will at once commend her to the sympathy
and cooperation of every slave State, and to
the sympathy Cat least) of the pro-slavery
minority of the free States. x x X We
want to obviate this. We would expose the
seceders to odium as disunionists, not COM
mend them to pity as the gallant though mis-
taken upholders of the rights of their section
in an unequal military conflict.
The following resolutions passed the United
States House Of Representatives, February Ii,
1861, by a nearly unanimous vote
ResolOed, That neither the Federal Gov
eminent nor the people or Governments of
the non-slaveholding States have a purpose or
a constitutional right to legislate upon or in
t%erfere with slavery in any of the States of
the Union.
Rcsolved, That those persons in the North
who do not subscribe to the foregoing propo-
%sitions are too Insignificant in numbers and
influence to excite the serious attention or
alarm of any portion of the people of The re-
public, and that the increase of their numbers
and influence does not keep pace with the in
crease of the aggregate population of the
Union.

MORE OF THE RECoHD.

Since our exposure of the infamies of the
''loyai' editor of the Ashland Times in regard
to the bounty fund, we have learned a new
fact, We state it plainly and directly ; and it
is this L.. j: SPRENGLE, Editor and Proprie-
tor of the Ashland Times, offered to return to
q citizea Of this township the amount Of his
subscription to the fund, If tie said ct.zen
,ooud assist kins (~SPRENGLE) an couering up
the frauds he had perpetrated in regard to 1t:
He further stated, that he could afford to do
it, as lie had made a nice thing OUT ofH But
the bait was not taken. The man he attempt
ed to bride with fifty dollars to assist hin
to cover up his villainy,-although a Republi-
can,-happens to be an honest man, and JEFF
could not buy him. This citizen knew, from
the mere proposition, that JEFF was attempt
ing to swindle his ~neighbors, and refused to
eomplicate himself in the %viIloiny.
/ Now, III. JEFF %sPRENGLE, please answer
" guilty" or not guilty" to this charge
Don't play crazy or stand mute. You attempt
ed, and perhaps have succeeded in taking from
your ~neighbors or the soldiers a large sum of
money. We now charge that you attempted
to bride men to assist you in your villainy.-
Answer yea or nay.
Again ; we learn that a veteran from this
County has been credited to our township, for
whom L.. J. SPRENGLE has received the boun-
ty, but the soldier has received nothing. We
do not make this charge positively because we
have not yet received the proofs.
Now, what should be done with a man who
has thus conducted himself. Who believes
that he paid a number of men 500 each, as
his report avcrs,-a report which he dares not
publish in his own paper,-cheating soldiers
who have well earned this bounty and much
more; cheating neighbors, without whose as
sistance he would have been a pauper upon
the charity of the community and s~neaking
from the merited indignation which he re-
ceives of all men, in by-lanes, or away from
town, he seeks to avoid the punishment he
justly deserves. This punishment, we say,
must not be violent, but let the ban and con-
tempt of community rest upon such villains
for all time.

OPINION OF LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR STAN.
TON, OF OHIO.
(SpeecA an Congress, FEB. %, 1861-Con-
gress'onat Globe, Of 37th Congress, p. 12S4.)
Mr.. SPEAKER-W hen there were fifteen
slaveholding States, acknowledging allegiance
to the Federal Government, and, therefore,
having in their hands the power to protect
themselves against any invasion of their
rights on the part of the Federal Government,
it was a matter of very little consequence
whether such an amendment as that was in
corporated in the constitution Or not. But
the State of the country is now radically and
essentially changed. Seven OF eight States
now deny their allegiance to this Government,
have organized a separate Confederacy, and
have declared their independence Of this Gov
eminent. Whether thai Independence as to
be maintained or not is with the future. j
they shall MAINTAIN their position, and sustain
the authorities there for a gear or tco to come
50 as to shoU that nothing but 'car or suIjd9a-
ton and conquest can bring them back, !, to'
one, am disposed to recognize that Lndepeu
dence.

FRIENDS OF THE SOLDIERS.

A number of the friends of our gallant sol
diers have had bills issued, calling upon the
people of this and surrounding townships to
meet at the Town Hall, on Saturday next, to
take into consideration questions concerning
the bounty fund. Feeling that both citizens
and soldiers have been outrageously swindled
by somebody, they want some direct and au-
horized action to be taken, and hence CALI
upon the citizens, all of whom are interested,
to meet at the Town Hall at l o'clock P. NJ,
and take the subject into consideration. JEFF
will probably not be there. He will either
be laid up with a severe attack of lunacy or
will have business at Columbus. Miss NANCY
will be there to defend him, or if the black
berry crop looks badly, some fellow in South
Ashland, in a fit of desperation, may take up
the cudgel. If they.:can't make it, No. l, Town
Hall, Will say that SLoCUM led JEFF astray,
and that JACOBS, SAMPsEL, BENDER, &C., are
just as guilty as JEFF. Look out for sport.

Speech Of Hon. FL. - Conway, OF
Kansas.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,

IN II HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
JANUARY 27, 1868,
The first step therefore, qrhich should hare
been taken in the progress Of the ,oar was t
acknowledge q revolution, to recognize the
South al ats neW character, to assume the
North ia be crczasivey the nation, and then
to pursue the war for conquest, or not pursue
it at all, as might have seemed most expedi-
ent and proper for the time being.
But, unfoIt %unately those to whom the
conduct of this great transition was commit
ted have not seemed to comprehend their
work. They have disowned the revolution
They have used the war as far as possible to
defeat it, and restore the old sytem.
1t is evident to me that this policy will
prove disastrous. The war in the hands of
those now in authority has an inevstablc ten
dency to defeat the North-to remand it
back to its former subserviercy to the
South Its manifest effect is to pro-
duce a reaction through which q new party
will come into power, pledged not to North
ern nationality, but TO tho old Union at any
price. The war seems to be supported not
only by the opposition, bat also by the Ad-
ministration, for the most part, with reference
to this result.
Now, the war which has come between the
North and South for the past two years has
made q revolution. 1t has SuStltuteQ IN the
South another Government for that of the
Union. This fact, and the fact in such a
matter is the important thing. 1t settles the
law. No technicality in a question of this
can stand. The acdr has utterly dtSSol0ed the
connection Jetaoecn the North and the South,
and rendered them seperate and iadepenaant
polcers an the uoY7d. This is the necessary
legal effect of civil war anywhere. 1t makes
the beligerant parties independent for the
time being, and, unless the one succumbs to
tic other, they continue independent of each
other forever.
The principle is laid down by Vattel as
follows:
When a nation becomes divided into two
parties, absolutely Independent, ard no longer
acknowledging a common superior, the State
is dissolved; and the war between the two
PARTIES stands upon the same ground in every
respect, as a public war between two different
nations."-Book Ill, Chap. IT,, page426.-
1t is not to be wondered at, therefore, that
so learned and profound a %jurist as the honor
able member from pennsylvania (Mr. Stevens)
should express the same opinion.
I%heythink the Union may yet be restored
throu h Cancellation and compromise. They
are now in favor of any separation, not for an
hour. How enphatically the honorable mem
Der from Ohio answered the question put by
himself. "Shall we seperate ? No No MOI"
President has played into the hands of
these gentlemen most completely; and his

L do not believe this Government can per-
manently be held together by military force.
1 do not believe that any section Of this Con
federacy will ultimately subjugate and over
run the other, and hold it as a conquered
province. I have no idea of any such thing.
1t is against the genius and the spirit of the
age. Nobody would attempt any such thing.
I regard a cfraE acar as really settling the
question thai there is to be ultimately q Sepa-
rate Confeaerdcy. l have no idea that such
a war could end otherwise than in a separa-
ton of this Union, and the organization of
separate confederacies. 1 am perfectly salts
fed of that. Anybody who supposes that
fifteen, or even seven or eight, of the States
c'n be held as ~subjugated, and conquered
provinces makes a great mistake. But wheth
er they can or not, they ought not to be. 1t
is against the spirit and the genius of the age;
and no man ought to seek to do it.
