ton to the Union"


Wade's party, by his own confession
on the floor of Congress, adopted, as
the basis of its platform, what he now
calls the ''intamous doctrine of nullif>
cation and secession" Not only did
Wade acknowledge that to be the doc
trine of his party, but he gave his per-
sonal views on coercion. lie said:


"You can not forcibly hold men in
this Union; for the attempt to do so,
it seems to me, would subvert the first
principles of the Government under
which we live


After reading these views, who will
hesitate to say that Wade himself is
as much a Secessionist as jeff Davis?


We have placed in ''small caps GER
tain portions of his speech to call spe-
cial attention to them. He told the
people of the South they had the right
tosecede, and set up government for
themselves, whenever they thought
they could not feel secure under the u
Mon; and that he would not blame them
for seeding, whenever they thought
such contingency had come; and
that under similar circum stancesin re-
gard to his own section, they would not
find him backward in being the ADvo-
CATE OF DIsvNroN! Now, having done
as much as any living man to drive
the people of the South into disunion,
he is the most foul-mouthcd and violent
in denouncing them for following his
advice, for doing what he said they
had a right to do, and which he said
he himself would advocate the doing of
under like circumstances. A modest
and fair-minded man would suppose
that Wade would be very charitable
toward the people of the South, and
altogether silent in reference to their
conduct; but not so Wade himself.
The fact that he counseled the people
Of the South to do what they have
done, instead of weakening the natural
bitterness OF his temper, and mollify-
ing his nourished hate of the people
of the South, has increased the
strength of both; and he stands to day
without superior in his malignity
toward them.- Gin. Enc.

ed in the Supreme Court on Saturday last

relation Of Louisa Nash. Nash was ar
rested and committed on charge Of lar

City Judge McCunn on writ of habeas
corpus. Unless public rumor greatly be-
lies this Judge. he has used the hsbeas
corpus writ very freely in favor of men
like the rioters who recently disgraced
the ci,y-for whom justice is q terrible

class, they will be grisved to know that

that the City Judge has no power or
right to issue the writ Of habeas corpus.

4 Scales Us. A. II, Johus.-The motion to re-
move these cases to the Federal Court under
the recent Act of Congress, providing for
the removal of actions brought in the State
Courts for trespasses committed by officers
and other persons under authority of the
/ President or officers acting under him. was
decided yesterday morning, the Court over
ruling the motion for the removal. The
Court stated that portion of the defendants
had answered and denied having had any
! thing whatever to do with the burning of
the mill or the Imprisonment of Scales
These defendants did not therefore come
within the purview of the act, and as to
them, no ground existed for the REMOVAL
The rule established, under the Judiciary
Act of 1889, was that oil the defendants
must be of the description of persons con-
templated by the act, in order to authorize
the removal. Where part came within the
purview of the act, and part did not, it had
alwsys been held that the case could not be
removed. The same rule should, by anal
ogy, apply to these cases.


But independently of these considera-
tions, the Court after carefully examining
the question, was of opinion that Congress
did not possess the power, under the Con-
stitu tien, to authorize the removal ofa case
of this kind; at least, not after the State
Court had acquired jurisdiction of the case.
Congress evidently did not consider that
they possessed this power when they pass
ed the Judiciary Act of 1888, for they re-
quired the party to make the application
before the Court had taken any jurisdiction
of the case, and both the State and Fedora
Courts have always held accordingly. So
far have the Courts gone in upholding the
Jurisdiction of the State Courts, that when
the defendant has made the application be-


fore the Jurisdiction attached, but his petit
ton for the removal was defective, and was
so adjudged by the State Courts, the defect
could not be amended and the application
then made, for the reason that the State
Court acquires jurisdiction by passing upon
the defective petition. In the present case
the defendants had all submitted to the
Jurisdiction of this Court before they filed
their petition for a removal. They had, at
form er time, filed their answers, and vari-
Gus steps had been taken in the case, where
by this Court had acquired jurisdiction of the
parties and the subject matter. If the Court
could be ousted of its jurisdiction at this
stage of the cases, it could be done in the
midst of the trial. or at any time before
Judgment. The motions were overruled

Some murmur when their sky is clear,
And wholly bright to view,
If one small speck of dark appear


In their great heaven of blue;
And some with thankful love are filed
If but one streak of light,
One ray of Gods great mercy, gid


The darkness of their night,
In places are hearts that ask,


In discomfort and pride,
Why life is such weary task,


And all good things denied;
And hearts in poorest huts admire


How love has, in their aid
(Love that has never seemed to tire),
Such rich provisions made.

GrWe have given notice heretofore OF
the fact that "raised" Treasury Notes were


in circulation. A popular deception of the
kind has been praeticed upon the twos,
which have been raised to ffties, one OF
which is in the possession of Marshal Akers'
of New Albany. The note is raised from
genuine two, by cutting the large figure nifty
from fifty cent postal bills and pasting them
in the upper corners of the two, while the
small figures fifty are pasted in the four cor
ners on the back of the bill. The words
"two' in the scrolls on the lower right hand
corner of the bill are erased with pencil.--
There are raised fiyes and twenties, got up
in the same manner. A careful examination
will detect the imposition.-Lou. Journal.

TIE BALLOT Box AND THE JURY Box
These are the strongholds of the Dem ocracy
and it is by and through them that they re-
sist the unjust and unconstit utional enact
ments of an abolition Congress. Our oppo-
nents threaten force, and in some parts OF
the country attack the press by means OF
their mobs. The Democrats are law aoid-
ing men; much as they oppose the unconsti-
tutional acts of a minority Congress, and
the whole tribe of swindling contractors,
they are content to meet all those wrongs by
the ballot freely exercised-not by the
bayonet, though their opponents threaten it.
They will also resort to the courts, and the
jury box, not the cartridge box, when their
rights are invaded. The black Republicans
wish to inaugurate civil war when they
find that ballots fail them. The Democrats
second no such violence as that. They will
put down the whole tribe of despots by the
ballot, as they overthrow the reign of terror
in the early history of the Republic.-NeW

A FALSE IDEA ExPosED-The Louisville
Democrat makes the following well-timed
remarks in reference to the idea of pntting
down the fsbslliop first, and then looking
after our own liberties:


No proposition is more untrue than that
we must crush the rebellion before we try
to preserve our Constitutional rights. There


is no antagonism. between the Constitution,
and hostility to rebellion, except when the
Administration makes them antagonistic.-
IF it does this, we have right, and it Is
duty, to refuse men and money until the Ad.a
ministration submits to the Constitution
The object of the refusal of men and money
is to force it to this. We must not submit
to the dogma that we shall not defend our
Constitutional rights till the rebellion u
over. It is gross Misrepresentation to say
a people are incapable of defending theiEi
Constitutional rights in a time of war. They
can and must do it then, Of all other times;
for, in such times, they are most in peril
The time is now-aIways now-and never
hereafter. A people who are not always
jealous of tn cir liberties, are on the high
road to lose them. Why can not they, Ia
time of war preserve their liberties? or why
is the duty less urgent? Are they less wiseT
Are their liberties less dear to them-les1
worth preserving? In peace or war, in pros-l
perity or adversely, the time for people to
hold and maintain their liberties is now, al-
ways now. Hereafter is always too late"

CHEERFUL TEACHERs.-How much does
usefulness in the world depend upon a
pleasing demeanor and an agreeable man
ner? We have often seen efforts to do
good prove fruitless because of the harsh
or rude way in which they were done.


When Lord Peterborough stayed for a
time with Fenclen, he was so delighted
with his piety and amiability that he ex-
claimed at parting, eff l remain here any

be formed in your home, dear reader?


AS teacher Of the young, it is of the
greatest importance to cultivate cheerful
and friendly spirit. Children are very sus-
ceptible and observant, and they are easily
repelled by hasty look or an unkind word.
In the brief memoir of poor old woman,
the writer observes: 81 always felt how
beautiful the Christian character appeared
in Jeanie, and that even the irreligious must
have admired it. She was spoken OF
among the children as the old woman who

He saw cannon ball strike the soldiers
left arm and sever it between the shoul-

arm falling at the distance Of ten feet or
more from where he stood. The chap.
lain still watched him, unconsciously to
the soldier, who did not know that he
was regarded at that moment by any
other than the All.Seeing Eye. The
soldier looked at his left side and beheld
bis bleeding stump; then, turning round,
he commenced searching for his diSsev-
cred arm. He picked it up, and held it
for a moment in its place; he then held
it aloft in his right hand, and exultantly
