"A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or
compromised. It knows no baseness; it cowers to
so 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."

Subseribets in the West.
We have a large number of subscribers
in the West to;whom we sent accounts sever
al months ago, and who have, as yet, given
them no attention. Will those who have
not remitted the amount due us, be good
enough to forward it by mail, at our risk,
without further delay ? We need the
money to meet our obligations, and ought
to have it at once.

ENGLISH PRINCIPLES AND POLICY.
Recent foreign advices go to confirm the
apprehensions, gravely entertained for
some months, of British interference in
the struggle now waging by the American
people for the preservation of their unity
and nationality. This intelligence neither
surprises nor disappoints us. Few nations
have been more contradictory and incon
sistent in principle and policy than the
English people. With the most liberal
Constitution of any European monarchy—
with the right of suffrage, and representa
ion in Parliament, and with few or no
tisabilities in the way of the preferment
men of all classes and creeds, her sym
pathies should all be enlisted on the side
of human progress and popular institutions.
Her long struggle against tyranny and
prerogative, - beginning long before her
sturdy barons succeeded in wresting the
"Magna Charta" from King John at Run
nymead, continuing on through successive
reigns until it culminated in the Revolution
of 1688, and only ceasing with the practi
cal demolition of kingly authority, gave
promise of a career of devotion to free
government which has not been realized,
and is not likely to be accomplished. In
stead of extending encouragement and
assistance to peoples straggling against
the oppression of their rulers, and striving
to liberalize their governments, she has
wielded her immense influence, consecra
ted her enormous wealth, and at times
well-nigh exhausted her physical energies,
in efforts to consolidate and perpetuate
effete and hateful despotisms. Her policy
during the French Revolution, and towards
the French people when they sought to
throw off Bourbon rule and an effeminate
and vicious aristocracy, illustrates rather
her attachment to arbitrary institutions
than her sympathy for democratic liberty.
Her treasure wiis lavishly expended and
the blood of her sells freely spilt to fasten
, upon the French people a tyranny they
abhorred, and a race of degenerate and
incompetent rulers. Banding with the
despots of Europe, she succeeded, for the
time being, in her object, exiled Napoleon,
and imposed upon the French nation a
dynasty they bad signally overthrown and
cordially despised. The "peace of the
-world" was the specious apology for the
outrage, but its real origin was in her
secret antipathy to governments springing
from the people and asserting and securing
their God-given right of selecting their
own rulers and framing their own insti
-1 tutions.
In establishing and extending her East
i ern empire, in forcing opium upon China,
and in a hundred ways and on as many
occasions, the moral sense of Christendom
has been shocked by the tyranny and ab
sorbing selfishness of the British nation.
The spread of Christianity was her excuse
for compelling the Chinese to receive an
enervating and poisonous drug, while the
preservation of the political equilibrium
of Europe was the declared object of her
interference in the Crimean war. With
her the end always sanctifies the means;
d she is as fertile in apologies for her
utrages as she is unscrupulous in the
eans she employs to attain her objects,
which are always selfish and sinister. The
god of her idolatry is the almighty dollar,
knd she is alike indifferent to human
slavery or freedom, if either lies in the
way of .her own advantage and aggradize
mint and lust of dominion. At one time
pbe has one interpretation of international
law, and at another time a diametrically
different one—at one time is for the "right
of search," and at another against it. Any
doctrine or any policy meets the approval
of her national conscience that fills the
coffers of her people with dirty lucre, or
Frepreada her benign sway over a foot of new
t&erttory. The anticipated want of cotton
_is the pretext set up by the British press
an d politicians for their disgraceful inter-
Siseddling with American affairs, and their
breaking up of the Southern
proposed
blockade. Their vaunted hostility to
slavery is promptly laid aside when it is
likely to work the loss of a few shillings,
and aid and comfort are extended in every
u nofficial and semi-official way to the bold,
.b ad men who are seeking to overturn a
Constitution and dissolve a Union which
has been to us all "a copious fountain of
personal, social and national litippiness."
one, which re4bliies'etrersibium.- - -
least some times brings merited retributions
to mercenary rulers and wicked govern
ments, will determine as well the measure
of English interference as of English chas
tisement. if for once Great Britain does
not regret her unwarranted and unriktht
eons intermeddling with • the concerns of
other governments, we shall not only be
disappointed, but shall despair of the ven
geance of Heaven ever overtaking her.

The measure was clearly unconstitutional,
and the plea of necessity was the only one
urged for its adoption. While we would
be sincerely gratified to see the public
credit maintained and ample means afford
ed the Government for the vigorous prose
cution of the war, we cannot but deprecate
such a palpable infraction of the Consti
tution as this measure involves. Let us
practice ourselves, as well as enjoin upon
others, habitual regard for that sacred in
strument. Besides, as Old NATHANIEL MA
CON used to say, this is essentially a hard
money Government : made so by men who
had seen all the evils of a paper currency,
(in the Continental shinplaster experience,)
and were resolved to guard their posterity
against them; and we should deliberate
long and well before making anything else
than gold and silver a legal tender for
debts. They are the only standards of
value the world over, and it will take a
deal of legislation to supplant them.
We are glad to see that our Representa
tive, Gen. LAZEAR, has put himself right
on the record by voting against the pro
ject. It has not yet come before the Sen
ate, and may be defeated. If it is, we
trust that there will be no trouble in de
vising a better measuse for keeping the
Government securities at par, and raising
the means to push the war to a successful
and early conclusion.
RECORD YOUR DEEDS.
Persons holding Deeds should have them
recorded, if they want to retain an indis
putable title to their property. Disputes
without number, and expensive and tedious
law-suits is twiny instances, grow out of
not having conveyances recorded. For
be it remembered that if a deed is not re
corded within six months after its ac
knowledgement, the person from whom
the property is bought may make a sec
ond and secret conveyance of it, and if the
second deed is first recorded, it renders the
first deed worthless. This leaves the first
buyer no recourse but by suit for fraud
against the party from whom he purchased.
This trouble and many others would be spar
ed pnrchaserEit if they-would immediately put
their deeds on record; and this may be
done at small expense. Let none of our
readers neglect this important matter
longer, if they have conveyances in their
possession.
Many persons are in favor of imposing
a heavy tax on unrecorded Deeds, and
the matter is talked of in the Legislature.
AN OLD HORSE.
"A horse died a few days ago, on
Nathaniel Brownfield's farm, near
Uniontown, which was forty years
old. He was purchased out of one; of
the "Line teams" by Mr. Brownfield
in 1832, for a ten year old horse, and
has been extraordinarily useful until
the last two or three years when he
was permitted to take times easy."
Siiir How Government contractors over
looked the venerable animal above-men
tioned is matter of surprise to us. Per
haps the Democratic politics of his owner
kept him out of the "service."
jfirOne of our old friends and subscri
bers writes us as follows from Peoria,
Illinois :

GLORIOUS NEWS'
The newsfrom the Burnside Expedition
and from the South-west, this week, is
truly encouraging to the friends of the
Union. A few more such blows to the
Rebellion,will hopelessly cripple it, or we
are neither a judge or a prophet.
AUDITOR GENERAL.
COl. ALEXANDER, of the "Clarion Demo
crat" responds to our suggestion of Mr.
PAULEY for the Auditor Generalship in the
following decided and cordial terms:—
WM. T. H. PAULEY.
We most cheerfully subscribe to
the move made by the Waynesburg
Messenger, in favor of Wm. T. 11.
Pauley, Esq., for Auditor General.—
It is due to the county of Greene
that her claims be respected. In the
person of Mr Pauley, we have a gen
tleman in all respects qualified for
the position. Western Pennsylva
nia has the right to a choice and no
county in the State is better entitled
to the man than Greene. If Demo
cratic little Clarion is led by any in
a political point of view it is by
Greene alone. Her valiant Democ
racy never falters, never gives heed
to isms or factions, but on all occa
sions rolls up a majority that strikes
terror to the hearts of the enemy.—
Give us friend Pauley as nominee
with another as popular for Surveyor
General, and the tried and time De
mocracy of the State, now united,
will march onward to victory that
will insure the Old Keystone true to
her former standing as the Most reli
able among the Democratic States of
the Union.
The following article from that
staunch organ of the party the
WayesburgMessenyer, speaks in praise
of Mr. P., as his merits deserve.
[Here follows our editorial on the sub
ject.]
CONSUMPTION-ITS CURABILITY.
The curability of Pulmonary Consump
tion is no longer disputed. In its earliest
stages it is by no means unmanageable,
and frequently yields readily to appropri at e
and energetic remedial agents. It is true
there is no specific against it, but there
are "systems of treatment to be followed
in order to conquer the pathological states
which constitute the disorder." Phthisis,
thus treated, is often cured, and oftener
still life has been greatly prolonged, and
suffering mitigated. Among the eminent
physicians who have made Pulmonary
affections their speciality, and who treat
them with eminent success, Dr. J. H.
SCIIENK, of Philadelphia, ranks with the
very best and ablest. Himself for many
years a Consumptive, and given up to die
by his physicians, his attention was direct
ed to the powerful therepeutical agents he
now employs in its treatment, and under
theieoperation he entirely and permanent
ly recovered his health, and when we last
met him was as vigorous and healthful in
fact and appearance as the most robust
farmer of our acquaintance. Though his
complaint was hereditary, and his father,
mother, brother and sister all fell victims
to Consumption, the Doctor survives them,
and illustrates in his person the curability
of the disease and the marvelous efficacy
of his own remedies. A regularly educated
physician, and a courteous and high-toned
gentleman, he is not to be classed with the
miserable empirics who undertake the
cure of formidable diseases without under
standing their pathology or treatment, and
who kill much oftener than they cure.—
The Doctor is perfectly candid, and excites
no hopes he is not confident the invalid
may properly indulge Of an early and com
plete recovery. Our personal knoWl
edge of his professional character and of
his treatment of Bronchial and Rulmonary
Affections, leads us to recommend Dr.
trENK to Consumptive patients as among
the most successful Lung physicians in the
United States, and as a gentleman entitled
to their respect and confidence. The Doc
tor can be consulted by letter and in per
son at his office No. 39, North Sixth street,
Philadelphia: or on the first Monday and
Tuesday of each month at the Drug
Store of Dr. Geo. H. Keyser, No. 140
Wood Street, Pittsburgh. He also fre
quently visits patients in distant localities
who are too ill and feeble to travel.
THE COUNTY TREASURER.
Mr. RANDOLPH informs parties interest
ed, through an advertisement in another
column, that he will be at his office in
Waynesburg on the Ist and 3d Mondays
and Tuesdays of each month to attend to
his official duties. This will be a great
convenience to persons having business
with the Treasurer.
" LEGISLATIVE OGEE ITPTION."
We have a very sensible article on the
above subject, from one of our correspond
ents, which we are compelled to defer till
next week. It will lose none of its inter
est by the postponement.
Friday last was Valentine's Day.—
Some Abolition donkey sent us his portrait.
His ears are of the usual length, and the
likeness throughout is no doubt a capital
one. If the fellow .1.18 as badly of
"Samba , " as most Inias of the nigger
loving genus do now-a-days, we would not
care much about having him pass between
us and the wind.
IThe Albany Argus truly remarks
that "the treason of . ; Abolitionism is daily
becoming more and more rampant, as
President Lincoln show& a disposition to
prosecute this war on the platform of the
Constitution. The issue is becoming daily
more clearly defined between the President
and the friends of the Constitution, on the
one side, and those who desire to revolu
tionize the government of our fathers, on
the other. Let Democrats and conserva
tive men stand by the President, so long
and so far as he stands upon the. Constitu
tion."

Resolved, That it is indispensably necessary that the outstanding State
and County taxes for the previous years, shall be collected by the incoming
Treasurer duri the current or present year; and that .he be required to
proceed at once to collect the same by suit upon the constables' bonds or
otherwise, so that at the next annual settlement he will ask no credit for

Resolved, That hereafter the County Auditors will require the Treasnrer

TN THE begin ling of the last year, when its present
proprietors assumed control of the Knickel'oocker,
they announced their determination to spar':: no pains
to place it in its true positicin as the 'hailing literary
Monthly in America. When rebeaon had raised a
successful front, and its armies threatened the very
existence of tue Republic, it SS impossible to permit
a magazine, which in its circulation reached the best
intellects in the land, to remain insensible or indifferent
to the dangers which threatened the Union. The pro
prietors according',y gave notice that it would present
in its pages, torcible expositions with regard to the
great questkan of the times—how to prereree the U NITED
STATES cil` AMERICA in their integrity and unity. How
far tkis pledge has been redeemed, the public must
It would, however, be mere affectation to ignore
the seal of approbation which has been placed on these
efforts. The proprietors gratefully acknowledge this,
and it has led them to embark in a fresh undertaking,
as already announced—the publication of the CONTI
NENTAL MONTHLY, devoted to Literature and National
Policy; in which magazine, those who have sympa
thized with the political opinions recently set forth in
the KNICKERBOCKER, will find the same views more
fully enforced and maintained by the ablest and most
energetic minds in An. erica.
The Knickerbocker, while it will continue firmly
pledged to the cause of the Union, will henceforth be
more earnestly devoted to Itteratuie, and will leave no
effort untried to attain the highest excellence in those
departments of letters which it has adopted as specialties.
The Jannary number commences its thirtieth year.
With such antecedents as it possesses, it seems unne
cessary to make any especial pledges as to its future,
but it may not be amiss to say that it will be Mtn of its
conductors to make it more and more deserving of the
liberal support it has hitherto received. The same emi
nent writers who have contributed to it during the past
year will continue to enrich its pages, and in addition,
contributions will appear from others of the highest
reputation, as well as from many rising authors. While
it will, as heretofore, cultivate the genial and humor
ous, it will also pay assiduous attention to the higher
departments of art and letters, and give fresh and spir
ited articles on such biographical, historical, scientific
and general subjects as are of especial interest to the
public.
In the January issue will commence a series of papers
by CHARLES GODFREY I.,PLAND, entitled "Sunshine in
Letters," which will be found interesting to scholars as
well as to the general reader, and in an early number
will appear the first chapters of a new and interesting
Novel, descriptive of American Life and character.
According to the unanimous opinion of the American
press, the Knickerbocker has been greatly improved
during the past year, and it is certain that at no period
of its long career did it ever attract wore attention or
approbation. Confident of their enterprise and ability,
the proprietors are determined that it shall be still more
eminent in excellence, containing all that is best of the
old, and being continually enlivened by what is most
brilliant of the new.
TERMS.—Three Dollars a year, in advance. Two
copies for Four Dollars and fifty cents. Three copies
for Six Dollars. Subscribers remitting Three Dollars
will receive as a premium, (post paid,) a copy of Richard
B. Kimball's great work, "The Revelations of. Wall

Dollars will receive the Knickerbocker and the Conti
nental Monthly for one year. As but one edition of
each number of the Knickerbocker is printed, those
desirous of commencing with the volume should sub
scribe at once.

literature to the soldier an duty, will send a copy gratis,
during the continuance or the war, to any regiment in
