There were seven Union men Of Louis

lines and enlisted in the Sth Vermont
regiment as Federal soldiers, after which
they were captured in battle by Dick Tay-
lor's command. tried by his court martial,
and sentenced to be shot to death. Dick
Taylor having the execution of the SEN
tence, ordered them first to dig their own
graves, one sufficient to contain four men
the other to contain three. In these
TWO holes they stood up aud were shot by
Dick Taylor's rebels. In regard to the

eign military Intervention and whereas,
the United States, in accordance with
their settled habits and policy, are neu
tral power in regard to the war which
thus afflicts the Republic of Mexico; and
rhereGs, it has become known that one of
the belligerents in said war, namely the
Prince Maximilian, who asserts himself
to be the Emperor of Mexico, has issued
decree in regard to the lort of Mata-
moras and other Mexican ports, which are
in the occupation or possession Of another
OF the said beiiigerents, namely, the United

following words: "The ports of Matamo-
ras, and all those ia the northern frontier
which have Withdrawn from their obedi.
ence to his government, are closed to for
eign and coasting traffic, during such
time as the laws of the Empire shall NO.
be threin reinstated.
article 2. Merchandise proceeding
from the said ports, On arriving at any
other where the excise Of the empire is
collected, shall pay the duties on importa-
ton, Introduction and consumption, and
OF satisfactory proof of contravertion shall
be immediately confiscated.
Our Minister Of the Treasury is charg-
ed with the punctual execution CT this
decree. Given at Mexico the 9th Of July,
1866"
And ,ehereas, The decree thus recited.

Of the United States as defined by the law
Of nations, as well as the treaties existing

Now, therefore, |, Andrew johnson

PHILADELPHIA, Aug l6, 1866
The Union State Central Committee of
Pennsylvania send greeting to their brave
Union brothers of the South, and extend
to them hearty welcome, on the occasion
Of their meeting in this city, ou Monday,
the Sd of September next.
History furnishes no parallel to the pa
triYtism, courage and fidelity Of those men
who, from the beginning Of the rebellion
to the end, fought the good fight, and
kept the faith.
The question to be decided is whether
loyalty is to be prescribed and punished
in the persons OF patriots like these, or
treason rewarded aud honored in the per-
sons of the guilty authors add agents Of
the rebellion. Shall the loyal masses or
the blfiled aud defeated traitors govern
the country? In these great issues all
are yifally concerned, and our Southern
compatriots have instnctively turned to-
ward the spot whence the Great Charter
OF American Liberty was first proclaimed
and propose, within the sacred shadows of
Independence Hall, TO renew their VOWS
of fidelity to the principles of that i'm
mortal creed, aud to take counsel with
their Union friends.
On behalf Of the loyal men Of the Com
monwealth OF Pennsylvania, this Commit
tee hereby gratefully extend cordial vel
come to these patriots and friends from
the Southern States. All who come will
be received with open arms and warm
hearts.
The Union men of the entire Common
wealth are cordially and earnestly invited
to come here and honor the occasion with
their presence, ard to enable all to confer
together upon the present and future OF
our imperilled country.
1t is also suggested and recommended
that our friends from other States send
delegations here on this important occa.
sion, not to sit in convention, but to cheer
and cooperate with these tried champions
Of liberty from the South.

those around us, but to convey to others,
in many instances, all intirely false i'm
preston of our sentiments. We often
live in an atmosphere Of deception 10
thick that we are not only hid from our
peighbors but hid from ourselves, also:
so that, from constantly striving to per
suade Others that We think and feel differ
.ntly from what We do think and feel.
we sometimes succeed in convincing our
selves that We are what we endeavor to
seem to be. We constantly receive with
courtesy those we dislike. and utter
words Of cordial greeting which do not
spring from true respect Possibly 1t
may be right to do so; but so tar as our
words and acts are intended to give onr
neiphbors Oh entirely wrong impression
of our feelings towards them, softr those
words and acts cannot be brought INTO
accord with the rule Of absolute truthful
ness.
We sometimes meet with people who
pride themselves on being frauk aud
speaking the truth, but these forget that
generally they succeed in being offensive
also. Society generally ostracises this
class of persons. Some OF our phlioso,
pliers. with these facts before them, hold
ont to us standard of truthfulness to be
aimed at, though incapable of realization,
yet AZ duty possible in attainment and
obligatory in practice. When they come
test their proposition. they betray the
weakness Of their position.
There seems to be no escape from tire
conclusion that in the present moral con-
dition If our race, perfect truthtulness
is scarcely attain"ble.

Do we Tell the Truth?


The Nation gives an interesting and
suggestive article on the above subject
If it were shorter, we would be glad to
insert it in full. We purpose TO give part
" the gist of the article, with thought
or two of our own.
It is O remarkable fact that Moses, in
his great moral code-neyer made any
prohibition of lying; nor did he OF slave
~ aud poiygemy. He was too wise t"
attempt any impossibiHties A sweeping
deuunci,tion of these would have been
simply useless. 1t would have been too
far in advance of the moral senGpent of
the people to be obeyed, and would not
have been looked upon i'll the light OF u
posi- i've obligation.
There are many forms ofcheating tole-
rated among Us, unprohibited by tatute,
simply because the moral sentiment OF
man is not yet highly cultivated enough
to treat that as illegal which is generally
regarded as dishonon,ble. Yet the latter
feeling is a proof of tn It steady growth
ofthe moral sentiment Of mankind which
has been going on since the creation. 1t
is difficult to sly how mnch onr view Of
the morality or immortality of actions Is
due to education or nature. 1t is known
that in the North sJme MN regarded
slavery us the sum Of al vi!lanies, while IN
tha South it was regarded as Bible IN
s.itutiou. So with polygainy. Abraham
was a polyganlist. and 80 was jacob, the
father of the twelve tribes Circnns:nn-
ces alter cases, and our better education
md advancing civilization changes many
things. Right and wrong may be always
the same, but our, ideas in regard 70 them
change constantly.
Fonr thousand years have passed since
the time of Moses. He made no prohib-
i,ion against lying. Is the world yet pIe-
pared for such prohibition? We doabt
it If man, or woman either, was ab-
soluteiv truthful. each would be consider
ed moral mons'rosity, a nuisa, ce to be
al,ated swiftly. Few appreciate how much
we owe to f.lsehood Without the lubri.
Grating oil deception, the social wheel
would end in eouhagration.
Is this true? What is the idea of a
f,lsehood? 1t is the effort to produce a
false impression on the mind OF another
This impression may be made by an uu-
true statement. by eeuivocstion, by eva
sion, by ambiguous words. And this is
falseiond. Will morality accept any
lover standard? II not, then who are
pniltlrss of falls hood?
The ordinary rnles Of politeness require
rs not only to hide our sentiments from

If the majority Of the late slave OWL

habits of idleness, eschew tournaments

An OutSpOken Rebel.

There is little doubt that the conclliatory
policy of the President toward the conqered
enemies of the Union meets with contempt on
the part Of the recipients of his unexpected
bounty; however much their interests lead
them to applaud it. Occasionally an out
spoken rebel has the frankness to free his
mind on the subject. Henry A. Wise Is one
of these In a speech the other day at a
banquet in honor of StoDewall Jackson, ha
said "If had triumphed, should have ia
vored stripping them naked Pardon p? They
might have appealed for pardon, but would
have seen them damned before | would have
granted it," That these are the sentiments
of every honest and thinking rebel in the
South, there can be no doubt. The leniency
Of johnson is unexpected, unappreciated
and IN failing to take advantage of the re-
wards of victory, is an evidence of imbecility
as inexcusable as it is ruinous. "lf are hat
triumphed, we would have favored stripping
them naked They might have appealed fol
pardoned, but we would have seen then
damned first" These are the honest sentiments
of Johnson'S pardoned rebels.
