[From the Washington Union First Fruits of Sectionalism. The subjoined article, from the Indiana State Sentinel, is one of the numerous com ments suggested to the thoughtful mind by the extraordinary exigency growing out of the condition of things in the National House of Representatives. It transfixes the opposi tion, and shows to whom the'direful respon sibility .exclusively belongs. Sectionalism has done the work, and we are now reaping its first bitter fruits. The men who tell us that their ideas of freedom, or, in other words, their unconstitutional dogmas, their oaths, and their obligations—that all these are na tional—answdr this monstrous statement in the daily votes which they cast, solid, egainst one-half of their fellow-countrymen. When a historian shall proceed to tell why it was these men were voted into Congress, he will also be compelled to say that the movement which sent them there contemplated exactly the dilemma in which the country is now placed. Sectionalism in the House of Repre sentatives is the dominant and exclusive ma jority—and this, whether it assume the name of Republican or of American. Whenever the House of Representatives is organized, no matter who is chosen to preside over its de liberations, this majority will lay its iron hand upon the constitution, will attempt to annul the laws of Congress, and will array itself against the rights of the States and the rights of the citizen. This fact shows that, however its divisions about men may post pone the ultimate resort to its extreme pro jects, yet the moment it is enabled to forget these divisions the work to which it is fore sworn will be commenced. How monstrous, then, in the face of these facts, to charge up on the Democratie minority the responsibili ty of the disorganization which prevails in Congress! It is because the Democratic par ty is in the minority that the House cannot organize by electing a friend of the Union. We leave the Sentinel to tell the rest of the story : "FIRST FRUITS OF SECTIONALISM.--The second month of the session of Congress has come, and is going, and still the House of Representatives is without a presiding ofNcer. Two or three hours are each day-spent in an gry debate, and two. or three more in ballot ing, when the members adjourn to their com fortable quarters, and the people are left to foot the score—amounting to thousands of dollars a day. Never before was such a scene witnessed at the seat of government. The country has many times, since its organiza tion, witnessed thestrife of contending par ties. Angry debates on the floors of Congress have frequently occurred; but in all the strifes and contentions of parties, sectionel feeling had little to do. The members of Congress were the representatives of one or the other of the two great national parties which then bad an existence. They struggled for the tri umph of great measures which they believed calculated to advance the „prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people, without regard to the section in which they lived. 'But what do we now witness?: A violent struggle is progressing in which more than a 'hundred members are endeavoring to elevate to the speakership of the House a roan whose only resommendation to their support is his bitter hatred of the Southern half of our con federacy. On no other question than this does he agree in sentiment with the majority of those who support him. They were bank men; he is anti-bank. They were high tariff men; he is an ultra free trader. They were opposed to the independent treasury; he was its advocate. On all the great questions of the day, in fact, he is, and always has been, the antipode of nearly all those who are sup porting him. They adhere to him with the most stringent pertinacity, and it is one of the wonders of the day, and an alarming evi dence of the signs of the times, there is not a single representative south of Mason and Dixon's live for whom these hundred and odd members can or will vote. What will be the natural and inevitable effect of this state of things if not frowned down? Supposing that the feeling exhibited by these Northern representatives should be the rule of conduct of their constituents,-what would be the re.:" sultl No Northern man would hold inter course with a Southern man, would refuse to vote for him, buy from him, or interchange the ordinery civilities of life with him. Mu tual estrangements between the people of the two sections would ensue, and a dissolution of the Union would not only be inevitable but desirable; for we hold that when the peo ple of the North and South can no longer act together in harmony and concert, they had better sever those ties which exist only in name and not in reality. "It must be quite evident to all national men that the only refuge from this state of things is in the Democratic party. No other does cur carrpresent a common platform upon which all its members, of whatever section, are able to stand. In the triumph of the Democratic party rests the only hope of stay ing the mad tide of fanaticism which in 1854 raged over the country and filled the halls of Congress with men of one idea and no princi ple—men who isolate themselves from the Southern people and their representatives, and whose greatest ambition is to embroil the two sections in a violent quarrel. The boasted nationality of the Know-Nothing par ty has proven to be a will-o'-the-wisp—a figment of the imagination. Those who had hoped that that organization would put an end to sectional strife have been disappoint ed, and so will all be who think there is hope for such a result from any other than the Democratic party of the country." The War in Europe. Happy are they who placed no confidence in the peace rumors lately circulated with so much industry. The rumors were, as we al ways felt convinced, totally groundless; got up for a purpose in the stock provision mar kets—a purpose which was temporarily ac complished, but which is now having its na tural consequence—a reaction and a decline; a depression of stocks and of spirits. No one of common sagacity believed that Russia would accept the terms which Austria so offi ciously proposed, and those that professed to regard such terms as acceptable to the allied powers, must have been wanting either in sagacity or sincerity. No: there is no chance of peace whatever at present.. Russia has al ways been 'disinclined for it, and with the capture of Kars to encourage and flush her, she is very unlikely to think of it now. The Allies would not choose the present moment of inglorious uncertainty to urge negotiations on terms which must be less advantageous than they could octain at another time. That they should accede to the terms lately car ried from Vienna to St. Petersburg, is most improbable; for they are beneath the dignity of great powers who have made enormous sacrifices and always insisted that the cost of the war should be sustained, in whole or in part, by their common enemy. The onlyevidence that there is an earnest desire on the part . of the Western Powers for a peace, is the project urged in a French pamphlet •attribuledl to the Emperor, in favor of a general Congress of the nations of Europe, for the adjustment of all *questions that disturb or are likely to disturb their pacific relations. The very earnestness of this proposal shows that France puts no faith whatever in the present so-called negotia tions. Moreover, if a congress of the sover eigns of Europe were assembled, it would make only a remote prospect of peace; for nations move slowly; it would take longer to organize such a congress than it does to or ganize a Congress at Washington, and the nationalities, petty and great, would take a much longer time to adjust all their difficul tise than would the Americans, Republicans, Whigs, Harris and Softs, in our House of Rep resentives. But even this forlorn dernier ressort is not likely to prove available; for England, through her press, is indigrialpt at the proposition of her ally across the chan nel, and will not entertain the idea of sub mitting her affairs to a Congress in which the Czar of Russia and the monarchs of the vari ous wretched German and Italian sovereign ties shall be placed upon- a par with the Queen of Great Britain. When peace de pends upon such doubtful and distant contin gencies as are involved in the project of a Congress of European Nations, it must be in deed afar off. The extraordinary preparations for the spring campaign, making 5y all the belli gerents, are a further proof that there is no expectation of an early close of the war. The depression of the English funds is, however, a more significant proof. But the depression has not yet reached its lowest point. There is little doubt that after the 3lst of January, when Parliament meets, there will be a prop osition for a new loan to carry on the war, and of cousre there will be a fresh decline in consols. We mention this matter with a view to preparing the public mind in this country for what seems almost inevitable, so that there may- be no pretence of surprise when the decline does come. We have of ten urged upon our readers the fallacy of hav ing our own finances so much affected as they are by the English money market. It is a monstrous absurdity that, because the English treasury is oppressed, the money market of the United States should be distur bed. In the beginning of the war this might have been expected; but after nearly two years of trial, with our country in a condi tion of unexampled prosperity; with public and private affairs in an easy and improving condition, with no apprehension of being ourselves involved in a war; with foreign capitalists seeking American investments as the safest in the world, we ought to be able to look on unconcerned at the rise and fall in the money markets of London and Paris.— Above all, we should learn to treat peace ru mours, while the Eastern war is in a condi tion like the present, as tricks to deceive. A better reliance than all these speculating sto ries is our own common sense, and this, while it teaches us that there is now no chance of peace, will also teach us that here in Ameri ca no danger need be apprehended from the military, political or financial difficulties of Europe. The Rulers in Council—An Indignant Know Nothing. It appears that the Know Nothing State Council, held in Carlisle, adjourned to meet in this place on the 3d inst., mainly for the purpose of electing a delegate to the State Con vention, from this District. How it comes that K. N's. from other sections of the State can have a say in a matter of this kind, we do not profess to know—but so it was. Ex- Governor Johnston, who is ever on the alert. to join in the "wild hunt after office," arrati ged matters so that John Williamson should be the man. He knew the susceptibility of John to be worked upon by a dose of Jayne's pin s , so to secure him was to have a delegate sure. But, there was never a truer adage wtitten than the one which admonishes us that, "There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip." A. secret circular was sent emoting the chief priests and rulers, by those opposed to the ex-Governor's abolition proclivities, chang ing the time of holding said Convention to the Ist inst. This arrangement was kept from the knowledge of our worthy ex-Gover nor and his wooly-head friends, and, sure enough, Prof. Tiffany, Edie, the Congress man, Lem. Todd, and some few other intel lectual looking gentlemen, met here on the Ist and adjourned to Altoona, where they elected Mr. Jolly the Delegate. This was, of course, an anti abolition triumph. On Wednesday evening following, a con sequential chap from Pittsburg, calling him self Dr. Madara, being the advance guard of ex-Governor Johnston's abolition forces, made his appearance in town, and stopped at the excellent hotel of our riend Wingate. Be fore his supper—which was specially provi ded for him—was ready, he told his mission to a confidential friend, stating that the ex- Governor and his forces would be here in the morning. Imagine his surprise, when he was informed that a majority "had been gone and done it," in Altoona. Ha towered—he ra ved—he swore. He went into supper, cur sed the nigger waiter, swore the beef steak was all bones, although in such a frame of mind one would suppose he might have digested saw dust pudding staffed with soldier buttons.— Next morning he arose by time, his nerves some-what calmed, and left for Altoona to intercept his Excellency's forces for the 11. Now, was there ever any more duplicity extant—any more double-dealing knavery and treachery, than is practised by these spoils hunters to circumvent each other in the "wild hunt ?" We think not. The fam ily split is a nice one as it stands, but how it will end, depends a good deal upon circum stances. The corrupt old demagogues who make office seeking a trade, Will not give it up so—they will fight to the death, and our confident belief is that we will have a Kil kenny cat-fight to chronicle long before the next Presidential .election.—Hollidaysburg Standard. From the Washington Union. The Old Guard can never Surrender. In the present situation of parties, it is im possible to estimate too highly the impor tance of the approaching political contest.— Never was a graver or more vital issue presen ted to the American people than that which must inevitably enter into the Presidential canvass of 1856. This issue is union or disu nion. We speak not as an alarmist, but in the honest conviction that nothing but the triumph of the Democratic party can save the country from an Abolition President. Never were the enemies of the constitution and the Uriion stronger, more determined, or more favored by circumstances than they will then be. For years fanaticism ) politi cal, social and religious, has left no effort un tried to destroy- the constitution and its friends. For this aim they are marshalling their every man to make one last great effort. The country and the constitution have but one hope, hut one friend—the Democratic party. It battles for no mere pe rty ascen dency, but for the constitution. In defence of this noble instrument it enters the contest. Its cause is the cause of the Union—the con stitution and the Union, one and inseparable. By these they have lived ; by these they will conquer or they will fall—for the Old Guard can never surrender its proud banner! Our cause is a glorious one, and with a proud and willing heart will every true Democrat do battle in it. The struggle will be fierce, but the victory-will be all the prouder for that.— The hopes-of the people are in *the Democra cy, and their eyes are fixed upon them as they marshal their tried men for battle. They ex pect to see every Democrat at his post, and ready for action. Our enemies are harmless while we remain true to ourselves. Dissen sion and division alone can defeat us. These, then, are the enemies we have most to guard against. United—of one heart, of one mind, and of one faith—the great national Demo cratic party may defy all the combined hosts of fanaticism. Now all is bright before us.— Each day that comes shows us the old le gions which time and again have done battle in the good old cause, wheeling into line all eager for the fray. And when, the battle sig nal sounds to the music of the Union, the glorious old Democracy will bear aloft its proud banner in spite of all its foes combined —for the Old Guard tan never surrender. From the Boston Post, Jan. 11. -Vow Hampshire PolitieS. The first Democratic meeting for the cam paign took place at Lancaster, in Coos coun ty, on the afternoon of Tuesday last, when Hon. John S. Wells, of Exeter, the Demo cratic candidate for governor, gave an elo quent exposition of his political faith in a speech of nearly three hours in length. The meeting was a full one, and embraced gen tlemen collected from every corner of the ex tensive county of Coos, among whom were many veterans of the Democracy who had fought its battles in times as trying as the present. William Burns, Esq., of Lancaster, was in the chair, and made an able introduc tory address. Mr. Wells was received with much favor, and proceeded to the task - of de fining; his position. During three hours he:reviewed, with great power of analysis, the principles which sep arated the opposition from the Democracy, showing that they were foundationless, fa natical, intolerant, unjust, unconstitutional, and impolite, and that true patriotism, which upheld Union principles as paramount to all others, was at issue equally- with the definite doctrines promulgated by Know-Nothings arid Republicans. His strictures on the Maine law, the proscription of Catholics, the obstructions placed in the way of a free exer cise of the elective franchise by naturalized foreign born persons. and the late unconsti tutional action of the New Hampshire Legis legislature in the matter of the alteratiOn of the judiciary system of the State on mere party grounds, were peculiarly severe in their truth, and full of the conviction - which w ill condemn them at the ballot-box. Mr. Wells was liberally applauded throughout his speech, which was made under severe phys ical suffering. There is not a shadow of doubt that Democracy will give a triumphant account of itself in New Hampshire next March, and less that Coos will run up one of those old-fashioned hunker majorities which, not many years ago, made her a solid terror to sectionalists and political visionaries.— Mr. Rix, of the Coos DCMOC7 at, though in feeble health, is doing herculean duty in be half of Democracy, whose elements were never united and more harmonious in de termination after success than they are now. Mr. Wells, we understand, will visit the counties in the State, and will have the pow erful co-operation of some of the ablest speak ers at borne and abroad during the compaign. Precautions on Railroads The bill introduced into the State Senate by Mr Prices for the greater security of rail road travelling, defines minutely the duties and liabilities of railroad companies. It re quites that alt baggage and freight cars shall invariably be placed in front of the passen ger cars; steam whistles to sound an alarm at eighty rods from any crossing of the high way at tite same level ; speed to be reduced on ap proachinab a draw ; the running time to be so regulated that no two trains moving in oppo site directions shall be on tha same track at the same time, without a switch and siding between them, unless the train that is out of time is preceded by an agent on foot, eighty rods in advance, with a signal; wen any train is stopped when another is expected, a signal is to be sent eighty rods in advance in the proper'direction. In enclosed or fenced parts of the country, cattle guards to be con structed at every commencement and termi nation of such enclosure. When a rail is ta ken up for repairs, a signal is to be placed at eigity rods distant each way. It is made a misdemeanor for any one crossing a railroad with a horse or a vehicle, or driving any an imal on it when a locomotive is approaching within forty rods of such intersection. It is also made a misdemeanor, with ninety days' imprisonment, for s railroad conductor to get intoxicated $5OOO is the greatest amount which may be recovered of a railroad for any person's death through its negligence. No recovery of damages when the person in jured is acting contrary to the printed regu lations of the company. The punishment for injury-through the negligence of any em ployee of the road is twelve months' impris onment. If death ensue, the punishment is the same as manslaughter. Persons who put obstructions on railroads, wheraby death en sues, shalt be tried for murder. If injury is caused, the puniqhment, upon conviction, is ten years' imislsonment.—Evening Argus. Curious Geographical Fact Captain %Vm. Allen, of the British Navy, has published a book advocation the conver sion of the Arabian Desert into an Ocean.— The author believes that the great valley, ex tending from the Southern depression of the Lebanon range to the head of the Gulf of Akaba, the Eastern branch of the head of the Red Sea, has been once an Ocean. It is, in many places, thirteen hundred feet below the level of the Dead Sea and the Sea of Tiberias. He believes that this Ocean being cut off from the Red Sea by the rise of the land at the Southern extremity, and being only fed by small streams, gradually became dried by so lar evaporation. _ _ _ He proposes to eut a canal of adequate size from the head of the Gulf of Ababa fo the Dead Sea, and another from the Mediterran ean, near Mount Carmel, across the plair. Es dracion, to the fissure in the mountain range of Lebanon. By this means the Mediterra nean would rush in, with a fail of 13000 feet, fill up the vally, and substitute an Ocean of two thousand square miles in extent for a barren useless desert; thus making the navi. gation to India as short as the overland route, spreading fertility over a now arid country, and opening up the fer tile regions of Pales tine to settlement and cultivation. The con ception is a magnificent one, but no oufficient survey has been made to determine its prac tibility or its cost. From Washington From the correspondence of the Pennsylvanian. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 1856. The English papers are commenting with much wisdom upon the state of affairs in the House of Represontatives betraying, as usual, the greatest amount of ignorance, even in ref erence to the very details with which they affect to be well acquainted. Now, there is no doubt that if any such interregn urn could take place, even in England, it would be fol lowed by a popular convulsion, by the intro duction of armed men into the halls of Parlia ment, and by the establishment of martial law over the land. Here, acting upon the motto that the "world is governed too much," our people, confideni in the security afforded by their glorious institutions, look upon the efforts of their Representatives to elect a Speaker with the most singular complacency. They derive, so far from discomfort, many profitable reflections from the scene. They are perfectly convinced that the organization will come, and until it. does come, all the in terests immediately connected with the gov ernment can wait without suffering. There are no tax gatherers among the people to worry them ; there are no church dignitaries to oppress them; they themselves are not de pendent, as is the case in France, upon Gov ernment for bread and work, and should an exigency occur, such for instance as a foreign war, they are perfectly satisfied that our gov ernment would move into its orbit at once, and that the whole machinery of our institu• tions would work in majestic consistency with the principles upon which they are grounded, If the Old World was astonished when during the Mexican War, an unarmed nation suddenly sprung into military organi zation and power," when a million of men were ready to march at their country's call, and when the rivalry was not who should stay at home, but who Should g,l) to the battle field; (which was a phaze of American soci ety in its warlike aspect,) the trembling Des pots of Europe will be still more amazed to see the invincibility of those principles which govern the Americans in times of peace. It showg conclusively how, anxious the besot ted rulers of the earth have becoma, that the institutions of the United States should break down, no matter how, when they seize upon the disorganization of our House of Represen tatives as a text upon which to hurl their meledictions against our system. We will not insult an intelligent American reader by predicting the disappointment.of these for eign croakers. We will only say, that when a steamer arrives at Liverpool, bringing the news, as it will very soon, that the House of Representatives is in motion, and that the government is proceeding steadily in its proper paths, those libellers of our form of government will find new material for sur prise, and will be compelled to revise their rtrapheeies and to find - , that what next they can do to injure and to discredit the .American Union. Every day more clearly developes the mon ster design of the two wings of the great Abolition and Know-Nothing conspiracy.— One of these wings extends its dark banner over all the Northern, Eastern and Western States, and the other will seek to obtain as complete a control over all the Southern and South-western States. They are separated by the Slavery question; but this question does not alienate them as it'citts off all con nection between the Abolitionists and the Democrats. Between Abolitionism or Black Republicanism anti, the Democratic party there is not a single sentiment in common. They are as bitterly antipodes as the Democ racy and any other aristocracy can be. They are hostile in the devotion which binds the Democrats to the Constitution, and in thecon tempt which inspires the Abolitionists against that sacred instrument. There is an impassible chasm between them an the great social question of the union of the two races. They are at war on the principle of religious freeedom. They are at war on the issue of secret societies. They are at war in regards to the oaths and obliga tions of these societies. Brit between the Abolitionists and the Southern Know-Noth ings, there is only the question of Slavery in a very modified form. Observe how the lat ter try to meet the former even on this ques tion. The Southern Know-Nothings, with rare exceptions, were the enemies of the Nebras ka Bill. Even those who supported it are now trying in the House of Representatives to please the Abolitionists, by assailing tie principle of that bill. As the restoration of the Missouri Compromise is to be the issue between the two great parties in the coming campaign, you cannot fail to perceive that many of the prejudices entertained by the Abolitionists in favor of that compact, (after they had for thirty years 'set it at detianee,) are severed by the Southern Know-Nothings who are telling the people of the North that the repeal of the Missouri restriction was an uncalled-for wrong. But not content with making this difference between themselves and the Abolitionists as slight as possible 'on the Slavery question, the Southern Know- Nothings unite with the Abolitionists in their assaults upon the Administration, and in their -assaults upon the Democratic party, and in their assaults upon the adopted citizen, and in their assaults upon the Cathclic, and in all those other points of public policy which dis tinguish the opponent of the Democracy.— So that you will see how easy it will be for these two wings to unite together, should the Presidential election be thrown with the present House of Representatives, where that issue would be decided by 150 gentlemen out of 234, decided only by a shadow, and combi ned by. the substantial sympathy growing out of the mutial hatred of the Democratic party. But as if to mark the reckless inconsistency of the Southern Know-Nothings, you will ob serve, that in proportion as they seek to ob literate all difference on the Slavery question, exisiing between themselves and their oath bound brethren of the North, the Abolition ists or Republicans of that region, they labor through their leaders in Congrees, daily, to aggravate the Slavery question in the South, as between the Know-Nothings and the Democrats in that region, in order that the extreme advocates of Slavery in that quarter of the Union may be 'compelled to choose Know-Nothings in preference to the Demo crats ! Read the debates now going on in Congress. The Southern Know-Nothings pass 1)y the Abolitionists and the Republicans with an occasional gentle rebuke, but they at tempt to break down every truly national Democrat by searching Into his record for reasons to weaken 'his' position before the country, and for stispicions to use in the South, to prove that the Democrats are not to be trusted as the friends of the rights of the South. Why is this? It ie simply a ruse to prevent the Democratic party from uniting the Southern people in favor of those principles which are essential to the protec tion of those people, and of playing that game which will enable the opposition to carry sufficient number of States, so as to render an election by the popular vote in November• next an impossibility, and to secure a deci sion of the Presidency by the present Know- Nothing And Abolition House of Representa tive. 1 need not tell you in the North, who see what is going on around you, that the Republicans mill imitate their Southern allies in this —that they will try to carry off ail the States they-can against the Democratic can didate for President, whomsoever he may be, and now that they too will appear in the House of Representatives, with their candi date, so that the bargain may be struck be tween the high contracting parties. It will be a canvass of bold and fair dealing on the part of the Democracy . The principles of the Nebraska bill will be met and discussed as they are understood by the leading minds in Congress, and as they were understood in 1854, when the Missouri Compromise was repealed. On the other hand, secrecy will be invoked, and a double game will be played by the same opposition, catering to the prejudice of the South on the one hand,- and of the North on the other. You may set it down as a prophesy that this will be the condition of our opponents in the canvass shortly to come off. Where then will the National Whigs be found ? "That is the question!" Will they maintain a separate organization between the Democracy and this double headed opposition, or will they unite themselves in the ranks or the friends of the Constitution in support of the Demo cratic candidate ? DEMOCRAT. WAstitNcTorr, Jan. 18th, 1856 Mr. Buchanan has been instructed to de mand the recall of Mr. Crampton, for the complicity of the latter in the matter of enlis ting, troops for the British service in the Uni ted -States; There is now no doubt on this subject, and if the British Government does not yield to this demand the United States Government will, in all probability, be com pelled to send Mr. Crampton his passports.— Lord Crampton has carried his purposes with a high hand in all our late negotiations with Great Britain. It was under his instructions that the treaty made between Mr. Clayton and Sir Henry Bulwer, in 1850,.was violated. In all the extraordinary and forcible interven tion in the affairs of Central America, as well since the acquisition of California as since the enactment of the Clayton-Bnlwer treaty, he has been the master spirit, and it is not doubt ed that in reference to the enlistments for the Crimea in the United States, that he, being the leader of the war pally in Great Britain, also instigated that movement, and now takes the ground that Mr. Crampton acted under the authority of the British ministry in proceedings which could not have been car ried en in this country, as must have been known to that ministry, without violating our la ws ! I do not conceal from you that the course of the Administration, in reference to Mr. Cra.m pion, intermingled as it is with the Cen tral. American difficulties--difficulties grow ing out of the gross violation of a treaty fair ly made in 1850, may end seriously; but these was no other course left for the President,— We have lone. since ceased to be dependent upon Great Britain or any other foreien pow er. We cannot be intimidated by her threats and if in the present case we were to submit wthe injustice of her ministry we should be humiliated before all the nations of the earth. Rest assured that the facts will fully sustain our patriotic and fearless Chief Wigistrate.— As if to add to the sense of security, that if trouble should come, it will not come until all honorable means have been exhausted to pre serve peace. Our national character will be in the keeping of James Buchanan, who, hap pily for the country, is, at this juncture, the representative of the United States at the Court of St. James.
