Expenses Of the Present aud
EsrODOSed Constitutions.

The Republicans are labering to make it
appear that the expenses of our State gov
ernment uill be greatly increased BY The
adoption of the proposed constitution
Their journals have published tables of
figures to prove this, but a.refersnce to the
laws and appropriations ofthe Legislature
for the past few years will show the ralsitv
of their statements.
We give the following reespitulation Of
expenditures under the present and pro-
posed constitutions, which are taken from
figures and facts, instead of being based
upon suggestions and t4Isehoods, as is the
case with the Republican estimates:
Legislative department under the pres
ont constitution 500 los; under the proqos-
ed constitution $37 .0l0 Executive depart,
ment under present constitution S23. 400 ;
under the proposed constitution$l2 5e0.-
Judicial department under the preseut c.. :
stituti0n see. 577l under the proposed
constitution SIS 300 These figures, which
are correct, show difference in favor Of
the proposed constitution of Sl9T CPS.
! And then under the present constitution
"the two mill tax" which is entirely III,
nes,ary, has utited annually to neal
SoU0, 00e. Unter the proposed constitution
this tax is abolished. Therefore, if Ii,
people adopt the proposed constitution
there will be grand saving to the ia,

Abolitionists are constantly talking
about slavery being the cause Of the war,
and declaring that the way to end the war
is to destroy slavery. Those who made
the governments understood the slavery
question quite as well as we of to-day un-
derstand it. In fact it was government
fought for, won and erected by shareholders,
in which slavery was acknowledged and
sanctioned by the Union Of the States, and
legalized, protected and fostered by every
Individual State Of the Union, except one.
The Union of the States was Union for
mutual protection and relief, made neces-
sary by surrounding circumstances, in
which all the States agreed upon certain
great principles for the government Of the
whole, and reserved to themselves all the
elements of State Sovereignty to regulate
their domestic institutions in their own way
and be sovereign in everything not inconsis-
tent with the Constitution, the great COM
pact governing all the States.
This was the understanding of those whn
formed the Constitution and put the wheels
Of Government in motion. That it is what
they intended, is declared, in fact, by
every law placed by them upon the Ma
tional Statutes, by all their acts, by every
feature of their administration of the Gov
ernment So long as these Revolutionary
patriots lived to direct the administration
and regulate public opinion by their advice
and counsel, all was we'll; bnt that time
has past and the pestiferous plaques of in
termeddling sectionalism and fanatical and
bigoted Abolitionism began to show their
hydra heads, and as they rose, the bonds
Of fraternal brotherhood, joining man and
man, and State and State, in one harmoni-
Gus and devoted Union, began to dissolve
like snow before the rays of the sun. Pat
riotism gave way to bigotry, devotion to the
Union was supplanted by devotion to the
negro, the Courts were insulted, the laws
disregarded, the Constitution Of our faith
ers denounced as Covenant with death and
league with hell statesmen and patriots
were hurled from place and position to
make room for those who boasted most Of
their abolitionism. Such men as Web
ster, Ewing, johnson, Cass, Allen, Mar
cy, Douglas, and hundreds of other tried
and true men were sacrificed to make room
for those whose boast was abuse of the
South and Southern institutions.
The end Of it all is that the hands of
every abolitionist are stained with the
blood of murdered Union. 1t is aboli-
tonism, not slavery, that has brought these
evil days upon us, and the ranks of the
abolition party are full of as base traitors
to their country as ever God permitted to
breathe and walk upon his footstool. We
have such all around us, even here in

The Democracy.

Every day brings us tidings ofnew Dem
ocratic triumphs throughout the land. On
every side we hear the outburst Of that
great reaction whose distant mutterings
have for months past filled with dread the
craven minions Of unlimited power, who
quail to see their hypoeritical pretentions
unnasked, the film falling from the eyes Of
the people, and the return of reason expo
sing their corruptions to popular view and
themselves to popular indignation. Yet
its march is onward, onward though the
hand of power has essayed to crush it and
the argument of might and calumny have
combined to check it. The baneful
blaze that swept over the North in
November $50 had scarcely begun to
subside ere it was kindled anew from the
eubers of burning Sumter Misrepresen-
tation was used to blind the people through
a fanaticised press, till the resistless storm
had brought desolation to the hearthsones
of the people and bankruptcy to the Trea-
suryof the nation. But the sad experience
ola year has taught them again the lesson
they had forgotten in the pride of prosperity.
They are beginning to dig among the
wreck and ruin Of war for the dishonored
fragments Of their shattered Constitution,
and they turn again to the old party
which had ever been lis support in time
of peace and its defence in time Of war.
That party has passed through the
ordeal Of calumny and come out stronger
and more deeply rooted in the hearts of
the people. It's eminent services In tho past
are now being appreciated and the millions
deluded by the emissaries of corruption
are rushing to the banner of equal rights.
The Constitution is its platform, liberty
its motto, and peace, prosperity and ma
tional happiness its mission. We offer our
congratulations to our gallant friends
whose noble efforts have been crowned
with success; and bid them God speed in
the great work Of redemption, Nd. Re

WENDELL PHILLIPS. -This notorious
Abolitionist and Disunionist is still suffer-
ed by the Government to run at large,
and belch forth his insulting and treason
able sentiments. Why is this I? Is there
one law for an Abolitionist and another
for Democrat? 1t would really seem
SO, or this pestilent fellow would long ere
this have been stopped in his infamous
career, and been consigned to a prison, or,
which would be better still, to gallows.
There are scores now confined in Fort
Warren, any one of whom never uttered
the tenth part Of the reasonable language
that he has spewed out Of his filthy mouth.
He openly avows himself rank disunion-
list, and is doing all he can to widen the
breach between the North and the South,
and render restoration of the Union inn
possible. And yet his treason is winked
at, if not encouraged, by those in authori-
ty !-Lancaster lntelligencer.

If any of the citizens of the Border States ever
entertained any doubt as to the course which the
Republican party meant to pursue in regard to
the rights of the States, we think that they have
only to look to the action of that party during
the present session of Congress, to become con-
WINGED that they have not turned from theiE evil
way, or abandoned in any particular the detest-
able doctrines of the Chicago Platform The
doctrine of that platform is destruction to the
institutions of the Slave States, and an abandon
ment of every principle upon which the Govern
ments of States were formed and in violation
of the agreements among the States when they en-
tered the Union; and yet Congress daily by its
is not necessarily an interference with the local
affairs of the States; it is merely a recommends
ton to the people of the States to change their
institutions, or some of them. Well, fit be not
an unwarrantabe interference we are at loss to
know by what name it should be called. 1t is,
to say the least of it, claim to concurrent juris-
diction, authority for the exercise of which, we
opine, cannot be found in the Constitution.
We do not charge all who seem to act with
this party as being either Abolitionsts or Re-
publicans, but the aid given to them is given to
the veriest enemies of the institutions of the State
in which we i've. In view of the success of this
doctrine and the schemes of the more violent abo-
litionists, the great State of Pennsylvania has
taken alarm, and, as we are informed by the
newspapers, has more than one bill before her
Legislature, inficting severe penalties ON negroes
who may, after its passage, enter the State. No
better evidence need be desired than this, to
show that the Republican party are dishonest
and that no barrier of the Constitution is strong
enough to protect thei rights of the States, if
they have sufficient power to break over it.
Pennsylvania does not want the negroes that
she desires to iberate, nor are we surprised at it,
but it does seem strange that she would infict
an evil on her sister States which she is unwill-
ing to share with them, Pennsylvania, it is true
is chained to the Black Republican car, as are ali
the Free States just now, but the day is not far
distant, we hope, when her Democracy may
rise, as one man, and hurl from power those who
abuse the confidence reposed in them by the peo-
pie.
We agree with contemporary, that the Demo-
crazy of the North and West are now, as ever.
opposed to interference with the Constitutional
rights Of the States; and for proof of the fact we
have only to look to their action in Congress on
the various propositions which have been sub
mitted to initiate Abolition and other schemes of
Q kindred nature. Whatever issues may divide

You have often wondered whether the
men wear their overcoats, knapsacks, hay-
ersacks, and carry their blankets, when
going to battle. That depends upon cir
cumstances. Sometimes, when they are
marching, they fndSthemseves 10 battle
before they know it, Iremember that on
the 18th of July, three days before the
battle of Bull Run, when suddenly the
enemy fred upon them, and the men had to
fight just as they were, only q great many
threw down their coats and blankets and
haversacks, SO that they could fight freely
and easily. You also wonder whether the
regiments fire regularly in volleys, or
whether each man fires as fast as he can.
That, also, depends upon circumstances,
but usually, except when the enemy is near
at hand, the regiments fire only at the
command of their officers. You hear
drop, drop, drop, as a few Of the skirmish-
ers fire, followed by rattle and roll,
which sounds like falling of building,
just as some Of you have heard the brick
walls tumble at great fire. Sometimes,
when body of the enemy's cavalry are
sweeping down upon regiment to cut it to
pieces, the men form square with the
officers and musicians in the centre. The
front rank stands with bayonets charged,
so that if the enemy should come upon
them, they would run against picket
fence of bayonets. When they form in
this way, the other two ranks load and FIRE
as fast as they can. Then the roar is
terrific, and many horse and his rider
goes down before the terrible storm ofiron
hail.
Cor A TARIFF. The laboring classes
of Pennsylvania, says the Sunbury Demo
cyat. have at last got good Republican
tariff. The very kind of one that the
Republicans promised them-a real live
high tariff-one that knocks "free trade
and cheap goods into "kingdom come"
and ''gives protection to home industry"
such as manufacturing rye coffee, trying to
raise sugar cane for molasses, and raising
and spinning flax to supply the place of
cotton goods, which have become so ex-
cessiveiy high in these good Republican
high tariff times, that poor people cannot
afford to buy them. This Republican
high tariff is a splendid institution. It
keeps all rascally foreign products from
running this country by selling the labor
ing man coffee for 10 cents per pound,
when he can just as we'll be made pay %
cents, and from dressing his family with
cotton goods at 10 cents per yard, when
he can just as well have them dressed with
the same goods at 20 cents. The poor
laboring man has been the object Of tender
regard among the Republican leaders; he
gets about half the wages he used to, and
pays twice as much for what he buys, and
that is certainly great protection

Masonic FUNERAL CEREMONIES. Last Sunday,
being the day set apart for the funeral service or
the late Mr.. Barnett Johnson by the Free Masons
of Mount Ararat Lodge, No. A, of Bel Air, and
the weather being fine, large collection of peo-
pie gathered in the town at an early hour. -
About eleven O'Clock the Masons formed in front
Of their hall, and marched to the Methodist Epis-
copal Church. The church, although large, was
insufficient to hold all desiring an entrance, and
many were compelled to remain outside, or 90
away ungratifed. The service in the church
was conducted by Rev. Dr.. Swentzel, of the
Methodist Protestant Church, who selected for
his text part of the 4th verse of the 4th chapter
of the Epistle to st. James, in these words: aFor
what is your life? It is vapor that appeareth
for little time, and vanisheth away The
Doctor handled his subject with much abili-
ty, and greatly to the satisfaction Of all who
heard him. After the service the members of
the Lodge repaired to the Rock Spring buryine
ground, and at the grave performed such service
as is required by the order to which they belong,
and paid the last sad tribute of respect to a de-
parted brother, and one who in life was a faith
full member Of their fraternity, useful member
Of society, and q worthy and upright citizen. !
