arable body brought a nation into being
and sent it on its mission of freedom;
nevertheless it failed to incorporate row
that instrument the requisnte pug-horny
for removing from within State limits, an
institution wholly inconsistent with the
object for which it gave the nation life.
From that day to the present, slavery
has been clamorons for preservation, ex-
tsntion and power. .
On the admission of Missouri and the
incorporation of Texas into the U010“
the voice of slavery was heard remO-n‘
strating Against any curtailment of Its
limits and demanding increased power In
the national councils. "
Questionsps to its Influence upon the
public prospérity and to the duty of the
government in relation thereupto were
discussed in business circles, in .public
meetings, in conventions and legislative
assemblies, until they produced through-
out the.country an excitement scarcely
' equalled at any former period of our his-
tory. It is true that at one time .the
eople were by their representatives
called around an open grave to witness
the burial of every element which then
disturbed the. national councils. But
slavery was restless within such naraow
bounds, and refusing to be held by the
unholy compromise, broke from her affec-
ted repose, and with an assumed air of
righteous indignation, and in violation of
plighted faith, renewedly disturbed the
public tranquiity by the passage of the
act relating to Kansas and Nebraska.
In whatever aspect we view these
facts written on every last of our history,
a wise and sound public policy call upon
us now to use every lawful instrumental
ity which will prepare the way for abol-
ishing the cause of so much disorder and
for securing and perpetuating the liberties
of all the people. The President properly
issued his proclamation declaring uni-
versal freedom in the insurrectionary
districts. It was an important war
measure and on that. account, eminently
wise and justifiable. Its moral influence
has strengthened the government and
weakened the rebellion. But its effect
is limited. Men are not made free by
its mandate, but only by the presence of
armies which give it efiicacy. The de-
cree may be confirmed by the Supreme
Court and freedom be given to every
slave ; yet, if the military power should
give way to the civil authority to-day
and peace be restored, as eventually it
must be, no legal obstacle could prevent
the States from exercising their sover-
' eighty over slavery; nor hinder them from
re-establishing the system, with increased
ability to foment discord in our public
councils, and make disturbance in our
otherwise happy homes. -
Slavery is not dead. Its life is in the
the custody of its friends. and while it
shall so remain there will be no peace.
The events of the past urge us to
adopt some measure which shall termi-
nate in favor of freedom, that controver-
sy which most ever exist so long as a
partof the nation remains free and a
part enslaved. ' '
This duty is pressed upon consideration
under circumstances which ad onish us
that it cannot be neglected WI out dan-
ger ; and that it can now be performed
without violating any vested rights in
the adoption of an amendment to the
Constitution, according to the provisions
Of that instrument, which will secure to
the National Government supreme con-
trol over the whole subjet of slavery.
We know not the design of God with
reference to the future of our nation, but
when we look at the position of gathered
armies of American citizens who, while
we are in the midst of our deliberations
may be contending in the death strug-
gles for the preservation or the‘dissolntion
of the American Union; and when we
call to mind the principles of equity and
righteousness which lie at the. foundation
of His Government, and the order with
which it is administered ; we may believe
that He is now giving us a rare oppor-
tunity of enforcing the claims of law and
order by conquering a peace, and a favo-
rable occasion to establish justice and
form a more perfect union.
Let us embrace this opportunity and
perform these duties with humble confi-
dence that, under the guidance of the
King of Kings, this revolution will carry
the nation onward, in the path of pros
perity, intelligence and influence, and
upward, to a higher.level of freedom and
Christianity, where every citizen, whether
high .or low, rich or poor, learned or
ignorant, of whatever tribe, or race, or
nation shall be protected in all the in-
alienable rights which God has given
him, under our National emblem of liber-
ty, union and power. .

The Regina from Richmond.
One hundred and thirty women, em-
ployed as clerks in the Treasury Depart“
ment at Richmond, left that city April
26th, for Columia, S. C, where the hu-
siness of manufacturing Confederate mon-
ey is to be continued It is alleged by
rebel officials that the change is made on
account of the greater cheapness of liv--
ing in Columbia. The true reason nu-
questionably is that Mr. Memminger
wishes to transfer his plates and printing
presses to a safer place than Richmond
The inconvenience, delay and expense of
sustaining an important department of
government so far from the capital, will
far outweigh the comparatively trivial sa-
ving to be made in the cost of living to
clerks.

" Had we our wish, we would throw hell

ofiicers and men upon an inclined plane,
at an angle of forty-five degrees, cover
the plane with hog’s lard six inches thick,
with a wicket at the bottom, and send
them, as one stream of traitors, robbers

from City Point, with 34 paroled officers
and 364 men. Such was the condition
of the latter that every man of them was
admitted to the hospitals. One hundred
and fifty of them had to be carried from
the boat on stretcher-s and cars. Their
looks and words abundantly show that
their miserable condition has been pro

Our As-nslea Moving.
- The present week bids fair to prove big
with the fate of our Nation. The grandest
and greatest military combination of the
war, or of modern times, has been inaugu—
ted since our last issue. Our Armies having
been resting and recruiting through the win-
ter, have now been concentrated and are be-
ing hurled against the armed traitors of the
land. The movements this time is not con-
fined to one locality and one army, but is a
vast combination comprising nearly the
whole of our available force in the field.—
Meade, with the brave and .tried Army of
the Potomac, is again pitted against his old
antagonist, Lee, having broken up and
crossed the Rapidan on Tuesday night last,
meeting and fighting Lee on Thursday, Fri—
day, and probably Saturday, meagre ac-
counts of which have been received. At the
same time Gen. Butler moved up the James
River and effected a landing at City Point,
from which he threatens Richmond—and
fgom the West reports come that Sherman
is driving Johnson at Tunnel Hill, with our,
McPherson at work in his rear, and another
force operating towards West Virginia.
Lt all the loyal people of the land take
courage, put their trust in Providence, and
pray for the success of our gallant soldiers
in this their great hour of trial.
We give elsewhere the latest news received
up to the time of going to press. Our Senior
is with the Headquarters of the Potomac
Army, and sends an account of Thursday’s
fight to the N. Y. Tribune, which we copy,
his letter to the GAZETTE having failed to
reach us in time for this issue.
POSTCRIPT.
MONDAY EVENING.
Secretary Stanton announces that news
has been received of the complete success of
Grant in the fight of Friday, Lee being in
full retreat towards Spottsylvania, followed
by Gen. Hancock with the Second Corps.—
We have lost Gen. Wadsworth and Hays
killed and Gen. Webb wounded.
Lee’s courier with his account of Friday’s
Battle was captured by Butler’s forces, he
announced the wounding severely of Gen.
Longstreet and Pegram, and that Gens.
Jones and‘Jenkins Were killed, and Gene.
Pickett and Hunter wounded.
Butler aftera severe fight had whipped
Beauregard and cut the Railroad communi-
cation between Petersburg and Richmond,
about 10 miles from Richmond. The fight-
ing on Friday was the most desperate known
in modern times.
The condition of our army is represented
to be most admirable. Their cool determined
courage, in every instance proving too much
for the desperate fury of the rebels, who
have been driven at all points. We have
lost some prisoners, one regiment, and taken
a large number, supposed to be more than
we lost. Artillery was not used on either
side the first two days.

Mr. Hewlett’a Lecture.
Don’t forget that Mr. Hewlett is to deliver
his popular Lecture on ‘Rum and Rebellion,’
at Lockwood’s Hall, this (Tuesday) evening.
This Lecture has been delivered in most of
our cities and large towns, and given the
best of satisfaction. Many people consider
Mr. Hewlett superior to John B. Gough. He
is an earnest speaker, capital dclineator of
character, and ever aprarkling with humor
and cutting sarcasm. Those who heard him
before, will be sure to attend this Lecture.

Exmnrrrom—The first Public Exhibition
by the Scholars of the Center District School,
came ofi‘ on Thursday and Friday evenings
last, under the direction of the Principal,
N. H. Dumond. The sum netted, we under-
stand, was about 880 which amount will be
laid out for the benefit of the School. The
scholars were all very young, and per-
formed creditably on their “ first appearance
on the stage.” The solo singing by Miss
Elwell, and quartette singing by Misses El-
well and Dibble, and Messrs. Merriam and
Wilcox, was very fine, and added 'much to
the gratification of the audience.'

Band to accompany 'them to New Haven
last week, and a few generous citizens hired
the Wheeler 85 Wilson Band to go with
them. On Wednesday morning last, as they
were about to depart for New Haven, to
take part in the Election Parade, the compa-
ny was marched to the residence of L. H.
Moore, Esq, and was there presented with a
beautiful silk National Flag. valued at $60.
The presentation was made by Mr. Moore,in
behalf Of the donors; Capt. Fitch respond-
ing for the Company. The donors were
Messrs. L. H. Moore, H. H. Elwell, C. F.

Wednesday evening, the Guards marched
around the village, with their Band, serena-
ded several prominent citizens, and had a

The Election Parade.
The parade in New Haven, on Wednes-
day last, on the occasion of the inauguration
of Gov. Buckingham, was undoubtedly the
finest military pageant ever witnessed. in this
good old commonwealth. The day was
bright and pleasant, and the streets neither
muddy nor dusty. The line was formed on
the Green, filling up the entire square, and
was under command of Col. Cahill of the
9th Conn. About one o’clock, the music
beat OE, and the Governor made his appear-
ance, riding afine horse, and reviewed the
troops; his atafi‘, and Gen. Russell and staff,
accompanying him.
The troops then marched in review before
the Governor, and subsequently through the
principal streets of the city; after the Parade,
the visiting companies were treated to a fine
collation, in the basement of the State House,
The veterans of the 9th and 12th Regi-
ments, the .trOOps from the Camp, and Mili-
tia companies from Hartford, Meriden, Wa-
terbury, Derby, Norwalk and New Haven,
took part in the procession.
Norwalk was represented by the Norwalk
Guards, Capt. R. B. Craufurd, numbering
about forty members, and accompanied by
the drum corps; and the Burnside Guards,
Capt. H. Fitch, about forty muskets, and es-
corted by the Wheeler 85 Wilson Band, of
Bridgeport. , Both companies made a fine
appearance, marched well, and received
many compliments.

Messrs. Gooch and Wade, who were depu-
ted by the Committee on the Conduct Of the
War to visit Fort Pillow, and inquire into
the facts regarding the treatment of the col-
ored troops after the surrender of that place,
have returned. From the evidence adduced,
and depositions taken, the statements made
in regard to the harbarities and cruelties
were fully corroborated. The committee
visited quite a number of the poor creatures,
and saw with their own eyes the outrages
which had been perpetrated. The report
will be completed and laid before Congress
at once.

New York, was instantly killed by the cars
at Stamford, Saturday afternoon. Mr. Hud-

on the 3 p. m. Express train for Stratford.
At Stamford he stepped from the cars a mo-

ed to get on board. Missing his hold.he fell
directly under the cars, and was a mangled
corpse in an instant. Conducter Banslt wit-

The 2d Corps moved on Tuesday to the

day morning, at 4 o’clock, .the cavalry
crossed and drove the Rebel pickets from
Opposite hights, meeting with no. opposi-
tion. _ . .
A-position was gained and the corps
moved on at '1 o’clock, taking the road
to Chancellorsville.
The 5th and 6th Corps crossed at
Germahia- Ford inthe‘conrs‘e of the day,
taking the road to the Wilderness.
On Wednesday night Gen. Warren’s
headquarters were at the Wilderness.
Gen. Sedgwick on his right, and the
General Headquarters at ’Germsnia Ford.
-On Thursday morning' the Rebels
passed our pickets, and appep'red to be
in strong force on our "right?” The 5th
New York Cavalry, skirmi'shing~ on the
Orange'Conrt House Road, near Per-
kin’s tavern, were driven in with a severe
loss, leaving many wounded on' the field.
Gen; Grifiith’s division was marched for-
ward on our right about 11 o’clock to
feel the enemy’s position, and were met
by the Rebelflen. A. P. Hill, supported
by Gen Ewell. '
This knowledge of their position was'
of course highly important, and was thus
obtained only by the greatest skill in the
handling of our troops. It'not being the
purpose of Gen. Meade to advance upon
the enemy, he ordered the line of battle
to be held till morning.
. A severe action took place, in' which
we captured about 300 prisoners, though
it is reported that we lost 2 guns. Mean-
time, Gen. Hancock marched his corps
to the right to connect with Warren, and
had hardly got into position, his left rest-
ing on or near Chancellorsville, when he
was attacked by Gen Longstreet with
his full corps, and a part of Ewell’s.
Gen. Hancock, with the assistance of
Getty’s Division Of the 6th Corps, held
his position under musketed » fire of two
and a half hours duration, in . which his
command snfi’ered severely, inflicting
much injury upon the Rebels.
Other developments showed Lee to
have his whole force in our front.
The position of our troops on Thursday
night was parallel with and a little ‘in
advance of the road from Germanic Ford
to Chancellorsville, the two flanks rest-
ing on these points, and general head
quarters at the Wilderness.
Meanwhile, in the afternoon the ad-
vance of the 9th Corps crossed Germania
Ford, taking position on our right flank.
Gen. Burnside’s rear arrived this fore-
noon. '
It was understood that a general
attack was to be made this morning, and
heavy firing had commenced on our right
when I left at 5 o’clock.

Dispatches from Sec. of War.
WASHINGTON, May 8——By telegraph
from Washington to Gen. John A. Dix,
N. Y, :
We have no ofiicial reports from the
front, but the Medical Director has noti-
fied the Surgeon General that our woun~
ded were being sent to Washington, and
will number from 6,000 to 8,000. The
Chief Quartermaster of the Army of the
Potomac has made requisition for several
days’ grain, and for Railrcad construc-
tion trains, and states that the enemy is
reported to be retiring. This indicates
Gen. Grant’s advance, and affords an
inference of material success on our part.
The enemy's strength has always been
felt in his first blows, and these having
failed. and our forces not only having
maintianed their ground but preparing to
advance, lead to the hope of full and
complete success. For when either party
fails, disorganization by struggling and
desertion, cummences, and the enemy’s
loss in killed and wounded must weaken
him more than we are weakened. N oth-
ing later than my last night’s dispatch
has been received from Gen. Butler.
A dispatch from Gen. Sherman, dated at
5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. states that
God. Thomas had occupied Tunnel Hill
where he expected a battle, and that -the
enemy had taken aposition at Buzzard
Roost Pass, north of Dalton. Skirmish-
ing had taken place, but no real fighting
yet. Nothing later from Gen. Banks.
You may give such publicity to the
informatics transmitted to you, as you
deem proper. It is designed to give ac-
curate ofiicial statements of what is known
to the Department in this great crisis,
and to withhold nothing from the public.

WAsnINGrON, May 8—5 r. if.
Major-GeneralJohn A. Die, New York.-
We are yet without any ofiiciul dis-
patches from the Army of the Potomac
except those referred to this morning
from the Medical Director and Chief
Quartermaster, and nothing additional
has been received by the Department from
any other source It is believed no
fighting took place yesterday. A part
of the wounded arrived in ambulances
this morning at Rapahannock Station,
are on the way .in by Railroad. The
Department will probably receive -is-
atches by that train, which will arrive
to-night.
A dispatch just from Gen. Butler,
received, and which left him yester-
day, states thal; a division had been made
by his forces on the Railroad betwaen
Petersburg and Richmond, and had suc-
ceeded in destroying a portion of it, so
as to break the connection ; that there
had been some severe fighting. but that
he had succeeded. He heard from a
Rebel Deserter that Hunter was danger-
ously wounded ; Pickett, also, Jones and
Jenkins were killed. Nothing hos been
heard from Gen. Sherman.

with the 2d Corps, followad‘Grcgg, while
Warren, with his now 5th Corps, crossed-

Here they encountered Gen: Stuart, enga-
ged in the innocent diversion of of a cav-

approach, «but Our troops withdrew

halted for the night near the ford-on the
south bank of the Rapidan.

but lessof it' than usual, and the march
was made with the firm and determined
quiet of veteran troops.
Tsunamis, May 5.—At earliest dawn
general headquarters, 'corps headquarters,
divisions, brigades, and regiments were
astir and moving upon the enemy’s lines
in the direction of Chancellorsville. Dis-
patches were intercepted from Gen.
Rhodes to Gen. Ewell, in which Gen. R.
reports that he thinks Meade’s army ‘ is
crossing the Rapidsn in full force—that
he himself was falling back without
attacking us, and asking what he should
do. This revealed the fact that the
the enemy were fully advised of our
movements. Very soon Warren’s ex-

advance. Meantime Gen. Meade came
up, and Gen. Warren informing him that
replied : “Then pile/t into them will: every

that the Spring campaign in Virginia willbe
decisive of the war. Grant’s army is said to

, TEE Banana cALL ON Gov. Summon.
A recent number of the Richmond Senti-
nel calls upon Gov. Seymour of this State
to take advantage of the absence of United
States troops from the city, to free' New
York from Federal rule! Evidently the
Richmond rebels do not rate Gov. Seymour’a
loyalty above par, but I will do the Gover-
nor the justice to state that he never has
had, nor does he now have, the slightest in-
tention of taking counsel from the deluded
followers {of Jeff. Davis. Some of the Gov-
ernor’sfrs'ends, however, have no such scru-
pies.
Tan FREMONTERS ON {ran WAR-PATH.
Gen. Fremont’s friends are moving. They
have just had published a call for a Nation-
al Convention, to meet at Cleveland on the
81st inst, “for consultation and concertof
action in respect to the approaching'Presi-
dential election.” I have now no time to
comment upon the call with the care its im-
portance demands. But one thing should be
here mentioned. Fremont’s friends, des‘
pairing of accomplishing anything at Balti-
more, select the henrt of the Cuyahoga Dis-
trict, Ohio, where their action will be sus-
tained by the inhabitants. This movement
is made for the sole purpose of nominating
Fremont, nominally of California, for Presi-
dent, and Charles Francis Adams, of Massa-
chusetts, for Vice President. ‘ The people
will not sustain it. Lincoln will be nomina-
ted at Baltimore. A thorough Radical will
be chosen for Vice President.
PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS.
Hon. Simon Cameron, Ex-Secretary of
War, is Chairman of the Union State Cen-
tral Committee of Pennsylvania. It is now
over two years since he retired from the
Cabinet. The following brief sketch of his
career from 1861 to the present time will
prove interesting to the readers of the Ga-
zette. Gen. Cameron is an extreme radical,
and believes in a "vigorous prosecution of
the war” in the literal meaning of the term.
His election as delegate to the National Con-
vention was entirely unsolicited,and he is uni-
versally conceded to be one of the ablest
and most influential Unionists in the North.
Called to the position of Secretary of War,
March 4th, 1861, he labored unceasingly and
with great success in the organization of 'our
labors of any other man, was due the effi-
ciency of our military organization. Under
his superintendence the Army of the Poto-
mac was organized and equipped for the Pe-
ninsula campaign, and the Western Armies
which gained the victories of Belmont, Don-
elsOn, Pittsburg Landing and Pen Ridge,
were indebted to him in great measure, for
their successes. Laboring incessantly, both
night and day, in the great task devolved
upon him by the war”, Gen. Cameron’s health
failed, and he Was compelled to tender his
resignation. In February, 1862, he left the
War Department, and the President, as a
token of his regard for meritorious services,
tendered him the position ofMiniater to Rus-
sia, which, thinking that the change would
prove beneficial to his health, he accepted.
At this time our forces were victorious eve-
rywhere, and no one anticipated the great
disasters that eventually attended our cam-
paigns. Gen. Cameron remained in Russia
some ten months, and then, his health being
fully restored, he returned to this country,
where his business engagements demanded
his immediate care and attention. His ab-
sence from Pennsylvania in 1862 was much
regretted, owing to the fact that the State
election of that year was not properly at-
tended to by the leaders of the Republican
party, and consequently resulted in a demo-
cratic majority of some 4,000. Had General
Cameron been at home during the Summer
and Fall months of 1862, another and a bet-
ter result would have been obtained.—
When the‘ State Legislature convened last
winter, the friends of Gen. Cameron, inclu-
ding many influential members of the Ad-
ministration, desired him to becomes. candi-
date for United States Senator, to fill the
vacancy caused by the expiration of the
peremptorily declined to become sucbu can-
didate save in the event. that Mr. Wilmot
refused to permit his name to go before the
Legislature for re-election, and wished his
friends to support another man. Mr. Wil-
mot at once expressed such a wish, and Gen.
Cameron consented to have his name used
by the Republicans, but the Legislature be—
ing democratic, his opponent, Mr. Bucka-
lew was chosen. In the Gubernatorial can-
vass of 1862, Gen. Cameron earnestly la-
bored in behalf of the Union ticket, and his
pxertiops were crowned with success. An-
drew .G. Curtin was chosen governor by
over 15,000 majority. .
From that time to the present Gen. Came.
ron has remained in dignified retirement and
seclusion. Now, however, the voice of his
fellow citizens calls upon him to quit his
beautiful lesidencc at Lochicl, and takean
active part in the great events transpiring on
this Continent. He will obev this requisi-
tion. The man who had the courage and
pa acity to urge upon the President, at the
cities: of the f9Pelll0n' the adoption of meas-
ures which are 1mg reoog'niped as vital to
the restoration of the Union—vhe whose ser-
vices to the country have ever been freely

Noble, in a letter to the Standard, says:
“This is the most desirable post, and was
given me at Gen. Ames solicitation, without
my knowledge. I shall have command of
the Fort and the town. You know it is a
quaint Old Spanish place and the oldest town
of the continent. So far as amateur life un-
der arms is concerned, I could have nothing
more desirable, but I shall be shut out from
the work and duties that I came out to do,
and I must say there will he no comfort for
me therein. Oh, give me the department
and Army of the Potomac, before all others!
It has some glories, some memories, some
associations, which cling to, and travel along
with you, in common with others, but here
there are none. Why the veterans down
here should be sent elsewhere than to their
nld fightin ground is more than I can com-
prehend. t is well enough perhaps to give
them a taste of real war, to let them learn
what we have faced and endured, to know
what marching is, what mud is, and what
exposure is. This they have never yet felt
in its full extent. ,
St. Augustine, April 19th.—I have only
time by the return steamer to say a few
words. I have command of this post, and
the adjacent country so far as intercourse is
concerned, to regulate the intercourse be-
tween the people and the country, the trade
of the people, &c. I shall have enough bu-
siness outside of the regiment, whose imme-
diate command I shalt surrender to Maior
Allen or Lieut. Col. Wilcoxson when he
comes. I found the Col. of the 10th Conu.,
whom I_ relieved, a most kind and obliging
man, a man very popular with the people.
This is a most Interesting and quaint old
place. So far as mere comfort and local
pleasure is concerned, I could, have no such
~ pleasant place on the continent without be-
ing luxurious. It is the Paradise of the St.

The Children’s Fair.
The Children’s Fair at South Norwalk
took place, as announced, on Friday last.—
The little folks, by their industry in making
fancy articles, and their perseverance in so-
liciting contributions from their older friends,
succeeded in filling three tables with a vari-
ety of the pretty things generally seen at.
Fairs. Two tables of cakes and candies,and
the ice cream stand, were supposed to con-
stitute the remaining attractions, but, in the
opinion of all the visitors, we doubt not, the
groups of little girls, of ages from five years
upwards, tastefully dressed, looking their
prettiest, and doing their best in the good
cause, were the greatest charm of the even-
Ing. - _ ,
The Band, however, must not be forgot-
ten, with its National airs instilling patriotic
sentiments Into the little loving hearts of the
children, who, in' time to come, f‘when this
cruel war is over,” will give
“ Three cheers for the Red. White and Blue,"
and, if their country calls again, will
“Rally round the Flag, shouting the battle-cry of
Freedom”—.— . -
Thus
“The Star Spangled Banner roams! shall wave,
O'er the land of the free,nnd the home ofthe brave.”
It is a wise and far- seeing patriotism that
would teach the little boys and girls of the
land to work for our soldiers. They are to
be the pillars of the Republic when older
ones have passed away. The present growth
of copperheads will die out in a few years,
let us see that the young spring crop is a
loyal one. ’ '
A very excellent feature of this Fair was
the entire absence Of raiding, The articles
were all sold in a legal manner. The child-
ren, with but two or three exceptions, wait-
ed on the tables. A bevy of energetic little
girls caused a great deal of amusement with
the "Grab Bag.”
' The proceeds of the Fair are to be devoted
to sick and wounded soldiers from this
place. The children realized for this excel-_
lent object about $80, after paying expenses.
These were very small, the principal being
the sum paid for Elyls flailipvvhich the Fair
was held. The Band gave ltd services: this
Norwalk ‘Gazette its advertisement, Mr.
cream, and several gentlemen their time and
trouble in decorating the Hall, &c., free of
charge. To crown all, the “Giver of every
good and perfect — gift” sent a clear, balmy
Spring day, and starlight evening, for all of
which favors lb? philtlren and their friends
