TELL THE WHOLE STORY
Why do the peace men and journals say
nothing of the safferirds, or the losses, of the
mismanagement, of the,daiders and defeati
of the enemy 7, They profess gYeat alarm(
at our " rlepreCiated , currency," 'they Point
to the rise in the price of gdld—which their
own gambling speculations and evil prog•
nosCcations have in good part produced—
but take no notice of the price of gold or the
state of the, currency among the rebels.—
They . exclaim that calico is getting dear
with us, but they never tell their readers
that it has long been tell times as clear in
the South ; they exclaim against a war tax
which makes coffee cost us forty cents per
pound ; but they do not: mention that coffee
is scarce at one dollar per pound in the
South. They say leather is going up in the
North ; but they never inform the public
that the commonest shoes cost twelve to
fourteen dollars, and men's boots fifty dollars
per pair in Richmond ; that half the Rebel
army is barefooted, and that slavehoblers
are forced to wear shoes never before used
except by their slaves.
Such even-handed diffusion of knowledge
would not suit Ilia, purposes of the gentry
who have come lately to be called dins
i ni Ls.
These pcTsons, who are so afraid of the
enemy that they beseech a people of twenty
millions to imnibio thenhieives in the dust
to a popolatio'n ()I leis than nine millions, a
third o: v.llOlll 11 friendly to 11S, are fond
(1 claiming about the immense saerilicei
,•. e have ahead } made fir the Union. We
bare Made ,real sacrifices, Inn:Land the
['llion is worth thou) all, and more t,o. We
have :tift'ered 10• , 505—but look a little at the
enemy. •
Thc r bet leaders lin.; . e in . lssed a eonscrip•
ti ciib , ree , l it—forcing every
man between the 1 - I , TeS of eighteen and liirty
-1 five into their armies. 11.1 s that lien doffs
in the Freil States ? They have just added
t , , th' , n clauseincludinglin a new levy all
in en up to the' age of fifty five year::. Has
this been done in the Free States? The
territory of Missisippi has been laid off into
twk uty miles square, and a recruit
cohmel appointed for each district to
e,Joree the conscript and militia acts. Has
this been done in the Free :talcs?
'Hwy ha \ e sci Led and destroyed hundreds
of millions-of d,llars of private property—
cotton, tobacco, turpentine, Se.,
the protestati ins or the owners. Has
any such outrage on private right, been
,•ntninitted in the Free States? They have
impr,s , ed thousands of slaves without tha
consent of their masters. Ilan this been done
be our government in any loyal slave State ?
In Virginia, in A in Loll
leaders seize private
property at their own prices for their use ;
no matter if it the la,t bushel of of a
huffier or die only lade of cotton of a poor
s.ddier's wire. Has B.IIT been so wrong
ed in the loyal States?
.Tio•fr gent ral taxes are ten times as heavy
as ours—and necessarily so, for their slaves
pas n.) luxe'. and the poor nomslavehulders,
lliu \\ 0r1,11,z-men Jrtheilhern StateB,are
taxed doubly, that the rich man's ,Iftv,B may
be exempt. More than this, a law of the
Ilchot c,,, l:res - ; specially exempts from st
e.in tl,e army every slayebtdder who owns
tw , :fty ~Lives. 18 any such unjust distinc
tion ill favor of the rich at the expense of
the poor found in the loyal States 7 Lint
their general taxes are not all ; their State
taxes have been enormously increased, and
that while . the rebel leaders pruhi'.,it trade,
and seize arbitrarily on private property
wherever they need it. We have before us
an ;LlNtrAct of the " new schedule of (State)
Ia es," passed by the General Assembly ul
Virginia last year. We find a general in
crease or. all articles before taxed of not less
than fifty per cent., and a great number of
new articles on the list, never 1-tefore taxed ;
and these not luxuries, 1 nt the peculiar pro
perty or the wealthy, but the necessaries
which every poor man-uses. "On every
item of property, except sla rex," the rebel as
sembly largely increased the taxes. "'Under
t.velve years slaves are not taxed at all, and
over that age they are taxed only one dollar
and twenty cents per head, regardless of
value." Can any diffusionist point to an act
of any Free State Legislature so shamefully
favoring the rich at the expense of the poor
as this 7
On the I fltk- nf,lannary
called out the sedentary militia of Virginia
—the mere remnant of white working-men
remaining in the State, "between the ages
of forty and forty-five years, to rendezvous
forthwith in the city of Petersburg, for a ser
vice of six months." Has any such demand
as this been made in the loyal States"?
And how do the Southern people bear all
this oppression 7 Our diffusionists attempt
to -alarm the nation by pictures of discontent
in certain Free State'_ they hope to 'excite
such fbelings by talking about 'hem. But
in the South no such inciters are needed.—
The rehelle,aders have trouble on their hands
every, : 144' The o ffi cers they send out to
. w:
enfoietiitlicir oppressive conscription act'are
,shot d s eWu by the people, who refuse to be
dragged like dogs into the rebel armies. In
the West, the Mississippians Tennesseeans
_aullientuakiansittilragg'iLarmy
almost at war with each other, and Jeff.
Davis had to go out there t 6 quiet. them. In:
Arkansas, Gen. Itindman!s starving forces
are utterly disorganized, and three hundred
of them have been frozen to. :death. .In
Georgia and North Carolina the people and
deserters from the army have taken to the
mountains in organized bands, and resist all ,
efforts to capture or subdue them. In North
Carolina, 'armed liands have violently re
leased prisoners from rebel jails, Gen, Lee
'has \been forced, to despatch troops-to East
Tenhessee, "to suppress-an insur r ectionary
movement.", In • Alabama, Gov'r. Shorter
calls for the militia " to meet and quell the
domestic and social disturbances which may
spring up," In South Carolina', even accor
ding to a rebel;general's proclamation, "there
arnia 'number of deserters, tories, and con
scripts resisting the law."
And it is to a band of rebels whose crimes
and lawless outrages have Alms exhausted
and oppressed the people of the South till
they in turn rebrtl against them, that our
submissionists ask a proud and powerful na
tion to humbly sue for pence. It is to rebel
chiefs who will presently be in danger from
the very people they have too long com
manded and outraged, that these peace men
ask-us to submit: Is this sound political in
formation ?

Finding it impossible to keep up the strain,
he abruptly descends from classic anchors to
tne whom it is just pw:sible he has :cad.—
The sentence following Ilk heavy one,
ptc
tends to be a quotation Irons " Mrs. l'4r
t(ll)ington," (we suppose this is ,h iss .j,
i+pelling.) John, we protest against your
crowding Mrs. Part ington into that august as.
semblage of classic gentlemen. 'The old lady
would he as much surprised to find her name
next those of Sallust and Tacitus as you
were when you hound their names in that
booksellers' catalogue.
It is rather difficult to mix up wit and
sarcasm, learning and vermiluge, Demos
thenes and Ilubensaek, Tacitus and Mrs.
J)Partington ii) the same article without being
ridiculous, and we suggest to the Voluni ,,, r
that he had better not attempt it in future.
Disgusted with his silly efforts at sarcasm,
he attempts replying to out comments on the
resolutions. Ile says that our assertion that
slavery ;5 not interfered with where our Gov
ernment has control, is a palpable ildschood,
mid asserts, point blank, that slavery is only
interfered with where our army has penetra
ted. We wera tempted to say at first that
this WWS a transparent lie. Coming front a
man who spells Parting ton with an 11, it is
excusable on - rhea grtaind or ignarailee. Ifie
President's Proclamation specially exempts
froth Emancipation every district that is
even' nominally under the control of the
Government. If slaves mire free in' those
districts where the army' has control, they
are those whose traitorous masters have
been killed while opposing the Government,
and we presume tlivt even our " worm dime.
tor" doesn't think it the duty of the Govern
ment to take measures to resuscitate them
and send their slaves to tient again.
Ile says, further, that
,the designS of the
Democratic party are "painted on their ban.
nerd and endorsed at their meetings." Of
course they are. The very resolution in
question denounces the "war as a fraud ;
and as unwarrantable• and treasonable."—

fur the public to refuse all credit to New

We must take exception to the above state
ment, inasmuch as it implicates all the lead

paper of that and all other cities—the New
York Tribune—has never, to our recollec

New York troops at the expense, or to the
disparagement of those from any other loyal
State. On the contrary, our brave Pennsyl

A FEW WORDS FOR PHARAOH
The . following, from the Religious Mks

cope, contains so many admirable hits'tit the
puerile argument that American Slavery is
justified by Bible doctrine and history; thiit
we cannot forbear its publication: The vein
of quaint and genuine hunter which perme
ates this article detracts nothing ,from its
vigor or readability. This week's ro/untecr
contains a crushing leader on Political
Preaching. We ask those of our readers
who can get hold of this sermon by the lay
m In of the rolunt.'er, to lay it side by side

" Ever since we were old enough to go to
