burg, to be Postmaster for said city.
We are under many obligations not on
ly to-the appointing power, but also to
those who so nobly and successfully advo
cated our claims. We can assure•them
that such friendship shall never be for
gotten whilst a sojourner upon this earth;
and we shall conduct the affairs of the
office in such a manner as will give satis
faction to alrparties, and show the public
that the office has not been unworthily be
stowed.
Secession Plot in Missouri.
The secession element in Missouri is
making desperate overtures to carry that
State out of the Union in defiance of the
conservative sentiments of the people. A
committee has been appointed by. the
State Convention to investigate the charge
that a plot has been formed to overtbroW
the Convention and compel the secession
of the State. The St. Louis Democrat
has the following exposure of this move
ment :
"The appointment of .a committee to inves
tigate the charge made through the columns
of the Republican, viz : that a secret movement
is on foot to overthrow the convention and take
the. State out of the Union, will probably lead
to some ; startling disclosures. There is very
little doubt that underground lodges have been
organized in many parts of the State, with the
view of carrying the southern revolution to
our uttermost borders. Some districts are
honey-combed with these pestilential secret so
cieties, whose name in day-time is Minute
Men. We thank Judge Birch for moving fora
committee of investigation, and the convention
for complying with the call. The members
have had sufficient evidence before their eyes,
since their advent to St. Louis, of the vile
traitor-spirit by which the disunionists are ac
tuated. The secession flag was flaunted from
the head quarters of the Minute Men (corner
or Fifth and Pine) in the face of St. Louis, but
more especially in the face of the convention.
The insult was expressly levelled at the mem
bers because they were understood to beattach
eil tolhe Union. What rendered this demon
stration peculiarly offensive was the fact that
its authors bad been just mustered into the
service of the State by Gen. Frost, and had
taken the oath to support the Constitution of
the United States.
4 "We take the liberty of informing the gen
tlemen of the committee (Messrs. Birch, Zim
merman and Breckinridge) that nothing less
than a thorough investigation will satisfy the
public. There is full power in the convention
to send for persons and papers, and so carry the
torch of in.:lv:dry 5e.44. tho_datirpat _rowegatm and_
retreats of the conspirators. The gentle
mairto whom the diabolical project was broach
ed no other, we understand, than Colonel
Bogy', of whom we must say that he has ac
quitted himself like a true man and loyal citi
ten, in refusiog to be accessory to it by his
slier:We. It certainly can be no sham plot when
Col. Bogy felt himself impelled by a sense of
loyalty and honor to do what be has done tc
counteract it. Let the traitors be dragged
to the light by whatever name they call them
selves—Knights of the Golden Circle, Minute
Men, &c. Let them be dragged from the high
places of the State, if found there.; from the
very seats of the Governor and Lieutenant-
Governor, if treason is found squatting in those
seats."
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR LOUISIANA.
Louisiana may still have an opportunity
to show the strength of the Union ele
ment among her population, if the pro
posal •to submit the Constitution of the
Southern Confederacy to them for ratifi
cation should prevail. Such a proposi
tiohisnow being discussed by the State
Convention, and has been urged by the
Legislature. It has - been asserted, with
out-contradiction, that the State actually
oast a majority of votes for the Union at
the election for delegates to the Conven
tion. Should a popular vote be allowed
now, it may exhibit the fact that Louisi
ana still prefers to stand by the old
Union, by the rejection of the new -Con
stitution. It remains to be seen whether
the Convention will venture upon the ex
periment.
SIOESSION NOT RECOGNIZED. -Mr.
Faulkner, our minister at the Court of
France, has been officially assured by M.
Thonvenal that no delegate from South
giplino, or from any other seceding
States, has ever been received either by
the Emperor or by himself. This may be
considered as indicative of the determina
tion of France to offer no recognition
whatever to the "Confederate States of
America," and as emphatically stamping
its disapprobation upon the secession
movement.
TEE ELECTION IN YORE on Friday
seems to have been an exciting contest.
There were two tickets for borough OM.
eers—atepublican and "Union"—the latter
being an attempt to fuse all the elements
oppposed to the present administration.
Meetings were held and speeches made,
and as thorough a canvass made as in
more exciting and important elections.—
The fusion, however, was not successful.
Mr. Semi Lanius (Republican) being
molected Chief Burgess over William
Larimaster, (American 'fusion,) by 39
majority, -For the other offices candidates
on botliktiidrets worelelected, the prepon
derance favoring the Republicans.
SECESSION AND THE METHODIST
CHOW/I.—The Baltimore and East Bal
timore Annual Conferences of the M. E•
Church, now assembled respectively at
Staunton, Virginia, and Chambersburg,
Pennsylvania, are discussing The ap
proval or disapproval of the new chap
ter added to the Discipline of the Church
by the last General Conference, making
non-slaveholding a test of membership.
The feeling in the Church is very high
on the subject, and it is expected that
the controversy will'result in the division
of the Church, the membership opposed
to the new rule preferring separation
rather than submit to its provisions..--:
The memorial to the Baltimore Coni`er=
ence, which was adopted by the Conven
tion of Laymen held in Baltimore in
December last, contained a very emphatic
censure of the action of the Buffalo Gen
eral Conference. The result of the action
of the Conferences will be looked for milli
interest,.
TEE OTHER "ABOH-BEN-ADHEM. " —
The following , ingenious and witty parody
of a poem universally known, is from a
a feminine pen. The tart and somewhat
'malicious allusions to "rye" refer we
suppose, to the President's letter to some
Western friends, acknowledging, with
thanks, the receipt of some excellent rye
whiskey :
Jamas Buchanan, may his tribe decrease,
Awoke onetaight from a strange dream of peace,
Ansi saw, within the curtains of his bed, •
Making his Mother eye to squint with dread—
Old Jackson, writing in a book of gold ;
Exceeding rye had made Buchanan bold,
And to the stern ea President he said, •
"What writ'st thou r , The spirit shook his head
The while he answered, with the voice of old.
"The names of men who ne'er their couniry sold!"
"And is mine one 4" asked J. B. "Nark!" cried
The General, with a frown. Buchanan sighed .
And groaned, and turned himself upon his bed,
And took another nip of "rye," then said,
"Well, ere thou lay thy record on the shelf,
Write me at least'as one who sold himself /
Wamoca' and 'rye' so long my spirits were,
'ThaVvehen the 'crisis' came—l wasn't there l"
The - General wrote, and vanished. The neat night
He came again, in more appalling plight,
And showed the name that all true mete detest,
And lo I Buchanan's name led eel the rest I
THE SURRENDER IN TEXAIL—The
San Antonia (Texas) "Herald" says that
the following is' a iist of the property
given to the State by Gen. Twiggs :
1,800 mules, valued at $5O each $90,000
600 wagons, " 140 " 90,000
950 horses, " . 150 " 142,500
600 harness , . " 60 " 25,000
Tools, wagon materials, iron, nails,
horse and mule shoes 250,000
Corn (at this post)
Clothing,
Commissary stores,
Ordnance stores,
Total, $1,229,500
Exclusive of public btWigs, to Wain
the Federal Government has a title.—
Much of the property is'estimated at the
original cost, its value in Texas being
much greater, and worth to the State at
least a million and a half of dollars.
"PATRIOTS" OFF/CIESEEKING.—Orte
of the Southern clerks who resigned his
office under the government at Washing
ton from 41 patriotie motives, and went to
Montgomery to tender his services to the
Southern Confederacy, has written to his
friends in Washington that the govern
ment is "'no great shakes" after all. He
and a compatriot applied for office, and did
not get anything but a vague promise.—
He says that there are five times as many
applicants for office there under the South
ern embryo Government as there are in
Washington, and that the town is so be
seiged by this class of persons that the
hotels charge three dollars and a. half per
day, The rush for army and navy com
missions is unparalleled, and the town is
actually overrun by office-seekers; bat
the offers of men for the ranks of the
army are proportionately small.
SENOR Luxs MOLINA, who has so ac
ceptably, during several years, represent
ed the Republics of Costa Rica and Nic
aragua, at our capital, has been promoted
bp the Republic of Nicaragua to the rank
of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary. On Saturday, at two
o'clock, he was formally received by the
President, On , being presented by the
secretary of State o he addressed the
President, saying that the higher rank
thus conferred upon him is intended as a
token of the great regard of the Govern
ment and the people of Nicaragua towards
this country. The President replied , in
appropriate terms.
LANCASTER POSTMASTER. , ---eiChn J.
Cochran, Esq., editor of the Lancaster
Union, has been appointed Postmaster for
that city. This is a good selection, and
will no doubt be entirely satisfactory to
our Republican friends in Lancaster. We
are glad to see that the new Administra
tion properly appreciates the services of
the editorial fraternity.

A LOBBY SWINDLEIL—An extensive
swindle is said to have come to light in
New York within a day or two. The
story runs that a well•known official, hold
ing a State office, was entrusted with
$30,000 or $40,000 by certain parties, a
few weeks ago, to engineer through the
Legislature of New York certain contracts;
but that, instead of using the cash to
grease the machine and secure the con
tracts, he put it into his own pocket, and
decamped for parts.as yet unknown.
