A VERY LOYAL MAN.

We have q neighbor down street who
people soy is "loyal," and a few de-
clare that he may possibly be respectable.
We are not going to discuss the question of
possible responsibility, but we refer to an
instance Of his loyalty, Although that
loyalty was abundantly exemplifed by the
stealing arrangements that fairly earned
him the sobricquet Of "BoUNTY JEFF"
and that justly called down upon him the
anathemas Of both the soldiers ard eiti.
gems that be s%windled, his extreme loyal.
ty has still another means of exercising
itself. JEFF is hale and hearty ; weighs
about two hundred. He eats 80 much
beef that some Of the boys who have not
the fear Of the "thunder Of the Times"
in their hearts, call him "Beef hound"
And still another class Of individuals who
are not ~over.poNered by the majesty Of
his counteuance and the avordupo;s
weight Of his dirty presence, in view Of
his extreme care of both his purse and
his carcass, call him "Jef, the Jew."-
These last mentioned noble qualities Of
JEFF, with his extreme loyalty, urged him
to make an attempt to be exempted from
the draft. 1t was not by paying money
Any fool that knows JEFF would know
that. He went to the Provost Marshal's
office. lie said he was not capable Of do.
ing military dutyj ause,-spavin, ring.
bone, obesciy, loyalty, niger on the
brain, wind-broken, and all the other ills
that Abolition loyalists are heir to. The
Marshal could see all these ills, but, I'M
der his instructions, they were not suA6-
cient. JEFF then claimed to be forty.fye
years and two days old. It.can be proved
he is but forty one. But the Provost,
fearful there might be a small mistake on
age, adjourned the hearing of the case
for further evidence.

" M N!
We print clseFhefe in our paper to-day,
and to the exclusion Of othet matter the
very able and eloquent speech Of Hon.
g. u. PENDLEToN, on the Nqdestion Of
amending the Constitution 80 IS to abol-
ish slavery in the States. To those who
read it,-and we hope one of Jul rea,
ders will fail 50 to do-no apology Is nsc-
essary on account of the space it occupies.
II is the speech Of q great patriot and
statesman who has ne thought but for The
welfare Of his country and the preservs-
ton Of the liberties of its citizens, Clear,
logical and conclusive in argument, and
sparkling with patriotic devotion to the
institutions bequeathed to us by the faith.
.ers Of the government, every line trem-
bles with the natural anxiety of the great
statesman who sees the ship Of State,
with false pilots at the helm, rushing on
to inevitable destruction. 1t Is one Of the
greatest speeches ever delivered in Con-
gress- though, made under trying circum.
stances, and with frequent Interruptions
from those who could MOI sit still and
listen to the truthful, burning words Of
the speaker. That speech will never be
forgotten but years hence, when the
maddening passions which arc now rend-
ing in twain our once happy country,
shall have been appeased, no matter what
the issue of the contest may be, it will
be one of the brightest chapters in the
history that will surely make the namc
of its author immortal.

"loyart Of Ashland, who, last fall, shout

Democrats because they claimed, that, in
the event Of LlScoIN's ele ction, there
would be a CONSUMPTION every three or
four months, and that the war would be
carried on for years to come, are no,c
convinced Of the truth Of our assertions,
for scarcely three months have elapsed
when VIC Z called upon to raise money
to clear tile township from the draft
There is no age raising money 70 gil our

ENLISTs

Last fall the Abolitionists voted for
LINCOLN and the prosecution Of the war.
Now he calls upon them to gil the depls.
ted ranks Of his army. They assured
him, by their votes, that they would see
that he got through with the 'rbefoee
breakfast job which he has had upon
his hands for nearly four years, His
cause is lettering. This is a very oppor.
tune time to fulfil their promises. Ye

SPIRIT 20.

T.. LaNNL. HLNNN HH" ALA
Since the negotiations for Peace have
been unsuccessful, the people Of the
South, highly indignant at the terms Of
peace proposed by DIR. LINCOLN have
renewed their VOWS and entered into the
contest with that spirit and energy that
animated our patriotic sires in their sew
en- years. struggle for Independence
There was q time when The South could
have been brought back into the Union
by Cancellation and compromise. That
time, we believe, has gone. Ten millions
Of people--brave and froe-AMERIcANs
Thoroughly imbued with the spirit of
independence, will nsver bow to tho be-
hests Of an Abolition despot. 9'
Tho war, in reality, has just com
menced. The Southern people are more
determined than they were four years
ago, and at a large and enthusiastic meet
ing held at Confederate Capital, a short
time since, they resolved to establish
their Independence, or sacrifice all in the
attempt. And yet the Northern people
are lulled to sleep by the syren song Of
peace, while there is 10 probability Of the
war ending, as long as the people, drunk
with blood and fanatieism, continue to
~replenish the slaughter houses of LIN
COLIN & Co. How long, oh, how long
will tho people 60 blindly onto their owe

Thc Abolition Amendment

In order that the Abolition Amend
nent to the Constitution may becomaval-
id, it is necessary, according to q provis.
ion of the Constitution, that it be ratified
by the Legislature of two.thirds Of the
States. The Abolitionists have never
admitted that the Southern Statos are
absolved from their connection with the
Union consequently there are thirty.six
States to act on The amendment, Of which
tw~enty-four will be requisite to secure its
adoption. 1t is probable that twenty-five,
including the illegitimate State Of West
Virginia, will vote for it. Those are not
enough Of what has heretofore been known
as the Northern States, to pass the
amendment, even if Maryland and Mis-.
souri, are included, by a recent act of
Congress, Tennessee, Arkansas and Lou.
isiana are prohibited from being represent
ed in the Electoral College consequently
they are not entitled to vote on the
Amendment, If any Of the States refuse
or neglect to act on the measure, it is
equivalent to voting against it. There is
a probability that it may not be ratified
by the requisite number Of States; bu
the Abolitiopists in that case, would let
the measure lay until enough of Adolf.
ton States have been admitted to secure
its ratification, as the measure stands for
ratification in all time to come, unless
Congress reconsiders its aclion.
