THE ELECTION OF V- S. SENATOB.
Oo Tuesday the 13th January, the two hou
ses of the Pennsylvania Legislature met in
Joint Convention for the election of a United
States Senator, in the place of Hon.' David
Wilmot, whose term expires on the 4th day of
March next. The rote stood as follows : Cba's
K. Buckalew 67, Simon Cameron 65, Wm. D.
Welly I. The vote was strictly partisan, ex
cept that of Mr. Laporte of Bradford county,
who voted for Mr. Kelly.
Mr. Buckalew is from Columbia county,
which be represented in the State Senate for
aix years, and was the Chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee during the
Gubernatorial campaign between Mr. Packer
and Mr. Wilmot. Mr. B. is represented as
"entertaining extreme Democratic sentiments,
and a warm believer in the doctrine ot State
Rights" from which we inter, that he is of
the Frank Hughs stripe of Breckinridge poli
ticians. The defeat of Mr. Cameron, or that of any
other man of unimpeachable loyal sentiments,
will, no doubt, be regretted by all true Union
ien throughout the country. But, as Mr.
Buckalew is spoken of "as a clear-beaded, sa
gacious, and well-informed gentleman," we
may hope that he will be able to rise above
mere party considerations in bis new position
that he will new place himself on the side of
bis country against armed treason and that
his course in tbe United States Senate, in
respect to the rebellion, will be such as to
cause no regret to tbe true and loyal friends
of the Union.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
The Philadelphia Press of Wednesday, Jan
uary 11th, makes the following reference as
to the manner in which the election of Mr.
Buckalew, to the U. S. Senate, wa9 secured :
"It would uot be proper for us to permit the
recent election for Senator to pass without ma
king a word of reference to the scenes attend
ant upon the canvass. The Democratic lea
ders have played many desperate and unscru
pulous ventures, but none can exceed the
last. It seems that there was an indication on
the part of many members of tjteir party to be
nuiect iu their choice of a candidate for the
office of Senator. Many of the candidates
were obnoxious to them by reason of their
extreme devotion to the South, and as loyal
men they could not support their election.
This difference of opinion came to the ears of
Democratic State Central Committee, and, as
Mr. Hughes had some hopes of being nomina
ted himself, he took energetic and prompt
means to prevent the threatened defection.
Trains were chartered, tickets were sold at a-
nominal rate, and large bodies of men taken
to Uarrisburg. There they roamed around
the town, slept on cbairs and benches, and
gave their time to dissipation and revelry.
They threatened and swore and terrified peace
able men. Mr. Randall, our Representative
from tbe First district, harangued them at a
midnight assembly in words that can only be
construed as an invitation to violence, while
others, not quite as bold as Mr. Randall, were
far more malignant and bitter, The result
was,tbat tbe House and Senate met surrounded
by a mob, and legislated under tbe knives and
pistols of lawless men. This is the plain story
about the election in Uarrisburg yesterday.
The circumstances surrounding that act of
high and solemn legislation are shameful.
We see men in the interest of a party not only
defying the law, but deliberately contempla
ting the commission of violence and, perhaps,
murder. These are tbe same men who, a few
months ago, were so generous in their party
discipline. Mr. Randall and his friends distin
guished themselves in 18G0 by opposing the
regular nomination of the Democracy, and
were bold and open schismatics. When the
rnin of the Democratic party sorved the cause
ot the Soutb and Slavery, they assisted in its
ruin. Now.when its success is desired by trea
son and slavery .they assist in restoring it, and
make death tbe penalty of a sefusal to obey
the mandates of its caucus."
This is truly a deplorable picture ! The
members of a legislative body, in a free Com
monwealth, controlled by a lawless mob! yea,
forced to bow to the btfck of a band of despe
radoes and assassins! But such, it would
seem, was tbe fact ! And such is the so-cal
led Democratic party ! When the leaders of
the Southern wing of that party could no lon
ger control the honest northern masses by
threats, they Inaugurated Secession would
not allow their own people a fair expression
on the subject, but with pistol and bowie
knife in hand they fofced State after State
out of the Union and tbe result was the pres
ent war, with all its evils and pernicious con
sequences. Are we t6 have the same scenes
re-enaeted in the Northern States by the
Northern wing of that same party ? We fear
the result ! The leaders of the so-called Dem
ocratic party in the North teem to be tread
ing in the footsteps of their Southern broth
ers ! Our legislators are no longer allowed
to think and act and vote according to tbe
dictates of their consciences. Pistols and
bowie-knives are bfougbt into requisition, and
the lives of those legislators threatened, if
they dare disregard tbe mandates of tbe par
ty leaders. Can any one doubt the tendency
ot all this secession, war, and its train of e
vils 1 We trow not, for inch was tbe result in
the Southern States from a similar course, and
the lame causes will end in a like result in
the Northern Sta'es. May the people awake
from the lethargy that now enshrouds them in
time to avert the otter destruction that hangs
oyer them and tbe country.
Major Wheelan defeated a rebel force, which
Attacked bim at tbe Black water, Va.,on the 9th,
NO PEACE WITHOUT SEPARATION.
This is tbe announced platform of the tral
tors in arms against the Constitution of the
United States. Jefferson Davis proclaims it
in his Very last message, and all his organs
make it the subject of emphatic and elaborate
arguments. The Democratic leaders in tne
free States will therefore see that their pro
gramme of peace ard reconstruction must end
either in effecting a division of the Union or
in their own bitter humiliation. As a speci
men of the temper with which the plans of
these leaders are received by the rebel news
papers, let the Richmond Dispatch ot the 10th
of January, commenting upon the New Jersey
speech of Hon. James Brooks, o f New York,
answer to the demagogues and malcontents of
his school:
"Mr. Brooks appears to be in earnest in these
extravagant propositions, strange as it may
appear to any man who has possession of his
senses; for, upon the occasion of presenting
them, be made a long speech, and expressed
himself confident of their success. Are the
Northern people all natural-brn fools, or are
they only stricken with that judicial madness
which we are told the gods always inflict upon
tbe victims of their wrath preparatory to their
ruin ? Can they suppose that the South is as
galless and as lily livered as themselves, and
that they are willing, tor mere considerations
of interest, to forget the unheard of outrages
under which they have suffered during this
war ? Can they believe them capable of so
soon burying in oblivion all that they have
done, and all that they have suffered 1 . .
"If the whole Yankee race should fall down
in the dust to-morrow, and pray us to be their
masters, we would spurn them even as slaves.
Our only wish is to be separated from them
finally and" forever never to see the face of
one of tbem again never to hear the voice of
another Yankee on the south side of the Po
tomac or the north to have no traffic and no
intercourse of any description with them. We
are fighting for separation, and we will have
it, if it cost the life of every man in the con
federate States.
"We are aware that many persons believe 1
that the party of which Brooks and Van Buren
are representatives, desire and design to re
store peace, and that at present they dare not
speak out their real sentiments, which are in
favor of separation. We do not believe they
aie in favor of any such thing.
"They would like peace on condition of our
return to the Union, and they are fools enough
to believe that a majoiify of the people in the
confederacy are in favor of reunion. They
would like peace on these terms, because it
would restore the comm -rcial supremacy of
the North, and especially of the city of New
York, which is gone forever if the Union be
not restored. But they are as bitterly oppos
ed to separation as Lincoln himself, or auy of
the thieves and murderers who lead his ar
mies. In the event ol a refusal to return to
the Union, .they would, to a man, unite in
hounding on the assassins who are desolating
our country and muidering our people, as
fiercely as they have ever been hounded on by
Beecher aud Hale.
"They look only to their pockets when tbey
preach of reconciliation and restoration. If
the tame object could be effected by entirely
destroying the people ot the Southern States,
and they thought it as easy to do, they would
recommend it as the best of all possible poli
cy. Let them be satisfied, however. President
Davis expressed the sentiment of the entire
confederacy, in his speech the other night,
when he said the people would sooner unite
with a nation of hyenas than with the detesta
ble and detested Yankee nation. Anything
but that. English colonisation, French vas
salage, Russian serfdom, all, all are preferable
to any association with the Yankee."
No better argument in favor of unity and
concert of action among the people of the loy
al States could be made, than that suggested
by the diabolical spirit and revengeful hatred
here displayed,and by the stubborn and haugh
ty deportment of the chief of this bloody re
bellion against a Christian and a constitution
al Government. Whether tbe Democratic
leaders will take counsel from this vitupera
tive rejection of their proffers of peace, a
mounts in fact, to little, when all patriotic
men will be constrained to accept this new
manifestation of rebel contumacy as a power
ful inducement to hearty, Instant and ener
getic cooperation in favor of the Administra
tion of the Federal Government. There is,
in truth, but one available path to a perma
nent and lasting settlement, and that is the
crimson path of war.
Remembering that this civil conflict has m
no sense been the work of the loyal people,
but has been long prepared for and deliberate
ly fomented by the slaveholders themselves,
what intelligent citizen will not contemplate
with indignation and scorn the contemptuous
and despotic tone of those who falsely accuse
the free States of atrocities of which they
themselves are alone guilty, and insolently
insist that they will only agree to peace on
conditions degrading to the North and the
Northwest conditions certain to result in the
creation and consolidation of a slave empire
on the one hand, and in tbe division and down
fall of the mighty free Commonwealths on the
other 1
It, then, we would avoid these double and
indescribable calamities, we must act togeth
er as one man, sink all differences forever ont
of sight, close around the Executive with
hearts fired with patriotism, and fight for onr
freedom to tbe bitter end. It is said by some
that one object of tbe Democratic leaders is to
secure unity among tbe people of the loyal
States, by proposing peace to tbe rebels, and
when this is rejected, to throw off tbe cloak
of conciliation, and to make war in bloody
earnest. But who desires to seenre unity of
action by the new and monstrous method of
national degradation f We know from a thou
sand sources that the traitors in arms will not
only refuse such terms when they are presen
ted, but that they give ns notice in advance
that tbey will trample tbem under foot. Why,
then, should we not be wise in time? Na
tional preservation can only be secured by
well-directed blows against the rebellion and
all its adjuncts, whether armies in the Sell,
slaves on tbe plantations, or sympathisers in
the free States.

Inportant letter from the President to
General M Ulellan the movement on
Richmond by way of the Peninsula,
was only shifting a difficulty, etc.
At the McDowell Court of Inquiry, on Fri
day tbe 16th of January, Generals Ricketts
mad Hitchcock were examined. The latter
produced the following letter from President
Lincoln to General McClellan, which was
w ritten in April last. The Star of last evening
cstotains the letter, but as it was full of errors,
we obtained the following corrected and offi
cial copy, which is herewith opened ;
Wasaisqion, April 9, 1862.
Major General McClellan My Dear Sir : Your
dispatches complaining that yeu are not prop
erly sustained, while they do not offended me,
do pain me very much.
Blenker's division was withdrawn from you
before you left here, and you knew tbe presure
under which I did it; and I thought, acquies
ced in it certainly not without, reluctance.
After you left I ascertained that less than
20,000 unorganized men, without a single
field battery, were all you designed to be left
for the defense af Washington and Manassas
Junction ; and part of this even was to go to
General Hooker's old position.
Gen. Bank's corps, once designed for Manas-
as Junction ; was diverted and tied up on
the line of Winchester and Strasburg, and
could not leave it without again exposing tbe
Upper Potomac and tbe Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. This presented (or would present,
when McDowell and Sumner should be gone)
a great temptation to the enemy to turn back
from the Rappahannock and sack Washington.
My explicit order that Washington should,
by the judgment of all the commanders of
corps, be left entirely secure, had been neg-
locted. It was precisely this that drove me
to detain McDowell. I do not forget that I
was satisfied with your arrangement to leave
Banks at Manassas Junction but when that
arrangement was broken up, and nothing was
substituted for it, of course I was not satisfi id;
I was constrained to substitute something for
it myself.
And now, allow me to ask, "do you really
think I should permit the line from Richmond,
via Manassas Junction, to this city, to be en
tirely open, except what resistance could be
presented by less than 20,000 unorganized
troops 1" This is a question which the coun
try will not allow me to evade.
There is a curious mystery about the num
ber of troops now with you. When I tele
graphed you on the Gth, saying that you had
over 100,000 with you, I had just obtained
lrom tbe Secretary of War a statement taken,
as he said, from your own returns, making
108,000 then with you and en rout to you.
You n jw say you will have but 85,000, when
all en rout to you shall have reached you.
How can the discrepancy of 23,000 be accoun
ted for 1
As to General Wools command, I unde r
stand it is doing for you precisely what a like
number of your own would have to do, if that
command was aw.iv. I suppose the whole
force which has gone forward for you is with
you by this time ; and, if so, 1 think it is (he
precise time lor you to strike a blow. By de
lay the enemy will relatively gain upon you :
that is he will gain faster by fortifications and
reinforcements, than you can by reinforce
ments alone.
And, once more, let me tell you, it is indis
pensable to you that you strike a blow! I am
powerless to help this. You will do me the
justice to remember, I always insisted that
going down the, bay in search of a field, instead
of fighting at or near Manassas, was only
shifting and not surmonnting a difficulty ; that
we would find tbe some enemy, and the same
or equal intrenchments, at either place. The
country will not fail to note is now noting
that the present hesitation to move upon an
intrenched enemy is but the story of Manassas
repeated.
I beg to assure you that I have never written
you, or spoken to you in greater kindness of
feeling than now, nor with a fuller purpose to
sustain you, so far as in my most anxious judg
ment I consistently can. But you must act.
Yours, very truly, A. Liscoln.
CONDITION OF THE "CONFEDERACY."
Nine gentleman, resident of Whitfield coun
ty, Northern Georgia, arrived in Louisville
a few days since, having made their escape
by crossing the Tennessee near the mouth of
the Hiawassee. They give a fearful account
of the reign of terror in the South. They
state that pork is selling in Northern Georgia
at 30 cents per pound, salt at $1,75 per pound,
corn at $2 to $3 per bushel, wheat at $6 per
bushel, sugar 75 cents per pound, shoes $10
per pair, and boots at $75, eggs at $1 per
dozen, chickens $1 each, and other articles
in proportion. Tbe scarcity of salt is so great
that many persons make use of the dirt in
their smoke-houses, which has been saturated
with salt, extracting the saline matter from it
wherewith to cure their meats There is also
great suffering in the rebel army, and the Au
gusta Chronicle asserted recently that a body
of two thousand six hundred troops marched
into Richmond without shoes. Commissions
have been appointed in some districts to take
an account of the amount of corn and other
produce in the possession of the residents,
who are not permitted In any caseto hold
more than is necessary for their subsistence
nntil tbe next crop shall have matured, and if
a family should de found to be tinctured with
loyalty to the Federal Government, all their
means of snbsistance are seized and confisca
ted. These refuges in their flight from rebel
oppression traveled in the by-ways, night and
day, sometimes paying guides as much as thir
ty dollars for their services for a single night.
The Post Office at Scranton, Pa,, was bro
ken into on the night ot the 14tb, and cleared
of its contents, including a number of mails.
The President bas signed the bill for tbe is
sue of one hundred million legal tender notes.
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
Ia th Sshate, on Jan. 14th, ez-Gov.
Hicks, new Senator from Maryland, took his
place. Tbe bill to aid Missouri in emancipa
ting slaves was reported to tbe House with an
amendment. Tbe bill to consolidate regi
ments now in the field was reported back. Al
so tbe bill for reorganizing tbe Subsistence
Department. Information was asked about
tbe conveyance of disloyal passengers on na
tional vessels. An attempt to kill tbe bill re
organizing tho Court of Claims was unsuc
cessful. In the Holse, a joint resolution was
reported providing for the immediate pay
ment of tbe army and navy. It authorizes the
issue of $50,000,000 in legal-tender notes not
bearing interest. It was amended so as to
make the issue one hundred millions. A bill
for a military and postal road from New-York
to Washington was reported. The House
then took up Mr. Wright's resolutions on the
Rebellion, and Mr. Yallandigham made a long
speech in favor of stopping the war and sub
mitting tbe whole matter to mediation. He
was sharply replied to by Mr. Bingham and
Mr. Wright.
In the Sesate, Jan. 15th, a bill was intro
duced extending the powers of Military Courts,
so that they may compel witnesses to attend,
take depositions out of the State, and punish
murder and other crimes. The joint resolu
tion concerning the pay of the Army and Na
vy was adopted 38 to2-theNays being Messrs
Powell and Saulsbury. A bill relative to
suits by political prisoners was offered. Some
amendments were made to the Civil Deficien
cy bill, and it was laid over. On the Military
Academy Appropriation bill there wis a sharp
debate, Messrs. Wade and Lane denouncing
West Point as a nursery of treason. Other
Senators defended the institution, and the
bill passed by 29 to 10. In the Hocse, the
session wis spent in Committee on the Ways
and Means bill. The speeches were mainly
on tbe policy of taking Bank circulation. No
vote was taken.'
BUTLER AND THE DEMOCRATS.
When the resolution of thanks to Gen.
Butler for "his able, humane and efficient ad
ministration of the Department of the Gulf"
was passed by the House of Representatives,
the peace Democrats voted against it. We
find among the nays tho names of Messrs.
Biddle, Johnson, Lazear, and Stiles, of Penn
sylvania, and we presume that the kind of
Democracy that they represent condemns
General Butler as much as the Democracy
down South do. Their views are probably ex
pressed by the proclamation of Jefferson Da
vis, who desires to have General Butler hung
instanter.
Now what has General Butler, who is a life
long Democrat, done to forfeit the confidence
and esteem of the politicians of his party?
He has simply served the Union cause with
zeal, energy and ability. There is the great
cause of offence with the peace Democrats
of the present day and they cannot forgive
General Butler for bis hostility to their friend
Jefferson Davis and his confederacy. Even
tbe fact that Butler has always voted the Dem
ocratic ticket, and that be represented the
Democracy of Massachusetts in the Charleston
Convention, does not save him from tho. con.
dumnationof his old politicalassociates, when
he opposes those who are making war upon
the Union. The peace-Democrats who prefer
a General who would offer easy terms to the
rebels hefore fighting them, and a President
who would receive proposals for a peace on a
basis of Disunion. Butler is not the Genera
for tbem, and Lincoln is not the President for
them. Butler laid aside his politics when be
went into tho war, and fights and governs so
as to make them submit to the Federal author
ity, nence it is that he is refused tbe favor
of Messrs. Biddle, Vallandiogham, Wood and
their friends in Congress. Hence it is that be
would be denied admission into the new Dem
ocratic Club, where the disciples of the new
Democracy preach hostility to the Govern
ment and talk about withholding supplies.
Bulletin.
FROM JAPAN AND CHINA.
The Navy Department has received despatch
es from Commander McDougal of the United
States steamer Wyoming, dated Yokuhama,
Japan, November 10. Lie reached that place
on the 5th from a cruise on the Chinese Coast.
He represents that tbe Cholera prevails more
or less in all the Chinese ports be visited, so
much so as to make it unsafe to permit the
crew to go on shore. He made the passage
to Japan through the Inland Sea. The numer
ous islands were in the highest state of cultiva
tion. At the outlet of Inland Sea into the
Bay of Osaki, and also at tbe outlet of the Bav
ofOsaki, fortifications were being constructed
for their defense, all of which bad been don e
within tbe last three months. Commander
McDougal states that at tbe request of our
Consul at Nagasaki, he tendered a passage to
Dr. Dury.the French Vice Conul at Yokuha
ma, for which he received a polite letter of
thanks from the French Minister. He further
states : On the 8th inst., for the first time,
and in accordance with tbe usage of civilized
nations, our Minister was saluted with seven
teen guns from a Japanese ship of war with
the Ameican flag at the fore, which was return
ed from his ship with a like number and the
Japanese flag at the fore, be being the first
minister lrom a foreign nation receiving that
honor from the Japanese. Commader McDou
gal represents the officers and crew of the
Wyoming in good health.
A Sao Case. Calvin Basin,of Clarion coun
ty was wounded in the battle of Antietam, a
bore the ankle joint. He had his leg ampu
tated below the knee, and was getting along
well and was on bis way home. When in lha
act of stepping from the ears at Kittanning,
his crutch broke and befell, striking the
stump of his leg on the platform, bruising and
lacerating the integuments, so that mortifica
tion immediately eoameneed and extended
above the knee. On the 20th of December
the physicians amputated bis leg above the
diseased pait. He still lives, but is in a very
precarious condition.
GENERAL BUTLER'S SUCCESSOR.
From the Richmond Whig.
The marauder Banks, who bas been sent to
New Orleans to succeed Beast Butler, has is
sued a proclamation to the people of Louisia
na, invoking peace aud fraternal feeling, that
"we may become a nation a great nation
with sense enough to govern ourselves, and
strength enough to stand against the world
united."
One of the most carious features of tbe
Yankee character is the total absence of the
sentiment of honor. Destitute of it them
selves, they are incapable of conceiving the
existence of such a thing in others. Now,
this leader of free hooters and robbers, thieves
and assassins, who have expended every out
rage upon the unarmed men, women and chil
dren of tbe south, appealing to their victims
to forget their resentments and embrace tbe
monsters who have perpetrated the enormi
ties against them. It will be to their interest,
be tells them, to unite as a band of brothers
with the Yankee scoundrels; and, knowing
the resistless influences which interest exerts
over depraved Yankee nature, be cannot im
agine how such an appeal can for a moment
be resisted.
We have committed many errors in our treat
ment of the Yankees. Not the least has been
in regarding tbem as something better than
they really are. They are by nature menials,
and fitted only for menial duties. They are in
open and flagrant insurrection against their nat
ural lords and masters, the gentlemen of the
South. In -the exercise of their assumed priv
ileges, they deport themselves with all the ex
travagant airs, the insolence, the cruelty, the
cowardice and love of rapine, which have ever
characterized tbe revolt of slaves. The for
mer leniency of their masters only serves to
aggravate the ferocity of their natures. "
When they are again reduced to subjection
and taught to know their place, we must take
care to put such trammels about them that
they will never have an opportunity to play
these tricks again. Beecher has recently laid
down tbe law to them, and told tbem in very
plain language, that tbey have committed the
unpardouable sin, and that there is no alterna
tive but success or eternal servitude. They
must subdue tbe South or be subdued. As
tbe first is beginning to bo acknowledged an
impossibility even by Yankeedoodledom it
self, tbe other becomes a reality of fearful imminence."
IMPORTANT VICTORY IN ARKANSAS.
Cairo, Jan. 17. Tbe steamer RainStoim,
which left Arkansas Post on Monday, arrived
here to-day, and confirms the capture of that
post. The attack was made on Friday evening
by the gunboats, the land force debarking two
miles below, and marching to the rear of tbe
fortifications. The rebeU had erected earth
works over an extent of two miles below the
main fort, from which they were shelled; not,
however, before they done some damage to
the gunboats. Three balls entered tbe port
hole of tbe Lexington, killing four men. The
main post, which is represented as being very
strong, surrendered on Sunday. The officers
of the Storm say that six regiments were cap
tured in the works, and that at daylight on
Monday two Texan regiments, not knowing
tbe place bad surrendered, came in to reinforce
the garrison and were also captured. Nearly
all the ammunition taken by the rebels from
the steamer Blue Wing, some days since, was
recaptured. A reconnoissance sent op the
river had not returned at tbe time the Storm
left. Our loss is not so heavy as at first rep
resented. The garrison surrendered, uncodi
tionally. Tbe rebel loss is 550 killed and
wounded, and abont 7,000 prisoners. Our
loss is reported at 200, mostly on board the
gunboats. The rebel fort mounted nine guns
and contained a large amount of munitions of
war. The rebels were cut ofl from retreat on
both sides of the river.
TORIES A PREDICTION
In the first issue of the New Year, we put
upon record for future reference tbe predic
tion, that in coming years, when peace is re
stored throughout tbe land as by God's bles.
sing, and in spite of locofocos it will be
these men in tbe North, who in this terrible
crisis of tbe nation's history, have uttered no
word of encouragement to the Government'
who have raised no voice in condemnation of
the rebellion, but have denounced the powers
that be, and openly or covertly declared their
sympathy with tbe South, will aver with cur
sing and swearing, that they sustained and sup
ported the Government all tbe way through.
Mark the prediction and remember it !
Tell an American boy of tbe present day
that his grandfather was a tory in the Revolu
tionary times, and he will resent the impeach
ment with indignation. In onr heraldry tbe
brand of toryism, like the bar bastardy, is an
ensign of dishonor and will be so hereafter.
The lory fathers of to-day will transmit the
disgrace to their posterity, and ther children's
children will be taunted with it to the third
and fourth generation. The words of disloy
alty uttered by them to-day will be bitterly de
nied; but tbey have been engraved on tbe
memory of living witnesses, and cannot be
forgotten. The sentinents of their party ut
tered through the press, have been enbalmed
in printer's ink, and will eorae forth as wit
nesses against them before the great tribunal
of history. Washington, Pa, Reporter.
