PENNSYLVANIA NOT A REPUBLIC. =
Mr.. Thad. Stevens, in speech in the
House, this week, made an appeal in
behalf OF the State of Pennsylvania,
whose Legislature did not elect him
Senator. Mr.. Stevens said: 81 deny
that the State OF Pennsylvania is
q republic. < Iwish
this Congress would take it in hand
and make it a republic" Heretofore
We would have been prepared to hear
that Mr.. Stevens considered Pennsyl-
vania the greatest republic on earth,
and he certainly declared, before the
late Senatorial election; that its Legis-
lature was composed of ''pure men. :"
Why, then, is an appeal to Congress
necessary to take the State in hand?
It looks rs if Mr.. Stevens was in the
same category of politicians of like
school with himself in this State,
who never discovered any absence OF
the republican element in the State
Government until they were out of
Office. There is as much sense in
calling on Congress in the one case
as the other, and eqnal probability of
that body attempting so high handed
and revolutionary measure with the
one State as the other

Those who were once rich are re-
duced to the last extremity of en-
durance. Large numbers are depend
eDt for the necessaries of life upon
the Young Mems Christian Associa-

ton giving out a few days ago, those
dependent upon it were without food

their furniture to keep warm, and.
night before last. a woman and her
infant were frozen to death. People
here have now no thought of any
thing but how to live. Nine. tenths
have no interest in what Congress
does. But if Congress knew our real
state, they would attend less to
schemes for settling our political Sta
tus, and try honestly to give us q
chance to keep ourselves alive and
get on onr feet again.

MlNf oN rocr. The Washington
letter of the Baltimore Gazette SAYS:
Charles O'Conor and J. G.. Shea,
Esqs., counsel for Jefferson Davis,
are in the city. Mr. Horace Greeley
is also here. It is further known that
Mr.. Greeley had an interview with
the President yesterday, and had in
terviews with Mr.. Davis counsel this
morning. From these facts, the guid
nuncS have conjcctured that the State
prisoner at Fortress Monroe is about
either to be released on parole or bail,
or that his case is on the eve Of being
disposed of in some way; and it must
be confessed that the facts warrant q
fair inference that this long delayed
act of sheer justice is at last about to
be performed.

The market for tobacco has been
very much depressed ever since the
suspension of sales just prior to
Christmas. There are many reasons
which have produced this result. In
the first place, the stoppage of the
factories has lessened the demand for
consumption in manufacturing and
then the extreme stringcncv in the
money market has checked specula-
ton. To these causes may be added
the uncertainty attending the action
of Congress in relation to the tax; all
parties seem to be standing still,
waiting for some indication as to the
course the market will take, and in
the meantime the farmer has to go
without the money which he hoped
to realize from the sale of his crop,
or sell at sacrifice.

proves Of holding a National Union

second says that the New Hampshire
Democrats adhere to their past prin-
ciples, and insist that the powers of
the Federal Government are limited
by the Constitution, and that all
other powers are reserved for the
States; the third holds that the right
of extending suffrage belongs to the
States alone; the fourth declares that
all the States have the right of repre-

that the United States Supreme

COLLATERAL BRANCH.-At last ;.d-
vices the negro convention, recently
assembled at Washington, had not
been dissolved into its original ele-
ments. 1t is now said that its ses-
sions will be prolonged, at the request
of the radical leaders, until after the
impeachment trial, rs the presence
Of such a body, while that interesting
drama is being gone through with,
will, it is thought, strengthen the
spinal column Of the party, and give
great moral weight to the movement.
Indeed, it has been whispered in con-
fidential circles that Mr.. Stevens,
who was recently a candidate for
United States Senator from the great
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, has
in serious contemplation the intro
duction into the House, at an early
day, of a measure recognizing the
colored convention as a collateral
branch of the legislative department
of the National Government, and pro-
viding that its existence shall be CO.
equal with that of the Fortieth Con-
gress, which will meet on the 4th Of
March ensuing, and sit, sans inter
mission, for the period OF two years.
This, however, may be a "bloody
copperhead lie,'' and we tell it simply
as twas told TO us.

The HERALD's Op1N1oN.-The New

LIE A1cHALD OPINiON. ne New
York Herald, of Thursday, says:
The European papers seem to be
altogether in the dark upon the dues
ton of President Johnson's impeach-
ment. The London Times, in parti-
cular, affects to be grievousIy dis
tressed lest the impeachment should
demolish the Constitution and Go
vernment Of the United States. Some
newspapers at home, who ought to
take a more intelligent view of the
subject, talk pretty much in the same
absurd way. Now, the fact of the
matter is, that there will be very little
trouble about it, and it will not turn
the country from the even tenor of
it's way. The President, we may
assume, will be impeached and re-
moved; General Grant and Admiral
Farragut will probably be elected,
after a short lapse of time, to the
Offices of President and -Presi-
dent; Mr.. johnson will soon be for
gotten, and the affairs Of the country
will go on in their accustomed chan
nels, prospering and to prosper.
The English press foresaw in the
late rebellion the downfall of our Go
vcrnment and institutions, because,
perhaps, the wish was father to the
thought; and they were greatly as
tonished to find that we put down
the rebellion and preserved the Go
vernment. But they will be more
astonished at the result of this i'm
parchment business; for it will not
IN the least affect Or imperil our in
stitutions. It is a curious and entirely
novel episode in our history, it is true,
though not without precedent in
France and England; butt will come,
go and beforgotten without impeding
the prosperity OF the country.
