Hear the Sage of Quiney and the Patriot of the Hermitage, and let Their Adyice bo Cherished ! c , Joh Qcinct AAs,-in bia Inaugural Address, March 4, 1825, expresses the foIlQwing 'admirable flentimeots, to which we write the erious consideration of those who wefe'hereto- : lore classed among bis supporters, and have keen acting recent); with the Republican sectional party.' - Had they been more deeply in- . doctrined with the views of the old man eloquent as to the rights of the citizen and the rights of the States, they would not now be found advocating the rank heresies of suppression of freedom of speech, and of the press the breaking up of political assemblages of the people for the peaceable discussion of questions of public policy the burglariously . en tering of the houses of ths citizen for the ma- king of arbitrary arrests the subjection of the civil law to the mandate of the military chief-taia, who rides booted and spurred rough shot over this once free country, trampling upon the rights of those whose means and substance is being exhausted, that such as he may be clothed, and fed and quartered upon the com-tnunity at the public expense ! Fellow-citizens, and especially those of you, who were of the -Whig persuasion, we beg of you to reacU mark, and inwardly digest, this eloquent extract: "Our political creed is, without a dissenting voice, tLat can be heard, that the will of the people is the source, and the happiness 0 the people, the end of all legitimate government upon earth. That the-best security for the benificence, and the best guarantee ' against the abuse of power, consists in the freedom, the purity, and the frequency of pop- : ular elections. That the general Govern-.tuent of tlie Union, and the separate govern- vhents of the States, are all sovereignties of legitimate powers ; fellow servants of the same masters, uncontrolled within their respective spheres, vneontrollable by encroachments upon each other. That the firmest-security of peace r5a the preparation during peace of the defences of war. That a vigorous economy, and ae- : eountabilUy of public expenditures, 6nould guard against the aggravation, and alleviate, when possible, the burden of taxation. That the MlhXT kT SHOULD BE KEPT IX STRICT SCB-ORD1.VATI0N TO THE .CITIL POWER. That the Frxedox.o? THE PRESS and or religions opinion SHOULD BE INVIOLATE. That the policy of our country is peace, and the ark of our salvation, Union,' are articles of faith upon which we are' all agreed. If there have been those who doubted whether: a confederated reprceentative Democracy were a government torapetenVtd tli'a -wisei and orderly manage-, ment of th common concerns7 fa mighty na tion., those doubta bav been dispelled. If there have been projects of partial, con federa ciea to be erected upon the ruins of the Union, they have been scattered to the winds, If there have been, dangerous attachments to one tbreiga nafion, and antipathies against another, they hate' been extinguished. Ten years of peace, at home and'abroad, have assuaged the animosities of political contention, and blended into harmony the mo?t discordant elements of public opinion. . There still remains one effort of magnanimity, one , sacrifice of prejudice and passion, to be made by the individuals throughout the nation, who have here tofore followed the standard of political party. It is that of discarding every remnant of ran - cor against each other ; of embracing aa coun trymen and friends; and of yielding t talents end virtue alone, that confident which iu time of contention for principle, was bestowed only upon those who bore the badge el party com munion. ; - .-'-J . .- The collision of party spirit, . which origi nate in speciilativ opinions, or in different views of admtniatratiye policy, are in their na tare transUory. Those, which are Jbunded 00 geographical 'dirialooa, adverse interests of soil, oil mate, and modes pfdomestic life, are more permanent; and thexVfore perhaps more dangerous. 4t i- this which gives -iuestimable lue to the character Of our government, at once federal and national.

President Jacssok, in h' Inaugural Ad dress, March 4, 1829, thus nobly bears testi mony in favor of the rights of the citizen as presented by us in the foregoing papers'. 1 He say s : " Considering standing armies as danger- ovs to free governments, in time of peace, I shall not seek to enlarge our present estab.ishment, nor to disregard the ealutary lesson of politi cal experience which teaches that the military should be subordinate to the civil power. As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will. as long as it secures to us f hi right or person AMD PROPERTY, LIBERTY OP CONSCIENCE," AND or the press, it will be toorth defending and so long as it is worth defending, a patriotic militia will cover it with an impenetrable aegis. From the Messages of the Old nero of New Orleans, we might give many extracts of like tenor, for his heart was full of the love of liberty. Such patriotic sentiments ' Dwell in the remembrance of former years. . They are prominent in ue writings of Wash ington, who uttered the : noble sentiment, which Bhould be borne in perpetual remem brance by every American citizen, that "the HOST INESTIMABLE BLESSING OP LIFE IS LIB ERTY !'

Harper- Dear Sir : For some time I have been contemplating a correspondence with your paper, and have put it off until it i .'now. too late to write upon the subject I had intended to. The late movements oft tbe Araiyo the Cumberland would be stale fo your read ers at this late hour. But I have another theme which I hope will be as interesting to some folks in our county, as if I bad written a detailed account of our movements. : i From late advices received from a friend at home I learn that quite a high state o re joicing was indulged in over the confirmation of the late victories of our arms at Vicksburg, Port Hudson and Getty sbUi'g: This high ap preciation and flattering compliment extended to the soldier by his friends at home 'for Ibis j bravery and valor,, would ordinarily send an embarrassing thrill of pride to his bosom, nerve his arm to continue the contest with fe-; newed vigor, revive his weary: limbs as lie marches through tnud and rain to meet ahd battle with those who seek to destroy his country, its Constitution and everything that is sa cred and dear to him, but it comes in bad geace when it is claimed that these were victories exclusively for the unconditional Union party, and that none had a right to rejoice, bu a member of that odious humbug faction, who have cried no-party ever since the outbreak of his unfortunate rebellion, but the Abolition party, under the assumed name of Union par-' ty, which was a pretence to gull Democrats into their ranks for personal aggrandizement and political power. Allow me to say and God forbid that J shoald say anything else bat the tralh for X have no civil or military arpiratione - that the soldiers are not tired fighting for their eo en try, but they are turd of this thlag of uncon ditional party ism and the abase which is being heaped upon, their Democratic friends at hoene calling them traitors, Ae:"These" patriots who", when the news of a victory, comes, go round at night howling., for the0nion and groaning traitor at every Deamerats' house, inay all be good, si eeere, patriotic Union nti; but us poor ragged soldiers " can't see it from where we stand" ' we don't .look at it in thai lights -. , , . , I am informed by a correspondent that on the evening the news of the; fall of Ticksbarg came, a crowd of these same ' patriots headed by ?. and went to 4he houses of their uncoaditional friends 'singing unconditional airs and eheenng-for' the "-un conditional Tictbnes, (as they '.cVioi them) and to the doors of Dejnocrats, groaoar' and call ing them : traitors, at. ,f Among the? number who seemed to be art object of their hate " Was my poor old father heiause he is ai democrat and has a couple ofaons in 'the armyj 1 pre-' gtyhe.

Yager, came to count noses at night he didn't answer to roll-call, but on the next day was found in very feeble health about 3 or 4 miles from the scene of blood and carnage, completely exhausted from his man ly efforts to sustain his ground on the 7 previ ous day. His excuse for being this distance from his company in the hour of peril, was that he had heard that Captain Yager was killed and he was searching for his body, when the cowardly paltroon knew that if his Captain had been killed it would have1 been closer to the battle-field, for all who saw "Old Cap" on that memorable day, saw him at his post, rallying and encouraging his men by exposing himself to the most danger. These are not all the laurels this valient gentleman of such strong Union (!) proclivities won. After it was known that we would be sent , down the river from Kentucky to join one of the large armies and that there was a probability that we would participate in some one of the then contemplated bigfighu, he tendered his resignation, which was without hesitation accepted with " God speed on it His cause of resignation was on account of his much impaired health, brought on from his arduous duties in the hard campaign in Old Kentuck. : He had become so wonderfully emanciated that by hard squeezing he could thrust two fingers between ths waist-band of his breecbet- and his person, and he claimed that they were tight for him when he first went into the ser- e vice His weight at this time was only about 190 pounds. 'Oh ! what a falling off was there !" The 'military career of the other . gentleman is familliar "lo every loyal person in Knox county, but that his name may not be forgotten, or through neglect not handed down to po terity, I will say for their benefit' Uiat he figurfid largely in that tedtoua, wearisome cam paign, in the three montba . eer vice; at Camp Dennison, with the' 'fahleorisilueuCenant,;' which position he 1 filled with justice..to .his country and honor. to himself and friends by receiving a fee of something like $500, and his muster-out for his valuable services. , It never was my ' disposition to. injure, the reputation, or character of any , man although knowing these facts all the time I 'preferred to cover, it from the public notice, rather than take the pains to give all such cowards what they justly, merited, but since my feelings have been thus unjustly outraged, I am prompted bya sense of justice to myself and friends, to wander from the early teachings of a dear good pious mother, to return compliments of eo ungenerous a character in a- manner in which they are. given; instead of returning good tot evil. i-:r v . .V .--:.'' :',..! ii Now, fr.

On the 29th of October, 1855, "a Democratic meeting was held in the City Hall, and ad- dreesed by Mr. Vallandiohax at length. The resolutions of the Compromise Meeting" of 1850 werereaffirmejL Mr. V.'s speech on the occasion is rejarded as the most valuable and important of his life. Of it we ooly say that what was then prophesy , is now his tory. The following are extracts : All this, gentlemen, the spirit of Abolition has accomplished in twenty years of continued and exhausting labors of every sort. But in all that time not One convert has it made in the South : not one slave emancipated.' ex cept by larceny and in fraud of the solemn compact of the Constitution. Meantime public Opimou has wholly, radically changed in the South. The south has ceased todenounce. ceased to condemn slavery, ceased even to palliate, and begun now almost as one man. to defend it as a great moral, social and do- , litical blessing. The bitter and' proscriptive warfare or twenty years haa brought forth its natural and legitimate fruit in. the South. Ex asperation, hate and revenge' are every day ripening into fullest maturity and strength. and throughout her entire extent she awaits now but the action of the Is orth to unite in solemn league and covenant to resist aggression, even unto blood. . ." I know well indeed. Mr, President that in the evil day. which has befallen us, all this and he who utters it, shall be, denounced as 'oro- slavery;" and alreadyCftoju ribald throats, there comes up the slaeoig, driveling, idiot epithet of "dough-face.? . iAgain. be it so.- These, Abolitionists, are your only weapons of warfare, and I hurl then bock defiantly in to yonr teeth. 1 speak thus boldly, because I speak in and to and .iorVthe North. It is time that the truth should be known, and heard in ths age of trimming and subterfuge. I speak -this day. not as a Northern roan, nor a Southern man; but, God. be thanked, still as a United States man. with United States principles : and . though the wa " happen which aaa'haDDeaHtBha2l be lost, if that shall be our fata, and I walk through the val-lev 'of the shadow - of 1 nolitlna.1 dent il I will live .by, them and die by them.: f If to love my country; to cherish the Union; to revere the Constitution if to abhor the madness and hate the treason which should lift up a sacrw legious hand against either; if to read that in the past, to behold it in the present, to fore see it in the. future of this land, which is of more value to us And the world for ages to come, than the multiplied millions who have" inhabited Africa from the creation to this day if this is to be pro slavery then in every nerve, fiber, vein, bone, tendon, joint and ligament, from the topmost hair of the head to the Last extremity of the foot, I am all over and altogether a pro slavery man. . " . 1 be true and only question now nefore you. is, whether you '.'will have Union with all ius numberless blessings in the past,' present and future; or disunion and civil war, with all the multiplied crime, miseries and ; atrocities, which' human imagination never conceived and human pen never can portray.

Not one solitary representative of your faith or party from fifteen States of this Union. Whst -does all this mean? It never was so before in the history of the Republic What does it all tend to? "Sir, there died not many years ago, in New England, a man whom you all once idolized as aDDrbachine a little nearer in intellect to our notions, of di vinity than most men in any age. Died, did I say ? No, he "still lives;" lives in history, lives in the public records, ; lives in his pub lished works, lives in his public services, lives upon canvas, and in marble and in bronze.- Seven years ago he wrote to a . citizen of his native otate : . " There are in New Hampshire many persons who call themselves Whig, who are no Whigs at all, and no belter than disunionixts. Any man who hesitates in granting -and. securing to every pari of the country its . just : and constitutional rights is an enemy to the whole country. . Extract from his speech in the House of Representatives, of the 7th of February, 1861. He said :-Born sir, upon the soil of the United Statee: attached to my country from earliest boyhood; i ? , -1 . . ., . . loy iog nti revering ner, wuu some : part at least, with the spirit of Greek and Roman patriotism, between these two alternatives, with all my heart, with all my strength of body, and of soul, living or dying, at home or in exile, I am for the Union which made it what it is; and therefore I am for such terms of peace and adjustment as will maintain that Union now and forever. This, then, is the qoestio-r whiefa . taday: I propose to discuss : ' How shall the Union of these States be restored and preserved ? Devoted as I am to the Union."! ' have yet no eulogies to pronounce-, upon it to-day. It needs none. - Ita highest eulogy is the history of this country for the last seventy years. The triumphs ot war and the arts of peace, science, civilizatidri. Wealth; population, commerce, trade, manufactures, literature, education, justice, tranquility, r security to life, to person, to property, material happiness; common defense national renown all that is implied in the blessings of liberty these,' and more, have been its fruits from flie beeinnine to this hour. These have en&hrined it in the-j hearts of the people and, before J God, 1 believe, they will restore and preserve it. ' And to-day they demand of us, their embassadors and representatives, to tell them how this great wOrk is to be-accomplished. . - - !B I shall vote also for the Crittenden propositions -as' an experiment and only as an ex-a periment because they proceed upon the same general idea which marks the Adams amendment; and, whereas, lor the sake of peace and the Union, the latter would give a new security to slavery in the States, the former, for the self-same great and paramount object of Union and peace, proposes to fcire a new security al so to slavery in' rthe ".Territories sooth of the latitude 36" 25. .-, if .the Union is worth the priee whieh the gentleman from Massachusetts voloateers to pay to maintain it,' is it not richly worth the small .additional price which the Senator from .Kentucky demands as the possible . condition of preserving k ? Sir,' it is theold parable of the Roman eybil; and to-morrow she will return with fewer vol- imts, and it may be at a higher price.

On the 19th of February, 1862; John ' Hica-MAlt, -of Pennsylvania, offered a resolution, founded on a "local ;itemw newspaper attack, instructing the Judiciary committee to inquire into Mr. Vallahdighax's loyalty?: The following are eztracta from Mr. V.'a remarks on the occasion-: --' ' 'J ".- f - Yet that ia all, the grand aggregate of the charges, except - this miserable falsehood, which some wretched scavenger, - prowling about the streets and alleys and gutters of the city of Baltimore, has -seen fit to put forth in the local columns of a contemptable newspaper, so that the member from Pennsylvania may rise in his place, . and prefer charges against the loyalty and patriotism of a man who has never faltered in his devotion to the flag of his country to that flag which hangs now upon the wall over against him; one who lias bowed down and worshipped this holy emblem of the Constitution and of the old Union of these States, in his heart's core, ' ay, in his very heart of hearts, from the time he first knew aught to this hour; and who nOw would give life, and all that he has or . hopes to be in the present or future! to see that glor-j rioua banner of the Union known and honored ouce over thewhole earth and the whole sea with no stripe erased, and not one star blotted out, floating forever over the free, united harmonious, old Union of every state once ' a part of, and a hundred more yet unborn. I am that man ; and yet he dares to demand that I shall be brought up before the secret tribunal of. the Judiciary Committee that committee of which he is chairman, and thus both judge and accuser to answer to the charge of disloyalty the Union I Sir, I hurl back the insinuation. Bring forward the specific charge; wait till you have found something and you will wait long-something I have written or something I have said, that would indicate anything in my bosom, which he who loves his country ought not to read or hear. In every sentiment I have expressed, in every vote that I have given in my whole public life, .Outside this house before I was a member of it, and bince it has been my fortune to sit here, I have had but one motive and that was the real, substantial permanent good of my country. I have differed with the majority of the House, differed with the party in power, differed with the Administration, as thank God, I do and have a right to differ, as to the beet means of preserving the Union, and of maintaining the- Constitution and securing the true interests of my country, and that is my offense, that the crime ana tti only -crlmey oT- wblcb 1 . nave -fceeir guilty. . - Yet I am to be singled out by these very men -or their minions for attack : and thev who have waited and watched and prayed, by lay and by night, with the vigilance of the hawk and the ferocity of the hyeaa, from the beginning of this great revolt, that they might catch some unguarded remark, some idle word spoken, something written carelessly or rashly, some secret thought craven yet upon the jiucauicaw 01 uij lace, wnicn toey. might : torture in to . evidence of . disloyalty, seize now upon" the foul and infectious gleanings of an anonymous wretch who earns a precarious SubsisUnee by feeding the local columns of a 8tilent newspaper, and while it is: ret wet from the press, hurry it, reeking with falsehood, into this House, and seek to dignify it with an importance demanding the consideration of the Honse and the country. " '-1 ' Sir, let the member from Pennsylvania go oti; ;T challenge the inquiry, unworthy of notice as the charge is, . but I scorn the spirit which Jias; provoked it.: Let it go on". ' Mr. Hickvak then replied briefly, and, in the course of his remarks said ': " ' ' Ae the gentleman has called upon roe, I will answer further. Does he not know of a camp in Kentucky having been called by his narne that disloyal men there catted their camp Camp Vallandigham f Thai won Id not indicate that in Kentucky they regarded him as a man loyal to the Federal Union, Mr. Vallandigham is there not a town.and it may be a camp too, in Kentucky by the name of Hickman f Laughter.- Mr.' Hickman after a few words further, withdrew his resolution, and the matrerended." .
