Capitol, when not necessary for their pro-
lection from hostile enemy, and during
the sessions Of Congress, is imrolitic and
offensive, and if permitted, may become
destructive of civil liberty, and in the
opinion of this House the regular troops
now in it ought to be forthwith removed
| therefrom."
This resolution was rejected, by ayes
35, nays I25.
So it is fair to presume that the Repub.
icans are determined to keep up stand,
ing army at the seat Of Government, and
to enforce the Chicago platform and the
doctrine of the 4" extinction of slavery" by
means Of the sword.- PennSylvanian.
| THE HISTORY OF wIrE-AwAKE.
A few weeks ago, we published an an
ecdote of n young man in New Haven
who was thrown out of employment in
consequence of the hard times and who
manifested great anxiety to get into some
sort of business. He asked employment
of gentleman of that city, who inquired
1.-THE had no! been Wide Awake. The
answer was, yes. The next question was,
if he still had his Uniform? This was ala
SO answered affirmatively. The gentles
man then offered him dollar a day so
long as he would wear the uniform. He
accepted the offer and has made il his
business ever since TO appear in his Wide
, Awake habiliments. The Wide Awake
fraternity demonstrated with him aboutit,
and he thus justified himself:
S 81 carried this thing around, day after
day, during the campaign, and made no.
thing, but lost considerable by it. If it
: was honorable then, it is equally so now;
y and it is giving mo the means by which
r can pay my board and washing. You
q attend to your business, and l will to
mine but if you don't like my style, fur
y nish me better employment, and l will
! lay down my torch and throw away my
!. rig"
Q We doubt not there are hundreds OF
vt young mechanics in this town who during
), the heat of the late campaign, wasted
h time and money with the Wide Awakes,
ii who would now jump at the opportunity
'f of earning dollar a day by parading
e through the principal streets in their
e uniforms. .-Nete Haven Mars.

Then the surrounding States withdrew
