Hickman challenges his most bitter enemies
to prove, that be ha3 ever acted the political
hypocrite." Now we, although extremely
eorry'to differ' with our amiable neighbor, as
sert and wo will trove, thatMncert "eistl854t
Hickman's political escutcheon has not been
ntariiitbed, and we will further prove, that
treason and treachery to democratic princi
. pics and usages, have for years been his po
litical stock in trade.
In 1S54 Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, intro
duced the Kaccas and Nebraska bill into
the U. S. Senate. It passed both Houses of
Congress after a formidable opposition. John
- Hickman, then as now a member of the Hcuse
f Representatives opposed and voted against
it. He opposed it because it repealed the
Missouri compromise, and embodied tbe doc-
txise of popular Sove reignty. Ha made com
mon cause with the Abolitionists during that
. memorable struggle, and labored zealously to
defeat the bill. He then, clearly opposed the
Democratic Party, and acted wi'Ji its enemies
and yet our neighbor contends that by o do
ing he did not tarnish his political escutcheon.
Our neighbor professes to regard the doctrine
of popular sovereignty as the cardinal doctrine
of the Democratic Party, and yet he cannot
?a anything wrong in John Hickman's oppo
aing it. when it was struggling for existence
In 1S54. What gross inconsistency! In
1S57 Mr. Hickman again arrayed himself
beneath "the flag of tbe enemy, and .deserted
the party to which he professed to belong.
During that entire session, tbe Black Repub-
' lie an members were his confidential friends
and companions, and bis eulogists, such men
' as John W. Forney. At the close of the ses
eion the entire Black Republican Party were
. his admirers. And yetour neighbor contends
that his political escutcheon was still without
a stain and that he was a good democrat
In the tpring of last year, he attended a State
Convention composed of men" who called tbem
selves democrats, and was the great orator of
the occabion. Although he declared that he
was a democrat, he fearlessly promulgated
Black Republican doctrines in the speech
which he delivered, and joined in recommend
: iog the defeat of the Demopratic State Ticket
at the'approaching election. Was all this
-right neighbor, was there no treachery, no
byjocrify in Mr. Hickmacs declaring himself
a democrat, while he was opposing the Dem
eeratie Party and its nominees?
Our neighbor asserts that at the Congress-
ina! election of IS5S, Hickman was not elect
ed as a democrat. 116 then styled himself an
atti-Lecoropton or Douglas democrat, and
. was elected as such. And yet, during the
present Congress, he has been steadily, faith
fully and consistently acting with tbe Black
Republicans.' delivering Black Republican
. . speeches and - voting for a Black .Republican
fyr Speaker, and yet he is impudent enough
to still call himself a democrat. He has
not during the Session acted with the an
,' ti-Lccompton members, yet he claims to be
one of them' Where in tbe history of our
rontry, can be found a more perfcet 'speci
men of political treachery and hypocrisy than
ls dieolosed in'the politioal career of this
man Hickman ? Let ca briefly recapitulate
the facta we have already r tated: In 1854, al

which" recommends a servile insurrection in
the South and the forcible abolition of tbe in
stitution of slavery. The Harper's Ferry in
surrection and the sympathy everywhere man
ifested among the Black Republicans for the
fate of old $ John Brown bad produced the
most intense excitement, and they felt that
something must be done to save" the Union.
They felt that the Union could not survive
the election of the endorser of Helper's trea
son. They therefore determined to cast their
votes for a national man who was not a dem
octat, in the hope that national men of all
parties would rally to his support. What
else could they do as patriots and friends of the
Lnion' under the circumstances. Mr. Bo
cock the democratic nominee for Speaker ap
proved of their course, and our neighbor will
please remember that nearly all the anti-Le
compton .democrats joined in the vote. Do
you really think, Mr Editor, it was the dnty
of the democratic members to set with folded
arms, and look calmnly on. while the Samp
son of Black Republicanism was shaking the
pillars of the .Republic to their very founda
tions ? Was it not their sworn duty to sup
port the 'Constitution, and discharge their
duties faithfully ? was it uot their duty if pos
sible to prevent the land from being drenched
in fraternal blood ? We think so, and we
therefore honor, them for the'r course. Thev
knew well that tbe Black Republican party
was the child of Know Nothingism; they
knew that nearly all the Black Republican
members before them were Know Nothings,
that' Know iNothingiam originated in the
North, and received its death blow in Virgin
ia, a Southern State, whose soil bad just been
invaded through the instigation of these same
Northern Know Nothings, under a npn
name. They knew that it was in the North,
and net in the South that churches were burn
ed and pillaged, ;and tbeknew that nearly
every man who is now a Black Republican
was a Know Nothing m 1855. They there
fore determined to endeavor to kill Sam and
Sambo at one blow.and in this tbey would'have
succeeded, but lor a tew such traitors as John
Hickman.
Our neighbor very kindly informs us that
we are one of those who would be proscribed
by Know Nothfqgifni , if it principles should
ever be carried out m the Administration o
the Government: That is all very true, but
we do not entertain any apprehensions on that
score from the defunct carcass of Sam, Good
neighbor, you will pardon us for flaying, that
if you are not more steadfast ia your religious
than you are in your political principles,
your religion would have little to hope from
you in the hour of persecution, if it should
kevcr come; you would then judging by your
poimcai career,. maKe common cause with its
euemies, and like a second Vicar of Bray, be
anything and everything, to suit the times.

'Simon Sauf-.Yio-IVair The recent
defeat of the Hon. Henry D Moore for State
Treasurer has caused a serious defection
among the Republican delegates from this
city, who had been held to be the friends of
the Hon. A. G Curtm for tiovernor. Cur
tin was charged with treachery. He was not
on band at Harrisburg to help Moore, as he
promised to be; and tbe denunciations, loud
aod bitter, which have foilowe-1 among tbe
friends of the litter, have caused no little
trepidation, in view of tho near approach of
the nominating Convention. Yesterday the
Hon. Simon Cameron and Col. Curtis reached
the city in company ,on a sp-ccial vuitto Moo.e
and his friends, with a view to patch tbe
breach to say "wig-wag" for Andy, as Si
mon has before sail wig-wag" for Dave and
John. Wc shall see how th- friends of the
dead Treasurer will receive the visit. Many
of them blame Simon much more for their
defeat than Curtin's apath. Bat he is an
adept with the little joker, as well as in wig
waggery. Now you ice it. David Taggart;

perfect union." that "ireneral welfare." and
that "dome stic tranquility" that the constitu
tion of the United States was intended to pro
mote and secure. Such a triumph would
greatly restore the old harmony and awaken
again the old sentiments; and it is the last
hope of those who, like myself, desire to see
the Union perpetuated. Lousianna does not
desire to see these States severed from their
present political connections.
Before the great Victoria bridgG at
Montreal was accepted of the contractors, it
was put to the severetest of a loaded train
weighing the enormous load of one ton to the
square foot, which it was -difficult for three
powerful locomotives to drag along. Y bile
in tbe hrst tube only, tbe tit flection or that
tube was seven eights of an inch, the adjoin
ing empty tube being lifted in the middle
three-eights. I he load being placea ball
over both tubes, the deflect ion was the same
in eaoh three fourths of an inch; and when
run wholly upon tbe second tube, the result
was the revet se of that in tbe first. The final
test was the lone central span (330 feet,)
where the deflection was only one inch abd
three eights. In no instance was the deflec
tion greater than five eights what i; was ex
pectcd.
