WHO IS THE DoTARD ?-Si1: Isaac
Newton wrote a commentary upon
the Prophet Daniel, and another upon
the Book of Revelations ; in one 'of
which he said that, in order to fulfill
certain prophcsies before e certain
date was tcrlninatcd-thc ], 1,2GO days

would be mode Of travelling discov-
cred of which the men Of lis time
had TO conception; nay, that the
knowledge of mankind would be 50
increased that they would be able to
travel at the rate rate Of fifty miles an
hour! The inidal Voltaire got hold
Of this, and snccrinsly said: Now
look at that mighty mind of Newton,
who discovered gravity, and told such
marrcls for us to admire When he
became an old man, and got in his
dotage, he began to study that book
called the Bible; and it seems that,
in order to credit it's fabulous non
sense, we must believe that the knowl-
edge of mankind will be so increased
that we shall be able to travel at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. The poor
dotard exclaimed the philosophic
infdcl, in the self complacency Of his
profound ignorance.

Lincoln on Nssro suffrage.

In September, 1883, during his great
contest with Douglas for the Senate, Mr.
Lincoln, in a speech at Charleston, Hi
nois, said;
While | was in the hotel to-day, an
elderly gentleman called upon me to
know il Twas really in favor OF producing
perfect equality between the negroes
and the white people. ! will say, then,
that 1 am NOT, nor never have been in
favor of making voters or jurors Of ne,
groes, nor Of qualifying them TO hold
office, nor to intermarty with wbIe peo-
pie; and will say, in addition to this,
that there is physical difference be-
tween the black aud white races, which
/ believe will forever prohibit the two
races from ever living on terms Of social
and political equality And inasmuch
as they cannot so live, while they do re-
main together, there must be the posi-
ton of superior and inferior, and |, as
much as any other man, am in favor of
having the superior position assigned to
the white race.

WAR POETRY on THE SOUTH.

We are indebted to Mr., L. f. Hovey,
agent, and now in this city, for a copy
of the War Poetry of the South" We
have glanced over the volume, and think
that Mr.. William Gilmore Simms, the
compiler, has rendered q signal service
to the South Genius is peculiar to no
cline or section, and the sentiment Of
patriotism animates the bosoms and
strengthens the arms of every people.
The South may claim to possess no
great poetical genius; but she may
claim to possess those who, when occa.
sion offers, can rise to the lofty nights OF
poetry. During her struggle for separate
independence, her land was as vocal
with song as it was with the voices of
birds. The note of triumph mingled
with that of disaster, 80 that the new
made melody took the color of the hope
that grew bright and dark alternately
during the struggle. These songs of
many tones illustrate the emotional
history of remarkable people, and are,
in their collected state, the most pre-
cious ssuvenirS Of cause that was only
lost when human nature itself sunk
down from exhaustion. Every center
table in the South should hold this work.
1t is beautifully printed and bound, and
should be preserved and transmitted as
an inheritance forever.

could be- found willing TO express such a
sentiment. Profane men swear horrible
oaths, but they do SO from habit more
than from disposition, But this bull Of
Brownlow possesses every element OF
deliberation. He was sincere, as his
policy as Governor affords unquestiona'
BILE evidence. We disclaim any disposi-
ton to arouse the passions OF the people
We counsel quite the reverse. Our true
course is Cancellation when Cancellation
is not surrender of principle But we
think the people should stand firm and
refuse to yield an inch of ground. AS
we said in the beginning ofthese remarks
we fear that their temper is to be severely
taxed. 1t is their duty to practice pru-
dence. 1t is no less their duty to resist
outrage, come from what quarter 1t may.

MISSISSIPPI nEsTITUTI0N.

The Jackson Mississippian of q late
date contains this distressing informa-
ton: I'VE had call on yesterday by
a gentleman of intelligence and veracity
from Wayne county, who informed US
that the restitution in that and adjoin-
ing counties, was really appalling that
starvation was actually staring the in.
habitants in the face. he said they had
made no crops since the war closed
that money to buy provisions wa, not to
be had upon any terms, and that great
many farmers who are working from
twenty-five to thirty hands would be
compelled to abandon their crops
simply for want of means to furnish
provisions to their employees. His &C.
count of the suferings now, and the
appalling prospects for the future was
truly frightful and heart-rending.

FROM NEW YORK.

New York, May l3.-At Montgomery,
on Saturday, Senator Wilson addressed
an audience of the usual mixed charac-
ter. He made no reference to conhsca-
ton.
Hex Confederate Gen. Clayton replied,
arguing that the negro didn't owe his
freedom to the Republican party; that
President Lincoln promised the rebel
lious South, two years after the CON-
mencement of the war, their slaves would
be undsturbed if they would return to
the Union.
After the speech, Gen. Swayne called
for the sense of the colored people. The
response was unanimous for the Radi'
Gals.
A New Orleans special says Kelly
addressed the people on the political
status last Saturday. His audience was
the largest mass meeting Of citizens
known in that city for some time. Res
olutions of strong Republican charac
ter we're adopted after the speaking. The
remarks Of the Judge were frequently
applauded.
