l'u.\ISEWOUTHv■ —It gives us very
groat pleasure to record tho fact that
citiceus of this placo, irrespective of
party, have contributed a stun sulti-
oicnt to ctmblo tho froodmon of (his
vicinity to build another school house
in lieu of tho ono destroyed by incen-
diarios a few weeks since. Such con-
duct is worthy of all praise, nnd wo
commend it to ilio imitation of citi-
zens generally. If all our peoplo
would only consent lo banish preju-
dice, and for the future bo governed
by what from their bottor natures
thoy know to bo right, tlio effect
would be ns magical as (ho pouring
of oil on troubled waters. Tho bit-
terness engendered by tho past would
(llBappuiir llKc llltnii liwfuiii tl,u lining
sun, and wo should quickly htivo re-
established thoso kindly relations,
uud that mutual confidence and for-
bearance, which should ever charac-
terize tho uitiicens of our common
country. Try it, all yo people, and
witness for yourselves tho wonderful
results.
And so iriond Courier, you ac-
knowledge yourself n rebol. Wo are
sorry for it, as wo had hoped bettor
things of you. Ilnvo you ovor asked
yourself, seriously, against whom you
robol. Von rebel, not alone against
your country, but against tho great,
Disposer of event , to whom you nnd
your brother confederates made ap-
peal a few short years ago. The de-
cision was against you, and it is your
duly, both as a good citizen and as ti
subject of that Doing to whom you
owo your cxisloncc, to bow in sub-
mission. Von saj' that every right
for which your fnthors bled is deniod
you. Surely you cannot moan this.
For what did our fathers bleed '!—
They bled for those inalienable
rights with which a Hcncficont Crea-
tor has endowed all men : lile, liberty
nnd the pursuit of happiness. Nono
of theso nro doniod you. On the con-
trary you nro protoclcd in each of
them, and protected, too, by the very
government which you now so fre-
quently rovilo, and which until re-
cently you so persistently sought to
destroy. If among your rights you
claim tho imaginary right to destroy
tlio government which oxtonds the
shield of its protecting caro over tho
millions of inhabitants of this broad
country, then indeed is that right de- j
nied you, and most justly so. A ro- I
fractory member of a family, who !
had oudcavorpd to pull down tho
house which for many years had shel-
tered its inmates, merely bocniiso lie
differed from tlicin in opinion, mid
had been bound hand and loot iu con-
Boqucncc of his wicked attempt,
would have belter causo of complaint
than you, for tho simplo roason that
your bonds have beon loosed, Ho,
when tlio anniversary of tlio building
of his father's house comes around,
may not feel like rejoicing, because
of his d¡tigruco and his bonds; but
you ought to foci moro liko the re-
turned prodigal, nl least it so soems
to us; for after abandoning the family
roof, and wandering for four long
years in tho arid wastes of tho rebell-
ion, spending not only your own, but
your father's and your brother's sub-
stance, nnd filling yourself with the
husks of tho confederacy, you have
been again received into the family
circlo, and your sins, which you must
acknowledge have beon neither few
nor small, have been forgiven you.—
Now, wo 111 i 111\ yon should sit. down
to table, very quietly, friend Courier,
and partake of such fare as our good
undo can afford lo give you, with u
thankful lioart; and as for the anniver-
sary, if you can't celebrate it, we ad-
vise you to spend it in roading the
Declaration of Independence, remem-
bering, as you read, that it now
means precisely what it says.
