who made this United States made system
Tor white men The Republican party, BEING
wiser than the founders of the Republic. more
hieh-toned in morality than WAsHINGrox or
ADAMS, and more Christian than the founders
OF the church, determined that an injustice 10
the black race must be repaired by an injustice
TO the slave states 1t swelied and strntte
and claimed piety and philanthropy, because it
sought TO DO charity with the money of Others.
1t undertook TO curse conviction into slavehold-
ers, TO cheat them into glory, and to glory in
cheating them, and, having thus excited opn O.
sltion and iniamed obstinacy, gave the slave
states the option Of submitting to Injustice or
quitting the Union. The result il, that before
this war is ended, unless the Republican party
IS driven from power, the condition of the poor
free white will be not better, SO far as the phy-
sical comforts of life are concerned, than 1Yas
that of the slave black at its comnenceme NJ !.
and for the condition Of the slave black we re-
fer those who still believe in the philanthrop;c
mission of the Republican party to the freed

dria. The blanket is not only no longer, but a
little is lost by the operation of tearing and sew

The "blood-letting' which Senator CHANDLER
was SO anxious for, having begun, money was
necessary. There were three ways of getting

curltles at prices TO tempt capitalists, or the
issue of paper money, both unconstitutional and
dishonest. The last, of course, was chosen.
and 1t became not only forced loan, to use
the expression of Mr., SrAuLDING, the author
OF the bill, bat was made, in addition "A forced
liquidation, by which creditors were cheated
from one to thirty-fve per cent.
The consequence is, that the government,
out Of the eight hundred millions it must spend
this year will pay, of that sum, because Of the
legal tender, two hundred millions Of dollars.

House. OF REPRESENTATIVES,
HARRISBURG, April 4th, 1861.


DK>z GAZETTE:
There is as yet no disposition on the part of
the majority 10 either branch of the Legislature.
to fix the day of final adjournment. 1 Several
propositions looking TO this end, have come from
the Democrats Of the House, but the majority
refused to entertain them. The reason for the
refusal Of the ''Republican'' members to fix the
day Of adjournment, can be found in the fact
that the Committee of Ways and Means have
not yet reported the General Appropriation Bill,
nor have the committee on the apportionment
of the State, as yet reported their bill. These
two measures are very important and concern
the Republican" members particularly, mas
much rs Gov. Curtin looks to the Appropria-
ton Bill for the ''snews Of war;" and their par
ty politicians look the Apportionment Bill for
'gerrymander" which shall legislate Democrats
out Of, and themselves into, office. There is
also another very important matter to be consid-
cred by the Legislature, viz: the question of a
| law regulating the manner Of voting in the army.
Ii Is QQeSLlOlapIS WIlcIloI nave
the constitutional power to pass such law,
prior to the ratification Of the proposed amend
ments to the constitution, by the peopls. Un-
Ill the amendments to the Constitution which
propose to give soldiers the right to vote, become
a part of the Constitution, it mill be- in my O.
pinion, entirely useless to pass laws regulating
election in the army. MIR. Lee, Of Phiadei-
phia, man prudence and good common sense,
"a day introduced resolution requesting the O.
pinion of the Attorney General upon this sub
ject. The resolution was unanimously adopted.
+! a bill has passed the House, TO enable the
Bedford Railroad Company to issue preferred
stock 10 an amount not exceeding two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, such stock to be en-
titled to dividend of seven per centum out Of
the earnings of the road before any dividend is
paid out of the other stock issued by the COM
panY. 1t is to be hoped that the passage of this
bill, will enable the company 70 finish their
road to Bedford. send you a copy of the bill
which please lay before the readers OF the Ga
sste, at an early day. More anon.

ca The late massacre Of negro soldiers near
Ficksburg Is now said not to have been a rebel
outrage, bat quite otherwise. The negroes went
TO hotel where there were only white women
and children with their servants, committed the
grossest possible outrages on the women, and
then bnrntthe house. An Indiana regiment heard
OF the affair and attacked and killed the negroes
NO rebels were concerned in the shocking affair

Cosr or ARoLIrIoN.--We have frequently
seen statement of the great weight of lead re-
quired to be fred in battle for the killing or
wounding of single man. But does anybody
ever reflect tha: to free the negroes emancipated
by this war we have expended more than dou-
bic the weight of every individual estimated in
hard silver money? Such is the actual fact
The cost of the war up to the present time
would amount to over sixty thousand tons of
sterling silver. Average the weight of negroes,
big and little, at 70 pounds, and double it in
silver as the cost Of each darkey's freedom, -
and we find that our war expenses would pay
at that rate for 5000 ''ciiizens of African
descent."-That's the way the money goes
