since an imported rebel, one Of the
BEN CIssELL style, took it upon him
self to make a speech in the edge of
Warrick County, not far from Millers-
burgh, in which he INDUCED in the
most abusive language about Federal
soldiers. His speech was so highly
satisfactory to certain class of the

peat, which he did attempt; but some

completely subjugated, that he indi-

confidence in the integrity and patriotism
of both, and hope they will both realize, as
we do, that the peace, harmony and pros
perity of the country is dependent upon
the preservation of the Union party, and
that they will unite their energies to that
end: so that the affairs of the Government
NAV be confided to the management OF
loyal men, the basis of national represent
alton properly and equ1tably adjusted
the protection of just legal rights secured
to a1l-the faith and credit of the nation
maintained and preserved-the rebel war
debt utterly ignored-and secession and
all its advocates and consequences con-
demned.
ResOIUed. That, in our opinion, loyal
men who took no part in the rebellion
against the Government, and did not SYM
pathize with traitors, and who have been
lion to represent them in Congress, should
be at once admitted to their seats.
Resolved, That each State has the right to
determine the qualifications OF its own
voters, and that neither Congress nor the
President can lawfully interfere with that
right. H##&
RESOLVED, Thatit is no part of the doctrine
of the Union party to force the people of
the South to elevate the negro to a social
equality with the whites; and that, in our
opinion, the people of each State have the
sole power to establish political rights in
their respective States; but there are cer-
tain natural civil rights to which all per-
sons are entitled, and it is the duty Of the
General Government to see that these
rights are protected and enforced.
Resolred, That, in view of the necessity
of providing for the payment of the pub
lie debt, 1T is our opinion that revenue
should be raised, as far as practicable, by
duties upon imports, with q view to giving
incidental protection to domestic manu-
features. and to the growth of wool and
other raw materials of the West, SO that
the burthens of the Excise law may be les
Sened.
RESOLVED That we hereby pledge our
selves to do all that lies in our power, hon
orably, to elect the State ticket nominated
by the Convention of the Union party
held at Indianapolis on the I'D of February
last.
Resolued, That we approve of the action
of the Executive in establishing civil gov
ernmentS in the States lately in rebellion,
and on the conditions Imposed; holding
that his action in that regard was expedi-
ent, wise and Constitutional.
Resolved, That the obligation OF the ma
ton to those who were in the front, and
bore the heat of the battle-to those who
suffered and languished in prison, can
never be estimated or adequately cOmpen-
stated; that they must not be left to the
mercy of those who opposed them-who
had no joy for their tIiumphs, or sorrow
for their defeats and sufferings and that
their pensions must be continued undi-
usual quantity of land, not less than one
hundred and sixty acres to each soldier, If
living, and to THEN widows and orphans, If
dead, should be granted.
ReSOtUed, That in the consolidation of the
national debt, provision should be made
by law for subjecting the same to taxation
in the hands of the holders, in the same
manner as other property, rights and cred
its are taxed.

Inc evansville JOURNAL Is not
pleased with the fact that most of the
| tobacco from the lower border coun-
ties now comes to this city for reship-
men East, instead of going to Evans
vile, as heretofore. JOURNAL, this
cannot be helped as long as the rail
road route from New Albany East is
so much shorter than the route from
| Evansville, and the tariff of freight
charges from here is so much more
advantageous to shippers. The Jour-
NAL displays most commendable
zeal in its advocacy of the interest of
Evansville, but in the matter of East
ernf transportation it cannot change
the course of trade. The good bust
ness man will always select the near
est, most direct and cheapest routes
to market; and in this particular New
| Albany has an advantage over Evans
vile so decided that all Eastern bound
freights from the Lower Ohio will
come here for reshipment instead of
being sent to Evansville.-NeaU Al
bang Ledger.
Well, we don't see it in them
lamps" The fact" that most of the
tobacco from the lower border coun-
ties go to New Albany don't exist.
By special influence of one or two
steamboat agents, some tobacco that
would have and should have come to
Evansville, has been directed to New
Albany, but these tricks seldom win a
second time. a.., .5ssr4
. Nor is it true, as the Ledger init
mates, that the tariff advantages Vio
New Albanyar are SO much greater than
by Evansville. We know that such
representations have been made, but
that did not change the fact. 1
T. We were compelled to change the
course of trade, that was becoming
too onorous here, and having a super
abundance of business talent, Evans
vile has generously loaned some Of it
to New Albany and some of the trade
that naturally came here was permit
ted to go to New Albany, and because
the trade Of that city has been increased
by Evansville enterprise, the Ledger
has innocently concluded that all the
store houses of creation are pouring
| their accumulations through that city
| Eleven hundred hogsheads of to-
bacco were shipped by r. X. bunker
son & Co., from this city on Friday by
the E. & c., 7. Fl. & r., and the
Bellefontaine Railroad; fair average
days work, with which our tobacco
shipping kings are content.
The Ledger seems to think that the
Ohio only reaches to Hawesville or
Greensboro, and has perhaps never
heard of the fertile tobacco fields of
the Green, Cumberland and Tennes-
see River regions, nor yet Of South
western Kentucky and Southern ILL
nois.
Most of our people have been to
New Albany; few from there have
visited Evansville or any other live
town, and have hence concluded that
their visual horizon bounds the uni
verse. If the Ledger will send Char
ley Cotton down here, we will show
him some of the decisions the people
of New Albany have been hugging,
and send him back a wiser and a bet
ter man-better able to enlighten the
people relative to the business and
resources of Evansville. Our ship
mentsare not the only feature of our
city that will astonish the unsophisti-,
