Such is the programme that Eastern
republicans, who see their position and
comprehend their weakness, are taking.
They cannot successfully impugn the
patriotism OF the democratic party.
They can invent lies and make mlscol-
ored statements, but when tho matter
comes up before the people they give II
their disapproval, and as in Pennsylva>
MIA last fall, also in New York and h'o
or six other States, elect the straight
democratic ticket. Now, in order TO
improve the running qualities OF the
republican stock, the managers OF that
concern propose to introduce cross G
democratic mette. But it IS a trans
parent swindlc. No democrat who has
enough integrity OF purpose and the love
of country and constitution burning
brightly within his bosom, will ever join
tie republican abolition party. When
one does it il is because he is willing to

II this - Dlsloyalty"!

The following are tho closing para,
praphsof . speech delivered By Mr. VA
lsndigham in the House Of hepresns.
tivss near the close OF the late consi.
10 them he fairly states his position De-
fore the country:
We geek no revolution, except thro
,be ballot box. The conflict TO wnlch
we challenge you is not Of arms, but OF
argument. DO you helieve 10 the VIZ.
tue and intelligence Of the people DO
YOU admit their capacity for selfgovern-
ment? Have they not intelligence
enough to understand the right, and viz
tue enough to pursue it I Come, then,
meet US through the press and with free
speech, and before the assenblsge OF
the people, and We will argue these
questions As VIC and our fathers have
done from the beginning Of the govern
ment-' Are we right or you right, We
wrong or you wrong5' And by the
Judgment Of the people we will, one and
oil, abide.
II have spoken as though the Con-
stitution survived, and was still the su-
preme law OF tho land. But if, indeed,
there be no Constitution any longer,
limiting and restraining the man in
power, then there is none binding upon
tie States or the people. God forbid.
We have Constitution yet, and laws
vet To them ! appeal. Give US our
rights; give us known and fixed laws
give US the Judiciary arrest us only
upon due process Of law; give us pre-
sentiment or Indictment by grand jurles
speedy and public trial trial by jury
and at home; tell us the nature and
cause Of the accusation confront us
with witnesses allow us witnesses ID
our behalf, and the assistance OF counse
for our defence secure us IN our per
sons, our homes, our papers and oul
effects leave us arms, not tor resist
ance to law or against rightful authori-
ty, but to defend ourselves from outrags
and violence give US free speech and
free press the right peaeeably to as
semble; and, above all, tree and undls.
turbed elections and the ballot; take
our sons, take our money, our property
take all else, and we will wait little
till at the time and in the manner ap
pointed by constitution and law we shal
| eject YOU from the trusts you have
abused, and the seats OF power you have
dishonored, and other and better mer
! shall reign in your stead"

Another Republican BrOadsidc for the
Adm lnIstrAtiOn.

The New York Evening Post again
declares against the despotic policy Of
tho administration in snppressng free
dom Of speech. The following oatspeken
language we take from the Post OF the
10Th inst. 1t is able and conclusive, and
shows that there are some acts OF usurp-
alton and despotism in this admlnis,ra-
ton that even leading republican papers
cannot endorse, and 10 not hesitate TO
denounce. Read what the Post says ::
A cause so vital and grand as that of
constitutional liberty and the rights OF
the cit,zen-so indispensable to our re
publican system, and so dear, we may
add, TO the heart of every genuine Amer.
lean, whenever rightly presented to the
people, w,H rally them 10 its support,
mol IN hundreds nor by thousands, but
! By millions.
/ la the sentiments Of most Of these let.
tiers, and in the general tone of the res
olutions, which were read by Col. 5. ii.
Cone, the greater part OF tie public will
concur.
The resolutions alluded to are those
adopted by the Vallandigham indigna-
ton meeting held short time siuce in
New York city.
They say that the government has
fallen into great error, and committed
q fragrant wrong, in causing the arrest
and trial of Nallandigbsm by military
force, AND IL THAT, WE SUPPOSE, Two
THIRDS OF THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY WILL
AGREE. We can scarcely doubt, in
deed, that the government itseb will see
the proprlety OF reviewing the course Of
Gen. Burnslde, whose earnest patriotism
and uncompromising detcstation of
treason, whether in the bud or in the
dover, has introduced too peremptory
aud vigorous application Of military
law. Nothing is to be gained by the
suppress on OF such indiscreet and head
strong takers Of Nalandigham, whose
speeches really do good to the causc OF
/ The Union by the latitude Of his ayo~als
and confessions. whiie Tie principle as
suned N h,s arrest IS unfendbh IN itself,
dangerous in as tendencies, and IN ITS
effects provocative Of q hostility I, the
naturalization not icorM the ichile 10
encounter
In one sentiment generally expressed
by the speakers, and particularly by
Mr.. Godfrey Gunther, we cordially
unite. 1t was that "the Union cannot
be restored without freedom OF speech"

rate Of postage fixed by the new law,

To WHOM Loyalty Is DuE.-ln Q
mastery speech at the Indianapolis
Democratic Mass Convention, K. I.
Merrick, Esq, one OF the ablest speakers
of the country, said
We are told that wo owe loyalty to
this individual we have decorated with
the robes of office. We owe him not
as an individual, but as an officer, re.
spect, but we owe him no loyalty. Wo
owe owe loyalty to the sovereign. The
EnglishmAn owes loyalty to his Prince,
because the Sovereignty Of his country
glitters from the crown. The Russian
owes loyalty TO his Gar, because his is
despotic government, and the Car is
the representative Of despotism. But
Americans owe loyalty, not to men, but
to the Constitution and to the laws OF
the land. If loyalty here is in any re-
spect analogous to loyalty in England,
American loyalty is due to the people,
for they are the government. THIS 10y
atty is best subserved by fearless dis
charge Of your duty, regardless of dan
ger,-regardess of bayonets upon either
side Of your pathway, or Bastiles at
the end of it.

The Charleston Mercury Of May 18th,
thus describes the process Of raising the
guns OF the keokuk:
by order OF Gen. Ripley, Col. Alfred
Rhett on the 18th, after the departure
Of the irou-clad fleet, examined the
wreck, and reported the attainment Of
the guns practicable. Mr.. LaCoste, as
sisted by Adjt. Boy leston and dstach-
ment Of men from Fort Sumter, under
different lieutenants, have effected the
saving of these fine pieces of ordnance
with much trouble. Latterly the Keo-
kuk has been entirely submerged, and in
rough water. The turret had to be nm
bolted or unscrewed and taken of be-
fore the guns could be slung for removal.
This was an unpleasant oh OF some dit
fculty, the labor being performed under
water, when the sea was smooth and in
the night time only. Those engaged
in the undertaking, going in the small
boat OF tho fort, were sometimes pro-
tected from the enemy by the presence
of our gunboats; at other times not.
One gun was raised last week, being re-
moved bh the light house boat. Gen.
Ripley himself, night before last, went
down to superintend the removal Of the
second gun. Enterprise, even with scant
means, can accomplish much.

emphasis. At the last election, two years

votes. This year he is elected by ma
iority.over all of 5000. Thos. A. Jenckes,
Republican, is elected to Congress
from the Eastern District by about 1900
majority, carrying every town but one in
the District, and Nathan f. Dixon, Re-

CoppERHEADIsM REPUDIATED.-Wh What
ever NAV be the result of the election
which occurs to-day (Monday) in Connec-
ticut, it is gratifying fact at least to
know that the best men of the democratic
party IN that State have been, one after an
other, publicly repudiating the platform of
the Copperheads. Col. John I. Wait of
Norwich, one of the most influential Dem
ocrats in New London County, and David
Clark, Esq, and Hon. John G. Palmer OF
Hartford, men who have stood foremost III
the ranks of the Douglas Democrats, have
recently come out from the copperhead
party and expressed their determination to
support the Union ticket. The letter of
Mr.. Palmer in the Hartford Post, express
Is the opinions of the loyal democrats OF
Connecticut in brief. He says;

late Democratic State Convention and ITS
nominations and platform will not receive
