IN the :Senate _yesterday resolutions were
passed enabling the Governor to appoint seven
Commissioners to represent Pennsylvania in
the Convention to be held at Washington, on
the 41,h of ;February, at the suggestion of Vir
ginia. These resolutions. which were reported
from the<bernmittee on Federal Relations, seem
to hare been passed with the special - view of
preventing any good rentlt from the conference.
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. We might
as well not be.represented at all.; and we doubt
wheteerullev. CIJILTIM can ;induce men of char
acter and standing to accept the position under
such conditions.
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

respecting the mischievOus tendencies of Abo

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

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%

Nine o'clock is the hour for retiring, and rigidly

After the logs are scored or measured, they are
