TIE SUBMISSIVE SPIRIT.

No greater mistake is likely to seize upon
the minds of the Southern people, than that
it is necessary for them to attempt to appcase
the spirit Of fanatcism by accomplishing
submission to the tyranny of the North. That
the North has the power aud the disposition
to crush our liberties, and bind US to the
chariot of dcspotism, is fact patent to every
rejecting mind, but we do wrong to submit
without protest. In the name of God and
of liberty, wo should ftstcn the responsibility
OF this crime upon our prosecutors, and alb
solve ourselves from any blame in this assas-
sination of free government. The editor of
the Old Guard, in its last number, thus il,
lustrates this mattcr:-
a Southern man, or rather Northern man
long time residing in the South, writes us that
he is satisfied the only thing which can save
the South is 4 humble and submissive spirit"
Alas, what stupidity! No oppressed people
was ever yet saved by "humbc and submits
Sive spirit" Manhood and pluck are the only
things that ever saved people from oppres-
sion. Wo are reminded of a story, told by
Livy, Of the IricerHatc&, who had been sub
ducd by the Romans. Their city was taken by
Plautius, the consul, after their leader, T-Hri-
people had been killed. Being reduced to 4
low condition, they sent ambassadors to Rome
to desire peace; and when Senator asked
them what punishment they deserved, one
of tham answered: 'YHe same ach5ch Mey
deserve 5ch0 Mnk themselves ,eoyfhy Of hLcT-
IT," The consul then demanded zchat H-inR
c/Pe"ce might be expected from them t'thc
punishment should be remitted The Ambas-
sador answered: ''Lf the terms .you gre be
goo2, tie peace lciU be 'oJscrccd jy as f;tith>
fully and popetualW; irLad, 1t ,cW soon be
broken" Though the least generous were
offended at this brave answer, the most saga
cious portion Of the Senate said it was a:o,iIty
Of q man and n free nun, well knowing that
no people would long consent to be oppressed,
and acknowledged that '.hc.y only 1rcrc III to
be mluRc Romans scho Mouyht nothiag caLs,-
u1jLe Jut liberty" Those who think that a
cringing and submissive spirit will ever be a
remedy for the South, have neither read
history, nor understand the character of the
Mongrel party. There will ever be found
weights Of humiliation and indignity for all
the humility and submission the South can
put on.

OUR SHOW.

The excessive heat of the weather, and
the putrid condition of our animals, have in
duccd us to suspend for the present week, if
not till change Of weather, the exhibition
with which we have been entertaining our
readers for some weeks past. When We res
new our show again we. shall open with an
account of Joe Chapline's tonsOrial experience
at Harper's Ferry. We have been holding
this back for some time, but we shall send it
out when we renew our exhibition.
By the way; we understand that ] oe very
boldly dashed into the Spirit Before the
Court at Shepherdstowu ON Monday week
We regret that we were not present, for it
would have afforded US an opportunity of
learning JOe's opinion of US and our paper
That check, that notorious check, was the
cause of it all. He declared positively, as
we are informed, that he did not steal the
check from the Papnrs on record. We never
accused him Of doing so, We only expressed
little surprise that the check could not be
found just at the time it was needed We
did say that Joseph gave that check when he
had no funds in Bank to meet it, and this he
has not denied, to our knowledge. Perhaps
he will seek to acquit himself at some future
day.
He spoke Of our paper, we are told as a
"viIe sheet" 4Ne.~can readily understand
this denunciation. lie meant to inform the
Court that the paper had become vile on ac-
count of its repeated exposition of the vii
.liany of himself aud party. This was his
meaning, evidently, and regarding his re-
marks in this light, VIC are disposed to treat
him with decided moderation, until we again
open up on radicalisln, which may be next
week, He infers that our paper is incendia-
~ from the manner in which it has burned
him and his friends. But we have only fair
~ commenced on you Joe; by the time we
get through with our exposure, We expect the
fire will have entirely consumed you, and
others of Borcman's small fry.

intelligent Interpretation of the above ex-
tract, which Is given portion of speech

lie Of course has reference to our own deplo-
Table condition, and speaks of matters con-
nected with our own government, and if he

had been completely overthrown and rerolu-
tionized.
The first clause Of the second sentence, suc-

ferrous thing called government reside?" 1t
used to exist in three separate and distinct
tr!bunals-the Legislative to enact, the Ju~
dicial to expound, and the Executive to en-
force. But where is it now, under the pres
cnt order Of things? Is it not entirely alb
sorbcd by the Legislative department, which
has usurped the Executive and judicial pre-
negatives, and enthroned itself upon the ruins
Of what was once government of coordinate
branches, the one serving rs check upon
the other? Now this is a direct result, flow
ing from a departure from the Constitution.
First, by placing in the hands Of the Exccu-
tive, in the days of the '.late iamcntcd,' great
CT power than the Constitution vested in that
department, enabling its pos5cssor to issue
imperial edicts aud to imprison freemen with
out the right Of appeal; and to issue his
ukase for the abolition Of institutions older
than the government itself, and which had
the pledge Of the governments protection
This was the first departure, and led to 9th
eTs, not less disastrous in their consequences.
While the President was with it, the Legisla-
tive department was content to recognize.him
as the residuary Of power, upon whom the
weight Of government rested, but as soon as
an effort was made to return to the Constitu-
ton as the chart of government, Congress
became the usurper and the President was
shorn of his strength. And what the sequel

The Financial Situation oGtbo Country

Mr.. McCulloch, the Secretary of the Treas
ury, in reply to an invitation to dinner ten,
dered him by prominent citizens Of Boston,
regrets his inability to attend, and makes few
remarks upon financial matters. lie saws that
the bounties to soldiers, preparations for the
Indian war, the intended large issue Of bonds
to the Pacific Railroad, and other liberalappro-
priations for miscellaneous purposes, together
with the partial failure of the wheat and corn
crops last year, the Hardness of reconstruction
in the South, the reduced taxes and general
dizziness Of trade, will prevent reduction and
probably produce an increase in the national
debt for some time. lie gives the following
reasons for not contracting the currency at the
present time, but says be is as much in favor of
that policy as ever:
Frst-The views of a majority Of the men,
bers OF Congress, as indicated by number of
votes last winter, were adverse TO immediate
contraction, and [ have not felt at liberty to
place myselfin practical opposition to the law
making branch of the government. without
whose support [ must be powerless.
'SccOnd-There have existed for some
months past anxious foreboding of financial
troubles, and while they continued have been
apprehensive that contraction of the curren-
cy. the object and effect of it being misunder-
stood or misinterPreted. might produce panic

over the country and'beyond the speculative
interests, would injuriously affect legitimate
business and the revenue dependent upon it.
Ihrd-Large amounts of interest bearing
notes arc to be paid or converted within the
present and next fiscal year, to which it seemed
prudent for me first to direct my attention,
leaving the question of curtailment of the cir
culatIng notes to be determined, from month to
month, by the condition of the country and of
the treasury.
foHrtt--Anticipating that the failure of the
crops and the other circumstances alluded to
would seriously affect business, l have cousid-
cred 1t important that the public mind should
not be diverted by the criticisms and COM
plants of those who are opposed to coutrac-

sound policy should not be put in peril by

GEN. 1oNasrRuET's LETTER.

In the struggle which resulted in the over
throw of the military power of the South,
no officer or soldier bore himself with greater
gallantry and sustained higher character,
than Lieut. Gen. Longstreet and the opin-
ions of very few of our late military leaders
are regarded with greater interest, or carry
with them greater weight and influence
Very naturally the people Of the South are
disposed to regard with consideration the ex-
pressions of those who enjoyed their conf.
dence and led their armies, in the recent ter
Tible conflict; and those who followed them
in the storm of battle, are ready to follow
them in the more intricate, but less hazard
Gus field of politics.
Under these circumstances it is matter
deeply to be regretted that an officer of Gen.
Longstreets influence, should be found giy-
ing ready aequiescence to the iniquitous
measures Of Congress and seeking utilization
with the party that is endeavoring to force
those measures upon the PROSTATE people of
the South. If sit matters not to hin, wheth-
er he bear the mantle of Mr.. Davis or Mr.
Sumner" it is matter of deep concern to the
people, and they will receive with sorrow such
an expression from one whom they loved and
trusted.
The position which he assumes that 'the
highest of human laws is the law that is es-
tablishcd by appeal to arms, is an accept
auce of the doctrine that "might makes
right" and is equivalent to advising the
Southern people to receive the fact Of their
defeat as the inevitable result of struggle
waged in behalf of an unjust cause. His
declaration of purpose to endeavor with re-
newed energy to meet the wishes Of the radi-
cal party, on the subject of reconstruction,
would feign hope, was made without ma
Ire consideration and his endorsement of
he right claimed by Congress to regulate
he question of suffrage, is a wide departure,
if not from his previous political position, at
least from the letter and spirit of the consti-
tuition, under which his present political
friends profess to act and by which they
aim to be governed.
From whatever stand point we view it, we
gard this letter of Gen. Longstreet as cx-
edingly unfortunate. we know that we
commanded to Glove our enemies and
.ay for them that despitefully use US" but
1t is no where recorded that we are to surren-
der our own convictions of right, embrace
their hercsies. and aid them in their malicious
purposes to humiliate and degrade us. "Be
We separate from them, " is q precept that moro
nearly accords with the condition and temper
of the Southern people, and it is one to
which they Will most likely adhere. Afili-
alton with radicalism would be reversal of
the laws of human nature, and would stamp
the Southern people with inefaceable dis
grace.

evenings since, which terminated in most
distressing manner. Soon after the bride had
retired, stranger made his appearance and
inquired for the groom, who, on presenting
himself, was taken into custody, charged with
stealing horse in Brunswick. He begged
for permission TO take leave of his bride, and
went to her room for that purpose, when she
upbraided him for deceiving her, and drove
him from her apartment. The groom was
taken away and confined in Jail. The bride

This pet Of radicalism, who boosted in his

IMPROVED STOCK.-During last week we
had the satisfaction of looking at a herd of
the celebrated pure shorthorncd Durham
cattle, lately brought from Kentucky by JAS
NJ. Ransom, Esq. Without protesting to be
judge of stock, We have no hesitation in
saying, that for size and beauty, these ami
mails surpass any we have ever seen, and by
their very appearance, attest the purity of
their blood. 1t is gratifying to witness this
indication of improvement in the introduc-
ton of superior stock, and Mr.. r. deserves
the thanks of the agricultural community for
the public spirit which he has evinced. Now
is the time for our farmers to improve their
stock, and we are glad there seems to be an
awakening to the importance Of the subject
The scarcity of reliable labor will inevitably
result in greater attention to grazing, and ma
ny Of our large land-holders will doubtless
have their broad acres clothed with grass for
the sustcnauco of the Glowing herds" We
understand that Mr.. Ransom will have for
sale a few calves from these thorough, bred
cattle during the present summer and cnsu-
ing fall Our farmers would do we'll to call
and examine this lot and satisfy themselves
of the truth of what we have stated.
