| This quotation, were it lot tor one thlrg, would
place property in men on the same footing with
every other species of personal property. But
even then il would prove too much and eonse-
ouently prove nothing. For i: proves the entire

which the right TO property is based In princi-
nile il denies any higher law than municipal or
State law, any principle of law recognized by
all nations. in all time, upon which the right OF
property is based. The consequence would be,
that those of our countrymen who live near the
line. either of Canada or Mexico, if their stock
should stray across the line, would lose It. But

from the creator, received the right OF property

On Tuesday evening the New York Democrat.
ic Association held precisely such q meeting,
and John McKeon and James Brooks made pre-
cisely such speeches McKeou defended the
extreme Southern doctrine of States Rights ar
gued that secessoDism was sound political
principle, eulogized south Carolina for boldly
maintaining her independence, and attacked the
Government with unmeasured severity for daring
to enforce the authority of the Union. The
crowd that heard and applauded him, received
the name of the President of the United States
with bisses and blaspbemy, and waxed frantic
with delight when the Palmetto State was glori-
fed. This asseE1blsge, on the most crowded
tboroughfare IN the city, was unmoested, was
oermit.ed to poison the air with disloyslty, and
finally to dispense to gather fresh material for
another onslaught upon the life and liberty of
the nation
Aud vet the men who founded and affiliate
With this association tell US our Government ia
the most de.potic on earth The scoundrels
whose proceedings would not be tolerated for an
instant by Great Britain, the most liberal nation
in Europe, have the hsrdihood to talk about
s.arbitrary arrests" @
Brooks, who harangued the meeting We have
referred to, impudently complained of interfe.
renee with the freedom of the press, while bis
evening rag bag daily reeks with treason. We
hope and believe the day is not far distant when
these insolent traitors will be vigorously put
down. Beyond the injury resulting to the cause
of the Union, decent self respect demands that
the Government shall at least compel Northern
treason to hide itself and do its diaboical work
in darkness and in silence.-t Brooklyn Star.

I'VE have had a battle with Hind.

its duty. All Of the wounds. of nv

Of the body. I am proud ofmy success.
IN whipping my part Of tho enemy. and
losing few men.
Ofall the officers in the West. Gen.
Blunt has rendered himself the most
popular by reason Of his courage and
success. When in interview With Hind
man. the question of future operations
was presented. Gen. Blunt promptly
proposed to fgh. in thirty minutes,
This has made him equal to old Rough
and ready.

about forty five miles from Fl. Smith,

Important Facts.

Constan; writing for six months is done cheap

fore, It is economy to use Gold Pens.
The Gnld Pen remains unchanged BY years Of
continued use, while the Steel Pen is ever chang
ing by corrosion and wear; therefore, peri, Ct
uniformity Of wriiing % obtained only BY the use
Of the Gold Pen.
The Gold Pen is always ready and reliable,
and new one selected; therefore there is great
saving in time in the use Of the Gold Pen.
Gold is capable OF receiving any degree of elias
