Tho State Senate.
It is unnecessary to writo onyfhing in
vindication of tho courno of Democratic
Sonotors of Pennsylvania or to reply in
any manner to the abuso hcapod upon
them by tha Abolition press. They bi
liavo now, as they at did at tho com
mencement of the session, that the Senate
is not legally organized, and they act upon
that boliei, Their courio is understood
and approved by tho Democratic party,
and by the intelligent and honest menout
of the party, who dosiro to sco the Consti
tution and laws obscrvod, and safo prece
dent respected and followed. Senator
'Clymer spoko for all tho Democratio Sen
ators when be said a few days einco :
'.Sir until I believe that tho Senate is
organized under tho Constitution, under
tho law, under tho precedents of Bevcnty
years, I must here, persistently, constantly
ever, record a nogativo voto upon tho re
ception of this or any oihcr .piece of lens
lation." U
Their negative vote mutt not, in all ca
ses, be taken as indicative of hostility to
'tbo tneasuro, but as marking jheir disap
probation of tho illegal aetion of tho major
ity in attempting to foist upon them an or
ganization; which has no warrant in pre
xcdoLl or law.
Yhvj Bounty Question.
The Adjutant General has issued in
structions to Lieut. Col. TJomford, Aoiing
Assistant Provost Marshal of Pennsylva
nia, that in cases where the miiBter-in-rolIs

as to giving credit to any ward, borough
or township, provided prompt steps bo

above indicated. This will secure credits
of veterans to several districts in this coun
ty which have, not heretofore been couu-
ted.
The Soldiers Pay.
Hon. John L. Dawson, Democrat, has
recently made a very able speech in Con
.gress upon tho subject of tho pay of the
soldiers. He takes tho ground that the
soldier should receive his pay in GOLD,
This in right. A number of tho officers of
the government, ministers to foreign coun
triei; receive their pay in gold. They
receive large salaries and tho most part
live in eplcndid ease. Tho common sold
ier who has to bear the greatest hardship
and expose bis lifo to tho vicissitudes of
battle, receives but a pittance for his pay
per month and that in depreciated paper
monoy. Let thero bo equality in these
matters. If foreign ministers, those fol
lows who live in easo and luxury are, paid
'in gold, so lot the soldier havo.his mouthly
pittance in the same coin so long as -the
war lasts.
Let all bo plaoed on an equal footing.
Mr. Dawson deserve credit for his able
upoecb and the positiou ho has taken.
It is now reported that tho Florida dis
aster is mainly duo to tho cowardice of the
colord troops. Wo do not know how true
this report is, but wo aro very cortainthat
before tbo war is over the negro will not
bo found as brave, enduting, or efficient as
the white. If ho should prove so, then is
all history a fiction.
The extraordinary efforts of Gen. Gil-
Mohe to supprobS all tho facts connected i
with tliio lost battle may havo been to shield
these oolored pets of tho administration.
SJ Last Friday was tho 4th of March.
Three years ago Mr. Linooln, ef Illinois,
ox-railsplitter, j-o., was inaugrated Presi
dent. His now tbo verdict of a large jior
tion even of his own party that his admin
istration has been a failure With the
mass of tho People, tho opinion is that it
is something worse. Has the triumph of
the Sectional party been iu any particular
a benefit to our country, or to tho nogro ?
Has It net proved rather a fearful if not a
fatal curie to .both I
ear We beg leave to remind our abolN
tion friend's that only "ono party" is al
lowed in time of war. Let Lincoln mon
and Chaso men, Fremont mon "silence
their petty differences in the presence of
the great rebellion, when tha lifo of tha na
tion is at stake." ''If thsre are differen

Family Newspapers.
Vow persons have any juil conception
of the extent of their indoblodtioss to tho
papers for tho information they possess
and tho moral sentiments they cherish.
I Compared wi tli tho paet nges of tho world,
i this is a romark&blv enlightened neriod.
A large portion of the people havo a
considerable sharo o( correct information
on almost all topics of any importance.
Holigion, goograpby, history, and tho
polltioal condition of tho world ; political
economy 5 tlo important features of prac
tical philosophy j something of geology ;
ohemistry as applied to agriculture and
tho mechanic arts, and many other sub
jects aro familiarized to tho popular mind.
Most persons can talk intelligently about
them, pretending to learning or resenroh.
But how do they como by this know-
ledgo I Not at schools, nor at books gen
erally speaking, hut by picking up, hero
and there, from newspapers, small install
ments.
Let any ono ask himself whero ho ob
tained his knowledge of any particular
fact Ho is probably unablo to tell, bo
oauso it camo siKntly, imperceptibly, in
newspapers. Tho same is trua in regard
to our best moral sentiment. Thoy aro
suggested, reiterated, and fastened on tho
mind by tho press. The pulpit does much
parental instruction, in many instances,
does much ; and tho press more than
both. Lot any reader of a well oonduo
tod paper open its pages and consider well
its contonts. Thoro aro in a single num
ber somctimos from ono hundrod and fifty
to two hundrod separate and distinct arti
cles, each ono oarrying an idea, a fact or
a scntimont, and stated or illustrated so as
to produce an effect in enlarging tho read
er's store of .knowledge, or giving a right
direction to thought, feeling or action.
Must not all this havo its influenco on tno
roador f We think so.
No reflecting man can fail to see that
tho many visits in a year of a wall con
ducted paper, with a correct, elevalad tone
and withal intcrcstcng in its contonts, must
exert a great moral influence upon domes
tio life. Children growing up under such
an influence aro far mora likely to 'bo in
telligent, correct in their opinions and
morals, and better preparod for the active
duties of life, than thoy could possibly
havo been without it
Mi;. Cox, of Ohio, mado n good hit in
tho iiouso of Representatives on Monday,
Tho Homo had just passed another of the
codes of buncombo resolutions which have
becomo so fashionable, doolaring that the
cause of tho war must bo abolished,1'
"the rebellion must bo crushed." and "the
Union must bo restored," all of which do
about as much good as so many .paper
bullets, wbon Mr. Cox offered tho follow-
1Dfi:
Ihsolvcd, That tho rebellion be, and
tho tauio is, hereby abolished.
Tho Houso sawthojoko in an instant,
Iaughad heartily over it, and then passed
tbo resolution by a unanimtios vote. Our
Republican brthren,who havo ruch strong
faith in resolutions and proclamations, will
.probably now regard the rebellion dead,
and bury it alongside of slavery.
Election in New Hampshire.
The olection in New Hampshire, so far
as the. returns have como in, show that tho
Administration, through tho votes of fur
loughed soldiers and tho other exertions
mado, have secued tho re-election of Gov
ernor Gilmore. The majority claimed for
Governor, Gilmoro, judged by the towns
heard from, is four thousand. Five Repub
lican Counselors aro probably elected.
Nino of tho twolvo Senators elected are
Republicans and a Majority of tha Repre
sentatives. Tho March number of Godey'a Lady's
Book has come to hand, and looks as bright
and, beautiful as tho first flowers of May.
Tho illustration will do uo discredit to
Godey and that is saying a good deal
and the entire contents aro fresh and spark
ling as dew drops. Wo need not partioti
larizs, for to be appreciated tho Book
must be eeen. Success to Godey the prince
of Magazine publishers, and to his elegant

The Albany Statesman, a Republican
paper, has becomo so disgusted with the
corruption and dishonesty of administra-
tion officials and partizans, that it speaks
J.out in tho following cucrgetio torms :
A pack of sharks, hungry, villainous
and incorrigible, havo fastened upon the
I publio Troasury and deplotod it at tho
,rat0 of millions monthly ; that tbo patron-
f2 , ' T re , 1 uo!c,run;ont

and convicted cormorants, and men drivo

.purohased with United States greenbacks,
who ought to bo pegging thoes in Stato

This is tho way in which ''Honest Old
Abe" "has restored tho Government to
tho purity ''of tho fathors."
Speaking Out.
Tho German Republicans of Detroit.
Michigan, have passed resolutions in which
thoy deolaro that they will not vote for
Mr. Lincoln, if ho should receive again
tho nomination of the Republican parly.
Thoy say that Fremont or Butler is their
first choice, but thoy will make on Chhss
or Morton, if the nomination of cither of
them should appear necessary. Tho Exe
cutivo State Committeo of tho Now Jersey
German organization has also passed a
series of resolutions, protesting against
the nomination of Lincoln in -bitter terms.

Andrews, it will bo remembered, was

'n 'i'0 Custom House. Ho was an oflicer
of the New York i'Loyal League," and
was very "loval," and in favor of soudinir
all copperheads to prison. Like all well
bookod up Abolitionists, ho was opposed
to peaoo on uny terms, and iu favor of tho
war going on, and henoo ho conceived that
iho best .way to prolong tho war, was to
furnish tho rebels with powder, arms and
clothing, no was but doing what many
others in his party havo done in anothor
way. Tho Administration itself has aided
tho robeh in a different but quite as cf
fectivo a manner. Andrews, doubtless,
will be convioted, and then Lincoln will
quickly pardon him. Mark if this is not

Hon. Robt. M. T. Hunter, President

ufiicieiit army which wo have ever placed
in the field, and can command the re
sources to maintain and support it, not
only now, but for as long a period as may
be necessary to aohieve our independence."
Whether this statsmcnt be truo or false,
it is very suro that all tho rebel papers
talk more defiantly thaa they havo douo
for a year past.
Tho Louisville Journal is not compli
mentary to tho"improved class of oitizens"
which the Lincoln programo proposes to
introduce into our country. It says:
"Thero is to be substituted a hybrid race
an amalgamation cross betweeu'tho Abo
litionist and tho negro. Such crosses usu
ally result in a deterioration of both the
original stocks! Whether in this iustanco
it would be likely to improvo tho Aboli
tionist wo aro not prepared to say, but all
men of observation will agrco that it must
materially injure tho negro."
