thirty three to fifteen Three votes more
than the requisite two-thirds, and without

with the sovereign will Of the people, and
their 'policy" shall be for the common in
terests of the country at large.
| We trust that those in authority will take
lesson from the events of the past week, as
they have been developed by the public
press and sounded in their ears by the great
union masses everywhere throughout the

GARRET DAVIS OF Kentucky, said in the
Senate on Friday, that if the Civil Rights
Bill should be passed by that body, over the
veto, he would consider himself an enemy
of the Government, and would feel bound
TO work for its overthrow. This is no news
to the loyal millions of the country. He
hns been working for the overthrow OF the
Government for several years past, and what
adds to the meanness of the matter is that
he charges and receives from the Govern.
ment he is attempting to destroy, three thou
sand dollars per annum. Davis in the Senate
is an infinitely more unprincipled man than
Davis in Fortress Monroe.

"The South and the Government are in
the same boat one more time, thank the
gods; now blow ye winds, and crack your
cheeks If Black Republicanism wishes to
find out whether the South is loyal, there is
now beautiful opportunity for finding it
out. If they wish to prove their false as
sertion, let them now attempt any seditious
move, and they will find every blast from
Johnson's 'bugle-horn worth a thousand
mem; and before the notes shall die away in
the valley of the South, soldier from the
South will wave the old banner OF the stars

them to do So We will see then how they
