But here are a fow of the fasts : After Congress had declared war, the lower house of the Legialature declared that “ the real eauee of the war ” wee an “ abandon meat of the polio/ of Wash I agio a, aod Abe friends end framer# of the Oeoetirattan/*—« the inflo- •dC« of worthless foreigners over the prom and the Government in all Its branches; a jeal ouay of lira commercial States, (meaning the New Ragland State*,) fear of their power, oon- tempt for their pursuits, end ignorance of their character and importance) and a violent pas- •ion for conquest." The Stale Senate reeolrtd that “ the wsr was founded la falsehood end declared without ne- ceeaity, A combination was formed throughout the New fieglaed States to defeat the eflorts of the Government to obtain money to carry on the war. This conspiracy bad its heed quarters in Boston, end Its influence to prevent thatch ing of loans authorised by Congress extended far and wide, and was most severely felt. The Boston Gasette said: ** It is very grate ful to find that the universal sentiment is, that any man who lends his money to the Govern ment, at the present time, roill forfeit all claim to common honesty and common courtesy among tke true friends of the country.” Again : * Our merchants constitute airdionor- able, high minded, independent and intelli gent class of citisens. They feel the oppree- sioo, Injury and mockery with which they are treated by the GoTcrnment. [The war inter rupted their shipping and trade.—Eds. Cow fbdekacv ] They will lend them money to retrace tboir steps, but none to persevere in tbeir present course. Let every highwayman fi»d his awn pistols." They made the war eo odious, that subscrip tions to the Government loan were made se cretly. Take the following advertisement, wnich waa issued in Boston, by an agent of the Government to recoive subscription! to th« I an to carry on tho war, as an example: Ths Loam.—Subscriptions will be received through the agency of tho subscriber, to the 2<tb instant, inclusive. To avoid the inconvenience of personal ap p arenas to subscribe, applications in writing will be received from any part of the Bute. • e o Toe amount, rate, and name, of any applicant, shall, at his request, be known only tj the subscriber. Jams Pctiak. 80 odious was the war made, and eo hitter was opposition to it, that the Boston merchants defrauded the Government out of ile revenue by smuggling, and found public sentiment to sustain them—eo great was their society de moralised and degraded. One of the leaders of Uie smuggling busi ness wr< te as follows: * Admi'atetrallou hire lings may rerile the Northern States, and the merchants generally; • • • bwt there is a just God who knows how to trace tho canees of human events: and h# will assuredly visit upon the authors of this war all the iniquities of which it baa been the occasion." The Rev. Eltjnh Parsons, of Byfleld, said in a sermon : ** How will the supporters of this anti-Christian warfare eadore their sentence • so endure the fire that forever burns— (he worm which never dies—the hosannahs of Heaven—while the smoke oj their torment as cends forever und ever.” Rev. If r. Osgood, at Medford said : ** Each man who volunteers his services in such a cause, or loans hfs money for Sin support, • * • is an accomplice in the wickedness—loads hie conscience with the blackest crimes— brings the guilt of blood upon his soul, and in ths sight of Ood and His law, is a murderer/' This it the encouragement the United States received at the heeds of the Government end people of Massachusetts, during the war of UI3. They have the same characteristics this day, and nothing could be more unprincipled and selfish than the war they are now making on the South. We have not assailed tbeir in- torests.or tried to interfere with tboir domestic atfairs. In all our natloaal straggles and trials* they have either stood by unconcerned, given aid and comfort to the enemy, or raised their traitorous hands to strike at ui a cowardly fra tricidal blow. They are now exasperated, as a hungry rav enous beast, that has just missed his prey; and, in their fury, utter greet swelling words, end threeten terrible things. Tbeir rage will be impotent. They thought that, because we bed endured the advantages they had al -rays secur ed from us by their sectional, perfidious end corrupt legislation, we would bear any burdens, ani submit to any terms they might see fit te dictate. They find they are mistaken—that in their eager efforts U grasp morn from at, they hate lost what they had) hence, the howl they have set op, and tha furious demon rage Into which they hove leaked themselves. The daj of God's wrathful visitation is upon them. They ere new rasping the bitter fruits of their own siufalusee.

John Beil wonli address tke people at the Court House last night on the condition of public affairs, an immense crowd assembled. He spoke for about three- quarters of an hour, stating, in effect, so far •• present duties end responsibilities are concern ed, the past is a sealed book. The time for ac tion and unity of action in the South had ar rived, and he wee for staadiag by tho South, end defending the South, all the South, egeinat the unnecessary, cruel, unjust, aod wanton war which is being forced upon ue. He recounted, et some length, the efforts which ho had made in the past, and especially with the present administration, to avert this war, and tbe hopes he had cherished for the preservation of peace but those hopes had now vanished, end our du ty was te defend oorselvee, end to make oot mon cause with all our sister slaveholding States of tbe South against a common invad ing foe. He advocated a strong and effective military league, or union, among all tbe slave- holding States, for the successful prosecution of the war; but declined to discuss the question relating to the time and manner and character of a political connection, which he considered more appropriate for a future time. He was for arming tbe State, and organising and equip pint tbe militia, in the amplest and moat ef fective way possible under the circumstances. phlo paper, Ike fo Daw tag la reported U be Ike hi** of 0.Career fleeter, of Arkaaaae. la LiomWa mqrttUloa (or rahralaaaa > ■efcawnadail ft* « atgkhaori af idn- toon from trtum Km* — ooa ;o* 11* Incendiary Publication*.

Extraordinary News. Our neighbor, the •' Intelligencer,” of yts- tarday morning, bad the following item in its telegraphic column: *' Lieutenant Jenifer is reported to have des troyed Farther Point.” Lieut. Jenifer is an officer in the U. S. Army Farther Point is where the foreign news from incoming European steamer* io first received by Carrier Pigeons sent out from the steam ere, before they arrive. What object the U. 8. Government een have in destroying Farther Point we cannot see; and we do not believe Lieut. Jenifer or any other officer in old Abe'a Government could have marched through the British Possessions to Farther Point, and deetroyed it, without meeting with serious resistance from Queen Victoria’s loyal subjects, which we should have heard of before this. Further: we have engaged the Telegraph Company to furnish us all tha news of aoy im portance, from every quarter; and we did not raoeivn tbe intelligence which our neighbor has concerning the deetraetion of Farther Point. We cannot help thinking there must be some mistake about this matter. 49* Hon.
