the ro,c4y brigade was again in attenlance,
evidently having added several recruits to
their number, during the week. Their con

close of services, as well as alter, was any

advisable for the borough officers to keen
an eve on the brigade, and have some OF

time during he week erdin" June 9th, the
Methodist church on East Ridge, Burnside

pied persons, who carried off book case
containing about sereRtg.tre dollars worth
OF Sabbath School books, and the pulpit
Bible and HYMN book. The books have
not been found syet, nor is any one suspected
Of doing the deed" Such scoundrelism de-
serves the severest punishment of the law,
and we hope tie thieves may be detected
and receive their just rewards.

through which the most of the trade enters the

terror the cars will make among horses when

ing this, number of our citizens met at the

called to the chair and RObt. d. Hoffccker ap-
pointed secretary. The object of the meeting
was stated by Geo. w. Cummins, who with
others proposed and discussed different modes
20 open and secure safe ingress aud egress from

committee to take the matter in hand and ra-
port at meeting to be held at the same nlace
On Saturday morning next, what thev NAV

Bad Advise.

Wade Hampton, Of South Carolina, and
Gov. Humphreys, Of Mississippi, have both
spoken against the Constitutional Amendment
recently They both speak of the Northern
people as their "oppressors. This is bad
policy. Just in proportion as the South de-
nounces the North, so will the Copperheads.
The Democratic party foresees that through
the South is their only chance of return to
power; hence it studies to please" The
South has but to express its opposition or ap-
proval of a measure and it at once receives the
sanction or condemnation of the Democracy
Were the South suddenly to turn in favo r
of the Amendment the Democrats would at
once commence to endorse it, and before elec-
ton day they would turn upon us with the
same arguments we are now using. They op-
pose the Amendment not because they think
it so Objectionable, but because the South
thinks so.
There is nothing in the Amendment that the
North does not ask for as much as u matter Of
justice as a guarantee of security nothing
whatever is intended as punishment or an
oppression. The first two measures, against
which so much objection is made, would have
been insisted upon (has been for years. wheth
er the war had occurred or not As has beer
said, more magnanimous terms could not have
been suggested. Instead of the Southern lead
ers being imprisoned, banished or hung, as il
other countries where like offences are com
mitted, they are only asked to subscribe to al
additional clause to the organic law, which i
binding on all alike, and which is intended a
even justice to all.
The moment the Southern leaders and thu
Southern journals begin to abuse the Nortl
they excite suspicion. Such abuse can do NJ
good. Nothing has so consolidated the North
as the demands and arrogance of the South,
backed up by the Copperheads. 1t is now
generally believed tina: the Amendment viii
be ratifed--let the South set its house in or
der and cease its abuse. By that means til,
country can be restored to harmony and pros
perity. The Union party desire to see thi
result, and are working to this end. The ad
mission Of the Southern States is what tn,
Republicans wish.
