rsca ETHRIDGE was in Baltimore last
nt Where he adressed a large crowd of peo
ple on the necessity of sustaining the adminis
tiatlBti of Abrahaoi Lincoln, in the effort to en
force the laws and preserve the Union. Hid
speech is reported to have been received with
great satisfaction by the Union men, and to
have also produced a feeling of conciliation
among the more moderate of the rebels still in
Baltimore,
'flummox was passed in the House o
'Delegates of Maryland, on Tuesday last, order
big the Senators and Representatives from that
state in Congress, to offer and vote for a reso
lidion recognizing the Southern Confederacy.
This ie incipient secession—a left-handed way of
keeping up the secession furore, until the se
cessionists in Maryland can rally sufficient
strength again to make the attempt to carry
that State out of the Union.
Tin Taarrou Davis has issued a proclama
tion, fixing upon a certain day as the occasion
of thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty God.
The rebels, we think, have a right to thank
God that He has not already cut them down
for the impious use of His name in their most
atrocious transactions—while the best prayers
they could possibly offer to a throne of grace
would be for wisdom and sense to lead them
iron the work of treason to a proper obedience
and ~l oyalty to a just government. If the
rebels could be persuaded by reason to such a
course, it would save the time and the gun
pOwdly-necessary to bring them back to their
senses. - :Bat, under any circumstances, let the
scoundrels pray and confess. It will do their
,guilty souls good.

Vritanua has been flattered and fed by this
Union, until her citizens actually believe that
they are of some superior consequence. We
do not desire to deny their possession of a sin•
gle good quality which they have either earned
or inherited; but we do question the remarka
ble reputation which they arrogate to them
selves. There is nothing in history to prove
that they were braver than the solid Dutchmen
of Pennsylvania and New York, or that they
would fight harder or longer than the lank
Yankees from the pine forests of Vermont or
Mitine. There is one fact in history which the
F. F. V.'s invariably conceal. It Is this: when
the British were moving up the Potomac to be
seige Washington city, they were piloted by
some of theme identical F. F. V.'s; and when
the Englibh army did enter the federal capital,
others of the chivalry of Virginia who were
therelor its protection suddenly left, and did
not return until they appeared as office bunters,
or surrounded the pension bureau clamoring for
the tionnty and the favor of the government.
This is a fact in history that is worthy of pres
ervation
PARTY LINES
The journals and journalists In Pennsylvania
who have always been the most bitter parti
zans, and who sacrificed, heretofore, every
social equality and business interest on their
own altars of political bigotry, have been cry
ing out against party distinctions—proclaiming
that party lines should be abolished—and that
in this crisis none of the old political organiza
tions should be recognized. There was great
method in this offer liberally to dispense with
old political parties. Those who made the
offer were those who were in office under the
administration of Mr. Buchanan—the editors
of Breckinridge organs for instance, who acted
as postmasters or who held sinecures in the
customhouses of the country. These gentlemen
were the bitterest of the bitter who opposed the
election of AbrahamsLincoln. They assailed
the Republican party and its principles with a
brutality and violence unknown before to parti
zan contests—repeated those assaults after the
people had constitutionally declared their pre
ferences for the Presidency—and even followed
up their attacks to the inauguration of Abraham
Lincoln,hoping all the time to preventhis induc
tioninto office, and only realizing now in the re
bellion at the south what they then desired to
see= inaugurated on the portals of the federal
capitol. The very journals that now clamor
against party distinctions and howl so furiously
when a removal from office is made, are the sum 3
who gave aid and sympathy to secession while
in its infancy, and they were only prevented
from organizing armed forces in the north to
march to the aid of their southern allies, by the
overwhelming power of public opinion in the
loyal states, and the promptness with which
their designs were circumvented.by the federal
authotities. When these same men found
that they were thus frustrated, the next game
they attempt, to preserve their places in posi
tion and office, Is the cry of partizan persecu
tion against the administration of Abraham
Lincoln, or the charge that Governor Curtin
has prostituted the patronage at his disposal for
the reward of partizan friends, or the elevation
of partizan leaders.
The administration at Washington is per
fectly justifiable in surrounding itself with men
known to be favorable to its policy. There are
few who were in office on the 4th of March
last, who did not secretly sympathize with
secession—who did not hope that the move
ment would at least succeed so far as as to force
the Republican party to recognize certain mea
sures of Dembcratio policy, and retain a large
number of Democratic office-holders in power.
The necessity of such a condition was openly
proclaimed on the streets of Washington, and
frankly discussed in the organs of the Democ
racy throughout the country, Because it has
not been fully realizedhecausa the adminis
tration has deemed it just to remove post
posters who were . known to sympathize with
secession, and force clerks from departments
in which they were playing spies—this hue and
cry of party persecution is raised, and the Im
pression is sought to be created that Abraham
Lincoln is devoting himself , to his partizan
friends instead of his Country.
do far as the organization of the Republican
party is concerned, we deem it as Important to
battle for its preservation now, as we considered
it our sacred duty to do so two years ago. If
the administrations of both Abraham Linsob
and Andrew G. Curtin desire su y to
carry out the policy of
.„ • wining the na
tional and staents, they must de
pend, not n opposed their election
on se nal and partizan grounds, but upon
tire men who made the Union the issue when
the Democratic party was fighting for political
organization, when its leaders were dividing
their own ranks and threatening the destruc
tion of the Union ; and when, too, the con
spiracy that has since grown to such terrible
proportions was hatching in their midst.
There can be no two opinions on this subject.
The administration that would foster its
avowed enemies in position—that would repose
confidence in those who are opposed to its poli
cy—would exhibit a weakness and betray a
mendacity at once worthy of the contempt and
the derision of the American people. And
those who thus howl on being removed from
office, are as much dissatisfied with the loss of
the opportunity of betraying the government,
as they are at being removed from offices of
ease and emolument.
Roam B. TANEY, feeling that he has evinced
more sympathy for the secessionists than was
prudent, and understanding that the people
are warmly expressing their disapprobation of
his acts, contemplates resigning. There is a
strange coincidence in the official action of
Judge Taney and the hasty conduct of some of
the Maryland traitors. Before Washington
city was safely invested with federal troops,
and about the time the secessionists believed
that the north was divided on the subject of
crushing this rebellion by the force of arms,
the traitors of Baltimore could not restrain
themselves—they pitched into the unarmed
northern troops who were passing through
that city, on the way to defend the federal cap-
Hal, denouncing and firing upon them as "in
vaders," "abolitionists," "paupers" and "vag
abonds." Then it was considered safe and
popular to do so, simply because it was expect
ed that the Breckenridge division of the Demo
cratic party would support the south in its re
bellion, and that the treatment which the Bal
timore rowdies gave the loyal troops of Penn
sylvania, would be applauded by their allies
all over the north. Judge Taney seems to have
been actuated by a similar motive and antici
pation. His hasty zeal to get Merriman free—
bie passionate appeals to his authority, and the
ill-concealed contempt with which he treats
those who are laboring to save the Union—look
as if he felt chagrined that his efforts to aid
secession should have proven a failure. The
circumstances are against Judge Taney, and he
should either resign, or frankly retract his
dogmas and sophistry, and humbly apologize
to the President for permitting his sympathy
thus to run in favor of the incendiary and re-
Tux Paasuparr-has directed that , the public
offices In Washington be closed and craped to•

of the late Stephen A. Douglas in Chicago.

TIIE CROWNING OF TREASON.
We do not understand the rules of legal
practice—nor are we versed in the jurisprudence
which is constantly quoting precedents to
justify legal decision, until law and practice
and judicial authority have become sale and
useless repititions of worn out dogmas, in
which the judge can least display his learning
and best cover up his prejudices and his selfish
instincts. Like most of common people, we
cannot understand why a judge should go back
to the reign of an English King to find prece
dent for the government of a nation of free
men. We cannot comprehend why,an Ameriz
can magistrate should be controlled by the
decision of a Parliamerit`with neither sympa
thy or affinity with the American people. We
cannot see why we should not make as well as,
follow precedents: Nor do we believe that
two thirds of the American people, apprecia
ting justice equally as well as Chief Justice
Taney, though not understanding 'the tech
nicalities of the legal profession would pause long
in their comprehension of the making of a
sound precedent, had they the leaders of this
rebellion in their possession. They would not,
like the Chief Justice, explore 'the musty
pages of
_history for examples to justify
their release, nor would they pause for the cere
mony of a long charge and a short verdict,
to justify them in their disposition of these
same traitors, however much they uphold the
law and respect the iiw-giver. Plain facts are
more powerful than abstruse arguments, even
though such arguments be adorned with clan
sic references, polished rhetoric and brilliant
diction. The truth is the very best construc
tion that can be given to the law—and when
we abide by the truth, the law becomes in every
respect our guardian and our shield. A traitor
is arrested. His crime is notorious. The ef
fects of that crime were disastrous. He is im
,
imprisoned !t as necessity of general safety—an
example to,othereill:doeii,,iii a time Of great
public and private appreliension, when his re
lease would be dangerous to the common in•
tercets and safety of • the entire nation.
.With
these faete before the judge—able to eoinpre
head and fully understanding the condition of
affairs—the plots of traitors •personally known
to him—the effects of treason before his eyes
—the fire of , the incendiary almost illumi
nating his own portals—this same judge,
a Chief Justice of the United. States, fal
ters, hesitates and, quibbles—hurries back
through the dim labyrinths of his learning,
ransacks his lore, pores over his books r and
revives his memory of 'stale and ridiculous
precedents to ensure the release of a self
proclaimed traitor. If all this effort had been
made by the Chief Justice to secure the, escape
of some poor wretch who : had been persecuted
by the law ' s rigors, we might' be
induced to
admire the_humanity of the Judge that would
thus use his skill and his cunning to shield e
brother from punishment ; bat when this
learning and sagacity and skill are re-trained
and beeetniV;ernulims tti midst isiespe of a
traitor, our regard for -the law is no less, nor•
is our respect for the judiciary tminishecl;
but our confidence in the integrity.ol.4ha stab
is shaken, however veiling on the grave he
may be, vilal—filftfirlife of honor'behind• him,
this shigiii act, this one effort, is sufficient to
the brightest reputation, and cast a doubt
upon the purest name that eyeryntefiarnecl,by
mortal man.
After this act of Judge Taney, plain people
may well look around theta, and safely guard
their own households from the burglar, the
assassin and the incendiary. We must all hick
around us, and be prepared 'to defend our
homes and our lives and our families at the
point of the sabre or bayonet—more particu
larly in times like these, when the conifruction
of the law is used to mystify facts, and where
the highest lxibunal in the land has too pal=
pably become tainted with treason. In an
hour like this, we must give up precedent for
prompt and steady practico---for a use of 'the
means and resources within our 'possession for
defence and preservation. 'We can do this and
still obey that law which he who runs may
read and understand. And if - We violate' an
cient precedent or refuse to be governed by
the constructions of one evidently become un
fitted by age and sympathies and prejudices to
judge cr administer the law, there is more
chance that we will be making a precedent in
independence and good sense which the future
will follow, than that we can possibly violate
any principle in law or justice.
Tl.lO UNITILD STATES DISTRICT JUDGM3 are not
all sound or true men,and the story is current
in Washington city, that a fen , of them are
even tainted with treason. One or two have
refused to adminihter the new oath of allegiance
as imposed by Congress, while others in admin
istering the oath, leave out the words, "to bear
true allegiance to the United States," these
same traitors alleging tat' there are no United
States in existence, and therefore such an oath
would be false and illegal. This extra offi
cial declaration should be tested, and the result
reported to the President for his immediate ac
tion. Traitors in the army—traitors in the
navy—and traitors on the benches. When are
they to be banished ? When are they to be
punished?
JAmrs E. HARVEY, the new minister to Portc:
gal, it is reported, has became implicated by an
examination of the telegraph dispatch seizures,
as an accessory to the treason at the south. If
this is correct, we may indeed doubt our truest
friends, as Mr. Harvey was admitted to the
councils and - the confidence of the most loyal
men in the country. It is rumored that be is
immediately to be recalled—but where he will
seek a home, his conscience and his guilt must
decide. Mr. Harvey was formerly the popular
Washington correspondent of the North AffWi
gan, writing over the signature, Independent.

VASHLDIGTON, June 7.—The rumors since
Saturday last of a speedy movement of Federal
troops upon Fairfax Court House were without
foundation. No changes have been made, ex
cepting in the position of regiments on the de
fenglve works in the course of construction.
Tho troops labor hard during the day and
sleep soundly at night, disturbed only by an
occasional shot between their guards and the
Virginia scooters.
Farthest in advance is a force of several com
panies of the 2d Cavalry, the senior officer of
which is the gallant Capt. Brackett, who has
seen much service and established a high char
ter for viglance.
The city is comparatively quiet, and ,no
startling rumors reach us from the carnp in
Virginia. It is the -•calm that precedes — the
storm, in all probability.
The President has recognized Mignal Scana
goza as Consul for Mexico at San Antonia,
Texas, thus continuing the policy of secession
as a nullity.
Thomas B. Arden, of New York, has been
appointed an addalition paymaster in the army,
and also Adam D. Stewart to fill a vacancy.
The President has commuted the sentence of
Foley, a private in the United States Army,who
was to be hung in June for the murder of an
officer of his regiment, in Washington, to im
prisonment for life. .
There is no doubt of the fact that Cunnibg
ham, who managed the batteries at Acquia
Creek, is the same , person who was arrested
here, some time ago, by Capt. Miller's com
pany, District Columbia Volunteers, and re
leased on taking the oath of allegiance.
A large increase of scouting, parties has been
ordered from the regiments encamped in the

for the service, and those fortunate enough to
be selected are much envied by those who are

also says, that late information leads to the
hope that the manly effort will succeed, and a
large Union vote be polled in Middle and East
Tennessee.
A special despatch from Knoxville, dated
