influx of negroes-but that State ID under the
IAbolitionists' rule, and of what account is law
when it runs counter to their purposes; Illi-
nois has stringent laws against permitting no.
grees to come to reside within its borders, and
we believe the laws of Indiana place some impe-
diments in the way of negroes immigrating to
that State. So the probability appears very
strong that when the four millions of negroes
are let loose upon the North, Ohio, Fennsylva-
MIA and New Jersey will be the chief recepta-
cles of them. But, suppose we divide them
equally between the whole seventeen States
| this will give to each State two hundred and
thirty-tve thousand two hundred and thirty y-fve
(235. .235) in addition to the stock already on
hand. But, as we have seen, there Is no prob
ability that there will be an equal division OF
those emancipated negroes amongst the North
ern States. Pennsylvania and Ohio would be
likely to receive one half at least, of the whole
four millions The proclamation OF the Presi-
dent, if its purpose be fully realized, will very
probably add million Of negroes to the popula-
lion of Pennsylvania.

will have to be increased accordingly.
Southern products viii be vastly abridged,
and the prices of cotton goods, sugar, tobacco,

This little ''Thimbe rigger" last week adver-
tised his patriotism(D through a card published
in the Republican papers of the district, announ-
cling that he had volunteered his services as aid
to Brig Gen. Reynolds and consequently could
not meet the people Of this Congressional Dis
trict in popular meetings." This week it is
''P,esto Change" and another card appears from,
him advertising himself to speak at five or six
different points in this county during the pres
ent week. We respectfully suggest to this POI
litical demagogue, that the people of this coun-
ty generally are fully as intelligent and well in-
formed on the political issues Of the day as he
himself, and are fully competent to do their
own voting without being bored by listening to
dry and prosy speeches Of two hours and half
in length The people of this district have
weighed Mr.. MCPHERSON in the balance and he
is found wanting They want an honest man
to represent them in the United States Congress

Beecher Put to the Test.

| According to the statement of Robert v
Fitzgerald, First Sergeant, Fifth Regiment Cor.
coran Legion, formerly of the old Sixty-ninth,)
publishedin one of the Brooklyn papers, the said
Sergeant was in search of recruits for the war,
in Fulton street, in the City at Churches, on
! Monday, last and then and there meeting Beech
I, er-whom he did not then know-asked him
! to enlist under the Stars and Stripes, to fight
for the Union. Beecher was shocked and de-
nounced the recruiting sergeant as ga scoun-
drel, who fought to have known that he Beech
er) did not want to enlist"
The patriotic Irishman had evidently fallen in
with the wrong customer man who held any
one for scoundrel who took him to be patri-
OF. Had Fitzgerald read his blaspheming SER
mon, published in the Hera Id of that morning,
he could not have made such a mistake, if he
had only known the person of Beecher; for,
while in that profane discourse the clerical ac-
tor compares himself with Christ, and intimates
that hanging him and a few other radical lea
ders would have as great an effect in defeating
the rebellion and securing the abolition of sla-
very as the crucifxion of the Saviour had in o.
verthrowing Judaism and establishing Christi
anity, he confesses that he thinks too much of
his life to sacrifice it in any such cause Beech
er, Greeley, Garrison and Phillips do not want
to fight for the Union. AS the Richmond Dis
patch, in an article we published yesterday,
well observes: 'sThe Union is the god of all
parties alike, except the ultra abolitionists who,
strange to say, are the only men in the North
willing to 'let it slide The war has been car
ried on from the beginning by the conservative
classes, scarcely an abotionist is to be found
in its armies"
Greely, indeed, lately boasted that, though
they numbered 900,O 900, not one of them had
ever smelt battle. No doubt, like beecher, they
would one and all denounce as scoundrel any
man who should invite them to- fight for the
Constitution which Beecher holds to be worth
less 'sheepskin parchment" and for the Union,
which he denounces as ga monstrous outrage
upon human rights"
But the draft will fetch them up. Sergeant
Fitzgerald suggests that Beecher, who '.nsulted
the flag he bore and discountenanced enlstments,
ought to be watched by the Government, as his
conduct is very suspicious" We entirely agree
in this opinion, and the whole traitor tribe re-
quire the exercise of the utmost vigilance on
the part of the President York Heiidld.

Four Millions Of Slaves Set Free---0ne
Million Of Them to Come to Pennsylvania

1t is proposed, and intended, to liberate four
millions OF Southern slaves. What is to become
of them? Ii is lille to talk Of coonzing them,
even if they would consent to be sent away,
We have not vessels enough, if all we had should
be employed for the purpose, to transport so ma
ny people. Allowing that our sea-going vessels
would carry an average of 250 negroes each, it
would require sixteen thousand vessels to trans
port all these ''lreedmen' at one trip. One thou
/ sand vessels would have to make, each sixteen
trips, five hundred, thirty-two; two hundred and
fifty, sixty four, etc.
But we will not impeach the readers intclli-
gence further on this point. Everybody knows
that if the negroes are set free they will remain
in the United States. And when it is consider
ed that Abolitionism viii have taught them to
believe that the Northern free States are the ne
gro's paradise, it will be evident to all that the
blacks, when freed win Immediately set their
faces hitherward. Indeed, the very circumstan-
ccs Of their changed situation will beget desire
for further novelty. Besides, the theory of the
emancipatonists in this business is, that the ne
grocs will, as they must, fight their way through
to our lines-that, OH hearing that Massa Lincoln
has set them free, on papers, they will avail
themselves of whatever weapons may be within
their reacl and will slaughter such old and de-
fencelcss white men as have not gone to the war,
murder the women and children, and make off
for the federal lines, marking their way with
butchery and blood. So, the conclusion is in
evitable that if the four million of Southern
slaves are set free, we shall have them swarm
ing into the Northern States, numerous as the
frogs and the flies, the ocusts and the lice of E.
gypt. This will be the curse put upon or Pha-
raoh and las people, not because of their relus-
ing liberty to the children of Israel, but because
of their giving liberty to the children of Ham!
Now, leaving out California and Oregon, we
have seventeen free States To which of these
will the most of these negroes probably come?
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey and the States bordering on the (present)
slave States. New England, by its remote sit
uation its uninvitng climate, andits sterile soil,
woull, to great extent, escape the curse which
itspocywill entail on the other Northern States.
New York and Michigan will receive q consid-
cradle portion of the s'freedmen, Wisconsin and
Minnesota not so many Kansas, we believe,

The New York Times, commenting on the
Presidents Emancipation Proclamation says:
''From now till the first of January-the
day when this proclamation viii take effects

tween now and then, in the progress of the war,
it is hard to say.-We earnestly hope, however,
that by that time, therebellion will bel put down
by the military hand, and that tie terrible element
Of stare iaSuiqechoR mag not be iarosed."
This, we take it, is a virtual acknowledge
ment that the proclamation aims at n ''slave IN
surrection'' in the South, with its accompanying
horrors--the indiscriminate slaughter OF white
men. women and children, with the accompani-
ments of arson, rape. and all the hellish crimes
which Giddings and his associates have for
years been desiring to see perpetrated by the ne
groes upon the whites of the South
The Philadelphia NORTH american, does not
doubt that this proclamation will lead to ga reo-
ol,toa in the rebel States" which means insur-
rection and its Internal concomitants.

over tho proclamation. It SAYS, SIT is the be-
ginning of the end of the rebellion; the begin
ming of the new life of the nation. Con BLESS

for so many years, been reviling the memory OF
Washington and stigmatizing the Constitution

Greeley has given them the cue, and they will
all take up the cry: "God bless A6guham La-'

Mortgaged to the Devil.

| That the old fellow who presides over the re-
oions below must be driving thriving business in
taking mortgages on the souls of many of our
people is too se..t-eyident to deny; and if he
does not forecose on thei, ere the war is ended,
he will certainly soon thereafter demand full
fillment of the bond Therevelations of their ras-
cality almost fails even toexcite remark among
the people, for it has become so common they
have come to regard il as matter of course.
The late demand of the Government for ad-
ditional men has brought tolight the astounding
fact that the Paynasters and Quartermasters'
rolls contain the names of two thousand men
who have never appeared or been represented
by living personiication of n human being.
Their names being on the pay rolls renders it
certain that some person or persons have drawn
the salary of thesetwo thousand myths, and that
the people have been grossly robbed out of their
hard earnings; and their names appearing on
the rolls of the Quartermaster, renders it cer-
tain that their rations have been drawn by some
individuals, and sold for filthy lucre, as there
were no mouths to eat them. This, however, is
not the main injury the Government and the
people have received; but when the service of
these men was wanted, and the insurgents were
pressing hard upon our worn out and tired SOL
liers, these two hundred thousand men were
needed to beat buck the enemy and assist our
soldiers in the upequalled fight but they were
not there; they were myths, and the President
was deceived, and the people were deceived,
and our soldiers were. murdered because they
were not there to help them. A heavy load of
guilt rests upon the heads of the wretches who
have thus robbed the people and slaughtered tho
nation. We would rather have a milestone tied
to our necks, and be cast into the middle of the
sea, than TO be compelled TO answer before God
for q deed SO atrocious and foul. That the devil
has q mortgage on their souls there can be no
manner of doubts and it can never be obliter-
ated, for it is an objectionable sin.
The perpetrators of this monstrous crime
should be ferreted put at once, and caught, the
President would receive the pladdits of the
whole country if he would cause these fellows
to be Constitutionally arrested, tried and hang
ed. Mercy to such creatures is cruelty to the
whole people and to the lovers of liberty in all
parts of the world. To hang them is to deal
leniently with them in comparison with their
crime GreensJory Argus.
