From the Laneaster Intelliqeneera
The Negro Soldiers Bill.

Thaddeus Stevens Negro Soldiers Bill,
authorizing the President to- arm any
number of negroes he may >hiuk proper,
has passed the House of Representatives.
This b'll was bitterly opposed by the bor-
der State members, until it was so amen
ded as to prohibit recruiting in those
States. The Members from those States
declared that negro soldiers would be shot
there on sight, and Mr.. Maynard, Of Ten
nessee, plead earnestly to have "the pill
gilded." The exception was therefore
made. But what position does not this
place members of Congress in They
declare that if a certain law is applied to
their own States, their people will resist
the Federal Guvernment-in word,
turn ''rebels," TRAITORS" &c, but if Con-
gress will consent to except them, then
they will remain "loyal," and even aid
and assist the Abolitionists in forcing the
hated law upon other States and conmu-
mites +! Do these men mean to stand be-
fore, the world on such record as this p
If there is any right or any justice in this
bill, there is no reason why it should not
be applied to all the States alike, and we
think the Democrats in Congress made a
great mistake in fighting long parlia-
nentary battle in behalf of such partial
legislation. The arlning of the negroes,
as the allies of the Abolitionists, is no
more than we always anticipated, and
upon the theory of Stevens, Lovejoy, and
Hickman, that the negro is entitled to the
liberty of the white man, we see no good
reason why they should not be allowed to
fight for it, The act is but the atrocious
sequence of still more a-rocious premise.

dishonest practices ofoficials II Il then time for
the people TO look about forother and more hon.
est public servants, and to that end they must
look q some other Organization than The Repub-
lican party aDd its adherents That party was
founded in fraud and dishonesty I; II has at times
professed great horror at tue nisdeeds Of Others,
and thus imposed itself on the public; but once
in power and the whole history of this country
furnishes no parallel to the frauds and violations
of laws and individual and State rights, 10
those which have been committed by this party
in the past twenty months; indeed it would be
difficult TO find under any government a set Of
rulers who have less respectfor the peoples will,
or care tor their welfare. And this very thing is
openly avowed in Congress by their leading
statesmen, ifs.atesmen they have. Mr.. Stevens,
who we suppose stands at least head and sAoul-
ders above any other OF their members II the
House Of Representatives, in the debate os the
admission Of Western Virginia as new State.
said 81 will not stul,ify myself by supposing
that we have any warrant in the Constituiio'sfor
this proceeding. This .alk Of restoring she
Union rs it was, under the Constitution as il is,
is one Of the ahsurdities which have heard ne
peated until have become sick of it. This
Union can never be restored us it was there are
many things which render such an event impoS-
sible. This Unionshall never, with my consent,
be restored under the Constitution as it is with,
slavery to be protected BY it," Thus, it will be,
seen that Mr. Stevens Acknowledges that the
right of property in slaves is recognized by the.
Constitution yet notwithstanding these ac-,
knowledged provisions Of the Constitution, and
the declarations ofthis party previous TO its ad-
vent to power, it has, as Mr.. Stevens tells US, de-
liberately violated these plain provisions of the
organic law of the land. What confidence,
then, we ask, can the people have in the promises
and professions of this party, or those who act
with ana sustain it?
While some of the lesser lights of the party
tell us they are for restoring the Union, MIR. Ste
vens their great leader in Congress, tells us that
the Union ''can never he restored us it was;" and
that it shall never be; with his consent, under
the present Constitution. Now had these peo-
pie declared, previous to the election two
years ago, that they intended to violate the
Constitution--exactly what Mr.. Steveps has de-
clared, they intend to do--who believes they
ever would have got into power? Certainly no
one; and the only alternative left the people, is
to cast them aside as unworthy public servants.

Why Is IT?-Why is it that no draft

Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, the loyal,
law abiding farmers, mechanics and labor
ers, are hurried off on ten days notice,
from their homes, their. wives and little
ones, by the stern mandate of Abraham
Lincoln, while the thriving Abolitionists
of Massachusetts are permitted to remain
comfortably at home, and gorge their in
satiate desire for the almighty dollar, by
selling rotten ships to our Abolition
governments, in which they must have an

On Friday, February 9th, 1868, LLOYD
in the 3lst year Of his age.
When he found he had this world to leave,
The lies TO it, at first seemed stronger;
But he in safety did them renounce,
And his vain hopes were vain no longer.
Heaven was the port he wished TO reach,
A clear sky, and Jesus the polar star
He rowed DER The billowy deep,
And anchored safely there.
And left, of all the comforts the dearest,
His last words-that 'a was right"
Death, to him, had lost oil terrors,
He longed to take the happy fight.

An Important Letter.

The following is portion of letter
from Senator Douglas to S. s. Hayes.
ESQ, of Chicago. 1t shows how solici-
tous Senator Douglas was for the pres.
ervation of the Union, and it bears testi-
mouy to the fact that many Republican
leaders desired dissolution of the Union
and that they refused to do anything to
prevent its dismemberment Such facts
as this coming to light show the character
and objects Of Republicanism. -
WASHINGTON, December 20, 1860
My DEAR SIR-* = #You will have
received my proposed amendments to the
Constitution before you receive this
The South WOULD TAKE MY PROPOSE
TIoN If THE REPUBLICANS WOULD
AGREE TO IT. But the extremes, North
and South, hold off, and are precipitating
the country into revolution and civil war:
While | can do 20 act which recogniz-
es or cuuntenances the doctrine of seces-
sion, my policy is peace, and | will not
consider the question of war until every
effort has been made for peace, and all
hope shall have vanished. When that
time comes, if unfortunately it shall come,
I will then do what it becomes an Ameri-
can Senator to do on the then state of facts.
Many of the Republican leaders desire a
dissolution of the Union, AND URGE WAR
AS A MEANS OF ACCOMPLISHING DIS.
UNION while others are Union men in
good faith. We have now reached the
point where compromise on the basis
of mutual concession, or dishuion and
war, are inevitable. I prefer fair and
just compromise. I shall make speech
in a few days. Yours, truly,
S. A. DOUGLAS.
