The Fate Of Maxfmilian,

The following notice,printed in the form
was extensively circulated in
N. Y city on Sunday last:
AMERICANS !-Shall civilized people of
a great nation st land passive, and by their
silence assent to the most barbarous act of
tie Nineteenth century? the butchery in
cold blood by mongrel race of God-for-
saken wretches-of a man who by treach-
cry became prisoner of war? For what
else was Maximilian but a prisoner of
war?
He was certainly not a fllibuster, for
he would not consent to become their
Emperor until large and powerful dele
CATION Of the repi eseDtstives of the Mexi-
can government waited on him in Europe
and pressed his acceptance of the Mexican
crown, and which he only accepted after
much reluctance. ..r - .....
History teaches that the Mexican peo-
pie, for nearly the last half century, have
been incapable of selfgovernment, while
MaximiIian has shown to the world that
he was the best ruler they ever had, and
was doing all that wise man could do to
develop the resources of that country, un-
til betrayed by Judas lscariot, in whom be
had tru.ted.
MaximiIian was one of natures noble
men, because he was an educated Chris
tian gentleman, and all his acts were high
toned, chiyalric, and becoming the brother
of an emperor.

brave man should die but his life was the
most beautiful pearl, sacrificed to beastly
swine.
The civilized world will honor and revere
bis memory for his many vistues, for ages
to come, while it will shrink with horror
and detestation from the perpetrators o.
this most daStardly outrage Of modern his
tory.
Americans the bloodhound Escobe1t
has insolently and defantly declared to tht
world THAT before closing his military Ca
reer he hopes to see the blood of every

Shall this be so? Out with this foul
blot that stains the American Continent
Let us meet in our strength, that we
may give public expression to our indigna

O. GREELEY ON THE "GRAND ARMY
There is in existence 10 this country an or
ganization known as the "Grand Army OF
the Republic" 1t is entirely political in
it's character and objects, although the pre-
tence has been made that it is soldiers
benevolent association. 1t is the descend
ant of the Know Nothings, Wide Awakes
and Loyal Leagues, and received the fol-
lowing certificate of character from Horace
Greeley, through the New York Tribune
OF Wednesday last:
We find a sentiment in the country
that has expression in a few miserable, job
bing newspapers-a kind of,ThenaSdier
feeling. A number of office-beggars and
politicians, calling themselves the Grand
Army of the Republic, and meeting in out
ofthe-way places with grips and passwords
are passing resolutions demanding confis-
cation and farms. This is either knavery
or madness People who want farms work
for them. The only class We know that
takes other peoples property because they
want it is largely represented in Sing Sing
The people of this country do not wan
Sing Sing and Mexican banditti principles
introduced into their statesmanship. W.
can never reconstruct America by the gal
lows, and the Deputy-Sheriff.

Declaration OF Independence.

On our first page we print the ancient
document, signed by one John Hancock
and his associate members of the Continen-
tai Congress, andcommonly known as the
Declaration of Independence, in which
they publish and declare that these Uni
ted Colonies are. and of right ought to be
FREE and INDEPENDENT States ) assign
ing in justification oNtheir course long
list of grievances which the Colonists had
suffered and were suffering at the hands
of Great Britain, among which we're
that he had dissolved the local Legislatures
for opposing his invasions of the rights of
the people, Ia Ia Sheridan, Ord Pope and
Dan Sickles J that be had erected null
titude of new offices, and sent swarms of
officers to harrass the people and eat out
their substance, (as is now being done,
North, under the tax laws, and worse still,
South, under the Freedman's Bureau and
Reconstruction Acts of the Radical Rump
Congress0 that standing armies were
quartercd among the people in time OF
peace and the military rendered indepen-
dent of the civil power, las is now done in
ten of the States of the Uuion J that he
imposed taxes upon the people without
their consent, and without granting them
the corresponding benefit of repI presentation,
(which grievance our Southern States are
now suffering at the hands of King Rad
ical J that the benefit of trial by jnry was
denied them, (as it has long been denied
under the reign of the present party in
power;) that he had taken away their
charters, a la the sweeping destruction
of State Constitution by Congressional
enactments J abolisbing their most valua-
bic laws, and altering, fundamentally, the
forms of their governments.
This trite old document was promulga-
ted to the world On the Fourth Of July
l776, and to its support was pledged the
lives, the fortunes and sacred honor of its
signers. Tne grave offences charged
against the King Of Great Britain in that
Declaration are many of them literally
true against the present Radical Congress,
and the Military Despotisms established
by it over the Southern States. The
Ninety-frst Anniversary of the great event
of which we write will occur on the ap
preaching Fourth July; and it would
be we'll if the occasion should be improved
by the men of 1857 in pledging their
lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor
to re-establish the Government upon the
sacred principles of l776, and restoring
the Constitution which united the States
together in common bond of brother
hood, and guaranteed to every citizen hi:

pursuit Of happiness Oswego Gazette.

The MAINE LAw.-The good people
Of Maine have been trying the virtues
said to lie in strict enforcement Of this
welI-known statute. The constab ulary,
having concluded their legitimate labors,
have recently been employed as follows, il
we may believe the Standard, published
at Augusta 1t says:
We give the following as the result OF
the past weeks labor:
A cow arrested for having two "horns. y
A colored individual, lately deceased,
fined for being ''on his bier"
A pair of boots seized for being eight.
A little bop's knife sentenced to have
its tail cut off for having 'high time."
A clothing dealer "haulpd up" for ad-
vertising "Great Bar gains"
A confectionar tried for selling "Ginger
Snaps"
A horse ran away and smashed wag
on. The horse was promptly arrested,
but it being proved that the ''smash" con-
tanned nothing Intoxicating, he was ac-
quilted.
Several "cocktails" found in the hen.
coop of prominent citizen, were confisca-
ted. The success of the police in this
seizure caused much Growing" and it will
doubtless "spur" them on to increased ac-
tivity.
An unfortunate Hibernian was locked
up for getting "punch" in the head.
A worthy shoemaker, seized on suspi-
cion of being "cobbIer," but proving
there was no SHERRY" connected with him
was released on condition that this should
be his "last' offence. He was informed
that any future derelictlon would involve
the confiscacion of his "all." The excite
ment "waxed' intense.
Complaint that barrel of beef was
found "corned" at Adams.

York paper announces the receipt of the
first consignment of southern new wheat in
that city, and learns that "southerL millers

that they will be able to sell flour in north.

Advices from Chicago state that the
"ring." which succeeded for two years past
in controlling the grain market in that
CITY, has been broken, and that some of
those composing it have lost immense sums.
These are good tidings for the people,

qairer says:
1--WE have two currencies-one for the
people and one fer the bondholders. The
people are obliged to take legal tenders for
their debts, while the bondholders have
gold The legal tenders are good enough
for the masses, but the bondholders must
have something better. The money OF
the people is subjected to State and local
taxation, while that Of the bondholders,
derived from their bonds, is exempt from
it. The boudholders, therefore, have the
gold currency and no taxation, and the
people have paper currency with heavy
taxation. We have compulsory paper
for the people, and a gold currency for the
owners of the Government bonds-the
latter currency is at par, and the former
is now over thirty per cent. below par
The people are taxed, aud the capital in
bonds is not taxed. 1t is thus that we
have method provided by which the
capitalists can escape bearing any share oa
the public burthens; but there is no such
provision for the laboring man."

The Carlisle Volunteer, quoting the ac-
count of the late sale of Mrs. Lincoln's
furniture at Chicago remarks:
1t is fact ON record, that more money
was expended to furnish the White House
during the four years that the 'late la
meuted" and his family occupied it, than
had been expended during the occupancy
by Jackson. Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler,
Taylor, Fillmore and Buchanan combined.
And yet when President johnson took
possession of it,it had to be refurnished
again from top to bottom, as everything
had been carried off.

The FUNERAL OF Hon. CHARLES DEN
soN.-T'he funernal of Hon. Charles Dem
lson took place. on Sundaylafernoon last
at 8 o'clock. His death, which took place
on Thursday morning at about 9 o'clock,
caused the most profound regret not only
amongst his immediate neighbors and
friends, but throughout tho whole section
as the announcement of his demise spread
among the people. His funeral was more
numerously attended than any ever known
in the valley. the concourse of mourning
friends at the house was immense. and
hundreds turned away from the funeral
procession unable to obtain conveyance to
the burial ground at Forty-Fort, whence
his remains were conveyed, and where re.
pose the ashes of his ancestors and con-
nections. There were one hundred and
thrty-four conveyances in the funeral
train, including coaches, band wagons, and
almost every available conveyance. 81:
The remains were followed to the grave
by the Masonic fraternity of this place
and neighboring towns, and the solemn
rites of the order were performed at the
last resting place of the beloved and dis
tinguished brother. Such a universal ex-
preston of regret and mourning was never
exhibited at the demise of citizen of this
valley, and it will perhaps be many long
year before Death claims from onR midst
one more beloved, revered and respected
than him whose death it is our painful du-
ty to chronicle

20 hear some Of them brag on what

The time is now at hand, when
every merchant should advertise bis
stock, and let the people know what
to expect In return for their labor Of
The year. The cotton and commits
sion merchants especially everywhere,
should make there whereabouts at
once known, and bid for the trade
which will otherwise pass by them to
houses and men who advertise, and
who are known TO the people every
where. Men may say our appeal to
