PITTSIfO RUH POSTi FRIDAY, JANUARY 17 DE. BRownsow ON BOLT• TION AGITATION, Among the able men of the Northern Shtfes, who have published the most re markabrerivarnings of the dangerous tendenties of Abolition agitation, Dr. BroWnson, of Brownson's Review, stands pre-eiatiiiif, Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster, d their compatriots in Congress, dwelt uponAhni subject upon many memora ble occasions. They predicted the very state of aftalrs, which has overtaken us, if we peraiiited in seotional agitation.— They knew that there were dissmionists in the South, who would turn Northern agitation against their institutions to a dangerous account, and use it, finally, as a pretext for breaking up the govern , meat. But Northern Abolitionists heed ed not they went on agitating until they became so fanatic as to proclaim our union with the South "a covenant with death and an agreement with hell." Among the Northern men who con fronted these extreme fanatics, was Dr. Brownson.; he not only denied their positirms.in regard to slavery as a politi cal institution, but justified it upon high moral authority. Calhoun was his model as a statesman, and after him, a poor imitation of that able man, Barnwell Rhett, of South Carolina. Of all the men ot the South, who ever figured in the councils of the nation, this Mr. Rhett was, perhaps, the most offensive to Northern prejudices and principles. • Twenty years ago he belonged to a little party. of South Carolina disunionists, who never let an opportunity pass to exalt "their peculiar institution, and condemn -and disparage Northern customs and soeiety. This man was too violent even fir;t l 4 people of South Carolina, and eren - tiow, when one would think that the, most ultra would be demanded to conduct her councils, we find this Rhett left in retirement, and more moderate men.chosen to conduct her public affairs. , Thegreat plsouliarity which gave Mr. Rhett Some notoriety, was the extrava gance of his theories and positions; he was an advocate of slavery in the ab stract, affidea iwhich no Northern man, andAsw'-Southern ones, then had the courage- to avow. This extravagance recommended him to extravagant men, and, among the number was Dr. Orestes Brownson. In January, 1847, Mr. Rhett delivered a speech upon a bill excluding slavery from the Territory of Oregon, which President Polk subsequently signed In commenting upon this speech, Dr. Brownson says: •'As conductor some years since of the Boston Quarterly Review, we took occasion to express our views of the Abolitionists; and though many, many changes have come over us, and we can hardly be recognized by our readers as the same man that we were then, our estimation of them remains unaltered, except that, ii possible, we now hold them in still greater detestation.— They are the worst enemies of the cmntry and the worst enemies, too, of the slave. They are a band of mad fanatics, and we have no language strong enough to ex press our abhorrence of their principles and proceedings. * * * * * We have no sympathy with the Abolition. ista. Man, we are ready to maintain, may have property in man, a valid right to the services of his slave—though no dominion over his soul ; and where the master is a trueehristian, and takes care that his peo ple are instructed and brought up in the true Christian faith and worship, slavery is tolerable, and for negroes, pernaps, oven more than tolerable." One would carcely imagine that a estlaf - man full fifty years of age, enter ' , g these opinions upon the necessity , rpriety of slavery, could ever be !,agard it as a league with hell. But it :I:2te common to see the bright, oat intense :king from one extreme to another. Of "1: Dr. Brownsoo I; a lamanteble enrample. His notions of emancipation now, are no more reasona ble and practical than were his ideas of slavery in 1847, After disposing of the moral view of the institution, Mr. Brownson proceeds to thd discussion of the constitutional objections urged by the opponents of slavery to its extension over flee terri tory. in this he went the extreme length claimed by the extremest south erner—that the government possesses nopower to prevent its extension. He I says: "For ourself we agree perfectly with Mr. Bhett in his position, that the political • sovereignty with us rests originally not in the Union, but in the States severally which have made the Union, and from which the Union derives its existence and all its powers," The effort here is to prove the para mount authority of State rights, in de fiance of national legislation ; this sen tence also contains all now contended for by the rebels, that the States are above the Union, and justified in seceding from its authority. " The more perfect Union," which was formed by amend- meats to the old Constitution, Rhett and Brownson discard; and were he now a citizen of a southern State, his doctrines here recorded—independent of his in. olinations to rush to extremes—would unquestionably lead .hini to the front rank of those who contend for the le gality of secession. Such papers as the Pittsburgh Gazette will undertake to an swer these weak points in Dr. Brownson by saying that "he has changed his opinions." But this will not excuse a man of his remarkable ability and learn ing. Or if he is to be excused, for changing his opinions so radically, why then we shall contend►that his opinions 'are not worth anything. Such men are dangerous, and well ,calculated to lead their followers astray. Experience has demonstrated that what Mr. Brownson said of abolitionists in 1847 is nearly true, - and we . therefore select him then, and' experience since, to refute what he tells ns now. Upon tl at occasion, he con-- tinned as follows, and we commend it to the attention of our - readers as being admirably descriptive of the people to whom it refers : "There is no greater evil possible to hu, runny than is threatened by theee Abo. Mon and other associa ops - Wh swarm over the land, and seek* Ond to ue Gotc ilia of is y end-it is the dtWif etarf one whigotee Wood, his race, h r hi s country, to oppose to them the • finmoWend ;;lost . persevering resistance That ate self.Ciwated, itresponsibleo and without any authority to decide on any moral or political question, except What they arrogate to themselves. Whatever their avowed objects, they are engines de structies of all true liberty. They are formed for and against every thing, and usurp control over both the private and public hnscience. Already have they be come in the so.called Free States nearly intolerable. They 'are everywhere; they annoy us in our downsitting and uprising, in our eating and drinking, in our sleeping and waking. They overawe juries, they make the judge hesitate in his charge, and render the impartial administration of justice nearly impracticable. The magis trate fears to encounter them, and must obtain their permission, before venturing to discharge his duties. If we yield to them on ene point, we must on another take the law from their dictation on one occasion, we -must on all occasions, and bold filer property, our liberty, and our corowiences only at their mercy. Let us break up today the legal order of the Country in reference to slavery at their bid ding, and to.morrow we must do it in reference to some other question, next day to still another. All security then is gone. We are at the mercy of a wild, infatua ed, and fickle multit fde. The evils of negro slavery are but the duet in the balance with the evils we should then experience. No, never trample on law and constitutions in obedience to the mandates of self-cons stunted and irresponsible associations, which no well-ordered State can safely tolerate. A thousand times better is it to be the slave of the most brutal master, than to come ender their lawless and fan. atical sway." ELEGANT EXTRACTS Major litlßBtl Errett, of the Gasette,and Paymaster in the army, is not at all satisfied with the removal of :his friend, Gen. Cameron. In yesterday afternoon's issue he has two letters, dated Washington, January 15th and 15th. In the first of these he says: "It is manifest, however, that the retire fag Secretary called down upon his head, by the manly ground he took upon the slavery question in his annual report, an opposition which has had much to do with his resignation, It was, in the view of many, too early to take such advanced groi.nd ; but the antislavery men of the country owe him a debt of4gratitude for the boldness, ability and manliness with which he presented views which must, 800 ier or later, control the action of the govern men t." It is very evident that if the people owe Cameron a "debt of gratitude," the Administration does not think so. In the second letter Major Errett, after giv ing expression to the original idea that Mr. Stanton, "he, hopes," will, after a while, adopt Cameron's discarded poli cy, says: "Another fact, also, is apparent ; that this Administration, elected purely on Republican grounds, is no longer to be distinctively Republican. In calling Dem. ocrats to its Cabinet councils, it abandons the issues upon which it was elected.— Hereafter we will be told by Democrats that we tried to carry on the government upon a Republican basis, and tailed; that we had to call in Democrats to our help, and that the Republican party is no longer an Administration party. All the honor of conducting the war will thenceforth be claimed by the Democrats, and if they succeed in settling it upon a pro-slavery basis, they will doubtless claim the grate, tude of Lne country for it But let us' wait and see " This Errett is about as crazy as the rest of his tribe; "hereafter," he says, "they will be told that they could not carry on the Administration on a Repub. lican basis." We tell him that now, and the responsible members of the Cabinet already see it. The idea of prosecuting a war against the Southern rebellion upon abolition principles is too silly for notice. Now, if Major Errett and those who think with him do not like the course of the President in re moving Cameron for his extreme aboli tion sentiments, he ought to follow his chief, and not hold on to a ainecure'from the War Department. If nothing but worn out and condemned abolitionism will do him let him show his grit by re signing his place; this thing of opposing an administration and at the same time holding office under it is most intoler able and not to be endured. The Tonnage Tax, en Tuesday, in the House of Repre- sentatives, Mr. Hopkins, of Washington county, offered the following resolution, which was adopted : Resolved, That the Oommittee' on the Judiciary be instructed to bring in a bill for the repeal of the sot of last session, en titled "An Act for the commutation of tonnage duties." The resolution now goes to the Senate, where it will probably give rise to some discussion. It must now be determined whether the Act of last session is a bind ing contract between the ,State and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, or whether it can be repealed at pleasure by the former. Mr• Morgan's Purchase of Vessels - - - - Secretary Weiles' reply to the crieries of the Senate MI state that Mr. Morgan was appointed because of his responsibility and tltness,and after heavy frauds were discovered in the purchase of yes sets by government agents. He was appointed first to buy only a few vessels. Afterward he was retained to buy all the vessels needed,lest by mai_ tiplying agents competition would spring up and cense a rice in prices. The Secretary will give in his reply full particulars of the purchase of every vessel, and other information it is right the Senate should have, The reply will be sent in in a day or two. The Retrenchment Bill Mr. Sherman's retrenchment bill in the Senate is much discussed. The ealari cs of members of Coo. small ass untouched, but their mileage is reduced to "ten cents per mile, to be computed by the most direct travel route." The salaries of all the regular clerks are reduced by the terms of the bill. Another bill from the same Senator regulates and reduces the pay of army officers. Under it the Maim-General commanding receives a salary of $4OO per month; every other Major-General 1300 1 each Brigadier-0 eneral, $240; each Colonel $200; each Lieutenant-Colonel WO; each Major $100; each Captain l2os each First Lieutenant $lOO, and each Second Lieutenant sBo,and so on.

Governer Letcher quotes largely from the Federal constitution and the declaration of hide• pane ence. amuses the Federal government of all sorts of crime and misdem eenors, and c• ncluded as follows: The occurrences of the past nine months have demonstrated conclusive) , thst we cannot live to gether as equals under the government of the United States; and the habitue! violation of the provie'one of the constitution, and the open elle regard of the laws by Preeldent Lincoln and his officiate, render government amociation between us impossible.

'rta the mob of the North, and its moutk.pleoe, the press of the North, that has urged on their armies to certain defeat. Bo tar, our President and all our officers hate disregarded the senseless clamor of home-keep log people, who talk and write ignorantly, thought' less y and recklessly about the conduct of the war, which may comprehend about as well as they do the Onaldato language, or the Egyptian hieroglyphics. Out of danger's way themselves, they' db not teal or care for the useless danger to whichlhey would expoaie ivir troops. Our officers, whether volunteers or regulars, hays exhibited es• markable prudence, skill and sagacity. As con scientious men they have endeavored to gain vie tory with littla loss of life. In tho they have sue waded, be they have fought the enemy at ad. vantage, anti . ..peva at disadvantage. An army acting on the de ar in its own territory, may by retreating choose ha own position for battle. Th• iovadinvirmy must either cease to askance, give up Its project of conquest, or shack it at a die' advantage in the strong position which it has se lected. • • • • • • • • The Confederate States preeent greater natural obstacles to an invading army than any equal area of country on the globe. Armies cannot march down our AU= UO coat, because of the great num ber of' baykinlets, creeks and rivers, nor down the interior, because of mountain ridges, iinpassable roads, sparse population and scarcity of previa, The Mississippi is narrow, long, tedious and easi ly defended, and its valley is subject to overflow. No invading army will attempt a serious invasion in that direction. It is our true policy to decoy the enemy into the interior, and ilea to out them oil, as were Braddock, and Burgoyne, and Corn wallis, and Ross and Packentinn, and our own troops in the everglades of Florida. When we have defeated and captured their armies, exhaust ed their treasury, and cowed their spirits by de fensive warfare, it will be time for us to begin to act on the offensive, and to invade their ter peory. —r tite artialee argue strongly against any invasion of Maryland at present, and in this connection bbould we be defeated in Maryland, our whole army, wAh their arnmanttlion, would be raptured by the enemy. We might m a short time repair the loss of our men, but the loss of our ammuni tions of war would inflict upon us a stunning and appalling blow.
