MAKE WAY FOR PENNSYLVANIA.
From the Clay Bugle.l


The subscribers, citizens OF Northumberland
borough and Point township, heretofore acting
with the Locoioco party and as many of us as
we're old enough, supporters of Martin Van Bu-
rem in 1910, do hereby publicly renounce our
adherence to that party, and what we consider its
destructive policy. We do this, not through ca
price, or the idle within of moment, but from
settled conviction, that upon the election of Clay
and Frenghuysen, and the permanent establish
ment OF great leading measure-the PROTECTIVE
Tariff, depend the welfare and prosperity of the
entire Union, and most especially of Pennsylva-
MIA. And being convinced by evidence the most
ncontestible, that James X Polk, and the great
mass OF his party, tiercey and bitterly opposed
to the tariff of 40, we hereby. most fearlessly
avow our determination, calmly and deliberately
formed, to oppose with all our might the afore-
said James X. Polk and his party, and to support
with the zeal of honest intentions, the illustrous
advocate of American industry-HENRY CLAY.
And further believing, that change in the adj
ministraton of the State Government, is essential
to the wel-being of this Commonwealth and in
cited by "a spirit of gratitude towards one, who in
the hour of need and danger, risked his life and
pledged his fortune for his country, we are also
resolved to give our support to the honest farmer
and brave old soldier-General MARKLE.
And to save the leaders of the party, we have
abandoned, any further trouble on our account,
we would admonish them, that all their efforts to
whip US back into the Traces" must prove utter
ly vain and fruitless. Our fathers fought for
their country in 76, we strike for ours in A.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-ln remarks made
in your paper ofthe LIST ul.. relating 10 a
speech made in Congress by Mr.. Davis,
of New York, it was said that he express.
ed one sentiment which went even beyond
any you had heard from the most fanat.
ical Of the uitrais's:" which was, "that
slavery could not exist in the District of
mbla--lhat the moment the District
came within the jurisdiction of the gov
eminent of the Unied States, that moment
by the operation of law, slavery was there
at an end-that while Congress could not
make king it could not make a slave
also that slavery could not exist in the
Territories under the government of this
country, no mater from whence or how
they were acquired" The opinion is one
have held for no inconsiderable time, and
however ultra it may appear, it is as true
as that slavery is an outrage upon hu

petitions for amendments to the Consti:u-
ton, or for a removal of the sea. OF gov
ernment, for the reason that Congress
would have the same Constitutional
right to create the institution of slavery
in Cincinnati or in Philadelphia, that it
had in the District Of Columbia; that the
operation OF lazy on a master and slave
coming into the District of Columbia, or
into any of the Territories under the Con.
stiturion is the same as on coming into
Vermont. The Constitution does affect
the relation OF master and slave 10 the
District and Territories of the United
States, but have not yet learned that the
fact tina! individuals have sustained that re-
lation, under the laws Of Virginia or Ma
ryland, is to affect the Constitution.

Davis was discussed as it should be before
the people, there would be found way

Twenty'Eighth Congress-
Correspondence ofthe Newly ork Sun.
Washington, Feb. 5, 1914.
Feb. 1914.

This being the first Monday of the
month was petition day; and you might
have naturally supposed that in three or
four hours the members could have got
through with the presentation Of their Pc
,ilions from The various States. But you
have to be informed that only Vernon,
Connecticut, Rhode Island. part Of New
York, and part Of Massac husttts We're dis
posed Of during the whole day. This
was entirely owing 10 the obstinacy of
Southern members IN regard to the 2 st
Rule.
Two weeks ago-that is last petition day
The Staes were called over backwards,
serjatjm--that is, beginning with Iowa.
The speaker had got only half way
through New York on that day, when
Mr.. Beardsiey presented petition from
Oneida CouolN New York praying Con-
gr,s 10 repeal the act of 1884 or 1893 re-
latve TO the arrest Of fugitive slaves. AS
some southern members OBJECTED 10 its re-
cepljon al that time, Mr.. Beardsey called
for ayes and NAYS, aud moved call orthe
House, that this question might be tested
in full House. Well, then, after the
Journal was read to day, this was the first
business in order. And as there appeared
to be but l50 or 100 members present.
Mr. BeardsIy moved IA call OF the House
to day. This was refused. He then de.
manded the ayes and nays on the question
of laying this petition on the table, and
they were ordered, and resulted, ayes 81,
nays 70. So the House refused 10 re-
ceive this petition Mr., BeardsIey then
presented TWO olher petitions, which the
Speaker said came within the rule, and
they were elected.
Messas D4pa, Hunt Stetson and Car
roll of New York, presented petitions for
reduction Of postage, which were refer
red.
Mr.. Hunt presented petition praying
that the ordinance OF 1897 prohibiting
slavery in the North Western Territory
might be extended so as to prohibit slave
ny In all our Territory West Of the Mis-
sisslppi; this the speaker said did not
come within the twenty first Rule.
Mr.. Cam bell said it did, and affected
slavery in our Territory of Texas!

grading and Disgusting spectacle which
we exhibit in The eyes Of foreigners, and

sistlng, so far as they have done, The raw
enons and outrageous demands of the
monster Slavery; but we deny that they
have done all or even one-quarter Of that
which could consistently be done against
the monster. We assert that the Wings
of the North possess the power, if they
will but WELD it, to annhiate Slavery in
our country. Let them be about it then,
and that speedily, if they wish 10 retain or

jec(ed.
Mr.. Hamilton Fish presented the me.
mortal of SlIas Jones and several others
for an International Copyright Law,
! which was referred to the Select Commit-
tee.
Several other petitions were then pre-
scented from Vermont, New York and
Connecticut, for a reduction of postage,
against the annexation Of Texas, the abol-
ishing of West Point and the ranking
privilege.
The case of the great fire work and
rocket man, Mr., A. c. GoeI, theo came
up on memorial preierring charges
against several officers of the army, it
was referred to a select Committee of i've
with full powers; and it is said that some
disgracefn disclosures will be elected.
Mr.. Adams presented the resolutions OF
the Legislature of Massachusetts, in favor
of the abolition Of slave representation.
Mr.. Adams insisted on the question of
their reception being considered now the
Select Committee 10 whom similar reso-
lutions were referred could not report
without these, and he demanded The yeas
and nays. They were ordered. (for the
third time and resuted--Aves "a Noes

State were virtually rejected !
Mr.. Adams then presented a petition
from shareholders in Maryland, praying
Congress to pass laws 10 enable them 10
catch their runaway slaves with more ia
ciIily. This was referred, although lis
presentation by Mr.. Adams occasioned
much laughter.
Mr.. Adams then presented a petition
from EImira County, in New York, pray
ing ap amendment 10 the "a clause Of the
I'd section Of the Constitution, to allow the
Southern States to have no representation
in Congress for their slaves. This was
opposed by Mr.. DeIlet, and Mr.. Adams
again demanded the ayes and noes, they
were ordered flor the 4th time,) and re-
sulted--ayes, 73; noes, Is. So this Pc
tlton was rejected.
Mr.. Adams then offered a precisely
similar petition from Wayne county. N
