Gen. Tom Thumb
Is o be io Stroudsburg, to-morrow, the

great curiosity. Several musicians accom

SECESSION.
The Rebels of tbe Cotton States arc vc
ry active io establishing their Negro
spreading Kingdom They on the 18th
instant, inaugurated Jefferson Davis o
Mississippi, President of what they cal
the "Confederated States of Ainerioa,"on
which oeoasion an inaugural address was
delivered, in which the Federal Govern
ment is set at dcGance, and the future
power and greatness of their bastard re
public are depicted in flowing colors.
This same man Davis a few days ago
talked in a conservative tone, but now he
cuddeolv srrows bold, and menacingly
flourishes bis sword at the powers that be
Tic declared the right to secede is un
doubted, and that any attempt on the
part of tbe North to io any manner inter
fere with the construction and prosperity
of their Confederacy will be met by the
pword. This discloses tbe fact that the
Rebels rather desire and expcot war,
aud renders it necessary that the Feder
al Government bhould resort to such
measures as will ensure it against subju
gation to the slaveholders' illegitimate rc-J
belliou" Republic.
If this Government is maintained, if it
is not surrendered to the traitors, the
policy of the incoming Administration
must, and we believe will be, to hold on
to all the Federal property, to control all
the ports of entry, and, in short, to be
master of tbe commerce of the Nation.
Otherwise the Government will have
pro7ed itself a rope of sand; the traitors
will have vindicated their rebellous con
duct, and have established the right to
secede at will from the Uoion, with or
without jut provocation, all of which was
foreign to the dei-igo or wish of the foun
ders of the Government. Their intention
was to render this a strong and prrpetu
al Government. One that should be am
ply able to maintain itself against all as
saults from foes without, or from traitors
or rebels within. The only question now
13, i-bll this Government be preserved
and-perpetuated, or shall it be destroyed.
If it is maitaioed and perpetuated, tbe
rebeU taust be treated as traitors, not as
conquerors, as a compromise at this crit
ical time would declare them to be.
When order shall have been restored, and
rebellion subdued, if it then shall appear
necessary to alter or amend tbe Constitu
tion, Jet it then be done in accordance
ith the provisions of that instrument.

Eiiton, Pa., Moniay, Feb. 18, 1661.
A very lnrc and enthusiastic meeting
of a-ecbauics and workingmen was held
here to-night. Long before the hour fixe,d
upon for organizing, tho Court House
was jammed; hundreds was unable to get
into the building.
The meeting organised by calling John
J Otto to the chair, eur ported by a large
number of Vice-Presidents. Oo taking
the cbair the President stated that the
meeting was called to adopt measures in
favor of enforcing the laws, and that none
but workiugmcu would be allowed to par
ticipate. Strong resolutioni were reported and
unanimously adopted iu favor of the Con
-titution and the enforcement of tbe laws,
denouncing Scccssiou and declaring a
gain.-t all compromises.
Ablo and patriotic speeches were made
by Feveral.
Tho meeting adjourned at a lato hour
with cheer upon cheer for the Union.
great -iuiilarity has often been
noticed betwt-cn the utterances of Mr.
Lincoln and tbose of Henry Clay. Take,
for instance, the subjoined extract from a
speech which Mr. Clay delivered in the
Scmte in 1550, in reply to Mr. Dawson
of Georcia:
"Now, Mr. President, I stand here in
my place, meaning to be uuawed by any
threat.-, whether they come from individ
ual or from States. I should deplore,
as much as any man living or dead, that
srius should be rai.-t d against the author
ity of tbe Union, either by individuals or
by States. But, after all that has occur
red, if any one State, or a portion of the
people of any State, choose to place them
selve- in aulitary array again-t the Gov
eminent of the Union, lam for tryingtlve
strength of the Government. I am for as
certaining whether we bavo a Govern
ment or not practical, efficient, capab!
of maintaining its authority, and of up
holding th- power and interests which
belong to a Government. Nor, Sir, am
I to be alarmed or dissuaded from any
such course by iutirtatious of the spilling
of blood If blood is to be spilt, by
wbo;-e fault is it! Upon the suppo-ition.
I maiutain it will be the fault of those
who choose to raie the standard of Dis
union, and endeavor to prostrate the Gov
ernment; and, Sir, when that is done, so
long aE it pleases God to live me a voice to
express my sentiment, or an arm, week
aud enfeebled as it may be by age. that
voico and tbat arm will be on the side of
my coustry, for tbe support of the gene
ral authority, an 1 for the maintenance of
the powers of this Union."
Dopsn't this read like Mr. Lincoln's ad
mirable speech at Indianapolis! or like
that at Pittsburgh!

(g5"Col Forney said in his pecch be
fore the Union meeting in Philadelphia:
"Utval war is to be deprecated, but
when the argument has been exhausted.

letter just published by old ban Jacinto

"Such is old Sam. We hope he wil

In Nothing has Custom changed more
than in .tne Treatment; oi me aiu.
But a little while ago bleediug, blisters,
cathartics, and emetics formed the staple
of medical treatment. It was customary.
to give;large doses of the niofct active and
poisonous medicinrs, and not unfnquent-
y a man's reputatiou depended upon the
size of his doses. Among the people ca
thartics and emetics were common, aud a
dose of pills wop -the prescription for al-
uio-t every imaginable ailment.
There wm an undeur.ed idea that disease

was a material soiumuiug mv.u m
accountably got mto a mau, and must be
nhvsicked. bled, bli-tered. or sweated out
of him. It was a sort of material bewitch
ery", which must be exercised and cast
out.
But all this is ndw bravely altered.
rhe mildc-t mean are most popular.
flic lancet oud blister plaster are almost
unknown. All the torturing adjuncts oi
old-school practice are mainly laid aside,
ud nature, not physic, is relied upon
while physicians now often boast how lit
tle medicine they give.

Vmnno those who have contributed to
this change Prof. HUMPHREYS stand.-
nro-eminent. His extensive advertise-
incuts and writing-, the very general m
troduction of his Specific Homcoputhic
Remedies, and their unquestioned surct-ss,
have demonstrated practically the cura
tility of disease by the mild sugar pill do
ses, while he has gained an cmiablc rep
utatiou by the succesi of his system.
The arguments of Homeopathy may or
may not be sound, but its practical suc-
cess in the torm ot or.eciucs is neyonu
question, and its influence in forming t
better public sentiment not less decided
An important essiaiate of the various
nronositious to restoro tho Democratic
arty to power by means of a new Com
prooiise to be made with Slavery by the
Hi publicans, is set forth in the following
passage of a letter from Mr. beor c rea
body, the rest London banker, to a cor
respondent in Boston :
"I cannot conceal from you the fact
that tho Credit of tho United States Gov
ernment is now on trial in Europe. By
the last steaacer we hear of plans of con
cession and compromise with tho?e who
arc openly defying the laws. sow, it
not utv nurr.osc to discu-s tbe merit or
the motive of any of theso projects, but
I must tell you that if jour Government
entertains any plan of concession at the
present moment if it have to purchase
the permission to peacefully inaugurate
the lawfully-elected President its credit
will receive a fearful biow in Europe.
You must expect to have Federal stock
sent back in large quantities from En-'
land and the Continent. Piople will not
tru-t a government which, when it-i foun
dations are attacked, instead of uphold
iog law and order, compromises with
traitors. . We had enough of Peruvi
and Mexican bond, and shall be careful
not to retain those of a government whose
policy is conct-ssiou to narchy."
f h' re can be no doubt that this h per
fectly true. Nothing could be so ruioou
to th credit of any Government, and es
pccially of such a Governi-nt as our-, a
huyio2 off rehelliou. If. we succumb to
the traitors, or to tho-o who threaten io
become such unless we simply prove that
I, our Government is worthless; and, 2
that we ourselves arc more worthless than
the Government. -It is only by staudin
for the Union, the Constitution and th
Enforcement of the Laws, without coudi
Hons, and without compromise, that we
can hone either to preserve our self res
pect-or the respect of other .nations.
gfMr. Thomas Hutchinson of Boyl
County, Ky.. lately ti.-ited Mr. Linool
at Spriug5eld. and in reply to the quci
tion what was tho feeling of Keutuek
concerning the Pro-Slavery rebellion, an
swercd that tho people of that State were
for the Union, but that they would re
gard any movement of coercion as a deo
laratiou of war. To this statement Mr
Hutchison reports Mr. Liucolu as reply
iog, emphatically:
"If Kentucky means to say that if th
Federal Government undertakes to recap
turo tho Southern forts and collect the
revenue, and war ensues, sho will unit
with the South, let her prepare for war.
This is tho true doctrine. Those wb
pretend to believe in tho Union, and yet
declare themselves ready to fight for th
pretended right of Secessiou, may as we
unuerstand tht the case is a serious one
If there h a right of Secession, there is no
Government. They who-assert the one
deny the other; while the Federal Exccu
tive, whoie members are solemnly sworn
to fulfill the duties of a Government, mu
in obedience to the sacred obligations
their oaths, begin by demonstrating that
there is a Government. This is Mr.
Linooln's duty, and it is also, thank God!
his inflexible determination; nud we- may
be sure that there will be no sham, no
false pretenses, iu his mode of treating
the subject.
Another Onset on Gov. Hicks.
Judge Lo Grand, a prominent Mary
land seeeH-ionist, paid a visit, a few days
a,jo, to Governor Hicks, in order to in
duco him to call a Convention. Being,
however, unable to niako any impression
upon the mind of the old Governor, he
finally tried the same game which the secessionists-
hae been playing successful
ly on Mr. Buchanan. He" asked the Gov
ernor whether be was quite sure that, in
tho event he should continue to be deaf
against the clamors of tho advooatea of a
Convention, an attempt upon his life
would not ho made. The Governor
quietly replied to tho astonished Judge
that, if he had forty lives to lose, ho would
lose them all before ho would call a Con
vention. The' Judge then left
