The German Vote.
Who are these men who call themselves
radical Germans, and pretend to be the
mailers of our German-American voters ?
Are they nameless, or ashamed to pub
lish their names ? Who are they, and
what great service have they rendered
Germany or the United States, that they
claim the right to command the votes of
their countrymen, as in England wealthy
landholders lead their tenants, like sheep,
to the polls ? We are sick of hearing of this
unknown abstraction, this knot of nameless
men who threaten so loudly in the dark
ness which enshrouds them. If they have
honorable names let the country know them;
if they are entitled to trust, let them declare
their past services; if they have influence,
let them use it openly ; hut, unless they are
ready to admit the insignificance and irre
sponsibility of their organization, they must
not fear the light. For ourselves, we have
no respect for the petty Presidential plot of
■unknown plotters, and no faith in their pre
tence that they will have the support of the
loyal Germans of the United States. For
the great German leaders are not with an
anonymous cliqne, hut with the American
people, who, whether native, Germans,
Irish, or French, profess one nationality,
and sustain one cause.
Of these self-called radicals the spirit is
hostility to the Administration. Hatred —
not of the rebellion, not of slavery, but of
Abraham Lincoln —inspires them. They
are avowedly working, not to defeat an Op
position candidate, but to defeat him, and
him only. And so little do they care, in this
furious hatred of a man, for principles, that
they are ready to unite the most violent ex
tremes and submit to the basest compro
mises. From one or two newspapers which
are their organs we find the most servile
advocates of Vallandigham united with
the warmest supporters of Gen. Fremont,
and are astonished at the unparalleled ef-
frontery of this unprincipled reconcilliation.
Terrible must be the dislike of the President
to unite the believers in a cowardly, hu
miliating, extreme pro-slavery policy, with
even the blindest of the friends of that
bold and gallant abolitionist. Can such a
party be powerful? No; for were Abra
ham Lincoln as unpopular as Vallandig
ham, one man in a thousand could not be
found capable ot submitting, in the hope of
defeating his election, to an alliance so un
natural. Can such a party be loyal ? No.
For if the Administration of the President
had been one colossal blunder, the country
could never he saved from its effects by a
party composed of apostates from all faiths,
Tenegades from all policies, capable of sa
crificing every principle to a personal anti
pathy, and positively publishing as their en
tire creed “the salvation of the Republic—
the defeat of Abraham Lincoln.” We find
this remarkable definition in the Volksfreund,
a German pro-slavery paper, which sup
ported McClellan tor the Presidency up
to the moment of Mr. Chase’s withdrawal,
and then, in pretended despair of the suc
cess of the Democratic party, nominated
Fremont, not from love of him, but from
hatred of the President. It is not difficult
to understand this movement. The Volks-
Jreund is as anxious to-day for the election
of an Opposition candidate as it was yes
terday, and has aimply adopted another
method to obtain it’ If General Fremont
is to really have the support of the slave
party, we cannot congratulate his many
friend 6 in the abolition ranks on their
■allies.
But the iniquity of this renegade combi
nation does not end in shameless contempt
of principles. The movement does not ap
peal to Germans as American citizens, but
-as foreigners. There are German Aboli
tionists, and German Copperheads, and the
opposition is as absolute with them as it is
with native-born Americans. Tet they are
-called upon to sacrifice their extreme creeds
to the defeat of Abraham Lincoln, and to
vote solidly as foreigners. But they are not
aliens, and those are enemies of the coun
tiy who would attempt to alienate them
from the people they have chosen as breth
ren. We, who know well what Pennsylva
nia owes to her hard-working, intelligent
German population, would be the last to un
dervalue its worth to the whole country.
Many of them are opposed to the Adminis
tration, and we are sorry for it; still we re
spect the sincerity of their convictions,
though utterly denying their truth. But
those who demand of the Opposition
Germans that they should vote, irre
spective of conviction, for one poli
tical enemy in order that another foe
may be defeated, who ask all the Ger
mans in the United States to form a distinct
party upon the basis of the accident of
birth, at once insult their honesty, and en-
danger their prosperity. For while we be-
lieve that the American people are now the
most tolerant, liberal, and cosmopolitan
people on the earth, and in proof refer to
the annihilation of the Native American
party, we knew that the formation of a
German party, or an Irish party, at the
very time when union is most important,
would inevitabiy revive the dead spirit of
exclusiveness in tenfold vigor, and revive
it justly. How could Americans fail to
oppose the establishment of a foreign party
in America, or to perceive all the evils that
would result from its continued existence ?
The Germans,'were they so unwise as to
separate from the masses of the people, and
band together as foreigners, would acknow
ledge the accusations of the “ Know-
Nothmgs - - to be true. This is one danger
which the leaders of the pretended radical
German movement have apparently forgot
ten or studioiulv conceal, but against which
we warn tbove who have listened to their
appeals. America is the land wherein the
oppressed of the earth find freedom and
equal rights, and her institutions ask
of those who choose to live beneath their
protection, onb" obedience to the laws, and
-fidelity to the spirit of the republic. Her
people could not see 'without just indigna
tion the formation of foreign parties, and it
is with true respect for their industry; intel
ligence, and political rights, that we advise
the Germans not to vote as Germans, but as
American citizens. It would be better for
every German in Pennsylvania to vote for
a pro slavery candidate than to oppose
Abraham likcoui'b certain re-election,
by uniting as a nation within a nation,
even in support of Mr, Chase himself.
But, it would be the rankest injustice to
suppose that the German vote can be ar
rayed against the President. It is the trick
of his opponents to pretend it; their inte
rest to assume the falsehood as a fact. Many
of the Germans are undoubtedly resolved to
sustain the Democratic nomination, though
in Pennsylvania we have positive knowledge
that the name of Democracy, which is the
cloak of an anti-Democratic party, is not an
infallible deceit. Let those, still faithful to
a name, and false to a principle, vote as
they believe. Many others, especially in the
"West, are anti slavery men, and prefer Gen.
FbemOKT. let them cany hia name before
the Convention, urge hia distinguished ser-
vices, and show, what no one will deny, his
consistent course as a friend of universal free-
dom. But there are many more who believe
With the great body of the loyal people, that
Ahhaham Lincoln has done more for Ame-
rican freedom than any other man who
lives; that the principles of his administra
tion are those upon which all true men
may unite, and that his re-election is de
manded by the necessities of the nation, and
the interests of humanity. And even of
those who personally desire another candi
date, there are none but the disloyal or the
ignorant who would carry their opposition
to him beyond the limits of fidelity to the
cause. More than sixteen States have de-
clared their preference for the re-election of
Abraham Lincoln. The people are with
him; and were we among his opponents,
we should despair of defeating a determina-
tion which is National.
The Danish Question.
The Danish question continues pretty
much in statu quo. Austria and Prussia
may find, ere long, that they erred in hasten
ing to invade Denmark, for this may help
to justify an Italian movement agaiußt Ve
netia and a French movement against the
Bhine provinces, thus striking great Ger
man Powers at vital parts. As yet, Russia
has held back, and has been followed in this
non interference by England. It is difficult
to ascertain what are the individual pro
clivities of leading official persons in Eng
land. On one hand, Earl Russell is said
to hold out for non-interference, and Lord
Palmerston is understood to have a strong
desire to turn the scale in favor of Denmark
by sending a fleet to the Baltic, and by lend
ing some 20,000 British soldiers to the King
of Denmark. But, it is alleged, Queen
Victoria, strongly impressed with the Ger
man predelections of the late Prince Con
sort, has positively declined to sanction any
interference in this Danish difficulty. On
the other hand, the Prince of Wales is be
lieved to hold, and to have expressed an
opinion equally positive, that not only
iamily connexion but true British policy
•would warrant, and even require, active
assistance to be given to Denmark, against
Germany. The Pretender, Prince Chris
tian, of Augustenburg, is nephew-in-law
to Queen Victoria, and, on the other hand,
the King of Denmark is father to the
Princess of Wales. Moreover, the prime
mover in the attempt to wrest Holstein and
Schleswick from the King of Denmark, is
the reigning Duke of Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha,
only brother of the late Prince Albert,
husband of Queen Victoria. Thus the
British monarch is literally opposed to Den
mark, in this crisis, while her Heir-Appe
rent naturally wishes to aid his wife’s
father, “ The Majesty of Denmark.”
The British press is very reticent on this
subject— and especially on all matters re
lating to Queen Victoria, personally. It
would be held as a sort of petty treason for
an English journalist to hint at the mental
health of her Majesty, and the members of
her Government have the prudence not to
disclose the difference of opinion which may
be expressed in the confidential meetings
of the Cabinet. That bold invention and
confident guesswork forming the basis
of much of the “Special Correspondence”
from Washington, which has become a fea
ture in the leading newspapers ol this coun
try, would be useless in popular provincial
journals in England. The gossip of the
Clubs is sometimes retailed in the “London
Correspondence” of leading journals in
Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Glas
gow, Edinburg, Dublin, Belfast, and Cork,
but it excites little interest, and the persons
who supply such newspaper correspondence
are often ridiculed in Punch. In a word,
very little is known, and still less is made
public, of differences of opinion between the
Queen and her Ministers, or between one
party in the Cabinet and another. News
paper speculation on such things is virtually
tabooed in England.
There is no difficulty, however, in ascer
taining what is the inclination of popular
opinion upon any question. It is evident,
frcm the general tone of the British press,
that the British people have a decided dis
inclination for any interference with foreign,
and especially with German politics, which
must eventuate in certain loss of men and
treasure, and may lead into a prolonged
and costly European war.
End of the “ Entente Cordiale.”
Doctor Johnson said to Jambs Boswell,
in one of those conTeisations so thickly
strewn with paradoxes, “ Sir, I like a go&d
hater.” He would have been charmed
with Lotus Napoleon, who is called
“ Emperor of France, by the grace of God
and the will of the French people.” If
there be one feeling stronger than another
in the unfathomable mind of the very
remarkable man who holds the sceptre
of France in an iron hand covered with
a glove of the very thinnest velvet, it is
intense antipathy to England. This an
tipathy has a treble aspect. It is heredi
tary. It is national. It is personal.
The first Napoleon found England his
most implacable enemy. From the exe
cution of Louis XYI. to the catastrophe
of "Waterloo, a period of twenty years,
England was engaged in actual hostilities
with France. Her numerical force for land
service was small, but she supplied other
nations with money to purchase and main
tain armies, and her superiority on the
main, which culminated at Trafalgar,
completely crushed, literally extinguished
what there’ was of a French navy. It was
English money that overthrew Napoleon
in Germany, in 1814, and the cash as well
as the army of England helped his final
defeat in the following year. Napoleon’s
hope of being allowed, to find a quiet asy
lum in England, after all was lost, was
broken by the action of the British) Minis
tiy, which, not accepting him as a guest,
hurried him away to the barren rock of St.
Helena—henceforward to stand a monu
ment of .his wrong and suffering, and of
British injustice and want of generosity.
From the day he set foot on St. Helena to
that which beheld his death, Napoleon
protested against the harsh treatment to
which he had been subjected. His nephew,
now his successor, holds an antipathy to
England almost as great. In that singular
work, Les Idees the present
Emperor of the French said, twenty-five
years ago, “ Napoleon was always the
Inend of peace; he was the protector of
commerce and industry ; it was for this that
he waged war with England, the eternal op
pressor of loth." More than this, what
ever else Louis Napoleon may or
may not he, he undoubtedly is a good
Frenchman, and, even independent of
any family interest, regards Waterloo as
a fatal misfortune, for which France will
have to supply a Nemesis some day, ere
long. In 1840, after the failure of his expe
dition to Boulogne, Louis Napoleon said,
on his trial before the Chamber of Peers,
“ I represent before you, gentlemen, a prin
ciple, a cause, a defeat. The principle is
that of the sovereignty of the people, the
cause is that of the Empire, the defeat is
Waterloo. You have recognized the prin
ciple ; you have served the cause; the defeat
you would avenge." Thus Napoleon’s
antipathy to England is national as well as
hereditary. This antipathy is personal also.
Louis Napoleon *ad two phases of his
future while he resided in England. In
the first, between his return from the
United States and his expedition to Bou
logne, he inhabited a palatial house, in
Carlton-House Terrace, near St. James’
Park, his immediate neighbors being Lord
Palmerston, Mr. Glaustonb, Sir Ma
thew White Bidley, ("now M. P. for
Northumberland.), and Baron de) Bulow,
the Prussian Ambassador. There he lived,
at the Tate of $lOO,OOO per annum, and, of
course, had the entrree into high society,
such as any distinguished foreigner, with
plenty of money to spend, would have
in London. It is true that he was not re
ceived at Court, because Count Sbbasti ani,
the French Ambassador, semi-officially com
municated to Lord Palmerston, then Fo
reign Minister of England, that Louis Phil
r.ii'PE would consider such reception as a
sort of recognition of the Pretender, which
would exceedingly annoy him. In 1840,
when Louis Napoleon went on his unfor
tunate enterprise to Boulogne, he had ab
sorbed, from such of his family as would
contribute, nearly all tins money that they
could spare him, with the understanding
that it was to be the last they would give
him. The enterprise, literacy a cast for em
pire, failed, and all the money that Louis
Napoleon had with him—we have heard
himself say it was about £2so,ooo—was
seized by Louis Phillippe and never re
turned, which may account for the confis
cation of the Orleans property in 1852.
Lours Napoleon remained six years in
the fortress of Ham, a secluded priso
ner, and on his escape to England found
himseif there with such diminshed means
that he was unable to resume the oc
cupancy of his grand house in Carl
ton Gardens Terrace, and had to reside
in such a dwelling fin King street, St.
James’.) as an English gentleman of four
or five hundred pounds a year liveß in.
There he remained until after the revolution
of 1848, and there he experienced that ne
gleet from all his quasi friends —Count
D'Orsat, himseif greatly in debt, being
one of the few exceptions —which showed
him how Blight was the personal sympathy
with himself. In the year 1848, which saw
him installed as Preside . .. of the French
Bepublic, his condition Was much altered;
for he was the legally-elected ruler of France,
and it only rested with his own will, as the
coup of 1851 proved, to retain that
possession permanently, by himself and
through his family. He was much galled,
first as President, and afterwards as Em
peror, by the sneers and satire and personal
abuse which the English press actually went
out of its way to cast at him. From the
polished ridicule and deliberate misre
presentation of the Times, down to the
sharp squib and ludicrous caricaturing of
Punch —the most time-serving of all British
publications, while professing to be the
most independent— he was assailed by the
leaders of public opinion in England. It was
his interest to maintain friendly relations
with England— to keep up that entente cor
diale for amicable understanding.) with Eng
land which had accepted the unfitness of the
Bourbons to rule, which had acknowledged
and stood by Louis Philippe, which next
recognized the Bepublic of 1848, and which,
finally, had acknowledged the Empire. The
amour propre of France was gratified by
the superiority of her arms and military
organization in the Crimea, and by her dic
tation to Europe, in 1859, in the affairs of
Italy. The Emperor Napoleon was per
sonally offended, however, last autumn,
when England, in a curt and contemptuous
manner, refused to participate in the Con
gress which he had proposed. To unfor
gotten Waterloo was then to be added this
British ignoring of the right of France to
lead. As events have turned out, it would
have been all the better for the peace of
Europe if England had consented to send a
representative to that Congress.
Louis Napoleon) is a gentleman who
happens to be “a good hater.” There
lately was a plot to assassinate him, and
Mazzini, the Italian exile, was charged
with complicity in it. On the trial of the
conspirators, who had been arrested, M.
Cobdobn, the Procureu- Gfineral imperial,
a higher sort of district attorney, charged
Mr. Stabsfeld, a. member of the British
Government, with participation in the plot,
on the ground of one of the accused having
been directed by Mazzini to apply for
money to one Mr. Flower, 35 Thurloe
Square, London, that being Mr. Stans -
feld’s residence, and "be having, in 1857,
been the treasurer of the Zebaldi conspiracy
against the Emperor’s life." On this charge
two French Senators, (M. le Yerribb and
the English-hating Marquis de Boissy, J
publicly accused England of having mem
bers of Parliament who subsidized assassina
tion, and of nurturing cut-throats, just us
ferrets are bred in a tub for sporting pur
poses. These be hard words, certainly
not disclaimable by Louis Napoleon, who
regulates, directs, and corrects all that his
'own publicists have to say. In his
place, in Parliament, Mr. Stansfeld
branded the whole as false, and scarcely
any’one will disbelieve him; He is member
for the borough of Halifax, in Yorkshire,
and, though an advanced liberal, of the
Bright and Cc-bden class, was called up,
not long ago, to take office in the Palmers
ton Administration, simply because of his
proved ability. Anything so monstrous as
}hat this gentleman could have the remotest
connexion with a plot against the life of any
human being is palpably monstrous and in
credible.
Louis Napoleon knows this as well as
any of us know it. But he is incensed
againßt England ; he wants to increase the
Anglo-phobia, which may be said to per
meate France, and therefore he permits the
procureur-general to abuse England to the
top of his bent. ‘ 1 Throw plenty of dirt, and
some of it will stick,” is an ancient advice,
and that is being carried out now by
Fiance against England. The circumstance
is only of importance to us as showing that
the intimate relations of the French Empe
ror with England are broken. The entente
cordiale is of the past.

Territory of Montana.
Ex-Representative Kellogg, of Illinois, it is re

Safety of a Steamer*
The milting steamer Fairbanks arrived at Alex
andria yesterday afternoon. .
Colored Colonists*
About 430 colored colonists were embarked from
the vioinity of Fortress Monroe in April last, under
a contract with Messrs. Forbbs and Tcokkeman,
of New York, for the Isle of Avaehe. Theie colored
peraoßS, the Chronicle says, seem to have been the
subjects of misfortune from the day of their depar
ture. On their voyage the small-pox broke out
among them, and they suffered beyond disorlptlon
owing to the mismanagement of those ia oharge of
them. Their suffering* were, if possible, increased
after their arrival at the Island of Avaehe, from
the want of attention and proper accommodation,
although the President in the contract expressly
stipulated that everything should be done to promote
their comfort. Their hardships were represented to be
so great, and the prospect of their amelioration seemed
so alight, that Seoretary TJshbr, under the direction
of the President, despatched Mr. D. O. Donnohhb,
of Indiana, to examine into their condition, and the
President determined upon his report to have them
returned to this country without delay. Accord
ingly the ship Marola O. Day was sent to the Isle of
Avaehe duiing the month of February, and yester
day the vessel returned, and oast anchor in the Po
tomac, a few miles below the city, near Alexandria,
with the surviving colonists, now 363 in number, on
board.
A Speech by the President*
At the close of the Patent Office Fair on Friday
night, President Lincoln, in answer to loud and
continuous calls, made the following remarks:
Ladieb and Gbntlrhbn : I appear to say but a
woid. This extraordinary war in which we are en
gaged falls heavily upon all classes of people, but
the most heavily upon the soldier. For it has been
said, all that a man hath will he give for his life;
and while all contribute of their substanoe the
soldier puts Us life at stake, and often yields it up
in his country’s cause. The highest merit, then, is
due to the soldier. [Oheere.j
In this cxtraoidiniTy war extraordinary develop
ments have manifested themselves, such as have not
been seen in former wars, and among these manifes
tation# nothing has been more remarkable thaa
these fairs for the relief of suffering soldiers and
their families And the chief agents in these fairs
are the women of America. [Cheer*.]
I am not accustomed to the use of language of
eulogy; I have never studied the art of paying com
pliments to women, but I must say, that If all that
has been said by orators and poets since the creation
of the world in praise of woman were applied to the
women of America, it would not do them justice for
their conduct during this war. I will close by say
ing God bless the women of Amerioa! LGreat ap
plause.] -
General Sickles and General Oqlebby, of Illi
nois, also spoke.

stant for an election to be held on the 28th of March
for delegates to a Constitutional Convention.
The New Orleans markets are quiet in nearly
every department, operation* in the staple! being
restricted by light supplies, there being only a mo
derate movement in monetary affairs. The supplies
of cotton offering (ssys the Era) are much less than
might be expected from the extent of the receipts
and the etook on hand, leading to the inference that
a considerable portion of the arrivals is for shipmsn*
to the north, or Is withheld from sale.
The intelligence from Texas, received by way of
New Orleans, is lnteiesting.
THE AMNESTY PROCLAMATION.
Msy'or General Dana, commanding the Federal

ARMY AND FLEET STARTING FOR ALEX-
New Oeleanb, March 12.—There is sonsiderable
stir and activity in military matter! here. General
Banks is on the eve of departlcg for Western Loui
siana. His objective point is probably Alexandria.
A fleet of Admiral Porter’a gunboats have already
started lor that place. It la expected that formida
ble works of defence will be encountered by the
iron-clads between the mouth of Bed River and
Alexandria.
Madisonville, a small town on Lake Ponchar
train, opposite New Orleans, has been evacuated.
It was occupied by our forces on the 13th of Janua
ry, and extensive fortifications were thrown up on
the land side. These works were left intact, but
add nothing to the strength of the place for the re
bels, as ills easily approached by water. The ob
ject sought by occupying this town was to open
communication with Baton Rouge,
General Grover’s whole force has been ordered to
concentrate at the latter place. The 26th Masaa
ohueetts regiment has re-enlisted, and will start
for home about the 20th instant, on thirty days’
furlough. It is believed that there is some sort of
understanding between Generals Banks and Steele,
by which Western Louisiana and Southern Arkan
sas are to be oleared of rebel troops.

remarks concerning a conspiracy in Kentuoky to

■■ We doubt not that there is some foundation for
this rumor, and we base our opinion by the fast that
many of the rebel troops whleh nave been taken are
intensely and passionately anxious for a triumph of
the rebellion within her limits.
<i We advise, however, that the position of the In.

as the best reason forkeepjng quiet the sympathizers
within the State.”

party (occupying four ears) readied Bellefonte at
10.30 P. M. on Thursday. The citizens kindly opened
ttelr houses for the entertainment of the guests, and
on the succeeding morning (Friday) furnished vehi
cles of every description to convey the members to
the Agricultural College. At the building, a wel
come was extended by the officers of the college, and
an Impromptu meeting was organized In the chapel.
Hoc. Thomas P. Knox, president of the Agricultural
Sooiety, was oalledto theohair, and delivered an

mVIIIth CONGRESS—Ist SESSION.
Washington, March 19.1864
The Senate was not in session to day-
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
To day was set apart for speech-making.
Ur. ARNOLD' of Illinois, addressed the committee on
the subject of reconstruction. Freedom* he said* was
the comer stone and Litcoln the architect of national
unity, without slavery, and the construction the Magna
Charts, securing liberty to all. as the aim of the Ad
ministration. The fear/nl error of uniting free acd slave
States must not he repeated.
Mr. ARNOLD diecusssed first the relations of the
rebel States to tha Rational Government; second*
ly* the duty of the Executive; and thirdly, the duty
of Congress* The status of the rebel States is that
of traitors and Public enemies, and they may he treated
.asfiuch. The Executive mast govern the country as
con mander of the aimy* until Congress provides some
other government, or toe people themselves organize
local State governments* and a:e admitted again to the
Union
The President, by the Amnesty Proclamation, invites
the co-opeiatioi of Congress on restoring national
unity. To have unity, the cause of onr divisions* sla
very, must be removed. Remove s]averv and ’‘Yankee
Doodle*' wIL again retound through all Dixie's land.
Mr, Arnold replied to Mr. Brooke' declaration that
slavery is dead It is not dead, but in a dying condition,
and needs a few move blows from the rail-splitter of Il
linois to end its existence Let us bare immsdiato eman
cipation, and amend tae Constitution prohibiting slavery
fOTever.
Mr. Arnold deprecated divisions among the friends o
the loyal cause With Lincoln as President. Chase in
the Treasury, and Grant commanding onr armies, suc
cess is certain. As to the Presidency, the people have
already settled the question. Lincoln is the choice of
the people, because they recognize in him the apostle of
liberty.
Mr. WILSON, of lowa, spoke In support of the propo
sition heretofore introduced by h’m, to amend the Con
etitation by declaring that slavery being inompatible
with free government, is forever prohibited in the {Tai
led States, and involuntary service shall be permitted
only as puiistment of crime, and that Congress shall
have power to enforce this article by appropriate legisla
tion. It was long the custom when slavery made its im-
Berative demands to ?ppease it, by giving a new lease of
/e.. We were the slaves of the slave power. Slavery
having in its possession the dispensation of patronage,
there was a cringing for its favors; it made incessant,
unrelenting war on the principles of Government, and
the objects for which the Constitution w&4 originally
framed. Slavery touched and defiled everything, and
they had submitted tamely and cowardly, while It
was working death on all that is loved and desirable in
life.
The fact fch at public opinion is now against slavery, in
the result of slavery over-leaping itself. However pub
lic opinion may have been formed, thank God it is
formed, and is never to be surrendered. We must add
strength to public opinion by doing ourdaty* We may
now talk about freedom, and write it in our National
Constitution never to be erased. He believed such
amendment was desired by the true loyal people of the
country. He argued the propriety and necessity of the
measure assuming that slavery is incompatible with a
republican form of Government, and that an tasultiog,
reckless, and depraved despotism was at war to male
tain the revolting doctrine or tha right of property in
man We must establish justice on the tomb of slavery.
Which is the destroyer and m.t the promoter of domeitlc
tranquility; we cannot have peace till we secure liberty
to an who are subiect to our laws.
Mr.- WILDER. of Kansas, maintained that it was not a
war avail, st Insurgents but against States, and. therefore,
it ought to be conducted according to the laws prescribing
belljgerefct rights. He seated hie objections to the Presi-
reconstruction plan, and was in favor of military
occupation of States, until the people could saMy resume
self government

JBM MAOB AND JOK COBURN.
To the Editor of jiclVi Life in London:
You aid well aware that there has been some talk
of a match between myself and Joe Coburn, the
champion of America, and which has acquired ad
ditional interest from the recent defeat of Heenan
by Tom King. I wish at once to say that I will not
fight in America, for reasons not neoeasary to
mention here; but I will meet Coburn in his “ own
dear native Ould Ireland,** where I feel assured we
shall meet with lair play. I will give Coburn .£lOO
or $6OO towards expenses, and will meet him in tha
fair manly spirit of an Englishman. I will do my
best to make the visit pleasant, and whether I am

If Coburn will come to England I will guarantee
him fair play. In any contest I require no ua
seemly aid from Interested partisans; they have
never done goed to any one* Ali I hope ana beg of
my countrymen is, if Coburn and myself meet, to
strive to the Uttermost for fair play, and if anything
to lean to the side of the stranger. I feel sure that
there are those in England who wIU respond to this
appeal on the part of Coburn. I will maintain my
title to the u Champion Belt of England” against
all comers, and will make a match with any one for
two hundred pounds a side and the belt, or setting
the belt aside, will fight any one from two hundred
upto two thousand pounds*
This will, I trust, put it beyond a doubt that I am
willing to meet all comers for the championship.
Above all, I wteh to show my respect tor “the
adopted son of America, 1 * Joe Coburn. Wa will meet
fairly, comet a gamely and honorably, and, the con
test over, no one will strive more to aiu Coburn
than yours, &o , JAMES MACE,

Against all corners.

Some resolutions pawed at a large meeting or the

Whereas, By the arrival or the null from the
States upon Thursday of the peat week, It has come
to our knowledge, end to the knowledge of the clu
zena of thia city, that In the New York Journal of
Commerce, the New York' World, and other promt*
nent papers, there have appeared at varioue points,
and almoat simultaneously, violent, abuilve, and,
aa we believe, grossly unjust and unrounded impu
tationa and attacks upon the official and personal
eonduet and oharaeter of Brigadier General’ Jamea
B. Carleton, commanding the Department of New
Mexioo and Arizona, charging him with tyranny,
opnteaaion, and peculation—*
Therefore ie a Resolved, That all the chargee and
imputations contained In the papera referred to de
rneatorv to the character, atandleg, and eonduet of
Brigadier Oeneral Jamea H. Oareleton, In thia Ter
ritory, have no foundation, In the opinion and aentl

An Old Description of a Copperhead.
In one of the speeches made during the last war
With Great Britain by Felix Grundy, or Tennessee,
occuis the following description of a thorough going
Copperhead, as seen at the present day;
“ An Individual goes over, joins the ranks of the
enemy, and raises his arms against his country; he
is clearly guilty of treason under the Constitution,
the overt act being consummated. {Suppose the same
individual not to go over to tbe enemy, but to remain
in his own neighborhood, and bg means of his influence
to dissuade ten men from enlisting; laik La which case
has he benefitted the enemy and injured the country
most?”
Again, he says, in answering the question, “Whom
then do I acousel I accuse him, sir, who professes
himself to be the friend of his country and enjoys
it» protection, yet prove, hlm.elf by bl. action, to
be the friend of Ite enemy; I aecnae him who aet.
himtelf to work .y.tematloally to weaken the am
of this Government by deetroying It. credit and
dampening the ardor of lta citizen.; I aoou.e him
who ha. used hie exertlona to defeat the loan and
prevent the young men of the eountry from going
forth to fight tbeir country’, battle.; I aocn.e him
who announce, with joy the dlaaeteri of our arme,
and .inks into melanaholy when he hear, of our

WALWPTSTRBBT THBATBE—Mr. Edwin Adams
haa completed the first week of his engagement, ana
has appeared in a round of favorite characters fa
vorite with both himself and the publio. ‘ The
Dead Heart,” which he makes the principal feature
of hia reportoiie, will be produced to-night. The
very miserable support which Mr. Adams receives
deserves to be reverted to. The management haa
been doing a flourishing business, and can very well
afford a better stock company. The policy which it
has adopted Is not such aa will assure Its permanent
popularity. We sincerely believe that the aetor.
do their utmost In the oharaeter. In which
they are cast, and we are confident that
aa a rule they are faithful and painstak-
ing. It ia an unpleasant and ungrateful task
to allude to failures for which they are not
themselves responsible, and, for this reason, we have
kept alienee hitherto, hoping against hope that the
management would at least be farsighted enoughfin
the view of it. own ulterior interests, to amend the
error of its way. and correct these deficlenolea. Bat
the fault haa grown more glaring week by week.
Whilst the acton generally do their utmost to please,
they know, and the publio know, and the manage
ment knows, they are usually quite Incompetent for
the parts In which they are east. They are all placed
on too high a level, and are, therefore, not allowed
to do justice to themselves. Fart of these remarks
•Apply to the “ Dead Heart,” the rehearsals of whioh
Mr. Adams has superintended with much care.
Chestnut-street Theatre.— “ Colleen Bawa,”
the “ Ticket-o.’-Leave Man,” and “Pure Gold,”
were the attraotlona last week, and "The Octoroon”
is underlined for this. Mr. Grover's Investment in
the Boucicatdt shares have been highly profitable
Indeed, he has risked nothing. One of the features
of hia management is the Saturday matlnde. The
matings are not poorly attended, even in the went
weather, are frequently of respectable quantity, and
It is needless to add always of respectable quality.
Yopth and good looks, united to some degree of
ability, always tell well upon the stageßnl these
advantages are porsessed by Mire Miss
Germon, and Mire Annie Ward. Mire EffleGermon
deserves more particular mention for her Inoffensive
ladylike deportment, except when she commits the
inadvertancies, of which she Is getting cured, of
whispering or laughing, out of oharaeter on the
etage. The other ladles whom we have mentioned
shared these errors with her. Miss Effie Is arch and
sprightly, without being boisterous and rude, and we
thinkwlll ripen into a very creditable stock performer.
Miss Ward, in "The Ticket-of-Leave Man,” resem
bles the late Mire Emma Taylor in appearance,
without the sweetness of voice or quiet grace of
demeanor which that young lady possessed. In
boisterous and unruly parts, dashed with broad
archness and a love of fun, Miss Ward seems to be
more at home. Miss Gimber’s voice, both speaking
and singing, is greatly in her favor. She haa the
fault of often appearing to be totally disengaged
from the character which she is supposed to be de
lineating, frequently pausing In the midst of an
interesting scene and eying the gallery attentively
for half a minute, as if politely requesting from it
an explanation of the nature of that last remark, or
looking abstracted Into the procenium boxes as
though calculating the precise number of .cubic
inches they contain. Such faults as these aside,
however, she is a delicate and pleasing actress, the
slight lisp in her voice rendering it more piquant,
just as a little lemon juice syringed Into the eye
lends to it a greater vivaolty. Mrs. Ohapman is
quiet and correct. Mr. Chapman, when he haa
parts which suit him, la always excellent. Mr.
Peanon, Mr. Donaldson, Mr. Lennox, and others,
urually up to their respective roles.
Akch-street Theatre.— Mr. and Mrs. Barnoy
Williams have appeared sinee last Monday In a sue.
cession of their old pieces, with which the public is
familiar, and whioh do not demand any lengthy
notice. They have met with their usual
Eleventh- btbbet Ophba House.— The constant
charge or performance here, and the excellent nature
in which these changes are supported, insure nightly
audiences of vast uimenaions. To prove this, go
and tee.
The Excelsior Circus.—The suoeess of the Ex
celsior Circus troupe it unquestionable. The trapeze,
tightrope, juggling, somersaulting, tumbling, and
break neck sets are executed with wonderful skill.
The circus is open every evening, and on,Wednesday
and Saturday afternoons.
The Base Bali. Season. —The season. Is at hand
for the commencement of out-door athletic exer
ciies, and our base ball clubs are preparing for a
vigorous campaign. The Athletic, Olympic, Key*
etone, Columbian, Mercantile, Minerva, and other
clubs, are blushing up their uniforms and imple
ment!. in the course of a week the Athletics will
commence play upon their new and extensive
ground, near the old Spring Carden Water Works.
Due notice will be given or the opening day. At
the annual meeting, the other evening, the follow
ing officers were elected to serve for one year: Pre
sident, Thomas Fitzgerald; Vice Presidents, Col.
1). W. O. Moore, and C. W. Bacon; Treasurer,
Thfeo. M. Reger ; Secretary, R. W. Benson; Direct
ors, E. H. Hayhurit, F. B. Bell, and Wttliam C.
Ewing; Captain, D. G. Kleinfelder;. who will se
lect his nine from the following players; Moore,
Paul, Wilkins, Pratt, Mcßride, Malone, Berken
stock, Reach, Smith, G&ikill, Gratz, Oolhtm, Me-
Oleary, Hayhurst, Johns, Bel), Bull, and others.
During April, the Mountain Club, of Altoona,
and the admirable Base Ball Club of Bridgeton, will
visit Philadelphia, to play the Athletics, Olympics,
and Keystones. The visitors will come for prac
tice, and to learn the points of the game, and not
with the hope of obtaining victory, because they
have had very little experience in base ball. The
next dub in order will be the Nassau*, of Prince
ton, who owe the Athletics a game. In the mean
time, an encounter or two will be had with the gal
lant Jerseymen composing the Camden Base Ball
Club. It looks as if this would be a brilliant sea
son for base ball. In June the Athletics will visit
New York for a week, and in September they will
go to Baltimore and Washington. Certainly the
Athletics mean business.-*- During the year visits
may be expected from the Excelsiors, Eekfords,
Mutuals, Staiß, Unions, of Morrtiaoi&s Hudson
River, of Newburg, and Eurek-.s, of Newark.
Scottish Coxcert.—On Thursday evening, at
Musical Fund Hall, there will be a very superior
Scottish concert, vocal and instrumental, for the
benefit of the library which the Caledonian Club
are now forming. The eight Scottish societies and
clubs of this city unite to patronise this entertain
ment, tbe object of which is so praiseworthy. Near
ly twenty vocal performers will assist on this occa
sion.
