EASTER Dim—To-morrow, being the first Sun
day after the first f u ll mean following the 21st
of March, or vernal equinox, will be Easter tlny.
Easter is a festival of the Church commemerative
of Christ's resurrection. The word which we
Use is derived from the 811.10L1 word (Lire,
lying riaing. The connection of eggs with noster
is a custom, the origin of which appears to he
lost antiquity, though it is supposed to be
Jewish. That the observation of Easter is as
ancient as the time of the Apostles, seems un
doubted. In the second century, 'however, a
controversy arose as to the exact time of its cel
ebration. The Eastern Churches kept it on the
14th day of the first Jewish month ; the Western
Churches on the night which preceded the anni
versary of our Saviour's resurrection. The in
convenience of the former, was, that this festival
was commonly held upon other days of the week
than the first, or Sunday, which was undoubtedly
the proper day. The 'disputants retained their
respective customs till toward the middle of the
fourth century, when the rule for the celebration
of Easter was fixed by the council of Nice, A. D.
825, as now observed. The sacrifice of Christ,
and his glorious resurrection—the mightiest
events in the world's history, since the early
ages of Christianity—have been celebrated with
various solemn ceremonies. Good Friday, the
day of our Saviour's eruCifiaion, has also been
observed as a rigid fast for ages, and is kept as
such by the Roman Catholic Church, the Church
of England, and throughout Europe, and by the
Roman Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans,'Ger
man Reformed, Moravions, and probably other
religious denominations in this country. Even
amomg those who do not mark the day with sail
or devotional ceremonials, it is, or ought to be,
remembered, with humble and grateful hearts.
RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.—The State election
in Rhoda Island was held on the Ist inst., and
as was anticipated, the Abolitionists, backed by
all the power and influence of the Administra
tion, have succeeded in electing their candidates.
The contest was not a square fight between Abo
litionists and Democrats, but between the so
called "Republican Union" party and their op
ponents who entered the Reid as a sort of half
way Administration men. The Age very appro-
priately styles this election "a fight between the
mulatto and negro, in which the negro prevail
ed." The complete returns, as published, give
the following results:
Bmm, Abolitionist, for Governor, has 8311
majority over - eozzens, Opposition, and 3009 over
aIL
jtriess, Abolitionist, for Congress, h:tg 1918
majority over BRADLEY, Opposition, and 1846
over all. Dixon, Abolitionist, has 1022 majority
over BROWNE, and 992 over all.
Governor Smith's supporters have two-thirds
of each House of the General Assembly.
Tonscco GULTIMIL-Mr. Orange Judd, pub
lisher of the American _Agriculturist, New York,
has just published a pamphlet of 48 pages, con
taining practical instructions for the culture of
Tobacco. All the details arc stated so plainly
that any one can cultivate the crop, even though
he had never seen a tobacco plant. Eighty-fire
experienced growers each wrote down just what
is to be done, and how to do it. From these
eighty-five series of directions, the best given by
fourteen different men were selected and printed
in this work. The fourteen men who furnish
the information given, reside iu different parts
of the country, so that the book is adapted to all .
localities. The collection of this information
and its preparation cost nearly $5OO. The book
is cent post-paid for 25 cents per copy.
MAMMON or TUE Palace or WALES—The
Prince of Wales (heir apparent to the throne of
England) was married to the Princess Alexandra
of Denmark on the 10th of March, in Saint
George's chapel, Windsor, with all the state cer
emonial and pomp peculiar to such an event.
Queen Victoria was present in the chapel. She
took no part in the pageant ; but was evidently
both delighted and deeply affected at the happy
manner in which the proceedings were conduct
ed, and at the display .of loyally and devotion
manifested towards both herself, her son and
every member of the royal family, native and
foreign.

A DIVIDED NORTH
It A millet). South mot n divided North are hard
amplitions for carrying en thie etruggle."—Hoe
ton Journal.
True: but who have imposed these "hard con
ditions" on the struggle? Never was a people
More thoroughly United than the people of the
North, when the first blow of armed rebellion
was struck by the traitors of South Carolina.
Although they had, but a few months before,
palmed through a political canvass in which con
flicting partisan feelings and interests raged with
almost unexampled violence, they rose, in a
mass, superior to all party considerations, and
were of one heart and one mind in their daterm
illation to stand by the Government in the dis
charge of its solemn duty to enforce obedience
to the Constitution and allegiance to the Union.
This sentiment of hostility to treason, and devo-
Lieu to the Ping of our Common country, which
pervaded the entire North, was well expressed in
the resolution, declaratory of the purposes of
the War, which passed Congress by a vote almost
unanimous at the extra session of July, 1861 ;
and which was Asa, doubtless, an expression of
the views of the Administratfon, so far as it had
yet proceeded in shaping its policy. This reso
lution has been often published, but as it embo
dies the only true and justifiable principles upon
which a war against a rebellious section of OUT
people can be prosecuted, we copy it again:
"That the present deplorable civil war has
been forced upon the country by the disunionists
of the ti onthern,States, now in arms against the
Constitutional Government, and in arms around
the Capital; that in this National emergency,
Congress, banishing all feeling of mere passion
cc resentment, will recollect only its duty to the
whole: country ; that this war is not waged on
Mcfr part IS (frfy Erira o f ° A yres:don, Or for ant'
aosaose of &digital or subjugation nr purpose of
ov:•rthrowing or inter firing with the rights or estab
lished institutions of those States, but to defend and
maintain the supremacy of the Coostitation, mid to
preserve the Union, with all the dignity, rqmslity,
and rip , /as of the FCC Fell &Wee tnehljpaired ! and
that as soon lee thaw objecis arc accomplishrd the
war ought to cease "
fiere wan r. platform upon which the whole
North stood firmly united, and would have re
ntained united, until the end, had it been adhered
to, in good faith. To defend and maintain the
supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve
the Qnion," are the sworn duties of every loyal
citizen; and we do not believe that ten men can
he found at the North so recreant to their
obli
gallons as citizens and AS patriots, as to refuse
their countenance to a war that was forced upon
the Government for these high and patriotic. oh
joeta. And whit- stronger incentives than these
could be needed to call forth the whole energies
and warlike resources of the people? livery
man who acknowledges the supreme authority of
the Constitution, and who believes that the Union
should be preserved, must, of necessity, sub
scribe to anti support the doctrine enunciated in
this resolution. Indeed, it prescribes the true
test of loyally to the Union. No one, we care
not what his professions may he, is a true Union
ist, who does not consider its ameservation the
first, last and only duty of the Government, and
his own first, last and only duty, in supporting
that Government. He who regards the Union as
secondary to any individual opinion or prejudice,
or subordinate to any sectional interest, is the
enemy rather than the friend of the Union: for
when its welfare comes in conflict with the opin
ions, the prejudices, or the interests that he
holds as dearer, what is his frieudehip worth ?
And, we go farther, and say that any man who
is not for the Union as it exists under the Con•
stitution, but. would take advantage of the occur.
rence of an intestine war, to employ means
foreign to and in violation of the Constitution,
for the purpose of destroying the old Union and
establishing a new, based upon principles foreign
to its present frame-work, is as much a traitor
as the acceenionials of the South; for what are
they doing more than attempting, by unlawful
and unconstitutional means, to destroy the old
Union, and erect a new one to suit themselves ?
We have shown that the North wits united, and
how it might have been kept united. What has
divided it? The legislation of the past year,
and the present avowed policy of the Adminis
tration, afford the answer. The solemn declara
tions of the resolution of 1361, have been aban
doned, and the pledges that it gave to the whole
people, North and South, have been perfidiously
violated. Passion and resentment have sup
planted duty and patriotism; the obligations of
the Constitution have been set aside for the sec
tional dogmas of the Chicago platform and the
insane ravings of that arch disunionist, Wendell
Phillips, and his confederates Sumneia Lovejoy,
Stevens anti Greeley the conquest and subjuga
tion of the South are now boldly proclaimed;
and the purpose of overthrowing the rights and
established institutions of the Southern States,
has been officially declared - in unconstitutional
Acts of Congress, and arbitrary Executive Proc
lamations. The dignity, equality and rights of
the several States, even the States of the North,
have been invaded, by the enforcement of mar
tial law over people not in rebellion; by the
suppression of newspapers for daring to exercise
the constitutional right of criticising the acts of
public men and the justice and expediency of
public measures; by the arrest and imprison-
Milt of loyal Citizens without warrant of law,
without formal accusation, and by the denial to
them a speedy trial. The despotic rule now
exercised over "the freest people on earth," is
thus vauntingly avowed by Mr. Seward himself,
in one of his despatches to the British Minister
"My lord, I can touch a bell on my right hard
and order the arrestft a citizen of Ohio. I can
touch the bell again, and order the imprisonment
of a citizen of New York ; and no power on earth
but that, of the President can release them. Can
the Queen of England, in her dominions, do as
much ?"
After such an admission, from Mr. Lincoln's
chief Cabinet officer, who will dare to deny that
we arc rapidly drifting into a despotism?
The resolution of 186 . 1 united the North. Ad
herence to it would have divided the South, and
made the overthrow of the rebellion a compara
tively easy task. Departure fr..ta it has united
the South, divided the North, and postponed
indefinitely the time when the war ought to
cease. For this sad Mato of awaits the Admin
istration alone is responsible, end must render
an account.

For the. Refuting Gazette and Democrat
"What is de Reason mit de Journal ?"
Mt. Getz :—After having tborouzbly examined
the columns of the Journal of last Saturday, I
said to myself: "Why is it that the editor has
left the Clazette's correspondent X unnoticed t"
scareely had this) expression escaped me, when
my "friend," who had just returned from a trip
westward, appeared before me, to whom this
same question was propounded. 110 replied
quite briskly, as follows "That question is
very easily answered. The present editor of the
Journal is Me author of the venomous article, which
I had undesignedly attributed to Mr. Ashman, and
well the editor knows it therefore lee remains si—
lent." I replied: " Come, come, this won't do.
Be a little more guarded with your accusations.
Recollect the charge you recently made against
Aehmun." Ile answered: "I am aware of
it; but I also immediately made a public reir—
tation ; and if the editor of the Journal denies the
imputation, lam ready, in case it should be deemed
necessary, to answer over my own signature." You
may truly believe me, when I say, that I was
pettedly astounded at this announcement; but
my " friend " made the charge with so much
earnestness and sincerity, that I cannot for a
moment doubt the truth of his assertion—as un
likely as it may seem to those who have read the
villainous assaults and denunciations in the Jour
nal against democrats at the present time. The
probability is, that the present editor will plead
in excuse that at the time the scurrilous article
alluded to appeared in the Journal, (tiering the
Mexican War) be was editorially connected with
a gentleman of piety and morality, (for a number
of years an ardent leader at the Union Prayer
Meetings in this city, and never in the slightest
degree owspected of hypocrisy) and that be, the
aforesaid gentleman, was the author, and that
the article was published against his (the present
editor's) will, and that he therefore should not
i be held responsible. It Strikes me forcibly that
it would not be the first plea of Me kind resorted to
by the present editor of the. Journal.
As the "child has at length found is father," I
deem it proper that its "beautiful proportions"
should again be exhibited to your readers most
of whom will scarcely believe that the fathership
is traceable to the present pure and immaculate
otlii , . , of the Journal:
[Er, the Berke need Schuylkill Jeternoti, printed dining
the war with Mexico 3
The pages of history furnish no instance of an
executive officer .90 utterly imbecile and unfit for a
post of honor as the present President of the United
States. GOULD THE GHOSTS OF THE HUNDREDS
AND THOU:4AS us. who have lost their lives by sickness
and the sword in Mexico speak, they would shout
that TH.P.IIt MUILDERF.R. WAS JAMES K.
POLK, and his wretched cabinet When we are
done with this war, and tire amount of blood of
free born Americans shed through his mismanagement
is known; when the immense debt brought upon us
is set forth in dollars and cents; then with his fel
low citizens bewail that day upon which they
cast (heir suffrages for such a man."
Thus spoke the self-righteous editor of the
Journal, at a time when our country was engaged
id a bloody conflict with a merciless foreign foe.
Bat few at that day could rival the editor in
malevolent criticism; and his right to scrutinize
and condemn the acts of President Polk's Ad—
ministration ho would not. allow to be questioned.
He did not fear the power of the President's
officials. And why not ? He knew them to be
Democrats and consequently opposed to all sorts of
tyranny. Alas! how changed at the present
time—since power is placed in the hands of the
Abolitionists.
Would the editor have us to believe, that in
publishing the foregoing virulent invective, he
purposed giving "aid and comfort" to our gallant
soldiers in the army ; or that ho would thereby ,
encourage enlistments? What! his readers
(and no doubt he claims to have had readers
amongst the American soldiers in the Mexican
War) with apparent Beriousnette, eubetantially,
that President Polk, then Commander in Chief
of all the forces in the United States, was utterly
unfit for a post of honor, and a murderer of hun
dreds and thousands of free born American Soldiers,
whose blood had been shed through his mismanaffc
ment; and then again on a recent occasion,
speaking in justification of his conduct at that
time, the editor thanked God that he was, during
the Mexican War ? no " Copperhead."
At the present time the editor of the Journal
brands Democrats as Traitors, Tories.and "Cop
perheads," because, as he is pleased to say, they
are anxiously availing themselves of every means
to bring the General Government into disrespect,
and giving all the "aid and comfort" possible
to the South by the most bitter and vindictive op—
position to the Administration.
I (here to ask the editor of the Journal, wheth
er he can find in any number of the Gazette any
criticism, concernin¢ the present Abolition Ad—
ministration of -Abraham Lincoln, which is one
fourth as venomous and malignant as the article
above alluded La If it can be produced, the
editor will, I trust, in the next Journal, place it
side by side with the above "sweet morsel," so
that his readers can decide for themselves.
Should he refuse so fair a proAkition, he will
stand self-condemned before the community.
Rhode Island Election —A Great
DemoCratiC Gain.
1. ile the Republicans call ,the result of the
recent election in.Rhode Island a "great Union
victory," (meaning thereby Abolition,) if we
glenco over the record of the past we will find
that it is like the victory of Pyrrhus against the
Romans, a few more of which would utterly
overwhelm them.
In 1855 their majority was 8 337
1856 " " " 4 787
1857 " I' " 4,498
1858 " " 4 852
1850 Lincoln's " " 4 637
1868 their " is 2,800
These figures show a clear Democratic gain of
about 2,000, and indicate, unmistakably, that in
Rhode Island, as elsewhere, the power of the
destrucares is waning, that the Democratic
standard is being Adoatieed at every successive
charge, and gives the fullest assurance that at
an early day the Abolition cohorts will be routed
throughout the entire North—horse, foot, and
dragoons. However they may crow over the
result in Rhode Island to keep their courage up,
they no doubt, in their saddened hearts exclaim,
with Pyrrhus, "another such a victory would
ruin me."
