'I'tosE BANKRUPT BILL,.
The bankrupt bill which passed the House
a few days since is now under consideration
before the Senate Judiciary Committee- A
member of this committee, says a Washing
ton correspondent, has expressed bis belief
of its final passage, although be himself is
inimical to the measure in its present form.
It is generally admitted by Senators that
there are imperative reasons, in the condi
tion of the South, especially, lor the enact
ment of a Bankrupt law, which will enable
the unfortunate to make a living for them
selves and families without driving them to
the disagreeable necessity of hiding their
little accumulations from the grasp of the
Sheriff and the Constable. If tor nothing
else, a bankrupt law is needed, to save the
integrity ana manhood of thousands of our
ruined people from the sorest of temptations.
Strange to say the strongest opposi
tion to such a measure emanates from the
Western States, where there is a large ele-
meut of the population hopelessly bankrupt,
consisting mostly of broken merchants
whose worthless obligations are held in New
York, Philadelphia and Boston, in which
cities it is equally strange to say commercial
associations favor the passage of the bill now
before the Senate, with perhaps some slight
modifications. Whe think that owing to
non action in the Senate, the fate of this
measure is yet doubtful. The members of
this body seem to have a peculiar relish for
the discussion and consideration of stale,
flat and unprofitable matters, to the almost
entire exclusion of vital questions demand
ing prompt action. Unfortunately it is not
fiow as of yore, whan the Senate contained a
Webster, a Clay, and a Douglass. There
was a day in the history of this country
Then the deliberations of the American
were regarded with interest- But

Ool^NMENT SALES OF GOLD.
It is stated that Secretary McCulloch’s re
ply to the resolution of the House calling
for information in regard to the sale of Go
vernment gold has been sent in. The report,
which is quite leugthy, shows that the
amount of gold sold since the 1st of May last
was thirty-five million four hundred and
forty-four thousand dollars, at an average
premium of about thirty and one-quarter
per cent., realizing to the Treasury over ten
millions ot dollars. It is also 9hown that
about fifteen millions were sold during the
latter part of February. Under the impres
sion that Congress called for this exhibit by
the Treasury Department with the hope and
expedition of its affording some ground for
cen-ure of Secretary McCulloch, a large
number of Northern capitalists have com
municated to leading members of that body
their unqualified - c — -
master piece of financial policy. Another
radical gun spiked before Mr. Stevens could
apply the match.
The Riot at Memphis.—The Congres-
sionsl Committee to investigate the Mem
phis riots closed their labors on the 7th iust.,
and started for Washington, aflqy. a session
of fourteen working daysjn which they have
examined one hundred and seventy wit
nesses, and taken two thousand pa^ts of
testimony, showing the details ot Hie riot,
Its course and results. It is understood that
the full testimony shows the riot to have
been greater in its proportions than accounts
yet published would indicate. Nothing is
known as to the character of the report

Nbw Tenure of Officers.—The bill re
cently introduced in the House regulatfng
the teuure of Federal officers, provides that
hereafter all civil officers appointed by the
President, shall h old office lour years from
the date of their commissions and shall cot
be subjected to- removal during that time,
except for malfeasance in office, and in
ail cases where the advice and consent
of the Senate is required for an appointment,
it shall also be required for removal. Tne
act is not intended to apply to persons hold
ing clerkships.
Fine Cotton Plants.—Mr. J. W. Teeple
yesterday banded into our sanctum somefiue
specimens of Sea Island cottou, in full bios
som, taken from a crop now under cultiva
tion by him aiid R. T. Smilie, at the foie of
Hope, eight miles from the city. They are
planting on about four hundred acres of land,
and have a good prospect for a crop.
Our planting friends on the coast or island
will confer a tavor by forwarding us accounts
of the prospects in their vicinity.
How He Prays.—The Washington corres
pondent of the London Times, describing the
prayers of the Chaplain of the United States
House of Representatives, says: “Sometimes
he startles his hearers by some such passage
as this, which he delivered in a prayer a few
weeks ago: “O Lord, Thou hast governed the
world six thousand years, and we .believe
Thou hast governed it well. ” Thus the ap
probation of Congress was given to the go
vernment of the universe in a way that must
have been very soothing to the pride of all
true Americans. ”
plicated treasure, and we suspect is not cal
culated to impress the public with an ex
alted idea of the wisdom of the present Con
gress. The most remarkable feature of this
bill is the tax of five cents on cotton, with a
proviso that the tax shall be refunded to ex
porters of domestic cotton fabrics. This, of
itself, shows that the new *BI is not framed
in any enlarged spirit of statesmanship or
justice. The burdens of taxation are not
lightened, but are merely shifted; and shifted
io a manner that benefits the few rather than
the many. The manufacturers will be bene-
fitted njore than all other classes, and New
England and Pennsylvania, mors than the
West and the North. What the country
really required and expected, was an im
proved method of taxation, which would dis
tribute the burdens equally ou ail classes
throughout the entire country, and be eco
uomically and easily collected. It was an
ticipated that some new financial troths,
some more equitable principle of taxation
would be deduced from the varied experiences
of our public men upon this subject. But
the long investigations of Mr. Stevens and
his Committee of Ways and Means, have re
sulted iu nothing better than the perpetua
tion of the detestable plan of taxing pro
duction, in place of consumption.
As the opposition to the unwarrantable
tax on cotton is increasing rapidly every
where except in New England, it is expected
that an effort will be made in the Senate to
reduce or abolish it altogether. All intelli
gent men, North as well as South, who are
uot under the dominion of the vile spirit of
lucre, concur in the opinion that the South,
with her ruined resources and changed con
dition of labor, is in no condition to bear
this additonal strain. In a national point of
view even the tax will prove injurious, be
cause it will operate as a direct bounty on
the foreign culture of the article. It is also
certaiD, moreover, to inflict great injury, be
cause it cannot fail to depress still more the
cultivation of the staple, and impose ob
stacles on the success of the new experiment
of free labor in the South.
The discriminating and ruinous tax ou
Southern industry is a beautiful illustration
of the new radical principle of taxation with
out representation. If there were no well
founded objections to the imposition of this
tax, it ought not to be laid till the represen
tatives of the people who are to pay it, have
an opportunity to present the view of then-
constituents. It was the violation of this
great republican principle of govern
ment which initiated the Revolutionary
war and resulted in the achievement
of the independence of the thirteen
colonies. • But, lay aside the ' great prin
ciple for which our fathers fought, the South
is entitled to be heard on this question, says
a Northern cotemporary, on the same prin
ciple which accords to the most atrocious
criminal the right to be heard by counsel in
his own defence. It has been demonstrated
time and again, that the intended tax on
cotton is the most burdensome and oppres
sive tax ever proposed to be laid in the
country. It is indeed half of the average
price of cotton on the plantations in ordinary
years.
This flagrant violation of the Constitution
will be deplored by every patriot, as he sees
in it the outbreak of a malignant and re
vengeful temper, which makes its passions
minister to its cupidity, and takes satisfac
tion ot those it hates by robbing. It is to be
hoped, however, that a sober second thought
may yet induce Congress to reject a measure
that cannot fail to be attended with the
Trnrat nnaaihlft resnlts.
The Overflows Receding in Louisiana.—
The gratifying announcement appears in New

A BOOK OF POEMS FOR THE BENE
FIT OF THE EPISCOPAL ORPHANS’
HOME.
We are indebted to Messrs. Cooper, Olcotts
& Farrelly for a copy of a little work entitled
“A Southern Winter Wreath, Culled for the
Motherless." It consists of original poetical
nieces, written principally by ladies and gen-
uemen of Savannah, but with several pieces
contributed by friends not of the city. All
of the pieces have merit, and they include
many gems of poetry. They are published
for the benefit of the Episcopal Orphans’
Home in Savannah. The following is the
dedication of the work:
“Parentless and portionless ones! children
of onr Orphans' Home! For yon we have
gathered together and bonnd in a garland a
little medley of poesy and rhyme, which has
welled ont in some moment of agony from
the stricken heart of the sorrowing, or been
cast forth in some gladsome hour of mirth by
the prosperous and gay—in either ease the
writers little dreaming that these waifs of the
brain, scattered or lost, would be made, by
passing throngh the mill of benevolence, into
gTain, to be garnered as the staff of life, for a
time, for those who, like lilies of the valley
and the grass of the field, toil not, neither do
they spin, and yet their Heavenly Father
careth for them, and heareth them when they
cry, supplying all their need. ”
The volume is splendidly printed, gilt
edged and handsomely bound. It is from
the celebrated Riverside Press, of Cambridge,
one of the best in the country.
Messrs. Cooper, Olcotts & Farrelly are
selling the book tree of commission, and we
presume other booksellers are doing the
same. It is an ornament to any parlor. Tbe
intrinsic value of the contents should alone
secure it a large circulation, and we are snre
the character of the object for which it is
produced will increase the sale very much.

we cannot find space for it entire in our columns. It
Oils five closely printed columns of tbe largest N<
York dailies. We, however, give below the concluding
portion of tbe report, in which tbe committee re
cap! tulate all the illaged tacts and principles applica
ble to the late “sotealied Confederate States," and
states their concluaiam and reoemmeadations la re
gard to said States: ‘ ! 1 - -
1. Tbe seats of the Senators and Representatives
from the so-called Confederate States became vacant
in tbe year 1861, during tbe second session of the
XXXYlth Congress, by tbe voluntary withdrawal of
their incumbents with tbe sanction and by tbe direc
tion ot tbe legislatures or conventions of their respec
tive States. This was done as a hostile act against the
Constitution and Government of tbe United States,
with a declared intent to overthrow tbe same by
forming a Southern Confederation. This act of de
clared hostility was speedily fallowed by an organiz.
tion of the same States into a confederacy which lived
and waged war by sea^and land against the United
States. This war continued more than four years,
within which tuqg the rebel armies besieged the
national Capital, invaded the loyal States, burned their
towDS and cities, robbed their citizens, destroyd more
than 250,000 loyal soldiers, and imposed an increased
national burden of not less than $3,500,000,000, of
which seven or eight hundred millions have already
been met and paid. From the time that these Con
federate States thus withdrew their representation in
Congress and levied war on the United States, the
great mass of their people became and were insur
gents, rebels, traitors ; and all of them occupied the
political, legal and practical relation of enemies of the
United States. This position is established by acts of
Congress and judicial decisions, and ia recognized
repeatedly by the President in public proclamations,
documents and speeches.
2. The States thus confederated prosecuted then-
war against the United States to final arbitrament, and
did not cease until all their armies were captured,
their military power destroyed, their civil officers.
State and Confederate, taken prisoners or pat to
flight, every vestige of State and Confederate Govern
ment obliterated, their territory overrun and occupied
by the Federal armies, and their people reduced to
the condition of enemies conquered iu war, entitled
only, by public law, to such rights, privileges and
conditions as might be vouchsafed by the conqueror.
This position is also establisbed by judicial decisions,
and is recognized as sound by tbe President iu public
proclamations, documents and speeches.
3. Having voluntarily deprived themselves of repre
sentation in Congress, for the criminal purpose of de
stroying the Federal Union, and, having reduced
themselves by the act oi levying war to the condition
of public enemies they have no right to complain of
temporary exclusion from Congress; but, on the con
trary, having voluntarily renounced the right to repre
sentation, and disqualified themselves by crime from
participating in tne Government, the burden now
rests upon them, before claiming to be reinstated in
their former condition, to show that they are qualified
to resume Federal relations. In order to do this they
must prove that they have established, with the con
sent of the people, Republican forms o r government,
in harmony with the Constitution and laws of the
United States, that all hostile purposes have ceased,
and should give adequate guarantees against future
treason and rebellion; guarantees which shall prove
satisfactory to the Government against which they re
belled, and by whose arms they were subdued.
4. Having by this treasonable withdrawal from Con
gress, and by flagrant rebellion and crime forfeited all
civil and political rigbts and privileges under -the
Federal Constitution, they cau only be restored thereto
by tbe permission and authority of that constitutional
power against which they rebelled, and by which they
were subdued.
6. These rebellious armies were conquered by the
people of the United States, acting through all the co
ordinate branches of the Government, and nut by the
Executive Department alone. The powers of Congress
are not so vested in the President that he cau fix
and regulate the terms of settlement and con
fer Congressional representation upon conquered
rebels and traitors, nor can he in any way
qualify enemies of the Government to exercise its
law-making power. The authority to restore rebels to
pohtical power in the Federal Government can be ex
ercised only with the concurrence of all the Depart
ments in which political power is vested, and hence
the several proclamations of the President to the peo
ple of the Confederate States cannot be considered de
clared, and can only be regarded as provisional per
missions by tbe Commander-in-Chiei of the army to do
certain acts, the effect and validity whereof is to be
determined by the Constitutional Government, and
uot solely by the Executive power.
6. The question before Congress is, then, whether
conquered enemies have tbe right,' and shall be per
mitted at their own pleasure and own terms, to parti
cipate in making laws for their conquerors ? Whether
conquered rebels may ebauge their theatre of opera
tions from the battle-fields, where they were defeated
and overthrown, to the halls of Congress, and their rep
resentatives seize upon ihe Govemmeut which they
iought to destroy? Whether the National Treasury,
the army of the nation, its navy, its forts and arse
nals, its whole civil administration, its credit, its pen
sioners, its widows and orphans of those who perished
in tbe war; the public honor, peace and safety, shall
be turned out io tbe keeping of its recent enemies,
without delay, and without requiring such conditions
as in the opinion of Congress the security ot the coun
try and its institutions may demand ?
7 The history of mankind exhibits no example of
such madness Slid folly. The instinct of self-preser
vation protests against it. The surrender by General
Grant to Lee, and by Sherman to Joiutedti, would have
been disasters ot less magnitude, for‘new armies
could have been raised, buttles fought, and the Gov
ernment saveS. The anti-coercive policy under pre
text of avoiding bloodshed, allowed the rebellion to
take form and gather force; bat it would be surpassed
in infamy by the matchless wickedne-s that would
surrender the halls of Congressfo'tbodeso recently in
rebellion, until proper irrecautioms Shall have been
taken to secure the national feith end the national
safety.
8. As has been shown in this report end in the evi
dence submiited, no proof has been afforded to Con
gress of a constituency in any one oft the so-called
confederate States, unless we except the State ot Ten
nessee, qualified to elect Senators and Representatives
in Congress. N'o State Constitution or amendment to
...... — — sanction ci me peo
ple. Ail and Legislatures has been had under military
dictation. If the President may at his will and nnder
his own authority, whether as military commander
or chief Executive, qualify persons to appoint Sena
tors and elect Representatives, and empower others to
elect and appoint them, he thereby practically controls
the organization of a legislative department. The
constitutional form of government is thereby practi
cally destroyed, and its powers absorbed in the Exe
cutive. And while your committee do not for a mo
ment impute to the President any snch design, but
cheerfully concede to him the most patriotic motives,
they cannot but look with alarm upon a precedent so
fraught with danger to the republic.
9. The necessity of providing adequate safeugards
for tbe future before restoring the insurrectionary
S ates to a participation in the direction of publioat-
fiiini is apparent from the bitter hostility to the Gov
ernment and people of the United States yet existing
throughout the conquered territory, ns proved incon
testably by tbe testimony of many witnesses and un
disputed facts.
IU. The conclusion of your Committee, therefore, is
that tbe so-called Confederate States are noVat pres
ent, entitled to representation in the Congress of the
United States; that before aUowing such representa
tion , adequate security for future peace and safety
should be required; thst this can only be found in
such changes of the organic law as shall determine
the civil rights and privileges of all citizens in aU
parts of the Republic, shall place representation on an
equitable basis, shall fix a stigma upon treason, and
protect the loyal people against future claims for the
expenses incurred in support of rebellion and for
manumitted slaves, together with an express grant in
Congress to enforce these provisions. To tills end
they offer a joint resolution for amending tbe Consti
tution, and the two several bills designed to carry the
same into effect before referred to.
Before closing this report, your committee beg
leave to state that tbe specific recommendations sub
mitted by them are the result of mutual concession,
alter a long and careful comparison of conflicting
opinions. Upon s question of such magnitude, infin
itely important as it is to the future of the Republic,
it was not to be expected that should all think alike.
Sensible of the imperfections of the scheme, your com
mittee submit it to Congress as the best they could
agree upon, in tbe hope that its imperfections may be
cured and its deficiencies supplied by legislative wis
dom, and that when finally adopted it may tend to
restore peace and harmony to tbe whole country, and
to place our Republican institutions on a more Btable
foundation.

Than was considerable of an excitement on the

Kentucky, who hadt a re tan in bis bsviH, approached
Mr. Grinneli, of Iowa, and said he had waited several
days for him to apologize for the outrageous assault
made on him in debate. Mr. Grinneli said, “ I have
no apology to make.” Mr. Bosseau thereupon caned
him, Grinneli making no resistance whatever. When
Bosseau had finished his flagelation of the honorable

offers his own services to the cause. A monarchy in
Mexico he declares to be an impossibility. The re

grades.
Gold—Brokers are baying at 138 a440, and asking

Securities—We hear of no transactions. There ia
little disposition to invest.
The Cotton Tax.—The people ot New
England, especially of Boston, are loud and
violent in their opposition to the proposed
cottan tax. They fear it will discourage the
growth of cotton, and they are much more
dependent for bread on a full supply of cot
ton than are the people of tbe South.
! Savannah Police.—The correspondent of the New
York Times, who recently visited onr city, in his last
letter says:
-On entering the city the attention of tbe stranger
ia attracted by the uniform of the Police, which is
made of gray cloth, with Georgia bottona, and forcibly
brings to remembrance that of the rebel army. In
Richmond and Newbem the Police are uniformed in
blue, with caps, clubs, and everything else in the style
of tbe New York M. P’s. In Charleston they wear
blue blouses, with the Palmetto button. These facta
may, to some minds, possess significance, and on men
tioning it to the Mayor yesterday, he quietly told me
that Savannah had merely adopted the Central Park
uniform. The policemen themselves are certainly the
men* as nearly in fuU as our space will ai-
kind that I bave ever seen in the South. They are
Ex-Confederate soldiers, the majority being natives of
the State, and obtaining their positions through re
commendations of their Old regimental officers. It is

Address from the Ladles’ Hebrew Memo
rial Association.
[From the Richmond Times.]
Reference has already been made to the patriotic
earnestness of the Hebrew ladies oCthis city in taking
care of the grmvfo of the dead who battled for and fell
in defence of the Cause of the South. The following
eloquent address we doubt not will be read with in
terest, and meet with a liberal response:
To the Israelites of the South:
While the world yet rings with the narrative of a
brave people’s struggle for independence, and while
the story of the hardships so nobly endured for liber
ty’" sake is yet a theme but half exhausted, the count
less graves of the myriads of heroes who spilled their
noble blood in defence of that glorious cause Us neg
lected, not alone unmarked by tablet or sculptured
urn, but literally vanishing before the relentless finger
of'rime.
Within the past few weeks there havs bean formed,
by the ladies of Richmond, two associations, vix: ths
“HoUywood” and “Oakwood,” having for their ob
ject the care and renovation of ths soldiers’ graves in
those cemeteries.
Contemporaneously with the above, we, “the He
brew ladies,” formed s' similar association, with s
view of caring for tbe graves of Jewish soldiers, which,
of course, would not be embraced in the work of
either of the first-named societies.
In our cemetery repose, alas I the sacred remains
of many a loved brother, eon and husband, to whose
relatives in the far sunny Sooth it would be a solace
to know that the pious duty of preserving from de-
by the members of the “Hebrew ladles’ Memorial
Association.”
It is our intention to mound and turf each grave,
and to place at the head of esefa • simple stone, In
scribed with the name, Stats, and time and place of
death; subsequently to rear a monament commsmo-
rnttve of their brave deeds.
In order, however, to successfully accomplish our
object, we need some pecuniary assistance. Onr scant
and somewhat needy oommunity (already so heavily
taxed) has dons waJL Bat we find “this week tattoo
great for ns.” Therefore, with a foU confidence nr -
tts sympathy snd co-operation of onr people else
where, we make this appeal for aid, weU knowing that,
•a Israelites and true patriots, they wiU not refuse to
assist in resting s monument which shaU serve net
only to commemorate the bravery of onr dead, but tbe
gratitude and admiration of the living for those who
so nobly perished in what we deemed a just and righ
teous cause; and while, as Israelites, we mourn Ota
untimely loss of onr laved, opes. It will be a grateful
reflection that they affflhrsanot their country to ca8
In time to come, when «er grief shaU have beoooae,
in a measure, siitmoed, and when the malkrioestoagas
of slander, ever so ready to asasll Israel, shall be
raised against ua,-tfcsn with a foaling of mournful
pride wiU we patat tolhs monument snd say,
"There is our reply.

the result of the i
tone and' spirit; but this In time gave way to a better
feeling. We began to have confidence in the Presi
dent, in Congress, and the great body of the Northern
people. The President, by proclamations of amnesty

Horace Greely demanded only the partial enfranchise

seemed to he settling down upon ideas within the
pale of the Constitution, and which were readily acqui
esced tn by the South. Ths whole oountry breathed
freesr, aa the impression grew strong that the Consti
tution was again about to be the great bond of Union
between aU the
The terms agreed upon between Generals Grant and
Lea, Sherman snd Johnson snd others, together with
tbe paroles granted, guaranteeing to tbs Confederates
all the rights they had on the 1st day of January, 1M1,
upon ths condition of their faithfully keeping their
paroles, led everybody to believe that a national love-
feast was about tobs inaugurated, toWeloomebsck the
wayward sistsrs to their pieces in the great American
Uhion. In view of all this the general joy was un
bounded. but it was of short duration. The Govern
ors of the several States were deposed, the Courts
closed and the laws suspended; foa months the civil
lag was over-ridden by the military. Foreigners, who
were mere adventurers, holding military commissions
ia the servios-of ths United States were made the sole
arbiters of the lives and fortunes of the people whose
houses were seized, their property sequestrated, and
they themselves imprisoned, fined, and otherwise pun
ished without cause, or even a pretext. In the mean
time we were required to call conventions, and by fun
damental law, abolish at once the relation of master
and slave, and provide by law for the protection of tbe
flatter in tire new relation of a freedman. He must be
made equal before the law with his former master.
All this was done, and the President and Secretary of
State, congratulated the several States upon what they
had done. Under the new constitutions, new Govern
ors snd Legislatures were elected, and also members
of Congress. Ihe return to civil law, after a reign of
terror under military rule, reassured the whole coun
try, and new life infused into everything. Cities
which the fire of war had destroyed, again showed
signs of life, and everywhere zeal and energy marked
the beginning of a brighter and a better day.
Congress met. The Southern members were not
allowed.to take their seats. A committee of fifteen waa
appointed to have exclnsive control of the subject, the
great object being to keep the eleve^ Southern States
from being represented. Amendments to the Consti
tution by scores were proposed, aU looking to tbe dis
franchisement and disgrace of the Southern people—-
to obliteration of State tines, and the consolidation of
power in the hands of a huge aristocracy.
To effect this the Constitution must be changed.
The rights of the State to regulate the question of suf
frage must be amended, the white man must be dis-
franebished, and tbe negro enfranchished. And it
will bs done.
The president, and a few earnest and faithful men,
have, from the first, looked the storm in the face,
amidst threats of assassination, impeachment snd ex
pulsion. They have undeviatingty bore themselves
like brave men intent upon the preservation of the
Constitution and ail that is left of civil liberty.
But all they have done, and all they will be able to
do, cannot avail. Our cause seems hopeless. We must
prepare for the worst. Capital instead of coining into
the country is leaving it. The great staples, cotton
and tobacco, are taxed so heavily as to forbid tbeir
production. Is it reasonabe to suppose that tbe newly
enfranchised negro will do all the voting end raise
cotton besides? I think not. But the worst of all is
the rapid decay of the spirit of Liberty, as seen in the
tendencies of the times. The flood gates of corrup
tion are let loose; violence, bloodshed, peculation, ail
go to prove the disjointed state of society, and the
utter ruin of the public morals.
Secretary Seward in his Auburn speech the other
day, alluded to the design, and declared that the cohn-
try sould not long endure it. But he was hopeful that
something could be done.
Bat what is being done to arreat this downward
tendency ? Not only is nothing being done to atop
the progress of evil, but firejs piled on fire, and I do
not believe it possible to arrest its fury. Oh, for s
Clay—a Jackson, or a Webster, to exalt the Constitu
tion, and bring this people back to tbe true spirit of
liberty. But anarchy is iipqn us, and we should pre
pare our minds for it Paradoxical aa it may seem, it
is none the less true, that liberty and slavery was band
in hand out of the gates of Rome. Twelve centuries
of despotic night attestolhe ruin that followed. Look
at Mexico—look at any country where slavery has
been abolished, and read the fete that seems impend
ing over our own heads. I need not discuss the
incurable. Consider the temper of Congress, snd of
the Northern people, and «sk yourself how many
generations it will take to restore the homogenity of
the American, people.
nler, the great historian, said in 1850 that the
American people would certainly Toose their liberty,
and be Bared tbeir civilization also. Ellwood Fisher, PpfWjnfP PrilYKlAIlU
one of thefiret Intellects of the country, and who-died IIUUIIW;, X IU V lSlUllNj
in this city in 1863, of a broken heart, said at the close
«ff a speech of greet ability in Cincinnati in 1858, the
epitaph of this countsy would be: “Here liee e-people
who, in giving liberty to tbe stave, lost their own free
dom.” Alas! too truly I fear, have both of them
spoken. Wo may differ as to the means of overcom
ing existing troubles, bat there is one sentiment in
which 1 hope we all agree, snd thst is “God save our
country.”
