IL has become the general theme OF di.cns-
sion over the District that the friends ofNr.
NoonIfrEs. after making the most stupcn- /
dous efforts 70 honor him with public re
ceptson. have most signally failed. But Why
was there failureY Why were there no
laasicl-no cannonl-no supper!--no crowdl
no enthusiasm in the whole arrangement
Il must be ascribed 10 the fact that the
t" Young Caief' misrepresented the District
ard comes back an object Of scorn to is
loyal people
IL viii be reoolleetsd that he made a
speech az Green Castle on the 10 OF April,

phrase 80 make lsar Hfon fke Sesfh" tie
could have meant nothing but that lac could
not aid the Administration 60 crush rebel
lion to is authority. That is the orly fair
construction TO be put upon his language. Tie
knew a. did every man. that ne were in the
midst Of civil war: that forts had been
taken by rebels and traitors. and that The
Federal arsenals had been robbed OF their
implements Of war. TO arm men To destroy
the very Government he had sworn - sup.
port But under such circumstances be al
legged that he would nepsr aid the Govern
msnt IN crushing out the rebellion; or, in
other words, he did not care Il the rebels did
overthrow the Government That i the
spirit Of his declaration. as quoted above
He has persstently adhered 20 this declare

will not likely support a man for Congress

,ives Of their pay for lighting In defence OF
their country. They viii not celebrate his
return with the firing OF cannon, and by pro-
cessions, marching to the music Of the In

thing. He has done naugh, but abuse and
ind fault with the Administration. since he

posed revenue and tax bills. in all ways. and
has advocated the doctrine that the Union
should perish rather than slavery. The fol
lowing quotation Is taken from his speech in
the House. on tho 10th CT January.
