of the best blood in oar land? Itis, however, highly probably, that if there had torn Copperheads in; the days of Joshua, they would have taken issue ... with him on theram'a horn question, and insisted that it was a gross violation of 'm the Ten Commandments. Uproarious l laughter and cheers. In the time of peace there is no power vested in the President or in Congress to

Interfere with slavery in the States where it exist. That power is drawn from its t resting 4ace in the Constitution and con- '" ferred upon the President by the re-

,, bullions conduct of the slaveowners, and

their own hands have forgred the bolt

which was lanncbed for their destruction. It in indeed a lofty and irratifyine con-

bideration that the exercise of this great

power by the President is not only sanctioned by the laws of war and upheld by , the Constitution, but is in especial harmony with the principles of Eternal Justice and the revealed word of God. Slavery having voluntarily rejected the protection of the Federal Constitution and advanced from behind the bulwarks where it bad been entrenched in safety so m any years, stood naked before its natu- , ral enemies Liberty, Morals, Religion . and the public safety, and has fallen pierced by a dart from each.

TUB PEACE MEN ASD 8LAVEKT. The Goverror next alluded to the Peace men and their conduct in regard to the rebellion, and said : These men, with a few mild phrases, profess their devotion for the Uuion and their condemnation of the rebels and the rebellion, and ruth on with an indecent hast to the bitter denunciation of

those whom they denominate Abolition

ists. They are men of one idea, and that

idea is the preservation or the institution

of slavery. They are the guardians of

hlavcry left on duty in the r ree States

while the rebellion is seeking to work out

the destruction of the Government.

In theirininds the whole duty- of the

Government is summed up in the protec

tion of slavery at all hazards and under

all circumstances. Unlike other insti tutions and other prouerty they are un

willing that slavery shall run the chances

or war. However other interests may Bufler, commerce be prostrated, horses

and cattle, lands and goods be confis

cated, to pay the penalties of treason, slavery must be insured against all violence, from all loss by the contingencies

of war.

To preserve slavery harmless is to observe the Constitution in all parts. To injure it in any respect is to infract the

Constitution in every member. At

time when eleven slave States have 300,

000 men in the field to destroy the Con

olitution and the Government founded

upon it, these Northern patriots are de

voting all their energies and. expending

nil their breath to protect the interests of

slavery in these States. Against the

armed rebellion they have little or noth

ing to say. Against the murder of our

citizens upon the field 01 battle, whose blood is snill'jd that the Union may be

preserved, they scarcely protest; in favor

01 suppressing the rebellion ami procuring indemnities against the future recurrence of a like disaster, they utter not a word; but their conversation, their speeches, their papers, are an everascending petition that whatever calamity may befall our country, whatever sacrifice she may be called upon to make in blood and treasure, that slavery shall be pre

served harmless to affect all coming generations. The Government of the United States ha in a few cases arrested and imprisoned persons, who, by speeches and writings, were striving to destroy the Government, and giving aul and comfort to the rebellion. These arrests have been made a pretext for a combined assault upon the Government, while the rebellion, with its multiplied cruelties and horrors, without parallel in the history of civilized nations, is utterly ignored. Many thousands of Union men are languishing in Southern dungeons, treated, not as State prisoners, but as felons, for no other crime than expressing their adhereucc to the old Constitution and the old flag. Are there no tears to shed over the horrible sutTcrings and prosecutions of these faithful men? Does humanity exhaust its sympathies upon the few cases where Northern men have suffered brief confinement for the expression of disloyal sentiments in the encouragement of the rebellion? Arc the Union men of the rebel States who have stood by the Government in the hour of trial, and whose loyalty has been tested by the dungeon, the torture and the gibbet, entitled to no consideration? The cruelties of the American eavages and of Chinese warfare fade and whiten when compared with the atrocities which have been practiced by the rebels throughout this war. Union meu have been murdered upon their own thresholds; they have been cast into loathsome dungeons, where thev have perished from disease or starvation; they have been hung like dogs upon trees and signposts, and their bones have been fabricated into jewelry and worn as horrihle souvenirs and keepsakes, as the savage would string upon his girdle the scalps of his victims. A member of the Kentucky Legislature,

in n speech in tnat oody, at a iormer session. declarcd.that after the retreat of Kirby Smith from Kentucky he had seen one grave in which were buried twelve Union men with the 'halters still around their necks. Where among th politicians who talk thus is one who has ever raised his finger in suppression of the rebellion? Ixck about through the State of Indiana aud find mo one if you can. When the reonle have rushed" together to consider

of their country, they have stood afar off

with boding looks, words oral omen upon their tongue, and counsels of discouragement for those who wrcre about to enter the ranks of the army. When the country talkcd only of war, vigorous, successful war to the putting down of the rebellion; they prated only of peace, Of compromise with the rebels, and exonerated and encouraged the traitors 'by the declaration that the Black Republicans brought on the war,' upon whom they lavished all their indignation. The annr has been raised and organized in f pit of them. The young and the middle aged, heedless of their counsels theif calumnies, have enrolled themselves among the defender of their country, and put behind them the evil apirita of the time. It is true they have hung heavy cm the cause; they have blackened rfr tTv thev have assailed all who

were urging it onward; they hare placed I

. obstruction upon the track; nevertheless it has moved on, and it will until it- has overwhelmed the enemies of our country. While patriots have thought only of saving their country these men have thought only of saving their party. While our soldiers have laid upon their arms to

watch and seize all advantages agamst their foe, these men have watched only for advantages in" the next State, county or township election.

. tu utnr or the times. The great duty of the hour, displacing and putting aside all other considerations, is the suppression of the rebellion. Until this Is done all political discussions, all efforts of reconstruction, so called, are vain. When the armies of the rebellion are crushed or scattered, and resistance to the Government has ceased, we may then take counsel together as to the best method of adjusting our difficulties and starting into motion again the wheels of government in the rebel States. It would be folly, the most criminal, the most preposterous in the world's history, were we to pause amidst our efforts to discuss the terms of future settlement, while rebel armies are still in the field menacing the life of the nation. Let us, then, with united, hearty and undivided attention

address ourselves to the great task of de-!

stroying the military power of the rebellion. The ranks of the army must be recruited, the Government sustained and upheld, our soldiers in the field looked after with tenderest care, their families at home sheltered and provided for out of our abundance, and our people, rising to the level of the great situation, mnst dis

play that liberality, devotion and spirit of i sacrifice that can be inspired only bv the

conviction, that victorious we shall save country, liberty and honor, and that defeated, all these are forever lost. The hope of the Uepublic is in her armies. The great question must now be settled by the arbitrament of the sword. They who take the sword shall perish by the sword, and the rebellion., having wickedly ami madly appealed to arms in the beginning, by arms must it be utterly crushed and blotted from the nation. The man who would counsel the nation to stay the march of our victorious armies, and give the rebellion pause to reeover strength and vigor, under the vain pretext of compromising with our erring brethern, mnst be a traitor or a fool. Compromise implies concession on loth sides, and what

could we concede to them short of independence of their Confederacy and the destruction of the Union, and what else would they ask us to cede? In the very beginning spurning all negotations, rejecting all moral and religious considerations, the rebellion sprang to arms, and slapping the nation in the face with the mailed hand, challenged it to combat or ignominious surrender. ,! OIK STATE TKOOP3. While we rejoice in the bravery displayed by all the armies of the United States, it id a subject of profound con

gratulation that the Indiana troops have behaved with uniform and distinguished gallant y in every action in which they have b joii engaged. They form a part of every army in the field, and have been among the foremost in deeds of daring, while their blood has hallowed every soil. Our troops hitherto engaged in the peaceful pursuits of trade and agriculture,

have manifested that lofty courage and

high-toned chivalry of which others have talked so much and possessed so little,

and which belongs only to the intelligent

patriot, who understands well the sacred cause in which he draws Li sword. Indiana has already made a large investment of her best blood iu the cause of this Union, and will never consent to its dismemberment or to a dishonorable peace. The bones of her sons mingle with the soil from Virginia and Missouri to Louisiana, and she will not confess that the sacrifice has been made in vain, or acknowledge that it was an unholy cause.

of our private soldiers, with equal courage and patriotism, have fallen, the victims of this unnatural rebellion.

Our gratitude should be testified by the tender care we take of their families and dependent ones whom they left behind, by the education of their children, and by the honor we pay to their memory. Nor should we forget those who have perished by disease in camp or hospital. They were denied the soldiers privilege of dying in battle, but their sacrifice was

none the less. To die in the field, amid j the clash of contending armies and the i

roar of battle, lighting in a noly cause, is glorious; but when death comes slowly on, in the loneliness and desolation of the hospital, w ith no mother or sister to soothe the passing spirit and minister as love only can minister, with none but the rough hand of a comrade to press the clammy brow and perform the last offices to the dying it is terrible.

sJWa have received from J. B. Julian, Esq., a ; "card" ( which we have not room to- publish this week ) j in which he denies being the near relative of G. W. j Julian" who dissuaded a son from volunteering, on the 1 ground that "poor boys and loafers enough could be t found to go, and he bad better stay." ( This statement in regard to a "relative" of the rep- , resentative in Congress, has often been made in this j and other newspapers, within the last two or three ' Tears ; and this is the first time we have known it to i be denied by any one. We hare never named the par- ; ticular relative who made the remark but if Mr. Julian applies it to himself, and will make an affidavit that ' ke never used language to that effect, we will take pleas- j

ure in publishing it. Mr. J. B. Julian complains that lie, a private citizen, should be connected with oar political difficulties with others. Now we are not aware that we have ever used

1 his name but once, and that was in connection with the

proceedings of the Connty Convention, in which he appeared in rather a jWJc.jcharacter. He mar rest assored that so long as be confines himself to the "management of his private afiairs" be shall be in no war noticed br us.

. Soldiers Voting."

It wfll be seen, from the proceedings of tbe Cowaty Central Coaunittee, which we pooUbh ia another cohimn, that arrangements have been Bade, by which the volunteers from Wayn County, via be enabled to participate ki th nominating election, to be held in April next. Foils are to be opened in each Regiment containing one or more companies from this countr, wherever they may be : and time is given for the receipt of the returns from them, bcre the county returns axe to be canvass.. This is an eminently just ani fair arrangement, and one in which we most heartily concur. The soldier's are folly as mueh interested in th affairs of the government, as those who stay at home and reap the benefit of their sufferings and privations. If they had not volunteered, their right to rote would be undisputed. Why then should their services ia behalf of the Country be allowed to work their disfranchisement T But just and proper as such arrangements must be ad

mitted to be, there are nevertheless, persons to be i.

found, (aiming to be "Unconditional Union Men," who are opposed to it. The more active and devoted adherents of Vr .Julian, especially, though not 'iomJn are exceedingly "deep" in their condemnation of this .policy, which they propose to regard as being frnght with great and untold evils. While tbey dan not eyenly deny the right of

the soldier's to rote, for fear of the odium they would 'hereby draw upon themselves and their candidate, they have all along secretly endeavored, by terry means in their po-rer, to deprive them of that privilege : and now that it has been settled, we hear them still furtively whining about "fraud and trickery The secret of the matter is, they well know that the soldiers are, almost to a min, in favor of Meredith, in this contest ; and taat their voti will bo of a character highly prejudicial to the interests of their own especial favorite hence the effort to stifle any expression of their choice.

The friend's of Mr. Julian, have been in the habit of claiming that gentleman to he as good and true a friend to the Soldiers as Gen. Meredith possibly could be. But it is evident that they cannot Mien this ; whr should they shrink from submitting the claims of tlieir candidate to the decision of the meu he is claira -d to have befriended t So, the difficulty is, the soldiers know too well, who tlieir friends are ; aud it is found impossible to convince them, that a nmn, who never fought for his country, or suffi-red a son or relative to do so who never visited a regiment, or an hospital who, after residing at Waslungton during two years of war, did not know the location of a sing'e one, of the many hospitals in and around that city w ho never relieved a Boldier in distress, and never contributed $50 towards carrying on the war that wei on is as well entitled to the confidence and support of the soldiers, as is one, who, like Gen, Meredith, gave himself, and his sons to the army who by his unre

mitting care and solicitude for those under Ins com- j mand, has won their undying love and devotion j whose heart, home, and purse have ever been open to j the soldier and who has spent his money, shed his j

blood, aud broken his health, m the same common cause, in which the Wayne County volunteers are engaged. If our volunteers shout 1 ever become so dull of intellect, and cold of heart, as to be unable to discriminate between two such professing friends as these, they would begin to merit the di-riskm and abuse, that has been heaped upon them by the Julian organs ; and would justify the argument of those who are now contending that they ought to be excluded from participating in this election.

was rift fur it, the President announced the policy npoa which the government ia now conducting this war policy which has received the approval of a vast majority of the loyal citizens of the country. It is o the policy of Mr. Julian but dilSs front ii ia many vital and essential features as we shall demonstrate at a future time. But even if the President had finally adopted the precise policy, advocated at the beginning by Mr. Julian, that fact would not justify the latter in claiming any "credit" or support at the hands of the friends of tLs Administration on that account. As well might the servant of a farmer, who should advise his master to cut his crop of wheat in the month of Hay, and insist on his doing so, and denounce him as a fool tor not doing so claim credit as an "educator," alter iLt, prudent tarmrv, having isrrfrard-d the silly counsels of that servant and w aited until the harvest was fully come, had gathered in, and safely housed the heaves of ripened grain, in his barn. The past history of Abraham Lincoln shows that he is as much opposed in prUeifia to slavery, as Mr. Julian or Chase have ever been. But the difference

between the men is this; that while the one has some

regard for otW questions of public policv, and is wil

ling to await the arrival of the right moment, for action in regard to all, the others have but the one ika in view. They consider no other question pay no regard to fitness of time, or opportunity, but would rather see every institution of the country destroyed; yea, the country f tself involved in eternal ruin, rather than the slavery question should cease to be agitated for a single moment. We most sincerely trust, that the President, should

he ever become convinced of political ignorance, and feel the need of being "educated up" to a higher level of moral or political wisdom, will not place himself in the hands of these voluntary instractors, who hare been so prompt to claim the 'credit' of his " improvement" heretofore.

ABOUT THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.

Julian as an "Educator.

Mr. Julian in his late address to the Toters of the 5th Congressional district, speaking of the relations

existing lietween himself and the administration, says ; "1 have it is true, sometimes found fault with its action. In the early part of this war, I publicly advocated the policy of arming the negroes, of confiscating the property of rebels as a penalty for treason, and of striking at slavery as the guilty cause of the war, and the grand obstacle to peace. If I have differed with the Administration on these points that diflercuce is now ended to my credit." This, of course, means that he, Julian was all the time right, and the President, for a time was all wrong, but that poor old "father Abraham" has at last, through his instrumentality, been brought to see the error of his ways, and to embrace the true Julianic ideas of tilings in general. This, to say the least, is rather a mndrrt declaration on the part of our distinguished Congressman, and if possible, rawes our admiration for that'mirvelKms combination of ''tine grain and tough fibre," which while thus moulding the views of Presidents and cabinets, and shaping the policy of a great nation, can manage so sucessfiillr to escape detection and recognition by the world at large for we venture to say, that until Mr. Julian himself declared it, no human being in this country or in Europe, ever dreamed that I i was the mighty hand that shaped these great events. ' When we remember, that only two years ago, the I

President was so sunk in ignorance and error, that Mr. Julian found it necessary to de nonce his administration as being characterize 1 by "weakness and imbecility" as being "nothing better than a continuation of that of James Buchanan" and when we behold the extravagant encomiums, note heapad upon that same President, by the followers, an 1 organs of that same Julian, our appreciation of the ''credit", due to the latter for tlie mighty change wrought through his instrumentality, is heightened in a prodigious degree. Our neighbor of the Broad Axr, who was himself "educated" at the feet of tliis modern Gamaliel (to the extent at least of $200) seems to be almost overcome by the contemplation of the wonderou s works of the great teacher ; and indulges, in last wetk's issue, in quite a lengthy and trirutiiie dissertation, upon the manner in which the Administration has been finally "educated up" to the correct, or Julian standered of political perfection. He seems to tliink that the present correct policy of the Administration is owing to the instruction imnarted by Julian, Chase, oo: an 1 bis inference is that it would be extremely unsafe toremore this monitor, Julian, from Washington until everything is finally settled, for fear the President should again fall from grace, and relapse into former errors. The other Juliaa organs of this district have also taken up the same theme and are harping upon it most industriously. They are continually crying 'why should you endorse Lincoln and refuse to endorse Julian, when both are adrocating the same policy of which the latter was the originator f We shall dispose of this matter at once, and in a very few words. It is tine that Mr. Julian did at the very commencement of this war, insist that negroes should be armed, slaves should be freed, property confiscated in slort that the prime object of the war should be declared to be the abolition of slavery. He rejoiced at the disaster to our arms at Bull Run, because it prolonged tlie war, and tended to insure the accomplishment of the only end he sought for. It is also true, that the President did not consider it expedient to adopt that line of policy, at the atari, but that afterwards, when the proper time came, he did advocate and adopt emancipation and confiscation aa tsar aanra, for the suppression of the rebellion. But the klea h Mr. Julian had anything to do with the policy is simply absurdIt is well known be is not in the confidence of the President, and has no influence whatever wih him. Every man of sense can plainly see, that if the President had adopted this policy advocated bv fr. Julian, at the commencement of this war, it wouU have caused divUicn and distention at the north; the necessary Dumber of troops could not have been raised, the re- '

be! lion would hare been triumphant, and disunion an accomplished fact. But most fortunately for the country Mr. Lineoin -wisely rejected the counsel of thes fanatical extremists, be adtped a policy which united the North, in oppoaitk to the rebellion, nised a volunteer army of over a half Bullion of men, and thus conferred upoa the government the i i to eaferoa any policy waich events should demonstrate to be accessary. The wwaW aw, and nut the preachingof Julian Co, gradually "educated" the mind of the American people, np to the idea, that slavery can and most he extinguished during this war, and the great question next to he determined was, aa to how that cad could be most InfaC and efieetaally accomplished. When the fulness of time arrired when tbe aatioa

It is matter of ereat surnrise to the

common people of the country that there is any prospect of important divisions j of opinion among loyal men in regard to the next Presidency. During the last j two months we have sometimes expressed ; the opinion that the coming presidential j canvass will develope quite as much ear- i nestness of feeling and etTort, and that

mere win oe as mncn or a contrest as we have been accustomed to see heretofore. But the masses are very slow to believe that there- is any serious intention, among the friends of tlie government, to oppose Mr. Lincoln's re-election. Yet, a movement of this kind has been for sometime in course of preparation and arrangement. Thousands of letters have been written within the last two months, bv men who

hold positions in the Treasury Department at Washington, and have been sent to newspapers throughout the North for publication, in order to prepare the way for a proposition to set Mr. Lincoln aside at the end of his present term, and elect a better man in his stead. These letter

writers all take care to tell us that this '

superior man is Mr. Chase, and talk complacently about Mr. Lincoln's weakness of mind, and want of all statesman

like qualities so iiulipensalle in a time of national commotion like the present. Some members of Congress also, who ' have claimed prominence hitherto as j supporters of Mr. Lincoln's admiuistration, are using their ollicial franking !

power to deluge the country with anonymous pamphlets containing scurrillous attacks on Mr. Lincoln's ollicial action.

and low insinuations in regard to his personal characteristics. It is not easy for these politicians to determine upon the grounds on which they will oppose Mr. Lincoln's re-election. They insist that he is not sufficiently radical. It is easy to say this, but convincing the people of its truth is another matter. Just now they incline to think the Amnesty Proclamation specially objectionable. Some of Mr. Lincoln's acts, to which he was urged by these very men because they were part of the radical and therefore only proper policy, are now to be attacked because they were not radical enough. This movement is, witli one exception which we will presently note, the enter.

paise of politicians and oinceholders exclusively. After much consultation among the managers at Washington it was decided to open the campaign. The people had begun so gradually to express their confidence in Mr. Lincoln, and tlieir intention to re-elect him, that it was deemed unsafe to wait longer, lest the tide of popular feeling should become too strong for any management whatever.

The shaft of the feed roller, II, runs in bearings in the bars, I (sea Fig. 3), one upon each side of tbe machine. These ban are connected to each other at the bottom by a rod, and to this rod a'spiral spring, J, is attached (see Figs. 3 and 3) which runs to the bottom of tbe frame and ia there per-

' mnncntly fixed. The upper ends of the bare, I, are con- '-;- -,- -;'-- nected to each other by a board or thin iron plate, K. to

the back of which another plate, L, is attached, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Tbe spring, J, keeps tbe upper roller down upon its fellow, and the shaft of the upper roller baa two bubs, one on each end, which work ia curved slots, M, made ia the plates, N (see Fig. 2), set oa each aid of the feed box. These slots are struck from the center of tbe cutter shaft, therefore as tbe upper roller rises with the feed introduced to it, it is always in the same distanca from, or relative position, with the cotter. By this feature of the machine tbe fodder is firmly held tothekaifn and the best possible results obtained. Tbe gearing to effect the rotation of tbe roller, II, is thus arranged. The lower roller has a piuion, O (see Fig. 3), attached to ita shaft, said pinion driving another one, P, which runs la the curved bar, Q; this pinion gears with anoiber.R, above it constituting a train of three wheels. Tbe pinion, It, engages with a fonrtb wheel on tbe shaft of the upper rot. ler, and is kept to its work by means of a link.S, betweea the two;by this arrangement the rollers are driven continuoui ly without interference with the position of the upper one. The board, K, is attached to prevent hay from beinir

drawn over tbe top of tbe upper roller; ibis board works ' up and down with the roller. There is alto a sheet-iron

peculiarity about this machine which deserves notice; this is to prevent injury to tbe knife or cutter from any hard aab-Unce which might accidentally or designedly be ia.

troduccd with the fodder to be cut. The fly-wheel, V, is SjXYVsM fastened to its shaft by a nut and washer; there la no key in it, as is usual, and tbe adhesion necessary to enable it to perform its duty, is given by tbe out aforesaid In connection with two wide collars. Tbe idea of this arraaganient is to allow the fly-wheel to slip on its shaft whsa tbe cutter strikes a hard substance, thus taking the strata due to its momentum off from the cutter a vtrv ilmnl.

; nd excellent contrivance. The cutter shaft is driven by the spur gear, W, and a pinion, and has a high -elocity. The o'.her gears, on the opposite side of tbe machine in Fig. 1, work the lower feed roller. This machine will be found a most useful one to formers of every class. Tbe arrangement to prevent the knife from being damaged is a very good one; this part of the machine is more costly than any other single detail, and those fanners who live at a distance from the renters of trade find it difficult to get good cutter blades made by ordinary blacksmiths, in tbe event of accident to the one furnished with the machine. All reasonable chance of injury to this cutter is avoided by the arrangement previously spoken of. This machine is the invention of F. B. Hunt, of Richmond, Ind and a patent was granted on the 9th of January, 1864, through tbe Scientific A merican- Patent Agency. Foreign patents are also being Secured by the inventor through tbe ScientiCc American Patent Agency. For further information address-tho patentee as above. Scientific American. . .

Oa Saturday Judges liars and Stroud delivered the majority opinion of tho court, afHrraio that the tender notes were legal, inasmuch as Congress, under the Constitution, giving power to regulate commerce, had the authority to pass ths set of February 25, 1882. Jude S'.roul, in his opinion, held that even the authority granted in the Constitution to "declare war," carried with it all tho incidents of such a grant of power; and as money was ono of the most important elements of strength, the goverment must have the authority to declare what shall pass as legal Under. The debates ia the Cod re a tion which framed the Constitution were referred1 to ia support of the views enUrtaiael by the majority o( the court.
