"A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupt or
Compromised. It knows no baseness; ft cowers to
139 danger; it oppresses no weakness. Destructive
only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of lib
erty, labor and property. It is the sentiment of
freedom, of equal rights, of equal obligations--the
law of nature pervading the law of the land."

which are very heavy.
ABOLITIONISM AGAINST LAW AND
GOVERNMENT.
In common with conservative men of all
parties, we have always regarded the Abo
litionists of the North as quite as danger- .
ous enemies to the peace of the country
and the perpetuity of the Union as the
flre-eating Secessionists and slavery propa
gandists of the South. In extreme fanati
cism, in violent and inflammatory appeals
to the popular passions and prejudices,
and in headlong zeal in the propagation of
their pestilent heresies, we are by no
means certain that the Abolitionists have
not been even a little more extravagant
than their Southern allies in the work
of stirring up angry strife and des
troying the Union of our fathers. Re
jecting the Bible as a pro-slavery book,
they have more than once, and on more
than one public occasion intimated a dis
position to "abolish" it; and the great ex
pounders of Abolition doctrines, the mas
ter spirits of this singular organization,
have run into almost every species of irre
ligion and infidelity. Spiritualism, Free
loveism, and other equally revolting forms
of error, are off-shoots of the Abolition
movement, and spring directly from the
peculiar type of mental character and the
peculiar fanaticism in which this misera
ble faction had its origin. Denouncing
the Federal Constitution as a "league with
death and a covenant with hell," these
enemies of good order and good govern
ment have habitually practiced and incul
cated utter disregard of public law, and
contempt for its penalties. They procured
the passage of "Personal Liberty bills"
in-nearly all the Northern States to render
the Fugitive Slave law a practical nullity,
resisted its execution when it was at
tempted to be enforced, and aided, abetted
and encouraged the escape of slaves from
their masters, establishing an "Under
ground Railroad," and spending much of
their time and largely of their means to
assist in the "benevolent" and "philan
thropic" work of negro-stealing. They
have, in some instances, even gone.into
slave communities, and reckless of conse
quences to defenceless white women and
children, have incited or attempted to in
cite insurrections, among the servile popu
lation. Claiming to have a "higher law,"
in their perverted consciences and befog
ged reason, than other people were favored
with, they made it sanction all their irregu
lar and extraordinary and (in some cases,)
highly criminal proceedings. These are
some of the characteristics and these some
of the follies and crimes of fanatical Abo
litionism. Who says there is any thing in
them to commend ? Who says they were
not, always mischievous, and have not con
tributed largely to the causes of the pres-•
ent deplorable civil war? Certainly no
one who is familiar with their teachings
and doings, or who knows aught of the
irritable and excitable character of the
Southern people. Disguise it as we may,
there is no disputing the fact that the acts of
these miserable fanatics have engendered
much of the unreasonable sectional ani
mosity which prevails in the South and
which has armed her deluded people in a
mad attempt to destroy the Federal Gov
ernment and break up the Federal Union.
Not content with having been the in
struments of exciting much of the sectional
prejudice and bad feeling, North and South,
which led to the present deplorable state
of the country, the Abolitionists seem de
termined to control the policy of the Ad
ministration, and if possible convert the war
into a great anti-slavery crusade and ut
terly prevent a reconstruction of the Union
on the old basis, or indeed on any just and
reasonable basis. To this end, they have
for months been finding fault with the
general course of Mr. Lincoln and his
Cabinet, complaining of inefficiency where
none existed, clamoring for the "onward
to Richmond" movement which resulted
in the disastrous rout at Bull Run, de
nouncing the removal of Fremont, and
now urging upon Congress and the Admin
istration the adoption of a chimerical
emancipation project which is beyond and
outside of all constitutional authority, and
which would lose us the border slave
States and incalculably damage the nation
al cause.
But we are glad to know that the .people
and the Administration have been aroused
at last, to some adequate sense of the dan
gers menacing the Government and the
Union from the machinations and fanati
cism of Abolitionists.. Lovejoy, Giddings,
(unison, and their co-laborers, should be
chiseled with the Yanceye, the Rhetts and
Barnwells of the South, and are equally as
hostile to the tile interests of the country
and the restoriktjor of the integrity of the
Union.

His high character for integrity, his fine

GEN. LAZEAR.
Our Congressman, Gen. LAZEAR, is im
proving the Holiday recess of the Houses
by a visit to his family. He informs us
that the Abolition radicals in Congress
have no hope of bringing "Old Abe" to
their extreme, fanatical measures, and
that the President stands firmly by the
policy heretofore pursued on the subject of
slavery. This is a gratifying assurance to
every sincere friend of the Government, and
quickens our hope of an early and auspi
cious conclusion of the War.
THE SUPPER.
The Ladies' Supper at the Methodist
Episcopal Church on Christmas night
passed off to the delight of a large, "mer
rie" and most agreeable company. Old
and staid citizens like ourselves, of solid
gravity and strict propriety, who never in
dulge in a laugh or "soak," were terribly
shocked at the levity of the young folks on
the occasion. Indeed, we never could have
forgiven it had we not found, on our re
turn to our half-starved little ones, that
our generous young friends had provided
amply for their empty stomachs and ex
panded mouths by illing our great coat
pocket with a variety of choice edibles,
"consisting, in part, as follows, to wit:"-
3 turkey shins, 2 wings, 4 chicken necks,
2 pounds, more or less, of "twisted bread,"
as Col. DILL terms dough-nuts, 1 slice of
cold pork, 7 pickles, and a multitude of
delicious trifles. Bon McCoNNELL(consider
ing his lOnely and desolate bachelorhood,)
was tolerably well cared for, and will have
enough to dine him a day or two, but our
better looks and notorious poverty made us
an object of special attention from the ap
preciative and sympathizing beauties of the
occasion. Who wouldn't be a printer
BUCHANAN & LINDSEY.
It will be seen, by a Card in to-day's pa
per, that J. A. J. BUCHANAN, Esq., has
associated our young friend, WM. C. LIND
SEY, Esq., with him in the practice of the
Law. Mr. BUCHANAN is known to our
readers as one of the ripest lawyers and
ablest advocates at our Bar, and has met
with large and flattering professional suc
cess. Mr. LINDSEY is a young gentleman
of fine talents and courteous bearing, and
will make a popular Attorney. The new
firm will give prompt. attention to business
entrusted to them in this and the other
counties of.the District.
THE HOLIDAYS.
We tender our patrons the compliments
of the season. May their paths be smooth,
their health robust, and their cup of joy
full the coming year! May they be free
from corns, evil consciences and importun
ate creditors, and overrun with plenty,
piety and prudence! And may TIME touch
those VERY GENTLY who "remember the
printer."
THE OBJEOTS OF THE WAR.
We re-produce the Crittenden Resolu
tion, adopted by an 'almost unanimous vote
by the House of Representatives on the
22d of July last. It sets forth clearly,
and in dignified and dispassionate lan
guage, the objects of the present struggle;
and as long as the war is confined to these
sacred purposes, it appeals for support to
every man who loves the country and the
Union which has made her one of the
greatest powers of the earth :
Resolved, By the House of Representa
tive of the Congress of the United States,
that the present deplorable civil war has
been forced upon the country by the disu
nionists of the Southern States, now in re
volt against the constitutional government
and in arms around the Capitol ; that in
this national emergency Congress, banish
ing all feelings of mere passion and resent
ment, will only recollect its duty to the
whole country ; that this war is not waged
upon our part in any spirit of oppression,
nor for any purpose of conquest or subju
gation, nor for the purpose of overthrow
ing or interfering with the rights or estab
lished institutions of the States, but to de
fend and maintain the supremacy of the
Constitution and preserve the Union with
its dignities, equalities and the rights of the
several States unimpaired, and as soon as
these objects are accomplished, the war
ought to cease.
ACCIDENT.
One of our subscribers, IsAmp SERIvER,
of Whitely township, met with'a danger
ous accident on Tuesday last. He made a
misstep and fell from the doorstep of DAVID
GOODW IN', of Wayne, striking his head
violently against a stone and producing
concussion of the brain. He received
prompt medical attention from Drs. SHIELDS
and Ilium/it, but we are sorry to say his
recovery is doubtful.
P. S. We regret to learn, since the above
was written, that Mr. Shriver is dead.
LOYALTY AND DISLOYALTY.
Who is sincerely loyal ? inquires the
Providence Post. The man who stands by
the Constitution and the law, or the man
who advocates the overthrow of the Consti
tution and the law, for the sake of gratify
ing his personal animosities ? Who are dis
loyal ? The men who throw every obstacle
in the way of the President, so long as be
continues firm in his determination to be a
Constitutional President? Or, in other
words, the true and faithful Democrats are
sincerely loyal, and the disloyalists of the
North are the Abolitionists. Arguments
from principles and facts, sustain us in our
assertion.

OPINION OF A DEMOCRATIC STATES-
MAN.
A Boston gentleman has just received a
letter from one whom the Boston Courier
mentions as "a distinguished Democratic
statesman of New York." The Courier
is permitted to make the following extracts,
which, it remarks, "cannot be too seriously
pondered:"
"Unfortunately for us all, we are now
actors in a much greater revolution than
that through which our fathers passed so
successfully. When the end will come no
one can predict ; but that, if the war is
conducted on the true principles of the
Constitution, and simply for the Union,
we must finally succeed in establishing our
government over the whole peOple, I can
not doubt.
"On the other hand, if men at the North,
who are justly chargeable with this revo
lution, succeed in converting the war into
one of abolition or emancipation, except
to the extent that such results legitimate
ly follow in the train of war, treating slaves
as all other property is treated, I do not
believe we can succeed in anything but
finally establishing a boundary.
"I believe Mr. Lincoln appreciates this,
and I think :that the good sense of our
Northern people will support him, so long
as the conflict is waged for the unity of the
Government."
SENATOR TRUMBULL ON THE CON
STITUTION.
The Senator from Illinois, in introducing
his bill for the confiscation of rebel prop
erty, made a noble appeal for the Cbnstitu
tion. In this respect, says the. Journal of
Commerce, his speech was an excellent open
ing of the winter debates in Washington,
and it is to be hailed that it will prove a
leading speech, to be followed by all the
Senators, so far as it relates to the prose
cution of the war according to the Con
stitution and law. We do not mean to ex
press an approval of all his views. From
some we dissent entirely, but it is wholly
unnecessary now to express or argue the
particulars of that dissent. The general
principle which he advocates in the follow
ing passages, will be recognized by our
readers as the views which we have main
tained with our utmost ability, and views
which some ardent opponents have actually
stigmatised as "red 'tapeisin" and "trea
son." Corning now from this eminent and
able Republican Senator, we trust they
may make a profound impression on those
who have hitherto refused to adopt them.
Let us stand by the Constitution :
"I want no other authority for putting
down even this gigantic rebellion than
such as may be derived from the Constitu
tion properly interpreted. It is equal even
to this great emergency, and the more we
study its provisions, the more it is tried in
troublous times, the greater will be our ad
miration for the instrument and our ven
eration for its authors. As unpopular as
the avowal may be for the moment among the
thoughtless, I here declare that I ant for sup
pressing this monstrous rebellion according to
law, and no other way, and I believe that
Congress has only to discharge its duty,
and the army perform its with energy and
activity, to bring the war to a speedy and
successful issue. We are fighting to main
tain the Constitution, and it especially be
comes us in' appealing to the people to
come to its rescue, and not to violate it
ourselves. How are we better than the rebels
if both alike set at naught the Constitution ?
warn my countrymen who stand ready to toler
ate any act done in good faith for the suppres
sion of the rebellion, not to sanction usurpations
of power which may hereafter become prece
dents for the destruction of constitutional lib
erty.
But while fighting this battle in behalf
of Constitutional liberty, it behooves us
especially to see to it that the Constitution
receives no detriment at our hands. We
will have gained but little in suppressing
the insurrection if it be at the_ expense of
the Constitution, for the chains which the
bondman wears are none the lighter be
cause they were pressed by his own and
not another's hands. As we expect to
come out of this contest with our flag full
and complete in all its proportions, not a
stripe erased or a star obscured, so let us
preserve the Constitution perfect in all its
parts, with all its guarantees for the pro
tection of life and liberty unimpaired, and
the instrument itself rendered doubly dear
from the fact that it has been sacredly
maintained and proved equal to every
emergency, under circumstances the most
trying to which a nation was ever subject
ed. Then, when this struggle is over, we
will have an assurance that our Govern
ment is stronger than ever before, and that
Constitutional Liberly is established on a
foundation which no human power will
ever be able to subvert."
WENDELL PHILLIPS AND THE CON
ST lIDTICIN.
"Slavery is not dead, but the Constitution
of 1787 is dead and gone," were the words

GER. PHELPS' SILLY ABOLITION
PROCLAMATION.
General P.helps, in command of the ad
vance brigade of our troops at Ship Island,
Mississippi, belonging to General Butler's
expedition, seized the occasion of his occu
pation of said Island for the production of
a very silly abolition proclamation.
It is addressed "to the loyal citizens of
the Southwest," and it opens with the as
tounding declaration that his command
will be governed by the absurd idea "that
every State that has been admitted as a
slave State into the Union since adoption
of the constitution has been admitted in
direct violation of that constitution."—
Now, we dare say that there are not ten
men in the brigade of General Phelps who
will subscribe to any such a fallacy, and
that there is hardlavne man in a thousand
among our six hundred and fifty thousand
Union soldiers who believe in anynuch
nonsense. He next tells the people of Mis
sissippi, Alabama and Louisiana that their
territory is needed for free labor ; that the
people of the North want elbow room, and
that the people of the Southwest, in stick
ing to their abominable institution of sla
very, are standing very much in their own
light.
Not satisfied with all this, he tells the
Catholic creoles of Louisiana that it was
the intolerable despotism of the Catholic
church of France which brought down up
on that country that horrible, ghastly and
sweeping revolution of 1789, with its
Reign of Terror, and that thedespotism of
slavery is quite as grasping and remorse
less as the despotism of a corrupt and pow
erful church. Finally, he informs those
Southwestern people that "all our efforts,
however small or great, whether directed
against the interference of governments
abroad or against rebellious combinations
at home, shall be for free labor,"including
free labor for "the tour millions of Afri
cans" held as slaves our Southern
States.
This beats Fremont all hotlow ; and if
Fremont was instructed by President Lin
cbln to modify his proclamation, by cut
ting out its emancipation heresies, there
can be no doubt that Gen. Phelps will be
required to take down his enormous aboli
tion standard. Gen. Phelps has the repu
tation of an excellent soldier; but he is a
poor stick of a politician. Among Catho
lics he plays the Puritan, among Cavaliers
he is a Roundhead, and he appeals to the
loyalty of slayeholders by flatly informing
them that his mission is to relieve them of
their slave property, and to substitute
free labor; that the war is for this purpose;
that he expects no favors, and does not ask
any
It is a pity that Gen. Phelps was per
mitted to go to Ship Island without specific
instructions from the government. His
proclamation, instead of winning friends
among the people to whom it was address
ed, will increase the number and violence
of his enemies. Gen. Butler, Gen. I)ix,
Gen. Sherman and Gen. Ilalleck, in their
operations among a slaveholding people,
have acted like sensible and sagacious
men. We presume, too, that Gen. Butler,
in assuming the supreme command in
the Southwest, will issue an authoritative
proclamation to the effect that this war
on his part, and on the part of the govern
ment, is not a war for the substitution of
tree labor over the domains of Southern
slavery, but that it is a war for the "integ
rity of the Union," slavery and all, as
guaranteed in the clear and unmistakea
ble compromises of the constitution of the
United States.
Meantime the President, as commander
in-chief of the army and navy, should is
sue at once a general proclamation for the
universal guidance -of our army and naval
officers engaged; or who may be engaged,
in this war. This will avoid any such
faux pas for the future as this very pom
pous, but very silly, abolition proclama
tion of Gen. Phelps.—N. Y.'Herald.
THE ABOLITIONISTS DOWN ON "OLD
fBIC."
The Anti-Slavery Standard publishes an
extract of a private letter from a "distin
guished friend of the anti-slaVery cause,"
which contains the following :
It is more and more evident that Lincoln
is a man of very small calibre, and had
better be at his old business of splitting
rails than-at the head of a government like
ours, especially in such a crisis. He has
evidently not a drop of anti-slavery blood
in his veins; and he seems incapable of ut
tering a humane or generous , sentiment
respecting the enslaved millions in our
land.

DESCRIPTION OF TIIE HUMAN LIVER

and its functions, which will make the operation of
this popular medicine perceptible to every man's un
d erste]) ing. ,
The Liver is supplied with blood-vessels, nerves and
absorbents. One of its obvious uses is to secrete and
prepare the bile. It likewise filters the blood and sep
arates that fluid front all its impurities. How indis
pensably necessary to health is the proper performance
of this function: If the liver is diseased it cannot
purify the blood, and if that is sent back through the
lungs, brain and other parts in a morbid condition, it
must causaundice, biliousness, obstruction of the
kidneys, gruel and many other complaints, more or
less painful and dangerous, but the least of them quite
enough to make a man sick and uncomfortable, and
unlit Ihr the performance of ally of the ditties of life.
This unhealthy state of the system very often ends I.
pulmonary consumption.
The circulation of the blood is conducted in this
manner: The heart sends the vital current down thro'
the arteries, it passes through the flesh, taking up all
impurities in its progress, then the stream of blood
flows backward through the veins and passes to the
liver to be purified. It is impossible to cure coosump
tiou, scrofula, scarcely any other kind of ulceration,
while that important organ, the Liver, is diseased. It
is far that reason that reg , ,vlar physicians rarely cure
consumption. They usually begin their treatment
with the use of some cough medicine, the base of
which is morphia or opium in some shape, which locks
up the liver, instead of relaxing the secretions, giving a
tone to the stomach, at. d producing a healthy flow of
bile.

will strengthen the system, purify the blow!' end ripen
and heal ulcers on the lungs.
In tuuerculous consumption, where the stomach aed
liver is generally in a tolerably healthy condition, the
laionie Syrup alone will root out all impurities of
the blood, and restore the patient to health, if the
cavities in the lungs are not too deep. But where con
sumption originates, as two-thirds of the cases do in
this section of the country, sympathising front a torpid
liver or disordered stomach, it requires the Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, in connection, to bring
theta in action- -then the Pulmo Mc Syrup seems to go
or di , solve into the blood, and thus throw out all im
purities; then consumption and scrofulous diseases
must yield to those medicines if properly taken. They
have cured thousands, and other thousands are now
being cured by them. SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE
PILLS are doing. more to regulate the stomach and
liver than any other medicine invented. Thousands
are using them now, in this city and elsewhere, and
every One is astonished m their good effects. When
the diseased state tit' any part of the body requires
purgatives. these Pills always reach the seat of the
disease. They are as harmless as bread, but far more
powerful than i atom& .r any other mineral poison in
their curative el - Pets. Almost every clay some person,
who has been cured by them, comes to Dr. Schenck's
office and relates the wonders they have perbirined.
From some persons they have expelled large worms;
from others morbid matter, and from others again,
clear bile.

In certain cases, persons who had been ill fora long
tittle with diseased liver—skin shallow, tongue coated,
bowels costive, breath offensive. &c., were restored to
health and the perfect enjoyment of lite, by the use of
this medicine. Some who were thus relieved had be
come so dull, drowsy, or lethargic that they scarcely
had energy enough to move hand or foot.
In such cases, the ailment is often caused by worms.
Hy using sCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS, the
stale bile and corrupt matter which constitute what
are called the "worn's' beds" are worked off, and the
worms themselves pass off with them. Some weeks
ago a lady told Dr. Schenck that she had taken the
Pills for liver complaint, but to her surprise, the medi
cine brought away several worms, each about ten
inches in length.
An old gentleman, of Baltimore, who had been in a
wretched condition for a long time took the SEA
WEED TONIC and MANDRAKE PILLS, after which
be passed thousands of small worms (ascarides,) and tie
is now perfectly well.
A volume would be required to give a brief account
of the remarkable cures performed by DOCTOR
MCHENCK'S MEDICINES, viz: PULMONIC SYIb
UP. SEA-WEED TONIC and MANDRAKE PILLS—
aII of which are accompanied by full directions for the
use of them. Dr. SCHENCK has a suite of rooms i■
each of the large cities where he has an extensive prac
tise. All persons who wish to consult with him, will
