"THEY OID.VT SEC"
"I can't pet over the sight of that ara
child," auid Farmer Bcrryles as he rose "up
Iroin the table, where he had just dispatched
the lunch of cold bain and warm biscuit and
apple pie, which his wile had placed before
him; and he seated himself in the great arm
chair by the siove, for i. was a duy in the
opening of Deeeniljer, and the afternoon
winds were full of chill and snow, as they
came over the mountains, and beat upon the
snug, small dwelling ol iarmer lierryls.
"What child do you mean, Jusiiii''' said
Mrs. berryls, as Hio held a recently decap
itated chicken over a bed of blight coals,
in order to singe the skin; and her little
daughter, Annie, who had been deeply en
grossed iu trimming a brown silk Unmet,
which her aunt had bought her at Thanks
giving, laid uowu a had' fimohed bow of
pink ribbon and came closo to her father.
her small, sun-lnownud face aud blight
black fc.vts full of interest.
"Well," said Fanner Berryls, clearing
ins inroat, ana leaning tiaek in tint chair,
'"to commence at the beginning. '- ,Jut after
Sijuire Loouiis had agreed to pay me five
dollars foi that cord of wood I took to town
to day, and he was walking round looking'
at it, a man came along leading a little girl
i .. .1... I i :: - . i .. . - t . t
iij- uu uauu, jiai aiiuui -mine s ago Jiere,
only she wasn't so stout, and springy like,
and she hadn't any color to speak of iu her
cheeks, and her eyes was as blue as a bit of
sky that comes right oat of an April cloud.
"Squire Lnuiiiis," .-aid the man, "I've
brought this young 'uu over to your folks to
stay for a few days. Two of out' children's
down with the whooping cough, and grand
ma's laid up with the iheumalis, and moth
er's got her bands full, without haviii' other
folks young 'una to take care on." .
"Well," said the squire, looking at the
child in a way that showed very plainly he
didn't much like the idea of tukiii' her, "I
s'pose she can stay, but my wife and daugh
ter are goin' to leave town next week, and
won't feel as if they could be bothered much
just now. Can't you find a place for the
child, 3Ir. 31ason?"
"Yes, the Treadles want tri take her, and
have her bound out to 'em till she's eigh
teen. But to tell the truth, I tau t quite
make up my mind to let 'em havo her nntil
we've tried a little longer. They're a rough
co-irsc set, and I shouldn't want to put a
child o' my own under jist such folks. Shu's
a slender little tiling, and don't seem cut out
for a drudge, and that's what they'll be sar
tin to make of her; mid mother, she's
dreadful agin the girl's goin' there. But
folks must look out for their own flesh and
blood fust, and if somebody don't offer to
take the girl before the next mcetin' of se
lectmen , I s'pose wc must turn her over to
the Treadles.1'
"Wall. .Mr. Mason. I'll take her in for a
week," said the squire, and then he w'ont
on talking' with me about unloadin' the
wood, and the little gal stood hy,ookin' from
one fo the other in such a pitiful way that
I lelt down sorry for her. JUt then some-i
dody came along and wanted to speak to
the Squire, and 1 turned to the stranger,
who washurrvin' away, and I asked him if
that child had' lit. got anybody to look out
for her.
"Not a soul sir. Her mother died a
month ago of consumption; fhe was one of
our neighbors, and lived by taking in sew
in.' She sot a world of store by tier child,
and it's the thought o' that which makes
me reluctant to give her over to folk's that'll
only think how umeb tliey can make get out
ot her."
"The fears carno into the little girl's blue
eyes as the man said these words, and if you
could have seen her face, wife, it would have
been as much as you could havegtend.
"Dear nw:, father, what was the child's
name?'' a.-ked Mrs. Berryls, holding her
singed chicken in one band, and her face
struggling with pity and sorrow.
1 asked tne child, and sue said it was
FJlen Brake." -
"Jist then the Squir called her to come
into the house with them, and I didn't get
a chance to say another word to her."
Oh, dear, what if it wa-s niv Annie!"
exclaimed Mrs. Berryls. and the glance of
beaming inolher-love she bent upon ltr lit
tic daughter was dimmed by quick starting
tears.
"Father," said Annie, seating hor.slf on
her parent's knee, "why didn't you bring
the little girl straight home with you?
"Whv. what should I have done witl
her then?" playfully pulling one of her
black mauls ot liair.
"O, tt ber live along with me, you know.
What a nice home she would have!"
"Tes, but your father is a poor man, An
nie, and it (Mists a great deal to take caru of
such little bodies as you."
"She could sleep in my bed, though, and
have part of my room, and we could man
age somehow about the dresMng. I've al
ways wanted a little sister, father; and you
won't lot her go to those cruel people, who'll
be to abuse her? Just think, as molhcr
says, what if it were your little Annie,'
lather?" '
'"Willi, mother, isn't she a cute reasoner?
What do you say to it all?"
"As you say, we're poor folks, Justin,
but I dont believe the Lord will ever allow
us to suffer because we succored the the
orphan iu her need," answered-Sirs. Ber
ryls, as she proceeded to dismember her
chicken; far away down in her mothcr
heart there was a voice which plead for the
little orphan, and indorsed every wold her
child had spoken.
Two days later, nftor the winter's first
heavy fall of snow, Fanner Berryls went in
to town, and when he returned be brought
with him th' little, slender, sweet-fa"ed or
phan girl lie had found at Squire Jjoomis.
"This is to be your home always," said
Annie Berryls, as her busy little fingers un
tied the child's bonnet, "and my father and
mother will be yrurs and you shall be my
sister, and we shall have such nice times to
gotherl" The blue, eyes grew wide for gladness.
"I shall be very happy here, I know I
shall; I liked your father the first time I
saw him. anda wished he would take me with
him. I've laid awake every night and oried
all alone because I thought I'd got to go to
those dreadful Treadles." I know it would
have broken mama's heart if fihe had known
it before she died."
"I wish sho knew it now!" exclaimed her
impulsive, sympathetic companion.
"May be she does; and if she doesn't,
she will, in God's good time," said 31rn.
Berryls, ns she took tho little . orphan's
hand, and kissed her a welcome to liCr now
home. "Come, supper's all' ready, and I
know you must be hungry now," and Annie
Berryls seized the other hand, and so the
mother and daughter led the little stranger
into the kitchen, and toward the plentiful
table in its centre, and Farmer Berryls, fol
lowed: but "they didn't see" that over
them the aljgels looked down and smiled,

INDEPENDENCE.
A Dkclaiiation by the representatives of
the United States of America, in Con
gross Assembled. Passed Thursday,
Ju!v4lh. 17TG.
W hen, iu the course of human events, it
bei'e nes netessa y for one people to dis
solve the political bands which have con
nected them with another, and to assume
among the powers of the earth the separate
and equal station to which the laws of nature
and of nature's God, entitJe tlimk, a decent
rospect to the opinions ot mankind requires,
that they should declare the copses -which
impel them to the separation. ;
We hold these truths to he self-evident:
that all men are created equal; that they are
endowed, by their Creator, with,eertaiii un
alienable rights; that among these, are hie,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That,
to secure these rights governments are in
stituted among men, deriving' their just,
powers from the consent of the governed;
that, whenever any form of government
becomes dntructue of these eudii, it is the
right of the people to alter or to"abolish it,
and to institute a new government, laying
it foundations on such principles, and or
ganizing its power in such form, as to them
shall seem most likely to effect their safely
and happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate' that gov
ernments, long established, should not be
ohanged for light and transient causes; and
accordingly, all experience hath shown, that
mankind are more disposed to suffer, while
evils are snfferable, than to right themselves
by abolishing the forms to which ihev are
accustomed. But when -a Ions train of
abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably
the same object, evinces a desigu to reduce
them under absolute despotism, !! is their
right, it is their duty, to throw off such
government, and to provide hewfiiards for
their tuture security, bueh has been the
patient sufferance of those colonies: and
such is now tho necessity which constrains
them to alter their former systems of gov
ernment. The history of tho present king of Great
Britain is a history of repeated injuries and
usurpations, all having, in direct object, the
establishment of nn absolute, tvranuv over
these states. To prove this, let liicts be
submitted to a candid world.
He has relused his assent to laws (he most
wholesome anil necessary to the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass
laws of immediate and pressing importance,
unless suspended in thsir operation till his
assent should be obtained; and, .when so
suspended, ho has utterly neglected to at
tend to them.
lie has refused to pass other laws for the
accommodation of large districts of people,
unless those people would relinqnish the
right of representation in the legislature; a
right, inestimable to them, and fonuidable
to tyrants only.
lie has called together legislative" bodies
nr. planes unusual, uncoinfortabhy.aiid dis
tant from the depository of their piddle re
cords, for the sole purposo of fatiguing
them into compliance w ith his measures.
lie has dissolved representative houses,
repeatedly, lor opposing, with manly firm
ness, his invasions on the rights of the peo
pie. Itebas refused, fora longtime, after such
dissolutions, to cause others to be elected;
whereby the legislative powers, incapn'tde
of annihilation, have returned to the people
at large for their exeicist. ; the state remain
ing, in the 'meantime, exposed to nil the
dangers from invasion from withuut, and
convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the popu
lation of these states; for that purpos", ob
structing the laws for natuiii'izatien of for
eigners; refusing to pass others to encour
age their migralioii hither, and raising the
conditions of new appropriations of lands.
He has obstructed the iidministialion of
justice, by refusing his assent to laws for
establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his
will alone, for the tenure of their oflices,
and the amountand payment of their sala
ries. He has erected a multitude of new offices,
and sent hither swarms of officers to ha
rass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in time of peace,
standing armies, without the consent of our
legislatures.
He has affected to render the. military
independent of, and superior to, th : civil
power.
He has combined with others, to subject
us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitu
tion, anil unacknowledged by our laws; giv
ing bis assent to their pretended acts of
legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed
troops among us.-
For protecting them, by a mock trial,
from punishment for any murders which
they should commit on tho inhabitants of
these states.-
For cutting of our trade with all parts of
the world:
For imposing taxes on tls, without our
consent.
For depriving us, in many cases, of tho
b m fits of trial by jury:
For transporting us beyond seas, to bo
tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free system of .English
laws in a neighboring province, establishing
therein an arbitrary government, and en
larging its boundaries, so as to render it, at
once, an example and a fit instrument for
introducing the same absolute rule into these
colonies:
For taking away our charters, abolishing
our most valuable laws, and altering funda
mentally, tho forms of our government:
For suspending our own legislatures, and
declaring themselves invested with power
to legislate for us, in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government hora, by
declaring us out of his perfection) and wa
ging war against us.
lie hes plundered on;" seas, ravaged our
coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the
lives of our people.
Ho is at this time, tranporting large ar
mies of foreign mercenaries, to complete
the works of death, desolation, and tyranny,
already begun with circumstances of cruelty
and perfidy, scarcely paralled iu the most
barbarous ages, and totally uworthy the
head of a civilized nation,
Ho has constrained our fellow-citizens,
taken captive on the high Reas. to bear armi
against their country, to become the erwcit-
tmncm ot their mends and brethren, or to
fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrection
amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on
the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merci
less indian Ravages, . whose known' rule ot
warfare w ao umlifttinguiehw defftrocttoh V
all ages, sexes and couuiuon. Jn every
stage oi uie.-e oppressions, we nave ju
tioned for redress, in the nio.-t humble
terms: our repeated petitions have been an
swered only by repeated injury. A prince,
whose character is thus marked by every act
which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the
ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to
onr British brethren. We have warned
them, hum time to time, of attempts, by
their li-gish.tuie, to extend tin unwarranta
ble juri-dieiioii over us. We have remind
ed them of the circumstances of our emi
gration and settlement here. We have ap
w dvd to tl eir native iustice and magna-
j iiimity, and wc have con jured ibein, by the
tied of our cnmiiion kindred, to Qi.-avow
these usurpations which would inevitably
interrupt our connections and correspon
dence. They too. havo been deaf to the
voice of justice and of consnnguinity. Vi e
must, therefore, artjuiesce in the necessity
which denounces our separation, and hold
them, as whe hold the rest of mankind, en
emies in war, in peace friends.
We. therefore, the representatives of the
UNITED STATICS OV AML1UCA, in
GknkiiaL Coxr.RF.ss assembled, appealing
to the Supreme Judge of the world, for the
rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name,
and by the authority, of tho good people of
these colonies, solemnly publish and de
clare, 'That, these united colonies are, and of
right ought to be. VHEK AND INDE
PENDENT STATES; and that (hey are
absolved from all allegiance to the British
crown, and (hit all political connextion be
tween them and the State of Great Britain
i-. and ought to be. totally dissolved; nui
that, as Fui:E AXD Ixn:lK.N!iRNT STATKS.
they have full power to levy war. conclude
peace, contract, alliances, establish com
merce, and to do all other acts and things,
which LvriKPENDENT States may of right
do. And, for the support of this declara

Coal.
Correspondence of tho Pitts. Commercial.
Steubenvii.le, June 10.
A valuable discovery was made near Steu
bcnville last we k. The Steuben Coal Com
pany have struck coal at the distance of sixty-three
feet below the surface. The vein
of coal is live feet six inches thick and un
dcrlies a solid rock fifty-two leet iu thick
ness and is almost entirely Tree from slate
and sulphur, From all appearances this
coal is as good in quality as the very best
yet discovered in this locality and exceeds in
thickness be more than a foot, all I ho other
mines. The shait and works of ihis compa
ny are about two miles above Stelibonville,
on a tract of land known as the JWeCaus
land farm, containing one hundred anil for-ty-eight
acres. It is situated (A the bank
of the Ohio river, with the Cleveland "'&
1'ittsbuig Railroad passing through it, and
is iu every way well situated for a blast i'ur
nneii and rolling mill, which the company
contemplate erecting. This company has
pro ecuted its work with great energy, and
we are glad that the enterprise has piuved
such a success.

none others. I do not believe that the Al
mighty made the negro callable of self-gov
ernment. .Now, I say to you, my fellow
citizens, that, in my opinion, tho signers of
the Declaration of Independence, had no
reference to the negro whatever when they
declared all men created equal. Thev de
sired to express by that phrase, white men
men of European birth aud European de
scent, and had no mo-e reference to the ne
gro, the savage Indians, or oilier inferior or
degraded races. At that time everyono of
the thirteen co'onies was a slave-holding colo
ny, and evrry signer of the Declaration rep
resented a slaveholdiug constituency, mid 1

slaves, lunch less offered citizenship to them
wnoti they signed the ivela latum. '
Ctarc for Catarrh.
Those who have suffered with Catarrhs,
knows them to be very painful, so severe as
to entirely prevent a moments' ease, or even
sleep for days and nights in succession.
e give below a simple, speedy and po. i
tive cure, which our informant avers has
been tested in numerous cases. Recently,
.Mrs. Catherine Arm dd, of Pleasant town
ship, after having endupred agonizing pain
for over a week from a Catarrh in the mid
dle of the Jiiind, under a Physician's care,
who poulticed and lanced it, getting no re
lief, but the pain becoming more intense,
finally was informed of the cure alluded to,
viz: Wrap the hand closely in the fresh
warm skin of a squirrel, three times within
thirly-six hours, at regular intervals. The
first three hours gave complete relief from
pain ; the inflammation and swelling was re
moved in twenty four hours, and the hand
was healed up and sound within seven days.
A gentleman at our elbow gives an infall
ible remedy for that other similar and more
frequent hand ailment, - the Felon, viz:
Wrap the fingers iu the sack or skin of an
egg. This will increase the pain fur nn hour
or so, then it will gradually dicrease, and
generally effects a permanent cure within
three hours.

The Petticoat Story.
The Rochester (N. Y.) Union says: "At
the fourth aniversary of the United States
Sanitary Commission, 3Iajor Hudson, who
was present nt the capture of Jeff Davis,
was introduced, and asked to give an ac
count of the affair. Ho said that tho story
of the petticoats was entirely fdse, as Mr.
Davis had on nothing over his uniform but
a cloak belonging to 31r.. Davis, and the
disguise was 60 palpable that none could be
deceived by it."
JIrs, Partington's Last. -A few even
ings since lko was reading the news to his
mother as usual, and, among other items,
read that Jeff Davis was to be "confined"
at Fort Warren. 31rs, Partington immedi
ately looked up from her knitting and ex
claimed: "Wal, now, did you ever; I know
he was caught in woman s petticoats, but
didn't think it had come to that!"
"Doctor, I w:(ht you to prescribe for me."
The doctor feels her pulse.. "There is noth

'The children of this world," sty s Holy
Writ.
are wiser m tneir genrration than
the children of light;" and the "unjust ser
vant" of Republicanism has pone and done
rather sensibly than otherwise. Having,
collectively no principles to speak of, ho
has pretended to none, and gone in for the
offices. The platform of Columbus is a
platform only in show and exterior appear
ance. It affirms nothing and is simply a
peist standing at the folks of a road without
finger-boards pointing in any direction. The
grt-nt question for the handling of tho Con-'
vention, as was agreed by ail the organs, of
the party, was the question of negro suf
frage; and this it declines to touch. Not
only does it let alone the rights of our color
brother in the South, but it ignores even the
crying claims of those who nestle iu the bo
som of our own society. Tho reader of the
Columbus document will not learn, from its
contents will learn that there is such a thing
as a niyijir we adapt our auihograpby to
the popular pronunciation in the world.
Wo wonder at this. With sonorous metal.
inflated by Alrican organs, emitting martial
sounds, at brief intervals, iu its ears, the
Convention was as oblivious of the rights of
that sauie African as if his ancestors had
never encountered the horrors of the middle
passage, or as if ho hiiu.self had never fo't,
bled, and starved to death for his liberty
and ours.
The platform of the party is to e looked
for in the ticket. This, as we are informed
by ongaiiical authority, ' is composed chief
ly of men who havo been in tho advance
guard in the progressive political party,
which founds itsell upon the principles of
tinman rights. As, according to the same
authority, the escence of the platform is
"abiding faith in the drift of events," it is
fair to infer that the candidates are accurate
representatives ot the drifting process; an 1
as the resolutions "show some of the feat
ures of Mosaic work," the embodiments
were selected for their 31oiaic style of polit
ical character. They are sort of political
predestinarians, who believe that whatever
comes to pass is foreordained; and who not
only accept the condition as it is at present,
but arc ready in advance to accept whatever
conditions wo may drift into in the progress
of events. They are as people say of old
shots so wide, from long wearing and slip
shod ways, that their ownevs can turn
around in them.
Whether the troubles of the party will
end by ignoring them, is a question which
will be best answered by the result. It is
not a very high order of honesty, thit
which impels the leaders of a party to sink
their principles, because to pioclaiin them
would jeopardise their chances of success in
a contest, for office. We do not hold that
any parly is bound to put forth a platform;
hut we do hold that when a party puts forh
a plail'onu, that platform should contain a
distinct dc-laration of its principles, or an
aifitmathe presentation of those measures
which it designs, if successful, to make
practical in the Government. Now, itino
matter of conjecture, that the Republican
party deliberately umbraded its principles
with a view to secure an unwholesome nu
tncrcial harmony, as we will show. The
Columbus correspondent of the Gazette,
writing under date of the 20ih, inst. says:
"The question of a platform is tho only
one in regard to which any anxiety has been
felt. Itims been evident all day that the
Convention would not commit itself tu ne
gro suffrage, though a plank of that kind
was understood to be in the hands of a
Hamilton County delegate, and many from
other sections weM disposed lo support it.
On the other hand, a proposition to indorse
President Johnson's reconstruction policy
was just as unpopular with the radicals,
and it is now clear that an expression will
be urged on this point to the utmost verge
of an indorsement. The course likely to be
agreed to will be te express an abiding con
fidence ih.-ir. President Johnson will adminis
ter the affairs of the nation for the best in
terests ot the Union at large. It is agreed
by both conservatives and radicals, that it
would be folly and suicidal to do any thing
that could possibly lead to a division of tho
party, whereby the enemy could step in and
conquer. "
This wise agreement between Conserva
tive and Radical, resulted in the following,
by which the charm is attempted to be
spanned with something whkh both sides
are invited to look upon as a legitimate
b' idge: each having the right to make such
constructive additions or subtractions as
shall bo necessary to suit its own particular
weakness.
"I'hat, while we are anxious for an early
reconstruction of fraternal relations with
the insurgent States, we demand that such
reconstruction shall be atsuuli time and up
on such terms as will give unquestioned as
surance of the peace ami security, not only
of the loyal petiole of the rebel States, but
of the peace and prosperity ot tho Federal
Union.
"You pays yor money and takes your
choice." This means negro suffrage, or it
don't mean negro suffrage, just as is most
agreeable. This is, we suppose, what our
cotemporary alluded to when it said that
the resolutions showed "some of the feat
ures of the Mosaic work." It is, perhaps,
a little more like that species of phantas
magoiia which they call dissolving views.
Now you see it, and now you don't sec it.
This ought to be satisfactory to the most
consistent.
In this connection, we publish the edito
rial comments of the Commercial, who thus
draws aside the curtain of tho Convention,
lt says:
"l'HE UNION STATE CONVENTION."
"The unusual interest of the Convention
at Columbus, yesterday, was attractive, and
the attendance was large, comprising niauy
of the most intelligent and prominent men
of the State. The army delegation was a
notable feature. A good many military or
ganizations sent private soldiers as delegates
but at least a dozen Brigadier-Generals were
in the Conventention, and thero was a smart
sprinkling of them outside. The number
ot cripples, officers who had lost an arm or a
leg in the service, was remarkable. 1'hore
was a painful plenty of empty sleeves and
of crutches.
"In the army delegation there was an in
tense bitterness against Governor Brough,
and tho delegates "from the front" had a
sense of disappointment in finding that they
could not have a chance to pitch into the
Governor. There were some csaeptions,
but the army representation generally was
solicitous for a fight with the State Execu
tive, and had determined to slaughter him.
There was talk that they would have put
up a candidate of their own, if Brough had
remained in tho field and received the nomi
nation. "An effort was made by the State Central
Committee to break tha unify of the niilita
ry power in the oonvontion, by distributing
the delegates among their rospeotive Con
gressional Districts. This was hotlv resist
ed, and there was a period of great doubt as
to what was be to done w;h the military
gentlemen. Fortunately ihtr Convention
was held in theater, antf this allowed the

$2,50 PER AXXUM
guished from the civilians, by being placed
upon the stage with the reporters and offi
cers of th Convention. Some of the mili
tary men exhibited a disposition somewhat
greedy, in respect to the offices, while others
were, jierbaps unneceasarily sensitive, lest
the military should get more than the prop
er proportion.
"The atay-at, home patriots might as well
recognize, at once, that in seeking for ofliot
tluy labor under disabilities, Idcriloiious
service iu the army is, as it ought to be, a
stronger reconimeodatioo for public" favor
than thu noiscst possible home-guard per
formauees. Taking care of the baggage in
the rear may be a very useful occupation,
but it will not, for a long time, count for
much before the conventions of the Union
war party.
"Among civilians, the manifest disposi
tion of the majority was to avoid any deeb
tied expiession upon the agitating Question
of negro suffrage in the States uudcr treat
ment for reconstruction. The radicals
wcro pretty strong, but, with a few excep-.-tions.
did not urge making an itsue with thrf'

These are the words of the resoliitiutioQ
adopted by their caucus. ' . ,
"The elements of an explosion were prcs
ent, and the quick and quiet adoption of
the rule to refer all resolutions to the Com
mittee on Resolutions, 'without reiiding or.
dehatr,' disclosed an understanding that
was danger, and a determiuation to be ju
dicious. The delegations from the First
District appointed Aaron P. Perry upon the
Committee on Resolutions, without a eon
test. In the Second District delegation; 31 r'.
Wolf made a fight against Judge Dickson,
but received only two votes. Before he Wiii
balloted for as Committeeman on Resolu
tions, Judge Dickson was called upon for an
expression of his views, and said that he
was in favor of negro suffrage, here aud
elsewhere, but was not in favor of pushing
that matter just now, and making a brealt
about it, but would cordially support the
Administration in the effort making to re
deem the fallen State.". v
"Some hundreds of sets of resolution
were drawn up, at home, by gentlemen who
fancied they had a call to save the country

of literature from which to select, ana, after

The Alabama Claloi.
The London Herald, in noticing the Amef-1
ican claim of damages from F,ngliind for the
spoliations commit.ed on American com
merce by the rebel privateer Alabama,
which was fitted out in England, says:
"Neither this vessel, nor any of its oonei
sorts, the Southern cruisers which were
built in England, left our shores so euipad,
for service 83 to come strictly withy the
terms of our Foreign Enlistment Act. Everi
had they dune so, it would have been oup.
business not that of Americans. Their
builders and equipcrs would have commit
ted an offense against our municipal law
but riot against .International Law, which
distinctly allow as te fiirnish ..armed ves
sels to belligerents. Andrew Joliristorf
must rest content with this decision, and
accept this rebuff, or ho must prepare hinw
selt to enter tho lists against the two great
powers which humbled the eollossus of the
North. France or .England, singly are v's
match for any power in the world. No
State now existingcan withstand their united
strength The feeling that while united;
they are irresistable, should make them firm
in their dealings with semi-barbarous gov
ernments. If there is one thing more clear
than another as to the policy which it be
hooves them both to follow in the future, il
is that in all questions concerning America
they should act in concert. Tho reckless
people of this country have an eye upoij

they can attack siugly. they will fall an eay

this ambition " by resisting in unison thj!
