the American Union shall be reconstruc-

Maine to California and from Minnesota
to Florida shall be united again under
common Government, and enjoy to-
gether all the blessings of liberty.

TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.

the motives which caused them to take
up arms should be plainly and candid
ly sts;ed. They have been grossly
misrepresented to you by designing
and unscrupulous aspirants who seek
to become rulers on the ruins Of, q
great and happy country, and their
intentions have been studiously mis-
stated. We speak in their behalf,
therefore, from sense Of justice and
duty, and we ask you to hear us calm
ly and hereafter to judge US by our
acts.
The troops who fight under the star
spangled banner wage no war of ag-
erosion. They seek not to Cypress
the weak nor to infict injury upon
the innocent. They have no desire to
injure private property or interfere
with private business; and when this
is done unavoidably it will be regret
ted by none more than by themselves.
They have come among you to reestab-
fish peace and order, and to recon-
struct Government which for more
than three-quarters Of century prov
ed to be all that the people of the
South as we'll as of the North desired.
They ask only that the Constitution
framed by our fathers be continued un-
impaired-that ALI precepts be held
sacred and that the many blessings
handed down to us by our ancestors be
permitted to descend to our posterity.
They are not unmindful Of the fact
that Virginia and the North, and par
ticularly Pennsylvania, are linked to-
gether by many sacred ties, as we'll as
by the strongest bonds of interest.
They are not willing that these sa-
cred ties shall be ruthlessly sundercd
at the bidding of such men as have
precipitated the South into most un-
holy revolution. Can you censurc
them for entertaining such views ?
Can you who boast of the Old Domini-
on because she was the mother of
Statesmen, blame US of the North for
revering the lessons those Statesmen
have taught US? We think not; and
hence we expect to find friends in all

THE VOICE OF WASHINGTON.


toms Farewell Address, the following Ian
guage occurs. We ask the people of
Virginia and of the South to read and
ponder we'll upon it:
10 the efficacy and permanency of your
Union, Government for the whole is in
dispensible. No alliance, however strict
between the parts, can be an adequate
substitute; they must inevitably experience
the infractions and Interruptions whieh all
alliances, in all times, have experienced.
Sensible Of this momentous truth, you have
improved upon your first essay, by the
adoption of Constitution of Government
better calculated than your former for an
intimate Union, and for the eficacious
management Of your common concerns
This Government, the offspring of our own
choice, uniufuenced aud unawed, adopted
upon full investigation and mature DELHI
Grafton, completely free in its principles, in
the distribution of its powers uniting Sc
curity with energy, and containing within
itself provision for its own amendment,
has just claim to your confidence and
your SUPPORT Respect for its authority,
compliance with its laws, acquiescence in
its measures, are duties eujoined by the
Fundamental maxims Of true liberty. The
bases of our political system, is the right
of the people to make and to alter their
constitutions Of Government: but the
Constitution which at any time exists, till
changed by an explicit and authentic act
of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory
upon all. The very idea of the power and
the right Of the people to establish Govern
ment, pre.supposes the duty of every indi-
vidual to obey the established Government.
A Spy CApTrRED-While the Second
and Third Regiments were resting in the
road previous to going into camp on the I'd
instant, intelligence was brought that some
men had been seen in field near by
watching our troops. Their conduct was
so suspicious as to render it necessary that
they should be captured, if such thing
we're possible; and accordingly detach-s
ment Of the City Troop, under Corporal
Randall, with six men from Company !, I'd
Regiment, and Sergeant from Company
H, commanded by Capt. Sipes, was sent
in pursuit of them. Two of the men
after lard chase, were captured in =
house where they had concealed themselves,
and they were delivered up to Gen. Patter-
son. One of these men has since been re-
leased, but the other is believed to be
spy, he having been seer in several camps
Of eur troops, where he had evidently gone
for the purpase of cleaning information for
the use Of the rebels. He is still in Gus
tOdy, and the evidence againsth him is strong.

The Star spangled Banner.

0! say can you see by the dawn's early
light,
What SO proudly we hailed at the tNi-
lights last cleaning,
Whose broad Stripes and; blight Stars,
through the perilous fight,
Ger the ramparts we watched were so
CALAMITY streaming;
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that OUR
FLAG was still there,
0! say does that Star Spangled Banner
yet wave?
Der the land of the free and the home
of the brave.
On the shore dimly seen through the mi'ts
Of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread 81
lence reposes,
What is that which the breeze Ger the tow
isriug steep,
As it ftfully blows, half conCealS, half dis
closes,
Now it catches the CLEAN, Of the mornings
first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the
stream,
IT'S the Star spangled Banner, o long may
it wave
Ger the land of the free and tho home Of
the brave,
And where is that band who so vauntingy
That the havoc Of ar,and the battles con-
fusion,
A home and country should leave us no
Their blood has washed out their foul foot
steps pollution,
No refuge could save,the hireling and slave
From the terror of fight, or the gloom Of
the grave,
And the Star spangled Banner, in triumph
shall wave,
Ger the land of the free, and the home Of
the brave.

Between their loved homes, and the wars

Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heay-

Praise the power that hath made and pre-.
