can have but one true answer What II
all thij for on their part but 70 overturn
the principle upon which their own Gov
ernment, as well as ours, Is based-to
reverse the doctrine that Govcrnmcnta
derive their "iust powers from the con-
sent Of the governed p" What is il for
but to overturn the principles and prac-
tice Of their own Government from the
beginning? That Government was
founded and based upon the political
axiom that all States aud people have
the inAlienable right 10 change their
forms OF Government at will.
This principle was acted on IN the re-
cognition by the United States OF the
South American Republics. IL was the
principle acted on ia the recognition Of
Mexico. II was acted on ia the struggle
of Greece 20 overthrow the Ottoman rule.
On that question the greatest eonstitu-
ton expounder OF the North, Me. Web
ster, gained his first laurels as an Ameri-
can statesman. The principle was acted
on in the recognition Of the Government
of Louis Philippe, on the overthrow Of
Charles the X. of France, and again in
the recognition of the Lamarlino Gov
ernment on the overthrow of Louis Phil
ippe, in 1848. AT that time every man
at the North in Congress, save one, Ste
phens believed, voted for the principle.
The same principle was again acted upon,
without dissent in 1862, in the recogni-
tion of the Government of Louis Napo-
leon. The same principle was acted ON
in the recognition of Texas, when she
seeded or withdrew from the Govern
ment Of Mexico.
/ 1t is asked on the side Of the South,
What is all this for? The reply from
every breast is, that It is for home for
firesides, for our affairs, for our birth
rights, for property, for honor, for life
in word, for everything for which free .
men should live, and for which all de-
serving TO be freemen should be willing,
if need be, TO die. In whatever trials
and sacrifices this war may bring upon
US, when the thought of "Whatis all this
for" comes TO the mind, recollect that it
is, on our part for everything most dear
and sacred; and whatever reverses may
await us, in struggle for such objects,
let the watchword of the last survivors be,
"Never give it up" Let the world know,
and history record the fact, ii such should
be our unhappy fate, that, though our
country may be invaded, our lands laid
waste, our cities sacked, our property
destroyed the people of the South could
die in defense of their rights, but they
could never be conquered ~

The Peace Rumors.

The Philadelphia Press says: The N.
York Tribune, in its Washington cores
pondence, with many circumstances and
much plausibility, prints story 70 the
effect that Commissioners had arrived in
Washington from the rebel States and
held "a conference with the President and
Secretary of State, with view TO peace
and compromise. We feel authorized 10
say that the statement Of this cnfrespon-
dent is without oundatiOn--that no such
commissioners have arrived, aud that il
they should come within the lines, in
stead Of visiting the Capital, they would
visit the Old Capital prison. The custom
OF entertaining rebel commissioners pass
ed away with Mr. Buchanan. This Ad-
ministratiOn will hold no Intercourse
with any rebel deputation, unless IL should
comes for mercy and pardon, and we arc
sorry TO see the Tribune printing such
a foolish story. .r

MEssRs. EVANS AND WATSON: GENTLEMEN
The small size No. Salamander safe which
| purchased from your agent, Mr.. Adam r.
Bar, in Lancaster City, on July goth, 1888,
has been subjected to very severe test,
which it withstood in most satisfactory
manner. This Safe, containing all my books
together with valuable papers belonging to
myself and some to my neighbors and friends,
and represeting ayalue of over Twenty Thous-
and Dollars, (S2O, ,00o) in my Mill which
was destroyed on the night of the 9th of Ju-
ly, 1860, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unsca.hed. The Safe was onthe second floor
and fell to the basement of the Mill, and was
subjected for six hours to an intense heat
among the rui.is, which was greatly increased
by the combustion of large quantity of grain
confined within .he brick walls After the
fire the safe was opened and the books and
papers taken out in state of perfect preser-
vation, the paper not even being discolored.
This fact was, however, to many bystanders
a better recommendation of your Safes than
could be expressed in any other words from
me. Yours Respectfully,

ABOUT FRICTION MATCHEs.-Thev value
of the friction or lucifer match will never
be realized by the coming generation, for
they will know nothing of the difficulties
of obtaining and preserving fire previous
to their invention. So rapidly do we
move on, that persons that remember the
tindcr-box are getting old. Then matches
made by hand were valuable and carefully
preserved; now they are as abundant as
dew drops of an autumn morning and al
most as cheap. An English writer says,
that one firm, Messrs. Dixon, in London,
constantly employ four hundred workmen
in making twenty-five hundred million
year. The average consumption in Eng
land is two hundred and fifty millions a
day or eight to each individual in the
kingdom. 1t is as large or larger than
the United States. There are two man
ufactories in Austria and Bohemia that
turn out forty five thousand million year.
The friction match is therefore one OF the
institutions of modern times, and one that
having once known and employed, VIC
could no more do without and move on
at the rapid rate we are doing than We
could live without air or water
