The "VIcToRY" IN CoNNrcTIcUr.-

The "V1cToRY" IN CokNEcTIoUr.-
We have no great respect for the Senator
from Kansas, familiarly known as Jim
Lane" But the Radicals dare not ques-
ton bis authority, and to them we CON-
mend this view of the Connecticut election
taken from the Congressional Globe.
Mr.. Lane, of Kansas-But it is said the
President interfered with the Connecticut
election. Let me say to. the Republicans
just one word on the subject of that cleo
tion. One more victory like that, and l
should think the Republican party would
be unhorsed. 1t is but the first scratch of
the handwriting on the wall. Ifyou per-
NIT the Democratic party to take and oc-
cupy the platform of restoring these States
to the Union, admitting these Senators and
Representatives TO their places in Congress,
l venture the assertion as politician, that
the House of Representatives will stand at
the next Congress on the other side as
much as it stands on our side this session.
The people of this country will have those
States restored they will have those 10y
al members in their places in Congress
and if they cannot do it through the Re
publican party, fthcy cannot do it through
the Union party, they will do it even thro'
the Democratic party. .-@ .. .--.

" Coppernead Demonstration.'

Such 10 the language with which the IA
natics are pleased to characterize the very
natural outgush of jubilant feeling among
conservative men at the noble stand which
the President has taken. "Copperhead,"
forsooth 1t has no terrors now. The
changes have been rung upon it until it
now only defles the lips which utter it,
and the types which print it. The fact Is,
President johnson has said to the waves
of fanaticism, THUS FAR AND NO FARTHER.
The nation longs for peace, for quiet. Its
prayer is for rest, that it may 60 about its
ordinary business in calm, unimpassion-
ed manner. The President is determined
that this needed repose from political agi-
tation and civil wal shall be enjoyed by
the nation, of which he Is the head. JG A
conservative reaction under the guidance
of President johnson, thank God, has set
in, and it will be operative until wise and
unimpassioned craftsmanship once more
controls the Gestinies of the country, as it
did in better days, when we had statesmen
in the seats now occupied by the one idea
apostles OF agitation and sectionalism, such
as Wilson, Wade, Sumner. What would
these fanatics have more? Has not the
country shed its blood like water to carry
out their fanatical ideas? Is not our soil
literally cadaverous and fostering with the
mangled forms of the noblest of our youths
untimely slain? The country cannot stand
the wear and tear of fanatical rule any lon
ger, and President johnson is determined
that CONVEX satism shall be once more in
the ascendant. The historical reader will
remember how irksome the hypocrisy, sour
faces and cant of Cromwellian Puritanism
at length became to England, and how the
return of Charles the Second to the throne
of his ancestors was hailed by universal
outburst of delight. The old festivals.
games and hightides of merr, England,
which had been so lorg under the ban of
the snufiing and crop-eared-praise. God.
bare-bones crew, were celebrated once more
with unwonted glee. The Maypole was
seen again on the village green ; laughter
and fun and jollity were once more lawful
aud not an offence against God. We, here
in America, have been under the rule of
the SAINTS long enough. 1t has been a
yoke grevious to be borne Tears and
blood have run in rivers let the fanatics
be content, and confess that the nation has
done its best to give effect to their doctrine.
They are indications already that they DARE
not attempt to thwart the President in his
healing and cohciliatory policy. They
rave and tear their hair, and curse the
head of the Government, but the lapse of
very short time will quiet their madness,
for the President will be sustained by the
people.-Banner of Liberty.

WelI.Timed Remarks.

In reply to a scurrilous attack upon Sen
ator Dowan, the Philadelphia Daily News,
Republican print, says:
d" He was Union man when the Re-
publicans all claimed to be Union men. =
He is so still and if they have departed
from the position they pretended to occu-
py, and have become disunionists is he to
be censured for not going with them? The
Tribune may say the same, if it pleases, of
President Johnson. TIE gap 5etween that
gentleman and the Republican majority

umns of his newspaper the right of seces-

CO." a-..,.s - ..'.,, .,.....
We are glad to find that a republican
paper of such ability and relative strength
has the manliness to speak out against his
late party associates, telling them that if
they have become g disunionists" it is no
argument to influence him to take the
anne course. :5.. s-n III. r..

takes this numerous view ofthe condition
Of the South
1t seems to us TO be as hard to get in
the Union as it is to get out. The South
respectfully asks to move one way or the
other. We are like the fellow that was
forced to 90 to the show, and then not al
lowed to 60 any further than where he
paid for his ticket. We have been drag
ged into the door way of the Federal tent,
and are not allowed to see any of the per-
formance except to settle with tax collect
ors. We can hear the animals growing
inside, and the cracking of the ring mas
ter's whip, but we can't see the show unless
we pay for two, and take in colored lady.
And the worst Of it is, they keep great
eagle perched over the entrance, which, if
yo1 attempt to 90 back, sweeps down upon
you and picks hole in your head. We
Justly think this is unreasonable, they
ought either to let us pass in, or refused
our money and tie up the eagle.

denly departed from the ueighborhood -
He made no attempt to see me, nor sent
me any farewell. When | was once more
abroad, and beginning, though with much
unalloyed bitterness, to learn the lesson of
patience and resignation that awaited me,
l received a letter from him, in which he
merely said that he presumed my own
judgment had taught me, that in my alter
ed circumstances our engagement must
come to an end but to satisfy his own
sense of honor This honor he wrote to
say that, while entertaining the higher
respect for me, he desired formal renun-
citation of the claim. Writing on the bot
tom of the letter, "let it be as you wish,
| returned it to him at once and ended my
brief dream of romance.
/ heard ere this of Elliot's cowardly con-
duct on that day, but now first bethought
me to inquire who had rescued me from
that imminent death. And then | learned
that James Frazer, his arm already broken
by the jerk with which Brown Bess tore
away from him as he caught at her bride,
had ridden after me and been the first to
lift me from the water. Many times daily
he made inquiries concerning me ; his was
the hand that sent the rare flowers that
had decked my room; his were the lips
that breathed words Of comfort and hope
to my poor mother; his were the books
that read during the days of GONZALES
ccnce and his. now, the arm that sup
ported me as slowly and painfully 1 paced
the garden walks.
I have been his wife for many a year.
| have forgotten that he is not handsome
--or rather he is beautiful to me,
because 1 see his grand and loving spirit
shining through his plain features, and AMI
mating his awkward figure. l have long
since laid aside as untenable, my theory
that beautiful spirits dwell only in lovely
bodies. 1t may be a providential compen-
sation that, in denying physical perfection,
the soul is not dwarfed or marred by pet
ty vanity OF love of the worlds praise.

draws the following picture of Old Thad
Stevens: "The leading picture in this
rump Congress is that bad old man, Mr..
Tnaddeus Stevens. This moral, social
and political leper, whomit is disgrace
to a PENNSYLVANIA county not to have in
dicted as a public nuisance-as would
have happened had he been poor man; |;
having emigrated from New England, and
by cunning and as>iduous dexterity climb
ed into wealth, exhibits now, in the pres
ent degraded rump Congress, the same ell
ements of character in shaping the action
of that body. This vile person, as every
honest man knows he is, if he has the mis-
fortune of knowing him in any relation of
life, seems to rule the unhappy rump Con-
gress as he wills. 1t is one of the
threatened and most severe punishments
that Just God inficts on a dissolute aud
impious people, to put them under the
heels of the basest, vilest, most groveling,
and every way contemplate wretches that

be required to care for their children
in matter like this, where they are
led away by an excitement of whose
true character and tendency they
have little or no conception. But be-
sides this, there is call for the ac-
ton of all sober persons who care for
the general interest of morals. The
great difficulty is, that in things of
this kind one can scarcely speak out
plainly what he means without offend
ing delicacy. But elderly persons
who have an acknowledged position
in society, could do much by setting
their faces against these dances with
out assigning any reasons save those
which are conveyed in general terms.

; a4g Questionable Dances.

A letter writer from Baltimore, says
that recently the Roman Archbishop
of that city preached against abomi-
nations of fashionable life, and espe-
.cially !. the German" threatening to
deny dissolution and the sacraments
to all who indulge in it. 1t was un-
derstood that the Protestant Episcor
pal prelate of the same city would
make similar OrORuncidntie5eto. This
is not to be wondered at. The evil is
a very great one, and disgust with 1t
is not confined to the clergy or to
strict religious folks Many who have
no scruple in regard to ordinary
square dances, yet feel that this round
dance is nothing else than abominable.
The writer referred to says: i al
ways wondered that fathers and
mothers. but more especially brothers,
would stand quietly by, when they
knewwho and what some men were
in whose embrace their sister was, and
knew. too, what young men said both
before and after / wonder, too, that
friends can see young girls expose
themselves as they do in their waltz

out what everybody is thinking, anc
save our really modest girls from eyes
and tongues only too ready with com
