Every American school-boy knows thai j the language used in I'arliament against the : Government in favor of the American rebels, | was a hundred limes stronger than any that' has been used in Crongress against our Govern- i mcnt i:i favor of the Southern rebels, and that it was used vt ith perfect impunity in tlie very : t face of overwhelming Government majorities, i Said Lord Chatham in the House of Commons, , ■ in 1777, "If 1 were an American, as I am an I ■ Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed j ' m my country, I never would lay down my ; j arms—never, never, never!" Has anything like > that bci ii heard in Congress from the sytnpa - thizers with our rebellion 1 Said Fox, '"There 5 is not an American but must reject and resist the principle and Iho right." The worst that [ Mr. Long said falls far short of that. Noth f ing is gained by saying that the American ri - j ! bclfion/vas right, and the Southern rebellion i ■ wrong—that Chatham's arguments were good I ; and Long's arguments had. To the strong ma- i 1 ' jorities? in Parliament our rebellion was just as j t j hateful, and the necessity of supporting Gov- j J ; ernmcnt, in a war already undertaken for the ( | maintenance of its authority, just as imperative . | as can be here even with our own Congression ! al majorities in respect to our own rebellion.— : j They did not curb the speech of the sympathizers • with our rebellion, simply and solely because _ j they did not have the right, nor did the Consti tution give any such power. ' We use plain language, because the crisis | demands it. It is no time for honeyed speech, i ■! cither towards men or parties Tbe cause of • | tlie country alone has claim. We will not look , passively ou while that cause is crippled, either . by mistaken friends or malignant foes. It is ■ sure of triumph if those who are specially de -1 ; puted to save it, the loaders in the field, the leg j islators and administrators in civil life, and the ■ conductors of the public press through which j public opinion mainly speaks, do their duty i faithfully aud well. 13ut if there be uniaithfu!- | ne.-s in any of these spheres of action, untold J j calamity may come. We are as sure as of the ! suu at mid-day that the people are not satisfied i . with either the past inaction or the present ac t tion —of their Representatives in Congress; ' that among great numbers of those .most earn est in their loyalty, there is a discontent verg ing closely upon disgust. This discontent we do not deplore. It comes from the very high- Freedom of Thought and Opinion. ) est and best qualities of the American nature. r Here it absent, we should despair of the cause. A people that could he unmindful of such ne glect in their public servants as these Represen , ta lives have displayed during the four months , t they have hern in session, at such a critical per- I iod for the Government, and that could be in i j sensible to the violation of parliamentary free i dom, the sacred principles in every repre } -entative government, would !e a people alike - | unworthy and unable to maintain a conflict like -1 this for the salvation of human freedom.— ! | Thank heaven it is not so. There is discontent ■ | for the most part silent, as yet, but, for all that profound and intense. The so-called servants of the people in the Capitol of the nation are 1 the source of it and the object of it. It be hooves them to give it heed. [ Hit following is from a California p ip;r. Is Abolitionism Sinful in tho Sight of God? EDITORS Jvxt'RKSS: Countless times it has • been a-sorted that slavery is a sin—even the i sum of all villainies. So often has this been repeated (hat multitudes, without thinking, have accepted it as the truth. lam glad, that of late, people are being forced by the ''inexorable | logic oi events.'' to reconsider their conclusions, j Now, the question is, "Is not Abolitionism a si" again t Cod, as well as a curse to men? j What is sin Irangression of the laws of: ! These laws tire embraced in the Ten j Commandments. The first law is, "Thou shah | love the hard thy God with ail thy heart, and i soul, and strength, and mind. Obedience to • tms, is manifested by an bumble acceptance of tho revealed will of the law-giver, as tlir right. Above this will Abolitionism sets itself. It : says "My God must be antisla very, my will ' mu.-u be tight. If (iod and His Bible don't conform thereto, 1 spurn and trample both."— Ilonce 1 hazard nothing in asserting that there is not now living an abolitionist who does not in whole or in part, reject the Bible. I be second Law, in substance is, "Thou shalt ! not make an id<>!, nor bow down and worship 1 one. The besotted Israelites made a golden; I calf and bowed before it, saying "this be thy ; God oh Israel. Infidel French Revolutionists | patced in their temples for worship, the image j oi a prostitute, dignified as the goddess oflJea- I j son. It remained for Infidel Abolitionism to ! I surmount the dome of the Capitol in Washing* i ton, with the image of a negro waw.h , as the j | goddess of Liberty, and by every act to say to ; ] .TI.-l -|f>-uri-.w3 •IKW.til*.. ■Xw-ji- i- , j during my administration, shalt te east into— Fort Laffayette, or Alcatraz, or banished be yond my realms." The third law is, "Thou shalt not lake the name of the Lord thy God in vain.'' Aboli tionism ha = made this the age of profane oaths. It swears to support the Constitution —and turns round and declares that it is treason to j prate about it. The Constitution guarrantees j the possession of their property, to slaveholders; | Abolitionism calls upon God to witness its de- • votion to said Constitution, and immediately ' proclaims slaveholders outlaws worthy of death, ! and accordingly goes to work to murder them. ' L there an unperjured Abolition official living? j „
    300,000,000. Jewelry, pianos, furniture, carpets, etc., adsorb the persons and homes of raafiy Abolitionists, who never paid for them. Books, with the names of the own- WHOLE .\E.WBEK, 10 11 . i ers from whom they have been stolen, even fil • j the libraries of Abolition preachers. The ninth law is, "Thou shalt not bear falsi • witness against thy neighbor." This require - absolute truthfulness. Abolitionism war born -! of lies, and lying is its vital breath. In it? ■ | hands, the telegraph, the press, and even thi • | pulpit, groan with falsehood. In Han Francis co and Sacramento, telegrams have been reac on the Sabbath from the pulpits, when the read i ; ers knew that they were prostituting their offict and position fo the dissemination of lies. By ; | such a course, the world has been 'trought to look upon us as a people in the same light that St. l'aul did upon certain ancient islanders. Said lie : "The Cretans are all liars." The tenth law is, "Thou shalt not covet."— Abolitionism savs, "The earth is the Lord's, : and we are IIi Saints; therefore the earth be i longs to us. Yonder are fine vineyards and ! cultivated fields. True, we neither planted nor cultivated them, but we want them and i must and will have them, if to get them, we have to exterminate their owners." The thing required is done. The breaking of one of God's laws is sin. Not one alone, but all of them have been broken by Abolitionists. Therefore, lie that runs may read that Abolitionism is sin against God. It remains to show that it is a ' curse to mankind. But enough for once. You ; may hear from mo again. From the Constitutional Union. The Lincoln Catechism. A friend favors us with a little book called the "Lincoln Catechism." It is a hit, "a pal pable hit," in showing up the eccentricities and beauties of despotism. We make a few extracts, which will speak for themselves : What is the Constitution ? A compact with bell—now obsolete. By whom bath the Constitution been mode obsolete? i By Abraham Africanus the first. To what end ? „ That his days may l>e long in office, and that he may make himself and his people the equal of the negroes. What is a President? A general agent for negroes. What is Congress ? A body organized for the purpose of taxing the people to buy negroes, and to make laws to protect the President from being punished for Ills crimes. What is an army ? A Provost Guard, to arrest white men and set j Printing green paper. What did tho Constitution mean by freedom j of the press? Throwing Democratic newspapers out of the mails. What is the meaning of the word Liberty? Incarceration in a vermin-infested bastile. What is the duty of a Secretary of War? To arrest freemen by telegraph. W hat is the chief business of a Secretary of ; State ? To print five volumes a year of foreign corre -1 spondence with himself, to drink whiskey, and j 1 prophecy about war. What is the meaning of the word "Copper- 1 j Bead? A man who believes in the Union as it was, , the Constitution r.s it is, and who cannot be bri- ! ! bed with greenbacks, nor frightened by a bastiie ' Have the people any rights ? N me but such as the President gives. Who i the greatest martyr of history ? John Brown. Who is the wisest man ? Abraham Lincoln. Who is Jeff. Davis? The Devil. | What is the meaning of the declaration that 1 | t-Ue accused shall "have the assistance ofcoun i sel for .'us defense ? That, in the language of Howard to the pris oners in Fort Warren, "the employment ofcoun ; sel will be deemed new cause for imprisonment. What is the meaning of the President's oath that he, "will to the bast of his ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the U- j nited States?" That he will do all in his power to subvert and , I destroy it. Have the loyal leagues a prayer ? j They have, j Repeat it. | Father Abram, who art in Washington, of ! glorious memory—since the date of thy procla mation to the free negroes. Thy kingdom come, and overthrow the repub lic : thy will be done, and the laws perish. Give us this day our daiy supply of green ! backs. Forgive us our plunders, but destroy the Cop perheads. Lead us into fi.ii pastures; but deliver us from the eye of detectives ; and make us the equal of the negro; for such shall be our kingdom, and the glory of thy administration. H hat is tho motto of Loyal Leagues? "Liberty to the slave, or death to the Union.' 1 How many widows have they made ? i Five hundred thousand, j How many orphans? Ten hundred thousand, j What was Abe Lincoln by trade? A rail splitter. What is he now ? Union splitter. Who iB Hu inner ? A free American of African descent who wou'd Swear to support the Constitution only &a h3 understood it. Who is Philips? ' One of tho founders of she Republican party, | who "labored nineteen years to take fifteen Htates out of the Union." Who is Garrison? A friend of the President, who went to hell, and found the original copy of the Constitution of the United States there. % Rates of One Square, three weeks or lesr ■ .tl 16 One Square, earh additional insertion less than three months , . . . >0 3 JIOSTHS. 6 MONTHS. 1 TEAM One square- $3 SO $4 70 $8 00 Two squares 500 700 10 00 Three squares 650 800 IS 00 4 Column 12 00 20 00 35 00 One Column 20 00 35 00 65 00 Administrators'andF.aeeutora' noticess2. lo, Au ditor?' notices $1.50. if under 10 lines. $2.00 ;f more than a square and leas than 20 lines.

Presentation to President Lincoln. J lie Washington correspondent of the Newark Advertise)-, wr::es as follows : \v. affair of consid erable interest came off at the iiite House, on Saturday in the way of a small party of visitor?, being tire formal presentation of a very choice collection, of wax fruits to Abraham and Mary Lincoln, Ironr Mrs. Caroline Johnston, a high ly respected colored Fri- n-J, of l'hiladephia, as | a testimonial ot her appreciation of the Presi i *Uut s services in behnli of the African race. I hough some remarks were made bv Mrs. J., the presentation speech was made by the liev. James Hamilton, a Baptist Clergyman of the a bo\e city, who toucliingly alluded to the par?" sufferings oT Lis people, to the rapid progress of their deliverance tfnder the present Administra tion, and their hopes, of the future, and asked , the President to accept of the gift as a speci , ™ Bfrl' l & A'w "fiiU Hi", F .I?dj. of .color , and as land of bondage.—.Mr, Lincoln briefly respond ed, returning thanks for the beautiful present, referring to the difficulties with which he bad been surrounded and ascribing the wondrou9 changes of the past three years to the rulings of an all-wise Providence. The work is valu ied at $350. We understand that Mrs. Lincoln' intends having it repacked for shipment to her home in Illinois. A Massachusetts Minister in Trouble.
