Domestic Wrangling Foreign War.

OS444CS54S W AdLs5 4ILS Z OIS1SA w al
Many persons affect to regard with indif-
ference the complicated nature of the reIa-
tions of this Government with that of France
The popular mind, so recently freed from
the anxiety and suspense of. civil strife,
shrinks from the contemplation of a foreign
war. In truth, the evils that, in the event
Of such calamity, would be visited upon
our already OverbuTdened people, open a
most unpleasant vista Of the future The
masses have scarcely yet realized the full
extent of the deplOrable results Of the late
struggle. Hhey do not yet feel the fun
weight Of the load Of debt and taxatiOns that
they bear. The relief from the more pres
sing mistortunes and sorrows Of actual war
fareis so gratifying, that it imparts mo-
mentary strength to bear the consequences
cheerfully. But the people appreciate their
condition sufficiently to be aware that the
time is not oppOrtunc for a collision with
one of the most powerful Of European po-
tentates; and, therefore, they are not dis
posed to examine the situation critically.
Nevertheless, in despite of u very natural
tendency to dismiss an unpleasant theme
from present consideration, the popular in
telligenee cannot entirely ignore the danger,
There Is evidently much suppressed feeling
upon the subject, and the thoughts of bust
ness men especially are disturbed sif un-

derive comfort and confidence from the ten.

port of that address discovers Napoleon In

trigue and deception The willy Fronchman
Is Juggling with US on the Mexican question
1t a poor compliment to our Statesmen, to
conceive that they can be hoodwinked by
the cunning Diplomacy Of this crafty speorl-
latur in nrowns and empires. But. while
we see through the mask, let as admittha
the Imperial gamester holds q strong hand
cnd plays with a thorough knowledge Of his
game. TO get the better Of Napoleon
whether in diplomacy or war, will task the
utmost resources of this Repubbe.
Why, then, with such a labor before US
do we weaken our country by the humilia
ton and outawry of portion Of its peo
! pie (? We need the ;entration Of oal
strength to meet this foreign issue. Wha

the question was not how the limb was ljro-
ken, but how It could best be healed There
shoald be perfect quiet and repose, and any
attempt TO walk TO soon would make the
matter worse. Bad humor and an ezliibi-
tiua Of resentment would do no good. Ev-
cry feeling calculated to stir up the discord
Of tie past should be baBished, and ali diff
1erenees Of epihioa concerning past troubles
forever buRied
He indorsed- the Presidents racoustrue-
ton policy, and said the. success of the eE.
forts for the restoration Of the States totheir
former relations was the only hope of iber-
ty AMI self government he said the South
should accept the Issues Of var, and abide
by them IN good faith, and expressed conf
dence that the people Of Georgia would do
so lie considered the whole United states
defended as such by ali.
The abolition Of slayery,should be aeespt-
ed as an lrTevOcable fact, and we should
cease to discuss the question whetheF the
new condition syas better for both races than
the old Wise and humane provisions
should be made for the negroes. Ample
and fall protection be secured to them, 50
that they may stand equal before the law IN
the possession and enjoymenb af all rights
of personal liberty and property. All OBJ
staoles, if, there be aag, should be solved
which can possibly hinder or retard the
blacks to the extent Of their capacity.
An proper aid should be given to their
own efforts. Channels of education should
be opened to them, schools and the usual
mqans of moral and intelleetual training
should be encouraged among them Iflcon-
clusion he said his only hope for the future
was the peaceful restoration of the old Onion,
and with it the speedy return Of frateraal
feelings throughout its length aud breadth.
These results depend upon the people them
seives-upon the people of the North quito
as much as the people Of the South4upon
their virtue, intelligence and patriotism.

"reminiscences of the Siege Of vioks-
burg.
By AN EYE WITNESS. J. D.


M- EdftOr:-The following brief account
of a memorable event in the history of the
late war, is prepared from a crude and i'm
perfect manuscript written during the pro-
gress of the siege of vicksburg. It is Of
fered with acknowledgements of its many
defects, as a slight contribution toward the
future history of the war, which some
youthful Macauly may weave into beautiful
harmony, when the present generation shall
have passed from the scene of action. The
author makes no claim to any power of
thrilling story, or erudition, but hopes the
peculiar event of which he writes will Sc
cure such readers as have ever felt sym
pathy with the brave heroes who struggled
so manfully for Southern valor, and South
ern rights. What is here written Will only
afford faint picture of the feelings and
sentiments of the time to which it refers,
and is designed to have no influence upon
the present or future sentiments of the peo-
pie.
You viii please excuse the imperfeotions
of style or language and offer it to your
readers as extracts from the authors journal
If it proves acceptable, he viii from time
to time forward to your sanctum, till the

q ConstitutionaI Union.

The Louisville Journal, in a leader calling
upon the people to rally to the support Of
President johnson has the following
The plain principle of the Constitutional
Union Party, so plain that he who runs may
read and understand it, is the maintenance
Of the Constitutional Union as it is up0nsthe
free basis, which the events of the war haye
established That is the great platform Of
the Union Party. 1t IS wide enough and
strong enough to sustain every loyal man in
the country The principle is simple and
clear The Union must be preserved in Or
der thatHthe rights of the State and Of the
individuatnaay be preserved in order that
we may be safe and strong ut home and re-
speeted abroad The free basis. must be
maintained in its letter and spirit The
pledge must be kept, There must be no step
backward I here must be no mistake or
misgivings on tsat point, because If .tIere
should, defeat weuld be sceFtain ,inevitable.
Upon that basis, the free basis, the inaex-
ible maintenapce of t he freedom of all per-
sons IN this country, and the maintenance
of the rights of al persons in this country,
the rights of the, States and the integrity of
the Union and the Constitution, the Conssi-
tutional Union Party Of the country would
be invincIble Upon that platform, 1t could
meet and eanauish the eInbattied hosts Of
radicals, disunienists, " bloodthirsty + Ineh,
and fanatics of every hue and stripe and
creed from one end of the country to the
other. Upon this platform we can stand
firmly, unshrinkingly. From this stand
point we can appeal TO the masses; we can
address their reason, their patriotism we
can appeal to their. sense Iot justice and
right, to their interests; and thus addressed,
they viii hear with respect

A New Fashioned SHOE "A new style of
shoe is worn in New York city. The in~
vention is simple. The upper part of the
boot or shoe is cut out IN almost ordinary
fashion by a regular shoe maker. The
sole and heel are made of hard maple wood,
and are Joined by a shank of sole leather,
which gives all needed elasticity. The ups
pers- are fastened to the sole by thin band
Of iron, which encircles the rim of the sole,
and fastens sole and upper together in a
manner far more efficient than any sewing
can do When put together, the shoe makes
a handsome appearance, and is light as a
leather shoe of corresponding size. The
heels arc comfortably followed out on the
upper side and the soles have the proper
curve to insure easy walking.
