Democrat, in those eities, and are author ised to take Advertisements and Subscriptions for us at our lowest Rates. United States Senator. Notwithstanding the confident predictions cf the Republican press to the contrary, we aro enabled this week to announce to our readers, what we fee! confident will give every true Democrat a thrill of pleasure, the elec tion of Hon. CHARI.ES R. BUCXALKW, of this district, to the Senate of the United States. -AU the plotting, intriguing and corrupt ap pliances of the Abolitionists, under the lead of their " chief" Simon Cameron, failed to thwart the stern will cf the people in the choice of their representative, to what should be, and will be, when pruned of its corrupt and fanatical members—the most exalted, de liberative body in the world. With all the extravagant praise so lately bestowed upon proviso David, at the expense of his conservative colleague, Cowan ; the claims of that wheasing. old Abolition tyrant from Bradford, were quietly ignored ; and the Slippery Simon, with the Midilletwon Bank at his back, was placed upon the track. Siuuti has but just returned from St. Petersburg, at an expense of something over $15,000 to the Government, and had, no doubt, forgotten all about the depreciation of Middletown Rank notes, which are now, compared with money, worth about (itty-two cents on the dollar.— With this depreciation they have lost their potent charms ; and their owner his wizard powers to control the votes of the represen tatives of the people. Alas! poor Simon. He'll have to wig-wag back to Russia again. And David, king of the Abolitionists, will, in a month or two—if not cired fot by Father Abraham—return to his own foul nest • f traitors, a rejected, despised, broken-down political demagogue. In the election of CHARLES R. BCCKALEW, the Keystone of the once unbroken arch has secured one of Che ablest and purest men of tho country. A man worthy to occupy the place dignified bv the presence of the Web ster?, Caliiouns, Clays, and Bentons of the past age. The deluge of puritanical fanatic ism so threatening to th : s country, has reach ed its highest point. The election of BUCKA LEVV of Pennsylvania, of RICHARDSON of Illi nois, of WALL of New Jersey to the Senate of the'JUnited States, and of HORATIO SEY MOUR to the Governorship of New York, are as so many separate olive branc.ies sent into the ark. Hope for their country, will soon revive in the breasts ol the people. The cor morants that have been feeding upon its vitals and sucking its very life blood, will be driven from its rae'ihted, quivering, exhausted body, into tl. eternal shades of infamy and disgrace which they so richly deserve ; and there to dwell as objects for the execrations | of an outraged people, and of generations yet unborn. Gov. Seymour's Message. On our first page will be found an extract 1 from the very able message of Governor Sey mour of New York, to the Legislature of that State. We iegret our inability, on account of space, to give the whole of it that relates to our national affairs. Manv of our readers, doubtless, have read it. But it is a document that will stand the test of re-readim-. In j short it is one of the ablest expositions of the affairs of our country and of the fallacies of the President .and those who control its destinies, that has been given to the country since the commencement of our difficulties. Every roan who values constitutional liberty, who looks to the supremacy law, order, truth and justice, will find in Governor Seymour, o!le of their ablest advocates and most un compromising friends. To him belongs the distinguished honor of being the first man, in an official capacity, where his influence could be felt, that has raised his voice in defence of the sacred rights of the citizen, and the sovereignly of State against the tyranny and oppression heaped < 11 the one, and the unjustifi bio violation of the other, by the reckless fanatics now in power. He declares in language that cannot be mis taken even by the blindest and must infatu ated revolutionist, that the laws and constitu tion shall be obeyed. This is not a mere brutum fulvien —an idle threat. It is the matured expression of the inflexible w ill of the masses who are now wrenching from the grasp of the tyrants, the iron sceptre with which they have ruled and ruined a once free prosperous and happy people. The Adminis tration have anticipated the rising whiilwind of the pent up popular will, which was so soon to sweep them from power, and have re leased the objects of their tyranny from im prisonment. Forts Lafayette and Warren yielded up the victims of Aboli'ion tyranny, •ven before Governor Seymour thundered at tbeir iron gates. Another. The Hon. J. W. Wall has been elected Uuited States Senator by the Legislature of New Jersey. This will be another ghost fruiu the Abolition b&stile to confront the usurper aU Wasblngto n JD2T A bill ofFered in Congress to reduce the duty on foreign paper, a few days since was smothered by the committee to whom it was referred. The duty being 35 per cent, with the present high rates of exchange, op erates as an absolute prohibition on its im portation. It is charged that rhi< strange action of the Congressional Committee is owmg entirely to certain influences brought to bear on them, by the principal paper rnik ert who lately held a secret meeting in New York, These manufacturer* are making for tunes out of the hard working printers ; and certain Congressmen of the Simmons -tripe are getting rich by taxing the knowledge < f the people. It there ever was a more coi rupt nest of plunderers and fanatics gathered t.gtih er, since the creation, than the present con gress, we have failed to find uny roc rd of it in history. OK Ear While thousands of our soMiera have suffered everything but death, (and ma ny of them have not escaped that) tor want cf their hard earned wages for the past half year, the contractors hangers on, and hor-e --leaclies in and around Washington, have liv ed in clover, made their fortunes arid our President,his Cabinet and Congre-s have la en sadly brooding over the unfortunate condi tion of the " Americans of African descent,", alias niggers in the south, who havn't vet heard of the proclamation. Those who have heard the if! ad tidings and come to tie* bo som of their father Abraham, hve in the en jovment of ease with dignity and are sump tuuusly fed and clothed at the cxptnse of the fathers, mothers and brothers of the starving, half-clothed, unpaid soldiers. Oh ! the poor nigger. - - - Our Losses in Ilattlr. The Philadelphia Evening Journal has an article a. Pr <ving the unci get ic and povvt rl'ul action oJ Governor Ct r.riN, of that State I who by Ins " determined ami almost muti nous action, " s cured the removal ot the wounded soldiero of tb IYnn\\ Ivar.i icgi iiients to their own State, *:■ ' to their homes, where adequate medical ski!! replaced the imperfect and ;11 organized systems of the Federal hospitals; and urges that other Gov ernors shall pursue a count which has re suited in saving the lives of thousand 3. It claims what may be regarded a< 1! the best authority" f r saying tliat about -ix thousand Pennsylvania!)? wire killed, wound ed and missing from the fatal onset < f Fred ericksburg." 'J uis is two-thirds of ait the reported casualties ; and yet who L lieves that Poiiiyivania's share was ever, one third? If tlie losses of that St ile numbered G,OOO, then the f ill i s of mir army inu-t have been over 20000. We d not doubt it was.

But wiiat was the e fleet of this false d •ir-?c l a'" m ?

It imputed c w ardice to the brave regiment? that, firhting ttno igh a long dry , i.i summer's t -at, with out f>d oi drink, drove the enemy f r m l. and yielded at last only to superior uuuil-ers and exhausting losses. This persistency in understating the 1 s-e--, and thus diminishing the magnitude 'J* - the contests, and tlie exigencies under which our j troops were compelled to ret rent, ha- injured ' our reputation as a military nation. It was persevered in throughout We weic told that the seven days' fight of the Petnt ula, | the week of POPE'S letre.at, the bat:!. - ot Antictam and South M ui tain, and the ai lair at Fredericksburg, and later .-till, the ; five days battle of Murltee?born, and the seigeof Vicksburg, were attended with emu- I patatively iittie Us*, on our part. li :s lb!- 1 ly to seek to spread such an idea. The fact stated by Governor SEYMOUR, in his message, is significant ;n this connection. " Since the beginning of the pre.-c nt wnt the State of New York has sent to the field 222.- 830. The number from this State now in the field i? estimated at 12d.0f 0. showinc a ? t total waste since the beginning of the war i f 97.830." VViio is it that is interested : n behttleing the sacrifices of our brave armies? Who but those who turn up their noses over the wholesale massacre and carnage, and call it a " lose water" war !A r . Angus. REPUBLICAN LOGIC.— The Boston Post thus disposes of the Republican doctrine that sla very was the cause of the war: " If there were no negro slavery, they say, there certainly would have been no war, and therefore slavery was the cause. Let us ap ply this logic. If there were no dwelling houses, ihere would be no burglary ; ergo, t'nc dwelling house is the- Cause of theft.— Ilad there not been two haystacks, the both ered jackass would not have died of hung r ; ergo , the haystacks were the cause of the jackass's death. If Whitney had not invent ed the cotton gin, cotton raising would not have been profitable and slavery powerful, and without power there had been no rebell ion ; ergo, Whitney was the cause of the re bellion." ► FACTS. —If the President can legally abol ish slavery tn G mrgia, be can legallv es ab lish it in Rhode Island. If Congress can di vide Virginia without the consent < f the Vir gtnia Legislature, as provided in the Consti tution, so it can consolidate the New Eng land States, and make only one of the pres ent six. If the President cin go outside of the Constitution so far as to change the in stitution of the several States, under tlm war so he can authorize loans or the issue of de , inand notes, or do anvthin r else which the Constitution does not prohibit, but leaves in the hands of Congress— Providence Post. Letcher on Lincoln. A New York paper of the 12ih inst., con tains a portion of the Message of Gov. Letch er, recently delivered to the Virginia Legisla ture. The concluding part is as follows : " Nothing but a pure love of freedom could have indited officers and men, women and children, to make the unparalleled sacrifices which have characterized this unnatural war, brought upon us by one whom accident ele vated to the Presidency of the United States 111 the memorable year iB6O.

In the Senate on Monday, a resolution was adopted requesting the Committeo on the Conduct of the War to inquire into the causes which have delayed the execution of the Con fiscation act, especially in the District of Co lumbia. A bill was passed authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to issue two hun dred millions of dollars additional, HI bonds aud notes, for the prompt payment of the ar rearages due to soldiers, marines, and sailors. The bill passed the House on Thursday, and is now a !aw On Tuesday the death of llon- James A. Pearce, of Md , was announced.

In the House, on Monday, a resolution was adopted instructing the Secretary of the Treasury to inform the 11 <use what amount of money had been expended f r the mainte nance of the slaves taken from disloyal own ers ; and to wtiat extent their services had compensated for the expense. A joint retmlu' tion approving, ratifying and confirming the emancipation proclamation was referred to the Judiciary Committee. A resolution was adopted instructing the Committee on Milita ry Affairs to inquire into the exfiediency of granting a bounty land warrant of one hun dred and sixty acres to every soldier who is now or who may hereafter enlist in any of the old regiments in the field—the warrants to be located upon confiscated land, alter the war shall have ended. A bili was intro duced appropriating ten millions of dollars towards the abolishment of slavery in Mary land. The House then resumed the consiberation of the Finance bill, reported by the Commit tee of Ways and Means.

CurtlnS Message. Gov. Curtin's annual message, which wis : sent to tlie Legislature on Wednesday list } is a brief documeut. It indulges 111 no la bored essay upon the war, or flourishes, on tlie rebellion. It leaves the ruggers out; in the cold and goes at once to the business of the State and keeps steadily hold of it. The receipt" fr tn ordinary sources of revcnoe for the year 1802 exceed those of 1861 by $1,03b, IC6. Tins condition of the finiance o! the State is consi 'ered favorable to revision of the revenue laws for tlie purpose of lessening taxes. The public debt on the first of December last amounted to $44,213. The sinking fund $10,781,000. It is expected that thole will be a million and a half of dollars this year to devote to the payment of the public debt. The L T . S. direct tax for 1802 was paid partly in cash and partly by claims upon the National Government. About $300,000 remain due to Pennsylvania after this settlement. Time of the five millions of bonds deposited which the State bv tlie act of May 7, 1861, have been banded over to the Philadelphia and Erie railroad, and sixty two miles of the road have been Guilt, wiih the proceeds making a total of 109 miles, leaving 89 miles unfinished, which are ready for the iron. The interest on the State debt was paid in August la:t, in specie or its equivalent,at a cost to theJState of $146,631 for the difference between specie and paper.

It urges the freed negroes to commit no violence, unless assailed and to work for !ea-ombie wages. In what sense, then is the Message a War measure if its s.jo scope is to change the status of three millions of !a borers in tin S tun 1 The Ah .0.-is used p) insist that the negroes wotpd work better tor wages, man upon couipul-i >n ; ani be more attached to tneir communities.

The Pjesident himself does not believe in this Aboiiln n scheme as War measure* The National Intelligencer says; The freedom that shall accrue to the slave under this proclamation will result from the law ol force, and not at all from the declatory portion of the President's decree. And in this view, which is self-evident to every mind wo are not at all surprised to learn, as we do. that the President, in his own private opin ion. anticipates little if any utility from the proclamation of freedom, considered as a " war measure."— EJ\ How AN AMERICAN .MOTHER. TALKS. —An American mother thus writes re specting the late slaughter at Fredericksburg : " If I could feel that the death of iny young friend had been in the service of the count ry instead of being one of a hecatomb of mur ders, I could grieve less. It seems to me if I had lost a son at that blundering battle, I should have needed—have needed heavenly grace to keep from the spirit of Charlotte Corday. Can Lincoln sleep ? Does Hal leek hear that the groans of the wounded night and day ? Does Stanton feel the agonizing screams of mothers, wives and children which are caused by hiiu I The curses of a uation will fall heavily on the heads of those who cause our present misery, whether Abolition ists or Cabinet officers." C3T General Butler left New Orleans followed by the imprecations of every man, woman and child in that city, except con tractors, whose plunder he had shared. The following acrostic gives a fair idea of the esti mation in which he is held in the Crescent City : Brutal and vulgar, a coward and knave— Famed for no action noble or brave. Beastly by instinct, a tyrant and sot. I gly and venomous—on mankind a blot— Thief, liar and scoundrel, in highest degree. Let Yankeedom boast of such heroes as thee !
