SOrely Exercised.

The Abolition-Rcpublican papers arc
much chagrincd at the action Of the
Douglas Democratic Convention which
assembled At Springfield, Illinois, on the
4th inst. They had hoped that that
Convention would have declared war
to the knife and knife to the hit" against
the Administration. Now when these
poor, deluded Republicans see the mani
festatons of desire for harmony and the
willing reference of all matters in dis
pute to the National Democratic Con-
ventlon, accompanied with the pledge to
abide the decision of that tribunal, they
tear Their hair in rage and dsappoint-
ment, exclaimDg call is lost-all hope
is gone-the great National Democra-
cy will not initiate the Kilkenny CATS
by fighting among themselves and there
by fritter away their own strength.

any inherent power within ourselves,
but upon the expected divisions among
our opponents" Such are the lugubi-

The Negro and the Republican Party in
Massachusetts,.

The elevation of the Negro to lev
Ell of the white man, or the degradation
Of the white man to the level or even
below that Of the Negro, is a primary
object Of the Republican party. Our
readers will remember that the Repub-
lican Legislature of Massachusetts, some
few years ago, disbanded all the volun-
teer companies composed of foreigners,
and took from them the arms belonging
TO the State. In order to cap tho climax
OF their devotion to the doctrine of Ne.
gro superiority, at the last session of the
Legislature the Republicans passed .
bill organizing Negro volunteer comma.
MES, to take the place Of those thew had
disbanded. Governor Banks has vetoed
this bill, on the grounds given in the
following item of news:

cans OF tHib eAcnptlhcsl'Ou u MSssa'
chuset,s Republicanism?
The Republican Party and the Fugitive
Slave Law.
We apprehend that GOVERNOR CHASE
of Ohio is about as good Republican
authority as can be adduced to establish
what is and what is not Republican doc
trns. While the Sectional Republican
party is bitterly opposed to the Fugit We
Slave Law and its enforcement, many Of
its leaders affect to be it's friends and to
look upon it not only as being constitu-
tional in oil it's provisions, but as being
an absolute requirement Of the Constitu-
ton itself. The former position is uni
versally taken in Abolition localities,
and the latter is assumed to deceive the
people Of those portions Of the Union
in which the doctrines Of the Abolition
lists are not popular. The Republican
party Of Ohio is as thoroughly Adolf
tionized az that Of any other State Of
the Union, with the exception probably
of that of Iowa. In Ohio, the Adolf
tionists Of the Western Reserve control
tho party of the State, and in Iowa the
equally radical and fauatical German
AbolitiOnists have the balance of the or
ganization with which they are affiliated
PROSTATE at their feet.
GOVERNOR CuAsE takes bold ground
against the Fugitive Slave Law. In his
recent message he says:
The Fugitive Slave Act. necessarily repug.
nant to publ sentiment. and believed by a
large majority to be unconstitutional in some
Of its conspicuous provisions. il not in its orr
gin, has been executed within her limits With
circumstances of aggrAvation which could moi
fail to excite the deepest feeling"
This is true Republicanism, coming
from one who is widely spoken of as I
prominent aspirant for the Presidency
When we contrast the doctrine thus
promulgated with that avowed by Hon
Thomas CoRwIN, the non-Abolitionizee
Republican, We have an example Of tn,
Janus-faced character Of that pie-balo
party. Unhappily, Mr.. Corwin repre-
SCENTS scarcely a corporal's guard Of thu
Republican organization. Garrison, Phil
lips, Fred. Douglass, Giddings and mel
of that stripe are the leading spirits t.
whose fanaticism "evcry head must bow
and every knee must bend" in the Re
publican ranks. These are the men VIII
direct the movements Of Republicans
and who prescribe What planks shall b
admitted and what must be rejected i
the construction of the Republican plat
form. Eject them and their follower
from it, and the balance would presen
puny band with which to contend 70
victory.

How to Burn Coal.

Nine out Of ten who attempt to burn
coal in stove, waste about as much
coal as is necessary to be consumed for
the obtaining Of all the heat desirable.
Observe the following rules. We will
suppose the stove cleaned out.
First, To make coal fire Put in
double handful of shavings, or light
kindling-wood instead. Fill the earthen
cavity Gf the stove has one) nearly full
of chunks Of dry wood, say four or six
inches in length. On the top put a
dozen Jumps of egg coal. Light with
paper from beneath. In ten minutes add
about twenty Jumps more of coal. As
soon as the wood has burnt out, fill the
cavity half or two-thirds full Of COAL
The fire will be good one. The coal
will, by following these directions, be-
come thoroughly ignited.
Second, Never fill a stove more than
half or two-,hirds FULL of coal, even in
the coolest weather.
Third, When the fire is low, never
shake the crate or disturb the ashes,
but add from ten to fifteen small Jumps
OF coal, and set the draft open. When
these are heated through and somewhat
ignited, add the amount necessary for a
new fire, but do not disturb the ashes
yet. Let the draft be open half an
hour. Now shake out the ashes. The
coal will be thoroughly ignited, and will
keep the stove at high heat from six
to twelve hours, according to the cold
ness of the weather.
Fourth, For very cold weather. Az
ter the fire is made, according to the
rules fret and third, add every hour
about fifteen to twenty lumps OF egg
coal. You will find that the ashes
made each hour will be about in that
ratio.
~ The following is On extract from
letter received Ivy the Overland Mail.
from the postmaster, At Santa Fe, dated
Dec. 12:
Our mail from independence, arrived
here yesterday afternoon, with tho four
missing back mails.
The party returned with the escort
that accompanied the outgoing mails
four weeks ago. At Cold Spring, they
were attacked by about one hundred
Nova Indians, aud fought them for six
hours; none of them were killed. 1t is
supposed that number Of Indians were
killed, anI several wounded.
NO mail can get through without an
escort, and unless it is furnished by the
Department Commander, we will have
no mail through this winter.
Az appears by the report Of the Sec'y
Of the Interior, the census Ct 1860 will
be conducted under the law enacted in
1850. An appropriation of one million
dollars will be necessary to defray the
expenses; and under the present ar
engagements the marshals will enter rig
orously upon tho performance of their
duties on the Let Of June next

From the Nor 1ing Pennsylvanian
Hon. T.. Joy Morris and His Votes.

The Hon. Mr.. Morris, of this city,
seeks to excuse himself for voting for
MIR. Sherman by parading an old speech
Of Mr.. Sherman, made years ago, as if
that were evidence of his sentiments
now. To show how delusive il such a
statement, which no one except Gas with
Mr.. Morris) he wishes to be deluded,
could be in the absence of conclusive
evidence Of what his sentiments now are,
we quote the following from Gov. Sew
ards former letter, and ask Mr.. Morris
it he is willing to endorse it as being
no,o Gov. Stewards sentiments. The
occasion was the following: Gov. Sew
ard and Gov. Marcy were rival candi-
dates for Governor; there existed at that
time law in New York which allowed
the master with his slave from another
State to reside nine months in New
York, if he pleased, without being in
terfered with. The question was put to
both candidates during the canvass
whether they were for or against the
continuance Of this lew. The following
extract from Gov. Stewards letter in re-
ply to tbs question, will chow his then
opinion 'But, gentlemen, being de-
sirous to be entirely candid in this COM
munication, it is proper to say that l
am not convinced that it would be Ell
Their wise, expedient or humane to de-
clare to our fellow citizens of the South
crn and Southwestern States, that if they
travel to ard from, or pass through the
State of New York, they shall not bring
with them the attendants whom custom
or education or habit may have rem
dersd necessary to them. l have not
been able to discover any good object
to be attained by such an act of inhos-
pitality." INVESTIGATOR.

The Mormons, according to their own
census, are decreasing in Utah. In
1860 they numbered $4,000; in 1857.
only 3l,o22; and in 1858, only about
10000. They claim, however. that
they are increasing in the country At
large and in the world, and they ascribe
the diminution in Utah to temporary
causes and absences. 1t is computed
that there are $4,000 in Great Britain
and Ireland, and 1000 on the continent
of Europe, besides some 5000 in Cana
da, 1000 in California, and several
thousand in tho Eastern States and
South America. Altogether they mum.

where they practice polygamy and carry

place where they do not increase.
