ng- The following with reference to

k1 ue loiloWIDS Win reference u
the much noted question as to whether or not
Foreign countries would interfere in the war
of this country we take from the Philadelphia
Press: "An apprehensions Of "the so-called
Southern Confederation" being recognized by
France or England are dissipated by the re-
ceht intelligence received by the Persia
France will not, and England dare not, ac-
knowledge the sovereignty of The sohth-be-
cause that would be Virtual declaration of
war against this countrS. AT the same time,
both Powers are naturally anxious to see the
contest ended, consummation which will
soon take place. France and England ma
terially suffer from the want of cotton and
tobacco. The duty upon American cotton
imported into France brings an annual sum
Of over S3, 500, coo into the Imperial Treasu-
ry, and imported tobacco is equally produc-
tive in a fiscal sense. Cotton is duty-free in
England, but there is a duty of e6 cents a
pound upon American tobacco. Therefore,
upon 6,0o0,0 900 pounds, which is the annual
home consumption of tobacco in England, the
duty exacted by the British Government is
S23, ,940,o 900 each year. Thus, the Govern
ment Of France and England are deeply in
terested in getting supply of cotton and to-
bacco, Nevertheless, they viii rot make mat
ters worse by fraternizing the South.

IgA friend in the country sends US


the following communication in relation to
petitioning Congress on the subject of General
Emancipation. If some friend will draw up q
suitable petition we will print it for circula-
ton.
CHRISTIAN FRIEND Since the formation Of
our government there has never been time
that we could petition Congress on the sub
ject of Slavery, with some hope of success, as
the present. And never since the birthday
of this nation has there been such a crisis.
Our next Congress, can, if they will, remove
the great moral evil and wipe away the foul
stain of slavery. which has brought down the
deserved wrath of God upon US. While our
sons are wasting their energies. and shedding
their blood to Queli this slavery rebellion,
let every christian and philanthropist at home
cooperate; and throw their influence on the
side of human liberty; 1t seems to me that
nothing short Of an entire universal emanci-
patton will ever again festore peace and in
tegrity to this nation. An efeetual door is
Congress to the proud and rebelions South,
';Let my people go.' Shall we not make the
demand Cod is the God of the poor and
oppressed, and may we not doubt whether he
ever gives victory to our arms or crowns our
efforts with success; in restoring peace and
tranquility until we aim at the total abolition
g
Congress under the war power, to give to the
leaders OF Our armies liberty to proclaim free
dom to the slave, as they march through the
rebelious States. Then shall the house of
saul grow weaker and weaker, and the house
of David grow stronger and stronger" B.

The Horror of the Reign of Treason.
TSpeech of Andrew johnson


Willie yet beseeching them to act upon their

the tramp OF their troops was about our homes
And yet there are those who set up the pulling
cry, "Let there be no coercion What a Sc

God bless you, friends, they never got any
thing except by coercion. They coerccd
Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Virginia
out of the Union. They attempted it in
Mary land-the government stopped it; they
are now attempting it in Kentucky and there
the people will stop it! Their whole career
has been one of coercion of outrage, insult,
bssphemy, and crime. Detachments of their
myrmidons, who were sent as they said "to
protect us from the DIES, otism OF Abe Lin
coln," (?) would pass through our country, in
Tennessee, on the railroad.
AS they went they saw the flag of our
country, the glorious old stripes and stars,
floating from the gable of an humble school
house, where the little boys had placed it as
an emblem of their pure and dawning love for
the Union. What did these miscrcants do
They stopped their train and with hootings
and ribaldry with menaces and eXecrations
and basphemy, they tore i from the children,
and trampled it in the mire They would
enter private houses, and under preense of
seeking for ammunition, would rummage
drawers and desks robbing the family of
money, and the females Of their jewels and
heir looms. They would order their meals
and lodging in tones of insolence and in terms
of insult. They would feed their horses with
wastefuness, and scatter the food recklessly on
the ground. And after eating to the fill of
their insatiate appetites, and rioting and rum.
maging they would mount, and, with oaths
and obscenity, would tell the family to charge
it all TO JEFF. Davis. And, this, my friends,
is secession
They came into my own county they called
at my house. Some OF their number came
forward and demanded of my family whether
