A verreommorrVl#6n among Re
.
• publican Politicians.
"Mr. Farnsworth, of Illinois , was surprised
at Opeech of his 'colleague . (pr. Xoss,) 'last
night. It T full of disparakedrinit of the
administration while there wpa !Oiling in it
reprehensive of the course of thp rebels.'
We quote the above mpark, which is a
. .
very common reply,•by our political oppo
nents, to disparaging arguments by Demo
crats against the unwarrantable acts of the
administration, to reprobate it.
They seem to indulge in the delusion that
wlien they make this reply, they have said
that which is conclusive and overwhelming,
and which should stop the mouth of any Dem
ocrat.
Do we charge the Republicans with disre
garding the fundamental principles of our
constitution they tell us we should confine
our denunciations to the rebels. Do Demo-
cr4ti . l OvOi agAirAL the invasion of 'the
pepional liberty of the people try this admin
istration, they fling this reply' to 'o'ur com
plaints. Do we 'complain of the miptrestion

'istration; as Schenk, ens' lifter tie fashion' of
doing things in Maryland, Delaware and
It &Mucky, their suppose they have done all
that is needful, iliE;ti they tell us that we do
MA say anything ‘!i:eureherlale of the course
of rebels." 1 ' "
Now, in all tit t 3, the tUnk our Bepuldican
friends do injustice , not only to their own
better judgment, but show an amazing 124
of discrimination in regard to the capacity of
the people to judge of the weakness of their
cause, which they thus justly confess.
In the first place, Democrats do not com
plain that the rights of Rebels are invaded
by the administration. They leave the Reb
els to be dealt with by our armies in the field,
who have,
i (or ought to have,) a much moan
prrEnssrvz way of dealing with them—the
approprlate arguments to be used by our
armies against the Rebels, are leaden and
steel ones—bullets and bayonets. The Dem
ocrats do not complain of this, but give an
efficient assistance therein, when permitted.
Bat the rights which they denounce the ad
ministration for invasion of, ARE THEIR own
rights, defended (or intended to be defen
ded) by the Constitution and the laws of the
land. The real Rights of Personal I.,iberty,
Free Elections, Free Speech and a Free Bross.
ive beg to say to our opponents when they
invade their rights, (as has been done, by this
Administration, times without number) it is
neither a very satisfactory nor a very conclu
sive to our complaints, to tell us that
we should refrain from speaking "disparaging
ly of the Administration."
OEM
If we shonid amuse ourselves, asdo our
Republican and Abolition friends very fre
quently, while at a safe distance, in denounc
ing the "reprehensible course of the Rebels"
we ask, in the first place, the chanee tliat' they
will never hear of our denunciations and in
the second place, if they should,' that they
would probably pay but little attention to
, I
l•ber4.

An Abolition Watchword.
We have never had • any faith in negro
troops, not fi:ont any 40,,tudiCe iigektst them,
.but•simpiy because it is noterions that the
colored race ere neither as brave, endur
ing, nor as enterprising as the whites,
against whom they would pil i t# in bat
tle. The English employ fiepOye in Vindos
tan to fight the natives of that country ; but,
no matter how hard pressed they are fur
men, the Sepoys are never brought to -Eu
rope to engage in continental wars. The
reason is became soldiers of an inferior race
are not to be depended upon in field fights
with troops of the Caucasian race. It is
noticeable that , with all the care which is
taken to give the negroes better officers
than the whites, they are rarely brought in
to the field by our generals, but are kept
for garrison duty. The following extracts
front a letter dated at Port Hudson, La.,
which we find " in the Springfield Re
publican, tell their own story ;
"It was found that the physical qualifica
tions of the negroes were not equal to the
hardships of drill and fatigue duty, many of
them having in them the seeds of old and
surely and fatal diseases, brought on by the
vicious habits of plantation life, and many
others being yet young ;ad immature 1
'body, and marked by hereditary taints. It

We believe that it will be found before
many months Irre over that the army of ne-
Arot.s ha! been one of the many hideous
blun4era of'thia
Mr. Lincoln's New States.
The frantic efforts of the Abolitionists (says
the Philadelphia "Age") to create bogna
States, are almost too absurd for belief: Mr.
Lincoln seems evidently desirous of rivaling
some of those heroes who have founded great
communities. Like ZE leas, driven from Troy,
he wishes to plant the seeds of a new nation,
but we are afraid there is no divinity to pro
tect and direct him. Emulating William the
Conqueror, he made an expedition into Flor
ida, but, unlike William the Conqueror,he did
not get beyond the seacoast. Arkansas was
his next pet ; and amid the cane-brakes, and
swamps,' and de . solatiou of that country, he
created a Legislature. It was loyal to the
core. It represented as much as twenty
thousand people, and several square miles of
territory—the people being General Steele's
army, and the tespitory the ground they stood
on. The Legislature met, electet t two na
tors, and abolished Slavery, the great ends
of legislation now-a-days ; but a Confederate
raid disturbed their deliberations, and they
suddenly dispersed to the four winds of
heaven. Virginia has made various efforts
to introduce herself into the Union. A Con
stitutional Convention, under the protecting
care of Mr . . Ilinco:n, and supported by the
refreshing odor et the contraband camps,
fl I
met at Alexandria. The Richmond rebel
anthoraies were dethroned, • various officials
appointed, and slavery abolished, of course.
But after several spasmodic efforts, the Con
vention died a natural death. There was no
money in the treasury, and no spoils to be
divided, so the patriots departed in peace.—
Louisiana, we need say nothing about. Mr.
Lincoln there has as many as twelve hundred
voters, black, white, and mongt - el, and that
is enough certainly for any oue.
To South Carolina, however, was left the
crowning glory of Mr. Lincoln's masterly
policy. Everything progressed satisfactorily,
and, in the words of the "loyal" press, the
Convention was "a great success." Resolu
tions were passed, and representatives to Bal
kora appointed. Among them are General
Saxton, the Military Governor, six negroes,
three sutlers, a Paymaster and a Tax Collec
tor—six whites and six Illacks, Witt} a man
bearing the euphoniaus omrfe of fudti l a con
traband superintendent, to give the casting
vote. Being a negro teacher, he, of course,
on all disputed points will decide in favor of
his colored friends, so that the South Caro
lina delegation will be a miracle of harmony.
lik.. Lincoln's perseverance in creating new
Sti4es deserves all praise. He beats Clovis,

Tilton, the editor of thS' Jndepenpent, an
organ of PriesLcraft and Abolitioniadi, says c
"The history of the world's civilization is
written in one word—what many are afraid
to sneak—which many more are afraid to
hear-Land that is amalgamation. In the
fai . futUr:43, the negro will wash his face into

'46arriq)iiet lias lately been issued on this
subject, entitled "Idiscegecation," which ad
vocates the mingling of 'the races as bodly
as did the tracts of Garrison the Abolition
of Shivery, thirty years ago. The pamphlet
not only advocates the propriety of a64Orb

piinistration.
The New Nation, one of the ablest of the
Republican papers, repudiates the Lincoln
dogma,." shat opposition to the administration
is opposite to the governiueut." In an able
and lengthy article last week it says :
"Loyalty, we need not say, is a vir
tue, and disloyalty a crime, under a
Republic no less than under a lifonareig.
Under an absolute monarch, loyalty is
obedience and devotion to the person
of the monarch, who is in the state,
government, and the law. To oppose
him in his will, t i o refuse to support
him against his enemies, foreign or-do
nikeitie, is
In

such. In 'a Republican state like 'ottrii,
the political peoiile . of 'the nation is 'tie
sovereign, and loyalty is 'obedience and
devotion to the nation ; and oppo
sition to its will legally expressed, or
refusal to support it against its foreign
or domestic eneinio ; When called upon
through its constituted organs, is dia
lovalt,— morally treason.

stand that citizen's loyalty, who will
not; at whatever risk to himself, oppose
them by eVeiy lawful means in his

NEW Yong,
.June 15.—A special dis
patch to the World, dated Washington,
14th, says : There are rumors in town
to-day, that Sheridan has reached Gor
donsville, on his way to join Hunter,
and destroyed the Richmond and Lynch,
,iturg Railroad, one of the principal ave
nues by which the rebel capital was
supplied. It is understood that he will
pay a visit to Charlottesville immediate
ly, and accomplish all damage possible
to the railroad and ,depots in his path
way. He is accompanied by a large
cavalry force, and is fully able to cope
with any body of the enemy with which
he may fall in with,
It was suspected at the time Sheridan
started that he would pass around the
South side of Richmond and sever the
Railmad communications leading ta,it,
that city, but this portion of the oam,
paign will probably be entrusted to
Kautz, who oi:ce before raided over that
territory, and is therefore familiar with
the country.
Since Sheridan's destination has been
disclosed the importance of his move
ments are made apparent.
Hunter's column is intended to act vig
ilantly and effectively in theterritory in
which it is now engaged. His mission
is understood to be not only to capture
Clr rlottesville and Lynchburg, but to
make a complete and thorough destruc
tion of all the railroads connecting them
with Gordonsville. With §,kridan's
assistance he may be enabled to pene
trate still further into the country and
effect the capture of Danville '
It is well known that the Railroad
lines leading to the rebel capital, are now
taxed to their utmost capacity to supply
the inhabitants of Richmond and the
immense army of Lee. The people in
Richmond are already suffering from
short rations, and if the Railroad lines
loading to the immense fief and de-
Vositories in West and Soug,westm
irginia and the Shenandoah Valley,
are cut off, the rebels will be compelled
to send away all the non-combatants, and
place the city in a state of siege,
