A WARNING TO POLITICAL PREACB
EKS —The Hannibal (Mo.) Republic says,
that within the past year three hundred
and twenty eight Jacbobin political preach
cis have been sent to the different peni
tentiaries of the United States, and eight
have been hung. Political preachers
should make a note of this, and quit
pre a hing politics.
The Xi w York Independent, a lead
imr Radical organ, and which the New

culated and ger.erallv read religions-politi
cal journal in America," in its issue of last
week, hcrv- 3 the following notice on the
American people:
No umn eh nil be the next President of the
United States who does not ask PERMIS
SION OF THE NEGRO.
We are indebted to President John
son l,r the most terse and truthful explan
ation of the Freedmen's Bureau bill. Said
the President at New York: " JThat is
h t bill ? Nothing more or less than the
: r nsferring of four millions of slaves from
th or original owners to anew set ot task
inasters, with the United States to pay all
the exp- use?, and the taskmasters under
the G vernm nt to leap all the profits.''

The Disunion Consistency the New
York Tribune.
► The editor the New York Tribune , is
now trying to keep the Union BROKEN UP,
marches upon an old and cousistent line.
Everybody will remember how, in 1860,
he ridiculed all who loved the Union as
"Union-savers," and said, "the South could
not be kicked ontof the Union," and how,
when the South seceded, he said, "let it
go." Read the following, . ,
z From, the Tribune, Nov. 9, 1860.
"If the cotton States shall become sat
isfied that they can do better out of the
Union than in it, we insist on letting them
r go in peace. The right to secede may be
a revolutionary one, but exists neverthe
* less. * * * H T e m Uf t ever resist the
right of any State to remain in the Union
and nulify or defy the laws thereof. To
3 withdraw from the Union is quite another
matter. Whenever a considerable section
of our Union shall deliberately resolve to
1 go out, we shall resist all coercive meas
ures designed to keep it in. IKe hope
never to live in a Republic whereof one
section is pinned to another by bayonets.'
From the Tribune Nov. 26, iB6O.
, "If the cotton States unitedly and ear
nestly wish to withdraw peacefully from
the Union, we think they should and wo'd
be allowed to do so. Any attempt to
compel them by force to remain would be
, contrary to the principles enunciated in
the immortal Declaration of lndependcr.ee,
contrary to the fundamental ideas on which
human liberty is based,"
From the Tribune. Dec. 17, 1860.
"If it (the Declaration of Independence)
justified the secession from .he GritishjEm
pire of three millions of colonists in 1776.
we do not see why it would not justify the
secession ot five millions of Southrons
from the Union in 1861."
From the Tribune, Fib. 23, 1860
"Whenever it shall be clear that the
great body of the Southern people have
become conclusively alienated from the
Union, and anxious for a separation, we
will do our best to have it peacefully grant
ed them." ♦
The New York Tribune now in 1866
iwLts that the Southern States shall be
j probited from coming back, unless NEGRO
•j KIKD. mottled, black, —so that the high bonn
! Tv men and the Jacobin s of the North
through the overseers of the Negro's Bu
reau , can govern. Hence, all this resist
ance to a restoration of the Union, an 1 to
a re-union of the States The South is
not wanted, because, with the Democracy
of th< North resisting, the bounty m-n of
the North cannot govern whole Union.
It th); Soiith would only vote, from fifty to
three hundred per cent, bounty to wood
screw®, Ac., there would be no difficulty in
j restoring the South. Because the South
in 186'J would not do this," LET THEM GO'"
was the watchword then. Thus, it is seen,
this is not a negro issue that divides the
and gouth, but r. Bounty Question
a Protection Question. The West, whose
interests are the same as the South, is 1< d
off just now by Puritanical New England
leaders, settled there under this negro cry,
but its eyes are opening.

THE MONUMENTAL INFAMT.
Another stone has IK-' n laid upon the
• monument of infamy which fanaticism has
raised for itself in Missouri. On the 10th
inst., Rev. B. F. Kenny, a distinguished
Baptist clergyman, of D iviess county, was
arrested on three indictments found against
~ him by a fanatical Grand Jury of that
j county, for the crunc of preaching the gos

mous new Constitution oatlu Mr. Kenny
is sixty-one years of age, has been a
preacher of the gospel for forty years, is a
I most exemplary man and christian, and
one of the most h arued and eloquent di
; vines in the country. The brutality of
the officer arresting him is in keeping with
| the character of ihe charge. Mr. Kenny
was arretted at his house, after sunset, and,
notwithstanding his age, and his protest
against the brutality, was compelled to

Pauperism and Crime North and South
An interesting subject for the attention
of the philanthropist is presented by a
i comparison of the amount of pauperism
and crime which formerly existed respect
! ively in the States under the free and
slave systems. A careful writer lias made
thorough examination of the statistics as
exhibited bv the census of 1860, and gives
| the following as the results of his investi-
I gations:
It appears from the census of 1860 that
the nineteen Northern or Free States, willi
! a population of 18,927,763, had, within
that year, 140,238 native and 156,231 for
i eign paupers, and 29,686 native and 62,-
159 foreign criminals who w-re convicted.
The fifteen Southern States, including
Delaware and Maryland, during the same
time, with a population of 12,240,693, had
18,518 native and 4,546 foreign paupers,
and 3,677 native and 3,477 foreign con
victed criminals.
From these tables it appears that the
amount of pauperism in the Northern
States, during the twelve months which
they include, was 1,57 per cent, of the pop
ulation of these States—o-73 per cent, of
the paupers being native born and 8-83 of
foreign birth
The amount of pauperism in the South
ern States during the same period is found
to have been 0 19 per cent, of the popula
tion of that section of the country, of which
0-14 percent, was supplied by native born
paupers and 0-04 per cent, by those of
foreign birih.
The criminal statistics show that, witdin
the year, the number of persons convicted
in the Northern States was 0-48 per cein.
of their population, of which 0-15 per cent,
were native Americans and 0-33 per cent,
foreigners.
The convictions in the Southern States
at the same time, were 0.06 per c-nt. of
their population, a fraction more than half
being native born, and a fraction less than
half being of foreign birth.
Thus the ratio of pauperism and crime
in the North were, in 1860, "each eight
times greater than they were in the South "
Massachusetts, arid we here invoke the
attention of philanthropists, in the yeat
1860, with a population of 1.231,066, had
18.010 native and 33,870 foreign paupers,
and 4,110 i.ative and 8,292 foreign con
victed criminals. Virginia, during tiie
sani" year, with a population of 1,594.318.
(400,000 of whom were slaves) had 5.8U8
native and 219 foreign paupers, and 192
native and 416 foreign convicted criminals.
From these facts it appears that in
Massachusetts, that boasts of lier superior
education, advancement and civilization,
one person in every twenty three of hei
population was returned as a pauper. In
Virginia, on the other hand, only one in
every two hundred and sixty-four ot her
populatio i was a pauper, Again in the
moral State of Massachusetts one in every
ninety-seven of her population was a
convicted criminal, while in Virginia, only
one in two thousand six hundred and
twenty-two of population was con\ icted of
crime. These facts ought to arouse the
nub ic mind to an investigation of the
causes which lea l to such great difference*.
It may w ell be doubted with srcli a record
looking us in the face, whether Massachu
setts has made that progress in civilization |
that she boasts so much about. If her ad- 1
vancement produces the astonishii g results
exhibited by these figures, then it mav be
pertinent to inquire wherein her progress
has been productive ef good.
To what extent pauperism and crime
have been increased in the South, since the
i ibo'iitiou of slavery, we have no figures by
which to till; but it has been enormous,
judging from the accounts that are publish
ed in the daily and weekly papers, tiie in
crease must exceed at h-ast ten hundred
thou-and fold. A gentleman from Missis
sippi, not long since, told us, that child mur
der, among the negroes in that vicinity j
where lie lives, is now an every day occur- j
rence ; —that the negresses strangle, drown,
or get rid of them in some other way, just
as they are born; that hundreds of them
had been found in his town and the neigh
boring country, in pond holes,cisterns, run
ning streams, and other places of conceal
ment ; and in the State at large, he has no
doubt they could be counted bv thousands.
As to pauperism, we know all that the
great mass, built of whites and blacks, in
that section, have been reduced to the. low
est depths of poverty and want In the
appeals that were made to us last winter,
in the pulpits and in the papers of this
State, we were told that not less than 75.000
negroes would die dutiug the coid season
fiom sickness, destitution, want and starva
tion. To relieve the millions who had been
reduced to poverty and distress by the ab
olition policy of "ciu-hiug out" the long |
established system of labor at the South, j
was the design of the fifteen millions drawn j
from the public treasury, by the "negro j
bureau'—but that sum, administered as it
was, proved inadequate to tiie purpose, and
the poor blacks, dragged away from their
comfortable hom< s, aid left to provide, for
themselves, have died off by thousands
destitution, sickness and starvation, amid j
the pleasures,and happiness, and blessings,
of freedom, thrust upon them bv Greeley,
Garrison. I'hillips, Thad Stevens, Sumner
A Co.
Fhe Cause of the increase of crime and j
pauperism at the South is thus accounted
for, bnt the extent of that increase, though
known to he very great, cannot, for tiie i
want of statistics, be now definitely staled. ;
_ Congress has undertaken to provide a
remedy for the great increase of poverty
amicruue at the South. But what is to
be dime for the vast ainonnt at the North ?
It these "figures do not lie," it is a most la
mentable exhibition of the boasted civiliza
tion ot the country, and deserves the atten
tion of the people. Until we, at the North
can bring down our stati-lics to something
like those of the South, when trader the
4 Slave Power." it ill becomes us to quarrei
with their institutions, or arraign tht-ra be
fore the bar of public opinion for a want of
Christian pi incipie or the refinements of
civilization. Should B'endell Phillips be
elected to the next congress, we trust he
will allow the negro to sleep awhile, and
a time turn his attention to the ameliora- 1
tion of the condition of the paupers of Mas
sachusetts and the North. And when the
social system has been improved so as to
materially reduce the 'amount of our pau
perism, he can then find employment for
iiis faculties in devising measures to cor
rect that fearful state of things which pro
duces on* criminal in every ninety-seven of
our people. After he has completed these
labors he may again return to his first love,
and give his attention to the ills of the
South. — Bridgeport Farmer.

THE ANDRRSONVILLE PRISON— The
Southern &/ue of the Story. —The follow
ing extract is from E. A. Pollard's last
work, entitled, The Lost Cause:
But the history of the extraordinary ef
forts of the Confederate authorities to re
lieve the suffrage of Andersonville, through
some presumption of exchanges, does not
end with the proposition referred to as
made by commission Ould, to exchange
man for man. and have the surplus at the
disposition of the enemy. It was followed
by another more jibcaal and extraordinary
proposition. Acting under the direct in
; struction of the Secretary of lUar, and
I seeing plainly that there was no hope oi
! any general or extended partial system of
exchange, Commissioner Ouid in August,
1863, offered to the Fedoiai agent of ex
change, Gen. Mulfrrcl, to deliver to him all
the sick and wounded Federal prisoners
we had without insisting upon the delivery
of any equivalent number of our prisoners
in return. He also informed Gen. Mulford
of the terrible mortality among the Federal
prisoners, urging him to he swift in send
j ing transportation to the uioulli of the Sa
| vannah river for the purpose of taking
them away. The offer of Commissioner
Oul I included al the, sick and wounded at
Audcrsonville and other Confederate pris
• • 1
on?.
lie further informed General Mulford,in
order to utake the" Government safe in
sending transportation, that if the sick and
wounded did not amount to teu or fifteen
thousand men, the Confederate authorities
would make up that number in well men. —
The off r, it will be recollected, was made
early in Augu.-t 1864. Gen. Mulford in-|
f rmed Commissioner Oil d that it was di
rectly communicated to his Government,
yet no timely advantage was ever taken ot
it.
This interesting and important f et is for
th 6 fitst time uuthotitivelv published in
the-e panes. It contains volurns of signifi
cance. The question occurs who was re
sponsible for the sufferings of the sick and
wounded prisoners at Andcrsonville, from
August to December, 1864 ? The world
will ask with amazement if it was possible
that thousands of pri-oneis were left to die
in inadequate places of confinement merely
to make a ea>o against the South mere'v
lor romance. The single fact gives the clue
to the. whole story of deceptions and inhu
man cruelty of the authorities at Washing
ton with reference to their prisoners of
war—the key to a chapter of horrors that
even the hardy hand of history shakes to
unlock.
The Tribune Confesses.
The Tribune at last is constrained to con
fess the attempt to connect Jeff. Davis with
the assassination of Lincoln, by means of
perjured witne-srs. is a failure. The con
fession takes this form :
"Jtidgti-Advocato-Gener.il Holt has pub
lished through the Chronicle ( Washington)
and in pamphlet, a "Vindication of Judge-
Advocate-General Holt from the Foul
Slanders of Traitors, Confessor IVi jnrors,
and Suborners, acting in the interest of
Jefferson Davis." In so far as it confines
it-elf to its proper work, we deem this Vin
dication complete. Gen. Holt was duped
by the arch villain who called himself San
ford Conover, as others had been before
him. Deceived by Conover's lies, he gwe
that scoundrel credence and money which
might have been better bestowed. Con
over, thus suppoited, suborned other vil
lains to commit perjuries confirmatory of
his own—all of them received ami accredi
t* d in perfect good faith bv Judge 'lolt :
but. when the House Committee proceeded
to investigate them, some of the second
hand rascals recanted and confessed their
perjury ; whereupon Conover), though he
stoutly reiterated and >tood bv his original t
imposture, soon took occasion to vanish, '
and has since remained invisible. Of j
course, his whole fabric of villainy falls to i
the ground."
The position in which Judge Advocate
Holt and the Tribune arc placed, by these |
admissions, is on? not calculated to elevate ;
either in public esteem.

" I have, as ynu doubtless have seen

1 ave just refurnoii I had a tedious and
fatigueii g trip to and from Philadelphia.
I was quite out, of health a'l t.'ie time, and

barmonv, and prosperity, under the Con

by my presence as it could have been in
anv other wav. I hop*' good will come

Jackson and Johnson,
The Philadelphia Aye, under the head of
" Strange Coincidences," furnishes the fol
lowing facts in the lives of the two Ten
nessee Presidents^:
" Andrew Jackson was born in North
Carolina, emigrated to Tennessee, and was
elected President of the I niteu States.—
During his administration the opposition
were wonderfully exercised oeesitse lie j
dared to remove men from office who op
posed the Government. Andrew Johnson
was abo born in North Carolina, emigrated
to Tennessee, and is now President of the
United States. The opposition are just
now wonderfully exercised about his re
moving men fiom office wl o arc now op
posed to the Govri nment.
Philadelphia was the only great city in
the Union whose municipal authorities re
fused to extend hospitalities to General
Jackson on his visit to the West, and Phil
a lelphii is the first city whose municipal
authorities refused to extend hospitalities to
Andrew Johnson on his visit to the West.
But the people of Philadelphia turned out
en masse to welcome Andrew Jackson, and
bv a decided vote at the pulls sternly re-
I buked the municipal authorities for their
contemptible meanness. The people of
| Philadelphia also turned out en masse to
j welcome Andrew Johnson, and will ad
minister a rebuke to the present municipal
authorities at the ballot-box Strange co
-1 incidences somet-mes happen in this wiek
j ed world of ours."
Another strange coincidence consists in
the names of the two Presidents. By sub
stituting Jack, tlie nickname of John, for j
the latter in the name of our present Presi- j
dent, their two names would be the same
—Andrew Jackson.
