FIRST OF APRIL. This general settling day is close at hand, and we, with many others, must prepare to meet it. All persons indebted ton% therefore, whether for subscriptions, advertisin g or job printing, will Confer a special favor by paying up promptly beford the first of April, so that we may be ena bled to pay the demands that will be made upon mt. We are thankful to those who have settled their accounts during the winter. But there is yet a large number in arrears ; and we Maw ap peal to them not to let the first of April pass without paying up. The paper we print upon is still as exorbitant in price as it was two months ago, with no prospect of any decline; and we are obliged to pay cash for it, and all other arti cles we consume, on delivery. We must therefore adhere to the cash system, or we cannot get along in our business at all. While things remain as they are, we shall have to demand advance pay ments from all aubocribere, and cash for adver tising and job printing. When the times get back into the old track again, we shall be glad to relax this hard rale. THE SPRING ELECTIONS The Democracy of Pennsylvania have reason to be proud of their achievements throughout the State on the 20th. The charter elections, held upon that day, exhibit rcsuita which clearly indicate the rapidly growing strength of the Demooratio cause. The returns received so far, show the folloWing gratifying result : In the borough of York the Democrats elected David Small, Req., editor of the York Gazate, Chief Burgess, by a majority of 109. A High Constable and a majority of the Councilmen were also chosen by the Democrats. This is the third time in forty-five years that the Democrats car ried the borough ; and the Democratic gain since last October, is nearly a hundred. In Harrisburg, the Democracy had a severe contest, but succeeded in electing Gen. A. L. Roumfort, Mayor, by 58 majority, and carried every ward in the city but one. In Carlisle, the Democrats elected the Chief litorgese, a majority of Council and other bor— ough officers, by an average majority of about sixty. B. K. Vastorn, Democrat, is elected Burgess of the Borough of Danville. This is the first in- Mance for years in which the Demoerats hare carried the Borough in a political contest. One year ago the Republican Abolition majority' was 73. Two years ago they had 116 majority. The election in the borough of Washington, Pa., resulted in the success of the Democratic ticket by a majority of 80. Washington has heretofore been strongly Republican_ In Pottstown, Montgomery county, the Dem ocrats elected their whole ticket by a large ma jority. - In Northampton county, the Democtats made a clean sweep, except in the borough of Easton, where a Republican Chief Burgess was elated by a majority of four rotes. Erie has elected a Republican Mayor by a majority of 144. tor " T s Ace"—the new Democratic Dai ly—made its appearance in Philadelphia on Wednesday last, and came up fully to the expec tations of the friends of the enterprise. It is handsomely printed, and vigorously edited in all the departments that evactitute a jive journaL We are glad to learn that .163 success is already Ss• cured, and that it will be speedily enlarged to the fell sire of the first class daily newspapers of the time. Its publishers, 'Messrs. Olossbrenner, Grand and Welsh, combine all the requisite qualifications ofbusittess tact, energy, and edito rial ability, to make The Age not only a powerful Democratic organ, but a complete newspaper. The Democracy of Pennsylvania may congratu late theinsalvse upon haying, at last, a daily pa per in Philadelphia in all respects worthy of their most generous support. New PIIBLICATIONB.—We are indebted to Messrs. Strickland & Brother for Part XIII of Chambers's «Book of Days"—a Miscellany of English Antiquities, which cannot be too highly recommended for its historical interest and vane. The some firm have also lent Ile the April No. of" The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Litera ture," containing an admirable portrait of Lord Macaulay, and a number of choice selections from the current Foreign Periodicals, many of which are not within the reach of AnteriCan readers. Forman PRINTING PAPER.—The New York Times is importing 13,000 reams of news printing paper from Belgium. It will cost, with duty and twiing., about 15 Gents a pound, which it is be lieved will soon be the ruling price of our paper manufacturers. Xatensive preparations are mak ing by some of the latter, in different parte of the country, for the use of the cheapest stocks, such as straw, wood, he., and this will inevitably effect the market. TES PAY or :EIS ARMY..—It is stated fhat the Secretary of the Treasury hag pieced in the hands of the Paymaster General a sufficient amount of money to pay the entire army up the first of March. Sufficient has also been sent and reached its destination to pay the entire army of the West. UMW= Coo:gm—The Democratic Conven tion of Lancaster county met on Wednesday, and appointed Hon. I. E.

THI Fenneyltaula Abolition State Con vention will assemble at Pittsburgh on the let of July, instead of the lab, as previously reported. DISUNIONISTS NORTH AND SOUTH. The Northern abolition journals find great apparent comfort in republishing articles from the Southern recession papers in violent denun ciation of the movement at the North in favor of a National Convention as a preliminary step to ward peace and reconstruction. They imagine, OP try to lead the people to itnagine, that these articles prove the futility and hopelessness of any peace measures, and consequently the neces sity of a further prosecution of the war for the objects uow openly avowed by the Administra tion—the extermination of slavery, and the con quest and subjugation of the Southern States to the absolute dominion of the Federal Govern ment, But, these furious "war hawks" must have a very crude idea of the logic of events"— to use one of Kossuth's expressive phrases—or a low estimate of the common sense of the people, to quote the tirades of secession journals against peace as arguments in falter Of an exterminating war. It word be as wise—or, more properly, as foolish—to look for encouragement to any peace movement from' them, as it would be to expect it from the Abolitionists of the North; because, in the success Of such a movement, both foresee the failure of the objects, widely different, but equally revolutionary and destructive, for which they urge a prosecution of the war, name ly : disunion 'and final separation on the one hand, and abolition and subjugation on the other_ On the contrary, the more formidable the peace movement at the North becomes, the more vio lently wo expect the secession chiefs and their organs to denounce it; for the teachings of his tory, and the philosophy of human nature tell them that a reactionary feeling springing from a section of a people only lately one, and having yet, in spite of their present hostile positions, many Lica and interests in common, will not be long..without its counterpart from the other Sec tion. Even now, before the peace propositions have taken shape or substance, we see exhibi tions of this violent opposition, proceeding only front fear of their effect. For example, here is an extract from an article on " PEACC." in the Richmond Enquirer of the sth, which the Phila delphia Bulletin chucklingly copies as "A South ern Voice to Copperheads:" '• To be plain, we fear and destrustfar more these apparently friendly advances of the Democrats, than the open atrocity of philanthropists of Massachusetts. That Democratic party always was our worst ene my; and but for its poisonous embrace these States would have been free and clear of the unnatural Union twenty years ago. It is not the pewards and Summers, the Black Republicans Bud Moo litionists, who have hurt us. They were right all along; there was an irrepressible conflict be tween two different civilizations, two opposite social orgmizations ; they were no more able to live peaceably together in one Government than two hands can wear one glove. If we did not discover so soon as the Abolitionists, this great truth, it was because the Democratic party, neu tral as it was in principle, false to both sides, and wholly indifferent to the morale of either of the opposing communities, placed itself between, raised the banner of the spoils," and --we all know the rest. The idea of that odious party coming to life again, and holding out its arms to us, makes us shiver. Its foul breath is malaria; its touch is death. s , Give us the open feeman ; let him-be as fe rocious and greedy as you will. Let our enemy appear as an exterminating Yankee host, we pray, and not as a bemocratic Convention. Let hint take any shape but that ! Already we have visions of the mea of feeble knees,tender feet and undulating spines, losing their senses and manhood by the toutact, as they did, alas !so often before. We scent front afar off the old dead Compromises— absit omen! and seem to feel upon our throats the strangulation of unclean fingers. But it is a dream; nobody lives in this Confederacy Who *lll tiara le propose, or to hint even 14 a dikleanae, that we shotsid sacrifice at that abominable shrine all the gallant blood freely poured out to sanctify our nationhood. For it comes to this: we can have no peace now, save by submission ; no peace 710 W save by making ones more an affiliation with a Northern party, and making the Deugtera ey a present of all that inestimable treasure of the dearest blood that flowed in Southern veins." Now, what is all this, but the rageful cry of despair from the conspirator who sees the slow, but aura approach of the power that alone can frustrate * his vile plot, and which he therefore dreads and abhors with a deeper hate than he bears toward the foe that seeks his life? It is more than this :—it is a confession of the truths for which we have always contended, that the Abolitionists and Secessionists were allies in the work of disunion ; that the Democratic party was and is the true Union party; and that only through its instrumentality can the Union be restored. For the sake of so frank and 00 full a confession, wo can readily forgive the venom ous aspersions upon the principles and motives of the Democratic party, which accompany it. The highwayman and the incendiary never have a good opinion of those who stand in the Way of their nefarious acts; Arnold and Burr derided the virtue and patriotism of Washington ; and even the Saviour of the World, when he cast out Dune, was reviled as a servant of Deelzebub, the prince of Devils l Let us, then, be content to bear the reproaches of the enemies of the Union, North and South ; for in them are con veyed the highest tribute to our fealty. —But we have another elegant extract from the :Enquirer, which still more plainly betrays its dread of peace measures, and its fear of their reactionary influence at the South : " Where, then, are those indications of peace, which we are said to be recklessly twisting and disdaining? Ohl the great speech of 'Valeta digham ; the touching invitation of tuneful Cox ! We greatly fear that those two wooers of the South so fond and fain, will very soon be found, like John Van Buren ' shrieking out for war to the knife; and If they delay or decline to recant their great and noble peace speeches, why they will see the inside of Lincoln's jails. We wish from our hearts they were both already safely chained up at the present writing; they have done ps more harm, they and their like, than ten thousand Sowards and Sumatra. We tremble to see their unwholesome advances; still more to see a sort of morbid craving here to respond to them, un der the delusive idea of promoting intestine division at. the North. "Ohl Dictator Lincoln I lock ye up thou two peace Democrats—together with Richardson—in some of your military prisons !" Was there ever a more striking example of the truth that extremes the most opposite have a common meeting point, than this extract pre sents ? Rave we not, for a year past, heard the supporters of Lincoln's abolition and subjuga tion policy crying aloud for the arrest and im prisonment of all who dared to whisper a word in favor of peace and restoration ? And here we have this identical cry repeated from Richmond ! A coincidence so marked must have a meaning; and it will be found in the fact that the restora tion of the Union upon the basis of the Coned tution is inimical hike to the purposes of North ern Abolitionists and Southern Secessionists. Hence their voices are raised in unison against peace, against compromise, and for " war to the death !" ser The UNION CANAL.—The water• bast been let into the Union Canal, and 'navigation bee commenced on a portion of Eastern Division.

WILLIAM Ilommis, of Washington county, has made public the following letter, an nouncing his determination not to bo a candidate for the nomination for Governor, before the nest Democratic State Convention. Having thus di vested himself of all personal interest in the choice of a candidate, ho takes the liberty Of presenting his views as to the character and qualifications which should be possessed by the nominee of the party for that high and responsi ble office. He does this with modesty, and yet in a clear and forcible manner that will at once impress the reader with its sincerity and truth. Mr. Hopkins's estimate of the kind of man that should be honored with the Democratic Domino- Gott, is a high tae, but by no IneaUe too high, even in ordinary times, much less in times like these. It will be approved by every true friend of the State and Nation, and the earnest prayer of all such will be, that the choice of the Con- vention may roll upon the man who comes up to Itfr. Hopkins's ideal: . Ilmutisnuno, March 22, 1863 21, the Editors. of the Patriot and Union: GENTLEMEN: Having received many assu rances, from different parts of the State, that I would be supported for the nomination for Gov ernor, at the approaching Convention, anti hav ing made up my mind not to go into the contest, I deem it due to those who have !hue voluntarily indicated their preference, to place before them, and the public, some of the reasons which have influenced me in Doming to this decision- I have always regarded the position of Governor as one that ought not to be sonytA after. and acting upon this idea, I have never, personally, solicited a vote in my life, notwithstanding my name has been used in that connection on former occasions. rule of action This having been my _eretofore, I see no inducement for departing from it now. Indeed, if there ever was a time when the selec tion of a candidate should be left to the volunta ry judgment of the people, wholly uninfluenced by the importunities of aspirants, that time is the preeeet. If we look abroad over our bleed ing country, the patriot is horrified at the dark, impenetrable cloud, which overshadows our po litical horizon. All human forecast is bailled in attempting to solve the problem of our future, either as a State or Nation. We are in the midst of a crisis, such as the world has seldom, if ever, seen. The whole fabric of our government seems to be tottering to its very base, and none but Ile who holds in His hands the destinies of nations, and of men, can tell what is to be our fate. The responsibilities that will devolve on the next Governor of Pennsylvania will be ap palling beyond precedent. That there should, at such a time, be a scramble for the nomination, is most amazing. To my own mind it is clear that those who really comprehend the magnitude of the difficulties which environ us, should be the last to seek the position. Here, perhaps, I ought to stop. Bat when I conten.plate the vast interests at stake, I feel constrained" to venture a suggestion or two in regard to the qualities which, I think, our candidate should possess. This, I truet, I may be allowed to do, not being one thyself. Among these I will mention that, in my opinion, the candidate should be a man of experience, mature judgment, and unquestioned administrative abilities. He should be a man of the most indomitable courage, and firmness such as would enable him to interpose a manly resis tance to all infractions of the Constitution, and encroachments upon the sovereignty of the State, and rights and liberties of her citizens. lie should be a man of unfaltering fidelity to the Constitution of the United States and the Union,as they were founded by Washington. He should be not only untrammeled by corporate power, but entirely beyond such influences. Upon this point too much care cannot be taken, for it must be apparent to all that this influence has, already, made fearfnl strides towards undermin ing the liberties of the people. When it is re membered that within the past five years, some twenty millions of dollars have been taken from the Treasury, for the benefit of two corporations; and that too by the notorious. use of corrupt means, the question may well be asked, "Is there get imminent peril to be apprehended from this quarter in future'?" But above all, the midi• date should be a man of incorruptible integrity, whose private character is invulnerable, and whose public record in the past will be a suffi cient guarantee that his future will bring no reproach upon our glorious old Commonwealth. With such a standard-bearer we would ge before the people with a certainty of success. In conclusion, I desire to tender to all who have deemed me worthy of so exalted a position, my profound gratitude, with the assurance that I shall cherish, with the fondest recollection, these indications of confidence and regard as long as I shall live. I am, very respectfully and truly. Your friend. Wit. HOPKINS VONecIF,NTIOUS EXBDIPTS. We are Indebted to Han. Charles A.
