Massachusetts and -Virginia—1775 and 1850.
A THRILLING INCIDENT.
Pending the contest for the election of Syeaker
of tbe House of Representatives in 1860, tbe Hon.
Mr. Boteler, of tbe Harper's Perry District, In
Virginia spoke as follows :
"When, sir, I bave beard the name of a gentleman called here day after day, first on tbe roll—
a great historic name (Mr. Adams)—I have been
reminded of Massachusetts in ber prouder day, in
the heroic age of tbe Repnblio. I bave been reminded of a historical incident connected with tbe
eounty in which I live—that eonnty selected by
John Brown for his bloody raid, and feel tbat 1
bave a right to appeal to the Massachusetts delegation here, if they are not deaf to the voice of
consanguinity ; and if tbey are, I appeal from
them to their people on this question; I demand of
tbem lo come np to tbe rescue of tbe country now
as they did in tbe good old times of tbe revolutionary fathers. The district whicb I represent and
the county where I live, that the couuty made
famous by the raid of Brown, was the flrst, tbe
very first in all tbe South, to send succor to Massachusetts io tbe time of ber direst necessity? In
one of tbe most beautiful spots in tbat beautiful
country, wilh n rifle shot of my residence, at the
b-.se of a hill, where a glorious spring leaps out
into tbe sunlight from beneath tbe gnarled roots
of a thunder-riven oak, there assembled on the
10th of July, 1775, the very first band of Southern
men wbo marched to tbe aid of Massachusetts.
Tbey met tbere then, and their rallying cry was,
"a bee line for Boston." Tbat peaceful valley—
the "valley of the Shenandoah"—had Dever been
polluted by the footsteps of a foe ; for even tbe
Indians themselves bad, according to tradition,
kept it free Irom the incursions of their enemies.
Il wae the bunting range and neutral of tbe Aborigines. Tbe homes of those wbo lived tbere then
were far beyond the reach of danger. But Boston
was beleaguered. The hearths of your fathers
were threatened witb pollution, and the fathers of
those whom I represent rallied to their protection.
"They left the plowshare in the mould,
Tbeir flocks and herds without a fold,
Ttie sickle in tbe unsborn grain,
Tbeir coin half garnered on the plain,
And'mustered iu tbeir simple dress,
For wrongs of yours to redress.
"Thus they mustered round the spring I speak
ot, and from tbence they made their 'bee line for
Boston.' Before they marched, they made a
pledge that all wbo survived would assemble there
fifty years after that day. It is my pride aod
pleasure to remember that I, though but a cbild
then, waa present when the fifty years rolled round
Three aged, feeble, tottering men—the survivors
of that glorious band of one hundred and twenty
were all who were left to keep the tryste, aod be
faithful to the pledge made fifty years before to
their companions ; the bones of most of tbem had
been left bleaching on your northern hills. Sir,
I have often heard from the last survivor of that
band ot patriots the incidents of their first
meetings and their march ; how they made some
six hundred miles in thirty days—twenty miles a
day ; and how as tbey neared the point of tbeir
destination, Washington, who happened to be
making a recoonoissanee in the neighborhood, saw
ihem approaching and recognizing the linsey-
woolsey bunting shirts of old Virginia, galloped
up to meet and greet them in the camp; how
when be saw their captain, his old companion in
arms, Stephenson, wbo had stood by his side at
tbe Great Meadows, and Bradock's fatal field; and
in tbe indian campaigns—who reported himself to
bis commander as 'from the right bank of tbe Potomac'—ha. sprang from bis horse and clapped bis
old friend and commander in arms wilh both bands.
He spoke no word of welcome, but the eloquence
of silence told wbat his tongue could not articulate. He moved along the ranks, sbakiog tbe
hands of each, from man to man, aod all the while
as my informer told me, the big tears were seen
rolling down his cheeks.
"Ay, sir, Washington wept! And why did the
glorious soul of Washington swell with emotion ?
Sir, they were tears of joy 1 and he wept because
he saw tbat the cause of Massachusets was practically the cause of Virginia; because be saw that her
citizens recognized the great principles involved
in tbe contest. The Virginia volunteers had come
spontaneously. Tbey had come in response to
the words of ber Henry, tbat were leaping like
live thunder through tbe land, telling tbe people
tbey must fight, and fight for Massachusetts. Tbey
bad come to rally witb Washington to defend your
firesides, to protect their friends from harm. Well
the visit bas been returned.
"Johu Brown selected, the very county, whose
citizens went so promptly to tbe aid of the North
when tbe North needed aid, as the most appropriate place io the South to carry out the doctrines
ofthe irrepressible conflict; and as was mentioned
in the Senate yesterday, tbe rock where Leeman
fell was the rock over which Morgan and his men
marched a few hours after Stephenson's command
bad crossed the river some ten miles further up.
May ibis historical reminiscence rekindle the
embers of patriotism io our hearts 1 Why should
tbis nation of ours be rent io pieces by this 'irrepressible conflict." Ia it'irrepressible!' The baU
tie will oot be fought out on this floor, for when
the dark day comes—as come it may—When the
question tbat now divides and agitates the hearts
of tbe people, shall be thrust from tbe forum of
debate to be decided by tbe bloody arbitrament
of the sword, it will be tbe saddest day for us and
all mankind that tbe sun of heaven has ever shone
upon.*'
Mrs. Sigourney's Poem.—On reading the above
thrilling sketch, Mrs. Sigourney, submitted tbe
following lines to Mr. Boteler, wbich, it will
be seen br the note appended, sbe subsequently
permitted bim to republish. They appeared in the
Washington National Intelligencer:
Hartford, February 20, 1860.

an incident or 1776.
A gathering in Virginia's vales, 'mid Summer's
velvet green
Where fair Potomac sparkling flows, its fringed
banks between ;
Far echoes from New England's hills, of strife and
danger came,
And Henry's eloquence had stirred men's souls
like living flame.
Then from the throng, with patriot zeal, stood
forth a noble band,
Twice sixty dauntless votunieers enlisted heart
aod band,
Their's was no promoting thirst of fame—of gliter-
ing gold no greed,
"For Massachusetts" was the cry, "lor Boston" in
their ueed.
And each to each a sacred vow, made 'mid the
parting pain,
When fifty years away had sped, to seek that spot
again :
Those that tbe shafts of death might spare,beneatb
yon oak tree's shade,
Wonld meet beside tbe diamond spring, such solemn tryste they made.
Oh I tbere was sorrow 'neath the roof of many a
household tent,
And burning tears fell thijk and fast when from
their homes they went;
But to their little ones tbey said and bade tbem
well take beed,
'Heaven will not smile on tbose who fail to help
their brother's need."
Hundreds of miles o'er rock andstone,througb forests thorny breast,
O'er bridgele*s streams, o'er trackless wilds, witb
patient toil tbey prest.
While ever in their sec et soul gleamed au unfaltering creed,
Like pole star of their weary course—"To help
our brothers' need"
The king of men oppressed with care, rode forth
at closing day,
And saw Virginia's armed host approach in firm
array,
And knew tbe bearing of tbeir chief who, on the
fatal plain,
Had fought with him at Braddock's side when
blood tell down like rain.
Tben, leaping from his lofty steed he clasped bim
to bis breast,
And one by one, each soldier's band, with greeting
fervor prest,
Why was the eye of Washingtod suffused with gushing tears?
Why beav'd that hero heart so high, tbat never
throbb'd with fear ?
He read God's blessing In the love of that fraternal band ;
He mark'd the triumph, through the gloom tbat
wrapped au infant land.
Perchance, with his prophetic glanoe, who first on
Nobo stood.
Beheld a glorious realm unfold, like rainbow o'er
the flood.
Years rolled away, and lustrums fled, and half a
century closed,
Its cycle, and with swaolike dirge, 'mid ages past
reposed ;
But, true to their remember'd tryste, Potomac's
veterans drew,
Where, by the oak tree's gnarled roots, the spring
fresh crystals threw.
Tbey came—but not twice sixty men, in martial
vigor bold ;
For some tbeir bleaching bones had lain on Northern hillocks cold.
They came. Who oame? Three aged forms, by
time and changes bowed ;
Yet was no winter iu their hearts, though snows
their temples shroud.
For power, and wealth, and honor blest the country if their birth,
Who proudly reared ber starry crest among the
Queens of Earth ;
Aod warmly rose tbeir patriot prayer, that long
ber sacred aik,
Immaculate, and angel-steer'd, might ride the bil
lows dark.
Who Thet are.—The New York World names
the following as some of tbe different classes wbo
will support the next Abolition candidate for President :
1. All tbe howling, bloodthirsty fanatics from
Maine to California.
2. Every blaspheming infidel and atheist in tbe
country.
3. The filthy practicers of tbe doctrine of miscegenation ; every oue of them.
i. Every idle and dissolute negro.
5. All tbe thievish shoddy contractors—the vultures wbo fatten on the public waste and offal of
the state.
6. Tbe army of corrupt office-holders.
7. The great stock-gamblers, without exception.
8. All the speculators and extortioners wbo are
running up prices at the expense of the poor.
9. The men who pay poor sewing-women starvation prices for work on army clothing.
Tiie Abolition TrlnHy -- War, Pestilence and
Famine.
" Sro-rTED Fevbk—We learn that this fatal and
dreaded disease has broken out witb great virulence
at Salem, Ind. Four persons were bnried in that
town on Friday last who had died from it, and onr
informant states that four others could not possibly
live tbrongb Friday night. A number of new cases were reported."—Indianapolis Sentinel.
After a great war tbere always comes pestilence
and famine, the three greatest corses that ever set
upon makind. Of the three war is tbe greatest, and
by way of precedence is always mentioned first in
Holy Writ. War produces pestilence and famine.
Il produces tbe latter by the withdrawal of men
from agriculture for the purpose of making them
food for tbe cannons mouth. Hundreds of thousands ; yea millions, oi able-bodied men are tnrned
from producers of food into the most watchful consumers. Food will be scarce and high tbis year
under tbe best state, but if we should have a poor
or indifferent harvest, tben God Bave the poor, wa
shall have a dreadful famine in tbe Und. Pestilence is bred in the camps and by the terrible exposures of the soldiers to the elements and to death
iu new and strange shapes. It is more than likely
that this war will be followed np by a terfiblo
pestilence that will slay as many victims as the
war. Already we hear in some sections of tbe
Union new and strange contagious diseases. Tha
Abolition trinity of fight, tax and emancipate will
produce another trinity—war, pestilence and famine.
But in spite of its terrible ends, present and prospective, we are told that this war is such an excellent, such a glorious thing that it will not do
at all so stop it. It must go on, although the
whole country famishes and dies.
In some of the lowest and most degraded African tribes there bave been found instances where
hideous snakes were worshiped as Gods, and where
the people starved themselves in order to feed horrid monsters. So wilh us th_ war demon must be
fed, although he devours and consumes the very
vitals of the community. We have chosen Moloch
as our God, and to him we propose to offer up the
last dollar and the last man. Our radical Abolitionists are like Clootz, the crazy French Jacobin,
who declared, in tbe French Revolution, that the
triumph of his principles would be cheaply purchased by tbe sacrifice ot tbe whole human race !
They never think that if the last dollar and the last
man is given to Moloch, It matters but little afte_
that what kind of institutions ne have.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Negro Equality.—Tbe St. Louts Demoorat, a
leading Abolition organ, contained in its issue ol
the 15th inst, tbe report of a dinner given in memory of the viotory at Pea Ridge, at which several prominent Generals were present and made
speeches. We take the following from the Democrat's report:
General McNeil responded, and in tbe course of
bis remarks said tbat hereafter tbe elective franchise should be extended to all who fight tor tbe
country, without regard to nationality or color.—
[Generals Gi ay and Rosecrans: "That's right;
that's right."]
Generals -Rosecrans Baid he fully ccncnrred in
wbat bad been eaid about black soldiers General
McNeil bas told you he thought that every black
man wbo fought for the country should hare a
A JLoyal Leaguer Backed Down.
One day a short time since, a prominent Democratic citizen and a Loyal League lawyer of thlg
place were discussing national politics, when the
Ltaguer remarked that the course of the Democrat tended to discourage enlistments. To this
tbe Democrat demurred, and said tbat tbe Leaguer
was a hypocrite, and offered to test bis sincerity
by volunteering if he would. To tbis the Leaguer
assented, and both repaired to the recruiting;
office of Col. Logan, and gave tbeir consent to be
sworn-into tbe service of tbe United States ; they
held up their bands and tbe Colonel commenced
reading tbe oath, and bad proceeded about half
way wilh it, when the "loyal" and patriotio Leaguer suddenly jerked down his hand and exclaimed, "tbis is carrying tbe joke most too tar!" lem-
pora ! O mores.'— Carlinville Spectator.
We know of a similar,bnt still stronger case.—•
In 1862, when volunteers were being made np in
this county for the 30th Regiment, a noisy gasbag ofthe League persuasion at Sparta, taunted a
sterling Democrat of tbe Bame place with secesh
proclivities, to which the Democrat retorted by
proposing that tbey both volunteer in a company
tben forming in town. Mr Leaguer, pledged himself to do so. The Democrat volunteered and was
sworn into the service, bnt tbe loyal Leaguer
thought that was ''carrying the joke too far," and
staid valiantly at home. The Democrat was made
a Lieutenant, served bravely through tbe summer
campaign, and when Lincoln'* Abolition proclamation was issued resigned, as every white man
ought to have done, and he a man of sense aud a
patriot, voted for a Democrat the other day. The
Leaguer is still at home, and still thinks the De-
mocrat wbo went into the army and fought bravely, "a traitor and a copperhead."
As a rule, it can be said tbat these Leaguers,
bere at borne, are practical traitors, and wbat is
almost as detestable, tbe most object cowards on
tbe face of the earth.—'Chester (Bl.) Picket
Guard.
Judge William Wain Drinker of New York,
while addressing the Assembly Committee on- Cities at Albany, in tbe Committee room, in relation
to tbe New York Tax Levy suddenly fell down
and immediately expired. He bad just closed a
part of bis argument, which was cheered by those
present, and was quite excited upon the topics ba
was discussing. The committee room was filled
witb spectators, mostly from New York. Dr. Williams ofthe Assembly was immediately sent for
bnt when he reached tbe room tbe Judge was
dead. The cause was supposed to be disease of
the heart. The Aesemmbly was in session at the
time, and tbe death of Judge Drinker was announced by Mr Bobbinson, Chairman of tbe committee on Cities, whereupon tbe House adjourned.
Senator Fields also appropriately noticed the
event lu tbe Senate. Coroner Meiz held an inquest, which resulted in a verdict ot death by di»
sease of the heart. Tbe remains were forwarded
to New York by tbe boat, in oharge of the friends
of tbe deceased.
The Albany Statesman, one of the savage type
ol Republican papers says:
"The proud and onmerous party whicb was represented in tbe Convention at Chicago, no longer
retains an existence. It bas been dissipated by
the action of its chosen head. Tbe Administration
therefore, stands in tbe anomalous and painful
position of having no organized political support
outside ef the circle of bis own cffice-holdera and
retainers—a very noisy but by no means control!-,
ing faction."

Pending the contest for the election of Syeaker of tbe House of Representatives in 1860, tbe Hon. Mr. Boteler, of tbe Harper's Perry District, In Virginia spoke as follows : "When, sir, I bave beard the name of a gentleman called here day after day, first on tbe roll— a great historic name (Mr. Adams)—I have been reminded of Massachusetts in ber prouder day, in the heroic age of tbe Repnblio. I bave been reminded of a historical incident connected with tbe eounty in which I live—that eonnty selected by John Brown for his bloody raid, and feel tbat 1 bave a right to appeal to the Massachusetts delegation here, if they are not deaf to the voice of consanguinity ; and if tbey are, I appeal from them to their people on this question; I demand of tbem lo come np to tbe rescue of tbe country now as they did in tbe good old times of tbe revolutionary fathers. The district whicb I represent and the county where I live, that the couuty made famous by the raid of Brown, was the flrst, tbe very first in all tbe South, to send succor to Massachusetts io tbe time of ber direst necessity? In one of tbe most beautiful spots in tbat beautiful country, wilh n rifle shot of my residence, at the b-.se of a hill, where a glorious spring leaps out into tbe sunlight from beneath tbe gnarled roots of a thunder-riven oak, there assembled on the 10th of July, 1775, the very first band of Southern men wbo marched to tbe aid of Massachusetts. Tbey met tbere then, and their rallying cry was, "a bee line for Boston." Tbat peaceful valley— the "valley of the Shenandoah"—had Dever been polluted by the footsteps of a foe ; for even tbe Indians themselves bad, according to tradition, kept it free Irom the incursions of their enemies. Il wae the bunting range and neutral of tbe Aborigines. Tbe homes of those wbo lived tbere then were far beyond the reach of danger. But Boston was beleaguered. The hearths of your fathers were threatened witb pollution, and the fathers of those whom I represent rallied to their protection. "They left the plowshare in the mould, Tbeir flocks and herds without a fold, Ttie sickle in tbe unsborn grain, Tbeir coin half garnered on the plain, And'mustered iu tbeir simple dress, For wrongs of yours to redress. "Thus they mustered round the spring I speak ot, and from tbence they made their 'bee line for Boston.' Before they marched, they made a pledge that all wbo survived would assemble there fifty years after that day. It is my pride aod pleasure to remember that I, though but a cbild then, waa present when the fifty years rolled round Three aged, feeble, tottering men—the survivors of that glorious band of one hundred and twenty were all who were left to keep the tryste, aod be faithful to the pledge made fifty years before to their companions ; the bones of most of tbem had been left bleaching on your northern hills. Sir, I have often heard from the last survivor of that band ot patriots the incidents of their first meetings and their march ; how they made some six hundred miles in thirty days—twenty miles a day ; and how as tbey neared the point of tbeir destination, Washington, who happened to be making a recoonoissanee in the neighborhood, saw ihem approaching and recognizing the linsey- woolsey bunting shirts of old Virginia, galloped up to meet and greet them in the camp; how when be saw their captain, his old companion in arms, Stephenson, wbo had stood by his side at tbe Great Meadows, and Bradock's fatal field; and in tbe indian campaigns—who reported himself to bis commander as 'from the right bank of tbe Potomac'—ha. sprang from bis horse and clapped bis old friend and commander in arms wilh both bands. He spoke no word of welcome, but the eloquence of silence told wbat his tongue could not articulate. He moved along the ranks, sbakiog tbe hands of each, from man to man, aod all the while as my informer told me, the big tears were seen rolling down his cheeks. "Ay, sir, Washington wept! And why did the glorious soul of Washington swell with emotion ? Sir, they were tears of joy 1 and he wept because he saw tbat the cause of Massachusets was practically the cause of Virginia; because be saw that her citizens recognized the great principles involved in tbe contest. The Virginia volunteers had come spontaneously. Tbey had come in response to the words of ber Henry, tbat were leaping like live thunder through tbe land, telling tbe people tbey must fight, and fight for Massachusetts. Tbey bad come to rally witb Washington to defend your firesides, to protect their friends from harm. Well the visit bas been returned. "Johu Brown selected, the very county, whose citizens went so promptly to tbe aid of the North when tbe North needed aid, as the most appropriate place io the South to carry out the doctrines ofthe irrepressible conflict; and as was mentioned in the Senate yesterday, tbe rock where Leeman fell was the rock over which Morgan and his men marched a few hours after Stephenson's command bad crossed the river some ten miles further up. May ibis historical reminiscence rekindle the embers of patriotism io our hearts 1 Why should tbis nation of ours be rent io pieces by this 'irrepressible conflict." Ia it'irrepressible!' The baU tie will oot be fought out on this floor, for when the dark day comes—as come it may—When the question tbat now divides and agitates the hearts of tbe people, shall be thrust from tbe forum of debate to be decided by tbe bloody arbitrament of the sword, it will be tbe saddest day for us and all mankind that tbe sun of heaven has ever shone upon.*' Mrs. Sigourney's Poem.—On reading the above thrilling sketch, Mrs. Sigourney, submitted tbe following lines to Mr. Boteler, wbich, it will be seen br the note appended, sbe subsequently permitted bim to republish. They appeared in the Washington National Intelligencer: Hartford, February 20, 1860. Mr Dear Sib : 1 ihauk you earnestly for tbe letter of the last survivor of lhat patriotio band who nobly matched from the Ancient Dominion to i vote; so do I, so do I, eta. the aid ot Massachusetts in 1776. It ia indeed very kind of you lo Bend a precious gift wbicb shall be preserved wilh my most treasured autographs. I recollect no incident in onr revolution. ary history more graphic In its character tban that witb which you have so eloquently closed your speech of ihe 25th ultimo. The poem meutiooed In your note is entirely at yonr disposal, and I am, Yours with"great respect. L. H. SIGOURNEY. Hon. Alexander R. Boteler, of Virginia ; House of Representatives. an incident or 1776. A gathering in Virginia's vales, 'mid Summer's velvet green Where fair Potomac sparkling flows, its fringed banks between ; Far echoes from New England's hills, of strife and danger came, And Henry's eloquence had stirred men's souls like living flame. Then from the throng, with patriot zeal, stood forth a noble band, Twice sixty dauntless votunieers enlisted heart aod band, Their's was no promoting thirst of fame—of gliter- ing gold no greed, "For Massachusetts" was the cry, "lor Boston" in their ueed. And each to each a sacred vow, made 'mid the parting pain, When fifty years away had sped, to seek that spot again : Those that tbe shafts of death might spare,beneatb yon oak tree's shade, Wonld meet beside tbe diamond spring, such solemn tryste they made. Oh I tbere was sorrow 'neath the roof of many a household tent, And burning tears fell thijk and fast when from their homes they went; But to their little ones tbey said and bade tbem well take beed, 'Heaven will not smile on tbose who fail to help their brother's need." Hundreds of miles o'er rock andstone,througb forests thorny breast, O'er bridgele*s streams, o'er trackless wilds, witb patient toil tbey prest. While ever in their sec et soul gleamed au unfaltering creed, Like pole star of their weary course—"To help our brothers' need" The king of men oppressed with care, rode forth at closing day, And saw Virginia's armed host approach in firm array, And knew tbe bearing of tbeir chief who, on the fatal plain, Had fought with him at Braddock's side when blood tell down like rain. Tben, leaping from his lofty steed he clasped bim to bis breast, And one by one, each soldier's band, with greeting fervor prest, Why was the eye of Washingtod suffused with gushing tears? Why beav'd that hero heart so high, tbat never throbb'd with fear ? He read God's blessing In the love of that fraternal band ; He mark'd the triumph, through the gloom tbat wrapped au infant land. Perchance, with his prophetic glanoe, who first on Nobo stood. Beheld a glorious realm unfold, like rainbow o'er the flood. Years rolled away, and lustrums fled, and half a century closed, Its cycle, and with swaolike dirge, 'mid ages past reposed ; But, true to their remember'd tryste, Potomac's veterans drew, Where, by the oak tree's gnarled roots, the spring fresh crystals threw. Tbey came—but not twice sixty men, in martial vigor bold ; For some tbeir bleaching bones had lain on Northern hillocks cold. They came. Who oame? Three aged forms, by time and changes bowed ; Yet was no winter iu their hearts, though snows their temples shroud. For power, and wealth, and honor blest the country if their birth, Who proudly reared ber starry crest among the Queens of Earth ; Aod warmly rose tbeir patriot prayer, that long ber sacred aik, Immaculate, and angel-steer'd, might ride the bil lows dark. Who Thet are.—The New York World names the following as some of tbe different classes wbo will support the next Abolition candidate for President : 1. All tbe howling, bloodthirsty fanatics from Maine to California. 2. Every blaspheming infidel and atheist in tbe country. 3. The filthy practicers of tbe doctrine of miscegenation ; every oue of them. i. Every idle and dissolute negro. 5. All tbe thievish shoddy contractors—the vultures wbo fatten on the public waste and offal of the state. 6. Tbe army of corrupt office-holders. 7. The great stock-gamblers, without exception. 8. All the speculators and extortioners wbo are running up prices at the expense of the poor. 9. The men who pay poor sewing-women starvation prices for work on army clothing. Tiie Abolition TrlnHy -- War, Pestilence and Famine. " Sro-rTED Fevbk—We learn that this fatal and dreaded disease has broken out witb great virulence at Salem, Ind. Four persons were bnried in that town on Friday last who had died from it, and onr informant states that four others could not possibly live tbrongb Friday night. A number of new cases were reported."—Indianapolis Sentinel. After a great war tbere always comes pestilence and famine, the three greatest corses that ever set upon makind. Of the three war is tbe greatest, and by way of precedence is always mentioned first in Holy Writ. War produces pestilence and famine. Il produces tbe latter by the withdrawal of men from agriculture for the purpose of making them food for tbe cannons mouth. Hundreds of thousands ; yea millions, oi able-bodied men are tnrned from producers of food into the most watchful consumers. Food will be scarce and high tbis year under tbe best state, but if we should have a poor or indifferent harvest, tben God Bave the poor, wa shall have a dreadful famine in tbe Und. Pestilence is bred in the camps and by the terrible exposures of the soldiers to the elements and to death iu new and strange shapes. It is more than likely that this war will be followed np by a terfiblo pestilence that will slay as many victims as the war. Already we hear in some sections of tbe Union new and strange contagious diseases. Tha Abolition trinity of fight, tax and emancipate will produce another trinity—war, pestilence and famine. But in spite of its terrible ends, present and prospective, we are told that this war is such an excellent, such a glorious thing that it will not do at all so stop it. It must go on, although the whole country famishes and dies. In some of the lowest and most degraded African tribes there bave been found instances where hideous snakes were worshiped as Gods, and where the people starved themselves in order to feed horrid monsters. So wilh us th_ war demon must be fed, although he devours and consumes the very vitals of the community. We have chosen Moloch as our God, and to him we propose to offer up the last dollar and the last man. Our radical Abolitionists are like Clootz, the crazy French Jacobin, who declared, in tbe French Revolution, that the triumph of his principles would be cheaply purchased by tbe sacrifice ot tbe whole human race ! They never think that if the last dollar and the last man is given to Moloch, It matters but little afte_ that what kind of institutions ne have.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Negro Equality.—Tbe St. Louts Demoorat, a leading Abolition organ, contained in its issue ol the 15th inst, tbe report of a dinner given in memory of the viotory at Pea Ridge, at which several prominent Generals were present and made speeches. We take the following from the Democrat's report: General McNeil responded, and in tbe course of bis remarks said tbat hereafter tbe elective franchise should be extended to all who fight tor tbe country, without regard to nationality or color.— [Generals Gi ay and Rosecrans: "That's right; that's right."] Generals -Rosecrans Baid he fully ccncnrred in wbat bad been eaid about black soldiers General McNeil bas told you he thought that every black man wbo fought for the country should hare a A JLoyal Leaguer Backed Down. One day a short time since, a prominent Democratic citizen and a Loyal League lawyer of thlg place were discussing national politics, when the Ltaguer remarked that the course of the Democrat tended to discourage enlistments. To this tbe Democrat demurred, and said tbat tbe Leaguer was a hypocrite, and offered to test bis sincerity by volunteering if he would. To tbis the Leaguer assented, and both repaired to the recruiting; office of Col. Logan, and gave tbeir consent to be sworn-into tbe service of tbe United States ; they held up their bands and tbe Colonel commenced reading tbe oath, and bad proceeded about half way wilh it, when the "loyal" and patriotio Leaguer suddenly jerked down his hand and exclaimed, "tbis is carrying tbe joke most too tar!" lem- pora ! O mores.'— Carlinville Spectator. We know of a similar,bnt still stronger case.—• In 1862, when volunteers were being made np in this county for the 30th Regiment, a noisy gasbag ofthe League persuasion at Sparta, taunted a sterling Democrat of tbe Bame place with secesh proclivities, to which the Democrat retorted by proposing that tbey both volunteer in a company tben forming in town. Mr Leaguer, pledged himself to do so. The Democrat volunteered and was sworn into the service, bnt tbe loyal Leaguer thought that was ''carrying the joke too far" and staid valiantly at home. The Democrat was made a Lieutenant, served bravely through tbe summer campaign, and when Lincoln'* Abolition proclamation was issued resigned, as every white man ought to have done, and he a man of sense aud a patriot, voted for a Democrat the other day. The Leaguer is still at home, and still thinks the De- mocrat wbo went into the army and fought bravely, "a traitor and a copperhead." As a rule, it can be said tbat these Leaguers, bere at borne, are practical traitors, and wbat is almost as detestable, tbe most object cowards on tbe face of the earth.—'Chester (Bl.) Picket Guard. Judge William Wain Drinker of New York, while addressing the Assembly Committee on- Cities at Albany, in tbe Committee room, in relation to tbe New York Tax Levy suddenly fell down and immediately expired. He bad just closed a part of bis argument, which was cheered by those present, and was quite excited upon the topics ba was discussing. The committee room was filled witb spectators, mostly from New York. Dr. Williams ofthe Assembly was immediately sent for bnt when he reached tbe room tbe Judge was dead. The cause was supposed to be disease of the heart. The Aesemmbly was in session at the time, and tbe death of Judge Drinker was announced by Mr Bobbinson, Chairman of tbe committee on Cities, whereupon tbe House adjourned. Senator Fields also appropriately noticed the event lu tbe Senate. Coroner Meiz held an inquest, which resulted in a verdict ot death by di» sease of the heart. Tbe remains were forwarded to New York by tbe boat, in oharge of the friends of tbe deceased. The Albany Statesman, one of the savage type ol Republican papers says: "The proud and onmerous party whicb was represented in tbe Convention at Chicago, no longer retains an existence. It bas been dissipated by the action of its chosen head. Tbe Administration therefore, stands in tbe anomalous and painful position of having no organized political support outside ef the circle of bis own cffice-holdera and retainers—a very noisy but by no means control!-, ing faction." « CO CM o co o> CM £— CO CM CD CM CM CM o>_ co CM CM CM T- |
