Coxat Columbus Ohio. -Gov.": Cox acquitted himself wittf Smarted distinc tion in the late war. He is known as a moderate Republican. " "We are glad .to find him standing firmly by the great party that saved the Union : " But what shall the terms be ? "Here we leave the general principle and descend to practical detail, and here, as was inevitable, differences of opinion arise. There were able men among us who regarded the rebellion and its subjection as a favorable epoch grant ed by Providence to give us the opportunity of bringing the Constitution of the General Government and of all the States to ideal perfection at one swift bound. There were others who believed that the changes made should be the fewest which could possibly consist with the revolution in the social sys tem and the domestic institution of the South made by the war. Between these there would of course be many shades of opinion, and discussion and comparison of views ne cessarily preceded any general concert to any policy whatever. I shall not stop to inquire whether the period of debate has been un necessarily prolonged, for I see no good to result from such inquiry, and no important influence it could have upon the discrimi nation of -our present duty. For the same reason I shall not discuss the spirit with which the debate has been conducted, nor ask whether one or another has indulged in improper acrimony or blameable license of speech. I must, however, express a regret that what appears to be a purely practical question of detail, should have led into a discussion, almost entirely the oretic, of the powers and authorities of different depart ments of the government over the subject of restoration or reconstruction. The constitu tional history of Great Britain is made up of an interminable series of disputes about legislative privilege or executive preroga tive, and no other class of quarrels has pro ven so bitter and so passionate. The opera tion of our Government in peaceful times is so well regulated by our written Constitu tion that such controversies cannot well arise. It is only in an anomalous and revo lutionary time that they become possible, and for this very reason they ought not to occur at all. If the terms on which the re bellion is ended and tlie country restored to peace are acceptable to the loyal people of the country, and so acceded as to be binding upon all concerned, we need not care a cop per who began, conducted, or ended the pro cess. No example is to be set that may be dan gerous in the future, because like circum stances cannot occur, and it would be non sense to attempt to provide for them if they could. Revolutions make no precedents. When they come, they break through all rules, and in your modes of dealing with them it is impossible to reduce them to the form of any statute, for "in such case" the.-e is none " made and provided." Let the peo ple be satisfied that the terms of settlement are right, and accepted by the South so as to be binding, and they will make short work of all debates of the kind I have spo ken of. They will pass the same iudcmient upon such wars of words as a celebrated old English divine passed upon the discussion of forms of worship, when he inquired what they were confending for : "For religion ? no ! for the body of religion ? not so much ! for the garment of the body of religion ? no, not for so much ; but for the fringes of the garment of the body of religion !" Let us then put away all these questions about " fringes," and come practically to tho " body" of the subject at least, asking what terms have been proposed for the settlement of our controversy with the South, and how these plans or policies differ. Looking at the matter in the order of time, we find the Pres ident of the United States, soon after the surrender of Lee nnd Johnson, indicating the terms on which he would favor the restora tion of the political status of the Southern people. lie demanded of them, first, abso lute submission to the authority as the Fed eral Government ; second, the adoption of the amendment to the Constitution abolish ing slavery ; third, the repudiation of tlie debts incurred by the South in prosecuting the war against the Government ; fourth, equal protection by law for the civil and personal rights of the freedmen. By the proclamation of amnesty large classes of per sons whose responsibility for the rebellion was supposed to be greatest were left under the penalties of the law, and were not reliev ed of any of the disabilities they had incur red. It is a noteworthy fact that the Presi dent demanded also the acceptance of thse conditions in the form which was at that time the strongest that could be precribed ; namely, by the change of the Federal Con stitution so far as preliminary steps had then been taken by Congress for its amendment, and in the other cases by the change of the constitutions of the several States themselves. In short, the doctrine was dis tinctly and emphatically recognized that "ir reversible guaranties" should be given for the observance of the terms imposed. Had the Thirty-eighth Congress embodied all these propositions in an amendment to the United States Constitution as they did that ot the abolition of slavery, it is impossible to enter tain a doubt that the President would have insisted upon that form ratifying aud gua ranteeing the whole. It is moreover notori ous, and I believe it is not questioned, that the administration plan involved the prob able demand, through the legal forms, of the equitable adjustment of the representation of the several States in Congress. These two other propositions, viz : continuing disabili ties for leading rebels, and equalization of representation, properly make part of the administration programme of restoration,and may therefore be numbered as the 5th and oth in the series. If we turn to the plan and policy adopted by the Union party of Ohio, in its State Con vention, we shall find, (to the astonishment of some perhaps) that these identical terms are embodied in it and constitute its essence. It there is any difference whatever it is in form and not substance. The whole 6 may be there enumerated in order : 1, submission to law ;2,abolitionofslavery ; 3, repudiation of rebel debt ; 4, protection of freedmen ; 5, disqualification of rebel leaders, and 6, equal ization of representation. The tally is com plete ! And not only are they all there, but they are all that arc there. Will it be ob jected that these terms are embodied in the form of an amendment to the Federal Con stitution ? The answer is plain and conclu sive that if the Southern States in good faith are willing to accept such terms as a finality, they cannot object to placing their accep tance beyond the reach of their own recall and where our consent must be had to any fu ture changes in them. To higgle upon that question would raise reasonable doubts as to the good faith of acceptance. They would have reason to be ofiended if we should assume that they eould do so. We simple carry out more perfectly the original idea of the Ad ministration programme that the guaranties should: be as far as p6ssible irreversible. But it may be urged that some of these terms are varied in form from the President's propositions. Let us see how far that is a valid ' objection Take the disqualifying clause. It cannot be denied that the class es excepted in the amnesty proclamation are . incomparably larger than the one described " in the amendment, if those reached by the one may be pardoned by the President in de tail, those included in the other may be re lieved by vote of 3ongfees, and once let the country be assured of the sincerity of the Southern communities , in .their returning to " loyalty, and I would pledge my life that the amnesty would be voted, not by a two-thirds vote merely, dus oyone absolutely unani mous. For my own part I have looked up- on the terrible experience of iheWar itself as' the best possible-safeguard'- against future rebellions,and asl hoki the protection of the . . . . . . . i .. : . : -i ' community to do me cuici uujcvv iu-jjuuuu' - . . ' . -. ' -r I - - 1 .T mg political OttenseSjV i:flttTe,.regrueu. in flictionaof anv sort upon whole classesbfeiti zens as unnecessary and therefore unadvisable. I remember that Hallam a high authority in the nhilosonhv of history, has declared that " elemenev is the standing policy of consti tutional srovernnients, as severity is of des potism," and that the great Lord Chatham adopted the " bold, vet, as it proved, most safe and wise policy of raising Highland Regiments from the lately disaffected clans' soon after the last cflort oi tue smarts to re cover the English, throne. . Rebellion had be come chronic in the mountains of Scotland. and through three generations the Highland men had lost no opportunity 'of disturbance. Their fathers fought under Montrose for the dethroned family, and the grandsons were out under the romantic Chevalier, yet as soon as they had learned the lesson that the (Jovera ment was too strong for them and more than twenty years afterward, when our re volution again brought up the question how yankees should be dealt with, the old states man, who was our advocate, referred with pride to his policy in regard to the clans, ex claiming "thev were reclaimed by this means 1" Every American must bow with more than ordinary respect to that authority. I know that the same spirit pervades the Union Partv. and every honest observer must admit that the most earnest advocates of universal amnesty have been found amongst those known as the extreme radi cals. If we look for a difference of policy be tween the Administration and the Union party on the subiect of the basis of represen tation, we shall fail again to find anything essential. The suggestion ot the one was that representation basefl uppon votes would be equitable, the other has embodied that idea in a section of the proposed Amendment, Where then shall we find a collision of plans? On the proposition that the States are not dead, and that the right of represen tation is an inalienable attribute ot their ex istence, I am told. I deny totally that the Union party in word or deed has committed itself in opposition to that doctrine. It is no secret to any of you that I have advocated the immediate admission to Congress of loy al representatives as rapidlv as such should be duly elected and present themselves, and I have not been unobservant of the action of the party in regard to the question. Whilst I, therefore, in common with you all have witnessed much debate on this subiect, and know full well that strong efforts were made to secure another result, yet the fact remains clear to all who will sec, that such enorts failed, that no theories were adopted, but that the strongest jossiblc practical pledge was given in the case ot 1 ennessee that the acceptance of the terms I have been describ ing would be followed by the immediate ad mission of Representatives and Senators. If any one complains that this was not done sooner, I shall only ask of what use is it to discuss that point. The vital question to the Southern States is, how shall this period of semi-anarchy be quickest ended. I have promised to adhere to practical questions of present importance and interest, and cannot sec how any good can be gotten by stopping to ask whether more speed could have been made. It took so long. So much we know and may regret, but regrets will not change the fact. The exercise of the right of repre sentation was interrupted during the war. the administration ottered to lavor the re sumption of the right not unconditionally. but upon the acceptance of certain terms and conditions which I have endeavored to detail specifically. Congress, by its final action, he said, "agreed, provided these same conditions be put in the shape of an amendment to the Federal Constitution." 1 here is the whole controversy in a nutshell. I have already said all I care to say upon the folly of refu sing that proviso which lias reference only to form, when the thing to be done is professed ly agreed upon. U he quickest, the easiest way of securing the representation desired is then for the Southern States to adopt the amendment, every principle of which they claim to have submitted to already when they profess to have accepted the administra tion plan. If our distinguished friend who is on the stand with me (Mr. Sliellabarger) will permit me to say so, I will confess that the liveliest surprise that I have felt during the past sea son was in view of the fact that the Presi dent did not congratulate Congress and the country at the close of the -session, upon the substantial harmony of policy which had been the result of such long deliberations. What then shall we say of the organised efiort which lias recently been made in a great Convention to produce the conviction upon the country ,tliat the Union party is com mitted to revolutionary measures which tend to the perpetuation of anarchy, and the per manent denial of the right cf representation ? What can we say, but that the passions and antagonisms engendered by warm dispute, upon other questions, have been transferred to those upon which the only difference is verbal, or rather, is only with regard to the form of the guaranty upon the bond of set tlement whose other terms are agreed upon ? If the South should at once adopt the Con stitutional amendment, how utterly all the dispute about theories of executive or legis lative power would sink into insignificance ? If it is rejected, how plain it is that it will be done because the terms themselves (which I have shown are considered' right by the Administration and Congress alike) are ob- i jeeted to, and not because the form is that of amendment to the fundamental law ! In either event, the controversy about the func tions of the several departments of the Gov ernment during a revolutionary insurrection. will soon lose tueir interest lor the country and have no more real importance than a de bate whether all such civil convulsions should be inaugurated by throwing overboard a ship cargo of tea. The loyal people of -the country ask the irreversible acceptance by the Southern States of terms of settlement which every body ever connected with the Union party has admitted to be moderate and right. Shall we have it ? This I hold to be the only live issue of to-day. If all the men who have sustained the Government by their votes and their arms through the war, shall now stand together united in the demand, the thing will be done and that quickly. A true and lasting peace long looked for will have come at last. Restored order and established law will give to the battle scathed States of the South that resurrection of credit and confi dence which is needful to bring prosperity again amongst them. As nothing degrading is asked of tliein, honor will be saved, what ever they have lost, and in the new era of a progress which shall be in harmony with the principles of all Christendom, based upon that system of free labor which the whole civilized world now recognizes as the only sure foundation for a State. I verily believe they will soon learn to thank God that slav ery was destroyed, even at such awful cost. Future dangers cannot arise from the frank acceptance, without reservation, of the settle ment offered by the Union party. All the evils which can arise from a continuation of the present anomalous condition of affairs, all the dangerous questions of strifes as to the organization or composition of the for tieth Congress will be aggravated by every effort to disorganize or weaken the party in power. If that party had demanded tyrani cal or dishonorable conditions of settlement, we could understand how some'of its mem bers might draw back from its support ; but since it asks nothing but what they all have offered and what fairly carries out the com mon purpose of which ' I have spoken, I do not see how any one can be absolved from the duty of the firmest adherence to its po licy as declared until the work is thoroughly accomplished. '"The fear which some have ..tried to- xcite that ulterior purposes could control the party, ana tnat tne acceptance or the conditions now asked would not be treats ' ed by us as. a finality ,"is ' unworthy any" man whose tfeart baa ever been "with ns ; it would be unworthy even of a candidenemy. -'.' The loyal people of the North will never repudi ate their moral pledges or their pecuniary bonds. . ,The adoption of the Constitutional amendment will witness the immediate open ing of the doors of the Capitol to the South ern delegations, and as the last subject of. dispute in retcrence to the rights ot states or of persons shall be thus removed, the last possibility of renewed disturbance or of rev olutionary tumult will also have vanished, and our federal system will resume its pro gress calmly and smoothly as the heavenly planets spin through their orbits in space. The case ot Tennessee, to which I have al ready referred, is the pledge and proof of the truth of this assertion. To the full extent to which it seeks to divide and weaken the Union Republican party and to encourage the Southern States to reject the Constitutional amendment, the movement lately begun in Philadelphia tends directly to put off .the final and complete restoration of order, to preserve for the open ing of the next Congress all the dangerous disputes which afford tempting opportuni ties to ambitious demagogues and reckless agitators to renew appeals to force and to in volve the country in anarchy and revolution. I shrink from contemplating the results which might follow, and as I have never hesitated to support any practical measures which have promised even a tolerably satisfactory settlement of our disturbances, and have not stopped to enquire by whom they were started or whose theories they sustained, I now feel that I have the right to advise my fellow citizens of Ohio to remain constant in their support of this great Union organiza tion, because it offers the speediest, the surest, and the best attainable solution of the diffi cult problem of restoring republican equali ty of government in a land so long convuls ed by civil war.' Let the differences which arose in the period of debts, be forgotten, now that we have reached the period of ac tion ; let us fasten our attention upon the moderation, the simplicity, the iustice of the plan of settlement actually proposed, and challenge the history of the world to show when a triumphant people ever exhibited equal generosity to the vanquished. Nay, the challenge has already been answered by a liberal minded Englishman, the Professor of History at Oxford, (Prof. Goldwin Smith) who has publicly declared that we have shown, "both in the war and after it, a humanity which may be almost said to form an epoch in the moral history of our race." I he satiaiiictiou I leel in the fact that we have merited such praise, would of itself, re move any disposition to appeal to your pas sions against those who recently confronted us in rebellion. War cries were useful to stir the blood when troops were to be led to the charge, but the work we have now to do calls for judicial wisdom and firmness ming led, and will consist best with true temper ance of both thought and speech. Our opponents tell us that by our conduct of the war we are unfitted to form a per manent party in peace : but if we are wise we shall falsify their prophesies and their hopes. Wc do not lose the respect of our old enemies at the South, nor lay any insur mountable obstacle in the way of their uni ting with us in the conduct of peaceful affairs when wc show that we ask nothing but what may be fairly included under the legitimate results of the war. To ask less would be a folly which would make us contemptible in their eyes as well as in all other peojiles, and would dimmish rather than increase the chances of the rapid growth of good under standing and mutual good will. The time. trust is not many months distant, when the problem of restoration being fully solved, we shall turn our common energies to the work of developing the resources of the whole country. To encourage us, we have the cheering words ot the same intelligent observer whom I have quoted saying. " For ultimate reoonciliation when once the actual wound shall have been healed, and the lackened relics of the war shall have disap- eared, the clemency ot the conqueror has nobly paved the way." Under the guiding wisdom or that good Providence which has brought us safely thus far, there is then, as I firmly believe, good reason to declare that the Union party will not destroy itself, but will prove its capacity to rule the destinies- of the country through long years of peace. as it has done in these few but momentous- vears of war." For the Standard. To the Union Men of North-Carolina. The new Constitution has been defeated- and it now remains to be seen, if the Union men of this State are going to allow Worth and those who support him, to run over them without any show of opposition. whatever. Nothing is impossible, and if the Union: men all over the state wnl rise up m their might and present a bold front to the pres ent dominant party, Worth can be beaten. I am certain no true Lmon man will support Worth, and it becomes them to begin to act aud bring out their candidates for Governor and the Legislature. My first choice is the Hon. Geo. W. Logan, or Kutlierlord, out I am willing to give way for some one, that the Howard Amendment, does not exclude from office, provided it is; adopted, .ind I think it will be. The only man that L know that is eminently qualified for the position of Governor, is Gen. Alfred Dockery, of Richmond County. If the Howard Amendment is adopted, Worth if elected, cannot be Governor ; Gen. Dockery if elected can take his seat, because he is not under tlie ban. Such being the case. Gen. Dockery is the man. He possesses the conhdence ot the people of this State, he can be elected. It should be the aim of the Union men of this State to throw no obstacle in the way of estoration. If they run Gen. Logan, it will be said that he was in the rebel Congress ; if they run Capt. Thos. Settle, it will be said, he served in the rebel army ; and almost every man, except Gen. Dockery, has had. something to do with the rebellion. Gen. Dockery is for the white basis. He is for this government being controlled by white men. and having white men represented, in the Legislature uliolly. A word to the Union men of this State r Do the Union men of this State wish to be trampled further in the dust because they have dared to love the old Flag; am they content to allow Worth and his friends; to rule them any longer? Are they willing to have all the offices of honor, trust, and. profit filled with men, whose greatest merits are having served "our beloved ConfederJ acy V Shall it be, that the very men, who did all they could to destroy the govern ment, and all connected with it, after their cause has been defeated, shall now be placed, in power, and that, too, because they did. all they could to destroy the government? No ; a thousand times, no. Let every Union man, go to work at oneej let meetings be held, and a candidate for Governor nomina ted, and that at once. Let not this appeal be in vain, but let every man be a " Hero in the strife." Why not have a Convention here on the; 17th of next month ? That is time enough j a sufficient number of Counties can be repre sented, and a candidate nominated. -Once more ; let this appeal be not disre garded, and it may be that the next election, will place the State in the hands of loyaL Union men.- UNION. v- Raleigh, N.

O. . - SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1. 1866. Spirit of the Southern Press. The Richmond Examiner & paper ' daily running over with' treason contains the fol lowing. The Examiner is playing its part. It wants to get back to the Union in its own way. This extract would, of itself, prove the hatred that paper feels towards the govern ment and the great body of the Northern people. It is to be regretted that General Grant was not permitted to suppress the Ex aminer, as he desired to do, a month or two since : " We were not easily to be Avon, but as we have yielded we shall stick to our bargain, and on all questions ot loyalty we mean to out-Herod Herod. Where are we to go if we do not stand by this Union ? Maximillian's empire seems to be crumbling into ruins ; we do not care to go to that scene of anarchy and contusion. Brazilian emigration is failure, and, moreover, we do not altogether like the specimens of fish, lizzards and snakes which Professor Agassiz sent on from the head waters of the Amazon. Canada is too cold for us. We always had a holy horror of Blue-noses, and we have no desire to be raid ed upon by the Fenians. It is, therefore, very clear that we are very loyal and that it is impossible, or, at least, highly inadmissi ble, tor us to be otherwise. We have noth ing to make by " rebelling" again,, even if we had the arms or the disposition. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the Rad ical Pharisees who are continually averting their pious faces and rolling the .whites of their eves in a most christian and godly man ner, will mingle hereafter some sense and pro bability with their future discussions of Southern, loyalty. In all texts, whether of the world,' the flesh or the devil, we think we can compare tavoraoly with them. Both in t his world and at the judgment, we incline to the bcliel that our obligations to all gov ernments, human and divine, will be found to. have been discharged equally as well as theirs, we want it distinctly understood that, having failed to get away from this government, we intend now not only to stand by it ourselves, but to aid in making all oth ers do the same, whenever we are called upon to do so. Let the Radicals bear this in mind when they attempt " rebellion" after they are beaten at tue rail elections. The Richmond Enquirer takes its friend Doolittle to task for saying, in the Philadel phia Convention, that "the South has been punished." It says: " Even such men as Mr. Doolittle perpe trated the nonsense of saying, as he lately did in Saratoga, that " the south has been punished, and in his judgment, sufficiently punished, to make her feel most keenly the enormity ot the- crime wuicn she origin ated." Doolittle- ought to have discernment enough to know that what he calls punish ment, we feel to have been an outrage, and that when he speaks of enormous crime, there is not a Southern man whose judgment does not lav the epithet at the door of the North itself. It is we against whom has been committed an enormous crime." A correspondent of the Richmond Whig demands the release of Mr. Davis, as follows : In one most important respect the Presi dent's last "Peace Proclamation" greatly dis appoints us. The measure of Andrew John son's magnanimity and instico to the defeat- ed-,section is yet dwarfed and' its symmetry impaired by his failure to issue a proclama tion of amnesty, or of free and full pardon to. all the- prominent Confederate officials who participated in the late war for indepen dence. As long as a pure, tinsel fizh, noble Christian hero, statesman and soldier like ex- President Davis is-immured .in. a dreary pris on, and subjected to the insults of.a coarse brute like Miles, and left to the tender mer cies of a judicial ruffian who has declared that he " could pack a jury which would con vict Jefferson Davis," the President will not occupy, in the eyes of Christendom, the ele vated position which he is entitled to fill. And it that nohle old Confederate eaqle dies inthe etutches of the " mousing owl," whose slow but systematic torture has driven him to the verge of the grave, history will not as sign to Andrew Johnson the proud niclie which we would gladly see him occupy. If lie wishes to be remembered through all ages as .one of the wisest as well as one of the most humane of rulers, he should unlock the prison gates and restore to liberty the unfortunate ex- Presulent of the Confederate States. To us the proclamations of the President Ifcat the war is at an -.endi that the authority of the law is now supreme, and that the privilege of 'the writ of habeas corpus is restored, sound like hollow and deceptive mockeries, while Underwood declares that we still have a pris oner of war immured at Fortress Monroe by order of the Presulent. How can we believe that our liberties have been restored and that we have been restored to all our constitutional-rights, guaranties and" securities against illegal arrests and imprisonments,- when all resort to the privilege ot the writTot habeas corpus is denied to the " prisoner of war," to whose Iaily and mghthr torture an .officer ot the army of the United States has- devoted all, of. liis time and cruel and wicked energies since the month of May, 1865." The Richmond Times refers as follows t? the Union Convention, to be held in Phila delphia on .the 3d September : The Conservative Convention having proved a splendid success, the Disunionista, Revolutionists, Negro Suffrage advocates and demoralized insurrectionists of the Southern States are preparing for their third of Sep tember convention in Philadelphia. Richly as the Hahns, the Hamiltons, and the Mao kenzics deserve exposure and chastisement, we could wish them uo more terrible fate than :to get the whole herd together in a large hall, separated from the spectators. The de pravity, meanness, malignancy and insignifi cance of. this clique of reckless agitators and incendiaries would then stand revealed to the whole world. The Devil ha branded some of these men with such unmistakable evi dences of .his. proprietorship jv that a single look-would suffice to reveal their true char avtter. . The cunning Radicals, who,, haye had an opportunity of seeing these creatures when they, appeared , before the Reconstruction Committee to slander, villify and. defame their section, know that it will never do to exhibit them to the people of the North as a body of delegates. They are therefore to be well mixed up with a vast crowd of well dressed, decent-looking spectators and out siders, .so that the Southern " disunionists," " revolutionists" and " incendiaries" cannot be suigled out either by the anxious detec tivesor the honest masses of Northern fanat ics who will collect to look" at the show. In this-way these men may, by escaping obser vation, still be regarded as noble and coura-? geous " martyrs" and " patriots."- But if thev could be cap-ed toorothpr or hurrlpH 0 V ' " www without admixture with their Northern gym. puwuzera, Micir autnirers, use tne worsnip- pers-oi .aapKanna, wnen the veil was rent from the hideous features of the" false prophet, would be shocked and humiliated- at the thought of having sympathized with, such men."' v. .- 1 The Richmond Whig boasts that is not subdued.;.

"V"' , . v - The Union -Springs (Alabama) timet ex presses its opinion as- follows about General Sheridan and other Union Generals : : "General Phil. Sheridan grew," during the war, to be quite notorious. His blood is Irish, and, being an Irishman, he was full 0f fight. He commanded Irishmen. They would fight. Hence, in an army of Yankee blue-bellies, who were most splendidly drill ed in retrograde tactics, and against a'man whose taste for peach brandv was stronger than his sense of duty, this little five-feet eight of resolute Finneganism made some reputation. .We rather liked the little fellow on account of his pluck, and were "hid to see him promoted, even in an army of craven and thieves. He studied hard at West Point he behaved well in Washington Territory! and it pleased us to see him escape the pa ternal pick and shovel which had contribi--ted largely to the internal improvements of Why, then, has he spoiled all by his fool ish show of authority ? Why has he proved to the world that he is only a vulgar ditcher at heart after all, and that his high rank is not the reward of merit, but the mere result of fortuitous circumstances? This i3 really too bad. We have henceforth to acknowl edge these Yankee hybirds as conntrvnien and it $gjd be gratifying to Southern rCnI tlemeijow that some of them had last claimstovSKcency and respect. But, one by one, the leaders of the Northern army show themselves to be only blackguards and brag garts. ' fa Butler turned thief at the start; Turchin was a natural-born imp of perdition r Thom as has displayed a remarkable aptitude for giving white people's churches to his black betters; Sherman found the torch a more con genial weapon to his unknightly nature than the sword ; Grant tried to be a politician, and failed as signally as when he attempted t defeat Lee fairly ; and now one of the small fry, a short tailed, slimy tadpole of the latter spawn, the blathering disgrace of an hohext. father, an everlasting libel upon his Irish blood ine scorn of orave men and the sinonvm of in famy, Major General Phil.

This Editor would have thrust his hand into the fire before he would have written in this style about Union Generals, in 1863. But treason grows by indulgence. If this. thing is allowed to go on, the end. must be another civil war. Protection, to Union Men. At a meeting of Union citizens of Guil ford, Randolph, and Forsythe Counties re cently held- at Deep River, Guilford, the following among other resolutions, was adopted : licsolved. That should Congress find' the obstacles toan early restoration insurmounta ble, we believe it should make provisipn for the protection of'the Union men of the- South until order shall be fully restored.. Such leading citizens as Jonathan Harris, member of.'the late State Convention, Dr.. Nerus Mendenhalf, and Messrs, -Pugh, Hol ton, Tourgee, and Trogden took part in. this meeting. The meeting-was large, and, by a. vote of 102 to 20, a call was made on Congress- for protection to Vie Union men. What will. the Sentinel say to that? What-will' Gov.. Worth say ?
