MARCHING On The New York Trt-
bune saws John Browns sou is marching
on ~ To which Brick Pomeroy replies:
"We think so. A number of people
think so. John Brown in the body cor
porate maj lching on through Kansas steal
ing horses and other property. He march
ed to Virginia to steal nigs, and break
laws TIL at last he marched to eternity by
a different line. And now we Judge his
soul is marching on 1t marched through
the army-stealing all it could reach. 1t
marched through custom houses, post-of-
fees, collectors bureaus, legislatures and
congress, stealing by the gross. 1t march
ed away from the White House lately
with ninety large boxes in charge, and
left the Presidents mansion Quilted. 1t
has marched with its mortal counterpart
Ben. Butler from New Orleans to Lowell,
and through all the Departments at Wash
ington. Yes, the soul of John Brown is
marching on. and we think il thine the Devil
wrapped chain about this essence of Re
publicanism, and anchored the soul OF the
horse e-stealing Ottawotamie."

EXIT SAMBo.-The Tribune gives a
melancholy groan as it writes: "Orders
have been issued, and are ready to 60 out
that will deprive, by the 1st of May, every
colored soldier of the right to wear the
United States uniform, not one being left
in service" And, alas has it come to
this? Must Sambo doff the blue and re-
turn to the dull duties of the shovel and the
hoe? or are these discharged darkies to be
regarded as peculiarly 1.-The nations wards?
1t is cruel, wicked shame to turn adrat
these "gallant sold. RS" who "bore off the
PALM" and without whose aid we could not
have saved =" the life of the nation" Just
think, for moment, of having "dead ma
ton on our hand, and all for the lack of a
few niger soldiers.

The D1suN1oN DEFEAT IN New JER-
ser.-The New Jersey Legislature adjourn
ed on FRIDAY, (6th) sine die, without elect
ing Senator to fill Mr.. Stockton's place
To Mr.. Scovel the Republican presiding
officer of the Senate, who acted with the
Democrats, is mainly due this signal defeat
of Disunionists. After the adjournment,
Mr.. Scovel was waited upon by a grea,
many distinguished Democrats and Repub-
lican,, who congratulated him upon bis
patriotism.

e. Now when for twelve m

a. Now when for twelve months not
an arm on all Gods earth has been raised
in hostility to our flag. when the outside
limits of our authority have been stretched
to make the conditions more severe our
brethren of the South have yielded it all.
what excuse is there for those who once
boasted of their independence to continue
to follow the lead of the disunionists of New
England. When the object for which all
the sacrifices of the last FIVE years were
ostensibly made is in our easy reach, is it
possible that the "Republicans" .of Penn
sylvania will allow themselves to be made
the instruments in the hands of those who
are the original disunionist?

REMOVALS FROM OFFICE.-The Aboli-
tion journals are bowling furiously at Pres
ident johnson for a few removals from Of
flee OF persons who have spoken abusively
of him or his policy. What would they
say if he should do as Mr.. Lincoln did,
send them to some hostile? 1t is a fact,
however, we'll to be noted, that these papers
make more fuss over person thus turned
out Of office, more complaint of its tyran-
ny, &c, than the Democl attic papers did
when Lincoln was sending hundreds to
prisop because they used what his Majesty
was pleased to term "dislopal language"

week, with some very interesting reading
matter, among which will be found the
Presidents Veto Of the nigger-rigbts bill :;
and also the bill itself, Everybody-and
his wife-should read them. We expect
to be "blowed up" when the editor gets

the President. P.D.
ca 1t is said there are $4,000 idle,
worthless negroes in Virginia, congregated
on the Peninsula between Fortress Monroe
and Yorktown, to whom are issued 10000
