Doctrines Of the Administration Papers Of the

North.
We copy below two important articles from
the Albany Register and Boston Courier, jour-
nails which, from their jealous advocacy of the
whole policy ofthe administration, may be pre-
missed TO possess its confidence in peculiar de-
gree;
From the Albany State Register.
| TREASON IN THE HEART OF N. YORK.
| Any effort, whether made by one man or by com
bnatlon OF men, to overthrow or destroy the govern
ing power of any nation made by citizens OF such
nation s treason. ln monarches the king or emperor,
or whatever the ruler may be styled is the governing
power. In republics the sovereignty resides in the
people who give expression TO their will by laws con
suionaly enacted If those laws are successfully re-
sisted the government etfectually overthrown and
destroyed, as would be in monarchy, by the de-
thronement and execution OF king. Opposition to
the government by forcibe resistance OF the laws
therefore, in republic, by its destructive consequent
ces, by its notification OF the sovereignty OF the people
censtltutlonay exercised, is treason. Such was the
offence, coupled with MURDER recently committed at
Christiana, Pennsy lvanla We are now called upon
TO record similar and more aggravated case Of
this character though fortunately moi stained with the
crime of murder, at Syracuse, in our own State.
| A prisoner, the hands ofthe Deputy Marshal of
the United States rescued from his custody, in the
presence of a u. S. judicial officer, before whom an
examination was progressing. He was, however, re-
captured, and taken before tie officer, and there
the further hearing of the matter interrupted by an in
vasion of the police office, which was broken into, the
officers OF the government stoned, shot at, injured and
their prisoner torcbly wrested rom custody and
red off. This was undoubtedly the work of both ne
groes and abolitionsts,
Thus concerted and armed resistance TO the constitu
ton and laws under which this republic is organized,
riumphed. The executive arm OF the government was
stricken down by aagrant acts OF violence and rendcr

and the laws OF Congress, were torcibly nuGed and

citizens and lovers OF order. The character of this

disregarded their constitutional obligations broken the
compact of union by which these States bound to-

have become rebellious law-breaking people

and doctrines which have been for some time past pro-
claimed by portion off the press and preached from the
pulpit, and sanctioned by public assemblies in SYRIA

duced TO practice in the form OF treason against the
government.
These things must come TO an end, or constitutional
government must give place to anarchy and the Union
be dissolved. The authorities to whom the admins.

sary, and will be used for that purpose All good
men will stand by the authorities of their country and
aid them in executing the laws. And it will become
the people OF Syracuse to it, that the traitors in
their midst arrested and punshed,that treason and
rebellion not victorious there again, and thus wipe
of something oil the stain that dlstgureS the
putaon of their city.

has arisen in our domestic politics, and thrust itself by
lis superior Importance completely the face of the
old rival interests OF Wing and Democrat; since the
preservation of the Union has become an object OF
paramount importance, we have certain leaders
among the Democrats attempt to bring that party into
credit with the nation by putting forth claims in its
behalf as the only Union and National party We do
not profess to wonder that strong desire should be
felt by these gentlemen to nationalist themselves and
