4ireiy unworthy of the generous ferbear-
ance received BY them atdhe hands of a
people whom they have SO deeply mi nred.
Nothlhgis demanded in spirit of anger
or revenge. Seeking the safety Of the ma
ton, we demand only what is deemed ss-
sentlal to It's future peace, and TO -tbe~per-~
! petu'ty OF our free Institutions. No one
asks the permanent Acknowledgement of
any class of people at the south, but sim
ply That those, who byItheir position and
education. con trolled the southern masses
aud led them into rebellion against the
government, and who are responsible for
sll:the precious blood which has been
shed, and the lives which have been sacri-
heed, shall not be permitted to regain their
former political power until they indicate
oy their action a Willingness to acquiesce
in7the principles which pledge to all men
equality before the law, and ample protec
ft'on 10 the enjoyment of all the rights
which belong to men and citizens. Early
restoration to all forfeited privileges is
within their grasp. Let them, embittered
20 longer by sectional rancor and defeated
partizsnship, join hands with the people
OF the north in redeeming the nations
pledges, and in placing the Repu bic upon
basis of justice and right which shall
endure through the coming ages, and gladly
I will all extend 10 them Inc hand of friend
] y, hearty welcome. Strong ia The con
4 seriousness Of being right, and in ihe full
faith that ultimately the right mustssnd
will prevail, united by an honest devotion
to the best interests Of the entire country
I and uofaltering 10 the holy determination
to hand down TO postsrity without stain,
and stronger than ever before, the govern
ment which the Fathers gave them, the
Union men Of this land, North and South,
will stand firm and undismayed until the
great work is done, and harmony reigns
once more throughout our whole domain.

milan and Queen Maria of Naples to the
ranks royalty. The death of John. A.
Andrew leaves a void In the ranks OF

q Walworth the stage the names of Persiana

The city Of New York has been
under Democratic rule from time imme-
moral. The present Mayor, Hon. j. L.
!. Fl Gilman has just laid his second inaugu-
raj message before the Common Council
of that municipality, and from that docu-
ment it appears that the debt of New
York city is about s44 900, 900, and that
Fit is increasing at the rate of five millions
per annum! Yet the Chicago Times has
the effrontery to claim that if the same
, party had control of The national finances,
retrenchment would be the result; but
the people will justly conclude that, as
the municipal finances of the city which
, has longest been under Democratic sway
are in worse condition than those Of any
!, other city in the country, the Democracy
are an expensive vice. IL XII r.a v.a.e.r
