The_editor, of tho Warren Mail, writing
• from Washington City; cites the following
proof of the, " P rogress of Free Opin..
ion's in that highly virtuous and " loyal "
J ...eonuntknity :
" Ntring the week, Fred Douglas and
Hero:l*(3lmley hare lectured to crowd
ed houses. A few years ago they would
, *aye been mobbed. Now the trouble is
to find a hall large enough to hold their
'hearers. • The first night Doizglas spoke it
• — fa eathhated that at least one thousand
were turned away. 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

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

- of this result he is for destroying it ; if it

THE COLISAMOD CAKPIIIIVIC POLICY.
Had President Lincoln exerted all his

them rekarded as thi most odiointituti
maddening. he oinlcksaiefaition on Iloilo
ing better adapted to his purpose than
the strange oath he has tenderid them to
support his proclamation of emancipation,
and all other proclamations having refer-
ence to slaves irhichhn May' think fit to
issue. ' 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? _

of New York and New Jersey, (Seymour
and'Parker,) immediately set their ma- '
chinery to Work, 'dud - by State bonnties,
bare procured a large numger of robin- '
teem, some of them Pennsylvanians. 1 ,
The first thing !seen or beard of the
l
"loyal" Governor Ourtin, on this subject,l
is on the 10th of' December, nearly two
months after the President's call, and
then he has no State bounties to offer,
but tells the peopl e that their can tr 3 to
save themselves b y counties', towns, &a.,
during the less thari four weeks remain
ing before the day of conscription draft !
How our very "lojal" Governor was spend
ing his time during the almost two months
that he did nothing. while the disloyal'
rApperhead Govdnors of New York and
ew Jersey were actively at work, is not
nown. 14 might have been sober, or he
might have been drunk; he might have
been awake, hemight have been asleep,
Solar as doing anything, it is all the same
as if he bad been hoth drunk and asleep.-
- His negligence, and inefficiency haver
permitted hundreds and perhaps thou
sands of men who might bait) been secur
ed to the credit of Pennsylvania's quota,
to be taken
,by other States, and it is
stated that a considerable number of the
Pennsylvania Itaserves have re-enlisted as
veterans to the credit of other States, be
cause of the State bounty and extra pay
given !!
Verily, what a difference' between the
miserable apology of a Ctovernor which it
in Pennsylvania's misfortune to have, and
a live, satire "Copperhead" Governor like
that of New York or New 'Jersey ! 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. They hive
,been working for
Coe another's interests ever since the.
innesetteement of seetienal agitation.
