ONLY A ssCLoD HOPPER. Mr.. Lincoln, in
his remarks at Pittsburgh in relation to a
protective tariff, said he confessed that he
did not understand the subject "in all its null
tiferm bearings" but promised to give it his
closest attention and endeavor 10 comprehend
it .more fully'--evidentiy meaning that he
would inquire more particularly into the Pc
culiar interests of Pennsylvania than he had
done heretofore. This modest conduct on the
part of the President elect does not, however,
find favor with the editor of the Clearfeld Re-
publican. 1t is not his style. Boosting, va
poring, and egotistical self-exaltation would
suit his taste much better. Hence, it is not
surprising TO find him charging Mr.. Lincoln
with making, in his Pittsburgh speech,
ssAn avowal of more ignorance than usually
falls to tie lot of a common sCLoD- -
1t is true that Mr.. Lincoln has worked on a
farm. So did other Presidents of the United
States, and many of our greatest statesmen.
But not until recently has this fact been con-
sidered disgraceful. Hammond of South Car
olina has called our laboring men s'mud -sills -
Wigfall of Texas has declared that 'spoverty is
a crime;'' but it remained for the editor of
the Olearfeld Republican to stigmatize those
who till the soil, as "clod- hoppers'" :"
Taking it for granted that our uptown
neighbor understands the tariff question in all
its bearings, We think the President elect had
better send for him to instruct him on that
subject; and as the sage opinion has also been
publicly expressed here by another Democrat
one of some oratorical pretensions-tha
the speeches used in his controversy with Mr..
Douglas had been prepared for ''honest old
Abe," and that he is not competent to write
his inaugural address, we hope Mr.. Lincoln
will secure the services of our profound and
sagacious Demosthenic friend likewise.

The PEACE CoSGREss.-Mr. Franklin, of
Pa, has condensed Mr.. Guthrie's scheme to
the following ineligible form, divesting it of
all excessive Verbage and cumbersome details:
ARTICLE /. In all the present territory of the
United States, not embraced by the Cherokee
Treaty, north of the parallel of thirty six de-
grees and thirty minutes of north latitude, in
voluntary serytude, except in punishment of
crime, is prohibited. In all the present terri
tory south OF that line, the legal status OF per-
sons owing service or labor, as it now exists,
shall not be changed by law, nor shall the
rights arising from said relation be impaired
but the same shall be subject to judicial cogni-
zance in the Federal Conrts, according to the
common law. When any Territory, north or
south OF said line, within such boundary as
Congress may prescribe, shall contain popu-
lation equal to that required for Member of
Congress, it shall, if its form of government be
Republican, be admitted into the Union on an
equal footing with the original States, with or
without involuntary servitndo, as the Consti-
tntion Of snch State may provide.
The positive Republicans are united for the
Convention plan, pure and simple, but the
Conference will probably adopt something like
Mr.. Franklin's, and send it TO Congress with
request that it shall be submitted to q Nation
al Convention.
LATER.-On the 23d, Mr.. Chase, N Y, Off
cred proposition to the following effect:
THAT whereas, 1t is inexpedient to proceed
in the consideration of the grave matters in
volved in the resolutions of the State of Yir-
ginia, calling this conference together, until
all States have participated in its proceedings,
and ample time afforded for deberation among
all the delegates thereof;
Resolred, That the Convention adjourn to
meet again on Thursday, the fourth day of A
pril, and the President of the Convention be
quested to address letters to the Governors of
the several States, urging them to appoint
Commissioners, and that this Conference meet
at that time.
The resolution led to an exciting and ear
nest debate. There is aprospect that it may be
carried.

Icjustice to MSjor Anderson

The one event which marred the general sat-
isfaciion of our people, yesterday, was a sweep.
ing and most Incorporate denuDciation OF Major
Anderson, in the Courier and ENQUIRER, for his
surrender OF Fort Sumter. That journal does
not hesitate to stigmatize him as a traitor to his
country-as having betrayed the fortress he was
ordered TO hold-and as having been actually
consulting the interests and serving the pur-
poses Of the enemy whom he professed to be re.
sisting.
1t is impossible to exaggerate the cruel in.
justice Of such an assault. No man ought TO
know better than the editor of the Courier
and Enquirer the unfairness of so rash and
premature a judgment. Not solitary fact
concerning the retention, defence or surren.
der of Fort Sumter is officially known. We
have had no authentic report whatever of the
condition of the fortress, the number of guns
or of men provided for its defence, the object
of holding it, the Instructions under which il
was defended, the degree of resistance Major
Anderson was directed to offer, or the cir
cumstaIces which finally induced him to
lower his flag. O1e would suppose that
no commander would be condemned, ,-still
less branded as traitor to his country, in the
utter absence of every fact essential to Just
judgment of his conduct-and on no better au-
buuh tuO SOuluocu CUnJTuulCIUIy
tumble Of reports, which the authorities OF
South Carolina permitted to come over the tele
graphic wires. Yet the Courier and Enquirer
has perpetrated this gross injustice towards an
officer whose record is without stain, whose 10y
atty to the Stars and Stripes has been proclaim
ed and proved over and over again, and who has
not yet had an opportunity even to make public
report OF the steps he has taken, aud still less,
the eliphtest exclamation of the o1urEe he has
pursued.
Our object is simply to protest, on behalf OF
the great body Of our citizens, against the very
serious injustice, with which Major Anderson
has been go hastily and prematurely condemned
We have not the slightest doubt that when the
Government shall make public his instructions
and official reports, (as we trust they will do
without any needless delay,) he will be found
to have performed his duty with entire fidelity,
and the most perfect loyalty to the Govern
ment of the United States.-Nep York Times

From the Philadelphia Ledger
The Military Force and Aim3 Of Pennsylvrnis

From an official source, we learn that the
whole pumber oforganizsd volunteer companies
in this State is about 500, averaging about 40
men to a company, making an aggregate of over
10000 uniformed volunteers. The entire mil
itary force Of the State is about 1856 900 men
capable of military duty. The arms of the State
are all in the possession of the volunteer com
papies, and comprise IL Os0 muskets, ,706 rihep,
9 S09 cavalry swords and sabres, 3,l47 pistols,
SO pieces Of ordnance, being six bronze cannon.
OF these there are only about 1900 muskets
of the new model, 1900 improved rifles, and
about 500 cavalry swords. The balance are unfi t
for active service, being mostly Of the heavy
old flint lock. The 60 pieces of ordnance are
in good condition, with the exception of the car
riages. From the above it will be seen that the
volunteers of the State have but 200 effective
small arms, leaving an actual deficit for them
alone Of ii 800. No arms are furnished to the
militia, by the State itself. All that are now
issued to the militia are furnished by the United
States to Pennsylvania.

Switzerland, which is about half the size OF
the State of New York, and has population
OF little above two millions Of inhabitants,
possesses 800 newspapers and periodicals. OF
these 2l0 are German, IS French, and l2 ltali-

cities, as is the case in France, Germany, and
Spain, but also among. the farmers, who, like
those Of England and the United States, receive
their weeklies and periodicals. Taking the
