to peculiarly gospel church in that locality,
made up of the odds and ends, and disaffected
of other churches, whose members seem to re-
gard patriotism as an unholy thing, calculated
to defe the sanctuary of religion. That
church must be ripe for translation. One of
Uncle Sans drafts would be an excellent APP
pliance to bring it back to a more militant"
state, in which its relations and duties to the
material world would be more fully appreciat-
ed; and gentlemen of that town assure us
,hat if any of its members should be compelled
to go to the war, and if they should gloriously
fall while patriotically fighting the enemy, in
stead of returning to aid that enemy by dis
seminatng their quasi treason, many of their
neighbors and fellowtownsmen would from
the heart exclaim "God's will be done !"
ga story is told on this WISE that Rev.
Mr.. Hersey, of this city, now Chaplain of the
Maine 18th, recently preached asermon at Var
mouth-where he had been regularly supply
ing the Universalist pulpit-and as it was to
be his last visit to the place, he took occasion
to refer TO the state of the country, stated his
own position, and what he proposed to do-to
join the defenders of his country on the field
of striie--and he called upon the young men
of the congregation to signaze their patriot
ism by rallying around the standard of their
imperilled country. At the close of the serv-
ices, as the story goes, he was confronted and
assailed by that somewhat notorious gentle
man of Fort Lafayette experience = and
another citizen of the place, recently a Custom
House officer, by whom he was most grossly
insulted, charged with shamefully dcsecrating
the temple of religion, and otherwise abusive
ly treated. Such is the story in brief, as relat-
ed to us by gentlemen of veracity; but if the
slightestinjustice is done to any one by it pub
lication, our columns will remain open for cor
rection.

Demosthenes said that 'distrust Of the
fidelity and integrity of rulers was the
greatest safeguard OF liberty and he was
right. The encroacbment of despotism
on the fair domain ofliberty must be slow

Importance. Ia not the fact that govern.

lus.rate this point:
QUESTIONS FOR PATRIOTS.
Has not the present government depriv-
ed men Of their liberty without due pro.
cess Of law for distrusting its fidelity and
integrity?
Has Il not established a censorship Of
the press to prevent the expression of dis.
trust?
Has this not been done in the name Of
liberty anL patriotism?
Is government that attempts by force
to prevent censure Of it's public acts. hon
est? Is il Republican? Nay. is il not
despotic?
How do despots sustain themselves in
Europe but by rewarding those who praise
and defend them. and furnishing those
who censure?
Can the despotism which alone sustains
the monarchies Of Europe be practiced in
Republic and not destroy it?
Can n war for the supremacy Of - writ

constitutional party itself violate that con-
stitulion with impunity?

RESOLVED. That the great and chief OBJ.

suppress the rebellion, is to 70 establish
the Union, with all it's benefits. leaving all
side issues to be adjusted under the same
old Constitution of our forefathers. which
has always given security, peace. and
prosperity to every section Of the United
Ste tes, and contains within itself ample
security against all grievances that may
arise under its administration.

with the following resolution

who are conservative men, and lovers of
the Union and the Constitution, we re-
spectfully suggest to you that the time i.
at hand when by your acts, your adopted
platform. your associations. aud your
votes, you must cut loose from these aus.
picious associates. and send them adrift
We co not propose to you to become
Democrats. but the safety Of the nation
demands that you disavow these allies.
You may possibly form q new conserva.
tive party. which will be a. unaiacbingly
for the Constitution xs the Democratic
party. But it becomes you to eco to j.
that your names. your regulations. no
longer give ccuntenance or support to men
who refuse to sustain the Constitutional
President. simply because he refuses to
violate tho Constitution. This is the is
sue. plain and simple. Do you support
the Constitution ? Are you for the Uniou?
We do not care whether man is Demo
cras or hepuoiican. or oy what party name
he calls himself now. if he but stapds by

man, in New Hampshire. as in New York.
determine calmly as man where he can
best throw his vote for the Union, for the
Constitution. for his contry's salvation in
times Of passion and war. and let all the
great parties Of the nation. however op-
posed on questions Of minor importance.
stand firm for the Constitution. The
Democrats stand there. Why cannot con-

HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF No.
St. Louis, Feb. 22.
The Major General commanding the
Department desires to impress upon all
officers the Importance Of preserving good
order and discipline among their troops
as the armies Of the West advance into
Tennessee and the Southern States. Let
us show to our fellow citizens in these
States that we come merely to crush ont
rebellion and restore to them peace and
Union, of which they have been deprived
by their selfish and unprincipled lead
ers.
They have been told that we come to
oppress and plunder. By our acts we
will undeceive them; we will prove to
them that we have come to restore, not
to violate, the Constitution and laws.
In restoring to them the flag Of the.
Union, we will assure them that they shall
enjoy under it's folds the same protection
of life and property as in former days. :
Soldiers. let no excess on your part tar
nish the glory Of our arms. The orders
heretofore issued in this department in
regard to pilaging. marauding. TIE de-
struction of private property and stealing,
and the concealmont of slaves. must be
strictly enforced. 1t does not belong to
the military to decide upon the relation of
master and slave. Such questions must
be settled by the civil courts.
No fugitive slaves will therefore be
admitted within our lines or camps excep.
when especially ordered by the General
commanding. Women. children. mer-
chants, farmers. mechanics. and all per.
sons not in arms. are regarded as non-
comba,ants. and are not to be molested In
their psrsons or property.
II however. they aid and assist the enc.
my. they become belligerents. and will be
treated as such. If they violate the laws
Of war. they will be made to suffer the
penalties Of such violation. Military
stores and public property of the enemy
mus. be surrendered, and any attempt to
couceal such property by fraudulent trans
fer or otherwise will be punished but no
private property will be touched unless by
order Of the General commanding.
Wherever it becomes necessary to levy
for the supply aud subsistence Of our
troops, such levies will be made rs light
as possible. and be so distributed as to
produce no distress among tho people. All
property so taken must be fully receipted
and fully accounted for. as heretofore di-
recied.
These orders will be read at the head
OF every regiment. and oil officers are
commanded to strictly enforce them.
