MR. SEWARD ALL RIGHT.

A dispatch from Washington TO the Philadelphia.
Inquirer states that in conversation on Saturday
with a leading member OF the Pennsylv MIA dele
gaIiori Secretary Seward brought up the question
Of reconstruction, and was very severe upon Com
gress for their refusal TO admit the Southern del
egations. The member thought that alter four
years Of a rebellion that had taken millions o.
armed men TO suppress, and entail ed Epon
debt of three thousand millions OF .doIIRrs, it
the duty OF Congress patiently examine jato ths
question Of whether the same men were in IL cons
dtiou 10 be agin entrusted with the political over
Of this Government; that no Rebel should ever
have seat in Congress with bis cOnsen'; that thu
policy of the President was lRmentabIe as it would
prove positive injury TO the South. Mr.. Seward
replied, with great deal Of warmth that The policy
was that which Mr. Lincoln had adopted and was
carrying il out When be died and that Hr Johnson
was merely containing ii; that the people Of all
parties would sustain it, and there not a Rebel
to-day in the whole country, and he should not
Dse the word. Mr.. Seward is IL favor Of the adj
mission OF the entire body Of Southern meDbers'
just as they are, and Of the repeal Of the OATH

otR STATUS.

So Gfus tie action of Congress can do it,
the counties of Jefferson and Berkeley have
been transferred to the State of West Yir-
ginia.; aud we venture the assertion that there
are more sad hearts in jefferson this day than
ever before. Our people feel that they have
been cheated out of their birthright; that an
outrageous aud shameful wrong has been per-
petratsd upon them and that they are COM
PEELED to submit quietly to government that
EGas no legal and constitutional warrant for
It's exercise of jurisdiction over them. Our
people loved their old State with love as
tender and true as that of child for its
mother, and it is no wonder that this forcible
tearing them away from the State of their
love, has made their hearts fill with sorrow
too deep to find voice. But there is hope
IA the old land yet. The President has not
yet signed the bill os disruption. The SUI
preme Court is still to pass upon the Legality
of the transfer. And So while there is life
there is hope.

The Ne" Bedford (Nlass.) Mercury gives
prominent place to the following SANDER touch
ing the Veto message:
1T is believed by Congressman that the re-
cent Veto message of President johnson. was
written by Colonel W. II. Prescott, the Com
missioner sent here by the Governor Of South
Carolina to lobby in the interests of the rich
planters of the Sea Islands, whose lands were
set apart by order of General Sherman for the
freedmen, who followed him in his march to
the sea-"
The same writer says:
The Republican Congressional Committee,
of which Hon. a. Cakes Amss, of NJ assachu-
sets, is Financial Chairman, have secured
large fund to spread 'tho gospel according to
Thaddeus Stevens" A thousand dollars was
sent here from Massachusetts, the other day,
to he p circulate the documents"
This is perfectly consistent FIRST, to coin
the talsehoOd, and then raise money to circu-
late it.

couuties-Messrs Davis and Guthrie, of

Salisbury and Riddle, of Delaware, have

of three>fourths of the people of Jefferson; ;
and although their efforts to drive back the
invader were not successful, we shall never
forget them so long as we live. 1t will be

THE JOHNSON MEEr1wa,

Notwithstanding the deep gloom that the
action Of Congress hes cast over the people
Of Jefferson, the Mass Meeting of Saturday
was success. The people are convinced
that the only hope of the land is in President
johnson, and they prove their confidence in
him BY pledging themselves to be as true to
him as he shows himself to be true to them
and to the Constitution.
The speeches of Judge Kennedy, Mr..
Travers aud Major Yellott, breathed the true
spirit of patriotism-the love of constitution
nlity, and, therefore, were thoroughly en- the
side of the Executive and against the radi-
calism and disunionism of Congress. The
resolutions we're to the point, and could find
no dissenting voice among those present; but
it is noteworthy fact that the West Vir-
ginia Justice of the Peace, and the Supervi-
sor, in this township, refused to sign the call
for the meeting, or take any part in its pro-
eeedings.

"pAcoN AND GREENS

The citizens of this town were favored with
an intellectual treat on "Wednesday evening
ast-thc occasion being the delivery by
DR.. George ". Bagby, of Richmond, of his
celebrated lecture sBacon and Greens, or the
Native Yirginian." This lecture has been
delivered to crowded houses in Richmond.
Lynchburg, Petersburg Baltimore, and other
points, and the announcement that " Nlozis
Addums" would hold forth at the Carter
House was sufficient, upon a very short no.
tice, to fill the spacious dining hall with an
intelligent aud appreciative audience.
After handsome introduction by Mr. f..
NJ. Lackland, the distinguished lecturer pro-
eeeded in the delivery of the lecture which
has been SC fayorably received by the press
and the public in the cities named above
He argued ably, and with irresistible force
proved the great virtues of the "hog" above
all other animals, imam not excepted" show
ing that as an article of commerce it was val
liable beyond calculation, and that the down.
fall of the Southern Confederacy was clearly
traceable to the failure of the "hog ercp."-
lie also proved, plainly to the satisfaction of
his audience that E:nowhar" On Gods earth
was bacon cured to- that state of perfection
that it was in Virginia. The lecturer gave
the Virginia. character for egotis,n hard
thrust when he declared it to be their belief
that nothing ever attained perfection, unless
1t be the production of the soil of the Old
Domlnlon-that even our apple brandy and
30, L
dy distilled or chinquapins grown! But, if
the lecturer did thus make point against our
vanity, he atoned for Thy assuming his share
of it, and by proving that we have much to
be proud Of Turning from the "wild boar
of the forest and the fat little rooster. the
bully OF the crew, the pride of his mother
DEAR" DR.. Bagby discourscd eloquently upon
the valuable properties of the cabbage, citing
many examples of its invalunbleness as an
article of domestic consumption.
But the gem of the evening was the DIS
truthful and graphic portrayal of the charac-
ter of the ''Native Virginian." The various
stages, from infancy to the grave, of the Vir-
gilman We're wildly brought to the mind of
every gentleman present, whilst the Virginia
nlatron,-with FER cares, her tolls, and good
ness of soul,-was sketched with the touch
of master, bringing tears to the eyes of ma
ny UNUSED to the melting mood" Several
anecdotes of the war were feelingly related,
and the closing apostrophe to the noble
mother of States and OF statesmen, was hap
PLY conceived and eloquently expressed.
But we will not do DR.. Bagby the injustice
of an attempted sketch Of the lecture. As
humorist "MozIs Addums" is irresistible; in
his appeals to the finer senses, he is eloquent
and pathetic. Wherever he goes, we be-
speak for him crowded houses
