[From tbe Crisis.]
The Truth "Leaking Out."
Among the late news Irom Washington, in Republican papers, we find this:
It has leaked out lhat official reports put the
Union loss in killed, wounded and missing, in the
battle of Chancellorsville, at the appalling figure
of 28,000.
A terrible leak! 30,000 at the Chikahominy.
20,000 at tbe second Bull Run battle, 20,000 at
Fredericksburg, 28,000 at Chancellorsville, and
25,000 at Gettysburg—143,000 in all—tells pretty
well what became of the great Potomac army of
the Winter of 1862. We believe all the above are
low figures, yet how different from the unoffical
and nnothorized statistical table pnt before the
public by Mansfield, and taking the rounds ofthe
paper. And remember the above is only the loss
of one army.
Now, supposing that their waB an equal number
lost on tbe other side, and all reports from our
side stated that tbe losses from our side stated that
losses ot tbe enemy always surpassed ours, then
we may safely put down 143,000 lor the Confederates, united tbey make 286,000 men, freemen of
the old United States, destroyed around and in
hearing of Washington City, the old Capital. In
this we include neither the first Bull Run figbtt
nor any of the less bloody scenes and well contested skirmishes almost continually transpiring, as a
part ol tbe Potomac army, and the forces opposed
to it.
After contemplating this, let your mind sweep
over the extent of country South and West of the
two Capitals of tbe two contending forces much
larger than all Europe, and imagine, if you oan,
the full extent of the lives lost, mained aud sickened, property destroyed, missery detailed, outrages committed of every varying character, and
then ponder over the fact, whether the Democrtic
party, who from the first disapproved ofa war at
all, should now organize itself on that platform of
blood, for further prosecution of the horrors of the
Lincoln Administration I We cannot bring
back tbe lost, nor restore the bereaved and broken
hearts ; but we can as christians, and patriots,
make an effort before God and the world, to save
a remnant of wbat is left, and add no more to the
numerical column of woe and wretchedness, now
crying to Heaven for mercy and protection;
It is something to feel if you are doing right—
it is no small thing to be on the side of mercy
whether mercy wins or loses.
The Outrages op Abolitionism.—The Tribune
says tbat Frederick Brown, a brother of the old
horse-thief and murderer, is highly recommended
for tbe position of Superintendent of Old Abe's
niggers in Virginia. It thinks it an act of poetic
justice that tbe brother of "the hero and martyr
John Brown," should now receive a responsible
position in tbe proud State ol Virginia, as one of
its rulers! It also exclaims, "Wbat a change in
public opinion since John Brown's death !" "Public opinion 1" Yey, the "public opinion" that
comes from half a million of bayonets. Tbe "Public opinion" begotten of force and despotism. The
"public opinion" of the canon's mouth. But what
a condition of public affairs, when a party in possession of the Government boldly shoulder the
character and reputation of a man condemned and
executed for treason, whose sentence its leaders at
the time allowed was just. If John Brown was legally convicted, and tbey all allowed he was,
then, by honoring his memory, and rewarding his
aiders aDd abettors, they step into his shoes, and
acknowledge themselves to be all that he was.—
Tbere is no getting away from this position, so
tbat, according to their own logic, they are train
tors. Tbe substantially confess also that their war
is but a John Brown raid on a large scale. Snch
is the position in which even their own admissions
place them. It is, perhaps, desirable to go on in
tbeir career until they fill the cup of their Iniquity
full, even to overflowing.—N. Y. Day Book,
"The Big Thing" so Long Promised.—Tbere
have been, during the past month, various mysterious hints in the Abolition papers, that something
was soon to come off in Butler's department, whicb
Was to astound the whole conntry, and make "the
rebels howl." Well, the terrible atlair has transpired. The hero of "Big Bethel" has fairly eclipsed himself. He took some three regiments of negroes, and some cavalry, went within ten miles of
Richmond, and then hurried back to his hole without firiDg a shot. Strange to Bay, it is not stated
that he robbed a single smoke-house of its bacon,
and hence he does uot announce "a Union victory.';
The London Times' Correspondent on President Lincoln's Views.
It passes, I confess, my wit to discern how, consistently even with his own view ofthe truth, President Lincoln can so modify or distort (his resume
of the military events of 1863 as to employ the language which In his singular message to Congress,
bas flowed from his pen. What does he see to justify him in talking about "pardon to rebels," who
laugh either at his mercy or bis severity, and who
have in the field one thousand pieces of artillery,
and more than a quarter ofa million tried and hardened soldiers 1 Why offer admittance into his Union
to any insurgent State which exhibits among one-
tenth of its population (slaves included) Union sentiments, and bow will the issue be effected if putative senators from South Carotins and every other
Southern State take their Beats in the Congress at
Washington ?
Why does not Mr. Lincoln admit upon the same
term representatives from Irland or Cuba, when it
is susceptible proof that he bas much control over
both as he has over the State of Alabama 1 Can he
deny that the year closes with marked evidence of
superiority possessed by the Confederates over the
Federal army in Virginia, that Gen. Johnston is
infusing new heart and life into General Bragg's
army, and that he is backed by all tbe aroused
strength of the most powerful of the Confederate
States'? Besides the obstacles which from the commencement have hampered the Federals in their
strategy are as actively operative as ever. No Federal army has as yet succeeded in getting far away
from its water base; the enemy has constantly moved upon an inner and concealed line ot communication.
It will be possible next spring to throw General
Lougstreet into Georgia or Virginia at a moment's
notice, and without the knowledge of his opponents.
Early in tbe next year another important link in the
railroad communication connecting Richmond with
tbe south will be finished, and Danville, in Virginia
united with Queensborough, in North Carolina.
The Legislature of each State in the Confereracy
have recently been in session, and dissolved breathing threatenings against their hated foe. In the
Legislature of North Carolina, the State believed to
be most deeply imbued with Union sentiment—
there was a motion for offering to the North pi o-
posals for peaee upon the basis of independents
State actiou, but only two members voted- for it.
Tbe Federals have il is true, what the lawyers call
pedispossessio in Tennessee; but it has taken nearly three years to give them a gain of little more
than one hundred miles intersected throughout
their length and breadth by two large and convenient navigable rivers; and in tbe end the sentiment
of the large majority of the population remains bitterly hostile to tbem.
All the best and bravest of the Arkansans are
fighting in the field—most of them like Arkansas'
adopted son, General Cleburne, in the army of General Bragg; and because of a population scarcely
exceeding four huudred thousand souls, ot whom
one third are slaves, there are not found men enough
to hold the Boil against a few scatered Federals, it
is claimed, forsooth, that Arkansas is loyal to the
Union I Could some power bestow upon President
Lincoln and his advisers tbe gift of seeing themselves as others Bee them,what a picture would their'
handiwcrk, as read in this once happy and favored
continent of North America, present to their view!
A broad belt of devastation sweeps for hundreds of
miles along the frontier which separates the exasperated combatants, and within the precincts fire and
sword and havoc and rapine have done their worst.
In no other words can tbe disolation of Northern
Virginia and Tennessee find Such forcible exposition
as in those of the prophet Joel: "That which the
palmerworm hath left, hath the locust eaten and
that which the locust hath left hath the canker woim
eaten, and that which the cankerworm hath left
hath the catterpiller eaten." Behind the gloomier
vission ascends. The whole land groans with dungeons and bastiles—in the North 34,000 Confederates, in the South nearly 20,000 Federals languish
in imprisonment—in both sections an unknown number of suspected and other unoffending civilians and
women pay the peualty of imputed opinion. In the
North, Johnston's Island, Forts Warren, Lafayette,
Delaware and McHenry, Camps Chase and Douglas
are words of terror known throughout the civilized
globe. In the South, Castle Thnnder, Libby Prison
Belle Isle, Danville and Americus. are choked with
prisoners, and there is a ery of increasing prison
accommodation. Where, it will be asked, will it be
had ? Is the precarious tenure of Tennessee, which
may be wrested from him any day, and which is
substantially all the success which his armies have
gained tbis year, sufficient to justify President Lincoln in continuing the anguish of so large a portion
of the humam race for yet another year ?
-*-^_>'>—
"Well, Slavery ls Dead, Anyhow."
This ls now the cry of the mongrels in the
streets, the hotels, especially in tha Puritanic or
satanio churches, indeed everywhere, and some of
the miserable creatures who call themselves Democrats, "but opposed to slavery," seem to believe
it, at all events, help to swell the oborus of tbe
lunatics and knaves. "Slavery is dead ?" is it?
Well, what is slavery, or rather what is it they
thus speak of bo confidently as being dead ? There
are fcur millions of negroes in the South, and
eight millions of white people, and the party in
power propose to change their natural relations to
each other, to force the former op or the latter
down to a common level, in a word, to abolish tbe
democratic status ofthe negro and force him into
the status of the White men. This subordinate
status of tbe negro, then, is oalled slavery, and
this is said to be dead. Now, of tbe four millions
of negroes, possibly "Old Abe's" armies have
carried off or taken possession ofa quarter of a
million, principally old negroes, women and children, to support whom the northern laboring classes
are taxed ■sufficient perhaps to support an army of
the size of that of tbe Commissary Banks, at least.
Their relation to the whites is not changed, they
are simply removed from juxtaposition with the
\ former, aud collected iu contraband camps, but
thus transplanted, or thrust Irom their normal
condition, they are rapidly perishing. Thus not
"slavery," Dot the relation of the status of these
poor creatures, bnt niggers are dead, or dying as
far as they are concerned. Il the war goes on until
a million or even two millions of negroes are tbua
taken from their masters and collected in contraband camps, then the North will be taxed almost
as much to support them as to support tbe milli-
tary operations ; and, suppose lhat only half of
tbem are killed off by tbe friends of "impartial
freedom," when tbe war stops, what then! Of
course when the northern troops are withdrawn,
these negroes are restored to tbeir normal condition of domestic subordination. Even if all ths
southern States are conquered, tbey will bave tho
right to govern their own domestic ooncerns as
they please. If, as States, they denied this, then
New Yoibs and New Jersey, or other States,
wilt not be permitted to govern themselves, or to
determine the status of their populations, and
therefore tbe "United States'' would no longer exist. But if tbe mogrels are pledged to change tba
status of tbis million of negroes, of course tbey
must bring tbem North. Wbat State will accept
Ibem on these terms, tbat is on a basis of equality
with the white laboring classes t Wbat will become
of them? Why, the necessities of the case will
force the "friends of humanity" to knock tbem in
tbe head, or beg tbeir southern masters to take
them back. Thus, not "slavery," not the condition, but the helpless negro, perhaps half a million
may be dead belore this disgusting madness is over
—tbat is all tbat God Himself permits.—Day
Book.
IClng Abraham's Edicts.
As Mr. Abraham Lincoln is very busy issuing
his edicts and decrees, setting aside State laws and
constitution down South, we feel some slight degree of interest to know when be intends to commence further North. Witb a sweep of bis pen he
he bas declared the State laws of Louisiana and
Arkansas, so far as regards negroes, are hereby Bet
aside by his majesty. The will of the people is of
no sort of consequence whatever. Lincoln makes
and executes his own laws, and snaps bis fingers
at all cavillers. But while be is about it why
does he not fix up the laws of bis own State, Illinois ? Does be intend to confine the sphere of his
humanity aod benevolence entirely to the people
of the South ? Is he so partial as to bestow upon
tbem, and tbem alone tbe grand and glorious
benefits resulting from making Sambo a free and
equal citizens? Tbe following .notice was going
the ronnds af tbe papers only last spring and it is
said, was posted iu the post-office, and other public
places in Carthage, Hancock Co., Illinois :
Publio Salk.—Whereas, the following negroes,
and one mulatto man, were, on tbe 5th- and 6th
day of February, 1863, tried before tbe undersigned, a Justice of the Peace witbin and for Hancock
Connty, Illinois, on a charge of high misdemeanor,,
having come into this State and Couniy, and remaining therein for ten days and more, with tba
evident intention of residing in this State, and
were were found guilty by a jury, and were each
severally fined in tLe sum of $50, and the judgment was rendered against said negroes and mulatto man for fifty dollars each, aDd coat of suit,
which fines aud costs are annexed opposite to each
name, to wit:
Age. Fine. Costs.
John, a negro man, tall and
slim, about 35
Sambo, a negro man, about 21
Austin, a negro man, heavy.
set, about 20
Addrew, a negro man, about —
Amos, " " " 40
Nelson, a mulatto man, about 55 >
Aud whereas, said fines and costs have not been
paid, notice is therefore given tbat tbe undersigned will, on Thursday, the 19th day of February, A.
D. 1863, between the hour of 1 o'clock and 5
o'clock, P. M. of Baid day, at the west end of tho
Court House, in Carthage, Hancock County, Illinois, sell each of said negro men, John, Austin,
Sambo, Andrew, Amos, and said mulatto man,
Nelson, at Public Auction, to tbe person or persons who will pay the said fine and costs appended
against each respectively, for tbe shortest time of
service of said negroes and mulatto.
The purchaser, or purchasers, will be entitled
to the control and services of tbe negroes and mulatto purcheser for tbe period named in the sale
aod no longer, and will be required to furnish Baid
negroes and mulatto with comfortable food, clothing aod lodging, during said servitude. Tbe fees
for selling will be added on completion of tbe sale.
C. M. CHILD, J. P.
Carthage, Feb. 9,1763.
Now, tbe question arises, is it right and constitutional to sell negroes in Illinois, and not in
Louisiana? If Arkansas lias no right to pass laws
as to tbe itatus of negroes witbin her borders, bow
is it tbat Illinois has? These are grave "Constitutional" questions, upon which Solicitor Whiting
ought at once to give us Ms profoundest opinion.
Is Old Abe King of the Sontb and President of tho
North ? or is his power supreme everywhere? ft
These are very important questions!

A Modified Constitution.—President Lincoln's
Instructions to Gen. Steele, respecting the election
ordered for the State of Arkansas, direots lhat the
"said election may be conducted according toEaid
modified constitution"—the modification referred
to being tbe interpolition of a clause declaring
that tbere shall be neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude in tbe State.
Who before the present time ever heard of tho
constitution ofa State being "modified" by order
ol the President ot tbe United States? Hitherto
the people, through conventions, held for the purpose, have made constitutions for tbe purpose,
have made constitutions for their respective States;'
dow the President "modifies" the State Constitutions to conform to the Republican creed. What
next can he do, except it be to abolish the States
and eet up an empire ?

And who will yet the country save, Who'll dig for tyranny a grave, While freedom's flag o'er all shall wave! The "Copperheads." [From tbe Crisis.] The Truth "Leaking Out." Among the late news Irom Washington, in Republican papers, we find this: It has leaked out lhat official reports put the Union loss in killed, wounded and missing, in the battle of Chancellorsville, at the appalling figure of 28,000. A terrible leak! 30,000 at the Chikahominy. 20,000 at tbe second Bull Run battle, 20,000 at Fredericksburg, 28,000 at Chancellorsville, and 25,000 at Gettysburg—143,000 in all—tells pretty well what became of the great Potomac army of the Winter of 1862. We believe all the above are low figures, yet how different from the unoffical and nnothorized statistical table pnt before the public by Mansfield, and taking the rounds ofthe paper. And remember the above is only the loss of one army. Now, supposing that their waB an equal number lost on tbe other side, and all reports from our side stated that tbe losses from our side stated that losses ot tbe enemy always surpassed ours, then we may safely put down 143,000 lor the Confederates, united tbey make 286,000 men, freemen of the old United States, destroyed around and in hearing of Washington City, the old Capital. In this we include neither the first Bull Run figbtt nor any of the less bloody scenes and well contested skirmishes almost continually transpiring, as a part ol tbe Potomac army, and the forces opposed to it. After contemplating this, let your mind sweep over the extent of country South and West of the two Capitals of tbe two contending forces much larger than all Europe, and imagine, if you oan, the full extent of the lives lost, mained aud sickened, property destroyed, missery detailed, outrages committed of every varying character, and then ponder over the fact, whether the Democrtic party, who from the first disapproved ofa war at all, should now organize itself on that platform of blood, for further prosecution of the horrors of the Lincoln Administration I We cannot bring back tbe lost, nor restore the bereaved and broken hearts ; but we can as christians, and patriots, make an effort before God and the world, to save a remnant of wbat is left, and add no more to the numerical column of woe and wretchedness, now crying to Heaven for mercy and protection; It is something to feel if you are doing right— it is no small thing to be on the side of mercy whether mercy wins or loses. The Outrages op Abolitionism.—The Tribune says tbat Frederick Brown, a brother of the old horse-thief and murderer, is highly recommended for tbe position of Superintendent of Old Abe's niggers in Virginia. It thinks it an act of poetic justice that tbe brother of "the hero and martyr John Brown" should now receive a responsible position in tbe proud State ol Virginia, as one of its rulers! It also exclaims, "Wbat a change in public opinion since John Brown's death !" "Public opinion 1" Yey, the "public opinion" that comes from half a million of bayonets. Tbe "Public opinion" begotten of force and despotism. The "public opinion" of the canon's mouth. But what a condition of public affairs, when a party in possession of the Government boldly shoulder the character and reputation of a man condemned and executed for treason, whose sentence its leaders at the time allowed was just. If John Brown was legally convicted, and tbey all allowed he was, then, by honoring his memory, and rewarding his aiders aDd abettors, they step into his shoes, and acknowledge themselves to be all that he was.— Tbere is no getting away from this position, so tbat, according to their own logic, they are train tors. Tbe substantially confess also that their war is but a John Brown raid on a large scale. Snch is the position in which even their own admissions place them. It is, perhaps, desirable to go on in tbeir career until they fill the cup of their Iniquity full, even to overflowing.—N. Y. Day Book, "The Big Thing" so Long Promised.—Tbere have been, during the past month, various mysterious hints in the Abolition papers, that something was soon to come off in Butler's department, whicb Was to astound the whole conntry, and make "the rebels howl." Well, the terrible atlair has transpired. The hero of "Big Bethel" has fairly eclipsed himself. He took some three regiments of negroes, and some cavalry, went within ten miles of Richmond, and then hurried back to his hole without firiDg a shot. Strange to Bay, it is not stated that he robbed a single smoke-house of its bacon, and hence he does uot announce "a Union victory.'; The London Times' Correspondent on President Lincoln's Views. It passes, I confess, my wit to discern how, consistently even with his own view ofthe truth, President Lincoln can so modify or distort (his resume of the military events of 1863 as to employ the language which In his singular message to Congress, bas flowed from his pen. What does he see to justify him in talking about "pardon to rebels" who laugh either at his mercy or bis severity, and who have in the field one thousand pieces of artillery, and more than a quarter ofa million tried and hardened soldiers 1 Why offer admittance into his Union to any insurgent State which exhibits among one- tenth of its population (slaves included) Union sentiments, and bow will the issue be effected if putative senators from South Carotins and every other Southern State take their Beats in the Congress at Washington ? Why does not Mr. Lincoln admit upon the same term representatives from Irland or Cuba, when it is susceptible proof that he bas much control over both as he has over the State of Alabama 1 Can he deny that the year closes with marked evidence of superiority possessed by the Confederates over the Federal army in Virginia, that Gen. Johnston is infusing new heart and life into General Bragg's army, and that he is backed by all tbe aroused strength of the most powerful of the Confederate States'? Besides the obstacles which from the commencement have hampered the Federals in their strategy are as actively operative as ever. No Federal army has as yet succeeded in getting far away from its water base; the enemy has constantly moved upon an inner and concealed line ot communication. It will be possible next spring to throw General Lougstreet into Georgia or Virginia at a moment's notice, and without the knowledge of his opponents. Early in tbe next year another important link in the railroad communication connecting Richmond with tbe south will be finished, and Danville, in Virginia united with Queensborough, in North Carolina. The Legislature of each State in the Confereracy have recently been in session, and dissolved breathing threatenings against their hated foe. In the Legislature of North Carolina, the State believed to be most deeply imbued with Union sentiment— there was a motion for offering to the North pi o- posals for peaee upon the basis of independents State actiou, but only two members voted- for it. Tbe Federals have il is true, what the lawyers call pedispossessio in Tennessee; but it has taken nearly three years to give them a gain of little more than one hundred miles intersected throughout their length and breadth by two large and convenient navigable rivers; and in tbe end the sentiment of the large majority of the population remains bitterly hostile to tbem. All the best and bravest of the Arkansans are fighting in the field—most of them like Arkansas' adopted son, General Cleburne, in the army of General Bragg; and because of a population scarcely exceeding four huudred thousand souls, ot whom one third are slaves, there are not found men enough to hold the Boil against a few scatered Federals, it is claimed, forsooth, that Arkansas is loyal to the Union I Could some power bestow upon President Lincoln and his advisers tbe gift of seeing themselves as others Bee them,what a picture would their' handiwcrk, as read in this once happy and favored continent of North America, present to their view! A broad belt of devastation sweeps for hundreds of miles along the frontier which separates the exasperated combatants, and within the precincts fire and sword and havoc and rapine have done their worst. In no other words can tbe disolation of Northern Virginia and Tennessee find Such forcible exposition as in those of the prophet Joel: "That which the palmerworm hath left, hath the locust eaten and that which the locust hath left hath the canker woim eaten, and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the catterpiller eaten." Behind the gloomier vission ascends. The whole land groans with dungeons and bastiles—in the North 34,000 Confederates, in the South nearly 20,000 Federals languish in imprisonment—in both sections an unknown number of suspected and other unoffending civilians and women pay the peualty of imputed opinion. In the North, Johnston's Island, Forts Warren, Lafayette, Delaware and McHenry, Camps Chase and Douglas are words of terror known throughout the civilized globe. In the South, Castle Thnnder, Libby Prison Belle Isle, Danville and Americus. are choked with prisoners, and there is a ery of increasing prison accommodation. Where, it will be asked, will it be had ? Is the precarious tenure of Tennessee, which may be wrested from him any day, and which is substantially all the success which his armies have gained tbis year, sufficient to justify President Lincoln in continuing the anguish of so large a portion of the humam race for yet another year ? -*-^_>'>— "Well, Slavery ls Dead, Anyhow." This ls now the cry of the mongrels in the streets, the hotels, especially in tha Puritanic or satanio churches, indeed everywhere, and some of the miserable creatures who call themselves Democrats, "but opposed to slavery" seem to believe it, at all events, help to swell the oborus of tbe lunatics and knaves. "Slavery is dead ?" is it? Well, what is slavery, or rather what is it they thus speak of bo confidently as being dead ? There are fcur millions of negroes in the South, and eight millions of white people, and the party in power propose to change their natural relations to each other, to force the former op or the latter down to a common level, in a word, to abolish tbe democratic status ofthe negro and force him into the status of the White men. This subordinate status of tbe negro, then, is oalled slavery, and this is said to be dead. Now, of tbe four millions of negroes, possibly "Old Abe's" armies have carried off or taken possession ofa quarter of a million, principally old negroes, women and children, to support whom the northern laboring classes are taxed ■sufficient perhaps to support an army of the size of that of tbe Commissary Banks, at least. Their relation to the whites is not changed, they are simply removed from juxtaposition with the \ former, aud collected iu contraband camps, but thus transplanted, or thrust Irom their normal condition, they are rapidly perishing. Thus not "slavery" Dot the relation of the status of these poor creatures, bnt niggers are dead, or dying as far as they are concerned. Il the war goes on until a million or even two millions of negroes are tbua taken from their masters and collected in contraband camps, then the North will be taxed almost as much to support them as to support tbe milli- tary operations ; and, suppose lhat only half of tbem are killed off by tbe friends of "impartial freedom" when tbe war stops, what then! Of course when the northern troops are withdrawn, these negroes are restored to tbeir normal condition of domestic subordination. Even if all ths southern States are conquered, tbey will bave tho right to govern their own domestic ooncerns as they please. If, as States, they denied this, then New Yoibs and New Jersey, or other States, wilt not be permitted to govern themselves, or to determine the status of their populations, and therefore tbe "United States'' would no longer exist. But if tbe mogrels are pledged to change tba status of tbis million of negroes, of course tbey must bring tbem North. Wbat State will accept Ibem on these terms, tbat is on a basis of equality with the white laboring classes t Wbat will become of them? Why, the necessities of the case will force the "friends of humanity" to knock tbem in tbe head, or beg tbeir southern masters to take them back. Thus, not "slavery" not the condition, but the helpless negro, perhaps half a million may be dead belore this disgusting madness is over —tbat is all tbat God Himself permits.—Day Book. IClng Abraham's Edicts. As Mr. Abraham Lincoln is very busy issuing his edicts and decrees, setting aside State laws and constitution down South, we feel some slight degree of interest to know when be intends to commence further North. Witb a sweep of bis pen he he bas declared the State laws of Louisiana and Arkansas, so far as regards negroes, are hereby Bet aside by his majesty. The will of the people is of no sort of consequence whatever. Lincoln makes and executes his own laws, and snaps bis fingers at all cavillers. But while be is about it why does he not fix up the laws of bis own State, Illinois ? Does be intend to confine the sphere of his humanity aod benevolence entirely to the people of the South ? Is he so partial as to bestow upon tbem, and tbem alone tbe grand and glorious benefits resulting from making Sambo a free and equal citizens? Tbe following .notice was going the ronnds af tbe papers only last spring and it is said, was posted iu the post-office, and other public places in Carthage, Hancock Co., Illinois : Publio Salk.—Whereas, the following negroes, and one mulatto man, were, on tbe 5th- and 6th day of February, 1863, tried before tbe undersigned, a Justice of the Peace witbin and for Hancock Connty, Illinois, on a charge of high misdemeanor,, having come into this State and Couniy, and remaining therein for ten days and more, with tba evident intention of residing in this State, and were were found guilty by a jury, and were each severally fined in tLe sum of $50, and the judgment was rendered against said negroes and mulatto man for fifty dollars each, aDd coat of suit, which fines aud costs are annexed opposite to each name, to wit: Age. Fine. Costs. John, a negro man, tall and slim, about 35 Sambo, a negro man, about 21 Austin, a negro man, heavy. set, about 20 Addrew, a negro man, about — Amos, " " " 40 Nelson, a mulatto man, about 55 > Aud whereas, said fines and costs have not been paid, notice is therefore given tbat tbe undersigned will, on Thursday, the 19th day of February, A. D. 1863, between the hour of 1 o'clock and 5 o'clock, P. M. of Baid day, at the west end of tho Court House, in Carthage, Hancock County, Illinois, sell each of said negro men, John, Austin, Sambo, Andrew, Amos, and said mulatto man, Nelson, at Public Auction, to tbe person or persons who will pay the said fine and costs appended against each respectively, for tbe shortest time of service of said negroes and mulatto. The purchaser, or purchasers, will be entitled to the control and services of tbe negroes and mulatto purcheser for tbe period named in the sale aod no longer, and will be required to furnish Baid negroes and mulatto with comfortable food, clothing aod lodging, during said servitude. Tbe fees for selling will be added on completion of tbe sale. C. M. CHILD, J. P. Carthage, Feb. 9,1763. Now, tbe question arises, is it right and constitutional to sell negroes in Illinois, and not in Louisiana? If Arkansas lias no right to pass laws as to tbe itatus of negroes witbin her borders, bow is it tbat Illinois has? These are grave "Constitutional" questions, upon which Solicitor Whiting ought at once to give us Ms profoundest opinion. Is Old Abe King of the Sontb and President of tho North ? or is his power supreme everywhere? ft These are very important questions! 50 $33 17 50 32 17 60 30 10 60 30 33 50 29 67 60 30 07 A Modified Constitution.—President Lincoln's Instructions to Gen. Steele, respecting the election ordered for the State of Arkansas, direots lhat the "said election may be conducted according toEaid modified constitution"—the modification referred to being tbe interpolition of a clause declaring that tbere shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in tbe State. Who before the present time ever heard of tho constitution ofa State being "modified" by order ol the President ot tbe United States? Hitherto the people, through conventions, held for the purpose, have made constitutions for tbe purpose, have made constitutions for their respective States;' dow the President "modifies" the State Constitutions to conform to the Republican creed. What next can he do, except it be to abolish the States and eet up an empire ? - nl 5 1 CM CO ■■■ 1 CM CO o CO CD CM 1 £_ co CM CM CO CM O ID CM CM co CM 0)_ — CM CM — CM 0) — o CM H — — CO K- ' — r>» CO CO ID — — •* co w_ — CM — |
