HARRISBURG
Friday Afternoon, December 14, 1860.
The Duty of the North
The duty of the people of the North in
the present crisis is plain. If Southern
States will secede—if nothing short of
humiliating concessions and submissions
on our part to the demands and dictation
of the Slave Power will satisfy them—
why then let them secede and take the
consequences. The time has come when
the whole South should know that the
North are Unionists—that they desire and
prefer the Union to remain intact. But
if the Southern States are bent on seces
sion, the North can, and will, take care
of herself. In the present crisis nothing
can be gained by fawning and truckling
—but everything depends on taking a
firm position on the principles of justice
and freedom, which are the basis of our
constitutional law. During the political
canvass the great issues were brought be
fore the people ; and with these issues
before them the States have elected, con.
stitutionally, the candidate who is to be
President of the United States for the en.
suing four years. And this is being made
the occasion of secession by some of the
Southern States— for the election of Lin
coln is not the real cause. The spirit and
inclination and desire and impulse cf se
cession have been cherished by politicians
South for years—and now they seize on
the Republican triumph as the occasion
for inaugurating and popularizing their
movement. We have a right to presume
—it were unjust to make any other pre
sumption—that the. Administration of
Abraham Lincoln will be constitutional.
The principles embraced in the Republi
can platform, the antecedents of Mr.
Lincoln, and the Constitution which he
will be oath-bound to execute faithfully,
will all preclude his official interference
with the institution of Slavery in the
States. So far as the measures of Gov
ernment have an application outside of
the States, he will doubtless favor freedom
—and for the very good reason that Free
dom, and not Slavery, is the genius, the
spirit and the life of our National Gov
ernment. Let the people stand firmly by
the Constitution and the Union of our
country, and the storm will pass and bring
good weather in due time.
Southern Wrongs.
In spite of, or in consequence of, a very
stringent and unnecessarily severe fugi
tive slave law, the South has cause to
complain of occasional connivance on the
part of some of the people of the North
in the escape of fugitive slaves. This
grievance will probably continue, to a
greater or less degree, till the Almighty
remodels human nature, and eliminates
the love of liberty from the heart of the
slave of the South, and the sentiment of
sympathy from the breast of the free men
of the North. But, in the meantime, the
people of the South reap some advantages
from the Union which they seem to over
look ; for, not to mention the general
benefits to all sections, and the peculiar
benefit of mail facilities, at an annual cost
to the Government of millions over and
above the income, the Government has
paid for the acquisition of Southern terri
tory, and for the prosecution of wars in
the interest of the South, the following
items, amounting in the aggregate to no
inconsiderable sum:
Louisiana, (purchased of France) . $ 15,000,000
Interest paid 8,387,353
Florida, (purchased of Spain).... 5,000,000
Interest paid 1.480,000
Texas, (for boundary) 10,000,000
Texas, (for indemnity) 10,000,000
Texas, (for creditors last Congr'ss). 7,700,000
Indian expenditures, all kinds... 5.000,000
Mexican war 217,175,575
Soldiers' pensions and bounty
land' 15,000,000
Florida war 100,000,000
Soldiers' pensions 7,000,000
To remove radians. 6,000,000
Paid by treaty for\liew Mexico.. ; 15,000,000
Paid to extinguish Indian titles.. 100,000,000
Paid to Georgia 3,082,000
Total
If the South had been left to her own
resources, with free trade and direct taxa
tion, the figures would not have run
quite so high, and she would not have
been in a condition to "wax fat and kit*"
out of the traces in the prospect of imagin
ary evils.
Tns fundamental principle of our gov
ernment is, that the minority submit to
the decision of the majority, and if this
principle be abandoned, anarchy ensues.
Tire Democratic party at Charleston and
Ailtimore, rather than allow a minority of
ieoessionnto to control the Convention,
nominated Douglas and allowed the se
ceders to secede. They can now certainly
find no fault IT the people, or the Repub
licais party, will not allow themselves to
be governed by the same body of treason
able diSuhionists.
No Abandonment of Principle
During the progress of the late exciting
political campaign which culminated in
the election of the Republican Presidential
nominees, every principle of our party
was fully discussed and analyzed, and no
man cast his vote for Lincoln and Hamlin
who did. not recognize in his vote the great
central idea of the Chicago Platform—that
slavery is a moral, social and political evil,
though we have not the right or disposi
tion to interfere with it in its present
limits, and though all the privileges guar.
anteed to it by the Constitution should be
granted in the letter and spirit, yet it
ought not, and must not, be extended over
free territory. Every Republican voter
knew that in casting his ballot he endorsed
that idea. And so accordant was it with
the not yet extinct spirit of freedom in the
popular heart, so accordant with the nat
ural instincts of right and justice, that it
swept like a whirlwind over the North,
carrying every State, and showing an en
thusiasm without a parallel in our history.
And since that election no Republican
Congressman cap doubt the opinions of
his constituency. The proposed compro
mises seek to bring about an abandonment
of this central idea of the Republican
Platform, and some patched up recognition
of the Dred Scott Decision, such as to
satisfy for a time the demands of South
Carolina. There is nothing for us to re
tract—we must not depart a hair's breadth
from the Chicago Platform. South Caro.
lina being in the wrong altogether, it is,
her duty to abandon her position, to re
store harmony and peace. If she does
not, the loss only is hers. If this question
is to arise at every quadrennial election,
it is useless to postpone the consideration
of it, for a brief period, by patched up
compromises, but it may as well be settled
now, at once and forever, whether it is the
true Republican principle tint majorities
must rule and minoritities submit.

THE UNION MEETING IN PHILADEL
PHIA —The North, American says of
Judge Woodward's speech, delivered at
the Union meeting yesterday, that 4 ‘ it
was offensively partizan, radical and in
temperate. The sentiments he uttered
will do far more to afford a pretext for
revolutionary discord than all that any
demonstration for concession can allay."
A CONSTITUTIONAL MONANCIIT.-A correspond
ent of the Columbus (Ga.) Times advocates
that the proposed Southern Confederacy shall
be organized as a "Constitutional Monarchy."
Republicanism he thinks has been tried and
found wanting, and the only safety of the
South is in a "strong government." A cor
respondence of the Enquirer, published in the
same place, thinks that if the South wants a
king, it should "get a descendant of George the
Third, as it would be difficult to make one of
American stuff, for the reason that so many aspi
rants would consider their claims set aside if
not elected to the office, and might rebel."
Mr. Bartow, a secession leader in Georgia, ad
vocates a " strong consolidated government"
and the abolition of all State Governments in
the Southern Confederacy. Where are we
drifting? Secession is bad enough, what will
follow it ?
"Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind."
UNRELIABILITY OF CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
Two men took shelter in a barn for the night.
In the morning one of them was found dead,
with severe injury to the head. The comrade
was at once arrested, and told some " cock and
bull" story about the terrible storm on the
night in question, and attributed his compa
nion's death to the effect of a thunderbolt. He
was not credited, and was in a fair way to be
executed for the supposed crime. A scientific
gentlemen, hearing of the circumstance, ex
amined the place and found a hole in the roof
of the barn, and an aerolite close to the spot
where the deceased had slept on the night in
question. The innocence of the accused was at
once considered as established, and be was
released.

WRIT o MANDAN - 0S AGAINST TIM GOVERNOR
OF Ouio.—Governor Magoffin, of Kentucky, or
dered a motion in the Supreme Court for a
writ of mandamus against Governor Dennison,
of Ohio, growing out of the latter's refusal to
surrender a fugitive upon the requisition of the
Executive of Kentucky. If the motion fails,
other steps will be immediately taken.
No State of the Union ought to do a better
business than Kentucky daring the next twelve
months. She cultivates hemp, and there is
hardly enough in the United States at this time
to hang all the noisy, desperate politicians who
have merited ropes.

Arrival of the Steamer North Star.
NRW YORK, Dec. 14
The steamship North Star has arrived from
Aspinwall, bringing the California mails of the
21st ult., and 1053,000 dollars in gold. Fier ad
vices have been anticipated b the Poney ex
press.
Cam —The Chilian Congress has extended
extraordinary powers to the President till Sep
tember 30th, and has also sanctioned the pro
ject of sending a Minister to Rome.
The Araucanider Indians, to the number of
two or three thousand, were advancing on the
coast. The Government had sent troops to op
pose them.
PERU. —The Peruvian Congress had granted
extraordinary powers to the President for the
prosecution of the war on Bolivia. Castella
would be able to raise 30,000 men. The gene
ral impression, according to a letter from Lima,
is, that the Peruvians will be whipped.
Expected Resignation of Gen. Cass.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14
There is good reason to believe that Gen.
Cass intends resigning the position of the Sec
retary of State. indeed it is reported that the
President has been so informed, but will not
dissuade him from his course. There is no
doubt that Assistant Secretary of State, Pres
cott, has resigned
The cotton sales today amounted to. 5,000
bales, at 91- for middlings. The market is
steady.
The steamer New York, with Liverpool dates
to the 28th ult., has arrived. Her intelligence
has been anticipated.
Congress not in Session.
WASHINGTON, December 14.
Netiher house of Congress is in session to
day, having adjourned over till Monday.
The cohdemned slavers, Storm Bing and Tri
ton, were sold at auction to-day. The first
brought $3,500 and the Triton $2,025.
THAT MARYLAND REGBIRNT.—Some days since
the Governor of South Carolina announced to
his Legislature the receipt of an offer from
" PHILLIP HARRY lint, Major Commanding the
Twenty-Second Regiment, Maryland Volun
teer Light Horse," stating that his regiment,
1,300 strong, bad unanimously resolved to
march to the aid of South Carolina. There
was joy in Columbia, thereupon. The Balti
more Patriot spoils the offer as follows :
The fact of this offer was published by us a
few days ago,
in a dispatch, which was then
considered ahoax, or was dated in mistake. It
is, of course, needless to say, that no such regi
ment or Major belongs to this city. The "gal
lant Palmetto flag" did wave one short hour,
some nights since, over a few rowdy foreigners,
at the Liberty engine house, and whether !Ma
jor" Lee, or "Bony" Lee, was present, hiStory
has not yet notified us. If Governor Gist has
no more reliable "aid and comfort" than the
Maryland Volunteer Light Horse can furnish,
he is in a hopeless and helpless fix—that's all.

WART SOUTH CAROLINA LITENDS.-It seems
that South Catolina has decided to have no con
ferences or consultations with any other South
ern States. In commenting on Gov. Gist's
Message, the Charleston Mercury says :
South Carolina does•not intend to have any
further offers of assistance . or of counsel on her
part rejected. Let each State now act for itself, and
by itself, upon its own sovereignty. She will then
be ever ready to commune with such of her
.neighboring sovereign slave States as may de
sire consultation with her, but not otherwise.
FIVE HUNDRED PILGRIM'S PROGRESS FOR ITALY.
At a late meeting of the Committee of the
American Tract Society, in response to an ap
plication for Italy, a grant was made of three
hundred copies of " Pilgrim's Progress," in
Italian. A benevolent gentlemen of this city
purchased two hundred additional copies, and
they were all forwarded in the same ship.
Italy is now an inviting field for the wide dis
tribution of evangelical truth. If means were
furnished, the Society might do much in that
country.—N. Y. Observer.

HEAD QUARTERS.
I thought I was dreaming. Quite wild with surprise
For an instant I closed both my month 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 scattered 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 mitt of bewilderment passing away,
I noticed a camel hitched fast to a dray,
Who qu!etly pulling his burden along,
Preceded a queer but magnificent throng
Of poets, and princes, musicians and nuns,
Corsleted knights, and soldiers with guns,
Shepherds and students, peasants and kings,
Women in wocden shoes, ladies with wings,
All on a pilgrimage, bound for a shrine
Called—Please guess its name, for their secret's not
mine.
In a grove in their rear an elephant grazed,
While ions and tigers looked on quite amazed
At an ox, who declared—the benevolent beast—
He was fattening himself for a Christmas feast.
Some reindeers from Lapland, some birds from Brazil,
Each holding a diamond, or pearl In its bill ;
Arabian horses, and stately giraffes,
A grum looking bear, which actually laughs,
Alligators Lorin 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 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 pood'e.
A venerable schoolmaster sat in a corner,
His name I believe was lifynheer Dingiestormer,
Teaching twenty-four urchins, asnear him they stood,
Their at, bay, tray lesson. The sight did one good.
Behind him an areenal cooly revealed
Its treasures of cannon. swords, lances and shie'd,
But each from its duty bad 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 or their fives,
Uncle Tom and his Cabin was there in great state
Surrounded by friends, both the small and the great.
John Gilpin was taking his unlucky ride,
While honest Ben Frankhn jogged on by his side.
S me horrid old ogres I saw with surprise,
Reeked dear little babies ; while fairies with eyes
Bright as candles, and dresses of snowiest white
Looked on with expression of purest delight.
Swiss cottages, sheep-folds, villages, towns,
Doge dressed up like dandies, old witches and clowns,
Lord Chesterfield changed to a smart sepia Jack,
Whiskerandoes who spring at &touch from a sack,
Victoria's bed with its rich silken fo'de,
And sweetmeats to heal the most obstinate colds ;
The loveliest bon bans lot Christmas trees.
Innumerable puzzles one's patience to tease.
My brains must be swept with a magical broom
E'er I tell all I saw in this wonderful room ;
At length glancing upward, lo I who did I see
But old Santa Claus looking down upon me.
The darling old gentleman looks as of yore,
He makes his head qearters at FELIX-) store;
And all that is comical, excellent, rare,
You'll find at his rooms—No. 10 Market Square.
