the necessity for such a Bureau? is it be-
cause the north is fearful of the south We
cannot believe it. The south yielded to the

if they were ever out ofit) upon the terms
proposed by the cOnquerors. According to
the resolutions of Congress, the war, on the
part of the Federal Government, was a com

of the constitution and the integrity of the
Union were maintained, and the Government
preserved Yet eleven of the States are
still out of the Union, 1--WE must consider
Kentucky out in the cold tool and why :?
can any one tell? Docs not every sensible
man hRor why? Kentucky is out for no
other reason under Heaven that zee can see,
but that she has a democratic majority of
forty-siX thousand in her mountains and val
leys. If this is not the reason why that
State is out, will some one, who has more
light on the subject than we have, be so kind
as to inform us. And if Ohio is not very
careful, aud California, and Pennsylvania
too, they will be made holocausts by Radi-
calism to its lavorite Deity. But We will
wait little while and see about that. But
the Southern States are out Of the Union
they have been knocking at the gate, but
they can't come in; why? Because the lock

the necessity of the Military Bureau? Is it
TO protect the "niggers?' No one is troub-

any where else. 1t may be that the armies
down there are to drive the South into the
| Union at the point Of the bayonet. That is
useless, for the South is ready to come in.
But the Military Bureau, through its emissil-
ries, is forcing the southern people, out of
self respect, to leave their homes, bound to
their hearts by thousand ties, and to seek
that peace and repose from social disorgall-
ization, and political agitation, winch is con
tnually kept up by the thousands of Ter
menters OF evil in their midst. They are
scattering to all quarters Of the world seek
ing for that peace which is denied them in
their own country. For it is fact patent to
every one who reads the news from that re-
gion most Ul it nom northern men, travelling
there in order to see for themselves, that the
liberties of the people are gone-that there is
no safety for life or property there-that the
