cede, to seize upon the National property, at
pleasure, that settles the whole question, and
the sooncr we conclude treaties of peace and
commerce, With such the better. If she has
no right to secede, then the General Govern
ment should enforce it's Laws and protect its
property, at all hazards. In what light shall
we view the conduct of those, who declaring
their desire for the purpetuity of the Union,
take pains in advance to exclaim against the
enforcement of the laws?
Many of this latter class have political
object in view, to accomplish which, they are
ready to resort to the most desperate expe-
dents. To pull down the Republican party,
they would hazard the safety Of the National
edifce. To these wise acres, the settlement of
our National troubles is an easy and simple
task 1t is only for the Republican party to
give up all its principles, and submit to all
the demands and exactions of the slave-hold-
ers. To be sure, there is no evidence that
even this would be sufficient to calm the trou-
bled waves And what if the Democracy
refused to be thus humiiated at Charleston
and Baltimore, prefering rather division and
defeat-still it is matter of wonder to those
who are seeking the overthrow of the Repub-
lcans, that we are not ready at once to give
up everything and adopt anything demanded
of u.s.
Such q course would uDquestionably be
gratifying to our Democratic friends. But
we do not believe the Republican party is
ready to do any such thing That party will
stand by its integrity and its principles. 1t
will endeavor faithfully to maintain the laws
and preserve the Union Our opponents can
aid materially in saving the Union, by
strengthening the hands of the National Exec
utive after the Fourth of March next, or they
can render the task still mere difficult by Civ
ing " aid and comfort to the enemy by their
traitorous opposition to coercion"

THE RAILROAD BILLS.

We announced last week, that the gigantic
swndles intended to benefit the Sunbury and
Erie and the Pennsylvania Central Railroads
had passed the House of Representatives of
this State by large majority. The bills will
now go to the Senate, and we do not know
that there is anything to hope in that body
The interests of the State are to be subseryient
to the schemes of these corporations.
Strictly, the Republican party should not
be held responsible for this outrage upon the
rights of the Commonwealth. 1t was announc
ed in the House, during the discussion, that
they were not party measures, bat we do not
see how party which has two-thirds Of the
Legislature can avoid being held rcspoSible for
its acts. On the bill for the Communication OF
the Tonnage Duties, eighteen democrats voted
for the bill, and ten against leaving forty tVO
Republicans for and t,oentyeigh against
The Patyiot aud Union, the Democratic organ
at Harrisburg, is a strong advocate Of this
legislation. We have no doubt, that if the
members voting for these bills are not repudi-
ated by the Republican party in many of the
counties, the people will reject them at the
ballot box. The following is the vote on the
bill for committing the Tonnage duties on the

ATTEMPT TO THROW THE PRESIDENTIAL TRAIN
FROM THE TRACK-We were on Saturday
night placed in possession OF the astounding
information that an attempt was made on Mon
day last to wreck the train bearing the Presi-
dent elect and suite, about one mile west Of
the State line. The particulars as given TO
us by Mr. Rich, of the Toledo and Western
Railroad are, that short time before the
train was due at the State line an engineer,
who was preparing to take ont train, found
it necessary so run out to the wood yard for
fuel Running at a moderate speed, he noticed
an obstruction on the track and, stopping his
engine, found that a machine for putting cars
on the track had been fastened upon the rails
in such a manner that if train at full speed
had struck it, engine and cars mnst have been
thrown off, and many persons killed. 1t is al
most impossible to think that any Que is so
thoroughly depraved as to attempt so damna
bic deed, but we are assured by our informant
that his information comes from undoubted
authority The matter would have been made
public before, but it was hoped that the per,
petrators of the dastardIy outrage could be de-
tected and brought to justice. The whole
thing was admirably planned-the ohstruc-
ton so near a station and on a straight track,
where it would not be deemed necessary to
exercise any great degree of caution-Lafag-
ette Ind. Journal, Feb. IS.

BE We understand that large number
of handbills have been scattered through the
country, purportiug to give the proceedings Of
" Union Meeting" at this place We shall
not cali in question the motives of those en-
gagged 10 this work of disappearing the SEN
timents Of our people. The pretended meet
ing was a row from the outstart. Gotten up
in conjunction with the Democratic Conven-
tion, it was an attempt on the part of the
actors to put through programme for effect
abroad, without respect to the minds of those
present. To say that any resolutions were
fairly adopted, is erroneous, and the whole
proceedings were dsorderly and unfair, as but
one side was allowed to be heard or recog-
nized.
To say that our people are ready to endorse
the schemes of DoUGLAS and BiGLER and CRIT
TENDEN is simply a libel upon their intelligence
aud consistency. The Republicans Of this

sity for surrendering their principles and pro-
claiming that in the past fourteen years they
have been deuded, or supporting measures
they did not believe honest and correct.
