Facts ros the PsorLE: A brief but forcible review of the issues now before the country, in eluding the tariff peliey ol the party in power. This document was prepared by one of the most emireut citizen of Indiana, and is admirably adapted to enlighten the people upon the present condition of public affairs. A copy should be placed in the hands of every voter in Indi .na. It is issued in pamphlet form of 16 pages. Price, $1 per hundred. CoxsriKACT to Dissolve the TJxiox The existence ot a plot among- Republican leaders to destroy the Union, by a separation of the States, immediately after the election of 1860, is demonstrated by extracts from leiding Republican papers. And the speech ol" Judge W. M. McCastt. before the Democratic Convention of Shelby county, vindicatory of the right of free speech, and reviewing the political blunders of the party in power. Both published in a pamphlet of eight pages. Price. 50 cents per hundred. The Double Duty. The Detroit Free Press says, double duty derolres upon the people of reinforcing the army, and of reinforcing Congress. Certainly the radical republicans in that body have had everything their own way. Their opponents have been too feeble to even moderate their frenzy. What have they done? H tve they achieved victory? Hive they managed the war successfully? Will the people trust them any longer. Success is the evidence of capacity in "public position. For a year and a half this Congress h ive conducted the war. Tens of thousands of lives have beeu lost. Hundreds of millions of debt have been incurred ; but where is the success? Let us reinforce the army with men who can fight, and Congress with men who can administer the affairs of State with wisdom which will in sure success. The e wii The telegraph columns are filled this morning with highly interesting and important news. Among other matters will be found an abstract of the message of Jtri Davis to the rebel Congress; i letter from Mr Lincoln to Horace Greeley on the policy of his administration; accounts of the fighting upon the Rappahannock; the terrible Indian massacre in Minnesota, and the defeat of Gen. R. W John-ox by John Morgan, near G ilintin. The telegraphic account of the latter affair makes it appear an act of temeritj n:mi the part of the Federal comtnuider. With tiUO cavalry he attacked a largely superior force, nnmbering.it is said, 1,700. There-ult was the overwhelming defeat of Johnson and the capture of 300 prisoners, including hitn.-elf. The 3J Indiana ( Bridoland's) was engaged in this affair, and the names of the killed, wounded and prisoners will be looked for in this State with a great deal of interest. In the next thirty days important events muVci-ur which will h ive an important bearing upon the great struggle. It is evident that the rebels are putting iorth every effort to strengthen their cause. The Pre!drni Ih l ne-. Iii Policy. We publish tins morning a letter from Horace Gri.li.iy. to the President demanding the employment oi the in .-t ultra Abolition measuies in the prosecution of the war, regardless of constitutional obligation, and in the telegraph columus will be found the President's answer thereto. The response of Mr. Lincoln is eminently characteristic of the man. The President's position, however, as he defines it, gives hope that he will not yield to the pressure from the radical members of his party. If he had simply occupied the ground tint it was his purpose to restore the Union under the Constitution, and to accomplish that end he would use ali the means at his disposal to speedily cru-h out the rebellion it would give him a moral strength that would be irresistible. It is the duty of every conservative citizen to encourage and sustain the President in re sisting the" radical counsels which environ him. Let him feel that the great b.xly of the people are utterly opposed to the schemes of the Summers, the Grceleys. and the Phillipsls, and it will strengthen him iu adhering to the policy which he and Congress, in July, 161, declared should govern the nation in the prosecution of the war. The counsel of Mr. Greeley to the President comes with ill grace from a man who has over and over declared th it the people of the seceded States had the right to withdraw from the Union whenever, in their judgment, its Government had become oppressive to them and their interests. Tl-f Irl Ian l.tkelr to be sent OHthwru. The New Yoik Sum of the 21 st says the indications are, that McClellan's army is partially under the command of Gen. Burnside, and the for saer be provided with a command of greater importani e in the Southwest. S.nce the departure of Halleck from that point the Federal interests have been committed to no wide-spreiding super vision, siirh as they had received at his hands, and no one h is been deemed sufficiently experienced, tried and m dure to receive the same power, rare :'i except McClellan. It is not improbable, tn -ef.re. that McClellan aud the flow swofhisarioy m ty bereuter be constituted an army ol Hie M i--i.ssipp, . nr Ion the basis ol some extended military operations in the Gull Slates.

It is said in Washington streets that he

P' I OI vever condemned the partisan bigotry and malig nant clamor ol the devotees of the Tribune school, but such expressions have only been met by the class alluded to with denunciation and tenseless charges of sympathy with rebellion. With such men it is not enough that the country should be reeling uuder the calamities brought upou it by armed treason, but they would divide the loyal element of the country and sow bickering, hatred and distrust, where confidence and zealous efforts to attain a common end the maintenance of the Government is indispensable. To achieve that end they set up a standard of right. To dispute the correctness of their means for the attainment of an end all claim to be seeking, is to ineur their unstinted abuse, and to be charged with disloyalty to the country's cause They would have all men think alike; always provided all men think, speak and vote as they do. It is treason to do otherwise! We commend to the Republican press generally the very plain spoken and sensible remarks o( the Transcript, which, by the way, are given i in the same column iu which appears a call for a ; Republican Congressional Convention: I There is nothing wrong in the indulgence of a I desire that all loyal men should be of one mind I in regard to the mode of conducting the war; but I a man with the least modicum of common sense I can see that such a thing can not be. When we can force all mankind to accept and speak one ; language, when we can consolidate all religious i sects and views into one, theu we may reasona bly expect to bring loyal men to one way of j thinking in regard to the matter of putting down i tins reoeiiion, out not ociore. i ne laci is puicm I to all but fools that even honest men, patriots and Christians, will diner in their views. w inch shade .of opinion shall be entitled to the ascendency? Most certainly not that one which would consign all opposing shades of opinions to dun geons and military prisons. Agitation is just as necessary to the healthful existence ot a people as agitation is necessary to the healthful existence of the physical world. Stop the agitation of the waters ot the ocean, and even its salt could not save it nor the living things within it. Stop the course of the winds, and every breathing, moving, and living thing on the earth would die. So slop the agitation of moral and political topics, and liberty would die. In the great diversity of public opinion lies the safety of the republic. Had there been such diversity at the South, there h id been no reliellion But while diversity of opinion in regard to the proper mode of carrying forward the Govern rucnt and putting down the rebellion, is legitimate and proper, and. in some respects, desirable, there is one subject upon which there can be no I diversity. We reler to the existence of the Government. Freedom of speech and of the press j were guaranteed lor the purpose of preserving I the republic, not for the purpose of destroying it. Every man has the undoubted and inalieiable right to his own opinion, and to the expression of his opinion, as to the modethe Government should be carried on. Hij neighbor has no legal consti tutioual right, nor moral right, to deprive him of it. ' If the one has the right to destroy this right of opinion in others, he has a right to destroy the Government, because the Government is made up oi the opinions of others. All meu have the undoubted freedom to express their views and opinions of public policy to ad vocate one policy and oppose another, and none j are juslitieo in saying sucli men are not loyal lie cause the views expressed bv them do not coin cide with their own. Bevoiid this none can go. If a man, or a party ol men, do not like the po! icy or the course of the Government, they are free to combat and overthrow that policy by weapon ol argument by the power of reasoning with the intelligence, consciences and common sense ot the people; but not overthrow the Government itself. A resort to forte and violence is treason. An adherence to those who resort to force and violence is treason. Knowingly and willingly giving them aid Mnd comfort is treason; I and traitors of all these kinds are tit and proper I subjects for incaicemiion in dungeons and mili ! t oy prisons. But there it ends. A., being loyal, i cannot demand that B., also being loyal, ami dif j fering from A. in his views of policy and politics, shall te sent to prison. It cannot be said that K is guilty of giving "aid and comfort" to the reb els, in the meaning of the clause of the Constitution providing lor the punishment of such parties, by starting a difference of opinion among loyal men. any more than it can be said that our Generals give aid and comfort to the enemy by sometimes abandoning forage and supplies which fall into the hands of the enemy. Who so great and powerful, and supremely wise, at this time as to rise up and say in this war for the preservation of the Union, "My policy is the policy, my views are the views, and all others are contraband and treasonable, and the penalty for adherence to ihem are dungeons and military orisons." Such language is U: ed on', v bv fool-, I and those who have been bred on plantations, ; where the will of the negro driver has been the law, and all men beside the driver are considered as so many negroes, over whose hejds the whip can be cracked at pleasure. Treason in tin ortli Traitor I tier-in-sot Wendell I'hi Ilms. In the Anti Slatery Standard, a paper published in ew lork, nchnd a lull report ol tne : speech of Mr. Wendell Phillifs at Abingden, I s m b m - .. jiassacnusetts. iu oruer to represent specifically the treasonable utterances of this mouthing ally of Jf.ff. Davis, we segregate the following foul and disgusting morceau: LIXCOLX AND M CLELLAX HELPING THE SOUTH. I do not say that McClellan is' a traitor, but I say this. t'Mt if he had leen a t-aitor from the crown of his head to the sole of his foot he could not have served the South bette.- than he has !'.'. lin 1-. , - ( ' i I i i i i . 1 .

And '-s wii ii w ui in ui' tic cintt ucivicuiv almost the same thing may be said ol Mr Lin coin that if he had been a traitor he could not have worked better to strengthen one side aud hazard the success of the other. "A Ml RDtROlS WAR." Now, I think, and if I weie in the Senate I should have said to the Government, that everyman who under the present policy loses his life I in the swamps of the South, and every dollar rciu uiii i- j ijx- iiniciJ , Win I lumuv i niurderous aud wasteful war, waged for no purpose whatever. LET THE SOI Til OO. Our present policy neither aims to annihilate I that state of things we call "the South," made up I of pride, idleness, ignorance, barbarism, theft nud murder, nor to replace it with a substitute. Such an aimless war I call wasteful and murderous. Better that the South should go to day. than tiiat , we should prolong such a war. JIB. LINCOLN- A TORTOISE. A long as you keep a tortoise at the head of j the Government, you are digging a pit with one I hand and tilling it with the other. The war means d gging a frit wilh your two hands and lilting it up with the lives of your sons and the accumulations of your fathers. THE COVEENMEXT WITHOUT PtHPOSK. I do not believe in the Government. I agree entirely with Mr Conway. I do not believe this Government has got cither vigor or a purpose It drills with events.

If any man has light enough on the future to pray (Jod to do any particular thing, I advise him to pray for an attack on Washington, and its capture, for nothing less than that seems likely, within a few mouths, to wake up these Northern States to the present'emerency. M CLZLLAIt TO AID IX IT. But for those considerations, I see not why Jefferson Davis should not throw all his troops upon Washington, first informing Gen. McClel Ian of the purposed attack, and demanding of hint enough Federal troops to protect the rebel property at Kichmoud during Beauregard's absence.

Mouj, g0 wrote a proclamaUoTi abolishing slavery

in the State of Virginia, but McClellan bullied him out of it. It is said, too what is extremely likely that he has more than once made up his mind to remove McClellan, and Kentucky bullied him out of it. The man who h beeu beaten to that pulp in sixteen months, what hope ran we have of him? HE HAS NO CAfAClTT. I never did believe in the capacity of Abraham Lincoln, but 1 do believe in the pride of Davis, in the vanity of the South, in the desperate determination of those fourteen Slates; and 1 believe in a sunny future, because God has driven them mad; and in their madness is our hope. NEGROES SHOULD BE ARMED AGAINST SOUTHERN' ILLINOIS. The papers are accumulating statistics to prove that the negro will work, and asking whether he will fight. If he will not fight we are gone that is all! If he will not work without the lash the Union i over. If the popular theory is correct, there can be no peace nor union on this continent, except under the heel of a slaveholding des polism. It is not the South we have got to conquer; it is the Egypt of the Southern half of Illinois. LINCOLN A NOBODY. Lincoln would act if he belie ed the North wanted him to. He is not a genius He is not a mat. like Fremont to stamp the lava mass of the nation with an idea; he is not a man like Hunter, to coin his experience into ideas. I will tell you what he is. He is a first rate second rate man. He is one of the best specimens of a second rate man, and he is hone-tlv waiting like any other servant of the people, to come and send him on any errand they wish. THE CABINET ARE MURDERERS. What we want is some stunning misfortune; what we want is a baptism of blood, to make the achijg mid bereaved hearts of the people cry out for Fremont, lor nil idea, and the heid 01 the armies. Meanwhile we must wander on in the desert, wasteful murderers. Every life lost in that swamp is murder by the Cabi-nt-t üt Wa-hingtoii. Every dollar spent is stolen from lheor.et toil of the North to pamper the conceited pride ot the South in her own institutions. fr a ykr re?, the ?uuci8 or JErr davis. Pray God, that before he abandons this nation, he will deign to humble it with one blow that shall make it spring to its feet and use the strength it Ins. Beseech him to put despair into the bents of the Cabinet. If we are called ever to see another President of the United States on horseback dying from the capital, waste not tears! He will return to thecipitalon the arms of a million of adult negroes, the sure basis of a Union that will never be broken. Applause WHAT ILLINOIS LA WTFRS SAT. I asked the lawyers of Illinois, who had practiced law with Mr. Lincoln for twenty years, "Is he a man ol decision, is he a man who can say no?" They ail say, "If yon had gone to the Illinois bar, ami selected the man least capable of saying no, it would have been Abraham Lincoln. He has Do stiffness in him." 1 said to the bankers and directors of railroads in Chicago, "Is McClellan a man who can say no?" and they said, "Banks we had only a lew .nonths; we don't think much of him; bat to everv .uestion you asked, he would say yes or no in sixty minutes. McClellan never answered a question while he MM here. If there was a question to be decided, he Moated until events decided it. He was here months, and he ne er decided a single que-tioti that came up Jn the management of the Illinois Central." SOl'THERN SUCCESS HOPtD FOR. My friend says he would say to the tyrants of the old world, "Come on!" That is a fearful taunt. e On the contrary, let us lvpe that Southern success may lie so rapid and ahuiidai.t, that a blow like that which stuns the drunkard into sobriety may stun our Cabinet into vigor, and that nineteen millions of people, putting forth their real strength n the right direction, may keep peace outside our borders until we makepeace within. The Fttftion Convention in Ohio. The Fusiouisls of Ohio met iu Convention at Columbus, on Thursday last, to nominate candidates for State offices to be filled at the ensuing election. The Statesman says of the Conven" tion: In point of numbers, spirit and enthusi:im. ihe Convention of yesterday was a complete failure, the delegates present themselves being the judges. When it cor.vened, before dinner, in X lUghton's Hall, including spectators, there was not a snlli cieut number lo mote than half till the Hall, and in the afternoon, when the Convention was iu lull blast on t'.ie east terrace of the State House, il presented a very If in appearance.

The Democrats were in power when the rebel lion broke out, and what did they do except to furnish the conspirators with the means of initia ting and carrying on the war against the Government. Syracuse Standard. The only answer required to all the pretended facts slid history of the Standard, is found in the one great fact, thai the Republicans in Congress even while Buchanan was Executive, upraised, and spat upon every measure of iiljustment pioposed by any and everv Democratic statesman and were strong emiugh to reject them; and that they had succeeded in electing an Abolition speaker, who constituted every committee against the Democrats and their policy. Those two fuels are worth the whole strin of the Standard's assertions. Spraeutw -V Conrisr.

We copy the follow ing from the Washington dispatches to the Cincinnati Gaulle.

Ohl regiments wi ch Imve not beeu recruited up i to ihe.r lull strength ttetoteihat time w ill aiot.ee I be tided by dralt. This matter has only been ! delayed thus !ong by the desire to have the old ! rcg'uients filled up with men whose term of ser- ' vice would last as long as the rest of the legi ' met.t. Men drafted into old regiments can oi.lv beheld for nine months, while the rest of the regiments are of course he d for full term of enlistment. The Milit tr) lloiinties. The bounties paid and to be paid by Government to the new Volunteers, already amount to I7.0IKI.0OÜ Of these, $4.tMKI,(HJ0 have aire. ly bten paid. For several days a recent Washington letter says, all other payment from the treas ury have been suspended, for the sake of closing these up. It is supposel that ni. other day or two will pay off the remaining $3,KMI,()U0 These, of course, are merely the bounties paid by the National Government. It is estimated that the other bounties paid by State Governments, coun ties, towns, corporations, kc., will swell the amount expended beyond the legitimate payment of soldiers' wages and outfit in raising volunteers, under the President's call for 300,100, lo fully $50,0üü.üW

For the Daily State .nünel. Got. Wright's Speech at Shelb) ville It is said the hog eats his acorns without look mg up to see where they come from; but Gov. Wright shows no such swinish ingratitude for his Seu.itorial acorn it he fails to pay the puce for it, it is 1 1 oiii a want of assets. The quid nuncs suposeil thai the appointment of Wright was to rekindle the old Bright and Wright feud, and the Go vet nor is made to tread in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor; that is. Bright was ca ressed wheu he made speeches to bring defeat upon the Democratic party, and now Jo is enjoying that kind of ovation. But Jo has sen-a euough to see the modest request that he tdiall lay his head upon the block to fall under Voorhees's scimitar, and decliues to be made that "burnt offei ing." " W But to his speech: He charged Buehanan with being the author of the war, aud the luminous proof only equalled his great discovery that coaloil was to i. iiiri v al cotton ns n article of com merce. "Slavery exists inKansas as much as in South Carolina." There it is solved ascleaily as a mathematical problem. He (mured out divers vials of wrath on Bright and Breckinridge; saw ghosts, hobgoblins, and Knights of the Golden Circle by legions, and fought the-'e fairies in true Cjuixotic style. He sneered at men alio would talk about the liberty of speech, taxes, embezzlement, or the Constitution, when we had no Government, but urged us to support the pre sent apology for one. He did not deign to tell what we were to tight lor if it was not the Constitution, &c. He said he would rather po into the camp of Aliolitionists than traitors. Said it was not the people, but corrupt Legislatures, that caused

i Tennessee, North Carolina, ice, to go out of the Liiioii, and wound up by saying, "If you elect a Dem cratic Legi-lature. you may wake up some morning and find yourself out of the Union." And yet with this hint to the people not to elect Democrats, he professes to lie a Democrat! Tlie rem ai k struck all who knew that the Governor had labored lor thirty years to inoculate the people with Democracy. He sxike of the no party character of the Fe l era! and State Governments, and instanced the appointments of Stanton, Pope, Hilleck, McClellan, and Morton's appointments. He did not , s iv that his appointment was its crowning glory, j though his honest trusts of uo party loy illy did. He had no word of censure for Republicans j could not see the ijuarter million of the ghosts ot dead soldiers rising Irom the grave shaking the r lory locks at pro-slavery and Abolition l.m.itics, and the conscientious answer of Democrats "Thou eaa'st not say I did il!" Such third rate men as Wright aud his Sancho Psoas, with the r eternal iteration ol their hoiiesty may seduce weak and honest Democrats; but he is gone horse, foot and dragoon into the ; camp of the eneni.es of Democricy.

So late as IfsJO she stands by and gives up prisoners to the most cruel tirtures. The lollowiug extract from a letter written bvan English soldier, describing an action between the Bttgfish and Imperalisls against the TaepingS iu China, iu litliJ, pictures a sickening scene of honor: I went with the crowd to see the execution of the Taepil.g prisoners that had been giv en up for execution hno the h inds o. the Mandat .lis bv the English rod Fnuch authorities, or, erbat is the .same thing, they took 110 measure to pievent the ruthless butchery ol ihose they lent their aid to capture; when, horror ol horrors! how am 1 to de .-cube the dreadlUl scene, or will it ever leave my memory? Among those wretches weie young HBd old, of both sexes, and of all ages and sizes, Irom the infant recei.tly born to the man of eigl.lv, tottering on his staff; from the enceinte 0111, in to the young 111 lideu from ten to eighteen The latter were pushed out by the guards among the crowd ol ruffians assembled, and weie taken into the sheds and by places aud debauched, ami again dragged back by the hair of ihe he ids to the Chinese guauls lo await their turn for execution. Some of them had fainted, and weie pulled along the ground to the execu Doners, w ho threw them on their backs, tore off then clothes und ripped ihem from the lower part ol the abdomen to ihe breast, which were dashed with a curse into their laces. The bowels, as a matierol course, gushed out, but the cut w as made iu such a way and so skilfully, and with such ex MTtsaWS, tha the intestines were seldom uijuieJ. Altera little lime iu this stile of excessive torture, the executioner thrust his hand into the che.-t and toi e ul the reeking heart, his victim looking him in the Cue all the while. A young female, apparently about eight months preriiant, who never uttered a groan or siffSl at all the ptevious cruelties she had endured from the surrounding mob, had her infant cut out of her womb, and held up in her sight bv one ol its little hands, bleeding and quivering; when at ihe siht she gaveone heart-rending, piercing screech that would have awakened pity in a tiger, and after it had been in that slate dashed ng.niisther bieist, she, with a list superhuman effort, re ISMOSfl ht-r aVSBjl from those holding her down, and clasped her iniant lo her bleeling heart, and died hoidmg it there with such force that they jould :. be separated, assj were thus thrown together uti the pile ot' other carcasses.

'. reason why Mr. Lincoln had "iiuMified" lhe coufiscaiion bill, refused to receive regiments of negroes, and tried lo ban ish lhe negroes, is because he fears the effects of the nner of the conservative element 111 the country if he should act differently ; that, if Mr. ucoln should seize the reins of power in his own hands, his inclinations (which they professed 10 know) would lead him to declare instant esseaoipalioii to all the slaves, and to organize ihem into legimeuts, kc. &c.

Why these tr-ii I tors should be netted with tenderness by you, to I the piejuuice ot' the dearest rights ol loyal men, I we cannot conceive. 111. We think you arc unduly influenced by ; the counsels, the repiesentations, the menaces ol ! certain fossil politicians hailing trout the border slave Slates. Knowing well lb.it the hearihy, unconditionally loyal portion ol the while cm Kens ol those Slates do not expect nor oes re th (. laveiy shall be uoheld lo tlie piejuoice 01 the Union, lor ihe irutu ol which ssSiasppsmi nut only to et cry Republican residing in those States, but I to sucl. emineiil loyalists .is 11. inter Dtvis. 1 Pahna Brnsrasuw. tue Union Central Committee ol Baltimore, and lo the Nashville Union; we ask you lo Co usider that slavery is everv wheie the Kieling c.iuse and sust-nniiig base of treason; the most M.iveiioldiiig sections ol Moyland aim Delaware being th isd.iy, though under the Union dig, in full sympithy with 11. e reoelluui, while tne lice labor porliwas ol 1 etn.c-cc and 1 exas, though writhing under the bloo ly heei of treason, I a.e uuconqnei .lOiy loyal to the Union.

Ii seems to us the inosi obvi I ous truth, that whatever SUSaglheSM or lorl'fies slavery in Ihe bonier S'.ate strengthens aiso treason, and drives home the wed.e intended to 1 üiv.üe ihe Un. on.

Tens ai thou-aiids are lighting Ea the rebel ranks to day who-e original bias and natural leaning would have led them into outs. VI. We complain that the confiscation act which you approve is I. tbiiu illy disregarded by your Generals, and tint 110 word of rebuke for ihem Iron, you has yet retched the public ear. Prem nit's p.oclam ilion and Hunter's rder favor ing emancipation were promptly annulled by you; win c II illeck s No. 3, forbidding tugitives Irom sis est J to lebels to come wohin his lines an order as 11:1m. lit ny as inhuman, ami which received the hearty approbation of every traitor in America with scores of like tendency, hive never provoked even your remonstrance: We complain that th'1 officers of your armies hare habitually repelled rather than invited the approach of slaves who would have gladly taken the risks of escaping from their rebel masters to our camps bringing intelligence often of inestimable value to the Union cause. We complain th it those who have thus escaped to us, avowing a willing ness to do for us whatever might be required, have been brutally and madly rcpul-e I . and often j surrendered to be scourged, maimed and tortured , bv the ruffian traitors who pretend to own them We complain that a large proortion of our regu lar army officer.-, with many of the volunteers, evince tar more solicitude to uphold slavery than to put down the rebellion. And, finally, we com plain that you, Mr. Presideut, elected as a Kepublican. knowing well what an abomination slavery is, and how emphatically it is tiie core and essence of this atrocious rebellion, seem never to interleie will, these atiocities. and never give a direction to your military sulior diuates, which doe- not appear to hive been con ceived iu the interest of slavery rather than ol fieedom. VII. Let me call your attention to the recent tragedy in Xew Orleans, whereof the tacts nie obtained entirely through pro lavery channels. A considerable body ol resolute, able bodied men, hehl iti slavery by two rebel sugar planters in defin nee of the Confiscation Act which vou h ive approved, lett piai.tations thirty miles distant and made their way to the great mart of the Southwest, which they knew to he in the undisputed "possession of the Union forces. Thev m me their way satelv and quietlv through thirty miles ol rebel territory , expecting to find freedom under ihe protection of our flag Whether they had or bad not heard of the pas -age of the (Jon fiscal ion Act, they reasoned logically that we could not kill them for des ling the service 01 their lifelong opptesaors, who had through treason become our implacable enemies. They came to us for liberty and protection, lor which (hey were willing to rentier theii best service; they met with hostility, captivity, and murder. The balking of the b se curs ol slavery in this quarter deceives uo oin? not even themselves. They say, indeed, that the negroes had no right to appear iti Xew Oi leans armed (wilh their implimeiits of daily labor in the cane field) ; but no one doubts that they would gladly have laid these down if assured that they should be free. They were set upou and maimed, captured, and killed, because they sought the benefit of that act of Congress which they may not specially have heard of, but which was none the less the law of the laud which they had a clear right lo the benefit of which it was somebodn's duty to publish tsr aud wide, in order

Ak them to tell you candidly whether the seeming si.b.-er ency of your policy to the slaveholding. slavery-upholding interests, is not the iierplexitv, the despair ot statesmen I of all parties, and be admonished by the general ! ai.-wer. IX. I close as I beau with the statement that ; what an immense majority ot tin loyal millions ; of your country men require of you is a frank.dedared, unqualified, ungrudging execution oi the i laws of the laud, mote especially of the coiifiscation act.
