The new type, full and clear in the face and beautifully finished. we are vain enough to believe quite handsome: whilst the new "head," engraved to our order, at consider- Able expense, will no doubt be generally admired. Although "times are hard," this Oatlay is cheerfully incurred—cheerfully, because it is now, as it has always been, the height of our ambition to present a paper worthy of the sterling Democracy* of "little Adams." We have received a liberal share of patronage, and shall endeavor to deserve • continuance of it.

Our daily intelligence from the South, a portion of , which is given in this issue, is of the most alarming character. The eleCtion of Lincoln by the Northern States on a sectional anti-slavery platform has, as we feared it would ; awakened the most intense excitement in the Southern States. The more extreme cotton States seem to be on the verge of revolution, and threaten im mediate secession. The hauling down of the National en4ign—the hoisting in South Carolina and Georgia of the Palmetto and Colonial flags, the tone of the press, the public speeches of the orators, and the action of the Legislatures and the people, all give fearful evidence of the slimming state of feeling existing in several of the Southern States. We trust the fact that the Section alias are in a minority in both Houses of Congress will restrain the South from ex treme measures at this time—that moderate counsels ni - ay prevail, and the Union per mitted to fulfil the glorious destiny which we so fondly believed was her's to accomplish. All the evil of this civil discord'and threat ened danger may be traced to the act of the Sectional Republican party, which to secure power has inaugurated Sectionalism in the Giovernment. • OrThe new type used in thirilesillt were manufactured at the foundry of L. JOIINSON & Co., Philadelphia, one of the oldest and best in the country. The establishment needs no commendation at our hands. Its work is always superior. 't; "The defeat of Anson Burlingame spoil ed all our fun for Tuesday night. The grand results everywhere else throughout the country were only partial compensation for this loss." Bo writes one of the most virulent parti sans of Lineohl, to the 71-zbase. And so too would the New Jersey Republicans say of the defeat of Pennington. It spoils all their fun. But this is not all. That twenty-one op position majority in the House of Repre sentatives is likely to spoil all their fun for two years to come. The victory of the sec tionalists is a barren one. There is no fun in it. says the Patriot it Union. Flour Inapeeor— TV !tisk ey In:pettor, , &e.— It is reported that over four hundred Black Republicans are begging and beseeching from Mr. Curtin the office of Flour Inspect or', and over five hundred that of Whiskey Inspector. This is the way they grab for the spoils; what do they care about princi ples? Theis patriotism is all wrapt up in the loaves and fishes, and the illegal perquisites of inspecting flour and whiskey.

The Republisiiiii, thorough ly alarmed at the danger they have brought upon the country, are endeavoring to allay the excitement by the soothing appliance of kind words. After denouncing the South and threatening to overthrow her institu tions, they now turn round and a.'eure them ' that they really mean them no harm. At a Republican meeting, held in Philadelphia' on Saturday night week, resolutions were I adopted expressing sentiments of the "kind ' hest character for our sister States." This is all very well, but should have been thought of a little sooner, and so much damage might not have been done by the expresis• ion of sen ti ments that were not of the kind ', hest character towards the Southern States. These Republicans have invoked a storm • which they will not find it so easy to subdue into quiet. Like the skillful magician, who • succeeded by his art in summoning a demon, • the fiend of civil discord will not depart at their bidding, but may turn to rend and t destroy them. ilf these Republican leaders are now sin cere in their professions of attachment to the SOuth, remarks the Harrisburg Patriot, then they admit that they only excited sec ' tional feeling at the North and played up 'on it for political effect. The men who were persuaded that the South was an oppress ive and usurping section of the country that ought to be subdued and their infiuence de stroFed in the Government, have been cheat , ed. The fierce denunciations of the cam paign are laid aside for the conciliatory and kindly expressions of politiciani'who have achieved success by professions which they now wish to disregard and forget. Those Republican politicians must not be surprised if the Southern people place no confidence in their sudden repentance.— They did not calculate the consequences when exciting this sectional tumult—or recklessly defied the worst evil that could befall the country, rather than not use see tional prejudice as the ladder with which to climb into place and power. Lincoln's Yuture. The newly elected President certainly has a fearful prospect ahead. First of all he has to stand the swarming, ravenous crowd of hungry offlceeeekers,—all with claims as big as mountains,—for his favors. Ninety-nine out of every hundred must be disappointed, and as his party is made up of miscellaneous elements with no common principle except desire for spoils and hatred of the Democracy, he will find them differ ing widely upon. political questions, and the catastrophe which overtoole \ the Whig par ty in 1841, will shatter the Republican par ty to pieces in 1861. lle will find it impoe. sible to reconcile free trade and high tariff men, the American element and the For eign one, the Abolition radicals and the conservatives, in the formation of his admin istration policy. His party will go to pieces like a barrel with the hoops off. The Cincinnati Enquirer predicts that within ninety days from the time that Abra ham Lincoln isinau,gurated the Republican party will be g utterly ruined and destroyed. Ilia path is environed by so many difficul ties that, even if he had the ability of Jeff erson and the energy of Jackson, he would fail. But he is a weak and inexperienced man, and his administration will be doom ed from the commencement. If he takes i the radical section of the Republican par ty, headed by Seward, into his confidence, I and pushes the South to extremities, the conservative wingof it will cut Loose and repu diate him. If, on the other hand, he courts the conservatives, and pursues a moderate, conciliating policy toward the slaveholding States, the radicals will make open war on his administration. Speaker Pennington Defeated. One of the hardest blows which the Re publicans received in the recent elections wais the defeat of the Speaker of the present Congress. His constituents, like those of fitrlingaine, have grown tired of the man ner in which he has misrepresented them, and given him a respite from his Congress ional labors. This pair of Helperite Repub licans will now have an opportunity for re flection and repentance. Pennington may now employ his leisure time in studying Helper's Impending Crisis, and Burlingame his famous "Anti-Slavery Bible." We hope reflection may make them better if not wiser men.— Fork Gazelle. war The N. Y. Erpress gives the following illurtration of the manner in which the Black Republicans attempted to obstruct the polls in that city : " Born in the United States more than forty-five years since, a voter at every elec tion for Pre s ident for twenty-three or four rears, a resident of the State of New York . for a score ofyears and more, and — known to pospere all the qualifications required by the State constitution and statue law, one of the editors of the New York Express (E. B.) was this morning compelled by one of the Relniblican leaders. and one said to be an Englishman end a Wide-Awake. to swear that he was a eiti:en rf the United Stales, laceray one years of age," &c., &c. About that Lettcr.—The 'Album and Times announce, semi-officially, that Mr. Lincoln will not write a conciliatory letter to the South. To do so, argues the Tribune, is an admission on the part of Mr. Lincoln that he has been frightened into it by the clamor of the Southern diattnionists. "If anybody wants to know what he will do, they must 'read the debates between Douglas and Lin coln." It is quite enough to know that Abraham Lincoln is the author of the" irre pressible contlict"--that he was the author of such a sentiment as this: "I have always hated slavery, I think, as much as any abolitionist."—.N.

Slack Ulna "Zolileaticat." stir Nsssier 7Sor!--The Jolitication of the Black Republicans of this county, over their success in the State at the October election, proved, notwithstanding all the promises held out for "a big time," a bald fajure. The bad weather, they said, was the interfering cause. Their second attempt, however, on Thursday last—with good wea ther and good roads—proved no better. It wart, indeed, another break-down—Tutu No. Two! the There was no warmth in the "demonstra tion." The chill which the trouble.; result ing from Lino()ln's election has produced upon the leaders, ()mild not be thrown off by them, even for the occasion. The oh servant lookee.on could not fail to see that there was a heavy weight hanging about their necks.--a weight threatening direful consequences to their sectional party. The train at one o'clock brought to the Jolification probably half a dozen persons-- not more—from "Hanover, York, Little,- town, the Junction, and all intermediate stations." Presently the delegations, "ter rible as armies with banners," commenced "pouring in." First came one up York street, causing an immense sensation. It consisted of two one-horse wagons and a carriage—nine persons all told They had martial music—not very stirring, but still it wax music! They also bore g flag—a cheap combination of red and white mumlins, but that was better than no "decoration" at all. Next in arriving was a delegation from Fairfield and the extensive region round about. This was better than the first that came in—because in addition to several small wagons, there were a number of young men who rodo bravely on horses—managing their "prancing steeds" with the courage and dexterity of cavaliers of the olden time. It was an impressive sight ! The delegation was escorted to the Public Square by the band and some eight or ten gentlemen a horse-back, with sashes across their shout ders,—eignifying, we suppose, that they were to be loOked wp to as the marshals of the occasion. After a stirringly grand evo lution in the Diamond. the delegation was dismissed for a short time, until the arrival of the York Springs delegation, when the grand procession would be formed. The marshals then hastened out the State road, trying the metal of their chargers in the ef fort as to who should have the first sight of the anxiously looked for "immense dele gation" from " the banner district." The marshals were absent fifteen minutes—half an hour—longer yet. Town folks began to be excitedt Democrats felt like laughing, but Black Republicans urged that the delay aiigured well—that "large bodies are slow movers"—and that, therefore, one of th "crowds" might be looked for. Presently, the conflict of opinion came to an end.— The marshals aforesaid were seen -to ap proach town. Arriving at Railroad street. one-half of them took the back track for the "centre of festivities," the Eagle Hotel. and the balance, with rare courage, "faced the manic." and rode squarely into the Diamond, announcing confidentially to a fetkanxious friends that there "didn't seem NC be any delegation at all coming!" And they were right; there was none from that, or iviy other quarter, throughout the rest of the day ! The disappointments were various and numerous—"too numerous to men tion I" The " grand procession " wasn't bad—owing, of course, to the scarcity of ma terial. A change of programme was speedi ly announced. There would be speaking at 3 o'clock! the small handbill said. What a relief! Something was to be done any how! But, who was to speak? Was old Thad. here? No. Jordan? No. Duffield ? No. • What, no great gun at all 1 No. The disappointment here became intense. Who, then, would speak McPherson and Mo- Conaughy. The "crowd" looked blank— had been faithfully promised better things; but there was no other resource. Anything must do for a shift.. The stand for the speaking was erected in the south-east corner of the Diamond.— Around this several scores of persons gath ered, but coning short in numbers of an ordinary evening town meeting. To give our readers in the lower end an idea of the size of the gathering, we will state that it was nothing like as large as the Democratic meeting held at New Oxford one week be fore the Presidential election. Mr. Mc- Pherson was the speaker of the occasion.— It seemed to be an up-hill job with him, so hard did he labor. He evidently felt the responsibility resting upon the shoulders of the Republican leaders. His effort was a cold and a lame one. He tried to show that his party is not sectional, but failed to allude to the knock-down argument furnish ed in the Chicago Convention, which nomi nated Lincoln, when it struck, by a vote of the Convention, the word National from the name of the party ! He endeavored, too, to disprove the charge of Abolitionism brought against his party, by stating that Gerrit Smith had declared ho would not vote for Lincoln ; but the speaker never once alluded to the Abolition sentiments of Seward, Banks, Wilson, Cassius M. Clay, and other leading rights of his party, form ing a mountain of evidence against him.— After consuming nearly two hours in his labored tirade made up of "false premi ses" and "erroneous conclusions"—the speaker "dried up ;" and was followed by Mr. McConaughy, in a small speech to a small audience—the latter composed at the time, as we are informed, of about one-fifth darkies. So ended the afternoon and its disappointments. The evening was to "do better;" but how very " vain are human hopes 1" The turn out of Wide Awake.—" the Wide Awakes of old Adarns"—figured up the maywajfeent number of Afty-fire I—men and boys, or rather boys and men, all told.

On the beautiful evening of Thurs day last they had but fifty-five! "What a falling off was there, say countrymen 1" A portion of the iteputdicana illaminated— ot}rers did not.

The Baltimore &a, and o thers, .. persist in classing Pennsylvania among the States which have violated thesfederal compact. Pennsylvania is true to the compact, and has always been to. In the spirit of comity in 1826, for the purpose of aiding in the ac complishment to deliver fugitives when claimed, passed an act requiring the Justices and Judges in a summary way to take cog nisance of fugitives, and upon proof being made of the ownership of the elate, to hand him over to the owner or his agent. This enmity was conceived in a just and friendly spirit, only throwing around the fugitive some safeguard, to prevent kidnapping under oolor of law. This act was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United Stated in the case of Prigg vs. The Commonwealth of Pennsy 1 vania—t hen it was held that Congress had exelx.nve juris diction on the subject, and the State Legis latures none whatever—that Congress was adequate to all the emergencies of the sub ject. This they declared the law of the land and State legislation was entirely interdict ed. It was then that Pennsylvania passed the law of 1847, repealing the act of 1828 and preventing th&Justices and Judges un der a penalty from acting under the Act of Congress of 1793. By this act they left the whole matter to Congress and the Federal Judges under the Acts of Congress. The 6th section of the Act of 1847, in re gard to the use of cur prisons, was repealed shortly after the paisage of the Compromise Act of 1650. The other provision of the Act of 1647 preventing the claimant - of a slave from violently and tumultuously seis ing upon and carrying away his slave, or at tempting to seise and carry him away in a riot ous, violent, tumultuous and unreasonable manner, so as to disturb the publio peace, is in accordance with the common law, and does not interfere in the recapture of the slave. That right is not disputod—as Judge Story says in Prigg vs. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, "the owner may seise and recapture his slave, wherever he can do it without any breacA qf Use peace, or illegal vio lence." Such in effect are the provisions of the Act of 1847, leaving the Compromise Act of Congress of 1850 in full force, without any interference whatever on the part of Penn syl4nia With what propriety then can Pennsylvania be classed with the nullifying States' oldie North and North-east, which have passed laws interfering with the proper and full execution of the Act of Congress of 1850 Congress and Congress alone has any pow er and all power over the subject, and we in Pennsylvania have not the sluiddw of a law impinging upon the Act of Cknigrir of 18* or in its proper ezeoutlOlL borierom Mill `s‘l(l -41 P , Y.:":1'Mw:**' ''_ : T oral !tem%.

If we cast a glance over the numbers of this mag azine for the year just closed, and note the promises made in the prospectus, we shall find that Mr. Godey has done far more than he promised. He has furnished more en gravings, and in every other particular he has done more than his subscribers were led to expect. If he carries out his promises in future volumes as he has done in the past we may calculate upon a splendid series for 1861. The prospectus for that year has already been published, and it holds out in ducements which are irresistible. The ele gant fashion plate in the number before us will be the model for future numbers. It is unusually elegant. The beat writers have been engaged as contributors in the coming year, and nothing will be left undone to render the work the beat of its kind in the country. TOWN IMPROVEMENTS.—In addition to the new buildings in our place noticed during the summer, we can now mention the following: 11. DI WArrixt's elegant' cottage, two story, on West Middle street. is completed. It is substantially as well as tastefully con structed. no reasonable expense having been spared in ihi erection.

Faxintaicx Hues is having a fine two-story brick residence put up, lower down in the same street, to be completed by spring. Puna,. Damson's new residence, in York street., is nearly completed. It is two-story and an attic, brick. and finished in the host style. Indeed, it is an "A. No. 1" house. In every part comfort and convenience have been consulted. It is, beside, very at tractive in its exterior appearance. Mn. lifoxsosT is having erected a two. story brick dwelling nearly opposite, which will also, we doubt not, be in very good style. H. G.

Swots, Esq., has had a sizeable addi tion put up to his dwelling, with an attic covering the whole, affording room for a heavy and tasteful cornice. It is one of the very best houses in town. I D.

Joearn Wists's double two-story brick building, with an attic, on Carlisle street, (nearly done,) is a very handsome structure —may be classed among the largest and most attractive in the town. The President's House, on trio College grounds, lacks only a few finishing touches. It is a two-story brick, and painted the same color as the other edifices—white. We like its style, for the purpose, very much, and are told that it possesses every convenience. It is creditable to the College. As our stroll through town, the other day, did not cover the whole of it, there may be new buildings here omitted, unintentional ly. Those noticed are in good style, as 41 should be in this day of progress and im provement. We hope to be able to ehroidele even more evidences of goaheed-artiveneas in our citizens next season.

FALSE PROMISES.—One of the trans parencies carried in the Black Republican procession, on Thursday evening, promised "homes to the homelesti" and "lands to the landless"—all because of Lincoln's election ! The red aspect. of the times, however, bodes just the reverse. Northern manufacturing establishments are ceasing operations, throwing thousands of operatives out of employment. In our own town even, are these effects of a sec tional triumph already seen. The other day a letter was received by. the most ex tensive Coach-Lace Weaver in the place, from a city house, oountermandEng previous orders, and stating that on account of the hard times there was no immediate pros pect for further work.
