MAJ. Con-. on Ben. Institution,

ABoLITIoNIsM.-The town of Potsdam,
st. Lawrence county, N. Y, at their recent
election, chose five republican Trustees, one
of whom is fullblooded negro.
The above item is going the rounds OF
democratic papers. The facts are, that on
one Of the trustees, the republicans were
divided and would not support him. The
democrats having no ticket, secretly
brought out, voted for and elected said ne
gro. Not republican voted for him, MOI
was anything publicly known about the
name Of said negro being used.
The circumstance shows thai democrats
may be led to vote for almost anything,
and that the boosted party prejudice against
negroes is all a pretense. 1t also shows
that the entire democratic party may be
transformed any time into an intense negro
loving party-by the mere order of few
leaders. Who then will deny that the DEM
ocratic partysmay be abolitionized again
as it was in Wisconsin in 40! Is there
any wonder at all that there exists in the
South such extreme contempt for North
ern democracy and for protested Northern
friendship for the rebels

WASHINGTON. April 7

Official information lately received at
the War Department, states that the
movement against Charleston had been in
itiated by landing a small Federal force at
the foot of James Island.
Private letters received to night FROM
Commodore John Rogers, second in com
mand under Admiral Dupont, and also
from Gen. Hunter to his relatives, dated
Friday last, fully corroborate the rebel ac-
counts Of the landing of our foIces on St.
Johns Island, and the withdrawal of the
enemy's pickets They speak in the most
sanguine manner of the contemplated
movement, resulting in great success, no
less than the fall of Charleston.

SAN FRANCISCO. April g. -Four Of the
prisoners captured in this harbor on the
privateer schooner Chapman, are to have
a trial by the military commission at TT.
Alcatrase, there beng proof Of their having
taken the oath Of allegiance to the Federal
Government since the commencement Of
the rebellion. The penalty for forfei:;ng
the oath, by serving the enemy in the ca
pacity Of privateers, is death.
The remainder Of the prisoners will prob
ably have trial in the Circuit Court.

1t is apparent, then, from these consid-
eratlons, that the most effectual means
that can be applied to prevent persons Of
"African descent" from seeking homes in
the North, is to sustain and promote the
emancipation policy of the government,
raising them from chettledom and making
them men and women where they are.
The petitioners can, in doing so, have the
proud enjoyment Of yielding to the noblest
dictates OF patriotism and philanthropy, as
well as the pleasing exercise of their own
peculiar taste, in relation to the social and
business intercourse with persons Of Afric-
an descent, and that they, as "white men,"
will render an ardent and faithful support
TO the necessary measures, for the self-pres-
eryation OF the government, from the high
er and better, rather than the special rea-
sons, above in allusion, your commftte feel
most confidently assured. 1t cannot sc, in
view of the emergencies Of the hour, that
any loyal and discerning heart, can fail to
see that his highest duty, as well as his
only hope, lies in the support and defense
Of legally constituted authority, and from
the immense importance which attaches to
such support, your committee desires to
have it strengthened, not only by the best
feelings, but even by the prejudices of all
white men," and their fellow citizens gen
orally.
All of which IS respectfully submitted.

Goals OF FIRE ON THE CoPPERHEADs.
We learn that Father Terry, the Catho-
lie Priest of this city, has taken occasion
on one or two Sundays past to lecture his
congregation a little, in support of the
right of negroes to peaceably walk the
streets without molestation from lrishmen.
He reminded them that tie human race
all have one origin THAT negroes have
souls and may go TO Heaven, and if an
Irishman should go there, he might find
some negro saint occupying higher seat
than himself. These remarks took well
with portion Of the congregation; but
some Of the negrophobists have been II
high dudgeon ever since, and report says
they swear terrible things against their
spiritual adviser, declaring that he shall not
stay 10 Ottawa. III this however they will
have to back down. for the high estimation
in which Father Terry is held by BE Sour
ETY., q Nell as the community generally,
places him out Of reach Of few malignant
Copperhead Knights of the Golden Ciicle.
We notice that his remarks TO the negro
itters has had salutary effect, as the ne
groes have not been molested since. Father
Terry is worth twice as much to the city
as all the police, in The way Of preventing
rows in the streets. We trust that he viii
continue his good work.
