Strange Patri otism.

The leaders of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania, during the last State ana
national elections, claimed to be the ex-
c,usiye friends OF protective tariif-and
thousands Of votes were polled for their
candidates, solely Influenced by the tariff
question. In their opinion. no Democrat
syss sound on this question. Not 20 be the
advocate of what they called proteet''e
tariff was to be an out and out free tMder !;
and if their leaders we're to be believed, n
tariff of this character would be insured II
tho people would just put them in' ana
turn out the Democrats. Well, the elec'
tions came, and the Democracy were doc
fea,ed Gov. Curtin announced in his in
aucural that in his election the people
had declared in favor of such i"riit -
Mr.. Lincoln forgets the subject entirely
in his inaugural, after saying at Pittsburg
that he would "look into the subject after
he would reach Washington" From va
rious indications we worry much feal that
this great interest is about 10 DO entirely
forgotten.
The Hollidaysburg Register, whore editor
is one of the greatest tariff "wind bags
in the State, admits, ii substance, tha; he
urged Mr.. Cameron for Secretary OF the
Treasury, with the hope of getting q
strong Ia, if advocate 10 succeed the free
trader Ccbb, in order that The interests o
PENNSYLVANIA might be protected. But
when tho new Cabine. was be-
ing formed it was discovered that the IN
terests efMs parry compelled Mr., Cameron
TO tako the War Department, where he
could be Of no eartly uso to the tariff mer
ofPennsylyania, and Mr.. Chase of Ohio
as ultra q trsstader as Mr. Cobb, was pu
in charge of the Treasury Depart
ment.
It thus seems that, with this party
whenever the interests Of hs country com
in conflict with the interests Of the Repu6h
eas party the country must always be DIR
ven to the wall. Party first, and countr
afterwards with them.
Again, the recent election of Wilmot
ahe United Statls Senate is another ey
dence of violated faith, or of the insin 2e
i,v of their professions. Wilmot is
less ultra as an Abolitionist, than he is
the only one who voied for the tariff

Idcnt, gave the casting vote in favor
this bill in the Senate. But, unlike NJ

whole Union, and not Of single State {
part ofa State. Mr.. Wilmot thus wo
the reputation Of being The only adyocat
Of free trade from Pennsylvania in tina

sentiments now, we have not the lea,
doubt 0fcourse, he was not selected a.

one ever made any su ch pretentions.

Department, the interests OF the countr

Henry Ward Bseoher.

This fana,ical bufioon is constantly pa
radinp himself before the country, fof
the purpose of gaining notoriety; whe'h-
er for the good or evil of mankind, seems
to make very little difference to him.
His clerical robes are no moro suited to
his habits and character, than they wouid
be 10 the greatest renegade in our country
The conduct of this individual is no
doubt we'll remember in connection with
the Kansas trouble in 1856. At pub lic
meeting held in his.church, on the Sab
bath day, for the purpose OF collecting
money to buy rifles to send to Kansas
for the purpose of shooting Border Ruff
fans" he remarked, "that he believed
Sharpe's rifle was a truly moral agency,
and there was more moral power in che
of the instruments, so far as tho slave
holders of Kansas were concerned, than
hundred Bibles. YOU might as well
read the Bible to bnffaloes as to such men
as Atchison and Stringfellow, but they
have a superior respect Tor the logic en-
bodied in Sharpe's rifles. Though he was
peace man, he had the greatest respect
for Sharpe's rifles, and for the pluck that
induced these New England men to use
them"
This is an extract from sermon
preached by this religious fanatic, and /:
in strict keeping with numerous senti'
ments he uttered in his pulpit during the
troubles in Kansas. Through the instrn'
mentality of this man, thousands OF dol
lars were sent to Kansas for illegltimat'
purposes Now, when, according to The
representations Of the Emigrant Aid So
siety, the people ars in n starving con
dition, his philanthropy seems to seek an
Iotber channel. During the excitement
in reference 10 Major Anderson, of For
Sumter, this same ddactic enthusiast i'm
mediately set about raising q collection
for Major Anderson and his starving {?
soldiers, and, as is usual among sach mel
as follow the lead ofsuch zealots as Beech
er, succeede in collecting large amount

G funds might be more properly applied

Being part of Gods economy, it is not

"DtRTY WoRK."-The Jefferson Star
intends 10 convey the idea that all tho
members Of the late Peace Congress, who
labored to bring about a settlement of our
national difficulties, were engaged in
doing dirty work. We extract the fol,
lowing:
" We SEQ it stated that Judge White, Of
Indiana, Pa, as member of the Peace
Congress-, at Washington, was willing to
do anything The only men that stood
out against doing the dirty work of the
convention, from our State, were Meredith
and David Wilmot. Judge Width mis-
represented his part of the State"
The future will show whether Judge
White, or Messrs. Meredith and Wiln,ot,
we're engaged in doing " dirty work.

Mr. Lincoln partook largely Of Mr.. Cor

pose of ascertaining the precise spot"

letter, of the 10th Of August to the London Times

that the import and export trade of the Zollverein

come, when compared with that of 1852 in conse.
quence of the civil war in America. The Prussian
courts of justice are to issue "sea passes'' to mer
chantmen trading to North America, in the hone
that the rebel privateers will respect such protec.
ton papers, as did the Algerine pirates and Bar
barry corsars of former days.

THE OPPosING GENERAIs-It is singular cir
cumstance that General Mcclellan, the CON-
mander of the Union forces on the Potomac.
and General Beauregard, the chief of the rebel
army, each graduated second in rank in his
class at West Point. It would be curious to
know what has become of the cadets who gra-
duated first in these classes. Do the first gra-
duates always subside, like the men who take
first honors Mt colleges, or what becomes of
them? Here are the second rate men the lead
ers of twin opposing armies, the largest and
best appointed ever in the field in this country
Now, if the rank Of graduation is any test Of
merit, we have a stray Napoleon, a loose Wei
lington or an embryo Scott lying around some
where, North or South. Where are the first
rate graduates! Does the Scripture rule hold

THE WAR IN MIssouRI-It appears that the
late so called victory near Springfield, Missouri,
of Ben. McCulloch with his rebel army of
$4,000 men, over General Lyon and his 4,500
men, has proved so very Improbable to Ben.
that he has been compelled to retreat back into
Arkansas. Meantime, under the extensive COM
binations of General Fremont, the Union forces
are pushing forward, while the rebel forces in
the southern part Of the State, in addition to
those of McCulloch, are falling back. Thus,
before the end Of the present month, we hope
to be able to record the complete suppression
in, or expulsion from, Missouri of all the armed
forces Of this rebellion. Fremont's proclama-
ton, declaring free the slaves of local traitors
in arms, was doubtless the result Of careful
deliberation, and will operate to make practical
Union men of many Missouri shareholders, who,
with all their love for secession, love their Mig
gers still more. We have every indication from
Missouri that the strong medicines applied by
Fremont to this secession plague in Missouri
will cure the patient as by miracle.

was sustained by vote of LAP to CO. After long
debate the Convention refused to lay the subject
on the table by vote Of 81 to liz. The Conven-
ton then refused to hear Mr.. McMasters, OF
the New York FfeemGa's Journal, speak, and
ordered the main question, thus efectually
sealing the lips Of the so-called peace men.
The Convention reconsdered the resolution
admitting both branches of New York dele
gates by vote ofil4 yeas to 81 nays, rejected the
substitute, adopted on Wednesday, admitting both
sets Of delegates, and finally admitted the Tam
many delegation alone. Whereupon the Mozarters
withdrew, held meeting, and adjourned to meet
IN New York, to draw up protest against the &C.
tion OF the Convention. The Convention then
