IntOIerant InSolence.

The Harrisburg Telegraph, the official
organ of the State Government, last week,
sent out the subjoined beautiful specimen
of political impudence =
They 0he Democrats) want the orga-
nization of the Legislature in their hands,
that they may send greeting to their old
allies in he south, signals of sympathy
They want power now to aid rebellion
This is their only object and purpose in
attempting to get possession of the orga-
nization Of the House of Representatives"
Cool impudence would be mild desig-
nation for such consummate impertincnce.
The Democratic Party is now, as it al
ways has been, the only Union Party in
Pennsylv ania, and this fact was re-afirmed
at the late Election, by over forty-three
thousand majority. In view of the fore
going monstrously false paragraph, and
its gross violation of the truth of history,
we incline to the opinion, that even the
Editor Of. the Harrisburg Telegraph, will
on refection--hide his head and blush
in shame.

erywhere as old fcgyish, and cred tape"
was the name Of all that was held up as
odious, sluggish, bombastical and foolish, /,
because 1t was regular and authorized. In
the Western Department the gentlemen
who raised the outcry about tired tape"
had it all their own way, and the report
tells US as the net result Of that "tremen.
dous energy" which fourished there, that
"the responsibility of public officers has in
many cases been unnecessarily removed
by the employment of irresponsible agents
in purchase of large quantities of supplies,
even where responsible, experienced and
upright public officers were in position
to perform the required duty"
We need add nothing to such state
ment as this. The object of it was obvi.
Gus enough to the committee and will be
to the public. The whole expose is truly
lamentable, and betrays a sameful dispo-
sition to take advantage of the public
calamlties, which, IN our Judgment, 1t IS
the imperative duty of the government to
punish. Fremont was promptly punished
for his mismanagement by dismissal from
his command. Wool was sternly ordered
from New York back to the Troy Arsenal
and there left to his thoughts for many
months. The Union Defence Committee
suddenly found his preposterous prcten-
sions put down with a strong hand. But
this is not enough. The Spectators and
peculators ought all to be prosecuted Grim
inally and imprisoned for the offences they
have committed. And if there are still
any culprits in Office, they ought to be dis.
missed and their places supplied by better
men,

The Legislature.

The session of the Legislature begins on
next Tuesday, January 7th. There is a
probability that several questions of inter-
est relating to contested seats in the House
will come up for decision. The legality
Of the Army vote (Which is undergoing
inquiry in the courts Of Luzerne and Phia-
delphia) is involved in the return of men,
bers from Luzerne. And the right OF
certain counties to separate geprrsentati'n
in the House, arises upon the election in
Bedford county.
Contested elections in the House are
decided by Committees, drawn by lot, who
sit under oath, in the capacity of court
This arrangement is we'll calculated to Sc
cure justice and prevent mere partisan
decisions.

Government Suspension.

The following is from the N. y. Ere
niag Post of Monday last -
The Secretary of the Treasury has
directed the Assistant Treasurer of this
port and instructions of like nature have
probably been forwarded to the Govern
ment officers at other prominent points, to
suspend specie payments on all claims
save the principal and interest of the pub
lie debt, falling due en- the first of January.
Public creditors, with the exceptions named,
are now paid in United States Demand
notes. The Assistant Treasurer at the
same time ceases to redeem these notes,
but receives all denominations, whether
payable at New York or elsewhere, in
payment of debts due the Government"
So it appears, that simultaneously with
the su'pension of specie payments by the
banks, there is also partial suspension by
the Government. 1t is clear that the
Treasury demand notes ought never to
have been issued by the Government, and
we conclude the above order of the Sec
retary of the Treasury is owing, in great
part, to the existence of th lose notes in cir.
cu'ation. Being, like bank notes, payable
sithout interest on presentation, the sus-
pension Of the banks wo1ld cause them to
be presented for immediate redemption in
coin. But the Government finds it incon.
venient if not impossible to redeem them
at once, and if presented throws them back
,'iscreditcd upon the holders.
The act Of Congress, at the former ses'
zion, authorizing the issue of $50, 100000
OF this paper, was most unwise and un
fortunate. 1t put the national credit il
peril, and placed the Government in th
position of bank of issue. We suppos,
it is scarcely worth while inquiring b,
what authority the Secretary makes thi
order suspendiug the payment of the notes
So many things are occurring to Surpris
the country, that this question need not b
singled Out for debate.

Bank Suspension.

The banks of New York suspended the
redemption of their notes in coin on last
Monday morning in consequence of an
agreement entered into by them on the
previous Saturday, and the banks at Bos.
ton, Philadelphia, and other places have
followed their example. The suspension
will be general throughout the country
and we are thus to have added TO other
existing evils, that of an irredeemaHe cur.
rencg The suspension is represented as
q cautonary measure. There is no lack of
coin at present, but, it is said, there may
be such lack, if the banks continue to re-
deem their notes, as required by law
There is much more coin than usual in the
country, but because it is apprehended
that the bank supply may become less and
the banks be compelled to purchase it at
a premium, they choose to stop the re-
demption of their notes and let the com.
munity suffer. But, as they owe their
note holders legal coin, on demand, what
justice is there in Withholding it on such a
pretence' Let them pay their debts ac.
cording to the legal obligation binding
upon them let them perform their con-
tracts in good faith, and they will only
have discharged their duty and rendered
obedience to the laws. They cannot OBJ
ject that the redemption of their notes is
more expensive than they expected that
is one of the risks voluntarily assumed by
banks of issue, and to be borne by them
without complaint. Are they to receive
all the profits of their business and incur
none of its burdens? If they have not
coin enough to pay their notes, which is
the most reasonable, that they shall buy
it, or let their notes 60 unpaid to the great
injury and loss of those who hold theml
In this case, the New York banks sus-
pended with s2a,ooo,ooo of specie on
hand.

Abolitionists Rampant.

1t seems, says the Police Gazette, as
though we are never to get rid Of the ev-
erlasting niger, but that he is to be dish.
ed up to US morning, noon and night, in
such form and shape as our tormentors
think best adapted to their malignant pur.
poses. The President is evidently just
and conservative in his policy, which does
not suit these fire eating Abolitionists, and
they are determined, if possible, to drive
him to following their plans. To this end
they are holding caucuscs, offering resolu-
tions in Congress, making speeches and
cutting up various other antics character
istic of the race, but they are destined to
disappointment, as we do not believe that
President Lincoln will ever submit to be.
come party to their insane plans. Con.
gress has no authority whatever to abolish
slavery in any State and if they should
pass an act to that effect it would be void
in itself, and we would be sure to elect
men to the next Congress that would wipe
the illegal enactment from the statute book.
1t is full time that something was done
with these incendiarics, for they are real
ly doing more injury to the country than
the Secessionists, and if the President
would direct his Marshals to take charge
Of one Lovejoy and one Stevens, who
have obtained seats in Congress, and also
about two or three hundred of their CO.
conspirators outside of Congress, and give
them berth at Fort Lafayette or War
ren, he would do the country more good
than could be accomplished by an army
of fifty thousand men. These are the
men who have been instrumental in plum.
ging the country into civil war, and are
now doing everything in their power to
prolong it, and to add to its horrors
They do not enlist either as soldiers or Of
fcers, for they fear to meet hail storm
of laden bullets but they stay at home,
seek for contracts or fat offices, and then
occupy their leisure time in concocting
schemes that must result in making the
strife more sanguinary than the most
blood thirsty could desire. There must
be an end put to their operations, and
that soon, or more evil will ensue.

EX.PREsIpENT BUcHANAN.-A CAL
un1ny Contradhted.-We are requested
by gentleman whose official position at
the time enabled him to know all the facts
to contradict calumny recently trans
mitted to notorious New York press by
one of those letter writer's here whose un.
scrupulous missives arc well calculated to
bring discredit on the whole fraternity -
This gentleman denies that the Prince of
Wales ever presented TO President Buchan-
an any pictures Of the Royal Family for
the Presidential Mansion or for any other
purpose.
The Prince, shortly before be embarked
for England, sent to Miss Lane, as to.
ken of personal regard, six loose sheets
containing likenesscs Of the Queen, Prince
Albert and four of their royal Children
She had them plainly framed at her own
expense and hung up in the family sitting
room until she should return to Wheat.
land.
The charge in relation to the Chinese or
Japanese curiosities, in the same letter, is
equally untrue. All the articles presented
to President Buchanan by the japanese
Ambassadors were, by his direction de-
posted in the Patent Office, with the origi.
nal list, and receipt taken for them.

paign, we often heard Col. Wright him
self proclaim to the people his unalterable
attachment for the Union, his horror of
abolitionsm, prophecying civil war and
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Union from Lin
coins success on the Chicago platform,
amid the jeers and SCOTS Of the Republican
party. Nor can we forget the fact TINT
Seward and Lincoln have for years pro.
mulgated the doctrine that this country
must be all free or all slave-that Banks
was willing to "let the Union slide,"
rather than to 60 party success-that tho
radical abolition element has long de-
nounced I" the Constitution as league
with death and covenent with hell" and
that slavery should be abolishedssb by act of
Congress-and last, though by no means
least, that last winter, when secession had
not foot-hold out Of South Carolina, that
party to a man voted down Mr.. Crtten.
den's propositions for adjustment, when
their prompt adoption would undoubtedly
have stayed the progress of rebellion and
saved the country. They seemed to pre-
fer the Chicago platform, the hazards of
war and the chances Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
to yielding a mc'e abstraction,-These are
facts-they are part of the history Of this
struggle and of these times, and they point
as with the finger of unerring destiny to
but the one conclusion; Congress will pass
an Emancipation Act the present Sc sson,
and we believe Mr.. Lincoln will sign it.
His inclinations would naturally be that
way, and when to them is added the ac-
tive and reliable sentiment of his party in
its favor, it will be almost miracle if he
should resist it. To do SO he would be
obliged to cast off his party friends aud
throw himself into the hands of the De-
mocracy for support. That party is pow
erless in Congress, and will the President
dare place his Administration in the hands
of powerless opposition, at a time. when
the strength of Congress is paratively
necessary for the mantainancc Of the poll
icy he has marked out7 We fear not, al
though we wish that he might, for we be-
lievc in the end he would be most trium-
phantly sustained by the people.
The conservative people of the north
probably care very little about the aboli
ton of slavery abstractly; but they see
in it destruction to the laboring interest
they see that it would paraize the ener-
gies of the government, and 60 far to rev.
olutionize every grade OF fsociety. We are
in no position to survive such a shock.
