Who do They Mean?

Wickliffe made speech before the
Bright Democratic convention at Indian
spolis in Junc last, declaring his desire to
hang the leading traitors of the South and
added:-"BM whiie doing that I ,could ike
to haze for every one Of then, (Ms tra;tors) an
Abolaionia upon the othe, end Of the rope." I"
VIM. A. Richardson, Of Illinois. also
made speech in the same convention in
which he said:-"I hare been compelled to
eonclade that these conservative Republicans
and AJolitionists are brothers. One is Just
as bad as tie other. or if there Is any differ
ence, It is in }avor Of the AJolfionists."
Before said convention adjourned. the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted si of
/ IRE diced. That the Democracy Of Indiana ten
der to Hon. Ca. Wlckliffc, Hon. John 5. Carlisle
and Hon. w. A. Richardson, their sincere thanks
for the Sta.esmanike and patriotic speeches deliy-
cred to them this day."
Now the question is who are the above
denunciations intended to hit? To whom
are they directed? The editor of the
Southern Literary Messenger. whose wri-
tings were quoted as great aud convincing
truths by the Democratic papers in the
North, in the canvass of 1856 and 1860,
says:
"An abolitionist is a man who does not love
SLAYER, for its own sake, rs Divine institution
who does not worship ii as the corner stone of civ
liberty; who does adore it the only possible
social condition on which permanent Republican
Government can be erected; and who does not, II
his nmost soul, desire to see it extended and per
petuated over the whole Garth as a means Of human
reformation. second in dignity, importance and 81
credness to the religion of Christ. He who doe.
not love African Slavery with this love, is an Alb
olitionst."
The above opinion as to who are abo
litionists strikes the question squarely, ant
we commend its study to those traitor
who are bowling abolitionists at homes
men on every possible occasion.

Mr.. Packard, true to his craw-ishing
propensities. is already trying to wiggle
backwards out of the damning record we
published against him last week, wherein
it was proven conclusively that he was q
traitor at heart. and in speech, during the
session of the Legislature of 1861. Mr..
Packard doesn't try to defend the. .outra-
geous sentiments uttered by him and pub
ishec BY US last week. but says "the Ian
gusge was used before actual hosIilit
had commenced, and previous to the reb-
els firing on Ft. Sumter" That is, all
very true. but in the special session Of the
Legislature. gtier ,hostilities had already
commenced, Mr.. Polk offered the follow
ing resolution:
REseLvED, That il is impolitic and inexpedient 10
coerce by force Of arms seeding States" ~
Mr.. Cameron moved that this resolution
be tabled. The ayes and noes were called
and Mr.. Packard voted in the negative,
thereby endorsing the foul and traiterous
sentiments contained in the resolution
And yet Mr.. Packard nesc is good union
man; in. favor of rigorous prosecution OF
the war. DC.

Don't stop a moment to think, John,
Our country calis-then 60,
Don't fear for me or the babes, John,
I'll care for them, you know.
Leave the corn upon the stalk, John,
Potatoes in the hill,
And the pumpkins on the vine, John,
I'll gather them with a will.
Then take your gun and 60, John,
Yes, take your gun and go,
For Ruth can drive the oxen, John,
And can handle the hoe.
I've heard my grandsire tell, John,
He fought at Bunker Ril,)
He counted all, his life and wealth,
His country's of7ring still.
Would shame the brave old blood, John,
That flowed On Monmouth Plainf
No-take your gun and go, John,
Though l ne'er see you again.
The army's short of blankets, John,
Then take this heavy pair,
! spun and wove them when girl
And worked them with great care,
A rose in ev'ry corner, John.
And here's my name, you see,
On the cold ground they'll warmer feel,
Because they're made by me.
And, John-if God has willed it SO,
We ne'er shall meet again,
I'll do my best for the children, John,
In sorrow, want or pain.
On winter evenings I'll teach them, John,
All that learned at school,
And to love our country, keep her laws,
Obey the Savour's rule,
And now good-bye to you, John,
cannot say-Farewell,
Wen hope and pray for the best, John,
His goodness none can tell
May His arm be round about you, John,
To guard you night and day,
Be our beloved country's shield,
Til war shall pass away.
Then take your gun and 60, John,
Yes, take your gun and go,
For Ruth can drive the oxen, John,
And can handle the hoe.

A "REMINISCENCES OF IS4O.

A friend at the East has sent US the following
reminiscence of old times. For his qualification
and that Of many who had an early acquaintance
with Mr.. Hsrland. We cheerfully publish it,:
Some of the old citizens OF Detroit will re-
member the speech OF James A. Briggs, Esq, OF
Cleveland, Ohio, now of New York eity) at the
Whig mass convention in Detroit, in September,
ls4O In his speech, Mr.. Briggs said:
I'm my youth, in Bennington, Vermont, !
knew q young gentleman who was teaching
school in winter, and working in the harvest
fields in summer, to earn money to pay his way
through Williams College, in which he was a
student, ard from which he was graduated.
On commencement day." when a young stu
dent Of the graduating class concluded his ora
ton, the Hon. Geo. A. Briggs, (the late Govern 7
Briggs, Of Massachusetts,) a member OF the
House Of Representatives from Massachusetts,,
turned to gentleman and remarked, "if young
Howard lives, you will soon hear IRON him il,
November. hss Of this CoSgressional District ;S
you will make that prophecy true, and give Mr.
Briggs the pleasure OF taking by the hand, Jacot
NJ. Howard, as the Representative from the De-
troit District. He is worthy OF your support
and your confidence. He has unaided, and
alone, without wealth, without family influence
by the power Of his own vigorous and cultivated
mind, worked his way up and through life, te
the proud position he now occupies at the ba
OF Michigan, and before the people az candid
ate for place Of the highest trust and respOn
sbilty."
The thousands around tie stand, at the men
ton OF Mr.. Howard's name, cried out, "we wil
make that prophecy true" and they did, BY
electlng Mr.. Howard to Congress. Can th,
people Of Michigan do a better thing for them
selves than by placing Mr.. Howard in the Senate
of the United States? He will make Senate
OF whom any State may be proud. His vigorou
intellect-his strong common sense and practi
cal wisdom-and his ready and powerful talen
a. debater are needed there in this hour of ou
country's trial. "A. B.
