Presidential Programmes.

The Washin gton correspondent of the New
York Herald professes to give an account of
meeting of several leading Republicans of
the country III New York city. just previous
to the session of the Republican Nations al
Committee, called ''to deliberate on the pro-
gramme of 1860" The said meeting is rep
resented as being almost unanimous in the
opinion that Mr.. Seward would not answer
for Presidential nominee, but that some such
man as Mr.. Bates of Missouri must be pre-
sented for President, with either Gov. Banks
or Gov. Morgan for Vice President. The
writer says of the gentlemen composing the
meeting:
They even went so far as to discuss the
question of Cabinet programme, being as
follows.
Banks, Secretary of State.
Cameron. Secretary of the Treasuary.
Lincoln, Secretary of the Interior.
Pettigrew, of S. Carolina, Attorney Gen.
eral
Bolts, Secretary of War
Bell, Secretary of Navy.
Baker. of California, Postmaster Genera,

lis never publish anything as fact. that is
not well authenticated Shetland Is certainly
the paradise of old maids.
1t appears, that, in Shetland. the greater
number of marriages are between youths of
nineteen and maids of thirty-two! when
ever a young man can act his part in the man
ming of boat, he has arrived at the height
of his ambition. and therefore is no wonder at
his marrying early; but why be pitches on an
old maid, instead Of a young girl, is not so
easily accounted for. unless it be that young
men have peculiar affection for old MAIDS. as
old men have peculiar affection for young

Senator BIgIer,s Bill.

Hon. William Bigler has: introduced into
the U S. Senate. bill for the protection of
the States and Territories from INVASION
The following is synopsis of its most inpor-
tant provisions. The bill has evidently been
prepared with much care, and is eminently
worthy of the distinguished conservative and
patriotic statesman who is its author. We
hope it will become law during the present
session of Congress. The Developments that
have been made since the Harper's Ferry in
surrection, show that there are men in the
Northern States, thoroughly ly organic ed for the
purpose of invading the Southern States and
liberating the slaves. Nothing will prevent
them from attempting this, but the certainty
of defeat, and prompt and rigorous punish
ment; 5rr .7..-
SECTION 1.-Provides that whenever apy
State or Territory is invaded, or is in immi-
nent danger of invasion from external or in
ternal foes. that it shall be lawful for the
President of the United States to call ou. the
m ilitia from the State or States nearest to the
point of danger and, also. to employ the
land or naval force of the United States.
SECTION 2.-Provides that any person
actually engaged, or. participating in car
rying on hostile military expedition from
one State or Territory against another. shall
be adjudged guilty of treason, and suffsr
death.

having knowledge Of such treason, and shall
neglec. to disclose the same at the earliest
moment. shall be adjudged guilty of mispris-
ion of treason, aud shall be fined sum not
exceeding one thousand dollars. and be i'm
prisoDed for term not exceeding seven
years. -
SECTION 4-G;ves power 70 the Presi-
dent to seize and detain any vessel fitted out
by one State against another, for hostile pur-
poses
SECTION 5-Provides that any mater
ials, arms, valuables, &c, found in such
vessel shall be forfeited, one-half to the
government, and the other half to the infor-
ner.
SECTION 6-Provides that any person
furnishing or providing means and money
for such hostile sexpeditons shall be deem
ed guilty of felony, fined sum not ex-
ce"ding $4,000, and be imprisoned not over
ten years.

such hostile service shall be,fned not over

They deny that to own Slaves is violation

1t would not, we are certain. be a difficult
matter to find many sincere Christians among

The Black Republican party ought to try
and get along witEout dragging religion into
the political arena. Religion has boiler work to
perform than that of promoting the success of
any political organization. While the devo-
tees of ambition are blowing down to their
IDOL" she is holding out to all, to the slave
as we'll as master, an immortal crown which
when secured, will more than compensate for
all the suferings it is possible for human
being to endure in this world. There is prob
ably no place among men, where she is sell
domer found than in the conventicles Of sell
fish politicians.
As we hinted at the commencement of this
article. the democratic party neither defends
nor condemns slavery in the abstract. 1t
contends that il slavery is moral, social and
political evil, the inhabitants of the Southern
States the slave owners are the only suffer-
ers. 1t is one of their domestic institutions,
and they have the right to regulate and con-
troll it. 1t is a matter with which We of the
North have nothing to do. And even if the
assertion of the Abolitionists be true, that it
is crime, it is one which will not '.be laid to
