certain States hnll not be represented. — si
We impose taxes upon them ; we send our ti
tax gatherers into every region and por
tion of the States. Their people are fit u
subjects ol Government for the collection g
of taxes, but when they ask to participate I
in tie legislation of the country, they are ii
mt at the door and tnld no, you must pay I
taxes, voti must bear buidens of Govern- \
mcnf.but you cannot participate in its leg- t
islation which is to affect you through all c
time to come. Is this just? Is it fair ? 1
[* 44 No." "No."] . :
I repeat lam tor the Union. 1 am for *
preserving all the State s lam tor admit- 1
ting into the councils of the nation all the !l
representatives who are unmistakably and
unquestionably loyal. A man who ac- c
knowledges alh gience to the Government, '
and who swears to support the Constitu- j '
tion. must necessarily be loyal.— 1
A man cannot Jake that oath in good
faith unless he is loyal. A mere rapli-; t
fication of the oath makes no differ- f
once as to the principle. \\ hatever test t
is thought proper as evidence and as proof
of lovaltv, is a mere matter of detail, about t
which I care nothing; but let a man be <
unmistakably and unquestionably loyal, ; '
let him acknowledge allegiance to the Con- f
stitution of the United States, and be will- j i
ing to spuport the Government in its hour t i
of peril and its hour of need, and I am [ |
willing to trust him. [Applause.] i
I know that some do not attach as much !
importance to this point as I do, but Ire 1
g.-ird it as a fundamental one One princi
c pie that carried us through the revolu
tion wa< that there >hould be no taxation !
without representation. I hold to that i I
prim iplc, which was laid down as funds- ;
mental by our fathers. If it was good then
it is good now. If it was worth standing
bv then, it is worth standing by now. It is , 1
fun lamcntal, and should be observed as I
long as free government lasts
•Tar. aware that in the midst of the re- ,
bel!i'>n it was said bv some that the Con
stitution had been rolled up as a piece of! \
parchment and laid away ; that in time of.
war and rebellion there was no Constitu
tion. We know that sometimes, in great
necessities, und- r great emergencies, un
constitutional things must sometimes nuccs-'
saiily be done, in order to preserve the
Constitution itself"; but if, while the re
bellion was going on the Constitution was ■ '
rolled up and laid away, if it was violated j '
in som • particular in order to save the
Governnient —which may be excusi d and J
justified, because in saving the Govern
ment vou really saved the Constitution—
now that peace lias come, now that the war <
is over, we want again the benefit of a writ
ten Constitution, and I say the time has !
come to take the Constitution down, to un- '
roll it, to re-read it, to understand its pro- ,
visions thoroughly, and now, in order to
save the Government, we must preserve
the Constitution.
Our only safety is in a strict adherence
to and preservation of the Constitution of
our father. It is now unfolded. It must j
now be read, it must now he digested and
understood by the American people. 1
am here, to dav, then in making these re- j
marks, to vindicate the Constitution and I
to save it, as I helieve, f->r it does seem as
if encroachment after an encroachment is i
proposed upon it. As far as I can, 1 have I
ever resisted encroachments upon the Con
stitution, and Hereby preserve flie Consti I
tutioh and the Government of the United !
States. [Great applause.]
It is now a time of peace, and let us
have peace ; 1< t us enforce the Constitu
tion ; let us live under, and according to
its provisions; let it be published and j
pri ted in blazoned characters, as though j
it were in the heavens, and punctuated b\ ;
the stars, o that all can read and al! can
understand. Let us consult that instru
ment aid be guided by its provisions. Let \
us undcistand tlum and, understanding,!
abide by them.
I tell the opposers of thia Government I
T care rot from what quarter thev eotne. ;

the question i* submitted to the popular j

the whole thirty millions, and they could I
witness the great struggle that is going on j
to preserve the Constitution of their fa- j
thers. They would soon settle the qnes- I
tion if thy could-once see how things are ;! I
if thev could see the kind of spirit that is !
manifested in the effort to break up the !
real principles of free Government ; when
tliey came to undemtard who was for them; j ?
who was for ameliorating their condition j
and for elevating them !>v preserving their ,
Government, if the combatants could stand J
between them, and there could be a • regu-
Jar set-to between the respective gladiators,
in the first tilt that might be made you
would find that 4 he enemies of the coun

My fellow-citizens, I bare detained you
much longer than I intended [" Go on;

I am your instrument, and 1 have thought j
it best to express royselt frankly. When,
1 a*k you, have I usurped authority ? j
Who is it in this country that I have not i
toiled and labored for? Where is the man j
or the woman, either in private life or pub- I
lie life, that has not always received my |
attention and my time? Sometimes it has
been said (pardon ine for being a little ego

car. never defeat him." | Laughter ] Now i
1 will tell von what constitutes my good

the people. [Great applause.]
The people, somehow or other, although
their sagacity and good judgment are very
frequently underrated, and under-estima j
t'-d, generally, get to find out and under— j
stand who is for them and who is against
them They do it by instinct, if in no
other way. Thev know who is their friend.
They know in whom they can confide. So
far. thank God, I can l*v my hand upon
my bosom,and -my with heartfelt satisfac
tion, that in all the positions in which I
have been placed—and I have been placed
in many that were as trying as any in ,
wh-ch mortal has been placed —I have
never deserted them. nor do I believe they
will des-rt me [No, no, and applause.]—
Whom have 1 betrayed What princi
ple have I violated? What sentiment
have I swerved fiotn? Can those who
me, put their finger upon any one?
[No. no | In all speeches that have been
made no one has dared to put his finger
upon a single principle 1 ever asserted
from whicn 1 have deviated. Have you
not heard some of them, at "ome time, at
ti nipt to quote my predecessor, who fell a
martyr to his country's cause, hut they can
give no sentiment of his that is in opposi
tion or in contradiction to anything that 1
have done. The veiy policy that lam
now pursuing was pursued by me under his
administration, I having been appointed by
him in apaiticular positi m for that very
purpose. An inscrutable Providence saw
proper to remove him l'n.m this to, I trust,
a I)-iter world, and I came into his place
and there i not a principle of hi-, in refer
ence to the restoration cl the Union, from
which I have departed. [None.]
Then the war is not simply upon me,
hut it is upon my predecessor also. I have
tried to do my duty. 1 know that some
are envious and jealous and speak of the
White House as having attractions for the
President, Let me say to von, the charms
of the Whit • House have as little infiuence
upon ni'- as upon any individual in this
country, and much les upon me than upon
those who are talking ahout it. The lit
tle that 1 cat and wear, does not amount
to much, and the d.fferei ce between what
is enough to sustain me and mv little fam
ily—it is very small; f.>r I am not kin to
many folks by consanguinity, though by
affinity 1 am akin to everybody—the differ
ence Ii :ween the littie that suffice! for ny
stomarh and hack and more than .enough
lias no charms for mo. The proud and
conscientious -ati-faetion of having per
formed my duty to my counlry, to my
children, and to the innennan, is all the re
ward that I a>k. [Great applause.]
In c inclusion, let mc ask this vast con
course ' ero to-day, this 44 sea of upturned
faces," to come with in- 1 — or T will go with
you—and stand around the Constitution of
our countrv. It is again unfolded. The
people are invited to read and understand,
to sustain and maintain its provisions. Let
us #ia i i by the Constitution of our fathers,
though tin* heavens themselves should tail
Though faction mav rage, though taunts
and jeers may com -, though abuse and vi
tupeiation mav he pour-1 out in the most
form. I mean to be found standing
by the Constitution >f the country. I be
seech vou to stand bv th® Constitution as
the chief ark of our safctv, as the palladium
of our civil and our religions liberty es,
let us el j tig to it as the mariner clings to

temppt close around him.
Accept mv thanks, my countrymen, fcr
the indulgence vou havw extended to me
while submitting to you extemporaneously,
and, perhaps, incoherently, the remarks
which 1 have now made. Let ur go away

He lias boldlv thrown himself into the
breach of disuni'n, which Stevens, Sumner,
Phillips, and other kindred spirits are at
tempting to widen, and with a determined
resolution worthy of his great predecessor,
Jackson, undertakes the greatest work
that ever devolved upon the shoulders of
any ruler —that of restoring single hauded
the union of these States, and making the
j years of war , through which we have
I passed effective toward the object for which
we fought.
But he is equal to it ail. lie has stretch

and not in vain. The voice of gratitude
and encouragement —the People's voice—
has made the welken ring in every com

We fleet the following sentiments from

remembered bv those who still hare taith

| "I have said, and I say again, that io

"I have laborei nineteen years to take
sixteen States out of the Union.''
Wcndel Phillips.
When we were in the very midst of the

"Thank God, for McClallan, for Camer

i for President, we should have put down

"This talk of .restoring the Union a* it

Selfhood,
Many have.shown wherein true de/el
oped manhood lies; many have spoken of
womanhood ; but many will here first learn
•f a state of human perfection far beybnd
mere manhood, or womanhood; a state
and degree of fullness of life far above the !
general attainment of humanity. Do you
think one tenth of the great mass of edu
cated, thinking people, are in tho state of,
mental perfection that were best denomi
nated Selfhood? If you do think this, you
are verv misled by their apparent capaci- I
ties of self government.
You will like this position, so boldly ,
taken, defined and defended, before you
sanction it by saying it is a true one that
can bo defended. This can be done by
others more elaborately ; by myself new
and plainly. Wherein does selfhood con
sist ? In independent, and orderly action
of all of each human minds' forces of man
ifestation. The man or woman who can
withdraw the entire force of mind from all
extraneous influences, and think and act.
independently of selfsh motives, (so called,
but in reality impulses of propensity,) and
other's opinions, has reached selfhood. —
Are you conscious of a deriliction of tho't,
when you attempt the anglasis of any sub
ject, to others ideas, and peoples opinions
of you.
Then you have not attained that inde
pendent'and untrammeled use of your soul
that when you have reached and enjoyed
you will alone comprehend as self-govern
ment. This selfhood is not a mere finical
idea. It is a blessed state of mental
perfection realized by many souls enchain
ed by humanity. Deeply conscious of my
imperfect attainment in this sphere of soul
power, I yet force you'to notice this truth
of human life, and defend my position by
the words of our most divine teacher.
Christ: —"Be ye also perfect, even as your
Father in heaven is p'-riect." Be satisfied
with no illustrious range of thought, rea
son, or imagination b' fore you <an com
mand the entire forces of your moral, in
tellectual, and physical being ; making all
subservient to your soul.
Fancy not, that you are destitute of the
particular faculties of mind that may ena
ble you to reach this state of human per
fection; ('et no one think a Methodist is
preaching perfect holiness ; —lam adverse
to the sect.) A phrenologist will tell you
that large Conscientiousness, Coucentra
tiveness and Firmness, with fair or large
Self-esteem, make this self-government
more easily perfected ; but phrenology is
misunderstood when any one presumes up
on its teaching that the mind of man shall
depend in its manifestations upon any in
dividual soul% peculiar conformation of
skull. Mind, or more properly, soul, gov
erns the skull, and human organs of mind,
in their growth; and the skull governs
nothing but the true phrenologist's opinion
of an individual. < ieneral society is but little
adapted to this growth of soul and mind;
its feverish excitement, and conventional
notions, deteriorate the activity of genius,
all know. Few persons of thought, gon
ial or power shone in, or effected to like
society, or the general assegiblage of moths
that congregate around the taper, (it can
not be called a light) called society, scorch
ing and <l*fttrnyii>g the genius of thousands
gifted with minds above mediocrity.
The peculiarity of a genius greatly con
sists in his originality and personality ; and
any man who owns this is ethically held
to have a richer possession than the uni
verse of materiality can give; practically,
however, it ha* proven one of the cheapest
articles human nature produces. For good
society is a phantom which lures many a
man of talent*, and virtue, into a non
sensical sacrifice of personality and self, f >r
the conversation and sympathy of mental
pigmies and flats. Thev have the frippery
and small talk, and smaller ideas, common
to these, and are not troubled with the in
dividuality they have sold, but so far from
it, deride those who are "so singular' as to
have retained their originalitv of soul, and
independence of action. And tie who re
solves to not barter his individuality for
the sympathy and support of this unthink -
ing mass of humankind, may nerve his
heart—they cannot touch his soul - o hoar
contumely, persecution and malice from
those who can not appreciate his higher
range of capacity of mini; who will call
him a fanatic dreamer, and accuse him of
being imaginative ; for those who can not
eompiehend any important original truth,
invariably call it an imagination. I bring
this before you, since if you cultivate j'our
personality of soul, you will soon experi
ence new ideas, feelings, and views of
whatever may have been before your
thoughts, previous to this change, when
"old things shall pass away, and all things
become new.'' But your newness and ful
ness of life shall compensate YOU for all the
popularity you may have lost :
"Should the palm tree bend it* crown to chide the
brier t it* feet?
Should the nightingale account it worth her painS
to vindic ite her music ?
No, uiany an injustice, many a sneer and slur,
la passed aside with noble scorn by lovers of true
thought;
For the great min 1 well may be sad to note such
littleness in brethren.
The while it is comforted and happy in the firmest
assurance of desert "
Tapper _
ho yon may pity those who have sacri
ficed their personality, or soul, for this life,
for tlie mess of pottage, which their ease
and popularity with your despiser, mav
justly be termed. Many, who shut their
minds resolutely to all the greatness of
soul that they have lost, and contemn all
truths but those of a practical character, or
the grand doctrine that "One and one make
two," in monied matters, are commisera
ted; for are not all the glories, snbl mities, •
and beauties of the universe, which thev in
common with you are placed in to know and
enjoy, a sealed hook and veiled picture to
them ? And to you a treasure that God
ia never abundantly thanked for.
No difference shall mere earthly priva
tion make in your serene soul. God be
praised ! yet shall be your utterance when
the waters of Marah overwhelm vour soul,
and embitter your human feeing*. Yon
shall be enlisted in discovering Nature's
laws and divine beauties, and time shall
not fail to bring its reward of virtuous ap
probation. To all sorrowing and striving
mortals yon shall become a teacher of the
faith you shall then have in God'a good
ness ; and to the sorrowful one who is be
reft ©f ell fcope ff joy ia the human rela- 1
tion of family nnd home, teach his heirship
in the home our Father has given us— this
world, this life ; say to all such :
"Tb, world is fair
And I shall force thae to acknowledge it.
The sighing wind hath stores of healing balm,
1 The twittering birch leaves melodies of joy,
And Alight that lives its meed of happiness !"
! And you shall rejoice in your newness of
life, your selfhood, with joy unspeakable,
and your soul acquire a fulness of joy, a
: depth,
'•Like weljs th;<t by the wasting of their flow !
i Have had their deeper fountains broken up.''

What Lincoln would have Said.
Fred. Douglas, in a lecture at Balti
' more, is reported by the Commercial to
hare said that "had Mr. Lincoln lived,
'loyal black m.m, returning from a two j
j years 1 campaign, coveted with the du.t of
• battle, wonld not have been insulted as
they were by President Johnson by having
a sermon preached to them about going to
i work and proving tbal they were entithd
jto freedom." Possibly not. Judging j
! from a remark he did make tespecting the .
; black men and their freedom, Mr. Lincoln 1
would have been more expressive though
less elegant than his successor in the terms |
i of his "sermon." It wili be remembered i
that Mr. Parpenter, the artist, who knew
so much of the inner fib* ot Mr Lincoln,
[ ! recently furnished the ladeptndeut a series
I of articles thereon, I n one ot them he
i tells of Lincoln's interview at Hampton
| Roaus with the rebel Vice President, and
[ | the other Commissioners, as the late Pies -
. ident related the facts to him. They were
discussing the question of emancipation,
! when Mr. Stephens express* d his convic- j
, tion that the negro would not, if suddenly
r given his freedom, labor or tie ot much use
< i to himself or any one else, and asked what
. would be done with him. This was Mr.
Lincoln's answer, for which see the Inde
. ; /tender t, " Il'fit, H'>g, r Die !" The Rot-h
--. | ester Union says there may be a question
.! of taste involved in the diflforent modes of
| i "sermonizing'' adopted by the two Presi
| dents, but tli**ir creed seems to be pretty
much of one and the same piece.
MASSVCHISETTS REBELLIOUS — The
, spirit which dictated the passage ot that
. | ordinance of secession which still stands
, j unrepealed on the statute book of Massa
j chusetts. is again at work in that .State, as
, i will be seen from the following :
t | The United States District Court a short
s j time since decided that certain prosecutions
- in Massachusetts six u!d be trai sterred to
i that court, under the provisions of a law ot
Congress, and directing that further pro
f j ceedings in the Stat'- courts should he stop
j ped ' The Supreme Court of the State at
its present session at Salem took up the
case and declared that the decision of the
i United States Court was not law and should
; i not be obeyed !
i If this had happened a few hundred
' miles farther south it would have been •flat
' rebellion."
The Republicans call themselves
'i " friend* of the Constitution and the Un
ion." They have tried, during the pre
sent Congresv, to effect between eighty and
a hundred changes in the Constitution, and
they are fighting to exclude nine States
I from the Union ; and we who respect and
I ; love the Constitution of our country, and
: who want to see the Union preserved, arc
railed enemies of the Constitution and the
' Union by these incomprehensible liars.—
I : We say liars because that is just what they
k are. We have ceased to regard these men
as gentlemen; and we have ceased to speak

, publie that their grape Tines and fruit trees can be !
j made doubly productive by a proper syetein of pru
ning. Adolphus also think* he is just the man that
can do that same thirg.
Our Friend P- C. Burns, having purchased the j
interest and good will of Mr A A Stoddard gives ;
his friends and patrons notice in another c lumn, j
that he is prepared to regulate their time as well as
any man this side of eternify. He al=o asserts that
his celebrated Parabola Spectacles, will give a per
' son a good view of the interior of a mill stone, if j
they will not make one see clear through.
Sarza,--We have long supposed this celebrated
drug hal come to be an exploded humbug, but we
are assured by those skilled in the healing art, that
not the Sarsaparilla itself is to be blamed for this
conclusion, bet the miserable worthless preparations
of it that have been pained o(T upon the commnni- j
ty—preparations which contain about as much of
its virtue as they do of gold dust. Is is a commsr- j
cipl fact that almost all of the Sarsaparlla gathered j
in the world, is consumed'in the old countries of j
Europe, where the science of medicine has reached
its highest perfection, and where they know the best
what to erapbrv for the mastery of disease. Hence
we are glad to find that we are to have a compound
of this excellent alterative, which can be relied on, !
and our community will rot need be assured, that
anything DOCT. AYR* makes, is worthy of their j
confidence He has been for years engaged in el
imioating this remedy (see adv'g cols.) designing to
make it his "chef di ourre" which should add the
crowning glory to his already enviable reputation.— j
