WHO ARE TO RESTORE THE UNION?
It grows more and more palpable, daily,
that the restoration of the Union of our
fathers, and the preservation of the Con
etitution in its letter and spirit, is to be the
appropriate work of the National Democ
racy. The Republican party, with its er
roneous and dangerous views of the rights
and powers of Congress over the question
of slavery, and with its decided abolition
proclivities, is utterly unfitted for the ulti
mate and satisfactory adjustment of the un
happy sectional difficulties which led to
the present war. Its leaders, at least,
however it may be with the masses of the
party, are in familiar association and un
disguised sympathy with the Wendell Phil
lips' fanatics, who canonize John Brown,
and who oppose any reconstruction of the
Union that would preserve and secure to
each and every State the rights guaran
teed them by the existing Constitution.—
Only a few days since, when Phillips har
angued an audience in the Smithsonian
Institute at Washington City, newspaper
correspondents inform us that Vice Presi
dent HAMLIN, Senator SUMNER, and all the
"big guns" and oracles of Republicanism
figured conspicuously in the crowd, and
applauded the insane ravings of the speak
er.
"Straws show which way the wind •
blows," and there is no mistaking the di
rection the opinions of prominent R,epubli
cans is taking in the present crisis. They
are gliding, obviously and rapidly into
the fanaticism of the Helpers, the Love
joys, and the Beechen, and will soon be
prepared for any project, however mon
strous and indefensible, which may be pro
posed by the zealots who have been labor
ing for years for the abolition of slavery
andthe dismemberment of the country, for
they seek to effect the one by the accom
plishment of the other. They were-the first
faction in the country, (for until recently,
they have been too contemptible in num
bers to be styled a party,) to propose and
petition for a dissolution ofthe Union, and
they will be the last to abandon the mad
undertaking. What care they for the fun
damental law, if it is interposed between
them and negro emancipation ? What for
the public peace and the national prosper
ity ? "Better have national ruin, and
neither Constitution nor Union," they are
bold enough to say, "than negro slavery;"
and they multiply their disloyal expres
sions, and urge their treasonable schemes
with unblushing effrontery and dogged ob
stinacy. The unfitness of such men for the
work of restoring the Union, and bringing
the country back to their ancient harmo
ny, is too manifest for comment ; and it is
equally true of any party that holds to their
dogmas, in whole or in part, or partakes
of their spirit.
It remains, then, for the Democratic
party to apply itself to the august and re
sponsible duty of perpetuating the Consti
tution and the Union as they came from
the hands of the fathers, and as they exis
ted before the breaking out of the rebellion.
Thorough knowledge of our political sys
tem, of the true sphere and scope of Fed
eral authority, and uniform respect for the
rights of the States and the people, qualify
it pre-eminently for the great task before
it. Its patriotism knows no limits but the
confines of the Republic,—its policy has
laid broad and deep the foundations of our
national prosperity, while its justice to all
sections and to all interests has alone preser
ved us, for over fifty years, from the perils
and terrible scourge of intestine war. It is
!QUAL to the work before it, and it will dis
charge the high obligations it imposes
with IMPARTIAL FIDELITY,

A decidedly sensible editorial brother in
an adjoining county, drops the following
judicious hints to persons having merchan
dise or property to sell at public outcry.—
Follow his counsel if you want fair prices
for your traps
Now, reader, don't imagine that we are
speaking one word for you and two for our
selves; in fact, it is just the reverse. While
we may make fifty cents or one dollar by
getting your bills to print, you may make
ten, twenty or fifty dollars more on the sale
of your effects, by having your bills print

People walk, talk and do business fast.—
To stop a man of business you must pre
sent something attractive to his eye. Ten
men will stop to read a large printed hand
bill, where two atop to read a written one.
A small piece of white paper will not at
tract attention as quick as a large piece of
bright color, neither are light pen strokes
as attractive or easily read as large, clear
type. Men now-a-days want something
they can read as they run. It often takes
ft man as long to find out the time of sale
on a written hand-bill, as he could read
the contents of two printed ones. By

SenatorCowan has received much abuse
froni the ultra press of the country fbr his
late speech upon the confiscation bill of
Senator Trumbull. His speech, however,
has been endorsed by the President, his
Cabinet, a large majority of the leading
lawyers and statesmen of Pennsylvania,
while Senator Collamer, Fessenden, Doo
little, Browning and Clarke have expres
sed upon the floor their hearty concurrence
therein ; while he has the confidence of
such men, he can await the ultimate en
dorsement of his course by the whole read
ing community. So says a Washington
correspontdent, and "so we say all."
OULTrVATION OF CHINESE SUGAR
CANE.
The monopoly of cotton growing is not
the only Southern interest likely to be im
paired by the present secession mania.—
Tobacco will be grown and manufactured
to a considerable extent outside of the sa
cred soil of Virginia, and sugar, even more
largely in demand, will be made in the
North in sufficient quaintities for home
consumption, if the present high prices are
of long continuance. The manufacture of
sugar from the Sorghum, or Chinese su
gar cane, has been carried on to a limited
extent for a year or two past, in one or two
Western States, but it is now attracting
general attention among leading agricul
turists in the States of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois. The last number of the National
Agriculturist contains seven or eight col
umns of articles relating to this subject,
mainly communications, from parties en
gaged in the cultivation of the cane.
A letter from Blymer, Bates & Day, of
Mansfield, Ohio, recommends the selection
of good seed as a most important point ;
and saving afterwarcrs the best canes,
sprouting the seed by soaking itin hot wa
ter, and roling in plaster, is urged to gain
from one to three weeks in the beginning
of the season. It should be planted on
good wheat land, or sandy loam, in rows
running North and South, and three and a
half to four feet apart. The cane until
jointed must be kept well tilled, and clear
of grass and weeds.
The best time for harvesting is when
three-fourths of the seed have fully ripen
ed, and if not immediately ground, the
stalks should be kept in a barn or shed, as
the juice will ferment if they are allowed
to be in the sun. The canes should be
stripped of leaves and tops—which con
tain no sugar—cut in two in the middle,
and are then ready to crush.
If the object is to obtain sugar, the butts
and tops should be worked separately, the
buts containing much more sugar than the
tops. Pass the juice through a common
meal sieve into a juice tank, and allow it
to run into the evaporator in a continuous
stream. Beep the sides of the evaporator
well skimmed, and when the syrup in the
last channel has become thick enough to
weigh 11 or 12 lbs to the gallon, let it run
into a shallow trough, and as soon as you
have got a depth of five or six inches, set
it immediately into a warm room, kept at
a temperature of not less than 80° by a
thermometer. Never allow the syrup to be
come chilled through. If it has been care
fully skimmed it will crystalize in 24 to 48
hours.
When crystalized it should be put into a
strong linen sack, and well pressed, to
bring the sugar out dry and lively. If in
tended for sugar, put no chemicals in the
syrup, as it will crystalize as well, if not
better, without them. An analysis of the
Sorghum plant shows its component parts
to be : Water, 70, sugar, crystalizable, 75,
unchristalizable, 5.5, fibre, albumen, fatty
matter, and cerose, 16.463, silica, 062,
chlorine, sulp. acid, phosphoric do., carbo
nic do., potash, lime, and magnesia, 475.
A premium of $25 offered by the Illinois
State Sorghum Convention, brought out
ten samples. It was taken by Mr. J. H.
Smith, of Adams county, whose sample
was taken from a lot one ton in weight,
which, with forty five gallons of molasses,
was the product of one acre of cane. If our
farmers were to make Sorghum an article
of more general cultivation, it might be
found to pay quite as well as the ordinary
cereals.
PARENTS, LOOK to YOUR ORIEDREN.
We fear that the parents in this bor
ough are incurring a fearful responsibiliy
in the matter of family training—a re
sponsibility that will have to be met and
answered. We doubt if there is a town
in the country, situated as ours is, where
boys of from six years old and upwards
spend so much time on the street. On the
street almost every night as late as nine
and ten o'clock small boys may be seen.—
The parents either don't know, or don't
care to know, of their whereabouts. The
street—and particularly the street at night
—is the high-school of vice, and the
scholars are graduated early. Boys eight,
nine and ten years of age smoke cigars
with the air of men, and swear by rule.—
Smoking, profanity, and worse vices, are
the legitimate fruit of night street loafing.
The Sabbath, too, is openly desecrated by
boys, They rendezvous on the corners,
and loaf upon store-boxes, to the annoy
ance of church-goers. The evil is on the
increase, and unless checked will bring
down the vengeance of Heaven upon those
parents who wilfully shut their eyes to the
fact.
Ministers should preach upon the sub
ject; the press should speak out; and the
borough authorities should take action on
it. If parents will not restrain their chil
dren, the public authorities should make
examples of the boys themselves, for un
less something is done, and that speedily,
crimes committed by these juveniles will
one day startle a community into a proper
realization of the evil.— Washington Exam

ifirThat's our opinion.
Tax Detroit Free Press thinks the time
has come when the Republican party must
cast off Abolitionism—when it must de
clare for the Constitution or against it.—
Until it does so the Democracy have a
right to hold it responsible for all that Ab
olition has done to produce rebellion. A
political warfare against the rebels is no
longer necessary. It is simple nonsense—
waste of ink and paper. The army fights
them. The only political fight which re
mains for the North is under this very is
sue—Abolition or Union, treason or loyal
ty, the Constitution or no Constitution.—
This is the real issue ; and the first and
holiest duty of every citizen is to tear the
mask pf patriotism from the faces of the
extremists, and to expose them to infamy
as co-conspirators with Davis and Floyd ;
as the authors of schemes which, if suc
cessful, will extirpate liberty from this
continent.

air The subjoined letter from a young
lady friend will be read with interest by
her Waynesburg acquaintances, who will
be pleaeed to learn of her safe arrival at
her "Prairie" home :
BULKLEY, IROQUOIS CO., ILL., I
March 12th, 1862.
DEAR MESSENGER: You and your numer
ous admiring readers will, to doubt, be
delighted to hear of my safe arrival at
home on the 3rd inst. I had a pleasant
journey, and found the West enjoying the
mingled delights of snow, sleet and wind.
As the train leisurely emerged from the
wooded swamps of Indiana on the far
reaching, icy plains of Illinois, I was re
minded of descriptions I had read of Sibe
rian deserts, and other similar jolly re
gions.
"How do folks get anything to eat so
far off from anybody or anything ?" ex
claimed an old lady who had been obser
ing the dingy, disconsolate, pine board
huts that lined the way at lonesome inter
vals. "They don't," snarled a lean, sulky
looking hoosier, "when they gets hungry
they just go out to the corn crib and gnaw
a cob." "Du tell !" said the old lady.
I expressed to a friend whom I met on
the train, some doubts as to my being able
to exist in this savage country, after ex
periencing several months of civilization.
"Ma panvrette," he said feelingly, "bread
and butter will keep you alive. Mean
while you'd better drown your sorrows in
the flowing bowl." He produced a decan
ter of pale, amber-tinted catawba, and I
was staid with flagons, and comforted with
apples till my spirits rose, and I was able
to meet with grim defiance the insolent
blast that smote me in the face, and toyed
more familiarly than was agreeable with
my drapery, as I stepped from the cars at
the town of my destination. Before the
platform stood a solitary farmer, whom I
recognized as a neighbor of my father. I
asked him how he was? He fixed on me a
vacant, stony stare, sighed deeply, and re
marked in hollow voice, "corn's a dime a
bushel." As I passed on up the street, I
met another acquaintance, of whom I
made the same inquiry. He caught my
hand and wrung it almost off, while he
joyfully exclaimed, "Pork is riz!" I was
deeply perplexed. Had I forgotten the
language of these people, or did I drown
my senses along with my sorrows, in that
single gill of delicious pale catawba?
I stated my embarrassment to a lady
friend. She informed me that my accent
was in no way impaired, but that I had
been oblivious of the etiquette of the coun
try. It is customary first to ask the price
of those important staples, corn and pork,
when you are at liberty to inquire after
the health of your friend and his family.
I find here a deeper and more intense
feeling concerning the war than exists in
Waynesburg—probably for the reason that
all the men who have gone from this
county are engaged in active service, and
that the horrors and dangers of war are
brought home to us. Two companies of
our volunteers were at Ft. Donelson, and
a third figured in the late battle in Arkan
sas. The most painful anxiety is felt by
the friends of the latter, who are yet igno
rant of their fate. Oh, the untold miseries
of this dreadful contest! The loving
hearts at home that bleed and smart for
every soldier's wounds—the hearts that
will ache on, and in their aching break
long after the last mangled victim has
ceased to suffer 1 The soul sickens to
think of them. What punishment too se
vere can be inflicted upon the miscreant
crew whose base ambition has been the
means of bringing all these Litter woes

TO THE PUBLIO.
Mews. Jones & Jennings: In reply to a
report which has become quite current, and
which had its origin in personal malice, I
wish to state a few plain facts to my fel
low citizens through the medium of your
columns.
In the first place, I wish to remark that
I have been charged with saying, in the
presence of a respectable lady, " that the
Poor House would soon be done, when the
soldiers' wives could be taken care of
there." It appears that this falsehood and
slander has brought on me a long train of
personal abuse and threats. My enemies
have ransacked their catalogue of slang,
and out of their ample stock have selected
their vilest epithets to hurl at my devote d
head, and have even gone so far as to
threaten me with "Judge Lynch." No w,
I have never made use of any such lan
guage as is attributed to me, either in jest
or in earnest. "Out of their own mouths
they shall be . condemned," for the same
lady to whom they say I made the remark,
herewith files her statement to the contra -
ry.
Party prejudice, I doubt not, had a great
deal to do with originating and spreading
this atrocious calumny, for I find I am
not the only one slandered, but scores and
hundreds of other Democrats are bitterly
abused, notwithstanding the organization
to which they belong is largely represented
in the rank and file of the artily, and many
of the best officers in the field belong to
that brave old party—a party which has
stood manfully by the Union and Govern
ment in and through every peril that has
threatened them, and poured out its best
blood in their defence. While Democrats,
in common with men of all parties, are
cheerfully and honestly laboring to meet
all the Government, State and county de
mands, and are doing all they can in sup
port of the war, and of the families of vol
unteeers, furnishing their wives with wood
and coal, doing their milling, &e., it ap
pears very ungenerous and unkind that
alum should be employed, where thanks are
justly due.
Now, I am not opposed to the relief tax,
and never was, but think it a good law, if
the money is judiciously applied. The
charge that I am opposed to the relief sys
tem is as false and groundless as the other
charge brought against me. .
It is not enough for certain individuals
to heap their vile epithets on me, but they
go still further, and show their malice by
throwing out slurs about my family. I
paid no attention to all this, so long as it
proceeded from low and grovelling charac
ters, "considering the source," (as the per
son said when the donkey kicked him,) and
thinking no person of good sense or good
standing would even listen to it, but with
in a few days I find there are more knaves
or dupes than I had dreamed of, and truth
and justice require me to vindicate myself
from the foul aspersion sought to be cast
upon me. This Ido by the certificates I
append to this communication.
I see in the " Republican " of March
18th., a letter from Rev. J. N. Pierce,
Chaplain of the 85th Regiment Pennsylva
nia Volunteers, who has either been sadly
misled and deceived, or else has stooped a
great way below his sacred calling. Surely
no man of even ordinary discretion, much
less a Christian minister, would circulate
reports to the injury of his neighbors with
out first informing himself of their truth
and credibility, unless he is the dupe of
the designing. Mr. Pierce says in the let
ter I refer to:
"The Greene county boys have been
made sad by some very unkind and unpa
triotic remarks, reported to have been
made by citizens of Greene county, concer
ning the wives and children of the soldiers
from that county, now in the army. It
seems some have gone so far as to say that
they would try and keen the aforesaid
wives and children from starving during
this winter, and in the spring they would
have the poor house ready, where they
could keep them at very little expense."
Now, in my bumble opinion, the Rever
end gentleman, before giving currency to
such reports through the columns of a pub
lic journal, should first have written pri
vately to ascertain their truth. Although
such stories went to camp, so far as they
relate to myself (and I doubt not to others)
they are base and malicious fabrications.
Read the certificates below.
Respectfully yours,
I never heard Mr. D. T. Ullom, nor any
of his family, say that the wives of the sol
diers should be put in the poor house, nor
never heard any one say that they would
try and keep them from starving during the
winter, when, in the spring, the poor house
would be done, where they could be kept
at very little expense ; nor I never told
Mrs. Betty Grimes, or Mr. John Lightner
that I ever beard Mr. Ullom, his family,
or any one else say any such thing ; although
I understand they say I did at a certain
time at which time, I can prove therewas
no such language made use of, nor so such
conversation whatever.

Mr. John Lightner says that the day I
was drawing Maria L. Gladden's fodder,
Maria L. Gladden remarked to Hetty

were no such words uttered in my presence,

9n auneh'unon tlitio read. g
of Jackson's Proclamation to the
people of South Carolina in the Penn
sylvania Legislature on the 18th of
March, Mr. TATE (Columbia) was
called upon for a few remarks, to
which he responded as follows :
MR. SPEAK= :-I concur with the
gentlemen to whose kindness I am
indebted for courtesy of the House,
that a brief reference, at least, is due
the name and fame of the departed
patriot and statesman, whose living
admonition and undying legacy we
have just been called upon to thus
publicly celebrate.
Near and dear to the American
people is the name of Andrew Jack
son. We do well to-day to turn
aside for an hour from the legitimate
business of legislation, to hear the
admonitions and warnings of one
who, though dead, yet speaketh.—
May we long treasure his wise coun
sels, and practice his wholesome pre
ceptrs.
11T
. Speaker, I am clearly of the
opinion that, had we observed the
teachings of the sterling "Sage of
the Hermitage," to which we have
just been listening, our beloved coun
try would to day have been at peace.
I agree with my patriotic friend of
Philadelphia—the Hon. Mr. Dennis
—who remarked in his able defence
of Gen. Jackson, upon the 13th of
last February, when I had the honor
of offering the resolution inviting
this celebration that Andrew Jack
son was the second Saviour of his
country. WAsniNoroN he truly de
nominated the first, and JACKSON the
second—in which sentiment I cor
dially concur, and have no doubt
that it commends the judgment of
every patriot in the land. Such sen
timents as those enunciated in the
message of Gen. Jackson are full of
meaning and admonition, and must
be especially refreshing to the loyal
citizen in these times of treason and
rebellion. We hail them as an OASIS
in the moral waste of this degenerate
world. The best energies of his life,
and the most powerful efforts of his
administration, were devoted to the
suppression of rebellion, and the de
fence ofthe Constitution. Obedience
to the law and deference to the
Union was the watch-word of An
drew Jackson. It was he who fear
lessly declared, "THE FEDERAL UNION
must be preserved," and were he
to-day upon the theatre of action,
would no doubt signalize that deter
mination of his purpose with an em
phatic "By the Eternal." Sir, I too
wish we had such a man as AN
DREW JACKSON.
Mr. Speaker, thanking Divine
Providence, in the name of the peo
ple of Pennsylvania, and through
them of the world, for the two first
named benefactors of our race, in
the persons of Washington and Jack
son, may we not confidently trust
that, in the munificence of the same
unerring wisdom, he has raised up,
in the person of Gen. Mean •
the third "Saviour of our Country."
I am not yet done with Andrew
Jackson. He suppressed nullification
in 1832, and, if now living, would
wipe out rebellion in 1862. His motto
would now be that of all his follow
ers. "The Constitution as it is—the
Union as it was !"
And now, Mr. Speaker a svord in
relation to our beloved, bleeding, suf
fering and distracted country. The
fair temple of our liberties has been
ruthlessly assailed by traitorous
hands, and the sacred tombs of Mount
Vernon, Monticello and the Hermit
age—the imperishable heritage of
our fathers and our fathere God—
have been desecrated by treason's
unholy ambition. Such violators of
law and humanity, I hold, would—
In conclusion, may we not here, as
the representatives of one branch of
the Legislature, congratulate the
loyal people of the whole country
upon the prospects of an early and
enduring peace. A peace that will
c2mprehend the honor of the thirty
four stars of the Union. Black re
bellion and treason will then be ban
ished from the land never again to
disgrace our country's fair escutch
eon.
For them I have neither mercy or
sympathy. Men who desert the
Union, and attempt to destroy or
mar its beauty, have no claim to its
protection and immunities, but de
serve its unlimited execrations. Of
such truthfully has the poet said :
Perish therhand that would destroy
The temple of our sires.
Perish the heart chat hopes for Joy
In its consuming fires I
Let not the monster be forget
Who dares to light the garnet
But curse him with a traitor's lot,
♦nd with a traitors name.
Mr. Tate concluded by offering the
following :
Resolved, That 5,000 copies of An
drew Jackson's Proclamation to the
people of South Carolina, and an
equal number of his farewell address
to the people of the United States,
be printed for general distribution.

the Merrimac is therough4 repaired
and in commission, ready for another
expedition against the wooden walls
of the Federal navy, and the river
transports lying in the Roads. The
delay in her coming out is believed
to be caused by waiting for ammu

been placed on board of her, and also
some infernal machines which have
been constructed by Bombastes
Maury. The steamers Yorktown
and Jamestown are also being
strengthened, and more thoroughly

that two more steamers are being

the expedition.
As to the loss of life on the Merri

to be positive information that it was
pretty heavy. One of the recently

was a nurse in the general hospital,

parture, he had helped to shroud 30
of the crew of the Merrimac, and
that both Captain Buchanan and
Lieutenant Minor are dead. There
was still a number of the wounded
surviving. They, the contrabands,
also state that the last two shots of
the Monitor were represented to be
the only ones that seriously injured
the Merrimac. These were thrown
under her shield at the moment she
attempted to run the Monitor down.
Notwithstanding the great delay in
the appearance of the Merrimac, she
is hourly expected at Fortress Mon
roe, and the naval and military com
manders are prepared to receive her
at any moment.
