Duty of Supporting the Adj
ministratiOH.

Let us not delude ourselves with the
distractipg and pernicious foolery which
teaches that the country is to be saved,
or can be saved, in some other way than
by cooperating with the existing admin
istration in the work of subduing the
Rebellion. There must be unity of ac-
ton : and we can have no rallying GEN.
tire for that unity except the constitution
al authorities of the country. There
must be a head; and we can have no
other head but the nations Chief Mag
istratc and Commander. An army must
fight under its general, whoever be may
be, or not fight at all. There can be dis
graceful surrender there can be bloody
mutiny; there can be cowardly deser-
ton; but there can be no victory, except
through cordial co operation with those
ia authority, and loyal obedience to or
ders.
And | hold that the President of the
United States, as Commander-inC Chief of
the armies and nayies of the nation has
rightfu authority over us all, and a
just claim upon our generous and nearly
support in the fearful task which Provi-
dence and the people have assigned him,
of restoring the national sovereignty
over the last square inch of the national
domain. When he lifted his right hand
and solemnly swore, before earth and
heaven that he would preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution Of these
States, he became the representative of
us all; he consented to embody, in his
sole person, the highest magistracy and
executive power of the nation-the
collected sovereignty Of the whole peo
pie. He swore for US, and on our behalf;
and between us and him there is a cove
nant Of God, to which we form party.
If there is any meaning in American
citizenship, we all stand pledged, by all
that is sacred in loyalty and in honor, to
sustain him in the discharge of his pub
lie duties, and in the administration Of
his mighty trust.
The President is no dcspot; he is sim
ply public servant. But he is clothed
with vast authority, not the less; and
this authority, though delegated by the
people for their own use and benefit, is
as real as that of any anointed and
crowned monarch; and is as much more
worthy of our respect as our popular
government is superior to kingly rule
Disrespect to the authority of the Prcsi-
dent, therefore, is disrespect to the Con.
stitution which creates his office; it is al
SO disrespect to the people who created
that Constitution, and who rcaffirnfed it
in the very act Of voting for a President.
We are not living together as mere de-
batting club; we constitute a government,
and every attempt to abridge or bring
into contempt the rightful powers of
those who are charged with executing
the functions of that government, or to
embarrass them in the preservation AMI
defence Of that government, is an offense
against the peace and dignity of the ma
ton, which should be branded rs infa-
nous and punished as criminal CAas.

A PRESENT TO GEN. RosEcRANs.-
An unique gift is about to be made TO
Gen. Rosecrans. 1t consists of a gold
pen and holder, the latter remarkable for
having been carved from a cedar splinter
picked up on the field after thebattle of
Stone River The top is ornameted with
a figure of liberty, infinitely caryed-the
figure holding in one hand a broken
chain, and the other sustaining a flag
A serpent wrthing under her feet has
its fangs inserted in its own body. A
narrow gold band winds round the hold
err spirally and bears this inscription
''ro Major General Rosecrans; with your
sword in hand you have led your brave
armies to glorious victories; with your
pen you have struck terror and dismay
into the hearts of traitors at home.

MINNESOTA INDIANs.-The St. Paul
Press says of the Indians in that State.
There are not FIVE thousand Indians in
in Minnesota, all told. The Sioux and
Winnebagoes, who compose the larger
part of our Indian population, have been
removed, and the Chippewas, who re-
main, are friendly, and for the most
part, unoffensive set.

GT 1t is now said that the War De-
partment will soon offer a bounty of
three hundred dollars to all who viii re-
enlist, using the funds accumulated from
the payment of three hundred dollars
rather than 90 to the field. 1t is expec-
ted that nearly all the returning soldiers
will accept high bounties and return to

The New state.

Citizens of Richie, in a little over two
weeks, you will be called upon, at the bal
lot.bOx to decide question that will af
feet not only yoar future lives, but the
lives of generations yet unborn. You are
to determine there, by your votes, whether
your children and children's children are
to be educated, free, prosperous, independ-
ent and happy, or the very reverse. If, by
voting against the amended Constitution,
you defeat our efforts to cut loose from the
tyrannicul rule of the Enst, all that is de-
plOrable under tho suu, will be visited
upon you and your children, the immedi-
ate effects of which, will drive from your
midst enterprise of every Character; your
lands will not be worth as much as the
taxes you will be compelled to pay on them
to clear up the Indebtedness of the East;
the burthen of taxation, instead of being
lightened, will be heaped upon you four
fold by those who have always looked
upon you as mere serfs; and you will stand
degraded, in the eyes of all the other States
in the Union.
While, upon the other hand, vote in fla
vor of a new State, and secure at once the
object you have had in contemplation, if
not la6ored for, for the last twenty years,
and our boundless resources will be opened
up, and your farms, which would not now
bring Eve dollars an acre, will then be in
creased in value over SO per cent; your
taxes will be lessened almost oae. half that
formerly paid into the old State Treasury
at Richmond, and you will have the salts
faction of seeing the money accruing there
from appropriated to your own home i'm
provements.
Now, voters of ofRitchie, tits left with you
and the voters of the other counties COM
Prising our new State, to say whether we
shall be Heaven-favored or God-for-
saken Psople IN all time to come, and we
and those who look to you for support and
comfort, that you will discard all petty
jealousies, and make the coming 26ta of
March one long to be remembered and re-
joioed over in all time to come Let no
"Judas" or "wolt in sleeps clothing" lead
you astray.

ems was to be here to deliver an address in
opposition to the New State. He came. as
expected, butiwe had our worthy Auditor
here to defend our cause. Arrangements
were made by some of our Union men that
Mr. Graue shouidspeak an hour and half
Clemens to follow, allowing him the same
time, Mr.. Crane TO close. This arranpe-
ment was made in order to keep down ex-
citenent that might arise, as it was said bv
some persons that Clemens should not
speak. Notwithstanding high waters there
was good turn out of people, who were
convened at the Court house, and the
meeting was organized by electing W. 1.
BOreman President, ]. O. Beatty Vice Pres
ideut and ]. E. Boyers Secretary. Auditor
Crane was introduced to the audience by
the President. Mr.. Cranes remarks were
we'll received by the people. They were
full Of force and truth. The constitu-
tionality of the New. State was explained so
clearly that a5hplest person could help
being satisfied on that point. 0therpoints
that he dwelt on were fully explained. He
is certainly the mau to please the people
he is honest, patriotic and energetic, Just
the man who would suit US for our New
State Governor. Mr.. Clemens followed
him, saying he was prepared to meet any
emergency-thus trying to intimidate the
Union men. They were completely dis
gusted with him, and nothing but the
agreement before he commenced speaking
prevented the people from taking him from
the stand.
When he was nearly through some one
threw rotten egg at him barely missing
his head. The meeting was promptly
called to order, aud the excitement pro-
duced by throwing the egg, would have
been but momentarily, had not Clemens
drawn his revolver upon the AUDIENCE
Several soldiers present told him that they
had been under FIRE (Antietam) before, and
were not afraid of him. Also other sol.
diers present, drew their revolvers upon
him: lfClemens had shot, he would have
been killed upon the spot. After all his
threats he was compelled to surrender up
his revolver to j. E Boyers. His friends
who were pleased to see him, when he ar
rived in town, forsook him when he needed
them. The Union people of Tyler are
fully aroused, and If the rebels desire
peace they can have it by being quiet
themselves, and keeping such men, as
Clemens at home. For while our fathers.
sons and brothers are fighting in the field
against armed treason, it is our duty, who |
remain at home, to prevent treason and
disloyalty being apread amongst us by such
men as Clemens & Co., under preface of
being opposed to the New State. Our New
State will be opposed by secessionists and
their sympathizers. "A true and loyal man,
is New State man.. KANAwHA.

olroumstasssS-Alter Cases.

Senator Richardson, of Illinois, said
lately in the Senate that the rebellion was
at the beginning causeless. Do he and his
friends, then, mean to say that it is now
justifable?
He also said at the same time that it
might have been avoided by compromise.
How Upon what ground of honor. or
common sense would he compromise with
men who would causeLeSsLy rebel? The
rebellion began after compromise was re-
fused Still he thinkSit causeless. Then
the failure to compromise was not cause
or justification of rebellion.
Besides upon what principle would he
have compromised? The election had
been Constitutionally conducted and con-
ciuded Some of the defeated party said,
Every well, we don't like the result, and
we are going to break up the Govern

TIE Charleston Mercury accuses the
Federal army, which is about to restore
its city to obedience to the laws, of being
urged on by deYilish hate, and of coming
with the avowed purpose to sack our
homes and plow our streets with his
round shot" The Louisville Journal
asks: "Can the Mercury inform the world
what kind of spirit it was that urged its
rebel fellow-citizens to lombard Fort
Sumpter and for hours to imperil its he
roic garrison with mortar and petard ?'
When they have sown the wind of war.
they should not whine and fume when
the harvest of death is about to be gath

struggle, as the Mercury confesses, and in
the hot-Ded ofthe rebellion should its last
smouldering ashes be extinguished.

Military Interference in Ohio.

cago Times says:
notwithstanding the fact being well
known to the mli,sry authorizes that q
great battle would be fought between
kosecrans and Bragg, they removed a
number of troops that could have been
sent to RosecIans into Ohio, fer the pur-
pose Of beating the exied patriot, C!e;n
ent L. VaIlandigham The outrages
practiced by the administration on the
elective franchise in this state are too fresh
in the memory of all to need repetition
here, and | have the best evidence that
the same game Is to be resorted to in
Ohio unless the people of the Old Buck
eye state rise in their mighs and assert the
msJesty of the law Soldiers are now be
ing distributed throughout tie different
portions of Ohio where the VaIlandie-
ham voters are .he most powerful, for no
other purpose than to prevent the free
men Of that state from exercising the
right of free suffrage.
