steals its unobtrusive way among the hills
till it spreads out into the
tbe beautiful Ohio.
Thence it stretches out a thousand miles
leaving on its banks its hundred villages
and cities, and cultivated farms, and bear
ing ou its bosom more than half a thou
sand steamboats. Then joining the Mis
sissippi, it stretches away some twelve
hundred miles more, till it falls into the
emblem of eternity.' It is one of the
great tributaries of the ocean, which, obe
dient only to God, shall roll and roar till
the ’ angel, with one foot on thé sea and
the; other on the land, shall lift up his
hands to Heaven and swear that time shall
be no longer. So with moral influence.
It is a rill—rivnlet—or an ocean bound

RESPONSIBILITY
*
It is amusing to hear deserters form the
draft and able bodied young men who
never exposed their precious bodies in
sight of the enemy, loudly vaunting the
prowess of their party, and talking about
what “we’’did in “suppressing the le-
bellion,” and how “ we have the right to
dictate terms to the enemy. Who can
name one General, dielinguiehed for gal
lant services in the field, and whose hands
arc not spiled by plunder, who does not
sustain the . reconstruction policy of the
President against the vindictive and de-,
structive policy of the Radicals in Con
gress ? The soldiers, excluded from all
intellignnce during the war but such as
was obtained through Abolition paper»
which were alone permitted circulation
among them, were taught to believe that
the Democratic party was in lull sympa
thy with the enemy, and hostile to them
selves ; but how many of them, even uu
der such influences, accept the nogro
equality pc licy of the Radicals ? The
Veteran Soldiers Association of “ San
Francisco unanimously refused to join the
procession on the late celebration of Inde
pendence Day unless thte negroes were ex
cluded. and every Radical paper in San
Francisco denounced such exclusion as
an cutrage. Show us a man who'talks of
viudictive measures towards the South,
and we will be bound to show you a pol
troon who never exposed himself to dan
der in vindicating the integrity of the
Union, or one who disgraced himself by
cowardice and incompetency if thrown
into such situation. Brave men never
torture prisoners or insult a fal en enemy.
The natural sympathies of tbe Radicals
are exhibited in every conflict between
¡honorable whi and cowards and sneaks,
by taking sides with the latter. Of all
the false pretences set up by the Radicals
none is more mandacious an 1 impudent
than that of claiming the'exclusive credit
of having conquered the South, or of hav
ling contributed, to that result in a degree
proportionate to their numbers, Lvery
m m whp allow» hid reason and Observa
tion fair play will acknowledge this fact.
No one need go beyond the circle of his
own acquaintance for a comparison by
which to judge. lie will find with no-
noble exception, the most notorious cow
ard.«, the most blawling declaimcrs for
vengeance, Take,
lake, for
tor example, General
Steele, than whom few men have present
ed a better fighting record, and the best
specimen of the Radical leader that can

my, but submission to the Constitution
anii the laws; the latter will talWoudly
of “ the conquest WE have Won ” and de
mand the blood of the vanquished, under
the pretext of “ punishing treason-” The
men who provoked the war, had little to
do with fighting the battles; the men who
oppose the restoration of the Union, did
little to defend it when imperiled.— Ore
