SENATOR BIGLEE'S SPEECH.
We have been farored by our distinguished
fellow-townsman, Ex-Gov. Big!er, with a copy
of his speech on "The Stato of the Union,"
delivered in the United States Senate on the
21st Jan., for which he has our thanks. His
public acts, of which this is one, we shall ex
ercise the privilege of criticising just as wc
would those of any other public man ; but in
doing this, we shall endeavor to treat him with
a due degree of respect. As a citizen, and
in a social point of viow, we have always es
teemed the Governor highly ; we arc free to
S. B. ROW, IPITOR ASD PROPRIETOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA.. FEB. 6, 1801.
CALLING HABD NAMES.
When Dr. Johnson called the fish-wife "an
adjective," she was startled ; when he pro
nounced her to be "a,preposition," she was
dumbfounded ; but when he sternly added
that, in his opinion, she was no better than "a
conjunction," the pride of the market submit
ted to the great lexicographer, and wept fierce
tears at her first discomfiture. Sundry.Breck
inridge editors take it for granted that the Re
publican party is to be silenced in the same
way that the fire of feeling can be quenched
by a shower of subacidulous epithets, and the
rock of conviction pulverized by reproachful
fcelchings that the way to "conciliate" their
political opponents, and persuade them into a
"compromise," is to misrepresent their views,
and heap upon them vituperative abuse.
" Th editor of that highly delectable sheet,
the Clearfitld Republican organ of the Breck
inridge Democracy, and special apologist of
the Disunionists displays an unusual facility
in the use of nial-nomenclature and cxtraordi
nary dexterity at perversion. In his last issue
or two, he labors with unwonted zeal to con
vince everybody in general, and wavering sub
jects of his own party in particular, that the
Republican organization is a conglomeration
nf" it A Ktlttlnr ista " ftlilrtnilv rnrrtlnf mnietc "
"British-hearted abolition hirelings," "jack
alls," "hyenas," "hireling traitors," "fana
tics," "hireling demagogues," and '.'coercion
ists," with here and there a few "lazaroni,"
p!ug-uglies," "rip-raps," and "wooden nut
meg, philanthropic gentlemen" thrown in by
tray of making up a satisfactory variety. An
examination of a few previous numbers would
doubtless increase this singular admixture
greatly, whilst a lull enumeration of the deri
sive terms that can be found in an entire vol
ume of that paper, would cause a severe strain
upon the powers of the multiplication table.
The same high and veracious (?) authority
is also excessively anxious to make it appear
that this "sectional party" is not only a dis
reputable, but a very dangerous organization.
If a moderate share of reliance can be placed
in the accusations against the Republicans set
forth by our np-town neighbor, it would seem
that they "succeeded by a species of false pre
tehees usually assumed by all demagogues
and fanatics" that they " have been plot
" ting treason against the country for the last
thirty years" that their Representatives are
determined to " roil on and sptead the ecu
blems of revolution, anarchy and despot
ism" that they havo adopted the cry of
coercion aad the enforcement of the laws,"
only as "a pretext to bring about a bloody
revolution as speedily as possible" that
they have " conceived the unhallowed purpose
of 'drawing the geographical line,' and thus
by 'might to rula right,' or sink the noble
old ship with all aboard." If all this were
true, our party would be a rather unsafe "in
atitution," we admit ; but, fortunately for the
country, this is not the case. To a man, its
members stand up for the Constitution and
the Union, and neither defamation nor misrep
resentation can turn them from the path of
duty in the hour of their peril, nor induce them
to countenance treason, even though it docs
ajppear in the enticing guise of "secession."
. Having evidently persuaded himself to re
gard the phantoms of his fruitful imagination
as solid realities, it is not at all surprising that
the editor of the Republican should look around
for some means to avert tho frightful calami
ties of which he is so apprehensive. Being
strongly opposed to "coercion," to the em
ploy ment of austere raeasures,or to assnm ing an
attitude that might appear threatening, we felt
satisfied that he could ard would suggest some
rcild and peaceful remedy. Nor. have we been
' mistaken in our anticipations. In his last is
sue be says tho time has come when " these
"hireling demagogues must be suffocated, ei-
tber by a halter or tho Immaculate voice of
the people." We have little doubt as to the
efficacy of such a course of treatment ; but as
the offenders can, by it, liavo a choice, it is
quite possible that they may prefer the humane
application of "a halter," to encountering the
alternative of an "immaculate voice." -
From what we have said our readers may,
perhaps, form -a faint idea of the respectful
terms in which the Breckinridge organ speaks
of the Republican party, and the rare spirit of
''conciliation" which it manifests. We leave
them to judge to what extent such a course and
such language are calculated to bring about a
speedy adjustment; when, aside from all this,
the -Republicans, at every step they take in
that direction, are told by tho apologists of
secession that they "had to back down." '
Tkibcmz Axmakac. We have received from
the publishers a copy of the Tribune Almanac
for 1861.'. It contain the party platforms of
1860; a classification of both Houses of Con
gress; election le turns of all the States in the
Union ; the popular vote for President in 1852
and 1856; with much other statistical and re
liable information, i.o which tbo public are In

admit that for him personally we entertain the
best of feelings, and wo had hoped that, in tie
hour of our country's peril, he would lay asido
entirely the finesse- of the inflexible partizan,
and adopt the moro commendable and endu
ring policy of the patriotic statesman. In this
we have been disappointed. Ill's speech dis
plays none of that disinterested magnanimity
which he could now, hen near the close of
his public career, afford so well to use ; but it
is characterized by that strict adherence to
party views and party tactics, which marked
his course and his speeches during the late
Presidential campaign indeed, some of the
expressions and arguments it contains will
doubtless sound familiar to those who heard
him on the stump last fall. For example af
ter disclaiming any intention of "fastening the
" responsibility" of the inauspicious events
" of the last fifteen years," "upon this or upon
" that party," he at Once undertakes to show
that the "responsibility" of ourresent trou
bles rests with the Republicans ; and for this
purpose, repeats the old storj of John Brown's
mad raid into Virginia, the stale charge con
cerning the "Helper Book" endorsement, the
origin of the "irrepressible conflict" dogma,
and the fact that sixty-nine Republican Mem
bers of Congress had voted for the "Blake
Resolution." Having glanced at the piorai
nent features of " unnecessary hostility" to
the institution of African Slavery which Mr.
Bigler regards as " the fundamental cause of
" the imperiled condition of the country,"
and thus re-stimulated the leaven of prejudice
and misapprehension that exists in the South
relative to Republican-doctrines, ho coolly de
clares that "the Southern people, to a great
' extent, believe that those dogmas are to be
"carried out by the incoming Administra
" tion" just as if he, in common with other
leaders of the Breckinridge party, had not
done all he could to creato and strengthen
this impression. And how does it come, while
such noble Southern spirits as Johnson, Clem
ens, Etheridge and Gilmer are laboring to dis
abuse the public mind in their own section,
that he is so careful to repeat, in the speech
before ns, the allegations which are the prima
ry cause of the "southern people" coming to
such conclusions 1 Why is it that Mr. Bigler
indulges in such language as the following:
"But, Mr. 1'resident, the organization ot a
geographical party ; that organization against
which Ueorge Washington warned his coun
trymen.was the fatal day for this Republic.
I have been in the habit of saying, sir, every
where on the stump, that such an organi
zation was inconsistent with the peace of
the nation ; that a political association so
hostile to the institutions of another sec
tion of the country that it could have no re
cognition and no members in the assaulted
section, must necessarily be an agent of alien
ation and hostility among the people. George
Washington and Andrew Jackson both fore-4
saw this, and men on the other side should
have heeded their warnings. It will not do to
say that it was never intended to be a section
al party ; that it is based on great truths that
can be and ought to be universal. Sir, dis
guise it as we may, the Republican organiza
tion has had, and has now, but one vital spark
of existence, and that is prejudice and hostil
ity to admitted rights to the institution of
slavery an institution recognized by the fa
thcrs. I know, sir, it is said, in mitigation
that Republicans never intend to exercise any
unconstitutional right; thattheirpurpose isno
to interfere with slavery in the States. But
Mr. President, tell me when or where a Re
publican meeting has been held, since the
dawn of that party, where the impression
was not left, either by its proceedings or
in tho language "of its orators, that in some
way or other the Republican organization
was the agency through which, slavery was
to bo abolished everywhere ?
Is this the spirit of "conciliation," and i
this the way to bring about an "adjustment ?
We appeal to tho common sense of all impar
tial men whether this is displaying the proper
temper whether tubbing open old political
sores, and making such unwarrantable asser
tions as the concluding one in the above ex
tract, is in the least calculated to induce an
opponent to entertain any suggestion he may
have to make. As a peace-maker a position
to which Mr. Bigler seems to aspire he should
have employed truth instead of misrepresenta
tion ; and should have poured oil npon the
troubled waters, instead of casting into them
tho agencies of commotion.
Impressed, as it is fair to presume he must
be, with the deplorable condition of-the coun
try, yet Mr. Bigler seems to think that it is
not an herculean task after all to " avert the
" impending calamities." It is not necessa
ry, in his opinion, to expend " countless trea-
sure" or to "shed rivers of blood." "It
only requires that opinion, party and preju
" dice should be mutually abandoned to attain
" the priceless end 7" This is good advice,
and very easy to follow ; bnt how does he do
it lie asks the Republicans to make unlim-
that we shall, for the present, notice. After
urging that Mr. Crittenden's proposition or his
own should be referred to the people, Mr. Big-
er acknowledges that serious objections are
made to such a step that it is regarded as
"extraordinary," "irregular," and "without
"warrant in the Constitution," and bv at
tempting to answer these objections ou the
ground that "the times are irregular," and that
" the nature of the case requires extraordinary
measures," he admits their force and correct
ness. And yet, a few pages further on, he
says: "My logic, Mr. President, is, that if
" we are for the Constitution at all, we must
" sustain every feature of it." W"e confess
we are at a loss how to reconcile Mr. Bigler's
" proposition," which sets aside at least one
" feature" of the Constitution, with Mr. Big
ler's " logic," which demands that " every fea
ture" of that instrument mast be sustained!
Perhaps his home organ can "illuminate" our
obtuse understanding. Meanwhile, as the
speech has been extensively circulated in this
county, wo trust as many as possible will read
it, and judge for themself ot its peculiar mer
its. Having done so, if they can convince us
that its distinguished author has by it estab
lished a claim to the title of pacificator, it
must be on the supposition that counter-irritants
are more effective than soothing panaceas
for tho ills to which he alludes.
SECOND SPEECH BY MR. SEWARD.
Mr. Seward on January 31st presented a pe
tition to the Senate of the United States, sign
ed by 38,000 Inhabitants of New York City,
(in addition to the 25,000 heretofore presented
by him, making altogether 63,000 signers,)
praying that Congress would exercise its wis
dom in finding some mode of adjustment of
our present national difficulties. Tho special
committee of the projectors of this petition
accompanied it with some resolutions in which
they recommend as a basis of adjustment the
proposition known as the Border States plan,
contemplating certain acts of legislation and
amendments to the Constitution of a Pro-slavery
character. Mr. Seward, after presenting
the petition, addressed the Senate at consid
erable length. He remarked that the Com
mittee in charge of the memorial are a fair
reprcsentetion, almost an embodiment, of the
citizens who direct and wield the commerce of
New York, "the commerce of a continent,
and a commerce which this present year, ow
ing to the distractions of the times, is put for
the first time in a condition of proving itself
to be the controlling commerce of the world."
He remarked also that the memorial present
ed by this Committee might be regarded as a
fair expression of the interest which is felt by
our commercial community in the great ques
tion of the Union that in other countries,
such a demonstration would commend obedi
ence from the Government, but significantly
added, that in this Republic, such was happi
ly not the case. Here tho commercial inter
est was but one of many the agricultural, the
manufacturing, the mining, being equally po
tential, and entitled to consideration. It is
perhaps even more significant, that Mr. Sew
ard, while commending the merchants of New
York for their spirit of conciliation and frater
nal kindness, should recommend them as he
does in this speech, to manifest their devotion
to the Union, not only by speaking for it, by
voting for it, by giving money for it, but also
by fight'ng for it, if all other means failed and
fighting should become advisable. Neverthe
less, Mr. Seward, in spite of this significant
hint, holds to his expectation of a bloodless
termination ot the crisis, and to the ultimate
safety of "this great fabric of constitutional
liberty and empire." A Convention of the peo
pie, called according to the forms of the Con
atitution, and acting in the manner prescribed
by it, he thinks will give the country relief by
the prompt adoption of measures which will
show to the world how well and wisely a great,
enlightened, educated, and Christian peopje
can adjust difficulties apparently insurmounta
ble. Notwithstanding these .pacific expres
sions, and the general moderation and concil
iatory tone ot Mr. Seward's speech, his re
marks about fighting for the Union aroused
the wrath of Mr. Mason of v irginia, who, in
his usual arrogant manner, declared that Mr
Seward's speech meant neither more nor less
than battle, and that his "honored State'? was
ready for the fight, and was not to be deluded
by silly propositions to amend the Constitu
tion. Mr. Seward replied with force and spirit,-
exposing Mr. Mason's misrepresentations,
vindicating his own position, and defending
the rights and power of the Union. The de
bute was continued with unusual animation
and great length, Mr. Hale of New Hampshire,
Mr. Douglas, and the irrepressible Wigfall of
Texas, taking part in it.

ited "concessions;" but what "opinion" or
" prejudice," and how much of " party," does
he propose to "abandon ?" We have yet to
learn of his offering to throw aside an iota of
either; on the contrary, he adheres most per
sistently to what bis organ in this place is
pleased to call "The Crittenden-Bigler Propo
tions," which embrace the territorial policy of
the Breckinridge platform, and look forward
to the acquisition of Mexico. Satisfied, as he
ought to be by tbis time, that these cannot be
adopted, why doea he not set the example of
abandoning'? hi$ " opinion, party and preju
dice," and advocate, with corresponding zeal,
some other plan of adjustment say the Border
States or the Adams t Proposition 7 To make
iiii4 practice conform. to bis. preaching,, he
should dp so without further delays :
-Tber is only one other point in the ppecch
Letter from Ma. Botts. Hon. John Minor
Botts has written a most cogent and patriotic
Union letter to his friends in V irginia, in
which, after showing the madness of secession,
ho remarks : "My earnest and urgent advice
then, is, that Virginia should remain in the
Union, demanding all her Constitutiona
rights, the repeal of all unconstitutional laws
or the declaration oi tneir nullity oy the
Supreme Court and a just punishment for
those who shall resist its decisions. Let her
remain in, and, taking side with neither, act
the part of mediator and peacemaker between
the extremes ol both sections oi the country
Recollect that those who now beckonjyou on
to destruction, are the same advisers and lea
ders that lured you on in 1S54, to insist upon
the repeal of the Missouri compromise, which
has brought you to your present condition.
That was a grievous error of which you had
timely warning, but to which you would not
listen ; and those who warned you then were
denounced as submissionists and traitors to
the South, as they are now. Be not deceived
by the same men again, who would now lead
you into one ten thousand times more fatal :
and do not hereafter forget that I . tell you
now. when you give up your Union, you sur
render your liberties, and tho liberties ot all
who are to come alter you."
The Great Robbery. It Is ascertaised that
Mr. Floyd's whole acceptances were $0,900,-
000. Of these Mr. Russell and partners re
turned about $3,000,000, first and last, and can
account for half a million more. . It therefore
appears that at least $3,000,000 are still float
ing about, held by innocent parties, or were
discounted by banks and individuals. Large
amounts have been recently sent. to Washing
ton fromNew-England. which were taken on the
strength of Mr. Floyd's assurances, vouched
in some, instances by Mr Toucey. Mr. Bai
ley, who abstracted the bonds from the In
terior Department, has never been examined
before the Committee oi Investigation, and for
legal reasons, which may appear berealter.
The act of 1857, which is supposed to relieve
witnesses of Congressional Committees from
prosecution, will doubtless be pleaded for the
benefit of some of the parties to tbis mammoth
robbery. Lawyers already maintain that the
indictment against Messrs. Russell, Floyd and
Bailey .for a conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment, is for a crime not known in the crimina
statutes. They will all probably escape pnn
ishment. : -: i:';
THE BORDER STATES ADJUSTMENT.
A great many people do not seem to under
stand the diflerence between the border States
Adjustment, and the Crittenden Compromise.
The-essential difference is respecting' the Ter
ritory South of 36 degress 30 minutes, be
tween the Indian territory and California.
The border States proposition is :
"That the line of 86 30 shall be run through
all the existing territory of the United States;
that in all North of that line slavery shall be
prohibited : that South of that line neither
Congress nor the Territorial Legislature shall
hereafter pass any law abolishing, prohibiting
or in anj way interfering with African slavery,
and that when any territory, containing a suf
ficient population for one member of Congress
in an area of sixty thousand square miles,
shall apply for admission as a State, it shall
be admitted with or without .slavery, as its
constitution may determine."
Tbis is a negative proposition. It permits
the operation of the existing territorial laws of
New Mexico and California, pledges the non
intervention of congress with the subject of
slavery, and the admission ot States made out
of it without Congressional induiry a9 to the
subject of slavery. It is not satisfactory to
the ultra politicians of the South, because it
does sot commit the Federal Governmeut to
their dogma of the protection of slavery in
the territories. It would be acceptable to the
moderate mon of the North and South for the
same reason.
Mr. Crittenden's scheme is as follows :
"That in all the territory of the United
States now held or hereafter acquired, situated
north of latitude 36 30, slavery or involuntary
servitude, except as a punishment for crime,
is prohibited while such territory shall remain
under territorial government. In all the ter
ritory scuth of said line slavery of the African
race is hereby recogvized as existent, and s'aull
not be interfered with by Congress, but shall
be protected as property by the departments of
the territorial government, during its coutmu-
ance."
John U. Breckinridge says in a letter en
dorsing this proposition, that hereafter acquir
ed" looks to the conquest of Mexico, and con
sequently to the establishment of slavery in
it. Therefore those who support the Critten
den Compromise, not only support the estab
lishment ol a Federal Protectorate over slav
ery, in tho only territory now held where
slavery has the ghost of a chance, but, support
the policy of conquering Mexico, for the very
purpose of establishing slavery therein by the
power of the Federal Government; and this,
not that the relation of slavery itself, with any
show of legitimacy, requires extention, but
that tho politicians of the slavery section may
increase their power, and use the General
Government to prevent the preponderance in
the Government, to which the Free States
are entitled by their real weight and growth.
NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
ANOTHER PROPOSITION.
Id the House of Representatives at Wash
ington, on the 1st inst., Hon. William Kel
logg, of Illinois, ottered the following res
olutions as a substitute for the recommenda
tion of the Committee of Thirty-three. When
they were read they produced quite a sensa
tion. They are joint resolutions, proposing
amendments to the Constitution, to be ratified
in the manner directed by that instrument. j
Article 13. That in all the territory now
held by the United States situated north of
latitude thirty-six degress and thirty minutes,
involuntary servitude, with the exception of
the punishment for crime, is prohibited while
such territory shall remain under a territorial
government ; that in all the tertitory now held
south of the said line, neither Congress nor
auy territorial Legislature shall hinder or pre
vent the imigration to said territory of persons
held to service from any State of this Union,
when that relation exists by virtue ot any law
or usage of such State, while it shall remain
in a territorial condition ; and when any terri
tory north or south of the said line, within
such boundaries as Congress may prescribe,
shall contain the population requisite for a
member of Congress, according to the then
Federal ratio of representation of the people
of the United States, it may, if its form ol
government be Republican, be admitted into
the Union on an equal footing with the orig
inal States, with or without the relation oi
persons held to service and labor, as the Con
stitution of such new State may provide.
Article 14. That nothing in the Constitution
of the United States, or any amendment there
to, shall be construed so as to authorize any
department of the government in any manner
to interfere with the relations of persons held
to service, in nuy State where that relation
exists, nor in any manner to establish or sus
tain that relation in any State where it is pro
hibited by the laws or constitution ot such
State, and that this article shall not.be altered
or amended without the consent of every State
in the Union. -
Article 15. The third paragraph of the sec
ond section of the fourth article of the Con
stitution shall be aken and construed to au
thorize and empower Congress to pass laws
necessary to secure the return of persons held
to service or labor under the laws of any State,
who may have escaped therefrom, to the party
to whom such service or labor may be due.
Article. The migration or importation
of persons held to service or involuntary ser
vitude, into any State, territory, or place with
in the United States, from any place or coun
try beyond the limits of the United States or
the territories thereof, is forever prohibited.
The Southern and Washixotojt Confer
ences. The 4th of February will be memor
able in the political history of this country for
the meeting of two conferences. The first is
the one ivitiated by the State of Virginia, in
viting the border and other States to meet
them in confeience, at Washington City, to de
vise, if possible, some measures for averting
the storm which now threatens the fair fabric
of the Union. The second is the Southern
Confederacy Congress proposed by Alabama,
who extended invitations to South Carolina,
Mississippi, Florida and Georgia to meet her
through their delegates-at Montgomery, Ala
bama, on the 4th February. All of the in
vited States have responded, and representees
have been selected to join in the deliberations
of that Assembly. It is thought that a pro
visional federative government will be formed
and put into operation by the end of February.
The provisional government will probably be
similar to that under which we now live. The
Congress itself, is nothing more than a provis
ional government.' They will prepare the
form to which all the States they represent
shall be pledged. Themselves the represen
tatives of the people delegates chosen by
sovereign conventions their power in provis
ional matters will be unlimited. It is suppos
ed theywill mould the incipient nationality
to suit the exigencies of the times, elect a pro
visional .chief magistrate and order elections
for various offiecs.
