prospering in a high degreo, and through
tho partiality of generous friends going

As a political journal, a faithful and

and Cowan of Pennsylvania, upon the bill
for the confiscation of rebel property. It
will bo seen tbat Mr. Cowan, (although

tho extreme and impraeticablo views of

"Mr. DOUGALL, (Cal.) resumed hit speech. He quo

tbat toe provision in relation to freeing tho slaves was

justified the secession from the British cmO
piro ot tlirco millions ot colonists in 1770,
wo do not see why it would not justify the
secession of five millions of Southrons from
the Union in 1861.
Such was tho Tribune's position up to
tbo openiug of the present civil war, which
it did so much to bring about. It favor
ed Secession as tho means of accomplish
ing its darling object of a dissolution of
tbe Union as the thoitest and easiest

honest men in this oountry who have la
bored to establish and maintain, and which
honest men now labor to rcstoro and re
establish. That sheet has sought to broak
up the Union, has denounced tbo Constitu
tion, and derided the flag of our country,
until it and its fellows, North and South,
havo produced a civil war, and now it re
joices in tho belief that its work has been
Bucocssful. Who arc traitors, if suoh wri

if tho "moral traitors" of the Tribuno do
not? And yet, in tbo faco of this unblush

eously wo bopo) tbo downfall of tbe Uni

with their treason, while honest patriots
arc sent to a military prison for daring to
differ from a Republican administration.
Now tbo Tribune has long afforded tho
truo index to the feelings and purposes of
tho controlling clement of (ho Republican
party. That party, in every Northern
Stato, has followed its lead with unerring
fidelity sometimes closely and at others
at a distance, but always with an eye to
the ultima to accomp'ishmcnt of the qbjects
and purposes avowpd. It has been so in

And it is so now. the men who control
tho party machinery here aro working it
with a view to carrying out the plans of
