in close and solid phalanx. Let them

sustain and uphold with unyielding devotion the Executive in his noble efforts in behalf of a united government. If this be done with unselfish patriotism, with no thought but for ou,r country, our whole cpuntry, then the winda of autumn will sing thq. funeral dirge of the present disunion Congress, and tho bones of its member? will be left to whiter, on erorv

political battle-field, from the Aroostookto the Columbia. When this great result is accomplish-' ed, aud a Congress elected in favor of the Union on the principles of an unaltered Constitution, this country will once more assume her ancient and "nngnifiocnt proportions. Prosperity, order and stability will reign in every department. The triumph of the President's policy of restoration is the triumph of every br-aueft ofthe business and policy of the Government. Our foreign relations will instantly cease to vex the \enerable Secretary.' The nations of t'lie earth will take notice that unity and power are here—that the locks ol the strong man, now shorn inthe lap of a seductive and treacherous fa-' naticism, have agoin grown to their full length, and brought back with them till their ancient, irresistible force.

The Truth at Last.

We tind the following i.u-the-'Xew York ftines of 1' riday last, and beg to direct to it the especial attention of our readers

he vast majority of Southern people embarked in the rebellion. They will eel t.iinh direct and shape the public opinion there. They embarked in rebellion under the strongest convictions that thc^ could not live with us as a united people. In my opinion, while the institution of slavery continued to form their habits and national character, they were right in regarding the differences between us as irreconcilable aud irrepressible.

It is impossible for us of the North' to undeistiiiul that the Southern people were sincere in their convictions, and when this fact is admitted, is it not plain, that there were no means of settling our differences except by resort to war?

I lie Supieme Court had 110 jurisdiction by which to penetrate the hearts of Southern and Northern men, and assimilate the hostile ideas which were fixed there by the opposing system of slavery and freedom.
