How TO TURN THE WORLD ToPsY
TURvEY.-Let the Abolitionists 60 on i'll
their plan of turning loose 4 900 900 indo'
lent negroes, and destroy the production
of cotton. Some ten millions of white pco,
pie would be thrown out of employment,
clothing would advance in price at least
100 per cent Poor people would have to
60 back to linscy woolsey. Sugar would
cost about 25 cents per pound. Northern
grain and provisions, now extensively con
sumed South would have no market there.
The negroes would spread over the North
to fill the alms.ho and be supported by
white labor, or underworld it. Civilization
would be put back a hundred years. Re.
publican institutions destroyed, aud our
country follow in the footsteps of Mexico
and Central America, where hideous and
disgusting mongrelism has made the fair
est country in the world shell upon
earth,"-Greens5u,g Democrat

An AMATEUR WARRIoR.-By reference
to letter from one of our correspondents,
it will be obs erved that Hon. ii. D, Fos,
ter of this place, paid the llth Regt' h
visit, and while there, the Regiment ro-
ceived orders to advance. The General,
desrous of accompanying them, was fur
nished with a revolver, and marched
seven miles on foot, "with the rest of the
soldiers" "Seccsh" not being about, they
returned to camp sadly disappointed at not
having a "scrimmage" with the "F. f.
VS." "Surely, had some of the of F.
VS." come in contact with them, the re-
volver would certainly have done its share
you can bet high on that. Bully for
the Geperal." "-Pennsylvania Argus,

Let us, on the cantrary, think only to
keep ourselves spotless before the world:
that thus, come what else may, our beloved
country shall emerge purified from the
fire of affliction, sancti6hd by suffering,
with loftier and nobler throbs Of national
life than heretofore, and ready to resume,
reinvigorated, the career CT greatness side
by side with the proudest Of the powers
of Europe.
To conclude, then: In my judgement,
the act of Captain Wilkes was one which
any and every self-respectiug nation must
and would have done, by its own sover-
eign right and power, regardless of con-
sequences, 1t was an aet which, it cannot
be doubted, Great Britain would have
done under the same circumstances. At,
the same time, it was an act amply JUST.

sy- The Pctersons, Philadelphia, pub
lish Rife Ward Beechers "Thanksgiving
Sermon" entitled, "War and Emancipa.
tom Beecher does the State one service,
in admitting that, consttutionally, neither
Congress nor the President can abolish
slavery; but he is undoubtedly wrong in
holding that it can be done as "miltary
necessity" in spite of constitutional diff
culties. We need not argue the point, it
is enough to state it. Mr.. Bccchcr is
right again when he admits that slaves are
"property"-a proposition that was scout
ed by republicans few years, nay months
ago-but he is arguing like school boy
when he claims that SLAVE property should
be treated by the government differently
from any other property. Property IS
property, neither more Lor less. If cotton,
or horses belonging to the rebels come
into the hands of the Federal government
it is sold, and the proceeds go to dcfraying
the expenses Of the war; but Bcccher
claims that when you get the same amount
of property in niger" you must
"emancipate" it. The pate Of Beecher is
added upon the Niger question. Beecher
is wrong again when he says that emonci-
pation "chimes with northern popular i'm
pulse" That thing was tried before the
late northern elections and the result was
a most tremendous defeat of these republi-
cans. We gave the figures a few weeks
ago
On the whole the sermon is unfair, lilo
gical and to a certain eatent untrue but
the days Of abolitionism are over. sold

Charles r. Buckalew.


The many friends and admirers Of this
gentleman are pleased to learn that he has
returned to his home in Columbia county,
after representing the United States in
Ecuador, with his health re-established.
We know of no man in the State of Penn.
sylyania who is better entitled to the dcs-
ignation Of STATESMAN than CHARLES r.
BucKALEw-and we use the term in the
highest and best sense as distinguished
from the mere politician, manager or in.
triguer. He is man who recalls the
former and better days of the republic,
when individual merit and capacity were
the only recognized passports to public po-
sition-before political schemers made a
trafc of politics by introducing the debas.
ing and corrupting practices through which
inferior men have literally purchased sta.
tions for which they are totally untitled by
nature, character or education. As q
member Of the Senate of Pennsylvania, Mr..
BucKALEw displayed capacity of the high
est order, and was recognized as the lead
ing mind of that body when it contained
men Of whom the State had reason to be
proud. Always cool and dispassionate he
brought vigorous intellect to bear upon
every public question, and invariably COM
manded the respect and attention Of his
opponents, if he did not succeed in convin-
cling their Judgment. The readiness and
throughness with which he discussed every
subject, no matter how suddenly sprung
upon his attention, excited remark and
admiration and so exhaustive were his
arguments that they always bore to obser-
vers the impress of careful study and prep
aration. In the midst of the most exciting
debates his perfect GOODNESS and the entire
absence of personal feeling were conspicu-
Gus characteristics. During years ser.
vice in the Senate, though he took lead
ing part in every important debate, we
doubt whether he ever said word calcu-
lated to wound the feelings of any of his
antagonists or to excite personal animosity
towards himself-thus showing the temper
as well as the intellect of statesman.
Mr.. BUcKALEw is not the style of
man to intrigue and form combinations for
the purpose of attaining public position
He will be recommended by nothing but
merit of the highest order; and if the
Democratic party should ever have the op.
portunity of sending him to the United
States Senate, we trust that they will not
neglect it, for he would take foremost
position in any dcliberative body in the
world, and be credit to the State and the
nation.
In responding most heartily and cordial.
ly to the foregoing, from the Harrisburg
Patriot d. Union, we do not mean to dis
courage those Democrats who believe Mr..
BUCKALEw the fttest man in the State to
fill the Office of Governor, as well as the
most available candidate for the position.
We know that this is not in consonance
with his own feelings, but it really seems
to US as though the public interests de-
mand it at this time. At least the public
make mistake when they allow States
man of his ability, irmness and purity to
remain in private life.

UyIoN MEETINGS. Last Friday evening Judge
SSAxPIE. Delivered att Templar Hall what was
ddveftisea for a .Union" speech Not having
heard of the meeting, were not present
If we. raFsfj Judge from the reports of those who
heard it, it was regular Democratic stump
speech, such an one as might have been look
ed for from the most violent partisan in a hea-
ted canvass. The North was arraigncd as un-
fIitlifulrto the Federal compact; the Republi-
cans violently denounced and charged with
being responsible for all the troubles that now
affiict the country-treason was excused if not
justified and willingness expressed to accede
to any demands the rebels may be pleased to
make of us. The speaker has stood high with
ouE people as Judge and man, but this eff
fort has certainly not "added additional lus-
tre'' to his reputation.
Monday evening Hon. J r. HUBBEL replied.
His address, which was we'll received by a

upon them-and befitting and telling Iebuke
of the unmitigated funkeyism with which
the Friday evening harrague abounded.
