A Hard Hit.


Jim-never made joke in his life
vet no man ever had more made at his ex-
pense. On one occasion, while a candi-
date for Congress, he was making speech
in country school house to an audience
of country farmers, who were, as general
r.le, very attentive listeners. Joe Ca,
however, formed an exception. He had
been partaking rather literally of whisky
straight, under the influence Of which
his comments, made in tone rather loud
er than stage whisper, were exceedipgly

DisuniOn of the Opposition.

We desire to call the attention of sober
and considefate men to a. proceeding in
the House of Representatives at Wash
ington the other day Mr.. Dawson, oi
Pennsylvania, offered the following reso-
luton: He iet
'.Resolred, That the President make
known by Public proclamation or other
wise-to all the country, that whenever
any State now in insurrection shall sub
nit itself to the authority of the Federal
Government, as defined in the Constitu-
ton, all hostility against her shall cease,
and such State shall be protected from all
external interference with her leeal laws
and institutions, and her people shall be
guaranteed the full enjoyment of all those
rights which the Federal Constitution
gave them.
Against this resolution the administra-
tion majority of the House voted in solid
column, by which vote they declared that
whenever aEy State. now in insurrection
shall submis itself to the authority Of the
Federal government, as defined in the
Federal Constitution, all hostility shall
NOT cease, anu tnaI sueh o'"'o eh"i NoA
be protected from all external Interfere
with her local laws and institutions, and
that her people shall NOT be guaranteed
the full enjoyment of all those rights
which the Federal Constitution gave them
Such was the declaration Of the majority
of the House. And what is this decla-
ration in fact2 1t is declaration of a
war of subjugation against the South
however willing the South may be to re-
turn to her obedience to the Constitution
1t is declaration of war of subversion
of both State and Federal Constitutions
When will such war en6-and what

W0ODSFIELD MONROE COUNTY, OHIO APRIL 2O 1864,

that all sincere patriots, all men who look
for nothing further than the advancement
of their country and of liberty, may rally
in one compact body around the great
principle of liberalism, and form liberal
party really worthy of the name. Such
one only can save the country.
Away with all the imposters who have
invaded the temple of liberty, and turned
it into vote market. Let there be an end
of this ridiculous farce of unconditional
loyalty which is only fit to secure the
votes Of those fools who, instead of de-
livering to the root of the matter, blindly
believe all the interested falsehoods pub
lished by journals that are paid to applaud
and submit, whether right or wrong,
Mr.. Lincoln's honesty is of a strange
description. II consists in nearly running
his country, and in disregarding its inter.
four years longer. To our eyes, the man
who has deprived his country of the ser
vices of some of its best citizens, who
had been unable to make any better use
of the Incredible resources conhded to
him, and who, after agitating the many
public questions without solving one of
them, disregards his own utter incapacity,
is, of all the citizens of the United States,
the least honest and the most dangerous.
But even if President Lincoln were the
honest man that his paid organs represent
him to be, how dangerous would his re-
election prove to the liberties of the peo-
pie, under existing circumstances, sur
rounded as he is with the military infu
ences, that he has at his backl Let us
remember the teachings of history and
the instances of feigned or real imbecili,y,
all Of which have resulted in aespotism.
Sixtus V, the half stupid monk in his
cell, and Napoleon HI, the scottish de-
bauch, belong to the same school. The
men who have had to endure them, elect
ed them as unimportant individuals,
whose election would give time for rchee-
tion and consideration, it will soon be
sixteen years that France has reflected
and pondered over her lost liberty. Fear
ing the unknown and shrinking from the
pcrtuberations incidental to change, they
have had despotism and ruin, which are
leading them inevitably to the most ter
rible of all the revolutiors that history
has hitherto recorded. Americans of the
old school will not believe MS, they say
our liberties are so firmly implanted in
tho blood of our Anglo Saxon race that
none dare disturb them. But we think
and say with the poet,
:. Co bloc enfarine ne me dit rien qui vaille.'

CONSUMPTION, or to escape the existing troubles
but think, in fact we know, that our cotempo-
raries at distance are greatly mistaken IN sup
posing that many of them will leave through the
blockade. The orders on that head are altogether
too stringent and their enforcement here too strict
to permit that game being carried on. In fact we
do not think that "Baron KONG" is the only
party who feels aggrieved by General'Whiting, or
that the unbendng frmness of that officer has not
indeed made enemies among those who had made
arrangements to leave the country. Persons can.
not leave the country through this port unless they
have perfect right to do so. Those liable to SER
vice will find the blockade through Wilmington a
second Jordan, in that it is ga hard road to travel
Parties will be much more apt to seek an exit
