the following news: 4

that this is entitled to special commentator.

with such fragrant injustice and oppres-

rejoice if this long oppressed people are
made the instruments of inflicting a
little righteous retribution upon this
proud and naughty power. We cannot,
however, refrain from the expression of
our fears, that the result of this struggle
will be another triumph Of the strong

the excitement in Canada, in connection
with this movement, and the military
preparations on the part Of the Govern
ment to meet it,are almost as great as in
Ireland.

IMPUDENCE.

Impotence, in its braen-faced as
suInptions, sometimes reaches a height
where it becomes supremacy ridiculous.
We have most amusing illustration of
this fact in the airs put on by certain sol
diso,a Union men and Radical officials
in this town and county. On listening
to their professions Of devoted attach
lnent to the Union, their denunciations
of rebels. and all who will not denounce
them, and their oft-repeated recitals of
pecuniary losses and personal sufferings
sustained by them from rebel rapacity
and cruelty, a stranger to their history
would regard them as patriotic saints,
martyrs for their country, deserving its
grateful remembrance to the latest gene
ration. But to those who know these
men, their professions, recitals, &c., are
SO absolutely hypocritical and false that
their impudence becomes really ludic-
rpps. Among this class are those who

beginning of the late terrible war to the
end, stood square up in resistance to the
rebellion, making no compromise with
it in any form and ready to lay down
his life if necessary to defeat it, we adj

brid class of patriots, whose devotion
and courage never revealed themselves
till the war was over and the Union
cause gloriously triumphant, and whose
gallantry never showed itself only by
kicking fallen foe, are justly objects of
contempt to every true soldier and gen.

Recent developments indicate the rap

this movement. The English Govern
ment has suspended the writ of hnbeos
corpus in Ireland, is sending there an
immense number OF troops and almost
surrounding the Island with its vessels
of war. Numerous arrests among the
people are made daily, and the entire
population are under the strictest mill

THE JOHNSON MEETING LAST THURS.
DAY

The Mass Meeting which was held at
the Courthouse in this town on the
sth inst, was largely attended and with
out dissenting voice, declared its un-
qualified approval of the veto message,
reconstruction policy, and general ad-
ministration of ANDREW JOHNSON. Hon
GEO. r. LATHAM, member of Congress
| from this District, who was expected
from Washington to address the meet
ing, was prevented by imperative Off
cial duties from being present. He ad-
dressed letter to the Chairman of the
Committee of arrangements, in which
he says: 81 am exceedingly sorry that
my duties are such, that it is impossible
for me to comply with your request
Captain TABLER will inform you of the
nature of my engagements for that day
l regret to say that he has been detain-
ed here to-day with the expectation
that might arrange my business so as
to be with you.''
Notwithstanding this disappointment,
the interest of the meeting was well
sustained, and our patriotic, fearless,
and noble President was heartily and
enthusiastically endorsed. The misera-
BILE attempt of "A crack-brained fanatic to
disturb the meeting by his frothy raw
lngs against the restoration of the late
rebel States to their constitutional
rights in the Union, resulted only in
bringing disgrace and contempt on
himself and all his cowardly abettors.-
That he had such abettors in the assem-
bly, is we'll known-but while they urg
ed forward this poor crazy-headed tool
to do their dirty work, they We're care
full, as during the late war, to keep
themselves as far as possible beyond the
reach of danger. 1t is well they did,
The day is past, when these self-styled
patriots, under their false pretences Of
zeal for the Union, can trample with
impunity upon the rights of American
citizens. They can no longer sneak be-
hind a military force for protection-for
their true character and real designs are
now understood, notonly by Unionmen
here, but BY that glorious leader of all
the true Union men of the nation, AN

AIR! AIR THE first cry of, the
newborn infant, translated from natural
into spoken language, means air ART!
It is the proof that it breathes and lives.
God, in creating Adam, breathed into
his nostrils the breath of life, and man
became living SOUL" That which was
done to the first man by the direct act
and will of the Almighty, has been con-
tinued in all after ages to his descend
ants, in what we call the natural, though
scarcely less miraculous, process of respi-
ration. In this process the newly-cre-
ated being begins at birth to receive into
its lungs the yitalizing element of the
atmosphere, the breath of life, according
to the laws established by the Creator
himself. In another form they are
part Of His revealed will, and can never
be neglected or broken without the
direct punishment of ruined health, dis
ease, and death itself. The primary
wants of the newly-born infant, the
qualification of which is indispensable
for its existence, are air aud food. Both
OF these requirements are met in a very
uncertain and capricious manner. Es-
pecially is this the case with the first
one. The cravings of the stomach for
food are, however, much more readily

air; and, in regard to the quality OF the
supply, far more attention and nicely Of
selection are exercised in procuring the
pulmonary. Few persons, nnless they
are on the point Of starvation, will eat
putrid meat, and still fewer will consent
to swallow the refuse of others. Yet
strange to say, the affluent, and the
mostrefined and sensitive, breathe, with
out effective objection, a foul and tainted
atmosphere, and inhale without mis-
givings the air which has been given
out from the lungs and skin of others in
crowded assemblages.
It must be a matter of wonderment to
every thoughtful observer that, seeing
the necessity of respiration for the
support of life, and of its unceasing con-
tinuance from birth to death, there
should be such wilful neglect of the
means required to maintain this function
in its full vigor. And yet, from the
highest in station, and attachments, to
the lowest and most ignorant, there
seems to be an utter disregard of natures
requirements in this respect. In the
bed-chamber and the nursery, in the
school-room and the factory, in the
church and the halls of legislation and
Justice, at the festive board and the sick
bed, in the hospitals, in the theatre and
concert-room-in fine, wherever people
meet for business or pleasure-in every
place constructed by the hand of man,
the visitors or occupants, as the case
may be, are either shut out from or re-
fused free admission to the air, which is
"the breath of life," at the same time
that they shut in and refuse escape for
the continually increasing and impure
and noisome air which is given out from
the lungs in the form of carbOnic acid,
moisture and volatilized animal matter,
itself a true poison when thus allowed
to accumulate. In some Of our more
modern public buildings, schools ana
workshops, IA little progress has been
made towards remedy for this evil
but great deal yet remains to be done

accomplish his success he murdered more people,
