The WAR nrtne OlignrCr,s.


this war is, whether the government OF the
people can be maintained against the military
dcspotism watch has been iuaugmatcd in
the Southern States. Bold, unscrupulous
and determined, the Cotton Kings have re-
solved to brcal; up this government to get
rid of the tariff and to establish grand
slave oliSarchy which they hope will give
them an empire, founded upon landed
aristocracy supported 10y negro scryitudc.
Under the Constitution OF the United States
these Cotton Kings were secured in the legal
possession of an enormous monobly OF ne
gro scryitudc. One man in South Carolina is
said to hold four thousand slaves in his own
right. The baronial privileges of these
knights of the South are far greater than
those of any RUSS AN prince, or nobleman, for
they hold the bodies and lives of these negro
scrIs under their absolute control. These
mighty barons have governed the republic
and have given laws to the nation for seventy
years. They have educated their sons AZ
public expense; they have filed most of the
Offices of profit; they have controlled the
min avenue TO honor in the nation, and the
North has mce}ly bowed its head to this
domiuOtion. No people of the earth have
enjoyed the same exclusive, exalted and
monopoljzing privilege that our Southern
brethren have for two generations. For the
first time in thirty six years the Southerl
oligarchy were defeated in Presidential
election, upon an issue made 10y themselves
in the repeal ofthe old Missouri compromise
The question was whether free labor had ;
right to occupy free territory north of the
line of the old compromise. Abraham Lin
coin we elected in 1860 to the same ollic,
that John Quincy Adams had been elected
to gill in 1924. All the Presidents preceding
Adams, but one, where Southern mcr
Virginia had furnished the navy with more
post-captains than common sailors. IN iiuo
the army, navy and civil list of the republi,
have been for more than two generations "a
the disposal and under the great slave oil
garchs. Bred in the lap Of luxury, f,ttcnine
upon the great salaries of Office and the Ia
Dor Of four millions of slaves, these barons 0
the sable cross could not brook that the free
white labor party should be represented il
thcrcpublic even four years in halfa century
Rather than suffer the indisnity that frc,
white labor should have voice in the ad
ministration of public affairs, the slave oil
garchs dccrccd the destruction of the re
public--thcir motto now is, as here toforc
I'VE rule or ruin" Let no man be deceived
by the syrcn songs of the cotton kings
This is war Of the slave oligarchs agains
constitutional representative government
having for its object the overthrow of the
best republic on Garth. The people mus
awake to this fact and buckle on their armor
for if the cotton kings triumph in this wa
against free labor and free government on
liberties are gone forever; and the nigh
of despotism will close upon us and on
country forever. May God forbid it

Capt. w. w. II. Davis, of Bucks county,
Pennsylvania, who commanded a com
pany OF three months men under Gen. Pat
'terson, made speech last week, at Onion
meeting in that county in which he gave
an account of his campaign on the upper
Potomac under Gen. Patterson, proving
conclusively that he was fully able to have
detained Johnston and his rebels at Win
chester, as he had been ordered to do, and
having failed TO do this, through COW
ardice or incompetency, the great battle of
Manassas was lost. Capt Davis stated that
Gen. Patterson declared, in the presence of
his men, that he was afraid to approach
Johnstons camp at Winchester though he
had over 1900 efficient men at his COM
mand. He considered Patterson entirely re-
sponsible for the defeat of the Federal army.
The truth is thus getting out little by little.
1t comes out slowly, but none the less GER
tain and positive.

Scene NJ Tie IDcnof.

An amusing scenc occurred yesterday at
the depot, on the arrival of the special train
OF cars at o'clock, from Cincinnati, con-
tanning ljG soldiers of the regular army
from Newport Barracks, on their way to
Washington city. 1t appears that a Corpor-
al in the company met woman in Cmciu-
matt before cmharking, whom he called his
wife, and so informed the captain. The
captain was unwilling TO take her along,
but in the meantime her fare was paid to
this city, and Of course she was entitled to
come this far. The corporal told some of
his comrades that on reaching Columbus, if
the captain refused to take his wife he wo'd
desert. This was communicated to the cap
tain, who tclcgraphed to Mr.. De Wit the
police officer of the depot to have pair Of
handouts in readiness on the arrival of the
cars, which was done, and the corporal was
secured, and his wife elected from the cars.
The fellow plead hard, and the woman re-
NAMED at the window. His irons were TAX
en- off in order that he might bid farewell to
his wife. lie offered her all the money he
had, but she refused, declaring her inten-
ton of going along with him. She remain
ed at the window until the cars started,
when she made desperate leap, seized the
window, and her husband seizing her by the
arms, succeeded in pulling her through the
window head foremost, when the cars were
in motion, amid the cheers of the multitude
who had assembled. The captain was at
that time in another car, and did not wit

to be suffered to gO.-Stdte JomWM

HEENAN AND THE CHAMPION BELT-HIs
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED by MAcE.-Jim Mace,
who recently whipped the Staleybridge In
FAINT. has replied to lIceran's challenge and
signifies his readiness to fight. He is ready
to make match goo to $500 per side,
either before or after his coming fight with
King. The matter rs far as the american
Champion" is concerned, is in the hands of
his friend, George Wilkes, and it is said by
him that "hc expects soon to be able to
announce Ilccnan's assent to the proposition
of Mace, and the arrangement of the prelim-
narics.' Iecnan challenged any man in
England for e2,O00,(or Sl00O0) but Mace
does not seem willing to accept so large a
stake, and accuses IIeenan of bouncing:
IIeenan wants his expenses paid, if he fights
in England or will pay Maces if he comes
to America. Mace says: at is rule of
the English Prize Ring that the Champion
Belt cannot be fought for out of the United
Kingdom" The match is in fair way of
being made up, and it is believed by spor-
ting gentlemen that, before the winter is
over IIcenan ana Mace will have fought
for and decided the ownership of the Belt"
