Sensible Talk from n Repubii-
- -.i c0n. r-..I


Senator Cowan, Republican 0. S.
Senator from Pennsylvani !, n in the
last speech he made in the Senate, at
its last session, just on the eve of its
adjournment, made the following ref
erence to the Democratic party. He
said: ei|
"Now, it seems to me that If We of
the predominant party were more tol-
erent of the opposition, and instead of
taking pains to insult their beliefs and
misrepresent their opinions, we should
be careful to avoid any allusion to
them whatever, we should soon disarm
that opposition. Ihave been from the
first Of opinion that the introduction
of any measure, no matter how impor-
tant it might appear to be in the eyes
of their friends, calculated to provoke
the hostility of the Democratic party
and incite it to opposition, was mis-
chievous to the highest degree, and
that all we might gain by such a mea-
sure would be nothing compared with
what we should lose by arousing it to
resist it. Their harmonious co-opera-
ton with us in the prosecution of the
war is worth more to the country o
thousand times over than any measure
we could propose, and which would
tend to ALLEVIATE them from us. Is
there any man living tosday, who
loves his country more than his own
hobby, who would not be willing and
ready to give up all the causes Of diff
ference with that great party, compo-
sing one-haf our people, for the sake
of insuring its hearty and cheerful
cooperation with us in carrying on
the war? Sir, I had rather have the
moral and material aid of the Demo-
cratic party in this war than all the
legislative projects that could be hatch
ed in the brains of q Congress compo-
sed entirely ofreformers. One kindly
pulsation of its great heart and one
sturdy stroke of its mighty arm would
do more to put down the rebellion
than all the laws we could pass. ]
would cheerfully yield all my precon.
ceived notions at any time to secure
its aid in this extremity, and with its
aid l believe the unity of the republic
would soon be restored, and the ole
flag again float everywhere, still more
4 the subject Of yeneration and still
more the assurance Of safety and pro
lection than it ever was. / would re
spect the traditions of that party, ant
deal tenderly with its likes and dis
Hikes, and surely under no circumstan
ces would I offend it when it could b.
layoided. sse

The Cincinnati papers have looked
up and published an interesting cor
respondence which took place between
the distinguished nominee for Cover
nor of the Democracy, and a crack
Drained fellow by tho name of Sabin
Hough, who pretended to sport the
title of Rev. but who could find no
congregational the loyal States to listen
to his theology.
In the Spring Of 1861, he engaged in
the publication of periodical of Sc
cession proclivities, Ofcourse, in en-
barking in an enterprise Of that de-
scription, he would seek the advice,
aid and comfort of those in sympathy
with his paper and the cause it advo.
Gated. Soon after tho commencement
Of the publication Of his paper, he was
arrested on charge of treason, but
discharged, On his examination let
.ters were found with him, which We're
read in the evidence, and among which
are the following from Mr.. Vallandig-
ham. They show, at least. that he has
been consistent in his belief that moth
ing but separation is in the future

tanning these views from the beginning
he has regarded expenditure of money
and the ctfusion ofboOd as unnecessa

advice was in the beginning not to en-

MAJOR JOHN R. BLESSING.

We, the non commissioned officers and pri-
Yates of Company G, 9lst Regiment, o. V. l.,
desiring TO have some humble part in paying
a tribute Of respect to the memory Of our late
Major BLESSING, offer the following:
We will honor the bravery of our lamented
Major; yes, we honor the bravery, respect the
gentlemanly bearing, love the kindness and
virtues, and win copy the examples, and emu
late the virtues Of our late Major, JOIN R.
BLESSING.
We are truly bereft in this time of great need.
OF our Major so true and so brave,
o, who will come forward and stand in his
stead,
Our loved institutions to save.
Major BLESSING came out with the Ninety-first
boys,
Much loved and respected by all;
Eight months he was with US in iberty's
cause,
But how soon, o alasl was his fall.
We feel the bereavement yet bow to the stroke
That snatched him away from the field;
We i'll copy the virtues and pains which he
took,
Till our victory and triumph is sealed.
Our sympathies too, for his widow shall flow,
And his children shall share our regards,
We'll condole with his friends while in mourn
ing they're clad,
By this providence seeming so hard.
But while with deep sorrow our bosoms are
filed,
To part with our Major so kind,
The prospect of meeting on Zion's bright hill,
Gives comfort and ease to our minds.
Rev. JOHN BOOTON.
