The Message of President Lincoln sug gesting the passage by Congress of a Res olution recommending the adoption of a system of gradual emancipation by the border slave States will be found in anoth er column. In the event of any State or States complying with the reco►ninenda tion, it is proposed that the Federal Gov ernment compensate the owners of the liberated slaves, through the agency of the State authorities. The opinions expressed, by press and people, of this novel project of the Presi dent are as varied as the hues of the cha meleon. Neither conservatives nor radicals regard it as exactly the thing, or as fur— nishing a satisfactory solution of either the enigma of slavery or the difficulties in which the country is now unhappily in volved. 'For ourselves, we are free to say that the scheme strikes us as likely to re— sult in no practical measures on the part of the States interesteir, and consequently in ne practical good to the government, the couutry or the slave. Congress may adopt the Resolution proposed, or some— thing similar, (though even this is ex— tremely problematical,) -but there the thing will stop, as there is not the remotest probability of any of the slave States inaug— urating emancipation, except, perhaps, Delaware. This is our view of the matter, and it is useless to enlarge upon it. If the scheme were likely to end in anything but "smoke," we might have more to say. The President has probably made the suggestion contained in his Message to gratify, in sonie small degree, the violent anti-slavery prejudices of some of his sup- RECEIVED AND OPEN porters.

It was written shortly after the fact, of itself; should soon empty Mr Bull Run disaster, and is full of brag and I PORTER'S shelves, and doubtless will bombast. Among the strange things con tained in this remarkable epistle is the following, which we extract verbatim:— " It was from no fear that the slaves would be liberated that secession took place. The very party in power has propo sed to guarantee slavery forever in the States if the South would but remain in the Union.— Mr. Lincoln's message proposes no freedom to the slave, but announces subjection of the owner to the will of the Union—in oth er words, to the will of the North. Even after the battle of Bull Run both branches of the Congress at Washington passed res olutions that the war is only waged in or der to uphold that (pro-slavery) constitu tion, and to enforce the laws (many of them pro-slavery) and out of one hundred and seventy-two votes - in the lower House they received all but two, and in the Sen ate all but one vote. As the army corn raenced.its march the Commanding General issued an order that no slaves should be receiv ed into, or allowed to follow, the camp. The great object of the wai, therefore, as now, officially announced, is not to free the slave but to keep him in subjection to his owner, and to control his labor through the legislative channels which the Lincoln government designs to force upon the master." lf, as the Rebel Commissioners here de clare, "secession took place from no fear that the slaves would be liberated," what could have prompted the mad underta king? If they were in no fear of their rights being assailed, or their institutions or property being disturbed or interfered with by the Federal Government, what apology have they to offer for their at tempt to break up the Union? Did the set:Lune originate in unhallowed ambition? Did it spring from bitterness and hate for a government which has always and studiously guarded their:rights ? Was it batched by disappointed politicians, whose aspirations had received a check? Or how and why was the insane enterprise set on foot? We would really like to know. If there were no real grievances to com plain of at the hands of the Federal Gov ernment, and no fears were sincerely enter tained by these Southern hotspars of any unconstitutional attempts on the part of the national authorities to meddle with the institution of slavery, why secede from the Union, set up a sew gaveratasat, and take uparma against the old? Asosediag to the showing of these Rebel Commission ers (and we are entirely of their opinion,) there never was a more causeless arid un justifiable rebellion. But, whatever may be the tone and declarations of these men abroad, Jeff. Davis and his followers at home are endeavoring to make very differ ent impressions on the Southern mind.— Every effort has been used and is still being employed to excite alarm and con sternation among the Southern people as to the intentions of the North and of the Federal Government toward their "pecu liar institution." In the fears thus crea ted, and in the morbid sectional hate and prejudice growing out of them, this war, in great measure, originated, and there is little probability of its being terminated until and unless these groundless appre hensions are removed. On this account we sincerely deprecate any and every measure on the part of the Federal au thorities going to confirm the apprehen sions and erroneous idea of the Southern people that this is a war for their subju gation and for the extermination of sla very.

The largest Democratic Convention ever held in this State, assembled at Middletown on the 12th ult. Three hundred and fifty— five delegates were in attendance, repre— senting all parts of the State. A State ticket was nominated, headed by James C. Loomis of Bridgeport, for Governor, and a series of Resolutions adopted re— affirming the unalterable attachment of the Democracy of that State to the Consti— tution and the Union, and announcing their determination to protect and defend them against all enemies, whether Southern Secessionists or Northern Abolitionists.— The proceedings have the "ring of the true metal," and we regret that our limited space forbids their publication. THE NATIONAL TAX. Rear what our Republican cotem— porary of the Pittsburgh Gazette says of the War Tax : "We have no wish to create undue alarm, but we are approaching a crisis in our history that we cannot contemplate without shrinking. We have felt the visits of the tax—gatherer before, but his visits have been as mere trifles compared to what they will be. The Philadelphia Ledger has been making some calculations of the amount each State will have to raise of the national tax about to be laid : The sum to be raised and paid into the U. S. Treasury by New York every year will be $21,344,142; Pennsylvania, $15,- 886,435 ; Ohio, $12,867,701 ; Indiana, $7,- 439,175 ; Illinois, $9,414,643 ; and the other States in the same cheerful ratio.— These are enormous sums, and by no pro— cess which can be devised, can they be col lected without being fell. In some quarters the attempt to collect it will fall little short of confiscation. New England New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey may go through such a tax with the breath of life remaining in them, but it is doubtful whether there is another State, loyal or disloyal, that can go half way through." THE TAX BILL. It is estimated by several members of the Ways and Means Committee, that the direct tax of last session, with the duties on imports and the tax bills just matured, will produce a revenue exceed ing $150,000,000, which is believed to be enough for the wants of the government. The Committee intend to make such changes in the tariff as will produce more revenue from imports. The question of putting a tax on cotton is being discussed. So much of the bill passed at the last session as relates to incomes is re pealed, but the land tax remains un changed. RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. By the report of the Auditor General, we find that the number of persons killed and injured on the railroads of the State during last year was: Passengers, 6 kill ed, 13 injured; employees, 54 killed, 41 injured; others, 58 killed, 34 injured; total, 118 killed, 88 injured.

THE CENTRAL RAILROAD of PENN SYLVANIA--ITS LEGISLATIVE OP ERATIONS, &o. Public attention is awakening to the alarming movements of this gigantic cor poration. This is well. While the press sternly and uniformly does its duty, the people will be timely warned, and they will protect their rights through the potent in fluence of the ballot-box. Corporations may do much good, but they are capable of doing much evil. It must be admitted that the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania has done much to develope the latent re sources of this great Commonwealth, and has added much to the wealth of our people; yet we must not shut our eyes to the fact, that, like the Camden and Amboy Railroad of New Jersey, it is gradually becoming the controlling power of the State, and the dictator of its legislation, in matters relating to its own interests. A brief history of the operations of this great corporation will demonstrate the truth of this position, and will show the necessity of the utmost watchfulness by the people over the Legislature. This Road has had but a comparatively brief existence, and yet it has shown that its power and wealth are irresistible in our Legislative halls. The present is the only Legislature that has seemed to be aware of the necessity of arresting its on ward course to undisputed dominion. Allow me to review, very briefly, a poi- tion of the history of its origin and its doings. The State of Pennsylvania was the owner of a Canal leading from Pitts burg to Philadelphia, which had cost the tax payers of the State the sum of twenty millions of dollars. A company, origina ting in Philadelphia, conceived the idea of connecting the same points by a railroad. This company, composed of shrewd mer chants and capitalists, very naturally con cluded that the Legislature would be re luctant to give them a charter for the con struction of a work intended to be a rival of the Canal in carrying freight, and which would supercede it, so far as the carrying of passengers was concerned.— The value of this work owned by the State would be greatly lessened by the charter of the road company. They knew they dared not ask the State to make this sacrifice of the twenty millions of money, wrung from the hard earnings of the peo ple, without offering some compensation. In this state of things, the company pro posed and agreed to pay into the Treasury of the State a certain per centage on the earnings of the Road as a bonus for the privilege granted by their charter. This per centage is what is known as the Ton nage Tax. Its amount, of course, depends Upon the business done by the company. It has increased yearly as the business of the company increases. In the year 1857 it was a little less than two hundred thou sand dollars—in 1860 it amounted to over three hundred thousand dollars, and would now probably amount to four hundred thousand dollars. Having succeeded in getting from the Legislature its charter, it commenced, al most at once, devising schemes to get rid of the obligations it had assumed as the condition of its success. Its first step in that direction came far short of the pre sumptuous hardihood it has since ventured upon, but not less violative of the let, ter and spirit of its charter. It charged this tax upon the business of our own citizens—that is, increased the price for eaetying freight-for therm to the amount of thia - tax Ipyojad what it domed upon • the business of citizens of other States ( passing ever their road on the ground 'that the Legislature had no right to impose it tax upon the citizens of other States for the benefit of our own State Treasury ! It even went into our courts and asked to have the law declared unconstitutional on these grounds. The company was very properly answered by the courts, that the charter was susceptible of no such con struction as they attempted—that this tax was imposed upon the business—the earn bus of the company from whatever source derived—aud not upon any particular class of its customers, and that this at tempt to discriminate against our own cit izens was a palpable misconstruction of their own, and was not authorized by the charter. This attempt having failed, it next ap proached the Legislature directly and sought to buy a repeal of the charter so far as it related to the payment of the Ton nage Tax. It had no serious difficulty there. The only difficulty was in arrang ing the tams, and the mode. Our Legisla ture, for years, had been notorious for its venality. But although the Representa tives were pliant, the people must be hood winked, and the cunning men who eu gineered this project through the Legisla ture found it necessary to devise a little piece of juggling to cover the scheme.— The sale of the public works of our State offered the means of effecting their ob ject. The corruption in the management of our Canals had created a general de sire among the people to sell them, and thus rid themselves of a festering sore.— This feeling afforded a favorable occasion for the shrewd operators in the interest of the Railroad. The Tonnage Tax had been understood to be imposed, in part, to in demnify the losses to the State Treasury by chartering this Railroad, and, it was argued that the company should become the owner of the Canals, then the original reason for its imposition would be remo ved by the transfer of its ownership to the Railroad. A bill was accordingly pro posed for the sale of the Canals, and away down in the bowels of this bill was insert ed a little proviso to the effect that if the Railroad should become the purchaser, it should pay a certain price (which by the way, in view of its terms and time of pay ment did not amouut to a respectable rent,) and one and a half millions more, but, in consideration of this additional payment the Railroad was to be relieved forever from the payment of the Tonnage Tax, and also, for all time, of any Fax for State and County purposes upon its stock and property ! ! This latter tax amounts to about a hundred thousand dollars per year. It is inconceivable that any Legislature having any sense of responsibility to the people, could have voted for a measure which thus palpably outraged their rights. Yet this measure commanded the votes of a majority of the members of that Legis ture, including a few recreant Democrats. With your permission, I will resume the subject in a future number. CITIZEN. For the Messenger HARRISBURG, March 11, 1862 MESSRS. EDITORS MESSENGER :—The Com mittee to investigate the means used for the passage of the act commuting the ton nage tax on the Pennsylvania Railroad is still progressing, but nothing definite, in respect to its operations, has, as yet, developed itself. That money was used for the purpose of passing that act is as true as that the sun shines at mid-day, but whether the Committee will be able to probe this corruption to the bottom, and find out who were the guilty parties, seems to be doubtful. Such matters are always involved in mystery, and those who per petrate these frauds upon an unsuspecting people, have generally the shrewdness as well as the foresight to "cover up their tracks" as they go. It is true, beyond all cavil, that there never was such a high handed piece of villainy perpetrated in the Legislature of this State. It was robbing the tax-payers of a clean million of dollars without the slightest compensa tion, and, in the next place, it was depriv ing the State of a great source of revenue. But the Legislature of last year was a pliant one, so far as the majority was concerned, and it did not hesitate at any species of villainy, so that thrift might follow. The writer of this well remembers the scenes enacted about the Capitol. The halls were thronged with legislative borers,— members were importuned from day to night and from night to morning to vote for this bill, and they at last accomplished it, by what means the future alone will tell. The Committee are doing all in their power to bring the whole matter to light, and, of course, the Legislature will render them all the assistance possible.— Their proceedings are kept quiet, and it is probably well enough, because, were it made public, the Committee might be frustrated in all their plans. It is, there fore, well enough to say nothing more until matters develope themselves better. This State, according to the news from Washington City, is entitled to another Representative Congress, and the duty of re-districting the State will devolve upon the present Legislature. What course is intended to be pursued r am not at present advised, but there is but one way, and that is to re-district the State. There is no particular part of the State entitled to this extra Representative, and, therefore, to make it entirely satisfactory, it will be necessary to pass a bill re-districting the whole State. Besides this, we all know the gerrymandering character of the Act of last Session ; how members worked in order to get districts to suit their own pur poses, and for the gratification of their own political ambition, and, therefore, in view of this fact, if no other,:it ought to be remodeled. We expect the appropriation bill will be reported in a day or two, and we can then see to what extent the public money is to be appropriated. For several years the annual expenditures have been very large. They may have been necessary, and no doubt were. This year they may be in creased in consequence of the civil war, and the consequent arming and equipping of the soldiery of the State. How this is, we are yet in the dark. A few days will let us know the result to which the Com mittee of Ways and Means have come, when you will be apprised in due time. A proposition is before the Legislature to adjourn on the 21st inst., to meet again in Jane. The object of this is to enable the Committee of Ways and Means to as certain, with accuracy, the taxation bill ! tiToagreas, and the objects of taxation ti: which it contains. Congress, 'however, may fix the whole matter before that time, end ifs% there will be no necessity for adjourn ment. My own judgment is for the Leg islature to do up all the work, and then adjourn sine die. The expense of coming back would, at all events, be saved to the tax-payers of the Common wealth. Certificates have bees sent home of the acts authorizing the Treasurer and,Con stables, of Greene County, to collect the relief taxes, and provide for the families of volunteers ; and the act relating to the Poor House of Greene County. The Governor has required the act re pealing the law requiring the Commission - ers of each county of this Commonwealth to pay one hundred dollars to Agricultural Societies so far as relates to Greene County. The act relative to the publica— tion of the receipts and expenditures has not yet passed, but probably will in a few days. P. D. NOTHING TRUE IN POLITICS BUT DEMOCDACY. The people might as well make up their minds first as last, to restore the Democra cy to position. Their loss of position, lost the country--it can only be restored by their ascendency. The tendency in that direction is but proof of this. With every Democrat called to position, the country breathes more hopefully and con fidently. This every body knows—every body feels. Then why shut our eyes to the important fact? If Mr LINCOLN was, to-day, to dismiss every Republican around him, and call to his advice, Democrats of known faith, there would be a general re joicing throughout the country, and a live ly hope of a better future. The impres sion is very universal that if the Democ racy cannot save this nation—it is gone-- irretrievably gone.—Crisis. On the :Mb ultimo, by William Leon ard, Mr. GEORGE FRY, of Centre township.
