Scan government" asks the New York
Tribune, (which, after long and arduous
struggle, has put down an organized and formid-
able rebellion, proceed to try and punish its
defeated adversaries as traitors?'
The Tribune answers its question bydeclaring
that the doctrine generally held by American
statesmen and pnhlicists prior to 1860 will be
found succinctly set forth by Daniel Webster ip
bis address on laying the cornerstone Of Bunker
Hill Monument, June II, 1925, wherein he says
of the consequence of that combat:
sThe battle of Bunker Hill was attended with
the most important efects beyond its immediate
result as military engagement 1t created at
once state of open, public war. There could
now be no longer question proceeding against
individuals as guilty Of treason or rebellion.
That fearful crisis was past. The appeal now
lay to the sword; and the only question was
whether the spirit and the resources OF the
people would hold out until the object should
be accomplished.
"Bear in mind" proceeds the Tribune, that
our fathers had not even declared their indie
pendenee on the 18th June, ITS, when they
fought at Bunker Hll-nay, they had definitely
resolved on separation from the mother country.
In the eye Of British law-and OF the law OF
nations, for that matter-they were simply
rebels, resisting the authority and the army of
their legitimate king. Yet Mr.. Webster holds
that the naked fact that they resisted in battle
array, under the command Of their constituted
LEGAL authorities, precluded any civil proceedings
against them as individuals guilty OF treason or
rebellion"

The address of the Radical Congressional
Committee, says the Alexandria Gazette is
another caution as to declarations of certainty
touching the 'fnality" of the RECONSTRUCTED"
laws. No one knows, what the ''fnality" may
be, or when it will come There is a shrewd
suspicion that the establishment of an iron
bound New England tariff, and the election of
the next President, must be settled first. Ac-
cording to this Committee. the South will be
additionally required by the party to give
decided and trustworthy majorities, in future
elections, before the advent of that day. This
means, we suppose, that the voters are to come
up, always, and elect Radicals or those who
will support Radical measures, or who will po-
htically affiliate with Radicals. Now, this is
stretch beyond the la1. 1t is not nominated
in the bond.'' 1t is not what the Reconstruc-
ton acts say. But, then, ''the party, through
its organ, the Committee, say it-and the South
is to take notice thereof, and, govern itself ac-
cordingly

The Richmond Enquirer says that it is very
unmanly to vent billingsgate upon us under the
name Of free speech, when free speech is not
allowed to us in return Northern orators come
among us to make harangues, and so far from
rendering free discussion of the merits of their
propositions, they intimidate us by brutal
threats of confscatons and seventies, if we fail
to see as they do. 1t is the logic of the faggot
and the stake. The arguments of the portion
of the press we refer to, are of similar charac-
ter. We must ALL however, see and hear as
little of these things as we can, and mind them
as little as we may, and wait until we can COM
bat on more equal terms, before we hold as
sailants to full account

Having Observed in the "Hagerstown MAIL" as
well as other newspapers, that Messrs. CLOT-
WORTHY & CO., of Baltimore a Wholesale
Drug House, have published Card to agents
of Stonebraker's Medicines deem it due to
the Agents Of these popular Medicines to publish
another. The card of 'CLOTWORTHY s. CO.,
is ingenious affair, and is calculated to be mis-
chievous. They state that l am not authorized
to receipt for any money due Stonebraker, Hof-
man Il Co.. leaving the inference that I am doing
SO, which is not the fact They also state that
sold Agencies will be supplied by wagon as here
tofore," and that applications for Agencies will
receive prompt attention" This wording is very
ingenious and gives out the impression that Clot-
worthy & Co. are manufacturing my medicines.
This they have right to do-they can sell off
the stock that Stonebraker, Hoffman & Co. had
ON hand at the time Of the dissolution, but they
have no right to manufacture, neither have they
the genuine receipts to do So Any attempt to
manufacture is violation of the U. S. Patent
Laws and is spurious Agents are cautioned in
reference to this ingenious card, and advised to
send their orders to me at 81 Camden street, Bait
imore, where I manufacturing the genuine ar
ticles, and where will be prepared to supply all

The Situation.

The Union Congressional Committee, says
the Norfolk Nrginiau, has published an ad-
dress to the people of the South. This docu-
ment is just such paper as the fellows who
beset the traveller going down to Jericho might
have drawn up by way of convincing the public
of that day of the benevolence of their temper
and the purity of their motives. The wounds
Of the country will not be healed until some po-
itical Samaritan comes along with sense enough
to distinguish between vitriol and olive oil, or
wine and aqua forts. How long it will be

voutly to be prayed for, passes all understand

that reconstruction is working too successfully

Another Letter from Fl Perry

On the first page we have the pleasure of
publishing another letter from Ex-Gov. B. f.
Perry, ofSouth Carolina. We rank him among
the modest Romans he speaks sensibly,
boldly, periodically, plainly, pointedly. Of
course, none will fail to read and ponder his let
ter. He speaks with the wisdom of States
man, and the voice of a prophet. He clearly
sees the shadows which precede the ominous
approach of coming events. The great need of
the South at this time is moral courage. Too
many reason and are willing to act like Judas,
when he thought more of the thirty pieces of
silver than of his Saviour to whom his faith
had been plighted.

The Lynchburg Neaos says that the desperate
expedients to which the Radicals unhesitating-
ly resort to postpone the rapidly approaching
day Of retribution, afford cheering augury OF
the speedy disintegration of that party. There
is a manifest inclination on the part of the more
discreet and business portion of the Northern
people to put a stop to the political agitations
which so harass and distract the country, and
which are telling with fearful import on the
financial and business circles. Revenue re-
ceipts daily falling off, production diminishing,
industry paralyzed, population starving, farms
and plantations growing up in jungle, mobs
and violence-all these are the fruits of Radi-
cal supremacy, and the substantial business
men of the North will soon perceive that the
only means left of averting the threatened ca
tastrophe, is to depose from power, party
which has evinced so little capacity, statesman
ship and patriotism.
