KELPIIR'S BOOK.
In'order that our readers, who have not had
an opportunity of reading the above work, the
distmeeion of whose merits has thus far en
gaged almost the entire. attention, of the Dom
wrath members of the present House of Rep
resen'tSliyes
; at Washtngton, may 'form some
idea of' Oa contents, we deem it proper to give
.nn ontline,pf its argument. The Author is a
;'Person born and reared'in the South, who is
opposed to the existence of the Institution of
Slavery .% The book furnishes the reasons for
his position, and is more particularly address
ed to itis fellow citizens of the South: The
morslend religious aspects of the question are
not given and the people of the South are called
on tt! aid in the emancipation of the slaves,
becinufe the interests of the white population
would be .furthered by the change. The main
body of the work is filled with statistics gath
ered from the census reports of the Govern
ment and other sources, showing how the Free
State, have outstripped the Slave States in all
the elements of prosperity, and have steadily
advanced to wealth, greatness and power,
-whilst Slavery as an incubus has weighed down
all efforts at progress in the South. A coml
parison is drawn between the several States.—
In 1790 Virginia had double the population
of New York ; in 1850 the population of Vir
ginia was not half that of New York. In
1790 the exports of New, York amounted to
$2,565,465; those of Virginia amounted to $3,-
130,865. In 18i0 the exports of New York
amounted io $87,484,456 ; the exports of Vir
ginia the same year amounted only to $2,724,-
657. In 1790 the exports of Now York and
Virginia were about equal. In 1850 the im
ports of New York amounted to $178,290,999,
whilst those of Virginia for the same year
e i mounted only to $399,004. In 1850 the pro
ducts of the manufacturing and mechanical arts '
in New York amounted to $237,597,259 ; those
of Virginia, amounting to $29,705,387. At
the taking of the last census the value of
real and personal property in Virginia, in
-61tallg negrees' was $398, 646,437 ; that of
New York was $1,080,309,216. Like compar
isons are drawn between other States with
like damaging results to the argument, which
would sustain the divinity of slavery, and mag
nify the blessings of the peculiar institution.
Whilst the Southern States have nothing but
agriculture to'boast of, it is established that' ,
the hay crop of the. North exceeds the aggre
gregate value of all the cotton, tobacco, rive,
• hay and hemp production in the fifteen South
ern States. •A like parallel is drawn between
the growth of Northern and Southern cities.
Slavery, it is proven, depreciates the vnlue of
" land, and clogs manufactures. The force of
this array of facts is strengthened by numer
ous quotations of the opinions of loading men
• of the South, the Washingtons, the Jeffersons,
the Maisons, the Randolphe, and Clays of
former days, of leading Statesmen of the
Noithern Skites, the Franklins, the Adiuns,
. aid the Wasters, so distinguished in.our an
nals—of distinguished men of the old world,
both of ancient and modern times, and of lead
theologians, of all denorninations.of Christians.
Whilst statistics thus show the South to have
become inferior to the North under the influence
ofa system. which their leading politicians
• now so fondly cherish, the History of thocoun
. try is referred to, showing how the friends of
slavery have monopolized the government of
the country, securing more than their share'
in the choice of Presidente,,Cabinet officers,
,Judges of the Supreme Courts and Federal.
• ofßoWs, all for the purpose of perpetuating 'al
system, on which the testimony of the ages and
of nations has fixed its seal of condemnation.
The facts and statistics of the work are im-;
pregnable and challenge consideration.—
Whilst to the people of the States under
mne constitution is left the legal decision of .
the question, how the institution of slavery ia•
• to, be disposed of, we are not disposed to
be indifferent spectators of the solution of this
problem, and when the strong arm of the Fed-1
oral Government is invoked - to carry slavery
into the territories, over which the protecting
arm of the Federal Government should be ex
tended, we arinotto be drawn from the consid
' Om of our rights, ourinterests and our duties
gist cry of indifference of a Northern Dough-1
• 'Democrat, exlcaiming in the language of
, "Am I my brother's keeper." So far
e opinions of Mr. Helper are concerned,
• not prepared to endorse all of them,
a free land one man has a right to his
sas well as another; His language at
aybe harsh and hie opinions rash, and
• can exercise opr liberty'et differing.
e work itself, it is well worthy of per
few wild regret the cost of a copy or
ant in its examination.

The present method of receiving, keeping
and disbursing the public money is' unsafe,
and safeguards aro recommended. A number
of public institutions are commended to the
Legislature. The editor of the Colonial Rec
ords has completed an index of the whole
work. Class legislation is discouraged, and
the practice of sending a large number of bills
to the Executive at the close of the session is
reproved. Twenty-three bills are returned for
reconsideration.
The financial condition of the General Gov

The Seceding Students
In the City Counoil of Richmond, Va., on
the 27th, there were submitted for considera
tion two resolutions appropriating five thou-
sand dollars to pay the expcsues of the medi
cal students who have left or shall leave the
colleges of Philadelphia and New York cities.
A debate of some longth ensued, in the course
'''of which the resolutions were opposed by two
physicians, the only medical men who were
members of the Council. One of these gentle
men, Dr. Mills, uttered the following manly
speech :
" Dr_ Mills, accustomed as he was to seeing
the public money—drawn from the people by
taxation-squandered and misapplied, was com
pletely tenon by surprise in this movement.—
Aro the Southern students paupers, are they
mendicants, that the city should be called upon
to pay their expenses ? Have they no parents,
no geardians, that this charity is to be offered ?
And if the Council have charities to bestow,
are there not worthy' objects in our midst to
receive it? He did not like that word in the
resolution, constrained.' Hovr were they con
strained to leave the Northern colleges? He
had seen no 'action there to constrain them to
leave. True, abolition meetings had been held
in the north, but abolition meetings have been
frequently held there for years past. When
he was a student similar, meetings were hold,
but he did not feel constraineditp return home
by any such. action. If there were other rea
sons for this eonstraent, he had not heard
what they were, and should like to be inform
so. He thought the movement a bad one, in
asmuch as it might tend to widen the breach
between the north and south, and was oppos
ed to any action that would make any citizen
feel himself to be an alien in any part of this
country. He was for union and for harmony.
Dr. M. complimented the faculty for their lib
erality towards the southern students, and de
clared that no man would more rejoice than
himself to see the medical college permanently
established here ; but he was not willing to
vote away the public money for that purpose,
unless the city would have some handin its di
rection and management."
Southern Violence,
Newspapers daily bring to our attention
of violence in Southern States, which can
scarcely be believed possible under a Repub
lican form of government. Northern news
papers are not allowed circulation through
Southern Post-Offices. Men for holding and
expressing opinions on the subject of slavery are
tarred and feathered. In another column will
be found an account of an Irishman, who late
ly was shamefully treated, because he happen
ed to make a remark, which did not tally with
the opinions of the Slave-drivers. The latest
act of violence is the expulsion from Kentucky
of twelve families, who were notified by an
armed body of men to leave the country.—
Their offence wait, that they hold to the opin
ion, that slavery was an ovil. They are re
ported to be a class of peaceable, inoffensive
citizens, religiously inclined. They called on
the Governor of Kentucky for aid, and*receiv
ed the reply, that no aid could be given. They
were compelled to leave suddenly, leaving all
their property behind them. What will be
come of it, as yet, there is no tolling.
BOARD 07 RIVENUE COMMISSIONERS.—This
board was established by act approved April.
29, 1844. The first meeting was held in
1845. It lim regularly met every third year
since, viz: 1848, 1851 0 1854, 1857. The State
Trepailurer has notified tho several President
' judges of the Commonwealth, that the board
will meet in Harrisburg, on Tuesday, Feb. 2d
1860. Ile has also forwarded to each board of
county commisoners blank forms, to be filled
up and returned y them, as required by the
thirty-seventh 5, ttion of the act creating said

p a t ,of the . Presidents Message, relating to the
subject of slavery, SoUthern Senators alleged
that Slavery was the proper sphere of the ne
gro, and that the Southern slaves surpassed
ntiorally, intellectually and, physfcally any
other class of laborers on the face of the,glolie.
In the House Mr. English undertook to de
fend his course en tAte English , bill,. Mr.
, •
:Anderson (Dom.) of Missouri proposed that
the ,Ireompton and Anti z Lecompton Demo
crata'and Southern Americans would' unite to
organize the Ilona° order to relieve the mail
contractors. Stevens, (Rep.) of Pennsylvania,
remarked that stich - a meeting would resemble
the :happy family—the owl, the rattlesnake
and prairie wolf, all in one hole. Their being
a number of Democratic absentees, unpaired,
speeches were made to present a vote and the
House adjourned.
JANUARY 4th.—ln the Senate, Mr. Mason of
Virginia defended the use of the word servile,
as applied to the free states. The term_Free
should not be applied to the Northern States.
The Southern States are called Slave States be
cause slaves are owned in them. The free
states should be called the servile states, be
cause, of the existence of a servile class, the
laboring class.
In the House after a debate on the subject of
the selection of a temporary chairman, and the
slavery question, a ballot was had for Speaker
showing Sherman to lack three of a majority.
Sherman received one hundred and one votes.
*he next highest number of votes polled was
Mr. McClerland of Illinois, who received thirty
three votes.
. _
JANUARY sth.—ln the Senate but little was
done. Mr. King (Rep) of New York presen
ted a petition praying' for the passage of a
homestead bill.
In the House Mr. Montgomery, (dem.) of
Pennsylvania, undertook to bring forward a
resolution' that the. House elect temporOl
chairman for one day in order to passage th
Post Office appropriation bill and relieve the
mail contractors. Mr. Stevens, (Rep.) of Pa.,
showed that the House could do nothing of the
kind, as present laws require, that the speaker
should be first elected and then administer the
oath to the clerk and the members before the
House could proceed to business, and that the
House unorganized could not repeal existing
laws. -.The remainder of the day was consum
ed without ballot in controversies among the
Anti-Lecompton Democrats, John Heckman,
ono of their number, from Pennsylvania, tak
ing the position, that such as were elected by
Republicans, should vote for Sherman for
Speaker. He was willing to do so, although
he was elected against both the Democratic
and Republican organizations.
JAAUARY oth.—Senate not in session.
In the House Mr. Miles (Dem.) of South
Carolina, made a lenthy speech recommending
a temporary organization, in order to pass
pressing appropriation bills, and:then that
members resign, in order to have a new elec
tion for the purpose of testing the sense of the
country. A ballot resulted in 109 votes for
Sherman, three less than a majority. Mr Mc-
Clerland of Illinois reeeived 37 votes, being the
next highest number of votes cast.
STEVENS AND lIAZIATT,--TWO more Or the
prisoners arrested an account of the Harper's
Ferry affair are awaiting their trials. In re
gard to the trial of Stevens, his counsel, in
Boston, has received the followink letter frnin
District Attorney Hunter:
CHARLESTOWN, Dec, 24, 1559.
GEORGE SENNOTT, 'Dear Sir : I have
yours of the 20th inst. The authorities of Vir
ginia have definitely settled that Stevens is to
be tried here ; and, as previously requested by
Mr. Buchanan, I have su Informed him. When•
the trial will come 1) ff I am unable to say at
present—but presuming it willalse some time
(luring the winter, probably during the next
month, but this is by no means certain.
When it is ascertained, I will with pleasure
cause yon to be notified.

Stevens is an intelligent and powerful-built
young man of 2R years, who formerly belong
ed to Norwich, Conn. He was badly wounde d
during the Idtack on the armory, when he was
dangerodsly shot, receiving five balls in his
body, three of which the surgeons could not
extract. He was next in command under
Capt. John Brown, and acted as drill-master in
place of Col. Forbes. He is to be tried on the
same charges as Brown, and their mutual con
fidential relations were such that, at Brown's
request, Stevens occupied the same cell with
him throughout his imprisonment.
A German Edition of the above work, which
is now making so much stir in the country,
will soon be issued from the press, and an op
'portunity will be affirded to such as prefer to
read German, to become acquainted with the
contents of this valuable and interesting work.
Let there be light. Let all opinions be listen

there is no maintaining a half-way neutral
position between the Administration Democ
racy and the Opposition.
EXODUS OF NEGROES.-A large number of
negriies lately arrived at Cincinnati from Ar
kansas. Tho legislature of 'Arkansas have
lately passed a law, that all free negroes, re
maining in the State on the first of April,
1860, will be sold into 'slavery, Hence their
departure. Among the emigrants Were a num
pf wives, who were compelled to leave their
husbands behind, who wore slaves.
Hit.csi.—lt is stated that the publication of
the debates in Congress, in the Southern press,
his created a groat demand' for . the Helper

Southern mombers, and under cover of their
own franks, as the postmasters would seize them.

celebrated the Anniversary of the battle of
New Orleans, on Monday the gth inst., (the Bth

streets of our Borough. The military display
was d , best that has been witnessed in our
town 14 some time. All the companies were
strong inpumbers, were handsomely rigged,
and drilled most excellently. The great fea
tures °Film occasion was the appearance of the
Allen Infantry. This company have lately
purchaped it new, uniform, and is Composed of
\e,tarelSr new members. The pantaloons are
gray, with black stripes, a dark frock coat,
witk black epaidetts mixed with yellow, and
yellow trimmings, and the hat mounted with
a yellow pompom), tipped with, black. The
Infantry numbered about forty men, are aline
looking set of fellows, and drilled as well as
any newly organized company, we have ever
seen. Captain Yeager and his men deserve
the'highest praise for the attention they have
paid to drilling, and can well be proud of their
appearance and manoeuvring on monday last.—

finely.
