Few Test Votes.


For the benefit Of those persons who
- claim that we Judge the Democratic party
n - harshly when we accuse it Of anything but
the purest patriotism, we win call their at
tention to several votes which have recent
" been taken in the U S. House of Repre-
sentatives, in which the position Of the De-
a mooracy is shown beyond eli equivocation.
On the 4th Of June, Mr.. Wilson of Iowa
introduced bill providing that no traitor
-A. or disloyal person shall ever hold Office un-
Af der the Government Il provides that any
person elected to any office ofhOnor or profit
si under The Government Of the United States
shall, before entering upon the duties Of
r the ofioe, take oath that he has never vol
81 unfairly borne arms against the Govern
ment since he has been citizen, that he
ssi has given no aid or encouragement to per-
a-, sons engaged in hostility to the Govern
mept, that he has given no allegiance to
=, any pretended government hostile to the
United States Government that he will
bear due allegiance to the Constitution and
,i the Government and that in taking this
oath he makes no mental reservation what
ever Surely there is nothing in this bill
- tOwhich the strongest stiokler for "ConHti-
tutional right might object II lis a sim
pie guarantee against future spies and
treachery in official positions, and a penalty
- upon those who now are in rebellion. The
go hill passed the House by rs to 49, All the
Republicans in the House voted Yea. Mr..
Maynard of Tennessee, who has had per-
sOnaI experience Of the rebellion, voted
with the Republicans. Al The Democrats
and Border State moi voted Nay So that
Ell. modern Democracy voted in favor of giving
Office to traitors, as under Buchanan's
rule,
81 On the eth instant Mr., Nixon of New
Jersey introduced a resolution stating that
the Commander-in-Chief should instruct
the Commanders in Departments in the
field to subsist their armies, so far as pos
g.. sihle, upon the property of those in rebel
lion. Nothing more just than that rebel
property should be taken to support the ar
mics raised to put down the rebellion could
be imagined, and yet while all the Repub-
and Border State men voted Nay, the resO-
Il. luton passing by 50 to 49, Here is another
o. Democratic position to remember.
On the same day, Mr.. Colfax of Indiana
introduced resolution instructing fhe
Committee upon the Judiciary to report a
bill modifying the infamous Fugitive Slave
Law so as to give the slayea jury trial. The
resolution was adopted by Il to 4S, all the
Republicans voting Yea, and all the Demo
Gratis and Border State men, except Mr..
Haight, voting Nay. So that Democracy
denies to man jury trial to decide
whether he shall be free man or life
long slave.
This is a partial record Of Democracy at
this time. And it is this class of patriots
with whom the Republicans are asked to
compromise" and form Union platform.
Comment is unnecessary.

The Plain Dealer is not very successful
or lucid in its arguments. It says that for
about year the LEADER has exhibited
commendablo spirit toward concentrating
the energies Of the Government in putting
down this rebellion. Then it says that
year ago last Spring the LEADER refused
to join in the Union movement in muni-
oipal affairs, and then that g for abou ui a
week, during the last of March and first Of
April, it did advocate harmony. Perhaps
the Plain Dealer thinks these statements
harmonic. II so, its ignorance is bliss" +"
and is folly to be wise.
Again it says that the LEADER "will
certainly cripple the Administration and
bewilder the Executive" and in the same
breath says that the influence of the LEAD
IN upon the Executive awiH be SO infn-
hessmal that calculation win be of no
avail" There is more harmony for you.
Butwe fancy that the "honest old Illinois
ian" isn't so easily "bewildered7 as the
Plain Dealer thinks.
AS a word Of friendly advice, we sug-
gest that the editor Of the Plain Dealer
write articles of only one sentence in
length hereafter If he attempts second,
he is sure to contradict the first
The Leader knows perfectly well that
no one connected with the Herald asked
any Office from the Administration. No
one connected with the Herald either di-
rectly or indirectly was applicant for the
Post 0fice.-Herdld.
We ask the hundreds Of citizens Of this
city who were called upon to sign petitions
in favor Of Geo. A. Benedict for Post Mas
ter, whether they can have any confidence
in his yeracity after making the bald state
ment that he was not a candidate for that
office. He evidently believes that false
hood well stuck to is as good as the truth
All we have 70 say is, that Mr.. Benedict
may deny ever having been candidate as
much as he pleases, but nobody viii be,
lieve him, for it is matter of nOtOriety
that he was an applicant for Office.
We repeat, that we do not think it very
consistent for the Herald to attempt tC
cast slur upon Office holders merely because
they are Office holders, when its own edit
ors were applicants for office.

"GoD BLESS YOU. /"

How sweet ly sound those holy WoIua' ,o
Those happy words "God bless you
With joyous thrill they ever MI
The hours that distress you
You sadly press the hands OF those
Who lovingly caress you
And soul responsive beats to soul,
In breathing out ''God bless you !"
Your mother, in the days that were,
Would earnestly address you,
With many an admonition kind,
And breathe aloud, ''God bless you -
"Go forth into the world, my boy,
And should its cares distress you,
Remember that thy mothers prayer
IL ever this-'God bless you !"
And when the sands of life are run,
And Death S cold hand doth press you,
Remember, through his risen Son,
God eYermore will bless you

AN INTEREST," RELIc.--Dr. Perkins exhib-
ted at the missionary meeting at London, some
time ago, a copy of the New Testament, which
he found in Persia that was 700 years old.
1t was written in the ancient Syrian language,
(the same spoken by Jesus Christ when on
earth,) upon parchment, with a reed for pen.
Of course the volume was bulky, though net
as large as we should suppose Testament
made in that way would be. 1t was not thicker
than Webster's Unabridged, and not more
than two-thirds as large. DR.. Perkins found
three or four copies of the Testament in this
form in that country, which were. if we under
stood him, the only written language that the
people had. BY the aid OF these he made
language for the HISTORIANS and instructed
them in it for nearly thirty years. DR.. Per-
kins said, also, that this New Testament, which
had been transcribed in this rude manner
eral times, and handed down from the time of
Christ, was, in every important respect, the
same as the Word which we now have-a re-
markable proof of the authenticity of our BIZ
BILE.

SINGULAR.-It is related that Col. Russell
of the 18th Connecticut, fell dead from his
horse at the head OF his regiment, while
marching against the enemy on Roanoke Is
land Strange as it may appear not scratch
was found upon his body when examined, and
his death must have been from the wind OF a
cannon ball or from excitement.
