the BURIAL or the Booth Remains.

The Burial OF the BOOM Bemh1ns.
Rev. Fleming James, late of st. Luke's
Hospital, New York, has given great ef-
fense to his Northern friends by officiat-
ing at the re-interment of the remains OF
John Wilkes and other members of the
Booth family at Greenmount Cemetery,
Baltimore, a week ago. Mr.. James has
felt himself obliged to resign from the
hospital in consequences of the hostile
sentiment evoked by his act as will be
seen by the following card, which he
has caused to be published in the New
York papers: loswt 5oa1n lan
"a CARD.-Finding that my officiating
at the re-interment of the remains of j.
Wilkes Booth, as reported in the public
prints, has given great offense to the su-
thorities and others of st. Luke's Hos
pital, in which have been assistant to
the pastor, beg publicly to offer few
words of explanation. g.. r. sH
"I happened to be in Baltimore, and
was at the house of brother clergyman,
when he was suddenly called upon to
read the burial service on the above
named occasion. As be was just goirg
out of town, he requested me to do it for
him. consented, having but few me-
ments for reflection, and seeing no good
reason for refusing. Had / imagined
that my action would have been followed
by such unpleasant consequences here. /

to the hospital rather than to a strange
parish. | regret did not forsee this,
and will only add that my Southern feel

the time. / need scarcely say that have
no sympathy with the assassination of
which the deceased was guilty. | leave
the hospital with the best wishes for its
continued prosperity, and with the satis-
faction of knowing, as the venerable pas
tor allows me to say, that my services
have been acceptable, and that enjoyed
the affectionate esteem of the household.

In professedly Christian hospital we
might expect to look for Christian char
ity. But those who control the above in
seem incapable Of such virtue,
even to the dead. Who ever before heard
of clergyman being punished for per-
forming Christian burial for the greatest
of criminals. We had supposed New

The Summer Campaign I'm virginia.

In looking over our exchanges we find
that there is large tide of travel toward
the White Sulphur Springs. Numbers of
Southern fasbionables will summer it
there. Private letters from New Or
leans, Savannah and elsewhere, mention
many famous bellies who will make their
campaign on Virginia soil. Chief JUS
lice Chase has taken cottage at the
White Sulphur. Lee and Beauregard
are to go there sometime during the sea-
son. Mrs. Senator Sprague, il is said,
will also be there to make presidential
hay for her father, the Chief Justice,
among the representative Southern and
Western men who will flock thither. A
royal time is anticipated by the worn-out
effete Virginians, as copperas-trowsered
demagogues are wont to denominate the
Old Dominion folks.

To add to the bitterness Of his chagrin,
the poor man discovered, short distance
away, dirty Indian warrior, squatted on
the ground, tearing his handsome silk

of labour, liberty OF property, liberty of
the press, the right of reunion and the
right of petition, security asainstJhe re-
responsiveness of penal laws, gratnitous
administration of justice by irremoveable
magistrates paid by the State, the respon-
sibiIity of the latter and of all other agents
of the Executive power and the right of
every citizen not to be Judged ahd con-
demned without a %scrupulous and full
defence.
After a sanguinary struggle and after
the celebration of your triumph by for
hearance, mercy, and clemency, he not
begulitd into fatal notions of ambition.
Remember that Washington after victory
changed the sword for the plough, and
that he always preferred the field of la
bour fertilised in the sweat of his face
and smiling with blossoms, fruits and
grains, to the treacherous battle field and
tratrlcidaI warfare. When you have
reached the phase of reorganization, con-
slider we'll, without presumption and pas
sion, and examine whether you are able
to secure complete independence and to
take a powerful position among the COM
munity of nations whether you can with
a strong hand stiie the elements of dis
cord and have sufficient experience and
virtue to know and feel that the respect
for the law is the main foundation of civil
order, and that the citizen is bound at all
hazard, and for ever, to sacrifice his per-
sonal interest on the altar of patriotism.
IF you feel yourselves strong, intelligent
and good, delay not to form with calm re-.
Election, Institutions consecrated to IL
berty as pointed out, but if you are def
cient of those eminent qualities and you
will not suffer the calamity of a constant
civil war, ~retrace yonr steps; save your
selves throw yourselves into the arms of
the great American nation, and learn from
them the noble principles of labour and
the austere life of liberty.
Fix your fall attention upon the agitat-
ed Southern Republics upon the African
lied islands of the West Indies and upon
the almost complete extinction of your
race. These terrible lessons of history
ought to serve you as a guide never to
forget the primeval principles Of your
s%autonomy, and to impress upon you that
there is no peace without labour, no or
der without peace, no law without order,
and that there is no society without law
that is not doomed to perdict on.
To resist the enticements of ambition
you must steel your hearts against every
mean idea of social appearance you must
despise popularity beware yourselves
from the batteries of improvised fortunes
and follow no impulse but that of duty.
The men called TO ~reorganize the country
and to establish the Sacred principles Of
liberty must be above mean consideration

deplorabIe remains of thrones, of privi-
legged classes and of the clergy that have
no country. 1t ought to, be stifled wher-
ever it raises its head it is a seed that
produces only weeds, or tree that breeds
fruits of malediction, a poisoned fountain
giving death in lieu of refreshment. Be
indulgent, | repeat it to those men both
unhappy and ungrateful but be in1ex-
ibIe not only to the Cu6ans that perse-
cute you and obstruct your way but also
to the Indifferent. the passive who will
not join you in the triple sacrifice OF your
lives, your estates and your kindred.
From their cowardly and shameful con-
duct consider them no longer Cubans,
but enemies Of your country !; vile ego
fists who will atone for their treason.
Which ever your situation may be con-
querror or conquered, you will always
find them hypocrites, in power, fatterers
of the ruling power that understands and
despIses them as contemptlble-conser-
%vatlves who see everything under the
pitifuI prism of their ourselves. Be in-
flexible to them, for each drop of your
blood is superior to their whole exist
ence, their property and all their wretch
ed aspirations.
If yours be the triumph as | hope, and
if you enter into that second stage of ex-
p%ausion and glory, defIe not your cause
with the blood of the vanquished foe, but
rather tender them a brotherly hand, and
place them next 10 you at the splendid
banquet of your hopes. Tell them that

Of nationality is inspired by the demon Of
tyranny 10 divide and c%onfine men to the
iron boundaries of our insignificant terri
tory. Tell them that mems country is
the universe, that labour is their bitter
inheritance and that the only feeling, the
only idea, the only laws to which they
are subject is the feeling of universal CON
fraternity, the fertile idea of one coopera-
tive association, and ultimately, the in
vulable principle of justice. If, never
~theless, they reject your friendly hand
and refuse to share and eat with you the
bread of your hopes, if they desire to
leave your beautiful country and to cross
the Atlantic to set their foot again upon
the shores whence they came, press the
parting kiss of peace upon their lips. and
tell them that if the old world is the land
of traditions and privileges, and the obse-
quious defender of theocracy and thrones
and, consequently, the declared enemy of
social guarantees, young America is the

type of humanity. "Liberty has impre-
scriptlble claims upon all citizens some
owe to it their industry others their for
tune others their arms and all the blood
circulating thro' their veins. No Cuban
will show himself deaf TO the war cry
uttered by the country all his physical
and moral strength, all means Of action
all his wealth, all elements of power
are tributary to the country. Whoever
swerves from that right way, or is OPP
posed to it or desists from pushing di-
rectly the movement now going on is a
traitor to the common cause, and a par
ricidet of liberty.
The absolute necessity of not longer
permitting the island to be yoked to the
car of an abominaAle despotism, not long
er to allow your children to be dishonour-
ed, is imposed upon every Cuban. In
fact the lahourer and the merchant the
advocate and the artisan, the poor and
the rich, the nobIeman and The commoner,
the white and the blackman, the civilian
and the military-all must join in a COM
bined effort to raise courageouSiy the
corner stone of the noble building Of your
regeneration. Men and m young
and old, the country calls upon you all,
in the name of Freedom: all of you must
consecrate your services to the revolu.
ton, the symbol of it!
To discomfort all opposing influences,
to divert all unfortunate condolences
that burden you, to expel the deSpotS
who Cypress and torment you, and servile
Instruments of a government stained by
crimes and depredations, exhaust all foun-
tains Of production. No reaction can be
sufficiently strong, no initiative sufficient
ly energetic, no measure sufficiently
wholesome in its p%eremptory effects.
To those who accuse you of radicalism,
TO those who throw upon you the re-
proach of betraying liberty under the pre-
tence of serving it, to those who say that
you do not know the respect property,
you can reply that every measures be-
just by its necessity and that ne
cessity arrives whenever the welfare of
the country is at stake.
The first debt you w to your coun-
try ; and if the government has the right
to enact even the sacrifice of property
when necessity commands; what cannot
the country demand when aroused from
his tomb in magnificent and glorious re-
surrection !?
There is no liberty when the enemy
triumphs, aud in order TO enjoy this in
estimable treasure no measure can be too
hard, no coercion unjust and no sacrifice
of the true patriot.

nents who fight you misled by a blind
patriotism. They do not comprehend
