Treason in the Blool
'•ttSe who imagine that t^e elec
tion of Preaident Lincoln, or any event
oonnected with the history of the slave
ry question, is the cause of the desire
of the Southern aristocracy to divide
the Union, instead of being merely
their pretext, will do well to weigh
earefully the following extract from a
letter written by li. II. Lee, a few
months after the Constitution was
adopted, and brought to light in a
recently pnblishsd edition of the
Federalist." It will be seen that he
treats ths Uuion as a mere temporary
•xpediency. When the South should
have been nourished in the bosom of
the Union into a sufficient vitality to
commit the crime, it would dart its
fangs into the source of its life, and
the revolutionary dream of Southern
aristocrats—a "Southern Confedera
cy "—would be realized
The Southern States are to9 W3ak at pretent
to !tand by themselves an.I a general Gov
ernment will eerlaitily be advantageous to us,
aa it product* no other effect than protection
from hostilities and uniform commercial reg
ulations. And when we shall attain our nat
ural degree of i»opuUtion, I flatter myself that
we shall have the power to do ottrxelves jus
tice with dtatUp*ng Iht bond tehich bind* IM toy«th
«r. It i» better to put up with timet: liliic in
conveniences than to nut the haaard of great
er calamities.
R. E. Lee, commanding General of
the rebel armies, is the grandson of
the above writer, and is endeav
oring to carry out the treason which
he inherited with his blood. Perhaps,
however, it will be contended that the
anti-elavery policy of Mr. Lincoln's ad
ministration exasperated hie grand
father into the utterance of eecession
doctrines, and that the Crittenden
Compromise wonkl have satisfied him I
Tba Qnakw Central on Ths fed*.
It now appears by the letter sf
McClellan, published in Raymond's
interesting history of ths present
Administration, and not included iu
the Quaker General's autobiugraphy,
that as early as August, 1862, before
the first rush of volunteers to the
standard of the Uuiou had fairly sub
sided, the little Quaker was clam
orous in his demands on the President
for a draft as the only eficient means
of obtaining men." How does this
fact repose on the digestive organs of
the peaos party Is that a good rec
ord for a "stop ths draft candidate,
to be nominated oa i" no-more-mon

put it to any candid Copperhead, if
there are any such, How would you, if
you wore tbe shoulder straps, triple
stars, and glistening eagles of a Maj.
General, and drew nine thousand dol
lars per antum for doing so—and
were withal ths first to recommend
the draft—how would yon like to be
nominated for the Presidency
Wouldn't it Irart your feelings more
than to be whipped by tbe enemy in

Compliment to Country Boyi
One of the leading business men of
our city who has accumulated over a
million of dollars and is bnilding a
residence costing a quarter of a mil
lion paid one of the neatest off-hand
compliments to country boys that
could be bestowed. ITe was talking
of business
matters genorally, and
that there were plenty of young men
iu fino cloth calling for situations, but
they did not suit him. He preferred
a very different kind of stock that'
come from the country in rough
clothes, for something could be made
out of them. But such young men
had generally gone into tho army,
while the more pretending class, that i
have more clothes than brains, have i
remained behind, lie spoke of coun-1
try boys that soon made clerks worth
If
among otlier things spoke of clerks height of the great argument" they
and the scarcity of good, solid young force upon us by their presence, their
men occasioned by the war. lie said beauty, and their power. Plant for
