DANGEROUS TEACHINGS.
A greater calamity than even the monster
treason with which our government is now
struggling is that of division and violence
here among ourselves. Mobs, mob laws
and their consequences, are to be dreaded
at all times; but when they assume the
plausible pretexts of party and patriotism,
their danger cannot be over estimated.
Any tyrranny . preferable to that perpe
trated under the mask of zeal for coun
try; when the necessities of a great party
become so desperate as to counsel a resort
to violence to keep itself in power, then
we may indeed anticipate a state of ttor
lora in. comparison to which our present
troubles would seem innocent and harm
less.
We have already had, in several locali
ties, labor-riots, which have occurred be
tween some white and colored people, be
cause of the latter having supplanted the
other in some branches of employment.
Instead of these cases being examined
upon their merits, we perceive that in sev
eral very respectable quarters an effort is
making to turn them to partizan account,
and that, too, under that most villainous of
all pretenses—philanthropy. The extreme
Abolition press are, of course, the leaders
this dangerous undertaking. No one,
we presume, denies that every human be
ing has a right to live, and to labor for his
living; but our Abolitionists would fain
make it appear that in the late riots refer
red to an attempt was being made to pre
vent negroes from receiving employment
by others than those with whose labor
they came in conflict. This is not true, and
the publishing of it can onlyhave the effect
of making the aggressors in the acts
of. violence complained of only more
lawless and defiant hereafter. There is no
question about a black man having a right
to labor, but when he reduces the wages
by voluntary action, thereby d;priving
others of the means of subsistence, it is
not to be wondered at that discontent and
sudden violence are the consequences.
We have had many such exhibitions here
not between white people and black, but
among the former exclnsive;y. But, to be
consistent abolitionists must champion the
cause of the negro under all such circum
stances. They are clamoring for their
freedom from Southern masters, and'
when they arrive here and jostle white
labor in their efforts to obtain employ
ment, they must be encouraged, even if
the white competitor runs idle. This is
the practical effect of that philanthrophy
which has done its share-in plunging this
government into a civil war, the magni
tude of which is not yet apparent.
In Madison, Wisconsin, this spirit of
mob violence has gone so far as to compel
the Governor of the State to notice it.
There the Republican politicians have
formed themselves into
__committee to
investigate men's loyalty, and have, in
several instances, committed most violent
outrages upon the most loyal and honora
ble citizens of the State. The Governor,
in his proclamation to these conspirators,
lays
"I need-hardly say to persons of your
intelligence that such proceedings are en
tirely unauthorized and extra judicial. In
my judgment , such proceedings are preju
dicial to the interests of the country, tend
to exasperate the feelings of many citizens
—unnecessary and uncalled for, and, as
the Executive of the State, I feel it my duty
to urge and insist that all proceedings un
der contemplation of the meeting referred
to be immetely abandoned.'
Here in Pennsylvania, but especially in
Philadelphia, there is a Similar desire for
mob violence and inquisitorial committees.
The Philadelphia North Amerisan, here
tofore one of the most staid and conserva
tive journals in the country, has for the
past ten days teemed with the most atro
cious sentiments and suggestions. It can
not be that the highly respectable head of
that establishment is writng the inflated,
absurd • and most dangerous articles in
question. He must be absent, and in his
place some irresponsible and..dangereue
demagogue has taken the liberty of pros
tituting the respectable columns of the
North, Antetican to the publication of the
impOd,ntlY jefleleal sentiments we
ever lien in iabildelphis^ topic
NO HOPE FOR FOREIGN IN
TERVENTION.
The Southern journals are beginning to
despair of intervention on the part of Eng
land in our present civil war. We have
been under the impression from the coin
niencement -of hostilities that England's
policy and interest were to let us go on as
we are, and we perceive that some of the
Southern papers are coming to that con
clusion also. The Richmond Examiner
of the sthinst., in a sober article upon the
subject, retitarkg:
"It is the interest of Great Britain that
this war shall go on until the North is
overwhelmed with debt and taxation, and
thoroughly exhausted of men, capital and
materials for conducting a successful rival
ry in manufactures and commerce; and
until, also, the South shall be everywhere
overrun, her slaves taken off, her labor
system completely overturned, and all the
circumstances which gave the South aln 0 •
nepoly of the cotton culture shall be de
stroyed. The talk about her starving
operatives is the silly cant of women and
clergymen. England could better afford,
and her government would prefer, to see
five millions of her operatives starved to
death, rather than to see the civil dis•
sensious of this country healed and its af
fairs embarked again on the career of pros
perity in which they were moving two
years ago. She has had the cunning, by'.
heavy bribes to controlling members of the
Republican party of the North, to inau
gurate the present troubles, and, despite
of the sentimentalism which she is now
preaching on the horrors of war, she is the
real instigator of the aggressive measures
of the North against the South. She had
the address to make the North—her rival
in manufactures and commerce—do her
work upon the South—her suct..,,s4tll com
petitor in the cotton culture. ller tv. o
rivals in matters touching her vital inter
ests are engaged in deadly collision. and
1
she would this day choose rather that mill
her starving operatives should perish than
that the North and South should he at
peace until their work of mutual destruc
ttionis completed."
WENDELL PHILLIPS
We should infer from a leading editori'
al article in Monday's Philadelphia Press
that the government is beginning to eon
eider the propriety oi that fierci
agitator, Wendell Phillips, The Press is
unsparing in its 1113111;11;iili !OIL"
calls him "a traitor in his sonl.''
as vile as Jeff. Davis hims.elf.
The following is a specimen para
graph, alluding to Phillips' iat lc
nunciation of the President and (;en
McClellan:
"We have no objection to the,:e wild and
extreme denunciations in times of peace.
They become subjects of jesting and mer
riment, and have no other purpose than to
create a smile of pity or a sneer or con
tempt. But now, when hearts are lacera
ted by daily bulletins from 1 , 4)04 fields of
battle, and the public mind sensitive en
the utterance of every public man, and ex
tremely sensitive in relation to our gener
als and statesman, are these tierce htlse
hoods to lie permittedi There is not a
traitor in the land who will not exult over
these declarations. In Richmond they
will be read with joy ; in unfriendlylondon
they will bo greeted with exultation amt
mockery. 'What strength, what dignity
has the Republic of America, which can
permit traitors in Boston to assail it front
the forum, while traitors in Richmond as
sail it from the battle field: It sends men
to Fort Warren for attacking the Govern
ment and disowning the oath of allegiance.
and yet it uermits men in Boston—men of
smooth speech and choice words and elo
quent phrases—to glory in the fact that
they disdained to owe allegiance to the
country of their birth, and at the same
time sought to divide and destroy it.'
These are the words which these speeches
of Wendell Phillips will excite, and we
aro very much afraid they will ho truly
spoken."
John W. Forney.—The Retirement
of the Old Rat
Said this ingrate at a meeting the
night, "Retired from political life, I have
devoted myself to the Nation."
Precious hypocrite! When Forney re
tired front political life it must have
been like the old rat in the fable : "My
dear children," said the old rat to his
ycung ones,
"the infirmities of age are
pressing so heavy upon me that I have de
termined to devote the short remainder o
my days to mortification and penance in a
narrow and lonely hole which I have
lately discovered: but let me nut interfere
with your enjoyments : youth is the sea
son for pleasure. Ile happy, therefore,
and only obey my last injunction—never
to come near me in my retreat. God
bless you all!" Deeply affected, snivelite
audibly, and wiping his paternal eyes with
his tail, the old rat withdrew, and was
seen no more for several days, when his
youngest daughter, moved rather by al
fectien than curiosity, stole to his cell of
mortification, which tamed out to o

Jeff: Davis on Civilized Warfare.
The impudence of the rebel leader;
knows no limit. Witness the recent order
of the Confederate War Department, and
the accompanying letter of dell. Davis,
complaining of the action or Gm l'ap e is
using the property of disloyal citizens in
Virginia. Mr. Davis speaks of the "sav
age cruelty'' of our soldiers. talks about
"outrages on common humanity, — and vi
olation of the rules of "civilized warfare,"
conveniently forgetful of the fact that, the
rebel government has outraged all the
rules of war, by recognizing, encouraging
and employing guerrillas, as they are
pleased to call them, but, in reality, mere
banditti and vagrant cntthroats who prey
upon foes and friends. The greatest gen
erals of modern times have rejected the
services of this class of troops. Napoleon
and Wellington alike repressed them in
Spain during the Peninsular war. It re
mained
for the government of the "Con
federacy" to apply usages not recognized
by civilized nations; and yet Mr. Davis
has the impudence to rebuke our generals
because they treat avowed traitors and
spies "farmers by day and soldiers by
night"—with the stringency which they
deserve.
The conduct of Albert Pike's savages in
the West, who scalped the wounded sol
diers ofthe Union army, and the cold
blooded murder of General McCook by the
guerrillas—the foulest deed that ever stain
ed the annals of any war outside the
realms of the King of Dahomey--remain
on record to attest which army has been
governed by the dictates of humanity and
the usages of civilized warfare. Impartial
history . . ll
do justice to the armies en
geiged-sn tkis struggle upon that question ;
but, meantime, we denounce the balderdash
of Jeff. Davis about humanity and the
honorable usages of war as false and impu
dent:

‘ : There has been much speculation a,
to the probable designation of Cassius M.
Clay to the eommand of an important
military department in the West, where
Mr. Clay enjoys particularly a high repu
tation for courage and those qualities of
head and heart essential to an able mili
tary commander; but there is a greater
probability that he will not assume any
military position. lie has notyet accept.
ed the appointment of Major-General since
his return from St. Petersburg. He has
come to the conclusion that there are al
ready at the head of important armies too
many generals taken from civil life. He
has arrived too late to avail himself'
of the experience of :t year's ser
vice enjoyed by other officers, and
although anxious - •o throw his heart
into this contest and prove his patriotism
upon the field of battle for his country, he
believes he can lie more useful elsewhere.
He enjoys the fullest confidence of the Eu
ropean powers among whom he has spent
! the last year, and confidently expresses
the opinion that there is no need for
ap
prehension of immediate foreign inter
vention front any of them. It is a fact,-
too, that Mr. Cameron is' far from popu
