A,jor General Dix responded to this g. ntiment All

the beginning Of the war; lie believed the time not

BLACK REPUBLICAN HrrsORrsr.--Tho New York News


BLACK REPUBLICAN, HrrSORsY.--The New York News
says:
The recent debate In the Senate in which Mr. Davis,
Of Kentucky, and Mr.. Hale, Of New Hampshire took
part. was most ptiable revelation of the impudencs
oil Abolition hypocrisy The sevsre and just structures
oil. mr. Davis upol the course Of the Administration in
their manner of conducting the war, aud his assertion
hat he honestly believed this to be continued
until after the Presidential election was the sgral for
great display o. Very vntuous indignation tho part
OF Mr.. John z. Hale. All tha. stimul.ted indignation
Wass IN tao very fanny Senator from New HlmpshiIes
best vein but no one who has been in tie habit Of
listening 60 his jokes in the Senate believed for
ment that he wSs in earnest
bis idea Of Republican Senator's being bouud by
the sahctiy Of their oa.hs to su,tan the country auo
the OoHatuloD, when for the last three ysars they
have heeo en6eavCrhg to destroy the cne and toYer
throT the other, Is perfeelysu5ime in is unappoach
able im9udencf; and when he added the assertion
Tat the desaes ef this country have been submitted
TO the Republican Senator'S, we could nat int think,
from the experience the LAST three year that il
~ very unsafe hands. Uncle Toby had ideas III
his hsad-ofe Of his bowling green, and the other Of
the widow WaSman. Mr. Hale has one--hat slavery ia
most horrible svl-and the other that war Is enc OF
Zoos heaVen-lent agencies TO overthrow it; and no
tSastles ln moH profane way aoout Goods trying tho
question Of free government before tho world and as
serts hs belief thu He has entrusted the deslines OF
the county to the hands OF the Republican party"
Jed help the land il they are 10 wosk up its dec
tinief. 1t there is any srher msn, always except
ing Mr.. Sumner, responsible for al the innocent
blood that has been shei aud all the desoation that
has sgeps over u.s. it is this very Senator Hale. Does
ne suppose that ne can blind the eyes of hsoounTy
men to this fact by these oVeratrned bursts of paT
oismf But the richest psrI in the play was when he
dashed himself into burst OF indignation the az
seron by Nj. Davis shat the Republcin party wished
TO ptoiong the was for political object" We wonder
whether the indignant Senator had forgotten Mr.. Sew
ards speech at Auburn, when he said Abraham Lin

but OF the whole ofths Union but he has been orciby
KEEP! of part Of the United Safes There can be
no peace aud quiet until Abraham Lincoln is President
under the next election for the whole United State -
We wonder if he supposes that the SIDE are so blind

Lincolns message Of tho enStenth scheme OF recon-
structon most feasible plan by virtue Of the bayo

Benjamin Frauklin, though neither the
greatest nor the best American, is the mod

OF the New England homes of the last cen
tury. He is Independency in its last anal

prose. Ills character is the farthest posi-
ble from that of boardiug-school hero, he
is anything rather than that faullless mon.
ster whom the world ne'er saw but be-
ing of flesh and blood, made up of appelites,
impulses, aspirations, mol all sanity, which
often mislead him into failiugs, errors, sins,
which require aud receive punishment. Not
always the Iuler aud master of his passions,
he is never their slave; be feels, condemns.
aud struggles with his errors until be trl'
umphs over them, aud glances at them III

of he was a citizen. Having achieved a
sufhciency while yet in the prime OF life, he
gave The later and better half of his long
career almost exclusively TO public duties
of the most arduous and exacliug nature
duties which tax every energy, yet make NJ
show, aud are not even comprehended by
the multitude. Probably no other man
certainly no Other but Washington-labor
ed so arduously, SO 'capably, so effectively
