The Responsibility.

The Chicago platform affirmed that the Re-
publican party were the csuse Of the rebellion
And in keeping with that assertion the Peace
Democrats made their war on that party instead
Of upon treason. This assertion Of course is lie,
and those who uttered il knew it to be so, but
the frequent and noisy repetition Of the faisehood
renders /, necessary to give an occasional notice.
And to this end we quote below an extract from
speech made in FAneuil Hall last Wednesday
by Edward Everett who, we believe, has never
been accused oil being a Republican, radical, or
any thing but q sound and able and unbiased
conservative MIR. Everett said
Whatever iau, lies At the door Of the North,
this may with truth be said, that every demand
made BY the South was conceded, aud that every
issue raised by her was decided in her favor. At
length having been defeated in one election, after
having all but monopolzed the government for
sixty yaars, "a defeat brought about by the man
sgement OF her own political leaders, or the
ayswed purpose OF firing the Southern heart"
she struck the first blow OF overt treason and ag
gressve war. 10 the question on whom the
dread responsibility of that fatal blow must for.

January, 1861, return the answer: "This STEP"

rest on this Convention to the end of time" Theu

A "fERRBLE Collision A correspondent
OF the New York Ernng Post gives the partio.
uars Of " terrible collision, as follows:
" The ship General Mcclellan, Of Chicago,
under command Of one Seymour, came lato
collision with the ship General sherman, Of the
United States. commanded By Abraham Lincoln,
at or near Atlanta, Georgia The General Sher-
man was not injured at all, but the Gen. Nc
Cl' Han had one Of her principal plapks knocked
out OF ber platform, completely shyerng
the whole structure. She had on board at the
time Of the collision large and saDguiue party
of war men, peace men and copperbeads who
were thrown into the greatest CONSERVATION, and
great fault is found with the commander Of the
General Sherman for not having avoided the col.
lision until the Gen Mcclellan had got past
Cape Second Monday in November, when she
could have dispensed with hor atform and
would not have been liable to such serious iniu.

are truly thankful that the strength Of their
ship has sayed them from disaster. We do not
learn that there was any insurance on the Gene

Reconstruction in Louisiana.

lhefe IS quite warm contest progressing in
Louisiana, respecting the ratification of the con
sIitullon referred to the people BY the recent
convention. The merits Of the constitution itself
seem not to be in issue so much as the question
whether the Presidents and Gen. Banks method
OF reconstructing Louisiana shall be recognized
and ratified by the people or not. The conven-
tlGn which recommended the constitution was
evidently body Of men without much character,
position or influence, aud it was dsorderly in its
proceedings, and ridiculous in some of its assump-
tons Of power; and what there is good 10 It's work
Is rendered dislastelil from its origin, and asso.
Citations. It's hardly singular therefore, that the
ablest men in New Orleans, men who have large
and permanent interests there, but whose opn-
ons and advice have not been listened to because
they have not chosen to approve what has really
turned out to be the ridiculous farce as well as
dangerous example Of reconstruction, should be
earnestly opposed to any action Of the people,
endorsing tho irregular proceedings in that State.
We anticipate, however, that their efforts will be
frntIes', as the power and patronage of Gen
Banks are potent at the ballot box in Louisiana,
however inefficient they may have been on the
Red River But no stable free State government
can be erected on any such blsi' as the Presidents
proclamation, as we shall find to our sorrow By
and BY and the sooner The administration aban-
dons The idea that The people Of Louisiana will
hereafter recognize as legal and valid any such
shams as the one now being set up in that State,

my Of thv CdlAGurhnd "Wc have
now eleven ,diet kitchens in success
ful operation in this department, which
prepare food for about 5000 of the
worst sick and wounded men. The
kitchens are being extended TO all the
largo hospitals. Arrangements are
being made for several more, which
we hope to havo in operation very
soon There will then be but n few
small hospitals left without them.--
The great want now. is a. sufficient
quantity of supplies; the noble women
who are giving their best energies to
this work and arc making it a life
saving and a soul saving power, COM
plain bitterly of q want Of supplies.
Everything that goes, into their
hands goes directly to the sick and
wounded sufferers, Nothing is lost or
wasted jim our "diet kitchens but the
immense number drawing upon them
makes it necessary to buylargely and
increase our supply Of stores. l can
not believe but that the generous peo-
pie Of the North would meet this de-
mand, so important to the comfort
and restoration of our brave soldiers,
| it. it were properly presented. Scores
and thousands Of people who could
not give dollar in money, if asked
would generally give supplies. Now
! is just the time to pickle onions, can
land dry all kinds ofsmall fruits. But.
ter should be put up in cans or small
kegs. Large quantities are needed
pickles of all kinds no fear of sending
too many. All kinds of dried and
canned fruits, farina, corn-starch and
the like, should be sent forward in
large quantities. There is also great
lack of rags, bandages and lint in our
hospitals. A great responsibility rests
upon every organization that makes
itself the almoner of the peoples boun-
ty. Every day complaints and pray
ers of neglected, ill-fed soldiers, 60 up
to God from our great hospitals, and
men die for need of the supplies that
the people would gladly furnish ifthoy
knew the facts and had the assurance
that they ought to have, that their
supplies reach these sufferers. There
is a heavy responsibility some where,
I still have faith in God and the peo-
pie" The general agent at Nashville
writes: qOne half of tho children of
OHIO should now be at work pealing
onions and putting them in vessels of
vinegar the other half preparing
