n4While the would-be Democratic
journals of the State are splitting forth
their covert treason against the Admins
tration, calling for peace armies and accu-
sing Lincoln and his cabinet of commit,
ting unconstitutional acts, the real bona
fde leaders, Forney, Butler, and the
newly elected Member from Luzerne, II
B. Wright, and their like, are giving the
country to understand that SO long as il
is in danger they are for fighting for its
maintenance without regard to party. Col
Wright, on late occasion, gave expires.
sion to the following sentiment:
"When those who are fighting under
the standard Of rebellion lay down then
arms and sue for peace, and surrender
their leaders, then he was for peace, and
not otherwise"
In speech before the Massachusetts,
troops, prior to their leaving Washington,
Gen. Butler said that he was for giving
"Everybody that is IN the Union, all
their rights under the Union; and every.
body that is out of the Union, the steel
of the Union until they come back to the
Union"
And yet, with the words of old demo
cratic leaders staring them in the face,
the Lu.erne Union, Warren Ledger and
others of the Breckenridge school, keep
constantly exercising all their natural
deprayity and latent treason to discover
anything in the management Of govern
mental affairs by which they may delude
some Of their readers into the belief that
we have very despotic, very unconsti-
tutional, in fact that we have no government
but lincoln Monarchy, that is ruling
with a baSeness unparalleled in history,
to the destruction of the people and their
interests. Why the people of the dis
tricts in which such papers as these are
published permit such a course we can
see; they should be made to change, at
least outwardly, or their publication stop

kEe Economical.

The War at present gives no signs Of
abating; it may be pursued during the
whole of the fall and perhaps most of the
winter, if it even then ceases. This will
cause business men to be careful, and
will keep them from entering upon any
project requiring the expenditure of
means that will not bring them an imme-
diate return persons engaged in manu-
featuring pursuits will coufno themselves
to that for which there is present demand !;
workingmen who have been in the habit
of having constant employment, may
haye very little or nothing to do; and all
branches of business will be restricted to
that which is absolutely necessary.
Would it not be well in view of all
this, which is more than likely to prove
only too true, to watch closely the ex-
penses incurred now, to be very careful
Of the means in hand, SO that when the
winter comes we may have something
upon which to live safely through it.
There are no doubt many expenses in
CURED for that which is not absolutely
necessary and which takes the money and
means that may be needed before next
spring to keep from starving. The har-
vest is very good one generally, but
without money you will be unable to get
its products Potter county does not raise
Its own -four, money must be given for
that which is consumed, and where is it
to come from if extravaganza is permitted
now for the only reason that the people
think because they have the means they
might as we'll indulge themselves and let
winter prepare food for itself Those who
are the least prepared for its severity ap-
pear the most reckless and seem to have
no realizing sense Of the danger they live
il from the troubled state Of the country.
While we are not permitted to look into
the future, and it is not well to "borroW
trouble" yet wise man "putteth his
house in order ere the night comoth." ."
1t might be we'll for our people to lay
this to heart we hear there are those
IN the county who are even now suffering
for the necessaries Of life. There are
none so rich and none SO poor to whom
this will not apply. A rich man should
save that he might give to the poor, and
the the poor man should save to avoid
being the object of charity,

The REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF
THE TREASURY makes the necessary ap-
preparations needed $217,168,S50 Is,
exclusive Of provisions to pay maturing
debt, redeem treasury notes, etc. Of this
amount the War Department takes $780,
296,397 II, and the Navy S30,609, ,520-
20. As all this cannot be raised by du-
ties on imports, the Secretary recommends
that $50, 100000 be provided by taxation,
and S240, 100000 by loans. The Secre-
tary proposes to tax imports of tea and
coffee and increase the sugar duties, and
by this means he estimates that SIS, ,000,-
900 of additional revenue may be raised.
By raising the duties on some lightly
taxed imports, laying duties on exempt
articles, and lowering prohibitory duties
ST, 100000 more may be raised, while the
inevitable improvement Of trade will pro-
duce from the rest of the tariff $50, ,000,-
000, making in all $57, 100000 with the
$5,000,000 annually received from sugar,
tea and coffee under any tariff. From
land sales, ETC., $3,000,000 may be de-
pended upon, making the total revenue
$60000,000. It will be necessary to
raise $20,000,000 for the current yearly
internal dues or excises.

A noble speech was that made at Wash
ington few nights ago, by the Hon.
Emerson Etheridge, Of Tennessee. The
conclusion of it WAS as follows -" It has
been SAID that [ am a fugitive. The as
sertion is false. Like McGregor, wher-
ever the American flag waves, [ can say
with him, that l stand upon my native
heath. In my own home the spirit of
General Jackson still lives, and the dec
aration of the hero of New Orleans will
soon be made good. FBy the Eternal,
the Union must and shall be preserved
This is no time for argument. Persua,
sion has been rejected, and entreaty has
done no good. They have invoked the
sword, now let them feel it. For myself,
l defy all the promises of wealth or of
Office they may offer. They cannot weak
en- my love of country. When I am no
longer an American citizen, and anarchy
reigns where now all is order, then [ will
not say there is no God but that truth
is crushed to earth. I Will then 90 thro
the world seeking to keep my conscience
clear, and die with my hands pure, and
with name worthy the confidence of my
fellow countrymen.

monism, and other forms of evil on the

beautiful, yet perverted fabric of Consti-

of our noble government was necessary to
prove the existence of that power. The

EDThe present is season Of the year
when, under any circumstances, general
business would stand still and of course
no material change in that respect can be
looked for now. But the returning con-
fdence Of the business community in the
strength and duration of the Government
Is having a most excellent effect in open
ing the way for the resumption of bust
ness, when its natural season comes
round. Business men take heart because
they see, in these indications, an earnest
Of the end. There is no longer the room
there was for doubt and apprehension.
Confidence resumes its sway, because
every sound reason is in favor Of it; and
when the time arrives, it will re-animate
business with rapidity that will surprise
and rejoice. The real resources of the
country were never larger than now and
The very suspension of enterprise, will
only make the future demands upon it all
the greater.

POSTAL EXPENSES SAVED BY SEoEs-

the Post Office Department, that the year
ly income from postage in the Seeded
States amounted to only 100000, while
the expenses of transporting the nail in
the same States exceeded this sum by
S3,000,000, which is now saved to the
Government by their suspension in those
States.
