Ivy. They are not thus in rebellion. They
are one and all in an attitude of loyalty to-
ward the government. and of sworn allegi-

In no one of them is there the slightest indi.
cation OF resistance to this authority, or the
slightest protest against its just and binding

The laws of the United States have been ex-
tended by congress over all these states and

reopened, aud federal taxes imposed and lev
led. And in every respect, except that they
are denied representation in congress and the
electoral college, the states once in rebellion
are recognized as holding the same position
as owing the same obligations, and subject te
the same duties as the other states of oul
common union.

notice an article over the signature of j. K FLEM-

to us.
Messrs. IvIsoN, PHINNEY, BLAKMAN & Co. never
wrote us asking US to attend the Institutes for
the purpose of lobbying their books through,
nor did We engage Mr.. K1NGsBURY to do So We
have too high estimate of the intelligence of the

StFuct them in reference to their action on tie
question of text books. We believe them quite
competent to decide for themselves.
