Delinquents Razeed.
We have given notice from time
to 'time, for the last three or four
months, of our determination, as a
matter of necessity, to strike from
our list all delinquent subscribers to
THE INTELLIGENCEIt. We have al
ready erased a number of names,
and shall continue the process from
week to week until we have the job
completed. Those who have not
received the paper for several weeks,
or who may not receive it hereafter,
will know the reason. Delinquents
who are able to pay, but who neglect
or refuse to square up their accounts,
will have costs added from and after
the first of April. At the present
enormous price of white paper we
cannot any longer afford to furnish
the printed sheet "free gratis for
nothing." This is our ultimatum,
and no further indulgence can or
will be granted; nor would it be
fair to our paying subscribers, nor
just to ourselves, that more time
should be given.
FIRST OF APRIL CIIANGES.—Those
of our subscribers who intend to
change their places of residence on
or about the first of April, are re
quested to give us timely notice of
the same, in order that their papers
may be forwarded or delivered to
them at their new residences. They
should always be careful to state the
place from, as well as the place to
which they remove. Early atten
tion to this matter, will save trouble,
and insure the prompt receipt of the
paper by subscribers, in town and
country.
A Political Parson
The Express has secured the ser
vices of a worthy assistant in its
abuse of the Democracy in general
and the Editor of the Intelligencer
in particular—a conceited political
Parson with vastly more beard than
brains, who is an Abolitionist of the
deepest dye, and signs himself J.
PASTORFIELD. This clerical mounte
bank slashes right and left in blood
and thunder style, in a perfect frenzy
of zeal for old Abe and the negro
and against the " copperheads,"
and thinks 'the Lancaster Intelli
gencer ought to he suppressed—for
telling the truth about our Abolition
=rulers. The fellow is evidently
anxious for notoriety, and would be
delighted beyond measure to have
a bout with the Editor of this paper.
But we will not condescend to grati
fy him in his wish, as we make it a
rule never to shoot at flies when
there are pigeons about. We there
fore decline any controversy with
this "wolf in sheep's clothing "
this political jackanapes with the big
heard and empty head, the Reverend
I. PASTORFIELD, of Strasburg, and
dismiss the subject by advising the
Annual Conference, now in session
at West Chester, to encase him in a
straight jacket without delay so as
to prevent him from bursting his
boiler.
The " Copperheads " About!
THE CONSTITUTION AND UNION EVERY
WHERE TRIUMPHANT !-THE " NIG
GERHEADS " CRUSHED OUT
At the municipal election in Read
ing, on Friday last, JOSEPH S. HOTER
(Dern.) was elected Mayor by 243
majority. The Democrats also
elected the Treasurer and Auditor,
eleven of the sixteen Councilmen,
and an equal proportion of the other
Ward Officers by large majorities.
In the City of Harrisburg, the
same day, the Democrats elected
their veteran candidate for Mayor,
General A. L. ROUMFORT, by 42 ma
jority. They also elected all the
members of the City Council, and
nearly all the other City :officers by
still larger majorities.
York Borough elects the Demo
cratic candidate for Chief Burgess
by 106 majority—a gain of 59 on
the majority 'of last year. The
Democrats also carried three of the
five wards for ,Council, and elected
their candidate for High Constable.
In the Borough of Carlisle, the
same day, the Democrats carried
the Chief Burgess and a majority of
the Council by from 70 to 100 ma
jority.

There has been skirmishing in

hfi Feeling; 6W
Nevet were the Democracy so
earnest or so consolidated as they,
now are. Not even in the days of
Old Hickory were they so heartily;
in. earnest, united, and eager to ex.; .
press their feelings at the ballot-boxj,
The:terrible realitieS which surround,
as a people, the : horrors into
which Sectionalismhai..plunged the
country, have eliminated from the
Democrats the last remaining'vestige
of that unhappy feeling of dissen
sion which prostrated them two
years ago as a party ; while the
monstrous deeds of the hour, the
gigantic usurpations, the open vio 7
lations of the Constitution, the cor
ruptions unfolded concerning thiS
infatuated Administration and its
partizan army of contractors and
jobbers, have aroused and strength
ened the Democrats beyond exam
ple. They go together as a unit
now. And they will terribly rebuke
the pensioned slanderers who have
dared to abuse them so outrageously
—to assail their character as a party,
and to impugn their patriotism. If
an election were held to-Morrow in
Pennsylvania, says the Harrisburg
Patriot, the "Democrats would carry
the State by 100,000." And we do
not think the estimate too large.—
The same feeling prevails in Ohio—
where (says a gentleman of a neigh
boring town, who has just returned
from a journey through that State)
the Democrats would to-day sweep
the State like a whirl Wind, and elect
such an uncomprising National man
as Vallandigham by 75,000 to 100,-
000 majority.'
We believe it. Pennsylvania,
New York, Illinois and Indiana have
shown what the feeling is. The
Republican party, like its head at
Washington, has proved a tremen
dous failure. It has sunk out of
sight in its own corruption, and the
people wait for an opportunity to
rebuke its destructive headlong fa
naticism, which aims at final SEPA
RATION and DICTATORSHIP. And
the time is fast coming when the
epitaph of that disastrous organiza
tion shall be written. Its brief but
terrible history has already been writ
ten in characters of blood.
New Hampshire Election.
Complete returns of the recent
election in New Hampshire show
the following result for Governor :
Eastman (Dem.) 32,796
Gilmore (Rep.) 28,980
Harriman (War Dem, 4,438
... .....
-.)
It Will be seen that the Democratic
candidate only lacks 623 votes of an
election over the combined opposi
tion. Last year the combined ma
jority against the Democratic candi
date was 5,338. Our net gain is,
therefore, 4,718.
We have gained one member of
Congress, elected three of the nine
Senators, two of the five Councillors,
and in the House the Democrats will
have 142 against 186 Republicans—
showing a net gain of 39 members
over last year.
P
Under all the circumstances the
Granite State has done remarkably
well for the Democracy. Their
complete triumph is only a question
of time, and one year more will
again place New Hampshire in the
list of Democratic States.
Death of General Sumner.
Major General EDWIN V. SUMNER
died, after a brief illness, at Syracuse,
N. Y., on Saturday last, in the 67th
year of his age. Gen. S. entered
the Army in 1819, and has served
with distinction in every war in
which the country has been engaged
since that time, including the pres
ent, and has been Wounded several
times. Ile was a brave and experi
enced officer, and his loss will be
seriously felt by the army and coun
try at the present time.
State Librarian
The Governor has appointed - WIEN'
FORNEY, formerly of this city and for
some time past Editor of the Har
risburg Telegraph, State Librarian,
in place of Rev. Dr. Wm. R. Do
Witt, who has held the place under
all administrations since his first ap
pointment by Grovernot BIGLER in
1854. Dr. De W. was au admira
ble officer iii every respect, by far
the best who ever filled that respon
sible station ; but his offence con
sisted in being a Democrat, and that
was enough to ensure his removal.
The Forney family are faring well
in these Abolition times. Renegade
Democrats are trump both at -Wash
ington and Harrisburg. But. pay
day will come sooner or later.
The Senate of the United
States has confirmed the appoint
ment of Col. WELSH, of Columbia
Borough, as Brigadier General.
Why is it that the gallant Col.
lIAMBRIGHT has not also been pro
moted ? Is it because of some anti
pathy that Governor Curtin has to
him, in addition to the fact that he
is a sound Democrat?
THE ,6 UNION LEAGUES.”
The Harrisburg Telegraph in speaking of
the Abolition leagues, whose business it is to
plot in secret in favor of negroee and against
civil liberty and white men says, it is
" To organize, not merely to carry elections,
but to assist the government in enforcing the
laws. Whether it is the hanging of a traitor
who distils his poison in our midst, or the re
pulse of a rebel," he.
And again :
" In our attachment to the Loyal League,
there must be no halting, no hesitation, no
divided devotion. Those who are not with us,
are against us. No man can plead being out
of politics at this day."
Who ever before heard of midnight oath
bound leagues to assist in the enforcement of
laws, especially by men who defend mobs in
breaking them. " Those who are not for us
are against us." That's so, and -there is ten
to one against
. you. "No man can plead
being out of politics." At least none of the
"no party" gentlemen.
'FRE PRESIDENT'S LAST JOKE.--410 New
York Herald relates that when Mr. Lincoln
heard of the recent rebel raid at .Fairfax, in
which a Brigadier, General and a number of
valuable horses *ere captured, be gravely
observed, "Well, I am sorry for the horses."
" Sorry for the horses, Mr. President I" es
claimed the Secretary of War, raising his
spectacles and throwing himself back in his
chair in astonishment. "Yes," replied Mr.
Lincoln, "I can make as good a Brigadier Gen.
eral infive minutes, bat it is not so easy to re
place a hundred and' ten horses."
It is not improbable that the insurrection
in Poland may have an important bearing
upon the struggle in this country. It i s as .
Burning a magnitude that no one anticipated.
The efforts of Russia`to suppress it seem to
be unavailing. Foreign powers are becom
ing involved in it, and it bide fair to be the
great and all-absorbing trouble in Europe,
for some time to tome. While it oontinuev,
the great powers will not venture to interfere
in American affairs, except in a manner,
friendly to the Union.
The course pursued by the Prussian Govern.
pent, in reference to Poland, has not only
'disturbed France and England, but it has led
to a ministerial difficulty in Prussia itself.-- 7
A portion of the ministry could not approve
of the convention made with Prussia, and
Count Bismaik-Schonhansen, the chief minis
ter and the main supporter of the King in his
late unconstitutional course, has been con
strained to resign. This will probably lead
to a general change in the ministry and a
consequent change in the policy of Prussia
on the Polish question, which may involve
her in a difficulty with Russia.
The great European intermeddler, the Em.
peror of the French, is particularly exercised
in his mind on the subject of Prussian inter.
meddling. He has written an autograph let
ter of remonstrance to the King, his news
papers are angry and menacing in their tone,
and he is moving troops towards the Rhenish
frontier, as if preparing to enforce his will by
arms, if be fails by negotiation. England is
reported to have united with Franco in a line
of policy concerning Poland, the plan being
to keep up the old order of things, but require
the Czar to give the Poles a constitutional
government and the form of nationality.—
flow the Emperor Napoleon reconciles this
plan with his course towards Prussia does not
appear.
It is to be remarked that all the great
powers, Russia, England, France and Prussia,
are suddenly brought into imminent clangor
of a collision by this revolution in Poland.—
They must necessarily give less attention to
American affairs, for the menaced danger
nearer home will compel them to abandon
schemes relating to remoter countries. We
will be left to carry on our war in our own
way, and the rebels will be deprived of what
little hope they have entertained of help from
abroad. It is thus probable that the struggle
for freedom in Poland may serve the cause of
the Union in America.
SCOTT AND DIcCLELLAN.
It will be recollected that a few weeks ago,
TEIADDEUS STEVENS, for the purpose of stab
bing the fair fame of General MCCLELLAN,
produced a letter from General SCOTT to the
Secretary of War, charging MCCLELLAN with
disobedience of orders, in refusing to report
through him to the Secretary of War. As
yet the letter stands unrefuted, General Mc.
CLELLAN not deigning to reply to thp foul
imputations sought to be cast upon him by
the back window hero of the Buckshot War.
But the following, which we clip from the
New York Tribune of the 12th inst., will go
tar to justify the course of the young General
before the people, and it must be gall and
wormwood to STEVENS and his Abolition
4 . A Philadelphia correspondent furnishes
the following explanation of General McClel
lan's failures to report to Gen. Scott when the
latter was his active superior, and of the
silence of Gen. Scott in view of the recent
publication of his official letter of complaint
against General McClellan. We do not know
that this explanation is correct and we pub
lish it only to elicit further elucidations,
which the matter eminently requires. Can it
be true that our Government allowed a de
tected traitor—ono who bad betrayed a posi
tion of the very highest trust—to be placed
on the retired list and to go to Europe on pay
as still an officer of our army? If it did,
who can wonder that treason is rife in our
service, and that gunboats and ships of war
are betrayed into the hands of our enemies ?
But hear cur correspondent
To the Editor of the New York Tribune:
Sea: Many persons are disappointed in
learning that General Scott will not publish
an explanation of his complaints against
General McClellan to the Secretary of War,
which was, by the call of Mr. Stevens, of
Pennsylvania, on the Secretary of War, pub
lished and read in the House ?of Representa
tives. Many ask why was the letter called
for. There was a discussion on the subject,
and they ask what it was intended to show
by it? Thereby hangs a tale. Gen. Scott's
position is a very delicate one ; some people
do suspect the General's Union sentiments to
lean toward the " wayward sisters ;" but no
matter about that. Gen. Scott writes to dm'
Secfetary of War, complaining of McClel
lan's indifference or neglect of him fur not
reporting his plans or consulting him about
the disposition of Lis forces. This occurred
some time after it had been discovered by
General McClellan that General Scott's office
was not the safest place for him to expose his
plans or make known what he was doing.—
It is known that General McClellan's plans
had been several times in a very mysterious
way made known to the Rebels almost as
quickly as they were made known to our
commanders in the field. General McClellan
found out the individual ; it was General
Scott's son-in-law, Henry L. Scott, who was
with General S. in Washington as an Inspec
tor General with the rank, pay, &0., of a
Colonel of Cavalry. General McClellan went
to the President about the extraordinary de
nouement, and Colonel Scott and Adjutant
General Thomas, who was also suspected of
treachery, were summoned to the White
House to be confronted on the charge. Cul.
Scott confessed his guilt What was done?
Why, Col. Scott, instead of being shot for his
treason, was allowed to be placed on the retired
list for life, and to reeeive.the pay and emol
uments of a Lieutenant Colonel of Cavalry'
He immediately went to Europe, where he is
doing all he can for secession l General
Scott will not publish nnytbing. Ile knows
the reason why Gen. McClellan did not re
port his plans to him, and General Scott will
not stir up a matter that would be of no ad
vantage to one of his family who is a traitor
living upon a Government which he basely
betrays. SMITH."
A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE
When the Democratic party was in power,
the Abolitionists complained that the times
were so hard, and promised that if the people
would elect them to office, there would be
better times. They were elected, and the
good times have come. The blessings of Abo
litionism are upon us. Below we will give
the retail prices of several articles in daily
and general use, as they were under a Demo
cratic administration, and as they are now
under an Abolition administration. Consu
mere Will vouch for the correctness of the
statement, as they feel the change most sen

THE TOWNSHIP ELECTIONS.—The Township
elections generally throughout Lancaster county show a
healthy increase in the Democratic vote. In Eden town
•ship the Democrats swept the board clean, electing their
entire ticket by an average majority of Si votes. In Eph.
rata we elected the Assessor and one of the Supervisors by
37 majority. In Lancaster township the Democratic can.
dictate for Assessor was elected without opposition. The
Democrats elected their candidate for Burgess in Marietta
by 3 majority. In Columbia the Democrats carried one
ward, and the "Black Snakes" the other. The Democrats
of Washington Borough elected their ticket by a handsome
Majority. The Democracy of glorious old Colorain carried
that township by an overwhelming majority, very few of
the "Black Snakes" coming out of their holes.
GOOD • FOR. MARIETTA.—SAMOEL HIPPLZ,
Esq., the Democratic candidate, was elected Chief Bergen
of the Eorough of Marietta on Friday, over the "Black
Snake" candidate, by 3 majority. Marlette la generally an
opposition borough, but the noble Democracy made a gal
lant: fight, and the result is as above.
THE DEMOCRACY ARE FULLY AROUSED I—The
meetings of the Democratic Central Club increase in inter.
eat and enthusiasm. On Thursday evening last Hon.
Isaac B. MUM the President, was present, and cu
taking the chair made a few appropriate and pertinent r:
marks. He said that he had not come to make a speech,'
but merely to say that he accepted the position to which
he had been chrsen, and to cast his lot with the members
of the Club for the campaign. He made a scathing allusion
to the principles of the srecalled Union League, and in
brief and eloquent terms stated the difference between the
Democracy and that organization on the Emancipaticm
and Confiscation schemes, the Negro Enlistment Bill and
other unconstitutional acts of the corrupt Lincoln Admin
istration. In conclusion, be said that he would take plear
ore in giving his views on these questions more at length
at a future meeting of the Club. Mr. H. was greeted with
the warmest applause.
Mayor Bewnsarow was called for, and ably and eloquently
entertained the Club for a few moments.
W. W. Bums, Esq , followed with a some pointed and
eloquent remarks on the policy of the Democratic party
from the foundation of the Government, as contrasted
with that of the miserable Abolition faction now in power.
Mr. B. was warmly applauded.
Capt. Joan Wise was then called for, and spoke in hie
usual bold, eloquent and fearless manner. He made sev
eral humorous allusions to the rural clergyman who hes
come to the aid of the "forger" in South Queen street in
editing the smut machlue, and also to that worthy himself.
These allusions were resolved with shouts of laughter.—
The Captain quoted from the last speech of the late Judge
DouoLAt in the U. 8. Senate, to show the inconsistency cf
the Abolitionists in claiming that lamented statesmen as
an advocate for war to restore the Union. He spoke fcr
about threequarters of an hour, and was frequently inter
rupted with thunders of applause during his eloquent and
impassioned remarks.
8. H. REYNOLDS, Esq., was called for, but begg.d to
be excused from speaking, and moved that Dr. RANGEL
Wuccoass address the Club. The Dr. complied, and in a
few humorous remarks, which excited much laughter, ex
plained the difference between the Copperheads (Demo
crats) and the Black Snakes (Black Republicans). .
The Club adjourned to moot on Thursday evening next,
at 7 o'clock,
DEMOCRATIC CLUB OF BART TIVP.—The De
mocracy of Bart township met at Green Tree, on the 12th
inst., and organized a Club, with the following Declaration
of Principles:
Cosirmunoto ' Am. ll—That the purpose and intention
of this Club Is to use their undivided efforts, in co-opera
tion with all true Democrats and Democratic organizations,
to restore a true and perfect Union of these Stales, wherein
equsl and exact justice is rendered to all, the rights of all
secured and respected, and their full Rod perfect equality
recognized. And that we will cling, as the mariner to his
sheet anchor, to the Constitution as framed, understood
and carried out by the sages end patriots who adopted it.
And that with our whole hearts we abhor and oppose all
sectionalism and sectional parties, and all their violations
and infringements of the Constitution. And we believe
that if, under Divine Providence, our country Is to be re.
stored, it is the Democratic party alone that can restore it,
and that it can only be done by measures within the Con
stitution, and never by the subjugation or annihilation of
our brethren of any part of oar once happy country.
The following gentlemen were chosen officals:
President—John M. Heyberger.
Tice Presidents—Christopher Graham, Sr., John Helm,
Charles Rynear, John J. Keylor, Robert W. Patterson,
William Summerell.
Recording Secretary—William K. Mitchell.
Corresponding Secretary—Hervey Baughman.

picture of health, and his spirits are as buoyant as of yore.
He will return to his Regiment in a few days.
Capt. P. I. O'Romise, of Co. K let Rwrerves, we learn, is
at home on a abort furlough. He Is said to be looking well
and is in good spirits.
RESIGNATION AND APP3INT7SENT.—Major
Meals Docroohaa resigned hie Paymasterehip in the U.
S. Army. Ile was one of the moat prompt and correct o@•
cars connected with the Pay Department, and his resigna

principal reason for reelgolog is to again take charge of
the Colemausllie Iron Wcrke, which are shortly to be put
in operation.
8. M. nEYNOLDS, Req., late of Castle Fin Iron Works, York
county, ban been appointed to the place made vacant by
the resignation of Mej. H. He is a gentleman of superior
business qualifications, and Will make an excellent officer.
READING AND COLUMBIA RAILROAD.—L9.Bt
Thursday, the 12th inst., the track of this railroad was
completed as far as Mix, and In the afternoon of the same
day the first train of cars came to the town. Their arrival
caused scarcely any sensation. The road having for so
long a timwtieen finished to within half a mile from Litl2.
and a dels"Y of weeks having then ensued, the novelty of
the thing had passed away when the locomotive and its

The train from Columbia now arrives at Litix daily,
Sundays excepted, at 11 o'clock, A. 11., and leaves for Co

Cumberland. Ile is a strict disciplinarian, but kind and
forbearing. This regiment enjoys the honor of being the
best drilled corps in the Woe. This is alike due to the

evening; , . about 8 o'clock, a fire broke out In the barn of
Mr. Christian C. Lapp, in Fart Laorpeter township, near
floudersburg. and it was. completely destroyed, together
with about fifty bushels of wheat, and a quantity of oats
and hay. Fortunately, through the timely arrival of some
neighbor's, all the stock waarescued. Mr. Lapp and family
were on a visit to near neighbors at the time the Sr. was
discovered. It is believed to have been the work of an in.

was insured, but not sufficient to cover ,tb• loss.

came up before the Senate On Thursday last, upon the bill
to extend the charter of the Lancaster County Bank Fir
five years. The preeent charter of this Bank does not ex

was reported by the 'Committee on Banks with the trletv
to enable it to wind up Its affairs, and come under the
general law of-the Federal Government or' he Free Bank
ing Act of the State. The same course is punned by the
Committee towards all the Bente applying for re charters.
After repeated failures to induce the Senate to consent
toe longer extension than five years, this bill passed the
Senate by a large majority, and Be passage Is en indication
of the fate of all the applicants of a like character,

For The Totelllgencer
THE STEVENS SERENADE. AND THE
BLACK. REPUBLICAN SNEAKS.
MIMS. EDITORS: If any conduct of the Black Republi
cans can be more astounding than that which has masked
every atop of the progress of the party Shoe far, ft is the
attempt - to foist upon The Inteingencer and its teachings
the responsibility of the occurrence at the Stevens lore.
nada.
It is known to every reader of The Intell!gamer, who
has the manliness to represent the true sentiments of his
own heart, that that paper has been one of the very fore
most in the State in counseling moderation and order,
ever since our National calamities have been forced upon
U 3 by the Black Republicans. The position, moral integ
rity and patriotic conservatism of the Editor have Overt
him a prestige in public favor which will workout for him
an enviable future, and preclude the idea as a slander In
its very Inception that he would ever advise a breach of
the peace, or a course of conduct that would lead to riot
and anarchy.
The egging of lie. Stevens WAS more deserved than the
serenade, and was but the first fruits of the teachings of
Black Republican journalism, and the intolerance of his
own principles and actions. Such men as Steven' have
not only destroyed the best Government upon earth by
their unrelenting agitation of a question they knew from
the start to be destructive to the true principles of Consti
tutional liberty, but their papers and months are contin
ually filled with such epithets as "disunionists," "seces
sionists," "traitors" and "dialoyalista," until disgust and
contempt have ripened into anger and revenge. And who
can control the human heart when thus goaded on to bit
terness and frenzy 1 They have lived to no purpose who
hove attained to the age of manhood, and have not learned
that human endurance is not a perpetual proof against the
sneers and ineulta of a contemptible pack of sneaks, who
will perpetrate the very worst crimes against their country
and their fellow men, and then try to foist the crime upon
others. The wonder is that the Democracy of the country
have thus long tolerated a system of persecution too great
far human endurance, and that missilee far more formida
ble than rotten eggs have not be en brought into requisi
tion to teach the miscreants lessons of wisdom and moder
ation, where common decency and common sense have
failed to ineuicate good breeding and good manners.
Tho Democracy of the North most be regarded as being
as chivalrous and courageous as the people of the South,
and fully as sensitive nod equally jealous of their rights.
And if the Black Republicans persist in their nefarious
and devilish efforts to drivethe people of the North into
revolution by piling insult upon injury, and the enforce
ment of unjust and unconstitutional laws, they must ex
pect to reap the bitter fruits of their own "right hand
planting." They, themselves, have given us the Copper
head as the emblem of the deadly venom of the Democracy.
and if we add the motto, "Don't tread on us, %Del:now our
rights," they must not be unwarned if the storm comes
swiftly and disastrously upon them.
The conduct of a partizan and reckless President and
Congress. the perfidy of a depraved joornaliem• and the
short-eighted toed act of men who are led by the teach tope
of ir f nutted factions and crazy moralists, cannot much
longer outrage the feelings of an insulted and maddened
public sentiment. The people will not be patient for ever.
It therefore behooves the incendiaries of the Abolition war
prees to reflect how long the evil eplrit they have invoked
can be restrained from turning upon those who worked
the spell. Let them strain their vision to leek a little
beyond the dense fogs of their own fanatitism, and they
will Bee that the warning finger of danger potato signifi
' canny at themselves. When the elements of popular in
titillation, now ominoualy rumbling, shall bogie to rage,
let them feel that they, paralyzed from escape with the
weight of their responsibility, are standing upon the thin
nest cf the volcanic crest, ready at the first convulsion to
sink into the roaring crater.
Those who can look all around a threatening horizon
without their gaze being fixed, and their vision dimmed
by a stubborn prejudice, can discern the growing, waving
cloud of popular indignation advancing with accumulating
strength to overwhelm the party which has wantonly
destroyed every vestige of respect for the powers of the
Constitution, changed the fundamental principles of the
Goverment, and destroyed that amity which alone can
insure a perpetuity of the Union of the States, and the
blmeings of civil liberty. Clessavett.
THE JOHN BROWN RAID--AN IMPOR-
Mr. SUMNER was re-elected to the United
States Senate, some time ago, by the Legisla
ture of Massachusetts. Mr. Swes, a mem
ber of the Senate of that State, although a
Republican, would not, it seems, vote for Mr.
SUMNER, and gave the following reasons for
so refusing
" I came now, Mr. President, to what is
known in history of the John Brown raid.—
This expedition was planned and fitted out in
Boston, and its expenses defrayed by sub
scription: The day ho started for Harper's
Ferry on his deed of murder, he dined in
room No. 4, Parker House, in company with
some of the most ardent and zealous suppor
ters of Mr. Sumner, and for this reason I al
lude to it. The Republican party now dis
own the act ; they call him a monomaniao—
an insane man I but when the telegraphic
wires, with lightning speed, brought the news
of his death to New England. so depraved at
that time was the public sentiment here, that
the village church bells tolled out his funeral
knell, and the ministers of God, with a few
honorable exceptions, prayed in their pulpits
that the departed spirit of the "patriot saint '
might.rest in peace. This act, Mr. President,
was the death-blow to the peace of the Union.
Without it, Virginia would not have seceded
—and God grant that we may yet recover
from it. I know the names of the persons
who were engaged in this transaction, and
shall leave a record of them for history.
" Another deed of murder, Mr. President,
and I will not detain you longer. When
Anthony Burns, the fugitive slave, was con
, fined in the Court House in this city, a meet
ing was held at Faneuil Hall to consider the
subject. Theodore Parker and the Reverend
Thomas W. Higginson were there. Mr. Par
ker, in concluding an eloquent speech, al
luded to the fact that a slave was confined in
the Court House, and exclaimed in substance.
" Why stand we here idle ? To the rescue !"
A rush was immediately made for the Court
House, and at the door stood a poor laboring
man, a Mr. Batchelder, a night watch; His
wife and two children were probably sleeping
at home, possibly dreaming of him as he was
toiling for their daily bread. The crowd de
manded admittance, he refused, and was im
mediately assassinated upon the spot. WI o„,
killed him the world never knew. These
men, Mr. President, were the confidential
friends and supporters of Mr. Sumner, and
! for this reason I have alluded to the subject.
I vote against him."
PROPOSITIONS FOR AN ARMISTICE.
To the Editors of the Evening Post :
At a meeting held at Stamford, Conn., on
Tuesday evening last, I said "that propositions
for an armistice or peace had been submitted
to the President on the 12th December last,
which had they been accepted, would have
terminated this war by the Ist of April, upon
a basis satisfactory to the people North and
South." In referring to this statement you
ask:
Who made these "propositions for an annis
film or peace," the adoption of which • Mr.
Wood pretends to believe "would have settled
the matter" by All Fools' day ? Were they
made by Davis and his fellow rebels ? If so,
how does Mr. Wood know anything about
them ? has he been in secret correspondence
with the enemy. Or were they made by some
of the anti war men here? If so, who
authorized them? And what are the terms
of the propositions from which Mr. Wood
hopes so much ? If they are honorable to the
nation ; if they are such as patriotic . Americans
ought to favor, why not make them public at
once?
To which I say in reply that the statement
referred to was made by me deliberately, with
a full and personal knowledge of the facts,
and that I am constrained from the publicity
of them only by the request of one of the prin
cipal officers of the government. When thie
interdiction shall be withdrawn I will cheer—
fully gratify your curiosity. 'Very reepect—

SENSIMMI SPEECH.
We are glad that' Brassaohusetts bad one
man of common sense in the last Congress.—
Judge Tawas, though - Republican,
frequently gives utterance to reasonable and
conservative views. We make the •following
extract from his speech on the negro soldier
bill :
Mr. Speaker let sue now turn to another
feature of this bill; the term of enlistment. It
provides far the enlistAint - of men for a period
offreyears. Whyfive yearel I think there
is more significance in that word "five" in this
bill than in all other words written in it. Its
possible objects are not written. Do you
mean to say to the country that it is your ex
pectation, your reasonable expectation, and.the
basis on which you propose to make enlist
ments for your army, that this war is to con
tinue for a period of five years longer? _ Do
you mean to say to the country that on the
vast scale on which the War is now prosecuted,
and at the expense of treasure and life at which
it is prosecuted, you expect to carry it on for
five y ears
. more ? If such be your expectation,
it is pet and manly to say so. If such be not
your expectation, pray add nothing to the
anxiety and alarm of the people.
Mr. Speaker, if the objeot of this war is res•
toration, that involves a state of things, pres
ent or future, which will soon be developed
and felt. A war for restoration proceeds upon
the ground that'you will find in the rebel
States, as your army advances and protection
is made possible, men who are ready to rally
again under the blessed flag of the Union and
to return to their allegiance to the national
Government. If that feeling exists and is
developed, certainly it will be'developed before
the lapse of five years : ; never indeed, hy this
instrumentality, never. But if the object of
this war is not restoration ; if the purpose and
object of this war are—as is sometimes de.
dared in the heated and brilliant rhetoric of
gentlemen on your left—subjugation, eater.
mination, the re-colonization of the whole
rebel territory, then your term of enlistment
is altogether too short—altogether too short.
If, Mr. Speaker, the object be extermination,
there is not one of these pages, snatched pre
maturely from his mother's arms or cradle,
who will live to see the end. Yon have been
waging the war two years, and yet the number
of inhabitants in the rebel States to-day is
larger than it was when the war begun. Yon
cannot, probably, if you would, and you would
not if you could, carry on a war with a fierce
ness and severity that would destroy life as
rapidly as it germinates. Men, in war even,
will marry and women bo given in marriage ;
children will be born to them, and their
mothers will hold them to their flowing breasts
as the storm sweeps, by. The angel of life
will triumph over the angel of death. Suoh
is the blessed economy of God. The extermin
ation of eight millions of people, with the use
of all our power and dll our resources, is a
moral and physical ' impossibility. Of this
war, if it is carried-on for extermination,
neither you nor I, Mr. Speaker, may hope to
see its close but in one way, to us the way
of deepest humilitation ; the intervention of
other nations, to stay its ravages. Who talks
of war of extermination is simply mad."
SERENADE TO SIR. CRITTENDEN
Oa Wednesday cvaning last, Hon. JOHN J.
CRITTENDEN, of Kent icky, was serenaded at
the Girard House in Philadelphia. After the
Band had performed several National airs,
Mr. C. came upon the balcony and was re
ceived with cheers.
In response, he returned his thanks fur the
kindly feeling manifested towards him, but
declined making any extended remarks.—
After alluding to the unhappy condition of
our national affairs, he said that we had a
great duty to perform ;* we must sustain the
free Government which our fathers bequeathed
to us. The speaker did not advocate battling
against the Southern people because ho hated
them ; God knows be loved the South, but he
felt it his duty to sustain our noble Govern
ment, and he intended to do eo. [Applause.]
True, in the prosecution of this war there wad
much to complain of, and he would not render
a silent acquiescence to what he thought was
wrong. Truth and Justice are the strength of
a people, and they would always make any
cause's° mush the stronger and bettor. The
speaker therefore would protest against the
evil policies which he thought bad entered
into the war, and which were making it more
continuous and bloody than it might other
wise have been. He trusted fur a restoration
of the Union. " There is a Divinity that
shapes our ends, rough hew them as wo will,""
and, notwithstanding errors in the prosecution
of the war, the speaker believed we would yet
attain future honor and glory as a people.
The officers of the Government have -their
duties to perform and we must judge them
frankly and Itherally, and not, under any,
pretext, submit to any violation of the Con
stitution, for that is our liberty and our life.
A people who have habituated themselves to
submitting quietly to violations of their .Con
t3titution may eventually submit to the depri
vation of liberty. We are now contending
fur the perpetuation of our institutions. We
are not fighting from motives of hatred or ven
geance, but upon noble and magnanimous
principles. Our country must remain united,.
else it will be nothing but a source of danger
and sorrow hereafter. We should, then, fight
as contending with brothers. The South have
been our brothers, and must be so, if we suc
ceed, and we will succeed. As Homer says:
is not in bate, but in honor only, that these
chiefs contend."
After renewing his thanks for the compli
ment tendered him, the speaker retired, amid
applause.
COPPERHEADS
Whilst we have never objected to this
euphonious appellation applied to us by the
" Niggerheads," as Bennett calls the Aboli
tion tribt, we confess that we did not fairly
understand why it was applied to us. dreely
gives us a little light on the subject. In
the Tribune of Tuesday last, we find the fel-
lowing :
A distinguished gentleman of Philadelphia,
in the course of a private letter, says: "At
M'Coy!s lecture at the Opera House on Thurs
day evening, after cheers had bean given most
heartily for butler, Burnside and • Fighting
Joe Hooker,' somebody in the upper tier called
out, 'Now three cheers for Gen. McClellan'
a proposition that was met by a dciep silence,
broken only by some hissing and by some one
below calling oat, 'Why, there is a Copper
head.' "
From this it appears that the friends of
General McClellan are thus designated. We
are happy to know it. We are a large party,
we Copperheads, a vast multitude, comprising
three-fourths of the army and a large majority
at home. And we will he larger still. Like
Aaron's serpent, we will swallow up the rest.

OBE BASKET OF BUTTERNUTS

and behold the greenback days of Abolition.

" The Or knoweth his owner and the Ass

Patrick Henry said : "Give me liberty or
give me death l' The Ab-o-lieh say : " Give
us the Free Americans of African descent or
give us death."
The drafting bill recently passed by the
United States Congress grants exemption to all
those who pay three hundred dollars cash—
just the price of a nigger. Thus it appears
that he who buys a nigger is excused from
dying for one.
Gold is at a premium of fifty-six per cent.
It is equalled only by the premium of Butter
