In view of the pres ß nt distraoted state of national affairs, the Republicans of Centre Couiitjr have concluded to hold a Grand Mars Meeting, on WEDNESDAY EVENING, Jan'y., 30.b. This is no time for party animosity, and every Democrat in Centre County is cotdial ly invited to attend. Come Democrats, let us meet as one eoniraon brotherhood and de liberate on the dangers that now threaten ear hitherto happy country. The Wide Awakes will not parade, as was originally designed, but eyery member of this noble band should be prevent at the meeting. Hon. Edgar A. Cowan, and Hon- David Wilmot, have been invited to attend and ad-' dress the meeting. Let there be a full turn oat. Blanchards Card. We find the following curd in last week's Issue of the Press. T the People of Centre County. Without dpnymg the right of editors to sail political meetings when-they see fit, common courtesy, and a consideration for the harmonic us action of the party, would seem to demand, at least, consultation. But higher considerntior n induce me, as Chair man of this County Executive Committee, at this tirno, n protest against the unauthorized eall issued from tne Centre Democrat office, its manner, spirit ar.a objeot. The good ol the country demands no such meetings. Ail partisan efforts fail, and only add fuel to t ie flame. The stability of our Government is endangered. The Union is no longer cm sd cred safe. We want no men to refleot up at ths momentous issues now tresonied, witu t too), calm and deliberate judgement. Ail party considerations should y eld to a pani otic fidelity to the G'v rmnent. It is no time to call upon a party. It any meeting at the January Court is considered advisable, let the people of Centre county, irrespective of party, meet 10 consult how they nviy host provo their devotion to the Uniuu and tbrir loyalty to that government which has enrich ed them witb inestimable blessings. I sub mit tbe-e suggestions to the Americans and Republicans of Bentre county, in vindication of the course of the County Committee in not responding so the ill-timed call for a meeting ®f tbe party in connection with the Wide Awakes at the January Court. EDMUND BLANCHiRD. Chairman County Executive Committee. There is not, and should, not be any quar rel between Mr. Blanchard and myself. And so far as I am concerned there shall be Done, I am unwilling, after, having worked for six years with ail my p, war, and vr.th All the ability, be it iittle or much, which I possess, for the redemption of Centre county from the thraildom of Locofocaism, and for the ascendency cf the glorious principles of the Amifiean Republican party, to do any thing which would mar the peace and har mony of that party, or place again in the mi nority the great principles advocated by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Clay, Web • ster, and other mighty intellects of their day aDd generation, whose names now occupy a conspicuous placo in the glorious constella tion of American statesmen. The principles of our party are based upon Liberty aod Jus tice. With freedom as the corner-stone of the great fabric reared by the wisdom of our fathers, and purchased,aye, comented by the bsrt blood of tho nation , anil with " equal and exact justice to all""' emblnsoned in char acters of living light upon its mnjeatic sp r as it rises towering to heaven, pleading as ii were, witb the Oo'd of Liberty, to dca'jastly and mercifully with his erring creatuies; to break the galling yoke of oppeasion ; to Lid the oppressed go free.and commanding all "to ' "remember those who are in bonds as bou-id with them ;" wi'h these wa say as the mate rial out of which ami upon which our G iv trnmei.t and the principles of our party are founded, it is not so easy as Nlr. Blanchard might'imagine, to endanger the stability of por government, or to cast aside as ft thing ■ of no value the great and iibcrty-loviug doc trines of the Republican party. Firm as the everlasting hills will stand the triumphant American Republican parly, and while it en dures tha suUjijiy of our government cannot he e rid an g ere 1 ,, the Union cannot be destroy ed, ali p.irM&ttt, weak-kneed uod traitorous considerations to, the contrary notwithstand ing. But, says Mr. Blanchn.rd, "the stability of nur Government is endangered:—the Union it no longer safe." And then calls upon men to reflect upon the momentous issues now presented, with a coo 1 , calm and delib erate judgement, ivc. Here we must ask the question, if the Union is endangered, how aod by whom has it been endangered ? llow could the Republican party have endangered the Union when it has never at any time bad the control of any. branch of t'e Federal Gov ernment? For more than thirty years the ... Locofoco party has held almost undisputed and unlimited sway to the General Govern ment. For the same number of jcars the Slave ocracy have controled the Democratic party, and led it on to dissolution and to (pin, and now the very mea who were loud-: est in their paeans of praise to the Democrat ic party, are the very men that are advocat ing secession, and therefore treason upon the floors of our National Congress, and in near ly half the States ot this great and mighty Republic. Who are the men who are stand ing up in the South for the Union, the Con stitution, and the enforcement of the Laws ? We answer, the good and 1 true men, almost without exception, who formerly acted and co-operated with the old conservative party of which Henry Clay was tbs great embodie meot. What does all this proye ? Simply this: that the leaders of the Democratic par ty, from President Buchanan down to the lowest menial in the North or South, who is yet willing to do his bidding, a-re now, and have been fur years, plotting treason against the Government—ready at a minutes warn ing to apply the toreh of eivil war to this fair fabric tie very moment that the people in their sovereign capacity should declare that tbay were rvo longer competent to control the helm of Suite. Rule or ruin has been the m >t'o of the Dean n atie leaders of this coun i try fur ti;<- past thirty years. 'This is history. I This we have frequently j reclaimed through our paper and fro u the stump. This great uutb we now desire that all the people sbo'd know. Hence our call for a Grand Rally of the Republicans and honest Democrats of Cen tre county, on Wednesday evening of the Jan. nary Court. While 1 ! are planted myself upon Jaclt soman pr -unds, and have repeatedly said that tho Union must and shall be preserved, though it cost me every drop of blood in my veins, I am unwilling to go into a doughface Union meeting with roaligners and traducors> and with hypocritical demagogues who can only speak of my party as the AVue&'Repub lican party, and of myself as a Black Re publican. Much as I love the Union, I can not consent to go into a meeting with the le ders of the Democratic party, who have by their adherence to that now defunct or ganization, aided by "their voice and their votes to bring upon the greatest and best Government God ever, gave to man, its pres ent humiliation and disgrace. I cannot, in short, cousent to take part in any meeting where I cannot defend my party and its prin ciples from the outrageous slanders and false hoods heaped upon it by soulless dema gogues both North and South. But. says Mr. Blanohard, "higher consid erations induce me, as Chairman of tbe County Executiva Committee, at tbis time, to protest against ths unauthorized call is sued from the Centre Democrat office," &c. Chairman of the Ciunty Committee, for sooth ! An unauthorized call for a meeting issued from the Democrat office ! As we said befoie, while we seek no quarrel with Mr. Blaocbard, and shall quarrel with DO man unless in self defence ws must potest against Mr. Blanchard usurping authority which he doss not possess. Mr. BlaDobard was Chair man of the County Committee in 1859. But the party is now without a Chairman, as the Convention which met last August adjourn ed wirhnut renewing the lease of Mr. Bianch ard's aathori'j. The Convention, we say, adjourned without appointing Mr. Blanchard Cbiirman, the motion to continue the old Committee never having been put. This be ing the ca-e, whence, wo ask, does Mr. Blanchard derive his authority ? But he gays again, " without denying the right of editors to call political meetings," &q. The great causa of complaint then, is not that we called the tapeting, but that we did not con sult Mr Bkochnrd. Now if this were true we would be very sorry to injure Mr. Blanch ard's feelings or pluck ono laurel from the cap of his fancied power and greatness. But we did, in as humble a manner, ill Our rough aid uncouth way, as we knew how, consult Mr. Blanchard in regard to calling a meet ing, ani ihat tvitbout receiving either his ap proval or disapprobation. We did, however, oonsult Gov. Curtiu, who said "by all means call the meeting, ths time has come when the people should understand the causes which have led to the-present political arisis." We did more. We consulted more than one hundred of the good and true men of our farty, all of whom advised us to call the mectng. . Authority or uo authority the meeting has been called, and if our life is spared it will be held. The oall to tbe Wide Awakes is but a newspaper article, in which ibesa no ble and indefatigable auxiliaries of the Re publican party were informed, that if they wished to come with their lamps trimed aod brightly burning they could do so in wel c ni->. Wide-A wakes, we still extend tbe invita'ion. We hope you wili come. But we are not fastidious. Come either with or with out your lamps, as you in your " cool, calm and deliberate" judgement may think best. We cannot for the life of us ses why tbe Dem ocrats should refuse to fight far the Union because tbe Wide-Awakes are for the Uc- linnest Democrats, by reference to the call fiest announced, you will s'6 that vou are most cordially invited. Wo believe the ma jority of those who nre still acting with the Democratic party in this county, are loyal to the U. ion and tbe Consti'utuin, and we further belieye that this very fao% when they learn tbat oil this trouble has l.ern precipi tated upon the country by their Senators, Cabinet officers, leadrrs and slave drivers of the South, for the purpose of ex'ending the area uf bu oian bondage, for their own per sonal aggrandizement, as well as to enable them to con inue to foroe upon the North and the whole country their ruinous FREE TRADE policy ; tbat they will renounceand denounce the Democratic organization as we have done, forever and that they will hereafter be found battling with us in favor of justice, liberty and the rights of Iran. Working men of all parties—Americans, Wide-Awakes! ye noble and true men of Centre, come out in your strength aod bear tbe lectures on the state of the Union and the caure? which led to the present political crisis. We have secured the Court House from the Commissioners, and have also in vited Edgar A. Cowan, onr new U- S. Sena tor, and Hon. David Wilmot to be present and address the meeting. So iQuch then for Mr. Blanchard's pronuoeiamente. EDITOR or THE DEMOCRAT : 1 Dear Sir .'—l see a call in the last issue of your paper for a Grand Republican Rally on Wednesday evening of the January Court. I also see a card in the Press from Mr. Blanohard, re monstrating against the mating—nweithc doss let the meeting go on. Jf the Chairman of the County Committee will not cull a meeting.in accordance witb the desire of our people we cannot.fielp it-. Eet me say here, we do not want any more doughface " Union Saving Heelings," nor anything that will be equivalent to an admission that our party or ganization is to back down from the Chicago Platform. Our party here, is of the opinion that the time for compromises is either past or not yet come. We cannot compromise with a threat of disunion hold over our heads. Be particular to have the meeting go on, on the basis of the Constitution and the Union.— It would be right and proper for the Wide- Awakes to attend ; but since a question has been raised lest their presence should pro duce any disaffection, perhaps we had better omit that feature of our meeting. Yours, &c., The above communication is from ooe of our staunch old party leaders, and was writ ten us as a private letter ; but since it con tains matters of public interest we lay it be fore our readers. Ths writer administers a severe rebuke to Mr. Blanchard for his quib bling, and seems to think there arc other men in Centre county who are members of the Republican party, and whose opinions are entitled to as much respect as the Chair man's. We are sorry Mr. Blanchard pub lished that foolish letter, as it was entirely uncalled for. and by doing so he has subjec ted himself to many misapprehensions among his friends. We would here say to all, that we believe Mr. Blanchard has at heart the success of our party as much as any man.— So far from having any desire to weaken and distract the party be really desires to strengthen and harmonize it. He is an hon est man, a good lawyer, but by no means a politician. We beg our friends, the WiJe- Awakes, to take no offence at his card, as he ment no disrespect to them. Had Mr. B anch erd come to U9 we would have heard all he had to say, and after carefully weighing his opinions, acted as we thought would best conduce to the success of our party. Again vte say, it is to be regretted that Mr. Blauch ard published bis card as it was iil-timed. We, however, will wage no quarrrel with tim for doing so, but leave him alone, be lieving that is the best way to humble a proud man. Like the South Carolinia re bellionists, we admire his pluclt, but dephre his policy. One whuld be led to suppose frum th 9 au thoritative tone of El. Blanchard's card in last weeks Press tbat he was the Republican party of Centre county. lie gravely tells us that we had no authority to call a meeting without o insulting his highness Lord chief Admiral, of the kid Glove Gentry. We con suited the people of Centre Co., and as they wanted a meeting we callecl it,-Mr. Blanchard to the contrary notwitb9taading. The Cen tre Democrat is the peoples and i ct the suple tool of a Bellefonte clique. It is free and independent and is riot to bo con troled by Ed; Blanchard, or any one else.— No man or set of mvD, can dictate to ue; we ore for the people, not the politicians. If some men had their own way.a poor man would never bold an office iu Centre C'>,— Our paper has ever beea the poor tr.a.,s friend and as such has been most liberally suppor ted by the people ; for this we feel thankful. When evr the people of Centre county want a meeting or anything else we will serve them, and let ha who dares, oppose the will of tbe masses. Here the people are sovereign and resting on tbo broad shoulders of the hardy SODS of toil, we defy opposition. Men of.Centre Co , you have a paper like your selves free and independent, a paper that ad vocates the election of poor men to office, and that dares at all times to reflect ycur wishes without fear favor or affection- It stands up manfully for you, and you must stand up for it. We call upon you now to come forward and sustain your "old organ" in the lu'ure, as you have in thi past. Let the meeting on the 30ih be tbe largest ever held in the county. Gen. Cameron's appointment to a seat in the Cabinet is bailed by every lover of the Union with joy, as indicative of the charac ter of the incoming Administration, as Gau. Cameron is known to be pre-eminently a na tional man, and no other appointment could at tho time have so greatly complimented the conservative old. Keystone ; in everything necessary to make a statesman, Gen. Came ron is unequalod, he is not even lacking in, that true zeal cf greatness, the euvy and ma lignant hatred of tnose who desire his fame, but lack the brains to emulate it. Gen. Cam eron will be a tower of strength to the new administration,aDd as a popular appointment would indeed be bard to equal. Since writing the above, a set of corrupt politicians, headed by two persons by tbe name of M'Clure and Mann, have been to see Mr. Lincoln, and endeavored to pursuade him to recall tbe appointment of Mr. Cam eron. What impression they left on the mind of tbe Piesident elect we do not know, but if Mr. Lincoln was as well acquainted with them as some people ef this State are, he would not have given the political adven turers a hearing. Under tbe present cir cumstances, there is some talk of Mr. Cam eron's declining tbe position tendered him. Tbis wo hope for the good of the oountry, and the welfare of the party in thraJScate.-he will nut do, but if the President elect, has changed sis mind in regard to the appointed, let him recall the appointment, and then th e people will know if Mr. Lia®>ln is really as C m as his friends claim bim to be. LATEST FROM THE SOUTH. CHARLESTON, Jan. 1G Nothing of importance has occurred or transpired here to-day. All the Southern Senators have retired from the Senate except Mr. Brown, of Miss., Jeff Davis and Yulee of Florida. All the Southern Sates will secede. j Gen. Scott is determined to enforce the laws of the Government. In Lor.isana the State Convention decided against secession, W, W. Bxotvx THCEI CEJVTRE DEMOCRAT. Liberty of the Press Gen- Cameron's Appointment. Gov- Curtin's Inauguration- The inauguration of Governor Cuftin was a graed affair. A crowd of not less than 20.000 people assembled to witness the pro ceedings. The military display was very fine. The Governor was drawn through the streets in a coach and four, and was vocifer ously cheered all along the rout. The im mense procession reached the Capitol at 12 o'olock, and Gov. Curtin proceeded to deliv er his Inaugural. Every available inch Of the immense Capitol grounds was appropri ated by the crowd, and hundreds remained qut side. There was a gtand display of fire works in the evening. The applause with which Gov. Curtin was greeted was unbounded, and never perhaps has the city of Harrisbury witnessed such a throng as was drawn together upon this oc casion. Quite a large number of ladies were pres ent, and were provided with seats upon the platform. After the conclusion of the cerimonies, the military were again formed, and escorted Gov. Curtin to bis quarters. The ceremonies occupied something less than an hour, but long after their conclusion the crowd lingered about the Capitol. Hon Ed Cowan Ed. Cowan is Senator in room of weak kneed Bigler. In our opinion he is the very man for the position. The Democrat was the first paDer in the State to nominate him for that place. The people of Centre county will remember a man that made a great speech in our town at tbe Grand Repub'ioan Rally last August. The new Senator is the same man. He is the first man that ever en tirely satisfied our people on the slavery question. Ilis masterly exposition of the peculiar institution made us hundreds of votes in the late cempalgn. Cowan was our man, and we are glad he succeeded. Wilmot must now take the t-hort terra aod then Penn sylvania will be properly represeatel. Our people will be delighted to bear of Cowan's success, though Wilmot was preferred by many. The Democracy Responsib'e for DTI'I Times. Why is it that in a period of plenty, times should be tight and mechanics and laboring men be throwed out of employment ? There is money in the country in abnndatce. The grain crop of the country bas been good, while that of Europe has been short. In deed, they have been, and are still obliged to buy ol us, remitting largely of their spe cie to pay us for our surplus grain. Apd yet trade is stagnant. Why, we ask again, is all this ? We will anwer. It is because the Democratic party have determined to produce a crisis in monetary affairs to pun ish the country for turning them out ol pow er, They have been in office so 1 ng that ■thev begin to feel that tbe government was theirs by right ; and rather than permit others to wield the power fbey have so long held and abused, they prefer to fee a disso~ lution of the Union-. And to aid in effecting this thev have so vilified and misrepresen ted tho R: publican party to the people of the South as to stir in them a spirit of bitter 'animosity atd rebellion to tb9 Administra tion of Lincoln. This has paralysed trade ■ and thrown thousand* nut of employment at a season when its effects are mi'St keenly felt. Had the Democratic leaders ot the North bepn honest and trutblul, aod had they lnyalty advocated the fulfillment of the will of the people as constitutiunally express ed at the bullot-bcx. this orisis never would have oocurred. L?t every mechanic aod laboring man take a note of these facto. A dav of reckoning will come. Then woe to tbe Democratic demagogues who have aided and abetted this disunion movement. Co lumbia Republican. The Feeling in the Free States- There is such a thing as " over shooting | the mark." This is the case with the 6eces ionists. They have thought to frighten and intimidate the North: hut they find that their course bas rather bad the tend'encv to arouse the masses of the people of the Free States. Indeed the spirit manifested by the secessionists and the weakness h'therto ex hibited by President Buchanan have awak ened the people of the North to the necessity of maint-aining the integrity of the Union at all hazards. Even in the city of New York, it is said that, at an hour's warning, one hundred thousand men would be ready to ge to Charleston to col'rct the revenues accor ding to the laws. And this is tbe case in most of the Northern Sta'es, The" people are loynl and patriotic. They ere in favor cf the Union and the enfo-cement of tbe laws.' Traitors and treason will Cod no quarter at their hands. Facts to he Remembered REMEMBER, tbat the Republicans have never yet had the control of a single branch of the Federal Givernmer.r. Whatever wrongs the South had ever suffered—if they have suffered auy—tbe Republicans are not responsible for. Stick a pin here. REMEMBER, that tho Loco-focos have had the general Government in their hands s'ead ily for more than T/iiity years'. They have had the engineeriniog of public agairs, and are fully responsible for what they have done. Stick another pin here. REMEMBER, that the Slave-holders have controlled the Democratic pvrty for tho past Thirty years. The very men who are the loudest for eeocssion are the vsry men who have really had the Federal Government uu der their thumbs. If they have beeu wrong ed they bave done it themselves. A STATUE MADE TO SPEAR —The statue of Geu. Jackson, before tbe President's house, was most curiously arnamented the other morning. The old pnti-Secessionist held in bis hand the stars and stripes, while the blue cockade was tied under the tail of the horse. Great indignation was felt by the seenders, and it is rumored tbat they will ask far an explanation. fgg* Gov, Hfeks, of Maryland, has pub lished u long address to the citizens of that State, giving his reaeons tor refusing to con vene an extra session of the legislature. The document abounds in Union sentiments. AH over the country, wherever they have a caDnon, the peopb are firing salutes in honor of the act of Major Anderson, in spiking the guns and evacuating Fort Moul trie, and thus heading off secession treason. figf If, says the Louisville Democrat, An derson is killed at Fort Moultrie, then the lrffe-blood of every Kentuckian will not be enough to wash out the stain and disgrace of seeiDg our brother die unaidod before our face. ggy It was rumered in Washington, on Wednesday, tbat the Cabinet was delibera ting upoD the propriety of having Senators Toombs, of Georgia, <*nd Wigfall, of Texas, arrested for high treason. Hope the runur may be true. Three shocks of on earthquake wsre Kat Lancaster, Pa., on Sunday oigbt each ompanied with a heavy peal of thunder. OPPOSED TO SECC3IION.-Ex-Governor Aiken of South Carolina, ths largest slaveholder in tbe State. for the Centre Democrat. Aggression and Secession MR. EDITOR : The continuous cry of ag gression that has been raised by Southern agaiust Northern States, seems not only to have imbued the South with the idea that they have been teachermsly dealt with, but many of the noble minds ot tha North have had their sympathies so far excited by the oft repeated cry, that they have, at last suc cumbed to the falsehood. * Believio:? that the best interest of each state would be best secured by a union of the whole under one government, the people by their representatives dralted and adopted the corstitution of these United States, as the basis of a national Government whose leg islative powers should be ve&ted in a Con gress, and Senate of the United States. In the development of the country under this Dew government, different .sections wre fcund to be adapted to different pursuits, and' Afferent interests soon begun to oall upon CoDgrtss for protection, acneungst which we may note the Cotton, Tobacco and other pro ducts of the South, which were promptly se cured by legislation without a single dissen ting vote from any northern state. As the mineral resources of tho nortif and its adoption to manufacture as well as agri culture begun to be understood, it was found necessary to ask Congress fur that protection from foreign competition which would enable us to employ our own labor, in the develop ment ot our mineral wealth and manufactu ring ioterests, the spirit in which this re quest was riceived by the Southern states is patent to the world; opposition little start of the most deadly hostility at once firtd the southern heart, and one state at least took initiatory steps for the dissolution ot the Con federady rather than see northern labor so protected as to enable H to compete with tho 6i'ave labor of tiie eontb ; and this same idea that the free labor of the north should not be allowed to compete either with the serf labor of the old world, or, the owned labor of the Southern states, has caused in them a steady and continued opposition to all pro tection for northern products until our mtu nfac'ories are ruined, and our labor has been dtiven to seek an outlet in the wilds of the west where they might leisonally expect that they would be allowed to tuild houses, and open homes for themselves in peace, but even n the wilderness owned labor must persecute their fttill, their houses most be burr t, their fa ins laid waste, their families bu c'eml, their laws trampled upoD, and a slave-eodc forced upon them at the point of the bayon?t- Again when tfce South asked Congress to protect their right in tbeir Degro's by passing a reudi ion fugitive slave law, no Northern Sta-e threatened to dissolve the Union, tho' by their State Constitutions, no coersion could b3 practised, except upon a fugitive from justice, aud consequently the law was an aggression on the constitutional rights of every lVeo state ; and even now a number of the Southern states are threatening to dis solve the Union, because among other tbiDgs 'cf which they complain they say that, the free States have passed laws forbiding kid napping and which prevents the South from stealing free negroes of the North, and mo king slaves of them in the cotton Holds of the South. In view of tbe alarming position assumed by South Carolina, would it be well for ous Si-na-ots and members of Cungrees from toe North, to put sackol&tb on their loms, and ropes on their heads, (or round their necks.) ar.d go to this cbivalric and warlike people, and say to them, "if you will only forgive us this time and stay iu Ibe Union, vou may 6teal evry frß6 negro iu the North, and we won't say a word, and if this is not enough, why there are our Orphan Asylums, you ra i empty tnem and 'take the occupants S uth and call them quadroons, there will be no danger for they havb no friends to in conven'ent inquiries; and rathsr than you should be put to inconvenience, if you are still too short of slaves, we will allow you to take the poor laborers of the North, such as may best suit you, until your cotton fields are amply supplied ; and so far as electing a President i 3 concerned, we acknowledge that we knew that, the South did not allow us to elect a man from one nf the Free States, no matter what his politics were, and we are soriy that we rebelled against your orders, and promise that we will di si no more, but always ask you who we shall vote for, if you will only stay in the Union and not secede." NEMO. The Democracy and the Encroachments ol Slavery. Seventy years ago the Democratic party drew aline arouod the States and said to tl.fi S aye I'iadsr : " Thus far you may go, but no further." ThU was tbe Jeffir<-on Pro viso. Forty years ago tliey tabbed cut a part of the line and said to the trader in "human cba'tles " You may go into the land South but net into the land North." Tbis was the Missouri compromise. A little over five years ago they rubbed out the rest of the line and said to him : 'Re leave it to the settlers to d-ecide whether you shall come in or not.,' This was the Ne braska bill. A little later they say to him ; "Go where you please witb your Tbe land is all yours. Tie National flag shall pn tret you aod the National Troops shall shoot down who ever resists jou." This is tbe Dred Scott decision. But this is not all. Now they say that everything should be made subservient to the Slave Power, and that if it is not they wili justify the destruction of the government.— This is the position of the men who engin eered the campaighn of the Breckinridge Democracy. What the Secession States Contribu'e. For the information of cur readers we bave made ont a list from the report of the Post General showing the receipts and ex penditures of five secession States in one De partment alone. Here it is v South Carolina—Receipts, $107,539 ; ex penditures, $319,068 ; deficit, !p211.523. Georgia—Receipts, $168,665 ; expendi tures, $358,180; deficit, $189,515. Florida—Receipts. $25 932; expenditures, $171,185 ; deficit, $145,253. Alabama— Receipts. $129,103 ; expendi tures, $393 920; deficit, $234,526. Missi sippi— Receipts, slOl 549; expeodi tim.s, $379,001 ; deficit $286,445. Total receipts in tbe fire States, $532 784; expenditures, $1,591,068: deficiency, $1,040, 281. There is not one of these States which pay as much revenue into the l'rcaeury on im portations, as it costs the Government to cel led it. "OLDBECK" SPUNKING UP. —Since the Se cessionists have been cuffing tbe President a little he has bristled up somewuat. He now says that he will see Lincoln inaugurated, and will ride in the same carriage with him to the White House on the fourth of March next. What will the Secession Democrats say to that? STILL RANTING. —The traitors in the cot ton States. Hemp will be in demand before the ides of March. ggy Scurvey ba already made its appear- j ance :n Kansas, superinduced by scantiness of food ; the physicians there dread an epid omic from the same cause.
