ORC S T r.:


There was a meeting in Cambridge two or
three nights ago, which developed the fact
that there are still in Massachusetts few men
who. while believing thoroughly and entirely
in the war, regarl the executive policy with
about equal approval, Indifference, and dis
like. They will not consent to admit that the
fact of rebellion has made such change in
the relations of the government and states, as
to Justify the interference Of the one with the
others institutions, which in time of peace
were shielded under the palladium of state
rights. While acquiescing in the policy as an
established fact, they yet indulge in vague
criticisms or expressions of open dstrust, in
which real enemies take intense delight.
They refine upon dead issues as if they were
still living, and dress up the ghosts of old
questions as if they were not dead and already
turned TO ashes. Their fault is the fault of
men accustomed to look always to tie setting,
never to the rising sun-of quietists, blind in
one eye, who follow in the wake of all con-
WILSON'S, tied TO the ghost of old questions, out
OF which lie departed long ago, and which
ought to be quietly sleeping in their shrouds.
There were plausible issues growing out of
the agitation of the slavery question before
slavery had made actual war upon the govern
ment which till that ungrateful hour had pro-
tected it. Before experimental emancipation
had become necessity, it was comprehenSi-
BE how umid or indifferent people could de-
nounce it as the parent of all horrors, and
still escape Judgment, madmen or fools
But the experiment has been tried. None of
the baletul prophecies concerning it have
proved true. Its trial as an act of statesman
ship was the wisest and greatest OF the last
hundred years. Its entire success where it
has had faithful and honest execution has
lifted the whole subject matter of emancipa-
ton above the stratum of debate and criticism
INTO the region Of accomplished facts. Yet
they still refine about it as if it were policy
still IN allegiance, contingent upon events not
yet, perhaps never to be, matured, while in fact
tits tXedand settled principle of public action
to which the public faith is solemnly and
unchangably pledged. Good lawyers, but
poor statesmen! An equal number of sol
diers taken at random from any regiment in
the field, the titty-fourth included, wonld
prove better statesmen than they.

No; there is but one issue in the country,
and that is between the government and the

portance from their bearing upon this one
slavery with the rest. And since it was for
slavery that the rebellion was planned and
matured, he is a weak statesman or a bad
one, who doesn't acknowledge the Scotch SOL

~ fas been the purpose, for some time past,
Vi fie more intelligent and influential Ger
2 mans in this country to unite the resident
German population into Il cons oldated politi-
cal power, with the view OF securing per-
manent and salutary influence upon the gov
ernment. The movement has the encourage
ment if it is not directed, by men of
generous views and large experience,
all whose sympathies are with the gov
eminent unconditi0La!y in its purpose to
crush the rebellion. The unqualified loyalty
of the German population during the whole
struggle, their singular comprehension of the
great principles that underly it, and their firm
devotion to them under all circumstances,
entities their movement to the consideration
and sympathy of all loyal men. They have
called national convention at Cleveland on
the 18th inst, for the purpose of determining
their duties in the emergency, and of perfect
ing an organization through which they may
etfectually work. The liberal German ele-
ment thus consolidated is not designed to act
independently, but comparatively, with al!
other patriotic organizations which stand with
them on platform of unconditional hostility
to the rebellion. and to all measures of COM
promise designed to shield it from destruction;
of emancipation, now and forever, OF all who
are in bonds; and of the elevation of only
good and capable men, by real popular
election, to the administration of public af-
fairs. The American government has no
warmer or truer friends than the intelligent
and liberal Germans who live under its flag.
Prof. Francis Lieber, whose eminent merit
as a philosopher and statesman is known to
the whole country, and the value of whose ex-
perience in great affairs the present admins
tration has more than once acknowledged, is
the type of large class of his countrymen
whose faith in popular government and the
rights OF men rests upon great principles, and
who will stand by them to the death. They
are not restrained by dead issues, and owe no
reverence to the past any farther than it fur
nishes immortal examples Of sacrifice for lib
erty, in whose battle their right arms are en-
gagged, and to whose cause their firm hearts
are pledged.

New YORK, Oct. The Washington Re-
publican says The government has posi-
tive Information that the rebels conte mplated
throwing Greek fire into the cities OF PhiIadel-
phia and New York, provided the rebel iron
clad Atlanta had escaped from the port of
Savannah. 1t will be remembered she did
not escape, but was captured, and arrived in
Philadelphia on Sunday last, prize. An Of
fetal report ut the navy department, of the
ammunition found on board the Atlanta, shows
that among the various classes of projectiles
for the guns were large number of shells,
marked Robbins fluid Shells for Finch rife
guns. Now it SO happens that the Robbins
fluid shell is the very same Greek fire en-
ployed by Gen. Gilmore against Charleston,
against which the rebels have made such a
great hue and cry"
WASHINGTON, Oct 7.-According to the
official reports made to the navy department,
among the ammunition of the captured ram,
Atlanta, were shells labelled "Robbin's Fluid
Shells" but it is not known whether the fluid
is similar to that used by Gilmore.

The SECOND COUNCILLOR DIsTRICT.-It is
said that in the second councillor district
(TauDton, Dorchester, Weymouth, Walpole,
&c.) there bids fair to be lively fight over
the republican nomination about to be made
the issue being personal one, and the con-
test coming between the present incumbent
the irrepressble and redoubtable Francis w.
Bird OF Wapole-and anybody else whom
the opponents of the former believe strong
enough to run him of the track. At latest
accounts the person who seemed most likely
to be selected for the position was Mr.. b. L.
White of Weymouth; but as times change,
and circumstances alter cases. perhaps some
body else will be ultimately agreed upon by
Mr.. Birds antagonists, or perhaps they will
conclude that discretion is the better part
of valcr, and leave the field. MIR. Bird
is power in the present council, and on
account of his anti. slavery convictions and
utterances, if on no-other ground, lie ought to
be reelected, provided, of course, that he
desires to be; and probably he will desire to
be member Of some department or other OF
the state government, 50 long as there Is the
chance Tor an argument on the H0osac tunnel
question, or the opportunity for ventilating
the schemes of spectators and shysters in
connection with the manufacture and sale of
printing paper. 1.-The eagles flight is out of
sight" saith the old coupet; and although
our Bird aint exactly an eagle, he neverthe-
less takes good care not to besmear his own
nest, and will this fall, as heretofore, fly above
the reach OF all such sportsmen as seek 20
bring him down.--BoSt0n Cor. NeH Bedford
