.I.ittle Delaware. wa,

This gallant little State has provoked the
indignation of the radicals, because its Leg
islature refused to ratify the revolutionary
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, recently passed by Congress.
They stigmatize it as "a mere truck patch
of the nation" an object for scorn to point
her. Slow unmoving finger at.o. Some
of these mallgnants hope that when the
soldiers who have gone into the army from
that State shall return, they will 'giye att
tention to the lurking sympathizers in the
rear, who have taken advantage of the alb
sence Of the citizen-soldiers to give false
directionto TO their public affairs"
So, iftheradicals at home cannot, through
the eogency of argument, carry their revo.
lutionary measures, they propose to crush
out all opposition to them by calling to
their assistance the physical power of the
sol1iers when they shall have returned
from the War. Is there not danger that
this power may in the end turn upon them
and rend them? Be assured, it is power
they will find difficult to manage when,
inTeturn for their sufferings and privations,
these brave men shall discover that the po-
litical power Of the country has been placed
in the hands of the "colored man," and
that they shall be compelled to labor, with
the s'poorer classes" of the country, to pay
the excessive debt contracted in the prose-
cution of this War; and that the immense
brood of "shoddyites are reveling in
wealth, part of which was dishonesty
obtained. The "poorer classes" and the
great mass of the soldiers will chafe ex-
ceedingly under hard, drudging labor, upon
which a privileged class shall live arro-
gantly. ,.s..1 - '...-.-

Extract Of a Letter from n soldier.


A soldier in the army writing home tC
his friends, in Tuscarawas county, from
near Beaufort, S. C.,g January 9th, 1865
makes the following very sensible retlec-
tions upon the state of affairs just now: 10
IL am very glad to hear of the coming
draft and hope that all that are, subject to
military duty will yet get chance to serve
their country, especially those thatare sup
porters of old Abe, including myself as
voted for him and am willing to abide by
his management of affairs, and no man, il
loyal, that supported him, will attempt to
evade the coming draft.
''Since wrote to you last we have left
Savannah, and are now in the bloody State
of S. c., and expect in a few days to march
upon that much dreaded place, Charleston,
aud as every other stronghold has sue
cumbed before the invincible army of Gen.
Sherman, so must this" '"' J"
The above was published in The Ohio
Democrat of last week. The writer of it
voted for "Old Abe" and he does not seek
exemption from military duty. lie is in
the service; and thinks ''no man, if loyal,
that supported him, will attempt to evade
the coming draft" This talk sounds very
much like sense. 1t certainly is a shame
that "loyal" men who supported "Old Abe"
should seek exemption from military SER
vice, by inducing men to go into the army
who will not take into the army any
zeal whatever, who will not, in reality,
strengthen our military strength; but will,
if anything, weaken it. 1t would be very
much better If these men were to volunteer
instead of allowing the country to be wor-
ried with q draft. .F..4.

Coate.s over Tariff Laws.

The Chicago Post says that the great con-
test over the Tariff laws, once SO decisiyely
Z won BY the Democracy over the Whig par
ty, win again have to be (" fought over"
This language occurs in the following par
agraph: M 49, q y
( SyN"The public mind has, during the last
twelve years, been so epgrossed with the
African, and of late years by the war, that
under the specious pretense of raising rev.
enue to sustain bleeding country, the man
sufaeturing districts haYe succeeded In. cor
rupting the legislation of the country re-
specting a tariff, and have thrust aside the
Just principles of that mode of taxation, to
make way for q system of class legislation
that is wholly unjustifiable. Time was
when all legislation was subjected to scru-
. tiny as to how In its probable and possible
effects it would injure or benefit slavery.
Under the smoke of battle to relieve the
nation of that intolerable tyranny, another
equally obnoxious onelias grown up, and
the great contest over the Tariff laws, once
so decisively won by the Democracy over
the Whig party, will have again to be fought
over, and fought over before generation
that has grown up:withouta any special edu-
cation on that point. .uo.I vgTJ-,
"That legislation which provides for the
few at the expense OF the many, which taxes
the whole people to protect class, is Who'll
ly, indefensible, because it begins at the.
wrong end" .. -,s
Other laws than the Tariff laws may need
overhauling. The great laboring mass OF
the people are not likely to be able to
stand the taxation that will necessarily be
throwno ON their shoulders by the exemption
of the immense amount OF capital that is
being put into Government securities. The
capitalists Of the country should as
cheerfully contribute to sustain the various
Governments as the farmer, the mechanic
and the laboring man; and if he does not
those classes will, in time, grow discon-
tented. o.. \ -ls---

As THE matter now stands, no one can

AS THE matter now stands, no one can
question that the Rebels have gained much
by the informal interview at Fortress Mon
roe. The great desideratum with a major
ity of the people Of the free States Is Ma
tional Integrity. Give them that and they
will trust to the future for everything else.
Such, however, is not the tempered the Ad-
ministration. 1t cherishes the delusioh that
the South can be revolutionized, Northern
lied, within reasonable time, and the
material interest of great people, sick of
war and staggering under burdens greater
than they know how to bear, do not weigh
a feather with the President and his adyis-
ers. Meanwhile, the free States are being
subjugated more rapidly and certainly than
the slave States. The rights of States,
which are denied to the South, are no lon
ger ours.-B Buffalo Courier. % .e;sa

Hon. Charles BOesel-IHis Prenm-
BILE and Resolutions.

We print below the preamble and resolu
tions offered on Monday afternoon, in tn,
Ohio House of Representatives, by Hon
CHARLES BoEsEL, the industrious and at
tentive Member from Auglaize. The
friends of the Administration in the House
affected great Indignation over them, and
at once moved their rejection, which was
carried by a party vote. A number Of
speeches were made, in which Mr.. BoEsEI
was vehemently scolded and his preamble
and resolutions were vigorously denounced
He has, however, the satisfaction of know
ing that his constituents approve and in
dorse his course, which is more than can be
said for some of the Abolition Members:
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, III these degenerate days, when
violations of Constitutions, infringements OF
popular rights, corruption and mad fanti-
cism, are the order of the day, the patriot
and statesman hail with true delight every
effort showing untaltering devotion to the
old Federal Constitution, to the faith of the
Fathers and to the Republic as they made
it, preserved and left it to us, their degen-
crate sons, as the richest legacy ever devils
ed by man; and
WHEREAS, While the Rebellion still RACES,
in this our darkest hour in the nations his
tory, when all hearts should join to restore
peace and the Reunion of our distracted
States, Congress has passed an amendment
to the Constitution abolishing slavery in
all the States of the Union. an act which,
especially at this time, cannot prove other
wise than disastrous and destructive to eve
ry hope for Union and Peace; tending to
make either or both impossible; and
WHEREAS, Several OF the States in this
same time-serving spirit have already APP
proved Of said amendment to the Constitu-
ton; and at time, too, when many of the
States of the old Union for four years last
past have not been, and are not now, repre-
sented in Congress, and are yet so severely
to be affected by such change, which de-
clares to them at once that they can never
again return to the Union with their rights
as guaranteed to them by the old Constitu-
tion; and,
WHEREAS, To stem the tide and the mad
career of this wild spirit of the day, the
true old States OF Delaware and New Jer-
sey have boldly and manfully declared
against the aforesaid change; therefore,
Resolved, That the thanks of every true
Union man, and especially of this General
Assembly, are due to the said States Of Del
aware and New Jersey; that we heartily
congratulate them, and do hereby tender to
them our sympathy and support in such
noble and glorious work.
Resolced, That the Governor of this State
be requested to forward copies of the fore
going preamble and resolutions to the Gov
ernoTs of the States of Delaware and New
Jersey, to be by them laid before the Legis-
latures of their respective States.
