Congress could bestow, and ont Of that
old stump there grow laurels which will
transmit their fragrsnce to his children
and his children's children.


As to the female sex, it Was quite un-
accessory for the President to exhort
them, in one of his speeches, to prefer an
armless sleeve to one which has never
been used in battle. That sex has too
accurate an instinct Of what constitutes
man to need any counsel on that point.
The MANNED body is an evidence to them
Of an unnamed soul, Of = heroism and
unselfshness that can make man with
one arm better protector and more
genial friend through life than many men
who are all arms and legs. "A half of q
man, who has lost his other half in bat
tie, is. entitled to \ better half in the
shape of wife and he will get it against
all rivals. Even if he is . candidate for
office, he will run better on one leg than
other men on two. No one but soldiers
need expect to have any choice hereafter
either in politics or love. A grey coat
is the symbol Of all that is noble in the
human heart, and whenever it makes its
appearance, the best black broadcloth
will be left in the cold. When Grey
Coat, with or without arms or legs, sum.
mons female fortress, after the war,
the Union flag will be displayed for the
first time, and con6scation, subjugation,
unconditional submission, be granted
without q murmur.


Even in the dcplorable event of the
conquest of their country, the soldiers
Of the Confederacy can still stand erect,
and, if they lose all else, will never lose
their honor. Their bodies may ache
with wounds, and their hearts bleed with
sorrow, but no sting Of sclf-reproach can
ever touch those manly bososns. They
have done their duty; all that man
could do they have done; and II, borne
down by overwhelming odds, they fall,
it will be with their back to the field
and their face to the foe. Most of these
soldiers are. young men, and if they
cannot have a country here. will find
one in another cline, where they can
walk the earth as freemen.. But no such
alternative will ever be presented to them
If it be the will of Heaven to bless and pros.
per the noblest band of heroes that ever
walked the earth, and the most lofty
and unselfsh loyalty to principle that,
since the days of the martyrs, has glo-
rified mankind.

TIE Ice SwnpIL.-The ice dealers have
combined to raise the price of ice the present
season to twenty dollars the ton for families
and ten dollars for the butchers and market
men. This is about double what was paid the
last year, although last winters crop was really
tremendous, and the stock secured is larger
than at any former period in the history of ice.
When gold has fallen from two hundred and
eighty-Gve to one hundred and forty-six we see
ne reason why frozen water should rise one
hundred per cent ON former high prices. The
public must unite TO refuse ice for the next
month or two to put down this swindle. Let
the ice melt On their hands. We call upon the
dealers Of Boston and Portland to step in with
a supply and teach our monopolis.s with icy
hearts wholesome and much wanted lesson.

mtegral parH ol the nation, but that certain
portions Of their population were In insurrec-
ton against the laws. The war, in this View,
was simply the employment of the national
power to enforce order within our own limits
Except upon this view Of the case the war
could not have been carried on. The people
laid down their lives and lavishly contributed
their wealth for the Union, not to subjugate
neighboring States. Except upon this theory
our war would be the unholy and unjust one
that Southern men have always declared it to
be; and this theory tho people must and will
carry out to the end If they are disposed to
listen to those who teach them justice and
truth, rather than to those who speak from the
dictates of fanatical hatred and revenge. Upon
the whole theory Of our people throughout the
war the old States are now actually in the
Union, and the real residents of those States
are entitled 10 their constitutional rights, sub
ject to the modifcatons-as In relation to
slavery-that the national legislature has
made. Necessarily they are smaller States
than they were in respect to population; and
they may, like Louisiana, run down to twelve
thousand men. But certainly that does not in
validate their status as States. IF pestilence,
famine or any other scourge should reduce the
population of Rhode Island to only enough
cease on that account to be sovereign State.
We must take the population as it is-take
the egg as we find 1t, and have the fowl when it
comes. Our only proper policy is to leave the
States alone to the utmost possible extent


Mr. Lincoln carried on the war in obedience
to his oath of Office to sustain the laws. His
business is with the violators of the law person
ally. There is no power anywhere to obliterate
State lines. We denied the power of any single
State to destroy the Union by secession;- we
must also deny the power of the body of States
to destroy the Union by the obliteration of any
one State. If we should adops the radical view,
that the Southern States are so far foreign
States that they now stand to US in the light Of
conquered territory, then we justify the acts of
the people of those,States, and there is no one
to punish; for if they are not subjects they
cannot be traitors. But if the States are and
always have been parts of this nation, then
there are many of their citizens now guilty of





these the radicals would pursue the bitter policy
followed by governments from time imme-
mortal, and mete out slaughter and con6scation
to the utmost limit. We do not believe thatthe
dignity and power of our government require
to be asserted In that way; nor does it seem
that the numberless executions for treason that
are chronicled in the history Of all governments
but our own ever prevented the attempts of
traitors. We believe that every single man
may safely be left to his own bitter disappoint-
ments and miseries as his ssverest punishment;
and we are certain that by pursuing such
course our government would set a magnani-
nous and worthy example to the governments
Of the future.

The speech made by the President on the
occasion of q celebration In Washington Of the
great Victories Is an excellent one. Though
characterized In some quarters % "reserved,n
II is the most outspoken utterance Of an out
spoken man. II accords in o proper and
generous spirit The full and whole need Of
praise for our victories TO those justly entitled
to it--"General Grant, his skilful officers and
brave men"-and II takes hold Of the important
question Of reconstruction with characteristics

question to be fairly met and fully weighed by
the people. Practical common sense ID the
political philosophy Of this nation, and Mr..
Lincoln, the exponent Of that philosophy,

dent Of the American people, and not Of

States the only platform that great and en-
lightened people can ever be satisfied to stand
upon.


At the commencement Of this war two widely
different views were taken Of the status In II Of
the Southern States. One was the view Of the
people Of this country; the other the view Of
our enemies. Our enemies maintained that the
Southern States had gone out Of the Union.

TIE statement that President johnson

The remarks of Gen. Cox, on this topic,
at the Oberlin meeting, though not fully up
to the standard of the Radical men who lis
tened to him, will command respect from
all tor their candor and evident sincerity,
Whilst Gen. Cox may frankly express his
Individual sentiments upon this question, it
must be borne in mind that he does not re-
gard his theory as ''a tinality," but prefers
to wait the development of events. The
experiment of reconstruction, now being
tested in the Southern States, and the tlog-
ic of events" will, in his opinion, modify
the various viewsrno entertained, and
tend to erystalize public sentiment upon
some practicable plan for the solution of
the problem. Upon the subject OF ourduty
to guarantee to the colored race the highest
civilization it is capable of enjoying, Gen..
Cox does not differ with the most radical.
1t is only as to the manner ofsecuring that
end that he is compelled to differ with his

cordially upon that account. His reply to

This gentleman received the unanimous
nomination of the Democratic State Con-
venton which assembled yesterday in Co
lumbus, for the Governorship of Ohio.


A better nomination, in view of all the
circumstances which surround us, could not
have been made. General Morgan is yet
a young man, hut has been placed in vari7
GUS places of important trust. He is one
among the few General officers ofthe recent
war, who has preserved intact his Demo-
cratic principles, and who has adhered,
throughout, to the spirit and sentiment OF
the celebrated Crittenden Resolution,
which defined, at the commencement of
the contest, the true and Legitimate pur-
pose for which it Should be waged.
He has given his hearty Endorsement,
without equivocation, to, the princi-
pies enunciated in the excellent plat
form adopted by the Convention, and which
may be pointed to with just pride as the
time-honored creed of a tilne-honored par
ty. In that platform, and in General Nor
gan's approval of it, there is no "paltering in
double sense" The people can all under
stand precisely where General Morgan and
the Democracy stand in this political con-
test. We are opposed to o'Negro Suffrage
in favor of the immediate restoration of the
States to the exercise OF their Constitution
al functions in the Union-in favor of the
taxation of United States bonds-against
Negro Suffrage and pauperism in Ohio, and
in favor of the repeal of the odious military
tax to keep up useless and expensive mil.
itary organization among us. W .'
