Weudell Phillips will not take the
Oath,
Tie Springfield (Mass.) Republican says

Tie Springfield (Mass-) Republican says
upon this subject of oaths. that
Nobody expects Wendell Phillips or his
adherents TO enlist or 10 help the country in
any way, or TO DO any ihing but abuse and
insult those who are laboring aud dying in
its defense. The true way to silence these
malignapts is to present to them the oath Of
allegiance. They won't take it-they will
deny that they are citizens of the United
States. They merely live on the soil but
are voluntary aliens to the Government
And We. these regulators of the Constitu
ton undertake to dictate to patriotic men
how the Constitution is to be defended
Shame on them!''
1t would be a good thing to try the oath
on Wendell. II he Won't take it let him
leave the country. He is making villainous
speeches calculated to discourage enlist
ments. stir up sedition and destroy conf
dence in the Government and those who are
responsible for its maintenance as the agents
of the people. He is doing in the East
what Vallandig ham, Old. Charlie, Voor-
hees and Richardson are doing in the West,
and has more ability than the whole crew
of Butternuts. Now, if he is loyal, let him
take the oath. or forever after hold his
peace. under penalty of a visit to Fort War
rem. Justice should always be even handed.

Depar,ure OF the sixty Ninth.

Early on Monday Morning. orders we're
received By Col. Bickle from the Adjuiant
General Of the State. for the 69th regiment
to report at Indiana polis for immediate du-
~. Long before 10 O'Clock the boys were
in readiness 10 leave: most of them having
at an earlier hour taken leave Of their fami-
lies and friends. The difficulty Of obtaining
transportation, delayed their departure until
a late hour in the evening.
AT half past five o'clock p. n. the regi
ment headed by Mitchell's Band left Camp
Wayne for the depot, passing on their way
through several of the principal streets in
order to pay a final salute TO the friends
they left behind them. With the precision of
old troops. did these brave boys marc b
along. and the eye could dete ct in the va
rious ranks among the new levies, occasion
ally one who had been baptised in the fire
and blood" of the three months service as
we'll as the service Of q later date. There
were those present in those solid ranks,
who could tell of the carnage and the re-
treat at Bulls Run--There were those who
bad been at the bloody sacrifice at Balls
Bluff and there. we're those who had partici-
pated at Shiloh and Donelson-going out
again to battle for the right, with the same
brave hearts and the same stern resolution
which had stamped them as American sold
iers. Jimmy. the pet drummer boy of
Cochrans brave N. Y. 69,h came marching
along. the pet Of the regiment. but only a
few weeks from that noble charitable in :
sti,ution the childrens Aid Society, and
now the gallant drummer boy of the new
69;h. Clouds Of dust marked the route of
the regiment almost whitening their nea,
blue uniforms. AS they neared the depo,
crowds Of ladies and children filled the
square. forming almost solid phalanx. Men
too, were there, but most OF them brave pa
triotic men-Men who we're to wear the
ready enlisted in the service of the country.
1t was long after six O'Clock before the
various companies Of the Goth. filed off to
rest themselves on the commons, and to ex-
chan. greetings with their friends. Col.
Bickle made them brief speech which was
loudly cheered, after with the long line of
cars were reported ready, and the boys soon
filled them. About O'Clock p NJ the
first train comprising the right wing of
the regimen; departed amid the cheers Of
the assembled thousands, followed at mid
night by the remainder of the boys pho de-
parted with cheers and high hopes for the
future. Slowly and sadly did the crowd
return to their homes. and many silent
prayer was offered for the safety Of our
69M-mauy a couch baptised iu tears-ma
brothers who had gone out from among us
to do battle ior the right.

B$ There is much anxiety in England
respecting the fate OF Canada after the
present war is over. 1t is feared that the
Americans, with large armies under their
control. will be tempted to throw them
across the lakes and take possession of the
British dominions to the north of u.s. 1t is
idle to speculate as to what may be done re.
speeding Canada. but one thing is very GER
tain. that strenuous effort, by negotiation
Of course, will be made to get possession CT
the Bahamas. These islands have given us
q world of trouble during the present war.
Nassau has been the headquarters of British
contraband trade. and nearly all the YES
sells that run the blockade hail from tina,
place. In the event of q war with England
the possession Of these islands. so near our
shores. would give the enemy an immense
advantage to ipjure our commerce. Flu
ture political platforms may yet contain a
plank respecting the necessity Of "annexiny

An Indiana Clergyman on Mobs


Major Robinson of Evansville, Indiana,
attempted to make q Union Speech last
Saturday evening. The choice spirits Of
the conservative" population who are fol-
lowers of Judge Law. attempted 10 carry
out his programme of bloody revolution at

down the speaker. and rendered it impossi-
bic for him to be heard. We give the re-
port of the proceedings after this stage from
the Evansville Journal:
Rev. Mr.. White then stepped on to the
platform and remarked that perhaps there
was no man in the house who differed more
radically With Maj r Robinson than him
self, but he stood there an advocate and de-
fender of free speech, and if necessary be

of the right of free speech with his own

The Duty OF THE HoUR.-Among the
last glorious sentiments delivered by the
patriotic Stephen A. Douglas was this
"The conspiracy to break up the Uuion is
fact now known to all. Armies are being
raised, and war levied to accomplish it.
There can be but two sides to the contro
versy. Every man mus, be on the side Of
the United Staes or against it There can
be no neutrals in this war. There can be
none but Patriots and Traitors" This
