"Treason does never prosper: what's the
reason?
Why, when it prospers, none dare call it
treason."
"In the old park of Coleshill, in War
wickshire, Engla❑d, formerly stood the
ancient ball of the De Montfords. In
the reign of Henry VII, Sir Simon De
M.ontford was accused of sending £3O
to Perkin Warbeck, whom be firmly
believed to be the son of Edward IV.
Ile was tried at Guildhall in 1494, for
high treason, condemned, banged, and
quartered .at 'Lyburn, and all his vast
estates confiscated."
Treason, in the United States, is con.
fined to the actual levying of war against
the government, or in adhering to its
enemies, and giving them aid and com
fort. If this alone be treason, and if
the sending of £3O to one, whom the
sender no doubt conscientiously believed
to be his rightful sovereign, constituted
an offence that .was justly punishable
with death, dismemberment and confis
cation, what, in the name of common
honesty, ought to be done with those
who are at present engaged in a rebel
lion against the Government of the
United States? or with those who are
aiding and abetting them in their trea
sonable resistance of the government?
There are doubtless very many accu
sations,—imputing treasonable motives
and actions to others.--made without
due reflection, and without a particle of
the evidence necessary in substantia
ting snub a charge ; but at the same
time, it is just as certain on the other
hand, that many treasonable words are
spoken, and acts perpetrated, that in a
rigid application of the law, would sub
ject many a ono to the most condign
punishment. It is true that the motive,
in a civil sense as well as in a moral
sense, must necessarily exercise a quali
fying influence over such an' act. Men
may be acting treasonable every day,
without being fully conscious of it; for
no man can tell exactly how far his
omissions of duty . may be construed by
the enemies of his country, into indica
tions of approval of them, on the score
that ‘'}le that is not against us is for
us ; " and therefore take comfort from it.
It is really fearful and disgusting to
see the many acts of treason that have
been perpetrated, both north and south,
in these United States,—or rather, these
once United States,—during the last
two years ; treasons before which the
crimes of Gen. Arnold, of revolutionary
notoriety, dwindle into utter insignifi
cance. Many of the men guilty of these
acts, would perhaps never think of ta
king up arms or levying war against the
government ; but at the same time, they
do not scruple or hesitate in affording
those who have taken up arms and are
waring against it, all the aid and com
fort in their power, both in their sym
pathies and their substance. Even the
denouncers of the "sympathizers," by
the bitterness and perseverance of their
personal denunciations, often convey or
impart more "aid and comfort" to the
enemies of their country, than those do
whom they denounce. It is in many in
stances through this source alone, that

die
affection, or sympathy for the enemies

FOR THE MA.RCETTIAN
TREASON.
MARIETTA, PA., SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1863.
of the government, reaches those who
are legislating, or who are in arms
against it. The invocation, "Save me
,from my friends," may be realized in a
'time of war as well as in peace, for after
all is over, and the calm unbiased judge
ment of history is recorded, it will be
found that the cause of the Union and
the Constitution has been damaged as
1.
muctt by imprudent and injudicious
friends, by unwise and conflicting legis
lation, and by wild and impracticable
"policies," as it has been by the machi
nations and treachery of its foes. All
these things afford more or less "aid
and comfort' to the country's enemies,
albeit they may be intended to counter
act, overwhelm, or subdue them. In
cases of common daiige involving the
very existence of the government under
which we have lived and prospered for
a long series of years, it becomes every
citizen, without regard to his circum
stances, occupation, or party predilec
tions, to stand firmly and unequivocally
in support and defense of the govern.
went, even" if he differs in his views
from the policy which its functionaries
may be pursuing to sustain the supre
macy of its laws ; because, a failure to
do so, may be assisting those who are
determined on its ultimate overthrow.
It is doubtful whether the present re•
hellion would have been so formidable
as it is, or would have continued so long
as it has, if those who initiated it had
not confidently looked to the northern
States for a large amount of "aid and
comfort" in conducting and executing
their unhallowed designs. As "drown
ing men grasp at straws," even so every
indication or rumor of disaffection to
the administration in the north, was im
mediately taken hold of by the south
as evidences of approval of their course,
and therefore it afforded them sufficient
"aid and comfort" to enable them to
continue the contest. In many, yea, in
hundreds and thousands of cases, this
kind of aid and comfort was afforded
unconsciously, and without any inten
tion to assist the rebels ; but had its
origin in that sensoriousnoss which is
always consequent upon different ideas,
views and opinions in regard to the ex
ercise of governmental powers, and the
policy by which it ought to be controlled
in conducting a war against its enemies.
The fact is, the whole war is an intesti
nal political war,—having its superindu
cing causes perhaps grounded in the
corruptions, inequalities and tyranies of
the unregenerate human heart—but still
for long years fostered and finally fanned
into a hellish flame, through political
agitations and for the accomplishment
of political ends. Local, political and
social prejudices, state pride, and sec
tional animosities, had for a long time
so occupied and absorbed the minds and
hearts of a majority of the people, that
their allegiance to the General Govern
ment became weakened or entirely ob_
literated, and consequently treasonable
thoughts, intents and purposes, were ha
bitually indulged in for long years before
they, from subsequent provocations,—
real or imaginary—broke out,' into trea
sonable actions. These are not the re
sults of a single cause, but are the con
sequences or outbirths of a combination
of causes, all calculated to engender
animosities, distrusts, and jealousies
among the great body of the people,
upon whose integrity and mutual con.
cession, a government constructed like
that of the United States, alone can
permanently exist and prosper.
Great God, is it possible that intelli
gent men in this nineteenth century will
imperil their country's very existence,
as a free and independent state, in
the darkest hour of her internal conflict,
because they cannot save it after their
own fashion, by their own hands, and
according to their own political princi
ples ? Or, because peculations, frauds,
and corruptions may have been detected
among official functionaries, these cir
cumstances should alter cases so much,
that they can stand and quietly look
upon their struggling country withoat
sacrificing the selfish considerations
which interpose between them and the
salvation of the "Union and the Consti
tution," and manfully come to her aid ?
It seems to me that no matter how black
the frauds, how pestilent the corruptions,
or how arbitrary and tyrannical the
usurpations of the party may be, which
is in power, these very facts should be
an additional stimulant to every patriot ,
to offer his all in support of the govern
ment ; for if there is no government, no
country and no constitution, a state of
fearful anarchy must fellow, and all
power to fairly and legally judge and
punish offenders, must be- entirely oh-.
literated.
These are unfortunately "the strata
gems the treasons and the spoils" from
which our country has heretofore most
suffered, and is now most suffering.—
True, a formidable levying of war against
the government, and a taking up arms
to resist its authority and overthrow its
power, has been inaugurated by the peo
ple of the South ; but, had there been a
united sentiment in the north against
this rebellion, and had a determined
course, based upon the principles of the
constitution, and all existing compromi
ses been pursued at the proper time, and
persevered in, it is impossible that there
should have followed such a formidable
rebellion, or such many-colored treasons.
Of course, if the south should finally
establish her independence, her citizens
will cease to be rebels, as was the case
of the revolted English colonies, consti
tuting the original United States ; but
the meanings and definitions of some
words in our language must undergo a
radical change, if ever they are able to
wipe oat the fact that they have perpe
trated treason.
But, to every subject there is "another
side," and in discussing this, we will
commence by quoting a continuation of
the . De Montford case : 'The people
beheld with surprise that he who had
been the accuser of De Montford at the
bar—Simon Digby, keeper of the tower
—speedily became the possessor of his
estate at Coleshill, and established him
self as master in his ancient house there.
In this very house, according to tradi
tion, a descendant of this Simon Digby,
who attained it by the destruction of its
lawful lord, on a plea of high treason,
was wont to hold secret councils with
Catesby and his fellows, concocting a
scheme of treason of the most terrible
description, and which brought him to
the block, when all other circumstances
tended to his felicity and advancing for
tune." If there are not false imputa
tions and charges of treason made now
in this contest against individuals who
may conscientiously differ in their ideas
of • policy and of duty, then the dark
chaos, politically and socially, in which
we. are now involved, will be character
ized by no recriminations and retalia
tions when Order is again restored.—
But, unregenerated human nature, is
human nature in all ages of the world,
in all places in the world, and among all
conditions of the world ; and, therefore,
if there are not long accounts of ven
geance to settle at some future day,
then it will be because the Almighty has
o overruled the wickedness of men, as
to bring them out of their present diffi
culties and conflicts, with the mutual
conviction that they have all been
somewhat in the wrong, and have all
been justly chastised. But in order to
avoid any future unpleasant and vindic
tive reckonings, men should be governed
in all their thoughts, words, and actions,
by a strict regard for truth, honor and
charity, extenuating nothing, and,setting
nought down in malice. The man who
cries out treason against his neighbor,
for the advancement of his own selfish
and wicked endi, although he may - be
innocent of littoral treason himself, is to
be as much scorned, and is as deterving
of punishment, as the willful traitor;
and should he escape the laws of man,
he must stand condemned before the
just tribunal of his God. The tempta
tions by which men are surroundededu
ring periods of war, confusion and mili
tary or revolutionary excitement, be
come tenfold stronger than they are
times of prosperity and peace, and all
moral bonds become loosened if not en
tirely broken ; and therefore, in order
to become the possessor of another's
property or his patronage, to brand him
with the charge of treason, is done with
out much, or any, conscientious com
punctions. Among no set of men is it
so common to cry out "traitor" against
those who may differ from them in °pin
lon as it is among leading and wire=
working politicians. No political click
or party now existing in this country is
free from this habit, and if "soft peace,"
good will among men, prosperity and
tranquility are ever -to be valued and
restored again, men cannot begin too
soon to endeavor to bring about a radi
cal reform in this respect.
It, is very ofteh as much as a mnn's
reputation, his property,-or even his life
is worth, if he should for a .moment dis
sent from.the popular clamor, or domi
nant policy, no matter how radical and
unwise they are, or how much they may
be in. -,subversion of the fundamental
principles of organic law. This has been
eminently the case throughout the
southern ptates, and but for this, the
rebellion against the authority of the
general government could never have
=,. - talodi_Bliocl April 11, 1E35'1
been inaugurated or sustained. Fidelity
to the legally constituted national au
thority was construed into treason
against the gratuitous authority that was
set up against it.
There is something supremely diabol
ical in unprincipled and aspiring men,
forcing an issue upon the people of a
country, which they never sought or
in any wise desired, and then 'denoun
cing them as traitors, because they do
not support it with the same zeal which
those do who have been chiefly instru
mental in initiating it, and who expect
to advance their own selfish ends alone,
tiy its success. But the violations of
the fundamental principles of the organ
ic law, and the compacts and compro
mises that are authorized and have
grown out of them, are none the less
diabolical in one section of the country
than they are in another; neither are
the denunciations of those who practi•
cally repudiate those principles and
compacts, any the less unjust, unwise
and unpatriotic. Man has a religious
character—or a moral character, if you
please--as well as a political and a so
cial character; and if he is morally and
religiously corrupt, it is not likely that
he will be always politically and social
ly pure; therefore, his charges of trea
son against his neighbor, based purely
upon diverse political or social views,
may not always be stamped with that
disinterestedness and truthfulness which
entitles them to the credence of the peo
ple, or the cognizance of the constituted
authorities. •
If there is any one term or epithet of
reproach that has given character to the
political contests in this country for the
last thirty years, it has been that of
"traitor" or "treason" which has been
indiscriminately applied to those who
have been restive under, or who have
failed to acknowledge the binding power
of, the party yoke. Men have become
so familiarized with this kind of politcai
complimenting during times of peace,
that now, when the country — is embroiled
in an internecine war, the same indis
criminate practice is almost unlimitedly
followed, both in regard to the actions
of private, citizens, public functionaries,
and general and subordinate officers in
the gory field.
By all the patriot blood that has
drenched our country's soil,—by the
widows and orphans which this cruel
war has mado,—by the mangled limbs
and mutillations, which those who sur
vive it must carry to their graves, and
by the financial and commercial distress
which must be ultimately entailed upon
us all, it is time that their political and
social recriminations should cease ; and
that men should begin to take a moral
and religious view of the responsibilities
devolving upon them as citizens and sol
diers. If the hand of God is not ac
knowledged in the building of our po
litical house, and in our endeavors to
wrest it from the hands of the despoiler
and restore it to its original condition,
then "the workmen labor in vain." In
working with the means which the Al
mighty has placed in our power, there
ought to be some acknowledgement that
he has vouchsafed these means ; and
there ought to be a real, christian inqui
ry as to how they are to be used, so as
to. make the nearest approximation to
the will of Him who baq . permitted them
to be used, keeping in view, that he has
only permitted that to transpire which
is capable of being overruled for the
greatest good to our country, without
trespassing upon the moral freedom of
its people. The motives of all men ought
to be canvassed by a careful and unbi
ased self-examination in the light of the
sacred oracles and of the common law;
and if any tratorous intents or purposes
are lurking in the human heart, or any
false and interested accusations, they
ought at once be driven out, suppressed,
or destroyed; and there only, shall we
be able to drive out, suppress and de
stroy treason to our country.
Doubtless there are many real trai
tors in our country, for if- this were not
so, no such rebellion against the-nation
al authority could have been organized
and carried. into-effect, as that which
has disgraced the last two years of its
political existence. But if there are
real traitors, the creation of thousands
of imaginary ones, through the warped
and diseased criticisms of the perverted
human will and understanding, will never
destroy the real ones, nor advance the
righteous cause. The peculiar con
struction of our government differs wide
ly from any other which exists now, or
which has ever existed on this earth
and-therefore, there will perhaps always
be more or less conflicting local opin
ions in regard to its general and local
DINMONIMINCENICIRRIMII7IOII
NO. 46.
powers ; and the fealty of its people,
relatively, to those powers. Local cus
toms and prejthlices have so entirely
absorbed the minds and conduct of the
people in many places, ever since the
formation of the General Government,
that it is almost a wonder that it should
have been respected so long, or that its
very -existence should be known and
`recognized. In such localities, although
treason de jure may be rampant, yet
there may well be a doubt whether it
can exist de „facto, so far as the cotumon
people are concerned. .
Although this state of things may
make it none the less our duty to sup
press rebellion and punish treason ; yet
there are circumstances that must very
materially alter cases, if our judgement
is to be a righteous one. But when the
bloody and unnatural strife, and the
clash of arms at last shall cease—as
cease it ultimately must—and the day
of final reckoning comes, the real trai
tors to their country, will meet a traitor's
reward ; and impartial history record
the traitor's doom, even if they should
elude the meshes of the law. The doom
of the traitor Arnold (a mere pygmy
in iniquity compared with Davis, Floyd,
Sr, C 0.,) was none the less awful and se
vere, even though ho never had been ar
rested, tried, convicted, condemned or
executed.
But suppose treason should succeed
—which heaven forefend—in establish
ing its dominion over the territory
which it claims, dare we then persist in
calling it treason, albeit it may eminent
ly be so? Our fore-fathers revolted
against the tyrannies of the "mother
country," and while the revolt contin
ued she called the revolters rebels; and
so far as it was practicable she meted
out to them a rebel's reward, But. sub
sequently she recognized them as belli
gerents, and extended to them the cour
tesies'prescribed by the laws of nations
in times of war ; and finally ehe acknowl
edged them as a seporate and indepen
dent nation. From the very moment of
the commencement of that seven years'
conflict, until the triumphant termina
tion, the colonies had many potent and
influential friends among the British
people, and in the British parlia
ment ; 'yet no man charged a Brit
ish commoner or a peer, with treason to
his country, although thousands called
the rebels traitors. The present issue
in our country is not a parallel case ;
yet, may not a period come, when none
dare call rebellion Treason ?
