General Impatience.

Considerable impaticnoe begins to be
manifested at the continued inaction of the
immense Federal army at Washington,
aud politicians of the on to Richmond"
class are importuning the President to or.
der an immediate advance. Curiosity is
bafiied in attempting to penetrate the plaLs
of Gen. MCLELLAN-the best evidence
that he keeps his owu counsels. Whether
his design is to wait an attact from the
rebel army, which many suppose it will be
compelled to make in absolute desperation ;,
or whether our army will be soon advanced
against the enemy or ramain in active until
Spring, is something concerning which tho
public are kept in entire ignorance-and,
wisely SO, for if the Commander.in- Chief
should communicate his plans to the un-
easy politicians in order to allay their ap-
prchensions, these plans would soon become
public property, and consequently WORTH
less. We shall never know whether Gen.
McClcllan's plans are right, save by their
results, which we must wait for in patience.
Wellingtons long and patient inaction du.

The Clittenden Resolution.

On the 22d Of July last, the House Of
Representatives, by an almost unanimous
ly vote upon the motion Of Hon. J. j. Crit
tcndcn, passed the following resolution:
ResOlvcl, By the House of Representa-
tives of the Congress Of the United States,
that the present deplorable civil war has
been forced upon the country by the dis,
unionists of the Southern States, now in
revolt against the constitutional govern
ment and in arms around the Capitol
that in this national emergency Congress
banishing all feelings of mere passion or
resentment, will only recolect its duty to
the whole country that this war is not
wagCd upon our part in any spirit of op-
preston, nor for any purpose OF conquest or
subjugation, nor for the purpose of over
throwing or interfering with the rights or
established institutions of the States, but
! to defend and maintain the supremacy OF
the Constitution and preserve the Uni on
with its dignities, equalitics and the rights
of the several States unimpaired, and as
soon as these objects are accomplished, the
war ought to cease
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, on Wedncs-
day last, again offered this resolution with
the following brief addition;
And Whereas, Since that time, no event
hos occurred to change the feelings of the
government, therefore
Resolved, That tie principles above ex
pressed are solemnly reafirmed by this
House.
Upon motion of the notorious Thadeui
Stephens of this State, these were laid up
on the table by vote of II ayes, to 6;

mate action of the House upon the SLAYER,

The Trumbull Resolution.

Many of our exchanges are commencing
the Resolution of Senator Trumbu ull call
ing for information regarding the arrests
made in the northern States under the di-
rection Of the Secretary of State Mr.. Sew
ard), and commencing also the remarks
made by him in its support. The resolu-
ton was under consideration in the Senate
Dec. 10th, when, obviously to avoid a
direct vote), it was referred to the COM
mittec on the judiciary by vote of 25 to
IT. This avoidance of direct action in
dicatcs the embarrassment of Senators,
and confirms the belief that the arrests in
question were illegal and unjustiiable.
Mr.. T,umbull describes the power of
arbitrary seizure of persons, as practised
by the Administration, US "a despotic
power-the essence of despotism-where
the President, by the click of the telegraph,
can order the arrest of any one in the
loyal States y and he very pertincntly
remarks that in the loyal States "the courts
are in operation, and it is for them to ar
rest and not the General Government"
1t has never been doubtful point that
these arrests are in violation of the Consti.
tuition and of private right That our
citizens should hold their liberty subject
to telegraphic despatch of the President
or any member OF his Cabinet, is doctrine
too monstrous for liberation and it must b.
speedily and forever abandoned. The
attack upon it by a leading Republican
Senator, indicates the general and delib
crate sentiment of the country, which is
that the rights of the citizen are held un
der the Constitution and laws and not al
the pleasure of any official whatsoever.

THE STATE APPROPRIATION TO CON-
MON SCHooLs.-Tho following circular
relative to the State appropriations to the
department of common schools has been
published by the State Superintendent, L.
II. Burrowes, Esq;
An erroneous impression is entertained
in some parts of the State that the appro-
priation for the school year beginning on
the first Monday in June, 1861, was with
drawn by the State Legislature and ap-
piled to the support of the War. 1t is
therefore, proper to say that our State has
not thus disgraced herself On the con-
trary, while the amount of appropriation
payable per taxable to the districts will be
the same as it was the last year, the ag-
gregate appropriations were greater in
amount than for any year since lS4O,-
The appropriations to the districts will j.,
therefore, be paid out as usual as soon as
each shall have filed the proper certificate
that the schools were open and in opera
ton according 10 law at least four months
after the first Monday in June, 1861.

Ry- Under democratic administrations
the idea of national debt gave all the
opposition papers the cholio; now while
Secretary Chase says that, on the lst July
1868, If the war continues, eve shall have
o nationa! debt of nine hundred millions
of dollarsi" they protest that they Care
not in the least dismsyed at the announce
ment." We presume this is upon the sup
position that the democrats will directly
after, como into power, and be obliged to
devise ways and means to pay the debt

A Craven Cry.

The Secesh are upon us u! 10! mig
gers, 10 the rescue !" Can it be believed
that there are American frecmen dastardly
enough to raise cry like that There
is not a day we do not hear it. 1t is bawl>
ed at every point of the compass, and
comes down to US from even the sacred
walls of the Capitol. They demand cman.
cipation as military necessity. In effect
we are told that the twenty millions of the
North are no match for the six millions of
the South-that we are doomed to defeat,
unless we get the help of the black man.
They do not like to have it put just in tha
style, but it amounts to exactly that
Short of that, their "miitary necessity"
would be msnomer, and their claim to

est pretext. We say that a viler insult
was never dealt upon the Northern name.
The worst libel ever uttered by Southern
.lave-drivers does not equal it. If it be
true that, with such numerical odds in our
favor, and with the noblest cause that ever
appealed to man, we must crave the succor
of slaves; if we must look to the poor,
blind, creeping African to help vindicate
our birthright and stay us up in our cx-
tremity, then let it be recorded, we are
'mudsills" indeed. There is no word of
scorn too low for US. We cannot court
the alliances of slaves without proving that
we are ourselves fit to be slaves. 1t is
our heritage that is assailed, not theirs
and if our own good right arms, with all
the advantage they have, cannot protect it,
we may as well at once advertise our de-
generacy to the world, and prepare to take
our place as underling'. Emancipation as

cEss1TY! If emancipation must come,

independence, for the prospects of our
children, for the good name of free gov

race, let it take any shape but that
