THE Massachusetts, was
threatened by the whole power Of the ar
my and navy if she resisted the fugitive
slave law. Kansas was overcome by u.
S. Troops when the border ruffiians en-
deavored to su5due free state men and
force slavery into the territory. An army
was sent across the Western plains to put
down rebellion among the Mormons, and
when Judge Williams of Kansas got
frightened at the shadow Of Capt Mont
gomery and few Regulars, Gen. Harney
with a regiment of soldiers was sent to
capture him. If to-day Massachusetts
stood in the attitude that South Carolina
now stands, and South Carolina remained
loyal, Boston harbor would be blockaded
bv a naval feet and forts in the harbor
would swarm with soldiers.
But how is it with South Carolina ?
She dictates to the President what he may
and what he may not do. She torbids him
to send any more troops to Charleston,
and the poor old granny does not do it be-
cause he is afraid somebody will assassin
ate him He invests Fort Moultrie with
few men who know they must perish in
its defence or yield ingloriously to superb
or uum bers.
When Col Anderson asks for assistance
to protect government property and laws
he is told that he cannot have it. Bu-
chanan receives into his confidence Sc
cession leaders and affords them every op-
portunity to weaken and destroy the gov
ernment. He sends a private messenger
to the secession convention who returns to
report, without making public what are
the plans OF the secessiOnists. Was there
ever such treachery as this in our govern
ment. If buchanan sat on the throne of
France or England his head would roll
under the axe in less than fortnight
1t is fortunate for him that our country
affords no Robespierre, Danton or Marat,
while 1t is sadly unfortunate, for the coun-
try that such an imbecile traitor must
continue IN power TWO months longer

The Crisis.

There is no use crying "Pe ace Pence"
when there is no Peace South Carolina
and hor sister States seem determined to
plunge the country into civil war, and
the people should prepare for any unfore-
seen emergency. Under the head of Let
the People ARM" the Pittsburg Gazette
gives the following advice to the people
OF the North I'VE give this advice re-
mctantly. We have been 10th to believe
it necessary. But events are crowding
on us so rapidly and rendering it so nee
essary, that we can no longer refrain.--
The time has come when it would be Grim
inal to withhold it.
Our advice, therefore, to every North
ern man is, Arm yourself at once. If you
have gun, get it ready for use if you do
not own one, get one as soon as possible.
For it will take time to get one. The
North is, to-day, almost bare OF arms, and
ne who orders one to be made will have
to wait some time before his order can be
filed

Legislative and judicial action of Pensyl-
vania, whether as colony, member of
the old confederation, or under the exist
ing Constitution of the United States,
has been almost invariably Influenced bya
proper appreciation of her own obligations,
and by high regard for the rights, the
feelings and the interests Of her sister

The Legislature.

The Legislature Of Pennsylvania assem-
scmbled on Tuesday, the lst inst Elisha
W. Davis, Of Fenango county, was elected
Speaker of the House, receiving the Re
publican vote. L. II. Rauch, of the
Mauch Chnuk Gazette, was elected Chief
Clerk. In the Senate, Robert VI. Palm
er, of Schuylkill county, Republican, was
reelected Speaker, and Russell Errett
was reelected Chief Clerk. The Govern
ors Message, which we have not room to
publish, was read. The Governor devotes
considerable space to the discussion of
our national affairs, and says that the doc
trine of the advocates Of secession, "that
this Union is merely compact between
the several States composing it, and that
any one of the States, which may feel
agGr:eved, may, at its pleasure, declare
that it will no longer be a party to the
contract, is clearly erroneous." He like
wise denies the charge that PENNSYLVANIA
has refused compliance with that man
Fate of the Constitution of the Usited
States which declares ''that no person held
to service or labor in one State, under the

therein, be discharged from such service

THE PUBLIC CREDIT-It seems to be
overlooked by the projectors of the
Southern Confederacy" that the theory
on which it is formed and founded must
ever be as fatal to the public credit of
such an aggregation of States as its prac
teal exercise by South Carolina has
proved fatal to that of the present Union.
The Federative Government which once
admits the right of secession on the part
OF Its constituents, can from that moment
give no guarantees which will command
the confidence Of capitalists Still less
can government, founded by virtue of
this principle, and therefore pledged to
Its recognition, expect to borrow money
Jn such shifting and uncertain basis Of
political organization. As at any moment
a capricious State might, by her secession.

foundation to utter confusion and over

JUSTICE AT LAsT-J at last has
been or will be done to Hon John VI.
Butler, Republican,) in the contest be-
tween Mr.. B. and Mr.. Lehman. Demo
crat,) for the seat in Congress for the lst
district Of Philadelphia. On Monday last
the ballot boxes Of the 9th, 7th, and Sth
precincts Of the 4th ward were brought
and opened before Alderman Emu, when
an honest recount of the ballots showed
that instead Of majority of l35 for Mr.
Lehman, MIR. Butler was clearly elected
by 126 majority. 1t was found that in
rolling up the tickets in bundles of ten,
in the usual loose way, the swindling elec-
ton officers had placed the tickets of
Judge King and of Mr.. Butler in the bun
dies Of Lehman's tickets The same fraud
had been perpetrated against the other
Republican candidates. Hubert Conwell,
one Of the inspectors of this election, had
been convicted perpetrating like yillany
in the same ward in 1856, to cheat Mr..
Mann as District Attorney. Gov Packer,

ity Of proclaiming the election of Mr..
Lehman to Congress, although Mr. Butler
had the certificate to which he is now
proved to have been entitled. Dispatch.

GOV. FLOYD AS APUBLIC PLUNDERER
The y. \. Times gives Gov. Floyd, the
late Secretary Of War, the following first
rate notice on his retirement from Office A.:
'Secretary Floyd, beyond all question,
deserves tHpeuchHent-not onl + in con-
nection with these transactions, but for
the general conduct of his Department.
We believe it to be susceptible of proof
sufficient to satisfy the whole country
that he has used his office systematically
for purposes Of plumber and personal
profit. 1t Is notorious that he came to
Washington utterly bankrupt; and it is
equally notorious in financial circles. that
he has deposited with Washington bank
er more than SiUO 900. to his private
account since he has been in Office. 1t IS
utterl Y impossible that he should have
accumulated anything like this amount
OF money, by any means consistent with
duty as an officer OF the government. or
with the character Of an honorable and an
honest man. The power of his Office has
been used corruptIy His favors have
been sold to contractors, and black mail
has been cXacted a the condition Of his
compliance with the Just requisitions Of
law. We believe II to be susceptible Of
proof that an officer Ct the army has been
compelled to pay 5000 to an intimate and
confidential agent of the Secretary, as
condition Of getting Mr.. Floyd's signature
to a warrant for payment Of claim which
had been audited and allowed 1t fcIly
to attempt to screen Mr.. Floyd himself
from responsibility for such exactious. In
the specific case to which We refer. Mr..
Floyds attention had been called TO the
claim repeatedly for six months-yct his
signature could not be had Upon advice
the $500 was paid to his confdantc, and
the signature was affixed the next day"

The Travels Of Columbus after His
Death,

II would seem that the body Of this il.
lustrious traveller is destined TO as much
vicissitude as its owner had. We have
lately stated that Columbus remains are
about to be removed TO splendid new
cemetery at havana. The New Orleans
Picoyune gives the following interesting
account OF the body's travels:
Columbus died Ascension day, the goth
Of May, 1906, in about the seventeen
year of his age. His obseques were cee-
brated with great pomp AT Valladold, aud
his body deposited in the convent, of San
Francisco. Thence, nine years after, in
the year 1913, it was removed TO the Car
thusiah monastery of Seville, where like
wise was deposited the body Of his son
Diego. Twenty-three years after, in the
year 1856, the bodies Of both the Adm-
raj and his son were removed, with ap-
propriate pomp and ceremonies, to the
New Would he had discovered, and in
TERED in the principal city of San Domin,
90, Hispaniola. There they remained un-
dis urbed for period o. 959 years.
In the year 1895, however, at the close
Of the war between France and Spain. all
of Hispaniola were ceded TO France,
whereupon request was preferred TO the
French Governor 10 have The remains Of
Columbus removed to Cuba. The re-
quest was granted, and on the 21st of De-
cember, 1795, the vault in the Cathedral
of San Domingo was for the first time in
nearly three hundred years opened

lock, the key OF which was delivered to
the Archbishop. The case was inclosed
in coffin, covered with black velvet, and
ornamenled with lace and fringe Of gold.
After appropriate funeral ceremonies,
the body was taken on board the ship San
Lorenzo and taken to Havana, where it
arrived on the l5th of January, 1895. It
was received in the most solemn manner,
with all the honors given to sovereign,
On arriving at the mole, the remains were
met by the Governor of the Island accom-
panied by his general and military staff.
The coffin was then conveyed between
files OF soldiery, which lined the streets,
to the obelisk in the place d'Armes, where
it was received in hearse prepared for
the purpose. Here the remains were for
mally delivered to the Governor and the
Captain General of the Island, the key
given up to him, the coffin opened and ex-
amined, and the safe transportation OF lis
