Friday Afternoon, February 4, 1861.
.A.ppointmente by the Governor.
OFFIOIAL.
The following gentlemen have been
appointed as Commissioners to Washing
ton and accepted their appointment.
Ex Gov. James Pollock, Thos. E. Frank
lin, Wm. M. Meredith, Thos. White and
Wm. M. Freeman.
Hon. David Wilmot and A. N. Loomis
have also, been appointed, but the Gov
ernor has not heard from them on the
subject
The Cause and the , Remedy
It seems to us, at the present time, a
duty of obvious propriety that some expres
sion of opinion should be made by those who
took an active part in the Presidential can
vas in favor of Mr. Lincoln, in relation to
measures of conciliation and for the settle
ment of existing difficulties in our country. We
are quite sure we speak the sense of the masses
of this Commonwealth, without regard to
former distinction of party organizations,—
but particularly of those who supported . the
election of Mr. Lincoln, in saying that they
desire no tei ins or- treaties with such portions
of our deluded countrymen as have been mis
led into the position of rebels against the best
government ever established on earth ; except
such as may result from a sincere regard
for the Constitution, a love stronger than life for
our National Union, and a determined enforce
ment of the laws of the United States. These
are words of weighty meaning. By whomso
ever, or by whatever party employed, the can
did and honest American mind can recognize
in them no other signification than that unal
terable devotion to national obligations which
every true American heart instinctively claims
as the natural impulse, and the enlightened
conviction, of patriotic duty. But there are
portions of our countrymen, who, whilst yet
cherishing love for American nationality, and
surrounding it with-the fond recollections of a
a glorious past, storied with the memories of
the mighty deeds and the painful trials and
privations of a struggle, which whilst it made
its history alike the wonder and admiration
of freemen throughout the world, was re
cognized as the Providential probation for the
mission of America as a great nationality on
earth. These portions of our fellow-country
men, whom we recognize as brothers; still
mindful of their dear familiar ties, are now
withstanding the strong currents of pre) . -,
the inducements of customary associations, the
enduring links of habit and life-long pursuits,
the persuasions of imaginary interest; and, in
addition to all these ; the machinations and in
trigues of powerful and deaperate demagogues
who are *ging them by sectional appeals, in
flamed with all the excitements, which highly
cultivated intellects in all arts of political
management and address can employ,. to se
duce these loyal and true hearted Americana
from their allegiance to the government of
their fathers and ours. We need not say, that
the people to whom we refer, are those who
live in what are now popularly styled the
Border States: And here let us . remark, that
where we now write, is within a few hours of
the sacred battle field of Brandywine ; and as
the stirring historic memories of that conflict
come thronging to our mind, we cannot in the
heat of partisan feeling forget, that on that
eventful day, the Maryland and Virginia bri
gades,commanded by the Rhodelsland, General
Greene, eagerly rushed to the support of Wayne's
overpowered Pennsylvanians, and with the
steadrcharge of the bayOnet, retrieved the
..dis
aster of
.. their countrymen, and covered an im
pending and overwhelming defeat with all the
honors of a courageous rescue, and an honora
ble retreat. And we are taught by the instincts
of our own heats, however partisan passions
may have raged that memories like these, are
full of wise and just lessons to us that the men
of Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania and of
all the glorious thirteen, and their descendants,
are now, as then, fellow heirs of the dearly won
prize of civil and political liberfyv;
Thitis a
mind
which we well know is grateful
to the mind and heart of the people, but we pass
on to what is more especially the object of this
article. There is a strong belief in the public
mind, that the main purpose now ought to be,
as a means of sustaining the national power, and
employing it efficiently in maintaining our na
tional Union—to bring the border States into a
hearty accord 'with the proper action of the Gen
eral Government. As a measure to this vital ob
ject, propositions have been made in Congressin
tended to assure these States of a fraternal feeling
and pirrice, and to effect such an adjustment as
will be considered satisfactory by the moderate
portion of the Union. It is not our purpose here
to discuss particularly the merits of any of the
several propositions, made respectively by the
venerable and distinguished Senator from the
patriotic State of Kentucky, the Hon. John J.
Crittenden ; by the manly, able and statesman
like Representative from Tennessee, the Hon.
Emerson Etheridge, and by the clear-headed
Senator from Minnesota, the Hon. Mr . . Rice. It
appears noW,a simple affirmation of the feelings
and opinions of the great mass of the people of
the free States, that no just complaint shall ex
ist for the infririgement of Constitutional rights
of the = South, in . regard to the enforcement of
the laws for the rendition of fugitive slaves, the
protection of
. any of the ' States from invasion
or interferenee with the statue of slavery in the
States where it now exists, or by whatever may
be likely to impair the security of the rights in
volvttd . in the relation of these States toihe
lede government ; Malt iinow, as in truth
it always has been, cheerfully admitted, for the
most part, that any just and reasonable enact
ments intended to give an assurance of more of
actual guarrantees of admitted rights should
I readily and cordially be made. There is really
no disposition to withhold these miscalled con
cessions, except a natural feeling of pride which
resents the imputations of motives and purposes
that axe not cherished by the people of the free
States. The only essential feature therefore of the
several propositions now engaging the attention
of Congress and of the country, ought to be such as
is presentedin the propositions for a division by a
geographical line of common territories of the
Union. And in the outset, may we not ask ifsuch a
division of territory, for the arrangement of the
perplexing question of slavery,vvas at one time
quite satisfactory to the country,and when there
was less pressing necessity than in the present
day of danger and trial, is painfully impressed on
us, for moderation conciliation and forbear
ance, ought it not to be eminently satisfactory
now ? And should we not consider fairly,
frankly, and manfully, that substantially such
an adjustment' as is likely to be received by
the Border States, at this .time, was, for the
long period of thirty-four-years, agreeably ac
cepted by the great mass of the American peo
, ple, as a reasonable settlement of this question.
It is no time now for crimination and re-crim
ination ; but we may, all of us, we who re
sisted, and those who, in pursuit of mistaken
applications of popular theories, advocated and
supported, the disturbance and repeal of this
wise'and judicious settlement.; we may all of
us, now, deplore, that any fresh occasion was
given for renewal of agitation in a matter which,
by a large number of the American people, is
regarded as a dangerous disturbance of a social
and domestic institution of a portion of our
country, which, however repugnant to our feel
ings and judgments, is felt to possess intrinsic
difficulties beyond the power of practicable
measures for immediate extinction.
And we may be permitted also to say,that the
violation of this settlement, commonly known
as the Miisouri Compromise, has practically
given rise to all the agitation on this question
which at this day is formidable to the appre
hension of statesmen, and which portends such
calamitous consequences to the country. Doubt
less, the opposing convictions of the people on
the subject of slavery would-have produced va
riant views in, regard to political administration
where the question of slavery was in any way
involved. But we are now admonished by the
dangerous agitation of this subject during the
past six years, and the frightful proportionswhich
its results now assume, how wise, beneficent, and
in the justest sense, humane, was the settlement
of this terrible question in 1820, by which dur
ing the long period of thirty-four years our be
loved country was pertuitted to enjoy as much
peace and immunity from agitation as could
possibly be expected whilst such a potent source
of discord existed among us. And is it not the
height of ingratitude for us to forget our obli
gation for the progress in material and moral
power and greatness, and the innumerable ben
efits which have been showered upon_ us as a
Nation and a people during that period.
of - tne - statesmen of 1820
to eradicate this evil ; and in- this, reason and
experience acknowledge their practical wisdom.
Their purpose was to prevent its attaining the
power of mischief which would inevitably ensue
by unchaining all the fearful energies, of which
its ilierent powers for injury were so fearfully
capabre to their enlightened and patriotic com
prehension.
We are well aware, however, that there are .
many earnest, truth-loving and patriotic citi
zens who believing that a final arbitrament of
this question must come ; and that whilst the
statesmen of 1820 were mistaken in postponing
it; that delay now, in bringing it to a final and
determinate issue, would be notmerely an error,
but under the admonitions of past events would
be enlarged into the proportions of crime. This
assumption is not only unsustained by the facts
of our history, but is rather due to the imagi
nations of the ideal blessings of a Common
wealth wherein political affairs are subjected to
the domination of pure abstractions ; and were
we to follow implicitly in political affairs such
guidance, it would not be difficult to foresee the
social disturbance and inevitable anarchy which
would be produced. Full of unutterable woe
for civilization will be that day, when men ig
nore the mysterious but fearfully significant
teachings of the economy of Divine Providence,
that evils are tolerated in the world. And sad
enough have been the lessons of experience,
when men with the imperfections that pertain
to our mortal natures, have attempted in the
administration of political concerns a higher
standard of aim and an ampler scope of effort
than a wise humility would teach as commen
surate with their powers. It is quite true that
we are bound in duty to confront the evils that
exist in society, but we should nevertheless
look the facts squarely in the face, that whilst
the administration of political affairs should
remedy, as far as may be, social evils, yet it
should always seek a due proportion of the
means to the ends which political relations can
only with Safety einploy.
This wise spirit, however sadly misrepresent
ed, and even more lamentably, misapprehended,
by the Southern States, has really actuated the
Republican Party of Pdimsylvania, and, as we
believe, of the Union. These men are neither
visionary theorists in politics, nor sentimental
humanitarians.
Tney have, in the consideration of the sub.
ject of slavery in the political relations of the
country, regarded it as a ToLREtATKO Eva and
in every expression of their authorized decla
rations of principles, have set forth as an evil
to be tolerated within those constitutional pro
visions which a dutiful regard for their political
obligations to their fellow-countrymen, enjoins
upon them. It is in this spirit that they have
recognized the "impregnable ramparts " by
which State lines have surrounded it, however
complicated it may be in the relations of the
Slave States to the Federal Government, and
whatever obligations might be imposed thereby
on the citizens of other States. It is a serious
mistake of fact and purpose, that because
whilst tolerating an evil, they refuse support
to any policy looking to, or capable of its per
petration, and : as necessary :thereto, - its' in:
definite extension ; that therefore, they have
declared such hostility to it as will justify
Penno»lvania Zelegretvl); friball 'Afternoon, februarp 1, 1861.
any Portion of their countrymen in the
assertion that any rights enjoyed and ac
knowledgedhave beeninvaded or threatened by
them. On the other hand, whilst this tolera
tion of Slavery and immunity from any inter
ference where it is now established is maintain
ed by the Republican party, it is difficult to
concieve where there can be any warrant or
support in its principles and intended purposes
for those declarations of "no more compromi
ses" which we sometimes--and we fear with fatal
warnings—hear. It may be, that compromi
ses, may have proven insufficient, but we should
never lose sight of the important fact, that it
was the violation of the compromise of 1820,
which made the Republican organization form
idable; that in truthit derivedits power fromthe
popular belief that it was a party organized
to vindicate,: the sanctity of that compromise,
and to demand atonement for its violation. It
is sadly true that such utterances, sometimes
proceeding from an intensity of feeling, unre
strained by prudential motives in times of high
political excitement,possess serious capacity for.
mischief. But they cannot be accepted- as the
delibeiated expressions of the purposes of the
masses who voted for Abraham Lincoln in Penn
sylvania.
It seems only right to assume, that if the bzist
ence of Slavery in the States where it is now.es
tablished as apartof their political and social and
economical syitem, is, recognized by the Republi
can party,as a necessary part of the compromises
of the Constitution, secured in every necessary
form by compact, and for the security of which,
they, have given every assurance, and are even
-now willing to give superfluous guarantees, that
the same motives of expediency and solicitude
for the public good, and the same liberal spirit
of toleration, should lead to a fair and candid
consideration of the propriety of other compro
mises in this matter, if they can be arranged
without conflicting with the paramount princi
ples which have actuated the Republican party
since its organization in 1856.
The essential principle of that party, on this
vexed question, has been opposition to the ex
tension of Slavery, under the plea set up by some
of the Southern Statesmen, and unfortunately
adopted by the larger portion of them in . the
Cotton States ; that Slavery of its own proper
vigor, could, would, and, should, exist, in any
Territory of the Union, where that existence
might be asserted, by any slaveholder, in virtue
of right of property in his slave, in the State
where he had formerly held him.. The mon
strous doctrine was set up, that this right was
absolute;—not merely guaranteed by the Consti
tution of the United States inform, but existing
by an antecedent right to which even Con
stitutional forms were conditionally sub
ordinate, namely, the sacred right of, pro
perty. It was very plain ,forthe great mass
of the people of Peruisylvania, who have
been taught that the brganic law of their
State, asserts the inviolability of property,
against any legislative enactment, except on
the conditions of compensation, tb see that tbia.
-extreme rinetvine_oLof_the_Sonthem Statesmen,
must inevitably lead to the•zteogniticm. o s„ s3 l2._ ,
very, in its so claimed essential feature of pro
perty in every State of the Union. If slavery,
as they most wrongfully contended, could be
carried into any territory of the Union,' and be
held as property, without, or in defiance of local
law, and therefore be entitled to the protection
of the Constitution of the United States, 'it was
difficult to see why it Could not in the same
way be carried into any State of the Union; and
consequently be established there. The poorest
man in Pennsylvania, knows that his property
cannot be taken away from him by any power
in the State, without adequate compensation on
ascertainment being made in due form of law ;
and as he has always been trained in the belief
that the Constitution of the United States is the
supreme law of the land; and that all State
Constitutions and laws are Subordinate thereto,
he cannot see how any property entitled to the
full unquestioned protection of the Constitution
of the United States, can fairly and legally be
deprived of the protection of the Constitution
of Pennsylvania. The entire immunity
of slave property from State legislation in Penn
sylvania, would therefore inexorably ensue, if
this outrageous doctrine were tolerated. This
was the radical idea presented to the Pennsyl
vania mind on the subject of slavery extension;
but there were more immediately practical con
siderations, also presented, in the theory of an
artificial balance of power, for the Slave States
to offset the inevitable increase and 'growth of
political power, in the free States,' from their
legitimate develop:Pent of,the recognized normal
element of true political power in States—
namely, the increase of free population, which
was effectual in determining the Pennsylvania
mind, against the novel pretensions which had
been set up.
The doctrine of the right of slavery extension, •
,in virtue of its recognition as property, without
local law to give it that character, is one of
such pernicious nature, and really so offensive
to the people of the free States, and the conse
quences of which would be so fatal to the free
dom of the country, that no settliment could
be effected which would involve a recognition
of this political heresy. It would necessarily
lead to that dreadful alternative, so plainly
presented by Abraham. Lincoln, of the States
becoming "all slave."
In that regard, it is quite true there can be
no compromise.
But, wodo not understand the propositions
offered in bongress for the satisfaction of the
Border States, to involve an admission of any such
error, and it is not easy to see, how a mere di
vision of common territory, can be assumed to
present the features of a dangerous and fatal
sacrifice of principle.
The questions at issue, as presented by the
Border Mates do not offer irreconcileable - an
tagonisms, viewed by the light of the pur
poses of the Republican party in Pennsylva
nia. And we are very sure if, during the last
canvass, an issue could then - properly have
been made, substantially, for the re-enactment
of the Missouri Comprondse as a mode of set
tlement of the question of slavery ; as far as
it was implicated in that election ; thatit would
have been supported by an overwhelming major
ity of the people of Pennsylvania, 'and it would
not have needed the troubles already . expe
rienced, and the apprehension of the impending
calamity of civil war, to have determined their
suffrages in its favor.
The Republican party of the Union, has in every
possible way, assured the people of the country,
that it did not seek any interference with the
institution of slavery in the States where it now
prevails, and would prevent by the force of the
government ; if in the power of that party to
wield it ; any invasion of, or interference with
the rights of any, and all of the States, 410 re
spect of the question of slavery, in whatever
form that invasion or interference might be at
tempted. Now it is exceedingly difficult to
avoid the conclusion that this plain recognition
of slavery in the States where it now exists, in
volves the maintenance of a compromise on a
question, which is assumed by extreme men, to
present an essentially antagonistic and irrecon
cilable contest.
But it will be objected that even if this view
should i be a,dmitted, it does not therefore, sanc
tion the idea that extension of slavery in any
case f in whatever degree, may be justifiable or
propei. This objection we firmly maintain, for
we do not believe the recognition and support of
slavery in the States, carries with it any right
to extend it, but we must contend that such re
cognition and support does imply the propriety
and duty, under given circumstances, to make
compromises in relation to a matter with which,
as established,we can see no possible way at this
tzime, in which it can be possibly settled forever
.on a definite and final basis. And we also assert,
that itwas against the indefinite extension of slavery,
under the pretensions set up by. the Southern
ultraists, that the people of Pennsylvania, voted
in the election of Lincoln—so far. as slavery
was concerned. The question of any compro
mise on the question was' not, it is true, pre
sented to them, any further than as it was im
plied in the cheerfully admitted obligation to
recognize and maintain it in the States where
it is now established.; but it is entirely safe to
assume that this obligation did commit the
Republican party to an antecedent compro
mise in the support of the acknowledged
rights of the States *here slavery is a part of
their social and political system. The, query is
full of portentous significance ; if the affirm
ance and support of a compromise on this ques
tion in the slave States, does not violate the
conscience, or contradict - the principles of the
people of the free States ; why should it be as
sumed, that their consciences would be offended,
or their political principles be sacrificed, by a
geographical division of the territories of the
Union between the free and slave States.
There is sometimes a fatal tyranny exer
cised over the minds of men, by the force
of words which have acquired, from purely
accidental causes, an odious signification.
.And it is only reasonable to believe that among
the masses of the loyal and true-hearted Amer.
leans who voted for Mr. Lincoln, there are
many whose hearts are. nowiyeaming for the
adoption of some measures of conciliation,
which are not only not repugnant to their cher
ished convictions of political duty.; but would
make but a small part of what, out of their
conscious etfengt-h., they could inaaly-givo.l-. •
are — riTellod from offering or yielding any so
called concessions, because, and only because,
of the unhappy memories connected with the
violation of, the time honored Mims°tui Com
promise.
But we regard the allotment of a portion of our
common territory to the Southern States as in
volving no compromise of principle ; much less
do we consider it any sacrifice or abandonment of
any of the rights which the Free States con
tended for in the Presidential canvass of 1860.
We may regret, as unhappily there is too much
cause, that any of our countrymen should need
assurance from us that weintend no violation of
their acknowledged rights under the Constitu
tion and the laws. But, ifneedful, ought we not,
all of us, be willing to iterate and re-iterate, in
resolution or in statute, any expressions that
might be desired against interference with them
in their cheerfully admitted rights.
We earnertly trust that in the wisdora,moder
ation and patriotism of those whom the people
have selected to guide the affairs of the nation, a
safe and henprable way may be found for the
deliverance of our once happy country from its
present troubles, and its portending calamities-

not only of your daughters before It be too , lite, but atm

Read what the Press nay after thoroughly testing the
matter, and no one can have a doubt.
PROF. WOOD'S RESTORATIVE CORDIAL.—It is tee
corded in classics that Payche was once sent to a climate
warmer than the Went Indies to procure a sample of the
beauty of Proserpine in a box. After Born, delay the
messenger returned, and as soon as the lid of the box
was removed out flew all the I lis that flesh is heir to.—
Fortunately hope was found in the bottom of the box.
Prof. Wood's Restorative Cordial revives the recollection
of the story, for It invigorates the blood, aids the organs
of digestion, imparts strength to the nervous system, and
fortifies the citadel of health, so as to bid defiance to the
amanita of &same. It is a healthy tonic, composed en
iffely of vegetable productions, and while it is eratlara-
Ling as pure wine, no injurious results can possibly follow
Its use. It. Is a. desideratum-hi the medical world, and
those who are Milictedwith loss of Appetite, Dyspepsia,
Consumption, Faintness, giddiness, Neuralgia, pulpits.
'Von of the Heart, dm., will hate find an Infallible panacea.

PROF. WOOD'S RESTORATIVE CORDIAL and BLOOD
RENOVATOR is, without doubt, the best Tonic Cordial in

ant.** the lasteilt is strengthening to the system, and
will at once tend to remove ad Impurities of the blood,
and eradicate all traces of disease.• It can be taken by
the weakest stomach, while those in good heal h will at
once feel its exhilarating power. We are confident that
after using one bottle of this cordial none will be for a
day without it.—" New York Leader."
A PURE, HEALTHY TONIC, and one free from th
deleterious and injurious effects sure to follow those in

combined from th e vegetable kin gdom as to act in per
fect accordance with the laws of nature, and thus soothe
the weakest stomach, and at the same time allay net ,
Vous and other irritations, and tine up all the organs of
which the human body is composed, is offered in Prof.
Wood's Restorative Cordial and Blood Renovator. Hence,
