possible fcr me to do to adjus: these unhap-
py differences, I shall do. I am not entirely'
despondent. I cannot bring my mind to
realize a separation of these Stales, much
less calmly to contemplate the consequnces
which vrotild follow.
Sirllel ns. as one man, address ourselves
i
to this snbject. Why should our friends
from 'the far South desire to -separate from
those in the North who have so long stood
ty them ? vny, gentlemen, more men in
the Slates of New York and Pennsylvania
'alone eppoused your cause in the late con
test than can be found in all the States that
are talking of separating from the Union.
-A million and a half of voters have, in a
large meaMire, identified themselves with
you in the issue against the Black Republi
can party; and it is my impression thai, if
this form of Government remains, and the
fame iswues are to be made four years
hence, the Republican party, with its sec
tional flag, will be driven to the wall as
completely as any party ever was driven in
Ibis county. I m no prophet, nor the son
of a prophet, but 1 predict that it is the last
Tictory the Republican party will ever gain.
Let as remain together, then; let us contend
for your rights within the Constitution and
the Union, and in a short time )ou who are
now desponding and complaining and
threatening disruption, will be the trium
phant party; yon and your friends North
f will control the Government once more;
and long ere that, I solemnly believe, if the
t effort be made in the right direction, the
people of this' country will give all the
- guarantees that the South, upon full reflec-
lion, will demand.
Frft dcm. Free Speech, and a Free Press.
These are high sounding terms. They i
hare been made the themes of eloquent
panegyrics. The noblest and grandest

illimitable field. The great and good of the
last century imperilled and sacrificed their
lives, and the lives of untold thousands, to

"Who is Responsible?
A writer in the Buffalo Commercial, a Lin
coin paper, makes the following confession
in regard to the responsibility of the North
for the present crisis :
"Let the North, especially New England,
remember that for th'i3 fearful resuU they
are primarily and mainly responsible, by
their, treasonable legislation, by bar room
and pulpit assaults upon the South, ia which
unholy alliance of things sacred and pro
fane, all epithets have been, exhausted, all
sound principle abandoned, and new terms
of denunciation and hatred invented, irri
tating at last to madness the excitable pop
ulation of the South, who. for a quarter of a
century, have had these coals of fire heaped
upon their heads.
'Let the North and West rememberalso,
that the necessary subjugation of the sece

ding elates will us u victory wuuuui uui
and causes of profit ; that half a century of
prosperity will hardly restore the national
loss, or heal the resulting enmities ; that
commercial distress and almost universal
bankruptcy will clothe our cities in mourn-
' mg, and reduce aw real estate, ooia in cny
and country, to hall its present value. L.ei
them restore the integrity of the Con6titu
tion, repeal all treasonable laws, and offer
the olive branch to their exasperated breth

that is the shape the invasion would soon
assume,) and where would be the sympa
thies, where the arms of the Northern mas
ses ? Not with the black swarm cf insur
gents or their Northern allies, but with our
! brethren of the South.
"Dissipate then, this foolish and fatal de
lusion of resolving difficulties like those
presented in the present crisis, by civil war.
It is wild and il is as wicked as absurd."
Terrible Calamity in Marietta Four
CkUdien Burnt to Death. On Sunday even
ing, about 8 o'clock, a fire broke out in a
two story frame house occupied by a color
ed man named John Walker, in an alley
opposite Samuel Johnson's stable, Marietta,
ano betore it was discovered, or before as-
Dioianvc !o.ucu .uc sjjui, iuc iiueriur was
a sheet of flame, and four children three
of them belonging to Walker, and the other
a child of his sister-in-law perished in the
flames. It appears, says the Express, that,
early in the evening, ths children were put
to bed on the second story, and that shortly
afterwards the father locked the door and
went to church, leaving :he firs in the s'ove
down stairs. There was some kindling
wood on the top of the slove, which it is
supposed caught fire, and hence the cause
of the frightful calamity. As soon as the
alarm was given, several persona were
quickly on the spot, and for a few seconds
the terrified faces of the children were seen j
at an upper window, but they soon disap
peared and were not afterwards seen until
their charred remains were picked out of
the smouldering ruins. The ages of the
children ran from about fonr to ten years.
Another, a boy about 13 years, who was
also in bed at the time, fortunately escaped
without injury.

VVi copy the following article from the
Daily Pennsylvanian.'ia order that our readers
may have a more perfect understanding of
the cause of complaint by the South and
who is responsible for it. We are charged
by the leading Republicans of having slan
dered their party by misrepresenting their
principles Even the lesser lights of the
party, such as the Columbia County Republi
can, have the audacity to say that.the Dem
ocratic presses of the north ate accountable
for the bad feeling down south. Read the
following and we think you will all agree
with us, that their principles ned no mis
representation to create just such an effect,
with the sonthern people, as they have.
Dees Senator Wade tell tte Troth!
Senator Wadk, in his great effort on Mon-
day last, in defence of the Republican par
ty and its President, boldly announced on
the floor of the Senate, that if the South be
lieved that the President elect and the Re
publicans of the North were hostile to the
South and Southern institutions, it was be
cause "ihey had been slandered by the
Democratic Press."
Does he wilfully falsify, or is he wantonly
ignorant 1 Let him be judged by the re
cord. Lincoln said that slavery must be placed
in a process of extinction. Ha also said
that the Declaration of Independence de
clared the negro equal to th white man.
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, said
at South Farmington, "they were going to
put the Government for all lime on the side
of freedom, and those who dared array
themselves against this Government, should
be held as tiaitors, and die the death of
traitors;", and in the same speech he said,
"The republican party is to lake possession
of the Government, ai.d when possession
was taken, ee trusted that the party will be
true to the principles professed when out of
power. This power, he trusted, would be ex
ercised till no man ontlte continent should claim
properly in another man."

We could quote colum after col urn of
such sentiments and avowels from Repub

and their papers; we could swell the Hot of
names 01 men prominent in every free State
and in every county of the free States, who
have enforced these sentiments on the
stump, in the pulpit, at the lecture board,
in the school room, at the fireside, on

we couid add, from Bible commentators, , from
compilers of school books, from Northern
statistical works, and thousands of conven
tion resolves, synod discussions, quarterly
meeting reports, and Iract societj wrang
liugs. It fact, there is evidence direct,
and indirect, positive and circumstantial,
corroborative and cumulative, without limit,
in every form that human thought can
find expression, in every shape that human
action can control. Are these slanders of
the Democratic party? Does Senator Wade
speak the truth?
A Good Resolution. At a meeting of
the Howard Association, of Philadelphia,
held in the "city of brotherly love," Dec.
19th; 1860, it was
Resolved, that come what may of good or
ill to our beloved Republic Union or Dis
unionthe Howard Association will con
tinue with undiminished zeal, its labors for
the relief of suffering humanity, over the
whole area of our country, wherever the
victims of disease and misfortunes solicit
friendly aid.

Not a Union of Force.
In 1833, the great and good Nathaniel
Macon of North Carolina, wrote to a friend
as follows :
'When the confederacies begin to fight,
liberty is soon lost, and the government as
soon changed. A government of opinion,
established by sovereign States'for special
purposes, cannot be maintained by force.
The use of force makes enemies, and ene
mies cann et live in peace under such
government.
Compromises. This appears to be a time
for compromises. A great many have been
suggested by all parties, but few of them
seem to meet with much approbation. It
is said by the Republicarrparty that the
compromises made by Democrats demand
all the concessions from the North ; and, in
consequence, we suppose, the editor of the
Republican, up town, has put forth a com
promise that he "can agree to." We have
not this medical sheet at hand, but as near
as we can remember, the compromise read
something like this: Let he Southern States
go to work and pass Personal Liberty Bills
for the protection of every free white man
who may go among them from the North,
and conduct himself properly as a citizen
should, no matter what may be his private
political opinions, and then things ma
pass off smoothly again.
Such a compromise is an insult to the
Southern States, and a fair display of ignor
ance on the part of the getter up. A man
who goes in the Southern States and "con
ducts himeelf properly as a citizen should,"
has all the protection he needs for his safety,
''no matter what his private political opin
ions may be." These Slates are provided
with ample laws for the protection of free
white men who behave themselves. This
is all thai any reasonable mar. would deem
necessary Men who go there and conduct
themselves badly are dealt with by the law
according to their deeds. In the North this
is the same.
The small-fry in ihe Republican party
were rather inclined to eulogize the Mes
sage of James Buchanan when they first
saw it. But their views ot it were soon
changed, after one or two publications of
the New York Tribune, Times, and the North
American, of Philadelphia. As a matter of
mnrse. these papers could not endorse the
what course they would pursuei The fiWt
couple of days these papers filed objections
to the document; and on the third and
fourth days they commenced showing caue
why objections were filed. By this time
both the small and large Press of the Re
publican party are bellowing most tremen
dously over the Message, and denounce it
as the poorest and weakest document ever
eminating from the President of the United
States. It dees not suit them, neither was
it intended to. James Buchanan is not apt
to make a mistake of this kind, and
put
forth a Mesage to their liking. He designs
being right, and issues his Slate papers ac
cordingly. He understands this Republi
can faction pretty well and has no notion of
allowing it to take any advantages of his
administration.
Louisiana.
From the special message of the Govern
or of Louisiana 10 the State Legislture, at its
recent extra session, we.exlract the follow-
paragraphs :
The time was when men shrank from
calculations of the value of the Union.
That has long since passed, and now ihey
who, during a long life, have ever cherish
ed and cultivated veneration for the Gov
ernment with an almost religious erver,
are driven to the contemplation of its dis
ruption. The Constitution is the only bond
of Union ; but if it is to be respected and
obeyed by the Northern people only when
it chimes whith their theoretical opinions,
or conserves their interests ; if we are prac
tically assigned the position of inferiors
when the letter and spirit of the bond is that
we are equals ; if we are to be oppressed
and despoiled or our property, and to be
tyrannized over by a hostile Government,
and expected to submit because the out
rage is perpetrated under the forms of law,
then it is better wg should retire from an
association which has ceased to benefit us
thronghjperversion from its original deaigc
I do not think it comports with the hon
or and self-respect of Louisiana, as a slave
holding State, to live under the Government
of a Black Republican President. I will
not dispute the fact that Mr. Lincoln is elec
ed according to the forms of the Constitu
tion ; bat the greatest outrages, both upon
public and private rights, have been per
petrated under the forms of law. This
question rises high above ordinary political
considerations. It involves our present
honor and our future existence as a free
and independent people. It may be said
that, when this Union was formed, it was
intended to be perpetual. So it was, so far
as such a term can be applied to any thing
human; but it was inteu ded to be admin
istered in the same spirit in which it
was made, with a scrupulous regard to
the equality ol the sovereignties composing
it. We certainly are not placed in the po
sition of subjects of a European depotism,
whose only door of escape from tyranny is
the right of revolution. I maintain the right
of each State to secede from the Uoion,and,
therefoie, whatever course' Louisiana may
pursue now, if any attempt should be made
by the Federal Government to coerce a
sovereign State, and compel her to submis
sion to an authority which she has ceased
to recognize, I should unhesitatingly recom
mecd that Louisiana assist her sister State
with the same alacrity and courage that the
Colonies assisted each other in their strug
gle against the depoiism of the Old World.
Groundless Rumors. The Washington
Stales U informed, on reliable authority,that
the rumors copied into the papers of atro
cities and acts of barbarism occurring at
Friar's Point, Miss., are entirely groundless
let Pennsylvania bo Set Right.
We believe it to be the wish of the ma
jority of the people of Pennsylvania that
any act now upon the statute dooks 01 mis
S'.ate which in any way obstructs, or may
by any possibility be made to obstruct the
execution of the fugitive slave law, should
be repealed arthe coming sePBion of the
Leaislature. This is required as an evi
der.ee that Pennsylvania is determined to
perform all her constitutional obligations
without hesitation. The act of 1780, provi
ding foe the gradual abolition of slavery in
Pennsylvania, expressly declared that relief
or shelter should not be given to any runa
way negro from another State, but that the
owner should have tha right and aid to de
mand and takejaway his servant. This ob
ligation was faithlully performed by State
f officersjwithout exciting any tumult or preju
dice, until the Supreme Court of the United
States decided, in the Prigg case, that Slate
officers could not be compelled to take
cognizance of the cases of fugitive slaves,
and that it was the duty of the general gov
ernment to provide for their rendition. Ta
king advantage of this decision, the Legis
lature in 1847 passed an act making it a
misdemeanor for any judge or magistrate
to take cognizance of the case of any fugi
tive from labor ; prohibiting the use of the
jails for the detention and safe-keeping of
fugitives, and punishing with fine and ira-
prisonmenthany owners of fugitives who
"shall, under any pretence whatever, vio
lently and lumultuosly seize upon and
"carry away to any place, or attempt to
"seize and carry away in a riotous, violent,
''tumultuous and unreasonable mancer,aud
"60 as to disturb and endanger the public
"peace, any negro or mulatto, either with
"or without the intention of taking such
"negro or mulatto before any district or
"circuit judge," &c. The manifest inten
tion of this language, which has lately been
re-enacted in the Revised Penal Code, is to
throw every obstacle in the way of an own
er attempting to re capture his runaway
slave. In case a master comes to this State
armed with a warrant for the re-capture of
his servant, and in attempting to arrest him
on the street, for the purpose of taking be
fore a United State-Judge or Commissioner,
a mob of negroes and Abolitionists create a
riot, it might possibly be held such a dis
turbance and endangering of the public
peace as to render the master liable to the
penalty of this act. Mark, the riot or dis-
against the rcob 'en'langarVlts fienp uftc
peace by attempting a rescue. The clau-
ses against kidnaping in this same act are
amply sufficient to protect the negro from
unjust seizure, and provisions against riot
ous disturbances of the peace should be di
rected against rescuing mobs, and not
against claimants, who have enough diffi
culties in their way without this additional !
obstacle to the recovery of their property.
That portion of this act prohibiting the
use of jail was repealed in 1852. It re
mains to be seen whether the Legislature
of 1861 will repeal the sections now in
force, which were evidently intended to dis
courage, il not to prevent entirely, the la
Ling of fugitive slaves.
In these days, when eo much is said
about following in the footsteps of ihe fath
ers, it may be well to remember that the
act of 1780, abolishing slavery in Pennsyl
vania, authorized the owners of slaves to
bring and retain such slaves within this
Commonwealth for a period of six months;
so that in those good old fraternal times a
Southern man might travel through Penn
sylvania or spend the summer at any of our
watering places acompanied by his domes
tic servants without forfeiting his right to
them, and without the fear of having them
violently taken or enticed away by Aboli
tionists. The act cf 1847 repealed this por
tion of the law of 1780. If the fathers could
accord this privilege to their Southern breth
ren why cannot we ? Much as we would
like to see this spirit of fraternity restored,
we are totally opposed to inviting Southern
tourists to travel through or sojourn in Penn
sylvania, accompanied by their domestic
servants, without affording them ample se
curity that their negroes would not be sto
len from them. It would only embitter
feeling to entice them hera and then permit
outrages upon their rights. We desire that
this provision of ihe act of 17S0 may be re
stored, but only upon condition .ihat it is
restored in the same spirit lhat originally
enacted it; and accompanied with the as
mrancefthat the wholejpower of the Slate
Government shall be exerted to restore ser
vants violently taken from the masterand in
case of failure, that he be paid the full value
thereof. Upon any other conditions than
these the restoration of the act of 1780
would be adding insult to injury inviting
Southern men to bring their cervauts into
Pennsylvania lo be'6tolen by Abolition
mobs.
If the Democrats had control of the Legis
lature, we know that they would expunge
every objectionable fea;ure of the act ol
1847 within a week after the day of meeting.
Cut the power rests entirely with the Re
publican majority, and it remains to be
seen in what temper they will deal with
this important subject whether they will
will clear the 6kirts of Pennsylvania from
every cause of complaint, or persistency
cling to injustice. Jhrrisburg Union.

Educate the Brain.
We design entertaining our readers a
few moments npon this very important sub
ject, from the fact we think it one neglected
more than any other. The brain, as you
all know, or ai least we suppose you do, is
not a simple organism, but a eries of or
gans and compartments. See, then, that
yon do not unduly exercise one power, let
all have '.heir share of employment ; this
may at present be difficult, bnt it is becom
ing every day more easy of attainment. All
the powers of the brain were sjiven for em
ployment and exercise, of this we may be
assured ; let there be a variation of employ
ment ; thns, the power of each compart
ment may be increased, and, let it be re
membered, too, that variation of mental
employment is relaxation ; a pase of Mil
ton, and a mathematical problem, seem
very opposite to each other, bnt this is the
very reason why one may perhaps follow
closely npon the other; it is in the princi
ple of reaction that we find the method
of the physical development of the brain ;
there is a rush of blood to that organ which
is called into play, an 1 the flo7 and reflow
resulting from the intensity of mental opera
tion, expands the organ and increases its
enersy and power. We are unable to ex
plain how this is, nor can we explain why
an increase of strength should be the prop
erty of the arm from the increase of exer
cise. We cannot explain it; the fact is
there, let us use it.
Institute. The Teachers' Institute of
Columbia county met in session on Monday
last, at Orangeville, to continue until Fri
day. The proceedings will, appear in onr
next. We hope the attendance is a good
one.
The public Schools of this place will not
take in until after the holidays are over ; at
least so we are informed.
Amalgamation. A policeman of Cleve
land informs the editor of the Flnindealer, of
that city, that he personally knows of over j
thirty negroes who are living as man and
wile with white women in tne city 01 cieve-i-.l
Srnrn Lincoln's election and the tri
lives are returning from Canada to Uhio
feeling quite as secure there as in the
Queen's Domains.
