Hon. Henry w. Tracy.

Mr.. TRACY, the conservative Congress.
man elect from this District, has gone to
Washington, TO assume his duties in the
coming eventful Congress.
. We have had no conversation either with
Mr.. TRACY or with his more immediate
friends and are not advised Of his present
position on the questions which are to be
passed upon; but we greatly mistake the
man if he shall not be found on the side
of civil liberty and law and against the
ScHENoKs, and BURNsIDEs, and BUTLERs
who disgrace our country, our cause, and
our arms. They are in nowise the repre-
sentatives of any of the three, have no
personal merit, and have justly earned the
condemnation of every honest man by their
arrogance, their folly and their vices.
Elected as Mr.. Tracy was, over the
candidate OF the radicals, by nearly two
thousand majority, we believe he will rep.
resent fairly their wishes and views; that
his votes will be for the Union, the Consti-
tuition, civil liberty aud municipal law
and that the radical abolitionists who are
for the destruction of each and all of then,
will meet no favor at his hands. They
deserve none on any account.

The Notorious "Geo. Thomson y

The following telegraph dispatch from
Boston has been published by the associa-
ted press all over the country;
"The Liberator, Of this city, announces
that the Hon. George Thomson, the Eng.
lish Abolitionist, will soon visit this coun.
try, TO congratulate his friends upon the
improved aspect Of AFFAIRS"
This notorious seditionary has twice
visited America to incite discord and re.
bellion and twice has been driven from
our soil, narrowly escaping the vengeance
of an outraged populace.
His last advent here was some twelve
years ago, at Fanuel Hall, Boston, when
his bold sedition and treason was too out
rageous for even the people of that sanity
hot.bed Of Abolitionism and he escaped
violence only by Disgusting himself in the
petticoats of Abby Foster, and under es-
cort of Garrison and Phillips was Snug
gled into Canada.
Now it is gravely announced that this
notaiious inciter of National discord will
again pollute our soil with his presence,
"io congratulate his friends upon THE
IMPROVED ASPECT OF AFFAIRS! If he
is permitted to raise his voice in public,
bringing with him, as he will, his black
record, it will be sad commotary on our
National self-respect."
The "aspect of affairs" have indeed
changed since the emissary of Europe last
visited us. He then found US united, peace
ful, prosperous, and happy throughout the
whole extent of our broad domain. Now
an awful rebellion is raging in our midst,
the friends of the Union are strainipg ev-
cry nerve to save the Nations vitality,
and tho terrible effects of the carnage Of
war has been felt in almost every house.
hold. This "aspect Of affairs" Great
Britain has long prayed for, and THOMSON
and his Abolition admirers have long
labored to effect. But the great mass OF
the people on this side of the Atlantic fail
to discover in it an "i'nprouement," and
THOMSON will be likely to discover this
fact if he pays US another visit.
But we have no expectation that the ex-
member of Parliament has the brazen
hardihood to again dishonor the British
crown by his presence on our soil. The
Liberator has probably thrown this out as
"feeler" to draw public sentiment, and
we hope it will be given without stint or
measure.

Co.. Tate Having recalled to mind
past occurrences and duly deliberated up
on them, l am impelled to write few lines
for publication for which please permit
space III your valuable paper th at the read
ers of the same may know the opinion Of
him who penned them. The Democrats of
Pennsylvania failed to elect George w.
Woodward Governor, not because they
were less united in sustaining the princi
pals upon which over government was foun-
ded than they formerly were nor because
they doubted their Nominees fidelity to
the Constitution or his competency in any
respect, to perform the duties belonging to
the Office but because none of the army
could have furloughs, but those who would

for Curtin. This unfair means, with the
millions of greenbacks at their command,
tho Aboltionsts effected their suce S.
That they succeeded in electing Curtin in
this unconstitutional manner, is unques-
tionable. Is such work to 60 uncorrected!
If so, what hope can we have of success in
future elections We can judge the fu-
ture by the past, and judging by the past
knowing the unlawful manner in which
the recently held elections were conducted
by the Republicans, and the acquiesence on
the part of the Democrats to it. I believe
that future elections will be of 40 account
unless the Democrats prove more firm, al.

elections.
