Concession.

1t is not exactly the time to talk about
Concession and Compromise when six
States are In open rebellion against the
General Government, our forts and ar
senals seized, our flag insulted, and armies
N the field to back the traitors Besides,
what has the North done that she should
Compromise Is she to roll in the mud
because her People saw fit to vote for
Abraham Lincoln? That is what the
South says she must sdo-but she won t,
OF that we are confident
The South has long held the reins of
government, and is unwilling to resign
her power. She has seen the effect that
the mere threat of Secession has hereto
fore exer'ed, and as last desperate effort
to rule the roast, she now carries her oft
made threats into execution and goes out
ct the Union-that is, she resoEces herself
ont And all this is done because Abra-
ham Lincoln has been elected President.
and the seeptre is about to pass from their
hands. Week-kneed gentlemen tell us
that we must get down on our marrow
bones and beg the traitors to return-tbat
the North must allow her PROSTATE BODY
to be used as stepping-stone over which
the rebellious States may return into the
Union
Besides, South Carolina has explicitly
declared that no concession would ipduce
her to return to the fold Are we to nut
90 sackcioth and ashes and humiliate our-
selves in behalf of an irrevoeably doomed
party?
Even now preparations are busily 60
ing on for an attack on Fort Sumter, and
this event, we are informed by telegraph,
will certainly take place in few days.-
Fort Pickens will also be attacked at tho
same time. Compromise and concession
s7ould avail nothing with the inf,tuated
snoaas that control the destinies Of tho
"ssathesa Ccufederacy j" but even if they
would, who is disposed to grant favors to
an armed rabbae? 4 compromise should
not be brought about by the influence Of
tue bayonet.
The entire Scutl, has made its boasts
s!,a. Abraham Lincoln will never be inau.

.sThe wicked Elee,o sc.

To the Editor of The 4tteghdnian
See Iverson's late speech in the Senate.
"Seeing the storm approaching, although
seemingly in the distance, We are deter
mined to seek our own safety and security
before it shall burst upon US and overwheim
us with its fury, when we are not In
situation to defend ourselves" This IS
the way that few treachcrous politicians
are quilting the unsuspecting people OF
South Carolina, to secede frcm the Union
in order that they may rule over them
But this is treason in the highest degree.
Had Buchanan done his duty as Jackson
did, and sent a military force to Charles
ton, it would have nipped this treason in
the bud But instead Of that, they were
left to add 20 their treason, by persuading
other states to follow their reasonable ex-
ample, In severing the sacred bond which
unites our Union, and now they are left to
carry on their treacherous designs without
the least interference by the Government.
A government divided against itself can
not stand But if. united. as people
pleasing to God, by His assistance we can
defy all our adversaries.
l am f1r peaceable settlement of the
present troubles but if some of the south
ern states persist in seeding from the
Union, it is the duty of the Chief Magis-
trate to support the Constitution, as he is
bound, by his oath of Office, to do. But
if this matter cannot be settled without
the shedding of blood, it may as well come
first as last, for if the seeding states are
permitted to rule themselves, there will
be no end of strife, for if two brothers fall
out, they are sometimes more bitter enc
mics than strangers. In conclusion, l
wish TO ask the Shareholders what they
will gain by forcible secession? When
you are called upon to submit to the Con-
stituticn and the Union, YOU will find the
Government goading you upon one side,
and your OWE slaves upon the other. You
may compel some of them to carry arms,
as you compel them to labor for you, but
when an opportunity offers, you viii find
they will not drop their arms like they
would the hoe, for the negroes are as jcal-
Gus Of their liberty as they are of their
lives. Gods WAYS are past finding out,
and perhaps in this way slavery is to be
abolished STEPHEN LLOYD.

Unto the Breach.

The Loco-Foco State Central Commit
tee met at Harrisburg on Wednesday of
last week, and after arriving at the sage
conclusion that the Union was in danger,
they resolved to issue call for grand
Loco Foco State Convention to consist Of
three delegates from each Senatorial and
Representative district-three hundred
and ninety-nine in ALTO meet at Harris
burg on Thursday, 2lst inst, to have a
big talk over matters and things. The
Republican party was denounced in un-
measured terms as being the author of
the present national troubles, "a great
mistake,) and the Loco-Foco party was
put forward as the veritable oil that alone
could ouell the troubled waters, (likewise
a mistake,)
In pursuance of the above invitation of
the s. c. c., John III. Douglass, douglas
Democrat,) Chairman of the democratic
County Committee" of Cambria county,
and A. Durbin, (Breckinridge Democrat,)
Chairman of the democratic County
Committee" of Cambria county, have each
issued an address to the faithful to meet
in conclave for the purpose of appointing
delegates to said Convention. The Dou-
glas Democracy meet at the Court House,
on Saturday, 10th inst, and the Breckin-
ridge Democracy at the same place on
Monday, 11th inst. As only one set Of
delegates will be admitted into the Har-
risburg Convention, and as each wing of
our county Democracy will go to the bit
ter end to secure that representation, we
may safely count On seeing some warm
sport ere long.

EBefend anae Capital.


The defense of Washington against the
traitors are secretly plotting for its capture
involves not only the existence OF the
Union as an organized government, but
the question of the subjagation Of the
Northern states to ii Southern confederacy
and the graver question of civil war in the
North itself Suppose for moment that
Washington should succumh to the insur-
gents that Provisional Government
should be proclaimed from the steps OF
the Capitol or that Mr. Buchanan should
be instructed to hold over as temporary
President that this Government should
assume the name, the property, the pre-
negatives Of the United States should
claim to be recognized as the Union de
facto, by the representatives Of foreign
powers; and should issue ali orders as the
legitimate Government of the country,
inaugurated at the Capital and in posses
sion of all the public buildings and ar
chieves Of the United States What
prodigious power would this possession give
to the South, not only in debating terms
to the North, but in treating with Euro
pean nations
1t Is easy to say that the North would
sweep down like an avalanche and exter-
inmate the traitors. But it is one thing
to deal with treason as secession at distant
and scattered points, and quite another
thing to face it when inaugurated in the
capital under the name and flag of the
Union. Doubtless the numerical strength
is with the North, and such an outrage
would arouse the popular mind for swift
retribution; but the traitors would com
mand every avenue to the capital, and
the march of Northern troops would then
lie through hostile territory Besides,
the South III possession OF Washington,
would have in all Northern cities q mob
of sympathisers, threatening civil war at
our doors, and demanding the recognition
of the Government at Washington as le-
gitimate. Politicians courting power, mer-
chants craving peace, would advocate sub
mlssl )n to avert war, and Northern states
might be compelled to sue for admission
10 a Union reconstructed upon Southern
principles.
This is no chimera There is reason
to believe that precisely this is in the
mind of southern disorganizers and their
Northern abettors. While our mer-
chants, to avoid sham war, are tender
OF the South, they may find Washington
In the hands Of armed Insurgents, and
our own Custom-h house, Post Office, ASA =
office, court-rooms, navy-yard, and forts in
possession of mob claiming to act for
the Union. There is no security against
IA violent revolution. destructive at once
OF Union and Liberty, but in the most
thorough preparation Tor defending Wash
ington. Patriotism and self preservation
demand this as our first care.
No dependence can be placed upon the
President. General Scott is crippled IN
his powers and his resources. Congress
must move decidedly aud at once The
patriotism of the people must be on the
alert, aud their power ready for any emer-
gency. Events thcken While we hes
itate, a bloody revolution may be upon us
Let the voice go up from all the North
and West, backed by 10000 arms, WASH
INGToN SHALL BE DEFENDED.
