FLowERs-BEAUTIFUL FLowERs.-
We call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement of Edgar Sanders
All those who wish to adorn their homes
and make beautiful and attractive the spot
to every heart most dear, can not do better
than to send in their orders TO his address.
There are none so poor but can, and do,
each year, expend some money for pleas
ure, recreation, adornment and amuse-
ment. Invest few shillings in flowers
and you have all these at your command
for there certainly is no recreation more
profitable or elevating in its character, or
moro conducive TO health and happiness,
or yields greater amount Of real enjoy
ment than the cultivation Of flowers
And who will say there can be anything
more beautiful or ornamental in the par
lor or sitting-room than nicely arranged
and choice boquets?

SEWING MACHINEs.-There Is great differ
ence of opinion as to the relative merits of the
different Sewing Machines now in the market.
L have had a machine at my house for the past
two months 1t is called the FRANKLIN, and
L really regard it as n neat and most excellent
family Sewing Machine, so simple in its con-
struction that very young person may under
stand and work it at once, with no other instruc-
tion than is contained in the printed circular
which accompanies it, It executes the work
evenly, does not drop stitches, and when the
thread shrinks in washing and draws up the
material the elasticity of the stitch permits the
material TO be drawn straight without breaking
the thread, and moreover il secures its own
work. / would suggest to any of your readers
who may wish to invest in Sewing Machine,
get the Franklin by all means. II. COX.

Messrs. Il. Richards & Co.-Gont You in
quiro in regard to the working of the "Key-
stone" machines purchased of you. In answer
l would say, they give the most complete salts
faction. We have had, at times, the high-pric-
ed Machines, and have given the Taggart a Farr
Machines a thorough trial. The Keystone sur

either heavy or light work. i. w. V0GT.

BANCROFT ON TREASON. Treason
against the State on the part of its high
est officers is the darkest of human Of
fences. Fidelity to the constitution is
due from every citizen. The murderer,
even when his victim is eminent for ge-
MUS and virtue, destroys what time will
repair, and deep as is his guilt, society
suffers but transiently from the transgress-
ion. But he who conspires against the
liberties Of nation conspires TO subvert
tie most precious Jequest of past ages,
tie dearest hope oftuture time; he void
destroy genius in its birth, and enterprise
in its sources, and sacrifice the prolific
causes of intelligence and virtue to his av-
arice or his vanity, his caprices or his
ambition; would rob the nation of its ma
tionalty; the people of the prerogatives
of man; there can be no fouler deed.

The democrats run no candidate, and

A Washington letter in the Philadel-
phiu Press has the following.
am glad to be able to confirm the ru-
NOR that every preparation is being made
by the Administration to defend the Cap.
itol and to secure the peaceful inaugurR-
tion Of Mr. Lincoln. General Scott IL
as Hctive ~ a man Of forty. Aided by
Mr.. Holt, Mr.. Stanton, Judge Black and
Mr.. Touey, he will be ready II any at
tempt is made to interrupt the harmony

ty in repudiating the Washington Con-
Stitution a. his organ, and in holding dali
ly consult utions with the friends OF the
Union. understand that in late inter-
view with distinguished PennsylVsnian
he inquired, for the first time, for some
Of his old friends In your State, from
whom he has been HlisnHted, and who
are now ready to sustain him in every
proper effort to maintain the laws and
protect the Federal Constitution.
But Col. Holt seems TO be the master
spirit Of the concern. In proportion as
he exhibits determination on the right
side, he is opposed and attacked by those
who occupy the wrong side. lie is quiz
ct, silent man, born ia Kentucky; and
having lived in Mississippi for seven
years, to which State he removed from
Louisville, whence he returned to Louis
vile, after having realized large fortune
at his profession Of the law, he under
stands the issues involved, and the enc
mics against whom he has to eontend.--
His fame as an orator is worldwide; his
reports as Postmaster General since the
death OF the lamented Aaron V. Brown
are remarkable not only for practical
suggestions, but for elevated and classic
sty le,und what Is .ure in men Of this cali
Der, he is asplendid business man. The
new Attorney General Staunton, not
quite so experienced in public affairs, but
equally brilliant and courageous, may be
called the main supporter Of Holt. JUS
tice compels me to say that Judge Black
is not behind both his colleagues in irm
and earnest efforts on the side oil the Un.
ion. Mr.. TOucey, who was somewhat
weak in the knees at the start, is nov re.
solved, and the new Secretary Of the
Treasury, Mr.. Dix, could not have gone
into such Cabinet without heartily sym.
Pathising with the present policy Of the

What Crittendcu's Proposition
Really Is.

An entire misapprehensioD perya ades a
portion Of the public mind In regard TO
the identity OF the proposition which
Mr.. Crittenden has presented to the
Senate with that portion Of the Missouri
Compromise which was repealed by the
Kansas-Nebraska act in 1864. For in
stance, we have seen il recently asserted
in journals which ought to know better,
that the adoption Of Mr.. Crittenden's re-
solutions wonld be merely the rostor1-
ton Of the Missouri Compromise" No
thing could bo wider from the mark. Let
us mark this plain:
I. Forty years and more ago, the
State Of Missouri applied for admission
TO the Union with a Constitution which
authorised Slavery. For two years this
application was resisted by the Free
States, because Of the Pro. Slsvery clause
in her Constitution. The conflict con-
yulsed Congress and the country 10 their
deepest foundations, dragging the Union
20 the verge Of dissolution. The contest
was adjusted BY Compromise. Now,
what sit!
IL. This new State Of Missouri was
carved out Of q portion Of the territory
acquired from France when VIC pm-
chased Louisiana. At tho time Of the
struggle Of 1870, there were large por-
tions Of this old Louisiana territory
which lay outside Cf the boundaries Of the
State Of Missouri. Il was finally agreed
that, upon condition that Missouri should
be admitted into the Union as a Slave
holding State, Slavery should be forever
prohibited iu all the rest of the old L0ui-
siana territory which lay north Of tho
south line Of the State Of Missouri
which South line happened to be the
parallel Of SO o 30. And, theTeupoH
Congress admitted Missouri into the
Union, and in tho sth section Of tho act
Of admission, forever excluded Slavery
from the territory lying north OF SO { 30'
Ill, Il will be seem thoni that the adj
mission Of Missouri az a Slave State was
the sole eohsidsrt;ion which the North
