" Startling Measures"

During the debate ii the relel Congres
on the 18th Of March, the question Of
fixing salaries under the new Confederate
Government, Mr.. Boyce, Of South Caro-
lima, said:
/, however, object to a high salary at
this time. Congress will have deyoyed
upon it a great mission. 1t may be that
ia the progress Of this great revolution
they may be compelled to save the country
at all hazards, and by the most surfing
measures, and it would lie necessary, in
order to do that, that they should have
the confidence Of the people, and what
would give that more fully than dislnter-
estedness in regard to money matters!
fear. if their salaries should be increased,
that it would diminish that influence
which it would be necessary for them to
have in order 10 work out this great mis-
sion.
The I" Starting Ncasures" alluded to
by Mr.. Boyce can have no other alIusion
than this: If all other hopes If gaiaing
the Independence Of the confederaey fail,
then a resort shall be had to emancipation
This resort, it is known, would change the
entire nature Of the war. The South
would then be fighting FOX their institutions
Of liberty, while the North would be fight

which constitution and laws have been SC
interpreted BY the Supreme Court as to
fix and perpetuate slavery. Emancipation
by the rebel congress would, without ques-
ton, invoke the immediate and universal
aid Of Europe on behalf the confederacy
for the act would be taken for righteous
ness Of cause, while the motive would nev

Worth Weighing

Wendell Phillips occupied the pulpit Of
the Unitarian Church in Chicago (ReY.
Mr.. Collyefs) last Sunday morning
From the report Of his discourse, which
we find in the Tribune, we clip the folow-
ing passages, and commend them to tie
thinking men Of the age:
The Bible, above all other books, asserts
the sqcredaess Of he iadtridqal. The
richt Of a man 10 he, and develop Is God
and his own conscience shall direct him, II
The ultimate right, beyond which there is
no other, and which needs no argument ~
We generally think We have reached tile
high water mark Of sanctity when we have

thing as federation, and theresougbt 70 &c
no such word in the dictionary. You have
no right to say to me--a million men have
no right to say to one--"1 on are ali
wrong here, you ought not to think thus
or 10 this, but ! win allow You to 90 it;
/ will tolerate your opinions" 'ie one
man has as much right to bis opinion, r.
the million to theirs. Jonathan hdgAfds
could no more tolerate Tom Paine, than
Ton Paine could tolerate him. In Bos-

The following from the DodgeyiIle .Ad


The following from the Dodgeville Id
gocqts is about Is sensible as anything we
have seen:
To any one whose head is cool enough
ia these war times, to calmly reflect,
it must be amusing, if not something other
than amusing, 70 read in abe leading news
papers Of the country tae wonderful de-
finements given BY this great man, that
great man, fother great man, about the
Constitution Of the nation. 1t seems
however that most Of the great men
want to have us understand that the thing
IS nfallible-perfect. cannot be altered, os
amended, and must last forever. Some
of them, also. want us to distinctly under
stand that a recognition Of human chattle-
hood is one prominent constituted clement
of this same constitution, in fact that the
enslaye ent Of Africans is one Of its
strongest poiuts-that is its very sap--the
life essence Of 1t, and that, whatever else
becomes Of the Constitution, that particu-
Lar feature of it can never be altered OF
abrogated THAT, at any rate, Is inialible
No matter how much or how many other
constitutions may be against this particular
feature Of the Constitution, this is a fix
ture immoyalle. The constitution OF hui
mainly may be against il, the constitution
of morality may be against it, the cSnsti-
tuition Of christianity may be against It, tht
constitution Of human brotherhood may
be against it, the constitution Of the uni
verse may be against it, but what Of al
these? This one idea in the Constitution
is stronger, and longer, and tougher thar
all, and must be respected more than all.
There are few people in the country
who do not feel like saying amen to thi;
logic, but we are deliberately told thai
they are addle headed, dangerous charac
/ tiers; in fact, traitors to the Constitution
and they should be pelted with rotten eggs

BroFnlov al The Methodist Book Concern, CincinnaiIi

Parson Brownlow, by appointment, met
some thirty Methodist ministers At the
Methodist took Concern, Cincinnati, on
Monday morning last, and made brief
address, Of which the following is a syn
opsis:
lie knew only three Methodist preach
ers who were loyal. Bishop Soule con
demned the rebellion; he did not dme to
do more, because be would be hung, old
as he IS. He had to swear to support the
Confederacy. mfr. Brownlow said the
Southern churches were raned for good
Union people would not hear secession
preachers, nor secessionists those who were
loyal.
He Ghe speaker) owed bis escape 10 the
protests Of his friends in East Tennessee,
which is Union five to one, ard to the
political civilian leaders Of Tennessee, say
inc if be (BrownIow) was kept. twelve q
their leaders would be sacrificed. His
wife aud children were detained as hosta-
oes for his Mgood conduct" He told lis
wife to make up her mind to be executed,
as he should certainly speak and write
against the Confectionery.
The worst men, he remarked, in the
Southern ConfedeIacy are Methodist, Bah
list, Presbyterian and Episcopalian preach
ers. They drink and sv@ar week days
AMI preach Sundays Whenthey became
secesh, the bid farewell to truth and decen-
cy. The Confederacy originated in lying,
stealing, and perjury. Floyd did the
stealing, the common masses the lying and
fourteen Senators from the Cotton States
the peIiurv-the latte- class while still
retaining their seats in the United States
Senate, and making preteace Of observ-
ING their oaths, met at night till - o'clock
/ holding secret meetings, sending despatch
es to their respective States to pass ordi-
nanees Of secession, to seize forts, &C.,
&c.
Among other instances illustrating the
spirit prevailing among the Southern cer-
~, Mr. Brownow said that the pastor d
the first Presbyterian Church 10 l>nc1siile
called aunion prayer 's,-sting to pray that
Buuside's a.,s5 might sink and the block
ade &c raised. The same minister had
eaid that he would rather use Bible
printed aud bound in hell than one from
the North. Also, that jesus Christ was
born ON Southern soil, and that all bis
apostles were southern men, except Judas
Iscarot, who was a Norlhern man. Tbs
was sud openly, from his pulpit on Sun
day.
Mr. Brownlow is Of opinion that there

Mr.. EDIroR:- This pleasant morning
7 pen few lines for your columns, to let
the friends ii old Grant know that her
loyal soas, who have gone South to help
put down The rebellion, are still at their
post. Our regiment, with three Others,
are here guarding the batteries stationed
to keep the rebels from making their es-
cane down the river from Island No. 10.
There Is a small band of rebels just oppo-
site lis, on the other side Of the river; they
have a small battery Of three guns, which
they use every day, throwing shells over
into our camp, from which we have re-
ceiyed no damage as yet.
Our encampmeut here IS a very disa-
greeable one; the coGutry is yery low and
flat and so overfowed that we have to
make our sleeping apartment on logs and
Other things 10 keep out Of the water.
We had the privilege Of experiencing a
southern storm a few nights since, in which
three men were killed and seven badly in
jured, two Of which elonged to our regi-
ment.
Since we left Cairo we have Jared pretty
hard, having nothing but hard crackers
and fat pork, with coffee, and sometimes
not full rations Of these. We have now
in our possession three thousand sacks Of
corn thu belonged % the rebels; there is
mil only four miles tIom here, SO We
viii have chance now to live awhile on

The boys are IN great want Of then
money, so that they can help themselves
to what Injuries they can get. We have
