We dalithe attention of our yearly club subscribers to the

In view of the existing state of affairs, there will be

that we shall have a. lively time at the Stine Capital.—
At the former we shall have a reliable correspondent,

0. BARRETT & 00., Harrisburg, Pa
TEE Republican papers, by way of pallia
tiug the obnoxious “Personal Liberty” laws
standing upon the statute books of several
States, as well as to pacify the South, claim
that they are quite inoperative from their very
stringency ; and the: not. cue fugitive in a. year
is allowed to escape umier them. If they are
really of no practical consequence, why not
repeal them at once, when such action will
lend to effect such desirable results? It. is cer
tainly the part of wisdom, to say noxlxiug of
justice and duty.
Fixing the I‘espougigifigwyiaere it Be
gem-mug to me h‘éfifiihcuu newspapers, it
‘is not the election of ercom by a sectional
party, animated by hostility to the South,
which has created all the difliculty in the coun
try, and caused the “panic;” but the Demo
cratic press is the real author of the disturb
ances. It seems that the Democratic press has
been guilty of exciting the South by misrepre
senting the true position of the Republican
party; which is a very conservative, law—abi—
ding party, not in the least tincturcd with
Abolition heresies, if we can place the slightest
confidence in the statements of its organs.—
They are willing now to forget, and even to
deny, that they ever entertained or expressed
sentiments hostile to the South, and are loud in
professions of moderation and conservatism.—
But the attempt to hold the Democratic press
accountable for the disasters and perils that
have come upon the country, as the immediate
consequence of Republican teachings, is sim~
ply ridiculous. Had the people heeded the
warnings of the Democratic press, there would
now be no danger of disunion, no prostration
of business, no bank suspensions, no stoppage
of manufactures, and no laborers thrown out
of employment at the commencement of winter.
Instead of producing these evils, the Democrats
did all in their power to avert them. They
warned the people against them, and voted to
prevent them. But the Republicans laughed
at the warnings of coming danger, and agreed
to take all the responsibility proceeding from
Lincoln’s election. But now that the day of
real trouble has arrived, they wish to shuflie
of the nepotisibility, and to transfer it to
Democrats, who had no hand in bringing about
the election of Lincoln. This dodge won’t
win. After involving the country in trouble,
the Republicans can’t skulk out of the respon
sibility in this way. They must be made to
stand #l3 and face consequences of their own
Pmmlcmg—eonsequcnces which they were
warned would inevitably follow the election of
Lincoln. They transgressed, not ignorantly,
but in the face of day.
The Republicans themselves furnished all
the material used against them by Democrats
during the campaign, and their leading man
were the authors of sentiments which, it is now
alleged, misrepresented the purposes and posi~
tion of the Republican party, and needlessly
inflamed the South. It was not the fault of
Democrats that Helper wrote 11 book to pro
mote insurrections at the South, and that a
large number of prominent Republicans en
dorsed it as inonlcating sound doctrine. It
was not the fault of Democrats that BLAKE, of
Ohio, ofl'ered a resolution at the last session of
Congress to grant freedom of every human be
ing, and that sixty Republican Congressmen
supported it. It was not the fault of Demo
crats that CHARLIE Somme was elected to the
Senate, where he delivered a. phillipic on the
barbarism of slavery, and declared it to be the
purposeiof the Republican party m purshe the
institution until it would die‘ of rage like a. ‘
poisoned rat'in its hole. Democrats did not
persuade Mr. SEWABD to inaugurate the irre
ptessible conflict, and Mr. [groom to 95911,
the same doctrine. Democrats did not elect;
Axmmw, Governor of Massachusetts, after he
declared in a public speech that John Brown
was right. Democrats have not contributed to
’ produce the bitter attacks upon the South
which have filled the Republican newspapers
for the past six years. Democrats did not. pass
the Personal Liberty nets of many of the
Northern Republican States, which are in
tended to nullify the Fugitive Slave law, and
Prevent the execution of u ploin provision of
the Constitution. For not one of these irritu
ting and aggressive acts is the Democratic
party responsible. Democrats have always
protested against them, and struggled against
them, and denounced them; and for doing so
they are now held 'up as the authors of the
present disturbances. No—the Republicans
know better than this. They know in their
hearts that they have produced all the talk of
secession, and all the Commercial and business
diflieulties growing out of the agitation against
slavery; and, having plunged the country into
this turmoil, they must extricate it by taking
the buck track, or stand accountable before
the world, and to posterity, for all the disas- 1
ters that may follow. '
FROM THE SOUTH.
correspondence of the Patriot and Union.
Sum-Axiom 0. IL, 8. 0., November 20, 1860
We have nothing but accession here. Old and
young, black and white, talk of nothing else.—
Ferewa’rned as to what the South would do in case
the North succeeded in electing its sectional Black
Republican President, the North can blame no one
now because the Union is dissolved. We gave
timely notice here 5 but it had no cfi'ect—and what
right has a Northern, or any State, to say one word
if South Carolina chooses to withdraw from the
United States ? As an equal this State went into
the Confederation to stay so long as it fulfilled the
purposes for which it was created; find so long as
it did so it was a paradise upon earth; but. the
serpent, Aholitionism, crept in to destroy in peace
and happiness. South Carolina, like Adam and
Eve, as she loves this Union, looks back and sheds
a tear—“going she knows not whither." The “ir
repressible conflict.” is upon us. There is no mis
take about it,this government is no longer what it
ram
0n the 6th of' next month the people of this
State will be called upon to vote whether they are
willing to secede from this Union or not. The vo
tors here are unanimous for secession. It they be
that _Lincoln will attempt to whip us in ; but what.
right has he to intefere with a sovereign Stete for
doing what everybody admits she has a. right to do?
01‘ course, he may overpower us, but he will find a.
Spartan resistance to contend with ; and when we
are conquered, he will have to keep a standing
army to hold us in subjection—and it will take but
one summer to kill it out. This is all on the sup.
position-that South Carolina goes out alone; but
Mississippi, Florida and Alabama. (saying nothing
of the rest) are certain to follow; and if he and
his abolition cohorts can come and conquer the
South—united in resistance—he is welcome to free
our Degrees. But enough of polities. WV. 0.

xjorities for Presi
'he recent election:
ACTION or I’rr'rsnnnc COUNCILS AFFECTING
Barnnonn Boson—The City Councils of Pitts
burg, in order to protect the home creditors of
the corporation, in view of the numerous suits
pending against the city for interest onra-ilroad
bonds, have passed a resolution directing the
mayor to execute and deliver to Thomas Bake
well, John Russell and B. Murray, a. mortgage
upon any or all of- the real estate belonging to
the city of Pittsburg, for a sum not exceeding
$1,500,000, in trust for thebcnefit of the legal
holders of municipal obligations or certificates
heretofore issued for purposes of city loan,
water loan, or work. The result of this mort
gage, (which the mayor has executed” will be
to leave the payment of railroad obligations to
revenue derivable only from direct taxation,
The municipal bonds are older than the rail
road bonds, and the efi'ect of the action of ‘
councils, if it have any legal efl'ect at all. is to
make the holders of the municipal bonds pre
ferred creditors over the holders of railroad
bonds. In the U. 5. Circuit Court, ntPittsburg,
on Tuesday, two verdicts—one for $2,436.84,
and the Other for sl,l6B.B2—were rendered
against the city, in suits brought to recover
interest on railroad bonds. The same day nine
verdicts, amounting, in the aggregate, to $B, 700,
were entered against the county of Lawrence,
Pa., in suits brought to recover upon coupons
from bonds issued to the Northwestern railroad
company.
A WILD Senna AT A “WAKE.”—-At an early
hour this morning, as one of the officers of the
eighth precinct was patrolling his beat on Fifth
‘ avenue, his attention was attracted by cries of
“murder,” &c., proceeding from a. shanty in the
vicinity. On going into the house whence the
cries proceeded, the officer _found a scene of
the wildest description. About iwentypersons,
men and women, were engaged in a fight, in
which chairs, stools, 620., were used promiscu
ously. 0n the floor, in the midst of the com
batants, lay the body of a. dead woman, looking
hideous in the torn and bedraggled drapery of
death, by which her form was covered. The
ofiicer arrested the most violent of the doubt:-
tants, a. woman named Bridget Cannon, and
took her to the station-house. The old woman
had died yesterday, and her friends were hold—
ing a “wake ;” and as is customary on such
occasions, splentiful supply of whiskey had ‘
been served round, which led to the effect above
described. Bridget was brought before Justice
Cornwell this morning, and sent to jail for ten
days—N. Y. Post, of H’cdneoday.
OIL 0F LIVE Funnies—A little boy named
F. M. Audet was before Recordor Adams, in
New Orleans, recently, under circumstances at
least ludicrous. He was discovered in Somparu
Market boiling up a lot of puppies. He said
he w’as told by a woman to boil the puppies in
sweet oil. to make a. medicine for the cure of
rhwmatism, the explanation of which is that
he mistook the word poppies, which she ordered
him to procure. He mistook the word with a
vengeance, for he actually got a lot of puppial
from one to two weeks old, and put them into
the pot alive.

EXC'I TIN 0 TIMES IN CALIFORNIA
___....___
The New York Times’ correspondent, writes
from Sun Francisco, November 34]: -.
“ On Sunday, as the two largest congrega
tions in town were issuing from their respective
' churches on opposite corners of Dupo'ut and
l Californiustrects—the Rev. Mr. Lucy’s Con gre
gational, and St. Mary’s Cathedral—u man
leveled a double-barreled gun and blazed away
twice just over the heads of the thickest crowd.
Nobody was hurt, though a thousand or two
people were panic—stricken. On being arrested,
the sportsman said he had received a commis~
sion to clean out the Catholics. Hehud intended
to commence operations at. San Jose, where he
was when his divine commission arrived_ But
on reflection, he concluded he would be Im
worthy his high trust if he wasted his powder
on _such small game. So he come‘up to San
Francisco to begin. ‘
His pockets were full of ammunition and
bore out the truth of his statement, that if he
had not been impertinently interfered with, he
would have made it. a. memorable day. When,
twenty-four hours afterwards, he was examined
as to his sanity, he begged the Judge, if he had
done anything' against the laws, to hang him,
but in mercy to spare him from the Stockton
Asylum. While this panic was possessing ‘
those outside the church, the 'Superintendenl; 1
of Mr. Laey’s Sabbath School was telling the
little folks that Anne Johnson, one of their
mates, was standing by the stove reading her
library book, when the maniac struck'her down
and killed her.
We got over Monday and Tuesday without a.
sensation. But Wednesday was, for us. as
one of the newspapers truly styled it, a noisy,
bloody, riotous night. To the blood first:
Michael lielgnn, until six months ago a New
York sermon, entered a coffee saloon near the
water-side, walked up to a table where his wife
sat alone, and exclaimed “You know you are
guilty.” Then putting his arm lovingly about
her neck, drew back her head, and with ajack
knife cut her throat from ear to ear. The saloon
keeper had seen him enter, heard his exclama
tion, and ran for his pistol. When he returned,
the woman lay back dead in her chair. The
murderer walked off and up to the station house.
He knocked at the prison door and demanded
admittance. He said he had murdered his wife
and wanted them to arrest him. He told his
story, which there has been no one yet to con
tradict. He was 42 years old—an Irishman.—
His wife was 80. He married her—his second
wife—in New .York, eight years ago, and they
had two children, who are now in California,
living with one of her relatives. His wife was
untrue to him, b'ut hoping to love her. he
brought her to this country, where every day
she grew worse. At last she left him and went
upon the street. He had borne it till he could
bear it no longer. When the Coroner held his
inquest on the remains of what must have been
but. lately a handsome woman, the murderer
was called up for identification. It was a. dingy,
dismal room, in which only the jury and half
a. dozen curious men beside had gathered to
learn the partieuiers of the afiair. The mur
derer had nothing to say, only that. his name
was Heigan, not Horrigeu, as the newspapers
spelled it. Would they be pleased to spell it ,
right '3 ‘
The same night two proprietors of n. board
ing house quarreled—Potrick Donelly and
Daniel Keeley, keepers of the Union house. on
First street. Keeley was an old man and feeble;
Donelly athletic and young. From high words
they came to o scuflie, which ended When Don—
elly had fatally stabbed his old partner in seve
ral places. Donelly run, but the police had i
him locked up an hour afterwards. Keeley is '1
yet alive, but is expected to die soon. I
Two other stabbing affrnys have occurred I
since, but the men were Mexicans. and 3 Wm i
men the trouble in each case. This sort of
thing is rather new in San Francisco; crimes
against the person have, oflate, been almost as
rare as crimes against property.

say, but are not Americans. Powder has been

“GENERAL NEWS.
I
A 1 31” IMPROBABLE Swain—lt is said that
the {mperor of the French has at last given
his suction to the project invented by M. Fa.-
"13,3. Parisian engineer, for making a. railway
from Calais to Dover. This gigantic project
comirises a brick-built tunnel under the Chun
nel,'trom France to England, and the length of
the wrk will be nineteen English miles. The
ingc'iious engineer, referring to the repeated
intriincies of waterin making the Thames Tun
nel, jtntes that nothing of the kind can be up
prehmded in attempting a. similar work under
the Gimme], as far the greater part of the dis
tancu the ground is entirely composed of hard
rock, Whereas the soil under the Thomas is of
blue clay, of noaconsistence. The company of
speculators who have taken this matter up in
the French capital are at present engaged in
estinating, as accurately as can be Well done,
the utmost cost of the execution of the tunnel;
and, in order to avoid all disappointment of the
shareholders who may think fit to take part in
the enterprise, the works are to be extended at
a. fixed. price, by contractors offering _every
gunmutce of responsibility.
' RNAGES 0F TnnDu’Tnsnm AT THE WEST.—
We fnd in many of our Ohio and Indiana ex
changes accounts of the ravages of diptherin,
or putrid sore throat. Adults and children fall
victims to it. The Holmes County (Ohio)
Famer says it is raging to a fearful extent in
the eastern townships of that county. A great
-many persons have died from it. The Saint
Clair-sville (Ohio) Gazette says that within ten
days Mr. Wm. Harper, of Peas township, has
lost five children with diptheria, the eldest a
datfghter of 17 years. The balance of his fam
ily. three children, are sick with the some dis
ease. The Auglaize Democrat says the dipthe
rie still continues its terrible attack upon the
citizens of Wapakonote and vicinity. During
the summer the victims were mostly children,
but grown persons are now beginning to fall
victims to its dreadful ravages. In Northern
Indiana the malady has been very fetal.
CALEB CUSHING on THE STATE OF THE COUN
TRY.—-Genernl Cashing, at the request of many
citizens, is to address the people of Newbnry
port, Mass, and its vicinity, on Saturday and
Monday evenings, upon the state of the Union.
He has addressed a letter to the Hon. Albert
Currier, announcing ' this intention. In this
letter he speaks of the imminent peril of adie
solution of the American Union, to avert which,
so far as Massachusetts is concerned, the first
thing necessary, in his opinion, is the immedi
ate repeal of the Personal Liberty Law, and
having done this, “we shall then have the
right, happen what may, to stand erect, to hold
up our head in the Union, to look our sister
States in the face, and if need be to address
fraternal exhortntion to the State of South
Carolina.”
THE PEACE Movnnnnr IN Msxmo.—We un
derstood, says the New Orleans Picayune, that
the constitutional government of Mexico, in
calling togeth federal electors, nominally for
the choice oft successor to Jam-e 2, expect
that the really important business of. the new
Congress will be the consideration of proposi
tions for a. peace or truce, to be laid by foreign
powers bofore it. These propositions pro
ceeded originally from the French and En
glish governments, but it is understood that
they are to undergo essential modifications by
the diplomatic conference at Jalapa. The
parties to~this conference, so far as known, are
the British, French, Spanish, Prussian and
United States ministers, all of whom have
special instructions in reference to matters be
fore them. '
GREAT BATTLE IN Pnnsu.—-Thc Persians
have recently fought a great battle with the
wild Turcomans, who do predate on their north
western frontier. About the first of October,
Prince Mirza. with 10,000 intantry and 4,000
cavalry, attacked the ancomans near Mere,
and after a nine hours’ fight, completely over
whelmed them, killing some 4,000 and taking
about the same number prisoners. They also
took great numbers of horses, camels and arms
The Persian loss was considerable.
Pno .m-zss 0F LIBERIA—The clipycr ship
South EL“... mun}. nun-mun Til’briq a. portion
of the.recanful'ed Africans landed at Key West,
has arrived at New Orleans, with advices from
Buchanan as late as September 24th. Presi
dent Benson’s administration in Liberia is ele
vating that African State to 21 most promising
condition. Emigrants lately settled in the

FEVER AND AGUE, AND ALL FEVERS
are cured by peraevemnce with
_ BRANDEETH’S PILLS,
which takes all poisons, of whatever nature they may
be, from the circulation.
Mr. John Y. Knight, Supervisor of New Castle, Wes
cheater county, New York! says, November. 1858.:
“ I was, two years ago, attacked with i‘ever and ague,
which, notwithstanding the best medical advice, con
tinued to sorely afllict me for six tedious months; I be
came yellow as safiron, and reduced to skin and bone.
Medicine and physicians were abandoned in despair. As
an experiment, I concluded to try a single dose of six
of Brandreth’s Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty
stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed
to arouse all the latent energies of my exhausted frame.
I feared the worst—their purgative efi‘eet was different
from anything I had ever used or heard of. At length
this effect ceased, and I seemed lighter and breathed
freer. That evening I was indeed sensibly better and
slept soundly all night. The next day I followed the
same course, and continued to take the pills in this way
about three weeks, when I found myself entirely cured.
My health has been surprisingly good ever since.”
