LEGISLATURE.

The State Legislature met at Harrisburg
on Tuesday last, and organised by the Sc
lection of "loyar' officials; in both Houses.
After the usual preliminaries the following
message was read
GENTLEMEN the tolls and anxiety Of the
last four years have, from time to time
brought on the severe attcks OF disease
From the most severe of these am slowly
struggling. towards recovery. / find that
to give my constitution al opportunity to
continue this struggle it is absolutely nee
cessary that | should, without delay, make
aFhort sea voyage, and sojourn in milder
climate.
Under the pressure Of this necessity GO
to the Island OF Cuba. 1t is my hope and
intention to return in good season to well
come you on vour arrival at the seat of 90
vernment, but ifit should Le found indis-
pensiblethst my visit to Cuba should be
prolonged to the latter part Of February
this message will serve 10 lay before YOU
the cause of nv absence at the commence
ment of your session. In this case feel
sure that you will adopt such course as shall
consist with your wisdom, and with the af-
fectionate consideration which I have al
ways received at your haads. It would
however, not become me to forget that the
issues Of life are in the hands of the One =
hove all, and that many have found death
waiting for them On lie foreign shore TO
which they have been sent in search oi
health
sr Should such be my fate, shall draw my
last breath with sense of the deepest graf.
ituds TO the people Of the Commonwealth
and their Representatives, for the cheerful
manly, and unfailing support which they
lave given during the last four years to the
general cause of the right, and to me in my
efforts to MAINTAIN it !: and with prayer Of
thankfnlness to Almighty God, that lie
strengthened till the end of the cruel rebel
lion, and thought me worthy to be permit
ed to continue that time as Chief Magistrate
of the people of Pennsylvania, and, to have
my Slathe connected in that relation with

Wild DOIngs.

A correspondent of the New York
Times gives an accosut af the reasons for
the removal of Brevet BrigAdcr General
Wild, Massachusetts, from the superinten-
dence of the Frcedmen's Burcan in Geor-
gia, as given by General Stedman, military
commander ofthat department He says:
"He (Wild) was, no doubt, an honest
and conscientious man. But there was no
practicabilty in him. He proposed to re-
dress tho multiplicity of slumbering wrongs
which had been spent for century on
the unfortunate blacks, he was inclined to
instantaneously square for the innumerable
cruelties inflicted upon this oppressed peo.
pie for an age in fact, he falliacously and
mischieveously went to work to educate
and elevate the black man with an utter
disregard Of the feelings and rights of the
white race, who, at least, had claims, if
not as equals
"He mounted body of black men, who
rode at large over the country and COM
mited excesses of the most Infamous cahr-
acter. The people generally suffered at
the expense of every man who had black
face. A perfect reign of terror was rife;
everything became unsettled and an i'm
placable hatred between the two races was
the natural offspring. He not only did not
CO operate with the commanding general,
but he zeaIously worked to clog his efforts
in all particulars.
1.-TWO outrageous acts of Gen. Wild wer
brought to notice. For some alleged reason
or otaer, he caused an old gentleman
weighing over two hundred pounds to be
tied up by the thumbs until the entire flesh
was torn from the bones Only few
days b feore Gen. Wild was relieved he ar
rested t wo of the first ladies of the coun-
try, and had them stripped naked and ex-
amined by two colorcd women, an indigni-
ty never heard of before during the war.
when General Tllson took charge the
direst disorder prevailed, and nearly sixty
thousand indo!eht blacks were being kept
and supported by the Federal commission
He issued an order, the enforcement Of
whcE set matters right at once. Through
out the whole State General Tilson has but
title over thousand paupers, and most
of these are sick in hospitals. He says
that hei bound that all able bodied negroes
shall lie made to work."

Commonwealth w. Eek

This case which has just been tried tn
the Court IF Quarter Sessions in this Coun,
ty, is a very important case, and one which
the voters of Columbia County should re-
member. The facts a porven are as follows
Henry Fry, citizen of Roaringcreek
township at thelast election offered his bal
lot, but Charles c. Eek, caused its rejection
on the ground of his being a non reporting
drafted man, whereupon this prosecution
was commenced.
The Judge declared very distinctly that
il was rot the province of an election
board TO try cases of desertion, and that
the act Of Congress conferred on them nc
such right. In other words, the failing to
report of a drafte d man was no ground for
the rejection of his vote.
The counsel for the defendant, Mr.
| Clark, also admitted that deserted from the
military service of the United States was
no ground for the rejection of ballot
and said he always maintained that opin
ion. The sole ground on which he rested
his Lefence was the defendants ignorance
of the law Colu,abia Democrat.

Arrayed in oil her Ioveliness,
saw her scarce week ago;
The bloom of conscious health's career
Was gliding with its rosy glow
Her fair young brow-uumarked by care;
Bright hopes shone iu her soul-lit eye,
And pie asure smiled SO sweely there,
thought it could not die.
But now, how changed the lovely sight ,
The roseate flush Of life has flown
Long cherished hopes have proved blight
The real of a dream unknown;
For 10 in youths first blossoning,
How quietly sh slumbereth-
faded flower in early spring.
But yet, how beautiful in death. .
And ever as angel dreams,
Of blissful ps core soothing hours,
Death breaths upon the pleasant streams,
Tha; nourish life's ungathered flowers,
And in an hour they pass away,
Lelving u desert waste behind,
While ruin gloats on their decay,
Unceasing pleasures thus to find.

Blue Democrats.

A good many Democrats now a-days
seem to have the blues, and they 60 around
declaring that "all is lost''-that republi-
can institutions are buried forever &c, &c.
and of course, that there is no further use
of trying to combat the enemies of Demo
cratic principles. Now, we have had red
Republicans and black Republicans, but
these men are what might be properly
termed blue Democrats, They arc. going
to give up and let the Abolitionists run
over them forever Here is virgin coun =
try, not yet half.peopled aud simply because
the old Tory party, under the alias Of free
dom shriekers'' have got INTO power, they
nav imagine, forsooth, that mankind Is go
ing to give up the vital principles of De
mocracv. Nonsense men and brethren
Principles are mate, inherent, aud no mat
ter how crushed down for the time being.
they must come to the surface.-Reader,
it depends upon You, yes,you. individually,
how soon they may arise from their ashes,
Every man hA his influence, and if every
person who goes croaking about that de
mocracy is played out"-''that there is no
use to try" &c would take hold like man,
talk to his neighbor, who may be deluded,
ignorant, but well-meaning "Rcpublican,"
get him to read a Democratic paper or
document, or arouse and stimulate Demo
Gratis, instead of discouraging them, We
should very soon See great change in the
face of affairs, and have a real Democratic
revival. So far as their influence goes,
there is but little difference between'a blue
Democrat and a black Republican. Let
Democrats throw off this croaking. In
stead of meeting your Republican neighbor
with long face, as much as to say "all is
lost" tell him to look out for the biggest
fight ahead he ever dreamed of and that
if he thinks you and your party arc going
to surrender this government to the negro
equalizers, that he is the most mistaken
man alive. This will set th,m thinking.
1t will do no more-arou>e and inspirit the
Democracy, and that is half of the battle.
Two-:hirds Of the people are against the
Abolitionists. aAd yet Democrats get the
blues! Away with the thought! Let us
give them little more grape DAY Book.
