A Looking-Glass for Dough-faces.

Heretofore men have seemed to take pride,
when in the South, in denouncing New Eng
land, and in sneering at the land in which
were buried the bones of their fathers. Men
who would most severely denounce the North,
and its free institutions, it has sometimes
seemed, were most highly prizedto take charge
Of enterprises depending for success upon
Northern patronage. The man who wouldn't
denounce "abolitionists,' and show willing
ness to aid in hanging them, by many has not
been deemed safe man TO put in charge of
freighting ship, and so it has come about that
a virtual premium has been paid to men who
would go South and misrepresent the North,
and fan the flame of sectional hate. To all
such men and their employers, if they are not
already cured OF their singular folly-to call it
by no harsher name-we commend the follow
ing, which we cut from Southern paper, the
the New Orleans Delta of recent date 1t is
a looking-glass in which many men may see
their own faces.
Miserable hallucination, that can lead son
of New England, nurtured in her institutions,
taught in her schools, his mothers memory
still remaining in his heart, transferring him
self to Southern soil, to forget all his early les
SONS, and to ape the Southerner i'm his ex-
IRENE Southern vices-the Northerner being
1.-THE extremer of the two. Is there any cpl
tibet of contempt that is sufficient to character
ize the mean, miserable scoundrel? Even that
Southerner he apes despises the contemplate
trickster. That Southern mans motives. at
least, cannot be doubted. His prejudices, his
quick feelings, his fears for the peculiar South
ern institution, may have gol the better of his
judgment; but for the Northern man ,cih en-
IRENE Southern princjptes-d Secessionist-
hanging is too good for such a .telio,c.

fell upon his mortal tympanum, was the voice
Of his sympathising yet memorable execution

And with the other fling il at thy face
Than bear so low a sail, TO strike to thee"

To answer twenty thousand such as you"
As the editorial spirit, emancipated by one
flourish of the giants mighty sabre, was pass

Republican Meetlng in Washing

fstAsHINGToN, July 12.-Au adjourned

which Roscoe Conkling said he was vii.
ling to learn party tactics from the Demo-
Gratis, who when they meet to discuss
questions involving differences of opinion,
do not throw open their doors to the pub
lie he did not care who came TO their
aid. The Republicans being in the majori-
ty will be held responsible by the country.
Representative 0lin of New York, said
that if every thing done here was TO be
spread before the public, be it so, let all
the world know it, and also all who serve
both God and Mammon.
Mr. Colfax of Indiana. gave a sudden
turn to the discussion by submitting a
resolution inviting all loyal men in this
hour of our couDtrys peril to put down
those in arms against the Government, to
punish treason with severity, 30. The res
olution was received with applause.
Mr.. Stevens of Pa thought that before
they acted on this resolution they should
have the address which the COMMITTEES were
prepared to report. This might supercede-
the necessity of the passage of such res
olution.
Mr.. Colfax then Withdrew for the present.
After further proceeding the Chairman, DR..
Sherman, of New York, put the question,
which was carried, to respectfully request
all those not members of Congress TO re-
tire. The spectators then withdrew.
The address as prepared by Mr.. Bingham
was read. 1t was an elaborate argument,
referring. among other things, to several
acts of the present Congress.
Mr.. Colfax then offered the following
resolution, as substitute.
ResOtvtd, That we hold it TO be the duty
of all loyal men to stand by the Union in
this hour of its trial; to unite their hearts
and hands in earnest and patriotic efforts
for its maintenance against lhose who are
in arms against it (; to sustain with deter
mined resolution our patriotic President
and his Administration to their most ener-
getic efforts for the prosecution of the war
enemies, at home or abroad; to punish
traitors and treason with fitting severity,
and to SO crush the present wicked and
causeless rebellion; that no flag of dis
union shall ever again be raised over any
portion of the Republic that to this end
we invite the cooperation of all men who
love their country, in the endeavor so re-
kindle throughout all the States, such pat
riotic fire as shall utterly consume all who
strike at the Union of our fathers, aud all
who sympathize with their treason or pail
late their guilt.
After an animated debate, the resolution
was adopted as substitute for the address,
with but few dissenting votes.
