have heard me who will say. hese arc the words
of a zealot or of a fanatic ? I have only to say,
in answer, I . have spoken the sentimentea'

forests which were planted by the hand of God,
in which all things are free, and if we are zealots
in the cause of freedom it is because we have

We want no other teacher, being sure that any

President Lincoln's Cabinet.
This subject seems to agitate the, cowl t
try press 'considerably. It is well under
stood that• Gen: CAMERON has no par.tieu
lar ambition , to exchange his seat in' the
Senate of the United &a
, •
- 1511
tJabinrt. In - fact, he has Often
declared that he could accomplish more
for the.henefiC of his native State in the
fernier position than he could in the Cabi
net.' Having been an ardent advocate of
a Protective Tariff all his life, he has a.
natural clebire to carry `his. darling object,,
through the Senate, and obtain .the signa
ture of President LINCOLN to a bill which'
would at once elevate the laboring; en of
the North to their proper position. We
have always been in favor of keeping:Gen.
CAMERON an the Senate, where his ser
vices can be properly felt and carried into
effect;;' but since. President LINCOLN, has
actually requested him to occupy- a posi
tiouid his Cabinet, we are surprised" to
learn that any remonstrance , against his
appointment should come from, a State,
the interests of which he hoe so much at
heart. • Gen, CasiAnort, was the choice of
Pennsylvania for President. Onehimdred
antitwenty-eight delegates_ appeared in the
State Convention to insist upon-his-nomi
nation, whilst but roust men were eleeted
in opposition to him under the single dis
trict system. We must. ail adniit that
Gett ')EI,AMErtou has bitter enemies, 'and if
he had none, he would be of, very - little
aceduei;' but we solemnly
_protest that
the savings of a few intereeted.7fidt - TA4u not,
be taken as the voice of ' , this great State.
We ace `certain that wa:- speak the-senti
ments- of --the great , Republican party of
Perkohlvaida When we assert that
_Gen.

feefiiigrand accept the-position BO gener
ously,. tenfiered to him by: Preeiclent L/N
-COP?: Gen. CAMERON can be of great
service to the interests of Pennsylvania as
Secretary of the Treasury. The revenue
bills are shaped in that office, and we can
rely upon a proper protective system with
him at .its head A. better financier
cannot f9und in this State, which
is so essential in .a department, left
bankrupt by the 'present Adtninistra
titan; any ,porson deludes himself with
the idea that Gen. CAMERON` is not first in
the ...hearts of the Republicans of this
State; lee him look at the position of the
public men of the State. Gov. CURTIN was ,
supported and elegieLiaameadmailillig
was at Chicago in person advocating his
nomination for the Presidency. All the
candidates for the United States Senator
ship,. during the late canvass, were open
and avowed friends of CAMERON. The
State Treasurer, elected this day by the
unanimous choice of his party, is an, open
and avowed friend of the General. The.
Speaker - of the Senate, and all the promi
nent officers in that body ; the Speaker of
the House, and all its, prominent officers;
together with threefourths of the members
of the Legislature, are for Gen. CAMERON,
and we candidly believe that , if it was, the
desire of the General to •occupy a seat in
'Algoma's Cabinet, an almost unanimous
recommendation could be obtained for
- lAibir at the Press of this State—
not a.solitary one, so far as we have been
able to learn, has expressed a dissent. All
of them demand from Gen. CAMERON that
he lei aside his, own private feelings on
the subject and accept the position ten
dered him. We conclude this article by
giving extracts from influential papers in
this State.
The Centre Demoefati, the 'home organ .
of llov. Curtin, who has:lgoe been inaug
-
urateiirsays : "Gen. Cameron's appoint
ment to _ a -peat in tho Cabinet is hailed by
everyjoier of the Union with joy, as in
digatiie of the character of the incoming
Administration, as Gen. Cameron is known
tohe-,pre-eminently a national man, and
no Other appointment- could at this time
have po greatly' complimented the con
servatiye:_igit:s"oolo3., In everything
necessary to make a statesman, Gem Came
ronis unequaled, he is not even lacking
in that true zeal . of .greatness,; the. envy
and malignant hatred of =those who aesire
his fame; but lack:the brains to emulate
it. Gen. Cameron will be a' tower of
strength to the new admistration, and as
a popular _'appointment would indeed_ be
hard to equal."
The Reading Journal, a paper which
preferred another gentleman for President,
says: ‘ , Wfe are happy to learn, on what
:are c.ops.idey reliable authority, that Gen.
Cameron.is certain - to have a place in Mr.
Lincoln's ,Cabitiet, theugh the particular
(1441.n:tent:of which he is to have charge
is still a matter of future arrangement.—
The Republicans, and we may say the peo
ple, of Pennsylvania, almost .to a man,
earnestly desire that ,he should be named
for the Treasury :Department, believing
that in-thatlicisition" he would best advance
;not-only the interests of this great State,
'but of the :nation ..at large. It is' said,
'too, that, Gov. Seward, who is to be the
remter under the ne itt AuturnOtta
extremly solicitous that Mr. Cameron
should`be chosen for that Department.--
Tie this as it may, Mr. Lincoln, if he de,
sires to compliment Pennsylvania by a'
Cabinet appointment, cannot do it more
effectually than by the selection of Gen.
Cameron to the.post above named."
We have our table filled with extracts
like the above, but consider these suffi

publican party of this State.
Pennsylvania in 1820
Many of our young readers may not be
aware, that Pennsylvania was forty years
ago, as she is now, true to the Constitution
and the Union. In the year 1820 her
Legislature adopted the following pream
ble and resolutioni
F~at(q I~IYY ( UY=f NM~LVYI~~ii Q~74~i :+P/N Wyi:[ ellY:l.~ 4~YY~U~
MOTION OF SLAVERY INTO NEW STATES
The Senate and House of Representatives of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, whilst
they cherish the right of the individual States
to express their opinions upon all public meas
ures proposed in the Congress of the Union, are
aware that its usefulness must in a great degree
depend upon the discretion with which it is ex
ercised ; they believe that the right ought not to
be resorted to upon trivial subjects or unimport
ant occasions, but they are also persuaded that
there are moments when the neglect 'to , exer
cise-it would be a dereliction of public duty.
Bach an occasion as in their judgment de
mands the- frank expression of the sentiments
of Penns lvania is now presented. A measure
the United States, and will probably be as earn
estly urged during the , existing session of that
-body, which has a palpable tendency to impair
the political 'relations of the several States,-
-which is calculated to mar the social happiness
-of: the present and fritrire generations, which - if
adopted would impede the march of hiimanity
and freedom through the world, and'ivould hi •
fix and perpetuate an odious - stein upon: Jim
present race ; a measure, in brief, whibh:prepa
ses to spread the crime•and crueltiesof - slavery
-horn the bataks.of the Mississippi to the shores:
of the:Pacific. -
When Measures of this character are serious-.
ly adirocated in the Republican -Congress of
America in the nineteenth century, the several
states are invoked by the duty •which they owe
"the Deity, by the veneration which they enter
tain for the memory of thelotinders of the re
public, and by _a tender regard for posterity, to
'protest against its adoption, to refuse to cove•
nant with crime, and to limit the range of an
evil that already hangs in awful boding over so
large a portion of the Union. -
Nor can- such a protest-be entered by any
state with greater propriety that by Pennsylva
nia ; this Corninonvvealth has as sacredly re
spected the rights of-other States as it has peen
careful of its own ; it has been the invariable"
aim of the people of Pennsylvania 'to extend to
the universe by their example, the unadaltera=
ted blessings of civil and religious freeddmilt
is their pride that they have been at all'times.
the practical adiocates of those imprvernettts
and-charities amongst men, which ; • '
calculated to en: • 1,..
'''''
• a .ove al , they may
y were foremost in removing the
on of slavery from amongst them
If indeed the measure` against which Penn
sylvania considers it her duty to raise her voice,
was calculated to abridge any of the rights guar
anteed to the several States, if odious as slavery
is, it was proposed to hasten its extinction by
means injurious to the States upon which it
was unhappily entailed, Pennsylvania would be
amongst the first to insist upon a'sacred obser
vance of the'constitutional compact ; but it
cannot be pretended that the ' rights of any of
the States are at all to be affected by refusing
to extend thelnisChiefe of huirian bondage:over
the boundless regions of the west, a territory
which formed no part of the confederation at
the adoption of the constitution, which has
been but lately purchased from an European
power by the people of the. Union at large,'
which may, or may not be admitted as a State
into the 'Union at the - discretion'of Congress,
which must''establish a Republican form of
government and no other, end whose °lin:late af
fords none'of the pretexts urged for resorting,
to the labor'of natives of the torrid zone, such
a territory has no right, inherent or acquired,'
such as those States possessed which establish
ed the existing Constitution. When that Con
stitution was framed in September seventeen
hundred and eighty-seven, the.concession that
three-fifths of the in the Staten then'ex
;sting should be represented in'Congressi could
not have been intended to embrace regions at
that time held by a foreign power ; ou the con
trary, so anxious were the Congress . of that day
to confine human bondage' within its ancient
home, that on the thirteenth of July, seventeen
hundred and eighty seven, that body unani
mously declared that slavery or involuntary
servitude should not .exist in the extensive ter
ritories bounded by the Ohio, the Mississippi;
Canada and the lakes, and in, the ninth section
of the first article of the Constitution itself,
the power of Congress to prohibit the migra-:
tion of servile persons after the year eighteen
and eight is expressly recognized, nor is there
to be found in the statute"book a single instance
`of the admission of a territory to the rank of
a State, in which Congress have not adhered to
the right vested in them by the Constitution,
to'stipulate with the terrritory upon the condi
tions of such admission.
The Senate and House of RepreientatiVes of
Pennsylvania therefore cannot brit ,deprecate
any departure'frOm the humane and- enlighten
ed policy punitted, not only by the
Congress of oeventeen hundred 'inti'leighty
seven, but by their successors without excel).

with Governor Hicks. ' The Governor, however,
very properly declined to receive them in his
official capacity, intimating to them that Ma
ryland . was an independent sovereignty, and
could .manage her. own affahswithout the in:
terposition of Pennsylvania. He treated the'
gentlemen with all proper courtesy, but told
them that he was a Southerner and a•sltive
holder, and that his whole feelings and inter
ests were identified with the South. He further.
stated that from the present unpropitious aspect
of affairs, and the unyielding spirit manifested
by the Republicans,he was seriously considering
the adoption of some suitable method for an
expression of the popular will.- - -Bahhnore Sun
of Saturday. '
We find in the above Article an illustration
of the truth of the old adage,that "a Men must
go from home to find the news othis neighbor
hood." Governor Curtin has no authority to
appoint, nor did he appoint, commissioners to
visit the Governor of Maryland;on any subject:;
