W At
Tiffanies and Taxes,
The Tiffany dim pitched their tent in this
town nearly t.iree years ago, and opened the
grand exhibition of the " Babes in the woods.'*
They have voted the abolition ticket regular
ly at every general and Borough election
without challenge as to qualification, until
the last election, when it was thought that
- they no* having paid a farthing of State or
County tax in our borough since their debut,
their right to vote was doubtful, their votes
were accordingly challenged. Both of these
puppets fairly danced with ra*e, and" "swore
like pirates,'" (conduct very unbecoming
Babes in the woods,) but their swearing did
not change the facts as recorded on the tax
I lists in the commissioners office. They now
say, and judging Iroui the p>sr, we presume
they would not hesitate to swear to it, that
thev have pud ever since being here, two
dollars tax to our one, and expect to contin
ue " right on paying," as they have done.—
Now ain't this generous in these Babes, to
open their show right" here, and pay such a
lot o' money into the coffers oi the State and
C uniy. The amount is supposed to be rath
er hefty, but we " don't see it." Who dues ~
Tiffany says we speak of his not
having paid any State or County tax for the
past three year*, in order to " bring our new
I House into public notice."—Logical reasoner
! thai TifTanv !
| The great tax payer says he " would de-
I scribe our huo-e, but for the fact that "an
! officer whose business it is, will S"on do it."
It this should happen, as he says it will—
and no d< übt will swear to it. will he tell
its where to find the man who tore down
in the night time, the sheriff's notices of sale
of his press and fixtures, the last lime it was
levied upon and advert st-d bt that officer ?

many of his abolition friends, some denying

drunk or crazy if he did write it, such re

Loyalty and Disloyalty
The Journal of Commerce soys:— We
have a remarkable state of affairs now exhib-
I iied in this country. That party spirit against
, which all the great ard good men of old time
! warned the citizens of the American Repub
lic, but whic.i humanity, perhaps, must fait
| into, has led u to an opening of a campaign
in politics in which one party without hesita
tion pronounces the other traitorous and re
bellious. This is the highest fever of party
spirit. It would lead at the next step to
batile for 'personal afety, since the party
thus denouncing its opponents must necessar
ily insist on the propriety of imprisoning and
executing the traitors, while the latur, if
they believe themselves loyal, must neces-ar
ily dsiiiand that their trial be held in due
form of law, and justify resistance to all at
tempts at executing them wihout regular
process, conviction, and sentence.
There stands the tact in Jhe history of
America, that two great portions were en
gaged in civil war, and one of those portions
being divided into two parties on the ques
tions growing out of the war, one party pro
nounces the other a rebellious and traitorous
party.
Bu* the next fact is more startling still.—
It appears at the election that the party thus
brande i as traitors and rebels are 111 large
majority in the three great Slates of Penn
sylvania, Ohio, and liuiiatiuu, and this leads
to th belief that they will be in vastly lar
ger majority in the Empire State. What,
then, becomes of the party which boasted its
loyalty and abused its opponents ? Can a
majority of the people of the United States
be treasonable in a mere matter of opinion as
to the policy which should control the war ?
Never was a more tremendous rebuke given
to the madness of Abolition radicilt-m than
it has received in the result of these elections.
Now, as heretofore, the Abolition leaders
have endeavored to ke> p back all the real is
sues out of sight, and per-uade the people
that tie question before them was a question
of loyalty or heason. But with that issue
offered by the radicals, the people huce chos
en the side which the politicking culled trea
son, and the terrible truth stares these.men
in the face'tbat they have been tilling Eu
rope and the South that a majority of the
men of the Northern States were actually m
sympathy with tr-asor! Fortunately the
world places no confidence in these Abolition
slanderers. They fiave deceived the nation
too often, and their character is known and
read of all mn.
What Abolitionism Means.
Hon. Mr. Stanton, ot Ohio, a prominent
Abolitionist, in a speech recently delivered in
New York, in referring to the dread felt in the
Southern States at the idea of a nerro insur
fiction, said .
It saps their courage in the wakefulness of
day ; it, disturbs their dreams in the watches
of the night. Nat Turner, with,seventy ne
groes at Ins heels, and John Brown, with sev
enteen in his ttain, struck more terror to the
-oul of \ irginia than have our hundreds <>t
thousands of dicip)ined a lute soldiers, led bv
Iteiiioiit and McClella'i. (Enlbu-iaettc ap
plause ) but says some timid conservative.
"Would you arm negroes, and turn them
loose ?" I reply, I would checkmate these
white rebel guerillas. (Loud and protracted
cheers. ) Many slaves are bold rulers. Oih
era are swift of foot. On lior-e ba;k and on
foot, with proper drill and judicious command
ers, I would place in the hands of choice hands
f intelligent and obedient negroes, in the ma
hgnont cotton States, recolrers. cat bines, and
sabres ( Applause.) Pointing them t<> the cat
tie on a thousand hills, and (he Wiciilz grain
in the intervening valleys, and taking care
that all loyal plantations shall he spared. 1
' won Id shout. " descendants of the home land
oj Towsaint V Duvet lure, in the name of Hod
and liberty, strike home!"' (inun no ui.t)s
applause, rein wed again a d again.)
White, ChrthtiMi lien, this ,s what Ab< li
iionism means ; this i- what the emancipt ti .n
proclamation of Abraham Lincoln is intended
to produce ! well may the New York Journal
oj Commerce exclaim, when commenting on
the atrocious sentiments of Hon. Mr.Stanton,
"Yes—this is the nineteenth cenniry, and
th s is New York—m the United States ol
America—and there are churches here, and
away in the sky you may see here and ll.eiv
a golden cross on a spire, by which you may
Kimw that the land calls itself Christian—all
this is irue beyond aMoubt ; and these words
were uttered by an honorable gentleman, and
three thousand brazen throats rent the air
w'lh their vvibl acc'ainaVions when he -;ti i it !
They were wnite men, in a but ding erected
and coiisecra'ed to art and science, lit wth
blazing gas, among civilized beings— not sava
ges in the counc'l tent of the N<>nh American
Indians, around the war fire. Three thou
sand men and some womt-n fancied th y heard
in the eh qui nee of the orator, the cry of ag
ony frmu an outraged daughter of some Smith
ern rebel, and made the moonlit streets of our
great city ring with their exultant 6hout> ol
delight I"
M ore than this, Alsdifronism niei.is that
if drunken, brutal, licentious negroes should,
in the lan uage ol Hon. Mr. Stanton, " Strike
home," and burning buddings and murdered
men, and outraged Women and roasted chil
dren, bo the fruits of that effort, then Mr.
Lincoln's proclamation says to the annv,
"Snr not at yon peril ; let murder and ar
son, and rape and rapine have full swing ;
these ' descendants of the Imine land of Tous
saint L'Oveiltire' are only making an effort
'in the name of God and liberty.'" But
thank God ! white Christian men put their
seal of disapprobation upon such revolting
doctrines al the recent elections, and let
those in power disregard that Verdict if they
dare,— Constitutional I n ion.

Re-istancc to the Draft in Schuylkill County
We learn from Schuylkill county that the
troubles growing out of the draft are assum
ing a formidable aspect. Over five thousand
miners and colliers have armed themselves, !
and are showing a disposition to make a des
j perate resistance. The Governor has been
| notified, and the aid of the authorities invok
ed. L appears that on Tuesday last a great
number of the colliers in Schuvlkill county'
% •
were stopped in their operations by a band j
of miners, who perambulated the road, and j
insisted upon all the employees joining them •
in riotous proceedings. The cause of the j
j outbieak is a determined resolution on the j
! part of the miners to resist the impending i
draft. It is estimated that at least three I
thousand linn are engaged in the affair, and !
the u.roar will, it is anticipated, extendi
thr ughout the whole tuiriiii T region. The
ri ters are nearly all armed with bludgeons j
of iron, swords, and every other variety of j
weapon.
The riot is said to have originated in Case |
township, Schuylkill county, where on Tues- :
day last so much resistance was offered to :
ihe enforcement of the draft that the Corn
unssioiier deemed it eXpe lient to postpone it '
until Monday next. The miners threaten to
offer the G ivernmeiit of the State either the
alternative of not drafting or of remaining en
11rely unsupplie 1 with c >al from this region.
Since the origin of the disturbance tbe re
ccints of coal in tbis city, from Sclnivlki.'l
county, at Richmond, have been about one
half less than usual, an 1 ytsterdav ab >ut one- j
' i
third only of the u-ual amount was received.
It will la-quire at least two regiments an 1
a batt try to quell tbe tumult wmoli was stiff
proceeding with increasing violence on Thurs
day. A railroad tram from an adjoining
county, transporting drafted men to II irria
burg, was stopped by a gang of tiie nun rs,
and the men within invited to -t.ep into t: e j
road, where they were assured all attempts :
to coerce thrui to se ve the Governor nt
would be unavailing. Many,.f them did so,and
are now in c mipany with t ie strikers.—Eu:.

wherewith he is so iarte'y end wed. Wo
b'g leave to siigjot that an w field for bit
restless benevolence of soul and cotnprehen
sivu philanthropy is opened in several of the
fiee Suites of the Wett, where the prejudice
a_-;.i i-t the African race is strong, is growing
stronger, and is niaiufc tingitseJl in a restrict
ive and exclusive legislation well deserving
the atlei.tiun of c nsi-teni anti-slaveiy Zeal.

the ne_'to from set ling up >u her soil, and also
f. no test if v iiig in -nits between whites. Let
President Lincoln i--nc a proclamation, pro

that the President ha> no constitutioi al pow

I'ractic; I the ell'ect would be the same in
boib ca-cs. In the proclamation alreidy is
sued, we take it ihat the President's great ob
ject was to secure a certain moral force, and to
enlist iiisiip|ori of the war the tnen of ex
treme anti Slavery opinions, who have thus
f,r been lukewarm and indifferent if not ia
open or covert opposition. The same result
would be secured by a proclamation against
the auti negro leg station ot Illinois, for no
mane in he truly and consistently ant i slavery
without being o, posed to all harsh and cruel
treatment ot the AflTr'can race in the free
S a'es. And, besj les, the issuing f such a
proclamation by the Pie.-o'enr would very
probably have such an ell'ect upon the public
>ent'inent of Illinois, that the legislature
Would he cons:rained thereby to repeal the
S'utties in question.
