Extract from n Speech Delivered
in Congress, Feb. ,, by MOR.
WIm. Allen, a Democrat, from
Ohio. ...... ..... ....
The people of the Northwest have
ever been, are now, and will remain, for
the Union first, last and all the time |;
but when that Union is forever broken
it will be their duty to take care of them.
selves That holy hatred which New
England "bigots" have attempted to in-
fuse into the minds Of our people against
those of slave States is not deep.rooted
enough to prevent US from establishing
advantageous commercial relations With
the people of the seeded States if mu
tual political relations should even lie
impossible. Neither is our love for New
England so great that we will sacrifice
our own interests to Advance hers. |
hope no such contingencies as those to
which l have adverted may ever arise,
but that tne people of all sections of this
country may again unite under one con-
stitution and one flag
trust, however, | will be excused for
the slight reference have made to our
pl obable future relation, since the sub.
ject of foreign mediation has been broac6-
ed by leading journalist of the Admin
iStration party, one who, from his past
intimacy with the powers that be, might
be supposed to speak upon authority
and since the leader of the party in this
House, Mr. STEVENS, as we'll as the
distinguished gentleman from Kansas
Mr.. CONWAY, has assumed the posi-
ton that the seeded States are already
''in fact and in law" out of the Union
neither owing allegiance to it nor enti
tied to protection from it; such being
once admitted as the status of these
States by the party, as | have no doubt
it will be-for the gentleman from Penn
sylvania has well said that he is alway,
in advance of his party who are sure tc
follow-there will nothing remain to bt
done by it but agree upon the terms o
separation. l am inclined to think tht
position of these gentlemen will be the
platform of the party upon which "tc
render separation easy"
But the people of the Northwest viii
oppose separation to the last; they ar
not in favor of the separation of sin
gle State from the Union-not even thei
erring sisters, Massachusetts, and Soutl
Carolina. They have poured out thei
blood and their treasure to maintain th,
bond which binds the States together
and they do not desire that all tho sac
rifces which they have made shall result
in the destruction Of the Union whicl
they have been struggling to preserve
And until the fanaticism which rules th
hour has destroyed all hope of reconcile
alton and reunion, they will cling to thi
Union as the unfortunate mariner cling
to the last wreck of the laundering yes
sell Until all hope of reconstruction
has vanished, their motto will be: "Th,
Union as it was, under the Constitution
as it is."

An Stem Every Man ShOuId
Read

We have probably all Of US met with
instances, in which word heedlessly
spoken against the reputation Of fe-
male has been magnifed by malicious
minds until the cloud has become dark
enough TO overshadow her whole exist
ence. TO those who are accustomed
not necessarily from bad motives, but
from thoughtlessness-to speak lightly
of females, we recommend the following
"hints" as worthy of consideration
Never use lady's name in an i'm
proper place, at an improper time, or in
mixed company. Never make assertions
about her that you think are untrue, or
illusions that you feel she herself would
blush to hear. When you meet with men
who do not scruple to make rse Of wo-
mans name in reckless and unprinci-
pied manner, shun them, for they are the
very worst memb Of community-men
lost to every sense Of honor, every feel
ing of humanity. Many a good and
worthy young lsdy's character has been
forever ruined and her heart broken by
LIE, manufactured by some villain, and
repeated where it should not have been,
and in the presence Of those whose little
judgement could not deter them from
circulating the foul and Dragging report.
y slander is soon propagated, and the
smallest thing derogatory to a woman s
character will fly on the wings of the
wind, and magnify as it circulates until
its enormous weight crushes the poor and
unconscious victim. Respect the name
of woman, for yonr mothers and sisters
are women; and as you would have their
fair name untarnished, and their lives un
embittered by the slanderer's bitter tongue
heed the i'll that your own words may
bring upon the mother. the sister, or the
wife of some fellow creature"

8. Long SDeeeIl.

On one Of those memorable days when
the Kansas Nebraska Bill was being de-
bated, Senator Seward tapped Douglas
on the shoulder, and whispered in his car
that he had some Bourbon" in the SEN
ators' private room, which was twenty
years old, and upon it he tried to get
Douglas judgement. The Little Giant
declined, stating that he meant to speak
in few moments. and wished his brain
uncouded by the fumes of liquor A,
the conclusion of his speech Douglas
sank down exhausted in his chair, hardly
conscious of the congratulations of those
who f0cked around him. At this iunct-
ure, Seward siezed the orators arm, and
bore him off to the Senatorial sanctum.
Here's the Bourbon, Douglass" said
Seward; "try some-it's sixty years old"
"Seward. remarked Douglas, Il have
to-day made the longest speech ever de-
livered; history has no parallel for it,"
"IIow is that?" rejoined Seward. 'you
spoke about two hours only"
douglas, smiling, replied
"Don't you recollect that a moment
before l obtained the floor, you invited
me to partake of some Bourbon twenty
years old, and now, Immediately after
closing my remarks, you extend to me
some of the same liquor, with the asser-
ton that it is sixty years old forty
years speech was never delivered before.
Seward acknowledged the "corn," and
the two enemies politically "smiled. ,

"CoIning events east their shua-
Ows before"

1t is worthy Of attention that resolu-
tion submitted by Mr.. Wood in Congress,
suggesting tho appointment Of three
Comm ssloners 10 open negotiations with
the au borities at Richmond with view
to peace and Union, was tabled by large
vote. 1t is equally significant, that reso-
lutious offered by Messrs. Holman and
Finck to the effect that the war is not one
Of subjugation, were laid over, while tho
Abolition bills which leveled the vandal
axe at the Constitution and laws OF the
country were duly referred to the aprro-
pirate committe for consideration.
Unhappily for the nation there are va
rious indications that those who bave been
so long in breaking to pieces the bonds
that bind us together a. people are re-
solved to consummate the business in the
present Congress. The conservative ele-
ment in that body can only protest, but
all its appeals will fall upon ears shut to
every consideration OF honor and patriot
ism. The remaining hope Of the Ameri-
can people is in the speedy success of our
arms, and the civil reaction which shall
signify tslf in the North in the next en-
suing gyear.-IIoinde0ier.

From the Mahoning Ohio Sentinel.
a Modern Titus Oates.

The Pittsburg Chronicle, an Abolition
paper, says that Newcomer, the detec-
tive upon whose evidence Mr. Cathcart
and several Cincinnati Washerwomen
were arrested and are now imprisoned for
high treason, ETC., is penitentiary con-
vict, who after serving long term in the
Pennsylvania State Prison, got out and
committed q rape on an innocent girl
and is now badly wanted in Pennsyl Iva
MIA to respond to an indictment for the
offence. The Chronicle also denounces
him as a scoundrel and perjurer. whose
oath is wholly unworthy of belief. This
is the wretch who is taken into the bosom
of the Abolition church, petted and fiat
tered and paid for detecting a conspiracy
which, no doubt be himself first sugges-
ted to the other parties, in order to en-
trap them and make money out of them.
Yet according to Abolition papers, and
their blind and fanaticsl followers, if a
man refuses to believe this Newcomers
story or swallow it as gospel truth, he is
a traitor and sympathiser who ought to
be hung. Is there any limit to this furi-
GUS and fanatical folly ? In order to be
a thoroughly loyal Abolitionist man
must not only be credulous fool, but a
patron of convicts and bottle holder to
the public eXecutioner.
AS we said last soring, the year of Ii
tus Oateses has only commenced. Ev-
cry county will soon have its Oates, and
every township his followers, who will
hatch conspiracics and institute persecu-
tions, until there will be no security for
innocence, no protection for anybody
The moro infamous man, the more
readily his tale of treason will be believed
until we progress backward to that puri
tanical and bigoted time when they burn,
ed old women for witches, and human in
telligencs was SO darkened by intolerance
that it did the work and bidding OF the in
fernal world.

crying for help, get up and put your
shoulder to the wheel, and try to got
your cart out"
Let the Democratic party buckle on
their armor and prepare for the campaign
Of 1864. Let every man feel that he is
a host in himself and that the respon
sibility Of defeat or victory rests on his
endcavors, and the triumph Of sound
Dem ocratic principles will follow. 'ris
true we have a strong opposition. IT'S
true that the Administration can com
mand Influences never at the disposal OF
any former one. IT'S true that it has
tools, in the shape of public officers, in
every State, county and neighborbood
and these men hate the Democratic party
with perfect hatred. Numbers OF them
are renegade Democrats, who, for con.
sideration, have sold themselves to dc
the dirty work of the administration, and
there is nothing too low or mean for
these men. They are INSCRIPTIONS, and
will leave no stone unturned. Theii
great idea is the destruction of the Dem
ocratic party.
The administration has money and
bayonets, and will not hesitate to use
either or both in order to carry out theil
designs. Notwithstanding all this. sue.
cess is within reach of the Democratic
party. Let us "pick the flint and try il
again" 1t will require earnest worl,
from earnest men, and nothing but work
will insure success.
1t is useless to theorize. we need some.
thing practical, and we now propose
that Immediately, in every township ir
the county, there be a thorough organi
cation of the party, and that the leading
men in every community identify them
selves with such organizations, and inter
est themselves in seeing that good sounC
Democratic documents are circulated
amond the people.
We have year yet in which to work
and in that time much can be accom-
plished. "Up, guards, and at them"

TrniEOrS.

Not long since lady residing in the
State OF New York, while en- route for
Toledo to visit friend, met in our. de-
pot the lady whom she was wishing to
see.
Luckily the latter lady was on her way
home, and thus the two travelled the re-
mainder Of the journey together. Dur
ing the trip the following conversation
CHANGED to arise
Toledo Lady--9Ave you any coop
perhead" Democra in New York ?
New York Lady-Well, no, none that
ever heard of.
Toledo-Have you any "Butternuts"
or Secessionists" there
New York; think not. never
heard anything about them; but perhaps
they are known by some other name.
Toledo-Well, have you any traitors
in your section
New York-Traitors Oh. yes. plen-
ty Of them; but we call them by differ
ent name in New York.
Toledo-And what do you call them ?
New York-We call them Addition
lists there
The Toldo lady was perfectly dumb
founded by this reply, and had nothing
more to say,
From that time until arriving in Tole-
do the subject af "Copperheads" and
Traitors" was totally eschewed.

The DcsOiatiOn Ofthc South.

A cotemporary publishes the follow
ing description of the misery produced
in the South, written by lady. whose
name, it is stated, would guarantee her
patriotism and truthfulness:
The desolation of the Southern States
beggars description. Destitution and
poverty have taken the place of opulcnce
and prosperity. Men that were worth
hundreds OF thousands of dollars are
reduced to utter poverty AS for the
luxuries of life, formerly SO abundant in
the South, there are none. Those who
were formerly the wealthiest have moth.
ing to sustain life but what the country
affords, and not enough of that, for by
impressmcnt it is taken from them fo
the army. Their garments, even thei
shoes, the families have to make them
selves; they spin, weave and dye. the
cotton. Tea, coffee and sugar are not tt
be had; milk ana water are their only
beverages; Indian corn is their principal
food. The families are broken up and
ruined. You seldom meet with a male
inhabitant and if you do, he is either
infrm or cripple. A large portion OF
the male population are killed in battle
many more crippled for life many patri
otic Uncn men died of broken heart
What remain are in the army or in the
employ of the Government. Neverthe.
less, press gangs cross the country in all
directions in search of men for the army
All ties of social life are completely dis
solved. No courts of justice and equity
are held-justice is meted out by the
military. Universities, colleges, and
schools are all suspended. The country
in many places resembles wilderness
Wherever the armies march, there every
thing is ruined-the crops destroyed
fences burned, trees cut down, domestic
animals killed, robbed or taken for the
army. But whatever the Southern peo.
pie may suffer, they bear it with rssg-
nation; they have little hope of success
Under the impending Congressional and
Presidential measures, their leaders
deem it impossible to surrender at dis
cretion, and arc resolved to persist t.
utter destruction"

What the Abolition Movement
has Accomplished,

The New York Herald, in noticing the
article of tie New York IriJune tracing
the connections between the organization
of the Alb olition societies in the North in
1888 and the present condition of the
country says;
"What these one hundred thousand
Aboltionists have accomplished may be
briefly stated in very few words. They
hvve accomplished the present war. They
have worked for it thirty years, and here
it is. They have wrecked a powerful,
peaceful and happy country. They have
arrayed brother against brother, father
against son, children against parents
They have filled the land with widows
and orphans. They have transformed the
country into vast graveyard. They have
shed an ocean of blood and squandered
mountains of money. They have made
the air heavy with the cries of the wond-
ed and the groans of the dying, and the
lamentations of the mourners. They
have devastated the fields and plantations
of the South, and destroyed IL G commerce
of tho North. They have given check
to civilization and democratic institutions
which it will take years to recover. AL
this they have accomplished in thirty
years. One hundred thousand fends lie
loose from the lowest hell and inspired by
the most internal malice could not have
accomplished more mischief in tie same
space of time. 1t this be any thing tC
rejoice over let the Aboltiouists rejoice
II they desire to raise monument te
perpetuatc the Remembrance OF their tri
umphs, our battle fields will furnish them
with enough human skulls for pyramid,
and Wendell Phillips or Beecher would
be only too happy to deliver the address
at the laying of .he corner skull"
