Jackson's Farewell Adams&
We are indebted to Senator Tureen for
a pamphlet copy of Gen. Jackson's Fare
well Address and Proclamation ; and find
ing so much good Democratic doctrine,
,we concluded to print on outside page,
some quotations upon such topic& as
ought especially to be brought to public
attention at this- crisis. Old Hickory's
argument for the perpetuity of Tars UN
roN ; against sentional parties; against
intermeddling kith internal affairs of
other States ;= flooding the coun
try with an utional paper cur
rency ; and against overstepping the lim
its of Constitutional power, are notemor
thy,,and should , be read and considered by
all. His arguments and warnings against
the policy of the present party in power,
could Rot have been much more applica
ble if written last week, instead of 27
years ago. In fact he seems to have
looked forward and discovered the Lin
coin
party, before writing his Farewell
Address ;- as also did Washington, from
whom he quotes.
Read the extracts on first page atten
tively.
Jin Xicitement In Clangess.
During the last ten days there has been
tat 4 excitement and sharp debate in
Congress, growing out of remarks made
in debate. Mr. Long, of Ohio, in the
contse of s speech ogthe Bth, said :
" I now believe that there are but two
alternafirea—either the acknowledgment
of the South •aa,an independent nation, or
their munplete subjugation and eztermiwstion
as a people. Of these alternatives I prefer
the former."
The next day, Speaker Colfax offered a
resolution to expel Mr. Long, alleging
that he had favored the recognition of the
Southern Confederacy. A spicy debate
followed, in the course of which the abo
lition members were reminded that sever
al of their own party, both in and out of
Congress, and also the New York Tri
bane, bad advocated doctrine more akin
to "secession" than this, and had even ar
gued in favor of separation and disunion.
Fernando Wood read from Long's speech,
and produced the original manuscript, to
show that Colfax's resolution was untrue
with regard to the words and sentiments
spoken ; and added that he endorsed what
Long DID say.
During the debate, Mr. Harris, of Ma
ryland, who appears to be a secessionist,
used words reported as follows:
"The South asked you to let them live
in peace. But no; you said you would
bring them into subjection. That is not
done yet; and God Almighty grant that
it never may be. I hope that yon will nev
er subjugate the poutb."
This fanatical declaratien drew out a
resolution to expel Harris,. which failed
by a rote of 81 to 58—nnt twathirda A
resolution to censure, which declared him
"an unworthy member of this Hones,"
was then passed, 92 to 18.
The resolution to expel Long was post
pono- for further consideration, and was
debited at great length. In the mean
tiin,e it was assailed in so vigorous a nun
nir.b,y4e respeetaide

proper subject for free discussien,cll
- we give the South independence, or
proceed to their "complete subjugation
and extermination as a 'people;" Which
means to kill , ill the men, women and
children in a ghren territory. If Colfax
did not like 'tepee conclusion as to the
acceptance of fancied alternatives, he had
a right to make speech against it ; or if
he mast resort to a preamble and resoln
tion be only had the right to offer one to
&pprove or *oedema the opinion, and
might with propriety have made the reso
lution-read substantially as follows :
Resolved, That we prefer the alternative
of the complete subjugation and exterm
ination of the South as a people—tliatis,
the killing of all the inhsthitsats without
regard to age or sex.
Upon this a test vote could have been
taken—if the House were disposed to ad
mit that any each alternatives were pre.
sented. Bat we presume that the House
would have denied the soundness of the
premises and conclusion, and tabled the
whole matter; and thus exposed the folly
of Colfax'e whole proceeding.
The words used by Harris are very dif
ferent. His secession notions agree with
those of Greeley, and Conway and other
abolition Congressmen ; and the words
resemble those used by Corwin and sev
eral others of Mr. Lincoln's friends during
the Mexican war—and Abe's general
views agreed with theirs then, which was
about the time he made his famous or in
famous secession speech in Congress. Har
ris' remarks were uncalled for, disgrace
ful in substance, wicked in sentiment, and
utterly indefensible, if he means that the
Rebels shall not be compelled to submit
to the laws ; yet, unless they were made
in a disovderly , manner, he could not be
censured or expelled, under the Rules of
the House. His dilniaionism is subject to
the same reception as was that of the pres
ent great lights of Lincoln's administra.
tion 7 Secretaries Chase and Seward, and
Senator Hale, when they advocated a dis
solution of the Union in their seats in the
Senate.
Mr. Long stated that he spoke only his
own individual opinion, and know that he
differed from the Democratic members;
and none but F. Wood endorsed his " al
ternative idea. its for Harris, 'we be
lieve no man in the House endorses him , ;
and the attempt to hold those -who voted
against his expulsion, &0., responsible for
his views is altogether wrong; for the is
sue was : Do the Rules of the House ad
mit expulsion or censure-? and not wheth•
er the members endorsed his speech.
- The Reoolutiox- to Expel Ex. Long.
Well, Mr. Colfax has withdrawn his ex
pelling resolutiOn, and 'accepted a milder
one as a substitute. His original attempt
completely miscarried. We trust its fate
will be a warning for all time against any
other such effort in an American Con
gress. ,'
The resolution of censure, as passed by
a scant majority, was but a mere exped
ient to save appearances while backing
out of a disgraceful position. But to our
mind, the expedient wawa very unworthy
one. If the Haase had no right to expel,
it had no right to censure. Both are pen
alties, the only difference being in their
grade, and both:impair the freedom; of de
bate, though in different degrees. We
deny the right to infringe that freedom in
any degree. The security of a Represen
tativem the decorous utterance of his con
victions is an absolute inviolability ; and
his associates '4• , bave no more right to
stigmatize him on the record fur so doing,
than to expel him. The proper vote to
censure, as the vote to expel, belongs,
only to " disorderly behav ior." Harris
used insulting language to the House,
and for that justly received censure: No
body pretends, that Long's language was
disrespeetful, whatever may be thought of
hes dectnae.—N. F. Times, [Republican.

The old story about his laying in the

could have had their way, they would
have had this rebellion pat down before

the soldiers about here are Democrats,—
and are doing all in their power to ficisb
this rebellion. Generals Grant and Meade
I think-will work together and if they are
not dictated to by the red tape officials,
will finish it before September next.
Passion and the love of the Negro, be.
gin to among the soldiers ; the most
of them begin to sea they have in a meas
ure been fooled by listening to evil advi
sera, and the farce is played out. McClellan
or Fremont would have finished this war
before this if they could have kept their
positions; but the idol of the abolitionists
affection had not been secured, and so the
war has been prolonged. I entertain a
strong hope of having this dirty business
finished this season ; but if it is not, we'll
do it next year, for then we are going to
have McCLELLAN for our Chief, and he
can just knock the spots off the iohnnys.
My friend is veryobserving about matters
out of the army, why don't helet the peo
ple know how things are going on in the
army. For instance, , the Bands he spoke
about which are only entitled to eleven
dollars per month, are getting thirteen,
and potting more duty upon us. There
are two days in particular-that

I think if the men that are on unnecessary
duty were in their places, the last 200,000
men would not be required ; but I see no
prospect of-better things just now.

MP-EDITOR: I desire to inform you and
your readers that the old 9th Cavalry is
getting ready to come home as veterans,
having reenhsted for three years more, or
for the war. We are about 400 strong,
now; when we came out, we were 1200.
There are ten or twelve from Susq'a Co.
wha'have reenlisted, and five or six who
have not. Our regiment participated in
the campaigns in Middle Tennessee, last
Summer and Fall, and we were at Chick
amauga, and in the East Tennessee cam
paign where we lost several good officers
and many men. We start for home
in a few days.
I remain, dtc., N. L. HOWE,

The editor of the N. York Tribune
says that the question of the intermarriage
of the white and black races is one that
must be considered well and decided on
impassionately. If that editor shall ever
fin 4 himself a gay and dashing widower,
we "hope that he will take as much time
as he pleases to consider dispassionately,
that is without passion, whether he will
marry a nigger or not. But we appro.
bend that passion will get the better hand
of him and incline him to the nigger.—

,The Committee is charged with the fol
lowing duty, to wit :
Ist. To obtain the contribution of "one
day's labor," or earnings, from every arti
san and laborer, foreman, operative and
employee; president, cashier, teller and
clerk of every incorporated and unincor
porated company, railroad and express
company, employing firm, bank,-manufac
tory, iron works, oil works, mill, mine and

. private banker

er finisher and artist ; publisher, printer
and mechanic ; from every government
officer, contractor and employee ; grocer,
butcher, baker and dealer; farmer, horti
culturist and producer ; from every man
tes maker, milliner and female operative;
every individual engaged in turning the
soil, tending the loom, or in any way earn
ing a livelihood, or building a fortune
within the States of Pennsylvania New
Jersey and Delaware.
2nd. To obtain the contribution of one
- day's " Revenue," from all the great em
ploying establishments, firms, corpora
tions, companies, railrOads and works.
3d. To obtain the contribution of one
day's income from every retired person,
and person of fortune—male and female
—living upon their means, and from all
clergymen, lawyers, physicians, dentists,
editors, authors and professors; all other
persons engaged in the learned or other
professions:
Much of this work must bo performed
by the personal influence and efforts Of la
dies and gentlemen associated with the
Committee in carrying out this plan,
The Committee feel - the responsibility
of the work they have undertaken, which,
to be succeilsful, will require a very per
fest . ramification of their plan, and they
therefore dill upon WC earnest -pcupte, to
assemble themselves together in every
town. township, and county, and form or
ganizations of ladies and gentlemen to co
operate with them in this work and labor
of love. In the manufacturing counties,
the coal and oil regions, and in the agricul
tural districts—especially, let there be or
ganizations in the large towns, so that the
young people may have an opportunity
thus to render assistance to their relatives
and flie'nds fighting the battles of their
country in the armies the nation.
The work of this Committee may be
prosecuted where no effort can be made
for the Fair, as in the mines of the coal
regions. day's earning pf the miners,
and a day's product of the mines, can be
obtained, where no portable article could
be procured for transportation. Indeed,
there is no part or section of these States
where the day's labor may not be obtained
if organizations can be formed to reach
them.
The Committee cannot close without
urging -upon all proprietors of establish
ments, the duty of taking prompt and en
ergetic action to secure the benefit of the
day of labor from all within their control.
The Committee deem it unnecessary to
do more, than thus to present the subj ect
.
to the three States named. In the com ing
campaigns of our armies, the labors of the
"Sanitary Commission" will be greatly
augmented. By the first of Jane 700,006
men—one of the largest armies of mod
ern times—will be operating in the field.
So large a force, scattered over regions to
which the men are unacclimated, must ne
cessarily carry along with it a large
amount of sickness, suffering and death,
to say nothing of the horrors of the battle
field.
These sufferings, it is our bounden du
ty, as melt and Christians, to relieve. A
great and enlightened people, enjoying
the blessings of a government of their
own making, cannot refuse assistance to
men suffenng to maintain its authority,
and we will not believe that the " Great
Central Fair," drawing its producte from
the three States of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware, ISO affluent in all
mineral, agricultural and industrial wealth ,
shall fall behind any similar effort which'
has yet been made foithe reliefof the Na'•
don's children.
As it ie desirable not to Multiply circu

lar will bj necessary fbr any employing
firm or company, or any respectable com
mittee of ladies and gentlemen, to pnrceed

'Tons W. CLAGUORN, Treasurer.
This Committee has a special work, to
wit : to obtain a day's " labor," a day's
"income," and a day's "revenue," from
every citizen of the three States of Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Delaware,
for
the benefit of our sick and wounded sol
diers.
The Committee is now fully organized
at the above address, and calls for the co
operation of all classes in the community.
We want to show what the industrial
classes can do for their soldiers.
What the people can do in their separ
ate trades.
What Pennsylvania can do.
What New Jersey can do.
. What Delaware can do.
What each county can do.
What each city and town can do.
What each profession can do.
What each trade can do.
- What each occupation can do.
What each manufactory , can do.
What each bank, insurance company
and railroad can do.
What each mine can do.
What each workshop can do.
What each fam,ily can do.
What each matrcan do.
What each woman can do.
What each boy and girl can do.
We want to show to the world what
American freemen are ready to do for
their soldiers.
This is a great work and the time short.
The way to do so is to ORGANIZE.
Organize in your workshops—in your
families
Let the men organize.
Let the women organize.
Let the trades organize.
Organize everywhere.
Let the workmen give with their em
ployers, the employers with their work
men., '
It is easily done. If the workmen will
authorize their employers to deduct one
day from their week's or month's earn
earnings, and ' the employers will add to
it a day of their profits, the whole such
will be acknowledged together to the
credit of the establistnnent. We say to
all, go to work at once with us in this
great work. Hurry forward your contri
butions. Every acknowledgement will
stimulate others to follow your example.
Circulars with full instructions will be
sent upon application by mail or other
wise, to the undersigned. To work! To
work !
