The Congress that has enacted these
Of reform--of real substantial
has nothing to fear, either from
the jealousy Of schigmatics or the villainous
Of the pro-alavery Democracy.
These five measures are five steps in the
work Of accomplishing the nations reno
vation, which. for all time to come, will
mike the actors in them honored and re-
membered.
WE KNEW THEY WOULD HOWL.
We knew it would be so. We knew
that as soon as any General with :
or without the authority Of the
Government, shoCld take steps to relieve
our loyal Northern troops from the deadly
effects Of extra duty in an unhealthy eli
mate, making Notifications, hauling guns
through the sand, building roads and the 7
like, BY employing the slaves Of rebels for
that purpose, paying the slaves, not their
masters, the money fairly earned by fair |
days work, that the secession press would |
break out into a loud and long howl that |
would be re-eehoed throughout the land; |
that the cry would he taken up in |
Congress BY such patriots as
Vallandigham, Dick Richardson, Dick
Voorhees, and the like, and That their JOINT
efforts would kick up just as big adjust rs
the gang could raise in these moist times.
We are not disappointed. The Chicago
Times, the editor OF which has the direction
Of the :" fire in the rear" that ho foretold
:ftcr half dozen States had seeded, has
struck the key note, and the dou-11o1o-ing
has commenced 1t is not difficult to see
what they want. Employ as many Slaves
as are needed, but pay their masters, and al
will be right. Do as the Pro-S1avery De-
moc1acy always did in Washington when
they had sway there-till up the Govern
| ment workshops, the porters' places, the
folding rooms, &c, with blacks who be-
long to somebody, pay that some
body what they can, and no com
| plant will be made. That's the way.
We know how it worked. We have seen
in the Navy Yard, ct the Capital. gangs Of
stalwart black fellows toiling side by side
with the best Of American mechanics, and
| the latter complained, not Of the presence
or smell Of their sable helpers, but Of
the rank injustice Of not permitting
the slaves to enjoy what they
earned. The negroes worked, and the
first families Of the District or o1
adjoining Virginia OF Maryland spent
That arrangement never excited remark
That vas in accordance with Democratic
aogmas, and all right. That was the emodern
idea Of the fright to life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness The old adage il

Government works On slave soil, was re
