As individuals and local:ommo nities they may have done 50; but not by thetJinction of Government; for ihkthaa alwava been true to Southern interest. Again, gentlemen, look at another fact: when webaveakcd that more territory should be tdded, that we might pprcad the institution of slavery, bare taer not yielded! to our demands inl giving ns Louisiana, Florida and Texai, out of which four States hare been carred, and ample territory for four more tobe added in due time, if you by this unwi?e and impolitic act do not destrov this Lope, and, perhaps, by it lose all, and have your last ilave wrenched from you by stern military rule, as South America and Mexico were; or by the vindictive decree of a universal emancipation, which mar reasonably be expected to follow. But, again, gentlemen, what have we to gain by thia proposed change of our relation to the general aovernment? We have always had the control of it, nnd can yet, if we remain in it, nnd are united as we have been. V"e have had a majority of the Presidents chotn from the South; as well as the control and management of most of thoe chosen from the North. We l ave had sixty years of Southern Presidents to their twenty-four, thus controlling the Executive department. So of the .Tudire of the Supreme Court, we have had eighteen from the South, and but eleven from the North; although nearly four-fifths of the judicial business has nrim in the Free States, yit a majority of the Court lias always been from the South. This we bavo required so as 1 1 pn.ir! ag.iint any interpretation of the Constitution unfavorable to us. In like manner we luave been equally watchful to cuird our interests in the Legislative brunch oT icvtrunu nt. f.. .1 a . - t! T .!.... ttm.) of the Senate, we have had twentyfour to their elevrn. Speakers of the House, vro hire hvl twentv-three, anil they twelve. U'hile the majority of tho Representatives, from their gretifer popp, lation, have nlwiiy bern from tiie North, yet wp have so renrnlly srrnred the Speaker, beeiuso he. to a preat extent, shapes and controls the lepi.ilation of the country. Nor have we had Jess eontro' in every other department of the penrral povemmcnt. Attomey-l" r im r lis we have had fourteen, while the North have had but five. Foreign niin:tns xc have had eighty-sir, and they hut fifty-four While 1hree-fonrhs of the buinc-s which demand diplomatic agents abroad is clearly from tlio Free State, from their greater commercial interests, yet we have had the prinoipil embis-ies so as to secure the world-markets for our cotton, tobacco anil fuirir on the best poss;b!o term. We have had a vat majority of the higher offices of both army and navy, ivhile a large proportion of te sol. Hers and sailors were drawn from the North. Equally so of Clerks, Auditors and Comptrollers filing the Executive department, the records show for the last fifty year, tint of the three thousand thus employed, we have had more thun two-thirds of the same, while wo have but one-third of the white population of i . , , the Kepub.ie. i Again, look at another item, and one, b aJr.red, in which we have a great and Vlt'' interest; it is that of revenue, or tnems of supporting government.

Therefore there is but! 1 Üttle hone of a change in the l r., . u . : i I. to the Government; not because they disliked their Government, but because they liked their par'ty more. And I do not think measure of the Aumimstra tion. At the inception or break infj out o! the rebellion, it wai o . . was announced by Vallandigham and others, that the people of the Southern States should not be coerced. In other words, they intended to say to the Governmerit that the rebellion should not be put down; and when dangerous traitors were imprisoned lor aiding the rebellion, they denounced the suspension ot the writ of habeas corpus; and because men were not allowed to denounce the Government and the Administration, and the means used to put down the rebellion, they aid the freedom ol speech and of the press had been suppressed ; nnd, indeed, they ottered a premium to every man in the country to take a stand ajzainrt the Government, by giving public ovations to traitors because they had been imprisoned, and by running and electing them to oflice. Then subjugation was spoken of, and against ; then emancipation and the arming ol negroes, the payment of taxes to support the war, were denounced; and the conscription, too, could not be tolerated, but must ba resisted. The soldier in the field has seen this scries of measures opposed by the men who have heretofore called themselves democrats, and they feel pained to think that the men who have heretofore claimed to be patriots, and to be the descendants ot Washington, Jefierson and Jackson, are in opposition to th? Government. I av, the soldier has witnessed these things with a sad heart ; and yet they claim to be the natural protectors of the Government, while they meet in their secret dens to concoct schemes to break down our glorious Government, and to assist the rebels to murder and assas.-inate the soldier who is lighting for the homes of these traitors. ou must not tell us that you are cur friends until you change your action in this particular. The bold and defiant action of the traitors in the Indiana Legislature in denouncing the war policy of the Administration instead of commending it and sympathizing with the soldier, is proof enough to us thit you do not sympathize with our cause. The jinny is now in good spirits. The President has announced a policy which, if carried out, will put down the rebellion.

TIMOTHY TITCOMn ON FA?!!LY CIOVKUN.Mr.lT. . The following is from Dr. J. G. Holland LrtteM to the Joncsc," now in course of publication in the Springfield, Mass.. Republican After fome things about Deacon Jones's way of governing his neighborhood, he goes on: A man does not usually have one set of notions concerning neighborhood rgovernment and another concerning family government. You managed your own family very much as you undertook to manage your village. I can, indeed, bear witness that you gave your family line upon line and precept upon precept, but I am not bo ready to concede that you trained them up in the right way. Your family was an orderly one, I admit, but I have seen jails and houses of correction that were more orderly still. An orderly house is quite as liable to be governed too much, as a disorderly house is to be governed too little. I alwnvs noticed this fact, with relation to your mode of family training. ou enforced a blind obedience to your con mands, and never deemed it necessary or desirable to give ft reason for them. Nay, you told your children, distinctly, that it was enough for them that you commanded a thing to be done. Vou refused to give them a reason beyond your own wish and will. You placed yourself between them and their own consciences; you placed yourself between them and their own sc nio of that which is just and proper and good; nay, you placed yourself between them and God, and demanded that they should obey you because you willed itr-bc-cause vou commanded them ,to obey you. It is comparatively an easy thing to get up an onlerly family, on such a plan of operations as this. A man needs only to have a strong arm and a broad palm and a heart that never opens to pirental tenderne?, to secure the most orderly family in the world, it is net a hard thing for a man' who weighs two hundred pounds, more or less, to make a boy who weighs only fifty pounds, so much afraid of him as to obey his minutest commands. Indeed, it i not a hard thing to break down his will entirely, and make a craven of him. I declare to you, Deacon Jones, that the most orderly families I have ever known were the worst governed; anil one of these same families was your own. You are not the first man who has brought up "an orderly family," and fitted them for the devil's hand by this syitem of government. Now will you just think for a moment what you did for your children? I know their history, and in many respects it ha3 been a bad one and a sad one. You sroverned them. You laid your hw upon them. You forced urym them your will as their supreme rule of action. They did not fear God half as much as they did you, though, if I remember correctly, you represented Him to le a'fort of infinite Deaccn Solomon Jonps. They did net fear to lie half a. much as they feared to be lloijgrd. They became hypocrites through their fear of you, and they learned - to hate vou became you persisted in treating them as servile dependents. You put yourself before thern and thrust vourself into 'their life in the place of God. Yoi bnt them to vour will with those strong hand, of vours, and vou had 4,an orderly family.
