■■ That any one should make the charge
against the Republican party, (hat it is a sec
tional parly, (the words import criminality,)
is sufficient lu excite the indignation of any
one who has made himself acquainted with
the whole course of our political history.— (
The events and the spirit of this history de- f
monslrate that the charge is false,
li is not a sectional party, for freedom,
which is its aim, and has ever been, (until
recently,) the governing principal of the re
public, is national. It is not sectional, for
slavery, which it seeks Id limili is, in its ef
fects, national, and to check its progress is a
national duly. It is not sectional, for it is a
national right to govern the territories, and
a national duty to keep out of them that
class of brute laborers who reduce to sler- i
ility the earth on which they tread; who j
shut out schools and let in ignorance; who
keep out laboring whiles, the chief strength i
of a nation, and who in proportion to their 1
own number, detract from the national
strength ; who, in fine, disqualify the territo
ry, into which they ate admitted, for doing
its full duly to the world, and especially its
equal duty to communities associated with it.
How much more abounding, in all that con
stitutes national strength, would the United
■, States now bo, were it not fur slavery.
But even if the republican party be a sec- ■
lional party, in any sense of the word; if
the mere fact that a great majority, if even
all who compose it dwell in one part of the
nation, and those whom they oppose in an
other part, makes it sectional ; and the latter
has, for a long lime, acted as a sectional
parly, are not the former completely justified
in organizing a defensive sectional party 1
This old sectional parly has for a long time,
maintained its predominance, making section
al in'erests and selfish gratification the chief
object of its policy, expending from the rev
enues of (he nation immense sums to promote
its own aggrandizement, and bm small sums
for the especial benefit of the North. Has
length of time given this sectional parlytho
sole right to bo sectional 1 Is it to be, not
condemned, but justified, while a new party
necessarily sectional in its formation, but na
tional iolts objects, is condemned and abused
as though guilty of all the sins forbidden in
the decalogue, and till the short • comings
denounced in the code of patriotism 7 The
South have smitten us on one cheek ; we
then turned the other; they have smitten us
on -that; and now have we not a full and
perfect right, to give our votes for such men
as wilt take care of the nation’s interest and
our own; will pass such just laws as the
constitution au horises and repeal such laws
as it does not authorise 7 May we nut vin
dicate the rights of man! May we not in
sist that the garden, which God gave to man
to dress and improve, shall be so taken care
of as to be improved to the utmost of its
capacity I And especially may we not,afar
such long submission to the rule of less than
one third over more than two thirds, partly
through the privilege unrighteously obtained
for themselves on account of their slaves,
demand the rights belonging to freedom and
to the large majority 7
The indignation aroused by the charge
that the Republican party is a sectional par
ty, in any but an honorable sense, is equalled
by the disdain produced by the threat that,
if the majority will not submit to the minor
ity, the small minority will leave (he union,
lie who pccpiiu the fear of this to control
his political action has in him nothi tg of the
spirit of onr revolutionary patriots—nothing
of that high resolve which elevates man to
greatness —no accurate knowledge of statist
ical facts, and of southern interests, which
would at once convince him that the threat
is only intended to frighten; or that, if pos
sibly serious in a few of those who utter it,
' in the hope of more surely obtaining office,
hi execution would bo prevented by the con
siderate many at the South, who foresee the
consequences to themselves, either probable
or inevitable. Among the probable conse
quences is, they must be well a ware,'the is
insurrection of.their slaves when they know
- that the free, stales are no longer bound to
protect their maslers. And among the in
evitable are the escape of many more slaves
with no prospect of recovering them; the
surrender ofall the advantage now derived
from their privilege of giving votes, for slaves;
‘ the overshadowing superiority of a contigu
' one republic, bound by no constitutional ob
: ligations to aid them in any event j and a
spry large increase of taxation. (J.

The heart of the author, which always beat true

Indestructible. Every line that be penned in view
of social falsehood, lives to better the soul that drinks

not grapple boldly with the world’s great Lie. They
are rude rhymes—they may grate harshly open the'
ear of Die liypercrilical-Hhoee who read poetry by
the foot and measure seals by hexameters ; but the
massive symmetry of Truth may be recognised in
every sentence. For this we like the poem and love
the hand, now dust, that penned it.
“Kick him down I” There is no falsehood in the
cry, albeit them are not a few who will sneer at
what we have written and an about to write. The
observant hear this ery going up continually .in the
actions of the few in every community who have
succeeded to the wealth born of the labor and pxins
of a past generation. These may deny it, but it is
a child's denial. We choose to look facts in (lie face,

with Wrong there should be no waili except those

and strike fearlessly.
With the aristocracy of towns and cities—to some
such a bugbear—we have little to do. Timo spent
in ridiculing it is lost time, and the like of dennneia.

Hence, if the atmosphere be purified it will die a
natural death. Attack it otherwise, end it will bob

to cheat a few into a fancied superiority of rank and

There is an evil abroad in the land eclipsing all
others; and of this evil oar poet sings—

The tendency of the age is to mammon-worship.

The re-election of Erasing Brooks is simply the
re-election of one of the blindest of sectarian bigots
and most inveterate of Silver-Gray Whigs. With
out wishing to .sjy one word in favor of tJolm, we
can't see much to choose between the men. One
is a Catholic bigot, the other is'a Protestant bigot.
fjohn contends that the Bible should pot be put
in (he hands of the masses, neither should it be
introduced into our common schools. And this be
cause, as he primarily alleges, the masses are not ca.
pablo of interpreting the Book aright; and (hat
would lead to schisms innumerable—endless quarrels
aboat nothing; and in evidence of this be points you
to the Protestant world.
Mr. Brooks contends (hat the Bible should be free
to tbo masses and the priesthnodjalikd?' i That is:
he is In favor of a general reading of the Bible, pro
ended, that everybody interprets it to fuvor his dog
mas. Mr. Brooks is in furor of DibloSpyicties for
sending the Scriptuics to the heathen in distant parts
of the world; and at the same time ho is in favor of
holding 4,000,000 of negroes in bondage in this lie
public, and under laws which make it a penal offence
to teach one of those slaves to read the Bible I So
much for Dio consistency of Mr. Brooks.
Again, +John insists that man is not capable of
self-government; that a spiritual and temporal bead
—in short, a Pope and a prince—are divinely insli
tuted and therefore necessary to the welfare of a
State. Briefly, f John is not a Republican. He be
-lieves and preaches obedience "to the powers (list
be.” He believes that the consciences of the mass
es should be in the Bishop's keeping. So much for
the toleration of Bishop Hughes.
Mr. Brooks insists that man is capable of self-gov
eminent, and that all men are "endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights, nmoijg
which are life, Lizeutt, and the pursuit of happi
ness™ He believes ilmi —— 1 —- a.. *: a ).i ia .it
above ilia fellows and play ut football with their des.
thiies and fortunes. He further contends that every
man is Die proper keeper of his own conscience, and
that it is a dangerous thing to give one man domin.
ion over the consciences of a thousand. Yet this
tolerant Mr. Brooks apologizes for and defends the
South in depriving 4,000,000 of Africans of the ‘in
alienable riglita of life, Liberty and the pursuit of
happiness,” and moreover, taking byvlplcnce the
right of private judgment array from those millions.
He upholds a system of manselling and womanpros
tituting, and then like a canting hypocrite prates of
the corruptions ol Homeland the intolerance of tJohn
—shamelessly 1
We have no desire lo favor Bishop Hughes, for bis
doctrines are dangerous; lint wo equally abhor that
painted hypocrite, Grastus Brooks,and consider him
inferior in toleration, Christian charity and sincerity,
as well as in consistency—to that great bugbear of
ignorant Protectants and dishonest politicians—

“Had any oilier Judge in Pennsylvania conducted
himself towards tha public as lias David Wilmot, he
would have been met with a coat of tar and feathers;
and, refusing to resign, lie would have been driven
from the Bench by force—would not be permitted lo
disgrace it with hia. presence."— Ebenexer, in the
Moatrote Democrat.
The above sublime peroration is 'segregated' from
the middle ot a column of the same sort which ap
peared in the last illontrose Mohocral. It seems that
Judge Wilmot sometimes lakes occasion to mate a
speech in Montrose during Court week; and os the
Democracy of that region have lor a year past
shown a determination to abandon the ebate and go
it on their own hook, it isn't wonderful that Ebene
zer bad some severe internal disturbance in view of
the approaching term ot Court What object the
Judge can have in thus raising the Ebeucaer of our
respected friend and contemporary we can't guess.
Probably he has a habit of speaking the truth in
his speeches, and possibly Mr. Chase doesn't cut a
very flattering figure in the glare of the naked
Truth. Ho has done little e'sc than abuse Jtjdge
Wilmot for the past year—with what success‘the
increasing popularity of the Judge with the people,
well attests.
Oar Wuyno County friend some days since, fqok
the Tribune to task for even slightly hinting that a
certain cose of Judicial tyranny would have justified
open rebellion. Now, the mob-law is advocated in
the article alluded to, in (he plainest language. We
now call upon brother Beardalee to read that article,
and then tell us what he thinks of the Montrose Dm.
octal. It will then bo apparent whether he proaches
law-Riid-order doctrines from principle or from pique.

A new Paver.—We were most agreeably sur
prised yesterday by a visit to our sanctum of a neat
ly printed sheet,called the Pitlslon Herald, We
psychometrized the paper before opening it, and the
familiar face of an old and pleasant friend rose op
before as—the earnest face of E. S. Nikbell. He
was just taking the gloss OS' his “freedom suit”
when last wo shook his hand, and then we prophe
sied for him a belter fate than a tramper's. Bo we
have looked anxiously for bis paper and hero it is.
This is the flrst number. It shows the care of a
man of taste and talent in its selections, and when
we turn to the editor’s columns the same excellence
prevails there. We have read his salntatalary, and
white disagreeing with its arguments politically, wo
like the energy and sincerity of the soul that plan
ned and penned it. We admire energy and sinceri
ty everywhere j but regret that -our friend did not
choose to strike for Mxn instead of Party. Mala
rer thought will work its inevitable changes, though,
and we quarrel not with an hanast rnnu for a diff
erence in opinion. Let os hope that while battling
against the disfranchisenieut of men for not being
barn on the right side of the water, (that's a plank
in our platform too,) our friend will not always for
get that men should not be disfranchised, and shut
out from the blessings of Education, and bought and
and sold and scourged like cattle, because, forsooth,
they were not born of the right color I Psrdun this
allusion to a subject tabooed by modern democracy,
my friend, for we arc as much jn earnest as your
self—of which you will bear us witness.
We hope our friend will succeed in his enterprise,
for we cannot afford to sec an earnest worker fail,
however wide the difference in opinion. The demo
crats of Luzerne should sustain the Herald, for with
a just effort on their part we can see that it mast
beCßme the leading Democratic journal in Northeast
eni Pennsylvania. There is the right kind of tal
ent in tho editorials before us to achieve this. Go
a-head, friend. (E lirw.)

Diabolical murder o( a Woman
fur Money.
A mosl atrocious murder was committed
in North Coventry, in this county, on Wed
nesday night. I'he victim ..was a maiden
Indy named Hannah Shingle, who occupied
a house alone. The woman was about sixty
years of age, and had some mental peculiar
ities, superinduced by a love affair which hap
pened in her youth. She was the owner of a
farm of about 200 acres, on which she re
sided, having the land worked by her neigh
bors. She waq first discovered by John
Miller and his sop, who were gathering ap
ples in her orchard.
The son .was sent to the house to see that
she was well, when he came back staling
that the clock case hod been broken open
and he did not see her, but supposed she had
been robbed. Father and son immediately
started for the house, and on going to her
bed found her lying on the bed entirely dead,
and her person bearing marks of a most fear
ful murder.
She is represented as a woman of remark
able courage. The.house having been rob
bed two pr three limes before, she kept al
ways at her side an axe for defence. This
axe she look up stairs with her. At the
head of the stairs, were indications that a
severe struggle had ensued. The murderer
must have wrested the axe out of her hand,
and then, throwing her down, inflicted two
heavy blows on her forehead, crushing in her
skull in a tearful manner.
There were marks on the body showing
that she had been choked by the wreicb in
n fearful struggle for her life. After the
murder, the fiend proceeded to complete the
robbery of ihe house.- He broke open the
clock-case, where it iasnid she told some onu
n feph.weeks since, ahetkepfher money, after
the last robbery ol her house. -The general
supposition, is that she had little monuy obout
her, but her murderer, evidently obtained
some, but bow much is uncertain. Fifty dol

descending •'toVinid' l the • sombfbrk 'bf ihd
Merced river and winding aroiind e very
rocky point, We elibtbed nearlji 'lo (be
of the middle or main fork of 'lhe Merced,
and, descending toward the Yo-Semity val
ley, Cnme upon O' Wgb' point clear of trees,
whence we hod our Rrst view of this sidgu
-lir alid romantic'valley ; and as (he scene
opened; in full View before us, we were almost
speechless with admiration at its wild and
sublime grandeur.
“On ihe north side stands a bold perpen
dicular mountain of granite, shaped like an
immense lower. Its lofty top is covered with
great pines that, in the distance, seem but
shrubs. Our Indian guides called this the
“Cbpilon.” It 'measures from the valley to
its summit iwo thousand eight hundred feet,
“Just opposite this, on the soulh side of
the valley, our aiteniion was. attracted! by a
magnificent waterfall about seven hundred
feet in bight. It looked like a lung Inroad
feather of silver depending over a precipice;
and, as this feathery tail of leaping spray
thus hung, a slight, breeze moved it from
side'to side, and, as .the lasi rays of the set
ting were tinging it with rainbow hues,
the would mix with the purple, and the
purple with the yellow, and the yellow with
the green, and the green whh the silvery
sheen of its whitened foam as k danced in
space!
"Passing further up the valley, tve were
struck will) the awful grandeur of the im
mense mountains on either side, some per
pendicular and some a little sloping. One
looks like a light-house, another like a giant
capital of immense dimensions,* all are sin-"
gular and surmounted by pines.
“We crossed the river, and, still advanc
ing up the valley, turned a point, and before
us was an indescribable sight—a waterfall
two thousand two hundred feet in hight, the
highest in tho world. It rushes over the
cliffs, and, with one bold leap, falls one thou
sand two hundred feel, then a second of five
hundred feel, then a third of over five hun
dred fee I; the three leaps making two thou
sand two hundred feet.
./‘Standing upon the opposite side of the
valley and looking at the tall pines below,
the great hight of these falls can at a glance
be comprehended. ,
"About ten miles from the lower end o(
the valley there is another fall of not less
than fifteen hundred feel. This, with smal
ler falls and a lake, mark the head of the
Yo-Semily valley, which is. therefore, about
ten miles in length and from a half to one
mile in wid h. Although there is good land
enough for several farms, it cannot be con
sidered upon the whole as a good farming
valley ; but speckled trout, grouse, and pig
eons are plentiful. ’’

It is not more than twenty fire years since
Pennsylvania coal began to be a recognized
article of production and commerce. This
year the product of our anthracite mines
alone will amount to not less than six millions
of tons. This, as delivered at the mines, is
worth at least twelve millions of dollars, so
that this great sum may be regarded as the
amount of solid wealth dug annually, at the
present lime, from the bowels of the Stale.
We do not here undertake to show the addi
tional advantages it gives, in the encourage
ment of industry and the employment of
hundreds of thousands of persons in manu
factures ami commerce. We only wish to
impress upon the minds of our readers that
twelve millions a year is a low estimate of
the sum now paid to Pennsylvania for the
coal dug from below her soil. Ten years
hence, when railroads, canals, mining, man
ufactures and population shall have vastly
multiplied, our annual product of anthracite
coal will probably reach eighteen millions
of tons, and be worth at the mines thirty six
millions of dollars.
In comparison with the coal crop of Penn
sylvania ah other crops of every other Slate
sink into insignificance. There is a greater
value of cotton produced at the South ; but it
is at a great risk, with much labor, and it de
pends for its value solely on the foreign de
mand. But the co. l l is part of the very soil
of Pennsylvania ; no frosts, floods or droughts
imperil its quantity or impair its quality. It
is subject lo no influences from abroad, and
to no tricks of the commercial *orld. Its
market is at home and the demand, we may
be sure, will always equal the supply, how
ever great the supply may be. Wheal may
be ruined by flies and vermin, corn may per
ish from drought, and potatoes from the rot,
but the caul of Pennsylvania can suffer no
destruction or damage. It rests safe and
sound in the recesses where Providence has
placed it, and asks nothing of human indus
try except that it be taken out.
It is a crop ever ripe and ready to be gath
ered, in quality unimpeachable and in quan
tity inexhaustible. No competition from
other Stales can injure it, for there has been
no diminution of its rate of advance in sup
ply and value, no manor what rivalries have
been undertaken. The country is vast enough
to consume all that can be produced, and
manufactures and population increase at a
greater ratio lhan can be expected of the
production. A,t home, here, where coal has
become a common-place thing, we are not
properlyj sensible of the magnitude of the
wealth it affords us, and are not disposed lo
award it the dignity it deserve#.— PhiladeU
