOSE AROUND HIM."-DANIEL WEBSTER. THE CITY ELECTION. THE FIRST GUN IN THE OLD KEYSTONE! The municipal election on Tues day last—the returns of which will be found 'in our local column—re sulted in a glorious triumph fbr the Democracy. The majority for Mayor is 258—having carried every ward. This is a gain for the Mayor elect of 174 on his majority of last year.— The result on the Mayoralty is the more gratifying, for the reason that the contest, by the action of the Re publican press of the city, was placed upon National issues—upon the ques tion of sustaining or condemning the Abolition policy of the Admin istration, and the other heresies which have entered so largely into every political canvass for the last two years. The Democracy of Lan caster accepted the issue, and the result is as follows, viz : A Democratic Mayor, A Democratic High Constable, Two of the Ward Constables, Three of the four Assessors, Two of the three members elected to the Select Council, Twelve of the fifteen members of Common Council, Four Inspectors, All the Judges, and Two of the three Aldermen. This, we take it, was a pretty good day's work, and goes to show what the Democracy of old Lancaster can do when they get the enemy to show fight. Let our Democratic brethren throughout the State follow the good example of Lancaster city, and in October next the State will be re deemed, regenerated and disen thraled from the Abolition incubus which has rested upon it for the last two years. • The Next State Convention The meeting of the Democratic State Convention has been fixed by the State Central Committee for the 17th of June ; but we learn that there is a movement on foot in Phil adelphia to get the Committee to recall that announcement and fix upon an earlier period, for what object we do not understand unless it be to take a snap judgment on the -peo ple in some way, and prevent them from having sufficient time to dis cuss the merits of the different can didates whose names may be brought before the Convention. Now, we are opposed to any change at all of the time, deeming it sufficiently early for all practical purposes ; but if the Committee should think it ad visable to change the day, which we hardly suppose they will do, then we propose making it at a later period —say the 4th of July. This would give us about three months of an active campaign—a period long enough in all conscience to marshal the Democratic party for the great contest in October. In the great State of New York, and other States, the custom is ,to nominate their candidates only about one month before the election; and that is deemed ample time for a vigorous and spirited contest. Why, then, is not three or four - months in Penn sylvania long enough ? We can see no valid reason for ;the desired change to an earlier day than the 17th of June, and we trust the State Central Committee will set their faces against it, should the question be raised in that intelligent body. Judge Lowrie's Opinion. We direct the attention of our readers to the very able opinion of the Chief Justice in the - Suit brought by Mr. HODGSON, of the West Ches ter Jeffersonian, against Marshal MILLWARD and his Deputies, for damages sustained by the former during the time his printing office was in the hands of the latter. The opinion covers the whole ground of constitutional law, and is a noble vindication of that provision which guarantees to every freeman in this Commonwealth the right to be secure in his person and property against illegal arrests, searches and imprison ments. After the charge of the learned Chief Justice, the Jury re tired and found a verdict for the Plaintif f of $512 damages with costs of suit. This settles an important principle, and its influence will be felt, not only in Pennsylvania, but throughout all the loyal States of the Union. air Ex-Governor EDWIN D. MoR GAN was on Tuesday elected a United States Senator from the State of New York, for six years from the 4th of March next, to succeed Hon. Preston Bing. BEr Amos Hillborn, No. 44 North 10th Street, Philadelphia, whose card appears in this issue, has a large stock of goods in line to select from. Reader make a note of the fact and give him a call. The Negro Soldiers' Bill. THADDEUS STEVENS' Negro Sol diers' Bill, authorizing the President to arm any number of negroes he may think proper, has passed the House of Representatives. This bill Was bitterly opposed by the border State members, until it was so amended as to prohibit recruiting in those States. The members from those States declared that negro soldiers would be shot there on sight, and Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, plead earnestly to have "the pill gilded." The exception was there fore made. But what a position does not this place these members of Congress in ? They declare that if a certain law is applied to their own States, their people will resist the Federal Government—in a word, turn rebelS," "traitors," &c., but if Congress will consent to except them, then they will remain "loyal," and even aid and assist the Aboli tionists in forcing the hated law upon other States and communities ! Do these men mean to stand before the world on such a record as this? If there is any right or any justice in this bill, there is no reason why it should not be applied to all the States alike, and we think the Democrats in Congress made a great mistake in fighting a long parliamentary battle in behalf of such partial legislation. The arming of the negroes, as the allies of the Abolitionists, is no more than we always anticipated, and upon the theory of Stevens, Lovejoy, and Hickman, that the negro is entitled to the liberty of the white man, we see no good reason why they should not be allowed to fight for it. The act is but the atrocious sequence of a still more atrocious premise. Release of A. D. Boileau This individual was not released from prison unconditionally, as we were led to believe and so stated. last week. At the bidding of those having him in their hands he got down on his knees, and made a whining recantation of all supposed or supposable misdeeds, promising meekly to conduct his paper here alter so as not to give any of to the Abolition Administration at Washington. It is evident that BOILEAU is a miserable craven, not at all worthy of the fuss made over him, and he will soon sink into merited- obscurity. So odious has he already become to the public, that he has been forced to retire from all connexion with or control of the Evening Journal, and it is now pub lished under other auspices. It seems impossible, says the New Hamp shire Patriot, for the National Government to avoid a serious conflict with the State author ties of various States, except by yielding obedience to the Constitution, which it is so grossly outraging in these arbitrary arrests. In Wisconsin, the Supreme Court, composed entirely of Republicans, has decided that the President has no power to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, and have ordered the re lease of fifteen persons arbitrarily arrested by order of the Government. The same decision will d.mbtless be made in nearly every State when the issue is made, and if the Govern ment persists in arresting and imprisoning persons without warrant and in open viola tion of the Constitution, it Will find itself for cibly resisted by authority of State Govern ments in the hands of its own political friends. The question of personal freedom and consti tutional rights is too vitally important to every citizen to admit of its being given up without a struggle. It overrides all mere party questions and feelings, and brings home to every one the momentous issue of liberty nr despotism, for himself and his poe terity. It is impossible that intelligent and patriotic men can be so blinded by party pre judice and so swayed by political feeling as to justify or submit to such palpable and re peated violations of personal liberty as demon strate the determination of the Government to sweep away all safeguards of the Consti tution and all guarantees of the COITIMM7AIW and our own institutions, and establish itself a despotism as arbitrary and unfeeling as ever existed in the world's history. THE OPERATION'S OF FRANCE IN Among the documents in the " yellow book" just communicated to the French Chamber, is a letter from the Emperor Napoleon to Gen. Furey, commander of the French troops in Mexico, in which we read : There will not be wanting people who will ask you why we go to lavish men and money for the establishment of a regular government in Mexico. In the present state of the civili zation of the world, the prosperity of America is not a matter of indifferenCe to Europe, for it is she who feeds our manufactories and gives life to our commerce. We have an in. terest in this—that the Republic of the United States be powerful and prosperous ; but we have none in this—that she should seize possesion of all the Mexican Gulf dominate from thence the Antilles, as well as South Ametica, and be the sole dispenser of the products of the New World. We see now by sad experience bow precarious is the fate of an industry which is reduced to seeking its chief raw material in one market alone, to all the vicissitudes of which it has to submit. If, on the other hand, Mexico preserves its independence, and maintains the integrity of its territory, if a stable Government is consti tuted with the assistance of France, we shall have restored to the Latin race CCI the other side of the ocean its strength and prestige ; we shall have established our benificen t influence in the centre of America, and this influence by presenting immense openings for our com merce, will procure us the materials indispen sable to our industry. Mexico, thus regener ated, will always be favorable to us, not only from gratitude, but also because her interests will be in harmony with ours, and she will find a powerful support in her good relations with the European Powers. TO-day, then, our pledged military honor, the exigency of our policy, the interests of our industry, and a our commerce, all make it a duty to march upon Mexico. and boldly plant there our flag ; to establish either a monarchy, if it is not im compatible with the national sentiment of the country, or, at all events, a Government which proinises some stability. st&.• The attention of farmers is again called to the advertisement of the Lodi Manufactur ing Company's Poudrette. This Company manufaotures all the nightsoil from the City of New York into a dry, inodorous powder, and at a price far below any other fertilizer in the market. They have been in successful operation for twenty-three years, with a steadily in creasing demand, which is sufficient test of the value of their measure. I=l PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 8. The Iron steamer Princess Royal, in charge of acting master Edw. Van Sine, arrived off the navy yard to-day. She brings highly important intelli gence, both as relates to her capture and the rebel attack on our blockading squadron at Charleston, showing conclusively that there is no foundation for the assumption of the rebels that the blockade of Charleston was ever raised by the departure of the U. S. fleet: only two vessels out of eight or ten hav ing been disabled and obliged to leave. It appears from the statement of an intelligent eye witness that the cause of this attack of rebel rams on our squadron was owing to the capture of the Princess Royal ; the captain and pilot of that vessel having escaped ashore during the darkness of night, and communicated intelligence to the enemy. The Princess Royal endeavered to run the blockade by way of Breach Inlet, on the 28th, but was discovered by the pilot boat Blunt, and the signal being given, the Una&lla proceeded towards her, and captured the prise without, other saidstanoe. THE TRUTH ADMITTED. We have opposed the President's Emanci pation Proclamation, not only as unconstitu tional and unjust in principle, but also as offensive to every sentiment of humanity in its practical effects. We have believed that the only hope of "military" advantage which it could offer even to its friends, was that it might operate to excite slave insurrec tions in the Southern States. Republicans have denounced the expression of these opinions as the gross misrepresentations of political opponents for partisan effect against the Administration and the Republican party. But the real friends of that 'measure now make no disguise, but, plainly show what were the objects for which the measure was desired and which they expected to be sworn plished by it, We take the following extracts from the Boston Traveller of a recent date, a Republican paper whose statements cannot be denied to be just representations of the sen timents of the friends of the proclamation, of which that paper has been the most ardent supporter and advocate. We ask our readers to consider them with care ; and we are con tent to have the truthfulness of our represen tations and the correctness of our opinions, judged by their own admissions: "That the negroes have not risen yet, and that they are pot acquiring the character of being' decidedly late risers, are disagreeable things in the eyes of those men who suppose that time is nothing in this world. But even if there never should be a single insurrection among the slaves, we should none the less believe that the President was right in issuing his proclamation of September 22d; fur the ap pearance of that proclamation has had a good effect abroad, and prevented the rebels from receiving such foreign aid as would have de cided the issue of the contest in a very short time, and adversely to us. * * If the slaves are too ignorant or too cowardly to do anything for themselves, we at least have freed ourselves from the European re proach that we were no better than the slave holders, and were, like them, fighting only to restore slavery's supremacy. We never sup posed that there would be wide-spread insur• rections in the South immediately after the Ist of January, but we did hope that the more intelligent rf the slaves would do something that should ultimately lead to a servile war ; and that hope we do not give up because less than a month has gone by without any move ment having taken place among the enslaved population. Less than half a month, wo ought say, for we know nothing of what has happened in Secessia for some days past.— News comes slowly from that country, and it is for the interest of the Southrons to suppress intelligence of what slaves may do, as well as to suppress slave insurrections." There cannot be any misunderstanding of these extracts. So far from denying that slave insurrections are the probable conse quences of the measure referred to, they clearly show that such were the results ex pected and intended by its friends. And the Traveller labors to defend the measure even though it should fail in its great object, and " there never should be a single insurrection among the slaves." And though it has thus far failed because the slaves are " too ignor ant or too cowardly to do any thing for them. selves," and to accept the invitation thus offered to them to rise in insurrection ; yet the Traveller does not " give up the hope" that " the more intelligent of the slaves will do something that shall ultimately lead to a servile tear." The President says that the proclamation is a." military necessity." But bad as we be lieve the condition of our country now to be —despairing as the past failures and defeats of our arms have rendered us of victory over our enemies—yet we have not believed that we had come to that point of degradation and desperation where slave insurrections are the only hope of success. And if it were so, yet we should reject that " military,advantage," because we do not believe that the way to union and peace can lie through the horrors and atrocities. of a servile war, like that of St. Domingd i . at the mention of which hu manity shudders even now after the lapse of of more than half a century. " God and the negro are our only hope," is now the impious cry of the high priest of Abolitionism, Ward Beecher. And if our " military necessity' be as the President represents it, Beecher is right. We reject both. A number of tha more refined and aristo cratic Black Republicans of Philadelphia have organized a club that they term the " Union League," the object of which is to exclude those persons whom they are pleased to call " disloyal," from good society, and thus pun ish them socially fur their " traitorous procliv ities." In other words they propcse to stop all social intercourse with the Democrats of Philadelphia—to refuse to deal with them in business—to exclude them from their houses, and to put them down in all other ways, if they cannot do it at the ballot-box. We doubt not the Philadelphia Democrats will consider this a serious deprivation to be ex— cluded from the elegant and cultivated society of the kid-glove!sentry. As it is a game, however, that two can play at, the gentlemen who originated this "league" will perhaps suffer as much as those whom they propose to persecute because they dare to be Demo— crats We have " a few of the same sort " of people in this vicinity—persons who are dis posed to set themselves up as judges of the loyalty " of their neighbors. and exclude from their interesting and highly intellectual company those whem they are accustomed to denounce as "seeesh sympathisers." Remembering that these patriot pretenders have nothing but their assumed loyalty on which to base their exclusiveness, that either the respectability of their ancestors, nor now their own intellectual acquirements, give them any claims to superior social posi tion, their performances aro amusing enough. If these foolish people knew how hartily those that they would ostracise from good society and pelpniary prosperity, despise them and their filly, their self-esteem would probably suffer a considerable collapse. They need give themselves no uneasiness, this world is wide, and Black Republican society is by no means so desirable to Democrats that they will never seek it.—Easton Argus. AN EXTRAORDINARY STATEMENT.—SerIaItOT Rice, Republican, of Minnesota, who is a member of the Military Committee of the United States Senate, made the following ea traoidinary statement in debate last week : I do not believe there is a man in this gov ernment, in one of the departments to day that can tell us whether we have five hundred thousand or a million men in the field—not one who can come within fifty per cent. of the number of sick and wounded in the iplopitals, or with their regiments. One department makes its estimate based on the supposition that we have one million two hundred thou sand men in our army ; another, on the sup position that we have one million five hundred thousand men in our army. The simple truth is that they do not know whether we have that cumber or half that number. You may take the pay department, the commissary depart ment, the medical department, the quarter master's department, and you may take the commanding general and the Secretary of War, and you cannot, from all of them. come within three hundred thousand or probably five hundred thousand of the number of men in the servi; ; at least we connot get the in fortuation." Iv it any wonder that endless confusion, ex travagance and waste prevail in our armies and the national finances when such an ac knowledged want of system, management and compeetency is exhibited by those managing or, more properly speaking, mismanaging the war ? NEW JERSEY LEGISLA TIME TRENTON Feb. 3.—Resolutions have been introduced in the assembly declaring that New Jersey is not willing to be taxed for the purpose of emancipating slaves in Mis souri—a purpose not contemplated by the con stitutionand gives notice that a debt con— tracted for such a purpose is not binding in law or equity, and will not be regarded in the light of au obligation. The resolutions were referred. LOCAL DEPARTIAMNT. Tins CITY. ELECTION.—BeIow will be found the official result of the City Election. The returns speak for themselves, and it is sufficient to say that, despite the immense quantity of "green•backs" put into every ward by the Abolition leadera, the Democracy cf old Lancaster have covered themselves all over with glory: CITY TICKET.

It is estimated that 1000 to 1200 persons were present. The meeting was presided over by that high-toned and un flinching Democrat. Gets. GEONGE 01. STEINMAN, who made a well-timed and able speech on taking the chair. The addresses of 'lilac or SANDELSON, lion. ISAAC E. Hal:craft nod SaaCt. 11. REYNOLDS, Naq.,were exceedingly appropriate and eloquent, nod riveted the attention of the audience. The applause at times was unbounded, and MI the mention it Gen. 01cOunatc's name by M r. Htestsa it Won overwhelm fog. Much regriat wan expressed that Mr. SPRENGER was not present, and,oepacially by the German portion of the audience, as Mr. 0. is a most eloquent and entertaining speaker In that language. 'Cute Feucll•leh Band was present at rho opening of .tho meeting. and favored the audience with several popular airs. The meeting closed about 9 o'clock with three rousing cheers for Mayor BANDERDON. THE ELECTION NIGHT.—The weather on election night was intensely cold, but a large number of Democrats gathered at the Democratic Headquarters. Hart man's Tremont House. North Queen street. to bear the revolt of the election. The result trom the different wards was known by 8 o'clock, and Mayor SANDERSON was ac quainted with the fact at hie residence by Meters. fleetly WILHELM, LEWIS ZLCHER and JAHDD GONDAISER, with whom he proceeded to the above mentioned hotel, received the congratulations of his frientlz, and made a few remarks pertinent to the occasion. That glorioue young Democrat, Mr. Groner PON'LI., sang an original song wlth so much effect that he was required to repeat It two or three times. The Democracy of Lancaster are fully alive to the duty they owe their country, and far their part are determined that the Union shall be restored as it was, and the Consti tution maintained as it is. SERENADE TO GENERAL ROSSEAU.—A large number of citizens assembled at the Cadwell House on last night week, at 8 o'clock, to tender in connection with the Fencibles' Band a serenade to General Rosereu. The dif ferent pieces were finely rendered by the Band, and at the close of the execution of them, Gen. R. appeared npon the balcony, and cone Introduced to the audience by Dr. F. A. NICEILEIVIIEFIG In a few neat and pertinent remarks. The General returned his thanks for the compliment in a happy speech, in which he spoke in the highest terms of the gallantry, courage and efficiency of Cl. Llahntitour and his noble Regiment. His remarks elicited great ap plause. The General left on Tuesday morning for Wash-. ington City. THE NEW COUNCILS.—The new Councils mot fur organization at their Chambers. City Hall, on Friday last, at 10 o'clock, A. M The oath or office was administered by the Mayor. In the Select brunch Dr. Hence CARPENTER WAR reelected President, and JAMES C CARPENTER, Esq , Clerk. In the Common branch WILLIAM DILLER. Esq., was re-elected l'residont, and ABRAM SHANK, Erq., Clerk. Better selections could not possibly have been made, and wo think the "City Fathers" were wise in their choice. The usual resolutions fir the appointment of the various Standing , Conimittees were paesod, after which the Councils adjourned until to day at 2 o'clock, P. , when. Mayor SANDRRAON will be inaugurated, and the various City Officers elected. The inaugural ceremonies and election will take place iu the Common Council Chamber.

The object of tire convention was the consideration of the tax law, as it affects the manufacture of malt II me, which la taller: tienable in several particulars, among which is the impos ing of a Lp,,itic instead of no ad valorem tax. As a result of the deliherationa of the I - avention. it Wall resolved to petition Congress fora modification of the tax law In those parti,ulars injurious to the beer-brewing business. On Thursday evening the delegates tin=ed their prncecd• toes by partaking of a supper, gotten u p by, th e phim eh Phis Association, at which several addresses were delivered in German. Mr. J. J. SPRENGER, of this city, made .1110 remarks in English. Ile said that the object of the Brew ers' Association wee to raise the stet:Matti of their occupa tion to the I,Yol occupied by all respectable trades. The honoree of brewing has unfortunately becn retrasdel in America as disreputable, but it is really one of which those connected with it may feel pr. lid. It tootle to di minish the pernicious ono of intoxicating drinks. The speaker argued that, before the manufacture of lager beer in this country, drunkenness among the poor was much more prevalent than now, end that. consequently. those engaged in its production wore not doing injury, but were benefactors to humankind. ACCIDENT.—Mr. LEWIB KNIGHT, Engineer at the City Water Works, met with an accident on Friday last, while on his way home from the city.

ALMOST A Row.—Quite B crowd WBB COI- Jetted near the Poet Office this morning, attracted by some of the Provost Guard, who had accosted a rum wearing a S. uniform coat, his right to sport which the Guard were- inquiring into. One of the members or the Guard undertook to cut the U. S. buttons off the coat, and some remarks made by bystanders led to disputes b,tween the Guard and the crowd, and it looked a. though a fight might grow out of it. Officers Usher and Gundakor inter fered to prevent a breach of the peace, and the affair passed off without any serious disturbance. &meet the members of the Guard should be a little more careful In attending to their duties, and not bluster and threaten to draw their revolvers on every trifling occasion, and they would find lees difficulty in accomplishing their purpose. The crowd this morning, in which there were many women, was cer tainly no place to even intimate by word or action that a deadly weapon would be used in any energency.--.Y.atur• day'; Inquii er.

REMARKABLE SERMON FROM BISH OP CLARK OF RHODE ISLAND-.A LOUD PRAYER FOR PEACE. As an evidence of the change of tone that is noticed in such pditical sermons as are now preached, we present to our readers the following extract from a sermon, delivered a few weeks ago by Bishop Clark, in' Grace Church, Providence, before an immense con gregation. It is a fervent prayer for peace. One year ago the Bishop, like many others who forgot their calling, was as fervent for war. Similar clerical changes of feeling in regard to the war are observed elsewhere. Bishop Clark's text was from Lamentations, v. 16 : " The crown is fallen from our head. Woe unto us, for we have sinned !" After a reference to the sad picture of re verses which the prophet describes in the book of Lamentations, the Bishop proceeded to show the application of his language to the condition of our country. "We have fallen upon evil days, and the heart of the nation beats with agony. I do not wish to say a word that shall deepen the gloom, we must look the facts in the face, we must be willing to see where we stand, and what dangers threaten us. The crown of prosperity has fallen from our heads. There is no suspen sion in the operations of business. There are many who are making money as they never did before. By a single turn-of the wheel, some find themselves rich who were poor yes terday. There could never he a better time for shrewd.and daring speculation. Money is a drug ; and when a man has made his half a million, he does not know what to do with it ; for he feels that there is no paper which may not be rags in a year, no stock which may not have a stand still. Nothing is safe but gold and land ; and the former can ho bad only at ruinous rates, and the latter may yield 'no income. We have a sort of hectic prosperity, hut the vital organs are diseased. We have an abundant currency—an over abundant currency—because it is fictitious, " a promise to pay," which everybody knows is a lie. The show of prosperity which we have cannot last long. We lire blowing the bubble larger and larger every day, and it grows thinner as it expands. It glistens gloriously in the sunshine for. a moment, but it will burst suddenly and vanish into space. We have ceased to accumulate the true mate rial of prosperity, producing and manufactur ing abundantly. Every one knows that soon the supply will he much larger than the de mand, and we are speculating upon the im pending calamity. This is not the worst. The temptations to fraud are irresistible, and many men, of wham we had expected better things, are yielding to the temptation. The most discouraging thing in the present alarming crisis is the fact that so many loyal citizens are improvinui ' the op portunity to amass enormous profits by frau dulent speculations upon the miseries of the country. I have seen the results :if this at Washington, in forms that make Iner:'s blood curdle with indignation. I hare seen sick and dying men in bur hospitals furnished with supplies fur which the cinitractors were paid a generous price, and the whir creatures turned ;may with loathing trout the nauseous sub :, tanC CH laid upon their hot and fevered lips. Here at the North we abolish slavery when it ceased to be profitable ; fait down to the present hour the very name of African is a term of idignity and reproach. We cast con tempt ou him beeau RC he is weak. We exclude him as far as we ciur from every station itt responsibility, no matter what his qualifica tions may be, and we WO old he el ld to get rid of him altogether if we could. I hold no Utopian views upon this subject. I never believed that the relation of master and servant is of necessity a sin. I always thought that evil needed to be carefully and judiciously handled. Again, we, have sinned its a nation, in the persons of our representatiVea and rulers. Is it the wise forethought and a !tier judgment and deliberate whetoin of ;he community which determines who shall lie our rulers? How are they n , mivated v.. ace the elected? Il,nv 3!! :hey ,ificluct iheMseires after they are elected? Ito they never take bribes? D.i they represent the e! untry er the party which elects them ? Do they decide every question by its merits ? Are they always sober, temperate, chaste, free from all obscenity and profaneness? Do they always utter their honest convictions? When ever a measure is proposed fir action, do they ask " Is it wise and is'it right ?" and so deter mine how they will vote ? Alas ! the crown of glory is fallen fruit, our head and there is no hope for the country until the people arise in their might and say, " Ws will no longer have profligates and fools to rule ever us." The descent has been sJ low that it is consid ered an impropriety to speak of the subject in a Christian pulpit. Politics mean party, and this is out of place in the house of God. I think the world have found nut clearly enough we are weak. We are not weak in numbers or res!!urces, but we are weak in that efficient action which comes of faith, earnestness, self-denial, and unity of pur pose. We have made many awful sacrifices to no purpose. We 1!!11 , w up nothing so that it tells substantially upon the final issue. The fault is laid here and there and every where, and there are none. so positive in their censure as those who know nothing of the , facts. 0 that unity of the nation might be re stored in the bond of perpetual pc'itiee I We will sacrifice everything but principles for this. * * Blow from thr 4 South, O winds of God. and bring us the tidings of reconciliation and love 1 Blow from the North, 0 winds of God, and carry hack the message of fraternity and peace ! Scatter the dark ness, roll away the clouds, an I give mite us all once more the sunshine of tranquil rest ! Under the shadow of thy wince we make our refuge ; 0 Gun, Give co PEACE." LANCASTER. ELECTION The re=election of Mayor Sanderson, on last Tues day, by an increased majority, is as unacceptable as it was unexpected by the Abolition tories of Lan caster. They evidently felt pretty sanguine of success, and their mortification at defeat is shown in their manner of announcing it. The inquirer of Wednesday says: "We have the satisfaction of knowing that we are the great defeated. We have mot the enemy and by all the laws of brute force and bigoted tg norance are theirs. Mayor Sanderson 16 elected again although he had to work hard for it. His friends worked like Trojans, never tiring and never faltering. They toads all the noise and did all the hurrahing, and we must admit that but few of them have ever suffered from the throat disease or are likely to be called consumptive. " Those conversant with the under current of politics in this city anticipated nothing else. The Union men made a hard, determined fight; but somehow were quietly shelved in the evening. The great unwashed rallied in their might, and can now reap the benefits." A little further on in the article, from which the above is an extract, we find this sentence : " We don't know if we ought to congratulate him, (Mayor Sanderson.) for we, like every other Union man, feel disappointed." Now, pray, if the result was "anticipated," how comes it that "we" and "every other Union man feel disappointed ?" Evidently It was not "antici pated," or the defeat would have caused no disap:' pointment. They "anticipated" success by crying "Union"—by practising deception—and hence de feat has"disappointed and soured them. The wolf was discerned through his covering of wool—the Union cry was understood—the tories were unmasked and defeated, as they will be henceforward to the end of the chapter.—Patriot 4- Union. MURDER (IF THREE CHILDREN SCRANTON, Pa., Feb. 3.—lntelligence has just reached here of a horrible murder having been committed early on Monday morning ,in the northern part of Columbia county. A step mother, named Sault, murdered three of her stepchildren, aged respectively seven, nine and fourteen years, by severing their heads from their bodies with an axe, and afterwards threw their bodies into the fire. She is now confined in the Columbia county jail. From Tuesday's Ledger CASE OF THE ..JEFFERSONIAN." SUPREME COURT ,ter Nisi Pains—Before Low- RIE, C. J.—HonasoN vs. MILWAHD et al. The argument of this case to the Court and Jury was yesterday concluded by Messrs. limos. and WEBSTER for the defendant, and Wm. B. REED for the plantiff, whereupon Judge Low ea instructed the jury as follows: INSTRUCTIONS. It is not at all strange that in times of National crisis and of National and popular disturbance and excitement we find ourselves forced to revert to first principles in the di.cudsion of. cases which, in ordinary times and arising among ordinary persons, could be disposed of with accuracy and despatch by a simple justice of the peace. This case is one of that character. We should mit think-of granting it anything but the most summary treatment, were it not that it grows out of the very natural excitement that overspread the country on the breaking out of the present Rebellion, and that the actors in it are important officers of the Federal Government, who claim to have acted under the authority of a law of Congress and under the special authority of the President of the United States, and in support of the Constitu tion and laws, and of the safety and integrity of the Union. These circumstances are quite unusual in an action of trespass for taking the property of a citizen, and they seem to us to justify the parties in expecting for the case a more than ordinary degree of consideration. So far as the case is ordinary it deseives only an ordi nary consideration ; but so far as it involves circumstances that are unusual and extra ordinary, it deserves something more. Let us consider how far these extraordinary circum stances affect the case or the law that is to be applied to it. The Rebellion is the first extraordinary element in this case; but no one can pretend that our law was changed by the mere fact of the Rebellion, so far as it relates to the rights that now claim to be vindicated by us. No doubt that Rebellion gave rise to an immense popular excitement—that was quite natural, and inevitable ; we should be more or le ,, s than men if it had not arisen. No doubt, also, that excitement gave rise to great popu lar mistrust and suspicion towards all who seemed to oppose or discourage its great pur pose of crushing the Rebellion ; this, also, was quite natural and inevitable. A very earnest loyalty is quite liable to run to an extreme that is a strain upon the law. No doubt, also, this distrust would soon he visited upon those who, for any reason, shonld seriously question the most summary plans for suppressing the Rebellion, for when people are excited they are sure to be impatient, and censorious of all plans that do not seem to them to promise the most speedy and sum mary success. We are not in such circum stances, prbpared to submit to the control of the law of the land, and to those mutual con cessions to general opinion that are essential to harmonious social action, and our distrust and suspicions are very apt to breed discord among us; and we ought to expect this, and to know bow to meet it consistently with social order. But we do not. By a natural law of such occasions, suspicions, slanders, oppressions and violence are sure to arise ; and many things are said and done which the law of the land forbids, and which, under other circumstances, sound morality would condemn, though a liberal charity might over look them. But none of these circumstances can at all change the Constitution or the laws of the land. The very purpose of law is to set a rule that shall remain fixed and immovable among the disturbances of society, and that shall be the standard for judging them. Law does change in adaptation to the growth of a peo ple, but if it adapted itself to all their excite ments it would cease to he law. It is the quiet and steady rule by which all acts are to be judged, and all rights vindicated; and if we .id that rule with a firm hand, that trewl,les not with the excitements that prevail ar,,utot it, we shall have no difficulty in measuring the rights that are submitted to our judgment. It is the firm, unending rule of sober social thought, and of the common sense of quiet times, and by its standard all civil affairs must be judged, whether they fall be lowl it or profess to rise above it. Hit yielded 1 to excitements it would be judged by them, instead of being their judge. The next important element in this cause is the alleged fact that the act complained of was authorized by the President of the United States, and was executed by important Federal officers. But this element loses all its legal importance when we con sider that all public functionaries in this land are under law, and that none, from the highest to the lowest, are above it. They, as well as we are under the Constitution and laws of the United States, and sworn to support, protect and defend them, or take them as their rule of civil and official conduct, and they and we are ti lie judged by them in our civil and official conduct in all official cases. The acts of the President and his subordinates are, therefore, without right, unless they are authorized by some article of the Constitution, .15 the laws mode under it, and consistent with it. Re can make no laws that can vest in him any new authority, or that can protect those who obey his authorized orders. He would not claim that lie could. Let us concede the maxim that circum stances alter cases, and even the law that governs cases; but let us not be misled by it. In a certain sense, the law of self defence changes according to the violence and nature of the attack or the danger ; that is, the law allows self-defence, and allows that it shall be so conducted that it shall be adequate to the emergency, according to the best judgment of the person attacked ; and thus it sanctions acts that, under other circumstances, it would con demn. But then it never leaves it to any ono to judge finally for himself when the right of self-defence aries, or when the danger is such that the attack of self defence may begin. The law of the land alone can settle that. Hie who enforces rights without the aid of law, must both prove that lie has such rights by law, and that they are exposed to a danger that ciannot safely await the regular forms of legal process. A man who is caught commit ting theft, burglary, murder, and such like, may he arrested by any one without legal process, because of the emergency ; hut then he must he immediately taken before Finale competent authority, where be may be placed in the regular road to a speedy trial, and to justify the arrest the crime charged must be proved. We shall have some use of these thoughts hereafter ; hut the use I want to make of them now is this :—The Federal and State Consti— tutions place the Government under just such restrictions as these :—lt tells the Government how it shall proceed in defending society and the social organism against all the forms of violence, disorder and danger to which society is exposed. It puts all its functionaries under law, so that they shall not invade the order of society, by taking their own forms and modes of protecting it. When they act without law, they must justify themselves before the law by showing an emergency that demands their act. If it he not so, then they ere above law, and not under it. if they may irresponsibly declare the existence of tce emergency, and also the acts Which it demands of them, then, a's to them, we have neither Constitution nor laws. Our Cforivcitution was framed when the re— membrance of the excitements, suspicions, divi..ionv, disloyalty and treasons of the Revo— lution were yet fresh in the minds of our statesmen, and under the light — of all its experience, and they left no gap in it to be supplied by the fears or suspicions of excited times. It is still a sufficient rule of practice for our Government, and it, better than any thing else, embodies the settled and sober tho phi, of this people. When we depart from it, we expose ourselves to the rule of force, and to ; incalculable divisions of opinion, of counsels and of action. And now it is proper for me to say that I , Fte no sufficient evidence that the President of the United States authorized the seizure com— plained of Item I think it entirely improba— ble that ho did. The District Attorney thinks his despatch came from some ono in the War Department. This is no evidence of an order from the President, and that element is, there fore, entirely out of the case. And all these elements being removed, the ca4tt heconies the very common one, in which it is alleged that a public officer has seized the goods of a citizen without proper warrant. It is common against both Federal and State officers. We have had many of them. On an order issued by the District Attorney, the defendants, the Marshal and his deputies seized upon the office of the plantiff's news paper, called the Jeffersonian, and on all its contents, for some supposed violation of law, and afterwards the property was proceeded against for forfeiture in the United States Court, and was soon abandoned by the Dis. triot Attorney, and a decree was entered in favor of the defendant there, the plantiff here. No cause of forfeiture is shown here. The defendants rely entirely on the order of the District Attorney, and on the decree of the Circuit Court for their defence. But the plantiff here was not bound to demand his damages in that action, and may sue for them in this form; and, therefore, there is only one ground of defence that needs any special con sideration. Po the defendants show a warrant issued in proper form by competent authority, that shelters them from responsibility for the act done? What the law requires in order to justify such an act is written in the Constitution, Article 4of the Amendments " The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrant shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be search ed, and the person or things to be seized." A similar law is written in all our State Consti tution, and it is simply the written expression of the unwritten or customary law of the peo ple, known to everybody, descended through a long line of ancestry and of popular dis turbances, and recognized by everybody in times when a quiet reason holds the control of the passions. Another law is to be connected with this one in order that it may be seen how such warrants are to issue. It also is written in the Constitution, whore it vests all judicial power in the courts established by law, and requires that no man shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, except by due process of law. This makes the courts the only authority whence any process can issue for the trial of rights or wrongs. Warrants properly issued by them are a shield to the officer who executes them. Warrants issued by others have no further authority than is contained in the emergency on which they are founded. If the circumstances —the pressing nature of the emergency—justify the act, they justify the warrant; but not otherwise. It is not usual to call such orders warrants, and they are not properly so called. They are merely orders of a suporMr to a subordinate officer to do a special duty which usually: he ought to do without suuh order. When a great cenflagration or a violent mob is raging, ors vessel is, attemptir g to trans gress the revenue laws, or the laws of war, and to escape, there is no time for warrants, and the necessary work - Must be done without them. But then it is always done under respensi t, law through the courts of justice. If the ()cession and the law of the land jo,tify what is done, then the want of a warrant is excused. We understand now the case we have before us. The defendants had no such warrant as is required by the Constitution. It was an order or request," not issued by any judicial officer, and was not founded on the oath of any one, and there is no pretence that any such vielert outrage on social order had been com mitted, arid U. ouch Fussing and urgent emergency existed as to justify the seizure, without warrant, and therefore no justification is made out. There is nothing in the act of Congress of the 6th of August. 1861, that justifies it. It requires the President, in certain eases, to CallSe certain plemperty •' to be seized, confis cated and condemned;" but this means by due process of law. It is nut to be dune by the President himself, but by due process of law by the proper functionaries, and he is to see that they de their duty. These defendants Undertook ro do thin act without warrant, and without any proper occasion shown to us, and therefore they are mere trespas , ers. They are trespassers from the beginning to the end ; atmd the first step in the matter being unjustified, no subsequent and unsuccessful proceeding under the act of 1861 can shelter them from liability for compensation. They would have been liable for a malicious prose cution without probable cause, if the act had been 11110 , T a writ apparently valid. The plantiff is entitled to full compensation for all tint he has I st ime this act. Is the plantiff emit' d to exemplary dam ages? Yes, in e far tie their act was inspired by there wantonness. But exemplary or puni tive damages are usually allowed rather for the ineral then for the hotel wrang that ac— cempaniet eneh ems. For time legal wrong, rompensatimme is the measure of redress. For the named v•rrpr, the recklessness of the net, the personal malice with which it is done, the violence and outrage attending it, fur this you are authorized to allow exemplary damages ; eueh as are reasonable under all circumstances. Y mu must judge how far the defendants are guilty of any mend wrong, beyond the legal wrong, in the act complained of. It was not done on their metien, or to gratify any selfish motive of theirs, but under the apparent au thority 4 their official superiors. Moreover, they did it partly under the influence of wide spread popular excitement, which was rot chargeable to them. We are all liable to such influences, and very few of us, none of us. I should rather say, are able to resist them. We should net be social beings at all if we should resist them all. We naturally and rightly share in the opinions that prevail around us, and we should net be worthy of society if we did not. And yet we are entitled to rise above com mon opinion if we can, and when we do, wo cannot better show that we have done so than by still respecting the common opinions of socit ty as the only opinions upon which it can set. In so far as the defendants acted tinder the influence of the wide-spread popu lar excitement, and not from mere personal motives, they are entitled, to the benefit of it in mitigation of the exemplary damages you may be disposed to allow; not, however, to affect the plaintiff's right to full compensation for the actual loss sustained by him. All that I have now said is in the exast line of the Constitution and statutes of the land, and of all the decisions under them, and under the principles of the common law, many of which you have heard read ; and a little while ago it would have been recognized by every body as the plain law of the land. I am not sure that it will he so now ; if the passions of men make the law there may be some doubt about it. But if the law of the land is the sober and abiding thought of the whole people, that lives through all disorders and excitements, and survives and judges them all--the great ocean undercurrent of thought, to which waves, and storms, and tempests do not reach—then what I have said is the law still. I know of no other law for this case. This is the law,;and the plaintiff iA entitled to damages—compensative, if the de . fendants acted in good faith, and under a mere mistake of authority ; and exemplary,if there was any bad faith, recklessness and oppression intended in their act. I have no further or speelal answer to give to the points submitted by the counsel for the defendants. Titcy have all been substantially answered. The ease is now in your hands, g ntie nv ot, and I am sure you will dispose of it in t , ucli a way that, long as you may live— nt_l I hope it may he long—you will never have reason to regret the part you have had in it. The damages you may give are of no sort of importance compared with the decision upon principles that has devolved upon me. The jury were then directed, if they agreed upon a verdict, to seal the same, and bring it into Court this morning. The Court then adjourned.
