The REPUBLICAN CREED.-Gov. Robinson OF
Kansas notoriety, a leading Black Republican,
says the creed of the Republican party is, to
make league with the Devil, if he will agree to
support Black Republcanism." The Republ-
cans are ready to support any man, no matter
how ignorant or deprayed, who endorses their
creed They profess to be opposed to the ex-
treme doctrine of the Abolitionists, yet the most
ultra AbolitioniSts are leading members of the
Republican party, and control its conventions
dictate its platform and nominate its candidates
" 1t does not draw a vital breath, and never did.
outside of this atmosphere of aati-Slavery and
Abolitionism." 1t is sectional party, whose
purposes are reasonable, and whose leaders are
dishonest and corrupt.-Hountain Democrat.

STEAMER Day Steamer day is, and long
has been, a trouble to business men, and many
there are, who would ssrejoice if it had never
been. The San Francisco Herald, of Saturday
says in referring to the tri-monthly steamers:
:" The first assault has been made upon
" steamer day" and it will probably be follow
ed up until ar end is put to the system. A great
many merchants refused yesterday to acknowl-
edge it as steamer day. while others made no
objection. Those who regard it as steamer
day will probably refuse to consider the first
of next month in that light. The consequence
is there will be so many different Steamer days
that they will lose their identity and peculiar
significance in the course of short time.

WHAT OLD ABE" THINKs.-When canvassing
Illinois against Douglas, in 1853, he announced
the sentiment which was afterwards elaborated
by Seward, at Rochester, N. Y. Lincoln, in
his speech at Springfield, June II, 1858, said
In my opinion it (the slavery agitation)
will not cease, until crisis shall have been
reached. A house divided against itself cannot
stand. believe this government cannot endure
permanently, halfslave and half free."

The Signs of the Times.

We give up much space in to-days paper to
the News from Washington and the Southern
States. The news from that quarter is indiea-
tive of trouble. serious and lasting trouble. Nc
less than five slave States are assuming an atli-
tude of open hostility to the General Govern
ment. Each, by an exercise of undoubted SOW
ereign power, has authorized or is about to au-
thorize, delegate convention of its people, to
consider questions of the gravest concern TO the
whole Union; and all of those States threaten,
by an exercise of power clearly denied by the
plainest import of the constitution, to throw off
their allegiance TO the Federal Government,
some absolutely for what they claim has already
occurred, and others on the happening of events
which will inevitably occur.
Whatever may have been The real motives in
times past, it can no longer be disguised that
the leaders of the disunion movement are now
animated by reasonable purpose to break up
this Government. That their plans, intricate
and formidable as it may be, will be finally
frustrated, is our earnest hope, but that they
will be, we have serious fears to the contrary
We shall not be surprised if Congress is broken
up in less than month. and in its train follow
the greatest calamity of the age, the disruption
of our Government.

Presidents Message.

We published this document in an Extra on
Thursday last. By this time our subscribers nave
all had chance of reading it, and all those that
did SO, have formed their opinion as to It's mer-
its or dement's. The Presidents opinions and
his course of policy toward such OF the South
ar, STATES as are threatening dis-union, were,
yerv naturally, looked for with great degree
of importance. He has disappointed every one.
The South expected to be rebuked, and the
North hoped that he would enforce the laws
apainst them. President BUCHANAN clearly
proves, says Mr.. SEWARD, speaking of the Mes
sage, and It's the best commentary we have
seen upon it-"fhat no State has right to Sc
cede unless it wishes to, and that it is the Pres
ident's duty TO enforce the laws unless some-
body opposes him."
The Message is ridiculed by both parties
The President has placed himself in the position
of man trying 10 ride two horses going in op.
posite directions. He is for while for the
South, then he is for the North. He SAYS first
that South Carolina has just cause for secession
then he says she has no right to secede. Thirt
That we have no right to prevent her seeding
That is the amount of the Message, substantial
". Then the President goes on to represen
this as great and powerful country, and tha
no State has right to secede from it; and al
thepower of the country consists-in what Dick
ems makes the English Constitution consst-th
power to do nothing. It was incumbent on tn
President of the United States to have pointed
-out and recommended to Congress some rule
and to have told them what he recommended
fthem to do. The only way TO escape the dan
ger is to look it in the face and the country die
expect from the President some exposition o
decided policy.

Matters at Washington.
NEW YORK. Dec, l


Washington Times correspondent says
Mr.. Trescott, bearer of the Presidents
Message to South Carolina, was also charg-
ed with the duty of consulting the State
authorities as to their purposes after the
ordinance of secession was passed. Ho
returned last evening, and reports every
thing quiet, and no danger Of collision
with the federal government.
To-day the arrangement is pefected, and
things remain in statu quo until after the
commissioners shall failed TO arrange for a
peaceable separation.
Secretary Thompson will soon follow Mr..
Cobb. He entered his office to day, but
did nothing more than look over a few let
ters on his table.
Secretary Cobb has at last resigned, but
his successor has not been nominated; al
though rumor says differently.
One report is that Mr.. Guthrie has been
named, an another, that Mr.. Holt takes the
treasuary, and Hon. L. O. B. Branch takes
the Post Office department. Still another
rumor is that Mr.. Schell goes into the Cab.

A messenger from South Carolina ar
rived to-day, bringing the vote Of that
State for President for the ensuing foul
years. He delivered the vote and drew
the pay for his services.
The Herald's correspondent says Mr.
Buchanan has rendered the office of Secre
tary of the Treasury to Mr. Guthrie, ex
Secretary of the Treasury under President
Pierce, and he has accepted by telegraph
By authority is so high character that
cannot doubt the report.
The Worlds correspondence says:

Holt will be transferred to the Treasury
and Mr.. King, now lst Asst. will be made
P. NJ. General Erastus Corning is also
named as the successor of Mr.. Cobb.
Messrs. Miles, Benham and McQueer
called upon the President to-day, and hat
a long consultation with him with regart
to the secession of South Carolina, and the
terms upon which she will go cut of the

WThe Editor of the Coshocton Age calls
Holmes county "the meanest Locofoco hole in
America The Editor will please consider
himself challenged for thus disrespectfully
speaking of our county.
1t is true Holmes county is largely Locofoco,
and It's also true, that there are some "mighty
mean" men amongst them, but there are also
among them, some as clever, generous, whole
souled men as you can find anywhere. Since
we came into their midst, many of them have
lain us under obligation TO them by acts of
kindness which we never hope to forget.
