of their own people.
In expressing briefly my views upon an
important subject, which has recently agi
tated the nation to almost a fearful degree,
I am moved by no other impulse than a
most earnest desire for the perpetuation of
that Union, which has made us what we
are,—showering upon us blessings, and
conferring a power and influence which
our fathers could hardly have anticipated,
even with their most sanguine hopes direc
ted to a far off future. Tho sentiments I
now announce were not unknown before the
expression of that voice which called me
here. My own position upon this subject
was clear and unequivocal, upoi the re
cord of my words and my acts, and it is
only recurred to at this time because si
lence might, perhaps, be misconstrued.—
With the Union ray best earthly hopes
are entwined. Without it, what. are
we, individually or collectively ? What
becomes of the noblest field ever opened
for the advancement of our race, in reli
gion, in government, in the arts, and in all
that dignifies and adorns mankind ? From
that radiant constellation, which both illu
mines our own way and points out to strug
gling nations their course, let but a single
star be lost, and if there be not utter
darkness, the lustre of the whole is dim
med. Do my countrymen need any assur
ance that such a catastrophe is not to over
take them, while I possess the power to
stay it? It is with me an earnest and vital
belief, that as the Union has been the
source, under Providence, of our prosperi- 1
ty to this time, so it is the surest pledge of
a continuance of the blessings we have en
joyed, and which we are sacredly bound to
transmit undiminished to our children.—
The field of calm and free discussion in our
country is opened, and will always be so,
but it never has been and never can be
traversed for good in a spirit of sectionalism
and uncharitableness. The founders of
the Republic dealt with things as they
were presented to them, in a spirit of self
sacrificing patriotism, and, as time has
proved, with a comprehensive wisdom,
wich will always be safe for us to consult.
Every measure, tending to strengthen the
fraternal feelings of all the members of
our Union, has had my heartfelt approba
tion. To every theory of society or
of government, whether the offspring of
feverish ambition or of morbid enthusiasm,
calculated to dissolve the bonds of law
and affection which unite us, I shall inter
pose a ready and stern resistance. I be- i
lieve that involuntary servitude, as it exists
in different States of this confederacy, is
recognized by the Constitution. I believe
that it stands like any other admitted right,
and that the States where it exists are enti
tled to ef f icient remedies to enforce the
constitutional provisons. I hold that the
laws of 1850, commonly called the ~comp
romise measures," aro strictly constitu
tional, and to be unhesitatingly carried in
to effect. I believe that the constituted
authorities of this Republic aro bound to
regard the rights of the South in this re
spect, as they would view any other legal
and constitutional right, and that the laws
to enforce them should be respected and
obeyed, not with a reluctance encouraged
by abstract opinions as to their propriety
in a different state of society, but cheer
fully, and according to the decisions of the
tribunal to which their exposition belongs.
Such have been, and are, my convictions,
and upon them I shall act. I fervently
hope that the question is at rest, and that
sectional, or ambitious, or fanatical excite
ment may not again threaten the durability
of our institutions, or obscure the light of
our prosperity.
But let not the foundation of our hope
rest upon man's wisdom. It will not bo
sufficient that sectional prejudices find no
place in the- public deliberations. It will
not be sufficient that the rash.counsels of
human passion aro rejected. It must be
felt, that there is no national security but
in the nation's humble acknowledged de
pendence upon God and his overruling
providence.
We have been carried in ssfety through
a perilous crisis. 'Wise counsels, like those
which gave us the Constitution, prevailed
to uphold it. Let the period be remem
bered as an admonition, and not as an en
couragement, in any section of the Union,
to make experiments where experiments
are fraught with such fearful hazard. Let
it be impressed upon all hearts, that beau
tiful as our fabric is, no earthly power or
wisdom could ever re-unite its broken frag
ments. Standing as Ido almost within
view of the green slopes of Monti Cello, and,
as it were, within reach of the tomb of
Washington, with all the cherished memo
ries of the past gathering around me, like
so many eloquent voices of exhortation
from Heaven, I can express no bettor hope
for my country, .than .that the kind Provi
donee, which smiled upon our fathers,may
enable their children to preserve the bles
sings they have inherited.

Surveyor General.
We notice 'a communication in the Har
risburg Telegraph recommending, as an
available candidate , for Surveyor General,
our present Representative, Col. S. S.
WHARTON, and as especially calculated
for the• place. It says that his char
acter and conduct are highly appreciated
by all who know him. Why can not Old
Huntingdon be honored with a candidate'!
She eminently deserves it.
The New Administration.
In our columns of to-day will be found
the Inaugural Address of President Pierce, 1 .
and the names of his Cabinet Officers.
The first will be read with interest, by
all our readers, as it is almost the only pub
lic act of our present President, which has
attracted attention; and for another reason
equally operative—namely, everybody is
anxious to see how he promises to do.
The literary character of the paper is not
of such surpassing beauty or strength, as
to excite especial wonder in the mind of any
reader. It is evidently labored no little;
and barthonnd with an effort, to make the
style a little striking; of the character of
some of the actors of our day—an atti
tudinizing style. The grouping of the
thoughts, or words, perhaps more proper
ly speaking, is marked by the same stiff
effort at artistic minimizing, Still, as a
whole, the paper is not a bad one: parts of
it would be eloquent in a fourth of July
oration, and other portions of it would be
effective on the stump; and as a whole, it
promises pretty well for President Pierce.
He will "not be controlled by timid fore
bodings of the evils of expansion"—and he
does not disguise the fact, "that our atti
tude, as a nation, renders the acquisition
of certain possessions," "eminently impor
tant," which, of course, means that if
"Young America," with her flibustiers,
can make noise enough to be attractive,
that then he would not object to show her
Catholic Majesty, that as we need Cuba,
and are more powerful than Spain, we will
take it." This is, however, a remark which
is made—aside; for the. general tenor of the
ad'd'ress is old fogyish.
On the subject of the offices, he gives his
partisans to understand, that he does not
recognize that they have any claims for of
fice—and at the same time, says that it is
not reasonable that persons under the in
fluence of political hostility, should be re
tained. Thus he signifies his determina
tion to sweep out the present incumbents,
and appoint men, who he thiiiks, have no
claims for office. Of courser,. many patri
ots of that party aro doomed to disappoint
ment..
The Cabinet appointments are cloarlY
made upon this principle—severab of Om
are unknown as Statesrothi— and the mem
ber from this State ; James Campbell, was
by the people of his own State, and his own
party, two years ago, declared as having
no claim for office. Why ho, and the dis
unionist, Davis, were appointed, it is now
useless to speculate. We will wait a few
weeks, or months, to see how they work
together.
VAR)! JOURNAL.—The March number
of this popular work is on our table. Ex
cellent as it has always bcen,it is still im
proving in the extent, variety, and practi- 1
cal character of its editorials, contributions,
and selected articles. No farmer of or
dinary intelligence could fail to derive im
'llene° benefit from its regular and careful
perusal. It is a perfect storehouse of just
such information as our agriculturists nood,
to-dignify and adorn their noble calling,
to lessen their laboreornd increase' their
remuenrations• The Journal costs but one
Altar, the single copy; and only seventy
fine cents to clubs of twenty. No farmer
should be without it. In. this age of im
provement, wo can not conceive how any
one can do without it. We would as soon
think of maintaining a respectable rank as
a Teacher, without reading an educational
paper, as to conduct a farm successfully,
and pleasantly, without a standard Text
book on agriculture.
Legislative News.
On Monday of last week, our Solons as
sembled once more, after nearly a week of
play—and now they will go to work in
earnest,
A Preamble and Resolutions were sub
milted in the Senate, by Mr.Quiggle, which
are intended as a kind of Liquor Law for
this Session. After the ordinary amount
of Buncombe, it is resolved that the peo
ple may vote et the next October election
on the subject of the law, "for the law"
and "against the law"— and if For the
law has the most votes, then it is to be
considered a recommendation to the legis
luture to pass a prohibitory law. Thigh; a
cunning dodge -of the anti Liquor law men;
and if the friends or tire law are enticed in
to it. they will wake up, in a year or so
and find that they are several years fur
ther back than m ben'they started.• We
say to all, meet the question fairly.
The law closing the Itustof the 'U. S.
Bank has at last become a taw; and as we
understand, it pays into the State Treasu
ry $150,000.
. - •
We see too, that wo have'not kept up
with all the vetoes of our Governor. We
believe that three have already been found,
that we have lost sight of. It does not a
mount to much, now, however; for, a veto,
simply knocks the life out of some project,
which, shortly arsumes a more snakish
shape, and ultimately, creeps through the
two halls and the executive Chamber, and
the veto is forgot. On Tuesday, three were
considered in the House, one vetoing the
Penn's. Coal Co. ) —cne incorporating the
Lancaster Lebanon & Pine Grove rail road
Co.,—and one relating to land amociations.
We do not publish them, for veto messages
are too common now to merit a place in
any journal—the vetoes were all sustained.
Afton a long discussion the law provi
ding for the public printing has been pass
ed, and a section connected with it, for the
appointment of a Superintendent of the
printing, at a salary of $BOO. We could
not but smile at the talk of some of the
wise men at Harrisburg, on the subject of
the expense of Public printing. One man,
a Mr. Merriman, says "from actual exami
nation of the subject, he found that the
expense of the public Printing had actual
ly increased under the present system."—
This man would no doubt like to have peo
ple consider him a careful legistator—he
has examined—a few words will show his
wisdom. In 1843 the new law was passed;
and any justice of the peace can see the
size of the laws of that yearr—let him com
pare it with the volume of either of the
last three years. Now there are four vol
umes of journal each year, and nearly sim
ilar difference will be found in those four
volumes. The price' how paid is less than
one fifth what it was then ; so any man of
an ounce of sense can fell bow intelligent
has been the examination of this merry-man.
Perhaps, however, he knew better, if that
is so, there could be found more appropri
ate terms to express his conduct, but we
forbear. The law has passed, and merry
man and his friends, if they can count, will
learn that the expenses of printing will
double the first year, if it does not quadru
ple. Our member, Col. Wharton, sugges
ted that they might as well appoint a Super
intendant of the Legislature—this was a
good hit.

ted to the Senate the following as his Cabinet,

The Truth at Hand.
When we said, last week, "look out for them,"
we did not anticipate that we should so soon be
furnitrhed , with the facts, which would prove that
the cry lately raised about the frauds, in the mat
ter of the building the additions to the Capitol,
were
Our neighbor of the Globe had joined in the
hue-in-cry, unit doubtless, it will never occur to
him, that common honesty will demand, at his
hands, the truth, as given below, by Mr. Stanton,
the Chairman of the Committee on the Public
Buildings, and one of their own ports•. The letter,
is addressed to the Editors of the Union, (Wash
ington,) as they had fabricated their charge, and
which is quoted in the letter. Mr. Stanton, as an
honest man, could not remain silent, when such
means were resorted to, (even by his own parti
sans') to defame the character of the Architect,
who has charge of the work, Thomas U. Walter,
Esq , a gentleman, who has ever been es
teemed, of the highest integrity.
We should ttot have deemed it necessary to till
our columns with this letter, had not the charge,
in general terms, been made is the columns of
their paper in this county ; and now we commend
it to the careful perusal of our readers, that they
may understand what is the true estimate to put
upon these charges which are made, in such
wholesale terms, against the Whig Administra
tion
WASHINGTON CITY, D.' C., Feb. 18, 185-8,
To the Editor of the Union:
Allow me to say a few words in relation
to your article on the subject of frauds con•
neeted with the Capitol enlargement. I
information,
yoursure, sir, that upon better
your sense of justice will prompt you to
correct the errors into which you have fall
en, especially when those errors, unex
plained, are calculated to do gross and
manifest wrong to the character and stand
ing of highly honorable gentlemen. You
say: _ _
The Dikienoy bill brought those
frauds before the Senate. That bill ap
propriates the sum of $400,000, to meet
deficiencies in the fund provided for the
enlargement, although it appears that
when the last appropriation of half a mil
lion was made it was intended that no de
ficiency should be permitted to occur, for
it was believed- that the expenditure was
limited strictly to the sum-appropriated.—
A deficiency of tour hundred thousand in an
expenditure limited to five hundred thou
sand dollars—an increase of four-fifths
over estimates—is a characteristic achieve
ment of big administration. Whether it
springs from inefficiency or corruption, or
both the effect on the treasury is the
same."
Now, sir, it will suffice to say, in reply
to this paragraph of your article, that at
tho beginning of the last session of Con
gress, December, 1853, the Secretary of
the Interior and the architect of the exten
sion sent to Congress their estimates of the
amount of money requited•to carry on the
work until the end of. the present fiscal
year, ;Tune 30, 1853—a period of more
than a year and a half. The amount ask
ed for was $1,000,000, as will be seen by
the report. The-subject was referred to
the Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, of which I was, and am the chair
man.
In oonsequenoe of the hosti:ity which
then existed against the work; and the ef
forts made in some quarters to defeat it,
I thought an appropriation of a half mil
lion could be carried easier than the amount
estimated for; and accordingly, with the
assent of the committee, I offered a reso
lution in the House making appropriation
of that sum only. This carried; and in
stead of a million, which was necessary,
there was appropriated only one-half the
sum needed to keep the work in progress
until the expiration of the present fiscal
year. The object for which the four hun
dred thousand dollars is now asked is to
keep the work in opperation until the last
of next June. The sum heretofore appro
priated is fully exhausted in the purchase
of materials and the employment of labor.
No debts of any importance are due, eith
er for work, material, or other objects.—
You will see, therefore, that the deficiency
to which you refer is not ~ t t deficiency of
four hundred thousand in an expenditure
of five hundred thousand dollars—an in
crease of four•fifths over the estimates,"
as you allege; and that the inference you
draw therefrom to the prejudice of those
having the management of the funds is
unjust. If any one is to blame because of
the insufficiency of the appropriation to
continue the work until the expiration of
the fiscal year, it is I, who failed to ask
for the full amount estimated for the need
ed.
You also refer to the charge made in the
Senate, and which is said to rest upon the
testimony of the Commissioners of Public
Buildings, in regard to frauds connected
with the furnishing of marble, and say
that "by this means it is estimate that six
ty-five thcusand dollars have been lost to
the Government." My official position as
chairman of the committee of the House,
having jurisdiction of the subject, has in
duced me to inquire into this alleged enor
mity, and having examined the returns of
marble delivered, and the payments made
to the present day, lam prepared to state
that the whole amount paid for marble de
livered up to this moment is only $62,244
51. Your ingenuity will, perhaps, enable
you to show how under this state of fact
the marble contractors have been enabled
fraudulently to pocket $65,000 over and
above the value of the article, I confess I
cannot, by any rule of arithmetic known to
me, work out such a problem. The con-
I tract affords no such room for so great a
“shave," as the marble is paid for, not ac
cording to such sizes of blocks as may be
delivered by the contractors, but accor
ding to the dimensions of each stone laid
down upon the plans before the contract
was made, and constituting part of the
same. The dimensions being thus deter
mined; if the contractors furnished larger
stones than those called for by the draw
ings,
they were not paid for the surplus,
which you will see is provided in the con
tract. The architect says that he kncws
of no stones for which the larger price was
paid having been broken up 10 make small
er ones, and the contractors for cutting
the marble assure me that nothing of the
kind has been done. The smaller stones,
at the low price, arc often cut up to make
up the small features of the work, but the
larger ones never. This, with every oth
er part of the work, is in the hands of a
sworn measurer, provided for by law, and
being independent of contractors. This
officer ascertains the quantity of work to
l be paid for, not by the sizes of the blocks
delivered, but by the dimensions provided
for in the plans and centraet.
My object is not to defend any man who
has been guilty of fraud in connexion with
the work. If there are such, let them be
exposed, and their dishonesty punished. I
simply desire to draw your attention to
the character of the testimony upon which
your sweeping charges rest, and ask if,
where it is susceptible of such easy cons
eradiation, it is just to presist in daily de
nunciations of men who have nbt yet been
heard in defence of themselves against that
testimony, and have never seen a line of
it, except as it has been shadowed forth
in the newspapers.
Very respectfully your obedient servant.
It. H. STANTON.

could for her. 'They took me into another room &
told me toy daughter must die,that I should make
her acquainted with her situation, that she might
prepare for death. They sai , ! she could not live
three days: perhaps not that many hours, and that
all the Doctors in the Universe could not save
her. When the Doctors left the house I thought
of Dr. J. W. Cooper's Indian vegetable Cough,

some; morgave it to my daughter. She com
