Abolitionism, which, in moat cities, and
particularly in New England, is the correct
name for Republicanism, may be defined
to be a cheap way of expending philanthro
pyabroad and saving it at home. All the
abolitionists. (the New England type of the
article, we mean) whom we have known are
notoriously the most penurious and uarrow
souled men in their dealings with their
neighbors, whether white or black. All
their sympathies are expended on objects
of charity at a distance, and, generally,
their love of humanity is increased just in
proportion as the objects on which it is ex-
}mulled are removed from the reach of
their influence. A nigger a thousand
miles oft is an intense object of charity to
them, however well provided for he may
be by his master, while a poor white man,
or even one of a more dusky hue, at. the
next door may perish with cold or hunger.
without awakening the slightest touch of
sympathy in their bosoms, or drawing the
slightest pittance of charity from their
pockets. Let us illustrate this by a chap
ter from Massachusetts philanthropy, the
tact' of which we gather from the Boston
boner.
Matteacknrsetts, as our readers know, is
, zpverned by this philanthropic party—call
.t what you like—from Governor to path
toaster. There is not s count', and hard
ly n town, that is not in the holds of these
pinch-back philanthropists. There is not
It school house, church, tavern, grocery or
town hall that daily and hourly dams
not resound with sighs and groans for the
hardships endured by the "poor slaves"
sway down in Louisiana, Alabama and Kir
,issippi. From this tact one would think,
who is not posted up in the length,
breadth and depth otthe sighs and groat
i this kind of philanthropy, that-ohnd
hing as hardship and sufferinrstaalau . hu

Cot, r says it kw-sitatraY, that the meat
un i mpeu i r primoners at the jail in East
served ye, •In that State, was for months
and filled with worms ; that when
...Joking it gave forth an odor so offensive
that these who passed through the kitchen
were forced to quicken their pace, one of
the'matrons testifying that the meat was
full of worms, and sinelt so badly that she
could not carry it to thapsisoners ; it has
been proved that frequently the prisoners
would go without food, finding it impossi
ble to eat thei.stuff set before them : that
out one occasion twenty-Sue of them left
the table without eating ; that one of the
men expressed his willingness to work, but
said that he was too faint from hunger,
and that he could not eat the food given
him ; that it was a common occurrence for
the famished prisoners to go to the swill bar
rel, and to take fro it the refuse bones,
rice and bread, preferring to eat the offal
intended for the swine rather than to at
tempt malting a meal from the food fur
nished by the Commonwealth, through the
jailor. It was also made known by the ev
idence that the prisoners in the jail suffer
ed severely by reason of the cold—the
building being insufficiently heated, espe
cially at night. Even in the hospital the cold
was intense; and the patients were oblged
to wrap their bedclothes around them and
to walk about to keep from freezing. Did
the jailor know of these things ? Bear
what one of the witnesses says "C ne day
I showed the jailor a barrel of bad beef ;
he said it was good enough, and told me to
cook it ; that day twenty-five men went
without their dinners." One of the over
seers stated that the jailor ordered him to
shut up prisoners who complained of their
food. It was hinted to some of the subor
dinates of the prison that if they wished to
keep their places they must not speak of
these and similar complaints. Some dis
charges were made because these hints
were disregarded. One -man testifies that
he was discharged for telling of the treat
ment received by a prisoner, who wax fro
ten in his eel!, and then thawed before a
tire. Even were there not direct testimo
ny showing that the jailor must have known
of the putrid meat and freezing cold, it is
clear that such causes of complaint could
not have existed without coming to the
knowledge of any officer who exercised
even the smallest degree of vigilance. Up
on the evidence already given, the jailor of
the East Cambridge prison is guilty of the
grossest neglect of duty, or of dowright and
almost incredible barbarity. Nor is this
man alone to blame, says the Gourter. There
are men trhose duty it is to visit regularly
aWd exturtine thoroughly the condition of
prisons and Houses of Correction. Where
have they been ? What have they been
doing ? Give us the details of their visits.
How often—with what method were these
made? Who received the visitors ? Was it
the jailor f . Did be aoocoupsey them thro'

stated, on good authority, that his election
to the Speakership was effected at a cost
to his friends of about $40,000, but without
the expenditure by himself of a single
dollar."
The other day Mr. A. H. Banns,
of Easton,--a gentleman Gen. Pisan, in
an unguarded moment, made Governor of
Kansas—wrote a letter :withdrawing his
name from among the list of Republican
candidates for Governor of this State, in
which he talks very "sloquentty," as usual,
about himself in particular, and "mob
law," 'lite destruction of the freedom of
speech, action, opinion and suffrage," &a.,
&c., in general. Prr costra---Col. W. H.!
Rutter, editor of the Easton Argus, was as
sailed and knocked down in one of the,
streets of Easton, on Friday evening last,!
by Mershon Reeder, son of Ex Governor
Reeder. The attack upon Mr. flutter was
made in consequenoe of an article appear.
ing in the Aryas some two or three weeks
ago, upon the father of young Reeder, the
identical man who dim:muses so eloquent
ly about "mob law," "freedom of speech,"
&c. From this it would appear that "freer
dom of speech" is for much ss Gov. Reeder
and son, and not for gentlemen like Col.
flutter.
air The exploits of the republican Rep
resentatives in Congress are certainly
worthy the exultation of the republicans
of the country. They have elected a
i niit
S er from a State in which there is no
Wean party ; they have elected as
eat a recusant democrat, and for Bei
geant-et-Artits they have taken a Baltinsose
plug ugly. These are surely splendid
republican triumphs.
IT Brubss to Tais..—The Harrisburg
LTaion says the election of George Sander
son Mayor of Lancaster city by the hand
some majority of 209 over Thomas H. Bur
rower, Republiban, is another evidence of
the profound reaction which is taking Arcs
in this State since the development of the
ultra purposes of the sectional Republicans.
The contest turned purely upon political
questions, and each party exerted its ut,
toast strength. The vote was unusually
large. One year ago, Mr. Sanderson wee
elected over the same opponent by a ma
jority of but 13 votes; and last fall the
Opposition State ticket carried the city by
some 300. Now Mr. Sanderson has over
200 majority, his election showing • Dem
ocratic gain of 500 since the October oleo.
tion. The Democracy of the State owe the
noble Democrats of Lancaster, and their
gallant feeder, a debt of gratitude for the
victory they have Won, and the earnest
that they give of a complete victory in the
State and Nation at the next election.

et the responsibility of religious teachers.—
Whether it is not a great sin In parents, or
preachers, or the Church, to create an errone
ous conscience in those under their can, by
calling that a sin which, by the Word of God,
or by necessary inference from its teachings,
is sot, is a question for casuists and divines to
determine. If the sot of dancing, or of par
ticipating in a dance, is not sinful in Itself, no
one has a right to mil it a sin, or to refer to it
as a dented thing, or to hold up hands of ho
ly horror when it is mentioned, or to make the
impression upon others in any way that it is
anything more or less than it really is. But
the dissipation of public balls is quite another
thing. In these, the bad company, the late
hours, the extravaiputoe of dress, and the im
modesty of motion and posture, are ingredients
of evil that Cannot be mistaken, and render
such public promiscuous assemblages the hot
beds of every immorality and indecency that
they are. But may not a &son friends of an
evening join in the healthful exercise and the
graceful and exhilintting movement of the
dance, without being included in the same cen
sure with the gay and sensual revellers of the
ball-reows ? There is a greet distinction here
which religious teachers certainly do wrong In
cliMegarding. "Alt but," my they, "if your
pond does not breed tad-poles you will not
be troubled with troy. If you do not learn to
dance you will sever become an Acibitsie of the
ball roots and the dance-house." The argu

Mr. Editor • The contest among the Black
Republican leaders, about the candidate
of the Chicago Convention is assuming
some importance. It is really growing in
to a tierce struggle between the advocates
of the purely irrepressible conflict, as cham
pionised by Mr. Seward, and the more
moderate spoilsmen. who will not devote
themselves to principle, at the expense of
success. The hopes of these latter seem to
be centred on Mr. Bates, of Missouri. His
immediate friends are now making what
they consider an almost irresistable atoll
to cast around him the united influence of
all Opposition elements opposed to Mr.
Seward, and those extreme principles w hich
he, more than any other man, has nursed
into vigorous and prevalent political life.
The New York Ornerier and Enquirer, prob
ably Mr. Seward's ablest and most truated
organ has thrown its savage indignation at.
the movement into a leader, which must
have startled the busy armies of its cham
pion. Asa reflection from the mind of Mr.
Seward, this editorial is not of small conse
quence. This powerful journal declares,
that it, and all whom it controls, "bolt in
advance," if the intention be to trample un
der foot the broad, trrepreurble principles of
Seward. at Chicago, in order that an un
representative "expediency " candidate
may be raised up, upon a compromise plat
form of mere words, which will not repre

The mends and enemies of the New York
Senator are lit swords' points on the elec

side animated with a benevolent desire to
make no disabling thrusts.
Mr. Glosbrenner, the Democratic nom
inee, on both ballots yesterday ran within
one vote of the number cast for Mr. Bet
roes. Mr. Stalworth, the sick member,
who has not yet been in his seat, is expect
ed to-day. as also is Mr. Kunkel of Mary
land. By their aid Mr. Glosbrenner might
be elected to-day. Some enthusiasts are
very confident that he will.
Mr. Pennington announoed the Commit
tees on Thursday. You will see bow the
sense and honesty of the country has been
outraged in the constitution of some of
them. For instance, Hickman---JoAn
fueL
man—is Chaiymen of the Judiciary Com
mittee, and even Raskin has not been
unnoticed in assigning this most important
chairmanship. It is very shrewdly sus
pected that the Speaker has not as effect
ually taken mire of the "protective" inter
est; its Mr. E. Joy Morris pretended to
believe he would.
I shall speak more fully of the late Dem
ocratic caucus when more is known of it.
The debate was not stormy and violent, as
has been represented, but quiet and con
ciliatory. The resolutions of Mr. Browns
favoring "protection in the territories,"
found "no advocates." Those of Mr. Davis
seemed to tally more generally with the
opinions of Senators. However, they were
all agreed that whenever a case should
arise, under therpractical operation of any
let of principles, the Supreme Court would
become the final arbiter. Judge Douglas
and his opponents cordially agree on that
point. All the resolutions pa the subject
were referred to a Committee of five to be
harmonised, if possible, of which Mr. Green
was the mover and will be Chairman.

by fatting through a door of decayed planks
into a vault - . A dog belonging to the fam
ily, with that noble instinct of his species,
sprang et once to rescue the girl, but his

WS— The Pontiac (Michigan i Jueksonsan
of the 16th says : "A very exciting, nerv
ous shock of an earthquake was experienc
ed in Farmington township a week ago
last Thursday. Old terra firma trembled
for a moment like a majestic steamer lash
ed by the waves of the hty deep. Hon
es and a variety of q peds of inferior
intelligence to man exhibited a strong
disposition to depart hence. A heavy
rumbling sound was followed by crackling
noise very much resembling the falling of
a cobble stone wall."
is., The St. Louis Republican relates
the following : "Kate Lecount, once one

Poor House. Five years since a man of
the name of Wilson married her—or at
least she supposed she was married to him,
but it seems that the marriage was a fraud
—and he in some way got hold of. her
property, squandered it and loft her desti
tute. This was the beginning of misery.—
The story from that time*on is not an un
common one and needs not to be repeated
here."
sir A new gold fever has broke out on
the Isthmus ; the rich diggings this time
lying, not in the gravest ofChiriqui, but in
the bed of the Chagree River. The first
discovery of the precious metal was made
opposite the. old landin; at Cruces, and "a
large emigration immediately set out from
Panama to "pilospect" the place. The
neat correspondent, however discredits
the report that anew vein has been struck,
regarding the newly discovered deposits as
nothing more than a parcel of California
gold which was stolen some six or eight.
years since and hidden in the river. The
first cornets succeeded in recovering large
amounts.
