Chairman,
scnlatlves and to that body must tho pco
plo look for tho rcjeotion of tho eohemo.
Prcparod aa tho American people must
bavo been for almost ovory kind of wild
and rccklosa legislation under radical rulo
in Congress, wo bolievo wo prcss tboir

a moaaure having tho ramifications of this
Little Fishing Creek Rail Road JJflU) SMWClfoCWDUt SOMETHING NB
At a largo and enthusiastic mooting of
Tho Mcssago shows that tho finances of
tho Stato aro in a hoalthy condition, not
withstanding tho enormous bunions entail
cd upon tho pooplc by ths war. Tho bal-
anco in tbo treasury November 30, 1804,
was 81,012,203,03, and tho balanoo at tho
same dato in 1805, was $2,373,008,14.
Tho amount of tho public debt Dcccmbor

stated ths troasury held tho following as

Disunion.
The Constitution is still a "leaguo with
death and a oovenont with hell" in the
opinion of tho radicals; and Pco John
says if the South does not agrco to a vot
ing basis of representation, "wc (ho) aro
entirely willing to try and get along a
whilo without her." So if tho "Catnip
Doctor" cannot somo how get on an equal
ity with the nigger, ho iiad rather tho
South should stay out of the Union.
Tliad. Stevens and the President
It is not a year since that tho radicals
insisted that to attack tho Presidont was
to attaok tho Government, and was almost,
if not quite, an act of treason. But times
change ! They aro now upon tho oppo
site side, and thiough their leaders in Con
gress insolontly threaten the President
with the loss of his scat if he docs not car
ry out their atrocious purposes. They are
now tho champions of sedition, as they
onco vero the apologists of tyranny.
They aro now as much against a lojral and
Constitutional President as thoy woio tho
champions of arbitrary and dcBpotio
power. In the contest between tho lead
ers of this Komp Congress and tho Presi
dent, tbo peoplo will almost unanimously
sustain tho latter, llo has nothing to fear
from the howlings of Sumner and Stevens.
jSQf Tho Republican talks about men
who wero ''too cowardly to tako up arms
to fight." Does ho refer to himself, and
to tho time ho went oil to rcpol tho rebel
invaders, after tho Governor had sent
word that the rcbels ivere gone, and no
more men were ncedod I Wc wero at ths
front then with Capt. Clark, and well re
member the editor of tho Republican

over, and trying to shako hands with the
men who went to fight.
Cowards ! Yos he is tho very man to
talk about cowards by studying his own
character a little, ho has acquirsd a thor
ough knowledge of them,
US?- Senator Cowan, stated in his seat
the other day, that tho Abolitionists, had
presented in that body oxer seventy amend
nicnts to the Constitution of tho United
(States, all looking to tho interest of the
negro, but not one for the interest of tho
white race ; and that tho loadors did more
to produce our lato civil war, than Davis
and his adherents. This is certainly a
strange confession for a member of that
party to make; but it is as true as Gospel.
Kay Tho IIouso oommittes on olections
have reported that Alexander II. Coflrotb,
Dem., is entitled to his seat from the 10th
Congressional District of this Stato,whioh
has been unrepresented this session. Wc

doubt this custom has originatod in tho
fact that tho Auditor General now (and
"recently'1) is a Demoorat, who might ob-
joct to acoounts not strictly regular, but
nevertheless "truly loyal.'
Upon political matters tho Governor is

Is it an inocntivo to another assasaina

"Mr. Stevens bolicved be was right in

toe verytimo tlio Homo was legislating
on tbo question, was in direet viola

&3r Owing to tho high prioo of meat of
all kinds, a company has bean started to
manufacture pork out of pig-iron,

faoturcrs of Pittsburg reduced tho wages
of their workmen tlio other day doubtloss
only to make- pressure for a high tariff
on forotgn iron, as tho prices they aro

than thoy havo ever before received. Iu
Eovcral of tbo mills tho blinds refused to
work. Tho reduction to "boilers" has
been one dollar per ton, and bar htating

ago a reduction of one dollar per ton was
made. The mr.n claim that they cannot

Tho question is a pertinent one If the
manufacturing oapitalists can now control
wngoa, can they not also control them
whin a high tariff is scoured and thoy
become tho masters of tho market with
millions of dollars moro in their pookets.
If they grind tho workmen now, whon
