Loynlty then ana Now.

The friends Of the Administration brand
every man as a traitor that contends that the
Constitution is amply sufficient to suppress
the rebellion aud re.essert the majesty OF the
Aw-that the military should be made sab
servient to the civil power--that the accused
has right to a speedy and impartial trial by
his peers-that the people sholld be secure
in their persons and property-that no one
shall be deprived Of life, liberty Or property,
without due process Of law-that no law shall
be made abridging freedom OF speech or free
dom of the press. Such language as this is
deemed traitorous by the Shoddy patriots of
to-day; and yet strange to say, we can find it al
most word for word in the platform of the
Aboltionists who nominated Fremont, in Phil
adelphia, in 1856. This platform was adopted
by the very men who are to-day denouncing
the Democracy as TRAITORS and "copper"
heads" 1t seems that what was the highest
type of "loyalty' then, is "disoyaliy' now
Here is the resolution
ResolDed, That while the Constitution Of
the United States was ordained aud establish
ed by the people, in order to form a more per.
feet union, establish justice, insure domestic
tranquility provide for the common defense,
aud secure the blessing of liberty, and contains
ample provisions for the protection OF the life,
liberty, and property of every citizen, the
dearest constitutional rights of the people of
Kansas have been lraudulently aud violently
taken away from them-their territory has
been invaded by an armed force-spurous
aud pretended legislative, judicial and execu-
tive officers have been set over them, by whose
usurped authority, sustained By the military
power of government, tyrannical and unoon-
stltutlonal laws have been enacted and en-
forced-the rights Of the people 10 keep and
bear arms have been iniringed-test oaths OF
an extraordinary and entangling nature have
been imposed rs q condition of the right of
suffrage Or holding olce-the right Of an ac-
cuSed person TO a speedy and public trial
| by an impartial jury has been denied-the
right of the people 10 be secure in their per-
sons, homes, papers, and effects against un-
reasonable searches and seizures has been
piOIated,- they have been deprived Of life,
liberty and property without the due process
of law-that the freedom of speech and Of the
press has been abridged--the right to choose
their representatives has been made of no eff
fect-murders, robberies, arsons have been in
stigated and encouraged aud the offenders
have been allowed to go unpunished-th all
these things have been done with the knowl-
edge, sanction and procurement of the pres
ent administration and that for this high
crime against the Constitution, the Union,
and humanity, we arraign the administration,
the President, his advisers, agents, support
ers apologists and accessories, either before
or after the facts, before his country, and be-
fore the world; and that it is our fixed pur-
pose to bring the perpetrators of these afro
cious outrages, and their accomplices, to a
sure and condign punishment hereafter"

The CIeyeIand Bar vs.. Judge
CO1HinbeFry,

The silly attempt of few Abolition mem
bers of the Cleveland Bar to get up feeling
against Judge CoFFINBERRY, because he voted
the Democratic ticket at the late election, and
thus force him to resign, proved complete
failure. The hotheaded participants in the
contemplate undertaking have failed to in
jure the reputation, integrity and high stand
ing of Judge CoFFINBERRY, and have made
for themselves very unenviable reputation
among honorable, high-minded gentlemen
everywhere The Plaindealer thus alludes
to the finale Of their action:
The Coliinberry Bar Meeting can hardly be
said to have been like DR.. Johnson's allegory
of Rasellas, "A conclusion wherein nothing
is concluded" although the Cleveland Herald,
with its customary uniairness, endeavors to
convince the public that the adoption of Mr.
Willey's substltude, was substantially the
same as the adoption of the resolution Of Mr.
Stetson. This IS pretty smart for the Herald,
but 1t is too transparent fraud to deceive any
one. The oensorious report of Committee,
who had already prejudged the case, was
thrown overheard, and it was really decided
bv the bar that the political opinions and
uotes of a member of the Bar or Judiciary
did not concern them in the least in short,
that it was none of their business how a mem
Der of their profession voted
We regard this action of the legal profess
sion here as highly creditable tu the good
sense and judgment of the fraternity Law

hostile to the character OF the age, its cvili-
cation, and its catholic tendencies Of thought
and action That the Bar of this county has
turned its back upon the days of Governor

An Idea of Faith.

A female teacher of a school that stood on
the bank Of a stream, wished to communi-
cate to her pupils an idea of faith. While
she was trying to explain the meaning of the
word, small boat glided in sight along the
stream. Selling upon the incident for an il
lustration, she exclaimed
"lf were to tell you that there was a leg of
mutton in that boat, you would believe me,
would you not, without ever seeing it your
self ~
"Yes, ma am, replied the scholars
"Well, that is faith, said the school mis-.
tress
The next day, in order to test their recol-
lection Of the lesson she inquired
'What is faith p
I" A leg Of mutton in boat |" was the an.
swer, shouted from all parts OF the school
room.

From Che Boston Commercial HulleHn1
swift Vessels OF war for IhS
NAVY

Navy.
The Navy Department is playing one of its
old lodges. Those who are interested ia
commerce are well aware that every time we
receive accounts of the dspredations Of the
British pirates, the Navy Department is all
alive with propositions to have swift vessels Of
war built forthwith. Advertisements follow
each other in rapid succession, and the peo-
pile at large are led to believe that something
will be done soon. and well done, too, for they
have read OF it in the papers
Last June advertisements we're issued for
swift vessels of war--the proposals were
promptly answered by some of our oldest
mechanics, but now after four months the
department has concluded to build the vessels
itself; so all the expenses of advertising, and
all the trouble to our mechanics in respond
ing, are lost
The recent advices from the Cape of Good
Hope have stirred up the department again,
and now it has issued orders to the naval con-
structors at New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and Portsmouth to prepare for the construc-
ton OF twelve fast steam corvettes--three in
each yard These vessels wi each be over
two thousand tons burthen, and carry some
fifteen or twenty guns. They are TO possess
great speed 1t is said that the engines of
these vessels will be very powerful, their
cylinders measuring seventy inches, which
will give them a speed of fifteen or sixteen
miles an hour. Their hulls are to be shaped
for rapid movement, and everything about
them constructed with view to speed.
Now we will venture prediction that not
one of these vessels will be at sea eighteen
months hence, and during that time, if our
war is not brought to close, the rebel and
their British allies will have driven our foreign
commerce from the seas--have broken up our
whaling and fishing business, and have made
even the coasting trade precarious And all
for want Of common energy in our Navy
Department just look at its stupidity, to
use no harsher terms; it has taken its mag
mates twO years to discover that the nation
requires swift vessels of war to protect its
commerce

[From the Richmond whig, October 10
Gen. Magruder.

Some persons may think that tho account
from the trans-Mississippi, which represents
that Magruder defeated twelve thousand OF
the enemy, destroying and capturing several
gunboats, and taking 3S5 prisoners, all with
only ~ men, mostly Irish" is little extrav-
agant. 1t may seem SO, but it would not be
safe to reject it on that account Itwas never
ascertsined exactly how fast Eclipse could
run; he beat every horse run against him so
easily, that he was never put up to his fall
speed. So it has not yet been aseertained what
disproportion OF numbers between his own and
the enemys forces would render it impossible
for Magruder to win victory At Bethel
with four or five hundred men, he routed the
enemy with four or five thousand, and lost one
man. At Yorktown, with about seven thou
sand five hundred men, he kept Mcclellan at
bay with over a hundred thousand, until John
stou could arrive with his army of Manassas.
At Galveston he rugged up some fishing smacks
and attacked a squadron of men.ofwar, cap.
turing, destroying, and dispensing all before
him. Now, with forty-two men, he routs an
army Of twelve thousand-and as if to add to
the marvellousness Of the performance, he does
it after he is dead, for we have positive and
strictly reliable information from the Yankees
that he was assasinated some time ago, at
Galveston, by a lieutenant

have persisted in styling themselves "con-
servative Republicans" been told three
years ago that in this short time they
would be on the same platform with

men of the same sentiments as those
named, and they cannot deny it but had
they been told at the beginning of this war
that they would consent to the abolition OF
slavery in the District of Columbia, to the
recognition of Hayti and Liberia, and the
reception of negro ministers from those
governments on the same terms as other
foreign ministers, and finally to the en-
dorsement of an Abolition proclamation
as a party test, they would have exclaim-
ed-'Is thy servant dog that he should
do these things?"

II VIII Come.

A special dispatch from Cincinnati to
the Chicago Times says:
"Our business men are beginning to talk
loudly of the probabilities Of financial panic
and explosion, and butfew are disposed to re-
tyin in possession any amount of money. All
parties believe that "bust up must come,
and no party wants to be caught under the
ruins of the wreck
No man, who Is not financially blind,
can fail to see that financial crash, une-
qualed by anything of the kind that ever
before transpired in this country, is brew
ing, and will ere long burst upon the
country with sweeping destruction. 1t is
not possible that it can be otherwise.
There will be "rattling among the dry
bones" when it does come. The legal
tender clause will be virtually swept away
before it like a myth.

Inquiry appointed to take evidence in the
case of the rout and capture of General Mil

June last, place the responsibility for that

General Bob Schenck, Of Dayton, 1t seems,
from the evidence laid before the Court, that
our Vienna hero was Mlroy's superior in
command, and that instead of giving Milroy
such orders as Halecks instructions requir,
ed he absolutely required Milroy to remain in
Winchester until the near approach of the reb

DI0US WILLIAMS, in the 5th year of his age.
How frequently arc VIC called upon to mourn
the loss Of departed friends. God in his Infinite
mercy hsth 60 constituted US, that We weep with
those that weep, and rejoicc with these that do
rejoice. Notwithstanding our land is in comtno-
ton, and afiic,inns abound. yet in addition to this
our Heavenly Father, sends Death. into our very
midst, and removes from our fond embrace the
object so calculated to inspire us with joy, aud
with happiness. The dearest ones of earth are
taken from us, to teach US that the blessings Of
earth are insecure.
Our dslr little CLAuD is no more. He WINS cut
down in tho morning Of life. He is gone TO be
an angel in the far better regions of glory aud
light. Scarcely had our darling little flower
bloomed, when it was tran planted around the
shining throne of God. There it will be cared
for. and nourished by the Eternal, and in that
happy land its beauty shall increase and its love-
illness shall endure.
This little flower had scarcely bloomed,
Had scarcely shed It's fragrance ser,
When death removed it to the tomb,
And babe it bloom on earth no more.
Dear Mother your little flower ID blooming in
n genial cline, md never during tho reign Of
Christ, shall angels pluck this fowsret again. Dry
up your tears. May your Father in heaven give
you grace to sustain you under this sad beIeavo-
ment. Ny d.ar Sister bumbly acquiesce in the
divine will. and exclaim, the Lord gave, aad the
Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name Of the
Lord. X. w. s.
