Not many days can elapse before it is defi
nitely determined whether we are to have peace
or war. Everything indicates the speedy corn:
mencement of hostilities. Perhaps ere this the
soldiers of the Federal and the Southern Govern
ments are engaged in the work of slaughter.
The Southern Commissioners who remained at
Washington under the delusive hope that Fort
Sumpter would be evacuated, have left the
Capital with the conviction that war is inevi
table. Gen. Beauregard has demanded the
sairretider of Port Sumpter by Major Anderson,
and negotiations are reported to have been
opened with reference to its evacuation. One
dispatch mentions a report at. Charleston that
Anderson is about to surrender the Fort—but
it is not credited. No certain intelligence has
been received of the arrival of any portion of
the fleet at Charleston, though their presence
was hourly expected.
What proportion of the men who carried
coal oil lamps, and paraded the streets of our
towns and cities in oil-cloth capes, are pre
pared to shoulder their muskets and fight
against the South? What number of the huge
army of office hunters, who lately overrun
Washington, clamoring for crumbs of govern
ment patronage, and returned home disap
pointed, will volunteer for this war? How
many that did get office will there be to go ?
Will the editors who incite others to the con
flict, and boast of their valor, shoulder their
muskets and fill up the ranks ?—not as officers
—for there are always too many willing to serve
their country in that capacity—but as private
soldiers. If war does come, it will be curious
to note what proportion of those who are now
laboring to inflame the public mind for the
conflict, and bellowing lustily for- fight, will
expose their precious persons. In reference to
the defence of the Capital., a correspondent
salsa
" To this end, su3h of our citizen soldiery
as will take an oath to obey the orders of the
President, are being put on a military footing,
save gentlemen in the Departments, who are
exempted at the instance of Secretaries. Thus
now, as ever, military service falls on laboring
and business men, rather than upon politicians,
and reverses the couplet—
Let those who make the fighting
Be the only ones to fight?,
A Double-Faced Policy.
The common argument used by the support
ers of the war policy of the Administration is,
that the duty of holding theforts and enforcing
the laws is an imperative obligation which
cannot be shirked, and that this obligation
must be rigidly lived up to, no matter what the
consequences may be. Let. us examine this
position. The federal Administration started
out with the idea that the Union was unbroken,
that secession was not a fact, and that the laws
were to be enforced in all the 'States as if no
unusual events to disturb the harmony of gov
ernment had transpired. If this view is a cor
rect one, and if it imposes upon the Adminis
tration the dreadful necessity of holding pos
session of Forts Sumpter and Pickens at the
cost of civil conflict, then it equally requires
the Administration to re-take Fort Moultrit3,
together with all the arsenals, fortifications,
Custom Houses and otherpublic property seized
and now occupied by the authorities of the
seceded States. In addition to this, it imposes
upon the Administration the duty of crushing
every phase of opposition to its authority; .of
collecting . the revenue in the ports of the
Southern Confederacy; of appointing judges
of the federal courts and compelling obedience
to their decrees and enforcing their processes,
and of executing all the various functions of
the Federal Government within those States
precisely as they are executed in the loyal
States. It is absolutely necessary that all this
should be accomplished in order to carry out
the idea of an unbroken Union. And yet as
far as the immediate purpose of the Adminis
tration is developed, it contemplates nothing
more at the present time than the provisioning
of Fort Sumpter and the re-inforcement of
Fort Pickens—at least such is the representa
tions of its friends. To avoid the Charge of
aggression or coercion, they affirm that the
armament dispatched to the South is not for
the purpose of making an attack, but merely
to rescue a faithful garrison from starvation ;
and that war will not commence unless the
Southern forces fire the first gun. But it is
said to be a point of honor to retain possession
of Sumpter, because its evacuation would in
volve a recognition of the Southern Confederacy.
Now, if it would be a recognition of the South
'ert/ government to abandon Fort Sumpter, why
Wit not such a recognition to allow Fort Moul
trie and other federal property to remain in the
hands of parties that seized them? Does not
the same law of necessity which permits the
present occurlitnts of Fort Moultrie to retain it
without an effort to dislodge them, also require
the abandonment of Fort Sumpter ? It is al
leged that the Administration will not commence
the attack ; and that if they are permitted to
provision Sumpter -without resistance, they will
not attempt to re-take Fort Moultrie. - Would
this not be as much a recognition of the South
ern government, as the entire abandonment of
Sumpter ? In other
. words, if the Southern
government is not recognized by permitting it
to hold peaceable possession of property which
it took by violence, how can it be recognized
by the voluntary abandonment of a fort which
it would cost more than it is worth to hold ?
The Administration cannot carry out its idea
of an unbroken Union without using force
against the seceded States. The policy of
giving up what has already been taken, and
holding fast to what is in possession of the
Government, is no policy, at all—lnit, only a
temporary expodisnt It recognizes the South
ern Government in part and denies its existence
in part. If the Administration intends to hold
the forts, and re-capture those already taken,
let it say so, and take the responsibility of
commencing the war. This artful finesse to
throw the responSibility of the commencement
of hostilities upon other shoulders is un
worthy of any Government. If war is to be
initiated, war should be proclaimed—but if
peace is desired, measures should be taken to
secure peace. To pretend peace and mean
war is both base and disingenuous.

SINGULAR AFFIDAVIT OF GOVERNOR KOSSUTH.
—He still claims to be Governor of Hungary, and
Defies Francis Joseph.—The following are ex
tracts from. the long affidavit filed in the British
Court of Chancery by Governor Kossuth, in
answer to the complaint of the Emperor of
Austria " and King of Hungary," in the mat
ter of the Hungarian banknotes recently manu
factured in London. Kossuth still claims to be
Governor of Hungary, and denies the right of
Francis Joseph to the title of King of Hungary.
The opening sections of his affidavit read as
follows : •
"1. I am by birth a Hungarian noble, of the
county of Zemplen, in the kingdom of Hun
gary. When Ferdinand V., formerly King of
Hungary, ceased to be Xing of Hungary, and
the throne was thereby vacant, I was, by the
lawfully summoned and duly constituted estates
of Hungary, consisting of both houses in Na
tional Diet assembled, on the 14th day of April,
1849, appointed and named to be Governor-
President until the Diet should have adopted
a permanent settlement far the government of
the kingdom ; on the 19th day of April I took,
in the presence of the said Diet, in the Great
Reformed church at Debreczen, the solemn
oath appointed by the Diet to be taken by me
as such Governor-President, and then swore
that I would he true and faithful to the author
ity and functions that had been vested in me,
by the snid Diet. The said appointment and
nomination, and the authority and functions
tiiereby vested in me, have never been revoked
or:superseded ; nor has any other appointment
or nomination been since made; nor has any
person, ever since Ferdinand V. ceased to be
King of Hungary. been called to fill the throne
of Hungary, or been accepted or crowned as
King df Hungary, by the said estates of
Hungary, to whom alone the power belongs by
the fundamental laws of Hungary, to do any
of these acts.
"2. The plaintiff in this suit is not and
never haS been King of Hungary, either dejure
or de facto. He is not King of Hungary, cZe jure,
inasmuch as the succession to the throne of
Hungary is a matter of strict settlement under
the fundamental laws of Hungary ; and the
claim to that succession can only arise after
the death of the last King. But the last King,
Ferdinand V. still lives. Moreover, in con
formity with the second article of the act of the
Diet of 1723, by which alone the present House
of Hapsburg-Lorraine was accepted by the
estates of Hungary as having, under the con
ditions therein named, a lawful and thereby
established order of succession to the throne of
Ifungary, the right of succession can only de
volve on the next heir of the last King. But
the recent Emperor of Austria is not the next
heir of Ferdinand V. the last King of Hungary,
were not that King himself, as in fact he is,
still living. The plaintiff is not King of Hun
gary de facto, inasmuch as, by the fundamen
tal laws of Hungary, which all the fourteen
Kings of Hungary have successively sworn
shall be observed, in every point and article,
by .themselves and their successors, no one can
be King df facto unless and until he has been
lawfully crowned as King within the kingdom
of Hungary ; and he must be thus crowned
within six months after the day of the death of
a deceased King.. And it is particularly de
clared, by the said fundamental laws of Hun
gary. that all the nobles of the Kingdom are
members of the sacred crown of Hungary, and
that they are subject to no one except to a law
fully crowned King."
Kaxsi,s SBNATORS.—The Topeka correspon
dent of the Leavenworth Herald charges that
the election of Lane and Pomeroy was obtained
by fraudulent and dishonorable practices. Two
such men as Lane and Pomeroy could have
been sent to the United Stal'es Senate from no
other community than Kansas, unless we except
Botany Bay or the• Penitentiary. Lane is a
ruffian and a murderer. The Leavenworth
Herald tells, as follows, what its opinion of his
pal is:
The announcement we are about to make is
not designed for the possessors of weak sto
machs. Pomeroy—the Prince of Thieves and
the King of Beggars, has been elected to the
United States Senate to represent the State of
Kansas.. Shall we attribute tbis effect to the
moral depravity of our people? God forbid!!
Shall we say it is to be accounted for by the
combination of forces! This may be true, hut
leaves us only to mourn the extent of ini
quity.
Of one thing only we are confident—that the
worst man ever sent to Congress has been
elected by our State, and that he only repre
sents those who voted for hiin. The THIEF,
with his ill-gotten gains—the ROBBER of WI
DOWS and ORPHANS—the IMPOSTER and
the IMBECILE, has been sent by a Kansas
Legislature to sit in the halls t..f Congress with
honorable men.
May God's righteous indigna
tion be averted, and may the world forbear re
garding us in the light of a den of thieves
A LAWYER. CONVICTED OF LARCENY.—We find
the following in the proceedings of the Coda
of Sessions of Philadelphia, on Wednesday,
as reported in the Daily News of that city.
George Hickman, &lawyer. was charged with
the larceny of thirteen volumes of the Law
Library, and three volumes of Madison Papers,
valued at $46 50. the property of the Mercan
tile Library. The accused made a speech,
asking for a postponement of his case. It was
delayed until his counsel came in. Subse
quently the ease was taken up.
Mr. Edwards testified that he was the Libra
rian of the Mercantile Library ; he had no re
collection of having seen the accused in the li
brary; eo many books are taken out that it is
imlposaible to miss them until the date of ar
rest; a number of the books were identified at,
Mr. Campbell's as the property of the library.
Jobn Campbell testified that he had seen the
accused several times, and purchased ten vol
umes of the Law Library and three volumes of
the Madison Papers; he said he got some of
the books from a lawyer; witness thought this
was true, as lawyers frequently sell books; ac
cused seemed to know witness very well, and
said he had frequently seen him in the Doug
las headquarters ; witness detected a stamp
mark in the books when he went to sell them.
Mr. Charles W. Brooke, counsel . for the
prisoner, offered no evidence, but made two
speeches, earnestly pleading for the acquittal
of his client. Verdict, guilty. Sentenced to
six months in the county prison.
ANOTHER SENSATION STORY SPOILED.—The
Northern papers have for a time stopped giving
circulation to stories about the "oppression of
slaveholders," told by pretended fugitive slaves,
who frequently turn out to be swindling free
negroes who never were in a slave State, and
are now disseminating ridiculous yarns in re
gard to alleged "Southern' oppression" of
Northern citizens. , The latest tale of this kind
—that of a man named Turner, hailing from
Manchester, N. H., who gave to the New York
Tribune an account of alleged imprisonment
and ill-treatment at Charleston, S. C., about
the middle of January=—is pronounced by the
Boston Journal, a Republican paper, to be un
mitigated trash, and the much-abused Turner
himself a knave. The Journal says :
44 The records of the Boston Society for the
prevention of pauperism show that a man
giving the same name applied to the secretary,
Mr. Woodward, for assistance, as long ago as
January 5. He told a story somewhat similar
to that in the Tribune, though differing in es
sential particulars. Some of his statements
were ascertained to be false, and he was set
down as an imposter."
THE CLEANEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.—An
English lady has just translated M. J. G.
Kohl's Book of Travels in Canada and some
parts of the United states. It bears marks of
being what he says it is, simply a book of first
impressions ; but it is as agreeable, and in
general as reliable as his books always are,
the most valuable books of travel, perhaps, of
any contemporary author. Here is his com
pliment to us on our neatness :
"The Americans are certainly the cleanest
people in the world, and a traveler who has
not yet convinced himself of the fact may do so
by inspecting one of these steamers. There is
not a place in them which the most elegant
passenger could hesitate to enter : throughout
the drawing-rooms, dining-rooms, sleeping
cabins, he will find everythingin the mostper
feet order and brilliantly clean. The wailing
and bathing rooms, perfumery and hair-dress
ers' shops, (for all these things are to be found
on board,) are as elegant and as well-kept as
in the streets of New York or Boston. They
save the busy passenger much time, and allow
him to attend to many things which his en
grossing occupation may have left him no time
for on shore."
In England, in the year fifteen hundred and
thirty-eight, it was enacted that "no lady or
knight's wife should have more than one velvet
or damask gown for the summer ; that all la
dies should wear russet or camlet three days
in the week, under penalty of ten shillings per
day; and that a surveyor should examine the
ladies' wardrobes." Just fancy such a sur
veyor in these days !

ONLY ONE DOLLAR EACH
10,000 BEAUTIFUL STEEL PLATE ENGRAVING
OF THE LORD'S PRAYER FOR SALE
VALUABLE PR OPERTY GIVEN AWAY!
The idea of representing the LORD'S PRAYER bye:ft
engraving, and of ornamenting and arranging it in suck
a manner as to produce at once a model of neatness and
taste, was conceived and carried out by ORMSBY, the
celebrated Bank-note Engraver of New York city. It
commences with exquisitely executed words of "OUR
FATHER. 7, and then follow in succession the other parts
of the Prayer, every phrase of which is engraved in the
most elegant and tasteful manner. Near the bottoin of
the picture is a superblyexecuted head of OUR SAY lOUB,
and el - ircling the upper part of 1 he engraving are ten
ange; kit each bearing one of the TEN COMMANDMENTS.
The engraving has received the most unqualified praise
from the religious community, as there is nothing of a
sectarian character about it, having been recommended
by clergymen of all denominations. As an ornament it
is one of the most splendid ever pub' fished i n this country,
and is destined to take the place of a poorer class of
engravings. The size, of the plate is 20x28 inches, and
is unquestionably the cheapest engraving ever offered in
this country.
Who that loves Art—who that delights to atudy a fine
engraving—who that would possess a bosun fal Picture
—who that would receive the impressions which such a
work is calculated to impsrt, you'd fail to secure a copy
when the price is only ONE DOLLAR, with the chance of
securing for that sum in addition a permanent home or
another valuable Gift?
As a work of art this valuable and beautiful engraving,
is worth more than the dollar asked fot it, as will readiily
be acknowledged on an inspection of it; but the
subscribers intend to make a Gilt Distribution to
purchasers of the engraving of valuable presents, as
follows
1 House and Lot in York Borough;
2 Building Lots
2 Buggies; Quinn & Palmer's make, warranted ;
1. Rockaway;

1,000 Gilt Frames to Suit Engraving of Lord's Prayer;

Gold and Silver Watches;
All kinds of Jewelry, embracing Cameos. Floren
tines, Mosaic, Gold Stone. &c.
A Gift worth from 50 cents to $500.00 with each En
graving sold,
When the Engravings are all told, a meetin g et the
purchasers will be called at Washington Hall, York, Pa.,
when the Gifts named above will be distributed in such
manner as the purchasers may determine—the purchasers
selecting a committee of disinterested persons to make

whole amount disposed of by the first of July ensuing,

THE LORD'S PRAYER.
We have carefully examined this Engraving, offered
for sale in this community by Messrs. Austin & Wehrly,
and do not hesitate to pronounce it one of the finest
works of American Art we have ever seen. The design
is beautiful, the Style of execution is superior, and the
illustrations are excellent. Its appearance will at once
secure for it the admiration of a refined community, and
recommend it to the Christian public. It is highly or
namental, and is calculated to exert a refining influence
in a family, and an elevating and purifying effect upon
the morals and religion of society, and it should meet,
as we understand it deserves, with a rapid and extensive
sale.
