SBeThe Union men of New Orleans do not
speak to those who are opposed to the Union
and the Constitution as rebels or secessionsts,
but as the democrats A democrat thdre is u
man opposed to the government. That is
precisely the distinguishing characteristic OF a
Northern abolitionist,
sp- Bro. Stckncy's paper is very, very
bright but thea that is the way they make
Sunrise in Aroostook 1t is good thing to
be born far in the East Down here where
we don't get the Sunrise till the middle of the
afternoon, we expect to get our ideas strange
ly mixed up.
Sg~People frequently speak of the suspen-
sion of the writ of habeas corpus in the case
of Vallandigham. This is an error. No writ
of habeas corpus was Issued in his favor. 1t
was asked for, but an old democratic judge,
after patiently hearing the case, refused to
grant one.
sBrWe received pleasant call yesterday
from Bro. LITTLEFIELD, the well-known edi-
are expressed with more freight than those of
any editor in the state. He has more patriotic
blood in his veins than ordinary loyal men,
and every drop of that blood boils at the
thought of copperheads and traitors
lg- At the session of the Grand Lodge of
Odd Fellows held at Baltimore last week. there
were no reports from the Grand Lodges of
Virginia, North Carolina. South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, New Mexico,
and the British North American Provinces
The reports from other States aud Territories
show that they contain 1859 subordinate
lodges, with 132, 170 members
lg-The Advertiser virtually upbrads us
because OF late we have taken no more notice
of its principal editor Really, we did not
know he was above ground; we knew that he
was buried on the 14th beyond reasonable hope
of recovery, and we are disposed to allow the
dead to take care Of its dead Nor are we
now satisfied that he is alive. The verdict of
the people is that "he is no more" Until we
have more truthful evidence to the contrary
than his own word affords or the language of
his paper, we shall believe the people, and con-
slider and treat him as dead man.
aVRev. Mr.. Bond of Cherryfield, being
about to leave the place to which he first
moved forty years ago, gave parting address
a few evenings since in which he refreshed the
memories OF the aged and enlightened the
young in regard TO the town when he first
came there. Nearly all who greeted him then
have fallen asleep, although few remain unto
this day. At the close Of his address. Messrs.
Freeman and Millken made a few earnest and
feeling remarks, and resolutions were offered
expressing the confidence and esteem of the
people of Cherryfield for their old friend and
Minister, their heartfelt prayer for the happi-
ness and prosperity of himself and family in
all coming time, which was adopted by the
simultaneous rising of the whole crowded au-
dience.
yr The Argus sees no difference between
discharging mechanic from his work for no
fault but difference in political sentiments,
and discharging an officer of the Government
for using his official influence to embarrass
that oo'c'hhcut' Its stoIy apout LII. Eagerly
is a falsehood. He was not discharged for
being democrat or for voting the democratic
ticket. He was discharged for neglecting the
business which Government had sent him to
perform, that he might attend to the business
of copperhead campaign. The Government
does right to turn our unfaithful officers who
labor or vote to strengthen the hands of the
enemy. When an employer finds one of his
workmen laboring to create disorder in his
workshops and to excite opposition to his
plans, he is a fool if he does not discharge him
at once.
