But win the wisdom and virtue aud patri-
otism of the nation submit to this degration?
Impossible! The country is neither blind
enough nor wicked enough for that. At the
last Presidential election, the distinct issue
was, slavery in the Territories"-yes or no?
And the verdict, fairly and squarely rendered,
was, mo-" On that verdict the South rose in
war against the Union. For nearly four years
we have fought for the validity of demo-
cratic and constitutional election, on the sla-
very question. We have sacrificed blood and
treasure without stint to maintain fair ma
tional verdict against the grossest OF earthly
denominations. Now, if we put slaves into
the Constitution as property, Wnere 40 we

the Union, If the South could fully trust us,

Would such peace endure? Would the
public, Christian conscience die to accommo-
date the politicians? The strife would at
once be renewed In the schools, in the press,

why Cen. .MoOlellan was Removed,

|
Hon. Montgomery Blair, x-Postmaster
General, during recent speech'in Maryland,
made the following disclosure, showing why
Mcclellan was removed from the head Of the
Army Of the Potomac: baa iaarias Il -aa.lt
a "Why did the President relieve General Nc
Clellan? know the impressions under which
he acted Intimately. The President was friend
ly to him, while those of more consideration in
army concerns were hostile to him. The War
Committee at Washington, and the military
authorities consulted at every step of its pro-
ceedings, were inimical to his retention OF com
mand. They held that his delay, with much
superior army, to attack the enemy that re-
manned at Bull Run after the defeat there of a
portion of our forces, from the midst of sum-
ner to the succeeding spring, when the enc
my thought fit to retire to a stronger position;
that the delay to attack the small force at
Yorktown when the war was to be transferred
to Richmond; that the delays and mistakes
there, in keeping our army in the swamps OF
the Chickahominy until the enemy found 0p-
portunity to attack and defeat it, was proof
that the command should pass into other hands.
The President, though shaken, resisted the i'm
pertunities then made to supplant the General.
The battle of Antetam restored his confidence,
though painfully disappointed in the failure to
complete the defeat OF the enemy by sending
forward his reserve, when Burnside repeated
ly urged it after carrying the bridge over the
Antietam, seeing the enemy in flight, and re-
curing only the aid of reserve veterans to
crush the enemys rear guard, pressed forward
to cover his retreat The delay, then, it was
commended, gave the enemy the night, and the
succeeding day and night to cross the Poto-
mac. This fatal delay, and the refusal of Nc
Clellan TO press pursuit on Lees demoralized
army Immediately after, when the fords of the
Potomac gave him opportunity to do so, or TO
head him from his base nearer Richmond, by
taking the shorter line aud cutting him off by
interposing in front, were again made the
grounds of demand for his removal. The
President adhered to hin-went to him in his
headquarters at Antietam-u urged him to move
to anticipate Lee and confront him, if not in
the valley between the mountains, TO interpose
between him and the Rappahannock below
them. This was the peremptory requirement
OF the President, apparent on the face of the
well-reasoRed letter he addressed to his Gene
raj. He failed to meet the demands made on
him by the man who took all the responsible
ty, who tried at first persuasion and at last ex-
action, and felt that there was nothing left but
to carry out his resolution, which sense Of
duty had compelled him to adopt Here are
tbs simple facts, and they explain the Presi-
dents motivee."E GsawoIf II fsE iss $500

THE LITTLE PEOPLE.

A dreary place would be this earth
Were there no little people in IL,
The song Of life would lose its mirth,
Were there no children 10 begin 1t.
No little forms, like buds TO grow,
And make the admitting heart surrender
No little hands on breast and broE.
70 keep the thrilling ove-chords tender
No babe within our arms 70 leap.
No little feet toward alumber tendiDgi
No little knee In prayer to bend,
Our lips the sweet words lending.
What would the mothers do for work.
Were there no pants or jackets tesfingl
No tiny dresses 10 embroider
No cradle for their wAtchiul caring
No rosy boys, at wintry morn,
With satchel 10 the school house hAsting
No mefrF .huuta as home they rueh,
No precious morsel for their tasting.
Tall. grave, grown people at the door.
Tall, grave, grown people At the table
1he men on business I'll intent,
The danes lugubrious a. they're able.
The s,erner souls would get more stern,
Unfeeling natures more inhuman,
Aud man % stole coldness turn,
And woman would be less than woman.
For in that cline towards which we reach,
Through Times mysterious, dim unfolding,
The little ones with cherub smile
Are still our Fathers face beholding.
So said His voice in whom We trust,
when In Judea's realm preacher,
He made a child confront the proud
And be In simple guise their teacher
Life's sone, indeed. would lose It's charm,
Were there no babies to begin Il;
A doicful place this world would be.
We're there no little people IN IL.

made an address, which was very feebly ap-
planded. in favor Of having colored ministers

he thought that God was agoing to give us
an exodus of the whole colored concern to
South America. After we had got this little
f,mil, difficulty settled and the funeral over,
we should then push on to the isthmus OF Da-
rien and into South America, clear out Mex
leo and give the people OF color pre-emption
right to that territory. During the speech
of Dr. Moody the greatest excitement pre-
vailed. and when he sat down a resolution OF
