THE CITY ELECTION.
Our annual charter election will be held on the
third Friday (40th) of March, when, in addition
to Councilmen, School Directors and Ward M
oore, a Mayor and Treasurer are to be elected
for the term of two years. The :'no-party" Re
publicans have already made a partizan organi
zation, with a view to control the election, and
have appointed a "Vigilance Committee: of fifty
in each Ward to work for the Republican candi
dates, who are to be placed in nomination this
eraning.
This is an earlier movement than usual, and
indicates a determination on the part of the Re
publicans to make a hard fight for the retention
of their power in the government of our city. It,
therefore, hi:lames the duty of the Democrats to
bestir themselves, and prepare to meet their
opponents at the polls, with their full strength.
Let an active " Vigilance Committee" of one
hundred Democrats be appointed in each Ward;
let no then nominate capable sad popular candi
dates; and we need not fear the result. Read.
lug is, at heart, a Democratic city, and if a free,
nneentrolled.expression of the sentiments of her
voters can be obtained, it will so appear. As
the Republicans have taken the initiative in
making the choice of oily officers a matter of
party politics, they will have no right to com—
plain if the Democrats follow their example, and
(aa we hope) beat them at their own game.
MIIIIOOBATIC STATIC CONVIINTION.—We under
eland, although no official notice of the fact has
been given, that the Democratic State Central
Committee has been requested to meet in the city
of Philadelphia on Saturday next, the 7th of
March, for the purpose, it is said, of changing
the time heretofore fixed for the meeting of the
Democratic State Convention to an earlier day.
We have never been aware of the reasons
which induced the State Central Committee to
adopt the 17th of June in preference to any other
day for the meeting of the Democratic State Con
vention ; hut that day haying ones been settled
upon and promulgated for the information and
action of the Democratic party, we protest
against any change, especially if that change
points to an earlier period for the meeting of the
Convention. Four months will be quite long
enough for an active and thorough canvass, and
no good can be accomplished by hastening the
time for choosing our candidates for Governor
and Supreme Judge.
BURCILABINS is Porrwrows.—Several dwelling
houses in Pottstown were entered on Thursday
night, the 19th inst., by means of false keys, and
robbed of various articles. The burglars were
detected at the house of Dr. M. J. Hoffman, and
proved to be two negroes, or "Americans of Af
rican descent" as they are now called in "official
circles." The Doctor was awakened by the
noise, and succeeded in giving one of the soma.-
drels some hard knocks, before they escaped.
They were pursued and caught at Phoenixville,
and lodged in Norristown jail.
New COUNTERFEIT.—Petarson's Detector for
March Ist is out, containing a list of fifty-eiz
new counterfeits issued during the past month,
among which we find one on the Farmers' Bank
of ibis city. It is entirely unlike the genuine:
Farmers' Bank, Beading, Pa.-10s spurious—vig.

Mount Joy, Pa.
Tun NATIONAL Rena BILL PASSIM—The
Mouse of Representatives, on Friday last, passed
the bill "to establish a uniform National Cur
rency," by authorizing a general system of Bank
ing based on United States securities, as it
came from the Senate, without amendment., by a
vote of 77 yeas to 64 nays. The Representative
of this District, Mr. ANCONA, voted against the
bill.
POWDER MuL EXPLOBION.—One of the Dupont
powder mills, near Wilmington, Del., was blown
up on Wednesday, and thirteen workmen were
killed. Much damage was done to the other
buildings. The shock of the explosion was
plainly felt in Philadelphia.
"THE Ass".—We have been requested to state,
(bat in consequence of the unexpected delay in
the completion of the Power Press for " THE
AGE," (the new Democratic journal about to be
published in Philadelphia) the first number can
not bo issued until late in the month of March.
POSTAGII CURERIIOY.-It is officially stated that
applications for postal currency can be satisfied
by any of the depositaries of the Treasury. Cur
rency to the amount of $15,000,000 has already
been printed ; $2,000,000 is not yet in circula
tion, and more is being provided for at the rate
of $200,000 a day..
OALT TRUSS DAYS MORE I—The third and last
semi= of the 37th Congress will expire, by lhn-
Ration, on the 4th of March. Let the true
friends of the Union rejoice and give thanks that
only three days' more life are left in that pesti
lent body_

TREASONABLE OFFENCES
We publish, on the outside page. an abstract
of the debate that took place in the State Senate
a few days ago on the resolution offered by Mr,
Lowry, urging upon Congress the passage of
laws to define and punish offences of a treasona
ble character. Mr. Clymer, with manifest pro.
priety, moved to amend the resolution, by
the insertion of a provision that the proposed
laws shall be "in accordance with the Constitu
tion of the United States and of the State of
Pennsylvania," But the Abolition majot . ity in
the Senate, having been taught by the exafople
of the higher powers, to disregard constitutional
obligations, refused to adopt the amendment. It
was for proposing this innocent, and under pre—
sent circumstances, highly desirable addition to
the loose phraseology of Lowry's resolution, and
advocating it, briefly but forcibly, that Mr. Cly
mer incurred the displeasure of the New-York
Tribune, and drew down upon himself the follow
ing abusive, libellous and threatening denuncia
tion ; in which we find another instance of the
frivolous pretexts that suffice to justify the intol
erant, persecuting and would be despotic spirit
of Abolitionism in fixing the infamous brand of
treason upon loyal citizens, who, because there
can be no Union without the Constitution insist
upon the observance of that instrument as the
only true test of patriotism.
.ftom the New. York Tribune, February 23, 1563.
TREASON IN PENNSYLVANIA
The disloyal Democracy of the North is not
satisfied with playing into the bands of armed
Rebellion at the South by opposition to the Gov
ernment and the War. It aims at nothing leas
than to so debauch the public mind that the
heresies on which Secession and Rebellion were
based may become the political faith of the
North. To that end the Connecticut Democracy
has just passed a resolution affirming that this
I:Tnion is a Confederacy of States—a term which a
loyal American instinctively resents as an insult
to his country and the memory of the patriots
who united it. With similar purpose a Penn
sylvania Democrat has recently attempted to
force through the Senate of that State a declare-
Lion that the Constitutidn of Pennsylvania is su
preme in its control of Congressional legislation
The way in which he tried to do it, and the de
bate which his effort elicited, are instructive.
The following resolution came before the Son
ate in order on its final passage :
.`Yrolaltatins, it appears that the exieting legislation of
Fogg le deficient in the present crisis; therefore
Reeoloed by the Senate and House of Mpreeenta•
tiVeaf the Commonwealth of Pennsy/vania in General
detteadoly met, That the Senators from this State be in
strut nod the Members of Congress reqtiested to procure
the i • mediate passage of laws defining and punishing or
ient; of a treasonable character not amounting to lash
treason, and providing for the fair and epees trial by an
impartial jury of persons charged with such offences in the
loyal and undisturbed States, so that the guilty may just
ly suffer, anti the innocent be relieved,"
Thereupon Mr. Clymer, a Democrat from Berks
county, and of course of the extremest Copper
head persuasion, moved to amend by inserting
after the words "passage ot laws," the words
"in accordance with the Constitution of the
United States and of the State of Pennsylvania."
That is to say, Mr. Clymer proposes to instruct
the Sea:atom and Representatives in Congress to
shape their legislation far the United States in
accordance with the Constitution of a single
State.: die would make, as Calhoun and Jeffer
son Davis made and are making, the State sove—
reign and supreme, the Nation subject and in•
ferior—liable to be controlled while it existed,
or at any moment shattered in pieces by the vote
of any one of its constituent States. What more
pestilent or perilous doctrine than this did ever
any architect of his country's ruin suggest
Mr. Clymer of course supported his motion in
an abusive and treasonable speech, but was an
swered conclusively and spiritedly by Mr. Lowe
ry, a Republican Senator—so pointedly also that
Mr. Clymer was brought to his feet to repel the
charge of treason, not leveled against him in
words indeed, but applied equally by his own
00111Cience and the sense of the Senate which
listened. With a simplicity only too seldom im
itated in these days, Mr. Lowry declared that he
was determined in future to call things by their
right names. Senators feared; he said, though
ke hoped not personally, the consequences of
such a measure as Congress was asked to pass.
Yet he did not hesitate to say that treason had
been committed on the floor of that Senate Cham
ber by members who had given aid and comfort
to the enemy. When Mr. Clymer undertook to
quarrel with this general statement, the Speak
er, with singular perspicacity, felt bound to sug
gest to Mr. Lowry that he must not indulge in
personalities, and Mr. Lowry assured him he
was trying his beat to avoid it.
The motion to amend was lost by a vote of
eighteen to twelve, and the original resolution
passed by the same vote. Mr. Clymer therefore
took nothing by his motion, except to announce
to his fellow traitors of other Northern States
just how far it was thought prudent for treason
to speak out in Pennsylvania. It Weeks so loud
ly, and with such rapidly augmenting insolence
and courage, that it may ere long attract at
tention elsewhere than in these columns, and
involve other condemnation than such ns a loyal
and indignant public sentiment can accord.
The Tribune; in its mad attack, grossly and
maliciously perverts the obvious sense of Mr.
Clymer's proposed amendment. Taking it as it
was framed, in a single, connected sentence, it
suggests no such "pestilent or perilous doctrine''
as the supremaoy of
... the State over the Federal
Government. The words, "and of the State of 1
Pennsylvania," presided by "the Constitution of
the United States" do not warrant the idea of
any divided or conflicting legislation; and the
Tribune knows very well, or should know, that
a law passed in accordance with the Constitution
of the United States cannot conflict with the Con
stitution of Pennsylvania, for the two, in all
things relating to the proper jurisdiction of the
Federal Government, are in perfect agreement
and harmony.
TOE WHOLE QUESTION IN A NUTSHELL.—The
New-York Tribune says of the conservative Dem
ocrats :--" They are not disunionists—they do
not desire the permanent division of our country
—but they do hope and expect to achieve lie re
construction." This is precisely the difference
between the conservatives and the abolition rad
icals. The radicals are "disunionista"—they do
`desire the permanent division of our °pantry,'
—and they do not " hope and expect to achieve
its reconstruction." Let the people remember
this distinction.
CONTINENTAL MONTHLY.—We have received
the March number of this Magazine, which is of
more than average merit.. The best general ar
ticle is "The Century of Inventions," by C. G.
Leland, and the best political paper is " The
Union," by the Hon. Robert J. Walker. Miss
Eleanor C. Donnelly, of Philadelphia, contributes
a fine and thoughtful poem; " The Vision of the
Monk Gabriel." New York : Published for
the proprietors by John F. Trow, h 0 Greene
street, at $3 a year.
CONNECTICIIT.—The nomination by the Demo
cratic State Convention of Connecticut of Ron.
Noe. D. SAVV6VB fer Governor, gives us strong
hopes of success in that State. Mr. Seymour
was elected Governor of Connecticut . in 1853, and
although defeated for the same office a few years
ago, by a small majority, is a very popular man,
and a gentleman of due ability. Re was Minis
ter to Russia under Mr. Pierce's administration.
New JERSEY U. S. SIMATOR.—Wm. Wright, of
Essex, wee on Thursday elected United ,States
Senator by the Now Screoy Legislature, for et
years from the 4th of March. The vote stood :
Wright 54, Wm. A. Newell 25.
The perms resolutions were passed in the
Senate—yeas 12, nays B—and were made the
special order in the mouse for the 10th of March.
mar Roams SHEBBIAN BALDWIN, once Gover
nor of Connecticut and United States Senator,
died at New• Haven on the 19th inst. He was a
grandson of Roger Sherman.
THE CONSCRIPT 'BILL PASSED
The Senate bill (of which we gave an abstract.
last. wed:), providing "for enrolling and calling
out the National Perez!, and for other purposes,"
passed the House of Representatives finally on
Wednesday, by a vote of 116 yeas to 40 . nays,
after having been amended in several particu
lars. The amendments adopted were as follows:
One confining the term of service to the present
Rebellion, not, however, to exceed three years;
one providing that all persons found lurking or
acting as spies about, our fortifications or camps
in time of war or Rebellion eldtll be tried by
general court-martial, and if found guilty shall
suffer death ; and 'one striking out the clause
requiring Provost Marshals to inquire into and
report to the Provost Marshal Genartaitil trea
sonable practices. Another arnentinkrrequires
all persons arrested for alleged treasonable prac
tices, to be turned over to the civil authorities
for trial. The following were the yeas and nays

THE BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS AND BLACK-
Hoop,—These invaluable periodicals, reprinted
in New York by Leonard Scott, & Co., have been
so often noticed in our Columns that we need
scarcely add an additional word as to their merits.
The London,'Edinburgh, Westminster and North
British Quarterly Reviews, and' Blackwood's
Monthly Magazine, are the known and acknowl
edged fountains of English literature. They
represent incidentally all the political and re
ligious opinions of the people of Great Britain,
and are of authority there and here as to the
literary ability of the authors of the World. It
is through the pages of these able periodicals
that all the great English writers have first ap
peared before the public—Walter Scott, Macau
lay, Lockhart, D'leraeli, and the long array of
names connected with the literary glory of Eng
land. We direct attention to the advertisement
of Messrs. L. Scott & Co., in to-day's paper. It
will be observed that they will continue to sup
ply the re prints at old prices, notwithstanding
the exorbitant cost of paper, to all who pay be
fore the first of April next. This is a very liberal
offer, and should induce many to subscribe for
the series of Foreign Periodicals, who have
never taken them heretofore.
NSW VOLUMES OF THY SPITISH POET& —Messro.
Little, Brown & Co., of Boston, have just pUb—
Belted three additional volumes of their beautiful
series of British Poets, containing the complete
PoetiCal Works of Robert Burns, edited by Prof.
Child, and accompanied with a memoir of the
poet. 'Ate poems appear in these volumes as
arranged and edited by Robert Chambers, and
the memoir is taken from the Encyclopmdia Bri
tannica. Thd type, paper and finish are the same
as the preceding issues. This series makes the
beet, the most valuable, the most beautiful and
the cheapest collection of poetical literature that
has ever been published in this country or in
Great Britain; and it is not so easy to see how
more tasteful books can grace a library. We be.
lieve the tribute of critics is so uniform as to the
fidelity with which the detail of editorial labor
has been performed as it is to the excellence of
the mechanical execution. One hundred and
twenty-eight volumes of this series have now
been issued, and any volume is sold separately
at the very low price of 75 Gents,
ANOTHER OUTRAGE NY A PROVOST GUARD.—
Four soldiers of the Provost Guard doing duty
in Lancaster county, were committed to prison a
few days ago by Squire Wicks, of Fulton town—
ship, on the charge of assault with attempt to,
commit murder. It appears the guard were in
the neighborhood of Conowingo bridge, on the
look out for deserters from the army, who fre—
quently enter this State from Maryland by this
bridge. A man by the name of Ewing passed
the nighborhood in which the guard were sta—
tioned, and was challenged several times to halt,
but did not do so, when two of the guard fired,
one of the shots taking effect in the wrist of the
man. Ewing, it is stated, is deaf and dumb, and
of course did not bear the challenge. The guard
were then arrested, and after a hearing were
finally committed for trial on the charge above
stated.
THE MISSOURI EMANCIPATION BILL.-A COM—
promise between the Senate and House bills to
aid Missouri in the emancipation_ of her slaves,
has been agreed upon. The compromise bill
fixes the amount of bonds at fifteen millions.
The emancipation is to take effect on or before
July 4. 1865. The bonds are all to be delivered
to the State, and disposed of and disbursed by
the State. No price is fixed per bead for
the slaves. It amounts to a proposition to the
State that, if she will bring about complete
emancipation on or before the 4th of July, 1865;
she will receive a government bonus in bonds of
fifteen millions.
THE ECLECTIC MAGAZINE.—Messrs. Strickland
& Brother have sent as the March number of
The Eclectic Magazine, containing 21 admirable
selections from the Foreign Magazines, to some
of which American readers have no access. The
engraving for this month ie Napoleon I. medita
ting on the eve of the Battle of Austerlitz, This
truly valuable Magazine is publtehed in monthly
numbers of 144 large octave pages each, at $5 a
year. Single Nos., 42 cents. Subscriptions re

The RAYTIKH EMBASSY.—Considerable inquiry
is made in Washington respecting the Minister
and Secretary of Legation from Hayti, whose
arrival in New York was announced several days
ago. It is hinted that they are pimp:only. kept
back until Congress adjourns, in the fear that
their debut in Washington might complicate diffi
statics in the national councils.
COURTg ABOLIBHED.—The U. S. Senate bas
passed the bill abolishing all the Courts in the
District of Columbia and creating new ones, on
the alleged grounds of disloyal proclirities of the
Judges. All the lawyers in the District protested
against ite passage.

MD WASHINGTON'a BIItTLI DAL e 22,i came
upon Sunday this year, and Sunday came In and ended
with a. Arne North-Westerly snow -storm, that kept nearly
everybody widths doors. Apart from appropriate allusions
to the anniversary in the sermons of the pastors of the sev
eral Churches, which were preached to very meagre con
gregations, there was no outward observance of it in this
city. The only formal celebration was that by the Wash
ingtOn BM Compeer, le the Court House, on Saturday
night. The attendance was good. bat not so large se last
year. John S. Richards, &R.; presided, and made a few
rentarke oa taking the Chair. The Hon. J. Clancy Jones
delivered a brief hut happily conceived and elm:Neat ad
drone on the character and services of Washington, which
was well received by the attentive audience ; and Col.
Samuel L. Young concluded the elocutionary part of the
proceedings, by a few words of eulogy upon the life of the
Father of hie Country. The intervals were well Stied up
with music by a Quartette of excellent stagers, and the
German °Wheelie. of instrumental performers, led, we be
lieve, by Mr. Otto Salle. " When this Creel War is Over,"
a very sweet solo and chorus, was snag so well by one of
the young ladies who formed the Quartette, and her sup
porters, as to call forth a loud encore, which wan gracefully
given.
To the surprise of nearly every one in the sad tepee, the
Farewell address wee not read, nor was even no meek es
the smallest extract from, or the faintest &Heston to it made
daring the whole proceedings. We are at a Loss to account
for this culpable omission. It was hinted to us, Indeed.
that the reading of it last year was found to be . 6 tedious!"
Lint that WAS dOIIbUSSS the Unit of ...the reader and might
have been easily remedied. The last words of Washington
shoeld never be "tedious" or "tiresome" to any true
friend of the American Union ; and a failure to read them
on the occasion of celebrating hie birthday, is, to say the
least, a very poor tribute to his memory.
Atte' FUNERAL OF COL. KNODERER.—The fu
neral of Col. Charles A. Knoderer, late Commander of the
167th Regiment Pennsylvania Militia, took place on Mon
day afternoon last, and wee attended by the Ricotta Infant
-11, Capt. hunter; the McKnight Guard, Capt. Eisenhower,
(two of the Companion of State Militia that wore command
ed by the lamented deceased, during the threatened rebel
invaelon in September last) ; Provost Marshal Hupp and his
Deputy, Capt. Hoffeditz ; the Bathers of the Provost Guard,
who marched as a Guard of Honor around the hearse; the
Reading " !dinner-04dr," and a large concourse of mourn
ing relatives and Meads. The military procession was
led by the Union Baud, which performed a solemn dirge
as it passed through the streets toward thnCharles Evans
Cemetery. The Burial Service of the Episcopal Church
was said at the grave by the Rev. A. G. Cumadne;
after which, the ••Mm:oner Chor" sang a dirge.
A eulogy upon the deceased was then pronounced by
Mr. Fredk. Schteueman•Pott, Speaker of the Free Con
gregation of Philadelphia. Another dirge was sang by the
"Manner-Cher," and the sad ceremonies were ended with
the firing of a volley over the grave by the Provost Guard.
The friends of Col. Knoderer intend to erect s suitable
Monument over hie remains, made after a beim:Laid dodge,
