SENATOR WILSON AND HIS SruMP1xa
ExHIT1oN.-In the following the New York
Tribune tells us alive fcarefto know Of
Senator Wilson except what amount of
money he is to be paid BY the Central
Republican Convention for haranguing the
negroes Of the South in the intefess Of the
Republican party. That's what We would
like to know. Wilson is o practical
Yankee. "born to poverty" and no one
is silly enough to think that he is doing
his present hard work for nothing. How
much does he get-$5,00O, $4,000, $l5,-
000,o $4,000 i,s.a.@I .aIisg al -
The Senate having adjourned, Henry
Wilson has resumed the canvass which no
commenced at Petersburgh, the last great
citadel Of the rebellion, and will Journey
through the Southern States, speaking
once or more in each State as opportunity
may be presented General Wilson was
an earnest, ayowedr opponent of slavery
long before the Republican, party was
formed, as he has since been one Of that
party's foremost I champions. Born to
poverty, be has preserved that inheritance
unimpaired Injured from childhood to Ia
Dor and frugality, his education is that of
the common people, but is such as only
New England and the communities sprung
from her loins have hitherto proffered to
the children OF the poor. In his history,
his character and his convictions, General
Wilson fairly represents and embodies that
great party which has raised four millions
of our countrymen from brute chattlehood
and lawguarded, ignorance to the dignity
Of free manhood and therights Of American
citizenship. His. journey southwark is
designed to commend the fundamental
truths wherein the Republican party is
based TO the Understandings Of those who
have hitherto heard of them only through
the prejudiced misrepresentation Of the
party's enemies, and to the acceptance Of
oil who would have. true and lasting
concord between the Moth and the South
based on universal justice and impartial
freedom. s2' 'i7ail','tsi4i tt''iSA

American flag and carry it at the head of
their professions He also ordered that
each fireman should salute the flag by
raising his cap to it. + ,rteaf5 5 .,,qr.3
There could hardly be conceived more
studied and deliberate insult, to the .politi-
cal system and principles Of freedom which
The flag is supposed to represent than was
offered by Sickles in this act of petty
tyranny. Almost every, day in the year
iremen parade in the, streets of some one

usual for them to carry, The national flag at
at the head Of then. procession. There
was nothing to indicate That the Charleston
iremen intended any disrespsct to the flag
Or the government. i Sickles required them
70 do what was contrary to the general
custom, and the fact that he had anthori-
y to make and enforce, such an order was
| blacker disgrace to the national banner
han it could have been subjected to by
my mark Of hatred Or contempt possible
or the most vindiotiye rebel to offer. It
vas q proof that the national government

that the flag was not entitled to
aspect. Sickles chose the best method he
;ould have adopted to make it hateful to
he people of the state, and to prove
himself tonbs OF petty, narewApinded
yrant, controlled by a contemplate vanity,
which made him wish to play fantastic
ricks." Hispresent position has seeming
made him a fool, and it is j to BE-
cared that it will make him something
