lowing correspondence between Gov. GIsT.
of South Carolina and Gov. Hicks, of Mary
land:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT., l..
UnionvilIe, S. c., Feb. 3, 1860.
To His Excellency Thomas I'll. Hicks, Gov
ernor of Maryland
Dear Sfr.-Yours of the 26th of January,
acknowledging the receipt of the resolutions
unanimously adopted by the State OF South
Carolina was received on yesterday, and /
must be permitted to correct q very grave
error into which you have fallen in relation
to them.
You speak of the resolutions as Requesting
this State (Maryland) to join in the appoint
ment of Deputies TO a Convention of the
slaveholding States, for their united action
in regard to secession from the Union" If
there is anything in the resolutions propos-
ing ga secession from the Union am un-
able TO find it, and deny that South Carolina
proposes any such measure to Maryland or
her other co-States. By reexamining the
resolutions you will find that all that South
Carolina proposes is that the slavehoidng
States should Immediately meet together to
concert measures for united action." and it
is a forced and understandable construction
of the resolution to say that 'concerted ac-
ton" means secession from the Union.
belong to that class of politicians who have
been denounced ..fre-eaters." and never
for moment have desired dissolution of
the Union if our rights in the Union are re-
spected and our equality recognized. And L
solemnly believe the very best way to pre-
serve the Union is for the Southern States to
meet and insist upon their rights and to act
in concert in defending them
Ii the South were united, they could pre-
serve the Union, and at the same time have
their rights respected and recognized. 1t is
because the Southern States have acted with
so much jealousy aud distrust toward each
other that the North has been able to encroach
upon their rights and war upon their insti-
tutions
If desired a dissolution of the Union and
wished TO effect it. nothing would please me
more than the refusal of the slaveholding
States to meet in convention, for then the
North will continueiis aggressions, and some
of tie slaveholding States, goaded to mad
ness, will secede. preferring to be held as
conquered provinces rather than become vol
untary slaves.
Speaking for myself. would rather 'South
Carolina should be the cemetery of freemen
than the habitation of slaves" and animated
by these sentiments, our people never will
submit to Inequality and degradation. With
great respect, L remain yours, &C.,
WM 81. GIsT.

THE AFTsMAN's JOURNAL,
LINCOLN ON SNAKES.

The following is one of Lincon's illustra-
tions. made in a speech at New Haven, Conn.
Speaking of the right and wrong OF slavery he
said:
ssThe other policy is one that squares with
the idea that slavery is wrong, and 1t consists
in doing everything that we ought to do if it
is wrong. Now 1 don't wish to be misunder-
stood, nor to leave gap down to be misrep-
resented, even. don't say that we ought to
attack it where it exists. To me it seems
that if we were to form government anew,
in view Of the actual presence of slavery, we
should find it necessary to frame just such
government as our fathers did, giving to the
shareholders the entire control where the sys-
TEN is established, while we possessed the
power to restrain it from going outside those
limits. IApplause.J From the necessities of
the case, we should be compelled to form just
such government as our blessed fathers gave
us; and, surely, if they have so made it, that
is another reason why we should let slavery "a
lone where it exists.
elf I saw a venomous snake crawling in the
road, any man would say l might seize the
nearest stick and kili it; but, if l found that

| another qustion. [Laughter.] might hurt
the children more than the snake, and the
snake might bite them. [Applause.1 Much
more, if l found it in bed with my neighbor's s
| children, and | had bound myself by a
solemn compact not to meddle with his chill
dren under any circumstances, it would be-
come me to let that particular mode of killing
the gentleman alone. [Great Laughter.] But
| if there is bed newly made up, to which the
| children are to be taken, and it was proposed
| to take batch of young snakes and put them
| in with them, take it, no man would say
there was question how | ought to decide.
| That is just the case The new Territories
arc the newly made bed to which our children
are to go, and it lies with the nation to say
whether they shall have snakes mixed up with
them or not. 1t does not seem as if there
could be much hesitation what our policy
should be. Applause.

The Emperor of the French is said to be
more and more dissatisfied with the Piedmon-
tese, who, his majesty seems to believe, are
Ito use vulgar phrase) sscoming the old SOL
dier over him." When Savoy was to be hand
ed over to France it is clear that it was not
the Savoyards who have been converted into
French citizens that were meant, but some
thing quite as valuable namely, the land that
bore them. Now, it is very we'll to fight for
an idea, but, after all, a bargain is bargain.
The Piedmontese do not appear to have as
good notion of this elementary maxim as
people at the Tuileries, and the former have
employed the interval before the ratification
of the treaty in selling, as fast as they can,
and to the highest bidder, not merely the per-
sonal property of Victor Emanuel, but the
Grown lands which should revert to France.
This is rather sharp practice. France, doubt
less, glories in her new subjects, but if they
bring nothing with them there will be matter
for complaint.

COL. CURTIN's PROSPECTS.

During our absence from home tbs past two
weeks, we had an opportunity of conversing
with many persons in the western part OF the
State, and all agreed in the opinion that Col
Curtin's prospects of election are of the most
flattering character, if the condition of affairs
in that section can be taken as an index to the
remainder. In Westmoreland county, where
Gen. Foster, the Democratic candidate, re-
sides, he will receive the full party vote, as he
will also in the balance of the Congressional
district to which that county is attached. We
are ever ready to give Gen. Foster all the
credit he deserves as a man and citizen; but
must insist on it that his friends who regard
him as an unusually popular candidate, are
greatly mistaken, nor will we be surprised to
hear of him being beaten from $4,000 to 90
900 west of the Alieghenies. This, however,
should not deter the friends of Col. Curtin
from keeping constantly at work, and making
every honorable exertion to give him a large
vote in the eastern part of the State. On the
other hand, let it encourage every one to "lay
his shoulder to the wheeP' and make the VIC
tory the more decisive and brilliant, and by
doing so secure the State for Lincoln and
Hamlin in November.

REPRooF FROM THE ANTPoDEs.-The
Poiynesian, published at Honolulu, copies into
its columns an account of a tragedy not long
since enacted in one of our Southwestern
Courts, and warns its readers against lapsing
into similar barbarism. 1t discourses very Sc
riously upon the state of society which prevails
in the United States, and rejoices in the fact
that murder is of comparatively rare occur
renee in Oahu. This voice from the Anti
podes should not be disregarded. Some years
since we sent out missionaries to Chrstianize
the Sandwich Islanders if they, in turn, find
it necessary to send emissaries to ciyilize us,
it augurs very little for the progressive state
of morals in this quarter of the globe. 1t is
not at all unlikely that the next missionary we
send to the Feejee Islands will rebound. An
other century may see tattoed Evangeists ad-
monishing us of the evil Of our ways, and ur-
ging US to repentance.

John Mitchell has written letter in which
he states that ssfor three years | have been la
boring in my sphere of journalism to break mp
the Democratic party" ssIt is impossible any
longer to belong to party which is dead and
gone, the soul having gone out OF it, and the
very body torn limb from limb. If had any
credit with my fellow conntrymen, | should
exhort them to seek new combnations-to
isolate themselves no longer as the Irish vote
to merge in the several organizations of
their fellow citizens, and be guided IN all pub
lie affairs by their own views OF right and the
political interests of the community in which
they live. For example, L should wish to see
Irish citizens of Northern States acting with
the party which desires protective tariff for
home industry, and also the largest possible
extent Of territory for the field of free labor.
If the South feel aggrieyed-as she well may,
she has her remedy.''

How TO DESTROY CATERPILLARs ON TREES.
A correspondent of one of our Agricultural
exchanges describes the mode by which he
kills caterpillars on trees. We give it for the
benefit of owners of ornamental shade and
fruit trees in our town: "Take small augur,
say inch to :, according to the size of your
trees, bore hole in the trunk of tree, and
fill with -four of sulphur, then plug up the
hole with a soft wood plug. The sulphur Cir
culates through the pores by means of the sap,
into the leaves-the caterpillars eat the leaves,
which causes almost instant death. 1 have
tried the above remedy, and have seen it tried
more than hundred times, and never knew it
to fail in single instance

ANOTHER FIENDIsH OUTRAGE.-On Wednes-
day afternoon of last week, a Mrs. Mills, wife
of Mr.. James Mills, who resides about four
miles from Ebensburg, while returning home
on horseback from visit to her mother, was
overtaken on by-road by man named Sam
uel Welsh, dragged from her horse and bru-
tally outraged. Welsh is peddler of earth
enware, glass, &C., from Allegheny City, and
had gone to Ebensburg to procure license
permitting him to prosecute his business with
in the limits of this county. Information of
the outrage was speedily made before JUS
tice in Ebensburg, warrant issued and placed
in the hands of officer Gageby of this Borough,
who, in company with Mr.. John 2. Jones, of
Ebensburg, came to Johnstown that night, and
arrested the fellow early the next morning in
his boat. He was returned to Ebensburg and
lodged in Jail. An Indictment was immedi-
ately laid before the Grand Jury, who found
true bill against him upon the charge of
rape. His trial has been deferred until next
term.-Cam6ria Tribune.

A VALUABLE LoG.-Recently the admins
traitors of Elisha Harris, decd, late resident
of Luzerne county, offered his effects at sale,
among them an uncouth block of wood, sup
posed to be a part of a cheese press, and
which was purchased for Is cents by David
Hatmacher. On the morning succeeding the
sale, the purchaser, in spirit of inquiry,
characteristic of the age we live in,'' split
the block open, when he discovered queer
secret drawer, opened by the pressure of a
long rod, and contained bonds, notes and 9TH
er matters, besides about $4,000 in silver
coin. To test the right OF ownership in the
treasure, ana micable suit for its recovery was
instituted in the Common Pleas of Luzerne
county, resulting in verdict for the execu-
tors for S ,000

THE HOMESTEAD BILL.-After several meet
'ings of the Committee of Conference on the
disagreeing votes of the Senate and House on
cussion on the various propositions, the Com
mittee reported that they were utterly unable
to agree, and asked for their discharge.
Thus ends the matter for the present. The
friends OF the Homestead bill know upon
whom the blame rests. The Republicans of
the Senate and House have done their best to
secure the passage of this benefcent measure,
but the democracy has effsctually prevented
them. The triumph of Lincoln alone can Sc
cure the success of measure to which the
people of the free North are SO much attached.

SPAULDING's PREPARED GLUE WoN'T HELP

gets off the following =
s'No matter what the result, though, it is
evident that the National Democratic party,
North and South, can never again be united
upon principles so long present political
issues are before the people. Every day de-
velops wider divergence between the two
wings, as Senator Clay, of Alabama, has shown
in recent letter, not only in regard to the
question of slavery In the Territories, but al
most every other question OF public interest.

last attempt to preserve mere national organ

magic virtues of sSpaulding's Prepared Glue

THE FATE OF THE TARIFF.-The MORRILL,
tariff bill, says the Pittsburgh Gazette, has
met the fate in the Senate which its enemies
have all along prophesied for it, and which its
friends feared was prophesied too truly. The
resolution to extend the session to the 25th,
has been adopted, but Mr.. Hunters resolution
to postpone the tariff bill until next winter
will prevail, by about the same majority as
that given for the amendment to the appro-
priation bill, authorizing loan of $50, 0,O0O,-
900 to fund tie outstanding Treasury notes.
This was part of the House tariff bill, but Mr..
Hunter has managed to tack it on to the civil
appropriation bill. The House, of course, will
strike it out, in the hope of bringing the Sen
ate to terms but the Senate will insist, at the
risk of losing the appropriation bill altogether.
There can be no doubt of the propriety of the
course that will probably be followed by the
House. If the administration is determined
that we shall not have the tariff, it should be
denied the power which it seeks of funding
the Treasury notes. These notes fall due on
the 1st of July, and the Government is with
out the means to redeem them. It's only re-
course is a loan ; and the power to make this
loan should be peremptorily refused by the
House unless the Democratic majority in the
Senate concede the tariff bill with it.. If the
administration will not voluntarily give what
is due to the suffering industry of the country
it should be coerced into it. 1t was with this
view that the House Incorporated the provis
ion for loan for funding the Treasury notes
in the Tariff bill, and we trust it will insist
upon keeping it there. No matter if the ap
preparation bill does fail. Let the Democratic
Senate take the responsibility of its failure
and the administration the burden of calling
an extra session, and then let the House sit, il
need be, until December, determined not tC
adjourn until the tariff bill is passed.
