fo
The Abolitionists and the Negro-Caustic Strictures,
The Edinburg Review has an article on "The
Negro Race in America," which would appear to
bave been written by some Abolition fanatic
whether English or Yankee, who had never read
anything but Abolition tracts and abolition
neswspapers, who know nothing whatever about
the institutions of the South, or about the character of the negro, who geis his facts from Butler and
Seward, and his philosophy from Beecher and
Wendell Phillips, it is quite possible for such a
writer to believe that the negro race have been
intelligently awaiting emancipation ; that they
are as capable and more moral than whites ; that
they work better as freemen than as slaves, and
that they have submitted so long to slavery only
because they shrank from incurring the bloodshed and confusion which must follow a servile
revolt. It is possible for such a writer to fancy
that the negroes have.been ill treated by the Sooth
an'd kindly received by the North ,• that they love
the Yanke'e and hate the Southerners ; tbat they
act as northern spies, a'nd not as Confedarate
ssjouts; that they do soldiers' service in the Federal armies, and have in that capacity achieved victories worthy of remembrance.
The fact is tbat the whole negro population,
with here and there an exception, has been happy
and contented in slavery ; that tbe free nogro is
utterly unable to take care of himself in the midst
ofa superior number of whites ; that he will do no
work at all, and is one of the most miserable beings in creation. Such is the experience of the
Uuited Slates, north and south ; such is the experience of our own West India Islands, in one
of which tbe free negroes lately got up a rebellion
of which the object was to plunder all the pro^
perty of the whites, to gain possession of the women and to massacre all the men. The negroes of
the southern States were a happier and higher
species ; tbey wefe well fed and kindly treated,
and devotedly attached to their masters' families.
In the North they were ill-used, spurned and spit
upon flogged out of one State; fined if they set
foot in another ; in no State out of New England
admitted to the privileges of citizenship. Consequently, when the war broke out the negroes were
enthusiastically loyal to their masters.
When Lincoln's proclamation was issued the
Abolitionists—who expected and hoped, who passionately proclaimed tbeir hope, that the negroes
would rise upon their masters' families, and enact
throughout the South the horrible scenes of Delhi
and Cawnpore—were bitterly disappointed.—Tbe
negroes remajn quite and loyal, Berving the Confederates so faithfully and zealously, that the sober sort of northern officers began to find out that
an intelligent contraband meant a Confederate spy.
And so they have remained, except w'hen tbey
have been dragged forcibly away from their homes
to serve or die under Yankee colors, or when left
for months under Yankee control, they have been
debauched and brutalized by drink, by license,
and by the preaching of Mr. Beecher's disciples,
who teach the famous creed of "hell fire for the
leaders and Greek fire for the masses." So the
wretched slaves who have fallen into northern
hands either die by thousands of want, cold and
nakedness—and tens of thousands have so perished—or being completely debauched, are employed
as the tools of northern vengeance : now in a des»
trnctive expendition, which bqrns and plunders,
but dares not fight; now in murdering old men
and children ; now in outraging the unhappy inhabitants of the districts which have fallen into
northern hands.
Their militarv achievements bave been confined
to three forms of service—they have burned unresisting towns like Darien ; they have committed
ma sacres like that of Beckham's Landing ; they
have been the tools of Federal cruelty and vindi-
cativeness, as they are at Norfolk ; they have never done anything in the field of battle, except
when driven on by Yankee bayonets, they have
screened the craven soldiery of Massachusetts
from tbe fire of Confederate batteries. The most
remarkable of their exploits is one of whicb tbe
full history has not yet reached us ; but it appears
that they mutinied at Fort Jackson, murdered
their white officers, and beat off a force sent against
them. Thus tbeir only success in fighting has
been obtained over the Yankees, and not in their
service.
At Norfolk, under tbe congenial leadership of
"the infamous" General Butfer, they are no doubt
fulfilling the heart's'desire of their emancipators
by tormenting, insulting and vexing in every pos-
I sible way tbe wretched inhabitants. These are
1 detained by force, and are not allowed to cross
the Confederate lines, nor yet to leave under Federal rule without takin" not'one, but twenty
oaths of allegence. If a man desires to make a
purchase, to recover stolen property, to perform
any of the most necessary duties of civilized life
be finds lhat he must take an oath of alligeance to
a government wbicb he loathes and detests and on
each occasion a new oath is required. Women,
also are subject to this law, and what is worse, no
protection from the f. ulest insaulls is allowed to
any one who does not swear in theiirescribed forin
—When General Butler issued bis proclamation
authorizing bis troops to treat the ladies of
New Orleans as women of tbe town playing their
vocartion, some very unscrupulous^persons here
and in America tried to argue that be did not
mean what he said ; tbat be only intended a brutal and black-guard insult, not a lscense of outrage.
We beg to call the attention of these persons to
the fact that, as if r/ith a deliberate intent to give
them tbe lie, their honorable client has new notified to the negro troops at Norfolk, and to the
white women living there, that no protection
against outrage will be given to any woman who
bas not taken the oath of alligence, that is to say
all women who remain obstinately loyal to the
State of Virginia are given up to . the brutality of
the negro rable, on whose hanks Mr. Lincoln has
thought fit to put a uniform tbat has been worn
by McClellan and Eosecrans. Nor is this an idle
threat. Two women who refused to betray certain guerrillas into tbe hands of these blackscoun-
drels, were by them Btripped naked, flogged, and
kept exposed for a whole night to the inclement
wintry weather. Tha subordinates of General
Butler openly proclaimed tbeir desire to let the
negro troops loose on the white population, with
full permission to massacre and pillage, and negro
meetings are held to discuss the expediency of
commencing such a proceeding without orders.
They house where they will, and take what they
will; and lately, a dying man, with a family of
eight children, was turned into the street by them.
Schools were broken up, women insulted in lhe
streets, children imprisoned fcr daring to make remarks offensive to negro vanity! and finally, to
complete the misery ofthe people, a conscription
is threatened which will drive the few able-bodied men tbat still remain there into tbe ranks of
their tyrants to fight against their countrymen,
all these things are done under the eye of the Federal Government, and with its full sanction and
approval. What opinion, then, must J&e form of
the character of the man who is at its Tiead, with
absolute and uncontrolled power, and by whose
command these.dastardly crimes are committed?
We may see in tbese atrocities a practical confession that the Federal Government utterly despairs of tbe professed object of its efforts. If it really hoped to conquer the South in the only way in
which the conquest of the great territory was ever
effected, by beating and vexing the people into
submission, it would not proclaim to them lbat if
tbey submit tbey shall be treated with more brutality than savages are wont to show to their vanquished enemies. When we see the negro encouraged
to lord it over white men and to scourge white
women; when we see a southern district deliberately placed at the mercy ofa ruffian like Butler,
we kuow at once that the North is simply seeking
vengeance, not victory. It is impossible for any
people willing to yield themselves, to such a fate
as this.—London Herald.
Aristocracy and Africans—The Negri, Regiment Reception by the fifth Avenue Fashionables.
Fifth avenue has been in a blaze of glory during the past week. The philosophy of amalgamation, seductively veiled under the new term
"miscegenation," seems to be fully adopted by tbe
kid-gloved and sweet-scented fashionables of that
highly aristocratic street. The pet soldiers of
Fifth avenue are black men. The poor white
trash who fight the batlesof Abolition are now
looked upon with eoolness and disdain, and as unworthy of flags, grand receptions and the "love
and honor" of fair ladies. On Saturday last, a
negrojregjment recruited from all the stray niggers that could be found lying about loose, took
its departure from Biker's Island, for New OrleanB.
They landed at tbe foot of the twenty-sixth street
E. R., and took up their iine of march for Union
square, where the loyal league Club rooms are located. Every darkey in Brooklyn, Jersey City
and New Yorfc had turned out for the occis i n
Rows of shining ivory lined the streets, and jolly
Abolitionists stretched their faces in the light at
the grand display which they supposed so chagrined the copperheads. They anticipated or feared
there would be some demonstration rg.iiBt
tbeir proteges, and hence whole platoons
of policemen were on hand to protect
the blessed darkeys. Copperheads however
are a liberty-loving people, and have no objection
to all Fifth avenue sleeping with tbe darkeys, if
tbey choose to do so. But it Ib proper to state
tbat the negroes were kept as much as possible
out of Democratic localities. Filth avenue and
upper Broadway were the scenes of Ihe disgraceful
fandango. If the Bowery or,Mackeri lville had been
visited, it is most likely that Sambo would have
seen some evidence of the existenee of that healthy
inBtinct wbich Nature always manifests—where
it has not been corupted and debauched, as in tbe
Fifth avenue, by reading nigger novels and "mis-
cegeneiiou" tracts. Poverty has its compensations. Those who cannot afford to read tbe debauched literature of the present day are saved
from i curse which riches almost inevitably brings.
Let Ihe poor thank God aod take courage, If He
denies them wealth, He at least eaves them from
degradation of Fifth avenue ! If the poor wonan
who sits in "unwomanly rags," and plies hi»r
needle for bread, cannot afford to clothe her body
in velvet and ermines, she at least bas the satisfaction to know that her mind is not tainted with a
leprosy more foul than the physical infirmity
which afflicted Naaman, and which required a
seven times washing iu Jordan to eradicate.
Among those who took part in the reception of
the negro regiment, a reporter of one of tbe city
pipers mentions the following!; "Professor Ring
of Columbia College, E. O. Cowdin, Wm. E. Dodge
Judge, Kirkland,Mr. Bancroft, John Jay, Professor Lieber, Col. G. Bliss, Vineent Collyer, and a
large number if ladies—some of them members of
Mr. King's fanvly. Adjaoent to the platform
were the Rev. Dr. Tyng Rev. S. H. Tyng, Jr.,
Rev. Dr. Garnett, Rev.' Mr. Leveridge, &o. "Mr.
King presented tbe flig of the negroes on behalf
of the Fifth avenue "ladies," saying among other
ihings ; Tbe flag which I bold In my hand to be
placed in yours, tells its own story. The oon-
qnering eagle, tbe armed figure of liberty^ tha
broken yoke, speak as plainly as symbols oan of
God and liberty,—of right of freedom, and the
overthrow of slavery." If more were needed to
proclaim the object of the war. this could be adduced, but no more is needed, Mr King simply fills
up the testimony. Tbe most noticeable feature of
this disgusting affair is the presentation to these
negroes of an address, by "the fair daughters of
this city," signed, says one of the papers, "by their
own fair hands."
We give this precious document below, in fall,
with all the signatures attached in order that it
may be preserved in our files. It will be delightful reading a few years hence, when these silly
and deluded women would gladly hide themselves
in their graves if they could thereby wipe out tbe
foul disgrace of this beastly document. "Love
and honor" to negroes! Great GodI Fifth avenue

Points. But bere is the sweet morceaa :

Soldiers :—We. the moihers, wives and sisters

and under whose direct auspices yon have been

defense of the Union, earnestly sympathizing ia
lhe.great cause of American frea. nationality, and
desirous of testifying, by some memorial, our profound sense ofthe Bacred object and the holy
cause, in behalf of which you have enlisted, have
prepared for you tbis banner, at once the emblem

best wishes and prayers for our country, and especially for your devotion thereto.
When you look at this flag and rush to battle,
or stand at guard beueatb its sublime motto,
"God and Liberty !" remember that it is also an
emblem of love and honor from (he daughters of
this great metropolis to her brave champions in
the field, and that they will anxiously watch
your career, gloi ijying in your heroism, ministering to you when wounded and ill, and honoring your martyrdom with benedictions and' with
tears.

Would any stranger, unacquainted with tbe fashionable and wealthy names ofour eity, suppose it
possible that tbe abiv- comprises the elite of this
metropolis? Yet it is too true tbat they do. Net
that ihey comprise all. for New York oily, thank
God, have a wealthy class not given over to this
disgusting delusion—true men and women, who
amid general jmpuiity, have preserved themselves
from tbe prevailing comamii ation. Yet it must
be confessed tbat a large majority, doubtless, of
our wealthier classes are tainted to a greater < j
less degree with the Abolition delusion and for
this reason present tbe above lamentable picture
of themselves —N. Y. Day Book.
Cox on Preachers*
In[tbe House of Representatives, Mr. Cox. of
Ohio, in discussing the proposition to amend the
enrollment bill by exempting ministers ofthe
gospel, said.
" I am opposed to exempting ministers of the
gospel from their share of ihe duty of putting down
this rebellion. It is a general belief among a large
part of the people of this country, both Horth and
South, that the most pestiferous class of human beings—thoBe who have fomented secession at tbe
South and disunion at the North—bave been the
elergymen. And they are still fomenting hate, ill
will, and unkindess among the people. And now,
gentlemen como bere and say that their profession
forbids them to engage in the shedding of blood,
and that therefore they should be exempt from
military service. Sir, I cannot recognize that as
any argument for such exemption. I am opposed
,-to this class of legislation. I cannot recognize any
different^ between ministers of lhe gospel and men
belonging to any other profession. After all it is
nothing but a business, and in the matter of allegiance every man, whatever may be his business
owes his allegiance to his country".'
"My colleague [Mr. Spalding] thinks I am mistaken when 1 say tbat rebelion has been fomented
by ministers of tbe gospel. South and North. My
colleague said in his speech the other day that ha
had shaken bands with rebels on Johnson's island,
and that he would rather shake hands with such
rebels than with some men on this side ot thia
House.
" You were at home shaking hands with rebels,
I was not here when you made that reference or I
could have given you something more than mere
words about loyally and patriotism. I would have
proved you to be a seditious man. " My colleague
has been himself engaged, along with ministers of
the gospel in his own district, singing anthems and
glorifying old John Brown's sedition. [Lauihgter.]
More than tbat, sir, my collegue was engaged again
and again in Ohio in trying to break down the laws
of lhe United Sutej, and I can prove him from
papers in my desk to be a seditionist and revolutionist, * He is a conspirator against the Federal
Government.
"lean prove, by papers in my hand, ifl had
time to do it, that the gentleman, along with these
ministers who would now be exempted, have for
years persistently rebelled against the Federal
Government, have striven to stir up hate and re-
revolution between the States, to imbroil them in
conflict, and by violence to overturn laws which
had been decided to be valid by the Supreme Court
ol the United States. You presided over a convention called for that purpose, and you are not the
man, sir to impugn my loyalty ! I stood here fighting against secession and revolution, while y u, ia
Ohio, during all thai time, were alienating the
sections and producing civil war by your insurrret-
onary and rebellions conduct."
It is said that Mr. Spalding, cowered and squirm-
el under the lash of his colleague like a whipppad
spaniel.

TERMS. CASH. fo The Abolitionists and the Negro-Caustic Strictures, The Edinburg Review has an article on "The Negro Race in America" which would appear to bave been written by some Abolition fanatic whether English or Yankee, who had never read anything but Abolition tracts and abolition neswspapers, who know nothing whatever about the institutions of the South, or about the character of the negro, who geis his facts from Butler and Seward, and his philosophy from Beecher and Wendell Phillips, it is quite possible for such a writer to believe that the negro race have been intelligently awaiting emancipation ; that they are as capable and more moral than whites ; that they work better as freemen than as slaves, and that they have submitted so long to slavery only because they shrank from incurring the bloodshed and confusion which must follow a servile revolt. It is possible for such a writer to fancy that the negroes have.been ill treated by the Sooth an'd kindly received by the North ,• that they love the Yanke'e and hate the Southerners ; tbat they act as northern spies, a'nd not as Confedarate ssjouts; that they do soldiers' service in the Federal armies, and have in that capacity achieved victories worthy of remembrance. The fact is tbat the whole negro population, with here and there an exception, has been happy and contented in slavery ; that tbe free nogro is utterly unable to take care of himself in the midst ofa superior number of whites ; that he will do no work at all, and is one of the most miserable beings in creation. Such is the experience of the Uuited Slates, north and south ; such is the experience of our own West India Islands, in one of which tbe free negroes lately got up a rebellion of which the object was to plunder all the pro^ perty of the whites, to gain possession of the women and to massacre all the men. The negroes of the southern States were a happier and higher species ; tbey wefe well fed and kindly treated, and devotedly attached to their masters' families. In the North they were ill-used, spurned and spit upon flogged out of one State; fined if they set foot in another ; in no State out of New England admitted to the privileges of citizenship. Consequently, when the war broke out the negroes were enthusiastically loyal to their masters. When Lincoln's proclamation was issued the Abolitionists—who expected and hoped, who passionately proclaimed tbeir hope, that the negroes would rise upon their masters' families, and enact throughout the South the horrible scenes of Delhi and Cawnpore—were bitterly disappointed.—Tbe negroes remajn quite and loyal, Berving the Confederates so faithfully and zealously, that the sober sort of northern officers began to find out that an intelligent contraband meant a Confederate spy. And so they have remained, except w'hen tbey have been dragged forcibly away from their homes to serve or die under Yankee colors, or when left for months under Yankee control, they have been debauched and brutalized by drink, by license, and by the preaching of Mr. Beecher's disciples, who teach the famous creed of "hell fire for the leaders and Greek fire for the masses." So the wretched slaves who have fallen into northern hands either die by thousands of want, cold and nakedness—and tens of thousands have so perished—or being completely debauched, are employed as the tools of northern vengeance : now in a des» trnctive expendition, which bqrns and plunders, but dares not fight; now in murdering old men and children ; now in outraging the unhappy inhabitants of the districts which have fallen into northern hands. Their militarv achievements bave been confined to three forms of service—they have burned unresisting towns like Darien ; they have committed ma sacres like that of Beckham's Landing ; they have been the tools of Federal cruelty and vindi- cativeness, as they are at Norfolk ; they have never done anything in the field of battle, except when driven on by Yankee bayonets, they have screened the craven soldiery of Massachusetts from tbe fire of Confederate batteries. The most remarkable of their exploits is one of whicb tbe full history has not yet reached us ; but it appears that they mutinied at Fort Jackson, murdered their white officers, and beat off a force sent against them. Thus tbeir only success in fighting has been obtained over the Yankees, and not in their service. At Norfolk, under tbe congenial leadership of "the infamous" General Butfer, they are no doubt fulfilling the heart's'desire of their emancipators by tormenting, insulting and vexing in every pos- I sible way tbe wretched inhabitants. These are 1 detained by force, and are not allowed to cross the Confederate lines, nor yet to leave under Federal rule without takin" not'one, but twenty oaths of allegence. If a man desires to make a purchase, to recover stolen property, to perform any of the most necessary duties of civilized life be finds lhat he must take an oath of alligeance to a government wbicb he loathes and detests and on each occasion a new oath is required. Women, also are subject to this law, and what is worse, no protection from the f. ulest insaulls is allowed to any one who does not swear in theiirescribed forin —When General Butler issued bis proclamation authorizing bis troops to treat the ladies of New Orleans as women of tbe town playing their vocartion, some very unscrupulous^persons here and in America tried to argue that be did not mean what he said ; tbat be only intended a brutal and black-guard insult, not a lscense of outrage. We beg to call the attention of these persons to the fact that, as if r/ith a deliberate intent to give them tbe lie, their honorable client has new notified to the negro troops at Norfolk, and to the white women living there, that no protection against outrage will be given to any woman who bas not taken the oath of alligence, that is to say all women who remain obstinately loyal to the State of Virginia are given up to . the brutality of the negro rable, on whose hanks Mr. Lincoln has thought fit to put a uniform tbat has been worn by McClellan and Eosecrans. Nor is this an idle threat. Two women who refused to betray certain guerrillas into tbe hands of these blackscoun- drels, were by them Btripped naked, flogged, and kept exposed for a whole night to the inclement wintry weather. Tha subordinates of General Butler openly proclaimed tbeir desire to let the negro troops loose on the white population, with full permission to massacre and pillage, and negro meetings are held to discuss the expediency of commencing such a proceeding without orders. They house where they will, and take what they will; and lately, a dying man, with a family of eight children, was turned into the street by them. Schools were broken up, women insulted in lhe streets, children imprisoned fcr daring to make remarks offensive to negro vanity! and finally, to complete the misery ofthe people, a conscription is threatened which will drive the few able-bodied men tbat still remain there into tbe ranks of their tyrants to fight against their countrymen, all these things are done under the eye of the Federal Government, and with its full sanction and approval. What opinion, then, must J&e form of the character of the man who is at its Tiead, with absolute and uncontrolled power, and by whose command these.dastardly crimes are committed? We may see in tbese atrocities a practical confession that the Federal Government utterly despairs of tbe professed object of its efforts. If it really hoped to conquer the South in the only way in which the conquest of the great territory was ever effected, by beating and vexing the people into submission, it would not proclaim to them lbat if tbey submit tbey shall be treated with more brutality than savages are wont to show to their vanquished enemies. When we see the negro encouraged to lord it over white men and to scourge white women; when we see a southern district deliberately placed at the mercy ofa ruffian like Butler, we kuow at once that the North is simply seeking vengeance, not victory. It is impossible for any people willing to yield themselves, to such a fate as this.—London Herald. Aristocracy and Africans—The Negri, Regiment Reception by the fifth Avenue Fashionables. Fifth avenue has been in a blaze of glory during the past week. The philosophy of amalgamation, seductively veiled under the new term "miscegenation" seems to be fully adopted by tbe kid-gloved and sweet-scented fashionables of that highly aristocratic street. The pet soldiers of Fifth avenue are black men. The poor white trash who fight the batlesof Abolition are now looked upon with eoolness and disdain, and as unworthy of flags, grand receptions and the "love and honor" of fair ladies. On Saturday last, a negrojregjment recruited from all the stray niggers that could be found lying about loose, took its departure from Biker's Island, for New OrleanB. They landed at tbe foot of the twenty-sixth street E. R., and took up their iine of march for Union square, where the loyal league Club rooms are located. Every darkey in Brooklyn, Jersey City and New Yorfc had turned out for the occis i n Rows of shining ivory lined the streets, and jolly Abolitionists stretched their faces in the light at the grand display which they supposed so chagrined the copperheads. They anticipated or feared there would be some demonstration rg.iiBt tbeir proteges, and hence whole platoons of policemen were on hand to protect the blessed darkeys. Copperheads however are a liberty-loving people, and have no objection to all Fifth avenue sleeping with tbe darkeys, if tbey choose to do so. But it Ib proper to state tbat the negroes were kept as much as possible out of Democratic localities. Filth avenue and upper Broadway were the scenes of Ihe disgraceful fandango. If the Bowery or,Mackeri lville had been visited, it is most likely that Sambo would have seen some evidence of the existenee of that healthy inBtinct wbich Nature always manifests—where it has not been corupted and debauched, as in tbe Fifth avenue, by reading nigger novels and "mis- cegeneiiou" tracts. Poverty has its compensations. Those who cannot afford to read tbe debauched literature of the present day are saved from i curse which riches almost inevitably brings. Let Ihe poor thank God aod take courage, If He denies them wealth, He at least eaves them from degradation of Fifth avenue ! If the poor wonan who sits in "unwomanly rags" and plies hi»r needle for bread, cannot afford to clothe her body in velvet and ermines, she at least bas the satisfaction to know that her mind is not tainted with a leprosy more foul than the physical infirmity which afflicted Naaman, and which required a seven times washing iu Jordan to eradicate. Among those who took part in the reception of the negro regiment, a reporter of one of tbe city pipers mentions the following!; "Professor Ring of Columbia College, E. O. Cowdin, Wm. E. Dodge Judge, Kirkland,Mr. Bancroft, John Jay, Professor Lieber, Col. G. Bliss, Vineent Collyer, and a large number if ladies—some of them members of Mr. King's fanvly. Adjaoent to the platform were the Rev. Dr. Tyng Rev. S. H. Tyng, Jr., Rev. Dr. Garnett, Rev.' Mr. Leveridge, &o. "Mr. King presented tbe flig of the negroes on behalf of the Fifth avenue "ladies" saying among other ihings ; Tbe flag which I bold In my hand to be placed in yours, tells its own story. The oon- qnering eagle, tbe armed figure of liberty^ tha broken yoke, speak as plainly as symbols oan of God and liberty,—of right of freedom, and the overthrow of slavery." If more were needed to proclaim the object of the war. this could be adduced, but no more is needed, Mr King simply fills up the testimony. Tbe most noticeable feature of this disgusting affair is the presentation to these negroes of an address, by "the fair daughters of this city" signed, says one of the papers, "by their own fair hands." We give this precious document below, in fall, with all the signatures attached in order that it may be preserved in our files. It will be delightful reading a few years hence, when these silly and deluded women would gladly hide themselves in their graves if they could thereby wipe out tbe foul disgrace of this beastly document. "Love and honor" to negroes! Great GodI Fifth avenue is sinking a thousand times lower than the Five Points. But bere is the sweet morceaa : To the Officers and Men of the Twentieth United States Colored Troops. Soldiers :—We. the moihers, wives and sisters of the mexbers of the New York Union League Club, of whose liberality and intelligent patriotism and under whose direct auspices yon have been organized into a body of national troops for the defense of the Union, earnestly sympathizing ia lhe.great cause of American frea. nationality, and desirous of testifying, by some memorial, our profound sense ofthe Bacred object and the holy cause, in behalf of which you have enlisted, have prepared for you tbis banner, at once the emblem of freedom and faith, and the eymboh of woman's best wishes and prayers for our country, and especially for your devotion thereto. When you look at this flag and rush to battle, or stand at guard beueatb its sublime motto, "God and Liberty !" remember that it is also an emblem of love and honor from (he daughters of this great metropolis to her brave champions in the field, and that they will anxiously watch your career, gloi ijying in your heroism, ministering to you when wounded and ill, and honoring your martyrdom with benedictions and' with tears. [We are compelled to omit the long list of signatures for the want of space.—Editor Star.] Would any stranger, unacquainted with tbe fashionable and wealthy names ofour eity, suppose it possible that tbe abiv- comprises the elite of this metropolis? Yet it is too true tbat they do. Net that ihey comprise all. for New York oily, thank God, have a wealthy class not given over to this disgusting delusion—true men and women, who amid general jmpuiity, have preserved themselves from tbe prevailing comamii ation. Yet it must be confessed tbat a large majority, doubtless, of our wealthier classes are tainted to a greater < j less degree with the Abolition delusion and for this reason present tbe above lamentable picture of themselves —N. Y. Day Book. Cox on Preachers* In[tbe House of Representatives, Mr. Cox. of Ohio, in discussing the proposition to amend the enrollment bill by exempting ministers ofthe gospel, said. " I am opposed to exempting ministers of the gospel from their share of ihe duty of putting down this rebellion. It is a general belief among a large part of the people of this country, both Horth and South, that the most pestiferous class of human beings—thoBe who have fomented secession at tbe South and disunion at the North—bave been the elergymen. And they are still fomenting hate, ill will, and unkindess among the people. And now, gentlemen como bere and say that their profession forbids them to engage in the shedding of blood, and that therefore they should be exempt from military service. Sir, I cannot recognize that as any argument for such exemption. I am opposed ,-to this class of legislation. I cannot recognize any different^ between ministers of lhe gospel and men belonging to any other profession. After all it is nothing but a business, and in the matter of allegiance every man, whatever may be his business owes his allegiance to his country".' "My colleague [Mr. Spalding] thinks I am mistaken when 1 say tbat rebelion has been fomented by ministers of tbe gospel. South and North. My colleague said in his speech the other day that ha had shaken bands with rebels on Johnson's island, and that he would rather shake hands with such rebels than with some men on this side ot thia House. " You were at home shaking hands with rebels, I was not here when you made that reference or I could have given you something more than mere words about loyally and patriotism. I would have proved you to be a seditious man. " My colleague has been himself engaged, along with ministers of the gospel in his own district, singing anthems and glorifying old John Brown's sedition. [Lauihgter.] More than tbat, sir, my collegue was engaged again and again in Ohio in trying to break down the laws of lhe United Sutej, and I can prove him from papers in my desk to be a seditionist and revolutionist, * He is a conspirator against the Federal Government. "lean prove, by papers in my hand, ifl had time to do it, that the gentleman, along with these ministers who would now be exempted, have for years persistently rebelled against the Federal Government, have striven to stir up hate and re- revolution between the States, to imbroil them in conflict, and by violence to overturn laws which had been decided to be valid by the Supreme Court ol the United States. You presided over a convention called for that purpose, and you are not the man, sir to impugn my loyalty ! I stood here fighting against secession and revolution, while y u, ia Ohio, during all thai time, were alienating the sections and producing civil war by your insurrret- onary and rebellions conduct." It is said that Mr. Spalding, cowered and squirm- el under the lash of his colleague like a whipppad spaniel. ■__■ CO co co CM — o CO CM — ^- CO CM 1^- CM ~ — CO CM O — ID CM — CM o>_ CO CM CM CM — CM pi — o CM — 0> co S._ — 1^ — co |
