As a people, they were 10t, however, at that time, fully prepared to ac- complish ther purpose, but, being shrewd and villzinous. (generally, we mean.) they concluded to profit by their experience in their first atggpmpt at dis-olulion, and con- 6 quen:ly began to prepare the mind. of the masses of the peaple of other States to re- ceive ther doctrine. Llhw well their trick ery, impudence, bigrtry and puritanical fa- naticism succeeded, the present tells to the sorrow of many. They schooled the people of the m'ddle and western States to their « free Niggerism,” and taught them to be- lieve in their centralization and monarchical system of government and then presented for their support the poor old thing, that, unluckily, wes placed in the Executive chair, by the votes of these deluded people. That he, the pile of dried-up bones, whose term of exitenge, politically, will, we hope, gon expre, has capaci'y «mough to justify any one in calling him, personally, to account for what he does, is more than we like to assert ; but that he deserves a good share of the bl une for the present con- dition of our country, none will deny, for there he sits, clothed in all the ugliness of physical and moral deformi y that humanity is capable of possessing, legally the lead and chief executive of a Constitution (ram- ¢d by the wisest statesmen and most geuer- cus patriots the world ever saw, and instead of prescrying. protecting and defending it and carrying out its plsin provisisns, he is simply putting into execution the deetrines of the last will and testament of puritanical Abolitionivz, as made by a Conver:ion in Chicago, in 1860.

The inaugu- ration of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United S'ates, on the 4th day of March. A.D, 1861, and concurrent with it, the Civil War, which, if not the grandest. is the most gigantic and most bloody the world has ever seen, have formed an event in the history of thie country from which will date the gradual decay of this ouce mighty fabric of Republican government, reared upon this continent ag the second experiment of the power of the people to r le. For two years since the occurrence of these twe events, we, as 8 people, have been living amidst ex- citement, and have been hutried along from one event to another, in rapid succession. — Madness has held sway over the minds of the people while they have been driven along in such hurried confusion by the sworn keepers of our liberties, until at last we way well stop and irquire, Where are we, and whither are we tending! Where are we to-day who but (wo short year ago, were the boasted pride of the world ?— Where are those boasted liberties which we claimed ss the inalienable birth-right of American citinsng 2 Where ig thet fresdom of speech and of the press which we have 50 long claimed and exercised ag privileges gusranteed to us by the Constitution hand- ed down to us by our aucestors. Where ie that great safe-gunard of every man's lil er- ty, the Hukeas Corpus? Where is the right of trial by jury ? whera is the guarantee that every man shall be secure in his person and effecte from unreasonable searches and gvizures ? where are any of thos. privileges snd immunities that haye placed us as a people, so much aLove the suljects of the | despotisms of Europe?

The greatest fear of {rembling monarchies has been, for years, that this Government as the second experiment of Republican Government would be a success ard that thereny their people would be tauglit a lvgson that would soon.r or later wrench from the bands of unwilling dis- pots the sceptre of pow rand place it where the God of Nature intended it should be, in the hands of the people. Down- trodden and unwilling subjects who have been panting under the heavy yoke of tyr- anny for ages, have gazed upon us as the problem that was to eolve the question whether they should be slaves to the end of “time, or freemen ; and on each occasion as the lash of despotism fell more heavily, a prayer was uttered for this far-off land of liberty. But how is it now ? ‘fhe land of the free, once united, mighty and majestic, isrent in twain discordant ard bdligerent. The monarch who feared its anger, now dares to insult it, and the oppre sed subject whose hopes of freedom were centered in it, stands aghast as hie witnesses the destruc- tion of his brightest hopes and concludes that for him there is no ssivation but in submeigsion, and resolves to wear his chains with the best possible grace. uame and prestige has fallen, but what more deeply concerns us is that we no lon- ger enjoy the priv.lrges which are our birth- right as American citizens. That freedom of speech and of the press which has al- ways been our yrivilege and which more than anything else distinguished ug from the vassals of Europe, has been taken away. The American citizen dare ne lon- ger exercise freedom of speech in a caudid expression of his views upon governmental policy unless those views coincide with the sentiments of the party jin power. [If he does, a bastile stares him in the face, and threats of mob violence are used to cow lum into si'ence. A public discussion of the acts of our public servants through the newspaper press must be confined to com- wendation, and should an cditor be bold enough to censure one or express his honest views in relation to National affairs, he is at thie mercy of an Abolition wob, or of some besot‘ed Provost Marshal, who in the dead of night may eater his home snd drag him to the cells of a prison. Then, woe betide him ! for there is none to deliver. The priv- ilege of the writ of JIdeas Corpus. which even the subjects of Kings enjoy, is taker from him. The right of knowing the nature of the ofience for which hie has been arvest- ed, of facing his accuser, of trial by jury, —ail are denied him and he must suff'r for monchs, it may be. for years, in a loathsome cell without having committea a single of- fence known to the laws.

The Albany 4rgus publishes Greeley's announcement of an anticipated nergro in- surrection in South Carolina, plotted by General [lunter, and remarks: [tis the first bold announcement of the bloody pol- iey of a servile insurrection, deliberately planned, incited and aided by ¢ white men and regular troops,” and the Tribune hugs it to its heart with a develish satisfac- tion. There is no possibility of a misunderstan. ding the meaning of the *‘atartling anmoun. cement.” We have been told that under the sweeping conrcription of the Confeder- ate Government, all men able to bear arms are with the army, and that none are left at home but the fesbleand the aged, women snd children. and the negroes upon whose labor they subsist.

This is the feast over which the Tribune gloats!

Here, then, the Constitution not only recognizes ‘slavery’ but in plain words declares to protect it. How then can that government aad -Constitution, turn round, and become the irstrument to de- stroy the very thing it has declared to protect !

It maybe considered by them, « disloyal’ to say 1t, but we hope 1t is not unchristian, or ** disloyal’ to love our dear old Consti:ution, and to speak and: write freely in its defense, to condemn the acte of those who wilfully violate it. Wo have liv- ed under it far more than eighty vears, and as a nation, have surpassed even {he most sanguine expectations of its consiractors ; then why should we now sbandon it, in this the hour of our glom? Their answer | would probably be that the framers of the | Constitution never contemplated such a mon- i= strous rebellion, or that it was not intended for cases of Rebellion! Possible! why then did not our fathers form a pair of Con- stitutions, one for peace, and one for war times ? and one, we might add, for cases of rebellion 2 The truth of the matter is this. This Union was formed for mutaai protec- tion and benefit, by mutual concessson and compromise ; the bonds which have held it 80 firmly together from the beginning, were not those of military force, but the stronger ones of love and fellowship, a union of the hearts—the will of the people. Reter to the farewe;l address of the founder of our coun. try, and see what he says. Ho waras bis countrymen most solemnly to beware of Geographical, Sectional parties. And again hear Millard Fillemore in his famous speech delivered at Albany, in 1856, immediately after the orgamzaticn of the Republican pa:ty. and before it had become totally ab- olitionizea ; he spoke as folllows : — « We see a political party preseating can- didates for the presidency and vice-presi- dency, selected fur the firat time from the free states alone, with the avowed purpose of electing these candidates by suffrages of one path of the Union only, to rule over the whole United States. Can it be possible that those who are engaged in suck a meas- ure cau have sericusly reflected upon the consequences which must inevitably follow in cage of success? Can they have the madness or the folly to beiieve that eur Southern brethren would submit to be gov- erned by ruch a Chicf Magistrate 2 * * * ¢ Suppose that the South, having a majority of the electoral roles, should declare that they would ouly have slave-holders for President and Vice President, and should elect such by their exclusive suffrages to rule over us at the North; do you think we would submit to it? No; not for a mo- ment. And do you believe that your South- ern brethren are less sensitive on this sub- jeet than you are, or less jealous of their rights? If you do, let me tell you that you are mistaken. And therefore you must see, that if this sectional party succeeds, it leads inevitably to the destruction of this beautifull fabric, reared by our forefathers, cemented by their blood, and bequeathed to ur as a priceless inheritance. Let the reflecting mind answer. Has this not been too truly realized? What was the war-cry of that party, ** No farther cxten- tion of slavery,” and what is it now, ‘* abol- ishment of slavery,” and yet they would have us blindly follow in tha tracks of the administration and sanction all this.

The pertinent question then is, what Aas caused the changes If the southern people are more united to-day in faver of disunion than they were when Mr, Lincoln went into office. who is responsible thersfor? When the war was first com- menced we were told by the Abolition jour- nals that there was a strong Union fesling in all the Southern States, and that it only needed a “liberating army’ to go down there to assure protection to the Union men, snd sll would be well. For the first six months or a year of the war our troops searched in vain for this “Union feeling.” Its existence had been swept away by the assumption in our party that we had a right to rule these men—to cource them-- to make war upon them, Never did Sena. tor Douglas utter truer words than when he declared that * War is disunion,”” and haa it nut so turned out? Why, the Abolition journals and speakers no longer pretend that there is any Unicn feeling at the South They say that the hatred of the Southern people is, “deep-seated and abiding,” that they must be conquered, subjugated ; that the Union must be destroyed, and a con- golidated despotism take its piace. They do talk of a Union, it is true, but it is a mere unity of the territory, of the land, with the citizens bound in chains and slavery with a sianding army to cat out the sub: stance of the peopls, with tix-gatherers more numerous than the locusts of Fgypt and a grand and mighty despotism overshad owing all, in which the human mind shall be denied its heavenboin féedom of thought and expression.

The last week has been full of events in tkat direction, and not among the least is the following : — They-dispersed a Democratic State Con- vention in Kentucky by military force ; They broke up the lilinois Legislature be- cause a majority of the members are Demo- crats and designed legislation distasteful to them ; They broke up the Indiana Legislature for the same reason ; They threaten to brake up a National Convention of ex stale prisoners, in New York, to be held to-day ; They talk of dispersing the meeting of Democratic members of Congress to be held in New York on Friday or Sa'urday next. They have partially ceased arresting indi: viduals and imprison.ng them in prisons be- yond the State, but now bring their arbi tra- vy and uniawful powers to bear on meetings and Legislatures. Such proceedings can tend to nothing else but revolution. Free American citizens would be less than men if they submitted peaceably to such outrages. It will be well for people to note now, so that they may be able to place the responsi- bility on the right shoulders hereafter, that it is not the Democrats who are inaugurating these revolutionary proceedings.

No. France proposes that missioners, with a view to terms of settle- ment, on the basis of reunion, or else of sep- eration —the war going on, in the mean- time, a8 now" Mr. Seward says no to this. Does he not more than suspect that France will take his denial as a provocation to recognize the South? [las he not reasin to believe that European powers may combine to intervene. in a State of affiirs which presents no actu- ality of war, except its evils, and shuts off all terms of peace ?

The expeditions against Texas against Port Hudson, sgainst Charleston, and against Savannah, have failed ; and the de- monstration upon Vicksburg, is thus far as ineffectual and unpremising. The blockade which is suffisiently stringent to embarrass the issue of bulky cargoes of cotton, is not enough so to prevent the ingress of arma- mont and warlike stores.

The people of New York city, prowerbi- ally callous to horrors, were stariled last Saturday morning by the ocold-blooded an- nouncement in the New York Tribune that Gen. Aunter had organized a force of 5 000 negroes, led by white men, to fall suddenly upon some undefended ard unprotected dis- trizt in South Carolina and excite “a ser- vile insurrection’ —that was the term. The editor of the Tribune gloated over it with great gusto, endorsing the report in a d ub- le leaded editorial, and placing it on its bul- letin with large hands pointing to the an- nouncement. Some people stared at it in amazement, while others wrote underneath it coarse and vulgar langusge. Still we re- cord it to the shame and disgrace of New York city that that infaecous article remain ed posted up on Greeley's bulletin all day! Everybody knows, Grecley as well as any one, that ** a servile insurrection” —negroes led by: whites 3 simply a butchery of wo- men and children. Babes are slaughtered in their cradles, women outraged and all the horrible atrocitics committed of which the imagination can conceive. We all know what civilized warfare is, but this rec ommended by Greeley is the war of savages. It is the same warfare that the Indians ef Minnesota visited upon the defenceless wo- men ard children of that State [tis the mas- sacre of Wyoming, which yet sands a =hnd- der to every Americrn fireside. It is the slaughter of Fort Mimms, where nat a soul escaped from the stockade to tell the tale of blood. This article places Ilorace Greeley outsiae the pale of civilization, Ie is hence- forth an outlaw. Of course the expedition he spoke of will amount to nothing. If Gen. Hunter had 5,000 negroes, as he has not, and if they went, as he discrnibes, they would be either remorsely slaughtered or captured and sent to the auction block. But the in- famy of the desigu is none the less positive. Fanatical devotion to niggerism transforms men into monsters, and Greeley is no lun- ger a man, with the feelings and instincts belonging to the white race, but a savage with all the hate and ferocity of a Csmanche or a Sepoy.—Caucasion. EE Tug RePUBLICANS OF INSIANA IN A STATR or RevoLutoN,—The Republican or aboli- tion members of the [ndisna Legislature have abandoned their scats and again bro- ken up the Legislative branch of the Gov- ernment. They resolve that no further legislation shall take place, and thus inauag- urate, by their violence, a revolution in that State, the cxtent of whichwo one can see or predict. From the first the Republicans have shown themselves adepts in disorder—nothing else. Instead of putting down the Southern rebel- lion, they have spread revolutionary com- motions wherever they go. They are whol- ly incompetent to govern, and competent on- ly to scatter, confuse and proluce anarchy. Fanatical in mind and lawless in acts, they spread dragon's teeth broad cast in their fiery train. The white men—the Indian— the poor negro slave, all feel the woes of their false philanthropy, their false patriot- ism flowing from their lips pollated with crime, ignorance and brutality, — Crisis. Linerat CoxstructioN.—Old Abe is in danger of losing a good portion of his army, as he neglected in his proclamaton to make the qualification of freedom in favor only of the black slaves. We heard a soldier ask- ed the other why he had come home at this time ?. He replied by saying that as old Abe ha] issued a proclamation freeing all the slaves, he felt entitled to its benefits, aud in constquence started fur home where he meant to stay. This fellow gives the proclamation a very lideral construction. ! — Selinsgrove Times. 027 Two Republican newspapers in [lli- nois, one in Edgar and the fother in Coles county, have recently repndiated that party and joined the Democracy.

Curtin’s term of office expires next fall, and he will be the last of his kind.” The Danville Intelligencer remarks: ‘Such is Republican justice. Law and order vindicated by the courts, but the Gov- ernor defies them —the people desire peace and quiet—the Governor hoots at the idea— the culprits are found guilty ofa breach of the law, and fined—the Governor makes the people foot the bill.
