WAR.
But two caamities greater than war,
can befalI a nation. BY the present war,
we hope to be preserved from both, first
from secession which is death, aud sec
ond from slavery which leads to barbar-
ism. and is worse than death. We are
told this is a cruel war how could it be
otherwise? Could you expect a war wa
eed for the extension of barbaroHs in
stitution, to be other than a barbarous
war? Yet in justice we see the burden
of the calamity fall where it belongs.
The crack of the slave drivers whip, and
the voice Of the auctioneer have died
away in the sound of freedoms cannon.
The chattle has received musket for his
chains, and for the cries of the whipping
post. we have the cries of victory. The
barbarism of the Cavalier has cost him
his life. The rayageg Of war have made
the plantation a desolate plain, family
reared IN luxury and Incidence and left
in want, beg few hard tack from cotor-
ed sollicr to sustain life. How hard and
vet how iust-Now listen to what Abra-
ham Lincoln said in his inaugural address.
In speaking to these people, he said, '' 10"

less you are yoarsclcsj he aggressors.'
They became the aggressors and the re
sponsibility is with them.
But there are some who say this is an
% Aboiljoa war" Well this is so just
as the Ram Tennessee is now Union YES
sci. The rebels built her at great eS-
pcnso. armed her, and plated her for the
purpose Of destroying our feet, but now
she is captured and formidable Union

have re-fittcd her, put in engines OF ilee-
dom and now she is one Of the best gun
boats we have got Al | have to say is,
if any man is not in favor Of sucAfboli
tion he is no Union man, and consequent
" must be a traitor
1t has already become a historical fact
that a war waged for the extension of
slavery in this country has resulted in its
abolition, some are not pleased with this
part of our national history and they
blame the Abolitionists. They never
could have done it--somc blame the Re
publicans. but they dous tao much ho"or,
Some blame Abraham Lincoln, but the
true author of SO great a caiamity is to
be found in him who died that all might
be free.

UNION


When | was boy heard the Union
was in danger, but believe it is stron-
ger to-day than it was then, because the
ties that bind us together remain the same,
and the institution that sought to divide
us is practically doad, but the fact is, this
Union is how being Jo0gH Jor, your sons,
your brothers, your fathers, are fighting
nobly and these same men who then cried
the Union is in danger, now cry cease
firing" therefore | have become suspic-
ious of these Union savers. You know
your merchants here to be solvent, but
if YOU would see advertisements upon the
streets, that they 1serc So{rcat, that mo-
mcnt YOU would become suspicious. In
reading Lincoln's letter of acceptance, |
do not find the word Union once, but Nc
Clellan used it fifteen times and | became
suspicious, but had he used it fifteen hun
drcd times you could not have made any
sensible man believe but the Chicago
Platform meant, if the South would con-
descend to live with us, we would be their
slaves, but if not, We would build them
as good a house as we could on one half
of Uncle Sans farm, for they had always
been very good brethren, andwe didvery
wrong to FIRE on them first at Fort Sum
ter
When man tells me he is il favor OF
this Union, and in the next breath tells
me he is opposed to .ji9htiag for Il, l tell
him he is a liar and the truth is not in
him. Did you ever know man own q
farm as large as Virginia or Georgia and
you 90 to take it from him, and he would
ent fight for it. But have not the lead
ers of the Democracy told us thousand
times, that these States did not belong to
us that they had right to secede and
we had no right to coerce them? These
are the men who would have you believe
that cowardice will bring victory, and that
dishonor, disunion, anarchy, and eternaI
ruin are preferable to noble war for the
Government Of your sires. Voters ot
Pennsylvania remember, our brethren
slain upon every battle field, and let nc
cowardly act of yours dishonor the cause
for which they died The responsibility
is with us Let us show to traitors in this
the hour of our nations peril that We are
really the Keystone State. We have the
coal, the oil, the iron-thc power, the
light, and the sinew; we will give the
power to free labor, the light to free
! thought, and the sinew to the Onion Q

wThO Maryland Free Constitution

EWThO Maryland Free Constitution
makes some very important changes in
the law of the State. II declares that
oil men are created equally free, and are
entitled to the enjoyment of the proceeds
of their own labor; that hereafter there
shall be neither slavery or involuntary
ssrVitude, except in punishment of
crime. whereof the party shall have been
duly convicted; and all persons held to
service or labor as slaves arc declared
free.
Ii prohibits the General Assembly
passing any law to compensate maste rs
or claimants Of slaves emancipated by
the Constitution. Lotteries are forever
abolished by tho Constitution Il af
firms that the Constitution and Laws Of
the United States are the supreme law Of
the land. to which every citzon OF the
State owes paramount allegiance, The
Legislature is to make provision for ia
king the vote of soldiers in The field
An important feature Of the Constitution
is that which renders ineligible to Office
an incompetent to vote at any election,
unless restored to citizenship bya two
thirds vote ofthe Legislature, all persons
who have aided the rebellion in any
way, either by service, money, goods
letters or by information, This will dis
franchise great many of the former
citizens of Maryland, and is the FIRST
attempt made BY any State to punish its
citizens for lending aid to the rebellion.

Whnt Hogs 10 Wlnior.

A. Hinsdalo, Of Ohio, in an article in
the Ohio Farmer, gives the following
very sensible advice: Get good breed
of medium sized hogs that will fat at
any age; such as will weigh from 300 to
400 pounds when matured-if you have
no cheaper feed than corn. Keep over
winter mono but breeding stock. Be
sure and keep enough of that. for il you
have too many pigs you can always do
something with them in the SPRING
Have your pigs como about the first of
april. Keep no more than you can
keep we'll growing. Be sure and have
good pasture for them Make all the
pork you can from cheaper feed than
corn-which must be the base OF fatlen-
ing.
Il presume that when corn is over
fifty cents per bushel, it will pay well to
grind and cook it; but l have not tried
it fairly. Fat well, and kill your pigs
about Christmas, and they will ordiuari-
ly weigh about 800 pounds of as nice
pork as was ever put into barrel. 1t
will frequently Outset eavy Logs in
market. I think that when corn is fifty
cents bushel, to make pork,raising a
good business it should bring 81 pei
hundred, and for every ten cents advance
on corn, pork should advance 81.
