The several counties are requested
to hold their meetings for the selcc-
ton Of delegates Saturday, the 9th
day Of June. .-.'
We invite your earnest attention to
this call, and beg you will send up
delegates who shall truly repre-
sent the wishes and best interests OF
the people. Five years ago, the
Union party was organized on the
all important but simple platform OF
the preservation OF the Union and
Government. To it, the loyal and
earnest men of all parties everywhere
rallied, and have ever since sustain.
ed it.
Five years Of earnest co. operation
and labor together have made us
friends, and taught us many valuable
LESSONS, which we shall do well never
to forget They have taught us that
violent party spirit and bitter partisan
feeling are great evils, and tend to
mislead the Judgment; that, while we
have the power aud patriotism To
crush a great and wicked rebellion,
we need the exercise of charity and
forbearance TO overcome passion and
prejudice; that "cternal vigilance is
the price OF liberty" that every step
of our progress, in the recent great
struggle, has been marked by the
| finger of Divine Providence.
| Is the work for which we Joined
hands completed? True, the war is
at an end, and We rejoice in the re
turn of peace; but the same politica
issues and great national questions
are before the country now, that hav,
stirred mems minds and hearts fol

and second, to perhaps in some cases
indicate to house wives detsils that
they may not have thought of before:

WORDS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Or the 18th OF January, 1S4S, Just eighteen
years ago to-day, when Abraham Lincoln was a
member of Congress, he uttered the following
words in the House of Representatives Any
people, anywhere, being inclined and having
the power, have right to rise up and shake
off the existing government and form new
one that suits them better, This is a NEST
valuable, most sacred right--a right which
we hope and believe is to liberate the world.
Nor is this right confined to cases in which
he whole people of an existing government
may choose to exercise it. Any portion of
such people that can, may revolutionize and
make their own of so much Of the territory
az they inhapit."
We do not quote the above to show the in
consistency of which the late President was
guilty, but to remind those who denounce the
South for their course, how one whose memo
~ they revere, thought on the subject only
eighteen years ago.

CAPITALIZATION OF POWER.


By reference to our Geographic columns,
it will be seen that the radicals in Congress
are still clamorous for blood, more blood, and
that the Attorney General "would regard it
as direful calamity if many who have been
spared by the sword" be permitted by the
law to enjoy prolonged life, From all quar-
tiers, determined, and it would seem, a pre-
concerted opposition to the President is plain
ly manifested. Shylock like, they would have
the pound of flesh !" but we caution them
to be more careful, lest in their bind fanati-
cism, they lose, not only the pretended, forfeit,
but the bond ITSELF The South trusts to find
in Mr.. johnson Portid, who tempering JUS
tice with mercy, is disposed to " let the dead
past, bury its dead, - and meet fairly the issues
now presenting themselves.
Unaided, bitterly denounced in Congress,
if not supported by the people, his efforts
must prove unavailing, and before the united
demons of anarchy, fanaticism, and thirst
for power, he will be but IS creed shaken
by the winds" The anathemas from North
ern pulpits, the mad rawlings of Northern poll
ticians, and the senseless revilings of the
Northern press, are lit lie calculated to engen-
| der feelings of love and friendship, or desire
| for fraternal union on the part of the South,
to these her persecutors,-yet, for many rea-
sons, readily OWNED by the careful observer
| of current events, we are now most anx-
| ious for what we once dreaded-ceatralizati
/ of power-now seek, what we once strove to
avert-Federalism. With this as the chiet
element, and restricted $ uffrage as minor
guarantee, all may yet be well. Free suf-
rage, the privilege Of every outcast Of society
with no interest at stake, unmindful of the
countrys veal, careless of the country's fil-
| ture, to elect who and what he pleases to Of
| fee, and when elected, Of defaming the crea-
tons of his own will, is fast undermining the
little remnant of the tottering fabric of our 60
| vernment; and if we would reclaim from the
smeuldering ashes of once happy Union, a
nationality to be respected abroad and cherish
ed at home, we must take speedy action ere
our opponents, in their frenzied stupidity, or
in fendish malice, make such progress as to
preclude all hope Of arresting their efforts, not
only to pull down the pillars of the Temple
about our heads, but bury us also in the
| ruins.

d From Washington.

FROM warrington
Washington, Jan. lin the Senate to-
day, Mr.. johnson, of Maryland, made speech
on the resolution offered to the House yester-
day, providing for the appointment of Pro-
visional Governors for the Southern States,
and argued that Congress had no right to
make war upon the Southern States it could
suppress instruction, but it had not the power
to hold the Southern States as conquered ter
ritory.
The memorial presented to the Senate on
Tuesday from the New York Journal of Com
merre, asking the passage Of bill exempting
Justices in National courts the Southern
States from the operation of State statutes of
limitation, for period long enough to give
loyal creditors an opportunity to enforce their
demands, sets forth that the liabilities of
Southern debtors at the outbreak of the war,
amounted to one hundred and fifty millions,
only small portion of which has been liqui-
dated.

In response to resolution. of the House,
communication from the Secretary of War was
received, stating that commissioners were APP
painted in Maryland and Delaware to make
awards for slaves mustered into the army but
that tie appointment was suspended by order;
but as to the other slave States, for the reason
that all of the available money in the Treasury
was required to carry on the military opera
tions.
MIR. Rogers, of New Jersey, in speech, OPP
posed the Negro Suffrage bill, contending that
this was exclusively white mans govern
nent, and SO intended by the trainers of the
Constitution He stated, in his remarks, that
the recent attempt to degrade the citizens of
this District, by comforting on the negro the
right of suffrage, was abhorrent.
Mr. Farnsworth, of Hin Dis, maintained that
it was contrary doctrine to be insisting on the
equality of man and declared be would rather

instrumentalities of peace, and by all the
thrifty methods of industry; by all the re-

issue with many leading men in his State who
hold to different policy
A powerful support to the President at a
time when he will most need it; an utterance
like this from the heart of New England must
have its effect; must make the most implaca-
ready had strife and dissension and conflict
enough. The States cannot quarrel forever
and why not now come together in a cordial
reunion, not because one portion has been con-
quered merely, but because the necessity is
plain which calls for one Government and one
country, in the interests of free government
and of the world of humanity
If we are to accept the Union as a fact, it is
surely high time for all parties to begin to
cherish love for and faith in it.
| The Union sentiment at the South was oblit-
Grated, from the belief that the affections and
sympathies of the North had been withdrawn,
and some indication of the return of that sem
| timent is necessary, before we can have such a
Union as will prove lasting and beneficial.

Hon. charles III. smith, (Bin Arp.

Among some OF the pen-and-inkings of the
public men Of Georgia, made by the pleasant
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
we find the following of the everlasting "Bil
Arp"
Speaking Of Senators, one member of the
State Senate is so well known, at least by his
nomn,e de plume North as to render it perhaps
not altogether uninteresting to give some ac-
count of him. This is c. H. Smith, of Rome
the celebrated "Bill Arp" Tall stoutely built
with black eyes, hair, and beard, slightly
bald and of rather grave expression of eoun-
tenance, the remark often made by visitors
that he is the fast man in his house one would
take for the author of that inimitable appeal
to the great Artemus Mr.. Smith is lawyer
Of fine abilities, and in social intercourse a
very entertaining gentleman, when shaking off
what an habtual reserve. Often, however
when saying least an arch curve of the lip
will betray, beyond mistake, some facetious
thought is fitting through the brain of the
great Unharmonized father of Chickahominy
and Bull Run Arp.

ask the department to suspend payment on the
same, and transmit them to their legitimate

would be the losers, the Department has de-

A MONTHLY MAGAZINE,
Devoted to the Principles of 1915 and 1881
This Magazine was started three years ago, for
the purpose of keeping fresh in the popular mind
some knowledge of those grand principles of con-
sent and self Government, which were the basis of
this Union as it was established by our fathers.
Our patrons can say with what zeal and fearless
ness we have explained and defended those sacred
principles of Liberty, in the midst of mobs and
bastiles, during the progress of the war. Though
the is over, the objects, the wrongs and fatal
precedents it was designed to establish are not re-
inqushed by propagandists of .despotism who
borught it about; on the contrary, they seem de-
termined that there shall be rest to country
until their mischievous and degraded notions are
permanently fastened upon the ruined foundations
of this Republic. So TIE OLD GUARD will remain
at its post, still battling for the grand doctrines
of State Sovereignty and Constitutional Liberty.

The interest of these Periodicals to American
readers is rather increased than diminished by
the articles they contain on our late Civil War;
and though sometimes tinged with prejudice,
they may still, considering their great ability and
the different stand-points from which they are
written, be read and studied with advantage by
the people of this country, of every creed and
party,
