Harrisburg, Jan. 24. 18 THE DUTY OP TIM • BOUM It relates to organization for the opening campaign. Let it be ptompt, th.:.roligh and so efficient. Ta organize in every election district is another, and not less important work. Let us see what work is to be done. 1 Whatever the unprincipled dema gogues of the opposition may decide, or trump up as isattes upon which tbe parties are to join in the approaching campaign,the true issue is this:2,S all the governmeneremain in the bard of its friends, of shall it pass into the hands of enemies? That is the ques tion; and every man who goes to the polls next October and November, and deposits his ballot, mast impel.- tionablytput in bieresponse to that se rious question. We may know b e . folehand that our unscrupulous opp - milts dare not gO - before the people on this naked question; for there is too keen a recollection of the great sacrifice of life and treasure made ne cessary by the misrule of this striving party to render the experiment a safe one to be made. The people recollect that the Democratic party controlled the government _Pr thirty years en ding in 1861, and that before the 4th' of March of that year, tenAtates bad more or less formally and' in fact re- 1 pudiated that Constitution, of the in violability of. which its organs and orators have now so much to say.— The pretext for this repudiation was the loss of power by the full and over whelming decision of the people.— The cause a it was the demoralization of the party by slavery, ambition and too much plunder. Long rule bad be gotten reckless administration of a high public trust. The then Presi dent now a weak and despised do tard, fumbled';over the Cdtetatntion for authority to rescue it from *trac tion. He found that its frameOhad. neglected to provid.,in so many*rds for the contingency that has arisen. - True,it declared itself supreme as law, i i and it bound him on his oakli to up hold and maintain it, and execute the laws framed in pursuance thereof.— But it did not declare that-a repudia tion of the compact by a State should be pufidown by force. The President searched long and diligently for the word "coercion," but it was not to be found in the instrument. He handed the instrument over to his plastic,At -1 teeney General, Jeremiah Black, and' that functionary sought high and low for the necessary word. It was not there. Therefore, there was no pow -ler granted by the constitution to coerce a State. So the evil work of disintegration went on, until Abra ham Lincoln delivered hie inaugural, and was installed President of a fam ilyt of States, of whicl .n o ffi cially refused allegiance. -Mr. Lin dupledg• ed his utmost effort to restore order and supremacy of the organic law.-- He pledged this iu the name of the party, which elected him. Just as this pledge was about.JO be redeemed toe fell by the hand of an assassin.- 4C drunken traitor, by one of those unaccountable accidents which afflict the hest ordered families sometimes, dropped into the dead patriot's place. But the pledge of Lincoln must be redeemed by the party which honor ed him in life and mouirti him in death. We know that it is an often re peatcd story, but we must repeat it again and again, and so long as re petition is made necessary by the os tentatious hypocrisy et 9or °pp,. nonta. Dia the DemOcratic party rally to the support of the Constitutio4 when the patriot Lincoln appealed from the imbecility of Buchanan .and tjte villainy of Black -to the common sense of the people? None have for- gotten how that .appeal was met by the party which now rallies around , Andrew Johnson. None will ever' while reason endures, how the lead. era of the party 'denounced the prow>. sition to meetlorce with force as de structive of the Constitution which ten States had even then repudiated. None will ever forget how, later in the atraggle,Democratic judges ruled the currency of the country, made necessary by the stress of war, as so much waste paper. None will forget bow the Demo cratic orators and editors counseled the people not to send the nation the money to carry on the war and to to 7.30'e and 5.20's as' security for its repayment. Nor will any one forget how these orators and editors Coun seled: 'Use:tips from the army and siiawor ths draft ; and esigt edliiiinarVall New., ta resist the Frocks* Ifsirstisi, This is $ brio( stsninariat . *-Isessares issaitstad Elsa , . .

The Foreign Affairs Committee has re ported. through their chairman, Gen. Banks a bill for the protection of the rights of American citizens in foreign conntries.

Grant not to recognize any orders coming from Mr. Stanton as Secretary of War, laid before Congress on Tuesday last, pqrgrpurce of q resolution of the House, bas excited very general interest. The at tempt of the President to place Gen. Grant in the attitude of having disobeyed.the law hits proved a failure, , The General talks as he 110ta, the "fight it opt on this line " quality which so predominates in his com position, is manifested in every sentanoe of his communications to the President.

The necessity for erecting anothei'Lttna tic Hospital in the State is . becoming more pressing as each year rolls 'by. From the report of the Superintendent of the Asylum at Harrisbnrg, it appears that at the open ing of the New year there 'were three hun dred and forty insane prmons-1135 males and 165 females—in that. institution. Dr. Cumin, the Superintendent, remarks that "it is earnestly to be hoped that the Legis lature will see the wisdom, the gropriety, 'and`the nechssity of making, promptly, the most. ample provision for the largo number of insane who' claim the fostering care of the Commonwealth, and who, more than any other class; need that 'care and treat ment which are due to the most Mllicted class of her ,citizens." The seatiOn of coun try in. which Bradford count" is' situated should make an effort to secure the location there 'of the Asylum that must be built within a very few years.
