Although there are some spirits. who
are disposed to repine sat the apparent
Iy slow progress Of things, and find
fault with the powers that direct mat.
ters, we think a earefaf review of the
events and movements of the past
year, will show that our country has
much more reason for hope than it had
one year since.
1t is true, that in the progress of re-
sistance to this terrible and wicked re:
bellion, the tramp of war has come a
little carer our homes. Our resources
have felt the burden. We have been
made to see not only the benignity and
worth of our Government, but we have
seen in contrast, the fearful fury and
hellish desperation of the effort made
to overthrow that Government. The
mighty efforts made by the rebel army,
to transfer the field of battle to the
soil of the Free States, have most sig
nally failed. The Free States Of the
Union, have not been desecrated by
sanguinary conflict. If our enemies
have not been conquered, they have
been held at bay. Their hopes of for
eign recognition have not frightened.
Their hold in the south west has been
paralized, and every day it looks more
precarious. On the south eastern
coast, they have lost ground in great
degree, and although defiant in Vir'
ginia, every day of activity on the Mis-
sissippi, and in Georgia and Carolina,
renders them weaker in the "old do
minion."
There have been many changes in
our army, but it has been in no respect
demoralized. The same healthy tone
of sentiment, love of Country, and re
gard for our institutions, remain in the
hearts of our soldiers. They are
ready to be offered. Our Government
stands fairer in the eyes of the civilized
World. Our holds are stronger and
more numerous, and our purpose to
maintain our Government higher and
deeper. WE ARE ADVANCING.

The Goddess of Liberty Visits Congress
in Person.

Soon after the House of Representa-
tives was called to order by the Speak
err, yesterday, stately lady entered
the east gallery with an elegant silk
flag, of medium size, in her hands.
She walked to the balustrade, slowly
unfolding the flag, and, looking down
upon the members, waved the Stars
and Stripes slowly and majestically.
She then folded it mp again, and
walked out of the gallery. Her de-
parture was as quiet as her coming.
The manner ofthe woman was strange,
mysterious and solemn. She seemed
to be the Goddess of Liberty in flesh.
What induced her to perform this GER
emony is not known. At all events, it
was beautiful and Suggestive Wash
ington Chronicle.
"What induced her to perform this
ceremony % We can tell you. We
have sympathies in common with that
woman, aud can appreciate her pur,
pose. She no doubt discovered. as
we did long ago, that genuine patriot
ism is at adiscount among small Drained
politicians in the halls of the National
Congress, and the object of her demon
stration was to remind them that the
noble old flag of the United States
''stil lives" and to suggest to them
the duty and necessity of abandoning
their distracting schemes of faction,
their devotion to impracticable hob
bies, and their buncombe agitations,
and of directing their efforts to the one
great, transcendent purpose of saving
the republic.
Let them take the impressive Incl
dent TO heart. Let them keep the flag
of the Union-the patriots pride and
Liberty's escutcheon-ever before their
eyes, and remember that no party, no
object of mere personal ambition, no
mere political scheme, should in the
time of civil war and national peri
take precedence over the interests o.
the flag. Save it from dishonor, at al
hazards, and let not one star that is or
it be dimmed, or the least tinge of its
tri color be married, either by the vic.
lence of its enemies or through the
weakness and follies of it's friends.
Stand by it as long as life lasts. De-
fend it, exalt it, widen its folds, and
illumine its cleaning stars and stripes
| by devotion that knows no despair
and that will brook no disgrace.-Chi.

his friends hope to get him a place
again-this time in the War Depart

what official proposes now to provide

LANSING, Friday Eve, Feb 6, 1868.
w. II. CAMPBELL, ESQ Dear Sir {:
The Legislature are again at work.
After a short visit home, the members
seem to be determined to get through
the business necessary, and make this
a short session. The discussion on the
the Resolutions on the State of the
Union commenced yesterday. Mr..
Barnes, (Dem.( of Ingham, closed a
speech left unfinished last week, show
ing the position ofAhe w ar-Democrats
sustaining the Government and oppos
ing TIE administration! Sustaining
the War, and opposing its prosecution.
A distinction too nice to be followed ;
sophisty to thin to deceive any not
willfully blind, and not satisfactory to
the ultra Democracy, being a bid for
votes from ernest men In his county.
B. M. Williams, (Rep.) from Van Blu
rem, followed in speech that left not
a trace of special pleading or sophistry
to hide the nakedness of the argu-
menss of Mr.. Barnes, and all felt that
the Democrats as party, are RESPONSE
BILE to great extent for the present
condition of our Country, and that it is
the duty of all the truly loyal, to sus-
tain the administration as the only way
to uphold the country.
Mr.. Beakes, of Ann Arbor took the
floor to give us the views of the simon
pure Democrat, after speaking an hour
gave way for a recess until evening.
The house being disposed to let the
discussion go on, bat will hold evening
sessions for that purpose and not give up
the usual time of the public business
The ground taken by Mr.. Beakes in his
speech for three hours has been to
show that secession began in New
England and not South Carolina, and
the arguments went to show they are
more guilty than the secesh of the
South /; that the Republican Congress
by falling to pass the Crittenden peace
measure are responsible for the War
and all the consequent suffering.
The President in arresting northern
traitors has done aeta, of tyranny that
no autocrat would dare do. And in
the proclamation Of emancipation has
violated the Constitution and all the
rights Americans hold dear; done what
King Geo. III never dared to do. But
not word against "Our erring or mis-
guided brethren at the South" But
of course it is all loyal, nota trace of
treason could be found in the opinion
of Party. How long are we to permit
such speeches to be made IN our midst
to misled and deceive. Who can tell.
Truly Yours, II.
