A ixaierial differcrce, as jou will per
ceive. After I had leen around through the
ciunty 1 found that the people were r.ct
hslf so lad as repreente'. Instead of
that Liter being a eallfor troops, it was vir
tually asking for a reduction of ihe number
contemplated biingaont.
July 7, I3G3, I wrote for a mall force
to assist roe in arresting deciter. not
eitisens. This I admitted in my letter to
you. Then wliere ihe necessity of rrov'
ing what was not denied ? But it was al
most two years before the soldiers came.
August 5, 18C3, afier detailing the vari
ous stories in ciiculaiion, I close by say-1
ing "Nolwithsland'uig these reports ail
treat me kindly."
The r ext letter is such a miserable nbor
tion, as quoted, that none but a teo'tator
could have been father to it. What I
wro'e was as follows, at.d you can com
pare the two:
Cl R A FIELD, All. 11, 1SC1.
Col. II. S. Campldl :
Km : Several persons
have been asking me why tnere sre no

it expected of drafted men, and thofe de
pendent upon them. I wish ii cojld be
possible for you to visit ibis county befme
the draft : you could then appreciate bet
ter the diliculties attending it here. Mr.
Jiow. lh ed tor of ti e llni'tsmin. told me
that in Knox township the people think
that I am to serve iho notices, and ex ect
it toon 10 be done. That il.ey nmt have

The difficulties were felt ay all, not in
resistance lo, but a want of underbuild
ing the draft. That 1 did .iiot fear these
"sixty niea" vm evident from tuy asking
for only "twenty" to oppobo them, and
my read io ess io go without them.
But why was not . Ibis letter r ublithrd

Mr. Trjinbull. tf iIjo Senator from
Tennessee will allow me, aa he has dwlt
on that point, I will restate my position
in regard to that. I do insi.t that all
. mn urn r)i(ftrl rnii.-.l bit wliiM. t 1 1 nut
m thai all person, 'are o-nai in organ- !
ized soeiuty. The fact is an alutiart truth ;
but when we come to form giverntuenl
and organize society, all penoiu do not
hai e equal right. II ihe .'soualor from
Teur.ejtco denies lh.it propo'iiion, 1
would ask him, in the nUonco of all gov
(hey do not have the same political i ighta
in society. I understand that decinra
liou whicli 1 a been quoted from the Dec
laration of 1 1. dependence, and the same!
language in (he Illinois constitution, lo'
mean simply an asseition of the great
natural 1 1 u l Ii that all men ate created e
qual, lo hold that up belore the people of
'his country iliat everybody niy see it. ,
Now, wh.vti wa orgAuiK our r.oi.ty, w
will infringe as litMo on thai gre:il nat n r- (
al rii;hlai possi'ile; hut no goveromeni is

make a distinction between whites and
blacks; and we make a dist inei i ni be
tween the political rights of men and a'o
iiiimi, Whiie we di) that, we al nittlifl
gtea'. God-iveu tiuth that all are crea'ed
equal. 1
Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee. That is
the precise poiui al winch we c mio l" hs
cerlain thiise rights: it is when pnvern- ,
mnts ami socie:ie are to be forirird
Then e iai.se the question at once w heih
er this dfcription of individf.als it equal
io onolher debcriptioii of individuals.
The constitution of ihe Senator's own
Sia'e assumes that all members of the
white ritce, the tae for who'u they were
making and forming government, weio
equal, and created equal. An African
may be equal to his fellows in Ins own I
country, surrounded ly his own kind of
people, who are inferior to the white rce ;
but, bee ue he is transferred here, or
happens to bo boi ti on this com ini -lit. he
is not invested wiih the tame rights with
i lie of our lace ; lie is not cieaied equal
in the very tu'innmg. Tlio distinction
begins with the very germ itself. It de
pends entirely upn whete he i. bom.
L'ut I with to ask tho Sena'or a ques
tion. Assuming equality to Lotlioiule
in a natural slate wnereihoio is no law,
he assumes, Uten, tluit the black muni
createl with the ttne rights that the
white man is. Vou as unie that Ihe
power of the Federal (joverntiieu is sover
eign ovpr a Teir I iy. You now go into
a community where there ai e no whitei
established. Will yru, undrr this gwner
al idra ef liberty, and Ibis declaration
that all men ate created cquid, in the oi
gaidzation of your teiiitori.d goveit nient
under your sovereign power, make Ibe
negro equal to ihe white man ? Will the
Senntrr answer that ?
Mr. Ttumbull. lloes Ilia Senator de
sire lhat I should answer Jiim now?
Mr- Johnson. Cer'aiuly, if jou think
proper.
Mr Tiuoibull. I should bo governed
by Ihe eiicuiiistances of the eop'e. I
would not give lo the negro population
Ihe ssme jiolitical rights that I would to
the white population in every case. I do
not know that I would in any ea e
WIipii wo come to form our politic d
rights of the perso ,s who are to c. orup-ne
it, I am Pol prepared to say that 1 would
givo Ihe sntne political right either lo
females or to negroes that I would to tho
w bite male population. Under ordinary
circumstances certainly I should not be
in fiivor of such a proposition. ;
Mr. Johnson- Mr. 1're.sidunt. all that
I wani is, to get at the truth, and I want,
no fog or mystification uhooi i he subjaet. 1
lo not iitiderland me as assu ruing that .
Ihe Senator is intentionally ihro vina fog i
about it. rhe fiu msy tsnn my part,
not on his. Hot peihhps I can make my
proposition understood by a-kina another
quesiion. If, for instance, tho Territory
of Arizona wis colonized and filled up
with a free colored population altogether,

saturating, filling and surrounding the
dead body with spices, gum. and other
indestructible and preservative substan
ces, as is understood to have been the
process practiced by the ancienls. Such
however, is not the case. The modern
procoss is about as follows : Tho blood is
drawn ofT through the jugular vein. An
incision is then maJe upon the Inside of
tho thigh, through which a chemicalli
quid is injected by mechanical means.
This liquid permeates all the vein, and ar
teries, taking the place before occupied
by the blood, and in a short time renders
the body as hard as stone, and as rigid an
a statue. A portion of the scalp is remo
ved and the brain scooped out' The chest
is opened and the heart, lung's and visce
ra are abstracted. When ihe process is
completed, the body is reduced to a mere
empty shell, having only the outward
semblance of (he departed individual

following statement in reference to the
destruction of this intolerable pest to

In, the spring of 1860, 1 noticed lomeof
my plums punctured. Having succeeded
in catching the striped bug that is so in
jutious to melon vines by placing wool
ou the hills around. the young plants I
concluded to try it around myplum tree..
1 re.iioved the giass abut a foot around
the tree, placed trash wool on the cleared
ground, and wrapped around the fork, of
the tree. On looking the next day, I
found my trap had caught, a number of
the enemy,' they having become entang
led in the wool, J his tree produced a
beautiful crop, while the fruit on the oth
ers, within twenty f-iet of it, "came to
naught." In 1SG1 I treated part of the
others tho same way, with like result.
