And in the B.jok of Books, the attachment of Naomi and Ruth, and Jonathan and Da id, renders those two stories as the most charm ing and interesting to be found any where upon the pages of those inspired writings, lint we are digressing; in the press dispatches containing an ac count of the discussion about the im peachment of Belknap for receiving bribes, a mysterious allusion was made to his wife, and we were unable to un derstand its meaning or re'evancy at the time ; but now the mist is cleared. Mr. Marsh whose testimony so con clusively established the guilt of Belk nap, deposed in substance that he had nrocured of Secretary Belknap, cer. A Mr. Loockwood of London, has erfected a proeeps whereby a barrel containing Ihirly-six gallons of whis key can be concentrated in a bulk of little over two gallons, and restored to its original condition, simply by the addition of water.

For these and other reasons too numerous for enumeration, we feel justified in severing all connection with this profligate party, teeming with the most loathsome corruption, and deeming the time auspicious when past differences should be buried, and reconciliation audi good teeling between the races pervade the land, we hereby pledge our hearty support, zeal and devotion to all those whose hdeuty to the constitution as it was, will prompt them to faithfully adhere to the Constitution as it is, and we ask nothing but full and equal justice before the law, protection for our lives and property against lawlessness and mob violence, and equitable recogni tion in the several departments of the government, based upon our intelli gence and integrity We are tired ot our sell imposed party yoke, its injustice to us, and its flagrant violations of the Constitution, in order to trample out local self government, and insult our brave and well disposed feliow citizens of the South, and earnestly believe that a division of the solid phalanx of color ed voters, will act beneficially upon the two great parties, and, therefore, we propose to stand by principles, aud wili support only those men who will do the most for us. This policy we be lieve. will enure to the lasting tran quility of the country, and a speedy return to good feeling between the late master and now free citizen will follow. We invoke the blessing of Almighty God upon this carefully considered de narture, and invite the hearty and cordial co-operation of the colored people of the whole country, who, like us, have cause for well grounded complaint, to organize to the end that ! their ballots may subserve the peace of thencotiDtry, the fraternization ot all the 'people, and the prosperity and unification of all the sections oi our undivisible Republic.
