THE STRENGTH OF THE GOVERNMENT
-OPINION OF BEERY CLAY.
Those who are ivhinifig about the tyranny' ,
and oppression, of our General Government, in
waging earnest war' gainst the rebellious states
would do well to remember the language of the
most renowned and patriotic. American states
men of former days. On the floor of the United
States Senate, in July, 1860, the following
words were uttered by Henry Clay :
"Now, Mr. President, I stand here in my
place, meaning to be unawed by any threats,
whether they come from individuals or from
states. But, after all that has occurred, if any
one state, or a portion of the people of any
state, choose to place themselves in military
array against the Government of the Union, I
am for trying the strength of the Government.
(Applause in the galleries ]
I am for ascertaining whether we have a gov
ernment or not, practical, effi.lent capable of
maintaining its authority and upholding the
powers and interests i which belong to the govern
ment. Nor, sir, am Ito be allayed or dissuad
ed from any such course by intimations of the
spilling of blood. If blood must be spilt, by
whose fault will it be ? Upon the supposition,
I maintain it, it will he the fault of those who
take the standard of disunion, and endeavor to
prostrate this government, and sir, when this
is done, so long as it pleases God to give me a
voice to express my sentiments, and an arm—
week and enfeebled as it may be by age—that
voice and that arm will be on the side of my
country, for the support of the general authori
ty, and for the maiutainance of the powers of
tnis Union." (Applause in the galleries.]
This is a full and perfect endorsement of all
that has been, or is proposed, in the present
war. How it puts to shame the timid or traitor
ous ones who now, in the midst of just such a
war, and for the same exalted purposes, raise
the unpatriotic cry of "peace and compromise!"
Or must we think that these men are more
humane and patriotic than Henry Clay! He
was willing to fight for his country in such a
war, and of the responsibility for the war and
all its evils, he says : maintain it will be
the fault of those who raise the standard of
disunion, and endeavor to prostrate this gov
ernment." Nearly a year later, in answer to
the inquiries of a friend, in a letter, dated
"Ashland, May 17,1851," he writes:
You ask me'what is to be done if South Car
olina secedes? I answer unhesitatingly, that
the Constitution and laws of the United States
must continue to be enforced there, with all the
power of the United States, if necessary. Se
cession is treason, and if it were not—if it were
a rightful exercise of power, it would be a vir
tual dissolution of the Union. For if one State
can secede, every State may secede, and how
long, in such a state of things, could we be kept
together ? Suppose Kentucky were to secede.
Could the rest of the Union tolerate a foreign
power within their very bosom? There are
those who think the Union must -be preserved
by an exclusive reliance upon love and reason.
This is not my opinion. 1 have some confidence
in his instrumentality; but, depend upon it
that no human government can exist without
the power of applying force, and the actual ap
plication of it in extreme cases. Hy belief is,
that if it should be applied to South Carolina,
in the event of her secession, she would be
speedily reduced to obedience, and that the
Union, instead of being weakened, would ac
quire additional Strength."
So may it be I And so it will be, if the citi
zens of the United States continue to manifest
a tithe of the patriotism and the manliness of
Henry Clay.
Tax Lanommut. &ENING Farms contained an
announcement, last week, of the death of John
L. Keifer, who was well known to the craft and
editorial fraternity of this state, as a man of
rare ability and the most varied accomplish
ments. Re combinedin his character the pow
ers of a painter, poet, printer and navigator, in
the pursuit of Any of which professions he
might have won a large and lasting reputation,
but in the cultivation 'of all of which he seemed
content with the achievement'of results tending
to the development'of the useful and the beau
tiful, satisfied to leave the credit and the
emolument to others, so that he was left to the
undisturbed contemplation of his own victories
with his pen and pencil,in poetry and in painting,
and this is the . disposition of genius, when it
is animated by a heart as manly and as unselfish
as that which 'Went down into the grave with
the cone of JOlin Keifer. The death of Mr.
Keifer occurred on-board the 11. S. steamer Pu
laski, at Montevidie, 'South America, on the
4th of August last.' He was acting a 8 Captain's
clerk, a responsible and respectable position in
the navy. There are those among our readers
in this city, who well remember John L. Keifer
as they read this paragraph, and those, too, who
will pause in lifes business to pay his memory
the tribute of a sigh ; while the writer of this
paragraph would be false to the truth of friend
ship, if he failed to remember him kindly and
gratefully as a craftsman and a friend.
A COSTLY RrnLLION TO SLATKEIOLDES.S.—A
Leavenworth paper'says it has information to
the effect that;onehunciredslavesleave Missouri
every day for X.ansas. At this rate, should this
rebellion hold.on fora year or so, it will need
no emancipation proclamation to make Missouri
a free State. In fact, her "manifest destiny" is
already clearly: foreshadowed. So much fo

The order regulating the business of allot
ment provides as followsfor its safe transmission
and appropriation as designed by the soldier
thus surrendering a portion or the whole of his
pay for a specified object
"The assignment of pay will be made on a
separate roll; similar to the annexed form, to be
executed under thesupervision of the captain or
immediate Commander of the recruit at the
time of enlistment; or of the soldier in camp.•
When completed, the allotment roll is to be
transmitted • to the Paymaster General, by
whom the deductions will be made on each sub
sequent pay !roll, and the aggregate amount of
each company's assignment will be transmitted
by him to the distributer named in the roll, to
gether with 6 copy of said roll.
L. Themes, Adj. General
"Per order,
The wisdom which devised this plan of af
fording the soldier an opportunity to exercise
that care for his family which no degree or con
dition of a man can justify him in neglecting,
must be sect,n.led by the volunteer before it
can become , a success. Of this we have no
doubt—in fact, the plan is already in operation,
and much good has been the result. We can
not too highly applaud the judgment and fore
thought of the Secretary of War, to whose
credit the allotment system in the army is
to be credited, and under whose untiring vigi
lance and energy it will become a messenger of
joy to more than one family, deprived, by this
wicked rebellion, of its guardian and parent,
absent in the struggle for its suppression and
overthrow.
THE VOTING IN CAMPS.
From all accounts, the voting in the various
camps in the vicinity of Washington, by the
Pennsylvania Volunteers, was not of the most
improved or intelligent character. - The Wash
ington correspondent of the North American de
scribes it as having been most Iposely, conduct
ed, and veryqew of the.votes, no matter how
honest the iritentions of the voters, were legiti
mately cast.; The volunteers, as a general
thing, having•their daily duties to perform, and
in hourly expectation of receiving marching
orders, cared very little who was or who was
not elected in Philadelphia: The few cunning
and designing ones took advantage of this apa
thy, and returns were made out as best suited
particular Orposes. If the result of the elect
ion depends 'Non the volunteer vote, it will not
honestly express the wishes of the people of
Philadelphiti, and the returns, when they are
opened in Nbvernber next, will show this to be
the case. In some of thecompardes the returns
are merely summed up, for instance, Doe 79
Roe 2—no tickets being used. In fact, in some
of the regiments the voting was not concluded
until yesterday afternoon, and no returns will
be had from some of the companies who are out
on picket duty for a week. Nia,stringent
fications being required, a number of votes . were
polled for the Philadelphia candidates by per :
sons who hal never been in that city. ; With
rare exceptions, the elections in the camps was
a farce and not a free expression of the will of
the people. ,
JESSE KENNEDY.
The official returns from the Cumberland and
Perry representative district, gives the gratify
ing result of the election of Jesse -Kennedy to
the lower house of the Legislature, by a• ma
jority of one hundred and fifty-one, exclusive-of
the army vote, which will Increase this majority
very largely. Mr. Kennedy is one of the prat`
gad men of his vicinity, and combines in his
character the voifiraticaur of integrity and in
depence essential to the success of a useful. rep
resentative. We dongratulate the people of the
Cumberland district on thiS election, as well for
their political:success as on the credit they will
derive from the representation of Mr. Kennedy
in the next session of the Legislature.
THE hasztsirtvarmsx Pormmens in Washing

city, who, according to the Prem, have, been
discussing the proposition to make John Cessna
Speaker of our legislative lionse of Representa
tives, would have done well before they entered
on their discussion to have ascertained whether
John was elected or not, as an essential •point
in the probability of •his Speakership. - They
can now turn from their discussion to the con
templation of the defeat of one of the meet
dangerous and corrupt politicians in the state,
by which defeat, ,too, .Pennsylvania has escaped
an indescribable amount of disgraceand shame.
GONIE TO ST. Lours:—Hon. Messrs: Dawes of
Massachusetts, Steele of New Jersey, and 'Hol
man of Indiana, of the Van Writ. investigating
committee, have gone to-St. Louis to see if they
can find out anything mob& '
The following legal decisions of Hon. John
J. Pearson, are deemed of sufficient importance
to be published for the benefit of the community
at large. It will be observed that they are dis
tinguished for the legal acumen and impartial
ity which have made Judge Pearson so eminent
and successful on the bench. The common
wealth obtained judgments in three several
cases against the sureties of a defaulting public
officer. The defendants all resided in Lycoming
county, and writs of fieri facies were directed in
each case to the sheriff of that county, who
made a return that they were stayed by the
order of C. D. Eldred, an Associate Judge of that
county, on the ground that the defendants were
entitled to a stay of execution, pursuant to the
act of the 21st of May, 1861; they having suf
ficient freeholds within the county to satisfy
debt, interest, costs, &c.
Mr. Meredith, Attorney General, moved for
an attachment against the Sheriff for faffing to
execute his writ according to law, and risking
an insufficient return thereto. Mr. Itatvn, as
attorney for the defendants, in the exOution
and in behalf of the Sheriff, opposed th't mo•
tion. ;

The suits in these cases were commenced and
judgments obtained pursuant to the 12th Sect.
of the ant cif 16th April, 1845, relative MI de
faulting public officers, and, its various supple
ments. On the judgments entered in Da*hin
county writs of fiere twigs and venditioni erpanis
can be hailed to' any county of the common
wealth, and to more than one at the same time,
if deemed necessary, and the Sheriff of the
county to which they are sent is to execute and
make return.' thereof, as is required in cases of
testaturn writs. That is, he must have the writs
entered, mike his levy, and return it by mail
to this county. In case of a sale on a writ of
venditioni expdais, the deed.must be acknowledged
as required writs of testalum. For every Pur
pose the jud ;.ent remains in this county, and
the executimp process is in the form of an origi
nal, not A i tistatasm writ. This court alone'has
jurisdiction Over the process, which extends to
every part of the State, the judgment itself
need not be, :and is not entered elsewhere. The
first section of the act of 21st of May, 1861,
gives jurisdiction to the Court in whrch the judg
ment is entered, or a judge thereof in vacation,
to order a stay of execution for one year from
the 21st of May, 1861, o judgments previously
entered, or fbr one year on those obtained sub
sequently, provided the defendant is the owner
of real estate in the county in which the same
is entered, of to which it ha' been transferred,
worth sufficient to pay and satisfy the debt over
and above other incumbrances, and the amount
exempt by law from execution. When a judg
ment is transferred to another county than that
in which it was originally obtained the execu
tion issues directly from the judgment so en
tered, and it is treated for almost every purpose
as a Judgment of that Court; of course, the
stay of execution would be there ordered. The
judge of a &Stant county has no authority over
testation writs sent to the sheriff thereof,
but if there is error or irregularity in the writ,
or judgment on which it is issued, application
must be made to the Court or a judge of the
county in which the, judgment was entered to
correct or' control the process. There is even
less plausibility in the Court or a judge in a
distant county. attempting to control original
writs issued on judgments entered in this Court,
than in cases of testation writs,: the whole pro
cess is under the control of this Court or the
judges thereof, for every purpose. The judge in
Lycoming county had no jurisdiction or power
to order a stay of execution which must be
done by those having jurisdiction• over the
judgment, and his order to the sheriff was a
mere nullity. That offieer might as well at
tempt to shelter himself under a decree of the
town constable of Williamsport as under that
of the judge bf Lycoming county. He should
have treated the order as a nullity and. paid no
attention to it, but have executed his writ until
stayed by a judge or the Court of this county.
For failing to do this, and making an illegal re
turn, he is ;fin contempt, and an attachment
must be awarded against him to be directed to
the coroner of Lycoming county, returnable to
next term. JNO. J. PEARSON,

On this decision being made, Mr. Rawn for
the defendants moved for a rule to show cause
why a stay of execution should not be ordered
by this court under the act of the 21st of May
1861, which was opposed by Mr. Meredith,
Attorney General, on the ground that the Com-,
monwealth was not embraced by the act of As
sembly. After consideration the following
opinion. was delivered by Pearson, President
Judge : •
The act of Assembly is loud and gen
eral in its expressions. It says "that upon all
judgments pow remaining unsatisfied, &c.,'.'
and the question is, does the stay apply.to judg
ments entered in favor of the State, while it has.
obtained an amount of money coming, to itself
in its sovereign capacity? The words, embrace.
these judgments, but awarding to the estab
lished rules' for interpreting statutes. should
they be applied, to. those held by the soevreign
which here is the State, of Pennsylvania ? .It is
laid down a 4 a rudimental principle of the. Err
alit& law that "the king,shall not be restrained
of a liberty Or, right he. had u before by the gen
eral words of an act of Parliament, if the king
be not named in the act."—Deavies on the
statutes 5231 Again, when the king. has any
prerogative, estate, right, title or interest, that
by the general words of an act of Parliament he
shall: not be barred of them.—ldem p 524.
There are some exceptions to these general
rules, but they are for purposes and objects not
within our present inquiry. The general. prin
ciple of immunity, from the operation of statutes
When not expressly named, or clearly embracedby implication froMth'e nature and objects of
the law, has been claimed -by the sovereign
States of this Union and by none• more so than
our own. It was held in Johnson v. Irvine, 3
S. & R 292, and Bogly v. Wallace 16 S. &R.
245, that the State is'not embraced in the stat
ute of limitations. •Such is also the doctrine of
several othar casea in our books,
_ln the. Com
monwealth v. Hutchison, 10 Barr 466, it is di
bided that the' Btate is not effected by a dis
charge of her debtor under a general bankrupt
law of the United States, and the reason is
given that :being a sovereign State, like the
king, it is not bound unless named, The
United States and the several States were not
named in the bankrupt law, and are • therefore
, not bound by it, although the expressions as to
the discharge of the bankrupt from liability are
quite as loud and general as those of the act
under consideration. -
It is said in the State vs. Garland 7 Iredel,
North Carolina rep. 48 that general statutes do
not bind the sovereign unless expressly named
in them. In the State of Maryland it is de
cided "as a general rule in the interpretation
of legislative acts they will not be construed
td embrace the sovereign power of government
unless the State is expressly named, or is in
tended by necessary implication."—The State
vs. Milburn. 9 Gill. 105. Such is the doctrine
of the courts of Illinois. 4 Gilm. 20; also of
Mississippi: 28 Miss. rep. 159. It is decided in
the United States vs. Thonias. Crabbs 207.
"General words in a statute-do not'include or
bind the United States as a sovereign power.
It is bound only' by express terms or necessary
implication."'
We thus perceive that' the 'immunity of the
sovereign .fom the binding effect of its own
laWa, when net named therein, isaBclfiaidtaatr:

at Prestonburg, Floyd county. It says they

that they are alarming the mountaineers by
circulating incredible stories as to the Inten

government to place promptly the requisite
force in the mountains around which the Union
forces may rally.
& Reception.
• A correspondent of the Thus, writing from
Jefferson City, under date of Oct. 2d, says :
The only,event of importance yesterday was
the arrival of Mrs. Fremont. She was received
at the depot by Gen. Fremont and his body
guard and a regiment of infantry, placed in
the General's four-horse carriage, and thus at
tended,,accompanied by a band of music, was,
after going through the main street, taken to
the General's headquarters in camp. This was
a pretty compliment to the fascinating and
able lady of our general—one rarely if ever
extended in this democratic country to ladies
of any degree, and hence so much the more re
"rnarkable, and the more highly to be prized.
At night there were torch-light evolutions and
much melodious jubilation by brass bands in
and around the camp—all in honor of the arri
val of Ms. Fremont, testifying at once the
Surirente respect in which that lady is held, and
the high and chivalrous gallantry of the Amer
kin soldier towards the gentler sex. It will,
to fhe honest and philosophic mind, be a sub
ject of sincere gratulation, that, although in
the midst of the enemy's country, with tens of
thousands of foes menacing us on every side,
and sounded by all the stern inflexibilities
of War, we do not forget the, respect due to the
sei-of which onr mothers and aunts were con
stituents.
Tae COVI-BZU. Donor. —The rebels have re
sorted to an ingenious way of luring our men
into their snares. It is known as the "cow-bell
dcidge," and it was very successful for a time,
especially -with newly arrived regiments' and

fast time. Approaching within thirty or forty
rods of calf outposts and concealing themselves

he finds hinpelf surrounded by a half-dozen, or
so armed rebels does he learn his mistake. In
Richmond are nearly a dozen of our soldiers who
are probably now regretting their ready, credu
