National Responsibility.

1t is not improbable that, as this war
proceeds. the people will more and more
perceive that the nation has committed
great sin by aiding and abetting the le-
gion of rascalities constituting slavery, and
that now they are in pretty fair way to
receive the punishment inevitable to such
a crime, Notwithstanding the maxim,
Honor amongst thieves" men who will
band together to steal, will not scruple to
rob one another. Since the South has as
serted the jre diyino of shareholders, the
Federal Government being under the con-
troll Of shareholders has been characterized
by all sorts of peculation and NAL admins
tration. Going on from bad TO worse, the
same men whom the government and peo-
pie have couatenanced and abeted in rob-
ing ard enslaving their fellow men, both
white and black, have now turned tt cir
hands and their weapons against the gov
eminent and people, who have been acces-
series if not principals in their crimes
This was the most natural thing in the
world just as natural as that pirates, af-
ter robbing their victims, should fall upon
and rob one another After tolerating and
fostering vipers in our bosom, it is certain
ly part of our punishment that they now
turn and sting US, as the Southern rebels
are doing And they will continue to sting
us, until they are crushed. The sooner
ne crush them the better for the country
and the world

Southern PURPOSES

The character of war must always de-
pend much upon the objects respectively,
for which the two parties are fighting In
the circumstances Of doubt. owing to the
many false representations made through
the press, as to what are the designs of
the South, it is gratifying to ind a reha-
bic authority, testimony given BY a COM
petent witness. who may be fully relied
upon. In the letter of Mr. Russell, spec
ial correspondent of the London TINES, da-
ted Cairo, June 20, 1861, We fad some
very significant statements, showing south
ern designs. should the rebellion succeed
It is gratifying that the English people
have the opportunity to read these letters,
since It is obvious that the representations
they contain cannot fail to arouse uation-
81 sentiment and feeling strongly opposed
to the success Of TIE seceders, if the
great masses We're not already leaning that
way. We commend these statements Of
Mr.. Russell to the especial attention of
those gentleman in WATERFOWL who seem
to have strong leaning towards the reb-
ell cause. Most Of all, what will intelli-
gent foreigners saw of such purposes as are
here expressed by Southrons, and which
have long been known to prevail AMONGST
Shareholders? The following is the ex-
tract referred to:
Ny companion was very intelligent
Southern gentleman, formerly editor Of a
newspaper. We talked of the crime of the
country, of the brutal sbootings and stab
bings which disgraced it. 70 admitted
their existence with regret, but be could
advise and suggest no remedy. The row
dies have rushed in upon us, so that we
can't master them is the law power
less?' "Well, sir, you see these men got
hold of those who should administer the
law, or they are too powerful 10 be put
down. That is reign of terror-of
mob-rufhanism?' 1t don't hurt respecta-
bic people much but I agIee with ycu it
HuoI NC put uOWn. w nen,-hON !! ~ ell
sir, when things are settled. well lust TAX
the law into our hands. Not a man shall
have vote unless he's Americaa-born,
and, by degrees, we'll get rid Of these men
who disgrace Us. Are not many of YOUR
regiments composed of Germans and Irish
of foreigners, in fact?' Yes, Sir |
did not suggest to him tie thought which
rose in my mind, that these gentlemen, if
successful, would be very little inclined to
abandon their rights while they had arms
IN their hands; but it occurred to me as
well that this would be rather poor re-
ward for the men who were engaged in es,
tablshlng the Southern Confederacv.-
The attempt may fail, but assuredly | have
heard it expressed too often to doubt that
there is determination on the part of the
leaders IN the movement to take away the
suffrage from the men whom they do
not scruple to employ in fighting their
battles. If they cut the threats of the
enemy they will stife their own sweet vol
| ces at the same time, or soon afterwards
capital reeompense to their emigrant sol
dies.

Relief at Hand.

The people of this state have been op-
pressed for years past, by the usurpations
and injustic Of T. S. District court, a
tyrant on the bench by the name of Mil
Ter. Considering the contempt and indig-
nation which have been eften expressed,
tho submission Of the people rather than
resort to mob law has often been surpri-
sing, and is strong testimony to their
loyalty, It has been feared, that, ike
other tyrants, the old man would never be
gotten rid Of, but it now looks favorable
for the long prayed for relief The fol
lowing action was had in the House Of
Representatives, July 23d, 1861;
Dir. Porter (Rep. Ind reported bill
dividing Kentucky into two judicial dis
tricts and abOlishing the present District
Court; and as amended on the motion Of
Mr.. Blair of Missouri and creating one dis
trict court in their stead.
In the course of the debate, Mr. Critten-
den, Dem. Ky,) opposed the bill, say
ing that it was an abuse Of the power Of
Congress and an invasion of the constitu.
tional mode of removal of a judge to effect
such an object by the abolition Of the
Court, as now proposed.
The bill passed, by yeas, 70; Nays, 30.
The above shows how We can be roliev-
ed IN Wisconsin from judicial usurpation.
1t in accordance with the movements put
Onfoot for our relief. Hurry up the pc
sitions and let Us be ready for action at
the next session Of Congress.
