The Cry of Disunion. The South has governed th' country for years by threats. Politically in the minority, advocating and asking the interference of the Federal G'overnurent in behalf of a system un deniably wrong, their chances would be slim indeed before a fair expression of the popular will. The people know- slavery to be a vast political and social evil. As such it was re garded by the Fathers of the government and the framers of the Constitution. The early _political policy of the nation looked forward to its gradual extinguishment. As an evil in our midst, which must be removed cautiously and not rashly, but in the spirit of wisdom, it was allowed the protection of local state laws, and the passage of a fugitive slave law to give those local laws efficacy. Beyond this the framers of the constitution would not go.— When, however, the friends of the "peculiar institution" ask the Federal Government to advance its intonate by opening the slave trade, by acquiring new territory for the pur pose of creating future slaves States, by extend ing the protecting hand of Federal law over the " institution" intheterritories, by using the power of the government in the appointment of Governors, Judges, and other Territorial officers for the purpose of extending slavery, they take a position, the public conscience cannot but condemn. And the public con science would in thunder tones condemn, if true to itself, and untrammeled and unro strai ed in its utterances. To prevent this, inti dation has been resorted to, and the Soiath lash has been held over the heads of Northern freemen. Under the regime of the Democratic party, committed to the interests of slavery, northern statesmen have learned the lesson, that the Presidency is in the reach of no one, who dares to say a word against the interests of slavery, and a like proscrip tive spirit has governed the party in its dis tribution of patronage, from the appointment of foreign Embassadors, judges of the Federal Courts, officers of the Cabinet, Custom Hefts° officers, and. Pest asters, to the smallest office in the gift of the ' ecutive. Before a Nation al Democratic Contention threats have been re sorted to, to drive it to terms.' Take the fol lowing lowing dictatorial anguago addressed to the Charleston Conve tion in a recent issue of the Richmond Engui r: . " The South k owe its rights, and Harper's Ferry teaches e must maintain them.— Should 'the Un n survive the approaching Congress, the Charleston Convention will de cide its fate. If the South is permitted by an existing Union to meet the northern de mocracy in Charleston, the consultation will be calm and deliberate. The first men of the South will be there assembled. No scheming, plotting . politio;an, socking an oppurtunity to barter rights for public plunder, will be able to gratify his treasonable propensities ; but in firmness and With dignity, the doctrine of in tervention for protection will be insisted upon by the South, and the representatives of the northern democracy will decide • the issue. If for intervention, the nomination will be pro ceeded with ; if against intervention, there will be a leave-taking, a bidding adieu, a separation, a disunion, a secession, that will be not only prognostic but potent—a shadow of coming events cast warningly before to in ' form and deter." After Conventions have named their candi dates, the people of the North have been threatened for the purpose of coercing them into submission. Such was the game in 1856, and to the disgrace of craven dough-faces of the North, be it said, it won. Southern Con gressmen and Senators, Southern Editors and Orators threatened disunion, if Fremont were elected, and some wore so foolish, as to sup pose, that they would execute their threats.— The Union is strong in the affections of the people, and any President, by whatever party constitutionally elected, would always find at hand spree sufficient to put down any band of conspirators, who would lay the hand of violence upon this fair fabric of Republican Government. The persons, who make such threate, and the northern cowards, who retail them, are next-door neighbors to the traitor whose only desert is ~ ' angle at a respectful distance - obov , old .. , . Earth at the end of ic; _. . a hempen cord . oea Iv $ t disunion, because the people constitutionally govern, is treason. Such was ite name as given by Generals Jack son and Taylor, and such is its character under the laws of the land. Our attention has been called to the subject by frequent no tices of threats in Southern papers. WQ ex pect threatii on the floor of the coming Con- greas; and a continuation of violent throats, until a Republican President is elected in 1860. After that event we expect peace once more. TIIE NEW YORK STATE EtECTION.—From recent returns it seems probably That throe of the eight candidates on the Democratic State Ticket are elected by majorities ranging from three hundred to a thousand. The Americans of the State bad united on four of the Demo cratic eaudidatpei then three. Free. 13;tioft. fir the South.. ' We. olip the fo rowing, from. the Momphiia Appeal', ono of the most moderate of Southern newspapers.. TheAppealls amairmadvocateof Judge Douglass, and two tlieposition of Hon. Geo..W. Jones of Tennessee,that a 'i'erritorial Legielitture has , a right to. establish or abolish. slavery.. Such are moderate views in the South and their iulbocatea are even termed. Abolitioniste r and yet the Appeal' makes use of the following handsome lithignage "There mny he, here and there, in the &nth, particularly in• the• cities- and among the for eigners of 'Antonio origin, as at St. Louis, a few non-slaveholktera who axe hostile to. slav ery, but they are nearly powerlessforevil and' I generally cowardly; and', now that we. can read the murderoua smote of Abolition hearts by the incendiary light which crimsons the whole heavens from ffarper'e Ferry, we to that man who',. in a sloveholding community shall hereafter give utterance to sympathy with the craven South-haters and hell-hounds of the North 1' It had been better for him, had he never been born. Henceforth the South must bo a unit on the subject of slavery ; and, to this end, traitors in our midst must be served with a short shrift, and " a coat of tar and feathers," if not " a hempen cord." The lat ter mode of disposition is not without its hun dreds and thousands of adVocatee." • If such language comes from a conservative, what may we expect from a full,blooded fire-eater ? Washington's Opinion If the Southern Patriots of the Revolution ary Era were to rise from their graves, and re-visit their former homes, how great would be surprise to witness the changed son= timents of the Southern people on the slavery question ! Slavery then was regarded as wrong, now it is upheld as right ; then it was consid ered an evil, which, owing to an unfortunate train of circumstances, had to be tolerated, now it is viewed as a blessing, which should be extended. Read . as a proof the following language of the Father of his Country, equal ly as strong as the now condemned language of Seward's Rochester speech : " I agree with you cordially in your views in regard to negro slavery. Y have long con sidered it a most serious evil, both socially and politically, and I should rejoice in any feasible scheme to rid our States of such a burden.— The Congress of 1787 adopted an ordinance which prohibits the existence of involuntary servitude in our Northwestern Territory for ever. I consider it a wise measure. It met with the approval and assent. of nearly every member from the States more immediately in terested in slave labor. The prevailing opin ion in Virginia is against the spread of slavery in Our new TERRITORIES, AND I 711.1:70T WE MALL LEAVE A VUNYEDERATION Or FREE STATES." Meeting of the Exeoutive Committee The County Executive Committee met on Saturday last at the public house of Mr. Pres ton Brock in First Ward of the Borough of Allentown. Tilghman Good, Esq., of Third Ward was elected Chairman ; William F. Mas ser, Esq., of Washington township, Secretary; and Capt. W. 11. Gander of First Ward, Cor responding Secretary. ,The Committee resolved : That a County Convention for the selection of a delegate to the People's Convention to be held on the 22d of February next, be held on the 24th of December next, at the public house of Capt. Henry Earto, in the Borough of Catasauqua. Resolved, That Moses Wioand, Esq., of Emaus, be added as a member of the Commit tee to represent the newly incorporated Eta ; rough of - Emaus. Resolved, That a meeting of the Committee be hold on Saturday the 11th of February next, at. the public house of Simon Shoemaker iri the Borough of Emaus. For Governor. ' Tho Republicans of Pennsylvania are be ginning to look about in earnest for a good, strong Gubernatorial candidate. The gentle men named as far as we know, are as follows Gov. Andrew IL Reeder, of Northampton. Hon. Andrew G. Curtin, of Centre. Hon. David Taggart, of Northumberland. lion. Gideon J. Ball, of Erie. Hon. John Covodo, of Westmoreland. Hon. Levi Kline, of .Lebanon. Hon.'George Scranton, of Luierr.e. On the above list will be found the names of some of the , ablest mon in the State, and the selection of either can not fail to insure a sweeping majority. The Harper's Ferry InstuTm The people of Charlestown seem to have 1 1 been exercised very much of late by rumors of an intended attempt to rescue Old John BroWn. It was rumored that five hundred men had crossed the Ohio at Wheeling for for this purpose. The Governor was called on for the military. By Monday's city papers it appears that Governor Wise was on his way to Charleston with the Richmond battalion, and that other military companies wore moving in the same.direction. It is unnecessary to say, that there is no cause for alarm and that the chivalry are needlessly scared. *Some Democratic journals' state that in 1850 the Republican ticket had a plurality of eighty thousand over the Buchanan tioket, and in view of the result' of the recent elec tion, infer that the Republicans since the presidential election have lost eighty thousand in the State. Do not these journals know, that in 1850, there were three tickets in the Sold, and that the combined American and Democratio vote had a majority of forty thousand over the'Republican ? Considering that the Americans and Democrats combined at the recent election on a part of the late ticket, we can say with safety, that the Re publicans have gained forty thousand since fifty six on the Americans and Democrats. lir GEN.

THE LEHIGH REGISTER, NOVEMMR 23,1859. e Our COngressuutn. Elect- The Hon; Henry C. Longueeker, our Con gremmen elect, leaves for Washington on Monday neat to take hie seat in the coming Congress. Our worthy representative will do all in his power to effect such: a change of the tariff, as will restore life to. our• languishing manufacturing interests. Whether much , can be effected: as yet, owing to• Demoeratie ascen dancy in the Federal Government, is doubt ful.. We must work and struggleon,however, in hope of the better time coming. TARIFF U TIM Soora.—We• clip the fol lowing from a Southern paper szpressiver of the position of the South on the tariff clues- Sion. it wilt be eeen, that in the• South there seems to be no. doubt as to-the Democratio party south-being in favor of free trade. "The Pennayisanian,. the leading Adminis tration. Democratic organ in Penneylvanis r says that the assertion 'the Democratic party of the nation is in favor Of FREE TRADE IS FALSE.' And it declares that Mr. Butter's re r cent exposition of the Tariff views of the Democratic party in Massacb.usetts, is the re cognised creed of the Democratic party in Pennsylvania. This may all be so. Bat it is equally evident that the Democratic party of the South is in favor of the free trade—end that Mr. Butter's views on the Tariff are re pudiated by the party in the. South. $lO,OOO REWAIID.—Joshua R. Giddings hay ing openly declared himself a Traitor in a lecture at Philadelphia, on the 28th of Octo ber, and there being no prOcess, strange to say, by which ho can be brought to . justice, I ro ppose to be one of - the one htmdred to raise $lO,OOO for his safe delivery in Richmond, er $6',000 for the production of his head. I do not regard this proposition, extraordinary as it may at first seem, either unjust or IMMO , aft/. Tho law of God and the Constitution of his country both condemn him to death. For satisfactory reasons I withhold my name from the public, but it is in the hands of the Editor of The Richmond Whig. There will be no difficulty, I am sure, in raising the $lO,OOO upon a reasonable prospect of getting the said Giddings to this city. Richmond; Nov. 1 1859. THE TOBACCO FIELDS Or CONNECTICUT I I VALLEY.-A correspondent of the Boston (Or thodox) Recorder, speaking of a recent visit to Northampton, Massachusetts, says " flat ' old serpent, the Devil, found his way into the first Paradise,to poison and cor rupt the minds of Adam and Eve, thereby ' bringing death into the world, with all our woe,' as John Milton expressos it. So into thisparadiscal territory of Northampton and the adjacent regions, a serpent has found. its corrupting way, to poison the bodies of men and injure, ere losig, the otherwise rich and luxuriant soil, greatly to the grief of the bet ter portion of the inhabitants, the friends of physical and moral purity. I refer to the culture of that vile, noxious, disgusting weed, tobacco. It paned my heart to see a crop thereof near the centre of the town, in close proximity to a dear friend's per manent abode, almost as much as it did to hear of a young man, a clergyman's son, one of the first to be placed in the new insane hos pital there, whose intellect had been shattered and reason dethroned through the excessive use of this poisonous and deadly. stuff. Where is the Rev. George Trask, the apostle of the ' anti-tobacco enterprise? He 'still lives,' as We learn from a tract lately issued from his depository at Fitohburgh, entitld 'An A_p peal to a Deacon who raises Tobacco on the Banks of the Connecticut.'" A FIFTH AVENUE LADY BUYING Booas.—A correspondent of the Newport News tolls the following anecdote: A certain New York lady, whom I shall call Mrs. X. recently . had the gdod luck to come into the possession of a handsome fortune. No soonerliad this agreeable change in her condition been effected, than sho immediately had a "loud call" from the direction of Fifth avenue, and yielding to the tempter, prevailed upon her - husband to abandon his calling as a purveyor in provisions and fish, and to purchase a residence in that aristocratic neighborhood. In due time her house was furnished in a style of magnificence which vied with "the very best." Keeping her eyes open for every new improvement she recently discovered that " it was about the right thing" to have books, and desirous of being up with the fashion at once ordered an elegant rosewood book-case and started out to purchase the material whore with it was to be filled. . Provided with a diagram illustrating the dimensions of the library—the length, breadth and height of the shelves, and so on—she call ed upon ono of our largest publishers, and handing an astonished clerk the measure, told him she "wanted the pootiest books he'd got —them with rod backs, and to be sure and make them all fit the librarium." With this the lady moved away as majestically as a full blown turkey-cook under full sail. In due time the books went, but such was the novelty of the order that, in exercising hie test, the clerk had selected some a little too long, others too short ; some bound in Russia, some in Turkey, some in calf ; while the colors of the collection were as variegated as the hues of the rainbow. This didn't suit, and a day or two brought the whole batch book, Mrs. X, following close upon them, looking as if she had been poured into gorgeous clothes; like a candle, in a state of liquefaction, and had then " set. " ".I sent yer books back," said she, " bemuse I told ye to make 'am all of ono color, and them ain't no more alike than a parcel of nigger babies is like white children. "But madam," ventur ed the clerk, " we supposed there were some particular works you would like to have."— ' No!' said she, with an emphasis as if she were dictating to her cook, " I dont care what's in 'em, all I want is books to fill them shelves that has got red backs, and will look genteel in my new librarium. There was no mistaking that order, and this time the"red backs" wont; and are probably now adorning one of our " homes of art, taste and refinement." Think of it, ye shades of Shakespeare, Burns, Moore and brother worth ies, your bran bought by the square inch ! But such is life. THZ MISSING PREAOHER.—It turns out that the Rev. Mr. Keesley, of Greansburgh, Penn sylvania, whose disappearance was noticed the other day, eloped with a grass widow, named Minnie Sarver, with whom it is alleged he had been in improper eorrespondenee for some time before. , The parties, it is thought, started for Canada though thus far no traces whatever of their whereabouts have been discovered.— Kew)leywaa a married man, and previous to the affair stood high iu the estimation of the uyinumuiry. fAtttro front mg lalcondain fjoitti, NO. 11. The Mani e of Our County and the Des tiny of the Republiattn Party. Whatever may be the result of next year's , election, ne intelligent and obeerving mind will contradiet me asserting that an over whelming triumph of the measures we advo cate; and the a r . destruction of the par ty whose winci capital is made u.p of pre judice against e colbred man, and the name it falsely bears, are beyond peradventure in the future. There can be no. doubt that the . next census will piresent an argument against slavery which will compel attention at the South se well as at tire North, en argument which no sophistry can evade and no denial brook the force of, that will show the empti ness of all threats of disunion, and exhibit the boastful slave power weak and dependent —stripped alike of all its pretensions, and its controlling influence. In the calculations whieh I propose to Tay before your readers I shall contne myself to the white population, I for notwithstanding the political influence which the master derives from hie slaves as an element of real power, as a means of growth and progress, the slaves are of little more im portance than the cattle themselves, and there is as much propriety in predicting a vote upon the ex as upon the human chattel that drives him. In 1850 the white population of the , Free States was 13,233,670 against 6,184,477 in the Slave States, and notwithstanding the votes given for the slaves, the relative ..wer of the North was greater than thee& .8 I indicate, because of the more general ..iroer tion and the greater intellectual activity of her people. The population of Illinois in 1850 I was £146,034. Now the State is estimated to contain a population of 1,750,000. These are significant Spires, for other Western States and Territories have made as great, and in some instances greater progress and it is cer tain that no result ever approximating this will be shown in returns from any of the Slave States, except Texas and Missouri, and when the character of the emigration •to the two latter is taken into consideration, it will ap pear that a very large proportion of the popu lation must be counted for freedom so that their growth has weakened Tested of strength , ened slavery. We may then with confidence look forward to an astonishing change in the population in favor of the Free States, which the next census will demonstrate beyond a doubt. ,We can safely estimate that the cen sus report of 1860, if we include that portion of the population of Missouri and Texas which eympadirice with- free institutions, will show i about 20,000,000 as the strength of the Free States against about 8,000,000 in the Slave' States. And this proportion of twenty to eight will by no means exhibit the actual rela-1 tive strength of the two divisions, for the wealth and the intelligence, the activity, the enter prise, the skill, the power of machinery, the ability to create wealth, these are all in favor of the North - for beyond the ratio of population. The whole number of Representatives at present is 237, Senators 66—If Kaneas be ad mitted at the next session of Congress, the whole number of electoral votes in the rand Presiden tial contest will be 306. Of these •the Free States have 186, the Slave States 120. Now if any one will take the trouble to make a calcula tion, on the basis of the next census, he will find that the Representatives and Senators, combined and consequently the electors, (in cluding even the slave representation,) will stand about 200 from the Free States against, 100 from the Slave States. And this we think will settle, beyond dispute, every great question in regard to slavery, and the whole subject will very' soon asume new aspects.— The political sceptre is already smitten from the hand of the slave-power, and the coming census will be a public official announcement that it has abdicated its throne. The ambi tious politician must henceforth fix his eye upon the North, and mark the boat of the pulse of freedom. The premonitions of this change are every day becoming more marked and sig nificant, and when in the re pert of the next reckoning of our people, the North shall be hold her overpowering strength and the South shall see her comparative weakness, the tone and the policy of both sections will be mate rially changed. Whatever the temper and aims of the great divisions of the country from that time may be, there will be abundant food for thought. It will then be seen that after an experiment of more than three quer- tars of a century, the North, which started at, a disadvantage, has, with her free institutions, ' reached to nearly twice and a half the white population of the South with her slave insti tutions. It will be then for the . North to con sider, whether, with the political power com pletely in her own hands, she will suffer the government to be contro lled hereafter, as it has hitherto been, by every caprice of southern propagandists, or whether the policy, (the pol icy of the Fathers of the Republic,) which alone can make the nation truly groat and prosperous, shall henceforth be.pursued. It will then also bo important for the Slave States to consider whether they will still cling to a system which has been a drawback andl hindrance to their progression on every side, which has stripped them of their power and brought upon them weakness and disgraCe.— When this time arrives, the sentiments of Edward Bates, of Missouri, one of the purest statesman the South ever possessed, it is to be hoped, will be taken into consideration by the Southern States, as pointing to the most effi cient and salutary solution of the problem.— The sentiment alluded to is fore-shadowed in the St. Louis Evening News, as an authorita tive statement, and does honor to so noble and far-seeing a statesman as Mr. Bates : "The entire function of the Federal Gov ernment in regard to Slavery, in his opinion, should be to protect it whore it is,—not extend it where it is not—and, so far as policy and ability may allow, to help those States get clear of it that may wish to do so, by the procurement of ,foreign territory suitable to the ready and cheap colonization of free blacks." _ " SALZBURG." _ THE USE OT DR.
