WA only that she might then decide whether to stop
War. She had already made War.
This was oppression indeed; and il was very hard
to bear. Nevertheless not hard as the insult che
combined with it, We knew, and we knew that she
knew, that had such rebels gone ont from her to
compass her destruction, she would, without any
delay or hazard by forms and ceremonies, have
caught them wherever she coald and hung them
How keenly insulting 10 Us was her arrogant position
that our national dignity is not entitled 10 such
prompt vindlcation 10 hers, and that our national
safety falls immeasurably below her own in value
and saoredness. She had neither forgotten nor
regretted that abe had taken thousands of entirely
innocent men from our ships. What contempt then
did she pour upon when she virtually told us that
she Is infinitely our superior, that we must not
take from her ships 30 much ~ four men-no and
not even if they are very guilty men No doubt this
is IN her eyea fitting attitude for nation of centuries
Of iauo toward upstart America.
But pass on TO speak of our circumstances nj the
time England declared war against US. Would that
she had been moved by them to pity us, instead of
being tempted by them to oppress us We were
struggling under rebellion the nightest ever
knowm-aud the wickedest ever known. Il was
very wicked because entirely uaprovoked. Nay,
while we had never encroached upon the rights OF
the Rebels We bad but seldom resisted their multi
piled encroachments upon ours. Much more wicked.
however, was the Rebellion because il was Pro
Slavery one Facts prove that il was a purely Pro-
Slavery one Not . single Free State was drawn
into il. Eleven of the Slave States rushed into it;
aud the remaining four would have followed had
they not been restrained by the fear of Federal
troops. The different sections in them all sympa.
thize with the Rebellion just in proportion to their
respective interest in Slavery. Relieve Kentucky,
Missouri and Maryland Of the presence of Federal
troops, and they would instantly Join the Rebellion.
There are nominal shareholders who care little or
nothing for Slavery. But in all the land, North or
SOUTH there IL not one man of the slavehoding spirit
who does not prefer the Rebellion with Slavery to
to the Union without Slavery. Bot enough TO prove
the Pro Slavery character of the Rebellion Is the In
tensely PiO-Savery character OF the Government
which the Rebels orgsnlzed-though It may DO well
TO add that nothing less satanic than she spirit OF
Sla very could have been sufficient to prompt men to
70 satanic q rebellion. How preposterous for the
Rebels to say, as they do for he purpose OF winning
Europe to their side, that our nigh Tariff was unen-
durable IL was not high whom the Rebellion broke
oat: and the Rebels had but 10 insist on its being
lower TO make it lower. Our high tariff is War
measure. 1t may DO made much higher, and yet be

The Action of the Democracy at

BY the following synopsis of some
remarks made by Sena tor Hazleton,
on Saturday, a clear idea of the ont,
rage committed on the State interests
by the partizan democracy of the As
sembly, in preventing the war fund

ton, will be obtained:
"Senator IIazleton went into a brief
review of the action Of the Democratic
members Of the Legislature during the
session. lie charged directly that the
members OF that panty had opposed
the sending of vouchers to Washing
ton, which would secure Il reimburse
ment to the State OF some 500, Opo of
the money that had been expended for
war purposes. He claimed that this
action had simply been to cmbarass
the affairs Of the State, in the hope that
a party advantage might be gained
thereby. He thought it was proper
that the people Of this State should
know this fact The wives of yolun-
tecrs were suffering for the want ottac
s. per month that the State had prom
ised them, and that they might have
received but for this demonstration
on the part of the Democratic mem
bers to prevent the vouchers from be-
ing sent to Washington, upon which
alone, the United States government
would reimburse TO the State 1t was
to gain party advantage that had in
duced this injustice to be done to the
creditors of this State; and he wished
to have the people know OH whom,
and on what party the blame for this
delay rests. AS aproof that the Unit
ed States government was ready to re-
lmburse, II: case the vouchers were pre-
sented, he read an extract from a let
ter Of Paymaster General Mills, who
had spent several weeks in Washing
ton endeayoring to obtain settlement
OF these accounts. He read the follow
ing extract from Mr.. Mills letter, dat

tary OF States office.

The settled policy OF the Con'eder
ate Generals seem TO be evacuation
and retreat. Manassas was hel'
until an attack was inevitable, anC
then evacuated. At Yorktown thC
same game was played, and recent
ly at Corinth.
These continued retreats, from
strong positions, show one or two
things-either that the Confederate
Generals have no confidence in theii
troops, and ore afraid to rick engage
ments, or that they deaign to retrea
"a slowly as possible, delaying th'
