TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, JAN. 13, 1864. SPEECH OF C. C. BURS, Esq. at A Festival in Bergeu' County, New Jersey. The following speech was recently deliver ed by Mr. Burr before a numerous body of citizens of Bergen county, New Jersey, tri re ply lo the toast," .Blessed are the Peace makers GENTLEMEN —A man might suppo-e that those who asked him to speak to this senti ment had some designs on iiis liberty. Be hind tins divine word, there sits a hastile. It was the Son of Man who said blessed are the pacemakers: hut Abraham Lincoln and all the worshippers of blood and negroes declare them accursed. To pray for peace was once a Christian virtue. It was the evidence of a pure heart, and ofari elevated intellect. It is treason now. The paths of peace instead of leading men's footsteps to heaven, lead to a dungeon. If you dare speak for peace there will come such a clamor of profanity, impu dence and brutality" about your ears as was never heard out os Pandemonium. But still we dare speak for peace. Appealing to God for the rectitude of our motives, and despising the ba-e wretches who would impugn them, we cry aloud lor peace, as a man cries for wa ter when his house is on lire. We are for peace ; not alone because we know that wal ls tendering the restoration of the Union im possible, but also because it is destroying the organic life of our Government. It is tearing out the keystone of the arch on which the whole edifice of the American principle and American liberty rests. This is the irre pressible reason wt.y every patriot opposes the war. To cover up this black spot, and draw away the public mind from the real is sue, the Abolition rrators cry out " what, would you let ilie S>uth go?" No, we would not it we had the power to prevent you from driving ihem oil' eternally. It is precisely because we do not intend to abandon the L:i ion. that w are for peace, just a- you are for war, because you have abandoned it. You boldly declare thit the Union as it was, can not and shall not be restored. Vice Pre-i 'lent Hamlin say- it is detnagogueisin to talk of such a thing. Tii Tefure you are not figbt mg to restore the Union. There is but one Union. That i- the Union as it was—formed by the Constitution as it is, which you affirm shall never be restored, because it would per pitualethe labor institutions of the South, as they are secured by the Constitution. It is as impudent a lie for these Abolition trai tors to call .i.e - selves friends of the Union, as if would hav- been I r the French revolution ists oil i B'J.

ILc cocoa nut is a negr./s liead. Tlnit is wnat we are lighting lor. In relation t< lbe war, there are three pat ties: lif-t tin: An diiioi! or Kepuhiican par ly, which says the Union shail not be restor ed under the Constitution as it is ; second, the party of nondescripts, or War Democrats, wiio profess that they want the Union back just as it was, ami yet support a war which lbey admit is lbr the purpose of destroying the Constitution and lite Union. This should be calkd the lunatic party. Must not men hi-crazy to suppuit a war which they de nounce as unconstitutionally carried on. and meant to revolutionize the Government and destroy the Union ? It is a charitable conclu sion to suppose that such men are crazy. Is it for ptundei and office that they connive at the barbarous murder of hundreds of thou sands of our people; and at the everlasting destruction ot the Union that was formed by our fathers, and tjie overthrow of the Govern ment ot the United States ? Is it lor piundet that they connive at these base and brutal designs ? Then are they dogs, and not men ? But we are told that it is policy. What is policy ? Is that the mild name that you give to the base cowardice that immolates your own laws, and aids the Abolitionists in breaking to pieces tbe altars of liberty that were built by our athers? But the people are not yet ready f>r the truth. When will they be ready tor the irutb, if you continue to teach them a lie ? But the people are not yet ready for the truth. Is it the cowardice or treachery of the politicians that has confused and demoral ized the ranks of the people. The meaning < f this word policy is a lie ; it is the last ref uge of a coward and a scoundrel. If the word was not made in hell it ought to have been, for it is the devil's own trick to cheat a man out of his virtue. It was not policy that won liberty for these states. It was priuci pie" The policy mongers said, wait! the time is not yet. But the true man said, strike, the time to be free is now and forever! On no lighter terms was liberty ever preserved.— The true policy of the Democracy is to stand by its principles of State sovereignty and State equality. These are the foundations of our Government. Strike them down and the whole superstructure falls. WbeD federalism, or centralized despotism obtained control of die Government in 1708 under John Adams, It commenced a war up on the sovereighty or equality of the States, which threatened, as now. the destruction of the Constitution. Under the lead of Jeffer son and Madison, the one the lather of the Declaration of Independence and the other of the Constitution, the Democracy rallied around the banner of State Sovereignty, de feated the usurpers and buried Federalism, so deep that it lay quietly in its grave for more than sixty years. But now Federalism has come to the surface again, and is waging its old war upon State Sovereignty with a fury and malice that threatens to strike the sun of liberty out of the sky of Clumbus. This is the paramount object of the war.; Opposition to secession is a secondary matter with the party waging the war. They knew; the war is neither a constitutional nor a pos I sible remedy for secession, and they have thel frankness to declare they will never consent to the restoration of the Union under the Constitution as it is. Therefore the war fs for disunion, for the overthrow of the Const! tu'ion, and for the destruction of the sover eignty of the States. It is as much a war against the organic being ot the Northern as of the Southern States. It is a war upon State sovereignty, aud thus far in its progress it has been much more successful in subvert ing the qovereignfy of the Northern than of tbe Southern States. Behold the pitable condition of Governor Seymour, of the once proud sovereign State of New York, now hu miliated, sitting disgraced and silent in the dnst, surrounded by Federal bayonets, its citizens dragged beyond the jurisdiction and protection ot its courts by Federal officers, its courts superseded by the President ; its jails lillirig up with Federal prisoners tried by no jury and sentenced by no court of justice, but by military commission at Washington. Do we men of New Jersey shudder at the humili ation of our sister States? Let us shudder for ourselves, for we are no better off. We ii.o, are reduced to a military district, in which the Federal Government, app-.iits | creatures to watch us, who always occupied i tie social position of thieves in our midst; and patient pe< ple tnat we are, one head has answered}" ach t these satraps for a good many months now, The Stale of New Jersey has ceased to exist ; it is only a military district. What made us a State ? Not the sky above us ; not the slopes and glades and truitfu' fields within our borders. Constitution and uws constituted us a S'.ite, and these have been suspended by the Federal Administra tion, and t can one or ah of yen when ever if pleases and send 3on to be the equal of a vgro, or to a dugebn. New Jersey is already just snch a thing as t'.e Abolitionists threatened to make of each, s ui'hern Sta'e, a Federal colony, or military tlisti cf. Mr Lincoln has succeeded in doing to ii- what he has been unable to do to the people of South Carolina, suspend the kubeus corpus and abolished trial by jury, 111 such cases as h<- pleases. Now, the war has been made the excuse for all this outrage and des jiotisin. But we know this despotism is rea lly the object of the war. Every Jersey man 10 favor of this war is a foe lo his own State, ami to the verv principle of government on which the Union of the States was founded. Then,show us a Jerseytnan who dare be any thing hut a Peace man ; stand linn up and let us look at him. Mark him well, for the time must cotne when he will he held to an avvlul responsibility for the part he has played in carrying on a war that is confessed to he for the destruction of the Union, and is knwn to be for the overthrow of the rigfits of the States. We are opposed to the war, because we are in favor of the Union as it. wa< and the Constitution as it is, and because we are for preserving the sovereignty and honor of the Slate of New Jersey—nay, of defending that sovereignty and honor against whatever pow er dares violate them. If any man says we are opposed t<> the war because we mean to abandon the Union, we hurl the falsehood back into the bar's teeth. We tell him that oe Knows his falsehood, and we charge him that he is for the war because he is against the' Union an i the Constitution, and because iie is an enemy to the sovereignty of his own State, lie is a double traitor. lie is for al lowing New Jersey to be reduced to the sta tus of a colony of tfie Federal Government, and of tamely submitting to a despotism that puts the property and liberty and hie of Jer seytnan at the mercy of a cabal of furious and bloody imbeciles in Washington. Let an inventory be taken of the dema gogues or cowards who shrink from any con flict that may be nececsary to defend tho sovereignty of onr State, and vindicate the manhood of our people. Acting within the limits of the Constitution, Mr. L ncol.i can not do to much to bring the revolted States back to their place within the Union. In such a work we should stand by 4im to the last hour. But may God Almighty never pardon our sins if we support him in the blood)* business of driving and baring them out, and closing the night of despotism and African tyarbarisui over the fruitful fields ! Bid as secessionism is, it is not 60 great a crime against Government, against civiliza tion, and humanity, as Liucolnism. Seces sion claims to withdraw certain Slates from I the jurisdiction from tho United States. There its crime ends. It makes no war np 'OQ ourcoDiititutiopa! form of nor upon the theory of popular sovereignty of which our country was born. But Lin colnism seems to annihilate these States, to strike them out of existance, and totally re pudiate the American principals of Govern ment. Secesgoinism inflicts no wound upon the organic life of the remaining States.— Lincolnism acknowledges its design to kill one third of the Sovereign States of America, and its purpose to subvert the sovereignty of the other two thirds; it is perfectly apparent Secessionism is a runaway—Lincoluistn an assassin. For the runaway there is yet hope —fur a return to the deserted family. But there is no remedy for Lincolnisrn or assassi nation. It is death, and there is nothing be yond but the desolation of the grave. Night I night! Eternal night! Night without a star, without the hope of dawn I With 6ick heart we turn away from these scenes of crime and carnage to find rest in the words of the ma jestic Prophet of Judeah : " Blessed are the peacemakers." Miscellaneous. Hyinti of The Marseillaise. The Marseilaiso was inspired by genius, pat riotism, youth beauty and champagne Rouget de Lisle was an officer of the garrison at Strasburg, and a native of Mount Jura.— He was an unknown poet and composer. He had a pleasent friend, named Dietrick, whose wife aud daughter were the only critics and admirers of the soldier poet's soDg. One night he wa&at supper with his friend's fami ly, and they had only coarse bread and slices of ham. Dietrick, looking sorrowfully at De Lisle, said, " Plenty is not our feast, but we have tho courage of soldier's heart; I 6tilj have one bottle lell in the seliur—bring it my daughter, aud let us drink to liberty and our country! Tbe young girl brought the hot tie; it was soon exhausted, aud DeLi-le went staggering to bed; could not sleep for the cold, but his heart was warm and full of the beating of genius and patriotism, lie took a small clavicord and tried to compost: a song; some times the words were c -mposed first—some times the air. Directly lie fell asleep over the instrument, and waking at daylight, wrote down what he had conceived in the delerium of the night. Then he waked the family, and sang his production; at first, the women turned pale, hen they wept, then burst forth into a cry of enthusiasm. It was • lie song of the nation and of terror. Two months afterwards, Dietrick went to the scaffold, listening to tho -e!i--aim? music, composed under his "Wn r.jot and by ilie in spiration >.f his last L 'tie of wiri". The people sang it everywhe:„; it flew fro i city to city, to every public orchestra. M irseilh adopted the "i>g at (he opening and c! ol it-club-—hence tie none, ~11/ ni >t tie Mar-eillai-e;" then it sped all over Francs I'hey sang it in their h> ics, 11 p i > ic as seinblies. and in the s'omnv' street c .nv n;i tioii. DeLt-le's mother heard it and said her son. V\ nit is this rev ilutio.nary hvm i, sung by bands of brigands, and with which your name is inuigleJ?" D Lsle heard it and shuddered as it sounded though the trees of Paris' rung from the Alpine passes, while he, a royalist, lied from the infuriated people, frenzied by his own wor Is. France was a great amphitheatre of anarchy and blood, and DeLisle's song was the battle crv There is no national air that will cimpure with the Marseillasse in subliinty and power; it embraces the soft cadences full of the peasant's home and the stormy clangor of silver and steel when an empire is over thrown; it endears the memory of the vine dresser's cottage, and makes the Franc hman in his exile, cry, "La belle France!,' forget ful of the torch, and sword, and guoilotino, which have mile his cmiry i - pectre of blood in the eyes of nations. Nor can the foreigner listen to it, sung by a company of exiles, or executed by a band of musicians, without feeling that it is the pibroch of bat tle and war. ART EM us WARD.—I A*as tixin' myself up to attend the great war meet in,' when my daughter entered with a young tnan, who was evidently lroin the city and who wore long hair, and had a wild expression in his eye. In one hand he carried a portfolio, and in his other paw clasped a bunch of brushes. My daughter introiuced him as Mr. Sweber, the extinguished landscape painter from phii adelph ia. Ms> s an artist, papa. Here is one of his masterpieces—a young woman gazin' admi rably upon her first borne, and my daughter showed me a realy nice picture dun in ile, "Is it not beautiful, papa ? lie throws 60 much soul in to his work." Does he ! does he ? said I. " Well " I reckon I'd better hire him to whitewash our fence ;it need 3 it. \\ hat will you charge, sir,' I continued, " to throw some soul into my face?" My daughter went out of the room in a very short meeter, takin' the artist with her, and from the very emphatic manner in which the door slammed I concluded she was some what disgusted with mv remarks. She closed the door, I must say in Italics, I went into the closet, and larfed all alone by mynlUbr over half an hour. ITEHMB: 81.GO PER Ouly A Child. "Who is bnried there?" sakl I to the sexton, "Only a child, ma'am." Only a child ! Oh \ bad yon ever been a mother—had you nightly billowed that little golden head —had you slept sweeter for that little yelvet hand upon your breast—had you waited for the first intelligent glance from those blue eyes—had you watched its slum bers, tracing the features of him who stole your girlish heart away—bad yo wept ft widows tears over unconscious ilead—And you t desolate timid heart gained courage from that httle piping voice tt* wrestle with the jostiing crowd for daily dtoad—had ite lor iug smiles and prattling words been a sweet recompense for saeh en exposure * had the ionly future bfeeft brightened the hops of that young arm tr lean upon that bright eye for your guiding star—had yon never framed a plan or known a hope or fear of which that child was apart. If there was naoght else on earth left for you to love—if disease came,— and its eye grew dim. and food, and rest,- and sleep, were forgotten in your fears—if you paced the floor hour by hour* with thst fragile burden when your very touch seemed to give comfort and healing to that little qnivering frame— had the star of hope set at last—then, had you hung over its dying pil low, when the strong breast that you should have wept on was in the grave, where your child was hastening— had you caught alone, its last faint cry for the help you could not give—had its last fluttering sigh breathed out on your breast—Oh ! could you have said—'lis only a cSild ?— Fanny Fern. The Blessed Home. Home ! To be home is the wish of the soc man on the stormy seas and lonely watch.— Ilome is the wish of the soldier, and tended visions mingled with the tronbled dreams of trench and tented field, where the palm tree i waves its graceful balms, and birds of jewell- J ed lustre flash aud flicker among the gor geous flowers, the exile sit staring on vacancy; and borne on the wings of fancy over inter vening seas and lands he has swept away home and hears the lark singing above his fathers field and see his fair haired brother, with light foot and childhood's glee, chasing the butterfly by his native stream. And in his best hours, home his own native borne, with his fitner above that starry sky, will be the wish of every Christian man. He looks aro,.nd him—he finds the world is full of suffering; he is distressed with its sorrows and vexed with its sins. He looks within him—he find-> much in his own corruption* to grieve for. In the language of a heart re pelled grieved, vexed, he often turns his eyes upwards, saying, " 1 would not live hear al wajs. No not for all the gold of the world's mines—not for all the pearls of the seas—not for all the pleasures of her flashing, frothy cup —not for all the crown of ber kingdom# I - woui.l I live here always." Like a bird ale. u> to migrate to those sunny lands where no winter sheds her snows' ot stripes the gmve' or binds the danc.ng streams, he will often in spirit be pluming his wings for the hour of his flight to glory. TAKE CARE OF SMALL THJRGS. —No man ever made a fortune, or rose to greatness in any department, without being careful of small things. As the beach is made up of grains of sand, so the millionair's fortune is an aggregation ot single adventures often inconsiderable in amount. Every emi net merchant, from Girard and Astor down, lias been noted for attention to details. Few distinguished lawyers have ever practised in the courts, who have not been remarkable for a simalar characteristic. It was one of the most striking peculiarities of the first Napol eon's ruind. The most petty details of house hold expenses, the most trival facts relating to his troops, were in his opinion, as worthy of attention as the tactics of a battle, the plans of a campaign, or the revision of a code. Demosthenes, the world's unrivaled orator, was as anxious about" the texture of his arsu mont or the garniture of his words. Before such examples, aud the very highest walks of intellect, how contemptible the conduct of small minds who despise small things. A MIXED CURRENCY The editor of a con temporary, in his distress and anguish, putt forth the following appeal, which is the moe* desperate atternp t to "inflate the that we have yet seen; Wanted— Hoop pole* shoe pegs, old boots, cat fish, saur kraut, corn husks, saw dust, porcupine quills, waton. keys, matches, fire crackers, peanuts, snapping unitg. old scraps, pig ears, tooth picks, cigar stumps, walnuts, old gum shoes' mowing scythes, wagon wheels, drums, jewsbarps, old shoe strings, horse shoes, bees in the hive, old pocket books, (full of money,) poat. age stamps, bank checks, shin plasters, good bank bills, and all others at this office in payineut of subscription, etc., at the highest market value.
