Ought they. not, in unnistakable terms, to

alone the tremendous responsibility?
As an instance Of tho cffact of outside pres-

stirring times, we take tho following from the
Dadoyi1le (Ala) Banner:

Gticlsm hare already commenced their work Of
destruction and desolation upon our friends in
New-York city, by firing and consuming the
Astor House. But they met. with fearful re-
trlbution; the friends Of the South rallied, and
burned down the TINES and Tribune offices, and
about seventy other buildings belonging to the
Republicans. From last accounts they were
on the eve Of collision.
PROPOSITION TO PUT DOWN EXCITEMENT
We find the following In the Washington
correspondence Of the New York Times Of

It is also said that on Tuesday and Wednes-

No, there must he a reyo1uticn in the senti-

their hearts before the Union can ever be re-
established upon It's old basis.
