The great Simon appears
to be rather leaky vessel. Although he
is in Abraham's JuSS9m, he however, lets
the cat out of the bag. and gives the peor

ministration, in this crusade against tho
South.
"Observe" Simon says, "that when q
Scotchman, or an Irishman, or German
comes to the United States, he mergcs
his own nationality into the country that
adopts him as son. And SO, when this
revolt is suppressed, and this war is ended,
our beneiicent government will no longer
be rerplexed by doubtful questions there
will be no more talk Of Nirginians, Mary
landers, Pennsyvanians, or Mississippis
ans. No, gentlemen, thank God wa shall
then be all Americans"
Here, Messrs Editors, is beautiful
specimen of logic and pa:riotism-as clear
as mud, too-ior Simon generally makes
things clear. State lines, and State gov
ernmcnts to be abolished, and the whole
to be merged into one central govern

am to lie Emperor, and Simon, chief bot
tie holder! The above quotation from

means nothing-and if we give his words
their plain english signification which OF
the two Simon, or Jeff. Davis-is the
greater traitor! The one an open foe;
the other sapping the very vitals Of the
nation, by lavish expenditure, that his
| friends may be enriched, and by the de-
struction Of that basis Of the government,
in destroying State governments. No
wonder, gentlemen, "Old Abe" in his
pilgrimage to Washington, gave utterance
to the original idea, that States were moth.
ing more than counties, and to be obliter,

IL was merely thrown out as feeler, to
see how people would take it, before he
attempted his stroke of State, for the de-
struction of the most glorious Republic
ever established under the canopy of
Heaven; or make the niger the equal Of
the white man, and yet, forsooth, any
man possessing moral courage enough to
oppose these schemes of demagogues, is
to be branded rs a "traitor."
But let the above pass for the present.

On the natal day of the nation, the teach
