Clerk to the Next House Of Representa-
tiVes.

We learn from our exchanges that the Hon.
Thomas B. Florence, of Pennsylvania, is men
toned in some quarters in connection with the
Clerkshp of the next House of Representatives.
Mr.. Florence is well known 70 the country as
one of the editors and proprietors of the Coasti-
tutiona Union published in Philadelphia, and
also as having been member of Congress for
some ten or twelve years. While in Congress,
he ranked high as an active, intelligent and en-
ergetic member, and his knowledge of the rules of
the House eminently fit him for the position of
Clerk. As politician, no man has been more
consistent than Mr.. Florence His devotion to
the cause of Democracy has never Jagged, and
the energy and ability with which he has ex-
posed the corruptions and frauds of the party in
power, through his paper, justly enttle him to
the respect Of conservative men everywhere.

ABOLITION MASSACHUSETTS,
Republican Contemporaries boast over the
Abolition triumph in Massachusetts,
They may take her. She has hung Qua
kers for opinions sake. She has whipped
men for kissing their wives on Sunday
She has resisted the Federal laws. She was
the author of the Hartford Convention.
She manufactured blue lights burned
at New London for the benefit of our ene-
mics in the last war. She has mobbed
converts and refused to pay the loss.
She refuses charters to colleges which
do not subscribe to the religious senti-
ments of her people. She resolved the
Union dissolved because we added the
lone star of Texas to our banner. She
welcomes her negro population to the
polls, and drives white men away because
of their poverty or their place of birth
She imprisons Democrats and refuses
to furnish men for the army, except upon
conditions. God forbid that she should
vote the Democratic ticket.-Mil,caukee

To My Fellow Citizens of the State of
MARYLAND.

After an incarceration of seventeen
months in four of The Forts of the United
States, now converted by the Government
into prisons which have no similitide but
in the Bastle Of France, l avail myself of
the first moment of my return to my ma
tive State to address brief word to you
In this imprisonment am understood
to have been the special victim of Mr..
Secretary Seward, who, in concert with
his hired millions, has omitted no occasion
to heap upon me accusations which he
knew to be false, and therefore dared not
bring to the ordeal of public trial.
To these charges the despotic ceusor-
ship of the prisons in which | have been
kept allowed me no reply; and I can only
now promise that in due time and upon
proper occasion Mr.. Seward shall hear
from me in a way which will procure for
him, if he has not already acquired it, the
contempt of every honest man and woman
in the land.
Without having been held upon any
specific charge, l am turned out of prison
without any reason being assigned for it !;
and thus, in my arbitrary arrest and
release, [ illustrate the most fragrant VIC
lation of constitutional liberty.
1t would be unbecoming the dignity of
the subject to cast abusive epithets upon
the author of this gross outrage; but
when allowed the opportunity pledge
myself, under pain of the forfeiture of the
good opinion you have always honored me
with, to show that all that is bad in a
man, unpatriotic in u citizen, and corrupt
in an officer, finds itself concentrated in
this individual. GEO p. KANE.

Carolina lying east of the Weldon and Whining
ton railroad.
Extracts from late Southern papers are inter-
esting. Advices from the Rappahannock, receiv-
ed in Richmond indicate, it is said, the near APP
proach of Il battle at fredericksburg. Confidence
is expressed in the Confederate army and its
commanders. Col. Tmboden is reported to have
had skirmish near New Creek, Hampshire
county, Va, recently, in which a Federal Gen
eral was killed. The recent captures of Coincide
rates in Western Virginia by Col Paxon, is con-
frmed 1t is stated that several large vessels pas
sed Charleston on Saturday, the 3Oth ult., bound
South, and that fleet of twenty vessels sailed
from Hilton Head on the Friday previous. The
destination of the feet is supposed to be, either
Georgetown, South Carolina, or Wilmington,
North Carolina. The Federal force at Suffolk,
Va, is said to be thirty thousand, having for its
object movement against Petersburg, Va,
while the force at Newbern, N. c., will at the
same time, it is supposed, advance against Wei
don.
1t is reported that a number of suffers wag-
ons have been captured near Dumfries by Con-
federate cavalry, and it is considered unsafe to
pass beyond that place without cavalry escort.
Dumfrics is in Prince William county, on Guam
tico creek, about six miles from the Potomac
river. 1t is also reported that large number of
army wagons were captured in the same week.
A fight lasting two hours took place at Coffee
vile, Mississippi, on Friday last in which tie
Con!ederates, four thousand strong, were defeat
ed by the Federal cavalry force. Cotfeevillc is

south of Oxford point where it is said the main
body of the Confederate army, fifty thousand
strong, passed through on Thursday morning.
Huntsville, Tennessee, where the Federal bri-
gade was captured on Sunday last, is forty-fye
miles northwest of Nashville.

WHO Is THE CONTRACTOR ?-One

WHO Is The CONTRACTOR ?-One
of the army correspondents of the Phila-
delphia Inquirer writes as follows:
Some of the regiments attached to this
division had issued to them while at Har-
per's Ferry, the requisite number of new
shoes, to which they were entitled. Some
of these same shoes are now without soles.
Upon examination it has been discovered
that neither pegs nor thread were used in
the manufacture Of the same, but that the
soles were merely pasted on. Efforts will
be made to discover the contractor furnish
ing this particular lot, and should he be
discovered and brought this way, the boys
would like no better fun than that of
hanging him.

Why the Hon John Van Buren, Visited
Baltimore.

bdlClLuOT6,
At the great Democratic ratification
meeting, held at the Cooper Institute, in
New York, Mr. Van Buren,, in the course
of his remarks, explained the meaning of
his recent visit to Baltimore and Wash
ington thus:
"This city stands now, with all its in,
telligence, enterprise, activity, and wealth,
beside the Union, in opposition to aboli-
ton, and with our solidity force and
power that terri6es these people who are
opposed to us, that puts an end to this
idea of arbitrary arrests and teaches the
Government that their real danger lies in
the act of overstepping the laws of the
! Constitution. So long as the officials 90
in strict conformity to the laws, they may
lie allowed to hinge out sickly existence
to the close of their official term, but the
moment they depart from well-ascertained
principles Of light they resolve society into
its original elements, and they give notice
to us who have physical force, not only
that physical force rests with the gov
:
is obedience to God [Great applause ]
The real security of Mr.. Lincoln
and his Cabinet, and the men who are
now administering the government of this
country, lies in their faithful obedience to
the Constitution. Good The moment
they depart one line from it, they resolve
society into its original elements and make
it question of physical force, and in this
community, and in New Jersey, with its
$4,000 majority for the Democratic ticket,
and in portions of New York. State, if
they transcend in one lue the letter of
the written Constitution, [ would not an
swer for the personal safety of any man
connected with the Government who
should set his foot on our territory
[Applause. They have talked Of arres-
ting prominent men on our side. They
have spoken at times Of arresting me-
[Laughter.] Not to me; they would not
tell such nonsense to me, but to sick rela
tives, women and children. Renewed
laughter | told them that they did not
dare to arrest me in New York City
The physical force was too strong. They
thought they would arrest me in Phiadel-
phia, where they had majority, and l
went there to see if they would Laugh
teri They did not do it there, and
went to Baltimore, and as they did not do
it there [ went to Washington, and into
the Presidents House. Laughter and
applause.] And as my business there
has been IA subject of considerable CONVEX
sation, | now state that [ had no business
on earth there except to see whether they
wanted to arrest me; but they did not dare
to do it so long as l kept inside the con-
stituton and the laws for though very
moderate lawyer, know law enough not
to violate it, and l knew perfectly well
they did not dare to arrest me as they had
arrested women. know this, that if any
man connected with the illegal arrests
that have been made in New York State,
sets his foot upon the soil of New York
State, | will arrest him. TChcers long
and continued. And, so help me God,
be shall be brought to such punishment
as the Constitution and. the laws of this
country admits. Renewed cheers

ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THE WILL OF
THE PEoPLE.-The editor of the New
York Erpress, JAS. Brooks, who has just
been elected to Congress, says:
"The only peril to conservative ma
jority in the next Congress is bogus militia
~ members from the Slave States, cleo.
ted in camps by Abolition regiments, to
do Abolition duty in Congress. The Adj
minlstration managers may have-doubt-
less do have-such bogus members of
Congress in contemplation--and Texas
may be represented with some of them, or
Florida, or Virginia, porhaps-but if it be
attempted thus to rob the Northern people
of their suffrage and their rights, woe be
unto the managers who make such reyolu.
tionary attempts"

that Gen. Mcclellan only marched 6

in marching from Pittsburg Landing to
Corinth, distance of II miles, occupied
81 days, being an average of furlongs, 4

The CHANGE IN PUBLIC OPINION
The change in public opinion within the
last few months is most strikingly evinced
in the case of Mr.. Mahoney of the Dubu-
que Herald When he was seized and
taken to Washington, the wanton outrage
was generally and loudly applauded -
The Chicago Times denounced his nomi-
nation for Congress soon after as "disre-
spect for the authority of the govern
ment!" There were few who would or
dared defend him. How now? The pco.
pie of his county worship him. The press
everywhere praises him. None now de-
nounce him. The innocent man is free.
He is welcomed home by rejoicings and
illuminations The right has triumphed
