HARRIBBURG'
Tuesday Afternoon, Deeember 18, 1500
Advice for the Timid.
We think this a good time for those
Republicans who are getting frightened at
our victory, and propose to compromise it
all away because the South threatens re•
taliation and secession, to re-read and
ponder some encouraging passages in the
speeches made by Senator SWARD du
ring his Western tour prior to the election.
As a specimen of the clear ring of these
golden gems, we give a short extract from
his speech at St.
.Paul, on the issues of
the day :
Fellow-401one, either in one way or the
other, whet* you agree with me in attributing
it to the interposition of Divine Providence or
not, this battle has been fought, this victory
has been won. Slavery to-day is, for the first
time, notonly powerless, but without influence
In the American Republic. The serried ranks
of party after party, which rallied under it to
sustain and support it, are broken and dissolved
under the presents of the march—the great and
powerful march—of the American people de
termined to restore freedom to its original and
just position in the Government. For the first
time in the history of the United States, no
man in a free State can be bribed to vote for
slavery. The Government of the United States
has not the power to make good a bribe or a
seduction by which to make and convert Demo
crats to support slavery. [Applause.] For the
first time in the history of the Republic the
slave power has not even the power to terrify
or alum the freeman so as to make him submit,
and scheme, and coincide, and compromise. It
rails now with a feeble voice, as it thundered
in our eats for twenty or thirty years past.—
With a feeble and muttering voice they cry out
they will tear the Union to pieces. [Derisive
laughter.] Who's afraid? [laughter and
cries of "No one l"] They complain that if
we will not surrender our principles, and our
system, and our rights—being a majority—to
rule, and if we will not accept their system, and
such rulers as they will give us, they will go
out of the Union. Who's afraid ? [Laughter.]
Nobody's afraid ; nobody can be bought.
These are the words of a Statesman
who will not start at shadows, or run
away because somebody blusters. And
what is more, the temper of this extract is
the temper of the great body of the Re
publican party. Gentlemen who forget
this now will probably be reminded of it
hereafter4' The election of LINCOLN was
the triumph of a great PRINCIPLE; and
that principle must not be abandoned,
and the Republican party sacrificed upon
the altar of slavery. We are opposed to
any compromise where all the concession
is on one aide, and where nothing is pro
posed to be conceded on the other. The
whole thing is an absurdity. The truth
is, that after a long course of almost un
interrupted power in the Government, the
slave propaganda are beaten. Southern
politicians, foreseeing that, in the superi
or intelligence of the free laboring popu
lation of the free States this defeat must
come, have, for nearly a third of a cen
tury, been plotting treason, disunion, se
cession and a Southern Confederacy, that
there might be offices for those who would
be thrown out when Democracy was de.
feated. The Northern alders and abettors
of this treason, with their Southern allies,
having lost in a fair fight at the ballot
box, now attempt to obtain from - the Re
publicans, by threats of treason, what they
could not accomplish by an appeal to the
people. They demand a total and entire
surrender of every single item at issue in
the election. Are there traitors enough
to our principles to make any respectable
show towards this unconditional surrender?
W e trust not. The people expect their
Representatives in Congress to stand
squarely up to the principles of the Re
publican party, as enunciated in the Chi
cago Platform, and all who fail to do this
will be denounced and repudiated as
dough-faces and traitors I
Tau END or Secession ne Bums
Anna.—The last accounts from South
America represent that Buenos Ayres has
returned to the Argentine Confederacy,
from which it separated or seceded. The
act of reunion was consummated on the
12th of October, Gov. Mitre taking the
oath of allegiance before the assembled
populace_ in the Grand Plaza Victoria.
The people celebrated the reunion with a
solemn Te Daunt. The Argentine Con
federation was established thirty years
ago. It was a Federal Union of thirteen
independent States, with about a million
and a quarter of inhabitants. Buenos
Ayres was the , richest and most populace
of the States, and therefore the most im
portant. •

The Dissolution of the Cabinet.
From the Cincinnati 'Ca es.]
Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet is rapidly passing
away. Mr. Cobb, in the very hour of the deep
est peril, like a cowardly mariner, deserts the
ship. While the skies were clear, and not a
cloud was in the horizon, he remained at his
post ; but the sight of the first breakers was
sufficient ; Mr. Cobb lowered his life-boat and
struck for shore. This was the "unkindest cut
of all." He ought to have been the last to de
sert the craft, even though it was foundering in
the billows Of financial chaos. But there are,
no doubt, peculiar reasons why the late Secreta
ry of the Treasury desired to surrender his po
sition. He is the man whom the country will
hold to account for a large proportion of the
financial difficulties through which we . are pass
ing. His policy was miechievousin every sense
of the word. lie foresaw the crisis which he
and his friends had precipitated, and resolved
to "stand from under." He reminds us of the
fireman on the railway train descending the
mountain. When asked by the conductor why
he rode, on the coldest days, is front of the
fires, instead of behind them, he explained :
"When this train goes to the d-1, as go it
must, unless you have some other man to en
gineer that bller down this gorge. I want to be
on top 1"
Mr. Cobb, however, has not so good an ex
cuse tor that of the fireman, for he has been
laboring hand in hand with the chief engineer,
James Buchanan, and he Is bound by every tie
of honor to remain with the machine, even if
he should see, as the boatman say, cold water
rushing into a hot boiler. The plea of Mr.
Cobb, that he retires because he is afraid the
rights of his dear State of Georgia will be In
fringed, will deceive none but the Ignorant.—
Who has inflicted so serious Injury upon Georgia
as he? But for him and the President, the en
tire South would have remained quiet. He Li
the identical Samson that tied the foxes' tails
together, and set them loose in the cotton fields
of the South. Gov. Thomas will find he has
I assumed a heavy responsibility. fie has al
ready put out his sounding line, and found no
bottom, but it is because Mr. Cobb bad knock
ed the bottom out of the Treasury before the
reins fell into his hands. It will not be worth
while to search the public vaults, for they are
empty, and are destined to remain so until they
shall be recruited by a loan. On the whole,
the retirement of Mr. Cobb must be regarded
as a public blessing, for, though he bad accom
plished a great deal of evil, he bad not ex
hausted his abilities, and each day would have
added a new chapter.
The resignation, however, of Secretary Cass,
is a matter of very serious importance. Gen
eral Cass desired to send additional trcops to
So'nth Carolina, for the sake of securing the
forts against the possible assaults of a Charles
ton mob. Mr. Buchanan refused to comply with
the reasonable request of Maj. Anderson, the
Commander of Fort Moultrie, and Secretary
Cass signified at once his determination to re
sign. It is rumored that other members of the
Cabinet will shortly follow the example of the
Secretary of State, and the old public function
ary will find himself, one of these mornings,
like
The last rose of summer

Are faded and gone.
Third National Convention of Union
Prayer Meetings.
This Convention, composed of a large num
ber of delegates from the States, North and
South, which assembled in Washington city on
Tuesday, 11th instant, after a harmonious and
deeply interesting session, was brought to a
close on Thursday night last, in Trinity Church,
by a parting or farewell address to the dele
gates from Rev. Dr. Moraell, which subdued
not a few to tears of Joy that, in the midst of
these times of trouble in the political world,
brethorn in the Lord from seven or eight de
nominations could dwell together in unity.—
Among the proceedings none were of greater
national interest perhaps than the following
recommendation fora day of fasting and prayer:
Resolved unanimously, That in view of the pre
sent dearth of spiritual things in our Churches,
and the present dangers which threaten the
peace and prosperity of our country, this Con
vention do recommend to all Union Prayer
Meetings, all Christian Churches, and all pray
ing people, to set apart the first Monday in
January next as a day of humiliation and
prayer. .
Appended to this resolution is the following
appeal to Christians of all denominations
throughout the United States :
BELOT= BILITHIEN : In the name and in be
half of the Third National Convention of
Prayer Meetings in all parts of the United
States, assembled in Washington, December
11th and 12th, 1880, we earnestly invite you
to unite in daily supplication and prayer that
God may snow our nation. In our present
sore distress He alone can give ns help, for vain .
is the help of man. Let us humble ourselves
before God, and pray that our sins may be par
doned, and that the hearts of our people may
Sow together in Christ Jesus through the power
of the Holy Spirit. Happy is that people whose
God is the Lord. Let us have faith in Him that
He will spare us, and give not His heritage to
reproach, and that the troubles which npw dis
tract our land may torn to our salvation thro'
your prayers and the supply of thp spirit of
Jesus Christ.
The Convention which has put forth this sp.
peal and recommended this day of humiliation
and prayer was composed of delegates from the
Baptists, Episcopalians, Methodists, Presbyteri
ans, (Old and New School,) Moravian, Reform •
ed Dutch Church, United Brethren in Christ,
Orthodox Friends, Congregationalists, United
and Associate Presbyterians.
The Balance of Trade.
We have steadily maintained that the busi
ness relations of the country are now good, and
that the panic, except for political reasons, is
absurd. A very striking confirmation of Sill
opinion appears in an examination of the offi
cial reports of the'Secretary of the 'Treasury in
regard to the exports and imports for the last
five years. They are as follows :
Nzports. Imports. Rom.
1866 8326,964,918 $314,639,942 812,324,976
1867 862,949,144 360,890,141 2,059,003
1868 324,844,421 282,813452 42,231,271
1859 356,789,462 888,788,180 18,021,832
um 400 122,296 862,153,941 37,958,858
$1,791,470,241 $1,659,05,844 ' ;112,894,937
It is evident by these figures that there has
been a balance of trade in our favor for every
one of the past five years, and that in that time
it has reached the sum of $112,394,937 is our
favor. Considering the continued shipments of
4 0
cotton and the large exportation o grain this
year, it is no wonder that specie ginning
to come back. The truth is, tha [gland is
falling in debt with us. A little common sense
in political affairs and a little prudence in im
porting, will put the country in an admirable
financial position. If politics can be kept in
some sensible position the country must right
itself in a short time. •
Grimm FRIGHTENED.—The frequent lynch
ings in Savannah, Georgia, have at last attract
ed the attention of the Mayor and Connell of
that place, who denounce such proceedings as
wless and subversive of good order and secu
rity. A reward of one hundred dollars is offered
for the apprehension and conviction of the par
ties !copiloted in such outrages. The Savan
nah "Republican" approves of the proclarna•
Son, and says that the oldest, wisest and best
citizens of Savannah condemn the course of the

Wasataaa : In 18a and 1848 the Northern

compromise measures were passed agreeing that
the people of a Territory should decide the
question of slavery : And Whereas, by the late

their former position that slavery be excluded :
And Whereas, a number of Southern States
regard the late action of the North as
destructive of the equality of States and
their right to the common territory, and
have indicated their purpose to dissolve
their political connection. As such a result
would be disastrous to both sections, and if at
tended by civil war create horrors never before

quate to the exigency of the times :
And whereas,
in a similar difficulty our fath

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 hind
Remarkable, beautiful, laughable, gay,
Since the world was created, e'en down to today.
Hach object was fraught with most wonderfill man,
And look where I would, naught but beauty I'd lam
The mist of bewilderment pawing away,
I noticed a camel hitched fast to a dray,
Who quietly pulling his burden along,
Preceded a queer but magnificent throng
Ofpoets, and princes, musician and nuns,
Coreleted knights, and soldiers with guns
Shepherds and students,peasants and kluge,
Women in wooden shoes, ladies with wings,
All on a pilgrimage, bound for a shrine
Called—Please guess its name, for their secret's notmine.
o
In a grove in their rear an elephant grazed,
While runs and tigers looked on quite amazed
At an ox, who del:aired—the benevolent beast—
He was fattening himself for a Christmas but.
Some reindeers from Lapland, some birds from Brazil,
Bach holding a diamond, or pearl in its bill ;
Arabian bones, and stately giraffes,
A grum looking bear, which actually laughs,
Alligators 'from /quirt, and hogs tram Japan,
A moony which danced quite as well as *num,
American sheep whose musical ban
Were accompanied by donkey's more muSleal brays,
All peacefully shared the delights of that grove,
And - seemed ruled by no power stronger than
• few steps beyond was assembled a group
Of Chicamen dining on rich kitten soup.
While Japanese Tommy, the witty young noodle,
*Regaled tnem with snatches from old Yankee Doodle.
A venerable schoolmaster eat in a corner,
His name I believe was Myriam Dtimiesteraer,
Teaching twenty-four urchins, amen him they stood,
Their
Behind h i m a
anaemia cooly rty leoson. The Sight did me good.
Its treasures of cannon. swords, linen and shield,
But each from its duty bad found a release,
For the motto that ruled, was "In thdon there's peace."
Garibaldi played-checkers with Mime in diegtsm
John Brown promenaded with Henry A: alias,
And Blue Beard who killed his Inquinive wives
Was giving Paul Pry an account of their lives.
Bach. Tom and his Cabin was there in great state
Surrounded by friends; both the small and the great,
Jain Gilpin was taking his unlucky ride,
While honest Ben Franklin jogged on by his aide.
S me horrid old ogres I saw with surprise,
Booked 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,
Hogs dressed up like dandies, old witches and clowns,
Lord Chi:sterile* changed to a smart suple Jack,
Whiskerandedis Who spring at a touch from a sack,
•
Victoria's bed with its rich silken Ards,
And sweetmeat* to heal the most obstinate colds ;
The loveliest bonbon for Christmas trees,
Innumerable punks one's patience to tease.
My brans must be swept with a magical broom
Wee I tell an Isar in this wonderful roosi_j .
At length glancing upend, lo I who did / see
But old Santa (Ana looking down upon me.
The darling old gentleman looks a_ y Ore,
He - makes his head gloaters at M . :Mailbag;
- And all that is comical, tabeibia=l
You'll fi nd at his rooms—No.lo , et Square.
