DEAN Sir: In reply to yours Of yester-
day l have to say that l supported all
the measures in the last Congress looking
to the giving Of invalid pensions to all
the soldiers wounded or incurring dis
ability in the military service. Upon a
question like that no just humane man
could hesitate for q moment. Every
soldier who has performed service is en-
titled to the pay and bounty promised
by law, and all disabled in any way dur
ing service, are entitled to pensions; and
| have never, directly by vote, or indi'
rectly by refusing to vote. withheld eth

The Chicago Post ennumerates the follow
ing reasons why we should give thanks this
year; .
I. Because the air we breathe is still free,
and not taxed for internal revenue.
III. Because Greeley's 100000 men are
still liable to be drafted.
LII. Because one rebel isn't equal to five
Yankees.
~. Because, notwiths landing the Presi-
dents bull against the comet, the comet
hasn't Jet projected any horned quadruped
against the President.
V. Because greenbacks are not worth less
than fifty cents on the dollar.
vi. Because printing. paper isn't half a
d ollar pound.
VII. Because the rebel army is hemmed
in between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
and has no other alternative but to fight or
not to fight.
VIII. Because the rebels still protest their
intention to die in the last DITCH" (giving
ground for suspic ion that they expect to
die some time or other)
TX. Because the radicals have not vet

The Proclamation

The good results that were anticipated
from Lincoln's emancipation proclamation by
its friends proves to be more imaginary than
real. That brutunp fulnen-that idle threat,
was hailed, by the BRAIN cracked abolition
lists as tho great panacea for all our ills
The great prop of the rebellion was knock
ed from under it," we were told, the disso-
luton of the dollhouse was to be rapid and
certain. The Rebels were given by procla-
nation, three months warning of impend-
ing ruin. After the expiration of these
months of grace came the solemn declaration
that all the slaves in the rebellous states
and districts were "then, thenceforth and for
ever Free" This was the finishing stroke :;
the last card in the hands of these desperate
gamblers; the one by which all that had
been lost was to be regained. 1t turns out
to have been loosing card. Instead of that
harvest of blood of defenselsss women and
children-that rich feast of rapine and butch
cry, which they hoped for through a servile
insurrection; they find themselves after the
lApSc vi LuTe6 IuOuLHS OI uninterrupted proc
lamation thunder in the same situation of
the Pope who issued his bull against the
comet or rather the bull who disputed the
right of way with the steam engine. They
now begin to admit the utter inutility of
this scheme. The niggers are all "copper-
heads and sympathizers with rebels" They
will not risk their lives and the protection of
their masters for the precarious chances of
social equality with g. northern mudsills''-
How very stupid in them. not to rush en-
nsdsse to Governor Andrew, and Father
Abraham How very useful they would
prove to these worthless, in putting down and
keeping in subsection, Democrats, who refuse
an unquestionlng support to their tyranical
and illegal schemes?
Lo! the poor niger, whose untutored mind,
This promised land will never find;
His long -heeed feet refuse to stray
Far from their native rebel clay.

JOHN VAN BUREN ON ANOTHER
"BUST.''

John is queer fellow-talented, jovial,
and rollicking, socially and politically-a
last man" in many respects, but never very
last to any political principle or doctrine
plausible in whatever may be his position,
but always uncertain as to how long he will
remain in it-an advocate of compromise,
peace and union in October '62, and for no.
thing but war in March '63. John took a
political spree in '48, and wandered away off
from the Democratic party, but not quite in
to the ranks of Abolitionism. lie now gives
strong indications of indulging in another
bust" and strikes out on platform with
Seward, Weed & Co. Whether he will ever
get back again uuder the Flag of the Consti-
tuition and Union, is quite uncertain, and in
no respect is it matter of much importance
to the Democracy. Such wandering and un-
certain lights are of no advantage to any par.
ty, and the fewer the Democracy tolerate,
the better. We therefore trust John will
this time take all his "duds" with him, and
leave no excuse for again entering the Demo
cratic household, which is the proper homo
only for those who have hearts large and pa
triotic enough to love the people and States
of all sections OF our country as brothers and
equals, and boldly to labor for their restora-
tion to Union and peace, under the Consttu-
tion of the patriots of'87. We fear, John,
you are not SO disposed and that you are
prejudiced against the South because her peo-
pie would not favor the nomination of your
father in IA. five are right, John, we pray
you make this bust" last for the balance of
your life. If you can't be contented with the
Democracy, take up your permanent abode
at once and forever with the sectional Aboli-
tionisfs. you are not for the white mans
party, stand out openly for the nigger,"
and henceforth cease playing the mulatto
mengrel game.-Jeferson'an.

EXeunt Billy.

= Billy "dilated" little more last week, on
Che subject of "that draft" but says he "shall
waste no more paper on questian so trivial
and yet so plain" That if we " dispute the
legality of his clearance from the draft. it
must be with the Governor and Secretary
of war"
Billy has demonstrated that he is not only
good at shirking the draft, but is equally
adroit in shirRing examination into the le-
gality of his course in SO doing. After "ex-
planning" "justifying,' vindicating" and
wrigeling like dying polliwog, he declines
NIL further discussion on the subject. How
very convenient, to refer the whole question
10 the Governor and Secretary ofwar. How
unkind, in us, to trouble Billy, with any
questions on " so plain" matter
The distinguished functionaries to whom
we are referred, have already too much to
answer for, to people whose mcst inviola-
bic and sacred rights they have trampled up
on and violated in defiance of law, to be
troubled about so small and mean an act as
letting SO craven hearted stink creep out of
80 small a rat-hole, as that through which
Billy escaped.
After having peremptorily declined the
proftered society of this cont emptible niger
head, ne puts on airs" and says he does not
desire to associate with us. He has probably
"got it through his WOOL" that Governor
Andrew isnow gathering around him, all
the sweet scented" patriots whose tenden-
cies are Canada-ward aud doubtless hopes to
find congenial and appreciative compan-
tonship in that distinction.
How very refined is this gentleranly, red
nosed pedagogue who complains Of our Ian
guage but INDUCES in such polite epithets
as BRUTE" "coprerhead," hottentot" &c?
Now, we have parting word of advice to
give you, Billy, as you are making your final
exit from the stage into your secure and OBJ
scure retreat. That is, if in the draft which
10 now impending, you are allowed in violation
of the laws, and through political favoritism
to stink a.; (as you doubtless will be} that
you will not SO stultify yourself, and outrage
common sense, and common honesty as to
claim thatit is necessary, polite or legal but
will frankly admit, that you are whitc-iver-
ed, crayen-he.rtcd sycophant and tool of a
crumbling, corrupt, lawless and tyranical dy-
nasty. You can then, save yourself from the
reproach which attaches to a fool and liar;
though, never, from the contempt which be-
&ngs 20 sneak aud coward.

STATE OF DELEWARE--EOVE
CANNON CENSURED.

The following preamble and resolution have
passed both branches of the General Assem-
bly, of Delaware ---..
WHEREAS, The Government of the United
States and the several States are governments
of law, within the limits of which all offici ais
find their rightful powers, and outside of
which no official has any just claim to power
or to obedience from his fellow citizens -
And Whereas, VIM. Cannon, the Governor
Of this State, in his inaugural address, has
avowed the false and dangerous doctrine that
reasonable ground for suspicion" can justify
the arbitrary arrest and incarcerations in
prisons, far removed from the district of their
residence, of citizens against whom no war
rant has been issued or charge made accord
ing to law, and has unblushingly published
his approval Of these cruel and lawless arrests
of his own fellow citizens And Whereas he
has thus proved himself, by his own avowal,
the weak but willing fool of Federal usurpa-
ton, and Governor unworthy the respect
and confidence of his fellow citizens-one TO
whom they can look for no just protection of
their rights of person and of property there
fore,
Resolred, That the doctrines of Gov. Can
mons address, in regard to arbitrary and law
less arrests, are, if carried out, fatal to con-
stitutional liberty, destructive of the peace
and security of our people, and deserves and
hereby receives, at the hands of the Legisla-
ture of Delaware, prompt and indignant re-
pudiation, and are declared worthy Of the
severest apprehension ofa people who inherit
the privileges of freemen and wish to pre-
serve them unimpaired.

papers,.
j. r. CUNNINGHAM.

The Freeman's Journal, New York, edi
ted by the noble hearted IrisLman, McMas
ters, thus expresses itself in relation 10 the
new Conscription Law
"We see that this absurd rump Congress
which, happily, dies to be forever damned,
on Wednesday Of this week-thinks that it
can give cold Abe" power to call directly
on us tniltia-men of New York to quit our
occupations and 60 down to the Carolinas to
look after his negro brethren. The Abra-
hamic claim is so rich, and so fresh, to us
brought up in the traditions of our Govern
ment, that we cannot at once write about it,
because it fills our mouth with laughter and
our eyes with the tears that spring from ex-
cessiVe merr:ment. We are very able-bod-
led man-on no plea exempt from the mill
tary service of our country when lapfully
called upon. Gov. Seymour is our Com
mander-in chief, and as he is very intelligent,
and very conscientious gentleman, and has
lately sworn to uphold the Constitution of
the State of New York, which happens, but
only since the year 1888, to include within it
the Constitution of the United States, we are
free to declare ourselves, within constitution
al limits, as entirely at Gov. Seymour's COM
mand for any military duty, from shoulder
ing long range rife to setting battalion.
But, outside of his command, WE OWE NO
L.
act of Congress, ignoring the authority of
States over their own litia, is bag of

THE ARREST OF JUDGE CONSTABLE
Statement of Facts by the States Attorney
Of Clark County,
CHARLESTON, I'LL, March IL.

CHARLESTON, Ill, March IL.
To the Editor Of the Chicago Times;
have noticed in several newspapers what
purported to be the facts in regard to the
cause of the arrest, at Marshall, ILL.,, of the
Hon. Charles III. Constable, judge of the
Fourth Judicial Circuit of the State ofIlli-
nois. ALI of these statements are false in
many particulars, and calculated TO deceive
the public and prejudice the rights of Judge
Constable.
The Circuit Court for Clark county COM
menced on Monday the second day of the
present month and on the Sunday morning
following, and before the final rejournment
of court, Mrs. Elizabeth Gamron appeared
before justice of the peace at Marshall and
made affidavit that two men from the State
ofIndianna, giving their names as John Nc
Farlan and Thomas Long, were attempting
to kidnap her son, James Gamron. There
upon the justice issued warrant, and the
parties were brought before him. Time was
given for the purpose of procuring counsel
and the attendance Of witnesses. The accus-
ed procured the services of R. L. Lulaney,
Esq, an able Republican attorney, who urg-
ed on behalf of the defendants that Judge
Constable. as conservator Of peace, inquire
into the truth and probability of the guilt of
the parties, Judge Constable finally agreed
to hear the case, and the justice handed the
matter over to him. I was called upon as
state attorney, to prosecute on behalf of the
state. The evidence adduced on the part Of
the prosecution evidently sustained the
charge, and showed violation of the Crmi-
nal Code. The defendants, by their attor-
ney, introduced as evidence written commits
sions from authorities of Inniana, purport-
ing to give John Mcfarland and Thomas
Long authority to arrest deserters in the city
of Terre-Iaute and county Of Vigo, State of
Indiana. There was no proof that these par
ties were the persons they represented them
selves to be. It was also disclosed in the
examination that James Gamron, for whom
the complaint was made, volunteered in the
Illinois regiment; that he had been tax
en- prisoner in Tennessee about the 1st of
February, and was paroled had arrived ct
his mothers house in Clark county, ILL.,,
sick, and remained SO up to the time of the
arrest. The judge, after hearing all the ev-
idence, held that there was probability of
the guilt of the accused, and thereupon re-
quired that they make their bond to the peo-
pie of the State of Illinois, jointly, in the
sum of five hundred dollars, conditioned that
they appear and answer further to the char
ges on Thursday following.
What have stated are substantially the
facts, and all the facts involved in the inves-
tigation. Ttere was no habeas corpus sued
out, and the parties said to be descrters were
not in in the custody or under the control of
the Judge as universally stated in the &C
counts of the marter going the rounds in the
papers.

The Yazoo Pass expedition hangs fire. At
last accounts the Union feet were kept back
by the rebel fort on the Tallahatohie. This
work could not, it seems, be attacked by a
land forces, as it was protected by water.
At last accounts an attempt was making OF
rednce this fort, who was not indicated. The
discouraging part of the matter is that this
delay will give the confedrates time to build
so many obstrucions in these narrow rivers
that all hope of reaching Hams Bluff by this
means is very dubious. Let US hope for bet
ter news soon from some quarter.-N Y
