THE HERITAGE OP HATRED.
We commend the article published be'
low, to the especial attention of our read
ers. It is copied from the Bellow's Falls
Argus, a paper published at Bellow's Fr.lls•
in the State of Vermont. It shows how ha
tred and malice. and all uncharitableness.
once engendered At;
t Le Kaman mind may
he preserved and increased. and even trans
mitted from generation to generation.
Whoever reads this article will be struck
with the identity of the conduct and the
preteutions of the extreme abolitionists
here and in Vermont, alike indeed with the
spirit of intolerance and persecution, their
monstrous appetite craves a succession of
victims. In this region and Commonwealth,
during our career, and we are not very old.
we have marked with—what unerring ma
lignity, a certain class would foster the
fangs of malevolence and bigotry and per.
sedition, upon institution after institution,
upon party after party. When we first
knew these men they were hard at work in
their crusade against Masonry and Odd
Fellowship. Having been started from that
prey by the stern and constant resistance of
the Democratic party, they turned
their bitter attention to the Catho
lics, everi burning their churches in some
localities. Once more foiled by the Demo
crats they paused awhile to take breath,
and then renewed the battle by means of
an oath-boujni secret society, notwithstand
ing they had persecuted Masons and Odd
Fellows for belonging to secret orders.
They now sought practically to lisfran
ehise voting foreigners and to deny to all
future emigrants the rights of citizenship.
Once_ again the legions of the Democracy
utterly routed and prostrated the army of
the persecutors. And there, they em
braced the abominable doctrines of Ab
olitionism—before whielt, if they are not
again repressed—these old-time agitators
will bear down Constitutions, laws, Coly
pacts and the very ordinance of Heaven
itself.
If our readers will look around them
they will find the same men and the same
presses have successfully denounZed all
who refused to join in the crusade
against Masonry :mtl Odd Fellowship
as "Mason's Jack ." if they would not
persecute Catholics as the tools of the
Popish Hierarch, if they could not swal
low Abolition, as '• dough faces — and as
"Union savers." It is noticeable, how•
ever, that recently, since Abolition hits
joined hands with Secession to destroy
the Union, and have brought upon U 3
the horrors which encompass us ae
with a pall that the epithet "Union
savers" is Ito longer applied to conser
vative mind. Nu class ut men 11 1 1. e so much
in demand just now as those uhu will, ur
will endeavor, to save the Union. Even
the Devil himself may uointentinially
speak the truth sometimes; and the Abo
lition Demon, like bus eminent bad mas
ter, knows well enough how to contradict
himself, or deny his own teachings, if it
should suit hie own purpose; therefore,
no more Abotition Rig:se of conservative
t. Union savers.'' Still, in despite 01 hi s
Satanic Majesty and the Abolitionists, the
Democrats will save the Union, it they
can, no matter how badly our Anti-Mason
ic, Know-Nothing, Abolition enemies may
hate to see us succeed—no matter how they
may rave, and storm, and blaspheme.
Now, hear the editor of the "Aygus."
(who is evidently a shrewd and observant
man,) published at Bellows Falls, in the
State of Vermont:
-..tboluiritanism.
• '•-`-'4,llolitionisna and secessionism arc one
- same iu purpose, if not in profes
sion. Both are working for the same end—
the overthrow of the Constitution—and
the Union p:ofessions of the devotees of
abolitionism are only to subserve their
own base, and selfish, purposes of personal
aggrandizement. Our armies are dealing
with the -wcessionists, and it is for the
press to deal with the abolitionists. The
abolitionists forget everything else in their
hatred of their brethren of the South who
'happen to Own slaves, and, by their fana
ticism and bigotry, show themselves
worthy descendants of the Puritans of
earlier days, vrhoburned witches, whipped
Quakers, sacked convents, murdered - the
pious missionaries to the Norridgewalk
Indiana upon the altar steps, and seemed
to revel in acts of proscription and perse
cution. "Blood will tell," - especially
Puritan blood, and that blood never yet
had the povier unless it abused it. From
the days on which the fierce followers of
Oliver Cromwell massacred the garrison
of Drogheda, and shed the blood of the
two thousand women and children who
clung around the cross—the symbol
Christianity—down to the present day,
the spirit Ofintolerance, and persecution,
has descended like au heir-loom to, and
through, the Puritan stock.
"The passage of the Atlantic has worked
no change in the character of the blood.—
In the New World ins as sanguinary as
in the Old. Liberty with its means only
liberty for itself, and the right to take
what liberties it pleases with others. None
who do not think as they do have any
right to liberty. Witness Roger Williams,
the good old Baptist. who found among
the lied Men of tiliode island plantations
the liberty, and tolerance, which the
"Saints," in the Colony of Massachusetts
Bay denied-him, and his creed. Wituess
the blackened remains of Mount Benedict
Conveut, which, for more than twenty
years,. stood, like an eyeless skull, gazing
down in mute astonishment upon the Pu
ritanicepiety, and - philanthropy, of the
city of Boston. Witness the Blue Laws,
and the Alien and Sedition Laws.—
Every page-of American history is replete
with instruction, and admonition,' to be
ware of this element in the government of
the country, if we would preserve liberty
to all the land. We do not say that this
. element is not useful, that it is nut practi
cal, that it is not inventive, that it is not
industrial, that it is not even possessed of
a fineness of teehug, and of an intellectu
ality which may be looked for in vain in
any other pert of the Union. All this we
admit. We will even admit that it is de
voted to liberty. but it has its own peculiar
notions about liberty. Its ideal of liberty
is not the Christian nor the constitutional
stitidard, %Ilia concedes to others the
aunt latitude of liberty that we claim for
ourselves. Oh, no: not at all! Puritan.
ism is a propagandist, and to make
every one beliet4 as it doef. Restrained
1
and modified by other influences, the Pu
ritanical element is useful in the Govern
ment; but it cannot be trusted to rale
alone. It never has done so without en
croaching upon the rights and liberties of
I others, and it never will.
"Fanaticism is ever the same, and if the
!abolition element should become the con
trolling influence in the country we should
have an " improved and enlarged edi
tion" of blue laws, and John Adams
federalism, under which liberty to write,
and to speak, except in concurrence with
the prescribed views of the established
authority, would be among the things that
were not. The oppressions of two cen
turies ago, by the kiezekiabs, Jededialis,
and Habakuks of fantastical nomencla
ture, woula be revived, and we should wit
ness the ridiculous spectacle of a pretend
ed free government, where liberty of con
science, of the press. and of speech, were
in fact unknown. Abolitionists almost in
variably arc of that class of bigots who
have an instinctive appetite fbr proscrip
tion and persecution, as a certain breed
of dogs are said to have a natural scent
for blood. It is this spirit that has caused
the mobbing of Democratic printing offi
ces, and the denouncing of Democrats as
Pities, traitors, and secessionists. because
they refuse to confound rnionism with
John Brownism—to forsake their time
honored name, and principles, and h o w
i the knee at the shrine of Sambo. Let
r.:\ ery true 'patriot beware of abolition
Pe ritauisru.'
—Since Writing the foregoing, we have
been looking overthe New York World. and
find in it a f,pecch delivered by Congress
man Lovejoy, before the "Emancipation
League, — at the Cooper Institute, on Thurs•
day evening. This league is composed 01
the leading, intellectual abolitionists of the
Metropolis; men powerful in position, in
intellect and means. Like your genuine
puritan, they are all brain and no heart.
Asia& extract from Lovejoy's two hour
oration, will give the reader an idea of the
true principles and doctrines inculcated
by the emancipation League; which are of
true puritanical stamp, co graphically de
scribed by our Vermont eotemporarv. Mr.
Lovejoy said :
"For purposes of reconstruction, slavery
remaining, these seceded states might as
well be inhabited with the bigoted zealots'
whoadheredto the fortunes of (7harles the
First.and to those of the second dames.
As long at this t)rant, slavery, lives, its
votaries will adhere to it with devotional '
zeal and tenaeity. Oh, for morrie ($l-„,, ri ‘ven
to bring our American Stuart to the block: I
Oh,that ibrzhato would become an ()river!
But let us not fear. The President will vet
emerge in the spirit and pow. .r o',• 1 'r,,m•
well, so far as the execution of slavery is
concerned. Let us not make the mistake
that the Protector fell into of sparing airs
of the name, but let us ut terll extirpate
the whole house of our tyrant. American
slavery, root and branch.'
Without stopping to question the Warn
of analogy in the conduct of the followers
of Charles the First and James the Seeotel,
and that of our southern repels. we whsh
to direct the readers attention ratite Woody
spirit of this extract. Rend it again and
see its horrid and brutal sug ! , istiont.--
•'Make not the mistake the Proteet.,r
into," the speaker says. "hr Spit Mg any
of the Ilftlllo. but extirputethe whole house."
The rough soldier Cromwell grew siel:
the unllleDtionable atrocities of his minim
soldiers, and recoiled at the inomitrous
excesses they perpetratt.d; our Ameriesii
Cromwell, however. eouneils en moders
lion, but gives his hearers the nn.s: hioody
instructions. He advises thy super. sine
of all pity, and the closing up of :di ras•
sage to remorse:
" no eottlipunetioui Vieitingi 01 vnl
SkiAke The fell purpose,."
to devastate and destroy. Victims to this
fell spirit could find nu safety; the altar.
though bending .before tho crucilixtion.
would not shield du' proscribed from unli
censed violence. And this is the doctrine
taught and disseminated by the “Emanci•
potion League' . of the great city rd . New
York.
But. there was an act of Wirer Crom
well, however. which might with benefit to
US all be imitated in the ruited States, if
it were not fur the bad precedent it
might establish—we mean his sumtnary
dissolving the "Long Parliament. — That
body of "reverend rogues in robe-,''
"glutte7:6, drunkards and debauehees,—
were not a whit more infamous than those
controlling our two Houses of Congress;
and were it not for the fear of the usurpa
tion of our liberties following, we might in
deed look for another Cromwell to scatter
the corrupt fanatics who are now laboring
for the permanent disruption of our once
proud, powerful and majestic Union.
WADE AND COWAN.
The Gazette of Saturday contained the
following paragraph:
"The Pittsburgh Post has established
itself as the especial defender of Senator
Cowan, and it is particularly savage ou
Ben. Wade, of Ohio—glorious old Ben.—
for his little castigating of Cowan. The
Post does not like Wade, because he divert
ed down its especial favorite, Vsßanding
ham, some time ago. This case of Wade
upon Cowan has given the editor an excuse
for renewed assaults on old Ben."
The Gazelle's appreciation of "glorious
old Ben." is of a different character from
ours; these matters, however, are merely
questions of taste. The dressing which
Ben. gave Vallandingham consisted in
Ben. receiving from the other the polite
and expressive designation of " liar, scoun
drel and coward," " Glorious old Ben."
"eating his leek,'' muttering something
which no one could her. Then "the cas
tigation which Ben—"glorious old Ben."
—gave to Cowan was, also, of a fearful
nature. lie made a scurrilous and black
guard remark to Senator Cowan, and the
latter, after a pause and pinch of snuff,
looked over at him and replied:
When the honorable Senator settles
the account which he has now pending
with a colleague in the other house, it
may be necessary for me to answer his
jibes or his taunts; but, until that is done,
I presume he will excuse me from paying
the smallest attention to them."
Here his nose was pulled again, but he
kept on "eating his leek." blustering a
little by way of. satisfying himself that he
was not yet quite cowed. And this is
"glorious old Ben," who imagines that he
is going to be re-elected to his seat in the
Senate, which he has so shamefully dis
graced. It won't do, Ben; you have to
meet Vallandingban a in some way, even
with tooth and thumb nail, if you expect
to be re-elected. In these days of martial
bearing we cannot encourage blustering
poltroonry. The loafer who had a scheme
for the payment of the national debt of
Great Britain, hut who was 1-. - Iced out of
a "coffee house" because It able
to settle for his slapAar*
no more grotesque
bluster, and ono r
thrash half a dimer burly secessi . oniste;
but when an opportunity is offered him,
he shows himself to be another,,Alw,,
and his courage immediittily "Oozes out
at his finger ends." Perhaps Ben. desires
Vallandingham to assault him, so that he
could go before the people of Ohio'exhifi
king his wounds, another lamentable vic
tim of free speech. If this is "glorious
old Ban.'s " dodge we hope that he may
be frustrated in it; a single "concussion"
of his person would .start abolitionism into
a howl of affected concern for the freedom
of debate, while he himself would be laugh
ing in his sleeve at the expectation of again
gammoning Ohio out of six more years in
the Senate. But it can't win. As Gover
nor Brown said of the rebellion in Tennes
see, Ben., you're "played out."

All soldiers or attaches of the Confederate
army have left Memphis. AII the banking
institutions, with presidents, tellers, cash
iers and accountants have left Memphis,
with a very few exceptions. Our Ira,
ruler, the commander of the post, Colonel
Rosser, than whom there is no more nilii

officer, has left Memphis. Col. McKisick,
our late Provost Marshal, who discharged
the onerous and often unpleasant duties
imposed upon him with so ardent a desire
"to do right" as to have earned for him
self the hearty commendations of a large
majority of those ever having "to do"
with him, has left Memphis. The Post
master has left Memphis. Many of the
best physicians of the city, of its most
able, most admired.men and women, have
left Memphis. Then, " Who lives in

word in contradistinction to politician as

and inclinations of domesticity have ren

On to Richmond"
[From the Petersburg Express. June 5.1
Three Yankee officers—Col. Stone,
Major Miller and Captain Gregg—passed
"on to Richmond" through this city yes
terday afternoon. But we infer, from the
very roundabout manner in which they.
succeeded in getting in to Richmond—the
prize coveted by the whole Yankee nation
—that their visit will not much injure our
cause. These three officers were captur
ed at the great battle of Shiloh. They
were paroled for some special purpose by
General Beauregard, and ordered to re
port at Richmond. This they are now
doing. They are direct from Montgom

NORFOLK, June l3.—An expedition was
made to Deep Creek yesterday by Major
Dodge, who found there a rebel post office
which had been the link of communication
between this place and Richmond. The

Sunday Evening,
As ours Convention
JEFFERSON CITY, June 13.—1 n Conven
tion to-day, a bill was passed.appropria
ting $50,000 in defense warrants for the
care of the sick and wounded soldiers.—
Resolutions were introduced instructing
members of Congress to urge the passage
of a law to reimburse citizens of the State
whose property has been taken or destroy
ed by U. S. soldiers. A message was re
ceived from Gov. Gamble calling the at
tention of members to the fact that the
President of the United States in a mes
sage sent to Congress, during its present
session ? proposed the adoption of a joint
resolution declaring the willingness of
Congress to furnish aid to any of the slave
States that may think;proper to adopt a
measure of emancipation. Such a reso
lution was adopted by both houses and so
becomes an offer by Congress, if we as
sume that it will be carried into effect by
appropriations to he made by a future
Congress. It is a proposition of unexam
pled liberality and what or may be the
views of the members of the Convention,
the subject of Emancipation, the propo
sitions calls for a courteous response.—
Courtesy between governmentsis as much
required as between individuals. This
State has received from the Government of
the I:- S. great attention and kindness ;
large armies have been maintained for our
protection against invasion and they have
battled gallantly in our defense; money
has been given us by the government to
equip our own citizens for their own de
fense and now as sons of Missouri ; num
bers of troops of our own people are arm
ed, subsisted, clothed and paid by the
government in order that we may protect
ourselves, under such treatment it would
be unbecoming to pass over in silent. in
difference the proposition originating with
the President of the United States.
Many of our own citizens, and possibly
the authorilies at Washington, have ex
pected that the Convention would take
some action upon a scheme of gradual
emancipation. The Convention has acted
upon au ordinance containing a scheme
upon this subject, by . laying it upon the
table. The Convention thus acted us it
understood the spirit of the presentation
and therefore it is not now intended to
propose to you to reopen and reconsider
the subject; but this action of the Conv7m
don will without doubt be so represented
as to excite a hostile feeling to the State
among . all those in authority, who fitvor
emancipation, and thus injuriously affect
the interests of the State. As no reason
could be given upon the motion by which
the ordinance was disposed of, the result
may be represented as rudely discourteous
to the President and Congress. The man
ifest propriety of making a response to the
offer of the President and Congress, af
fords an opportunity of removing all the
grounds for such an unjust and injurious
imputation. It is not suggested that the
Convention is to make an apology to any ,
person; but as the proposition made '
the Government of the United States
one which is entitled to a respectful .
swer, in express language, it wr an
very appropriate to adopt a res
a direct response to it. Tit'

Mr. Hitchcock, of St. Louis, asked t'llat

WHERE:AS, The Congress of the United
States, upon the special mem:immolation
of the President, has at its present session
adopted a joint resolution in the following
words, to wit:
Hesidred. That the United States ought
to co-operate with any State which may
adopt a gradual abolishment of slavery.
giving to each State in its discretion to
compensate for the incovenience of public
and private property produced by such a
change, and whereas, the President of the
United States in his recent proclamation

Gen. Hunter of the United States army
has earnestly involved the people of the
States interested, to the consideration of
the said proposition herein contained. lie it
therefore resolved, Ist, that in the opinion
of this convention the proposition contain
ed in said joint resolution adopted by Con
gress and approved A I). 1862, is entitled
as well front its exalted source. as from
its intrinsic importance to the deliberate '
and respectful consideration of the people
of Missouri.
Re.tolred, That while a majority of the
Convention have not felt authorized at
this term to take action with respect to
the grave and delicate question of private
right and public policy presented by said
resolution, yet this body desires cordially
to recognize as well the generous spiri t
therein displayed by the Government o f
the United States as the eminent patriot •
ism and ability which have distinguished
the President of the United States in his
efforts to subdue this unholy rebellions
and to restore peace and orderto this State.
An ordinance was adopted hanging the
State Convention, so that it provides that
after the first of July, 1862, all general
elections shall commence on the I uesday
next after the first Monday in November
and shall be held biennally.
FRONT ROYAL, June 15.—The results of
the battle of Port Republic on Monday
last between a portion of Shields' division
and Jacksons army are now ascertained as
near as can be. The names already given
are known to be among the killed and
wounded; although many classed among
the missing are no doubt badly injured;
but our troops being compelled to retire
before a force so superior in numbers, and
in all other respects except bravery, many
were necessarily left on the field whose
names could not be ascertained, and of
the large number classed as missing, many
will doubtless find their way back to their I
regiments.
The force engaged was composed mostly
of Western men, who did their duty nobly,.
as is evinced by their lighting a foe more
than live timestheirown for five hours, and
then retreating in order, except one or two
regiments, which were completely surroun
ded and compelled to take to the mi-mn
tains—many of whom made their way back
to the division. The 7th Indiana regi
ment, Col. Garin,
did noble duty, holding
their position on the right for four hours
against a vastly superior force, repeatedly
charging and driving the enemy like sheep.
They left Fredericksburg 800 strong and
arrived at Port Republic with only 300,
the remainder being left along the route
sick and disabled, and after the fight they
mustered about 140, losing more ttan half
their force.
The 29th and 66th Ohio also lost heavily,
as may be seen . by the list of easnalities.

xpeis, June 13.—The city remains
usually quiet and orderly, and business
is slowly reviving. Thus far the amount
of rebel property seized amounts to only
about $50,000.
Capt. H. W. Dill, of the,prcitist guard,
estimates the value'of cotton, sugar, dm.,
concealed for shipping , to be about $l5O,-
000. This is rapidly finding its way to the
levee.
The absentees have been over estima
ted, many who ran off first have returned,
while those who leave on upward bound
boats are mostly members of sundered
families.
The Mayor and City Councils are of
Union proclivities as a general thing, and
exercise their functions in harmony with
military rule. Their continued good con
duct is a renewed assurance of this.
There are only two or three places in
the city where either Confederate script
or Confederate Post Office stamps are
worth anything. The most prominent reb
el sympathizers will not take the scrips.
An arrival direct from Madison, Ark.,
brings information that- Gen. Curtis had
not reached Little Reek, but was approach

opposition.
Murk-land, agent for the Post Office
Department, opened the city office to-day,
and an agent of the Treasury Department
is on his way to re-open the Federal Cus
tom House. There have been about thir
ty applications for the office otPostmaster
by prominent citizens of Memphis.
There is as yet but one natibnal flag
floating from a private residence, and that
is from the house of Mr. Cage.
There is but little activity in shipping al
though a few dray loads of cotton have
been hauled down to the levee this Morn
ing, some 500 bales of which was conceal
ed in warehouses.
The steamer J.D. Perry, Alex Ziegler,
master, arrived here this morning, having
on board the 47th Indiana reg, Col. Slack
and Nolen's Cavalry. Col. Slack being
senior officer, supersedes Col. Fitch iu
command of this post. There is no evi
dence that the fleet will start down the
river yet for several days. The Memphis
Grenada Appeal of the 10th, says that
misapprehension prevails in regard to the
Partisan Rangers; they are calledinto ser

designed to act beyond the lines of our ar

like any soldiers and to have all they cap •

not guerrillas and hopes young men will
not fear to enlist.

The Avalanche, in au article on:bellige
rents, admits that the South has defended

charges the North with the commission of
crimes at which human nature in its wild

fied. It claims that legitimate belligerents
should settle qtiestions of war, leaving
peaceful civilians to theienjoyment of their
rights, and observes that these views are
acknowledge by the Federals here, and
thinks that this course will win gradually
upon the Southern people.
The Argus indulges in a series of rabid and
vindictive articles and should be suppress
