RETALIATION AND NONSENSE IN
GEORGIA.

Gov Brown of Georgia, in his recent mes
sage to the legislature of that state, recommen-
ded measures of retaliation and reprisal upon
those states that obstruct the return of fugitive
slaves. a bill has been introduced in the legis-
lature in accordance with this recommendation.
the principal provisions of which are as follows
tax of 20 per cent on all the products, manu-
features or imports of offending states sold in
Georgia; whenever the return of slave be-
longing to citizen of Georgia is prevented in
any state the governor of Georgia shall call
out such military force as he may deem proper
and seize sufficient amount of the property of
the offending state, or any of its citizens, as
shall cover the loss and damage to the owner
of the slave the property thus seized to be
confscated and sold ii not redeemed by the
government of the offending state after thirty
days notice; after the first day of January 1862,
no citizen of state that resists the return of
Georgia slaves by law or violence will be en-
titled to sue in any court of that stale, or have
the protection of any law of that state, civil or
criminal; all the provisions of the law apply as

THE PEOPLES PATRIOTISM

Patriotism is eminently popular virtue
eminently so. The rich and the great ma,
b" patriots, or they may not, but the people arc
so Of course. There are abundant instance,
of great men betraying their country and de.
grading themselves, and of rich men selling
their country, but the number of poor traitor.
of note could be counted on the finger of one
hand and the poor are as to the rich and the
great as the sands on the seashore are to the
good aud the pious. When Napoleon |. was
ON the eve of falling, the Allies having Pari,
all but in their hands, and soon so to have it,
and Paris was France,-the noble and the
wealthy classes were aiding the enemy from,
within, while tbs middle classes s,mpathized
with them but the great mass of the peoplc
the men whom the Emperor looked upon with
aversion, regarding them as the tools, of as.
pirlng Jacobln politicians, demanded arms, and
to be led against the invaders Their resistance
would have been but rude, but it would have
sutlced to keep the foe at bay for day or two
and that was all that was necessary to have
saved Paris. and to have delivered the Allies
into his hands. The rich would not listen to
the voice of the people, but caused the city to
be surrendered to the asSailants and SO saved
those assaiants from defeat and degraded their
own country. An hundred other instances OF
the difference between the rich and the poor, in
the matter of patriotism, might be- cited. but
we content ourselves with citing that which
happened in Paris in 1914 because everybody
knows the history of Napoleon, and the incl
dents of his fall are imprinted ON every mans
memory.
1t is because some of our American polit-
clans do not pay any attention to this all-impor-
tant fact that they sometimes are so foolish as
to threaten to destroy this country, by disso,ng
the Union, as if the existence of the nation lay
in the breath Of their nostrils, They forget.
or prehaps they never knew the fact, that the
people are patriotic, not only from honest prin-
ciples, but instinciycly. Call man Demo
crut, a Constitutional Unionist, Republican. or
by any other party name that you please, but
beyond all and everything he is an american, Il
lover of his country, which he could no more
think of hanming than he could think of harm
ing his children. II this fact were kept steadily
in view by those men who deal in politics, their
dealings would be OF more satisfactory char
acter TO the world, and also in the end to them
selves. The masses would crush any man to
powder who SHOULD attempt to destroy their
country, because they love that country un-
selfishly, and are determined that it shall know
nothing but good at the hands of all its citi-
zens.-Olire Branch.

and Arkansas are now in session, or to meet in
few days, SO the question of secession as far
as those states are concerned will be brought
to focus. Well, il they conclude to walk out
of the Union, we suppose they will leave the
land behind them. But 1t is evident that the
secession movement is too deliberate not to be
serious. These Conventions submit the matter
to the action of the people through their dele
gates, and the whole thing rests on the action
of these Conventions. South Carolina of cour sc
will go secession to the back bone but we can
not believe that any other state will be so mad
as to follow in her wake. If the slave states
are really desrious of separation from the free
states, they should seek it by way of amend
ment to the Constitution. To attempt a sepa-
ration without such action is downright mad
ness. Congress cannot grant tit would be
perfectly suicidal. If one State walks out with
out saying "by your leave" they all can.

A MATTER OF HoNoR.-Ihe conduct of the
Federal officials in South Carolina and Georgia
presents a singular question for casuists. 1t
seems that public opinion in those chivalrous
States can no longer tolerate the thought of
subsection to the Federal Government; and by
way Of asserting their independence. all the
officials whose business il is to collect the reve-
nue., or to enforce the payment of debts due to
Northern merchants, have been compelled to
resign. But the Postmastcrs, it seems although
swearing allegiance, like the others to the Fed
eral Government, are advised to hold on to their
offices. The reason for this federation of Fed
eral Postmasters may be explained by the fact
that the tranmission of the mails through these
States costs the Federal Government about
three times rs much as it derives from postage.
II is thus apparent, at last, that the intangi-
bic something, called honor, for which heroes
have died, and about which poets and philoso-
pliers have written, has been reduced in the Sc
ceding States to question of dollars and cents.
The public spirit revolts at the idea of wearing
the Federal yoke, in so far as it compels the
payment of taxes and debts but as a matter of
temporary convenience, by which the fre-eaters
may get their letters franked to them, at the ex-
pense of the United States treasury, the badge
Of servitude becomes light and easy.
The expense to the Government of transport
ing the mails through South Carolina and Geor-
ga is about three times the amount of the
receipts and if their postmastcrs were all to re-
sign, the two States could not supply themselves
with equal postal facilities for less than three
quarters OF million dollars. A tax to this
extent in addition to the other burdens which
the secession experiment will impose upon the
people, might open the eyes of great many TO
the folly and madness of the politicians. But
the latter are too shrewd to apply the test to
the pocket-nerve, until they shall have precipi-
tated revolution. 1t is to be dcplored that
there is not as much of sensitive honor among
the preachers of treason as they lay claim. If
they were really actuated by that sentiment, they
would compel every Postmaster to throw up his
place, at whatever cost to the public. But their
inconsistency on this point shows mercenary
spirit, which we could never have looked for in
men so full of honor.-N. J. Times

seems to be settling down under the idea that
the southern states, South Carolina included,
