an -Infamous .order.

Gen. Milroy has issued an order assessing
taxes on z~citizens of Virginia, and in defaull
of payment, the taxrcollcctors are ordered as
fopoxs 5aE eS o. s1tH W@H 7s
cs"Tou kro to burn their houses, seize all
their property and shoot them. You will be
sure that you strictly carry out this order"
This is a new way to make friends of the
Union but as it comes from an abolition can.
.nibal, it is not to be considered horrible or
wrong!i There is some probability of adolf
~tionists soon sending the country to tbe lowest
depth of infamy and disgrace.

speech of DR.. o1ds.

We call attention to. the speech of DR.. Olds
made in the House. of Representatives GU
"Arbftrary Arrests" The Abolitionists by
occurring DIR. Olds' arrest last summer, unwit-
tingly and unintentionally did the State a great
service. But for them the Doctor would now
be at home quietly attending to his private af-
fairs and his valuable service in the Legis.a,
ture would have been lost ri zssa1
We have-only space to call attention to one
point in this speech, which stands out rromi
nently, and that is, where he quotes from Mr.
Wolcott, il the celebrated negro trials in Ohio
a few years since, This Wolcott was then the
abolition Attorney Generel of the State, and
the now Secretary Chase as Governor. Vol.
colt was then pleading for negro freedom and
the application of the writ of habcas corpus
to runaway slaves Read carefully his re-
marks. In 1862 he is found at Washington
as an Assistant Secretary of War; Selling
phite men without warrant, and in the dark
hours of the night, dragging them FROM home
from the Statc-and without trial or a hear
ing of anyakind, and in denial of this writ of
Aabeas corpus, {read again what he says) and
aiucaroerating them IN solitary conference.-the
.Bastiles--for weeks, for months, not permit
ting intercoursesof any kind with the outer
world ias lFells.t -
What DO these things mean? Tho people
of Fairfield county have given their opinion
of it by electing one object of this persecu-
ton and terrorism to a seat in our Legis!a 'ure!
We shall publish what is really the cl6sing
part of this speech in our rext, which will be
found rich in historical cords Crisis.

Incipicnt Abolition Revolution in
Illinois.

The Illinois State Senate, in session at
Springfield, the State Capital, was without a
quorum on Saturday-tEe Republican or Abo-
lition minority having deserted their seats on
Friday, and several of them having left the
city. They deserted their seats on Friday up
on the passage of a. resolution for a recess of
the Legislature from the 18th inst. to the first
Tuesday in june. The pretense for this bolt
ing on the part of the Abolition Senators is
said to be to prevent the passage of resolutions
In favor of an armistice and a National Con-
%vention.
A similar scene was enacted in the House
of Representatives on Saturday, which is thus
described by a correspondent of the Chicago
Times, under date of Springfield, Feb. 7:
4 scene similar Utmost respects to that in
the Senate yesterday was enacted in the House
this afternoon, over the passage of the rcsolu-
ton for a recess. The Republicans did not
come in, and had to be arrested by the Door
keeper on a warrant from the House. a stor-
my session ensued, but the resolution finally
passed, several Republicans fatty refusing to
vote. Some of them openly declared this to
be the last session of the Legislature but they
may conclude to return to their senses, as no
apHrnHriationr ha8saa>|vtpnsse and / think
they dare not close up our benevolent insutu-
tions for the sake of their miserable party in
terests. I am inclined to the opinion that they
will return by Tuesday, and make a final effort
to get the appropriations bills through, which
will not be allowed, unless they attend to other
most terrible responsibility that ever rested
upon men will be theirs. The Democrats will
not concede an iota of their rights, or give an
inch in compromise. They demand an uncon-
ditional return 10 duty, and that all measures
shall take the chances of fair legislation.

narrow, assumptiyc and dogmatic, hostile to

policy it Is said is based on an IDEA, that of

who urge it, hold up all other communities as
being false to it who do not come up to the
New England embodiment of it-for thi3, to
hold up individuals of ether States as barba,

The New England Extortione


at the time the, West is being ground down
with taxes for the war, selling produce at ruin
ouslJ low prices, and paying extortionate rates
for dry goods, the New England manufactures
arc getting along finely, and making almost
fabulous profits. The semi=annual dividends
Of the mar ufacturing companies are monst1ous.
The Naunkeag Company has paid &c per cent.
fer the last six months; the Bates Company
As per cent, and other Companies, from 10 to
80 per cent. That is, the stakeholder in the
Naumkeag Company who OWNS 500 worth of
stock receives for the use of his money during
Ithe. last six months sirty sic doHars-equai to
one hundred and thirty-tNo per cent. per
cent per, year! No wonder. etEe Abolitionists
of New England are clamorous fer a continu-
arree of the war-they find it profitable. But
while sport for them, it is death to us in the
West. With such proftr as these companies
are making, they ought surely to let US have
goods at lower prices, and not extort the last
cent from the suffering farmers of the West.
Next to putting an end to this war, a modif
cation of the tariff would be the most efica-
Ieious method to reach these extortioners. and
compel them to reduce their prices.-NorM
