That it is the duty of every good citizen to

That every respectable Northern man, or

ceiivcd as friend and treated as Such. 4.i
That in future, no qualification for Office,
from the lowest to the highest, will be. exacted
among US, save that Of merit. :.
That the security of our political institu-
tioDs demands that the highest facilities for

provision.
That constitutional provision should be
made for the exemption OF every mans home
stead from levy and sale, that our population
may become fixed and permanent TO the soil
That the laws Of this Sta.e require nsodi-
cation in many respects, but more especially
should they be SO changed as to do away with

fraud, and corporeal punishment for crime or
any other cause.
That we. congratulate ourselves that, being
undcr military authority, we have placed over
us that humane and enlightened soldier and
statesman, Gen. Daniel Z Sickles, the Com

At Home and Abroad.

We hope Senator Nye and Ex-
Speaker Banks are half sincere in
their professions of sympathy for
Ireland, but we doubt it, much as
we dislike to question the motives
Of gentleman in high places, and our
reasons are that these men who cry
aloud against England and Austria,
are by their votes, imposing worse
expressions upon the South than ever
Austria or England imposed upon
Hungary or Ireland. When the
Hungarian revolution was in pro-
gress, all denounced the despotism
of Austria. But in that absolute
monarchy, there are, at this time,
in the Diet of Hungary, majoity
Of pardoned rebels. In the case of
Ireland, we see her, with her six
millions of people, represented in
the English House Of Lords, and
with one hundred representatives in
the Commons. Charity, gentlemen,
is always kind and wise for the op-
pressed as flor the hungry, but it
begins at home. You are treating
the South, to-day worse than ever
Austria or England treated Hunga-
ry or Ireland.

The 39th Congress.

Thehistory of the late Congress
is yet to be written, and, when it is,
the following fact, in the self-inter-
est Of it's members, will have to be
recorded:
After making contract for serv-
ices for three thousand dollars per
annum, it passed bill to take out
of the treasury, and did take out
five thousand, and then reduced the
tax upon incomes of five thousand
and upwards from 10 to per cent.
Making extra salary $4,000
Difference in tax upon income $50
Net profit to each member $3.50
A Congress which began it's cx-
istencc with so much self-righteous-
ness, and so many self-proclaimed
"moral ideas,' could hardly have
ended elsewhere. The 10th Con-
gress promises to follow in the foot
steps of it's illustrious predecessor.

Nebraska.

The bill, accepting the Congress
ional condition, was rushed through
the State Legislature, enrolled and
prepared for the signature of the
Governor, when 10 (which Cover
nor was the Governor ? became q
question. Alvin declined signing
the bill because it was an act of a
State Legislature, and he was the
Governor of a territory. David de-
clined signing it because the Legis-
lature was called together under an
act of Congress by the Territorial
Governor, and he had nothing to do
with it. Now, as the legislature
adjourned within three DAYS of the
passing Of the act, and it was not
by Governor, VIC rather
VPi..o ta--t :. c-:I~ j l. L - =,
and consequently that the act of
Congress "admitting the State of

been at all complied with, and is in
reality not State, though represen-
ted in Congress.

BE True.

Never desert friend when cne-
mics gather around him, when sick
ness falls on the heart-when the
world is cold, dark, dreary and cheer
less, is the time to try friend. -
Those who turn from the scene of
distress betray their hypocrisy, and
prove that interest moves them. If
you have friend who loves YOU,
who studies your interest and hap
pincss, bc ouiu To sustain iiiu In al
versity. Don't, like paltry pol
troon, sneak away, but like true
man, tender the services you are
able to him who was true to you.
Let him know and feel that his kind
nesses arc appreciated, that his love
was not thrown away. Real fidelity
is rare, still it exists in the heart.
Who has not experienced it ? Those
who never loved a friend, or labored
to make friend happy, know not
it's worth.

Masonic Secret.

An anecdote is related Of a Mast
CT Mason, well known to most of our
readers, noted as he is for his many
acts of charity. He is withal man
of good presence, and great favor
ite with the ladies-so much so as to
cause some degree ofjealousy on the
part of his worthy spouse. One
evening, not long since, bundle
came to the house for him labeled
"priyate. OF course this was suf-
ficient for female curiosity, and there
fore she INDUCED in an inspection.
Horror of horrors I! Blankets, baby
linen, &C., greeted her astonished
vision, and dreams of two families
foated through her brain. The hus-
band soon came in, and. after tea,
when the wife had discovered in his
eyes the treachery of his conduct
as she supposed-he took the bundle
and went out, but not alone, for the
jealous wife was on his track. The
faithlcss husband little imagined
that she who supposed herself so
foully wronged was lowering after
him. He halted before a small ten
ement, which he entered. Here she
paused to hold council of war
What tactics to follow she was in
doubt but she at once determined
to storm the citadel, boldly knocked,
and brushing past the little child
who answered the summons, she
stood in an instant before her hus-
band, the embodiment of injured in
nocence. Her feelings were about
to find expression, when the scene
before her caused her to pause. A
pale and careworn man shivering
over the expiring embers of a scanty
fire, poor woman on sick bed, a
babe not old enough for christening,
and two little girls snugly slowed
away on some straw in corner, met
her ferocious gaze. She read the
story at a glance, and returned
home with her husband q better and
wiser woman, satisfied that she had
discovered the great secret of Ma
sonry.-Lockport Journal.
