I should regard any concession in the fact of menace as the destruction of the Govern ment itself, antl a aonient on all hands that our sys tem shall be brought down to a level with the exiting disorganised state of affairs in Mexico.

G'HASI. 1 owe it to my if, I owe it to truth, I owe tt to he subject, to state thai no earthly power could in duce me to vote for a specific measure for the intro duction of Slavers/ ,\, r . it had not bejore existed, either South or North if hat line. Coming as Jdo from a Slave Stale, . it my solemn, deliberate, and well-matured de.,".i-.c'ion that no power- no earthly power—si cruel rie to vote for the pas sive introduction r f Slavery either south or nothr ef that line. Sir, while you reproach, and justly, too, our British oncestor* for the introduction '/ this institution upen the continent of America, tani, for one, unwilling ihal ths posterity o/ the pre ent inhabitant* off California and New Mexico thali reproach us for doing just u-hat we res proach Great Britain for doing to us. If the citizens of those lerritories choose to establish Slavery, lam for admitting them with si.ch provisions in their Constitutions ; but then, it teill be their own work, and not ours, and their posterity will have to reproach them, and not us, for forming Constitutions allowing the in stitution of Slavery to exist among them. [HENRY CLAY. No Local. The County Statement of Receipts and Ex penditures has aga'm crowded out our Local News- This is the last week we will pub. lisb it. Our next issue will contain the usu al amount of Local matter. See what They have Done. The Democratic party have been in power, and controlled the Government at least eixty •at of eeyenty two years. For the last twen ty years they have bad almost unlimited •way. wbile the nigger drivers of the South have dictated the policy of the party and forced upon it tho fauatical and Disunion dogmas and doctrines ofJuo. C. Calhoun. — By adopting these dogmas, and by departing from the teachings of the Fathers and the •trict letter ot the Constitution, tbey have aot only ruined their parly but have brought bankruptcy and disgrace upon the Govern ment. The Republican party must be iuno eent, for a party which is not in power can do BO harm. The Democratic party, and it alone, is responsible for all oar evils. It has destroyed—fearfully, probably for ever —the Union of the United States. It has, by the repeal of the Missouri Com promise line, and by its wicked efforts to en slave the free people of Kansas, broksD up all fraternal feeling and brotherly affection between a majority of the people North acd a majority of the pei pie South ; which, if not checked tbrought be merciful intarfereuce of Providence, in teaching these wicked leaders wisdom, will resder union hereafter undesi rable to both sections, and perhaps impossi ble. This glorious Union, established by the joint efforts of elaveholding and non-slave holding Statesmen, warriors and people, but whose love of Liberty and Justice, was so etroog as to prevent them from inserting into the Constitution the word Slave or Slavery, or tho idea that there can be properly in man, was sale and strong, up to the time that this Democratic party re-opened the agi tation of the negro question, and sought to base ingrafted into the Constitution that Slavery was naticnal, and Freedom section —that .Slavery should be proteoted in the Territories, and that a n*gro slave was prop erty in the same sense, a horse, a ship, or a railroad was property. By adhering to tho liberty-loving doctrines of our fathers, this nation beoame strong and powerful; it dem onstrated to a degree, that no other nation had ever approached, the power of tbe peo ple to govern themselves. But so soon as tbe leaders ef the Democratic party deserted these doctrines, and attempted to force uprn the free people or the North (be fanatical pro slavery and free-trade doctrines of John C. Calhoun, tbe boasted power, prosperity, glo ry and happiness of our people, and govern ment;, appear to have vanished away; but we hope not forever. They have, however, brought the people and the government to the very verge of destruction, from which, no party under the >ua can save i% and re store Union and Peace, but ths Republican party, aided and guided ty the wisdom and strong arm of the Almighty—the Omnicient. Omnipotent leader of the hosts of Freeuoin and the rights of man everywhere. As he conducted the Israelites through the Red Sea so will lie lead the It-publicans, in the glorious work of makiig Freedom tbe rule, and Slavery the exitpiion, in this glorious cocntry—the Loire ot the free.,, tbe asylum for tie oppressed, from every nation and ■people under the heavens : This Democratic party has estranged brothers from brothers, made enemies of friends, and has pu ; M>ned all the fountains from which our nation has gathered its greatness. And ah this w extend tbe curse of bumao bondage into all th£ Teiritories of this country: In complete detail, and by enfo.rciDg its free-trade dogroaß upon .us, .if has bee.n de structive of all the buoiuess interests of *>ur common country : It bas, materially rnd detrimentally, crip pled our commerce— beggared, but first rob bed, our national government—almost de stroyed the credit cf tho States—disrupted and prostrated tbe finances of tbe country, Btate and National, publio and private: In the midst cf plenty, by its free trade proclivitiee, and by refusing to carry out the first principle of true Democracy, to wit: the right of ths majority to rule, it has brought upon UP hard times to a degree to which our people have heretofore been strangers—the hupbandman and thß mechanic suffer equal ly from the pernicious influence of its false teachings—public and private, State and Na tional, confidence is destroyed—the laborer b'-gs for work, while lis children cry for bread, and there is none to relieve them.— When have times ever been so hard, and la bor so cheap and scarce, as under Ja9. Bu chanan's administration ? The farmer offers his wheat for sale, and, if he finds a merchant with money, ie offered a pitifully low price, a ruinously low price. It was not so when Gen. Harrison was Pres ident, or under the tariff of 1842, and it wi'l not be so ondcr President Lincoln, if he re mains true tc the rights of freedom and free white labor. The mechanic stands ready, with a strong arm and hearty will, to prosecute his art, but the snterprieing have no money to en large business or to carry out schemes cf im proveroent. Poor meohanics, how little these political leaders of the pro-slavery school care for them tbey are only "mud sills 1" To please the nabobs of the South, the Democratic party have legislated for the Degro aud his master until you, mechanics and laboring mea of Pennsylvania, are idle, if net worse 'bun idle. • The earth yields abundantly to the efforts of the the industrious men who till its sur face but the markets are prostrate and there are few to buy : Our manufactories are nearly all stopped for want of purchasers, and the merchant finds his goods a drug in th 9 market; The laborer demands employment but there is no work tor him ; or if, percbaooe, a job turns up, ruinously low prices only are offered. All business is in a state ef stagnation revolution and war, (forced upon the country by the " rule or ruiu" leaders of the Dem ocratic party) with all their horrors, stare us jn tbe face—tbe grim visage of dreadful want js seen iu the distance—destruction in every phase threatens to overwhelm us, and mad ness rules the h*ur because thia corrupt and wicked party bas been burled from power by an outraged, insulted and therefore indig nant people, whose yoice, spoken, as it were in thunder tones at the ballot box in favor of tree white labor, it is now unwilling to obey The Democrats of tbe South are iafatuated, but' Old Abe" will soon bring them to their senses. Fai mer, what do you get for yeur products? Mechanic and Laborer, why do you not pur sue your occupation, and where and what are your wages? Manufacturer why have you ceased ope atiuns, and Merchant wi e;e is your trade ? Democrat, as you call yourself—pro-slav ery agitator, as you are, why have you bro't all this upou our once happy and prosperous county ? You have, either directly or indi rectly, brought all this evil upou the country and upon free whi e labor simply because your leaders prefer Slave labor and seek to extend Slavery instead of freedom into the national territory. Y'our ablest and most patriotic statesmen, Gen. Lewis Cars, and o herslmwc to fame, turn with ghastly and horrified countenance from the evils yaur doctrines have produced. Not satisfied with ths ruin you have already wrought, you seek now to force upon the Republican party the unholy doctrines of the Breckinridge plat form—in the guise of the Franklin Guthrie Crittendeu amendments, thus turning a deaf ear to the will of the people as expressed on the 6th day of Noveber last—to tbe dis tress of the people you have so often betray ed, and to the cot.iilence of tbe people which you have so often abused. The leaders of this Democratic party in the guise of the above named compromise now wish to make tbe Republican parly odious by compelling it to carry out the vilest of their measures, for advocating, acd insisting upon which, the people justly and gloriously burled them from power. We tell you Democrats, the Republican leaders acd people will never submit to such an outrage, or suffer any such indignity. Democrats, agaiAwe ask you to look around you and.see what you have done, what your party lraa done. Seven Democratic States out of the Union rather than submit to the majority ? Th-v have not been wro' ged by tbe Government. Then nhy rebel againit it, and set at defiance its Laws ? Have we a Government or have we not ? This is the first question to settle. It has been weaken ed and almost irrepaiiably destroyed by the Democratic leaders. Will you still close your eyes to tba fact of history and vote with thai wicked aud unprincipled paity ? Or will you not rattier prefer the 11 publican partv, advocating as it does, the liberty-loving doc trines of Gen. WASHINGTON, JAFFERSON, MAD ISON, MONROE, JACKSON CLAY, WEBJTRS, and all tbe distinguished and patriotic men of all nations throughout the civilized world?— Honest Democrats of Centre county, of Penn sylvauia, we ask you to look again upon the ruin your party bas inflicted upon the coun try, re race .your steps and thus prove that you still love your nation—tbe whoie etidi. vided nation—the Union, the Constitution us our fathers framed it, and tire enforcement of the laws. The passage of the Tariff Bill will be hailed with joy. It is net all that its friends desired, but ie for specific duties, increasing tbe rates on iron, and is a decided movement in tl> right direction, much preferable to waiting -until Congress, which may not be as friendly aa the present. The Senate put a email duty on tea and coffee, which the House struck out. The New York city influence was so strong that the Senate insisted upon retaining the warehousing feature, which det rimental to our true interests. From first to last, tbe passage of this improved Tariff has beev resisted by the Slaveocracy en masse, and by almost the entire Democracy ! The arranging of tbe details was vary difficult, and caused the loss of three Republican votes in the House —but every Republican Sena tor voted for the bill on its final passage.— Which je.the Tariff parry f THEE C3a3Vril.3E DEMOCRAT. American Agriculturalist. We have leceived and examined the March number of that excellent paper, the Ameri can Agriculturalist. There are a great many Agricultural papers published in our Eastern and Western cities, some of wbioh are good and others entirely worthless, but we have yet to eee one which so fully meets the wants of the hard-working farmer, as the American Agriculturist. It contains a large cumber of articles teeming with useful information up on the subjects of field culture, gardening, stock raising, fruit growing, household man agement, descriptions with illustrations, of farming implements, and various other things interesting and useful. Nothing, however, gains admittance into its columns unless it communicates something, a know ledge of which, will be beneficial to the far mer. It never reccommends or "puffs" any farmiog implements or manures, the good ness of wbioh, is not known to the Editor It takes particular pains to expose all swin dles and humbugs, such, for instance, as the Rev. Dr. Wilson's gratuitous cure fof Con sumption, Lotteries which are never heard of after money is sent to them. Another most excellent feature of the Agriculturalist, is the free distribution of rare and valuable seeds for field and garden. Eveiy subscriber will get, if be wishes them, five packages of seeds free of cost wbioh, in some instances, are mors valuable than the subscription price, which is One Dollar. Cut it it* impossible, is so brief ft notice, to speak of all the merits of iLe Agriculturalist. The only way to know them is to subscribe for. end read it. Tne Editor, Mr. Orange Judd, is a practical farmer himself, and the Agriculturalist, which was established by him in 1842, when most farmers thought that "book farming" was worse than folly, has kept pace with the advancement of Agricul tural science. It is edited with ability and energy, such as is seldom found in journals of its class. The determination of Mr. Judd to aid ftDd enlighten the farming community as to the best and cheapest modes of produ cing the desired results of soil culture, is csrtainly praiseworthy and he ebould he pa tronized liberally by the farmers. Just such a Journal as the Agriculturalist should be in the hands of every farmer in fruitful Oid Centre, and lo them we reccommend it as tbe best Agricultural Journal ever seen by us. We have never yet heard it spoken of except in terms of the highest ccmmenda tion. It is published by ORANGE JCDD, 41 Park Row, New York City. Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet. We have as yet no positiye information with regard to tbe Cabinet. The struggle for place is terrific. Mr. Hates has been ap pointed Attorney General. Gideon Wells has been offered and accepted the Poet Mas ter Generalship. Tie Portfolio of the Navy is between Henry Winter Davis and Mont* gotuery Dlair. Mr. Cameron is strongly urged lor tbe Treasury, but the friends of Mr. Chase want that appointment and ask Mr. Cameron to take tbe Department of tbe Interior, or Secretary of War. Mr. Smith, we are iniormed, baa been offered tbe Secre taryship of War. Mr. Seward, will positive ly, be Secretary of Stats. The Cabinet will, iu all probability, stand as follows : Secretary oj Slate —Wo. 11. Seward, of New York. Secretary of the Treasury— Simon Camer on, of Pennsylvania. Secretary of the Interior —Salmon Chase, of Ohio. Secretary of the ffavy— 11. Winter Davis, of Maryland. Secretary of War —C. B. Smith, of Indi ana, Attorney General— Edward Bates, of Mis- souri. . Post Master General —Gideon Walls, of Connecticut. An Ej e Opener. Lord Palmerston gave tbe South the hard est bit in the Parliament of England the other day, that we have yet seen. A Peer made a speech deploring the Secession movement in America, and regretting the ef fect it would have upon tbe cotton trade with England. The crafty and far seeing Lord Palmerston, Englands' test Statesman, re plied to him, and among other things said, "lie hailed the Secession of the States in' America as the dawn of a new era in the cot ton trade. England would now turn her at tention to India and raise her own cotton." This language is prophetic. The plan is fea sible. England can raise her own cotton, and she wjll do it. She has heretofore been the principle pa ron of the South, and now, if she withdraws her patronage, where is the South to find a market for her cotton ? We fear that when it is too late to recede, our in fatuated brothers will discover the fatal mis take they have made. Secession will rnin them. God forgive them for they kcow not what they do. JBS?- The importation of foreign coal oil, under the new Tariff, will be almost impos sible. This faet is of interest to numbers of Pennsylvanians who have recently invested in the oil business. The provisions of the new Tariff impose a duty "on Kerorene oils, and all other coal oils, of ten cents per gal lon." Foreign producers, under these cir cumstances. will have to look elsewhere than to the United States for a market j ß@" Pennsylvania has been ealled upon to endorse U. S. papei to tho amount of nearly Three Millions of Dollars—it being the Na tional Surplus Revenue deposited with this State in 1836. Should the General Govern ment not redeem this, it will be so much ad ded to our State Debt to please and build up Slavery. Lincoln's Inauguration. Abraham Lincoln was safejy Inaugurated on Monday.. \V'e have bis Inaugural and will lay it before our readers soon. He is decidedly opposed to secession and says ha will retake the forts. M&* We call the attention of our readers to au article in another column headed, ' See what they have done," - and the attention of the Canton democrat in partioular. The New Tariff Bill.

The Peace Conference. WASHINGTON. Feb. 27. The Peaoe Conference has just passed Franklin's proposition, as follows : "In all the present Territory of the United States north of the parallel of 36 degrees 30 minutes of north latitude, involuntary servi tude, except as punishment of crime, is pro hibited. In all the present territory south ol that line the status of persons held to service or labor, as it now exists, shall not be chang ed. Nor shall any law be passed by Cong ress or the territorial legislature to hinder or prevent the taking of such persons from any of the States of this Union to said territory, nor to impair the rights arising from said re lation. But the same shall be svbjeclto judi cial cognizance in the Federal Courts, accor ding to the course of the common law. YY hen any territory north or south of said line, with such boundary as CoDgress may prescribe, shall contain a population equal to that re quired for a member of Congress, it shall, if its form of government be republican, be ad mitted into the. Union on an equal footing with the original States, with or without involuntary servitude, as the Constitution of such State may provide." The vote on the adoption of this plan of adjustment was ten yeas to eight nays. The New York Cuuomissioners did not vote. The other propositions reported by the committee were all passed, by votes ranging from eighteen to ten in favor of each. The close fight took place over the Franklin sub stitute for Guthrie's plan, and it was notcar ried without a hard struggle. There is great excitement oyer the result, and the work of the Conference is regarded as virtually ended. A Reward is Offered! Fcr the detection of any person counterfeit ing, imitating, or the vender of any such counterfeit or imitation of ECERiIAVE'S HOLLAND BITTERS. The genuine, high ly concentrated Holland Bitters is put up in half-pint bottles only, having the name of the proprietor, B. PAGE, JR., blown in them, and his signature around tho neck of each and every bottle. This delightful Aroma has beon received by Americans, with that favor wnich is only extended to really scientific preparations. — When we consider the marked success at tending its administration, in the most stub bom cases of Fever and Ague, Weakness of any kind, Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Acidity of the Stomach, Sick n*d Nervous Headache, Indigestion, Costiveness and Piles, together with the complete control it exercises over all Nervous, Rheumatic, and Neuralgic Af feotions, we cannot wonder at its popularity. Well may the invalid value this remedy, jggf "He remembered the forgotten " was beautifully said of Howard the philanthro pist. It also applies to every man who brings tho ameliorations, comforts and en joyments of life within the roach of persons and classes who are otherwise deprived of their advantages. Especially may it be said of him who laboriously seeks and finds new means of preserving health, "the poor man's capital and the rich man's power." We think this eulogium properly appliod to J. C. Aver, of Lowell, the renowned chemist of New England who, spurning tho trodden paths to fame, devotes his entire abilities and acquirements to the discovery of Nature's most effectual remedies for disease. When the bidden bleasitg has been revealed, he proceeds to supply it to all mankind alike, through our druggists, at such low prices that poor ar.d rich may alike enjoy its bene fits. — Journal and Enquirer, Portland, Me. THE TREASON OF TWIGGS. — were received at the War Department which established the truth of the atrocious treason of General Twiggs. There is no room left for doubt that he has been long engaged in the conspiracy which has placid in the hands of the enemies of the liberties of the nation the (orts and munitions of war at the South. He ordered the United States troops to march out of their barracks, and with great inconveniecca to themselves and dis comfort, to encamp outside tha town, while the State militia, who have fattened at the Government expense, marched in. To the honor of the United States officers and soldiers, (the chief traitor excepted.) be it said they refused to fraternize with the traitors, and marched out to the tune of "Yankee Doodle," with the stars and stripes flc ating over tbem, and with hearty cheers for tbeir flag aLd the Union. IMP .'RTANT—FORT SUMTER TO IJB ATTACK ED BY NIJHT, — The War Department has received important despatches from Major Anderson. The'gailant officer, in a letter to Secretary Holt, denies the truth of the re. port that Jefferson Davis had exchanged vis its with him. He has had no communica tion whatever with the President of the Con federated States. He is satisfied that Fort Sumter will be attacked, and he ean clearly discern with the naked eye the arrangements for the assault, which he believes will be at night, and will be of the most determined character. The fortification is now entirely compjeted, the reports to that effect before being untrue, l'be utmost ingenuity of him self and brother officers have been employed to strengthen every part and to provide means for resisting the attack, which, in his opinion, is certain to come. Mrs. Lincoln's Carriage. WASHINGTON, March 4 h, 1861 The vehicle arrived oil Friday, and on Sat urday Mrs. Lincoln and her sister took a ride in it. It is a very fine pipee of workman ship, having cost sl6oo in New York city.— It has all the modern conveniences, and is painted black, having but very little orna ment or silver work upon it. Charles Jared Ingersol is the man who gn.id "he would have been a Tory if he had lived in the devolution," and deemed the name no reproach. Accordingly, we find him aetive in the recent Breckinridge meeiing in Philadelphia, which, while feebly delaring for the Union, denounced its friends and apologized for its enemies 1 fligr- The Secessionists take the Federa Government's fortific itions by force, capture its revenue cutters by force, drive away its transport ships, seise its arsenals, arms and amunition by force, and then cry aloud about the atrociousness of the idea of the employ ment of Jorce between the Federal Govern ment and themselves ! The Baltimore Sun, a rabbid seces sion paper, openly confesses- that the sole purpose ol the South Carolina Rebellion was to break the Republican party into pieces, and that the failure of the BorderS'ave States to side with South Carolina and go out cf the Union has blown up, not the Republicans, hut tbo Cotton States. PARTIG SALUTE 9 JO MB. BUCHANAN.-— The Rifle company of the U. S. troops, with tbo Marine Band, marched to the White House 0 n Saturday afternoon to bid good bye to the President, who stood in front of his door as the troops marched by. A token of recog* nition was given by the millitary, but not a word was spoken by any one, it seeming more like a funeral than anything else. A crowd had gathered expecting a speech, but Mr, Buchanan had nothing to say, and his favorite Irishman pushed the crowd one side, way was made, and His Excellency passed in and the lock was turned. No one seemed to have a word of cheei for the old President and as the k6y was turned in the lock, an eld man who had been standing by the pillar, watching the whole movement, exclaimed, " humb," and with a look of disgust he turned bis back upon the White House. FaF* Th * " Farmer and Gardner," and the " American Bee Journal," for March, have been received. These standard publications are issued by A, M. SPANGLER & Co., 25 North Sixth Street, Philadelphia, at prices •which place them within reach of every Far mer and Apiarian. Both of them, together with a handsome Premium Book, are furnish ed at $1,50 per annum. This we believe to bs cheaper than any similar publications in the country, and ought to secure for thorn an immense circulation. Those who desire to see thorn can obtain specimen copies without charge, by addressing the publishers as above. | | fp | | SECESSION IN VIRGINIA. —A despatch sent to Richmond elicited the following reply '•Rest assured this convention will not vote Virginia out of the Union, notwithstanding the refueal of Congiess to accept the compro mise. It is well to know that the action of the Virgioia convention must in any event go to the people. They will surely give seces sion its quietus." Rsgr The Tallahassee Floridian says that one thousand Maynard lifks and appenda ges, with 40,00Q ball cartridges and 180,000 primers, and 4000 percussion muskets, have been received by that State. The rifles were purchased by the Governor in December last, and the Quartermaster-General has just re turned from business connected with their delivery and receipt. Cap The Knoxville Whig says that Mr. Mordecai, of Charleston, who recently gave SIO,OOO to South Carolina, cot long since visited New York, Philadelphia and Boston, and represented to the druggists with wbom he had had dealings, that he was insolvent, and so settled with them by ono half of their e'.aims against him. If this be true, the North is paying some of the expanses of •* cession.

Dr. Alexander Jones, of that infa mous sliest the New York Ileiald, confesses he informed the Charleston people that the Star of the West was on its way.
