The TREASON TRIALS are in progress at
Philadelphia, but can it be that any will be
convicted? and if convicted can it be that any
will be executed We would not, we could
not believe that the Government was in earnest
in this extraordinary measure. But the last
National Era published at the now well estab-
lished seat of the Slave Power, and a close OBJ
server of its Vaccinations, raises the alarm that
the accused are in danger-that the admins
tration are secretly urging such conviction and
punishment, and that they have secured pack
ed jury who are ready to do their part of the
bloody work. Well, let them go on if they dare.
The death of the first Quaker they hang for
these acts of sympathy, or any thing as yet laid
to the charge Of this peaceful people, will kindle
fire IN the land that will make men breathe
short and hesitate, but only hesitate between
lthe retrbuton of the ballot and cartridge box.

lay before our readers the new feature, which, in
