The League of the Abolitionists at home
and abroad to overthrow the Consti-
tution
It has not escaped the notice of careful ob
servers that great changes are taking place
in the conditions of mankind and of govern
ments. ,Two of the leading powers of
Europe have undertaking to control and gov
ern the world. They have sent their armies
to cru'shl the Russian Empire in the East, and
they have organized - a secret union with - the
abolitionists of this country to break in pie
ces the colossal republic of the West. In
the sacrifice of human life, in the expendi
ture of treasure, in the means of attracting
public attention arid diverting the public
mind, the contest with Russia far surpasses
the silent efforts made to destroy our institu
tions; but in permanent effects upon the well
being of the human family, in momentous
consequences to the race, the success.of the
Allies here would far transcend their most
complete triumphs over the Czar and his for
ces.
The destruction .of the Russian navy in the
Black Sea because it- might be used at some
future day to strengthen the empire and ulti
mately to threaten the supremacy of France
and England in the west of Europe, and the
overthrow of this government, would com
plete the triumphs of the two Powers and
leave them the easy masters of the world.—
A year and a half ago it was not deemed
probable that the British aristocracy and the
French Fanperor—for they are the aggressive
parties, the true Holy Alliance—would find
an actual enemy in Russia. When Lord
Clarendon pompuouslyl avowed a cordial
union between the Cabinets of London and
Paris, and signified to this country the inten
tion of the alliance to regulate the political
concerns of America, though it was not then
counted that Nicholas would be an accom
plice it was not expected that he would be
an enemy. What was known to be the
weakness of Russia—her insufficient navy in
the Black Sea—was relied upon by the Wes
tern Powers as a sufficient guarantee that
Nicholas would keep the peace. That was the
salient point in the Russian outworks, and
when the Emperor became intractable, the
whole Means of the Allies were concentrated
upon it, and they have succeeded in destroy
ing it. In the destruction of the Russian na
vy, as the English had previously destroyed
that of Spain and Holland ; with a view of
crushing a growing maratirne and commer
cial rival, the Cabinet of London has accom
plished all that it desires. Nothing more
can be done against Russia that will not pos
itively injure the cause of British industry.—
What else is really required to satisfy the
ambitious cravings of the Emperor of the
French and to fortity the Napoleonic dynas
ty, time will show. Meanwhile, no matter
what may be'the termination of the war—no
matter how degrading the submission of Rus
sia, nothing has been effected so long as this
republic . is permitted to exert its corroding
influence upon the thrones and sceptres .of
European monarchy.
The late Foreign Minister, M. Drouyn de
PHuys, said to our Secretary of Legation :
"We (France and England) are in more clan
ger from peace with the U. States than from
the war with Russia." He saw the political
and moral influence of this government and
people upon those of Western Europe; he
knew that it was possible to destroy the ag
gressive power of Russia in the Black Sea by
a single campaign, and he thus presented the
key that will unlock and expose the secret
machinations now in force in the cornbtna
tion of the abolitionists of the two continents
to overthrow the Federal Union. Ile was
right. His system of government rests upon
the will of a single man—ours upon the will
of the people. His has been the plaything.
In turn of rival aspirants for the seat of pow
er—the cause of wild revolutions—surging
from abolitionism to republicanism—now the
sport of anarchy—the populace, long restrain
ed and oppressed, maddened .with rage and
crazy for blood, and then as' if by magic
hushed into silence and abject submission.—
Ours has been for more than seventy years
the scene of order, unrivaled thrift, peaceful
and .suceessful industry, general education,
religious and political tolerance, and the as
sylum of the oppressed of every country.—
We have extended our population from three
to twenty-five millions—we have tripled our
territorial area, for every acre of which we
have paid a fair equivalent. Our organic
forms are those adopted by the fathers of the
republic, not a line or a precept of which has
been set aside.
Our system and those of France and Eng
land are essential antipodes. They make
ceaseless war upon each other by the testi
mony they respectively bear to mankind of
the two principles as found in practical re
sults. We seek the regeneration of France,
just as the human mind, becoming enlighten
ed, removes from itself the shackles of igno
rance, and of social and political errors.—
Ours is the Christian word, to be delivered
to the unbelieving Jews of monarchial Eu
rope. We secure its promulgation by works
in the peaceful vineyards of popular free
dom.
Many of the leading politicians of Eng
land and France expect that the, year 1856
will bring about the overthrow of the Amer
ican government. They regard the mine to
effect this as already set in the cordial union
of the abolition, societies of the two conti
nents, by which they hope to secure the tri
umph of an anti-slavery President in the
North, and thus effect the disruption of the
federal compact, Vast sums of mony have
already been forwarded to confidential agents
here to, influence the American press 'and
people, to assure the election of an abolition
ist to the Presidency, which they know is
revolution and an utter breakdown to the ex
isting government.
It may be said that the alliance of our abol
itionists with the governing classes of Eu
rope is improbablein its nature and impossi
ble in fact. Those who thus argue have a
very limited idea of the schemes and expen
ditures which the rulers in Europe have adop
ted and made to perpetuate their power.
They forget that the present we'''. with Rus
sia, which has cost them a thousand lives a
day, and hundreds of millions of treasure,
was undertaken, not to settle a long standing
quarrel 7 not to vindicate individual, rights,
not to avenge a national insult, but to cripple
a State whose rapid growth threatened at
some future time to make it their rival upon
the sea as well as the land. Upon both these
elements the government of the United
States if not superior, is equal of either of the
assailants of Russia. Our republican system,
our great commerce, our manufactures, our
unrivalled agriculture, our boundless resour
ces, our fachties for concenarating our popu
lation, our geographical defences, the very
breadth of our front, and the depth of our in
land—all these things make us a fearful ene
my, and:one more effective in peace than in
war.
There is but a single weak point in our
position, and that is in the possible overthrow
of the federal constitution by intrigue. If
the monarchists of Europe and the madness
of our alpplitionists can do it, it will be done.
If money cau buy, - treason betray, or fanati
cism surrender the citadel of the public liber
ties, it will be surrendered.—N. Y. Herald.
From the Cincinnati Gazette, Oct. 22
The Pork Trade in the West.
For some months past the pork trade has
attracted more than the usual attention of
parties immediately interested, and as we
are now close upon the period when active
operations will commence, a glance at the
present position of the business, and its fu
ture prospects, will not be without interest, es
pecially as it is a branch of trade in which not
only producers and packers, but also almost
every class of merchatitile men, are concern
ed directly or indirectly. Hog products en
ter largely into the food of mankind in every
nation, and the products of the United States
have generally furnished sufficient for home
consumption, and a very considerable surplus
for export. In point of importance, there
fore, hogs•are next to breadstuffs in farm pro
ducts, and this season the importance of the
trade is largely enhanced by the extraordina
ry high prices that prevail. In the first place,
producers and the country at large are inter
ested, because, if a foreign demand should be
experienced at present high rates, provisions
would serve to a greater extent than in any
former year the place of gold, in settling our
balances with foreign countries. In the next
place, consumers are interested, because, if
present prices are sustained, every descrip
tion of meat must rule high throughout the
year; and last, but not least, packers are in
terested, because, if prices are not sustained
for the manufactured articles, heavy losses
will be encountered for the purchases already
.madd and to be made during the early part of
the 'season. As the course of prices for pro
ducts will be governed by the supply and de
mand, we will direct our inquiries, - first and
cheifly to these two points.
As to supply, the general impression is,
that. the number of hogs in the West will fall
short of last year, when the packing was
twenty-two per cent deficient as compared
with the prevous season. This supposition
is based on the followingground : In almost
every hog producing State the corn crop of
1854 was largely short, and the stock of hogs
was consequently not kept - up, so that the
number in the country at this time, is not
sufficient to make a crop equal to last year's
packing, notwithstanding the present su
perabundant supply of corn. - Then, in addi
tion to this there is known to be a large de
ficiency in the supply of old product that will
go over into the new season. -Thus a de
ficiency in supplies, sufficient, it is supposed
to justify the rates that are now being paid
for hogs,'is figured up by operators. Were
the hypothesis upon which these conclusions
are based reliable beyond any reasonable
doubt, the result of the business would be
certainly satisfactory, but this cannot be said
to he the case.
It is unquestionably true that the number of
hogs in the country at this time is largely de
ficient as compared with last year ; but it be
ing also true that a small proportion of the
hogs actually produced go into the hands of
packers, it may well be questioned whether
the present heavy crop of corn, and the high
prices that prevail for hogs will not operate
to a very large extent towards making up the
deficiency that exists in numbers, so far us
regards the packing business, and also to so
' increase the weight as to no more than anni
hilate the anticipated falling off. Experience
we believe, has fully established the fact that
high prices frir corn, and low prices for hogs,
prevailing at the sametime, have never fail
ed to result in a short packing of th latter
regardless of the number of hogs in the coun
try ; and low priced hogs have in most cases
produced the oppposite result. The latter,
therefore, is the main point to which atten
tion should be directed in determing the prob
able extent of the crop, for notwithstanding
the deficiency in number admitted in - the
-country, the circumstances referred to above
may produce not only a full crop but an ex
cess. Let us then compare the prices of corn
and hogs at this date for two years :
1854. 1855.
Hogs per 100 lbs. net, S 400 $6 75
New corn per bushel, 60 35
Last season the tendency in the price of
hogs was downwards, while corn tended up
wards, and at this time corn is heavy and
hogs are firm. We find, therefore, a class of
circumstances in existence that are well cal
culated to increase the packing. Those en
gaged in the trade can readily see, we pre
sume, how this may be done. Out of ten or
twelve million hogs produced annually in the
Western and Southern States, not much over
three millions enter into the reports of pack
ers. Circumstances, therefore, such as high
or low prices of hogs, an abundance or scar
city of corn, tend to increase or diminish
stocks, and this is done by farmers exerting
themselves to feed or neglecting to prepare
their stock for market, or selling closely, or
retaining full supplies for domestic consump
tion. It all the farmers in the Western States
were to contribute or withhold one or two
hogs each, to or from the usual supply, this
alone would make a difference .of half a mil
lion of hogs in the :lumber packed.
With the foregoing view of matters it isevi.
dent that the anticipations of a short crop
are by no means sure to be realized, but on
the contrary, we regard it as highly probable,
unless a sudden reaction and material decline
should take place in prices, that the number
of bogs packed will be equal to that of last
year, while in weight there will be an in
crease of at least fifteen per cent. This
would give an increase for 1855-6 over
1854-5 of fifteen per cent, in pounds, or an
aggregate on last year's crop as reported of
about sixty-five million pounds. The stock•
of old products, now in the country, as com
pared with those of the corresponding date
last year, are deficient about forty-five mil
lion pounds, thus leaving an excess of twen
ty million pounds for the products of 1855-6.
Now as to the demand, it is well known,
that prices, after they reach a certein point,
exercise a great influence on the consumption
even in the necessaries of life. The con
sumption of flour, which is the prime neces
sary, fell off last year fully one-third, in con
sequence of high rates ; and in the, event of
such prices prevailing for provisions, as would
justify $6 75 for hogs, we must estimate the
falling off in local consumption at twenty
five per cent at least. The prices current at
this date last year for the leading hog pro
ducts compare as follows with the present
currency :-
1854. 1855.
Mess pork, $ll 75 $2O 00
Bacon sides, 6 12
Bacon shoulders, 5 11
Prices advanced gradually during the year
but fully two thirds of the stock went into
consumption at .rates ranging from $l2 to $l5
for mess pork, 6 to 8 cents for bacon ; and
to 7 for bacon shoulders. At the rates
that now prevail for hogs, mess pork must
sell from the start at 18-50 and other pro
ducts in equal pioportion, so that the cm
snrcption will be influenced to the fullest ex
tent by high prices.
Preserving Potatoes for Seed
Mr J. N. Chandler, a correspondent of the
Patent Office, speaking of the preservation
of potatoes for seed, says the potato when ob
tained from its native mountains, was a small
watery, and even bitter tuber ; but by cultiva
tion it has been brought into so high a refi
ned state that most of the countries of the
civilized globe look at it as one of the most
important articles of food. In answer to the
question by what means has it been made a
chief article of food, he says by violating the
laws of nature:
"Every one who has ever noticed the dif
ference between the flavor of a potato in the
fall when first dug, and one in spring which
has been, kept in a large cellar, has observed
that the flavor became much impaired—
much more so than those buried in holes in
the earth where they retain nearly all their
freshness and vitality. It has also been no
ticed that farmers who have small and incon
venient cellars, keep their potatoes in better
condition than those who keep them in large
cool ones. Hence by storing them in the
weather and letting them wilt before planting,
they become weakened in their nature, and
are subject to degeneracy and finally to dis
eases.
"In order to obtain good potatoes for seed,
make choice of a small spot of arable land on
which water will not stand; an eastern
slope and new ground is the best—plowed
early in the spring, and furrowed four or five
in bees deep, two and a half feet apart. Select
middling sized potatoes which have touched
the ground during the winter previous, but do
not cut them. Drop one every eight inches
along the furrows and cover them by filling
the furrows with earth. Then cover them
with a top dressing of forest leaves or straw
two inches deep, As soon as the tops of the
yormg plants are two inches high pass be
tween them with a shovel plow and follow
with a hoe destroying the weeds and level
ing the ground; do not hill. This is all . you
have to do until' fall. When the ground be
gins to freeze, cover with straw chaff, or
forest leaves six inches deep, to keep them
from frost. Your potatoes will now have a
chance to test during the winter. In this
way you will have the greatest yield and
best quality. Continue this course from year
to year, and the rot not only disappears, but
tour crop will increase 25 to 100 per cent.
The third year you may increase your field
crop by plowing in fine manure. You will
now have had uature's course."
Why a Democrat Should Cling to his
Principles.
The following truthful and vigorous edito
rial vve'clip from the Maysville Express.—
ft is in reply to an article in the Frankfort
Commonwealth, asking why the old-line
democrats should *still cling to their party
since the new party has sprung up :
"Why.should any democrat still adhere to
such a party 7 asks the Commonwealth.
"We will try to answer : because it is the
party of the constitution ; because it is the
party which has at all times resisted and baf
fled the designs of those who, whether insid
iously or openly, made war against its wise
provisions; because it is the party which
would preserve this Union by preserving the
constii,ution upon which this Union rests; be
cause it is the party which defends the equal
rights of the citizens, and makes no war up
on his religious belief; because it is the party
whose policy alone has been curried into the
practical legislation of the government, and
proved by long experience to be wise and
beneficial ; because it is the patty which re
pealed the alien and sedition laws; because it
is the party which crushed the power of the
United States Bank, and repealed the bank
rupt laws; because it is the party which rec
omended and enacted that wise financial mea
sure, the sub-treasury system, by which the
government for years has been enabled to
control its own revenues without the loss of
a single cent; because it is the party which
enacted the revenue tariff of 1846; because
it,is the party whose representatives in Con
gress cast nearly all the votes which were
given for the fugitive-slave law ; because it
is the party whose representative in Congress
gave almost every vote which was given for
the Nebraska bill; because it is the party
which, though even opposed by those who
now constitute the know-nothing party, and
all other factious parties, has never been fac
tious itself, and has survived the wreck of all
parties; because it is the party which is alone
national, and stands like a wall of adamant
to resist, even unto death, all attacks upon
our glorious constitution and Union, come
from what quarter they may, whether from
abolition traitors in the North or their recent
allies in the South, the_ secret, oath-bound or
der of know-nothings; and-because it is the
party under whose administration of the gov
ernment our nation has grown and prospered,
until it has become the greatest, most hap
py, and most powerful on which the sun of
heaven has ever shone-"

The Recent Election
The steamer which sails to-day will carry
to the Atlantic States the official vote of Cal
ifornia at the late election. Although defea
ted, the democracy of this State have reason
to be proud of the. result. The election re
turns establish the fact that not less than for
ty-six thousand votes were cast for the candi
date for governor; and that the party, the
true, old-line democracy, yet remain firm in
their allegiance to principle. Gov. Bigler,
as our star.dard-bearer, may well feel proud
of the vote he received, as an evidence of the
high estimation in which he is held by the
mass of the democracy. The vote cast at
the recent election, contrasted with that of
1853, compares favorably for the governor,
notwithstanding his defeat. In 1853 he re
ceived 39,000 votes a majority of all that
were cast at the election of that year. This
year he has received over 46,000 votes.—
Strange as it may appear to those who hate
attentively watched the in-coming and out
going of emigration by land and sea, the fact
stands recorded that in the aggregate over
ninety-five thousand votes were polled at the
late election--exceeding by more than twen
ty thousand the vote of 's3—and nearly six
teen thousand that of last year.
When the fact is taken into consideration
that, as we have the best cause . to believe,
upwards of six thousand of the naturalized
citizens who voted at the elections 0f 1 .53 and
2 54, and who would generally have voted the
democratic ticket, were disfranchised and ex
cluded from the polls by reason of the deci
sion of the supreme court a short time prior
to the election, the vote received by the dem
ocratic ticket was truly gratify ing, and the
position of Gov. Bigler as a defeated candi
date—overwhelmed, while battling for the
time-honored principles of our fathers, by
the rush of a new, enchanting, but delusive
idea, and the machinations of a secret foe—
is higher, infinitely higher and nobler, than
that of those weak brethren who deserted the
standard in the hour of danger, and proved
traitors in the thickest of the fight.
PreSident Pierce and the Indians,
The following interesting paragraphs we
find in the Washington correspondence of
the St, Louis Republican :
"I learn that the President has determined
on a new Indian policy for the government.
Heretofore the policy has been' removal. So
soon as any questions should arise between
the white man and his red brother, involving
any serious difficulty, instead of meeting
boldly the questions, and settling them, the
previous policy of the govermnenti has been
to remove the Indians further into the wilder
ness, and stave off the responsibility of the
issues. The very necessity of the case now
forces the government to change its • policy
for there is no longer any West to which to
remove the poor !alien. The white popula
tion of California, Oregon and Washington,
will soon demand that this encumbrance be
started on the opposite track, and that the red
man's path shall be eastward.—ln this crisis,
President Pierce has determined to adopt the
opposite of the old policy, and con thine the
Indians on their reservation—curtailing their
boundaries instead of enlarging them. This
will force them to turn their attention to agri
cultural and mechanical pursuits, and tend
to their rapid civilization.
"They will be surrounded on all sides by
the music of the ploughman's merry whistle
and the busy clink of the mechanic's hammer
and these influences must affect in greater
or less degree their wild and savage nature.
On Lake Snperior several tribes who had been
thus surrounded have become excellent citi
zens. One of the Saganaw tribe is now large
ly engaged in ship building, and has a large
capital invested in the business. Others of
the tribe are engaged in the various mechani
cal trades, and are doing well under the force
of precisely the same policy which the gov
ernment has determined to adopt towards
all.
CARRYING IT Too FAR.—The Phila. Daily
News of Monday says :
"The market for breadstuffs on this side
the water is said to be much above the ad
vanced prices ruling in Liverpool and Lon
don. The French can now buy cheapar
there than here. The New York Post says
that . the shipments now making are at one to
two dollars, ivaluding charges, per barrel
more for flour than in Liverpool ; and this
fact alone renders bills drawn against them
unsafe. Speculation has been carried too far.
The advance in the foreign markets has
been more than anticipated long ago, and as
the daily supplies in the New York market
have much increased of late, prices are de
clining. We note another decline in flour
and grain in the market, and the tendency is
downward."
