A Northern exchange thus COM
mcnts on the recent conviction Of
Hon. G. G. Bowen, lately reprcsc Mt
ing the Republican party of South
Carolina in tue halls Of Congress
A stranger, whose knowledge of
our politics was confined to such in
formation as might be CLEANED from
Republican papers, would naturally
infer that the Hon. Mr.. Bowen is a
secessionist," "rebel," and disloy.
alist." He would not dream that he
belonged to the party Of "great moral
ideas" and was a worthy and by no

He differs only in the character of
some of bis vices, and that very little,

this he has the advantage of the rank
and file. And yet, it is for the ex
press purpose of keeping just such
men in power at the South, and
through them controlling the cleo
tions, that the legislation of Congress
has be eh shaped. 1t is for this pur-.
pose that the President Of the United
States has been armed with the pow
er of. sbnang The military forces of
the United States into the South.
