The New York World says:
Armed occupation of great country, once
begun, is not easily or speedily ended, even
when the government that orders it is ever so
little disposed to multiply the complications
which are to prevent its withdrawal. The hour
has come at which our Polands and our Irelands
are to be erected, but who can foresee the day
when they will be transformed back again into

postponed beyond the next Presidential cleo

The only valuable property that cod-liver oil

its ozone. But the nauseous taste and the bad eff

the quantities of ozone they may have imbibed
from the atmosphere.

must be reckoned the votes of the Senators
from West Virginia, denying the validity of the
government of Virginia. When it is remem-
bered that our State government was imported
from Wheeling via Alexandria and that it is
the same under which West Virginia claims
title, this denial Of its legality sewers the jugu-

The National InteUigencer shows that the
bill which has passed Congress for the govern
ment of the South, if acquiesced in by the peo-
pie of the North, sounds the death knell of lib
erty in the North as we'll as in the South. 1t
concludes an able editorial in these words:
"a country that will acquiesce, in a time of
universal peace, in measure deliberately abro-
eating the Constitution and laws in toto over
half the nation, yet affecting to keep them in
force in the other half is a country ignorant OF
its own constitution, and, therefore, incapable
of saving faith in it. Such people are ripe
for self abasement, and in imminent peril OF
their freedom. -
