"A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or
com promised. It knows no baseness.; it cowers to
no danger; it oppresses no weakness. Destructive
.only of despotism, it :is the sole conservator of lib-
Arty, 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."

THE AUDITOR GENERALSHIP.
The cordial response of the Democratic
press in Western Pennsylvania to our sug
gestion of Col. W. T. H. PArmer, for the
Auditor Generalship, leads us to indulge
the hope that he will be the only candidate
before the Convention from this portion of
the State. The claims of the West, and
especially of "glorious Little Greene," enti
tle Mr. PAULEY to the nomination, aside
from his acknowledged deservings as a
Democrat, and his admirable fitness for the
position; and we confidently trust he will be
made our nominee with entije unanimity.
It would only be doing tardy justice to the
Democracy of a county which has never
failed, since its erection, to give a decided
Democratic inajority, and which has never
received and never before asked a nonitinee
for a State office.
ANOTHER ORANGE OF NAME.
Our Republican friends are at present dis
.cussing the propriety of again changing
their name. Instead of calling themselves
"The People's Party," as they have here
tofore in Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia
Executive Committee propose to make the
party Republican in name as it has been in
policy; while JOIN W. Forizy, and other
opposition pollywogs, are for dubbing it the
"Union Party," par excellence! We pre
sume its claims to the "Union" sobriquet is
founded on the tendency ofits doctrines and
policy in the direction of breakiny it up.—
Certain we are that a large portion of the
.organization are opposed to "any Union
with slaveholders," or to the "Union as it my,"
and would see the Union in Tophet before
they would abate a jot or tittle of their anti
slavery fanaticism to preserve it. But take
any name they may, the odor of "Sambo"
will still cling to our opponents, and will
render it an easy matter to drub them when
the Abolition mania has subsided, and the
people have had time for a "sober, second
thought."
ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN THE
DISTRICT 0100GLIIMBIA.
This darling project of the Abolionists,
and one which they have been agitating for
the last tsventy years, has at length been
:adopted, having passed both Houses of
Congress and received the Executive sanc
tion. Various amendments to the bill
were proposed while on its passage, and
Among others one submitting the scheme
to a vote of the people of the District, but
all were defeated, and the act, as origi
belly reported by the Committee, adopted
by the almost unanimous yoice of the Re
,publican members.
"The bill provides for the appointment
of three Commissioners by the President
who shall value each and every slave in
the District, provided, however, that the
entire sum so appraised and apportioned
shall not exceed in the aggregate an
Amount equal to three hundred dollars for
each person shown to have been so held.
The sixth section of the bill provides
bounteously for the payment of the officers
employed to execute the provisions of the
bill out of the people's money, as follows :
"That said Commissioners shall receive
in compensation for their services the sum
of TWO THOUSAND DOLL .RS each, to
be paid upon the filing of their report; that
said clerk shall receive for his services the
sum of TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS PER
MONTH; that said marshal shall receive
such fees as are allowed by law for similar
Services performed by him in the Circuit
Court of the District of Columbia; that the
Secretary of the Treasury shall cause all
other reasonable expenses of said commis
sion to be audited and allowed, and that
said compensation, fees and expenses shall
be paid from the treasury of the United
States."
The last section makes a liberal appro
priation of $lOO,OOO for the colonization of
the negroes set free by this bill as follows :
"That the sum of $lOO,OOO, out of any
money in the treasury not otherwise ap
propriated, shall be expended, under the
direction of the President of the United
States, to aid in the colonization and set
tlement of all persons liberated under this
act, and such free people of African descent
now residing in said District, as may desire
to emigrate to the Republics of Hayti or
iberis, or such other country beyond the
sails of the United States as the President
May determine. Provided that the cost
*hall not exceed $lOO for each person col
onized."
We are assured that prior to the passage
of this bill, the "agitation of the subject of
emancipation in the District, so alarmed
the slaveholders there that they sent every
slave they had, who was worth anything,
off to Maryland and Delaware ; so that by
she time the time the act of manumission
passed, slavery had dwindled down to
about two thousand slaves—and these
were, principally, old people and children.
The true course, therefore, for the "friends
of freedom" to have pursued, was to have
passed an act of gradual emancipation.—
This course, however, was too moderate
and the two thousand helpless beings made
free, are to be thrown !Pee the itteiti, and
then left to drag Rut e4illterta#4 lll IV* OW
yea."

politic and ill-timed, will accomplish little
or no practical good for the negro, and will
furnish a capital text to Southern Rebels
and conspirators for harangues on "North
ern aggression," and "interference" with
their slave institutions. Its adoption
certainly indicates the decided anti-slavery
proclivities of the Republican party, and
leads to well-grounded apprehensions that
it may be followed by measures of a simi
lar character much more injudicious and
mischievous in effect and policy. It is a
"tub" thrown to the Abolition "whale,"
and will only satisfy the cravings of the
monster for a very brief season.
WHAT HE SAID IN 1856.
Wendell Phillips, the notorious Abolition
lecturer, held the following language in re
gard to the Republican party in 1856 :
"There is a merit in the Republican par
ty. It is the first sectional party ever or
ganized in the country. It, is the North
arrayed against the South. The first crack
in the iceberg is visible. You will yet hear
it go with a crash through the centre."
The people have heard the "crash," and
if the Republicans and Abolitionists don't
hear biyger thunder next Fall, we have mista
ken the signs of the times. Abolitionism,
Republicanism, Secessionism, and Section
alism of every hue and shape are "played
out." The sceptre will pass into the hands
of men who hold radically different opin
ions ftoM the demagogue., South and
North. who have precipitated the conutry
into her existing troubles,—men who will be
animated by a broader patriotism, and seek
to attain different and better aims.
DEMOORAT.TO SIIOOBSSES.
"BEHOLD, HOW BRIGHTLY BREAKS THE MORNING
The recent elections in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and New York have resulted in the
decided success of the Democratic nomi
nees. Indeed, in almost every county of the
"Old Keystone" Abolitionism and Sec
tionalism have been almost literally 'wiped
out.' In many instances, not only
townships and boroughs, but whole coun
ties have been completely revolutionized;
while in others the usual DJmocratic ma
jorities have been doubled or quadrupled.
In Luzerne county tbe Damocrats car
ried nearly every township, and in the
Borough of Wilkesbarre, the whole three
wards are Democratic by large majorities.
In Columbia and Montour counties Re
publicanism was routed, horse, foot and
dragoons.
In old Montgomery the Democrats swept
everything before them in gallant style.
In Westmoreland county the Democrats
carried nearly all The districts, by increased
majorities.
And so on throughout the State.
In Chicago, Illinois, the Democrats have
elected their entire ticket by a majority
of 1,400, and have also elected 7 out of 10
Alderman.
In Ohio the changes and results have
been quite as marked and cheering:
Last week at the municipal election in
Chillicothe, the Democratic cansiiilate for
Mayor was elected by 229 of a majority.
The year before the Republicans elected
their Mayor by a majority of 161. -
In Columbus, the Democrats haveklected
all their candidates by overwhelming ma
jorities—their Marshal by a majority of
783. Last spring, the Democrats carried
the city for the first time, electing their
candidate for Mayor by a majority of GI.
The Fusionists of Dayton, who carried
that city last fall by a majority of 500,
were totally routed at the election on
Mondayall their candidates being de
feated by au average majority of 100.
In Cincinnati, the Democracy elected
one-half the city officers and a majority
of the councilmen. In October last, the
"Union" State ticket had one or two thou
sand majority.
In the interior of New York, the Demo
crats have carried most of the village, city
and township elections by increased and
gratifying majorities.
At the city election in Barlington, N.
J., on Tuesday, at a strict party test, the
whole Democratic ticket was elected.--.
Burlington is the residence of Col. James
W. Wall.
The Democratic ticket was elected in
Bordentown township on Tuesday by an
average majority of 200.
All over the country the Democratic
fires bum brightly, and the Democratic
hosts are marshalling for the overthrow
of political Abolitionism and its kindred
heresies and factions. Next autumn's
elections will witness as well the re-estab
lishment of order and the restoration of
the Union as the unqualified condemna
tion of every form of fanaticism and eve
ry line of public policy which threatens
the integrity or disturbs the harmony of
the country.
NEW LAW FIRM.
It will he seen, by a card in another col -
umn, that R. W. DOWNEY, Esq., one of the
oldest and most successful Attorneys at our
Bar, has associated our young friend, SAM
UEL MONTGOMERY, Esq., with him in the
practice of the law. Mr. MONTGOMERY is a
young gentleman of very respectable pro
fessional attainments, and we doubt not
will make an energetic and popular lawyer.
TOBACCO SEEP.
Wm. L. Lazear, Esq., of this place, has
received from his Fatter, Cfen. Lazear, our
active and efficient Representative in Con
gress, a large lot of fine Tobacco seed, for
distribution among the farmers of this
county. They can be obtained on applica
tion at the Farmers' and Drovers' Bank.—
Those who wish to try the experiment of
Tobacco growing, would do well to call and
supply themselves.

complimentary notice of him from the Clear
field (Democratic) Republican :
COL. LEVI L. TATE.—Among the names
of prominent Democrats named in connec
tion with the State offices to be tilled next
Fall, there is no one spoken of for Surveyor
General who seems to meet with as much
tavor as that of our old friend TATE, of the
Columbia Democrat, and now a member of
the Legislature. Col. T. spent his younger
days in this county, where he is kindly re
membered. Since then he has tilled several
important public trusts, discharging their
duties with the utmost fidelity; and during
his whole life has been fearless and unyield
ing in his support of Democratic measures.
DWELLING BURNT.
We learn that a dwelling in Centre town
ship, belonging to HIRAM SMITH, Esq., and
occupied by ISAAC JOHNSON', was destroyed
by fire on Saturday week. The house and
the greater portion of its contents were con
sumed. The property was uninsured, and
the loss will reach $lOOO or $1200„
PITTSBURGH BUSINESS NOTICES
ST. CLAIR HOTEL.—This old and popular
establishment, one of the best "homes" in
the world for strangers and travellers, has
recently changed hands, and has been el
egantly and comfortably refitted. It is not
only one of the most commodious Hotels
in the Iron City (containing 145 rooms,
with spacious parlors and offices,) but, is
one of the most convenient and best
ordered stopping places in the city. It is
in the immediate vicinity of the business
streets, and has all the luxuries and ap
pointments of the best houses in the coun
try, though the charges are exceedingly
moderate (only $1,25 per day, and less for
a prolonged stay.) The proprietor (J. N.
ANDER:.4ON, Esq.,) is an old and well known
caterer to the public taste, and a courteous
and obliging gentleman, while the clerk of
the establishment, S. L. HocKEnr,
(late of the Girard,) is universally conce
ded to be one of the best fellows in the
world, and the vety best landlord we ever
knew. Try the St. Clair the first time you
visit the city, and our word for it you will
"call again."
DRY GOODS AND VARIETIES.—It will be
seen, by his advertisement in another col
umn, that the veteran merchant, D. GREGG,
Esq., has associated Jon.l lircnAansos,
Esq.., with him in the wholesale Dry Good
and Notion business. The facilities of the
firm for cheap buying are exceedingly
good, and will enable them to retain their
already large custom, and indefinitely ex
tend their trade. Their stock, this season,
is the fullest the house has ever had, and
is all the most fastideous buyers could
wish it. Country merchants will save large
ly by laying in their supplies at this es
tablishment. Our old friend, JOHN DUN
WOODY, Esq., is principal salesman in this
house, and will contribute largely to its
popularity by his frank and courteous bear
ing, and honorable dealing. May his
shadow never grow less !
NEW COMMISSION HOUSE.—Onr young
friends, J. T. COLVIN and JOHN N. MASON,
late of Brownsville. hare opened a Com
mission House at No. 6 Smithfield Street,
and are prepared to receive consignments
of Grain, Wool, Flour and Produce gener
ally. Long acquaintance with both mem
bers of the firm enables us tospeak in high
terms of their business qualifications and
integrity. They are perfectly reliable, and
will attend to any thing committed to their
bands with promptness and to the entire
satisfaction of consignors. Our Greene
county friends, who ship produce to Pitts
burgh, would do well to employ Colvin &
Mason to dispose of it. They are familiar
with prices and the state of the market,
and will make early and ample returns.
A rCTION HOUSE.—These establishments
are a great feature in city business, and an
nually dispose of immense quantities of
merchandise. Among the most successful
and popular houses of the kind in the "city
of smoke" is that of owrr young friend, T.
A. MCCLELLAND, Rig., No. 55 Fifth street.
It is always crowded with buyers, and
turns out incredibly large stores of Dry
Goods, Notions, Boots, Shoes, Furniture,
&c. It' you want a bargain, drop in at
ItfeCLELLAND's and get it. Sep card.
MILLINERY GOODS AND TRIM M NGS.-
Joseph Horne, No. 27 Market Street, is in
receipt of an immense stock of Goods in
this line, and is driving an unusually I,risk
business. Rare inducements are offered to
wholesale buyers in the way of prices and
stock, the latter being the largest in the.
city, and the figures being remarkabiy
low. See advertisement in another col
umn.

dwellings, would consult their interests by
dealing with the McCallums, who, in bu

lows.

THAT'S SO.
The Detroit (Michigan) Free Press,
inpublishing an abstract of the Tax
Bill, calls its readers' atterition to the
attractive provisions of the measure,
and says "no one need fear that they
have been slighted. A careful inves
tigation will show that the invita
tion is general, embracing every
class and everybody, respectfully re
questing them to 'walk up to the
captain's office and settle.'
"Ow _LYurthein people have been
dancing an anti,slarery jig, and now
they mast pay the giddier. That is all
there is of it. We fancy when the
time comes to fork over, they, or at
least most of them, will inwardly
conclude that they are paying 'too
dear for the whistle." The great in
justice of it all is, that those who
have resisted political anti-slavery
with all their power, who have a
thousand times warned the people of
the inevitable result, must bear equal
burthens with the incendiary aboli
tionist who has brought this load of
debt upon the country. If secession
ists and abolitionists, political anti
slavery leaders and Southern con
spirators could be made to pay the
shot, it would be exactly right. But
no, the innocent and the guilty have
got to suffer alike. We not
grumble, however, if' after all our
dangers and trials, we shall have a
country saved with constitution
unimpaired. Let no man, however,
who has aided political anti-slavery
try to.cheat his conscience and deny
his responsibility for these lamenta
ble results. Every man of ordinary
intelligence knoWs that if there had
been no warring by the people of the
North upon Southern inaitutions, no
political anti-slavery, this war would
not have occurred. One millstone
will not crush the grain; two are al-
ways necessary. So Southern con
spirators never would have been able
to grind out the rebellion grist with
out the nether millstone of Northern
anti-slavery to aid them. One was
just as indispensable to the result as
the other, and it will require a nice
adjustment of the scales of justice to
discriminate in favor of either, when
the moral guilt of both parties shall
be tested."
THE NEW APPORTIONMENT BILL.
Under the new Congressional Ap
portionmAt Bill, which passed the
Legislature on Friday, Western
Pennsylvania will be distributed thus:
Seventeenth District Cambria,
Blair, Iliintingdon and Main coun

ABOLITIONISTS,
Twenty-three years ago, in his
place in the Senate. Henry Clay por
trayed, as with the touch of a master
limner, the Abolitionists of that day.
Then they were an insignificant fac
tion; now they are a powerful party,
but unchanged in feature, motive or
purpose :
With them. the rights of property
are nothing; the deficiency of the
powers of the General Government
is nothing; the acknowledged and
incontestible powers of the States
are nothing; civil war, a dissolution
of the Union, and the overthrow of
a Government in which are concen
trated the fondest hopes of the civil
ized world, are nothing. A single
idea has taken possession of their
minds, and onward they pursue it,
overlooking all barriers, reckless and
regardless of all consequences.
se - A cotemporary makes a sensi
ble suggestion. It is that Dr. Hop
kins, the hero of the Knights of the
Golden Circle practical joke, shall
proceed to the organization of a new
scirele," to be called the _Knights of
the Golden Ass, and that Senator
Chandler, who, in the Senate, gave
credence to the existence of the
Golden Circle order in Michigan, and
asserted that it had put a good many
of its men into the army, "to his cer
tain knowledge be forwith admitted."
As an ass he is unsurpassed.
REBEL GRAVES.—The number of graves
found in the vicinity of Manassas are said
to exceed three thousand. The rebels,
from estimates made, lost by disease at
this fatuous encampment over five thous
and men.
Ir is stated that Jefferson Davis, as
commander-in-chief, has taken the com
mand of the Confederate forces at York
town, instead of going westward, as was
reported.

This compound will be found a great promoter Of
health. when taken in the sin ing, to expel the foul
lui mors which fester in the blood at that season of the
year. Ily the time. y eAttialsion of them many r ankling
disorders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the
endurance of tool eruptions and ulcerous sores, through
which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions,
if not assisted to do this through the natural channels
of the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out
the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
berating through the skin in pimples, eruptions. or
sores; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul,
and your feelings will tell you when. Even where
no particular disorder is telt, people enjoy better
health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep
the blood healthy, and all is well; but with the pabu
lum Mtge disordered, there can he no lasting health. I
Sooner or later something must eo wrong, and the
great maclii , ery of life is disordered or overthrown.
During late years the public have been misled by
large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of
Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been
frauds upon t he sick, for they not only contain little I
if any Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties
whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extracts of Rama
patina which flood the market, until the name itself is
justly despised, and Las become synottomous with
imposition and the •t. Still we call this compound
Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as
shall rescue the mine from the load of obloquy which
rests upon it. And we think we have ground for be
tievoui it bas yirtues which are irresistible by the ordi
nary run of the diseases it is intended to me.
