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

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The Pittsburgh Gazette, a mouth-piece
of radical Abolition, red and black Re
publicanism, falsely and vauntingly asserts
that the Republican party "is the saviour
of the country !" Like an incendiary
who applies the torch to a building, and
then labors to extinguish the flames kin
dled by his own crime and fo'lly, it is not
surprising that the mischievous fanatics
who have done so much to bring about the
war and its attendant evils should boast of
their achievements. To the vigorous
prosecution of the struggle, however, we
do not object, (as the may means now left
for the re-establishment of order and the
restoration of the Union,) and will be the
last to detract an iota of just praise from
.that portion of the Republican party which
'honestly aims and battles for the integrity
of the government and the unity of the
country. But for the miserable and trai
torous fanatics who lend the struggle their
aid and countenance with the sole expecta
tion that it will sooner or later be convert
ed into a crusade against negro slavery,
we have no other feelings than those of
hearty contempt. Such men deserve halt
ers rather than commendation. Upon
them, and upon their wretched Secession
coadjutors at the South, will devolve the
terrible responsibilities of this war.—
Theirs is the laudable and glorious work of
stirring up the sectional prejudices and an
imosities in which it originated. To them
belongs the credit of refusing to entertain
any and all projects for the peacehle ad
justment of difficulties in themselves of
easy solution if approached in a prop
er spirit. And theirs has been the
constant effort to pervert the war
from its important and patriotic objects to
partizan and fanatical ends. They have
done all they could to embarrass the Ad
ministration and defeat the national
cause. If they had been in the pay and
service of the rebels, they could have ac
complished little more toward strengthen
ing their hands and furnishing them with
apologies for their attempt to break up the
Union. The people righbly regard the
"negro worshippers" as fully as dangerous
in their spirit and teachings, and as inim
ical in their policy to the harmony and
true interests of the country as the Seces-
sionista, and they are determined to put
/hem down: and they will do it in due sea
son and do it effectually.
WENDELL PHILLIPS, the "great gun" of
Abolitionism, and the "lion," just now,
of the Pittsburgh Gazette and the New
York Tribune, and other papers of the
same ilk, reflects the "Union" sentiments
of his fanatical associates in the following
elegant extracts from one of his late ha
rangues:—
"I have labored nineteen years to take
nineteen States out of the Union, and if I
have spent any nineteen years to the satis
faction of my Puritan conscience, it was
those nineteen years. The child of six
generations of Puritans, I was taught at a
mother's knee to love purity before peace.
And when Daniel Webster taught me that
the Union meant making white men hypo
crites and black men slaves; that it meant
lynch law in the Carolinas and mob law in
Massachusetts; that it meant lies in the
pulpit and gags in the Senate; when I was
told that the cementing of the Union was
returning slaves to their masters, in the
name of the God I loved and had been
taught to honor, I cursed the Constitution
and the Union, and endeavored to break it,
and thank God, it is broken !"
Again ;
"I think to-day that unless this war re
sult in liberty it would he better the Union
had gone—infinitely better. Unless within
twelve months or twenty-four Maryland is
a free State, Delaware and half of Vir
ginia, and we be enabled to look east and
west of that marble Capitol on freedom,
would to God that building, with the city
of Washington, had been shelled last July,
for it is nothing but a bribe, tending to
keep the North quiet." •
Such are the incendiary and treasonable
expressions of the man whose speeches are
being paraded in their columns with every
sign and mark of approval, by the "Ga
zette" and Republican prints generally.—
At the same time they prate lustily of their
loyalty and have the effrontry to denounce
as treasonable almost every utterance of
'prominent Democrats and Democratic jour
nals. .Their precept and practice have a
very different look to our optics.
PENNSYLVANIA VALOR.
We are gratified at the uniform gallan
try and good conduct of the Pennsylvania
troops in every battle and skirmish in
which they have been engaged since the
commencement of the war. Detachments
of our troops took part in the battlee at
Drainesville, Ball's Bluff, Newbern, Win
chester and Shiloh, sad performed Prodi
gies of valor on thaw bloody Sal& The
"Old Keystone" may Ton b i d roa d of
the unflinching courage of her ems, end

THE NAIIIIONAL TA% BILL.
Our neighbor of the Washington Re
view makes the following deserved stric
tures on the course of Republicans in Con
gress concerning the Tax Bill now pen
ding :
The procrastination manifested by the
controlling party in Congress in regard to
the tax hill is beginning to attract the at
tention of the country. The Republicans
appear very timid about taking decisive
steps in regard to this all important ques
tion. They well know as soon as the
hoard of tax gatherers commence to swarm
over the country the people will begin to
wake to a full realization of their situation
and to demant: strict investigation in re
gard to the systematic stealing that has
been, and is still going on about Washing
ton. The wier Republican politicians
know very well that with's taxation that
will be felt in every department of life,
there must come political sequences not
at all promising for their continuance in
power. Hence they put off the "evil day,"
and evidently desire to postpone direct
taxation, and hide from the people the
startling picture of our national debt, un
til after the next election, and then have
secured the House of Representatives for
two years more. Notwithstanding this
tardiness of Congress, the people are ma--
king their own calculations and footing up
the "bill of costs." Two million dollars
per day amounts to seven hundred and thir
ty millions dollars per year: the interest on
this at six per cent. amounts to forty three
million eight hundred thousand. Hon. Thad
Stevens, .stated in a recent speech in Con
gress, that the national debt was already
twelve hundred million dollars ! In face of
such figures as these, the House of Repre
sentatives have spent the past week in
fixing the tax on a barrel of beer !
THE WAR TAX
Some light minded genius travesties the
complicated requirements of the pro
posed national tax law, as follows :
Snuff boxes are to pay a tax of $1 per
year.
For every pinch of snuff given to a
friend, 3 cents.
For asking a friend to drink 35, cents.
For playing billiards, 25 cents.
License to kill woodcock, .$8 a year.
Tax on moustaches, $2 a_ month.
On whiskers, other than those belonging
to cats and dogs, $3 a month.
For blowing the nose in public streets ,
75 cents.
In country roads, 50 cents.
License to shoot rabbits, $l.
To shoot marbles, $l. If "China al
leys" are used in the game, a further tax
of 40 cents.
To play euchre, $1.50. If the two bow
ers of trumps are held, a further tax of 50
cents.
ilurdy-Gurdies are to-pay a tax of $1 a
tune.
Mocking birds, 75 cents.
To sneeze in a public highway, 15 cents.
If accompanied with unusual noise, 25
cents. •
License to peddle fire-wood, $1 per
month.
License to beg cold victuals, oue dollar
and fifty cents.
License to gather bones, $2,.
JUDICIAL
Every person taking an affidavit shall be
assessed 25 cents.
Ordinary cursing and swearing to pay
five cents an oath, and swearing to be
measured by a cursometer to be furnished
by the Secretary of the Treasury.
WAR CONTRACTS.
On the 17th of July, 1861, the Senate
called upon Mr. Cameron for information
respecting contracts, but received no an
swer. On the 14th of last January the
Secretary was directed to answer the
former resolution, but responded by saying
that he had not sufficient clerical force.—
He volunteered the assertion, however,
that he had not made a single contract for
any purpose whatever, believing it to be the
duty of the heads of bureaus. Mr. Stan
ton, his successor, responded to a demand
from the House for similar information,
his reply containing the following para
graph :
"Contracts by order of the Secretary of
War, trom Feb. 12, 1861, to Feb. 1, 1862,
one million eight hundred and thirty-six
thousand and nine hundred muskets and
rifles."
There is a broad contradiction of the
former Secretary involved in this reply,
which he should take the trouble to ex
plain to his constituents. •
THE COURT HOUSE.
The Court House roof and spouting are
in bad condition, and should be immedi
ately repaired. The building is too good,
and cost tax-payers too much, to be allow
ed to go to. ruin. Our present efficient
Board of Commissioners should see to
this matter of once. There is such a thing
beierpenny wise and pound foolish,"
and we would be sorry to see it illustrated
in the care taken of the public property.
P. S. Since writing the above, it will
be seen that the Commissioners have issued
proposals for making the repairs mentioned.
NEW SHOE STORE.
JOHN C. LIGHTCAP, late of Uniontown,
and a clever and estimable gentleman
and good citizen, has opened a new Boot
and Shoe, and Hat an l Cap Store in Say
ers' Building, opposite the Messenger Pub
lication Rooms. His goods have been
bought on exceedingly favorable terms
for CASH, and will be sold at correspond
ingly low rates. The stock is full, well
selected and suited to the varied wants of
the community. Dealing exclusively in
Boots and Shoes, and buying in large
quantities, Mr. Lightcap will be able to
offer better inducements to buyers in the
way of prices than ever before offered in
Waynesburg.
A Shoe Store is a great public conve
nience, and should be well patronised.—
We trust Mr. Lightcap will do a large and
prosperous business.
CHEAP AS THE OHEAPEBT.
R. CLARK, in the Hamilton House, is in
receipt of a large and choice selection
of seasonable Dry Goods, Notions, &c.,
which he will positively sell at exceeding
ly small profits for the ready cash. His
assortment embraces a large lot of prime
Groceries, and everything usually found in
tba heat village stores. Try Rnainci's

THE OOLLBGE.
The Summer Session of this• institution
opened last week. The attendance is much
larger than through 'the Winter, and is
quite encouraging.
LIVEET.I
Our young friend, Wm. G. W. DAY, Esq.,
has re-opened his Livery Stables, and is
prepared to accommodate the traveling
and pleasuring public with "fast nags"
and comfortable vehicles. "WILL" is "as
good as he's pretty," indeed is altogether
an excellent fellow, and will spare no pains
to oblige a neighbor. In addition to all
this, he trusts. This fact secures our cus
tom. "No other bids will be received."
WHEN TO PLANT SORGHUM.
The Bucyrus (Ohio) Forum contains
an article from the Rev. A. Myers of that
place, in which he states that the experi
ence of forty persons of his acquaintance
demonstrates that early planting is not prac
ticable. "Of all the experiments from the
last of April until the 10th of May, not
one matured; those from the 10th of May
until the 20th were ripe, or nearly so ;
and all, without exception, from the 20th
of-May until the Ist of June, were perfect
ly matured, demonstrating, conclusively,
that the latter part of May is the best
time to plant." It is absolutely essential
to success in making sugar, he says, that
the sorghum should be fully matured,
and as early planting isnot safe, he thinks
we must have some preparation to bring
the seed up speedily. What that is, he
professes to have discovered, and will an
nounce in time for planting. We hope he
will do so.
EMANCIPATION-THE COST,
Abolitionists, in Congress and out of it,
talk very flippantly of emancipating all
the Southern slaves, and paying the slave
holders for them. Let us look at the fig
ures of such a proposition. There are
four million of slaves. The bill now in
Congress, which proposes to abolish sla
very in the District of Columbia, fixes the
price to be paid by the General Govern
ment at three hundred dollars per head.
At That rate the emancipationof all the
Southern slaves would cost twelve hundred
million of dollars, without including the
cost of carrying out the plan, or of dispo
sing of the free negroes after emancipation.
This sum, according to the Constitution,
would have to be apportioned among the
States, according to the population. As
the white population of the United States,
according to the census of 1860, was about
twenty-seven millions, and the population
of Michigan three-fourths of a million, the
share for the citizens of Michigan to pay
on this speculation would be about $33,-
333,333.—Detr0it Free Press.
Pennsylvania's proportion of this "nig
ger trade," would be near three times the
sum to be paid by Michigan, or over Mir
NINETY-TWO MILLIONS of dollars, which
would exceed forty dollars for every man,
woman and child in the State ! If, when
thus purchased, the slaves are to be colon
ized, or sent to some distant country, they
would have to be maintained, in part at
least, by us ; and this would involve an
enormous annual expense. But if they
are not to be colonized, they must be dis
tributed over the Northern States, wher
ever the people of those States will permit.
It is well known that they would not be
tolerated in the West, and most of them
would therefore be thrown upon the Mid
dle and Eastern States. But supposing
they are distributed over the North in pro
portion to the population, Pennsylvania's
share of the four million negroes, would
be over three hundred thousand!
Do the people of this State want to pay
NINETY-TWO MILLIONS of dollars to free the
slaves of the South, and .then take three
hundred thousand of them home to be sup
ported mainly as paupers ? If so, let them
support Republicanism and they will prob
ably be gratified in this.— Lancaster Intel
ligeneer.
WHO SHOULD PAY.
The N. Y. Tribune says :
"Those who are so much disturbed at
the prospect of heavy taxation, ought, to
beconsistent, to go in for making the reb
els pay the cost of the war, which they
have causeresely and inexcusably forced
upon the country."
We go in most heartily for the proposi
tion of making those who have caused the
war, pay the cost. Under that rule, tru
ly says the Detroit Free Press, the N. Y.
Tribune would have to pay not less than
one hundred millions of dollars. That is the
smallest possible computation which any
candid, intelligent and fair-minded man,
under the above rule, could apportion as
its share.
ANOTHER DARK LANTERN PARTY.
We learn from the Harrisburg Patriot &
Union, that a Dark Lantern party is being
organized by the opposition throughout
the State, for political effect during the ap
proaching election. This society first
originated in Luzerne county, and the reg
ulations and Constitution of the unright
eous league were published at the office of
the Harrisburg Telegraph. We caution
our readers not to be entrapped by any of
the traveling minions of this disgraceful
association, who, we understand, are
bound together by extra judicial oaths,
grips, pass words, &c.—Butler Herald.
"KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE."
The Harrisburg Patriot has at length
discovered the existence and perssonel of
this mysterious order. It says :
It appears that this Golden circle is com
posed of a gang of plunderers who have
been engaged in robbing the Treasury since
the advent of the present administration.
In the course of a single year they have
succeeded in abstracting funds to the
amount of over sixty millions of dollars,
as much as the ordinary annual expenses
of the Government during the last admin
istration. Hence they are called, "Knights
of the Golden Circle." A number of mem
bers have been initiated into this treason
able order from this part of thaState.
lThe Brownsville Times reaches ue
this week in an elegant new dress. We
congratalate oar setemporm7 on this evi
dence of prospoi.ty.
OELIEBEATION.
We understand that D. D. G. M. Pot-
Tan has issued a dispensation to the H. M.
Phillips Lodge, No. 337, at Monongahela
City, Washington county, to have a public
celebration on the approaching St. John,
the Baptist's Day, June 24th. We predict
for our neighbors a big day.
AN INCIDENT,
About a year ago this Spring, a man in
Hollidaysburg wrote a letter to the late
Col. MURRAY, threatening to mob him if he
did not "come out" on the war question.—
Since then the brave and patriotic Alva-
RAY has raised a regiment, and fell at its
head, while gallantly leading his men
into battle, while the individual who
wrote the letter, has figured conspicuously
among the dishonest beef contractors and
government swindlers. It is scarcely ne
cessary to add that the lamented Col. was a
Democrat, and the contractor is an aboli
tionist.
DECLINATION.
MAY 6, 1862
Messrs. Jones & Jennings : You will do
me the kindness of permitting me, through
the columns of your paper, to address a few
words to the Democrats of the County, and
acquaint them with the conclusion at which
I have arrived. I but recently announced
myself as a candidate for Commissioner,
and the near approach of the election will
prevent me from canvassing the county at
large; in addition to this, other duties and
responsibilities demand my attention at this
time. With these considerations, I have,
therefore, thought it proper to acquaint you
with my determination to decline being a
candidate at the present time. I shall take
this occasion to return my thanks to my
Democratic friends for the anxiety they
manifested in my behalf.
Yours, very respectfully,
RUSSELL ARMSTRONG.
PENNSYLVANIA GALLANTRY COM
PLIMENTED.
Assistant Adjutant General Wright. has
issued an order thanking those members of
the "Anderson Body Guard" who fought
at Shiloh for the courage and coolness dis
played during the contest. The Adjutant,
in his order directed to the Captain of the
troop, says: "I am directed by Major Gen.
Buell, commanding the army of the Ohio,
to call your attention to the good conduct
of the men of your company who accom
panied him in the late action on the field
of Shiloh. Their names are Norman M.
Smith, John A. Stevenson, J. Randolph
Hewitt and Valentine B. Hummel. They
were all under fire, and performed their
duty with the coolness of veterans. I
would add that the conduct of privates
Smith and Hewitt came particularly un
der my own observation, and the gallant
manner in which, during the hottest of the
fight, they rallied scattered parties of
men, and led them back totheir regiments,
is deserving of the highest commenda
tion." The "Anderson Body Guard," our
readers will recollect, was made up wholly
of Pennsylvanians, and has some few men
in it from this city. Of the parties refer
red to in Adjutant Wright's order, Smith
is from Philadelphia, Hewitt from Greene
county, Hummel from Dauphin county,
and Stevenson front Westmoreland.
Pitts. Chron.
YORKTOWN EVACUATED.
The news of the evacuation of Yorktown
by the Rebels, is of the most gratifyingand
startling character. Gen. McClellan ap
pears to have taken advantage of this un
expected movement and pursued the enemy
in force. The loss of artillery, ammuni
tion and camp equipage must tell terribly
upon the enemy. Where they can ever
make a ettpd, or what they mean to do, is
to us incomprehensible.—Pittsburg Post.
MINISTERS WA N TED.—The Secre
tary of the Society for the Increase
of the Ministry of the Protestant
Episcopal Church makes public the
fact that there are now no fewer
than five hundred parishes, in the
Northern States alone, which are va
cant at present.
air Our Consul at Geneva writes
that during the six months he has
been there he has received no less
than a thousand applications to enter
our army from Italian soldiers who
wish for Liberty in America.
HOMICIDE.—A few days ago, Mr. Sam'!
Sloan, a prominent merchant of Cape Gir
