It U not a little gratifying to know, that
the Democratic -party ii at lcrjgtli effectually
rid of the Traitors, Hickman of Chester and
Schwartz of Berks. They both when they
took their scats in Congress at the commence
ment of the present session, professed to be j
democrats, and many of their friends asserted
-that they would assist in electing a Democrat
ic Speaker. They have however been enga
ged for nearly two weeks in voting for a Black
Republican for that office. Schwartz told the
Democracy of Bw-rks county, when solicting
their votes, that hejwas a democrat and a
friend of Mr Buchanan. If he had not done
go ho would not have been elected. But
Forney Sc Co , were the nun who urged him
to run as a candidate, and wo arc not there
fore at all surprised at his treacherous course
in" Congress. Hickman was the right loicer
of John W.Forney in his treasonable efforts
during the last campaigu, to bring about the j
defeat of the Dcmoctic State Ticket, bj get
tin p up a bogus State Convention. Since
then, of course no sensible man regarded him
as a democrat, although he called himself
one. Forney has been at Washington du
ring the session, electioneering for Sherman
the Black Republican candidate for Speaker.
We are glad that the trio of . political vaga
bonds aud traitors, Hickman, Schwartz and
Forney have at length gone over to the oppo
sition body and breeches. We wish our Re
publican friends much joy of their new prose
lytes, and sincerely hope they may succeed in
injuring them as much as they did the Dein
cratic party, while they professed to belong
to it. By the way, do certain democrats iu
Ebensburg still regard the Press as an ortho
dox exponent of tho principles of Democracy.
If they do, they should not forget to renew
their subscriptions on the first of January.

Tlie Presidency.
The Johnstown Echo has now floating at
its mast head, the name of Hon. John C
Breckenridge of Kentucky, as its first choice
for the Presidency uext year. The Democ
racy cannot boast at present of an abler or
more conservative Statesman than Mr Brcck
cu ridge. In point of availability too, he prob
ably has no superior among the many able
Statesmen whose names have been mentioned
in connection with the Charleston nomination
If nominated we entertain no doubt of his
triumphant election. As Chief Magistrate of
the Republic, he would doubtless administer
tho Government ia a manner that would re
dound to the happiness and prosperity of the
whole country, and prove himself . eminently
worthy to wear the mantlo of James Buchan
an. We are not however disposed at pres
ent, to urge or in'it on the claims of any
particular aspirant. Give us an able and pa
triotic Democratic Statesman for cur leader
next year, aud wj are ready to support him
zealously and cheerfully. Any man but a
demagogue willing to sell his party and unite
with Black Republicans, for the purpose of
carrying eut his schemes for promoting his
personal success aud greatness.
Jt3T Nearly all of our cotemporarics in this

exception to the general rule, we confess that
these days of joyousness. have exerted their
influence over us, and we do not feel in a
humor for either clipping or writing edito
rial. Our readers however, will, we thick,
find several articles in our columns this week
worth perusing But if they should'nt, as
they are now doubtless in 8 very good humor,
we are certain they wont grumble.

We regret to announce the death of Hon.
Lynn 1'oyd. He diel at Lis residence in
Kentucky, on the 18th inst., after a lingering
and painful i'.lues-s. He was bora in Tennes
see iu the year 1800, and served for several
vcars in the Legislature of that State lie af-
e
terwards emigrated to Kentucky, & continued
to retide in that State up to the time of his
death He was elected a member of Con
gress in 1835, and with the exception of the
Sessions of 1837-8. be was a member of that
body up to 185C. He was its speaker dur
ing bis list term, and his ability and impar
tiality as a presiding officer, woa the com
mendation of all parties. Last fall the De
mocracy of Kentucky elected him to the
responsible office of Lieutenant Governor of
the State. He was a sincere democrat, and
the unwavering frL-ud of Mr. Buchanan since
his administration commenced. His abilities
as & statesman were more solid thau brilliant,
and his Fpeeches were, always addressed to
the calm unbiassed judgement of his hearers,
aud not to their imaginations, their passious
or their prtjulices. He did not belong to
that class of men, who are always liable to be
carried away by every wind of political doc
trine. Firmly believing that the Democratic
party was right, he faithfully and consistent
ly during his political career, upheld its
measures and men. lie will long be remem
bered as one of the purest statesmen of his
day.

On Monday the concert of the "Eistedd

sons to town. Two Choirs from Johnstown
were in attendance. A company of about
t!0 boys amused themselves during the day, by
pelting with snow-balls every' unfortunate
specimen of the masculine gender, that pass
ed alon the street. By judiciously dodging
around the corner whenever danger threaten
ed, we managed to escape uninjured. Noon
of the Mountaineer was not equally fortunate.
Encountering p company of skirmishers in the
morning, he at once set himself in battle ar

battle raged fiercely for sometime, but our
neighbor was at length compelled to '"beata

ble bar-room of the Mountain House. Be
tween eight aud nine o'clock iu the eveuiug,
two belligerant individuals from the country,
managed to get up a free fight in the Diiuond.
They were rewarded for their humane exer
tions, with four very black eyes, and two
very Moody ncscs. Served them light. Prob
ably the next time they come to town, they
will know how to behave themselves.

Letter from Ex-l'rcsident Pierce.
Ex-President Pierce, in reply to an invi
tation extended him to be present at the re
cent Union meeting at Boston, sent a letter,
dated Concord N. II , December 7th, from
which we take the two concluding para
graphs: "I deny, in the name of all that is most
sacred and precious in our inheritance, that
there iu an element of "irrepressible conflict"
between the Southern and Northern members
of this Confederation. The doctrine, is as un
sound and untrue as it is fearful It is con
tradicted by the unbroken experience of the
first fifty years of our history. It would have
been the price of the loss of reputation for
life to have uttered it while the men who
fought the battles of the Revolution, and
framed the Constitution, were yet alive. No!
It has not come, and with the blessings of
God upon the exertions of good and patriotic
men, it will never be nearer.
- "I have faith in the power of your efforts,

who appreciate the blessings which the Con
stitution has conferred upon them, and who,
come what may, intend, on their native soil
and with their children around them, to claim
its protection and uphold its authority. I
faith, above all, that the -continued favor of

MR. LOt'EJOY'S ADDRESS.
JTational Uottl, Washington. D. C ,
Xorcmher 25A 1859. j
To Tlie People of Xew England.
FrientLs and Cvuntrgmcn; Sojourning for
a few days in this capital of the nation. I wit
nesscd on the morning of the last Sabbath a
scene which ought to make us all pause for
reflection Gov. Wife passed through this
city with five hundred men, armed for war;
not for war as of old against the scalping and
skulking savage; not to repel the invasion of
a Xorcign
foe; but for a civil war. It was a
ctate arming to
rerel an invasion from its
sister State s from whom it ought to expect
kindly salutations and the most friendly re
lations. These relations have now reached a
crisis where the whole tone and ac'ion of the
North must bo changed, or a separation of the
States is inevitable. The South is indeed ex
cited, as well as it may be, but it is also fixed
and determined. One side or the other must
recede, or a collision, a civil war, streams of
blood and widespread desolation must follow.
Shall the work, the lives, the sacrifices of our
fathers ail have been in vain? Look over
th;3 goodly city from one of its many lofty
towers. Survey its broad streets, the maoy
homes of happy families from all parts of the
land; look upon the solid grandeur of the
Capitol, the majestic public buildings, all im
posing and still progressive, showing that a
mighty nation are here laying the foundations
of their greatness. Abroad, and in every di
rection, the rail roads, the rivers, the cities,
the fruitful valley and the teeming prairie,
give evidence, such as the world never saw,
of fruit of two hundred years of well directed
enterprise. See the thriving happy millions
that welcome the morning at the shores of the
Atlantic, and keep pace with the sun, till his
rays fade away in the western ocean. Is this
inheritance nothing? shall it be lost in a day?
Let the wonderful, harmonious machinery of
the Union, the work of our fathers and of
kind Providence let it once be crushed,
and no device, nor art, nor wisdom of man
can ever restore it to life and action again.
Let the sword once be heard clashing here
before the statute of Washington, and our
glory ha ovparted. It needs no prophet's
voice to toretel taat of these goodly buildings
not one stone shall be left upon another that
shall not be throwu down.
The genus of this spot will cry from the air
and from the earth; Call me no more Wash
ington, but write Ichabod upon these desert
ed streets, and Nint-vah and Babylon upon
these columns in ruiu." We shall hasten to
an untimely end. Now, on whom will this
terrible guilt rest? Before Heaven, and from
the deepest convictions of my soul, I say on
the North and first and chiefly on the State
of Massachusetts. She will have tha double
fame of having rocked the cradle and built
the tomb of a great nation. The Madaan
tragady of Euripides will be more than eclips
ed by the hand of a State that slaughters a
nation. You will say that Virginia and the
South are unduly excited that no t-uch cris
is impends. I tell you, honest men and true
there is pcrU near, the abyss is opening be
fore us. I cannot see but Virginia is fully
justified in preparing for a conflict. Look at
the facts: A body of men, insignificant in
numbers, iuvade that State, furnished, armed
and equiped with a thousand spears to be put
into the bands of a servile race, to cut the
throats of men, women, and children; for this
they always do when they rise against their
masters; and, what is the most appalling fact
of all, those blades were manufactured and
sharpened in New England, and paid for, at
least in part, Ly contribut ions taken vp in the
churches. In that very Tremont Temple in
Boston, where so recent of the piety of the
Old South Church (the junior pastor) embra
ced on the same platform the blasphemy of
Ralph Waldo Emerson in that church a
year ago lat May, John Brown received a
contribution from the hands of Christian men
for the purpese of murder and bloodshed, ua
der the thin veil of "Kansas operations."
Now, they did not know that he wu!d go to
Virginia, hut they did know that he was en
gaged in murder and robbery in Kansas; and
it is no worse io murder meu in oce place
than ia another. Then the aiding? abetting,
and approbation after the fact, give fearful
iDsigniScance to the contribution which pro
ceded it. The Old South Church ia Bjstcn
under its wise and devout senior pastor, has
been the central point of conservatism on the
subject of slavery in New Eagland: and now
its junior pastor joins hands with the most bit
ter revilers of the church anl the nation, in
order to glorify a murderer, siarply because
he commits murder upon the soil of Virginia
in the name of freedom. This same John
Brown dragged five men, the heads of fami
lies, from their beds and murdered them, as
he would dogs, by the wayside; and yet one
speaker says tbere are a million hearts with
John Brown to-day. Why should not the
South be exeitcd? Why not arm and be
ready for a portion of this million of ready in
vaders? Then, it is notorious that many of
the leading papers of the North have but a
word or two of mawkish condemnation for the
folly of John Brown, while they print whole
columns of sneers and scarcasms for Virginia
and the South. This the North commit two
great mistake.-; we meddle when we ought not
to and we meddle to the injury of all parties
the slaves, of the South anl the North, some'
of you will remember that seven years ago I
told you some very plaiu and wholsome truths
on another subject, which yon repaid in abuse
and condemnation; bnt time, that infalible
crucible, has revealed it. I told you thee
you were sowing seeds for a plentiful harvest
of lying and hypocrisy, and now the State of
Massachusetts is a laughing stock to the
whole ration for having perpetrated, under
her own name, and with the seal of the Statu
upon them, the meanest and most cold-blooded
frauds ever put upon record They have
put poisoned drugs into the cup of the weak,
the sick, the dying, and then divided the ex
cessive profits among potential political parti
sans The dark ages were stamped with the
infamous sale of indnlgencies; but deadly
drugs, instead of a wholesome beverage, with
a high tariff for tho exchange of the pure
juice of grape for nightshade and hellebore
this dose was never administered by one hu-
'ii'fi'i-nifM
man being to another till it was done by the
Christian hand of Massachusetts, an-1 io or
der to complete a greU moral rckra;. If

of these universal reform opeu and manifest
when one of them has cnlmica'e! in a Burn
bam, and the other iu Brown. One can
hardly tell which is the mere guilty of the
two; probably Burnbam has killed tLc most
persons and in a sly undcrhaud mauner
citing no chance for self defence. Would
it not be well to glorify Burnhain

Back, again to the point. We have ro
business with the subject of slavery. 1 1 is out
of our border beyend c ur jurisdiction i nd
the States that have it are ibe only proper
authority Iu deal with ii. There is where the
fathers placed it, and there the sons should
leavo it.
Whenever the laws of the nigral or pbisi

ensues. The prostration of majestic trees in
the forest does not more surely mark the path
of the tornado tban mortal prostration marks
the footsteps of abolitionists in tli6 North.

And yet, of all the long line of sages that

from the Apostle Jefferson to the Patriarch
Buchanan which of them havo not New

plunged down the fatal precipice of civil war?

Great Ship Company, in view of their em
barrassment relative to the Great Eastern,
called a meeting of the shareholders for the
15th of December, but they subsequently is
sued a notice .of their intention to postpone
the explanations they intended to make for a
month. Great dissatisfaction existed among1
the shareholders at this proceeding, and it
was expected that notwithstanding the action
of the Directors, a full meeting would be held
on the day first named. It is said the Di
rectors had resolved to borrow money on th
security of the ship.

without a subsidy, and which suffers great
hardships in the absence of those profits and
facilities which a mail grant confers.
