Thk TKiry Bill hai passed and was
igned by James Buchanan just before leav
ing the,. Executive Chait ... It passed the
Senate by a vote of 25 to 14 nays, Bigler
and Cameron, of this Stale, both supporting
the Bill by rote and speech.. Douglas, with
thirteen other Democrats, voted against the
bill. The President was in great doubt for
some time as to whether he would sign the
new tariff bill. He said he had examined
tome of its more important features, and he
regarded it as a very imperfect and loosely
drawn bill." He yielded, however, to the
passions of some of his Pennsylvania
friends, and on the 2d inst. signed the bill.
The tariff, so -much asked for by the Repub
lican party, has at last been brought about
under Democratic rule. They would not
have received a tariff under the adminis
tration of Lincoln; we are satisfied of ihst
(act from what he has said about the tariff.
He knows nothing about a tariff
In Washington City, ot the 1st inst.j the
Cabinet was far from being settled There
was ait irrepressible conflict going on be
tween Greely's abolitionists and the Seward
Republicans and it continueJ on night
and day, "from morn to dewy eve."- Chase,
of Ohio, has active friends ami they averred
that he is the Treasury, and nothing would
do but he must 'have it. How tbey will
reconcile this matter, is yet to be seen.
They are all earnest, greedy competitors.
At certain points one man's chances . may
be considered uppermost and in less than
12 honrs down as low as zero. Thus goes
the tide office seekers swim in. On the
evening of the 1st, Mr. Lincoln was sere
naded, and in response, it is said, he made
a conciliatory speech ; after which Mr.
Corwin was serenaded, and as a matter of
course, he made some remarks, in which
eTeauJ," "if the President' policy failed to
conform to Constitutional doctrines, he
.vnuld be abandoned by the men who elect
ed him."
r : - The Republican Party.
The Repulican party are in power. This
party installed in office on Monday last,
their choice to administer the affairs qf this
Government, the next four years. This
man is Abraham Lincoln of Illinois, a man
certainly of little experience as a statesman,
and no lare acquaintance wiih political
life generally. Re no doubt is aware of the
weighty responsibilities resting upon him.
although prior to his inauguration, he treat
ed them very lightly. The country is dis
traded, one part of our Union appearingly,
is arrayed against the other, and he must
adopt such a policy as will adjust all diffi
culties, restore peace and harmony, and
brine back those six seceeding States into
the Union, and then, in the words of the
Republican Governor of this State, "the
people will call him b'eesed." In making
bis Cabinet selections it is believed he is
taking the more moderate portion of his
party, at least it is now so considered
But last fall people would have thought
differently, when we come to "look over
Sewards's past political record. He now is
said to be conservative, and no doubt, upon
such professions, has secured a place in
Lincoln's Cabinet, at the exclusion of many
other applicants much lss objectionable
witli the masses. Seward could not receive
the nomination at the Chicago Convention,
simply because of his close identy with a
certain pack of Abolitior.ists, and his too
willingness to carry out his irrepressible doc
trines. This is assigned by his own party
as the chief, and by many as the only, rea
son why he was not nominated This may
be as they have it, he was not too obnox
ious to rereive the appointment of Secre
tary of State under Lincoln. There was
opposition to his appointment in his own
party, but not sufficient to sway old Abe.
iiii . i i i ... .: i
v nemer nis claiming io ti'iiservaiiMii nas i
bad anything to do with getting his posi
tion in the Cabinet, remains as yet a dead
letter.
Who is Geru Fesaenden of JIaine.
Senator Fessenden, of Maine, has made
himself conspicuous ; during the present
session of Congress for his rudeness, im
pertinence and uncompromising hostility
to conciliatory measures. We have been
much, mistaken in this man's character,
having supposed until the present se-sinn
of Congress, that he was a moderate Re
publican, and a man of more than ordinary
digntiy of character.
If he be, as we suppose, the Gen. Fessen
den who figures in the subjoined extract
from an old file of the Boston Po$lt then his
character is sufficiently explained, and his
vulgar manners are readily accounted for.
Says the Post :
A Colored Gent lemon nt the Bar. We learn
from the Portland American that Gen. Fes
senden, a day or two since, appeared be
fore the District Court and moved that a
colored gentleman from Boston, who was
then with him, be admitted to practice as
an attorney and counsellor at law in the
Courts of Maine. The motion was made
under the new law, which makes all citi
zens of good moral character, eligible to
admission. The necessary certificate was
produced, but the Court refused the motion
on the ground thai the candidate was not in
fact a citizen. A Miccesslul application
will probably be made at the October term,
adds tho American.
Inauguration at the Point of the JJayonet.
To day, at Washington, will be presented f Secretary, C. B. Brockway ; Treasury, M.
Prceecdifigs of the Teachers Association.
Pursuant to the announcement of the
Executive Committee, the Teachers' Asso

Semi Annual meeting in the School-house,
at Light Street, cn Saturday, February 9th
1861.
FORENOON SESSION.
The Association was called to order by
the President, Wu. Buburss. The minutes
of the last meeting were read and adopted .
On motion of C. B. Brockway, the Presi
dent was authorized lo appoint two com
mittees, each consisting of three ; one to
solicit the n&mes of those ,wishing to be

didates for the respective offices of the As
sociation. Whereupon, he appointed
Messrs L Appleman, County Superinten

committee on Membership, and Messrs. C
B. Brockway, M. Whitmoyer and Miss H.

Startle not at he announcement; it is true
too true ! Already six of the beautiful col-
a spectacle novel to this country, which, if
it does not terrify the heart of every patriot,
must give even the most inconsiderate
cause for painful reflection. For the first
time in the history of this country the Presi-
dent delivers his inaugural, surrounded ana
guarded not by the honest hearts of a hap
py people, but safely ensconced out of the
people's reach, within a military cordon
bristling with bayonets. Such a scene has
been witnessed in the Grand Square at Na
ples, with Ferdinand for the central figure;
but Abraham Lincoln is the first President
of the United States whose conduct or opin
ion have been such as to inspire one of his

shall at least have left us a Federal Union
of nineteen homogeneous States free, pop
ulous and powerful, with an efficient cen
tral organization and a continent for its de
velopment The Southern confederacy, on
the contrary, vitiated by the suicidal prin
ciple of Slate secession, will be only an ag
gregated disintegration, a rope of hand, a
tossing, incoherent chaos ol petty national!
ties. There can be no question as .o ihe
result. Rent by internal discords and jeal
ousies, the seceding S.ates will, one by one,
abolish slavery and return, under ihe irre
istib!e force of social gravitation, to the
peaceful haven of national unity, under the
constitution handed down to us by our
laihers. AT. II Tribute.
We are no longer permitted lo doubt lhat
the settled design of lhat portion of the Re
publican party repr-sented by the Tribune
has all along been, and now is, to "slough
ofF' the fifteen Southern States, from asep
a'e.Northern confederacy, and then, releas
ed from the oblijations imposed by Feder
al Constitution, lo operate epon the South
ern States in such a way as to rend them
by internal discord and jealousies until the
business of freeing the negroes can be
easily ncomplished. Any compromise
which would reult in retaining the Border
States in the Union' would spoil thi pro
gramme, and hence the violent opposition
of the Tribune clique to any a'raiigement
calculated to perpetuate the Union.

Today will complete the Presidential
term of Mr. Buchanan, and that of Mr. Lin
coln will commence. Amid the high par
tizan excitement now existing, with the
hopes of the victorious, with the anxiety of
the wary, il is not the time to criticise the
career of either. One has passed into his
tory, the other can only be described in
prophecy, and such prophecy as would
have to be made had better be avoided, and
God grant lhat its realization, may be avert
ed. A few words may, however, be truthful
ly and fairly spoken about Mr. Buchanan ;
he has been abused, maligned and reviled
with a coarseness ana licentiousness, not
altogether unequalled, but paralleled only
by the abuse revilings and malignity whicn
were poured upon Jefferson and Jackson.
Polk and Pierce came in for a moderate
share, but the prominence of the others
made them the targets for a bolder, strong
er and coarser attack. With all this reck
less abuse, no one had dared to breathe a
syllable against the private character of Mr.
Buchanan ; it is spotless, and his public
career will find its proper appreciation
when the curtain of treachery and falsehood
is lifted. His foreign policy has been such
as to defy censure or criticism.' No other
Administration, in our day, has gone
through without some foreign complication,
while important questions, such as the right
of search forever given up to us through
his agency, the San Joan question, the
Paraguay and New Grenada difficulties,
and the troubles in Mexico, have all occur
red during the last four years.
On entering the office, he found a rebel
lion existing in Utah, thou-anda of miles
distant, and promptly ended that; he has
provided for his native State a Tariff, such
as its people wanted, which could not have
been obtained from the next Administra
tion ; and ith secession in the booth and
a concentrated opposition at the North, he
has maintained the domestic peace of the
country not a blow has been struck, not a
gun has been fired, and no drop of blood
has been shed the Government, its prop
erty and its surroundings handed over to his
successor amid the peaceful plaudits which
always congratulate an incoming President
in perfect tranquility ; and this, too, despite
dark threats and gloomy fears. Had the
territorial policy recommended by him been
followed, and Kansai admitted lo self-gov
ernment three years ago, our country's flag
would still have been waving in every
State of the Union, a sectional strife would
have been avoided, and a sectional triumph
prevented. But lime will do him justice

plain talk what we really think of it, it is a

tion to the passage of the bill, took the lib
erty of saying that the influence of the
Pennsylvania railroad company was so
overshadowing as even to control the pro
ceedings of the late Democratic Conven
ver.tion, and prevent the passage of reso
lutions against the repeal of the tonnage
tax. Mr. Welsh very properly contradict
ed this unwarrantable assertion, by stating
that the Convention was called for the spe
cific and only purpose of deliberating upon
National affairs, and that while he, as an
individual, was opposed to every section
and line of the bill under discussion, he
would have opposed any action upon the
subject in the Conversion as entirely for

remarks, and impressed upon the teachers

The following question was then discussed,

Chairman, staled that it was now in the

in the course of a week's time. Action
was then taken where to hold the next
meeting of the Association, C. B Brock

nothing further said in reference lo it, pro
ceeded to other business.
On motion, it was agreed that a synopsis
of the proceedings be offered to the county
papers for publication. Several enrolled
their names as members.

as everything parsed off harmoniously, we

We allude to this incident for the purpose
of ebowing the line of argument pursued
by some of the opponents of the removal
of unwise restrictions imposed upon our
internal commerce, as well as to show lhat
the silence of the Democratic Convention
upon this particular bill was the result of
the wise discretion of its members, and not
attributable to those undue influences which
exist only in 'the minds of the suspicious
and Ihe credulous. Patriot ami Union.
The Wheat Prospect. The present

exceedingly favorable one for the growth
of the wheat crop. The wheat fields though

:'During an incidental debate, Mr. Love
joy , Republican, of Illinois, opposed an in
crease of the tax on ironehhet for horse-shoes
or rings for the snouts of swine, and he
proposed to reduce the duty on skates,
which were used by ladies as well as gen
tlemen for healthful exercise. He re.ts tired
of the m&atiuble ay of Pcnnty Ivania for protec
tion to iron.
"Mr. Stephens, Republican, of Pennsyl
vania said lhat skares were used by public
office holders for skating awa-. Laugh
ter.
"Mr. Campbell, Republican, of Pennsyl
vania, earnestly denied that the bill was lor
ihe interest of Pennsylvania any more than
for producers in all parts of the country.
"Mr. Lovejoy joined issue, denying
that the producer was protected by the
bill."
The Abolition Republicans have but one
principle in common, and lhat is negroism.
On all other questions they agree to disa
gree. Lovejoy, in Illinois, votes for Lin
coln, while he is against a tariff for the
protection of Pennsylvania. He even goes
so far as to snarl ai the "Banner State," and
to denounce her 'insatiable" greed for pro
tection to iron." Thaddeus Stevens, in Penn
sylvania, also votes for Lincoln, but unlike
Lovejoy, he is for giving protection to
Pennsylvania iron.
Thaddeus becomes facetious, and says
that skates are much affected by politicians.
Thaddeus ought to know, for' no man is
more "up to the rigs of London town."
He is familiar with all the arts and contri
vances to which demagoues resort.
The whole Republican parly is now on
slippery ground, and if it escapes a fatal
tumble, then the days of miracles have not
passed by. Lincoln tumbled the other day
and ihey are now much exercise ! by the
effort to lift this "six foot suckling" on his
feet again. Let them beware of the next
fall. - .
