    1787, and to it has boon added link after link,
every acquisition of territory, and by the birth
of every new sister into the family of States
down to the present time. Not only the history
Of our Republic, but our very lives are con
cessions and compromises with our Creator
through Our Saviour. The great Franklin said
in; the Convention of 1787, that ~ both sides
should part with some of their demands,"
rill who does not know that the great • 4 Magna
harts" of our liberties was only originated,
terfeeted and adopted after long, tedious and
angry debates—when mutual and conflicting
Interests were merged in the "nobler man" and
patriot, for his country's cause and the good
of mankind. If our erring brethren of the
South, whose precipitate action we deplore,
have been led by false and ormolus counsel
lingo, into steps that, unless retraced, must
inevitably lead to the dissolution and ruin of
this fair temple of human liberty, should we not
in that spirit inculcated by the Great Teacher
of mankind, go to that sister State in kindness,
love and sympathy, soothe and bind her
wounds, whether imaginary or real, and win
her back to the paths of peace, harmony and
fraternal Union ? It is our duty to counsel mod
eration ; better, far better, to endure present
wrongs than to hasten to grapple with those we
know not of in the unseen future. Let us ex
beast all peaceable and Christian measures to
bring about a reconciliation ; exhaust all plans
the fertile brain of man is capable of suggest
ing, by entreating, by kindly expostulation,
by appeals to their patriotism, their love of
coantry, their memories of the hallowed past,
by all the ties of blood, country and religion
Which unite us as the people of one common
country; let us sacrificeparty platfornts,ambition,
all, all but our honor and our manhood, to bring
about a reconciliation, anti once more restore
peace to our troubled country. Let ns; as
Americans, as citizens of the great family of
States, not lose sight of the fact that to win
and maintain our happy Union has cost our
ancestors both blood and treasure—and that an
attempt to coerce or win back a revolting and
head-strong province, or a portion of the same,
would but re-enact all the horrors of war, want
and deprivation, with ten-fold malignity, ern
: elty bloodshed.

dilria ' ild-iiiii trying period. We say this
much in justice to a political opponent who
MS dared to break the shackles of party disci
plis'ie and speak the voice of Pennsylvania. In
the decided step he has taken, he is entitled to
the encouragement and support of every true
hearted Pennsylvanian who does not mean that
this conservative State shall ba hitched to the
Oar of New England Abolitionism, and the
Union sundered to preserve the political con
sistency of a set of stubborn fanatics.
The 'New York Tribune betrays its apprehen-
Skit that the Union of the Pennsylvania Sena
tors in favor of the proposition offered by Mr.
&omen, may result in a pacification, and the
consequent overthrow of the ultra-Repu Wean&
This alarm is manifested by abuse of the Penn
sylvania Senators, and misrepresentation of
the nature of the Bigler proposition. The Tri
bune asserts that this plan proposes to subvert
the principles of the Constitution, and disarm
the Constitution of its own defence that it may
get the opportunity to overthrow it. This is
not true. Even a cursory reading of Mr. Big
brie resolutions 'will show that they do not
propose to engraft amendments upon the Con
stitution without following strictly all the re
quirements of that instrument for its own
amendment. The Constitution specifies that
amendments shall be proposed ty a two. thirds
tote in Congress,and ratified by three-fourths of
the States. Mr. Bigler does not propose to
amend the Constitution without complying to
the letter with all these requirements. But he
does propose to take the sense of the people at
a popular election, for the purpose of ascer
taining their wishes on this subject and of af
fording to their representatives in Congress

work before us there is uo evidence that be has
swerved from the steady line of history to bestow
unmerited praise upon any one. .But the style
so peculiarly his own embellishes every page.—
Dry and musty parte are made as interesting as a
story.. We take great Minor by the hand, and
measure thoughts with Nero. We listen to the
thunder of the guns of La Bette Prance in the Ita
lian campaign of 1796, and to the shout of the
mountaineers of Garibaldi on the fifteenth of
May, 1860. The vivid picture of the struggles of
a nation is painted by a master band . .
The work is in one octavo volume of 586 pages,
well bound and neatly printed.
for him an enviable fame. In the present.volume
be has interwoven sketches of national history
with a life narrative. The result hadbeen a work
interesting not only to those more intimately con
cerned, in the Schuyler family, but of great value
to the statesman and the patriot. We cheerfully
commend it to public attention.
The trouble about this house is not its location
for ft is a very good one, bettor far, as regards ca
pacity or comfort, than - either of those proposed to
be swopped for it; but lack of grotind upon which
to construct such an edifice as the Executive of
tbie . Stete altould have during his pilgrimage at
the seat of government; for he takes his high of
fice, with all its ills or graces, as be finds it, and
cannot alter it for the better during his incum
bency, Thie look of epee, httipnatoly, is nut ir
remediable, for alongside of the premises the
Messrs. Joned own some 80 feet unoccupied front,
the
same depth as the State lot; which they offer
todisposes of to individual) et the rate cuirent in
that respectable neighborhood for the last' ten or
fifteen years, to wit : about one hundred dollars per
foot front—and they cannot ask the State a greater
price, or if they do, ibeuld not get H. Now, why
should not the State purchase forty feet of this,
which, added to the present lot, would make a
space of 70 feet by 102 in depth on Second, an 60
foot street Y This would cost s4.ooo—say $5,000
for a wing—making, say $10,000; which added to
$B,OOO, for the original to which $2,000
is to be added for mirrors, carpeting, water and gas
fixtures, would give the State a creditable estab
lishment for about $20,000; and the same - could
be disposed of for about 'the same sum any day in
the year. Such an additicn would give dining,
reception and lodging rooms aniple for: any gen
tleman's family, who is likely to be chosen Gov
ernor for the next half century. If the writer of
this were Governor, his chaise would 4, res id eßge

comfort he could enjoy that outside of Legislative
or other borers. As it stands thus far, the State
made a better purchase in this very home than it
often does in its bargains; and no citizen ac

TUE INCREASED BANS.BATES IN ENGLAND AND
FRANCE.—The banks of England and France
have increased their rates to seven per cent.—
The London Now, IA tfiliffiCrAting the reasons
assigned for the action of the Bank of England,
says:
"The Bank 'of Franee is in an tinsatisfaetory
position, the effect of the American panie
having relatively been quite as much felt in
France as in England. There is also the fact
that the reserve of notes in the Bank of En
gland, by last returns, showed a faliitig of , of
upwards of a million pounds. The news from
America is supposed to have had the chief in
fluence in the bank panic on . Mond, thr
" sion by tk.,*,04+3.4 o . V:thirds of cable branch .1
" of Congresw4khe'rAtilleation of the States,
"as provided in the Constitution." Wherein
consists the unconstitulionality of this melt-
sure? There is nothing contained in the Con
stitution which prevents or prohibits Congrees
from submitting any question to a direct vote
of the people - for the purpose of enlightening
its judgment upon a measure of the most vital
consequence—and this is all that Mr. BIOLER
proposes to accomplish.
The Tribune asks the question--- ,, Does Penn
"sylvania give it (Bigler's measure) its appro
c,val?" That is the'very question Mr. Bigler
proposes to have answered, and that the 751.
bune does not want a reply to. Let the question
be submitted and you will soon ascertain how
Pennsylvania stands. But this is an ordeal
from which the ultra-Republicans shrink. They
don't want the people to be heard. They dread
their verdict. They prefer shielding themselves
behind the vote of the Qth of November, ob
tained by misrepresentation of the true state
of the country. They profess to believe that
the public mind has not changed, and yet they
are unwilling to put their faith to the practical
test of a popular election.
We firmly believe that a large majority of
the citizens of Pennsylvania are favorable to
the settlement of this unhappy controversy
upon the basis of the Crittenden compromise,
and that if the opportunity is afforded them,
they will so register themselves. We challenge
those who question this to the test of a popu
lar election, and if they are not craven to their
own professions they will not shrink from the
Ordeal.
RECENT PUBLICATIONS.
We have received from MasoP ItgoTgglte,
Ind 7 Mercer street, New York, through their
agent, J. F. STRABBAIIOII, a copy of " Abbott's
Italy.' •
There ere three reasons why this volume should
obtain an extensive circulation. These are, that
Italy at the present time bas the eyes of the world
attracted to her ; that her history has probably
never yet been written by a pen as free and truth
ful as that of John S. C. Abbott ,• and that from
the History in question much can be learned to
guide and instruct the people of a republic, at
this most momentous episode in their career.
Commencing at a period 700 years B. C., Mown
gives us the stories of IPgendary Rome. He tells
us of Troy, of Ignear, of the Sabines end the Cu
riatii, and of Tarquin, and the unfortunate Lucre
tia. Then, from the days of the Pi tetorship, fol
lows the history of the conflicts—the conquests—
the campaigns and the rulers of Ttaly, Finally,
he clasps with the- intervention of France—the
landing of Garibaldi upei the shores of Sicily, and
the battles of 1860.

SOME IMPORTANT FIG URA;,
From the New Orleans Me ; lithe.
The report. on the commerce and navigation
of the United States, made at the presect ses
sion of Congress, has not yet reatthed us. We
have, however, that of the preceding year,
made up to the 80th June, 1859, which is the
close of the fiscal year of the United- States
Goverr meat. We collect from it some very
interesting statistical facts, bearing on the
comparative rev?.nues and , productiveness of
the- elaveholding and the non-slaveholding
States.
The following is a classification of the exports
and imports, by States:

Of the exports of the whole United States, it
will be seen that largely more than one- half goes
abroad directly from Southern ports. These,
with trifling exceptions, consist exclusively of
Southern products. The exports of the North
are, moreover, largely made up of Southern
products. New York exported 07,431,367
of domestic _ produce, of which $24,412,000
were in gold and silver, and $17,137,000 in
products exclusively raised in the Southern
States, in addition to which were many millions
more of articles raised in the slaveholding
States, but common to both sections, which
cannot be discriminated in the returns. It is a
reasonable estimate, that of the three hundred
and twenty millions, in round numbers, exclu
sive of gold and silver, and re-exports of foreign
products, the Southern soil produced two hun
dred and fifty millions. Four-fifths of the
exports of the' United States, the basis of im
ports and the source of the revenues, have,
therefore, been produced within the slavehold
ing States.
Turning to a report from the Treasury Depart
ment made in 1857, we find the aggregate
domestic exports of the United States, from the
beginning of the Government up to the 30th of
June, 1857, to-have amounted to the gross sum
of $5,469,994,015; adding the export of 1858,
the eand total is $5,805;883,400. The total
amount from customs paid into the United
States Treasury for the same period, viz: 1790
to 1858 inclusive, was $1,487,817,117.
It may not be exactly into of the eatilet
exports of the•country, before cotton became
so extensively cultivated, that the exports of
Southern produce bore so large a proportion
over that of the Ngrtll , but it la a find fad
now, and bas been for so many years that it is
not unreasonable, and perhaps below the truth,
when we state that of fourteen hundted and
forty thousands of millions of dollars of taxes
paid into the publie treasury, the South has
furnished by her induttiti'Y the source of more
than a thousand millions of clonal's, and has
been thereby the main support of the whole
.fe'cleralimat em. of revenues. . .rwir-nrmie
the South supplies so largely the material for
foreign commerce, the commerce itself is done
mostly by the North. The exports go forward
by Northern vessels froth Northern ports, and
by Northern and foreign vessels trom our own
porta, and the import trade comes almost ex
clusively through the North. The registered
tonnage of Boston, engaged in the foreign trade,
is greater than that of all the Southern States
united, and New York has nearly three times
the number. The South hires Northern and
foreign tonnage to transport her products, and
gets her imports in the same way.
In 1859, as stated in the tables above, the
imports from abroad into the Northern S tates
amounted to $305,512,849, and into Southern
ports to , only $32,955,281.
We do notpropose to dilate upon these figures,
to show bow wally of the elements of a great
national prosperity exist at the South; 'nor to
comment upon the abundant capacity of self
support which they demonstrate 'to exist. But
in these times of threatened war, when mad
dened weetieneliete in the Nerthetu States are
treating the great questions which. are at issue
between us, not on principles of peace, with the
desire to continue or to.renew the .connexion
which has been so profitable to them, but,
in the demoniac temper to do what mischief
they can, where they can intimidate and sub
due, it may be useful to recall, to their view
what is the greatness of the interests which
they are devoting to all the terrible *Mufti) et'
civil strife.
Moreover, it would . be well for our Southern
people, while making their arrangements to go
forward unfalteringly in the assertiOn of their
rights and the execution of their will, to con
sider deliberately the mighty commerce which
would be for a time, at least, put to hazard in
the uncertainties Of a new government, and
provide, by all the safogu4rde 156eilble, that the
inevitable sacrifices may be as light and as brief
as can be made consistent with the great pur
poses to which they will be, by necessity, made
secondary.
THE LATE LOLA MONTEZ.—This female, who
died in New York, a few days ago, is said to
have loft WO to the Magdalen Boeiety, of
that city, and directed that all other money
she had, after the payment of her debts, should
go to charitable purposes. Before she died she
purchased a lot. in Greenwood, and on her
coffin was the simple inscription: "Mrs. Eliza
Gilbert, died January 17, 1861, aged 42 years."'
The Post says, that during her life-time her .
eeconttio actions were , speedily , reported, but
her many acts of generosity, especially to poor
literary people—and there are several of this
class in New York who can bear tetttitneny to
this—were known only to the recipients of her
careless bounty.
When Lola went to California as au actress,
she engaged at agent. This gentleman was st
married man, with two children, and seeing
him unhappy in their absence, she presented
him with sufficient money to bring them and
their mother on. Shortly after their arrival
the husband died. Lola then adopted the
widow - and orphans—educated the- latter at
Mrs. Willard's seminary, at Troy.

Lola went home, "more in sorrow than in an

paralysis, which, a few days' ago, destroyed
her. Lola Montez was literally murdered by
ingratitude. •
Louis NAPOLEON ON AMERICAN AFFAIRS.—
The Paris correspondent of the Itratzonal
Intel
ligences, speaking of the French Emperor's
reception of the foreign diplomatic corps, on
New Year's day, relates the following:
When the collective reeeption of the diplo
matic body was over, the Emperor passed
slowly along the line of. Ambassadors and Min
isters, speaking a few words to each in person.
After a moment's conversation with the Per
sian Ambassador, who stood at the right of
the Minister of the United States, the Empe
ror approached Mr... Faulkner, and cordially
shook his hand. The usual words of greeting
were then exchanged; after which the Emperor
asked, in English
ig What is the latest - intelligence you have
received from the United States ? Not so
alarming, I trust, as the papers represent it ?"
" Like most nations, sire," replied Mr.
Faulkner, " we have our troubles, which have
lost none of their coloring, as described in the
European press."
The Emperor. "I hope it is not true that any
of the States have separated from the . general Con
federation,"
Mr. Faulkner. " The States still form one
common government, as heretofore. There is
excitement in portions of the Confederacy, and
there are indications of ettrenie tneasuvee be
ing adopted by one or two of the States. But
we are familiar with the excitements,, as we are
with the vigor, which belong to the Institutions
of a free people. We have already more than
once passed through commotions which would
have shattered into fragments any other gov
ernment on earth, and this fact justifies the in
ference that the strength of the Union will now
be found equal to the strain upon it."
The Emperor. "I sincerely hope it may be so;
and that you may long continue an united and
prosperous people."
Mr_ Faulkner then asked perniiaaion of the
Emperor to present to him Mr. J. G. Clarke,
acting Secretary of Legation, and Mr. J. E.
Boyd Faulkner, acting Assistant Secretary, to
whom his majesty made a few kind remarks,
and then passed on to the . Minister of -Den
mark.
REBUKED IN AN UNEXPECTED QUARTER.—
Lord Broughton has so often expressed him
self opposed to American slavery, and in suoh
decided language, that the special admirers of
John Brown, in Boston, recently tent him an
invitation to be present at a convention in
Boston, to disouss how slavery may be abolished:
In the letter of invitation, they said, 'Sit would
be a work of supererogation now to defend
John Brown, atid'a useless waste of time to
eulogize hitt. Looting both of these duties to
the coming ages; let us seek to continue his life
by striving to accomplish what be left us to
finish." Howeifer great an advocate of freedom
Broughmau maybe, he is not-an admirer of
such wicked measures as Brown adopted -to
overthrow slavery. He says, in his reply, that
his desire for emancipation canonly be gratified
by lawful means—"a strict regard to the rights
Of property, or what tlke law declares to be
property, and a constant repugnance to the
shedding of blood." He does not consider any
man a martyr who seeks even a lawful object
by illegal means, and expresses a doubtif the
judicial decision, which made .a slave free as
soon as he touched British ground, would have
been given had Jamaica touch ell upon the coasts
of Great Britain. The ohe idead 'Bostonians
got a decided snubbing from their friend, who
is too great a friend of humanity to let loose
upon society all the crimes in the calendar, to
correct any one of its evils. .
now living ? To the South he would say,
"pause!"—and to the North he would say,
"give back !" To both he would say, ".ye are
brethren—exhaust all honorable efforts to settle
your disputes before you imbrue yourhandt. in
each other's blood." What would Mr. Clay
say ? Re would say, "Kentucky fordids ths
union. The Union is a physical, a moral, a
political necessity. The dream of separate
State independence is a dream of blood and of
vile dependence on foreign powers ; the dream
of two Confederacies is a dream of border wars,
of oppressive taxes, of military rule, and at
last of despotism. Settle your differences.—
Yon ean, smi. you must do it. Better give time
now to do it than to suffer the evils of disunion
through all time to come." Would to God that
these noble spirits were now among us ! "They
would tell the. North the truth, and urge the
North to do justice; they Would implore the
South to pause, and to make' one more effort
to obtain her rights and: to maintain her honor
in the Union.—North Carolina Stanflarti.
