The Commissiners are clogged with certain in strnetions .vtitich must defeat a Satisfactory_ agreement. They are not to consent to an amendment of the Constitution; they are to demanaguirautees for the security of Northern men in -13 oinhern States ; and, in short, they are not permitted to yield in any material par ticular. It is-hoping too much to anticipate that at, .Im/di-will be derived front sending Come4esioners to Washington with their heads tied down-to the-Cbicago platform.

Meeting•of the .'state Committee_ The Democratic State Committee assembles in this plice.to-day for the purpose of consid ering.thelmupriety of coiling a State Conven tion at an early day to take some action iu re spect to the distracted and dissolving state of the country. The .Iteptiblioan party, which hoe complete .poiseasion of the State govern ment, and will -soon obtain control of the Na tional Government, is frittering away precious time that should bellevoted to the composition of the difficulties which are destroying the Union, without .advancing a step towards a satisfactory adjustment. The Democratic party, after laboring to .prevent the difficulties which they foresaw and predicted would result from the election of Lincoln, cannot stand idle spec tators of the ruining policy pursued by the Republicans, at a time when it is evident that nothing but prompt and decided action can fur- 1 nish the smallest Rope of the rescue of the border States from the current of seeession into which they we rapidly drifting.; and at a time, too, whew it is equally clear abet a large majority of the people of Pennsylvania are favorable to moderation, concession, com promise and the preservation of the Union by peaceful measures.. - It is all important in this emergeney that the voice of Pennsylvania should be heard, lest the impression may gain ground throughout the border States that the procrastination of our Legislature meets with the approval of the people, and : that the conservative men of this State; have_grounded their arms and yielded to the policy of coercion, as preferable to &peace • ful adjustnient ' The sentiment ' of conservative men in this emerrney poings: to the calling of a generd State Conveigion, as a rallying ►oint for the friends of compromile, withont . distinction Its to previond party divisions. To - accomplish this, it is tioscsoo7 0904:14,64 authorized call from some political organiza tion; and as the State Committee of the Dem ocratic party represents the largest body of conservative citizens in the State, it is emi nently proper that the call for a Convention should proceed from thrm. At the same time, the call should be so.eompreheneive as to avoid the suspicion that the movement is intended to make party caPitai'otit of the perilous circum stances of. Ike! country. This is not the time for the exhibition of amen patty tactics. The country is in danger. Patriotism must rise above party. The stake which every citizen 'has in the preservation of the Union is infi nitely greater than his stake in the preserva tion of any political organization. If the over throw of any party is necessary to the perpe tuity of the Union, tke public good demands the removal of such obstruction. While im pressing these truths we should not fall into the error of elevating party above patriotism, but should set a beneficial example by doing our duty to the country first. and to our party afterwards, The State Committee, composed of persons from every section of the State, will be ena bled to reflect public sentiment in relation to the means necessary to maintain the Union, and take such steps as may best contribute to a permanent settlement of existing troubles. Mr. Lincoln Reported in Favor of Com- It is stated that private letters have been received at Washington from Mr. LINCOLN, urging his friends to conciliation and compro mise, and that he indicates the border State resolutions as the Ipasis of an adjustment. Soon After the electoral votes shall be officially counted Mr. LINCOLN will acquaint the public with his views on the pending crisis. If this report proves true—and we most sincerely hope that it .may—we will witness a sudden and marvelous revolution in the sentiments of the Republican party. Many of those who have heretofore resisted compromise Os 'do , grading to. the North; will suddenly discover that they always were in favor of conciliation, and the border State proposition will forthwith become immensely popular. Had Mr. Ltscons spoken a month or six weeks ago, instead of maintaining an attitude of opinionless reserve; he -might have prevented the secession of sev eral States, and have weakened the movement in the border States. But better late than never. Mitchell's new General Atlas for 1861, con taining the maps of various countries in the world, plans of cities, &0., embraced in forty. seven Quarto Maps, forming a series of seventy six Maps and Plans, together with valuable Statistical Tables, and sold only by agents. This is Mitchell's latest , and beat attempt to furnish the American people with correct and reliable geographical knowledge, and will bear comparison with any similar work of the kind heretofore projected; while its price places it within the reach of persons of moderate means. It is simply an Atlas with necessary Statis tical Tables appended, it is gotten up in tha best style of map-working. The lettering is clear, the boundaries of each division * Of countries distinctly marked, and the whole beautifully colored. There are two features in this Atlas whioh UPC uhll /net. _masa.- wit: large plans of the principal cities in, and a full list of the names and localities of post offices throughout, the United States. It is needless to state the advantages to be derived from the study of geOgraphy and the necessity of correct data, to aid us in acquiring such knowledge. They are patent to every school boy. This work, with the "aid of Mitchell's unrivalled Geography, offers all the necessary facilities for such study; and although too large for the satchel of youth, it is the very thing to have at home to refer to at any time, and in time to came. The plates upon which these maps are en graved are entirely new, having been prepared expressly for this work. The Culmination of Abolitionism. The cause of our present unhappy national troubles, says the : Journal of Commerce, and the almost certain overthrow of our national tloT ernment, may be found in the culmination of the Abolition doctrines first brought to public notice a third of a century ago, and from that day to this, urged in season and out of season, upon the public attention, through the agency of the press, the pulpit, the Sabbath school, weekday schools, and every other mode . which the ingenuity of man could devise. Dangerous as were those doctrines in their inception, and mischievous as has always been their influence upon the public mind, it was only when they were seized upon by a great political party, as an aid to the achievement of success and the acquisition of power, that they were capable of doing their perfect work, in the sundering of ties which have long held the Union together, and in producing its dissolution. It is easy for the Republican leaders—for the President elect and his political associates—to deny that the party which triumphed in the late election is an Abolition party ; but it is susceptible of the clearest demonstration, that if it is not based upon the identical principles which Garrison and his fellow-laborers advoca ted at the outset, it has espoused enough of those doctrines to embody .all the antipathy to slavery among the people of the North, and to secure the votes {with very Insignificant excep tions) of the whole Abolition element in North ern society. To do this and still steer clear of the odium of Garrison Abolitionism was a delicate feature in the tactics of the Republican party; but the result proves that there were not lacking political leaders equal to the emer gency, end that their work has been executed with consummate skill and sagacity. But this fact by no means does away with the essential eireunnitanee that it is to the oehnination of Abolitionism, through the political agency of the party which has elevated Mr. Lincoln to power, that we are indebted for our present national calamities, The evils likely to result from the dissemi nation of Abolition sentiments, were foreseen and foretold by the statesmen of a quarter of ti century ago, with almost unerring precision. Henry Clay, as long ago as 1839, on occasion of presenting a petition from the Mayor and ether eitisens of the District of Columbia, Spoke witirgreat feeling:and almost prophetic vision, respecting the mischievOus tendencies of Abo litionism, and appeared to. It A ttirti,ln. _his mind, almost the precise resnitA threugh MIN promise: A Work for Every gamily. the eulmtuation of chose pt Stilential d.)L trineS, we have now attained. In that speech Mr. Clay said !. "The other cause, domestic slavery," happily the sole remaining cause which is likely to dis turb our-harmony, continues to exist. It was this Which* created the greatest obstacle and the most anxious solicitude in the deliberations of the:Convention that adopted the general Constitution. And it is this subject that-has ever been regarded with the deepest anxiety by all who are sincerely deeireue for the per- Menem.; of our Union. The father of his country. iii his last affecting and solemn appeal to his fellow-citizens, deprecated as a most calamitous event, the geographie c al ,division it might produce. The Convention wisely left the several States the power over the institution of slavery, as a power not necessary to the plan of Union which it desired, and as one with which the General Government could not be invested without planting the seeds of certain destruction. There let it remain undisturbed by any unhallowed hand. I am not in the habit of speaking lightly of the possibility of dissolving this happy Union. The Senate knows that I have depre cated allusions, on ordinary occasions, to that direful event. The country will testify that, if there be anything in my public career worthy of recoll,ction, it is the truth and sincerity or my ardent devotion to its lasting preservation. But wfo should be Wee in our allegiance to it, if we did not discriminate between the imagi nary and real dangers by which it may be as sailed. Abolition should no longer be regarded as an imaginary danger. The Abolitionists, let me suppose, succeed in their present aim of uniting the inhabitants of the free States as one man, against the inhabitants of the slave States. Union on the one side will beget Union on the other. And this process of reciprocal consolidation will be attended with all the vio lent prejudices, embittered passions and im placable animosities which ever degraded or deformed human nature, A, virtual dissolution will have taken place, whilst the forms of its existence remain. The most valuable element of Union, mutual kindness, the feelings of sym pathy, the fraternal bonds, which now happily unite us, will have been extinguished forever. One section will stand in menacing and hostile array against the other. The collision of opinion will be quickly , followed by the clash of arms. I will not attempt to describe the scenes which now happily lie concealed 'from our view. Abolitionists themselves would shrink back in dismay and horror at the con templation• . of desolated fields, confiagrated cities, murdered inhabitants, and the overthrow of the fairest fabric of human government, that ever rose to animate the hopes of civilized man. Nor should these Abolitionists flatter themselves that, if they can succeed in uniting the people of •the free States, they will- enter the contest with a numerical superiority that must ensure victory. All history, and experience proves the hazard .and uncertainty of war. And we are admonished by holy writ that the race is not to the swift, nor the. battle to the strong. But if they were to conquer, whom would they con quer? A foreign foe—one who had insulted our flag, invaded our AMMO, and laid our country waste? No, sir; no, sir. It would be a conquest without laurels—without glory -r-a self, suicidal conquest—a conquest of bro thers over brothers—achieved by one over another portion of descendants 'of common an cestors, who, nobly pledging their lives, for tunes and sacred honor, had fought and bled, side by side, in many a hard battle on land and ocean, severed our country from the British Crown, and established Our national indepen dence." ' Ominous and portentous words !—Are they not at this moment on the point of being real ized ? We are at the present time on the threshold of that conflict , which Mr. Clay so clearly. 'and prophetically predicted as the re sult of the general preyalence of Abolition sentiments at the North ; and , well may we ttscrlifere -pircen quer ?" The men who, haying .sufficiently Abolitionized one section of the Union to bring the country to this extremity, are now clamor- ous for the conflict of brothers with brothers, may well, in the expreSSiVe language of Mr. Clay, "be admonished by holy writ that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong." We now stand on the Vero of the precipice which was pointed out by the statesmen of former days, as sure to be encountered should the spirit of Abolitionism make serious-pro gress in this country. It traveled on slowly at first, but gathering volume and strength from the fanatics and , uneasy spirits who are its natural food, until it became an element of power in political strife, when it was seized upon by the Republican party, and made to do • its dreadful work of . destruction . to the .4 fairest fabric of hugtan ginernment,that ever rose to animate the hopes of • civilized man." We do not wonder that those foremost in the work, recoil with horror from the brink of the awful precipice over which they are now com pelled to look. For the Patriot and union. THE PIIILIPSBUR6 LUMBER REalo,N; Twenty miles north-west of Tyrone is located the thriving town of Philipsburg. Situated as itis at the western base of the Allegheny mountains in the midst of the , bituntinOtlS Goal and lumber re gion, its business importance mainly depends upon these two great staples of Pennsylvania produc tions. A ride of an hour down the mountain with tie thermometer at zero, on a moonlight night, behind a charger who rushed ahead with a bound ing trot, in a sleigh light and elegantly made, which ran emoothly OM the well-trodden snow, brought us to comfortable and spacious apartments in this business-like town, soon to grow to greater importance, as the terminus of the Tyrone and Clearfield railroad; which will form another bind ing link between the valleys of the east and the west aide of the Allegheny mountains. The 1110alitY of the town is well ehosen', yet It has but little to admire other than the business as peot of the place. The neat spire of the Episcopal church and the few fine mansions on the outskirts of the village, with wood-lend and lawn, will at tract attention without exciting any great degree of admiration. But the tall and tapering pine trees, those monarchs of the forests which cover the mountain's tide, the banks of the streams, and the hills far beyond, are especially' attractive to not only the lover of nature in her wildest garb, but to the man who has an eye to business and gain they have an especial interest; and however much we may admire the wildest and most picturesque scenes, yet we must confess when we look at these vast forests of pine trees, - we feel very much like the tailor, who, on his firist view of Niagara, ex olaimed—"What a place to sponge a coat!" To out these lofty trees down and prepare them for market affords employment to a large number of workmen in this immediate neighborhood; and with a View of examining the modzie operandi, and the habits of these hardy sons of toil, determined PiS to make a visit to some of the lumber establieh r me pt e _ en the Moshannon and Clearfield creeps; 'and my visit, though .brief, has, been filled with many pleasant incidents, which will be remembered in after years as the Won pleamq of my life—as well as a time well spent, wbich *sibounded with much instruetien of things which hefore I was en tirely ignoraut • -f • • The brosinsmunpiot rerks apWiElt" in not over two dales frum the Yet'when you-are . :•-'! 1 at that camp, you are surrounded with a jungle of laurel almost as impenetrable as those of India, where the rankest growth of a tropical climate mikes a neelnded and safe retreat for the wildest and most L feroeioua animals, as the laurel jungles hire afford shelter for deer innumerable, and aim , 'lousily for panther and woltee, some of which'ate killed in the neighborhood every season. :'We found• the camp in the midst of this wild forest , built of rough logs, about forty feet in length and twenty-five in breadth, the crivicee closely packed with moss So' as to render the interior close and warm. - The building is covered with unshaven tiles split out of the Wood, lapping over each other, and held firmly to their places by cross logs extend ing over them from - one end of the 'building to the other. The exterior has not a very inviting ap pearance, but the interior has a degiee'of comfort which you would scarce expect to find in a logging camp. Let us enter the building. In the centres huge fire is built of wood, upon iron doge, six or eight feet in length, and as fuel is very abundant, the amount used is in no way stinted, but piled up to a great height which diffuses a genial warmth throughout the whole building; and which at night, with the addition of a foie pine knots, see` es to light up with a brilliant light, on all sides; as there is no chimney place to confine it, the smoke escaping through a smoke hole in the roof,usually about five feet in length by four in breadth, which, with a little ingenuity in its. construction, has an excellent draft , as well as affording a capital ven- tilator, insuring the-constant escape of what would otherwise be 'a finted atmosphere.. On two sides of this retiring and'erackling fire a flattened log is placed at a suitable. distance from the ground, which is dignified with the name of the cfdeaoon's seat," and behind which, composed of small twigs of hemlock., is the rude bedding of these toiling men, some ten or twelve occupying one bed, cov ered with one immense cover, under which they are packed spook-fashion, with tide feet turned to the fire. With the exception of tight packing, I can assure you, Nil MY Own experience,. with the sweet odor of the hemlock, which has a sooth ing effect on the senses, this affords 'a comfortable place for a good night's sleep, without the necessity of dressing and undressing, ae each ono, argil% himself down in the elOthes- worn during the,day.

After the logs are scored or measured, they are dragged, to the creek by stout teams, some five or six attached together by means of iron grabs, each log being carefully branded with the owner's name.
