Our State Senator,

The resolutions adopted by the Senate
Of this State relative to the maintenance of
the Constitution and the Union, met with
a singular opposition on the part Of few
patent democrats, among whom was our
Senator, DR., Crawford The Sd, which
passed unanimously, endorsed Gen. Jack
sons views against the right of secession.
The 9Th is in the following words
s. Res0ired, That all plots, conspiracies
and warlike demonstrations against the Uni
ted States, IN any section Of the country, are
reasonable in their character, and whatever
power OF the government is necessary for
their suppression, should be applied to that
purpose without hesitation or delay.
We had not supposed there was within
the length and breadth of Pennsylvania a
man who would raise single objection
against such resolution, yet we find that
four so called democratic Senators-Blood.
Crawford, Schindel and Welsh-recorded
their names against it, thus impliedly say
ing that plots, conspiracies and warlike
demonstrations against the United States
are not reasonable and ought not to be
suppressed! Whatever the motive that
urged the Senator from this district to re-
cord vote in effect endorsing the South
Carol ma treason, we think he ought not to
utter word of complaint should some rob-
bers plot or conspire together to rob his
dwelling or his pocket, as they would but
be carrying out against an Individual the
sentiments he appears to hold respecting a
government. Truly We have fallen on
strange times

A GRAND INQUEST IN SEARCH OF TREASON

A GRAND INQUEST IN SEARCH OF Treason.
Judge Smalley's charge in the New York
United States District Court in reference to
treason is having results. James Z. Kerri-
gan, member of Congress elect and John A
Kennedy, Superintendent Of the Police, on
Thursday attended before the Grand Jury of
the Circuit Court in order to testify in regard
to any armament being fitted out for the
southern ports, thus giving aid and comfort
to the enemies of the United States Govern
ment. A recent visit Of Mr. kerrigan to
South Carolina, with the rumored intention
of lending cooperation to the Secessionists,
and offering the assistance of New York
volunteer corps, is understood to be the ground
on which the Grand Jury called him to ap-
pear before them. 1t is noticeable fact that
Judge Smaliey was the Chairman of the Com
mittee of Arrangements for the Democratic
National Convention which met at Charles
ton, in May last.

a False Shirt.

The greatest difficulty in the road of an
amicable adjustment of our National diff
culties, is undoubtedly the course of sun
dry newspapers and members ofthe so-cal-
led democratic party. Not content with
having for years misreprescnted the Peo-
pies and Republican party as favoring ne
gro equality, abolitionism, waging war on
the South, and other charges equally des-
tltute of truth, honesty, or religion, they
continue this contemplate partisan course
towards every one who advocates any meas
ure calculated to allay the feeling OF scces-
sion in the border States, and to all intents
justify open treason. Every liberal or pa
triotic sentiment is met with a taunt. " So.
you are backing down." " You see what
gon haVe brought the country to" &c.
The members Of the Peoples Party in this
State are largely in the majority; they
have passed no obnoxious or unconstitu-
tional laws, and have done naught except
= d"f at a party which many Of its best
."aoers acknowledged to be governed by
'e.,oa and corrupt leaders, and we submit
II sa aH GOOD citizens whether taunts and
.n-a..s ua more likely to produce concilia-
s ..eIlags than credit for patriotism

who do care for their country, whether il
is not time to stop the mouths of these po
litical hounds?

Great .Sa0tc Storm az Eufope-The
advent of Christmas brought to Western
Europe one Of the most severe snow storms
ever experienced Accounts of its raya-

the well known mctcorologist, says that the
cold which cnsucd was perhaps the most
extraordinary ever known in England On
Christmas day the thermometer was eight
degrees below zero near London, and else
where it is reported as having been still
lower. The rivers were full of floating
ice, and skating was as common in London
as in New York. The quantity of snow
which fell in places is said to have exceed
ed two feet The storm appears to have
travelled over all Western and Southern
Europe. At Turin the Raumur thcrmom-
eter indicated eight degrees below zero

Hired Hands-The RussellVille, (Ky.)
Herald says that the proprietors of the iron
works on the Cumberland river are hiring
no hands this year, in consequence of the
unsettled condition Of the country, which
had a tendency on New Years day to
bring down the prices usually asked in that
section for negro men. Negroes generally
hire at much lower rates than usual, and a
large number of men, women, boys and
girls are still unhired.

Remarkable Case-A Aady IN a
Trunce.-The Pittsburg Gazette gives an
account of remarkable case of suspension
of vitality in Wheeling. A lady, residing
in that city, who had been lying i'll for a
long time, died to all appearances on Sat
urday night of week before last, and the
necessary preparations were made for in-
terment. Itwas discovered, however, when
the body was about to be placed in the cof-
fin, that it still retained its natural warmth
This, of course, occasioned great surprise,
and efforts were made to restore animation,
but without success The unfortunate
woman still remains in the same condition,
and as yet no signs of decomposition have
appeared, although some six or eight days
have elapsed since death was supposed to
have taken place. The case has excited
no little interest among the leading physi-
clans of the city and vicinity.
