The remark of Mr. Ross, of Ohio, quoted a
:ew days ago, that Judging from the course

many features and finding fault with so many
provisions Of the Constitution, and seeking to
tinker it in so many particulars, he was inclin-
ed to doubt whether they were really friendly
10 the present form OF Government may be
followed up by another, which is, that it is now
quite evident that not few OF those who pro-
sessed and called themselves Union" men
1nllst che war lasted, and whilst they lived at
The North, or at the South, within the Federal
lines and under FedeIal authority, in reality
never desired to see the war ended, and were

eat, moderate Union men, who held to their
honest opinions without joining in the strife or
doing injury to others, or those who were fight

ZION end bravery of the Southern people, even
whilst they considered their cause to be a
7roog one. It applies to those who were

5over Of the Federal bayonets-who had no look

So1rovs Of those amongst whom they had lived
20. years-who chuckled at placing their neigh

tions which. they have incurred as the
Just punishment of their crimes. But
more than this, they desire and expect
to carry out triumphaptly all their
principles and purposes against the
General Government, by establishing
those very principles which they sub-
mitted to the arbitrament of arms, this
they expect to do by establishing a
party that shall control the policy both
of the State and Nationa1 Governments,
and restoring to place and position the
men who have gone down by the failure
of the rebellion; these men are to come
up again into place, imbued with the
same principles and purposes that act
uated them in going into rebellion, and
in carrying it on during long, bloody,
cruel, and expensive war. In other
words, it is to restore the old so-called
democratic party, under the new name
of so-called conservative party, that
they may thus accomplish by political
engineering what they failed to achieve
by their appeal to arms.
They will find the" boys in blueo will
still be on hand, and moreover, that
their hard schooling on picket, and on
the skirmish line, has made them wary

eye for the rebel grey, and can detect it

cealed under the brush, or the fog, as
well as whom it appears in the open

THE NERVOUS NIANAND THE MAN OF
NERvE.-The following is from Mr..
Stewards speech at the New York Acad-
envy of Music on the 22d ult.:
Some of you, few or many, have been
occasionally in theatre. You may re-
member play that had some popular
ity some years ago, entitled 'The Ner-
vous Man and the Man of Nerve"
Both of these characters were weH-to-do
country gentlemen. They had been
friends in early life. Their friendship
grew with their years. They lived in
distant parts ofthe country. The ner-
vous man had a hopeful son; the man
of nerve had a loveable daughter. By
some freak offortune, or some more ca
pricious god, these young people had
accidently come together at a watering
place, and there formed an attachment
unknown TO their parents. In the
meantime the nervous man and the
man of nerve had come to an agreement
to marry the two young people together,
under a belief that they were entirely
unknown to each other. Each parent
made the announcement to his child
in a mysterious manner. The nervous
mans son was told that he was to be
married to an unknown lady with
whom he was sure to fall in love at first
sight, but whose name must be with
held until the day Ofthe ceremony. The
daughter of the man of nerve received
similar pleasant intimation. Each
lover protested, each parent was per-
emptory, each lover impracticable. As
natural consequence both ran away,
and, as was quite natural, both came
together, and were cladestinely mar
ried. When the nervous man heard of
his sons contumacious disobedience he
denounced him, disinherited him, dis
| owned him, and declared he would
IDtg "
of nerve heard of the flight of his daugh-
ter he Immediately summoned his de-
pendents, who sought to restore her to
her father. One parent was all passion,
the other was all decision. While they
were comparing their mutual and COM
mon grief and disappointment, the
married lovers came trembling into
their angry presence, and kneeling
down asked forgiveness and parental
blessings upon what was now irrevo-
cable. What was the parents surprise
10 find that the runaway match. was
| Just precisely the one they had planned,
and the supposed failure which had SO
deeply excited them. The man of nerve
/ ACQUITTED himself with becoming resig-
nation, and since it had all ended right
| he extended to the lovers the boon they
| begged. The nervous man refused al
| together to be comforted, prOpitiated, or
even soothed. He refused, and de-
clareu Inhb ne WOulu PeISiSI loreVeF IN
refusing to receive back the son who
1 had been so disobedient. When his
ontburst of passion had somewhat sub
sided, the man of nerve said well
now, old friend, why won't you forgive
] him Have you not got the matter all
1 your own way, after all ?'' tfWhy yes, "
replied the nervous man 81 have got it
all my own way" ..Then why will
you not forgive him ?'' said the man OF
