.7:47-A correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Port, writing from llarrisb.urg, iu relation
to - the Republican• Senatorial caucus for
Senator, says :
"The result'of the caucus being an,
-nounced to David, it is said the uncover
ing of the army in Flanders was nothing
compared to the adjectives indulged in
' by him, and that, altogether, his remarks
in -relation to the matter were decidedly
more emphatic than elegant" .
Those who understand Wilmot's pro
fane habits will at once know -that this
means that lie "swore like, a pirate." •
rafr Husoax.—There were Over 1000
appliCants- for some ten offices itr Gov.
Curtin!s gift, in Philadelphia; and a simi.
!at greed is exhibited elsewhere ! This
reminds us of the " wild hunt after office,"
which his party . denounced When organ
,
- The Montrose Republican; speaking
of Cowan's election as U. S. Senator, says :
" He has had little experience in public
affairs, and it is difficult 'to conceive on
what principle our, Harrisburg Solons
chose him before a man of the talents and
experience of Judge Wilmot." -
_ That. man is rather dull to whom ,suffi
cient reasons are notapparent why Wil
mot
_was not chosen; but if asked what
Principle dictated the choice of the ' , party
for Senator it would be much harder to
tell thin' when it chine Cameron. He had
money to pay for vote*—that was under'-
stood to be the principal reason-; but
whether Simon chiise Cowan as a fit tool
for his purpose, is not developed. -1

an excellent: selection."
c*.
It will be remembered- that 3 1 Ir. Davis
holds a seat in Congress by virtue of the
power of the -gangs of" shoulder-hitters,"
"blood-tubs," and - other organizations of
Baltimore, who make a practice of shoot
ing, stabbing; and driving from the - polls
- those who refuse to, vote their Know
-Nothing ticket. So unparaleled are their
outrages that the honest cil
izens are com
pelled to refrain from voting, in some of
the wards, unless they - are willing to risk
their lives for a vote. This man, holding
a certificate saturated with human blood,
is, perhaps, "an excellent selection" for a
Republican Cabinet officer.
rgirlt . will be particularly noticed that,
although Gov. Curtin opens his address
by proposing to givia °frank declaration
of principles to be pursued during his (Ali
. cis! term,r he dodges the very important
question of the intention to further rob
the State Treasury by the agency of the
Pennsylvania, and Sunbury and - Erie Rail
road Companies. .This is too important
a matter to_be ignored; and if he had
omitted some of his glittering generalities,
and. said a. word upon this - subject; it
would have given satisfaction. His si- -
kale confirms the belief that he is in the
ring with the:stealers ; -and his idea of a
moderate use of the veto power, and his
inordinate fondness for corporations, indi
cate very clearly that any mammoth
scheme of plunder - which can be beught
through the Legiqlature`will receive his
cordial approval.
His denial that the Republicans have
ever expressed anyfinkind feeling
. :towards
the South, is a .falsebood that would do
fora small-beer politician, but is intolera
ble in the Governor of the State. Whitt
incomprehensible stupidity!

CRirTile Republicans . boast that by al
recount of votes in certain - ballot boxes'
in Philadelphia, they can make it
not.
that Butler, a Republican, and not Wm..

..au
thority that - the ballot-boxes had , been -
kept charge oh)y - the p a rty in a - way to
give them a chance to make • them show
just what they might want to gain the end
that was sought through theVrand of their
man Byerlyi-who is in the' State Prison
for - forging returns. At; a meeting to
open and recount the votes several boxes
were produced which were not marled
with the number of the precinct to which
they belonged, and a portion of those ac ;
tually opened may have contained th 6
votes of citizens of another ward, as tvi-_
deuce to identify them was not properly
required. By this system of fraud, Hen
ry 'Sherwood might be counted in as the
Congressman front this district—if his
friends were Republicans. ' The forger,
Byerly, has a Iyhole party to strive for .
the object for which he peepi — through

Gov. CUrtin's Inaugural Address
• Having been entrusted by the people - of.
Pennsylvania with the administration of
the executive department of the ffoyern
ment for the-next three - years, and having
taken a solemn oath of fidelity to the COn
stitutions of the U. S., and Pa., he, expres
ses his gratitude for-thehonor conferred.
Deeplyimpressed with the responsibilities
of the station, he. proposes to fulfil them
faithfully. Although selfish caution Wo'd
indicate silence as the safest'course, yet he
- Oinks duty demands a frank. declaration
of the principles to be adopted, and poli6y.
to be pursued duringhis official term. He
pledge: himself to maintain the fundamen
tal:principle of self-government from all
encroachments. Our common school sys
tem meets his hearty approbation, and he
trusts that its growing wants- will be libe
rally provided for by the legislature. He
advises that the. Farmers High School be
aided liberally.' The late sale of the pub
lic works is approved, and a rigid economy
that shall finally cancel the State- debt is
proMised. Thopardoning power will be
exercised with great care;and public notice
should be gig en of all applications. . He is
strongly in favor of general laws favoring
corporations. He will use the veto power
moderately ; desiring that other branches
of the government shall bear a full share
of responsibility.
The mutual estrangement in wNch the.
different sections of the country have. been
placed .seriously weakened commercial
credit, and interrupted trade ;- but as we
have the elements of prosperity among us,
he -trusts the Assembly will meet the crisis
in a generous spirit—which probably isto
legalize the Suspension of specie payment
by the banks. He denies the right or ne
cessity of secession ; speaks highly Of Mr.
Lincoln ; and coolly, (bnt falsely), Says :
"NO sentiments but . those of kindness s and
conciliation: have been expressed or entertained
(towards the ,SoCelli).-by the constitutional ma
jority-which elected him [Lincoln]." .
He repeatS his opinion that any law , on
our statute book which conflicts with or
hinders the execution of any federal law;
or any that may, by_ implication, even,, be
subject to reasonable - objections, should
,be repealed. • He.expre4sess himself very
strongly in favor of protectiOn,.and claims
his party triumph to have been mainly a.
high tariff•victory! He suggests that it
is our duty to.join the otherAitates in any
honorable measures of concfliation. He
.eloies by invoking. - Divine grace upon him
self, the state and nation Tiifomises to do
his utmost to promote the general welfaTe.

present poSition:
" Stsveholders are a nuisance." 7 " •
It is our iinporative business to: abate

"We believe that thieves - are, as a gen- ;
eral rule,jess amenable to the moral 'law
than Slaveheadors."'• - : • . '
SlavehelderS are more criminal than
common murderers.",
" Slayeholders sad slavetraddrs are as a
general thing unfit to occupy any honors

"It is our honest convietion•that all-the •
prti-slavery siaveholders, who are, alone
responsible for the continuance, of the
baneful institution among us, deserve to,
be at once reduend t ,to a paralel with the
-basest criminals Ahat lie' fettered within
. the&ells of our publiaprisons.
"Were it possible:that the whole num

-gathered together and-transferred into
four equal gangs of licensed robbers,
thieves, ruffians and murderers, society,
we feel assured, would suffer less from.
their attroeities than it does no*."
"So it seems that the total number of
actual slave owners, In - eluding their entire
crew of etinginglickspittles,agailist whont
we have to contend is 347,525. Against
this army for the defence and propagation
of slavery, we think it will • be an easy
matter—independent of the negroes,who,
in nine cases ont'orten would be delighted
with an opportunity to cut their niasters'
throats, and without accepting a single
recruit from either of the free states,.
England, France, or Germany, to Muster
One at least three times as large, and far
more respectable, for its titter exam-.

"But we are wedded to one •purpose',.
from which no earthly power can eKer
vorce us; we are determined to
,abolish
slavery at all hazards—in detiadce -of all
opposition of whatever nature, which it is
possible for slavocrats to bring-.against us.
Of this they may take due notice and

what all men ought to strive for—and it
is:clear to our mind that a. large majority
are not prepared for thin—and the practi
cal question is this :—Shall we politically
attempt what will certainly involve us in
defeatnud . thilure? Or shall we not ra
ther ,attempt that which a majority are
ripe - fOr, and tints by our consequent tri
umph, invite that majority to go further?
Shall we insist ,on having, all the possible
e g gs now, or be content to await their
appearance- day- by day? The latter seems
,to us the only rational, sensible course."
Nullification Difficulties of 1833..
The politicians who are opposed to a
eompromise of OM present sciltiofi al diffi
en It y arc: constantly ren,ring to the crisis
of South Carolina nullifleation of 1832,
:which they tell us, was put down by ,force
by the Government* of General Jackson.
`Without, in-the connection, referring to
the widely different state of our political
affairs now front what they were then, it
is sulliciinit to say that that dilliculty was
settled not . by coercion,. but by a com
promise. South Carolina demanded a •re
dress of grievances by the repeal or modi
fication of the tariff of 1828, which bore
heavily upon bet industry. It. was on'
this issue that She made preparations for
secession from the Union. In the height
of the (litliettlty,,Mr. Clay introduced his
TaritlComproniNe Bill, which pliviated
the objections of South Carolina to the
Black Taritrof 1828. The bill passed, and
theerisis was averted. The politicians of
that day; such as General Jackson . and
Mr. Clay were for compromise between,
the State and the General.Goveriiment, -
and the compromise was made. Our
troubles now will have to be settled in the
same way, or not settled at all.. • -
:74.27 Gitr.mmy AS A PriornET.-LSome
people think' Greeley a Wondrously 'wise .
man, a sagacious politician, &c. Here issl
an evidence of it. The followit , is an ex
tract from the:Tribune in October last:—
"It'will be pleasant and instructive to
see what a quieting effect, like that sif oil
poured upon the waters, the election -of
Lincoln have upon - the agitation just
now of the political element. They (the
Southern people) have not the .slightest
intention of giving any practical effect to
those threats of secession or forcible resis
twice to tlm inauguration and administra-
thin of Lincoln, out of which some of our
city papers- are striving to create a panic.
The, election over,, they will hasten to
shake °fff;t suspicion fatal to,; all their
fu
titre projects. The avowed disunionists
will sink into a little - faction about as nu : -
, merous. and influential as our Garrison
Abolitionists, while The 'great. bulk oldie
*Ahern politicians will be itlo busy in
I looking forward 'to new combinations;'
and in schemes` for re-establishing their
lost influence at the North, to Jiave any
time or 'thoughts to spare for disunion
projects. After the storm we sha'l have
