Senator Connese.

1t will be- remembered that Immediately
after the election of Hon. John CONFESS to
the U. S. Senate, many of the Copperhead
journals claimed it as Democratic " tri-
umph, and devoted columns of fulsome lauda-
ton to one whom they supposed would cling
to the remnant of name, and sanction the
ultimate recognition Of the Souther Confed'
eracy. But we affirmed at the time that they
had counted without their host, and have
shown several times since that such was ac-
tually the case. We now quote language
we believe to be conclusive. which leaves not
vestage of doubt as to where the Honorable
gentleman stands. He says:
Since have thought at all. l have reli-
giously believed in universal human liberty.
For while 1 restrained myself, whether right
fully or not, in obedience 10 desire for peace
and to the obligations felt l owed to the
country as l found it. The enemies Of right,

have broken the peace had fostered, and
have relieved me of the obligations l have

er,lment. would be less than a man did l

Democracy meant the greatest extention Of
civil rights to the human kind consistent with

made upon us to supplant liberty by slavery,
and to degrade us in the estimation of man.

contest between slavery and freedom, between
barbarism and civilization, which they have
said shall be determined by blows. They

against the palm" and say, "God help
them to a severe and speedy punishment for
their great, unnatural crime against civil liber-

gate to themselves the term Democracy,
which they undertake to use in restraint of
the Government in this great fight, to weaken
its arms and to paralyze its limbs. o what
a cruel and base use do they make Of the
Democratic name! When, b. fore this, where
human rights were involved, were the Democ-

Of woolen goods than of cotton goods. There has
been less nuctustion in the price of wool than in
the price of Cotton, for one reason. Wool growers
hold quite firm for 20 Soc for the new clip of wool,
which makes the cost of producing goods very high
to the manufacturers. It is probable, however, that
there will be some decline in woo.n goods before
trade starts again. Foreign dry goods have been

Gold have unsettled values, and there is usually

With decline Of 10 v cent in the premium on gold
we would naturally expect corresponding decline
