Four millions of Black Americans,
faithful to the Union in its years of
peril, cry up TO us from the South not
to let the National justice be slain
Tribune.
Is not the Tribune slightly in error?
The cry of "Black Americans" in the
South is for rations and medicines, and
not national justice" For instance,
here Is a Washington dispatch which
the Tribune carefully suppresses;
"The medical department of the
Freedmen bureau estimates thatit has
seren thousand sack and helpless negroes
under its care and treatment through
out the southern States"
Why don't the Tribune give these
"Black Americans" whom it is killing
by inches, food and medicine insted OF
continually ga555ing about "uational
justice ?" Horace Greeiy geo. have
murdered more negroes in the past
five yearsupQ}, ever been have killed in
the middle passage" and yet the Tn
bao'e insults common intelligence by talk
ing about 'Just'ee TO the negroe. wheu
will the press have courage to cram
down the throats of the abolitionists
their base falsehoods, and hold them
responsible for the unmitigated cruel
ties which they have inflicted both on
the white man and the helpless
negro.

Secretary Seward on State Sover-
eighty.

Secretary SEWARD, in his Auburn
speech, after denying that the Presi-
dent was the originator of the policy
of restoration which he is bending
every nerve to mako successful, plants
himself on the democratic doctrine of
State sovereignty as follows:
The absolute existence of the States
which constitute the republic, is the
most palpable of all the facts with
which the American statesman has to
deal 1t may have stumbled over INTO
treason and rebellion, the fact that all
legitimate deductions and purposes,
nevertheless remains. In practical
sense, at least, the States were before
the American Union was. Even while
they were colonies Of the British
crown, they still were embryo States
= several, free, self-existing and in
destructible. Our federal republic ex-
lists, and henceforth and forever must
exist, through, not the creation but
the combination of these several, free,
self-existing, stubborn States.
These States are not stakes driven
49, 49, 49, - - - - '----N'
nor are they posts hauled together,
squared and howed, and so erected
loosely upon it; but they are living,
growing, majestic trees, whose roots
are widely spread and interlaced with
in the soil, and whose shade covers
the earth. Applause If at any
time any of these trees shall be blown
down or upturned by violence, it must
be lifted up again in its proper place
and sustained by kindly hands until
it has renewed its natural stability and
erectness.
This is sound Democratic doctrine
and was never better expressed than
in the language we have quoted.

The empire brings no peace to Mex
leo. From the copious details of Mex
lean news published, that unfortunate
country was never 50 near the worst
condition of anarchy as it is at the
present time. 1t is in the condition
of East Tennessee during the reign of
the rebellion there. Neither age or
sex, combatants or non-combatants
are safe against the armed foreign
mercenaries Of Macmillan and their
local confederates. The Liberal ar
mics, beaten and dispersed by superb
or force and superior arms, have re-
appeared in the shape of bands Of GU
errillas, operating over the whole coun-
try; and here and there an exposed
detachment of French, Austrians, or
Belgians are frequedtly surprised and
routed. To put an end to this har-
assing style of hostilities, Macmillan
has issued his decree for the extermi-
nation of his enemies found in arms,
including the execution of those taken
as prisoners. The result has been To
make the war on the part of the lib
erals q war of the black flag. Thus
it appears, that the five French officers
lately captured by them and put to
death "were sacrificed according to
Maximilan's own method Of doing
business"

&C., expedisnts 10 wean from pa.yanism
a rude untutored people, to whose
senses and enjoyments it became nee
essary first to appeal, as a means OF
ultimately convincing their reason.
The first settlers in New England,
were men who considered all such ex-
pedients not only questionable, but
sinful. They had neither time nor
inclination for such recreations they
held in adherence all religious festi-
walls, and among the earliest penal
enactments of the Colony of Plymouth,
we find the following extraordinary
phraseology:
No ono shall keep Christmas, or
any saint day, read common prayer,
make mince pies, dance, play cards, or
play on any instrument of music, ex-
cept the drum, trumpet, and jewsharp."
In opposition to the feast days of
the Church of England, they set apart
frequent occasions of fasting, for "the
modification Of the flesh" Whether
peace or war, victory or defeat, famine
or plenty, health or sickness, their
favorite mode of expressing thanks or
contrition, was by general FAST
But this could not continue forever;
man was not made so to pass life
His Creator has bestowed upon him a
faculty of rich enjoyment. Human
nature is the same in every age and
everywhere. Circumstances may sur
round us, that shall, for awhile, milf
tate against festivity, but melancholy
must give place to merriment, and re-
Taxation supersede severity, and the
next generation invented New
England Thanksgiving"
1t is the "New England Thanks
giving" which has been transferred to
the West. Coming in any other form
than "by authority of the Governor, >
an official formerly regarded in each
and every one of the New England
States as inferior in station to no man
living, it loses half its significance
We published Governor CRAPo's proc
lamation, therefore, some weeks since,
and in this issue give the Presidential
proclamation in its proper subordinate
order as to time, according to our
notion of the fitness of things.

Counterfeit Groenbacks.

The business of counterfeiting green
backs is becoming quite extensive
Three $40 notes were passed last week
at Albion, though the difference be-
tween them and the genuine is quite
marked. 1t is prudent for the people
and merchants to be on their guard.
Some Of tho latest counterfeits are
described below:
$l00s-The work on this bill is
coarse and poorly done, particularly
the eagle and the words United
States"
S50s-Well calculated to deceive.
The head of Hamilton rather coarse,
the impression somewhat blurred, as
il p SepaggiRvea bills YbqsH the 81 the j
and especially the back, are splendidly
executed, the signatures being perfect.
s20s-Very coarse and poorly done.
S10s-These are the bills referred
to above, and are dated March 10,
1862, letter G. The green ink on face
of bill very much too dark pink seal
bad and light; head of Lincoln bad
both in expression and execution-like
a wood cut. On the right upper por-
ton are sixteen rs instead of fifteen,
as in the genuine. The back is well
done, except that the lathe work
around the reading matter is too
coarse. The signatures are well done.
$5s-These bear no comparison with
the genuine in execution of the work.
The portrait on the right end and Lib
erty OH the left, are exceedingly coarse.
There is no excuse for being deceived
by them.
S1s-General appearance very coarse,
and may be readily detected. The
head of Chase is darker than in the
penuine. Free Press.
