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.. • vLSStSßSStsgsttf 'f? 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. it • ' ‘A, », . ‘ f ~:' r Death of an Irish Frenchman.—Mr. MacSheehy, proprietor of the Union of Paris, died in that city on the 26th of last month, at the age of eighty-four years As his name indicates, he was of Irish origin.

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 market, within a few days, Is doubtless, owing more to the unprecedented plethora of unemployed money than to auy new itnpusle that has been given to the public confidence in our oredit.
