this time the Times, by rebel agencies,
is in Richmond, and JEFF. Davis is posted,
as fully as the Times can post him, upon
the strength and the material Of this expe-
dition. Published against the express wish and
request of the authorities, this revelation shows
plainly the secession proclivities of the cham
pion racer of Solferino and Bull run, and en-
titles him to a stall in Fort Lafayette, and pri-
son feed from the public crib for the remainder
Of his days. Men have been sent there for
lesser offences. In yesterdays Times, also,
further revelations are attempted, and only the
mercy Of the administration will preserve tho
celebrated runner from atoning for his offences
in manner more summary than agreeable
The World used to be dull and honest;
but India rubber gave it an elastic con-
science, and the Ring sold it to stockbroker,
who now uses it to bull and bear Wall street.
1t suits the stockholders purpose, now, to bear
the market and consequently the World ID
filed with groans, and tears and cowardly
plants about -FOUR military reverses;" "the ter
rible affair of Monday" and the superior "phi-
losophy" and generalship of the rebels. Tho
World has been ruined by associating with ia
panese Aldermen, and is now committing tho
poltroonery OF ha'rslcarri-a Japanese custom.
In its Saturdays issue it endorses its whitelver-
ed reports, which we have before exposed, and
reiterates its cowardly comments upon the Ed
wards Ferry reconnaissance. Yesterday II
contained another article discouraging to the
Union cause and doubtful as to the duration and
result Of the war.
There are the criminals, and here are the In
dictments and the proofs. Their reduced sizes
and receipts, their scant advertisements and
less circulation, and their pitiful beggings for
Corporation pap, show that these old offenders
arc in the last stage Of pauperism, and that cha
rity, as well as justice, demands that they should
be shut up. Let the court pronounce sentence
The Abolition Conspiracy at the North.
There exists an abolition conspiracy at the
North not less inimical to the Union than
that of JEFF. Davis and the Southern rebels.
The abolitionists have always been, and are to-
day, just as much opposed to the Union a. it
was as they are to slavery itself Indeed, re-
garding the Union as only protection to
slavery, the abolitionists openly and unreserved-
ly repudiated the Union and denounced the
constitution for years before this rebellion
broke out They endeavored to induce the
North to secede from the South, and were de-
lighted when the South saved them any farther
trouble by seeding for ITSELF They publicly
announced that the secessionists undesignedly
aided the anti-slavery cause, and Greeley
through his Tribune, and Wendell Phillips, from,
the stump, proclaimed great abolition victory
accomplished. They argued that a Southern
confederacy could not long exist alongside
free republic without losing its slaves, either
by the slow processes Of peace or by the quick
emancipation of war. This was, then, the adolf
ton programme, and the Southern rebels had
then no better defenders and supporters than
the abolitionists of the North. No articles then
more convincingly argued the right of secession
than the editorials Of the Tribune and the ora
torical essays of Wendell Phillips.
Presently we find Greeley plotting his own
articles and Phillips eating his own words
Both pretended to abandon their secession
ideas and support our war for the Union. What
caused this sudden change Of front! It was
caused, first, by the pressure of public opinion
which mobbed the abolition leaders at Bostonsl
and refused to listen to them Gas in the case Of
Helper) in New York. Then necessity inventeds
for the abolitiOnists better mode of accom-
plishing the object to which they have devoted
their lives, and that mode was the using thie
war as means of abolition, by makings
it war of emancipation. Greeley and
Phillips conceived this plan of using
rr:o
Of the underground railroad against the
institution of slavery. Both at once recanted
their secession dogmas. Both advocated the
war: Both devoted themselves, body and soul,
to the work Of forcing the administration into
making this war Of emancipation, and called
all abolitiondom in this country and in Eng
land to their aid Thus was inaugurated
new abolition conspiracy, which, dropping the
old idea Of dissolution of the Union with
shareholders, attempts, with devilish ingenuity,
to use the power Of the Union itself to accom-
plish the abolition Of slavery, just as Floyd and
Cobb used the power of the Union to accom-
plish secession.
The Internal skill and cunning with which
this conspiracy is working is almost incredible.

hesitated to believe that the Southern rebels
were in earnest, because such baseness in this
country and in this age seems marvellous. The
Southern conspiracy is now understood, how
ever, and the people will comprehend this I
abolition conspiracy, also, now that the
proofs of its existence and its man. I
agement are so obvious. To force the admins /
tration to make this war Of emancipation it I
was necessary to excite the people of the North /
to such frenzy that the real object of the war
the restoration Of the Union-should be lost
sight Of, and that the Sontherners should be re-
garded, not as brothers, to be forcibly reclaim +
ed, but as enemies, to be exterminated. In 4
other words, the abolition must be substituted |.
for the constitutional view Of the war. But the !
wholesale lies about Southern cruelties, the IA
natical appeals Of the Tribune, the impassioned
harangues of abolition orators, ali failed to
