A Horse Sell.

Many incidents connected with the
horse purchases for Government will
probably become matters of history here
after, and we will add one just learned
from friend, which we think will stand
pre- eminent among the evidences of the
honesty of the loyal men who ected as
agents for the Government.
A number of horses were purchased at
various prices in the Juniata region. which
were examined and passed by an inspec-
tor named Sherburne. AS Government
had no forage, the horses were placed
among the farmers in the vicinity to board.
Among the rest. an old farmer on Shaner's S
creek was allotted six head He took ex-
cellent care of them, and was getting along
finely. until oae day one of them slipped
his VIVID and his spirit scared away to
where cats is plenty. the pasture forever
green. and no drivers lash to goad him on
to labor r--fabulously known as horse
heaven. The farmer was alarmed. because,
honest. Conscientious man as he was, he
feared Government would hold him re,
sponsble for the loss of this fine army
nag. In order to clear his skirts. il pos
sible. he summoned half dozen OF his
neighbors TO hold an inquest and pos
mortene examination over the dead body o.
the charger. that they might testify thai
he did not die of neglect or inattention
The conclave assembled. and, after due
deliberation, decided that the horse had
died Of old age--one Of the jury of Inquest
testifying that he had known the anima

What has been done for the Negro.

"What right have the free States to call on the
negro to help in this contest any other7 What
have they done for the nosro!"-LouisrilIe XVI
Democrat.
What has been done for the negro? What inn
pertnence. Better ask what we have not done
for him.
Why we have divided the churches and almost
forsaken the gospel for him.
We have established and maintained anti slave
ry and colonization societies especially devoted
to the "amelioratioa of his condition"
We have stoutly maintained the r ght of petition
in his behalf in Congress.
We have refrained from annexing Cuia and
Mexico on his account.
We established the Missouri Compromise line,
and then uncstabIishcdit. all for his benefit.
We have established underground railroads,
over which he can ride without a "pass." and
without having his baggage searched" white
men can't.)
We support Supreme Judges who write vou-
luminous opinions dissenting from the decisions of
the courS-supposcd to be Otu1 dctum-in his
behalf.
We have established " emigrant aid societies "
for his sole benefit.
We got Up three years war in Kansas exclu-
sivey for his benefit.
We have passed "pcrsonal liberty bills and
attempted to nulfy the constitution, for his bcie
fit.
We have destroyed printing presses and motbcd
public speakers on his account.
We have excited riots and broken jails in mis-
behalf.
We have humbled and Inundated ourselves in
the dust at the feet Of other notions on his account.
We have maintained feet for many years to
prevent his emigration to country for his ben
eft.
We have for years devoted about two thirds of
the time in the sessions OF Congress TO the discuss
ion of his interests
We have discountenanccd the consumption of
tobacco rice and sugar, for his benefit.
! We cultivate Sorghum" and " fiax-cotton,'
and write silly articles "on the culture of cotton
in the Northern States" with view TO advance
civilization and "ameliorate his condition"
! We have instructed our government agent in
Egypt to unite with British agents in efforts TO
certain if the production of Egyptian cotton
could not be made to rival that produced in the
Southern States, for his benefit.
! We elected A. Lincoln. Esq, TO the Presidency
of the United States, solely for his benefit
We make and unmake Major Generals almost
daily with view to his interest.
! We occasionally issue p-oclamations concerning
! his welfare
! We allow our learned Secretary of State to give
him passport to visit foreign countries. under
protection of our Government, like +" any other
man."

of December, and all that time our army
has been in reposs. What the expediture
will increase to when that great day shall
arrive when our eyes shall be gladdened
with sight Of the army in motion, he
didn't know. And this hundred millions
will 20 with the hundred more he had
enume rated Another hundred millions
may DO added to these before the 4th Of
March. What it may cost to put down
the rebellion he cared very little, provided
alwaps that it be put down effectually. But
faith without works is dead, and he was
free to confess that his faith sometimes
fails him-he meant his faith in men-not
his faith in the cause. When the history
of these times shall be written it will be a
question upon whom the guilt will rest
mos. heavy upon him who has conspired
to destroy. or upon him who has proved
incompetent TO preserve, the institutions
bequeathed by our fathers.
at is no wonder that the public treasury
trembles and staggers like a strong man
with too great burthen upon him. A
strong man in an airexhausted receiver
is not more helpless to day than is the
treasury Of the government beneath the
exhausting process to which it is subjected.
The mighty monarch Of the forest himself
may hold at bay the fercest and mightiest
of his foes. while the vile cur, coming
up behind him and opening his fangs.
gives him fatal wound, and, although he
may struggle on boldly and valiantly, tho
life blood is silently trickling from his
heart, and he is at last forced to loosen his
grasp, and he grows faint and falters and
dies.
I'm conclusion. lie said it is impossible
that the treasury Of the United States can
meet and continue to meet this state of
things sixty days longer. and an ignomln
ious peace must be submitted to, unless
we see to it that the credit of the country
is sustained. and sus stained too by the con
viction going forth from this hall to the
people of the country that we will treat AS
traitors not only those who are bold and
manly enough to meet us face to face in the
field OF strife, but all those who clandes
timely and stealthily suck the life blood
from us in this mighty struggle.

DEATH OF GEORGE Il. BuELL.-It IS with
profound sorrow that we announce the
death of George p. Buell. for we suppose
there is no doubt but that he was drowned
in the Ohio River. at Cincinnati, last
Friday morning. Mr.. Buell. has been
connected with several prominent papers
in Indiana and Ohio. lie started the
Western Democratic Reyiew at lndanapo-
lis, and afterwards removed it to Wash
ington. He represented Marion county
in the Indiana Assembly, some ten years
ago. Last summer he joined our army in
Western Virginia as a volunteer Aid to
Gen. Dumont. and received very com
plimentary notice in that officers report
for his bravery and mer:torious conduct at
the battles Of Rich mountain and Carrick' s

The Newspaper suppression Bill

The large city republican daily Journals
are raising great clamor against the bill
introduced into the House by Mr.. Colfax.
the republican member from the South
Bend. Indiana. district, prohibiting the
carrying of newspapers by express compa-
nies or railway trains. and forbidding their
sale on such trains. aud requiring ;hat
they shall be carried exclusively in the
mails. The bill comes from the Commit
Tee on the Postollice, of which Mr.. Colfax
is chain man.
The bill is abominable as these rcpubl;.
can journals describe it. Nothing can be
said in its favor. unless it be desirable
that newspapers shall be suppressed But
il is not because it is intrinsicaly abomi-
nable that these republican journals are
clamerous against it. Since the republi-
cans have had majority in Congress
they have passed measures in,rinsically
quite as bad as this. and these journals
have uttered no word of protest against
them. The Morrill, tariff was such
measure. for it threw away revenue. Just
when revenue was about TO be more than
ever before needed. in order to give pro.
lection TO favori,e class interests. Another
such measure was the immense appropria-
ions at the July extra session, without
taxation TO sustain them. We need not
enumerate others, since they suggest them
selves to the reader Ii is because the
measure would directly affect them injuri
ously. that these republican journals are
in hot pursuit Of it. determined to strike
il down if possible. They are animated
by no regard for the general public welfare.
II is visions Of attenuated subscription lists
that disturb them. They had no unwel-
come visions when the Morrill, tariff levied
outrageous taxes upon portion Of the
people. They were not the ox gored then.
Now they are that OK.
We do not know whether the bill will
pass. We are not surprised that it was
brought forward. and we shall not be sur
pr,sed if it goes through; simply because
we have ceased to be surprised at any
thing at the hands Of the republicans
Their knowledge Of government is ex-
,remely crude. and they are more likely to
produce bad than good measures. For our
own part. we are quite prepared for the
passage Of this postoffice measure. - Times

New Hampshire Democratic State
Convention.

Ex- Gov. Williams reported the resolu-
tions adopted by the convention. We
quote a few Of the series to show the
spirit of the Granite State Democracy:
Resolced, That we denounce northern
aboli,onism and southern secession as the
co operating sources Of our present ca
lamities-alike reasonable to the cors,i
utoL and inmical to the Union. The
only way to restore the Union and re-
spected constitution, with returning peace
and prosperity. is through the overthrow Of
the enemies to both.
Reso;rrd. That the constitution is the
supreme law Of the land; and no State has
the right to secede therefrom, and dissolve
its connection with the Union which that
constitution was made to secure. except
for causes which will justify revolution.
Resolped. That in this national emer
gency banishing all feelings Of mere pas.
sion or resentment. the democracy Of New
Hampshire will recollect only their duty to
the whole country; that this war should
no. be waged in the spirit of oppression,
or for any purpose of conquest or subju-
CATION, or for the purpose Of overthrow
ing or interfering with the rights or es-
tabished institutions Of any Of the States,
but to defend and maintain the supremacy
Of the constitution. and the rights Of all
the States in the Union. and to preserve
the Union: and that. az soon as these OBJ !.
jects are accomplished. the war will close.
Resolced. That in the language Of An
drew Jackson, THE Federal Union must
and shall be preserved"
Rcsolred. That in the loyal States now
exempt from the presence of troops and
the necessity of military government. we
do not believe in the right nor the expe-
diency Of abolishing due freedom of speech
and the press by force, whether exercised
by the government or the mob, nor i'm
