without any chance to recover. So with
all legal advertising, which is in the
North, it being given mostly to repub-
llcan papers. If the bill was intended
to protect republican papers over all
others, it gives rich promise that way,
But we can stand it as long as the Gov
ernment can. Would it not have look
ell better to have said in plain words
"And be it further enacted, That
all republican papers be exempt from
taxation, and all democratic and relig-

People would have understood the

"THE worst men in the Southern Confede-
racy," said Parson Brovn'ow, the other day,
to an assembly Of people, care the preachers.
When they became secesh they bid traewell
to honesty, truth and decency." The worst
men" in the North fare the preachers" !"
Those who became political abolitionists 'bid
farewell to honesty, truth and decency,''
When they of the North and the South
abandoned the holiness of their profession
for the strife Of politics, they made them
selvs ''the worst men, in the nation. At
their door, more than at any other, lays the
crime of instigating this war. They filed
the hearts of their respective people with ha-
tired, malice and uncharitableness toward
each other. Dividing first among themselvs:
they expected to see great nation willing to
follow their example, for the mere purpose of
gratifying the passion they had created.

THE WHISkEY REBELLION.

We think every man, not absolutely
monomaniac on the subject of slavery,
will see at a glance the propriety and
justice of the comparison in the follow
ing short and pithy extract which We
make from an article in the Harrisburg
PA Patriot and UnioM;
eve had a rebellion once in Penn
sylvania. 1t extended over number
of western counties. 1t WAS caused by
whiskey, more properly speaking y
tax upon whiskey. Washington sum
moned an army aud marched westward
but before he reached the scene of the
revolution the rebels dispersed, aud tho
rebellion came to an end. The Presi-
dent was satisfied with the result. He
did not say This rebellion was caused
by whiskey, and cannot hope for peace
while there is gallon of whiskey dis
titled in Pennsylvania lie did not
cndeavor to remove the cause by de-
molishing all the distilleries in Penn.
sylvania. He did not say that while
whlskey continued to be distilled there
was reason to anticipate periodical re-
bellions. His business was to enforce
the laws. He dill that promptly and
summarily, and considered the work
finished. Now whiskey was undeniab-
ly the cause of this rebellion. Had
there been no whiskey there would
have been no rebellion. Whiskey was
as much the cause of that rebellion as
slavery is of this. We have never had
another rebellion on acsount Of whiskey,
and when this rebellion is pat down we
vii! never have another rebellion on ac.
count of slavery"

fused to grant security to the rights of
the weaker party that the Government
would perform toward the South its
Constitutional duties. Hence, in ci-
ther aspect from or towards the South
ern view or the Northern view, the
existing war was both illegtimate and
unnecessary in its inception, and might
have been and should have been avoid
ded and prevented. It is needless to
attempt to prove that both the domi-
nant political party Of the North and
the 10 less dominent party of the South
are both to blame for the existing state
of things, as historical facts within the
reach of most readers, have transpired
within a period of little over a year
which fasten upon the Sectional party
of the North refusal to declare in
some official manner that the Constitu-
tional rights of the people of the South
would be respected by the Government
as it was about to be administered, as
had been done by all proceeding admin
lstrations, and that upon this guaranty
being refused, the South took up arms
to assert and to maintain what they
assumed to be their rights threatened
with aggression. This being the case
in the inception Of the war, how it is to
end, or at what point should it termi-
nate, are legitimate subjects Of enquiry
and reconsideration by every American
citizen. 1t is neither treason nor dis
loyalty, as corrupt demagogues will
have it, for an American freemen to
think of the state of the Union, and to
make such suggestions respecting its
we'll being as his jugdment might arrive
at.
Illegitimatc and unnecessary as a
resort to war was in the beg inning, the
refusal of Congress to take measures
to prevent it left the Executive no other
remedy which could be used with pro
priety than to resist the aggressions
commenced by the revolted States. So
that in this point of view the war be-
came legitimate and necessary on the
part of the Government. But never,
thcless, it is still proper subject of
enquiry and of consideration when will
it end, what is it's ultimate object, what
the design Of those who control the Ad-
ministratiye action and course Of the
Government.
Fit is to end only in the reunion of
the States Of the South with those of
the North, might not this reunion be
effected more easily and more certainly
and become more endurable when effect
ed by some such means as the Union
was originally constructed. than by the
compulsion Of force, which must prob
ably be kept applied to preserve it from
the disruption Of constrained elements.
1t should not be forgotten Or ignored
that there is good deal Of human ma
ture il the American people, South as
we'll as North ; neither should the ex-
perience of other Nations and ofpeople,
in modern as well as in ancient times,
be lost to us in America in settling our
domestic difficulties and in renewing a
friendship between the two sections Of
the country which should never have
been disturbed, Dubuque Herald,

EnglIsh money vs.. rreedom.

Recent facts have come 10 light which
shows that English money finds its way
South. Scarcely a dead body of the re-
bel sOldiery on the fields of the PENN
sula but the pockets contained English
silver. An officer of the army, just from
the field Of. operations, had an English
shilling from the body of one of the dead
rebels, and he says this is the case with
almost all of their dead. Last fall Eng
lish Bank of England notes were very
common in Richmond amongst the rebel
magnates.-S. Louis Republican.
American democracy is then, it seems,
again fighting against British gold. We
hove encountered this enemy before. We
fought againstit in 1776, when it was
sent over by millions to fee BENEDICT
ARNOLD, and General LEE, and the Tories
of Virginia, South Carolina, and the
Eastern States. We fought against it
in 1912, when British agents scattered it
freely among the traitors Of New Eng
land; and bribed them to malign and
traduce JAMES MADISON and our armies.
We fought against it during JBFFERsoN's
Administration, when British influence
again sought TO prevent the expansion of
our territory. We fought against it when
Great Britain sought to hold from us the
undivided supremacy of the Mississippi
river. These are few of the instances
in which British gold has been used to
destroy the Government which British
arms could not injure. And we have no
doubt that millions of British gold have
again been furnished to the rebels. How
else could British notes find their waV
into the armies of JEFT. DAVIS, unless the
money of English aristocracy is again
employed TO corrupt our people and
overthrow our Government Is it not
time that the people Of the South were
awakening to the imminent peril which
threatens them from foreign plots and
conspiracies Let them follow the ex-
ample of their fathers, and consign the
rebel leaders who are feed by British
gold, to an infamy as black as that of

A trining little rebel paper in Kentucky
processes 70 doubt the truth of our state
ment respecting the origin Of JEFF. DA-
WIS. What we stated is well known TO
hundreds of the best citizens of Chris
tian and Todd counties, Kentucky.
JEFF DAVIS father lived for a number Of
years in log cabin situated in what is
now the town Of Fairview, twelve miles
from Hopkinsyille, Ky. The house IS
now weatherboarded and used as tav-
ern. Old DAVIS was man of bad char
acter, horse trader. and swindler, and
of very low habits. A fine horse was
missing on one occasion in the neighbour
hood, under such suspicious circumstan-
ces that be found il safest to leave Che
county Immediately and fly to Mississip-
pi. JEFF. DAVIS is his Legitimate son
born some miles distant from his fathers
house, and taken home by him when
several years of age. These are notorious
facts Some Of DAVIS relatives still live
in that part Of Kentucky. We would
never have alluded to this sinister bar on
JEFF's escutchen, were not his friends
continually prating about Southern gen.
tility and the low breeding of Union peo-
pie. Our own opinion is that JEFF's birth
does him more credit than any portion of
his subsequent life.

whrIs In

Some days ago we copied from an At
lanta rebel paper paragraph urging the
arming of negroes "to fight the Yankees"
The paragraph has been largely copied
by the newspapers Of the country, but
we have yet to see the first so-called
Democratic, or rather Buchanan and
Vallandigham paper, which has noticed
the suggestion with disapprobation.--
They see nothing very bad about il af-
Ter all-it is indeed quite a natural step
just what we might have expected
anybody else would do the same thing
situated similarly" But when it was
reported few days ago that General
HUNTER was arming the negroes to de-
fend some forts, what howl went up
from the Vallandighamites. They yelled,
howled, rosred, beloved, grOaned, hiss
ed and screeched, and made all sorts'of
unearthly noises which could signify
their pious adherence. The Constitution
was trampled on--the firm of Magma
Charta, Palladium & Co., broken up-the
Union shiyered into an infnity of di-
minutiye particles and hopelessly scat
tered-and "radicalism" had its cloven
foot on the neck of PROSTATE "conserva-
tism." Now we would like to know the
reason Of this difference, and why it is
that what is sauce for the loyal goose will
not answer at all as relish for the Sc
cession gander. We make no charges
against any one. We merely state
most significant fact, and leave the loyal
public to draw their own conclusions.
We shall know hereafter the exact value
to set upon these self-styled organs of
conservatism. 1t is passing wonderful
that some of our political critics can find
nothing but general denunciations to
hurl at the rebellion, and reserve all their
legal bubbles, their constitutional diff
culties and conservative qualms of con-
science to pour into the ear of the Adj
ministration while engaged in a death
struggle with traitors already damned
with every guilt known in earth or He'll,
