The funeral q the late 4 G. Eastman took place
Thursday afternoon, Al two o'clock from the First
Baptist Church. BIS remains were removed, from
his late residence by his Masonic brethren to the
Church at the hour indicated Long before the hour
for the funeral obsequies every available place in
the Church was occupied, and hundreds of those
who had come there to testify their respect for the
memory Of the deceased, and to mingle their tears
with those who mourned the sudden death OF an es-
teemed friend and apublicspirted citizen, were un
able to obtain admission The services IN the Church
were conducted by the Rev. Drs. HOWELL and SEHoS,
each of whom had known the deceased intimately
for number of years, and spoke feelingly and elo-
ouently of the manly virtues which characterized
him through life The services were brief, but sol
emn and impressive, and the feeling manifested by
the large concourse present showed the estimation
in which the deceased was held.
At the conclusion of the services at the Church,
the corpse removed by the palbearers and plac-
ed in the hearse and was escorted to the City Gene

The Danger Of the Union.

The sympa thy manifested at the North by
the Republicans for John Brown has given
cause for very general alarm in the Southern
States. The people there are thoroughly
aroused to a sense Of their danger. They ar,

to high official positions whose forte is oppo-
silion to everything Southern, and remark.

The feeling existing between the two Sec

of Congress. Apprehensions Of a collision

But all this, though doubtless sincere, will

"Some Jealous folks Down East

THURSDAY. DECEMBER 49, 1850
The Black Republican Board Of
COmmissiOners-HOw They A
WnPd Contracts,

ward Contracts.
On the 9Th inst, John Gillen, one
of the Commissioners of this County,
announced to us that on the next day
the Board would let out TO the l0l0eSt
bidder the contract for the printing Of
blanks, &c, for the County. Mr.. G.
remarked that 1t was their (the Com.
missiorersO duty to get everything
done as lO,0 as possible. We suggest
ed, if that was their Objec., that no.
tice for sealed proposals had better be
published, SO as to give persons who
used power presses chance to bid, as
they could print blanks cheaper than
any one in Macarthur. From the
manner in which our remarks were
received, we saw at once that economy
WAS not their only object.
1t was very evident tc us that they
had received orders from the Naviga.
tor clique, and that j. W. McBeth
was to be awarded the printing. We
also understood, from good authority,
tha! one of the Republican officers in
the Court House had declared that we
should not have a cents worth oi
printing from him, even if we put in
the lowest bid.
We then desired the Commission.
erS to write down what printing it was
they desired to contract for. Gillen
promised to do so that evening, 6ut
did not! We then on Wednesday
morning had no definite knowledge
about the matter. The Commission
ers had utterly refused to say "in
black and white" what it was they
wanted. The Republican officers in
the Court House had either init mat ed
or boldly declared that they would not
give us printing il we got the contract,
and we had one hour in which to bid!
OF course, under such circumstances
there was but little inducement for us
to bid. If we got the contract we could
get only what printing the Democrat.
ic officials chose to give us. We nev
theless put in a bid. The other bid,
ders were j. W. McBeth and II. S.
Hamilton. Mr.. Hamilton's bid was
the loaCeSt Of the three, but the Com,
missioners awarded the contract to j.
W. McBeth ! They even refused to
recognize the bid of Mr.. Hamilton -
Mr.. Magee, the only remaining Dem,
ocrat in the Board, entered his protest
against this action, and the people ol
the County can call at the Auditors
Office and take a look at the protest as
recorded. The result was just what
we anticipated. The Republican press
Of this place was to have the printing
at all hazards. Economy of erpsnse
a0aS not the object, John Gillen to the
contrary Notwithstanding. The action
of the Republican Board throughout
gives the lie to the excuse set up by
them, and well they know it. We
believe that they are simply tools in
the hands of tue Navigator clique, and
have pro8tituted themselves and their
Offices ior party purposes. More anon.

WashingtOn News.


We clip the following tolegraphlc
dispatch from the Cincinnati Enqui.
Ter.
WASHINGTON, Saturday, Dec. 10.
70 tie editor Qfthe Enquirer:
In the House to-day, Mr.. Curry, Of
Alabama, made a splendid speech,
which was very courteous, able and
logical in portraying the rise and
inevitable tendency Of the Repub.
lican party. He maintained that the
election Of Seward, or such a man OF
his party, to the Presidency, would be
cause sufficient for dissolution Of the
Union, Applause followed the decla-
ration. His manner was solemn and
impressive, aud he was listened to
with the most profound attention.
His speech was an hour long, and the
ablest and most eloquent delivered
since the commencement of the Ses.
sion. Governor Smith, of Vir.
ginia, made a strong ana eloquent
appeal to Horace Clark to stand by
the Democratic organization, saying
that Clark's errors heretofore have
been of the head and not Of the heart.
Attorney-General Voorhees,, John
L. Robinson and Governor Willard
are all here on their return from
Richmond, Va, having entirely failed
to obtain a pardon or Communication for
Cook. There is universal sympathy
with Governor Willard, who will 90
to Charlostown and remain until
Cook is executed, to take home his
body.
The news of the triumph Of Judge
Douglas ru the election in Ohio and
Indiana is strengthening him in the
South, and public opinion is settled
down to the idea that he will oe the
nominee.
The President will not send In his
Message until the House organizes.-
1t is said he will oppose the aduis.
sion OF Kansas.
The South Americans have signi.
fled that they will vote for the Hon.
John Ii. Reagan, of Texas, for Speak
er. 1t is believed that either lie or the
Hon. John G. Davis, of Indiana, will
be the Speaker. Davis chances are
somewhat deprecated by his refusal,
80 far, to vote for Bocock.
Browns Hotel came very near
burning last night; but for the prompt
exortions of the guests of the house
among them Senator Pugh, Of your
State--it would have been destroyed.
One thousand dollars will pay for the
repairs.
Mr.. McGrogor, a member of the
British House OF Commons, was in the
uouse to-day.
1t is feared that Governor Fitzpal,
ick, Of Alabama. will be defeated for
rec Election to the Senate by the pres
out Legislature.
Judge Douglas health is rapidly
improving, and it is believed he has
abandoned the idea Of going to Flori.
da.
1t is thought that the House will
organize by Wednesday next.
Humphrey Marshall is here nrging
an union between the Democracy and
South Americans. Ifthis is affected,
all hopes Of the Republicans electing
a single officer will have vanished.

| What, then, can be the end sought to
be attained through that decided and
persistent repugnance to slavery"
which is esteemed so desirabiei--
What else but to arouse sentiments,
feelings and pIejudices actively ad
verse to slavery wherever it existsi--
Now it is idle to think that all these
laborious efforts are made to excite
such a state ofthe popular mind, with
out, also, the design to make use OF it
when it shall be excitedl There is
no danger near or remote of the
planting Of slavery in any State where
liz is not now established. There is no
pending question touching the exten.
sion of slavery iGtO any territory
There is no field for anti.slavery to
work upon but within the organized
members of the Confederacy. If this
and it's kiGdred measures do not meau
some direct or indirect occupation Of
that fiold-the organization of some
act or influence by which the slave
tenure shall be weakened, and a ten
dency to dissolution impaired to
Southern society, then the authors of
the same are the idlest of all fools, the
most objectlessly busy ofall mischief:
makers. We must either believe that
they are wicked and designing men,
or that they are mere idiots, with an
instructive love OF disorder.
The time is now past when it can
with truth be denied that the Repub.
lican is, to every practical intent and
.purpose-so IA as it can be made 30
by the will of the leaders--au aboli-
tion party. The circular OF which the
foregoing is a copy is undoubtedly au-
thentic. 1t was received in March
last, by a gentleman Of this city, d.
rect from a member OF one of the com
mitteeS, under the expectation that the
receiver would give his aid to the en-.
terprise, II bears the appearance Of
the product Of a concerted action by
all the Republican leaders, and may,
without injustice, he taken us u true
picture Of the policy they intend to
pursue. 1t is, in fact, the Republican
programme for tho Presidential can.
vass DISCO the first great, secret,
fundamental measure OF the cam.
paign.
There are considerations of vast
Importance growing ont Of this act of
the leaders OF the Republican party,
which deserve discussion at greater
length than is compatible with the
present article. 1t is hardly necessa.
ry to say that measures like these are
dangerous oneS--that society in one
part ofthis Union can not be arrayed
against society in another part with
out a conflict which, whether ire
pressible or not, can not take place
without consequences sad and shame.
