CLEARFIELD, NAY %, 1862.

The great spprehensious Of the
Democratic leaders seems TO be that
tho slaves 1t the south are about to
be emancipated, and will overrun
the north. The free negro popula-
tion Of tho north, according to the
Qast census Is 222. .745, and Of the
slave States 259,O7S. being an in
crease Of So, ,667 in the slave States.
Now II there be such danger OF
emancipated slaves overrunning the
North, why have the 259,O76 free
negroes above named remained at
che South Z In many States the
most stringent laws have been enact
cd for driving them out-even re.
ducing them to slavery in some in
stances, and yet they have refused
10 come north. The reason Is that a
warm climate Is natural to the negro,
and he will remain in 1t If possible,
and seek Il II permitted. There is
more probability OF free negroes 60.
Ing south if slavery IL done away,
than coming north.

DO YOU PRAY IN the MORNING? As you
leave your bed, is your very first act to knee
by your bedside, and give your heavenly Fa.
ther thanks for your protection during the
night Surely hours Of sound sleep, the
health enabling you to rise, the protection Of
your property from fire, with namberless 9TH
or thugs we cannot mention, are things for
which to be thankful Tney are certainly
werth thanking God Tor, if they are worth
anything at ali. When some of your house
nod have been very sick, You have been but
100 thankful to obtain their recovery by nights
OF weary watching, and by expensive fees Of
physicians Is it worth less TO have them
aad yourself kept entirely from sickness For
keeping J on from pain and calamity. all that
God asks OF you Is thanktulDeSs and pray err
---thaukiulnoss for what he has done, prayer
that tae same divine goodness be continued
1t you Were raised from the dead you would
think 1t bat small return to thank God Tor
such mercy. But Tor your rising rom sleep
every morning is an act OF less Kindness on the
part OF God, and less importance to yourself
only because 1t is so Coz. mon and familiar.
And there Is pleasure in expressing our thank
uIness--no pleasure more delightful to the
rlght.'oned heart 1t keeps open the springs
oil noble feeling, aud gives a high and gone
rous tone to all the other affections.

One More Rally for the Honor of Vermont

One More Rally for the Honor of Vermont
The recent call of the Government for more
troops for the war, WAS not made without what
appeared to those in authority an abundant
reason therefor. 1t was made with reference,
undoubtedly, to vigorous Summer campaign,
in which what domonstratlve life is yet left IN
the rebellion, is to be completely crushed out,
and the bogus confederate concern OF JEFF Davis
& Co. is to be most efactually squelched. 1t
was not nIde on account of the raid of Jack
son down the Shenandoah, although the call
on the Governors of the States for the militia
was occasioned by the exaggerated fright which
followed the rapid retreat of Banks into Mary
land and should not be regarded AS any less
urgent or imperative because that danger has
entirely passed away. The purpose OF the Gov
eminent, it is plain, can only be touse the troops
that are now being raised for garrison duty
and as reserve, and not to use them 10 ac-
tive service in the field unless in some wholly I'm
looked for lurn of affairs in the progress OF the
campaign The labor required OF these new
volunteers will therefore be less arduOus and,ess
hazardous than that of the seven regiments
from the State already in the field Indeed, we
doubt whether the regiments that are now being
raised IN Vermont, VIII, in any event, be COM
