raise the cry of persecuted innocence,
but the persecution did not come as they
expected and they had to be content with
the innocence without the persecution.

Gov. Dennison's message is based on this pro-
clamaton, but it Is not, unfortunately, confined
to the subject matter of it. The President calls
for troops under the law of 1895 to suppress and
put down combinations in certain States therein
named, which are too powerful to be suppressed
by the ordinary course OF judicial proceedings or
by the powers vested in the inarshals. The
Governors message is not simply responsive 10
this proclamation. That functionary scars away
into the slavery question, and but too plainly
shows that the ruling passion in his mind is to
enter into the irrepressible conflict between
" freedom and slavery" That is what the
"irrepressibles" desire. They would not give
straw to cOnfine the action of the volunteer
militia TO the mere duties and objects for which
troops may be raised and used by the President
under the law of 1895. The Cincinnati Com
mercial and the Cincinnati Gazette rebuke the
Governor for what they charge to be digre'sion
on his part, and endeavor to disayow the slavery
part of his message; but these papers are simply
acting the politician in this matter, while the
Governor gives out his sincere utterAnce, horrible
and terrible in import though they be. And the
Ohio State journal, of this morning. inspired
with the same sentiment which actuatel the
Governor, declares that 1.-The issue il unmistaka-

A GooD IDEA.-Thc Governor of New
Jersey has sent commissioner to visit
all the Jersey regiments at the seat of war
and prevail upon the men to send their money
home. His plan, which meets with success,
is to have the Chaplains 60 around few days
before pay day, and get the men to say what
amount shall 60, and then be on hand to get
the money from the Paymaster. The whole
amount is then sent to the Governor, and the
mems orders on him are paid wherever the
men reside. This furnishes the men with
safe express, free of charge. This is most
excellent plan, and should be followed by ev-
cry State. Under present circumstances it is
difficult for such as are disposed to send their
spare wages home, on account Of the distance
and the absence of safe means of transmitting
the gold with which they are paid Such an
arrangement es that mentioned above would
not onl y obviate these difficulties, but by it
those who are careless in their expenditures
might be induced to save money which is now
squandered in various ways, and send it home
either for safe deposit Or for the benefit of
their families.

WHAT THE SOUTH ARE FIGHTING FOR
Southern men Of course arc good judges in
regard to their own intentions and institution.
The New Orleans Advocate uses the follow
ing language in regard to the Methodist
Church, South:


One of the principal elements of the
great pro-slavery movement is friendship for
the negroes Southern people feel profound.
ly assured that they are fighting for the only
rights, the only comfortable life, and the only
true social and political seatus the negro can
ever have. They feel that they are fighting
for the only true Christian civilization the
African can ever enjoy, either in this or any
other country. Slavery is rapidly coming to
be regarded as a providentia system of Afri-
can civilization. 1t has long since come to
be regarded as a power in general civiliza-
tion now, the idea of the present and eter.
nal welfare Of the African is involved in its
defence. Southern men defend Slavery, now,
upon the Same principle and with the same
spirit as they do their religion, their homes
their wives and children, their personal honor
and independence"

DR.. ELL1oTr.-This veteran editor of the
religious press is doing battle valiantly for
the cause Of the Union in Missouri. He
will be found more than match for all the
trai'orous conductors Of the religious press
in the South. In the last Central Advocate
he says:


The war of liberty is being fought in
earnest in the West, and the battle-grouuds
are red with the blood OF the slain. None
but know Of the tragedy in Missouri. We
mourn our slain Lyon, and in a thousand
homes the wall OF sorrow is heard. The
South is bringing up into our borders war,
with its horrors, rapine, pillage fire, and
slaug ghter. Famine and pestilence will soon
follow unless the west rallies to our aid. The
South has commenced this atrocious and un.
natural crusade against human rights, and
backed by all her legions will push it to the
bitter end. Let the North and West awake
from the dream of fancied security, and gaze
at the peril to their homes and altars. The
South has ruled you for thirty years, and
now would subdus you. The toe is at your
doors-active, armed, unsparing. Awake!
awake awake! Men of the West, from
the Lakes to the Pacific, arm Arise in YOUR

your shores.
