Christmas.

: 8
II would seem remorseless piece OF irony
TO extend to our people the usual greeting Of
"a Merry Christmas.'' In the midst of a
land desolated by the iron foot prints OF war,
with half 4 million Of their best and bravest
sleeping In bloody graves, with a funeral pail
hanging IN every house where the Christmas
garlands once were wreathed, with universal
poverty in the place Of universal plenty, and
dark and threatening clouds stin brooding over
their future, it seems like the utterance of
heartless sarcasm to exclaim, "a Merry
Christmas.''
Yet, 1t was in the moral midnight Of the
world that the Christmas star first rose. 1t
was upon an altar whose prestige had dc.
parted. that its mild lustre first fell, illumina-
ting 1t with glory such rs the first temple
had never known. 1t was amid the Earring
dfscords of political and civil strife that those
melodies of Heaven first broke upon the air
6 Peace on earth, good will among men,
Our modern mode of celebrating this great
Christian Anniversary may be incongruous
and inconsistent in times like these; but
Christmas, in its true method of observance,
is the very festival for periods of darkness and
tribulation. It brings it's gold and 1rankncense
and myrrh not to kings in their purple, but TO
poverty in its lowliest estate. 1t converts the
stable into palace and the manger into a
throne. It leads us to the feet Of Him who
came to ''visit US in great humility who re-
joiced in the companionship of the sorrowful
and meek. whose miracles were performd not
only to attest his mission, but to relieve hui
man Affections, and who will come again, in
glorious majesty, to reward suffering virtue
and to vindicate the ways of Con to man.
II, then, we are not able to celebrate this
~x,;f n, fho ~
former years, it may, at least, bring us conso
lation in our sadness; it may teach us the les
sons Of charity and praise which the hosts of
Heaven chanted over the cradle Of the Son OF
Con; it may inspire with hope Of a day
when the sword shall be beaten into plough
share and nations shall not learn war any
more and it may admonish those whose hab-
itations yet echo with the voices OF joy and
gladness to arrest the melodies Of their mirth
till they have heard and stilled the wintry
walls Of poverty and sorrow at their doors.

50 far from being traitors, and liable to bc tried

the applause of mankind. Yet THAD. STEVENS
and his followers are continually bowling for
the blood Of JErr. DAVIS, and are endeavoring

whether prored guilty or not. They are con-
tinunlly crying out for confiscation-less than

theory-how can it be .nished for it? Only
upon the theory of President JoHNsoS-that
the Union was never dissolyed-can case OF

The speech of Mr.. RAYMOND, a part of which
unpublished on Saturday, has, no doubt, been
read with interest by every person who feels
any 3nxiety with regard to the present condi
ton of public affairs. 1t takes the ground
held by the whole Union party throughout the
war, with the exception of THAD. STEVENS and
q few followers, who were then, and continue
to be now, quite as good Secessionists as JET
fERsoN DAVIS or any member Of his Cabinet
If the promises of Mr.. RAYMOND be sound, his
conclusions are certainly correct. He differs
from THAD. STEVENS in both, precisely as, du-
ring the war, any Union man would have
differed from any Secessionist.
Mr.. STEVENS contends that these States are
not in the Union-that they are territories, as
New Mexico is a territory-that, as such, Con-
gress has right to treat them, being, as SUCH
subject to the discipline and tutelage Of Con-
gress. In this condition OF affairs it is his de-
sire to hare the Southern States in a state of
pupilage for an indefinite time-the shortest
period he speaks OF is thirty years. Gene
raj objects are to be accomplished by the re-
commanded legislation. In the first place,

ever sent to the National Councils by any
Northern State-himself the author of the
enthusiastically rejected all imputa-

clared that the struggle was for power and for
nothing else. TRAD. STEVENS, without, proba-

used, if his speech be correctly reported:
