THE EVILS OF TIE TINE, AND
THEIR REMEDY.
By HoN. C. r. BUCKALEW.


The capital evils winch af1ict the nation
are, a broken Union; civil war; an immense
and increasing debt; great and unexamplcd
bitterness in the social relations of men and
last, but not least, multiplied snd grave er-
rors. usurpatious and abuses Of poT er by
meu in public authority. How these evils
can bc most surely removed. and their re
currence prevented, Is the great, the all en-
crossing question which now confronts Us
and demands reply.
TIE reply is furnished in declaring the
polio" Of The Democracy of Pcnns yIvanIa-a
policy so simple, so just, so perfectly coa
u,ne can mi>understand it, or sincerely ques-
ton its fitness for The repression oiexlsting
evils.
Tha, policy is connected with sincere de
votion to the laws of the land, and with a
deep conviction of tie necessity OF maintain
ing them intact and unbroken Those laws
consist of the Constitution and statutes OF
tie United States, and the Constitutions and
statutes of the several States, and include
much Of the common law of England and
those legal guarantees of liberty which are
the boast of British history. Those laws OF
the land make up that American system OF
free government which has insured our pros
perrty and given us high place of honor
among the nations of the earth. But th"s'
laws have been assailed-that system Of free
government has been interrupted in Its course
the States are broken asunder, and sounds
of violence fill the land.
1t is timely, then, to inquire. Who have as
sailed those laws, and who are now the enc
mics of reunion and liberty? Against whom,
against what interests shall the Voice of thi>
great State be spoken and her power be ex
erted
Unouestionably the radical Abotionsts of
the North assaled the laws persistenty and
earnestly for years-by incendiary d"cu
ments transmitted through the mails, and to
excite insurrection in the South by seduc
ing negro slaves to abscond from their MAJ
ters, assisting their escape, secreting them
from pursuit, and by raising mobs to resist
their reclamation. They also created and
kept up agitation in Congress by petitions
for unconstitutional laws, and the John
Brown raid into Virginia. mission of ra
nine and blood-was assisted by their con-
tributions. and was followed by the canoni-
zation by them ofitS leader as saint. In
stigated by them. many of the Northern Leg
isIa,ures enacted stat utes to d. feat or i'm
nede the reclamation Of fugitive slaves under
the laws of the United States, thus giving
State sanction to the revolutionary spirit.
At last the Republican party was found
od and drew most ofthe Aboltionists into
it's ranks, and along with them obtained their
passions and their fatal dogma that there are
laws of the individual will higher in obl'ga-
ton than the laws of the land; and that the
latter, when they conflict with The former,
may be broken without guilt and without
reproach. 1t followed, in due course, that
the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States upon negro citizenship and
tho rights Of Southern mcn in the Territories

ATOUCHING INCIDENT.

The following morceau, contributed to the Phil
adephia Bulletin from some unknown pen, was
suggested by affecting scene in one of the army
hospitals. brave lad of sixteen years, belonging
to New England regiment tnortally woun led at
Fredericksburg, and sent to the Patent Office Hos
pital in Washington, was anxeusly looking for the
co ming of his mother As his last hour approached
and sight grew dim, he mistook sympathetic lady,
who was wping the clammy perspration from his
forhead, forthe expected one, and with smile OF
joy lighting up his pale face, whispered tenderly'
is this mother7' Them says the writer, draw
ing her towards him with all his feeble strength, he
nestled his head in her like sleeping infant
and thus died. with the sweet Gord mother on his
quiverng lips''

CURTIN AND THE TuNNACE TAX When
Andrew G. Curtin canv assed the State for
Governor IN 1860, he announced that he was
opposed to the repeal OF" So just a tar as
that imposed upon the tonnage "t the Penn
syIvania Railroad" Yet no sooner had he
taken his seat and sworn to protect and de-
fend the interests OF the Commonwealth,
than he approved bill, passed by RepublI-
can Legislature, that deprived the State OF a
Just and equitable revenue to the amount Of
100000 year, and actually released the
company from the pay yment Of 100000 al
ready due The State. With this ayfuly
heavy load of inquity upon his head, this
man Curtin has been re-nomina,ed against
the earnest protest.of he honest sentiment
of the Republican party ; and he now again
asks the sufrages of the people whom he has
betrayed.

NEGRO TO FIGur NEGRo.-Jeff Davis, so

Abraham L,ncoI.., as Abraham Lincoln learns
from hun, his last lesson taught, VIZ the en-
Payment OF negroes, half million of whom
jeff. Davis now threatens to bring into the
tie'd-we presume because his whites have

Upon the whole, in this negro fight, wo
think the rebel Jeff will have the advantage
over our President. with his negroes In the
first place, jeff Davis has the most negroes,
ten to our one, and in the second place, no
knows best how to handle them--as home
master knows more of negro nature than
master sent from abroad But between the
two kings, alas tor the poor negro. ~ b.
Now that this is 20 beco real live ns-
gro war, 1t is pity that the whites on both
sides -Nnrth and Souh-could not step out,
and leave the battles to the negroes, with the
original Abohti"nists and Secessionigts from
the North and Soaih TO officer them, If that
could only be done there would be Jubilee
among the whites everywhere while the
question Of slavery would be settled, as hui.
rnaniiarian questions generally are, by tho

the poor Indian once in America would thus

"IS THAT MOTHER 2"
Is that mother bending o'er me,
As Sne sang my cradle hymn
Kneeiing there in tears before me?
Say ?-my sight is growing dim.
Comes she from the old home, lowly,
Out among the Northern hills,
To her pet boy, dying slowly
Of wars battle wounds and ills
Mother! oh, we braveIy battled-
Battled till the day was doEe;
While the ieaden hail-storm ratified
Man to man, and gun to gun.
But we failed; and 1 am dying
Dying in my boyhood's years;
There, no weeping; self-denyng,
Noble deaths demand no tearsi
Fold your arms again around me;
Press again my aching head:

TUESDAY MORNING, FEB. 10, 1868.
Outrage upon the Press.

II aroused from sleep, by crash over our
head. We got up, and found Q man with
a drawn sabre at our door. We escaped
by rear passage, and called some friends.
We returned to find the yandalls beating
retreat III the direction Of Major Browns
quarters, and giving three cheers for the
Lost Children" We took q survey Of our
position. Front door smashed IN; window
sashes aud pahes, ditto; and a few in the
post Office adjoining. In the printing Of
fce-everything upset the type knocked

Palladium, the press PROSTATE.
What think ye Of this, freeneh and 10y
nj, Of the North! IF the perpetrators of
this think that there is no hereafter, it may
seem cheerful way Of spending a mid
night half hour, but If we read the laws of
our land Alright, 1t is nothing less than
housekeeping and robbery, for which is
prescribed the States prison.
Now for the probable cause OF this out
rage. As faithful chroniclers Of the times,
we have had occasion during the month
past, to make mention of certain acts of
Major Brown and his command. We con-
fined ourselves strictly to facts, and in
dulged In no personalities to which obiec-
zion could be taken, excepting BY those to
whom the truth Is iinpI,aalatable. We should
be better pleased to devote our small col
timns to matter more entertaining to the
patient and suffering soldiers, for whom the
paper il printed. We bear no i'll will
against the guard here, as body. From
personal intercourse with many, we had
great esteem for them, and were panied at
the conduct Of few.
We were first called upon to publish ON
account Of the illegal arrest Of The Surgeon
in charge Of the hospital, and his forcible
ejectment from quarters, by Major Brown.
This clearly tinjustifable act, accompanied
by personal ihdignit5 70 Or. Wagner, has

solemnly warn them, that, if not protected
