A. J. GERRITSON, Proprietor.} FOR THE MONTROSE DEMOCRAT Of the Great Struggle between Liberty and Despotism for the last Hundred Years. BY MRS.'L. C. SE&IILE Irving, in his Life of Washington, says " Lord Dunmore's plan was to pro claim liberty to the negroes of Virginia, invite theft to join his majesty's troops— in a word—to inflict upon that State the horrors of a servile war." "If that man is not crushed before Spring," writes Gen. Washington, "he will become the most formidable enemy America has. Motives of resentment ac tuate his conduct to a degree equal to the total destruction of Virginia. His strength will increase as a snow-ball by rolling,and faster, if some expedient cannot be hit up on to convince the slaves of the impoten cy his designs." What do these words of Gen. Wash ington imply, but that the slaVes'would have risen at the call of the kingrof Great Britain as soon as at the invitation of Ab raham Lincoln? Bancroft says : " What might have been accomplished had Lord Dunmore been master of the country, and used an, undisputed possess ion to embody tiain the negroes, can not be told ; but as it was, though he boasted that they flocked to his standard, none combined to join him from a long ing for an improved condition, or even from to their masters." Thomas Jefferson says that " from an estimate made after the war, it was found that Virginia lost 3 1 0,000 slaves"—but they were stolen or enticed away. " In truth," says Bancroft, "the cry of Dunmore did not rouse amonfr the Afri- cans a passion tla. freedom. To them, bondage in Virginia was not a lower con dition of being than their former one ; no struggling aspirations of their own, had invited Dunmore's interposition ; no memorial their grievances had preceded his offers." , Here a Massachusetts bisorian admits, that after the negroes had been slaves in Virztnia fur a hundred forty years,' tney were contented with their lot, and had no ill-will against their masters. 'They had not been reduced to any lower condition than the one they had occupied for thous ands of years. They enjoyed as many' privileges iu Virginia as they did in Afri ca, and had nothing to regret by the change. Their memories could not inn back to a time when they bad ever en joyed political privileges, and therefore they were not prompted to demand any change. They were not struggling fqr freedom themselves, for they had no aspi rations for any position in life above what they were then in, and had not invoked the interposition of Dunmore in their be half, or sent to him a memorial of any grievances for which they desired redress. It was not the slaves, then, who were en mica to their masters—not the black: race who were arrayed in deadly hostility to the white people of the South, but the white tyrants of Great Britain, who wan ted them to become " hewers of wood and drawers of water" to their aristocratic brothers across the ocean ; and these white princes and lords of the Old World, who had sent to Africa and brouglit these African barbarians over by the ship load and forced them among the colon ists of America, now offered them their, freedom if they would help to kill their masters, who refused to submit to their tyrannical power. Neither was it the black race in the South who hated their masters in 1863, but the " British faction" who wanted to gain the power over lthe descendants of the patriots of 1776, who still clung to the Democratic form of government es tablished by Washington, instead of one " formed after the model of Great Bri tain," as the Federalists, led by Alexan der Hamilton, have been struggling for, ever since the Union was formed. To prove that it was not slavery which these Federalists hated, but Democracy, we • give the opinions of ! C arson Brownlow, the present Radical governor :runes see, and a methodist ministe for many years. " The slaves in 1775," 'says Ban croft, "were contented with their lot,and had no aspirations fora higher position of life." Seventy years from this time, Par son Brownlow held a didenssien with Rev. Mr. Prime, of New York; upon the sub ject of slavery in the South, in which he gives the following description of the condition of the mime race: '. "The sinless spirits that surround GrOd's throne look down with delight upon what slavery is doing for the African race. Oh, with what ecstacy do they ponder on God's ways, when they see Him bending upon the abject African race an eye of tenderness, and in his profound wisdom, devising for them the institution of slave ry as a`plan of restoration, and by his wis dom bringing life, harmony and salvation to the African race through the mild in stitution of slavery. The preservation of the relation of master and slave is essen- tial to the continued improvement and future welfare of the negro race of the 'Seuth. American slavery is a blessing; ra blessing to the - master ; a blessing to I .nou-slaveholders ofthe South ; a blessing to the white race in general, and a bles t sing to the negro slaves in particular." In 1861 Brownlow says : " I am a pro slavery man, and so are the Union men generally of the border slave States. I have long since made up my mind upon the slavery question, but not without stu dying.it thoroughly. The result of my investigation is, that there is not a single passage in the new testament, nor a sin- gle act in the records of the church ring her early history even for centuries, containing any intended censure of slave ry. The original Church of Christ not only admitted the lawfulness of slavery, but masters and slaves bowed at the same altar." In Parson Brownlow's book, printed in 1862, he says : " Zn 1858 I was engaged in a debate on the slavery question with Hey. Abram Prime, in which I defended the ifistitti tion of slavery'as it exists in the South. The debate was published, and exhibits my sentiments upon that great question, which have undergone no change since theA. Thirty years ago I had a contro- versy with Mr. Posey, a Calvauistic min ister, a man of tal i ents, and I herewith gi\e my opinions on slavery then, and they are the same now. Mr. Posey taun ted me with the false charges that meth- odist preachers were the friends of ne groes and opposed to slavery; and that Wesley, their great idol, wrote and preached against slavery. Both of these charges are false. Many of the Methodist preachers are opposed to slavery ; but as many more of them own slaves and are advocates of the institution. I own none, but it is because of my poverty, and not um - au esu Tta - ! uppm•cti to - uw mug tn etn.— The methodistS in New Engiana, and 0111- er denominations there, take the ground `that slave-holding is a sin, an injustice, a barbarism. Ido not believe them. I be lieve, with the Constitution of my coun try, that slaves are a lawful species of property, and that those who feed knd clothe them well, and instruct them in re , ligion, are' better friends to them than those who set them at liberty." Three years after the publication of his book, Parson Brownlop thus desy.ribes the blessings of freedom to the negroes of Tennessee "There is• a bad feeling between the ne groes and the whites, and it is daily grow ing more bitter. Many of the negroes are insulting to white families, who never owned any of their color, and never did them any wrong. They frequently elbow white women off our pavements, and curse white men passing them just to show their authority. Others swear that they will clean out the town. k, And still another class swear that if they are not allowed their rights at the ballot-box, they will resort to the cartridge-box ! And they swear that they will be backed up by the government. As one desiring the welfare of the colored people, they will permit me to say that they cannot drive the Legislature of Tennessee into conferring upon them the elective fran chise. The Federal government has no right to control the suffrage question in Tennessee; and the great Union party of the nation will have more sense than to attempt to control the question by Con gressional legislation. "The negroes entertain the idea that the government is bound to supply all, theirs wants, and one third of them are not willing to stoop to work. They think the government is bound to furn ish them with houses, if, in order to do that, the white occupants must be turned out.. There is a large demand for labor, in every.section of the State, but the ne groes, with here and there a noble excep tion, scorn the idea of Work. They fiddle and dance at night, and lie around the stores and street corners in the daytime. And some of the indiscreet teachers of the negroes from the North, who know nothing of the negro character, have been known to telt them not to hire to white People. Having the single idea in their beads of abolition, they advise the negroes to a life of precarious subsistence, of idle ness and dancing, and of crowding into the towns to be educated, in preference to good' wages and. comfortable homes in I the country. The negroes,,as well as the whites, must learn,to take care of them selves. A portion of them, I belleve,will be-quiet and industrious citizens, provid ing for themselves and families. The great majority of them will not, and they will get into •trouble—many -of them will break into. the, penitentiary.

I am informed that balls are getting to be very frequent, which white soldiers and officers attend, and dance with the colored women. One Ohio sol- dier procured a license to marry, but not disclosing the color of his intended, actu ally married a yoting wench, formerly a slave in this city! If this sort of alliance suited his taste, I have no complaint to make. But Ido complain that the mor als of the colored population are Trot so good since their freedom as when they were in bondage. And at the speed which is making in the direction, of their enlightenment, - of teaching, preaching, praying, singing and dancing, half of them will go to ruin in a short time. " Colored soldiers in Federal uniforms, with gnus and pistols in their hands,must know that East Tenneisee will not be in- timidated by thew, or suffer their fami lies to be abused. I know these people, and I know they will not submit to be run over by negro soldiers. And know ing this, I desire to keep down any con flict between the races. Loyal men con cede to the negroes their freedom, but they are not prepared to see all their churches and school houses turned over to them, and the innocent white children of Union parents, who never owned any slaves, denied houses of worship, and_ houses in which to teach school, because a few impudent teachers, upstarts from the North, out of any employment, have conceived the idea of immortalizing the negro. There are those of us here, claim ing to be on the side of the Union, who still think, notwithstanding the !result O'k the war, that a white child is as good as I a black one. We do not recognize the right of the government, after emancipa ting the negroes of Union men, to take their lands and property as a punishment for hosing owned slaves 1 There are those of Els here claiming that there is no' discount upon our Unionism, who don't I recognize the right of the captain of a ne gro regiment, upon the representation of a negro of bad character, to arrest respec table, loyal white men with negro bayon ets, and march them from one county to another for trial, when their condemna tion has been agreed upon by the negroes in advance, and there thousands of true hearted Union citizens and discharged Tederal soldiers, who will die right here, in a second war, before they will submit to such insults, wrong - a, and outrages.— getting up throughout the Mate upon this subject. I think I see where and what it will lead to, and I desire to reme dy the evil. Let those who have control of the negroes advise them to a peaceful course, and to reconcile it to themselves to see white men and their families enjoy what rightfully belongs to them. Let them frown down allmalicious complaints from negroes of bad character against white persons who always stood fair. Let thpm cease to arrest gentlemen of characli3r and standing and of loyalty because some enraged negro has fancied he can procure such an arrest. A day of reckoning will come hereafter, and if these encroach ments upon the rights and liberties of oy al men are continued, the day will come sooner than any of us want to see." One of these days of reckoning came soon after this document of Parson Brown low was issued, which was known as the day of the " Memphis Riots ;" another as the "Massacre of New Orleans." The key to all these tragic scenes is found in the fact which the Parson states, that white people would not submit to be run over by negroes. Congress therefore has sent an army Sbuth to compel them to submit, by giving the negroes the politi cal power to rule over them ; and Parson Brownlow, with the instinct of a demon, has joined the side of the negroes. Thad Stevens' says, " the Southern people de serve to be shut up in the penitentiary of hell ;" and the Republicans have prepared the penitentiary and guarded it with bay onets. Brownlow says if they rebel,they will be swept from the earth. The picture which Parson Brownlow gave of Tennessee, after the negroes were liberated from slavery, was a true picture of all the other States in the South. The white people were the ones who were in sulted, wronged and abused by the ne groes, causing all the disturbances, which Congress 'has undertaken to remedy by putting the whites into bondage to their former slaves. " The sinless spirits that surround God's throne, who looked down with delight upon what slavery was doing for the Af rican race, in redeeming them from-a state of barbarism," behold now the whole South turned into a pandemonium ; the masters who civilized and christian ized the barbarians, punished with dis franchisement and slavery, and made to change places with their negroes, because they refused to submit in 1866 as in 1776, to aid in establishing despotic power over America. If they would vote the Republican ticket, and thus restore and ratify the claims of the King and Parlia ment of Great Britsin, now represented by the Congress of the United States, ev ery Southerner would be released from this prison-house to-morrow. They hold -in their bands, now , as ever, the liberties 'of the whole white race in Ainerioa. • ......lit:Atkuita.loa.,-new flour sells at 8,50'8 barrel,, I ' P Speech of Judge Sharswood at the Anniver sary Dinner of the Hibernian Society, March 17, 1860. In response to the sixth regular toast, "Pennsylvania," Judge Sharswood said : That he felt highly honored in being the guest of the Society on this, as he had been on so many former anniversaries, and especially on the present occasion, in being called on to respond to a ,toast in honor of his native State. Pennsylvania has not been sufficiently appreciated by her own sons. Many reasons may be given for this. There never has been a feeling of brotherhood among the people in different parts of the Commonwealth. There has been always something of a jealousy of Philadelphia through the in terior which is not to be observed in other States towards their metropolis, and which may, perhaps, be traced to early political differences. Besides which the Quakers iu the East, the Germans in the midland counties, the Scotch and Irish in the West, and the Yankees in the North, have never fully fraternized. The time is at hand when these marked distinctions of races will have. worn out. The valu able though varying traits which distin guish them, when blended in their com mon descendants, cannot fail to produce a state or national character, we may hope good as well as great. The simple but earnest discipline, mental and moral, of the Friends, „the steadyjndustry and fru gality of the" Germans, the indomitable courage and energy of the Scotch and Irish, and the inventive enterprise and shrewdness of the sons of New England, these have all had their respective works to do in founding aid settling our broad Commonwealth, and well have they done it. To their descendants, the present and coming generations, they have left the task of uniting together, and cementing more strongly the North, 'the South, the East and the West, in the common senti ment that we are indeed all brethren of one family. In the future history of the Federal Union—this great Commonwealth of nations of which Pennsylvania is one— she will have an important part to act. She, the very keystone of that old Federal arch, which, springing on one side from the shores of the Atlantic on the north east, and almost from the Gulf of Mexico ;;;ere, in the very centre. Although her geographical position in relation to her sister States has been much changed from what it was with the Old Thirteen, not so with her political position. Sho is still the Keystone of the Arch. Always true to the Constitution and the Union, she will stand by these priceless legacies of the Revolution to till very last. In every conflict which involves these—God forbid that such conflicts should ever come—you will know where to find the sons of Penn sylvania—bravely fighting under the old stars and stripes as long as a single shred remains. He would not dwell on such a topic but hasten to ask what will not Pennsylvania become with such a population, and with her great physical resources and material wealth, in the onward progress and ex pansion of this great Confederacy ? The eminent scientific gentleman, (Professor N. D. Rogers,) under whose superintend ence the geological survey of the State was conducted, bas, in his riant report, summed up the results by expressing his deliberate - opinion that the coal strata of Pennsylvania alone "confer upon it an amount of accessible wealth surpassing that of any other Commonwealth of the Confederacy, or that, indeed, of any equal country on the globe." "To the states man," he adds, "this display of the pre eminence of Pennsylvania in mineral wealth cannot but be viewed with deco interest, as it must appear to him by far the largest element in the problem of her future industrial, social, and political ca reer." The coal measures within her limits cover an area of about 12,622 square miles, or not much less than one fourth of the whole surface of the State. Each acre of a coal seam, four feet in thickness, is equivalent to about 5,000 ton, and possesses a mechanical power equal to the life labor of more than 1,600 men. Each square mile of one such I single coal bed contains three million of ton of fuel, equivalent o one million of men laboring through twenty years of their ripe strength. Multiply that by 12,622. This is but a single element of the future growth and,power of Pennsylvania, if she continues to share, in common with her sister republics, in the blessings of Union and peace. Add to this her inex haustible mines of iron, the most useful of all the metals—her rich valleys, which gained for part of them the well deserved name of the gardens of America—all combined with multiplied means of easy transportation and internal communie‘- tion—and who will undertake to calculate in figures what she will be, oven half a century hence, in population and wealth? ,With schools and colleges eveowhere es tablishca and growing in favor with the masses, and with that, constant and steady progress, the feeling of which is that ; which 'ores life ,ttn4 strength to a corn ,ukaulty77wto ;Will undertake • 1.0 lare• shadow the rnorttl.ao political power! in the Union, or the moral and political in fluences of that Union upon the destinies of the whole race? Let a summer tourist, who flies his ac customed haunts in order to benefit health or enjoy relaxation, instead of wasting his time, without gaining either, at some crowded watering place, in a toil of plea sure and a round of discomfort, seek both in an excursion through our own State. lie will see natural beauties of scenery not surpassed anywhere, while the local and particular knowledge he will acquire of men as well as things will foster a just State pride and better fit him for the practical duties of the citizen. He will know and feel that Pennsylvania is a State for her native eons to be proud of, and that it becomes them to support and main- 1 tain her just claims to a high and com manding position. Let him pass through the great Valley .of Chester County and look down upon a landscape painted like a chess-board, but in brighter and richer hues—through Peqnea Valley, with its I broad acres and well garnished barns— through Cumberland Valley, with all the evidences of a happy and wealthy farming population, in fields heavy with abundant harvest. Let him climb the side of the Cove Mountain, and from its summit stir , vey that glorious valley stretching south even to Mason and Dixon's line, often had the speaker stood' there and shuddered at the bare thought that those quiet and smiling scenes, studded with towns anti villages Chambersburg, Mercersburg and Greencastle and ever and anon some modest church spire pointing heav enwards, and sending up as it. were hymns of grateful praise to the Creator —might, at some distant day, even though long distant, be the battlefield of civil war. Or if the tourist prefers, let him start north, through the rich German sett!ementsqf upper Berko, Northampton and Lehigh,fintil from the brow of the . Wilkeebarre Mountain the beautiful Val ley of Wyoming bursts upon his vision; or, taking the great central route, let him pass through the midland counties, along the Valley of the Juniata, across and through the heart of the great mountain chains which divide our eastern and west ern waters. He could easily dilate neon this topic, but he would not detain the society longer. He might be allowed to say that Irishmen. and the sons of Inishminx hays vations which have made rennsylvania, and especially the western part, what it is. ,They have left their mark on her history, filling chairs in her institutions of learning, seats in her legislative halls, and on the bench of the Suprethe Court, as well as honorably represenang her in the councils of the Union, and bravely fight ing the battles and leading the armies of the country in all her wars. When an Irishman adopts a country he does it, as he does everything else, with all his heart, and as his heart is always in the right place, it - follows that wherever the honor or welfare of his adopted country is at stake, he is always in the right place too.

That the sayin, "in times of peace prepare for war," applies to a cross wife full as well; by tying her up when she is good-natured so as to be reddy when the spell kums on.

"A life on the rollin sea" sounds well on paper, but when you git there in earnest it's most too rollin for a man of weak stumick and limited -bowels.
