Cling to the Constitution, as the
shipwrecked Mariner clings to the last

"Nip the shoots of arbitrary power
IN the bud, is the only maxim which
can ever preserve the liberties of any
people. When the people give way,
their deceivers, betrayers, and destroy
ers press upon them so that there is no
resisting afterwards The nature Of
the encroaching, is like a cancer, it eats
faster every hour."- "--..Iohn adams.
Necessity is the plea of tyrants, and
if our Constitution ceases to operate
the moment person charged with its
observance thinks there is o necessity
to violate it, it is of little value.
We arc fighting TO maintain the Con-
stitution, and it especially becomes US
in appealing to the people, to come to
its rescue, not to violate it ourselves.
How are we better than rebels if both
alike set at naught the Constitution ?
Senator 7runsJul, Republican.
Il declare upon my responsibility as
a Senator, that the liberties of this
country are in greater danger to-day
from the corruption, aud from tho
profigacy pract,sed in the various de-
partments of tho Government, than
they are from the enemy in the open
field.-L p. Hale Republican Sen.

"Toward the preservation Of your

"Another principle must certainly
be embodied in cur Recognized form Of

legislation Of this country when tho

we Want is power and strength. The
problem will be to combine the form Of

In the same strain the North Amer

vALLANDIGHAM'S WIFE INSANE,
From the Syracuse Courier and Union.

vALLANDIGHAMs WIFE INSANE,
From the Syracuse Courier and Union.]
These midnight arbitrary arrests
have other victims than the bold and
manly hearts at which they are aimed.
When the sturdy oak is stricken down,
the ciinging vine which has twined it
self around it and garlanded it's scared
trunk and broad branching arms with
its graceful drapery of leaves or flowers,
falls with it or is torn from it's hold up
on the genial soil and perishes with its
fall.
In Dayton there was gentle woman,
lovely in person, agreeable in manner
the life of a circle of approaching
friends, educated and refined. She,
with woman's strength and instinct of
affection, had twined around one
manly soul, the clinging tendrils of
woman's best affections and all the gen
ial hopes and blissful visions of woman's
dreams ofhappiness and home. At.
the dead hour of midnight, when only
thieves, burglars and assassians stalk
abroad, at 2 o'clock in the morning,
she was startled by unusual and dis
turbing sounds from sleep, perchance
from blissful vision, perchance from
dreams of fearful portent for the loved
one upon whose strong arm and ma,ly
spirit she reposed as the sole happi-
ness of her present life, the whole stay
of her future years.
Like the startled fawn, she awoke to
fear, but alas ! not like the startled
fawn to run instinctively from the
sounds that menaced. Clinging to the
side of him who was her defender and
her pride, she approached with him the
window Of their chamber and saw
sight of fear. The murky night, ftfully
and dlmly lllumlned by the pale light
of the silent stars added to the scene
mysterious dread. Armed men with
the deadly musket and g]ittering bayo
net had surrounded the house. They
had come tor her husband, and he must
accompany them.
She had heard him denounced as q
traitor by the lunatic and the fool and
she had known of the cold blooded as
sassination in the same city by mur
derous fanatic of the bold and chivalric
Bollmeyer, the editor Of the Democrat
ic paper in the city of Dayton: the ill
fated city where it was a misfortune to
reside. Startled by the spectacle, she
begged and entreated that he would not
trust himself with men whom she knew
to be the tools of power and feared
might be sooner or later the assassins
of innocence.
"Do not go to them," she begged in
piteous accents, "they will murder you!'
Ascertaining that they had no legal
warrant for his arrest, he refused to ac-
company them. With repeated blows
that shook the house, one door was bro
ken in, then another, and another and
the armed rufians rushed in the cham
ber of the noble man and devoted-alas!
too loving and devoted wife !
Her reason reeled in that aw-
full hour, tottered for brief moment
upon her recent throne and gave way
to lunacy !
Reader-this is no picture of the i'm
agination. We give to you the touch
ing tale as we have received it from
trustworthy sources and it needs no
establishment.

GEN. PopE. "A complimentary dinner
was given to Gen. Pope in New York by
Mayor Opdkyc and other distinguished citi'
Gems on Friday evening, when in replying to
q toast in his honor he said:
He considered the compliment which had
been paid him as proof that the gentle.
men who had rendered 1t believed that he
had been faithful in the service of the gov.
ernmen.-that he had at all times endeavor'
ed to perform his duty with zeal and fidelity.
The General then remarked that in his judg.
ment the darkest hour of our history was
upon us ; and in these serious times 1t be-
hooved every lover of his country to allow
no personal considerations to weigh upon his
actions. For himself he would say that he
loved the government. He loved itas man
should love his Maker. He had grown uE
with its growth; it had cherished him. and
made him what he was; and might God for
give him when he should BIO no longer ready
to strike for its defense.

SCARCITY IN THE REBEL CONFEDERATE
From the Savannah Republican Of Decem-
Der 8, We copy tho annexed statement, show
ing tho privations to which the rebels are
subjected in the way of food:
"There are many portions Of tho C9nfed-
cracy where the stock of breadstuifs for
another year is already well nigh exhausted.
In some counties of Georgia the wheat crop
was total failure. and the supply of corn
will not last till Christmas. In every por.
ton of the country, sugar, coffee and other
beverages are exceedingly high, and totally
beyond the reach of the large body OF the
people, Flour, in the principal cities OF
this State, is selling at from forty to fifty
dollars. As regards coffee, our people had
pretty well made up their minds to do with
out it-chickory, rye, barley, wheat. pota-
toes, and number Of other domestic pro-
ducts, having been found pretty fair substi-
tutes. Even in this, though, they have been
foiled. Sugar, without which they are use
less, from being locked up, has become so
high and scarce that but few can obtain 1t, T"
The Republican attributes the scarcity in
-four and sugar to the course of the govern
ment in monopolizing the first-namod for the
army, and refusing to allow the shipment OF
the latter from Mississippi by railway, on
tho plea of military necessity.
