htnppetl 01 all collateral 1SSUCS, the
, , , ., ,
real, naked question is thus gummed up
in thu address : Thc Abulitiou idea in
volved a demand for tbe political equality
of all men, of whatever raca or color. The
Chicago platform coitrued the Dtclara
tion of Independence to mean that negroes
wen equally included with white men in
its terms, and that the Constitution of the
United States embraced them within thu
ranks of citizenship. The party that adopt
ed this idea as its fundamental basis, had
othpr nnd minor principles, which deluded
many with tho notion that it only desired
to restrict negro servitude to ccrtain local
ities, but its real meaning was tho abso
lute equality of all races and colors iu our
government, suoh as iMexioo, Ucutral
Amorioa and other humblu-dowu mongrel
lisms have adopted. Hence wo see that,
despite tho ''conservative" olemcnt in the
prcsont party in power, it has constantly
and invariably driftod to tho prootioal re
alizatton of these monstrous doctrines.
In proof of this witness the arming ef tho
negroes of placing thcra upon an equality
with white soldiers in pay anil pensions
and of its reception of a negro embassador
from tlio burlosqito government of llayti,
and of its constant efforts to forco tlio ne
gro upon the laboring classes in thoir work,
as their social equal. It ia thus evident
that, under the prcsont party, the equality
of whites and negroes as citizens, in tlio
samo government, will be carried out.
Was this the government that our fathers
formed I Did they intond to equalize
whites with negroes I If thoy did, thon
tlio Abolition-Republican party is truo to
tlio Constitution. If they did not, then
thoy arc traitors to it. This is plain talk,
but there is no other horn to the dilemma
By this party, and upon a platform
which contained the fundamental idea of
Abolitionism, tlio equality of all men,
meaning negroes as well as whites, Abra
ham Lincoln was circled. The South .of
, course, objected to a President elected as
I their enemy, the enemy of ttio domestic
' i i
ana ooiai oxisicnee as a people. They
had no objection to tho Union for the
Union had been mainly formed by
Southern men but they did object to it
perversion to its overthrow to its being
undermined by Abolitionism, and hence
they demand that this party, coming into
power with all the curses towards tho
Union on record against them, would give
some guarantee that thoy would preserve
the Union !
Quotations from speeches and pens of
the most prominent men of the South go
ing to show that they were most ardently
attached to tho Union, might bo indoufi-
nitcly multiplied. Upou tho refusal of !
Mr" LiU00ln aud h'3 party t0 sUut by lha
Union, the Southern States confetlerated
tosotur for ,,,uiual rcc,io:,j "? thr '
UP" "'c very men who had refused to j
'vc guarantees to preserve tho Union,
raisod the cry of a "war for tho Union.'' .

Al:i 1 thousands of truo and uoble spirits,
in the first flush of generous patriotism,did

CREATION OF BOGUS STATES
.
Tho steps taken towards establishing a
aystem of false and unjust reprcscntauon
in the Government 0 the United States,
should bo now carefully considered.
In tho first place, lot us considor what (
has taken place in regard to tho State of
Virginia. In 1800. Virninia had a nonu-
uu (incluaing slavc3)) of 1,500,318 ;
'
Pennsylvania a population of 2,000,215 ;
New York a population of 3,880,035.

very small part of tho old State, not in
eluded within the boundaries of the new
one, remained within our military lines, to
b as woU a3 lbc ow stat0 represented

liy two members in the Senate, lhus, un

the ancient State of Virginia has lour votes
in the Senate of the United States, and
. may ncutralizo the votes of both New York

, and Pennsylvania in that body. Iho '-An
. c'lODt Dominion," With a llOpulalion a little
exceeding one half that of Pennsylvania,
ia represented by four Senators in tho Con
. gru,s of thc Unitea ytatcS) anj by tw0 in
iho Confederate Congress at Richmond I
' Pennsylvania, with her three millions of
pUOple, remains true to the Union, and re
i ,aing bor former yot8 in tbe SeDat0 Vir
ginia turns traitor, tends two thirds of her
j population under the Confederate flag,aud
j forthwith lias her representation doubled
ju the Senate of the United States, and
;tha o in dcfonoc of a conslituliol)al
. . .. , ,
provision forbidding it, and avoided only
j upon a strained construction or implica'
tion totally at variance With tbe plain tact
I Against plaiu truth of thc case, and with'
out necessity, it was assumed that the Leg-
0
islaturo of a fragment of thc Slate rcpre
seated the whole for thc purpose of assent
ing to its division and the erection there
from of a new member of the Pedoral
Union.
We pass from this case to speak of mat
ter moro recent, A Stato government has
been set up in Louisiana, under the super
visiou of a major general of tho United
States Army, which although it holds the
allegiance of but part of tho population,
wo ruppose is to havo tho firmer repre
sentation of that State in Congress ; and
in Tcuucssce and Arkansas there have
beeu proceedings of a similar description.
Tho indications are clear and full, that in
cases and in others of similar character
which may follow them, tho Prcsideut of
thc United Slates, through his officers of
thc army in command in the States to be
represented, dictates and will dictate and
control tho wholo proceeding for renewed
representation, and upon principles most
unequal, unjust aud odious.
A recent attempt to set up one of these
bogus States in Florida, uuder apresidcu
tial agent, must bo frosh in tho recollec-
tion of the country, as must also bo the
-
military disaster by which that attompl
was rondcred abortive.
Hut why refer to particular oases I Why
reason upon ovents that haro happcnod,or
upon probabilities which present them
selves beforo us ! The President of tbo
United States has, himself, in his message . jf it required tha butchering of every man
at tho opening of the present session of to keop up the war. He also undertook to,
Congress, and his proclamation appended ' talk ol corruption In Buchanans adrainis
thereto, announced his programme for tho I ptio.,-probably never hating hoard, that

reconstruction and consequent repreacnta- of b5s own partizanSibad stolen moro mon-
tion of the States whioh may be rescued ey duriug the first year than the' whole
in whole or in part from tho Confederates yearly expenses of Uuohonans adminiitraq
during tho existing war.
Tho Proclamation' extends a pardon ot
all persons in the rebellious States, (ex-
oopt ccrtain Oonfejcra(? offi 4-0.,) up.

faithfully support all proclamations of the
President mad6 daring the existing rebel
lion having rofcrenco to' slaves, so long
and so far as notmodiGcd or dcclarod void
by ctecision of the Supremo Court, And
it further proclaims, ''a ntimbor of porsons
not less than ono tenth in number of tho
votes cast in auch Stato at tbo Presidential
election of 1800, having taken and kept
tho aforesaid oath, tj-c., shall re-establiih
a State Government which shall bo repub
lican, and in nowiso contravening said oath
such Stato shall bo recognized as thc truo
government of tho Stato.1'
This presidential paper must be regar
ded as tho most remarkable ono ever is
sued by an American Executive. The ona
tenth part of a population aro to oxeroiao
the powers of the whole, and, if Congress
concur, arc to bo represented In tho Gov
ernment of tho United States and in our
electoral colleges for tbo choice of Presi
dent, as if they wero tho whole 1 And
this one tenth is to bo mads up of men who
will tolemnly swear that they will obey
and keep all the President's proclamations
upon a particular subject, issued during tbo
present war ; notproclamatiofls which ho
may have issued already, but future ones
also. A more abject oath' was never fram
ed in the history of tho wholo earth. Was
a religious obligation over before required
of citizen or subject, in any ago or ooan-
try, to obey and kucp tho futuro and un
known edicts of thc Executive will I And
if usurped authority can accomplish its ob
ject, a handful of men in a State, degrad
ed by suoli an oath, are to wield represen
tative votes in tho Government of tho Uni-'
tcd States, and enter electoral colleges to
extend the power of tho master to whom
their fealty is sworn.
Congressional Address.
A Touching Incident Mr.' John
Seymour's recent report contains many
thrilling incidents. Wo extract the fol
lowing which transpired on the battle field
ol Gettjsburg; :
A rebel prisoner asked a clean shirt for
his cdmrade whoso fresh, but blood stain
ed bandages told of a recent amputation
just above the knee;
Ono of the Sanitary Commission gave
the shirt, but said the boy must first bo
washed. "Who will do that!" 'Oh,
any of those women yonder." A kind
looking woman Ironi Philadelphia was ask
ed if she was willing to wash a rebel priso
ner. ''Certainly," was tho prompt reply.
"I havo a son in tho Union army and I
would like to to have somebody to wash
him.
With towel and water in a tiu basin sho
cheerfully walked through the mud to the
tent. Careful not to desturb tho auiputa
ed ieg. she gently removed tho old shirt
and began to wash him ; but tho tender
ness of a mother's heart was at woik, and
she began to ory over him saying (hat she
imagined sho was washing her own soni
This was more than he could bear. He
too, began to weep, and ask God to bless
her kindnoss to bun. Tho scene was too
much for thc bystanders, and they left
iho northern mother and southern son to
their sacred grief, wishing that tears could
blot out tbe sin of this unnatural war.
A Wonderful Cannon. A traveller,
who wits telling very strange stories of the
rcmarkablo things which ho had met with
whilo ho was abroad, said thero wero can
non so largo in Egypt, that onco being a
oalasb, drawn by four horses, and U sud
den shower of rain falling, ho drovo into
one of them for shelter, calash and all.
'Oh !" said a geutlemen, who was listen
ing to it, 'l can vouch tho truth of that
myself, for I remember I was at tho very
same time at thc other end of it in a post
chaise, aud upon your coming in at tho
mouth, I drove out at tho touch hole."
Extermination. As the AbolitioDit
generally aro advocates of extermination,
wc would suggest to them three operations
by which tbo matter oan bo thoroughly and
effectually done. First, shoot tbo men ;
sccoudly, itarvo thtr women ; and thirdly
eat all tbo children S This would bo ox-
termination in full, cutting off all prospect

ESyr; Somo poor dunco, who only reads
papers in tho interest of tbo nigger, was
blowing tho othor night, in town, that ho
was onnosed to comnromise. or settlement
