THE UNION.

These men have long since met the public reprobation
due to their unpaHiote, il not reasonable efforts The
patriotism OF the country stamped the mark of its wrath
upon their foreheads and yet they the brand
But in their day they invoked in their defence Just as
you now invoke, 1.-THE freedom OF speech" and he free
dom OF the press" And how, then, did you-you, the
National Intelgencer-you, the then official organ of
Mr.. Madisons OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES did you then treat
them and their plea' You overwhelmed them with de-
nuncations. Without WEAKNESS and without,pity you
beat them down with the triple OF reasoning, in-
vective and rdcule You babe them Silence in the
OF all the sacred obligations OF patriotic duty And
concentrating into fierce phrase all the ferest ee-
ments OF patriots righteous Indignation, you stigma
tzed the TRAITORS in thought and purpose -
and you branded their guilt as MORAL TREASON y
Side by side with you in this work, good though stern
stood then, among other fellow -laborers on the same
great republican platform, the Aurora at Philadelphia
and the Enquirer at Richmond. Since that day more
than thirty years have passed The pen of the elder
Duane which then beahed its patriotic fire into the col
umns OF the Aurora, has been lost to the country But
the cause yet remains 1t is the cause of the country
against the foreign foe And the "Union" yet stands
up-even the Enquirer-even as zoe all stood up of
yore-to denounee the matricidal spirit of those who
would cry down that of their country in her hour of
trial and OF war! The spirit OF the Inelligencer alone
has waxed feeble with years. faint or false of heart
And now, like those upon whom you were then the
foremost to heap a crushing weight OF obloquy, you
shrink for shelter behind what you call the Freedom

against the country!
What then, in 1914, to your adversares avaled their
plea, noW become your plea, OF such " Free

chusetts minister OF the gospel stood up his pulpit to
denounce the with England, you now denounce
the war with Mexico And you set the mans sermon
and his in your columns, upon plory, to be
mock and butt and by word Of reproach to the whole
nation! No calling, no function, however high and
however sacred, could then be shield from your de-
nunciations. And do you now turn round, and demand
exemption for YOURSELF and for your friends, from that
measure Of Justice which you then meted to ohersl
Such demand cannot avail Such demand you have
no right to make Out OF your mouth, and accord
ing to your own acts you are judged And it lies not
with you to deny that the judgment Is righteous!
