We have been compelled to raise the club subscription
price to one dollar and fifty cents in order to save our.
selves from actual lose. Paper has risen, Including
taps, about twenty-five per cent., and is still rising;
and when we tell our Democratie friends, candidly, that
we can no longer afford to sell the Weekly PATRIOT AND
UNION at one dollar a year, and must add fifty cents or
stop the publication, we trust they will appreciate oar
position, and, instead of withdrawing their subscrip
tions, go to work with a will to increase our list in every
county in the State. We have endeavored. and shall
continue our efforts, to make thepaper useful as a party
organ, and welcome as a news messenger to every fam
ily. We flatter ourselves that it has nbt been without
some influence in producing the glorious revolution in
the politics of the State achieved at the late election;
and if fearlessness in the discharge of duty, fidelity to
the principles of the party, And an anxious desire to pro
mote its interests, with some experience and a moderate
degree of ability, can be made serviceable hereafter, the
Weekly PATRIOT AND UNION will not be less useful to
the party or leas welcome to the family circle in the fu
ture than it has been in the past. We confidently look
for increased encouragement in this great enterprise,
and appeal to every influential Democrat in the State to
lend us his aid in running our sapacription list up to
twenty or thirty thousand. The expense to each indi
vidual is trifling, the benefit to the party may be great.
Believing that the Democracy of the State feel the ne
cessity of sustaining a fearless central organ, we make
thia appeal to them for assistance with the fullest confi
dence of success.
The same reasons which induce us to raise the price
of the Weekly, operate in regard to the Daily paper, the
price of which is also increased. The additional cost to
each subscriber will be but tailingi and, while we
can
not persuade ourselves that the change necessarily made
will result in any diminution of our daily circulation,
yet, were we certain that such would be the conse
quence, we should still be compelled to make it, or auf
far a ruinous loss. tinder these circumstances we must
throw ourselves upon the generosity, or, ratheri the
justice of the public, and abide their verdict, whatever
it may be.
The period for which many of our subscribers have
paid for their paper being on the eve of expiring, we
take the liberty of issuing this notice, reminding them
of the same, in order that they may
RENEW THEIR CLUBS.
We shall also take it se an especial favor if our present
subscribers will urge upon their neighbors the fact that
the PATICLOT AND UNION is 'the only Democratic paper
printed in Harrisburg, and considering the /WO amount
of reading matter, embracing all the current news of
the day, and

N. B.—The following law, passed.by Congress m 1860,
defines the duty of Postmasters in relation to the de
livery of newspapers to club subscribers :
(See Little, Brow! ¢ Co.'s edition of:the .. .L : Ims of 1860,
page 38;cizap . ter 181, section 1.)
"Provided, however, that where packages of newspa
persor periodicals are received at any post office directed
to one address, and the names of the club subscribers to
which they belong, with the postage for a quarter in ad
vance, shall be handed to the postmaster, he shall de
liver the same to their respective owners."
To enable the Postmaster to comply with this regula
tion, it will be necessary that he be furdished with the
list of names composing the club, and paid a quarter's
(or year's) postage in advance. The uniform courtesy
of Postmasters, affords the assurance that they will
cheerfuliyaccemmooate club subscribers, and the latter
should take care that the postage, which is but a trifle
in each case, bepaid in advance. Send on the clubs

MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 28 1868
NEW JERSEY RESOLUTIONS.
As part of the history of the times we publish
the resolutions of the New Jersey Legislature,
as they passed the House of Assembly on Tues
day evening last, by a vote of 38 to 13. We
preface them with extracts from the speech of
Mr. - Panetta, of Morris, to show the light in
which they were viewed by the Democratic ma
jority :
Mr. Vanata, of Morris, .(Dem.,) closed the
debate on the-resolutions in a speech of consi
derable power. He hoped to have his position
clearly understood, and to be able to demon
strate that the position of the Democratic party
of the State of New Jersey had not changed
from the days of Jefferson to the present hour.
The first great object with every patriot and
with me, be said, is to preserve intact the gov
ernment under which we live. In the words
of the oath of allegiance, administered even to
the alien when he seeks to become a citizen, I
am sincerely attached to the Constitution of
the United States, I am attached to it because
it protects the rights of the individual man,
because it protects the liberties of the nation,
and because it tends to advance the civilisation
of mankind. It is the produot of the cen
turies, and if destroyed it will take many more
centuries before human rights find such ano
ther sanctuary as they,have had here. With
that laid down as the cardinal idea of my posi
tion, it will be understood why I am long suf
fering with the evils of the war and with a
disagreeable and incapable administration.—
However long we have to bear with these evils,
the time is nothing compared to the lifetime of
the nation. In view of the future lam pre
pared to suffer much, to be deprived of much;
if in the end the government under which we
live can be conserved. The price of liberty is
eternal vigilance. The truth is an old one, but
a greater was never uttered. We are assailed
to-day on the one hand by reckless and irre
eponsible agents selected to administer the
government, by whom the reserved rights of
the States and people are endangered, and on
the other hand by the rebellion. I will leave the
rebels, for the present, in the care of the 80,-
000 Jerseymen who have gone South to deal
with them, and I will speak of the civil powers
nearer home. We must watch them closely
We must see that our liberties as a people pass
from us as perfect as we received them. Demo
crats are called disloyal, unfaithful to the gov
ernment, and in sympathy with traitors.—
Where do you find it ? In the party ? Ido not
speak of individuals. Looking to public and
official acts, and viewing the party by those
tests, I defy any one to find the first scintilla
of disloyalty, or any evidence of backward pa
tiiotism.
*
When this war commenced the nation relied
on the promiFes of the President's inaugural.
Faith was plighted between the President and
the people who sustained the war. We have a
right to require the observance.of that faith,
for we have performed oar share of the cove
nant. It has been said we wish to obstruct
the prosecution of the war. On the contrary,
our complaint is that by mismanagement the
goiernment cripples itself. There were two
torirendluu"Vt-oat civeittear.--1.20 o.9tuvutrar
has tried the physical. There was a loyal feel
ing through the South which preponderated in
several Stites. I believe there was a majority
in all in favor of the Union. But they were
told the government meant by every possible
means to strip them of their property, to dis
organize their system of society and labor.—
Means should have been taken to disabuse
their minds of this idea. With a united North
and a large party in the South we could have
crushed this insurrection in the bud. The
policy of the President at first was to divide
sentiment at the South ; yet in a few months
it enabled the leaders of the rebellion to go to
the people and show that all their worst pre
dictions were in course of fullfillment. Have
we not reason to complain that he should so
foolishly, so recklessly throw away all moral
force ? The resolutions simply demand that
the President shall return to the policy of his
inaugural. Is that unpatriotic ? The idea has
been thrown out that the government had no
power under the Constitution to defend itself
against attack ; that this was laid down in the
debates on the foundation of the Constitution.
apprehend the meaning of the framers of
that instrument was that coercion should not
be used where the law was not forcibly op
posed. The Constitution expressly empowers
the government to defend itself against insur
rection. We must not be told that. the Demo
cratic party holds that the government was
helpless to defend itself. We complain of Mr.
Lincoln because he has thrown away the legiti
mate power which he had, and has divided
popular opinion at the North. Like causes
produce like effects, and the want of stern
dealing with public agents must result in the
loss of public liberty.
I am not one who believes this rebellion
cannot be suppressed, but no effort to that end
will be successful without entire unity of the
people of the North. The government was not
strong enough witYout that, and that it cannot
haVe unless it respects the rights of the peo
ple of the North. The proclamation divides
the people of the North ;; hence its folly.
Moreover it does not effect its object. It forces
the negro into the army only where the army
goes, and that would have happened without
the proclamation. When the States are
brought back the status of the negro will oe
whatever the governments of those States
choose to make it. The proclamation is a
cruel mockery of and an outrage upon the ne
gro. It is a piece of inhumanity no govern
ment ought to be guilty of. The other side of
the house professes to see a squinting toward
recognition in the fifth resolution. The gen
tleman from Bergen, too, says that he sees it
and advocates its passage on that ground. I
take occasion to say th.,t if this resolution
could be tortured into anything like a tendency
to offer the support of New Jersey to Jefferson
Davis it. never can receive my support. But
that is not its intention. Nothing was further
from the minds of those who drafted or sustain
it. We have never had an insurrection, great
or small, where we did not have commissioners.
We had them in the whisky rebellion. After
Washington had brought a military force into
the field for be suppression he appointed three
COMmiesionere to see if he could induce the
malcontents into obedience "by persuasion."
If Washington could do this our patriotism will
not suffer by following his example. It may
be doubtful whether the President would ap
point these commissioners, or whether they
would be received at Richmond, or wttether
they would not need to be iron clad to get
safely away from there. But there may be
people at the South who could be reached by
this means. At' any rate there are a great
many people in New Jersey who think the
project ought to be tried, and I am disposed to
PRICE TWO CENTS.
respect that opinion. It will also place us in
a favorable position before the world, and that
is an object worthy of attainment. I know of
no men who want other than an honorable
peace. The difference of opinion is as to hew
that a can be secured . The gentleman from
Bergen thinks that the war ought never to
have been commenced or that it ought to be
stopped short to-day. This is an argument I
cannot understand or adulit. When the rebels
attacked Sumpter and were marching on Wash:
ington, what was the government to do ? Net
try to defend itself ? Suppose it had acted on
the principle of the gentleman from Bergen—
Mr. English. The gentleman from Morris
misapprehends my position. I do'not want a
dishonorable peace any more than the gentle
man himself. What I objected to was the
first overt act on the part of the administra
tion.
Mr. Vanatta. When the capital was threat,
ened the President who did not defend it
would have been a coward and a wretch.—
What I understand the gentleman to mean is
that before the §tar of the West was fired into
or Sumpter assaulted, measures might have
been taken to preclude the necessity of war.—
Bat The question is not what might have been
done, but what it is our duty to do in the posi
tion in which we are placed. I hold that no
man has a right to live under a Oovernment
and be unfaithful to that government. Cal
houn opposed the Mexican war, but after its
commencement he acquiesced in the action of
the government and gave it his support. 1
disclaim the right to drive the government into
a dishonorable peace by withholding supplies.
I believe in the sentiment of Decatur, "My
country ! may she always be right; but my
country—right or wrong." These resolutions
are a remonstrance which a freeman has a
right to make—which he ought to make. The
speaker instanced similar action taken by
other States, specially calling attention to the
famous Kentucky resolutions, which he said
were prepared by Madison in company of Jef
ferson.
Mr. English. These resolutions were a bold
and explicit assertion of reserved State rights.
Mr. Vanatta. Resolutions, such as these
now offered are honorable to the State and to
individuals who vote for them.
A vote was then taken on the resolutions and
they were adopted by the following vote:

RESOLUTIONS.
1. De it resolved by the Senate and Genera/
Assembly of the State of New Jersey, That this
State, in promptly answering the calls made
by the President of the Co ted States, at and
since the inauguration of the war, for troops
end meatuf to assist in mintaining the power
and dignity of the Federal Government, be
lieved and tionlided in the professions and
declarations of the President, of the J nited
States, in his inaugural address, and !.n the
resolutions passed by Congress on thr 25th

waged for conquest or subjugation, or inter
fering with the rights or established institu
tions of the States, but to maintain and de
fend the supremacy of the Constitution, with
the rights and equality under it unimpaired,
and that as soon as these objects shall be ac
complished the war aught to cease ;" and that
relying upon these assurances, given under
the sancity of official oaths, this State freely,
fully, and without delay or conditions, con
tributed to the assistance of the Federal Go
vernment her sons and her means.
2: And be it resolved, That this State having
waited for the redemption of the sacred pledges
of the President and Congress with a patience
and forbearance only equalled in degree by
the unfaltering and unwavering bravery and
fidelity of her sons, conceives it to be her
solemn duty, as it is her unquestionable right
to urge upon the President and Congress, in
the most respectful but .decided manner, the re
demption of the pledges under which the troops
of this State entered upon and to this moment
hive continued in the contest ; and inasmuch
as no conditions have delayed or hesitation
marked her zeal in behalf of the Federal gov
ernment, even at times when party dogmas
were dangerously usurping the place of broad
national principles and executive and congres
sional faith; and as the devotion of this State
to the sacred cause of perpetuating the Union
and maintaining the Constitution has been un
tainted in any degree by infidellity, bigotry,
sectionalism, or partisanship, she now, in view
of the faith originally plighted, of the disasters
and disgrace that have marked the steps of a
changed and'ehanging policy, and of the immi
nent danger that threatens our national exist
ence, urges upon the President and Congress
a return and adherence to the original policy
of the administration as the only means, under
the blessing of God, by which the 'lnhering
States con be reunited in action, the Union re
stored and the nation saved
S. And be it resolved, that it is the delibe
rate sense of the people of this Stare that the
war power within the limits of the Constitu
tion is ample for any , nd all emergencies, and
that all assumptions of power, under what
ever plea, beyond that conferred by the Consti
tution, is without warrant or authority, and if
permitted to continue without remonstrance
will finally encompass the destruction of the
liberties of the people and the death of the re
public ; and therefore, to the end that in any
event the matured and deliberate sense of the
people of New Jersey may be known and de
clared, we, their representatives in Senate and
General Assembly convened, do, in their name
and in their behalf, make unto the Federal
Government this, our solemn
PROTEST.
Against a, war waged with the insurgent
States for the accomplishment of unconstitu
tional or partisan purposes ;
Against a war which has for its object the
subjugation of any of the &atm with a view
to their reduction to territorial condition;
Against prosAamations from any source by
which, under the plea of “military necessity,"
persons in States and Territories sustaining
the Federal Government, and bey mad necessary
military lines, are held liable to the rigor and
severity of military law ;
Againet the domination of the military over
the civil law in States, Territories, or Districts
not•in a state of insurrection;
A g ainst all arreets without warrant—against
the suspension of the writ of Wm, corpus in
Sates and rritories suslainingt he Federal
Government, "where the public safety does net
require it"—and against the assumption of
power by any person to suspend such writ,
except under the express authority of Con
gress;

• Against the creation of new States by the
division of existing ones, or in any other man
ner not clearly authorized by the Constitution,
and against the right of secession as practi
cally admitted by the action of Congress in ad.
mitting as a new State a portion of the State of
Virginia.
Against the power assumed in the proclama
tion of the President, made January one,
eighteen hundred and sixty-three, by which all
the slaves in certain States and parts of States
are forever set free ; and against the expendi
ture of the public moneys for the emancipation
of slaves or their support at any time, under
any pretence whatever ;
Against any and every exercise of power
upon the part of the Federal Government that
is not clearly given and expressed in the Fede
ral Constitution—re-asserting that "the powers
not delegated to the United States by the Con
stitution, nor prohibited by it to the Stated, are
reserved to the States respectively, or to the
people."
4. And be it resolved, That the unequalled
promptness with which New Jersey has re
sponded to every call made by the President
and Congress for men and means, has been nil
casioned by no lurking animosity to the States
of the South or the rights of her people; no
disposition to wrest from them any of their
rights,- privileges, or property, but simply to
asssist in maintaining, as she has ever believed
and now believes it to be her duty to do, the
supremacy of the Federal Constitution ; and
while abating naught in her devotion to the
union of the States and the dignity and power
of the Federal Government, at no time since
the commencement of the present war has this
State been other than willing to terminate
peacefully and honorably to all, a war unne
cessary in its origin, fraught with horror and
suffering in its putiecution, and necessarily
dangerous 'to the Monies of all in its continu
ance.
5. And be it resolved, That the Legislature
of the State of New Jersey believes that the
appointment of commissioners upon the part
of the Federal Government to meet commis
sioners similarly appointed by the insurgent
States, to convene in some suitable place . for
the purpose of considering whether any, mid
if any, what plan may be adopted, consistent
with the honor and dignity of the national
Government, by which tl e present civil war
may be brought to a close, in not inconsistent
with the integrity, honor, and dignity of the
Federal Government, but as an indication of
the spirit which animates the adhering States,
would in any event tend to strengthene us in
the opinion of other nations ; and hoping, as
we sincerely do, that the Southern States
would reciprocate the peaceful indications
thus evinced, and believing, as we do, that un
der the blessing of God great benefits would
arise from such a conference, we most earnest
ly recommend the subject to the consideration
of the government of the United States and re
quest its cooperation therein.
6. And be it resolved, That his Excellency
the Governor be requested to forward copies
of theee resolutions to the government of the .
United States, our Senators and Representa
tives in Congress, and to the Governors and
Legislatures of our sister States, with the re
quest that they give the subject proposed their
serious and immediate attention.
7. And be it resolved, That the State of New
Jersey pledges itself to such prompt action
upon the subject of these resolutions as will
give them practical effect, immediately upon

POLAND AS A BATTLE GROUND.
What is known as the Kingdom of Poland is
very unfavorably situated in some respects for
making a prolonged resistance to the immense
power of Russia. The only navigable river
which traverses its territory flows, for the last
hundred and fifty miles of its course, through
the provinces of Prussia, cutting off the in
surgents completely from the sea coast, and
the possibility of obtaining supplies from
foreign countries. In fact, the kingdom, which
has an area of about three thousand square
miles more than the State of New York, is
completely enclosed by the three monarchies
which took part in the partitions. Two of
these are Intensely hostile to the national
movement; the third (Austria) has always had
a tender feeling toward the heroic defenders
of their national independence. The Empress
Maria Theresa, when signing the atrocious
treaty, added a protest against it as an act of
injustice, the baleful effects of which would
be felt long atter she was dead. The offer of
Galicia, however, and reasons of state, such as
the danger of la.vit g Russia in too close prox
imity, induced her to overcome her scruples,
llui become a kirlideps tiirainia. But the
apsburghe, in 1831, and on the present otica
eon, have shown a degree of lenience to their
Polish subjects such as the Magyars have in
vale prayed and contended for.
Only one navigable river (the Vistula), we
have said, finds its way from Poland to the sea.
This great artery, from Cracow on the south
west to Thorn on the northwest, describes a
course nearly semi-circular, cutting the king
dom into two sections of nearly equal extent.
A short distance north of Wersaw that river
receives its principal afilitent,the Bag or B 'ugh,
which enters at nearly a right angle from the
eaet. Passing up it in that direction for about
one hund-ed miles, the stream makes a sudden
bend to the right, and for the rest of its course
flows between the Russo-Polish province of
Volhynia and the kingdom proper. For the
greater part of its course it is navigable during
a large portion of the year; but is frequently
crossed by bridges. The numerous tributaries
which flow into these are unimportant in a com
mercial point of view; but in a country, most
of whien is a dead level, they may setae to im
pede greatly an army on its march ; for if the
streams themselves are insignificant, they are
usually flanked with marshes, which are more
susceptible of defence than navigaqe rive-rs.
The only hilly section of Poland is in the
South, along the upper Vistula, where that
river separates the kingdom from Galicia. But
even there the mountains are of very moderate
elevation and rover comparatively a small area.
We question whether as means of detente they
will be found equal fo the forests and swamps
which abinind nearly everywhere, end have
been so often taken advantage of by the Poles.
The rands wheal traverse the country are few,
and for the most part of a very indifferent
character, passing between the large cities anti
towns in nearly straight lines. The railroads
have already been so a large extent rendered
unservice.ible to the s,ussian goveroment.r—
The most important of these is the Petersburg
and Warsaw line, which has escaped destruc
tion from the insurgents only on the pledge
given that it shell not be used for transporting
troops or army stores against them. Toward
the South, another line has been opened con
t:miring Warsaw with Cracow ; while communi
cation is bed with 13ree•lau, Berlin, 850,, by a
Hoe to the West. It. does not.seem that up to
this date any of these works has rendered
important services to either of the belligerents
in the war. Whether Russia will he permitted
