CoLD FEET. Cold feet are the avenues
to death of multitudcs every year. II is
a sign Of imperfect circulation---of want
of vigor Of constitution. In the case of
cold feet, the amount Of blood wanting
there collects at some other part Of the
body which happens to be the weakest.
When the lungs are weakest, the extra
blood gathers there in the shape of .
common cold, or often splitting Of blood
Clergymcu, other public speakers, sing
ers, by improper exposure, often render
the throat the weakest part; to such cold
feet give horseness, or "a raw burning
feeling. most felt at the bottom Of the

certain financial ruin, is but dust in the
balance when compared with thepsblood
that has been shed, and loss of life, and
the inevitable loss of civil liberty which
this wicked, unconstitutional war has
brought upon the States in the North.
The least estimate of the loss of life in
the Federal armies up to this time, is five
hundred thousand men. Not less than
half of these were killed in battle, and
the rest destroyed by disease. Estima-
ting each of these slain in battle to have
shed quart of blood, and we have an
estimate aggregate of thirty one thousand
hogsheads of human gore shed by gallant
soldiers of the North to aid the contract
ors, Lincoln, Seward, Greeley; Stanton &
Co., in this OBJ of destroying the Gov
ernment of our forefathers, and tn prin-
ciples of Madison, Jefferson, and the De-
mocracy. Thank God, our hands are not
Redeemed by the blood of these men,

PEACE
A Proposition i'm the COnfede.
rate Congress.

In the Confederate House of Represen-
tatives, May 23d, MIR. j. L. Leach, of
North Carolina, submitted the following
preamble and resolutions, which were
read by the Clerk, creating quito sen
sation on the floor, among the privileged
seats and the galleries:
Whereas, The unconstitutional enact
ment of laws by the Congress of the Uni.
ted States upon subjects of vital impor-
tance to the harmony and independence
of the States, the happiness and prospect.
ty of the people, the preservation and
perpetuation of the Union, against the
demands of justice, the appeals and ad-
men, made it our painful duty to fall
back upon the rights for which the colo
nies maintained the war of the Revolu-
ton, and which our forefathers asserted
and maintained to be clear and inaliena-
BILE:
Resozved, by the Congress of the Con
federate States, That the delegates from
each State, acting in its sovereign and
independent character, for the purpose
of adding moral to our physical force, and
placing ourselves properly before the civ
ilized world, do most earnestly appeal to
the President, by and with the advices
and consent of the Senate, to appoint COM
missioners whose duty it shall be to pro-
pose an armistice of ninety days to the
proper authorities of the Federal govern
ment, preliminary to negotiation upon
State sovereignty and independence; and
the said commissioners shall report in
writing to the President the answer re-
ceived from the Federal government upon
the subject.
RESOLVED, That should the peace-mak-
ing power of the Federal government ac-
cede to the proposition for an armistice of
ninety days, the President be requested to
convene the Congress of the Confederate
States for the purpose ofappointing COM
missioners, by and with the consent and
advice of the Senate and that he be also
requested to notify the Executives of the
several States of the fact, and ask their
cooperation by appointing commissioners,
either by Legislature or by convention, to
cooperate with commissioners appointed
by the President, and to negotiate with
the commissioners appointed by the Fed
eral government, upon such terms of peace
as will be consistent with the honor, dig
nifty and independence of the States, and
compatible with the safety of our social
and political rights.
Resolue1, That in maintaining the
rights guaranteed to US by the blood and
treasure of our revolutionary fathers, and
dear at all times to freemeu, we desire to
be let alone. We take no mans property !;
we fight not for conquest, but for our
rights, the independence of the States,
our equality, our civil and religious iber-
ties.
Resolued, That such terms of peace as
agreed to by the commissioners ought to
be indorsed by the President and Senate
and submitted to the people for their rat
After considerable discussion the reso.
utions were laid on the table by vote of
II, ayes and % noes.

Wanted.

Some one possessing common horse
sense, and common school education,
and yet brazen-faced enough to dispute
the following facts:
1st. That the present mongrel party
styling itself Union, conglomeration OF
to; yism, Abolitionism and Republicanism
two parts of the first and third-during
the winter of 1904. then known as Fed
eralists, attempted to dissolve the Union
and establish a Northern Confederacy.
I'd. That they threatened and at
tempted dissolution of the Union du-
ring the war of 1872.
Sd. That John Adams presented pc.
tition in Congress signed by the Aboli-
tionists of Massachusetts,, in 1942, pray.
ing for dissolution of the Union, and
the Southern members of Congress fought
against it.
4th. That on the goth of February,
1912, Joshua r. Giddings, of Ohio, pre-
sented petition to Congress signed by
the Abolitionists of the Reserve praying
for dissolution of the Union; that this
petition was also iercely opposed by the
Southerners.
5th. That John P. Hale, VIM. H
Seward and Salmon P. Chase - alias
"green5aek" Chase-voted to receive a
petion to dissolve the Union, in the Uni.
ted States Senate in 1850.
That for the above and sundey other
acts of patriotism, Abe Lincoln makes
Gliding Minister to Canada andSeward
his Cabinet pets.
7th. That Abolitionism is the prima-
ry cause of the war.
Sth. That the Abolitionists have been
laboring for thirty or forty years to break
up the Government.
9th. That their object is now to pro,
long the Yer, slaughter soldiers, free ne
groes, enrich themselves, and either sub
jugate the South, and establish despot
ism, or effect permanent dissolution oi
the Union.
Our exchanges will please copy the
above. If they find person to dispute
its authenticity, examine him, and if he
has common, oarse-grained horse-sense
direct him to us. We will sell his fac'
for old brass and thank them for insert
ing this in conspicuous place.-Uaiol

Andrew Johnson and his Moths
er-Cam this be Possible

The Washington Constitutional Union,
edited by Colonel Florence, long resi-
dent of the city of Philadelphia, in speak
ing of Andrew johnson, makes the follow
ing charge which we only hope that his.
friends will afford us the pleasure of proof
to contradict it. The Union says:
candy johnson, of Tennessee, who
was nominated yesterday at Baltimore by
the Republicans for Vice President, is.
known to be one of the most consummate
demagogues living. In addition to
thousand other little tricks resorted to by
him to make himself popular with the
masses, we are told that he keeps stand
ing in front of the elegant mansion in
which he lives, a small one-story shanty
in which he once worked as journey
man tailor this he points out to his visl-
tors, telling them the story of his early
struggles in life. He forgets, however,
to tell them one other thing connected
with his humble origin how he has an
old mother, more than seventy years of
age, who he suffers to traverse the streets
Of Philadelphia, with basket on her
arm, selling tripe for living. Ye who.
have hearts, only think of this; man
who is rolling in wealth, and aspires to
the position of Vice President of this
great country, suffers his old mother to.
trudge about the streets Of large city,.
bowling tripe, that she may buy bread to.
keep her poor old soul and body together.
Ingratitude can assume no darker shade
than this"

the Rights of Asylum
Abandoning the Monroe
Doctrine
Doctrine.

The Albany Argus well observes: The
kidnapping and deportation of the Cuban
Arguelles, under the orders of Mr.. Sew
ard, would have been crime, by its man
ner of execution, if we had had an extra
ordinary treaty with Spain; for the sur
render of an alleged criminal must even
then be made under judicial forms. But
we have no such treaty; and the deporta-
tion of the Spaniard was as great crime
as would have been the kidnapping of a
negro to sell into slavery. The United
States Marshal; guilty of the act, has been
indicted under the law which was enact
ed to protect the negroes. Such is the
circle of BLACK Republicanism, beginning
in an outcry for freedom and ending in
kidnapping and giving up the refugees
from desrotism.
The charge against Arguelles is that
he connived at the sale of certain rescued
Africans into slavery On his side, it is
said that he detected and exposed the ar
rival of a slave cargo, and that he was
given, as is the custom, a portion of the
liberated Africans to sell into slavery, to
pay for the cost of rescuing the others!
He had, in some way, offended the Cap
tain General of Cuba, and large Oilers
were made Tor his capture.
Another similar act dishonoring to the
national character, is the surrender of the
Mexican Rejon, who sought refuge in
Texas. He was sent back by our militia
ry commander, ard shot by the Mexican
authorities.
In these base surrenders the right of
asylum which other nations regard as sa-
cred was violated. No such crime against
ourselves, 20 such suicide or national
honor would have been tolerated, under
preceding administration.
But what are we to think of American
diplomacy, when it exhibits itself in such
an attitude as that of Mr.. Seward to-
wards the House of Representatives?
That body, by unanimous vute; reassert-
ed the Monroe doctrine, and deprecated
the establishment of monarchy on the
basis of a republic Frustrated by foreign
military power.
Mr.. Seward instructs the American
Minister to France to 6isavow and repu-
diate this language on the part of Presi-
dent Lincoln. What makes this course
more humiliating was that the disavuwal
was made under threats from France; and
that our only reply to an intimation of
war was this craven concession.
There was a time when such an act
would have called out the loud denuncia-
tions of the people, and furnished to their
representatives a ground OF impeachment
to the recreant Secretary: That day
passed; and the night which is now set
tied upon the Nation must cease before it
can dawn again!

4 Portrait of Lincoln by a Ere
mont Republican,.

at the late large and enthusiastic NEE
ting of the friends of Fremont in New
York, Mr.. D. G.. Walker, of Vermont,
one Of the speakers, thus alluded to Lin
coin. He said:
"What the American people want is
man who sees clearly the way to accom-
plish their purpose, and to put down the
rebellion (applause), and having seen the
way, the next great object that you want
is that he possesses the frmness to carry
it out I consider, my friends, that the
facts conclusively show that the Presi-
dent is not man qualified for this work
1Cheers. ae has neither the perception
Of what is necessary, nor the frmness to
carry it out if he had. [Renewed ap-
plause.l And besides, he is surrounded
by set of men who are as incompetent
as himself-["That's so," and cheers +
men who have disgraced the American
name and the American nation as it new
er has been before. "Good," and ap-
plause.1 When the House of Represen-
tatives passed the resolution indorsing the
Monroe doctrine and denouncing the
Vaccinations of Louis Napoleon in Mexi-
CO, tie Secretary Of State (even before
the fact of its passage was known to Ma
poleon) SO degraded the Ameaican people
as to write to the Minister apologizing
and explaining away its meaning. Was
eyer the American people so disgraced by
an American as when William Ii. Seward
wrote to Louis Napoleon for the purpose
of apologizing for the vote of the House
of Representatives Never, my friends,
was America SO disgraced and lowered in
Europe by any man as it was by him"
