Bow is the matter to be accomplished,

Washington was willing to attempt it?
It, • representing as it does, a sectional
faction, dare not. for the sake.of its fu
ture political prospects, accept of such
terms as the honor 'of the Southern
States would compel them to ask. The
party it represents is sworn to wage an
eternal war against negro slavery, to de
stroy the sovereignty of the States, and
build up a central despotism, to give
freedom to the niggers, let the east to the
white man be what it may; to blot out
local institutions agd control the legisla

living in peace with a party that has
robbed them' of all it could get hold of?
Can they forget the outrages that Aboli
tionism has committed upon their homes,
their wires and little ones? Can they
overlook the desolations in the Shenan

It is strange what effect the order for

"loyal'' portion of the community in
this section of the country. Since it
was issued, we hear no more about
spending the "last dollar and killing the

short of the i intire subjugation of the

Poor, contemptible. cowards that they

about hiving it discontinued.

is regaling isse/f by playing the game of

all other farces an: played before a the
atrical audience, namly, for gain. The
Washington managers of the great bloc:-
dy theatre which has been gotten up in
this country by the Jumpers, Greelya,
and Wilsons, to make fortuneti for the
abolition conspirators of the North, are
merry as Nero over the misery, weeping
and lamentation they have caused thro'-
- out the length and 'breath of' this once
happy land. They find that their fiend- .
ish work pays them well, though the
Republic loses its life, The Blair peace
mission was, no doubt, set on foot to
.humbug the pepple—for humbug it has
proven itself—and to *affect the gold
market, and benefit the 'pockets of the
agitating cabal of abolition managers,
who are superintending the ruination of
our country. The administration,' sin
our humble opinion, no more desires
re-union and a return of fraternal feel

cave ofJanus, and don't you see it, up
goes gold, and the speculators have
made their pile I Thus are the people
humbugged in all their misery.
- DELAYED TOO Lem:l.—Some anxious
inquirer after the ancestors of Butler
the "Beast,'' wants to know in what
year his father, John Butler, was hung
by the Spaniards at - Cabs for piracy.
In our estimation it matters little now
what year .it was in. as the deed was
delayed entirely too long. Thp Oki Man

months before ,Benjamin was born, and
thus have saved our country the disgrace
he has torought upon it.

AsoLmon OATH.—The Tennessee Aboli
tion "Convention," has passed by an almost
unanimous vote, a resolution declaring that
no person shall be considered 'a qualified
voter until be takes a stringent oath declar
ing himself unreservedly in favor of the
Union, and of all the laws and proclamations
issued since the war began by the President
and Congress. In other words, the voter is
compelled to swear support to the shoddy
party and its policy. lu taking this 'oath
the voter pledges himself to endorse all the
illegal and unconstitutional acts of the Pres
ident—acts which were so grossly unlawful
that Congress felt compelled to place the
shield of protection over him by the passage
of the "indemnity act." How a man can
swear to support the Union and Lincoln's
policy at the same time is one of the incom
prehensible things. The! ! Constitution—
through which alone the Ukring tilsts, has
heretofore existed, and can yet ehist—is en
tirely ignored in this oath, and consequent
ly the whole arrangement is simple a de
sign to disfranchise all who will not support
the nominees.of the shoddy party.—Er.
