FOl CANAL COMMISSIONER, Nl9l BO D STRICKLAND, of Chester County. BTATK C OS! UI TT EE. TH E members of the Democratic State Com mittee ate requested to meet at the Mer chants' Hotel, Philadelphia, on Monday, April 20th. at 1 o'clock, P. M. C. R. BCCKAI.EW, Chairman. iUOIIAL ItEI'OIt.US. From the beginning of the world it has been well provided with moral reformers— men who by some appliance of force or law proposed to cure all the moral ills of society. But most of these have been with only an external view of the evil, and did not, like Christianity go to the heart and the core, to effect a remedy. Thus in modern times men propose to make overv person rich by legislation. The fallacy here is that laws cannot create wSulth, hut may only distribute it upon new principles. They may take from one and give to another, but they can not add to the aggregate possessions of the country. The kindest thing they cstt do to -society is to allow labor and mind a clear, open field to develope its awn resources. Another heresy was the attempt to men moral by set of Assembly. It was the old spirit of the crusader—the arau ment of the sword and the stake. Men must have a moral sense in thein to be cul tivated by moral means, il you can improve lham; acd no act ol legislation can create ibis in the heart, if it does not exist Ihoje.— Laws may provoke stubborn wilfulness, and lead lo bigotry, uncharilahlenes and perse cution, but they cannot establish the Chris tian virtuaa where tbey uro not. They may protect their exercise and development but caouolcreate them. Just so is the heresy of making men/i : who have not within them (lie rpirit of Iree dom—of attempting lo free men in Kansas by act of Congress or by a Massachusetts Emigrant Aid feociety. "Who would be free themselves must strike the blow," and laws can do udthing but protect met: in making lhamselvee ftee. You cannot by act af Con gtess make a man in spirit free, any more than you can make liirn rich or moral, or than you can make him a Turk. Evory page ol History illustrates and proves thia. Greece and Rome were corrupted by enervating luxuries and by false ideas of public virtue and honor. This corrupted the spirit of the people and then only their lawa became bad. A degenerate people have in many countries debased the laws, but the laws do not degrade any proud spirited and true hearted nation. A brave and virtuous people will be such from instinct, and not from the torce of law. If their laws art) bad tltey will reform them: but this will be to preserve and protect pub- I>o morality and not to create it. The de genetatc children of Mexico could not be re formed by any law, nor can you infuse ener gy or power into its feeble government while its present race are the nominal rulers. What they would try to dot If it were possible to elect Wilmot for Gov ernor there would at once grow up a hostile epirit between our Statd and those neigbors on our South. Every lazy negro of Mary land and Virginia would be tempted to escape into Pennsylvania, and the wtiolo power of the Executive would be used to shield the fugitive. The Wilmot administration would let the tariff and the white laborer's interest sleep, ftnd trouble itself only to protect the black mart. Yars ago we heard these Wil mot men talk about "protection" to the white laborer, but now it is only "protec.iou" for the man with a lawny skin. Masraehusetis has shown us what we might expect from Wilmot. It was fit that Mr. Phelps, who served in the same legisla ture with Jo. Hiss and helped to pass the law oj. Massachusetts which repealed a part of the constitution of the United States, stump ed our State Jasl fall in company with Wil mot. These men would propose thai the legislature of Pennsylvania should also try its hand at abolishing the constitution of the United States, and we might expect a ' per sonal liberty" bill next winter a - - Harriaburg. Such scenes as disgraced Boston when the fugitive slave Burns was rescued, and when • United States officer was shot it, cold blood, would be introduced into Pennsylvania, and would follow every attempted restoration ol • fugitive slave. The Pjssmore Williamson cue shows that we have ia this State the elements for such mischief and danger to tbo peace and good order of society. Some year* ago we had one abolition riot in Phila delphia; aad our people are of the opinion that that was quite enough. They decline •#Hir.g"fcaternalSites at hostility. They de dine having our legislature fool away time at attempting to subvert the tundamenial law of tbe republic; and they do not set them selves in open defiance to the Jaws of the lend, nor desire the credit of shooting dowr. a United States Marshall. They have done jasltce to the black man: and tbey will new do joatice lo tbair own kindred, and preserve tbe peace, order and honor of tbeir State by electing General Paeker its Governor. 17 We publish to-day the call for tbe convention of School Directors which will on the first Monday of May convene in this town. Tbe Court will be in session at the Court-house, except from one o'clock to half past two. I: has been thought best to let tbe Directors collect there, and if they caatot their business in an hour and half they can adjourn to some other room, or la—Tn to meet again in the evening.— Our tow* is much ia need of a town-hall fct public Msambliw."h The Danger Apparent. .. Wise and good men everywhere are be n coming sensible of tbe danger which mnat re sult to Christianity and the Christian churches if the political ranters are allowed to dese crate the pulpits. It was under a sense of s this danger that the last Methodist Coher ence at Baltimore, by its beat men, rebnked y the mischief-making spirit of hypocritical = demagogues in the following proceedings: , Rev. Isaac Gibsoon and N. Wilson submit ted the following resolutions: Resolved, By the Baltimore Conference, in Conference assembled, that we highly dep recate the agitation of the slavery question, which has already resulted lo the great detri ment ol the politcal and religious interests of the country. I. Resolved, That a 9 heretofore we will op r- pose with real aod aggression which shall ■' be attempted by the abolition agitators ot the country. Rev. James H. Brown moved to lay them : upon the table. Adopted. Rev. John A. Co'lins deprecated such ae- R lion, as it placed the Conference in an indeed _ equivocal position. He would therefore ask v that they Hgain be taken up, with a view to a direct vote thereupon. Agreed to by the ~ following vote —yeas, 210; nays, 4. e They were then put upon their passage, 0 and the first resotuliou adopted by yeas, 220; s hays 3. y The second one was taken up and also s adopted by a vole of yeas, 197; nays, 14. Kepiidliitlon of Wilmot. The Philadelphia Daily Acres, the leading • "American" organ of the Stute, repudiates the ' nomination ol Wilmot in most unequivocal 1 declarations of hostility to his election. It j says— -1 " We are gratified to learn that there is but ; 1 one sentiment among the conservative and - national minded men of the City, in relation lo the action of the Republican Convention I IHarrisburg, and that one of indignant and un qualified condemnation. The Americans re pudiate its action, and will refuse to support | I its nominees, because they are national in j dieir principles, and will support no one lor J office, who is a sectional agitator, and does not recognize and endorse American prinoi- j pies; and they have accordingly already | started a movement for the holding of au I Atnericau State Convention, to nominate a ! i ticket worthy of theit confidence and sup- j port." II there is honor or integrity in Know Noth- i ingism, or if that party is not to be wholly j abandoned, Wilmot will never receive the 1 support of its members. II the thing has ] conscious existence or respect for itsalf, it ! I must show it now. The fusion Hcpudtatrd. A large RtiJ enthusiastic meeting of Amer- | icans, was heiJ ai the Sons of America Hall,j corr.er of Seventh and Sansom streets, Phil- j adelphia, on Friday evening last, in which i strong resolutions were passed denouncing ; tho proceedings of the Black Republican '• ! 1 Slice Convention. Tho President of the \ j meeting was authorized to appoint a com ! mitiee of twenty-four, with the view of te- i i organizing for the State campaign. The idea , is the call a S'ate Convention lo nominate a ; full straight out American ticket, in opposi- j | tiou of Black Republicanism in particular, j and all other sectional isms in general, Dur ! ins the speeches made it was asserted that I at least 65,000 volts in tho State of Penn ! s)lvaiua could be depended on iti the next I fall campaign for tbe straight out American ticket. Eluck Itcpuklic.n: Platlorm. The Republican State Convention, held : here oil the 25th, adopted a series of resnlu ' lions, from which we extract the following: ! "Resolved, Tht the Constitution confers ' upon Congress SOVEREIGN POWER over the Territories of the United States for their 1 •• : government." "Resolved, * * * That we DENY THE AUTHORITY OF CONGRESS * • to give i legal existence to slavery in sny Territory 1 of the United States, while the Constitution t - shall be maintained." First, they conceed the sovereign power ,| of Congress to govern the Territories and i then deny one of the very attributes of that 1 sovereignty. This shows the s'rail to which ; the Black Republican disunionir-ts are re : duced to maintain their house, and is enough 1 to drive from their ranks every honest, sens ible man, who aims only at the good govern ment, peace and prosperity of the country. s I The Instructions to Gov. Walker, &c.— • The instructions to Gov. Walker are full, clear, explicit, and in them are quoted the ? exact words of Mr. Buchanan's inaugural, l viz: —"lt is the indispensable doty of the , ; Government to secure to every resident ta i habitant the free and independent expression I of his opinion by his vote." In this the cab l i inet cordially concur. They and those who } will shortly administer the affairs of Kansas, u , believe there is nothing to prevent such re f ' suit, in-the adoption of the State Constitution, - 1 as the Legislative Assembly, at their lastses i sion repealed that portion of tbe election law ? : which required a challenged voter to take an •loath to support the Fugitive Stave law. Gee s' tlemen who have matte inquiry relative in r j this subject have been assured that the ad - j ministration and Gov. Walker wiil endeavor ? to carry out Ihetr promise in good faith,being ; ! fully impressed with tbe importanoe of the result. ! 17 It seems that at the first effort to re '! peal the special road law of 1850 which re j la'cd to Catawissn township in this county , j the thing was only "scotched, not killed." I' A supplement was afterwards found which . had been passed a year or two subsequent , j to the first set: and a second effort was : j therefore made to repeal this aluo. The I bill to repeal passed finally last week. CT* Somebodt with more mischief than j brains has been hoaxing the telegraph with ] tbe intelligence for tbe daily papers that C ! M. Stranb of Schuylkill was urged to be a ' third candidate for Governor >- The administration Has initiated none of i- the proceedings in Etnas, having in view s the election of delegates preliminary to the i- formation of a Stale Constitution, but with >f j the intention and desire to terminate the die - trading question of slavery, will assist in 1 | carrying forward the measure which has .1 been commenced in tbe territory for that purpose, leaving '.he people at large, without . any reference whatever to their political divisions, lo settle il by a free and untram , melled vote for themselves. It having been repeatedly asfcaci how in , dependent suffrage can be exercised, if the laws of the territory are to be regarded as i valid, the reply from the best sources of in format:on is, that the law providing fur the . elect inn is a fair one, it explicitly declaring I that free white male citizens of the Uriled I Stales, over 21 years of age, residents of the territory on the Ist of April, shall be entitled I to vote for delegates lo the Constitutional Convention. This law is to be administered - without regard whatever to any test oaths. I Governor Walker, and Mr. Stanton, the I Secretary of State, have repeatedly said that i i their efforts, in accordance with the views of - | the administration, will be to secure a fair 1 expression of the opinion of ail the people ! of Kansas, while they will carefully abstain 1 Irom any act which can be construed into | partiality to one side or the other. Which ' , soever way the citizens decide, the adminie -1 [ration will be content. Gov. Walker re peats his opinion that Kansas will be a free State. The Coal Trade - Is just now being, wlut is called in tbe coal I regions, "revolutionized." The old principle j ! ol supply and demand for regulaiing the trade | is considered 100 antiquated, though proper 1 enough lor other branches of business. The i coal operutors do not intend to let any more ! coal go to market than will keep the price > ; regularly tip lo a certain mark, which they , say is ren.oneralive, from which the public will infer that they have hitherio been get- I litig their coal ton cheap and below cost.— I Combination among the operatives his led , > lo a combination ninoug the boatmen, and j < they will not let any boats leave Schuylkill I { Haven loaded, at a less freight than Si 90 per 1 1 ton, though (he dealers say they will not pay 1 more than f-1 80. Several hundred boats, j many of thetn loaded atSl 76 a 1 80 per ton, 1 have beon detained at Schuylkill Haven du ring the week. Two boats belonging lo Mr. Bertlett, of Reading, were injured. One was i set on fite, and partially destroyed, while the other was scuttled. These acts are calculated ! to interfere greatly with the trade, which, for I i want of sufficient carrying time and means, ' ! will admit of no delay at the early part of the I season.—Ledger. l.ook ot Home J One of the objections made to the derision 1 of the Supreme Court, in the Dred Scott case - 'is ihat it declares negroes not lo be citizens 1 j There is nothing neithvr novel nor monstrous ,in this. Our own State Constitution, under ! \ wKfAt OUT pwit BUoW lUjiuUnam* *♦• mtl I breathe and have their beiug,'' virtually de- j j cUres the same dortrine. Negroes are not ! ; citizen* in the Slate ot Pennsylvania—none | hiil/rer while men arc ; and yet our virtuous Republicans pass over this tact, and iudig untilly assail Judge Taney, a man whose j character stands above reproach, and wtiose i ermine has nevor been soiled by a single 1 corrupt act, for expressing an opinion in 1857. j ! which the Constitutional Convention of Pennsylvania declared as early as 1838. Ye generation of vipers ! look at home. "Pittok - the beam Irom ynnr own eyes," before you 1 put on spectacles to discover "tho mote in others," and they hurl their thunder bolls against the Court for pronouncing the Mis souri Compromise unconstitutional, when their old Federal fathers opposed its enactment on the same ground in 1820, and burn; >ll efitgv David Follenon and other* who helped to pass it. To what monstrous wrongs and gross absurdities will not bluul fanaticism lea.i ?— Harrisbuig Patriot China and the three Power*. It is not always that newspaper correspond - cuts can tie relied on, as too ot them have a knack of manulacturing news, when j news is scarce: tail we believe there s ao ground for the statement, which more than one Washington-letter writer has made, thai England is anxious to enlist this nation as an ally in the war against China. 1. is the old dodge renewed again, when stie engaged tn hostilities with Russia. The price of nur concurrence is said to be a carte klnnckt. 011 the part of England and France, to do what we please on this continent. The proposal is. in fact, ''help us tn rob in the East, and ' we'll let you plunder, as much as you like, in the West." A proposal fit for a footpad. 'or a Highland rover, but hardly fit to come irom a civilized, moral and Christian king dom. Fortunately, America has no wish 10 play the part of a highwayman, and her.ee there is no danger in the bribe succeeding, though the offer proves how little England understands this coDntry. and how low is the ' standard ot morality among Euro poor dipto , , matista Whatever the United Sates may do in the premises will be done irrespective of tbi* , proposal.
