while it enfranchised the negroes by a
judicial ukase, il did not operate to

to define an e!ector is different and
much more definite. 1t is as follows:
Article 5, Sec. 1. "Every white
male citizen Of the United States, of

have been a, resident OF the State one
year next precedi1g tho osectlon, and
sf tho coaaty, s0wnshIp ot ward ii
which he.resides such time as may be
provided by law, shall have the quail
fcations OF al elector, and be entitled
to vote at all elections"
The qualification for voters in Ohio
was thus made the same as the quail
ficatiOn for citizens of the United
States. Who are citizens OF the
United States The Supreme Court
of the United States, in the Dred Scott
case, have clearly decided that no
african nor the descendant of an
african can be citizen of the United
States. How, then, can he be a quail.

O Women are often poor judges
Of men. If a man is simply agreeable
to a woman she is apt to invest him
with attributes which belong more to

A CHANGE ANTICIPATED.

IF the political lcadyrs in Washington fail in
patching up Il hollow truce by concession and com
%picmi'c, tie actions Of Buchanan and the Soath
will possibly aid in creating q northern backbone
When a change in feeling does come, when the
North speaks not in behalf of the Union, but firm
ly and unfinchingly in behalf Of herself, there
will BIO q reaction that will seem to trembling Con-
servatism as awful as the King Of Terrors.
The Bugle has been considered by some as VIC
lent, aggressive, uncharitable and f%anatical; but
would it be safe to say that the time will not come,
and is not even now near at hand. when 80 great
will be the change in northern sentiment that such
papers will be denounced as sp%iritlcss, non-agg7es-
sive, despicably palliative, and disgustingly con-
servatiye2
Greater and more marvellous changes have oc-
Cured. What yesterday was regarded as fanati.
cal ultraism, becomes transformed into conserya-
tism to-day; and the position which was in advance
Of public sentiment then, is in the rear of it now,

MR.. PILLsBURY IN SALEM.

We had a grand and impressive Lecture in
the Town Hall, on Sunday evening, frvm the above
named speaker, upon The aspect of the Times"
AT this period of panic and peril, when every eye
is turned to the dismontled snip of State, and
every dispatch received with fearful forebodings,
our people appeared glad to listen to one whose
power is commensurate with the task of d|elineat-
ing the signs of the times.
The audience was very large, the attention very
close, and the impression very deep. Applause Of
the most ultra sentiments was frequent, whilo the
5reathless silence that followed some Of his sub
lime utterances, made the house seem vacant. We
know rot how soon 1.-THE lesson oil! the hour" may
be forgotten, but if aspirations for a Letter politi.
cal existence, for 4 truer life, were not awakened
under that discourse, it is useless to labor for the
elevation Of the race.
Mr.. P~illsbury left Salem on the 25th inst, for
Chicago, designing to spend some weeks in the
West. If Anti-S!avery friends would call him to
the large towns and cities, q work Of immense i'm,
portance might be done at iho present time.

REMOVAL OF CANNON.

PIrrsBURGu, Dec. 81.
There is intense excitement to-day in conse-
quenco Of it being made public that u. S. Quar-
termasier TnliaCaro was negotiating 70. shipment
from the Allegheny Arsenal of rs guns to New.
port, near Galveston Island, Texas, and &c to ship
to an Island near Balize, mouth of the Mississippi,
the apparent object being to strip the Allegheny
Arsenal and place the guns where the secessiouists
could get Hem.
Maj. Symiugton, of Maryland, in command of
the Arsenal, declined giving the Press information
on the subject.
1t seems tho forts referred to, are new forts new
er yet mounted. These guns are designed for
their armament; tho gun carriages being made a,
WaterVillo, NY. These guns are ten inch Column
bans and thirty two Founders. Gov. MOorhead,
our member Of Congress, Immediately tclegraphod
to Mr.. Stanton, Chairman of Military Affairs, for
Information. Leading Democrats telegraphed to
Washington to have the orders co~untermanded
Saying that the people would not allow the guns
to DO removed.
A call is in circulation, addressed TO the Mayor,
to convene a meeting Of citizens to take action on
the matter. 1t will be held at Duqucsne Depot
Wednesday. The call is signed by men Of all par
ties. The feeling against allowing a gun to be re-
moyed South is almost unanimous. A report pre-

HARRINGToN.-We have read this work, and
been deeply interested in its perusal. Although
the style is open 10 the objections which We mon
toned in q previous article-needing some prun-
ing, as well as being too intense-yet these faults
are mOasurably forgotten in the interest of the
narrative, and the noble sentiments which speak
from its pages. 1t is not simply q deliniation Of
the horrors of slavery, but having indicated :hc
work that must be done, it teaches how to do it.
The most ultra doctrines, not only in re-
gard TO anti-slavery, but those pertaining to tho
equal rights of the sexes; are advocated with as
total an obliVioushess to the existence of Mrs.
Grundy as though her opinion was of the least
possible consequence. John Harrington is an un-
compromising abolitionist, who, like john Brown,
perils bis life for the slave, and in rescuing the flu
gitive Antony, receives a fatal wound. Muriel,
the heroine, is young, handsome, intellectual, ar
%tistic, and wealthy. By virtue of her wealth and
position her ultra anti=slavery Is regarded as a phi
lanthropic weakness, and her woman's rights doc
trine and practice an amusing eccentrici.y.
The work is an excellent reform agent, and will
make its marx wide and deep upon the present
generation. We wish for it an extensive circula.
ton, and those who desire to procure it, may as
certain how to do SO by referring to the pub
lisher's advertisement in another column,
