HAMEIN RESIGNS.

Hannibal Hamlin, collector OF the port of
Boston finding that he would be removed has
resigned and will now make an effort to get
elected u s. senator again.
Mr.. Hamilin says party is being formed
In the country of "those who sought to des-
troy the government" To show that his ss-
sertion is untrue, we have only to ask him if
the one hundred generals who have signed
the call for the Cleveland Soldiers Conven-
ton Sought TO destroy the government ?"-
Did Mr. johnson seek to destroy the govern
ment, or MIR. Seward or Mr.. Welles? Did
General Grant and Admiral Farragut? Did
Henry j. Raymond, the Chairman of the re
publican national committee, or Thurlow
Weed, or Henry Ward Beechsr? Did the
leading conservative men in our own com
munity? Did Thomas j Turner, chairman
of the Illinois republican state committee p
Did Post Master General Randall Did
Secretary of Interior Browning?
This miserable. unmanly, and ungsnerous
partnership; this assumption of all the pat
riotlsm on the part of leading radicals, has
had its effect on the public mind but the day
for it has passed; reason and judgment
again assert themselves, and our people be-
gin to see through the tinsel patriotism of
these men, and recognize that democratic
governors and states and men did their full
share, and more, from the beginning to the
close of the war and now when peace has
come they see that the relations of peace
must follow. All our interests demand it
and withou, it we shall have another war
annihilating the constitution, destroying the
Union, and disgracing humanity.
The Portland, Maine, Argus, printed where
they know all about the little idiosyncracies
of the renegade Hannibal, gives him the
following ''wipe:"
Hamlin has keen smelIers. He is an old rat.
When he found he was to be removed from the
Boston collectorship for cause, he straightway
rendered his resignation. His first purpose was
to hold on and be made martyr of; but when
capital in this direction was likely to be spoiled
by evidence on file in the treasury department,
which even Mr.. Fessenden would say justified re-
moval, he suddenly changed tactics, threw up
his commission and claimed credit for devotion
to principle in giving up, voluntarily, $4,000
year rather than give up those great principles
which he could not feel In his heart to abandon
and which seemed to run directlv into that
senatorial seat which Senator Morrill, now oc-
cupiesl We repeat, Hamlin is old official
rat and can follow the scent of an Office more
keenly than any other person in Maine.

THE ALTERED TONE OF PUBLIC
SENTIMENT.

Deny it as they will, the radicals may as
we'll at once and with good grace admit that
since the 18th day of August, 1866, mighty
revolution has been effected in public senti-
ment, and this great work has as yet only
begun. 1t is sweeping oyer the entire coun-
try with irresistible force, and must continue
its successful career until the last vestige of
radical disunionism is swept aside as a thing
of the past, remem bered only to be abhorred.
The tour of the President has awakened the
conservative men of the north to a knowledge
| of their real strength, and this ascertained,
they 90 into the contest with freshly inspired
| courage and with entire confidence as TO the
final result
If proof of this wonderful change be want
ing, it would be found in the open and can
did avowals of support of the Presidents
plan of restoration by thousands of distin-
tinguished sciviians and soldiers in every
part of the country. But above and beyond
these formal declarations, there are tens and
hundreds of thousands of others who have in
formally given their adhesion to the great
Union plan of reconstruction, and whose
powerful aid will be brought to bear in It's
behalf during the coming canvass and at the
polls. For the tirss time in six
years, the workingmen will have an
opportunity of expressing their SEN
timents without being ovsrawed by employ
ers; and, in addition to this, soldiers will do
their own voting and their own thinking
Again, the commercial and manufacturing
interests of the country demand such
change of programme as will enable them to
resume their former profitable intercourse
with the people of the south.
Thus on every hand are unmistakable in
dications of an altered tone of public senti-
ment, desire for change from the mad
dening and hurtful excitement of the past six
years, to that more rational and profitable
condition of affairs which complete and full
restoration Of all the states to their rightful
positions at once will be certain to secure
Let the conservative men take courage then,
and press forward the good work. They
have right on their side, and, with proper
energy and effort, well.directed, will soon
have might.

In reply to the oft repeated charge by rad.
zeal newspapers that the lives of northsrners
are unsafe in the south, the New Orleans
Bee thus speaks for Louisiana: mo fact has
been more prominent in this state for more
than year past than the desire of the peo-
pie to have northerners settle and live anon
them. The Louisiana press has teemed With
appeals to induce northern immigration
No conditions were laid down as to politics.
If the immigrants should be honest indus
trious, enterprsing, not Migrants or Grimm
ais, that was deemed enough. No instance
can be cited throughout the state where a
northern man, simply for being such. has
been moIested and maltreated, and has failed
to have the same protection from the law
which any other person could enjoy. There
never was time, indeed. when northern
men in the south, as a class, were treated
with more Cancellation. From commercial
and industrial no less than from political
considerations, they have been made the OBJ
jects of studious tenderness"

Gen. Grant appears to give the radicals a
great deal of trouble. They say the distin-
guished and wary General was "taken by
surprise" at the White House when the pro-
ceedIngs of the National Union Convention
were reported to the President. Grant taken
by surprise They intimate he did not know
what he was about when he went there, and
the same gentlemen would contend he doesn't
know what he is doing in travelling with the
President at the present time. But we are
inclined to believe that the General knows
where ne is, what he is about, and the pur-
poses of his movements, as well as those who
think him incapable of taking care of him.

A SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR.

FROM SCOTT COUNTY.
Rock Island and Scott County to Hold
Union Pic Mics on the Island,
Hereafter.

The Old Settlers Association, of Rock Is
land county, held it's first Pic Mic Oh the Is
land of Rock Island (by permission of Gen.
Rodman on Saturday last. An invitation
had been extended to the Scott county So
ciety TO join in the Pic Mic, which was &C
cepted:
The Old Settlers of Rock Island county
met at Court Square. at about O'Clock in
the morning, and the officers of our society,
with the Rock Island Band, proceeded to the
ferry and received the delegation from Scott
county and escorted them to the court house.
They numbered some 40 or so carriages
After escorting these to the Court House
the grand procession was formed by Mai.
Wilson, acting as chief marshal, headed by
Vice Presidents Jacob Norris Esq, of Rock
Island. and Timothy Du,ton Esq, of Edg-
ington, followed by the band and an escort
of Rock Island county Old Settlers, on foot
Next came the Scott county delegation, in
carriages, followed by the Old Settlers of
Rock Island county, to the number of some
$50 carriages or more, making in all about
200 carriages. The members of each society
were distinguishable by their badges
Capt. Charles Squires acted as marshal for
the SCOTT county delegation.
The whole procession, M ving to the inspir-
ing music of Hail Columbia," proceeded
to the Island, the train reaching from the
slough bridge to Gen. Rodman's head quar-.
tiers, on the Island, when they were joined by
parties crossing from Davenport. on the rail
road bridge, also from Moline, and others
that came from different points later in the
day, swelling the crowd upon the grounds
to nearly 1000 persons. The day was
charming and everything seemed to conspire
to render the affair successful Gen. Rod
man had from the first entered into the spirit
of the occasion, clearing off the grounds in
the shady groves near the hospital buildings,
which he had thoroughly cleansed that in
case of rain all could be sheltered.

marks by Jacob Norris Esq, president of the
day, DIR. Gregg being out of the state) giving

line.) "Auld Lang Syne" was then sung
by the whole audienoe-and, we believe
that never before did those beautiful groves
resound with more earnest melody than upon
this occasion.
Joseph Knox Esq, of Chicago, one OF the
early settlers of this county, having come
down to attend the Pie Mic, was called out
and occupied an hour or more in relating
anecdotes and "reminiscences of early days in
Rock Island county, and the west, after
which, dinner was served upon tables prspar-
cd for the occasion, and well ladened by
people who understood how to furnish the
good things of this life." The attendance
was % much larger than was expected that
