every man into a secessionist. Besides,
there is atiother fearful clement in the

are only,to frighten the North into a com

If the Administration 'provokes blood

;masterly-cunning of that deVil of eonipro
•mise, the Secretary of State. ,Ho is not
mad enbugh . to let these States rush into

I is.over. If a gun is fired in Southern wa-
I ters, it is fired at the wharves of New

1
the money of the North. , It. is meant- to

means concesston,• and in twelve • months

New Englandimay indeed never be co-.
treed into a - slave. Confederacy. But,
when the battles of Abraham Lincoln are
ended and the Compromises worse than
Crittenden's are adopted, New -England
may claim the right to secede: And as
sure as a g . un is fired to night at Fort
Sumter, within three years from ,to-day
you will see these thirty . States •gathered
under a Constitutiob twice as.damuable
as that framed,in 17.87. The only hope of
liberty is in fidelity to . principle, fidelity
'to peacerand fidelity to the slave. Out of
that God gives us nothing but hope and
brightness. In blood there is certainly
sure to be ruin !" ' • •
The Administration Aidhig the Rebell-
- The coriservatiVe mass of the people,
called theDetnocracy,-for the sake 'of their
• principles,as well, as for the purpose of dis
tinguishing them from the revolutionary
radicals who are organized as the
ditional ''suppoiters. of the Adrainistra
tion, are accused of being against the war
to' ut down rebellion, because they' op
pose- certain war Measures 'of the Admin
istrationfor the very reason that the Ad
ministration has done more to defeat the.
only legitimate - ends of the war. Had
the war been -steadily prosecuted for the
purpo.gds :for which it whs . , at first pro
fessedly made--that is, the vindication of
the Constitution and the laws and the
North united, •nnd the contest •would
probably have. been .ended Satisfactorily
months 'agO.. ut ',the Abolition party
chose use the opportunity of tbiadeplo
rabic, conflict to realize, if possible, their
one idea, and hence the war has ever
since been so . .conducted. as to subordi
nate the reconstruction of the Union and
tire maintenance .of the Constitution,.. to
the : emancipation, of the Soethern - negroei.'
The-natural ressuli of such a policy has
been, to strengthen the rebellion by weak
ening resistanceto it,- and the war has
filled of its just purposes butyl because it
was perverted to an. unjust and irnpradti
cable end. We, therefore, assert that.
Mr. Lineotn• and his party 'have really
been the only, or at least. the - most 'effi-,
cient, opponents Of the...war—the most
formidable- obstacle •te its suecess---,-and
hence, if opposition to the war is treason,.
the Administration and its partisans are
the chief traitors. The have' giv
en liberally of Men and money . to crush
