it was tho fixed purpose of the Hci essiomsf s
to destroy (he (ioveriinient of our fathers,
and obliterate (he United Slates fi'oni the

In view ol tins state ot laels there was

hence i( heciitne the imperative duty of ev
cry I'nion man, every friend nf constitution.

I tun unalile to answer voiir questions in
respect to the policy of Mr. Lincoln mid his
Cabinet. I 11111 not in their eonlideiiee tis you

I inn neither the supporter of the partisan
policy, nor the apologist lor tlm crrorn ol
tlie aiuiumstralion. .My previous rehitmna
to tin-in remain unchanged ; hut I trust the
lime will never come when I tdiall itol liC
willing; to make any needful personal sacri
fice of feclinjr aud party policy for tho hon
or and integrity of my country.
1 know of no other mode bv which a loy
al citizen may so well demonstrate this de
votion to hia country as hy suslaining; the
Hag;, the Constitution mil the Union, under
till circumstances, and under every minimis
trillion, (regardless of party politics.) against
all assailants at homo nnd abroad. Tin; course
of Clay and Webster towards the adminis
tration of (Jen. .hickson, in the days of nul
lification, presents a noble and worthy ex
ample for all true patriots'. At the moment
when that fearful crisis was precipitated up
on the country, partisan strife between
Whigs and Ih'inoerafs was quite as hitler
and relentless as now between llemocrats
und Republicans. The gulf which separated
party leaders in those days was quite ns
broad as that which now separates the De
li locraey und IJepuhlicanH. Hut the moment
an enemy rose in our midst plottin" the dis
memberment of the Union and the destruc
tion of the (ioverninent, the voice of parti
san strife was hushed into patriotic silence.
One of the hrihlest t diopters in the history
of our country will record the fact that, du
ring; this eventful period, the great leaders
of the opposition, sinking; tlie partisan into
ihe patriot, lushed to tlie support of the
(lovernmeiit, and became, its ablest aud brav
est defenders against all assailants, until the
conspiracy was crushed and abandoned,
when they resumed their former positions
as parly leaders upon political issues.
These aids of patriotic devotion have nev
er been deemed evidences of infidelity or
political treachery on the part of Clay and
Webster, to the principles and organization
of the old Whig parly. Nor have I any ap
prehension that the firm and unanimous sup
port which the. Ileiiioeratic leaders and mass
es are now giving to the Constitution and
Union, will ever he deemed evidences id" in
fidelity to llemoi ia'.ie principles, or want of
loyalty to the organization .,,,,1 ,-rt.tM ,,)' the
lcinocratic party. If we hope to regain
and perpetuate the ascendency of our party,
we should never bni t that 11 man cannot be

Secessionists in Congress.

Colonel Forney writes from Washington
to the Philadelphia V.'.s:
Have you ever ihought what would become
nf any man who in the convention of south
ern traitors, should rise and denounce the
policy of .Iclforson llavis, and avow hi de
termination to embarrass the operation of
the traitors' army? How long would such
independence bo toh rated, or bo permitted
to go unpunished? In the American Con
gress men are to be found who not only
sympathize with secession, but boldly avow
their determitmlioit to resist the prepara
tions for the defence, of the government ami
the conslitiition.and to refuse to sanction (ho
course which the President was about to
take in the premises.
It is a sia' lling comment iry upon Mich
conduct that the secessionists in tlm present
Congress insist upon being permitted to
attack the Union, even when they know that
the Uichiuolid Convelit'on expelled almost
unanimously every member of that body
who had taken ground against secession,
and were standing forth in Western Virginia,
and in other parts of tho state, as tho cham
pion of the stars and utripes. That there aro
patriotic, unconditional Union men from tho
South in tho present Congress, is true. I
do imt believe that Mr. Crittenden is willing
to endorse Mr. liurnclt'a course, and 1 am
quite sure that such representatives as Jack,
sou and ibinlup, from the same state, will
be found unreservedly in favor of maintain
ing the government ut nil hudzards. So
with the entire delegation from Virginia,
and so of all the members but one from
Maryland and one from Missouri. You will
perceive, therefore, that the discontents, in
tho House will aoon be reduced to a power.

four inoiilhs have elapsed since Mr. Lin
coln took the oath of oiliee as President, of
the United Slates, yet. in that short space
of time, he has accomplished what lew itieti
would have iindei'lakcii w ith any rcasnuu
hie hope of success.
No other president ever entered upon tin
duties of his ollice under such adverse cir
ciuiistunccii. Ho found a poil'mii of ihe.
country iu open rebellion against the gov
eminent, a rebellion deriving motil of its
power from aid fin niched by the adininis
tuition of Mr. Huchaiiaii. Cobb had bank
run i'il tlm I rciisurv. rioyii sui p.icii mo
rebels with ordinance and arms from
Northern arsenals. Toiiecy had sent the
navy In remole seas, to cripple me govern
ment iu ils means nl immediate ilelciiee;
while .lake Thompson was corresponding
Willi the rebels as u spy. lliese men were
deep ill the conspiracy, and using their
ollieial stations to destroy a government
which they had sworn lo protect. In addi
tion lo this, Mr. Liuooin found the various
departments filled with spies ami traitors.
Even Ihe army had liol escaped the infec
tion. Men educated al the expense of the
government, and who had even been the
recipients nf its homily, threw up their
commissions and enlisted iu the rebel cause.
Such was (he condition of things upon
the advent of the new administralon, yel iu
the short period of four mouths, the- public
departments have been freed from their
filth and pollution the army purged of its
traitors and the wmld is now witnessing
the sublime spectacle of a hundred thousand
patriotic soldiers driving back the rebel
forces. If all this has been accomplished
iu four months, under obstacles that seemed
almost insurmountable, have we not a right
to uiiticipalc, from a conliniiatice of a like
energetic policy, thai beloro the close of
the year, the reiicll'ou will be found gasp
ing for breath, and ils chief instigators
hanging al the cud of a rope siispendeiil
from a cross beam, That the rebellion is
011 the wane is an admilled fact, while the
(ioYcriimciit is just be-inning to manifest
ils power and vigor. Tho resources of the
seceded Slates for war me already exhaus
ted, and the possibility of being replenish
ed, either by foreign or domestic aid, is ton
remote to "be though! of. Such, indeed,
has been and always will be the fale nf re
bcllinns predicated upon no just cause, and
waged for no other purpose than to gratify
disappointed political ambition, I'or llie
last half century, with now and then a short
interregnum, the Southern Slates (though
numerically fur inferior to the Northern)
have eiijoyo I thi'oe.forths of Iho pul' imago
nf tlio government, No administration has
been able to withstand 'lm clamor of (hose
politicians for ollice, and hence il is that
threc-forths of the home patronage has been
conceded lo them; while they claim as
matter ol right, founded upon long usage
and Iho slaiutc of limitations, Mie privilege
of representing us, at every foreign court.
These are Southern rights, and an adminis
tration that does not represent them becomes
aggressive and intolerable. Had Mr. Lin
coln held out to tin 111 any hope of receiving
their accustomed amiu.hos, who il nilils but
that they would have remained lo this day
true and loyal citizens, for it is a matter of
little moment to them who is President, or
w hat parly is In pow er, so lin y can run
theirainis lo theclbow iu the public1 treas
ury, and enjoy iho Illinois of station. lo
privo them of this, and (hoy become callous
to every feeling of loyalily and patriotism.
That the government w ill .succeed in put.
ling down the rebellion admits, in our opin
ion, of no doubt. It is a mere question of
time, and if Congress shall cordially respond
to the recommendation of the Executive,
will be biu the work of a few mouths. Men
and money with il lu ief Congressional ses
sion can alone satisfy the public miud.
What reason aud forbearance have. failed 10
accomplish iniist be the work of bullets and
bayonets, The day for compromise has
passed, The war must be prosecuted with
vigor ami energy ,an I let 110 man cry peace,
until every rebel lays down his anus and
returns to his allegiance, Louis pentu-vrul.

Virginia, of vdiich State vim know he in a
native. The substance of the story was as
follows:
When the (loneral was 11 lad, there was
slid living 1111 old Indian woman, named
Hannah, reputed to he'll slave. She Was al
ums! a cenleiiariau. She had been linilsii-
illy prolific, and her descendants, now iium
In-red by the hundred, were all held ns
slaves. More than thirty nf thein w ero
held bv Mr. Scott, brother of tho tJencral.
How they come into his possession was not
mentioned.
1 1 began to be whispered round iu tho
neighborhood that Hannah's posterity rould
not be held in hoiuhige, according to tho
law s of Virginia, because she was a" freu
Indian woman, who had ''taken up" with
u slave, us the phrase is, und lived with
him as his w ife, performing servile work on
the plantation for permission to remain
there. The slaves concerned instituted a
suit for their freedom, and the necessary
counsel was employed, The chief managi
meiil devolved upon Trunk, nn active, in
telligent and faithful sci vatit one of tho
number held by Mr. Scott.
Winlield Scott, now d'oneral, beenmo
warmly interested for Frank and his co
plaiul ills. Ho made memoranda for him on
paper, filled up his blank suhpiruus, and did
all that a young, unprofessional seribo could
do lo assist him iu preparing the cause for
a hearing. It was a dillieult matter to bo
ciiro the .attendance of witnesses, ninny of
them being old and scattered about the coun
try. On I his, account the cause was continu
ed through several terms. A short time be
fore Iho Court w as to bo held, Frank would go
to his master, and a conversation of this
kind would lake place.
"Master, I came to ask leave to go and
serve my subpo'iias."
"Certainly, Frank; vou can go If vou
think it is true, With so much at stake,
for yourself and others, you ought to bo
dcligcnt to secure the utlcndaiioo of your
wilncHses."
''I may stand in need of a little money,
sir, to pay ferriages and other expenses."
"Very tnie Frank. Here aro five dollar
for you. Hut how aro you going?"
"A -foot, sir."
"You had better take a horse, 1'raiiR:
you will be able to got through your busi
ness and come back sooner. Take linger;
and as he must be fed, too, here is as much
more money to pay tho charges."
"Thankee, master."
Old Hannah was finally proved never to
have been legally n slave, and us pm tus
sequitur venlrem, all her offspring veri
declared free. Frank came homo from tho
scene of triumph, and exclaimed "Well, man
or, wove gained liur case!"
"I lave you, Frank? Well, what are yoit
that are with me going to do wTth your
selves?" "As lor us, master, we can t Kayo you.
"Hut I cannot afford to pay the wages
yon will expect, Frank,"
"There won't In: much in the way as to that,
sir. Wo have thought, that, lake us' all togeth
er, old and young, big and little, we should
be worth to' you what wo have been used to
receiving all along,"
' Hut thai w ill never do, Frank. I cannot
agree to that, You must, have wages for
your work."
Mr. Scott accordingly made an estimate
of what ho might to pay them, ranging from
one dollar to six dollars u month, Thoso
emancipated slaves remained with him
lo the day of his death. When he saw 0110
who he tliougl t could do better for himself
by his industry and oiifcpriso, ho would
advise him to seek other employment; und
they hole such good character, that thero
was no difficulty in their procuring situa
t'ons. It was only in this way that any of
them left him.
This instance of immediate emancipation
ought to put to Ihght tho gloomy appre
hensions that many people oiitortu'li.
I. Neither Mr. Scott nor any of his family
had their throats cut.
t. The emancipated slaves did not leuvo
the service of their master, and roam around
the country as idle vagabonds.
;t. They were content wiih moderate wa
ges. They all supported themselves, and
some were enterprising and prospermia.
d. It proves that freedom is eagerly de
sired by 1 hose in bonds, since those people
took much trouble to obtain it, though they
wore perfectly willing to remain with their
master on the same, terms they hud bcoi
