The United States is now governed by

crnment, could at all times shape the
laws, control tho fnfcigr and domestic
policy Of tho country, and takc.carc OF
tho constitutional liberties Of tho people
has been entirely rcpndalcd by the
Radicals. About two.ftihs Of the vo.
crs of the nation rulc aud domnecr
over the, other ,hrcc.fi(ths. The Consti.
tuition is no longer accepted by the ml.
ing Iaction as tho ultimate arbilcr OF al
questions affecting the right Of Amcri::
can citizens. a higher law has been
established. The party in power havir @
obtained the Offices, have pro claimed
their intention to hold them by any and
every means that may be necessary. Bv
craft aHd usnrpalon they have managed
to exclude. tic Southern States from all
participation in the affairs Of the Gov.

from making their voices hcasd llnronth

Of freshoniug mackorol, or other salt

right and wrong way to do it, Any
person who has seen the process Of
evaporation going on at the salt works
knows that the salt falls to the bot

your mackerel or white fish lies soak
ingj and as it lies with the skin side
down, tho salt will fall to the skin
and remain there, when, if placed
with flesh side down, the salt falls tC

about as heavy as two men would
want to carry, aud two pieces Of
plank for the jacks to stand on, to-
gather with some blocks, &C., and al
was ready. / place the beam acres,
the largest and stOutest root Of III,

low, and resting on a piece of plank
The chain is passed around the roo
and the beam. One man at each iacl
will raise almost any stump TO the
full lift Of the sorrow, which, ina ma
joriiy Of cases, is sufficient; if not
place a stud under each end Of the
beam, let down the jacks, and plac-
ing blocks under them, give the
stump another liz. Two men will pull
from thirty to afty stamps day, aud
the machine will cost from slb to

many other purposes besides pulling

no matter whether these DO mixed

New Political Movement.

The shrewd men in the johnson
party are beginning to see and re-
alize how the political tide is setting
The overwhelming Union victories
in Vermont and Maine, and the char
acter of the political demonstrations
in those States where elections are to
be held this fall, are fast shedding
new light upon the minds of the fu-
sion party. They see that they have
mistaken Northern sentiment, and
have over reached themselves in their
eagerness to restore the late rebels
to their old control of the Govern
ment. In this connection, the Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Gazette states, that Thurlow
Weed and Edwin Croswell, of New
York, have been consulting with the
President, and it is understood that
they have urged him to accept the
Constitutional Amendment, and come
out in favor of its adoption; in which
event the New York Herald and
Times will continue to support him.
Should nothing Of this kind be done,
the majority of Republican indorsers
of the Philadelphia Convention are
represented as certain to return to
their old organization. There may
be much truth in this statement.
Many Republicans, who have gone
over to the johnson party, did SO
with the hope and expectation of
forming a great national party upon
middle and conservative grounds.
These men must soon learn, if they
have not already, that in this great
contest between treason and loyalty
there is no middle groun1. They
must take q decided stand upon the
one side or the other of the great
question, whether rebels or loyal
men are to rule this Government.
When they realize this fact, many
will return to the Union party, for
loyal men cannot long feel at ease in
the society of copperh eads and trail
tors.

would interfere, stating that he
knew the affair was simply a plot by
which to secure his assassination
The mate and three or four men
Immediately went to his assistance,
and while one of them seized Nor
row and took from him two pistols
which he held menacingly, tie 9th
ers overpowered his assistants, res
cued Ferris from their clutches,
and took him back to the boat, which
immedistely put out.
Fooled IN this first attempt, Nor
row mounted a horse and galloped
along the river road to Warsaw, had
all the bells rung. called the citizens
out, losded 9 cannon aud placed it
in position. in order to bring the
boat to land. if necessary, called
around him = mob of two or three
hundred rebels, and upon the arri-
val of the boat, which had made a
couple oflandings on the way, board
ed it, in company with large party
of his fellow rufiians. and Immediate
" demanded that Ferris should be
delivered up TO them.
4 scene of terror and confusion
among passengers and crew imme-
diately ensued, as the natural result
of boarding of the boat, in the dark
ness of half-past IL o'clock at night,
by mob of wretches who seemed
capable of any outrage, even te rob-
berry and murder. Thus it happen
ed that Capt. R. NJ. Wade, fearing
tha. any resistance would imperil
both life and property, submitted to
thorough search of the boat. A
Federal army officer, Lieutenant
Sloan, en- route from Arkansas in
charge of prisoners, taking differ
ent view of the case. obtained the
assistance of four soldiers, and with
them drove the mob to the land
none of the latter caring to face
bayonets, although many of them
exhibited reviewers. But it was
finally agreed that search should be
made, and, after hunting all over the
boat, even thrusting themselves in
the ladies' state rooms, and search
ing under the beds in which they
were laying in fear and trembling.
they found Ferris concealed under
the pilot house, and still failing to
show any authority, dragged him to
the shore, Notwithstanding his expos
tulations and depands that they
should first promise him fair trial.

every American citizen has secured to
him the right to think and to express
his thoughts freely and independently
on every inch of American soil. That
free thought and free speech. now as
before the war, are not tolerated at the
South. That on the contrary, loyalty
to the Government is regarded as a
crime, Union men are subjected to in
suit and persecution for the sake of
their principles, and their lives and their
property rendered insecure.
Keep it before the people, that lead
ing men at the South are enunciating
and advocating the infamous doctrine,
that the rebel States are not bound by
any Legislation of Congress during the
late war, because they did not partici-
pate in its enactment.
Keep it before the people, that as the
sure and legitimate result of this here
sy, the whole Legislation of Congress
during the past FIVE years, becomes
null and void; the great results gained
by the war are lost, and way opened
up for the re-establishment of slavery,
the violation of our pledges to the brave
soldiers of the Union army, the as
sumption of the rebel debt and the re-
pudiation of our own, in a word ruin at
home and disgrace abroad.
Keep it before the people, that the
immediate result of the Philadelphia
convention was to raise the value of the
rebel bonds in Europe, thus demon
strating that the world looks upon that
convention.as called and held exclusive
ly in the interests of the South.
Keep it before the people, that there
is but one way to save the country from
the multiplied evils that thus threaten
it-retain the Government in the hands
of true, loyal men, and rebuke the
Vaccinations of demagogues and trail
tors by an overwhelming victory at the
coming elections.
Keep it before the people, that the
State of Maine has nobly performed her
part of the great work, and buried A.
Johnson and my policy" beneath the
weight of thirty thousand majority
and keep it before the people, that Ohio
too, true to her proud record, will "dou
bic up" on Names majority at the
coming October election, and utterly
scorn and repudiate my policy and
its founder.

EF The National Union Commit

e. The National Union Commit
tee have published an able address
to the American people on the polit-
ical issues of theday. or the second
section of the Constitutional c Amend
ment in reference to the representa-
ton, they speak as follows:
We say therefore, to South Caro-
lima, "If you persistently restrict all
power to your 100000 whites, we
must insist that these no longer bal
ance in Congress snd the choice of
President, 100000 Northern white
freemen, but only 100000.
We commend the following ex-
tract from the concluding portion of
the address to the voters of Ohio.
Fellow citizens of every State, but
especially of those soon to held cleo
tioDs! we entreat your earnest con-
slant heed to the grave questions
now at issue. If those who wanton-
lv plunged the Union into civil war
shall be allowed by you to dictate
the terms of reconstruction, you will
have heedlessly sown the bitter
seeds of future rebellions and bloody
strife. Already, you are threatened
with a recognition by the President
of sham Congress made up of the
factions which recently coaleased at
Philadelphia on platform of John
sonism-a Congress constituted by
nullifying and overriding a plain
law of the land Congress wholly
inspired from the White House, and
appealing to the sword alone for
support. So glaring an attempt at
would be even more
criminal than absurd. Happily, the
people by electing an overwhelming
majority of thoroughly loyal repre-
sentatives, are rendering its initia-
ton impossible.

Gen. Sheridan-His Views of
Southern Loyalty.

General A. L. Lee, of Kansas
one of Sheridan's cavalry officers
who was in New Orleans during the
riot, spoke few days since at Leav-
enworth. In his speech he took oc,
casion to state what he knew to be
Gen. Sheridan's views of the senti-
ments of the rebels in his Depart
ment, and of the value OF their pro-
fessions Of loyalty. He represents
Gen. Sheridan as expressing the fol-
lowing opinions in conversation with
himself:
81 fear Northern men don't un-
derstand this thing. In a word,
these rebels are willing TO come back
if they can place the rebel flag right
along side the stars and stripes
They want to preach rebellion; they
want to go back to Congressional
halls, clothed with the mantle of au-
thority; they are very willing TO come
back if Lee and Johnston shall stand
on the same plane as Grant and Sher
man; they are willing to come back
if this rebellion shall be made a thing
to be proud of, and its memory shall
fall as glorious heritage to their
children. / consider these gorgeous
funeral professions an insult to me
and to every man who ever wore the
Federal blue"
These are the words of a brave
and gallant soldier, who has demon
strated his devotion to his country
upon many bloody battle field, and
they are entitled to the more weight
from the fact, that since the close of
the war, Gen. Sheridan has lived con-
stantly in the South, has been in close
and daily contact with the late rebels
and has had every opportunity to
learn their real sentiments. He cor
roborates fully, what we have often
stated, that the late rebels are loyal
to the Government only upon con-
ditions that they may rule it. II all
test oaths are repealed, themselves
