Editor : It is very amuiing in certain localities, to contrast tho present aspect of things, flith those that which ex isted a few days ago. I moan in relation to our Repuhlican brethren, for such we can call them now, as the figltt is nearly all out of them. Then it was from the "Jlan of War," Gralcy, down to tho least worshipper of the wooly head. Only wait, until we get a Man at the helm, then you will .eo the Southern traitors quail and quako with fear, when the great six feet six shall put his "foot down" and say, "I am Lord of all I survey..'' Then you will hear thoao traitors call for tho rocks and mountains to fall on them and hide them from tho wrath of tho Republicans ; but even before tho inauguration there was a great flutlering among them in relation to the underground Rrailroad trip of Abram from HarrUburg to Washington, and to cap tho climax of the wholo matter and I take out of them the little starch left, was I the astounding news that Foit Suuipter wa3 to bo evacuated before tho New Pres ident was warm in his scat I How chatt ed. Now they talk aa mild as sucking doves. General Scott has told them it would take 10,000 troops to reinforce tho Fort, and as it is a military question the Presi dent had nothing to do with it ! This looks like "recapturing the Forts & retak ing the sto en property," wo have heard rio much of recently. These developments, we aro now passing through, warn us to give more earnest heed to the Farewell warning of Washington in relation to tho establishment of sectional parties. Hop ing our people may bo more guarded in future, and pay their first respects to tho white men of America, I will tresspass no further upon your columns at prescut. CAMliRA. Two Voiy Useful Clergymen. The people of tho Bradford district saw proper toeloct and send to our State Senate the very Rev. Geoiwe L.vndon ; and tho peoplo of the Lehigh district faw proper to tend to tho State Senate the Rev. JeiiEMI. All SiilNUl.E. These two Rev. gentlemen have done their best to purify our State, Treasury by casting out of it a goodly por tion of tho god of tills world, commonly called Jlauimon in clerical stylo I These individuals both voted for the Sunbury & Eric railroad bill, and for tho Tonnao 'lax swindle. Tha peoplo thould, by all means, hereafter elect none but clergymen to represent them at Harrisburg, becauso they aro such excellent purifiers in a few years they could wipo the Stato as clean as any puppy ever licked out a skillet. By the Sunbury & Eriostwndlo tho Stato will loso about ga,500.000, at least; and by tho Tonuago Tnx swindlo, tho Stato will losa about from ten to 512,000,000. This is a mighty bad thing for tha Stato, but of course noboy dare say aught against it since it has tho sanction both of church and stato. Get to work now, poor fellows throughout tbo wholo State; shoulder your axes and march again to tho woods; hunt up your old mattocks and go afresh to grubbing; and in general let everybody eat less, lccp less, wear less clotken, and work harder, to pay the extra taxos for tho -ubliine pleasure of sending such supe rior rascals to tho Legislature. Selintiroie Tim;, COLUMBIA DIIMOCHAT. SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 30, 1B61 Legislative- Swindling. Wohavo for tho past several weeks paid some attention to tho subject of the late enormous Swindling optrutivns by tho Legislature of Pcuujylvania, and this week give additional extracts, from our exchan ges, on tho same subject, as will bo seer; by reference to subsequent columns of tho "Columdia Demociiat." When the people's tervanls become corrupt, and be tray publio confidence, their iniquities should bo fully exposed, and this duty, how ever unpleasant, necessarily devolves upon tho conductors of the Publio Press. In tho passage of the Sunbury and Erie Rail road Bill, and tho Repeal of the Tonnage Tax on the Pennsylvania Railroad, we re gret to say that a largo number of mera bors of both branches of tho Legislature havouttorly forfeited tho confidence of their constituents aud sealed their political doom for coming time. In this category, wo regret to record tho names of Hiram R. Kline, of Columbia! Thomas Osterhout, of Wyoming; Wm. IP Rutler, of Carbon, and Peter F. Eilcnbcr ger, of Northampton, democratic members of tho House. Frsnklin Bound, of North umberland ; Jeremiah Schindlo, of North ampton; and Kennedy L. Blood, of Jeff erson, tho first named a Republican, and tho two last named, Democratic Senators, H'e sympathise with them, not in their rascality, but as personal friends, in their great misfortune, and can only commend them to the mercy of their injured and be trayed constituents ; having sown to the wind, they must expect to reap the whirl wind. Important Development 'Tho long and short of it is, he was committed to the passage of tho bills long before they were brought up for action. Of this wo aro assured by persons of thu place who were at Harrisburg for a pro traded peiiod on Legislative business, aim in which opinion we are confirmed by thi. very fact t.iat wiuii.i tha Ia:t -..x weeks Mr. :h ridel Iu.iim:!.' paid two vi.its to Allen town for the :.pie-i purpo;e of iufluenuii;. the Picsd 10 suit.iiii ii.,11 in his couteuiplti ted iuiquitiou work! His lust crr.tul for this purpose was ptrfoimed on tho Sim day before the passago of tho bills. On this occasion he "sounded" one ol the publishers of this paper on tho subject, and met with such a rebuke that his heart failed him in making the overtures he had determined upon, and returned to Harris burg. Iext day one of tho hired lacqueys of tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company come on to besot tbo press aud hold out with an uuspairing hand the temptation oi lucro. We were offered a largo sum of money to sustain Mr. Schiudcl ; we took the mo.nkv, and coneluded to give him the sustaiuanco lie merits, ana ere this we suspect ho has found that ho got a bad bite with good bait. He is doubly guilty of iniquity, first in giving his votes against friends, against his instructions, against public interests and against his better judg ment, and then seeking to cover up his sins in effort to corrupt the sentinels upon the watch towers ottlio psopio ! God knows it is bad enough that Legislators sap the pillars of the Commonwealth without their seeking to corrupt the press, whoe boun- den duty it is to ttaud by tho interests of the state. Y hen onco it comes to this, tho end must bo ruin, inevitable ruin to society and government. In view of all this hypocrisy on the part of the Reverend Senator, docs it appear at all as if he had bceu led by individual advice. Far from it. But further. Before lcavincr this place on tho Monday beforo the passage'of the bills, lie declared that there was a great pressuro for his vote, that ho could communa any sum by giving m to them, even an high as 830.000, but in the svne strain asseverated that God should witness him iti opposition to tho measures, as ho considered them an outrago upon the tax payers of tha Commonwealth. Wo have too little faith in miracles to believe that uuiuspircd men can transform a vico of to-uay into a teu-lold virtuo to-morrow, ' The Eas'on Argus, stys : 'I ho foregoing is an extract from an ar ticle in tho last number of the Allen'.own Democrat, relative to tho course of Mr. Sciiindei., and we invito particular atten tion to the evidenco of corruption which it discloses. Tho truth is, tho pilo of bricks is about to fall, and all who havo been engaged in this swindling business better stand from under' Wc now begiu to un derstand the motives that influenced a good many Editors in different parts of the Stato. If an editor in Allcntown could get a largo sum of money to sustain a Member or Senator, how muoli would havo to bo paid for a Member or Senator him' self ? And how mush was paid to editors of largo papers in Philadelphia and else where ! Whilst our ceighbar of thw Demnrmt SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1861. had his hand in, it seems to us he ought to havo mado a clean breast of it, and told how "largo a sum'1 lie received, and given tho name of tho "hired lacquey" of the Railroad Company who paid it. The pub lio would like to know tho name of the agent of said company whoso business it was to bribe editors, senators and mem bers, so that tho Penitentiary may be made to claim its own. Wo would like to know also what ho intends to do with the money. Wo suggest that he pay it to one of Mr. Schindel's congregations to employ a high er priced and better Pastor. He says ho took tho money, but the question which greatly concerns tho honor of our friend, is, did ho not at tho same time agreo with tho agent to sustain Schindcl 1 Did not the agent truly report said agreement to Schin dcl, and would Schiudcl have voted for the bills had ho not been assured that he would bo sustained at homo by tho Democrat and other papers His voto was nceossary to carry tho bill; without it thero would have been a tic, and tho bill would havo fallen. Ho seems to have been sorely tempted, and to havo had a hard atrugglo between duty on the one side and something else on the other. Ho wanted to go for the bill but feared the just indignation of tho people, and it nowhero appears that ho finally agreed to support the Bills until he was assured that he would rcccivo the support of some of tho leading papers of his own county. Dishonor treads close upon the heels of frailty. If tho Allentown editor had taken the money and at once tele graphed or proceeded in person to Harris burg aud told Schindcl that he had done so that he would not sustain him, and in tended to expose tho whulo transaction, ho would now occupy a different and better position. He ought immediately to have communicated the facts to tho Senate, and it would.havo arrested tho passage of the Bill ! This hitch in the case at Allcntown may yet lead to important developments, A misunderstanding or a quarrel among rogues is always attended with ugly and unexpected consequences to themselves and associates. Tho fraud and bribery practised in tho original salo of tho public works to tho bankrupt Sunbury & Erie Railroad Com pany in 1S57, ought also to be ventilated, i'hc rascality of that business lead to tho present deplorable condition of things at Harrisburg, Tho publio ought to know who got paid for the passage of that Bill, cither in money or in Stock at half price. It is all wrong that a few littlo rascals should now bo mado tho scape-goats to carry off the sins of larger ones who plan ned tho scheme and have pocketed moitof tho plunder. Let the little and obscure fellows compel the big ones to share the responsibility, aud the publio may oxcuso them in soiuo degree. In view of our dismembered Union,and what is now (loin" at Washington and Harrisburg, it must bo confessed that wo aie a disgraced people. What man would like to visit Europe and boast of his gov ernment aud country as Americans have been too much in the habit of doing I And wc fear that wo have not yet seen tho beginning of tho end. Tho Republicans met at Chicago and declared for Lincoln and revolution, and now tho same party is selling out tho State at Harrisburg. Corruption of tho most damnable kind stares one in the face at every point. It is as shameful as it is disgraceful.
