MEXICO.

While we are engrossed with our domes-
tic civil war and are agitatcd about the is
sue, our attention is attracted othe threat
cning aspect of external affairs. A nation
can be destroyed by external as well as
internal circumstances. Mexico is now
invaded by foreign army her ports arc
filled with innumerablc vessels OF the al
lied powers Of Europe; her people have
solemnly declare her an Empire; her
power udder the Juarez or constituted
Government has been suspended by the
protectorato rule of the French. She is
divided by factions and threatened by in
imical armies. The expedition that has
caused this was one of the French, Eng
lish and Spanish Governments, to enforce
the payment of certain claims alleged to be
due their Governments. But Napoleon
with that cool, cunning strategy, has crea-
ted a difference between the government
and the church and thus effected his great
purpose. Maximalian Of Austria is spo-
ken of for Emperor.
These things intimately interest our
Government. The Monroe doctrine, sup
ported for nearly half century, is assailed
and it remains to be seen whether our
Government will rosolutcly claim an eman-
cipation Of the continent from foreign in
servention. We have claimed that foreign
Itrans-a atlantic powers shall not interfere
with the several Governments of this con.
tinont. Will Mr.. Lincoln turn his eyes
from tyranny and corruption and watch
our foreign relations? Will he realize
the magnitude of the difficulty and prompt
! ly avert it! With England's power in
Canada and Frances in Mexico, we might
be overwhelmed with hostile armies and
suffer such disaster, that DIT Of diplomacy
will now save. Our nations honor is at
stake; her precedents to be vindicated ;
her interests to be secured and, probably
her nation ality to be settled, Although
we are cneryated by consuming war, ant
the flower of our country is fading on bat
tie fields, yet we have might sufficient tc
defend our rights and preserve our cunti
nent from foreign invaders. No Empire
for Mexico; no Maximiiian for Emperor
no interference by foreign allies with tn
affairs of this continent. This should be
our policy. We have hope. These for
cign secret enimies Of our Government ono
day shall sadly know its power.

The Draft.

In New Jersey no draft has been made
and il is delayed until il can be altogether
avoided by volunteering or by payment by
the State of the $500 penalty for every
man who is liable. In New Hampshire
the draft has been postponed until the
many pending legal questions are deter
mined. In New York it has been sus-
pended, and if the Courts shall not declare
the con onsciiption act unconstitution and
void it is proposed to pay the community
for all poor men.
In Pennsylvania the act is enforced
promptly and rigidly. Every man, not
otherwise disqualified, who has not $500
to purchase exemption, has to toe the
mark, nolens voens. The Old Keystone
is always foremost in the discharge Of hcr
duty to the whole country; but we thinl,
no invidious distinctions should be made
| by the Government. If the draft were
suspended here, and liberal bounty off
cred, Pennsylvania would very soon 6ll
up her quota with brave volunteers.

For the Columbia Democrat.
yMRbbing an Abolition Preacher.
NIn.Np1ron,

MR'NDIToR:
Please advise your readers Of an Incl
dent which recently oecued in Franklin
township, Lycoming county, ard by which
an Abolition Screcchipg Preacher was most
eirectually snubbcd.
A certain wise-Acre Preacher, few
weeks ago, gave notice on Sunday to his
congregation, that he was about 10 deliver
political discourse, and remarked, that
those who did not wish TO hear it, could
leave the house. A "loyal Lady" a mem
Der of his church, arose and informed his
reverence, that they paid Aim II preach
the Gospel, and they wan near moth
ing from him in relation 20 politics. So
saying, the entire congregation, exccp.
ting nineteen persons, left the ht,sc, and
he went on to exhibit to a select few, Sam
bo and Dinah!
Mr. wise Arce came back last Sabbath
lie found very large assembly of people
and he soon "smelt, not niger, but &
big mice Deeming discretion the better
part of valor, he trcmulously hurried
through his discourse, leaving the Niger
out in the cold, and made the best of hi.
way out.
On entering the gate of the yard, Mr.
wise Acre was met by delegation of citi-
zens-more loyal to God than to the mig
gor-who promptly informed him, that he
must never again pollute the house or des.
ecrate the Sabbath there by attempting tc
glorily his negro friends. Instead of b.
{ ING admonshed in meakness, he evinccd
more of the spirit of the ID, than an
humble christian. They however duly
notified the "apostle Of denominations,
that if he ever attempted to repeat the in
suit, he would be sure to get in this world
what awaited all such fellows with "ntg
gcr-omthe-Jrain," in the world to come.

The Slaves CT Prejudice.
DEATH ROBBED OF HIS PREY.

There are queer people in the world
people with tho most absurd, unreasona.
and indefensiblc prejudiccs. For exampl
We have met with individuals who had q
morbid antipathy to anything that was
extensively advertised, no matter wha,
might be its actual claims to the confidence
of the public. These cccentrics looked
with especial dislavor on advertised medi
cines. They could not see, for example.
in DR.. HoLhowAY's lnaghi fccnt systemic
advertising, covering, as it does, all thet
mediums of publicity which the world af
fords, anything but a gigantic scheme of
mere speculation. True, they could nos
gainsay the testimony pouring in sponta,
ncously from the highest sources, in flyoi
Of his incompatible Pills and Ointment.
but still they shook their heads and nut.
tered "humbug." OF course, there is 40
possibility of arguing with men who wen
reason. The best way is to let them alone.
OltuhaVc'J, sucu experiments Oh stuplClty
are ''lew and far between" in this enlghl
oned era. Tie general feeling is that if
thing is in itself excellent, its virtues
should be proclaimed to the four winds
of heaven, for the general benefit of man
kind. Hence, the proclamations made by
DR. HOLLOWAY, through the entrie news
paper press Of the world, of the properties
and operation of his remedies, meets with
the cordial approval OF thinking men. The
value Of the preparations as specifies for
the various internal and external com.
plants peculiar 10 different climates, or
common TO the world at large, is conceded
not only by the masses, but by govern
ments, men ofscicncc, and candid obser-
ycrs in every walk of life. Can such rcm-
edies be too widely known? Impossible

lfa man hurrahs for Valandigham, he
is called a traitor by "uncoustitution Un-
ion men" but an Abolitionist can say that
he is glad John Morgan made his raid
into Indiana, and is called patriot -
That's the difference.
Mobs, when composed of Aboltionists,
and devoted to outragcs upon Democrats,
are lawful assemblages, and ought be en-
couraged. But under any other circum-
stances, and especially if any Democrats
happen to be engaged in them, Oh hor-
riblc. They ought to be burned at the
stake. That's the difference.
To be in favor of prosecuting tho war
for The Abolition of slavery, and TO pre-.
vent the restoration Of the Union as it was
is to be "Union man of the FIRST water
To be opposed to the war and in favor of
adopting measures that will reunic the
country under our old Constitution, is to
be "vile sympathiacr with treason. -
That's the difference.

] The Goddess of Liberty, who left this
country some two years ago, will return
about the fourth of March, 1864. 1t is
proper to remark that the chains that were
forged Tor her by the Abolilionists, will
it is thought be used TO grace the forms Of
those who got them up.
1t is said that the Germans and others
who got their 100 acres of land in the
west, by clcctiug an Abolition President,
are getting rich upon the products.

Then when the Aboltionists in Lancas-
ter county few years ago, resisted the
execution of the Fugitive Slave Law, and
in that resistance committed murder on
Dir. Gorsuch, they were guilty of Gre
belliou.'
And when the abolitonists of Massa-
chusctts resisted, with an armed mob, the
return of a fugitive to his master, and
killed Batchclder, and forced the authori.
ties to call out the IT, S. forces to execute
the law, those abolitionists were guilty Of

a CoPPERHEAD REBUKED'- a gentle
man Informs us that he was present at an
interview between General Jenking and
some prominent Republicans at Chambers
burg, Pennsylvania, during the time the
rebels occupied that town. After disguis-
ing matters connected with the war for
some time, prominent oflice-holder in
Franklin county stepped up and INTRODUCED
himscl to the Rebel General. Jenkins said
that he ought to refuse shaking him by the
hand. The Office holder desired to know
the reason Of such treatment. General
jenkins asked the question. care you

try" "Yes," was the reply. "Thcn
you are a regular CoPperhead." "This
is what they cali me- replied the Office
holder. TO which the rebel General re-
piled "Lincoln ought to have hung you
and the rest ofthe Copporheads !ong age.
the Southern coulcdcracy. We respect
those who are against u. in the North much
more than the Coppcrheads."
Harrisburg Telcgrapb.
The above we find in the nanvhZc
Democrat, an Abolition tory organ under
a disguised name. This for once is an
honest confession, for of course a rebel
General would hob bob with Republicans
and snub Democrats in just that manner,
1t is The determination Of the Democratic
party that the Union shall be preserved
which so ombitters the rebels against every
one Of its members. They fear nothing
from the Republicans, because they know
well enough that that faction is contending
for the ascendency of fanatcal ideas which
must untimcly lead to dissolution. We
have better opinion of jenkins honesty
now than ever we had before. The Dem
ocrats have always been for the prescrva.
ton of the Con stitution and the restora-
tion Of the Union, consequently the rebels
do not like them while the abolitionsts,
on the other hand, with loud professions
of their fcalty, have just been the reverse,
and consequently arc hale fellows we'll met
with the rebels. We believe that if the
rebels were to take O!d Abe and Gen.
Mcclellan prisoners that the GaGmer would
receive the kindlier treatment, aud us
