pany for libel owing to the appearance
in that paper of paragraph questioning
his (Smith's) sanity. The other day a
retraction of the statement was made by
the Tribune, whereupon the suit for dam
ages was withdrawn by Smith. This
latter transpired during the absence Of
Horace White, one Of the Tribune edi :
torial managers; and upon learning the
fact, this gentleman writes an indignant
letter to the paper, in the course of which
occurs the following:
Whether Mr.. Gerrit Smith feigued in
sanity, whether the Tribune charged that
he feigned insanity, whether such a
charge if made would be actionable, are
questions of no public Importance

bodies the so.cslled retraction, the fol-

had no previous knowledge or intimation

Ferry, he nevertheless states that he
loved John Brown, his spirit and his
principles, and that he now warmly
cherishes his memory.
Now | am in possession of informa-
ton which enables me to affirm that Mr..
Gerrit Smith was fully advised Of John
Browns purpose to make an armed in
vasion or raid into Virginia, for a long
time prior to such invasion or raid that
the said Gerrit Smith assented to and
co-operated in such invasion or raid,
with advice, money and counsel; that
interviews took place between John
Brown and Gerrit Smith at the residence
of the latter in Peterboro, New York, in
the summer Of 1853, at which John
Brown unfolded to Gerrit Smith his plan
so far as it was then matured, informing
him particularly that Chambersburg,
Pennsylvania, had been fixed upon as
the place to which arms should
be first SENT that the plan con-
templated not merely q method OF run

Foreign-Born Citizens.

The recent dismissal from the police
force at Mobile, of several citizens who
were so unfortunate as to be born in an.
other country, and of white parents, aud
the installment in their places of loyal
buck negroes; and the turning of from
the gang of street cleaners and scayen-
gers of several other unfortunates of the
same class. many of whom were the sole
support for widowed mothers and large
families of children, is very suggestive.
II suggests Fredericksburg, for instance,

unity of their adopted country, again

We take Fredericksburg as an illustra-
tiou. but upon every field, from the Po-
tomac TO the Rio Grande, the fact was
the same. In the Federal armies no
Drawer, better, more faithful soldiers were
found than those Of foreign birth. When
the loyal natives, tired Of glory, had

first Manassas-would have been whipped

Paying the National II ebt.

1.-The Observer says the Rcpubli-
cans do not propose to pay the Ma
tional debt. A conclusive answer
to this is that they have paid more
than two hundred millions of it in
the last two years. Utica Herald.
If the above were true, it would
be little to boast of. The revenues
of the last two years have been up.
wards Of ten hundred millions. re
say that two hundred millions of this
have been applied in payment of the
debt, is to say that eight hundred
millions have been spent for other
purposes. And since one hundred
millions year was the largest ex-
penditure before the war, and is
abundant for all necessary purposes
now, it is evident that six hundred
millions have been squandercd, while
two hundred millions have been paid
on the debt. What the people want,
and will have, is that all the means
raised Tor the purpose slall DC ap-
piled to relieve their burdens 1t is
not a matter of boasting. but a mat
ter of shame, that the Radical man
ayers have squandered four dollars
in partizan schemes and in furnishing
the South, for every one dollar that
they have appropriated to pay the
debt.
1t is not really true. however, that
the public burthens have diminished
at all. The INTEREsT-BEARI debt,
that which the people feel, and which
they are obliged to sustain by taxa
tion, is larger now than ever before.
Worse than that, it is constantly
increasing, and making heavier bur-
dens necessary as time rolls on. .-

{ From the Day Book !

The Tribune says-"rf the blacks
are not enfranchiscd, Vallandigham
could beat Grant for President. "
That is fair confession. Vaflan-
digham would get moro white votes
than Grant. The negroes are. there
fore, the sole hope Of the Mengrcl
party. 1t is nice party for wlito
men to belong to.
A mongrel paper published in Me-
ridian, Conn, objects to Grant as
presidential candidate, "becausc no
smokes SO much.' Poor Grant is
goose which will be picked of every
feather before the Mongrels arc dons
with him.
The fact that the perjurer, San,
ford Conover, is in the penitentiary
and that Stanton, Holt, and Ashley,
who employed him, are still at large.
strikes the public sense of justice as
very singular.
The Mongrel party has WADED 50
far into negro suffrage, that it turns
it's bloodshot eyes in despair to y
military satrap for another GRANT
of civil power. Too late. It's For-
ney-cations are too .monstrous to bo
forgiven by the public.
