WHEN WILL THERE BE PEACE?
A new order of men are beginning to assume
influence and control in the government, and
when they have fully taken possession of the
Legislative and Executive branches of our 'sys
tem, then there will be peace in our midst, and
confidence and respect shown for us once more
abroad. For sixty years the government has
been in the hands of the consuming classes.—
We were accustomed to be ruled by men who
looked upon the mere system of government
as one of the obtuse sciences, which could only
be defined and mastered throu t ih the intricate
paths and influences of diplomacy. The con
sumer was regarded as the prop of the govern
ment—while the producer remained unappreci
ated, neglected, and often despised. Every act of
legislation seemed to tend from, instead of to
the benefit of the masses, until at length the
people, weary of being deprived of their full
share in the power of the government, inaugu
rated a new order of politics by breakingdown
old party association and bends, and erecting
for themselves such platforms and policies as
they deemed most conducive to their prosper
ity; There is no doubt whatever that the
revolution in politics has had much to do with
the rebellion in the south, because the changes
which have been made in northern society
within the last thirty years looked to the ele
vation of all labor, and made the mechanical
genius of the people the highest boast of every
community. The development of society in
thefree states was another source of evil to
threvetrogade movements in the South—and
thus as power after power arose in the path of
this• new order of men, their influence and
might could Ito longer be misunderstood by
the influence which so long controlled this
government. Hence the rebellion. The power
which had monopolized the patronage of gov
ernment for so many years, could not give it
it up without a struggle; and hence again, the
pretext and ‘ hypooritical plea of suffering,
wrong and persecution. There was no wrong
ent4lained din the south, no objection made
*the masses of the people in the north par
ticipating in the franchise as long as the pa
tronage 9f government was distributed among
the people of a few particular states. But when
the labor that sustained the government as
serted an equal share in its patronage and
emoluments, the rights of those who had grown
fat in places of profit were suddenly jeopard
ised, and could not be re-assured and secured
by any other means than by a rebellion, which
the rebels would have the world believe is a
revolution to correct error and vindicate the
truth.
When will there be peace f When labor is re
cs*Lised as the source of our prosperity, and
the mere possession of wealth not made a merit
among those who aspire to govern. When this
ikdone there will be peace—and until it is done
there will be an irrepressible conflict, banishing
ay ,
~ hope of peace and harmony in society es
well as government. This is not aggrarlanism.
Ilia not the refusal to acknowledge the achieve
mutts of men, or to recognize their superiority
so far as their success is concerned. It is the
titian:done to effort and ambition, the encour
moment to honest purpose in that which we
desire to have recognized—labor. Wherever
labor has been recognized and encouraged,
litotes and communities have prospered. Where
,fie reverse has been the practice, and labor
*been degraded by oppression and neglect,
yieme i teie evils of ignorance and indolence have
Alm ttes molt. Let the states that are in re
isollicm cultivate and encourage free labor, and
s abot lOU % sooner vindicate themselves from
wrong th,u they can by carrying on a hundred
campaigns, or fighting a thousand battles. Let,
Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Missouri build up a system of home
-mechanical production, by the encouragement
of free mechanics, and they will soon rank with
proudest and most powerful Commonwealths
the north, set at rest the Idea of aggression,
Mel inaugurate a peace on this hemisphere
which will be undisturbed by any competition
or jealousy that can possibly originate among
themselves: Such a peace as will be secured by
, the complete harmony of our institutions wilB

THE GOVERNMENT.
There is something noble in the present po
sition of the American Government. On the
4th of March last, when Abraham Lincoln as
sumed power, he found the Government in the
utmost possi hie confusion, and in a condition
verging on anarchy. Who can imagine the
scene, when, at the first meeting of his cat
net, the different secretaries informed each
other of the real condition of their depart
ments? The Treasury was empty and bank
rupt. The Interior Department was in the
hands of thieves, its bonds scattered among the
speculators of the country, marked as worth -
has by the felonious manner in which they
were procured. Traitors held the avenues to
and from the War Department. In the Navy
Department the Government bad scarcely a
true friend. And thus throughout all its, branch
es, the President and his cabinet found them
selves surrounded by such difficulties as were
never cast into the path of any body of men
called to govern a great people. In the midst
of these embarrassments, the great masses of
the people demanded therestorationof the Gov
ernment to its ancient position of respect for
law and 'order. With this delinwi ringing in
the ears of the administration :tame another of
au insolent character, demanding audierice fur
the representatives of rebels, and threatening,
if refused, the demolition of the administration
and the overthrow of the Government. His
tory will deal with these facts at some future
period; but as we view them now, and particu
larly when we behold the first sign of the re
turning powe'r and majesty and force of the
Government,' we would be ungrateful and un
just if we did nut express the highest admira
tion and applause for those who have been thus
instrumental in rescuing the country from its
impending ruin.
In two months the Administration have suc
ceeded in partially crushing a conspiracy that
had been in operation for a quarter of a centu
ry preparing for the final subversion of the
American government. In two months they
have literally reorganized the Union, gathering
its scattered strength, repairing its broken
bonds, restoring its lost credit, and giving har
mony and alacrity to its forms and proceedings
throughout all its branches. The history of no
other government that ever existed contains
the record of such achievements. The record
of conspiracies such as was at work in this gov
ernment exhibits bow triumphant they .have
been, and low successful they were in the over
throw of power that was often upheld on the
shields and the bayonets of immense armies.--
But in this instance it has been crushed out as
much by the firmness of.the Administration as
by the use of any mere force. The mere display
of military power did riot so much irtimidate
the conspirators as did the declaration and as
sutance of the Government that they would
enforce the law and oppose its violation at all
hazards and all extremities.
In the eyes of the nations of the world free
government has been fully vindicated. The ac
tion of the Administration of Abraham Lincoln
has fully demonstrated the power and efficiency
of free institutions, and the capacity of the
people for free government: At the first: call
of the President for aid, the response from the
loyal Slates at once dispelled the fear of the
spread of treason. The Government was smite
in the confidence of the masses where the mob
was not dominant to overawe the spirit of alle
giance. Even in the states most affected with trea
son there was a strong Union feeling dormant in
every community which was prevented from
expression by the most startling intimidations
and threats of danger and death. But this,
too, is fast giving way, as in the case of Mary
land and Western Virginia, where the friends
of the government are openly proclaiming their
determination to maintain its authority, and
where the government itself is fast asserting its
majesty, and wielding the power guaranteed
to it by the Constitution under which it exists
With these facts before us, we deem it our duty
to accord to the administration of Abraham
Lincoln that approbation which is the due of
the faithful and patriotic. We deem it our
duty. also, to point the people to the same facts,
and ask them to join in thus approving the la
bors of the President and his cabinet. At we
now revere the memory of Washington as the
father of his country, may not those who come
after us respect the memory of Abraham Lin
coln as the vindicator and preserver of that
country.
TRH CAM' 01 =VTR.
In the severe trial through which we are now
passing, the government of the United States
has the truth for its justifkation of allthat it at
tempts. When we point to the rebels, we canny
conscientiously, that it is true they are attempt
ing to subver t the influence and destroy the pow
er of the most liberal government on theiface of
the globe. We can declare that it is true, and
be sustained by the facts, that the leaders in
this rebellion are all men who have been par
ticipating in this government Officially for the
last thirty years, and therefore, if the govern
ment has become corrupt, it is true that these
very men, the men who now make treason the,
pretext for their attempted revolution of its
errors, were themselves the authors of its cor;
ruption. It is true, too, that nosection itt this
Union has been equally benefitted by direct aid
from the federal government, as the section in
rebellion, and therefore the truth that they are
adding ingratitude to intrigue is as apparent as
the truth of their conspiracy is abhorent.—
Louisiana and Florida were purchased to satisfy
the spirit which nolr assumes the attitude of
revolt. The protection to free labor was
abridged and almost abolished to appease the
same element of disobedience. The war with
Mexico was provokeffiby its insolence. And it
hasbeen accustomed eofar to miry its dictation
and demands, until it has culminatedin an act of
treason against thesevernment of its own cre
ation. Pampered, petted and,praised,,the peo
ple of the slave states did not any longer regard
themselves as responsible to , government.

rights—and this truth, when it is interpreted
to fix the responsibility of the people to the
government. in so far as they shall peaceably
obey its laws, until they can be changed by the
legitimate process of 'legislation, must constitute
the shame of those who are in rebellion to
their constitutionally appointed rulers. The
truth of this rebellion is in the ingratitude of
the rebels. The truth of the opposition to that
rebellion, lies at the foundation of our gov-
ernment, and constitutes our main strength as
a people and a nation. It is obedience to the
authority of the law—respect for she legitimate
system of our government, as contained in its
orderand justice: - With - this truth the admin

With its force, and power and mighty influence,
it is determined to sustain the government.

TRIF NORTHERN CENTRAL RAILROAD.
The wanten destruction of property on this
road .by the people of a city who were most
benefitted by the running order of the same,
has induced the company to remove the ac
counting office, shops of construction and re
pair and other establishments conntcted with
the enterprise, to the city of Harrisburg. No-
tics has already been given of the removal of
the accounting office, in the following card :
In consequence of the interruption of ac
cess to this citf via the Northern Central Rail
way—the principal bridges between this point
and the Maryland line having been burned—
I have been directed to transfer the business
of this office to Harrisburg, Pa., to which place
all communications in reference to the acoonnts
of the company must be addressed, until fur
ther notice. By order,
J. S. Lars, Treasurer.
All the machine shops in Baltimore, under
the control of this road, have been closed,.and
from intimations contained in our Baltimore
exchanges, we learn that it is not the intention
of the company immediately to rebuild the
bridges that have been destroyed, and that it
will take six months to put the road between
Baltimore and the Pennsylvania line, in com
plete repair and running order. The damage
sustained by the company is not less than
three hundred thousand dollars—a bill - Which
the good people of Maryland will be com
pelled to pay by their own courts of law.
The addition of the Northern Central Railroad
shops to the business of this city will b9,yery
important. This was the original point best
suited for such a purpose, and here their shops
should have been located at the commencement
of the enterprise. We have more facilities of
supplying material for construction at this
point—it is a cheaper and healthier locality of
abode for mechanics than Baltimore, and being
located almost in the centre of the road itself,
it is the proper point for the operations - of the
company.. Layiog atide the necessity of the
company by danger from mobs and incendiaries,
the policy of removing their accounting offices
and shops to:this
,point is justified by a desire
of economy se well as geographical advantages
over the southern terminus of the road.
HAD TREASON TRIUMPIIIID, what would have ,
been the result? This is a question which con
cerns the workingmen and mechanics of the
country, because the conspiracy that has so
long been organizing its forces in the South,
was concocted to abridge the power and limit
the influence of the working classes of the
United States. Had it succeeded, what then ?
All labor would have been brought to a com
mon level, and made entirely subservient to
the absolute control of capital. It would have
been shorn of its franchise, embarrassed hi its
development, arrested in its progress, and si
lenced in its voice in all the councils of the'
government. By such a treatment the degra
dation of labor became Inevitable. By its de
gradation, the arguments egainsts Its participa
tion in the government would acquire force,
and thus the aristocracy which animates this
rebellion, and which basis its right to rule on
the justice of slavery, considered that its
eventual triumph would be universal and
complete. All the wrongs that the rebels com
plain of, are constituted by the fact that the
workingmen of the country were becominF too
powerful Slavery objected to the growing in
fluence of free labor, and demanded its suppres
sion or restrictiort: The occupation of the
territory of the nation by the free mechanics of
the north and east, was another wrong, another
evil in the estimation of the supporters of sla
very—and from all these evils, the awful evil
originated of opening territory to the labor of
freemen, of making it the refuge of
freedom, and of consecrating it entirely and
orever to free speech, a free press and a
free pulpit. Had this rebellion succeeded,
these dreadful evils of freedom would have been
crushed as slavery crushes all the instincts and
aspirations rof humanltf. Had rebellion ex
panded and succeeded, the free North worild
have been degraded—the teeming West blight
ed, and the industrious East enervated by an
association with slavery, because as sure as the
secession flag of. the rattlesnake had 'unfolded
it length and breadth from the domes of the
federal capital s the black flag of slavery would
have been floating froni the cipital of every
commonwealth. in the land. Who can doubt
that such would have been the result? Who
does not rejoice at the escape from its shame

J.6,oraioNvium, April 27, 1861.
"STRIPES AND STARS" IN PAUL'S AND
ARMSTRONG VALLEY.
Our business brought us to Park's eastern
store, in Paul's Valley, on the evening of the
26th of April. We were not long at the place
before we learned that there was to be a 'flag"
raised later in the evening. Of course we ar
ranged matters so as to be present, a number
having come from a good distance. All pre
sent`were very enthusiastic indeed. Cannons
not being accessible, several anvils were load
ened and discharged, the echo of the report of
which was heard seconds after, as it bore "o'er
hill and dale" the testimony of the people's
love for the UNION. Several bonfires. were
lighted, and hearty cheers given for the "Stare
and Stripes."
On the following evening we came to Jackt
sonville, in Armstrong Valley. At which place
when we arrived, we feeind the peopleaf the
place and, vicinity busily engaged in preparing
to airspeed a "Bed White and 81ue, , "
in siz,
16 by 13 feet .. All lendinga helping hand, the
work was soon accomplished. This being done;
it was suggested and agreed to that we would
raise another. ,Among the most active and en
thusiastic participants of this worthy enterprise
is one of our present Directors of the Poor,
Simon Daniel.
On Saturday, the 27th inat., we again at
tended an ausemblage of the inhabitante.of the
same place, Jacksonville- and vicinity. The
object of the meeting 'was to organize a guard
to protect or guard our homes, . There were
several hundred Falzon - present, about forty of
whom were immediately murdered into a i
rank and drilled about one hour under the com
mend of Captain Johnir.. M'Gann. .Then thel
company proceeded to the school house in said
town, where an address was delivered by Dr
Nonamaker, of Fisherville. Many loud and
hearty were the cheers given for Major Ander
sow,' Brave soldiers, and the Union. The
regulatioUS :for the future government of the
aforesaid company were made, read and adopt
ed ; officers'elected, and a vigilance committee
of eight was appointed to investigate the
charges preferred against' two men of the
vicinity, who seem to favor the courre..takerf
by the South. People In favor of the. South
who desire to live would better not too freely
express their opinion In this neighborhood.
The company as raid was formed for the pur
pose of protecting-theimmes of the people, and
therefore it was kuggpsted and sgread to that
the Company should - reoeive the name' "Home
Guard.' ' •
In..conchision we have linktpagyastiatt we ,
sincerely hone, and earnestly pray, flat the
hand of every disunionist may be stayed--every
difficulty attending this - nation- settled—and
that ere long ma 'arum &rails may uppeur
among other nations of the world_ "as a lily
autaig thorn.'"
