See where You Stand,

Had any of the gentlemen who have
persisted in styling themselves "con-
servative Republicans" been told
three years ago that in this short time
they would be on the same platform
with Wendell Phillips, Lloyd Garrison
and Horace Greeley, how Indignantly
they would have protested; yet there
they are, all in the same bed. Tell
them to,day that their votes elevated
to power men of the same sentiments
as those named, and they cannot de-
ny it; but had they been told at the
beginning of this war that they would
consent to the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia, to the recog-
milton of Hayti and Liberia, and the
reception of negro ministers from those
governments on the same terms as
other foreign ministers, and finally to
the endorsement of an Abolition proc
lamation as party test, they would
have said-'Is thy servant dog that
be should do these things"
The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1864-03-09

These things are selt-evldent:
That our Union of States cannot
be maintained without maintaining the
States of which it is composed, IN their
integrity under the Federal Consti-
tuition.
That if Legitimate and constitutional
State Governments have been, from
any cause, suspended or are dormant,
for the time being, they can only be
restored and revived by bringing into
life and activity their functions under
their respective State Constitutions
and the Constitution of the United
States.
That in this way, and in this way
only, can States be restored to, or in
other words, kept in the Union, and
the Union itself be preserved and
maintained.
That any attempt to RECONSTRUCT
State Governments or to bring into,
or keep States in the Union on any
other basis than that of their Consti-
tutions and the Constitution of the
United States, as these existed at the
commencement of the rebellion, is an
attempt, no matter what the plea or
pretext may be, to destroy the rights
and sovereignty of the States--it is
q death h-blow aimed at the existence of
the States themselves, as recognized
and guaranteed by the Federal Con
stitution and the unanimous consent of
the people of the United States for
more than seventy years.
Such an attempt is consequently
revolutionary, and, whether designed
or nor, will ultimate, if carried out,
in the complete and final overthrow of
the Federal Union.
That war carried on for the pur-
pose of aiding in, and consumating
such purpose, is as much a war for
the destruction of constitutional Gov
ernment in the United States and for
the dissolution and overthrow of our
Federal Union,sas is the war which
Jeff. Davis and the rebel leaders in
the South have waged against that
Government and that Union.- States

We find in one Of the Memphis papers
the following anecdote of man who knew
too much.
During the administration Of President
Jackson, there was singular young gentle-
man employed in the public P. 0. at Wash
ington. His name was g., he was from
Tennessee, the son Of widow, neighbor
of the President, on which account the old
hero had kind feeling for him, and always
got him out of his difficulties with some Of
reference was distasteful.
Among other things, it is said of him that
while be was imployed in the General Post
Office, on one occasion he had to copy let
ter for Major H., high official, in answer
to an application made by an old 6 n,leman
in Virginia or Pennsylvania for the estab.
lishment OF hew post office. The writer
Of the letter said the application could not
be granted, IN consequence Of the applicants

letter came into G's hand to copy, being
great stickler for plainness, he altered "prox

it, and asked g., why he altered his letter.
Why replied g., because don't think
the man would understand what you meant
by proximity
'Wel,' said Major Il. try him; put in the
proximity again.
In q few days letter was received from
the applicant, in which he very Indignantly

Mr.. Berry, the Postmaster General. said TO

Poor G.. went out. but his friend, the
General got him another pace. This time
G's ideas underwent a change. He was one
day very busy writing, when a stranger
called in and asked him where the Patent
Office was?
Il don't know said G..
Can you tell me where the. Treasury De-
partment is" said the stranger.

the enormous total. If we further in
clude the losses occasioned by the
shock given to business in the first
years of the war, the injury done to
our commerce by the rebel privateers,
and the wealth which would have been
created by the men employed as sol,
dies, the aggregate will swell to a
sum SO formidable that the party that
laughed and sympathized when their
leaders so jauntily exclaimed, "Who's
afraid?" should at least be convinced
that they were then following the
blind guides. But what reason is there
for supposing that these leaders pos
sess more wisdom now? Have the fa-
naticaF passions and sectional hate
which bliaded their judgments then
abated anything of their violence by
the progress of the war?
"Nobody's hurt" The shallowness
and levity which prompted this noted
remark were a shocking prelude to the
bloody scenes that were about to open
under the direction Of the man who
uttered it. The corpses that moulder
beneath the soil of a hundred battles
fields; the hundreds of thousands of
brave fellows who perished in military
hospitals; the hundred and twenty
four thousand widows that are now
applicants for pensions are sad and
terrible commentary on this needless
and heartless text. Do such leaders
deserve the confidence Of the country?
Shall its destiny be longer committed
to their keeping?-[N. Y. World.

The Secret of the Florida Move
RnBput, ..a

The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Herald refers to the re-
cent Florida expedition as curious
development of Executive intermed-
ding in military affairs. 1t is said
that upon hearing of the movement,
General Halleck was quite taken by
sui prise, and wrote to General Gill
more to know what he was doing at
jacksonville, place that had been
two or three times in our possession,
and was not considered worth holding,
and asking how he came to 60 there,
not only without orders, but without
the knowledge and contrary to the pos.
tive Instructions of the Secretary of
War and General Halleck. In reply
General Gilmore is said to have in>
closed a letter of instructins from the
President, transmitted to him by Mr..
Hay, late private Secretary to Mr..
Lincoln, directing the movement to
be made. Since this statement has
been in circulation it is rumored that
the expedition was intended simply
for the occupation of Florida for the
purpose of securing the election of
three Lincoln delegates to the Nation
al Nominating Convention, and that
of John Hay to Congress. The cost
of the operation to the Government is
estimated at about one million of dol
lars. .-[Philadelphia age.
And according to our dispatches this
morning, besides costing million dol
lars to fit out the expedition, it has
cost us hundreds of lives, cannon and
munitions ofwar, and a hasty retreat.
So much for Lincoln management, to
secure three delegates to the Repubh>
can Convention of the 7th Of June.

REpARrEE.--Some yea

REpARTEE.-Some years since,
Elder John O'Kane, of Indiana, was
holding public discussion with the
Rev. W. M. Daily, d. d., LII. D., a
methodist preacher, and at that time
President of the State University at
Bloomington. At ONE period OF the
debate, 1--WE mean at one period PAR
TIoULARLY, for there were many such, \
Daily was logically corvered and COM
pletely tied up. Becoming highly ex-
cited and very mad---as the manner of
Methodist preachers is--and desiring
to overwhelm his opponent with an
idea of the prevalence and univer-
salty of Methodism, he turned furious.
ly on Brother O'Kane, and glaring like
o tiger, exclaimed, "Sir, you will find
Methodist preachers all the way from
here to hell!.' 'Yes," said Brother

to have me put Doctor McP. back,
over the heads of majority of his
own congregation, that, too, will will
be declined. / will not have control
of any church or any side. ,E
This letter, while it does not revoke
Stanton's orker of November last, di-
recting Bishop Ames to run the Meth
odist churches in the West and South
west, seems yet to cast damper upon
it, and shows "Uncle Abe" to be a
sly old fox. He don't intend to
interfere with preachers or chur-
ches-not he; but he leaves STAN
toms order untouched to be inter15e
ted by his tools in their own way and
to suit their own purposes.
Accordingly, we find General Ben
jamin F. Butler causing, as late as
February last, nearly two months af-
ter the date of Lincoln's letter, the
following order to be issued:
HDQ'Rs NORFOLK & PORTSMOUTH, |
NORFOLK, Va, Feb. II.
General Orders No. 3.
All places of public worship in Nor
folk and Portsmouth are hereby pla-
ced under the control of the Provost
Marshals of Norfolk and Portsmouth;
respectively, who shall see the pulpits
properly filled, BY DISPLAYING, WHEN
NECESSARY, THE PRESENT INoUMBENTs
and substituting men of known loyal,
ty and the same sectarian denomina>
ton, either military or civil, subject
to the approval of the commanding
General. They shall see that the
churches are open freely to all officers
and soldiers, white or colored, at the
usual hour of worship, and at other
times, if desired; and they shall see
that no insult or indignity be offered
to them, either by work, look or ges-
ture, on the part of the congregati61.
The necessary expenses will be levied
as far as possible in accordance with
the previous usages or regulations of
each congregation respectively.
No property shall be removed, Ell
ther public or private, without permis-
sion from these headquarters.
BY command of Brig. Gen. E. A.
WILD.
This insolent order tells its own
story. 1t is one of the blackest ty-
amy and despotism. There is no
appeal, ecclesiastical or civil, from
let's done under this despotic order
If the Provost Marshal dislikes cler-
,ymen, all he has to do is to order
lin out of the pulpit, and put one of
lis own creatures, even if it should be
| negro servant, in his place. The
egular members of the church must
support the pastor thus thrust upon
hem, and not dare by look or gestu ure
o signify their dissent. This is a
strong government with vengeance,
md it is making the church an ad-
unct of the State in earnest States
