Itl'Tl.Ki:, Secvrtdi'i/. THAT "COPPERIIKAP’ Last week wealhulod to the fact that one of ouFvural Republican friends had denounced the Declarntioifof Independ ence its a “ Copperhead Speech”'; and a closer examination of that venerable and matchless document has convinced us that he was jnstabout right.. It does read like “ copperhead talk” of the very worst kind. As it was road on the Ith of July, amid the ringing of bells and the roar of artillery, it described the do ings of the tyrants of these- days, fu ly as accurately ns it did the tyranny of Groat Britain in 17Tt»., If the oppressed people of the South chon* to appeal from the wrongs and indignities of a Radical • Congress, Iheyconld line! no fitter terms than those applied by our forefathers to the King of England. Here is a brief extract, \fith a slight transposition of terms: The history of the present Congress Isa history of repealed Injuries and usurpations, all having, for their direct object, the establishment of mi alKolutc tyranny over these. Slates. To prove this, let facts he submitted to a candid world. It Ims refused itwassenl to laws the most whole some ami necessary lor the public good. It has forbidden our Governors to pass laws of Immediate and pressing importance, unless sus*' ponded in their operations till Its assent should no obtained; ami, when so suspended, it hits ut terly neglected to attend to them. It has refused to pass other laws for the accomo dutlon of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the rignt of representa tion In the legislature; a right inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only. It has dissolved representative houses, for op posing, with manly tirmnoss, its Invasion of the right* of the people. It has refused, for a long lime,after such disso lutions, to cause others to ho elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their ex ercise; the State remaining, In the meantime, exposed to nil the dangers of convulsions wit him It has endeavored to prevent the papulation of these Slates by creating an alarming condition of allairs m our midst, and rendering property ln hccmo. It has obstructed the administration of justice, hy refusing its assehl to laws for establishing ju diciary powers It has luade judges dependent on its will alone, for the tenure of their otllccs and the amount and payment of their salaries. It has kept among us, in time of peace, .stand ing armies, without, the consent ot our legisla tures. It has affected to render the military indepen dent of, and superior to. the «dvil power. It has combined with others to subject us to a. jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and un acknowledged by its Jaws; giving its assent to acts of pretended legislation. For quartering large bodies uf armed troops among us. F®r protecting them, by a mode trial, trom pun ishment for any murders win chtltcy should com mit on the inhabitants of these states. For rutting oft* our trade with all paits of the world. For Imposing taxes on us without our consent. For depriving us, In iiuinv eases, of the benelU •f trial by jury. AJI these clauses of the Declaration of Independence might lie quoted with* overwhelming force against the party in power, not by the South alone, but with equal truth hy the people of the North. There is not a charge in the whole catalogue which could not be maintained against the Radicals. Ve rily, it is no wonder the young centlo men from the* rural districts thought it was a “ Copperhead Speech,” for the very principles which it enunciates, the 10l lowers of Thomas Jefferson—the man who wrote it—have been thundering in the cars of the potty despots who now rale the Uoiir; and they will continue In reiterate tiiom until they shall lie vindicated by a people wlui one day shall prove* themselves worthy of their freedom. ni,<;i: nii a its ivoon. The nomination of Judge Sbnrswood is made the occasion of attack hy every mongrel whelp and cur of tlie Radical pack. First, heis too old'for tile Su preme heneh. Next, he wasn’t “loyal” during tlio war. Wo trust that, no Democrat will oven attempt to defend the personal charac ter of Judge Sharswood from such pal try and vindictive charges. As to the first, it is well known that lie is in the prime and vigor of life ; and it is even conceded by honest Republicans that as a lawyer life lias few superiors. As to the second, it is only what lias been charged against every man who was not willing to ho a slave, and see himselt and his country Tinned by the profli gates who controlled it. It is their only stock in trade, and the bundle of rags lias been carried so long and exhibited so often, that it ought to bo a stench even to the nostrils of the admiring friends of the “colored.” Let us defend nothing; but unheeding their false cries, let us lay bare their crimes, thrust upon them the consequences of their own folly, and hold them up, as they deserve to bo held up, to the condemna tion of every- man who isstrivingforthe peace and harmony' of the country. We look In vmn all the resolutions in the Democratic platform to llml one word of gra titude to the soldiers and tailors of the Republic. —fUrlisle Hernia. r During tiio last eighteen months ITe aiddht Johnson appointed some two hundred soldiers and sailors to civil po sitions under the Government, but they, were all rejected by the Rump Senate. “-Vets speak louder than words,” neigh bor. Tlie soldiers and sailors are not to he deceived any longer by fulsome reso lutions adopted by a set of Government contractors, who wore only “loyal” be cause the war atforded them ah oppor tunity to feather their own nests. The course of the Rump Senate toward the “ boys in blue” will not be forgotten, nor will tlie hypocritical resolutions of a Convention of “ Blockheads” deceive ■white soldiers. “We believe tlie sol diers of Pennsylvania will remember this when they come to deposit their ballots.” Indeed will they! TiTlmps It cannot bo helped, but It Is, never theless, unpleanunt to see enfeebled or maimed soldiers In thu character of mendicants.— j>ULv burn Cummerctal, No! it cannot bo helped until after the niggers are ail provided with bal lots in their bands and.homesteads un der their feet. But, even then, what will you have for poor white men? Tint Proedmen’s Bureau agent for Phillips county, Arkansas, reports 2d3 freedmen who received rations during last month, at a cost of $1,034 20. At that rate for a single county; what must he the total’cost for the whole State and also for the other nine States? THE MOB IN THE CAPITAL. . 1 Whether a few fanatical men, meeting in the Capitol of the nation, have, the power either to make or unmake laws, is a question that isattracting the atten tion of many thoughtful men. A full ami lawful Senate would contain sev enty-four Senators. The present Rump concern contains but thirty-seven,. as appears by the vote on the new milita ry despotism bill—;U for the bill, t» against it; being short of a regular .Sen ate, .*l7 votes, or one-half. More than this, several of these Senators hold their, seats by doubtful tenure, having obtain ed them by bribery and corruption, and : by the Rump admitting little Territo ries as States, and grunting them rcx>rc sentation, when their population did not warrant their admission. In the su-calkd “House of Representatives” too, eleven whole States and several dis tricts in others are unrepresented. Who, then, can have respect for a body-or mob like this It is an unlaw ful and treasonable assemblage of men, who have neither the ability or the power to pass laws for the country.— Stevens says that the people are “al most unanimous in demanding the im peachment of Andrew Johnson.” A more deliberate falsehood never was uttered. Had he said that the people would rejoice to see the mob, of which he i> the leader, dispersed at the point, of the bayonet, ho would have been nearer the truth. What the people want is rest, a whole Union, and sta bility in business. They are tired of. ; agitation ; tired of this everlasting talk about the “coming niu»i f V the negro; tired of seeing their tuxes used to keep New England Yankees and Southern negroes in office and in idleness. They wain peace and will have it, oven if to. oMain it they are compelled to put their feet upon the nodes of the usurpers and traitors, whoso brazen , impudence prompts them to meet at Washington, and to call their meeting “Congress.” Old Thad is now and always was a mocker of law and the Constitution.— In iftls he attempted to treat the elec tion in this State “ as though it had never taken place,” and he advised his DOCUMENT. parti/ans to “throw conscience to the devil.” He was a traitor then ; ho is a traitor now. He would see a thousand white men butchered to save the life of a negro, even if that negro were a mur derer. With one foot in the grave and the other trembling on the verge, lie cares’not what becomes of his country. He feels no interest in it, cares nothing !>r its honor or prosperity. On the con trary he desires its destruction, and is doing all he can to bring this about.— His “Congress” is a rump, a mob, and its object the destruction of the Govern ment. Let thoughtful mo pause and reflect and they will, we think, agree with Us that the only way to save this country from angrchy and confusion is to repudiate the bad men who are now attempting to control its affairs. It has leaked out in the trial of John Surratt that the military tribunal which condemned his mother to death, form ally recommended President Johnson to commute her punishment,-and that their recommendation was suppressed and withhold from Mr. Johnson. He never saw it or heard of U. Who sup pressed it? Who withheld it? These questions must be answered. The Mil itary (‘ommis-aon was a device of the War Department. Stanton and Holt contrived it. - Their -judgment and, of course, their recommendation went to the War Department. The War De partment must know all about it. Let it <po.ik. One other witness there was, but his lips are stalled. The ooze of the bottom of the Htidson covers him. This was'Seward’s friend Preston King, He it was, who, in the dark interval be tween Mrs, Surratt’s sentence and exe cution, kept guard at the White House. Ho repelled the weeping daughter. Ile denied all access to the Executive. And the day of doom came, and the holt was drawn and the manacled woman fell “mx feet” and died with'a broken neck or congested brain; and a few weeks la tor, the man who barred the gates of mercy, threw himself oil* a Jersey City ferry boat, and, with loaded pockets and a conscience burdened, sank to the bottom of the river. Rut Holt and Stanton still live to tell what became of tin* recommendation to mercy! THU IIKCJ.ARATIOX OP IxiIEPEXII exch.—A friend writing to ns on pri vate affair#, asks this question : “ You ilia not publish tlie Heclnmtion of [nde pc nilp 11 ci l this year, uh formerly. Why?" We have always heretofore published tlie Declaration of Independence in our issue immediately preceding the 4th of •Inly. But we did not do so this year, for tlie reason that tlie principles of Constitutional Liberty which tlie Decla ration was issued to establish, have been ignoied mid the country degraded to a military despotism. Tims far the peo ple have submitted to this innovation and outrage. If this state of allairs is to be continued—if the country is to be ruled by a mob at Washington, aided by military upstarts—let the people for got that such a paper as the Declaration of Independence was ever written or published. Theiie is one thing concerning the candidates fir the Supreme Bench that should not be lost sight of by the citi zens of this State. Judge Sharswood is “native and to the manor horn,” hnv tirstseen the light in the old Keystone State, and is a true Pennsylvanian. Ho Ims been identified with the interests of our commonwealth and her people from Ids hi nil, and lias always served them well. On the other bund, Judge Wil liams is but an importation, hailing from New England. Were nil other things equal, this consideration alone should decide the balance in favor of Judge Sharswood. Let us honor our own. Let it not ho said that Pennsyl vania sets aside the claims of her own sons, when their talents and ahilties aro 1 ceded. An Unpaid Whisky Bill.—A hill, amounting to $302, which Wilson and Kelley ran up at New Orleans hotels for- hoard, carriage hire, whisky, etc., upon their recent stumping tour, re mains unpaid. The military mayor en deavored to saddle the hill upon the city, hut tlio Chairman of the Finance Committee endorsed upon it, that “ as the city authorities laid no part in the reception,” and that as the mayor had received Wils in, Kelly and fellow-bum mers, “ solely on behalf of a faction of the community,” it could not be paid out of tho city treasury. MRS. SURRATT “NO DISCRIMINATION ON ACCOUNT OF RACE* OR COLOR. To read the proceedings of the pres ent mob at Washington,, calling itself “Congress,” almost any- one would ho Jed to believe that the only object now thought of or eared about is the sweet soented negro. Every iiuc.-tinn that comes up, we care not what it is, is en ded with a eulogy upon entry. From the proceedings ol the mob in the Sen ate, on Friday last, we select the follow ing; During the debate on the now Reconstruction UIU, Mr. Sumner moved mi additional section, requiring tho i;stnbllshmonlof a system of public schools in the Rebel Stales, five to nil. without relation to race or color. Ho (Mr. Sumner) con hi not- dun lit, be said, that colored Senators and Representatives would .soon be welcomed Into the Capitol, [sensation and applause.] Ho advo cated tho requirement of universal education as a condition of read mission of tho Rebel .States. Mr Sumnkh moved another section to.the bill declaring that In the appointment of registers there shall be no dbcrlmlnatioir on account of race or color, , . Mr I'oNKi.iNii (Radical) wished to know whe ther, under the law as It stands, there are dls crimt nnt Unison account of color, and, If not, whe ther the adopt tnnof the amendment would make It obligatory upon Generals to appoint colored registers. Mr. Si’MNcn said that similar questions had been asked him n few years ago. when he was at tempting to get through the Senate a proviso that colored persons should not bcexcludod trom the oars, Complaints came from Virginia that colored gentlemen were excluded from the boards of registration. There was not a single colored register In (hut whole Stale. Mr. Sum ner repeated what he previously said In his speech, that it would ho the duty of the senate, In a .few months, to welcome colored Senators upon this door. [Applause.) Mr. Wiison regretted to learn that no colored men had been appointed ns registers lu Virginia. General Schofield appointed registers very early. General Sheridan did the same, ami ho appoint ed no colored men. General Done appointed one colored man on each hoard, and lie believed Gen eral Sickles did tho same. Mr. Ciiandi.ku remarked that U was the duty of the District commanders to appoint colored men to cilice, and if they failed m this duly Con gress should give them, express instructions on the subject. Mr. Haut.an—That's tlu* talk. Mr. Susinru's amendment, by way of proviso, that “no person shall bo disqualified from serv ing on the boards of registration on account of race or color,** was thou adopted. The above is a fairsamplcof thcdaJUy proceedings of the Rump Senate. “No discrimination on account of race or color,” appear to be the watch-words of the conspirators. Knowing that the white men of the nation have lost all confidence ip the Radical parly, the leaders hope to retain their power by giving the franchise and half the offices to the negroes. But their doom is seal ed. “ Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad,” is an adage that will apply to the conspirators. Austria has lately granted a general amnesty to all political offenders, inclu ding Kossuth. This, from a dcspotical government, sounds strange when wo of this free nation are, through our repre sentatives in Congress, doing just the reverse. It seems incongruous. In Austria they are taking the chains from : the limbs of unsuccessful rebels and re storing them to their rights; in the ■United States the wiclders of authority are persecuting the defeated insurgents and socking to degrade them. It is a curious changing of characters. While we are acting the part of monarchists and tyrants, a nation of the Old World, the home of Haynau, is acting the part of a republican and Christian. Let our Radicals prate no more of “liberty” and “civilization.” If the “reform” they want to give us consists in mili tary subjugation bills, disfranchisement for political offences, confiscation, agra rianism, Ac,, we pray to be delivered from it. We had better have Austrians for Congressmen. ■ Tii k New Oui.kans Nationai.

What a pretty representa tive to have at Washington, truly. Tlie voters of tlie Seventh district will take care of him for this infamous attempt to take from them tlie inalienable right to say whether or not tlie word “ white” shall remain in tlie Constitution of Pennsylvania.

Neither property mfr life Ims beeu at any time secure in that country since the enfranchisement of the blacks.

Tlie Southern States are oat of tho Union.— Davis and the Radicals have triumphed at last.

James Brooks, member of the Rump Congress from New York, and one of the proprietors of the N. Y. Ex press, delivered an able speech against tho Five-monarch bill as it passed thro* the House, the other day. We quote his remarks upon “the development of a conflict of races,” as follows. The truth of die statements and deductions cannot be denied; Sir, I deprecate the passage of this bill in its effect upon the people of the south ern country. Far better would it bo for that land, from tho Fotomao to the Rio Grande; to be as it was one hundred and fifty years ago, a howling wilderness, than to be subjected to the amalgamation of races which you are proposing in this bill. Our country Is now made up of many different races, not only Caucasian, Mongolian, Indian, Chinese, with Japa . nesc about to come here in the Pacific steamers by thousands, and at last the Esquimaux; but you have selected the least intelligent, the poorest informed, except the Esquimaux ; you have selected the African to share with you copartner ship in this Government, while your own wives and children, your minor boys, are shut out from the right of sufirage. You have given to the negro equality and co partnership with’ the white man. Sir, it is impossible for those two races, in my judgment, ever to live together on terms of intimacy, amity and/riendship, as you propose in this bill. You have stored up and are yet storing up for them tho ele ments of awful strife which will produce a perpetual conflict of races. Sir, the negro Haytieu is wiser than you. He allows no white man to own real estate on that island. The black Li berian is wiser than you. He allows no white man to share with him the govern ment of that country. The experiment in Jamaica of a mingled government has broken down, and all free government there is absorbed by the British Parlia ment, which now, through orders in council, disregarding both whites and blacks, exercises supreme power. No where on earth has ever this mixed gov ernment succeeded. One race is superior to another. God so ordained, and no hat of authority of yours can bring down the Caucasian to the African, or bring up the African to the Caucasian. All efforts, all struggles will bo in vain. And this is no new ex periment. It has been tried throughout the whole of Spanish America. Juarez, a half Indian, now Governor and ruler of Mexico, is just now showing there the barbaric character of this mingled Gov ernment of unnaturally associated races, while the numerous other Spanish-uegro Indian hybrid States are almost all of them in constant civil war, armies run ning and overrunning one’another, with the blood of the white man and the blood of tho negro both deteriorated by thus commingling, and yet here this rash, this learful experiment! No, not an ex periment, for experience has alre*ady shown that it never can succeed. You propose to mix and mingle the twelve millions of. your countrymen •in the Southern States of the Union. You take the most ignorant, the most uneducated the most brutish of the population and give them absolute control in boards of -egistvation or through the ballot-box.— It needs not the eye of prophecy.

The following is the message transmit ted to-day, addressed to the Senate of the United States; I transmit herewith reports from the Secretary of War and the Attorney-Gen eral, containing the information called tor by the resolution of the Senate on the 3d inst., requesting the President to com municate to the Senate copies of all or ders, instructions, circulars, letters, or letters of advice issued to the respective military officers assigned to the command of the several military districts under the act passed March 2, 1867, entitled an act to provide for the more efficient govern ment of the rebel Stales, and the act sup plementary thereto, passed March 23, 1867 ; also, copies of allopinions given to him by tho Attorney-General of the Uni ted Stales, touching the construction and interpretation of said acts, and of all-cor respondence relating to the operation, construction, or execution of said acta that may have taken place between him self and any of said commanders, or be tween him and the General of the armj*. or between the latter and any of the said commanders, touching the same subjects;* also, copies, of all orders issued by any of said commanders in carrying out the provisions of said acts, or cither of them; also, that he inform tho Senate what pro gress has been, made in the matter of registration under said acts, and wheth er the sum of money heretofore appro priated for carrying them out is probably sufficient. In answer to that portion of the resolu tion which inquires whether the sum of money heretofore appropriated to carry these acts into effect is probably sufficient, reference is made to the accompanying re port of the Secretary of War, It will be seen by that report that the appropriation of $500,000 nuclein theactappoved March 80, 3807, for the purpose of carrying into effect the act to provide for the more effi cientgovernmentofthe rebel States, pass ed March 3,1807, and the act supplemen tary, passed March 23, 1867, has already been expended by the commanders of the general military districts, and that in ad dition the sura of $1,545,277 is required for present purposes. It is exceedingly difficult at the present time to estimate the probable expenses of carrying into full effect the two acts of March last, and the bill which passed the two houses of Congress on the 13th inst. If the existing governments of the ten States of the Union are to be deposed, and their entire machinery to be placed under the exclusive control and authority of the respective district commanders, nil the expenditures incident to the administra tion of such governments must necessa rily be inecurred by the Federal govern ment. It is believed, that in addition to tiie two million one hundred thousand dollars already expended or estimated for, the sum which will be required for the purpose, would not bo loss than four teen millions of dollars. ... The aggregate amount expended prior to the rebellion in the administration of these respective governments by tlio ten .States embraced in the provision of these acts, the sum would no doubt be consid erably augmented if the machinery of these States is to be operated by the Fed eral government, and would tie largely increased if the United States, by abolish ing the existing State governments, should become responsible for liabilities incurred by them before the rebellion in laudable efforts to develop their resources, and in uo wise created for insurrectionary or revolutionary purposes. The debts-of these States, thus iegiti tnate|y incurred, when accurately ascer tained,'will, it is believed, approximate a hundred millions of dollars, and they are held not only by our own citizens, among whom arc residents of portions of the country which have over remained loyal to the Union, but by persons who are the subjects of foreign governments. It is worthy the consideration of Con gress and the country whether, if the Federal government, by action, were to assume such obligations, so large an ad dition to our public expenditures would not seriously impair the credit of the na tion ; or, on the other hand, whether the refusal of Congress to guarantee the pay ment of the debts of these States, after having displaced or abolished their State governments, would not be viewed as a violation of good faith and a repudiation by the National Legislature of liabilities which these States had justly and legallv incurred. . ° J (tjigued) Andrew Johnson.

Correspondence American Volunteer. Washington, July is. ISC7. The refusal lo admit the Congressmen who wore elected from Kentucky by such an over whelming majority Is .a most high handed out* rage. Thq Hndlcals Imvo Just as much right lo exclude any one of tho Pennsylvania delegation. Tho stand lu precisely the same situa tion. KeWuoky ncversecedcd any more limn did Pennsylvania. -The rights of the people to chose their own representations are precisely the same as ours. There is not the slightest difference In any respect, so for as the rights of. the members elect, tho rights of their constituents and the re quirements of the Constitution are concerned.— The majority can arbitrarily refuse to odralt the members of any Northern Stale with equal pro priety, and the time may not bo far distant when that will be attempted. It may bo that within five years tho Radicals will find themselves de pendent upon Congressmen elected by the ne groes of the South for a majority. When they uro placed in such ft position, as wo believe they will speedily bo, If their present system of rule is continued, they will not scruple to refuse admis sion to-suats In Congress of delegates duly elect ed from other Slates than Kentucky. The right Ls the same, and It will bejuatnaeasy to plead necessity as It is to-day, or as it was at any peri od during tho war. We may yet see the majority of white voters of the great middle Slates disfranchised by a com bination of Now England Yankees with Negro Congressmen from the military districts of tho South. Tho Radicals have already perpetrated outrages equally as gross as ffiat would be; and havo been encouraged to do so by the quiet sub mission of n people who soom to have lost the splrltof freemen. Tho Kentucky delegatUm may ull be admitted, oven during the present session; but not until the Radicals have made tbclr point by assorting their power and putting-forward their claim of right, as they have already clone.— Does any one suppose a single one of these Ken tucky delegates would ever bo permitted to take a sent if his presence would destroy tho domi nance of those who now rule the country through tho agency of the despotism they have set up?— Let their repealed displacement of Democrats fairly and honestly elected, and their utter refu sal to admit any but extreme Radicals from the South answer. * The House of Representatives, on Monday, at tho Instance of General Butler, passed a resolu tion providing for the appointment of a select committee of five members, to inquire Into the particulars of the assassination of President Lin coln, with power to send for persons and papers, and to report a bill granting amnesty andpardon to such persons as map have been connected with that assassination, and who may testify against others. — ■This portion of tho resolution was so bad that even Bingham, of Ohio, voted against It. Tho whole tenor and scope of tho movement Is to rake up testimony, if possible, connecting, orattempt ing to connect, certain high officials with this crime of assassination, or in other words, It isalm ply an attempt to suborn witnesses to swear that President Johnson and ono or two others bad something to do with It. The Ashioy-Conover Impeachment Commit tee had Horace Greeley before them, answer ing questions, a week ago. They made noth ing out of him. Ho testified that ho had never had any conversation with President Johnson about tho release of Jefferson Da vis, nor with any member of the Cabinet. He did not then and docs not now know -what Inten tions tho Government had or have;ln regard to tho trial of Davla. Ho called on Mr. Speed with’ Mr. Shea, Davis’ counsel, but, found Speed non-committal. He w.ts .advised by no ono to ball Davis—did it on his own volition, because he thought tho time for trial had passed by. Ho was appealed to by Wade, Chandler, and others not to do It, because iLwouldinJure their party. The only grounds of objection were on the score of party—no principle was stated In tho matter by any ono who advised him not to ball Davis. He never had any communication with the Presi dent or any of his officers in regard to Ills course. Such, in substance, wore hls replies to tho numer ous questions asked him. In this Instance, as In every other, tho committee made only a “ water haul.” The success of these patient Investigators never Justifies their pertinacity except when a Jail-bird is brougnt into tho witness box. They should, hereafter, confine themselves exclusive ly to the Sanford Conover class of witnesses, Tho Senate and the House have each passed a supplementary reconstruction bill, and have ap • pointed a Committee of Conference to reconcile the differences or “ cook up” some entirely new measure. This bill tvill in substance declare all tho Southern State-Governments overthrown— will give the satraps unlimited power in every thing—will make tho solemn oath of a voter of no account unless tho boards of registration see fit to believe it—will deny to all Courts, both State and Federal, authority to act against any milita ry ofllcor—and will prohibit tho removal of any of the satraps,- except with the . consent of the Rump. It is decidedly tho most glaring piece of usurpation yet broached. Under it they will have no law at all at the South. Tho will of the military commanders is to bo ‘‘the supreme law of tho laud.” Speaking of tho first ” Reconstruc tion” bill, Hon. Robert J. Walker, himself a zeal ous and offoctlvc.supporter of the war, said In an argument before tho Supremo Court: ”1 have gone through Egypt, Syria, Turkey In Asia and Turkey in Europe, and thousands of miles In Russia, and there was no sjich despotism In Af rica, or Asia, or Turkey, Or Russia os that which was established by these acts. They all had Courts of some description, and allowed a hoar- ing and opportunity of defence. sword was not tho only arbiter, but bero an act of Congress swept ten States out of existence, reduced to a worse than territorial bondage, and subjected ev ery one of them-rton million people, of all ages sexes, and color—to the despotic will of a milita ry commander.” Applicable as this language, was to the first bill, it might be applied with ten fold force to the measures now before Congress. It would bo well for tho people of the North to Inquire how long such astato of affairs can con tinue. Do they believe that ten States of the Union can be converted into military provinces —the people denied all civil rights, refused rep resentation and the privilege oi appealing to civ il tribunals when their persons are assaulted or their 'property taken nwny—do they believe that all this can be done in ten States of the Union and yet the Just constitutional rights of the other Stales and the people thereof remain unimpair ed ? Do they believe that u dead body can be tied to a live one. without the Jiving being corrupted by the dead? Over tho North Congress has the same control, and uo more, thnt it has over tho South. It has a Radical majority ready for tho most extravagant, schemes of revolution and wrong; it has tho two-third vote to pass any measure over tho Presidential veto. It has the same power of working its will upon the North that It has upon tho South; and if tho North con tinue to be supine IU day will come. Right and wrong apply to North and South alike. There is no ono divine rule for one section and a contrary rule for another section. When will tho people of the North have their eyes opened to tho tre mendous danger suspended by a thread over lliolr heads? Can they not see that those who have been plotting evil against tho South, are now plotting evil against tho North? Surely there are sufficient warnings in tho action of the Radical party to satisfy the people of tho North that their rights will bo no more respected than have been those of the South, when they stand In the road of partisan advancement. The Con stitution, broken in tho South, will bo powerless to shield from Invasion tho liberties of the North. The same men who .raised the negro to fall pollU leal equality in ono portion of the Union, are now preparing to do so throughout the entire Union When, therefore,.the* people contemplate tho de structlon of civil law and constitutional right in tho South, they should remember that the North may soon have to foco tho same experience.- There was an amusing little scene in the House, on Thursday : evenlng. from which it will be seen that “ Vienna" Schonck had taken a little too much of his namesake’s celebrated “Seaweed tonic, ’or somebody else’s tonic. In a discussion between Bingham and Bchenck, the following colloquy occurred: Mr. BiifOHAii* remarked that ho excused his colleague, for he was not-himself to-night.— (Laughter.) Mr. Bchenck did not know what his colleague meant by that remark, but ho (Mr. Schonck) was bettor satisfied to bo what ho was than to be so eggreglously mistaken as his colleague was In forgetting his very offensive manner. Mr. Bingham declared that he was incapable of misapprehending Uls colleague, but he know ho was not himself to-night. Mr. Stevens (Pa.) expressed the hope that the reporters would omit anything said, to-night about any member being drunk. (Laughter.) ’ ThoSurratt trial' continues-to drag its-*slow ' length along. The defense opened on Saturday, the,6th. -Thus far they have shown that it waa not Surratt who eaUed the time Ih front of Ford’s - - theatre on'the night of the assassination - but one of the theatre folks, and hod nothing what ever to do with the conspiracy. They hove pro ven by four respectable , witnesses that Surratt was In northern New York on the day of the as sassination and .the. day aftCr-lt. They have shown that UiShandkerchief fohidatst. Albans was not dropped by Surratt, butbyagovemment deteoUvo. and that Slantbh and Holt were aware £* this fact, but had permitted the evidence to be given forthe purpose of convicting Snrrattand clearing themselves' of the murder of Mrs Sur. r F t - Bradley stated In his opening that In addition to what has been given the defense pro pose to “ show the agreement between the con.
