DON'T RUIN THE POOR MANS CHARACTER
A s X Z II e. II :

"What causes such q cloud upon your brow
this morning, Mr. Babcock r. asked Mrs. B,
as her usually placid husband turned from his
scarcely tasted breakfast and looked RloOmily
into the fire, as if seeking to find consolation
in its varying glow.
al hardly know how to tell you Jane, but
as you must know it, l suppose the sooner the
better
"What can have happened 2" calculated
the cup which she was at that instant raising
TO her lips
"Dont turn 80 pale, my DEAR" said Mr.. b.
as if waksned from painful dream by the
sight OF his partners agitation. had no
intention Of alarming you thus, and there ID
no real cause for it. We certainly have reason
for depression in the fact that Mr. Griswold,
whom / made my confidential clerk, and trust
ed almost as myself, should abuse his trust, and
appropriate my funds to his own use, occasion
ing me much Inconvenience and much loss; but,
indeed love- said he, drawing her to his side,
athousand dollars need not make you tremble. /"
And how much will you lose by him 2"
said Mrs. b.; true wife's anxiety for her hus-
bands perplexities taking the place Of all 9TH
or feelings.
"Not much, my dear. Fortunately tho first

rs ever was, and having NO false pride in the
matter, We will put it of year longer, aad
thus prevent your feeling the Inconvenience.
But now am easy about you, I must ask
what you intend to do with Mr.. Griswoid. I
am cory for him and his young wife, too, 10
gentle and 90 pretty!"
Stop Jane, or You will let your compassion
for them run away with your memory Of what
is due TO society. If this il lightly passed over,
he may do the same thing again, and thus run
q course Of vice which must end in his utter
ruin r..
aAnd II you expose him will not that ruin

that il 10 his first offence, and losing HE situ-

The letter dropped from the neryeless hand
which had held it. The reproaches it con-

guided by the only rule of right! Who can
answer for the consequences of their slightest

Can be do it in fact This question touches
the expediency of the measure, and this leave
to him. But it does not touch bis military
right to threaten it. and do it If he can.
Judge Curtis speaks much and eioquently of
the Presidents right to inflict - penalty" and
punishment, AMI the rights OF the rebe's to
the protection OF the law.
Rebellion has no lights If rebellion means
anything it means the Remuneration and des.
truction of all law And therot re it is ac-
cursed before God and man
No rebel has any right, regarl to which
should weaken or obstruct any military measure
needed to sabdue the rebellion.
Judge Curtis's argument would give the Con-
sttution and the law to the rebels, as their
sword to smtc with and their shield to save
them, and leave it to us only as a feticr.
Then he tells US the innocent must suh-r
with the guilty. This is true, and it is sad.
Bat when the mingled fires and hail of Gods
vengeance run along The ground, they pursue
no devious path that they may leave the homes
of the innocent unframed for when national
sins bring national calamtles, the innocent suf-
fer with the guilty. This may be one of the
mysteries of Providence; it is, at all events, Il
fact. And what has been will be.

Cambridge,

At a recent Union meeting, in New York city,
at which Col. Hamilton, of Texas, Rev. Mr..
Carter, OF Tennessee, and other staunch South
ern Union men were present, the following res
olutions, adopted by these expatriated South
ern loyalis,s, were read and enthusiastically APP
proved
Whereas, The political leaders Of the Slave
States, under the administration Of James Bu-
chanan, without cause or Lawful authority con-
spired and levied war to overthrow the Govern
ment Of the United States, and establish upon
its ruin an oligarchy, whose foundation and
chief cornerstone is The perpetual bondage OF
race. And
Whereas, The present Chief Magistrate is
using all constitutional means to put down this
rebellion, restore peace to the country and
bring the leaders OF this unparalleled treason
against free institutions to conIjgn punishment,
therefore,
lst. Rcso'red, That we regard the ConGsca.

camation as eminently just aud constitutional
measures, which should be sternly enforced

3d. Reso|ced That any terms of comprom SC

until the Stars ana Stri pes wave triumphantly

A CIRCULAR To AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVES,
ABROAD.
The following circular from Secretary Sew
ard. which is gI' en- to the public IN the french
journals. bears the same date as the Presideh'
Emancipation Proclamation:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON,
September, %, 1867
GENTLEMEN You will receive by the mail
which will carry you this dspatch evidence
which will convince you that the aggressive
movement Of the rebels against the States re-
naming faithful to the MON Is arrested, ana
that the forces Of the Union, strengthened ana
terminated are again ready 10 undertake
campaign on a vast scale. If you consult the
newspapers, you will easily perceive that the
financial resources of the instruction decline
rapidly, and that the means OF raising troops
are Exhausted.
On the other side you will see that the fnan-
cial situation of the country is good, and that
the call for fresh troops, without which the
material force of the nation would be seriously
crippled, is being promptly responded to.
/ have already Informed our representatives
abroad Of the approach of change IN the social
organization o. the rebel States. This change
apparent.
In the opinion of the President the moment
has come to place the great fact more clearly
before the people of the rebel States, and TO
make them understand that if these States per-
slst in imposing upon the country the choice be-
tween the dissolution of this Government, at
once necessary and beneficial, and the abolition
of Slavery, it is the Union, and not Slavery that
must be maintained and saved With this OBJ
Ict, the President is about to publish a Procla-
nation, in which he announces that Slavery
will no niger be recognized IN any of the States
which shall be in rebellion on the first of Janu
airy next. While all the good and wise men of
all countries will recognize this measure as n
Just and proper military act, intended to deliver
the country from terrible civil war, they will
recognize at the same time the mod ration
and magnamimity with which the Government
proceeds in matter 50 sOiem and important.
am gentlemen, your obedient servant,
WILLI.M II SEWARD.
