to the right Of this Government to use the
negro. The only question is, Shall the
law be executed i! and 1 say, Yes! yes !
TApplause.] And there is no question but
that the negro can be used to great advan-
tage. He can dig trenches, drive wagons
and fight. TApplause.] Consult the ac-
ton Of South Carolina in this business
See what she has done. 1t is through the
labor of these people, whom Beauregard
has summoned by the thousands, that
Charleston has withstood 50 long the at
tack of our forces. They have hauled and
picked-aye, and handled the musket!-by
the thousands for these fiends in human
shape and why should we not make them
work and 6ghtf Perhaps some will say
that the negro on this side is not 30 good
q on the other, and cannot be used. What
would you do If you had to give up the
hundred ana fifty thousand who are .driv-
ing teams, and doing the hard work OF
camp and field labor? Would you not
have to fill their places with white men,
and draft onehundred and fifty thousand
more white men to All the ranks and march
to slaughter?
In his remarks on this subject, the
speaker had the breathlees attention OF his
auditory, who followed him to the last
word with frequent and unanimous ap-
plause. In closing, he made . brief refer.
ence to the coming Presidential campaign,
ANNOUNCING his intention Of attending the
Baltimore Convention and supporting the
man there nominated, and doing all in his
power to help carry Kentucky for him;

BURLINGTON WEEKLY HAWK-EYE

The RIP VAN WINKLEs OF OUR RACE.
One of the most succinct ana compre-
hensive statements of the kind we have
ever seen appears in a speech made oy
the Rev. Samuel Coley, at a Wesleyan
missionary anniversary. 1t is a passage
worth preserving: II suppose tnat NO
yention and such situated intellectual de-
velopment as China. The Chinese is the
largest yet beyond its own realm tie least
influential, Of monarchies. From China
no mission ever started, no conqueror ever
marched. Before all people in develop
ment. They had both goldapd silver coins
before the first Daric was miqted, yet they
traffic by the scales to this day. They nrst
had gunpowder, but have got little nrtneT
with its use than to blaze It away in crack
ers. They were long beforehand With inc
magnet, but no junk ever crossed the ocean
except in tow ofa British ship. They have
printed from time immemorial, but their
literature aWakes no progressive intellect:
They have made glass TOR two Thousand
years, and ordinarily do not make 1t clear
enough to see through yet. Their astrono-
my Is still astrology, nor has their chem
istry awoke from dreams OF alchemy
They have politeness, but it b odd forms
and slavery ofetiqgstte only make a them
language, but ito elaborate cleverness is
curse aud fetter to their minds, making
it the labor of life to learn to read. They
are not without notions of dignity; but
the men find it in nails long enough fol
claws, and the women in feet crushed into
the shapelessness Of hoofs. In the South
Atlantic there is . seattle great Sargazo'
All the currents pass by it. Dull, dead,
heaving waves just move the heaping-up
tangle of weeds that grow and the drift OF
wrecks that rot in that stagnant, melan'
choly ocean limbo. China is the Sargazo
sea in the ocean of humanity
Boston from Virginia to enlist in Massa-
chusetts regiment, was one who was much
whittier than many white men and never
would be taken from his appearance for q
slave. His family connection is some
what singular, he being son Of his grand
ather and brother of his mother.

RENARKABI.E JuxrAPosIT1oN OF TH1Nos.
In one Of our morning papers on Mon.
day. the first column of the first page was
headed, +" Invasion of Kentucky" follow
ed by an account Of the capture and de-
structiOn Of the town Of Paducah, on the
South bank Of the Ohio river, within sight
Of the State Of Illinois, by q rebel army
that had marched unobetructed and unre-
sisted, from the State of Mississippi clear
across the two States. of Kentucky and
Tennessee, about three degrees Of latitude,
seizing and plundering what they pleased
as they passed. Adjoining this narrative,
on the next column, stood President Lin
coins amended Proclamation of Amnesty,
inviting all the rebels below the rank of
Colonel to take the oath of allegiance and
be at peace. And next under that was the
statement that the Governor of the State of
Kentucky, instead Of being in his place
trying to repel the invasion from his baili-
wick, was at Washington for the purpose
of prevailing on the President of the Unit
ed States to ex -mpt the black Kentuckians
from being enrolled under the act of Con-
gress, because his constituents were re-
resolved not to give up their slaves, as the
rest of us give up our sons, to preserve
their territory from invasion, or to pre-
serve our government from dissolution.
We will not anticipate our readers in the
reflections they may make, or the resolu-
tions they may form, concerning this ex-
traordinary collection and mixing up of
affairs Independent.

EXCITEMENT IN THE LAKE. TOWNS.


Mr. EpIroR:-At the present time
there is considerable excitement and bus
tie, not only in the larger towns, but
those of lesser importance along the bor-'
dcrs of Lake Champlain, both on the N.
Y. and Vermont side.
Discussions upon the election and the
probabilities of marauding parties Of
rebel raiders in connection Herewith,
form the all-absorbing topic of interest.
From the verriest school-boy to the
most distinguished politician, the uni
vorsal inquiry is, are zoe safe Ought We
not to be preparing for self,defensc?
The talk and excitement makeit seem
more like border warfare than we once ex-
pectcd. Perhaps Kansas.like we are to
live over the scenes which characterized
her bloody struggle into existence
From Whitehall, some Is miles from
here, we soon expect to hear stirring news
as to the result of the election.
But day or two since some suspicious
looking fellows landed at our town, and
after secretly trying to find out the size
aud wealth of our village with the prob
abilities for plunder, absconded on board
the next steamer, with the view probably
to carry out their traitorous designs in,
other places
Whatever may be the object to be ao-'
complished by these individuals. it is
certain they are aiming at no good, and
sooner the people are made acquainted
with their intentions, the better nsy be-
their condition.
In the language of the poet;
- We are living, we are dwelling.
| In grand and awful time.
| In an age ON age telling,
70 be living is sublime"
1t is now that the principles of freedom
and dcspotism are struggling for the mas
terry, the one over the other, and it is
lamontable fact that there are many
among us who are lending the latter o
helping hand.
The events which are now transpiring
around us, are necessary to show us the
