must have felt greatly chagrined when
they saw such men as RAYMOND Of
New York, STILLwELL of Indiana
and DELANo of Ohio, vote for the
plan of the Committee on Recon
struction. They must have realized
that they had overreached themselves.
The consolidation of the Union party
is The last thing they desired But
in their eageruess to apply a political
knife to the throat of their adversaries

the bill somewhat, though it may see
proper to pass it just as it comes from
tho House. The fate of the Consti-
tutional Amendment win then depend
upon the result of the elections this
Fall in the Northern States. IF the
Union party is saceessful b good ma
jorities, we think the Southern States
will accept the result, indorse the
Amendment, and secure the admission
of their Representatives in Congress.
Should However, the Bnion men man
ifest signs of giving way, the Southern
people will be encouraged to resist
longer, with the hope that they may
ultimately gain admission into the Un-
ion with the increased political power
secured them by the emancipation of
their slaves. Under these cireum-
stances, it becomes the Union men of
the country to prepare for the final
STRUGGLED We must secureIthe leleG
tions this fall, and maintain our SUI
premacy in Congress, if we. would
crown the success achieved by our
armies, with a reconstructed Union
and Government based upon princi-
pies of justice and equality, and at the
same time destroy the power oftan
aristocracy that has hitherto materi-
ally interferea with the prosperity and
of the country. IF we per-
nit ourselves to be defeated, we have
lost the fruit of ali our labors and
sacrifices, and, the blood Of our dead
heroes viii have been shed IN vain.

The present leaders of the JOHN
SON party in Washington, of which
Hon. CHARLES Mason, chairman of
the National Democratic Committee,
is the most prom nent, issued an adj
dress during the Presidential cam
paign of 1864, from which we take the
following kind allusion to the present
idol of the Copperheads:
In Tennessee, the Republican candidate
for the Vice Presidency, holding, by the APP
pointmerlt and at the pleasure of the Pres

law, and repudiated by Congress, has as

ONE of the grounds upon which the
President vetoed the FEeedmen's Blu
reau Bill was, that it placed too much
patronage Id his hands. His recent
course in removing honest officers
merely because they do not indorse
I" my policy, and thus attempting to
exercise despotic power over the faith
full adherents Of the organization to
which he owes his elevation to the
Vice Presidency, is a striking comment
airy on this objection. To pander to
the prejudices of the rebel States, he
is as ready to assume unWarrantable
privileges in the North as he was to
oppose the exercise of rightful aui-
thority in the South.-Phildd. Press.

BALTIMoEE, July BY the arrival of the steam
ship Cuba from Havana, with dates to the 4th
instant news has been received, which is impor-
tant il true. 1t is reported through private
sources that revolt occurred near Puerto Prin-
cipe. The insurgents declared for independence.
Troops were cent against them; skirmish took
place, and several companies OF troops went over
to the insurgents, who then proceeded to the
mountains. It is further rumored that four
steamers, bearing the Chan flag, landed two
thousand men on the Island, who formed juno
tion with the revolutionists. The Cuban authori-
ties had not made such news public, and it seems
to need confirmation.
