"To the feeling .created by the appre

exhibition of rebel venom and bad faith
in Virginia North 'Carolina 'and other
Southern States. 1 In the ettromity 'of

Rut I may bo told 'that it is profitless to
discuss these issues. My answer is that
they are upon , us-;-they aro being dis
cussed at every .fireside and in every
workshop, and wo :cannot better prepare
ourselves fe3'otir duties than by examin
ing the question: as it stands. There is
net a conscientious, citizen who is not

this ocnsideration: When congress_ineets
the whole subject, will be thrown open;
and it will requirel all , the prudence and

I am in great .hopes that the facts,as they
appear, will not be without effect upon
those wh call themselves Union men in
the Southern States, and-that these ivill
will help the President, instead of ob
structing him in the discharge of his
paws duties. They may rest assured that
,
nothing is to be gained by bad faith to
the . Government,! or by ill treatment of
the negroes. Every manifestation of this
only ; increases the feeling in favor of uni
versal suffrage. Shivery was put forward
by rebels as a prize; whin they intended
to retain. Theilost, and in loosing that
they lost all powers in connection with
the entire 9ticoion ; and if, when the
rebellion fell, slaiory fell with it, so un
doubtedly fell the right to oppress the
coloreilman in any and every way. You
will sec, from what I have said, that the
disposition of this ease,if not in the blinds
of the white men in the South, can .be
materially ishaped by them, if :they obey

The Wife's ibliwlttence.
A woman has her husband's fortune in
her power, because she May, or may
not, as she pleases, conform to his cir
cumstances. This is her; first duty and
it ought to be her pride..._iNo passion for
luxury or display ought fOr a moment to'
deviate in the least degree'from this lite
of conditet. She will find - her reSpectat
bility in it. -Any other course is .wretch.
edness itielf,and inevitably !cads-to ruin.
Nothing can be more Miserable than the
struggle to keep up appearances. If it
could succeed it would cost more than it
is worth as it never . can, its failure in
volves the deepest mortification. Some
of the the sublimest exhibitions of human
virtue have been precipated suddenly
from wealth and splendor to absolute
want.

A good wife will never snffer ,her hus

beings, can best minister to his needs.—
For the sick soul, her nursing is quite as
sovereign as it is for corporeral ills. If
