whole body is faint. If' we are to be rep

What cao we expect? Negro, nothing
but Negro, can you hear. It reminds me
very much of a song I used to hear the!
darkies sing, "Nigger up, and .Nigger
down Negger all around the town." Thus
it is with a portion of the members of Con
gress. HI believed them sincere in their
devotion to the poOr, unfortunate darkey,
I could make great allowance. I.think
them hypocritical in their professions.—
They have never done anything to keep,
the poor unfortunate Africans, but would
be the very first to enslave them. 1 was!
at the Eutaw House in Baltimore in May
last, and saw a beardless, shoulder strap

,his side with his hat under his arm. The
young officer says to the clerk, "I sin go

"yes," I said, "Sir, what State do you
hail from?" lie says, "Massachusetts."
Says I, "Is this your servant," "Yes, "
"Where did you get him?" "He is a
"contraband," says I, "you have come
down here to fight for the freedom of the
poor slave; you have taken him from his
master, and made him ten-fold 'more a
slave than he was before."
Saturday morning the 10th, we found our
way down to the Government mail boat,
which waelllying at the wharf. 8 o'clock
arrived, she weighed anchor, and started
down the river for Acquit Creek, (which
is about sixty miles below Washington
City.) After we had been out about an
hour and a half the bell of the boat' com
tuenced tolling, and the paesengers began
to inquire what this meant? We were in
formed-that we were passing "Mount Ver
non." AU eyes were turned towards the
venerated home of the immortal Wash
ington, the Father of our once happy, but
. now istracted country. Some distAnce
! below the mansion, on the hillside towards
' the river, may be seen very distinctly the
Tomb which contains the sacred dust of
the Christian Hero and Statesman. The
passing, the trilling of the bell, appeared to
produce a profound solemnity. All, all
seemed awstricken. Many felt as Moses
did when he beheld the burning bush.—
The bell appeared to have a tongue that
spoke to our hearts; each passenger telt
art:though he beheld a sacred spot.—
None but the mos'• obdurate could remain
unmoved under such circumstances.—
There were eyes suillised. Loneliness
reigns there. The name of Washington!!
Let it ever stand before the world in al!,
its original strength and beauty. "The !
republic may perish, the wide arch of our,
ranged union may fall; star by star, its

human hearts shall anywhere pant, or hu

About 2 o'clock, we reached Acquie

DEMOCRATIC MEETING
In pursuance of previous notice the
Riehhill township Democratic Club" met
in Jacksonville, Pa., on Saturday, Feb. ith,
1863, and adopted the following RePolu
4ions introduced by "D. W. Gray, Chairman
-of Committee:—
WurateAs, The denmcraey of Richhi
have assembled to nominate candidates for
the Spring election, they, as freemen, have
the right to proclaim the tenets of the
party. Therefore,
Resolved, Ist, That deploring the demor
alizing tendency of the higher law teach
ing of the Republican party, we feel im
pelled to reiterate our faith in the doctrine
that constitutional law is the only true
basis of Executive action in peace or war.
2nd, That in the present condition of
the country, we extend to the national ad
ministration our most cordial support for
the speedy suppression of the rebellion by
alt constitutional means, and-that the par
ty, stands as it has ever stood since the
formation of the Government for the Union,
the Constitution, and the enforcement of
the laws.
3rd, That as in estab!ishing the consti
tution, the people reserved to themselves
all powers not delegated to the Govern
ment, therefore all assumptions of power
by the administration, whether in the sus
pension of the writ of habeas corpus, arrests
and imprisonments without due course of
law, or restrictions of the freedom of speech
and of the press,are dangerous infringinentt
of the Constitutional rights of the people,
only to be borne by the hopeless serfs of
an aristocratic despotism.
4, That while we enter our solemn pro
test against the reckless extravagance, in
famous peculation and political outrages of
which the party in power is guilty, and
while we deprecate the horrors of the civil
conflict now raging, we still hold it our
duty to advocate the use of all constitu
tional means to the extent of the full pow
er of the government for the suppression of
the rebellion and the vindication of the au
thority of the Constitution as it is, and the
restoration of the Union as it was.
sth,, That as freemen, and the sons of
freemen, believing that free discussion is
the seenrity of liberty, we cannot surren
der our right to discuss, criticise, and judge
public men and measures--no matter who
forbid.
6th, That the salvation of the Union
and the country demand that the admin
istration of the Government should be res
tored to the democratic party, and that
while no act of any administration can
chill the devotion of the democratic party
to the Constitution and Union, we regard
the late proclamatirm of the Preftitient of
the United States, freeing the slaves in
certain States on and alter the let day of
January. A. D. 1863, as ill-timed, newer
rentable, and unjustifiable—in violation of
the solemnly plighted faith of the admin
istration at the commencement of the war
—and, it' persisted in, fatal to all hopes of
a restored Union
7th, That the evident intent of the Ad
ministration is, to place the negro on a
footing of equality with the white man,
and that the constant interineddling ofCon
gress during its last session with the ques
tion of slavery, affords ample evidence that
such intent exists, and that we are not pre
pared to degrade the Anglo-Saxon to a
level with the African, at the bidding of
false philanthropists and fanatics.
Bth, That the democracy of the loyal
States are in no wise responsible for our
national troubles; that their efforts have
been exerted to arrest the causes and avert
the consequences of the sectional strife
which has involved thl country in. civil
war; that we have no sympathy with
northern abolitionism; or southern ex
tremists, but have ever proclaimed both
to be dangerous to the peace, integrity and
perpetuity of tl►e Union ; and we do hereby
declare our unqualified condemnation of
both.
9th, that the general government has
no power under the Constitution to tax the
people of the free State!. for the purpose of
raiding money with which to buy the slaves
of Southern States • and we now declare,
is advance, t h ett. al l debts contracted, or
bonds given, which may
.14 issued fox the
purpose of paying for any such slaves,.we
Isola to be utterly void for want of,anthor
ity to issue the same, and we will not con
sent
to be taxed for any such purpose.
10th, That weinvite all men, without
distinction of State, section or porty,•whe
an for the Coestitntion as it is, and the
Um* qs itgoo to unite wiekemeAle
cost wfwkirlion torso orompOss.
e ins ist, that the restoration of the

ple that spirit of American fraternity
which knows no North, no South, no East,

•
12th, That we tender our heartfelt
thanks to our brave patriot soldiers in the
fiefd . foe their toils and suffering and most
dietiriguishect services, and our warmest
sympathies to the friends of those nolde
men who have 141.1.1 a in the service eo;Oheir

Jesse Lazear, our worthy feptesentative
in the present Congress.
14th. Resolved, That we have great!
confidence in the patriotism and altii , ity ofl
Dr. A. Patton, our State representative.
Resolved, That whereas, a million oft
men and more, have marched to arms for
the "unholy crusade" upon "Slavery,"!
an ancestral inheritance "of property"
upon a part of this country vouchsafed by
the Constitution which our Fathers made, !
and after that 300,000 more are standing'
in the phalanx of the best appointed, best)
armed, best fed, best clad, and best organ
ized army, as well as discipline, ever mar
shrilled, "olden times and modern not ex
cepted." With all the credit, the money,
the confidence, the patriotism, the power,l
the influence. the patronage, the magnan-1
imity, cathasiastu, &c.. that was ever ex-,
hibited either ow land or Sea, or God's
learth, and have utterly failed to accom-I
plish awything, .except to demoralize the
! country, to deseerate i e means, to low and
Ifoul psrpoPes, political and otherwise.
Thereiore, we regard the leattere of t he.
party in power, who hare perpetrated the
same as the enemies of oar country, and
should be eradicated as quickly as the
4 Constitution will guarantee. 11 . no ''sooner.
On motion of S. Huston, Resolved, That
the Democrats of the township meet at
their respective &hoed Houses and nomi
ate three Delegates from each (17). to
assemble at Jacksonville on Friday, Feb.
20th, 1863, for the purtose of nominating
candidates for the township offices.
Resolved, That, the editors of the Messen

Speeches were made by Mr. Ezekiel

Messrs. Jones if Jennings :-

or of which you will learn by read

!your approbation, you will please
'print the same in your excellent pa

as you can in as short time as possi

presentation to theitouse, afi it is ne
cessary for us to act speedily if we
act at all in the matter, for the pres
ent eongreso is near to its dissolu

before it before closing, in.order for
it to be effectual. 'W(3 are working
finely in the House now. Our ex
cellent Speaker dispatches business
with a correctness and celerity that
in my opinion far excels the action of
the Speaker of the House of Repre

Union. By the way 1 was in the
Federal city on last Saturday and
Monday, I bad the pleasure of meet

quaintances there. I also beard that
grand political scoundrel and heart
less disunionist too, Thad. Stevens,
make the closing speech on the nig

will pass the Senate. Then we will
be relieved from the onerous duty
lof fighting for the success of this
Administration in its present ruth

the Southern. States, and the Consti

These sable brethren will now be

will destroy they - first make mad,
and it does appear that the party
now at the head of our national st

there exists in this land a slumber

these miserable fanatics are now
standing thinking themselves safe,
but the long pent up fires of public'
indignation will burst forth, and the
day of retribution is near at hand;

Its running expenses are only about

A Miserable Old Sinner.
An old miser named Solomon Straw,
died suddenly last week in Spring
field Massachusetts. Fot many years
he had persisted in the most miser
ly habits, scarcely allowing himself
sufficient food and c . hothes' to leech
himself (recent. When tales were
to be imposed in one place, he would
remove to another, dodging about
in a most beggarly manner, sleeping
under sheds and in barns, and living
on crackers rather than spend mon
ey fur a meal Oftentimes he went
barefoot, although he always had
plenty of money. For a long time
lie had been in the hal,it of carrying.
his money about him, together with
certificates of stock and all his pa
pers, so that it has been feared' by
many that some would take advant
age of his weakmess P,n(fl rob him,—
The danger became so apparent,
and the doctors deciding that he
was a fit subject for the Asylum, an
attempt was made ow Wednesday to
remove him to Northaaripton While
the officers were providiwg a dinner'
for him, he fell back and died. al
most instantly. Upon emarniviatiorr,
the City Marshal found 820,000 in
money, and cortificatespacked a - vay
about his person in every conceiva
ble manner. He was seventy-two
years of a g e, and was born in Pal
