IX. Select “SOJOURKBR TSVTB." BY HBB. F, D. GAGE. The story of “ Sojourner Truth,"-by Mr*. H. B. Stowe, in the April number of The Atlantic will he read by thousands in the Bast and West with intense interest; and as those who know this remarkable woman will lay down this peri* odical, there will be heard in home circles throughout Ohio, Michigan,'Wisconsin and Illinois many an anecdote of the weird, won derful creature, who was at once a marvel and amyntery. , : Mrs: Stowe's remarks on Sojourner’s opinion of Woman’s Bights, Brings Tlviaiy TO my wind a scene in Ohio, never to be forgotten hy those who witnessed it. In the Spring of 1851, a Woman’s Rights Convention was called in Akron, Ohio, by the friends of that then won droosly unpopular cause. I attended that Con vention. No one at this day can conceive of the state of feeling of the multitude that came together on that occasion. '• The Convention in tho Spring of 1850, in Ssleth, Ohio, reported at length in the New York Tribvne by that staunch friend of human rights, Oliver Johnson, followed in October of the same year by another Convention at Wor cester, Mass., well reported and well abased, with divers minor conventions, each amply vil lified and caricatured, had set the world all agog, and the people finding the women in earnest, turned oat in large nmribers' to see and hear. The leaders of tße movement, staggering tin der the weight of disapprobation already laid upon them, and tremblingly alive to every ap pearance of evil that might spring np in their midst, were many of them'almost thrown into panics on tho first day of the meeting, by see ing a tail, gaunt block woman in a gray dress and white turban, surmounted by an nnconih sun-bonnet, march deliberately into the church, walk with the air of a queen up the aisle, and take her seat upon the pulpit steps. A buzz of disapprobation was beard all over the house, and such words as those fell upon listening ears: “An Abolition affair W "Woman’s Rights and niggers “We told you so. Go it, old darkey!’’ I chanced upon that occasion to wear my first laurels tin public life, as president of the meeting. At ray request, order was restored, and the business of tho hour went on. The morning session closed ; tho afternoon session was held; the evening exercises came and went; old Sojourner, quiet and reticent as the “Libyan Statue,” sat crouched against the wall on a corner of (he pulpit stairs, her sun bonnat shading her eyes, her elbow on her knee, and her chin resting 5n her broad, bard palm. A( intermissions she was busy selling the " Life of Sojourner Truth,” a narrative of her iowp strange and adventurous life. Again and again timorous and trembling ones camp to me and said with earnestness, “ Don’t let her speak, Mrs. G. Jt will rniq us. Every'newspaper in the land wilU.have our cause mixed with abolition and niggers, and we shall bo utterly denounced." My only an swer was, —“We shall see when the time cpmes.” The second day the -work waxed warm.— Methodists, Baptists, Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Universaiist ministers came in to bear and discuss the resolutions brought forth. One claimed superior rights and privileges for man because of superior intellect; another because of the manhood of Christ. If God had desired the equality of women, he would have given some token of his will through the birth, life and death of tho Savior. Another jjave us a theological view of the awful sin of our first mother. There were few women in those days that dared to “ speak in meeting,” and the august teachers of the people, with long-winded bemhast, were seeming to get the better of os, while the boys in the galleries and sneerers among tho pews, were enjoying hugely the discomfiture, as they supposed, of the strong minded. Some of the tender-skinned friends were growing indignant, and on tba. point of .losing dignity, and the atmosphere of the-con vention betokened a storm. Slowly from her seat in tho corner rose Sojourner Truth, who, till now, bad hardly lifted her bead. “ Don’t let her speak,” gasp ed a half-dozen in my ear. She moved slowly and solemnly to the front; laid her old bonnet at her feet, and turned her great speaking eyes to roe. Tbero was a hissing sound of disapprobation above and below. 1 rose and announced " So journer Truth,” and begged the audience to keep silence for a few moments. The tumult subsided at once, and every eye was fixed on this almost Amazon form, which stood nearly six feet high, head erect, and eye piercing the upper air like one in a- dream. At her first word there was a profound bush. in deep' tones, which, though not loud; reached every ear in the house, and away through the throng at the doors and windows. “Well, chillon. whar dar’s so much racket dar must befsom’ting out o’kilter.

It was pointed, and witty, nnd solemn, eliciting 8t almost every sentence deafening applause; and she ended by asserting “ that if de fust woman God ever made was strong enough to turiTde world upside down all her one lone, all dese.

She had taken us up in her great, strong arms and carried us safely over the slough of difficulty, turning the whole tide in onr jfnvoj - . I have given bat a faint sketch of her speech. I have never in my life seen anything like the magical influence that subdued the mobbish spirit of |tbe day, and turned the jibes and sneers of an excited crowd into notes of re spect and admiration. Hundreds rasbed up to shako bands and congratulate the glorious old -mother, and bid her “ God-speed” on her mis sion of “ testifying agin concernin’ the wick edness of this here people." Once upon a Sabbath in Michigan an aboli tion meeting was held. Parker PiUsbdry was speaker, and expressed himself freely upon the conduct of the churches regarding slavery.— While he spoke, there came up a fearful thun der storm. A young Methodist rose and, in- him, said he felt alarmed; he felt as if God’s judgment was about to fall upon him for daring to sit and .hear such blasphemy; that it made his hair almost rise with terror.. Hero-a voice rising above the rain that beat upon the roof, the sweeping.surge of the winds, the crashing of ilia .limbs of trees. swaying of branches, and .the rolling of’thunder, spoke out: “ Chile, don’t he skeered; you’re not goin’ to he harmed. I don’t speck God’s ever heern tell on ye !” It was all she said, but it was enough. I might multiply anecdotes (and some’of the best cannot be told) till your pages would.not contain them, and yet the fund not be exhaus ted. Therefore, I will close, only saying to those who think public opinion does not change, that they have only to look at the progress of ideAs from the stand-point of old Sojourner Truth twelve years ago. ; The despised and mobbed African, how the heroine of an article in the most popular peri odical in the United States. Then Sojourner could say, “If women wants lights, let her take 'em.” Now women do take tbem, and public opinion sustains tbem. Sojourner Truth is not dead; but, old and feeble, she rests from her labors near Battle Creek, Michigan.— N. F. Independent. Training the Child’s Body. Whatever yon wish your children to he, he it yourself. If yon wish it to be happy, sober, truthful, affectionate, honest and goodly, he all these yourself. If you wish it to he lazy and sulky, aryl a liar and a thief, and s drunkard and a swearer, be yourself all these. As the old cook'crows the young one learns. You re member who said, “ train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” And you may as well expect to gather grapes from thorns, and figs from thistles, as good, healthy, happy children, from diseased, and lazy, and wicked parents. Be always frank and open to your children. Make them feci at ease with you, and moke free with them. There is-no such good plaything for grqwn np children, like you and me, as weans —wee ones. lit. is wonderful what you can get them to do, with a-little fun and coaxings You all, know this,as well as I do, and you will practice it every day in your families. Here is a pleasant story out of an old hook; “ A gentleman having led a company of children beyond their usual journey, they began to be weary, and all cried to him to carry them on his' hack; hut because of their multitude he could not do that, ‘But,’ said he ‘l’ll,get hor ses for ns all;’ then cutting little wands out of the hedges as ponies for them, and a great stake, ns h charger for himself, thus put mettle into their little legs, and all then rode cheerfully .home.” So much for a bit of Ingenious fun.— Dr. Sroicn. i Saved! the fiddle. —The writer of the dec laration of Independence was passionately fond of .fiddling, and is said to have not been excelled in playing on that instrnment. In 1770 bis family mansion was burnt. Mr.: Jefferson used to tell, in after year* with great glee, an anecdote 1 connected with the fire. Be was ab sent from home when it occurred, and a slave arrived out of breath to inform him of :tbe disaster. After bearing the general destruc tion, ho inquired; “But were none of my hooks saved ?” “ No. massa,” was the reply, “bnt wa saved the fiddle!” ■ A Corporation in Boston recently paid a dividend of ilfty por cent. An- elderly gentle man, os he'took his check for a thoneand, did not apptar-ever satisfied, and the clerk ventur ed to re mark the dividend was; rather a large ore. The veteran looked at the young man over his spectacles, and said, with a grunt: *’4t will do, if they only keep it up.” Speech of Bon. Daniel S. Dickinson. Delivered at fie Sumter Mate Meeting {» Sea, York, on Monday, April 20,1863. , Mr. Dickinson.said: .This U a fitting period, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen, .for ns'fo commune together upon matters which deeply concern onr well-being—nay, onr very existence .as a great people,'and lam alike proud of and thankful for being selected as one of the speakers upon an occasion so pregnant with meaning,'so replete with interest, lam grateful, indeed, for the generous reception, the ion ’. it mm* me that my hnmble efforts in the cause of the Union and the Constitution are remembered and appreciated—that there .is a flame of patriotism in the popular heart, which will burn like the Testa! fires of fable, gjth a pure and constant glow, until time shall he no more, and yet will neither be consumed nor wasted. It bids me laugh on at the poisoned arrows, drawn from the quiver of a foiled and unmasked malignity, and to defy the enemies of my country, whether in the character of the bold highwayman and outlaw, or the mean and masked assassin who labors'in the expectation of personal reward. THE GREAT UNION MEETING OF 1861. Two years elapse this, very day, since I had the honor to address in Union Square, in this city, one of the largest popular meetings ever held. It was the upheaving of’ the masses alarmed by the culmination of a dark conspir acy, and startled by the mad assaults of Re bellion upon tbo institutions which they had been taught to regard with religions veneration. The popular current ran strong, and brpad, and deep, and bore along with it upon its bo som all opposing obstacles. It was before ava rice had set down to its repast, or greed - had whetted its appetite for its banquet, or politi ticians had. calculated their chances and infused (heir pollutions; and there was bat one heart, one hand, one voice; and these were for onr country at any cost—regardless of blood or treasure. I stood between the gallant Dix and the lamented Baker—one still serves bis coun try with honor in the field, and the other sleeps in bis bloody grave—his brave spirit quenched in defense of tfaeiUnion that be loved—the vic tim of murderers, engaged In the work of trea son, murder and rebellion. Many who attend ed that mighty gathering have fallen upon the field of blood, or have perished with disease ‘and exposure. Many moraaro still with our brave army and navy, doing battle in the cause of Constitution and Free Government, and, in the true spirit of sons of Bevolutionary sires, are laboring to crush and exterminate conspir acy and rebellion. Many are pursuing their customary avocations, and' discharging with fidelity the varied relations of good citizens— aiding, assisting and inspiring the Government in its arduous work—cheering, sustaining and encouraging those who are bearing their bo soms to the shafts of battle, and by every fac ulty and every effort, contributing of their in fluence and of the means wherewith they have been blessed to rescue this land of the free from the grasp of the vandal destroyer. Some, alas! who were there have indeed fallen, hot not upon field of glory—have fallen benestb the hope of fescue or resurrec tion—bare fallen from the vindication of their country’s integrity to the lowest depths of po litical degradation—have fallen from where they should have stood as the defenders of their country’s cause, in this her hour of peril, to act ss sappers and miners for her destruc tion, and to further the guilty schemes of Rv hellion. They went for a reward, and they will reap it;-but, like the apples of Sodom, it will turn to ashes when tasted. They are -joined to their idols. Let them alone. Their retribution will come before they are prepared to meet it, and will be so terrible as to leave them objects of pity and compassion. THE REBELLION. The infamy of the Rebellion has been so of ten portrayed—the dark and perjured conspir acy by which it was inaugurated has been so successfully nnmasked—the conspirators, and thieves and assassins who serve ns its leaders have been so frequently exhibited to the indig nant gaze of a betrayed people, that a repeti tion of their atrocious villainies were profitless. But they will be brought to judgment., They stand forsworn before God—murderers in the sight of man—their souls black with perjury, their hands red with gore—their hearts -foul with treason—their faces spotted with leprosy and will hereafter hate them as they would a venomous beast—women will cry against them and curse them, and children will tremble and shrink away with instinctive ter ror when their names are mentioned. And when vengeance, ever upon the bloody track, shall overtake them, those late wholesale mur derers of men, like their less guilty exampler, will cry put in the true spirit of the delected felon, that their punishment is greater than they can bear. OCR CONDITION AT BONE. The Rebellion in the revolting States con tains fewer elements of mischief and danger to-day than are found In the heart of rebellion abroad when we can crash out the encourage ment which sustains it at home. While the masses of all parties in the loyal States are true to the interests of the country, so far as politicians and parties are concerned, all are for a vigorous prosecution of the war, and the overthrow of the rebellion, Sy any of the usual means of warfare, regardless of cost. There is a combination in many of the loyal States which gives aid and assistance, and counte nance and encouragement to rebellion—which seeks peace at any inglorious sacrifice, and con demns the Government and justifies the rebell ion. This great fact is as palpable.it is hu miliating,jind is qnitc too stubborn to ignore, or to yisid to popularity, or good nature, or polite ness. It is doing injustice to the loyal masses not to expose it. It constitutes-the heart and hope and life-blood of the rebellion, and must be met and conquered and disposed of here, before the war can be pra|Ksated, with advan tage or a fair prospect of success abroad. It is treason in disgal je, sometimes wearing a foil ma.‘k, anf at other SS by Brtttntn ih | the play, "showing half Its face.;” but in whatsoever name, or under whatsoever guisa it may appear, it is the same detestable miscreant traitor. He comes generally in. the name of Democracy, with about (he same complacency and no more propriety than Satan came in the' guise o£ an angel of light, and claims' to bear’ the. Democratic standard, as the hypocrite “ stole the livery of the conrt of Heaven to serve the devil in.”’ He counterfeits the voice of patriotism; hot this is nothing new. Wolves have counterfeited the- human voice from the days of the Red Biding Hood. • JI& is for a prosecution of the war, hut the prosecution is Itlfi, .and. few partial successes'in the last Fall’s elections gnvA it'hope "and impudence, nod it gave its black piratical banner at once to the breeze in the recent Connecticut election, and summoned' its far and near, and bade defiance. But its gasconades, like those of many a braggart before, proved its overthrow, •and disloyalty there note is as-cheap as the cur rency .’issued by its confederates in crime. The sweet singers -of Secession have bung their harps on the willows upon the banks of the Connecticut Euphrates in despair. A wailing note from Richmond shows their sorrows for the bereavement as well as the complicity be tween Rebellion South and its sympathizers here, and what movements "were to have fol lowed the election of Seymour in Connecticut now unavoidably postponed in consequence of the late storm: From (be Richmond Dispatch, -April 11. “The Connecticut elections have gone against the Democrats. Gold has fallen on the strength’ of tbe Republican success, obtained no doubt by bribery, nnd the "hopes which rested on the triumph of Seymour have fallen to l the grouud. The importance of this to the Democracy, can not well be exaggerated ; for if the result had been otherwise the North West would hare risen, the Peace Party would have been organized on a permanent basis ; tbe-next meeting of Congress would have been followed by a summary abro gation of the imperial powers -bestowed upon Lincoln by tbe Abolition Congress just ended, and n,cesssation of hostilities might have been confidently looked for, at or before the close of the present year.” The November treasonable convocation in this city, described ia and exposed by the time ly publication of the letter of Lord Lyons, proves still farther, that wo have traitors in onr midst; for who but a traitor would sit down with the representative of an unfriendly power, and deliberately scheme for the inter vention of foreign aid to Rebellion—postponing it to such a period os should be more certain to render it effectual, and advising that Great Britain—the modern whore of Babylon, should piny an important and significant part, but be kept out of view as much ns possible, because her hostility to; the Union was so well under stood, and because she was so justly and uni versally hated, and detested and despised for it by the people of the loyal States. Those who played this part in our country’s history in this her evil day, are far greater villains than Davis and Floyd and Beauregard, and their associate hoteliers, and have ‘my permission to rank themselves as foremost of those who deserve in dictment, trial, condemnation and execution for treason against the Government. These evidences, as well os a rank and pestilent crop of lesser ones, from the outbreak of the ’’Re bellion to the present moment prove, that we have treason and treachery at homo, which should be disposed of inmmarily, if we would speedily conquer rebellion abroad. The do mestic is more dangerous than the foreign foe. One has the infamous merit of open and uncon cealed villainy. The Other inquires whether “thou art in health n}y brother V’ while he conceals .the dagger intended for your heart beneath bis garment. Both labor for' a com mon end, bat he who takes the field with bis deadly weapons of warfare, is more deserving of the confidence of bis fellow-men, and is an honester man in the sfeht of God, than be who wears the guise of semi-patriotism and plays the part of a spy and a betrayer. political Designation's. Party names and political designations, in their ordinary Signification, should never be heard in a moment of,| civil warfare. Patties, as sneb, cannot, should not act. Parties are organized to inaugurate, enforce, or oppose some measure of Government in its civil and international polity, when the edifice of Govcrnmentis threatened—the Constitution de fied—the nation’s flag insulted, by those who owe it allegiance, the, existence and mainte nance of the Government is the first, the ab sorbing, and the only Question depending, and there can I be but tn>o parties upon it—one which would uphold (he Government, and one which would destroy it; —one which would crush and conquer the Rebellion, and one which would giro it aid and,' encouragement, and se cure it ultimate triumph. All half-and-half pretenders; all compromisers, all go-betweens, all who would hail leaders in arms, en gaged in perpetrating jail the crimes that black en the history of civilization with proposals for armistices, and negotiations for peace, are men to be despised, and thrice more to bo distrusted that the Rebel who levels his musket at your heart They would sell their country’s birth right for a mess of political pottage, while he would take it by the force of arms. The coun try is cursed by the mean ambitions of some of all parties—by thobe wbe have been accus tomed to run with the machine—who fear they majr be lost sight of-under the waves of the great popular ocean wjbon its bosom is jgitnted, and heaves and beats iwith the throes of revo- ■ lotion, unless they cling to the rigging of their political craft; and hence they cry out at such times with the tired Caesar, “ help me, parly, or I sink.”. It is for this these party organiza tions are kept on footj when their notes should he hashed in silence. It is for this that honest; loyal men are carried away, by knavish leaders, under the rallying cry of political party.

Never, petlipt/ Was a name more richly merited, or mom wor tbily and appropriately-bestowed. In the,pop ular nomenclature the. copperhead is the rattle •snake’s mate-more mlan,. and,- if .possible, more venomous, and its poison more virulent »o)ssj;;Vmi»» - around the Union, and strangle and sting It to the death, and-the Copperhead of the loyel States is crawling npon its snaky, slimy errand to render its assistance. May oar brate Army and Navy abroad cut off the .head of the one, and the heel of the woman’s seed at home most .effectually and thoroughly bruise the head of the other, T The designation of Copperhead is not one of recent origin, as is supposed by some. In a speech I mode at Albany a few evening since, I called the attention of the audience to the foot, that they existed as long since as the daye of Paul; for be declared that “Alexander the copper head hath done me much evil!—the Lord reward him according to hie works !” 1 admitted that I spoke from memory, and might not hSye every word as it was; bat 1 only aim ed at the substance. Democracy is 'a principle, and not a mere name, to be mouthed by fraudulent pretender*. Ail are not Democrats who pat on its uniform! nor is everything an applo that swims'. Tbs foundations of Democracy are troth, justice, and equality. It has ite true and its counter feit, and as in the case of coin or paper, great effort is made by those who bold the spurious to put it into circulation before detection over* takes them' True Democracy wars not. upon its country’* Constitution, nor doesit justify or apologise for those who do so—itwoulderosb, not compromise with Rebellion—it brings not propositions of peace, but a sword, to those whp threaten the integrity of the Union with arms—it connives not with conspirators or trai tors —it nominates no candidates for their bene* fit, nor does it-indulge schemes of uprising against the Government in one section if it can elect its disloyal candidate in another; it never balances between loyalty and treason, with on* foot iu each, ready to. leap either way, as the fortunes of the day may indicate t it never -at* tempts to ride two horses, .especially when they arc going in opposite directions; It ao* knowledges the membership of none who Wr* nish aid and comfort to the- enemies-of the Union, whether moral, material, or politicals it sits not down with its .country’s, foreign ene mies, to plot the severance of the’Union, seek* ing to secure the most adroit method of stri king the fatal blow, but concealing the dastard band; it keeps on foot no spurious party hatching-machine, hatching organizations for the benefit of pinfeatbered politicians, to vex and embarrass and weaken the administration of the Government in a time replete with difl* culty, or to divide the loyal people into politi cal sections r and thus weaken their forces, or to give courage and hope and prolonged cxis tonce to Rebellion, ft observes all tba com* pacts of the Constitution to those who aoknotr* ledge their force; but it proposes to extend the rigors of war instead thereof to those whodenf and repudiate their authority. While it does not favor Slavery in tbo abstract! not regard its existence as a part of, of essential -to the Constitution, it respects and obeys all tbs pro* tection thrown around it in the hands of loyab ty. But it regards Ihe labor of those held ttt service as.no more sacred than other rights of property, and. will seize, confiscate, employ, at release accordingly, os -authorized by the thlra of martial law. But • true Democracy isth* conscience of the people; it is the very essence of the Constitution; it was born with it, and will expire when it dies. It Mil stand by tba Government, no matter by whom adihinistered;. and will swear in the language of its great and sainted leader, that “ the Union mpst and shall be preserved.” THE REPUBLICAN PATt+f AND TdE UNION PAUTTI Tbe Republican party wds formed from tl 6 old TVTiigtjJarty, which was disintegrated when its issues became obsolete,-and the rreo Soil or Anti-Slavery wing of the Democratic party. It was formed to resist what is termed the es% tension of Slavery, upon the repeal of the Mis l souri Compromise, which alarmed, to consider l able extent, the public mind. Beyond tbii object it had no general creed Sr rallying cryi and holds its present organization, as does tbd spurious Democratic organization, opott and'm virtue of issues which no longer bare exis l tenco. There is no question or living issue upon which-either organization stand* Ot Sart stand permanently trad distinelirely,' and both must give place, however muoh they may strug gle against it, to one grcdt, popular living-, breathing organization upon tbs issues of the dey, too strong for the leading-strings' of man l ngers—too eievatod for the moUsingnwls Wbicll bant for party pay. ' It will be a Democratic Republican organization. Tho Constltntioii and the'Taws will be its pillar and its eloudi and rebellion, whether opep or in disguise— whether of the whole or half blood—whether engaged in the work of treason and murder of in acting as the political aids and instrument* and apologists of those who art—will be sttrt annihilation; Treason and disloyalty -rtill h'4vs a party Worthy of sueh principles, and ths defffn'Ct, jaded, corrupt, and stultified' leaders will have a platform' bf principles suited to thC organic remains of the Copperhead chiefs.
