Tlic New England Confederacy "We nave read so much of the Southern Confederacy for the last five years, that we had well nigh furgottoii, that in REBELLION, as in everything else, except honesty and patriotism, New England has always taken the lead.

The first rebellion that occurred, was in 17S6-7 in Massachusetts, and is known in history as SHAY'S Rebellion. The second rebellion was conceived in the Legislature of Massachusetts in 1814. A committee of that Legislature submitted a report in favor of calling a convention of the New England States for the purpose of forming a NEW ENGLAND CONFEDERACY. This measure passed. They also passed resolutions absolving! themselves from all allegiance to the general government. The same Legislature voted to raise an army for State defence

ations for becomingan independent nation. For the purpose of uniting all the New England States in a CONFEDERACY against the Geueral Government, this Legislature called the famous HARTFORD CONVENTION which sat with closed doors and secretly concocted treason against the Government but, failing to obtain the assistance of New York and New Jersey in their nefarious scheme, their Confederacy failed. New Jersey then was as she is now, Democratic: and the resolutions of rebuke passed by her patriotic Legislature against the New England Confederate traitors wore severe 'jand just. From the very beginning of our national Union to the present time,

New England in general, and Massachusetts in particular, have been busy in fermenting discord, and propagating seutiments of treason and disunion. j: ln 1836 Massachusetts passo/l «n ordinance of secession from the United States, which has never been repealed, and still remains up

of these States, punishable penalties. With regard to

the citizctiM with terrible these "personal liberty bills," Daniel Webster in a public speech said, "I do not hesitate to say and repeat, that if the Northern States refuse willfully and deliberately to carry into effect that part of the constitution which respects the return of fugitive slaves, the South would no longer be bound to observe the contract. A bargain broken on one side is broken on all sides." Besides these rebellious acts in their sovereign capacity as States, New England has caused all the great undercurrent of disaffection and bitterness, which succeeded as it was intended it should, in estranging the South from the North. The New England Press and Pulpit, for thc last thirty years have been disseminating discord and bitter hatred and heart-burnings, and desires for revenge among the people, and the South has been by these means so badly misrepresented, that Northern men, women and children have imbibed hatred ol their Southern brethren with their religious and secular instructions.

In short, New England was determined to get, rid of the Southern States. Not that those cold-blooded, money grasping, hypocritical knaves, thc nabobs of thc East, wanted to get rid of slavery.

If they had

manufacturing it, and their people from consuming that and other Southern products. This would have lulled slavery by making it unprofitable. But while they wanted to handle the cotton, tobacco and rice raised by Southern negroes, they did not wish to be overruled by Southern votes. The representation in Congress frojq the great South, iyas rapidly increasing, and Is ew England saw at no very distant day, the loss of her power in Congress, and the consequent repeal of the protective tariffs ancl lishiug bounties.

It was these selfish motives that impelled thesa States to seek a dissolution of thc Union. Slavery was not the cause. The most abject slaves and the hardest taskmasters in ths United Stat as, V.a"e al

ways been in New England. Abolition was simply the hobby upon which to carry out the design of disunion. The leading men of the abolition party were traitors purely through the love of money. Ail of them who were uot thus actuated, were the dupes and fools of those who were, come down1 It. is not a new discovery of the President When the rebellion began I did not that an abolitionist is a traitor. In s\ .amount to enough to add up and give out: speech which Andrew Johnson delivered

Daniel Webster, who knew them well, gave the following opiuion of these scotlndrels in his last days: "If the infernal fanatics and abolitionists ever get the power into their hands, they will override the Constitution, set the Supremo Court at defiance, change and make laws to suit themselves, lay violent hands on those who differ with thom in opinion, or dare question their infallibility, and finally, bankrupt the country and deluge it with blood."

and while in the passage-way house, deponent's mother took hold of her father's arms to prevent his shooting. At that moment a pistol was snapped at her father then lie fired the gun. One of them, the tallest one, said he would go to the village and bring thc whole regiment to the house that night. About dark that evening about fifty negro soldiers, armed with muskets, came to thc house, and jiml a volley into the house. Deponent ran up stairs with her infant sister in her arms aud she was shot in the thijh before reaching her mother's chamber. The ball having been extracted shows it to have been a large musket ball. One ball passed through the infant's dress. She then came down stairs, when one of the negro soldiers asked her where her pa was. She answered he had gone to the village. She asked thc tall soldier to protect, her, and lie told her to go to the kitchen and sit down. A short nt'gro soldier, with large thick beard, came into the kitchen aud kicked herJrom where she icits into the chimney, and skipped her with a heavy stroke that stunned her.

Noivni was once asked by

the editor of a paper with which he was connected, to write a leading article op posing the temperance movement, which was then making a groat stir in New York. "Write me a good one and I will give you twenty dollars for it, said the editor. "Flow long do' you wish it.'' inquired North. "As short as you can make it." was the reply. North sat down immediately, and wrote the following. "We would rather see the whole world drunk of their own accord, than one man sober on compulsion." The twenty dollars were immediately handed over, aud the paragraph published a« 'is^r.r.

I strutted around with my blue-failed plumage till it looked slumpy, aud the people began to take in clothes from the lines in my neighborhood, when it became known that I was a political general, whose best holt 'was stealing and eudorsing Abolitionism.— No oue cares for me now. A good hunting dog is more petted A big buck nigger is of more account in the eyes of Cougrcss and the people. People whisper strange things about that Stonewall Jackson song of "Whose pin here?" etc.

Lots of fellows have ccnno out of State prisous sincc the war ended, and there i-, plenty of material for more of these political army officers, who could, draw beer bettor than blood.

And I stuffed election returns—and 1 stole cottou wherever it could be found, mules ditto, corn ditto, government stores ditto, and other things ditto, till 1. bccamc rich. And what a lot of men there were who believed we were fighting to subdue the rebellion. That was a good joke. "l«as merely a pleasant little murderous uusadc for cotton and niggers—the cotton for thc rich, the niggers for the poor taxpayers to support.

The war was a liod send to me". It took me from thc gutter or a stool in some saloon and made a great man of me. It lifted 111c by the wairtbands right up alongside of Wellington. Napoleon, Alexander, Washington, Jackson. Grant, Sherman aud other great men. And didn't- 1. strut? And didn 1 fall backon my dignity? And didn't I snub those whose servant I was—and win the eoutcmpt of every sensible man in the laud.

And didn't nigger wenclics fall in love with me, aud didn't I keep abandoned women at hoad-quartcrs on money I stole from my bleeding country. To be sure I did. That was the acme of "loyalty.' That was known as Lincoln patriotism. That style was the style that paid. That style made mc popular with Abolitionists at homo.

I go into that business for them? And didn't I go into the patent bleaching business on joint account, halt tor myself aud half for the government?

There were some good men in the army —some fine officers—some gentlemanly, patriotic officers, but t.liey were in hard luck, and took lower seats. And didn't I get promoted for being caught out nights, roaming over the country—poaching on some nigger or white man domain. in behalf of my government.

A Children's Rurcau.

We find in the Cyracuse Courier the'" following admirable "take off" upon the Bureau-ism so prevalent -\vith the Radi-

calsChildren need the protection, care, and nurture of somebody. They are even more helpless and weak than the negro. Many are fatherless, many are motherless, many are wholly orphaned and with, no protector but Ood or "tho (.iovermiH-nt!' Some have drunken parents. Some have cruel parents. Some have ignorant and heedless parents, by whose ignorance and want of care hundreds die. Some have inibccilc aud incapable pareuls through whose inability to furnish needful supplies and clothing many sicken and die. Some have criminal parents and protectors, who train tlieni up to vice aud cr'.i.iU. Some have idle and degraded parents, who send theui forth, not to labor, but to beg as mendicants from house to house and street to street. Vast numbers lack judgment, time and ability to train their children for the greatest usefulness and efficiency. "Every child born into the world has at least the (jod-given right to live and live in health and for usefulness. Every

that sickens and becomes infirm, or perishes, is a loss to the producing power of the world and to the society whom' its life might nourish. Every child trained to idleness, beggary, self-indulgence, vice or crime, is a yet more positive injury to society and government. The Government has a right to protect the pcoplo against such loss and injury. It is sovereign for that pgrpose.
