IHE GOVERNMENT OF THE MINoRTTY-In
View OF the fact that if the people of all
the States were permitted to vote. the Ja-
coblns would be in an overwhelming and
hopeless minority, their arrogant claim to
the right to rule the nation is as astound-
ing as it is shameless At the same time
tnat they assert that the majority have the
right to rule, they, backed by not more
than two-nfthS OF the voters OF the nation
force their iniquitous policy upon our sta
tnte books, and regardless alike Of dcccn-
cy and the guarantees of the Constitution.
exclude ten States from all participation in
the Government. This state of things is
entirely incompatible with the continuance
OF our republican institutions. The prece-
dents the Jacobns are now establishing {,
VIII inevitably react upon themselves. and
III time the North will be made to feel the
injustice 1t ls now intlictinS upon the
South. The majority exhibited in the

aggregate vote; while if the vote of the
>onth were added to that opposed to the
radical party that party would be con-
temptlble III its weakness. But IL series or
unfortunate circumstances have given
6hem the power to exclude the Southern
vote, and so long as that vote is excluded.
the relns OF power are secured TO them
Hence we see the desperate and rllinous
policy they advocate thrust upon III. So
long as they can continue this state of
things, they imagine that they are safe
and neither the Constitution nor laws, nor
decency, nor respect for public opinion will
restrain them i'll the slightest degree But

MINORITY GOVERNMENT. 1t is be-
yond question. that of the tax-paying,
native-born citizens of the United
States, there is to-day majority of
more than a million against the radi-
cal party. If our radical politicians
succeed in impressing on the popular
mind the idea that the majority of
the people of the United States have
a right to rule the United States
without regard to the Constitution,
they will soon find that disabilities,
created by the will of majority in
Temporary power, will be swept to
the winds. 1t is curious blunder
for sensible men to make, this doc
trine that minority may make laws
DISTINGUISHING large portion of the
people, and then claim that they rule
by virtue of being majority Such
an absurdity will not stand the test
of a moments examination, nor could
the power of a minority be sustained
against the majority on any such
grounds.

y GEL1NG AMONG THE ESoLDHRs. The
following incident related by a gene
raj officer Of the Confederate army.
while commenting upon tue aspect
Of affairs ut the North, SHOWS that
the race of great and good men is
not yet extinct even in Yankee land.
Gen. d. H. Hill, in late number of
the Land are Loue, says: 'sBut we con-
less we look for more good from the
Soldiers Convention. The men
who have had mutual hate knocked
out and mutual respects knocked in
by hard blows, are the men after all,
to cement the Union, if the delicate
operation can ever be done. We
hope that we will be pardoned for
personal incident in this connection.
We had two particular friends in the
Old United States army; the one born
North of the Susquehanna, the other
South of it. Both adhered to the
United States Government. The
Northern man took the field and
fought us obstinately; the Southern
kept out of harms way, but secured
a good paying POSITION, as teacher.
After the war, we wrote to the latter
a brief business letter, which he re-
fnsedt toanswer. The former, learning
that we had fallen into the hands of
the Blessed Bureau and other be-
nevolent institutions, sent us kind
invitation to bring the wife and little
rebs to spend the summer months
with him. 1t is easy in this case to
answer the question, which now of
these two. thinkest thou, is neighbor
unto him, which fell among thieves?'"

that the first fighting of the conflict

two States, at Harper's Ferry. In
order that the humble individual at
the White House might have some
thing to shed tears over, he suggested
three cheers for Kansas and Virginia.

Major Wilson-Yes; l move that
