blame which attaoheg e be inception Of tha

blame which attaches to the inception of the
riot
Gen, Sheridan seems conscious of this fact,
for he endeavors to excuse his previous mac
ton by saying that he chad no cause for
action until they, (the revolutionary men)
committed the overt act This might serve
him as q palliation if his conduct in. other
cases correspondent with what he claims for
himself here. If he always delayed action
awaiting for covert acts" he might seek to
justify himself on that ground, But when
Gen. Sheridan suppressed the ''relief associ-
ations" of this city, he did not await for any
''oyert acts. He assumed that they intended
to build monuments ''to commemorate the
rebellion, " when such was not their purpose,
but he did not await the laying of the corner
stones, or the carving of the marble slabs.
The only covert acts" committed by these as
sociations were the distribution of charities
to widows and orphans. But Gen Sheridan,
as stated by Gen. A. s. Lee, late of the federal
army, chose to regard their purpose as an in
suit to himself and others ''that wore blue, !"
issued his decree dissolving them, and these
charitable associations faded away with the
breath which denounced their doom.
And so it would have been with the conven-
ton. General Sheridan tells us truly they
were Revolutionary men These men had
met and acted and set the revolutionary wheel
in motion before General Sheridan went to
Texas. They wrongfully assumed to be the
supreme authority of the State. They had
performed one of the highest acts of consti-
tutional body. They had deposed their presi-
dent and they had chosen another. They had
dug the mine and they had laid the train to
destroy the legal government of one of the
United States That was as much of an
overt act " as to distribute charities to hun
cry women and children. They had laid the
foundations of a revolutionary government to
be built upon the ruins of that which exists
this was as much of an GO overt act" as to con
template the erection of monuments to COM
the virtues of fallen comrades. If
General Sheridan, because of supposed
slight to his personal dignity, chose to sup |
press relief associations who purposed moth
ing hostile to the government, we do not see
that it was not still more incumbent on him to |
suppress, by proclamation, an association of
conspirators whose design was to overthrow
the government Of the State by violence, and |
to build up on its ruins government which
was specially designed to aid revolutionary
faction in its war upon the President and the
Constitution of the United States.
We cannot but regard General sheridan's
defense of his conduct in reference to the
as exceedingly feeble. His own
statements, when analysed, show that he is
chiefly to blame for the instruction which
occurred. When this is apparent, it is scarcely
in him to fling around on the
community generally such indiscriminate
censure as he employs in some of his other
We may possibly review
these in some subsequent issue.

Our respected contemporary, the Bee, in
entering uponathe fortieth year Of its exis-
tence on Saturday last, took occasion to make
appropriate allusion to that circumstance, and
to express some very sensible reflections upon
Ehe proper conduct Of public Journal The
Bee was at first published exclusively in
French, and only three times week-but it
met with such favor that it was soon changed
to a daily. the form enlarged, and one-half Of
the paper printed in English 1T has thus
been published since soon after its origin
and, under different editors and various cir
cunstances, has been marked by dignity,
courtesy, fairness and ability in discussion,
and intelligent comprehension Of, and deyo-
ton to. the interests of the people, that have
brought the reward it now enjoys in the favor
and respect Of the public It is now the old
aest paper in New Orleans, and perhaps the
oldest in Louisiana An interesting oircum-
stance connected with the Bee is the continu-
GUS association with it of Mr., Francis Delaup
who, assisting at the birth of the paper, has
been always, and still is, the foreman Of the
printing department, For ourselves, we trust
cur contemp orary may enjoy thrice forty years
more of uninterrupted prosperity.

A SOLEMN APPEAL.

The Convention of Southern Union
lists, in session at Philadelphia last
week, adopted an address and series OF
resolutions, which are printed here
with, and to which we ask the attention
of every patriotic, humane, and Chris
tian man and woman in our County.
The men composing this Convention
were loyalists tried in the fire during
the recent bloody Rebellion; and never
for one moment, although beset and
environed with the most deadly perils,
did they falter in their attachment to
the flag of their country. Almost
every man of them was marked by the
Rebel authorities, when the Rebellion
was at its zenith, and hunted with
bloodhound ferocity. Some of them,
determining with Spartan valor that
they would net fee from their homes,
were arrested and thrown into prison,
and would have been hung but for fear
their mmolation would raise such
whirlwind Of indignation in the North
as would crush out the Rebellion at
one blow. t.
These men went up to Philadelphia
last week, 20 "petition for q redress of
grievances" Many Of them have
travelled thousand miles and more
Some dare not let their names appear
in the proceedings, for fear Of assassi7
nation when they return to their homes.
These men have issued an address.
Betrayed by Andrew Johnson, they
appeal to the Tribune of the People.
They solemnly declare that their "Last
hope, under God, is in tho unity and
Jfrmness Of Tie States that elected Abra,
ham Lineoln and defeated Jefferson
Davis, Further on they repeat the
solemn declaration: "CW last and
only hope Is IN The unity and fqrtitude Of
he loyal people Of america in the sup
port and pindication ofthe Thirty Ninth
Congress, and the election Of a controN-
ing Union majority in hs succeeding, or
Forfeit Congress,
These are solemn words, and should
have great weight with the People of
the North, Every ballot cast in the
Loyal States in the interest OF Andrew
Johnson and the Copperhead party, is
license to the Rebels to go on in their
work of butchery.
Voters of Belmont County I! rcmcm.

SHOWING THE CLOvES rooT.

great many people in this country,
whose hearts were stricken by the
dreadful calamity, were shocked at the
cold and heartless conduct and words
of Andrew johnson, when standing
above the murdered and mangled body
of President Lincoln. The following
extract from his recent speech at Nj
agara Falls will probably throw little
light on his course on that eventful
day: 90

"By the Constitution Of the country /
hare been made President 1 am glad of
IT," What does he mean, if he does not
rejoice at the assassination of the great
and good Lincoln ....
In his speech at Cleveland, printed
in this issue, he said:

that ticket with distinguished citizen. now
