CAMERON's VERACIrY.-The Committee
on the Investigation of contracts have
before them several contracts signed by
Simon Cameron, as Secretary Of War,
though he sent a communication to Con-
gress few days since, declaring that he
had nerer made any contracts, all such
being drawn up by the heads of Bureaus.
So it seems lying must be added to the
other virtues Of honest Simon.

JUDAS AND ARNoLD.-Thcse two names,
says the Nevada Journal, warm Union
paper, have stood in pilloried infaIny-
one for almost nineteen hundred years,
and the other for almost century but,
Judas covetousness, and Arnold's treach-
cry, are likely to be Outdone during the
present war. Men who, at such time
as this, will swindlc government, cheat
the brave and patriotic men who are fight
ing for our country and endangering their
lives, by sending them into battle with
sanded cartridges and defective arms,
would have sold the Saviour as readily as
Judas did; but less penitent than he,
would never bring back the thirty pieces
of silver.

THE Shasta Courier, an old but erratic
newspaper, entered upon its eleventh vol
ume on the Sth instant. 1t sanctions and
justiies every arbitrary, unconstitutional
and Democratic order and measure
of the Administration it ridiculcs and
assails old and reliable Democrats whose
only sia is that they oppose Republican
ism, yet it Processes to be Democratic.
Its professions and its teachings are ir-
reconcilable 1t is edited with marked
ability, and with apparent contempt for
consistency or principle.

SLAVERY The New York Tribune is
daily filled with Incorporate articles on
slavery, which can do no good, and only
arouse angry passions and create injuri-
Gus prejudices. In late number it says ;
"Where there is no slavery there is no re-
bellion. Those who deny that slavery is the
pretext and cause of the rebellion would do
well TO bear this simple fact in mind '
To which the Louisville Journal crush
ingiy rcjoins:
ave are not aware that there was any
slavery in Heaven-yet the first rebellion broke
out there"

4 DEFIANT DlsUNIoNIsT.-The New
York Tribune is the acknowledged head
and organ of one wing Of the Republican
party. 1t cxerts wider Influence than
the President of the United States. The
wing that indorses its views and follows
its lead, is large, influential, active and
jealous. This being an incontrovertible
fact, it may not be out of place to notice
its teachings. Docs it wish the Union
restored: Is it willing to live up to Con
stitutonal compacts? Has it not sought
to break up the Union? Hasait not de-
nounccd the Constitution and derided the
flag Of our country? Has it rot dccSafed
that it ''preferrcd the Chicago Platform to
fly Unions! Is it not now preaching
treason P Here is what it says in late
number:

"SoNEBopY Else" the H,ppJiicans
San Francisco correspondent, mentioned
the names Of number OF gentlemen who
are aspirantS for Congressional honor in
this District, and among them he placed
young gentleman in FL Dorado, without
mentioning his name. As we had fire.
quently heard Mr.. Fitch spoken of as an
aspirant by his friends, we took it for
granted he was the young gentleman in
FL Dorado" referred to by Somebody
Else" and so stated. We infer from an
article in the Republican that it is a
"mixcd question" whether he viii! be a
candidate or not, and that he objects to
our bringing him forward, probably think
ing the recommendation Of "Secesh"
would be fatal to his aspirations. In
justice to him, therefore, we take pleasure
in stating that we "learn from the Re
publican that Thomas Fitch, ESQ.," may
be candidate. Satisfactory, Thomas:

PAssED.-.Van Dykes hashy resolutions,
which are thrown out to deceive aad en-
trap the unwary, have passed the Senate,
and will probably pass the House. They
fooishly as falsely declare that party is
sues are dead. Democrats have living
principles which can never die and for
which they will contend so long as they
are permitted to exercise the rights of
freemen: Better, wiser, greater and pu-
rer men than Van Dyke have warred
against those principles fruitlessy, and
Van Dyke might profit by their failure.
What giants could not defeat, pigmies
should not attempt. Van Dyke should
remember that "Pigmies are pigmies
still, though perched OIL Alps"
Men of Van Dykes stripe may ignore
principles, but they make great mistake
when they judge others by themselves;
-hatteriDg as the comparison may be to
them it it unjust to others. All men,
permit US to observe, Senator Van Dyke,
are not weak, vain, venal and unprinci-
pled-ready to Join or bctray aparty,
embrace or reject principle, for office.
The resolutions, with bombastic Cervor
and fictitious patriotism, denounce and
ignore parties; and yet they were intro.
duced by and received the support of
prominent and ardent members of a secret. /
Oath'bOund political party! If Van
Dyke was made the innocent instrument
OF that party we pity his ignorance if
he acted knowingly, we detest his dupli-
city. He is either an object of commise-
ration or Of something less respectable. 3

1.-THE OLD UNION AND THE NEW.

Speaking for ourselves, we can honestly say
that for that old Union which was kept in ex-
stence BY Southern menaces and Northern
concessions, We have no regrets and no wish
for its reconstruction. Who wants any Union
which can only be preserved by systematic
wrong and organized political 6Iunders? Who
wants any CnlOu which is nothing but a sen.
tlment to lacker Fourth Of July Orations with
al? Who wants to see repeated in the next
quarter of century, the trials, tOrments, in-
suits and embarrassmentS to which we have
already been subjeSse3; aud especially, this
continually impending and always convenient
threat of treason, whenever an ObuoXi0us poll
cy is to be forced, in the interest OF Slavery,
upon us-wnu wants to see this restored to its
old and magical p0tency-inIinIidatiug the
weak, Overpersuadng the peaceful, seducing
the honest and the honorable, making mere
heatbenlsh tumble of our Christianity, and
mere temporary subteTfuge Of our laws! Who
wants -UuiOn to be maintained only at the
capricous will Of South Carolina aristocracy
"a Union which we are bound TO respect, but
which Shareholders are chartered to disregard
at sovereign pleasure?- Union, that the man
owning Ogarchy may crawl comfortably
along 10 the fat slime Of its Incidence and in
Justice, while we keep watch and ward, with
ObsequiOus fidelity, over its lazy interests and
submit without murmur to its whim sicallties
of sel6shness or passion"
Commenting upon the above the Alba
ny ArguS pertinently remarks: " If any
man is worthy of being pronounced a
traitor, and deserving of the halter, it is
the writer of the article from which we
have quoted. And yet in the face of this
unblushing jubilation, over what it be-
lieves Enormously we hOpe) the downfall
of the Union, the Tribune men are allowed
to 60 on with their treason, while honest
patriots are sent to a military fortress, for
daring to differ from Republican Admin
istration." What seceSsioniSt has preach
ed ranker treason than is contained in the
extract from the Tribune? Why is it
permitted thus to denounce the Union the
patriots and sages Of the Revolution form
ed, with impunity2 Is the Administration
afraid to deal justly with the traitor, sim
ply because he is q Republican, Are
Republicans privileged to say and do as
they please What has the Union and
BuLLetin and their satellites to say with
respect to the treason of the Tribune?
