The-points which I sought by thf Notes
to estaupsL were, among others :
1. That she Military Bills were contrary
.to the Constitution, and destructive of all
.2. That they were contrary •to every
codewf civilized nations, and fu infamous
bad faith to the terms of the fight and the
conditions of sufrenddh ‘
3. That the reasons urged to justify these
measures—such as a desire to restore the
Union, elevate tfee black race, secure
guarantees of future peace, &c., &c.,—were
utterly untrue; inconsh tent, and 'insidious
-vmere pretexts to* cover the only real
purpose, which was to. perpetrate the
power of the Radical party. .Jl.. •

permanent subversion of the Government,
in the degradation ofthe people, in a long
and bloody reign of anarchy, with social,
civil and agrarian wars, resulting, after
unparalleled horrors, in despotism for the
whites of the United States, and in the
extermination, exclusion or political re
enslavement ofthe African race.
5. That the remedy for these evils both
threatened and existing, was a speedy
return, by the people of all sections, to the
Constitution, and the vigorous enfqrce
mentof its remedies against all its violators.
. These are the great, all-absorbing lead
ing questions that I discussed, and sought
to establish by argument, by precedents,
by authorities and by appeals to the good
and by denunciations of the wicked.
And how wonderfuly important are these
great questsons to every creature of every
jaceon the continent,either livingoryet to
live! And how imperative is the duty of
every man who euters the discussion to see
to it that his whole powers be employed
to promote their correct and proper solu
tion. And how does this ex-Governor—
so proud of having been so often chosen
by the people—come to the review of these,
questions ? Reader, anxious reader
how?
1. By writing my biography! Well,
suppose I am as unimportant and un
worthy as the Governor desires me to be,
does that make the military Bile Constitu
tional ? Would it negative a single posi
tion urged in the argument ?
2. Next he devotes three-fourths ofthe
balance of his review to show that I have
often been inconsistent during my life,
and am inconsistent in the argument
{Presented in the “Notes” and in the At
anta speech.
Well, suppose he is right; suppose I
have contradicted myself in every line,
and turned a summersault every hour of
my life; would all tbat prove a right in
Congress to violate the pledged faith ofthe
nation, to subvert the Federal Govern
ment, to abrogate States and deny to free
men trial by jury and all the other glorious
provisions of the Bill of Rights incorporat
ed in the Constitution ?
3. Then he attacks my motives, and
says my only desire is to get office, and my
only real objection to the plan of recon
struction is that I am disfranchised by it.
Well, suppose this is all true; will that
justify the Radical party in desecrating the
Constitution to perpetuate anew party itr
power? Will that lessen the horrors of
-anarchy, or soften the fetters of despotism
to us and our children?
Some, doubtless, would excuse me if I
were to write, in turn, the Governor’s
biography. Some, indeed, may expect it
and desire to relish the production. But
I cannot consent, in a crisis like this, so to
lose my sense of self-respect nor to soil
white paper. I can neither retaliate,
however tempting the material under
proper circumstances; nor can I, under
any circumstances, imitate the plan and
style of his so-calldargument. I will not,
myself, be diverted, nor if I can prevent
it, will I permit the public mind to be
diverted, from the vital and moment
ous issues now pressing us for solu
tion.
If our liberties are to perish; if our Con
stitution is to be abandoned; if a corrupt
Radical will is to be our only law, and a
prescribing Radical oligarchy our only
government; what can honest men care for
office, or decent men for place, or sensible
men for biographies? Who cares to boast
of the number of trines he has- been the
chosen leader of the people, if he lead
them to ruin? Who should desire to be
known to posterity as being among those
who destroyed their liberties, wasted their ‘
patrimony, and bequeathed them nothing
but debt, dishonor and despotism ? Than
such immortality better, far better, that
none of us had been born ! Better now
that mill-stones were hanged to our necks
and we cast into the sea ?
The man who can care for himself while
his country is perishing; who hunts an
office while liberty Is dying; who advises
his people to accept dishonor bicause
reckless power demands it; who joins,
with intent to aid, a party seeking to per-
Ktrate its power by disfranchising intel
jence and enfranchising ignorance, in
violation of the written Constitution ; who
would accept an office by the votes of the
negro race, with threats to oppress and
rob the white race; who praises the bayo
net that pierces the Constitution, and ap
proves the arbitrary will which strikes
down the supremacy of the law; such a
man would have administered the hem
lock to Socrates because the mob desired it;
would have executed Sidney because pow
er decreed it and esteems Barrabas honor-
ed above the Saviour because the rabble,
by overwhelming majority, elected him!
Such a man could stand on the bleeding
corpse of the Constitution and, amid its
death-throes, flatter its murderers of fa
vor !
For myself, my resolution is takeu, my
course is fixed. I feel that my views are
correct. I trus I may be mistaken. I be
lieve unparallelled evils impend, and will
come upon us—all of us—unless the people
awake. lam willing to be decreed a fool,
if thereby the evils can be averted. lam
Willing that my worst enemy shall be cov
ered with glory—shall have an Imperisha
ble monument lifting Us summit till it
catch perpetual sunlight. If his counsel
shall avert the evils. I deplore now, as
never before, the feebleness of my powors.
But with an absolute consciousness in ray
heart, that I have no purpose but to aid in
rescuing, if they can be rescued, the Con
stitution from further desecration, the
government from subversion, the country
from anarchy and all sections, races and
colors from ruin, I cannot be alarmed by
the threats of power, nor tempted by the
officers of usurpers, nor disturbed by the
slanders of the mean, the designing or the
jealous. My humble letters aud speeches,
however feeble, are too many, too plain,
and too earnest to be perverted by muti
lated quotations. Always J besought our
people not to provoke war, not to begin
war, not to abandon the Constitution, but
if war must come, let it find them battling
for their rights la the Union and under
the flag. But when extreme men in both
sections forced a sectional war, and it was
section against section, Us I believed, eve
ry impulse of my heart, and every act of
my lire was with aud for ray own people;
and I despise the man who, looking from
my standpoint, could condemn me. But
the sectional war is over, and yet extreme
men are still refusing to let the Union be
preserved, and still insist on keeping alive
hatred and strife and.distrust. Their con
duct will breed a hundred ww*. I ear
nestly desire to aid in averting wars by
exposing and defeating their wicked
schemes against the Constitution ; but if
wars must come. I beg now, as iu the be
ginning, that our people wiil find and
keep their only true place in the fight— in
the Union, under the flag and for the Con
stitution. Add I plead for this the more
earnestly for the future, since our people
are able to see thb evils which befell them
turns SL'Sff’wssr ?£
neither be driven nor seduced. And
While I scorn the men who, in face of the
fact that their councils have always mis
led the people heretofore, still thrust,them
selves forward as the only worthy advis
ers, and, not ashamed or having guided
the people to ruin, atiii insist upon urginsr
them to dishonor-; yet I-have uo time or
spirit to enter into mere personal contro
versies. Whatever may have been a
man’s errors or mistakes in the past, I am
willing to forget them and love him as a
brother, if he will only now help to save
the aianhood of our people' and the Con
stitution of our country. If our country
can he saved, in that fact alone I shall fiud
reward enough. If the country must be
lost, I pray that I and mine may be-crush
ed by its fall, and may sleep, forgotten, be
neath its wreck, rather than live to prey
on its carcass and be honored by its de
stroyers. "i
Home learned critics tell us that a writer’s
heart can always be discovered in his wri
tings in spite even of any efforts at con
cealment. I believe thlsis true, aud I care
not what enemies, may say, of troubled
apostles may write, I know my heart is in
what I Write, and J fcpow Avery nemrtWe
io«o will lee it, and every honest man will
admit it, and every true man will approve
it.
There are many who know I was drawn
into poiltics in 1855 contrary to ail the
plans of my life, only to aid averting evils
which I sincerely believed Would result
from the repeal of the Missouri Com prom-'
ise. I had again made up my mind to ig
nore politics. But I desired to have peace
myself aud see the counrty have*‘peaee.—
W hen thes Military Bills passed I desired
fully to comprehend them —in meaning,
purpose and tendency, I studied them for
this object. I saw—have no doubt I Say —
as I have announced, that every interest
and all hope was destroyed and blighted
if these bills succeeded. Yeti saw many
honest, good men accepting them from
the most laudable notions. They were
tried, despondent, and anxious for peace.
They were told these measures would
bring peace. I believed they were de
ceived—fearfully deceived. I believed they
were leaping into the fire to escape the
burning; sailing, into anarchy to find
safety; committing suicide to end trouble.
I became painfully convinced that the
Military Bills were iu violation of the
Constitution; of the lawsof nations; ofthe
terms of surrender; and of every hope of
restored peace and union.
With such views silence would have
been a crime. My purpose was to show
these conclusions by argument, and to adr
company the argument with strong but
logical warnings to the mistaken, add
with denunciation of thftrf««i.rnino- t nei-
ther felt nor intended mere personal un
kindness to any living thing. So far from
depreciating replies I coveted them. I
earnestly desired to see if I could be w rong
—determined, if convinced, frankly to
admit. I would love the man who could
show the argument unsound. The Radi
cal press—anonymous scribblers, and the
many wounded have let loose all their
wrath upon me, but have not touched the
argument. Lastly, the Ex-Governor en
tered the lists with a formal review. But
he has scarcely said anything but re-hash
editorials.-I have not seen his sixth arti
cle, but in all the others I have been una
ble to find that he has even taken issue on
the very first point iu the disseussioh. He
has not even said whether, in his opinion,
the Military Bills are Constitutional! Has
he ever said it? Will he ever say it? Dare
he put himself on record as say ing either
that the bills ore-constitutional or uncon
stitutional ? They must beone or the other.
Stupid followers of this political Rabbi,
auxioua inquirers for peace and sufetj, will
make him teach you even his opinion on
this point.
Instead of argument I find my insignifi
cant self most untruthfully assailed;
quotations made from utterances I have
never spoken ; sentiments ascribed to me
at war with my whole life and nature;
my sentences cut iu-twain; different sen
tences taken from ther contexts; and
words changed and added so as to reverse
my meaning. For the sake of truth I am
mortified, but for myself not at all dis
turbed by such work. Will not editors,
scribblers, and reviews all see that in such
writings they are only revealingther hearts,
their purposes ? Do they not perceive that
in every line they Justify my denunciations
and are making startling confession to
mankind that they are deliberately stab
bing the vitals of liberty in the name of
equality; are subverting the Government
under hypocritical pretences of loyality,
and are destroying the Constitution under
cover of oaths to support it ?
I desire only to warn—not threaten ;
’with the kindest motives earnestly to
arouse and not simply to denounce. And
in this spirit I declare what I believe,
’ what I am prepared to demonstaat© with
the most legitimate argument, that these
bills are not only unconstitutional and
illegal, but they embody crimes—high
crimes—against “the good order, peace aud
diguity of the State,” and all ofthe States
—crimes against the dead, against the
living, and against coming millions;
crimes eompared with which the conspira
cy of Cataiine was respectable aud the
treason of Arnold wa* insignificant and
harmless!
How, with such convictions, can I turn
aside for a mere personal controversy? I
scorn such work.
But Governor Brown has made some
statements and disclosures which I think
will enable the people still more clearly to
seethe truth of all I have said touching
these Military Bills and the purposes of
the Radical party, and these I shall deem
It ray duty briefly to notice.

Tlie Cholera.
The Epidemic in Asia— Thrilling History
of its Terrible FataMty—Experience of
an English Traveler.
An English traveler, who witnessed the
scenes he describes, furnishes the Chicago
Journal with a detailed account of the
terrible ravages of the cholera in Asia,
from which we extract a few paragraphs :
AtOmaral waited two days for the
steamer that bail been promised by ttie
Bombay Government to take me iWay to
Kurrachee. [I ran short of water, and was
told the wefts were sick—the water was
bad. Without further delay, I determin
ed to start for Gwadur by camel, and in
ten minutes jsrepared for a journey of two
hundred and fifty miles along the Mekrau
coast. My departure from the place caus
ed a panic, and I had to put back. Du
ring the night rain fell, and attbree o’clock
in the mornlug, I left the village—l hope
forever. As l tried to sleep under my
tent, I can now call to mind that same sad,
continuous wail of those many thousands.
I might describe the lamentations of that
unhappy people as like unto the prayers
of a vast multitude being offered to God
in deep earnestness for assistance.
Owing to the darkness of the night, I
attributed the stumbling of my camel to
the fact oUbeiug unwell. My two com
panions complained of the some with
their auiopls. As soou as daylight ap
peared the muse of this stumbling pre -
seated to us.. The track—for camels,
like locomotives, require tracks to trawl
over-rwas thickly crossed with corpses in
some parts, and as far as the eye could
reach, its direction was marked out over
the vast sandy plain by the same unmis
takable objects. I had met, during my
travels, many cholera skeletons, but had
jfiever WRejatonie across its corpses. For
throe uaysTJe searched -high and low for
water, Bat Aone could we fiud. I made
another stfcifc, and this time with a sick
man. Moffca, my interpreter, became
stricken down. And now I may mention
that our wafor skins flapped by the sides
of the camels, dry and! shriveled. Poor
Moosa suffered much, but became quickly
relieved aboi*% four o’clock one afternoon.
He told me lie would meet “them” some
time in aPfewibours. I fancied he raved,
but was assured in good Saxon we would
come across water during the night. He
knew from the camels. Certainly they
“sang” and appeared most unaccountably
lively all at once.
About midnight we heard a large eara
van approaching. We knew it was an
exteusive one,*as the musical accompani
ments were great. Preceding the actual
caravan by a distance of one hundred yards
a cavalcade of mutes approached us. In
number they exceeded twenty, and among
them they carried ten or fifteen torches,
composed of earthenware pots at the end
of long sticks. These pots are filled with
grease and a little-oil, In which they plaee
their wick. A than mounted upon a trott
ing camel attends to the trimming and
supplying with oft of these torches. We
heard them approaching us for the distance
of a good mile, ctaknting their litany in a
doleful* manner. Following these mutes
came the caravan tftsetf. The lixany for
the dead was sung through the day by the
mutes, and after sunset, the
whole of the. caravan joined in. The mutes
always start the litany by a signal of a
certain number of heats on a tanen taune.
The caravan—a particularly large one—
was composed of three hundred camels,
five hundred horses, many very valuable
ones from Persia, and numbers of mules
and donkeys. It was conveying merchan
dise, such as Persian, carpets, shawls, Shi
raz wine, candles, S&ffwool stuff and dates.
Most of these valuables belonged to a cer
tain lady, who occupied a camel pannier,
opposite to which, another conveyed her
mother, who w$ suffering from cholera.
Among the number of deaths on the
road this lady bad lost her husband, child,
father add brother. The number of per
sons who started with this caravan was
i upwards of a thousond; when I met them,
not ba*f way ©n their journey, the entire
caravan did not muster Seven hundred
souls ;Hhe’remainder had died from chol
era on the road. The remains of the poor
who die in this manner, are dropped on
the line of march, but the body of those
who are wealthy travel with the caravan
iu various ways. After the rich man dies
his body is washed, an operation that is
carried out at great expense, on account of
the water it consumes. The beard, for the
first time in his life, is removed from his
face, and,the trunk is partially embalmed.
He is thrown across the back of a camel,
and travels in this manner sometimes for
months, and never do they bury him until
some appropriate spot is found to inter the
body of the rich, and consequently, the
good man, whom Allah has blessed, so
truly in accordance with the Koran.—
There were upwards of one hundred camels
employed in carrying the dead belonging
to this caravan, and they'occupied the
extreme rear of the line. The only time I
feared the cholera was in passing this
couple hundred dead.
It was dark, and we might have gone
by, bad not their presence been made
known to us by other organs than those of
sight. I purchased two skins of water
from the caravan, and after a week’s jour
ney we found ourselves upon the outskirts
of Gwadur. As w 6 neared the town our
track became literally impassible with the
numbers of the dead and dying, for here
we found that cholera and dysentery were
travelling arm-in-arm. The population
of Gwadur, which is composed partly of
Belooebes and partly of Arabs, amounted
to over one hundred thousand people.—
Passing through narrow alleys, which are
the main streets of the towu, I found a
change had taken place since my lastvisit.
The bazaars were ail closed, the mean
little cases were deserted, and although
the tiny coffee-cup and other necessaries to
the establishment stood upon their accus
tomed shelves, there was no proprietor or
customers to be seen in the house.
Everything was desolation, and save an
unhappy mule that strayed through the
streets, apparently conscious of wbat was
going on, nothing was visible. Here I
found out that there was a total absence
of sanitary regulations—no burial for the
dead, no assistance for the siok. All the
miseries of this town appeared on a gran
der scale than those I had witnessed. at
Omara. The mortality had reached the
frightfull per eentage of thirty-two. In
fact, three-fourths of the population had
been wiped out in the space of six weeks.
The station of the British Political Agent
was besieged. They sought us ont with
the hope of gai ni ng fome assistance. For
a whole week all that our scanty means
would allow was done for the women and
children who came to us, but fn nearly
every case they died, and laid sround- the
bungalow in alarming mimbers.
At night the dogs visited thsir remains,
and at morn the scene was dreadful to
behold. At last we barricaded our bun
galow, and spoke in kindness to these
poor people from out of the upper windows.
Our verandah was full of dead, and the
remains of whole families lie in groups
around us. The sandy plain which sur
rounded us for many miles was thickly
dotted over with corpses, and as each day
buglahs carried away people who were
able to leave the place, soon there was not
a living creature to be seen, and the whole
seene assumed the appearance ofa deserted
burial ground, whose dead had been some
what rudely disinterred. .
The sharp rise of nearly two per cent, in
our Five-twenty Bonds in the London

owing more to the unprecedented plethora
of unemployed money than to auy new

confidence in our oredit. With the pres
ent rates of money in London, and with
the extreme difficulty of using it at

doubt that if our political atfhirs, North
aud Boutli, were in such aspuditlon as to
