Union County star and Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1859-1864, 1861-02-15

may seem to favor the cause, but viii
seek to guide it cautiously and harmlessly
This fact is so apparent that some of the
most hot-headed Carolinians already growl
and talk of seeding from "Secessionis,s !''
@Jobu Tyler's Party in Washington
have appointed a subcommittee Of one
from each State to hatch an egg that will
suit everybody. An attempt of Virgi,
mia Secessiouist to compel vote on the
Slave Code, was rebuked and referred to
the committee. The Party sit about an
hour day, and are very digui6ed, but no
reporters are allowed to feed the appetite
for excitement.

S~Last Monday, an immense crowd
at Springfield, ILL.,, escorted the President
Elect from his now deserted home, to the
railway cars, on the commencement of his
eveutfuI journey to the White House. On
the platform, be spoke briefly, and went
on to Indianapolis, Cincinnati, &c, where
triumphant receptions awaited him, and
bis pointed remarks excited bouudless en.
,husiasm. He expects to stay over Sun,
day in Buffalo, and it is hoped will be at
Harrisburg the 22d.
There are about twenty friends, includ-
ding bis own family, with Mr.. Lincoln.

vance, for their comfort and safety.

to be reliable, we will publish mex. week
~I is related that halt-baked JON
athan at Concord, Mass, A. d. l715,
when ordered to fire upon the British,
(who were plunderiDg their arms and
killing the Whigs,) cried out, SO no
don't shoot-'tuiU make them mad" As
the firing vent ou, he continued to remon-
strAte that "'tuou'd only make them mad
der and madaer .Very similar, in
our day, are Buchanan ard other men in
power: while the Slaveocracy have forci-
bly, taken dczen forts, arseDals, navy
yards, and hospi,als-robbed the nation Of
chips, arm, ammunition, and money-be-
siesed and iDsuIted U. S. troops-and
torn down and trampled upon the U. S.
flag, even firing with cannon balls upon
an uuarmed vessel bearing the stars and
stripes, Buchanan says, "Dont shoot
'trM make en- mad" As if the rebels
and traitors in arms could do anything
worse or be "madder" or meaner than
they now are. So be lets the American
nation stand forth, spit upon by nul!iiers,
to the world-the brave Anderson to be
wasted BY an embittered host closing about
hiu-other forts and U. s. property to be
taken-and the very existence of our Gov
eminent at stake, rather than execute his
sworn duty to see that the laws are enforced
and the public property kept secure!

publican:

Of the non -slaveholdiDg States, have the

Some of the Secessionists fought this,

psssed-Yeas l6l, Nays none.

Of additional steam war sloops.

good dogs!
The report of Mr.. Morris, Of Illinois,
from the Special Committee raised to iu-
quire into the facts in regard to the ab-
straction Of bonds from the Interior De-
partment, discloses wonderful amount of
official embezzlemeut and actual swindling
BY Floyd and bis party.
