NO LYING.

The Springfield Republican, a lead
ing Republican paper of New England
has some sensible remarks under the
caption, 1.-THE true Issue and no ly
ing"
In relation to the foolish charge
against Gen. Mcclellan of his Offering
his services to the rebels, it says:
p LET us have fair contest. Let us
see and stand to the real issue. The
Union cause is not so poor as to need
lies for its support ard lies will not
help it. Gen. Mcclellan never offered
his .ervises to the rebels; Mr. Pendle-
ton did not vote against supplies for
the war or thank God that he so voted
and the Republican presses that are
reiterating these and other falsehood'
and forgeries are only damaging their
oyn cause and giving substsntiala.d t.
the enemy. Shame on them'thst they
have 30 littlespprecistiou ofths strength

THE DECLlN OF NATIONS.


to show that this country 's fast dc
scending from Republic to N'Iit'
ry despotism, lie j." lo''g'' a gov
ernment of the people, but an autocra
cy which rules hy the lay net. W.
are fast approaching in cur history
that roint reached by Rome some two
or three nnared ye"rs after Christ
and in which events occurred that pro
duced he d'v,4 4sll of tae might'esl
empire the world has ever known. At
that time affairs had so deve'ole'
themselves that the praetorisn Guar's
became SO powerful rs to destroy the
balance ofpower between civil and nil
itary rule. Then we're seen such occur
rences as charactcrize our ovn time
Prior to this era in the history Of the
Rcman Empire, the rulers were taken
from the nobiest and wiscst Of the pep,
pie. Under the SWAY Of Julius Caesar
of Eadrian, and Alexander Seyerus, the
empire attained glory never eqalled hy
other States. With foreign wars came
increase Of the legion, uutil at length
they became insolent and aggressive.
They usurped the function of the civil
authorities, made ,and unmade Enpe-
rors. plundered, levid taxes; and in fine
,ook to themselves all the powers
Legislative, executive and judicial-of
:he government. They commenced
and then speedily fc.Iored the decline
Of the empire. Then It was that the
high position of Emperor was polluted
by being held by mercenaries, bufFoons,
slaves, and others who had ambition
tc aspire to the throne and the un scrup-
ulous audscity sufficient to execute the
steps necessary to attain the elevation.
Then property was con6scated men
barished, imprisoned and condemned
to death with no other warrant than
the will of . lawless soldic,y.
Such is very much the case in our
own days. The same cause which pro-
duccd the ruin Of the Roman Empire
and the same symptoms which attend
ed its decay, are visable in the present
condition of this country. Then an
Arab robber. a Thracian slave climb
ed to the heights once occupied by the
Caesars: now rai}spl.tting buffoon. AL
igaoran: uncultivated backwoodsman.
occupies the place once held by Wash :
irgton, Madison, Jefferson. Then the
military power overshadowed the civil;
now the bayore,s control the ballot
box. Then the few rich, or the ta-
vorites Of the re,gning Emperor, be-
came richer, while the masses grew
p,orer. Now shoddy rides in gi'deA
carriages makes itself resplendcnt
with flashing diamonds, Grams its mon
ey bags with III gotten wealth, while
the masses groan under enor nous tax
es, are threatened with a merciless
conscription, and driven to be slaugh'
tered for cause which they loathe
and a lsader whom they desplse
Rome fell under these combined inhu-
ences, and 80 surely as effect follows
cause, so surely will this country reach
the same depth Of degradation, unless
the powers cf government be speedily
wrested from those who are now hold
ing them. Chicago Times

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The Star Of this
r. n. says: Information from the rebel
lines up to as late - Friday morning last,
Is 10 the effect that Lee had not - yet been
reported moving towards the Shenandoah
Valley, bat is in his old position on the Ra-
pidan. Such movements in his cavalry -
were going on, seemed to be in the nature
Of q Reconnaissance to ascertain Grants
purposes. Lees army IL preparing for .
sudden move, but seemingly disposed TO
wait for Grant to open and develop his
game.
ME movement of our gunboats up the
Rsppahannock raised an alarm in Rich
mond that Burnside was affecting q land
ing there. and new alarm has been raised
among the rebels of q movement up the
aouth aide Of James river.
The rebels are divided between the fear
that Lee may be worsted in Richmond,
should he fall back there, and the fear that
he NAV be out-hanked by Grant should be
remain in his present position. Two weeks
aoo Lees forces amounted to 10000. and 1t
Il believed now that with such reinforce
ments as he has been able to bring up they
do not now amount to over $1,000 men.
