DISEASE OF lIEDREDENGIL
When the misguided end imprudent votary of pleasure
ends that he has imbibed the seeds of this painful disease,
it we often happens that an tit-timed sense of shame, or
dread of discOvery, detenbtm from applying to those who,
from education and reepeetability, can eleae befriend him,
delaying till theconstitutional symptoms of this horrid die
ease maks their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat,
diseased nose, nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, dim
ness of sight, deafness, nodes on tee shin-bones and arms,
blotches on the head, fare anti extremities, progressing
with frightful ru r pidity, till at last the palate of the mouth
or the bones of the noes fell to, and the victim of this aw'
tut disease becomes a horrid object of oommlseration, till
death puts a period to his dreadful sufferings, by sending
him to that Undiscovered Country from whence no trav
eller returns."
It is a eaciancholy fact that thousands fall victims to
this terrible disease, owing to the unskillfulness of ignor
ant pretenders, who, by the use of that Deadly Poison.
Nereury, rain the constitution and make the residue of
life miserable.

WIFE AND I_
Wequarrerd tide morning, my wife and I,
We were out of temper, and scarce knew Why,
Though the cause wee trivial and common;
But to look In our eyes you'd have sworn that WO both
Were a couple of enemies spiteful and wroth—
Not a wodded man and woman.
Wile, like a tragedy queen in a play,
'reseed her sweet little head in as lofty a way
As CO little a woman was able;
She clenched her lips with a sneer and a frown,
While I, being rougher, stamped up and down,
Like a careless groom In a stable.
You'd have thought me the bitterest (seeing de then)
Of little women and little men,
Toed have laughed at oar spite and passion;
And would never have dreamed that a storm like this
Would be rainbow'd to tears b that sunlight, a kiss,
Till we talked In the old fond fashion.
Yet the storm was over in tees than an hour,
And wan followed noon by a sunny shower,
And that again by embraces;
Yet so little the meaning was understood
That we almost felt embanked to be good,
And wore a blush on our faces.
Then she, as a woman, mach brava became,
And tried to bear the whole weight of the blame,
By her kindness, her self-reproving;
When, see' g her humble, and knowing her true,
I all at once became bumble, too,
And very contrite and loving.
Bat, seeing I acted an humble part,
She laughed outright with a frolic heart—
A Multi as careleae as Cupid;
And the laughter wrangled along my bran,
Till I almost fell in a passion again,
And became quite stubborn and stupid.
And this was the time for her arms. to twine
Around this stabbornest neck of mine,
Like this arms of a maid 'rotted a lover;
had feeling them there, with their warmth, you know,
I laughed gait° a diffarant lamer; and to
The atom (as I. called it) was over.
So then we could talk with the power to please;
Lnd though the passing of storms like these
Leaves a certain toed feeility
Of getting easily angry again.
Tot theyfree the heart and rebuke the brain,
And teach us a rough humility.

SENATOR RUCKALEW
STATE OP THE COUNTRY.
The following admirable letter from the lion.
CHARLES It. BUONALEW, was addressed to the
Central Democratic Club of Philadelphia, in an
swer to an invitation to participate in the cele
bration of Washington's Birthday
To P. Ale Cam., Bsn , Chairman of Committee—
Dear Sir:—in response to your friendly invi
tation, I have to express some views upon
public topics, which may be submitted toyour
meeting on the 23d instant., And Ido this very
cheerfully, although I cannot know that any
words of mine will deepen popular conviction
upon the necessity of changing our rulers and
overthrowing their present policy, or gulden
popular zeal for the accomplishment of these im
portant objects.
A conviction that the country is misgoverned,
the war mismanaged, and liberty itself in peril,
is growing up in the public mind, and thousanos
are alert, inquisitive, and critical, who gave to
Government uncaiculating and enthusiastic cup
port, founded upon complete confidence, twelve
months ago. The day of blind, headlong passion,
and of confident, unquestioning trust in oar rul
ers, has passed, and the electoral duties of the
citizen will now be discharged with a more in.
selligent comprehension. than was possible in the
earlier months of the war.
The sure result of this will be to perfect the
political revolution in the North and West, begun
oy the hits elections, and to exclude the Repub
matt party, with its sectional passions, its fanat
teistn, its corruption, and its inaapaoity, perms
uently from power.
But can this be aco mplished in time to save
he country ? to preserve its unity and liberty ?
And if these vital objects can be secured, either
s ooner or inter, isy the restoration of the Demo
cratic party to power, upon what policy shall
that party act in their attainment? These ques
dons are timely and important enough to occupy
the space and leisure now at my command,
Complete control in the State Government can be
secured to our party iu October next. Control
of the Federal Government can be obtained by it
a year later, in the election of President, assum
ing that the renovation of Congress, now begun,
shall go on and be consummated by that time.
The time.here mentioned must elapse before
power cap' be completely lodged in safe hands;
before the work of reconstructing the Union, and
thoroughly reforming the Government, can be
performed. In the meantime, how much of
calami y must we undergo ? To what measure
of evil must we be subjected? The public debt
will be swollen enormously; a financial crash
may come, sweeping away private fortunes, and
crippling public credit and power; and it is not
impossible that in an hour of de..peration our
rulers may abandon the war, and place the bar
rier of a bad , treaty. or the impertinence of a
foreign mediation, in the way of re-Uhida Un
questionably, there are great dangers in the im
mediate future, and apprehension of evil is
timely, and justified by the events of the past
two years. But during this period of danger, of
trial, of peril—this interval which separates us
from the day of relief and security--what shall
be the attitude of our party toward the Adminis
;ration and the war? This question may reason
ably be asked by the thouiands in this State, and
by the thousands in other Slates who are willing
to join in and moist in the redemption of the
country.
The question may be answered, in part, by re
ferring to the past. The object of the war was
announced in the outset by a Resolution of
Congress, which went out North and South, and
to foreign countries, as the platform of the Go
vernment in its prosecution. That resolution
announced the object of the war to be, the de-
fence and maintenance of the supremacy of the
Constitution and the preservation of the Union,
with all the dignity, equality and rights of the
several States unimpaired, end explicitly denied
that it was waged in any spirit of oppression, or
for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or
purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the
rights or established institutions of the Southern
States.
This clear and emphatic resolution was ac
cepted and approved by the Democracy, by the
Border States, and by conservative men gener
ally, and thereupon all the magnificent resources
of the country in men and money were put at the
disposal of the Administration, for the proem—
guitto.

[VOL. XXIII.-NO. 46.-WHOLE NO. 1988.
tion of the war in accordance therewith, and it.
. . .
has had Command of thostrresourees unopposed
and almost unquestioned don to this hour.
But the time came when this ground, of a contest
for the supremacy of the Constitution and the
preservation of the Union, became, in the policy
of the Administration, connected with, if not su
bordinated to, another and different objeot. The
tinsel rhetoric of Sumner, the dictatorial utter-
ances of Greeley, and the rabid violence of
Phillips and Garrison, became of more conse—
quence at Washington than the views of the great
majority of the people and the pledged faith of
the nation. A policy of emancipation was an—
nounced, involving enormous expense, doubling
the difficulties of the contest, and in flat contra
diction of the solemn declaration upon the object
of the war, just recited And this was done by
Presidential decree—the fiat of a single man—
without authority, and at the instance of men
who would be among the very last selected by
the American people to advise their rulers.
To this, and to all like departures from the
Constitution and from good faith and sound poli
cy, we are, and must remain, unalterably oppos
ed. I say like departures, for the pretence of
military necessity upon which emancipation has
been announced, has been extended to other
subjects besides the status of the negro, as the
debates of the day abundantly testify. The
seizure of citizens in States untouched by revolt.
and their incarceration in divtnnt prisons, remote
from witnesses who might testify in their favor,
and from friends who mightlotercede for them,
is one of the most prominent of these, and de—
serves all the condemnation* it is receiving from
the people.
The Pother of his Country, the anniversary of
whose birth you celebrate. had no conception of
a doctrine of military necessity as a substitute
for the Constitution and laws of the land; nor
of those undefined, unlimited powers, now as
serted to exist in the President as Commander
in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United
Slates and of the Militia of the States when cal
led into actual service, nor can we recognize
them except as baseless pretensions, to be pat
down with strong public disapprobation at the
earliest possible moment. Washington's views
of military jurisdiction and conduct in a lime of
insurrection, were given to the army sent by him
to quell the revolt in Western Pennsylvania in
1794, when he admonished them, " that every
officer and soldier will constantly bear in mind
that he comes to support the laws, and that it
would be peculiarly unbecoming in him to be in
any way the infractor of them; that the essen
tial principles of a free government confine the
province of the military when called forth on
such occasions,- to these two Ajeots: first, to
combat and subdue all who may be found in arms
in opposition to the national will and authority ;
secondly, to aid and support the civil magistrates
in bringing offenders to justice. The dispensation
of this justice belongs to the civil magistrates.
and let it ever be our pride and our glory to loose
the sacred deposit there inviela • "
In the Spirit of this admonition. and of the
Constitutional doctrine that " the military shall,
in all cases, and at all times, be in strict outer
dinatien to the civil power," we must. stand
opposed to the abuse of the military power in
applying it to other purposes than these appoint.
ed and regulated by law ; as the seizure of pri
vate property of non combatants not legally
liable to confiscation; the seizure of hordes of
negroes, and their support, instruction, trans
porration, drill and payment, as allies; the
seizure and imprisonment of Northern freemen.
without law and against it; the suppression of
newspapers, or the closing of the mails against
them, and the encroachment upon the State
jurisdiction by the appointment of sundry police
officers to exercise powers undefined by and un—
known to the laws. What is asked is that the
military power shall be applied and confined to
its appropriate use ; that there shall be no inva
sion upon liberty by it; in short, that it shall be
subjected to the domination of established law.
And we are perfectly persuaded that Government
will be all the stronger, all the more successful
by following this policy and sternly refusing to
yield to the temptations which assail those en
trusted with authority in revolutionary times.
Let our rulers carefully imitate the example of
Washington, who exercised military powers to
the Revolution with constant respect for the laws
and the authority of the Continental Congress,
unsettled as the times were, and fruitful of pre
texts for departure from regular and legitimate
notion.
In addition to the signal advantages which
will be secured to our cause by reversing the
policy of the Administration—by establishing
other and truer doctrines than those just exam
ined-4he Democracy can take into account as
one of the agencies for restoring the Union. the
powerful and invaluable aid of allies in the Bar•
der and Confederate States—men who have gone
into revolt reluctantly, or who now stand with
divided inclinations, uncertain of the position
they shall assume. The issue of the war has
always depended as much upon the determina
tion and union of the Confederate States as upon
the magnitude of the efforts. put forth by us
against them. Manifestly, therefore, our true
line of policy has been to divide them ; to con
ciliate a part of their population, and dampen
the ardor of the revolutionary spirit by subject-
ing it to conservative opposition in the very
communities where it. arose The subjugation
of the South by the mere exertion of physical
force against it, assuming it to he really united
and in earnest, is a work of extreme difficulty,
and rmptires an amount of wisdom and vigor
which our Administration has failed to exhibit.
In a war of invasion upon the South, most for—
midable natural obstacles are to be encountered,
and also the powers of t e enemy, and our
strength must, be, or be made to be, adequate to
overcome both. In short, in this case, allies in
the enemy's country were necessary to certain or
prompt success, and to secure them all. the arts
of policy and all the means of conciliation within
our power, should have been exerted.
But what is the policy of our rulers? Is it
not written in the history of the Crittenden Corn
promise and of ‘lto Peace filonferenee Resolves?
in Congressional enactments and in Presidential
Proclamations? No concession, no conciliation.
but only sheer force to compel complete submis
sion ! This policy, at- once incalcula•ing and
impassioned, watt persisted in until repeated die
asters came to exhibit its folly and impotency.
Yes! the necessity of allies, utterly scouted in
the outset. became demonstrate,/ on the plains of
Mans-ens and in the swamps of the Chickahomi
ny. The enures of events taught ns that itsßis
lilkidA would he useful. if not indispensable, to
the great work of - subduing rebellion and restor
lug the integrity of the Union.
Recognizing this truth, the men in power have
turned their attention to the negroes—the sub
ject. race of the South—and propose to arm and
employ them as aids in the war. This experi
ment is likely to be carried out., to be freely
tested, and to produce results which. to say the
least, will be instructive to future times.
In marked contrast to this desperate experi
ment., conservative men look for alliance and i
to the white race—our own stock and kindred
and propose to secure their co operation in re
storing the Union by a policy of conciliation,
and by the example of a return by our own gov
ernment to a true Constitutional rule, uninflu
enced by fanatical passion and regardful of all
State and individual rights as established by our
fathers. In their policy, the conservative ale
went along the border and in the South is to be
encouraged and developed, not repelled, spurned
and insulted!
Great allowance is dOubless to be made for an
Administration charged with the conduct of a
great war, and Oracularly a civil war. Tho
dittienbies to be surmounted are great and of en
the course to be pursued is but a choice between
evils. At such a time a generous mind will not
seek occasion of offence, and can overlook small
points of objection in reviewing public affairs.
But the subjects now brought into debate by
the policy of government are fundamental and
vital; it is impossible to be indifferent to them,
and it would be unmanly to evade them. Frank,
full, open debate upon them, will lead to useful
conclusions, and give due direction to our efforts
as citizens of a broken and afflicted country.
It results from what has been said, that the
administration now in power may expect from
the great mass of those politically opposed to it,
acquiescence in a legitimate exercise of the pow
ers with which it is invested, whether relating
to the war or to internal administration. But
they will claim and exercise the right of discus
sing the wisdom and constitutionality of its pol
icy, and will resist by all lawful means any
attempt to pervert the war from its true object,
or to use the war power as an instrument for
introducing arbitrary rule among us.
And they will labor to prepare the way for
the complete re union of the States, upon their
accession to power; or, if (in contradiction of
their fears) such re-union should previously be
achieved by arms, then to confirm it and render
it real, cordial and perpetual.
Let it be distinctly understood that the great
mass of the Democratic party and of the conser
vative men of the country have never agreed, do
not now agree, and have no intention of agreeing
in future, to a diesolution of the American Union
founded by Washington and his compatriots, and
that they will not cease their efforts for its com
plete restoration in its original, pristine vigor.
But to accomplish this purpose, they, unlike
their opponents, will use all legitimate means of
restoration, an d not physical force alone. This
may be boldly and openly announced, every
where, and ought to be accepted everywhere, as
the only reasonable and patriotic ground upon
which a party can stand that desires and intends
to save the country.
The adminititration has deliberately cast away
all means of restoration, except physical force,
and has called into existence great and unneces
sary obstacles to success, until, notwithstanding
the immediate difference of apparent strength
between the parties to the war, its issue hangs
trembling in the balance. But let us not despair
of the future. "Out of this nettle danger" we
may yet "pluck the flower, safety." We may
hope that the remaining months of Mr. Lincoln's
term will be got past without complete exhaus
tion, and the point of time arrived at, when a
vigorous and truly great party, clean-banded.
from the past, thoroughly Union, upright. just,
patriotic and brave will assume possession of
the powers of government. And then, this par
ty, with an old history identified with the glories
of the country binding to it sympathy and affec
tion in every quarter, with no selfish, local or
fanatical passions, to w- aken or mislead it ; with
a generous, even-handed, impartial, time-tried
creed, conformed to the Constitution, and spring
ing naturally from its principles—this party,
thus qualified to speak to the whole land, and to
he heard with affection and reverence, can and
will command these wild waves of human passion
to be still, and, rejecting alike the fanaticism of
Boston and of Üb.arlestou, will rebind these great
States together, in enduring bonds of interest
and sympathy !:
I am, dear Sir, very truly yourn,
C BUCKALEW

VISION OF JOSEPH HOAG
[Joseph Hoag's parents were Presbyterians,
who endeavored to educate their children in ac
cordance with their tenets; but he early became
a Member of the Religious Society of Friends,
and, in process of time, au acknowledged Minis
ter, in which capacity he travelled extensively
He and his wife (Huldah, who was also a Minis
ter) were the parents of a large family, all of
whom became Ministers, Joseph was born in
the year 17G2, and resided, in early life, in the
wilderness part of New York, where he experi
enced many hardships; he afterward. removed
to Vermont, and there died in 1840. Though the
following vision was not much known until re
cently, yet he communicated the same to his
children and some of his friends many years
ago. Joseph's estimable character, as well as
that of his family, forbid the supposition of •
doubt as to the genuineness of the visien.]
In the year 1803, in the eighth or ninth month,
I was one day alone in the field, and observed
that the sun shone clear, but a mist eclipsed its
brightness.
As I reflected upon thGgingnlarity of the event,
my mind was struck into a silence the most
solemn I ever remember to have witnessed; for
all my faculties were low, and unusually brought
into deep silence. I said to myself: " What can
all this mean ? Ido not recollect ever before to
have been sensible of each feelings."
And I heard a voice from Heaven, saying;
‘, This which thou seest is a sign of the present
coming times. I took the forefathers of this
country from aloud of oppression ; I placed them
here among the People of the Forest; I sustain
ed them, and while they were humble I blessed
them and fed them, and they became a numerous
people But they have now become proud, and
have forgotten me, who nourished them and pro
tented them in the wilderness, and are running
into every abomination and evil practice of
which the old countries are guilty, and have
taken quietude from the land and suffered
dividing spirit to come among them—lift up thine
eyes and behold." And I saw them dividing in
great heat. The division began in the churches
on points of doctrine : it commenced in the
Presbyterian society and went through the va
rious religious denominations, and in its progress
and close its effects were the same. Those who
dissented went off with high heads and taunting
language, and those who kept to their original
sentiments appeared exercised and sorrowful.
And when the dividing spirit entered the Society'
of Friends, it raged in as high degree as in any
I had noticed or before discovered ; and, as be
fore, those who separated went off with lofty
looks and taunting censuring language. Those
who kept their ancient principles retired by
themselves. It next appeared in the Lodges A'
the Free Masons it broke out in appearance
like a volcano, inasmuch as it set the country in
an uproar for a time.
Then it entered politics throughout the United
States, and did not stop until it produced a civil,
war An abundance of blood was abed in the
course of the combat ; the Southern States lost
their power, and slavery was annihilated front
their borders Then a monarchical power sprang
up. took the government of the States, establish
ell a National religion. and made all societies
tributary to support its expenees I saw them
take property from Friends. I was amazed at
beholding all this; and I heard a voice proclaim:
ing " This power shall not always stand ; but
with it I will chastise my Church, until they re 4
turn to the faithfulness of their forefathers.
Thou seest what is coming upon thy native coun
try, for their iniquities: the remembrance of
which has come up before me."
This vision is yet for many days. I had no
idea of writing it for many yeare,--nati) it be
came such a burden that, for my own relief, 1
have written it.
PRIVATEERING.
A.bill authorizing the President to issue letters
of marque and reprisal passed the Senate on
Tuesday by a vote of 27 to P. Mr. Sumner op
posed the passage of the bill on the ground that
it might produce complications with the Euro
pean powers, who were opposed to privateering.
Mr. Grimes was in favor of giving the President
power to let slip the dogs of War in efi.44 Of 'com
plications with any power. He wanted to adhere
to our ancient policy whether the European
powers liked it or not. Mr. M'Dougall was in
