We rejoice to-day over the result of two rebellions one a succors, the oth- er a failure. To tome minds it seems b;nd irrevocably the manacles of the down-trodden tyranny cursed of earth; you read to them the doleful tale that oppression's chains are theirs, theirs forever, and their children's only lega- cy. Men are true to the past, though J ' J records the truth. he iiumcrtalizes a Wallace, cot because he rebelled against England s Government, but be cause he unsheathed his sword ia de fence of Scotland's Liberty. A Tell will live forever not because he was a rebel again?t the Governor of Uri, but because he drew his bow for free dom, and sent his arrow to a tyrant's neart. Washington we honor, not solely because he rebelled against Eug 1 but see thai old, cardinal rule "That thor.e who do not reign in righteousness shall be banished from the earth."' aN'mety years ago our Taihers, in the Declaration of Independence, so well read in your hearing, laid the founda tion for a free Government, which since has grown to a powerful Nation spanning a Continent and taking her stand among the prpvdett Nations of the earth. The question of what sort oFGovern tnent will best enhance the welfare of its suljects, can best inaiutain itself-the most durable remain no longer un answered. In the eyes even of envious -Monarchs and aristocrats, experitneui.. The greal problem is .solved. The bloody struggle just past must tatisfrthe world iliit a free Gov ernment cau never be ovt rthrown, no matter howformidable the powers that aiterrpt it. The enquiring mind asks, from whence comes- this national strength and vitality ? Why is it that we have crushed a rebellion such as no other nation ever crushed ? It is simply because our Nation rests 'upon and 1 raws Jier strength and vitality from the eternal principles of Tal-tii, LiDtitTY and Justice.--Upon this day our fathers laid her fooadaiian deeply imbeded in ever-enduring Truth," in these wordsi ''All meu. are created equal; theyre endowed by their Cre ator with Ccertain inaifCtiable rights, among which are Life-j. Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.' Tfiat to se cure these rights Governments are in stituted auirtig men, drawinglheir just powers from the consent of the. govern eJ." It is if ue our Fathers, in rearing the superstructure, were forced," under ! existing circumstances, to put rn, alonsr ! wi'h o;hcr material, the r alien, decay ing and decomposing, one, of Lunmn Slaver u. Riuht here was our weak ness. . To us it proved to be the for bidden fruit . ... "Wtioe ruorti;! last--' brunalit Peatii Into cut World, ' " With le.-a of Edea." - . . i -., i . YetitiM, in the bid-superstructure there was so much ofrruth. of liberty and of humanity, that she enervates her sons with that which makes true hearts and strong" arms, bhe aimed to wrong no one, and tha ktvers of . right every where became her friends." Imper fect iri BOme things, she still rested up on the correct theory. Unlike monar chies or aristocracies, her blessings visited not only the stately mansion, but, descending to the lowly cot, there dilTused joy. bhe fostered intelligence and morality. The friend of science and of arts, prosperity sprang forth at her bidding, ind a Jong hlaze or glory lingers in her traiu." .'1 he solution, then, of that problem which ages have been solving, is this : That Government is tLe most prosperous, the most stable and the greatest, whose principles are Truth, Liberty and Justice. Let us ever remember that these truths are what constitute our strength- and dura' bility. It is truth that makes nations live, it 13 falsehood and error that makes them die. It is ordained of old that falsehood should he short lived, whilst truth endures forever. W icked as this world is, men still love the truth: it may be hard to find; but when there, who is it that does not lore to linger amid her bowers and drink at her pe rennial fountain. ' Our Nation has more of truth, and less of- falsehood, now than ever the had. This struggle has pi rifled her. The rebellion came, not because we were a frod govern ment, but because the elements of tyr anny were in our midst. Slavery was its cause. It came because men in our land became bold enough to declare our Declaration of Independence a lie. They forgot to celebrate this day. They no longer revered the institutions of our Fathers. They forgot the teachings of the plain old Washington of the Revolution, and' they became traitors in order to establish a: landed aristocracy, whose foundation was hu man sdavery, and rebellion came. A little over four years ago our Temple of Liberty stood supported by thirty four columns (the States). Nineteen of these were composed of Liberty's firmed, purest marble. The other fif teen were made up or composite ma terial ; intermixed with freedom, was that dark falsehood the crimson-dyed wrong from which the crime of treason sprang. Many of these columns were even then crumbling from the edifice refusing longer to support it. For nearly two long years did our noble Lincoln, amid the crash of falling- col umns, aided by our Grants and our Shermans fn the field and our Sewards and Stantons in the Cabinet, endeavor to gather up and bind the falling frag ments to our building ; but in vain. The antagonistic elements of freedom and slavery ' refused longer to adhere together. They must be separated, and the decaying and crumbling col umus refitted, or the proud Temple of Freedom must forever crumble to dust. Lincoln saw that it was thus, aiid'de tei mined that the edifice of our Fath ers shordd be saved, let what else per ish that might. Slavery was eradicat ed all else was saved. We have come to-day to proclaim to the world that those column?, which envious mon archs thought would no longer give support to the American edifice, are being refitted or I might say rebuilt rising in majestic proportions, gilded by universal liberty. : They are des tined to stand, giving support to the world's nob! est Temple, while man loves Liberty or Truth endures. Henceforth the Amerfcau Union will be a Union of hands and a Union of heart. . i - .v. It would be unjust, perhaps, ifi we were to pass over in silence the great actors of this nvghty contest just past. Foremost among them is our Martyred President. Of lowly parentage springing from the masses he relied upon them with a confidence vouch saved to few. Well : he knew when the dark clouds of rebellion first . rose in our political horiztm, that the peo ple -.rltSne ctnili fcn re th'e tountry. In his own prairie home he received calm ly the approaching storm, whose black ness threw a lurid glare over the en tire land. It was when that storm had gathered, and all knew tbnt sooner or later it must break with all its dread consequences upon us; that he started for the Capitol. Everywhere the peo ple crowded around him. Mn his plain, yet-eloquent manner he spoke to them as if he came to council them; asking them question of momentous import questions which for a while became the intellectual thought of the Nation, and which after the? fall of Sum pier . broke forth -in that mighty ; tide of pa- , triotistn, giving, as if by mag'tci seventy-five thousand soldiers for - the de fence of our Flag and Capitol. -The I surging events'around him nerved him to his mighty taski :Liki some deep ly im boded" rock that stands) amid i aold ocean, he itemed ta . court !theieiy vaves.of rfcbeliioa'iorily to -j slash. ., ihetn l. a.,. -in A i cOufoliiiff inert.' tX.rv.eior3.: .years-; the tide of battle ebbed and flowed. The time, had come for a decisive step to be taken. The Crisis of a jYalion was at hand.i Down in the land of re .bellion there - manacled were four millions of Clod's people, silent specta tors of the mighty contest. Liucolu had long pondered whether if to give that people freedom . would not place them on the side .of the Union. At length the d-itf is cast.. . lie seizes a p8n ."and .writes them jiiee." Next to our -Declaration qt Indepen dence, humajjity's greatest victory the world's noblest deed.. Making. : our cause sdoubly 'dear;; henceforth our brave men in the field fought not only to preserve the nation, to restore the Union, but also for liberty in its purest sense. . And one hundred thousand dusky forms, as if in gratitude for the act, seized the musket. The tide of battle turns in our favor. Victory hes iiates but little longer until she perch es upon our banner., This act alone would have immortalized him. He finished the work assigned hiiu. It was nobly done; and then he was cow ardly assassinated murdered because he loved Liberty and .'-revered the in stitutions of our .Fulhers." He has gone gone to join the Martyrs of our own revolution, and all that "illustrious band" who, iu the world's history, have fought and died in freedom's cause. Angels . will welcome him for . 'Oil, if there lie in tins innn lane Kplitre, A boon, an ulieriuK Heaven holds dear; Ti the lat iikation Liberty draw, Froir the lie art that Llcads and die in her causa."' His death .was the saddest hour of our Nation. . Near his home in the broad prairies of his adopted State, hs sleeps. His "Tomb the Mecca of our land." In Fame's Temple , he takes his place by the side of. Wash ington. The savior of our Country and the liberator of four millions of people. No marble column can add to his fame. A bestoreu Usiox is ii i s Mo.iVMEM. Universal Eman cipation is uis . lifriTAFii. Yet he belongs not to us alone".' 'All mankind c'aim him. The world will catch the glowing iheme of his praise, as upon this day it wells up from ih "pride and love or our own race, and from the deep gratitude of another," and will echo it back. Xor yet !l Hero of ! Landalooe, Fur tinue's a mu.f. all -N'alioli claim their own; To every elime where breathe the irood and brTe, Lchu'a the ju aitt thy uwn Country gave." And hereafter when the historian shall be called on to embody, iu one man, all of the elements of a great Statesmau, the love of Truth, of Lib erty and of Country, with stern un bending integrity and lofty purpose, shall determine his choice. "The fire of patriotism shall mantle his cheek and enkindle his eye" as he writes the name of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. We will be forced to pass in silence our warrior heroes. If we had but the time and ability, we would love to stop and wreathe a chaplet for the brow of our noble Grant emphatically the he ro of earth's greatest, grandest strug gle, and tne woriu s greatest warrior. Rut his eulogy, and tiiat of: fcherman, Sheridan, and a host of others, I shall lenve for filter tongues than mine to pronounce. "We all owe them a debt of gratitude which we can never re pay. Yet : after all, our success probably depends more upon the Amer ican people at large the common sol diery than upon anything else. Cod ding truly said that "our greatest Gen eral was our General greatness. J.he inventive genius, the . general intelli gence which, springing from myriads of common schools and colleges all over the loyal North, as if by magic, placing on every cavigable stream where re bellion raised her "hydra-head," those terrors of war, our Gun-boats; and who unaided, armed with the deadliest weapons the ' world i ever saw, her greatest army". Imbued with a love of country, they marched steadily to their purpose. .We all remember the in tense feeling with which we . followed the long line - of blue formed at Cairo under the brave Grant, as onward it went, planting our, banner upon Ft. Henry's fortifications, storming: the heichts of Donaldson ; down through ShrJoah's bloody field to that master bbw at Yicksburg, that shivered the rebellion in two and opened the Mis- issippi to commerce. They moved like an avalanche; the mighty est open ing up her arteries of trade, and crush ing, her t country s enemies. . And again; down further in the sunny south, at Mission Ridge and at Lookout Mountain, formed in eolid phalanx, the same dauntless lioys in Blue, above the cloudSr plant their country's flag in triumph. " And in all that historic campaign in which bold Sherman first proved the Confederacy to .be. but a shell, and then broke it, of never fading green are the laurels interwoven all along the battles line; from Resaca to to Atlanta and from Atlanta, to Ral eigh. Nor was it' in the.jar soutiy.or west alone that our brave boys awoke the admiration of the 'land.; On old Powraac'rjshores; down where the dark waters of the Rappahannock' flow;' the world will talk cf fcoldiers there, who, through lb treachery or. imbecility of cfiicejra, whipped .ud, -batijedi-for jhree tyettrs, axe seen gia: o .stapaon me. l 1. c .i i3 -.1 .-. .

Once acain the word, which had became, a hiss and a by-word to our. enemies throughout the world, of 'Onward to Richmond,' is giv en, and rebellion's death struggle com mences. ' ' That balile 'lifie of blue, there formed, never took a backward tep; their onward,' steady tread,- though slippery in the blood of " their fallen comrades, wavered not; uAnd backward the rebel best an borne.' ' .. They paused but to bury their dead, and aga i ti . seizing the, ; weapons of death, "hurled them at the. foe," until that foe, weakened and shattered by the shock, seeks its formidable fortifi cations at Richmond, as Us only safety; and the word comes to our wearied, battle-worn men to rest a while. Yet another blow is to be struck; they wait and abide their time. It comes at length the hour of victory dawns. The flans of Grant are perfected. That eagle eyed warrior, Sheridan, is placed in the van. The tocsin is sounded. The hitherto impregnable fortifications are scaled. The hour for which I 0:0 mac's brave heroes had so long, so pa tiently waited and fought, and for which their comrades had died, comes Rich mond is ours, and Lee a fugitive. Our brave boys pause but to give one long, loud shout of victory, and then follow the foe, - MAs westward the din of battle rolls." Far to the van, where the battle rage is hottest, is heard at times the tones of Sheridan, shouting,. "Men, advance. press on, and. Let ts ours J These words were but the prophetic notes of one whose genius taught him how to rule the battle's storm. And true as holy writ, Lee was ours. The Ameu icAn Union, tokeveh one, and Fkee T T .all DOM U FI VERSA L. All prUlSO tO OUr brave Boys in Blue. 'Go rinjf thebellsf and fire the gnos, Fllii(r your starry banner out; Suuut Frt'lmii tid your lisping ones jiv back their cradle shoot." - We take a proud position among the nations of the earth. The Cossack warrior no longer boasts of the great est army, even in numbers. For he now beholds an army of over half a million, whose every soldier is a ruler, and whose deeds of coble bravery for the last four years towers in solemn grandeur above the military achieve ments of the past. Proud thought the mighty Empire of Russia; with her oueLundred and thirty millions of sub jects, on this d iy pays her tribute of respect to us, and unfurls in her courts the banner of the Free. By our every atitude, France is told that the time is now forever past when she can again insult Freemen by invading the soil of a sister Republic. We tell her "do not longer trample upon the rights of Mexico. Withdraw your armies, and let Mexicans tay whether they want Maximillian as their ruler or not, or the laws of nations and of humanity may demand of us to draw the sword in Mexico's defence. We seek peace with you, although we might rightfully say that "T ice have we so-ignt Can Alpine's Glen ia peace; lint when we con.e again. It will bo with" tirant and S'ierkln." Anl to England we say, we are no suppliant at your knee. Build and arm again if you dare your Alabama; place your seamen upon her; and in stead of the hateful bars add stars, run up your own proud banner. Ask no Pirate Semmes to command her; and prove, if you dare, your title as Ounqueror of the Seas. Another Kearsarge will be ready to meet you. Bui beware . and have a Deerhound ready; for, in the fiery conflict that will ensue, your sluggish half-drowned seamen as their ship and banner sink beneath the billow, will perchance again wish to Violate the rules of war and flee inglorious from their conquer ors. Know, proud Britton, that Amer ican freemen have' wrested the sceptre from your tar$. Your ships no lon ger ride Mistress of the' Wave.. Our own, though now silently moored in ports from which peaceful commerce flow, only await the dread tocsin" of war to sweep our Country's enemies from the seas. Let us not retire from this scene without a deep sense7 of the obligations devolving upon us. The boom of that cannon that struck the fetters from , the Slaves and saved our land, has died away. A sacred duty devolves on us. We must preserve, by the ballot, what our brave soldiers have saved with the bullet and baybnet. No unsteady hand should hereafter hold it. Let us pon der well the lesson taught by the last fifteen years. When JefT Davis and the Southern fire-eaters first began' to preach disunion in the halls of Con gress,' vnsteddy hands too 'often held the ballots of the North, and the re sult was that, that strange compound of human beings, made up-' of toadyism, fear and love of power, known, I be lieve, as Dovgh-fucca, went to Con gress. Southern bullies, working tip en their fears and love of power, ruled them, and then flaunted their disunion without rebuker And in this way, oh, shame ! in those : halls where hangs the image of Uit Father of his . Coun try, it became popalar- to threaten to destroy-theiUnion.'- Treasonable sen unjentswutteredraild ' but'n few -. -were' found txrebuke tteinv rXbe' Ctnor'toaJ disunionist of 1SG0; the traitor of 1S01 and the condemned felon, of 1SG5 (JefT Davis), history will have" to tell you, was the ruling spirit (made so in directly hy the ballot) in the Cabinet from lS-x to 1S57, and then became one of the leaders of our Senate fjtiy virtue of the ballot) from 1S57 to 1S61, by which rime he was a full fledged traitor. Ten Jong years had he preach ed disunion. :.A traitor in theory; do you wonder that he became one ia practice? Why, there is no more wonder in it than there is in the flow ing of yonder turbid stream, or the wav ing of your golden harvest, which, springing from industry's hand, deck your cultivated fields. Armed with the ballot, a weapon mightier than the sword, let us strike down disunion, se cession, and all other enemies of our Country. Humanity, and the Liberty loving of all earth, demand it of us. For the world hereafter will come to the American ballot-box to learn her destiny. And when she come?, let her find no traitor there none but the truly Loyal, who have looked with sorrow upon a land draped in mourn ing, who have wept over her three hun dred thousand new made graves; and who now, with bold hearts and steady hands, declare that, no matter what else may perish, they will at all haz ards preserve (by the ballot) those in stitutions so dearly purchased by the blood of our Fathers, and reconsecra ted by the fallen on every battle-field in the great struggle just past. That they will make secession but a fit ob ject for scorn to point her "slow unmov mg finger at," Disunion hateful, Trea son odious, and Liberty, Union and Country, Forever dear. We are, to-day, the model Govern ment of the World. Peace reigns throughout our land; not the peace that comes from right compromising with error, of liberty giviDg up a part to tyranny. Thank Gud, Loyalty made no compromise with Treason, and so peace comes clothed in Liberty, Justice and Humanity, to bless not only us, but our children and our children's children. Who is there now that ic not proud of being an American but thauks his Maker that his homo is here ? 'CJreaiGed we thank thee for this home.

THEXAKLU ISSL'L:. The negro has been liberated. Gov ernment announces to him that he is a freeman. As such, he becomes amen able to laws and subject to obligations which did not affect him in his former condition. He must suppoit himself by labor. lie must pay taxes, He must meet various other requisitions. He cannot be expected to do well to ad vance in the social scale, to accumulate means, to develop intellectual capacity without the advantage and encour agement of the political franchise. lie must have the ballot to protect himself; to enable him to overcome the effects of prejudices which would else con tinue him in virtual Slavery; to give him a substantial contFol over his own position. As a measure of safety, and for the support of Government in the South, he must be allowed to vote. This is the naked issue. Public sentiment is very generally coming to the conclusion we have indicated. But the movewent cannot and should not be forced. A revolution so over whelming and complete requires time. The negroes are to be made ready, and the loyal people of the Soudi are to be ' made willing. This is the pres ent task of the Administration and of the temporary' Provisional Govern ments. Opinion in the Northern Stales is right opinion in the South will be made right President John son is traveling as rapidly as the pos ture of affairs justifies .him in doing. Let those who are vager . for a com pletion of the revolution have'patience, and in due season all will be well. Albany Evening Journal. ! Modest! Mrs. 11. E. Lee, wife of the late Gen.

It contains within its blessed monosylables an analysis of wealth it is fortune's stepping stone and a letter of credit none can distrust wherever it goes. It is the right bower of economy, .and maid of honor to pleasure; fills the day hours with quiet, and drives tha bailiff from the night dream. "Pay as you go," and you will know how fast you are go ing, how far you have gone, and when it is time to stop tradesmen will bow when they meet you, and debt, with its hungry wolf tread will starve on your trail. "Pay as you go," tempers luxury and chastens waat, adds dignity to the poor man and grace to tho rich man, wrongs none and is justice to all. Hero is an antidote for much that is tho phi losopher's stone here is a motto for manhood here la a leaven for any sized lump. Young man, "pay as you go,' and when j-ou get old you will not depart from it other virtues will certainly cluster about you; and, wkon natura bauds in her last bill, you will be all the better prepared to "pay as you go." Josh Billings, anglicised.') Ficut Yovk Way Ur. The Many who have to take the world rough and tumble are prone to envy the Few who ' roll through it uojolted, in cushioned vehicles on patent springs. The toiler as' ho stumbles through its thorny thicket, and limps over' its foot-blistering gravel, is apt to curse the ill luck that placed him on such a hard road, and sigh for a seat in one of the splendid equipages that glide so smoothly over Fortune's Mac adamized turnpike. Born with a pewter spooa iu Lis mouth, he covets tho Silver one which was the birth-eift of his do nothing neighbor. Tho more fool he. Occupation is tho 'immediate jewel" of life. It is true that riches are no bar to exertion. Quite the reverse, when their uses are properly understood. But tho discontented worker, who pines for wealth without being willing to labor for it, re gards the idleness in which ;t should en able him to live a3 the acme of temporal happiness. He has no idea cf money as a great motive power, to be pplied in enterprises' that give healthful employ ment to mind and body. All that ho de sires is to live a feather-bed life to loaf luxuriously. We have no sympathy with such sensuous longings. Pcoplcwho in duce in' them never acquire wealth. They lack the energy to break their way to the worldly independence for which they yearn and whine. They don't know how much more glorious it is to tear aiiluence from opposing fate by maia strength of will and iuflexibility of pur pose, than to receivo it as . a windfall. There is infinitely more satisfaction ia conquering a fortune with b.ain and muscle, than was ever experienced by a "lucky heir" in obtaining or dissipating the golden store that some thriftier hand had accumulated. Your accidental Croe sus knows nothing of the pride of success of the honest exultation with which the self-made man looks back upon tho pedi ments he has overcome, and forward into tho fair future which he has earned tho right to CDjoy. At a large dinner party in a certain city lately tho frosty weather had dona considerable duty in supplying conversa tion, when a plump, happy looking mar ried lady made a remark about cold feet. "Surely," said a lady opposite, "Mrs.- ,you are not troubled with cold feet?e Amid an awful pause, Jshe naively an swered, "Yes indeed, I am, very much troubled but they are not my owb." Read tiie Advertisements. We hear this every day; "People don't look at the advertising columns of n paper." It is not true. People do read advertiements. We 6honld have a peor opinion of the in telligence of a man or woman who doea not look over the advertisements of.apa rer, especially if it is published in their own city or neighborhood. The New York Journal of Commerce, the largest paper in America, in an article on the subject of advertisements not soliciting them, becauo it has as many as it wants says that thousands of people take that paper for the advertisements alone; they are the first thing looked at, and present a much better idea of business in the city than tho mere editorial and news columns can do. How to Get Sleep. A popular au thority says if a person is disposed to be wakeful at a certain hour of the night, let him at once get up when ho awakes, and "stay up. Repeated three times he will bo cured, or, let him go to bed as many hours later as holies awake at night, aii he will Eleep all night. ' " ' . ,'""". h 1 r , 4 N't nt i ' 4 4 4? 3 : n
