THE DISTINGUISHES ALARMED.

Some of the Fremont leaders alarmed the signs Of
indignation in the popular heart against their disunon
sentiments They find that they have been rash In
ing openly the reasonable ends they have in view They
discover that theres point beyond which the conservative
friends Of and the Union viii exercise
passive orbearan They hear the muttcng thunder of
indignant host OF true national men, terrible than
army with banners" Devotion the Union Is senti-
men mbedded in the heart Of hearts Of people Idle
threats OF disunisn make impression upon the great
popular mind which reposes in the conviction that
spectacle portion Of citizens capable of earnestly
harborng the damning sentiment of to the Union
II is this feeling Of security which makes the slow
70 realize the present danger 1t knowledge Of this
security the part OF the people that embroidered
the abolition leaders to the rash disclosures Of their objects
which are now causing them to fear and trembe They
have tempted the forbearance and confidence Of the
conservative spirit Of the country far That spirit Is
being aroused TO the real danger and 1t is this fact
which spreads CONSERVATION in the camp Of the conspa-
tors
What else but alarm has induced the New York Herald
forward 10 elaborate leaders prove that dsunon
could not be necessary result Of the election Of Fremont
What else compes Cen Webb apologize for the infa-
declaration in the Philadelphia convention that II
their nominee should not be elected they would appeal
the sword Nothing short Of the pressure brought bear
bis yainrorous subbornness by the alarm Of his
conspiratos could have forced him to the humatng
ession that his declaration made under excitement
and that but himself ought TO be held responsible
for It, When that reasonable speech made the dele
gate, received It with loud applav's How then, does
General Webb relieve the convention which endorsed his
treason from responsibility
The facts are too clear to be by the imsy eIplana-
tons and apologies Of General Webb by the msy
reasoning Of his coadutor Of The Herald their wild
natcsm and blind confidence they have dared to defy
the love of Union which animates the hearts Of all nation
al They have deliberately planned presidential
test in which the North is arrayed against the South
They have with wicked generalization repudated fifteen
States unworthy Of their political association. They
have botted out from the national banner fifteen of its
glorious stars and have up flagstaff with that ban
ner mulated and in twain One OF their leaders In
Congress has advised that black lines be drawn around the
constitution and that the word ezpgsd be written
Its pages Is II wonderful that such open and undisgused
acts Of dsunion should the conservative spirit Of
the country II has aroused II and because its power Is
known TO be irresistible these frightened conprators turn
pale with fear and apologize But the issue is not to be
changed the contest is be fought OUT the national
men now see what the Fremont leaders seek to accomplish
they know the work they have to perform and they will
listen to explanations or apologies but wage an I'M
ceasng war upon the disunioniss until the indignant
Judgment Of the country shall overwhem the traitors with
a dsgracefu defeat
