April 0,1860.:
A Poetical Incident in the Career of
Maj. Gen. J. W. Geary.
Shortly after tho arrival of the troops sent West un
der General Hooker, Gen. Goary, of Penna., was loading
some regimental fragments to the post of duty assigned
them. Tho Western regiments they pasied on the road
had, most of them, their full complomont of men, and
sneeringly asked, loud enough to ho hoard, "'Do they
call these regiments 1" General Geary halted his column,
and pointing to the battlellog of tho regiment nearest
to him, spoke in language much like tho following:
Scarcely a child, yet scarcely a woman,
Mary Kendall stood there in her white silk
and orange-blossoms, with the sunlight from
the old church window falling upon her as
if she had been some sweet mediteval saint.
And Colonel Medham, as he held hor
hand in his, end listened to the solemn
words that joined them together, now and
for ever more, felt that his cup of happiness
was full to the very brim.
"My wife, my dear little child-wife." he
said, tenderly, when they led her away to
remove the white vail and fragrant waxen
blossoms, in order that she might don her
quieter traveling dress'.
And Mary's blue eyes, clear and liquid as
the June firmament mirrored in a clear
woodland spring, answered him without the
need 'of words.
year-old bride. Her hair was of a warm
gold, rippling in little shining wavelets, and
you might trace every blue vein on the
transparent snow of her temples, while the
little rosebud of a mouth, breaking into
smiles at every happy thought, was perfect
in its outline.

For those who carry yonder flag
So soiled and scarred and torn ;

And rend a record there,
Which, were you bravest of the bravo,
You might be proud to boar.
Why, boys, that regiment when flrat
It answered bugle call
Had full a thousand throbbing hearts,
And valiant were they all :
I've seen them when, with wild hurrah,
They charged the rebel foe
Upon our Eastern battle-flehia,
And that's what thinned them so I
We come not to tho West to learn
From you the art of war,
On many a hard contested field

And give our lives, if needs must be, •
For the laud we love the best.
Remember, 'though our ranks are thin
From conflicts shared before,
Those left are veterans, and count
Their battles by the neoro ;
Their comratlos sleep at Gettysburg
And Fredef ictibut g I wren,
And on the many bloody fields
That lie the way between.
I do not tell a flattering tale,
ThOIMICIVefI they'd scorn to boast,
But those who're seen them oft'nost fight
Are those who praise them most ;

THE WIDOWED BRIDE.
Yes, she was very lovely, that sixteen
Was it strange that Colonel Medham
scarce believed it possible that he, the
bronzed, middle-aged man, with grave eyes
and serious aspect, could have won this ex
quisite human blossom to gladden his heart
and home?
Was it strange that ho looked on his hap
piness us a dream from which ho might at
any 111011101 a a waken ?
" Of course it is merely a money match.
Any ono with half an eye could see through
Colonel Medham started as the words fell
on his ear, but the unconscious speaker,
standing just within the doorway of an ad
joining room, went on:
" She don't care a pin for him personally
she merely wants his money; but ho is too
blind "
And the voice died away in the buzz of
many other voices
Ono instant Colonel Medham stood there,
pale and motionless, like a person stricken
with the hand of death. And in that in
stant his resolve was taken.
" Where is my husband ?"
The very blood mounted to Mary Med
ham's cheek as she—the wifo of a single,
sunny hour— spoke the questioning words.
" Call Algernon, mamma—tell him I am
quite ready."
Phu:looked - sweeter:in - her:traveling - dress
than sho had looked in all the gleam of
pearls and snow-white silk—the fair little
creature.
"If you please, ma'am," said a .rough
looking man, carelessly elbowing his way
through the crowd, " hero's a noto for Mrs.
liilcdb am."
Mary broke the seal with a transient thrill
of curiosity.
"I may as'woll road it while I wait for
Algernon," she thought. "How strange!
this is Alger son's own writing!"
( 1 11ARY-I hoard your Uncle Sinclair's
words, just now—that you cared not forme,
but for my money solely. It is yours, Un

Mary uttered a hYw cry,,as she clung to

Carlisle, Pa., Fruyty, August 31, 1866
The kind hearted old stago-driver pulled
the warm robes elorier around the wasted
figure in the corner, ero he mounted to hill
seat, muttering to himself:
'" Ho isn't fit to travel, nohow. I don't
see what his folks could ha' been thinking
of to let him go away from hum. Fever, I
s'pose I Well, there's no 'countin' for some
folk's freaks I"
Algernon Medham—so weak .and faint
that' the wintry stars above seemed blurs of
light against the blue-black concave—lay
back and indulged in melancholy thought.
" Homeward bound at last ! And can it
be possible that
.I am coming home only to
die ? Well Winley churchyard is a sweet
and peaceful spot—perhaps it is well. I
would rather be buried when the fragrance
of tho violets that purple Medham Park
shall be wafted over my lonely grave by thai
earliest spring winds. I may as well die in
the little vilfage•inn. I would not darken
Mary's bright life with the shadow of death.
Perhaps she has married some happier man
—if so, I will perish as I have lived, and
make no sign. Yet I would like once more
to see her, the sweet mistress of Modham
Park."
Ho roused from his gloomy, half delerious
reverie, at what seemed the echo of his own
words, from two young men who wore chat
ting carelessly on the 'opposite seat.
*'llledharn Park I It is the finest old
place in the country, and a very pretty ro
mance hangs over its beautiful lady."
"How do you mean ?"
" Did you never hear ? Mrs. Medhain
was deserted by her husband—"
" No —never deserted !"
The words broke almost involuntarily
from the sick man's white lips, in a husky
whisper that was quite inaudible to the
speakers
" Within an hour of their marriage,
in consequence of a strange misunderstand
ing. IL BOOMS that a redacts.° of LICTS was
speaking of some mariage de convcnancc that
had recently transpired, in the bridegroom's
hearing, and he rashly concluded the terms
applied to him. From that moment to this
ha has never been heard of."
" A romance indeed. And the bride?"
" Remains a widowed bride, in truth, and
indeed to this very hour. She dwells alone
at Medham Park, devoted entirely to his
memory. If all we hear is true she must
have loved him with a depth of affection that
is as rare as it is admirable."
And from that the conversation strayed
to other topics, and neither noticed the
strange expression on the invalid's white
face.
" lore we are, sir. At which hotel shall
I leave you?"
" Neither. Let rue be driven up to the
Park. , '
" The Park, sir?"
" Yes—the Park !"
low strangely his footfall sounds on the
volstut oaspot of the ato.bc:ly
doors were open as he came forward leaning
on a servant's arm.
Ah I six years have altered her but little,
and, watchful as ever, she sat by the ruddy
glitter of the fire, her golden curls falling
in a shower of brightness on her deep
mourning dress, and on the flushed cheek
resting on her hand.
On her lap lay open his own picture—the
picture he had given her in the sweet
courting days."
" Mary !"
She looked up, vaguely—this was most
probably but one of the fevered fancies that
had so often led into agonized disappoint-
MEI
" Mary—my wife!"
" Oh, Algernon!"
Now, indeed, she knew that it was her
husband's self I And springing to her feet,
she burst into hysterical tears and laughter
on his breast.
The years of patient waiting—the long
ordeal of sweet submission—were rewarded
at last.
And when the violets of spring-time pur
pled the sunny slopes of Medham Park, the
sweet odors floated across no nameless grave,
but fanned tho forehead of a happy husband,
whose fair wife gathered them as she walked
by his side, with eyes that were full of un
spoken bliss.
From Harper's Weakly August 25
THE PRESIDENT JUDGED BY
HIMSELF.
No event since the end of the war has so
profoundly moved the country as the mas
sacre at Now Orleans, and none of the cir
cumstances connected•with it have been re
garded with more painful surprise than the
action of the President. Ever since the
meeting of Congress last December ho has
strenuously insisted that the late robot States,
by conforming to certain terms which be
had named, without consultation with Con
gress, *wore fully restored` to their . equal re
lations in the,Union with the loyal_ States.
He has publicly denounced Senators and
Representatives its traitors and disunionists
because they did not agree with' him. He
has vetoed the most important bills .passed
by Congress, assigning among his reasons
in every instance that legislation during the
exclusion from representation of the States
in question was of , doubtful constitutionality.
Ho has uniformity spoken of those States as
no longer in an exceptional "situation, in
sisting that war was over, that all its moth
od.4 -were at an' end, and that nothing re
mained to completelhe normal condition of
the Union but the adMiselon of representa
tives duly qualified.
Louisiana is one of those States. Tho
President told us that it was upon exactly
the same footing hi' the Union as Now York,
and was to bo treated by the national
au
thorities exactly as New York is treated.
Hi) had, recognized its local, State Govern
mitt as no loss valid and independent with
in Its constitutional sphere than that of Now
and'however opinions as to the con
stitutionality or good• policy or. common
sense of his views• may have differed, no
ono, - we stipfiose; doubted tba 'they were
,sincoroly held• - ritia would . liorieetlY - control
his. action.•

Da , the President' has suddenly shown
that,- while he denounces the Legislative
- hraneh' of the Government'as
or treasonablii for not 'assenting to his theory,
deed not,Meaa by At
aintA'iLe and hie supporters araiKferously
eUsin... Congrorio of rovolutioriary
tions , becauso it does not immediatelyliecog
nize what' be calls the lhwful'represontatives
of Lobisiana, he himself calls to account
and peremptorily disregards the Governor
of Louisiana, whom ho has recognized ns
lawful Governor as much as Governor
FENTON, of New York. He:does in that
State what ho knows would not be for a
moment tolerated in this.
On the 21st of July the President issues
the following extraordinary-Order to the
Governor of Louisiana, who, let it be re
membered, he assorts is the peer of the
Governor of Pennsylvania, of Massachusetts,
of Illinois, or of any other State. " / have

Please inform me under and by what au
thority this has been done, and by what au
thority this Convention can assume to repre
lasitt the whole people of the State of Louisi
ana." Thio is the order of a superior to a
subordlhate'agent7 This is a message which
the commander-in-chief may properly send
to a provisional lieutenant. But it is a
message which the President of the United
States has no more rightful authority to
send to the Governor of New York than
the Queen of England has. And when
such a missive is forwarded by a President
who haS been for month; tediously reiterat
ing that the rights of the States are in im
minent danger of being destroyed by des
potic centralization it is both ludicrous and
alarming; ludicrous, because the executive
act is such a ridiculous contryidiction of the
executive assertion ; and alarming, because
it shows either the President's incapacity
to comprehend the liMits of the executive
power, or his determination to disfegard
them at his pleasure.
Tho President's •' policy" thus proves to
be the President's pleasure. When it is
convenient for him to treat a State - as fully
in the Union the President's " policy" re
quires us to assent. When it is convenient
to consider it as under absolute military
supervision the President's " policy" re
quires us to say Amen. If the President
blows hot, we must agree that it is warm. If
ho blows cold, we must declare it is exceed
ingly chilly. If he denounces Congress as
revolutionary for not recognizing the repre
sentatives of Louisiana, wo must beg him
to sweep it out of the Capitol. If he turns
on his heel and refuses to recognize the
Governor of Louisiana we must vow that
he is the saviour of the Constitution.
The whole melancholy history justifies
Congress. It has steadily refused to act
upon a visionary theory, " a pernicious ab
straction." Familiar with the causes of the
war, understanding the vast social convul
sions that always attend so fierce a struggle,
and knowing that statesmanship deals with
facts, it has not foolishly supposed that
every thing was settled because insurgents
had laid down their arms, nor assumed that
Sfrces still quivering wan natreu uuu eos
tility could be admitted to a share in the
Government without patient inquiry and
deliberation. It has asked only that the
facts be ascertained, not,assumed. Without
hostile emotion, without vindictiveness, it
has required that no State deliberately with
drawing its representatives, in order to des
tray the Government, shall claim to have
them readmitted except upon terms of rea
sonable precaution, and that rebellion shall
be rewarded by increased political power.
Whether Congress, in its prudent care, is
less patriotic, constitutional, and reasonable
than the President in his immoderate haste—
whether its'calm and consistent policy is not
as respectful of just State rights as the
capricious, arbitrary, and utterly illogical
and inconsistent conduct of the President—
whether, in settling a civil war, it is more
revolutionary to deprive a State of its na
tional repesentation until it conforms to
reasonable terms, than to deprive it of its
local government at the executive pleasure—
are questions upon which we believe there
is very little difference among the loyal peo
ple of tiro United States.

Pomeroy's Soliloquy
A Kentucky correspondent sends 'the fol
lowing to the Cincinnati Commercial, con
cerning Pomeroy, of the La Crosse Demo
crat.
LEXINGTON, Ky., July 19, 1866
The rebel papers of Kentucky are publish
ing various soliloquies written by Brick"
Pomeroy, who edits a dirty paper in the
Northwest. Here follows a soliloquy spo
ken by Pomeroy himself:
"Brick" Pomcroy's Soliloquy.—What a
liar lam I Humbug, cheat, toady, knave,
lick-spittle and sneak I I know it; the peo
ple know it ; God knows it. Great God
what a snob!
7, a Northern man ; yea, a Connecticut
man constantly reviling Yankees; constantly
reviling my parents, my kinfolk, and every
body who nursed me in helpless infancy I I
have lied un all sorts of occasions, in all sorts
of ways, and in all sorts of type. From my
own depraved mind I have pictured my op-
i:nents. With the slime which citifies from,
my foul tongue, have I bespattered my; bet
ters. I have befouled my own nest to ob
tain a grin from th : slave-drivers.
What a dirty bird I am.—When my cou
try was in peril, I reyiled her defenders, and
applauded her assassins. Too cowardly to
become an active traitor, I discouraged en
listments in the Union army. I traduced
our Generals and maligned our soldiers. I
rejoiced when the great and good men of the
nation died, and I blasphemed God's holy
name to win repect from rebels.
Did I win it!—No ! A thousand times,
no. Every instinct of my nature answers in.
thunder tones, NO I They desOse me, and
spurn me as a "dirty bird." Every decent
man, woman and child in the United Stittes
must despise me. 1 despise myself. Oive
me some whisky ; it. drowns the whisperings
BEM
Aint I a brick? Of course I am. EverY l
body calls me "Brick Pomeroy." I'm a
brave man! I do the dirty work which
others shrink from aghast. I am the vol
unteer scavenger of the groat Democratic
party. I do its lying, its dirt-eating, and
its pimping. But I urn braver than com
mon bagnio pimps, for they dare not• pub
lish mine every day in the Democrat, and
people laugh at it.
Oh! I'm a " brick." —I. wonder what
made Prentice cull me a " brick" Lla l ha!
A brick ! How people are humbugged.
They take my paper.
What For I—l know; they take it for its
monstrosity and indecency. They take it
on the same principle that they go to see
five-legged calves and , two-headed babies.
They went to see how deep a Connecticut
Yankee can dive into the cesspool of politics
and bring up with his teeth what a .decent
man would not touch with a pole. They
want to read my blasphemous remarks
abouethe death of the late President of the
United Slates. They like to see me crouch
and crawl between the legs of Southern men,
and lick the dust from Southern feet,. They
like to read my articles about Northern
men, because they know 1 write from a
copy indelibly stamped upon my own black
heart.
Bah what a sneak I am. A " brick '
orsooth !
Yes, I am a brick that ought to be laid in
a pavement, so that all upright beings could
tread upon me, and spit in my face. 1
ought to be placed in a flue of a soap factory,
or broken into bats to throw at mad dogs.
(.4.! What a detestable pimp lam ! lam
a libel upon mankind. I am a living re
proach to the mother that bore me. lam a
standing shame to the father who begot me.
I am a chronic disgust to the community in
which I live. A pimple on its nose. A
louse.-in its head. An ulcer in its ear. A
rotten tooth in its mouth. A stye in its eye.
A wolypus in its nose. I am its itch, its
piles, its leprosy, and its fistula in ano. In
short, I am " Brisk" Pomeroy.

dier
The following dialogue recently occurred
between a Union soldier and a companion in
arms who adhered to the Copperhead organ
ization :
" Why don't you join the Boys in Blue ?'
"That crowd don't suit me. I'm a Dam
ocrat."
" Well, so was I before the war, but I've
no fumy now to let the rebels whom we
whipped on tho,battle-Ileld triumph at the
polls: I'll vote as 1 fought, against JEJ ! 'I , .
DAVIS and all hie crew, and so should every
faithful Union soldier." • •
" I've heard that tall before; before; but I toll
you I'M a Demodiat, and so was my father
hefore me; and desert My party any
More :than I deserted the ranks."
'."Your having been a Democrat in old
times is, no reason why you should give

" You're not bound to stand by anything
or anybody but your country. and when
your Democratic leaders turn against it you
should turn against them."
" Now look here, you can't make that
out. We went to fight for " the Union as
it was and the Constitution as it is,' and
I'm going to stand by that same old doc
trine. It's the Radidals that's traitors now,
and the Democrats that's Union men and
patriots. That's the ground that CLYMER
takes in his speeches. Ho said at Reading
that he was .bound to fight 'secession and
rebellion.' The whole thing has v ,lgot mixed
up. Now, since we whipped the rebels,
your party won't let them back in the Union,
and that makes them just as bad Cs the first
secessionists."
"Do you think that a chestnut horse is the
same thing as n horse chestnut? If you do, -
you'll find out the difference when you take
them to market; and that it is not greater
in proportion that the difference between
the secession you at.d I risked our lives to
subdue while liinsTEß CLYMER opened up
a fire in our rear, and the thing ho denounces
as secession in his speeches. When rebel
bullets were flying thick around us. and our
comrades were falling on every side, or if
captured were reserved for a fate more hor
rible than immediate death in the pi icon
pens of Libby, Belle Me and Andersonsille,
what mockery it would have been to tell us
that the sole or principal object for,. which
we were confronting danger was that the
enemies firing into our ranks might be again
installed in 'he Federal Capitol to make
laws for, and
.with the aid of Northern Cop
perheads, to rule and persecute the loyal
people of the whole United States I If that
was so, we might as well have staid at
home, for it was scarcely worth while to
fight to fasten a chain around our own
New Creek Banner
necks. No. We fought to establish the
authority of the Federal Government over
the seceding States, and when this was ac
complished, and defiant treason crushed, our
hope and expectation was that loyal men
should govern the heritage we had regained.
But the rebels had no sooner been vanquish
ed in fair warfare than the treachery of
ANDnEw JOHNSON, and the promises of
their Northern allies, inspired the hope that
by a new flank movement the lost cause'
might still triumph, and, after losing Rich
mond, virtually remove the capital of the
Confederacy to Washington. That's the
plan now, as plain as the nose on your hive;
and there is not a rebel in the land, North
or South, that don't _buckle over it and
work hard for its success. As they combine
to support it, We should unite to Crll,ll it, if
wo wish to pe.rpetuate the fruits of our vic
tories."
"The Southern States ought to get back
in the Union some time, though, for all tliat
and we've no right to keep them out."
"They could get back easily enough if
they showed sincere repentance for their
treason and gave guarantees against a repe
tition of their war on loyal men and loyal
interests„ Let them pas t a. the constitutional
amendment, and form is al State govern
ments, like that in Tennessee, and like her
they can gain admission for their Senators
and Congressmen."
"I don't believe in tinkering at the Con—
stitution. Why do you want to change it ?"
"Because that is the only practical way of
making a permanent treaty of peace with
the rebel States, and the only way of adapt
ing the government of the country to the
changed condition produced by the war.—
You know that while we were in camp,
lIIEYTEa CLYMER and the Copperheads in
voting at all, and the State constitution was
changed to give soldiers the right of suit rage.
If the Federal Constitution is not amended
now, and the rebel Congressmen are admit
ted, each rebel soldier will have 'twice as
much control over the Federal Go‘;ernment
as you or I. If you are ready to submit to
that, I arn not."
" That's rather hard, I must confess. I
don't know but what it's right to make that
change; but then your party asks other
changes, too."
"None that are not just and necessary.
Only a guarar tee that the rebels shall not
rob the treasury with claims for their debt
and damages ; that their worst men shall
not be immediately restored to power, and
that civil rights shall be extended to all
American citizens."
" I don't want to help pay the rebel debt
any more than you do ; and it would nut be
leasant to think that the men - who shot
own our companions should step into the
front seats of politics too sudden,y ; but that
civil rights clause has got a nigger in the
wood pile, and I'm against negro equality,
and especially against giving thorn the right
to vote.'"
" It says nothing about suffrage one w• y
or the other. But it provides against their
oppression. The war showed how little the
rebels cared for the health or lives of white
prisoners, and they care less for the rights of
freedmen. They have so long been accus
tomed to treat colored men as. brutes that it
will require sharp lawssharply administered
to teach them better. Fhe negroes are hu
man beings entitled to our protection wide'
any circumstances, and Certainly since they
acted as our faithful allies against the cruelty
of a common enemy. Of all the bugbears
over invented to frighten fools, 110.2.r0 equali
ty is the most ridiculous. The tnaintenance
of your manhood don't depend upon the
power of rebel ruffians to cheat, assault and
murder emancipated slaves with impunity.
The " man's the man for a that," being
certainly made no better by the oppression
of his fellow men, on the one hand, as he is
no worse for lack of rank and fortune, on
the other. You talk about Democracy I
What a libel on the word it is to make it the
name of a party that boasts (A its anxiety to
heap undeserved wren , ' and ignominy upon
a down trodden race that proved its
-patriot
ism and loyalty in the darkest hours of na
tional adversity, and is now by-the confession
of friend and foe proving its industry and
capacity for freedom. The sneers and taunts
hurled against it by your Democratic speak
ers are as old as the hills. Aristocrats have
used thorn for centuries against laboring
masses of tho white race, and it is only
where brave, bold Radicals have successfully
combatted thorn, that the masses of any
colpr are free."
Some individuals—prone to abstract srec•
ulations, and acceptors of the theory that
"that that government is best which governs
least"—have expressed alarm lest Congress,
in its solicitude to re-establish the Union
on a basis ctf security and permanence;
should forget dr discard the just distribu
tion of politieqoarers between the nation
al and Statendt orities, and furnish a pre
cedent Mr centralization thitttnight work
incalculable mischief, both now and here
'after. Strange enough, these individuals,
almost without exception, lean towards tho
iPreSident, as against Congress, and seem to
regard the Executive ,as a sort of break
water to withstand encroachments by the
legislative bodies. 'lt is charitable to 'coo- . •
'elude that these individualsltave been spec

CENTRALIZATION
stitutionis, In all these proceeding 4, the
President did not consult Congress, nor did
he allow any appeal thereto either on the
part of the titate organizations or the pop
ulations more immediately touched by his
rescripts. 'ln assumed 'imperial prcrogri
ti.ns. and wielded 'them with surprising
energy. , .
same contempt' for thole Rights—the
same intolerance of limitations to his au
thority—are obseriable in his recent inter
ferences in Louisiana. Measures had been
taken to reconvene the Constitutional Con
vention. The immediate question not—
/was such convocation'l-gid or 'illegal? but
simple—what right had the Presidimt to
meddle with the matter? If the President
should attempt to disperse or arrest the
members of a Coffititutionnl Convention
duly assembled in , Pennsylvania, under
Proclamation of Governor, the intrusion
would be promptly resented by the whole
people. If claim should be set up that the
Convention was irregular and illegal, this
would not justify the interference of the
President; much less an appeal by him to
military force. The only proceedings allow
able would be„an appeal to the eotitts.
But the Presfident. was not content in this
essential matter to mark his disregard of
the rights of the State. He went farther;
and in the details to which lie resorted set
at defiance all the rules and courtesies
which' , had previously marked the inter
course of the National Executive with the
State governments. He treated the Gov
ernor as though he was not; communicated
with his subordinate officer, the Secretary
of State: and even put the whole military
power of the Federal Government at his
carnmand. If, in any matter of substance,
the President, having occasion to commu
nicate with the authorities of Pennsylvania,
should ignore Governor CURTIN, ana open
correspondence wiilFSerrernry SLIFER ; vir
tually exalt him to the headship of the Com
monwealth : and subject the military forces
in this department to his orders ; there would
be such an outburst of indignation from all
sorts and co 'dittoes or men, as would abash
and confound the u-urprr.
The fret is manifest that the tendency to
Centralization is mu..:11 stronger in the
President than •in Congress. Many of his
stretches of authority are absolutely gigan
tic; and unless effectually overruled by the
people cannot fail of entailing permanent
derangements of the whole economy of the
Constitution.—Pittsburg Gazette.
U
General• Sheridan's opinion
At this moment it is interesting and im
portant to know General Sheridan's views
of the feeling of the late insurgent section.
lle is not an "Abolitionist" or a "Radical,"
in the ordinary sense. A late currespon.
dent says:

still required the mediation of a sufficient
military fore(; and if called upon to give
his testimony it would be ilia the United
States troops ought not yet to be removed
from the South."
Recent events in General Sheridan's De
partment certainly tend to confirm his view.
The issues upon which the coining earn
paign is to be fought. are plainly set forth in
the position taken by the opposing iiarties
throughout the Government. They are as
follows :
Shall traitors be entitled to seats in the
halls of Congress'?
Shall national debts be promptly paid or
repudiated ?
Shall the debts contracted by the rebels,
in their attempts to destroy the U ivernment,
be asumed as the ebt ?
Shall the ind,•btednvss of the Government
be liable to taxation by State and local
uu
thorities ?
Is allegiance due to a State first, as claim
ed by secessionists and their friends, Or is al
legiance to a State only secondary ?
Have we the right, under the Constitu
tion, through our Senators and nepresenta-
Lives, to inquire whether ,tnian is entitied
to a seat as one of Our law-makeri? Or,
Whether a people who have been in arm

IsT.—There is a great deal of talk about the
duty of conciliating' the rebels; bu it will
ht. found, on OXAM nution, that the only con

is the surrender of the true Union men of
the South, white and black, tutu their
clut , hes, and also the surr uder to them
of the Legislative Departmeht of ihe Gov
