they have undertaken this means and coward
~ process TO injure me-
But mus, close this already too long com
munication, the first and only one [ have
these evils and grievances would be remove
by the government in a private manner
But after waiting for nearly SIX months af-
ter the departments are informed, and see
ing no signs of relief, but that matters grow
daily more uncomfortable. I must confess TO
some eccitabiiify aud further, confess to
that sort of eccentricity that loves to stand
in the ways and ask for the old paths by
ty nation of freemen and house of refuge to
to the oppressed. Hove more than life all
her old monuments,a ,and her old dialect is
sweetcr than music to my ea6 May never
BILE in the dust, or be broken down by the
hand of the defamer, nor her soil diminished
bv the breadth of hair. My motto is-LET
THE UNION BE PERPETUAL and by the Con-
stitution live or die. J. c. Knapp.

We are like to be ruined by an administra
ton that acM rot tell the truth that spends
precious time in playing at President making;
that is cutting md shutting the cards for the
next great political campaign.
(New-York Tribune April %, 1861
If the Administration has not packed it's
trunk, the country should be assured of the
fact forth with.
(New-York Times, April %, 1867
1t must be confessed that the administra-
ton has presented the lsmentable spectacle,
of wasting precious days and weeks In decd
ing upon partisan claims to office, at the very
moment that all its energies should have
been directed to the state of the couDtry
ETC.
(The New York Times, April % 186l.)
We do not hesitate to say to the Pr esi-
dent, thar, unless he acted with more vi gor
and more courage, be ran the
risk ofpIunging the government into embar-
ressInent from which i: could only be res
cued by some one uho should more accu-
rdteiy represent the sentiments and purposes
Of the American people. If
they are thwarted and treated with con-
tempt, they will work out
path for themselves, eren if they have to
ocerTide the government, which ought to
guide them to the accompIj Ijshnlent of its own
wise and just ends.
New York Times, April 1861
The President runs no small risk Of being
superseded in his Office, if he undertakes to
thwart the clear and manifest determination
of the people to maintain the authority of the
United Statas, and to protect its honor.

Not upon those whose duty it was to pro
vide the means necessary to put down the re
bellion, but upon those uohose. duty it roas to
rightfully apply those means, and the agents
they employ for that purpose, rest the blame,
if and: that the hopes Of the nation have not
been realized, &c.

With a single exception, when has one Of
these men 1.-The pIenderers of the treasury
been courtmartialed or punished To day
they hare injured the Republic more than the
South in arms. Had they been arrested and
placed under the gallows or in Fort Lafay-
cite, our army would have been stronger, and
our people at home more united. No won
der that your soldiers and their friends arc
dissatisfied. They cannot appreciate the
patriotism Of stealing.
[New-York Trbne, March 29.
This nation has learned by a very exten-
sive experience, that war is season of pros
perity to scoundrels. 1t is, to some extent,
inevitably So, but in our case, inameasurably
and incredibly so. We have rascals of all
degrees and kinds, incapable imposters, doing
no aOork, and druwing full pay-gold gam
bers, to whom patriotism and loyalty are
but empty namse, and in whose there Is
nothing but speculation, n,-swindlers and rob-
bers all. Every one of them is practically
traitor, &C., &c.

The evidence for the inspiration of thetl19I
psalm is clearer than the evidence that its
apparant meaning is its real one therefore, if
it be needful to adopt the alternative that the
psalm is not of divine origin, or else that it
does not utter wish for the woes Of the trail
tors household, we have logical right to in
terpret the psalm as breathing spirit not of
positive desire for these woes, butof cordial
admission to them. [! j Thus
