Questions for the Union Lea
guers.

are you ready to swear true allegiance
to the Constitution as it stands?
DO you believe that it is the supreme
law OF the land, and as Ich deserves TO be
defended by every citizen in itl
are you Tor the restoration Of tie Union,
with or without slavery?
10 case the slave States should cffer 10
return to their allegiance, with their insti-
buttons unimpared, will you consent to re-
ceive them?
Do yon believe that the Supreme Court
is the highest judicial bydy in the nation
and that Its decisions are final?
Ii such is the fact, are not all citizens
who reiuse to acquiesce in its verdicts, re-
ally enemies OF their country!
who are the true friends ofthe Union
those who desire tn bold our public officers
to strict responsibility for their acts. who
sustain the laws until they are pronounced
unconstitutional by tie proper authority.
who denounce theits upon the treasury.
and are for carrying on the Government as
1t was conducted byWashington, Jefferson,
and Jackson--or those who sheer at the
Constitution, violate laws they do not like,
encourage corruption, and uphold the lille
gal measures 0! Federal officers?
Is opposition to an Administration trea-
son to the Government?

dents jackson, Pierce. Buchanan, and
other Democratic Chief Magistrates, "trai-
tors?"

successful at the next Presidential election.
and some statesman whom you do not like,
as for instance, Gov. Seymour, Gen. Nc
Clenan, Mr.. Bigler, VallandighaU, or Fer
nando Wood, Is cur next Chief Magistrate,
will you give him as cordial support as
you do Mr.. Linc;ln?
The answers given to these questions
will readily enable any one to decide who
is an honest friend of the Union, and who
is not. We would advise our readers to cut
them out, and whenever one of the class
who boast oil the loyalty in the country, is
heard setting up their Pharisacal claims,
to put him to the test. 1t will soon be
found whether be is what he Processes, or
only a bigoteG partizan adhereut, who
knows no more Of what constitutes true
patriotism than the feeblest child.

Negro Soldiers

The sweet influence of faith and hama

Three small walls were given to each

The soldiers and people aocked around the

And the experience of almost every person
can furnish facts of q similar extraordinary
character.
For example, the hands are covered with
warts. You try acids, caustic, and the &C.
tual cautery, but with no benefit. The old
one grows out again, and new ones are
coming They are uncomfortable and hid

you were assured was q mere furmality.
AS to expecting a cure, you probably quite

The physical appearance of man some.

A case occurred few days ago in this
city.
The children Of two neighbors had their
daily quarrels and Sights, which resulted
occasionally in bruised faces and torn gar

his children to have been sadly rnaItreated,
and being passionate man, concluded that
the surest way to settle the differences be-

be to cbastise the head Of the other family,

Power OF GENYLENEss.-No bad man is
ever brought to repentance by angry words;
by bitter scornful reproaches. He fortifes
himself against reproof, and bur!s back
foul charges in the face Of ho accusser.-
Yet guilty and hardened so be seems, he
has heart in bis bosom, and may be melt.
ed to tears by gentle voice. whatsoever,
therefore, can bring himself down to a
fallen brother will soon find a way to bet.
ter feelings within. Pity and patience are
the two keys which unlock the human
heart. They who have been most success.
full labortrs among the poor and vicious,
have been the most fOrbearing. Said the
celebrated st. Vincent &c Paul, If it has
pleased heaven to employ the most misera-
bic of men for the conversion Of some
souls, they have themselves confessed that
1t was by the patience aud sympathy which
he had for them. Even the eonvicts, among
whom l have lived, can be gained in no
other way. When l have kissed their
chains, and showed compassion for their
distress, and keen sensIbility for their dis
grace-then have they listened to me, and
placed themselves in the way of salvation. .
