JOHN WILLIAMS,
Chairman People Co. Committee. .
Ebcnsburg, December 1, 1353.
TJie Xext Congress.
As the XXXVIth Congress will begin
its session ou MouJay next, (December o,
1S59,) we publish to-day a list uf the mem
bers of that august body.
In the Senate, which consists of sixty
six members, several will be new to Con
gress, and generally unknown outside of
their several States. They are Messrs.
Anthony of Rhode Island, Grimes of Iowa,
Saulsbury of Delaware, Powell of Ken
tucky, Ten Eyck of New Jersey, and
Hemphill of Texas. It will be noticed
that, in the delegations from Minnesota,
Oregon and Texas, there arc vacancies ;
and it may be well to remark, that the
appointment of Hon. II. P. Hann, as the
successor of Brodcrick, from California, is
merely temporary until the meeting of the
Legislature. Some of these vacancies may
also be filled by new men.
Of the sixty-two Senators, fifteen have
been Governors of their respective States,
viz :
Benj. Fitzpatrick, Ala.; James W. Grimes,
Iowa; Lafayette S. Foster, Conn.; Hannibal
Hamlin. Me.; John J. Crittenden, Ky. ; Kins
ley S. Bingham, Mich. ; Lazarus Powell,
Ky. ; Albert G. Brown, Miss.; William II.
Seward, N. Y. ; Thomas Bragg, N. C. ; Wm.
Bigler, Pa.; Joseph Lane, Oregon ; James II.
Hammond, S. C; Henry B. Anthony, It. I. ;
Andrew Johnson, Teuu.
The LocoFoeos will have a clear ma
jority of 12 in the Senate, which the fil
ling of the vacancies now existing may
increase to 14. The vacancies being filled,
the Republicans will have 25 Senators,
which is largely in excess of their number
in any former Senate.
The House will consist of 237 Members,
besides delegates from Territories. Of
these 115 were Members of the last House.
"When Kansas is admitted, another new
Member will be added. Of those classed
as new Members, several were Members of
farmer Congresses, though not of the last.
Thaddeus Stevens, of Penu'a., Thomas
Corwin, of Ohio, Emerson Etheredge, of
Tenn., "William Millward, of .Penn'a.,Geo.
Driggs, of N. Y., Thomas D. Eliot, of
Mass., James n. Campbell, of Pcnn'a., and
John A. M'Clernand, of 111., all belong to
this list. The "father of the House"
that is, the Member who has been longest
consecutively elected is Williamson" It
"V. Cobb, of Alabama. Mr. Corwin, of
Ohio, was in the lloase some years earlier
than Mr. Cobb, but has not been a Mem
ber of that branch since 1840, though he
hi? meantime served several years ia the
Senate.
The contested seats, which are unusu
ally numerous, are as follows :
Returned: Contested by
D. E. Sickles of N. Y. Amor J. Williamson.
W. G. Anderson of Ky. James S. Chrisraan.
J. M. Harris of Md. Willium P. Preston.
Hoary W. Davis of do. William G. Harrison.
Geo. B.Cooper of Mich. William A. Howard.
J. Richard Barrett, Mo. Francis P. Blair, Jr.
Lansing Stout, Oregon. David Logan.
E. Estabrook, Neb. , Samuel G. Daily.
Miguel A.. Otero, N. 51. Henry JL Watts.
It is probable that all these contests will
not be pressed, but enough of them will
be to give the Committee on Elections a
hard Winter's work, and create much ex
citement in the House aad throughout
the country..
The New YvrJc Tribune, from which we
take the list published, and from which
also we condense this article, remarks
that, on the whole, the portents of a stor
my session are unmistakable.
Iouslas vs. IHack.
In Harpers' Magazine for September
last, Judge Douglas published an article
giving his views on Popular Sovereignty.
A few weeks later, an article appeared in
the Washington Constitution, and subse
quently in pamphlet form, entitled "Ob
servations ou Senator Douglas Views,"
&.C., which, although it was first published
anonymously, is now well known to have
been the production of Judge Black, the
present Attorney General of the United
States. To these "observations" Judge
Douglas replied in October last, in pam
phlet form, but the doctrine of Popular
Sovereignty in the Territories being still
somewhat "mixed," and his adversary be
ing disposed to keep up the argument, the
"little giant" has just put in a final re
joinder, which he evidently considers sets
the matter at rest.
In the closing part of this latter pro
duction, Mr. Douglas states the positions
which the Buchanan Administration and
Mr. Black have assumed, and which, in
the course of the argument, he litis com
pelled them to abandon. In the first
place, Mr. Douglas places the Leeompton
Message doctrine, that Slavery exists in
the Territories by virtue of the Constitu
tion of the United States. He then ar
gues, that, if that be true, it must neces
sarily follow that it is the duty of Con
gress to protect Slavery in the Territories
as a constitutional right ; inasmuch as it
is incumbent on Congress to protect, by
all needful legislation, every light which
the Constitution confers. In this dilem-1
, Mr. Black abandons the notion that
ma
Slavery exists in the Territories, or any
where else, by virtue of the Constitution
of the United States, and even asserts that
nobody ever thought or said so. He also
concedes that the Territorial Legislatures
possess very extensive powers, and may
legislate on all rigltful subjects of legis
lation not inconsistent with the Federal
Constitution. More than this, he admits
that it would be an insult to the American
people to suppose that any Territorial
Legislature would abuse its powers for the
purposes of wrong and robbery.
The concessions thus made are wholly
inconsistent with the position taken by
the Buchanan Administration and after
wards advanced by Judge Black. Indeed,
the "little giant" flatters himself that the
Attorney General has abandoned his cru
sade against Territorial Legislation, and
that he has practically become a convert
to his great hobby of Popular Soveicignty
in the Territories. However this may be,
we incline to the opinion that these two
distinguished disciples of Sham Democ
racy are, in feeling at least, quite as hos
tile as ever. Our hope is that they may
never become reconciled. "A house di
vided against itself can't stand." The
pest-house of Loco-Focoism is now in that
dilemma and God grant that it may come
down !
Governor Wise.
Since the Harper's Ferry Insurrection,
Governor Wise has written and said a
great deal upon the subjects of Murder,
Robbery, Treason, and Old John Brown
This same Governor Wise was in Congress
in 1842, and made a speech in that body,
which contained the following passage :
"Once set before the people of the Great
Valley the conquest of the rich Mexican Pro
vinces, and you might as well attempt to stop
the wind. This Government might send its
troops, but they would run over them like a
herd of Buffalo. Let the work ouce begin,
and I do not know that this House would
hold me very long. Give me five millions of
dollars, and I would undertake to do it my
self. Although I do not know how to set a
single squadron in the field, I could find men
to do it. Slavery should pour itself abroad
without restraint, and find no limit but the
Southern Ocean. The Comanches should no
longer hold the richest mines of Mexico.
Every golden image which had received the
profanation of a false worship, should soon
be melted down into good American eagles.
del Norte, us tho routes of .Mexico cou!d carryt
aye,, and I would make better use of it, too
than any lazy, bigoted nriest-hood under
heaven."
Every line of this bombastic extract is
reJolent of Murder, Treason and Robbery.
And yet the man who uttered these sen
timents, now complains bitterly of Old
John Brown aud his Insurrection, and
charges him with "whetting knives of
butchery for the mothers, sisters, daugh
ters and babes" of Virginia ! If John
BrOWn did whot. Inivoa b-
' wiiv jim i
his object was to extend the area of Free-
dom, and release Slaves from their chains.
But Governor Wise has shown himself
ready to "whet knives of butchery for the
mothers, sisters, daughters and babes" of
Mexico ; and all to enable the vile curse
of Slavery "to pour itself abroad without
restraint !" Reader, do you think that
Governor Wrise is much better than Old
John Brown ? -
Senator Seward.
It gives us much pleasure to announce
toour readers that this distinguished states
man and true apostle of Liberty has re
turned from his European tour, lie
arrived by the Canada, on Monday of last
week, and his health is such that he will
be ready to take his seat in the Senate,
and at once resume the duties and respon
sibilities incident to that high station.
As Congress is soon to open, and the ses
sion will most likely be one of the greatest
importance, every right thinking man in
the North will rejoice to see the eloquent
Massachusetts Senator in his place. At a
cri:'s like this, his services are needed.
May his present good health continue ;
and may his voice long ring in the capitol
of this great country, in the advocacy of
those glorious principles which in their
defense brought upon his head the bludg
eon of the assassin.
Tfic Xext Goi ernurship.
The following we take from a late num
ber of that staunch Republican sheet the
Crawford .Journal :
We notice, by our exchanges, that the
gubernatorial question of next year i. be
coming a topic of remark. The question
as to who shall be our standard-bearer in
the State canvass of lSljOisan important
one, and whenever approached or discussed
it .should be in caution and prudence.
Upon the selection of a candidate for
this high, important, and honorable post,
may hinge the result of tne Presidential
contest on which we are so soon to enter.
In the heart and excitement of Presiden
tial elections, the remark has become com
mon, not to say universal, that "as goes
I'cniisylvan":1; 0 goes tlu; Union," and it
has always proven true. Iu l4S, Gover
nor Johnston carried the State in October
by less than 800 votes General Taylor,
the next month, by 8000 of a majority.
In ls.jiL, the Buchanan ticket in the State
in October, was elected by six or seven
hundred, and the next mouth Buchanan
electors were chosen by a majority of as
man' thousands. This shows the impor
tance of the question we are considering,
iu as much as we next j'ear elect both a
Governor and President.
We are free to say that we had inclined
to the opinion that the West was entitled
to the next nomination for Governor, until
the general association and connection of
Hon. A. (1. Curtin's name with the office,
who is being warmly urged by his hosts
of friends upon the grounds of his pecu
liar fitness, rare qualifications, ripe expe
rience, and unobjectionable locality, being
emphatically a center candidate, of Center
county.
No better than Curtin blood flows in
this Commonwealth. In the name there
is strength, and in Col. Curtin, a tower of
strength. He is one of the few who were
destined to distinction aud prominence.
As a lawyer he has but few equals in the
State, as an advocate no superior. Upon
the stump addressing himself to the un
derstanding of his fellow citizens by the
acre, he is in his element ; his hearers he
can never weary. When in high public
station he hv& never been found wanting,
while his warmest friends have ever more
than realized their highest and brightest
expectation.
With a well balanced mind, a finished
education, a political temperament, admi
rably controlled by practical knowledge,
his public speeches and productions arc
universally stamped with the remark and
impress of a genuine article. His style,
elegance, deportment, humor, wit, and
eloquence in Western Pennsylvania in
1S54, had much to do with the result, suc
cess, and glory of our triumph, in that
first modern pitched battle of principle,
in the Keystone. His pleasing originality
of conception, his captivating voice, his
convincing address, his powerful manner
of illustration told at the time, while the
general thrill and charm which during that
campaign, his address scut through his
audience in old Crawford, has never been
lost or forgotten. There was fluttering iu
the camp of progressive Democracy when
he charged upon their household. Hi-
arguments were unanswerable, his appeals
eloquent aud pathetic, his language smooth
and classical.
Such a character is Col. Curtin, and
such a standard bearer do we need in the
next Gubernatorial contest, if we desire a
continuation of our march from conquer
ing to conquest.
Our Western candidates all good and
true men will pardon us for throwing up
our beaver for Andy Curtin, the People's
favorite.
C7- A young lady passed through Cin
cinnati last weefe on her way to St. Lou
is, whither she had been forwarded by ex
press. She was from Paris, and, Wing
ignorant of our language, her friends had
placed her in charge of an express messen
ger. The "way bill" was made out in due
form, aud the charges made as per tariff.
The messenger declared that he never took
such good care of "freight" before, con
sidering it extra, we presume.
