class of men who endorse the. ,principles 'they

It has become a theme nearest the heart of
eighteen millions of people—a hope on which
hangs the nationality and political existence
of the only free goveminent on the face of the
earth—and, therefore, rising above all other sub
jects, abolitionism and slavery are henceforth to
be joined in a contest which will never cease
until one or the other is eating uished,or the fight
must wage until the existence of the universe
itself, is brought to a close by its predicted con
flagration. It is not the abolitionism, however,
which is constantly berated by the organs and
the party to which we have alluded In a former
paragraph—it isnot the abolitionism, that would
let loose millions of irresponsible and ignorant
human beings, whose long years of bondage
have added fearful lusts and passions to the
natural degeneracy of their race, and whose op-
Fusion has given repugnance to the clifferen.
in their color and condition. It wou/erb,e a bias-
Mg to the southern planters V abolitionism could be es
tablished in a form which would relieve them of their
broken down and superannuated slaves. This is the
abolitionism which most of the southern states
want—the freedom that they approve, when it
relieves a plantation of its useless property in
slaves—but this is not the manner in which the
people of the north intend to meddle with ga
my. The free people of the 'Union believe that
the southern soil belongs equally to the south
ern slave as it does to the slave master, and
that soil, if there is truth in the decrees of
Providence, Will-She' Made to' support the slave
population in a manner and to an extent greater
than was ever dreamed of by the most sanguine
abolitioniste, either' of the Garrison school
or the Lucretia Mott tea-table talkers.—
The abolitionism which freemen desire—the
meddling which the people of the Union intend
to interpose between slavery and free institu
tions, is ..the disfranchisement of the first—its
equalization with all other property—its expul
don, as a political influence, from all depart
ments of the government, and its total rejec
tion, as an element of control in society and
religion. That it has been such, the history of
this nation amply testifies. That slavery has
created an ignorant and imperious aristocracy
in a republican form of government—that it
has degraded labor and at last culminated in a
rebellion to chstroy the government,' have been
the means of arousing the people to the aboli
tionism we have described. It is an abolition
ism whit& doe* not propose to meddle with the
numerical strength of slavery or the local rights
of the slave-holder. God and civilization will
deal with both these in a proper way and at the
proper time. the "meddling" which now an
noys the *dough -faces at the north, and so
incenses live traitors of the south, is that which
aims at the disfranchisement of the institution
of slavery, and whichtakes it at theproperty es
timate of its advocates. When this is accom
plished, it wale deprived of its real power for
mischief ; tunLitmill leave the country, too, in
a condition of peace and prosperity for all time
and all generations. • '

THE CREDIT OF THE COUNTRY.
It is becoming a subject of vast importance,
and one on which our perpetuity depends
equally with our dependence on the armies in
the field, that the credit of the nation is not
allowed to depreciate a single farthing. The
duty of maintaining this credit belongs to the
home guard. This is no more than fair, that
those who remain at home, quietly and com
fortably pursuing their various, vocations,should
pay into the treasury, by means of direct taxa
tion, a just proportion of the money required to
support those who are in the field risking 'life
and limb to crush the slave-holder's rebellion.
The war cannot, be carried on without men and
money. The men are already in the field. They
are armed and ready for the fight. They have
sacrificedhomes,family and business. More than
this cannot be asked of those bravo men who
are in camp, except it is their lives, which they
are also ready to bestow in the service of the
country. This part of the businese to crush re
bellion has all been of a practical character.—
The men raised; are not the creation in figures
of some ima,4lnative or theorizing commander,
but they are real flesh and blood, animated by
a patriotic zerd. which knows,no bounds in their
service to their country. The matey, therefore,

bestowed, may assist in bringing this fearful
struggle to a close. If we delay, this , taxation,
we not only impair the, public credit, but we

for cheap transportation, quantity, quality,
variety did economy of raw material with a
corresponding feature of labor and living. In
these respects, no other state in the Union af
fords such rare attractions as the state of Penn
sylvania, and we confidently believe that when
the territory of thestate is fairly examined both
in ita.natural and artificial features adapted. for
this purpose, the only difficulty will be in the
selection of a site from among , the many advan
tages and facilities possessed by Pennsylvania.
So far as our own personal opinion is con
cerned, and so far also as the opinion of
those who have a practical knowledge of the
business in this connection has any weight, we
are convinced that Dauphn county presents
euperior advantages over any other locality in the
- state. The two most important requisites are
lion and coal. Certainly no other point
abounds so inexhaustibly in these productions,
and when we add the facilities of transit, the
locality is unrivalled in the Union. It is the
locality, not only for the National Armory, but
it is also the point at which should be located
the National Foundry. The two should either
be located in the same vicinity, or within such
a distance as to make communication and tran
sit between the Armory and Foundry as short
as possible.
We alluded to this subject in a former num
ber of the Timmer]; and do so again in the
hope that some public action will be taken on
the subject by the citizens cg Harrisburg. It
concerns them , to act in the premises before
Congress locates these works, because all that
is necessary to secure them for this locality is
a proper statement of our advantages in natural
resources and artificial facilities. ,

"A signal instance of rebel inhumanity re
cently oocurred in Cadiz, the county seat of
Trigg Major Matthew Moyes, an aged citizen
of irreproachable and exalted character, and
one of the ablest juntas in the State, was lately
compelled to fly from his home, in consequence
of the threats of Henry burnett's ruffians, to
protection from the Halm troops at Smithfield.
The scoundrels, chagrined at the unexpected
flight of the old patriot, instantly dispatched a
messenger, who overtook him within a few
miles of Smithfield, and assured him that the
"secessionists had no intention of molesting him,
and that they would give him the most solemn
pledge of protection. Major Moyes paid no at
tention to these fair speeches, and in a short time
another messenger arrived, who warned him
not to return, as the first messenger had been
sent by some bitter enemies, who would make
quick work of him should he fall into their
hands. He pursued his journey to Smithfield.
He is a man of large property, and has been
guilty , of loaning large sums of money to seceS

lynching the creditor."
The Departure of Mason and Slidell
[From the Boston Traveler.]
The departure of Mason and Slidell from Fort
Warren yesterday was conducted as quietly as
possible. The garrison, with the exception of
the guards of duty, were kept from the side of
the fort where the prisoners' quarters are, and
there were but few persons upon the wharf
when they embarked. The other political pri
soners, as they bade them good bye, congratu
lated them on their release. Mr. - Mason went
off in good humor. Indeed, he has recently
been in good spirts, and has borne his impris
onment with the air of a philosopher.
Mr. Slidell was somewhat sulky, and not at
all pleased at going in such an unostentatious
manner, and in such a vessel. He evidently
expected that a steamer would come here esp.
cially for them. Part of his ill-nature may be
owing to his health, which has not been good
for some weeks, keeping him pretty close to his
room, although he has not called for medical
aid.
.The tug Starlight, with the four rebels, reach
ed Provincetovin a little before five and
immediately. proceeded to the English sloop -of
war Rinaldo, and transferred her passengers.
Corn. Hudson, who was in charge of the ar
rangements, went with them on board the
English war vessel, and remained on board for
about fifteen minutes, when he returned to the
tug.
At about six P. M., the Rinaldo got under
way and proceeded on her voyage In about
two hours afterwards a violent gale commenced,
end blew all night at Provincetown, with al
most the violence of a hurricane, but, as the
wind was off shore, probably the safety of the
vessel was not endangered. During the stay
of the Rinaldo at Provincetown no communica
tion was allowed with the shore, nor was any
boat allowed to come alongside.
M. WEND writes from Paris to the .Albany
Evening Journal: " After breakfasting with
'Archbishop Hughes, I went with Mr. Sanford,
who came up from Belgium in t le night to the
residence of the Consul, Mr. Bigelow, for con
sultation. What struck us all, in comparing
notes, with surprise, was the fact that nobody
at home seems to regard the new trouble with
England as 'serious ; or else, if you do under
stand its bearingsin regard fo war with England,
you are willing to encounter it 1 lam willing
to say that I shrink from the thought of war,
just now, with any EuroPeau power, and etipw
orally with one so fully prepared for, war as
England."

Newport News, where the rebel Steamer North
ampton was met with Union prisoners from
Richmond. They stepped on board under the

from each boat as they approached and the band
of the 4th artillery played "sweet home" which
added to the enthusiasm.
As the boat passed Newport News the crews,
of
the U. B. steam frigates Cumberland and

at tamp Butler crowded the beach and the
wharves and sent over the water their shouts
of welcome.
