QUESTIONABLE LoYAL1Y.-Not long since,
in Congress, John A. Bingham, Repu blican
member from Ohio, in a debate on the Tax
bill, made use of the following language
Who in the name of Heaven, wants the
cotton States, or any other State this side of
perdition to remain in the Union if slavery is
to continue ?" We are disguised with these
loval men with an it." Mr.. Bingham can
find plenty of sympathizers in the rebel States
they don't want the cotton States in the
Union if slavery is to continue any more than
the honorable gentleman from Ohio. Do the
Republicans of Iowa sympathize with such
reasonable sentiments as the above? We
hope not, but fear too many of them do. as We
have nowhere seen any Republican paper Ia
king exceptions TO them.

1mperishable.

The pure, the bright. the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth;
Ihe impulse To a wogded prayer,
The dreams Of love and truth,
Ihe longings after something lost.
The spirits longing cry.
The strivings after better hopes
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth TO aid
A brother in his need.
Inc kindly word in criefs dark hour
That proves the friend indeed;
The plea for mercy. softly breathed.
When justice threatens high
The sorrows of contrite heart
These things shall never die
The memory of 4 clasping hand,
The presence of kiss
And all the triles. sweet and frail
That make up loves first bliss:
If with firm. unehanging faith,
And holy trust and high
Those hands have claspd those lips have met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word
That wounded as il fell;
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel, but never tell;
The hard repulse that chills the heart,
Whose hopes are bounding high,
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must ind some work TO do:
Lose not chance TO va ken love
Be firm. and just and true;
So shall light that cannot fade,
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee
These things shall never die.

Every day We witness the increased efforts OF
men like Sumner and others, who have

them to this result. # the negro be naturally

read from Reverdy johnson:

It finds me about TO start for New Orleans on

comply with your request. l am glad to hear
that such movement is to be made The war
itself is nearly at an end. Rebellion is almost
annihilated, and as far as patriotic soldierv can
effect it, the Constitution and the laws will
