our public men,, Spcalsea, Oolfax, in
n letter to some Fenians, written re-
Gently, expresses great sympathy with
their movement, and gives his views
as to the value of "sympathy" to peo-
pie who are struggling for liberty. He
thinks that American sympathy was
of great service to the Poles, the
HungariNns, the Cretans and the
Liberals of Mexico; and. he ipfers,
therefore, that it will also aid the Fe-
nian cause.
The New York Times says this is
NIL very fine talk, but not much else.
Expressions of sympathy are always
gratifying to people who are strug-
Cling or suffering; but in contests for
freedom, they are worth but little,
except as they may inspire hopes of
moro substantial aid; hopes thus in
spired generally lead to disappoipt-
mcnt.
The Poles have had the issmpathy
OF the.world, but they are more tho
roughly the victims Of tyranny now
than ever before. American sympa-
thy for the Fenians has probably en-
couragod n good many croduious
Irishmcn to rush to Canada, aud to
attempt rising in Ireland; but all
they have got by it has been the sen
toncc of the halter and quartering.
AS our cotcmporary says, these reso-
lutions are nothing more than the
tricks of demagogues, by which they
hope to whcedlc the credulous into
giving them their votes, and keeping
them in Office.
On par with this, is the "sympa-
thy" expressed by the radical orators
to the freedmen, when they harrow
up their feelings with the horrors ol

OUE FINANCIAL PROSPECTS. We
hear from Washington that the Sec
re'ary of the Treasury expresses the
opinion very freely that no further
reduction of the public debt need be
expected at present; indeed, chances
are that the debt will be increased
within the next three months.

PREFERRING MILITARY RULE.-A
correspondent of the New York He
raid writes:
"Judge Marvin, OF Florida, late
Provisional Governor, and the pre-
sent Senator elect, is of opinion that
the majority Of the old citizens Of
the South would prefer always to
live under military rule, and without
representation i'll Congress, rather
than to come back into the Union
with the disabilities imposed and
with, universal suffrage; and he thinks
tho peace of society there is better
preserved by authority of, military
commanders than it ever will be by
tho civil authorities. Should the
States generally hecomc recon
structed, rs required by Congress,
and thus get back into the Union,
there is, says the Judge, natural
antagonism of races, aud q prejudice
even stronger than the natural hos
tility, which cannot be overcome,
especially under circumstances Of
compulsion such as are now pre-
scribed to the South. Old masters
will never be able to bring them
selves into submission to civil govern
mcnt administered by their former
slaves. Hence there will always be
nm clement Of danger at the very
basis OF the structures proposed on
negro suffrage. He has no doubt,
however, that the work Of recon
struction now in progress will result
in the reunion of nll the States.
There IS some question among Se-
nators elect from the Southern States
now here, among whom is Judge
Marvin, whether, in the event of
their States being received into tho
Union under the military rcconstruc
tionAct, they will be allowed to take
their seats. 1t is the general opinion
that they will not, without a re-clec-
ton. This is the view of Senator
johnson. But there seems to be
strong reasons to the contrary, and
in favor of their reception. The
Southern States are certainly States
although it may be outside of the
Union. They are recognized by
Congress as States thus existing, by
the very requirement that they Shall
make their constitutions conform to
the will OF Congress before they can
DC admitted into or received into the
Union. Hence, as States, they can
legally, it would seem, elect Senators
prior to their admission into the
Union. This is always done by Ter
rltorles, which become, after forming
their constitutions, States outside of
the Union, and after their admission.
their Senators and Representatives
proceed to take their seats"

Advertising

Advcrtisingi is indicative Of liberal
and generous spirit. We state it as a
fact, without the fear Of contradiction,
that the business men who advertise
most literally are by far the most lib
eral hearted and generous people among
US. Take, for example, our own ad-
vcrtisins columns and test the truth of
our remarks by visiting the local and
foreign business houses that are there
in advertised, and mark our prediction,
in nine cases out of ten, you will ascer-
tain that your purchases can be made,
or your business transacted on much
fairer terms than ifyou had continued
your patronage with those who are too
economical and parsimonious to advcr
tise, and are utterly devoid OF that high
toned public spirit which ever patron
ICES the press. We are confident that
that our assertion is correct, and we
challenge any attempt at rcfutation'
We trus. our country readers will
carefully peruse our advertising COL
umns and give our local merchants, me-
chanics and tradesmen q call before
making their purchase or transacting
their business with the non.advertisers
of the community.
We commend the above advice to
our readers, and if strictly adhered to,
we will guarantee that it saves five times
the amount of your subscription in q
