Mr. HOPKINS (Wash.) made a motion, the hour of one having arrived, that when this House adjourns it will adjourn to meet at half past two r. e., and remain in session until five P. is. Subsequently he modified his motion so as to read, "and that this House remain in session until the question now pending shall be decided." This motion was adopted. LEBANON OBE NINES An invitation was received, signed by the treasurer of the Lebanon Valley railroad, and Chas. E. Smith, Esq., President of the Reading railroad, inviting the members of the Senate and House of Representatives to visit the Le banon ore mines on Thursday afternoon next. The train will leave Harrisburg at 2.15—a special train for the occasion. Adjourned. AFTERNOON SESSION. lir. LUDLOW spoim in opposition to any restoration of the tax. There was no reason why one railroad should be so burdened, and others should be allowed to go free. The Pennsylvania railroad had done much for the Common - wealth. Apart from the bad policy of re-imposing such a tax• upon trade, was the unconstitutionality of the proposed legislation. It was necessary to keep distinct and separate the legislative, judicial and executive branches of the government, and the violation of a sol emn contract by the legislative branch would only be a stab at the institutions of the coun try. There were allegations of bribery ; and Oren now this cry was going forth. Whatever might have happened in 1861, he could only say now, that the man who thus cast a slur at members behind their backs, and without evi dence, was unworthy of the name of a man. Mr. VINCENT said that it is now admitted that the act of 1861 was perfectly constitu tional, and was, moreover, a contract. Con ceding these points, the opposition claimed that it was the right of the Legislature to re impose the tax. He proceeded to show that thin claim was fallacious. The State had origintily reserved the power to impose a tax upon this corporation, but" the reservation had been destroyed by the act of 1861, and the Com monwealth had now no right to make a re—imposition. He continued at lengtht to show the injustice, both to certain classes of people and to the company, which would result from the legislation as proposed. He touched Upon the question of fraud as connec ted with past Legislatures, and disclaimed the thousand rumors and innuendoes which origi nated with irresponsible parties. They were alike unjust to the Legislature and injurious to the credit of the Commonwealth. He demon slanted that it was a wise policy which gave away the public works, and that the State would still have been a gainer, even if she had also given away tae tonnage tax. Mr. SADIE insisted that the Legislature was competent to repeal any act when it became apparent that its provisions were injurious to thipeople. He cited the case of the Erie and North. East railroad, and the decisions of the Supreme Court upon that question, in proof of his assertion. Admitting that the set of 1861 was a contract, the Legislature still had a right to repeal it, and fix the damages. Bat that act was no such contract. He reviewed the amendment imposing a general tax on all rail -roads, and said sarcastically that if three cents per Ton was to be charged without regard to distance, there would be no need of any. ad ditional revenue laws this session. Mr.,SMITH (Chester) discussed the legal in ability of the Legislature to impair an, char ter or contract, without reference being had to a judicial tribunal. Mr. HOPKINS said that the original act transferring the State canals was a great wrong. Those canals for seven years had paid MeV'e tretunry of the Commonwealth an an nual net revenue of over $400,000. All this was • given for a simple promise to pay $3,500,000, and this very promise was soon after wiped out for the benefit of other credi tors. The Legislature gave the Pennsylvania railroad company $BOO,OOO for the privilege of releasing the tonnage tar. which was a source of revenue. There was reason to believe that this very $BOO,OOO was used by the Pennsylva nia railroad company to influence members to vote for the commutation He continued at length reviewing the history of the passage of the commutation act, and thoroughly canvassing the subject. After a session of five hoursin length, spent in debate and parliamentary motions, a bill was adopted taxing all the railroads in the Elate on_their tonnage, and also on their capi tal stook when dividends are. declared exceed ing a certain amount. -% Adjourned.

Their name is legion. There has not been anything in the political editorials of that infamous sheet for weeks, we might say for months, perhaps with strict veracity for years, but misrepresentation, falsehood and calumny. it seems to shun the truth as a mad dog is said to shun water; falsehood is its element, ca lumny the atmosphere it delights in breathing. The salamander lives in fire; the Telegraph is an amphibious monster, and lives in lie. For a full account of its habits, see the speech of Mr. Representative Rex, on our first page. THE little Abolition Dispatch, Pittsburg, seems to be seriously offended at this paper for maintaining that the people have rights under the Constitution, and more than intimates to Uncle Abraham and hie War Minister, Stanton, that our imprisonment would afford it pleasure. Accept our profound acknowledgments, Mr. Dispatch, and permit tie to Observe, (sub reas,- that you would.be more likely to succeed in your proper line of duty, recruiting negroes for Gov. Andrew, whose "swarms" are not yet quite full. You have not done well—onit fourteen darkies from your department so far you have been a laggard, and the adminis tration is displeased with you. Be more in T dustrious—get up a full battalion, as you ought to do—put yourself at their head—march them to Massachusetts or Washington ; then you may be listened to, and your prayer granted. More Abolition Frauds. Fraud follows fraud in such rapid succession, since the accession of the- Abolitionists to power, that we are compelled to believe the whole administration, in all its departments, a stupendouslraud—a fraud without parallel in the history of mankind, from the creation of Adam to the inauguration. of Abraham. The country groans under an enormous debt—abo-` litiola fraud is at the bottom of it.• The war stagnates; the soldiers culfer; incompetence is everywhere. . All the result of fraud, in trigue, imbecility and corruption. All is rot tenness—the taint of decay• has touched the whole body—it is one vast putrefying sore.— Here is the latest revelation. A Washington dispatch to the New York papers says : “Important revelations disclose the custom house and other frauds among federal officials to be so open and flagrant as to compel the Secretary of the Treasury to , remove every one of them implicated from office, with the Presi dent's sanction." New Hampshire Election. The returns from . New Hampshire make it pretty sertam that there has been no election of Governor by the people. In regard to mem bers of bongrees, the impression prevails that the three Abolition candidates have been elect ed, though there is some doubt expressed-as to the result in the First district, where the vote appears to be very close. The three candi dates, who ran for Governor, amlra A. East man, Democrat, Joseph A. Gilmore, Abolition ist, and Col. Walter Harriman; who was sup ported by a small faction callitag themselves Union War Democrats. The returns as far as. received to the time we - write this, from about one hundred and seventy-five towns, foot up thus : For Eastman, Dena., 25,772 ; for Gil more, Ab., 24,881; for Harriman, U. W. Dem., ;up. It requires a majority of all the votes cast to elect. Up to this time we have not re ceived the Congressional vote, but only a gen eral statement that it is close, but favorable to the Abolitionists. Union Leagues. Let no man loyal to the Constitution and the Ilnion be deceived into joining any of these traitorous and unholy organizations. There IS not, among all the prominent men engaged in getting them up, a single one in favor of the Union as it' existed under the Constitution; not one of them can, without uttering a delib erate falsehood, declare that .he is. It is a fraudulent attempt to ensnare the unwary into an association composed of public plunderers, mercenary politicians and fanatic Abolitionists —traitors who " spit upon the Constitution," and spurn the Union. The organization is a lie upon its faoe--for, whereas its ostensible pur pose is to rally together under the sacred name of Union all who are in favor of the Union, its real purpose is to, Organise and arm secret bands who are prepared to sustain the administration in all its despotic efforts to subvert the Constitution; who believe with Garrison that it is " a league w ith hell and a covenant with death ;" and who concur with Thaddeus Stevens that the restoration stag Union under the. Constitution is an absurdity, and who, with him, have determined that it issuer shalt be restored, with their consent. The League is a treasonable association ; its elements revo lutionary—its object the subversion of the government as it exists under the Constitution. Habeas Corpus—the Effect of its Sus• pension. Congress, whether constitutionally or not, having conferred on the President authority to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, the in quiry naturally suggests itself to every intelli gent mind, "What will be the effect of suspen sion 4" The New York World makes some remarks upon the subject which strike us as being sound, though not being profound in the law, we shall not assume that they are incontro vertible, or advise any one to adopt and act upon the main suggestion—the right of self defense against arrest , g without due process of law"—although, the statements being true and the argument logically correct, the corol lory naturally, legally and inevitably follows. The World discards all analogies drawn from the legal effect of a suspension by the British Parliament, because, by the theory of the En glish Government, Parliament is omnipotent, whereas the power of Congress and the Presi dent is restricted by a written Constitution, which does 'not, in any case, permit arbitrary arrests. In England, or in this country, before any person can be sent to prison, a warrant stating the charge on which the arrest is to be made, on the oath of the person at whose instance it is to be made, must be issued by a magistrate or juste. The distinction between England and this country is that, in the former Parlia ment has the power to repeal or `suspend the law requiring the issuing of a warrant by a magistrate or judge, while in this country the Constitution prohibits Congress from even dis pensing with these forms. In times of rebel lion or invasion CongresB can Withhold from the prisoner the privilege of being brought on habeas corpus before a judge, who could dis charge him or let him out of prison on bails but it has no power to authorize arrests, except on charges sworn to before a magistrate, who, on these sworn charges issues his warrant and acquaints the prisoner with the nature of the accusation. Hence, the World , concludes, "whether the writ of habeas corpus is suspended or not, a person arrested without a warrant has a right to resist and ff he kills the pretended (10- cer, the law will regard it as a justifiable homi cide, and an upright judge would instruct a jury to acquit him." The World then proceeds : Of whafAihe then, it may be asked, is the power to suspend the writ which is clearly im plied in the Constitution ? Its only effect , is to prevent the release on bail of dangerous persons who,have been legally arrested on sworn char ges: And this is, in fact, all that'the safety of the eowitry can ever in any ease require.. The arrest and - detention of innocent persons can never be necessary to the public safety ; and where there are reasonable grounds of suspi cion, these grounds can always be sworn to .before a magistrate and the order for commit ment be issued in regular form. We repeat, the only legal effect of the suspension of the habeas corpus is to prevent dangerous persons, arrested by due process of law, from being set at large on bail. It leaves the necessity for sworn charges and a judicial warrant, previous to the original imprisonment, unimpaired and in full force. The proofs of this 'are clear and incontro vertible. They are contained in the amend ments, or,as they are usually called, the amen ded articles of the Constitution. These amend ments, made immediately after the adoption of the Constitution, were intended as restrictions On the powers granted in the body of the instrument, or in; the language of one of the several State conventions that recontnielided them, they were "calculated to preserve ` public, liberty by those checks on power which the experience of.ages has rendered venerable."— The power to suspend the:habeas wpm is con tained in the body of the instrument, and must operate under all the restraints contained in the amendments. An aniendatent to a consti tution, like an amendment to a statute, annuls all the original provisions which are inconsist ent :with itself. By English practice the suspension of the habeas corpus dispenses with the, necessity of ajudicial warrant as authority for arrests. Our wise and jealous forefathers, while conferring the power to suspend the writ in certain specified cases, took care to so re strain it by immediate amendments as to render the liberty of the citizen inviolable, in all ca ses, without the established legal fo'rinalities. "The right of the people," says the third amendment, "to be secure in their persons against unreasonable seizures shall not be vio lated, and no warrant shall Wine except upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirma tion, and particularly deiteiihijig the persons to be seized." In the fifth 'amendment again it is stated, in positive and absolute terms, that "no person shall be deprived of liberty without due process of law.' The meaning of this phrase is well understood, and was never better or more truly defined thanit was several years ago b,y Mr. Seward, in these words - : “Due process of law is a writ or war rant issued by a magistrate upon propable cause,' supported by oath or affirmation ' deseri bing the person to be seized"—which has the advantage of giving the established and uni• vernally recognized meaning 'of the. phrase in the very words of the Constitution. The power to suspend the writ of habeas corpus cannot 'T artan these absolute and unconditional prohi bitions, bat is restrained by thom, and nn*st be exercised in consistency with their full vigor and vitality. It is Clear, therefore, •that the suspension of the writ gives the President no other or greater power of arrest thin he has iii ordinary and peaceful times. Another Victim Demanded. Insatiate archer! would not one antß.ce ? Thy abaft 'flew thrice, and thrice— The gallant patriots at whom it was aimed fell.

Well, we shall see what the President will do. He will hardly resist the demand made upon him, and thereby incur the odium of standing «a,traitor to liberty and a liar before the American people," as Charles fiumner's Mas sachusetts organ beautifully expreseee it. Gen. Banks must be decapitated, the_Abolition Cannibals must hold their devilish orgies over his dead body, or the "imbecile" "mud. turtle," who presides over the destinies of the nation at Washington, may preparci himself for crucifixion. Read the following from the Bos ton Commonwealth. 0! Abraham the First! read the mandate of Charles Sumner, and obey, or tremble for the wrath to come : LEGIREE BANKS.—If the next steamer that goes to New Orleans does not take out an order cashiering Banks, after his execrable procla mation, which shows that he is but a born slave-driver, and which flouts the President and• countermands his plain order that our soldiers shall assist the negroes to , maintain their freedom, it will show the President to• be a traitor to liberty and a liar before the Ameri can people. Let the friends of freedom now watch the administration jealously. It has modified Fremont and Hunter; it has since made a show of emancipation ; its reality has been doubted; Gen. Banks issues an order which renders it null and void to all the freed slaves of Louisiana—forbidding Me soldiers to encourage slaves to secure their freedom, and arranging for coercing the slaves to remain on plantations at work. If the President's pro clamation was not a sham we shall know it. The rebels have set a high price on Butler's head; if they will only take Banks' head for nothing we should thank them: It is not much, to be sure, but such as it is they lire welcome to it. . Johnstown Democrat. This is the narw of a new, beautifully printed, and ably conducted paper—if we may judge by the first number—published in Johns town, Cambria entity, and edited by James F.

The President has issued a proclamation in reference to all soldiers enlisted or drafted into the service of the united States now absent without leave. They are ordered to forthwith return to their respective regiments.- Those who returnon or before the Ist of April, 1863, and report themselves at any rendezvous desig nated by General Order No. 58, of the War Department, may be restored to their respect ive regiments without punishment other than forfeiture of pay and allowance during their absence; those who do not return within that time "shall be arrested as deserters and pun ished as the law provides." All " patriotic and faithful citizens" are called On "to oppose and, resist" the efforts of " evil disposed disloyal persons " to "entice and procure soldiers to desert and absent themselves from their regi ments," and to " aid in restoring to their regi ments all soldiers absent without leave, and to assist in the execution of the act of Congress for " enrolling and calling out the national forces, and for other purposes," and . to support the proper authorities in the proieeution and punishment of offenders . against said act, and in suppressing the insurrection and rebellion." On the subject of enforcing the " enrolling," otherwise called the Conscription act, the Presi dent may rest easy ; the Telegraph says that is the special business of the Union-Leagues, and as Postmaster Bergner is arittetive member, he will see that no conscript escapes or dodges. That part is all right—as to the rest, we advise all enlisted or drafted men absent without leave to report in time, and we warn all " evil dis posed persons" to desist from aiding and en couraging desertion. On Tuesday the Prince of Wales, Albert Edward—the young heir to the throne of England—who visited our Capital a few years ago, was married to the Princeis Alexandria, of Denmark. Of course all England rejoiced.

Washington of a great disaster to our troops by the return of the rebels in force to the •Velky of- Virginia, is contradicted by a Harper's Ferry dispatch of -the 10th. Our force in the valley is Strong, commanded by Gen. Kelley, who is prepared to meet anything less than the Whole rebel force at Fredericksburg. So the dispatch says. Col. Dodge at the head of his cavalry has made a successful reconnoissance out from Norfolk.

The Democracy in Council— They have a Great Work to Perform—The Coming Man—The Spring Elections— The BLit Birds—Marn Sttiai—The Month of March —Two Years Ago—Prospect and Retrospect. The people in the interior of the State are in daily consultation as to the course they ought to take, in view of the peculiar circum stances of themselves and their country. They are watching the newspapers, and are judging of the direction of events, as much from what is not said as from what is said. It is yet too early to even guess to what conclusions the masses will come upon the question, as to what course shall be adopted and pursued 'to bring about a reconciliation - of the people and a re- , storatien of the Union ; but when the purposes of Lincolrehave a little more fully developed themselves i according to their direction they will be seconded or met. Many yet believe, or affect to believe, that, relieved from the pressure of his radical Congress, and it going out of power, he will listen to toward and Weed, and more moderate councils will prevail, as they are supposed to be of that persuasion. They are looking to you for indications of the falling or rising tide. The people have a stupendous work on their hands. it is nothing less than, by strict and true constitutional means, to restore this go vernment to a constitutional basis. The Con gress has most undoubtedly violated it, in let ter and spirit, in almost every bill passed at each of its three sessions. The people know that as well as the most astute lawyer, and they are now waiting to see if Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet intend to govern, for two years, in the spirit of the usurped powers proposed to be given to them by the Congress, or whether they will confine themselves within their pro per constitutional spheres. In disseminating the .proper information, you can be of vast service. It requires only that the people should know what is done by the "powers that be," in order to secure prompt and efficient action by the "powers that are to be." The people are quiet now, because they have con fidence in their own powers and resources ; and because, moreover, and principally, they know that a thorough and constitutional re form can be had at the ballot-box. It is to that they are looking, and in that they are trusting, to cure all the political ills to which the state and nation is heir. That trust and confidence they know and feel, however, after all, depends greatly on the man into whose hands shall be given the helm of ;he ship of State, If into weak and/ in• competent keeping, Men all is loot. Oh ! that you politicians, in and about Harrisburg, would see to it that no jobbing is tolerated in the coming nomination for Governor. Give us a sound and tried man—give us one who loves our institutions in his very soul—who reve rences the Constitution and who believes in the Union—who has the judgment to see and the firmness to do his whole duty. One who knows the history of Pennsylvania and appre ciates her vast resources, who knows that She existed as a sovereign and independent State at least as far !melt as 1774, and as such helped to form the Union now broken, and the Con stitution now'disgraced' and trampled upon. One who has a knowledge of_ the - number 6f square miles within her, herders, her immense mineral resources, and her overflowing agri cultural abundance. Above all, give us a man of energy and decision, whose instincts are right, and who has a firm and abiding faith in the virtue, intelligence and patriotism df our citizens. . Such a man will not be likely to belittle the State, misdirect her policy; or impede her pro- Riess. To such a man, placed on a constitu tional, law-abiding platform, the people will give an overwhelming majority. The spring elections in the States north and east of us give augury of coming results in our favor. Among the people the signs are hoftefnl, and the government should take warning and con form itself to constitutional rule. Patience Great Heaven I grant us patience and feast us upon hope—as for charity, we, can have none for the destroyers of our country. Nature, kind mother, is ever the same. The warm sun, every few days, comes out, and a solitary blue bird gives earnest of spring—the chirp of a robin makes the heart dance; and they all prove that the seasons; in obedience to the Great Ruler, shall not cease in their . courses, however nudeser*ing we may be. Come, little bird, once more to your box, and may yon unmolested sing your song and rear your, young. Can we do the same ? The sun has loosened the sap - from the fro zen roots, and preparations are being made to manufacture maple sugar. In, the country it alone is used for sweetening, and if the season is propitious, vast quantities will be manufac tured.in all the States. It is higher here than I kave ever known it, and is not likely to re cede: You can go home andget some, Harry; they make it there to perfection. The month of March, so far, has been mild and gentle; if we except:the first tWenty-four hours, during which it snowed, and blewed, and froze, and thawed, and .frowned, and smiled ; a correct indication of its course. We'; were at peace two years ago—will we be two years hence ? I trust so. Then we shall see. at Washington, a etnistitutiofially elected. Democratic'President, and we shall once more live, under the law—we shall hold our pro perty and our lift) by a secure and certain tenure, not at will; we shall gaze with aaton ishment and hoiror at the four years of Abra ham Lincoln, a complete and truthfulhistory j of whose 'reign can never be written. Oh that it could all be blotted out. Ban Vanua.. It is reported and believed that one of the btinciplea of the Union League is to refrain from all business transactions and intercourse with Democrats.' Now,‘as there are a number of lawyers, merchants, grocers and others be longing to the League, who derive most of their wealth and living from Democratic customers, it is well, that there should be a,clear under standing upon this subject. Therefore, we mail upon the League to define itself upon th is ques tion.
