Subject to the decision of a National si! Convention/

Concerning Slavery.

The copperhead organs have been filled for somo months past with long,

v,doleful

articles on what they call the

oppression of the Southern "people," meaning, of course, the Southern rebels, for they recognize none as "people" in the South who did not partici•pate in the rebellion all others are

"niggers," "yankees," or "abolitionists." The condition of these Southcm "people" we are often told, is al^most unbearable, and they are advised ..to "rise in their might" and throw off •the galling yoke that bears so heavily on their tender necks. Brick Pomerov giving looso rein to his horoic soul, thunders out that "Death is preferable .to slavery!" whereby he means that the Southern "people" should die rather than suffer themselves to be "reconstructed." "What is life worth /to a Southern rebel whose "liberty" is gone? lie is no longer permitted to buy niggers, tar and feather and hang yankees, tumble printing presses into the river, send men and woraon to tho penitentiary for teaching elavos to read, &c., &c. Where is tho cbivalric

Southerner who would not welcome death rather than be deprived of these ancient aind inestimable rights?— "What is life worth to a man who can't enjoy it?and how can a Southern rebel enjoy life without the liberty his forefathers long enjoyed? Thing of the Souihern people deprived of the liberty of wringing tneir sustenance from the hands of niggers! Think of a white man being dragged into court /and tried for shooting a nigger!— .Think of a white man being compelled .to pay a nigger for working for him! •Are not these things enough to chill the very blood of a

true

liberty-loving

-democrat? How can tho Southern people bear these terrible inflictions? Who could blame them if they should take "Brick's" advice and die in pref'orence? To deprive a Southern rebel 0f tho privilege of whipping niggers .is like taking away his tobacco and rwhisky—it robs him of tho very epice of life. Who can blame tho Southern 'people, thus oppressed, for sighing over their miserable condition Who

Can find it in his heart to blame the noble "Brick," who has sounded tho

:bugle

to so many bloodless onsets for

'ihtimating to them that they are in a condition to exclaim "Give us liberty, or give us death?"

Gratuitous Advice.

Some of the Democratic papers are filled with charges of drunkenness against General Grant, and are taking great pains, and going to groat trouble, to teach the Republicans a lesson on "total abstineBco" in general, and that they had better not run Grant for the presidency, in particular. Well, this is a new feature in Democratic literature surely, and if not wo would be very glud to have sotbb 6no furnish us-a copy of any paper of that persuasion that ever urged intemperance in one of. its own partyas a disqnalification for office. For the life of us, we can't remember of any such pap^r having been published iin latter times, or any such doctrine inculcated by any of the political teachers of the Democratic faith* On the contrary, every observing man knows that any otie who is ambitious of attaining the dignity of even a cross-roads politician in the Democratic bousohold must bo able to guzzle red-hot'^hisky in a manner that will bring tho blush to the cheek of a Chinese juggler. Now, this being the standing of that party so far as the temperance question is concerned, the inquiry naturally ariees, •what is tho meaning of this sudden conversion to temperance, and this great uneasiness lest the Union men may elect a President who will ovcrstop the boundaries of sobriety In other words, what do they mean by these wholesale charges again&t Gen eral Grant? Tho answer will occur to any thinking man before we can •writei it, they don't want Grant to, be the Republican candidate :for President! Only tbatand nothing more. If these charges could be sustaingid 'thoy know how damaging they would bo to: him. in the coming raoo. If they were true, our word for- it, the Democratic papers would then haye o'pened their

broadsides against.him with some effect, possibly. Now, if tlieso things are truoj vvhy aro the Democratic papers not all in. fa vol* of our riintiing hini Why, is it that thiey ate so much, opposed to his appearing oii the White House track,'tf, as they say, these things will so easily defeat him? Let an}T considerate man givo this subject a moment's reflection and ho can see tho inconsistenc.}* these papers are guilty of. They say to us, "Don't run Grant for President, he gets drunk and you will have hard work to elect, him." Now, that is Democratic ad vice, but as wo have takon nono of that kind for a number of years, we will will hardly do so now. These sago advisors, bo it romombercd, are the identioal individuals, who on a former occasion advised us not to appoint Grant General of the armies, and declared tho. war a failure. But wo did not heod their advico then, and it is well for tho country we did not, for in a short time aftor theso oracular utterances and friendly advice, every rebel Democrat in the South was conquered and compelled to lay down tho arms he had carried against the government—all because wo would not listen to the wisdom of these same men who are afraid we aro going to elect a drunken President. These charges wont win. Tho people have heard similar things from tho same quarters before, and know the source too well to be influenced by them. Our Democratic friends may worry themselves over the nomination of Grant until their political doomsday, next November, and they will find themselves making little hoadway against Grant in tho affections of tho people. The loyal masses declare him their first choice because they know his faith is well founded. He has proved himself true to the country and principle, all tho corrupt influence of a recreant President and his venal "advisers" to the contrary notwithstanding arid if the Democrats will keep their optics open they will observo him fighting that same old strugglo "out on that line if it takes all summer." And they will see too that the end of "that lino" leads to a triumphant, radical, Union Republican victory.

Theodore Tilton's i.cctnre. It se6med to mo that the raptures of an intellectual audicnce, hitherto lectureless, on finding itself actually seated within hearing of a celebrated lecturer, would bo sufficient reward for a generous man. filled with "moral inspiration", hut

Ho looked around on his fellowmcn and said, "Give mo my share, and took ope huridrod and twenty-five dolly is After a happy introduction by Senator Lane, the man of large, loosely-built frame, crowned with a fine head haloed with masses of long, waving hair, who came forward on the platform, gave one immediate disappointment at his awkwardness, and the lack of the JRaphaolcsquc appearance which we had been led to look for. However, as iho hour fled, and the "divino afflatus" flowed and ebbed in his face, we saw there lineaments, as pictures on the Persian vaso of which he spako. Ho prcfaccd his lecture with a few remarks about tho misery of his ride from Richmond, and the savage baggage master at the depot—not omitting tho customary fling at Indiana. He wished to speak of "Women of America" and introduce his favorite topic—Women's Rights, but as tho "Art of using tho mind"' had bocu advertised, he reversed his mind, as an engine is reversed, and spake with over-increasing interest dn the latter subject. His lecture was in a chaotic state—he owned it'was not finished—and it is difficult to recall it with any regularity -"Know thyself," was a motto of the ancients, inscribed over the arched Entrances of their temples.. Wo know no more of the mind than did they, two thousand years ago, who spake but one languago. The grand human mind which holds and can recall all the wisdom of the wise, which can girdle the earth in a moment, which can "bind the sweet influences of the pleiadas," weigh the stars in'a balance, harness the lightning, bridl^1 steam, and extract the secrets of tho rocks does not know itself.

Women the best tylkers in the world Dr. Dwight, said to be the best tdlkef in New England except his moth or* and his mother thereat talker in Nev£ England except her son. To bo able to write well—not for the American press—but pretty, complete letters, a groat accomplishment.

Circumstances aro said to make a' man. A man's circumstances are as njecea&ary to^ Ins truer (J^yelopment as air, light, wate.r,5food tfiey are an .ihii tegral part of a man. They ennoble a man the poorest man's circumstances aro better than those of the richest. Ho said many brilliant things of circumstances, which float like r.cbuloo in memory, which I try in vain to rcsolvo into his starry scntoncos.

A man, who is not self-mado, is not made at all. A sclf-rhado man is he who has learned the art of using his mind who looks on the oarth, and says, "Thou art beneath me, pay me tribute," and takes tribute who looks around on his fellow men and says, ''You are my equals givo me my share," and takes his share who.lpoks up and sees God above him, and says, "Lift mo up," and is uplifted who takes the Spartan sword, which is too short, and adds a step to it. If you have any brains, thank God for them, and mako tho most of therm Throw your mind against your chosen subjects, and muster them. If you choose American history, or a collection of coins, or chess, master, it, and tho mind is improved with the effort. Ben Johnson was able to quoto every lino he overwrote. There's another John son, not so rarb, but commort, toho cannot remember any promise ho ever made, nor the .people any ho ever kept, noudan trained his son to bo such an expert in tho use of his eyes and memory, that he was thought to bo in league with the dovil. II. W. Beecher's Sunday School, of which the lccfurer was superintendent for a time, sat for mOro than two years around a fountain from which poured forth three dolphins, with twisted tails, in a room ten times larger, and twenty times" prettier than this, (Elzroth's Hail). One day when thoy wore all in another room, he asked them, "Children, how many dolphins are there in tho fountain?" One half of the children said four, and one half said five. So thoy had seen and not seen. Men's intellects are dulled by want of honesty in business by conventional lying by the constant nao of articles stamped with lies-—as on spools of threads, hats, &c. Intellect should be guided by moral inspiration. In

There is an Arabian proverb—"If a wiso man koop company with a dog. he will become brutish, and if a dog keep company with the wise, ho will becoino rational." Why don't thoy surround Johnson with good company? My friend, Sonator Lano, had better go back to Washington.

These hands have not forgotten how to ttirill with the memory of sending again to the sky tho flag of Sumter, which God had allowed to kiss the dust, so that when uplifted, it might lift the lowly with it. He would rather have this country ruled by the pure instincts of women and children than by iivn\oral men.,

Last winter, in his journey of twelve thousand miles, and welcome into a hundred homes, nothing, touched him so deeply as the amount of domestic happiness, enjoyed by' the American people. The pith of his closing re marks was, consecrate your mind to noblo purposes. That what Coleridge onco said, would be worth moro to each ono than everything else he could say: "One hour spent in solitude with, and victory over,' a bosom sin, wil:l do more to improve thb mind than a whole year's study without it." His closing remarks were, "And may God givo you tho victory

^Fefcruary, 1868.

The bxeiting question at this time in Copporh'ead circles is, Does' A. P. Edgerton, candidate, otc., for Lieutenant Governor, own any five-twent}-bonds

Tiie candidate says that he docs own $198,000 of them, purchased in 1SGt for 8100,000 in gold that ho has drawn $47,500 gold interest on them, and has oscaped taxation on this large amount of property,

Ter contra, the Indianapolis Herald and Evansville Courier assort that he does not own a single bond, and never did. Wo hope the distinguished parties will soon settle this question of voracity. Edgerton ought to be able to overwhelm his assailants by producing tho bonds or tho receipt of the -collector of internal revenus, showing tho payment of income taxes upon them, but ho dare not use the bonds as evidence, because the collecor would then como down on him for the tax, and ho can not produce a receipt for past taxes, for the reason that he has dodged their payment.

The Herald and Courier evidently have tho advantage of him, and will succeed in convincing the Democracy that he is a vainglorious boaster, unworthy of belief in matters concerning bis own property.

It is hard for tho poor man to be posted as a liar by his own party organs this early in the canvass, bat he takes the infliction meekly, opening not his raouth.-ZmJ. Journal.

The Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railway. The New Albany Commercial of Friday morning has tho following concerning this road:. "We have learned incidentally that •there is a very fair prospect in view for the abandonment of a portion of tho Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad. Dillary Rickets, 'Esq., President of.the' Jeffersonvilte Road and branches, and Henry C. Lord. Eeqi, President of'tho Cincinnati & Indianapolis, and Indianapolis & La fayetto Railroads, are now in .New York City, in conference with the proper authorities of the Louisville, New Albany &- Chicago Railroad, with a view to the possession of the northern division of tho road, from Lafayette to Michigan City. "It is intimated by the gontlemen from whom we obtain the above information that thefn urn \rory nny reasons for fearing that an intention exists to abandon a portion of the middle division ar.d a portion of tho

that it is moro than probaolo that, it is upon this business that Mr. Sloat, tho Superintedent of the road, is now absent in New York. Tho information comes to us from what wo deem an entirely reliable and trustworthy source and it will oxplan, probably, some of tho workings that have ro ccntl}' boon going on in regard to the road."

The Trade of the Great Southwest.

From tho Quincy (ni.J Whig,-.

On day beforo yesterday we made mention of tho route via Ilunnibal and St. Joseph Railroad to Cameron thence to Kansas City via tho Cameron branch, and on westward from Kansas City on the Pacific Railroad as well as

soutiiward

via Fort Scott and

on to Galveston, Texas.-—Q.his route and the trade westward and southward from that prosperous place, Kansas City, is of considerable importance to tho growing commerce of Quincy as woll as Chicago.

Already St. Louis is striving to reach that portion of the trade lying south of Kansas City, on through Tex as, a country, by the way, little injured by the war, and our attention has been called to a communication in a la,te number of the St. Louis Republican, urging forward the work .of a line if not dead, at least only existing in imagination, commencing at Shfeveport, Texas, continuing up Marchall and Monroe, in the same State, and from the latter place on Washita is a sickly progressing road working its way on to Vicksburg. It is this route that is urged for the St. Louis interest. Tho other route mentioned in our issue a few days previous,v is what Quincy, Chicago^ and Eastern cities need, and is already being pushed ahead. Kansas City is aljve to our interest in urging ahead the route southward, while the ohe runing southwesterly out through Santa Fe, on through to the Pacific, is bbing pushed ahead.
