The LEoTURE.-There was good house
st Brainard's Hall last evening to listen to
Mr.. Tasistro's lecture en- the Giants and
Pigmiss Of America" The lecture was a
polished and times eloquent effort, deliver
ed without notes, and was interesting, al
though much of it, pertaining to such men as
Clay, Webster, Jackson, Calhoun, Benton
and others, whom he placed in the category
Of /" Giants, !" was necessarily far from new.
He intsrspersed his notices of these men with
characteristic anecdotes of them, which gave
spice to the lecture. There was a degree of
ostentation in the way in which the speaker
managed to introduce himself into all the
historic scenes and among all the Giant" +"
whom he so graphically and eloquently de-
scribed. It was pardonsble, perhaps, for if
one has mingled with the great men Of the
past it is hardly to be expected he will con-
eeaI the fact. The "Pigmies of America
were not mentioned by name, and indeed
very little reference was made to them. The
speaker rather left it to be inferred that the
"Giants" " have all departed this life, and
that none but i" Pigmies" occupy their places.

Tnese gentlemen give the history of certain
ingredients Of their article for over,twO hun
dred years-showing that through all changes
of the medical profession and its praetition-
ers, strength, cOmposure and cheerfulness
have been derived from these sources. DR..
Woods in the Washington Hospitals informed
me that one patient was fast sinking and
crazy, and had not slept an hour for two
weeks, until the Plantation Bitters came to
his knowledge, when one days trial gave
him nights rest, and he was fast recover
ing. I am surprised our Government has
not equalled Jefferson Davis in energy, and
adopted this invaluable article in all our
hospitals. The weak soldiers cling to it like
a brother. As a lay member, can bear
witness it is good to take" and affords
more energy and life than anything I ever
tried. Success to the Plantation Bitters.

The Battle for the Constitution.

Hon. w. A. Richardson, than whom truel
patriot does not exist on the subject of his decli-
nation of the Office Of Brgadier General. tender
ed him by the President, says: "The greatest
battle for constitutional liberty is to be fought in
Congress. and before the people," The rebel
lion can be crushed by the strong power of the
people sustaining the arm OF the Government
There is greater battle than that TO be fought
The hosts OF the enemy are collecting in force TO
assault the strongholds OF the Constitution. Even
now the attack is made. The Summers, the Love
joys, the Chambers are mershaling their troops
and the van guard has already opened fire upon
the constitutional bulwarks.
Richardson was right when he said the great
est battle was to be fought in Congress and be-
fore the people," The party in power, exercising
that power to consummate a long cherished plan
for war upon Southern Institutions, like the
British government, s,ize upon this season Of the
nations great calamity, as the time when it can
be accomplished, and trampling upon legal and
constitutional right, and treating the Constitution
itself as ssan agreement with death and a cove
nant with hell" propose to prosecute their
schemes to bad success. at whatever hazard.
Congressional enactments are 10 be the method

This will give them color of law for future pro
ceedings. If tier views in this matter can be
carried out in Congress. it gives this clan Of
conspirators the command of the army and navy
and who doubts that the whole immense powel
which they thus could WELD, would be exerted tc

a storv bv senator DooIittIe.

In speech few days since Senator DooLIrrLE
repeated very old story of Judge CoLLANER.
There is moral in it rather damaging to the Re
publican party, and since the Republican papers
Of this State do not seem inclined to publish it,
we copy:
| have been informed that la 1913 distin-
guished gentleman of Vermont was elected to
Congress, and one of his neighbcrs, well-to-do
farmer. came TO pay his respects TO him before he
left for Washington, and SAYS he: Judge. when
you get to Washington. wish you would take
hold of this negro question and have it disposed
of Let US have slavery abolished and no more
said about it," well, said the Judge, Il sup
pose many of those people who hold slaves have
paid money for them. Perhaps you think IL
would be no more than just that they should
have some compensation" "Well, yes" says
the farmer, Il think l would stand NV share of
the tax for that" "But," said the Judge. There
is another thing. If they are emancipated, it is
an important question, what shall be done with
theml There must be some place for them TO
live. Perhaps you would think it fair that we
should take our share of themf" "Well, about
how many would that bel" "Well. our share
would be about one to every six whites. or about
500 for the town of Woodstock" What" said
the farmer, 800 negroes in Woodstock. ! will
bid you good evening, Judge" He started of,
but as he got on his horse be turned around and
said: Judge, you need not do anything more
about the negro business on my account"

The massachusetss Convention.

We complete to day the publication Of sketch
of the Massachusetts Convention which ratified
the United States Constitution. This abridge-
ment of the long and interesting debates will
serve to show those who have read it what were
the points of special difficulty in forming Union
of the States, perhaps quite as well as would a
sketch of the Federal Convention ITSELF 1t was
manifest that no Union could be had so long as
any one State insisted on the adoption of its in
stitutons for all the country, and it was only by
yielding one and another desire by one and an
other State that Union of all was at last
effected. There were some points in this Massa
chusetts Convention worthy of special notice in
our own time. Some radical men in that State
opposed Washington because of his views on
slavery, and one manin the Convention expressed
the opinion that Washington was deprecated
fifty per cent. in his estimation by the fact of his
owning slaves. 1t will also be remarked by
readers of this debate that there was an con to
Richmond party in revolutionary times, and
that Washington was attacked, as Mcclellan is
now attacked, for not moving on when the out
cry of certain politicians demanded it. The ma
ton has cause to be grateful the writer OF this
abridgement remarks, that a Union was formed
with shareholders like Washington, and also it is
to be remembered now with devout thanks that
he was able to resist the "h0unding on" of the
radical men in his time, and he was not deposed
from his command for offending them by his re
fusal
We would be glad to see, in these times,
cheap edition of the Madison papers, relating to
the Federal Convention. 1t would be a most de-
sirable work to place in the hands of the people
now, and we suggest it for the benefit of any en-
terprsing publisher. 1t is very important that
tie spirit of the trainers of the Constitution should
be revived among us. A new ism has been late
ly introduced into American politics. 1t NAV be
styled unty-ism in opposition to the Union. The
proposal to make the nation homogeneous, and
the principle is that the Union can only be rerma
nent as the nation becomes a unit in Institutions
and opinions. The next step would lead US to
one religion, and the same men would demand
that We all worship God alike. They viii argue
that Protestants and Catholics can not unite in
Government unless they make coalescing insti-
tuition in their religion. Politically, this new dog
ma tends to a consolidated government with
despotic head. Radicaism demands a universal
concession to itself, a bowing down of all men to
its tenents. This doctrine is taught abundantly
by imported Republicans from Europe. 1t was
laid down by Carl Schurz two weeks ago and APP
plauded by his audience. The best refutation it
could have would be study of the debates in
the Federal Convention where the Union was
formed on the grand foundation of mutual con-
cessions.-JOur. OF Com
