Harrisburg, March 118, 1863.
- The Abolition oligarchy at Washington is
organising twin movements in the army and
among the people which are crammed full of
anarchy. Among the soldiers the movement
• eonsista in exciting suspicion and distrust, and
the introduction of politics and political meet
ings, the forced passage of resolutions against
the "copperhead traitors" in the loyal States ;
at home it takes the shape of Union Leagues,
'which assume the solitary virtue of "loyalty"
to the- Government and proscribe everybody
•who does not and cannot swallow negro eman
cipation, a war of extermination, the usurpa
tions of the Executive, and the despotic and
-unconstitutional enactments of Congress. It
is not hard to foresee the tendency of such a
policy. It is,part and parcel of•the iniquitous
legislation of the mad fanatics who now govern
the country—the attempt to substitute force
for the free will of the people.
Such a policy carried out develops mar
ehy at once—the only refuge and safety
the infamous bigots who are instituting it
can hope for in the future. Such things go
on from bad to worse. The effort to proscribe
and stifle public opinion and the free expres
• pion of it among the sovereign people of this
nation, is one which proceeded with will inevi
tably recoil upon the tyrannous agitators who
are making it. The people are not so ignorant
-as not to know who owns the country—and the
surrender of their inalienable right of free
speech, the direction and government of the
country to snit themselves, is not a sacrifice
which they are likely to make willingly and
without resistance. Let them then take warn
ing in time. If riot and disorder and intestine
•violenbe begin, retribution will fall upon the
fool hardy attempts they are making surely
- -and speedily; and if come it does, and come it
must, their blood be upon their own heads I
Recruiting Negroes in Massachusetts.
Prom the accounts reeeiyed, the recruiting
.of blacks in Massachusetts doer; not- progress
-with the rapidity anticipated by Gov. Andrew
and the Abolitionists generally; in fact the en
.periment aeons now to be mourned by these
fanatics as a melancholy failure. Notwith
.standing their partisan papers continue to pub
lish urgent appeals to the colored recruits in
:language like the folloWing_t
•" Colored men, attention! Four country
-calls 1 One hundred colored men wanted, to
be attached to Gov. Andrew's new regiment,
the Massachusetts Fifty-fourth,"
;Yet they are like Glendower "calling spirits
from the vasty deep," they "will not come
when they do tall them." The Legislature of
Massachusetts has passed a bill to promote en
listments and regulate recruiting, which puts
$1,500,000 into the hands of Gov. Andrew
for the purpose of raising volunteers, and gives
to him alone the authority to offer bounties for
enlistments. Under this authority he is now
offering $5O boast/ for seri) remits, while he
only offers $25 to such of the soldiers of Mos
sachussetts now in the service as may hereafter
re-enlist.
This is in perfect keeping with the one-idea
mad fanaticism of the Abolitionists. Not con
tent in their impiousness with trying to reverse
the decrees of God, and place on an equality,
those which He has stamped with inferiority,
they actually place the ignorant,nntried negro
above the veteran white man-443race of a hun
dred well fought fields! Great God; can such
folly long go unavenged ?
Negro Statistics.
The preliminary report of the Superinten
dent of the Eighth Census has just been printed
at the Government printing office. It abounds
'with valuable information and the following
statistics, relating to free negroea and people
of color, cannot fail to be of interest at this
time.
Pennsylvania has a free negro population of
56,849, more than can be found in any other of
the Free States_ The six New Engl9nd States
have the follow;ng:—Maire, 1,827; New Hamp
shire, 494; Vermont, 709 ; Massaclntetts,
9,602; Rhode Island, 3,952 - '
Connecticut, 8,627;
—or altogether, 24.711. Being far less than
one-half of the notrkber in our State. During
the last ten years Pennsylranut has added to
her colored population 3,228, while No York
State has 64 less than she had in 1850. The
Ruperintendent says "The greater mikicess of
the climate and a milder type of the prejudices
Connected with this class of population, the
result of benevolent influences, and its proxi
caity to the Slaveholding States, msy account
for the fart that Ibis race holds its own in
Pennsylvania, while undergoing a diminution
in the State next adjoining it on the north."
This increase is owing entirely to ()Migra
tion, for it is a remarkable face that the
race does not increase from natural °arms,
for the report says "In Philadelphia, during
the last six months of the census year, the new
city registration gives 148 births against 306
deaths among the free colored."
By the above statistics, it will be seen that
Pennsylvania contains nearly 57,000 negroes
—enough in all conscience—and we are glad
to see that resolutions have been offered in the
Legislature preventing any further immigration
into this State of Mr. Lincoln's "loyal Ameri
can citizens of African descent," and hope
they will be passed into a law. If the New
England Abolitionists will steal niggers from
the South where their labor is useful, and bring
Nord' to fill jails and alms houses let them
take coffee home with them and have the full
benefit of his odorous company, and hug him
to their hearts content. We certainly have a
surfeit of them.
Anarchy. and Disunion—Au Appeal to all
Conservative Men.
If there remains a doubt in the mind of any
conservative man that even Abolition madness
has its method, it is high time the delusion
were dismissed. Abolition means something
more than negro freedom; it is more than an
impalpable theory of higher law—more than a
dangerous political heresy.; it has fostered
from the beginning the furtive spirit of Anar
chy in all the sweep and breadth of the terrible
meaning of the term. It has begotten at
length that incipient•-moaster in our midst.
Conspiring against the government, it aims
to overthrow the public liberties. It is now
the dominant power in the land ; and it has
made the issue with the people, and the people
must overcome it or submit..
Rejecting the true theory of slow and im
perative reform, Abolitionism has leaped
headlong into revolution. It heeds no longer
fixed laws and statutes made for the stability
of a government founded in faith out of the
long agonies of early wars. It has for
gotten the traditions which have prospered in
the nation's heart—the cherished household
gods deep in the silent worship of the nation's
love. The clustering and illustrious memories
of our golden years of progress, the majestic
march of onward greatness and renown, the
pride and glory of the past, the hopes and
visions of the future—all have not served to
chasten the vengeful spirit of its wrath, the
rancor which has brooded its soul. In the
guise of professed philanthropy, it has awaited
the auspicious hour of national convulsion,
warily, but with the same intent, the same
inexorable purpose. Gradually it has crept
from the refuge of the laws, the Union and the
Constitution, until, stripped of its mask in
the heat of its own madness, it comes to revel
in the nation's woes and make wild havoc of
its liberties. • .
The time has some when Abolitionism must
be met and trampled out of life ; or it will
stride the nation with its fury. It is active
and alert, while a calm and nerveless apathy
is covering the people; and it will work the
destruction of our liberties if it is not met
and promptly overcome. Let the conservative
men of the country arouse and bend their
energies to the work. Let our action be
earnest and united, and let no differences dis
tract our efforts to resist and overthrow its
power. Once drank with revolution, it
will be hard to bring back calmness and wis
dom to our counsels. The inured servility of
idle and ignorant submission will destroy the
life and freedom of the people. Let security
sleep in our hearts and vigilance, the price of
liberty, be debauched among us, and the waves
of anarchy will sweep away the glory of our
empire.
N Mark, freemen of the North, the mighty
impetus of events, the slow coiling of the
despotic power. Destrained from your own
freeholds, it is gathering appliances of a limit
less . and exterminating war. A dotard Presi
dent, per* ed to his oath, is become the in
strumene of projected crime, so Vast and so
_unchristian, that its very purpose will dis
honor the annals of the age. The emancipa
tion proclamation and the confiscation acts are
made the unholy objects of unnatural war
fare, the eternal barrier le a restoration of
peace and union. The Union is a compact
dependent upon the will and suffrage of a free
people; it was meant to be eternal; it must. be
preserved ; but it is dead for all time when
mutual confidence, respect and affection are
no longer possible—stat *Minis umbra—only
the bare and lifeless skeleton remains, when
the spirit of amity and concord has departed.
Did not these anarchists know this when they
passed the act of confiscation and urged and
instigated the emancipation proclamation ? Is
there a man idiot enough to think the destruc
tion of the Union was not deliberately planned
in these enactments ?
The same intent which animates these
acts has reacted upon the innocent and
loyal people of the North. It is raging the
full length of all our borders. It has not been
enough that hundreds of thousands of our
brave sons have been sent to the carnage of an
endless war, to butchery, to rapine, to their
own moral ruin and dishonor—not enough to
direct against women and children and de.
fenseless non combatants a crusade of life
and death, and, with vengeance, rage and
hate, to lay waste and reduce to the bald
condition of a conquered province the sove
reign. Southern States—not enough • to drive
before the dread approach of marching armies
shelterless innocents, to strip them of their
houses and property—not enough to uproot
the entire social and political systems so deeply
imbued in the life of eight millions of our
fellow creatures, to upheave their government,
obliterate State lines and institutions—it is
not enough' to prepare such schemes of deso
lation, that in the full tide of anarchy some
new system, a stranger to the soil, might be
implanted, agrarian settlement of the lands be
iniroduce3, a protectorate and distribu
tion of the subjugated territory —net
enough to perfect in purpose such vast iniqui
ties ; but over the laws and institutes of the
loyal North, where no pretense exists for it,
the same madness runs its wild career. The
sacred rights of person, the inviolable privi
leges of sovereign freemen, equal before heaven
to kings, has been infringed without war •
rant and without stint. The same inexorable
despotism predominates legislation which
touches the concerns of Northern men, that
abides m the hateful projects of Southern sub
jugation. The . purse and the sword are to be
surrendered with the liberty of person, cowl
ounce among the people restricted, the right
and power of self-defense, guaranteed by the
Covenant of our liberties, to be wrested from
the helpless and deflowered sisters of the Nor
thern Federation. The insidious wiles of ty
ranny are at Work among the armies in the field )
exciting hate and suspicion toward their own
loved and loyal friends at home. In our very
midst associations are formed whose covert aim
is to subvert all freedom of speech, to proscribe
all unfriendly expression of opinion, to bring
the reign of riot and confusion and intestine
violence to our doors. The record of such
crimes, and the folly and Madness of their au
thors, will stain forever the fair pages of our
history ; it has turned to amazement the yearn
ing love of freedom in other nations, which
looked to the bright example of the Western
World.
To all the conservative freemen of the North
let the warning voice appeal which speaks so
plainly in this day's national afflictions. The
demon of violence must be met now or ne+er
by this generation. Courage will meet it—
temperance, wisdom, patience must and can
subdue it. Let all conservative men as
semble, organize and be ready; they will be
needed. The hour. approaches when,for their
rights, for the honor and safety of the nation,
they must act. By the peaceful but powerful
right of their own suffrages they may save the
country. Submission now is wise and vital to
success ; vigilance and organization will do
the work awl redeem us in the end.
Against the usurpations of their creature, the
President and his minions, against thaviolence
of faction, the madness of armed anarchy
North and South, let the conservative freemen
of Pennsylvania array themselves—against a
dissolution of these States under the Consti
tution, against dishonorable peace, against
empire within empire, against all unlawful in
fractions of the sovereign rights of the whole
country, against the twin heresies of Secession
and Abolition, against all traitors North or
South.
Let them stand for the war for the true pur
pose of the war, and none other ; hr peace,
when peace can restore to us again the common
heritage of a united country ; for the imper
ishable glory of the old Union and the Consti
tution unimpaired—with sympathy for our
soldiers' trials, with pride in the mute suffer
ings he has endured, with hearty, ready,
0611100 will t 9 aid him and protect him, to
cherish his fame and to honor the cause in
which he fights, making it just before men and
in the sight of God
The Barbarism of Abolition.
"When Anthony Burns, the fugitive slave,
was confined in the Court House in Boston, a
meeting was held at Faneuil Hall to consider
the subject. TI coder° Parker, the man who
presented the gun, which was so affectionately
received by his excellency, and the Reverend
Thomas IV. Higginson were there. Mr. Par
ker, in concluding an eloquent speech, alluded
to the fact that a slave was confined in the
Court House, and exclaimed, in substance,
.Way stand we here idle ? To ' the rescue !'
A rush was immediately taade for the Court
House, and at the door stood a poor laboring
man, a Mr. Bat chelder, a night watch. His
wire and two children were probably sleeping
at home, possibly dreaming for him as he was
toiling for their bread. The crowd demanded
admittance, he refused, as in duty he was
bound to do, and was immediately assassinated
on the spot. Who killed hint the world never
knew. These men, Mr. President, were the
confidental friends and supporters of Mr. Sum
ner, and for this reason I have alluded to the
subject."
The above is one of the reasons given by Mr.
Swan, a member of the Senate of Massachu
setts, although a Republican, against voting
for Mr. Sumner for the United States Senate.
Mr. Swan was evidently shocked at the fiendish
barbarity which would sacrifice the liv.es of
any number of intelligent white men to redeem
from slavery one ignorant negro ; and yet Mr.
Swan and his co-laborers, continue to support
the present administration, and the emancipa
tion proclamation of the President, which is
conceived in the same spirit, and which could
not possibly produce any of the results they
anticipated, except to inaugurate a servile in
surrection in the Southern States—re-enact
the horrors of St,. Domingo—and deluge the
fair fields of the South with the blood of non
combatants—dearepid old men, defenceless
women, and innocent children—and all this for
tor what ? TO attempt to better the works of
the Almighty, and raise to an equality, beings,
which He in the wise economy and order of
his creation has made inferior. Mr. Sumner
may preach in the United States Senate of the
barbarism of slavery, but in all its dark annals
no parallel can be found to these hellish
schemes. They are alike leveled against civ
ilization, against christianity, against God,
and cannot but overwhelm their authors with
the curse of all Christendom.
General News
The lateit news from the Vicksburg and Ya
zoo expeditious reached us from Wm on
Saturday. It appears that another barge, con
taining one thousand bushels of coal, floated
past the batteries at Vicksburg safely, for the
use of Admiral Farragut's fleet.
We have it on the authority of the Memphis
Bulletin of Wednesday, that three of Admiral
Porter's gunboats have reached the Yazoo river
by the Sue newer route and reached Greenwood.
The same journal says that our farces above
Greenwood had abandoned the undertaking to
force a passage, end were Palarniag t hen
they met General Quimby's division en route to
reinforce them. A conference was had, the
result of which is unknown, but h is thought
that in consequence of the success of the new
route the whole force would return.
The rebel accounts of affairs in the South
west conflict somewhat with owe, Richmo n d
papers of the 26th say that the Hartford and
Monengahela were allowed to approach within
four hundred yards of the rebel batteries at
Grand Gulf, when they opened ire upon them,
the vessels replying with broadsides several
times. A dozen shots struck the vessels.—
Parties were seen carrying the wounded below.
The Natchez Courier says the Hartford, with .
Admiral Fermat on board, anchored in front
of that city on Thursday afternoon, the .160,
and sent a small boat with a flag of trues
ashore, with a note addressed to the Mayor,
stating that if the United States gunboats were
fired upon by the people of Natchez or by
guerillas he would bombard the city. The
Hartford remained all night and left with the
Monongahela in the morning.
The Richmond Sentinel of the 24th, in giving
their account of the situation in the Southwest,
says :—"The last papers from the United
States are jubilant over false reports of the
Success of the Yazoo expedition. Our An
reports are several days later than theirs, and
represent the expedition as thoroughly whip
ped, and in full retreat by the way they came.
Thus far the enemy has utterly failed in every
one of his last moves. Farragut was whipped
at Port Hudson ; Banks broke down before he
got there, and fell back without a fight ; the
Yazoo expedition ends in chastisement and
flight; at Vicksburg they are drowned out."
The Legislature of Missouri has adjourned
sine dic. The session has been more remarkable
for what it has not done than for anything it
has accomplished. It failed to fill the two va
cant seats in the Senate of the United States;
and in the event of an extra session of Congress
the State would be unrepresented. No conclu
sion was arrived at, and no law was passed in
reference to emancipation. The banks and rail
roads of the State claimed the attention of the
Legislature, but only temporary relief was
granted them. The whole session was frittered
away with long buncombe speeches and stale
jokes.
William Thomson, master of the rebel
schooner David Crockett, which was captured
while running the blockade at Galveston,
Texas, has been released from Fort Layfay
ette, by order of the Secretary of the Navy.
A deserter from the Seventy-first Indiana
volunteers who returned from the enemy's
lines as a spy, was shot at Indianopolis on
Friday by sentence of court martial. Two
gentlemen—one a legislator of Indiana and the
other the deputy auditor—were arrested there
for cheering for Jeff. Davis.
Subscriptions are circulating at Washington
to pay for pamphlets calumniating General
M'Clellan. They are to be gratuitously circu
lated. "Little Mao" is so deeply enshrined in
the hearts of the people that all the calumnies
the Abolitionists can circulate will not affect
him injuriously.
A specific offer of a loan of one hundred 'mil
lions in gold was made to the Secretary of the
Treasury on Saturday by a leading house at
Amsterdam, the gold to be exchanged for Uni
ted States six per cent. bonds at the current
premium at the time of the draft of any portion
of the Amount.
We have later intelligence of some interest
from Europe by the arrival of the Asia at New
York on Saturday. The diplomatic corres
pondence with the American Minister relative
to the American war is published. Mr. Adams'
letters refer principally to the affair of the
Alabama. He complains of the course pur
sued by England in this matter. Mr. Mason's
letters appeal for the recognition of the South
ern Confederacy, and urge that the blockade
•f the Southern ports shall be declared a nni.
lity. He is greatly dissatisfied at the refusal
of his application. The London Times, com
menting on this correspondence, says, " the
irritation so clearly displayed on both sides is
proof that England is not inclined to either
side of the controversy, but has maintained
her neutrality." The accounts of the Polish
insurrection continue to be vague. The insur
gents are now computed at 60,000. Col
lisions between them and the government for
ces are reported with varying results. There
was much activity in diplomatic circles in
Paris on the subject of the insurrection. A
demonstration took place at Marseilles in favor
of Poland, during which the residence of the
Russian Consul was threatened. Deputations
had an interview with Lord Palmerston urging
the interference of England in favor of Poland,
even at the expense of war, which would be
popular in such a cause. Lord Palmerston re
fused to commit himself. The Poles defeated
the Russians in a battle near Mysezoma. One
hundred Russians were killed. The Paris
Moniteur has positive information that the
Archbishop of Warsaw is among the members
of the Polish Council who tendered their re
signations. The Spanish Government had
refused to permit the holding of a meeting at
Madrid in favor of the Poles.
The revenue steamer• Reliance arrived at
Baltimore on Saturday with two prizes cap
tured while attempting to go to Virginia.—
They had a large mail and file of late papers
from Richmond, also a large amount of Con
federate bonds and Virginia bank notes, medi
cines, &c., intended for Richmond.
OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.
It is pretty generally conceded that the De
mocratic party of Pennsylvania, with the as
sistance of the conservative thousands who
cannot support the radicals, will surely carry
the State at our next fall's election. Aboli
tionism, whether decorated in the thin veil of
Union Leagues or anything else, is utterly
disgusting to a large majority of our voters.
All we require is a conservative platforin,which
pledges our party to eternal hostility to a se
paration of the Union under My eireumetati
ces, and a candidate whose sentiments are
known to be in accordance therewith,and whose
personal character is not vulnerable to criti
cism or detraction. Give ue such a candidate,
upon such a platform, and the genius of the
people will adopt and support them. The
wisest of us just now are utterly incompetent
to even clevtrly guess at what may be our
condition six months hence. In the last
six we have seen our form of government en
tirely changed, until the President to-day
possesses absolute power, unequalled by any
other man upon the glebe. Whether he will
abuse this power is a question to be settled ;
and, if he does, to what extent, is another
query suggesting serious apprehensions. In
any end every event, no matter what may bo
developed bereft er—whether a restored Union
or a dismembered one, or an absolute separa
tion of the States, in which event each one
would have to see to herself—it is our duty to
have at the head of the Commonwealth one who
will be able to meet successfully any contin
gency which may arise from our present
troubles. In our fellow-citizen, Hon. George
W. Cass, we believe we have the man for the
occasion. Calm and wise in counsel, and firm
in his convictions, aided by a prudence which
no rashness can affect, he mould be able, suc
cessfully, to encounter and control the worst
contentions of the times. We trust that our I
contemporaries thoughout the State will pay
some attention to the subject of our next can
didate for Governor. Let the people's mind
be directed to the subject, and the Convention
of June next will be better enabled to make a
wise and judicious selection. We are anxious
to have our candidate's abilities and character
thoroughly investigated, because we have no
fears of the result of such investigation. Al.
ready we perceive the good effects of inquiry
in regard to our candidate, by his growing
strength throughout the neighboring counties.

INTERESTING FROM THE SOUTH.
FORTRESS MONROE, March 28
Last Sabbath several clergymen in Norfolk
gave notice that the churches would be open
on Friday, the 27th, for services, in conformity
with Jeff. Davis' proclamation. The churches
accordingly opened, but as • the worshippers
berm to congregate, they found a guard of
Union soldiers at the church doors. Conse
quently no services were allowed.
Richmond papers state that Judge Meridith,
of the circuit court, decided every citizen of
Maryland and every foreigner who ever enlis
ted in their army, no matter for how short a
time, acquired a domicil, and were, therefore,
liable to conscription, if between 18 and 45.
The hull and machinery of the steamer
Pennsylvania, burned 3 years ago on the James
river, has been raised, and passed here last
evening for Baltimore,
The steamship Spaulding arrived this morn
ing, bringing mails from the fleet at Hilton
Head, where she left last Thursday. She re
ports the steamboat Expounder, formerly Dan
iel Webster, aground near Stone Inlet. No
movement at Hilton Head to report of the fleet.
Colonel Ludlow, commissioner for exchange
of prisoners, has concluded arrangements with
the rebel commissioner Odd, for the exchange
of all United States officers held by the rebel
government.
The steamboat State of Maine left Fortress
Monroe at noon for City Point with a flag of
truce. She took for exchange 2,800 prisoners
of war, including 16 rebel officers ; also, 225
citizen prisoners.
An officer, deserted from the rebel ranks, ar
rived in Norfolk yesterday, and reports that
the rebels are evacuating Riohmond as fast as
it is possible for them to do so quietly. The
report is not fully credited.
