Letter from Philadelphia.
PuILADELrHIA, JAM, Ia, lSt

MsssRs. EpiroRs: Thick blackness contin'l
ues to cas- its gloomy SHADOW over our
beloved country. Every hour Is expected
to announce that the dreaded collision
has taken place, that fraternal blood has
been shed, and. consequently, that The
last hope of the patriot has expired,
For DAYS it was announced that Mr..
Sewsrd, who is to be Secretrry OF State
under Mr.. Lincoln, was TO address the
Senate. 1t was anxiouslJ awaited, in hopes
that way of salvation might be indica>
ted-that some assurance would be given
by him, speaking for the great party of
which ne is the acknowledged leader,
that there was yet reason to hope for
. reconciliation. His speech was made
yesterday, and is to day published in all
the Sunday papers Of Philadelphia, but,
alas it gives but little hope. 1t is an
able production a splendid eulogy upon
our Constitution and Union-and the ru-
in and disgrace, and devastation that
must follow their destruction, is yiyidly
portrayed; butt after all he fails to point
out way to avert this dreadful calamity
This he could do ii he would. 1t would
cost him but little trouble A few words
from him would set the ball in motion,
and give peace to q nation now on tht
verge of civil war.
The adoption by Congress o! the Crit
tenden proposition would at once restore
peace. This would be done if Mr. SewarC
bad given the word. On him and hi
party, therefore, rests tn, responsibility.
Every hour brings some new excite
mcnt Now it is that Majo' Anderson il
bcmbaring Charleston, and the city is il
flames. Again it is announced tha
Washington is about to be besieged b!
fifty thousand Virginisns One hour Mr.
, buchanan is denounced as q, ''perjureC
traitor" and the next, he is the recipien
OF the hypocritical praise of hi, enemies
The people should put their trust in hin,
IL any man can pilot tho ship OF Stat
through this trying ordeal, it is Mr.. Bach
anar. He has had more experience tha.
any other American statesman-is full 0
years, and full of honors-and if he ha
any ambition 1t is that he may retire from
public life with his countrymen at peace
The people should wait no longer oil
Congress. They are, at least nineteenth
Of them, in favor of the Crtenden propo
sition. Let them delay no longer, bu
ACT, and ACT AT ONCE. Delay i
death.

Who states the Truth 7

"Tbo call upon Ministers and people Is
extraordinary. "The Governments anu
n ,t;op are fully alarmed-the public dan-
GER is great and imminent. In this crisis
to whom shall we go? Where turn our
anxious eyes, but to GodT
"The Government is in the throea OF
dissolution. Treason and robbery run
riot in the Departments. The National
Finances are ruined. The public credit
is at its last gasp. Traitors by scores sit
in Congress, and are paid in preferences
to true men.
Astounding the fact, that person 8
two miles from this place should follow
their usual avocations and are as happy
and contented, as if no,seccssion hub-bub
prevailed in Clearfeld Borough"
1t is indeed mortifying to know that
there are number Of individuals in our
midst, who gigle, snarl, and snatlle at our
national calamites, as if they held
the destiny of nations in the hollow OF
their hands.
Ifthey remain consistent in their pres
ieut courre, we expect to..see them dance
'ju ubilee upon the graves OF their Fathers.
In order to let tho public judge fol
themselves what our surroundings are
we publish the above three extracts fren
high authority. The first is from cal
Of the Clergymen of Clearfield; the sec
ond is from the N. Y. Tribune; and the
third and last is from our neighbof-th'
Journal. We hope the Journal will no
Insist on its versions Of the state Of th'
country, against the above authorities
bu. we expect it to tell its readers wh'
states the facts in the case
