" Liberty for the whole . United States Of

Massachusetts, has shown her faith in the
National Government By investing over S700-
GOO in United States securities Probably
not half the profits realized BY her Republican
manufacturers in supplying the rebel army
with shoes riG Canada and Nassau. Filling
her quota of troops would vastly improve her
credit. The three hundred dollar clause il
Wilson's conscription bill, was doubtless IL
serted for the benefit Of Massachusetts,, that
the money the Republican tariff wrings from
the people of the West. may enable those Of
New England to avoid military duty.
A Republican paper pauses in its mad Ca
reer to take retrospective view of its party.
Sheer nonsense. Another year. and the full
and finished life of the Republican party will
be visible.
II the condilon OF the natlon is dependent
on the stomachs of our soldiers, Republican
contractors are doing their best TO overthrow
the Government. II the defeat of the rebels
depended upon the plethoric condition Of the
contractors pockets, their "paytriotism
would be ample for the occasion.
There's no use in taking the Republican
leaders TO task, fellow citizens. They are too
lazy to perform it. as long as they are in

A WARYING.-Judge Story, in an address
delivered before the members of the Suffolk
bar. at Boston, September 4th, 1921, on the
Progress of Jurisprudence" said
If the union of the states is to be
preserved, land most earnestly must we all
hope, that ii may be perpetual) it can only be
by sustaining the powers of the National Gov
ernment in their full vigor, and holding the iu-
dicial jurisdiction, as the Constitution holds it,
eoextensive with the legislative authority. If,
by any adherence to some false and glossy
theories of the day, We yield up its powers. as
victims on the altar of public favor, or public
necessity, the Constitution will sink into pre-
mature and hopeless decline. 1t will add an
other, and probably the last, to the long list
of experiments to establish free government,
which have alternately Illuminated and darken
ed the annals of other nations, as renowned in
arts and arms, as they were for their advance
ment in literature and jurisprudence.
Abolition Union shriekers, who think the
President can do no wrong in his endeavors to
suppress the rebellion, and that the kidnapping
and Imprisonment Of citizens of loyal states
because of their political opinions, was justif-
able and public necessity" seem to forget
in their fanatical rawlings, that the Constitution
is the only barrier between the people and
universal anarchy or despotism.

any lead in the county. The owners of the
Well lead have sunk down I considerable depth,

that will pay for shipping. The ore assays
about thirty per cent. copper, and the ledge is
one of the largest ever discovered. 1t is al
ready opened 10 a depth of twenty feet and
they have only one wall. The Distilery ledge
is situated near McGourtneys crossing, on
