deut; had it been originally composed in a


Northern'land, it is probable that the King


would have been represented as dethroned by


bribes obtained from his own treasury


There was once wise Emperor who made


law, that to every stranger who came to his


court a fried fish should be served The SER
wants we're directed to take notice, if, when the


stranger had eaten the fish to the bone on one
side, he turned,it over and began on the other
side. If he did, he was to be Immediately
seized, and on the third day thereafter he was
to be put to death. But, by great stretch of
imperial clemency, the .culprt was permitted
to utter one wish each day, which the Emperor
pledged himself to grant, provided it was not
to spare his life. Many had already pershed
in consequence oflhis edict, when one day, a
count and his young son presented themselves
at the court The fish was served as usual,
and when the count had removed all the fish
from one side, he turned it over and was
about to commence on the other, when he was
suddenly seized and thrown into prison, and
was told of his approaching DOOM Sorrow
stricken, the counts young son besought the
Emperor to allow him to die in the room of
his f,ther'; o favor which the monarch was
pleased to accord him. The count was accord
ingly released from prison, and his son was
thrown into his cell in his stead. AS soon as
this had been done, the young man said to his
Jailer /" You know have the right to make
three demands before ]. die; go and tell the
Emperor to send me his daughter, and priest
to marry u.s." This first demand was not
much to the Emperors taste, nevertheless he
felt bound to keep his word, and he therefore
complied with the request, to whichthe prin-
cess had no kind of objection. This occurred
in the times when kings kept their treasures
in cave, or in tower set apart for the pur-
pose, like the Emperor of Morocco in these
days; and on the second day of his imprison-
ment, the young man demanded the king 5
treasures. If his first demand was bold one

We are glad to notice, that, on the


Union county and district tickets al


ready formed in this State, the


claims of the soldiers are Justly re-


cognized, by the nomination of men


who have rendered efficient service
on the field of battle. To be consis-
tent with their past course, the Union
men OF Ohio must practice recogni-
ton in their county IS well as their
State nominations. During the war,
the soldier had no friends at home.
IN a political sense, save those who
stood by the Government. The
copperheads opposed the extension
OF the elective franchise to the Amer
lean soldier, as q means of disgracs
ing him before the nations of the
world; the same party sought to iIle-
galize the laws necessary to raise
money to meet the bounties which
were paid to the soldier and the re-
lief which was extended to his fami-
ly. All these measures were sup
ported and carried by the Union men.
and 1t is now consistent that the
same party should seek to confer
honoFs on the soldiers who have
survived the horrors of the war
The men who were willing to peril
life and limb in defence of great
and pure Government, are worthy
OF the highest honorS of q free peo-

There are two classes of people
who hate the great Union party
These classes have been hiIhertC
identified without difficulty, and even
now no one need be in doubt as tc
who belongs to them. They are:


l. The Copperheads of the North


2. The conquered rebels of the
South


These classes were one, during the
war, in opposition to its prosecution
for the salvation of tn. Republic
and they are one still in an inimical
hatred of the party which prosecuted
the war till the rebellion was crushed,
the nation saved, tho rebels humilia-
ted, and the Copperheads driven to
their dens.


During the war the Copperheads
constantly Kissed in our faces, "the
South cannot be conquered" and
now, after nearly two-thirds of all
the able-bodied rebels have been
placed kors du combat forevermore,
and the miserable wrecks OF their
armies are disbanded, these North
ern foes to the flag are insisting that
the rebels are still unconquered, and
the Union can only ba saved by
compromise and concessionl OF
course the rebels of the South would
be glad to get compromise and con
cession; would be glad to see the

The Chicago Republican says ID has mo
doubt that at its next session Congress
will propose as an amendment to the
Constitution provision establishing, as
the uniform qualification of voters for
Federal officers, an ability to read the
Constitution and record his name on the
part Of every man who is to exercise
the privilege Of voter.


Thus believing, it urges the States re-
constructing their fundamental law, to
anticipate that action and gracefully do,
of their own motion, that which they
must do hereafter. It urges them ito
accept the inevitable decree against
class privileges, and to adopt as the
qualification for suffrage, q provision
admitting to the polls every freeman
who can read the Constitution Of his
country, aud write his name upon his
oath of allegiance, or upon the ballot
which be votes This" il urges, "may
admit some negroes to the ballot, and
exclude some white men; it may exclude
very large portion if not all of the
hitherto slaves; but it is qualification
which is founded upon q correct prinei-
pie, and be applicable to all classes, and
all colors, and is based upon equal and
universal justice"


We do not belisve that Congress will
do anything of the kind. mentioned by
the Republican. We believe, further,
that were it to amend the Constitution
as suggested, the amendment would not
be ratified by the requisite number of
States to make it the Law of the land
Congress, we think, will leave the quail
fication of voters whsrs it now belongs,
to the States. Il has the right, and We
presume will exercise it, to decide upon
the qualification of members of it's own
body. If it is satisfied that members
elect are rebels, or have been elected by
rebels, they will be rejected and not per
mitted to take their seats. If States
persist in electing such, they will be
without representatives and that viii be

Ever since our Democratic friends blundered
at Chicago by declaring that the "war was a

that platform, they had been casting around foI
a new record. We do not pretend to follow
their various shifting changes of policy, but
only to notice the last. Wherever a Democrat
ic Convention meets we are sure to have speech
about the Bond -AristOcrats, and demand that
Government securities shall submit to the tax

riot in New York, although three months had
not passed before those who shouted "Yea Yea, >

There are three points to be observed in re.
ply to all this:


l.. Congress has no more right under the Con
stitutiGn to allow States to tax National Securi
ties vt has to allow them to tax gold and silve
coin, or legal tenders, or Government ships snC
cannon. The Government has the right to levy
war; and raise money without consulting loca
Legislatures. To deny them this right would
be to make the Legislature of any State or the
corporation of any city superior to the National
Legislature.


H. Even if this constitutional restrictian did
not exist we were SO placed when we raised
these loans that money could only be had by
extra inducements. So we offered a large in
terest, and made much of this proviso that the
bonds bore no tax, other than the regular in-
come tax paid by internal revenue. We were
