Objects of Abolitionists.

That the Aboitlonists would destroy
the Constitution aod introduce a despot-
ism, is no empty charge. The following
extracts will show the temper Of that
party, The N. Y. Times saws
"A man of firm and rcsoluto will, with
a million of men in his arms to support
him, can do pretty much as he pleases
They have TO learn that Constitutions
however convenient they may be, can be
laid aside or suspended when necessary
The Rev. DR.. Bellows in late sermon
on the proclamation, said
1.-THE policy of the utter destruction
of slavery and the slave power once
avowed, the next is to cashie~ every
General who dare TO question or disregard
it, to dismiss every Cabinet officer who
disputes it, and to silence every press
that lifts its guilty columns against it,"
And again DR.. Bellows said;
"This is war OF cxtermination-g
war to get rid of slavery and sIavehol
ders, whether it is constitutional or not. >
T.. G. Ingersoll, Abolition candidate a
large in Illinois for Congress, safe in one o
his speeches:
"If the President should determine thai
in order 10 crush this rebellion, the Con.
stitution should be suspended during the
rebellion, ] believe he has the right to dc
So"
Rosette, candidate for the Illinois
Legislature, gave utterance to the follow.
ing:
"I am not Constitutional man am
for carrying on this war under the Con-
stitution, over the Constitution, through
the Constitution, around the Constitution
or against the Constitution. ANY way
whatever, SO as TO put down the REBEL
;on."
The abolition party is done for. The
last election did the business. The mig
ger institution will never recover from
the shock. Like the animal in "Moth'
er Goose's Melodies -
"Whr it lives, il lives in clover.
Ana When II dies, ii dies all over"

A Break in the Cabinet.

Secretary Seward rendered bis resirna
Sion to the President on Friday last, but
at had not been accepted at the latest ac-
counts. In the event Of his going out, il is
said that Senator Sumner will take his
place. The Assistant Secretary resigned
at the same time. 1t is also rumored thai
Secretary Chase and Postmaster General
Blair will leave with Mr.. Seward. Rumol
likewise has it that Gen. Halleck will GEL
leave to retire from his present position,
and that Gen Burnside has asked to be
relieved from the command of the Army o.
the Potomac.
We give these rumors for what they are
worth. That there is trouble at Wash
ington is beyond doubt, We most wal
and see what next will turn up.

Revolutionary Movements.

We learn by the Luzerne Union, that
abe Cameronians are instigat;ng move
ment to arrest, carry off, and imprison
Senator STARK, of Luzerne, and another
Member Of the House, on the general
charge Of "disloyal practices," in order
ahat the Democracy may be left in the
minority, until the Republicans succeed
an electing the "Russian Mogul'' to the
United States Senate That game is up
exploded, played out. The Editor
warns "the powers that be-" that Senator
Stark, or no other Loyal Democrat, can
be taken out Of Luzerne county, for any
such purpose, save they be taken over the
dead bodies Of nine thousand Democrats
and to which we add, over three thousand
more from Columbia.

The DiSuniouists.

Mr.. VALLANDIGHAM offered in Con
gress, on Friday last, resolutions that the
Union must be preserved indivisible; that
any person advising peace on any other
terms should be held guilty of high
crime; that the Government can never
permit foreign intervention that the war i.
waged in no spirit of oppression, but for the
equal rights of the States and the main
tenance Of the Union that the revolution
airy scheme of extinguishing State laws and
turning States back to Territories should
not be tolerated that a dictatorship should
be spurned, and that the preservation of
the Constitution, the Union and the liber
ties of the people should be the object kept
in view. These resolutions were voted
down by the House, by vote of rs Abol-
itionists against so Democrats in their favor.
Where now is the boasted Unionism of the
Abolitionists Reader reflect upon it.
These niger worshippers thus vote virtu-
ally in favor of dictatorship, against the
preservation of the Uuion, Constitution,
public liberty and all

Etl5i0r CCilmJiu Democrat:
Dear .Sir:--Haying been a careful rea.
der Of your paper for a number of years,
and knowing that quite large number of
your patrons arc members of the l7Sth
Regiment, p. NJ, | thought it might in
torest you and your numerous patrons at
home 10 know of our whereabouts and
doings. The Regiment left Harrisburg,
as you already know, no doubt, on Fri.
day, the 5th inst, and arrived at Wash.
ingt0n, after a tedious ride, through a
snow storm, in cold and filthy cars, on
Saturday evening, where we remained in
barricks not fit to stable cattle, until the
following Wednesday, when we received
orders to pack havorsack with two days
rations, and ready to march in few mo-
ments notice to 9th Street Wharf, to take
heat for Fortress Monroe. At ! o'clock,
?. NJ, same day, we boarded the steamer
C0Jnnb'a, started off on our jurney, over
two hundred and forty miles, and landed
at Fortress Monroe, at s o clock on Thurs.
day evening.
he COLulndtd is smart running boat
and manned by a very genllempnly crew,
especially the Captain, who did all in his
power to make the Regiment comfortable,
All hands remained Oh board Of the boat
till morning, when the Colonel, Major,
Quartermastcr and myself went on shore,
and reported the arrival Of the l76th to
Major General Dix, who resides in the
Fortress, in a splendid Mansion, surroun-
ded with shrubbery Of almost every des-
cription. 1t is not my purpose to enter
into any description of the Fortress or Of
what | boheld inside or about it At this
place We were informed that our destina-
tion was Newsport News, a distance OF
some ten miles further, on water, up the
James River. After transacting what
necessary business we had on hand, the
CohIStJia started for our place of destina
ton. On landing, teams were in readi-
ness to convey our goods and chattels to
the camping ground, not ever a mile dis
tance, where we found some eight or ten
Regiments already encampod, and among
which is Cocheran's Irish Bgigade, q very
clever, sociable and soldier.like set Of
men.
Our men seem 10 enjoy the life of q
soldier remarkably we'll much better
than was anticipated by many, The
