Col. Calkins. 49,
The name of this soldier and patriot is "a.
miliar to the northwest. He made Us IN able
union speech At McGrcgor year or two ago.
lie is editor Of tho Madison {Wis) Capitol, a
journal established to support the government
and assist to restore the union of the states
Tie Col, like other men, forgot. occasionally,
that cpithets are not arguments; has INDUCED
in such terms as "coppcrhcads, "nortliern
sympathizers,' ETC.; blu. recently he has dis
covered that, notwithstanding his service for
years in tbs field, his defense Of the Gag on
the stump anl with the p:n, he ia now bronsh!
down to the leye: of 'copperheadisE" simply
because he docs not SO step further than Lin
coin
in an article headed, Construction or OBJ
s.ruction," the capitol speaks as follows. As
this is a better leader than We can write, We
adopt aud lead it.:
1--WE published yesterday tho resolution cen
string the veto Of President johnson of the
freedmcn's Bureau Bill. This is but an iuci.
dent Of the great contest. The resolutions re.
based upon the idea Of one party as opposed
to the other. The diricing line between these
parties is clear and we'll defined, no matter
how many words are piled up to conceal ideas.
II Is the construction or obstruction to re-
stored union. The President would declare
tho var At an end, ard the union restored, |
congress insists that war still exists, ard that
the south shall not be representative the un-
ion restored FOR an indefinite period. The
President insists that the Eve conditions Of
Mr.. Lincoln. viz: LIST, Thatthc rebellious states
shall abolish slavery by their constitutions;
ds.That they shall annul and repudiate the or
finances and acts of secession; 81, That they
shall adopt the slavery amendment to the con.
stita:ion of the United States: 4th, That they
shall repudiate The rebel war debt; 5th, That
they shall pass acts 10 protect the negroes in
al: their civil rights, have substantially been
complied with, and that no good reason exists
for keeping them longer '.ut Of the union.-I
Congress on the other hand takes ground for
sixth condition--ncgro suffrage throughout the
south; and by its leaders proslaims that it fears
the loss Of political power If the union is re-

that 1t dare not trus: the northern people for
fear they may agree with the south upon mat.
scrs Of revenue and finance. Power and plum.
der are the svswed reasons Cor keeping dis.
rupted country. It would force negro suffrage
to keep power, and keep out the south to re.
lin the tariff swindlc, exemptions from taxa.
ton, and oil similar legislation ssainst the
equal rights and interests Of the people. 1t
plants itself on the side of disruption, and
boldly obsrucis peace and its blessings. II
would support vast armies md pour out treas.

idlcness, rather than have q restored country
and the honest efforts for. rcace and unity
ARE deriied and insulted. The time has come
for men to take sides. Restoration or Oh.
atrscsion snow to he the rallying cry Of par.
ties. Those who are for the union will 20 for
the. President and his plan-those against the
union will go with the majority Of congress -
Patriotism has new calls upon it and may have
to make new sacrifces-but the end, a restor
