GEN. JAoKsoS's ABIDING LOVE FOR THE Union
Gen. Jackson made his last will in lS43, anG
in two of its provisions exhibited his unquench-
able devotion to the Union, as established by
the Constitution, viz:
"Seventh. bequeath to my beloved nephew
Andrew ]. Donelson, son Of Samuel Donelson
deceased, the elegant sword presented to me BY
the State OF Tennessee, with this Injunction
That he fail not to use it when necessary in sup
port and protection of our glorious Union, and
for the protection of the constitutional rights oi
our beloved country, should they be assailed by
foreign enemies or domestic traitors"
"Eighth. To my grand nephew, Andrew
Jackson Coffee, bequeath the elegant sword
presented to me by the Rife Company of Now
Orleans, commanded by Captain Deal, as a me-
mento of my regard, and to bring to his recol-
lection the gallant services OF his deceased fa-
ther. General John Coffee, in the late Indian and
British war, under my command, and his gal
liant conduct in defence of New Orleans in 1914
and rs, with this injunction he WELD it
in the protection Of the rights secured to the
American citizen under our glorious Constitu-
tion, against all invaders, whether foreign foes,
or intestine traitors"

The Psnnsylvanla Legislature.

Both branches of this body organized at Har.
risburg on New Years day. All the officers
are Republican. Mr.. PALMER, Of Schuylkill
county, is elected speaker of the Senate, and
Mr.. DAVIS, OF Venango, Speaker of the House.
Gov. PACKER delivered his message to the Leg
islature on Wednesday, a brief account Of which
was given in our telegraphic dispatches of that
date. 1t appears to be in the main Of con.
servative character. 1t is noticeable that Gov.
PACKER recommends that the master be permit.
ted to retain the services of his slave, while
soiournipg in Pennsylvania; and also that the
Missouri Compromise be restored. On
this latter point, he differs from Gov. MORGAN,
Of New York, who is opposed to the restora-
ton of the line.
Gov. PAcKER's term of three years expires on
the 18th inst when his successor, A. G. CURTIN,
will be inaugurated. The latter has already
selected his Cabinet-SAMUEL A. PgRvIANcE,
of Butler county, to be Attorney General, aud
and ELI SEIFER, of Union, Secretary Of the
Commonwealth. AAf 5 r. t..a tft..

DISTINGUISHED ARRlvAL.-Cruiser, the cele-
brated horse, whose name has become 80 dis
tinguished under the tutorage of Mr.. Rarey, in
England, has arrived safe and sound, on board
the Cornelius Grinnel. The arrival OF Cruiser
will be hailed with satisfaction by all those who
desire to gee horse of royal blood, with ped
igree that extends back for over q century, en-
brscing the best stock Old England can boast of.
We presume Cruiser will bs duly introduced to
the public of the metropolis by Mr.. Rarey, who
by bis great skill has won from England a
horse that money could not have bought could
Englishmen have managed him-a horse pos
sessing spirit that set at defiance all the rough
breakers OF England, and was beyond all hu-
man control, until our great American horse
manship took him in hand and made him subject
to the will of man. Accompanying Cruiser Is
Thetis, thoroughbred mare, Of blood second to
none in England. We may therefore expect to
see new race of horses 10 our country that
will place US beside Old Eugland in the produc.

Ma. LINCOLN a BLACK MAN,--The leading ar.
tlcle of the Brogheds (Ireland) Arsua, dated the
FIRST Of this month, is devoted to the considera-
tion of the present complication in American
politics. The writer's intelligence may be
judged from this sample extract:
The election by the Northern States of Amer.
lea Of black man as President, has at length
brought about state of feeling between the
Southern aud Northern States which for a long
time has been feared, and which threatens to
end in the disruption Of the American Union
Since the confederation was formed, no Preai-
Dental election has excited so much party feel
ing as has the election OF Abraham Lincoln, a
black gentleman, hitherto unknown out OF tho
State in which he lived-or at least unknown as
public man in Europe.

Letter from Gen. Leslie Combs.

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 90, 1860.
My DEAR SIR:--l have no time or inclination
for an argument, much less for controversy
with you. You know | am an honest citizen Of
the United States. saved Kentucky last Au-
gust from the power Of Southern treason and
now wish to say u word TO you-which must
be needed
The slave and territorial questions must now
-noD-be settled on fair and constitutional
grounds, or Kentucky-Old Kentucky, the land
OF soldiers and patrots--willbe be forced into rev.
olution. Ninety-nine out of every numbered
men in Kentucky demand this easy solution of
our troubles. With this De can take care Of the
South; without it there will be civil wsr-i1ar-
and blood, and desolaton.
You msy think jest or am alarmed; but
know what say is true. The cOat.of arms OF
Kentucky is, two men embracing each other;
and her flag motto, Omitted We stand--divided
we fall" And such will be Oar fate. Throw
away all prejudice-eyerything-I pray you
but love Of liberty and yOuy country.

The NEW KNIGHT OF THE GARTER The rap.
i'd decision which both the Queen aud the Prime
Minister arrived at with reference to the gift OF
the Garter to the Duke of Newcastle took
some of the nobility by surprize, especially
those who fancied they had an equal claim to
the distinction. The Duke of Newcastle has,
however, once declined the Order of the Gar
ter. There was vacancy after the close of the
Crimean war, and, as the Duke was Secretary
of War when it commenced, and during con
siderable part of its progress, her Majesty paid
his Grace the high compliment of offering the
Blue Ribbon to him. But considerable diff
ference Of opinion had arisen among the states
men who composed the original War Cabinet,
and there was, doubtless, some irritation, and
considerable wounded feeling; the Duke had
retired from office in the height of the war and.
with a high-minde all must admire, his
Grace, with every feeling Of gratitude for her
gracious kindness, declined the prof.
fered honor. 1t is no wonder, then, that the
selection of the Colonial Secretary, on this oc-
,asion, was immediate.

WHITE WOMAN AMONG NATIVE AFaicANs.
A Sierra Leone paper states that white woman
who accompanied her husband, asa missionary,
up the Cavella river, last May, excited the
greatest curiosity and admiration among the
sable dwellers of that benighted region, where
white woman had never been seen. All wanted
to touch her, and great surprise was expressed
upon feeling her hair, The King of tho Nyin-
emo tribe called her every fne," and compli-
mented her husband greatly for his taste in se-
lecting her. And when che told him he might
see other white women who would surpass her,
he said that would either never be, or else
very long time. Owing to her presence the at
tendence on preaching was extraordinary large
During her visit at the mission station hundreds
went to see her, who said they could feel satis-
fled TO die now that they had seen such won
derful being as q white woman.

Tao secsssionists in Favor of the Constitution

Tho Soulh Carolina State Convention, on
Wednesday, adopted a report recommending
that proper measures be taken Tor the lorna
ton OF Southern COnfederacy' by the appoint
mant of Commissioners TO the slaveholding |
States asking them to call Conventions 10 con-
s;der their potical relations. The South Car
olna politicians have voted themselves out oi
the Union; but they evince strong disposition
mt IN remain out alone. They scorned walt
inc for the concurrence of other States before
passipg the Secession Ordinance; but now haV.
ing committed that revolutionary act' they are
eager for sympathy and cooperation lhis Is
at least a good sign. 1t may cause delay and
the very effort to form new Union may lead
at last to the persuasion that no better can be
formed than the old one, under which we have
lived and prospered for nearly three-tourths OF
century. ..
IL would appear that the members of the South
Carolina Convention themselves are convinced OF
this; for the report they adopted suggests (and
the suggestion is intended for the benefit OF other
slayeholding States "a well as South Cardinal
that "the instrument called the Constitution oil
the United States, is q suitable and proper basis
10 he oressd for provisional government"
The report then goes on 10 reason upon the pro.
priety Of its recommendation, ann pays the high.
eat compliment to the trainers Of the COnstluu'
ton and to the instrument itself, as "a good
form of government for those sufficiently virtu-
Gus, intelligent and patriotic, to cause it to be
fairly and honestly construed and impartially
carried out
Neither the Constitution nor the form Of
government adopted for the confederated States
is at fault. Both are admirably adapted in
form and structure for the purpose intended
What then is the difficulty, that the South Car.
olina Secessionis sts are unwilling to remain long,
er under that form of government, and yield
obedience to that Constitution, which is go suPe
rior to any new one they can devise, that they
propose TO make II the basis oftheir new South
srn Coufederacy7 There is no pretenee that
the Constitution has been perverted by the Fed
eral Government, in any of its departments
The only objection limited at in the report, ac-
cording to the telegraphic account of it, is that
iu some of the States the Constitution has been
misinterpretated aud violated. Now that very
thing has occurred often in South Carolina and
other Southern States, as well as at the North,
and will uuavoidably occur in any Confederacy
of States that can be formed with a written
Constitution For infractions Of ITSELF by in
dividusls and by States, the Constitution has
provided remedy by the powers vested in Com
gress and in the Federal Courts. Secession
and the formation of new Confederacy will
not remedy the evil, but increase it; because
the new Constitution will be constantly for q
long time, subject to questions of Interpretation
and construction, which have been long ago
settled and forever put to rest under our present
one. la -taat ea

The Timea-The Times.


But for the political, not financial panic, all
the great interests of the country would have
Hourished and prospered this fall and winter, to
greater extent than for many years past ln-
stead of prosperity, we have had in all depart
ments of fbusiness, adversely. The land Is groan
ing with plenty and the country was never 80 full
of coin, and yet the farmers produce has been
drug in the market, and labor has failed to
meet with its appropriate and just reward. Not
withstanding the political panic, caused by the
folly of the majority Of the voters in the North
ern States, by their act on the 9th of November,
the constant infux of coin, and the demand for
our surplus products in Europe, is gradually, but
surely putting better face on business affairs,
and it is to be hoped that before the spring
opens, we may witness q revival in business,
with remunerative prices for the agricultural
products Of the land, and abundance Of work and
good pay for the sons of toll. The indications
are encouraging for better times. Let all stop
croaking. The land is full of produce, and the
people in foreign lands want our surplus bread
and meat. They are sending their coin to our
shores in abundance, and notwithstanding the fol
ly and wicked fanaticism Of Republicanism, and
Its hateful purposes, we will have better times,
and no thanks to the higher law fanatics.

CoTToN IN AUsTRALrA.--The New Orleans
Pieayune directs attention to the prospects Of
raising cotton on large scale in Australia, al
though it doubts whether cotton can be made
profitable crop In that country. Mr.. w. Brooks,
in communication to the Queensland Philo-
sophcal Society, states that whenever cotton
has been tried on the coast Of Queensland, the
yield has been plentiful, and the quality excel
lent. The perennial nature Of the plant in that
locality would lessen the labor Of its cultivation,
and Mr.. Brooks thinks 1t can be profitably cul /.
tlvated, Australia has an area equal to the en-
tire extent Of the United States, and embraces
almost all ranges of tropical and temperate eli.
mate. Comparatively little of the island has
been explored, and its capabilities are conse-
quently almost unknown.
