IRREvERsIBLE GUARANTEES MUST BE HAD.


The question at issue is one of the yastest ev-
er presented for practical decision, involving
sn1 ane name name and veal OF this Republic at home
ana abroad. 1t is not q military question: it is
question of statesmanship. We are to se-
cure by counsel what was won by war Fail
ure now will make the war itself failure; sur
render now will undo all our victories. Let
plighted faith Of the Republic will be broken;
the national creditor and the national freed.
man will be sacrificed; the rebellion itself will
Haunt its insulting power; the whole country,
in length and breadth, will be disturbed; I and
the rebel region will be handed over to misrule
and anarchy. Let Congress prevail and all
this will be reversed; the plighted faith of the
Republic will be preserved; the national credi-
tor and the national freedman will be protect
ed; the rebellion itselfwill be trampled out for
ever; the whole country, in length and breadth
will be at peace; and the rebel region no long
er harassed by controversy and injustice, will
enjoy the richest fruits Of security and recon-
ciiiation. To labor for this cause NAV well
tempt the young and rejoice the DID,


And now, to-day, I protest again against any
admission OF ex-rebels to the great partnership
of this Republic, and renew the claim of ir-
reversible guarantees especially applicable to
the national creditor and the national freed
man; insisting now, as did year ago, that it
is our duty, while renouncing indemnity for
the past, to obtain at least security for the fu-
ture. AT the close of terrible war, which has
wasted our treasure, which has murdered our
citizens, which has filled the land with
funerals, which has MANNED and wounded null
titudes whom death had spared, and which has
broken up the very foundations of peace, our
first duty is to provide safeguards for the ftl-
ture. This can be only By provision, sure, fun
damental and irrepealable, which shall FIX for
ever the results of the war-the obligations of
government-and the equal rights of ali. Such
is the suggestion of common prudence and of
self-defense, as weH as of common honesty
To this end we must make haste slowly. States
which precipitated themselves out of Congress
must not be permitted toprecipitate themselves
back. They must not be allowed to enter those
halls which they reasonably deserted, until
we have every reasonable assurance of future
good conduct. We must not admit them, and
then repent our folly. Those words, once used

to keep alive, by association, old acquaintan-

commented upon by Il foreign periodical. We
do not remember ever TO have seen an attempt
TO prove that the old hero did not commit 4
blunder. And yet no proposition, we think,
is more susceptible of perfect demonstration.
Here is General TAYLoR's own language:


"We are al peace with all the world, and
hope TO maintain our amicable relations with
the rest OF mankind


This is merely apparently a bull. The two
phrases, "all the world - and the crest of
mankind are synonymous and interchange
able No one will contend that he might not
with propriety have said "We are 1T peace
with the rest Of mankind" or I've are at
peace with all the world" And the same
idea would have been expressed by either
phrase. This proves the two TO be Identical
in meaning, and If so, they may be substi-
tuted the one for the other. Let us see how
the sentence would then read:


1--WE are at peace with the rest OF mankind,
and hope to maintain our amicable relations
with all the world


AS good English rs anybody can write.
Again the conjunction "and'' certainly
does not affect the correctness of the language: :
for in parSing the sentence, the word we y is
supposed TO be between "and" and hope"
as the nominative case TO the latter. Leave
out the land" and the dullest reader will
perceive that there is nothing wrong-thus:


1--WE are al peace with all the world. We
hope TO uuiHtuip our amicable relations with
the rest Of mankind" (or " all the worldly


Is that right? Unquesuonably. And we
think no one will contend that the insertion of
"and" could convert these two sentences into
one containing a bull. 1t is undeniablc, then,
that General TAYLOR was right. The resem-
blance TO a bull is owing entirely to that i'm
perfection of the language itself-if imperiec.

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, in
speaking of the disgraceful exhibition in the
United States Senate, on Wednesday last
of Senator Salisbury being taken from the
chamber by two brother Senators in an Of
fensive state of intoxication, . says


Out of feeling of mistaken forbearance
the U. s. Senate has more than once passed
over the disgraceful conduct of one or two of
its members, hoping that a lcnient course
might awaken some dormant sense of de-
cency and propriety. The result appears to
be very like that which has followed the
same sort of policy at the South. federation
and forbearance have been taken for indif-
ference, if not for approval, until we have,
il the New York Post is correctly informed,
the humiliating spectacle of Senator Of the
United States, taken from the Chamber sin
an offensive state of intoxication.n - The
State of Delaware is perhaps most intimate
ly concerned in this monstrous outrage on
public morals and decency; but the whole
country has the right to demand the prompt
vindication of the dignity of the Senate, by
the expulsion Of Mr.. Salisbury from his
scat. We trust that the Senate will not allow
this disgusting spectacle to 20 forth to the
world, without following it with the swiftest
and most condign punishment.


We can assure our neighbor that the loyal,
Union-loving portion of our State, feel deep
ly mortified that our commonwealth should
be represented in the highest branch of our
National Legislature, by man SO lost to
every sense of morality and common decency
as the Senator alluded to in the above article.
We would prefer of course to have man
represent us, who holds different sentiment:
from Mr.. Salisbury but if we must have O

litical motives, when we say we trust,

The New Pork World relates the fol-
lowing incident in connection with the
execution in that city of Frank Ferris,
for the murder of his wife:


By some oversight on the part Of the
officer who had the children Of the con,
deHned nan in charge, the duty Of
taking them away from the Tombs be-
fore the execution, was neglected. The
result of the oversight was one that many
Of tboss who heard whas occurred as the
execution was going on, will, perhaps,
never forget Just as the last words of
the eulprit had been pronounced, the cry
Of child, long and piercing at first, then
in tones of terror, screaming out, "Fa-
ther, oh my father resounded through
the halls Of the new prison. Many a
strong man turned pale at the sound,
and many a lip quivered that perhaps
never moved from emotion IN such scenes
before The cry was that of the little
boy Billy" who if he could not see
dangling in the air the form Of him whom
he used to call father, at least was made
aware BY some means or another of the
terrible scene outside of the walls.
Whether the last earthly voice heard by
the dying father was that soul-rsnding
cry of his child no one can tell. Let US
hone that his ear was deafened to all
worldly sounds before that cry went up
with such horror blended in its echoes
as to make strong men quake and trem-

NJ. Sichel, in the course of twenty
eight years practice, has frequently met
with blindness from palsy of the optic
nerve, produced by the abuse of smok-
ing, and he believes that there are few
persons who can smoke for any long
period more than five drachms of tobacco
daily without their vision, and often their
memory, becoming affected. He had
previously spoken Of another form Of
amaurosis, symptomatic of delirium tre-
mems, and caused by alcoholic drinks.
1t is frequently accompanied by trem-
bling of hands in the morning, and at a
later period by morning vomiting. Both
of these varieties ere very slow in their
progress towards cure and very refrac-
tory to treatment This latter occupies
long time, and an essential point, Of
course, is the discontinuance of the prac-
tice that has given rise to the blind, We
cannot attempt to give in this place even
an outline Of the treatment


NJ. Trignet states that in smokers and
drinkers an insidious and obstinate form
of Inflammation of the ear (otitis) fire.
quently becomes developed. There is a
kind of numbness or torpor of the ear,
with sense of cold, but hardly any pain.
There is no wax in the ear, bat extreme
dryness and minute granulations of the
throat, the passages of the nose, and the
tubes on each side, leading from the
mouth, behind the palate, to the middle
ear. Noises in the ear almost always
occur at an early period, and it is i'm
portant to notice that they have kissing
sound. The disease exhibits itself in
three periods l. That of excitement, in
which there is intolerance of noise and a
kissing sound in the ear 2. That of de-
preston, in which the kissing sound dis.
appears, or only remains as distant and
feeble echo and 3. That of a paralytic
condition Of the auditory nerve, in which
the sense of hearing is more or less com
pletely, and often permanently, lost In
this period, there is also often trembling
of the tongue, embarrassment of speech
and disturbance of vision. The progno-
sis is very ppfavorable, for those persons
alone are susceptible of cure who will
consent to leave off the bad habit which
has produced the disease.-Philadelphia

MEDICAL ADVICE.-Dr. VIM. K. Doherty's q
Medical and Surgical Institute is becoming sine
qua non to the we lfare of our State and health
Of our citizens; and bis rapidly spreading reputa.
ton, although 1t may excite surprise, is but the
signal of skill, and follows as the natural effect
of such cause. We ore personally acquainted
with gentlemen who had suffered for years under
chronic disease, and who had taken advantage of
every available means that promised relief, but
without success until they called upon DR.. Do
herty, who In an incredibly short space of time,
has given them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to
announce this fact, because the Doctor is a gen.
tlcman who seeks, not by defamation of others,
to establish his reputation, or to rear the SUPER
structure Of his own upon the ruin of another's
fame. The Doctor conducts his Institute in snch
manner that must be gratifying to all his pa
tients. He examines advises and recommends
without charge, and the patient after hearing
his terms for treatment, can accept or reject at
pleasure. In no case does the Doctor make
charge unless he effects q cure. This he ia able
to do, because he feels the confidence which long
experience has given and no doubt the consoa-
ton which appertains to that confidence. Per-
sons afflicted with either acute or chronic disease
would do we'll to consult the Doctor; at all events
It can do no harm, rs for consultation he asks no
tee; nor does he insist on obedience 10 his advice
unless the patient places himself under his care.

succor about three months after the death

there was no niggard cruelty. Mrs. Isaac

wealth of this relative by marriage. Her
