ticed away from their masters with the app
probation Of this party, aud mobs we're
raised in Northern cities to prevent their
return. wha, reason had the South to be-
lieye that any other guarantee Of the Con-
slitution would be respected, after this
party found itself powerful enough to dis
regard it? A party that would openly yio-
late the compact in resisting the surrender
Of fugliyes would. with equal alacrity, vi

The Republican party has justified the
worst apprehensions and fulfilled the dark
est predictions Of its political opponents.
1t was toreto!d that the triumph Of party
holdingits principles would lead to disun-
ion and bloody civil war. its leaders
secuted the idea, and expressed their pre-
ference Of abolition to the Union. Not
that love the Union less" said Mr.. Sum
ner, "but freedom more, do now, plead
ing this great cause, insist that freedom, at
all hazards, shall be preserved. God for
bid that for The sake Of the Union we should
sacrifice the very things for which the
Union was made" The Republican party
is faithful 10 this sentiment. Once in pow
er, it uses its power to- abolish slavery in
the Southern States, just as lis opponents
predict il would. Setting out in its career
under the banner of the higher law, il has
treated the Constitution as rope Of sand.
Ii has not only violated it in pursuit of its
original abolition scheme, but also IN its
paper legal tender. its suspension of the
habeas corpus, its proclamation of martial
law, its interference with the freedom of
the press, its arbitrary arrests, its illegal
| searches, aud its refusals of trials to the
victims oi its tyranny. Notyranny can be
more odious than that Of uajasiiy which
submits to no constitutional restraint.

credit which our city banks 10 the last

amount in treasury notes at 73O interest
have just been delivered to the banks by
Mr.. Cisco, the Sub treasurer. They arc
found TO consist of 1889 separate ObligS.

to $5 900. BY careful measurement they
are ascertained to form "a column of notes

pcdition up the river As far as Islands % and

since the Louisville, accompanied by the
transports White Cloud and Satan, started
with the Sd Wisconsin regiment from Hele-

Irhe Southern dispatch concerning the de-
s,ruction of the Arkansas was dated at Rich

The Balisiii prints report that Breckin-
ridge was attacked and captured at Baton
Rouge las, Wednesday. IL is considered not
improbable.
Rebel authority reports that Breckinridge
attacked Baton Rouge on Tuesday morning

loss. Gen. Clark OF Mississippi and Col.
Thomas Hunt Of Kentucky were killed. The
rcpulsc is laid to the ram Arkansas, which
failed 10 come to time. On the afternoon oil

The battle Of Saturday, 9th, is one Of the
most important Of the war. not merely on
accouu, Of the desperate yalor and unfalter-
ing discipline displayed by our troops, tho
obstinacy Of the contest and the heavy loss
on both sides, but because Of its important
effect upon the campaign, OF which it forms
part.
The campaign on the part Of jackson is

jackson attempted BY = feint upon Madi-
