EXTRACT from the second speech of Andrew
johnson, in the Senate:
"Treason ought to be punished North or
South, and if there are traitors they should be
entitled to traitors reward. Applase. He
said that South Carolina early had prejudice
against government by the people, and that
secession was no new thing in that State. He
referred TO the early history of South Carolina,
who claimed at one time that they were ready
to go back under the dominion Of King George.
He read an address of the people Of Charleston
to King George in 1880, saying that they nev-
er intended to dissolve that union, lamenting
the struggle of Independence, protesting love
and zeal for that Government in 1888 by South
Carolina. Then they were restrained and their
pride humbed and men who speak in this
Convention now say that they have had an in
tention to dissolve the Union for forty years.
The question now is, are the other States going
to allow themselves to be precipitated into
ruin by South Carolina? All South Carolina
wants of the more Northern States is men and
money. What does South Carolina propose
to give to Kentucky and Tennessee? All
South Carolina wants Of Kentucky and Ten
nessee, and the other States Of the Northern
portion of the South, is to furnish men and
money. When we find her prosecuting con-
test for Mexico or elsewhere, Tennesseeans and
Kentuckians win be very desirable to help in
the battles. What protection can South Car
oliaa give Tennessee and Kentucky, if her
negro property needs protection We have
got the men, and will have to pay for it, and
not South Carolina, which has been an apple
of discord in this confederacy from my earliest
recollection to this time, complaining of every
thing and satisfied with nothing. l think
sometimes it would almost be Godsend if
Massachusetts and South Carolina could be
joined together, like the Siamese twins, and sep
arated from the Government, and taken of
into somo remote, some secluded part of the
ocean, and fastened there, to be washed by
the waves and cooled by the winds and after
they had been there sufficient length of time
the remainder of the people of the United
States might entertain a proposition for taking
them back. Laughter For they seem to
have been source of dissatisfaction pretty
much ever since the confederacy was formed,
aud some operation or experiment of this kind,
think would have beneficial effect on them.
But we must try to do the best we can with
them.

DoN'T LIKE TIE NAME OF FLoYD.-Camp
Floyd Utah Territory, was so named in honor
of the late Secretary of War. The military at
the camp, to show their detestation of the con-
duct Of the ex-oliicial, have changed the name,
as will be seen by the following order of Col.
Cooke. 1t is dated Camp Floyd, U. r.

The name of the military post is hereby
changed to Fort Crittenden This order is
subject to confirmation by the War Depart

At the same time, it was his opinion that force
was not practicable, and he was opposed to the
attempted use of it, because he believed it
would defeat lis own object. California, occu-
pying peculiar position before the Coniedcr-
acy, should be looker-on. Therefore he
should vote for the minority resolutions, al

Mr.. FARGO asked what was the gentleman's
authority for his remark to the effect that Mr..
Lincoln advocated the placing of the colored
race on equality with the white race.
Mr. HARRIS read extracts from several Of
Mr. Lncoln's speeches in proof Of his position.
Mr. FARGO asked il the gentleman understood
from those extracts that Mr.. Lincoln contended
for the social and political equality of all men,
or only for their equality in respect to freedom
lie (Mr. Fargo did not believe that any Re-
publican wished to place the negro race on an
equality politically or socially with the white
race.
Mr. HARRIS said he bad no doubt that the
gentleman from Alameda was sound on the
subject but Mr.. Lincoln differed from him,

AN INCIDENT OF THE LAST WAR.-At the
entertainment given at Philadelphia to the
Western Boards of Trade. Commodore Stuart,
(Old Ironsdes) was induced 10 narrate the
following reminiscence
Said the Commodore
Since you have forced me to rerquisb my
natural modcsty, will do this much, | will
narrate the anecdote correctly as just told you
by my friends. The two ships were The Cyane
and Levant, sent to take the Constitution
They were both commanded by Captains who
had won distinction at Trafalgar and the \ lie,
! Captains Falcon and Douglas. After the
Constitution had taken both ships, aud their
| Captains were on board the Constitution, a
GOODNESS existed between them, in consequence
of the capture Each accused the other of
bearing out of the action and leaving the brunt
to his associate. This question they agreed
to leave to me, and ! settled it in a moment.
1t was you, Captain Douglas said I, to the
senior officer, " who first broke out of action"
They were satisfied, and shook hands together
While they were further discussing the matter,
and deplorrg their defeat, said !, i" gentlemen,
did you expect to take the Constitution with
those two ships? Why, you went on board
of them this morning, and said they were in as
good order as before the action Now, if
you Ike, | will send yon back to them, give
you your men and officers, and take you both
oUer dgam. Take the Constitution with two
ships? Why you couldn't do it with dozen.
This is the Constitution of the United States
Y You may sink it, and sink US with it, but you
couldn't take it with all your Kings feet
So afraid were the British Admiralty of the
Constitution, that they dare not trust single
frigate alone, but compelled the Levant TO
wait until the Cyane was ready to sail in
company.

AFTER NOTORIETY.

Our distinguished fellow citizen, Col.
Test, is determined that the people shall
know that he belongs to "a party opposed to
those who arow themselves i. Javor Of the
preservation Of this Union. This is the pc.
sition We stated that his fourth Of July
resolution placed him in. Not content with
this statement, he publishes this week q
communication, announcing that we were
right in our supposition, that he intended
BY his resolution to recognize party other
than the one in .tauor Of the Union. That's
just what We said-but We infer from the
Coils article, that he penped it for the os.
tensible reason of objecting to our way Of
stating his position, but really for the pur-
pose of more general circulation Of his
views. We admire the Co.'s frankness, and
that's all. His principles-if he has any
he don't admire himself. Heis mad because
no was defeated last fall-in fact, the Col.
is not to blame, very much, for assuming
the position he does, at this time. His de.
sire for the downfall of the Republic is
owing entirely to his not having democratic
blood enough in him to yield ready obedi.
ence to the will Of the majority, or sense
enough to be magnanimous. His misfortune
not his viciousness-ssttat's what's the
matter" .t

ouR MAYOR LEARNING THE FAclN0s
On the 18th Of June, the Chairman OF the
Committee on Invitations. extended to the
Mayor Of this city, and through him to the
City Council, an invitation to attend the Un-
ion 9Th Of July Celebration, in an oiicial
capacity.
Under date Of the 9th ult., [but actually
On zoe ID day Of July, the said Mayor, a.
ter q long TRADE OF abuse and misrepresen'

celebration 10 oil his immensely thus, &C.

For the SonpareIls

MR. MAYNARD-l do not often read the
Secession organ Of this city, of late, but
hearing good deal said about our Secession
Mayor having been grossly insulted by an
invitation to attend Union celebration of
our National birth day, had the curiosity
to obtain, and read, the copy of the Bug'e
containing his long resentment of
the insult offered him by the chairman of the
acsly understand how the invitation given
by the committee, through their chairman,
could be construed by the Mayor into per.
sonal insult; or why 50 brief and respectfu III
m invitation should be resented by q per.
sonal attack on the individual who signed
the invitation as chairman nor could see
the propriety of making that note Of invita-
ton the occasion of defining his position,
and giving quotations from Jefferson aud
Jackson. His principles are already pretty
well known to the public, and there was no
need that he should forget the dignity of
bis Office to so particularly define them on
this occasion. A gentleman would have
couched bis refusal in few and respectful
words. The reply Of our Mayor is charac-
seristic Of the man.
But it vas evident enough that though l
could not see the insult contained in that
brief note, the Bugle-man could, and that
he felt called upon to resent, not only pri.
vasely but publicly, so "direes and premed-
tied Ga Insult /" to his Honor, given after be
had proclaimed against Union celebration,

contributed, perhaps, more than any other

him with authority to 20 in quest Of arms
