' Paritan Liberty. The Boston Daily Advertiser, in an article evincing research and ability, discusses our remarks on Puritau slaveholding.' We regret that ' our space will not permit u to copy thi$ article. We must, however, notice the, failure of the Ad-' t vertier to distinguish between the servants and tbe slaves of Puriuns.' The law q"oJ did not PP'y to "l- But our object ia to show the important historical and political truth 'that men seeking the errgiir of principe of liberty in America tri it look elsewhere thin to the Puri tans. T hi fact ' is not controverted by one of the' "Ner" England 'napert which are discussing our articles. The false isue ""raised, that we are abusing the memory of the Puritans, does not -trouble us in the least. We are giving history. We are defending Puritan character against misrepresentation. We challenge discussion of the . facts we cite The memory of the Puritan fathers is the inheritance of the whole country, not the special possession of radical abolitionists. The latter seem determined to gire to those Puritans a fictitious character, and to claim them as the founders of free institutions in America. The idea iaa pure Absurdity. ...The Puritans were a noble set of men. but ,bt n meant the men that some of their degenerate eons wish them lo bo considered. Their vices hive been inherited us well as their virtues, aud bare gone into the national charac ter. They h d some grand points of character, aud they had same great sins . and crimes to answer for. Whatever may be said of the growth of free principles iu America, this is true, and history stamps it thus that we cannot trace our liberty to the Puritaus of Massachusetts. We owe them little or nothing on that account. Liberty had to Jiyht against tluir doctrines and practices. Nor do we say this to their reproach. They made no pretences to free principles - If we eal J call tbem bodily from their grave they would be astonished at the sight of American in stitutions as they exist among us, or rather as they existed within two years. They never dreamed of free speech, a free press, liberty of conscience, and all the safeguards of liberty which we have enjoyed. American liberty was born at a later date. This is the grat.d historic truth we seek to make plain. Let no one imagine that we charge tho Puritui alone with enacting oppressive laws. New York, Maryland, and other ciHies also enacted severe and wicked statutes. We have never heard New Yorkers or Marylanders claim superiority for their ancestors over the ancestors of their countrymen, and therefore we are content to let the old burghers sleep in peace But these pertinacious members cf New England so cieties are constantly thrusting their Puritan ancestry in the faces of Americans, and boasting that Puritan principles must triumph if the coun try would be free and happy. This mkes it necessary to call Puritans to .he witness staud, and, ince they are all safe in ancient dust, we mut cite their statutes and ordinances to exhibit their character-.) j ",' . Mr. Sumner wrote his letter to the New Enu land Society either in absolute ignorance of history, or with total disregard of truth. This we have prove. On the slave question, the "consecration td human liberty," of which Mr. Sumner spoke, is shown to be something very different from what he wished people to believe.. , But the subject of nUvery is not the only subject involved iu a question of "human liberty." Politicians of tM radical class na to think t out it is. Tbey re willing to destroy the best hopes of liberty for the human race, to abandon the grand principles on which free government rests, and re enact Puritan statutes for all the land, if they can possibly effect what, they call liberty for the colored slave Ny, they are ready to plunge the negro himself into tbe miseries of want, exposure, starvation and death slavery of the worst form if they can only remove him from that particular condition of slavery against which their special prejudices are directed. Their narrow and short sighted view of the subject of liberty is leading the country into a dangerous position, imperiling even now the hopes of the world hi free government; while it is tr inferring the egro .from Southern slavery lo .a miserable de ith and a shallow grave in the frozen ground. It is of the highest importance tint we know precisely what are the general principles of liberty which the radical men expect to have es tab lished in this country. The New England Society affords ns an opportunity to know. In tino teria. Over their wine these gentlemen spoke out their minds. In this aspect we regard the toast which the New England Society telegraphed to Montreal as important. We repeat it here: - - "The New England Societv in the citv of New York to" the New England Sjciety In Montreal," "Greeting: Thanks to- your generous wishes'. We shall not cease to labor for their complete fulfillment. And by the blessing of God, and oar till-victorious arms, we mean in our next nnirersary to celebrate in all States, from Maine to California, the National Jnbtlee in honor of the temal principles of liberty nnder tbe law which the Pilgrim, emerging from the cabin of the M V floTer, laid down as the corner stone of the nation " - What are the. principles of liberty, aceonlint; to the law which the Pilgrim, emerging from the cabin of the Mayflower, laid down as the corner : eten of the nation? ,Whal is the kioJ of liberty which these people propose to have triumph in the country be'or another December? Iet us answer these two questions out of bistorv. We have shown that the Puritan law was siaveholding and slave trading forbidding emancipation and requiring extradition of fugitive slaves. AVe must acquit the New England, ers intending to restore negro slavery. Perhaps they were ignorant of this feature of the Puritan law. But the general principles of the Pniiw h law relating to personal and public rights, are so fully sustained by the doctrines aud the practice Of the radical party for two years past, that the reader cannot fail to be astounded at the do-fl parallel, and believe that radical success will result in restoring simitar legislation. '.Absolute submission to the mora! and religious views of the Puritm eoirt a. one general reqnireoaent of their law.. Intolerance of anything not "orthodox" doctrine, under penalty of whipf ing, banishment and death.' was another. - The iberty of the person was dependent on the person supporting thi Puritan doctrine and avoiding all opposition. To oppose the doctrines of the Pur tan court was punishAble by reöned systems of tortur. Witness the tagemona wttiprrin' of Qoxkera at the tail of a cart, order! wtho lUtute quoted below. Nor do we use the word "torture" unadvisedly. Startling at it mir seem to some member of the Newv England So. Cietj, it is nevertheless a solemn troth that the Puritans by law authorized torture to ex, tort information about confederate. . In 1611, or about that time, the following law blackened the Utute books o( the Puriuo fathers: ' " 'And no man hilt be fort-ex I by torture to confens any crime against himrelf or any other, tin less it be in some capital case, where be is first fully convicted by clear and sufficient evidence to be guilty; after which, ir the case be of that nature that it is very apparent tbere be other conspirator or confederates with him, then be

may be tortured, yet not with such tortures as are barbarota and inhuman." The Puritans, were uot ashamed of that statute. This U the peculiarity of the Puritan character, that they were boll anoo. avow'mg their princt pies freely.- Thev had nothtug to conceal. t The more sh ime oo 'their descend in ts wb. ?etk to

mireprent them. 1 hey we a grand r ice oi men, steril, etroog of will, determined in ourpo-e, willing to go (o the gallows for their principles, and equally willing to bang other men tor tbelr principles. This was their boat and pride. They were a race of plain spoken men. Why do their sons not 6e their real nobility instead of seeking to invest them with a character they would in dignantly disavow? Nowhere else in the records or tyranny ao we find the doctrines and the practices so clearly displayed on the statute books of ' people. sually the Jaw has been a general one, com manding this and forbidding that form of worship or belief, requiring conformity and punishing non conformity. " . . ! In Massachusetts the published statute was in geniously worded to make known 6hides of re quired or prohibited faith, and to fix the grades and styles of punishment for disobedience What would the Unitarians, and l arkentes, and transcendentalists of the radical sclwol do to-day if Massachusetts had not repealed the statutes of the Puritans which euurnerate creeds and dog mas, and recite each separate book of Holy Scripture, requiring faith in all of them, under penalties of the severest kind? -' -: Perhaps we cannot give a better illustration of the ateru character- of the Puaitan law than by citing one or the . first statutes which thev enacted after "emerging from the cabin of the May flower, loung America will not be .pleased ith this specimen of the veternal principles of liberty which the New England Society pro poses to use as their "corner stone. If a man have a stubborn or rebellious son of sufficient years of understanding, vix: sixteen years of aee. which will not obey the will of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that when they had chastened him will not hearken unto them, then shall his father and mother, beinz his natural parents, lay hold on him and bring him to trie magistrates assembled in ourt.aud temiy unto tbem that their son is stubborn aud rebel lious, and will not obey their voice and chastise ment. but lives in sundry aud notorious crimes: such a soo shall be put to death."., (November; 1646) There was in fact almost no such tnuig as iberty of the person in. the Furitan province. Early after "emerging from the cabin of the Mayflower," they enacted laws making the col ony a sort of close corporation, lorbioding exit thout leave of the magistrates. 1 hey also re fued entrance to, or banished, those whom they thought dangerous heretics. In June, 1631, the following law was made: "it is ordered that . . no person what soever shall travel out of this patent either by sea or land, without leave from the Governor, Deputv Governor, or some other assistant, under such penalty as the court shall think meet to in flict."-; - - When a man is asked to define "liberty," the most common answer is, "the right to go and come, and move about as I please." This is a poor definition, tut it is the idea of liberty which mo?t mea have. Puritans looked with disfavor oa this sort of liberty. In 1663 this law was enacted: "This court being sensible of the increase of profaneness and irreligiousneis by reason of the vagrant and vagabond life of sundry persons, as well inhabitants as foreigners, that wander from their families, relations, and dwelling places, from towu to town, thereby drawing away clnl dreo, servants, and other persons, both younger and elder, from their lawful calling and employ ments, and hardening the hearts of one rtiolhei gainst all subjection lo the rules of God's Holy Word, and the established laws of this colony. all of which to prevent, this court doth hereby order and enact: "That all such persons, wherever they may be found in ncy place of this jurisdiction, be appre hended by the constable of the said place, with or without further warrant, and brought before the next magistrate, who if upou examination he shall find them to be such as do not give a good and satisfactory account of such their wandering up and down, shall proceed with and against tbeia. as rogues and vagabonds, and cause them to.be corporally punished, and sent from consta ble to constable until they come to the place of their abodv&c.' It would be impossible for us, within our space. to give half of the laws of the Puritans restrain ing the liberty of the person. Some of their enactments were good, others bad. In 1835 they pissed a law punishing by fine and irupris or.ment such persons "as may lake Iibertv to oppress and wrong their neighbors bv taking ex cessive wages for their work, or unreasonable prices for such merchandises or other necessary commodities as shall pass from man to mm We fancy that New York and Boston prisons would be full if that statute were now enforced. And what would young New York and young Boston, male and female, say to the following law, nude in May. Ib477 "Whereas Uod hath committed the care and power into the hands of parents for the disposing of their children in marriage, so that it is against rule to seek to draw away the affections of young maidens, under pretence of puipose of marriage, before their parents have given way and allow ance in that respect; and wnereas it is a common practice, in divers places, lor young men irregularly and disorderly to watch all advantages for their evil purposes to insinuate into the affections of youiig maiden, by coming to them iu places and seasons unknown to their parents, for such end, whereby much evil hath grown up amongst os. to the dishonor of God and damage of parties, for the prevention whereof in time to come it is further ordered: ' "That whatsoever person shall henceforth en dea vor directly or indirectly to draw away the affection of any maid in this jurisdiction, under pretence of maniace, before he hah obtained liberty and allowance from her parents or gov ernors. or in absence of sueh, of the , nereat migistrate. shall forfeit for the first offence five pounds; lor the second towtrds the party, ten pounds, and be bound to forbear any further at tempt aud proceedings in that unlawful design. without or against the allowance aforesaid; and for the third offence, upon information, &c. he shall be committed to prison, and upon hearing and conviction by the next court, hall bo adjudged to continue in prison until the Court of Assistants shall see fit to release him.. - We have cited these aa specimen statutes to show that there was in reality no personal liberty in he Pur-tan commonwealth The subjects male and lemale, were under strict surveillance in domestic and public nutters alike. Many o their rules on the subject of personal rights were good We are not condemning them. We are but. showing what they were, and exhibiting to the peoole the style of Iibertv which the Ne England Society propose to re establish in the whole country. The liberty of the press is defended as a con stituent element of public Iibertv bv all educated nations (except by Americ? radicals.) But the press was not free among the Puritans. In 1662 this law waa made: "Yot preventing the irregularities and abuse to lie authorities of this country by the printing press, it is ordered that henceforth no copy shall be pt inren out oy the allowance first bad and ob tained under the hand of Captain Daniel Gookin and Mr Jouathau Mitchell, until this court i-liall take further order therein." In 1664. thev again ordered as follows: For presenting ol irregularities and abuses of the authority of the country Y the printing press it is ordered by this court, and the authority thereof, that there shall be no printing press al lowel in any town withiu this jurisdiction, but in Cambridge," Ac. One law went on to appoint three censors of that press, and provided forfeit ure of press and disability ever again to folio the profession in that jurisdiction, as the penalty 01 violation I We have thus far said little about the absence of Iibertv of conscience and of religious worship among the Puriuus. Yet tbu. is peih ia. the most important feature of their polity in view of the designs of modem radicalism. The open and avowed principle of the radicals of thepres ent day to force their notions of morals on the whole country ia undoubtedly an off-ririDg of the old Puritan intolerance. While in the matter of slavery and flaveholding 3 uth Carolina and other Southern States follow tbe example and uphold the practice of the Puritans, in m atters of conscience the Northern radicals imitate them, and will, if permitted, re establish their principles In the entire country. We select a specimen of the general requirement of the Puritan law, uf feeling a'l the inhabitants. In 1646 ibis was en acted: "Wherever the ministry of the Word ia established, SCCOfilitlg to the' order of the gospel, throughout thla jurisdiction, every person shall duly renort and attend thereunto respectively on the Lord's days, and upon such public fast dajs, and days of thanksgiving, as are to be generally oowved by appointment of authority. And if any person within this jurisdiction shall, withput just and necessary cause, withdraw himself from the public ministry of the Word, after due means ofconvictioo sed.be shall forfeit for his absence from every each public meeting five shillings." It would be useless to quote numerous other

statutes of this kind. -The religions intolerance of the Puritans is so well known that it seems, the height of impert:nence for.Jdr. Sumner and thi New England Society to propose their principles as the cornerstone of American liberty. The idea would be. laughable if it were net so . true, that radicalism, by arbitrary arrests, sup- ' predion of iiewipapcrs, and other acts; baa already shown its tendency lo the same old Puritan sty le of persecution. In Ma, 1647, tbe Puritans pissed a law aeainst Roman Catholic ecclesias tics, providing that "if any person shall give just cause for suspicion that he is one of such society or order, he shall be brought before some of the magistrates and if he cannot free himrrlf of iuch suspicion," he should be imprisoned, banished, and if taken the second time in the jurisdiction, "he shall be put to death." This is very much like tbe modern radical method of dealing with dj en on suspicion of disloyalty, withour charges. "You are guilty until jou , prove yourself ini'ocent," is the precise doctrine of the radical method of treating all who oppose their policy. The laws and practice on the subject of witches and witchcraft, belonging to a later period, are well known to all mea. They may be found ia numerous books, but we do not cite them here. But the general statutes, on the subject of faith and practice, are worthy of attentive perusal, the act of ICD 7 (which was apparently a revision of former acts,) is a re murk able evidence of the steidfastncss of the colony In their intoler ant practices. . That act provided as follows: . "Be it enacted by the Lieutenant Governor, Council and Representatives, &c, that it any person shall presume willfully to blaspheme the

holy name of God. Father, Son or Holy Ghost,, either by denying, cursing or reproaching the. true God, his creation or government of the world; or by denying, cursing or reproaching the :' Holy Word of God, that is the canonical scrip tures contained in the books of the Old and New Ttntament, namely, Genesis, Exodus, &c, nami.ig each book of the Old Testament to Malachi, and of the New to Revelations, aa in the other act given below,) that every one so offending shall be punished by imprisonment not exceeding six mouths, and uutil they find sureties for their good behavior, by sitting in the pillory, bv whipping, boring through the tongue with a red hot iron, or sitting upon tne gaiiows with, a rope about their neck, sc., Ac. Provided, tlntt no more than two of the foreoamed punishments shail be inflicted for one and the same offence " We suspect there would be a Tery large num ber of sore tongues in New England to dar, if preicbing-agaliift the Trinity or the inspiration of Holy Writ were to be punished with the red hot iron now. This article, already too much extended, must conclude with two extracts from Puritan statute law. Here is a specimen of the corner stone" which the New England Society proposes for the nation. Provisions were enacted In 1644, and amsnded several times, till in 1652 the law stood on the statute book as fol lows: The title is our own.

JTeff. Davis. . .The English papers reproduce the following personal sketch of Jefferson Divis, from Col. Freeroantle'a "Three mouths in the South:" Mr. Jefferson Divis struck me as looking older than ' I expected. He is only fifty six. but his face is emaciated and much wrinkled. He is newly six feet high, but is extremely thin, and stoops a little. His features are good, especially his eye, which is very bright, and full of life and humour. I was afterward told he had lost the sight of his left eye from a ret ent illness. He wore a linen coat and gray trousers, and he looked what he evidently is, a veil bred gentleman. Nothing can. exceed the charm of his manner, which is simple, easy, and most, fascinating.. He conversed with roe foe a Iu;T time, aud agreed with Benjamin that the Yankees did not really hi tend to go to war with England if fdie recognized the South; Hiid he said that, when the inevtuble'smäsfi came and that sensation was an accomplished fict the State of Maine would probably try to join Canada, as most of the intelligent people in that Stale have a horror of being "under tho thumb of Massachusetts." , . . He added that Maine was inhabited by a hard,' thrifty, seafaring population, with different ideas to the people in the other .New England States. When I spoke to him of the wretched scenes I had witnessed in his own S'ate (Mississippi.) and of the miserable, almost destitute situation in which I had found so ruinr unfortunate women, who had been left behind by their male relations,' and when Inllulel in admiration to the quiet, calm, nticomplaiuing manner in which they bore their suffering and their grief, he said with much feeling, th it he always considered silent despair the most painful description of misery to witness, in the same way that he thought mute insanity was the most awful form of madness. lie spoke to me ofGrenfell, who, be said, seemed to be servin-r the Confederacy in a disinterested and loyal m nner. tie had heard much of Iiis gal ' laut.- and good services, and he was very eorrj when I told him of Gren fell's quarrel with the civil power. He confirmed the truth of myre -mirk, that a Confederate General is either con sidered an Admiral Crichton by the soldiers, or else abused as everything bad; aod. be added, the misfortune was that it is absolutely necescary, iu order to insure success, that a General musi obtain and preserve this popularity and influence with his men, who were, however, generally very willing td accord this confidence to any officer deserving of it. ' With regard to the black flag and no quarter agitation, he said people would talk a creat deal, and even go into .action determined to give no quarter; but,"' he added. "I have yet to hear of Confederate sCers putting men to death who hare thrown down their arms and held up their hands." He told hie that Earl Russell con fessod that the impartial carrying out of the neutrality law3 had piessed hard upoc the South; aud Mr. Davis asserted that the pressure might have been equalized anJ yet retained its impartiality, if Great Britain instead of closing her porta had opened them to the prizes of both parties; but I said that perhaps this might be overdoing it a little on the other side.

Enlistment Stoppe In Order te Pro tract the War The 300 Eitaipllan Clause Itetalnrd A Warning t the' People of Illinois Kxecutlve Utarp atione .to be Extended te Other Matea 't exts for Campaign Speech e Acc.f Ace, . ,...,.. Special Correspondence of ths Chicago Time. J ' Washington, January 15. It iiquite evident that the follies and blunders of the present Administration will never cease. for some months past the business of recruiting for the army had been attended with the most encouraging results. Stimulated by the $300 bounty offered by the Government, thousands of recruits were flocking to the various recruiting stations all over the country. During a recent dying tnp to several of the eastern cities and towns in the mtei tor of New 1 erk and Pennsylvania, I found that such had been the case uni versally; and there is abundant evidence that it was so throughout- the Northwestern States. The men thus enlisted for the war, amouuting in the aggregate to more than 30.000, were all volunteers: many of them were old soldiers whose terms of service had expired; and they all entered the army because their hearts were in the work. They will make the best and most efficient sol diers in the army. The enlistment of this class of men would have proceeded; at least 60,1)00 men would have thus been added to the armr.by the 1st of March, had it not been for the conduct of the Administration iu stopping Uie paymeulof the JJUU bounty. - This was done at the iustance of Lincoln and Stanton, who became literally amazed at the alacrity with which men were rushing to join tbe army. If this thiug continued, they saw that, by the opening of the spring campaign, the army would be sufficiently recruited to make it so efficient that no further drafts would be necessary, and to render it probable that the war would be over in a year more. It was necessary for their ends to prevent this, and therefore they caused the withdrawal of the $300 bounty. The effect was just what they desired and intended. Enlistments every where stopped. - Tbe result was that when Congress re assembled ontheötb inst., the President found that he had stirred up a hornet's nest. The members of Congress, returning from their homes, bore with them sucn unmistakable tokens of the displeasure of their constituents st this unwise measure that they determined to reinstate the $300 bounty ns soon as a quorum should have rssembled. It was only in order to stent a march on them that Mr, Lincoln tent iu bis message, recommending them to reenact the bounty law. They would have done so without his solicitation. The work of enlistment will now proceed as before And. as nearly all the veteran regiments in the army will roenlist, or have already re-enlistad. ttiero will probably be no necessity for any other draft than the one expected to take place next month. ' The action of Congress en the $300 exemption clause of the conscription act may be considered as final and conclusive. That or a larger amount will be retained in the bill. There is a disposition on the part of tire ."republican"" member', however, to make the pat ment of this sum by a draft ed person exempt him only from th it particular dralt. Nothing can be more unjust than such a decision If the man is drafted and goes to the war, he serves for three vears. He pays the $300 in order to be exempt from such service. If the democratic members exert themselves sufficiently, they can, I think, secure the adoption of this just principle. . . Th"? annual messages of the Governors of the several States are attracting much attention here, as affording a correct index to the state of public sentiment in the S'ates over which they preside i hose that are regarded as the most important are New -York, New Jersey and Mary land. The mess ige 'of Governor Bradford, of Maryland, a devoted Union mau,a:d an irdent supjiorter of the administration, exhibits a picture of absolute tyranny and military despotism iu that State which, twenty vears hence, will be almost incredible. And yet I know that it falls far short ol the reiluy. Governor Bradford sets forth the simple' facts that the recent elections iu Maryland were noihinji but a mocker v: that tb whole affair was conducted bv the infamous Scheuck in obedience to explicit instructions from Stanton and Lincoln; tint all the polls were guarded by troop-; that at many of the pulls no one was allowed to vote except' he deposited a ballot printed on yeilow paper, that being the government ticket, and none other being toler aied;aud lint many of the judges of the election wete arrested by the o!diers and their places usurped by the military oincers, because the jU'ige relueu to c iinluct the election otherwise than as present! by the laws of the United States. 1 hese facts are not without interest to the people of Illinois. Maryland is a loval Slate, The military usurpation there has been accomplished only as a pretext. If the present admin istration remains iu i'avor, it will be easy to find a tir-'text for the inauguration of a similar state ot things in Illinois. 1 am proud to know that the people of Illinois will never endure such a usurpation. . But . let them be- vigilant, and watch for the first insidious approaches f the danger. : The Administration tries to make light of the arguments aud reasoning in the messiees of Gov. Seymour and Gov. Parker But these admirable State papers really cause them great un easiuess, and, among themselves, they do not hesitate to express the most dismal forebodings of what roust b their fite hei these sentiments become ihe sentiments of the ople at larse, as eventually they must The atguments both of Governor Seymour and Governor Parker, against the radical policy of the Administration, are unanswerable With the whole power of the Administration arrayeJ against us, wi'h the nionev in the treasury made to flow like water, and with the army used at the polU, the Democratic party will have a gigantic task irr the next Presidential election. And yet, if we do not carry that election, we will almost deserve to fail; for never has there been an Admini.-traiion so corrupt ns the present one. or the corruptions and imbecility of which could be m easily expoed To enumerate the abuses of the internal m mai;eiiieui of the government alonu would icquirc a volume ten times the size of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. From the employment of Jay Cooke, -t the enormous per--, centage, -to do what ought to be done. by the Treasury Department, to the gigantic swindles of the War aud Navy Department, there is a mass of wickediiess and corruption among the officials heie, which, while it makes immense fortunes fur thousands ..of the pets "f "the government," ha loaded the country and the honest people of the country with bur lens that will grind us to the earth for mmv generations. Atid all this is done with the assent, ami even the express command, of "Honest Abe Lincoln," who cm even stoop to the littleness of getiing hisown salary paid in gold coin. - Here are the texts for the campaign speeches ot Democratic orators. Let them be used effectually, and the people will take care to hurl Iroci their high places their perfidious and unfaithful servants. X. From tats Springfield (Maw.) Republican. . Overboard with the Jnaaha As a matter of public justice, the exposure and punishment of the kuave who have taken dis honest advantage of the national peril and necea sity ia a pressing duly. It i. really a matter of policy. Neither the Administration nor its party cau stand uuder the load of this rauk corruption. There is no need of it . It is not their load unless they make it so. If no honest and thorough effort is made to ferret out, eipose and punish the thieves, then the Anministration will justly be held responsible lor their crimes, and more especially if there is a disposition to cover up the facts and protect the offenders. Earlier hi the war the government could pot stop to be critical. It wa3 uuder the necessity to arm and supply its soldiers in the quickest possible time; aud the people were too much in earnest to stop and count dollars and cents. They preferred to be pluudered freely rather than submit to any delay in the prosecution of the war. That time is past. The government now has leisure to review its affairs. und to punish those who have fraudulent-' ly enriched themselves. The people have not overlooked, and will uot forget these matters, they have treasured them up aeainst a suitable hour for retribution. Tbe Administration must purge itself of all this corruption and plunder. It is its ouly safety Let 'the Jonahs be thrown overboard without compassion. No matter how hieb may be their position, or how great their influence, the men in office who h ive connived with the plunderers and shared the spoils, must be made to walk . the plank with them The Senate must at last proclaim ita unqualified oou demnation of stich traffic in Senatorial inflneirce as the New Hampshire nd Maryland Senators have confessed, and prohibit all auch venality in future. And Ihe various department,, with or without the aid of Congressional Inquisition, mast expose and punish the swindling contractors and other Peculators. Unless these things are doue, the responsibility will rest upon the Administration, and the people will hold it account able for all the plunder it has suffered, as well as what it has tolerated. For the safety of the ship of state and the reputation of her captain and' crew, then, overboard with the Jonahs. .

Through tbe exposure attendant upon my arduous duties, I was attacked is November last with inflammation of the Innga. and wa for 73 day. in ibe hospital. This was followed by greet dabili'y, bigblened by an attack of dysentery. I wa tbem removed from tbe White I uuse, and sent o this city on board the steamer State of Maine, from which I landed on tbe28tb of June. Since tbat time I have bees about ( low as any one could he and tt'il retain a spark of vitality. For a week er more I waa scarcely able to swallow an thing, and if 1 did force a mortal down. It waa Immediately thrown np again. I could not even keep a glass of water ea my stomach. Life could not last ander these circumstances; and accordingly tb physicians who ha t bees working faithfully, though unsuccessfully, to rescue me from tbe grasp of th dread archer, frankly told m tbey conld do ne more for me, and advised me to see a clergyman, and te make such disposition of my limited fand, as best suited An acquaints nee who visiud me st the hoepiial.
