THE CONGRESSIONAL OATH.
T b e ii flowing paragraph is from the Rich-
Republic, now one of the ablest and
o i F ( bolarly, as well as one of the most
:Iloilo. journals in the Union :
t-w York News maintains, in an elabo.
le, that the test oath for members of
„,raV5 will not be enforced. There is not a
!;' e r virgin's that bolds the same views.
. v re are on the eve of an election which is
dccid€: our fate, with the whole public press
contil-q; the efforts of this journal to save
prom the deplorable calamities which

The oath in question was taken by every
~:r:1;c:r of the last Congress, in both
.oases, with, we believe, the exception of
:der BAYARD, of Delaware, who though
himself perfectly free to swear it,
.:med his seat rather than do so. A few
ago .some of the citizens of Virginia
igt:a the President's advice and opinion on
subject, and he replied, through At

ading them to elect none but men. who
1 1 1 1 take and respect the oath. The
!Tice of - the New York News is properly
. ;,ouneed as dangerous by the Rich
”Ja Republic. There are some doubts
ather Congress will admit even the best
ca that may be elected from the late se-
Slates. Why, then, should the efforts

fact furnishes the answer to the question.
To say that such men—and it is no fault of
theirs, it is simply their misfortune, and the
crime of this nation—to say that such men,
just emerging from this slavery, are qualified
for the exercise of political power, is to make
the strongest pro•slavery argument I ever heard.
It is to pay the highest compliment to the inatitte.
'lion of slavery.
"What hasbeen our practice for manyyears?
We have invariably described slavery as de
grading, both to the body and the SOUL 'We
have described it as bringing human beings
down to the level of the beasts of the field. We
have described it as a crime, depriving the
slaves of intellectual and moral culture, and
of all the gifts which God has made the most
precious. If we shall now turn round and say
that this institution has been a blessing to the
negro instead of a curse; that it has qualified
him for the right of suffrage and the exercise
of political power, we shall stultify ourselves and
give the lie to those declarations upon which we
have obtained political power."

A Convention of the Southern gtoteti.
Tc-clay's Richmond Whig says: Some of our
Southern contemporaries, growing impatient

so decisive a character as to leave no possibili

full force.
The Work on the Capitol Extension.
The published statement that the work upon

THE TRIM OF WIRZ.
The Defence Endeavor to Prove Pre.
violas Good Character of the Prisoner
Prior to his taking Command at An.
dersonville—His Counsel Ask Tor
Eight Days' Adjournment—lt is not
Granted.
WAsnriforon, Oct. 3.—Joseph Thnringer, 18th
veteran Reserve Corps, testified that from De
cember 2 t l, 1861, to March 4,1862, he was a pri
soner at wusesioesa, Alabama - there were five
hundred prisoners there undercharge .Of Wirz,
who was at that time a sergeant.
Mr. Schade said he was going to show by this
Witness that Wirz, at that place received seven
or eight hundred - dollars in gold franc the pri.
smels, the witness being one of thera,.and that
they were permitted to draw money fromtime
to time, and the balance returned to• them
without any reduction whatever.
Judge Advocate Chipman supposed. , the
counsel proposed to prove good reputation,
but such a defence was an improper one: A
man may be honest up to twenty-four hours
of the time that be may meditate murder.
Good character can be shaken only by genera
reputation. The offences charged occurred at
Andersonville, and noprior conduct could be
admitted. He repeated, particular acts cord&
not be offered lo show good reputation. Wirri.
might have committed few kind acts, but also
ninety-six cruel ones.
Mr. Schade said. the - prisoner was charged
with high crime,. and. therefore it was neces
sary to show that the defendant was a good
man four years ago;-While NI charge of a pri
son at Tuscaloosa.
The witness then, in- reply to the question—
" Are you acquainted with. the character of
Captain Wirz for huidahity and kindness?"
said he knew nothing. shout it ; never even
heard any particular remarks on the subject.
Mr. Schade said that, when the prosecution
closed and the defence was aboutto commence,
the counsel for the prisonerasked that there
be an adjournment for eight days, in order
that they might make the - requisite prepara
tion. He now asked that tho'Commission ad
journ until to-morrow week:- This was neces
sary, in order to do justice to the prisoner, as
wen as to themselves. With , view to save
expense they had discharged several witnesses
whose

racter which had
Byan adjournment the Government vforddnot
be the loser, for they would be able to finish
the trial much sooner.
The court. We understand you have witness
es in the city.
Schade. We have.
The court. Then go on.
111 r. Schade. We will have to wait till thewit
nesses come.
Judge Advocate Chipman. The coutt is not
responsible for the delay of witnesses. He
knew from experience that preliminary ex
amination of witnesses could progress at the
rate of twenty-five a day.
Every adjournment of the court had 'been
of as much benefit to the defence as to the
prosecution, Some of the witnesses for the
afence bad been here, more than a month, and
every power which the Governmentpossessed
had been employed to enable the defendant to
bring them hither. lie took occasion to , say
that certainparties mentioned in the news
papers (meaning Generals Lee and Johnson,
and others), had not been subpoenaed, but he
had been informed that application would be
made to bring them into court. The prosecu
tion had been more than usually liberaiOn
eluding the furnishing to the counsel for the
defence a copy of the daily record. There•be
ing two gentlemen engaged as Counsel, one of
them could devote his time to the prelimi
nary examination of these witnesses, while
the other could be in constant attendancein
court. The record showed that every indul
gence had been granted to counsel both with
and outside of the law.
Schade alluded to the fact that the re
cord for the prosecution occupied three thou
sand five hundred and eighty pages, nearly,
twenty-nine hundred of which are devoted to
the prosecution. It was, therefore, necessary
the defence should have time to preliminarily
examine witnesses on the many points in.
volved in so large a mass of testimony.
Several members of the court expreSsed
themselves to the effect that ample time had
already been given.
The court, after deliberating with closed
doors, informed Mr. Schade that they under--
stood seventeen witnesses for the defence
were now in the city, exclusive of those who
had been examined and discharged, and under
these eiretunstances the court were of the
opinion the counsel must go on until the ex
amination of these seventeen witnesses was
exhausted. If not the court would take the
Mattel:into their own hands, and assign the
Judge Advocate to the examination of these
witnesses.
Schade remarked he could not say any
thing until he consulted his colleague.
The court. It is his duty to be here. As he
knows the hours of business the court cannot
wait on him.
None of the witnesses being in attendance,
excepting an Italian, who could not speak to
be understood, they were sent after, the court
declaring a recess of half an hour to await
their coming. Mr, Baker, after whom an or
derly had been despatched, arrived during the
recess.
On reassembling, Mr. Baker said that when
the defence commenced they had witnesses
who badpreviously been privately examined.
Their testimony was of Ruch a Character that
they were able to go on thus far. The court
yesterday could not fail to see the difficulties
under which they labored. The most im
portant witnesses had yet to be called for the
defence. They could not put them upon the
stand until they go over and, arrange their tes
timony. It could not be expected that the
witnesses should be examined at random. A
reasonable time should therefore be allowed
this morning. Re suggested to his associate
that he was trying to obtain en assistant who
should come into court and assist him in the
examination of witnesses, while he (Mr. Baker)
would remain at his office and prepare for the
testimony in the form of questions.
Major General Wallace said that in civil
courts nothing was more Common than to con
tinue cases, but it was not thought that any
eases could 'be found by which time was given
to counsel to arrange questions and answers
of witnesses. He thought the decision of the
court to-day was right.
Mr. Baker. t did not hear the ruling of the
court, being absent.
General Wallace directed the ruling to be
read for Mr. Baker's information.
Mr. Baker said that if it came to the point
that he must go on without knowing to what
the witness would testify, he must give up the
Cake. Re had bestowed much labor upon it,
and was still willing to do all in his power for
his client.
After further conversation the room. was
cleared for deliberation, and when the doors
were opened at fifteen minutes of the usual
hour of adjournment, General Wallace said,
to facilitate your labors, Mr. Baker. the Court
will transact no further business to-day, and
will adjourn till ten o'clock to-rnorrow morn
ing. The Court accordingly adjourned.

THE THEATRES OF NEW YORK.
NOW BENNETT, OA THE HERALD, RAS BEEN 'MEAT.
ING MANAGERS RISE IN REBEL
LION AND ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS-ALL ADIER.
E=Z=!
Bennett, of the Herald, has at last been out
short in his black-mailing operations on the
New York theatres. The managers of the lat
ter have rebelled against his extortions, and
have boldly thrown down the guantlet. The
World thus sketches the whole affair
Eleven musical and theatrical managers
have withdrawn their patronage from the
Herald. They are as follows : Max Maretzek,
director of the Italian opera: J. Lester Wel•
lack, proprietor of Wallaers Theatre; William
Stuart, lessee and manager of Winter Gar._
den ; William Wheatley, lessee and manager
of l•fible , a Garden ; P. T. Barnum, proprietor
of Barnum% Museum ; G. L. Fox, lessee and
manager of the ;Old Bowery Theatre;. G. W.
Lin_gard, lessee and manager of the Newßowe
ry Theatre ; Daniel and Neil Bryant, pro_prie•
tors of Bryant's Minstrels, Mechanics' Hall;
Henry Wood proprietor of Wood's Minstrel
Hall; Mrs. JOhn. Wood, manageress of the
Olympic Theatre. These constitute the "Mana
gers, Union " of the city of New York, which
romeaents full four-fifths of the regular-amuse
merit business done here.
THE MANAGEBS'
The Managers' Union is an institution or
ganized about a year ago, for the purpose of
promoting* harmony among occasional Con
flicting interests, keeping alive the natural
esprit du corm, discussing questfona of policy
and economy in the management of business,
and fostering a spirit of amity' between emu
. petitors In the same Bold. As previously
statednumbers eleven members, represent.
ing, with but two or three exceptions, all the
leading places of public amusement.
THE HERALD'S SYSTEM. Or COVERT' DLACIGMAIL.
It is estimated that the total sumrealized to
tbaproprietor of the Herald fromthe different
opera-houses theatres museums, circuses,
and shows fall kindsduring the past twenty
or twenty-five years, cannot be- less than two
million dollars, of which amount, at its heavy
charges, sixty or seventy per sent. at least,
has been clear profit.
The rule enforced with regard tomanagere
of all amusements was (it is obsolete now) to
compel the insertion of their aievertieentents
in the columns of the Herald, at rates always
hig,her, and sometimes double and.treble those
of the able and influential journals. Second.
Whatever black printing they required in the
way of posters, band-bills, or houeohills, had
to be procured at the job-office of the Hsrald,
where the scale of charges was invariably from
'about thirty to forty and fifty per cent. higher
than that of the best printers elsewhere in the
city. When these two conditions were corn
plied with the advertiser considered himself
entitled to have his place of entertainment
noticed in the editorial portions-of the. paper.
Sometimes this boon was granted, and some
times net. If the Herald people. chanced to
discover that a theatrical advertiser had be.
stowed upon The World, the MUM, or the Tri
bune, the same advertisement which had been
Ordered in the Herald, it not unfrequently
happened that the ti critical • notices, Or the
"puffs unique," were discontinued. Occa
sionally, as an act of revenge for .his temerity,
the manager would find his advertisement
printed twice in the same column. of the
Herald, and receive a bill for the unlooked-for
double allowance.
Now and then the proprietor of. some leading
theatre would discover, afterpatiently wading
through the partially bogus columns of gene
ral advertisements, that his regular announce
meat had been omitted. On• Calling at the
office for an explanation, he would be in
formed • that "Mr. Bennett declined to ad
vartise the performances of Edwin Per
rat "—for reasons with whichthe people are
probably well acquainted.
some folks have suffered worse . than this,
however, in having to accept and produce
plays offered by "the Herald critic," and
claimed as original, and for which.he insisted
on being paid at the standard rateper
while the pieces were drawing.empty benches
with a success pever before dreamed of by the
manager most experienced misfortune.
For a year or two past.. fourteen places of
amusement have been obliged: to pay the
average Sum of three hundred dollars a week
each, m this manner, which gives a total of
four thousand and two hundred dollars per
week as the lowest estimate of the- Iferaid re
ceipts from this line of business. or an annual
revenue of nearly two hundred and tweets
thousand dollars, of which.amountthe setae!
prat has been unquestionably upwards of one
hmidred and thirty thousand dollars,
When the Playbill was. first issue ~less than
a year ago, opposition to -its- circulation was
manifested to a great extent.. The Herald pro
prietor printed the little. Seandal , Sheet, and
tried to force all his theatrical advertisers
to take it instead of the- Programme, then the
housebill in vogue. The object was to make
this penny sheet a whipper-in of patrons to j
the ob-Ofnee, and for. awhile the test of per
formances, of ad kinds, Nes discovered by the
number of subscriptions for the. playbill, which
any manager saw fit to offer: It was, however,
a failure froxn.the start.. The-owner must have
song moon, or twenty thousand dollars on it.
Its weekly edition was, discontinued long agO.
The evening publication was " ,1 by
Bennett, on Friday, as Boons/Am was informed
that the managers. had determined to with
draw all patronage from, his establishment,
but before he had,been oßinially notified of the
fact.
HOW TEM.BEROVX - OinGINATBEN.
Mr. Barnum stated at &recent meeting that
his advertisements bad been peremptorily re
fused by the...Verald, and. that, no explanation
could be obtain' eft. A.S. is well known, the an
nouncement& 0, the Italian optima biksl p,lso
been refused, insertion this season in the
Herald. Whenever. Mn.. Forrest played at
Niblo's Gardeu, Mr. Wheetlera regular adver
tisements of s ins performances were carefully
excluded from the sgne sheet. The managers
concluded, that they would like, 40 know On
what groups, if any,3slr. Bennett undertook
to dictate when wad what they should adver-.
the in kl&paues., aeciltrdingly a committee,.
consisting_ of Messrs. Stuart,, Wheatley, end.
Wallaeg, was appointed to. ask Mr. Ben
nett why. Mr. Barnum's announcements
had been suppressed. The committee went
about their errand in an affable way, but
put the question straight. Mr. Bennettas Ana
swer was neither Chesterneadian nor Wileof
flan. lie Gentlemea,l mean to conduct
my own business in my own way. If I choose
to throw out your advertisement to-niglit, Mr.
Wanack, I shall do it, and shall net tBIL you
why Ido except that I choose to do At.” . lie
thenput on a bold front, and stated,that he
would - throw up all the theatrical bueiness, as
it was a nuisance and a source of perpetual—
but, remembering the Job office, he quickly
softened his manner, and dismissed the gen
tlemen.
The result of the interview being drily re
: ported at the next meeting of the managers,
it was unanimously resolved tbatc Mr. Bennett
had a perfect right "to conduct. his own busi
ness in his own way," and tbaathe managers
bad, moreover, exactly the same right to
"conduct their own business ia,their own way."
In view of which it was =ram resolved that
after the 30th day of Septerelice—the meeting
was held on the Seth—all their subscriptions
to the Herald's Playbill should cease, all their
printing should be withdrawn from the Herald
job office, and all their advertisements from.
the Herald columns.
Fs , Getting wind of the shape, things had taken,
Dir. Bennett anticipated, their action, and on
Friday night suppressed all their advertise
ments with the exception of Mr. Wallach's,
which appeared as - mural in the Herald on
Saturday and Sunday ; against Wallaek's
wishes, and without s - knowledge previous
to publication. Bye thi course Bennettsought
to make it appear, that the action of the mana
gers was not unanimous. The performances
at Wallack's and at the Winter Garden were
also criticised in yeaterclay's, Herald for the
same obvious intent.
THE REVAT A DEATH-BLOW TO THE HERALD.
What little prestige the ..fferald ever had is
now Celiepletely dimmed by this effective ac
tion s( the theatres. AS main source of in.
come is in a moment dried up, and a general,
retrenchment of expenses in all its depart
ments will have to follow, in order to help
to make both endsmoet.
The employees of the Job office were StrinMEt ,
ray discharged early Saturday morning.
The .geraiff of Monday contains an ttitto,
. .
rial on the subject, but does not attempt to
answer the charges that have been preferred
against it. Idr. Bennett says that the MEMO,
gees' association is intended to keep down the
actors and orchestra players, and control
their salaries. This he fought against, and
that was one of his offences. Bennett says he
does not care about their advertisements, but
he will not have any of their interference, as
ho is fully competent to attend to his own
business.
The Herald of yesterday again makes fun of
the whole affair, saying that if the combina
tions against it were ten times stronger it
would not influence that journal to change itS
Manion. It boasts that it defeated more im
perions and powerful organizations than the
managers, and that it will soon dispose of the
latter in the same manner. It concludes as
follows
" Thanks to the pub] ic, we Can afford to laugh
at the impotent efforts of these ingrates to
injure ,us ; for our benevolent disposition
will not suffer us to be Seriously angry
at gnats that buzz but Cannot, sting.
This tempest in a teapot—or rather in a
glass of lager beer—may serve for a while
to amuse our readers, but it will soon
blow over, and then the question will
arise, not in regard to the withdrawal of the
advertisements, but whether or not we shall
allow them to be returned. In the meantime
the patrons of this journal will not be de
prived of the liberal and independent criti
cisms upon amusements generally to which
they have become accustomed, nor of any in
formation in regard to the opera and the the
atres which we deem of interest to the public.
The withdrawal of the advertisements is,
therefore, of no consequence to the public or
to us, and the jackals of the other papers are
welcome to divide among them the stuff that
we disdain.
The people seem to enjoy the 'whole matter
very much, and show by their attendance on
the places of amusement that they sympa.
thize in the rebellion of the managers. On
Monday every place of amusement was crowd
ed, especially the opera, which has more than
any other place suffered from the blackmail.

LECTURE BY MISS ANNA E.
DICKINSON.
ME RECORD OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,
The Academy of Music was crowded last
evening with an intelligent and appreciative
audience to listen to the new lecture by Miss
Anna E. Dickinson, upon the "Record of the
Democratic Party."
Soon after eight o'clock, George Inman
Riche tad the speaker forward, and in a few
words introduced her to the audience. She
was received with applause.
Sbe said c The Democratic party, convicted
by the testimony of its own witnesses, axe
anted at the polls by the ballots of a loyal
people, and culminating is a God and liberty
defying Confederacy, stilt lives to drag - a slow
existence: It grumbles from its grave, as the
effete leaders still try to ganvenise it into new
life.
One thought was left to -as, to hope that it
would give up the ghost decently and peace
fully and nee disgust a loyal and law-abiding
people - with the loathsome spectacle of decay.
The Constitution has been quoted by the
Democratic party. : Their convention cited
this document, bat it was like the devilquoting
Scripture. [Laughter.] They talk a great
deal about justice,.but ifjusticelad been done
to Mee people,. that convention would not
have been held. [Langliter.]
Theyspay that the Constitution has been per.
reflect; and that the party in power E are
brought ruin on the country. But the Govern
ment, attacked in the front by the foe, and in
the tear by the bullet of the assassin, through
the anguish of death this same party has
marched on triumphantly to the close of lk
war which haft made us a Government and
Union indeed—not by defeating the rebel
hordes, but by sweeping away the barrier
which, until-then, had made US a.divided peo
ple. [Applause.]
They want justice. But the party they so
denounce has built the American Govern
ment, the broad basis of universal freedom.
It has done• its duty in calling out the army to
execute the laws. .All.the requirements of the
Constitution have been fully and faithfully
carried out by tile party now in power. And
yet the Democratic party complain that that
instrument has been violated, and the liberty
of the country endangered if not destroyed.
As the generations look backward-on the night
Of *despair, tAtt began to darken over the-land
On the 14th of April, VOL they will bless. the
party that secured the blessings of liberty for
them and for all coming . time. The party in
power shoulddift up its hands and rejoice that
they are considered worthy of condemnation
from that party. [Applame..] It was not the
Women-whippers, the men-branders, the child
stealers that were denounced. The Democratic
party of Pennsylvania had no word of con
demnation for them.; noword of denunciation
for traitors ; no justice for the two hundred
thousand of black soldiers who fought on the
battle-field that these traitorous Democrats
might stay in peace at home. They had no
word of justice for the- late Administration.
The Democracy - has the- effronteryto declare
that they are still in favor of the Union, and
that if their counsels had prevailed there
would have been no disruption of the Union.
But do they remember the words of Henry A.
Wise, who said .that slavery was the natural
Condition of the laboring man? or the threat
of Robert Toombs- who threatened to call the
roll of his slaves on Bunker Hill ? Does that
party remember it set up slavery above the
Union ; that slavery must be protected, or
the Union should dissolved? And
yet they say that they have always
been in Amor of the Union. Do they
not remember the words of the Democratic
leaders in the Charleston convention 1 Their
deliberate confession was that they had the
doctrine of secession in contemplation for
more than a quarter of a century, and that for
that time their whole mental power was given
to destroy the Union. Their Northern mouth
piece, Jesse D. Bright, said that he regarded
their'principles as national.
Who was it that refused to reinforce Fort
SUMpter ; and made a treasonable agreement
with traitors, and said the Government had no
constitutional power to prevent a State from
seceding? Who- asked us to say amen to the
dismemberment of the Union? Who said that
the Government had DO authority to assert its
integrity, and theta the Constitution provided
for its own overthrow? It was James Bucha
nan, President of the United States, sworn to
obey that Constitution about which they are
so solicitous; Chief of a party " which always
upheld the Government, anddeeounced seces
sion." [Laughter.' Jeremiah Black, one of our
super-loyal men, who declared that troops of
the United States could not legally put down
traitors. It was John B. Floyd, the Secretary
of. War, who did his best to cripple the Go
vernment, so that it could not protect itself,
who sent arms slid ammunition to the South
ern arsenals that it might the ' more easily
make the attempt to overthrow the Govern
ment; it was Isaac Toucey, not a Southerner,
but worse than that, aNorthern Democrat,
who gent Way ftereirty out of the seventy-two
vessels of the navy that they might not be
used to defend the country; and of this same
super-loyal Democratic party there were thir
teen Senators and twenty-six Representatives
who abandoned the council halls of the Go
vern to take up arms against the
Unio ' The least said of them the better
fort it reputation. [Laughter.] The De
mocratie Mayor of New York officially
advocated the secession of New York city from
the State and United gtates, and that she Pia
hand and hand with the South. It was another
solicitous Democrat, Judge atioodward, who,
on the thirteenth of December,lB6o, said, "Let
South. Carolina go peaceably, go out of the
Union R'' and in August, 1653, the Democratic
State Convention eat the seal of their apPrO•
val. upon it. it was Ex President Franklin
Pierce who said, writing to Jefferson Davis,
" The light will not be along Mason and Dixon's
line,,but within our own borders, and in our
own streets."
At a meeting 9f Democrats in National Hall
In this city, on the kith of Jaiiiiary, NM, they
presented resolutions declaring that the time
bad come for Pennsylvania to declare with

fanatics of the North and East, "or with our
brethren of the South, whose wrongs we feel
as our own," and cordially approving the dis
avowal of President Buchanan of riaWng war
open the States, which were carried with tn-
anuituous applailde.
George ii. Pendleton, their candidate for tile .
Vice Presidency, said : "Let the seceding States .
depart in peace, from their Government mid,
empire, and "work out their destiny. " Their:
convention at Harrisburg paned resolutiens
pledging the party to.discounteaance in every
way anyearmed aggression upon the Southern
States. .
Ex-Governor Rodman, of New Jerseys said
" that that State ought to go with the South."
He said "that the streets af, its citieftehould
run with blood ere a national army. should
leave it to attempt to subjugate the Southern
people."
This was the record of the Demoaratic.par
ty. This was their boasted loyalty: Without
the election of Abraham, Lincoln there would
have been no cause for aebellion. The Demo
cratic party was divided with this view They

Then we may look at their. conduct through

against the law for' blockading rebelports,
and the law to prohibit and prevent infOrmaq

Such has been their record throllaltPut tl

THREE CENTS.
James Wall, of Now Jersey, declared himself
in favor of an immediate cessation of hostili
ties. An insignificant member of the Phil&
delphia bar said that he could not rejoice at a
victory over his brethren. Others of the
same party had declared that recognition of l•
the South was the only way to haye peace
They refused to expel from theinatiOnnh
council balls the openmouthed advocates of
treasonv and thus they signified their ap- '
proval of the sentiments set forth by these
men. This was not enough even. The lackeys'
Of the South have been crying aloud for a
'peace conference—a cessation of hostilities in
the midst of a campaign; they wanted an
armistice, which could only have ended in
the success of the rebellion. They would
have made terms with traitors. They were
Very"amble," as said Uriah troop. Their
platform adopted at Chicago was the vary
thing desired by the rebels, for their highest

of November last, voted for Gen. McClellan,
voted for the disgrace of the flag and the dis
memberment of the Republic, &Matt/Dad
It was thatparty that demanded the forma
tion of a Northwestern Confederacy, and that
New England should be let out in the cold. It
was that party that oranized a secret oath
bound traitorous organization with the death
penalty . for the betrayal of its secrets, with
the design of breaking up the Government
and to abduct its chief magistrate. They
were too cowardly to go and risk their lives
against Northern initiate • they preferred
to slink behind and hiss their treason
against the Government and the Union.
Once only was war inaugurated in the North,
and this was the terrible NeW York riots
which, as the Richmond Dispatch truly said;
was only the fruit of the Democratic peace
meeting. Then it was that Governor Sepholir
showed - his Demberatic loyalty. Where is the
criminal that perpetrated the unsurpassed
crime which made all humanity shudder]
Whence did the assassin draw,his inspiration
for this iniquitous deed? Remember it, and
write it foryour children, that it may never be
forgotten, that it is the Democraticarty of
the Northern States which stands guilty of the
murder of Abraham Lincoln. They heaped
obloquy upon him, calling him a Nero a
gorilla, a fool, a clown!, an ape, recommending
that his person be seized, as it hostage, One
even calling for his assassination. The blas
phemous account was too sickening to read
further. But the great and good man heeded
not their Calumny, but quietly worked out his
destiny and guided the Republic till he heard
the Master's " Comaup higher? and went to
reap the full fruition of his labor. John
Wilkes Booth was but the weak tool of the
Democratic party.
To.day the nation is redeemed and saved.
Look to it men of the North, that this party,
thesworn friend of despotism, the unrelenting
foe to liberty, never has an opportunity, by
power or place, to bring back that state of
affairs that once reigned in the land. Let no
protestations of the present deceive 'you. Just
now they are full of - blatant friendship for the
soldier. They are thanking him and cajoling
him, and asking him for their support. But it
is too late. But a shorttime ago they gave the
national defenders such pet names as Lincoln
thieves, hell-hounds, murderers, and viler
names, not to be repeated. In the New York
riots they murdered men whose only sin was
that they wore the uniform of the soldiers of
the Republic,
Let full justice be done to the soldiera who
have saved the country. Better a man at the
polls, leaning on his crutches, his black face
scarred with wounds, but made beautiful by
the tires of manhood, better this man than the
man standing erect, bearing no Sear en his
white face, but who bears within his bosom
the black and dastardly heart of a Northern
traitor. [Great applause.] The black men
who have risked their lives for the country
should be given a voice in the nation. They
helped to save the integrity of the eatuitry
they ended the rebellion, and it is meet that
they should take part in its Government. Let
vs finish" the brave work. It is no question
of politics, but of humanity, country and
usfice.
The speaker then retired amid loud and
tumultuous applause, and the vast audience
dispersed.
A Female Philadelphia Soldier Buried

2b the Editor of The Press :
Sin : During a recent visit to the stockade at
Florence, in this State, I found the grave of a
female from your city. Upon inquiry I learned
She was Drought there with a number of other
prisoners, but her sex was not discovered
until shortly beforo her death. She stated her
name to be Flonna Budworth, and that she
had - resided in Philadelphia. I could not learn
to what regiment she had belonged. Sheds
buried among the other victims of tebel
cruelty and starvation. Thinking perhaps she
may have some friends in the city, I take the
liberty of forwarding this.
Very respeotfully,

CROPS IN THE WEST.--21r. Greeley nttitts as•
follows from St. Paul (Sept. 25th) Of the crops.;
'Minnesota bas a bounteous crop of wheat,
and is now selling it for cash at prices ranging
from 75 cents t 041.0 5; according to the aceessi
bility of the point at which , it is marketed.
Western Wisconsin is likewise favored: I
bear the wheat crop of eachestimated at thirty
bushels per acre. The corn , crop is likewise
large and well ripened. With the return of
peace, I trust that a new era of growth and
thrift opens before all thizeragion. While- the
South is being renovated by the genius of free
labor, let the North keep at least even step
with her in a generous emulation which has
for its aim the greatness of our common coun
try and the well-being of all her people."
