Division and Probable Revolution
at The NOrth-The South Safe.

We never have believed that the Wnole
Northern people approved Of Lincoin's war,
notwithstanding the repeated assertions OF the
Black Republican papers as to the ~naty OF the
people of that section; and the following ex-
tracts from Northern papers compiled by the
Richmond Dispatch assures us that our i'm
pressions are correct We are united and they
are diDided, and they dare not attempt war
of coercion The following will be perused
with interest:
SOME RIGHTEOUS MEN LEFT.
We have read with much satisfaction the
manly and high-toned sentiments OF that able
Democratic journal, the Concord IN. H.
Standard. In its issue of May Attn, IL thus
raises its courageous voice against -he war Of
invasion:
owe are for peace. The South, which, in
this scandalous civil war, will include every
slaveholding State cannot be reconquered.-
Her sons may be defeated on the field of bat
tie; her cities destroyed; her fields laid waste;
but they will then not be conquered. If de-
feated; they wifi flee to their mountain fast
nesses and their morasses, and still carry on
the war. until ultimately their invaders will be
driven from their soil. They never will be con-
auered Then, why make upon them
Why sacrifice thousands of precious lives and
hundreds of millions of money, when, In the
end it will avail nothing?
1--WE are not for the invasion of the South.
We are for the defence of the North. If our
brethren of the South invade the North, we
are for repelling them. We are for defending
the civ of Washington until Maryland shall
sccede- AS long as that State shall remain in
the Northern Union, we are for defending the
integrity of her soil, and that embraces the
CITY of Washington. It she secedes, it will be
useless even to defend Washington"
In reply to threats of violence by the4iepub-
licans, the Standard says:
"No. Beware of attempting Re1gn Of
Terror among the other calamities which your
policy has brought upon your country. DO
that, and you initiate civil war at your own
DOORS You will transfer it from Virginia and
Carolina to New Hampshire and Maine, Con
necticut New York, Iilinois-the entire North.
No Democrat at the North, with the heart Of a
freeman beating in his bosom, will submit to
YOUR threatened despotisln."
In an article on "Democrats in arms for the
defence of Washington it speaks as follows:
$50 FIR as we can learn, large majority Of
the soldiers enlisted in this State for the de-
fence Of Washington, are Democrats And
they un lerstand we'll what they are going to
Washington for. 1t is not to wage a war of
revenge or conquest against the South but to
defend the Government and Capital Of the
Union.
"Of the regiment (the 25th) raised in Albany,
n y, the Albany Argus says:
".Uf that regiment of soldiers thus march
ing to the service of their country, nine-tenths
are Democ. ats.
And the New York Day Book remarks of
the troops going from theat city
MANY of the troops that have gone from
New York said that they would defend the
Capital but never engage in an aggressive war
on the SOUTH ''
The Boston journal having threatened the
editor with an assault on person and property
he thus replies:
And we now say to the editor Of the Boston
Journal, that if the mob, at his lnstlgatlon
shall asslil our person or property, if we sur
vive. zee sAaIAoM him responsible for the cut
r0ge in PROPERTY, PERSON AND LIFE.
1--WE tell that malignant and blood-thirsty
miscreant. that the blood of the first Democrat
| of the Granite State that shall be shed by a
| Black Republican mob in this contest, will be
avenged bv all the Democrats Of the Granite
! State Beware of the entertainment to which
your are inviting your countrymen at home,
| by your barbarouS and bloody counsels.-
| 1t is enough to have a sectional civil war Be
ware how YOU instIgate a war of factions at
| home"
! The Y. II. Patriot says that in Saco, Maine,
| a large mob surrounded the office of the Demo-
crqt ad demanded that flag should be raised
| on peril of the destruction of the Office! The
! editor was absent, but a few resolute friends
successfully resisted all their attempts to enter
the office and after much disgraceful roting,
they left without accomplishing their purpose.
! The Democrat says:
"We advise all Democrats of York county,
while they stand by the county and Its laws
to put their firearms of all descriptions in the
best order Immediately and keep them loaded
for immediate and effective service They may
be needed at any moment to protect their fam
lies and their dwellings,. The rowdy part o
the Republican party (and which controls the
party we have reason to believe have planned
an extended system of terrorism upon al
Democrats who speak out their sentiments, ant
no man is safe. His own neighbor who meets
him with pohteness in daily business may Sc
murderers and incendiaries upon him at nj ght
We have seen and learned enough to be wei
satisfied that this diabolism has been set OF
foot and extends through the courty."
The Patriot protests Indignantly against al
Internal proposition of the Boston Att0s ant
Bee, edited by the Adiutant General of Massa
chusetts, who calls upon the Federal Govern
ment to arm The servile population of Easter
Virginia. 1t has also an article headed -
Patriotic Family in which three tenderet
their services to the Government, Clerk
Postmaster, and Mail Agent!
One Republican paper comes out for Peace
The Hartford C0ur0nt, which is the leading
Republican journal of Connecticut, is constance
to admit that the only way to obtain peace L
to recognize the Government of the Contederat
States 1t says:
s'Public opinion in the North seems to b
gradually settling down IN .facor Of the rec
ognitian Of the neao Co4tsderocy by the Fede
raj Government. The thought of a bloody an
protrocted ciri1 acar, except as a matter c
absolute necessity is ABHoRRENT to all, and it
issues may be as peritous to the cictors as t.
the camquished. To subjugate the secede
States by force of arms and compel them to re
main in the Union, if it be possible, must in
volve great expenditure of treasure and life
and can result only in changing the presen
alienation into deadly hostility and incurdbt
hate. If they remain in the Union, they mus
