HISTORICAL REMINISCENCE r..

On all occasions, when the record can be
obtained, it should be produced by the Penn
ocrats of the country, not only to defend them
selves ag a;nst the foul ISLANDERS Of tho unscru-
pulo,.s leaders of the press of the traitorous
Abolition organization now controlling the
policy of the country, but also to prove be-
yond the fe arof successful contradiction that
the leading spirits of this same Abolition Or
ganization are the original secessionists ofth
country, and have been working for the de
struction Of this Union for tho last thirty odd
Years past The evidence we mere adducc
substantiatcs the fact. Read the following
resolutions "feund in the New York Weekly
Obse, ger, Of May oath, 1S44:'
Resolved, that political Union in any
form between slaveholding and a free com
munity must necessarily involve tho latter in
a gulf of slavery therefore,
"Resolved, That Secession from the United
States Government is the duty of every Abc-
ltionist, since no one can take Office or depos-
it a vote under the Constitution without VIC
lating his anti-slavery principles and render.
ing himself an abettor to the Shareholder in
his sin.
"Resolved, That fourteen years of warfare
against the slave power have only convinced
us that every act done in support of the
American Union rivets the chain Of tho slaves
that the only cdodus of the slave to freedom,
unless it be one of blood, must he over the
remains of the American Church and the
grave of the present Union.
"Resolved, That the A bolitionists OF this
country should make it ono Of the primary
objects of this agitation to dissolve the Amer
lean Union.
Those resolutions were passed eighteen
years ago by the American Ant. Slavery So
cicty recently held its 3zd anniversary meet
ing in New York, at which Wendell Phil
lips Garrison, and other leading Abolition
lists, were present and participated in the
proceedings.
Wendell Phillips is now one of the "bright
and shining lights Of the Abolitionized Re-
publican party-has been the honored guest
Of the President and ofthe United States SEN
ate at one time during the present session OF
Congress, and declared in the presence OF
those narties in speech, that he has labor
ed nineteen years to break the Constitution,
and thanked God it as broken. Is any moro
evidence needed to convince the people that
the leading spirits ofthe party in power, who
now cry war, war-blood, blood-free the
slave, free the slave, while the treasury of tho
people is being plundered and thousands Of
lives sacrificed, are the original secessionista
of the country-the traitors who have labored
for thirty odd years to destroy the Govern
ment! Is there any moro evidence needed
than that which has already been adduced,
to prove that the Administration and the Alb
olition majority in Congress, are 'cheek by
jowl," acting in conjunction with these arch
traitors for the same parposee We think not.

ONLY A DREAM,
BY ALEX. ATCHlSON.

dreamed what Ifain would believe, lady,
dreamed that my fond heart loved thee;
! dreamed that your bosom did heave, lady,
And that it heaved softly for me.
dreamed that in accents as sweet, lady,
As the nightingale's song DER the air,
You said that for me your heart beat, lady,
And said that my image dwelt there.
dreamed that gazed on your face, lady,
That Isaw the blush fitting away;
! dreamed that for me I could trace, lady,
Above that could never decay.

IN THE EVENING.

In the evening, when the day is DER,
Whispers float upon the balmy air
Float Ike distant music on the air
Like the silent echoes of a prayer;
Angel whispers
Float at eve upon the perfumed air.
Like the silent falling of the dew,
Wept from silver stars upon the rose,
Fall their accents on the weary soul,
Lulling it to silent soft repose
Angel whispers
Fall like dew upon the sleeping rose.

Ms. EDITOR The merchants, storekeepers, and
all persons who are liable TO be robbed at any hour
Of the night, contribute largely to maintain the gov
eminent, and without whom the Ministers and their
clerks would not be enabled to obtain the high sala-
ries which they receive. The wealth OF the nation
and the means Of the government emanate from the
earnings aud purses of all those subject to lGp and
taEes. This is all very well.
or late the financial department has been obliged
to curtail expenses, and in so doing has abolished a
few unnecessary offices of government. 1t was evil
dent that something must be done, in order that
the salaries Of government officials might be paid.
No matter how the welfare of the community is at
tended TO, good or bad, it appears the Ministers will
take very good care that their salaries, and those of
their clerks, shall be forthcoming. That too, l sup
pose is all right.
Mr.. Editor, you have published in the columns Of
the Commercial -4ireTtissr, almost in every issue,
accounts Of some daring robberies, which plainly
show the necessity of a JelO more policemen. l have
conversed with several individuals ON this subject,
who coincide with the views expressed by you. A
decrease in the police force has never been called for,
nor vas it requisite. All that was ever sought was,
a more efficient force. even if there be not quite so
many of them. Instead of that, they have been re-
duced to a small number, and by what authority ,
AcH N"S EN~~ANs
it is shown very plainly that the Ministers have not
acted wisely. Having had the power to reduce the
police force, we should naturally suppose they had
the power to increase it again when they saw the
necessity.
Are we to be left without protection from burglars
and robbers. who successfully enter houses almost
every night, more or lessi The government is TAX
ing no measures to counterfeit this growing evil.
Must We protect ourselves! If so, we had better
call a public meeting. and appoint special policemen
Something must be done, for We are in danger of
losing both our lives and property-plunderers and
assassins have full sway of the town.
As matters now stand, We should not be surprised
to hear of the bank, the Custom House, or any other
public building broken into, and a large amount OF
money distracted therefrOm, provided it is there to
be distracted.
If the government chooses to curtail some of the
salaries now unnecessarily large, there would be no
want of means. Then why not provide for the wants
and necessities of the public, and afford that protec-
ton which they are in duty bound to have, and the
sooner the better. .- "
Yours respectfully, y MERCHANT.

EooNoMIzE PAPER.-Wrapping and writ.
ing paper has been cheap, and therefore it
has been used profusely and wastefully. The
time has come to economize. Let the half
sheets be used when it will answer the pur-
pose intended. Turn the envelopes and use
them second time. Pick up the scraps and
save to be made over. Paper has advanced
90 per cent, chiefly because the material for
making it is scarce. Save all such materials
that you can. If this kind of economy should
be generally practiced, it would not fail to
considerably modify prevailing prices, and be
of immense advantage to the reading and pub
fishing community.-Syracus Union.

THANKSGIVING IN MASSACHUSETTS, REGI-
MENTs.-Gov. Andrew has issued an interest.
ing order which has been forwarded, together
with his proclamation for Thanksgiving to the
commanding officers and chaplains of all
Massachusetts, corps in the field The order
reads -
BY the people of Massachusetts her soldiers
are ever remembered with grateful and affec-
tionate recognition OF the loyalty, the patience
and the bravery with which they have borne
the white flag OF their commonwealth, next
behind the national banner, wherever that
banner has advanced, from the Potomac to
the Gulf On that day, consecrated to relig-
ious and social observances, and hallowed BY
such associations, they shall be remembered
at the church, the table, and the tireside, with
even fonder affection.
By the soldiers OF Massachusetts, the recol-
lection on that day of all which makes these
homes happy, shall reinforce their sacred res
olution never to cease from the conflict for
national Union, till it is crowned with perfect
victory, and shall nerve their strength for
heavier and deadlier blows at rebels whose
treason has set in peril all that has made
America great and glorious before God and
man.
Commanding officers of corps of Massachu-
sets troops will promulgate this order to their
respective commands

A BALL GIVEN BY THIEvEs.-This is wick
ed world The sentiment is old, but good.
Some of the avowed wicked mortals, in the
form of thieves, assembled on Tuesday night
last at a ball at SAMSON street hall. A thieves
ball! Four hundred persons were in attend
ance.
There was no redeeming feature to this
ball. The men who whirled the women in
the may dance would pick your pocket at the
street corner. The women would entice you
to gambling house. Flashy jewelry was
plenty, smiles were as cheap as brass ear
rings-white and golden beads gttered in the
head-dresses of painted participants. Mirth
ruled the hour-such mirth as guilt can feel
when it browns recollection in a momentary
pleasure. The faces that peered into the
glasses, were representatives of those in the
"Rogues' Gallery at the Central Station.
And these men and these women called them
selves Farmers Sons and MERGERS Dauph-
tiers !"
Honor, they say, exists among thieves, and
the proceeds Of the ball were understood to
be for the benefit of professional hero who
had committed a robbery in Baltimore. What
exemplary generosity! What an admirable
gathering for the Quaker city in the year

A LARGE DIAMoND.-There is now on ex-
hibition, at the store of Messrs. Crosby, Hun
newell & Morse, at 24O Washington street,
Boston, diamond said to be the largest one
in North America. 1t is reported to have
been found year since in Stoke county in
the northern part OF North Carolina, on the
Virginia border, near the Blue Ridge. Lon
don and Amsterdam have long enjoyed al
most monopoly in diamond cutting, but
some time since, Mr.. Henry d. Morse of the
above firm introduced the art, and is to-
day the only diamond cutter in this coun-
try The diamond in question, in the rough,
weighed twenty-three and three quarters
carats, and the skill OF the lapidary has sue
eeeded in obtaining cut diamond weighing
nearly twelve carats. Its value is estimated
at between $4,000 and $l3, 1000, and but. for
two almost inappreciable spots the stone
would be worth more. The only diamond in
this country, that approaches, it is said to be
one in the possession of a leading New York
jeweler, winch weighs couple of carats less.
The cost of cutting this diamond from the
rough was about $500.

AID For THE SANITARY COMMISSION
There was another meeting at the City Hall
last evening, to hear Mr.. Furness, in explana-
ton Of the object and plans of the sanitary
commission. Charles B. Pratt, Esq, chair
man of the committee chosen at the last meet
ing, presided Mr.. Furness made an interest
ing detailed statement of the mode of opera
ton of this noble system of national charity,
and its advantages over every other means of
accomplishing the object desired The ma
tional sanitary commission was founded by
the president in the outset of the war, in i'm
itation of the system adopted by the Brit
ish government during the Crimean war. Its
information of what is needed is gathered
from innumerable inspectors of the various
camps and hospitals in and around Washing
ton, employed by the government at a vast
expense. One of its advantages as 4 means
of aid to the poor soldiers, is that it possesses
the right of transportation everywhere, where
the various express companies are forbidden
to carry the merchandise entrusted to them.
The articles most needed are wooden and
flannel goods, Shirts drawers, blankets, &C.
Mr.. Furness related some very affecting
and interesting incidents which had become
part of his experience on the battle field and
in the hospitals, where he had acted as the
agent of the sanitary commission. This por-
ton of his address was intensely interesting.
He said it was wonderful to see the patience
and cheerfulness with which the sick and
wounded in the numerous hospitals bore up
under their misfortunes. When it is recol-
lected that about one hundred and fifty thou
sand sick and wounded soldiers need the at
tention Of nurses and physicians, it will be
seen that it is impossible to give too much aid.
He said that what was wanted of Worcester
was the appointing of committee of men to
raise funds, and for the ladies to continue
their present efficient work in experimenting
the making and working up of articles that
were needed, these organizations to be in con-
slant correspondence with the agents of the
commission at Washington, Boston, or else
where.
When Mr.. Furness had concluded, Mr.
Pratt as chairman of the committee appoint
ed at the last meeting to confer with the COM
mittee of citizens formerly chosen to attend
to the wants of the sick and wounded soldiers
from Worcester, made a report stating that
the committee had attended to the duty as
| signed them, but that the former committee
was chosen for a specific object, and while
they heartily sympathized with the movement,
preferred a distinct field of operations for
each committee. On motion of DR.. Martin, a
committee of ten, consisting of the following
| gentlemen was chosen to solicit funds through
out the city, in aid of this enterprise: P. En-
DRY Aldrich, Joseph Mason, Stephen Sails
bury, A. II. Bullock, Edwin Draper, D. S.
Mes singer, f. II. Kinnicutt, Albert Tolman,
