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. A Tory
striking confirmation of this opinion ap
pears in an examination of tlio official
reports of tho Secretary of tho Treasury
in regard to tho exports and imports for
tuo last nvo years. TUcy aro as toiiows :

It is evident by theso figures that thero
has been a balanco of trado in our favor
for every ono of tho Pas' Co yjars, and
that in that time it has reached tho sum of

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. This difference is met by indirect market places. Homo gatherings, social
tixcs and the payments of tho Pennsylva-1 parties, family-mcctings,sumptuous dinners-
nia Railroad for tho Publio Works. Our ;
debt is heavy, but it is thus becoming
lighter every day.
Passaqe of the Pacific Railroad
Bill. 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. It
also provides for a road from tho western
border of the Southwestern Statos.starting
from two points, namely, from Fort Smith
aud from tho western border of Louisian.
n.i, with two converging lines bearing
westward, aud uniting with tho Southern
Pacific Railroad chartered by Texas.

It was tho good fortuno of tho writer,
on last Sabbath, to hear two most eloquent
and impresivo Union Sermons delivered in
this City. Ono by Dr. Clarke, of the
Central Presbyterian Church, in Eighth
Street, and the other, by the Rev. Alfred
Cooknjan, of tho Fourth Street M. E.
Union Church. Like tho Rev. John
Chambers, whoso "Thanksgiving Sermon"
wo last week published in tho ( olumbia
Democrat, theso gentlemen, in imitation of
tho precepts and practice of their Divine
Master, labor for the inculcation of "peace
on earth and good will to men." How
different is it with many others whoso mis-
jjon, it would seem, U to foment discord
and division. And how truly did Mr.
(Jhambcrs, portray tho evil tendencies of
such fanatics, when he said, "I bclievo, as
firmly as I do in Eternity, that if the
American Pulpit had dono its duty, th'u
Nation would now be at peace."

arrostcd by national repentance. 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.

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

Dcnr Sir. I havo read your letter

Ucr auspices tar moro liopelul tuan any
. ...... I
that now exist as, amongst oilier tbings,
mv published letters to Mr. Sumner, Mr,
Seward and Mr. Breckinridge -may attest.
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.
It is hardly worth whilo to say that
Kentucky is, aud always has been, thor
oughly for tho Union, aud that no man
in it is moro devoted to it than Mr. Breck
inridge himself. 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.
