ORIGIN OF THE REBELLIoN.-Itis almost
useless, in these exciting times, to revert
to the origin of the rebellion. The words
Of soberness and truth are unheeded, and
passion and prejudice reign supreme
The New York Journal Of Commerce
says: 1--WE make no excuse for the re.
belliOn. We do not pretend to say that
II was justified by any act Of the North
ern States or Northern people. 1t was
conceived in sin and born in iniquity.-
But If the mother was Southern party,
or was slavery, the father was Northern
fanaticism and anti-slavery, and the child
of sin bears more resemblance to the father
than the mother. For slavery was the
prOte0e, the adopted child of the Consli-
tuition, while anti-slavery was the avowed
enemy of the Constitution, and bore on
its flag, its newspapers, its very forehead,
the marks of enmity which are now as
sumed by the Southern rebellion /" These
are facts which no one can dispute, and
yet the party which caused all the trou-
bic is never censured by those in power.

FREEDOM OF THE PREss.-The U. S.
Constitution declares that Congress shall
make no law abridging the freedom of the
press; but the Postmaster General and
military officers are above the Constitu-
ton. 1t is not binding on them, although
they solemnly swore to support it. The
Provost Marshal OF st. Louis has issued
an order requiring all publishers of news
paper in the State Of Missouri, St. Louis
papers excepted, to furnish him copy of
each issue for inspection, a failure with
which order will render the paper liable
to suppression. This is the way they do
things in Austria. With the same pro-
priety the Provost Marshal ofSt. Louis"
might issue an order requiring" all me-
chanics to send him an article, made by
them, for nothing. Publishers Of news
papers pay for paper, ink, composition
and press work and their property is
as much entitled to respect and protection
as any other species Of property This is
protecting private property with ven
geance!

sir, to mingle our tears with yours on

With patriotic pride we review the life
Of our Washington, and compare him
with those Of other countries who have
been pre.eminent in fame. Ancient and
modern names diminish before him.
Greatness and guilt have too often been al

favorable opportunity, encouraging and
putting neutrals. We are not The neu-
trails are Republicans in disguise, hired by
prominent Republicans to steal into the
Democratic party and profess to believe
in its principles, the better to betray it.

are extremely cautious to not say word

offend their kind masters. These wretch

COTTOS IN ILLINOIS. State Regis
ter, the old and reliable organ of the De
mocracy of Illinois, is bitterly opposed to
the proposition to make Illinois cotton
planting State, particularly by means of
negro labor. The Register has no notion
of allowing the blacks to come into that
free State to work alongside of white men.
A State is happier and more prosperous
without them, and when they come in
competition with white labor the prefer
ence is generally given to those who
work the cheapest and are the most ODE
dent. 1t says:
"Ifcotton can be grown in this State it can
be grown by white men, and if such a crop
can be profitably raised, white men riU grow
it. II it cannot be made profitable without
filling up our State with population of de-
graded labnrerS let us go on with the produce

profits on small farms than that the few, with

Masonic Brethren,
Citizens.


Citizens.
When the Procession had arrived at the
bottom Of the elevated lawn, on the banks
Of the Potomac, where the family vault
is placed, the cavalry halted. the infantry
marched towards the Mount and formed
their lincs--the Clergy, the Masonic
Brothers, and the Citizens, descended to
the vault, and the funeral service of the
Church was performed. The firing was
repeated from the vessel in the river, and
the sounds echoed from the woods and
hills around.
These general discharges by the infant
ry-the cavalry, and II pieces Of artillery,
which lined the banks of the Potomac
back of the Vault, paid the last tribute to
the entombed Commander in chief Of the
Armies of the United States and the de-
parted Hero.
The sun was now setting. Alas the
SON OF GLORY was set for ever. No-the
name of WASHINGTON-the American
President and General-will triumph over
DEATH! The uncIouded brightness of his
glory will illuminate the future ages!
On Thursday, December 10Th, "Mr.
Marshall, with deep sorrow on his counte
nance, and in a low tone Ofvoice rose and
addressed the House, and offered the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, That this House will wait on the
President of the United States, in coincidence
of the mournful event.
Resolved, That the Speakers chair be
shrOuded with black, and that the Members
and officers Of the House wear black during
the session. .r
Resolved, That q committee in conjunction
with one from the Senate, be appointed TO cOh.
slider the most suitable manner Of paying hon
or to the memory Of the man, first in war, first
in peace, and first in the hearts Of his country.
"ResOlved, That this House when it adiOurns,
do adjourn to Monday"
These resolutions were unanimously
agreed to. Sixteen members were ap-
pointed on the third resolution.
Generals Marshall and Smith we're ap-
pointed to wait on the President to know
at what time it would be convenient to
receive the House.
Generals Marshall and Smith having
waited on the President with the first
resolution, reported, that the President
would be ready TO receive them at
o'clock this day. The House accordingly
waited on him.
The Speaker addressed the President
in the following words:
SIR,
The House of Representatives, penetra.
ted with sense of the irreparabIe loss
sustained by the nation, by the death Of
that great and good man, the illustrious
and beloved Washington, wait on you,
