@he Talatchman, C. T. ALFXANDER, JOE W. FUREY, BELL Editors, The Central Press Once More. The hireling scribler again makes his ap- pearance in the editorial columns of the last issue of the Central Press, under the at tractive head of “No Apparent Change for the Better.” in which he labo's with all the malignity of which his perverse nature is competent, to cast reproach upon the editors of this journal. Ile hurls the charge of treason at us as flippantly as though it were but a meaningless sentence—and for what ? Because, forsouth, the Junior, in his salu- tatory romarks to the patrons of this paper. in recounting the unhappy and unfortunate condition in which cur country is at present placed. told the truth in imputing it to those twin devils—Secession and Abolitionism. — The scribler feels very indignant, because Abolitionism (the oldest devil of the two) is not entirely exculpated from all blame, and its leaders extoled for their treason against the Constitution of our Government. Why. everybody, except a few ignorant, benighted numbskulls like the penny-a liner of the Press, knows and are free to admit, that Abolitionism and Secession combined, have brought this war upon the country. The Junior, in making this assertion, only proclaimed a well known truth ; admitted by all sensible men, and only denied by a few hired abolition minions, who sell their disordered brains for a penny a line to some mule of an cditor, who is unable to write himself, to fill up the columns of his paper. This veritable patriot goes oft half-cocked into a spasm of wrath, known among oll women as a hysteric fit, because the Juniop alluded to Henry Ward Beecher. Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Horace &reeley, Wendell Phil lips, Ansom Burlingame, Salmon P. Chase, and Hinton Rowan Helper, as being able to tell the cause of all this trouble, and tries to exculpate these worthies from all responsiv tility in this matter, and fearlessly denieg that the weil known abolition treasonable sayings imputed to them 1n past were ever made by them, and denounces all who say that such sentiments were held by them. and that such speeches were made by them, as libelers and falsitiers. Now in order that the editor of the Press may not be induced hercafier to father such ignorant and disreprrtable blunders as his own, we will call his attention to a few pas. sages from the speeches of these infallible patriots, that we hope will enlighten him as to their loyalty to the Government, Anse m Burlingame, in a speech made in Philadelphia in 1856, uttered the following language: «The times demand, and we must have an anti slavery Constitution. an anti--lavery Bible, and an anti-slavery Ged.” No Republican newspaper has ever rebuk ed or dis-vowed this frightful blasphemy. but gloried in giving it publication, until at last it has become too odious to be longer borne, and the Central Press comes out in a denial of that which the world knows to be true. If the editor of that paper will refer back to the printed report of his speech to be found in newspapers published during the campaign of 1856, Le will find that his pen- ny~a-liner has falsified and deceived him in- stead of us. Next, Mr. editor of the Press, take down that notorious newspaper from your files, known as the Boston Liberator—cast your eye to the head of the rizht hand column on the first page, and behold this motto : ++ The Constitation of the United States- a covenant with death and an agreement with hell.” Are those the sentiments, secretly en- t rained, by the editorof the Press. 1f not. why does he seck to exculpate the author from any complicity in the cause of this res bellion, In a public speech made by this same old traitor at Boston in February, 1860, while speaking of the overthrow of slavery in the United States, he said : ¢ Whatever stands in the way of this sa- cred cause. put it down ; if itis a party, let the party be abandoned ; if it is the charch, let the church be anathematized ; if it is the Gevernment, let the Government be vepudiat ed.” . Aye.yes.he was willing to destroy even the church of Christ and the best government in the world if thereby he could get rid of slavery. Yet with the Press this is not treason, but the purest patriotism. Horace Greeley, editor of the Tribune, on the Oth of December, 1859, wrote the follow ing, which can be found m the Tribune of that date. [In speaking ot the execution of old John Brown, he says : +¢ Urwise, the world will pronounze him— reckless of artificial obligations he certainly was—but his very errors were heroie. Let whaever would cast the first stone, ask him- self whether his own noblest act was ¢qnal in grande: r and nobility to that which John Brown pays the penalty of death on the gal- lows.” And again : “Tt will be easier to die hereafter in a good cause even on the gallows, since John Brown has hallowed that mode of exit from je troubles and temp:ations of this mortal ife. Again, when ths Kansas Nebraska Bill was pending, this same Morace Greeley was for destroying the Government and Union, rather than allow the Bill to pass by the ordinary process of legislation, he said : «* Better that confusion should ensue ; bet Councils : better that Congress should break up in wild discord—nay better that the Cap- | itol itself should blaze by the torch of the incendiary. or fall and bury all its inmates in 11s crumbling ruins than that this perfidy and wrong should be accomplished.” Yes, willing to see the Government de~ stroved ; willing to see the Capitol of the nation burned to the ground, vet the Press has no word of reproach for this old Infidel. but on the contrary calls us traitors because we dare to charge him with doing much to inaugurate this war. Candid reader, is it not a fair inference i view of these facts, that the editor of th Press secretly endorses these unholy senti- ments, if not, why does he defend them ? Wendell Phillips, in a speech at a meeting in Boston in Fcbraary, 1860, says : “ And better than that Puritan conscience awakes and flings i 8 spear down into the centre of Virginia, in the revolt of John Brown : of him ? “Well.he is your eldest born. you ought to know him : he bears your lineaments, you ought to acknowledpe him. He 1s but the natural product of the thought of the North seeking vent somewhere. The irrepressible conflict has begun.” This speech was published in the Tribune and other papers, yet the Press persists he never made it. , uablushing eftrontery ! The writer of the article in the Press to which we refer, is terribly worked up, bes cause the Junior declared that Hinton Rowan Helper was the greatest villain of them all and as he says without one word to justify the libel. Does the writer suppose tha: the infamous and treasonable teachings of *Helper’s Im- pending crisis.” have escaped the memory o his readers. and that it is therefore necessary to recount his sayings in order to justify the allegation that this same Helper was ins'ru He whose memory has not retained some of the tcach- mental in bringing on this war ! ings of that celebrated book, is much to be pitied on accoant of his failing memory. The people, we know. well remember them, but as they appear to have escaped the memory of the penny~a liner ard the editor of the Press, we quote a few by way of * justification 7 He says, after speaking of the evils of slavery : «The great revolutionary movement set on foot in 1775. has not been terminated ;— nor will it be until every slave in the United States 1s freed from the tyranny of its mas- ter. Every victim of the vile stitution must be reinvested with the sacr.d rights and privaleges of which he has been depriv- ed by an inhuman oligarchy,” With him, the Constitution which recog- nizes slavery, is an inhwman oligarchy! Agam : “In this extraordinary crisis of affairs, no man can be a true patriot without first be coming an abolitionist.” S Again : « Henceforth, sirs, we are demandants, not supplicants. We demand our rights more, nothing less. Tu is for you to decide whether we are lo have it peaceably or by Sollow, we are determined to have it one way or the other.” Is not this enough by way of ‘justification ’ No difference what may be the conscquen ces, slavery must be abolished. Even should it cause the overthrow of the Government. it must be done, Yet the Press would justify him. This book is the anti-slavery Bible, spoken of by Burlingame, and the general text [rom which the Press weekly preaches is the sen tence quoted above. That iu this extraordi- nary crisis, no man can be a true patriot. un- less he first becomes an abolitiomst.” Judg- ed by this new political Bible, we must con- fess we are not true patriots according to the understanding of the very intelligent ed itor of the Press: But according to our po- litical Bible, viz the Constitution of the Unit ed States we are willing to be judged. Who 1s there that loves his country, that can read the ahove passages, and lay his hand upon Ins heart and while he contem- plates the present civil war declare in sight of high heaven that those men are innocent. That Mason and Siidell, Davis and Stephens actually taken up arms against the Govern- went, are the chief irstigators of this rebel- lion among the masses of the Southern peo- ple, is true ; but these Northern Abolitior quoted, have been the chicf instigators v these leaders in the rebellion.

We can not close this article without beg- ging pardon of our readers for devoting so much space to such a small subject as the editor of the Press, and we hope they will excuse us.

The great conflagration at Charleston is attrib. uted to the breaking out of a slave insurrection. It is said that soon after the disturbance commen- ced the spark was kindled, and at last advices nearly one-half of the city was in ruins. From Norfolk we have intelligence of a most disastrous fire at Charleston, S. C.

It would he worth my life to ven ure there. I do not suppose myself to. day worth more than the clothes in my trunk up stairs. Everything I had I have sacrificed for my lovalty, and I have therefor some right to speak my mind. It is not the mere loss of our own slaves we care for. Freemg the slaves of Seeessionists in our midst would reduce our own to a mere nominal value as well as destroy their obes dience and usefulness; but it is not this mere pecuniary loss to which we ohject. T believe the Union men of Kentucky would to-day sacrifiice every dollar's worth of slave property they own, if that would restore the Union ana end the war. But it is the prin. ciple we complain of ; the dishonoring of our word before onr constituents; the spirit that would ruin friends and such friends as we have proved ourselves, to strike an ineffect ual blow at foes : the unendurable mortifi- cation having a large free negro population in our midst.” The apprehensions on this subject for the last few days are declared to have been 1m tense. The worst fear of the Union men appeared to he that Camcron’s policy. or the action of Congress in the matter, won'd split the Un- ion party of Kentucky. Already they said, some of their membirs were yestive. and resolutions had been offered which no man would have dared last season to present. Dan Rice.

There are exciting and excited rumors of activity in the British dockyards, rapid na- val preparations, the shipment of arms 0 Canada, and of a serious fall in Canadian S curities. This latter damage, we are of tne opmion, will ultimately turn out about the most serions result of the whole unbrog- lio. Tt will be observed that although the tone of most of the British newspapers 1s positive belligerant and even insolent, there is not in all they say a particle of anthentic intelligence or official authority to justity cither the positions they assume or the state ments they ruake. Notwithstanding all this bluster of the newspapers, we do not believe there is any more purpose in the part of the English Government o rush headlong into a war with the United Stafes, than there is on our part to provoke a war with England. A conflict b tween two such Powers is no holi | day diversion to be engaged in without re- flection. and the sending of a feet and an ar- my equal to the occasion across the Atlantic is not an achievement to be performed before breakfast. After carefully scrutinizing the several statements of the London journals, we ase Lof the opinion that the following is about the | substance of what has been done by the British Government : —The Law officers of the Crown. upon the ex parte evidence of the officers of the Trent, have given ir as their opinion that the arrest—particularly as to | the manner in which it was made —is not warranted by the law of nations ; that if there was any rcasonable belief that the Trent was carrying contraband, she should have been seized as a prize, and taken into port for adjudication of the question ; and | that if the statementsupon which these views | are based shall prove to be correct, then {reparation must be made.
