LIFE LEAVES.
The following poem Is touchingly beautiful. Many
an eye will be dimmed by a tear as It reads these lines,
and the thoughts go wandering away to " nioniory's
wild wood :"
The day, with Its sandals clipped In dew,
Has passed through the evening's golden gates,
And a single star in the cloudless blue -
For the rising moon in silence waits ;
While the winds that sigh to the languid hours
A lullaby breathe o'er the folded flowers.
The lilies nod to tho sound of the stream
That winds along with lulling flow,
And either awake, or half a dream,
I pass through the realms of long ago ;
Will faces poor with many a smile
From the bowers of Ifleumry's magical Isle
There aro joys and sunshine' sorrows awl he,,,'
That chock the path of life's April hours,
And a longing wish for the coining years,
That hope ever wreaths with the fairest flowers ;
There are friendships guileless—love no bright
And pure as the stars in halls of night.
There aro ashen memories, hitter pain,
And buried hopes and a broken now,
And an lolling lu•nrt by the reckless mein,
And the sent breeze fanning a pallid brow
Anil a wanderer on the shell-lined shore
LlFttening far vaic . es that apeak 110 more
There 110 pasidinw strOlig 6141 antliition3
And the fierce desire to Mend in the Van
Of tho battle of life—end the heart of the child
Is crushed in the breast of the struggling emu
Pal short are the regrets and few are the tears,
That fall at 1.11, tomb of the banished Tears.
There is a quiet anil peal . ° thud difinest.lo 1010,
Anil Joys arising from ftilh and truth,
And n lint], unquestioning, far abovo

In the distant 11141, 'nelith protecting trees,
Where the streanikt winds, and the r Inlet

And see mourn for pressure of tender lips,
And the light of eyes darkened in death's eclipse
And thus, as the glom of the dad light dies,
And the night's lint look to the earth in rant

LIEUT. GEN. SCOTT
L:eut. Gen. Winfield Scott died at West
Point, N. V., a little after 11 o'clock, on the
.10th of May. Few Americans will hear
without emotion the announcement of the
death of one who in years past hes deserved
so well of his country ; although, infirnl as
he lies been for a long while, the news does
not come upon us with the shock of sur-
Winfield Scott WWI bOrr. in Petersburg,
a., June 13, 1786, and consequently at the
me ()I' his death locked only two weeks of
the age of SO. Ile was the 'grandson of nn
adherent of the Pretender, who fled to
America from the lipid of Culloden, and the
son of Capt. \V tn. Scott, an officer of the
army of the Revolution. He was educated
at William and Mary College, and after
having devoted a short time to legal studies,
removed to Charleston, with the intention
of practicing there as a lawyer. But the
war with (treat Britain was then imminent,
and when hostilities seemed on the eve of
breaking out, young Scott, who once before
on a similar alarm had ridden twenty-live
miles by-night as soon as he heard a cry for
volunteers, and appeared on parade the next
morning in borrowed uniform in the ranks
of a dragoon regiment, threw down his books
and hastened to Washington to ask for a
commission. In April, 1808, a bill passed
Congress authorizing the increase of the
Regular Army by the addition of eight new
regiments, and on tits 3d of the next month
Scott was appointed a Captain in one of them
—the light artillery. He recruited his com
pany in Petersburg and Richmond, and was
sent with it to New Orleans to join the army
on the Mississippi, then commanded by (len.
- Wilkinson, who was shortly afterward re
lieved by Wade Hampton, the grandfather
of the notorious rebel cavalry leader. Scott
cordially detested Wilkinson, whom he re
garded as a coward and an accomplice in the
treason of Aaron Burr, and with the hot
headed contenipt, for consequences which
always distinguished him, be expressed his
opinion of his commander very freely at a
public table. The consequence was a court
of inquiry, partly into this matter, and part
ly into n technical iriegularity in his ac
counts, involving, however, no personal dis
honor. Ho was sentenced to be supended
for a year. This time he employed at home
In studying law, and, to a subordinate de
gree in reading works on military science.
" Should war come at Jost," ho wrote dur
ing this time, " who knows but that I may
write my history with my sword ?" Very
soon after rejoining his connand, lie., was
'assigned a position on Gen. Hampton's staff.
But it is curious to mark how unsettled he
seemed to be about his future career, for ho
continued to review Coke and Blackstone as
energetically as he reviewed the troops, and
thought as much about admission to the bar
of Now Orleans as ho did about glory in the
field.
The Avar came at last in 1812, and Capt.
Scott -was promoted to the rank of Lieuten
ant Colonel, and ordered to the Niagara fron
tier. Here he witnessed his first battle—the
afihir of QUcenstown EDO - its—Where ho
commanded on the field during the latter
part of of the day, and greatly distinguished
bimSelf. In 'Consequence of the' cowardice
of. the American reserves, ho was taken pris
oner-with his whole command, but was soon
exchanged. Tho British, acting up to their
doctrine of " perpetual allegiance," which
had been a principle cause of the war, so,
haul the Irish and British-born prisoners
to bo sent to England and tried for treason;
but Col. Scott induced our Government to
udOpt such vigormis retaliative, measures that
the men Were released. In thO spring of
1813, ho returned to the frontier, with the
rank of Colonel and the position of 'chiof of
staff,, Gen. .DearborM commanded.
the American forces whiCh captured Fort
George, on the 27th of May, when he was
severely wounded. , He shared in the abOr-,
tivo froLtior campaign of'
,'" tluit un.rinc -
plod imbepile" (as ho 'usod..to call im;
Ykrllhinson, pnd when that was over; was
sent with the rank of Brigadier 'General, to
command a canip'of instruction at. Buffalo.
Tho value of his labors-in this placo was
Carlisle, Pa., Friday, June 29,,1866
strikingly displayed at the battle of 'Chip
pewa, July 4, 1814, when, after a long series
of" disasters, the American arms gained a
victory, small in itself, but most important
in its moral effect. In this engagement, as
well as in the well-fought battle of Lundy's
Lane, about three weeks afterward, Scott
had a gallant and prominent share. In the
latter action he was twice wrnded. Ho
was immediately brevetted Major-General,
and Congress ordered a gold medq to be
presented to him in testimony of their ap
preciation of his distinguished services, )4 ' and
of his uniform gallantry and good conduct
in sustaining the reptitation of the arms'of
the United States." Ho was offered' the post
of Secretary of war, but declined it. The
peace which soon ensued gave him an op
portunity to visit Europe, where he saw
Parts dui cho allied occupation, and made
many distinguished acquaintances. With
the exception of the publications of his
"General Regulations for the Army" in
1825, and ono or two personal quarrels , with
Gen. Jackson and others, which fortunately.
did not lead to hostile meetings; he did
nothing to bring himself much before the
public until the outbreak of the Black Hawk
war in 1832, when he was sent to the West
in command of an army, but had no oppor
tunity of fighting. During the nullification
troubles he commanded in Charleston. The
hostilities with the Seminole Indians in
Florida began in 1835, and Scott was or
dered to the theatre of war, but was soon
recalled and sent to the Creek country.
His campaign here too was brief, and was
closed by a court of inquiry, which decided
fully in his favor. He attributed the sum
moning of this court to the personal enmity
f Gen. Jackson. In 1841 he became Gen
eral-in-Chief, on the death of Gen. Macomb.
Passing over the difficulties arising from
the Canadian Rebellion in 1837, tho North-
Eastern boundry disputes in 1889, and the
removal of the Cherokees from Georgia, in
all which Gen. Scott rendered important
services to the Government, we come to the
war in which he was to reap his greatest
harvest of renown, and establish a reputa
tion as cue of the best of living soldiers.
The Mexican war opened in May, 1848,
with the battle of Palo and Reseal de
In Palma, followed by those of Monterey
and Buena Vista in September and Febru
ary--all won by Gen. Taylor. It was
evi
dent, after the storming of Monterey v that
hostilities, to be effective, must be carried
into the interim. of Mexico, and a new line
of operations Chosen, having the capital fur
its objective. The army for this task was
placed under the command of Gen. Scott,
who landed at Vera Cruz with 12,990 melt,
March 9, 1847 ; captured the city after a
bombardment of fifteen days; and on the
Bth of April began his march toward Mexi
co. The 'lights of Cerra Gordo, where
Santa Anna hod thrown his army across the
American's path were stormed with mag
nificent gallantry on the 18th : Jalapa was
taken on the 19th, Pei.ote on the 22nd,
and Puebla on May 15.
lere Gen. Scott was compelled to halt, and
wait for reinforcements until Aug. 7, when,
the troops having been well drilled and or
der restored in the conquered Provinces by
the rigorous enforcement of a code of laws
deduced from the articles of war and the
general criminal jurisprudence of 01011 tilted
States, ho resumed his march, and on the
10th reached Mexico. Santa Anna had not
been idle . . The city was strongly placed and
had been carefully fortified. Concealing his
movements by ademonstration from the east
ern side of the city, Scott transferred his
army suddenly to the south of it., and car
ried the convent, church, and fete de pont,of
Churubusco and the intrenched camp of
Contreras, held by Gen. Valencia with 7,000
picked men, beside a reserve of 12,000 under
Santa Anna. The city might now have
been taken, but it was deemed best to nego
tiate, and an armistice was granted, but
without any good result. At the beginning
of September, operations were resumed on,
the S. W. side of the city. The wooded
Lights of Chapultepec, with the Molino del
Roy and the Casa Mate; were stormed by
Worth, Quitman, and Pillow, September
13, and the same night the San Cosine and
Bolen gates wore carried after heroic fight
ing. The next morning the American army
entered the city in triumph, and the war_
was virtually at an end. The treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed March 2,
1818, and the troops soon afterward evacu
ated the capital, having won the esteem of
the citizens by their strict discipline and or
derly conduct.
Gen. Scott, of course, received a succes
sion of popular ovations on his return to the
United States, and the two Houses of Con
gress presented him with a joint resolution
of thanks. A motion was repeatedly intro
duced to confer upon him the brevet rank of
Lieutenant-General, but the opposition of
Mr. Jefferson Davis defeated it, and the
General did not receive this merited recogni
tion of his services until 1855. His conduct
in Mexico had also been criticised, and he
was forced at the very hour of his great vic
tory to undergo the mortification of a court
of inquiry, which fully exonerated him, af
ter a long investigatiOn. Ho was a. candi
date for nomination in the Whig Presiden
tial Convention, in 1848, but Gon. Taylor
was 'preferred to him. Ho was nominated
by the Whig party in 1852, and received 1,-
386,580 votes, against 1,601,274 for tho suc
cessful candidate, Gon. Pierce, though he
carried only four States—MassachusettEb
Vermont, Kentucky and Tennessee. In
1850 ho was ordered to our extreme North
Western froptior, to settle, a disputed ques
tion of boundary with the British authori
ties of Vancouver's Island.
The outbreak of the Rebellion found Gen
eral Scott still at the head of the Army, but
infirm in health and no, longer_ capable of
directing an active campaign. But ho was
frequentlian consultation 'with the Cabinet
and military authorities at Washington.,
As early as October, 1860, he had urged

OUr readers will remember the' controversy'
~..kthese matters-which took place between
him and ex-President Buchanan some time
afterwards.. On the 3d of March, 1861, he
'addressed to 'Mr. Seward a note of, advice,
in which .he Arged him, is the probable
chlif member .of the ' , new Cabiriet,- to
throw off the old designation of Republicans
and assume that of the Union party; to
radopt the 'Crittenden Comrromise, and to
collect the import duties outside the ports
of which the Government had lost the
com
mand, or else to blockade them. He want
ed no war in any case, and concluded with
these words: "Say to the seceded States—
" Wayward sisters, depart in peace."

relations with Great Britian, arising spit of
the seizure of Mason and Slidell, induced
him to hasten home for the purpose of using
his influence with the Administration in the

lie owed such political prominence as he
attained entirely to his military success.
Re was an "old Whig," according to his
own showing, though he had a holy hatred
of Abolitionists, and with all his sterling
patriotism he had no sympathy with the
Republican party. In the election of 1860
1m sided with the Bell and Everett, faction.
The General was a magnificent man phys
ically, of almost gigantic stature, powerful
and well proportioned frame, and dignified
nspc ct. His stately manners inclined now
and then toward pomposity, and his acknowl
edged greatness in his own profession made
him often intolerent; but he wits universally
respected for his sterling virtues no less
than for his public services. He spoke his
mind so freely about, the people lie disliked
that he had enemies everywhere, hut pri
vate feuds will never be able to displace
him from his exalted position lie holds in
the respect and gratitude of the American
People.
Gem Scott was married in IRIG to Miss
Maria .111nyo, of Richmond, Va., who died
in Rome in 1131;2. There were, sevenchil

A Pon Picture of Thaddeus Ste-
yens
Thaddeus Stevens is just coming in from
his committee•room, and looks so feeble, the
great old man, it makes me sorry. The men
abroad who assail him with such ferocity, ii
they could see hint now, would be quite dis
armed. His spirit is not bated, his sarcasm
cuts as keenly as ever, his wit dashes as
brightly, his great intellect seems in no wise
dimmed ; yet the hand of Tines lies heavy
upon him. The will which never swerves,
which always conquers and rules men, is
powerless to resist the•pressure of pain and
the intirmity of age. Although nu casual
observer would think it Thaddeus Stevens
iS over seventy years of age. A comely wig
robs hint of the hoary crown which always
hallows the head of age, His face in out
line approaches the Indian Type. The
square, pereeplive brow, the deeply-set eyes,
the high cheek-bones, the broad jaw and
saturnine mouth are most marked. The
ace in repose is stern, but not savage. The
"sardonic smile" that we read so much a
bout is a very human and kindly smile, af
ter all. Thaddeus Stevens' inimitable sar
casm and wit seem purely intellectual gifts,
flames of the head, free from all smoke of
personal malice. He will say the most sav
age things of a man's dots or opinions, with
out one emotion of ill will toward the man.
lie will annihilate a member in a speech,
and then, clapping him on the shoulder, ask
the discomfited brother to go with him to,
lunch. You hear of his many kindly deeds
from those who know him best; of the gen
tle charities which blossom along his private
path, of the many poor boys whqm he has
lifted from poverty and obscurity to give
them help and a motive in life. For many
years he has been a power in the nation, a
leader in the House, marshal;ng in the van
the hosts of liberty. No man is more eager
ly listened to. No man perhaps would be
so positively missed if he were to pass for
ever from the Congressional Hall. He has
stood here so long, his intellect is so power
ful, his personality so positive. his utterances
so unique, his spirit so masterful, his mom
ory will not pass away with his presence,
nor his name with his generation.
He is one whose sayings will live long af-
for him. His jeweled witticisms will be set
in many at 3poech, and gleam in many a
Congress,-when the brain which gave them
birth .hitts'gono back to dust. But the old
lion of tho Houso is fighting his last battles.
Ono who has fought so long and so bravely
dues not like to confess that he is at list
worsted by Time—that oven ho has found a
conqueror. To have lived in the world, to
have been with it, and of it so long, to lova
it only to leave it, how hard. To a heart
broken by its own burdens, death comes a
healing and consolation ; but to a man who
has sought to find the satisfaction of life in
public spheres, whose activities have been
expended on the issues of the age, while the
grand problems of his time remain unsolved,
and the cast• victories of the future yet un

At Washingt9n
Mr. Tilton, editor of the Independent, is
in Washington writing interesting letters
to his paper. From his last letter we take
an extract referring to some of the promi
nent men of Congress. Ho first speaks of
the Senate:
What is the hour? Twelve o'clock! It
is time for the session to commence. That
dignified personage in non-confederate gray,
ascending the platform, is Mr. Foster, from
Connecticut, President of the Senate—one
of the most courteous and Christian gentle
men at Washington. The Chaplain invo
kes God's blessing, which more Senators
need than are present to ask for. Members
ot Congress do their praying through their
Chaplain, and their swearinweth'emselves.
Nevertheless, with all their fardta, the maj
ority of the Senators aro men of whom their
country has a just right to be proud. That
rose-carpeted arena is the scone of many a
noble word and deed. Who is the Senate's
leader ! Properly speaking no one. Several
gentlemen are leaders by turn ; on ono side,
Fessenden, Sumner, Trumbull, Wilson ; on
the other. Hendricks and Roverdy John
son; and midway between, Doolittle and
Kansas Lane, both of whom have now
enough to do to keep track of their devious
selves. But I believe that, on the whole,
Fessenden has more continuous influence in
the Senate than belongs to any other Sena
tor. -Ho is the best debater in the body—a
complete parliamentarian a recognized
authority on many and various subjects ot
leg elation—and an incorruptible man If
he were less conservative, and more bold,
he would approach my ideal of an American
legislator. Sumner is the rhetoilcian of
Congress—the oratorical essayist par excel
lence. He elaborates his sentences with
great diligence before delivery, and accord
ingly his 4peeches toll less on the Senate
than on the country. Wilson prepares more
bills than any of his co-legislators—an in
stump speeches, travelled more miles in
campaigning, and slept in more houses than
any other living American. Gratz Brown,
of Missouri, is ft slender, fragile man,
statuesque in feature, calm in demeanor,
and unwavering in moral courage—a true
son of liberty, and one of the foremost
young men on the land. Judge Trumbull
(who in point of looks might pass for an
elder brother of Speaker Colfax) is famous
as an analytical reasoner, and is deservedly
at the head of the Judiciary Committee.
Gov. Grimes, of lowa, who speaks little
and accomplishes much, is one of the pillars
against whom weaker men lean and are
propped into strength.
The House of Representatives is a body
of younger men than the E;enate, and fresh
er from the people. Accordingly it is easier
to carry a radical measure through the low
er than the Upper House. The oldest and
youngest Representative is one and the same
person, and his name is 'Thaddeus Stevens—
n unique, unequalled and titanic old man,
whose only in telleetual betrayal of advanced
age a lack of that steel spring of hopefulness
which is made of the fibre of lounger
heroes.
Gov. flontwen, of Massachusetts, is an
admirable specimen . of a legislator —a man
W11,,50 perpetual employment ought to be the
public business.
Roscoe Conkling, of New York, is strong,
positive and critical, and in many respects,
reminds ono of the noblest '!4pirits of these
times. •
Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, is the
most frequent orator of the House.
Shellabarger and Bingham, both of Ohio,
are among the finest minds in Congress.
Perhaps a greater number of distinguished
men, whether in judicial, legislative or mili
tary ine, haul trom Ohio than troin any
other State in the Union.
McKee, of Kentucky, is the crown jewel
of his delegation. But none of the mem
bers from the Southern States have distin
guished themselves on the floor of the House
during this session. High and central over
the debates rise a fond mannered gentle
man, after whom three hundred ha hies (none
of his own) have been named by admiring
mothers in the South Bend District of In

CLYM R AND THE SOLDIERS.
He Votes Against Giving Them In
creased Pay.
The opposition of the Copperhead leaders
to the soldiers during the war is well known.
It amounted to intense hatred. They could
not look upon a blue coat without stigma
tising the wearer as one of "Lincoln's hire
lings," _They opposed every measure for
the increase of the Union army, or for the
comfort, protection, and increase of remun
eration of those in the service. Hon. }lies
ter Milner, not merely as an indiVi . dual, but
as a Senator of Pennsylvania shared this
feeling. On th;e 2,tid of April, 1864, on a
vote to secure increased pay to the Soldiers,
every 'Domecrat,' Senator Clymer included,
(except Kinsey of Bucks,) voted nay. We

so Constituents. As Clymer led, his sup

people of Burks county on the question of
giving the Soldiers a vote. We advise our
aanders to cut out this vote, and put it by
for future reference. Let it be kept before
the people to the lasting honor of the dis

the lasting disgrace of those districts that
opposed them. Hero is the vote:

handsome majorities in favor of the Sol

eight, gave majorities against the Soldiers.
The heaviest so-called Democratic. Districts
in Berks gave the heaviest majorities against
the Soldiers. We ask our gallant Berke
county Veterans to scan this vote closely,
and when they conic to vote, next October,
let them pay back ex-Senator Clymer, and

REMARKS OF CAPTAIN A.
BOYD HUTCHISON,
On the resolutionS offered by Colonel Bayne,
of Allegheny in the Convention of soldiers
held in Pittsburg, June 6th, 1866.
Col. Bayne of Allegheny of the fol
lowing as an amendment to the report of
the Committee on ,Resolutions :
Resolved, That the loyal majority in
Congress deserves our gratitude; that rad
ical evils require radical remedies; and that
the nation should take no step backward in
her march to the grand destiny that surely
awaits unfaltering and persistent adheaence
to the cause of equal freedom."
13=1
Mr. President, and Gentlemen :—I rise
to advocate the adoption of the resolution
proposed by the gentlemen from Allegheny.
I am heartily devoted to its sentiments, and
I am convinced that it fitly, though perhaps
not fully, represents the feelings of this
Convention.—lt never becomes a body of
Intelligent and independent men to hesitate
to declare to all the world what are their
real views of any question, legitimately
within the scope of their considoration.—
We have an opinion on this question of
Reconstruction. Our fellow citizens, to a
very great extent, look to us an the political
phases`of public administration, and-especi
ally when those questions, more immediate
ly the result of tne changes of, war, are
under discussion. The great question which
divides Congress..and the President is not
a question of details. It is not a dispute
as to whether loyal representatives' shall be
adinitted:to Congress or not.. It is whether
the legislatiVe authority of the United
States is invested with the supreme control,
under the Constitution, of the question of
the representation of these rebel states. The
President denies the right of Congress to
legislate on thin or , any . subject, without
joining the representatives., of these lately
rebellious, and still disloyal, states in their
deliberations. The sentiments of these rep
resentatives of the soldiers of Pennsylvania,
and of the soldiers here and everywhere
condemn unhositateingly this assumption
of tlie President. [Apptquse]: We know
that fact.gentlemen. • There is not no of
,us, who does not feel:ready;• - indlgtiantly - , - to
reject the idea that the' rebels, whom . we
- defeated - at sueh - cost :of effort, blood and
treasure, 'are to. be immediately:invested
with the same, or greater political power
than ouriielves,:and sit down.with us in the
Connells of the-nation'te-help-Accide upon

clearest.victories, ,earned, tbo right to. deter,:
miniti.,.M.tars],.!Tow gentlemen, if these be
out nentimeats; what reason, can be nrgridf,o
• induce us tdconceal them. We are seldibist,
We paiirea - Otit'ho;o • the moat Onaiderablo
and importnnt body,of men , in the cilinmon
wealth,- the Men wholinve covered tbe state
with the glory of the 'noblest achievemebts
of freemen, the men who sere independent
of little prejudices, controlled by the load
ings of ,timid politicians andwho expect us
here to declare our real ' opinions, without
hesitation, and in ditiregard of the opinions
of those who may not happen to agree with
us. We have not assembled here in Pitts
burg for nothing. This great Convention
of able, brave, independent arid patriotic
men are not hero to follow the bidding of
any man or class of men. We came here
to consult as to our duty as citizens in the
present grave crisis in public affairs Let
us send forth a declaration of political sen
timents that oannot
represented. If we have not done so clearly
and emphatically in the resolutions of the
Committee just adopted, and gentlemen seem
to think we have not, then let us put the
qu stion of our position upon reconstruction
beyond all doubt by this endorsement of
Congress. The objection urged is that we
shall offend Andrew Johnson and his friends
and lose their-votes for Geary. Gentlemen,
if the price of their support, like that of their
patronage, is the endorsethent of their
" policy" honor requires that we should
forego it. [Applause] We do not endorse
it. In our hearts we are opposed to it. Are
we then to be coaxed, or driven or wheedled
into, occupying a position which would for
feit for ourselves the respect of all honor
able men? We are against Andrew John
son. Let us say so, [Applause.] Who and
what is he, that ive.shouid hesitate to speak
our minds of him? We made him all he is.
But for us and our comrades he would be to
day and exile from the land of his birth.
We have elevated him to high trusts, in
confidence in his integrity. Providence has
been pleased to punish us by permiting him
to attain 'to greet power and to reward us
with treachery and the betrayal of oar
CHUM
NO, 26.
These being our sentimenls—shall we con
ceal them.? No I If Andrew Johnson has
betrayed us, let us' denounce him. [Ap
plause.] lie deserves •no less and we can
afford to defy his power and his patronage.
Then ken demen let us consider who are toe
Congress we propose to endorse. We made
that too. It was chosen by the same votes
that milled to our chief command fur it
second time the great leader and patriot
whose loss was the gravest calamity ever
dieted upon our nation. No man then
thought of raising a question as to its legal
right to legislate fur the whole country. No
man to-day questions the authority of a
President chosen to the Vice Presidency
under the same conditions. Those States
were then open acknowledged, belligerent
foes. What has occurred to change their
character, since? Did our conquering them
make friends of our foemen 7 Did it make
lovers of liberty of the champions of slavery ?
I can see no ditferem ce in their position, ex
cept that betwisrm a defiant and a conquered
enemy. Ido not think it follows that a de
feated traitor becomes by consequence a
loyal citizen. I contend that it rests there
fore with the Congress of the United States
acting in its legislative capacity, in connec
tion with the President, to determine the
conditions of the restoration of political pow
er to these States. Until they settle these
questions the attempt to reinstate the repre-
. .
slum' to iiiak laws for us, is an insult to
loyal men, to the soldiers who vindicated
the sovereignty of the people of the United
States, and, when attempted by Andrew
Johnson, is a usurpation. [Applause.] I
know this conventionagr
es with me in
these opinions. I know there is not a man
in it who has a particle of respect for An
drew Juhnsuu. I know there is not a man
of intelligence anywhere, of any political
ullilatiun whatever, who has in his heart
real respect for the President. [Cheers.] All
I ask them is t'. at we say plainly what we
mean. I do not ask this convention to pin
their political faith to any man. 1 do nut
ask it to express my individual opinions. I
am a radical. I believe in universal, im
partial suffrage. Ido nut suppose that this
convention dues. Hence Ido nut ask it to
say so. If I believed it did, I would urge
it to have the independence to avow it. But
what excuse is there for soldiers, it they tall
to say frankly the thing they mean. You
are in favor of the policy of Congress and
against the pyliey of the President. It does
nut become us to conceal the fact, A sol
dier's cenventi n should speak undisguised
ly. It would be totally inconsistent with
fairness, and the honesty and frankness of
our soldierly character, if the action of this
convention should be of such a character as
to enable men to dispute as to the sentiments
it enunciates. . If I can take these resolu
tions which we have adopted, and go up , n
platform before an audience of my fellow
citizens, and argue the cause of Congress
and quote their endorsement. and you, sir,
call follow me and argue as strongly for the
cause of the President, his .• policy," then
we had better nut have come here, and our
action is a matter of no significance what
ever. But it we have courage, us I believe
we have, to say [early where wu are, we shall
find that our opinions have real significance
in the eyes of our fellow Citizens, and their
bold and honest expression will attract hon
est and brave men to our side. Our doing
so will do no harm and will cost Gen. Geary
no votes. An'ilrew Johnson and his friends
are his enemies at any rate. They will du
all they can, whatever we may do, to defeat
film. We can only
unu aeionding their policy, waft u we will
not di. It is simply so tar as me pulley of
it is concerned, a question, wheiher we shall
recognize and denounce them as open toes,
or permit them to continue their plottings
inside our lines. [Applause.] 1 do nut
stop to inquire, whether the 6iiiteq, which
those gentlemen who were so anxious - to see
enabled to get out of tne Union a low years
ago, are now in the Union or not.
I do not discuss words and their mean
ing here. We do know that these people
deliberately and defiantly, withdrew their
Representatives from Congress, and their
Representatives are not yet back in Con
gress. They shall not resume their places
there, until the power that was victor in the
war shall define the conditions of our future
relationship, and the people who ma le all
this misery show a willingness to guarantee
us against repetition of the crime. [Ap
plause] The soldiers of the State have ucen
represented as conservative. I believe they
are radical ; ready to carry out their pirtnei
pies to their logical conclusion. If so, lot
us so declare, and go forw rd to accomplish
fully the work our country demands shall
be done.
This resolution embodies our sentiments.
It might be much stronger in its expression,
and offend no prejudice among soldiers, who
are more independent of old prejudices than
anyother class of men, but as it is,
it suits
all of us. Let us adopt it then, and disre
gard the questionable policy, which recom
mends to soldiers any concealment of their
sentiments.
•
After further discussion the resolution was
adopted by an almost unanimous vote and
amidst groat enthusiasm.
A Spiritualist, called Eliza Guidon, has
been stopping for some time at Stuttgart,
who pretends to have the clearest insight
into past, present,, and future. Not long
ago, however, she fell into great perplexity
and wrath, for being asked whether Csesar'S
spirit was present, she made affirmative an
swer, and declared herself ready to serve
as a medium between spirit and audience.
Thereat the inquirer lifted up his, voice;
and in the Latin tongue, addres;ed many,
questions to the presumed ghost.. Otepar

.Wise in his classics and could mak% re

of her success. •
