Col. J. Button Steele, V. V. of tho
Philadelphia and Rending Hail Hand, has
our thanks for n special favor.
Moonx's Rural New Yorker. TYo
havo received tho new issue twelfth vol
ume and first number of Mooro'a Bu

and new type, and now certainly stands in
tho first ranks of Agricultural Journalism.

Messrs. A. & J. Day, havo disposed of
tho "North Rranoh Demoorat,"to tho Rev.
JJ, D. Emory. Its uamo and politics ar
both to undergo a change. Wc aro not
informed what hue its principles will as
sume, but learn from tho retiring Editors,
that it will be denominated tho ''Wyoming

Election or United States Sena
tor. Tho Legislature of Pcnnsylvania,on
Tuesday lastjClcctcd Edgar Cwa,Esn.,
of Westmoreland, to the Scnalo for sis
years in the placo of Senator Riolkr.
Thcro was a scatbennonfc amongst the Re
publican Buzzards- Judge Wilmot, was
left out in tho cold,with no body tocaro for
him or to see to his futuro welfare.
Our County Statement. Tho Com
lnissioncrs and Auditors, during tho past
week, havo mado out the County State
ment. It exhibits a most gratifying con
dition of tho County Finances. Plenty of
money in tho Treasury, with somo 50,000
duo tho county, and only about 8100 Coun
ty Orders out-standing, and those "scatter
ing promises," Mr. Treasurer Funston, is
ready, waiting and anxious to redeem on
presentation.
An unfortunate politician is our neigh
bor, Dr. John, of tho Republican. Last
spring ho was out in flying colors for Gen.
Cameron for President. But ho clipped
tip. Then ho was for Col. Tazgart, for
Governor. Again ho slipped up. More
recently, ho was for Judgo Wilmot, for
Senator. And again ho slipped up. An
unfortunate dictator, truly, is that same
Doctor John.
N. B. Wo perceivo by his last paper,
that Dr. John, docs not even know tho
name of tho Republican Senator elect. Ho
calls him Edgar A. Cowan. Tho Sena
tor's name is Edgar Cowan.
Gov. Packer's Messaoe. Tho last
Annual Message of Governor Packer to
the Lcgislaturo of Pennsylvania, is a
creditably written and respectable State
Paper. It exhibits a gradual decreaso of
tho Stato debt, and tho sound condition of
tho financial affairs of the Commonwealth.
Except a little evasion of facts, in relation
to tho Fugitivo Slave Law, upon which
question ho should havo exhibited more
candor, his suggestions and recommenda
tions aro mostly opportune, especially
-iu"K'wl,'',-laibUf,aU of a Convention
for tho adjustment of our sebtionardifficul"
tics and meet with general approbation.
A Good Move. Vice President Breck
inridge is understood to havo prepared an
address to tho border slaveholding States,
calling for a Convention representing them,
to meet in Baltimore on the 13th of Feb.
ruary, for tho consideration of their duty
to themselves, and how to prcservo tho
Union in tho current crisis. It is said to
havo been signed already by all tho Sen
ators and Representatives from thoso
States. The call leaves it to tho author!
tics of tho said States how to appoint their
representatives to tho proposed Convcn
tion.
This is an excellent move in tho right
direction, and wo hopo will result in great
good to tho Union. Tho border Slave
StatC3 can do much in tho way of arresting
tho secession movements in tho Gulf States,
and wo trust thcro will bo a hearty re
sponse to tho patriotic suggestion of the
Yico President, not only in the bordor
States, but throughout tho entire South.
David Wilmot. It seems that tho
question which has so long disturbed tho
Republican leaders of this Stato, of who
should represent Pennsylvania in tho
Cabinet of Mr. Lincoln, has been settled
by the President elect summoning Mr.
David Wilmot to Springfield. Tho dis
patch states that Mr. Lincoln called upon
Mr. Wilmot at his hotel immediately after
his arrival, and spent somo faro hours with
him in tho course of tho day. It is grati
fying to know that Wilmot's dovotion to
frco soil principles and long and ardent
hatred of tho South is about to'mcct with
an adequato reward. Mr. Lincoln could
not havo selected a man in tho Stato of

Doatli of Judgo Kline.
, Hon. Peter Kline, ono of tho Asso-
cialo Judges of Columbia county, died at
hit residence in Locust township, on Wed
nesday morning last,of nn affection of the
' heart, in tho 00th year of Li age. Judgo
' was a na''v0 t Berk county, but has
long timo resided in Columbia county, nnd
hold tho rospcctivo offices of Justice of tho
Pcaeo, County Commissioner nnd Associ
ate Judge. Ho was a very worthy citizen,
an honest man and popular officer, and
leaves a bereaved wifo and seven children
to mourn tho prcmaluro departuro of a
kind father and an affectionate husband.
Judio Kline's mortal remains' were on
yesterday Friday interred in tho Catta
wissa burial grounds, followed to their last
resting placo, by nn immonso concourse of
relatives and friends thus attesting their
respect for tho memory of ono of whom
it may truly bo said :
"Nona knew him but to lore htm.
Hone named him bat to praise."
The Vacant Judgship.
Samuel Creasy, Esq., of Mifliinvillo,
and Stephen Bald y, Esq., of Cattawissa,
wo understand, aro applicants to Governor
Packer for tho position mado vacant on the
Columbia County Bench, by tho demiso of
Judgo Kline. Mr. JiMy held this station,
somo years ago, by appointment, and sub
sequently was nominated and defeated by
Judgo AYillito. Mr. Creasy in an cstima
blo citizen and has never enjoyed cither the
honors or emoluments of a seat upon the
Bench of Justice.
Gov. Packer must make tho decision
betwixt tho two applicants for tho appoint
nient.
Appointments by tho Commissioners.
Counsl.-,I no. Or. Freeze, of Hloomsburg.
Clerk. Robert C. Fruit, of Jersoytown.
Mercantile Appraiser. Samuel Rim

Tho foregoing appointments, for the
current year, will reflect credit upon tho

a favorite with the people of Columbia
county; Mr. Fruit is a worthy young
gentleman and has proven to be a very ef
ficient Secretary, and our friend, Capt.
Rimbey, is all of a clover fellow, and will
mako a competent officer.

Additional mail facilities aro needed

Post, is interesting for tho historical facts
it recalls, and tho forcible mannorin which
it sets forth tho duties and powers of tho
President, under tho constitution, as ap
plicable to tho present threatening condi
tion of tho country :
Certain pcoplo at tho North will insist
that the United States government is a
military despotism, and that President
Buchanan lias all the powers of tho Shah
of Persia to seize andiinprison, and hang
men at his pleasure Thus tho Republi
can presses aro demanding of tho Presi-
dont that ho shall seize tho commissioners
from South Carolina, and try them for
treason. If you ask them h hat is trcn
son, thoy ean't tell, but 'they insist that
the President ought to hang somebody,
becauso Par toff; in what ho calls his
" Life of Andrew Jaekson," (compiled
too much from street talk nnd newspaper
slander,) sets it down that Gen. Jackson
proposed to hang Mr. Calhouu for nulli
fioatiou, which is false, ro citizen can
bo punished or deprived of life or liberty
in this country without due procois of law,
Massachusetts contrived tho Hartford
convention in tho war of 1814 to set up a
northern confederation, and South Caro
lina has got up a scccsion convention to
precipitate tho slaveholding States into a
southern confederation.
Massachusetts, in 1814, sent two am
bassadors of tho Hartford convention to
Washirgton to demand of Prcsid"ent Mad
ison tho separation of New England from
the Union, in carrying on the war. Hit
Ham Sullivan and Harrison Gray Otis
wcro the commissioners. Mr. Madisou
did not propose to hang them. JJut, n3
Mr. John Quincy Adams says, of tho
peace of G bout, the news of which came
while tho commissioners wcro at Washing
ton, "the interposition of a kind Provi
denco averted tho most deplorable of ca
tastrophes" tho establishment of a North
cm confederacy.
South Carolina now follows tho exam
ple of Massachusetts by sending her com
missioners to President Buchanan, and
President Buchanan is abused by Massa
chusetts in particular becauso ho won't
hang them for treason without judge or
jury 1
Now let us inquire what treason is, and
what tho Constitution says about seizing
ana hancinc people in this country. Tho

stitution says there must bo somo overt
act, proved by two witnesses. And what
is levying war is thus defiued by tho Su-
prem0 Court ; tIl(J Ullited ytatcg
Aaron Burr: "To levy war is to raise,
create, make or carry on war. War can
bo levied only by tho employment of actu
al force troops must bo embodied, men
must bo openly raised," &c. And the
purpose must be to mako war on tho Uni
ted States. Thu3 "to march iu arms with
i .1 .
1 ofr r to rcndcr ineffectiv0 an act of
Congress, is high treason,'' says Chief
I Just!co Marshall.
That was tho nature of tho offenco
which Thcodoro Parker, Wendell Phil
lips, and their associates wcro charged
with when thoy incited the mob in Fan
cm! Hall to go to tho court houso and
rescuo Burns, tho fugitivo slave, in which
unlawful cntorpnso Bateheltlcr, ono of the
marshal'3 deputies, was murdered. And
hero again South Carolina is only follow
ing this cxamplo of Massachusetts in tho
attack upon tho forts, if sho has really
used military forco to take them. That is
treason in tho men who committed and
incited the act, unless South Carolina has
a right to secedo from tho Union. But
it is not treason in tho Stato, for a Stato
cannot commit treason. It is only trea
son in tho individuals who commit tho
overt act. And if it bo treason or misde
meanor, whero is tho authority of the
President to seizo or hang anybody, as tho
Republicans aro insisting he ought to do,
and chargo him with being a traitor for
not doing it? Tho constitution is very
plain on this point. It reads thus :
'The trial of all crimes fhall bo by
jury, and such trial shall be held in tho
Stale where tho said crimo shall havo
Leon committed."
"No person shall bo held to answer for
a crimo unless on a presentment or indict
racnt of a grand jury, nor bo deprived of
life, liberty or property without due pro
cess of law."
And "tho accused shall enjoy tho right
tho Male where tho crimo has Icon com-
raittod." Thcao aro tho limitations of
... . . ,
that despotism wh.eh certain pcoplo bo
inconsiderately claim uow-a-days for tho
Prpsi.lftnt.
If any citizen or body of men in South
nnrnl!r, W uiA .-!nuii,:
Carol na have levied war against tho Uni.
ted States thoy cannot bo arraigned or
tried for it anywboro but in South Caro-
(Una. Thcro must first bo an indictment
found by a grand jury in South Carolina.
' ...... t. ........ u ...,,!. .n it nnil nciffn
tho prisoner, and a jury to try him.
This last was tho protection which 1 ar-
kcr and Phillip? and their associates found
when they wcro indicted for what thoy
called "frco speech," in connection with
tho murder of Baeholdcr, nnd tho ob-
struction of tho laws of tho' United States
for the rendition of fugitivo slaves, Tho
President could not scizo them, nor could
tncy,te tncu nnywncro put in luassaoiiu-
sens , aim luougu ncro wcro nu no om-1
ccrs of law hero and a grand )Ury indict-
cd them, they escaped a trial and got off
, ... .... i
upon a very simm iccunicauiy, wmca
was, that the commissioner who issued his i
warrant of arrest had signed it only com
missioner, without saying what commis
sioner ; and tho court held that tho in
dictment, however drawn, could not sup
ply thU deficiency, becauso it could not
go beyond tho description in the warrant.
Jut so President Buchanan has no
power to scizo or arraign or try anybody
in Washington or anywiiero else. If
there havo been acts of treason, thoy havo
been committed only in Soutii Carolina.
Tho parties charged must bo tried iu that
Stato by a jury of the State. '1 hero is
no United States marshal to arrest them,
no district attorney to indict them, no
grand jury to find a bill, no court lo ar
raign and no jury to try them. How then
aro the stops to be taken which tho con
stitution demands iu every caso of alleged
crimoi And if thcro were nil tho officers
of the court nnd juries, everybody knows
that a court in South Carolina would hold
that tho right of secession absolved tho
party accused from his liability to tho
laws of tho United States, and no jury
would convict.
It would bo tho same iu Massachusetts,
if, under tho personal liberty bill, a fugi
tivo from labor should bo taken beforo a
jury to bo tried. No Massachusetts jury
could bo found to agree that lto was a fu
gitivo slave. Thus it is obvious that Mas
sachusetts and South Carolina stand in
tho same category of disunion and seces
sion, so long as these laws remain on her
statute book, and so long as her people
resist and rcfuso to execute tho laws of the
United States within her borders.
But it is said, suppose the Judge and all
tho United States officers havo resigned
in South Carolina, why don't President
Buchanan supply tho vacancies ? But
what then ? Ho could find no men in
South Carolina to accept tiio offices, and
tho law requires that they shall bo ap
pointed in tho district. Even if ho sent
Northern men thcro they would not be
allowed to act, and if they wcro resisted.
' '
then it comes back to just whero wo start
cd from ; thoso who resisted must be in
dicted and tried by a court and jury in the
Stato.
If mcv of senso would look at tho facts
and law, and read tho Constitution, thoy
would sco the practical difficulties in the
way of tho summary process with which
they requiro the Prosideut to deal with
existing diuicultics. llo can only more
tho constitutional machinery of govern
ment in executing tho laws. If tho ma
chinery is all broken up in a Stato, ho
cannot invado a Stato, or send an army
there, to enforco martial law, unless the
i Governor ot Legislature call upon him to
suppress insurrection or domestic violence.

It is this question of expediency as to

Safaly, down life' rapid atreum.
Her Journey haa not been u lengthy oitu
A aeoro of years ii all,
Yet, In that brief tiiutj, aho'a aafrly wou
Her ranaom from the fall.
How, aad, how solemn la the light
Of youth, nnd beauty rtriiken low.
That aoul'i preparing far its flight,
Twill aouti bv railed to gn
Tiul aee, ah ace, how faith and hops
Sutlalii In that aad homtit
ThJ monster, Dtath, can nvcr copo
W ith ChrUt't protecting pow er.
Hark I alio apcaka :"fonie, every frldiut
My dying frnuie draw naar.
And, while 1 speak, I pray ou tend
Attention's listening car."
Then, sisters, brother, parents, all
Draw round that united form.
Tho whistling wind, e'en then did fall
Then canned, the raging ttotui.
"Dear mother" a;ain began that voice.
Thy child I "i going hence.
From ricatcu, I hear the shour rejoice,
.Mother, I noon nm going thence.
0 fuaiherl thou ever watt so k i nit to 1110,
Thy wild and way vinrd child,
1 know thatCod will c inn fort llicr.
With peace thine.houra brguilo
O Mother ! i eep no mnro for tu,
Earth's pains will soon itc e'er.'
"I'm going to a bright, bright place,
her j sorrow is no moro,
Farcwt.ll, then, mother, n long farewell ;
Withjyou, I now must part;
A moment morn on tarth I dwell,
And then, for Ilean, I stait.
Kind father, now t turn to thee,
My purtlug words toglie.
Thou too, wast ever good in um,
Thoutaught'at me, how to lit u,
Vhn Bitan's wilt: 9 would fuin havo load
My wandering feet astM)',
'Tnna thy sweet toict, that gently said,
'Daughter.TO I. shun that sinful way.
Sometimes, I thought thy uimd&tca hard.
Yes, e'en aclfioh and unkind,
Thy goed advice oft did discard ,
When nonatiitrd to my mind,
Cut, father, dar,.forgivft the crimes
Of childhood's fickle years.
Meet ms abovo, in those aunny cllinos
Whri fliiw no parting tears.
My sitters, brothers,- kindred, deer
Come near'r to your mhtc',
My faltering voice jou scarce can hear,
Come quickly, 'Death 01 will )ou wait.
Your sifter's d)ing words to you.
Are few, and simply plain,
Ee honsiit, pious, steadfast, truo,
And you, the port of Heaven will gain.
He fo re I'm called to pass that' bournv,
From whence no traveller e'er returns ;
Refrre in) masltr calls me borne,
Where tin fire of lore, fonvr burns (
Twin sister, dear, my othirpart,
My more than lifo to nic,
I'd neck to soothe thy broaking hiait,
I'd ktrlte to comfort thee.
Pear sister.'Mm dj iilirnow;
My breath roines frebly up,
Dcath'a ley baud doth press iny brow ;
I awn will drain life's bittor cup.
You'll miia me, sic tor, when I'm gone
In nil your waking hours,
And, when nslecp, you'll dream upon
Somo social Joy of ours.
When morning brenka, and day's grrut king
Lights up this troubled earth,
My voict, with jours, no more will sing
Aloud w ith social mirth.
And, when nt eve ou gather round,
In sons, and nolcmii pinycr;
My voice, with jours, will not ho found,
Hitter, you'll mi us me there.
And, when at night, oti knalone,
And lift your heart In prayer;
Out voice will raise up lo Cod's throne,
Filter, I'll not be there,
Hut, grinyo not, bister, at your loss
Tor it is gain tome.
Tho awctts of life, arc but as dross.
Compared O Cod I to thee,
Ilut, sister dear, I'll ever ho
Thy guardian angel tru,
My augil n ings shall shelter thee,
Life's ttonny journey through.
I'll ever guard thee, from all ills;
I'll bothy beacon star.
Till death, to thco, his nieiiage fills.
Till thou, an angel are.
Our abjfiit broth erf, sister dear,
I'll hiss 011 earth no more.
Dut urge them bister, to pn'paro
Ir Heaven's celestial ihorc,
Oh tell thorn, how, when death's co, baud
Did praap,my throbbing huait,
I praed, that they may reach that land
Where we will never part.
Adieu, dear siiter, I mutt away,
God calU my spirit homo,
I fly to realms of endlea day,
Hoe, angels for my soul bare coma
Dend o'er me, sister, kiss ino now.
Ere I forever leave.
Great GoJ! wllhmeckneia. I now bow.
This kiuful child, O I God reecive."
A moment, all was ti'cHt then,
A filcnt as the grave.
Then, came a sigh, aroan, nnd then
That soul returned to God who gave.
Oh Cod cfun rcyl Cod of love 1
Console each breaking heart 1
Oh, may they meet that ono hhay c,
Whero friend, from friend, will naver part,
