THE UNION-THE f•ONSTITU'IION-AND
THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAN.
HARRISBURG, PA
Saturday Afternoon. February 22,1862.
WASMYGDON S BIRTH-DAY.
In connection - with our distracted country,
there is at present so many conflicting feelings
of hope, sorrow, foreboding and congratulation,
that to refer to the past in quest of themes for
discussion, seems like a superfluous and an idle
task. The present is big with a mighty strug
gle for a mighty object, and yet there is no di
lemma in which the present can place toe na
tion, but for which the past affords some sacred
council or admonition ; and it would perhaps
have been more conducive to our national peace
and prosperity, had that past been more revered,
and the actions of those who shed honor and
glory on the infancy of the Republic, more
closely imitated. In a crisis such as that which
now surrounds us, with the jealousy of one
section aroused in bloody anger against the
intelligence and progress of the other, there
seems to be no more fitting words to aid in
overcoming such a strife, than the solemn and
sublime utterances of the Father of his Country.
If the advice of Washington had been heard
when the Constitution was formed, the cause
and the influences now of rebellion, would then
have not been suffered to survive for such mis
chief. He understood and comprehended the
power and the influence which the right of one
class to barter in the flesh of another, would
eventually create and stimulate. He beheld in
the incipient condition of slavery, the seed of
a great moral cont st, and therefore most ear
nestly opposed, while he lived, its acknowledg
ment as a political element, and before he died
set the seal of hie dis,tpproval on the institu
tion by liberating his slaves, and recording
his sentiments against slavery. The condi
tion of the nation justifies such allusions
in this connection, though we desire more
partloulatly to refer to the fact that the
very sentiment which Washington bequeathed
4 " 1 "" "1 10 arveettee. is now repudiated by a por
tion of the people on
while the
other portiou still cline to and defena
men only would defend their lives. The Union
of the American States, was the greet object for
which Warthington struggled. While he lived
his solicitude and his prayers wereall devoted to
that Union. He esteemed it as of far more
value than any other feature of the govern
ment, because without Union, there could be
no perfect government. The mere interests of
localities were of small importance compared
to the perpetuitg,of that Union. That bad a
lasting significance in the estimation of Wash
ington, which exceeded all other considera
tions, and while he lived, monopolized his
hopes and his devotions.
We forbear the indulgence of any inappro
priate reflections on the occasion of this the
Birth-day of Washinton. We leave our readers
to the perusal of his immortal Farewell Address,
as the most appropriate offering we can present.
And we leave them, too, to the prayers which
the occasion itself must suggest, and which
should be in the hearts and on the lips of every
people, whether in tumult or confusion, war or
peace.
Winne. Vraortue was a loyal state, her citi
zens expressed great regard for Winfield Scott.
He was claimed as the next in esteem, for valor,
xtobleneee and patriotism, to the immortal
Washington, and in one of these fits of admira
tion, the authorities of the Old - Dominion or
dered a life size equestrian portrait to bepainted
of Old Ohepultepec, to adorn the capitol of that
State. A celebrated Kentucky artist wasselected
for this important 'work, and the picture has
been flatbed to the satisfaction of all, save the
authorities of Virginia. They refuse to take the
portrait, because Gen. Scott has been false to
Virginia. False to Virginia! in refusing to co
operate with her people in a mad effort to sub.
vest the authority of the federal government!
False to Virginia! in raising his arm to stay
the mad progress of rebellion! False to
gluiest i 6 being loyal to the Union! This act
crowns the treachery of Virginia with a species
of meanness that must forever blacken its repo
tenon. The nation should at once become the
purchasers of this picture, and place it in the
proudest pannel in the Rotunda of the Capitol.
Wa 011111TID yesterday to make an appeal,
but hasten to do so now, to the hotel keepers
and restaurants of the city. Those who have
not closed their bars during the day, we !rust
will do so, the moment they read this para
graph. Let the natal day of Washington be
observed with temperance as well as patriotism,
and let it be the boasts of the hotel keepers
and restaurants of the state capital, that they
devoted at least a portion of the 22nd of Feb
ruary to .a respite from their business. Those
who do en, will lose nothing by the compliance.
Inoteased public confidence and respect will
rather be extended to all such.
Ii rue MXLITAItY Thisorts favor, in the least,

best to Suppress their portraits.

IT HAS BEEN TESTED.
Slavery, for a time, existed in all the states
of the Union. It was imported with the emi
gration of the early fathers, not, however, as
an object of barter and sale, or an institution
of political control and influence. In the early
years of the Republic, it was scarcely consid
ered an evil, because it had not then assumed
the fearful magnitude and domineering spirit
which it has since developed. When these
characteristics began to be displayed, the
people of the northern states also began to rid
themselves of the nuisance by abolishing the
evil. The eastern states, with New York and
Pennsylvania, struck the manacles from their
slaves, expunged the odious privilege to buy
and sell human flesh from their statute books,
so that these commonwealths gradually and
grandly pursuing their glorious destiny and
free development, at length almost forgot in
their own wonderful growth and wealth, that
slavery was in existence, that it had an influ
ence, and least of all that it was controlling
the government. But from this dream of po
litical, social and business security, they were
suddenly awakened in 1832-33, when the south
ern states, in the name of slavery, arrogantly
claimed the right and boasted the power to nul
Iffy the solemnly enacted laws of the United
Stator. That was the first demonstration of
slavery aeainst freedom. The plot was care
fully arranged in all its details, and failed only
because the leaders bad mistaken their capacity
for rebellion. They did not lack design, deter
mination or will—but they lacked the force of
numbers, and therefore they submitted with an
ill grace to the authority of the government.
But from 1833 to 1861, these men, in the name
and for the promulgation and strengthening of
slavery, have been busily at work, organizing
their hosts—disciplining their numbers—ar
ranging their plans and fixing their points of
attack. No campaign was ever more maturely
considered or minutely arranged than has been
the rebellion of the elaveholders in this partio
ular —and, therefore, slavery has been tested,
it has been tried, and now, in the hearing of
the world, it announces itself the enemy of
freedom, by founding a government essentially
on its own merits.
Since slavery has thus been tested, and since
it has avowed its antagonism to a free govern
ment,
is not the question pertinent, as to the
policy of testing the safety of freedom by eman
cipation. Why not uproot slavery wherever It
is thus arrayed against the government, and
declare the territory free? The experiment
cannot result in worse danger to the free states
or to the Union, than slavery. has proven itselt
to be at all times and under all circumstances.
We do not ask for immediate. and general
emancipation. We do not demand that slavery
shall be abolished in all the states ; nor do we
hold to the doctrine that general emancipation
would result in the physical or moral improve
ment of the race. Such claims constitute the
fanaticism which always injures and impedes a
good cause. What we have a right to ask and
anticipate is, that wherever the emancipation
of slavery will assist in crushing .the rebellion,
there the experiment of improving the slaves
be tested.
In this we would be possibly achieving
glorious results; first, by removing the actual
cause ot, and the rebellion itself ; and second,
by showing to the world that it is the policy of
the government to reform an evil at which hu
manity has shuddered in all climes and in all
ages. If we can withstand the shocks and the
changes of rebellion, we can also run the risk
of any great change which such limited emanci
pation might occasion. It could not environ
the nation with more embarrassment than
slavery has created while it was recognized and
protected ; nor could emancipation to a greater
degree effect free labor, In the north or south,
than slavery does now. Admit these facts, and
the experiment of emancipation, wherever
emancipation will assist in arresting rebellion,
looses all that horrible enormity of danger and
injustice in which the dough face delights to in
vest the subject. Admit that emancipation will
guard the nation against future rebellion, and
we still have another argument in its favor, in
the fact that when slavery is once attacked in
this practical manner, its political franchises
will soon be swept away, to end foreverthe con
tention of those who sustain it for Its political
force, and thus of course leave it without ad
vocates and without support.
When we come to cast around for new guards
and broader lines to preserve the integrity and
maittain the power of the national government,
something of this kind must be done with
slavery. If it is not determined now to place
a barrier in its path, it will again attempt ithe
forcible usurpation, of the government. If It
is disfranchlied, and its traitor upholders
taught a lesson by the practical operation of
emancipation, self-interest, hereafter, will make
them loyal. There is economy as wellaspolicy
in the experiment, which none but the politi
cally blhad or doggedly stubborn will fail to
discover.
THE INAUGURATION OF JEFF DAVIS.
To-day has been fixed upon by traitors and
rebels for the inauguration of the chief of the
incendiary and assassian horde. Since Mrs.
Davis indulged the boasting that she would
receive company in the White-house at Wash
ington,the times have changed, and the circum
stances under which she indulged her boruits
have been also materially altered. When she
thus made her arrogant boast, it was the
fixed opinion of the traitors of the south,
that the capture of Washington city would
be the smallest of the achievement of the
rebellion, while to conquer the entire country
they would require only its occupancy by the
chivalry, at once to induce the coward north to
yield. One year ago, when Davis was first in
augurated, he had a better prospect before him
than he now contemplates. He knew then
'what the people of the loyal States did not,
that he bad numerous confederates, sworn to
his purposes, still in the army and navy of the
United States; that be had accessories and
friends in every bureau at Washington, true to
his cause, though false and foresworn to that of
the government; that the administration of
Mr. Lincoln would be beset and betrayed hi the
very outset by treason, where it had every
reason to low, for faith and. loyalty; he reek
wed, and there is no doubt he had Inmost for
reckoning, on aid and co-operation, too, in
more than one of the states of the North.
The news of the past week must have a sad
dening and a crashing effect upon the feelings
of the leading trairoA. They most see that
these events are decisive, and that to their ar
mies, now broken and disheartened by success
ive discomfiturea, nothing remains unless it is
desultory struggles here and there, in a cause
most clearly hopeless. Will that inauguration
take place at Richmond to-day ?If it does, it
will be rather an occasion of funeral solemnity,
and for the pageantry of mourning and burial,
than a great public holiday and festival.—
What words of cheer or encouragement can
even that audacious and unscrupulous chief
pronounce, by way of inaugural adddress, to
such a crowd as can be gathered in capitol
square at Richmond?
The downfall of the rebellion is at hand, and
it will probably be quite as sudden as its formi
dable uprising. Davie may go through the
ceremony of a new inauguration, brit it is safe
to predict he will not long remain at Rich
mond, or wield the executive power anywhere
for three months longer, unless as a refugee,
like Claib. Jackson, issuing proclamations to a
people among whom he dare not show his face.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTH-DAY.
The 130th Anniversary of the Occasion
HOW IT WAS CELEBRATED
THE TWENTY-SECOND AT WASHINGTON
WAILBIEGTON, Feb. 22.
All the federal and corporation offices are
closed, as well na most of the ble3inesw houses.
There was a continuous firing of salutes this
morning at all the camps, in honor of the day.
The Hall of the House of Representatives be
ing the great scene of attraction, as early as
o'clock the galleries, set apar t the pub
lic, were densely crowded, while • the doors
leading thereto were blocked with standing oo
cupants. The portions of the galleries reserved
for the families of the Diplomatic Corps and
those of other invited spectators and of mem
bers of Congress, were gradually filled accord
ing to their convenience. Tickets had been is
sued to them, and in order to avoid confusion,
there was many polite door-keepers and ushers
to vary out this part of the programme, and
additional chairs had been p•ovided on
ihe floor of the bail to seat about 600 persons.
Immediately over the Speaker's chair was a
large painting of Washington, surrounded
by a gilt eagle, and over this a gulden
starred American flag, while from each of
the upper corners of the painting hung ban
ners of a smaller pattern. Crowds continued
to penetrate the Capitol, and many persons
were unable to obtain admission. The LAterval
between eleven and one o'clock was relieved by
scenes in the galleries. Some of the door occu
pants would loudly and imploringly call to others
who were crowding behind not to precipitate
them on the heads of those comfortably and
enviously seated below them. Occasionally a
boy would be lifted over the heads of the spec
tators to a seat in front, amid the laughter of
tab - s Pr. -Tin anbiecte usurped .the
various niches de si gn e d atone Tort tawarsaa
statuary. Members of the House ocoasionally
entered the hall and took meta. Impatiens
cries continued to be uttered in the galleries
for the crowd at the door to fall back, and calls
for the police frequently resconded, but met .
with no response.

PREPARATIONS TO RUN THE BLOCKADE.
RUMORED ATTACK ON NORFOLK.
Foamless lifontoz, Feb. 21
Three flags of truce were sent out to-diy. It
is believed in Norfolk that the city of Savan
nah has been abandoned by its inhabitants and
occupied by our forces. The iof..rmation is
thought to be reliable, although no particulars
are ascertained.
Notwithstanding the admissions of the south.
em papers that the steamer Merrimac is a fail
ure, the latest information received is, that
some two hundred men are at work on her,
and that considerable quantities of shot and
shell are going aboard. The intention of run
ning the blockade has not been given up, and
it was thought she would make her appear
ance here within a week. Every preparation
has been made, and standing orders has been
given for her reception.
Another French gunboat arrived last night,
and there are now four vessels of that nation
ality in the Roads.
The crew of the Fingal, whichrun the block
ade off Savannah, mentioned in yesterday's

ried over again this morning, and sent to Nor
folk.
The schooner Exertion, with ammunition,
sailed to Hatteras yesterday.

Twenty-first Indiana regiment, which arrived
here yeeterdy, were conveyed to Newport News
to-day. Their destination is unknown, bat
rumor speaks of an attack by General M' Lane,
who has superseded General Magruder, and of
an attack upon Norfolk. Both suppositions
aro probably incorrect.
More troops are expected here shortly. Large
quantities of arms are arriving.

• At 12 o'clock, the SPZAKIR called the House

At the request of the Speaker, the members
proceeded to ,oecopy seats on the left of the
Sall, leaving the three front circles for the in
vited•guests.
Mr. (Mo ) made an ineffectual sugges
tion titat the ladies in the lobbies be admitted
to aoccaphel spaces on the floor.
The &wore requested those in the galleriet
to - i t tai reseeve order, saying -that if decorum be
it would beam* :his disagreeable

Chirrrstross, (Ky.) said that the joint
resolution, relative to the celebration , did not
contemplate the, presentation of flags , and he
therefore moved this be committed as a part of
the, ceremonies.
Lovuox, ,) supposed from the gene
ral tenor , of. M r. Crittenden's remarks hereto
4ore, that he would not oppose what any mili
mry man desired, and this Sig presentation had
been arranged by the War Department.
Datves,,(idass.,) inquired, how could the
Sags be presented if Congress will not take
them. He did , not propose to magnify the rebel
Sage in this -way, and hoped that they would
respectfully decline to receive them.
Mr. Cartertatta., (Pa) add that these were
trophies won by our officers and brave soldkus
in hotly contested battles ; he would not mtig
'iffy the flogs, but would magnify the deeds of
our armies, and trusted that these badge* di
Sags would be, received with respect. --
.BO6IXII getnnurct (N. Y.) remarked that
these flags were - not trophies, to be ; treated

accept the presentation of these flags, nothing
more than tokens coming simply from rebels of
no national standing. He would go as fax as any
other gentleman in this House or out in his
respect and admiration for those who have left
their homes to sustain on distant battle fields
the existence of this government, but he wished
on this occasion to act in a manner consistent
with self respect and official propriety.
Mr. CAISPIILLL presuming that his previous
remarks had been misunderstood explained that
he would receive these flags and tokens in re
spect to the bravery of our troops.
Mr. LOPSZOY caused to be read the law of
1814 and 1818, to the effect that the Secretaries
of the War and Navy be directed to cause to be
collected and transmitted to them all flags,
banners and colon which may have been or
shall be taken hereafter by the army and navy
from the enemy, and thatall of them, together
with those in the possession of those Depart
ments shall, with all consistent despatch, be
.delivered to the President, for the purpose of
being displayed in such public places as may be
deemed proper.
Mr. Lovann add this was the law, that by
receiving these flags we would recognize a
rebel government, was the most absurd idea
ever originated in the brain of man. Tie was
willing to receive every rebel flag, their:non
the better, in respect to the brave men who
captured them.
Mr. &means, (N. H.) expressed himself in
favor of carrying out the arrangement for the
presentation of flags.
Mr. Porrea, (Wis.) in apparent seriousness,
rose to a question of order. It was that the
gentleman was speaking with his back to the
chair. [Laughter.]
Mr. EDWARDS smilingly said. I did not wish
to turn my back to the ladies. [Laughter.]
He would receive the flags in honor of our gal
lant soldiers.
