In tho death OF Mr. Thompson, we
mourn an excellent man, q courteous gen

but that he was generous to & fault

and to observe his gentleness of spirit and
his manly uprightness of character in all
the ,lations of life, and we do believe that
God has taken him to Himself.
This tribute to his memory is offered by
one who had learned to love him as bro

WHAT WE WANT.-If there is word in
the English language that means twenty
years of serviltY and cowardice, it is that
word conservative. 1t never ought to he on
the lips Of an American citizen. / hope too,
sir, that we are not to make apologies here.
The way to settle this question is to say to
the rebels, We do not want to degrade you.
We have resisted for twenty years your ag-
gressiye policy of slavery. and your barbar-
ian ideas. We bore the dishonor and dis
grace Of your policy. You plunged us into
four years of bloody civil war to perpetuate
slavery and to make the ideas Of slavery do
mInant in Christian and republican Ameri-
ca. We resisted your sggressivns before the
people. We shrunk not from civil war.
We met the contest You fought bravely-
worthy Of a better cause but you were de-
feated, crushed, annihilated, ground to pow
der. Not flag of yours waves between the
capital and the Rio Grande. Not a rebel
soldier bears a rebel bayonet anywhere.
We do not seek your lives OF your blood,
and YOU have bat little property for US to
seek If we would. All we ask is this, and
this We shall have, as sure as God rules the
world. We have the men emancipated by
war, emancipated by legislation, emaucipat-
ed by proclamation of the martyred presi-
dent, emaneipated by that grand browning
act-the constitutional amendment We
shall have these men as free as you are to
tread proudly their native hills. | want
every rebel and every rebel sympathjzer,
every repentant and unrepented rebel in the
land, to understand that the loyal men Of
this country, who voted their blood and
treasure, and who gave their sons for the
p;esel Walton of the Union and the cause of
liberty, have sworn it-they have written it
on the lids Of their Bibles, they have en-
grayed it on their door-posts-that these
