The position of Gen. ableyon in the Cab. inet of Piesiclent Lincoln, i's yet adisfinted point. We hive seen statements that he has been positively offered a -position its the new Administration ; and others again, stating just as positively, that it was declined. That there is a party"in Pennaylvania, op. posedto Gen.Cameron,there can be no doubt.• Why it is so, we cannot say ; nor have we any idea of its extent or influence. But, of one thing we feel certain, that if tliPpcopie are to be cousnited, Gets.. Cameron will 'rep- resent Pennsylvania in the Cabinet of Pres. ident Lincoln. It is a compliment to which tli State is justly. entitled ; and that she claims the appointment of Gen. Cameron, is warranted ty the fact, that in the State Con. vention, , convened to appoint delegates o Chicago, oild'hundred and twenty -eigh . l the delegates, out of one hundred and th . •ty three, were in favor of his nomination o the Presi. dency.

LETTER FROM HON. B. F. MAKIN. To the People of th 9 10th Congresislonal Dletriet opPenuoylvanhi.. • ,so mimerdus are the resolutions, passed at meetings held without regard to party, in my District., milting that I shall give my support to. the Crittenden Amendments, d hat. ,I. feel bound, instead of consuming the , ,time of this ,short session by is speech, to resort to the an cient' but•eifectual method of addressing my constituents by letter. - There is but one itn portpnt amendment proposed by the gallant and Omit Senator from kentueky, and that relates to the territorial question - At first; sight, it -appears fair; reasonable, and just, and so far as stir present territory is concern ed, it is 50 ... . ,2 1A a careful perusal, discloses one feature, doh I verilY.belieire, has after escaped the attentioyof the people, or has. been by them, in' Cr _commendable zeal for union and pence{ - hastily consiZlered. It iS il this.-Mr. Crit nden asks the people of filo United States to adree, that in all the territory .we now own or way hereafter acquire south of 313" 30"—the Missintri Compromise line "Slavery is 'hereby recognized as existin,q, and shall not be interfered with by. Congress, but shall,be protected as property by all the Do partiOents of the Territorial Government dur- ' ing its continuance." l '• ;, ( .., This changes the whole,charader of Sla very—makes-it a Notional Institution, -guar anteed and protected - by the COnstit'ution, in stead of a mere local regulation, belonging exclusively to,..the jurisdiction of the State'. Legislature. The only territory Tim owned by the United States south . of 86/ 80" out of .whielt new,Slates can be formed, is New Mei ieb anti Arizonia. The Legislation of` 1850. town as the. compromise of 1850, 'allowed the people thereof to determine the question for themselves. They have determined it, bynt n acting a slavocode. There are now in that tei:"." rilory, one.male,toul eleven feMOle shires. , . The Report of the lloutte Compiiitve, of 83, proposes to admit New Mexico as n State, and as slavery already exists there, I presume it will be ndmitted as a Slave Stale: -No South• ern man'expects Or asks, to place elaverynorth of 36/ It{([, because he admits, it cannot live there, 'would bo useless end . Unprofitable. Then what is the dispute about ? Is it tvhether the one male lin& eleven female slaves in New Mexico shall remain there, or be removed? Why we propose to admit New Mexico pre cisely as it now is, lind I will vote for it. But this is not satisfitetory t o .t he South—at tenet to the Cott on'States. They answer that New Mexico trill heroine free. Well we can't help that. We can give them the territeryl--but, we can't•stipply the negroes. It is theirlbusi ness to provide inhabitants of the requisite color. But the real contra verity C the argiusi. lion of the new territory': that is to say, the annexation of ,Ilexica. Hence the Crittenden Amendment provides,,that in alpine territory' we HOW' own "Or rune hereafter acquire south of 36 , 80" darery is hereby recogniz , ol as exist ing, and shall nal be interpred with by Congress but shall haprotected tic " Mexico in 1810 abolished slavery through; out her dominions. 'Oll no font of her terri tory does sla - very now exist—and if acquired by conquest or treaty, mould be free, by evh.y, rule of low applicable to newly acquired ter ritory. But the Crittenden Amendment is de signed to make it slave by a Constitutional pro rision=ml which if ,adopted would ,produce thnt'result. Now I apprehend that not two 'men out of every- ten, who have been voting for Ibis Crittenden Amendment in the nuttier; ous public meetings held in 'York, Cumberland and Perry, whether Democrats, Bell 'or Lin coln men, intended or believed that they were voting an amendment, to the Constitution, wheveby they bound themselves, and their posterity forever, to extend, estalnish and pro tect the institution of negro slavery down to the Isthmus-of Pannion. But it may be answered, Mexico con never be acquired. Irwin be acquired—no man can close his eyes to the fact that (bat dis tracted Republic is rushing headlong into our embrace, nnd but 'few years will elapse before it will become a necessity to seize and govern that garden of the earth. The seceding States intend to seize it, but in the event of separation of the slave and free States into two Republics, it will become the duty of the northern Republic to protect hull' by first Heizing and governing Mexico—and it will be done, EIMM "laid before The Comm f 33 propose to amend the Constitution, .0 preclude Congress from abolishing s;lvery in the states, without the consent or all the States. This . I will vote for, althougli4rtems like supererogation to bind nit ourselves to do, what we not only never wished to do—but Willa everybody agrees we have no Constitutional power to do. But the Border States t, this, and I will agree to do everything in m power to secure and satisfy , them . I I think also, that our Legislature should revise the Act of 1817 as well as thoserrectiens of the new penal code of 'lBBO. and if folihd in the slightest degree conflicting with the fu gitive slave law of 1850, or. have even the ap pearance:of evil promptly and manfully 'blot them from . the statute book—net grudgingly and reluctlantty—but cheerfully, unanimously and unconditionally. As to these seceding stalps—we know enough of their leaders to feel satisfied that they are for disuniJo per We that they purposely broke up,- the democratic party at Charleston and 'llaltimOre, so that the election of Lincoln would be a certainty—in order that they might seize on that resat( ns n pretext for•disunion, •and_ the pstablishntcnt of a Southern Confederacy. They wish 'no settlement, no comprowttge— they desire a slave holding eoufederacy, with which to seize Mexico and Cuba, establish free trade and direct taxation. They have con spired to seize upon the capitol, have already seized forts and arsenals and munitions of War belonging to the Federal Government— have planted cannon on the banks of the Misr sissippi river---and worst and meanest of all they have fired upon, Minified and dishonored the flag of the nation. They have levied war against the United States—are coercing the Federal Governmetit inhumanly sur rounded the gallant Anderson at his post— and are endeavoring to starve him cut like a rat. And yet their minions in end out of Con gress, are shouting vociferously "no coercion, no war upon a sovereign State," while these same'soverehtmStates are belching forth fire, and ball upon the sovereign Federal Govern ment with might and main. Who counsels compromise with •such traitors' and rebels? Why if compromises were as "plenty as black berries I would give none 'uPou compulsion." But there are Slave States which have not re sisted the Federal Government—States that are loyal and,ltue to the Union. Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Caro lina, Delaware, and possibly Arkansas and Missouri, nay even Texav is not wholly lost. These States aro' entitled to the kindest and most patient heating. They are border states many of them Cur neighbors - have lived peacefully beside us for cue hundied years— and have our good will. They know us, and wo know them. Some of them have been ea ferere from mobs' and lawless acts, and have lost slaves and complain. but do not propose to destroy ilin - Union. With these we nuts cultivate the kindest. feelings— must be try' , and faithful to them—leaving nothing unddho that will,tostify to them our earnest desire to befriend and protect them. The masses in Giese. ' States are not onlrloyal—but are now resisting with Herculean labor, the insidious 'and passionate appeal, 'made by reckless but eloquent men, to. induce them to destroy the noble work of their noble sires, and plunge into the wild hunt for empire and power. And tbey;will remain true, if we meet and strength en their hands with words of good cheer and deeds of fellowship. I beg. my fellow citizens to remember that this is not a question of party—it is one of individual existence—not merely whether Mr. 'Lincoln shall be 'President for four years to come—but whether any opt) else shall ever succeed him. Refuse to sustain the constitu ted authorities new, and'you set an example for all future time—others hereafter will do likewise. This Government proteote all—not merely the men whit toted the particular per son into power - but as well the man who vo ted delimit him. not merely my govern. tnent 7 but youri also.—the 'government of every man woman and child born under the; folds' of the . stars and stripes, or who has adopted and - claims Its protection. It is no contemptable 'extemporized Brig, Mit' the stn. bleut of libeity, power, nationality, equality, law and order. •'• • 1 have personalli no more interest in this question than any other ottizen.of Pennsylva nia.

An opinion seems to prevail that in the event of civil war:Pennsylvania would be in a manner, defenseless for want of arms, and munitions of war, and that tiin Northern arsenals were stripped for the benefit of the Southern forts- This is &Mistake as will be seen from the .fol lowing article, which we extract from. the Philp. North Amerirp : People who suppo6 Philadelphia to be de fenceless in the event of trouble, are slightly mistaken. ThaC:4lto Northern arsenals aro being stripped fpr the benefit of .Southern foa -1 resses, be also , 4 mistake. Pennsylvania has two arsenals—ono In the Suburbs of Philadel phia, Bridesburg, and thesecond atPittsburg. Thellridesburg arienel is in the Twenty. third ward, about ;A miles beyond Richmond. It, contains tweniy fine brass field pieces, 6, 12 and 24 pounders, and twenty•one heavy guns. The powerful guns,called Columbiads aro all at Pittsburg, and are the particular guns a gainst. whose transfer to Texdsl the Pittsburg ers protested with so much vehemence a short time ago. In the Bridesburg arsenal is a stock of small arms Shut' would lit out a formidable array of troops. The stock comprises 19,000 muskets,l6oo inusketoons and rifles. and a fine stoc of ammunition for field guns. Its ammunition includes 41,000 pounds of musket and 0400 pounds of caution powder, ready for immediate use. ' Of saltpeter, for gunpowder manufacture, the arsenal contains SUMO two million pounds. The article, being one of the lending sinews of war, is purchased by the government in large quantities. The arsoititl uovf as 160,000 musket balls, ready for immediatil -conversion into ball cartridges, and 4,60,0001 be of sulphur also to enter into the composition of gunpow dim Six millions of gun caps are also in store, the entire United States army being supplied with caps made at this arsenal. 'The'present commandant at the arsenal, Captain llorgas; is .a Pennsylvanien,by birth, and was trans ferred to Ilridesburg six months ago from the U. S. arsenal at Charleston. Before taking command at Charleston, he was Chief at flue arsenal at Illount Vernon. 'Ala. The arsenal "at Gray's Ferry is different affair, being used for the depoSit of stores .rather than munitions of war. It, 'is com manded by Captain Gibson, and contains mili tary clothing and camp equipage sufficient to stock an army, of about ten thousand men.— Of all the arms in the country, the Northern States have about two-thirds, -and all of the `beSt and most improved munitions of liar.— The accounts of the quantity of U. S. arms in South Carolina and elsewhere are said to be largely exaggerated. WIIAT IS A &WAVE ?--WO haie heard it stat ed that seine of our young men entertain the idea of forming a company 'of Zouaves. In order that they may know the style of uniform and drill, we give them Doesticka' description of a Zouave:— A fellow with a red bag having sleeves to it for a coat; with two red bags without sleeves to theta for trowters, with an embroidered and braided bag for a vest, with a cap like a red woolen saucepan; with yellow boots like the fourth robber in a stage play ; with a mous tache like two half-pound paint brushes, and with a sort of sword gun or gun sword for a weapon, that looks like the result of a love af fair between an amorous broadsword and a lonely musket, indiscreet and louder—that it a Zotiava. , A:fellow who can 'pull url'a hundred and• ten-pound dunib•bell; who can climb up an eighty foot roriOtand over hand, with a bar rel of flour hanging to his heels ; 'who can do the •giant swing' ou a horizontal bar with a fifty-six tied to each uncle; whci can Walk up four flights-ol stairs, holding a heavy man in each hand, at arms' length ; and who can- 1 climb a greased pole feet first, carrying a bar rel of' pork in his teeth—thatis a Zouavo. A fellow who can jump seventeen feet four inches high without a spring board ; who can tie his legs in double bow knot round his nook without previously 'soflening his"shin bones in . a sperni both ; who can walk Blondin's tight rope with his stomach outside of nine brandy, Oooktails,a suit of chain armor outside his stout aoh, and a stiff northern gale outside of that: who cat'take n, five shooting, revolver in each hand and knook the spots off the ten of dia monds at eighty paces, turning summeriaults', all the time and firing every shot in. the air— that is a Zoltan Ddesticka," in the Mercury. . _ . . , .

The random sentiment of the Poet, has been more than realized; for whereverthe English language is spoken, and as long as the human heart beats 'responsive to the joys of love, op the beauties of nature, the 25th of January, will be hailed by every lover of Scottish song. as the birth-day of • n Thu simple bard, rough at the rustle plough, Learn, lug his tuneful trade at every lough:" whose poetic genius scattered gems' of richest fancy, over the rougher scones of Scottish, life; and gave immortality to the " banks and braes" and running streams of his own classic land. Robert Burns was born on the 20th of Janu ary 1759, on the banks ofthelelloon, near the ruined walls of ', Kirk Alloway," the scene of .Tam O'Shanter's midnight ride. His tender ness, pathos and droll humor; his faults and misfortunes ; his conscious Hilly and debase ment,' culminating in premature death, have' surrounded his 'character with a melancholy interest ; yeL h stands before us, " A'lll,A for a' that," individualized in his writings, for honest Man liness and sturdy independence. Burns was a true pact of nature, - and car ries the heart with him, whether in a wail' of sorrow for his - "llighland Mary," the glowing fervor of the "Lass of Ballochmyle," the, gra phic-picture of peasant life in the °Cottar's Sat urday Night," or the inimitable humor of "Death and Beeler Hornbook."

BETILLEHEAL—On our first page will be found, a brief sketch of the birauplace of our Saviour, distinguished as Bethleheln: Ephrath, or Ephrata'', signifying "House qf Bread." Two of the original -Moravian set ti vents in Pennsylvania, are known as ethl chew :at . td Ephrata. Bothlehem, one o the most picturesque villages in the _State, is situated on the banks. of the • LehiA, and , was settled about 1740. In the early hiStory .of the, town, so exclusive were the Moravians, in ,their intercourse with the world at large that they refused to sell lots to any one out side of the,Brothe'rhood, and even oppose( the location of public roads within their boundaries.' But, 'the exceeding beauty of e locntion, the richness of the fioih and the quiet, peaceful nature of the inhabitants,- of. fered strong inducements to others to settle there ; so that in time, the restrictions were evaded, and Bethlehem became a Mixed pop. ulation. Still it possesses many feature's dif. feretit from other Pennsylvania towns. The quaint old buildings, with their high pitched roofs, containing double tiers of dormer win• dows, and the massive walls, still further strengthened by heavy stone buttresses, look, after a century has passed over them, tis it they : ,could bid defiance to storms, for cenut• ries tO\come: The "Old Chiweb," the "Sis ter's Ilmisc„" And - buildings, wild Tong stand as owittTnents of the .piety and indus• try of thisjvple, who have so well obeyed the Divine _command, ." Go ye •into all the world/and ietteh'xii'y Gospel to every crea• ture." * The cemetery ,at Bethlehem has also a peculiar interest. It contains several acres, laid out with broad walks, lined with shade treees ; but, there are neither family burial lots, towering mariaments, nor costly tombs. Ono compartment is appropriated to men, another to women, and a third to children, where they are placed, side by side, without regard to family ties, to wealth or station ; each grvite marked by a small marble slab, uniform In . size, containing the name and age of the deceased. 'ln the early. formation of the settlement, several Indians were converted to the Mora* vial': faith, and were baptized; from the in' scription& on .the graves of those who were' buried there, wo found that most of them were of the Mohican tribe, among whom, we were told, were to be found the remains of the original, of one of Cooper'sl l ndian char. acters. On account of the reference given, we copied the following inscription from one of the Indian graves: "ISAAC OTAPA WANAMAN OF SIIECOMECO A WAMPANOS a INDIAN . • BAP. a. 1742 - • IN OLEY died Aug. 2, 1746.

Nonker, who is a Betel keeper, with liquors to order. In the Spring'of 1860, Dr. Cox, of Ohio, somewhat celebrated for his exam inations anAleetures, in regard to adulterated liquors, visited Carlisle, sod was employed by Mr No nl:er to test the quality of certain liquors al leged to have been purchased from Elliott & Co. 'Thu analyse; of these liquors, as published by Dr. Cox, show that (bey were adulterated with copper, zinc, sulphuric acid, 'leper &c. On this ground, Mr. Nonker refused to pay the bill of Elliott & Co , and suit was brought to recovqr. The defendant offered in evidence the deposition of Dr. Cox, giving the result of his examinations' to show; that the liquors weredna pure as reProsented, while the plain tiffs producedlestimony, to show by practical chemists, that the tests used by Dr. Cox, wore not reliable.

Rich furs were foie many ages, used - as gifts from one prince to iiiiollier--nobody less than a prince being allowed to wear them'. The sumptuary laws which (men existed with regard to the wearing of furs, were at once numerous and stringent. In the days of Henry VII it was two years imprisonment for any person below a baronet to wear a piece of ermine "as large as your, hand." Those, absurd laws, however, have all been repealed, so that a person at the pre sent limo can go his length in furs—the only limit to his taste, being his podket-book and creditors." - " THERE IS ;loran lady living" but what at some period of her life needs just auch-"a med icine" as “Duponco's Golden Pills," advertisJ ed in another column.
