We received a copy of the above work from our townsman, Dr. Hand, who has been sup plying quite a number to• the citizens of the• Borough, who have become anxious to see the work, since its advertisement by Congress.— The work furnishes tables and statistics, show Mg the oomparatiVe growth of the free and slave States, and gives the opinions of the ear ly Statesmen of the country both North and South, on the subject of slavery. Some of' . the views of the Author are• somewhat ex treme, but we can still safely recommend the I work to all.• The facts, figures and statistics of the work are impregnable; We know of no' work on the subject, containing more interest ing information. The recommendation of the• °wend of the work by Sherman is no rear son why he should not be supported for the Speakership by the Republicans of the House. The author of the work is a Southern man, and if its language is somewhat harsh, the heath have to blame one of their. ownitumber. In the North, where there is no censoreship of the Press, and where men see willing to listen to the views of others, whether differing from them or not, we are satisfied thit a ration mendation of the work will not be regarded as en endorsement of all its 'views. Wo could wish, that the work would find a place in every home in the county, satisfied that error can do no harm, where truth is free to com bat it. The Disunion Party. The Democratic party in 1856 pretended to be the great Union party. The success of James Buchanan, it was represented, would alone save the Union. Agairi as another Presidential election approaches, the politi cians of the party are coming to the rescue of this glorious Union. Democratic Union meet ings are to 'be 'hold, and Union meetings not labeled Deinociatie, but really in the intereE: of the Democratic party, have been held. It is only necessary, liewevcr, to ononine the pro oeedings of Congress to be satisfied that the real Disunion party is the PErnecratie party. Republicans utto7 .net a -vz . 7.sti .against the. Union. Amour , Dome-:r frzan the South there is 'scarcely a Senator or member of the Lower House, who makes a speech, who does not threaten disunion. Such is the strength of this feeling in the party, that these treasonable threats pass ,by, with Out a rebuke from a single Democrat from the North. And strange to say Senator Gwin from the free State of California in a speech made in the Senate a few days since, said that if the Republicans were to. elect a President in 1860, the South would dissolve the Union. And yet these traitors arc members of a party, whose Northern allies have the impudence to charge the groat Republican party as being the enemy of the Union. If wo argue that a party is in favor of disunion, because its leaders threatens disunion, then the Democratic party is the great disunion party. KANSAS' ELECTION.—On the 16th ilia.

Messrs. J.. W.. Baood,s.r.. S.. Gibbons,. Samar, Spurhawk and' Rene Gullets,. Committee. Mr DE#rt Sum r—A flew days since I was milled on„ by a portion of your Coiumitiiiet who, after stating their purpose to hold, in this City, a Grand Union Mass Bfeetingi. on Wed nestie.y evening,. the. 7th . requested . ,tu missron to use my name. ire connection, th) with In answer to which,. with the under standing that the meeting was to Beheiriiitli• out distinction as to party organization orpre. dibietions, I very cheerfully gave my eontient to such use of my name, as might be agreeable to the Committee, and' oontrilbute to satisfy the country that the citizens of Philadelphia were as faithful to the integrity of the Union as were. those of any other section of our great and glorious cocifederaey.. I noticed by your advertisement that my name was used as one of the speakers for the occasion, and, accordingly, at such a time du ring the evening as suited my convenience, I repaired to the Hall, for the purpose of ad , ' dressing my fellow citizens on the great sub ject of the Union of the States, and the reapers , sibility of the citizens thereof, one to the other. I found the platform crowded to excess, and af ter waiting some time, was convinced that a certain set of unprincipled politicians who , support the most disgraceful Administration Which eveyhad an existence in this country, had seemingly taken possession of the plat form. Having no disposition to be particular ly identified with such persons, I, of course, retired. I notice, however, by reference to the Penn sytinnian of this morning, the organ of that moat corrupted of all Administrations, that the meeting gotten up under your auspices, is claimed as of Locofoco origin, and in a para graph from the article referred to, it is sug gested that those fictively engaged in the mat ter were influenced and directed by the mpre sentatives in this City of tho Locofoco party. Of course, I could not permit myself, even in the remotest degree, to seem to have a connec tion with any matter' emanating from such a source ; and, as lam quite well convinced that the gentlemen whom I now address are infltr encecl by the same unwillingness, I beg that you will say to me whether or not the article referred to has any foundation in truth. Very truly yours,' J. R. FLANIGAN. But see what the Extremists of the South think of the Conservatives of the North, who got up those meetings, and what thanks are returned. We copy from the Chartesta'n Mer cury the following The angry South must be appeased for the time—protestations must be made, and some body must make them. This part of the job bing falls to the lot of the so-called " Conser vatives." The Conservatives" are a very useful "institation" at the North. They an swer a very good perpose, and are an essen tial part of the Northern policy. They are the very rear-guard of Abolitionism. The Re publican army marches forward to the battle of Abolitionism, and the "Conservatives" cov er their progress by diversions, and parleying, and by-play. We are neither speaking para doxically, nor lightly, nor prejudicially. It is a very grave and momentous fact. We will illustrate our meaning. Tlke Hon. Robert C. Winthrop of Massaohusetts, is a " Conserva tive." The Hon. Robert C. Winthrop was the first g entleman who introduced Abolition peti tions into the House of Representatives. The Hon. Robert C. Winthrop was ejected from his seat in the State, some few years ago, by such a thing as Charles Sumner. The Hon. Robert C. Winthrop declared in Fanenll Hall, in 1854, that his tongue wood cleave to the roof of his mouth, and hie right be lopped from his body, before he would either vote for any measure, or set his hand to any bill, by which Slavery shoilld be allowed to enter another foot of our territories. The Hon. Robert C. Winthrop hi turned out of the Senate because ho is too ' Conservative" a man. Mr. Bverett, and many other distinguished gentlemen at the North, are quite as violent in their oppo sition to Slavery as Mr. Winthrop. But Everett is nowhere—he is ran over—left be hind.:. These gentlemen are " Conservatives." They would not have John Brown & Co. march down on Virginia or Kentucky and create civ il war, and insurrection, and discontett at the South. By no means—the y have discre tion ; they are " conservative" gentlernen.— They would not make the South too restive under their plucking ; they Would not lees their golden eggs by killing , .their goose.— These gentlemen are far too wise—they would only gently legislate you out of all the our 'rounding Territories, whether you will or no ; but 'still gently. They would thus only put a cordon of Free States around you, and then pluek you adlibitum, until settlers from their own States had quietly occupied, by degrees, the border' States—then they would push Slavery still further down toward the Gulf States—then permit ite continuance or not, just as it payed them. , • The difference betiveen the " Conservatives" and the Republicans is just the difference be tween Lucifer and Satan.. Lucifer is a very dietingue looking individual of an indescriba ble age, with a handsome face, brilliant black eyes, a heavy mustache, a sombrerq hat, a Spanish cloak, and a rapier at hie side. He is a courtly gentleman, and never indulges in loud talk, and balderdash, and violence. He would reason with you, and conduct you most politely to the mansions of the unhappy forev er. Satan is a loathsome brute, with contor ted features, blear eyes, a black skin, a• long, forked tail, and claw-feet. Satan would seize you in his claws, drive his forked tail through bou. and drag you to,—, amid stenches of rimstone and sulphur. That all the people of the South are not as insane on the subject of slavery, as those who lord it over the Demeoratic party, can be seen from the following extract from the Baltimore Patriot : • • " We perceive that the Loco-Foco dough-fa nee in Boston, New-York and Philadelphia, propose holding meetings for the purpose of appeasing the wrath of Loooloco disunionist., in the South, at the recent exhibitions of fooj= Joh sentimentalism for John Brown, by a hand ful, here and there, of Abolition dieunioniste in.those cities. If there be any character in the world that we have any contempt for, it is the dirt-eating dough-face of the Free States. He has no real regard whatever for the South and its institution, and yet, under the pretense of sympathy for them, ho will proclaim him self our friend, keeping his eye steadily all the while upon the pecuniary benefit to be de rived therefrom. He will do anything that Southern fire-eaters will require of him, even to licking the very dust off their shoes; and though these •partisans are perfectly aware of his hypocrisy, yet, strange to say, they . affect .to be •ed at the exhibition,.

Escape and Re-capture of Co* and Copple. CHAIM/MOWN, Deo. 15.—At half-past eight o'clock, this evening, two of the condemned prisoners, Cboi and Conde, escaped from the jail, and were fired upon by the sentinels and driven back to prison. They are now in the custody of Sheriff' Campbell. ' The prisoners had mounted the jail wall when they were discovered by the sentinel on the outside, who immediately gave the alarm and fired upon them. Thoy had sawed their manacles asunder with the blade of a Barlow knife, which they had concealed and made into a fine saw. It is ascertained, from their confession, that they have been engaged in preparing for their escape during the last ton days. They made a hole in the wall noar tha wind. w, which they concealed with par.*, !,icittig the bricks they removed under the bod. Upon the alarm being given, they made no resistance, but anrrenuered as soon as they discovered, by the shot of the sentinel, that they were deteoted. The event'has produced•the utmost excite ment here, and all are on the alert. Maj. Gen. Taliaferro is directing everything in per son, and will maintain an uninterrupted super vision of affairs until after the excitement. IT WOIVT Do.—Oae of the members of the State Committee which recently met in Phila delphia and issued the call for • a State Con vention; urges through his paper the great ad vantages to be gained by electing. our whole delegation to the National Convention at once, by, the ,Harrieburg body, and by the indica tion of the choice of the State for the Presiden cy. The main ebject to be accomplished by both of theseyrepositions, of course, is to se cure the nomination of a Pennsylvanian 'for the Presidency. To this there can pi, no jot - ion, provided that Ws the choice of the people—not of the politicians. The only way to ascertain this, is to let the people of each dis trict choose their delegate, and instruct him to suit themselves. If the citizens of any district have a preference for a candidate—even if he is not a Pennsylvanian—let ns give them a chance of saying so, and not Mush them out by the dictum of a State Convention. We of Snobs county go for "popular sovereignty" upon this subject; and•olaiming the right of choice and instruction for ourselves, are will ing to grant the same privilege to others.— Bucks County Intaligencer. • SOUTH CAROLINA LICOISLATURX:--- Washing ton, Thursday, Deo. 15, 1859.—Mr. Whaley, member from Charleston, introduced the fol lowing in the South Carolina Rouse of Repro sentatives on the 12th inst.: " Whereas, Fraternal relations are dissolved between the North and South, the slavehold ing States demanding that the - dissolution. of the Union be consummated, and this state of affairs will probably render a resort to areas necessary.
