We pity such men, who, In their attempt to direct
public opinion, will not cOnane themselves to facts as
they exist.
For the benefit Of these who have no, read Senator

distinctly proclams from his seat in the Senate 'a'
he is no DisuRionia. He says. In the body OF MS
speech these words which the Opposition press have
seen 1T to overlook;
We have come back TO the conclusion at the South,
that we are living under the best form OF government
instituted by man. The States having the right TO
crisate on all subjects Of domestic interest aud the
Federal Government the organ through which 'hef
arrange their foreign relations, is the best govern
mcnt that ever existed. When came here and saw
this Capitol went TO the navy yard nhd 10 the diner

the agency through which she and the other depart

and as said TO my friend from Missouri, the other

II is the great lumnary of heaven, the bright eye oil
the universe that we have admiration Tor Ihus,
when | ook at the power of this Government, feel
no jealousy but am proud Of IL have no terror OF
it, for this Government Is lens, through which the
powers of the States are concentrated am no DIS
uuioust. | wish TO God these thirty-three states
might exist for all time And If we could only teach
these Republicans anything-if they could read ana
and comprehend anythng-or II we
could make them understand anything, there would
be no difficulty. The OK knoweth his owner the ass
his masters crib but the people will not understand
New England will not consider. U.aughterO New
England has always lived upon charity and always
will.
Why exclude these remarks from the public prints
if there no disposition to misead and keep the peo-
pie in the dark about what their representatives are
doing in Congress! Oh, no. Some of the wiseacres
of the press have heard their uncle, cousn aunt, or
neighbour say that wigall is Disunionist and then,
without the trouble of investigation, they yelp again;
and if they can quote from so respectable q journal
as the Civilian they pitch out key higher just as
the smaller breeds of the canine genus become vocif-
erous when the sturdy fnasti utters his base note
We do not accuse the Civilian Of Intentionally en-
the smaller fry to deeds of violence, and
acts of vndictive cruelty but only that he has given
them good excuse. We have the utmost respect for
Mr. Stewart and know him to be gentleman of abil-
ity and we make these remarks that he may, if he
thinks proper correct slight error, which has re-
suited in having good man branded as Disunion-
ist As to those sheets that have denoucced him,
we have but one word to say, and that is that
he distinguished Senator would feel amazingly NOR
iiiel could he know they are talking about him so
avagcly.
