Some few years since, when Mr. • Wilmot at.
Cached the Jefferson ordinance testes Two Million
Bill, it passed the House of Representatives by a
decided majority, and would have been a law of
the land but for the protracted diaccssion in the
Senate, which consumed the few remaining hours
of the session, and Congress expired by late, with
out coming to a vote upon the question. Then
Southern members. quietly sat in their seats and saw
the Wilmot Proviso likely to be extended.to the
territory to be acquired as an indemnity from Mex
ico. There were no traitor. shouts of Disunion ;„
no calculations about the value of the Union to the
South; no threats of separation. The South-was
prepared to submit to its enactment ; peaceably to
suffer the Ordinance of Liberty to be extended over
the territory which has since been acquired by con
qttest.
How was it in the North?
_The voice of mil
lions of Freemen spoke out in approbation of the
. principle of justice and humanity which escludel
the blighting mildew of Slavery. State after State
' placed themselves in line, until the phalanx of
Northern Commonwealths was complete. Penn.
sylvania was not lacking in patriotism. Remem
bering that almost the first act ^f her infancy, in
gratitude for the Freedom she enjnyed, was to
adopt measures to clean lersellor the dark stain—
she unanimously. through her Legislature, suatlin.
ed the course of the mover of the Proviso. Never
was public.sentiment more strongly and plainly ex
pressed. There was no chance to misinterpret or
misunderstand it.
Southern leaders, who had looked upon the war
as a means by which to extend the institution of
Slavery, and rivet it upon this Nation, had time,
during the recess of Congress, to recover from
their position, and to organize measures to 'defeat
the expressed will of the Freemen_ of the Republic.
Tice machinery ot party was first put to work
Itleetnags and Conventions were holden, not then
to consider measures to separate the Confederacy,
but to aflect-tho action of the Democratic party in
nominating a candidate for the Presidency. They
knew well the influence that Slaveholdets exer
cised through their concentration ot interests and
unity of action. Several Southern States set up a
new test of Democracy—interpolated a new doc
trine into the time-honored creed of the party
that the candidate must be pledged to veto the
Wilmot Proviso or he would not . receive their sup
port. Men who looked with longing eyes upon
the-White ileum, one by one bowed submissively
to the requirements of Slavery._ From that time
forth, the influence of all these write:tants has been
brought to bear to stifle and beat down the free ex
pression of sentiment in the North. A Southern
Administration--elected by the zealous eflorts of
the er tire Democracy—took upon itself to corrupt,
through its immense and dangerous parsonage, the
men and press of the North. That it succeeded,
' most effectually, to their shame be it spoken
Pensioned and hireling prints have abused and
misrepresented the authors and intentions of the
Ordinance of Liberty. They have anathemized
and stigmatized as " Abolition," that which his no
more to do with Abolitionists than the Dec.lamtiOn
of independence. Perseveringly, the most strenu
ous efforts have -been put for:h to' debase public
sentiment, to answer the ends of selfish and design
ing men. Forgetting that retribution is sure to
overtake the politically wicked, statesmen have en
deavored to give a false coloring to the public
voice to feather their own ambitious purposes.—
Hanging upon the skirts of these Presidential ex
linearity, are a thousand greedy leeches, eager for
a suck at the public treasury, who see their object
aceoetplished only through the stemma of their
great leaders. They are readyle his beck or word,
to stultify themselves, or as far as in their power.

Mr. Packer has presented a memorial asking the
annexation of part of Bradford County, to Sulli

A report signed by Mr. lnrael Painter, on behalf

The stock for a Telegraph from this place to Wa•

line, and probably be in operation early in
the Ppriusg. It connects, at Waverly, with the New
York and Erie Line, and is constructed udder the
direction of Mr. T. F. Allen.
Below, in this State, Telegraphic Lines have
been extended into nearly every town, forming a
rapid and convenient method of communication.
We see in an exchange paper, a stoteruent of the
profits of some of these lines. The receipts at
;goon average about 8150 per month ; at Allen
town nearly that amount; at Bethlehem the Com
pany nett the interest of 82,500 per annum above
all expenses. The line was not completed to
Mauch Chunk until after the navigation had closed,
yet the receipts have been sufficient to indicate
that that will be the most profitable station on the
line.
