A DREAM— BY GRANBY.-
I bad a dream •which did embody forth
So much of what lia» been, uud what is now,
And had, withal such a prophetic cast,
I will recall It, even as it pass’d
Athwart my vhion wrapp’d in deepest trance.
A Very Material Difference.—The Sa- 1
vannch Herald makes the following correc
tion, which explains the discrepancy in the
cholera reports from Tvbee:
Correction.—In our publication yesterday
morning, of the names of those who died
from cholera on Tybec Island, we omitted to
mention that those names with a dash under
the head of died arc in rite hospital, sick.
Sixth District.—The Convention for this,
District met at Gainesville on the 2Sth ult.,
and elected lion. John H. Christy and Col. R.
McMillan as delegates, and Hon. Hiram P.
Bell and Col. Sumner J. Smith, alternates.
Hon. Alexander H.. Stephens, Hon. H. V.
Johnson, Hon. Ben. H. Hill, and Gen. A. J.
Hansell, were recommended as delegates from
the State at large.
ggf”The New York World states that a
combination of capitalists in New York have
bought $0,000,000 in gold, and intend to buy
more, in order to An up the price when there
is a favorable opportunity. These combina
tions are frequently made, but they fail in
their object quite as often as they succeed.—
Gold speculating, like anyother kind of ven
ture, frequently ends in breaking those who
indulge m it.
The President has nominated and sent
to the Senate the names of the following gen
tlemen as Commissioners on the part of the
United States to the Universal Exhibition to
be held in Paris, in 1867, viz: James n.
Bowen, New York; J. P. Lesley, Pennsylva
nia; Henry Failing. Oregon: John P. Ken
nedy, Maryland; William Slade, Ohio; John
Ericcson, New York; Samuel B. Ruggles,
New York; J. Lawrence Smith, Kentucky;
• Louis Agassiz, Massachusetts; and Henry
Darbinny, Michigan.
ORPHANS’ BENEFIT.
To-night at Concert Hall will be the Bene
fit night of the Macon Orphan School. Let it
be seen that Macon knows how', in talcing
car* of the children, she remembers those who
fought and died for Southern independence.
Let it be seen that she appreciates and hon
ors the sacrifices the fathers made by educat
ing the orphan children. Humanity, patri
otism and gratitude all incite her to give the
orphans a handsome benefit to-night.
A letter received in this city announces
that Dr. Samson will arrive this evening.
Before me lay a fair and koo<HJ land,
So rich, and green, and bright it was, it Mem d
The garden spot of earth: here richest fruits
And flowers charm’d tnc eye, and filled the air
With sweetest odours; there Cereal fruits
la rank luxuriance grew; and interspers’d <
Were lofty mountains, plains, and smiling vales,
While through it all, in many a devious course,
Great rivers rush’d, and brooks, and glittering
tarns.
Its climate was most mild, and health and lite
Were wafted on its every perfumed breere.
Th island was peopled, and 'twas dotted o’er
W.th cities vast, and towns, and sunny home*.
They were an active people, and were bless’d
With wealth, and every good that man can wish.
Or bounteous nature give. And I beheld ^ ■
A line—by man or nature drawn I know
Net which, perhaps by both—dividing this
Fair land In two great parts; and they were known
The flowery as South, the other North:
And they in name were one, but yet were two,
Far envious hate had come between, and cut
Those ties which could alone have made them one.
The President’s Private Secretary.—
The Washington special of the New York
Times, of the 24th says. Col. Cooper now
acting as the President’s Private Secretary,
will take his scat in the House to-morrow as a
Representative from Tennessee. During the
recess of Congress he will voluntarily give
his assistance to the President in Executive
business, but, of course, only in the capacity of
a private citizen. The President has not yet
designated a Private Secretary, and it is not
probable that he will appoint one for some
months. The officers of his household, under
the law just passed, will be named in the
course of next week.
TnE Radical Congress.—The night seas-
ion, of the House of Representatives lasting
until Saturday morning, was filled with dis
gusting scenes. Liquor flowed pretty freely
from several committee rooms, and the result
was fully exhibited on the floor of the House.
In one instauce tellers were appointed who
were unable to stand in their places; and the
account they reported to the House ran a
hundred over a quorum. Members voted
early and often to make it appear that a
quorum was present. Jokes were related and
stories told. A dozen or so members at one
time had pitched battles with paper wads,
books, etc., which were flung through the air
in the hall.
. _ * The New York Evening Post, July 21,
ays “the Senate yesterday permitted itself to
te outraged by the reading of a most indecent
lespatch from Gov. Brownlow, of Tennessce >
o J. W. Forney, the Secretary of the Senate,
rhich despatch, it seems, Mr. Forney had pre-
iously published in his paper. Wc hope the
lenato will yet vindicate its self-respect by
lismissing from his place of Secretary a per-
on who conld thus violate the decencies of
Lfc, and show such flagrant disrespect to the
iffico of the Chief Magistrate as he did by
asking public Gov. Brownlow’s despatch.—
["he Senate owes it to its own dignity, and to
he preservation of the public morals, to to—
ieve from duty immediately an officer who
tas so little sense of propriety and decency as
ilr. Forney has just shown.”
Cold Comfort.—The Union men of the
outh who took sides against their section in
le late war, and endured many things hard
> bear by reason thereof, are having a hard
me of it with their Radical iriends in Con-
ress, who should treat them better. When
tey arc nominated for office, they are rejected
l account of some little flaw* in their history;
id when a proposition is made to pay them
>r food and necessaries furnished the Nothern
rmy when it was desolating and subjugating
ie South, the just debt is contemptuously
tpudiated. This is hard, but it is accord-
ig to human nature. Nobody thinks well of
man who is against his country and in sym-
ntby with its enemies—not even those who
rofit by his defection. And then, again, it
, a safe rule never to trust to bad men for
nything that is honest. Our Union friends
ave poor encouragement, but they have at
:ast learned a lesson that may be profitable to
tern in the future.
Cotton Crop and Prices.—A few weeks
o the dry goods trade of New York esti-
ited the cotton crop of the present season
only eleven hundred thousand bales. Now,
s Independent, an organ of that trade, es-
nates the crop at three millions of bales.—
iough the season has been more propitious
in was expected, this would seem to be a
Id exaggeration, and bettor, a good deal,
guide buyers than producers. But the
me organ states, as a fact, that cotton agents
ve contracted for the delivery of crops at
enty-fivc cents, currency, and that they
ve contracted with planters in Georgia and
abanra for the product ot their fields at
;li teen cents. It states, further, that plant-
i are desirous of selling their growing crops,
livcrable in November, at prices much less
m present rates.
Wc have only to add, for ourselves, that
believe the Independent is as much misin.
med on the subject of its calculations as it
m its facts. We feel sure that no such terms
aid be had from any sensible Georgia
uter.
“A change came o’er the spirit of my dream.”
The two were now at war: on either side.
With Impulse of near life, great armies form’d,
Then met in battle’* shock, and then recoil’d,
To meet again in fiercer conflict joined.
I saw the tide of war now from the line
Recede upon the South. her patriot sons ., t i i •
In vain oppos’d to overwhelming odds,
A fiercer zeal, and hearts more firmly knit:
What gain to them if e’en on every field
Impetuous valor won the dreadful day ?
Where men are few, and ne’er can be replac’d—
Their foes more strong, and stubborn in their hate,
Who cannot see the weaker’® victories
Must in the end prove utter, mad defeat?
Now o’er this land, from farthest North to where
The Mexic waters 6wecp, a mighty cloud •
Hung like a pall, darlq ominous and still!
“ a change came o’er the spirit of my dream.”
The flowery land no longer bloom’d; I saw
The sword and brand throughout its broad extent
Relentless sweep; no sex, nor age was spar’d,
Nor growing vegetation: all went down
Before tbe fell destroyer War: Famine
And Pestilence ^pre now familiar grown;
In every house—those that were spared—were seen
The signs of mourning; children quit their play
To talk of things which were beyond their years,
And maids and matrons nurtured thoughts more fit
For days of Spartan virtue; men too old
To fight, would enrse their Impotence, and sigh
For manhood’s vigorous sge; all sonnda of joy
And gaiety were hash’d; a sullen grief
And smother’d hate were in each heart and eye.
Of her defenders bnt a remnant now
Was left, who still with dauntless souls maintain’d
Tbe unequal strife; while yet from out the North
Vast armies rolled in one continuous stream,
And closed around in serried ranks and full,
The still undaunted but devoted Few.
Tbe cloud-ill-boding sign still draped the sky,
And o’er the South more black and threatening
grew.
“A change came o’er the spirit of my dream.”
Within an open field, for the last time,
Were drawn In line a remnant of the Fern:
Like statues stood their scarf'd and vet’ran forms;
Their arms cross’d on their bi easts; a settled gloom
On each bronz’d face—as if their all was lost.
Those arms, which had so well yet vainly serv’d,
Were stack’d—to hear the glad command take arm*'
At Freedom’s call no more: belore them stood
A loved and well known form, that chief who erst,
On many a bard fought field, bad led them on
To glory: years of care, and recent grief
Had mark’d his noble face, yet still erect
He stood, as conscious be Ltd done all he
Could do—his duty. Near him stood he who
Successfully had led the Northern host;
That host, across the field in battle’s line
Array’d, extended farther than the eye
Could reach, into the forests on esch side.
At length the fated moment came; and as
The Southern Patriot yielded up his sword,
Tbe massive cloud o’erhead did roll and toss
Like angry Ocean’s wave; and I conld see,
From out their graves, those vainly sacrificed
In Freedom’s cause, raise up tbeirfleshless forms,
And stretch to Heaven their hands, as if its aid,
Or vengeance to implore—then with a groan
Sink back again to earth—perchance to sleep,
But not to rut, tor they lie unavenged!
"A change came o’er tbe spirit of my dream.”
Methougbt I stood within a high and stately
hall—
The Nation’s Capitol—once resonant,
In day* long poet, with burning eloquence,
With patriot-zeal, and matured wisdom’s words;
Those were the days when North and South were
there.
Tho North alone is represented now.
But to return: Before me stood, or sat,
Or lolled a motley group,- and ’round, above,
Amongst them, I beheld the gliding forms
Of damned fiends. Here, Envy, whisper’d one,
Another Hate, and Falsehood touched a third,
Here with a group close cabal Mammon held,
And Alcohol was there most intimate.
With some, and Bribery barefaced; and all
Did work into the self-same object—Hell!
And dastard Fear was stamped on every brow,
As jackal-like they tore the lifeless Prey
That braver men bad killed. “Oh, Heaven!” 1
cried,
“Canst thou behold this scene and still withhold
Thy hand Y“ And as I spake, a shadow deep
And dark did settle down on that high hall,
Enshrouding it in blackcstnight—most ominous
To those whose deeds would shame tho night
I stepped
Without, and looking Southward, saw the cloud
Break up, and in great waves to Northward roll!
"A change came o’er tho spirit of my dream.”
Upon the shore of Utah's briny sea
I stood, tho lake lay calm before me, and
Around rose lifeless trees, lifeless, yet full
Of life, for midst their leafless boughs, there Eat
.A crowd of tragic looking Apes; smoke-dried,
And wizen'd were their visages; and from
Their watery, smoke-blear’d eyes bewilder’d
look’d
A half remembrance of some former state,
And here they sat, passing the unheeded timq,
Grinning and gibbering as only Apes can do,
Whilst standing there and gazing on this scene,
There came a voice which whisper'd me these
words:
“Behold, and hear! these simpering forms were
once—
Of mortal race, endowed with human souls:
Theircountrymen, with trusts of high import,
Did honor them, but they did faithless prove;
They warning had, but yet they heeded not,
They saw handwriting on the aky, and yet
They read it not. Behold their doom most fit—
Changed into Apes,* to idly chatter thus
Unto the end of time—Eternity
May show another doom.” So mote it be.
My dream here ends; what need of further
change?
Let him who reads—and 'tia most plainly writ—
Read it aright; but if thou still art blind,
Go, ask of God, and he will thus reply:
“I nave been wrong’d, and Truth and Justice
wrong’d.
Righthas been crush’d, Oppression madeto boast:
Behold my hand! the Bight shall be aveng’d!”
If yet unsatisfied, to Nature turn,
And she will thus the riddle more unfold:
B I have been outrag’d, thus most foully wrong'd;
A lot of dwarfish, drivelling souls, that I
Had destin'd to some lecherous Apes, have crept
Somehow in forms of human tnculd, and wbat
Is yet more strange, with Apish cunning, they
Have crept to power,and with presumption high,
O, foul burlesque!—as Legislators sit.
Oh! servile man, Nature doth pity thee—
Pespii-e and pity; yet she flings thee hope,
Oh, catch it drowning men, and hear her cry
With Clarion voice, * arise ye wrong'd and glut
Your !rc.'+ Aye. ye iciU hear, and ye will act,
Will re-assert vour rights, retnovo yon Apes,
Then we, both you and I, may rest in peace,
And Nature's equilibrium be restored.”
•Carlyle, in his Past and Present, gives a Mos-
sletn story concerning some men liviugon’the
shores of the Dead Sea, who wero changed iuto
Apes for wilful persistence in evil. To his ac
count of tbe fable, tho author is indebted for the
idea and several expressions contained in the last

in living within her income, while she has
long6ince exhausted her patrimony. She
drives the fastest horses in the place, and she
makes the most beautiful marbles ever looked
upon.” Now, so far as the patrimony goes,
in spite of its having been long since exhaus
ted, it is all at the present moment safely in

horses go, (which never is very far,) it is
quite true that I drive them, when I om not

English Courtesy of the Press.—In this
country it has lieen quite common for public
speakers to disparage the press, though it
cannot be denied that they usually are indebt
ed to newspaper influence for a large share of
their importance. In England the case is
quite different. When Dr. D’lsraeli was speak
ing at tho late Derby banquet, a reporter sit
ting behind him missed a sentence, and some
what audibly expressed bis annoyance. Mr.
DTaraei overheard him,and immediately seem
ing to hesitate, repeated the words, only the
reporter knowing why he did so. Lord Stan
ley often shows similar regard for members
of the press. A short time since, a reporter,
wishing some information in regard to a
speech of the Chancellor 6f the Exchequer,
addressed him a hurried note on the subject
The next day the Chancellor called upon him
and gave him the desired information.
Cuthbert.—It is said that in past years,
the beautiful and refined town ot Cutlibert,
was noted for sectarian bitterness and strife.
Colleges were built up—schools and other
secular interests supported or opposed with
sole reference to religious communion, and
the effects were every where visible in tbe
social circle. That cloud has vanished and
wc hope forever. Tlic Revs. Mr. Muse, and
Mr. Dnggof the Baptist Church, and the

tomers who are to make their first appear
ance in our city this Fall.
In this connection we would remark that
h'lere is no public convenience more valuable
to the commercial interests of a city than
commodious and well constructed wharves.—
It is, therefore, of the highest importance
that those of our city at present in a dilapi
dated condition should be thoroughly repair
ed in time for the Fall trade. Let us have
everything in complete order for the com
mencement of a business season which prom
ises to contribute so largely to the commer
cial prosperity of our city.
The Cotton Crop.—Mr. Benj. C. Truman,
the well-known correspondent of the New
York Times, who has been in the South ever
sinco the close ot the war, closely observing
its agricultural progress, has published a very
interesting letter upon the cotton crop this
year, which he considers very tavorahlc in
deed, and much larger than has been antici
pated. His observations have been made
chiefly in the nine cotton-growing States given
below. In these States, he says, ‘‘there will
be over 2,600,000 bales of cotton made this
year if nothing else of ii serious nature hap
pens. Nothing can happen now, except vio
lent storms or a drouth, to damage the plant.
The idea that the freedmen would not work
this hot weather ha* entirely passed away.—
They must work, like eveybody else—their
bread and butter depends upon it. I con
sider, too, that the crop this year will be a
better picked, better cleaned and better pack
ed one than ever before.” In conclusion, he
f ives the following table, estimating tbe crop
y States, compared with the number of bales
made in I860:

In a speech unde soux* months since the
President remarked emphatically that thc
oath to support the Constitution of the United
States implied all that any officer ought to he
required to swear to. Consistently with this
remark, nnd in anticipation of the action of
the Philadelphia Convention,, liis organ - (the
National Republican) contained on Wednes
day morning a leading editorial argument
ngninjft the'necessity kndj propriety of test
oiitfis. ^Coming from buch ti source, nnd un
der existing circumstances, we regard tbe ar
ticle us both significant and important, and
accordingly reproduce a portion of its reason
ing. The Republican says;
“Among the inventions which resulted
from thc supposed or real necessities of our
recent war was what is commonly called the
test oath, by -which, in addition to thc usual
obligation to support thc Constitution and
perform official duties, public officers were re
quired to swear that they had neither directly
nor indirectly participated in, or in any man
ner aided the rebellion. This, for aught we
have to say to the contrary, was a judicious
provision at the time it was enacted, and sub
sequently to the end of the war.
“But we have doubts of its propriety now
that the necessity which called for it is pas.-cd.
And our doubts are greatly strengthened by
evidence that it is being used in some instan
ces to the prejudice of tlie public service.—
Second, third, and even fourth rate men in
the Southern States arc frequently entrusted
with important public duties merely because
first-rate men in the same localities, although
now equally loyal to the Government, cannot
take this oatli*. The anti-reconciliationists
roll it as a sweet morsel of vengeance under
their tongues upon thc late insurrectionists,
merely, 'as one of their number recently
said in a public speech, to let them know
that “there is a punishment after death.” It
suits precisely that class of bigots whom we
find in most cf our churches no w-a-days, who
are as busily employed in expelling members
from thc church as the clergyman is in get
ting them in—Christians of the Deacon Snif
fles species, who devoutly prayed for thc sal
vation of “me nnd my wife, my sen John and
his wife—we four and no more.” But it smacks
too much of hide-bound proscription of our
fellow-men merely because they have, at a
fonner period, been guilty of wrong-doing,
to suit the spirit of the age in time of peace.
“Badly as any of our southern brethren
have acted, they are nevertheless members of
our great political family, and must sooner
or later be awarded their seats at thc family
table. What public good can be attained bv
excluding them from it any longer?”

A New Cure for Cholera.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commer
cial, writing from London, under date of July
7th, thus speakes of a new remedy for cliole-
ra:
Great interest is just now felt in the success
ful case of cholera by Dr. Rubini, of Naples.
Camphor, as a cure for cholera, lias long been
used by both schools of medicine, and Dr.
Rubini’s innovation consists in the mode of
preparing the remedy. Tlie essential facts of
the easel will now state as they have been re
ported here by an English gentleman:
Dr. Rubiui’s preparation consists of equal
parts, by weight, of camphor and spirits, and
to the power thus obtained he attributes bis
success in the treatment of the disease. And
here I may say that tlie quantity of camphor
which water will take up is smidl. To ob
tain, therefore, the “saturated spirits of cam
phor ot Rubini” it is necessary to distill spir
its of wine, and get rid of so much of its wa
ter as will bring it to 60 degrees overproof, in
which condition it will dissolve and hold in
solution its own weight in camphor.
With this “saturated spirits of camphor,”
Dr. Rubini, an eminent Neapolitan physician,
lias treated in Naples 592 cases ot Asiatic chol
era without the loss of a single patient. Of
these 592 cases, 200 were cured in thc Royal
alms-house, 11 in the Royal poor house, 166
in the Third Swiss regiment of Wolff. That
the 377 cases treated by Dr. Rubiui in these
public institutions were all genuine cases of
Asiatic cholera, and some “terribly severe,”
and that all recovered, the evidence of the
following distinguished individuals, with
their official seals attached, sufficiently attests
the fact:
II. Generate Goverratore Ricci; II Maggi-
ofe Uommandante Nicola Form; H Capitano
Conimandante Carlo Sodero; Generale Com-
mandante Fileppo Rucci; Colonel Ednordo
Wolff. f
The method of cure is as follows:
“ When a man is seized with the cholera,
he should at once,” says Rubini, “ lie down,
be well wrapped up in blankets, and take
every five minutes four drops of tlie saturated
tincture of camphor. In very severe cases
the dose ought to bo increased to from five
to twenty drops every five minutes. In the
case of a man of advanced age, accustomed
to take wine nnd spirits, where the drug giv
en in drops has no effect, give a small coffee-
spoonful every five minutes, and iu a very
short time the coveted reaction will occur.—
Ordinarily in two, three or four hours, abun
dant perspiration will come out, and then
cure will follow.” “ The preventive method,”
writes Dr. Rubini, “ is tbis: let those who
are in good health, while living in accor
dance with their usual habits, take every day
five drops of the saturated spirits of camphor
upon a small lump of sugar, (water must
never be used as a medium, or the camphor
will become solid, and its curative properties
cease,) and repeat the dose three or tour times
a day.” Spices, aromatic herbs, coffee, tea
and spirituous liquors should be avoided.”
each House shall then be read, and if thc
same person shall have received a majority of
all the votes in each House, such person shall
be declared duly elected Senator to represent
the said State in the Congress of the United
States, but if tlie same person shall not re
ceive a majority of the votes in each House,
or it either House shall have failed to take
proceedings as required by this act, the joint
Assembly shall proceed to choose, by a rica
voce vote of each member present, and a per
son for the purpose aforesaid; and the person
having the majority of all the votes of the
said joint Assembly, a majority of all tbe
members elected to both Houses being pres
ent and voting, shall be declared duly elect
ed ; and in case no person shall receive such
majority on the first day, the joint Assembly
shall meet at 12 o’clock, meridian, of each
succeeding day, during the session of the Leg
islature, and take at least one vote, until a
Senator shall be elected.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That
whenever, on the meeting of the Legislature
ot any State, a vacancy shall exist in the rep
resentation of such State, in the Senate ot
the United States, said Legislature shall pro
ceed on the second Tuesday after the com
mencement and organization of its session, to
elect a person to fill such vacancy, in the
manner herein before provided for the elec
tion of a Senator for a lull term; and if a
vacant shall happen during the session of
the Legrelature, then on the second Tuesday
after the Legislature shall have been organ
ized and shall have notice of such vacancy.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That it
shall be the duty of the Governor of the State
from which any Senator shall have been cho
sen as aforesaid, to certify his election, under
the seal of the State, to the President of the
Senate of the United States, which certificate
shall be countersigned by the Secretary of
the State. .

A Prophecy Fulfilled.
In a speech delivered by Daniel Webster,
at Faneuil Hall, on thc 7th of March, 1850, we
find the following remarkable prophecy:
“If the Infernal fanatics and abolitionists
ever get power in their hands, they will over
ride the Constitution, set tlie Supreme Court
at defiance, make laws to suit themselves, lay
violent hands on those who differ with them
in their opinions, or dare question their in-
fallability and finally bankrupt • the country,
and deluge it in blood.
How wonderfully has this prophecy been
verified in the last three years. Not the
slightest portion of jt remains unfulfilled.—
The Jacobins have gone even beyond all
that Jlr. Webster feared. Not only have
thev overridden tlie Constitution, but they
have changed it in some of its most im
portant features, and they are still labor
ing to deface and destroy it; they have
not only set the Supreme Court at de
fiance, but they have disregarde-i all the re
quirements of law and decency and established
a central Junto, from whose edicts there was
no appeal; they have made laws which suit
themselves and no one else, and which are a
disgrace to our statute books: and they have
notonly laid violent hands upon those who
hare dared to differ with them, but they have
subjected them to long and dreary imprison
ment, and would now, if they had the power,
erect a gallows in every neighborhood in the
Southern States and keep them constantly
employed in the execution of men condemned
by drum-head court-martial for imaginary
crimes. And, in addition to all this, they
have bankrupted thc nation and deluged it
in blood. No party, in any enlightened land,
lias ever written such a record of folly, im
becility and crime. Its measures have been,
and are now, all of the most desperate char
acter, having no reference to the public good,
but looking alone to the perpetuation of their
power.

Stand by the President.
The support of the President of tlie United
States at the present time by the people of
South, is as necessary to our political life as
light, air, and breath are essential to our
physical existence. The crisis has come.
The issue has been made. The Radicals,
with black flag, skull and cross-bones, con
front the conservatives, who. rallying under
the banner of their Constitution, have begun
the defense of the little real republican liber
ty left. The latter now line tho entrench
ments that hold in check the hordes of Negro-
pholists who would override and wipe out
what remains of American institutions.—
One fortress is already taken. Tennes
see has yielded to the siege, and Col
orado and Montana will probably send
their congressional reinforcements to
strengthen the piratical position. Not
withstanding these drawbacks, however, we
need not fear. The prospects are gloomy,
but the people—the masses—are rallying to
the aid of the President, and if we do our
duty as a united South, we too may contrib
ute strength, the influence of which will act
as beneficially on the North as it will react on
us at home. There are strange mutterings
of civil war in the breezes that comes to us
from across to Potomac; strange sounds greet
our ears from the hallsjof national legisla
tion ; and strange threats are made by hell-
inflamed leaders, some of whom have worn the
garb of Federal Generals, which tell us that a
bloodier struggle for civil liberty, in resisting
the establishment of a despotism, may yet
again darken the record of this Nineteenth
Century. On thc one side is Thad. Stevens
and his howling crew. On the other our own
Moses—the President. Sooner or later we
must take sides, aud who is so blind as to
doubt where he should stand? We care
not whether Andrew Johnson, William H,
Seward, of our bitterest enemy during the
war, is at the head of the newly proposed or
ganization ; we care not whether the party
be known as Union or Democratic—so that
its aim and end be to secure to a now obedient
and loyal South a just recognition under the
Constitution. Invited as a people to meet in
Convention in Philadelphia, let our delegates
