HARRISBURG
Tuesday Afternoon, Deeember 11.1660.
The Right Kind of Compromise.
We believe, with a cotemporary, that
if the State of South Carolina, or any
other Southern State, or all of them, will
go to work at once, and pass personal lib
erty bills for the protection of every free
white man that may come among them
from the North, and conduct himself
properly as a citizen should, no matter
what his private political opinions may be
—we say, if the South will pass such laws,
make them stringent in their operation,
and give full assurance of their being car
ried out—it will have the effect of making
nineteen out of twenty Northern men not
only respect, but willing to help to en
force all general Government laws. A
movement of this kind on the part of the
South, would be the signal for the repeal
of the personal liberty bills in nearly
every State that has enacted such laws.
As the case now stands there is neither
protection for the white nor black man
south of Mason and Dixon's line. It does
not need au avowal of his sentiments, but
a mere suspicion that he entertains opin
ions adverse to the "peculiar institution,"
to bring down on him the wrath of every
man aho stands upon the soil of the
South, We say to the South, give us
personal liberty bills for the free white
man, and we will give you the protection
the law affords for your property. What
say you, Messrs. Fire Eaters of the South?
MR. LINCOLN'S ADMINISTRA.TION.-
A short time after the Presidential elect
ion, we are informed, the Board of Trade
of Memphis communicated with Mr. Lin
coln, the President elect of the United
Sthtee, and received such assurances as
were satisfactory to them. He asked the
members if they could endure Mr. Bu
ehanan's administration 7 They assured
him they could. "Then, gentlemen,"
said Mr. Lincoln, "you will be able to
endure mine." We think he was about
right. A country never was governed
much worse than our own during the last
four years, and the very fact that it has
been able to endure this great affliction
of an inscrutable Providence, satisfies us
that the experiment of self-government is
not destined to prove a failure on this
continent. Mr. Lincoln, it cannot be
reasonably doubted, will execute the laws
of the National Congress, and we advise
our Union friends, and our friends in
the South, to try before condemning him.
SOUTH CAROLINA.-If evidence were
wanting of the deliberate intention of
South Carolina to dissolve the Union, it
exists in the breaking up of the Demo
cratic National Convention. Judge Don
glas, who, like Mr. Van Buren, had only
failed in a single, isolated case, to go with
and for Slavery, had a plurality in that
Convention. To prevent his nomination
the "fire eaters" seceded. And had his
subsequent nomination at Baltimore re
sulted in his election, the same conse
quences would have followed. The ex
treme Slave Power only tolerates Demo
cracy while it is wholly subservient. The
Toombses, the Beitts, the Rhetts, the
Yanceys, &a., &c., "would rather reign in
Hell thin serve in Heaven." With such
there can be ma peace. Republicanism is
repugnant to all their views and purposes.
Slavery makes them arrogant and des
potic. They hate the Union and will do
their best to destroy it.
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, next to South
Carolina, seems most vehemently anxious
to get out of the Union. The Territory
from which Florida was converted into a
State was purchased of Spain. With a
very few thousand white inhabitants, some
remnants of Indian tribes, and an army of
runaway negroes, it was admitted, by an
act of grace, into the Union. Its wars,
to expel the Indians and reclaim the
slaves, have cost the United States Treas
ury more than thirty millions of dollars.
Florida has nothing to complain of, no.
thing to excuse, and less than nothing to
justify its treason against the Union. It
has received nothing but good from tho
Government, for which it rattifim nothing
but evil. To protect the citizens of Flor
ida from robbery and murder, it has cost
the Treasury of the Union more than
$lOO,OOO for every head standing upon
traitor's shoulders.

Lincoln's majority over all
THE FUTILITY of expecting to keep
South Carolina or any other secession
State in the Union by the humiliation of
the North, is demonstrated by the decla
rations of the disunionists themselves.—
They don't want to save the Union, and
consequently do not ask for new guaran
ties. They declare themselves for separa
tion, "permanently and forever." Their
treason is of so deep a dye that it cannot
be effaced or mitigated by the salve of
Northern concession. In truth, the North
has nothing to concede, unless it is her
liberty. Except a national slave•code can
be coaxed or bullied out of her, she can
pay no premium on threats of destruction
to the Union. We are strong in the faith
that the Union men of the country will
never humble themselves to beg such terms
from avowed insurgents and traitors.
AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION.--The
President in his Message recommends an
amendment of the Constitution. The
modes of doing this, as prescribed by the
Constitution itself, are two :
Ist. Congress, by a two-third vote, may pro
pose an amendment. It must then be ratified
by three-fourths Of the States, either through
their Legislature or State Convention, as Con
gress may prescribe.
2d. Two-thirds of the Legislatures of the
States may require Congress to call a National
Convention to propose amendments. The
amendments proposed by the Convention must
then be ratified by three-fourths of the States,
as in the other case.
To initiate an amendment, therefore, it
is virtually necessary to have the consent
of twenty-two States, and to perfect it,
requires the assent of twenty-five.
NO CONCESSIONS OE THAT KIND.—The
Albany "Evening Journal," the leading
Republican paper in New York, in view
of the political troubles which have fol
lowed Lincoln's election, proposed recent,
ly that the Republican party ought to
make certain concessions to allay the ex
citement, among others the restoration of
the Missouri Compromise. The Repub
lican electors, it is said, universally con
demned the "Journal," which paper re
ceded from its proposition. Mr. Seward,
it is said, also disapproves of the Jour
nal's suggestion.
THE RIGHT BPI - arr.—A. lady friend,
residing in Mansfield, Ohio, sends us a
business letter, which she concludes with
the following allusion to politics : " I
very much fear that the Republicans will
have trouble with the South, but I hope
that they will never compromise the mat
ter with them, and stand firm for their
rights." Would that all Republicans
were imbued with the spirit of this wo
man. The South would very soon be
brought to terms.
PLAIN PRAYING.—Thomas Stockton,
the venerable chaplain of the House of
Representatives, in his prayer at the
opening of the session, occasioned an ir
reverent grin on the faces of members by
the following invocation to the Almighty
Power "0 Lord, consider our President
and his advisers ! They lack wisdom,
but if they ask Thee, Thou wilt give them
liberally and upbraid them not"
UIRTIED STATES MILITARY OFFICERS CATNNti
Efoins.—The Charleston Mercury, in behalf of
the tltate of South Carolina, calls upon all of
her sons, who are now engaged in the military
service of the United States, to renounce at
once the sword and the rations of the vulgar
oppressor, and to hasten at once to the homes
that gave them birth, for the protection of
their native soil, the preservation of the insti
tutions of their State, and the maintenance of
the liberty of freemen bequeathed them by
their fathers. We quote :
" South Carolina wants her soldier-citizens
around her now. The mother looks to her
sons to protect her from outrage. Shall she
look in vain ? She wants, now, military skill
and science, to direct the courage and energies
of her people. She looks to her army and
navy officers to supply that want. Let them
return home at once without any hesitation
whatever. They need have no more doubt of
South Carolina's going out of the Union than of
the world's turning :round. Every man that
goes to the Conventym -will be a pledged man
—pledged for immicliate`separate State scree,
wion, in any event Whatever:" Once out of the
Union, nothing but congaed will bring her
tack. She is resolved=, slVt'of the Union, dis
gusted with, it upon any terms that are within
theyange ot r l the widest passibility.
Pennipluania ails iCelegrupl), aueobap 'Afternoon, /December 11, 1860.
The Cincinnati Commercial has gone and
done it. It hascommitted high and rank trea
son against the free and independent State of
South Carolina, the light and shining star of
the "Southern Confederacy." Under the head
ing of "The Rattlesnake Cenfederacy," that
journal says the following awful things :
A writer in the Charleston Mercury suggests
the following as a suitable and appropriate na
tional banner for the Southern Confederacy :
"The ground entirely blue, with a golden
Palmetto in the center ; a golden rattlesnake
twining round the stem of the Palmetto, with
its rattle sprung, head erect, and tongue pro
truded. In the background, to the rear of the
tree and snake, a golden spread eagle, and a
single golden star in the upper right corner,
with the words "Room for More" on the op
posite."
Rattlesnakes and spread eagles ! what a co.tt
of arms have we here ? Doesn't this beat the
Turks, slightly ! "The ground entirely blue,"
—that's significant, to begin with. Won't the
chivalry who gather under that banner feel
blue, though, before they get through the
wars ? Well—perhaps not. " With a golden
Palmetto in the centre," as if to say we are
made of money, and our very trees drop gold,
which considering the suspension of all the
banks, and the four hundred thousand dollar
loan, is quite comme it fact.
"A golden rattlesnake twining round the
stem of the palmetto, with its rattle sprung,
head erect, and tongue protruded." What a
brave and gentlemanly rattlesnake, to be sure!.
Just in the "overt act," too, of striking the
deadly blow which shall finish the enemy for
ever. " Rattle sprung, head erect, and tongue
protruded,"—eyes right, head up, tail down,
make ready, take aim, fire ! bang,! ! and
straightway the bloody corses of the foe bite
the dust. Certainly there is nobody but must
admit the propriety of selecting the rattle
snake—rampant—as the appropriate emblem of .
modern Carolina warfare. We can only ven
ture to suggest one slight modification; instead
of the "blue ground," which might be taken
as so suggestive of the cerulean prospects of the
new Southern confederacy," let this worship
ful rattlesnake be seen "protruding" from a
bucket of tar and feathers—piping hot.
"In the background, to the rear of the tree
and snake, a golden spread eagle." Still gold
en? But we decidedly approve of the posi
tion.of toe "spread eagle" in the rear of the
snake. He is more out of harms way, you
know, and besides, should not every cause aim
to put its best foot foremost?
" A single golden star—(more gold !)—in the
upper right corner, with the words: Room
for gore ! on the opposite." Well done,
South' Carolina ! The ' lone star" of Texas
has found a rival. But what sublime and nev
er-sufficiently-to be admired magnanininity is
contained in that significant motto, borrowed,
without credit, from the omnibus ine of busi
ness—" Room for more !" Here's richness!
South Carolina with her golden palmettos,
golden spread eagles, golden rattlesnakes, and
golden " lone star," will absolutely take into
partnership any poor devil of a fire-eating com
monwealth which will follow her banner. The
force of condescension could go no further.
Ho, there ! Principalities and powers! Flags
of all nations ! Prepare to salute the shining
star of the kingdom of South Carolina! Room
for the rattlesnake of the Palmetto State I-
A BOY STEAM ELEVEN Mouses]) Doramts
FROM raa WEbiARN MAlLS.—William H. Hud
son, a lad of 18 years of age, employed as train
boy, to carry water, sell fruit, &c. on the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy Raifroad, was ar
rested on suspicion of having robbed the mail.
As the train was approaching Chicago, the
baggage master passed through the mail car,
where Iludsort was =eating his bed, as was hta
custom, when he observed several letters on
the floor. He returned with a light to search
more carefully, when nothing could be found.
Hudson was arrested, and three letters opened.
lie was conveyed to Chicago, where a partial
examination was had, and the boy eventually
confessed his crime. Mail matter has been
missed frequently on this route, : but no one
suspected the train boy. On the night of Sep
tember 10th, the bag sent from Chicago to
Quincy arrived at its-destination in due time,
but empty ; the entire contents having been
abstracted. This was, the work of. Hudson; as
now appears by his confession. Upon search
ing his trunks a large amount of mail rustier
was found, among which were drafts, notes,
land warrants, &c., amounting to $11,324,73,
all carefully enveloped in a handkerchief, In
view of the carelessness of permitting a boy to
enjoy such facilities as to sleep in the mail car,
the Chicago Tribune says : " One would sup
pose that a bed of plumply-filled mail bags
might grow a first-rate mail robber as readily
as a bed of guano a monster cabbage." -
THE SOWN MID ITS COTTON.—The Paris Mani
tear publishes a report to the Emperor by M.
Guerin-Meneville, on the result of the work
undertaken by the Emperor's orders for intro
ducing into France and Algeria the breeding of
a silkworm, procured from China, producing a
very strong silky matter, which' for ages past
has keen used to make a material for the cloth
ing of the poorer classes in that country. The
experiment has been exceedingly successful, and
the reporter is sanguine of the new silkworm
producing, in the course of a few years, sufficient
silk to furnish the clothing of the working
classes of France, to the exclusion of cotton,
which now forms the staple of the apparel of,
the working population.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
SENATE.—The House bill to provide for the
paymentof outstanding Treasury notes author
izeing a loan etc., was called up.
Mr. RICE, (Minn.,) objected to taking it up.
Mr. CAMERON, (Pa.,) was in favor of consid
ing it. The bill was taken up by a vote of 39
yeas to 37 nays.
The ten million treasury note bill was re
ceived from the House. Mr. RICE moved its
reference to the Finance Committee. Agreed
to.
The resolution of Mr. POWELL, referring that
part of the President's Message relating to do
mestic affairs to a select committee, was taken
up.
Mr. Thus, (N. H.) offered a resolution in
structing the Committee on Military Affairs to
enquire whether the expenses of that branch of
the public service cannot lie reduced without
detriment to the safety; and if so, that they be
instructed to report to what extent and what
particular broach or branches can be dispensed
with or reduced. The resolution was adopted.
Mr BIGLER (Pa.) then took the floor, having
yielded it yesterday for an adjournment.
Housz.—Mr. COBB, (Ala.,) said he did not
rise to make a speech, but to express his anx
ious desire that the Select Committee should
commence business and present the result of its
deliberations in some tangible form. His hope
waslowever faint, as to any useful result. If
anything was to be done to save his State from
secession it must be done at once.
The House then voted and refused to excuse

Mr. HAWKINS. (Florida,) Lest silence should
be construed into consent to serve on the corn
mittee, he wished to say, with all deference

his request, that he would not serve.
Mr. BOYCE ' (S. C.,) asked to be excused from
serving on the committee.
Later News from California.
FORT KEARNRY, Dec. 10
The Pony Express from San Francisco passed
here at 5 o'clock this morning, bearing a pack
age containing the following advices : The full
election returns have been received from every
county in the State, showing the total vote to
be 119,597, thus divided :
For Lincoln 38,702
For Douglas 38,060
For Breckinridge 34,041
For Bell 8,794
Notwithstanding this heavy vote, it is stated
that the new census gives the State only about
400,000 population, showing conclusively that
the census agents have not faithfully performed
their work.
The suits of the United States vs. Beverly C.
Sanders, and the same vs. Angustria Haras

1852,. while Collector of the port of San Fran

Position of the North-Western Demo-
erotic Members of Congress.
WeamveroN, December 11
The Democratic members of the North West
have had several Conferences relative to the
present condition of political affairs. They
generally take the position set forth in Mr.
M.'Cletnand and Mr. Vallandlgham's speeches
of yesterday, namely: That the'Union cannot
be peaceably dissolved ; that the North-West,
under no circumstances, will consent to be cut
off from the Gulf of Mexico and city of New
York • that the Government, whatever may be
its faults, is of inestimable value. The leading
idea is a Central Government embracing the
Middle, Western and Border Slave States, but
depending for its consummation on future cir
cumstances.
Lieutenant General Scott will arrive here to
morrow.
Louisiana Legislature in Session.—Nes
sage of the Governor.
BATON ROUGE, DEC. 10.
The extra session of the Louisiana Legislature
met to day. The Governor's message exerts
calmness and deliberation,
and says that the
election of Lincoln shows that the northern
mind is poisoned against the South ; that the
wise councils of our fathers are forgotten and
the fraternal remonstrances of the south dis
regarded.
He recommends a convention, and says that
Louisana ought not to refuse to meet her sister
slave holding States in council to demand from
the North the repeal of obnoxious legislations,
and a guarantee against future similar mea
sures. He says that these questions should be
met before the inauguration of Lincoln, be
cause the self respect and honor of the State
does not comport with her remaining under a
black republican President. A resolution has
been presented for the erection of a military
board, and asks an appropriation of $500,000
for the purchase of arms for the volunteer
companies.

I thouAt I was dreaming. Quite wIl with surprise
For an instant I closed both my mouth and my eyes;
The former, lest speaking the spell I might break,
The latter to prove I was really awake.
Above me, beside me, before me, around,
Was scatterel the semblance of all that's been found
Remarkable, beautiful, laughable, gay,
Since the world was created, e'en down to to day.
Each object was fraught with most wonderful grace,
And look where I would, naught but beauty I'd .ace.
The mist of bewilderment passing away,
I noticed a camel hitched fast to a dray,
Who qu'etly pulling his bur iep along,
Preceded a queer but magnificent throng
Of torts, and princes, musicians and nuns,
Coraleted knights, and soldiers with guns,
Shepherds and students, peasants and Icings,
Women in wocden shoes, ladies with wings,
All on a pilgrimage, bound for a shrine

In a grove in their rear an elephant grazed,
While lions and tigers looked on quite amaze!
At an ox, who declared—the benevolent beast—
He was fattening himself for a Christmas feast.
Some reindeers from Lapland, come birds from Brazil,
Each holding a diamond, or pearlin its bill ;
Arabian horses, and stately giraffes,
A arum looking bear, which actually laughs,
Alligators from Egypt, and hogs from Japan,
A monkey which danced quite as well as a man,
American sheep whose musical bass
Were accompanied by donkey's more musical brays,
All peacefully shared the delights of that grove,
And seemed ruled by no power stronger than love.
A few steps beyond was assembled a group
Of Chinamen dining on rich kitten soup.
While Japanese Tommy, the witty young noodle.
Regaled them with snatches from old Yankee Doodle.
A venerable schoolmaster sat in a corner,
His name I believe was Ifynkeer Dinglettermen
Teaching twenty-four inching, nsnuar him they stood,
Their ah, bay, isay lesson. The sight did me good.
Behind him en arsenal cooly revealed
Its treasures of cannon, swords, lances and shle'd,
But each from its duty had found a release,
For the motto that ruled, was "In Union there's peace?'
Garibaldi played checkers with kings in disguise,
John Brown promenaded with Henry A. Wise,
And Blue Beard who killed his inquisitive wives
Was giving Paul Pry an account of their lives.

Surrounded by friends, both the small and the great.

While honest Ben Frankl.n jogged on by his side.

Rocked dear little babiea ; while fairies with eyes
Bright as candles, and dresses of snowiest white
Looked on with expression of purest delight.

And sweetmeats to heal the most obstinate colds ;
