[Nlilijcdt to the (fuci'si'on of* a A T ational Convention.]
UoniiEiiv.—On Friday morning last, JaSes
M'H'ijv (butcher of this place,) appeared be
fore Esquire Smith, anti matio oath that ho
Intel been robbed of his poekot-book the night
previous, containing some $132, and he named
Vji. 11. Smith, Isaac Wheeler and Joseph
Welsh', as tho men Who had porpStrated tho
outrage. Smith keeps an eating and drink
ing house in South Itanovor street, and it
appears that the four men were in bis saloon,
fitting and drinking to a late hour. Monur
became very much “ fuddled,” and in nt
ienipting to leave the house fell on the pave
ment. lie was not insensible, 'however, and
in attempting to gain his feet was approached
hy the three men, two of whom hold him
while the third took his wallet from his pocket,
'd’ho whole throe wore arrested by officer
Martin, assisted-hy Sx-Shcriff McCartney.
On each man was found $2l of greenbacks,
the kind of money Mocdv said ho lust. Af
ter his arrest Smith gave tho officers the slip
and took to his heels, Col. McCartney fol
lowing in close pursuit, and after a sharp
h.ot-raco ho was overtaken. They wore all
sent to prison to await their trial. Smith is
from Philadelphia and has lived in our town
about a year, dealing in oysters, fish, lager
beer, i-c. Wheeler is a stranger, who has
been here but a short time. Welsh is a aul"
dicr and belongs to the Invalid Corps.
After their commitment had been made'!
out, another information Avas made against
Smith by Geo. Gardner, of South Middleton
township, Avho savoto that ho too hud boon
robbed of his pocket-book, in Carlisle, on the ,
Wednesday previous, containing about $.30,
and be recognized Smith ns the man ivho had
rubbed him;
Wo cannot too highly commend the efforts
our police officers are making to ferret out
■ and bring to justice the scores of scoundrels
■who infest our town. Beyond question Car
lisle is rapidly gaining a most unenviable
name. Nearly every day and night we hear
of robberies, petty larcenies and other villain
ies, and it is high time stringent measures
should bo adopted to put a stop to these dis
gaccful outrages.
The Pennsylvania Reserves— This noble
body of veteran soldiers—that is the few left
of them—arc about to bo <lb-oV,u. S cl trovn
service, having served the full time for which
they enlisted, three years. In a day or two
a number of them who belong to our town
and county will return homo to greet their'
relatives and friends, and to, recount the pri
vations, the hardships and tho hair-broad til
escapes they have passed through since they
last gazed upon tho fair fields of the Cumber
land Valley. They come homo covered with
honors, for most faithfully and heroically
have they performed more than their duty.—
They enlisted at a time when no largo boun
ties wero offered by Government and by
counties to tempt the avaricious; at a time:
when it was not considered “ treason” ,to
speak out in favor of tho “ Union as it was
and tho Constitution as it is;’’ at a time
when pure patriotism and love of country
prompted men to deeds of valor and self-de
nial ; at a time, in fine, before fanatical Abo
litionists dured to fulminate their mure dark
and treasonable designs.
Those few veterans, we say, are about to
return home, and arrangements should at
once be made to give them a proper reception.
Many who loft ,us three years ago, alas 1
sleep in gory graves—they have fought their
last battle, and no tears can coll them back
to earth, lint those of their comrades who
escaped the rebel bullets will he with us, and
we repeat we should spare no pains to tender
them the hospitalities of tho town. Let a
meeting bo called then, and tho necessary
arrangements made to give a hearty welcome
to tlm few veterans left of the Pennsylvania
Pveservos.
Wickedness in our Town.— For the last
few months our town has been noted for its
wickedness and profligacy. It is becoming
.worse every week, and something must be
done to check the nuisance. Wo hoar of men
being knocked down and robbed nearly every
day and night; disreputable houses grace
even our principal streets; lagor-bper and
even intoxicating drinks can ho obtained by
boys at dozens of places ; ladies and little
girls are insulted by inebriated brutes; and
curses loud and deep can bo heard on the
streets at all hours of the night. Really our
town is gaining a most unenviable name.—
What can bo done to chock this prevailing
wickedness ? , Wo can suggest but one mode,
and that is the employment of a good night
police. Let some four or six good, reliable,
resolute men be employed at so much a night
to guard the people and thoir interests. Let
these police officers bo selected, not because
of their politics, but because of their fitness
for the position. We can think of no other
mode by which our.citizens can bo protected.
Cnuucii Dedication.— The house of wor
ship of the Church of Uod, purchased from
tho Associate Presbyterians, having been
thoroughly remodeled, will be re-dedicated to
the worship of Qodjon Sunday next, Junefltb.
Rev. A. Swartz will preach tho dedicatory
sormon, assisted by other ministers of tbe
churchy -
Suicide. —On Wednesday morning of last
week, ii German (whose name Wo did not
learn,) committed suicide near West Hill, in
West Pennsboro’ township, by hanging him
elf with a rope from the limb pf a tree.—
When discovered he had been dead for some
ires. Ko cams assigned fc? the rash act.
.aimvs will.
In our, paper of to-day wo publish a doc-'
umont which many of our readers, perhaps,
noVfir perused ;it is tho last will and testa
ment'of Andrew Jackson,” made at tho Her
mitage, Juno 7, 1843—twenty-one yeavs.ago.
Wo desire to 'cull attention to this last great
production from tho pen of tho man the peo
ple loved. It will be soon that he beqaeathed
SlO.OOO to lilair it Hives, Which was money
he had borrowed of 'them during his occu
pancy of the .President’s chair. This is
proof that tho old hero,was poor at tho time;
ho was President of the United States, and
was compcllcd to borrow money from friends
to pay pressing debts. Honesty was then
taught nnd practiced at tho White House.—
How different is it now-? Now, profligacy,
high living, and a loose morality 'are observa
ble in all tho public Departments at Wash
ington. Just now a committee of Congress
is in session to ascertain how many disrepu
table women are in tho employ of tho Secre
tary of tho Treasury.
But, particularly would wo call the atten
tion of fanatical Abolitionists to Jackson’s
will. Eet our political preachers read it—
those wild priests who worship sambo and'
applaud corruption, instead of worshiping
God nnd honoring His Son.’ Some of these
pious gentlemen are going about tho country,,
in the pay of tho Union Thieves League, de
livering lectures on Life and character
of Andrew Jackson. ” 'Tn those lectures they
attempt to'make it appear that Javkson was
r.n Abolitionist, -amf entertained {political
opinions ns treasonable and infamous-as those
’entertained by Lincoln! Let them, wo say
road Jackson’s Will, and wo think they will
discover that the old hero was no Abolition
ist, nor did ho consider it tho unpardonable
sin to hold slaves. And yet it is his great
name and exalted character those fanatics
would uso to aid them in their assaults .upon
tho Constitution! Jackson once said " wo.
cannot save tho Union by violating tho Con
stitution', tho man who strikes at any fea
ture of the Constitution is a traitor, and de
serves a traitor’s reward.” Ah, if he now
lived, how amazed would lie ho to see the
White House occupied by a man who writes
long letters in.defence, not of the Constitu
tion, hut of its violation. And with what
scour would he notice his own likeness on
tho Avails of the political League rooms
rooms occupied by men who approve of Mr.
Lincoln’s assaults upon tho Constitution,
and of his attemps to stifle free speech and a
tree press. One glance from his eagle eye
would tell those wretches that “ by the Eter
nal” ho would not permit his name to ho
used for their unholy purposes, or his por
trait to grace tho walls of their political club
rooms.
At tho General Conference of tho Metho
dist Church, which has been in session in
Philadelphia for some lime, a resolution was
adopted by yeas 100; nays 8, in favor of so
amending the church Discipline ns to exclude
slaveholders from the church and from the
communion table. This is fanaticism run
mad. According to this the Father of his
Country, if ho now lived, could not partake
of the Lord’s Supper in company with the
politicat saints of the present day ; nor could
Madison, Monroe, or Jackson, for they wore
ail slaveholders. And yet these political
preachers pretend to revere the names of these
departed sagos, and their portraits can he
found in all tho political tlnion League
rooms in thecountry. Sometimes, too, John
Brown's likeness can be seen in these club
rooms! and this is right am! proper, fur John
Brown was a thief and murderer, a disun
ion and dissembler, who spit upon all
laws and laughed in mockery at the Consti
tution. It is proper, therefore, that tho men
of the present day who admire Brown’s char
acter and who follow his teaching, should
.Kraco their Jacobin club rooms with his like
ness. But wo insist that it is an outrage
and an insult to their memories, to suspend
the portraits of Wasiiinuton, Madison, Mon
roe and Jackson in tho Iftme rooms. They
all owned slaves, and according to the pres
ent Abolition belief, this debars them from
enjoying tho presence of a crucified Redeem
er. Let our Abolitionists be consistent, if
they can, and take down from the walls of
their League rooms the portraits of the
holders that now adorn them. Lot them
worship before the likeness of old Brown if
they desire, for ho was one of their party ;
and let them, preachers and all, bespatter
Lincoln with fulsome and sickening flatte
ry, for by so doing they obtain Chaplaincies
and fat contracts, hut let them ml insult the
nation by coupling tho names of'departed
patriots with those political liiiputians of tho
present day, who trample upon and sneer at
the precepts and example of the early fath
ers.
33ut, wo have been .digressing. Our object
in commencing this article was to call the
attention of our readers to Jackson’s Will.—
It is an interesting document and will repay
a careful perusal.
■ Mariilc Excoriates Vrsron sir. — We pub
lish on our first page the able letter of Man
ton Mardi.e, tbe proprietor of the New York
World, to Ann.uiAji Lincoln. Every one in
whose hands this paper falls, should give a
caioful reading. It shows so nnmistakoably
how fast this our Government is going into
the destruction of a one-man, partisan despo
tism, that the sincerely patriotic and loyal
should become actively alarmed at such ter
rible encroachments of illegal and unjustifia
ble power. Let those read it, also, who wore
so indignant and so loud for capital punish
ment, when they chose to believe the forged
proclamation was a copperhead fraud, but
who are silent now as to vengeance when
facts prove that a loyal leaguer is the culprit.
Let them become wise and better men Jrom
tho reading of it. Let the very loyal shoots
which have emptied tho-vials of their wellj
paid Government wrath upon tho unfortunate
World copy this letter, and give thereby at
least one bit of reading matter to' tho public
that is not the offshoot of fireside patriotism
or Government patronage. This letter will
live and be a rebuke for all time against him
who now misrules tho destinies of our coun
try-
The Grass Cuor,—The late soaking'rains
have had a wonderful effect upon the grow
ing grass, and should nothing happen to the
crop, our farmers will secure an immense
yield of superior hay. The grain fields also
look favorable.
TUB AMNESTY MOCLAMATM.
The Abolition papers' have been
their readers that Southern men Were much
alarmed when Lincoln issued his infamous
nnd mischievous Amnesty Uroalaitiation, and
•that they were' very -careful Tidt ‘to 'hare it
read'or even talked 'about in ,tlio 'Southern
States. A greater falsehood never was told..
Every Southern paper published it, and tons
of thousands Of extras containing it wore
stricken off expressly for tho rebel army. If
was the very document the South Wanted, and
they spread it far and wide. They knew that
it would unite their-people to a man, and
convert thousands who had been Union men’
•to tbo rebel oauee. Wo have no doubt that
infernal domnifont raised up against tho
North fifty or a hundred thousand bayonets,
and at the sumo time created dissensions-and
heart-burnings in mir oavu' army.
The Ilichmond ihjirirer'th'usspoaks'on Ibis
subject. It'directs its remarks to the New
York Triliim. Says the Inquirer■:
“"As to the suppression 'of “ President Lin
coln's proclamation of amnesty,” it is utterly
false. Tho Jinqnirer published it in full—
so did every daily paper. It Avna exactly tho
kind of proclamation wo wanted Mr. Lincoln
to make, ft was tho Tall and complete con-,
firmation of all we had charged upon Lincoln; 1
it demonstrated, hy confession, that Wo were
correct when Avp told the people of the Con
federate -States tliat tho subjugation of their
liberties avus to bo effected by their degrada-'
tion to a level with their slaves, ft shocked
, the sensibilities (if every class of the people,
and Avas satisfactory evidence that not social
ruin, but the outrage of mothers, wives ar.d
sisters, hy brutalized negroes, was the terms',
■an'wthe only terms of amnesty offered.
11 To have suppressed this proclamation
Avould have been an not of stupendous folly,
Tho Tribune understands political capital
in party slang. This proclamation supplied
that capital; it could not be denied ; it could
not be ■explained. Its meaning was palpable;
its objects too plain to need explanation or
elucidation. Wo spread it before our.read
ers ; called their attention to it; wo invited
them to read. They did read it; tho soldiers
read it, and while aa'.o wiii not attribute to tho
proclamation all the enlistments that have re
cently taken place, avo do believe that it gave
to our decimated army eight or tea full regi
ments,”
Sitoddv Dash,—ln noticing instances of
fuolishiCsvavaganeo, so prevalent at this lime
in the great metropolis, tho New York Tri
bune relates the following:
Wo heard the other day of a most ridicu
lous “ dash” made by a New Yorker of re
ported wealth now ; but who was not long
ago a citizen of Rochester in moderate cir
cumstances; The distinguished gentleman
made his appearance in Broadway in a beach
and four wilii as many servants in livery as
could bo accommodated. Close by was his
wife in a separate carriage drawn by two
horScs—with servants in livery as above.-
Next came another Carriage with like ap
pointment containing tho children of the very
distinguished couplet Could a rooro ludi
crous or a more melancholy spoetaolo bo pre
sented for the contemplation of men of sense ?
Tho “ distinguished gentleman” spoken of
above, is a terg “ loyal” man, a prominent
member of tbo New York “ Union League,"
who desires to see the war go on for ten or
twenty years. Ho has had heavy Govern
ment contracts, and, being one of tho pets of
tho administration, has boon permitted to
fleece tho Treasury to tho tune of twoor throe
millions of dollars, lie is rich now—worth
his millions —and ho rides in a coach and
four, and his wife ami babes in a coach and
two, with servants in livery. Glorious times
these, for “ loyal thieves," but not so glori
ous for tho people at large.
N. B.—We neglected to mention that this
“ distinguished gentleman” is in favorof the
ro-noininati.on of Lincoln for the Presidency.
Ho is of opinion that the “ smutty joker”
in akes a most excellent President—he means,
of course, for the contrators.
To nr. Indicted. —Gov, Seymour, of New
York, has'writtou to the District Attorney of
the county of New York, to have indictments
procured against all who were concerned in
tiie arrests connected with the World and Jour
nal of Commerce offices. In his letter to his
law officer-he says, “it is charged these acts
of violence were done without duo legal pro
cess, and without sanction of the Stato or na
tional laws. If this he true, tho offenders
must bo punished. In making your inqui
ries and in prosecuting parties implicated,
you will call upon the Sheriff' of the county
and the heads of the Police Department, for
any needed force and assistance., Tho fail
ure to give this, by any official under my
control, will he doomed sufficient cause for
removal.” That’s tho kind of talk. Sey
mour is the man to deal with law-breakers.
Let him put them through ‘‘to tho bitter
end.”
Tnc Weather. —Tho fickleness of our
spring weather was never more remarkably
exemplified than in tho suddenness with
which sunshine and showers has succeeded
eaohotherof late. Storm chases storm across
tho sky, with delicious intervals of sunshine.
The sweet refreshing showers, which, which
so greatly benefit vegetation, come and de
part with a suddenness thet is extraordinary
even in our changeful climate.
The War News. —Gen. Grant now occu
pies nearly tho same ground McClellan oc
cupied in 18G2; indeed bo has adopted Mc-
Clellan’s plan of capturing Richmond, He
is not quite as near the Rebel capital as Lit
tle Mack Was two years ago, but he is push
ing on slowly and surely, and with bis im
mense army ho will certainly secure the long
wished for prize before many days.
Festival nr the Middlesex Union Aid
Society. —Tho members of the Society pur
pose bolding a Festival in aid of tho sick and
wounded soldiers of our army, at tho County
Barn, on Saturday, Juno Hth. An elegant
collation will bo served, together with ice
cream, strawberries, and other delicacies of
the season. A fine band will bo in attend
ance, and speeches from several distinguished
gentlemen may bo expected. All the friends
of our brave army throughout tho county are
cordially and earnestly invited to attend.—
Peed for horses cun bo procured on the
ground. Tickets can ba bad of each member
of the Society, and on tho ground the day of

■SYMPATHIZER SENTENCED.
■3. "N. Boucher, a noted Saoesh citizen, has
just been sentenced 'to one year in -Fobt©bla
n are, Tor'aiding Miss titrio Murray In •pass
ing into the -Hobo! -army.--- Washington 3xl
-
But a few weeks ago BrcsiSerit Lincoln
committed tbb Very samo clime for which
•Boucher has hoen found guilty and sentenced
to prison for one year. By a written permit
and under a flag of truce from the President
himaolf, Mrs. "White, a sister of Mrs. Lin
-CoT.n, ■’{Who Was a notorious rebel sympathiror
and spy, and whoso husband is a General in
the rebel army,) was sent homoj to Georgia,
in safety-, the Atlanla-(Goorgia) papers an
nounced her arrival in that city, and con
gratulated their readers -on the “ success of
; hpr mission.” She took with hoT from the
Nortli six large trunks, filled with rebel uni
forms, percussion caps, medicines, surgical
instruments, and other matters calculated to
give “ aid and comfort to the enemy.” Those
articles, amounting to some §lO,OOO, she had
with bar at -President 'Lincoln's house, and
ho must have known all about them, and
'that her husband was a rebel Gonpral. The
•uniform Mrs. White purchased for her hus
band, the Georgia papers say,,ls the^.most
elegant and costly one in the Confederate
army. -Mrs. IV. also took with hot §4,000 in
gold, probably a loan from her sister, Mrs.
Lincoln. And yet this rebel spy '(Mrs.
White,) was passed through the linos by Mr.
Lincoln’s written order! If Boucnus/tbea,
is to suffer a year’s imprisonment “ for aiding
Miss Lizzie MurSaV (a spy) in passing into
tho rebel army,”-wo insist that justice re
quires that’tho same sentence be passed upoU
Abraham Lincoln for aiding Mrs, J. To'dd
White “in passing into tho rebel array.
Thia would bo fair-, right and proper.
Bobov Lincoln.— Our worthy ’President,
familiarly called" Old Abe," has a hopeful sou
—the offshoot of his loins—the heir expect
ant of his house and throne. This “ aspir
ing youth”—not he, however, who “fired tho
Ephesian dome"—is of draftablo age, say
about nineteen years old. Now, every time
a proclamation is issued, ordering another eon-.
ectipfion* we hear tho name of this lad men
tioned, and tho Wonderls inevevyhody’s mouth
whether ho will he caught in tho not. -People
will talk, and they aro so’ uncharitable as to
say that whereas so many mothers have giv
en up thoir sons to die in tho “ slaughter
pens," and to sacrifice thoir Uvea on tho alter
of their, country, that Mrs. Lincoln and lior
worsor half should fhooly yield up
the same end. Cortes, there is some— a good
deal—of philosophy in this ’, and sundry peo
ple go fhrthnr, and say that this scion of tho
royal—we wero about to write “ loyal"—-
■stock should not wait to ho drafted, but should
volunteer, at once, and thus net an example to
others whoso “ patriotism" is beginning to
flag. Wo should like to see him fighting as
a private in tho ranks; but, if this is too
low a station for his “ vaulting ambition,"
let his venerable and Venerated “ parient"
secure him a commission in sonic regiment
composed of “ American citizens of African
descent," that ho may flesh his maiden sword
upon tho field of battle, and by his valor
make tho name of Lincoln immortal 1 Who
knows hut what he might o. vuryiiui
spurin chivalry, “ pluck up drowning honor
by the locks,"’or “ snatch it from tho pale
faced moon 1” If ho should fall why then
reiiukscat inpace.
Careful os tub Negro. — In tho grant
“ Battle of tho wilderness” on Friday, thoGth
inst., the New York Tribune’s account saya :
“ Tho negro troops of General Burnside,
commanded by Gan. Ferroro, had boon placed
at the disposal of Gen. Sedgwick, with tht)
request that, unless absolutely.- necessary,
they should not be put into the tight.
The negroes remained within a mile and a
half of tho frout during the outirc day until
dark and were not brought into action.” ■
This was tho most fierce and desperate of
tho conflicts of tho campaign and was in fact
a drawn battle, . If we had had number of re*
liable troops equal to. tho number of negroes
thus kept idle, it might have boon made ado
oisivo victory.
Also in “ Carloton’s” account of tho battle
of tho lOttf, near Spottsylvanin, describing
Burnside’s operations at an important crisis
of the fight, he says “ tho colored troops wero
not in the charge.”
So in Gon. Banks’ disastrous battle on Bed
Siver, wo a v o told that tho negro troops wero
not used. Why was this ? Are. these blacks
reliable 7 And if so, why were they not
made to do their part in tho bloody work ?
Tlieso facts are significant. They show
either that the officers in command have no
confidence in the negro troops, or that thoy
aro very careful of placing them in a position
not to ho “ hurt.”

*'O»R DAILY FAIR.”
The above is tho title of a noat daily news
paper which is to bo published by tho Sani
tary 'Commission during tho Groat Central
Fair, to bo held iu Philadelphia this month.
As this paper will contain a daily-account of
the Fair, it will bo worth 'preserving. Wo
take it Tot granted that'itwill 'not'teuoh upon

publication committee is compose of Kepab
lioaa politicians. Ono dollar a copy, in ad
vance, is to ho tho price of tho paper.
Tho editor of tho Volunteer haft been re
quested hy tho Committee to. act as -Corres
ponding Chairman for tho paper, and to re
ceive communications and subscriptions for
tho samo for Cumberland county. All sub
subscriptions left with'us will ho at onoo for
warded to tho publishing committee, also ar
ticles in prose and poetry. Nothing of a po
litical character will ho received. Tho sub
joined extract from the circular of tho Com
mittee, will furnish the reader an idea of
What “ Our Daily Fair" will •hoi”'
It is intended that the journal in ques
tion shall bo, in every respect, fully equal to
any publication of its kind ever issued in
America. Assurance has been received from
■numbers of our first Writers -o’f their Inten
tions to contribute to its ‘Columns, and it is
hoped that tho applications which havo been
made to celebrated iiteraii Ip Europe will hot
bo less successful. A eampieie history of the
•Fair, Very full 'and spirited reports of all our

goods for saloiu it, -anecdotes SeUin'g.fo’rth its
'character, records 'of tho amusements Rnd
oSchibitioUs given in its nid.and copious facts
illustrative of the Sqnitary movement, Will
form important, HoWel, and highly practical
features in tho newspaper, to Which Will bo
added events and incidents of the battje-fiold
and ol the “ Sanitary,” with articles in proso
and verse, referring to tho war for the Union,
the object and experience of tho Commission,
-or to oVehts and incidents connected with tho
Sanitary Fairs which havo been held in dif
ferent cities. ' To this a Committee, Especially
appointed for tho purpose, have -added 1 tho
result of their researches, in the form of
deeply interesting documents by Gon. Wash
ington, Franklin, Jefferson, Lafnyotto, Wm.
Penn, and other groat men of our past, never
before printed. Many of these papers will ho
found applicable to tho present crisis, and
well worth, of themselves, far mora than,tho
price of the newspaper-. Anvoftg other liter
ary curiosities, wo are able to promise a cu
rious autobiographic letter by tho English
novelist, Smollett, to an American.
“Tho newspaper will bo beautifully print
ed on tho finest paper, and as it is to ho pre
pared with special referenoo to binding, in
one elegant volume, no advertisements will he
admitted. It will, wo trust, form a valuable
and attractive memorial of tho Groat Fairs of
1804, and ho priced as such by all Who may
possess it. It is intended that it shall ho a
journal for tho whole Union—for tho Bast as
well as for 'the West—and as snob wo com
mend it to every om) in the country, being
confident that its contents will ho of‘interest
to all,"
ShrPKEssiON or N. Y. Papers,— Tho great
ado which thb administration made over tho
bogus despatch., published -by tho New York
World and journal of Commerce, was only
Worthy of such ah administration. It would
have been sufficient for either Stanton or Se
ward To have contradicted it, if even such
contradiction had been hecßssary after tho
prompt contradiction made by the j'ournals
which had published it. Tfut Lincoln, Stan
ton and Seward wore all in a fever, and all
camo out in cards ot Contradiction, This was
certainly sufficient, but tho pretext was of
fered to suppress a oouplo of democratic pa
pers and imprison tho editors. It finally
turns out, however, that tho author of the
bogus despatch is a strong Union- Languor
and “ woolly-hoad," as sonic Republicans
used to Cali, them. Ono of tho kind that
speculates in the blood of tho country, and
talks about copperheads and traitors. Tho
administration had shown such vigor and ve
hemence against tho democratic editors, that
it daro not hack clear out when tho political
complexion ot the offenders was changed, and
so tho author was arrested-. Uis stay in du
rance vilo will, however, ho short, for it is
against tho Chicago Platform Constitution to
punish a leaguer,
" Educating” Negiioes.— Mrs. Frances
D. Gage, a strong minded woman, of Ohio,
who went to tho Sea Cotton Islands to teach
tho contrabands, says of the negroes i

Dying—Dying.— Senator Doolittle said in
Congress the other day: “ Slavery, Mr. Pre
sident, is dying, dying, all around us.” To
this tho DnytoU (0.) Umpire says ;
“Yob: And Constitutional liberty is dy

aii that wo have prized of peace, of social or
der, of neighborly kindness, of friendly inter
course in society, is dying. And dying, too,
by hundreds of thousands, aro tho brothers,
fathers, eons, of the most frenzied, deluded
and miserable people. Why did not Mr.
Doolittle toll it all while he was about it.”
Op Course Not.— ln tho Senate of - tho
United States Mr. Cowan moved to insert the
word “ white” before “ male citizen,”in de
signating these who are toho voters, tho other
day.. Mr, Sumner said “ I hope not, I hope
not, Mr. PresidentOt course Mr.Sdinnor
“ hopes not.” He has much more objection
to tho voting of white men who are Democrats
than that of the dear negroes and nmlattoes
he and hls-party have lately stolon from their

Of course Mr. Sumner hopes not—Daily
