Opposing the War.


The Boston Courier says: 1--WE
hear a great deal about opposing "the
government" in time of war. But we
have abundance of New England
l.recedort for so doing, without going
back to old England and the times of
Lord Chatam and Col. Barre. In
December, 1914, q Convention COM
posed of delegates from Massachusetts,,
Connecticut, New Hampshire, Yer
mont and Rhode Island, met in New
England. We were then at WY with
a power stronger by far, in proportion
than the rebel confederacy, power
strong both by land and sea, and with
cotcrminous territories as extensive
end we'll situated for attack or defense
a. those Of our present antagonists.
Here is on extract from the report,
which, after a session of three weeks,
this Convention offered TO the country
In it aro embodied, in measured and
well considered language, the sound
doctrine propounded and defended by
the conservative press Of the present
day:
'In this whole series of dcvises and
measures for raising men, this Con-
yention discern q total disregard for
tho Constitution, and q disposition
to violate it's provisions, demanding
from the individual States firm and
dec4dyd opposition An iron dcspot-
ism can impose no harder service upon
the citizen than to force him from his
home and occupation, to wage ofion-
se wars, undertaken to crafty the
l., ide or passions Of his master. The
,xa n2ls Of France has recently shown
t,lat cabal Of individuals, assuming
4, cot in the namo of the people, may
tr.usform the great body Of citizens
into soldiers, and deliver them over
into the hands of single tyrant. No
war, not held in just abhorence by the
psople, can require the aid OF such
stratagems to recruit an army.
That acts Of Congress in violation
Of the Constitution arc absolutely void,

ALL SORTS OF PARAGRAPHS.

Ex-President Fillmore, in his ad-
dress at the opening of the Christian
Commission Central Fair at Buffalo,
n. Y, argued that the first step to-
ward peace is to conquer the rebel
army, and, that, to this end, the Ad-
ministration must be supported with
men and money, although we may
not approve of the uses of either
But while discharging this sacred du-
ty, he urged that it is "clear that
much must be forgiven, if not forgot
ton, on both sides, before the Union
can ever be restored and, therefore,
it is to be hoped that all unnecessary
acts Of cruelty, or wanton destruction
of property, or insult, or insolence in
triumphing over fallen foe, should
be avoided; for oil such acts only fire
the heart of our adversary with re-
sentiment and revenge, and thus pro-
tract the war, increase its horrors, and
leave sting which will render re-
union more difficult, if not impossible"
The rebel Congress have appointed
a day Of fasting and prayer for the 9Th
Of April next The tax law which
they have passed puts a tax on oil
property and upon incomes of s per
cent, and tax of 10 per cent. on all
the profits of trade. This tax, it is
thought, will produce-property tax,
5000, 100000; tax on income, $780,
600, and tax on currency, $780,
100000. The Examiner thinks, with
the amount the tax law Of 1868 ought
to produce, that there will be diff
ference of $500, 900, ,O6O in favor of the
rebel treasury the nexttwelve months.
Quilp says that women, as a gene
raj thing, are happier than men, and
assigns as reason for the fact that
the felicity Of the former lies mainly
in dry goods, whereas the later COM
monty need something wet" in addi.
ton. Excepting on occasions of great
calamity-cvery well-dressed woman
continues the satirical Quilp) is in
serene and Thoroughly comfortable state
of mind
A cotemporary says that ';the re-
bellion is the greatest crime and mis-
fortune that can befall government"
No sir, remarks another, usurpation
and despotism are worse than rcbel-
lion. While. mo government ever yet
perished by what is caliJu rebellion"
many have pesishcd byusurpation and
tyranny.
There have been instances Of au-
dacity since the war commenced, but
we should like to know what Copper
head ever attempted to show so con-
clusively the imbebility, unpopularity,
and criminaity even Of the present
Administration as Msssrs. Blair, Pom
eroy and Greeley.

THE BLACK FLAG.-Gov Letchor
stated in his address at Danville, Va,
that the late Stonewall Jackson was
in favor of conducting this war under
the black flag, and so expressed his
sentiments to him seven days after the
secession of Virginia, proposing to sci
the example himself by first carrying
that flag in the face of the enemy.

SALT INTEREST IN CoSoREss.-By tho
following extract from the Washing
ton correspondence of the Detroit Tn
6ale it will bo seen that Hon. John +.
briggs Of this District has made a
move in the right direction, in which
it is hoped he may succeed:
In the article of Salt, Michigan is q
great producing State. The duty on
imported salt has not been increased
to correspond with tho tax on the
home manufacture in the internal
revenue law. This is discrimination
the wrong way. The following pre-
amble and resolution, introduced by
Mr.. briggs, on the lst inst, and
which were unanimously agreed to,
sufficiently explain themselves:
(" Whereas, Our home manufactured article Of
salt 10 hs~-;iy .sxad IN snnnort the Govern
mcnt while the cost Of manufacturing Is largely
increased and the sales necessarily diminished
by reason Of the competition Of foreign salt,
which pays no moro duty than was cxacted before
the increased tax was imposed upon the home ar
ticle;
And uhereds, We believe ii to be tho duty Of
Congress, while devising ways and means TO meet
the extraordinary demands upon the Treasury,
TO sec that no unjust determinations are made SC
that foreign manufacturers may derive a benefit
from the misfortunes Of our own; therefsre,
Resoired, That the Committee Of Ways and
Means be instructed 10 inquire into the justice
and cxpediency OF levying on increased duty o
ten cents per buebel on all salt imported into ths
United States or such other amount as they may
deem Just; and to report TO this House by bill OF
otherwise"
1t is only necessary to add here, that
leading members of tho Committee Of
Ways and Means have expressed them
selves in favor Of the measure. An
additional duty on foreign salt may be
expected in tho bill that will be re-
ported from that committee, making
some changes in the revenue laws
There is no doubt such action will be
taken as justice to the home manu-
