COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT LEVI L. TATE, i EDITOR. BLOOMSBURG, PA. SATURDAY MORNINa, DECEMBER 24, I860. Dr. UK. Stock, a M. of C. Wo aro gratiCcd to learn, as will also be thousands of his friends hero and else where, that our friend and lato fellow citizen, M. Steck, 51. V., of Mifllinvillc.Co- lutubia county, who has for the past sever al years filled tho position of Indian Agent, at Santa Fe, Now Mexico, under the General Government, with distinguish ed ability, was on the Gth of November elected a Dolcgato to Congress from tho Territory of Arizona. Dr. Steck is a sound National Democrat, and possesses tho ability of making an efficieut and influential representative in tho National Congress. For tho foregoing welcome information, wo ara indebted to his notes of private correspondence, with our pleas ant friend F. C. Harrison, 31. 1)., of Bloomsburg. Doath of Henry M. Fullor. Tho Hon. Henry M. Fuller, former ly a Representative of this District in Congress, died on Wednesday morning last, at his residence in Philadelphia. He was in tho 41st year of hu ago. Few publio men had moro devoted friends than Mr. Fuller and his unexpected death will bo generally lamented. Tho Philadelphia Evening Journal, closes a feeling obituary on Mr. Fuller's death, in words subjoined : From tho time Mr. Fuller entered into political life, ho withdrew himself very "much from the pursuit of his profession as a lawyer, and for tho last few years ha been actively engaged in the manufacture ofironattho Montour Iron Works, in Montour County. As a man of business, he was distinguished for tho same sagaci ty, industry, and integrity which had characterized his public career. We have time to-day to add no moro in reference to this estimable citizen, except that his I disease, at, nrsi supposed cone ouiy a uaru eold, contracted some two weeks since, ran into a typhoid fever that defied tho best medical skill, and under which he rank, until he closed his eyes in death this morning, in tho full faith of a Crucified Redeemer at peaeo with God and in charity with all men. Wo understand that his funeral will take place on Friday next, at ' o'clock, if. from ui3 lato residence, at Chest nut and Sixteenth streets, and that his body will be removed to. Wilkosbarrie for burial, by the afternoon train of tho Read ing Railroad. The Legislature of Vermont has refused to repeal tho Personal Liberty act of that State. The vote to repeal was 58, (25 Republicans, 33;Demoer'ats;) tho voto against repealing were 125, (all Republi cans. If any thing wero wanting to prove that the Republieau party of tho North, ii. a? a mass in favor of a dissolution of the union, their courso in relation to tho repeal of tho personal libcry bills would amply clear tho point. From tho announcement by Mr. Lincoln, that "this union could not endure half freo and half slave," till now ; his party friends h,ive been doing their best to prove the Holper Book, sending John Brown into Virginia, passing personal liberty bills, stealing slaves, and other sayings and do ings of tho same general character. And in all this timo they havo neither dono nor caid anything to calm tho justly excited state of the public mind. 0r County Orders. Jno. A. Funs ton-, Esq., tho very efficient Treasurer of Columbia County, wo understand, 'pays all County Orders in cash, and is anxious that overy out-standing order bo imuie diatcly presented for redemption. Mr. Funston is desirous of having tho obliga tions of tho County entirely cancelled prior to tho Annual Settlement of the Auditors and Commissoners, which take plaoo on tho first week in January. Wo congratulate tlio Tax payer? of Columbia county, upon tho important fact, that our county is oul-cf.debt, with money to spare, and that our finanoial condition is better now than at any previous timo during the last twtnty years, an epoch inaugurated by tho lato Treasurer, James S. Mo- Nincii, Esq., and consummated by Mr Treasurer Funston. TnE Legislature. Tho Stato Legis lature will assemble at llarrisburg on Tuesday noxt. A Stato Treasurer will bo elected on the 8th of January, and a U. Si Senator (to succeed Mr. Bioler) on tho 15th of January, when tho now Governor, will also be inaugurated. The secession will doubtless bo a very interest ing one, in. view of tho National difficulties with which wo aro surrounded, as well as the finat cial embarrassments growing out of those troubles. Wo shall endeavor to keep our readers advised of every thing of importance that transpires. The Comino Year. Tho year 1801 will bo tho first' of tha OOCth Olympiad. Thero will bo an annular eclipse of tho sua on tho 11th of January, another on tho 7 ti of July, and a total eclipse on the 31st of Deoembcr Thero will also-be a partial eclipso of tho moon on tho 17th-of December. Tlio Balanco of Trado. Tho liullitin has steadily maintained that tho business relations of tho country aro now good, and that tho panic, except for political reasons, is absurd.

If politics can bo kept in some scn-iblo position the country must right itself in a short timo Philadelphia Evening Uulhlin, A few weeks ago wo gavo our readers an article from tho Bulletin as ono saniplo of tho chango of tone coming over tho Republican press; and for tho purposo of putting on record more fully tho admis sions of those falso politicians and prophets, who, beforo an election prato only of dis aster i and after tho eud is served admit the falsehood of their electioneering articles, and for once publish tho truth. Tho abovo articlo confirms our former position. During tLo wholo of Mr. Bu giianan's administration tho balance of trado has been in our favor ; conceded now by a Republican paper, but heretoforo constantly denied by tho whole party. What faith can bo placed in tho assertions of their papers or orators, when in a few months they themselves admit their utter falsity ? Wo hope the people of Columbia county will bear these things in mind. In order to prove the fact, that tho balanco of trado is in our favor, tho Bulletin publishes and wo copy, for tho reasons assigned above, an articlo, "Spccio Coming Back," and to i which also wo direct tho attention of our readers. Theso aro significant concessions, and we mean that they shall not bo lost sight of. Remember them. TnE Finances of Pennsylvania. Wo congratulato our readers, among all tho causes of trouble, upon the bright exhibit made by tho Auditor General of 1 Pennsylvania. Nearly S700,000 has been paid into tho sinking iund during tho year ending November 30th, and the State debt has been reduced by that amount. Ihis has been accomplished while an equal sum ( of 8700,000 remains in tho Treasury ready . for the February interest, Tho interest payable by tho Stato is gradually sinkiug under tho operation of our admirable fiuaucial system. 1 Ins year it is reduced to 1,931,205. 5he direct j tax is reduced to 81,444,074, or nearly j half a million below tho interest of tho T debt.

Tho House of Representatives, on Thursday, by a voto of 05 to 70, passed Mr. OurtW VaclQo lUVWd UU. It pro- vides that tho road shall start from tho western border of Missouri and western border of Iowa, with two converging lines bearing westward, united within two hundred miles of tho Missouri river,thenco proceeding by a singlo trunk lino by tho nearest and best route, via tho vicinity of Salt Lake, to San Francisco, or to tho navigable waters of the Sacramento.

God seems now to bo holding a controversy l with us and doubtless is about to chastise us, and in this time of our extremity, when tho wisest and purest heads have failed to avert or reconcile our difficulties, wo should follow tho example of tho Ncnivitcs, and havo reoourso to humiliation and prayer, trusting that God may turn from tho fierceness of hh auger and savo us from tho impending doom that seems to hang over us. From many examples which wa havo in Holy writ, we find that repentanco and prayer has done what kings and counsellors could not do. How important then that every American citizen observe tho Fourth day of January, 1801, in the manner that has been recommended by tho President cf tho United States. It is to bo hoped, that this " llecommer.tlation" will bo heralded by Telegraph and Press, as if it were a Proclamation into every corner of this vast country and that the Gospel Ministers impressed with tho true idea may fores it upon tho minds of their hearers. If the nation is united and earnest in this matter, God may yet look upon us with favor and dispel tho clouds that hang over our political sky and settle the differ ences of opposing sections by bringing them to see eye to eye and unite us-in tho bonds of friendship and our country shall yet bo tho home of bravo freeman and an asylum for the oppressed and Bhall still stand a check upon wrong, and accomplish the great mission to which the God of nations has assigned her. T. W. E. Spocio CoirtluG Back. It will be seen that the course of specie is beginning to be reversed. It is comiug back from Europe. The reason is that the supply of exchange to bo drawn against exported produce has been very large, and tho confusion in tho money market and want of confidence has prevented this ex chango from being merchantable. Hence a considerable part was not taken by ban kers, and the debt against England which is thus accumulating is being paid in specie. It may seem odd, at first view, but it is truo that a slower export will relievo tho country, for this reason, that it will lessen tho demand for exchange. Just now do mestic aud foreign exchango are in bad condition, owing to tho want of confidence, which latter resulU from political causes, and not proper financial ones. In fact, we aro informed that cotton U going forward more slowly, so that both these causes of relief are beginning to operate. If London can spare the rpecic, and tho shippers on this side can afford to operato more slowly, the blocking of trado approaching a dead look, will bo relieved. It is obvious, from tho above statement, that but for this political madness of the moment, loosening tho bonds of confidence, tho country would bo in a highly prosper, ous condition, jut as the Bulletin has al ways said from tho beginning of this panic. The Nullification Difficulty of 1833 How it was Settled. The po. liticiaus who aro opposed to a compromise of our present sectional difficulty aro con ttautly referring to tho ciisis of South Caroliua nullification of 1833, which,they tell us, was put down by forco by the Government of General Jackson. With out, in tho prcsont connection, referring to tho widely different 6tato of our polili cal affairs now from what thoy wcro then, it is sufficient to say that that difficulty was settled, not by coercion, but by compromise. South Carolina demanded i a rcuress oi grievances ty tno repeal or laodmcationbof lU tar;of le2d M a redress of grievances by tho repeal or boro heavily upon her industry.

All that is left to mo is to stand in my lot, look tho futuro steadily in tho face, and abido whatovcr may come. If the Knrlh insists on usins National Gov ernment to put iJoien Slavery or if the Soutli insists on using it to perpetuate and extend Slavery in cither caso tho con tinuance of tho National Union is impos sible. In other words, thero can bo no union of States except by forco or on equal terms. For nearly ninety years from 1775 till 1800 the public idea of tho in stitution of slavery has found it compati ble with tho union of Colonies and of States. It is no longer so. Tho opinions of men must change, and their passions must moderato, or we must not only di vide, but must afterwards praw tho sword, and, if possible, destroy each other. If God has forsaken lis, our country is wrecked. If God is still gracious to us, a way will bo found to cxtricato it from impeudiug revolution. At present tho human mcann of deliverance seem to me to consist merely in these two great con victions, which, after all, are settled deep ly iu the hearts of men ?.crywhcrc,uaiuc ly : that there aro unspoakablo evils in tho dissolution of the Union, and that there are inestimablo bleisings in its pres ervation I do not see how these couvic tiohs aro to make themselves effectually manifest ; but neither do I see it to be impossible that they should do so. If we can escape immediate convulsions, what will occur, in my opiutou,will bo tho gradual consolidated of the entire South, in one opinion, and upon ono man (proba bly Mr. Breckinridge) by 1801; and the pcrmanont triumph of the Democratic paity in 1864, by means of tho united South, and a ceitaiu portion, more or less considerable, of tlio Northern States. This is the best result I see to be possi ble ; and I who say this niu au old-fash'-ioued Republican of tho school of 1703 a Clay Whig a steadfast Know Nothing aud never yet voted for John C. Breck inridge, though ho has stood towards me nearly in the relation of a sou, since his orphanage in very tender infancy.

Nay, he U ono of the vtry few eminent publio men from whoso lips not even a hypothetical case of justi liable dissolution was ever heard. And tho day may come when tho recompense to his country for tho terrible abuse avished on him n3 a traitor to it will bo the sublimcst exercise of his great, wise aud dauntless naturo in' tho preservation of that very Union which tho passions of men aud tho violence of parties havo put in so much peril I havo departed from my almost uniform habit in taking any notice of your long, earnest aud deeply affecting' letter. Ac cept what I havo said as a proof of my sympathy with tho patriotic spirit your letter breathes, aud as a token of my re spectful consideration' of such special views presented in it as seem to mo erroneous.
