We publish this evening a second speech

we admire, and are willing to hazard the exper-
inent Of reconstruction, as exsmpHfed By Mr.

and those who aet with him can overcome the
Black Republican party, on the question Of war
or peace, we shah have cause 70 rejoice. The
oussion Of reconstruction is an after con-
alteration with him. His position, as we
understand him, is 70 make peace with

: The Copperhead press will insist that
the war is running the country. As an
Offset to this nonsense, we copy the follow
ing from the Scientific American; -


HAs the present war has been and is
being conducted on the soil Of the enemies
of the constitutional Government, indus
try therein has been paralyzed, and the
destruction Of property has been prodi-
gious. The seeded States are, therefore,
necessarily becoming impoverished while
the war is being continued On the other
hand, the Northern States pursue their in
dustrial avocatons in peace, and if they
are living within their income they must
be growing in wealth. Perhaps the best
signs Of increasing wealth in any country
are new buildings-manufact houses,
ships, &c, and a decrease Of mercantile
and mortgage debts. At present all these
good signs may be noticed on every hand
in all the loyal States, except perhaps the
border ones.


In New York there are more new ships
and steamers being built than at any form
eF period within our recollection, and in
almost every street many new houses are
being erected. In Brooklyn the same signs
Of increasing wealth may be seen every
where. In the Eastern States new fac
tories are in the course Of construction in
almost every city, town, and village, and
in New Jersey and Pennsylvania the same
signs Of increasing wealth are Just as plen-
tiful. From the West also, the same cheer
ing news comes floating on the breeze. A
correspondent Of the New York Times
signing himself A Veteran Observer
writing from Ohio, asserts that the debts
in that State were reduced $4,000, 900
last year, aud he is confident that the
wealth Of the country is increasing at the
present moment at the rate Of over six hun
dred millions per nnnum. We have no
doubt but this Intelligent observer is cor
rect in his estimate Never before in the
history of the world has God blessed q na-
} tion with so much outward prosperity in
the midst Of luch a chastisement as this
great civil war


Universal bankruptcy was predicted for
the entire nation by the London Times, at
the beginning Of this contest, but while the
Government borroWs from its own people,
and while they expend less than they pro-
duce. the nation cannot become bankrupt
Europeans generally are profoundly ig-
norant of the source Of our national wealth
and strength. The great essential pfdaily
life to any people is food for man and
beast. and in this essential no other coun-
try, with an equal population, can COM
pare with the United States. The vast
grain crops Of our Western valleys and
plains are Of more value than mountains
of gold and silver. In these consist the
palpable power Of the republic, and no Eu-
ropesns can appreciate the magnitude Of
that power without travelling extensively
in America Our educational establish
ments, the fine arts and manufactures in
general, are sustained by the surplus pro
ducts of the soil. From every section the
cheerful assurance comes up that the crops
Of the season afford promises of most
abundant harvest, thus inspiring hopes Of
. continued material prosperity amid the
havoc and sorrow Of the great national
conflict

GEN. MCLELLAN'S OFFICIAL REPORT.


The official report Of Gen. Mcclellan waS
received at the Adjutant Generals Office about month

documents nearly three times as much more paper

We invite tho special attention Of our
readers 10 the address Of the National
League Of New York, which will / e found

of the most ably written and eloquent
papers published since the beginning ol

civil and religious Ib,ry of mankind
depend greatly upon the issue Of the pres
cu. struggle, but also to great exen'
tie material prosperity Of the world
There ore. there is TOO much involved in
the issue Of the war, to allow the cause
of the Uuion to lail. The very thought
of failure makes the heart of the patrio
sick. To succeed, the people of the
North must ba united, and for the pur
pose Of uu'ing them, the National Leagu
is formed, 10 the language Of the Ad
dress:


"The G ID of battle is not the onl,
field OIL which the merits of this wa
must bo decided. The lorum and III
hearth stone are scenes Of NO l. IS mo
mtntpus rontesl."


"The struggle is for the possession Q
The natjHpal mind, as well as of the ma
tioual arm. Truth and error are con
tending for the mastery"


The struggle al home, then, is no les
important than the struggle in the FIELD
We must possess the national mind an
be abie to turn it, like tremendous bat
terry, against the rebellion before it can b
crushed.

Under the above caption, the La
Crosse Republican talks thus truly:


Western Wisconsin, which is Repub-
lican to the back bone, and saves the
State from Democratic rule, has not
been represented in either branch of
Congress during the present session.
Both of the Senators reside, when at
home, on the Lake shore. The Con-
gressmen or Representatives elect fir ON
the three eastern Districts Of the State
of Wisconsin, to the next Congress, are
Democrats of the draft-resisting stripe.


Gen. McIndoe goes to W Washington to
represent in the great National Legis-
lature the interests and wishes of one
third of the population Of the state.-


He has the honor of representing a dis
trict in which Uolat7ateers were raised
for the war. He represents the largest,
most populous and loyal district in tie
United States. He represents an in
dustrious, intelligent and thrifty popu-
lation of freemen, who will stand by
their representative in the support Of
every measure which has for its object
the restoration of the Republic from
tie grasp Of traitors to the guidance Of
men who are patriotic and loyal. The
days of long winded speeches have


gone by for a while; and the people
demand at the hands Of their Legisla-
tors less "gab'' and more action. In
Gen. McIndoe the people Of Western
Wisconsin have Representative who,
by business habits and executive abili-
ty, is qualified for a hard worker He
understands the value of time, and the
Importance of devoting it to some good
purpose. The Congressional Globe will
not be freighted with his speeches, but
it will bear the record Of his manly
votes. He brings to the discharge of
his duties the ripe experience of man
who has an extensive political and busi-
ness acquaintance throughout the North
west; the energy and vigor Of a health
full body ana sound mind; the indom-
liable spirit and unconquerable purpose
of the Scotchman, blended with the
enterprise and progression of the olive
man. of the West. Although engaged
in large numbering business on the
Wisconsin River, and not seeking pub
lie office of any kind, he has long ex-
ercised a potent influence in political
circles, while his counsel and aid have
been sought by all men who aspired to
position in the State. The people OF
his District have been fortunate in
placing in Congress such man. Wes-
tern Wisconsin has, in former years,
been represented in Congress by a
staunch and faithful Representative, in
the person Of Gen. Washb urne and
we feel confident that Gen. McIndoe
will command the respect and conf
dence of his loyal associates in Con
gress, as they become acquainted with
his integrity, capacity and soundness.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 22d, 1868.


DEAR JACK :-Writing the above
date is pleasantly suggestive Of the
fact that winter has but few more
days to live. Itwould add to the pleas
ure somewhat if we could be assured
that the legislature would subside with
winter and not persist in " lingering in
the lap of springn' The people have
a right to insist upon one thing at least
that when it does consent to termi-
mate It's career Of usefulness and glory,
the death scene shall be performed but
oncc,-not three times, as was the case
of its tenacious predecessor.


Mr.. Power, of Ozaukee, has intro
duced resolution into the Assembly
for memorial to Congress for the i'm
mediate release of the Ozaullee rioters
The proposition is worthy of SO potent
4 champion of jeff Davis as its author.
Far better would it be, and far more
in accordance with Law, Justice and
Humanity, to open the doors of our
States prison and let similar number
of its most guilty inmates so Free
Your correspondent will allow no one
to surpass him in appreciation Of those
foreigners who come to this country
and become good citizens, gratefully
appreciatlve of the benefits they re-
ccive from our government and devot-
ed to it, and especially of that large
number who are now proving their de-
votion by their sacrifices on the tented
field But the conduct of those of our
foreign-born citizens who, when they
landed on our shores, became suddenly
possessed of privileges which they new
er knew of before, and who secure
homes and an independence for which
they must have labored their whole
lives in vain in their native country,
and then grumble at the smallest sac
rifce which they are called upon to
make for the government which Sc.
cures them these blessings, and who
finally break out in armed resistance to
its officers, grows more infamous by the
contrast.


That these ingrates who insist upon
all the privileges and refuse to bear any
of the burdens of citizenship, should
be punished, is the wish of every trus
citizen, native or foreign-born. Mr.
Powers resolution was very aptly me
by substitute proposed by Mr.. Pope
strongly condemning the proceeding
of the rioters.

any supposed unconstitutional enactment OF


State Legislature, it is the Presidents duty


to sne out from the Supreme Federal Court


a writ of Quo Warranto and Mandamus


Niisii, and cite the State before that court, to


hear and determins the validity of such State


enactment--for example an act of Secession:
This being decided against the State, the
decision recorded and published, and the


President armed with apsrenlptory Mandamrs
against the Seeding State, would have given
him more power to execute the laws than
all his armies, and weakened the power of
the Seeding State, SO as to make resistance
hopeless; for the masses, both North and
South, are law abiding people. As it is,
each party is stimulated by facticus leaders
aiming at the same thing, the dissolution of
the Union, and the interference of the
Federal Court would have been damper on
each. 80 @


In this controversy. Kentucky once de-
clared herself neutral. She ought to have
remained SO. She should return to her
neutral position, by convening her legisla-
ture and passing resolution to that effect,
and another citing the President of the
United States and all the Seeded States
before the Supreme Federal Court, to hear
and determine, judicially, the matters in
controversy. In this way the Union may
yet be saved. 1t will save billions of trea-
sure and hundreds of thousands of lives to
the nation, and at an earlier period might
have saved what Is already lost by war, a
war that will never save the Union, no
never. saN- PAX.

OJThere is kind of conservatism which
we can't understand. We mean that which
violently protests against the destruction of
the writ of habeas corpus, and yet prociaims
that martial law m ust still be maintained
everywhere in kentucky; that declaims
about the freedom of the press, but insinu-
ates that some papers ought to be stoPpcd;
that favors the freedom of elections, but as
sumes to be the sole judge of the loyalty OF
candidates; that is devoted to the protection
of State Institutions, and yet says If the ne
gro comes between it and the Government,
the negro must go down; that says to arm
the slaves is SO atrocious crime that officers
ought to surrender their swords rather than
carry it ont, and yet is for voting money,
knowing it is to be used for that purpose.
In short, we cannot understand q species OF
conservatism which, in all its words, is for
the Constitution and humanity. but IN all
its acts is side by side with the ultra radical
of the blackest and bloodiest school.-Loa.

his eyes for some days. A skfu physician applied
nitrate of silver and other remedies, without any
