BOILED DOWN.

A correspondent of the n. Y. Uorfd
tries the boiling down" process with
Senator Summers recent speech with
the following result:
Compare the text with the following
condensation, and see if, stripped OF
tine t6ut there is nd nasssslsgs,sss iaa r re-
Catalogue,) and the rest, the whole
sum and substance Of the great speech
is not comprised in this:
The irrepressible negro who made
such frantic charges upon the camp
kettle, and assisted in saving the Re
public by wearing out the shoes and
clothes furnished hy Massachusetts,
manufacturers and contractors, stands
in the history of to-day MS our Savior,
while Andrew Johnson is Pontius
PLATE, and the white South is Barab-
bas. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan,
Thomas, Farragut, and all their white
followers, were ouly so many super
numeraries to the black brigade Of
shoe wearers and kettle cleaners.-
What is doubtful in the Constitut OIL
becomes clear as daylight when seen
through the amendment basket. Tile
Southern blacks are citizens Of the
United States, while the Southern
whites never were, and never ought
to be. What is not darkeyis oligarchy.
Black is white, and white black. The
white man. was made little lower
than the angels, and the angels were
made a good deal lower than the ne
groes, Taxation without representa-
ton is the injustice Of this as it was
of our fathers age, and while there is
not one negro in twenty thousand who
is any more liable to taxation than q
woodchuck is, he ought TO be repre-
scented, if not Representative, and to
have the right of suffrage, while the
Southern whites should be taxed to
the tune of ten cents Per pound on
their cotton, with no representation
in this or any future Congress, and
we will disfranchise them if we can.
The colored brother is Of infinitely
more importance than the Constitution
or the country. Thus, dressed in
Cicero's old clothes, parades the ire
pressible donkey into the presence Of
the sublime Summers speech, and
other sublime cd falln"''i .l,>.,.,l.-' q.

The Timer contains the speech Of
Alexander II. Stephens at Millsdg1
Vile on the 22d.
Mr.. Stephens said his greatest OBJ
ject was to see the restoration Of
peace and prosperity to the South
The South was in the condition of o.
man with a broken leg, and the ques-
ton was not how that limb was
broken, but how could, it best be-
healed. There should be perfect
quiet and repose, and any attempt to
walk too soon would make the matt z
worse. Bad humor and the exhibit
ton IF restlessness would do no good.
Every feeling calculated TO stir the
discords Of the pas. should DO ban
ished, and all differences of opinion
concerning past troubles forever
buried. He endorsed the Presidents
reconstruction policy, and said the
success of his efforts for the restora-
ton of the States to their former rela-
tons was the only hope for liberty
and selfgovernment He said the
South shonld accept the issues of the
war aud abide by them in good faith,
and expressed his cofdence that the
people of Georgia would do 50. He
considered the whole United Stetes as
one common country, to be cherished
as such by ALL The abolition of
slavery should be accepted as an ire
vocable fact, and we should cease to
discuss tho question whether the new
condition Of things was better for both
races thar old. Wise and humane
provisions should be made for the ne
groes, Ample aud full protection
Should be secured to them, 50 that
they may start equal before tho law in
the possessian aud enjoyment Of all
rights of personal liberty and prop
erty. All obstacles, if there be any,
should be removed which could posi-
bly, hinder or retarI the progress oil
the blacks to the extent of their ca
pacity. All proper aid should be
given to their own efforts. Channels
Of education should be opened up to
them; schools and the usual means OF
moral and intellectual training should
be encouraged among them. In con
clusion he said his only hope for the
future was the peaceful re-establish
ment of good government and it
peaceful maintenance afterwards
and the most hopeful prospect of this
age now is the restoration of the ole
Union, and with it the speedy return
Of fraternal feeling throughout it
length and breadth. These resu.tl
depend upon tho people themselves
upon the people of the North quite a
much the South upon their virtue
intelligence and patriotism.

Dixon, of Connecticut, CowAN, ol
Pennsylvania, and DoorrrLE, of Wis.
consin, "scaly and contemplate politi-

Rev Henry WARD BEEoHRR as 'sPar-

the weakness of the radical position
than the meanuess manifested by its
advocates. The party dare not as

fall; they either endorsed or ignored

MoDERS RuYMERs. In the effort to
bring the rhyme-making art up OF

modern mawkish idea of modesty
etherjalized; poe i;ers occasionally take
such liberties with the ancient prerog-
atives of the business as q decent re-
spect for either fact or fancy will
hardly warrant. We cite n sample

Ankle-deep in snow-drift is too
diminutive n figure of speech to be
tolerable even with poetic license y
it is exquisitely absurd. Josie, in evil
dent fear of getting above his business,
makes a rich burleslue for the sake
of very poor jingle, as do very many
others of the would be poets of this
excessively modest period.

An ACT OF JUSTICE. We ore graft
fed to learn that the order Diminishing
Col. John Stockton from the service as
Colonel of the sth Michigan Cavalry
has been revoked by direction of the
President. The Mt. Clemens Monitor,
speaking by the record, says: 80
''He was dismissed the service SOLE
lyupon the representation of unscru-
pulous and designing persons, envi-
Gus of his position "a Colonel Of the
sth Mich Cavalry. Those representa-
tons were not and could not be CO.
roborated by even an atom of sub
stantial proof; and had he been noti-
fed which he was not-of the
charge made against him, before the
order of his dismissal had been made,
that order had never been issuedi or
if, after it had been promulgated, he
had been granted trial, which he
earnestly requested and demanded,
but which was denied him, that order
had sooner been revoked. AS it is,
the many friends OF Col. Stockton
here and elsewhere, will rejoice to
know that justice has been done him
at last.

that on or about the first of the month, a
negro, who had been assisting in slaugh-
tering some hogs from neighboring far

carrying with him portion of the pork
he had assisted in killing during the day,
was surrounded and attacked by nume-
rous body of wolves, which, after a Sc
we're struggle, succeeded in getting the
advantage of the negro, and literally tore
him into atoms, nothing remaining of him
the next morning but bones and small
pieces of flesh, which had escaped the
notice of the carniverous beasts. The
negro had fought bravely for his life,
having, with butcher knife in his hands.
