MONDAY.. .....DECEMBER 18 The Lowest and Meanest Depth. Daring the past seven year we have looked .oyer and , read a great many newspapers, both of loyal and rebel procHTities. and. affiliations. , We cannot now call to mind a solitary instance in which any one of them denounced a reasonable appropriation by the city or county .authorities where they were published, o aid in the proper' observance and celebration of Anniversaries of the Declaration of National Independence. When the war l-wai -aging-: furiously, 'many rebel "newspapers urged the proper celebration of the Fourth of July. They were unwilling thatjhe.ijp.utbern people should loss all their interest in its glori ous memories.''1 It 'is reserved for. the Evans-villa 'Courier-to r descend to the depth oC meanness necessary to denounce an approprjatTou asked for by the people to aid in calibrating trie joyous event--This conduct or the part of the Courier may seem strange to those who are not acquainted with the editor's political affinitiesand';wo forget, that ,our last Fourth of Ju'.y the anniversary of the surrender ofYicksburg. and the retreat of Lee's array from its defeat at Gettysburg, as it was of the birth of American Independence.,.," .To - those acquainted with, and Remembering, all the facts in 'the case, everything i perfectly consistent and .easy of . explanation. - Shdwlaslhelr Bands. OUih In the.Seaate yesterday morning the toilowmg resolution was offerea by Sen ator Benton bf Kenton": " Resolved, That '.he Cotamittee on Be vised Siatutes be, and are. hereby, inetruclad, trf tnqnim iatoihe propriety of repeating all laws ot this Commonwealth which relate to the.,' subject-of slavery, ana that they report by bin or otherwise, In the discussion of this resolution. Mr. Senltdr COchran of" Shelby County made a speech opposing it, in the coarse of which he rJeaJared that be believed Jeff. Davis was a traitor, in trying, to destroy the Constitution oi the United States; that President Lincoln was also . a traitor, because he had gone as far as Jen. Davis in destroying the Constitu tion : and that Andrew Johnson ' was i traitor, because he had gone as far as President,. .Lincoln in destroying the Constitution.' - Ex-Gov.Helm, Henator from Hardin. said if PrfMdea.t Johnson or .Congress sent their edicts to Kentucky, and they were in tHtraventkn of States' Rights, then he was ready to rebel against such edicts. -While he acknowledged the power in the States Xa adopt the, Consti tutional Amendment, yet he believed. with the Senator from Shelby,' that its adoption did ust destroy slavery ia Ken tucky. . The resolution as lost by a yota of ayes, 15, noes lyf bat one Conservative voting in fti favor. .. . Thos the try of nullification and rebellion is already raised in the Legis lature of Kentucky. t iO" ' cfturge, ,the edicts spoken -of by Senator. Helm refer to the Constitutional amendment, for that was the only-question in contro versy. And if this attempt to enforce it is made in Kentucky the Senator is ready to rebel. ' Thig, we suppose, is the something siai-'tlingj -referred to by the Louisville Conservative organ, that was soon to be heard from hrankfort. The standard of revolt was to be raised, and at the Capitol.'' We thank God that the armies of. the, uoion are not vet dis banded 'orjjrebellion IS. rife I here- in Kentucky, 'ready- to break out if the policy of the. Administration is success fui. We are not surprised at the course of the Senator from Shelby, as. his county has been from .the first the hot bed of Kentucky, treason.-' Nor are - we surprised at the remarks of the Senator from Hardin, as he from the first of the rebellion -fang been classed with the most ultra of Kentucky rebels. Frankfort Commonwealth, Dec, 12th. .. . - , , sS Betnarks. i - r t '. ' It does not appear strange to ns that aen, who have alwaya been rebels in feeling and action, should Btiil manifest their rebel proclivities. We have no philosophical reason for' expecting the leopard to change his spots in the nineteenth century, any more than ha was in the habit of doing, in the earlier history of the world. : ; r y : j Senators Cochran and Helm, surprise nobody. We are as little disturbed by their manifestations of hostility to the Government, as we are" at the ungovernable rage into which the mere recollection of money spent for appropriately celebrating the Fourth of July the Anniversary of National Independence seems to throw the Courier of this city. Senator Helm is disposed, to rebel against the enforcement, of the Constitutional AmnndinDt, and the Courier is quat'x.ty'rtt 'Xf' "i'"'3t a proper celebration of the Fourth .of July. We pre. tume the Senator would cheerfully obey the Montgomery Constitution, and the editor of the Courier as gladly celebrate the anniversary.' of ita adoption by the rebel States. Parnobile tratrum. """''' , . 1,..- .. The FrankforVjKj.r Commonwealth ays that there is good deal being said by Kentucky Conservatives about political harmonyaf fqrgettjnj of .the , past, letting bygones be bygones. Ia fact it is a pet hobby of theirs.' ' They are calling upou all to lay aside animosity, to cherish a forgiving spirit and to lay aside evaa' party strife... They ; want Union an 3 harmony:' 'But their practice does not accord with their preaching. They most virtuously, call to harmony, but make a mental reservation with regard to "those wh 6" all through the late bloody strife 'have stood loyal to the Union, and shqt them entirely out of their views and, purposes of . peace." The above holds equally good with some o-called Conservative? Jq this latitude. By its geographical position and railroad connections,"' Chicago, is ;the great distributing-centre for the mail matter of the greatfWst: Over forty millions of letters areCfceceived and. forwarded there for other points, and the correspondence of the jcitjr alone amounts to aeventeen millions of letters per annum. This is exclusive of newspapers, of which an" almost incalculable number are received and sept to their destination. The letter carriers' report places Chicago next to Boston and ahead of Baltimore,' St' Louis, Brooklyn, Cleveland and Cincinnati, in point of mail delivery to the residences and places of business of citizens.'. It is not surprising that Chicagoites should regard these facts with pride, as pregnant indications of the present and future progress bf

the metropolis of the Northwest. "" ., Oi i i . i ..-' "' Victor Emanuel's speech on the opening of the new Italian Parliament in the new capital of Italy is looked upon in Paris as rather threatening in its language toward Borne; and Austria; the recognition of his throne by Bavaria, Saxony, and'Wurtemburg having not a little contributed to strengthen it, and to isolate "Austria still more. There are five theatres In the oil region, located at Meadville, Corry, Oil City, Pit-Hole; -and Franklin. i-Two or three of them have adopted the pretentious and meaningless title of " Academy of Music," X"1;'' fe'.i il t ' I '.'

Quack-Quaker Democracy. . j "An eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth," is a maxim upon which.the nations have hitherto largely acted and f justified their prae'tiee. Thamaxim and" j the policy it indicates were, however, in j direct contradiction to the manual of i

the New Dispensation by which they professed to be governed, and has been gradually giving way to the more humane and just and practicable inculcations of the latter; so much so, that it is, happily, not' unreasonable to anticipate the time 'when the word vengeance 6ball be expunged fromtSep6TilTcaI vocabulary of the peoples.- Of course we refer solely to the past, present and future of the more advanced, the Cbristianpworld. - It " is, nevertheless, true musf forever be trrie--that those who unnecessarily, offensively, or for in adequate purposes, take up the sword, shall' 'saffer " or -perish by the sword. -It cannot be, it -must-Dover, never be, that the spiritual, progress and actual attainments of mankind shall be subject to the behests, requirements or demands of whatsoever selfish,, evenescent con temporary interest, or the adherents of whatsoever surviving principle of barbar ous ages may choose to dictate. It cannot, it must not be, that the authors and inheritors of th highest mental, moral and material achievements shall tamely submit to the dominion, to the adherents of the lowest, most unskilled forms of development, and allow the yoke of barbarous ages to be re-adjusted through coercion enforced by the very powers and enginery they themselves produced. As long as the violent, the selfish, the intolerant, and the barbarous exist in the world,, so long must resistance endure. God forbid that the best of men should ever become sheep ish. Peace would not thereby be secured,, while all that rendered life valuable would be surrendered and obliterated. - ' It is written, "resist not evil". It is also , written, "resist the devil;" and when he uses a fool's weapons it is doubtless meant that similar instrumentalities shall be employed, against him. In this country, and in this age of it, the fool's weapons, ' and bis arguments, are threats, violence and coer cion. Shall the devil alone be the re cipient of those advantages which were produced by, and intended for, the godlike? Nay, verily, it shall not be bo never. . A manual designed for popular use was compelled to employ a peculiarly concentrated method of expression, and any single, sentence indiscriminately used, is liable to be misused.' "Resist not evil" cannot signify the invariable acquiescence and receptance of wrong. It evidently concerns mere personal contumely, where perjury to one's con victions, and abandonment of principle, ; is not involved.. Assuredly it does not imply jtliat thir people should aban don its well established, convictions, principles and true policy its position as the leader of the nations of the present and its illimitable, magnificent prospects as the example of the future at the orders of a faction, the partial interests of a small minority, or even at the grand prospects of unlimited nigger raising and nigger productions. " . , ' But since we have successfully secur ed those grand and worthy objeds of effort and sacrifice against their no less indisputably low and degraded preten sions, it becomes our necessity to mete the measure of justice " to those who occasioned the necessity for the mighty efforts expenditures of blood and treasure, and happiness and holiness. ' Certainly, So far, 0 we - have much exceeded the maxim of modern moral philosophers,: and more than agreed to temper justice with mercy. Mercy has scarcely been tinctured with justice. So true is this, that the con queror and the advocate of consti tutional law has, so far, required no other, penalties of the , insubordinate than he himself suffered in subduing the lawless.1' 1 '-' v In reference to Davis, we imagine the Administration to be influenced by the following considerations:: That, as the leniency of the Government has been so general in its Bcope towards traitor and rebels, and its intentions of punishment so commonly limited only to those who have directly exhibited an utter absence of the better feelings of a common humanity, kit becomes, perhaps necessary, perhaps its duty and its best" policy, to signalize ita right to punish traitors, and its right to enforce obedience to the will of the majority under the Constitution, as the only principle under which the Government of a free people can be maintained ; and that, whether the majority be for the time io the right 5 . Til A3 '.....-! i ' 1 ... or not. ..me.. Aumimairauon aiso is doubtless actuated by the conviction that the hitherto rebellious are in dan ger of falling into an old and' habitual error-of theirs that impunity, forbearancetowards Hhemj or - pardon means right On their part, and doubt on the side of Government f and the people sympathise with: the Administration ia a sense pf the extreme probability and danger of such an understanding of its humane policy. It is felt, also, that to' fearf alone may be attributed ita conciliatory measures and a disposition, t encourage a quicker birth, if not renovation, of a feeling of love and brotherhood for our common Country and between our common countrymen. On these account a notable and prominent example of the legitimate punishment due to treason in inns may be deemed indispensible And" for those reasons', it ia not unjust for one or more to suffer though many are allowed to escape. " Thus we answer the questions, why hang so; and so, when others, perhaps equally guilty are pardoned. Thus is common law administered. But whatever may be the verdict or conclusions in .regard to Davis, we shall be satisfied that an Administration composed of such men as is the present, has acted as near aa any would be apt to do, for the best interests of the country and .humanity. Certain Demosratic (so called) pa pers are constantly harping on the im propriety of religious views of politics when these don't suit them, and as continually urging their own conceptions of their ideas of religions politics, such as , they are. Certainly they are evidence enough that they do not believe in Christian policy, though with brazen and absurd inconsistency their religious views of what the policy of Government ought to be, is persistently nrged, in purely Democratic, "temporal and political" papers.' They are most thoroughly and persistently religious. in matter and ,tone, in their own way; but of course we miserable sinners cannot appreciate their peculiar methods and interpretations. ' D.

Wages in the Sou. h. The Southern papers are .continually clamoring for white laborers; and yet what encouragement do they offer to tbei. - migration ? KIhey have-not the least idea what free labor is worth: A company at Montgomery, Alabama, has

issued a circular intended to encourage agricultural laborers to immigrate to the Southern States. The rate ofwages are given in the following extract: -, 7 , BATES OF IBB OF WHITE LA BOB. , ...

A gentleman who has spent the greater portion of many : years 'in Missouri, writes to the St. Louis Democrat; that from the bend in the Mississippi where it turns east from the mouth of the Kansas river, running back for scores of miles, and amply protected against southwest winds by a lare body of timber up the Missouri and Platte rivers and at the mouth of the Kansas, is one of the most valoable fcuit regions ever known.

The Albany Evening Journal says, in speaking of tbe disloyal character of the Virginia Legislature: "At a session on Friday one- chival rous gentlemen remarked, in reference to tbe Bupposed opinion of Mr. Johnson, that be did not ' care .what that opinion was) be thought the great State. of Virginia had truckled to the Washington authorities about long enough;' and, be expression was received with applause. This is only a fair sample of tbe pre vailing temper of the South. The less such men, as that -: Virginia legislator1 have to do with our Government the better. Tbe escape 'of Stephens, the Fenian Head Centre of Ireland, from prison in Dublin, was a most mysterious" aflmr. He was kept in a heavy barred cell, closely guarded by sentinels, and calls were made by a provost detail at stated intervals, to mass sr. re ot nts presence, During the several hours that elapsed between two Of these calls, he disappeared. Though immediate search was made in every direction, no tr Ice of him could be discovered. .The constabulary in every part of Great Britain have been notified to be on the lookout for him. When Stephens was arraigned before the Court, be manifested great indifference, and refused to employ counsel, to suffer counsel to he assigned him, or to make any plea whatever. , . - ' Govibsor Msrtos.
