SPEECH.

hITHi ~ Nf EECF.
We need no apology for the publ
cation of this speech, except, the occa-
sion that drew it out. the inauguration
of a new era In American politics. In
its perusal our readers will bear in mind
that Senator Bright was araigned be-
fore the Senate as "a traitor, that he
was tried as "a traitor condemned and
expelled as "a traitor" that afterwards
the patriots ? having performed this
noble, this chivarlic, this heroic, this
patriotic deed ? permitted him as "a
tried, convicted and condemned traitor
to present his claim for services as a
Senator of the U. S., and without in
terposing a word Of objection, allowed
him as "a traitor"'to draw from the U.
S. Treasury the last cent Of his COM
ppnsation as 4 Senator, even allowing
him to depart without an arrest for the
crime Of treason Is any thing more
needed to shon the utter hypocrisy and
the groundless pretension of patriot
ism, the arbitrary. unjust and partizan
conduct of the Senate in this expulsion?
The n. Y, and Chicago Tribunes
the Milwaukee Free Democrat the
n. Y, Independent and every other
staunch republican paper, either as orig
inal, or aHNrovinsly published articles
Cavoring sccession,-a thing Senator
Bright, no Northern democrat, or dem
ocratic press ever did; the .Sectv., Of
State at his own house entertained and
cajolea the rebel commissioners long
after Bright wrote his letter, and Min
lister Harvey an attoche o. the n. Y.
Tribune communicated to the rebels
information that the Federal Govern
ment designed provisioning and rein
forcing Fort Sumter yet he for his
treason was rewarded with foreign
appointment.

A correspondent of the Fayette Co

A correspondent of the Fayette Co.
Pioneer, writing from the Capital for
that paper, in regard to the vacancies
in the Senate, and the neglect of Gov
Kirkwood in not having those 'vacan-
cies legally filled at the general election
says
"This places the Governor in the
unpleasant position, through negligence
or failure to issue writs. of having Gre
ated FIVE vacancies in the Senate"
One of these vacancies were in this
district, and to fill it, costs the people
of the district not less than 81, 900, and
very few attended the polls at that. In
this district the Gov, knew when he
commissioned Powers as Captain, and
he accepted the position, a vacancy was
created; why did he not then immedi-
ately issue his proclamation and permit
the vacancy to be filled at the general,
instead Of d special election ?

Where the AhoIjsion.Rcpub!ic lean
LEADERS stand Now.

The abolition republican leaders do
not want the old Union restored, be-
cause restoration will he fatal to the
domination of their party. The New
York Tribune says this boldly. 1t
argues that their party would have no
strength in the South, and that high
taxes and other accommodating causes
preiudicial to it would throw enough Of
the North against it, cooperating with
the South. to overthrow it. 1t wants
no such Union as this. 1t wants no
Union in which there will be any pos
sibility of the Democratic party return
ing to power. In short. it objects to
the South on any other terms than that
it shall be aboitionized.
We have never doubted that to this
complexion abolitionism would core. 1t
is the same attitude towards the prose
cution of the war that the same same
party held towards the question of conf
cession and compromise to avoid war
Concession and compr omise, said the
lead ers, will be fatal to the republican
party, and it was on this ground that
they moved heaven, earth and SCI, to
make abortive all efforts in Congress
and in the memorable Peace Conven
ton to effect compromise. "Unless we
can block the wheels of this convention, ,;
wrote a prominent republican Senator,
concerning the Peace Conventlon, "the
consequence Of it's action will block the
wheels Of the republican party"
The sole question with the abolition
republican leaders in the war is, then,
the salvation Of the republican party.
The war is not to bring the South back
to obedience to the constitution, but to
subjugate it and abolitionize ito At:
ricanize it, for that is what the eman.
cipatiou Of four millions Of slaves viii
do to it.
Happily they have not the manage
ment of the war. Happily the five
hundred thousand democrats who are
soldiers in the war are as yet fighting
for the salvation of the Union and not
for the salvation Of the republican
party.
We know not whether it would moder,
ate the zeal of the abolition-republican
leaders to know that just so soon as the
five hundred thousand democratic sol
diers in the war should be called upon
to fight for the salvation OF the repuli
can party, instead Of the salvation Of
the Union, they would cease to fight
at all.
One thing in this connection is be
coming more and more apparent, and
that is. that the same reasons which in
the South require that the old secession
and disunion leaders should be driven
into ol,scurity, in the north require
that the like disposition should be made
of the neutrality-suspicious. leaders. II
is absolutely essential to the return OF
the South to loyalty that there shall be
an end Of all the men in that section

THE BLOCKADE lNEFFECUiLi!

Expeuence has demonstrated
to the little world of New Oregon
that the blockade is partially IN
ettectual. Those familiar with
the history of the British Embar-
60 and the Milan decree, both pa
per blockadcs, know how distaste
ful they were to civilized nations:
cur nation feeling the full force
Of which, induced it to resort to
the stone blockade. Notwith-
standing, the blockade is not as
fully respected as it should be by
the secession privateers and the
laws and the comfy of nations.
In this section of Iowa block
ade was commenced on Sunday
last that has been 50 far as our
town is concerned partially etFec-
tual, though not absolutely and
respectfully observed by our citi-
zcns, though it appears to be re-
spectcd to its fullest extent by the
United States and its agents. Pri-
or to last Sunday the snow on a
level here was about twentv-three
inches, but by a little furry O.
that day it became about one third
deeper. This Of course PARTIAL,
blockaded our town, but our peo-
pie determined that,
No pent up Utica shall contract our powers

score of teams and broke ont thu

serving the blockade. have not
visited our town with the mail
since our last issue, and it is tho'l
by men qualified to Judge in such
matters, that with careful use we
have snow enough to last for ali
practical purposes till the middle
of May, and that as against the
mail. we are efectually blockaded
for that time.
So far as our town is concerned, we
care but little ifit be 50; for we have a
suGiciency Of means and sources for ali
late and reliable news( though we have
been uuable to make them available Oh
50 short notice. to dispense with mails
entirely; but as to McGregor and the
river towns, exposed as they are, to
railroad connection, it would work an
irreparable injury TO deprive them Of a
mail from the west. We shall patient.
ly await the working Of al inscrutab}e
providence in breaking the blockade
and the arrival Of the mail.
P.S. AS we get ready to go to
press the mail heayes in sight.

CONFISCiTION.

CONfISC4TION
In as much as it appears to be IA
vorite scheme just now with Sumner,
and abolitionists Of that ilk to contiscate
the property of rebels. it is we'll 10 look
at the fundamental principles of our
government as lald down and limited by
the Constitution, to ascertain how far
that power extends. Article 3rd Sec.
3rd Of the constitution reads as follows:
THE Congress shall have power to de.
clare the punishment of treason, but no
attainder Of treason shall work corrup-
ton Of blood, or forfeiture. except du-
ring the life of the person attainted."
Now the plain import Of this is, if
property belonging to these attainted FIR
treason is coniscatea to the government
1t must restore every dollar OF it to the
legal heirs Of those attainted as soon as
the condemned culprit passes from the
stage of life. No corruption of blood is
or can be wrought by the conviction of
any person of treason, and no forfeiture
ofproperty does or can iaure to the
government under any law in the power
of Congress to pass Except during the
life Of the person attainted.' Nor can
the South be constitutionally reached in
the way of taxation beyond their proper
ton for the only power given to Con-
yress for that purpose is contained in
clause 3rd, Sec. Ind Art. LIST of that
instrument and provides that "Repre-
sentatives aud taxation shall be appor-
toned among the several States which
may be included within this union. ac-
cor|ing to their respective numbers, "
etc. which power Of Congress is still
further restrained by Section 2nd Art.
Eth providing that 'the citizens Of each
State shall he entitled to all privileges
and immunities of citizens in the seve-
raj States" which the courts construe
as having direct reference to equaliza-
ton of taxes among the states.
We propose now to look at the folly
Of Sumner and his abolition allies in
their unconstitutional scheme to reduce
the South to a condition of subiugated
provinces or territories. It's effects
will be, unless we depart from the
former policy Of the government in es
tablishing territorial governments, for
Congress to provide the means for de-
fraying their expenses while in a ter
ritorial condition, thus entirely relieve
ing their people from taxation. Besides
there is no express warrant in the con-
stitution for apportioning taxes excep;
''on,ong the States" We are aware
that ma ~ very worthy men contend
that the power of Congress over the
Territory of the United States is su,
preme, which does not extend to
the property Of persons residing there
in, except by confscation; which as we
have seen ia limited to the life Of the
person convicted of crime.
Thus it will be seen that the policy
of Senator Sumner will result in injury
to the people of the loyal states, scarse-
ly exceeded by the monstrou3 folly Of
the same class of politicians in rejecting
the action of the Peace Convention, and
it's proffers of compromise to prevent a
war. 1t is proposition to overthrow
the Constitution of the U. S., and in it's
place set up another and different
form of governuent.
