MM OF TUB NOUTD av' Tvffe out JFJI W. JACOBY, EDITOR. "iBlOOaSBBEe, WEDNESDAY, MAY 2!, 1861. Andrews ts. Butler. : Gov. Andrews, of Mas.', has addressed a letter to'Brigadier Gen 'I Bailer, objecting to the coarse pursued by the latter in ten dering his command to suppress a reported slave insurrection ra Maryland. To this letter, Gen. Butler replies' in a letter that 'must have made the Governor's ears tingle, and if be has in his composition any sense ( or shame, oaeawild think he would hide his face, even from his most intimate friends. This letter of General Bailer should be pinted in letters of gold, ar.d placed in the house of every inhabitant throughout the land. - He has immortalized himself, and if be should never do another act in this life his name will go down lo future geueralioni covered with glory. 'We make no war on women and defence less children. We have nothing to do with the abolition of slavery, even in the rebel lious States, and it woald be gross inhu- " manity to allow a service race, even under the seeming protection of our armies, to sack the homes of our deluded brethren at tht South, and lay wane their land. It is the duty of our Generals, as ttey go forth to war, while they brandish the sword of jus tice in one hand, with the other to hold out the olive branch of peace and protection. This is not a war of conquest, but one to sustain the Government, and ensure a just administration of the law ; and the very best evidence we can give to our brethren that they are wrong is, to Bhow by our acts that we will not allow any wrong to be done to thera, even by their servile population We want no negroes to fight our battles, and we must not allow them to interfere "iih our quarrels. If abolitionists suppose that the great army of conservative men who have gone forth to sustain the Government is to be used as means to propagate and further their infernal end, they will find thm selves mistaken, and if it is attempted to 'use them for such a purpose, we will soon compel oar authorities to call them home again, and leave Gov. Andrews and his Abolition crew to do their own dirty work All honor, say we. to General Butler, for his noble and manly stand on behalf of right and humanity ; and we hope the time may come when the people can express to him, in a more tangible tform, their high appreciation of his talents and worth. : Who are Beady to do the Fighting. A correspondent of one of oar exchanges writing from Harrisburg, 6ays while the Republicans are fussing and fuming and flirting around the Democrats of the old Keystone are qnietly enlisting in the de fense of their country ready lojigkt for its honor and its flag. He says it is an actual fact that, at least, two thirds of those who are enlisting voted the Democratic ticket. We are informed that one regiment that was . sent off were all Democrats but forth five The Democracy o' the Keystone State keep step to the music of Union, will allow none but the stars and stripes lo wave over our once happy land as long as Heaven gives them an arm to defend it. The same seems to be the case in Ohio, as the Cleaveland Plaiudealer says that of the Reserve (Giddings District,) five to one .were . Democrats. We do not regard this as" anything strange, for the Democrats were always and under all circumstances, the warm friends of the Union. mAwat Down in Cairo." The town of Cairo, at the Junction of the Ohio and Mis sissippi rivers, has become a point of con siderable importance in the West. There is a force of 4,300 federal troops now sta tioned there, under General Swift Strong batteries are erected on and behind the le vees which command both rivers, and the difficulty of landing troop on the swampy ground around that post is so great that Cairo may be considered safe from any at tack by the Southern troops. Heretofore steamers laden with provisions were per mitted to pss down the Mississippi but we learn from Washington that Secretary Chase has issued orders to all the Western Collectors to grant no more clearance to steamboats going to the rebel States, and to search every vessel going Sooth and to seize alt monitions ' of war and provisions intended for any State on the Mississippi, except Kentucky and Missouri. Cokcbms. As oar readers are aware theie' is a Congressman to be elected iu this district to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Hon. George W. Scranton. The wonder is who will be the man or who is the person fit &nJ equal to the emergency' , As yet we have noticed very little 'said up on this important matter through cor public prints within the district, neither do we know of any particular person we woald suggest should fill this office.' What we would say is, let some proper person be selected, one . who is amply qualified for the position, and withal, one who is a true patriot and a thorough Union man. None eUe can succeed, and we hope aad believe that we have none other in the District A lit a oar assistance and influence in this raatter can go, it shall be used for no cther person than he who is and has been true to ihe Constitution and its laws. We want no wavering or triSing person who troa!J swerve from true doctrines for party . . . - ."-,, : , f THE WAE.; f Six months ago the country was' in a state of peace and prosperity. Now we are plunged in a civil war, and almost all departments of business are more or less embarrassed. At the Presidential election in November last, a large and powerful party at the North stood by the people ol the South, and were ready to yield to them almost all they asked. Now there has been a complete diversity of the people of the North from their brethren of the South, and one united voice goes op from the free States for punishment and vengeance upon the brigands and tricksters who have led the people of the South to make war upon the General Government and the free insti tutions founded by the Fathers of the Revo lotion. Why are these things so ? But one answer can be returned. They have come to pass by the wish, desire and manage mer.t of the political swindlers who are now leading the South on to ruin. These same politicians, by pre concert, broke up the Democratic National Convention, se cured a split in the party, with a design and intent of electing a Republican Presi dent. They succeeded ; and while every department of the General Government, ex cept the Executive, was in the hands of their friends, when they could have pre vented the passage of every law in any wise interfering with their peculiar domes tie institutions, they secede from the Union as they did from the Democratic Conven tion, and make the election of Lincoln, which they planned and themselves brought about, a pretext for treason, theft, robbery and murder Why do they so? One rea son is the slave States are largely indebted lo the North, and by secession they wipe out and repudiate all debts, public and pri vate, and have appointed Jefferson Davie, who was chiefly instrumental, a few yearn ago, in inducing Mississippi to repudiate her honest debts, President of the so called Southern Confederacy Bat the Chief rea son why the political gamesters of the South are leading their people on to des truction is that they feel themselves supe rior to the free laboring men of the North ; and while thev look down unon them as . , , 1 -ii m -1 inferiors, and as the mudsills" of society, a they cannot endure the thought that the masses of the North and West, composed of farmers, mechanics, and laboring men, should deign to no matter in how large a majority settle the policy of the country, or to ask any place of importance in the civil or military departments of the Govern ment until the Sliddell's. Toombs. Davis, Yancy's and other "First Families" of southern nabobs are provided for. These men would be rulers and princes over us, Dot simply our co equals under a common government, and seeing that they are far j outstripped in numbers by the North, are determined that the people shall bow down j to thera and that they, the minority, shall ; rule over the majority. Any compromise which may hereafter be cooked up with the-e buecancers will involve a submission of the people to the rule of heartless men, who care for nothing and nobody but their precious selves, and who", to annoy, embar rass and injure the Norlh, will rob, steal and born with as much unblushing wick edness and blood-thirBtiness as ever dis graced a European depot They may have a few seedy politicians at the North who will join in their cry for compromise, to whom they have promised honors, and rewards, but the heart of the people is right and they will never submit their necks to the yoke prepared for them by the proud lordlings of the South or their minions at the North. What is the Difficulty. The Southern papers have generally been very discreet in treating of insubordination among troops and similar unpleasant oc currences. But the Charleston Courier, in the report of a speech made by Gov Pick ens, on the occasion of the return of the First Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers from .Morris Island, represents the Governor to have used this significant language: "He regretted exceedingly that any thing should have occurred to produce a disturb ance in their ranks. Although they had not volunteered to go to Virginia, yet there were circumstances which induced them lo refuse, that to them, as volunteers, might be justifiable. He was proud to say they had not refuted Irom want of patriotism or cour age. On the contrary, there were many circumstances which were know to ibe offi cers of the regiment alone and lo them selves. He knew they were as brave, as noble, and as patriotic a body of troops as ever came forward so gallantly to sustain the State. He had no censure to pass, but on the contrary, returned them bis heart felt thanks for the noble endurance and pa tience with which they had nearly served out their time." " Ho Tarty bat the Country ! Tbs above is the catch word and the cry of ihu Republican presses all over the land jat now. ' The country is in war, and we most sink party," bay they. Our neighbor of th Record says, "we are willing to bnry party feeling and hope others are equally willing." 1 In the same paragraph is the following ' remarkable commentary upon this fine-sounding profession : "For Congress. A member of Congress is soon to be elected to fill the vacancy oc casioned by the death of Col Scranton. It is of the almost importance at this juncture that a firm and unyielding supporter of the Administration should be selected.", There reader, yon have what is meant, at least in this meridian, by the bypocriti cal cry of "sinking" party! Democrats are asked to sacrifice all their principles and their party preferences upon the alter of their t country. Don't breathe a word in reference to party while the war lasts; but when yoa come to vote for a Congressman, remember that none bat a genuine . Lincoln Pe publican one who can swear by the Chicago- platform mat be elected! , Who cannot ea through this tbinT veil! If the Three months or Three Years. " i . . f Gov. Curtin ' has, . alter correspondence with the Secretary of War, Issued the fol lowing circular to the Colonels of the Penn sylvania Regiments muBtered into service for three months, under the first call of the President: Sir: I have been requested by the Sec retary of War to let the Regiments now in the service of the Stale know that it is ' pre ferred to have all the Regiment' already mustered into service for three months, which are not actually sent forward, remus tered into service for three years or during the War, should they be willing to do so." I therefore deem it proper to direct that you immediately ascertain the preference of your Regiment upon this question, and communicate the result forthwith to me. Those who do not desire to re enlist for this additional period can be lormed into Regiments, or have isuch arrangements, made as to enable them to retire with hon or, in accordance with their enlistment. I cannot refrain from saying that it would afford me much pleasure to see the Regi ments so promptly and patriotically offered to the State give 'this additional and more enduring evidence of continued devotion to their country. Verr respectfully yours, A. G. CURTIN, G-ernor and Commander-in-Chief. 'Political Differences Must be Obliterated!' Our Republican friends in their overheat ed anxiety to have Democrats to rally in support of the Lincoln Administration, tell us that all political differences must be ob literated and all party ties broken up Now, this all sounds very nice, and looks well on paper; but suppose you, Republi cans, give us an example of your sincerity in this matter. Let ns know whether you are willing to throw aside parly in your ap pointments to office ? Are you willing that the Democrats shall have half the offices yet to be filled by Lincoln ? Or are you wil ling to divide the officers of the next Con gress, in which you have a majority, equal ly between Black Republicans and Demo crat? Come, now, speak out let us know whether there is to be any cheating in thi matter of obliterating party lines is it to be a general obliteration or do you de sire democrats only to desert their party principles principles that are founded on i . l r : i .1 r .11: it e v. oiimiiuiiuii anu join ine ixeuuuiiian rarms ; iei me mnimsiraiiun biup int-ir proscripiive policy let them stop turning out Democrats from every petty office, and we will believe that they are sincere in their expressed desire to have all party ties j- one dependant upon them, who were run obliterated.

When the Republicansshow some signs of being sincere in their preaching of the doctrine of yielding op of party ties, il will be time enough for Democrats to take the subject into consideration.

One Southerner, a Marylander, an old man with ay hair, spoke to me on the subject thus : "Maryland," said he, "has an account to settle with Pennsylvania, and it will be set lied now. The blood of nn' neighbor Gor- such, and the blood of his son, murdered in Pennsylvania by Pennsylvanians ten years ago, cries from the ground for ven- geance " He then went on to say that as soon as a sufficiently strong force could be collecten, Washington would be attacked. inI at tha amn iim annthpr Southern ar- my would invade. Pennsylvania. Your readers can place what reliance they please jpon these statements. My duty is per formed when they are put on record. Bradford Troops We copy the follow ing from the Lycoming Gazette : Several companies of troops have passed through Williamsport, returning home from Camp Crutin. We nave been informed that they returned home because they would not consent to volunteer for three years, but for that we cannot vouch. Thev belona lo the counties north of this. Take care friend Clarke. Yoa are tread ing on delicate ground. We were threat ened annihilation lor n.etioning the tact merely that they had left here.

He would forthwith be denounced as a Secess ionist, and his property threatened by insti gators of mob law .Patriot and Union. "Inapsaeks or the4Demoerats.' . : From the New York Daily Ntw, we clip the following article, with the remark that it is a very fair parallel of the state of things in this section of the country. As the Re publican presshere"see.Tis intent on mak ing political capital out of this war, and of charging the Democratic party and its pres ses wiln disloyally, we take it a perfectly legitimate that lh facts should be shown to the public : "It is slated that the little Democratic county of Putnam has contributed no less than three'hutidred volunteers to fight Old Abe's battles, and that of these there is not a. single Republican every man, rank and file, voted against Lincoln last Fall ! , The Captain of a Buffalo volunteer com pany writes us that not a single man in his company voted for Lincoln. Of ninety-eight recent army recruits in that city, ninety one were Democrats ! It is thus that the Re publicans get Democrats to fight the battles. The facts we slate are only indices of the state of the case everywhere. 'Knapsacks for Democrats , offices for Republicans." It is noticeable that not a regiment has been yet marched out of this Slate from any county except New York, Kings, Ul-ter and Albany. These four counties gave a majority of 34,590 against Abraham Liu coin and the Chicago Platform, last Fall The number of volunteers they have thus far furnished is about 31,000. Now, in all probability, nine tenths of these volunteers are Democrats; and thus it will be seen lhai the Democratic majority in these lour counties is already all but annihilated while the Republican levies in the Abolitionized rural Districts are carefully kept within the State ! , , A Republican at Washington said the other day that before November next the Democratic majority of New York City would have disappeared on the fieid of bat tle. As none of the Republican counties have yet sent a single regiment to Wa-hing ton, we begin to think there may be some thing in all this " W e have il from data which we deem perfectly reliable, that of the regiment from Luzerne, commanded by Col. Emley, there are but 57 Republicans in the rank, out of nearly 900 men. Scores of Democrats, with dependant families, left good situations and enlisted, while young men, with no made up, and then with four companies . . . .-.I .1 Irom those great counties less than Wilkes quite all Democrats, and right down good fellows and toll of determination lo defend their country's flag, uphold its honor and j mamtaing its government, This state of facts shows conclusively hat the Democratic party is, as it ever has been, loyal to the country that Democrats '. are the first to fly to the national succor in timen ol peril. It snows mat mey are wu lin to do this notwithstanding they believe that they are in no wise responsible for this state of things and that il Mr. Lincoln had t... a-,a o.,n., nnt.l now bft peaceful and happj.

The Charleston Courier says, that on Sun day last, GenBeauregard went to visit the different pons on the coast of South Caro lina to make locations for batteries.

It will extend to tha Wor and Attorney General's offices, and it i understood Mr. Walker and Mr. Benja man are to change places. The Staunton (Va) Spectatot, says that "the consecrated remains of General Wash ington have been removed from Mt.
