JoHN's PRETTY WIFE.-At the early dawn
of the rebellion, John would 60. No per.
suasion could induce him to abandon his
fighting propensities. He craved Yankee
meat.
His wife was in desperate health, pale,
feeble and emaciated, yet young. A par
ting kiss and John was gone. During the
first twelve months of the wal news c:me
that Johns wife had passed away! The
war closed and John, with honors, scars
and glory, returned to his once happy home.
"Oh," says he, THAT sweet flower, so
beautiful in fading, has gone, but will
stroll the walks where we were once so
happy" He was invited into the parlor.
A fine, healthy, rosy lady made her appear
ance. A scream was heard and she fell into
his arms! Alb, what a happy time-that
lady was Johns wife. "My dear wife" says
John, what has produced so great a change
in your" "Dromgoole & Co.'s English

and persistent vindication of constitutional

under the fatal influence of the reconstruc'

and the paralysis of enterprise and, al.

suits, and the final lapse of Caucasion civil

fully declare to our Democratic friends and
brethren of the North, that the spirit of the
people Of this State has been revived by
the late cheering aud suspicious Democratic
successes and that, upon these successes,
we base an abiding confidence in the wisdom
and patriotism of the American people, and

sword and buckler, the irreprcssible ne
gro. A secret "Union League" of Afr
cans, four thousand strong, offers t.
be here in "ten hours" to put down thu
President and the Supreme Court.
Encouraged by all these military pre-
parations a Radical speaker on the i'm
parchment assumed a menacing and con
temptuouHtone towards their opponents
the Conservative masses; in substance
accusing them of cowardice, and declar.
ing their ability and readiness to put
them down with the strong hand.
1t is deeply to be regretted that this
course has been pursued. There is nc
occasion for violence. If the construction
ofthe Constitution and the laws is in doubt,
oris disputed; if the Congress and the
President cannot agree, then let the Su.
preme Court say which isright. If there
are different views of public policy, let
the people 60 on to arbitrate and decide,
as they have been doing at every cleo,
ton where they have had opportunity
for many months past. 1t is Just these
two things-the judgment of the courts
and that of the people-that the re-
evolutionary party most dread. A party
pledged TO revolution cannot afford to 90
fairly into either forum; its only success
lies in the sword, or in the intimidation
of its opponents.
The last clearly will not answer. The
i%nsolent imputation made by Radical lea
ders upon the courage and manhood of
of the Democratic masses, their bold
avowals off purpose to use violence, has
already led to counter military demon
STATIONS on the part of the people. The
masses of the land would greatly prefer
a decision by the highest judicial tribu-
nails, or to the ballot box; but before
they are cheated or bullied out of
both, they will make a r~esolute stand for
the Constitution. Revolutionary violence
will be met by armed preparation on the
part of the people, who are intended to
be subjugated-a people eminently peace
loving and sick Of public disorders, but
too manly and intelligent to yield their
liberties and Constitution to the military
demand of Santon and Grant, and album
dainty able at the proper time, to prove
to the cowardly legislative defamers aof
their courage that they have both the
will and the nerve to be free.-Manon-
al MteMtgencer.

the Sword.

A revolutionary usurpation naturally
shuns the arbitrament of the courts, and
prefers to invoke the sword. While the
President is quiet and almost %unguarded
in the Executive Mansion, Mr. Stanton
fairly bristles with military preparation.
General Grant is summoned to the front,
and responds with alacrity, only too anx-
ious to be avenged on the constitutional
President, by whom his duplicity was
unmasked to the country. General Gea-

impeachment and Mock Patri-
OtiSm.

Bolingbroke says "patriotism must
be founded in great principles and sup
ported by great virtues" Very high
qualities of mind and head are thus re.
quired to make a good patriot, and We
must have somehow a vast amount of
assimilated patriotism-consisting of
very loud professions of devotion to the
country, very bitter denunciation of those
who do not belosg to the Radical party,
and very earnest advocacy of the doc
trines of the last caucus. When the
Radicals demanded of the States CT the
South an amendment to the Constitu-
ton abolishing slavery as a condition
precedent to their admission into the
Senate and House, it was downright
treason to oppose the measure, because
We were told 1t was a short road to the
restoration Of the Union. That was
mock patriotism. When the amend
9tnt was adopted, and the South de-
@anded representation, they were told
that they were not States at all. but
conquered provinces. That was mock
patriotism. Loyalty then required the
people to submit to the exclusion of che
States of the South, because, if admitted,
they would vote against the Radicals.
That, again, was mock patriotisp&
