The Conspiracy against, the Union no long.. ea Concealed. MARTIN F. CONWAY, a Republican mem ber of Congress from Kansas, made a speech in the House a few days ago, in which he anathematized the Union, de clared his contempt for the Constitution, and avowed himself in favor of recogniz ing the independence of the Southern Con federacy. We make a few brief extracts from hie harangue to "show up" the loyalty of the man and his political associates.— The conspirators grow bolder every day, and their purpose to establish a Northern anti-slavery Confederacy on the ruins of the old Union, will soon be known and read of all of them. This is their only hope of perpetuating the Abolition dynasty, and they would sacrifice the liberties and hap piness of the people rather than relinquish the sceptre and purse-strings. The halter is the only cure for their treason and fanati- , clam But to the speech HZ IS AGAINST RE-UNION Sir, I am not in favor of restoring the constitutional relations of the slaveholders to the Union, nor of the war to that end. On the contrary, I am utterly and forever opposed to both. lam in favor of the Union as it exists to-day. I am in favor of recognizing the loyal States as the Amer ican nation, based as they are on the prin ciple of freedom for all, without distinc tion of race, color, or condition. I believe it to be the manifest destiny of the Ameri can nation to ultimately control the Amer lean continent on this principle. I conceive, therefore, that the true ob ject of this war is to revolutionize the na tional Government by resolving the North into the nation, and the South into a dis tinct public body ; leaving us in a position to pursue the latter as a separate State.— I believe that the direction of the war to any other end is a perversion of it, calcu lated to subvert the very object it was de signed to effect. HIS UNIONISM. 1 have never allowed. myself to indulge in that superstitious idolatry of the Union so prevalent among simple but honest peo ple, nor that political cant about the Union so prevalent among dishonest ones. have simply regarded it as a form of Government, to be valued in proportion to its merits as an instrument of national prosperity and power. THE DEM3CRACY TRUE TO THE UNION The Democrats will not, of course, listen to separation for an instant. Such a sug gestion in their eyes, now, is treason—a proposition to dissolve the Union—for which one ought to he hanged. They ex pect the question whether the Union shall be restored by force or compromise to be submitted to the people in the next electior.; and upon that to carry the country. Their plan is to oppose the Administration sim ply on its anti-slavery policy. They put in issue the confiscation act, the Missouri emancipation act, and the President's proclamation of emancipation. Those measures they pronounce unconstitutional, deny their validity, and everything done or to be done in pursuance of them. In addition to this, they attack the Adminis tration on account. of its suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, false imprisonment, corruption, imbecility, kc., and a thousand other incidents. But on the war and the integrity of the Union, they are like ada mant itself. They claim to favor the war for the sake of the Union, but to be for compromise rather than war. They say very truthfully that the Republicans have tried force for two years, and exhausted the country, and upon this claim the adop tion of their method as all that is left to be done. This is the manner in which the politicians of the country propose to terminate this great conflict. THE PROCLAMATION A rxurraz Many suppose that the effect of the proclamation of emanc:pation will be to so thoroughly, speedily, and completely penihilate and extirpate slavery tbat the -slavebolders will have no longer a motive to act together. This is an egregious mis take. The proclamation will have no such , effect. It cannot have any such effect.— Its constitutionality is denied. It is still .unexecuted, and its validity undetermined. ;The whole subject is yet open to debate and final settlement. The judiciary de partment is to render its decision upon it; :and, is; the meantime, it is to be the con 'trolling issue in a popular election for Pieeident. This state of things will un dougtedij inspire the elaveholders with a more- reeolute purpose than ever. Their effort w;11 not, as heretofore, be to prevent "Lincoln Scabs" is the name now - the abolitionist from freting the slave, as .. apilied to the postal currency and tax a distant and speculative proposition, but stamps.

DESTITUTION OF SOLDIERS' FAMI- OMI The following letter from a soldier's Alb to her husband has lately appeared in print, and affords melancholy proof of the suffering and destitution which prevail, in many localities, in the families of the brave men who are doing battle for the country. While the Government is squan dering vast sums on idle contrabands, and propose to expend fabulous amounts in the purchase and colonization of negroes, the wives and children of our gallant lads are allowed to pine in want and sickness and neglect, and in some instances to starve!— What a comment on Abolition fanaticism, philanthropy and improvidence ! Letter from a Soldier's wife to her Hus- band Dear Husband: I received your letter, and feel sorry to hear of your situation. It is hard. We indeed have trouble. I have had but $3O to live on the past year, and was at the mercy of our neighbors. lam now out of breadstuffs. Our mills are all dry, and I have not as much means as will send this letter to you—and five little children to see after, two very sick of dip theria. lam unwell—have been quite ill, and cannot possibly stand travelling ; the doctor says I am too delicate to travel.— Do come home. I would love to see you once more in this world. We have not seen each other for two years, and if you do not come soon, perhaps we may never see each other. Our little children fret so much for you , do come ! Our neighbors think if you would ask your hospital doc tor, he would give you a pass to come and see us under our trying circumstances— knowing you were wounded in the service of your country, and cannot be of any use to it now. Ido assure you we are in want now, and where to go for help I cannot tell. I feel .too weak to write much at this time. Urge upon your authorities to let you come and see after your poor fami• ly. If they are kind-hearted, they will let you come. The Lord direct_them thus! If I had means I would send it to you, but lam penniless ; I have not one cent. Try to do something for us. From your most affectionate wife, M S--. Thousands of such letters have been written by poor, distressed mothers, whose husbands can neither obtain their pay to relieve the pressing wants of their fami lies, nor leave to visit them. Another Case.--Starved to Death. In Bergen county, N. J., a few days ago, the wife of a Union volunteer, now in the country's service, was found dead in her dwelling, an 1 her three little children prostrated beyond recovery,—the result of starvation. Our abolition government feeds the negro, male and female; it with holds his pay 1%0117 the white soldier, and allows his wife and children to perish from lack of food.

JOHN ROWE, Speaker of the House of Representatives LOUIS W. HALL, Speaker of the Senate Approved, The 7th day of April, Anni Domini one thousand, eight hundred and sixty-two The Lancaster Election--A signal Demo- Cratlc Victory. Hon. George Sanderson, the consistet.t and fearless editor of the Lancaster In telligencer, was re-elected Mayor of the city of Lancaster on Tuesday last, by the handsome majority of 265. His majority last year was only 84. The great re-ac tion is still "marching along." The fol lowing are the returns, showing the ma jorities in the several wards. They are refreshingly one-sided: Sanderson. (D) Cassidy, (A.) North West Ward 65. South West Ward 157. North East War , ' 17. South East Ward 26. Sanderson's major. 265. Well done, old Lancaster! The Cleveland Plaindealersays: "The following communication handed us we publish for the benefit of all whoM it may concern: "A poor Man'e Thought: How the Union is to be saved. First— Let slavery alone. Second—Tell the Southern States to come back into the Union, and it .they don't we'll knock hell right out of them.— Please insert." Whoever it may be that invented this strong doctrine is worthy of a Major Gen eral's commission. Republicans will seldom admit that 4,be party in power at Washington lie steeped in corruption to the lips, but occasionally their real sentiments and thoughts will leak out. We overheard one of them re mark a day or two since that he "did not believe the war would end as long as there was a dollar in the Treasury for the office holders, great and small, to steal." There are very many who think like him.— Where these same office-holders strike one blow for the Union they strike a dozen for their pockets. SlieW. H. Hodgson, of the West Ches ter Jeffersonian, has recovered $517 dam ages against Marshal Millward and his Deputies, in the Nisi Prius Court in Phil adelphia, before Justice Lowrie, of the Supreme Bench, for interfering with the publication of that paper, during the summer of 1861, without due process of law. Judge Lowrie charged the Jury that such officers had no right to inter fere with property except in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the land. It is a righteous verdict and should have been heavier. "'I he Union as it was," has outraged the common sense of the country long enough. The Union, as it was, is buried in a grave from which there is no resur rection. No Union is now possible, except of free States.— Lincoln' s Organ at Wash ington. The author of such a sentiment is an in famous disunionist and traitor to his coun try, and he who endorses it is no better.— The people will teach the Union destroy ers of this administration what it is that "has outraged the common sense of the country" as fast as time can give them the opportunity. , Dec. 15, 1862 That's So occasionally hear of a Republican who says he is no Abolition ist, and who yet approves of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. Mr. Cox, of Ohio, says he can see no difference be tween the republicanism that sustains emancipation proclamations and the real, old, genuine, Congo abolitionism. .They are links of the same sausage, made out of the same dog. When will the War Cease?— The Louisville Democrat. thus answers the inquiry : The people of the free States are, of course, eager to know when the rebellion will subside. Let them observe the thermometer at home. As Abolition subsides, so will rebellion. The New York Tribune calls the Proclamation a "paper spade," and ad mits that it can do . no good in crushing the rebellion or freeing the negroes.— Will not this open the eyes of the dupes of Abolitionism ? gEr Nigger for religion, pasteboard for money, the Chicago Platform for a guide and Abe Lincoln for President in the blessed year of 18621 Who won't remem ber it ?-s'elinsgrove limes. Ur If the Republicans want a new name, we suggest 'Greenbacks." They are both about the same discount, and dai ly pass for more than they are worth.-- had. Sentinel.

I n order to explain more fully the condition and expenses of the insti tution, so as to estimate, with some degree of certainty, the annual charge upon the county, it is to be observed that a large portion of the expenditures so far made were for stock and the necessary implements for the farm, and furniture for the house. The paupers generally came destitute of bedding, and of course the entire house had to be furnished ; which has, so far, been done substan tially and economically. The house itself was unfinished, at least so far as the safety and comfort of the in sane paupers were concerned ; and considerable expense had to be incur red in arranging a room for the mast violent of them. The expense to the farm, in making and repairing fences, setting out a fine orchard of fruit trees, and other indispensible work, was considerable. These charges of course will not occur again to the same extent, and we may reasonably infer, from what haS been done, that the poor of the cout.ty will eventually he kept un der this system cheaper and far more comfortably. E 33 795 85 95 From the annexed exhibit the public will see what other work has been done, and what has been pro duced upon the farm, and also what stock, &c., we have on the farm. Of course, since last spring, there has been but little yield front the farm, but under a proper system of culti vation, we have no doubt its produc tiveness will in a few years be very much enhanced. The abundance of coal and limestone - upon the land is an important item There is also a sufficiency of timber for fuel, fencing and building, if properly used. For the latter purposes an arrangement has been nac'e with the owners of a portable steam saw mill, by which means the timber upon all the fitrm, not fit for rails, can be cheaply eonverted into lum ber. In conclusion, the Directors invite the tax-paying community *hb have an interest in the institution to visit the farm and house, and judge for themselves as to their condition and management. C. A.
