Let us Have a Celebratian.
--.‘ Why don’t the Bsf‘lhlicnns have a grand cel
ebration to commemorate met, grant. victor-J
in the election of Lincoln? Why don't the
Wide-Awakes turn out and make the welkin
ring with their shouts of rejoicing? Such a
victory as this should not be permitted to pass
withoutrecognition. The good times promised
have already come. What else but the triumph
of the party of Freedom could have brought. all
this prosperity? Behold the fruits! One State
already determined upon secession. Other
States about to follow. The country uponlthe
brink of a civil war. Business paralyzed.
Banks stopped. Merchants exchanging bank—
ruptcy for prosperity. Manufacturers ceasing
"their operations. Thousands of men thrown
V out of employment upon the threshold of a
soverewinter~and ruin and starvation staring.
hundreds upon hundreds in the face. What is
the cause of all this? The season has been
prosperous; crops are good; money plenty;
every element of prosperity abounds, and yet
the country is snfi'ering, and eufering still more
from apprehension of the future. And all this \
is directly attributable to the election of LI:-
oonx. These are the good times to which we
were invited, are they? If so, let us have a.
celebration! Let us display our gratitude to I
the free-speech, freednbor, free-soil party!
Let us have a procession of Wide-Awakes ar
rayed in shining capes and bearing flaming
torches aloft! Let us have a general illumina
tion, for how can we suppress our joy at the l
good times that have come upon us 3’ ‘
Cause and Efl‘ect.
Some persons are disposed to question the
authenticity of the letter addressed by JAMES
S. 831531}! to Gov. LETCHER, of Virginia, upon
the general stoned that no citizen of Pennsyl
nnia outside of the Lunatic Hospital would be
so demented as to indite such an epistle at this
critical juncture of our National affairs. But
astonishing asjhe truth may appear to rational
minds, we are credibly informed that there is
such an individual as Jams S- Bmsmn‘, and
that-he resides in Bellfoute, Centre county, from
which place his letter was dated, and that more—
over the document subscribed by him is perfectly
characteristic of the man.
There is, in fact, nothing in this letter of
Bnlsnm’s Ill!“ might not he expected from n
wenknnd excitable intellect when completely
under the influence of the extreme doctrines of
the Republican party; and his conduct serves
as a pointed illustration of the evil efl'ecla of
Who principles with which Republican leaders
have poisoned the public mind. We see at once
4119 paternity of the ideas that Bmsnm incor
porates into his letter, and trace the responsi
bility immediately to such men as Joins Hum-
MAI! and ANDREW G. Gunny.
kasmx tells Gov. LETL‘HER that tweni y- eight
millions of Northern freemen will m‘arch against
ihe secessionists to crush them—a huge brag,
considering that the whole population of the
Unit-ed States scarcely exceeds this number.—
BUt it will be recollected that after anmxarox
was elected Speaker of the House the Republi~
(“ms held ajollificatiou meeting at Washington,
vhere J on}! Humans made a. speech, in which
he threatened the South with subjugation at
the hands of eighteen millions of Northern fl.€e_
men. This speech of Hielnnan‘s was bloody,
brutal, malignaht, and tended greatly to inflame
ill—feeling. The more moderate of the Repub~
linens were ashamed of the atroeious violence
of their new ally. But it seems that Hicxnmx’s
threat. made a I'm-9p impression upon the mind
of Blusmx and doubtless upon other minds of
like calibre; SO that when Blusmx began to
contemplate the necessity of marching South
‘1 to tench 111050. South Carolinians their duty he
f wry nfiiux‘ally took a lofty view of things, and
i “handed ll iekman‘s eighteen millions ofNorth
' cm freeman into twenty-eight millions.
Original folly is so for better than the second
hand article that we wish we could confer upon
Bmsmx the compliment of being an originulr—
He is only a poor eopyist. He says that. it'
disunion is to come it had better come now, or
something to that etfect, and longs to begin
the crushing process at once. Now ANDREW
G. Cums, Governor elect. of Pennsylvania,
uttered the same sentiment as this from the
stump: and in his speech at Boston, where he
went for the express purpose of promoting the
election of BURLINGADIE, but did not succeed in
accomplishing that job, hcwantea the strength
of this Union tcsiod at once; and declared than 1
if disunion was in store for us it had better
come immediately than to be postponed until
some future day. The sentiment expressed in
Blusnlx’s letter conforms so exactly with the
Boston speech of Mr. Comm as to suggest the
idea. that the Governor elect had some hand in
the preparation of the epistle which ansnxx
forwarded to Gov. LETCHER. At all events, he
is responsible for the opinion that. the Union
had better be dissolved now than that. this Llire
ful event should be deferred for another genera
tion.
In truth, such men as 1111.15qu are only mir
rors to reflect. the enormities of the Hmmmms,
Ctznnxs, SEWAnDs and Sunxnks ; nndthey are
accountable for the violence of their followers,
who re-produce their revolutionary notions in
a more practical and therefore more startling
form. If we look closely at. Bmsmx we see in
him a doughty champion of the doctrines pro
mulgated by his neighbor, ANDREW G. CURTIS,
who is doubtless pleased to see the valiant
knight flashing his sword and uttering hig
words, far out. of the reach of actual danger.

The Virus of Black Republicanism.
From among the many crudities, absurdities
and sthidities which make up the editorial
columns of the Daily Tolrgraph, we copy the
following preciuus marceau, published on the
24th instant:
”$2 00
..10 00
A 1,71;on Mu 1x Scum (unmask—We notice that
ex-Governor Aiken opposes secession. He is a man of
influence, and will doubtless carry the more respectable
portion of the State with him. When the sentiment of
even that rampant State becomes divided, what hope is
there of their afl'ordi-ng us amusement much longer ‘!
Stephens and Johnson are both at work in Georgia, and
the state of mail-s there must be rather conservative
than otherwise. lmsmuch as the voluble Mr. Toombs
decides to reflect until March before he resigns. The
ridiculous foalery of South Carolina. has already ruined
her financial afl‘nirs. The popular current in all [ln
frothy States is beginning to turn in favor of theUuion
so their only safety. If they ere quietly allowed to blow
of their gas, and display their cockades until they get
duty, the agitators will settle down to their whisky amt
negroes, and we will hear nothing more from them until
the next. election. 1
The discovery of one Union man in South
Carolina, and the fact that Mr. Toombs has
postponed his resignation as a United States
Senator until the 4th of March next, are facts
sufficient to inspire the Telegraph with the
modest assurance that the agitation in the South
is at an end! Whereupon the Telegraph fore
goes the pleasure of any further “ amusement"
from that quarter, and magnanimously turns
up fimflwrn men oval; go "ling-2'17 urlzislzu and
neg/rots, until the next election.”
We are perfectly willing to give the Telegraph
credit. for all the stupidity it may legitimately
claim from its absolute want of knowledge,
nationality and patriotism; we are also inclined
to giveitcreiiit for the narrow-mindedness which
naturally flows from partizanship, intolerance
and inveterate bigotry. Still,‘ notwithstanding
these liberal concessions, our credulily will
not stretch so far as to believe that the Tale
graph has, from the meagre facts it adduces,
any faith in any present peaceful reaction in
the South ; but rather, like the afl‘righted boy
in the woods, it whistles to keep up its depart—
ing courage and consistently. to keep up the
system of gross deception which has marked
its course and that of its unholy allies, and
has dragged a eredulous and deluded people
into the abyss of a. financial revolution, the
bitter end of which no one can foretell !
To cover up its well-grounded apprehensions,
the Telegraph, with chattering teeth, makes a
spasmodic efl'ort to be facetious. It professes
to be amused at the rediculouofaolcry exhibited
in the frothy States! The blood-stained Nero
fiddled while Rome was in flames; our little
Hessian Nero grinds out of his little hand~
organ an Abolition tune, and bespatters with
filth the men of the South, by way of casting
oil upon the flames, which now threaten to
consume the Union and the temple of rational
liberty 3 _
It is true that nothing better could be ex~
peeled from the official organ of the Underground
Railroad; but the question arises, under the
experience of the last few days, how long will
the conservative men of Dauphin county 0011’
pent to encourage an incendiary sheet, the
tendency of whose doctrines is to destroy the
peace and harmony of the country, to snscitate
revolution, and to subvert the glorious confed
eracy, under which the American people have
heretofore enjoyed more freedom, more happi
uses, more national prosperity, than any people
upon the face of the earth? ‘ t
Resignation of Chief Justice Taney.
Telegraphic dispatches of Monday announced
the resignation of Chief Justice Taney. It
will devolve upon President Buchanan' to up
point a. successor. The Herald gives the fol
lowing brief account of Mr. Tancy and his
public services :
He was born March 17, 1777, in Calvert
county. in the State of Maryland, to which
State his forefathers emigrated about. the year
1750. He was educated at Dickinson College,
Carlisle, where he graduated in 1795. In the
spring of 1796 he commenced the study of the
law at the city of Annapolis, where the prin
cipal courts of Maryland were then held. He
often-wards, in 1801, removed to Fredericktown,
m _Fredex-iqk county, it. being a more eligible
pomt for the pursuit of his profession. In
1816 he was elected in that county as one of
the electors of the Senate, and was chosen by
the electoral body a member of the Senate of
Marylantl. Under the constitution of Mary
lend, as It then stood, the State Senate con
sisted of fifteen members, whose term of Ber
wce was five years, and who were chosen bya
body of electors composed of two members
elected by the people, from each Count and l
one from the city of Baltimore and onz’from
the city of Annapolis. After the expiration of
his term of oflice in the Senate Mr. Tang re
turned to private life, and continued the Km.
tice of law in Frederick until 1823, when he
removed to Baltimore, where he has ever since
resided.
In 1827 he was appointed Attorney General
of Maryland by the Governor and Council. and
a; 3g 133151111151. proper lo menfiion, as the fact is
equally honorable to both parties, that the
I Governor and Council and Mr. Taney were, at '
thetime of the appointment, politically opposed
' to each other—the Governor being the triend
of Mr. Adams, who was then President. and
‘ warmly supported his rc-eleetion, and the latter
i being equally decided and open in supporting
1 General Jackson, the contest, too, having at.
‘ that. time become exceedingly animated. Mr.
‘ Tansy continued to hold the office of Attorney
General of Maryland until June, 1831, when
‘ he resigned upon receiving the appointment, of
Attorney General of the United States, This
oflice he resigned in September, 18:53, when
President Jackson directed the then SOGretnry
0f the Treasury, Wm J. Dunne, to deposit the
money of the United States in certain hanks
designated by him, as he thought. the United
States Bank had resolved itself into n perma
nent electioneering institution. The secretary
refused to obey the instructions of the Presi
dent, when the latter ordered his removal, and
the appointment of Mr. Tuney to fill the va
annoy. Mr. Teney obeyed the instructions of
the President, much to the chagrin of the
friends of the interested bank. A presentiment
of what. would happen induced President. Jack
-5011 to delay, until near the end of session, the
nomination of Mr. Taney for Secrezary of the
Treasury. He had offended the Bank of the
United States too much to expect his confir
mation in the present temper of the Senate,
and the nomination was not sent. in until the ‘
last day of the sesrion (June 23, 1333,) when
it was immediately rejected. Mr. Teney there
upon rcsignecl his oflice on the same day. He
then returned to Baltimore and resumed the
practice of the law.
In 1835 Judge Duvall resigned his office as
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and
Genernl Jackson nominated Mr. Taney to fill
the vacancy. The majority of the Senate, how
ever, refused to not upon the nomination until
the last moment. of the session, when it, was
postpvxned indefinitely—n. vote which was in
tended to be, and was understood as equivalent
to rejection
Before the next session of Congress Chief
Justice Marshall (lied, and Mr. Tuney, was,
therefore, nominated for the office of Chief Jim
line of the United Slates Supreme Court, and
the political complexion of the Senate having
i changed, his nomination was confirmed by that
body in March. 1836, and he took his seat on
the bench in the Circuit. Court, for the district.
of Maryland in May. 1836, and upon the bench
of the Supreme Court. in January, 1837. Our
space will not permit us to speak in detail of
able and dignified manner in which Justice
Taney has discharged his duties as the chief of
the highest court in the loud, and for the deep,
erudite and profound legal knowledge with
which his decisions in important cases have
been characterized. The most; import-ant de
oision in which Judge Tnney occupied a. promi~
nent part in its authorship, was that for the
rendition of the fugitive slave Dred Scott. The
document showed abundant proofs of deep
legal research, as well as profound statesman
ship, and it will claim an honorable record in
our federal jurisprudence. Judge Taney retires
to private life after having passed the allotted
age of man-four score years—with an honor
able name and the best, wishes of his country
men.
For the Patriot. and Unfian
THE EVIL AND THE REMEDI‘.
Mn; Helium-There is a. remedy within the
power of the States, and of the Federal Govern
ment, for the evil of Disnnion, which now appears
so imminent, and which, if it falls upon us, will
destroy the fairest fabric of government that. man
has ever yet devised, and which to avoid calls upon
all patriots to make the greatest imaginable sacri
flees, short of an absolute abandonment of their
own rights.
The evils complained of by the South may he
"med .111 a wax, form words. i'slmil state them,
ennexing to each its remedy.
The South complains—
I- That the Northern humanitarian and aboli
tionists send emissnries amongst them to tamper
with the persons “held to service or labor” within
the Southern border; such tampering having the
efi'eet to excite servile emeutea and insurrections.
Remedy.—No one questions the right of South
ern Legislatures to make laws panisbing such of.
fenders, upon conviction, to such extent as they
may deem proper. Under our Democratic system,
or indeed under any eystem, it may be impractica
ble to prevent them going there and committing
the offences 3 but the fear of penalties may have
an effect to prevent it in a. grant degree—as such
fears operate against other breaches of the law.
11. That the Northern State: have opposed, and
do oppose, obstacles to the rendition of fugitive
“ persons held to service or labor” in the Southern
States.
Remedy—Law: passed by the Northern States,
interfering with this Southern right, are null per
n, because such laws are in contravention of the
Fedora! Constitution. The Federal Government is
entirely competent to enforce the absolute com
mands of her Constitution, any State law to the
contrary notwithstanding.
111. The rights of the Southern people, as to
their peculiar property in the Territories of the
United States, are at present undefined in the Uni'
ted States Constitution. At least they ‘ure not
there explained to the satisfaction of the Whole of
our people. The want of this definition is perhap!
the chief cause of our {resent difiieulty.
Remedy.—Let this unexpired Congress define
this right, and ofi'er euoh definition to the States as
an amendment to the Constitution. Upon the no
eeptence or rejection of such amendment may de
pend, for this time, the question of dissolution-
Can this American maple, these members of the
lime family—who, through the valley of the she
dow of death, attained, at the hands of the Al
- the boon of this Constitution and Union'—
ean this American people long debate which of the ‘
two to choose? Surely there is patriotism enough 1
in this country left to save us from destruction end

A CURE FOR Hyunornonu.—The Paris Ilsa“
icale Belg: states, on the authority of Father
Legraud de la Liray, late interpreter to Admi
ral Rigald de Genouilly, and one of the oldest.
Ind most venerable missionaries in (Penguin
and Coahin-China, that in those countries by
‘ drophobia is cured with complete success by
\ boiling a. handful of the leaves of Datua Stra
mom‘um or Thorny Apple, in a litre of water,
until reduced to one half, and then administer
ing the potiou'to the patient all at a time. A
violent paroxyem of rage ensues, which lasts
but a short time, and the patient is cured in
the course of twenty-four hours. For the
benefit of our readers we may state that the 1
leaves of Stramonium are highly narcotic, and
as such are recommended in asthma under the
form of segars, to be smoked as usual; but
that. the same leaves, taken in large quantities,
whether in powder, or under the form of a.
decoction, will produce temporary idiocy.—
As to its cfiicacy in confirmed hydrophobia, it
seems to be very earnestly recommended by
Father Legrand. who declares he has tried it
several times, and invariably with success.
The great difliculty, will, of course, consist in
administering the remedy to the patient, which
probably must be done by main force, with the
aid of a horn.
TESTIMONIAL—The hotelkeepem of Albany

GENERAL NEWS.
Usnmnmurr or Cmcunsnnrun EVl
pence—Two men in France took shelter in a
barn for the night. In the morning one of
them was found dead, with severe injury to the
head. The comrade was at once arrested, and
told some “cock and hull” story about the ter
rible storm on the night in question, and at
tributed his companion’s death to the eifect of
a thunderbolt. He was not credited and was
in a. fair way to be executed for the supposed
crime. A scientific gentleman, hearing of the
circumstance, examined the place, and founda
‘ hole in the roof of the barn, and an :erolite
close to the spot. where the deceased had slept.
on the night, in question. The innocence of
the accused was at once considered as estab
lished, and he was released.
GAninALm.—-Garibaldi has resigned his dic
tatorship into the hands of Victor Emmanuel,
and gone home to his rude farm on the little
island of Coprere. After uniting Sicily and
Naples with their nine millions of people to
the Italian Kingdom, the liberatnr returns to
the simplicity of his peaceful seclusion, refu
sing both weullh and titles, enriched in nothing
but. glory, and (he mingled admiration and
aifection of the world. If history records any
where the life of a here more disinterested,
more brave, more faithful, endowed with more
substantial magnanimity or a more sublime
simplicity of character, we do not know it.—
Italy may well look upon him with pride and
gratitude, but he belongs to humanity even
more than he belongs to her. l
Msnmcnony ACCIDENT FROM Bunxmo FLUID. ‘
mThs wife of Capt. William Titus, and her
sister, Mrs. Bur-at, residing at Ccntreport, L. 1.,
were burned to death a few days since Aliltla
child of Mrs. Titus had a fluid lamp in her
hand, which she was directed to put upon the
table. Instead of doing so, she threw the lamp
into her mother’s lap, where it. exploded.—
Mra. Titus, in her fright, threw the lump from
her at random. and it. fell into the lap of her
sister. The clothing of both women was satu—
rated with the inflammable fluid and set on
fire; before the flames could be extinguished
they were so badly burned that they died the
next day.
TERRIBLE Tnscsnr.~'l‘he Fort Wayne (Ind.)
Times says that it most terrible and fatal acci
dent, with consequences still more terrible,
occurred in Adams county the other day. The
story is at once the briefest and most. awful we
have read of in many a year. A woman about
to churn butter, threw some boiling water in
the churn, into which one of the children had,
unnoticed by the mother, placed an infant,
and it was instantly scolded to dent-h. In her
frenzy the mother seized a. chair and inflicted
a death blow upon the little girl. After reali
zing what she had done she threw herself into
the well and was drowned.
A Divoncn Cum—The Burch divorce case,
which a year or two ago appeared in the news
papers, is again up in a. small town in Illinois.
The parties are wealthy persons in Chicago.—
The divorce is asked by the husband on the
ground of adultery. The evidence is of the
usual character, what the servants and acquaint
ances saw, and when they saw nothing what
they suspected. 'This matter is a great scandal,
and, from the position of the parties socially,
excites more than usual interest in the West,
particularly in Chicago, where they all belong.
It has assumed no new feature. The wife
denies the allegation, and alleges cruel and
hard treatment by her husband.
The New York ll’orld, which, though as large
as the two-cent papers of that city, has sold for
one cent, will today charge two cents a copy.
The World was started at one cent, to secure a.
larger circulation than it could hope for at two
cents. It has reached that point when it can
double its price without losing perhaps more
than a. third of its edition. Whether the ex
periment will pay now, will depend in some
measure upon the question. how much it sunk
while being published at one cent. on a. sheet
which cost more than that price for the mere
white paper. -
Tnnown GUT or 'Estrtorsrsrzr.——~Thc New
York Journal of Commerce thinks it would pro
bably be no exaggeration to estimate the. num
ber of persons thrown out of employment since
election day at 25,000, a large proportion of
whom are young women. Onc clothing estab
lishment in New York has discharged 1,000
workmen; a hat establishment has discharged
nearly 1,000; a saddlery firm has reduced its
force about 500,- and curtailment is very gen
eral. At Newark, especially, the crisis is se~
verely felt, on account of their extensive con
nections with the southern trade.
IMPoursx'r RELIGIOUS Mancunian—A recent ‘
letter from Constantinople alludes very briefly
to what may prove an important mavemant:
“ Quite recently, it is said, 40,000 Armenians
have proposed to form an Armenian Episcopal
Church. Dropping all the errors and supersti
tions which have crept into the Church, they
propose to go back to Gregory, their patron
Saint, who flourished in the fifth century, and
adopt the doctrines and rights current in the
Church at that. early age.”
PUBLIC Orricnns or lows In A BAD Flx.—'l'he
lost lowa. Legislature, in repealing a. whole
section of the revised statutes, inadvertently
swept away every provision for the payment
of public oflicers, county and State, who receive
their salaries in fees. Witnesses, jurors, county
oflicers and State functionaries, sufl'er alike,
and the courts have just decided that there is
no remedy for them until the Legislature
(which does not meet until 1802) passes a. on

BRANDRETH’S PILLS,
which takes all poisons, of whatever nature they may
be, from the,circnlution.
’ Mr. John Y. Height, Supervisor of New Castle, West
l cheater county, New Xork, says, November. 1858:
“' 1 Win, two years ego, attacked with fever sud sgue,
which, notwithstanding thebest medical advice, con—
tinued to sorely afflict me for six tedious months; I be
ceme yellow as safl‘ron, and reduced to skin and bone.
Medicine and physicians were abandoned in despair. As
tn experiment, I concluded to try a. single dose of six
of Brnndreth’s Universal Vegetable Pills,_on an empty
stomach, only in the. morning. The first dose seemed
to nrouso all the latent energies of my exhausted frame.
I feared the worst—their purgative efl'ect was different
from anything I had ever used or heard of. At length
this cfi‘ect 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, find 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.” .
