squeamishness. Let US look back little
and see'what an abolition congressman
Mr.. Conway of Kansas said upon
this question nearly one year ago in a
letter to, and published in the N. Y,
Tribune. Conway said ,,there are few
rejecting minds which have not come
to the conclusion that the independence
of the South is an established fact,
whether recognized or not. The war
,or the futsre, therefore becomes simp-
ly an instrument in the hand of poiiti-
cal managers to effect REL suits favorable
to their own personal ends" Now
who il there that does not know this to be
so , Again Mr.. Conway says IL find
that these men want power, and care
for nothing else and that for the sake
of power they would kill all the white
people Of tho South, or take them all
to their arms" Again he said; ,,As
things stand I would "a crifice the IN
ion to freedom any morning before
breakfast" We do not know that any
one Of all these congressman ever called
Mr.. CONVEY 10 account for this Ian
guage, as seriously as it shocked the
public ear at the time. On the contra
~ he was fcasted by Mr.. Lincoln and
his cabinet, as was Wendell Phillips
eighteen months ago after declaring in
the House Of Representatives that ..he
had labored nineteen years to take as
many states out Of the Uuion, and
that he then thanked God that the Tn.
ion was destroyed" :
The attention of our realers is call
ed to the change in the advertisement
Of Clarke & Son in this issue Of our
paper. Owing to the wretched condi-
ton Of the roads goods arrive slowly.
We notice on our streets Capt. DON
ahugh Of the ~ Michigan regiment.
Dr.. Cleanner, Dr.. Cowan of the firm
of Cowan T. Schellenger and Geo. W.
Pierce have al returned from the city
to be followed in few days by heavy
stocks of goods. From present indica-
tons our town win contain heavier
stocks of goods this spring than ever
before.
John W. Cowan who has been east
on three months visit dropped down
among the people Of our town OH Wed
nesday. He was heartily welcomed by
all his friends, which inchde all who
know him.
Cowan t. Schellenger uro having
among their stock Of goods coming on
this spring fiue and extensive assert
ment Of ready-made clothing. Their
goods will be on hand about the last Of
next week. Hank Ml.6hell rs looking
for his goods daily, and E. NJ. II. Browa
goes for his sumuer stock next week.
Scarcely we'll read man in the COM
munity but that at times has serious
focetedegs over the bankruptcy and
ruin staring our people face to face.
For all this there is but one remedy,
and sooner CIR later the people will be
by . stern necessity compelled to re-
sort to that remedy. Atits mere men,
tien many timid people now start halt
affrightel, having been taught that re-
pudiation means destroying whatever
amour: Of Indebtedness is rerudiated.
Such belief however is fallaey. If
the government has mortgage, as it
has, Of over $4,000, 100000 upon the
lives and property Of the people, to re-
pudiate that debt is simply transferring
that amount from the government cef-
fers to the pockets of the people; or a
distribution among taem of that am.
cunt of wealth. .f. .... .....
