We leave the reader to judge of the

and character of the class of men of whom
he spoke, for he had suffered insult and
outrage at their hands, because he had
stood true and steady as for the Union.
Notwithstanding all the honor he had
conferred in Massachusetts,, her fanaticial
people, in return therefore, sent him in
sorrow and grief to his grave. Now, Mass

THE EFFECT OF NCIPATIoN IN THE
SoUTH.-Mr John s. Phelps, the Union
member of Congress from the Southwes-
tern part of Missouri, in late speech in
the House of Representatives, said:
81 said that the proclamation of Gener-
al Fremont, proclaiming emancipation to
the slaves of rebels in the State of Missouri,
did cause men who, up to that moment had
been loyal, to flock to the standard of
Price. l know that the proclamation was
printed by the rebel press of the State,
and was circulated among the people
wherever the rebel emissaries could reach,
and know very we'll that when the Pres
ident's modification of that proclaim alton
made its appearance in st Louis it was an
impossibility to get it within the lines of
the rebel army, and it never went there y
And, yet, after such statements, we find
men, pretending to be for the Union throw
up their hats for negro emancipation,
which is, apparently, the only thing that
can keep the Confederate cause alive.

Captain John j. Robinson, of Tuscara-
awas county, now Captain in the Eighth
eth Ohio regiment, near Corinth, thus
writes to the Holmes County Fmmer about
the damaging effects Of the Abolition eman-
cipation projects that are being passed by
the present Congress
"The legislation of Congress on the
slavery question has greatly Strengthened
the rebel cause in the south west The
rebel leaders now say, Did we not tell you
what the Abolitionists would do if they
succeeded. The Abolitionists have thrown
all the doubtful and wavering on the side Of
the rebels, except very few, who count
chances Of success and act accordingly -
1t is hard for soldiers to crush Secession
when Congress is trampling upon the con-
stitution, and enforcing the dogmas which
aided in bringing this devasting war upon
the country 1t will take the last life s
drop Of many poor soldiers to repair the
damage that the present Congress has done
to the Union cause"

the whole army, and every other discreet,
sensible man in the Union JEFF. Davis

BLACK VS.. WHITE LABoR.-The Day
ton Umpire srys that many of the Repub-
lican nabobs of that are discharging white
men and women from their employ, and
hiring in their places the recently arrived
'contrabands,' whose services they get at
very low prices-as low as eight cents per
day in some instances. We learn that in
the lower part of Bucks county, in our own
State, the Abolitionists are doing the same
thing. We could name dozen leading
Abolition families in that county, who
have discharged their white "help," and
employed runaway slaves, because they
can get them much cheaper than white
laborers. We have already published
the fact that, in Franklin and WesrChes-
ter counties, white people are thus being
crowded from their places by the freed
negroes from the District of Columbia, and
the runaway slaves now swarmipg into
Pennsylvania from the south, and we
doubt not there are many other counties
in this state IN which these "contrabands"
are crowding white men and woman out
of work. A little time will reveal to the
labouring white men of Pennsylvania and
other free States that this influx of black
laborers threatens to deprive them of their
bread and butter If the extremists in
Congress succeed in carrying out their
programme, white men viii be compelled
to emigrate to Illinois and such States as

silvery notes. goes back to other times,
when another sat by his side and whisper

does he wish to; for in soft evening light,

and, as one by one gentle emotions steals
over him, he wells his face, and the daugh

little wants of old age, is a spectacle fit for
