I allude to this merely to indicate the change in public sentiment in this city so long ruled by the slaieocracy, where now a serenade to a public man is hardly complete without John. Brown." as Mr. Cowan claims, we are pro• greening at a rapid !Ate. The absurd no- lions which those old fogy fellows, George Washington, - Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and the rest of thatt'hand of prominent • 'men whom the nation in its simple igno -ranee supposed to be great and wise, once taught' about - affairs of government and patriotism, are no longer fashionable, and we have in their stead the new gospel of "loyalty" as laid down by Greeley, Sew ard, Fred. Douglas and John - Brown.— This is the kind of "progress" that a man would make when he had reached the top of a ladder, and was tumbling down, .head foremost. ASTONIEWNO CONVERSION : The New York Times Talks like Cop . perhead. - We find in the New York Times of the • • 22d inst., the following striking article, which, coming from the source it does, ' possesses more than ordinary significance. It will be seen that the Times, which is an unquestionably " loyal" Raper, as ' "loyalty" is of late defined, advances the very Same doctrines that we have always maintained, and for doirrg which the Ob. *cher has been' denounced by every Abo lition disunion ranter in the county. a; a Copperhead sheet and -syrup ithizer vith treason." We commend to the especial attention of this class: the remarks of • .. tlieir*, fellow loyalist." Ifenry -I. Ray - • mond : . "The fact is, s Lys the Times, hir. Phil lip% and thefanatics who follow his lead, have become complete monomaniacs on the subject' of the negro. They have .• brooded so long over his wrongs that they •,' • Orearicit conceive that anybody else: has !--, any rights. They claim for negrys tries, immunities, privileges and rights, which they would never dream of claim . -.'• itlig for whites. • They profess to supiTort •••• the' - Constitution until it stands in the way of their schemes for negro supremacy ; than' they abanitan the Constitution and rued by the negro. Their test of patri otism is devotion.to the negre: They are ' for 'preserving t6e Union if it wilrhelp ' the negroes ; if not, they are for destroy ' ing it. They are for prosecuting the war 'because it will help the negroes ; the-mo ment they find or fancy it will not, they - are for peace. Mr. Phillips would infin itely prefer disunion with the abolition of slavery te the Union without it; and so , would the great body of those-who accept him as their political guide.. "It is becoming fashionable in some. „ quarters to speak of this as "unconditional loyalty:' The men in the Southern States who are for abolishing slavery are called by some of our leading political journals, " unconditional loyalists," while Union , men, like Gov. Bramletto, of Kentucky, who are not in favor of it, are sweepingly . • and remorselessly denounced as semi-se cessionists. _Nothing can ,be. more false . -or unjust. The question of abolition has nothing whatever to do with the question --of loyalty. A. Pro-Slivery man may be loyal, while many Anti -Slavery Men are • certainly and conspicuously disloyal.— „That man is loyal who is 'tor sustaining ' t the Government, crushing_ the rebellion • and preserving the Union without regard • • ,to slavery.

' Purporting to be, an emollient, and put forth under the guise of an am nesty, it seeks out the sorest, the most inflamed, the most sensitive spot In the southern mind, and applies to it a burn ing brand. It is a proposition which the South will feel it cannot accept without 'a degrr eof voluntary self-degradation which every southerner of spirit and character will as worse than death. It is idle for Mr. Lincoln's apologists to prate about what may seem reasonable and just from the extreme abolition stand-point, through aboltiori eyes. When a few years MO,' the British came near losing a great por tion of their Indian empire by . compell ing the Sepoys to use greased cartridges, it Would have been entirely beside. the purpose for a British statesman to .. addressed to the British people on .., ment demonstrating the absurdity of the Sepoy prejudices. British sol4liers, it is true, bit' off the ends of the greased car tridges with as much unconcern as they would eat their rations. It would be pos sible to prove, on strict: physiological grounds, that this practice was as harmless to the body of a Sepoy ,as to that of a Briton, and, on grounds of Christian doc trine, that it could no more contaminate or imperil the soul of the one than of the other. But all such arguments would have been the sheerest trifling and imper jinence, and no man having the slightest pretentions to statesmanship could have used them. "It is the imagination," said Napoleon once, "that rules the wairld." All great revolutionary movements ar e , inspired and dominated by ideas. Men engaged in a revolution are always in a' state of mental exaltation, which causes them to nee the matters in contest through an ideal atmosphere. A slight tax upon tea, regarded on its prose side, was a petty question of three pence in the pocket of n colonist as weighed against the !support of a public revenue.. George the Third and Lord North, by refusing, in their blindness, to make allowance for the ideal views of the colonist which converted that tax into the symbol of tyranny,-con vulsed and dismembered the British, em pire. Louis the Sixteenth was the mild est of French sovereigns, Ind De Tocque yille pays that monarchy never pressed eo lightly on the people as at the outbreak of the revolution: - But the French mind had passed under the dominion of great ideas, and the old institutions could no more control them than a flaxen band can fetter flame. The exaltation of feel ing F which supplies impulse to revolution may be poetry, or it 'may be madness, which is a sort ,of diseased poetry—its character in this respect depends on the goodness of the cause; bot whether it in spire heroism or demonism, it is • thing to be managed rather than reasoned with. President Lincoln has shown •himself utterly destitute of the statesmanlike tact requisite for dealing with h great people in: revolt ; he is as blind as was Lord North ; he is as blind as was Philip the Second,of Spain, when he losrthe Nether lands. - 'Never, since the creation of man, has there been a people so led captive by their imaginations, so subject to the des potism of ideas, as the people of the South. Call their ideal grievances pre judices, if yOu will; brand their ardor, their vehemence, their persistence as black and rampant treason ; but, under every aspect in which their conduct can be viewed, the fact stands unshaken that they are a people surrendered to their ideas. If Mr. Lincoln were a statesman, if he were even - a man of ordinary prudence and sagacity, he would see the necessity of touching the peculiar wound of the South with as light a hand as pos s:ible. Instead of this he chafes and in flames it. Not strong enough himself, though wielding the whole power of the , government, to resist the revolutionary exaltatiohend fanatic fervor of the aboli tionists, how can be expect private nit. inns of the South to brave an exalt/Won and fervor which, in that section, is • all but unanimous? _ Suppose that, when the quaker, Pup more Williamson. was lying is prison in Philadelphia, and Booth the liirliecnitin editor, was in the Philad4l4 President Buchanan had, in the .417.11460 of the pardoning posies., published'a gee eral proclamation of amnesty, to , all who had resisted the Fugitive Blare lair, hut,' as a condition of grace, had imposed the following oath, which; mantis mattandit, is precisely the oath offered by President Lincoln : do solemnly swear, in pre sence of Almighty God, that will hence forth faithfully sup Port, _protect and de. fend the ConaftWitien of Me United States and-the Union of the Mates thereunder,' and that I will, in like manner, abide by and faithfully support all acts of Congress pied with reference to fitskiei Viva, so Fong, and so far as not repeetekaninlifhei„ or held void brUongreis or decision o the Supra:Gotland, and that Iby 'M mai** f manner abide by end &WM? safilmit the Yligitive Slays Ad i1f.1&50 an all other acts of Oigrega hereafter pilled, haring reference - A(O4ON slum, on and so fpr as not modified or declared void by decision of the Fk4resser Court. 80 bap me God 1 = ' . . . , Suppose,we_ ay; sr .

West Mesta. Je jersonion. &NAME. BALI; of NW, Hampshire. has' introduced # bill into Congress. which he calls " an Act to suppress the rebellion." To shoW the radical method of " suppres sing rebellion," we copy its leading pro vision : " Hereafter all persons within the Mil ted States of America are equal before the law, and all claiins to personal service ex cept those founded on contract, and the_ claim of a parent to the service of a minor child, and service rendered in pursuance of sentence for the punishment of crime, be and the same are hereby abolished— anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstaud- ing." The public have heretofore thought that the only means of "suppressing the rebellion." was by powder, ball and troops, and laboring under. this delusion, they have prolecuted the attempt for nearly three years, at a cost of two thou• sand millions of dollars, and half a ma-, lion of preclohs lives.. It would seem that all this expense of blood and trea sure has been' useless, and the task we have heretofore supposed so enormous, is. to be put dowit by a simple onactment of Congress. Senator Hale May be entitled to letters patetit for a great discovery, but we suspect that be will hardly be willing to warrant his own invention. Tus Harrisburg Teltgrryh was once a paper that was widely respected, and ex erted en immense influence. When men of honor,and ability edited it, like Theo. Fenn, the Veteran Whig,fitephen Miller, just elected Governor of Minnesota, and Col. Alex. K. McClure, il l was always read with interest,] and esteemed even .by its political opponents. • NOrr, however, it has degenerated into a mere fish-woman's sheet, and is the receptacle for all &e filth that can be dragged! ou4 of the mul titudinous dunghills of Abolitionism. Snots it passed into the hands of the pre. sent proprietor, it had been going down the hill of indecency. step . by step, until it has reached the lowest depth—that of being edited by a Forney. Asa general thing, the lees an Aboli tion disunionist knows, sees or reads, of Democratic paper, the more he abuses it. One of this class was heard, the other day, talking in an especially severe man ner against al;ding conservative journal. r " Have you much in it," was asked of him. "No, air," he replied, with vehe ment indignation, "1 wouldn't touch the. dirty thing With a ten foot pole." We submit to our readers how well qualified be was Jo judge of the paper's patriotism or ability. 4lnfortunately, the spirit he exhibited is *linoottunon with his class. The most virulent of them are those who will neither look at a Democratic organ, nor poet themselves on Democratic • r prin• ciples. Ma. Ifseacen V. JC . nliftQN calls the Ad ministration of Jeff. Davis the " Govern ment", of the Southern Confederacy, just as the Abolfrum disunionists call that of Mr Lheoht. the "Government" of the Union ; and like them also, he is not wil ling to allow the until,, of the "Govern ment" to be criticised. But this is, not the • only instance in which , the rebel holders and the Abolition disunion lead ers-agree.
