proposing to assassinate Governor johnson. The

A National Bankrupt Law.

Though humanity and justice, and we may add
morality, called for the enactment of a uniform
Bankrupt Law, yet, when the bill was introduced in
Congress in December 1852, fierce howl went up
from the fault-dnders all over the country. And
though public sentiment demanded the passage of
the law, political par-as seized upon it as means
Of weakening the party in power, and of advancing
the interests of those out of power Those who as
sailed the measure pretended to do because of its
uncOnsttutionality, knowing that the courts of the
country had declared it constitutional Blackstone
says: Laws of bankruptcy are considered as laws
calculated for the benefit of trade, and founded on
principles Of humanity as well as of Justice" Eng
land has proved the truth of this remark There
the body of the debtor was the subject of inhuman-
ity until such law was enacted In this country
we have as general thing abolished Imprisonment
for debt but we imprison the CL Of the unfortunate
man, however honest he may be, and there is no
remedy for him but in the practical operations of
this law.
The enterprsing but unfortunate citizen needs it.
men Of integrity, enterprise, talents and prudence
need il; and the wounded and well returning from
the battlefield need it. TO enable them 70 repair their
broken fortunes With accumulated debts and eager
creditors, the honest QeDJOI-anQ full
Of such-has no power of accumulation. He dare
not engage in business. Friends, although willing
TO confde in him, and to loan him capital to start
upon are deferred because of the eager creditor who
will seize upon his first investment Hence, wor-
thy business man is limited TO a clerkship, to an
agency, which will barely keep soul and body to-
-ether In some instances honest men, with large
and helpless families, driven to the subterfuge of
doing business in other mems names. These men
kept in poverty and humiliation and their cred
itOrs are not the gamers by any sort of means
Whereas if released be would feel free go TO work,
and soon make livelihood, and something beyond
10 give TO honest creditors, and as an honest man
this would be his course
We were the advocates of uniform Bankrupt
Law in $780, at which time we edited the Jonesboro

in these regards. We were not applicant for the
benefits of such measure then, nor are we now

MIR. LIncOIn'S Troubles,

That Mr.. Lincoln made some blunders and COM
mtted some mistakes during his four years conduct
of the war, partly through the influence of bad
councillors, and partly from want of discernment
on his own part, will not be denied by any candid
who observed the progress of affairs during his
administration. But no man ever had such troubles
to contend with, and no administration ever had
such a load to carry. Bitter abuse and denuncia-
tions of the government followed our first reverses
impatient and ignorant criticism of military opera
tons up from all quarters; a factous and dis
loyal opposition doomed up from powerful faction
calling themselves Democrats; Encouragement and
dependency were sung out in Congress; prophesies
of the utter hopelesne of success were put forth BY
tory journals of the North and Northwest; COM
plants of grievous and burdensome taxations were
made from the stump; violent attacks were made
upon the government for its arbitrary arrests" and
DEGREES; unmeasured abuse of the President was
heralded abroad for his suspension of the writ of
habeas corpus; then came the difficulties arising
from the inexperience of the army. These were
some of the troubles the Government had to con-
tend with, and only some. Our only establishment
is that the administration was not swept away by
the outburst of treachery and that it was able to
control the storm as well as it did. Traitors and
fools often in command, and thieves handling the
funds of the Government and specializing at the ex
pense of the Nation and to the disgrace of our army
both at home and abroad. But Mr.. Lincoln lived
to see the rebellion put down, and his country saved
God taking the good man and noble President to

AbOlltiOnists and SecessiO nlsts.

For years past the extreme men of the North,
holding ultra abolition sentiments, and the worst
class of fre-eaters at the South, holding disunon
sentiments have been laboring to destroy blood
bought Union. These men have represented the
original abolitionists and secessionists The first
class hold that the Constitution is "a covenant with
death and league with hell the last named have
long since repudiated the Constitution, grown sick
of a republican form of Government, and called for
a change. The joint conspiracy of these two par
ties reached its extreme point in its wicked designs
against the liberty of the American people when
this war was inaugurated For years these two
malignant factions have worked heartily together,
plotting the same end though for different purposes
The sought to perpetuate slavery, and the other
TO destroy it. And strange to relate, each thought
that in order to the Union must be destroyed
The plans of the secessioniss in this criminal part
nership eliminated in the act of evying war against
the United States and in the establishment of the
most abominable military despotism the South
ern portion Of the country that ever disgraced a
civilized of men. The plans of the other por-
ton eliminated in bringing million of men into
the field to defend the Union and in hurrying hun
dreds of thousands to their graves from the loyal
and disOyal States, leaving widows and orphans to
mourn and to suffer for the want of the necessaries
of life. This fearful state of things, brought about
by the cooperating forces of these two malignant
parties ought to be visited upon them by the real
people to the latest generation. Think of the blood
and treasure it has cost to try and the country
from this foul conspiracy. Let it be always and dis
tinctly remembered who these partners in iniquity
were, and let them always and distinctly feel the
consequences. The war of abolition leaders, few in
number, upon the SOCIAL ORDER of the South, gave
protect for secession. But the South is the more
criminal, because without the stupendous folly of
the rebellion, the abolition party would have been
utterly powerless for mischief. But the plot was
contrived with Satanic ingenuity on the part of the
South. She contrved to divide her national conven-
tons first at Charleston and next at Baltimore and
to secure the election of Republican candidate,
and then turned about and claimed tina: this was a
sufficient cause for war. Hence the dismal dilemma
into which they have plunged the country

The Presidents Views Of the Punish
mGnt Of Traitors.

There are several important passages in Andrew
Johnson's address to the Pennsylvania delegation,
which should be conspicuously before the public,
as follows:
- "There can be no liberty without law; but
law is useless unless it is enforced. You can have
no Union without law, you can have no liberty
without law; the crimes Of the country should be
defined by law.
- "Treason is defined in your Constitution and
in the acts of Congress- and the law should be en-
forced that those who have incurred the penalty
should be made to pay it.
So But Of the conscious Intelligent leaders
who have involved the country in this rebellion,
and caused innocent and deluded men to commit
treason, shall only say that their crime should be
punished and they should meet their fate accord
ing to law"
Human executive clemenCy may sometimes
be Of doubtful propricty. Mercy is considered one
of the highest attributes of Divinity and in some
cases it may be well to leave its exercises TO Him
who controls and judges all"
#*"We have heard that mercy has been slain.
Mercy may be destroyed, but trust in God that
Justice has been preserved. [Applause] Mercy has
been slain and it is for the American people to see
that Justice shall be done for the overthrow of
mercy.
The foregoing sounds very like the doleful sounds
heard in the drama of "Lucretia B0rgia," just be-
fore the upright collins are revealed to the Mortified
gaze of the jewellers.
