"Let Us leave that tree Just as it was"
Yes, all except the worm. TApplaasc, |
The Union as it was. Yes, as it was
in the egg, in the intentions Of those
men that founded it; in the intent Of
the Constitution; as it was to have
been and would have been but for
burglarious Slavery. But we have
dIifted far from the Union rs it was.
When the shipmGster, tossed by storms
days and nights, knows not where he
is, and at last the clouds break and the
sweet sunshine comes forth, shall any
man say TO him, "go search for the
spot where you dcviated from the
track and start over again from that
place r No; but he shall take
fresh observation from the sun and 90
on his course by the shortest way.
We set out for the haven of universal
liberty, and by the storms Of intestine
Slavery we have beeu drifted far out
Of our course but at last the skies
are clear, and now shall we 60 back
or shall we take fresh observation
from clouds and gor' Of liberty, and
take the shortest path to the haven.
That is the question to Us. / know
what the answer will be- We shall
not turn aside. Burdens we have yet
to bear, losses we have Yet to feel,
sorrows will vet wiring our hearts,
sons must yet fall in the battle and be
lowered in the grave, martys to lib
erty; but as the grave closes over Sons
so priceless We will not be bribcd by
anything on earth; We will have liz
c"ty on this continent from the lakes
to the gulf-liberty, liberty that will
smooth every grave, comfort every
heart, q reward in death, and in the
smiles Of men we shall see the out
shining Of Gods smile, and there shall
be great peace because of purity and
liberty. God bless the Union and
make it free!
/ At the conclusion Of his speech
the following resolutions We're adopted
"ReSo,ced That the bold, the prus
dent, the fearless, and gentle course
pursued by Henry Ward Beecher in
his recent encounters with an adverse
public sentiment in England. has re-
ceived the general appreciation ofhis
countrymen, and deserves the admi-
ration and gratitude Of every manly
and patriotic heart in the nation.
J "Resolred, That such substantial and
lasting services abroad arc possibly
only for those who have ripencd into
strength Of fame through patient la
bors at home, and that we behold in
Mr. Bcecher's short but glorious cam
paign in Great Britain the natural
elimination of an iIIustratrious career
Of Christian soldiership OF his own
country. ....... .... .....
"Resolced, That nothing could add
to the honor Of our returned CHAINS
pion, except the grace with which he
hastens to bind his own fresh laurels
round the wounds of our national sol
diers, and to convert the pride and JOY
with which he is welcomed into a cor
dial for the sick and suffering Of our
noble army OF martyrs"

A copPERH EAp LIE EXPOSED.

We have noticed for some time past, the
following paragraph going the rounds of tho
copperhead press of the country. 1t purports
dressed by Secretary Seward to one of the
Secretaries of government in Europe:
ssMy lord, can touch bell on my right
hand and order the arrest of citizen in Ohio.
| can touch the bell again, and order the i'm
prisonment of a citizen In New York and
no power on earth but the President can re-
lease them. Can the Queen or England, in
her donlinions, do as much %
This paragraph has afforded the enemies of
the Government infinite pleasure, because IL
seemed to contribute to their object of bring
ing this Government into disgrace and SHOW
ing it still closer to the verge of destruction.
In order to prove that the paragraph was g
forgery, the editor of the Lancaster Erening
Express wrote to the State Department, and
to his Inquiries as to its auth hentcity, received
the following unequivocal reply:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WAsHINGToS, April "a, 1868.
j. NJ. W. GErsr, Eso-Dear Sir 1: Yours of
22nd, ,enclosing extract from the aEnteliigen-
Ger, ''has been placed in my hands, No such pas
sage is TO be found in Mr.. .Secards correspondence.
That you may satisfy yourself,.I have sent
you the volumes by this days mail.
Your obedient servent, GEO. E. BAKER
By such forgeries the Government is
brought into contempt, and when the lie is
exposed the mean wretches who assisted In
its circulation are too cowardly to admit that
they were parties to the dirty business.

A Big BUG SroRY.-A few evenings since,
in our private club, there was learned dis
sertation on the subject, "Bed bugs and their
remark BILE tepacity OF life.' One asserted of
his own knowledge that they could be boiled
and then come to life. Some had soaked
them for hours in turpentine without any ia
tai consequence. Old Hanks, who bad been
listening to an outsider, here gave his evil
dence in confederation of the facts, Says he !:
ssSome years ago, took bedbug to an iron
foundry, and dropping it into ladle where
the melted iron was, had it run into skillet.
Well my old woman had used that skillet pref
t. constantly for the last six years, and here
the other day 1t got broke all TO smash, and
what do you think, gentlemen, that 'ere insect
just walked out of his hole, where he ID been
laying like frog in a rock, and made tracks
for his old roost up stairs But" added he by
way OF parenthesis sshe looked mighty pale r'

THE NEGRO TROOPS IN FLORIDA.

The Washington correspondent of the n {.
Y. Times writes;
l.. d. Stickney, United States Tax Collec-
tor of lorida and South Carolina, has repor-
ted of the experiment of arming and organi-
zing the slaves. He says that the late expe-
ditiou which took aud held Jacksonville, Fla,
was composed entirely of black troops. They
he Id the post two weeks, were engaged almost
every day with superior numbers of the reb-
els. and in every instance drove them. At
terward, these black troops were reinforced
by white regiment-the sixth Connec ticut
Volunteers-by no means favorable to negro
soldiers. In an engagement with the rebel
cavalry and artillery, the Sixth Conuec ticut
supported the First and Second South Carroll
ma (colored.) After severe engagement, in
which the blacks were victorious, this white
regiment dec Jared it had no further prejudices
against negroes who showed such pluck.
While our troops occupied Jacksonville, the
rebel camp was eight miles distant. The COM
mander OF the United States forces, before
making an attack, wished to destroy rail
road bridge three miles in the rear of the en-
emy. A negro volunteered to perform this
perilous feat. Taking three days ratious in
his knapsack, bottle of turpentine, q box of
matches and pair of colts revolvers, he
disappeared at night. The thid day after he
returned, having burned the bridge and re-
connoitered the enemy's camp, so as to fur
nish much valuable information.
A former expedition up st. Mary's river,
by five companies of the first regiment South
Carolina Volunteers, furnished equally con-
elusive evidence OF the bravery of negro
troops. Marching at night through thick
wood, they were attacked by rebel cavalry.
At the first discharge one man was killed and
four wounded; but instead of panic, the
blacks promptly returned the fire, emptying
twelve rebel saddles at the first discharge.
The uniform testimony of all the officers is
that the colored troops, when brought under
fire, need check more than spur.

DEMOCRATIC FREEDOM.

To assaii the Government, traduce it's au-
thorities. insult its defenders, applaud its as
saiants, give aid and comfort to its bloody
foes, disfranchise those who fight its battles,
discourage enlistments, encourage desertions,
incite seditfon, stir up dissensions distract and
divide the people, depreciate the national cur
rency, encourage resistance to the collection
OF the revenue, misrepresent facts, promnl-
gate falsehood, advocate treason, and obstruct
the Government in every way possible that
will aid or encourage the rebellion and protract
the war this is claimed BY the organs and
leaders of the present bogus concern calling
itself the Democratic party, as the freedom
Of speech and liberty of the press! And this,
too, In time of civil war, when the nation 10
engaged In life and death struggle with
gigantic rebellion.

DYING CONFESSION orAK.Gc

man, of respectable connections, who re-
sided for some years near Dillsburg, Pa, died
a few days since at his home. A few hours
previous to his death he called few of his
friends around, and intimated to them that he
could not die peaceabty ,cithout relieuing has
conscience of a weight which burdened it.
He confessed that he was Knight of the
Golden circle, which order was secretly and
cities. He stated that regular and general
communication was carried on between the
Head quarters of the ssKnights' and the Cab
met of jeff Davis. That he was cognizant
that the Rebel War Department had arranged
with the organization of which he was a mem
Der to evscuate Richmond, for the purpose
of drawing the Federal force that far South,
and while their attention was there engrossed,
the Rebel army, by qnick flank moyeme ent,
icould descend in full force upon Washington,
and, aided by general uprising Of the Knighs
in Pennsylvania and other Northern States, Cap
ture the city and seize upon the Goperamenf by
force, leaving our army South at liberty to
desolate at the expense of retaliation in their
own state.
This is no fabrication. but unquestionable
authority furnishes this confession of dying
man, on subject now fam iliar to the residents
of the district where he resided.-Philaa. In

I WONDER WHY !.

He pressed my hand, can't tell why
I'm sure I wonder why he did it;
And then heard-oh, such sight.
As quite alarmed me for minute.
I wonder why he pressed my hand
wonder why he sigh d go sadly
I'm sure If I could understand
The cause, would remove it gladly.
He told me he had lost his heart,
And whispered something about Hope :;
wonder why it did depart
Or why hearts ever do elope-
I'm sure. if I his heart had been,
I never would have left his side,
But stay'd happy. joyous thing.
And loved the place till had died.

A STATE IN DEAD EARSEsr.-The Legis-
lature of Ohio has resolved s.That we will
have no dissolution of the Union that we
will have no armistice; that we can fight
as long as rebels and traitors can that the
war shall go on until law is restored !; and that
we will never despair Of the Repnblc." This
resolution was introduced by War Democrat,
and was adopted by a decided majority in
both branches. 1t is explicit. It sets forth
principle and purpose in style no man can
mistake. 1t has the sterling ring. The coun-
try sees at once there is nothing spurious in
that loyaly. There are no qualifications, no
disclaimers, no protests. 1t is whole-souled.
1t bespeaks State that is steadfast in its con-
victions, unfaltering in its devotion, indomi-
table in its spirit. That resolution. in this
crisis of the struggle, is grand thing for Ohio.
1t will hereafter be the proudest of all her ti-
ties to honor. 1t ought to stand in golden
letters, on the front OF her noble capitol, an
perishable memento of her fidelity.
