We quote the following article from the To-
ledo (Ohio) Republican, as conveying import
ant" intelligence, and showing a change OF
tactics on the part of the Abolitionists, black
and white since the acquescence of the South
in the compromise measures
1--WE were going TO announce an important
change Of opinion, on an important subject, by
two gentlemen Of importance TO the anti-sla-
very cause. Frederick Douglass and Charles
Lenox Remond, are we'll known on both sides
Of the Atlantic as able defenders of that cause.
The latter has fiery elOqueDce the former

the two caucuses here, goes on to say
These facts, all Of VIII Oh were substantially
admitted by members, who were present al the

on Monday, go far to confirm our previous
convictions Of the purpose Of the Wing and
Democratic parties at the North, 10 bid very
high for the vote Of the Union party Of the
South. Thus far, however, the Wings have
made decidedly the best showing, and we look
for bold gam the part Of the Democrats,
in the shape Pome marGuvre in the House
In the form ofSssolutions. There is, therefore,
in our opinion, but one course for the Union
men Of the South TO pursue, in the midst of all
this juggling and intriguing Of the two parties
at the North, and that is to move steadily for.
ward in the formation Of great national, con.
servative party, pledged TO the support and
maintenance Of the compromise. Hang out
your banner on the outer wall, invite the con.
sentative men Of all parties and sections 10 rally
under its folds, and kick out all the political
tficksters, whether Northern fanatics or South.
srn agitators, who are ever ready to barter
principles for office-give them no seat in them
and should they thrust themselves in, let them
understand that their characters and purposes
are fully understood, and that they cannot hope
to disturb the harmony Of the great National,
Union Conservative party.
The Union men Of the South hold now the
destinies of the country in their hands, and if
they cut loose promptly from all old party ALI.
aBces, and unite on a national platform, they
may dictate the policy Of the government f = a
generation. But TO do this, there must be no
tsmporizng policy, no tinkering--they must lay
down their platform, ard invite those who are
willing to defend it TO rally upon it and by nc
means wait to hear the bids and propositions OF
the corrupt intriguers of the two parties at the
North. Let, therefore; Southern members oil
Congress see to it, that they do not sacrifice this
commanding position and the interests Of their
section, if not the Union itself, by any petty in
tigues to reorgarrze parties upon the old ex-
ploded platforms, or a cunningly devised effort
TO make political capital.

THt TREASON TRrALs.-ln the U. S. District

sumsd and continued his argument in behalf Of
the accused. He quoted literally from English

or rebellion, although in some Of the cases the
parties were only tried for riot. He next turned
his attention to United States treason cases Shay

rW- In some unaccountable way the omitted

eB In some unaccountable way the omitted
portion of the remarks of KossUTH, in relation
to the proceedings of Congress, were left out of
yesterdays editorial We therefore append
them. The passages occurred in his response
to the Philadelphia invitation.
The reason why say this, is, that though
am fully aware of the circumstance that in the
United States it is the public opinion of the
people which decides in the last instance on
public affairs, and though must confess that
have received here in New York such mani
festation of the sympathy of the people as gives
me hope and consolation, still ! regard myself
invited to this country by an act of Congress
initiated in the Senate. Now, had known that
in the same place where was invited, the same
body would now decline to bid me a welcome,
would have thought that was not welcome
guest; SO much the more as the President Of
the United States has formally invited the Con-
gress in his message to consider what steps are
to be taken to receive the man for whom he has
sent frigate to Asia, complying with the will
Of the same body in which now a resolution of
no further political tendency-the simple res
olution to bid me welcome-was withdrawn,
on account of an expected opposition. Under
such circumstances would not have wished to
intrude. ~. ... .'.s s..."
And as it was, with the utmost gratitude to
all who bestowed on him such marks of kind
ness as the city of Philadelphia had offered, and
especially with sentiments of sincere regard for
Philadelphia and its citizens, he must defer for a
day or two any positive reply to the request
which had been made to him. ~. 49,. 49,.
