A PATRIOTIC NoRTHENER.

Mr. Tarbox. one Of the Democratic
members Of Congress from Massachu-
sets. had this TO say in response to one
Of the Radical members, who was hold =.
ing up the bloody shirt on the am
nesiy question
Mr. Speaker, I had wished to speak
in this debate. in order that the old
State Of Massachusetts,. front Of the
foremost to enter the field for the In
ion, should not fail to utter hero her
aspiration for universal amnesty TO
fevcry son Of America. But, sir. after
that message Of Massachusetts had been
spoken to this House and to the cuun-
try so eloquenily. 50 justly, by my dis
tinsuished colleague. Me- Banks. it
would have been my pleasure to have
kept silent. Why. sir. he has sent
back to their internal abode. rebukel,
the gauut and CORY spectets which the
gentleman from Maine, like some ma.
gician Of the black art, with devilish
incarnation, had called up here from
the political inferno to mar the fair form
Of the festal cheer OF the Republic.
Only a few months ago q scene
transpircd 10 the streets of Boston which
was us potent in its spell upon the cou.
science and heart of Massachusetts, us
was the light that shone upon Saul in
his journey to Damascus. On tho 18th

old Commonwealth. with the soldiers
Of Massachusetts. to the patriot Shr inc
Of Bunker Hill, and there. under the
shadow Of that shaft which lifts its head
to heaven, they consscra,cd anew the
Union of the Republic. TApplausol
And by the side, sir, Of the palmetto
tree which the soldiers of South Caro-.
lima brought from its native soil and
planted beside the pine, on that sacred
spot. an cmblem Of reunion, the people
of the North struck hands with the PEG.
pie of the South in pledge of eternal
amity. and declared on that altar sacred
to u common glory that not alone from
the statute book of tho nation. but
equally from the hearts Of the people.
should be RACED forever all memorials Of
our unhappy feud.
That. sir. is The voice Of Massachu.
sets to-day. We come here to make
offer Of no partial amnesty, that shall
spoil the grace and the nobility Of it.
but amnesty full, complete, universal.

The Re-Apportionment Of Reprcscn-
tatiOn.

Tho Wheeling htelligeacer, with
characteristic seIf$hncss, finds fault
with the rc.uPportionment of represent
ta:iou suggested in the last issue Of
The DEMoCHAT for the reason that
the new deal" would not give to the
county Of Ohio six delegates, instead
OF four; and for the further reason that
the present appOrtioument suits that
paper very well. These reasons may
be entirely satisfactory n the MteM.
gencer, bu. are decidedly unsatistucto-
ry to tho "back counties (so.called)
that have already suffered too long by
the odious discrimination imposed up.
on them by those counties heretofore
more favored by legislation and fortu.
itous circumstances.
Notwithstanding the impeachment
humbug and other follies upon the
part Of the representatives Of the peo-
pie, the State Of West Virginia is not
located in the MtelIigeHcer Office !;
aud better reasons than the mere lis
approval Of that paper must be afford.

owe no apologies to tyrants. And
while We are ready to make every sac
rifcc for the Union, even secession,
however defeated aud humbled, will
confess no sin to fauaticism, however
bigoted and exacting.
Yet. while we make to you no con-
ccsson, we come even to you in no
spirit Of revenge. We would multiply
blessings in common for you and for
us. We have one ambition, and that
is to add our political power to the pa.
triotio Union men Of the North in Or
der to compel fanaticism to obey the
law and live in the Union according TO
the Constitution. We do not propose
to compel you by oaths. for you who
breed strife only to get Office and pow
er will not keep oaths.
Sir, We did the Union one great
wrong. The Union never wrOngci

the Union one great wrong; and We
come, as faras We can, to repair it.

WE MUST DO SOMETHING.
A New View OF the Impeachment
Cases,

Many years ago. when Judge Brock.
cnbrough was appointed Judge Of the
Federal Court for the Western Dis
trict Of Virginia, he started across the
mountains, from Stnun'on. accumpa.
MED by several gentlemen, 10 hold his
FIRST Court at Clarksburg. In those
days. a trip to Federal Court, as a
grand or petit juror, was looked upon
as we now regard a pleasure tour to
Long Branch or Cape May. Nothing
much was done, or expected to be done.
excep, that all concerned shoSld "havc
good time" In tho party we have
named was an eminent lawyer Of this
place. who had just returned from law
school at Stnunton. lie was sum.
moncd as q grand juror; and nr ten
or twelve days the jury sa, and sat, a
few hours day. doing their very hes,
10 ascertain the most correct mode Of
chow not to do it"
At last, however, the Court became
impatient. and it was announced by
the foreman that something must be
done Boys said he, "re must do
something. Tho Judge is mad about
it; and the people expect US to indie,
somebody" In this dilemma, it was
discovered that an aged individual re-
siding near Clarksburg, named Bill
-, contrary to the peace and dignity
Of the United States of America. had
passed q counterfeit ten cent piece
The rule is, that the law has nothing
to do with small things; but The jury,
rccogizing the fact that something must
be done. imm ediately indicted tho poor
old fellow aforesaid. returned into
Court with true bill; ami after re-
cciving their per diem and mileage in
gold. were discharged.
We repeat this anecdotc as an illus.
tration Of the position Of the House Of
Delegates. They assembled as grand
inquest their per diem und mileage
was assured; they were expected to
indict somebody-"re must do some.
Min3"-was their cry; and like the
grand jury We have mentioned, finding
that not even ten cent piece of the
State funds had been stolen or misap.
piled, they indicted the Auditor aud
Treasurer for "moral 'urpiiude."
1t is TO be hoped. however. that the
Senate, sitting us tiga C2rrt, will
put quietus forever upon such ridicu-
lous presidents as that set by our late
House Of Delegates, or by the Federal
Grand Jury to which we have referred

The intelligent Republican voters
living along these great lines Of travel
will appreciate tho efforts of the
Wheeling Iatcl'igcncer to kill the ap.
preparation. In fact, according to the
InteIiigeacer. it would he a crime in n
Democratic Congressman to secure
anything for the benefit Of his people
it might operate disastrously to future
Republican uspirants for Congressional
honors. True, everything we have
c"cr obtained in this State from the Gen
eral Government has been secured by
the efforts Of our Democratic members;
nnl this fact, 10 the A'ciiigcncer. IS
distressing in the extreme. Hence
We arc constantly reading in that lin.
partial" journal such items as the fol-
lowing:
Colonel Ben Wilson has introduced hill
into Congress 10 indemnify the State of Vest
Virginia for the damage done by the United
States to pike between FAirmonl and Guu.
ley Bridge by hauling munitions Of war and
matchicg soldiers over Is. The modest sum
OF $500, 600 is asked by the Colonel. No'h.
ing Is said Ia the bill about an indemnity
from Jones and his Democratic raiders for
damage done along the same route, the time
they came 10 FAirmont and Morgantown and
burned libraries and did SO much other
devilmeni. Should such road bill as that
pass Congress tue President would be apt "
serve II us Governor Jacob did the two or
three road and bridge bills that came before
him the other day. But Colonel Ben has no
idea that il will pass. lie Is simply making
political bnncombe for himself, Ia DAVIS,

Nov, the reconstruction Of these
