PREMEDrTATED TREAsoN.--THE REAL ISSUE,
UNION OR DISUNION. ...a
When Mr. Sumner closed his recent speech in the Senate
the venerable patriot and Lewis Cass and
pronounced it athe most unpatriotc and unAmerican
speech ever delivered in thai body In all respects except
its rhetorical style, Mr. Summers speech has fit parallel
in an elaborate editorial article the PRESIDENCY" in the
New York Courier and Enquirer of the 2eth instant No
one who ia blind with anacsm deliberately bent
on the disruption Of the Union read the two first para
graphs without feeling that he is reading the reckless
threats Of hearess ncendiary the deliberate purposes
OF a confirmed traitor. We quote them;
"TuE PaEsIpESoy.--W hoover is capable of reasoning
upon national affairs compelled to admit that have ap
preached crisis the nations history such has
Cured before We in the midst of reyoluton the or
gin Of which is sectional and its avowed object to crafty the
graspng ambition of the slave power and civil waged
behalf of freedom and in resistance of slavery extension Is
fitting accompaniment Of attempt the part Of the
South and their coaborers Of the North to trampe the
principles and of the constitution by the extension
slavery into free territory through the direct legislation of
the general government. s."
hat such is precisely the state of the country no
acknowledgment will deny; and this admitted the remedy
simple and the duty of every patriot perfectly apparent
The remedy to the polls and through the baotbox
repudiae the infamous platform put forth Cincinnati and
which the black flag of SLAVERY with characters
tic impndence and falling in this do fathers did be-
fore by naienable rights and drive back with
those who dare rampe upon inheritance There
Boosting and threat in this 1t is the calm language
honest conscientious and determined eemen, waited to
us by every breeze from the West and they already
pg in strict conformity with their arowed determination
We have in the first of these two paragraphs the ad-
mission Of General Webb that Hciyil war" exists in Kan
sA and that it waged in behalf of freedom and in
sistauce of slavery extension Stated in its proper
Kansas by men and furnished by the black repub
cans for the purpose of ovethrowng the territorial gov
ernment provided by Congress And this civil war is
nment Of the legislation of the general government
which provides that the people of Kansas may adopt
reject the institution Of slavery as they choose This
admission has the credit of bodnes and in that respect
contrasts avorably with the cowndly efforts of of
the traitors who seek 10 up their under the
pretext that they unwilling recognise the validity
of legislature chosen by fraud and force Gen. Webb
ayows the treason and openly justes it. In effect he
pronounces judgment of guilt upon the Topeka heroes
who stand charged with tie crime of treason and bis
counsel them is TO merge the odum and the penalty Of
their crime IN .ha glory Of successful revolution

The Fremont party have already resolved that the baobor

Tae constitution is to be respected in the pending contest
as a mere matter Of form. An appeal to Is openly
ayowed as the fixed determination OF the hosts rallying

that Gen webb did not promugate this premedated tra
