the authors received a vote OF thanks
from the Union; and copy of the

pelier Freeman says:
Hon. L. B. Peck of this village
while at Lowell, Mass, last week,
was attacked with paralysis. He was
found in his room at the hotel uncon-
scious Friday morning; and has re-
manned in that condition most of the
time since. His physicians express
some hopes, however. that he may re-
cover partially from the attack, as his
later symptoms are rather more favor
able"

Then, and Now.

A Philadelphia republican editor of whom
we spoke last week, said in bis paper of Nov
ember Is, 1860:
'tThere 10 unfriendly feeling in the masses
of the north to the south. or her Institutions
This will be proved in the day of trial. There il
dis position that be called general, in
iuentia to interfere with the rights Of the south
or to dictate to them and the new president
CLincolnJ cannot have strong plrty in the north
without executing the laws as they now stand
and every confidence is felt that he will do so
with more energy than any president we have had
| for many years. This must be his hope of sue
cess. In this way alone he can leave a name that
will be honored by posterity. The people IN
general love the Union, they love justice as i'm
| partially applied to ALL They wish for and will
encourage every effort to have universal friend
ship and confidence, which we shall have, if we
| can be consid crate, and not unreasonably exact
| ing. All called upon now to see il we canno,
have end of strife, and a reign of justice and
brotnerf ood.''
If the republican party would but speak
nop as it did then, and act upon 1t, what a
sublime spectacle would our happily restored
Union have presented to the world before
this! Yet, the man who could write as above
was no less carried away than others ty the
torrent of fanaticism which soon after set in.
| Still, at least as late as December 18th, he
| thus wrote:
| ''The conscience of the south is as good as the
conscience of the north. All US, had loi
.en cast in a southern latitude, would have had
q southern conscience. and we should have beer
lust goo- christians as we now are, and, we
fear may be said, better ones. Slavery

because they found 1t unprohtabie. Others have

material, 1t is notorious in business circles
east that those wealthy factors. the Spragues

months, sold their cotton cloths at profit CT

make every week would be sufficient to enrich
a western man. Yet the country is to be fur

sure and certain, when the western man will
emancipate himself from such tbralldom.-
Negro suffrage is dear to the Spragues and
the high protectionists, only that 1t may be

MIR. Beecher on Work.

Henry Ward Beecher, in recent speech,
delivered the following just and spirited sem
timents
If the people of the south do not work. they
cannot eat I do not think it is we'll for
man to have many at work for him. LII 1t Is
ever brought to pass that the young mothers
of this day shall be as those OF days gone by,
who did not consider it inconsistent with
cultured lady's position to work her full share
in the household, working mornings till after
the MONDAY meal, then changing her gar
ments aud resorting to social enjoyment and
recreation, it will be more creditable to U.S.
Instead, therefore. of sympathizlBg with
those of the south who complain that their
slaves have lett them, and they are Obliged to
do their own work, | am very glad of it. |
am very glad of anything that teaches per-
sons that they are able to work. and compels
them to work if they are not inclined to do it,
| like to see a man carry his own bundles |
like to see a man trundle his own wheel bar
row; like to ses a woman tend her garden;
like to see the economy of the house carried
on by mother and daughter. as we'll as by ia
ther and son; and 1t Is a better state OF society
in which there is some work lur every mans
leisure and some leisure for every man swOrk.
| am rtjoiced to see that after all the suffer-
ing that has been undergone, there is coming
to be healthier state of things-a better
condition in society. The first thing that
southern society wants is work, and respect
for work. If you want TO make man re-
spect work, make him work. And when be
has wrought, and eaten bread that never
tastes so sweet as when he wipes the sweat
from his brow cons scious that he Is dependent
upon nobody, he respects work and workmen.

world is resting upon their shoulders,-
whether they should be saddled with an addi
tlonal tax of $500, ,OOO, 900 per annum to aug
ment the already enormous wealth of eastern
manufacturers This burden is the heaviest
one imposed upon the people; oil others are
light and trivial when compared with it. Its
effects are seen in the destruction of our prop
erty, in the high prices of everything we
buy, and the low prices of every thing we
sell.
A remedy is within the reach of the eco
pie. Let them associate themselves into free
trade leagues let the well known public sen
timent he organized, and utter a protest
against this injustice, which their represen-
tatives in.eongress will not dare disobey. -
No time should be lost, for measures are even
now on foot among the protectionists to dou'
BILE the present burdens. Not satisfied with
60 per cent, they want 100, and demand an
immunity from internal taxation. If all the
friends of free trade, and all the enemies oil
high prices concentrate their energies, this
| increased burden cannot be fastened upon
them.

declaring that along the southern coast the
freedmen were being kidnapped and sold to
Cuba and Brazil. and direetinR the judiciary
committee to inquire into the matter. Sena'
tor Davis, of KY, remarked that he had no
doubt the Yankees were endeavoring to re-
