! Mas. RicKs, of the Frcedmens g Bureau, who
reached this place on Thursday night of last
week, with AZ persons, from Alexandria, spoke
in behalf of her cause, at the Congregational
church, to full house, on Sunday afternoon
last, and took up collection of something over
$50, which by subsequent contributions was
swelled to something above 800, to help hel
in the work Nine Of the party were girls, and
the demand for domestic help was such tina,

39 men and boys have at this writing nearly all

Quoted them to Smiths Hail. where they were
fod and lodged, and on Friday morning, they
were removed to the Firemens' Hall. Victuals
were sent in by those Of our citizens friendly to
the blacks, sufficient to meet their daily wants,
until they were taken away by citizens Of our
own, or neiShboring towns. Seven of the
number struck cat for Geneva, and elsewhere
to find places for themselves. Farm work be-
ing mostly done, the demand for help was not
as good as earlier in the season. Had larger
proportion Of the company been women and
girls, they might perhaps, have beon more
readily taken. as..' Dsa a-a"

and glaring inconsistency and incongruities,
and perhaps there are hone moro palpablc than
the positions Of our political friends, the coppors
These gentlemen have been, if not openly and
undisguisedly, at least III well known sympathy
and complicity with rebels, in their efforts to de-
stroy the palladium Of our riglits-the constitu-
ton ofthe country. 1t SQUADS sihgvlary enough
to hear this class of men talking so earnestly
about the rights OF the South, and their restora
ton and guarantee under the constitution-the
very instrument against which all their efforts
have been. pointed. Can any one inform us
what these rights are under the instrument thsy
have in their TREASON 30 insulted, outraged and
denounced? These copperhead claims, seem
not Il little preposterous and impudsnt2 -.
We have seen a national convention, one OF
the avowed principles and objects Of which was
to secure such constitutional mmunities, gather
ing together its constitutional patriots from oil
quarters of the,land, and among its members
cannot be found one southern Union man,
whose patriotism and independence led him to
stand by the union and constitution during the
life struggle for their preservation and manten-

crisy and Inconsistency Yet such is the clap
trap under which .he adherents and followers of
the Philadelphia Convention movement, hope
TO succeed.
THE MASS CONVENTION, at Madison, will como
off on Tuesday, the 4th Of September The
voters OF the, several counties, composing this
Judicial distrct-those who doubt tho propriety
of sustaining Judge Chaffee, will hardly need
to be reminded, that the people, who we have
been told with such an air Of honest conceln,
were likely TO suffer in their rights and preroga-
tiyes, have themselves, somehow, taken all in
terest in this convention, and intend to let il be
seen that much of that concern on their ac-
count was not shared in by them, and, will
not probably have the effect to prevent their
attendance in full strength, and the placing in
nomination a candidate notlikely to be shaken
by this kind alarm, The people will be there,
and no doubt give tolerabe evidence of their
readiness and competency to take care of them
selves by selecting Il candidate OF their own
liking, and thus relieve their friends of any undue
uneasness that may have been narrowed on
their account 1hs friends of Mr. Booth il is
hoped, will not forget that there is tide in
the affairs Of men, THAT must be taken at the
