gsy. by private letters, received since
the announcement ofCol. John VI, Crockett,
we are pleased to learn that this name is
received every where, with grca, approba-
ton.
Col Crockett has great strength ON the
frontier. II was but n few years ago when
Dallas County was on the border and it
was during those early days of Trial and
suffering that Col. Crockett developed
many of those qualities that have SO Gu
dcarcd Him 10 the people, lie has always
been true to them, and having suffered the
hardsLips of frontier life himself, lie
knows how TO sympathisc with those who
are exposed.

Wchave received IL lellcr from Mr.. J. p.
Sawyer, the great Texas stage man, dated
Montgomery, May %, from which we learn
that the Postmastels General refused TO en-
ter into contract with him for carrying
the mails between Houston and New Orleans,
via Brashear New iberia, and Orange, al
Lodging that the price asked was too much.
Mr.. Sawyer says he went over the route,
and found the distance between the termini
of the stage line to be 1G5 miles; the road
tolcrably good in dry weather bridges to
be built, sc. There is nothing raised on
the whole line Tor man OF beast, except
crawtish and mosquitocs-aU other proven
der will have to come from New Orleans or
Texas, as well as lumber fer stables, andall
other necessaries for stocking Il stage line.
The Postmaster at New Orleans ccrtIics
that there would be some 1900 pounds Of
daily mail matter and to stock the road
so as to be able 70 carry this weight to-
gether with passengers, would cost about
$4,000. On there data, and in considera-
tion of the fact that it might be but a short
time before the blockade would be raised, or
steamers might run from Brashcar to
Sabine, and thus draw off the passenger
carriage, the contractors to transport the
mail from New Orleans to Houston daily,
for sum $4,000 less than has been here
tororc paid the steamship line. IKE price
was considered by Mr.. Reagan too high,
and he therefore declined to enter into the
contract. Texas is, therefore deprived of
regular communication with New Orleans,
at least for time.
In view of these facts, Mr.. Sawyer advi-
scs us to urge all Texans to remain at home
and be ready to rcpel any attack our enc
mics may make on our territory. Nhlch
advice we regard as sound, and well worth
needing. Cut off as we now are from all
aid from other States, Texas may at any
moment require the services of all her sons
We urge them, therefore to prepare ana DC
ready, and not seek other fields OF battle

Hos. r. b. llunnAGp.-By especial re-
quest this gentleman addressed the citizens
of Dallas, OF Saturday night in behalf of
the "Juckson Association This Associa-
tion has for its object the raising of coniri-
buttons for the erection of a monument, TO
the memory of James Jackson, who was
killed in Alexandria, while defending his
home and The honor Of the Confederate
flag.
The effort of Col. Hubbard, on this oc-
casion, was cminently worthy of his well
deserved reputation as an orator We
listened to his speech from beginning to
end, and at its conclusion, We felt that
nothing could be added to increase its
beauties or magnify its merits. The orator
was most fclicitous iu the gorgeous INA gerry
of his conceptions as well as in the sound
and mastery arguments he adduccd on
every subject touched npon. Col. Hubbard
ffis won for himself fresh laurcls, and icny,
long, may lie wear and enjoy them.

Wendell Phillips, the notorious abolition
ist, made speech at the Music Hall, on
Sunday, January goth 1861; which is
published in Garrison's Li6erator of Jan
uary 25th ult., we find on looking over it
sixteen places where the Reporter marks
applause" applause and laughter, "
cloud applause, with cries of good, "
speech was abolitionism, coercion, John
Brown and Disunion. "The Union, =" says
Mr.. Phillips, ''is a failure" Again, 81
believe sudden, conclusive, definite dis
union, resulting in the abolition, in the
disruption of the Northern mind from all
connection with it, all vassalage to it, i'm
maedsately, would be a better, healthier,
and more wholesome cure, than to let the
Republican party exert this gradual inAu-
ence through the power of the government
for thirty or sixty years" And as fitting
conclusion to such discourse, Mr.. Phil
lips ended with the following choice par
agraph - 4 -..'
All hail, then, Disuuion "Beautiful on
the mountains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings, that published
peace, that saith unto Zion, Thy God
reigneth." The sods of Bunker Hill shall
be greener, now that their greater purpose
is accomplished. Sleep in peace, martyr
OF Harper's Ferry your life was moi
given in vain. Rejoice, spirits of Fayette
and Kosciusko the only stain upon your
swords is passing away. Soon, through
out all America, there shall be neither
power nor wish to hold slave.

He was a native Of Northumberland

Andrew Kennedy the elder, and went with
John Binns to Phia,, as a pressman.
After working in various places, he pub
lished paper at Danviile, at Bloomsbury,

in Lewisburg, styled the Gazette, in the
large stone building where Dennis Phillips
now lives. For a few years afterwards,
he printed the Times, at New Berlin, for

We print elsewhere in our columns, with
great satisfaction, the proceedings Of our
newly formed democratic Association. u
1t is sensible move in the right direction,
(Which should have been made long since,
but is better late than never, } and we fondly
hope, it will be properly conducted and
generally attended, and must eventuate in
the permanent organization of the Demo
cratic Party of Columbia. We trust our
Democratic fellow.citizens, in town and
country, will give this organization their
appreciation and support, by which all
who love the fundamental principles Of
Constitutional equality may mutually share
its benefits and aid in the perpetuity Of a
Democratic form of Government.

The Presidents Sp eciaI Message

We publish to-day the message of the
President of the United States, communi-
eating the resolutions of the Virginia Leg
islature. 1t speaks in approving terms
of these resolutions, and recommends them
to the favorable consideration of Congress.
The president counsels Congress to abstain
from any legislation looking to coercion
and collision, and says that his policy is
purely defensive. He thinks that there
will be no likelihood of collision, If the
seeding States can be prevailed upon to
observe moderation. The President does
not despair of the preservation of the I'm
ion, but hopes, despite the threatening as
pect of affairs, that satisfactory settle.
ment may yet be made.

Contemplated improvements

We propose making important improve
ments upon the opening of the Twenty
Fifth Volvme of the I" Columbia Democrat.
A gentleman Of high literary ability-whe
is also forcible writer-of considerable
Editorial experience, will assume the en-
tire conduct of the Local Department.
And another gentleman has kindly agreed
to furnish us with weekly correspondence
from the City. ..... .......-.
Improvements will also be made in the
mechanical department of the old ''Dens-
ocrat." The TYPE will partially be re-
newcd. We shall also, life and health
permitting, devote our own time and ener-
gies more exclusively to its conduct and
management.
This is the Oldest institution in the coun
ty of Columbia. 1t is the soundest demo-
cratic journal in Northern Pennsylvania.
We trust our friends and fellow citizens
will yield it increasing patronage.

In TIE Senate on Tuesday last, resolu
tions were passed enabling the Governor
to appoint seven Commissioners to repre-.
sent Pennsylvania in the Convention to be
held at Washington, on the 4th of Feb
ruary, at the suggestion of Virginia. -
These resolutions, which were reported
from the Committee on Fed eral Relations,
seem to have been passed with the special
view of preventing any good result from
the conference. The Commissioners are
clogged with certain instructions which
must defeat a satisfactory agreement.
They are not to consent to an amendment
OF the Constitution they are to demand
guarantees for the security of Northern
men in Southern States and, in short,
they are not permitted to yield in any
