THE REASONS WHY.

There are several reasons why the
Board of Supervisors should provide a
liberal inducement for volunteers'to enroll
their names with tho veterans Of our
county.
L. 1t is a matter of economy. 1t is n
we'll settled fact that very largo MAORI
ty of those now enlisting are transient
young men, having no fixed place Of res
idence, many of them aliens, who, with a
liberal bounty offered, could be induced,
with little effort, TO volunteer and be ac-
credited 10 our county; whereas, if the
CONSUMPTION is allowed to take place, to
call out our quota Of men, many heads of
families will be drafted and very large
appropriation required to support their
famiies-much larger in the aggregate
than would be required to induce volun-
teering.
III. Our industrial interests demand it.
1t is fact that our agricultural interests
are already suffering largely from the
drainage on its producing population.
Farmers are in need of the help of their
sons to carry on the operations Of their
farms, that seed may be provided for the
sower and bread for the eater, that the
means of living may be placed within the
reach of all, that our citizens may never
know the abject restitution and suffering
now prevailing, as reported, with our
neighbors of the South, which can DO ar
rested and our gallant armies literally
provided for, only by using every reason
able means to secure needful aid to our
farmers in their field operations. Wages
now are very high-S2 per day being de-
manded by common INCONSISTENCIES
suffer by such prices demanded. This
can be effected by inducing volunteers, rs
much as possible, with the non.producing
classes, and, to accomplish this, as already
seen, liberal bounties are required.
III. 1t equalizes the burden. There
are always few men in every communi-
ty ready with influence and purse to aid
every good work, while the great mass
stand aloof unwilling to put their shout
der TO the wheel. The matter of furnish.
ing aid to the government is one in which
we are all alike interested. 1t is duty,
and all should bear the burden equally
Let the property of the county therefore
be taxed to accomplish the desired result.

THE steamer Racine is now nearly
ready to resume her regular trips between
this port and Racine, having been put in
perfect order, by being supplied with a
new cylinder and. walking-beam, which
was broken in q storm on the night of
Sept. Goth last. We are informed that
there is sufficient business to keep her
steadily employed during the remainder
of the season, or until the propollers shall
take the place of the steamers which will
be within a few weeks.

Meeting of the Board of Supervisors

We are rejoiced that meeting of the
Board of Supervisors, Of our county, has
been called, as intimated in our last issue,
thus early Qo-day), for the purpose Of
making suitable provision for liberal
bounty to volunteers, to be accredited to
our county on the pending draft. We
hear but one expression on the subject,
and that is for the bounty. We feel as
sured the great mass of the people will
heartily sustain the Board in any reason
able provision it may make for such a
worthy purpose. We believe not only
Grand Haven and Tallmadge, but every
other town in the county will give good
report at the next day of drafting.

ed by fire, near Mill Point, on Saturday
morning last. The fire originated about
the boiler, among some wood, and was
not discovered by the men on board Of
her until it had become unmanageable.
So fast spread the flames that in 8 min
utes the entire cabin and upper-works
were consumed. Capt. s., with sufficient
help, arrived with tho tug Jones in time
to save tho hull, which was not so badly
burned. 1t is said that the boiler and

WASHINGTON City, Dec. 10, 1853.

REcoNsTRCCTIoN-TH PiTH OF THE
PRESIDENTS VIEw.-There has been ten
times more talk about the theory of recon-
struction than there is auy need of. The
real difficulty has been in carrying any
theory into practice. First, we have to de-
stroy the rebel armies, so that any loyal
government can exist in the rebel States.
Next, we must confine the exercise of the
powers Of the State Governments strictly
to the honestly loyal people. Who are they?
Herein ic the pith of the whole matter, and
in the answer to that question is the pith
of the Presidents Message. But, before we
refer to that, let US examine the premises
in which the Presidents conclusions are
founded. The Constitution of the United
States, as we have often said, acts on md
dividaals only. It's strength lies in the fact,
that when any man, or number Of men,
resist the authority of the National Govern
ment, that authority strikes doacn upon the
rebels in spite Of any State latos. Lunatic
as the States Rights party of the South has
been, it has not been able to deny that, ex-
cept by claiming that Secession is constitu-
tional. Heuce it is that, in the rebellion,
to the whole practical theory OF
the Constitution, itywas tadioiduaLs rebel
led. Ii the State could not secede, much
less could its loyal inhabitants be in rebel
Lion, because its rebel inhabitants acted

facts.-that no was one of the first to pay

larger than that paid by the publisher OF

States! We suppose the Tribune is satisfi-
ed that it "waked up the wrong passenger

~ The President must be gratifed at
the. general satisfaction his plan for the
practical Reorganization Of the rebellious
States gives to all classes of men and to all
varieties of opinion. This satisfaction, we
take it, results principally from the fact
that, while it valves useless discussions as
to the actual political OF social status Of the
South, it smooths the way for those who
are disposed to repent Of their errors or
their crimes, to restore themselves to the
protection of the law. Whether the best or
the wisest mode in the abstract, it is prGc-
ticGl, attains the end, and avoids debate
about questions upon which it is scarcely
possible all classes would agree. AS all
men who desire to maintain the Union,
ardently concur in the purpose Of the Pro-
clamation, so they are willing to cooperate
in almost any mode of action calculated to
secure it without compromising the dignity
and honor and safety of the Nation. Mr..
Lincoln has probably hit upon happy
medium between the two extremes Of 10y
al opinion, and without combating either,
without assuming that either is wrong,
or unpolitic, or insufficient, bridges over
the disagreement, and invites, not assent
or Endorsement, but cooperation. Men
will do this who will not otherwise sane
ton the scheme. They will aid any plan
which promises success, 80 they are not
required to give up opinions they cherish
and believe just. 1t may not be the road
they deem best. But it is q road. 1t leads
TO the desired point BY travelling on it,
we shall reach our desired end. They
think it better to 60 by almost any road
than to waste time in determining the COM
parative merits of all. That is the source
of the general acquiescence. Perhaps this
is the very highest merit any plan could

The ablest of Canadian papers the Toron-

dents Message in the following words -
"The great Southern rebellion is on its last
legs, It may last six months or year,
hut it is not to be disputed by any fair
minded observer that it is dying. The fall
of Richmond and the flight Of JEFF. DAVIS

set forth in his message what Is to be done
with the South when it is conquered, DuI
his present movement for the pacificauon
of the South is of the ''pegging away or

comprehensive, but it may achieve great
success" The Globe thinks the Southern
people will soon be ready to take the oath
after their armies are subdued, and though
some fierce spirits may long hold out,
"they will be regarded as the Jacobites IN
Britain, who, even within the present CEN
fury, have refused to take the oath OF tealty
to the Hanoverian line. There will be

Cen. Butter on Habeas Corpus, aud Ar
bitrary Arrests.
There was on immense meeting at
Concord, New Hampshire, on the 18th
ult. Gen. Butler was there and made
speech Of great ability, discussing
among topics the writ of Habeas Cor
pus and arbitrary arrests. We take
an extract from that portion Of the
speech which relates to these subjects,
for the special benefit Of those who
think Vallandigham has been dealt
with too severely by our military au-
thorities. All such viii please read
and reflect:
What are the issues pressed upon
us on the other side2 The first issue,
rs understand it, is thnt the sacred
writ OF habeas corpus, received by
King John and his Barons, and sent
through long line of English States
men down to us, and embalined in our
Constitution - that that great writ
shall be preserved To that ! answer,
who doubts it? Whoproposes to take
away the writ of habeas corpusY
here desire to give TO my friends the
words Of that Constitution: "The
writ Of habeas corpus shall not be sus-
pended, except when public safety
demands it; in case of war or invas-
ion" re-echo it rs my creed--the
writ of habeas corpus has never been
suspended but once in the history OF
this Government up to the present
time. II has been recommended once
to be suspended in the history of this
Government beside. Who first re
commended its suspension, i ask you
old Democrats! Thomas jefferson.
And upon what occasionY The treas
on of Aaron Burr, which was only al
flash in the pan compared with this
rebellion. Who is the man that did
suspend itp Why, my frierds, do
you remember Andrew Jackson at
New Orleans2 He suspended it the
only time in the history of this gov
ernment, up to the present time
That was because n British armys of
$4,000 men were threatening this great
country. May not the habeas corpus,
in tho language of the Constitution.
be suspended when an army under Lee
of 100000 men is laundering at the
gates of the capital2 No political
party can stand on the question wheth-
er the writ of habeas corpus shall not
be suspended. You might as well
raise political question upon wheth-
or gunpowder shall be fired off in war
times so as to kill men. Let my De
mocratic friends go forth with me to
put down the rebellion, and there will
be no ftirther cause of suspension of
the writ Of habeas corpus.
What is the next issue forced uponI
us! 1t is looking to the platform of
