he wanted southern men 70 understand mum
Der oil things; aud he served notice on them
that. ON the Hrst day of the next congress- he
should introduce bill for the personal liberty
NJ every free m IN Utis ceatisaenf The souther-
ners viii not probably complain of any such bill,
and a good many white men of the north who
have been deprived of their liberty without due
process of law would hail such a bill with Joy
and there Mexicans, Peruvians and Haytiens
who may feel an interest IN it. Wilson said he
belonged to a set of men who sleep on the field Of
victory, and who cannot be defeated II Is said
that Wilson went down to see the first Bull Run
battle, and that when they began to FIRE and
charge furiously, his tail stuck out at right
angles, and his hair did rot lie very smoothly on
his brow. He had no notion of sleeping on the
field of victory whichever way the battle nigh,
turn. Wilson declared that there was nothing
more sublime than the record of the black mar
10 this struggle, and he insisted on il that the.
should be an ornament and blessing to the
country He closed by declaring that the touch

ought never to associate with white men; and VI

This fault he imagined might easily be re-

The Boston Post, in speaking of the ,ele

Tue Boston Post, in speaking of the tele-
graph cable says:
There will be little genuine regret in
America at the failure of this Atlantic work.
The scheme was purely English one, engi-
neerei ny Eosllshmen aud by English oapi-
tai, and there was grasping, iliioeral odor
about the whole enterprise. and certain con-
tingent hangers also. which rendered it oh
jsctionable TO Americans, though they would
have been the first to offer their congratuIa-
tions upon its success and the most generous
with their patronage. But now that the un-
oonquera lie obstacles of submarine tele
graph are fully demonstrated it is for citizens
of the United States to aid the effort in an
other direction, for the same object. The
country which first taught the great tele-
graphic principle should accomplish its most
triumphant application. There better
routes for the electricity than the ocean one,
aud rs other countries ready TO do their
share of the important work, let US not be
backward IN performing ours.
